"My calculations were indeed not wrong. Having cultivated to the tenth stage of the Divine Ability Realm, the Heaven Defying Fate Altering realm, I am now able to cultivate the Minor Destiny Technique. Now, as long as I am given time, I will be able to thoroughly comprehend this divine ability and grasp the mysteries of destiny. Then I will be able to thoroughly bring Senior Sister back to life."
"Su Xiuyi, wait until I succeed in cultivating my peerless divine ability; I will definitely kill you! No, I will turn you into a pig or a dog, then make you mate with pigs and dogs, ensuring you can never turn your fortunes around for all eternity!"
Fang Han was overjoyed in his heart, secretly making a vicious vow.
That segment of syllables of the "Minor Destiny Technique" continually drifted through his heart. Unexpectedly, it produced a trace of profound lingering charm, no longer obscure and incomprehensible like before. This was a sign of comprehension. He believed that as long as he thoroughly calmed his mind and made his wisdom transparent, he would be able to completely comprehend the profoundness of this supreme divine ability.
The Minor Destiny Technique was simply the number one divine ability Fang Han had ever seen. It could actually repel even the Great Reincarnation Technique, far surpassing the Great Yin-Yang Technique, the Great Five Elements Technique, and the Great Disaster Technique.
Moreover, Fang Han now knew that this Minor Destiny Technique was actually connected to the Great Fate Technique, which ranked first among the Three Thousand Great Daos. If he learned this kind of divine ability, he would simply benefit endlessly. More importantly, he could save Fang Qingxue.
"Senior Sister, no matter what happens, I will save you. By only absorbing half the vital essence of this Dragon Wood Star Core, I already advanced to the Heaven Defying Fate Altering realm, evolving three thousand arms and three thousand eyes. Now, I have thoroughly condensed the remaining star core, turning it into a bead and placing it in your mouth to protect and nourish your physical body, slowly integrating it into your flesh. Once you thoroughly wake up, Senior Sister, you will find that your power has utterly broken through into the Longevity Mystic Realm."
With a wave of his hand, Fang Han used powerful force to coalesce the remaining Dragon Wood Star Core into a fiery red bead, which landed directly into Fang Qingxue's mouth.
Subsequently, a strong red light emerged from Fang Qingxue's body.
At this precise moment, Fang Qingxue's body looked as if it were wrapped in a block of red crystal stone, holy and mysterious, looking as though she could revive at any moment to display incomparably formidable power.
Having absorbed half of the Dragon Wood Star Core, Fang Han had already reached the tenth stage of the Divine Ability Realm, Heaven Defying Fate Altering. His mind and body had reached an absolute extreme; even if he absorbed any more of the Dragon Wood Star Core's power, it would be useless.
However, once this half of the power integrated into Fang Qingxue's body, after she woke up, it would elevate her strength to an unimaginable realm.
There was even a possibility of directly breaking through to the Longevity Mystic Realm.
After all, the embryonic form of the Longevity Fruit and the Seven Lives Profound Gate Pills—these two worldly rare items—were most suitable for powerhouses at the Heaven Defying Fate Altering stage to use.
After settling everything properly, Fang Han was left with only one task, which was to thoroughly comprehend the "Minor Destiny Technique."
However, just as he had thoroughly calmed his mind to comprehend the Minor Destiny Technique, suddenly, waves of magic power fluctuations arose one after another, descending onto the surface of this dead and silent planet.
It seemed that many, many cultivators had suddenly arrived on the surface of this dead and silent planet.
"What is going on?"
Having his cultivation interrupted, Fang Han could not help but feel annoyed. He didn't even need to go out and look, nor did he need to sweep his divine intent outward; he merely sensed the vital essence of the five elements slightly.
Instantaneously, a water mirror manifested right before him.
On the water mirror appeared the surface of the planet, revealing the figures of many cultivators flying past or stopping to rest. Even their voices were transmitted out from the water mirror.
"Having cultivated to the tenth stage of the Divine Ability Realm, the Heaven Defying Fate Altering realm, my comprehension of the vital essence of heaven and earth has become even deeper, and my manipulation of it has become even more effortless. My current power is already sufficient; I am only lacking one step of transformation to then break through to the Longevity Mystic Realm. To become an eternal giant."
Looking at the cultivators coming and going on the water mirror, Fang Han knew his strength had become even more exquisite. He was only one step away from breaking through into the Longevity Mystic Realm and becoming an eternal giant.
However, this step was destined to be extremely difficult.
"By shuttling through space and time to arrive here, I have traveled far away from the Xuanhuang Great World. Just where exactly is this place? I can probably catch some clues from these passing cultivators. With people disturbing me, I also won't be able to cultivate the Minor Destiny Technique successfully." Fang Han focused fully, watching and listening to everything displayed on the water mirror. What appeared on the water mirror first were two Golden Core cultivators! Eternal minor giants, sporting arrogant and self-important auras, with starlight entwining their bodies.
These two Golden Core cultivators were a man and a woman. The man was handsome and dashing, with long, powerful arms and a slender waist. The woman's face was like a peach blossom, wearing a starlight-glinting phoenix hairpin on her head. Clearly, what they cultivated were some sort of celestial star divine abilities, and the radiance of magic treasures faintly surrounding their bodies suggested they were ensnared by powerful peerless Spirit artifacts. They were evidently high-ranking existences akin to true legacy disciples of a great sect.
The rest were some scattered cultivators. There were real persons at the fifth stage of the Divine Ability Realm, the Heaven and Earth Resonance stage, as well as experts at the sixth stage, the Unity stage, who had condensed natal talismans.
However, their clothing was scattered and untidy, seemingly rogue cultivators.
"Senior Brother! The recent rumor that a Soul Devouring Sacred Beast has appeared in this star domain, is it true?" that female Golden Core cultivator asked the male Golden Core cultivator beside her without holding anything back.
"Correct, that Soul Devouring Sacred Beast intruded into the Three Connections Sect, swallowing the souls of the cultivators of an entire sect, causing a massacre. It is growing increasingly powerful, so we must capture it and bring it back. Moreover, the soul of this Soul Devouring Sacred Beast is the best material for refining the Nine Turns Soul Returning Sacred Pill. That Nine Turns Soul Returning Pill is a Heaven-grade peerless sacred medicine, closely approaching an Immortal Pill. There are a total of nine pills, and each one can grant a foundational elevation to one's soul. It can also allow a person to obtain the memories of a thousand lifetimes of reincarnation. It holds incredibly rare benefits for cultivation. This time, the sect dispatched a large number of true legacy disciples to come here. We need to work very hard. If we are the first to discover the Soul Devouring Sacred Beast and send out a spirit talisman to notify the sect, the sect will give us generous rewards. They might even bestow us with the cultivation method of the Myriad Stars Limitless Book."
The male Golden Core cultivator swept his gaze around, a proud air manifesting on his face.
"The cultivation method for the Myriad Stars Limitless Book? Stop dreaming. That is the foundational divine ability of our Wuji Star Palace, a branch of the Great Star Dao Technique. Only those who cultivate to the Longevity Mystic Realm and become eternal giants are permitted to be taught it. Even if we render immense merits, the most that will happen is they will refine our peerless Spirit artifacts into low-grade Dao artifacts. It is impossible for them to teach us the foundational divine ability." The female Golden Core cultivator shook her head continuously.
"This Soul Devouring Sacred Beast is no trivial matter. It has already consecutively annihilated more than ten rogue cultivator sects in this star domain," the male Golden Core cultivator said. "Furthermore, the Nine Turns Soul Returning Sacred Pill is a sacred pill that many Grand Elders have long wished to refine, but unfortunately, they have always lacked the materials. If we can locate the whereabouts of the Soul Devouring Sacred Beast, then this merit will truly be overwhelming enough to cover heaven and earth."
"Be a bit more careful. The Soul Devouring Sacred Beast is even more terrifying than an eternal giant of the Longevity Mystic Realm. Even as Golden Core experts, the moment we come face to face with it, our souls might be sucked away. Leaving a corpse that isn't whole."
"En, we must be careful. We should just rest for a while on this small planet. Wait until our magic power is fully recovered, then use Pure Yang Pills to urge the Star Void Shuttle to go to another planet."
The two male and female Golden Core experts tossed out a magic treasure resembling a white cloud, sitting cross-legged upon it and swallowing pills.
The moment Fang Han saw these pills, his whole body stirred, because these pills were pure and transparent, exuding continuous waves of pure yang qi. They were actually pills condensed from Nine Yang Sacred Water, Pure Yang Pills!
"Soul Devouring Sacred Beast! Nine Turns Soul Returning Pill! Heaven is aiding me! There is even more hope for Senior Sister to recover. The Soul Devouring Sacred Beast is a primordial fierce beast of the same level as the Taotie and Kunpeng from legends. It feeds exclusively on the souls of living beings to enhance its power."
Fang Han had read records of the Soul Devouring Sacred Beast in the "Myriad Worlds".
Additionally, he had read records of the Nine Turns Soul Returning Pill in the "Heavenly Dragon Secret Manual". The Nine Turns Soul Returning Pill was a pill that enhanced a person's soul power and catalyzed a deeper wisdom. There were nine pills in total, enjoying the same fame as the Seven Lives Profound Gate Pills. One enhanced the soul, and the other opened the seven life gates of the physical body. When complementing each other, they possessed the supreme efficacy of bringing the dead back to life.
Moreover, the "Heavenly Dragon Secret Manual" contained the methods to refine the Nine Turns Soul Returning Pill, detailing various prescriptions, medicinal ingredients, and how to start the furnace to brew it.
Fang Han currently possessed a Dao artifact-grade pill furnace, the Eight部 Melting Furnace, as well as four eternal giants, plus the absolute best medicinal primer: the spiritual qi of the World Tree. It was fully sufficient to refine the Nine Turns Soul Returning Pill out.
However, the key was to find the Soul Devouring Sacred Beast and capture it.
"Disciples of the Wuji Star Palace? Could it be that this star domain is the territory of the Wuji Star Palace?" Fang Han knew long ago that the Wuji Star Palace was allegedly a gargantuan sect. The Myriad Stars Sect used to be merely a branch of it.
In the words of the Star Master, this Wuji Star Palace was even larger than the Taiyi Sect. Sitting upon countless star domains, possessing rich resources and boundlessly numerous experts, it was unfathomably deep.
The Myriad Stars Limitless Book was precisely its foundational divine ability: a single book capable of taking in stars.
After Fang Han refined the Dragon Wood Star Core, this divine ability seemingly became stimulated, deriving new transformations within his natal heaven and earth Dharma Idol.
"Since this star domain is the sphere of influence of the Wuji Star Palace, I will simultaneously comprehend the Minor Destiny Technique and capture the Soul Devouring Sacred Beast to refine the Nine Turns Soul Returning Pill. I will prepare two options; this way, I will have more assurance in having Senior Sister wake up."
"These two disciples of the Wuji Star Palace are truly arrogant enough, not holding us in their eyes at all. Do they think they can capture the Soul Devouring Sacred Beast relying simply on their own strength?"
On the surface of the planet, some cultivators felt very disdainful in their hearts upon seeing this man and woman putting on such grand airs.
"Shh! Keep your voice down! The Wuji Star Palace is incomparably huge. It's normal for them to be a bit arrogant and overbearing. Moreover, these two people are Golden Core experts, eternal minor giants holding lofty statuses. If we could cultivate a Golden Core, we would also be recruited by the Wuji Star, becoming some sort of outer gate elders. There would be provisions of Pure Yang Pills every month,"
a cultivator at the fifth stage of the Divine Ability Realm, the Heaven and Earth Resonance stage, said enviously.
"You? Having only cultivated to the fifth stage of the Divine Ability Realm, you can only go to the Wuji Star Palace to act as the lowest grade of a craftsman, specifically refining Spirit artifacts for their disciples."
A cultivator at the sixth stage of the Divine Ability Realm, the Unity stage, said: "However, Dao brother, as long as you join our Kunshan Sect, I can give you the position of a Grand Elder."
"How many disciples does your Kunshan Sect have? Barely a hundred thousand. In the Wuji Star Palace, casually picking any minor elder, they will have as many disciples under their command as you have. If I am to seek refuge, naturally I will seek refuge with the Wuji Star Palace."
Fang Han overheard some discussions from the rogue cultivators, simultaneously garnering quite a bit of information.
His mind stirred, and silently, he escaped out from the interior of the planet.
