"Just killing one Shura made these people so surprised. If I took out the corpse of the Pink Prince, I wonder how shocked they would be?"
Seeing the surrounding gazes gather upon him, containing surprise, disbelief, and shock… Fang Han still had a flash of pride in his heart, tasting a sense of accomplishment from becoming the focus of everyone's attention.
However, he knew that taking out the Pink Prince's corpse was absolutely impossible. Perhaps it would be fine in the future, but not now. Although the Pink Prince's corpse could be exchanged for a Yin-Yang Ten Thousand Life Pill, the temptation of this pill was far less important than his own life.
Thus, he calmly took out the Shura bone spur and presented it, placing it on the large table. He did not speak, nor was he impetuous. He remained perfectly still, giving people the feeling of having a very deep profoundness.
"It really is a Shura bone spur. It is the essence of a Shura's entire body of scales. With a little refinement, it can be forged into a spirit weapon flying sword. It truly is rare. However, it would have been better if the entire Shura corpse was brought back."
Holding the Shura bone spur, several elders looked at Fang Han, seemingly a bit unbelieving, but the Shura bone spur was indeed real, so they could only admit that he possessed the qualification for the inner court disciple examination.
"Regardless of whether this Shura bone spur is yours, or if you killed it with the help of others, presenting the bone spur is a great merit. Take this jade tablet. After resting for three days, go to the Sky Courtyard and enter the Heavenly Demon Battlefield to accept the examination. Once you pass the examination, you will be an inner court disciple and enter the inner sanctum. Also, the sect has long established a rule that if any disciple can kill a Shura, they will be rewarded with one Essence Pill and one Inedia Pill."
While one elder spoke, he handed two small bottles and a jade tablet to Fang Han, then waved his hand to let Fang Han step down.
"Thank you, Senior Sister Long, for leading the way."
Fang Han took the items and expressed his gratitude to the yellow-clothed woman beside him.
"There is no need for thanks. The inner court disciple examination is different from the outer court disciple examination. Every year, tens of thousands of disciples get the quota for the examination, but those who can truly pass it are only a few hundred. But since you were able to kill a Shura, presumably passing the inner court examination will not be difficult. It is very likely that your name will be on the Mountain and River Ranking in the future, and by then we might even be competitors. I will keep a close eye on you."
The yellow-clothed woman smiled slightly.
Seeing this, Fang Han did not speak further. He gave a compliant response and withdrew.
Through the information just now, he had roughly guessed that this yellow-clothed woman was very likely a highly ranked inner court disciple, and most probably an expert on the Mountain and River Ranking.
And certainly ranked higher than "Silver Snake Sword" Yuan Jiankong.
Because Yuan Jiankong was the last place on the Mountain and River Ranking.
Within the "Sleeping Immortal Courtyard", Fang Han returned to his own independent small courtyard and felt a sense of peace and tranquility. After obtaining the quota for the inner court disciple examination, he had three days to adjust his body and mind before going to the "Sky Courtyard" to enter the Heavenly Demon Battlefield and accept the cruel examination.
The inner court disciple examination was ten times more difficult than the outer court disciple examination! Ten times more dangerous!
After resting for a while, he recalled all of his experiences from battling the sand bandits, killing the Pink Prince, going to the underground world to kill blood wolves, blood bears, blood bat yakshas, Shuras, and various other demons. He comprehended the gains and losses within and corrected his mistakes.
He spent the whole afternoon recalling, until nightfall. Fang Han felt that his spirit was full, his whole body was filled with confidence, and he had benefited immensely. Therefore, he flipped open "Various Worlds" to find the introduction regarding the "Heavenly Demon Battlefield" examination.
"Various Worlds" was an introductory encyclopedia. It had no specific cultivation methods but was very useful. It let disciples know about astronomy, geography, and sect rules. Naturally, it introduced various examinations in detail and clearly.
"The Heavenly Demon Battlefield refers to a passage opened by the Headmaster of the Ascension Sect using supreme divine abilities, connecting to the sky beyond the realm. In the Heavenly Demon Battlefield, there are many formless heavenly demons wandering, which is extremely dangerous. If a disciple with great wisdom, great perseverance, and great achievements enters the Heavenly Demon Battlefield and overcomes the temptations of the heavenly demons, they can enter the inner sanctum and become an inner court disciple…"
"So that's how it is… the Heavenly Demon Battlefield is actually this kind of place. In the universe, there are heaven, earth, and human demons. I have seen both human demons and earth demons, but I have not seen heavenly demons. According to rumors, heavenly demons do not have a true physical form; they are just a wisp of airflow, a wisp of thought. They bewilder cultivators. Only those heavenly demons of extremely high levels can cultivate a physical form and become Demon Kings! Demon Gods!"
Fang Han thought secretly.
Heavenly demons were different from earth demons. Ordinary heavenly demons were just a wisp of thought, and slightly higher heavenly demons were no more than a wisp of airflow, still belonging to the class of dark spirits and ghosts. Only those extremely high heavenly demons would use their powerful demonic thoughts to condense into a true form, incarnating as Demon Kings.
The Demon Kings among heavenly demons, like the Great Asuras among earth demons, were equivalent to the experts of the Divine Ability Realm in the immortal path.
The Demon Gods among heavenly demons, and the Demon Gods among earth demons, were the experts of the Longevity Realm.
The "Heavenly Demon Battlefield" was a place to test a disciple's mentality. Most of them were formless heavenly demons, and it was impossible for existences of the Demon King level to appear. But even if formless heavenly demons entered a person's brain, invaded a person's thoughts, and occupied a person's body at any time, it was also extremely terrifying. The examined disciples could only rely on their powerful willpower and spirit to slay the heavenly demons invading their minds.
"Heavenly demons are good, heavenly demons are wonderful!" Yan suddenly cried out. "Heavenly demons are the best materials for refining pills."
"I do not want to be possessed by heavenly demons and become neither human nor ghost. The hundreds of thousands of outer court disciples of the Ascension Sect are all elites, and their backgrounds are much better than mine, yet only three to five thousand out of so many people can become inner court disciples. This shows how immensely difficult the examination is, picking one out of a thousand. Moreover, in the Heavenly Demon Battlefield, there must be people watching at all times. I cannot use your power, I can only rely on my own means, so I must cultivate rigorously."
Fang Han closed "Various Worlds" and started figuring out how to cultivate.
After thinking for a moment, his hand shook, and several walnut-sized "Blood Pills" appeared in his hand. He picked up one Blood Pill, put it in his mouth, chewed twice, and swallowed it.
Suddenly, a stream of hot air diffused in his stomach, spreading in all directions, filling his muscles and bones, and rising to his head. Immediately, his head felt a burst of heat, as if it was going to melt.
"Such powerful medicinal efficacy!"
Fang Han shook his head, feeling a bit tipsy, yet extremely comfortable, as if floating in the clouds.
"Of course, the medicinal efficacy of this Blood Pill is much stronger than the Essence Pill that was just given to you! Even the Essence Pill, I can be sure, is a highly sought-after item in the Ascension Sect. Hmph! Although the food in the Ascension Sect is exquisite, it can at most raise the physical body to the level of six or seven horse power, which is still far away from reaching the Divine Ability Realm. Only by relying on various pills can one continuously improve their physical quality. If you want a horse to run fast, you must feed the horse well. This is a universally applicable truth." Yan saw Fang Han swallow the Blood Pill it refined and could not help but say very proudly, "Hurry up and cultivate, take advantage while the medicinal efficacy has not yet settled down!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Han quickly circulated the "Yuan Chen Mental Technique", and at the same time, his body continuously moved, performing fist techniques.
His current state was seemingly drunk yet not drunk, seemingly awake yet not awake, in a strange mental plane. It was like practicing drunken fist; there was no fear and no sorrow in his heart, which was the best state for cultivation.
Bang bang bang!
Under the continuous application of the physical body, qi and blood, fierce like the tide, constantly surged to the head.
One hour passed, two hours passed…
Fang Han continuously trained his physical body and tempered his spirit. When tired, he would rest for a while. After waiting until he was full of energy, he would get up and continue cultivating. He completely forgot the passage of time.
Under such high-intensity cultivation, his mind became clearer and clearer, and his understanding of his own brain became clearer.
Whoosh, suddenly Fang Han stepped forward and fiercely pushed out his palms. The four windows rattled violently from the strong wind. One palm was fierce, with air waves like the tide.
Boom!
Qi and blood rose sharply. Fang Han's face flushed red, and he felt a mysterious part within his brain.
"Divine Transformation Acupoint! This is the Divine Transformation Acupoint!"
As soon as Fang Han felt that mysterious part in his brain, his entire body jolted, knowing that he had finally stepped into the final layer of the Physical Body Realm, the realm of Divine Transformation!
In the brain, there was an acupoint called the Divine Transformation Acupoint. It was the key part that controlled the prosperity and decline of all organs in the whole body, the body's height, and weight. If someone cultivated to the "Divine Transformation" realm, they could control this "Divine Transformation Acupoint", slowly altering their body shape and height! Then, step by step growing stronger, changing the physical body toward the most perfect direction!
Divine Transformation!
This word "transformation" came exactly from this.
The Divine Transformation Acupoint is equivalent to the pineal gland and pituitary gland.
