"I simply don't believe that the might of a single Longevity Fruit is unable to make me cultivate to the Undying Body! Is cultivating the Undying Body really that difficult?"
Fang Han fully circulated the power of the Longevity Fruit, penetrating it into his mind. He attempted to refine his mind and the nine great seas of consciousness, to merge his physical body and natal Heaven and Earth Dharma Form into one, and cultivate the Undying Body.
However, his power and lifespan were both climbing steadily. That mind and the nine great seas of consciousness remained sturdy, firmly holding the final line of defense from beginning to end, avoiding being refined. Despite it being convenient to utilize the Great Blood Soul Technique and various divine abilities, that physical body and natal Heaven and Earth Dharma Form were just short of a hair's breadth, unable to merge into one.
In the end, his lifespan, upon completely refining the Longevity Fruit, finally reached a terrifying number! Sixty-four thousand years! And his power had also reached an astonishing height, the power of one billion eight hundred million galloping fierce horses.
In other words, every palm Fang Han struck out now was equivalent to the power of eighteen Immemorial Heavenly Dragons. It was equivalent to eighteen eternal giants, powerhouses at the first layer of the Longevity Secret Realm, joining hands. This kind of power was simply world-shocking, worthy of being called a myth and a legend.
"Fang Han, your power and lifespan have both reached a peak, but this God Emperor Wu Shitian is merely a God Emperor at the first layer of the Longevity Secret Realm, and indeed is of no help to you breaking through to the Undying Body. Now his life essence has completely entered your body. In the future, if you slay a God Emperor of the same level and absorb their Longevity Fruit again, it won't yield any effects. Unless you slay a God Emperor with the Undying Body, the kind like God Emperor Hentian."
Seeing Fang Han's power climbing steadily, Yan was also shocked in his heart, yet he offered words of dissuasion.
"Hmph, not breaking through to the Undying Body doesn't matter either. Anyway, sooner or later, I will comprehend this layer. The increase in power and lifespan is actually a good thing. Every time I execute the Minor Destiny Technique, I have to consume quite a bit of lifespan; no matter how long the lifespan is, it's never too much. Sixty-four thousand years! Eight times eight is sixty-four, perfectly corresponding to the aspect of the Eight Trigrams. This is stronger than any Undying Body. Young Master Chu Nan's half-god, half-human body inherited the long lifespan bloodline of the God Race, and further inherited the wisdom of humans. I don't know how long his lifespan is; seeing him execute the Life Seal, a sudden four thousand years, his face didn't change and his heart didn't beat faster."
Fang Han was not discouraged by the inability to break through to the Undying Body; instead, his mind was joyous. Having swallowed this Longevity Fruit, he felt himself getting closer and closer to the Undying Body.
Perhaps, with a sudden comprehension in the next moment, he could merge his physical body and natal Heaven and Earth Dharma Form into one, gaining myriad transformations and a skyrocketing surge in power.
"Correct, Fang Han, your current power is even stronger than that of a powerhouse with the Undying Body. People with the Undying Body generally have a lifespan of thirty to forty thousand years, and their power is around ten Immemorial Heavenly Dragons. Yet you have fully double that of theirs. Once your physical body and primordial spirit merge into one, it will reach an inconceivable realm."
Yan said excitedly. His long body flew out from the Yellow Springs Diagram, his ferocious claws, scales, and tail faintly discernible within the demonic aura.
This conversation, however, scared the three disciples of the Pure Yang Hall half to death.
"A lifespan of sixty-four thousand years, the power of one billion eight hundred million galloping fierce horses! Refining a God Emperor of the God Race, what kind of strength is this! How could he be hidden within our Endless Star Palace. Moreover, being a disciple of the Ascension Sect, it's another Feng Baiyu!"
That elegant and poised disciple let out a long howl, his mood unspeakably terrible, yelling hysterically. His physical body was shaken until it shattered, but because he had cultivated the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form, he would not die temporarily.
The disciples of the Endless Star Palace actually knew a great deal about the Xuanhuang Great World; especially in the Endless Star Palace's book "Various Worlds", which detailed various situations of the Xuanhuang Great World, even the Ascension Sect. Some high-ranking disciples also knew a bit about the current headmaster of the Ascension Sect, Feng Baiyu.
Previously, Feng Baiyu had also infiltrated the Endless Star Palace, also arrived at the Saintess Hall, and eventually abducted the Hall Master of the Saintess Hall.
"Senior Brother, spare my life, Senior Brother spare my life! Just now we were ignorant; Your Excellency is magnanimous and forgiving, spare us. We do not want to die!" That sinister-faced disciple suddenly rolled his eyes and began to beg for mercy.
"Begging for mercy? Is begging me for mercy really of any use? You must die! If you don't die. Wouldn't my secrets be exposed? But the contribution points, medicinal pills, and magical treasures on your bodies will all belong to me! Furthermore, I want your divine abilities as well! To reward my subordinates in the future!"
Fang Han laughed heartily, entirely ignoring the pleas for mercy from these disciples. First, with a fierce illumination of the Great Purgatory Zen Light, the three disciples were instantly transitioned and obediently offered the contribution points from their jade tokens. Fang Han then reversed the Great Purgatory Zen Light, making them wake up, and subsequently struck out a sudden palm, which was precisely the Hand of the Heavens from the recently plundered "Great Firmament Technique".
"Pop!"
The massive palm imprint shattered the void to kill, directly hitting that sinister-faced disciple until he exploded out of thin air. The flesh and blood of his physical body was absorbed by the Great Blood Soul Technique, while his natal Heaven and Earth Dharma Form completely disintegrated, splitting into nineteen types of divine abilities, all being Daoist techniques related to star divine abilities.
These nineteen divine abilities also flew into the Eight Division Furnace within the Eight Division Float, gathering together with God Emperor Wu Shitian's thirty-three supreme divine abilities.
Fang Han natively wouldn't merge these divine abilities into his body. Instead, when refining divine abilities in the future, he would solely keep the Three Thousand Great Daos, and all other Daoist techniques would be entirely sealed up and smelted into the Eight Division Float.
These divine abilities were also extraordinarily precious. When Fang Han bestowed them upon Star Cloud Baby, or bestowed them upon Dragon Xuan, Crane Fairy, and Demoness in the future, they would instantly possess all the divine abilities these disciples had painstakingly cultivated, saving them several sixty-year cycles of bitter cultivation.
Moreover, Fang Han did not intend to transition these few people. Transitioning them would be letting them off easy, and in his current Eight Division Float, there were ten million celestial demons, five thousand Heavenly Demon Kings, and numerous golden cores. The Heavenly Demon Kings would still need to advance and transform in the future, requiring a vast amount of primordial energy. He couldn't be bothered to waste primordial energy raising these three people; directly killing them, plundering their essence energy, and plundering their divine abilities was trouble-saving and clean.
"Fang Han, I will remember your name; for eternity after eternity, I will never let you off." That slightly plump disciple wearing a hat howled wildly.
"An ant-like thing!" Fang Han directly struck him dead with one palm and collected his divine abilities. This disciple had seventeen types of divine abilities. They were also very formidable.
"My father is the Vice Hall Master of the Myriad Treasures Hall, and also an eternal giant, do not kill me. After killing me, there will definitely be a thorough investigation! They will definitely trace it back to you. Why don't you let me go, I will absolutely not leak the slightest bit of a secret, and just say I came to the fourth underground layer and encountered formidable demons! And had my physical body blasted to pieces."
That elegant and poised disciple hastily begged for mercy.
Yan, however, showed a solemn expression on his face: "Fang Han, this is a troublesome matter. Those two disciples had no background, killing them is nothing. This disciple possesses a low-grade Dao artifact, the Profound Yin Heavenly Net Canopy; it can be seen that his claim of his father being the Vice Hall Master of the Myriad Treasures Hall should be true. If killed, there will certainly be an investigation, and he cannot be compared to the other two disciples without background."
Fang Han's mind stirred, and he nodded, "Correct, this disciple cannot be killed, he must be controlled. Moreover, he is a disciple of the Pure Yang Hall, which will be of great benefit for my future entry into the Pure Yang Hall."
While speaking, his fingers tapped continuously. Waves of the power of destiny leaped and penetrated into this disciple's natal Heaven and Earth Dharma Form. Tightly entwining it.
He did not use the Great Purgatory Zen Light to transition him, because once transitioned, it was very easy to see through.
"Go! I am letting you off today, but from now on, you serve me loyally! I have already laid down a restriction in your body; your every move is within my grasp. I believe you will know what to do in the future."
While speaking, Fang Han waved his hand.
This elegant and poised disciple nodded repeatedly, "I will definitely be an excellent servant for Your Excellency in the future." Afterwards, his body flew up, fleeing far away and disappearing without a trace.
He fled outward for a short while, directly reaching the first underground layer before stopping. A ferocious expression appeared on his face, and he roared in his heart: "Fang Han! You beast, making me lose all my contribution points and medicinal pills, and even making me lose my physical body! I am going to report you, thoroughly report you! That way I can obtain endless benefits. Hmph, this restriction you placed on my body, my father will definitely be able to help me remove it. With the Endless Star Palace being so large, can't even a single restriction be undone?"
Little did he know, just as such a roar emerged in his heart, suddenly that entwining power of destiny on his natal Heaven and Earth Dharma Form produced a voice: "Hmph! I knew you would go back on your word. Do you think my restriction is so simple? Let me tell you, my restriction is the number one miraculous method in Heaven and Earth. The moment your mind stirs, I will know what you are thinking about. Now, I will give you a warning, to let you know my prowess."
Suddenly, that power of destiny sharply tightened. Instantly, this elegant and poised disciple felt as if he was about to explode and suffocate, immediately roaring in agonizing pain: "Master, Master! I know my mistake."
He completely did not expect that the power the other party laid down in his natal Heaven and Earth Dharma Form could actually know what he was thinking deep in his heart at any time and any place! In this way, with a mere thought, the other party would sense it; there was simply no ability to resist at all.
What kind of Daoist technique was this, to be so miraculous?
It was simply unheard of and unseen.
"This brat completely doesn't know the miraculousness of the Minor Destiny Technique. As long as his thought stirs, I perceive it, and I can make his body explode immediately." Fang Han said coldly.
Ever since Fang Han advanced to become an eternal giant, the miraculousness of the Minor Destiny Technique had begun to manifest. Possessing all sorts of inconceivable divine ability powers and functions.
When he interacted with Han Xi, he also secretly used the Minor Destiny Technique to influence the other party's mind. Secretly influencing within the other party's mind, creating a seed of trust. It wasn't like this starkly planted in.
"What do we do now?" Yan asked Fang Han: "How do we plan and arrange things?"
"You tally up God Emperor Wu Shitian's numerous magical treasures, medicinal pills, as well as the contribution points on his body. It wasn't easy for me to arrive at the underground demon nation, so naturally I must slay some demons to take back and exchange for a lot more contribution points. The contribution points of the Endless Star Palace are a good thing; there will be many places where contribution points are needed in the future."
Fang Han suddenly delivered a palm strike across a vast distance.
Three thousand miles away from him, that bull-headed monster cultivating in a cave dwelling was suddenly lifted up by an immense force, all of its cognitive thoughts instantly obliterated, turning into an empty shell.
