"Fang Yu! This will be the place where you reside from now on. Also, every month, you can head to collect a supply of one hundred Pure Yang pills. These few magic treasures are also bestowed upon you."
After exiting the main hall of the Holy Maiden Palace, Han Xi and Han Yia brought Fang Han to an opulent and magnificent side hall nearby. This side hall had layers upon layers of palace chambers and rooms. Fang Han had a feeling of arriving at an imperial palace; if it were an ordinary person, they simply wouldn't be able to find their way out.
In these palace chambers, there were crystal pillars everywhere, with magnificent precious light. Some ceremonial weapons were all treasures, emitting myriad rays of brilliance and dazzling bright light, with streams of immortal energy filling them.
"Only one hundred Pure Yang pills a month, this is truly too little. Currently, I can open the gate of the Immortal Realm myself and communicate with the Immortal Realm, refining a thousand Pure Yang pills every day." Fang Han sneered repeatedly in his heart, but his face did not show the slightest bit of dissatisfaction; instead, he appeared shedding tears of gratitude.
He did know that one hundred Pure Yang pills a month was exceedingly generous for a Golden Core master.
"This is the palace where my aunt and I reside, also within the Holy Maiden Palace, with a total of nine hundred and ninety-nine rooms. Every room has an independent supreme-grade treasure artifact pill furnace, storing various medicinal materials and treasures. Your task now is to guard the treasures and medicinal pills. During your spare time from cultivation, you can also utilize a portion of them. Distribute them to the various True Legacy disciples of my Holy Maiden Palace. This is a lucrative errand, but do not ruin your own prospects."
Han Xi led Fang Han around the side hall. It turned out that the many rooms here were the storehouses of the Holy Maiden Palace.
Now Fang Han's task was to guard these storehouses. Managing the wealth, treasures, and the distribution of various medicinal pills was indeed a lucrative errand, but these were all ordinary medicinal pills and treasure materials, which had no use for Fang Han.
The true treasures of the Holy Maiden Palace were definitely carried by the Holy Maiden herself.
That mysterious Holy Maiden had cultivated to the third level of the Longevity Secret Realm. After comprehending the spatial laws, not only could she tear space at will to shuttle through, but the domain within her body would truly condense into a material essence, and various memories would condense into one with the domain. Even if her physical body was thoroughly refined by someone, she would be reborn within the domain.
In ancient Daoist books, this was recorded as "Origin Spirit Entrusted to the Void".
"Senior Sister Han Xi, you can rest assured about this. I, Fang Yu, am also someone who has obtained a miraculous encounter. I do not lack magic treasures and medicinal pills, and I will not do things to line my own pockets."
Fang Han bowed and scraped, yet his expression remained very composed.
Of course, he had no interest in these treasures. He was merely waiting for Chiyuan Demon Venerable to launch the offensive, and then he would go to the Pure Yang Palace to clean them all out in one swoop.
Before that, he definitely had to be extremely cautious and make no movements.
"I know you have many talisman records on your body, but exactly what kind of treasure did you obtain? How come you have so many talisman records?" Han Xi asked Fang Han with great interest.
"I obtained the orthodox inheritance of the ancient True Talisman School. I obtained one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred talisman records." Fang Han spoke empty words, yet his story was watertight: "What a pity, the way of talisman records doesn't have much use for cultivation, so my cultivation has always been inadequate and has not gone up."
"Oh? You actually obtained the orthodox Dao inheritance of the True Talisman School, which went extinct in ancient times. However, your cultivation is indeed too poor to display the might of the True Talisman School. Rumor has it that when the ancient True Talisman School set up great arrays, they could startle the heavens and make ghosts weep, entering the Dao through talismans to comprehend immortal arts. Cultivate well; you will definitely be able to stand out in the future and become an ancient titan."
Han Xi encouraged.
"Senior Sister, you are also about to cultivate to the Longevity Secret Realm, right? How much is lacking? Once you step into the Longevity Secret Realm, you will have ten thousand years of lifespan and can draw origin energy from the Immortal Realm. Your magical powers will skyrocket, and your dharma power will be vigorous." Fang Han felt that this Han Xi also had the possibility of stepping into the Longevity Secret Realm at any time.
"The Longevity Secret Realm? That is still early. Furthermore, this step is the crucial point, the most difficult to break through. Many disciples of the Limitless Star Palace are stuck at this hurdle and ultimately die of old age. Whether I can break through or not is still an unknown." Han Xi let out a faint sigh.
"What is there to be afraid of. Sooner or later you will cultivate to it. This time, the Holy Maiden has cultivated to the third level of the Longevity Secret Realm and comprehended the spatial laws. We shall go to the Xuanhuang Great World to retrieve the treasure. That treasure vault should also be opened. Having obtained the Key of the Desolate God, with a casual circulation, it can alter your physical body and elevate you to the stage of the Longevity Secret Realm."
Han Yia said, completely unconcerned.
"Aunt! This secret…" Han Xi hurriedly glanced at Han Yia, then fixed her gaze on Fang Han.
"Rest assured, the Holy Maiden has already inspected him; there are no problems. Moreover, his talisman records are highly useful to us." Han Yia waved her hand: "Perhaps, when we go to the Tianwu Treasure Vault to retrieve the treasure, we might even take him along. After all, the talisman records on his body were all refined by ancient titans of antiquity and possess massive might."
Han Yia raised her head, "Fang Yu, why don't you take out some of your talisman records and let me take a look?"
"Alright!"
Fang Han's heart stirred, and he successively took out over a hundred talisman records, all refined by the nine great ancient titans within the Eight Parts Pagoda. The nine great ancient titans were all at their peak periods now, and their lifespans had all recovered to their strongest times. Especially Daoist Wood, after swallowing the Chaos Flesh and Blood, was faintly on the verge of breaking through to the realm of the Immortal Body immediately.
Fang Han had long known that to truly settle down in the Limitless Star Palace, keeping his physical body hidden while mingling smoothly, he had to rely on talisman records. Therefore, while underground, he hunted demons and monsters while refining powerful talisman records.
With nine great ancient titans, having also opened the Dragon World and the Buddha World, exactly how terrifying was it when they refined talisman records? Moreover, he had killed Divine Emperor Wu Shitian and over ten Divine Kings, obtaining quite a few materials. Having just killed Li Yunsheng of the "Greedy Wolf Palace" and obtaining his magic treasure pouch, the materials within were also incredibly abundant, enough to refine various formidable talisman records following the methods in the Heavenly Dragon Secret Manual.
Inside the Eight Parts Pagoda, the nine great ancient titans continuously threw various materials into the Eight Parts Melting Furnace. Various corpses and skeletons of demons and monsters, and even treasure artifacts.
Meanwhile, Yan flew into the Eight Parts Pagoda to assist, continuously using the techniques of the Heavenly Dragon Secret Manual to refine various talisman records with powerful might.
Yan's body was originally the pure yang skeleton of an immemorial heavenly dragon. Now that the Dragon World was thrown wide open, after swallowing the Eight Parts True Dragon Energy, he grew closer and closer to a heavenly dragon, becoming an even more powerful existence. Utilizing the various artifact-refining techniques in the Heavenly Dragon Secret Manual complemented him even better.
As materials were continuously thrown into the Eight Parts Melting Furnace, that melting furnace sprayed out one formidable talisman record after another, supplying them for Fang Han to extract.
"Not bad, not bad, you indeed obtained the orthodox Dao inheritance of the ancient True Talisman School. Are these talisman records truly this formidable? But it seems the majority of them utilize the artifact-refining techniques of the Dragon Race." Han Yia's words caused some stir in Fang Han's heart; this woman was not simple.
Han Xi also took a talisman record and shook it slightly. This talisman record emitted five-colored radiance, condensing into an ornate canopy that floated above her head, preventing myriad evils from invading.
"So formidable, this is the Great Five Elements Amulet! To think it is a divine amulet that could only be condensed by the Great Five Elements Technique, which ranks in the top ten among the Three Thousand Great Daos!" Han Yia was shocked.
"It seems that as long as your cultivation continues to improve during this period, we could truly take you to the Tianwu Treasure Vault to hunt for treasures."
"What Tianwu Treasure Vault?" Fang Han asked pretendingly, but in his heart, the world was already turned completely upside down! How could he not know about the Tianwu Treasure Vault? He had obtained all the memories of the Heaven Devouring Holy Beast, and he had thoroughly seen through many of the secrets of the Tianwu Treasure Vault. He didn't expect that the people of the Holy Maiden Palace were also plotting for this treasure vault.
"However, it also seems that the Heaven Devouring Holy Beast only obtained the secret after devouring an elder of the Limitless Star Palace. Therefore, the Limitless Star Palace has a much more detailed account of the secrets regarding the Tianwu Treasure Vault." Upon thinking about it, Fang Han understood.
"Oh, the Tianwu Treasure Vault is the treasure vault of a master comparable to an immortal in the Xuanhuang Great World. Inside, there are supreme-grade Dao artifacts, boundless magic treasures, endless Daoist books and secret manuals, heaven-grade spiritual pills, and also immortal pills. We will take you there, and if you can establish merit, we will bestow upon you an immortal pill. I will personally refine it for you; you will definitely be able to cultivate to an exceedingly high realm. Not to mention the Longevity Secret Realm, reaching the ninth level of Magical Power is no problem. Of course, if we obtain the Key of the Desolate God, elevating you to the Longevity Secret Realm is not an impossible thing either."
Han Yia made one promise of benefits after another.
"Yes!"
On the surface, Fang Han was highly excited, but deep in his heart, he was scheming one plan after another.
"Alright, we are going to cultivate. Conduct yourself well." After saying this, the bodies of Han Yia and Han Xi flashed and disappeared, each returning to their secret chambers to comprehend and cultivate.
"I have finally safely evaded a probe, and my identity is truly stabilized. These people of the Holy Maiden Palace are going to the Tianwu Treasure Vault to retrieve treasures, hehe! To me, this is an excellent opportunity. Now my fear is precisely that these people head to the Tianwu Treasure Vault first and bring me along; then it will be difficult for me to extricate myself. I must restore the power of the Yellow Spring Diagram when the demons and monsters attack so that I can go to the Tianwu Treasure Vault and seize the Key of the Desolate God."
Fang Han's only worry now was the timing difference.
Currently, his identity within the Limitless Star Palace was considered stable.
"You can rest assured about this; there are also experts in the Limitless Star Palace." Yan said: "Chiyuan Demon Venerable is plotting against the Limitless Star Palace. If he manages to successfully plot against them just like that, then the Limitless Star Palace wouldn't be the sect that monopolizes the Limitless Great World. Back then, when the Yellow Spring Great Emperor was around, the Limitless Star Palace was already overwhelmingly arrogant; even the Yellow Spring Demonic Sect was no match for them."
"I have thought of this as well. In short, for now, we will quietly observe the changes and cultivate individually. I will also take this opportunity to condense the Great Calamity Technique and various Dao techniques a bit!"
Fang Han also found a place, sat down cross-legged, and probed his surroundings. Finding nothing, he closed his eyes and focused his spirit with all his might, projecting it into various space-times. He slowly absorbed the calamity energy permeating the various space-times, gradually condensing it into a dark cloud of calamity over his Source Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol…
