"Let me fulfill the Yellow Spring Great Emperor's ideal. To establish whatever reincarnation, whatever Netherworld with clear rewards and punishments. Between heaven and earth, there indeed exists the word retribution. I will not kill indiscriminately, but use open and aboveboard methods so that between heaven and earth, there is good and evil!"
While speaking, Fang Han paused at every word. His eyes gently closed, and above the Heavenly Gate of his head, a slight sound seemed to transmit. It was as if a skylight had opened, presenting an expanse of bright and free ease.
"Your spirit has become pure again, taking the most solid step toward entering the Divine Ability Realm. With such a heart, even without consuming the Nine Orifices Golden Pill, you will step into the Divine Ability Realm sooner or later," "Yan" became surprisingly serious. "In at most three years, and at least one year, you will definitely be able to cultivate divine abilities! Such progress is shocking to the world!"
Indeed, since Fang Han started cultivating martial arts, his foundation was pitifully thin. But in a short span of nearly a year, he had cultivated to the Divine Transformation realm, approaching the strength of ten horses. If he could still cultivate to the Divine Ability Realm within a year, that would truly be too shocking to the world.
Even Jin Shitai, after cultivating for more than ten years to reach the Divine Transformation realm, suffered delays in making progress, and finally relied on the Yin-Yang Ten Thousand Life Pill to break through the realm. His foundation was a hundred times more vigorous than Fang Han's.
Actually, in the cultivation world, those who could reach the Divine Ability Realm within twenty years were all of excellent aptitude. Reaching it within ten years would mean one was a peerless genius.
The interrogation of himself just now made his spirit much purer and reduced many impurities. This was a kind of excellent cultivation. However, to break through to the Divine Ability Realm, there was still a very difficult path to walk.
"Mm! I originally thought it would take a few more years. Let's not say anymore, let's cultivate properly!"
Fang Han's mind was completely resolute because he felt he had a goal, an unprecedented, supremely grand goal. A future far more majestic than attaining the Dao and becoming an immortal.
As big as the heart is, so are the achievements.
He knew that as long as he walked toward this goal, that would be a magnificent and spectacular life.
"Consume this Blue Fall Great Pill. Oh right! This is for increasing the spirit, so you don't need to swallow it. Crush it, melt it into liquid with water! Drip it on the Heavenly Gate atop your head, and then use your spirit to receive it. It will clear your mind, cleanse your intellect, and condense your will!" Yan sighed.
Fang Han took out the "True Water Talisman", dripped out a drop of water from it, melted the mung-bean-sized Blue Fall Great Pill, and placed it on top of his head. As expected, he felt this pill seem to transform into a stream of jade nectar, seeping into his brain.
His brain felt a gentle heat, extremely comfortable, and again he felt that tipsy sensation. After the time it takes half an incense stick to burn, the tipsiness withdrew, and it was replaced by a sense of heaviness in the spirit within his mind, feeling like a liquid water.
"Mm, this one Blue Fall Great Pill can withstand at least a month of another person's bitter cultivation and the effort of transforming blood qi into spirit. I originally wanted to pass the Dao arts of the Yellow Spring Sect to you, but the Ascension Sect is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. If you cultivate them and your temperament undergoes a change, it will definitely be seen through. So wait until you cultivate to the Divine Ability Realm to find opportunities to cultivate them secretly."
From the Divine Transformation realm to cultivating to the Divine Ability Realm, the gap within was extremely large. It required a massive accumulation to transform the spirit into magic power, a quantitative change leading to a qualitative change, breaking ordinary people's worldview. It was absolutely not an overnight matter. The inner court disciples of the Ascension Sect, including the disciples on the Mountain and River Ranking, were all grinding away.
For this kind of grinding, no magical treasures or spirit weapons were of any use. One could only consume pills, strengthen the physical body, and cultivate the spirit, repeating bitter training day after day.
Just as Fang Han was circulating his spirit and digesting the medicinal efficacy of the Blue Fall Great Pill, a thousand miles away from him, on a tall stone peak, stood a man. This man was surrounded by a great deal of chilling winds. These chilling winds continuously let out bizarre language, seemingly reporting something to this man.
"Is that so? The disciples of the Ascension Sect have already started entering here and begun their cultivation? The Headmaster of the Ascension Sect turned this place into a testing ground, wanting us heavenly demons to gather more and more! But how is this not a chance for us to obtain more flesh and blood! Probably that group of people from the Ascension Sect don't know that the Nine Suns Demonic God has quietly evaded their senses and sent me here! This time, I will make the disciples of the Ascension Sect face total annihilation!"
This man was unexpectedly also a heavenly demon, because his face continuously transformed—sometimes handsome, sometimes ugly, sometimes ordinary. It seemed as if he had a thousand faces, but his body endlessly emanated the aura of blood and soul. Clearly, he had a physical body.
A heavenly demon with a physical body was a Demon King!
It was equivalent to an expert of the Divine Ability Realm!
It could sweep right through any existence without divine abilities! This time, everyone who arrived at the Heavenly Demon Battlefield to participate in the examination from the Ascension Sect were outer court disciples. Although there were some tyrannical ones, it was impossible for there to be experts of the Divine Ability Realm among them.
"Organize yourselves. Learn the human art of war. When encountering experts, do not swarm up all at once. It is best not to act alone. When you encounter thorny disciples, I will personally go and directly kill them," this Demon King said deeply and secretively.
"Yes, Great Majestic Virtuous Demon King."
Countless heavenly demons around this "Great Majestic Virtuous Demon King" continuously shouted out, akin to an emperor supported by tens of thousands of subjects, displaying this Demon King's lofty status and powerful strength.
Swoosh swish, swoosh swish swish…
After the Great Majestic Virtuous Demon King gave the command, the countless heavenly demons beside him flew out like a swarm of locusts, sweeping and dancing. Chilling winds blew in gusts, and there were ghosts crying and gods howling. The crushed stones on this abandoned star were swept up to wildly strike across the sky, falling down like hail. Fortunately, there were no living beings on this star, otherwise, probably more than half would have died.
…
"On this star, a few thousand years ago, I remember there were living beings. But a group of extraterrestrial heavenly demons flew over and ate the living beings completely clean. They even sucked away the spiritual qi of the trees, causing it to become so desolate. Fortunately, they don't eat those heavenly materials, earthly treasures, and mineral ores."
Having absorbed a "Blue Fall Great Pill", Fang Han felt his spirit condense a lot, but his body felt somewhat hungry. It seemed that after every session of cultivation, he would feel hungry. Fortunately, he had ample pills on hand. He took out a Blood Pill to swallow, drank some true water, and closed his eyes to rest his spirit. A quarter of an hour later, he abruptly stood up, his eyes radiating brilliant light, full of spirit and energy.
As he stood up, he heard Yan sighing again.
"Heavenly demons are the great enemies of the world, drifting everywhere in the sky. Wherever they drift, they eat, and wherever they go, devastation meets the eye. All vitality will be sucked away. Such demonic entities that only know plundering and do not know creation, who knows why they exist in this world…"
Fang Han had read the introduction about heavenly demons in "Various Worlds". Now that he had also come into contact with heavenly demons, he finally understood what kind of things this group was.
