"What is going on here? Inside the Tianwu Storehouse, it is fundamentally impossible to absorb any essence qi. And the World Tree's speed in absorbing essence qi was truly too weak, but now it has increased ten million times. Moreover, what it is absorbing is liquid Immortal Realm essence qi." Fang Han was taken aback.
At this moment, the "World Tree" within his cave heaven emitted a brilliant light. Highly condensed Immortal Realm essence qi poured out from it like a flood, turning the entire cave heaven into a liquid ocean.
Within his perception, the sapling of the World Tree had established communication with a certain unseen existence within the Tianwu Storehouse. Fang Han sensed with all his might, and then he saw it. In a deep, vast dimension of space and time, there appeared to be a gigantic key to opening the gate of the Immortal Realm. Through the gate, rolling liquid Immortal Realm essence qi descended.
This liquid Immortal Realm essence qi passed through this gigantic key, and a portion was then transmitted into the World Tree before entering Fang Han's body's cave heaven. The inhalation and exhalation volume of this essence qi was far stronger than what Fang Han could absorb on his own.
An expert of the Ten Thousand Years Realm could condense one hundred Pure Yang Pills from the Immortal Realm essence qi absorbed in a day. An Undying Body expert could condense from one thousand to several thousand. As for a powerhouse of the Cave Heaven Realm, it would be tens of thousands to a hundred thousand. Currently, Fang Han was several times more formidable than an ordinary Cave Heaven Realm cultivator, reaching a terrifying figure of five hundred thousand.
But right now, based on the liquid Immortal Realm essence qi transmitted through the World Tree, Fang Han felt that it was over a hundred times his own inhalation and exhalation volume. The number of Pure Yang Pills that could be condensed every day reached a terrifying fifty million.
This kind of capacity to inhale and exhale essence qi was probably a means only possessed by a powerhouse of the Heavenly Position Realm.
That is to say, right now, Fang Han would absolutely not lack essence qi. His combat power inside the Tianwu Storehouse was far more ferocious than outside. Utilizing various Three Thousand Great Daos and brutal fist techniques, he could unleash maximum power. If he could cultivate bitterly in this Tianwu Storehouse, he would certainly progress at a rapid pace, reaching an inconceivable realm.
"Desolate God Key? My World Tree is actually able to communicate with the Desolate God Key? The central pivot of the Tianwu Storehouse? It seems that my deductions were not wrong in the slightest." Fang Han's heart jolted.
He had always suspected that the Desolate God Key was likely a part of the World Tree, and now, it was nine out of ten times confirming the thoughts in his mind. If that were the case, he would gain a great deal of advantage in securing treasures within the treasure storehouse, and even grasping the great power to control the entire treasure storehouse.
"Fang Han, why are you able to absorb Immortal Realm essence qi, and moreover, liquid-state Immortal Realm essence qi? This is an ability only Chaos Hole Realm experts possess." The Human Emperor Pen shuddered, seeming to have discovered the activity inside Fang Han.
"By the way, Senior, you should be very familiar with the World Tree? The central pivot of the Tianwu Storehouse, the Desolate God Key, could also be the trunk of the World Tree, refined into a magical treasure by Immortal Venerable Panwu so that it could absorb Immortal Realm essence qi. It can even absorb the Protoss." Fang Han told the Human Emperor Pen what he felt and the doubts in his heart.
"Correct! The Desolate God Key is the World Tree. During the years when the Three Emperors existed, the World Tree also existed. I saw with my own eyes the Saint King of Genesis of the Protoss take action, using a Genesis Divine Artifact, an unnamed giant axe, to chop it down, causing it to lose all its spiritual qi and completely eliminating the threat to the Protoss. But the main trunk of the giant tree was taken away by the Saint King of Genesis to construct the Void Divine Realm. Some fragments, however, scattered across heaven and earth. The most core piece was a foundational fragment, which you obtained and washed with the Green Emperor Wood King Skill of the Great Five Elements Spell, stimulating its vitality." The Human Emperor Pen said, a trace of joy appearing on its face, "If this is the case, then this Tianwu Storehouse truly might have a destiny with you."
"So you are saying, only this World Tree of mine is unique, and all other World Tree fragments cannot be refined into saplings?" Fang Han said joyfully.
"Correct. The fragment you obtained is the foundation of the tree, the part that harbors vitality. For some unknown reason, under the Genesis Divine Artifact giant axe of the Protoss Saint King of Genesis, why could this foundational fragment still harbor vitality? I do not know either. However, from this, it can be seen that you are someone with heavenly great fortune." The Human Emperor Pen seemed to fall into reminiscence: "Now your essence qi inhalation and exhalation volume is equivalent to the sixth level of the Longevity Secret Realm, the peak of the Heavenly Position Realm. But the quality of your essence qi is liquid state, which, on the other hand, is an ability only Chaos Hole Realm experts possess. It is precisely because Chaos Hole Realm experts absorb liquid-state immortal qi and possess a colossal inhalation and exhalation volume that they can fully deploy Peerless Dao Artifacts. What a pity, with this World Tree of yours, if you can find more fragments, not to mention one Peerless Dao Artifact, even five or six could be deployed."
"Is that so? I was just about to plan out gathering the Five Elements Peerless Dao Artifacts completely to refine my Great Five Elements Spell."
In his mind, Fang Han had already conceptualized a beautiful picture, thoroughly refining Immortal Venerable Panwu's five Peerless Dao Artifacts into his own magical treasures. When taking action like that, suppressing enemies, what a wondrous thing it would be?
However, with his current mana, he could not mobilize even a single Peerless Dao Artifact. Let alone five Peerless Dao Artifacts; he would be utterly drained empty before he could twitch even one.
Even though Fang Qingxue possessed the City of Violent Thunder now, she could not unleash the explosive power of the Immortal Ancient Thunder Cannon.
If she could continuously and unceasingly fire the Ancient Thunder Cannon in succession, even an expert of the World King Realm would have to run far away, evading its sharp edge. However, every time the Immortal Ancient Thunder Cannon was fired, it would consume a minimum of ten billion Pure Yang Pills. To bombard continuously, unless one were a true immortal, it could not be done.
As they spoke, Fang Han fiercely transferred essence qi to Fang Qingxue and Feng Yaoguang's bodies, using the immortal qi to communicate with them: "Senior Sister Qingxue, Senior Sister Yaoguang, I can absorb liquid immortal qi, and I am transferring a portion to you now. You do not need to worry about mana consumption. That Hua Tiandu thinks we will have excessive consumption, not knowing that I possess such a miraculous wondrous utility. This time, I will make him die without a burial place."
"The location of the Common People Great Seal is right ahead. I wonder what kind of treasure storehouse it is." Out of nowhere, the Seventh Princess of the Qingqiu Mountain Fox Race spoke, and subsequently, she too felt the pure liquid Immortal Realm essence qi descending. Uncontrollably, she rejoiced: "Fang Han, you truly are an existence with great fortune, to be able to obtain benefits even here. It seems our Fox Race collaborating with you has taken a heaven-sized advantage."
"That is nothing much. As long as you assist me in obtaining the Desolate God Key, it will do." Fang Han wore a solemn expression, assessing the surrounding environment.
Flying within the Tianwu Storehouse was very strenuous. Chaotic chi permeated everywhere. There was no place to set foot whatsoever; one could only constantly consume mana to remain in the air without pause.
Moreover, the obstruction of the chaotic chi was immense, as if a person were shuttling through mercury. It was ten thousand times more difficult than normal flying through the stars. Various inverted dimensions of space had to be dissected one by one, discarding the false to retain the true.
All of a sudden, within the chaotic chi before their eyes, a square-shaped palace appeared again. The palace was extremely desolate. On those steps, moss was spreading out. It seemed to have been deserted for a long time.
"The aura of the Common People Great Seal is inside this palace." The Seventh Princess said, the compass needle in her hand pointing resolutely at that square palace.
"Senior Human Emperor Pen, let us go in together."
Fang Han closed his eyes and pondered deeply for a moment.
"Someone is coming." The Human Emperor Pen did not move, but merely looked ahead. Sure enough, amidst that boundless chaotic chi, a white shadow came flying over, landing upon the steps of the square palace. This white shadow was dressed in Confucian robes, exuding an elegant temperament. Yet deep within his aura, there possessed a domineering Demonic Lord aura that dictated heaven and earth as his domain.
"Xiantian Great Emperor, Ying Xiantian."
Feng Yaoguang blurted out.
This man was shockingly the number one expert of the Demonic Dao in the Xuanhuang Great World, the Great Emperor of the Xiantian Demonic Sect, Ying Xiantian. A peerless powerhouse at the sixth level of the Longevity Secret Realm, the peak of the Heavenly Position Realm.
"It is you? Fang Han, Feng Yaoguang, Fang Qingxue? And there are others." The Xiantian Great Emperor also immediately noticed Fang Han and his group, scanning over them one by one. "People of the Yuhua Sect have also come. By logic, the person who came from the Yuhua Sect should be Hua Tiandu, why is it you? Fang Han, your shadow truly is everywhere you turn…"
This number one expert of the Demonic Dao suddenly ceased speaking in astonishment, because he saw the Human Emperor Pen.
"Hmm? A successor of the Xiantian Great Dao? The cultivation method of the ancient Patriarch Xiantian. To think that Patriarch Xiantian actually left behind an orthodoxy, truly a rarity. In those years, Patriarch Xiantian disrupted the Human Dao and nearly shook the foundation of the Human Emperor. After he was slain by the Human Emperor, his orthodoxy entirely dissipated. To think you managed to inherit it."
The Human Emperor Pen looked at Ying Xiantian coldly.
"Human Emperor Pen! One with heaven and earth, the realm of a Genesis Divine Artifact!" Ying Xiantian looked at the Human Emperor Pen icily, his entire body giving off a burst of gloomy and cold aura. In an instant, it was as if he had become a different person, his entire physical form becoming confused and hazy.
"The Xiantian Great Dao is not one of the Three Thousand Great Daos, but it is likely an extremely formidable ancient divine ability as well. To actually be able to rival the Human Emperor is formidable. No wonder the Xiantian Great Emperor is the number one person in the Demonic Dao." Fang Han's heart stirred, and he suddenly stepped forward: "Xiantian Great Emperor, to think you actually came to the Tianwu Storehouse to hunt for treasures this time. It seems you also know many secrets of the treasure storehouse, taking advantage of the weakened power of the spatial and temporal tidal waves to enter. How about this, I know of the challenge between you and Su Xiuyi. Su Xiuyi is my enemy, and I want to kill him. I have a principle: the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Therefore, you are my friend. The previous grudges between you and Senior Human Emperor Pen should be put aside first. What do you say we cooperate?"
"Friend?" The Xiantian Great Emperor laughed loudly: "I, Ying Xiantian, have roamed the Demonic Dao for thousands of years. Since the time Yellow Springs Great Emperor died, I have been the number one person in the Demonic Dao. No one has ever challenged my majesty. Now, I am actually to be friends with a junior of the righteous path. Join forces with each other? I, Ying Xiantian, have always come and gone alone. Within this Tianwu Storehouse, it is extremely dangerous. You and I, one immortal, one demon, both came for benefits. Finding friends and joining forces, such matters are better mentioned less, lest one gets backstabbed with a knife from behind. You junior, have your backstabbing deeds been few?"
