"Just who exactly is Your Excellency!"
That Old Ancestor of the Xuanzhong Sect was completely shocked. He was at the Mystic Immortal realm, having cultivated bitterly for many years, nurturing his own kingdom, operating the profound mysteries of the universe, and comprehending the Great Luo. He originally thought that below Golden Immortals he could be considered a figure of note, but now Fang Han had suddenly intruded into his kingdom as if entering an unpopulated land.
Moreover, this was merely a clone of the other party.
This made his heart pound with fear, unable to control himself, thinking that Fang Han was going to lay vicious hands on him and kill him.
However, Fang Han stopped, and his mind settled down slightly.
"I heard all your words just now. What do you think of my cultivation base?" Fang Han sat down cross-legged, his golden body floating uncertainly, streaks of golden textures densely covering his surroundings, displaying the indeterminacy of this body, seemingly real yet illusory; it was a bona fide clone.
"Your Excellency is unfathomable, having already comprehended the wondrous uses of the Great Luo and Golden Immortal laws. You must be a half-step Golden Immortal almighty being, right? With such a cultivation base, why settle down in my small Xuanzhong Sect? My Xuanzhong Sect is a small temple, unable to accommodate a great Bodhisattva like you. Three feet of shallow water cannot contain a true dragon like you."
The old daoist priest calmed his heart and spoke carefully.
"I am injured and was accidentally rescued by a female disciple of your sect. This is your Xuanzhong Sect's opportunity. I now roughly know the strength of the Xuanzhong Sect. Within this Mang Mountain of over three hundred and sixty billion miles, some sects are glaring like a tiger watching its prey at your Xuanzhong Sect. With me around, even if you become the General Alliance Leader of the thousands of cultivation sects in this Mang Mountain, it is not impossible."
Fang Han's voice was extremely seductive.
"General Alliance Leader… The General Alliance Leader is decided by the Heavenly Court. You fundamentally cannot make the decision. Even if you are a true Golden Immortal, it's impossible." This old daoist priest was somewhat tempted, but then shook his head.
"Hmph, wait until I recover my strength, and you will know whether it's possible or not." Fang Han snorted coldly and opened his mouth to spit out a page of a golden book: "I want to open a furnace to refine a King Grade immortal pill. If you assist me in obtaining these medicinal ingredients, I can share some of the Dao of the Golden Immortal with you. On this page of the golden book are the quantities of the medicinal ingredients. I wonder if you have them all complete."
"King Grade immortal pill!"
The old daoist priest was greatly startled: "Share some of the Dao of the Golden Immortal with me, are these words true?"
"Naturally, they are true."
Fang Han's smile of having everything under control was extremely convincing.
"I have some of these materials, but I still lack several rare existences, which can be bought at the market of the Manggou Alliance, but it requires quite a few Yuanshi Pills. The savings of my lifetime, Daoist Xuanzhen, are only enough to refine these."
The old daoist priest, Daoist Xuanzhen, sighed.
"I came to borrow some Yuanshi Pills from you to purchase the remaining medicinal ingredients. If you have them, how about taking them out?" Fang Han stretched out his large hand, golden light flashing: "If you want to share the Golden Immortal laws, you must lend me a helping hand."
"Good! This old daoist will do this matter." Xuanzhenzi gritted his teeth. He knew that for an expert like Fang Han, if he wanted to forcibly break through his kingdom, it wasn't impossible. It was better to cooperate and take a gamble.
While speaking, he opened his mouth and spat out a mass the size of a fist, shaped like an inner core, an extremely condensed mass of Origin Qi. With a scatter, it transformed into tens of thousands of Yuanshi Pills and fell into Fang Han's hands.
"It seems Yuanshi Pills are truly very difficult to accumulate. As a Mystic Immortal expert, your lifespan must be thirty to fifty thousand Immortal Realm years. In such long years, you only accumulated this tiny bit of Yuanshi Pills."
Fang Han shook his head.
"Indeed, my Xuanzhong Sect's family and business are small. With great difficulty we found an underground spirit vein in Mang Mountain, containing a small portion of Origin Qi from the immemorial era. We sealed it up with restrictive formations and built our mountain gate on top of it. Only this made the Origin Qi in the void somewhat thicker. However, this spirit vein will vanish in three to five hundred Immortal Realm years. If we still don't seize a new spirit vein by then, our Xuanzhong Sect will lose its foundation. In the future, disciples will wither more and more, and no one will advance to Heavenly Immortal." Xuanzhenzi said: "If you can help our Xuanzhong Sect seize a large spirit vein, as long as it can last for several thousand Immortal Realm years, that will do."
"This is no hindrance. As long as I recover, I just need to casually slaughter a few sects and plunder their spirit veins."
Fang Han's body moved, golden light flashed, and grasping the Yuanshi Pills, he vanished, fleeing from Daoist Xuanzhen's kingdom. No one knew how he left.
Daoist Xuanzhen shook his head, not even daring to calculate.
In the void space of the Heaven Realm, intense spatial storms roared within, sufficient to tear apart Heavenly Immortals. Even God Immortals wouldn't be able to hold on for long and had to come out, otherwise they would get lost.
However, a mass of golden light traveled through it. No matter how fierce the spatio-temporal storm was, it couldn't shake him in the slightest.
"Senior, what is that?" Seeing that while Fang Han was shuttling through the void, a mass of golden light flew from behind and merged into his body, Chen Yan hurriedly asked.
"It's nothing, just a clone of mine, having a good talk with a senior of your Xuanzhong Sect."
"A senior of our Xuanzhong Sect?" Chen Yan naturally didn't know of Xuanzhen's existence, but she also knew that Fang Han possessed countless secrets on his body that couldn't be inquired about, so she chose to remain silent.
"According to the direction you pointed out, ahead is the largest city of the Manggou Alliance." As Fang Han waved his hand, the spatio-temporal storm immediately began to stabilize. In the real world outside, countless immortal mountains, forests, and even massive plains and lakes appeared, everywhere full of spiritual qi.
In a place surrounded by a full three hundred and sixty-five immortal mountains, there was a plain. On the plain, a majestic city was built. Fang Han could even see that deep underground beneath the plain, there was a mass of a spirit vein tens of millions of miles long, containing extremely thick Origin Qi, sealed layer upon layer by talismans. It was an unknown number of tens of thousands of times larger than the spirit vein of the Xuanzhong Sect.
This was "Mang Ancient City," the largest spirit vein in the Mang Mountain range, which spanned over three hundred and sixty billion miles, and it was the core place where thousands of cultivation sects gathered.
Looking at the ground, Fang Han had an urge to directly extract and refine that spirit vein.
In the secular world, if there were spirit veins, they were just some immortal qi spirit veins; there wouldn't be Origin spirit veins. Just this single Origin spirit vein, I'm afraid it was more precious than some Great Worlds.
But he had heard Daoist Xuanzhen say that the Alliance Leader of this Mang Ancient City was appointed by the "Heavenly Court," so he didn't dare to act rashly.
The "Heavenly Court" was the legendary place where the Creation Immortal King resided.
Fang Han also knew, to use an analogy from the secular world, this Mang Ancient City was just a tiny village to the Heavenly Court, not even counting as a county town. But before he recovered his strength right now, he still couldn't act wantonly.
"Senior, this Mang Ancient City was built by many ancient Mystic Immortals, as well as God Immortals. Outside, there are extremely powerful spatial restrictive formations laid out. Countless immortal arrays, we cannot force our way in."
Chen Yan said anxiously.
"This I naturally know." What kind of cultivation base did Fang Han have? With a sweep of his gaze, he saw that indeed, dense restrictive formations covered the outside of that gigantic city. Even if an ordinary Mystic Immortal entered, they would probably be trapped, and then experts would charge out to kill them.
He soundlessly emerged from the void and brought Chen Yan to the city gate of this grand city.
The city walls were ten thousand zhang high, radiating dazzling light, the ground crystal clear, actually all condensed from pure Yang qi. It was simply a city of pure Yang.
At the city gate, over a hundred cultivators wearing peerless dao artifact armor, all at the True Immortal realm, patrolled back and forth. Leading them was a Heavenly Immortal expert, hovering in mid-air, inspecting the coming and going crowds. Peerless dao artifacts, in the Heaven Realm, much like pure Yang origin qi, were already no longer rare goods.
Because the materials in the Heaven Realm were truly too abundant.
The mud on the ground was all immortal soil. If taking it to the secular world, it would be excellent material for refining pills and cultivating the five elements dao arts, invaluable.
Many, many cultivators, in an endless stream, entered through the city gates; all had to pay a tax. One Yuanshi Pill per person. The fee was extremely expensive, and ordinary True Immortals fundamentally couldn't afford to enter the city.
"Hmm? Isn't this Chen Yan of the Xuanzhong Sect? You actually want to enter this Mang Ancient City today?" The leading Heavenly Immortal suddenly spotted Fang Han and Chen Yan flying from afar. First, a contemptuous smile appeared on his face, but then he jolted, "Chen Yan, you actually cultivated into a Heavenly Immortal!"
"Indeed, I cultivated into a Heavenly Immortal." Looking at this leading Heavenly Immortal, Chen Yan directly sent two Yuanshi Pills flying out, landing in the opponent's hand, and said with pride and elation: "This is the Supreme Grand Elder of our Xuanzhong Sect, who has lived as a hidden cultivator for countless Immortal Realm years, and now has come out to purchase medicinal ingredients and refine pills."
"What? The Supreme Grand Elder of your Xuanzhong Sect? Why have I never heard of him?" Deep suspicion flashed in the eyes of this leading Heavenly Immortal, then he snorted coldly: "Today the city gates are locked down; a big shot is going to descend."
"You! Meng Zhixiao! Just now so many people entered, how come I didn't see you stop them? Are you intentionally trying to trip me up?" Chen Yan said angrily.
"Those people who entered just now were all summoned by the big shot. Your Xuanzhong Sect fundamentally has not entered that big shot's sight!"
Meng Zhixiao spoke unhurriedly: "To tell you the truth, today the big shot coming to Mang Ancient City is the legendary Heavenly Court envoy. His own identity is an absolute peerless genius of a majestic grand sect in the Central State, the Yuhua Sect. The big shots of our Manggou Alliance are all inside receiving this peerless genius envoy. You guys just wait at the city gate."
"You! Even if the Heavenly Court envoy arrives, Mang Ancient City still conducts business. We just want to enter Mang Ancient City to purchase medicinal ingredients." Chen Yan said.
"Ten Yuanshi Pills." This Heavenly Immortal captain, Meng Zhixiao, stretched out his hand.
"What? You are robbing." Chen Yan was furious, turning back to look at Fang Han.
Fang Han, however, had a calm expression. He walked forward, his gaze flashing, and immediately this captain Meng Zhixiao felt an oppressive aura rushing towards his face. Deep in his heart, he actually had a suffocating feeling. But he fiercely jumped away, "What do you want to do?"
Fang Han flicked a finger, and ten Yuanshi Pills fell into his hands. Then he said with a hoarse voice: "Let's go, enter the city."
This Heavenly Immortal captain watched, actually not daring to block them, obediently opening up the restrictive formation.
"Senior…" Once inside the city, Chen Yan immediately opened her mouth.
"Hmph, a mere Heavenly Immortal, actually daring to block me. I have already planted an immense immemorial secret curse on his body. Once I recover my strength, I will go and extinct his sect. His sect's spirit vein will be handed over to your Xuanzhong Sect to own."
Fang Han said casually, a smile appearing on his face: "Yuhua Sect, a majestic grand sect of the Central State! It seems the forces of the Yuhua Sect in the Heaven Realm are not small…"
