Cultivating To Immortality

The stone tablet was over a thousand zhang tall, piercing the sky, magnificent and spectacular, with faint golden ancient characters that flickered from time to time.

Not far from the stone tablet, there were two separate Teleportation formations, one blue and one red, seemingly leading to different destinations.

At this moment, four cultivators had already gathered in front of the stone tablet. Their aura was not weak; they were all Late stage of Golden Core cultivators. They looked up at the stone tablet, their expressions somewhat excited.

"That black stone tablet is the reward for passing the first level," Xiao Yu said, pointing at the stone tablet, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"Reward? Could it be that the cultivation technique is hidden in this stone tablet? Do we have to comprehend it ourselves?" Fang Hong asked curiously.

"The cultivation technique is indeed hidden within the tablet, but it shouldn't require comprehension."

Xiao Yu shook her head and explained, "I heard a Senior from the sect mention that one only needs to place their hand on the stone tablet to have a chance to obtain the cultivation technique within. Moreover, each person only gets one chance."

"A chance? Is it not a hundred percent guarantee to obtain the cultivation technique?" Fang Hong asked with a look of surprise.

"Yes, it's indeed only a chance," Xiao Yu nodded.

"Not everyone can receive the cultivation technique reward; only those fated ones recognized by the stone tablet are qualified to obtain it."

"Then how do we determine if we are one of these so-called fated ones?" Fang Hong's face showed confusion.

"There isn't any specific criterion for judgment."

Xiao Yu shook her head slightly, "Some people say it's judged by Spiritual Root talent, while others say it's judged by cultivation and age. There's no unified conclusion."

"In that case, it's all up to individual opportunity," Fang Hong smiled. Afterwards, he and Xiao Yu walked towards the stone tablet, feeling a slight sense of anticipation.

At this moment, in front of the stone tablet, an old man in a gray robe stood there.

His expression was focused as he pressed his right hand onto the surface of the stone tablet, attempting to trigger a reaction from within the tablet to obtain the cultivation technique inheritance.

However, as time passed, the stone tablet remained silently in place, without any violent reaction.

This situation meant that the gray-robed old man was not a fated person and had no connection with the cultivation technique reward.

The gray-robed old man frowned, his face full of unwillingness. He still didn't give up, continuing to press his hand on the stone tablet, trying to move it.

However, no matter how hard he tried, the stone tablet remained motionless.

Finally, the gray-robed old man could only sigh and turn to walk towards the Teleportation formation that glowed blue. His figure slowly disappeared in the light, leaving this space.

Immediately after, the other three cultivators also stepped forward one by one, placing their hands on the stone tablet, hoping to obtain the cultivation technique.

But unfortunately, their results were the same as the gray-robed old man; the stone tablet remained unresponsive, and they could only curse and leave in the end.

At this moment, Fang Hong and Xiao Yu exchanged glances, then walked to the stone tablet. Xiao Yu was the first to act, placing her palm on the stone tablet.

Whoosh!

A moment later, the previously silent giant stone tablet finally began to stir, with streaks of golden light appearing on its surface.

Immediately, a brilliant golden light orb slowly drifted down from the top of the stone tablet, finally settling steadily into Xiao Yu's palm.

"Haha, it seems I'm also a fated person and have received the cultivation technique reward." Xiao Yu said happily, holding the light orb.

Afterwards, she absorbed the light orb into her sea ​​of ​​consciousness. Once she refined it back, she would know what cultivation technique it was.

Next, it was Fang Hong's turn. He also placed his hand on the stone tablet.

In just a few breaths, the stone tablet began to react. Similarly, a golden light orb drifted down from above and landed in his hand.

"That's great. Brother Fang, you also got a cultivation technique." Xiao Yu was genuinely happy for Fang Hong.

Fang Hong smiled slightly and nodded.

He activated his Divine Sense and gently swept over the surface of the light orb, detecting a layer of restriction on it. He estimated it would take some time to refine it before he could know what cultivation technique it was.

Thus, Fang Hong absorbed the light orb into his sea ​​of ​​consciousness at his glabella. It wouldn't be too late to refine it after he left.

The Dragon Palace had a limited opening time; one could only stay inside for a month. Therefore, it was best to seize the time now and look for other Opportunities first.

"What's the difference between these two Teleportation formations?" Fang Hong walked to the two formations not far away and asked Xiao Yu in confusion.

"The blue Teleportation formation is the passage to the second level of the Dragon Palace, which is a new trial space," Xiao Yu explained.

"And that red Teleportation formation is the exit to leave the Dragon Palace and return to the outside world."

"I see. Do you still want to continue exploring the second level?"

"Of course."

Xiao Yu nodded without hesitation, her eyes firm.

"The Dragon Palace only opens once every five hundred years. How can such a precious opportunity be easily given up? I must continue to explore deeper and see if I can obtain more treasures or inheritance."

Fang Hong said no more after hearing this. The two of them stepped into the blue teleportation formation together without hesitation.

Spiritual light flashed under their feet, and a blue light rose, instantly enveloping the two. Their figures then disappeared from the stone tablet space.

Enveloped in the light, Fang Hong only felt a vast whiteness before his eyes, his vision completely obscured.

After a few breaths, the light slowly faded, and his vision gradually became clear.

However, the next moment, a wave of scorching Qi rushed towards him, like flames burning his body, causing his heart to tremble involuntarily.

Fang Hong quickly looked around, and what greeted his eyes was a vast, boundless desert, surrounded by undulating golden-yellow sand dunes.

There was no vegetation in this desert, not even a single blade of grass. The air was filled with a dry and scorching aura, and Xiao Yu was no longer by his side.

"It seems Xiao Yu was teleported to another space."

Fang Hong looked up at the sky, only to see a giant scorching sun hanging high in the sky, several times larger than the sun outside, constantly emitting overwhelming heat waves.

Because of this, the temperature here was unusually hot, and the scorching Qi continuously consumed the magical power within his body.

Fang Hong immediately judged the space he was currently in. Xiao Yu had mentioned it to him; it was called "Underworld Desert."

This was the most dangerous area in the second level space. Not only was the climate harsh, but there were also a large number of dangerous sand demons lurking in the sand, ready to attack at any time, making it much more dangerous than the first level.

Seeing the desert, Fang Hong was reminded of his time in Evergreen Blessed Herb Garden. He patted his storage bag and took out a four-wheeled vehicle.

This four-wheeled vehicle was a spiritual tool he had acquired by killing a cultivator from Zhao. He usually had no use for it, but now that he couldn't fly through the air and the desert was a wide-open terrain, it was perfect for traveling.

Fang Hong took out two Mid-Grade Spirit Stones and placed them into the vehicle's spirit stone slot. The spiritual power was quickly activated, and the talisman began to operate.

Then, Fang Hong got into the vehicle, stepped on the accelerator, and sped forward.

With this vehicle, traveling was much more convenient.

While driving the vehicle, Fang Hong held a spirit stone, maintaining the magical power in his body from being consumed by the heat, to avoid any sudden dangers.
