Cultivating To Immortality

Zhao Yongxiu's old face grew even gloomier when he didn't hear a reply from Fang Hong.

A mere Core Formation Stage junior actually dared to despise him like this?

If Lin Yi hadn't been present, he probably would have erupted and torn Fang Hong to pieces.

Fang Hong's expression was calm. He felt a chilling coldness and knew without guessing that it must have been emitted by Zhao Yongxiu.

Fang Hong wasn't overly worried; as long as he successfully advanced to Nascent Soul, offending Zhao Yongxiu was nothing.

At this moment, Fang Hong felt another strange gaze. He looked up and saw that the Level 8 Golden-winged Bird was also staring at him with ill intent.

Fang Hong smiled bitterly in his heart. It seemed this Golden-winged Bird hadn't been able to eat him in the desert and had been holding a grudge.

Another day passed, and space rippled again. The transmission light reappeared, and three more figures were sent into the great hall.

Among these three, the first two were disciples from the Ten Thousand Talisman Sect and the Shadow Demon Island, both at the Late stage of Golden Core of cultivation. The third person was Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu looked a bit disheveled at the moment, covered in dust and dirt, clearly having experienced many hardships and suffered greatly in the first two layers.

As soon as she saw Lin Yi, she quickly walked over to him.

Lin Yi looked at her with concern and asked, "Xiao Yu, are you not hurt?"

"I'm fine, Uncle Lin. It's just that my Magic Power consumption was a bit high. I'll be fine after I recover," Xiao Yu smiled slightly.

After speaking, she walked towards Fang Hong and greeted him with a smile, "Brother Fang, it truly is you! You arrived here so quickly! You wouldn't believe what I encountered in the first two layers; it was simply."

Afterward, Xiao Yu sat beside Fang Hong and shared her experiences from the first two layers, while Fang Hong listened quietly, occasionally smiling, finding it interesting.

It turned out that in the second layer, Xiao Yu was teleported into an ancient forest filled with Vicious Beasts and various demonic beasts, where she was chased relentlessly.

The third layer was even more difficult; she was teleported into a desolate space.

It was a barren, lifeless wasteland, yet it concealed various ferocious and bloodthirsty wild beasts. Without a doubt, she was once again relentlessly pursued.

If she hadn't carried many life-saving Spiritual Treasures, she probably would have died in there long ago.

Time flew by, and another three full days passed.

Since Xiao Yu and the other two were teleported in, no new cultivators had entered the fourth layer's entrance.

This was understandable; after all, not everyone could be like Fang Hong and Xiao Yu, possessing great strength or many treasures.

For ordinary cultivators, even those at Nascent Soul Peak, it was not guaranteed they could pass through the first three layers of the Dragon Palace.

Boom.

Suddenly, a thunderous sound exploded above the great hall, and a brilliant golden light pillar descended directly from the sky, landing on the formation platform in the middle of the great hall.

Seeing this, the Everyone stood up from the steps and looked at the golden light pillar. Xiao Yu said seriously, "The passage to the fourth layer of the Dragon Palace has opened."

Fang Hong also became serious. If he encountered any danger inside, he would just run away.

After the golden light pillar completely stabilized, the three great demonic beasts present actually leaped into it first, their movements decisive and swift.

"Let's go too."

Elder Lin Yi no longer hesitated, immediately activating his powerful Magic Power to envelop Xiao Yu and Fang Hong, then leaping into the golden light pillar.

Closely following, Zhao Yongxiu and Elder Lu Qi also led their respective disciples into the light pillar.

The moment the last person stepped in, the golden light pillar vanished without a trace.

In a flash, Fang Hong was teleported to the fourth layer of the Dragon Palace.

He looked around and saw that this place was an incredibly vast open-air great hall, astonishingly expansive.

The entire great hall was enormous, thousands of feet wide, with walls made entirely of light blue crystals, and a gloomy sky.

In the middle of the great hall stood two massive alchemy furnaces, and next to them was an ancient teleportation formation, flickering with red light, which should be the exit from the Dragon Palace.

When Fang Hong saw the alchemy furnaces, his pupils constricted, because these two alchemy furnaces were truly enormous, about twenty to thirty feet in height and width.

The two alchemy furnaces were very similar in appearance, both with an ancient three-legged structure.

But what was different was that one was enveloped by a golden light shield, crystal clear, while the other was surrounded by a layer of strange black flames.

"It's this black flame again." Fang Hong was slightly startled, a trace of fear flashing in his eyes.

"Isn't this the black flame that enveloped the giant cauldron in the ancient treasure house before?"

"Those are the two alchemy furnaces of the fourth layer. Legend has it that this was where the Dragon God performed alchemy, and after the Dragon God left, he left behind quite a few spirit pills inside," Lin Yi explained, his gaze sweeping over the alchemy furnaces.

"What is that black flame?" Fang Hong couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Hehe, never get close to that black flame. It's called 'Nirvana Demonic Fire,' also known as the Fire of Death."

"Even a Nascent Soul Peak cultivator, if stained by a single wisp, will instantly turn to ashes, and even their Nascent Soul will be unable to escape," Lin Yi warned seriously.

Hearing this, Fang Hong gasped, his heart growing even more astonished.

Even Nascent Soul Peak cultivators couldn't resist it. This Nirvana Demonic Fire was indeed terrifying.

Xiao Yu frowned and asked doubtfully, "Since the Demonic Fire is so terrifying, how are we supposed to obtain the spirit pills inside?"

Lin Yi gave a wry smile and shook his head, "Don't even think about that black flame alchemy furnace. In these past few millennia, no one has dared to covet it. We can only try to open the alchemy furnace with the golden light shield and obtain spirit pills from it."

Upon hearing this, Fang Hong's heart began to stir. Others might fear this Nirvana Demonic Fire, but his Little Rainbow wasn't afraid; she could even devour the Demonic Fire raw.

If Little Rainbow could swallow the Demonic Fire on it, perhaps he could get an entire alchemy furnace.

At this moment, a strong greed arose in Fang Hong's heart, wanting to monopolize this alchemy furnace. However, with so many experts present, he didn't really want to expose Little Rainbow's secret.

At this moment, Elder Elder Lu Qi of the Ten Thousand Talisman Sect stepped forward and said in a deep voice to Lin Yi, "Brother Lin, according to the usual rules, let's work together to break the alchemy furnace's restriction."

However, before Lin Yi could respond, Zhao Yongxiu of Shadow Demon Island snorted coldly, his tone indifferent.

"Hmph. Before breaking the restriction, let's first think about how to deal with those few great demonic beasts."

Boom.

The Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, only to see Demonic Qi churning in the sky above the great hall. Three great demonic beasts stood suspended, their eyes fierce as they looked down at the Human Race cultivators below, full of Killing Intent.

"They can actually fly?" Fang Hong was slightly surprised.

Lin Yi explained, "The fourth layer of the Dragon Palace is different from the previous layers. There are no flight restrictions here; any cultivator or demon race member can fly freely."

"Everyone, let's first work together to deal with these three great demonic beasts. The matter of the spirit pills can be discussed later."

The battle between the Human Race cultivators and the three great demonic beasts was about to erupt.
