Cultivating To Immortality

Fang Hong returned to the Turtle Demon's massive corpse and began collecting its demon blood.

This Turtle Demon was a demonic beast with both water and earth attributes, and its blood could also be used to strengthen the Four Symbols Formation.

After collecting the demon blood, Fang Hong used his magic power to remove a portion of its turtle shell, which was a top-grade Material for artifact refining and could not be wasted.

After completing all this, Fang Hong then fed its massive corpse to his demon gourd, refining it once again into a ninth-grade spirit pill.

Fang Hong flew high into the sky, overlooking the desolate island below and the surrounding sea.

He flipped his palm, activated his magic power, and began to retrieve the formation flags he had set up around the island one by one.

The surface of the formation flags was dim and lusterless, and several were even damaged, clearly making them unusable.

Fang Hong sighed inwardly, realizing that these formation flags would have to be re-refined once he returned.

After completing all this, Fang Hong's figure shifted, transforming into a streak of light and leaving the desolate island, flying once again towards the Turtle Demon's lair, where he intended to thoroughly scavenge.

Not long after, Fang Hong successfully found the Immortal Cave where the Turtle Demon resided; these great Demonic were very skilled at choosing locations.

The Immortal Cave was hidden within a mountain range, where spiritual energy gathered, and the environment was beautiful and tranquil. Especially in the depths of the Immortal Cave, there was even a naturally formed spiritual spring.

The concentration of spiritual energy was comparable to the source of a spiritual vein, making it a true Cultivation treasure land.

Fang Hong took his time, meticulously searching every corner of the Immortal Cave. In the end, he collected a total of over fifty thousand low-grade spirit stoness, four low-tier spiritual artifacts, and a pile of underwater artifact refining materials.

Although these materials were not as precious and rare as Azure spirit stones or Golden Origin Sand, they were still excellent materials, especially suitable for refining formation Artifacts.

If utilized properly, they could significantly enhance the power of formation Artifacts.

After confirming there was nothing left behind, Fang Hong resolutely left the Turtle Demon's Immortal Cave.

Fang Hong went to a sea area near the Turtle Demon's Immortal Cave, searching for a small, desolate island rarely visited by mortals to use as a foothold.

This area was originally the Turtle Demon's territory. Within the jurisdiction of such a great Demonic, ordinary demonic beasts dared not approach, let alone cause trouble.

Therefore, establishing a temporary Immortal Cave nearby was safer and more secluded than other places.

Fang Hong waved his hand and cast a spell. In a short while, he opened up a simple but practical and complete Immortal Cave on the island.

He then set up a Hidden Mountain Formation, cleverly concealing the Immortal Cave's entrance. To outsiders, it would appear to be just an ordinary small island, with nothing out of the ordinary.

After setting up the defensive measures, Fang Hong walked into the Artifact Refining Room and released the sealed Turtle Demon's soul from the jade bottle.

As soon as the Turtle Demon's soul appeared, it roared and bellowed, constantly cursing Fang Hong.

No matter how it roared and screamed, Fang Hong ignored it, took out seven silver needles, and immediately began to read its soul.

The Turtle Demon's soul resisted quite fiercely, possessing a strong will, making the soul-reading process far more difficult than with ordinary Demonic creatures.

Fang Hong spent three days and three nights, continuously driving his Divine Sense, finally managing to read most of its memories.

During this soul-reading, Fang Hong obtained two more valuable pieces of information.

In the Turtle Demon's memory, it knew of two hidden lairs of great Demonic, belonging to a ninth-grade Eight-Armed Beast and a ninth-grade Azure Whale, respectively.

From their names, it was easy to see that these two demonic beasts were both royal bloodlines within the demon race, holding esteemed positions and possessing astonishing strength, not inferior to the Golden-winged Bird.

If Fang Hong were to truly slay these two great Demonic, it would be equivalent to simultaneously offending two great Demonic Kings.

For an ordinary cultivator, this would be akin to seeking death and inviting trouble.

However, there was no trace of fear in Fang Hong's eyes; instead, a strong battle intent emerged. He was not afraid of offending any number of Demonic Kings.

As early as when he stepped onto Demon Subduing Island, Fang Hong had already decided that one day he would slay all four great Demonic Kings, refine them into spirit pills, and aid his Cultivation.

Besides the information about the two Demonic lairs, Fang Hong also obtained a "Turtle Breathing Secret Technique" from the Turtle Demon's memories, an ancestral secret technique of the Turtle Demon race.

The Turtle Breathing Secret Technique was somewhat similar to human breath-concealing spells, but the Turtle Breathing Secret Technique was far more profound.

When used, it could also significantly increase the efficiency of true Qi utilization, thereby conserving magic power and enhancing sustained combat ability.

More importantly, if this technique was Cultivated to Great Success, it could even change one's own Qi attribute, making it difficult for others to detect one's identity through Divine Sense.

This point could be quite useful in certain special situations.

Fang Hong was quite interested in this secret technique.

His own magic power was already robust enough. If he were to cultivate this secret technique to improve true Qi utilization efficiency, his sustained combat ability would be even stronger, and he could conceal his tracks in moments of crisis, truly like adding wings to a tiger.

Fang Hong no longer hesitated. He sealed the Turtle Demon's soul back into the jade bottle and began to meditate on the Turtle Breathing Secret Technique with his eyes closed.

Three days later, Fang Hong emerged from the Immortal Cave.

At this moment, there was no magic power overflowing from his body; he looked just like a mortal.

That was because Fang Hong had used the Turtle Breathing Secret Technique to effectively control his entire aura.

If he were to walk on the streets of Four Seas City, it is estimated that no one would recognize him as a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

The Turtle Breathing Secret Technique didn't matter whether it was used normally or not, but now that he was in the Outer Sea and hunting high-grade great Demonic, it still had a considerable use.

Fang Hong removed the Hidden Mountain Formation he had set up outside the Immortal Cave, his figure leaped, soaring into the sky, transforming into a streak of light and rapidly flying towards the northwest.

He was now going to hunt his next target, that ninth-grade Azure Whale.

…

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and Fang Hong arrived at a desolate and secluded small island.

This small island was located in a hidden spot. According to the Turtle Demon's memory, this island was only about a hundred li from the Azure Whale's lair.

Fang Hong planned to use the same method he used against the Turtle Demon last time: first, set up layers of formations on the island, then find a way to lure the Azure Whale over and hunt it down in one fell swoop.

Although this method was slightly troublesome, it had the advantage of being stable and prevented him from falling into a disadvantageous position.

Rumble. Rumble.

Just as Fang Hong was about to set up the formation, he suddenly sensed intense spiritual power fluctuations coming from a hundred li away with his Divine Sense, indicating a fierce battle was taking place.

Fang Hong was slightly surprised. The direction of the battle was towards the Azure Whale's lair. Could the Azure Whale be fighting someone?

Seeing this, Fang Hong immediately used the Turtle Breathing Secret Technique to control his entire aura, then submerged into the sea, stealthily approaching the Azure Whale's lair, intending to investigate.

If the Azure Whale was indeed fighting someone, perhaps he could reap the benefits of their struggle.

Before long, Fang Hong had quietly arrived at an inconspicuous small island, less than ten li from the Azure Whale's lair.

He hid behind a huge reef, cautiously peeking his head out to get a clear view of the surroundings.

The Azure Whale was indeed fighting someone, but its opponent should not be a human cultivator; it should also be a ninth-grade great Demonic.

The Azure Whale had not transformed into its true form at this moment. It still maintained a human appearance, wearing a green robe, looking like a middle-aged man, with a thick green Demonic Qi emanating from its entire body, exuding an imposing aura.

And the Azure Whale's opponent was a middle-aged man in red.

This man was tall and strangely shaped, actually having four arms, with rolling red flames emanating from his entire body, looking incredibly ferocious.

Fang Hong's gaze narrowed slightly. Based on its form and aura, the red-robed middle-aged man's true form should be a ninth-grade Eight-Armed Beast, also a royal bloodline of the sea.
