Cultivating To Immortality

The golden light bamboo, the mist, and the small tree were the spiritual treasures refined from these three spiritual artifacts. Although they were not as spiritual as the Dragon Suppressing Cauldron's spiritual treasure, they had already far surpassed the spiritual artifact rank.

"Good. Very good. Hahaha."

Fang Hong couldn't help but burst into laughter, his joy evident.

He immediately put the three spiritual treasures back into his body and nourished them with his Nascent Soul power.

With these three spiritual treasures by his side, Fang Hong felt a surge of confidence, and his strength had increased significantly.

Although he didn't know how he compared to Divine Transformation cultivators, he could now act with impunity within the Nascent Soul Realm.

In addition to the three spiritual treasures, Fang Hong also took advantage of this seclusion to re-refine a brand new Four Symbols Formation.

This new Four Symbols Formation was refined using rank ten demon blood, and its power was strong enough to sweep aside Nascent Soul Peak cultivators.

Fang Hong stood up and walked out of his Immortal Cave with Little Rainbow.

He was now at the Nascent Soul Peak, and his physical body and Divine Sense had long since reached the Nascent Soul Peak, so it was time to prepare for his breakthrough to Divine Transformation.

Fang Hong was still relatively vague about the Divine Transformation realm, as he had never seen a Divine Transformation cultivator appear and didn't know what rank it was.

Moreover, his cultivation technique, "Essence Emperor Art," had already been successfully cultivated to the ninth rank of perfection, reaching its limit again, with no records of cultivation technique levels beyond Divine Transformation.

According to Fang Hong's understanding from years of cultivation, to breakthrough a major realm, simply relying on diligent cultivation was far from enough.

There must be a corresponding cultivation technique to guide it, as well as sufficient cultivation resources to support it; neither could be lacking.

Regarding resources, Fang Hong wasn't too worried, as he possessed the heaven-defying treasure of the demon gourd.

The Azure Wave Sea was vast and boundless, with a large number of Demon Beasts in its waters. As long as he spent some time, he could accumulate enough resources for his cultivation.

Therefore, the most crucial task at hand was to accumulate a large amount of resources, and at the same time, quickly find a cultivation technique suitable for the Divine Transformation Stage.

As long as he successfully obtained the cultivation technique, clarified the levels and key points of the Divine Transformation realm, he could then use the resources at hand to attempt a breakthrough to Divine Transformation and step into a higher realm.

Fang Hong pondered for a moment and finally decided to return to the Four Seas Sect in the Inner Sea first.

Since he had been promoted to a Guest Elder of the Four Seas Sect, he had not truly examined the sect's cultivation technique library.

The Four Seas Sect had a deep foundation and vast power in the Inner Sea. As one of the top sects in the Inner Sea, the number of cultivation techniques collected in the sect must be extremely large, and perhaps there would be a Divine Transformation Stage cultivation technique he needed.

With his decision made, Fang Hong rose into the air, his figure moving through the area around Dragon Island.

Fang Hong did not set off immediately but instead set up multiple formations around Dragon Island, planning to use the Dragon King's demon blood again to perform a secret art to summon Demon Beasts, taking the opportunity to harvest more spirit pills.

...

Half a month later, Fang Hong finally left the Dragon Island sea area, a satisfied smile on his face.

During this period, he had performed the secret art several times, attracting a large number of Demon Beasts, and carried out another wave of harvesting, obtaining a total of over seven thousand Demon Beast spirit pills.

Among them, there were over a thousand rank seven spirit pills, while the rest were rank five and six spirit pills, also a considerable number.

These spirit pills would become an important resource to support his future breakthrough to the Divine Transformation realm.

Of course, Fang Hong also knew that these seven thousand-plus spirit pills alone were still not enough to be completely safe.

After he returned to the Inner Sea, he planned to find Xiao Yu again for some Demon Attraction Powder, then continue to set up traps to hunt Demon Beasts and continuously accumulate the spirit pills needed for cultivation.

After making his arrangements, Fang Hong transformed into a streak of light and flew directly towards the Inner Sea.

Now that the Demon Subduing Island's teleportation formation had been destroyed, he couldn't rely on it to return and could only travel by flying with his physical body.

However, with Fang Hong's current cultivation and speed, it wouldn't take too long to fly from the Outer Sea back to the Inner Sea.

After Fang Hong's disturbance, the high-rank Demon Beasts in the Demon Subduing Island sea area were almost completely wiped out by him alone.

Now there were not many great Demon Beasts left in that area, and this Demon Subduing Island sea area would probably become the safest sea area in the Outer Sea from now on.

...

Flying at full speed, after three months, Fang Hong finally flew from the Demon Subduing Island sea area back into the Inner Sea.

He would only need to fly for less than half a day more to successfully return to Four Seas City.

However, as Fang Hong was flying high in the sky, his Divine Sense suddenly detected intense spiritual power fluctuations coming from a certain island below, indicating a fierce battle was taking place.

Fang Hong's figure paused, stopping in mid-air, and he looked down, a hint of doubt on his face.

If he remembered correctly, this sea area should belong to the Four Seas Sect's sphere of influence. How could someone dare to cause trouble here?

Fang Hong's gaze fell on the island below. This island was not too large, about fifty to sixty li in length and width.

A sizable town was built on the island, which appeared to have been inhabited by humans for a long time, and it was equipped with a complete formation defense.

At this moment, the entire town was enveloped by a layer of blue light, which was the island's protective formation operating at full power.

On the island, a group of Four Seas Sect disciples were nervously maintaining the formation, resisting the enemy's attack.

Fang Hong noticed that among these disciples, the highest Cultivation was a blue-robed old man in the Core formation Middle Stage, while the others were mostly juniors in the Foundation Establishment Stage or even Qi Refining Stage, with overall weak strength.

And those attacking this small island were a group of cultivators dressed in black robes.

They stood on a dark spiritual ship, continuously casting various spells and spiritual artifacts to attack the formation's light barrier.

Among the leaders were two cultivators in the Core formation Middle Stage, who were clearly stronger than the island's defenders.

Fang Hong stood high in the sky, calmly observing the situation.

He quickly deduced from their attire that these attackers should be cultivators from Shadow Demon Island.

Fang Hong was not unfamiliar with Shadow Demon Island Cultivators; last time in the Dragon Palace, he was frantically chased by Zhao Yongxiu, a Nascent Soul Elder from Shadow Demon Island.

Now, cultivators from Shadow Demon Island actually dared to brazenly invade the Four Seas Sect's territory, attempting to forcibly occupy an island. There must have been some abnormal change.

Could something have happened to the Four Seas Sect? A hint of curiosity arose in Fang Hong's heart.

"Old Ghost Li. I advise you to stop now. When the Four Seas Sect's powerhouses arrive to support us, you will surely die without a burial place. It's still not too late to retreat." The blue-robed old man shouted angrily from within the formation.

"Hmph, support from the Four Seas Sect?" The black-robed middle-aged man on the spiritual ship sneered upon hearing this, his tone full of disdain.

"Hahaha. The Four Seas Sect is barely able to protect itself now, how could it have the spare capacity to save you peripheral islands?"

"Old man, if you know what's good for you, close the formation yourself and obediently surrender to my Shadow Demon Island. Otherwise, this place will surely be bathed in blood today."

Another grey-robed old man's tone was chilling, his eyes revealing a murderous intent, his threat completely undisguised.
