Chapter 174 - 174: Technique
When Xiao Ze heard this, he quickly took out a jade slip map from his storage bag and handed it to Fang Hong.
After receiving the map, Fang Hong said nothing more, his figure transforming into a streak of light, instantly breaking through the air and vanishing into the horizon.
Fang Hong still harbored doubts; although Tang Tian had been executed, no one knew if his Shadow Demon Island lair still held hidden secrets or other important treasures, so since he was here, he naturally couldn't miss the opportunity to scour it.
Watching Fang Hong's figure completely disappear into the sky, Xiao Ze finally let out a sigh of relief, feeling as if he had been liberated from immense pressure.
Yet, even so, his heart was not entirely at ease; instead, a faint sense of unease and worry subtly emerged.
Fang Hong's strength was too great; such an existence, remaining within the Four Seas Sect, was truly hard to predict whether it would be a blessing or a calamity.
"If one day, Fang Hong suddenly turns hostile and becomes an enemy of the sect, what do I have to resist him?" Xiao Ze murmured to himself, his brows tightly furrowed.
"Alas! Never mind, I can only take things one step at a time." He sighed heavily, his mood complex, then transformed into a streak of light and flew back towards the sect.
…
Ten days later, in a certain grand hall of the Four Seas Sect, everyone from the Xiao Family gathered, discussing a matter with solemn expressions around a large table.
And the focus of their discussion was, surprisingly, whether Fang Hong would overthrow the Four Seas Sect?
Hearing these discussions, Xiao Yu, who was sitting nearby, immediately rolled her eyes and looked at her family with a speechless expression, saying.
"I say, Grandpa, what are you all discussing Brother Fang was personally introduced into the sect by me; I know what kind of person he is better than all of you."
"Brother Fang is dedicated to pursuing the dao, always prioritizing cultivation; how could he covet our Four Seas Sect's insignificant foundation? You are all just worrying for nothing."
"Oh? Calling him Brother Fang with every other word, Yu'er, could it be that you've fallen for Fang Hong?" Hua Hui looked at her daughter with a smile, teasingly.
Xiao Li also chimed in with a smile, "Fang Hong's talent is exceptional, achieving so much at such a young age; if our Yu'er could become his Dao Companion, as her father, I would naturally approve with both hands."
Teased by her parents in unison, Xiao Yu's pretty face immediately flushed red, and she softly chided, "Oh, don't talk nonsense, you don't need to worry about my affairs. I just admire Brother Fang, that's all."
"In short, about Brother Fang, you don't need to worry anymore; I will take care of Brother Fang's side."
After speaking, Xiao Yu immediately fled in haste, afraid that her parents would say anything more about her.
Watching their daughter's hasty departure, Xiao Li and Hua Hui couldn't help but exchange a smile.
After so many years, there was finally someone who could make her heart flutter.
"Father, since Yu'er has said so, Fang Hong must not be someone with ill intentions, and he wouldn't even care about our small foundation."
"Moreover, Fang Hong, at such a young age, has already cultivated to the Nascent Soul Peak; he has great hope of breaking through to the Divine Transformation Realm in the future, and may even step into a higher realm."
"If we can forge a good relationship with him, wouldn't that be our Four Seas Sect's Luck and opportunity?" Xiao Li said.
Xiao Ze nodded upon hearing this: "If only Fang Hong could take a liking to our Yu'er."
Xiao Li and his wife were stunned.
…
At the same time, Fang Hong had returned to his Immortal Cave in the Four Seas Sect.
In the past few days, he had not been idle, but had personally gone to Shadow Demon Island and the Myriad Talisman Sect's headquarters to search thoroughly.
Unfortunately, the results were not ideal, only finding over a hundred thousand medium grade spirit stones.
At this moment, Fang Hong was sitting peacefully on a jade chair inside the Immortal Cave, with dozens of cultivation techniques suspended in the air before him.
He was focused, examining the contents of these cultivation techniques one by one, attempting to comprehend their essence and commonalities.
The Dark Demon Transformation Technique that Tang Tian Cultivated, while good, Fang Hong temporarily didn't care for it.
He had another plan in mind: whether he could try to create a brand new cultivation technique, one truly suitable for his own Cultivation Dao.
Previously, his cultivation was shallow, his realm insufficient, and resources scarce; even if he had the intention, he couldn't fulfill this wish.
But now, he had already entered the Nascent Soul Peak realm, and held a large number of high-grade cultivation technique resources in his hands; perhaps he could truly comprehend his own dao from them and create his own cultivation technique.
As his thoughts gradually became clear, Fang Hong's resolve grew even stronger; he was determined to create this cultivation technique no matter what.
At this moment, Fang Hong's Divine Sense sensed a guest outside the Immortal Cave, and it turned out to be Xiao Yu.
Fang Hong flicked his fingertip lightly, and a spiritual light flew out, opening the Immortal Cave's restriction.
Before long, Xiao Yu gracefully walked into the pavilion, greeting him with a smile.
"Brother Fang, you're finally back. I thought you had gone to the Outer Sea to cultivate again."
"Hmm, this time, I plan to thoroughly study the sect's cultivation technique scriptures. Do you have any copies of cultivation techniques on you?"
Fang Hong nodded in response, motioning for Xiao Yu to sit beside him.
"Cultivation techniques? Of course I do."
Xiao Yu sat down and immediately took out two black and white jade slips from her storage bag, handing them to Fang Hong.
She then explained.
"The black jade slip contains copies of all our Four Seas Sect's cultivation techniques, from the Qi Refinement Stage up to the Nascent Soul Stage; the sect currently has no Divine Transformation Stage cultivation techniques, but.."
"The cultivation technique on that white jade slip might be useful to Brother Fang."
Fang Hong immediately used his Divine Sense to examine the contents of the white jade slip, and a moment later, his expression changed slightly, showing considerable surprise.
"Gathering Yuan Technique? It's actually a Divine Transformation Stage cultivation technique? Didn't you say the sect didn't have any?"
"Hehe, originally the sect indeed didn't have Divine Transformation Stage cultivation techniques. This Gathering Yuan Technique was an opportunity I obtained from the inheritance when we went to the Dragon Palace together last time."
"So that's how it is."
Fang Hong nodded in realization, recalling that time he had obtained the Dragon Fist secret technique, and Xiao Yu had also acquired this Divine Transformation Stage cultivation technique from it.
"With this cultivation technique, I'm sure Brother Fang will soon be able to comprehend the Divine Transformation realm."
Xiao Yu smiled brightly, congratulating him in advance.
"I hope so; this cultivation technique came at just the right time." Fang Hong chuckled softly, feeling quite pleased.
Fang Hong briefly looked at the Gathering Yuan Technique; it was indeed a Divine Transformation Stage cultivation technique, but it was just an ordinary Divine Transformation Stage cultivation technique, only allowing one to cultivate to the Nascent Soul Stage.
Fang Hong naturally wouldn't use it as his main cultivation technique; it would, however, be good for reference to assist him in creating his own cultivation technique.
"Oh, by the way, Brother Fang, the corpses you asked me to collect earlier, I've already sealed them all in this storage bag."
Xiao Yu suddenly remembered something and immediately took out a high-grade storage bag from her sleeve, handing it to Fang Hong.
Fang Hong took the storage bag and swept it with his Divine Sense.
Indeed, he saw dozens of huge coffins inside, with thousands of Shadow Demon Island cultivator corpses neatly arranged within them, all extremely well-preserved.
