Cultivating To Immortality

Although these corpses were not of a high grade, and the spirit pills refined from them were far less potent than Demon Beast spirit pills, Fang Hong never complained about having too few spirit pills.

"You've worked hard," Fang Hong said indifferently, putting away the storage bag in his hand.

"It's no trouble at all," Xiao Yu chuckled softly, then her eyes flickered, unable to suppress her curiosity, and she cautiously asked.

"Brother Fang, what do you collect these corpses for?"

"Oh, I'm currently researching a puppet secret technique, and these corpses just happen to be good materials for practice," Fang Hong casually offered an excuse, his tone natural and his expression unchanged.

Xiao Yu nodded after hearing this, not pressing further.

Her eyes darted around, as if gathering courage, and she tentatively spoke again.

"Brother Fang, my grandfather wants to invite you to be the Grand Elder of the sect, what do you think?"

"Of course, as long as I am here, no one will dare to provoke the Four Seas Sect," Fang Hong nodded slightly, agreeing.

"That's great."

When Xiao Yu heard Fang Hong agree, she immediately broke into a heartfelt smile, and at that moment, she finally let out a complete sigh of relief.

Fang Hong's promise was more important than anything else.

Afterward, Xiao Yu chatted with Fang Hong for a while longer before leaving the Immortal Cave, no longer disturbing Fang Hong's Cultivation.

Thus, in the following days, Fang Hong remained in the Immortal Cave, diligently comprehending various cultivation techniques.

He gathered the strengths of many schools, discarded their dross, and integrated all the essence into his own Essence Emperor Art, layering it, and repeatedly deducing it.

Gradually, in his mind, the prototype of a brand new cultivation technique slowly appeared, its outline becoming increasingly clear.

With a little more time, once all the details were polished and perfected, this original cultivation technique would truly take shape.

After the Inner Sea Hegemony War ended, the Four Seas Sect completely controlled the entire Inner Sea, thereby rising to become the undisputed overlord of the Inner Sea, its sect's prestige shaking all directions, with no one daring to challenge it again.

At the same time, the Four Seas Sect also announced a major event that shook the Inner Sea with great fanfare — Fang Hong officially became the new Grand Elder of the sect.

This made Fang Hong's name resound throughout the entire Tianlan Inner Sea from then on.

Fang Hong's current reputation had even surpassed Xiao Ze's, especially the Hegemony War that day, where he instantly killed several Nascent Soul Cultivators.

It had become a widely discussed feat among the cultivators of the Inner Sea, and Fang Hong also became a Senior Old Ancestor admired and revered by many cultivators.

Fang Hong was oblivious to the outside clamor and discussions, his mind free of distractions, focused solely on creating a cultivation technique.

A month later, Fang Hong asked Xiao Yu for a large batch of Demon Attraction Powder, then quietly ventured into the Outer Sea again, embarking on a new round of Demon Beast hunting, solely to collect more cultivation resources.

...

Time flew by, and a full year had passed in the blink of an eye since the Inner Sea Hegemony War.

On this day, Fang Hong returned from the Outer Sea.

During his time in the Outer Sea, Fang Hong hunted Demon Beasts like a madman, accumulating tens of thousands of Demon Beast spirit pills in just one year.

With such a vast reserve of resources, Fang Hong felt it was more than enough to breakthrough to Divine Transformation.

As long as the cultivation technique was completed, breakthrough to Divine Transformation would be a matter of course and just around the corner.

Regarding the cultivation technique Fang Hong created, he had only completed half of it.

However, most of the cultivation technique resources he had on hand had been referenced, and they were no longer sufficient to support him in creating the other half of the cultivation technique.

Fang Hong thought for a moment, it was time to return to the Heavenly Azure Continent.

The Heavenly Azure Continent is vast, divided into four major regions: East, West, South, and North, each with its own sect forces.

What Fang Hong needed to do was to collect all the cultivation techniques of these Sects; this way, he would surely be able to complete his cultivation technique.

Having been away from the Heavenly Azure Continent for many years, he should also go back and see, especially his beloved wife, was she well now?

Of course, there was one more thing that could not be forgotten, and that was Zhao Emperor.

Back then, Zhao Emperor sent a Late stage of Golden Core assassin to secretly assassinate him, a grudge he had always held in his heart, and this time he would definitely kill Zhao Emperor upon his return.

After making up his mind, Fang Hong did not make a big show of it, nor did he alarm anyone in the sect, but quietly left Four Seas City.

Just as he had come to the Azure Wave Sea, he came and went without a trace, and no one knew his whereabouts.

...

In a remote mountain cave deep within White Desert Mountain in Sand Country on the distant Heavenly Azure Continent, a male and a female cultivator were gathered around a formation platform, their eyes filled with curiosity and doubt.

The male and female were not weak in strength; the male cultivator was at the Early Stage Core Formation, and the female cultivator was at the Foundation Establishment Stage, both wearing yellow clothes and appearing middle-aged, not looking like ordinary loose cultivators.

After observing for a while, the female cultivator asked, "Husband, have you figured out what kind of formation this is? Why does it look so complex?"

The male cultivator pondered for a moment, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes, and slowly said, "If I'm not mistaken, this formation platform is very likely an ancient Teleportation formation."

"Teleportation formation?" The female cultivator was immediately startled upon hearing this, her eyes wide, "Then can't we use this formation to get away from Sand Country?"

"Perhaps," the male cultivator nodded with a hint of excitement, "I'll try to see if it can still operate normally."

Saying that, he took out a commonly used Teleportation Talisman from his storage bag and began to slowly inject magical power into the formation.

The female cultivator stood by, her face full of anticipation, her eyes unblinkingly fixed on the changes in the teleportation formation.

However, to their disappointment, after the male cultivator fiddled with it for a long time, the teleportation talisman suddenly burned fiercely, instantly turning into ashes, while the teleportation formation remained unresponsive.

The male cultivator immediately frowned, a look of disappointment appearing in his eyes.

"Husband, is this formation broken?" the female cultivator asked somewhat unwillingly.

"It's not broken. This teleportation formation appears to be well preserved, but to activate it, I'm afraid we must rely on a specific teleportation spiritual artifact; an ordinary teleportation talisman simply cannot activate it," the male cultivator shook his head, feeling helpless.

A silence fell over the cave.

At this moment, the female cultivator continued, "Since there's a formation covering the outside of this cave, why don't we guard it here and set up an ambush? Perhaps we can wait for the person who set up the formation to return, and maybe the teleportation spiritual artifact is on him."

The male cultivator pondered for a moment after hearing this, then nodded, "That's all we can do. The situation in Sand Country is chaotic now, and nowhere is safe; this place is a temporary haven."

Just as the two were about to leave the cave to set up an ambush, an unexpected change occurred.

The silent teleportation formation platform suddenly lit up with a dazzling white light, the entire platform hummed and vibrated, spiritual energy gathered, and the light shone brightly.

"What, what's going on?" The female cultivator's face instantly changed, and she cried out in alarm.

"Damn it. Someone is about to teleport from the other end of the teleportation formation." The male cultivator's expression also changed abruptly.
