Cultivating To Immortality

Following the successful breakthrough of that white-haired Old Ancestor, many other cultivators in similar situations also broke through their bottlenecks during this Heaven and Earth Origin Rain, stepping into new cultivation realms.

...

This Heaven and Earth Origin Rain lasted for ten full days, and it wasn't until the evening of the tenth day that the sky gradually returned to its usual calm.

Just then, a dazzling golden light suddenly shot out from a secret room deep within Yuan Huang Peak, causing a rumble in the sky.

The golden light solidified in the high sky, not dissipating. A moment later, a figure appeared in the radiance. It was none other than Fang Hong.

At this moment, Fang Hong's aura was unfathomably deep, like a vast ocean, and an invisible pressure enveloped his entire body.

This seclusion went smoothly, and Fang Hong successfully advanced to the Divine Transformation Realm.

More importantly, the cultivation technique he personally created, the Ten Thousand Laws Origin Demon Art, was also verified, proving its feasibility.

With the guidance of the Ten Thousand Laws Origin Demon Art, Fang Hong now had a clear plan for his future cultivation path; every step, every breakthrough, had a definite direction.

In addition to the breakthrough in his cultivation, Fang Hong's physical body strength and Divine Sense also made great progress.

Now, even if he faced a Divine Transformation Middle Stage cultivator, he could easily handle them; it was even possible to blast them apart with a single punch. But he was not so sure as he hadn't faced someone of that realm yet.

At this time, a large number of disciples had already gathered below, all looking up at Fang Hong in the sky. Seeing Fang Hong emerge from seclusion, they immediately cheered loudly with excitement.

"Congratulations to Old Ancestor Fang for advancing to Divine Transformation."

"Congratulations to Old Ancestor Fang for achieving great success in cultivation and boundless magical power."

...

The disciples' faces were filled with reverence, each as if they had seen a True Immortal descend, their eyes full of admiration.

Fang Hong looked down at the dense crowd below, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He had only broken through his realm, yet he hadn't expected to attract so many disciples to watch, which was somewhat unexpected for him.

However, what Fang Hong didn't know was that it was precisely the celestial phenomenon triggered by his breakthrough in seclusion that had brought about the Heaven and Earth Origin Rain, causing the overall strength of the entire Demon Subduing Alliance to increase significantly.

During that Heaven and Earth Origin Rain, thousands of Qi Refinement Stage disciples had benefited, successfully breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

And the Inner Sect Disciples who were already in the Foundation Establishment Stage also took this opportunity to greatly enhance their strength.

Some were even close to the Core Formation threshold, just one step away from a breakthrough.

It was believed that in a short while, a new batch of Core Formation Cultivators would emerge within the Alliance.

The Core Formation Stage Elders in the Alliance also gained a lot, with several people's auras visibly solidifying. It was expected that within a few months, their cultivation would advance another rank.

By then, the overall strength of the Demon Subduing Alliance would experience a qualitative leap.

"Alright, everyone, disperse. Go back to your cultivation, and do what you need to do." Fang Hong waved his hand, dismissing the disciples.

The disciples obeyed, bowing their hands in salute, and then dispersed, returning to their respective duties, and the sect once again became orderly.

At this moment, several sounds of breaking air rang out as Luo Jie and several other Old Ancestors sped from a distance, quickly landing in front of Fang Hong.

Their faces were all filled with genuine joy, and they respectfully said in unison.

"Congratulations to Old Ancestor Fang for successfully advancing to Divine Transformation, with boundless magical power, awe-inspiring in all directions."

"Haha, we are all cultivators, there's no need to be so polite. You can just call me Fellow Daoist." Fang Hong chuckled upon hearing this, waving his hand.

Although strength determined status in the cultivation world, these people were much older than him, yet they called him Old Ancestor, which made him a bit uncomfortable.

As he spoke, Fang Hong took out a jade slip from his storage bag and handed it to Luo Jie, saying indifferently.

"These are several Divine Transformation Stage cultivation techniques I comprehended based on my insights after my breakthrough. They can be kept in the sect as a inheritance."

"Of course, you all can also study them; they will help you glimpse the Divine Transformation Realm."

Luo Jie quickly took the jade slip with both hands, his face showing excitement.

The other Old Ancestors also looked pleasantly surprised. These were Divine Transformation Stage cultivation techniques, and cultivating them would indeed bring great benefits.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for bestowing these techniques; we have benefited greatly." Several people bowed their hands, their faces sincere.

"Hmm. How are things being handled in the Western Regions and Sand Country?" Fang Hong asked casually.

"The Western Regions and Sand Country are currently largely stable. Our Elders and disciples have established branches there, widely recruiting disciples, and our strength is expanding rapidly."

"It can now be said that those two regions are completely under the control of our Demon Subduing Alliance." Luo Jie replied.

Fang Hong nodded slightly and asked again.

"How is Zhao? Now that I have advanced to Divine Transformation, it's time to kill Zhao Wenjun, lest he cause trouble in the future."

Although Fang Hong's tone was calm, it carried a chilling killing intent.

Upon hearing Fang Hong mention Zhao, Old Ancestor Zhong Yi's expression changed slightly. He then stepped forward and replied in a deep voice.

"I was just about to report this to you. There have been significant changes in Zhao recently."

"According to the information sent back by our spies there, the Imperial Capital of Zhao was suddenly attacked by a mysterious force some time ago, and the Zhao Imperial Family seems to have been completely annihilated."

"What? The Zhao Imperial Family was annihilated? When did this happen? And who is that mysterious force?" Fang Hong frowned slightly, feeling extremely surprised.

He hadn't even gone for revenge yet, and Zhao was already gone?

Zhong Yi nodded and replied.

"It happened during the time you were in seclusion. It seems to be a force called 'Tianwu Empire.'"

"Tianwu Empire? It's them." A hint of surprise flashed in Fang Hong's eyes.

Elder Ye Yu, who was beside him, asked in confusion.

"What is the origin of this Tianwu Empire? How could it be capable of annihilating Zhao in such a short time? Their strength must be extraordinary, right?"

"The Tianwu Empire is the ruler of the Eastern Regions. I once traveled to the Northern Regions and heard some news. At that time, the Tianwu Empire was invading the Northern Regions sects. I did not interfere in their affairs." Fang Hong pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke.

"So it's a force from the Eastern Regions. Since it has already destroyed Zhao, it is highly likely that its next target will be our Qin." Luo Jie's expression became solemn after hearing Fang Hong's words.

Fang Hong smiled at this point and said.

"Just as I wished. It's time for the Heavenly Azure Continent to be unified."

Luo Jie and the others were all shocked upon hearing this. Fang Hong was going to eliminate the Tianwu Empire.

Afterward, Fang Hong gave some instructions, and the Old Ancestors then departed.

Fang Hong returned to his Immortal Cave to stabilize his cultivation.

For the next period, Fang Hong stayed in his Immortal Cave, absorbing the remaining spirit pills and often guiding his beloved wife in cultivation.
