Cultivating To Immortality

The ten demon servants respectfully stood to the side, not daring to disturb Fang Hong.

After a moment of thought, Fang Hong directly took out a great teleportation token, a special spiritual artifact specifically used for teleportation array, which might also activate this formation.

Fang Hong began to cast his spell, simultaneously injecting his vast qi into the formation beneath his feet and the great teleportation token.

Buzz. Buzz. Buzz.

In just a few breaths, the formation reacted, radiating light, and all its array seals lit up.

Seeing this, a hint of a smile appeared on Fang Hong's face; as he expected, the great teleportation token also worked on this formation.

However, before Fang Hong could celebrate for long, the light on the formation gradually dimmed, and at the same time, the great teleportation token lost all reaction, completely falling silent.

Seeing this, Fang Hong shook his head helplessly.

He had already seen the clue; in fact, this formation was not damaged, but the formation on the other end was.

It must have been the Zhao Emperor, worried about the Tianwu Empire's pursuit, who destroyed the formation on the other end.

It seems the Zhao Emperor is not dead but has fled with his entire family to an unknown continent.

Fang Hong felt a little frustrated at this moment; if not for the Tianwu Empire's invasion, the Zhao Emperor probably would not have abandoned his territory, and now he had actually escaped.

Fang Hong did not think much further, taking out a recording pearl spiritual artifact to record the appearance and detailed array patterns of the entire formation, for future study of formations.

Immediately after, he lightly stomped his right foot, and with a loud boom, the entire formation platform instantly shattered into pieces, completely losing its function.

As long as this end of the formation was destroyed, even if the Zhao Emperor repaired the formation on the other end, he would not be able to return.

After doing all this, Fang Hong returned to a grand hall and questioned the ten demon servants about the Tianwu Great Emperor's intelligence.

The Tianwu Great Emperor, originally named Yun Tian, was the Old Ancestor of the Tianwu Empire, who successfully advanced to the Divine Transformation a year ago by crossing the barrier, possessing powerful strength.

This was all the intelligence the ten demon servants knew.

It was precisely because the Tianwu Great Emperor broke through to the Divine Transformation Stage that he wanted to conquer the entire Heavenly Azure Continent; currently, the Northern Region had already been taken by him.

In other words, as long as Fang Hong took down this Tianwu Great Emperor, the entire Heavenly Azure Continent would be his territory.

Thus, Fang Hong had the demon servants send a message to the Tianwu Great Emperor, stating that an extremely powerful Nascent Soul Cultivator was attacking Zhao and requesting the Great Emperor's support.

Fang Hong deliberately concealed his true cultivation; if he directly stated that a Divine Transformation Stage cultivator had intruded, the Tianwu Great Emperor might become wary and refuse to show himself.

Now, using a Nascent Soul Cultivator as bait, the other party should be more likely to take the hook.

After making the arrangements, Fang Hong quietly remained in the imperial palace, patiently waiting for the other party's arrival.

…

Ten days passed in a flash.

At noon on this day, the sky suddenly darkened, and a powerful aura descended from high above.

The Tianwu Great Emperor finally arrived, his figure suspended above the imperial palace, surrounded by spiritual light, his aura strong, and the entire imperial city was enveloped by his powerful pressure.

Fang Hong's expression remained unchanged as he slowly walked out of the grand hall with the ten demon servants.

He looked up and saw a middle-aged man in green robes standing in the air, with a resolute and stern face, coldly staring down below, their eyes meeting.

The green-robed man's gaze swept over Fang Hong, his eyebrows slightly raised, a hint of surprise flashing across his face.

Especially after seeing ten of his former subordinates behind Fang Hong, his face immediately darkened, and a chill erupted in his eyes.

"You lowely pigs, how dare you betray me?" the green-robed middle-aged man spoke coldly, and immediately, a powerful aura caused dark clouds to suddenly appear above the imperial palace.

Clearly, the Tianwu Great Emperor before them was already enraged.

"It wasn't them who betrayed you, but I forcibly subdued them," Fang Hong said calmly.

"Presumably, you are the Tianwu Great Emperor, aren't you?"

Fang Hong flew up into the air, coming to face the green-robed middle-aged man, and simply asked.

"Who are you, Your Excellency? Why did you forcibly subdue my subordinates? Don't you think that's going too far?"

The Tianwu Great Emperor stared coldly at Fang Hong, his face full of displeasure.

Fang Hong did not use the Turtle Breathing Secret Technique to suppress his aura; he could tell at a glance that Fang Hong was also a Divine Transformation stage cultivator, which was why he spoke so politely.

"I am the Lord of the Western and Southern Regions. I heard you have already conquered the Northern Region and still wish to conquer the entire continent? Then there must be a battle between us," Fang Hong slowly said.

"So that's how it is. Fellow Daoist, you jest. We are both Divine Transformation Stage Cultivators; why must we fight to the death over this bit of territory?"

Upon learning Fang Hong's background, the Tianwu Great Emperor's expression softened slightly.

After a brief thought, he continued, "How about this: the Western and Southern Regions will be under Fellow Daoist's control, including this Zhao. I will not expand further, and I also ask Fellow Daoist to release my ten subordinates. Let's consider it us becoming friends, how about it?"

Fang Hong, however, merely shook his head gently and said indifferently, "The continent must eventually be unified."

Upon hearing this, the Tianwu Great Emperor's expression darkened again.

"Fellow Daoist truly wishes to be my enemy to be satisfied?"

"This place is not suitable for battle. Let's fight on the barren land outside the imperial city," Fang Hong responded unceremoniously, then flew towards the outside of the imperial city.

"Hmph. I'd like to see what qualifications you have to be so arrogant."

The Tianwu Great Emperor snorted coldly and chased after him.

In his Divine Sense perception, the aura emanating from Fang Hong was not as strong as his, so it was a good opportunity to teach him a lesson.

After flying several thousand li, Fang Hong finally landed on a barren land, surrounded by strange, protruding stone pillars. Looking around, it was bare and desolate, with no grass growing, perfectly suitable for battle.

The Tianwu Great Emperor landed on a stone pillar opposite Fang Hong and said coldly, "Since you want to fight, then I will make you submit today."

As his voice fell, the Tianwu Great Emperor directly made his move. He conjured a golden long spear, glowing with spiritual light, which was clearly a formidable low-grade spiritual treasure.

Whoosh!

The Tianwu Great Emperor fiercely stabbed at Fang Hong. Fang Hong unfolded his Swift Wind Wings, dodged the attack, and the stone pillar beneath his feet turned into dust in a flash of golden light.

The Tianwu Great Emperor continued his pursuit, constantly wielding his precious spear and fiercely stabbing at Fang Hong.

Thousands of spear shadows instantly appeared in the sky. Fortunately, Fang Hong was augmented by the Swift Wind Secret Technique and easily dodged the thrusts.

Rumble.

The aftermath of their battle continuously spread for hundreds of li in all directions. Stone pillars crumbled one after another, dark clouds rolled, and lightning flashed and thunder roared.

Every move made by a Divine Transformation Stage cultivator carried with it the Origin Qi of heaven and earth; a mere aftershock could reduce a Nascent Soul Peak cultivator to ashes.
