Cultivating To Immortality

"Letting you go is impossible. I'll just kill you and search your soul and refine your primordial spirit."

Fang Hong's gaze was cold, his tone resolute. The Dragon Qi within him surged, and Dragon Fist once again gathered momentum, its punch wind stirring, its power astonishing.

"No. Please don't make a move. I've already set up a restriction on myself. If Fellow Daoist forcefully uses a soul search technique on me, my physical body and primordial spirit will vanish into thin air in an instant."

"By then, Fellow Daoist, you probably won't get any news about that ancient teleportation formation either."

"Or perhaps, Fellow Daoist doesn't believe I can even manage this much?" Tianwu Great Emperor said in a panic.

Fang Hong frowned upon hearing this, his expression subtly changing.

He probed with his Divine Sense and indeed detected extremely intricate restriction fluctuations hidden within the other party's body. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

This guy is quite ruthless; to save his life, he actually placed such a malicious restriction on himself.

"I can open my sea of consciousness."

"You can leave a restriction in there. I am willing to submit to you, even if it means becoming your subordinate, as long as you spare my life."

Tianwu Great Emperor gritted his teeth, stating his final concession.

In this situation, he dared not ask for too much. If Fang Hong truly preferred to give up the clue to the teleportation formation rather than kill him, then he would truly die without a burial place.

He had only recently advanced to the Divine Transformation rank and still had a long lifespan ahead of him. He didn't want to die so early.

Open his sea of consciousness?

Fang Hong's heart stirred. This was a very dangerous thing. Once a sea of consciousness was imprinted with a restriction, one's life and death would be controlled by another, much like a slave.

It seemed that Tianwu Great Emperor, in order to survive, was willing to abandon his dignity.

"Alright, open your sea of consciousness, and I will spare your life." After a moment of thought, Fang Hong agreed.

Fang Hong was going to venture into the Eastern Heaven Continent, and subduing Yun Tian to guard the Heavenly Azure Continent was not a bad idea.

"Yes."

Tianwu Great Emperor dared not hesitate, immediately closed his eyes, released his soul defense, and exposed the core of his Divine Soul.

Seeing this, Fang Hong raised his hand and guided a purple demon gourd seal, which condensed at his fingertip.

Then, with a gentle flick, the demon gourd seal transformed into a streak of light, quietly merging into Tianwu Great Emperor's sea ​​of ​​consciousness and tightly fusing with his Divine Soul.

"The demon gourd seal is complete. I can clearly sense even a hint of malice from you towards me. You understand what I mean, right?" Fang Hong threatened.

"I wouldn't dare. Yun Tian greets Master. Your subordinate only wishes to live for a few more years and will wholeheartedly pledge allegiance to master from now on."

Tianwu Great Emperor struggled to his feet and bowed to Fang Hong. He had been severely beaten by Fang Hong earlier.

Hearing this, Fang Hong nodded in satisfaction, then raised his hand and used a spirit recovery secret technique to instantly heal Yun Tian's injuries.

Yun Tian was greatly astonished that Fang Hong possessed such an unusual secret technique. His reverence for Fang Hong deepened.

"Thank you, Master."

"Mm. Tell me about the situation in the Eastern Heaven Continent, and also about that ancient teleportation formation." Fang Hong nodded lightly, then asked.

"Yes." Yun Tian bowed in response, not daring to be negligent.

Subsequently, Fang Hong sat down on a protruding rock, while Yun Tian stood beside him and began to elaborate on various intelligence regarding the Eastern Heaven Continent.

As Yun Tian's narration deepened, Fang Hong gradually gained a clearer understanding of this unfamiliar continent.

Simply put, the Eastern Heaven Continent was a vast land, immense in territory, far beyond comparison to the Heavenly Azure Continent. Its area was almost dozens of times that of the latter, truly a super continent.

In the middle of the entire continent stood a majestic and grand mountain range, named "Eastern Heaven Mountain Range."

This mountain range ran north to south, naturally dividing the entire continent into eastern and western regions.

East of the Eastern Heaven Mountain Range was the territory of the demon race, known as the Eastern Region, ruled by several powerful Demonic Emperors.

West of the mountain range was the territory of the humans, called the Heaven Region, jointly governed by various sect forces, where human cultivators multiplied and thrived.

In comparison, the area of the Eastern Region was nearly twice as large as the Heaven Region, so overall, the demon race's power on the Eastern Heaven Continent was slightly stronger than that of the Human.

What was worse, the relationship between the demon race and the Human had always been tense, with constant conflicts.

The demon race would periodically launch beast tides, attacking Human cities, intending to annex the entire continent.

Fortunately, the Human, relying on various high-rank formations and defensive barriers, barely managed to resist the invasion of the demon race, thus avoiding extinction.

Regarding the Human forces in the Eastern Heaven Continent, Yun Tian also gave a brief introduction, and Fang Hong now knew a little about them. There were also various sects there.

Among them, the three most prominent sects were Shenwu Sect, Five Elements Sect, and Corpse Ghost Sect.

These three great sects all had Divine Transformation Old Ancestors overseeing them. Among them, Shenwu Sect was the most powerful, followed by Corpse Ghost Sect, and finally Five Elements Sect.

It was precisely because of the existence of these sect Old Ancestors that the Demonic Emperors dared not launch a large-scale invasion of the Heaven Region rashly.

"The strongest cultivator of Shenwu Sect, named Martial Venerable Old Ancestor, has reached the peak of Divine Transformation cultivation and is recognized as the Heaven Region's number one expert," Yun Tian said.

"What about the cultivation of the Old Ancestors of the other two sects?" Fang Hong asked.

"The Old Ancestors of Corpse Ghost Sect and Five Elements Sect have also entered the Late Stage of Divine Transformation, their strength unfathomable and not to be underestimated," Yun Tian replied.

"Are there any Void Refining Realm experts on the Eastern Heaven Continent?" Fang Hong continued to ask thoughtfully.

Yun Tian shook his head.

"There are no Void Refining Realm experts openly. Martial Venerable Old Ancestor is the human race's number one expert. As for whether there are reclusive old monsters, your subordinate does not know."

Upon hearing this, Fang Hong nodded slightly, feeling a little relieved. This was good news for him.

After listening to Yun Tian's explanation, Fang Hong had made up his mind to venture into the Eastern Heaven Continent.

As soon as Fang Hong thought of those Divine Transformation level Demonic Emperors, the demon gourd in his hand was already thirsting for action.

"Take me to see that ancient teleportation formation." Fang Hong stood up, his tone calm.

"Yes, Master." Yun Tian quickly acknowledged the order.

…

Five days later, in a small mountain valley in the Eastern Region of the Heavenly Azure Continent, Fang Hong had arrived beside the ancient teleportation formation.

"Master, this is that ancient teleportation formation. I discovered it by chance during my travels years ago. It can be activated using a great teleportation token," Yun Tian explained from the side.

When Fang Hong saw the teleportation formation, he showed surprise. This teleportation formation was surprisingly similar to the one in Zhao's imperial palace, even the formation seals were identical.

"Could it be that Zhao Emperor's teleportation destination was the Eastern Heaven Continent?" Fang Hong secretly wondered.

If that were truly the case, then he would have to find Zhao Emperor when he ventured into the Eastern Heaven Continent.

"Is there anything wrong with the other end of the teleportation formation?" Fang Hong inquired.
