Cultivating To Immortality

As long as Fang Hong found Qi Lingzhi and Heavenly Ghost Flower, he would be able to refine the saint essence pill, and his cultivation would advance significantly then.

Fang Hong suppressed the joy in his heart and suddenly spoke to his surroundings.

"Show yourselves. With your meager stealth ability, you can't hide from my Divine Sense."

As soon as he finished speaking, two loud bangs followed, and then two massive Ancient Beasts emerged from a large puddle nearby.

Water splashed, and as the mist dissipated, the appearance of the two Ancient Beasts gradually became clear.

Fang Hong's eyes narrowed, and a peculiar expression appeared on his face.

These two Ancient Beasts had a rather unique appearance. They were about seven or eight zhang tall, covered entirely in a layer of blue fur, resembling giant monkeys, but they possessed a pair of blue fleshy wings, and their four strong arms were also very conspicuous.

Roar! Roar!

The two Blue-Winged Monkeys let out deafening roars, followed by a powerful wave of destructive sonic energy that swept towards Fang Hong.

However, Fang Hong's expression remained calm. He raised his hand, and a golden protective shield immediately lit up around him.

The sonic wave crashed against the shield with a muffled thud but failed to penetrate the protective layer.

Fang Hong's lips curved slightly upward, feeling satisfied.

The aura of these two Blue-Winged Monkeys was not weak; they had reached the Divine Transformation Stage.

If their corpses could be fed to the demon gourd, the spirit pills refined from them should be quite effective.

Seeing that the sonic attack was ineffective, the Blue-Winged Monkeys did not stop attacking. They quickly opened their gaping mouths and spat out a blue beam of light towards Fang Hong, rapidly shooting towards him.

Fang Hong keenly sensed the unusual nature of this blue light and, with a thought, immediately dodged to the side.

Sure enough, the blue light hit the puddle, instantly turning the water inside into rock.

"Petrification? The Divine Power of these two monkeys is quite interesting," Fang Hong was slightly startled, secretly surprised.

The Blue-Winged Monkeys were clearly not reconciled and continued to furiously release blue beams, launching successive attacks at Fang Hong.

But Fang Hong was no longer interested in wasting time with them.

He gently waved his hand, and two Void Spirit Slashes instantly tore through the void, striking the two Blue-Winged Monkeys with lightning speed.

Pfft.

The heads of the two Blue-Winged Monkeys were instantly severed, falling into the pool, and a large amount of demon blood gushed out, staining the surrounding water red.

Boom. Boom.

Their huge bodies fell heavily into the pool, stirring up a massive splash.

Fang Hong's attack was almost instantly fatal. The two Blue-Winged Monkeys died on the spot without being able to react.

Fang Hong was a bit surprised. He had originally thought that these two Blue-Winged Monkeys might escape by using the Soul Emergence technique, like the Demon Beasts in the Azure Wave Sea.

However, the reality surprised him; they died so easily?

It seemed that the cultivation methods of these Ancient Beasts were distinctly different from those Demon Beasts in the outside world, seemingly not involving the cultivation of the soul.

Fang Hong stepped forward and carefully inspected them, finding that there was no demon core in the Ancient Beasts' bodies, but rather an irregularly shaped blue crystal core.

This was the Ancient Beast crystal core, the core of the Ancient Beast, incredibly hard, and containing extremely violent demon Origin Qi power.

Under normal circumstances, such crystal cores could not be directly refined and absorbed, but they were quite good for upgrading spiritual artifacts.

Fang Hong was overjoyed and collected these two Divine Transformation level crystal cores.

If he collected some more similar crystal cores, his spiritual treasure might be able to upgrade again.

Next, Fang Hong took out two jade bottle spiritual artifacts and began to collect the demon blood of the Blue-Winged Monkeys.

Blue-Winged Monkeys were water-attribute Ancient Beasts, and their demon blood could still be used to strengthen the Four Symbols Formation.

If a Four Symbols Formation at Divine Transformation Early stage could be refined, then the power of this formation would be enough to contend against a cultivator at the Divine Transformation Middle Stage.

After collecting the demon blood, Fang Hong saw that there were no more materials to collect, so he directly fed the corpses to the demon gourd, refining them into two spirit pills.

The spirit pills were pale golden, with a rich aroma, containing abundant Heaven and Earth Origin Qi.

Only spirit pills of this rank could provide substantial help to Fang Hong's cultivation.

After dealing with the Blue-Winged Monkeys, Fang Hong began to pluck the Qing Yang Grass in the grotto.

He collected a total of twenty-three Qing Yang Grass, enough for him to refine several batches of saint essence pills.

After all this, Fang Hong finally left the underwater grotto with satisfaction.

With such gains in the peripheral area, he was now even more eager to see what spirit medicine the central area would hold.

...

Fang Hong flew for three full days, finally flying out of the boundless sea and arriving at a small continent.

This small continent was the core area of the Ancient Cultivation Small World.

Fang Hong stopped in mid-air and looked around, seeing towering mountains, ancient, vigorous trees, waterfalls cascading down, clouds and mist swirling, Spiritual Beasts soaring in the sky, and exceptionally abundant Heaven and Earth Origin Qi.

It was truly a treasure land for cultivation.

Fang Hong couldn't help but sigh, wondering how that ancient Mahayana Realm powerhouse managed to open up such a world.

Fang Hong envied this Divine Power immensely. Or was it that as long as one reached the Mahayana Realm, one could open up a Small World?

Fang Hong shook his head, no longer letting his thoughts wander. The Mahayana Realm was still very far from him; for now, he should focus on the task at hand.

Fang Hong flew towards the center of the continent, where the mysterious palace was located.

He wanted to prioritize exploring that mysterious palace to see if he could obtain the inheritance within it.

After that, he would look for other resources.

Bang. Bang. Bang.

After flying for a day, Fang Hong suddenly sensed intense fighting sounds coming from below. He looked down and saw two giant Ancient Beasts fighting.

A black two-headed giant python and a three-eyed giant tiger.

Their strengths were both good, their auras reaching the Divine Transformation Stage. It was just that these Ancient Beasts had strange appearances, and Fang Hong couldn't recognize their names.

Names didn't matter. Since Fang Hong encountered them, he would take them. These were two precious Divine Transformation level spirit pills.

Fang Hong immediately transformed into a golden light and swooped down. The two giant beasts also sensed Fang Hong's aura and looked up, but it was already too late.

Fang Hong raised his hand and instantly cast two Void Spirit Slashes. Two sharp dings sounded, and two golden rays, without warning, sliced across the necks of the two giant beasts.

Pfft.

Two massive heads instantly rolled to the ground, blood sprayed out, and the huge bodies crashed down, mercilessly instantly killed by Fang Hong.

Fang Hong landed on the ground and found that the giant python's head was still wriggling, so he added a few more Void Spirit Slashes. Only after it completely stopped moving did he reveal a satisfied smile.

The Spirit Void Slash was not very effective against human cultivators.

Because human cultivators were skilled in artifact refining, they would generally refine some defensive spiritual treasures to protect themselves, making it difficult to instantly kill them with one blow.

But against these Demon Beasts with low intelligence, it was extremely effective.

Although the bodies of these Demon Beasts were powerful, they were still flesh and blood, after all. How could they compare to the spiritual treasures forged by humans with intense fire?
