Cultivating To Immortality

Fang Hong began to collect the demon blood of these two Ancient Beasts.

The Twin-Headed Giant Python was a wood-attribute Ancient Beast, and the Three-Eyed Giant Tiger was a fire-attribute one; their demon blood could be used to strengthen the Four Symbols Formation.

After collecting the demon blood, Fang Hong began to collect their Ancient Beasts' crystal cores, and then fed all their bodies to the demon gourd, refining them into two precious spirit pills.

Having completed all of this, Fang Hong did not delay for a moment and continued to rush towards the mysterious palace.

Two more days passed, and Fang Hong finally arrived in front of the palace.

Fang Hong dared not approach the palace, only observing from several hundred feet away, because the palace was enveloped by a layer of blue flames.

This palace was over a thousand feet tall, wrapped in blue flames, like a burning blue flame mountain.

Even with the flames obscuring it, Fang Hong could still discern its grandeur and solemnity through the gaps in the flames.

However, these blue flames filled Fang Hong with apprehension.

Even standing several hundred feet away, he could clearly feel the terrifying temperature.

No wonder even a Martial Venerable Old Ancestor couldn't do anything about it.

These blue flames were probably several times more powerful than the Nirvana Demonic Fire Fang Hong encountered in the Dragon Palace back then; they were likely the restriction flames left behind by that ancient Mahayana powerhouse.

"My good Little Rainbow, it's your turn to work."

Fang Hong smiled slightly, then summoned Little Rainbow from his small house ancient treasure.

"Giggle, giggle, giggle."

As soon as Little Rainbow appeared, he saw the scorching blue flames in the distance.

He chirped happily, hopping and skipping into Fang Hong's hand, his small eyes filled with excitement and joy.

Seeing the little fellow's excited demeanor, Fang Hong knew everything was stable.

"Go. Little Rainbow, help me get rid of these flames." Fang Hong immediately tossed Little Rainbow towards the palace.

Little Rainbow, like a nimble streak of light, darted into the blue flames and began to devour them in large gulps.

Standing in the distance, Fang Hong felt a surge of shock at this sight.

Every time he saw Little Rainbow devour these strange flames, he found it incredible; truly, there is always a counter to everything.

This time, Little Rainbow devouring these blue flames should allow him to successfully breakthrough and advance to the Divine Transformation Realm.

As the flames devoured by Little Rainbow gradually decreased, Fang Hong's anticipation grew stronger.

In a short while, Little Rainbow had completely devoured all the blue flames, not even leaving a trace.

He slowly flew back to Fang Hong's palm, his belly round and bulging, clearly very full.

Fang Hong couldn't help but smile, gently poked Little Rainbow's bulging belly, and then put him back into the small house ancient treasure, letting him properly refine and absorb.

Without the protection of the blue flames, the palace's true appearance was fully exposed to Fang Hong's sight.

The entire palace was constructed from dark black stone blocks, and while it appeared simple and unadorned, Fang Hong immediately saw through the special nature of these blocks.

Each stone block contained the power of a restriction, and the refining technique was extremely complex.

Even with Fang Hong's current cultivation, a full-strength attack might not easily destroy this palace.

Fang Hong no longer delayed, immediately soared into the air, and began to set up layers of restrictions around the palace to prevent intrusion from other people or Ancient Beasts.

After setting up the restrictions, Fang Hong tightly gripped the soul severing sword in his right hand, with the demon soul banner floating behind him, and the Heavenly Thunder Needle swirling non-stop beside him, fully armed, then cautiously walked into the palace entrance passage with a vigilant expression.

After all, this palace was a inheritance left by an ancient powerhouse, and unknown dangers could appear at any time.

To avoid triggering hidden restrictions, Fang Hong decided to be careful.

As soon as Fang Hong stepped into the passage, he felt a strange restriction power; his Divine Sense was greatly suppressed, only able to perceive a distance of four or five feet around him.

Fang Hong felt quite helpless; no matter how he tried to mobilize his Divine Sense, he couldn't break through this layer of restriction, so he could only advance step by step.

With each step, he remained constantly alert, his eyes scanning all around, ready to deal with any potential danger.

After about an hour of walking, Fang Hong finally reached the end of the passage.

Before him appeared more than a dozen stone rooms, each with a black stone door, tightly closed.

Fang Hong's curiosity was piqued; there might be treasures hidden behind these stone doors.

Fang Hong walked to the first stone door, swept it with his Divine Sense, and found no dangerous restrictions on the stone door.

So, Fang Hong channeled his magical power into the stone door and slowly pushed it open.

Rumble.

The heavy stone door was gradually pushed open, and Fang Hong stepped aside, his face serious and vigilant, ready to deal with any sudden danger.

With a rumbling sound, the stone door was fully pushed open.

Fang Hong looked intently, and the stone chamber was actually empty?

Fang Hong frowned slightly, constantly probing the stone chamber with his Divine Sense, but the final result disappointed him.

There was truly nothing inside the stone chamber, just an ordinary stone chamber.

Fang Hong was a little disappointed, but not disheartened, because there were still many stone chambers to explore.

He didn't believe that such a large palace was just for show?

Fang Hong became serious again, turned to leave, and prepared to continue exploring the next stone chamber.

The second stone chamber's door also opened with a rumble, but unfortunately, it was still empty inside.

The third stone chamber, empty.

The fourth, empty.

The fifth, empty.

…

Fang Hong opened the tenth stone chamber, and it was still empty inside.

Fang Hong's face twitched a few times, extremely frustrated; had he thought too much?

Perhaps this palace was just an ordinary dwelling, not a place of inheritance.

Fang Hong looked ahead helplessly; only the last three stone chambers remained unopened, and he hoped to find something.

Fang Hong continued to open the third-to-last stone chamber; the stone door rumbled, and as soon as a tiny crack opened, he saw something inside.

With the stone door fully open, Fang Hong clearly saw the scene inside, his expression slightly shifting.

Inside the stone chamber stood a humanoid puppet, about ten feet tall.

Behind the puppet was a large treasure chest, shimmering with a faint light.

Other than that, there was nothing else in the stone chamber.

Fang Hong carefully observed the puppet; even though it was covered in some dust, it couldn't hide the exquisite craftsmanship, which was much more complex than the Nascent Soul puppets he had previously refined.

Clearly, this humanoid puppet should be a Divine Transformation level puppet, its strength not to be underestimated.

Click. Click. Click.

Just as Fang Hong paused to investigate, the humanoid puppet began to move; its eye sockets lit up with red light, its entire body emitted clicking sounds, and its aura also began to rise accordingly.

After twisting for a moment, the humanoid puppet was fully activated, letting out a roar, clenching its massive iron fists, and striking fiercely at Fang Hong.

Bang!

The fist wind whistled, and the Heavenly Thunder Needle beside Fang Hong instantly transformed into a circular shield, blocking the humanoid puppet's iron fist, sparks flying everywhere.
