Cultivating To Immortality

"What an astonishing Origin Qi fluctuations? This is great." Fang Hong's face lit up with joy, and he quickly reached out to catch the spirit pill.

This spirit pill was, without a doubt, the highest grade spirit pill he had ever seen.

After all, it was refined from the corpse of a Void Refining Middle Stage powerhouse, so its quality was naturally top tier.

Fang Hong immediately took out a jade box spiritual artifact and carefully placed the spirit pill inside.

With this spirit pill, in addition to the Breaking Void Pill he had prepared earlier, his cultivation would surely advance by leaps and bounds again.

After dealing with the Gray-robed Old Man's corpse, Fang Hong then focused his attention on the scattered items.

First to catch his eye was the crystal clear crystal coffin, its body shimmering with a faint treasure light.

Fang Hong could tell at a glance that this crystal coffin was a low-grade spiritual treasure, and its specific Divine Power was likely to protect the soul, which the Gray-robed Old Man had relied on to maintain his remnant soul.

However, such a spiritual treasure was dispensable for Fang Hong, so he casually moved it aside and continued his search.

Besides the crystal coffin, Fang Hong also found a red whip nearby, with faint heat waves emanating from it. Its grade was not low, having reached the mid-grade spiritual treasure level.

Fang Hong reached out and picked it up, trying to swing it a few times. The whip's shadow cut through the air with a whistling sound, but he always felt it wasn't quite right.

After a moment of thought, he decided to use this whip to feed his own spiritual treasure.

Continuing his search, Fang Hong also discovered thirty thousand Origin Stones, over a hundred various spiritual artifacts, and a pile of bamboo scrolls and books.

Origin Stone is a special mineral that contains pure Heaven and Earth Origin Qi, even more precious than Top-Grade Spirit Stone.

Origin Stone veins are generally only formed in large realms where the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi is exceptionally abundant.

In small realms where spiritual energy is sparse, even Top-Grade Spirit Stone is hard to find, let alone Origin Stone.

Looking at the more than a hundred spiritual artifacts, there were all kinds of swords, spears, and halberds, but upon closer inspection, they were all ordinary items with weak spiritual fluctuations and common materials.

These spiritual artifacts were useless as they were and could only be used, like the red whip, to feed other spiritual treasures to enhance their power.

As for the pile of books, they piqued Fang Hong's interest a bit more.

Among them were cultivation techniques as well as many ancient texts and miscellaneous notes.

He casually picked up a book and opened it. It contained some observations, which he might examine carefully in his free time. Perhaps he could learn more about the Profound Fallen Realm.

Besides these scattered items in the main hall, there was actually another rather good treasure, and that was the entire Beast God Tower itself.

In the Gray-robed Old Man's remaining memory fragments, this tall tower was not actually called the Beast God Tower; its true name was Star Tower.

This Star Tower was not only a high-grade spiritual treasure but also a precious Starry Sky Spaceship.

As the name suggests, it was a special artifact specifically used for navigating the starry sky. The tower body contained a special escape art, enough to quickly travel through the void.

Back then, the Gray-robed Old Man was able to escape from the Profound Fallen Realm to the Heavenly Profound Realm mostly by relying on this Star Tower to break through the realm barrier.

This tower was invaluable to Fang Hong. With the Star Tower's assistance, he would be able to break through realm barriers and freely travel between various realms.

Thinking of this, Fang Hong no longer hesitated and immediately sent a condensed magical power towards the cloud-top of the main hall.

The Gray-robed Old Man's remnant soul had long since extinguished, and the Star Tower had become ownerless, so now was the best time to subdue it.

Boom.

The moment the magical power struck the cloud-top, the entire hall suddenly vibrated violently.

A moment later, an extremely complex formation slowly descended from the sky above the cloud-top. The formation seals intertwined, and this was precisely the core formation of the Star Tower.

As long as this core formation was refined, he would be able to freely enter and exit the entire Star Tower in the future.

Fang Hong immediately sat cross-legged in the middle of the formation, condensed his Divine Sense, and began to refine it.

Two days later, the formation in the main hall suddenly erupted with dazzling golden light, and the entire Star Tower trembled with it.

Fang Hong slowly opened his eyes, revealing a satisfied smile. He had initially refined the Star Tower, and freely entering and exiting should not be a problem.

However, to fully unleash the Star Tower's complete power, he still needed to erase the mental imprint left in the tower by the Gray-robed Old Man.

This would be a very troublesome matter for other cultivators, but for Fang Hong, it was not difficult. His fire cloud gourd was best at refining such imprints.

He only needed to upgrade the fire cloud gourd to a high-grade spiritual treasure another day, and then have it re-refine the Star Tower, which would completely erase all traces.

After subduing the Star Tower, Fang Hong decided to go into seclusion inside the tower for a period, refining all the spirit pills he had accumulated, and using this to charge towards a higher cultivation realm.

Without further ado, Fang Hong immediately summoned the Dragon Suppressing Cauldron and leaped into it.

He took out the spirit pills of the four Demon Emperors from his storage bag, as well as the spirit pill of the Gray-robed Old Man he had just obtained.

Fang Hong swallowed one of them, then closed his eyes to focus, and began to circulate his cultivation technique to absorb the spirit pill.

…

Time flew by, and two years passed in a flash.

The mountains and forests outside the Star Tower remained peaceful. Not far away, a Stone Eye Beast lay on the ground, constantly monitoring every move of the Star Tower.

And in a hidden mountain cave ten thousand miles away, the Phantom Wolf Emperor sat cross-legged on the ground.

His eyes were tightly shut, but his Divine Sense shared the Stone Eye Beast's vision, allowing him to monitor the Star Tower's movements every day.

"It's already been two years. Could it be that Fire Flood Dragon and the others, as well as that human cultivator, have all died in the tower?" the Phantom Wolf Emperor murmured to himself.

Just then, the Phantom Wolf Emperor's brow suddenly twitched.

Through the Stone Eye Beast's vision, he clearly saw the Star Tower begin to tremble slightly, constantly shaking.

"Is he finally coming out?" The Phantom Wolf Emperor felt a surge of excitement at this movement.

Immediately following, an even more astonishing scene appeared: the Star Tower suddenly burst into roaring flames, fire soaring into the sky, burning away all the vines and vegetation covering the tower body.

A moment later, the flames slowly extinguished, revealing the Star Tower's original appearance—a colossal, pitch-black tower soaring into the clouds, surrounded by a faint glow, radiating treasure light.

Seeing this scene, the Phantom Wolf Emperor's heart sank, and he inwardly cried out that something was wrong. Such a strange change in the Beast God Tower surely meant someone had gained control of it.

The next scene startled the Phantom Wolf Emperor even more: a black shadow suddenly flashed across the Stone Eye Beast's vision.

A black-robed young man flashed out from inside the Star Tower, his figure tall and straight, his aura steady. It was precisely Fang Hong, who had been in seclusion for two years.

"What? It's really him. Fire Flood Dragon and the others are most likely dead." A storm raged in the Phantom Wolf Emperor's heart.

He felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head. This human had actually killed four Demon Emperors; such strength was truly terrifying.

This level of strength made the Phantom Wolf Emperor feel increasingly uneasy. It was better not to provoke that human, lest he lose his life.
