Cultivating To Immortality

The Shenwu Sect disciples, Elders, and Old Ancestors from smaller sects who were watching all trembled in fear, their faces drastically changing, mouths agape, eyes filled with terror and disbelief.

The Martial Venerable Old Ancestor, a Void Refining Stage powerhouse, who was just moments ago full of vigor and receiving the worship of everyone, was actually beaten to such a state with a single punch?

"Ahhh. H-how is this possible?" The Martial Venerable Old Ancestor's face was filled with extreme horror.

He truly couldn't imagine that his cultivation, having just entered the Void Refining Stage, would have such a massive gap compared to this young man in front of him. The other party didn't even give him a chance to display his divine power.

Fang Hong was still surrounded by lingering spiritual light.

He had not only used the Swift Wind Wings, pushing the Swift Wind Secret Technique to its limit, but also layered the Phantom Art of the Phantom Wolf Clan to boost his speed, and finally, empowered his physical body with the Barbarian God Art of the Azure Leaf Elephant Clan.

This punch gathered the power of multiple Divine Abilities and secret Arts. Not to mention the Martial Venerable Old Ancestor who was only at the Void Refining Early Stage, even a cultivator at the Void Refining Middle Stage would be severely injured if not killed by such a punch.

"Fe-Fellow Daoist, I, I really don't know where Zhao Wenjun is. Can you spare my life? I wouldn't dare to meddle in his affairs again."

The Martial Venerable Old Ancestor coughed up blood foam, his voice trembling with regret.

At this moment, the Martial Venerable Old Ancestor regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. If he had known that Zhao Wenjun had offended such a terrifying enemy, he shouldn't have recruited Zhao Wenjun into the sect in the first place.

Fang Hong's expression was indifferent; he completely ignored his pleas for mercy. He pressed his palm against the Martial Venerable Old Ancestor's head, and a faint light glowed from his fingertips as he directly performed the Soul Searching Art.

"Ahhhh."

A piercing shriek echoed over the Shenwu Sect. The Martial Venerable Old Ancestor's Primordial Spirit was as if being pierced by flying needles, and his body twitched violently in pain.

The Shenwu Sect's disciples and Elders watched in terror, many of them trembling in their legs, falling to the ground in a scramble.

Their own Old Ancestor, who had just advanced to Void Refining, was now being tortured in someone's hand like a dead dog.

This scene made them not even dare to think of resisting; they could only watch helplessly as the black-robed figure descended like a demonic god.

After a while, Fang Hong finished his soul search, directly killed the Martial Venerable Old Ancestor, took all his belongings, extracted his Nascent Soul, and absorbed his corpse into the demon gourd, refining it into a precious Void Refining-level spirit pill.

The Martial Venerable Old Ancestor had not lied; he indeed did not know Zhao Wenjun's whereabouts.

Fang Hong's gaze swept over the dense crowd below. The chill in his eyes made everyone feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave, and they all knelt on the ground, not even daring to breathe.

Fang Hong casually raised his hand, and two invisible Qi forces drew the only two remaining Divine Transformation Early Stage Elders of the Shenwu Sect into his hands.

"Ahhh. S-Senior, please spare my life. I really don't know where Zhao Wenjun is."

"Please, Senior, have mercy. We have no deep connection with Zhao Wenjun." The two Elders cried and wailed, tears and snot flowing.

Fang Hong remained expressionless, and the spiritual light on his fingertips lit up again. The Soul Searching Art was successively performed on both of them.

After another moment, the soul search was complete. Fang Hong casually killed them, took their belongings, extracted their Nascent Souls, and fed their Physical Bodies to the demon gourd, refining them into spirit pills.

The result was still disappointing; these two also knew nothing about Zhao Wenjun's whereabouts.

Fang Hong's figure flickered, instantly disappearing from his original spot.

The next moment, he was already standing on a hidden peak in the Shenwu Sect's back mountain. This peak was where Zhao Wenjun's Immortal Cave was located.

Fang Hong went in and carefully inspected it, to see if he could find any useful clues.

A moment later, Fang Hong walked out of the Immortal Cave with a gloomy expression. There was nothing inside the Immortal Cave; it was empty.

It seemed Zhao Wenjun had anticipated this, worried that he would come seeking revenge, and had packed up and fled in advance.

Fang Hong had to admit that Zhao Wenjun had some self-awareness, running faster than anyone else.

Unable to find Zhao Wenjun, Fang Hong was a bit unhappy. If Zhao Wenjun hid in some remote, godforsaken corner, it would be quite difficult to dig him out.

After all, the Heavenly Profound Realm was so vast. With Fang Hong's current cultivation, checking every corner of the world one by one would waste an unknown amount of time.

After pondering for a moment, Fang Hong could only temporarily give up on pursuing Zhao Wenjun.

His figure flickered, instantly appearing above Shenwu City. He used a sound amplification spell, issuing a decree.

"Everyone, anyone who knows the whereabouts of these three people can report to the Five Elements Sect. There will be a reward of five million spirit stones. Furthermore, I guarantee your advancement to Divine Transformation. I will keep my word."

As soon as his voice fell, Fang Hong released his aura and raised his hand, sending a dazzling golden light into the air.

The golden light exploded in the air, transforming into thousands of portraits, which fell like snowflakes into the streets and alleys of Shenwu City, and even many landed inside the Shenwu Sect's mountain gate.

The portraits clearly depicted three figures, precisely Zhao Wenjun and his two children.

Fang Hong's decree caused a huge stir throughout Shenwu City.

The cultivators in the city looked up at the black-robed figure in the sky, their faces filled with shock, constantly picking up the portraits from the ground to examine them, discussing animatedly.

"My heavens. What a powerful aura, what cultivation level is that Senior at?"

"A reward of five million spirit stones, and a guaranteed advancement to Divine Transformation? This reward is too generous."

"What did this Zhao family of three do to make such a big shot pursue them so relentlessly?"

"Never mind that, I'm going to travel the continent. Maybe I'll really encounter these three people."

...

Fang Hong looked at the commotion below, his eyes showing no fluctuation.

This action, although it might not necessarily find Zhao Wenjun, would at least make him dare not show his face on the continent for a long time.

Fang Hong returned to the Shenwu Sect, searched it thoroughly, but found nothing of value, so he left directly.

Without a Void Refining Old Ancestor and a Divine Transformation Elder in charge, the Shenwu Sect had already fallen to a second-rate force. He would just let Wan Haoran take over when the time came; it wasn't worth his further attention.

...

A day later, Fang Hong arrived at Corpse Ghost City in the northern part of the Heaven Domain via a teleportation array. This was the headquarters of the Corpse Ghost Sect.

Fang Hong was completely unreasonable; he directly acted, using thunderous means to destroy the Corpse Ghost Old Ancestor and a Divine Transformation Early Stage Elder within the sect, refining them into spirit pills.

He followed suit, issuing a wanted decree above Corpse Ghost City, scattering portraits of Zhao Wenjun's family of three throughout the city.

After doing all this, Fang Hong returned to the Five Elements Sect.

After taking the saint essence pill, Wan Haoran indeed successfully advanced to Divine Transformation peak.

When he saw that Fang Hong had already advanced to Void Refining, he was greatly startled, and quickly addressed Fang Hong as Senior.

Fang Hong intended to support Wan Haoran, letting him manage the entire continent, and told him about Zhao Wenjun, the Shenwu Sect, the Corpse Ghost Sect, and the several Demon Emperors in the Eastern Domain.

Wan Haoran was dumbfounded after listening. The high-ranking members of the Shenwu Sect and the Corpse Ghost Sect were actually gone, and the Demon Emperors in the Eastern Domain were also gone.
