Cultivating To Immortality

The gases churned, appearing like some kind of deadly poison; an ordinary Martial Artist would likely perish instantly if they inhaled even a single breath.

However, when Fang Hong's gaze fell upon those green gases, a joyful expression immediately appeared on his previously calm face.

These green gases were all True Dragon Qi.

It seemed his earlier conjecture was indeed correct; Yin'an Mountain must be intricately linked to a Dragon Clan secret Treasure, otherwise, it would be impossible for such dense True Dragon Qi to be nurtured here.

Fang Hong immediately concentrated his Divine Sense, piercing through layers of True Dragon Qi, carefully exploring the entire Yin'an Mountain, attempting to find the secret Treasure capable of emitting such astonishing Dragon Qi.

"Th-this is-"

After a moment of Divine Sense exploration, Fang Hong's expression subtly changed, his body trembled slightly, and his face showed deep shock.

This Yin'an Mountain was not a mountain at all.

His Divine Sense clearly perceived warm blood flowing within the entire mountain.

How could this be Yin'an Mountain? It was clearly transformed from an incredibly colossal piece of Dragon meat.

Fang Hong's heart rate instantly accelerated, and his blood boiled at that moment.

His Divine Sense could not be mistaken; this thousand-zhang-tall mountain was entirely transformed from a piece of True Dragon flesh.

No wonder there was such dense True Dragon Qi here; no wonder the meteorite 800 years ago caused a world anomaly. All the mysteries were answered at this moment.

Fang Hong's gaze became incredibly fervent, staring intently at the Treasure Trove before him.

A piece of Dragon meat capable of transforming into a thousand-zhang-tall mountain, and even influencing the entire world's spiritual energy, meant its original owner was at least a Mahayana-stage True Dragon.

If he could feed this Dragon meat to the demon gourd, refine it into a spirit pill, and then consume and refine it, he couldn't imagine how much his cultivation would improve.

Just as Fang Hong was about to act and collect this Dragon meat, two figures suddenly shot from the distant clouds, landing steadily in front of him, adopting a defensive stance.

The battle armor on both individuals automatically opened their helmets, revealing their true faces: one was a dark-skinned middle-aged man with vigilant eyes;

The other was a blonde, blue-eyed woman with a fiery figure.

Fang Hong already knew the identities of these two through the information he had obtained from soul-searching earlier.

The dark-skinned man, named Boggs, possessed a Divine Transformation Middle Stage cultivation and was recognized as the strongest expert in the Crazy Eagle Empire;

The blonde woman, named Annelina, had a slightly weaker cultivation at Divine Transformation Early Stage and was also a Divine Rank Martial Artist of the Crazy Eagle Empire.

These two were the strongest combat forces the Crazy Eagle Empire could present.

"Hey, bro, stop what you're doing."

"State your name. Also, which country are you from? Why are you trespassing into the Forbidden Land of my Crazy Eagle Empire?"

Boggs spoke first, his eyes fixed on Fang Hong, his tone commanding and not to be questioned.

Annelina scrutinized Fang Hong from head to toe, her eyes wary, and she coldly said, "Judging by his appearance and attire, he should be a Martial Artist from Dragon Country."

"No matter who you are, you have violated the International Martial Artist Convention by unauthorized entry into our nation's Forbidden Land."

"Now, come with us immediately to accept an investigation by the Empire's Martial Artist Association."

Boggs stepped forward, unleashing his Divine Transformation Middle Stage Aura, attempting to intimidate Fang Hong.

However, he hadn't finished speaking when Fang Hong merely raised his hand slightly.

There was no earth-shattering roar, nor dazzling light.

Boggs and Annelina's bodies suddenly twitched violently, their eyes instantly rolled back, and their bodies floated stiffly in the air, instantly becoming two corpses.

Fang Hong extracted their souls, fed their corpses to the demon gourd, and refined them into two spirit pills.

Having dealt with these two troublesome little ants, Fang Hong's eyes narrowed, and he unleashed a ball of Heaven and Earth Fire towards Yin'an Mountain, beginning to subdue this precious Dragon meat.

An hour later, the entire Yin'an Mountain continuously vibrated and shrank under the refinement of the Heaven and Earth Fire.

The originally majestic and towering mountain peak transformed into a meat chunk about a zhang in size in the blink of an eye, with a piece of cyan scale still attached to its surface—this was its original appearance.

"Success." Fang Hong looked at the meat chunk emanating a rich Dragon Qi before him, his face filled with joy.

Although this piece of Dragon meat was only about a zhang in size, it was Mahayana-level Dragon meat, and the Dragon Qi essence it contained was immeasurable.

Next, Fang Hong began to meticulously process this supreme Treasure.

He first carefully peeled off the Dragon scale intact; as his fingertips brushed the scale's surface, he could feel the lingering Dragon Might within it.

Then he took out a jade bottle spiritual artifact and collected a portion of pure Dragon blood.

After doing all this, he finally fed the Dragon meat to the demon gourd.

Buzz.

After the demon gourd swallowed the Dragon meat, a layer of dark light shimmered around its body.

After a while, the demon gourd trembled slightly, spitting out a thumb-sized, entirely dark spirit pill.

Fang Hong stared at this spirit pill, his eyes widening involuntarily.

This was absolutely the highest-grade spirit pill he had ever seen in his cultivation; just getting close to it allowed him to feel the immense Origin Qi it contained.

With this spirit pill, advancing his cultivation was just around the corner.

Fang Hong carefully placed the spirit pill into a jade box, then looked at the Dragon scale and Dragon blood in his hand, thinking to himself: the upgrade of the Dragon Suppressing Cauldron finally has a solution.

Fang Hong looked around and found that a significant amount of unabsorbed Dragon Qi was still floating in the air; although these scattered Dragon Qi were not as pure as the main body, they absolutely could not be wasted.

Thus, Fang Hong opened his mouth and absorbed all the free-floating Dragon Qi into his body, intending to slowly refine it later, thereby further enhancing his Dragon power.

After completing all this, Fang Hong, laden with abundant gains, left the Crazy Eagle Empire with satisfaction.

Several hours later, Fang Hong's figure appeared on an ice-bound peak in Antarctica.

He raised his hand and, with a flick of his finger, projected a stream of magic power, carving out a temporary Immortal Cave within the mountain belly, and then set up several layers of concealment and defensive restrictions around the Immortal Cave to ensure he would not be disturbed by the outside world during his seclusion.

Fang Hong came to the Immortal Cave's secret chamber, first arranging the Soul Fusion Formation on the ground, and then steadily placing the Dragon Suppressing Cauldron in the center of the formation.

Then he took out the azure-glowing Dragon scale and the jade bottle containing Dragon blood from his storage bag.

Immediately after, Fang Hong unleashed the Heaven and Earth Fire, patiently beginning to melt the Dragon scale, preparing to refine both the Dragon scale and Dragon blood into the Dragon Suppressing Cauldron, allowing this spiritual artifact to achieve a qualitative leap.

The Dragon scale's toughness far exceeded Fang Hong's expectations; even under the continuous scorching of the Heaven and Earth Fire, only a faint glow appeared on its surface, and it showed no signs of softening for a long time.

Fang Hong could only continuously activate the flames day and night, spending a full six months before finally completely melting the Dragon scale into a liquid, perfectly fusing it with the Dragon blood, and slowly integrating it into the Dragon Suppressing Cauldron.

Roar.

One day, bursts of Dragon roars suddenly emanated from Fang Hong's secluded chamber, and golden light surged from the cauldron, instantly filling the entire space.
