Cultivating To Immortality

"Fellow Daoist Fang, this ancient mirror is called the Ancient Mirror of Inquiry, and it is a high-grade spiritual treasure."

"It can reflect the deep-seated schemes and evil intentions one harbors towards the Azure Emperor Holy Land. Any person with ill intentions cannot hide from its gaze."

Yang Yuan explained, pointing at the bronze ancient mirror.

"Every Elder or disciple who joins the Holy Land must pass its test. This is the entry process for the Holy Land, so please understand, Fellow Daoist Fang."

Yang Yuan said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Fang Hong's expression remained calm as usual, and he frankly said.

"No problem, I am willing to accept the test."

His heart was clear, so he naturally feared no test.

With that, Fang Hong stepped forward and stood before the Ancient Mirror of Inquiry.

The Ancient Mirror of Inquiry sensed someone approaching, and its surface instantly erupted with a soft blue light, which flowed over Fang Hong, beginning its meticulous examination.

Yang Yuan stood to the side, his gaze fixed on the ancient mirror and Fang Hong, silently praying that Fang Hong would have no issues.

Time passed bit by bit. After dozens of breaths, the blue light on the Ancient Mirror of Inquiry gradually dissipated, and the mirror surface returned to its simple and unadorned appearance, with no unusual phenomena occurring.

"Hahaha. Excellent. Fellow Daoist Fang, you've passed the test."

Seeing this, the weight on Yang Yuan's mind finally lifted, and he burst into joyous laughter.

"Let's go, I'll take you to collect your identity token right now. From now on, we are family."

Yang Yuan enthusiastically patted Fang Hong's shoulder.

Afterward, Yang Yuan led Fang Hong away from the Inquiry Heart Hall and went to another hall specifically responsible for identity registration.

The Deacon Elder in the hall, seeing Yang Yuan personally bringing someone, did not dare to neglect them in the slightest and quickly stepped forward to respectfully salute.

Under Yang Yuan's arrangements, Fang Hong quickly completed the certification for his core elder identity, and his name was solemnly inscribed in the Holy Land's roster.

From this moment on, Fang Hong was considered a member of the Azure Emperor Holy Land.

After completing the identity certification, Yang Yuan then took Fang Hong to visit some of the sect's high-ranking Elders.

Most of these Elders were core Elders. Seeing Yang Yuan bring an unfamiliar Void Refining peak Cultivator, they politely exchanged greetings with Fang Hong, getting to know him.

As for the Elders who were in seclusion cultivating and could not be disturbed, Yang Yuan used the image function of a jade talisman to introduce them one by one to Fang Hong.

Fang Hong remembered them all.

After visiting the high-ranking Elders, Yang Yuan took Fang Hong to tour the various buildings within the sect, helping Fang Hong quickly familiarize himself with the Holy Land's situation.

As they toured, Yang Yuan led Fang Hong to the core area of the Holy Land, where mountains stretched endlessly, shrouded in mist, like a celestial realm.

Most importantly, the concentration of Heaven and Earth Origin Qi here was dozens of times thicker than in the outer regions of the Holy Land.

Fang Hong couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart.

'As expected of the core area of the Holy Land, it is indeed extraordinary.'

Yang Yuan smiled and said to Fang Hong, "Brother Fang, the peaks here are all cultivation grounds prepared for core Elders. You can freely choose one as your Immortal Cave for cultivation."

Since that was the case, Fang Hong didn't stand on ceremony.

He looked around, his gaze sweeping over several peaks, and casually chose one.

After making his selection, Fang Hong flipped his hand, and a golden light flashed in his palm, landing on the peak he had chosen.

In an instant, the entire peak was enveloped in a dazzling light.

In just a few breaths, several magnificent and majestic cultivation palaces appeared out of thin air on the previously empty mountaintop.

With Fang Hong's current Void Refining peak cultivation and divine power, creating such a cultivation Immortal Cave was merely a flick of his hand.

Next, Fang Hong invited Yang Yuan to be a guest at his new Immortal Cave. The two sat in the pavilion, chatting happily, until an hour later, Yang Yuan bid farewell and left.

Fang Hong stood alone at the edge of the pavilion, his hands clasped behind his back, looking down at the undulating mountains below. He had finally successfully entered the Azure Emperor Holy Land.

Fang Hong waved his hand, and five rays of light landed around the Immortal Cave, setting up a powerful Five Elements Reversal formation with his powerful Magic Power to protect the Immortal Cave.

After setting up the defensive formation, Fang Hong turned and walked into a secret chamber deep within the Immortal Cave.

He took out the guangyin stele, flashed into it, and planted all the spirit medicine obtained from the trade fair, such as sky thunder bamboo, Dragon Power Fruit saplings, and Underworld Tree roots.

These three were all rare varieties. As long as they were all cultivated to maturity, his strength would undoubtedly increase significantly.

After dealing with the spirit medicine, Fang Hong sat cross-legged beside the medicine garden, took out a large pile of artifact refining materials from his storage bag, and casually refined dozens of puppets, letting them manage the guangyin stele medicine garden.

After doing all this, Fang Hong checked the situation of the medicine garden, and after confirming everything was correct, he flashed out of the guangyin stele space.

Leaving the secret chamber, Fang Hong came to a waterside pavilion within the Immortal Cave and took out a warm jade pendant.

This jade pendant was a communication spiritual artifact he had specially refined. As long as they were within a million-mile radius, he could contact his beloved wife.

Fang Hong immediately injected Magic Power and sent a message to his beloved wife. Since his beloved wife had joined the Azure Emperor Holy Land, she should be able to receive his message.

After sending the message, Fang Hong sat in the pavilion, closed his eyes, and waited quietly.

...

In less than half an hour, Fang Hong suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of joy flashing within them.

He raised his hand and waved, removing some of the restrictions on the outer perimeter of the Immortal Cave. A soft light shot in from outside the Immortal Cave.

As the light dissipated, a graceful figure appeared before him, none other than his beloved wife, Su Shan.

Su Shan was currently wearing a light green palace dress, her appearance still as beautiful and moving as ever, with a sweet smile on her face.

"Husband, you've finally come." Su Shan saw Fang Hong and immediately flew into his arms, filled with joy.

"Yes, I'm here. It's been a while, and my Su Shan has become even more beautiful and moving." Fang Hong smiled, gently caressing his beloved wife's face.

Seeing that Su Shan was well, Fang Hong was relieved.

"Hehe, Husband is truly amazing. You've only just arrived at the Azure Emperor Holy Land and you're already a core Elder."

Su Shan said with a smile. Fang Hong being able to open an Immortal Cave here meant he must have already achieved a breakthrough to the Void Refining Stage.

"Su Shan's improvement isn't slow either."

Fang Hong could tell at a glance that Su Shan was already a Divine Transformation Late Stage Cultivator.

He and Su Shan had only been separated for a little over a decade. When they parted, Su Shan was only at the Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivation. Now, she had already reached the Divine Transformation Late Stage. Such a cultivation speed was even a few points faster than his, which was truly astonishing.

"That's because I became a disciple of the Azure Emperor Holy Lord. I'm the Saintess of the Holy Land now."

"What? The Azure Emperor Holy Lord." Fang Hong was greatly surprised upon hearing this.

Su Shan had actually become the disciple of the Azure Emperor Holy Lord?

That was the pillar of the entire Azure Emperor Holy Land, a top-tier Mahayana Stage powerhouse.
