Cultivating To Immortality

Fang Hong's mind stirred, and the seventy-two Flying Swords instantly disappeared into his body.

At this moment, Little Rainbow flew in front of him, chirping happily, as if congratulating him on refining the precious swords.

"Hehehe. I'll get you a set too in the future," Fang Hong said with a smile, stroking Little Rainbow's fluffy little head.

Little Rainbow became even happier upon hearing this.

Anyway, Fang Hong still had a pile of materials, so refining a set for Little Rainbow was nothing; of course, his beloved wife would also need a set.

Fang Hong landed back on the ground, closed his eyes, and sat in meditation to rest.

Now that the precious swords were refined and his strength greatly increased, it was time to visit those Demon Beasts in the Wilderness Continent and, while he was at it, explore the secret of that mysterious orb.

...

After ten days of rest, Fang Hong used a Transformation Technique to change his appearance and aura, quietly leaving the Azure Emperor Holy Land.

This Transformation Technique was an ancient spell Fang Hong had learned in the Scripture Pavilion.

After casting it, he could change his appearance at will, but the drawback was that it required a constant consumption of a large amount of mana to maintain.

This drawback was nothing to Fang Hong; his mana was exceptionally abundant, so even casting the Transformation Technique constantly would have no effect.

The reason Fang Hong used the Transformation Technique and changed his appearance was to guard against the Fallen Immortal Sect's spies.

He had killed Grand Elder Hu San, the Grand Elder of the Fallen Immortal Sect, back then, so the Fallen Immortal Sect must hate him to the bone, which meant he had to be careful when going out.

At this moment, Fang Hong had transformed into an old man with gray hair and beard, his back hunched, blending unnoticed into the crowd leaving the city.

He followed the flow of people onto a teleportation array, and as the array platform lit up with dazzling white light, his figure instantly disappeared from Qing Huang City, beginning his journey southward.

Ten days later, after multiple transfers and travels, Fang Hong had arrived on a certain island at the southernmost tip of the Azure Holy Continent.

This sea area was known as the Barbaric Strait; as long as one crossed this strait and flew south, they could reach the legendary Wilderness Continent.

However, the Barbaric Strait was vast, and even for the current Fang Hong, flying at full speed would probably take several years to reach his destination.

Naturally, Fang Hong didn't want to waste so much time on the journey, so reaching the Wilderness Continent via a secret teleportation array was the fastest route.

The Azure Emperor Holy Land had such a secret teleportation array, and as a high-ranking Grand Elder of the Holy Land, Fang Hong was naturally qualified to know this secret.

Fang Hong arrived at that secret deserted island, and with an whoosh through an advanced Teleportation Token, he was instantly teleported away.

...

In just a moment, Fang Hong's figure appeared in an unfamiliar cave, with a teleportation array platform beneath his feet.

The surrounding rock walls were bare, with only a few glowing high-grade dust-proof talismans pasted on the wall, indicating that no one had been there for a long time.

Fang Hong put away his Teleportation Token, and with a flash of his figure, instantly appeared high in the sky outside the cave.

Looking around, all he saw was a deep blue ocean, with giant waves stirring up water walls dozens of feet high, crashing violently against the reefs.

The small teleportation island where Fang Hong was located was hidden amidst the giant waves; if not for the restriction covering it, it would have probably been submerged by the seawater long ago.

Fang Hong identified the direction, and his figure vanished into thin air, fleeing southward; this place was still very far from the true Wilderness Continent.

After flying continuously for a month, Fang Hong finally set foot on the land of the Wilderness Continent.

Before Fang Hong's eyes appeared a dense mountain forest, with continuous mountains, towering ancient trees, and swirling clouds and mist.

A wild, primitive aura swept over him; the concentration of Heaven and Earth Origin Qi here was nearly 30% higher than on the Azure Holy Continent.

Fang Hong stood on an ancient tree, deep in thought.

He had two things he absolutely had to do on this trip to the Wilderness Continent.

The first was to hunt advanced Demon Beasts and feed them to the demon gourd to refine spirit pills and increase his cultivation.

The other was to explore the secret of that mysterious orb.

After a moment of thought, Fang Hong decided to first find a place where Demon Beasts gathered to settle down, learn more about the Wilderness Continent, and ideally obtain some maps.

The Wilderness Continent was known as a Forbidden Land for the Human, so humans didn't know much about this continent, let alone create detailed maps.

The only information Fang Hong currently knew was that the Wilderness Continent had four great Divine Beast clans: the Dragon Clan, the Phoenix Clan, the Black Tortoise Clan, and the White Tiger Clan.

These four great Divine Beast clans had a long inheritance, with numerous experts and formidable strength; with Fang Hong's current cultivation, he certainly wouldn't dare to provoke them.

Besides these four great Divine Beast clans, there were also some weaker Vicious Beast clans on the continent, such as the Centipede Clan, the Azure Lion Clan, the Black Bear Clan, and so on.

Although the strength of these clans was not comparable to the four great Divine Beasts, they should not be underestimated.

As for whether there were Mahayana stage powerhouses in these clans, Fang Hong was still unclear and could only slowly explore.

If there were no Mahayana powerhouses guarding these beast clans, then Fang Hong could handle them as he pleased, without needing to worry about anything.

Of course, this was the Wilderness Continent after all, so when hunting Demon Beasts, he must act discreetly and not engage in large-scale slaughter as before, to avoid attracting the attention of the four great Divine Beast clans with too much commotion, which would be troublesome.

Having finalized his plan, Fang Hong once again cast the Transformation Technique.

His bones crackled, and his figure rapidly changed, transforming into a green-skinned ox-headed monster in the blink of an eye, looking no different from a local Demon Beast at first glance.

When acting in the Wilderness Continent, it was better to take on the appearance of a Demon Beast.

Having completed his disguise, Fang Hong suppressed his aura and flew forward.

Fang Hong traveled through the mountain forest, simultaneously spreading his Divine Sense to search for places where Demon Beasts gathered.

Three days later, Fang Hong finally found a Demon Beast tribe.

This was a small snake clan tribe, with only one Soul Transformation Early Stage Old Ancestor in the clan, who was currently in seclusion cultivating in a secret chamber.

Fang Hong's Divine Sense had already silently perceived him, so with a flash of his figure, he instantly appeared before the snake clan Old Ancestor.

The snake clan Old Ancestor sensed something and abruptly opened his eyes; when he saw Fang Hong's figure, his face suddenly changed.

He wanted to say something, but found that he had been completely fixed in place, unable to even speak.

Fang Hong raised his hand and drew the snake clan Old Ancestor towards him, then began to cast a Soul Searching spell on him, reading his memories.

The snake clan Old Ancestor's eyes rolled back, and his body trembled.

A moment later, the soul search was complete, and Fang Hong killed the snake clan Old Ancestor, refining him into a spirit pill.

During this soul search, Fang Hong obtained a lot of useful intelligence.

First, he learned the ancient language of the Wilderness Continent, so he could now communicate with the various demon races in the ancient language of the Wilderness Continent, to avoid revealing any flaws.

Secondly, Fang Hong learned that his current location was in the Phoenix Domain, which was the area controlled by the Phoenix clan.

The headquarters of the Phoenix clan was on Phoenix Mountain, where there was a Sky Phoenix City, the most developed city in the Phoenix Domain.

Fang Hong noted this location; Sky Phoenix City had many teleportation arrays that could lead to various important cities in the Wilderness Continent.
