Cultivating To Immortality

Fang Hong arrived in a spacious secret chamber, his figure flickered, and he entered the internal space of the years pearl, arriving at the medicine valley where the immortal spirit flowers were planted.

As soon as he reached the valley, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the immortal spirit flowers he had planted some time ago had already sprouted seedlings, which were surrounded by a faint glow, looking exceptionally vibrant.

Seeing the immortal spirit flower seedlings growing smoothly, Fang Hong's hanging heart finally settled.

Subsequently, Fang Hong could boldly pick the remaining nine seeds.

As expected, once all the seeds were picked, that immortal spirit flower instantly began to wither, and in just a few breaths, it transformed into a streak of spiritual light and vanished between heaven and earth.

Fang Hong didn't care about this; out with the old, in with the new. It didn't matter that this immortal spirit flower disappeared; with these nine seeds, he could cultivate many more immortal spirit flowers in the future.

Fang Hong planted the nine seeds in the soil and instructed the puppets to guard the medicine valley day and night, carefully looking after it to ensure the immortal spirit flowers could sprout and grow successfully.

After dealing with the seeds, Fang Hong turned and left the medicine valley, heading to another empty valley within the years pearl.

The valley was enveloped by heavy restrictions, and on the open ground of the valley, four massive corpses lay quietly, which were the bodies of the four Divine Beast Old Ancestors he had previously slain.

Now that everything was ready, it was time to properly handle them.

These four Divine Beast Old Ancestors were all Late Stage Mahayana powerhouses during their lives, and their entire bodies were treasures.

Dragon scales, Dragon blood, tiger skin, Phoenix wings, and so on—each was a rare Heaven And Earth Treasure, and Fang Hong naturally wouldn't waste them.

About half an hour later, Fang Hong finally finished collecting some precious materials, then took out the demon gourd and sucked the four Divine Beast corpses into it.

Buzz. Buzz. Buzz.

A moment later, the demon gourd spewed out four golden, shimmering spirit pills, which floated in front of Fang Hong.

As soon as the spirit pills appeared, an extremely dense Origin Qi fluctuation swept through the entire valley, and the surrounding Heaven And Earth Origin Qi also became restless!

Fang Hong nodded with satisfaction; as expected of Late Stage Mahayana spirit pills, the pure Origin Qi they contained was indeed astonishing. After refining them, his cultivation would be able to advance further.

Fang Hong carefully put away the four spirit pills. Besides the Divine Beast corpses, Fang Hong also obtained the heavenly spiritual treasures of the four Old Ancestors.

There were a total of four heavenly spiritual treasures: the Heaven-Slaying Blade, the Golden Origin Axe, a pair of gauntlets, and the Fire God Whip.

These four were all high-grade heavenly spiritual treasures, not low in level, but Fang Hong found them awkward to use, so he planned to feed them to his own heavenly spiritual treasure.

As for which heavenly spiritual treasure to feed them to, Fang Hong pondered for a while and decided to feed them to the years pearl.

The years pearl could accelerate the cultivation of spirit medicine, and its Divine Power was powerful, so it should be prioritized for advancement. This way, it could cultivate more immortal spirit flowers faster.

For Fang Hong now, the Immortal Qi emitted by the immortal spirit flowers was the most precious treasure.

This directly related to whether he could refine Immortal Artifacts and Immortal Pills, which was crucial for his future cultivation path.

Having made up his mind, Fang Hong flashed out of the years pearl, held the years pearl in his palm, and began to cast the Spirit Devouring Secret Art.

After a while, as the last stream of light merged into the pearl's body, the years pearl successfully had the Devouring Spirit Secret markings attached to it.

Fang Hong no longer delayed, placing the four heavenly spiritual treasures one by one beside the years pearl.

Under Fang Hong's precise control of his magic power, the Devouring Spirit Secret Markings on the surface of the years pearl suddenly lit up, and thin spiritual threads extended from the precious pearl, coiling around the four heavenly spiritual treasures next to it.

As the spiritual threads pulled, the spirituality within the spiritual treasures was slowly extracted, flowing along the spiritual threads into the years pearl, and the precious light of the years pearl also became increasingly dazzling.

A month later, the years pearl successfully devoured the four heavenly spiritual treasures.

It indeed did not disappoint Fang Hong, successfully advancing into the ranks of top-grade heavenly spiritual treasures, and the power it exuded was more than a notch stronger than before.

After advancing, the time acceleration ability of the years pearl also saw a leap, now able to speed up the flow of time by one thousand five hundred times.

This meant that for every year that passed in the outside world, the years pearl could accelerate the growth of spirit medicine by one thousand five hundred years.

In this way, if Fang Hong wanted to cultivate a ten-thousand-year-old spirit medicine, it would only take seven years.

Fang Hong set up a stable formation restriction in the corner of his Immortal Cave and placed the years pearl in the center of the formation.

He kept it running constantly to continuously accelerate the cultivation of those precious spirit medicine, maximizing its effect.

After finishing with the years pearl, Fang Hong flashed into the Star Tower and brought out the demon soul banner.

This time, he entered the Star Tower intending to properly deal with the demon souls of the four Divine Beast Old Ancestors he had previously captured, to make the power of the demon soul banner even greater.

Fang Hong originally wanted to directly use the Soul-Searching Technique on these four demon souls to uncover some secrets about the Divine Beast race from their memories.

After all, these Old Ancestors had lived for a long time and must have known many hidden secrets.

However, just as he was about to act, he discovered that a powerful restriction was hidden within each of these four demon souls, exactly like the Phoenix Elder's demon soul he had encountered last time.

If he forcibly activated the Soul-Searching Technique and triggered this restriction, these four demon souls would instantly self-annihilate, and he would end up with nothing.

Seeing this, Fang Hong couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

These Old Ancestors of the Divine Beast race had made full preparations to protect the core secrets of their clan.

Even if they died and their souls scattered, they were unwilling to let the clan's secrets fall into the hands of outsiders.

That's why they planted such a vicious restriction in their demon souls, which was truly ruthless and decisive.

Fang Hong didn't want to waste these four powerful demon souls, so he didn't forcibly search their souls.

Since the path of soul-searching was blocked, he could only refine them into the demon soul banner, allowing the demon soul banner to advance. This could also be considered another final destination for these four demon souls.

Having made up his mind, Fang Hong no longer hesitated and began to circulate his cultivation technique, preparing to refine the demon souls into the demon soul banner.

Time flew by, and unknowingly, another three months passed.

During these three months, Fang Hong spent almost all his time in the Star Tower, concentrating on refining treasures.

Under his careful refining, the demon soul banner successfully absorbed the demon souls of the four Old Ancestors, successfully advancing to the level of top-grade heavenly spiritual treasure, and its power greatly increased.

In addition, Fang Hong once again merged the Phoenix wings of the Phoenix Old Ancestor into his Swift Wind Wings.

This Fusion, as expected, did not disappoint him. The Swift Wind Wings also successfully broke through its bottleneck and advanced into the ranks of top-grade heavenly spiritual treasures.

At this point, Fang Hong already possessed three top-grade heavenly spiritual treasures: the years pearl, the demon soul banner, and the Swift Wind Wings.

These three spiritual treasures each had their strengths, and when combined, they greatly enhanced his overall strength.

One more step beyond top-grade heavenly spiritual treasure would be the legendary Immortal Artifacts.
