Chapter 347 - 347: Trouble
Little Rainbow, that little fellow, has already ascended for several decades. I wonder how he is doing?
In this vast Immortal Realm, it is quite difficult for Fang Hong to find Little Rainbow again; it is undoubtedly like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Fang Hong could only bury this longing in his heart, taking one step at a time, hoping that one day he could reunite with Little Rainbow.
Fang Hong reined in his wandering thoughts and stopped thinking about Little Rainbow.
He sat down cross-legged, slowly closed his eyes, and began to concentrate on comprehending Immortal Laws, wanting to further refine the Ten Thousand Laws Origin Demon Art.
The basic inheritance of the Eastern Luo Sect contained many excellent Immortal Laws, which covered various attributes such as metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
Moreover, each Immortal Law had a complete Cultivation system, capable of supporting a Cultivator to cultivate up to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.
With these Immortal Laws of different attributes and complete systems as reference, Fang Hong's thoughts became much clearer when refining the Ten Thousand Laws Origin Demon Art.
He could draw on the strengths of these Immortal Laws to make up for the shortcomings in his own cultivation technique, making the Ten Thousand Laws Origin Demon Art more perfect and more powerful.
Time flowed like water, quietly passing as Fang Hong devoted himself to cultivation.
In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.
During this half-year, Fang Hong devoted most of his energy to optimizing the Ten Thousand Laws Origin Demon Art.
After countless modifications and adjustments, the Ten Thousand Laws Origin Demon Art was once again perfected.
Whether in terms of the efficiency of Immortal Power circulation or the compatibility with various Immortal Power attributes, there was a significant improvement, enough to support him in Cultivating all the way to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.
In addition to optimizing the cultivation technique, Fang Hong also used this time to refine the Xuanjin Pills he had obtained earlier.
Under the nourishment of the medicinal power of the Xuanjin Pill, Fang Hong successfully opened the eighth Immortal Aperture, and his Cultivation officially broke through to the True Immortal Eighth Layer realm.
In terms of Immortal Artifacts, Fang Hong directly fed all the idle Immortal Artifacts in his hand to the soul severing sword.
The soul severing sword had risen from a grade One Immortal Artifact to a grade Five Immortal Artifact, its power increasing significantly, instantly becoming the highest grade Immortal Artifact in Fang Hong's possession.
Besides the soul severing sword, the demon soul banner also had a considerable harvest.
After killing Wang Hu and others, Fang Hong collected all their souls into the demon soul banner.
After absorbing these souls, the demon soul banner successfully advanced from its previous grade Two to a grade Three Immortal Artifact, its power also greatly increased, and its ability to summon and seize souls became even stronger.
As for the Swift Wind Wings, fire cloud gourd, Soul Nurturing Pearl, and several other commonly used Immortal Artifacts, they were still only grade One Immortal Artifacts.
Fang Hong currently did not have that many idle Immortal Artifacts or precious materials, so he could only temporarily put their upgrade plans on hold.
He would wait until he found suitable resources later before upgrading the grade of these Immortal Artifacts.
Especially the complete set of nirvana divine thunder swords, which made Fang Hong somewhat troubled, as the resources needed for upgrading were too many, and he would have to accumulate them slowly.
What Fang Hong cared about most was the years pearl, which contained the Law of Time.
Since the years pearl successfully advanced to an Immortal Artifact, Fang Hong had tried to prioritize upgrading it using the Spirit Devouring Secret Art, hoping to further improve its grade.
But no matter how he urged the Secret Technique, the years pearl remained unresponsive and could not absorb other Immortal Artifacts.
Fang Hong pondered for a long time before vaguely guessing the reason, perhaps because of the special nature of the Law of Time, which far surpassed other ordinary Laws.
To upgrade the years pearl again, he either had to cultivate the Law of Time to a higher realm, or find some Heaven And Earth Treasure that contained the Law of Time, in order to provide the impetus for the years pearl's advancement.
Otherwise, the Spirit Devouring Secret Art alone would not be able to upgrade it.
This day, Fang Hong was Cultivating a Aurora Sword Art within the years pearl.
This Aurora Sword Art was also one of the basic Legacies of the Eastern Luo Sect, a grade Four Immortal Art with powerful might.
The core of the sword art lay in transforming one's body into sword light, striking extremely fast, and having unparalleled sharp sword momentum.
Once Cultivated to the Great Success realm, with its astonishing speed and penetration, it was enough for a Cultivator at the True Immortal Perfection realm to kill enemies at the Golden Immortal Early Stage.
Such power was already considered top-tier among Immortal Arts of the same grade.
It was precisely because of the Aurora Sword Art's power that Fang Hong prioritized upgrading the soul severing sword.
The soul severing sword itself contained soul Cutting Power, which could directly attack the enemy's soul, while the Aurora Sword Art could maximize the speed and sharpness of the soul severing sword.
When the two were combined, they could form a dual attack on both the physical body and the soul, instantly increasing his combat power by a large margin.
In a certain open valley within the years pearl, countless sword lights crisscrossed, densely forming a net of sword light, with astonishing aura.
A moment later, Fang Hong finally stopped, and the surrounding sword lights quickly dissipated.
Fang Hong retrieved the soul severing sword, a satisfied smile on his face. After this period of arduous cultivation, the Aurora Sword Art had finally been cultivated to the Great Success realm by him.
Now, with the grade Five Immortal Artifact soul severing sword in hand, combined with the Great Success Aurora Sword Art, even when facing a Cultivator at the Golden Immortal Early Stage, he had the power to fight.
If he were to draw some grade Four Immortal Talismans in advance for backup, and unleash the Immortal Talismans to assist in battle at critical moments, killing a Golden Immortal Cultivator would not be impossible.
Thinking of this, Fang Hong felt a surge of exhilaration and flashed back to his Immortal Cave.
He currently still had six precious Immortal Pills: two True Immortal Perfection, two True Immortal Seventh Layer, and two True Immortal Eighth Layer.
These were all obtained from the demon gourd refining corpses when he participated in the Eastern Luo Sect's entrance examination. Each pill contained pure Immortal Power and was of great help in improving Cultivation.
Fang Hong originally planned to refine and absorb these Immortal Pills, using them to strive to break through to the True Immortal Ninth Layer as soon as possible, or even to impact the True Immortal Perfection realm.
But just as he was about to sit down cross-legged and prepare to begin refining the Immortal Pills, a tremor suddenly came from outside the Immortal Cave.
"Hmm? Someone is attacking my Immortal Cave?"
Fang Hong frowned slightly, flashed out of the years pearl space, and came to the entrance of the Immortal Cave, raising his hand to remove the outer defensive restriction.
As soon as the restriction disappeared, he saw a young man in yellow standing outside the Immortal Cave.
The young man in yellow was burly, exuding the Cultivation fluctuation of a True Immortal Perfection, with a hint of a smile on his face.
Fang Hong carefully observed the other party, confirming that he had never seen this young man in yellow before.
"Your Excellency, who are you? How dare you deliberately attack my Immortal Cave and disturb others' Cultivation? Are you not afraid of violating sect rules and being punished by the sect?" Fang Hong stared coldly at the young man in yellow and questioned him coldly.
The Eastern Luo Sect had clear regulations that sect disciples must be united and strictly forbidden from fighting privately within the sect.
If there were grudges or disputes between disciples, they could go to the arena specially set up by the sect to resolve them, stopping before serious injury.
If the enmity between the two sides was extremely deep, they could also engage in a life-and-death duel, but it needed to be conducted on a designated life-and-death platform. Private fights were absolutely not allowed, to avoid damaging property, and attacking others' Immortal Caves to disturb their Cultivation was even more forbidden.
