Cultivating To Immortality

Just then, Fang Hong’s gaze suddenly turned towards the direction where the last demonic emperor was hiding, and his deep eyes instantly pierced through the void, directly striking people’s hearts.

The Phantom Wolf Emperor, who was peeking from inside the cave, was struck as if by lightning, suddenly opened his eyes, and his hair stood on end.

The Phantom Wolf Emperor felt a powerful aura had locked onto him, an aura that made him unable to breathe.

It dared not hesitate in the slightest, scrambling out of the cave and unleashing the fastest escape technique of his life, transforming into a streak of light and frantically fleeing into the distance.

On the other side, Fang Hong looked at the last demonic emperor hidden behind the rocks, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"So that little wolf is still lingering nearby. In that case, I’ll go collect you."

With that, Fang Hong raised his hand and gently waved it at the Star Tower.

The towering giant pagoda, which reached into the clouds, suddenly contracted violently, its body continuously shrinking.

The pagoda, originally thousands of feet tall, instantly shrank to the size of a palm, transforming into a streak of light and flying into his palm.

Immediately after, Fang Hong conjured the fire cloud gourd, and a red light burst from its mouth, sucking in the shrunken Star Tower, intending to let the fire cloud gourd slowly refine it first.

After retrieving the fire cloud gourd, Fang Hong’s figure suddenly transformed into an afterimage, disappearing from his original spot.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

Fang Hong traversed tens of thousands of miles, descending from the sky and landing steadily in front of the Phantom Wolf Emperor, blocking his path.

"Ahhh."

Seeing Fang Hong suddenly appear, the Phantom Wolf Emperor was almost scared to the point of his soul flying away and spirit scattering, his face instantly turning pale, and his body trembling uncontrollably.

"Phantom Wolf Emperor, we meet again."

Fang Hong stood calmly with his arms crossed, a faint smile on his face.

"A Void Refining Stage Cultivator."

The Phantom Wolf Emperor sensed the aura emanating from Fang Hong, and despair filled his heart.

The Phantom Wolf Emperor trembled all over. He gritted his teeth, suppressed his fear, and unleashed his final escape method.

He suddenly erupted in dazzling white light, and countless light specks flew out from his body. With a series of strange sounds, hundreds of identical illusory figures split off.

Each one carried real magic power fluctuations, frantically fleeing in all directions.

This was the Phantom Wolf Race’s life-saving technique; as long as one illusory figure could escape, he could reconstruct his physical body and save his life.

"Is this the Phantom Wolf Race’s Illusion Technique? It certainly has some tricks, but unfortunately, you met me." Fang Hong chuckled, his expression still calm.

He slowly raised his right hand, and a pitch-black vortex suddenly appeared in his palm, and a terrifying suction force erupted.

The fleeing illusory figures were involuntarily pulled backward, unable to break free no matter how much they struggled.

In an instant, hundreds of illusory figures surged back like a tide, re-condensing into the Phantom Wolf Emperor’s main body.

Fang Hong reached out and single-handedly grabbed the Phantom Wolf Emperor’s neck, lifting him into the air.

"Ugh. Ahhh. My lord, please spare me."

"This junior is willing to surrender. You can take me back to guard the gate or protect your Immortal Cave. Please be merciful and let me live."

The Phantom Wolf Emperor’s face turned purple, his eyes filled with terror.

"Your strength is too weak to guard a gate." Fang Hong responded with a faint smile, then directly performed Soul Searching on him.

After the Soul Searching was complete, Fang Hong killed him and fed him to the demon gourd, refining him into a spirit pill.

Having dealt with the Phantom Wolf Emperor, Fang Hong flew up and headed in the direction of the Phantom Wolf Emperor’s Immortal Cave from his memory.

He planned to thoroughly search the Immortal Caves of the Fire Dragon Emperor, Poison Dragon Emperor, Azure Leaf Elephant Emperor, and Earth Rock Turtle Emperor one by one. After all, these Demonic Emperors had cultivated for many years, and there might be some treasures hidden within their Immortal Caves.

With the death of the Phantom Wolf Emperor, the high-ranking members of the entire Eastern Region’s demon race were essentially wiped out by Fang Hong.

Only those Nascent Soul Stage Demon Beasts were left without a leader, their strength significantly reduced, no longer posing any threat to the human’s territory.

Fang Hong soared high in the sky, feeling exceptionally relaxed.

Recalling his more than two years of secluded cultivation, he first refined all the medicinal pills on him, and his cultivation smoothly broke through to the peak of the Divine Transformation Stage.

Thus, Fang Hong began to take five Breaking Void Pills, attempting to assault the Void Refining realm.

The Void Refining realm is about further developing the Nascent Soul within the body, refining wisdom, and further mobilizing the Origin Qi of heaven and earth.

Fang Hong originally only intended to attempt the breakthrough, but unexpectedly, after taking the Breaking Void Pills, the Nascent Soul in his body frantically absorbed the medicinal power of the pills.

In just two months, he completed his transformation and actually smoothly broke through to the Early Stage of Void Refining, with no bottleneck or obstruction in the process.

Such a smooth advancement left Fang Hong stunned for a while, somewhat disbelieving. After testing, he discovered that he had indeed broke through to the Early Stage of Void Refining.

Upon careful consideration, Fang Hong finally understood.

Ever since he ate the Heaven Mending Pill, his already unique mutated spiritual root had become even more powerful, which made the breakthrough so smooth.

This also gave Fang Hong greater confidence in his future cultivation path.

At this moment, in the dantian space, Fang Hong’s Nascent Soul sat cross-legged on a lotus platform, its appearance now identical to Fang Hong’s current self, essentially another Fang Hong; this was a manifestation of the Nascent Soul’s growth. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

On the lotus platform, four lotus leaves glowed brightly, emitting a soft light.

This represented that Fang Hong’s Ten Thousand Laws Origin Demon Art had been cultivated to the fourth level, which perfectly corresponded to the Early Stage of Void Refining realm.

Of course, it was still the same as before.

Through the Dragon Suppressing Cauldron’s daily tempering and the Soul Nurturing Pearl’s nourishment of his Divine Sense, his physical body strength and Divine Sense cultivation had already reached the Middle Stage of Void Refining level, far surpassing cultivators of the same realm.

In addition to the increase in his cultivation, Fang Hong also performed the Spirit Devouring Secret Art, feeding his idle spiritual artifacts and spiritual treasures one by one to the fire cloud gourd.

Under such nourishment, the fire cloud gourd finally successfully advanced to a high-grade spiritual treasure, and the power of its Divine Power also greatly increased, which is why it could re-refine the Star Tower.

Along the way, Fang Hong had accumulated many heavy treasures.

Top-grade spiritual artifact, Soul Nurturing Pearl; mid-grade spiritual treasure, Heavenly Thunder Needle.

High-grade spiritual treasures, soul severing sword, fire cloud gourd, demon soul banner, Swift Wind Wings, Star Tower.

Top-grade spiritual treasure, Dragon Suppressing Cauldron; and the most important, the demon gourd.

If some body integration old monster knew he had so many treasures, he would probably be relentlessly pursued, wouldn’t he?

...

Two months later, Fang Hong had almost traveled across the entire Eastern Region, having plundered the Immortal Caves of several Demonic Emperors.

At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged inside the Fire Flood Dragon’s Immortal Cave, with a pile of spiritual artifacts in front of him, estimated to be about three hundred pieces.

These were the spoils of war he had plundered from the several Demonic Emperors. Besides these spiritual artifacts, there were also a large number of spirit stones and other miscellaneous items, but they were of no use to him.

Fang Hong conjured the Heavenly Thunder Needle and began to perform the Spirit Devouring Secret Art on it, intending to feed it all these spiritual artifacts.

An hour later, the Spirit Devouring secret pattern was successfully engraved, and the Heavenly Thunder Needle had already begun to devour the low-grade spiritual artifacts.

Seeing this, Fang Hong no longer paid attention to it, letting it slowly absorb on its own.

Fang Hong took out a large pile of books nearby. These were ancient texts left by the Gray-robed Old Man of the Star Tower. He had been busy with secluded cultivation for some time and hadn’t had time to read them.

Now that he had free time, he could look through them.
