Cultivating To Immortality

"Great. Master succeeded." Su Shan’s tense nerves finally relaxed, and a brilliant smile appeared on her face.

Azure Emperor, who was in the air, heard the shouts of the Elders and disciples. Her previously stern expression softened, and a look of relief appeared at the corner of her mouth.

After many years of cultivation, she had finally overcome this difficult hurdle.

Azure Emperor secretly rejoiced in her heart. If it weren’t for the mysterious mark left by Daoist Fang’s Spiritual Beast for protection, and the assistance of the powerful Immortal Artifact, the Demon-Slaying Immortal Sword, it would have been truly difficult to say whether she could have survived this perilous True Immortal Tribulation with her own strength alone.

Buzz.

Just then, a gentle welcoming Immortal Light slowly descended from the black hole, softly falling upon Azure Emperor.

The moment the welcoming Immortal Light touched Azure Emperor’s body, a rich surge of Immortal Essence Power poured into her, and her depleted magical energy rapidly recovered.

Her aura also continuously climbed, and her entire demeanor became increasingly ethereal and sacred.

At this moment, Azure Emperor truly broke through her bottleneck and became a True Immortal. The gate of the Immortal Realm slowly opened behind the black hole, and everyone below worshipped and watched.

Azure Emperor looked down at the familiar Holy Land.

Afterward, she turned her gaze to the Holy Land’s Elders, as well as Fang Hong and Su Shan, and said gently, "Daoist Fang, my disciple, and all you Elders, I leave the Holy Land to you. If we are fated, we shall meet again in the Immortal Realm."

Fang Hong stood at the front of the crowd, looked at Azure Emperor, and nodded slightly, not saying much.

Su Shan conveyed to Azure Emperor through a sound transmission, "Master, take care."

"Farewell, Holy Lord."

"Farewell, Holy Lord."

"Farewell, Holy Lord."

Azure Emperor’s gaze was firm. Amidst everyone’s congratulations and farewells, she followed the welcoming Immortal Light and flew towards the black hole in the sky.

Her figure finally disappeared into the black hole, and the gate of the Immortal Realm slowly closed with her.

A moment later, the black clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and the usual tranquility was restored.

After Azure Emperor’s Ascension, Fang Hong became the new Holy Lord, governing the entire Holy Land.

The Holy Land quickly returned to its usual order. The disciples and Elders within the sect continued to cultivate and live as before, with no changes.

On the third day after Azure Emperor’s Ascension, Fang Hong once again used a Void Secret Technique to arrive at the Wilderness Continent.

He came to the Wilderness Continent this time for two reasons: first, to subdue the four great Divine Beast clans here, bring them under his control, and unify the entire Profound Fallen Realm.

Second, to visit the territories of the four great clans to see if they had any rare treasures or cultivation technique secret manuals hidden away from their many years of inheritance.

Dragon God Mountain Range, this is where the Dragon Clan Old Ancestors have cultivated in seclusion for many years.

Normally, unless personally permitted by an Old Ancestor, all Dragon Clan disciples are strictly forbidden from stepping even half a step into the Dragon God Mountain Range.

But just then, a powerful Divine Sense swept across the entire Dragon God Mountain Range.

This Divine Sense was too powerful, carrying a suppressive aura that overlooked all beings. The Dragon Clan Old Ancestors, who were in secluded cultivation, were instantly awakened by this Divine Sense.

Their hearts startled, they didn’t have time to think much. Their figures flashed, and they flew out of their respective Immortal Caves, instantly appearing high in the sky above the Dragon God Mountain Range, vigilantly scanning their surroundings.

Exactly twenty-five Dragon Clan Old Ancestors appeared high in the sky. The lowest in cultivation were at the Early Stage of Mahayana, while the highest reached the Peak Mahayana. There were men and women, dressed in various attires.

Among them, an old man in a golden robe stood at the very front. The aura he exuded was the most formidable among the twenty-five Old Ancestors.

The golden-robed old man was the current strongest Old Ancestor of the Dragon Clan, Long Ze, a Dragon Clan Old Ancestor who had already reached the Peak Mahayana Realm.

After the twenty-five Old Ancestors appeared, they all turned their gaze to the peak of a mountain.

There, a black-robed young man sat casually on a large rock, looking composed and at ease, as if he were merely enjoying the mountain scenery.

This black-robed young man was Fang Hong, who had come to the Dragon God Mountain Range alone.

As the secluded cultivation place for the Dragon Clan Old Ancestors, the defenses of the Dragon God Mountain Range were extremely strict.

No one had ever dared to intrude so boldly, yet Fang Hong had actually come here alone and was sitting so leisurely on the mountaintop. He could be said to be incredibly audacious.

"A Human Cultivator? And a Peak Mahayana Realm."

Several Dragon Clan Old Ancestors stared at Fang Hong, looking at each other with faces full of astonishment.

For a Human Cultivator to dare to trespass into the Dragon Clan Holy Land alone, wasn’t that a bit too arrogant?

Moreover, what puzzled them was how this person had managed to get in?

They had set up so many restrictions around the mountain range, yet they hadn’t detected any movement at all.

"Your Excellency, who exactly are you? What is your purpose in rashly intruding upon our Dragon Clan Holy Land?" Old Ancestor Long Ze stared intently at Fang Hong, asking in a serious tone.

He could clearly sense the profound aura emanating from Fang Hong, knowing that the opponent’s strength was by no means inferior to his own, and he dared not be careless in the slightest.

Fang Hong stood up from the rock and said calmly, "I’m here to make you submit."

As soon as Fang Hong uttered these words, the Dragon Clan Old Ancestors were momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha."

"Make us submit? Human, you are far too arrogant."

"I think you’ve come to die."

Several Old Ancestors laughed while glaring at Fang Hong, their eyes filled with disdain and mockery.

Only Old Ancestor Long Ze maintained a serious expression, staring fixedly at Fang Hong, feeling that things were not so simple.

Anyone who could trespass through the Dragon Clan’s restrictions alone and still utter such wild words could never be a fool who only knew how to boast.

The laughter gradually subsided. Seeing Old Ancestor Long Ze still looking solemn, the other Old Ancestors slowly put away the contempt on their faces and stared at Fang Hong with cold eyes.

Just then, an Old Ancestor seemed to recall something and pointed at Fang Hong, saying, "Decades ago, Elder Long Zhan disappeared without a trace while on a mission in a Secret Realm, and his whereabouts are still unknown."

"I suspect this matter might be related to this person."

Upon hearing this, the other Old Ancestors’ expressions instantly changed slightly, and they all fell into deep thought.

Upon careful consideration, such a possibility truly existed.

Elder Long Zhan’s Cultivation back then was at the Late Stage of Mahayana, ranking among the top combat powers within the clan.

For him to disappear into thin air, the perpetrator’s strength must have far surpassed his. And this Human Cultivator before them was at the Peak Mahayana Realm, indeed capable of killing Elder Long Zhan.

"Human, do you know our Dragon Clan’s Elder Long Zhan?" Old Ancestor Long Ze asked directly and to the point.

"I do. What happened in Hidden Dragon Valley back then was my doing." Fang Hong replied directly, without any concealment.

"What?"

Hearing Fang Hong’s frank admission, the Dragon Clan Old Ancestors instantly erupted in complete fury.

Their auras burst forth, and violent magical energy swept out. The previously clear sky instantly became gloomy and dark, fierce winds howled, and the earth trembled, as if a natural disaster had descended.
