Cultivating To Immortality

Fortunately, the God Capturing Pearl itself was a powerful Immortal Artifact, possessing extremely strong defensive capabilities. Otherwise, under the impact of such fierce battle aftermath, it would have surely been shattered into powder.

Time passed bit by bit. An hour later, the space within the God Capturing Pearl finally quieted down, and the earth-shattering battle had ended.

Looking at the scene within the space now, it was already a mess, with the surface scarred and devastated.

Everywhere were collapsed rocks and huge cracks; in some places, even a large expanse of scorching magma appeared, constantly churning and emitting a burning aura.

On a rock in a certain ruin, the twenty-five Dragon Clan Old Ancestors had reverted to human form.

They were all sprawled on the ground, their bodies covered with sword marks of varying depths, blood continuously seeping from their wounds, looking exceptionally miserable.

On the other side, Fang Hong sat on a rock, his clothes stained with a lot of blood, though it was all Dragon blood.

Although Fang Hong had also consumed a considerable amount of magical power in this battle, the Immortal Sword behind him still glowed, its sharpness undiminished.

Everyone had not died. Fang Hong’s main purpose on this trip was to subdue the four major clans, including the Dragon Clan, so he had no intention of killing them from the start.

If Fang Hong had truly gone all out, without mercy, these Old Ancestors would not have been able to last an hour; they would have probably perished under the Immortal Sword long ago.

"Submit, or I will refine all of your Dragon Clan into the demon soul banner, never to experience reincarnation."

Fang Hong stood up from the rock, and with his right hand, he conjured the demon soul banner, which emitted demonic light in all directions.

Everyone lay on the ground, their bodies trembling slightly, their hearts filled with dread. After the brutal battle just now, they had been thoroughly intimidated by Fang Hong.

Ultimately, everyone, in order to allow their clan to continue to survive and not be annihilated, could only choose to compromise.

They signed a powerfully binding Divine Soul contract with Fang Hong. From this moment on, the entire Dragon Clan would forever submit to Fang Hong and act on his behalf.

Ten days later, the everyone from Dragon Clan’s had fully recovered.

In a secret hall of the Dragon Clan, Fang Hong sat on the main seat in the center of the hall.

Everyone fron Dragon Clan’s sat on the stone chairs on both sides, their expressions respectful, reporting to Fang Hong about the other three Divine Beast clans of the Wilderness Continent.

The specific situations of the Phoenix Clan, Black Turtle Clan, and White Tiger Clan, from their overall strength and territorial distribution to the number of core combat forces, were all explained in detail one by one.

Fang Hong sat in the main seat, patiently listening to each Old Ancestor’s report, nodding slightly from time to time.

Based on all the information, the strength of the other three clans was inferior to that of the Dragon Clan, which gave him more confidence in his upcoming plans.

"Master, which clan should we deal with first?" Long Ze looked at Fang Hong and asked respectfully.

The other Old Ancestors also looked at Fang Hong, awaiting his decision.

Fang Hong slowly rose from the main seat and calmly said, "First, go catch those Phoenixes."

Upon hearing this, everyone’ expressions were somewhat strange. They exchanged glances, and their hearts began to feel sympathy for the Phoenix Clan.

They knew how terrifying Fang Hong’s strength was. Now that their Dragon Clan had completely submitted, and with Fang Hong personally leading the team, the Phoenix Clan probably had no power to resist at all.

Thus, in the following days, Fang Hong personally led the Dragon Clan and began the plan to subdue the other clans.

A month later, the Phoenix Clan, Black Turtle Clan, and White Tiger Clan had all submitted to Fang Hong.

At this point, all four Divine Beast clans on the Wilderness Continent had been subdued by Fang Hong.

These four clans controlled most of the territory and resources of the Wilderness Continent. Subduing them was equivalent to controlling the entire Wilderness Continent.

During this operation to subdue the four major clans, Fang Hong also specifically inspected the treasure vaults of each clan.

These Divine Beast clans, which had been passed down for countless years, indeed had many treasures hidden in their vaults, including some rare items that even Fang Hong found quite tempting.

For example, the inheritance cultivation techniques of the four Divine Beast clans—the Dragon Clan’s Divine Dragon Art, the Phoenix Clan’s Heavenly Phoenix Art, the Black Turtle Clan’s Black Tortoise Art, and the White Tiger Clan’s White Tiger Art.

These four cultivation techniques were all the treasure of their respective clans, considered top-tier cultivation techniques, and cultivating them to the extreme could lead to Immortal Ascension.

The cultivation techniques not only recorded cultivation methods but also contained many powerful moves.

Fang Hong planned to carefully study and learn them later to further enhance his combat power.

In addition to these four top-tier cultivation techniques, Fang Hong also obtained many extremely precious medicinal materials from the various treasure vaults, such as Nine Yang Ginseng, True Spirit Fruit, Ascension Lotus, and so on.

These spirit medicines were all rare and precious varieties, each with Heaven-Defying effects. Refining any one of them could lead to a rapid increase in cultivation.

However, most of these spirit medicines were not old enough. To unleash their maximum medicinal efficacy, they needed to be cultivated to tens of thousand years.

Fang Hong had the Immortal Artifact years pearl in his hand. He only needed to place these spirit medicines into the years pearl for cultivation, completely eliminating any concerns about their age.

It wouldn’t take long for these spirit medicines to reach their optimal state for use.

In a grand hall of the White Tiger Clan, the high-ranking Old Ancestors of the four Divine Beast clans were gathered, and the atmosphere in the hall was solemn and grave.

Fang Hong still sat in the main seat.

Below, on both sides, sat the twenty-five Old Ancestors of the Dragon Clan, the fifteen Old Ancestors of the Phoenix Clan, the eighteen Old Ancestors of the Black Turtle Clan, and the twenty Old Ancestors of the White Tiger Clan, totaling seventy-eight Mahayana Stage Old Ancestors.

Such a lineup, in the entire Profound Fallen Realm, was enough to sweep away all forces; no single power could contend with it.

Fang Hong had summoned them together for the purpose of discussing the upcoming attack on the Underground Demon Clan.

Now that the Wilderness Continent was under control, as long as the Underground Demon Clan was also subdued, he would be able to completely rule the entire Profound Fallen Realm.

"Hmm?"

Just as everyone were discussing how to attack the Underground Demon Clan, Fang Hong suddenly took out a jade talisman.

This was the communication jade talisman he had left for Su Shan before he left the Azure Emperor Holy Land, to be used only in emergencies.

Fang Hong’s Divine Sense probed into the jade talisman, and his face instantly darkened.

The jade talisman only displayed a short sentence: The Underground Demon Clan is launching a large-scale attack on the Azure Emperor Holy Land; the situation is critical.

At the same time, at the headquarters of the Azure Emperor Holy Land, the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Dozens of the Holy Land’s protective formations had all been activated.

Layers of formation barriers overlapped, completely enveloping the entire Azure Emperor Holy Land.

Inside the formation, all the Elders and disciples of the Azure Emperor Holy Land were gathered in the square, everyone’s face serious.

They held their weapons, standing ready, looking up at the high sky, prepared to fight at any moment. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

And Su Shan, the most powerful individual in the Holy Land, stood at the very front of the crowd.

Her gaze was fixed on the movements outside the formation, her Late Stage Mahayana cultivation released without reservation, doing her best to stabilize everyone’ minds.
