Cultivating To Immortality

"Ahhh. Such terrifying demonic qi, my soul is so uncomfortable."

"No, don’t! I don’t want treasures anymore, please let me go, I’ll leave this place right now."

Screams of agony echoed one after another in the great hall.

Those True Immortal cultivators with lower cultivation levels simply couldn’t withstand the demonic qi erosion and pressure suppression emitted by the demon soul banner.

In just an instant, their souls were forcibly sucked away by the skeleton artifact spirit, and their bodies, devoid of souls, fell to the ground, turning into corpses.

As for the dozens of Golden Immortal Cultivators with slightly higher cultivation, their situation was a little better than the True Immortal cultivators; they could still barely resist the demon soul banner’s devouring with their own cultivation.

However, the Immortal Power within them was greatly reduced under the demon soul banner’s suppression and erosion, their faces turned pale, and their battle intent significantly decreased.

"Quick. Everyone, let’s attack together, quickly kill this demon monk." a Golden Immortal Middle Stage Cultivator shouted urgently.

Hearing this, the other Golden Immortal Cultivators quickly reacted.

They endured the discomfort caused by the loss of Immortal Power in their bodies, swiftly summoned their Immortal Artifacts, and launched a fierce siege against Fang Hong.

For a time, Immortal Power lights of various colors bloomed in the great hall, and countless attacks swept towards Fang Hong.

Facing the siege of the Everyone, Fang Hong appeared very composed.

Fang Hong had already deployed his other seventh-grade Immortal Artifact, the Swift Wind Wings.

The Swift Wind Wings flapped, bringing forth strong gusts of wind, making Fang Hong’s speed extremely fast, transforming him into streaks of afterimages that shuttled through the great hall.

Even the three Golden Immortal Late Stage Cultivators with the highest cultivation couldn’t keep up with Fang Hong’s speed, let alone launch effective attacks against him.

Fang Hong didn’t want to get too entangled with these Cultivators and intended to finish the fight quickly.

He swiftly summoned the soul severing sword and unleashed the Aurora Swordplay.

In an instant, Fang Hong’s figure disappeared from its original spot, transforming into countless black and white sword shadows.

These sword shadows were incomparably sharp, carrying a biting Sword Qi, wildly slashing throughout the entire great hall.

"Ahhhh."

"No. My hand."

Screams of agony once again resounded in the great hall.

The extreme speed brought by the seventh-grade Swift Wind Wings, combined with the sharpness of the seventh-grade soul severing sword and the Aurora Sword Technique, left the Golden Immortal Early Stage and Middle Stage Cultivators with no power to resist.

Wherever the sword shadows passed, their defenses were easily cut open, their bodies were shredded by the Sword Qi, and their souls, like the True Immortal cultivators before them, were sucked away by the skeleton artifact spirit, causing them to fall to the ground and turn into corpses.

In the blink of an eye, only the three Golden Immortal Late Stage Cultivators remained alive in the entire great hall; all other Cultivators had been slain by Fang Hong.

Hundreds of corpses lay horizontally in the great hall, a truly gruesome sight.

"Damn it, how is this monk not touched by any Buddhist teachings, but instead specializes in murderous Immortal Rank techniques."

"He’s truly a demon monk."

"This person’s Immortal Artifacts are too powerful, escape quickly."

The remaining three Golden Immortal Late Stage Cultivators looked terrified. The suppression of the demon soul banner had reduced their Immortal Power too much, making them no match for Fang Hong.

All battle intent vanished from their hearts, and they immediately cast escape techniques, wanting to flee this place.

However, how could Fang Hong just watch his prey escape from right under his nose?

He raised his hand, and dark light quickly condensed on his fingertips. In a few instants, he unleashed three Dark Demon Fingers.

Three purple beams of light shot out, and before the three could react, they had already pierced through their heads.

With a few muffled thuds, the three fell from the air before they could even scream, ending the battle.

The skeleton artifact spirit on the side had long been prepared. Seeing that the three had perished, it immediately floated forward, opened its mouth, and sucked away their souls, giving them no chance to escape.

Following this, Fang Hong wasted no more time. He raised his hand and swept it around the great hall, collecting all the corpses, including their Immortal Artifacts and Immortal Stones, into the years pearl.

Having completed all this, Fang Hong cast the Void Secret Technique. His figure blurred, and in a blink of an eye, he vanished within this Ancient Tomb space.

Not long after, many Cultivators who had heard the news successively entered this great hall.

They had all harbored thoughts of finding treasure, but upon entering the hall, they were stunned by the sight before them.

The great hall was in a mess, with a large amount of blood on the ground and many damaged marks on the walls.

Everyone’s heart sank, and they instantly realized that the treasures here had probably already been taken by someone who got there first.

Disappointment filled the faces of the Everyone, and some, unwilling to give up, searched around the great hall.

But in the end, they found nothing and could only sigh helplessly, leaving the now valueless Ancient Tomb in twos and threes.

After leaving the Ancient Tomb, Fang Hong immediately found a secluded small mountain peak, opened up a temporary Immortal Cave, and entered the years pearl space to tally his gains from this trip. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Fang Hong first checked the storage ring left by the tomb owner. As a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, the tomb owner’s storage ring must contain many good things.

Indeed, after opening the storage ring, Fang Hong revealed a satisfied smile.

Inside the storage ring were various Immortal Medicines, Immortal Medicine seeds, pill formulas, secret techniques for refining puppets, and so on.

Among these treasures, Fang Hong immediately set his eyes on the Immortal Medicines, Immortal Medicine seeds, and pill formulas.

These items were of great help for improving his current cultivation and were much more practical than other treasures.

What surprised Fang Hong even more was that he actually found three precious Immortal Medicines—Wood Emperor Mushroom, Hypericum, and Purple Water Lotus—in a corner of the storage ring.

These three Immortal Medicines, like the fire bodhi fruit he had obtained earlier, were treasures nurtured by the Five Elements Qi between heaven and earth.

As long as he refined them, he would be able to condense Golden, Wood, and Water Law meridians within his body, respectively.

With each additional Law meridian, his own strength would greatly increase, and his Immortal Aperture could also expand once more.

Counting it this way, as long as he refined all three of these Immortal Medicines, his Immortal Aperture could expand three times.

The tomb owner was a Grand Unity Golden Immortal Rank Cultivator, so these Immortal Medicines were likely remnants from when the tomb owner used them.

Besides the three precious Immortal Medicines, Fang Hong also discovered many Immortal Medicine seeds in jade bottles within the storage ring.

These seeds were of various types, many of which he had never seen before, clearly very rare varieties.

He carefully put these seeds away, planning to plant them in the Medicine Valley for cultivation later.

Next, Fang Hong examined the pill formulas left by the tomb owner, growing more and more delighted as he read. Several of the pill formulas were exactly what he could use right now.

For example, the Azure Nether Pill, Dragon Tiger Pill, Giant Aperture Pill, and so on—these medicinal pills were all fifth or sixth-grade Immortal Pills, not low in rank.

As long as they could be successfully refined, consuming them would have a significant effect on improving cultivation.

Moreover, when Fang Hong was looking through the pill formulas, he also noticed that the main medicinal ingredients required to refine these Immortal Pills were precisely the Immortal Medicine seeds he had just discovered.

Fang Hong instantly understood that the tomb owner had already refined these Immortal Pills back then.

After cultivating the Immortal Medicines to maturity, the tomb owner had specifically kept some Immortal Medicine seeds for unforeseen needs.
