The harsh conditions that Fang Yuan suggested were only for probing.
Although Cheng Fei looked like he was in a difficult situation, he promptly agreed, showing that something was amiss.
“Hehe… Although it isn’t counted as betraying the sect by giving an adjunct elder a look at the profound cultivation techniques, it firmly touches the bottom line, skirting close to the edge! Even so, Cheng Fei could still achieve it. Looks like his relationship with others isn’t bad and has great capability in this aspect. This also shows that the battle this time isn’t an easy task. It might even be life-threatening.”
Fang Yuan gave a cold expression when he realized the sinister scheme within.
The danger here might even be higher than what Cheng Fei described!
Of course, this could not scare nor hinder him, instead increasing his curiosity.
“Looks like the fight to obtain the Deity Position this time has an inside story…”
…
Vast Ocean Sect, within a dazzling palace.
Abundant Spiritual Energy gathered, even forming a spiritual rain that sprinkled down, causing the surrounding unusual flora and fauna to thrive.
“Oh? He found a scapegoat. To think that Cheng Fei could still get away this time!”
Cross-legged on a sitting mat, a Daoist was looking at the jade slip in his hands and sighed.
“Senior Brother! Cheng Fei has selfishly moved the inheritance jade slip. This isn’t a small crime and we can still report him!” said a female cultivator with almond eyes and rosy cheeks by his side. She was also an Essence Soul Venerable.
“It’s useless. Since Cheng Fei dares do it, he must already have countermeasures… Not to mention, that adjunct elder has already left for the Valley of Fallen Gods and won’t be able to return. The sect’s cultivation techniques weren’t leaked to outsiders either!”
The Daoist shook his head.
“The competition for a Deity Position has also happened before, but is there something different this time?!” Seeing her senior brother’s expression, the female cultivator was shocked.
“Naturally… Do you know what kind of place the Valley of Fallen Gods is? If the competition this time was still the same as the previous ones, why would Cheng Fei try to evade it at all cost?”
The Daoist smiled, not saying much. “This time’s plan is considered finished, and we’ll have to let off Cheng Fei. From now on… sigh , one wrong move and the whole game is lost…”
The female cultivator looked pensive. “Senior Brother has unique talent. With your great foresight and planning, even Human Immortals would fall for your schemes. This time, all of Cheng Fei’s backup plans were disrupted, and even giving up the mission was a trap. We just couldn’t imagine that an Essence Soul cultivator would appear out of nowhere to save his life…”
“The heavens are boundless. How can I plan for everything?”
The Daoist sighed, looking slightly bleak.
…
“This is the Valley of Fallen Gods?”
After several days, Fang Yuan followed Cheng Fei and reached the mouth of a large valley.
Based on the looks of the earth veins… This valley has bad fengshui, even extremely terrible. Moreover, it seems that it wasn’t formed naturally, but was acquired afterward…
Light flashed across Fang Yuan’s eyes, immediately realizing many things.
A Dream Master’s cultivation could be considered omnipotent, with nothing left out. Not to mention, after he had awakened the specialization of Fiery Golden Eyes, he could see many things.
As for fengshui and so on, they were generally similar. At this moment, he was using the experience he had acquired in Da Qian for the Valley of Fallen Gods. This method was flawless.
“That’s right… Elder Fang, please wait a moment. The people of our sect, the Sun Leaving Sect, and the Luo Water Sect will be arriving shortly!”
Cheng Fei nodded and took out a few tokens. “These are the tokens for an adjunct elder and the cultivation techniques jade slip. Please take care of them properly!”
The certifying of an adjunct elder was much more relaxed compared to a true elder. The token could be activated just by dripping blood on it, fast and easy.
Fang Yuan could also tell that the forces of Cheng Fei’s Vast Ocean Sect were definitely not weak. Despite this, it was forced to such degree. It was obvious that their opponent was also not simple.
Moreover, the risks in the Valley of Fallen Gods were not trivial.
He did not activate the token, instead reaching for the cultivation techniques jade slip.
A hint of Essence Soul power entered. Immediately, a large gate appeared and directly crashed into his sea of consciousness.
Boom!
At the same time, the jade slip also made explosive sounds and turned into powder.
“The complete Vast Ocean Heart Manual is enough to cultivate all the way to Earth Immortal. How is it?” Cheng Fei said, smiling.
“It’s truly broad and profound!”
Fang Yuan made an emotional look. He was not worried about the jade slip exploding.
This sect’s cultivation techniques would naturally have several insurances.
“I have nothing to hide from Elder Fang, but there’s something you need to take note of. Aside from the cultivation techniques, there was also a restriction in the jade slip! If you spread the cultivation techniques of your own accord, it’ll immediately activate. And if you meet soul searching techniques, you’ll also automatically forget the cultivation techniques,” Cheng Fei solemnly said.
Generally, even if it was him, he could not go against the rules. Otherwise, what foundations were the immortal sects built with? The mortal world would be in chaos.
“That goes without saying. I’m all alone, so why would I need to leak the cultivation techniques…” Fang Yuan smiled.
In truth, the so-called restriction was naturally resolved when it entered his body, not affecting him one bit.
He had the Body of Origin Power. Even if he was injured, he was also thousands of times more powerful than Earth Immortals. It would be a joke if he was harmed.
“This Valley of Fallen Gods used to be a decent spiritual land. There were even sects that wanted to build their base here and set up a school. Unfortunately, a huge incident occurred and it became dangerous. Many terrifying and vicious monsters were born here. Occasionally, they would even come out to harm those living within a hundred kilometers. This time, we set this place as the combat location to simultaneously help eliminate the vicious spirits. It’ll also count as a merit…” Cheng Fei did his best to explain.
Not long after, a white light flashed in the sky, and a large sword carrying a group of people flew over…
This group of people were unexpectedly females wearing palace dresses, each ravishingly beautiful. It was as if hazy water vapor was blossoming from their pores.
“The Luo Water Sect is here!”
Cheng Fel nodded and went forward to welcome them. “I wonder which fairy came?”
“Luo Water Sect’s Luo Liying greets Fellow Daoists!”
At this time, the leading young girl walked forward and bowed respectfully toward Fang Yuan.
“It’s her!” Cheng Fei’s voice could suddenly be heard in Fang Yuan’s ears.
What? Is there a problem with this female? Fang Yuan thought.
“I’ve heard of her before. She’s the talent of the Luo Water Sect. When she was eight, she underwent Qi Refinement. At ten, she achieved Stellar Malignance. She’s only 16 years old now, but she has already broken through to Essence Soul!” Cheng Fei gasped in astonishment. “To think that the Luo Water Sect actually sent this girl…”
Logically, this genius was a sect’s hope and they could not wait to protect her. It should be impossible for the sect to ask this genius to risk her life in such a dangerous battle.
“You’re… the candidate of the Vast Ocean Sect?”
Luo Liying pressed her lips into a smile as she looked at Fang Yuan.
“That’s right. This is our new adjunct elder, Fang Yuan!” Cheng Fei introduced, not embarrassed at all.
“Brother Fang is spirited and abundant in energy, truly outstanding. I wonder where you cultivated?”
It was obvious that Luo Liying was very interested in Fang Yuan, and her beautiful eyes kept looking Fang Yuan up and down.
“As someone from the wild, I can set up a cave abode anywhere in the wilderness for cultivation seclusion. I hope you don’t mind me, Fairy…” Fang Yuan was watertight in answering her.
Suddenly, a red glow flashed.
A giant, purple-gold horse carriage appeared. It was being pulled by fire-red horses that were flying in the sky and spitting black smoke. It stopped in front of the Valley of Fallen Gods.
“It’s the people from the Sun Leaving Sect! This is their treasure, Dragon-horse Flying Carriage. Its flies ten times faster than an Essence Soul Venerable!”
Cheng Fei nodded, looking up and down at the figures that came down from the carriage.
“Haha… So it’s Youngster Cheng and Niece Luo!”
The one taking the lead was a dwarf less than three feet tall. However, Cheng Fei’s face changed instantly as he went forward to bow and greet, “Greetings, Human Immortal Red Sun. It’s actually you leading the team yourself. Truly unexpected…”
This is a Human Immortal!
Fang Yuan’s eyes gleamed.
In the Spiritual Realm, cultivators were divided into True Cultivators and Immortal Cultivators.
True Cultivators were merely Qi Refinement, Stellar Malignance, and Essence Soul. At best, they could only reincarnate.
However, it was a step onto the Immortal Cultivator path once they ascended to a Human Immortal. From then on, their bodies would be perfect and their longevity much longer.
Purely from the perspective of Elemental Spiritual Energy Cultivation Technique, Human Immortal is the fourth layer. With its remarkable power, a spiritual field is already nearing a Domainer’s traits. Great! With this person as the blueprint, and with reference to the Vast Ocean Heart Manual, I can completely revise the Elemental Spiritual Energy Cultivation Technique, even completely adapting to the Spiritual World’s rules!
Of course, the Elemental Spiritual Energy Cultivation Technique only currently had five levels.
This meant that unless he obtained higher cultivation techniques to deduce the latter realms, he could only play the role of an ‘Earth Immortal Patriarch’. Even if he fully recovered, he would not be able to use his body’s strength.
Otherwise, him being related the Mental Demon Realm would be inevitable discovered, causing unexpected trouble.
“Haha… Forget it, forget it!”
Human Immortal Red Sun had a vermilion jade-like face, his voice like a large bell. “Luo Water Sect’s Luo Water Earth Immortal is someone I’ve always admired. To send out Niece Liyi, she must have deeply considered and be determined to win. On the other hand, the Vast Ocean Sect has always liked to do such impractical things…”
To be described in such a way by a Human Immortal, Cheng Fei was ashamed but could only bitterly smile.
At this time, another Essence Soul Venerable came down from the dragon-horse carriage. Clearly, he was a candidate for the competition, looking honest and completely ordinary. It was as though he was someone unlucky like Cheng Fei and also forced to compete.
Suddenly, a grand voice arrived. “The three sects have arrived. The Valley of Fallen Gods can be activated!”
Fang Yuan shot a glance and immediately saw a God that seemed to appear from thin air. His expression was strict, and he was dressed in a governmental attire, with many God officials and functionaries following behind. His ostentation had completely pushed the Immortal Dao down.
“This is the Xi Nation’s City God? He truly possesses great strength and has the fate of Xi Nation… However, it seems to be in a limited area. In Xi Nation, even an Earth Immortal couldn’t do anything to him. However, once he’s out of Xi Nation, there’s little difference from an Essence Soul Venerable!”
This Divine Dao caused Fang Yuan to think of another type of existence, Earthly Gods!
Gods that were limited to a certain area!
Although they could not go out in the world, they had remarkable abilities and limitless power as long as they were inside their area.
