The origin of the divine dragon, the origin of the phoenix, and the fire god jade.
These three artifacts have always been remembered in the form of legends.
Now, the three divine artifacts are all within Fang Yu’s body, and they have fused together in an extremely harmonious way.
Is this just a coincidence, or is it destiny as Lihuoyuji said?
Fang Yu suddenly remembered that Lin Batian had also said something similar before.
Fate, after all, what is it destined to bring?
Am I destined to acquire these legendary artifacts?
What can be done after obtaining it?
After nearly five thousand years of living in this world, Fang Yu had practically no opponents.
The concept of strength and weakness no longer held much significance for him.
He left the realm of fire jade and returned to reality.
After a long wait, when Qi Ruqing saw Fang Yu come out, she was delighted at first, then surprised.
She saw that around Fang Yu’s body, a mass of crimson flames was swirling.
Fang Yu noticed Qi Ruqing’s gaze and, looking to the side, also saw the flames.
He knew this was most likely a transformation of the lihuay.
With a thought, the flame vanished instantly.
“Mr. Fang Yu, how is everything… going?” asked Qi Ruoqing.
“Well, not bad.” Fang Yu nodded and said, “We can prepare to go to the next place.”
“Being too greedy will only lead to self-destruction.”
At this moment, a voice from the ruins’ will echoed around them.
“How can that be considered greedy? These things wouldn’t belong to anyone else if I didn’t take them. I’m rescuing these treasures, taking them out of this cursed place so they can fulfill their purpose…” Fang Yu argued.
“The ruins have a decree, only one person can obtain a treasure. Your chance is already used. Now, you should leave.” The Ruin’s will spoke.
“The rules can be changed, I came all this way…” Fang Yu was speaking, but he suddenly felt a whirlpool appear beneath his feet.
On the side, Qi Ruqing let out a soft cry and reached out to embrace Fang Yu’s arm.
“Old man, you can’t drive me out. I’ll be right back…” Fang Yu gritted his teeth and said.
The Ruinous Will did not answer.
The next second, Fang Yu and Qi Ruoqing were both sucked into the vortex and vanished.
……
After a dizzying spell, Fang Yu and Qi Ruqing returned to the precipice at the mouth of the narrow path.
“This old man’s space tunnel is so poorly built…” Fang Yu muttered, then looked ahead and froze.
The original iron cable bridge, and the gray sky on the opposite bank, were no longer visible.
In its place was a bottomless abyss of darkness.
Ruins… disappeared?
Fang Yu released his divine sense and probed forward.
This time, consciousness did not encounter any obstacles like walls and could move forward continuously.
But ahead, all is abyss. Further on lies a primordial mountain range.
Fang Yu frowned, opened his Insight Eye again, and looked forward.
The wasteland, just vanished.
How is this done?
Fang Yu widened his eyes, a hint of astonishment in them.
At this time, Qi Ruqing also followed Fang Yu and looked ahead.
“Can you see the other side?” Fang Yu asked.
Qi Ruqing didn’t understand Fang Yu’s question and nodded blankly, saying, “Sure.”
“Can you see the gray sky across from here? And the iron suspension bridge or something?” Fang Yu pressed.
“Well… it’s just like when we came.” Qi Ruqing nodded.
“What the old man said is true… a person only has a chance to obtain one treasure… once it’s used, it’s gone, and even the ruins become invisible… As for those who don’t obtain the treasure, they can still see the ruins.” Fang Yu widened his eyes, staring at the void before him.
Given his years of cultivation and knowledge gained… he couldn’t understand how this was done.
To know, Fang Yu’s knowledge, from the tribulation period to the Qi refining period, there are almost no blind spots.
When he encounters things he cannot understand… it can only mean…
The ruins before us could very well be a patch of land left behind by immortals.
Maybe only by mastering all sorts of laws, even those that can reverse life and death, like immortal arts… could one achieve this level.
Fang Yu stared blankly at the abyss ahead, his eyes flickering uncertainly.
As someone who has never left the Qi Refining Stage, the concepts of immortals and immortal arts seem far too distant.
No matter how hard I try, I can’t figure it out.
The only thing that can be certain is that there are still other treasures in the ruins.
But… perhaps Fang Yu might not have a chance to get it after all.
“Come on, I’ll walk you out.” Fang Yu summoned the Xuan Ran Qi and transformed it into an imperial battle chariot.
Fang Yu and Qi Ruoqing got into the tank. The tank rose up and charged towards the narrow passage.
After the tank left, a pair of eyes suddenly appeared in mid-air opposite the cliff face.
These eyes were grayish-white, and had a rather unsettling look.
It stared in the direction Fang Yu left, its eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.
……
Sitting atop the tank, Fang Yu once again delved into introspection.
After absorbing the fiery jade, he found his cultivation realm had soared five levels!
“I’m now at the 10,060th layer of the Qi Refining Stage…” Fang Yu thought to himself.
“Your current realm has obviously surpassed the Qi Condensation Stage.”
At this moment, a sudden voice broke the silence. It was Huoyù speaking.
“Beyond the Qi Condensation Stage?” Hearing this, Fang Yu’s heart skipped a beat, and he asked, “Can you tell what realm I’m in?”
“No, but you definitely aren’t in the Qi Condensation Stage,” Li Huo Yu said.
“It’s like I never said anything,” Fang Yu sighed.
Fang Yu has always believed that his cultivation was still at the Qi Refining stage because he judged it based on the aura and changes in his body.
The most basic characteristic of the foundation-building stage is the establishment of the dantian, laying a solid foundation.
After this process, a person’s entire aura will undergo a drastic transformation.
The difference between the foundation building stage and the Qi refining stage lies in this.
And Fang Yu, over these five thousand years, had never experienced this process. And the aura on his body remained constantly at the Qi Refining stage.
Even though breaking through to the tenth thousand layers is evident and a huge change can be felt, it’s still characteristic of the Qi Condensation stage.
But the dantian had transformed into those two orbs of intertwined dragon and phoenix… Now, there was also an extra fire lotus.
“Have you ever thought about how your cultivation system is different from others?” Li Huo Yu asked.
“Do you know of any other cultivation systems?” Fang Yu asked.
“My previous master’s cultivation system was different from others, but I don’t know much about it.” Lìhuòyù said.
“You always only say half of what you mean, it really annoys me.” Fang Yu was somewhat annoyed.
“I’m just a spirit, I can’t actively seek information. Everything I know is what my master has told me,” replied the Lihuo Jade.
Fang Yu stopped speaking.
…Other cultivation systems… Fang Yu had thought about this, his master had considered it back then as well.
But the problem is that throughout all of human history, there are very few records about cultivation systems.
The previous cultivation system, namely the Qi Refining Period, Foundation Establishment Period, Core Formation Period, Nascent Soul Period, and Divine Transformation Period… always ascending until the Transcendence Tribulation Period.
Up to now, the cultivation system has been transformed into Innate, Grandmaster, Martial Venerable, Martial Saint, and Martial God… In fact, it’s just a name change, and the entire system hasn’t changed.
Therefore, because there were no records from previous generations, Fang Yu had no idea what kind of cultivation system he practiced.
He could still only record his cultivation progress using the cultivation system used by most cultivators, with the closest equivalent being the Qi Condensation stage.
“My previous master once said that the cultivation system is just a carrier, and the most important thing is to truly master the power.” Lihuo Jade said vaguely.
<>
In history, who was the first person to create a cultivation system, and where did they get their information from?
It is obvious that he has no way of knowing, everything is the result of his own exploration and definition.
Fang Yu could consider himself at the 10,060th level of the Qi Refining Period… but equally, he could also give this current realm a new name.
Walk a path of cultivation that belongs to you. This was the last instruction my master gave me before his ascension.
Fang Yu suddenly had a new understanding of his master’s words.
After entering the 10,000th layer of the Qi Refining Stage, the most noticeable change is… he was able to initially harmonize with heaven and earth, mastering the laws.
Harmony pervading all things…
Celestial Realm!
This new realm name not only breaks free from the “Qi Refining Stage” which had confined him for nearly five thousand years, but it is also Fang Yu’s definition of his own cultivation system.
“Right now, I am at the sixth level of the Heavenly Ascension Realm,” Fang Yu thought to himself.
