Fang Yu tried to enter the golden-red sphere formed by the little phoenix and the little golden dragon, but was blocked by an inexplicable force.
In this situation, Fang Yu was within expectations.
Because, even if he broke through to the 10,000th layer of the Qi Refining Period, he felt that the fusion of himself with the Phoenix and the Divine Dragon’s origin had not yet reached its peak.
He has now absorbed less than a third of it.
The refinement of divine beast origins within a human body is clearly extremely difficult.
But with this, Fang Yu’s previous excitement had subsided, even feeling a little tasteless.
The Qi Refining Stage was ten thousand layers deep, vastly different from what he had imagined.
The body does have some changes, but they are not very significant.
At the same time, after reaching the 10,000th layer of the Qi Refining Stage, he felt a barrier to another realm appearing ahead.
The Qi Refinement Stage, One Thousand and First Layer…was beckoning to him.
The Qi Refining Stage has ten thousand layers, but it’s not the end; there’s still room for improvement!
However, Fang Yu had a hunch.
Building upon the foundation of ten thousand levels in the Qi Condensation stage, each subsequent breakthrough surpasses the previous ones in a way that is completely different.
Every layer above ten thousand in the Qi Refining Stage will bring him tremendous changes!
……
Within the water prison.
After Fang Yu left, Mie Ling went crazy and vented for a while.
But the chains that stretched out from the ground and all the various restrictions within the water prison completely sealed it off.
Even in its anger, it was futile.
Before long, the water prison suddenly began to shake!
The chains binding to the spirit-eater violently shook!
A distinct aura, palpable and potent, emanated from the chains, dissipating into nothingness.
“Click…”
With a casual flick of his wrist, the spirit-breaker effortlessly shattered all the chains!
All kinds of suppression existing inside the entire water prison have also been weakened by half in a short period of time!
It seemed unbelievable that the soul-eater, with its limbs restored to freedom, stood there, frozen in place for several seconds.
Then, it burst into laughter!
“Hahaha… your will has finally dissipated! You’re finally gone! I have finally worn you down!”
Mèi Ling shrieked hysterically a few times, then kicked off the ground and shot upwards!
“Boom!”
A deafening boom echoed as it smashed through the ground.
At the same time, Mie Ling moved at an incredible speed, piercing through over a hundred meters of spirit water and reaching the top of the spirit prison.
Facing the thick spatial barrier, Mie Ling laughed maniacally and punched out!
“Boom!”
The barrier before me was shattered with a single punch!
At the same time, the entire prison cell was collapsing!
“I’m finally out! I’m finally out! Phoenix Clan… you imprisoned me for so many years! I must kill all of you! Annihilate your entire clan!” Mie Ling directly came to the void outside the space.
Just like Fang Yu, various spatial laws being compressed seemed to be nothing to Mie Ling.
A moment later, it grinned, revealing a horrifying smile.
The aura of the Phoenix Clan, I sense it… none of you can escape!
“Whoosh!”
Mèilíng dashed toward one side with incredible speed!
……
Beijing, the Celestial Observatory.
Before the Immortal Ascension Stele, almost twenty people had already gathered.
These people are all core members of the Celestial Observation Bureau, and they are all quite elderly.
All eyes were fixed on the Immortal Ascension Monument.
At this moment, the entire Tongxian Tablet was still trembling, but the front of the tablet remained stubbornly silent, with no new names appearing.
But even so, these people still stared intently at the Immortal Ascension Stele.
After about thirty seconds, a glow appeared beneath the spaces where several names were inscribed on the stone tablet!
“Zzz…”
On the stone tablet, a scraping sound echoed, as if inscribing a name.
But the speed of this inscription is quite slow, each stroke taking dozens of seconds.
After a while, the first character appeared.
“Square…”
“The great powers who ascended the Immortal Tablet were surnamed Fang!”
Everyone looked at each other in surprise.
Although there are powerful individuals with the surname Fang on other rankings, none of them possess the qualifications to ascend the Immortal Ascension Monument.
This powerful figure surnamed Fang, where did they come from?
Soon, the second character began to be engraved.
The speed of inscription, unusually full.
After about a minute, two strokes appeared, but they did not form a character.
Everyone’s faces changed.
Especially the elderly surnamed Yang, his beard trembled.
But he remained silent, his eyes fixed on the Immortal Inscription.
After waiting for several dozen seconds, the names on the Immortal Tablet didn’t continue to be inscribed. They simply stopped there.
All the faces changed, and they all looked at the elder surnamed Yang.
Yang Lao was equally shocked, staring at the 通仙碑.
At this point, the Immortal Ascension Stele has fully returned to normal.
Obviously, the name ends here; I won’t be writing any more.
What does this mean? What’s going on?
The names on the Immortal Ascension Monument have always appeared in their entirety. Why is only half of a name complete this time?
“Could this be the great being, named Fang…?” said one of the people behind.
“That’s impossible! There are clearly more characters after the square, it just stopped after only two strokes…” The other person retorted.
“But that doesn’t make sense, how could the Immortality Tablet only have half a name inscribed on it?” someone else wondered aloud.
For a time, there was much discussion.
Old Yang stood in place, his brows furrowed, staring intently at the half name that had just appeared on the Immortal Ascension Stele.
The Tongxian Tablet is a magical artifact that encompasses the laws governing heaven and earth, enabling it to monitor cultivators who are approaching that particular realm…
And this situation of only having half a name appearing, has never happened in all these years.
What does a half name mean?
There are only two possibilities.
One possibility is that a powerful being sensed the existence of the Tongxian Monument and didn’t want their name to appear on it. They might have used some sort of magic to forcibly sever the connection to the monument… But this possibility is low because the existence of the Tongxian Monument is very special. Even if someone is incredibly strong, it would be difficult to interfere with the monument from such a great distance.
The second possibility is that the powerful being… after breaking through to that realm, might have due to some reason, regressed back in their cultivation!
This caused the Tongxian stele that was being inscribed with names to suddenly stop.
The second possibility is more likely than the first, but upon closer inspection, it’s still quite strange.
“Elder Yang, this… how do we handle this?” someone asked.
Yang Lao took a deep breath and walked over to the nearby armchair, sitting down again.
Everyone looked at Lao Yang.
“Is there anything that needs to be dealt with? Just leave it as it is.” Old Yang said.
“But we have to report on what happens here every day to the Hidden God Association… How are we supposed to do that?” the person asked.
“A disappearance meeting, huh…” Lao Yang furrowed his brows, pondered for a moment before saying, “Let’s just pretend this never happened and not report it to the Shenyinhui for now.”
“But what if someone from Shenyin Hui came over…?” the man’s face changed slightly, he said.
“If you really want to come, just say so later. I’m going back to sleep. Don’t disturb me.” Lao Yang closed his eyes and lay down on the armchair.
Everyone looked at each other, glancing at the half name on the Stele of Immortality and then at Old Yang, before slowly dispersing.
……
Within Lingxu.
“Boom!”
The entire mountain is still collapsing.
“Whoosh!”
“It’s nothing major.” Fang Yu said.
Red Lotus stood before Fang Yu, staring intently into his eyes, and said, “Your eyes…”
“Hmm? What’s wrong?” Fang Yu asked.
“Your eyes…” Honglian said.
At this moment, Fang Yu’s pupils were glowing with red light on the left and golden light on the right, giving him a somewhat eerie appearance.
“Oh, this is easy to fix, just transform it.” Fang Yu drew his right hand across his eyes.
Soon, his pupils returned to their normal black.
“You… have completely absorbed the essence of Fenghuang?” Honglian asked.
Fang Yu shook his head and said, “No, maybe it absorbed less than 30%. I’m not too sure either.”
Red Lotus nodded. Even now, the power of the Phoenix was still being refined within her body.
She secretly glanced at Fang Yu, her face a little strange.
At this moment, a strange resonance with Fang Yu arose in her heart.
This feeling is subtle, yet it exists with certainty.
This should be the connection produced by the Phoenix and the Dragon, the origin of twins.
“Right, my storage pouch,” Fang Yu suddenly remembered this thing, looking down at the mountain range below that was collapsing and shrouded in smoke.
Although his storage bag held nothing of great value, there was one item inside that was quite important: a spirit essence stone. It served as his compass in his search for the remnants of the Ziyan Palace.
So, the storage bag has to be found!
Fang Yu released his divine sense and was just about to search for the location of the storage pouch.
“Sizzle!”
But just at this moment, the void above his head suddenly tore open a huge gash.
Two pitch-black hands, stretched out from the crack and ripped it open with a violent force!
“Unfortunately, I’ve found you.”
A raspy and menacing voice echoed from the fissure!
