Chapter 422: The Limitations of the Qi Condensation Stage!
Fang Yu continued to search for other memory fragments.
But after searching around, he couldn’t find any memories about the Witch God Cult’s address.
What was going on?
How could a Holy Maiden not know the location of the church headquarters?
Fang Yu searched again, still with no results!
This was strange!
Fang Yu withdrew his divine consciousness from Song Liuge’s soul.
Song Liuge regained her senses and stared blankly at Fang Yu, her eyes somewhat confused.
When he had entered Song Liuge’s soul earlier, Fang Yu had seen her most recent memories, including her personal thoughts.
Clearly, Song Liuge was just a foolish girl who had been brainwashed after joining the cult. Her nature wasn’t bad.
“Since you treated me to a meal before, I’ll spare your life,” Fang Yu said.
Song Liuge’s expression changed slightly, her eyes showing a glimmer of joy.
“Take care of yourself. I’m leaving.” Fang Yu turned around and walked away.
Due to the recent battle, the entire building looked even more dilapidated, almost on the verge of collapse.
Fang Yu had barely taken two steps when the cracks in the ceiling suddenly widened, and debris began falling.
The entire building was about to collapse.
Song Liuge sat motionless.
Her left shoulder was still injured, and with the emotional rollercoaster she had just experienced, she had completely lost her strength and couldn’t move.
A rock fell beside Song Liuge with a dull thud.
Song Liuge’s eyes filled with despair.
Fang Yu had spared her, but heaven didn’t want to!
Those who were meant to die would still die!
Song Liuge closed her eyes in resignation.
“Sigh, why am I becoming increasingly kind-hearted?” Fang Yu shook his head, picked up Song Liuge from the ground, and quickly left the building.
“Boom!”
Just seconds after he and Song Liuge left, the entire building completely collapsed.
Fang Yu placed Song Liuge on the ground.
Song Liuge looked up at Fang Yu, her beautiful eyes filled with grateful tears.
“Thank you for saving me, Fang Yu.”
Fang Yu frowned, about to speak.
But at that moment, several auras suddenly appeared in the air.
More people coming?
Fang Yu frowned and turned to look at the wild thicket not far ahead.
Only then did Fang Yu notice a formation on the ground in the middle of the thicket.
A teleportation formation?
Fang Yu’s eyes lit up as he walked forward.
At the same time, the formation glowed, and several figures emerged from it.
Three more people in black robes.
The black-robed figures looked at Fang Yu slowly walking toward them, then at the ruins of the building behind him. Their expressions changed, and they were about to speak.
“Plans have changed! Activate the teleportation formation and retreat immediately!”
At that moment, the Grand Archbishop’s voice suddenly rang in each of their ears, his tone extremely urgent!
The usually calm and composed Grand Archbishop, who controlled everything, was anxious for the first time!
The three black-robed archbishops were shocked. One of them wanted to ask: “Grand Archbishop, Fang Yu is right in front of us…”
“Retreat immediately!” The Grand Archbishop almost shouted.
“Whoosh!”
By this time, the lead black-robed archbishop had already activated the teleportation formation, and the light circle beneath their feet emitted a glow.
“Eh? Why are they leaving as soon as they arrived? Damn!” Fang Yu was stunned, then pushed off the ground and rushed forward.
“Swoosh!”
Fang Yu missed them.
The three figures disappeared.
But Fang Yu didn’t stop. He immediately stood in the formation on the ground, crouched down, and studied the arrangement of the teleportation formation.
He could sense the connection between this formation and another one.
Given a few minutes, he could crack this teleportation formation and transport himself to their location.
…
Meanwhile, in a church in the western wilderness of Huaibei.
The three black-robed archbishops appeared at the church’s teleportation point.
A figure in red robes, wearing a crown, stood before them.
“Grand Archbishop!” The three black-robed archbishops immediately knelt down.
The Grand Archbishop ignored them and extended his scepter toward the formation on the ground.
“Crack…”
A breaking sound came from the ground.
The formation inscribed on the ground instantly turned to dust and disappeared.
“Grand Archbishop, what are you…” one of the black-robed archbishops asked in confusion.
The Grand Archbishop stood still, gripping his scepter, his mismatched black and white eyes showing no emotion.
“Fang Yu’s strength far exceeds my expectations. Before the Witch God’s revival, we must not provoke him!” the Grand Archbishop said gravely.
The three black-robed archbishops looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock.
Even the Grand Archbishop was so wary…
And thinking back, when they had teleported over, they had only seen ruins.
While Fang Yu was unharmed.
This meant that their companions—the two black-robed archbishops, the two purple-robed archbishops, and even Lord Yan Yao of the Immortal Clan—had all been dealt with by Fang Yu.
Realizing this, the three felt a chill in their hearts. Cold sweat instantly soaked through the backs of their robes as they recalled how quickly Fang Yu had rushed toward them.
…
Fang Yu stood up with some frustration.
The other side’s reaction was much quicker than he had anticipated, cutting off the connection immediately.
Now, even if he cracked the teleportation formation, he couldn’t locate their position.
“Sigh, another wasted trip.”
Fang Yu sighed and shook his head.
On this journey, he had originally thought he could at least raid the Witch God Cult’s headquarters.
But unexpectedly, both the Witch God Cult and the Immortal Clan had concealed their addresses so well that Fang Yu couldn’t find any trace!
Especially this move by the Witch God Cult.
Three black-robed figures appeared and quickly disappeared.
It was as if they were mocking Fang Yu!
“Witch God Cult, as long as you continue your activities, I’ll find you soon.” Fang Yu narrowed his eyes, his gaze cold.
By now, Song Liuge had regained some strength and could barely stand up.
She looked at Fang Yu in front of her, her beautiful eyes shining with admiration.
When the three black-robed archbishops had appeared earlier, she had been worried.
The black-robed archbishops were second only to the Grand Archbishop in the Witch God Cult. Each of them possessed the cult’s secret techniques, with unfathomable strength!
But Song Liuge hadn’t expected these three black-robed archbishops to leave just like that!
Song Liuge knew this was most likely the Grand Archbishop’s order.
Someone who could make the Grand Archbishop wary…
As Song Liuge was pondering, Fang Yu suddenly moved.
He shot up into the air and quickly disappeared from her view.
Song Liuge looked up at the sky, then lowered her head, gritted her teeth, and slowly walked forward.
…
Fang Yu returned to his apartment, washed up in the bathroom, and sat at his desk, intending to continue researching the method to decompose the energy within Violet.
But just as he picked up his pen, he changed his mind and began writing furiously on a blank sheet of paper.
A few minutes later, the entire sheet was filled.
This was a technique… more precisely, a divine ability.
If he could have used this divine ability that afternoon, he could have instantly severed the spatial laws and forcibly detained those three black-robed archbishops.
But currently, at the Qi Condensation stage, Fang Yu couldn’t perform such a divine ability.
Fang Yu’s physique was already exceptionally special. Normal Qi Condensation cultivators couldn’t project true qi externally, fly, or control divine consciousness.
These techniques could only be mastered after at least the Foundation Establishment stage.
But despite mastering most cultivator techniques, the Qi Condensation stage still imposed limitations on Fang Yu.
The divine ability he had written on paper required connecting the spiritual energy within his body to the laws existing in the world, a technique known in the cultivation world as “Merging with Heaven and Earth.”
Normal cultivators needed to be at the Nascent Soul stage or higher to master this.
But Fang Yu wasn’t a normal cultivator; he could master most cultivator techniques at the Qi Condensation stage.
So, he might only need to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage to achieve Merging with Heaven and Earth.
But for now, he was indeed limited by his realm, which made him realize his power was far from its limit.
Currently, he relied mostly on his physical body in battle, engaging in close combat with opponents, at most projecting true qi externally.
To be honest, this fighting style lacked technique.
After nearly five thousand years, Fang Yu had grown somewhat tired of this combat method and yearned to employ various divine abilities.
The powerful beings from thousands of years ago battled using divine abilities, summoning thunder and fire with a thought, or freezing the world with another!
They could fight in close combat too, but they preferred using various divine abilities.
That was the mark of a flawless supreme being!
Now, Fang Yu was only sixteen layers away from reaching the ten-thousandth layer of Qi Condensation! Very close!
Once he broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, all the divine abilities he had mastered in his heart could be used!
Thinking about what awaited him after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, Fang Yu felt excited.
“I need to speed up my breakthrough…”
At this thought, Fang Yu’s eyes lit up.
He suddenly remembered what Qin Lang had mentioned about Chen Luo, who had recently become famous throughout the Nine Provinces.
This Friday, the Chen family was hosting a martial arts tournament?
How many layers could he break through by absorbing a Nascent Soul?
Thinking of this, Fang Yu couldn’t help but smile.
