Chapter 608: The Final Layer!?
“Mr. Fang…” Nearby, Ji Rumei asked with some concern.
“Miss Ji, you know Master Fang’s style very well. If he doesn’t appear on his own, we’ll never find him,” Tang Mingde said with a bitter smile.
Ji Rumei nodded and didn’t say anything more.
…
After dealing with Ding Ran, Fang Yu didn’t leave that place immediately, but instead found a good spot nearby.
In front of Fang Yu was a waterfall, with a clear spring pool at its base.
Beside the spring was a natural cave, completely empty inside.
Fang Yu walked into the cave, sat down in meditation, and took out the Immortal King’s heart that he had stored in his storage pouch.
This heart was still beating vigorously.
When Fang Yu placed his right hand on the heart, he could feel the powerful energy contained within.
The Immortal King used this heart to infinitely reconstruct his physical body as long as there was flesh and blood available.
The Immortal King’s life force and energy came from this heart.
This worked on the same principle as the internal elixir of magical beasts and spirit beasts, as well as the golden elixir within cultivators’ bodies.
So, using the Spirit Devouring Technique, he should be able to absorb the energy inside and convert it into spiritual energy.
With this thought, Fang Yu gripped the heart with his right hand and began to circulate the Spirit Devouring Technique.
A vortex of spiritual light appeared above his right hand.
Soon, a stream of pure energy entered Fang Yu’s meridians through his right hand, circulated through his body, and was refined into pure spiritual energy.
“No problem.”
After confirming that he could refine it into spiritual energy, Fang Yu’s eyes lit up with excitement, and he accelerated the absorption speed.
Currently, Fang Yu was only three levels away from reaching the ten-thousandth level of the Qi Condensation stage.
These three levels represented his unremitting struggle and effort over the past five thousand years.
With his cultivation stagnant for so long and Earth’s spiritual energy so thin, the Immortal King’s heart was like sending coal in snowy weather for Fang Yu!
Fang Yu decided that if he could successfully break through to the ten-thousandth level of Qi Condensation with this heart, he would erect a monument for the Immortal King in Xiang City.
After suppressing his excitement, Fang Yu focused on refining the spiritual energy.
Time quickly passed.
…
North Capital, Martial Arts Association Hall, reception room.
An old man with a face full of white beard led Mo Xiu into the reception room.
Several people were sitting on the sofas in the reception room, all high-ranking officials of the North Capital Martial Arts Association.
“Grand Master Mo, if you had informed us of your visit in advance, we would have prepared a proper welcome,” the high-ranking officials in the reception room stood up and said respectfully.
Mo Xiu swept his gaze over these people, a trace of displeasure flashing in his eyes.
Before coming here, he had clearly stated that he wanted to see the Chairman.
But now, the Chairman was nowhere to be seen.
“Grand Master Mo, Chairman Wang has been away from North Capital recently. Whatever you wish to discuss, you can tell us just the same,” the old man with the white beard said with a smile.
His name was Pan Yushan, one of the vice-chairmen.
The two hundred martial artists that Mo Xiu had brought earlier were requested through him.
“Grand Master Mo, please have a seat. Have some tea, and we can discuss matters at leisure,” Pan Yushan said.
Mo Xiu stood in place, hesitating for a moment, before sitting down.
“By the way, Grand Master Mo, how is the situation in Xiang City? How did the two hundred martial artists we sent perform their duties?” Pan Yushan asked, as if suddenly remembering.
Mo Xiu grew annoyed at this nonchalant attitude.
Were these people truly unaware of the situation in Xiang City, or were they just pretending?
Although the Immortal Clan had now been cleared out by Fang Yu, the previous crisis had been the most severe in several hundred years!
The way Pan Yushan spoke made it sound as casual as clearing out a group of beasts!
“Vice-Chairman Pan, and everyone present, I have only one question,” Mo Xiu asked with a gloomy expression. “Do you actually know the true situation in Xiang City?”
Seeing Mo Xiu’s unpleasant expression, Pan Yushan and the others exchanged glances.
“Of course we know. We’ve been monitoring the situation since receiving the report,” Pan Yushan said, raising an eyebrow.
“Then what’s with this attitude of yours?” Mo Xiu questioned bluntly.
Pan Yushan’s expression changed slightly as he frowned and asked, “Grand Master Mo, what do you mean by that? Let me ask you, has the situation in Xiang City been resolved?”
“…It has been resolved,” Mo Xiu answered.
“Then isn’t that fine? If it was resolved so easily, it couldn’t have been a major problem. Why are you so upset, Grand Master Mo?” Pan Yushan countered.
“Hmph!”
Mo Xiu could barely contain his anger. He snorted coldly, stood up, swept his sleeve, and glared at Pan Yushan, saying sternly, “You think we resolved it easily!? Do you know…”
“I told you, I know,” Pan Yushan interrupted Mo Xiu.
Mo Xiu’s expression changed as he looked at Pan Yushan, nodded, and walked toward the door of the reception room.
“Vice-Chairman Pan, I’ll say only one thing. I see your actions very clearly. I warn you, your attitude will eventually backfire on you!” After saying this, Mo Xiu pushed open the door and stormed out.
The attitude of these high-ranking officials was already very clear; there was no need for further discussion.
He still didn’t understand what was going on.
Next time, he would find the Chairman directly and talk face to face!
After Mo Xiu left, Pan Yushan’s expression immediately turned cold.
“Master Pan, do you think he might discover that we…” someone sitting across from him asked hesitantly.
“Don’t worry, he won’t know anything,” Pan Yushan said coldly. “The Order Keepers are a completely independent organization with no authority to command us to do anything.”
“If Mo Xiu drops the matter, so be it. If he insists on meddling, we’ll eliminate him.”
“In any case, our plan will not be affected by any outsiders.”
The others in the reception room nodded.
“Speaking of which, that alien race in Xiang City was truly disappointing. The reason Immortal Dao Kong had us help them was to create some chaos… but they didn’t even last half a month before being eliminated,” Pan Yushan shook his head, his face full of contempt. “Had we known this would happen, why would we have risked discovery to cover up so many things?”
At this point, Pan Yushan changed the subject and looked at someone across from him, asking, “By the way, have you identified the person who eliminated the alien race?”
“Master Pan, I’m working on the investigation. It will take some time,” the person replied respectfully.
“Hmm, do it quickly. I feel this person might be related to the Fang Changsheng who killed Yu Liu in front of the Immortal in East Capital. They might even be the same person,” Pan Yushan said, tapping his index finger on the table.
“Then, we’ll take our leave now.”
Several people stood up simultaneously and said.
“Yes, go ahead.”
Pan Yushan watched them, a smile appearing on his face, while a barely perceptible red glow emerged from the depths of his pupils.
…
Fang Yu spent a week in the cave refining the heart.
During this week, Fang Yu only felt his dantian expanding more and more, with the vast sea of spiritual energy almost overflowing.
Although the heart in Fang Yu’s hand wasn’t equivalent to an entire spiritual vein, the absorbable energy it contained was truly substantial.
At least within a week, Fang Yu hadn’t even absorbed half of the energy inside.
But at the same time, Fang Yu hadn’t broken through a single level.
He felt he had reached the ceiling of the nine-thousand nine-hundred and ninety-seventh level, but couldn’t break through that barrier.
Fang Yu knew this was definitely because the spiritual energy wasn’t sufficient enough to break through that realm.
He needed to continue absorbing!
The more time passed, the calmer Fang Yu’s mental state became.
Cultivation level advancement was something that happened naturally; the more anxious one became, the more likely problems would arise.
Soon, another half month passed.
During this half month, Fang Yu twice felt his dantian about to burst, unable to contain more energy, when suddenly he successfully broke through.
Now, he had reached the nine-thousand nine-hundred and ninety-ninth level of Qi Condensation.
Just one more level! And he would reach the ten-thousandth level of Qi Condensation!
The heart in his hand still had about one-fifth of its energy remaining.
Judging from the current expansion of his dantian, Fang Yu had already reached the ceiling of the nine-thousand nine-hundred and ninety-ninth level of Qi Condensation.
Ahead lay the final barrier!
