Chapter 779: Immortal Domain?
Dragon Source, Phoenix Source, Divine Fire Jade.
These three divine treasures have always been remembered through legends.
But now, all three treasures are within Fang Yu’s body, fused together in a perfectly suitable manner.
Is this a coincidence, or is it destiny as the Divine Fire Jade claimed?
Fang Yu suddenly recalled that Lin Batian had said something similar before.
Destiny, but destined for what exactly?
Destined to obtain these legendary divine treasures?
But after obtaining them, what then?
After living in this world for nearly five thousand years, Fang Yu could no longer find worthy opponents.
The concept of strength and weakness had little meaning to him anymore.
While Fang Yu was contemplating, the scene around him changed.
He left the domain of the Divine Fire Jade and returned to reality.
Qi Ruoqing, who had been waiting for a long time, first showed joy when she saw Fang Yu emerge, then froze.
She saw a crimson-gold flame circling around Fang Yu’s body.
Fang Yu noticed Qi Ruoqing’s gaze, looked to the side, and also saw the flame.
He knew this was likely a manifestation of the Divine Fire Jade.
With a thought, the flame instantly disappeared.
“Mr. Fang Yu, did everything… go smoothly?” Qi Ruoqing asked.
“Yes, quite well,” Fang Yu nodded and said, “We can prepare to go to the next location.”
“Excessive greed will only lead to self-destruction.”
At that moment, the voice of the Desolate Void’s will echoed around them.
“How can this be considered greed? If I don’t take these items, no one else can. I’m rescuing these treasures, allowing them to leave this forsaken place and fulfill their true purpose…” Fang Yu argued.
“The Desolate Void has rules. One person can only obtain one treasure. Your opportunity has been exhausted. Now, you should leave,” the Desolate Void’s will stated.
“Rules can be changed. I came all this way…” As Fang Yu was speaking, he felt a vortex appear beneath his feet.
Qi Ruoqing beside him let out a small cry and wrapped her arms around Fang Yu’s arm.
“Old man, it’s useless to expel me. I’ll return immediately…” Fang Yu said through gritted teeth.
The Desolate Void’s will did not respond.
The next second, Fang Yu and Qi Ruoqing were both sucked into the vortex, disappearing from where they stood.
…
After a dizzying moment, Fang Yu and Qi Ruoqing returned to the cliff at the entrance of the narrow passage.
“This old man’s spatial tunnel is so poorly built…” Fang Yu cursed, then looked ahead and froze.
The chain bridge and the gray sky on the opposite side were nowhere to be seen.
Instead, there was only a pitch-black abyss.
Had the Desolate Void… disappeared?
Fang Yu released his divine sense to probe forward.
This time, his divine sense encountered no barriers like walls and could extend forward continuously.
But ahead was only an abyss, and beyond that, a primitive mountain range.
Fang Yu frowned deeply and activated his Eye of Insight to look ahead again.
Still nothing unusual.
The Desolate Void had simply vanished.
How was this possible?
Fang Yu’s eyes widened in astonishment.
At this moment, Qi Ruoqing followed Fang Yu’s gaze toward the front.
“Can you see the other side?” Fang Yu asked.
Qi Ruoqing didn’t understand the meaning behind Fang Yu’s question and nodded blankly, saying, “Yes, I can.”
“You can see the gray sky on the other side? And the chain bridge?” Fang Yu pressed.
“Hmm… just like when we arrived,” Qi Ruoqing nodded.
“So the old man was telling the truth… one person only has one chance to obtain a treasure… once used up, it’s gone, and you can’t even see the Desolate Void anymore… while those who haven’t obtained a treasure can still see its existence.” Fang Yu’s eyes widened as he stared at the emptiness before him.
With all his years of cultivation experience and knowledge… he couldn’t understand how this was possible.
Fang Yu’s knowledge spanned from the Tribulation Crossing Stage down to the Qi Condensation Stage, with almost no blind spots.
When something appeared that he couldn’t comprehend… it could only mean…
The Desolate Void before him was likely a domain left behind by an immortal.
Perhaps only those who mastered various laws and could even manipulate life and death with immortal techniques… could achieve something like this.
Fang Yu stared blankly at the abyss before him, his expression constantly changing.
Qi Ruoqing beside him dared not disturb Fang Yu.
Three minutes later, Fang Yu came back to his senses.
For someone who had never left the realm of Qi Condensation, immortals and immortal techniques were too distant.
No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t understand.
The only certainty was that other treasures must still exist within the Desolate Void.
However… Fang Yu might truly never have the chance to obtain them.
“Let’s go. I’ll take you out first,” Fang Yu summoned his Xuanran energy, transforming it into the Imperial Battle Chariot.
Fang Yu and Qi Ruoqing sat inside the chariot, which rose and rushed toward the entrance of the narrow passage.
After the chariot left, a pair of eyes suddenly appeared in mid-air opposite the cliff edge.
These eyes were grayish-white, appearing somewhat eerie.
They stared in the direction Fang Yu had departed, showing no emotional color whatsoever.
…
Sitting in the chariot, Fang Yu once again examined his internal state.
After absorbing the Divine Fire Jade, he discovered his realm had risen by five levels!
“I’ve now reached the 10,006th layer of Qi Condensation…” Fang Yu thought.
“…Your current realm has clearly surpassed Qi Condensation.”
At that moment, the voice of the Divine Fire Jade suddenly appeared.
“Surpassed Qi Condensation?” Hearing this, Fang Yu’s heart stirred, and he asked, “Can you tell what realm I’m in?”
“…I cannot, but you’re definitely not in Qi Condensation,” the Divine Fire Jade said.
“That’s as good as saying nothing,” Fang Yu said dejectedly.
The reason Fang Yu had always believed his cultivation was still in the Qi Condensation stage was based on the aura and changes in his body.
The most basic characteristic of the Foundation Establishment stage was establishing a foundation in the dantian.
After this process, a person’s aura would undergo tremendous changes.
That was the difference between Foundation Establishment and Qi Condensation.
But Fang Yu had never experienced this process in the past five thousand years, and his aura had always indicated he remained in Qi Condensation.
Even now, after breaking through ten thousand layers, though he could clearly feel significant changes, the characteristics still matched Qi Condensation.
Except his dantian had transformed into those two dragon-phoenix fusion spheres… and now had an additional fire lotus.
“Have you considered that you might be following a different cultivation system than others?” the Divine Fire Jade asked.
“You know of other cultivation systems?” Fang Yu asked.
“My previous master also had a different cultivation system from others, but I don’t understand it well either,” the Divine Fire Jade said.
“You always tell half the story, which really annoys me,” Fang Yu said irritably.
“I am merely a spirit of an artifact. I cannot actively acquire information. What I know is only what my master told me,” the Divine Fire Jade replied.
Fang Yu fell silent.
Other cultivation systems… Fang Yu had considered this before, and his master had also pondered it years ago.
But the problem was that throughout human history, records of cultivation systems were extremely scarce.
The traditional cultivation system progressed from Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation… all the way up to Tribulation Crossing.
Now, the cultivation system had been renamed to Innate, Master, Martial Lord, Martial Saint, Martial God… but these were merely name changes, the system itself remained unchanged.
Therefore, due to the lack of historical records, Fang Yu had no idea what cultivation system he was following.
He could only record his cultivation progress using the closest equivalent in the common system—Qi Condensation.
“My previous master once said that the cultivation system is merely a vehicle; what truly matters is the power one masters,” the Divine Fire Jade said abruptly.
Fang Yu didn’t respond, but a flash of inspiration struck him.
Historically, the first person to create a cultivation system—where did they get their information from?
Obviously, they couldn’t know. Everything was their own exploration and self-defined results.
Fang Yu could consider himself at the 10,006th layer of Qi Condensation… but equally, he could define a new name for his current realm.
Forging a path of cultivation unique to oneself—this was his master’s final instruction before ascending.
Fang Yu suddenly gained a new understanding of his master’s words.
After entering the 10,000th layer of Qi Condensation, the most significant change was… he could now begin to connect with heaven and earth, mastering laws.
Connecting with heaven and earth…
Sky-Connecting Realm!
This new realm name would not only free him from the Qi Condensation stage that had confined him for nearly five thousand years but also represented Fang Yu’s definition of his own cultivation system.
“I am now at the sixth layer of the Sky-Connecting Realm,” Fang Yu thought.
