Fang Wang followed Fang Hanyu out of the cave residence, and the two went their separate ways, with Fang Hanyu returning to the cave residence to cultivate, while Fang Wang flew towards the Sect’s Main City.

He took out one-tenth of the treasures he had obtained in the Great Saint’s Grotto-Heaven and donated them to the Sect, in exchange for contribution points.

He arrived at the Task Hall and found Elder Zhang. When he presented a batch of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Elder Zhang was astonished, finding it to be an excessive amount.

Elder Zhang was too busy to handle it alone, so he called over several disciples to help calculate the treasures.

In the end, Fang Wang received seven hundred and ninety thousand contribution points, catapulting him into the top twenty of the third vein’s contribution list. Elder Zhang praised Fang Wang for his grand vision and promised to report the matter to the main meridian. The Task Hall disciples looked at Fang Wang with admiration in their eyes.

After exchanging pleasantries for quite a while, Fang Wang finally left the Task Hall.

Back at the third vein, Fang Wang did not directly return to his cave dwelling, but instead, he went to the mountain peak to visit his master, Yang Yuanzi, who happened to be present.

Upon entering Qingxin Hall, Fang Wang bowed and said, “Master, your disciple donated a batch of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to the Task Hall. Recently, I have had new insights into the Jinghong Divine Sword Art and would like to show them to you, to see if I am on the right path.”

He took out a yellow-bound book from his storage bag, which contained his recent understanding of the last nine moves of the Jinghong Divine Sword Art.

He had prepared this book long ago; previously, he was afraid to stimulate Yang Yuanzi. Now, hearing about the disaster that had befallen the royal family of Grand Qi, he felt it necessary to act and at least strengthen his relationship with Yang Yuanzi.

Yang Yuanzi frowned, not reaching out to take the book.

Fang Wang then said, “Master, this secret technique was originally passed down to me by you. It is only right that I return it to you. I also want to contribute to the third vein and not just reap the benefits.”

Guang Qiuxian was right; his master really was stingy, or rather, Yang Yuanzi was too proud.

Yang Yuanzi hesitated for a long time but eventually accepted the yellow-bound book from Fang Wang.

“Recently Grand Qi is unstable, with invasions from other dynasties and Sects, and the Jin Xiao Sect causing trouble from within. You should just stay in the Sect and cultivate quietly, don’t go out. As for whether or not you contribute, don’t feel too burdened. You have already achieved the best result for the third vein in decades. The overall resources of the third vein have greatly increased, and all the disciples of the vein should be grateful to you,” Yang Yuanzi said earnestly.

Fang Wang nodded and said, “Your disciple will follow the Master’s instruction. I’m preparing to enter closed-door cultivation, striving to reach the ninth level of the Spirit Elixir Realm and then break through to the Profound Heart Realm.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Yuanzi was deeply moved and said, “Heaven Yuan Spirit Treasure indeed exceeds expectations. You have only been with the Sect for four years, yet you have begun to aspire to the Profound Heart Realm. When you truly break through to the Profound Heart Realm, I will appoint you as the great disciple of the third vein. If you wish to compete for the position of great disciple of Great Abyss Gate in the future, I will support you.”

“Hmph, it’s about time our third vein rose to prominence. Your talents exceed those of Lu Yuanjun; you should compete for it!”

When speaking of Lu Yuanjun, Yang Yuanzi’s tone was full of mockery.

Fang Wang felt a complex emotion inside. Who would have thought that Yang Yuanzi, who mocked Lu Yuanjun, would be willing to die for him?

He suddenly became very curious about the story between Yang Yuanzi, Guang Qiuxian, and Lu Yuanjun’s mother. He wondered whether it was a poignant tale or one filled with melodramatic clichés.

After conversing for quite some time, Fang Wang then took his leave.

Descending from the mountain peak, he encountered Tai Yuan Sect Disciples from the third vein greeting him warmly along the way. His reputation within Great Abyss Gate was considerable. Apart from his achievements in the Nine Veins Combat Method, the public praise from Ye Xiang, Xu Lang, and Yan Feiyue kept his fame from fading over time but rather deepened his imprint in people’s hearts.

After returning to his cave residence, Fang Wang began to meditate and practice.

Xiao Zi was also cultivating; Fang Wang gave it a portion of the black dragon’s flesh and blood treasure, which thrilled it immensely.

According to Xiao Zi, the hierarchy of Monster realms, from low to high, can be divided into Spirit Demon, Spirit Demon, Great Demon, Demon King, and Great Demon King, corresponding respectively to the Qi Cultivation, Spiritual Refinement, Spirit Elixir, Profound Heart, and Condensation realms.

Currently, Xiao Zi had reached the pinnacle of the Great Demon stage, thanks to the flesh and blood of the black dragon. Now it aimed to advance to the Demon King realm.

Fang Wang was quite looking forward to the idea of it becoming a Demon King. There were no Demon Kings in Great Abyss Gate. Most of the Demon Pets were at the Spirit Demon level, with only the Great Demons being in the hands of the elders and peak masters.

The cave dwelling was quiet, and outside, the sun and moon cycled through the sky.

Years passed by.

In the first year, the Fang Family Disciple all visited Fang Wang, and learning that he was in closed-door cultivation, they did not disturb him in the following years.

In the blink of an eye.

Six years had passed.

The farther one progressed in the Spirit Elixir Realm, the more difficult cultivation became. Even with the power of the Great Perfection’s Solaris Scripture, Fang Wang had only reached the eighth level of the Spirit Elixir Realm.

As for Xiao Zi, it had successfully stepped into the realm of the Demon King. However, it still couldn’t transform into a human shape, which was quite mysterious, and even it didn’t understand the reason.

Fang Wang wasn’t in a rush, remaining in his original form was quite fine. If he transformed, Zhou Xue would definitely tease him, so staying as a pet for now was quite good.

It was autumn, and the third vein was tinged with autumn colors, with leaves fluttering down.

A figure landed in front of the mountain gate, it was Fang Hanyu, standing tall with his long hair coiled beneath a purple crown, his eyes wrapped with a black cloth, with two locks of hair falling along the corners of his eyes. A gentle breeze sent them fluttering, showcasing an elegant and carefree demeanor.

“Fang Wang.”

Fang Hanyu called out, his bearing more refined than six years ago, more handsome and spirited, yet with an undeniable sharpness.

The mountain gate opened with a bang, and Fang Hanyu stepped in.

“Your aura’s not bad, have you reached the ninth level of the Soul Sculpting Realm?”

Xiao Zi teased, but Fang Hanyu simply nodded slightly and went straight over to Fang Wang.

Fang Wang opened his eyes and sized him up.

Six years ago, Fang Hanyu had already been at the third level of the Soul Sculpting Realm. Jumping to the ninth level in six years wasn’t slow at all. Although he couldn’t compare with Fang Wang, he could definitely be considered a top-notch genius.

And now, Fang Hanyu was already wearing the robe of a direct disciple.

One had to admit, the Absolute Heart Evil Eye was indeed powerful. The Green Cicada Valley had researched it for many years without success, which showed how difficult it was to master. It was only thanks to Zhou Xue, who had been reborn, that Fang Hanyu had such a great opportunity.

“Soul Sculpting Realm ninth level, you haven’t disappointed me. With you here, I’ll be able to cultivate with much less concern. Do you need me to provide you with heavenly materials and earthly treasures to condense your spirit pills?” Fang Wang asked with a satisfied smile.

Fang Hanyu sat down at the table, shook his head, and poured himself some tea, saying, “No need, Zhou Xue has already prepared everything for me.”

It was her again.

Fang Wang felt in his heart, damn, a reborn person was indeed different, constantly increasing in cultivation, able to go undercover, and helping those close to her gather heavenly materials and earthly treasures. He couldn’t imagine how busy Zhou Xue’s life was.

“Zi Geng and the others have made their own progress too, and now the one with the lowest status is already an inner sect disciple. Our Fang Family has a bit of a reputation in the Great Abyss Gate, especially with you and Zhou Xue leading the way, outshining those millennium-old families,” Fang Hanyu said in a soft laugh.

Upon hearing this, Fang Wang too felt very happy. It would naturally be excellent if he could have his family by his side on the path to seeking longevity.

Afterwards, Fang Hanyu continued talking about the events in the Great Abyss Gate over the years.

The tragedy of the Grand Qi royal family eventually came to nothing, with the new Prime Minister now in control of the government, corresponding with Zhao Zhen on important matters of state. Zhao Zhen remained in the Great Abyss Gate for cultivation. His talent was commendable, and he proved himself within the sect. His Lifespirit Treasure was a middle-grade Mysterious Origin Precious Spirit, and he was worth being nurtured by the sect.

Having spoken of Zhao Zhen, Fang Hanyu then mentioned the Cultivation World.

“Over these years, the Jin Xiao Sect has made waves, with their four Guardian Kings successfully attacking Green Cicada Valley and Huangyu Mountain, causing heavy losses for the two demonic sects. They even declared that they intended to make the Jin Xiao Sect the only sect in Grand Qi.”

“All four Guardian Kings are comparable to vice sect leaders, and the strongest of them single-handedly stormed Huangyu Mountain, unstoppable by anyone.”

Fang Hanyu showed a look of admiration when talking about the Jin Xiao Sect.

Because the Jin Xiao Sect attacked the Demonic Sects, the cultivators of the righteous Great Abyss Gate did not despise them. In the Cultivation World, which was a much larger place, most cultivators still greatly valued their reputation. They were quite curious about how far the Jin Xiao Sect could go.

Fang Wang, knowing that Zhou Xue had joined the Jin Xiao Sect, also held great expectations for it.

What kind of sect could be worthy of Zhou Xue, the reborn Immortal Venerable?

“By the way, three years ago, Lu Yuanjun was attacked by the Jin Xiao Sect’s hierarch, the Demon Monarch. He was said to be gravely injured and has been recovering in his cave haven ever since. The sect leader was furious, and one Peak Master even came down the mountain to investigate the Jin Xiao Sect,” Fang Hanyu mentioned the incident as if it didn’t surprise him.

He said reflectively, “Lu Yuanjun is really unlucky, to encounter the Demon Monarch while out on a journey. Fortunately, the Demon Monarch didn’t want to kill him.”

If all four Guardian Kings of the Jin Xiao Sect were that strong, the Demon Monarch’s cultivation was naturally unfathomable. Therefore, although Lu Yuanjun was injured, more people believed that the Demon Monarch had intentionally shown mercy.

After hearing this, Fang Wang thought the same. He even believed that there might be backers from the Jin Xiao Sect within Lu Yuanjun’s faction, or else why would Zhou Xue have joined the Jin Xiao Sect?

The two brothers talked for a long time.

Before leaving, Fang Hanyu informed Fang Wang that once he broke through to the Spirit Elixir Realm, he would come down the mountain to earn sect contributions. He did this firstly because sect contributions could be exchanged for a great amount of cultivation resources—he wanted to help the Fang Family become a cultivation family, and secondly, he was also very interested in the position of the top disciple of the second vein.

After seeing him off, Fang Wang returned to the white jade bed and continued meditating.

Xiao Zi approached and said, “Young Master, you could defeat a fifth-level Cultivator of the Profound Heart Realm six years ago. Sweeping through the Profound Heart Realm shouldn’t be difficult for you now, right?”
