“It’s hard to say, after all, I haven’t crossed hands with someone at the Ninth Level of the Profound Heart Realm. Do you really know the strength of someone at that level? In my view, the distinction between strength and weakness depends not on one’s realm but on who the opponent is.”

Fang Wang answered, feeling the weight of his own strength in his heart.

Although he was just twenty-six years old, he had spent over fifteen hundred years cultivating those exceptional skills, and his strength could no longer be defined by his realm alone.

However, his current goal was to break through the Profound Heart Realm.

Having already reached the eighth level of the Spirit Elixir Realm, he naturally wanted to push through to the Profound Heart Realm in one go. At that point, he would have the confidence to face all powerful enemies and dangers.

Afterward, he would take the time to do tasks, ensuring his contribution exceeded that of Lu Yuanjun, and then he would seize the position of chief disciple and become a candidate for Sect Leader.

Such actions would mean not only revenge but also bringing more benefits to his family.

The so-called cultivation is about more than just aptitude; it’s more importantly about fortune, and what is fortune?

Resources are fortune!

Xiao Zi flattered, “Master is right, with your talent, another hundred years of cultivation, pushing aside all in this world, what difficulty could there be? Indeed, you must not be careless now.”

After leaving the Great Saint’s Grotto-Heaven, it learned of Fang Wang’s age and time spent cultivating, greatly surprising it.

When it had been cultivating for ten years, let alone defeating a Demon King, it didn’t even count as a Spirit Demon…

That’s precisely why it now held great expectations for Fang Wang.

In the secret realms of the Great Saint’s Grotto-Heaven, it had witnessed many ancient wonders, fully aware that becoming an Immortal was exceptionally difficult, with an Immortal emerging perhaps once in a thousand years—those who achieved it were invariably individuals with peerless talent and overwhelming fortune.

Fang Wang’s talent had shocked it, and his fortune hardly needed elaboration—his gains within the Great Saint’s Grotto-Heaven alone were tremendous.

The Golden Scale White Feather Robe, the Demon King’s Demon Pill, and that mysterious wall—it seriously suspected that Fang Wang had already learned the mystic legacy from that wall.

It had to cling tightly to such a powerful ally; should Fang Wang become an Immortal in the future, wouldn’t it be able to ascend to heaven alongside him?

Fang Wang took out the black Jiaolong’s Demon Pill from his storage bag and handed it to Xiao Zi, saying, “This Demon Pill won’t be of use for a while. When I decide to use it in the future, killing a Demon King won’t be difficult. I’m giving it to you. While I cultivate, you must also strive to become stronger. In a few years, we will roam the world together, endeavoring to become living legends.”

“Thank you, Master. I will go through fire and water for you in the future!”

Xiao Zi was incredibly excited, wrapping its tail around the Demon Pill and licking it twice with an enchanted expression.

“Aim to transform into a dragon—afterward, I’ll be the Divine Dragon Immortal Monarch.”

“The Divine Dragon Immortal Monarch? That sounds so domineering. I’ll cultivate diligently. In the future, I will let Master ride me.”

“It’s ‘ride the dragon’, not ‘ride on the dragon’!”

“What’s the difference?”

The two of them, one person and one snake, chatted and dreamed about the future.

Zhou Xue had advised Fang Wang to set aside his hatred for the time being and concentrate on cultivation. Listening to her words, Fang Wang now felt she was right. His greatest advantage was his speed of cultivation; as long as he kept growing stronger, let alone taking revenge, it wouldn’t even be difficult to have the final say in the Great Abyss Gate one day.

As long as he was powerful enough, whether it was Lu Yuanjun or Zhao Zhen, righteousness or evil, he would be the one to decide!

…

Time flies like an arrow. Fang Wang, who had stayed indoors, kept on with his seclusion. Since the day Fang Hanyu left, he hadn’t come to visit again, and other disciples from the Fang Residence didn’t dare to disturb him, either.

Nearly two years passed.

Fang Wang’s cultivation finally reached the ninth level of the Spirit Elixir Realm, where the difficulty of cultivating the last layer far exceeded that of the previous ones, but fortunately, his Solaris Scripture was a supreme practice.

The Profound Heart Realm differed from the Spirit Elixir Realm; it didn’t rely on external objects but on comprehending the nature of heaven and earth to condense the heart into a Profound Heart, which is the heart that comprehends the profound mysteries of the Dao.

The Profound Heart Realm is considered a first-class realm in the Grand Qi Cultivation Realm, while the higher Condensation Spirit Realm is as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, very hard to encounter.

Breaking through to the Profound Heart Realm emphasized perception and serendipity.

One day, Fang Wang rarely left his cave abode, going to the brink of a cliff to admire the majestic scenery of the Great Abyss Gate. Xiao Zi slithered over his shoulder and into his chest, peeking out its snake head.

Eight years of cultivation had completely transformed Xiao Zi into a purple snake, its scales reflecting a strange cold light under the sunlight.

It was now summer, with the fierce sun hanging high. None of the ten peaks of the Great Abyss Gate were shrouded in thick fog, all revealing their grandeur, soaring into the clouds, magnificent and majestic. One look over the scenery was refreshing and invigorating.

The ten peaks surrounded the Sect’s Main City like a pair of hands cradling it. As Fang Wang looked into the distance, he could see disciples from various peaks flying with swords and rows of white cranes passing by.

“Living like this, cultivating all the time, it’s quite nice too,” Fang Wang suddenly reflected, isolated from the mundane world, temporarily forgetting hatred, and focusing on cultivation—wasn’t this the life of cultivation he had fantasized about?

Xiao Zi twisted its head and looked up at Fang Wang, asking, “Master, don’t you want to become the Divine Dragon Immortal Monarch anymore?”

For it, staying in one place for too long lost its appeal, perhaps because the three hundred years it spent in the Great Saint’s Grotto-Heaven shaped this mindset, giving it the desire to flee from environments where it lingered too long.

“Of course not, it’s just a passing remark,” Fang Wang replied with a light chuckle.

In his previous life, he hadn’t traveled the world and lived rather ordinarily. This life, having decided from a young age to traverse mountains and rivers, he had quietly practiced martial arts. He did so to avoid revealing his talents, to prevent the Fang Family from placing too many expectations on him, binding him. Now that he was cultivating, his desire to travel the world remained unchanged.

Once he had helped the Fang Residence firmly embark on the path of cultivation and eliminated their enemies, he intended to see the world beyond Grand Qi.

Just then,

Fang Wang heard the rumbling sound of the sect gate opening behind him. Glancing over, he saw Gu Li walking out from her cave dwelling. She approached Fang Wang and asked, “Have you concluded your seclusion?”

“Just came out for some fresh air. It’s been many years, Miss Gu, how goes your practice?” Fang Wang asked with a smile.

Gu Li had clearly cultivated some advanced technique for concealing her aura, and Fang Wang was unable to see through her cultivation level.

Truly worthy of the northern Luo Gu Family.

Gu Li looked at him with a subtle gaze and in a soft voice said, “Not bad, but definitely not comparable to you… Fang Wang, is your Lifespirit Treasure really of the Heaven Yuan grade?”

Heaven Yuan grade?

Fang Wang was caught off guard by her words and feigned astonishment, “How is that possible? Why would you ask that?”

Could something have happened in the past two years?

Fang Wang instantly thought of Guang Qiuxian. Could it be Guang Qiuxian trusted Vice Sect Leader Chen Anshi too much and revealed his treasure’s grade?

“Now, the entire Grand Qi Cultivation Realm is abuzz with this news, saying that Great Abyss Gate has discovered an extraordinary genius with a Heaven Yuan Spirit Treasure, named Fang Wang,” Gu Li replied, her eyes burning when she looked at him.

She wanted to hear Fang Wang himself admit it.

Fang Wang showed a wry smile, helplessly asking, “Who’s been saying that? How come I don’t know that my treasure is a Heaven Yuan Spirit Treasure?”

Gu Li continued to gaze intently at him, saying, “I don’t know who spread the rumor, but this news has been circulating for a year. Last month, the Tian Shu Sect’s elder Supreme Fu Xuanji declared after divining the heavens that Great Abyss Gate has indeed given birth to a talent surpassing those with Earth Origin Spirit Treasures…”

Tian Shu Sect, one of the Nine Great Sects, is considered righteous and has a relationship with Great Abyss Gate that is neither too good nor too bad.

Hearing this, Fang Wang appeared composed but internally was bewildered.

Had the grade of his treasure been spread throughout the world?

Although he had previously thought about elevating his treasure’s grade, he had never intended to expose it as being of the Heaven Yuan grade.

Zhou Xue had mentioned before that in his previous life, Great Abyss Gate almost faced destruction due to being invaded by the Demonic Dao because it produced several talents with Earth Origin Spirit Treasures. It was only after surviving this calamity that Great Abyss Gate transformed and eventually became the strongest sect in Grand Qi.

Now that his Heaven Yuan Spirit Treasure was exposed, could it hasten this calamity?

“You have no idea what a stir your Heaven Yuan Spirit Treasure has caused. Even my father wrote to me, insisting that I must foster good relations with you…” Gu Li said with emotion. For some reason, her ears turned red by the end of her sentence.

“Wow, young master, your treasure is of the Heaven Yuan grade!”

Xiao Zi poked her head out from Fang Wang’s embrace and asked excitedly.

Fang Wang pressed the snake’s head back into his arms and followed up with, “What did master say? And what’s the Sect Leader’s attitude, he surely doesn’t believe it, right?”

Gu Li replied, “Master instructed us not to disturb you and forbade disciples from the other lineages from visiting, fearing it would affect your cultivation. As for the Sect Leader, I’m not sure about his stance, but all of the nine peak’s masters were summoned by him. What exactly was said, the Direct Disciples don’t know. If you hadn’t come out on your own, I wouldn’t have bothered you.”

Her gaze towards Fang Wang was filled with wonder.

A living Heaven Yuan Spirit Treasure!

Her first reaction upon learning of this was disbelief, then an epiphany, followed by restored confidence.

No wonder she couldn’t compare to Fang Wang, the disparity in their treasure’s grade was vast.

Without comparing herself to Fang Wang, she remained a talent rarely seen in a century.

Fang Wang remained silent.

HIs mind flooded with various consequences but recalling his own cultivation level and considering Zhou Xue’s existence, he was filled with confidence.

As long as he broke through to the Ninth Level of Profound Heart Realm, even if someone from the Condensation Spirit Realm took action against him, he might not lack the power to counter-kill!

“Things have come to this… I can only be frank. Indeed, my treasure is a Heaven Yuan Spirit Treasure. I had intended to interact with you all as having a Mysterious Origin grade treasure, but I never expected…”

Fang Wang took a deep breath, his face etched with a worried expression, seemingly like one who stands alone in lofty isolation.

Although Gu Li found his words peculiar, she didn’t dwell on it. She spoke with renewed vigor, “Your fame now surpasses Lu Yuanjun. Everyone in the sect agrees that you are Great Abyss Gate’s number one genius, and some even suggest you should be groomed as the next Sect Leader!”
