After seven days, Fang Wang had stabilized his cultivation level. He began to pack up his belongings, preparing to leave. Upon seeing this, Xiao Zi immediately became excited.

“Young Master, where are you planning to go?” Xiao Zi asked.

Fang Wang replied casually, “To the Sword Heaven Marsh.”

He could create multiple Lifespirit Treasures, a fact he intended to keep secret. Now, the world believed he was a sword cultivator, which was a good thing.

Only enemies on the brink of death would have the chance to witness all of his treasures!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zi was happy as long as they were leaving the Great Abyss Gate. It immediately joined Fang Wang on his shoulder.

After packing, Fang Wang hung three storage bags around his waist and, together with the Qingjun Sword, he walked out of the cave entrance.

The Qingjun Sword could be put into a storage bag, but he felt it looked more impressive hanging at his waist.

His first stop was to visit Guang Qiuxian to let him know he’d be going out for a while.

“I won’t ask where you’re going, but there’s something I need you to do,” Guang Qiuxian said with a chuckle, looking at Fang Wang with expectation in his eyes.

Fang Wang smiled, “Please tell me, Sect Leader. I’ve been in seclusion for so many years; it’s time to show my divine skills.”

Guang Qiuxian nodded, and said, “A year ago, we learned that the Chi Devil Sect got their hands on a treasure, a treasure that hasn’t been seen in the Grand Qi Cultivation Realm in a thousand years. However, the Chi Devil Sect seems to have run into trouble and can’t get the treasure to recognize a master. So, they’re gathering their followers to hold a grand sacrifice, offering a million living beings to awaken the spirit of the treasure.”

“The Suspended Vast Sword Sect, Tian Shu Sect, and I have discussed it— we plan to take this opportunity to completely eradicate the Chi Devil Sect. Considering the time, I suspect the Chi Devil Sect’s sacrifice is about to begin. The exact date hasn’t been pinned down by the spy I planted, but with the token of the head disciple, you can search the locations where most of the names on this list are concentrated.”

With a wave of his hand, Guang Qiuxian sent a piece of yellow paper flying into Fang Wang’s hand.

Fang Wang glanced at it without changing his expression.

But he had already caught three names.

Fang Hanyu, Fang Zigeng, Gu Li!

Without delay, Fang Wang stored the yellow paper in his storage bag, saluted Guang Qiuxian, and turned to leave.

Watching Fang Wang’s retreating figure, Guang Qiuxian asked on a whim, “What would you do if you encountered Lu Yuanjun?”

Fang Wang stopped in his tracks, answering without turning around, “A traitor to the sect deserves only death.”

Guang Qiuxian frowned slightly and sighed, “Go then. Remember, you are the top disciple of the Great Abyss Gate, and you will be our Sect Leader in the future.”

Fang Wang turned his head, smiling at Guang Qiuxian, “Sect Leader, I will not bring shame to the Great Abyss Gate.”

After that, he lifted his foot and left the Shiyuan Hall.

Guang Qiuxian’s gaze became distant as if recalling the past, and a hint of sorrow appeared in his eyes.

…

After leaving the main meridian, Fang Wang flew directly towards the Sect’s Main City. Along the way, he put on a bamboo hat and slightly lowered his head, making it difficult for people to see his face.

He made his way to the Daofa Pavilion, flashing his identity as the head disciple, and ordered someone to lead him to the top floor—he was going to practice the art of sealing.

In the highest loft of the pavilion, only a few people walked around, all of whom were elders and peak masters. When they saw Fang Wang approaching, they smiled and nodded at him. No one spoke; Fang Wang smiled and nodded back in response.

The head disciple had access to all the cultivation techniques of the Great Abyss Gate because to become one, you must first have made a substantial contribution.

Shelves after shelves of books stood there, each in front of which hung wooden signs marking the type of spells.

Fang Wang directly went to the shelf dedicated to the art of sealing. There were numerous jade slips on the shelf, and next to each slip, there was a piece of yellow paper describing the spell inside the jade slip.

Two hours later.

Fang Wang walked out of the Daofa Pavilion. He slightly raised his head, and the sunlight shone upon his face, making his expression appear worn.

He took a leap and turned into a beam of white light, speeding towards the outside of the Great Abyss Gate.

“Young Master, you looked at so many spells; can you remember all of them?” Xiao Zi poked its head out from Fang Wang’s arms and looked up at him, asking cautiously.

Here it comes again, this strange state!

Fang Wang had a vacant look in his eyes as he stared at the horizon and said quietly, “I can.”

It was more than just being able to remember them.

Damn it, he had already mastered all of them to Great Perfection!

A full five hundred and twenty years!

Fang Wang even felt he was being harsh on himself, but there was no helping it. The creation of his fourth Lifespirit Treasure was at stake, so he had to be tough on himself.

The Great Abyss Gate’s sealing spells were not many and were less intricate than those of the Tian Shu Sect, but they were enough for Fang Wang to establish an exceedingly high level of mastery in the art of sealing.

Five hundred and twenty years was not spent on learning a single spell, but rather on seven complete sets, with the most profound set taking one hundred and six years of work.

As Fang Wang left the Great Abyss Gate, he organized his thoughts.

“Right, what was I preparing to do before entering the Daofa Pavilion?” Fang Wang suddenly asked.

Xiao Zi’s snake eyes widened as it quickly responded, “Going to Sword Heaven Marsh.”

“Besides that?”

“The Sect Leader wants you to go to the Chi Devil Sect.”

Only then did Fang Wang remember, and he said with satisfaction, “Good memory. I was just testing you. Keep it up.”

“Young Master, it’s only been such a short time, how could I possibly forget…”

“I was concerned you weren’t listening. We are now dependent on each other; my business is your business, understand? You must think of us as one entity.”

“Fang Wang spoke seriously, and no sooner had the words left his mouth than Xiao Zi became excited, instinctively lunging forward until her forked tongue nearly touched Fang Wang’s mouth. He quickly stuffed it back in, startled.”

“This damn snake, trying to rise above her station again!”

“Master, rest assured, I will focus from now on!” Xiao Zi said excitedly, her delicate feminine voice stirring the imagination.

Fang Wang did not engage further.

His heart was still numb, requiring time to recover.

Soon, he left the Great Abyss Gate. He had Xiao Zi enlarge and carry him as they flew.

Xiao Zi had mastered a flying spell, which was also an inheritance from the Great Saint’s Grotto-Heaven.

Sitting atop the snake’s head, Fang Wang extended his spiritual sense into the Token for the First Disciple, seeking the locations of Fang Hanyu, Fang Zigeng, and Gu Li. Their light spots were concentrated in one place, surrounded by over a hundred disciples, in the southwest direction.

An idea came to Fang Wang’s mind, and he immediately sent a message through Fang Hanyu’s disciple token, “If you need my help, make a large detour.”

Then he kept his spiritual sense fixed on Fang Hanyu’s light spot.

Ordinary disciple tokens couldn’t send messages to the sect’s or higher-level tokens; they could only receive orders.

After a while, Fang Hanyu moved, and indeed, made a circle.

Fang Wang smiled, then sent another message, “I’ll come find you in a few days.”

With that, he stored the Token for the First Disciple in his storage bag.

…

Thunderclouds rolled and barren mountains stretched on endlessly. Flocks of crows occasionally skimmed over the mountain tops.

In a forested area, Tai Yuan Sect disciples were gathered, each sitting in meditation under twelve large flags that floated above them, forming a formation that concealed their presence and figures.

Fang Hanyu returned to Fang Zigeng’s side with a smile on his face.

Fang Zigeng opened his eyes and looked at him, “Where did you go?”

Sitting down, Fang Hanyu replied softly, “The First Disciple just sent me a message. He’ll come see us in a few days.”

The First Disciple?

Fang Zigeng was stunned, then realization dawned upon him, his eyes lighting up, he asked in a low voice, “Fang Wang?”

“Hmm.”

Fang Hanyu nodded lightly, clearly very happy despite the cloth covering his eyes.

Fang Zigeng exhaled a breath of relief, as if a great burden had been lifted.

It had been almost half a month since they arrived here, and Fang Zigeng was always on edge, as his cultivation level was at the bottom among the team members. If they really encountered an attack from the Chi Devil Sect, he would be in the most danger.

Fang Zigeng looked up and muttered, “I wonder how much longer we’ll have to wait before we can act.”

Fang Hanyu began his cultivation practice and calmly said, “Just wait, we can’t rush this matter, all three sects must act together.”

Meanwhile.

Hundreds of miles away, inside a cave.

Lu Yuanjun was sitting crossed-legged on a stone bed, a black gourd hanging at his waist, from which Zhao Zhen’s spirit floated out, hovering over Lu Yuanjun’s shoulder.

At this moment, they were frowning at the person before them.

Once the Vice Sect Leader of the Great Abyss Gate, Chen Anshi!

“Has Fang Wang not yet finished his seclusion?” Lu Yuanjun asked in a grave tone, looking displeased.

How many years had it been!

How could that kid hold back?

Chen Anshi’s face was complex as he said in a haunting voice, “According to the information from my people, Fang Wang has already broken through the Condensation Spirit Realm and is consolidating his cultivation in seclusion. It’s not certain when he will come out.”

The Condensation Spirit Realm!

Lu Yuanjun’s face grew even darker.

Zhao Zhen remarked with a sigh, “How old is he? Seems like he’s only forty-three. To reach the Condensation Spirit Realm at such an age is terrifying. In at most fifty years, he will surpass the Condensation Spirit Realm, and by then, wouldn’t he be capable of sweeping the entire Grand Qi Cultivation Realm on his own?”

Chen Anshi nodded, “That’s indeed possible. However, the Grand Qi Cultivation Realm doesn’t offer any cultivation techniques for higher realms. If he wants to pursue a higher realm, he’ll have to leave the Grand Qi Cultivation Realm.”

Not all cultivation techniques can be continually broken through; every technique reaches a certain limit. The Nine Great Sects’ most advanced cultivation techniques only reach the Condensation Spirit Realm. Also, there are too few such techniques, which is why there are not many cultivators at that level. Those who reach it are without exception exceptional talents.

“If he leaves the Grand Qi Cultivation Realm, the next time we meet him, he might already be a True Immortal of the Mortal Realm,” Zhao Zhen sighed.

“Why did we have to encounter such a genius? Fate really likes to play tricks on us. If it weren’t for Fang Wang, I would continue my path to immortality. Lu Yuanjun would have become the Sect Leader of the Great Abyss Gate smoothly. In the future, he might even become the most powerful person in the Grand Qi Cultivation Realm. And Senior Chen could have completed his mission and we all would have been joyous. But, alas, along came the anomaly, Fang Wang. How can one person’s power reach such an extent? Ah! It’s so unfair!”

Zhao Zhen’s words touched both Lu Yuanjun and Chen Anshi.

Indeed!

If one disregarded Fang Wang, all their plans would have been successful!

Chen Anshi sighed and said, “There’s also the Jin Xiao Sect. Who knows where that Demon Monarch came from, saving so many who were destined to die, forming a force not to be underestimated. It seems foreign powers have infiltrated Grand Qi. Their intentions are unclear.”

Lu Yuanjun said coldly, “No matter what, we must wait for Fang Wang to come out. If he doesn’t come out, then we must find a way to force him out. I suppose members of the Great Abyss Gate are already nearby. Find a way to capture them.”

Chen Anshi squinted and asked, “What about killing a few Fang Family members to make him hurry?”

“No, that will anger him. Given his cultivation, if he loses his reason, it’s hard to imagine what could happen. If he currently feels no pressure, he’s more likely to become complacent,” Lu Yuanjun shook his head.
