Protective Divine Aura, Great Heavenly Lightning Summoning Technique

"Don't tell anyone? Then I'll tell you, how about that?" Fang Wang looked at Zhou Xingshi and asked with a smile.

Zhou Xingshi's expression changed slightly, and he quickly said, "Senior Brother Fang, please don't joke with me. How could I dare to have such thoughts?"

Fang Wang shook his head and laughed, "I'm not joking. From now on, you're one of my people, and naturally I hope you become stronger. Go back now, and come back in seven days to collect these two jade slips."

Zhou Xingshi was overjoyed upon hearing this, but dared not show it. He could only agree and then get up to leave.

After taking only two steps, he suddenly remembered something and turned back, saying, "By the way, the sect leader asked me to remind you that you can still do the tasks assigned to the Third Branch as usual. They can hone your combat experience and temper your Dao heart. You can ask him for anything you need, but the rewards for the tasks will not change in the public eye."

Zhou Xingshi was filled with emotion. He couldn't help but feel a chill when he thought about Fang Wang possessing the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Spirit.

That's the legendary Heavenly Yuan Treasure Spirit!

The Heavenly Yuan Treasure Spirit has never appeared in the cultivation world of the Great Qi since ancient times.

Zhou Xingshi would not question Guang Qiuxian's judgment, because his spirit was truly terrified that day, and afterwards he learned that all the spirits of the Taiyuan Sect were out of control. How could a spirit possess such power so soon after it was formed, except for the legendary Tianyuan spirit?

Fang Wang nodded, then picked up a jade slip from the table on his own.

Seeing this, Zhou Xingshi stopped disturbing them and quickly left.

After the cave gates closed, Fang Wang looked at the jade slip in his hand and thought to himself, "Zhou Xingshi, are you one of my people or the sect leader's? Let's see how you perform."

He did keep Yang Yuanzi's words in mind; he would never completely trust anyone, at least not in his heart.

Fang Wang felt that the so-called "Ten Thousand Poisons Spring and Autumn Insect" was more than just chanting incantations in front of him. Chanting incantations was probably just to prevent Zhou Xingshi from attacking him. Yang Yuanzi must have other methods, at least remotely controlling Zhou Xingshi's life and death.

This is interesting. Zhou Xingshi's life and death are controlled by Yang Yuanzi, and he is also acting on behalf of Guang Qiuxian. Now he is also assisting Fang Wang. With three identities, he must be extremely uncomfortable.

Fang Wang began to use his divine sense to read the jade slip in his hand.

He first read four large characters.

Protective Divine Power!

……

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Xingshi arrived as scheduled. Inside the cave, he held two jade slips and asked hesitantly, "Really for me? And in such a short time, you've completely memorized all the cultivation methods?"

Fang Wang nodded and said, "It's not hard to remember. You can use it to cultivate."

For Zhou Xingshi, it was only seven days, but for Fang Wang, it was 138 years.

Inside the Heavenly Palace, it took him forty years to cultivate the Protective Divine Qi and ninety-eight years to cultivate the Great Heavenly Thunder-Attracting Technique.

Protective Divine Aura, as the name suggests, is a defensive spell.

The Great Heavenly Lightning Summoning Technique is extremely powerful, summoning lightning from the heavens to descend upon the world and destroy enemies; its power is boundless.

Judging from the length of his practice, Guangqiu Xian was indeed thorough, employing only superior methods.

Ordinary cultivators spend most of their time absorbing Qi each day, and the time they spend cultivating spells rarely exceeds one-third. For example, if one wants to cultivate the Body Protection Divine Aura to the Great Perfection, it would probably take hundreds of years, and that's assuming one's aptitude is similar to Fang Wang's.

Not to mention the Great Heavenly Lightning Summoning Technique, it is a Daoist technique that most disciples of the Taiyuan Sect would never be able to come into contact with in their entire lives.

As a direct disciple, Fang Wang could also go to the Dao Fa Pavilion to select three superior Dao Fa techniques, but he had no such plans for the time being. Currently, he already had his own combat methods, so he might as well focus his energy on accumulating cultivation.

Zhou Xingshi looked at the two jade slips in his hand, his heart filled with emotion.

He survived because Fang Wang spoke up for him. Now, before he has even done anything, Fang Wang has already bestowed upon him two unique skills. How could he not be moved?

However, he is not the kind of person who likes to express himself.

"good!"

Zhou Xingshi responded, bowed, and took his leave.

Only after the cave gates were closed could Wang finally focus on his cultivation.

It's just a way to win people's hearts; if it can, that's naturally a good thing. If not, he won't lose anything.

……

As autumn passed and winter arrived, the snow finally fell, covering the peaks of Taiyuanmen with a blanket of white snow, creating a vast and unique atmosphere.

A giant flying sword pierced through the vast snow and landed in front of the city gate of the giant city inside Taiyuan Gate.

Two figures jumped down from the flying sword. One of them was the Emperor of Great Qi, who was disguised and looked like a scholar.

The Taiyuan Sect disciple standing on the flying sword looked down at him and said, "Your token only allows you to stay for one month. You must leave on your own after one month, otherwise our Enforcement Hall will not be so lenient with you."

After saying this, the disciple flew away on his sword.

After he disappeared into the vast snow, a young man behind the Emperor of Qi curled his lip and said, "Your Majesty, this man is truly arrogant, simply..."

"Shut up! Don't talk nonsense!"

The Emperor of Qi spoke in a cold, low voice, which frightened the young man into silencing him and daring not to utter another word.

As the snow fell heavily, the Emperor of Great Qi patted the snow off his head, gazing at the majestic city walls with longing in his eyes. He said softly, "Let's go, let's go see this immortal land."

Amidst the vast expanse of snow, a master and his servant walked toward the city gate. Their figures were so small, as if they might be buried by the snow at any moment.

the other side.

On the third mountain peak, the gate of a cave opened, and Fang Wang led his six clansmen out, chatting and laughing.

"Brother Fang Wang, we're leaving now."

"You must cultivate diligently after you return."

"Hehe, with Brother Thirteen's guidance, we will definitely cultivate diligently."

"Fang Wang, don't worry, I will definitely become an inner disciple!"

Fang Wang stopped and watched them descend the mountain.

Ten months have passed since they joined the Taiyuan Sect. These disciples of the Fang family, selected by Zhou Xue, have all cultivated spiritual power and embarked on the path of cultivation. The highest cultivation level has reached the third level of the Qi Nourishing Realm. However, their sword control skills are not yet perfected, so they cannot fly down the mountain on their swords and can only walk down the mountain.

As the snow fell heavily, Fang Wang felt a surge of warmth as he watched his people gradually disappear into the pale white landscape.

In my past life, I read fantasy novels and thought the path of cultivation was lonely and desolate. Now, with this group of people by my side, I feel a sense of security and support. This feeling is quite nice.

At this moment, Fang Wang suddenly understood why Zhou Xue wanted to cultivate immortality with the disciples of the Fang family. Besides the plan, companionship and support were also very important. Being isolated and helpless might stimulate potential, but it would also be very tiring.

Suddenly, the gate to the cave next door opened, and Gu Li walked out. Fang Wang felt a headache coming on as soon as he saw her.

This girl has really set her sights on him.

Every time he came out, she would follow him out of the cave if she was still inside.

Gu Li walked naturally to Fang Wang's side and asked, "Are they all your people?"

Fang Wang could only politely reply, "Yes, we grew up together."

Gu Li raised her right hand, gently brushing a strand of hair aside, and said, "I really envy you. In our Gu family, only I came to Taiyuan Sect; everyone else went to other sects."

To ensure their longevity, cultivation families often disperse their disciples to different sects. The Fang family has only recently entered the cultivation world and does not yet have this foundation.

The two started chatting. Fang Wang had been practicing for a long time and wanted to enjoy the scenery, so he kept her company while she chatted.

Most of the time, Gu Li was the one talking and Fang Wang was the one listening.

"By the way, have you successfully formed your spirit? Why can't I see through your cultivation level? Could it be that you have surpassed me?" Gu Li asked curiously, her big, bright eyes staring at Fang Wang with an unusual gleam.

Unable to withstand her gaze, Fang Wang looked into the distance and said, "Yes, the spirit formation was successful, a high-grade Xuan Yuan Treasure Spirit."

His cultivation had reached the third level of the Spirit Shaping Realm, not far from the fourth level, while Gu Li was still at the first level of the Spirit Shaping Realm, so naturally she couldn't see through his cultivation level.

"Guess what rank my spirit treasure is?" Gu Li blinked and asked with a smile, covering her mouth.

Fang Wang knew immediately that she was better than him. No wonder she was able to become a personal disciple so quickly. He had previously thought that the Gu family had used their wealth, but now it seemed that her aptitude was the key.

It seems Zhou Xue was right. Even without him, Taiyuan Sect would still become the strongest sect in the cultivation world of Daqi.

"Earthly Elemental Treasure Spirit?" Fang Wang asked, feigning caution.

"Hmm, a low-grade Earthly Yuan Treasure Spirit. Although its grade is slightly higher than yours, your cultivation level has been surpassed by yours. It seems that your cultivation technique is stronger than mine. Shall we spar again when we are about to break through to the Spirit Core Realm?" Gu Li nodded, looking expectant.

Good heavens, so that's what they were planning.

Fang Wang thought Gu Li had fallen for him, but it turned out she was just unwilling to admit defeat.

In that case, he felt no burden. He immediately raised his chin and laughed, "Alright, you'd better cultivate well. I'll be waiting for you to challenge me at each major realm."

"It's a deal!"

"Um!"

The two smiled at each other, and then Gu Li began to talk about the local customs and culture of Beiluo and introduce her family.

Half an hour later, the bell rang at the third branch.

Fang Wang had heard this bell twice before. It was a signal for a lineage mission. He hadn't paid any attention to it before, as direct disciples could ignore these missions.

"Let's go, let's go take a look. We can't always stay cooped up in the cave."

Gu Li suggested it, and Fang Wang hesitated for a moment before nodding.

For some reason, hearing the bell made him feel inexplicably uneasy, as if something bad had happened.

The two flew on their swords towards the Qingxin Hall atop the mountain.

Disciples flew out from various caves on the third mountain peak, all heading towards the summit, eventually gathering in front of the Qingxin Hall.

Upon seeing Fang Wang and Gu Li arrive, many disciples immediately surrounded them with great enthusiasm. Some male disciples secretly clenched their fists, thinking that the two had already established some kind of relationship.

Some of the female disciples who were secretly smitten were also saddened. This Senior Brother Fang was so handsome, but unfortunately he already had a Daoist partner he liked.

The eldest disciple, Li Yu, stood on the steps with his hands behind his back. When he saw Fang Wang approaching, he immediately nodded to Fang Wang and smiled.

After a while, once most of the disciples had arrived, Li Yu finally spoke: "I have summoned everyone here today because the disciples of the Second Branch have encountered trouble and need the assistance of our Third Branch. This mission is entirely voluntary and requires us to go to the territory of the Demonic Cult."

Is the second lineage disciple in trouble?

Fang Wang immediately thought of Fang Hanyu, who had been gone for several months and had not returned. When he was chatting with his clansmen earlier, the youngest, Fang Xin, was still worried about him.

As soon as Li Yu finished speaking, a disciple immediately questioned why the matter of the second branch was being discussed with the third branch.
