Golden Cloud Sect, Nine Meridians Battle

Whether it was the Emperor of Qi who chose to sacrifice the Fang family, or Lu Yuanjun who chose to slaughter the Fang family, or whether it was simply their men who had their eyes on the Fang family, none of that matters.

The Fang family's near extermination was inextricably linked to them.

Now that the Fang family mansion still exists, Fang Wang has no rush to seek revenge. What he needs to do is cultivate diligently, and when he is strong enough, no one will be able to protect his enemies.

After chatting for a while, the disciples of the Fang family began to talk about matters in the cultivation world. The turmoil caused by the Jihao Sect had subsided. Neither the Heavenly Gang Sacred Body True Skill nor the Nine Dragons Divine Transformation Technique had been obtained by anyone, at least not on the surface. All the major sects involved had suffered casualties.

"Recently, a mysterious sect called the Golden Cloud Sect has appeared in the cultivation world. It is said that it made a strong entry into the competition for magical artifacts between Taiyuan Sect, Taiqing Sect, Qingchan Valley, and Ancient Demon Mountain. A powerful figure from the Golden Cloud Sect single-handedly stood against the elders of the four sects, seized the magical artifacts, and left triumphantly. Tsk tsk, now it is rumored that the cultivation world of the Great Qi will not only have nine sects in the future, but ten sects."

Fang Mo clicked his tongue in amazement, his face full of longing.

They were all hot-blooded young men and women. Who didn't want to make a name for themselves and become a popular figure admired by the masses?

Fang Wang listened with great interest.

Two hours later, the clansmen prepared to leave. Before leaving, Fang Wang distributed all the spirit stones and spirit pills he had received to them, which moved them deeply.

After leaving the cave, Fang Wang watched them fly away on their swords.

Although only half of the people mastered the art of flying on swords, it was enough to carry the other half down the mountain.

The last time they parted, they had to walk down the mountain.

Fang Wang felt even more deeply than the other members of the Fang family, because for him, it was far more than just a year apart.

boom--

The cave entrance next to them opened, and Fang Wang glanced over to see Gu Li walking out of the cave. However, judging from her clothes, she was clearly going out, not coming to see Fang Wang.

"You're finally back."

Gu Li, carrying a sword case, walked up to Fang Wang and smiled. She looked Fang Wang up and down, her eyes full of admiration.

Fang Wang asked with a smile, "Is Miss Gu going on a long trip?"

Gu Li nodded and said, "My family has summoned me back."

Fang Wang suddenly remembered that Zhou Xue had mentioned when they first joined the family that the Gu family would cease to exist in twenty years...

He certainly wouldn't have cared before, but now that they've known each other for so long, Gu Li still went out of her way to find him. He could see her feelings clearly. The thought that Gu Li might die with her family made his heart sink.

Fortunately, it's twenty years later, so when Zhou Xue returns, he can inquire about her in detail.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Gu Li flew away on her sword, quickly disappearing into the vast fog surrounding Taiyuan Gate.

Fang Wang stood there, gazing at the horizon in a daze.

If Zhou Xue had not been reborn, he might have died and never met Gu Li. Gu Li might have also sacrificed herself along with her family. Their fates were originally two lines that never intersected, but now they are intertwined, which shows that destiny can be changed.

Even Zhou Xue, who ascended to become an immortal, ended up dying and having to start cultivating again. Can cultivating immortality really lead to a carefree life?

Is immortality possible?

for a long time.

Fang Wang withdrew his gaze and turned back into his cave.

He must explore the path to immortality himself and seek its true meaning.

……

Spring goes and autumn comes; in the blink of an eye, two years have passed.

Taiyuan Sect was once again hit by heavy snow. Snowflakes filled the sky, and disciples came and went, moving through the snow and mist, appearing small and insignificant in the vast blizzard.

Inside the cave.

Fang Wang was practicing his internal energy. Two years had passed, and he had already reached the eighth level of the Spirit Shaping Realm. At this moment, he was trying to break through to the ninth level of the Spirit Shaping Realm.

The Xuan Yang True Fire surrounded his body, and the Heavenly Palace Halberd appeared and disappeared above his head.

Sudden.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and flames burst forth from them.

A powerful shockwave erupted, shaking everything inside the cave.

Gu Li, who lived in the cave next door, seemed to sense something and opened her eyes to look.

"He's broken through again?"

Gu Li was secretly alarmed. She had returned last year, but she had not seen Fang Wang during that year. Seeing that Fang Wang was in seclusion, she also began to cultivate in seclusion, not wanting to be left too far behind.

She marveled at Fang Wang's talent, but then she remembered her father's words, and her expression darkened.

the other side.

Fang Wang successfully broke through and entered the ninth level of the Spirit Shaping Realm. He began to regulate his breathing.

It took seven days for his aura to stabilize completely. Now his spiritual power is about ten times that of when he faced Li Honggang, which greatly boosted his confidence.

carefree!

Fang Wang did not get up to rest, but continued to cultivate.

When he reached the ninth level of the Spirit Shaping Realm, he vaguely felt changes occurring in the Treasure Spirit Space within his body. He didn't know exactly what those changes were, so he wanted to investigate them further.

When he first entered the Spirit Shaping Realm, he suspected that he could condense a second natal spirit treasure, but he couldn't be sure.

half a month later.

Suddenly, the bell of the Third Branch rang out, and not only the Third Branch, but also the bells of the other peaks rang out one after another, waking up all the disciples who were cultivating.

Fang Wang took out his disciple token, and Yang Yuanzi's voice came from it:

"All disciples, including direct disciples, assemble immediately in front of the Qingxin Hall!"

Fang Wang immediately put the disciple token into his storage bag, then got up, straightened his robes, and took the Qingjun Sword as he walked out of the cave.

As soon as he stepped out of the cave, he saw Gu Li.

Gu Li nodded slightly to him, then took to the air on her sword.

Seeing her leave without saying a word made Fang Wang feel a little uncomfortable. Then he saw Gu Li stop in mid-air, turn around and look at him, asking, "Senior Brother Fang, why aren't you leaving?"

Fang Wang shook his head and chuckled, then followed Gu Li on his sword.

The two rode side by side, flying together on their swords to the mountaintop. Figures flew out from the entire Third Vein, all heading towards the mountaintop, creating a spectacular scene.

The two moved quickly and did not exchange any words along the way. They arrived at the Qingxin Hall in no time. As soon as they landed, a group of disciples surrounded them, with the eldest disciple, Li Yu, leading the group.

Fang Wang and Gu Li were teased by the other disciples, but Gu Li didn't refute them, making it difficult for Fang Wang to clarify and embarrass her.

"Senior Brother, what exactly happened that caused such a commotion?" Fang Wang asked, seizing the opportunity.

Li Yu said, "It should be the Nine Meridians Battle. It was originally scheduled for three years later, but because the Great Qi Dynasty is about to transform into a cultivation dynasty, it started earlier. It is said that there will be a great opportunity after the Nine Meridians Battle ends."

These words made the disciples even more curious.

A great opportunity?

Fang Wang was very interested in the Nine Meridians Battle. The cultivation outline recorded that every ten years, the disciples of the Nine Meridians would compete in a battle to determine the ranking of the Meridian Peak. The higher the ranking, the more cultivation resources they would receive. Many of the senior disciples had been the strongest in a single Nine Meridians Battle.

As one of the nine major sects, Taiyuan Sect has spies left by various sects and families. Whoever can stand out in the Nine Meridians Battle can become famous in the cultivation world. Lu Yuanjun also became famous in this way. After becoming famous, Taiyuan Sect announced that he was a mid-grade Earth Yuan Treasure Spirit, which made his reputation even higher.

More and more disciples arrived, but none dared to participate in the exchanges between the sword-wielding disciples and the direct disciples, forming circles in the open space in front of the Qingxin Hall.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

Someone said something that made everyone turn to look, including Fang Wang.

The Emperor of Great Qi arrived on his sword, dressed in the robes of a sword-wielding disciple. He was tall and imposing, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. The snow covering him could not conceal his figure, and he seemed to exude a dragon-like aura, making him stand out from the other disciples.

The emperor's name was Zhao Zhen. He ascended the throne at the age of thirteen and was the third emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty. Emperor Gaozu of Qi died of illness less than ten years after establishing the dynasty. Zhao Zhen's father ascended the throne at the age of thirty, but died less than two years after becoming emperor. Therefore, although Zhao Zhen was young, he was already the longest-reigning emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty.

Under the watchful eyes of the disciples, Zhao Zhen walked forward and came to Li Yu, Fang Wang and others. He raised his hand in greeting and said with a smile, "Zhao Zhen greets all senior brothers and sisters."

His gaze swept across the area, not lingering on Fang Wang.

Li Yu smiled warmly and said, "Junior Brother Zhao, there's no need for such formalities. By the way, this is your Senior Brother Fang Wang. He comes from the Fang State Duke's Mansion in Nanqiu City. You two can get closer to each other, after all, you used to be subjects of each other."

Zhao Zhen's gaze followed to Fang Wang, and he revealed a gentle smile, saying, "The Duke of Fang has made numerous military achievements for the Great Qi, which I greatly respect. Now that the Duke of Fang's mansion has produced a prodigy like Senior Brother Fang Wang, the Fang family will surely become a family of cultivators, pursuing immortality."
