The Turbulent Times of the Cultivation World

Fang Wang followed Fang Hanyu out of the cave, and the two parted ways. Fang Hanyu returned to his cave to cultivate, while Fang Wang flew to the sect's main city. (-_-) ❻➈𝐒h𝓤𝓧.𝔠Ⓞ𝓜 (-_-)

He donated one-tenth of his harvest from the Great Sage Cave Heaven to the sect in exchange for contribution points.

He arrived at the mission hall and found Elder Zhang. When he took out a batch of rare and precious materials, Elder Zhang was astonished, thinking there were far too many.

Elder Zhang couldn't handle the task alone, so he called over several disciples to help with the calculations.

In the end, Fang Wang gained 790,000 contribution points, breaking into the top 20 of the Third Branch's contribution list. Elder Zhang praised Fang Wang for his broad vision and said he would definitely report the matter to the main branch. The disciples of the Mission Hall also looked at Fang Wang with admiration.

After exchanging pleasantries for a long time, Fang Wang finally left the mission hall.

Upon returning to the Third Branch, Fang Wang did not go directly back to his cave. Instead, he went to the mountaintop to visit his master, Yang Yuanzi, who happened to be there.

Upon entering the Qingxin Hall, Fang Wang bowed and said, "Master, I have presented a batch of rare and precious materials to the Mission Hall. I have recently gained new insights into the Jinghong Divine Sword Technique and would like to show them to you to see if I have chosen the right path."

He took out a yellow book from his storage bag, which contained his insights into the final nine swords of the Amazing Divine Sword Technique.

He had prepared this book long ago. He was afraid of provoking Yang Yuanzi before, but now that he heard about the tragedy of the Great Qi royal family, he felt that he had to take action, at least to win over Yang Yuanzi.

Yang Yuanzi frowned but did not reach out to take it.

Fang Wang continued, "Master, this unique skill was originally passed down to me by you. It is only right that I give back to you. I also want to contribute to the Third Lineage, rather than reaping the benefits without contributing anything."

Guang Qiuxian was right; his master was indeed stingy, or rather, Yang Yuanzi was too arrogant.

Yang Yuanzi hesitated for a long time, but finally accepted the yellow book given to her by Fang Wang.

"Recently, the Great Qi has been in turmoil, with invasions from other dynasties and sects from the outside, and the Golden Cloud Sect causing trouble from within. You should stay in the sect and cultivate diligently. Don't go out. As for whether you should contribute or not, don't feel too burdened. You have already secured the best results for the Third Branch in decades. The overall resources of the Third Branch have improved a lot, and all the disciples of the branch should be grateful to you," Yang Yuanzi said earnestly.

Fang Wang nodded and said, "Disciple will listen to Master. Disciple is preparing to go into seclusion to cultivate and strive to reach the ninth level of the Spirit Pill Realm as soon as possible, and then try to break through to the Profound Heart Realm."

Upon hearing this, Yang Yuanzi was deeply moved and said, "The Heavenly Origin Treasure Spirit is truly beyond imagination. You have only been a disciple for four years, yet you have already begun to aspire to the Profound Heart Realm. Once you truly break through to the Profound Heart Realm, I will appoint you as the eldest disciple of the third branch. If you wish to compete for the title of eldest disciple of the Taiyuan Sect in the future, I will also support you."

"Hmph, it's time for our third lineage to rise. Your talent surpasses Lu Yuanjun's, so you should compete for it!"

When Lu Yuanjun was mentioned, Yang Yuanzi's tone was full of sarcasm.

Fang Wang sighed inwardly, who would have thought that Yang Yuanzi, who had been so sarcastic and cynical towards Lu Yuanjun, would die for him?

He suddenly became very curious about the story of Yang Yuanzi, Guang Qiuxian, and Lu Yuanjun's mother, wondering if it was a tragic tale or a melodramatic plot.

The master and apprentice chatted for a long time before Fang Wang finally took his leave.

As he descended from the mountaintop, the disciples of the Third Branch he encountered along the way greeted him warmly. He was now extremely famous within the Taiyuan Sect, not only because of his achievements in the Nine Branches Battle, but also because Ye Xiang, Xu Lang, and Yan Feiyue often praised him in public. As a result, his reputation did not fade with time, but instead became even more deeply rooted in people's hearts.

After returning to his cave, Fang Wang sat down to meditate and practice his martial arts.

Little Purple was also cultivating. Fang Wang gave it a portion of the black dragon's flesh and blood treasure, which made it extremely excited.

According to Xiao Zi, the realms of demons can be divided into five levels from low to high: spirit demon, spirit demon, great demon, demon king, and great demon king, which correspond to the five realms of cultivating qi, shaping spirit, elixir, profound mind, and condensing spirit.

Currently, Xiao Zi has reached the peak of the Great Demon realm, thanks to the flesh and blood of that black dragon.

Now it wants to reach the level of Demon King.

Fang Wang was quite looking forward to the idea of ​​it becoming a demon king. There were no demon kings in Taiyuan Sect. Most of the demon pets were at the Spirit Demon Realm. Demon pets that reached the Great Demon level were all in the hands of elders and peak masters.

The cave was quiet, while outside, the sun and moon shone brightly.

Year after year has passed.

In the first year, the Fang family members all came to visit Fang Wang, but after learning that he had gone into seclusion, they stopped bothering him in the following years.

In the blink of an eye.

Six years have passed.

The higher the level of the Spirit Core Realm, the more difficult the cultivation becomes. Even with the Great Perfection of the Profound Yang Scripture, Fang Wang only reached the eighth level of the Spirit Core Realm.

As for Xiao Zi, it has successfully entered the realm of the Demon King, but it still cannot transform into human form, which is quite strange, and even it itself does not know the reason.

Fang Wang wasn't in a hurry. It was fine if he didn't transform. If he did, Zhou Xue would definitely tease him. It was good to keep him as a pet for now.

It was autumn, and the third vein was tinged with autumn colors, with fallen leaves fluttering in the air.

A figure landed in front of the mountain gate. It was Fang Hanyu. He was tall and straight. His long hair was tied up under his purple crown. His eyes were covered with a black cloth. Two strands of long hair fell down from the corners of his eyes. A breeze blew and the strands of hair fluttered, showing his dashing demeanor.

Fang Wang.

Fang Hanyu spoke up. Compared to six years ago, his temperament was even better, with a handsome and refined appearance, and an undeniable sharpness.

The mountain gate burst open, and Fang Hanyu stepped inside.

"Not bad, you've already reached the ninth level of the Spirit Shaping Realm?"

Xiao Zi teased, to which Fang Hanyu simply nodded slightly and walked straight to Fang Wang.

Fang Wang opened his eyes and looked him over.

Six years ago, Fang Hanyu was already at the third level of the Spirit Shaping Realm. In six years, he leaped to the ninth level of the Spirit Shaping Realm, which is quite fast. Although he cannot compare with Fang Wang, he can definitely be considered a first-class genius.

Sure enough, Fang Hanyu had already put on the robes of a personal disciple.

It must be said that the Heartless Evil Eye is indeed powerful. Qingchan Valley has been researching it for so many years without success, which shows how difficult it is to achieve the Heartless Evil Eye. If it weren't for Zhou Xue, a reborn person, Fang Hanyu would not have been able to obtain such a great opportunity.

"You've reached the ninth level of the Spirit Shaping Realm. You haven't disappointed me. With you here, I can cultivate with more peace of mind. Do you need me to give you some rare and precious materials to condense your spirit pills?" Fang Wang said with a satisfied smile.

Fang Hanyu sat at the table, shaking his head as he poured himself some tea, saying, "No need, Zhou Xue has already prepared it for me."

It's her again.

Fang Wang sighed inwardly. Damn it, reborn people are really different. Their cultivation keeps increasing, they can even be undercover agents, and they can help those around them collect rare and precious materials. He couldn't imagine how busy Zhou Xue's life must be.

"Zi Geng and the others have also made progress. Now, even the lowest-ranking one is an inner disciple. Our Fang family is quite well-known within the Taiyuan Sect, especially with you and Zhou Xue ahead of us. Even those ancient families can't compare," Fang Hanyu said with a soft laugh.

Fang Wang was also very happy to hear this. It would be wonderful if he could have his clansmen accompany him on the path of pursuing immortality.

Fang Hanyu then continued to recount the events that had occurred at Taiyuan Sect over the years.

The tragedy of the Great Qi royal family ended without a trace. Now the new prime minister has taken sole control of the court and exchanges letters with Zhao Zhen to discuss important matters of the country. As for Zhao Zhen, he has been cultivating in Taiyuan Sect. He has good talent and has proven himself in the sect. His natal spirit treasure is a mid-grade Xuan Yuan spirit treasure, which is worth the sect's great efforts to cultivate.

After talking about Zhao Zhen, Fang Hanyu brought up the cultivation world again.

"Over the years, the Golden Cloud Sect has been a powerful force. Its four guardian kings have attacked Green Cicada Valley and Yellow Prison Mountain one after another, causing heavy losses to the two major demonic sects. They have also declared that they will make the Golden Cloud Sect the only sect in the Great Qi."

"The four guardian kings are all great cultivators comparable to the vice sect leader. The strongest one even single-handedly stormed Huangyu Mountain, and no one could stop him."

When the Golden Cloud Sect was mentioned, Fang Hanyu showed a look of admiration.

Because the Golden Cloud Sect attacked a demonic sect, the disciples of the righteous Taiyuan Sect did not hate them. The cultivation world is a much larger martial arts world, and most cultivators still value their reputation. They were very curious about how far the Golden Cloud Sect could go.

Fang Wang knew that Zhou Xue had joined the Golden Cloud Sect, and he also had high expectations for the sect.

What sect could be worthy of Zhou Xue, who was reborn as a venerable immortal, joining?

"By the way, three years ago, Lu Yuanjun was attacked by the Demon Lord, the leader of the Golden Cloud Sect. It is said that he was seriously injured and is still recuperating in his cave. The sect leader was furious, and the peak master of one lineage even went down the mountain to investigate the Golden Cloud Sect." Fang Hanyu was not surprised when he mentioned this.

He sighed, "Lu Yuanjun is really unlucky. He runs into the Demon Lord even when he goes out to train. Fortunately, the Demon Lord doesn't want to kill him."

The four guardian kings of the Golden Cloud Sect are all so strong, so the Demon Lord's cultivation is naturally unfathomable. Therefore, although Lu Yuanjun was injured, most people felt that the Demon Lord deliberately showed mercy.

Fang Wang thought so too after hearing this. He even felt that Lu Yuanjun might have a powerful backer within the Golden Cloud Sect, otherwise why would Zhou Xue join the Golden Cloud Sect?

The two brothers chatted for a long time.

Before leaving, Fang Hanyu told Fang Wang that he would go down the mountain to earn sect contribution points after breaking through to the Spirit Core Realm. He did this for two reasons: first, sect contribution points could be exchanged for a large amount of cultivation resources, and he wanted to help the Fang family become a family of immortal cultivators; second, he was also very interested in the position of the second branch's eldest disciple.

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

Xiao Zi leaned closer and said, "Young Master, you were able to defeat a cultivator at the fifth level of the Profound Heart Realm six years ago. Sweeping through the Profound Heart Realm shouldn't be difficult for you now, right?"
