Star Sky Professional

Spirit Treasure Palace.

Sky-reaching Platform.

This place has become a regular challenge ground for disciples, where all disciples of the Spirit Treasure Palace can come to ascend the Heavenly Ladder.

The higher you climb the steps, the more benefits you receive.

Especially during the annual year-end statistical rewards, quite a few soaring geniuses emerge.

Among them, many are rumored to even receive an audience with the Black Emperor and gain numerous benefits.

"Dongshan Ao indeed held back. He has already reached the six thousandth step of the Sky-reaching Platform... isn't this saying he has a battle power of the sixth level of the Primordial Spirit?"

"Not only that, he has climbed to the six thousand nine hundredth step, not far from breaking through to the seventh level of the Primordial Spirit Realm..."

"And the demon fox Bai Qian, who also reached the six thousandth step... The garrison of the Sky-reaching Platform has a high resistance to Illusion Techniques, making cultivation of such techniques very disadvantageous. In the outside world, an average cultivator of the seventh level of the Primordial Spirit Realm might not be her match..."

...

Under the massive Ranking List, many disciples gathered, looking at those remarkable individuals with faces full of envy:

"The rules of our palace are strict, both the Mortal Realm and Primordial Spirit Realm are disciples; only by fully comprehending a Law and breaking through to the Heavenly Immortal or Heavenly Demon is one considered graduated..."

"This means that even Senior Brother Yiling is a disciple, but he has passed the ten thousandth step of the Sky-reaching Platform, his status is comparable to an elder after graduation, and it is said he was even granted an Emperor Weapon!"

"If I had known the reward for passing the Sky-reaching Platform was an Emperor Weapon... I-I would..."

"Alas, when can we be like Senior Brother Yiling, venturing into many Secret Realms, making our name known in the Qing Yuan Great Realm?"

...

Among the many disciples, Han Lin silently watched the Ranking List, eventually turning away and leaving.

"Old Han, have you made a charge?"

Beside him, a disciple in a yellow robe greeted with a smile.

"I am merely a Medicine Garden disciple, currently only at the ninth level of the Mortal Realm, not even a Primordial Spirit, how could I contend with the senior brothers and sisters?"

Han Lin smiled and shook his head.

"This person... do you know Senior Brother Zhang?"

Beside him, a disciple asked curiously.

"Hmm, this person is named Han Lin, has quite impressive Plant-type Spells..."

Senior Brother Zhang chuckled: "We are all brothers of the same cohort and should take care of each other..."

"Of course, but since Junior Brother Han Lin has not yet broken through to the Primordial Spirit, how can he be compared to Senior Brother Zhang?"

A disciple's eyes brightened, flattering him.

Listening to the laughter behind, Han Lin's heart was tranquil, without joy or sorrow.

He cultivated the 'Longevity Technique'!

It was the cultivation method recommended by the Guardian when he first entered the Scripture Collection Pavilion of the Spirit Treasure Palace.

The essence of this technique is to learn from plants, reduce one's desires, to achieve the effect of nurturing life and extending years.

Due to his highly compatible constitution, Han Lin's progress was decent, and now he has a seventy percent chance of breaking through to the Primordial Spirit.

"But how can seventy percent be enough? At least it should be ninety percent..."

"Only then can I ensure a smooth breakthrough to the Primordial Spirit Realm, then exchange for the subsequent cultivation technique in the Scripture Collection Pavilion — 'Green Emperor Longevity Technique,' which is said to have heaven-defying effects, allowing a Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator to break through the ten-thousand-year lifespan limit. Once cultivated successfully, I can ignore the external disturbances and rely on planting Spiritual Medicine to slowly achieve the endless lifespan of a Heavenly Immortal!"

Han Lin had long made plans in his heart, and his expression gradually disappeared, turning into a wooden face.

The Longevity Technique is good in every way, but after deep cultivation, one tends to transform towards plants.

First, all desires decrease, then all emotions become bland.

In the later stages, they might not want to speak, eat, or have any romantic interests, turning into a wooden figure.

In the end, falling into a complete state of 'Dao Transformation,' possibly becoming a Tree-man.

However, in this 'Tree-man state,' it greatly aids in the breakthrough to the Primordial Spirit Realm, at least increasing the probability by fifty percent!

However, if the breakthrough fails, it truly turns into an ancient tree.

...

"Did the disciple with the Plant Spirit Body indeed choose the Longevity Technique?"

"After all, this cultivation method is my new creation... There is a life-and-death tribulation during the breakthrough to Primordial Spirit."

"Even if smoothly breaking through the Primordial Spirit, there is a Dao Transformation tribulation in the future; the longer one lives, the more terrifying it becomes... even breaking through the ten-thousand-year lifespan limit of a Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator actually comes at the cost of other aspects."

Fang Xing merely glanced over and collected vast amounts of data, perfecting his 'Green Emperor Longevity Technique.'

And in his hand, there was a jet-black Stone Lizard exuding a terrifying might.

"My Black Dragon form is not the strongest state... Only by descending in my true form is the strongest!"

"In such a state, only then can I engage in transactions with other great forces..."

Fang Xing contemplated, realizing that in the Pangu Secret Realm, he still had considerable resources.

There are too many Emperor Weapons, perhaps they can be traded for some materials to make a faster breakthrough?

"And Yiling, that kid should still be in the 'Deer Forest Secret Realm,' right?"

"Hope this time he can gain something."

Deer Forest Secret Realm is a special Secret Realm in the Qing Yuan Great Realm, opened every ten thousand years. The 'Deer Call Fruit' produced is much better than Chaos Crystals, and each time it opens, many disciples from major forces enter it for training, competing for the Deer Call Fruit.

Even Primordial Spirit Dominators are quite common!

Fang Xing thought for a moment, then with a flick of his hand, opened the Gate of All Heavens, preparing to return to the Da Xia Universe.

No choice but to return!

It's wartime now, and if he doesn't personally oversee the Ophiuchus Wormhole, it's likely his subordinates will scatter.

Don't underestimate the petty thoughts of the people below; this is Fang Xing's experience over many years.

If he doesn't show up for an extended period, many will suspect he's run away, leaving others to face the consequences.

'Fortunately... my record in the Star Sky Civilization still stands as a Dharma Master of the Thirteen Realms who has comprehended the Laws. Even if it's the Fourth Rank, it's not much of a concern.'

'The incoming enemy is surely also a Dharma Master...'

...

Lulin Secret Realm.

The land is vast and desolate, with greenery everywhere.

In the ancient jungles, there are many Demon Beasts of the Primordial Spirit Realm, breeding and hunting each other...

Suddenly!

The continental plate roared and moved.

An indescribably enormous beast's head emerged.

The beast's head appeared in the shape of a deer's head, and the sprawling primeval jungle, even the continental plate, were mere spots on its back.

Power far beyond the Primordial Spirit Realm surged out.

"Such a vile creature!"

A stream of light flew over, revealing the form of Yiling Hermit.

Having refined the heart of the tree, he had already extended his lifespan by thousands of years, feeling immense gratitude towards his teacher's kindness.

'The Deer Call Fruit in this Lulin Secret Realm is beneficial even for a Demon Emperor of the Chaos Realm, so every time it matures, masters of the Primordial Spirit Dominator level come to compete for it...'

Yiling Hermit's eyes were deep, gazing at the gigantic deer body: "The Deer Call Fruit comes from the 'Heavenly Primordial Deer,' and such a Heavenly Primordial Deer not only has an enormous physique but can even physically withstand a Demon Emperor."

"But I am a Primordial Spirit Dominator, not inferior to an average Demon Emperor. This Heavenly Primordial Deer is equivalent in power to the Fourth Level Heavenly Demon and can be fought!"

In his hand, a peculiar Qing Hua long sword appeared.

A sword strike sent out waves of blue petals, enveloping the Heavenly Primordial Deer like an illusionary formation.

This ancient sword was indeed an Emperor Weapon!

Whoosh!

Yiling Hermit quickly rushed onto the Heavenly Primordial Deer's back, soon turning into a stream of light and escaping, his face showing a trace of joy, clearly having gained something significant.

Whoosh whoosh!

At that moment, shadows of spears appeared, like snakes hidden in the dark, launching a lightning-fast attack.

Crack!

At the tip of the spear, a pitch-black lightning flashed, seemingly containing the creation and destruction of a world, striking heavily at Yiling Hermit's waist.

Clang!

A black armor suddenly appeared on Yiling Hermit, its deep color and ancient patterns carrying an indescribable aura, weakening the power of the spear by 99.99%.

The remaining ripples were clearly no threat to a Primordial Spirit Dominator.

"Hmm? Three-leaf Sect's 'Leaf Emperor Daoist'?"

Yiling Hermit's face showed a trace of anger: "Dare to ambush me? Are you not afraid of Spirit Treasure Palace questioning Three-leaf Sect?"

"Hehe, you're joking. The Demon Emperor is far above, how could they care about our minor Primordial Spirit dispute? Would they drop their dignity?"

A flash of yellow light, and a yellow-robed Daoist appeared, his gaze fell on Yiling Hermit's armor, his face slowly becoming solemn: "In the Secret Realm, life and death are borne by oneself, using one's means is early agreed upon by all parties... But your Spirit Treasure Palace is somewhat breaking the rules by not only granting you an Emperor Weapon but also giving you an Emperor Weapon armor?"

In his mind, he was already cursing the Spirit Treasure Palace's shamelessness.

This is an Emperor Weapon!

Even a major force like Three-leaf Sect has only a few, and once taken out, even a Nine-Tier Heavenly Immortal or Heavenly Demon would be envious.

But this Yiling Hermit, merely a Primordial Spirit Dominator, has two!

"Haha, my Spirit Treasure Palace is an eternal legacy with plenty of Emperor Weapons, isn't it only right?"

Yiling Hermit laughed heartily.

Other powers, at most, have Chaos Realm Demon Emperors, naturally finding it difficult to bring out many Emperor Weapons.

But Fang Xing has the Pangu Secret Realm and took over dozens of Emperor Weapons, naturally having extras to bestow.

Moreover, his current main task is to rapidly increase Da Xia Universe's own strength, logically valuing those who can go to the Primordial Spirit Secret Realm to gather talents.

This Emperor Weapon armor was granted by Fang Xing.

Furthermore, the Leaf Emperor Daoist did not know that Yiling Hermit's Emperor Weapons were not two, but three!

Inside the armor, primarily for physical defense, there was also an Emperor Weapon specialized for soul defense!

With this setup, even the peak of Heavenly Demons would struggle against Yiling Hermit.

If other Demon Emperors of Chaos Realm knew, they would surely laugh at Fang Xing's blatant display.

At their level, with infinite life and boundless Divine Skills, what they compare is a bit of pride and dignity, right?

But for Fang Xing, dignity? Worth a few cents per pound?

He's already so broke now that he's preparing to sell a few Emperor Weapons to accelerate Chaos Realm cultivation.

If he can't quickly advance to Three Steps Dao Lord, when the insect army presses in, he might really have no choice but to leave.
