Chapter 457 74: Wuxiang Universe Wheel Pill (Part 2)

He sat cross-legged on the Jade Couch, took the corpse of the Celestial Refining Demon Monarch from his storage bag, and activated the Li Hen Demon Light to slowly refine it.

Within his Qi Sea, pure and vast Spiritual Qi surged from the Resentment Demon Bead, suffusing his entire being with a soothing comfort. A profound and boundless demonic aura radiated from him.

He took out the Wuxiang Universe Wheel Pill, swallowed it, and focused his mind to begin refining it.

Several days later, a profound aura suddenly manifested around him. Fang Cheng's eyes snapped open. He formed a hand seal, and a ball of golden light emerged from his body, transforming into a golden wheel behind him. A circle of golden ripples spread outward from it.

The golden ripples passed through all physical objects as if they were both real and illusory, spreading out for over a hundred feet before slowly coming to a stop.

Fang Cheng assessed his current state, discovering that within the range of these golden ripples, he could freely accelerate or slow the flow of time. The greater the change, the more rapidly his Magical Power was consumed, and vice versa.

He flicked his finger, sending out a beam of sword-light. Then, he channeled his Magical Power, and an incredible sight unfolded.

The beam of sword-light, which should have been faster than lightning, crawled through the air as slowly as a snail, as if the void itself had frozen solid.

Fang Cheng changed his hand seal, and the sword-light suddenly flashed. It began to fly and spin around the Quiet Chamber at an incredible speed, leaving so many afterimages it looked as if countless beams were dancing in the air, yet it all happened in complete silence.

This was the effect of accelerating the flow of time.

A moment later, Fang Cheng dispelled the sword-light and the Light Yin Divine Techniques, his expression serene.

He tried to analyze this Divine Technique with the Creation Golden Talisman, but to his frustration, he gained nothing at all!

'This Light Yin Divine Technique feels more like one of the Demon Race's innate bloodline abilities—a Talent Divine Technique one is born with, knowing *how* it works but not *why*.'

'The Wuxiang Universe Wheel Pill was simply a catalyst that allowed this Divine Technique to merge with my body, becoming an instinct as natural as breathing.'

'Its miraculous nature is truly awe-inspiring.'

'I'll just have to slowly gain insight into it as I use the Divine Technique over time and try to decipher its secrets then.'

Fang Cheng felt unburdened and quickly put the matter aside, turning his thoughts to the World Heaven Dao Mark left by Qinghao Wanderer.

The Outer Void was vast and boundless, filled with countless Celestial Demons and various natural hazards, such as void turbulence, Returning Ruins Vortexes, and winds of deathly stillness.

Although a Tribulation Realm Great Power had the ability to traverse the Outer Void, discovering a World Heaven in the vast emptiness was largely a matter of luck.

Most Tribulation Realm Cultivators relied on the stellar routes marked by the Dao Marks of their predecessors to explore the outer domains.

According to Qinghao Wanderer's records, this World Heaven was of immense value and was rich in various Refining Treasure Materials, such as Profound Iron Immortal Gold.

'If I want to refine Tier Five Feather Divine Soldiers in the future, a trip there is unavoidable.'

'One of the core materials for Tier Five Feather Divine Soldiers is the Demon Suppression Stele from the Xuanyu Realm. This stele was refined by a Tribulation Realm ancestor from the Mo Luo Realm using the remains of a powerful Tier Five Celestial Demon.'

'After studying the refinement method for the Feather Divine Soldiers, I know that natural treasures of equivalent power can be used to substitute for the Demon Suppression Stele.'

'Miaoxiang Tower has been searching for such precious materials within the East Cyan Domain in recent years. That's one route.'

'The other route leads to that World Heaven.'

'However, that World Heaven is far from peaceful and is rife with danger. Even a Dharma Master would risk perishing there, so I must prepare thoroughly.'

'Furthermore, my top priority is to continue raising my Cultivation, then refine the White Tiger Divine Pill to prepare for my breakthrough to the Dharma Realm!'

That was why he had told Jingyuan this matter would have to wait until after he had advanced to the Dharma Realm.

However, proper preparation never hurts. He took out the Ten Thousand Worlds Compass and placed it within the Jade Tower, allowing it to slowly "charge" by absorbing Spiritual Qi...

「Half a year later.」

After rebuilding his foundation and stabilizing his Magical Power, Jingyuan bid farewell to Fang Cheng. He casually departed with the two women from the Spirit Moon Sect to continue his travels through the Jin Country.

Fang Cheng, meanwhile, calmly watched the clouds drift by and continued to "pop pills" to cultivate.

With the support of numerous Tier Four Elixirs, his Cultivation and Magical Power grew daily. His progress was so rapid that Elder Yingya, who had come to congratulate him, couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

Elder Yingya had finally succeeded in repairing the Dragon Head Feather Divine Soldiers. He himself had gained much in the process, so in addition to offering congratulations, his gaunt face was beaming. He couldn't resist chatting with Fang Cheng a bit about the refinement method for the Profound Celestial Divine Puppet.

Fang Cheng accepted the Dragon Head Feather Divine Soldiers. After a quick calculation on his fingers, he realized the Void Ghost Marketplace would soon be opening. He decided to leave Jin Country and return to the Abyssal Marsh to enter the Ghost Market from his family's territory.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Elder Yingya remembered something he had forgotten to mention. "Fellow Daoist Fang," he said hurriedly, "the Lord of the Nine Truths Tower has arrived and is waiting to meet you. This matter is of great importance. Why not delay your return to Yun Country for a few months?"

Fang Cheng was taken aback to hear this. "What could it be," he asked, "that you speak of it with such gravity?"

Elder Yingya sighed. "It would be better to let the Lord of the Nine Truths Tower tell you in person."

The Nine Truths Tower was one of the eight great powers in the Jin Country, known collectively as the Five Sects, Two Towers, and One Hall. It wasn't a sect, but a mysterious organization passed down from ancient times. Its members were spread throughout the major sects and aristocratic families, and with the exception of a few high-ranking leaders, they were all unaware of each other's true identities and backgrounds.

The tower was originally founded by a few Cultivators who came together to comprehend an ancient legacy.

This original purpose was carried on through the generations. As the Nine Truths Tower continued to absorb talented individuals from various major powers, it gradually grew into a mysterious and formidable force that could not be ignored.

「A moment later.」

A man and a woman with a remarkable bearing walked into the Jade Tower. Fang Cheng rose to greet them, and after exchanging a few pleasantries, they took their seats as host and guests.
