Several days later, the power within Fang Han's Golden Core reached its peak.
"Golden Core transformation, fusion of Buddha and Devil, Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes, Tathagata Saint Devil, condensing the Heavenly Dao Incarnation, the time is now!"
The Golden Core above his head shattered with a rumble, transforming into endless golden light. Amidst it, a Thousand-Handed, Thousand-Eyed Demon-Subduing Incarnation slowly rose, treading the void as Buddhist and demonic sounds filled the air.
Fang Han successfully broke through to the ninth realm of Divine Ability, the Heavenly Dao Incarnation Realm.
His dantian shattered, and the incarnation emerged from within. The moment it formed, billions of devils wailed, and thousands of Arhats chanted. Hell and Heaven coexisted. Extreme compassion and extreme cruelty were both vividly displayed.
"Heavenly Dao Incarnation Peak Realm!" a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
His accumulation was too profound. Devouring the origin Qi of an ancient giant and cultivating nearly a hundred divine abilities allowed him to directly reach the peak upon breakthrough. He was just a step away from the tenth level, the Heaven-Defying Realm.
"Now, my power can completely suppress the undying giants of the Myriad Beast Realm," his heart stirred. Next, he would complete the Great Origin Art and then seek the Human Emperor Brush.
His body moved, and he burst out from underground. It was already night, and the myriad stars emitted brilliant light.
"Hahaha, Fang Han, your current strength can already rival an ancient giant. Go find Yan Shui Yi and dual cultivate with her. Let her Water God Qi nourish your Black Emperor Water Emperor Qi!" Yan's voice resounded in his ears.
"Yan Shui Yi, I was just about to look for her. She has the complete Great Origin Art. I must obtain it. Otherwise, if this divine ability is incomplete, it will become an obstacle for me to enter the Longevity Secret Realm," he immediately responded.
"Go to the Six Dao Alliance and have them lure her out. With your current strength, you can completely subdue her directly," Yan cackled.
Fang Han was speechless. "What exactly did you learn on Earth recently?"
…
He used the Reincarnation Transfiguration Art to transform into Xiao Yan's appearance and arrived at the Six Dao Alliance, a trade guild. He came to inquire about Yan Shui Yi.
He disguised himself as a wealthy second-generation heir who had long admired her and spent a huge price to obtain an opportunity to meet her.
A few days later, he arrived in the Void Realm Garden through a space-time gate. This place belonged to the Six Dao Alliance's "private club," with beautiful scenery and abundant spiritual Qi.
"To open a small world within a spatial storm, the person behind the Six Dao Alliance is probably no less powerful than your Immortal Master, Feng Bai Yu," Yan's voice of astonishment resounded.
As Fang Han was contemplating, he suddenly felt an incredibly dense water Qi. A white-clothed young woman walked in and locked onto him. It was Yan Shui Yi.
Previously, she had conspired with Fan Qing Ying to kill him, but was almost counter-killed herself.
"Long time no see, Yan Shui Yi. I wonder how much your cultivation has increased?" After seeing her, Fang Han maintained Xiao Yan's appearance, but his voice returned to his own.
"Fang Han, it's you?" she recognized him immediately, speaking through gritted teeth.
He didn't play games. "I came to find you not to fight, but to make a deal."
She laughed. "A deal? Are you trying to get me to plead with the Immortal Master to cancel your Heavenly Dao wanted order? You must be in a sorry state, being hunted by many ancient giants."
"Heavenly Dao wanted order? Why cancel it? I wish more would come. An ancient giant is an excellent cultivation material. If a few more come, it won't be a problem for me to break through to the Longevity Secret Realm," he scoffed.
"Are you boasting?" she looked at him, her tone disdainful. "I admit your combat power is extraordinary, but how can the gap between you and an ancient giant be so easily bridged?"
"Heh heh," he laughed heartily. "Back when I was in the Golden Core Realm, I could make you and Fan Qing Ying, who were at the Heaven-Defying level, flee. What is my cultivation now?"
He no longer concealed his aura, instantly displaying his Heavenly Dao Incarnation Peak cultivation. A stream of green Qi rushed out, condensing into the Heavenly Dao Incarnation of Daoist Mu.
"You must have heard of Daoist Mu, right? The wanted order is merely an opportunity for me to kill people and seize their wealth."
"You, you, you, Daoist Mu…" Yan Shui Yi was almost speechless. "An ancient giant-level expert actually lost to you? What about Daoist Long?"
"He exhausted half of his essence blood and barely escaped. At that time, I was still undergoing the Wind-Fire Tribulation. Now, my cultivation has advanced another level. If I encounter him again, I can subdue him in an instant." He was demonstrating his strength for the upcoming transaction.
"Your cultivation is advancing by leaps and bounds. I'm afraid even if I enter the Longevity Secret Realm, I won't be your match," her expression was a bit unsightly.
"I'm not here to deal with you, but to cooperate. As the reincarnation of the Water God's primordial spirit, how can you do without the Oblivion Water? I'll give it to you, and you give me the Great Origin Art."
"You actually know about the Great Origin Art?" she said, guessing his situation. "You've also cultivated it, haven't you? Without the complete technique, it's difficult to achieve the Longevity Secret Realm, which is why you came to me."
She thought for a moment, then nodded. "Alright, I'll exchange with you." Having obtained the Oblivion Water, she could soon break through to the Longevity Secret Realm. She had no reason to refuse.
"Good, straightforward. Here's the Oblivion Water." He waved his hand, and it flew to her.
Her brow moved, and a profound thought was transmitted. It was the complete cultivation technique of the Great Origin Art. He pondered it carefully; there were no issues.
He still sat there and began to cultivate. The complete technique could cultivate nine Seas of Consciousness. He had only cultivated five. Endless Power of Will was injected into him. In his Eight Buddhist Pagoda, millions of heavenly devils prayed day and night, providing more than enough.
Crack, crack.
In just a few breaths, the remaining Seas of Consciousness were all opened. His Thousand-Handed, Thousand-Eyed Heavenly Dao Incarnation sat guarding within the nine of them.
"Nine Great Seas of Consciousness, opening Heaven and Earth, nine into one, Dao Cultivation Perfection!" A smile appeared on his lips. His strength had risen another step.
Yan Shui Yi watched, not making a move. "I didn't expect you to open them so quickly," she said in surprise.
"What, are you envious?" he asked with a faint smile. "You can also become strong quickly. You are the reincarnation of the Water God, and I possess the Black Emperor Water Emperor Protective Aura. When we dual cultivate, the benefits are endless. Why don't you abandon your marriage with Hua Tian Du and just follow me?"
His attitude towards emotions was not conflicted. She was his woman in the original plot, so she should be now. He couldn't sit back and let others cuckold him, even if she was currently Hua Tian Du's fiancée.
"Hmph," she locked onto him with an inexplicable gaze. "You want to use me to ruin Hua Tian Du's heart demon? You and he have a ten-year agreement. It's unfair for you to use me."
He shook his head. "The Great Dao of Cultivation, besides myself, there is nothing else. If he can be affected by a heart demon because of you, then he is not worthy to be my opponent. You'd be better off with me. If we dual cultivate, I can help you break through to the Longevity Secret Realm."
His words were spoken with righteousness. If only he hadn't been wearing Xiao Yan's face, it might have been more sincere.
Uncharacteristically, she did not refute. From the moment she met him, she felt streams of water Qi emanating from his body that fused with her own. This was a dangerous signal. The queen among water Qi and the king of water. When they combine, the benefits would be endless. Just standing together, she felt her origin Qi condense. If they were to touch… a direct breakthrough might not be a problem.
This was very tempting.
He then spoke again. "I'll make another deal with you. I have a way to help you cultivate half an undying body. You help me deal with the forces behind Fan Qing Ying and obtain something."
"The forces behind Fan Qing Ying?" she was stunned. "You can really help me cultivate half an undying body?"
"That's natural. With half an undying body, and then we dual cultivate, directly becoming an undying realm expert will not be a dream," he said decisively.
"Hmph! If you can truly help me, then I can cooperate with you first. But you definitely can't use your original identity. What is your current identity?" she snorted.
"Xiao Yan."
