Life Spring!

When Fang Qing fished up a Clear Sun Pill, he knew that advancing to the Life Spring Realm was already a certainty.

Cultivating from the Bitter Sea Realm to the Life Spring Realm essentially meant that, after sensing the Wheel of Life, one had to continuously open up the Bitter Sea and carve a path leading to the Wheel of Life in order to awaken the potential of life.

To accomplish this, one had to absorb vast amounts of the essence of heaven and earth, transforming external energy into one's own vital essence.

Treasures like Hundred Herb Liquid could greatly accelerate this process.

The Clear Sun Pill Fang Qing had just fished up could accelerate it even further.

This pill had been refined from three hundred and twenty-five spiritual herbs of heaven and earth and took a full year to make. Just hearing that, its medicinal efficacy already sounded far superior to Hundred Herb Liquid.

Fang Qing did not hesitate for long and immediately began refining the pill.

The moment the pill entered his stomach, terrifying vital essence burst forth from it and surged madly toward Fang Qing's Limbs and Bones. Its fearsome medicinal power nearly tore him apart.

Fang Qing hurriedly circulated the Mysterious Methods of the Dao Scripture, frantically absorbing and refining the medicinal power. Countless streams of medicine transformed into his own vital essence and slammed fiercely toward the depths beneath the Bitter Sea.

This was a great charge, like an army of thousands upon thousands charging together against an enemy force.

More accurately, though, it was like an army of thousands upon thousands clearing a passage connecting the inside and outside.

As countless streams of vital essence crashed downward according to Fang Qing's will, a path truly opened!

At the very center of Fang Qing's Bitter Sea, a spring eye appeared. It connected to the Wheel of Life, and a Divine Spring gushed forth, mingling with Fang Qing's countless streams of vital essence and winding into brilliant clouds of colorful mist.

In an instant, Fang Qing felt an unprecedented sense of comfort. Countless currents of life essence surged upward, washing over every part of his body.

At that moment, Fang Qing's flesh was flawless and free of impurities. His entire body shone like crystal, glimmering with faint radiance, like the most perfect work of art.

His whole body was undergoing a complete transformation.

Powerful strength flooded into his heart, far surpassing the increases he had gained from his previous cultivation.

The essence from the Wheel of Life joined with the essence surging down from the Bitter Sea, becoming the force behind Fang Qing's rapid rise in strength.

With a thought from Fang Qing, streams of Divine Light rushed out from his body, carrying him upward.

Fang Qing flew!

He had truly flown.

Though Fang Qing was still cultivating, his body rose from the ground under the Divine Light's support.

Three zhang, five zhang, ten zhang!

Fang Qing rose a full ten zhang above the ground!

He sat in the air as a gentle breeze stirred his sleeves.

Looking down at that moment, Fang Qing saw that the Thatched Cottage that had once seemed so ordinary was now much smaller in his eyes. Even the rocks and mountains had shrunk.

His vision stretched far and wide. Looking into the distance, reaching the skies through his own strength and gazing down upon the world he had once lived in gave him an unprecedented feeling, one filled with awe.

The vast earth and magnificent mountains and rivers lay beneath him, filling his heart with delight.

All things between heaven and earth, every blade of grass and every tree, entered his sight, and an unconquerable ambition rose within him.

"This is the beauty of cultivation."

Sitting in the air, Fang Qing split his attention between two tasks. He continued refining the Clear Sun Pill's vital essence while also looking at the world below.

He could feel his strength rising rapidly. His physical body was transforming, while his Divine Marks and Divine Light were undergoing enormous changes as well. If he encountered a Bitter Sea Realm cultivator now, he would utterly crush them.

A difference of one realm meant absolute suppression in power. With a mere wave of his hand, he could reduce the other party to ashes.

Sitting in the air, Fang Qing let the Divine Light wrap around him as he flew freely. At times, he soared hundreds of zhang into the air; at others, he plunged like a comet crashing into the earth, streaking across heaven and earth.

Only after an hour did he finally calm down. He descended from the sky and stopped one zhang above the ground, shifting from his seated cultivation posture to a standing one.

He stood quietly in the air, his powerful and sharp aura completely restrained. In its place was a peaceful, tranquil bearing.

Within his body, the Divine Spring continued to gush, divine power flowed without end, and his life force flourished.

"Damn, damn! Brother Fang can already fly! Has he reached the second realm, the Life Spring Realm? That cultivation speed is just way too fast!"

The commotion here had long since alerted the other two who lived with him. Pang Bo looked at Fang Qing, who was already flying, his face full of envy.

Flying!

It was every man's dream!

Who had not dreamed of flying in their youth? Whether it was flying on a sword or some other kind of flight, it was all unbelievably cool!

People had even dreamed of flying in their sleep, earning the envy of countless passersby.

But Fang Qing was flying now, while Pang Bo himself was just a passerby who could only stand to the side and type 666.

"He's flying. Brother Fang's cultivation speed really is incredible!"

Ye Fan also looked at Fang Qing in the sky. Over the past few days, he had learned much common knowledge about cultivation, so he naturally knew that cultivators could only fly after advancing to the Life Spring Realm. Bitter Sea Realm cultivators could not fly.

He had yet to sense his own Wheel of Life and had not even entered the Bitter Sea Realm, while Brother Fang was already a Life Spring Realm cultivator!

It was truly enviable.

"Comparisons really make people furious. I've still been working hard these days to open up the little field in my stomach, while Brother Fang has already dug out a Divine Spring. Too fast, it's just too fast."

Pang Bo was still utterly stunned.

"What happened?"

Elder Wu Qingfeng flew over from afar, his gaze immediately landing on Fang Qing. Seeing Fang Qing standing quietly in the air, a gratified smile instantly appeared on his face.

"Good, good! Our Lingxu Grotto-Heaven has truly produced an outstanding seedling. Fang Qing, you've already reached the Life Spring Realm. Your cultivation speed is much faster than mine, even faster than the Supreme Sect Master's!"

Wu Qingfeng's face was filled with joy. He looked Fang Qing over from head to toe, both excited and delighted, seeming to have become twenty years younger.

"Greetings, Elder. This disciple has indeed reached the Life Spring Realm."

Fang Qing also smiled faintly.

Advancing to the Life Spring Realm was indeed something worth celebrating.

"Fang Qing, come. Let us report this to the Supreme Sect Master. He will certainly reward you well."

The more Wu Qingfeng looked at Fang Qing, the more satisfied he became. After thinking for a moment, he prepared to take Fang Qing to see the sect master.

"You've only just advanced to the Life Spring Realm. Fly slowly."

He gave Fang Qing another reminder.

"Yes, Elder."

Fang Qing nodded. Streams of Divine Light surged from his body and formed an Auspicious Cloud beneath him, carrying him forward.

Fang Qing flew very steadily.

"What an outstanding seedling."

Elder Wu Qingfeng praised him as he and Fang Qing headed into the distance.
