Return

A charred, human-shaped figure lay on the platform. If not for the rise and fall of his chest, one would truly believe this was a dead man.

Enduring the pain wracking his body, Fang Xuan grabbed the Nine Dragons Stone placed beside him. A mysterious energy flowed from it into his body, rapidly repairing his injuries.

Crack, crack, crack...

The charred skin peeled off, revealing new flesh. His skin appeared smooth and soft, like the finest silk, but if one were to touch it, they would find this soft skin was as hard as steel, perhaps impenetrable even by a knife or axe.

Half an hour later, a completely naked Fang Xuan stood up. His skin was as white as snow, enough to make even women envious.

Touching his bald head, Fang Xuan felt a wave of speechlessness.

"Looks like I'll have to wear a hat for a while."

He turned his head to look at the abyss. In the churning magma, he could vaguely see the figure of the Fire Phoenix. Although his Black Ice Sword was a treasure sword that could cut through iron like mud, it probably wouldn't last long in the magma.

"What a pity. The blood of this firebird beast is a great tonic. If I could consume it all, my cultivation would surely advance greatly. However, the Tenth Level of Body Refinement is still just a mortal body; the magma is not my domain.

Forget it, the harvest is already enough. It's time to go back."

Fang Xuan had gained immensely in this world. His cultivation had advanced three levels. When he entered, he was only in the Suppleness Realm, but now he had successively passed through Divine Strength and Breath Control to reach the current Internal Fortification Realm.

Furthermore, he had killed the clone Ren Qianxing, greatly increasing his foundation.

This foundation included not only muscles, bones, and aptitude, but also wisdom and comprehension, laying a solid foundation for future cultivation.

There was also the Nine Dragons Stone. This item was a rare treasure for healing. The mysterious energy contained within it could repair injuries, allowing for rapid recovery from any injury that wasn't fatal in the future.

As for other martial arts manuals, weapons, and the like, there was no need to care about them. It was just a small martial arts world; how could its treasures compare to the magical artifacts of the Eternal Life world? Only strength and realm were fundamental.

The Mystic Divine Realm was what he sought.

With a thought, Fang Xuan's figure disappeared.

About half an hour later, Jian Xiong led his men back into the depths of Dragon Locking Mountain. Looking at the destruction caused by the previous fight, there was no sign of Fang Xuan.

Jian Xiong frowned slightly and said, "Could this person have been swallowed by the Fire Phoenix? If so, he deserves it."

Dragon Abyss Province, Fang Family.

A ray of light suddenly appeared from the void, followed by a naked Fang Xuan materializing in his room.

Everything around him remained unchanged, still a familiar scene. But Fang Xuan sensed his own condition; he was already a being at the Seventh Level of Body Refinement, the Internal Fortification Realm.

There was no one in the entire Fang Family who could cultivate to the Internal Fortification Realm at his age. Even his eldest sister, Fang Qingxue, was only in the Inner Breath Realm.

However, there was still one thing to consider: how to reveal his sudden increase in strength?

Even if a hundred years passed in the small world, it would only be a moment in the Eternal Life world. One second he was in the Suppleness Realm, the next he had directly entered the Internal Fortification Realm. Anyone would feel that something was very strange.

Even if a person was a genius, they couldn't be a genius to this extent.

"This is my biggest secret, and it's also my Golden Finger that allows me to become an immortal and live forever. I must never let a second person know."

After thinking for a moment, he took out a set of clothes from the wardrobe and put them on. He also specifically prepared a hat to wear on his head, then walked directly towards his mother Zhao Xuemei's room.

"Mother, your son is going to Black Forest to hone his martial arts. I might stay outside for a few more days," Fang Xuan said.

Zhao Xuemei looked at Fang Xuan, who was suddenly wearing a hat, and felt that something was wrong, but for a moment she couldn't figure out what. Thinking of the dangers of Black Forest, she said worriedly, "Going to Black Forest again? Can't you hone your martial arts in the manor?"

Fang Xuan smiled and said, "Mother, you don't know. The speed of cultivation in seclusion at home will actually be slower. Practicing behind closed doors is not advisable. Moreover, your son has already cultivated to the Suppleness Realm. Now, what I should be worried about are the wild beasts in Black Forest."

"How many days will you be gone?"

"Three or four days at the shortest, half a month at the longest."

"That long?" Zhao Xuemei said with dissatisfaction.

"Hehe, your son is going to earn an Imperial Mandate for Mother, so of course I have to work harder," Fang Xuan said flatteringly.

After a series of explanations, Fang Xuan finally appeased Zhao Xuemei's heart, and then he left the Fang Manor directly.

"I remember now, where did Xuan'er's eyebrows go?" Zhao Xuemei said belatedly.

To the north of Dragon Abyss Province is a wide river, and further north of the river is Black Forest. It is densely covered with trees and home to many wild beasts, including tigers and bears. Even some experienced hunters dare not venture deep into it. However, some martial artists often enter it to hone their martial arts, and the Fang Family disciples are no exception. Moreover, every spring and autumn, Fang Zetao also organizes hunting activities, partly for entertainment and partly to test the younger generation of the Fang Family.

After entering Black Forest, Fang Xuan quickly ran deep into the jungle, stopping only when he reached a waterfall.

"This is the place. I'll stay here for ten days to half a month, and when I go back, I'll say I accidentally swallowed a rare heavenly treasure. That way, I can cover up the matter of my greatly increased cultivation," Fang Xuan muttered, looking at the pool formed by the impact of the waterfall.

He entered the jungle, caught a rabbit, and returned. After eating his fill, he began practicing the Pine Crane Longevity Fist in the open space.

The Tenth Level of Body Refinement has currently reached the seventh level, the Internal Fortification Realm. After that are the Divine Courage, Spirit Connection, and finally the Divine Transformation realms.

These three realms are different from the previous stages of cultivating the physical body; they begin to develop the brain and cultivate spiritual power.

The "Courage" in Divine Courage, the "Spirit" in Spirit Connection, and the "Transformation" in Divine Transformation are all things that can only be understood intuitively, not explained in words.

Only by developing spiritual power can one finally stimulate life potential with abundant physical body blood energy and enter the realm of divine abilities.

Crane Claw Imprints Sand.

White Crane Spreads Wings.

White Crane in the Clouds.

Immortal Crane Shakes Feathers.

Snake Crane Conflict

Combining movement and stillness, reality and illusion intertwining, it was as if a real white crane was dancing in the open space. The rich vital energy surged within his body like a river.

Wrath of the Wind God.

Wrath of the Fire God.

Wrath of the Thunder God.

Wrath of the Lightning God.

The internal energy in his dantian circulated in a strange manner, guiding the power of heaven and earth to condense into phantoms, transforming into attacks.

Compared to the Pine Crane Longevity Fist, the "Heaven's Will Four Symbols Art" at the Internal Fortification realm had stronger attack power.

Of course, this didn't mean the Pine Crane Longevity Fist was ineffective. Each art had its specialty. The "Heaven's Will Four Symbols Art" was more focused on offense, capable of drawing upon the power of heaven and earth at the Body Tempering realm. Even in the world of Yong Sheng, it was a rare cultivation technique.

Moreover, each time it was performed, it would forcibly extract a portion of the power of heaven and earth into the body, used to nourish the physical body and improve cultivation, comparable to consuming medicinal pills.

Half a month passed in a flash. Not much hair had grown, but his eyebrows had indeed grown out.

Touching the slightly prickly hair roots, Fang Xuan helplessly put on his hat and turned to return to the Fang Manor.

Clap clap clap~

In the front courtyard, Fang Qingwei stood proudly, her expression arrogant. Kneeling before her was a young servant wearing a gray coat and a small hat.

Beside him, a maidservant held a horsewhip in her hand, continuously lashing the servant's back.

Crack! Crack!

The maidservant had great strength in her hands, clearly having practiced martial arts. Each strike produced a sonic boom in the air.
