Spirit Item: Pale Skull

Fang Qingxue slowly opened her eyes, looking down at the Nine Dragons Stone in her hand with a face full of surprise. Even with the aid of elixirs, her injuries should have taken at least a month to heal. But now, in just an hour, aside from the damage to her vital energy which would take some time to recover, all her other injuries were completely healed.

"What a treasure."

After speaking, she looked up at Fang Xuan and said, "Fang Xuan, it seems you also have a big secret!"

Fang Xuan handed half of the peeled Honey Tangerine to Fang Qingxue and said with a smile, "Who doesn't have a few secrets? Big Sister is the same, using the power of the Mystic Divine Realm while still in the Body Tempering Realm. Below the Body Tempering Realm, who can be your match?"

"So, what are your thoughts?" Fang Qingxue's eyes stared directly at Fang Xuan, as if trying to see through his heart.

Fang Xuan peeled off a segment of the tangerine and put it in his mouth. The juice was sweet, with a hint of coolness, incredibly delicious.

"My surname is Fang," Fang Xuan replied.

Fang Qingxue also smiled brightly and said, "Yes! We are both surnamed Fang."

From the moment Fang Xuan was willing to take out the Nine Dragons Stone, Fang Qingxue had completely accepted him.

Taking out such a treasure without hesitation showed his trust in her. Moreover, they shared the same bloodline, and the connection of kinship combined with the entanglement of interests meant that at this moment, they were truly family, siblings.

"Big Sister, the path to immortality is fraught with hardships. Inner Demons and Outer Demons are countless. Only by slaying the illusory can one find the true self. I hope we siblings can support each other and strive for the Great Dao together," Fang Xuan said.

"Good."

The two looked at each other, then burst into laughter, their laughter filled with joy.

From now on, they had family they could rely on to watch their backs. The path to immortality would no longer be a lonely one.

Fang Xuan was also happy in his heart, having found another strong support.

Although not as strong as Fang Han's support, it was still significant.

A reincarnation of the Lightning Mother, with boundless magic power and vast divine abilities. As someone who could enter the Gate of Eternal Life and even bring out its artifact spirit, her cultivation was simply immeasurably strong.

Now that he had secured both strong supports, even if his own cultivation failed, these two supports would carry him to success.

What was there to fear?

Fang Xuan took out the Essence Bloodstone and the Pale Skull from his怀 and placed them on the table. He chuckled and said, "Brothers settle accounts clearly. It's time to distribute the spoils. Big Sister, I need to hold onto this Spirit Item for a while. I have a great use for it."

Fang Qingxue shook her head and said, "Even if you didn't say anything, I wouldn't take it. If you hadn't killed the Flying Yaksha, this Spirit Item wouldn't even be a topic of discussion. It's yours."

Fang Xuan smiled and took the Pale Skull into his hand, biting his finger to refine it directly. "It's different. We're siblings, who's who? What's mine is yours. If I didn't truly have a great use for it, I would have given it directly to Big Sister. With my strength, below the Mystic Divine Realm, who can be my match?"

Fang Qingxue nodded in agreement with this statement. Her younger brother was simply incredibly strong. He had actually beaten a Flying Yaksha to death with his bare fists. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed it.

This wasn't a human, it was clearly a divine beast!

As the Pale Skull was blood-refined, under the connection of their minds, the entire Spirit Item shed its mysterious veil. Arrays of magic power were inscribed within the skull, allowing this Spirit Item to unleash incredibly powerful killing force. A thick black mist swirled within it, and with just a thought, it could be released to kill enemies.

Good stuff. It truly lived up to its reputation as a treasure that could be exchanged for a city in the Mortal World. It was indeed extraordinary.

"As for this Essence Bloodstone, Big Sister, you take it. Absorb the power within it to increase your cultivation and strive for a position as an Inner Sect Disciple," Fang Xuan said.

"No, half for each of us. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to get this Essence Bloodstone at all," Fang Qingxue shook her head.

"Big Sister, listen to me. With my current strength, no one below the Mystic Divine Realm can match me. What I lack is only Sect Contribution. As long as Big Sister's cultivation improves, we can both take on some Sect Tasks and strive for Inner Sect Disciple status. Although the Essence Bloodstone is good, it hasn't fully matured yet and doesn't contain much energy. A hundred birds in the forest are not as good as one bird in hand. Instead of dividing it into two parts, it's better to focus on strengthening one person. This way, we can maximize our benefits," Fang Xuan said.

Fang Xuan's persuasion made Fang Qingxue silent for a moment, and finally, she nodded and said, "Okay."

After distributing the spoils, Fang Xuan didn't linger and returned to his Small Courtyard.

The Divine Courage Realm had been achieved. It was time to go to the next world.

Fang Xuan was not in a hurry, but rested for several days.

In the Small Courtyard, Fang Xuan practiced his fists again. Pine Crane Longevity Fist, Flying Spirit Supple Bone Body, and Dragon Form Flying Tiger Step were practiced alternately, or sometimes simultaneously.

Compared to those at the same level, his vital energy, which was nearly three times stronger, surged within his body.

Every move, every action, transformed into waves of power within his body. The surging vital energy, like a tide, rose towards his brain according to Fang Xuan's will, as if turning into light illuminating his brain.

His brain, under Fang Xuan's perception, was originally just a pitch-black area, even undetectable. But at this moment, as Fang Xuan was immersed in cultivation, the dark world inside his brain seemed to be illuminated by the white light of vital energy, gradually dispelling the darkness.

And as the darkness receded, in the distant depths, he vaguely saw a hidden stone gate, ancient and heavy, neither perfectly round nor perfectly square.

The纹理 on the gate were full and delicate, one by one, just like the grooves of a brain. The entire appearance of the brain was actually a Gate of Divine Abilities?

"I have nearly three times the vital energy of an ordinary person. I wonder if I can break through the Gate of Divine Abilities and enter the Mystic Divine Realm?"

With a thought, Fang Xuan mobilized all the vital energy in his body, turning it into the white light that illuminated the heavenly gate in his mind, and then fiercely slammed it towards the Gate of Divine Abilities.

"Puff~"

A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out. Fang Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, and the next moment, he collapsed to the ground, holding his head and wailing in pain.

His brain felt like it was being pricked by needles, a piercing pain. He wanted to faint, but the pain kept him unusually awake.

After a long while, he slowly crawled up from the ground, gasping for air, his eyes showing a lingering fear.

"The vital energy is enough, but the mental power is insufficient. No wonder the ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm, Spirit Connection, and the tenth level, Divine Transformation, are both about cultivating the spirit and transforming the original spirit with the spirit. So that's how it is."

After resting for a full three hours, the pain in Fang Xuan's brain completely subsided.

He sat cross-legged on the futon, contemplating his next course of action.

"It's impossible to break into the Gate of Divine Abilities with just the Outer Sect Three Basic Cultivation Methods. Only by becoming an Inner Sect Disciple and gaining access to methods for cultivating the spirit can I enter the last two realms of the Body Tempering Realm. However, becoming an Inner Sect Disciple requires not only strength but also Sect Contribution, which cannot be achieved in a short time.

There is another way: communicate with the Myriad Heavens and search for methods of spiritual cultivation in the Small Worlds."
