Heavenly Dipper Sacred Body True Scripture

Faced with the disciples' confusion, Li Yu explained, "This matter concerns the Second Meridian, so they naturally have to participate. It's just that their mission is different from ours. They are going to fight against Demonic Path sects, while our mission is to rescue the disciples of the Second Meridian. After that batch of Second Meridian disciples was attacked by Demonic Cultivators, they got separated, so our assigned mission is more scattered."

Zhou Bo asked, "Why did the Second Meridian disciples go to the Demonic Path territory?"

Li Yu didn't hide anything and replied, "They discovered the cave dwelling secret realm of a Grand Cultivator from the Jihao Sect, so the disciples organized themselves to explore it. Unexpectedly, they were attacked by Demonic Cultivators."

Jihao Sect!

The Third Meridian disciples gathered below the steps immediately erupted in an uproar, starting to discuss amongst themselves. It was clear they had all heard of the Jihao Sect.

Fang Wang whispered to Gu Li beside him, "What is the origin of the Jihao Sect?"

Hearing this, he could confirm that it was Fang Hanyu's group of disciples who were in trouble.

"The Jihao Sect was a major sect a thousand years ago. Great Qi and the surrounding dynasties were all territories of the Jihao Sect. However, for some unknown reason, the Jihao Sect disintegrated. The current Nine Great Sects all rose after the Jihao Sect's demise. Everything about the Jihao Sect is still pursued by various sects and aristocratic families, especially its inheritance," Gu Li replied.

As expected of a prominent family, they know so much.

Just as Fang Wang was hesitating, Li Yu's voice came, "According to the intelligence transmitted back by the Second Meridian disciples, they discovered the legendary Heavenly Dipper Sacred Body True Scripture. The reward for investigating this scripture is the greatest. Anyone who obtains this divine art can be directly promoted to a Personal Disciple. This is a common mission for disciples of the Nine Meridians, but there isn't much specific information about this divine art, so the mission difficulty is extremely high."

Heavenly Dipper Sacred Body True Scripture?

It sounds so domineering!

Fang Wang's natal treasure spirit was a long weapon, so he decided to focus on physical body improvement in the future. This Heavenly Dipper Sacred Body True Scripture sounded incredibly powerful.

He asked Gu Li again, "Is the Heavenly Dipper Sacred Body True Scripture very strong?"

Gu Li nodded, her face filled with longing. "Legend has it that the Heavenly Dipper Sacred Body possesses the power to move mountains and overturn seas. In ancient myths, the Heavenly Dipper Sacred Body was also one of the ancient gods, symbolizing strength. The Heavenly Dipper Sacred Body True Scripture is the cultivation method for the Heavenly Dipper Sacred Body and is also one of the Jihao Sect's most powerful cultivation methods. In Great Qi's immortal cultivation world, the legend of the Heavenly Dipper Sacred Body True Scripture has always circulated."

Moving mountains and overturning seas!

Fang Wang was moved by this, and so were the other disciples. However, no one stepped forward to accept the mission for a long time.

After pondering for a moment, Fang Wang walked towards Li Yu.

Well, it's not for Fang Hanyu, it's for the Heavenly Dipper Sacred Body True Scripture.

"Senior Brother, I want to accept the mission!"

Fang Wang said as he approached Li Yu. Hearing this, Li Yu hesitated. Seeing all the disciples turn their gaze towards him, he could only transmit his voice as a reminder, "Junior Brother Fang, this mission might be very simple, or it might be very dangerous. As for the Heavenly Dipper Sacred Body True Scripture, it's even more elusive. As a Personal Disciple, you don't need to take such risks. Let the disciples below gain some experience."

Fang Wang didn't reply using the Sound Transmission Technique. Instead, he said directly, "I have a clansman in the Second Meridian who might be involved in this matter. His name is Fang Hanyu. Do you have any information about him, Senior Brother? I must save him."

Upon hearing this, Li Yu could only comply. He extended his Spiritual Sense into his Storage Bag to search. Soon, he raised his right hand, and a piece of green jade appeared in his palm.

"The location where Fang Hanyu's disciple token last transmitted Spiritual Energy to the sect is recorded in this Guidance Jade. It will guide you to that place. There are no further clues for now," Li Yu said.

Fang Wang took the green jade, thanked him, and then turned to leave.

Seeing Fang Wang take on the mission, other disciples immediately rushed forward to receive their tasks from Li Yu.

Gu Li came up to Fang Wang and asked, "Do you need my help?"

Fang Wang shook his head. "I'm not purely here for the mission, so don't get involved. Focus on your cultivation. I'll wait for you to challenge me at the ninth level of the Spirit Sculpting Realm."

Gu Li nodded and said no more. The two then flew towards the cave dwelling.

After returning to the cave dwelling, Fang Wang began to pack his belongings. Once he was ready, he extended his Spiritual Sense into the green jade. His consciousness was immediately plunged into darkness. He instinctively scanned around and saw a bright light far away.

This is the direction indicator!

The cultivation manual mentioned this jade, calling it Guidance Jade. Fang Wang was using it for the first time and was quite curious.

He didn't delay for too long. After confirming the direction, he put the Guidance Jade into his Storage Bag and then got up to leave.

He walked out of the cave dwelling but didn't leave the Taiyuan Sect immediately. Instead, he headed towards the Pill Hall, planning to collect the sect's pills for the past six months and buy some healing medicine just in case.

Half an hour later.

Fang Wang left the giant city on his Flying Sword, preparing to descend the mountain.

"Wait! I'll go with you!"

A voice called out. Fang Wang turned his head and saw Zhou Xingshi rushing over.

Seeing him appear, Fang Wang knew he was being monitored. Yang Yuanzi must have instructed other disciples to keep an eye on his whereabouts. Perhaps it was well-intentioned, but he had to be wary.

"Who sent you?" Fang Wang asked.

Zhou Xingshi flew his sword, keeping pace with Fang Wang, and replied, "It was your master. He was worried that you might encounter trouble on your first time descending the mountain. If we go together, at least we can look out for each other."

Fang Wang nodded and didn't ask further, continuing on his journey.

The two passed through the vast white snow, their figures quickly disappearing from sight.

In the western region of Great Qi, under the blue sky and white clouds, green mountains and clear waters converged into a beautiful landscape.

In a valley, flowers and grass grew in abundance, and the branches and leaves were extremely dense. Fang Hanyu leaned against a tree trunk, his body shaded by the foliage. His robes were dirty and tattered, and a cloth was tied over his eyes, obscuring his vision.

He tried to circulate his energy but couldn't help but cough violently, even spitting up blood.

"Don't move around too much. You've been poisoned by Green Cicada Valley. Even with my treatment, you'll need several years to recover," a female voice said.

He saw a young girl squatting on a nearby tree. She was wearing a green dress and a fox mask on her face. Judging by her figure, she looked no older than fifteen or sixteen.

Fang Hanyu, unable to see, asked, "When will I be able to walk?"

"Wait another three months. Your bones were already shattered. You should be grateful to be alive, so stop rushing me, okay!" the green-clothed girl snorted impatiently.

Fang Hanyu remained silent.

His fists were clenched tightly in his sleeves, and he felt utterly stifled.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of Fang Wang, Zhou Xue, and the other clansmen in the Taiyuan Sect. He then thought of the Fang Manor in Nanqiu City. He tried hard to calm his emotions and encourage himself; he couldn't fall here.

A shrill cry cut through the sky, startling the birds in the forest.

The young girl in green tilted her head back and saw a massive demonic bird soar overhead. She clicked her tongue in amazement. "What on earth is it that has so many Demonic Path cultivators in such a frenzy? They seem to be searching for something. Could they be looking for you? Do you have something they want?"

Fang Hanyu didn't reply. Leaning against the tree trunk, he seemed to have fallen asleep.

"Tch, if you don't want to talk, then don't. I don't want to get into trouble either. Just pray they don't find this place. If they come looking for you, I can't protect you. I'll definitely abandon you and leave," the young girl in green huffed. She then lay down on a branch, preparing for a nap.

Fang Hanyu raised his head slightly, as if trying to look at the sky, but he hadn't seen the light in a very long time.

Night fell.

In the forest, Fang Wang and Zhou Xingshi sat by a campfire, the flames casting long shadows.

"The seasons in Taiyuan Sect are so different from the mortal world," Fang Wang sighed.

It had been five days since they descended the mountain, and they were nearing the direction indicated by the Guidance Jade. Fang Wang tried his best not to think about the possibility of Fang Hanyu's death.

Zhou Xingshi nodded. "The nine major sects all have their own spiritual formations. With the convergence of abundant Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, their celestial phenomena are also more prolonged than in the mortal world."

Fang Wang asked, "Body Protection Divine Gang, Great Heaven Lightning Summoning Technique—have you practiced them?"

Hearing this, Zhou Xingshi gave a wry smile. "These two ultimate skills are extremely profound. It will likely take decades of arduous cultivation to master them."

Fang Wang's interest was piqued, and he pressed further, "How many spells have you mastered? And how many of them can be considered Great Accomplishment?"

"I have seven spells, but only one can truly be considered Great Accomplishment, and that's a family inheritance. On the path of immortal cultivation, just absorbing Qi to accumulate cultivation requires a vast amount of time. It's already quite difficult for me to achieve Great Accomplishment in even one spell," Zhou Xingshi replied truthfully. He couldn't help but look at Fang Wang.

He couldn't forget the scene of Fang Wang fighting fifty-one cultivators alone. That sword strike that had shocked Gu Li must have been a Great Accomplishment sword technique. And his cultivation method—that terrifying flame had clearly also reached the Great Accomplishment level.

Fang Wang felt much more at ease after hearing this. After all, others didn't have a Celestial Palace, and even Spirit Sculpting Realm cultivators could only achieve Great Accomplishment in a few spells. Besides the grade of his natal treasure spirit, he also had the advantage of his combat techniques.

He had mastered the Grand Perfection Mysterious Sun Scripture, Startling Swan Divine Sword Art, White Rainbow Escape Technique, Body Protection Divine Gang, and Great Heaven Lightning Summoning Technique. He could attack, defend, and escape—he was already quite well-rounded.

"Following this direction, we might encounter Green Cicada Valley and Yellow Prison Mountain. Green Cicada Valley is a Demonic Path sect that specializes in poisons, while Yellow Prison Mountain is more comprehensive. These two sects are adjacent and constantly at odds. We need to be careful when acting and not reveal our identities," Zhou Xingshi warned.

Fang Wang nodded. "I just want to find my clansmen; I won't act recklessly."

He wondered how powerful the Heavenly Dipper Sacred Body True Scripture was.

The Mysterious Sun Scripture could be considered an internal cultivation method, while the Heavenly Dipper Sacred Body True Scripture should be an external one. With one internal and one external, his strength would leap forward.

Zhou Xingshi said no more and began to sit in meditation, absorbing Qi.

Fang Wang did the same.

The night grew deeper, and wolf howls occasionally echoed.

Time passed in a flash.

Three days later, Fang Wang and Zhou Xingshi arrived at a rural town. The two changed into the attire they wore before entering Taiyuan Sect. Fang Wang wore a form-fitting white robe and a bamboo hat given to him by Zhou Xingshi, looking like a wandering swordsman.

Zhou Xingshi transmitted his voice. "The spiritual energy here is more concentrated than in other places. It's likely a market built by cultivators. When gathering information, don't mention that Fang Hanyu is from Taiyuan Sect; just describe his appearance."

Fang Wang had already learned the Sound Transmission Technique from the cultivation manual. He responded with a sentence and then began observing the people along the way.

Most of the people coming and going in the town had a spiritual energy aura, and the majority were below the fifth level of the Qi Nurturing Realm, posing no threat.

According to the Guidance Jade, Fang Hanyu's last contact with the sect using his disciple token was in this very town.
