Heavenly Dipper Sacred Body True Scripture

Facing the disciples' confusion, Li Yu explained, "This matter concerns the second vein, so naturally they must participate. It's just that their mission differs from ours; they are going to confront demonic sects, while our task is to rescue the second vein disciples. That batch of second vein disciples scattered after being ambushed by demonic cultivators, so the tasks assigned to us are rather dispersed."

Zhou Bo asked aloud, "Why did the second vein disciples go to the Demonic Path's territory?"

Li Yu did not conceal it, replying, "They discovered a cave dwelling secret realm of a Jihao Sect grand cultivator, so the disciples organized themselves to go and explore, only to unexpectedly encounter an ambush by demonic cultivators."

The Jihao Sect!

The third vein disciples gathered beneath the steps instantly erupted into an uproar, beginning to discuss it among themselves. Clearly, all of them had heard of the Jihao Sect's name.

Fang Wang asked Gu Li in a low voice beside him, "What is the origin of the Jihao Sect?"

Hearing this, he could confirm that it was indeed Fang Hanyu's batch of disciples that had met with trouble.

"The Jihao Sect was a great sect from a millennium ago. Great Qi and the surrounding dynasties were all once the territory of the Jihao Sect, but for unknown reasons, the Jihao Sect disintegrated. The current nine great sects all rose after the fall of the Jihao Sect. Everything concerning the Jihao Sect is still pursued by various sects and aristocratic clans to this day, especially the inheritance of the Jihao Sect," Gu Li replied.

As expected of a great aristocratic clan, they understood so much.

Just as Fang Wang hesitated in his heart, Li Yu's voice arrived, "According to the intelligence sent back by the second vein disciples, they discovered the legendary Heavenly Dipper Sacred Body True Scripture. The reward for the task of investigating the Heavenly Dipper Sacred Body True Scripture is the greatest. Whoever obtains this divine art can be directly promoted to a personal disciple. This is a joint task directed at the disciples of all nine peaks, but specific clues regarding this divine art are scarce, so the task difficulty is extremely high."

The Heavenly Dipper Sacred Body True Scripture?

It sounded so domineering!

Fang Wang's life-bound treasure spirit was a long weapon, so he decided to focus on physical enhancement in the future. This Heavenly Dipper Sacred Body True Scripture sounded utterly domineering.

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

Gu Li nodded, a look of yearning appearing on her face as she said, "Legend has it that the Heavenly Dipper Sacred Body possesses the ability to move mountains and overturn seas. In ancient myths, the Heavenly Dipper Sacred Body was also one of the ancient gods, symbolizing power, and the Heavenly Dipper Sacred Body True Scripture is the cultivation method for the Heavenly Dipper Sacred Body, as well as one of the strongest cultivation methods of the Jihao Sect. In Great Qi's immortal cultivation world, legends of the Heavenly Dipper Sacred Body True Scripture have always circulated."

Moving mountains and overturning seas!

Fang Wang felt moved upon hearing this, and the other disciples were the same, yet no one stepped forward to accept the task for a long time.

Pondering for a moment, Fang Wang raised his steps and walked toward Li Yu.

Well, it wasn't for Fang Hanyu; it was for the Heavenly Dipper Sacred Body True Scripture.

"Senior Brother, I want to take on the task!"

Fang Wang arrived before Li Yu and spoke. Hearing this, Li Yu hesitated somewhat. Seeing all the disciples cast their gazes over, he had no choice but to transmit his voice in a warning, "Junior Brother Fang, this task could be very simple, or it could be extremely dangerous. As for that Heavenly Dipper Sacred Body True Scripture, it is even more illusory. As a personal disciple, you have no need to trap yourself. Just let the junior disciples go and gain experience."

Fang Wang did not reply with the Sound Transmission Technique, instead speaking directly, "I have a kinsman in the second vein who very likely participated in this matter. His name is Fang Hanyu. I wonder if Senior Brother has any clues about him; I must go and save him."

Hearing this, Li Yu could only drop the matter. He probed his spiritual sense into his own storage bag to search, and very soon, he raised his right hand, a piece of blue jade appearing in his palm.

"The location where Fang Hanyu's disciple token last transmitted spiritual power to the sect is recorded within this guidance jade. It will guide you to that place; there are no further clues for the time being," Li Yu spoke.

Fang Wang received the blue jade, uttered a word of thanks, and then turned and left.

Seeing Fang Wang participate, other disciples immediately rushed forward to collect the task from Li Yu.

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

Fang Wang shook his head and said, "I'm not purely doing this for the task, so you shouldn't get involved. Cultivate well, and I will wait for you at the Ninth Layer of Spirit Sculpting Realm for your challenge."

Gu Li nodded and ceased idle talk, the two of them flying toward the cave dwelling.

Upon returning to the cave dwelling, Fang Wang began to pack his things. Once packed, he probed his spiritual sense into the blue jade. His consciousness was instantly situated within a blanket of darkness, and he instinctively swept his gaze, seeing a bright light far in the distance.

This was guiding the direction!

The General Outline of Cultivation recorded this jade, named the guidance jade. It was Fang Wang's first time using it, and he was quite curious.

He did not delay for too long. After confirming the direction, he placed the guidance jade into his storage bag, then rose and left.

Upon stepping out of the cave dwelling, he did not immediately leave the Taiyuan Sect, instead heading toward the Elixir Hall, preparing to collect his sect elixirs for the past half-year and incidentally buy some healing medicines just in case.

Half an hour later.

Fang Wang stepped upon his flying sword, leaving the gigantic city and preparing to descend the mountain.

"Wait! I'll accompany you!"

A voice arrived. Fang Wang turned his head to look, and Zhou Xingshi hurried over.

Seeing him appear, Fang Wang knew he was being monitored. Yang Yuanzi had surely entrusted other disciples to pay attention to his movements. Perhaps it was well-intentioned, but he had to be on guard.

"Who sent you?" Fang Wang asked.

Zhou Xingshi flew on his flying sword, keeping pace alongside Fang Wang, and replied, "It's your master. He worries that you will encounter trouble on your first time down the mountain. With the two of us joining forces, at least we'll have mutual support."

Fang Wang nodded, asked no more questions, and continued on his journey.

The two of them passed through the boundless snow, their figures quickly disappearing from sight.

In the western border of Great Qi, beneath blue skies and white clouds, green mountains and clear waters gathered into a magnificent scenery.

Within a mountain valley, flowers and grasses grew in abundance, the tree branches and leaves extremely dense. Fang Hanyu leaned against a tree trunk, his body shielded by the shade of the trees. His robes were soiled, old, and tattered, with a piece of cloth bound over his eyes to obscure his vision.

He wanted to circulate his cultivation technique, but could not help coughing violently, even coughing up blood.

"Stop moving around. You've been poisoned by the Green Cicada Valley. Even with my medical treatment, it will still require recuperation for several years," a female voice arrived.

Only to see a young girl squatting on the nearby tree, dressed in green robes and wearing a fox mask on her face. Judging by her figure, she appeared to be only fifteen or sixteen years old.

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

"Wait another three months! Your tendons and bones were already broken to pieces; being able to survive is already something for you to rejoice over. Stop urging me, alright!" the green-robed girl impatiently and coldly snorted.

Fang Hanyu fell silent.

The fists within his sleeves were tightly clenched, his heart feeling utterly stifled to the extreme.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of Fang Wang, Zhou Xue, and the other kinsmen in the Taiyuan Sect, and he thought of the Fang Manor in Nanqiu City. He strove to calm his emotions, inspiring himself—he could not fall here.

A shrill cry swept across the vault of the heaven, startling the birds and fowl in the mountain forest.

The green-robed girl raised her head, spotting a massive demonic fowl sweeping past above the valley. She clicked her tongue in wonder and said, "What on earth is that thing, actually causing so many demonic cultivators to make such a massive fuss? They seem to be searching for something. Could it be you they're looking for? Are you hiding something they want on your person?"

Fang Hanyu did not reply, leaning against the tree trunk as though he had fallen asleep.

"Hmph, if you won't say, then don't say. I don't want to cause trouble either; you'd better pray they don't discover this place. If they come looking for you, I won't be able to protect you and will definitely abandon you and leave."

The green-robed girl snorted. As she spoke, she also lay down on the tree branch, preparing to take a nap.

Fang Hanyu raised his head slightly, seeming to want to see the light, but he had not seen radiance for quite some time.

Night fell.

Within the forest, Fang Wang and Zhou Xingshi sat before a campfire, the firelight drawing their shadows very long.

"The seasons inside the Taiyuan Sect really differ so much from the mortal world," Fang Wang remarked with emotion.

It had already been five days since descending the mountain, and they were drawing close to the direction pointed by the guidance jade. Fang Wang forced himself not to think about the possibility of Fang Hanyu's death.

Zhou Xingshi nodded and said, "The nine great sects all possess their own spiritual arrays. Once Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy gathers more densely, their meteorological phenomena will also be more enduring than in the mortal world."

Fang Wang asked, "Have you cultivated the Body Protection Divine Gang and the Great Heaven Lightning Summoning Technique?"

Hearing this, Zhou Xingshi revealed a bitter smile and said, "These two ultimate techniques are extremely profound; without decades of bitter cultivation, I'm afraid they'll be hard to master."

Fang Wang grew interested and pursued the question, "How many spells have you mastered, and among them, how many can be considered consummated?"

"I have seven spells, and the only one truly considered consummated is from my lineage's heritage. On the path of immortal cultivation, merely gathering Qi to accumulate cultivation base requires consuming a vast amount of time. For me to have one spell reach consummation is already quite not easy," Zhou Xingshi answered truthfully, unable to help glancing at Fang Wang.

He could not forget the scene of Fang Wang fighting fifty-one cultivators alone. That sword flash which awed Gu Li was definitely a consummated sword technique, as well as his cultivation method—that terrifying roaring flame clearly also reached the level of consummation.

Hearing this, Fang Wang felt much more at ease in his heart. After all, the other people lacked a Heavenly Palace, and even Spirit Sculpting Realm cultivators could only cause a small minority of spells to reach consummation. Aside from the grade of his life-bound treasure spirit, he also possessed the advantage of combat methods.

He had mastered the consummated Mysterious Sun Scripture, Startling Swan Divine Sword Art, White Rainbow Escape Technique, Body Protection Divine Gang, and Great Heaven Lightning Summoning Technique. Capable of attacking, defending, and fleeing, he could already be considered well-rounded.

"Following this direction, we might come into contact with the Green Cicada Valley and Yellow Prison Mountain. The Green Cicada Valley is a Demonic Path sect that uses poison, while Yellow Prison Mountain is relatively well-rounded. These two sects are neighbors and engage in endless strife. We must be careful in our actions and not expose our identities," Zhou Xingshi warned.

Fang Wang nodded and said, "I only wish to seek my kinsmen; I won't act recklessly."

Just how strong was that Heavenly Dipper Sacred Body True Scripture, he wondered?

The Mysterious Sun Scripture could be considered an internal cultivation method, and the Heavenly Dipper Sacred Body Divine Scripture should be an external one. With both internal and external, his strength would undergo a leap.

Zhou Xingshi spoke no more, beginning to cross-legged and gather Qi.

Fang Wang did the same.

The night gradually deepened, and occasionally wolf howls rang out.

In the blink of an eye.

Three days later, Fang Wang and Zhou Xingshi arrived at a mountain wilderness town. The two of them had changed into the attire they wore before entering the Taiyuan Sect. Fang Wang wore a fitted suit of white clothes and had a bamboo hat given by Zhou Xingshi perched on his head, resembling a jianghu martial hero.

Zhou Xingshi transmitted his voice, "The spiritual energy here is denser than in other places; it's likely a market established by cultivators. When inquiring for news, do not mention that Fang Hanyu comes from the Taiyuan Sect—just state his physical characteristics."

Having already learned the Sound Transmission Technique from the General Outline of Cultivation, Fang Wang replied with a sentence, then began to observe the people along the way.

The people coming and going within the town almost all possessed spiritual power fluctuations, the majority below the Fifth Layer of Qi Nurturing Realm, posing no threat.

According to the guidance jade's directions, the last time Fang Hanyu used his disciple token to contact the sect was right within this town.
