After Yin-Yang Ancestor fled, all bluster and no bite, Xie Fang furrowed his brow.
In his hand, he clutched two short wisps of mist, one black and one white, like a pair of worms.
They were the Yin-Yang Two Energies he had cut from Yin-Yang Ancestor!
The Yin-Yang Two Energies had a master, however, and they struggled fiercely in Xie Fang's grasp.
Xie Fang tried tossing them into the Sea-Calming Pearl's inner space, only to discover that it couldn't withstand the destructive power of the Yin-Yang Two Energies!
After all, Yin-Yang Ancestor was still alive, and the Yin-Yang Two Energies in Xie Fang's hand were incomplete. There were only two ways to subdue them.
First, kill Yin-Yang Ancestor!
With their master gone, refining the Yin-Yang Two Energies would be much easier.
The second option was to forcibly refine the Yin-Yang Two Energies!
Use immense magical power to forcibly refine them!
"Yin-Yang Ancestor has fled. I won't be able to catch up with him anytime soon. For now, my only option is to forcibly refine the Yin-Yang Two Energies..."
Clutching the Yin-Yang Two Energies tightly, Xie Fang suddenly said, "Mo Wu, head for the Solar Star!"
Xie Fang's cultivation was slightly weaker than Yin-Yang Ancestor's, so forcibly refining the Yin-Yang Two Energies would be no easy task.
He would need outside help.
The Solar Purple Extreme Golden Fire on the Solar Star was the perfect flame for refining them!
The Solar Star's environment was harsh, though. It was shrouded in heat year-round, and Solar True Fire ran rampant. Ordinary cultivators who got too close would turn to ash in an instant!
But Xie Fang was a true Grand Unity Golden Immortal, so he had nothing to fear. He patted Mo Wu's back and immediately directed him toward the Solar Star.
"Hiss—"
Mo Wu couldn't help drawing a sharp breath!
What kind of place was the Solar Star?
Solar True Fire covered it, and deep within burned the fire known as the supreme flame among flames: the Solar Purple Extreme Golden Fire!
They said the Solar Purple Extreme Golden Fire could burn anything in the world—even things that could not be burned!
Mo Wu was terrified, but under Xie Fang's command, he didn't dare disobey. He broke into a run toward the Solar Star.
The Western World wasn't too far from the Solar Star, but it wasn't close either.
Even at Mo Wu's pace, it took a full eight thousand years of flight before a blazing fireball appeared in the distance, suspended in the sky!
It was the Solar Star!
"Master, the Solar Star is just ahead."
Mo Wu panted slightly as he spoke. "My cultivation isn't strong enough to get any closer."
Xie Fang opened his eyes and gave a slight nod before taking Mo Wu into his inner space.
Then, without delay, Xie Fang darted toward the Solar Star's interior.
The flames around the Solar Star's outskirts were all Solar True Fire, somewhat weaker than the Solar Purple Extreme Golden Fire. Xie Fang's target was the Solar Purple Extreme Golden Fire deep inside the star!
With his speed, he crossed the distance in mere moments.
Suddenly!
A scorching gale surged toward him!
The Solar True Fire, which had been calm, suddenly erupted into a frenzy, as if it meant to burn the world!
"Hmm? An innate formation!"
Far from being alarmed, Xie Fang was delighted. He knew he was already very close to his destination!
After all, Solar True Fire could burn everything across the entire Solar Star.
Yet one Innate Spiritual Root within it could not be burned: the Fusang Tree!
As one of the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots, the Fusang Tree naturally had an innate formation protecting it. Since Xie Fang had encountered this protective formation, the tree within was likely the Fusang Tree!
And the Solar Purple Extreme Golden Fire was right above it!
"I finally found it!"
A smile touched Xie Fang's lips. He activated his Spatial Divine Ability and teleported straight into the formation.
Before him stood an ancient tree a million zhang tall, flames billowing all around it!
Purple flames blazed across the tree, as though the giant tree itself were their fuel. Strangely, the tree wasn't damaged at all. Instead, the purple flames seemed to make it grow more lush.
"So this is the Fusang Divine Tree!"
After a brief pause, Xie Fang swept out his hand, reaching to seize the Fusang Divine Tree!
He intended to forcibly take the Solar Purple Extreme Golden Fire from the tree and make it his own!
But the next moment, Xie Fang suddenly withdrew his hand!
The Fusang Tree seemed to sense him and began shaking violently. Waves of heat surged forth, and flames blazed from its branches toward Xie Fang!
The Fusang Tree had sensed an outsider and was reacting fiercely!
"As expected of an Innate Spiritual Root. But now that I'm here, how could you scare me off!"
Xie Fang's true form was the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler. Mysterious Yellow Qi immediately enveloped him, and the power of the thirty-six Sea-Calming Pearls' Primordial Heavens Power came crashing down!
Boom!
An immense force slammed down, and the flames atop the Fusang Tree abruptly weakened!
At the same time, two sharp cries rang out from the treetop, a million zhang above!
Xie Fang swept his divine sense over the area and spotted two Three-legged Golden Crows wreathed in flames. They cried out as they fled the treetop and raced into the distance!
"I forgot there were two Golden Crows here."
Xie Fang smacked his forehead. No wonder the Fusang Tree had reacted so violently earlier—it was because of Di Jun and Tai Yi.
But the brothers had clearly realized that Xie Fang was not someone they could afford to provoke. With a cry, they immediately fled.
Xie Fang had no need to chase them. He tried to uproot the Fusang Tree, only to find that it was connected to the entire Solar Star.
If he wanted to take the tree, he would probably have to take the whole Solar Star with it!
"If I took the Solar Star, the Heavenly Dao would probably come down and kill me on the spot, wouldn't it?"
After thinking it over for a moment, Xie Fang leaped onto the Fusang Tree and drew the flames into his body!
Since he couldn't uproot the Fusang Tree, he would refine the Yin-Yang Two Energies right here!
He also had plenty of other treasures. With the abundant Spiritual Qi and ample flames here, he could refine them all while he was at it!
Cultivation passed without notice of time.
A hundred thousand years later.
Xie Fang finally opened his eyes, having refined the Yin-Yang Two Energies in his hand!
They were no match for the complete Yin-Yang Two Energies in power, but they were mainly useful for sneak attacks, so he had refined them into his true form.
He had also melted down both Twin Yin-Yang Rods and merged them into his true form!
Xie Fang's true form was still the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler, but now it radiated an even more soul-seizing aura of murderous intent!
Over these hundred thousand years, he had also studied part of the Jade Disc of Creation and successfully comprehended its Law of Space and Law of Power!
Unfortunately, the Jade Disc of Creation originally contained more than a dozen laws. The others were obscure and difficult to grasp; understanding them would take at least another million years!
So Xie Fang gave up at once!
There would be plenty of time to comprehend those laws later. By his reckoning, enough time had passed, and it was time to go collect another batch of Experience Points!
After all, he needed Experience Points to improve his Combat Law, the Laws of Space and Power he had just acquired, and his cultivation realm!
I'm broke!
