A Special Meal

"The Dao began by giving birth to the Void; the Void gave birth to the Universe; the Universe gave birth to the Three Realms; the Three Realms gave birth to the Six Paths; the Six Paths gave birth to the myriad things..."

Sect Master Tongtian uttered Great Dao scriptures, each word transforming into Great Dao divine script.

Each Great Dao divine script was immensely heavy, pressing down like Mount Tai, causing the void to explode repeatedly. However, when these divine scripts landed on Fang Yang's body, they condensed into Great Dao runes, which Fang Yang digested and absorbed.

The Great Dao cannot be carried by matter, but the heart can. The heart can encompass everything; no matter how profound the Great Dao, the heart can understand and digest it.

Fang Yang transformed into a Golden Man, his Golden Immortal Dao Fruit appearing above his head, spinning rapidly.

Above his Dao Fruit, four talismans were most conspicuous. In the center of each talisman sat a Law Spirit. Laws have Origin Spirits; this was a product of Fang Yang cultivating World Creation and Transformation.

Fang Yang could bestow life upon all things in the world, including the divine abilities and Daoist arts he cultivated.

The first Law Spirit was entirely composed of lightning, crackling and exploding, with electric light flashing, shattering heaven and earth. This was the Law Spirit of Divine Firmament Heavenly Thunder.

The second Law Spirit was an Elegant Immortal, with an ethereal form, shuttling between the Thirty-three Heavens and the Ninety-nine Earths. His form was indistinguishable from the void, roaming the Three Realms. This was the Law Spirit of the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Divine Roaming Technique.

The third Law Spirit had a Human Face Bird Body, Six Legs Four Wings, with spatial power swirling around the Law Spirit, fluctuating up and down. This was the Law Spirit of the Three Thousand Universes Ascension Art.

The fourth Law Spirit had a Human Body Snake Tail, holding a ball of Five-colored divine light in its hands, as if trying to mend the Azure Sky. This was the Law Spirit of World Creation and Transformation.

The four great divine abilities Fang Yang cultivated had all attained the Dao. If they were to detach from Fang Yang's body, they could transform into flesh and blood beings. However, the ultimate goal of divine abilities was not the perfection of Daoist arts, but the derivation of laws.

Fang Yang's pursuit of Law-Self Unity was to master the laws gestated by these divine abilities through their cultivation.

Sect Master Tongtian, with his discerning eyes, saw through Fang Yang's plan with just a glance. Seeing that his disciple had his own cultivation plan, rather than blindly following his teacher, he felt immensely gratified.

Sect Master Tongtian had initially intended to lecture Fang Yang on the key points and difficulties of breaking through realms. Upon understanding Fang Yang's intentions, he canceled these lessons.

He realized that Fang Yang would naturally comprehend this part of the content without his teaching. What he needed to impart to Fang Yang were the characteristics of the realms and the general direction of cultivation.

He believed that after understanding these, Fang Yang would be able to forge his own path.

Fang Yang did not disappoint Sect Master Tongtian's expectations. Within a mere hundred years of Sect Master Tongtian's lectures, his cultivation surged rapidly, reaching the peak of the Golden Immortal realm.

The four great divine abilities he cultivated also advanced by leaps and bounds. The four divine ability talismans condensed into Law Seeds. Once the seeds grew and erupted, they would gestate the four laws of thunder, speed, space, and creation.

"Well done, almost reaching the Dao. Disciple, how many surprises do you still have that I don't know about?"

Sect Master Tongtian had personally witnessed Fang Yang's every bit of progress. Fang Yang had cultivated entirely on his own, without any shortcuts.

"Let me see if you can achieve the realm of Law-Self Unity before the laws are gestated this time."

Once divine abilities gestate laws, achieving Law-Self Unity becomes very difficult, especially in Fang Yang's situation. He had cultivated four great divine abilities to the point of evolving laws all at once, and his Primordial Spirit could not simultaneously bear the impact of four laws.

He had to first achieve Law-Self Unity, and then cultivate each law one by one. Only then could he absorb the nascent laws and push his cultivation even higher.

"Great Law of Inverting Yin and Yang"

"Great Law of Returning Heaven and Sun"

"Great Law of Delineating Rivers to Form Land"

"Great Law of Pointing at the Earth to Form Steel"

The Thirty-six Heavenly Spirits are the fundamental great laws of the Xuanmen. The Xuanmen's most top-tier divine abilities are all cultivated based on the Thirty-six Heavenly Spirits.

These thirty-six laws are easy to learn but difficult to master. Most Xuanmen disciples can learn some superficial aspects, but to cultivate all these divine abilities into laws requires extremely high comprehension.

Sect Master Tongtian had some confidence in Fang Yang's comprehension. He taught without reservation, not worrying at all whether Fang Yang could digest them.

The preaching in Biyou Palace continued like this. The auspicious signs of the preaching even penetrated the palace doors, revealing themselves to the outside. As the Dao Sound flowed, it resonated with the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, and clusters of Golden Lotuses bloomed from the void.

Such a scene naturally attracted the attention of the disciples of the Sect of Interception.

In Duobao Hall, a figure as wide as a door panel stood at the entrance. His gaze was steady, looking towards Purple Ganoderma Cliff. Behind him, a woman in fiery red clothing and a middle-aged Daoist with a receding hairline stood on either side.

"Teacher preaching to a single disciple alone, this kind of treatment, only I have enjoyed it. I didn't expect others could also receive such treatment. Junior Brother Fang Yang, you have successfully caught my attention."

This door-panel-wide person was the fattest immortal among the four teachings, making even Zhu Bajie, the future disciple of Grand Master Xuandu, bow in defeat. He was Daoist Duobao, the Senior Brother of all disciples of the Sect of Interception.

Standing behind him were his two disciples, Saint Mother Huoling and Aynafava.

"Teacher, Junior Uncle Fang Yang's cultivation is still shallow. It is only natural for Ancestor Master to take great care of him."

Aynafava seemed to sense Daoist Duobao's mood and spoke to comfort him.

He was originally Daoist Duobao's First Disciple, but he was too engrossed in mechanisms, intelligence, and ambushes. Daoist Duobao believed he was too distracted to cultivate to Grand Unity Golden Immortal, so he gradually grew weary of him and demoted him to Second Disciple.

Aynafava thought Saint Mother Huoling had stolen Daoist Duobao's favor, so he always targeted Saint Mother Huoling and tried to please Daoist Duobao.

"Well said!"

Daoist Duobao said after a brief silence.

A mere Golden Immortal did not threaten him. He would show Sect Master Tongtian who was the most outstanding disciple of the Sect of Interception.

In Biyou Palace, Fang Yang was improving at a furious pace.

He absorbed all the divine abilities preached by Sect Master Tongtian. The principles and mysteries contained within each divine ability became the nourishment for his cultivation.

Countless thoughts arose in his mind. These thoughts were not his, but belonged to the divine abilities he was cultivating. His thoughts were combining with the thoughts of the divine abilities, becoming one, just like Old Ancestor Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao.

He finally understood that the divine abilities he cultivated were originally a part of his body, composed of the profound mysteries he comprehended. His will was the will of the divine abilities; there was no difference between the two.

As he merged with the myriad of thoughts, the profound mysteries of all divine abilities flowed into his body, becoming his body's instinct.

His magical power surged in an instant. His physical body could barely withstand the sudden surge of magical power, swelling up. However, besides Fang Yang himself, there were also the spirit essences of various divine abilities within his body.

These spirit essences sensed the situation their host was in and each took action, absorbing the surging magical power and helping Fang Yang maintain balance.

"My disciple's magical power is a hundred times greater than before. Even a Grand Unity Golden Immortal cannot compare to him. Indeed, I still need to impart a divine ability for cultivating the physical body to him."

Sect Master Tongtian observed this, using Fang Yang's physical data as a basis to deduce a divine ability for cultivating the physical body.
