The Domain Gate

Fang Yang had no intention of correcting Weiwei's slacking off.

Though his senior sister had the potential to become the Holy Lord of Yaoguang, he was a man who intended to become the Holy Lord of Yaoguang himself.

If he hadn't come along, then Weiwei becoming the Holy Lord would have been fine.

But now that he was here, if Weiwei still became the Holy Lord, wouldn't that mean he'd come for nothing?

Fang Yang and Weiwei had both come from Spirit Ruins Grotto-Heaven, and both had become disciples of Li Daoming. As senior sister and junior brother, they naturally shared an unusually close bond.

Neither of them took their recent joke to heart. They immediately began discussing their respective cultivation.

A friendship between gentlemen was as clear as water.

Ninety-nine percent of their conversations concerned debating the Dao of the Yaoguang Scripture and the Primordial Sacred Light Art.

Most of the time, Fang Yang spoke and Weiwei listened.

Now and then, Weiwei offered a fresh perspective that helped open up his thinking.

Only when the sun sank and the horizon blazed with sunset clouds did they each return to their own caves.

"The Four Extremities Secret Realm focuses on comprehending the Dao. Unlike the first two secret realms, it doesn't place greater importance on resources than on comprehension."

Fang Yang began considering his next move.

It was difficult for cultivators of the Shrouding Method to make a name for themselves through secluded cultivation alone.

Unless you were some oddball like the God Emperor, who lay in a coffin for countless years and somehow emerged as a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

Besides, judging by the Fate Points he'd gained from killing Elder Han and his grandson, killing high-realm cultivators earned Fang Yang far more Fate Points than beating up weaklings.

If he didn't take advantage of being a Four Extremities cultivator to go hunt some wild monsters and level up, then once his cultivation realm rose, he might not get such a good opportunity again.

"I can learn the Sun Emperor Fist while fighting."

"Cultivating the Purple Qi Coming from the East phenomenon requires seclusion. I'll stay a few more days, then."

Fang Yang had already made some progress in manifesting the Purple Qi Coming from the East phenomenon within his Bitter Sea, and had begun to form its rudimentary shape.

But it would still take time and cultivation before it could fully take shape and manifest outward. It couldn't be accomplished overnight.

Nine days later.

Purple Qi Coming from the East... three hundred li!

At the peak, Li Daoming gazed at the unique phenomenon and murmured to himself,

"My disciple has some secrets."

When cultivators with special physiques reached the Four Extremities Secret Realm, phenomena would arise naturally within their Bitter Seas. But even after reaching the Four Extremities Secret Realm, those with Mortal Bodies still needed the appropriate methods to cultivate a phenomenon.

This Purple Qi Coming from the East phenomenon was... slightly stronger than the many phenomena of Yao Guang Sacred Land. Clearly, it was an opportunity Fang Yang had gained for himself.

"An opportunity he found in the Desolate Forbidden Zone?"

Li Daoming felt no greed over it.

He was already very old.

If he couldn't break through to the Immortal Second Realm, he had only two or three hundred years left to live. All he could hope for was to nurture a promising disciple who would make the Holy Lord Lineage great again.

The more opportunities Fang Yang had and the stronger his talent, the happier Li Daoming felt. What kind of master would covet his disciple's opportunities?

"Not bad!"

A faint wisp of purple qi flashed through Fang Yang's eyes. He was quite pleased with the Purple Qi Coming from the East phenomenon.

Then he strode through the air to the main hall where Li Daoming was. He walked straight inside and found his master, who had been waiting for him for some time.

"Your disciple pays his respects, Master!"

Fang Yang bowed.

"If you encounter danger while traveling this time, remember three things."

"Give your name!"

"Give your name!"

"Give your name!"

"Your uncle is the Holy Lord of Yaoguang, and you're the Candidate Holy Son of Yao Guang Sacred Land. Just give them your name, and the great powers will treat you with respect."

After speaking, Li Daoming took out a small white jade cauldron.

"It contains five Mystic Jade Platforms, each capable of transporting you ten thousand li, as well as three protective forbidden artifacts..."

Facing his master's earnest instructions, Fang Yang silently reached out and took the white jade cauldron. The moment it landed in his hand, he felt its considerable weight.

"Don't worry, Master. Your disciple values his life."

He understood that Li Daoming's behavior was likely due to the lingering trauma of his senior brother Yao Guang's death.

Yao Guang Sacred Land, Domain Gate.

Although Fang Yang had five Mystic Jade Platforms, he couldn't just waste them. As a Candidate Holy Son, he didn't need to pay any Pure Source to use the Domain Gate.

Nor did he need to wait for enough people to gather before departing.

"Which Domain Gate goes to the area near Taixuan Sect?"

Fang Yang asked one of the disciples guarding the Domain Gates, while taking out his Candidate Holy Son Token to avoid being looked down on.

His defeat of Li Rui had already set Yao Guang Sacred Land abuzz. Many people knew that a peerless prodigy had suddenly appeared.

But in truth, not many had actually seen him or knew what he looked like.

"Senior Brother Fang Yang, you'll need to transfer through six Domain Gates to reach Taixuan Sect. You can enter the second Domain Gate from the left."

The disciple answered respectfully without checking the token.

"You recognize me?"

Fang Yang asked curiously.

"Who hasn't heard of Senior Brother's great name?"

"Besides, I bought a copy of the Yaoguang Secret Chronicles. It's updated once a month and includes your portrait."

Fang Yang was intrigued by the disciple's answer. He hadn't expected something like that to exist.

"How much does it cost? I'm in a hurry to leave. Would you be willing to sell me a copy?"

"It's not worth much. Take it, Senior Brother."

The disciple hurriedly pulled a book four fingers thick from his storage artifact and handed it to Fang Yang.

Fang Yang accepted the book, titled the Yaoguang Secret Records, then took out ten jin of Pure Source and insisted that the older junior brother take it.

"How could I take your book for free? This little bit of Source is nothing. Don't think it's too little."

"That's a lot!"

The junior brother accepted the ten jin of Source. Though his face lit up at the large amount of Pure Source, inwardly he regretted that he hadn't managed to build a connection with Fang Yang.

Fang Yang had a bright future ahead of him. The junior brother naturally didn't think a miscellaneous book would earn him Fang Yang's favor.

But this small favor of giving him a book could still deter petty villains and save him a lot of trouble.

Now that the money and goods had changed hands, he couldn't go around publicizing what had happened today and use Fang Yang's name as a shield.

Fang Yang took the Yaoguang Secret Chronicles and read as he walked toward the appropriate Domain Gate.

He presented his Candidate Holy Son Token.

The person in charge of opening the Domain Gate took out a piece of Pure Source to power it.

Of course, it wasn't coming out of his own pocket. He could claim reimbursement from the Hall of Miscellaneous Affairs afterward.

Fang Yang stepped into the Domain Gate.

Li Daoming had brought him and Weiwei to Yao Guang Sacred Land before, so he'd already experienced this kind of teleportation. He wasn't surprised or nervous.

Mystic light shot into the sky.

Fang Yang arrived at the next stop, then asked the Domain Gate's keeper where to go next.

After repeating this several times, he finally reached a Domain Gate in Yao Guang Sacred Land's Southern Region.

This was a city where Yao Guang Sacred Land maintained a presence.

It was a little over three hundred and thirty li from Taixuan Sect.

It was a full twenty-three thousand li from Spirit Ruins Grotto-Heaven.

"Greetings, Candidate Holy Son!"

The city's governor was an official dispatched by Yao Guang Sacred Land. He was over three hundred years old and had cultivation in the Four Extremities Secret Realm.

Upon learning that Fang Yang had arrived, he hurried over. At Fang Yang's request, he briefed him on the major recent events in the area.

"The Ji Family's future Divine King carried the Extreme Emperor Weapon, the Void Mirror, and tried to seize the Green Emperor's Emperor Weapon. But Yan Ruyu escaped, so he failed."
