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

Although this senior sister had the potential to become the Holy Lord of Yaoguang.

He, too, was a man destined to become the Holy Lord of Yaoguang.

If he hadn't arrived, it would be one thing for Weiwei to become the Holy Lord of Yaoguang.

But now that he was here, if Weiwei still ended up as the Holy Lord of Yaoguang, wouldn't his arrival have been in vain?

Fang Yang and Weiwei both hailed from the Spirit Ruins Grotto-Heaven and were fellow disciples under Li Daoming, so their bond was naturally extraordinary.

They didn't take the jokes they had just made to heart, and immediately began discussing their respective cultivation paths.

A friendship between gentlemen is as pure as water.

Ninety-nine percent of their conversation was a discourse on the Yaoguang Scripture and the Primordial Sacred Light Art.

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

Occasionally, Weiwei would offer novel insights that helped broaden his perspective.

It wasn't until the sun set and the horizon was painted with fiery clouds that the two returned to their respective cave dwellings.

"The Four Extremities Secret Realm focuses on enlightenment; it is no longer like the previous two realms, where the demand for resources outweighs the demand for comprehension."

Fang Yang began to contemplate his next plan.

For a cultivator of the Shrouding the Heavens method, it is difficult to get ahead through closed-door cultivation alone.

Unless you are a freak like the God Emperor, who could lie flat in a coffin for countless years and emerge as a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

Moreover, judging by the destiny points obtained from killing Elder Han and his grandson.

Fang Yang gained far more destiny points from killing high-level cultivators than from bullying the weak.

If he didn't take advantage of being in the Four Extremities realm to go out and hunt for experience, he feared he wouldn't have such a good opportunity once his cultivation level rose further.

"The Sun Emperor Fist can be learned through combat."

"The Purple Qi Coming from the East phenomenon requires closed-door cultivation, so I will stay for a few more days."

Fang Yang had already achieved some results in evolving the Purple Qi Coming from the East phenomenon within his Bitter Sea, having initially condensed a prototype of the phenomenon.

However, to fully manifest it externally would require a period of cultivation; it could not be achieved overnight.

Nine days later.

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

At the peak, Li Daoming looked at this unique phenomenon and muttered to himself:

"This disciple of mine has some secrets."

When a special physique reaches the Four Extremities Secret Realm, phenomena manifest naturally within the Bitter Sea, but even if a mortal body reaches the Four Extremities Secret Realm, it requires corresponding techniques to cultivate such phenomena.

This Purple Qi Coming from the East phenomenon was slightly stronger than the many phenomena of the Yao Guang Sacred Land; it was clearly obtained through Fang Yang's own fortuitous encounter.

"Was it an opportunity obtained in the Desolate Forbidden Zone?"

Li Daoming felt no greed regarding this.

He was already very old.

If he could not break through to become an Immortal Second Realm Mighty Figure, he would only have two or three hundred years of life left. His only hope was to cultivate an outstanding disciple and make the lineage of the Holy Lord great once again.

The more opportunities Fang Yang had and the stronger his talent, the happier he would be. How could a master covet his disciple's fortune?

"Not bad!"

A wisp of purple mist flashed through Fang Yang's eyes, and he was quite satisfied with this Purple Qi Coming from the East phenomenon.

Afterward, he stepped through the void and arrived at the main hall where Li Daoming was located. He walked straight in and saw his master, who had been waiting for a long time.

"Disciple pays respects to Master!"

Fang Yang bowed and saluted.

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

"State your background!"

"State your background!"

"State your background!"

"As the nephew of the Holy Lord of Yaoguang and a candidate for the Holy Son of the Yao Guang Sacred Land, as long as you state your name, those major powers will treat you with courtesy."

After Li Daoming finished speaking, he took out a small white jade tripod and said:

"Inside are five Mystic Jade Platforms, capable of teleporting you ten thousand miles, as well as three protective forbidden artifacts..."

Facing his master's teachings, Fang Yang reached out and silently took the small white jade tripod. The moment it touched his hand, he felt its heavy weight.

"Rest assured, Master, your disciple cherishes his life."

He understood that Li Daoming's behavior was largely due to the psychological shadow cast by the death of Senior Brother Yao Guang.

Yao Guang Sacred Land, Domain Gate.

Although Fang Yang had five Mystic Jade Platforms in his possession, he could not squander them recklessly; as a candidate Saint Son, he did not need to pay any Pure Source to use the domain gates.

Furthermore, he did not need to wait for a full group to begin the teleportation.

"Which one is the domain gate leading to the vicinity of Taixuan Sect?"

Fang Yang asked the disciple guarding the domain gate, simultaneously pulling out his candidate Saint Son identity token to avoid any instances of being looked down upon by those with eyes like dogs.

The news of him defeating Li Rui had been spreading like wildfire throughout Yao Guang Sacred Land for some time, and many were aware that a new prodigy had emerged.

However, there were actually not many who had truly seen him or knew what he looked like.

"Senior Brother Fang Yang, you need to transfer through six domain gates to reach Taixuan Sect. You may enter through the second gate on the left."

The disciple did not even check the token, answering respectfully.

"You recognize me?"

Fang Yang asked with curiosity.

"Who doesn't know your great name, Senior Brother?"

"Besides, I purchased a copy of Yaoguang Secret Chronicles, which updates once a month and contains your portrait."

Faced with the disciple's answer, Fang Yang became interested; he had not expected such a thing to exist.

"How much Source? I am in a hurry to head out; could you part with a copy and sell it to me?"

"It's not worth much, Senior Brother. Just take it if you want it."

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

Fang Yang took the Yaoguang Secret Records, pulled out ten jin of Pure Source, and pressed it into the hands of the junior brother, who was older than him, refusing to take no for an answer.

"How could I take your book for nothing? This bit of Source is not worth mentioning; don't think it's too little."

"It's plenty!"

The junior brother took the ten jin of Source. Faced with such a large amount of Pure Source, he appeared overjoyed on the surface, but inwardly, he felt regret that he hadn't managed to build a deeper connection with Fang Yang.

Fang Yang had a bright future ahead of him, and he naturally did not think that a mere book could earn him the other's favor.

However, this favor of a book could deter petty individuals and avoid a lot of trouble.

Now that the transaction was complete, he naturally could not go around boasting about today's events to wrap himself in the prestige of another.

Fang Yang took the Yaoguang Secret Chronicles and began flipping through it as he walked toward the corresponding domain gate.

He presented his candidate Saint Son token.

The person responsible for activating the domain gate took out a piece of Pure Source himself to serve as the energy required for the gate.

Of course, this was not out of his own pocket; he could be reimbursed by the Hall of Miscellaneous Affairs afterward.

Fang Yang stepped into the domain gate.

Back when Li Daoming had brought him and Weiwei to Yao Guang Sacred Land, he had already experienced this method of teleportation, so he felt neither surprise nor panic.

Mystic light soared into the sky.

Fang Yang arrived at the next stop, then asked the domain gate guard again about the route to the next destination.

After repeating this several times, he finally arrived at a domain gate belonging to Yao Guang Sacred Land located in the Southern Region.

This was a city garrisoned by Yao Guang Sacred Land.

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

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

"Greetings, candidate Saint Son!"

The city lord stationed in this city was an exiled manager of Yao Guang Sacred Land, over three hundred years old, with cultivation in the Four Extremities Secret Realm.

Upon learning of Fang Yang's arrival, he rushed over and, at his request, began to introduce the major events that had recently occurred in the vicinity.

"The future God King of the Ji Family, carrying the Extreme Emperor Weapon Void Mirror, intended to seize the Green Emperor's imperial weapon, but Yan Ruyu escaped, and he missed his chance in regret."
