Jiang Xian left the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land in Shrouding the Heavens and returned to the second-floor bedroom of his villa in Mingyue Residential Area, Jiangnan Base City.
The medicinal power of the Nine Marvels Immortal Fruit he had swallowed earlier fully dissolved during his passage between worlds. The immense life essence previously hidden deep within his flesh burst forth.
In the Shrouding the Heavens plane, this Sacred Fruit nurtured in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land was a foundational medicine that helped Ye Fan and Pang Bo improve their aptitude, open the Bitter Sea secret realm, and embark on cultivation. But under Swallowed Star's system of genetic Origin Energy, its rich life essence directly washed through and transformed the billions upon billions of cells throughout Jiang Xian's body.
Jiang Xian had originally been stuck at Advanced Student, but Origin Energy now surged wildly through his body, gathering and condensing. His physical strength and his cells' capacity soared, breaking through the Warrior and Warrior General thresholds before he stepped firmly into the Invincible War God level. Jiang Xian did not even have a Gene Origin Energy Cultivation Method.
Not only did his cultivation level and body advance, but the Immortal Medicine also nourished the essence of his soul, greatly elevating his disposition and comprehension of the Dao. His perception of the Origin Laws drifting between heaven and earth grew increasingly keen. If Jiang Xian broke through to Planetary Level, he would discover that he no longer needed long, arduous cultivation and exploration; he only needed to focus his perception to comprehend laws rapidly. He could now be called a darling of the Ten Great Laws.
This extraordinary transformation alerted-the Origin Will.
Space and time around the entire Earth instantly froze. A vast, indifferent, boundlessly immense, formless consciousness swept over Jiang Xian, the life-form that had undergone this abrupt change.
The Origin Will: What is this thing? How come I've never seen it before? Let me take a look at what's going on.
The vast, indifferent consciousness gently descended toward the second-floor balcony in Mingyue Residential Area, carefully sensing the remnants of the Shrouding the Heavens World's essence within Jiang Xian. By sensing the essence of outside worlds, the origin consciousness could continually expand the universe's limits and enrich the diversity of the Universe Origin. This benefited the Primal Universe itself as well.
There was no manifested physical form, only boundless power of rules that seeped directly into Jiang Xian's life essence.
First came changes at the cellular level. Billions upon billions of genetic chains were ordered and elevated by the power of the origin. His Life Gene Level rose steadily, finally settling at the tenfold gene level. His body's capacity, cellular vitality, and Origin Energy reserves underwent a qualitative leap, and a multicolored Origin Core covered in secret patterns appeared within him.
Immediately afterward, a dedicated lifesaving Innate Secret Technique was engraved deep within Jiang Xian's soul-[Avatar].
Using his own Origin Core as its foundation, this Innate Secret Technique could nurture three complete, independent avatars that shared his main soul. All three could cultivate, comprehend laws, and venture out for experience independently. As long as his original body and all three avatars were not destroyed together, Jiang Xian would not truly perish. The Origin Will bestowed this lifesaving trump card on Jiang Xian to prevent this being, who could bring the essence of other universes, from dying prematurely and wasting his potential value.
After bestowing its gifts, a soundless thought slowly appeared, imprinted directly in Jiang Xian's mind:
[Bring the essence of other universes, and you will receive gifts from the origin, including rewards such as law comprehension, gene level, Innate Secret Techniques, and Supreme Treasures.]
Then the Origin Will departed, and space and time on Earth returned to normal.
Jiang Xian clenched his hand, feeling the surging Origin Energy within him and his strengthened foundational essence.
The Immortal Medicine had laid his foundation, and the Will of the Original Universe had rewarded him. His body, comprehension, genes, and affinity for laws had now all transformed.
Jiang Xian knew that the Swallowed Star World had secret techniques for breaking through to Planetary Level, such as Luo Feng's Ninety-Nine Divine Tempering.
He did not know what would happen if he broke through without a secret technique.
That was why Jiang Xian had not broken straight through to Planetary Level in one go just now.
Breaking straight through to Planetary Level without a secret technique should make me a blank slate. But a blank slate like me deals high damage with his left hand and massive damage with his right. Even blank slates aren't all equal, Jiang Xian thought, rubbing his chin.
As for Moyun Star's secret techniques, Jiang Xian did not want to take Hu Yanbo as his master, so he ruled them out altogether. If it were the Original Ancestor, Jiang Xian would give it some consideration.
While Jiang Xian wrestled with his decision, in the Eternal Life World.
Fang Han had already buried Bai Haichan's body. After the burial, he immediately consumed the Nine Marvels Immortal Medicine, and upon using it, broke straight through to the tenth stage of the physical body realm, Divine Transformation.
In the Fang family now, he should already have been the strongest person apart from Fang Qingxue.
Fang Han dripped his blood onto the Yellow Springs Diagram, then took the Divine Spring out of the chat group. He poured it over the Yellow Springs Diagram.
The Divine Spring was absorbed upon touching the Yellow Springs Diagram. Fang Han saw the flood dragon in the painting open his eyes. A vast voice reached Fang Han's mind.
"Boy, what did you just pour over me? It seems to be a kind of divine water opposite to Yellow Springs Sacred Water. It's tremendously beneficial to me. Do you have any more?" asked Yan, the artifact spirit of the Yellow Springs Diagram.
Fang Han thought that it was just as Ye Fan had guessed: Divine Spring Water could awaken the artifact spirit Yan ahead of time.
Presumably, one of the two waters was yin and the other yang, producing a marvelous reaction within the Yellow Springs Diagram.
"That was the Divine Spring. I have no more; that was all I had. There might be more in the future. So, has your vital energy recovered now?" Fang Han answered Yan.
"Recovered? All I have left now is a wisp of a remnant soul. If you can get me 3,636 Pure Yang Magic Treasures, or a ton of that Divine Spring from just now, I should more or less be able to recover. As the Great Emperor's successor, find me plenty of Pure Yang Supreme Treasures or Divine Spring like today's. I'll teach you the Yellow Springs Sect's cultivation methods and make you the next Demon Sect Great Emperor," came Yan's voice.
"All right, Yan. Teach me the Five Emperors Great Demon Divine Ability," Fang Han told Yan. He had no interest whatsoever in becoming the Demon Sect Great Emperor. The promise was far too paltry. What difference was there between him, the dignified artifact spirit of the Gate of Eternal Life, becoming a Demon Sect Great Emperor and an emperor becoming a beggar?
Yan was about to refuse, but Fang Han could not yet rein in his thoughts, and Yan had only just acknowledged him as his master. He heard something he should not have heard.
The Gate of Eternal Life, which countless immortals in the heavens were searching for, had actually become his master. This was a legendary existence that would endure even when the sun and moon perished, and remain immortal even when heaven and earth decayed. As for why Yan did not doubt it? Because knowledge of the Gate of Eternal Life was simply not something ordinary people could possess. Yan was already ninety percent convinced.
So Yan changed his attitude at lightning speed, his dragon face even carrying a trace of flattery. Yan realized that Fang Han was simply the greatest backer in this world. He had to cling tightly to Fang Han.
"Yes, Master. I'll teach you the Yellow Springs Sect's supreme divine ability right away."
With that, Yan transmitted the Great Five Elements Art to Fang Han through his thoughts. The origin runes of the Great Five Elements Art passed into Fang Han's mind. Fang Han had not yet broken through to the Divine Ability secret realm, so he still could not cultivate it.
[Fang Han: "Fellow group members, I've obtained the Great Five Elements Art. I'll upload it to the group files now."]
[Fang Han uploaded a file: "Great Five Elements Art"]
[Fang Han: "Everyone, what I just uploaded is the Great Five Elements Art, also known as the Five Emperors Great Demon Divine Ability. It ranks among the foremost of the Three Thousand Great Daos and is the ultimate divine ability of the origins of heaven and earth's five elements. Once mastered, it can reverse the five elements of heaven and earth and command creation and destruction. It should count as a top-tier divine ability in any world. You can all draw on it for reference."]
[Fang Han: "The Azure Emperor Wood Sovereign Art governs vitality and creation, reshapes the body, and accelerates the growth of spirit medicines; the Red Emperor Fire Emperor Qi burns all things and refines evil energy; the White Emperor Golden Slash possesses unparalleled sharpness, piercing armor and slaying spirits; the Black Emperor Water Sovereign Fist devours ceaselessly, wearing down enemies and controlling the battlefield; the Yellow Emperor Earth Sovereign Way guards the self, stabilizes the foundation, and suppresses all things. The five elements cycle, generating life without end."]
