Ascension

"This is the power of the ' Molten Edge Flow ' Divine Ability ability recorded in the ' Crimson Firmament Liberation by Violence Manual '!"

Fang Yu murmured, sensing the scene he had witnessed in that instant. It appeared to be the growth path of a disciple, from a blacksmith to a Purple Mansion True Person in alchemy, talismans, arrays, and artifacts.

Its Molten Edge Flow Divine Ability can refine all kinds of 'external pills', whether they are metals, spirit medicine, or flesh and blood, or ghosts and soldiers. This is a Divine Ability of the Fire and Thunder Daoist lineage of Mount Longhu.

After Fang Yu personally experienced all of this, he understood the methods for further cultivation of the ' Molten Edge Flow ' and the way to accumulate Dao Attainment.

These are all feelings, which cannot be expressed in words. If they were recorded in a book, many details would be lost.

Just like... just like the "Eight Desolations Spirit-Illuminating Scripture" that he had obtained from Embroidered Tiger before. Although it contained detailed records, he only knew what it was, but not why it was so.

Therefore, this is the true method of inheritance for the True Disciple of the Golden Core sect, not the kind of textual cultivation Cultivation Method that requires comprehension, contemplation, guessing, and verification.

Instead, it's about direct indoctrination.

"Instill!"

Fang Yu suddenly stood up, his brows furrowing:

Was the infusion of the Heavenly Dao during my tribulation of lightning similar? Is this Heavenly Dao truly the Heavenly Dao?

Or is it like the "Crimson Firmament Liberation by Violence Manual," a kind of inheritance, where Zhang Daochang and Feng Yi each stole a bolt of heavenly lightning from me, vying for an opportunity to question the heavens?

Fang Yu recalled the insights he had gained from the Heavenly Dao's infusion of cultivation Cultivation Method, and wondered if the Heavenly Dao was also a disguised form of some super sect.

Just like when he guided Zhao Heming and other reincarnated true spirits to enter the Dao,

Are there any pitfalls in what they claim to be?

Fang Yu pondered for a moment, then sat back down on the bed.

"I possess the Yuanchen Pearl, which can purify the cultivation Cultivation Method I practice. Even if there are indeed pitfalls, I have nothing to fear. Moreover, if the Heavenly Dao truly has a will, I am currently only a minor Dao Foundation; it shouldn't be targeting me specifically, right?"

Moreover, Zhang Daochang and Feng Yi are both True Disciple of the Golden Core sect, so they definitely know more secrets than I do. They're both eager to be struck by lightning, so even if there's a pitfall, it's not meant for them. The benefits should outweigh the drawbacks."

"Call..."

Fang Yu took a deep breath, stopped his random thoughts, and banished these distracting ideas from his mind. He then began to absorb and digest the contents of the "Crimson Firmament Liberation by Violence Manual" that he had just obtained, as well as the content he had received from the Heavenly Dao.

"Once I've digested all of this, my Dao transformation will definitely see a qualitative improvement. In any case, increasing my strength is never a bad thing!"

*****

Cultivation of immortality has no time limit.

Fang Yu gained insights from his daily meditation, making progress in his Dao Attainment, Law Technique, Dao Foundation, and External Alchemy Technique, and each time he gained new understanding.

On this day, he had another realization:

"The Dao Attainment required for the transformation of the profound Dao Foundation of the Molten Edge Flow into Divine Ability is the ' External Alchemy Technique.' Whether it's alchemy, Qi Refining, talisman drawing, or array formation, all can enhance Dao Attainment."

Although I didn't obtain the "Crimson Firmament Liberation by Violence Manual" before, my actions over the years have also been a form of cultivation. In the Dao of Qi Refining, the cultivation of 'alchemy, talismans, arrays, and artifacts' also helps to improve ' External Alchemy Technique.'

Therefore, my Dao Attainment is not too far from the Dao Attainment required to elevate the ' Molten Edge Flow ' Dao Foundation to Divine Ability. I only need to raise these four arts of immortal cultivation to the fourth rank to advance to the Purple Mansion and become True Person of Dao of Qi Ingestion.

Thinking of this, Fang Yu looked in the direction of ' Ascension Immortal City '.

"Once I arrive in the Ascension Immortal City, I only need to purchase fourth-tier inheritance, practice diligently, and forge fourth-tier formations, or fourth-tier pills, talismans, and Spirit Treasure, then I can return to the Dao of Qi Ingestion and advance to the Purple Mansion realm."

"Buzzing..."

Suddenly, the White Deer Ship Ticket at his waist trembled slightly— the White Deer Sect's treasure ship had arrived.

*****

Fangshi Wharf.

A massive treasure ship, a kilometer long and shrouded in the spiritual light of a third-order grand array, was docked at the pier.

Fang Yu and many other passengers who had been waiting for a year boarded the ship.

Once on board, a crew member led him to his cabin, explained the necessary precautions, and then left.

Fang Yu entered the guest room and glanced around. The room was indeed small, containing only a bed, a square table, and a stool; nothing else.

Fortunately, the room had a window, allowing Fang Yu to see the scenery outside, so it wasn't too cramped.

Ten days later, the treasure ship set sail.

Fang Yu sat by the window, sipping tea and studying the "Crimson Firmament Liberation by Violence Manual" while enjoying the scenery along the way.

More than half a year passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, the treasure ship slowed down and docked in a market town.

Fang Yu then disembarked, strolled around the market, bought some local specialties, and then transformed into a streak of light, heading towards a nearby mortal kingdom.

Ten days later, he returned to the treasure ship, and the number of true spirits in his sea of consciousness had decreased by more than a million.

During the subsequent journey, whenever the treasure ship stopped for an extended period, Fang Yu would travel to the mortal kingdoms along the way to send the myriad true spirits to be reincarnated.

Of course, these true spirits are all ordinary mortal spirits without destiny, that is, without Spirit Root.

As for those true spirits with destiny, Fang Yu naturally wouldn't allow them to be reincarnated in this Great Scarlet Heaven, lest they enter the world of cultivation and thus remember their past lives.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The treasure ship sailed along, stopping frequently at various markets along the way. Cultivators disembarked and boarded, and the number of cultivators like Fang Yu heading towards the final destination Ascension Immortal City, was increasing. The largest proportion of these cultivators were Qi Refining Realm cultivators, followed by the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, and many Golden Core cultivators also frequently boarded the ship. This allowed Fang Yu to truly appreciate the prosperity of the cultivation world in the Eastern Lands.

When they passed through another market town, Fang Yu sent the last hundreds of thousands of mortal souls to be reincarnated before returning to the treasure ship.

At this moment, all that remained in his sea of consciousness were true spirits with various destinies, numbering around a thousand, a ratio of roughly one in ten thousand.

He then categorized these Spirit Root their abilities, status, experiences, and identities in their previous lives, so that they could be reincarnated in the Dao of Qi Ingestion Absorption in the future.

In the blink of an eye, several months have passed.

On this day, his ship ticket trembled slightly— the Ascension Immortal City had arrived.

Fang Yu left the room and went to the deck. Looking into the distance, he saw rows of buildings on the winding mountain ranges. From time to time, he could see huge treasure ships, cultivators riding on various flying Law Treasure, and cranes flying between the mountains.

Although this Ascension Immortal City is a city, it does not have the city walls of mortals. Instead, there is a clearly perceptible barrier, a fourth-order grand formation, which completely envelops the entire Ascension Immortal City, which covers an area of over a thousand miles.

Fang Yu Yuyao gazed at the enormous fourth-order array, a glint of light appearing in her eyes. 'I wonder who built this array. If I could get to know them, it would surely greatly benefit my understanding of Dao of Arrays.'

Lost in thought, the treasure ship arrived at a dock outside the city and slowly descended. Fang Yu and many other passengers disembarked and headed towards the Ascension Immortal City.
