Invasion of the Heavens from Eternal Life

Chapter 111: Seizing the Tripod to Deter, Storm Rising
The cultivation methods of the Xuanhuang World are not widely available. Only the ten great immortal sects, the seven schools of the demonic path, and the five lines of the demonic path possess relatively comprehensive methods. Cultivation methods beyond the realm of divine powers are generally only recorded by major sects and ancient texts. Even if ordinary independent cultivators are lucky enough to encounter the realm of divine powers, they have no chance of further cultivation to the realm of true qi. No matter how much mana they accumulate, they will always be stuck at the first level of the realm of divine powers.

The next day, the South China Sea area.

The sky is an endless blue, which is also the color of the sea. Occasionally there are a few white clouds floating around, and many seabirds are flying around, catching sea fish.

The sea breeze howled, bringing with it waves of fishy and salty smells.

Wow~
This is the sound of sea water hitting the rocks.

About ten feet above a long canyon, there was a young Taoist priest wearing a water and fire Taoist robe sitting on a Dharma carpet. He had red lips and white teeth and was extremely handsome. At this moment, he was staring at the black abyss in the center of the canyon, as if he was thinking about something.

After killing the Water Gu Demon King and leaving the Thunder Emperor's Cave, Fang Han did not go directly to the Yuhua Gate, but came to this canyon.

This canyon is called "Evil Ghost Gorge". It is hundreds of miles long, with hideous reefs and dangerous rapids. It is filled with a murderous aura and fierce energy, which makes people afraid to see it.

"This is the Evil Ghost Gorge. The lair of the Lord of Death Island, one of the Forty Great Thieves, is here. In the original novel, he has a top-grade treasure in his hand, the 'Five Hells King Cauldron', which was left by a demon king named Five Hells. It should not be missed~" Fang Han said secretly.

The Forty Greatest Bandits of Overseas, most of whom came from major sects, committed numerous evil deeds and were eventually expelled from their sects. They then became powerful and committed numerous crimes overseas. Wangui Xiandao, one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, recently issued its most severe hunting order against the Forty Great Bandits, calling on independent cultivators across the ocean to launch a campaign against them.

Although Fang Han could refine magical instruments, he couldn't refine spiritual instruments or even treasure instruments, and he didn't have many elixirs or spiritual instruments on him. The germination of the World Tree fragments also required a large amount of Six Yang Holy Water, so he needed to accumulate wealth as quickly as possible.

As the saying goes, "A man cannot become rich without unexpected wealth, and a horse cannot grow fat without night grass." Fang Han came here with the purpose of wanting a "windfall."

The Master of Jueming Island was once a disciple of the Tianjue Demon Sect, one of the Seven Sects of the Demonic Dao. Later, due to slaughtering fellow disciples and stealing magical artifacts, he was expelled from the sect and fled overseas, becoming a freelance cultivator. He possesses a top-tier treasure known as the "Five Hells King Cauldron," but his cultivation level is insufficient to refine it. Forged by a Heavenly Demon King comparable to the Water Gu Heavenly Demon King, the Five Hells King Cauldron is a supremely precious cauldron. More than just an alchemy cauldron, it can also house numerous Heavenly Demons. The more Heavenly Demons there are, the greater their power, potentially transforming them into Daoist artifacts.

Fang Han's spiritual thoughts spread out, and everything within a radius of dozens of miles came into clear view.

Finally, he set his sights on a small lake covering two to three thousand acres in the center of the canyon.

Wow~
There is a turbulent undercurrent beneath this lake, and in the center stand several huge iron-like reefs several meters high. Black fog is lingering above them, and waves crashing against them create bursts of white foam.

"Wood Emperor Palm~"

Fang Han directly activated the Wood Emperor's Qi, and millions of Wood Emperor's Qi instantly transformed into a huge green palm with a diameter of a thousand feet, and slammed down towards the lake.

Rumble~
The black mist formation was instantly shattered by the Wood Emperor's Palm. Immediately afterwards, a massive vortex appeared in the center of the lake, and the black mist dissipated, revealing a small island in the center. The island was small, barely an acre in size, and upon it stood a palace, radiating a jeweled aura. A plaque read: "Death Island, Death Palace!"
Obviously, this is the lair of the "Lord of the Death Island".

"who!!!"

At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from the palace, followed by a middle-aged man in black suddenly shooting out from the palace, looking at Fang Han with fear.

"Little kid, you actually found this place. You must be trying to fulfill the bounty on Wanguixian Island. Looks like I won't let you off today~Tiangang Fatal Hand!"

While the middle-aged man in black was speaking, he burst out with all his strength, and the internal energy in his body condensed into bird claws, which contained the meaning of destruction, breaking and crippling, and grabbed towards Fang Han.

The Lord of the Death Island is at the third level of the Secret Realm of Supernatural Powers, the Yuan Gang Realm. The Tian Gang Death Hand is also a great supernatural power of the Tian Jue Demon Sect. It is extremely vicious, with two thousand horsepower under one claw. Countless overseas cultivators and disciples of immortal sects have died at his hands.

"An ant trying to shake a tree is ridiculous and overestimating one's own abilities."

Seeing the Lord of the Death Island attacking him, Fang Han sneered, and the huge hand condensed from millions of strands of Wood Emperor's true energy fell down with his mind.

The force of millions of galloping horses broke all of its internal energy in an instant and crushed it to death.

After gathering his true energy, Fang Han landed inside the palace. The palace was adorned with a dazzling array of jewels, gold, and other items, appearing resplendent and luxurious. However, to a cultivator in the realm of divine power, these jewels and gold were like tiny grains of sand, offering no real value.

In a hidden alchemy room, Fang Han found a furnace the size of a house. The furnace glowed faintly, and a rough estimate revealed it weighed a full million jin.

Obviously, this is the "Five Hells King Cauldron".

The alchemy furnace is the rarest type of treasure among many types of treasures, and can even be used as a defensive treasure.

Among the 108 true disciples of Yuhua Sect, most of their alchemy furnaces are just spiritual tools. Only the five true disciples and several other true disciples with advanced cultivation have treasure-level alchemy furnaces.

It can be said that just this top-level treasure, the Five Hells King Cauldron, may not be bought even with tens of millions of Baiyang Pills, so you can imagine how precious it is.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Han used his true energy to refine the alchemy furnace directly and put it into the Qiankun cloth bag.

"Leave the furnace behind!!!"

At this moment, a loud shout was heard from a distance, and a group of more than ten people came over.

The leader was a young Taoist with a gloomy look wearing a robe passed down from the Yuhua Sect. His cultivation level was the first level of the magical realm, but he had already reached the late stage of the magical realm, and that's when he spoke.

Behind the Yin Yi Taoist priest were five middle-aged men, radiating magical energy but lacking any magical weapons, clearly independent cultivators. Fang Han was also familiar with several of them: Yuan Jiankong, the "Silver Snake Sword" disciple of the Yuhua Sect, ranked tenth on the Mountain and River Ranking; Ye Nantian, ranked third on the Mountain and River Ranking; Lin Yan, ranked third on the Mountain and River Ranking; and Xiao Shi, the young master of Buye Island. Furthermore, there were two female disciples, both of whom Fang Han was familiar with: "Senior Sister Mo," whose magical weapon Fang Han had once stolen; and Fang Qingwei, Fang Qingxue's younger sister and the second daughter of the Fang family.

"Haha! What a narrow road for enemies! The Yin-Yang Longevity Pill is destined to be mine!"

Seeing Fang Han, Xiao Shi couldn't help but sneer, and from time to time he chatted with Yuan Jiankong, Ye Nantian, Lin Yan, Senior Sister Mo and others.

Xiao Shi once wanted to exchange the Yin Yang Wanshou Pill in Fang Han's hand, but was harshly rejected. This also made Xiao Shi bear a grudge. However, Fang Han was too powerful, so he did not dare to act rashly. However, he never expected to meet him today in the Evil Ghost Gorge.

Now, the island owners of the magical secret realms of the five islands, namely, Buye Island, Hanging Island, Turtle Island, Lingzhu Island, and Yuhua Island, are all here and have formed an alliance, which also gives Xiao Shi confidence.

As if he had thought of something, Xiao Shi whispered something to his father Xiao Buye, glancing at Fang Han from time to time.

"Fang Han! It's you!"

Fang Qingwei's eyes lit up and she spoke, but she didn't expect to meet Fang Han here.

"Ah."

Fang Han nodded slightly.

Fang Qingwei's cultivation had reached the pinnacle of divine transformation, and she possessed the strength of thirteen galloping horses. Her progress was remarkable. In her hand, she held a golden gourd, radiating the brilliance of a treasure.

Seeing Fang Han's seeming indifference, Fang Qingwei felt a mixture of emotions. In the secular world, she was the daughter of a provincial governor, a figure above all others. This man, however, was merely a horse-keeper in the Fang family, a lowly figure in the extreme. After entering the Yuhua Sect, Fang Qingwei, relying on her status as Fang Qingxue's sister, had become renowned both within and outside the sect, earning her the admiration of countless disciples. However, this horse-keeper, whom she had never looked down upon, had somehow found opportunity and, in a short time, became an inner disciple of the Yuhua Sect. Like herself, he possessed formidable combat prowess, rivaling even those on the Mountain and River Rankings. It was as if a beggar, never looked down upon, had suddenly transformed into a billionaire in the space of a single month. This was difficult for Fang Qingwei to accept, and so that same day, she belittled Fang Han, only to be lectured by him.

Later, news reached Fang Qingwei that Wanguixian Island, one of the ten great immortal sects, had issued a wanted order for the Forty Thieves. At the invitation of Xiao Shi, the "Young Master of Nevernight Island," Fang Qingwei, along with several inner disciples, including Ye Nantian, Lin Yan, Senior Sister Mo, and Yuan Jiankong, decided to journey to Evil Ghost Gorge to jointly slay the "Lord of Death Island." After a month and a half of training, Fang Qingwei's cultivation progressed rapidly, reaching the realm of Divine Transformation. Prior to this journey, he had befriended the first true disciple, Hua Tiandu, and received a Pure Yang artifact from him.

"Boy, I see you're wearing the robes of an inner disciple of the Yuhua Sect. You must have been recently promoted. You actually stole the Five Hells King Cauldron. This is a huge contribution to our Yuhua Sect. Let's hand it over to the sect together. If we hadn't sealed off the Evil Ghost Gorge and stopped the Lord of Jueming Island, you probably wouldn't have been able to obtain this magic weapon. According to the sect's rules, if multiple people jointly obtain a magic weapon, they must hand it over for the sect to judge."

The gloomy young man asked, looking at the Qiankun cloth bag in Fang Han's hand with a greedy expression. He thought to himself, "This person's cloth bag can actually put the Five Hell King Cauldron inside. There must be another Qiankun inside, or a Taoist artifact! If I can obtain this magic weapon, I will definitely be able to break through to the heavenly realm, or even a higher realm! Now that the master of Jueming Island should not have arrived yet, his lair has been robbed. How ridiculous~ Hahaha!"

The gloomy young man did not see the scene where Fang Han killed the master of the Death Island, otherwise he would never dare to speak so arrogantly.

"Who is this?"

Looking at Fang Qingwei, Fang Han was puzzled.

"This is Senior Brother Cang Baizi, one of the true disciples of Yuhua Sect. Fang Han, I hope you can consider Senior Brother Cang's words carefully."

Fang Qingwei advised.

In her opinion, although Fang Han was powerful, he had not yet broken through the secret realm of magical powers. If he offended Cang Baizi, the consequences would be unpredictable.

Ye Nantian, Yuan Jiankong, Lin Yan, and Senior Sister Mo just watched coldly.

Although they knew of this "Fang Han" who had made a big splash in the Demonic Battlefield, they had never seen him take action in person.

If he was truly as powerful as the other disciples claimed, he would be a formidable opponent in their quest for the Mountain and River Ranking. Xiao Buye and the others watched this scene quietly. As independent cultivators from a smaller sect, they naturally had no reason to get involved in the internal strife among the Yuhua Sect disciples.

"What are you considering? Fang Qingwei, you are so self-righteous and nosy. I don't need your advice on what I should consider. Cang Baizi, right? So what if you are a true disciple? You are just at the level of magic power. With only the magic power of a hundred horses, you dare to seize my magic weapon. If you and I were not both disciples of Yuhua, do you think you would still be alive now?" Fang Han said coldly.

"You, you, you! How outrageous!"

Seeing Fang Han's sharp words and not giving himself any face as a true disciple, Cang Baizi couldn't help but look furious.

"Fang Han, how can you say that? After all, Senior Brother Cang is doing this for your own good."

Fang Qingwei also looked unhappy. She found it very difficult to accept being criticized in such a way despite her good intentions, and she couldn't help but feel even more disgusted with Fang Han.

"Hmm? Interesting! Who do you think you are? You're doing this for my own good, I don't need you. I hope you won't make mistakes in the future. If you continue to pester me, don't blame me for disregarding our fellow disciples' friendship!"

Fang Han's eyes swept lightly across everyone, as if the peerless Demon Emperor was watching him.

At this moment, Cang Baizi and others felt like they were a small boat in a stormy sea, or like there was a mountain above their heads, as if they were about to be suffocated by this majesty at any time.

They couldn't help but look at Fang Han with red faces and expressions of horror.

Xiao Buye and others were even more overwhelmed and instinctively felt extremely frightened.

"Hehe~ How can a summer insect talk about ice~"

Seeing the crowd's unwillingness to bear it, Fang Han shook his head, summoned the Blood God Carpet, and vanished from sight in an instant. With his cultivation, he could crush these people with a single thought. After all, they were fellow disciples, so Fang Han didn't bother to attack them. However, if these people continued to jump around and provoke him, Fang Han wouldn't mind crushing them to death.

"Huh~ How could this person be so terrifying!"

"very scary!"

"This person actually killed the Lord of Jueming Island. I'm afraid he has already reached the realm of supernatural powers. He may even have reached a very high level in the supernatural power realm. Don't provoke him!"
It was not until Fang Han left that these elite inner disciples of the Yuhua Sect and the five independent sect leaders were able to get rid of the feeling of suffocation. They took deep breaths and looked at each other in horror.

In their eyes, Fang Han was like an ancient Tyrannosaurus Rex, and they and the others were even like little lambs. How could they have the courage to continue to provoke him?

"My son Xiao Shi, this boy is vicious. Don't make an enemy of him in the future. Otherwise, I won't have you as my son!"

Xiao Buye sternly warned his son.

He understood the other person's eyes, which were a look of control and indifference to everything!

Although he could be considered a great hero, he still had to submit to absolute power. In Xiao Buye's opinion, if he lost his son, he could have another one, but if he died, that would be unacceptable.

"The majesty of this man is probably comparable to that of Senior Brother Hua! How is this possible!!!" Senior Sister Mo looked horrified. She had seen the power of Hua Tiandu when he was angry, and it was no more than this.

After a long time, these people finally calmed down. Cang Baizi, Xiao Buye and others searched the Jueming Palace again before leaving.

After Cang Baizi, Xiao Buye and everyone else left, a wave flashed in the void, and then eight people wearing Bagua purple gold Taoist robes emerged, revealing their figures, both men and women.

Although these cultivators have not entered the secret realm of magical powers, they all have magical weapons and spiritual tools shining on them, and they are obviously disciples of major sects.

This kind of Bagua purple gold Taoist robe can only be worn by the inner disciples of Taiyi Dao Sect, which ranks first among the ten major immortal sects.

"Brother Zhang Wei, the master of Jueming Island has been killed by a true disciple of Yuhua Sect named Fang Han. What should we do now?"

One of the disciples asked the leading young man.

"Hmph! I didn't expect someone to kill the Jueming Island Master mid-flight. This Yuhua True Disciple is truly formidable. If I didn't have the Heaven-Escaped Treasure Talisman, we might have been exposed. I just checked, and the Jueming Island Master's alchemy furnace is the Five Hells King Cauldron, left behind by the Five Hells Heavenly Demon King eight hundred years ago. It has the potential to transform into a Daoist artifact. This matter is of great importance, and we need to report it immediately to the three True Disciple Brothers, Yao Dian, Xia You, and Yu Fen, to stop this person."

The Taiyi Taoist disciple named "Senior Brother Zhang" said coldly with a stern expression.

This time, Wanguixian Island offered a reward for forty thieves, and some true disciples of Taiyi Dao Sect as well as outer and inner disciples also participated.

The thieves ranked 39th and 40th have been killed by the true disciples of Taiyi Dao Sect.

Zhang Wei and his companions had originally planned to jointly unleash the "Eight Trigrams Mysterious Heaven Formation" to seize the opportunity after the Five Islands Alliance and the Jueming Island Master fought fiercely. Unfortunately, Fang Han's appearance deterred them from acting rashly. However, the Taiyi Sect's high status had fostered a condescending mentality among many of its disciples. As an inner disciple of the Taiyi Sect, Zhang Wei naturally could not tolerate this.

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a golden talisman from his arms. Flames appeared on his fingertips, and the golden talisman was ignited, turning into a small golden arrow that rushed into the sky and disappeared.
