Invasion of the Heavens from Eternal Life

Chapter 116: Mountain and River Ranking Competition

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

During this month, Fang Han did not go out, but chose to condense his qi and accumulate magical energy in his own mountain palace.

Fang Han's magical power for condensing his inner qi is the Great Five Elements Technique, one of the Three Thousand Great Daos. Each strand of inner qi is comparable to the inner qi condensed from ten supreme magical powers, a hundred great magical powers, or a thousand minor magical powers. The condensation of mana inner qi requires the consumption of one's own energy. The higher the quality of the inner qi, the more of the primordial energy of heaven and earth and one's own energy are consumed.

This means that when he condenses a stream of qi, the energy he consumes is ten times that of a cultivator at the same level who practices supreme supernatural powers, a hundred times that of a cultivator who practices great supernatural powers, and a thousand times that of a cultivator who practices minor supernatural powers.

Such horrific mental consumption, if Fang Han had not practiced the "Past Amitabha Sutra" that could restore his spirit, and had not devoted a thought to practicing it all the time, if it were not for his special and strong physique that could restore the huge amount of lost spirit every day, if it were not for his comprehension of the Five Elements cycle and his ability to absorb the almost endless power of the Five Elements between heaven and earth, then his speed in condensing magic power would have been much slower than that of the cultivators of the same level.

After all, spirit and vitality are both indispensable for condensing magical energy. If one of them is lacking, it will be impossible to condense magical energy.

During this period, Fang Han also used the "Worldly Freedom Talisman" to go to the Land of Five Elements, but something seemed to have happened in the Land of Five Elements. The five elements monsters had become extinct, and the Demon Lord Chiyuan did not appear.

Now, Fang Han recovers about 100,000 spiritual points every day. If he wants to reach the upper limit of 100 billion units, it will take more than 2,700 years if there is an accident.

Just like filling a tank with water, the larger the tank, the longer it takes to fill it.

The quality of his qi is too high, and ordinary pills that increase magic power have almost no effect on him. Perhaps only those immortal pills will have any effect on him.

During this month, Fang Han's condensed Five Emperors' Qi increased by another three million. His current Five Emperors' Qi totaled more than 137 million. Although it was still a long way from the 100 billion limit, his progress was not slow.

Fang Han had a vague feeling that only when he reached the upper limit of his own magical power could he continue to break through to a higher level.

For him, his special physique means both infinite possibilities and seemingly infinite restrictions.

However, there is also good news. The amount of spiritual energy absorbed by Fang Han's World Tree clone from the fairyland, in addition to the amount absorbed and grown by itself, the remaining amount can be used by Fang Han to condense nearly a thousand human-grade Nascent Soul Pills every day. The quality and effect of these pills are even more than ten times higher than those of Taiyi Sect's pills.

The method of refining the Yuanying Pill was obtained by Fang Han from the treasure bags of Yao Dian and the other two people he killed.

The refining of all elixirs is essentially a combination of various spiritual energies. The function of the alchemy furnace is to purify the spiritual energy in the medicinal materials, and Fang Han's world tree clone can absorb and filter the spiritual energy of the fairyland. This function is equivalent to the most advanced natural alchemy furnace, and it can naturally refine the highest quality Nascent Soul Pills, which can also be said to be super-grade Nascent Soul Pills.

In a month, Fang Han had accumulated 30,000 super-grade Nascent Soul Pills. These pills strengthen the body's essence, allowing the cultivator's blood and essence to form an egg, continuously condensing and rapidly transforming. They are considered the highest form of nourishment for cultivators, but refining them is extremely complex. However, Fang Han had skipped the most cumbersome step and directly refined them into a pill, a truly superior elixir. This, in a sense, opened up a new path to wealth.

The Big Blue Pill, one of which is made from the spirit contained in an adult demon, can double the spiritual power of a disciple at the tenth level of the Divine Transformation Realm.

The super-grade Nascent Soul Pill refined by Fang Han has the same effect of strengthening the body and replenishing the vital energy as a thousand Biluo Pills.

You can imagine how precious a super-grade Nascent Soul Pill is.

In addition, if there are other methods of refining elixirs, Fang Han can also use the spiritual energy accumulated by the World Tree clone to refine other different elixirs.

Fang Han was not stingy with his friends. Whether it was Princess Hongyi, Fang Qiang, or Fairy He, Fang Han gave them ten super-grade Nascent Soul Pills.

As for Fang Qingxue, Fang Han also gave her a hundred super-grade Nascent Soul Pills that he had refined.

Why did he befriend Fang Qingxue, a woman of destiny? On the one hand, Fang Qingxue was a "benefactor" to him, and on the other hand, in the original novel, Fang Qingxue possessed the cultivation method of the "Minor Fate Art." Fang Han thought that with his unique background, he might also be able to learn the supreme supernatural power derived from this "Great Fate Art," the first of the Three Thousand Great Daos.

In addition, Fang Han also has a lot of good feelings towards Fang Qingxue.

Today is the day for the Yuhua Sect Mountain and River Competition.

“Dang!” “Dang!” “Dang!”.
It was winter now, and amidst the heavy snow, the bells of Yuhua Gate began to ring.

The melodious and soothing sound of the bell emanated from the "Mountain and River Academy," summoning the inner and outer disciples. The Mountain and River Tournament was a competition among inner disciples. While outer disciples were not eligible to participate, they could still watch and learn from the battle experience.

As for the Mountain and River Competition, some true disciples also came to watch, because some inner disciples might be members of forces founded by some true disciples, and some true disciples wanted to see if there were any good talents among the inner disciples who could be won over.

In the center of the Mountain and River Academy was a vast field, several miles in radius, with the Mountain and River List hung high above. Many disciples, ranging in groups of three or five, were heading there. Their cultivation ranged from the seventh level of the Physical Secret Realm to the peak of the tenth level of the Physical Divine Transformation, and they discussed as they walked.

"I heard that the rewards for the sects in this revision of the Mountain and River Ranking are extremely generous. Not only are there high-quality treasures, but there are also many powerful spiritual weapons. It is even rumored that the champion will receive a Yin-Yang Longevity Pill as a reward. I wonder who will get it?" said a tall inner disciple wearing a water and fire Taoist robe.

"The Immortal Assembly that the ten sects of the Immortal Path hold once every sixty years is still in three years. I guess the sects want to have more inner disciples who can inherit magical powers, so they increased the rewards~" His companion who knew the inside story spoke up.

"It's a pity that Senior Brother Fang Han has become a true disciple, otherwise he would definitely be the first in this Mountain and River Competition!" Someone on the road also said.

"Indeed, Senior Brother Fang was able to independently kill the 'Red Prince' during the outer sect assessment, and he was also able to kill many demons. His strength is already unfathomable. Even Senior Sister Long Xuan, who has won the Mountain and River Ranking three times in a row, is difficult to match him."

"I heard that Senior Sister Long Xuan has joined the 'Samsara Peak' where Senior Brother Fang is. I wonder if it's true?" A female disciple asked enviously.

"It should be true!"

Fang Han did not participate in the Shanhe list because he had become a true disciple of Yuhua Sect a month ago and had reported to the inner and outer sects that he had lost the qualification to participate in the Shanhe competition.

But to him, it doesn't matter.

However, he had different ideas about being number one on the Mountain and River List.

In the original novel, "Fang Lao Mo" relied on his supernatural powers to suppress Ye Nantian, who possessed the "Eight Desolate Divine Sword" and "Rashomon", and won first place. The "Rashomon" in Ye Nantian's hand is also the weapon of "Nan Wanluo", one of the five true disciples.

Now that he has become a true disciple of supernatural powers, he cannot participate in the Mountain and River Competition. If Ye Nantian under "Nan Wanluo" wins the first place, Fang Han will feel uncomfortable.

So, Fang Han found "Long Xuan", the previous number one on the Mountain and River List, and invited her to join his "Reincarnation Peak", and promised to help her win the championship of the Mountain and River Competition.

When Fang Han completed his outer sect mission and came to the "Inner Immortal Courtyard", the woman in yellow he first met and shocked was Long Xuan.

At that time, Long Xuan was already an important figure in the Jialan Club founded by "Xi Jialan". Under normal circumstances, she would not easily change her allegiance, but she was somewhat shaken by the conditions proposed by Fang Han.

Long Xuan holds a deep-seated feud with Wanguixian Island, one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects. Despite being a member of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, Wanguixian Island operates with an unbridled dominance, wielding the slogan of slaying demons and monsters at sea to persecute dissidents. Any cultivator or faction that defies their will is captured and enslaved, and countless factions have been annihilated. Her family, a deep-sea human dragon, resides on the remote Xilong Island. Later, Wanguixian Island compelled them to submit, and any opposition to their lineage was slain and their bloodlines extracted.

Determined to break through to the realm of supernatural powers and quickly avenge her grievances, Long Xuan ultimately rejected Jia Lan's entreaties and joined Fang Han's Samsara Peak, becoming the first inner disciple to join. Fang Han generously gifted Long Xuan with ten Nascent Soul Pills and a hundred Biluo Pills upon her arrival, aiming to help her quickly achieve supernatural powers. Furthermore, before the Mountain and River Tournament, Fang Han lent Long Xuan the "True God's Bowl," a top-grade artifact he had acquired from the Yangshen World. With this supremely precious magical weapon, Long Xuan's victory in the battle was assured.

Fang Han still had three top-grade treasures he had obtained from Yao Dian and the other two. However, because the matter was of great importance, and in order to prevent being caught by the Taiyi Sect, Fang Han did not lend them to Long Xuan.

In addition to Long Xuan, Princess Hongyi was also invited by Fang Han to join the "Samsara Peak".

Princess Hongyi's mother was a disciple of the Yuhua Sect, but she was murdered by someone else. She joined the Yuhua Sect hoping to break through her magical powers and avenge her mother. She was also a friend of Fang Han, so Fang Han naturally offered her a helping hand.

A huge crowd surged into the Shanhe Academy, a dense mass of people, some participating in the competition, and some coming to watch the excitement. Although there were many disciples, they all had their own seats, so it didn't seem too crowded.

There are already many fighting arenas in Shanhe Academy for the inner disciples who want to participate in the competition.

In the very center of the Shanhe Courtyard, there was a huge yellow board hanging, about several dozen feet long, emitting tremendous magical power, with three large golden characters "Shanhe List" written on it.

At this moment, there are ten huge names on the Mountain and River List, among which Long Xuan ranks first, which is also the ranking of the last Mountain and River List.

Finally, the ringing bell stopped, and Shanheyuan fell into complete silence.

An elder with white hair and a youthful face, at the Celestial Realm, stood up and said, "The Mountain and River Ranking is a competition among the most outstanding inner disciples of our Yuhua Sect. You must show your true strength. The sect will not hesitate to cultivate outstanding disciples, so do not pretend. The rewards this time are very generous. As long as you perform well, even if you are not in the top ten, you will most likely receive a considerable reward. Now, I declare the competition to begin~"

After the celestial elder finished speaking, he retreated behind the scenes. Afterwards, many "half-elders" at the peak of the divine transformation realm came up from the stage and began to preside over the competitions on each stage, reminding the inner disciples who were competing to go on stage.

Because a large number of people were promoted to inner disciples in the last inner sect assessment, there are as many as two thousand inner disciples participating in the Mountain and River Ranking Competition this time, nearly double the number than before.

Nearly one-tenth of the inner disciples are at the Divine Transformation Realm. Each of these disciples who take the test has a strong physique and a concentrated spirit, far beyond the reach of ordinary Divine Transformation cultivators.

In the stands, many true disciples had already arrived, earning the envy and respect of many inner and outer disciples. Each of these true disciples possessed immense magical powers, and were the "great figures" they admired and pursued.

Many female disciples couldn't help but fix their gaze on a sixteen-year-old boy among the many True Disciple disciples, their eyes lighting up. The young man, dressed in black, exuded an extraordinary demeanor, his clothes embroidered with delicate gold embroidery. His sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, his upright posture, and his masculine and handsome features left a deep impression on everyone. "Is this Senior Brother Fang Han? He's so handsome!"

"Ahhh! Senior Brother Fang is looking at me!"

"I will compete well in this competition and try to get Brother Fang's attention."

Seeing the young man's cold expression, many female disciples blushed and became infatuated with him.

There are now 109 true disciples in Yuhua Sect, and more than 30 of them are present, including "Dong Lingxiao" and "Xi Jialan", two of the five true disciples, and of course Fang Han is also among them.

The purpose of his coming was, on the one hand, to see if there were any good talents in this competition, and on the other hand, to cheer for Long Xuan and Princess Hongyi.

Of the five true disciples of the Yuhua Sect, the most powerful is undoubtedly Hua Tiandu, who has reached the tenth level of supernatural power. Next in line are Jia Lan, Ling Xiao, Wan Luo, and Feng Yaoguang, all at the Celestial Being or Guiyi realms. Although Fang Han is only at the third level of the Mystical Realm of Supernatural Power, his terrifying combat power is such that even Hua Tiandu, at the tenth level, might not be his match.

Fang Han's arrival also attracted the attention of many true disciples, some of whom were kind, some were jealous, and so on, with many other emotions.

"Fang Han, I really don't know what kind of magic potion you gave Long Xuan. She actually quit my 'Jialan Society' and insisted on entering your Samsara Palace?"

Jia Lan spoke first, his tone sounding a bit blaming.

Long Xuan is an important backbone of the Jialan Club, but she was poached by Fang Han, which made Jialan feel a little unhappy.

"Haha! Jia Lan, I promise to help her break through the realm of magical powers. I also believe that you are aware that Long Xuan has a deep blood feud. I can help her avenge her in the future~"

Fang Han said lightly.

The true disciples of the Yuhua Sect usually call each other by their names.

"are you serious?"

Jia Lan was stunned. Although she had once assured Long Xuan that she would seek justice for her from Wangui Xiandao in the future, she had to wait until her own cultivation was strong enough. Currently, she was only at the peak of the fifth level of the Divine Power Secret Realm, the Heavenly Human Realm, and nowhere near the Longevity Secret Realm. Helping Long Xuan get justice was practically impossible. Furthermore, even she wasn't sure she could help Long Xuan break through the Divine Power Secret Realm.

"nature."

Fang Han said, then looked towards the field.

At this moment, the competition has reached the third round. In the end, Long Xuan was unexpectedly matched with Ye Nantian. There was no suspense. Long Xuan herself possessed a treasure that was refined from an ice dragon in the eye of the North Sea. It could swallow and spit out ice soul thunder. She also possessed a special treasure "Golden Hoop" and the top-grade treasure "Bowl of True God". She defeated Ye Nantian and others very easily.

The Shanhe Ranking Competition was held until the evening, and in the end, Long Xuan won the Shanhe Competition championship for the fourth time.

The reward for the first place in this Mountain and River Competition was a top-grade elixir, the Yin-Yang Longevity Pill, and a mid-grade treasure, the Golden Light Fiery Mirror, which was also taken by Long Xuan.

As for Princess Hongyi, because her weapon was re-refined by Fang Han to the level of a top-grade spiritual weapon, she also achieved a good result of fifth place and won a top-grade spiritual weapon robe.

The first and fifth on the Mountain and River List were both from the "Samsara Peak", which once again caused the name "Fang Han" to spark heated discussions among many inner and outer disciples.

After taking control of Samsara Peak, Fang Han bought more than a thousand slaves of the fifth level of divine power in the Great Xuan Empire, both men and women, to take care of and harvest the various spiritual medicines on Samsara Peak, as well as to raise spiritual beasts, etc.

In addition, Fang Han also bought four female slaves who were at the tenth level of divine transformation in the physical body, and named them Chunlan, Xiahe, Qiuju, and Dongmei, to manage the Samsara Peak.

These four female slaves were the daughters of some princes and nobles of the Great Xuan Empire who had committed serious crimes. Each of them was beautiful and delicate, and could be called beauties of their generation. Fang Han gave them a second life.

In addition, Fairy Crane and her sisters often come to visit Samsara Peak and are considered the "VIPs" of Samsara Peak.

Therefore, Samsara Peak gradually became lively.

After the Mountain and River Tournament ended, all the disciples returned home. Fang Han also said goodbye to Jia Lan and brought Long Xuan and Princess Hongyi to the Samsara Peak.

The Samsara Hall is located in the center of the Samsara Peak.

At this moment, Fang Han was sitting on the main seat, and next to him was the tall Long Xuan, who was wearing a goose yellow dress, and the beautiful girl Princess Hongyi, who was wearing a bright red dress and a pearl jade hairpin on her head.

After the game, both of them were still a little excited.

Especially Long Xuan, her savings are already enough, and she only needs one "Yin Yang Longevity Pill" to quickly break through the realm of magical powers.

"Long Xuan, you're quite good. You defeated many rivals in this Mountain and River Tournament and won fame and respect for our Samsara Peak. Here's a gourd of 100 Yuanying Pills and a gourd of 1,000 Biluo Pills. I hope you can enter the realm of magical powers soon."

Then, Fang Han waved his hand, and two one-foot-long top-grade magic gourds, one green and one yellow, appeared out of thin air and flew into Long Xuan's hands.

He can already refine magical weapons at will.

He currently earns a thousand super-grade Nascent Soul Pills daily, along with nearly three thousand ordinary Nascent Soul Pills from Yao Dian and the other two. Furthermore, Fang Han possesses a massive Biluo Pill, worth a staggering 2.3 billion; three thousand human-grade, top-grade, life-extending Golden Pills; three earth-grade, top-grade, Crazy Demon Longevity Pills; and three Yin-Yang Longevity Pills.

As for the Life-Extending Golden Elixir and the Nascent Soul Elixir, they can be used as food by the cultivators in the Secret Realm of Divine Powers.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Fang!"

Long Xuan took the magic gourd and said happily.

Even if one breaks through the realm of magical powers and becomes a true disciple, one still needs to eat. In the realm of magical powers, what one eats is not grains but various elixirs.

Unless one reaches the secret realm of immortality, one can live by "eating air" without taking elixirs.

When she first met Fang Han, Long Xuan sensed his extraordinaryness. Now that he had become a true disciple of supernatural powers, and she had also become a part of his true disciple mountain, it could be said that she had gained a great fortune.

"Father, mother, and all the clansmen, when I become strong in the future, I will definitely destroy Wanguixian Island and avenge you!" Long Xuan swore secretly in her heart.

"Senior Brother Fang, what about me?" Princess Hongyi asked eagerly.

It is really better to hold on to your thighs than to practice hard. For the strong Fang Han, Princess Hongyi feels that this is the luckiest thing in the world.

After all, if it weren't for Fang Han, she might just be an ordinary outer disciple now. Even if she was lucky enough to become an inner disciple, she would definitely not be able to make it onto the Mountain and River List. Fang Han can be said to have been "kind of recognition and support" to her.

Her current life was something she could never have imagined.

"Haha~ You have some too. Here's a gourd of ten Nascent Soul Pills and a gourd of a hundred Big Blue Skies Pills. I hope you can break through the Divine Power Realm soon and become my True Disciple of Feathered Transformation~"

Fang Han said, and with a flip of his hand, two more gourds flew into Princess Hongyi's hands.

"Hehe~ Thank you, Brother Fang!"

Princess Hongyi's eyes narrowed into crescents.

Afterwards, Fang Han encouraged the two of them again and let them go back.

After Long Xuan and Princess Hongyi, Fang Han decided to enter the world of Shrouding the Sky again.

His mind moved slightly, and his figure disappeared in an instant.

On the same day of the Mountain and River Competition, undercurrents were surging in the outside world. A video of a disciple of Yuhua Sect killing three true disciples of Taiyi Sect was accidentally discovered by a disciple of Taiyi Sect. After careful identification and verification, it was discovered that this person was "Fang Han", the most popular true disciple of Yuhua Sect.

The top leaders of Taiyi Sect were furious and wanted to demand justice from Yuhua Sect. However, all this had nothing to do with Fang Han for the time being.
