Trading the heavens starting from immortality

At this moment, over a hundred young men and women were standing in the plaza of the [Taxian Academy]. These young men and women were dressed in extremely gorgeous clothes, exuding an air of nobility.

Those who knew them would know that these people were all sons of governors, princesses, county princesses, princes, and so on. In the secular dynasty, none of them were people of high status.

Fang Han's arrival did not attract much attention.

His cultivation had already reached the eighth level of the Divine Might Realm of Physical Body, and he had even touched the threshold of the Spirit Realm. Dressed in brocade robes, he already appeared more dignified and imposing than these noble children.

At this moment, Fang Han waited quietly in the square, just like the others.

"This Feathered Ascension Sect doesn't even allow us to bring servants. Are we supposed to cook for ourselves after we join? If our energy is wasted on these trivial matters, what's the point of cultivation!"

One of the princes' sons complained.

"Hehe, the Feathered Immortal Sect is a sect of immortals, so we naturally don't need to worry about food after we join. In addition, the sect will also provide [Cleansing Clothes Talisman], [Dust-Avoiding Talisman], [Soul Fire Talisman]... so we don't need to worry about that."

A blue-clad woman, carrying a silver sword and exuding a broad mind, said coldly.

"Blue Moonheart, do you perhaps believe you can defeat the 'Divine Power Puppet'?"

"That's natural."

"Princess Blue Moon, those divine power puppets are not easy to defeat. Last year, two princes of our Great Xu Dynasty who had reached the 'Inner Strength Realm' were defeated by these divine power puppets..."

......

Most of the disciples who came to participate in the assessment were at the inner strength level of the seventh level of the Physical Body Secret Realm, with only a few reaching the "Divine Might" level of the eighth level of the Physical Body Realm, and none at the ninth level of the Physical Body Realm, the Spirit Connection Realm.

It was not yet time for the outer sect assessment, and the crowd was somewhat noisy.

Fang Han remained calm as he listened to their words.

These people were princesses, princes, nobles, and scions of powerful families from various dynasties and countries under the rule of the Feathered Ascension Sect. Each of them came from extraordinary backgrounds, and the resources they could mobilize in the secular world were astonishing. However, within the Feathered Ascension Sect, such disciples were at most just ordinary disciples.

After all, everyone comes from a distinguished family; who can be much more noble than whom?

Clang!

Just then, the gate of the [Taxian Academy] slowly opened, and two young Taoist priests dressed in water and fire robes came out.

"Today's outer disciple assessment is starting now. Please come in!"

One of the thin young Taoist priests spoke, while the other held a mirror to verify the identity of the person entering to participate in the assessment.

The crowd filed in, and soon everyone was inside.

Of course, these disciples who participated in the assessment had a quota for recommendation and had already registered their identities in advance.

"Huh? Why didn't you come in with us?"

Seeing that Fang Han did not enter the Step-Immortal Academy with these disciples, the young Taoist asked.

"Senior brother, I come from 'Purple Lightning Peak'. This is a letter of recommendation given to me by Senior Sister Fang. I have come here today specifically to participate in the outer disciple assessment."

Fang Han took out the handwritten letter bestowed upon him by Fang Qingxue.

He didn't have a spot for recommendation as an outer disciple, and he hadn't registered his identity in advance. Now it's like he's "jumping the queue for the assessment," and he needs to declare his identity in advance to get a spot to participate in the assessment.

"From Purple Lightning Peak? Senior Sister Fang?"

The gaunt disciple was taken aback.

Purple Lightning Peak is a mountain bestowed upon true disciples by the sect leader. Could this person have been recommended by a true disciple?

The disciple took the letter and saw that lightning flashed across it, forming eight large, ever-changing characters. This was clearly the work of a powerful expert with supernatural abilities.

"You wait here while I go and inform them."

The young Taoist priest dared not delay and hurriedly entered the courtyard with the letter in hand.

Fang Han waited in the square, and when he had nothing to do, he would repeatedly watch Fang Qingxue's display of power, never getting tired of it.

Even with his profound martial arts skills and knowledge of the many supernatural powers and spells in this world, seeing is believing, leaving him somewhat skeptical. Until now, witnessing someone use the "Great Supernatural Power - Purple Lightning Yin Thunder Blade" right before his eyes was as unbelievable as suddenly seeing a giant dragon thousands of meters long circling and flying through the clouds on a rainy day!

Fortunately, the "All-Heavens Trading Group" and the matter of time travel had already shattered Fang Han's original worldview, which could be considered as giving him a "precautionary shot" in advance. Now, seeing someone wielding lightning to launch an attack, although he felt very shocked, it was not unacceptable to Fang Han.

Tsk, our young lady is really domineering!

"The 'Purple Lightning Yin Thunder Blade,' one of the eight great supernatural powers of the Feathered Ascension Sect, is indeed powerful!"

Seeing the thunder blade between Fang Qingxue's thumbs, Fang Han thought to himself.

In the world of immortality, supernatural powers can be divided into minor supernatural powers, major supernatural powers, supreme supernatural powers, the Three Thousand Great Daos, and "immortal arts" formed by combinations of many supreme supernatural powers or the Three Thousand Great Daos.

Among them, the Three Thousand Great Daos are numerous supreme Daos flowing from the Gate of Eternal Life. Of these, the most powerful is the "Great Destiny Technique," containing all the mysteries of the Great Dao of Destiny, governing all other Daos, and is also the key to summoning the Gate of Eternal Life. However, only beings recognized by the spirit of the Gate of Eternal Life can successfully cultivate any of the Three Thousand Great Daos. It is worth noting that the Great Dao of Destiny does not flow from the Gate of Eternal Life; only 2,999 Daos flow from it.

Secondly, supreme divine power is a terrifying divine power associated with the Three Thousand Great Daos, or a divine power evolved from a part of the profound mysteries of the Three Thousand Great Daos, or a lower-level divine power of the Three Thousand Great Daos.

For example, the five supreme divine abilities in the "Five Emperors Great Demon Divine Powers"—the White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash, the Green Emperor Wood Emperor Skill, the Black Emperor Water Emperor Fist, the Red Emperor Fire Emperor Qi, and the Yellow Emperor Earth Emperor Dao—are lower-level divine abilities of the "Great Five Elements Technique" among the Three Thousand Great Daos. However, if these five supreme divine abilities are combined, they become the complete "Great Five Elements Technique".

Great supernatural power can be considered a branch of supreme supernatural power, evolving from some of the mysteries of supreme supernatural power, and its power is equally enormous.

For example, the Feathered Ascension Sect possesses eight great supernatural powers: the Purple Lightning Yin Thunder Blade, the Azure Flame Seven-Cultivation Light, the Great Freedom Profound Gold Sword Qi, the Heavenly Cold Profound Nether Force, the Heavenly Wood Great Law, the Myriad Waters Divine Technique, the Mountain Refining Form Qi, and the Nine Palaces Divine Travel Technique. These eight great supernatural powers essentially contain some of the mysteries of supreme supernatural powers and are the foundation upon which the Feathered Ascension Sect is renowned in both the immortal and demonic realms.

Of course, the most powerful divine ability of the Feathered Ascension Sect is not these eight divine abilities, but the "Vacuum Yin-Yang Dao," which is also the "Great Yin-Yang Technique" among the Three Thousand Great Daos. Although there is no distinction between high and low among the Three Thousand Great Daos, their power and mystery are different, and the power of the "Great Yin-Yang Technique" is enough to rank among the top ten among the Three Thousand Great Daos!

Below the Great Divine Powers are the Lesser Divine Powers, also known as "Minor Spells," which are derived from the profound mysteries of the Great Divine Powers. For example, the "Spring Breeze and Rain Technique" is derived from the profound mysteries of the "Heavenly Wood Great Technique," one of the Eight Great Divine Powers of the Feathered Ascension Sect. It can absorb the spiritual energy of plants and trees, cultivate true energy, and nurture all things. It has unparalleled effects on healing, alchemy, strengthening the body, prolonging life, and nourishing qi.

......

"Your name is Fang Han, right? You are indeed eligible to take the assessment. Turn left upon entering and go into the assessment hall to participate."

About half an hour later, a young Taoist priest came out and informed Fang Han that he would be put to the test.

Upon entering, there is a winding corridor that stretches for seven or eight miles, with many artificial lakes on both sides. At the very back is a vast hall that can accommodate ten thousand people.

At this moment, all the princes, nobles, and royal disciples who participated in the assessment had arrived in the main hall.

It is worth noting that at the deepest part of the main hall there is a pitch-black door. Through the door, a pair of cruel and fierce crimson eyes can be vaguely seen. A terrifying and bloody aura emanates from it, making people uneasy and terrified.

"Could the thing inside this black portal be the divine puppet?"

"Ouch! How scary!"

Many people were already gasping in shock even before the assessment.

Even some princes and nobles who believed they could defeat the divine puppet couldn't help but look solemn.

Da da da!

Footsteps sounded, and several imposing middle-aged men walked in. At the same time, the atmosphere in the hall became heavy and oppressive, making many disciples who came to participate in the assessment not even dare to breathe.

"It seems these are the examiners in charge of the outer disciple assessment for the Feathered Ascension Sect!"

Fang Han thought to himself.

The aura emanating from these middle-aged men was extremely terrifying, posing an indescribable and frightening threat to Fang Han.

Clearly, they are at least at the ninth level of the Physical Body Realm, or even the tenth level of the Divine Transformation Realm!
