Calabash Fairy

The next morning, Fang Yan was greeted by the Money Rat who came to make the transaction.

He decisively sold some of the pills he had kept during this period, and then exchanged them for two Pure Yang Warm Jade from the Money Rat for 1,700 Wanbao Coins.

This precious jade contains an incomparably vast and pure Yang energy, which is perfect for enhancing his trump card, the Pure Yang Sword Qi.

After Fang Yan completed the transaction with the Money Rat, the man suddenly said quite seriously:

"Your Excellency Fang Yan, I recently traveled to the interior of the Ten Thousand Mountains. The energy in a certain area to the south of your temple seemed a bit off. It would be best to avoid going in that direction in the coming years."

After saying this, the Money Rat saw Fang Yan nod in agreement, and then it transformed into a streak of light and disappeared on Qingfeng Mountain.

"It seems the money rat has also noticed the commotion over there."

Fang Yan looked south. The person who had just reminded him was afraid that he might encounter that danger if he went into the interior of the Ten Thousand Mountains recently.

Although he knew that a significant portion of the money rats were afraid of losing him, their "god of wealth," he still appreciated the sentiment that the money rat had offered.

However, what the Money Rat was unaware of was that a Black Tortoise had appeared on his Qingfeng Mountain, a fact he had known for some time.

Fang Yan watched the streak of light quickly disappear into the horizon and chuckled:

"Over the years of reincarnation, I have accumulated a great deal of good karma."

Back then, he did two underworld messengers a favor. After the evil spirits of the underworld escaped, these two messengers came to remind him so that he would know early on that there were evil spirits appearing in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Now, when strange things happen, the Money Rat comes out to warn us.

Indeed, good karma leads to good results.

Fang Yan seemed to have grasped something, as if he had understood something, but it was still like being separated by a veil, and he couldn't see it clearly. He just shook his head and slowly walked back into the mountain god temple, his figure gradually disappearing from sight.

Since the time isn't right, it's best not to force it. Besides, now that we have the treasure, it's time to let its trump card shine...

......................................

"Judging from the power of the Pure Yang Sword Qi that is currently being nurtured within the Pure Yang Sword Seed, it would be no problem to kill a great demon with three thousand years of cultivation with a single sword strike."

"But what if we're facing a four-thousand-year-old demon..."

Fang Yan sensed the pure Yang sword energy within the pure Yang sword seed that had been continuously nurtured over the years, and then glanced at the three crimson gold jade tablets placed in front of him.

After a moment's thought, Fang Yan put the original Pure Yang Warm Jade back on his waist, and then took the remaining two into his hands, drawing out the vast Pure Yang energy within them and continuously channeling it into the Pure Yang Sword Seed within his body.

Soon, Fang Yan's figure was enveloped in a hazy golden light formed by the increasing concentration of pure yang energy around him.

At the same time, as streams of pure yang energy, like golden light, continuously flowed into the pure yang sword seed, the power of that pure yang sword energy was rapidly increasing.

In the blink of an eye, several hours had passed.

Fang Yan's pure yang energy had been completely withdrawn, and the two crimson gold jade tablets in his hand had turned into ashes and disappeared.

Fang Yan slowly opened his eyes. The two crimson-gold suns gradually faded from his sight, and in front of him, an ordinary, understated crimson-gold sword aura appeared.

Only he could clearly sense the terrifying power contained within this seemingly inconspicuous sword energy.

If this sword energy were to unleash its full power, a quarter of his Qingfeng Mountain territory would be destroyed instantly, and the surrounding two hundred miles would be reduced to scorched earth.

"Although it only has the power of a single strike, I wonder if this sword energy alone can slay a five-thousand-year-old demon..."

Fang Yan smiled, and the pure Yang sword energy in front of him disappeared into thin air, returning to the pure Yang sword seed, where it continued to slowly absorb the pure Yang energy.

Limited by the Pure Yang Sword type, the power of this Pure Yang Sword Qi, while still having room for improvement, is quite close to its limit.

If he wants to continue to improve, he must wait until he comprehends a trace of the Pure Yang Dao, which will cause the Pure Yang Sword Seed to undergo a transformation.

Even so, Fang Yan was already quite satisfied.

He closed his eyes and regulated his breathing for a moment, then took out a Sword Intent Pill from the jade bottle in his bosom and put it in his mouth, his consciousness slowly sinking into the sword tower.

He can now clearly sense the lightning tribulation hanging above his head, which will descend as soon as his cultivation reaches a thousand years.

During this time, he had already found a suitable place in Qingfeng Mountain to undergo the tribulation, which would not affect the people of Xiahe Village. He had also never slacked off in his cultivation, and he was determined to face the tribulation in the best possible condition.

"Although the lightning tribulation can be temporarily prevented from striking by delaying one's cultivation, this method will only cause the power of the lightning tribulation to increase continuously, which is of no use to me."

"My swordsmanship is limited by my current level, and there's not much left for me to hone."

"At the latest, by next year, I will have passed the tribulation and broken through to the realm of a thousand-year-old demon."

...............................................

In the tranquil and peaceful atmosphere of Qingfeng Mountain, a year passes in the blink of an eye.

Fang Yan slowly walked out of the Qingfeng Secret Realm. His powerful aura was released for a moment and then completely subsided. Clearly, he was ready to take that step and make a breakthrough at any time.

With a single step, he arrived at the center of a dark and empty basin.

This place is on the edge of Qingfeng Mountain. Because a spiritual material called Yellow Lotus Crystal grows underground, it will plunder the spiritual power and vitality of the surrounding area, so there are no living beings here. It is a suitable place to undergo tribulation.

Fang Yan looked up at the sky. At this moment, all he needed to do was activate the spiritual power within his body to break through his cultivation level, which would cause the lightning tribulation that he also felt was somewhat dangerous to descend.

…………

By the stone pool, four little demons gathered together with worried expressions.

"Will Master's tribulation be extremely terrifying?"

The black tortoise looked at the big yellow dog, whose tail was already drooping, and nodded, saying:

"That's for sure. For ordinary demons, breaking through to the Great Demon realm is just a matter of a few bolts of heavenly lightning. If their foundation and methods are high enough, it's not really that difficult to overcome."

"But our master, at the level of a minor demon, has already comprehended the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, which can only be comprehended by a demon king, and possesses supernatural powers."

"His spiritual power was already exceptionally strong, and with the master's pure Yang sword intent, even before breaking through, he could probably kill a great demon with two thousand years of cultivation..."

Upon hearing the words of the Black Tortoise, the three little demons couldn't help but show respect and admiration, and Big Yellow's tail wagged happily once again.

Seeing this, the black tortoise opened its mouth, but ultimately did not utter the second half of the sentence, only letting out a soft sigh.

However, precisely because of this, even though it's just breaking through to the Great Demon realm, the second stage of the demon race, the master's tribulation lightning won't be like that of ordinary demons; on the contrary, it will be extremely terrifying...

The center of the basin.

Fang Yan exhaled lightly, and streams of purple-gold light flowed around him, transforming into a solid purple-gold cloud-patterned gourd. At the same time, his aura suddenly surged, and his cultivation level reached a thousand years!

"Boom—"

In an instant, a fierce wind arose on the ground, and a thunderous roar, as if the heavens were enraged, resounded throughout the Qingfeng Mountain area.

Above Fang Yan's head, a dark cloud that completely blocked out the sunlight and flashed with endless thunder was rapidly spreading out at a visible speed, covering an area of ​​thirty miles in radius!

On Qingfeng Mountain, Xuan Shui heard the loud rumbling sound that was coming from afar, and his heart trembled, his face full of astonishment.

"This...this is breaking through to the Great Demon realm?!"

Even if it was mentally prepared beforehand...

But this is merely a breakthrough from the Lesser Demon realm to the Greater Demon realm, isn't that a bit too exaggerated?!
