The ideals of the âYellow Springs Great Emperorâ, let me fulfill them. Iâll construct the path of reincarnation and establish a basis for reward and punishment in the âNetherworldâ. Between the heavens and earth, there will be the word, judgment. I will not excessively kill, and will instead use dignified means to let those between the heavens and earth know there is good and bad!
[TL: Not so sure how accurate the second sentence is here, some weird syntax Iâd never seen before. I think I got the meaning of it though]
While he spoke, he stopped for a moment, completely silent. His eyes gently closed, a faint ringing sound seemingly emanating from his headâs âHeavenly Gateâ. It was as if he had opened a sunroof, a plane of brightness.
Your spirit has become even purer. In regard to entering the âDivine Realmâ, you have take another substantial step forward. With this kind of heart, even if you hadnât consumed the âNine Aperture Golden Pelletâ, you would have sooner or later broken into the âDivine Realmâ anyway, Yan suddenly became serious, In at most three years, the quickest being within a year, you will breakthrough into the âDivine Realmâ! This kind of progress will shock the world!
Indeed, Fang Han, when he first cultivated martial arts, had a pitifully poor foundation. However, within the span of nearly a year, he had already cultivated to the âG.o.dly Transformationâ stage and had the strength of approximately ten horses. If he could cultivate and breakthrough the âDivine Realmâ in another year, it would truly shock the world.
Looking at Jin s.h.i.+ Tai, he had spent over ten years trying to break through into the âDivine Realmâ, yet he was unable to advance single step. In the end, only through using the âYin Yang Longevity Pelletâ was he able to break through. His foundation was a hundred times more vast than Fang Hanâs.
Truthfully, in the cultivating world, to reach the âDivine Realmâ within twenty years was already considered talented. To reach the âDivine Realmâ within ten years was an unbelievable genius.
In interrogating himself just now, Fang Hanâs spirit had become incomparably purer, losing a lot of impurities. This was an extremely good cultivation method. However, there was still a very difficult path to go to breakthrough the âDivine Realmâ.
En! I had originally thought that I would still need a few years. Letâs stop speaking and focus on cultivating!
[TL: En is a chinese way of acknowledgement]
Fang Hanâs mentality was extremely firm because he felt as if he had a goal for himself, an unprecedented, extremely grand goal. Compared to becoming an Immortal, it was an even more boundless future.
How big is the heart, how great is the achievement.
He knew that as long as he always fought towards this goal, his life would unfold on a magnificent scale.
Might as well take this âBlue Sky Great Pelletâ. Thatâs right! Since this pellet is used to increase the strength of your spirit, you donât swallow it. Crumble it into pieces and use water to dissolve it into a liquid! Then, drip it onto the âHeavenly Gateâ and use your spirit to receive it. It will clear up your mind, cleanse your mentality, and condense your will! Yan said.
Fang Han took out the âTrue Water Talismanâ and dripped out a drop of water. He dissolved the mung bean sized âBlue Sky Great Pelletâ and put it on his head. It surprisingly felt as if the pellet had turned into jade serum. It entered his mind.
[TL: I took the literal translation of jade serum, itâs comparable to nectar/ambrosia but I think that itâs something else in China]
His mind slowly heated up to an extremely comfortable point. It was once again that feeling of intoxication. After the amount of time it takes for half a stick of incense to burn, the feeling of intoxication disappeared, replaced by his spirit which seemed to have kind of coagulated and formed into a water-like liquid.
En, this âBlue Sky Great Pelletâ replaces at least a month of bitter cultivation. It has the ability to turn blood and qi into spirit. I originally wanted to bestow upon you the techniques of the Huangâquan Sect, but the Yuâhua School is a hidden dragon crouching tiger. If during your cultivation, your qi nature changes, they will definitely sense it. Thus, I will wait until you reach the âDivine Realmâ and find some opportunities for you to secretly cultivate.
From the âG.o.dly Transformationâ stage to the âDivine Realmâ was a great leap. It required great amounts of acc.u.mulation. One had to turn their spirit into mana, changing quant.i.ty into quality and breaking away from the world of ordinary people. It was definitely not something that could be done overnight. All of the Yuâhua Schoolâs inner court disciples, including the ones on the âShanâhe Rankingsâ were all toughening themselves through this process.
During this kind of toughening, magic treasures and lingâqi were all useless. It could only be done by consuming pellets and strengthening the flesh and cultivating spirit day after day; such hard, bitter training.
Just as Fang Han was circulating his spirit and refining the medicinal powers of the âBlue Sky Great Pelletâ, a thousand li away, atop a tall stone peak, stood a man. This man was surrounded by many yin winds. These yin winds constantly emitted odd, grotesque sounds, as if they were reporting to this man.
âIs that so? Yuâhua School disciples have already begun entering here and cultivating? The Yuâhua School headmaster turned this place into a testing grounds hoping to gather more and more âHeavenly Devilsâ! However, this just gives us more flesh eating opportunities! Those Yuâhua School people probably donât know that the âNine Yang Devil G.o.dsâ have already secretly sent me here under their noses! This time, I shall extinguish all of the Yuâhua Schoolâs disciples!â
This male was actually also a âHeavenly Devilâ as his face was constantly changing, sometimes it was handsome, sometimes it was ugly, sometimes it was ordinary, sometimes it was one in a thousand. Anyhow, this devilâs body was constantly diffusing out blood spirit qi, clearly showing that it was a real body.
A âHeavenly Devilâ with a body, that was a âDevil Kingâ!
The equivalent of a âDivine Realmâ level cultivator!
I could sweep away any existence which hadnât reached the âDivine Realmâ! The disciples that the Yuâhua School had sent to the âHeavenly Devil Arenaâ this time were all outer court disciples to take the examination. Although there were a few stronger ones, there was not a single one within the âDivine Realmâ.
âYou guys group up together and learn from the humanâs art of war. If you encounter an expert, do not all charge at them. It is best to not work alone. If you encounter any difficult to handle disciples, I will go directly kill them,â said the âDevil Kingâ cunningly.
âYes, Vajrabhairava Devil King.â
Next to this âVajrabhairava Devil Kingâ was a countless number of âHeavenly Devilsâ. They constantly shouted. It was as if an emperor was receiving the support of the commoners. It showed the high status of the âDevil Kingâ and his great strength.
Swish swish, swish swish swish.
After the âVajrabhairava Devil Kingâs voice died down, the countless âHeavenly Devilsâ by his side flew off like a swarm of locusts sweeping through the sky. A chilly wind gusted, the cries of ghosts and howls of G.o.ds filling the air. This desolate starâs loose gravel was swept up and into the sky, cras.h.i.+ng into each other and then falling back down like hail. Luckily this star didnât have any creatures, otherwise a large half of them would have died.
Several thousand years ago atop this star, I remember there were still creatures. However, a group of âOuter Domain Heavenly Devilsâ flew here and ate all of them. Even the spirit qi of the trees were sucked away. Thus, it became so desolate. At least those âHeavenly Materialâ minerals are not things they eat.
Having absorbed a âBlue Sky Great Pelletâ, Fang Han felt his own spirit condensing a lot. However, his body had become somewhat hungry. It seemed as if after every time he cultivated, he could feel hungry. Luckily, he had an abundant amount of pellets on him. Taking out a âBlood Pelletâ, he swallowed it and then drank some âtrue waterâ. Closing his eyes, after a moment, he suddenly stood up, fine light shooting off in all directions, a graceful expression on his face.
He stood up because he had heard Yan exclaim again.
âHeavenly Devilsâ are the archenemies of the world. They drift within the universe, and wherever they drift, they eat everything there. Devastation follows them wherever they go. All vitality will be devoured. This kind of Devil which only knows how to destroy and not create, I wonder they would live within this world.
Fang Han had once read âThe Worldâsâ explanation regarding âHeavenly Devilsâ. Now having been exposed to them, he had finally understood what they were.
