Ku Wu Zhen Xian was stunned. He had initially thought this was just an ordinary Grand Dao Secret Treasure, but upon witnessing its power, he realized how profoundly mistaken he was.
"To refine the primordial spirits of tens of thousands of Yuan Shen realm exotic beasts, this is too insane." Ku Wu Zhen Xian was inwardly shocked. What kind of supreme being could forge such a formidable artifact?
He was utterly convinced that even the founder of the Wu Ya Dynasty, Daoist Wu Ya, lacked the ability to create such a secret treasure. After all, Nascent Soul realm experts were exceedingly rare, and even in the Wu Ya Dynasty, teeming with masters, they belonged to the absolute pinnacle.
"Ultimately, I was blinded by the Grand Dao Secret Treasure. I never expected to truly follow in the footsteps of Junior Brother Yu Jian."
As the grand formation, composed of over a thousand exotic beasts, fully took shape, Ku Wu Zhen Xian's primordial spirit felt a power that he was utterly incapable of resisting. This brought him a glimmer of realization: not to mention himself, even an expert at the peak of the Spirit Refining realm would have a minuscule chance of escaping if trapped within.
"Suppress!"
Seeing Ku Wu Zhen Xian ensnared, Zhang Fan's hand seals changed, and he manipulated the Myriad Beast Cauldron, engulfing Ku Wu Zhen Xian. As expected, Ku Wu Zhen Xian was suppressed within the Myriad Beast Cauldron.
Ten thousand miles away, Qin Yun had already been petrified. One moment he was full of confidence in Ku Wu Zhen Xian, believing Zhang Fan couldn't breach Ku Wu Zhen Xian's physical defenses, but unexpectedly, Zhang Fan, disregarding conventional tactics, directly suppressed him with a Grand Dao Secret Treasure.
Without a second's hesitation, Qin Yun tore through the void and fled the scene, rapidly flying towards the direction of the Wu Ya Dynasty.
Zhang Fan sensed the spatial fluctuations ten thousand miles away and a smile touched his lips. He did not pursue.
With his current strength, Qin Yun's life and death were merely a thought away. Killing him was easy, but Zhang Fan was unwilling to do so at this moment. He eagerly anticipated what other surprises this "treasure delivery boy" would bring him next time.
Within the Myriad Mountain Sect at this moment, silence had fallen. Everyone gazed at the figure in the sky, their eyes filled with shock.
A mid-stage Spirit Refining realm expert was so easily suppressed by him.
The suppression of Yu Jian Zhen Xian by Zhang Fan was within their understanding. After all, whether it was Daoist arts, divine abilities, or secret treasures and spells, Yu Jian Zhen Xian was inferior to Zhang Fan, and his suppression was the natural outcome.
But this arriving Ku Wu Zhen Xian, whose cultivation was not weaker than Zhang Fan's, and whose physical body was so formidable that Zhang Fan couldn't breach its defenses, was an expert capable of instilling despair in everyone in the Myriad Mountain Sect.
However, just when they believed Zhang Fan could do nothing to him, the latter managed to suppress him in mere moments.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang Fan, this Grand Dao Secret Treasure of yours is truly extraordinary." Eastern Pole True Immortal's eyes were filled with envy, yet he harbored no covetous thoughts. He knew that even if he obtained this Grand Dao Secret Treasure, it would be more misfortune than fortune for him.
With his strength, he would be unable to protect such a treasure, and with his talent and cultivation, he wouldn't be able to comprehend it.
"No wonder this brat immediately agreed to the Great Luo Artifact Spirit's conditions when he saw the Myriad Beast Cauldron. Although my Ten Thousand Jin Sword is good, compared to the Myriad Beast Cauldron, it seems to be on a different level," Liu Mu mused inwardly.
Despite his envy, Liu Mu still greatly valued the Ten Thousand Jin Sword. As a Grand Dao Secret Treasure, it contained a complete path of the sword, which was most suitable for him.
Although his cultivation was still at the peak of the Nine Tribulations realm, his cultivation of the Dao's rules had surpassed ninety-seven thousand. Besides his own peerless talent, comprehending the sword path within the Ten Thousand Jin Sword had also provided him with immense help.
"It's no wonder cultivators with perfect Yuan Ying stage rules are so rare, with only a few appearing in an era. It's truly difficult," Liu Mu thought to himself. Cultivating the Dao's rules to his current level, every small step forward was incredibly arduous. Even he was not confident that he could cultivate the sword path rules to perfection within the Yuan Ying stage.
If he hadn't met Zhang Fan, he might have already broken through to the Divine Transformation realm. However, after witnessing the terrifying power of cultivators with perfect rules, he was filled with unwillingness and refused to step into the Divine Transformation realm just yet.
"Master, that Ku Wu Zhen Xian's physical body is so strong. It should be able to refine many Immortal Grade Blood Spirit Pills, right?" Seeing Zhang Fan descend from the sky, the Blood Demon Flood Dragon rushed forward, its chubby face beaming with fawning smiles.
Zhang Fan shook his head and chuckled at its demeanor, saying, "Don't worry. Once I completely refine this Ku Wu Zhen Xian, I will give you enough Blood Spirit Pills. You will enter secluded cultivation diligently and are not allowed to emerge until you reach the Divine Transformation realm!"
Upon hearing Zhang Fan's words, the Blood Demon Flood Dragon's face broke into a wide smile.
Zhang Fan also smiled. Once the Blood Demon Flood Dragon broke through to the Divine Transformation realm, their future travels would be much easier.
Returning to the Golden Light Immortal Mansion, Zhang Fan began refining Immortal Grade Blood Spirit Pills again. He was very satisfied with his current cultivation pace. According to his plan, after suppressing Ku Wu Zhen Xian, he should be able to harvest another wave.
A mid-stage Spirit Refining realm cultivator being suppressed should not alarm experts at the Divine Transformation realm. Simultaneously, with Qin Yun's cultivation, he should not have access to such powerful figures.
Therefore, in Zhang Fan's estimation, the strongest individual to come from the Wu Ya Dynasty next might be a peak Yuan Shen realm expert, or perhaps a group of them.
However, as long as no Divine Transformation realm experts appeared, Zhang Fan, possessing the Myriad Beast Cauldron, had no fear whatsoever.
No matter how strong Ku Wu Zhen Xian's physical body was, it would be useless once suppressed within the Myriad Beast Cauldron. Only one outcome awaited him: to serve as the main ingredient for Immortal Grade Blood Spirit Pills, waiting to be slowly refined.
A month later, a heavenly tribulation descended once again within the Myriad Mountain Sect. Over a hundred Immortal Grade Blood Spirit Pills floated in the air, accepting the baptism of the heavenly tribulation. This time, all one hundred and eight Immortal Grade Blood Spirit Pills successfully passed the tribulation. The Myriad Mountain Sect was enveloped in a dense, bloody spiritual mist. Some Yuan Ying stage cultivators who breathed lightly felt as if they had consumed spiritual liquid, their blood surging, and their physical bodies being tempered unknowingly.
After distributing the Blood Spirit Pills, Zhang Fan once again entered secluded cultivation. However, he did not rush to cultivate his physical body but instead began to study a newly acquired divine ability.
The Ten Absolute Heavenly God Record is divided into ten layers. From the first to the ninth layer, each corresponds to the cultivation of one of the nine major realms, from Qi Refining to Mahayana. With each breakthrough in cultivation stage, a divine ability of Godly Grade would be obtained.
Before breaking through to the Divine Transformation realm, Zhang Fan had already acquired three Godly Grade divine abilities: Horn of Splitting Heaven, Dark Devour, and Kun Peng Wings. Now, after stepping into the Divine Transformation realm, Zhang Fan had cultivated another page of the Candle Dragon Record, obtaining a divine ability called Candle Dragon Eye.
This was a divine ability for cultivating the eyes. Although Zhang Fan had previously cultivated a divine ability called Thunder Fire Divine Pupil, which was similar to Candle Dragon Eye, the power of the two was vastly different.
After all, Thunder Fire Divine Pupil was merely a sixth-grade divine ability. Before the Divine Transformation realm, it had served him well, but now that Zhang Fan had entered the Divine Transformation realm, its effectiveness had significantly diminished.
This Candle Dragon Eye was perfectly suited for Zhang Fan; it was precisely what he needed at this moment.
