Chapter 183: Fang Han: Oh no, I’ve become Tang Sanzang

The Five Elements Land is too important. It serves as the best training ground for the great Immortal Dao schools, far surpassing the Feather Transformation School's Heavenly Demon Battlefield. By relying on the Dragon Subduing Yellow Springs Diagram, Fang Han can refine Nascent Soul Medicinal Pills. He has gathered numerous resources with this technique, but the pills can only help some Inner Sect Disciples or Outer Sect Disciples enter the Divine Ability Secret Realm. However, the Five Elements Land can allow Disciples already in the Divine Ability Secret Realm to achieve great success in their Protective Aura, helping them step from the Heavenly Human Realm into the Unity Realm. For cultivators in the Divine Ability Secret Realm, the greatest resources are, first, Medicinal Pills, and second, Five Elements Essence Qi. After breaking through the Heavenly Human Realm, they must busy themselves with collecting and refining various types of Five Elements Essence Qi. This is easier for great schools with Blessed Lands, but Loose Cultivators often get stuck in the Heavenly Human Realm for a lifetime. In the Five Elements Land, however, Five Elements Essence Qi is everywhere. There are also various powerful Divine Beasts here, such as the White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. An ordinary person could refine a Magic Treasure Puppet by obtaining just one, thereby enhancing their strength. In the words of Xiao Yan, Shi Jian, and the others, this Five Elements Land is a bank. Fang Han naturally wants to firmly grasp it in his hands, not only to allow the people in the group to cultivate the Great Five Elements Technique to Perfection but also for his own future cultivation. [Fang Han: "Thank you, brothers. I have already refined my Natal Talisman. Please wait a few more days until I obtain the Talisman and gain control of the Five Elements Land. Then I will invite you all to cultivate here."] Fang Han said in the group while rushing towards the center of the Five Elements Land. [Shi Jian: "No rush. Let the first to achieve greatness lead the later ones. You should focus on your cultivation first, then consider us."] [Xiao Yan: "That's right..."] [Meng Qi: "I wonder if my Dharma Body will undergo any other changes after I cultivate the Great Five Elements Technique to the Perfection Realm!"] [Shi Jian: "With the Great Five Elements Technique at Perfection, you'll condense the Five Emperors Canopy. When your Dharma Body is covered by the Five Emperors Canopy, your defense will be invincible."] [Meng Qi: "So you're saying I'm stuck with defense, huh?"] [Yang Qi: "First, withstand the damage, then talk about output..."] [Lin Dong: "When the time comes, let's see how your defense holds up against my Great Desolate Imprisoning Heaven Finger..."] [Meng Qi: "Besides getting me all slobbery, what else can your Great Desolate Imprisoning Heaven Finger do?"] [Shi Jian: "???"] [Xiao Yan: "??? Elaborate..."] Fang Han flew at extreme speed while chatting in the group. As the Ancient Demonic Venerable had said, the Talisman's location was deep within the Five Elements Land. The closer he got to the depths, the more terrifying the strength of the Yao Beasts became. Weaker Yao Beasts were almost nowhere to be seen; only giant-level Divine Beasts appeared. Fang Han's movements were too violent, instantly alarming a powerful Yao Beast. From beneath the ground, a pillar of water light as tall as a mountain suddenly shot out. Countless streams of water Qi flowed, then formed ice crystals. Above this water Qi, a turtle with a dragon head, a turtle body, and a snake tail appeared. Numerous Talismanic Incantations flowed on the turtle's shell, and countless water Qi essences emanated from within. This was a Black Tortoise, the water-element Divine Beast. "Human, how dare you trespass into my territory?" The Black Tortoise let out a deep growl. "Kill!" Fang Han was just worried that his refined Natal Talisman had no place to be used. Seeing this Black Tortoise, his eyes lit up. His Natal Talisman above his head instantly flew out and attacked the Black Tortoise. The Black Tortoise opened its mouth and spat out countless Gui Water Divine Thunders. These thunders were extremely powerful. Although the previous Water Ape was also a Divine Beast condensed from water Qi, its strength was not as good as this Black Tortoise. Even the combined power of the Water and Fire Apes might not have been able to defeat it. The moment the Gui Water Divine Thunders touched Fang Han's Natal Talisman, they instantly disintegrated and transformed into the purest power, which was absorbed. With a rumble, the entire Black Tortoise, along with the mountain beneath it, was pulverized. It instantly transformed into countless streams of water Qi that merged into the Natal Talisman. The Black Emperor Water Emperor Fist contained within the Natal Talisman became even more powerful. The original water cloud could only cover dozens of miles, but now it could cover hundreds of miles. A Divine Beast Black Tortoise, even more powerful than a Golden Core expert, was instantly killed by Fang Han. Just how powerful had his Natal Talisman become? "This Black Tortoise is still too weak; it can't test the strength of the Natal Talisman. If only there were experts at the Heaven and Earth Dharma Manifestation Realm for me to test it on..." Fang Han said proudly. Star Cloud Baby and Yan, who were rushing over from behind him, couldn't help but drop their jaws when they heard him say this. Fang Han didn't mean to show off. His Natal Talisman was ridiculously strong. The Five Emperors Great Demonic Divine Ability within the Natal Talisman had cost him immense effort, killing countless Five Elements Yao Beasts and fusing with a White Tiger, two Water and Fire Apes, a Huang Snake, and now a Black Tortoise. Among them, the Huang Snake and the Black Tortoise were comparable to existences that had passed the Wind and Fire Tribulation at the eighth level of Divine Ability. The Five Emperors Great Demonic Divine Ability alone was terrifyingly powerful, not to mention the nearly a hundred other Divine Abilities fused within it. A Black Tortoise that had passed the Wind and Fire Tribulation at the eighth level of Divine Ability couldn't even test the limits of this Natal Talisman. No wonder Fang Han wanted to test it on experts at the Heaven and Earth Dharma Manifestation Realm. Of course, this Black Tortoise was still somewhat inferior to a true eighth-level expert who had passed the Wind and Fire Tribulation. It only had the Gui Water Divine Thunder as its means, lacking some flexibility and adaptability. "Your Natal Talisman is too powerful. If it were to further evolve into a Golden Core, how much stronger would it become?" Yan trembled with excitement. He couldn't imagine how terrifying Fang Han's Natal Talisman would be after evolving into a Golden Core. The Natal Talisman alone could shock and kill a Divine Ability eighth-level expert. What about the Natal Golden Core? "Haha, you also don't see how much hardship I endured for this Five Emperors Great Demonic Divine Ability... how many resources I expended!" Fang Han responded with a laugh. "However, the power gained after cultivating this Five Emperors Great Demonic Divine Ability to Great Perfection is worth all my previous hard work and sacrifices!" He had watched as others in the group continuously broke through their realms while he had been stuck in the Heavenly Human Realm. It was uncomfortable. Although his strength was indeed constantly growing stronger, he had been stuck for too long. It was simply too difficult to cultivate the Five Emperors Great Demonic Divine Ability, a peerless-grade ultimate technique of the Demonic Path, to Great Perfection. Whether the people in the group cultivated this Divine Ability to Perfection or not, it didn't affect their realm breakthroughs. Fang Han, however, had to reach Perfection before he could breakthrough to the Unity Realm. It was only because of this Five Elements Land, with so many Five Elements Divine Beasts, that he had his opportunity. Any one of these Divine Beasts, if taken out for auction, could fetch a price of a billion Golden Cores. Converted into Five Elements Spirit Stones, they could pile up into several mountains. Without the Five Elements Land, Fang Han would have had to sell his body for a very long time to accumulate enough resources. But now the storm had passed. Fang Han's Great Five Elements Technique had already reached Perfection. After slaying the Black Tortoise, he continued forward and didn't encounter any more Divine Beasts. Soon, he arrived at the very center of the Five Elements Land. There, a tall mountain stood, its texture clearly visible and somewhat resembling a palm. In the center of the palm, Talismanic Incantations flickered faintly. It looked like a long, rectangular character. Fang Han activated his vision and clearly saw that it was a Talisman resembling a couplet. It had six curved ancient characters on it, which seemed to be ancient writing from the ancient era. "Om, Ma, Ni, Pad, Me, Hum," Yan called out the pronunciation of these six characters. It was a strange syllable, like the lowing of an ox and the roar of a tiger. "Isn't this the Six-Character Great Bright Mantra? The Six-Character Great Bright Dharani, the Six-Character True Word, the Mani Mantra, the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva's Heart Mantra from Journey to the West!" Fang Han thought to himself. "Oh no, I've become Tang Sanzang!" The Five Elements Mountain, shaped like five fingers, was one thing. But it also had a Talisman inscribed with the six characters "Om, Ma, Ni, Pad, Me, Hum." "This is an ancient Buddhist sect's Spirit Suppressing Talismanic Incantation, possessing infinite power. That old Daoist said you could take it, so you should try. An expert of that realm has no need to deceive us," Yan spoke. Fang Han heard this, first checked the surroundings, and then, without hesitation, walked directly to the Talisman. He took a picture and uploaded it to the group. [Fang Han: "Tribute to Journey to the West!"] [Xiao Yan: "Isn't this the Five Fingers Mountain? Is Monkey King pressed beneath the mountain?"] [Meng Qi: "Five Elements Land, Five Elements Mountain, a peerless demon suppressed beneath the mountain. I suspect you're plagiarizing, but I have no evidence..."] [Shi Jian: "What plagiarism? This is called referencing, don't you understand..."] [Xiao Yan: "Referencing is good. If not for referencing, where would you all get so many old grandpas?"] [Meng Qi: "Alright, alright, you have a Golden Finger that can copy others' abilities, and you call that referencing, right?!"] [Yang Qi: "Oh no, Brother Fang has become Tang Sanzang..."] The few people in the group responded one after another. Fang Han glanced at the chat group, then summoned his Natal Talisman. The Natal Talisman continuously flowed with light, instantly landing in the palm-shaped center of the hand, approaching the Talisman. The Talisman inscribed with the Six-Character True Word was dozens of feet high and one person wide. The six large characters on it gave off an extremely strong oppressive feeling. Fang Han waved his hand, and the Talisman, guided by his magical power, instantly fell into his hand. It then fused with his magical power, and in an instant, he successfully refined it. This Talisman did not contain any powerful force, but it did have a passage—a passage to leave the Five Elements Land. Fang Han did not hesitate. He activated the Talisman, and it vibrated in the Void Realm, then emitted a strange wailing sound. A spacetime gate appeared. Fang Han's body moved and flew into it. The spacetime tunnel was pitch black, and his body constantly vibrated, seemingly being twisted and folded. Fang Han had gained immense rewards in the Five Elements Land, cultivating the Five Emperors Great Demonic Divine Ability and refining a powerful Natal Talisman. Moreover, he also gained control of the Five Elements Land, this "bank." "I wonder if my current strength can defeat Hua Tian Du?" he pondered. "If I can cultivate to Golden Core and refine the Nine Ghosts Primordial Spirit, I estimate I can steadily win against him!" He was confident he could contend against Grand Experts at the Heaven and Earth Dharma Manifestation level. However, Hua Tian Du's strength was not to be underestimated. His combat power was outstanding among those of the same realm. It would probably be a bit difficult to fight him in a reverse realm. However, if he could cultivate to Golden Core, everything would not be a problem. Fang Han's heart was filled with longing for the future. Countless sounds of wind came from the end of the spacetime tunnel, and a glimmer of light appeared at the end of the dark tunnel. Fang Han returned to the Xuanhuang Great World. He sensed the Talisman, and through it, he could see the Five Elements Land from afar. The Five Elements Land is a star deep in the distant starry sky. In the Xuanhuang Great World, no matter how powerful one's strength, they cannot perceive the existence of the Five Elements Land, because it is too far away. Without the aid of spacetime shuttle and spatial folding functions, even a powerful cultivator in the Longevity Realm would not be able to fly there in ten thousand years. Now, Fang Han was able to use this Talisman to transport people. This Talisman had no defensive capabilities against enemies, but it was a boat ticket—a boat ticket from the Five Elements Land to the Xuanhuang Great World. It was equivalent to a bank's "admission certificate" where you can take as much as you want. Fang Han's Divine Thought permeated the Talisman, and he could see a tunnel leading deep into the ancient star river. The end of the tunnel was the Five Elements Land. Fang Han was instantly overjoyed. He moved his body, soared into the air, and disappeared without a trace. This was the Five Elements Escape Technique of the Great Five Emperors Divine Ability. Between flashes, he was like a meteor chasing the moon. His speed was even faster than when he used the Kunpeng Technique before. He headed in the direction of the Yuhua Sect. Now that he had the Talisman, he could take Shi Jian and the others to the Five Elements Land without arousing suspicion from the Ancient Demon Venerable. However, it would be best to return a few days later. If he left one second and immediately returned the next, it would be too deliberate. Fang Han just happened to need a day or two to organize his own progress. He flew swiftly, and in just a few hours, he saw the Yuhua Mountains. There was a strange sight there. Large amounts of white clouds gathered towards a mountain peak, and then were exhaled. It was like an incredibly huge primeval Vicious Beast lurking within, breathing. "Kunpeng breathing, swallowing the Yangtze River and exhaling the sea!" "Interesting, it seems Meng Shaobai has indeed refined the Kunpeng!" After seeing this, Fang Han's lips curled into a cold smile. He could have killed Meng Shaobai before. However, at that time, in order to witness the profundity of the "Demonic Embryo Parasitism Art," Fang Han had let him go. He had wanted to see what effect it would have after he successfully cultivated it. Now, it seemed he succeeded. "I wonder if Luo Feng has refined that Golden Horned Beast?" Seeing Meng Shaobai's successful cultivation, Fang Han thought of Luo Feng. The potential of that Golden Horned Beast was much stronger than that of the Kunpeng in his world. "The Demonic Embryo Parasitism Art merges life Origin Energy with Kunpeng life Origin Energy, transforming into an existence that is neither human nor demon... It's not surprising that he has such astonishing breathing capacity and ability to absorb Origin Qi!" Yan also let out a surprised sound, and as he spoke, he began to laugh. "Haha, he successfully parasitized the Kunpeng, and his strength will definitely advance by leaps and bounds. At that time, he will inevitably cause you trouble! It's just right to use him to test your current strength!" "Let's see whether the Demonic Embryo Parasitism Art, this mysterious Demonic Path Divine Ability, is stronger, or your Great Five Emperors Divine Ability is stronger..." "Is that so? Last time, his Lifeless Sword Dao was beaten like a dead dog by me. Even if he fused with the Kunpeng, it will be no exception!" Fang Han's smile was even more disdainful than Yan's. Even the Black Tortoise, who had passed the Fengshui Tribulation, was injured by him. Let alone a mere Meng Shaobai. He was confident that if he could suppress Meng Shaobai once, he could suppress him a hundred or a thousand times, making him only able to look up to himself for a lifetime. "That's true, your Natal Divine Talisman is too Heaven-Defying. Not only does it have the Great Five Emperors Divine Ability, but also hundreds of other Divine Abilities..." Yan thought about it and also felt that Meng Shaobai was not Fang Han's opponent. Unable to witness a true dragon and tiger fight, he was very disappointed. Fang Han ignored him and returned to his Reincarnation Peak. He planned to sort out his gains and losses from his trip to the Five Elements Land and help Star Cloud Baby achieve a breakthrough. After a few days, he would call the people in the group to the Five Elements Land. Fang Han patted the Yellow Springs Diagram, and array diagrams depicting a thousand bright moons slowly rose, with dozens of Flying Swords flying into them at once. The Sword Qi was vast, transforming into a thousand bright moons, circling above Reincarnation Peak and circulating endlessly. This was the Derived Moon Sword Formation that Fang Han had obtained after killing powerful enemies before, and it was the best great formation for guarding a mountain gate. His strength was low before. There was nothing guarding Fang Han's Reincarnation Peak. Now that he was rich, he naturally had to arrange it well. No matter what, he was a super-rich man who owned a "bank," so he had to set up some defensive measures at home. The Derived Moon Sword Formation was just his initial setup. His true core was another formation. Fang Han conjured an array diagram. This array diagram was none other than the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation that Meng Qi had uploaded not long ago. "This Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is truly extraordinary, with incredibly powerful might. I've studied it for several months and only learned a little bit of its superficial knowledge!" When Yan saw him conjure the array diagram, he immediately threw out four Divine Swords. After Fang Han obtained the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, he and Yan began to study this formation. The two of them were considered experts in this area, so they also learned a little of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation's superficial knowledge. Coincidentally, they were not only experts in array Dao but also Great Masters in Artifact Refining. Therefore, they tried to imitate and refine the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation Diagram and the Four Immortal Slaughtering Swords. The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation Diagram was related to the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation. However, these Four Immortal Slaughtering Swords were purely just a rip-off. They were just four Peerless Grade Treasure Artifacts! The four Peerless Grade Treasure Artifacts combined with this Peerless Grade Treasure Artifact level array diagram, forming the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation... Even if it was a fake, fake, fake product, its power was still terrifyingly strong! The surface was covered by the Derived Moon Sword Formation, and the inside was guarded by the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation. In addition to this, there was also the Demonic Sect's supreme treasure, the Myriad Ghosts Soul Locking Great Formation! Fang Han instantly took out five hundred pitch-black command flags, making them float in the Void Realm. Myriad resentful spirits permeated, and monstrous demonic flames rolled. This was the protective technique he had obtained from the Ghost Emperor, the Myriad Ghost Command Flags, which could be arranged into the Myriad Ghosts Soul Locking Great Formation. The Myriad Ghosts Soul Locking Great Formation, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, and the Derived Moon Sword Formation unleashed their power simultaneously. Fang Han's Reincarnation Peak was as solid as a fortress. Even powerful cultivators at the ninth or tenth level of Divine Ability would not be able to break through. The first two formations were fine, but this Myriad Ghosts Soul Locking Great Formation alarmed many people. Countless Disciples and Elders of the Yuhua Heavenly Palace came out to see what was happening. They saw the scene of monstrous demonic flames above Reincarnation Peak and thought that people from the Demonic Path had invaded. After seeing the scene, they were instantly shocked. Fang Han stood in the Void Realm, with a Heaven-Shrouding Demonic Hand behind him, grasping in the rolling demonic clouds. Each grasp emitted large amounts of Origin Qi. The dense ghost clouds became transparent under the washing of the Emotionless Water. The resentment was also converted into Origin Qi. Demons in the sky transformed into incredibly robust Heavenly Gods wearing colorful armor, Daoist Protector Spirits, and Giant Spirit Gods. Fang Han refined these Myriad Ghost Command Flags into the Giant Spirit Flag from the Pangu Great Strength Divine Ability. "The Ghost Emperor's Myriad Ghost Command Flags? And his Heaven-Shrouding Demonic Hand? Back then, the Ghost Emperor used the Heaven-Shrouding Demonic Hand to instantly destroy a Loose Cultivator school!" "How did the Ghost Emperor's treasures, that Demonic Path giant, fall into Fang Han's hands? Even if Fang Han was the Ghost Emperor's father, the Ghost Emperor wouldn't possibly give him such good things..." "Could it be that the Ghost Emperor was killed by Fang Han? How is that possible? The Ghost Emperor is one of the strongest figures below the Longevity Realm. Even Senior Brother Hua Tian Du couldn't kill him..." Countless Disciples discussed animatedly after seeing this scene. The commotion Fang Han caused was too great. Not to mention that he had the Myriad Ghost Command Flags and the Heaven-Shrouding Demonic Hand, even True Disciples were alarmed. Fang Qingxue, Galan, and some Grand Elders all looked sideways. A pitch-black flesh and blood palm, a Demon God's palm, rose into the air. Fang Han stood proudly in the Void Realm, and then his Natal Divine Talisman rose, and terrifying divine light instantly illuminated the entire Yuhua Mountain. The sound of blowing a large conch and beating a large drum resounded between heaven and earth. The Natal Divine Talisman instantly suppressed the Demon God's palm. "How is this possible... Nearly a hundred great Divine Abilities, his Natal Divine Talisman contains nearly a hundred great Divine Abilities!" Someone let out a scream. The sharp sound spread throughout the mountains. All the Disciples were numb with shock. What was the concept of a Natal Divine Talisman formed by nearly a hundred great Divine Abilities? "A Natal Divine Talisman formed by nearly a hundred great Divine Abilities? How can he accommodate so many great Divine Abilities? Isn't he afraid of his body exploding? I only have nine Divine Abilities!" "If my Golden Core collides with his Divine Talisman, I'm afraid it will be shattered. Even self-detonating my Golden Core wouldn't be able to break open his Divine Talisman, which is a combination of the Great Five Emperors Divine Ability and nearly a hundred great Divine Abilities..." "Blowing a conch and beating a drum, this is the aptitude for Immortal Ascension!" One True Disciple after another, one Elder after another, roared in a state of discomposure. Fang Han's Natal Divine Talisman was too terrifying. It floated in the air, giving off a sacred and vast aura. Those powerful cultivators in the Golden Core Realm, those who had passed the Wind and Fire Tribulation, and even those who had cultivated the Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol, all felt a surge of fear when facing this Divine Talisman! It was as if this Divine Talisman could instantly kill them. Self-detonating their Golden Core would be useless. Or rather, it wasn't "as if." It could indeed kill them. Everything paled in comparison to Fang Han's Natal Divine Talisman. The center of the entire Yuhua Sect became Reincarnation Peak. It all became Fang Han. A little over a year ago, Fang Han had just achieved the Divine Ability Realm. As soon as he achieved the realm, he offended Hua Tian Du. Everyone ridiculed him for his bad luck. Now, in just over a year, Fang Han had cultivated to the Unity Realm, condensing nearly a hundred Divine Abilities into his Natal Divine Talisman! Possessing terrifying combat power, with the potential for Immortal Ascension! Such a change was truly incredible. Fang Han stood in the Void Realm, listening to the words from all directions. He also felt a slight sigh in his heart. A little over a year ago, he still had to constantly make alliances, carefully surviving under Hua Tian Du's nose. And now, even if his combat power was not as good as Hua Tian Du's, Hua Tian Du also couldn't do anything to him. It was truly a case of the wheel of fortune turning. "Fellow Disciples, I, Fang Han, went to the Savage Divine Temple to search for the Five Elements Spiritual Root, and I have new gains. Not only did I cultivate the Great Five Emperors Divine Ability, but I also killed the Thorn Moon Thief, the Star Destroyer Thief, the Immortal Slaughtering Thief, and the Ghost Emperor!" "You don't need to panic. The Ghost Emperor's Magic Treasures have all been refined by me. If any fellow Disciples are interested, you are welcome to come to my Reincarnation Peak for a viewing!" Fang Han's voice rang out.
