Eternal Life: I hold the door to eternal life

“It is said that the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion is a treasure left behind by a super powerful person whose strength is comparable to that of the Heavenly Sovereign of the Immortal Realm. When Emperor Huangquan ascended to the Immortal Realm, his strength was almost at the level of the Heavenly Sovereign of the Immortal Realm, but he still did not dare to break into the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion. The World Tree can actually break through the restriction formation of the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion and absorb the immortal energy. This... this is too against the will of heaven.” Yan exclaimed.

"Hehe, even though you have lived for ten thousand years, you may not know some of the secrets of the Xuanhuang World better than I do." Fang Han showed off.

"What's there to be proud of? As the saying goes, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Yan said in a didactic tone, "I admit that you do know some secrets that even I don't know, but without sufficient strength, you can only sigh in despair. Where does strength come from? Strength is accumulated bit by bit. You lack too much knowledge about the path of cultivation..."

"I know everything you said." Fang Han obviously had a plan for the future. Before Yan finished speaking, he said, "Getting the golden elixir of the Fire Cloud Fairy is only one of the reasons why I entered the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion. What I really value about the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion is that the flow of time here is much faster than outside. I practiced here for a year, but only one day passed outside. I have already told you about Fang Rentu. You should also know that I will have to fight against the Immortal King one day, and I don't know when these Immortal Kings will attack me. I can only work hard to quickly improve my strength. It is because of this that I have been unable to calm down and fully learn some common sense that cultivators must have."

"It's different in Taiyuan Immortal Mansion. I can calm down here and make up for my lack of basic knowledge of the world of immortal cultivation. In addition, there is a real immortal in Taiyuan Immortal Mansion. Next, in addition to cultivating with peace of mind, I have to find a way to contact this real immortal. If I can get guidance from an immortal, my future cultivation will definitely be twice as effective with half the effort."

After listening to Fang Han's words, Yan couldn't help but admire him and said, "I didn't expect you to think so far ahead. I misunderstood you before. However, if you want to practice, you need to find a secluded place. There are so many people in the square, it's not a good place to practice in peace."

"It's not time for Taiyuan Immortal Mansion to be unveiled yet, so the only place for people to move around is this square." Fang Han said calmly, "However, it won't be long before these people find out that they can't explore the secrets of Taiyuan Immortal Mansion, and they will start to quiet down. After all, Taiyuan Immortal Mansion can't absorb the vital energy of heaven and earth, and cultivators can only consume the least energy when they sit in meditation. With the existence of the World Tree, I just need to be careful for a while. The longer the time drags on, the greater my advantage will be..."

There were more than 5,000 cultivators in the first batch entering Taiyuan Immortal Mansion, but most of them were independent cultivators affiliated with various sects. There were not many core disciples of the giant sects of Xuanhuang World, such as the Ten Sects of Immortal Dao, the Eight Sects of Demon Dao, and the Five Sects of Demon Dao. This first batch of cultivators was just the pioneers of exploring Taiyuan Immortal Mansion for the giant sects of the three paths of immortal, demon, and monster. The elite forces of the three paths of immortal, demon, and monster that really explored Taiyuan Immortal Mansion would enter Taiyuan Immortal Mansion seven days later.

At this time, the more than 5,000 people who entered Taiyuan Immortal Mansion had already scattered, looking around in the wide square like headless flies. Fang Han also saw the figure of Xingyun Baby from the Star Gate among the thousands of people. Xingyun Baby was the only person in Fang Han's Xuanhuang World who could barely be considered Fang Han's friend, except Fang Qingxue.

However, Fang Han had no intention of recognizing Xingyun Baby right now. Seeing the noisy crowd in the square, he didn't know when it would stop. Fang Han couldn't help but think to himself: "There is no heaven and earth energy in Taiyuan Immortal Mansion. In order to survive for seven years, these people have no choice but to sit in meditation to reduce consumption or do their best to explore everywhere in the hope of finding the secret of Taiyuan Immortal Mansion to resolve the current dilemma. Although they will stop sooner or later, I don't have time to waste."

Fang Han thought for a while, and suddenly smiled knowingly, having made up his mind. Fang Han walked straight to the three ancient giant gates that were so high that the tops could not be seen, stared at the three giant gates for a long time, and suddenly sat down cross-legged, with a ray of divine consciousness firmly locked on a pattern on the giant gate, and a look of enlightenment appeared on his face.

Fang Han's unconcealed spiritual fluctuations immediately attracted the attention of the people nearby. When everyone saw Fang Han actually using his spiritual thoughts to perceive a pattern on the giant gate, someone immediately mocked him, "Tsk, everyone knows that these three ancient stone gates are the core of the entire Taiyuan Immortal Mansion. The patterns on them seem to hide mysteries at first glance, but a closer look will reveal that these patterns are just natural patterns on the stone. This idiot actually wants to perceive the secrets of Taiyuan Immortal Mansion through these patterns. Has he become stupid because of his cultivation?"

"That's right. I have already investigated these textures. They are just some ordinary natural textures. If he can really sense something from these textures, I can lick them smooth with my tongue." Another person said disdainfully.

"Haha, Junior Brother Zhao. I'll take note of what you said. This person is the first one to enter Taiyuan Immortal Mansion. Maybe there is some guidance in the bones he collected before. If he really realizes something, you can't go back on your word. Haha!" Another person who had also investigated the patterns on Ju Men before joked.

"Hehe, Senior Brother Qi. How about we make a bet on this matter? If this kid's work is in vain, Senior Brother Qi will lend me your mid-grade spiritual furnace for three months, how about that?" Junior Brother Zhao said with a turn of his eyes.

"Haha, borrowing the alchemy furnace is a small matter, but it is a bit difficult to lick the patterns on this huge door smooth with your tongue!" Senior Brother Qi laughed.

……

When Senior Brother Qi and Junior Brother Zhao were betting with each other, some of the cultivators looked at Fang Han thoughtfully. After a while, someone imitated Fang Han and sat cross-legged under the giant door, locking onto a pattern on the door with their divine thoughts and began to sense it.

Seeing this, Junior Brother Zhao couldn't help but laugh softly, "There are always fools, but today there are especially many!"

Senior Brother Qi suddenly pulled Junior Brother Zhao and shouted in a low voice: "Are you courting death? Haven't you seen that some people in Taiyi Sect have also begun to gain enlightenment?"

Junior Brother Zhao shrank his neck upon hearing this and whispered, "I couldn't help but speak quickly, but..."

Senior Brother Qi knew that Junior Brother Zhao was always outspoken, and seeing that he was still about to talk nonsense, he quickly interrupted him and said, "Stop it, let's go somewhere else!" Then he pulled Junior Brother Zhao and walked quickly in another direction.

This square of Taiyuan Immortal Mansion was not covered at all. As more and more people came to meditate on Fang Han's side, it also attracted more people's attention. Soon, there were nearly a hundred people following Fang Han to meditate, and hundreds of people gathered outside, quietly watching Fang Han and others' enlightenment.

At this time, everyone who entered Taiyuan Immortal Mansion had already realized that they could not sense the vitality of heaven and earth in Taiyuan Immortal Mansion, and they also knew that the speed of time in Taiyuan Immortal Mansion was different from that in the outside world. If no one could break this situation, then the fate of the more than 5,000 people who entered Taiyuan Immortal Mansion this time was also imaginable. Therefore, these hundreds of people looked at Fang Han and others quietly, with a glimmer of expectation in their eyes. They all hoped that Fang Han and others could really succeed in their perception and solve the current difficult situation. No one made a strange sound.

Fang Han saw that he had successfully attracted everyone's attention, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. "Yan, you can use the Nine Suns Holy Water to water the World Tree!"

After Fang Han finished talking to Yan, he immediately moved his mind, and the World Tree suddenly appeared in the Yellow Springs Map. Yan worriedly said, "You deliberately led people to comprehend the Stone Gate. Aren't you afraid that someone will be jealous and make you the target of public criticism?"

"It's okay!" Fang Han said calmly, "It's inevitable that some people will be jealous, but if I am the only one who can bring them vitality, and I am willing to provide them with vitality, will they dare to let me die? Moreover, once the World Tree overflows with immortal vitality, the immortal in the depths of Taiyuan Immortal Mansion will immediately sense it. Immortals also need vitality to nourish themselves."

Yan saw that Fang Han had already figured it out, so he didn't say anything more. With a wave of his hand, a bowl magic weapon flew out from the dense evil spirit of the Yellow Springs Map. The bowl immediately grew larger after the evil spirit flew out, and the World Tree flew over the bowl in a flash, and three thousand roots immediately penetrated into the bowl.

This bowl was a space magic weapon that Yan had looted from the resentful god. It was filled with nearly one million kilograms of Nine Yang Holy Water. The World Tree plunged into the bowl and immediately trembled violently, and its surface instantly lit up with dazzling light. The tree swayed happily, and the leaves rubbed against each other, making a series of rustling sounds. In just a few breaths, the World Tree had grown more than ten centimeters taller, visible to the naked eye.

After about an incense stick of time, the World Tree had already sucked up nearly a million kilograms of Nine Yang Holy Water in the bowl. The World Tree had doubled in size, and now it had grown into a tree that was five meters tall and thick enough for three people to hug.

Fang Han immediately recalled the World Tree from the Yellow Springs Map into his body. At the same time, the small fate rune in his mind suddenly moved, casting a layer of gray mist on the World Tree. Fang Han then released his suppression of the World Tree.

When absorbing the Nine Sun Holy Water, the World Tree was ready to break through the space and absorb the vitality of the immortal world. However, Fang Han was afraid that someone would spy on the World Tree and spread the news to some old antiques in the immortal world, so he suppressed the World Tree.

Now with the cover of the Small Fate Art, Fang Han no longer had any scruples. Not only did he no longer suppress the World Tree, but he also used all his strength to drive the World Tree to break through the space barrier of Taiyuan Immortal Mansion to absorb the vitality of the immortal world.

The people outside had been waiting for Fang Han and the others for a long time, and the anticipation in their eyes gradually dimmed as time passed. Just as everyone was patiently waiting, they saw a strong and high-quality vitality suddenly emanating from the area within a foot around Fang Han.

The eyes of the onlookers suddenly lit up, and several figures rushed towards Fang Hanfei. But a stern shout came from the crowd: "How dare you, if you disturb this Taoist fellow's enlightenment, our Taiyi Sect will definitely..."

The Taiyi Sect cultivator hadn't finished speaking yet, and the figures were still more than ten feet away from Fang Han. Suddenly, a vortex appeared under Fang Han, and Fang Han's figure was sucked into the vortex in the blink of an eye, and the vortex also disappeared.

When Fang Han reappeared, he was already in a bright stone chamber. The sudden change also frightened Fang Han, but Fang Han remained calm. After appearing in the stone chamber, he calmly walked around the stone chamber, but there was no one in sight and no sound.

Fang Han once again looked around and said loudly: "Since you brought me here, why do you ignore me? Could it be that you are not interested in the vitality of the immortal world?"

After saying that, Fang Han took a ray of immortal energy from the World Tree, condensed it into a round bead at his fingertips, and played with it with interest.

"Haha, my friend, you are so brave! You have a rare treasure on you that can break through the restrictions of Taiyuan Immortal Mansion and absorb the vitality of the immortal world. Although it is not much, it is extremely precious in this Taiyuan Immortal Mansion that cannot sense the vitality of heaven and earth." An old voice suddenly laughed in Fang Han's ears. After a slight pause, he turned and said cruelly: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill people to take the treasure?"

Fang Han heard this and smiled faintly: "Haha, if you want to kill people and steal treasures, why did you bring me here?"

After a brief pause, Fang Han played with the energy beads in his hand and said meaningfully: "Based on the speed of time in Taiyuan Immortal Mansion, Senior has been trapped here for at least tens of millions of years. Even if you get some immortal energy, it will only make you feel a little better, but it will not be of much help to you. And I already knew that you were trapped in Taiyuan Immortal Mansion, and I deliberately used the immortal energy to lure you to make a move. I wanted to negotiate a deal with you, a deal that is closely related to your future."

"Heh, little guy, you're quite interesting. I've been trapped here for ten thousand years, and not a single piece of information has been passed out. I think even my old friends thought I was dead, and you actually said that you knew I was trapped in Taiyuan Immortal Mansion. If it were my previous temper, I would have turned you into dust." The old voice continued calmly, "But it's too lonely to stay here for more than three million years. Let's hear what tricks you can come up with. If the story is good, maybe I can spare your life. Go on!"

Fang Han smiled faintly and said loudly: "Not only do I know that the three gates of Taiyuan Immortal Mansion are called 'Xuanpin Gates', but considering your current state, it seems very appropriate for me to call you 'Xuanpin Taoist'."

"Well, the little fellow really knows a lot. Yes, the magic weapon of Taiyuan Immortal Mansion is called 'Xuanpin Gate', and I have now merged with the 'Xuanpin Gate'. Calling me 'Xuanpin Taoist' is indeed in line with my identity." Xuanpin Taoist agreed.
