Eternal Life: I hold the door to eternal life

Any living thing will consume energy as long as it survives. Immortal cultivators are no exception. On the contrary, as the cultivator's cultivation level increases, the more energy they consume every day. In the world outside Taiyuan Immortal Mansion, the vitality of heaven and earth is abundant. Even if cultivators do not take elixirs, they can rely on absorbing and exhaling the vitality of heaven and earth to make up for their daily consumption and live without eating or drinking until their lifespan is exhausted.

However, the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion is isolated from heaven and earth, and there is not a trace of the vital energy of heaven and earth. If cultivators want to survive in it, they can only take elixirs containing rich vital energy of heaven and earth to support themselves. If the elixirs are exhausted, the more than 5,000 cultivators who have entered the magical secret realm of the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion will starve to death.

A cultivator being starved to death would be a joke outside Taiyuan Immortal Mansion, but in Taiyuan Immortal Mansion, a world isolated from heaven and earth, it was like a towering mountain, pressing down on the hearts of more than 5,000 cultivators in Taiyuan Immortal Mansion, making them dare not speak too loudly for fear of wasting too much energy in vain.

At this time, the more than 5,000 people in the square had long lost the excitement they had when they first entered the Taiyuan Immortal Palace. The more than 5,000 people were divided into three camps: immortals, demons, and monsters. They each occupied a place in the square, and they all sat quietly and adjusted their breathing to slow down their own consumption.

In the immortal camp, Xingyun Baby looked at a pill that was full of vitality in his hand with a sad face. Usually, such pills that replenish vitality are like candies in Xingyun Baby's eyes, and he has long been tired of eating them. But now, Xingyun Baby dare not squander them casually, because these pills can save lives at critical moments.

Just when Xingyun Baby was worried, You Shengqi and Qi Yuan had already walked slowly to Xingyun Baby. You Shengqi and Qi Yuan were both elders of the fifth level of the supernatural power in the Star Sect. They had average aptitudes, and cultivating to the fifth level of the supernatural power was the limit, and both of them had not much life left.

The Stars Sect wanted to explore the secrets of Taiyuan Immortal Mansion, but did not want to put its elite disciples in danger, so they took out some elixirs that could increase lifespan as rewards, so that cultivators like You Shengqi and Qi Yuan, who had no hope of achieving the great path but were unwilling to wait for their lifespans to run out, voluntarily entered Taiyuan Immortal Mansion to explore the way for the Stars Sect.

With Xingyun Baobao's noble status as the only son of the supreme master of the Star Sect, the Star Sect originally arranged for him to follow the cultivators with magical powers above the sixth level to enter the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion in the second batch. However, Xingyun Baobao was a young man at heart, and took advantage of the elders' unpreparedness to enter the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion in the first batch.

You Shengqi and Qi Yuan were the leaders of the group of disciples sent by the Star Gate to the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion. When they saw Xingyun Baobao appear in the first batch of disciples, they were terrified. But they knew that Xingyun Baobao would not follow their arrangements, and they were worried that Xingyun Baobao would be in danger in the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion, and they would not be able to afford the blame. They had to discuss everything with Xingyun Baobao and regard him as the leader of this trip, so as to restrain Xingyun Baobao and prevent him from doing whatever he wanted. Therefore, Xingyun Baobao became the leader of the first batch of disciples sent by the Star Gate to the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion.

When Xingyun Baby saw the two approaching, he waved his hands to cast a soundproof barrier and asked, "Senior Brother You, Senior Brother Qi, what happened? Is the life of that wandering cultivator saved?"

You Shengqi shook his head and sighed, "Alas, I fed him a pill. His life is temporarily safe, but his cultivation level cannot be maintained. He has fallen to the physical body level."

Hearing this, Baby Xingyun heaved a sigh of relief: "It's OK as long as your life is saved. If your life is gone, no matter how high your cultivation is, it will be useless."

"But this is not a long-term solution. Although the lower the cultivation level, the less energy is consumed, there will still be energy consumption." Qi Yuan said with a worried look on his face, "It has only been more than two years, and some independent cultivators on the Demonic Path have already starved to death because they have no elixirs to support them. According to the speed of time in Taiyuan Immortal Mansion, we have to hold on for at least five years. If we continue to waste elixirs on independent cultivators, I am afraid that our disciples will not be able to hold on until that time!"

Upon hearing this, Baby Xingyun's face darkened. "These independent cultivators are all family forces that have been attached to our Star Gate for hundreds or thousands of years, and they provide us with a huge amount of cultivation resources every year. If we ignore them now, who will be loyal to our Star Gate in the future?"

As the saying goes, like father, like son. Although Xingyun Baby is usually like a naughty boy who doesn't care about work, when it comes to big things, Xingyun Baby has some of the demeanor of the head of the Star Sect, can focus on the overall situation, and has his own judgment on worldly affairs.

Seeing that Qi Yuan and You Shengqi seemed to be hesitant to speak, Baby Xingyun said in a decisive tone, "There is no need to discuss this matter any further. Earlier, when I asked you to gather everyone's elixirs together and distribute them uniformly, these independent cultivators were unwilling but obeyed our arrangement and took out all the elixirs they had. Since these independent cultivators trust our Star Sect, we naturally cannot let them down and abandon them in times of crisis. Let's not worry about the Demon Sect, but take a look at the ten sects of the Immortal Sect. Which one has independent cultivators starved to death?"

Baby Xingyun showed off his power and spoke a lot of truths, then asked, "Is there any other news about the person who suddenly disappeared two years ago?"

"No!" You Shengqi shook his head.

Qi Yuan continued, "Not long after that person disappeared two years ago, the immortals and demons asked the Xiantian Demon Sect about his identity. Shen Tufeng was forced to reveal the person's true identity. According to Shen Tufeng, the person's name is Han Fang, and he is a casual cultivator who has just broken through the third level of the magical power realm. However, for some reason, he is highly valued by the Xiantian Demon Sect's Demon Marshal Ying Tianqing. The reason why Han Fang was able to enter the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion with the Xiantian Demon Sect's disciples was all because of the arrangement of Demon Marshal Ying Tianqing."

At this point, You Shengqi took over the conversation and continued, "Don't trust Shen Tu Feng's words. Han Fang's origin is mysterious. I have inquired from many sources, but no one has ever heard of his name or seen him before. He entered Taiyuan Immortal Mansion and first collected a pile of bones. Then he was led away by a force from Taiyuan Immortal Mansion. If this Tu Fang was not a method arranged by the Demonic Path in advance, then he got some guidance from the pile of bones. Otherwise, it would never be like this!"

Upon hearing this, Baby Xingyun raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, "On this trip to Taiyuan Immortal Mansion, only Yuhua Sect did not participate. Han Fang... Fang Han! Could it be that this Han Fang is Brother Fang Han in disguise? Is he the person secretly arranged by Yuhua Sect to enter Taiyuan Immortal Mansion?"

Thinking of this, Baby Xingyun felt it was too incredible. When Fang Han was on Wangui Immortal Island, he had just broken through the second level of the True Yuan Realm. It was impossible for him to break through to the third level of the Yuan Gang Realm so quickly. Even if Fang Han was really talented and could break through to the Yuan Gang Realm so quickly, if Yuhua Sect secretly arranged people to enter Taiyuan Immortal Mansion, they would definitely not arrange for a person with the third level of the Divine Power to come in. You have to know that among the first batch of cultivators who entered Taiyuan Immortal Mansion, there were nearly a hundred strong people in the fifth level of the Divine Power Heavenly Man Realm. In the eyes of nearly a hundred strong people in the Heavenly Man Realm, a cultivator in the Yuan Gang Realm was no different from an ant.

At the same time, several leaders of the Eight Sects of the Demonic Path gathered together again and surrounded Shentu Feng of the Xiantian Demon Sect in the middle.

Fang Mingxuan of the Tianjue Demon Sect, who was the scholar who mocked the immortals and demons before, spoke first: "Fellow Daoist Shen, now the independent cultivators of various branches of our Demon Sect have starved to death due to the lack of elixirs. It has come to this point, does the Xiantian Demon Sect still want to cherish its own treasures and continue to hide Han Fang? Why don't you invite fellow Daoist Han Fang out and give us some advice?"

"Yes, Brother Shen, please invite Fellow Daoist Han Fang out. We, the seven sects of the Demonic Path, have always been of the same blood. Fellow Daoist Shen, please don't let this matter make us feel resentful towards the Xiantian Demonic Sect."

"That's right, Brother Shen, you should hand over the Han side!"

"..."

The people of the demonic path are inherently selfish, greedy, and extremely suspicious. Although Shentu Feng had already explained Fang Han's origins, he knew that his explanation was too pale and not enough to convince people. Before, no one had died because of the isolation of the heaven and earth's vitality by the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion, and everyone didn't think much of it. Now, seeing that many lives were starved to death because of the lack of heaven and earth's vitality, everyone could no longer hold back and forced Shentu Feng to come.

Shentu Feng was also very depressed at this time, but he knew very little about Fang Han, so even if he wanted to explain to everyone, he had no idea where to start. But if he didn't give everyone a satisfactory explanation, the Xiantian Demon Sect would become the target of public criticism. Not to mention that the immortals and demons were still around, even if the other sects of the demon sect joined forces to snatch the Xiantian Demon Sect's elixirs in order to survive in Taiyuan Immortal Mansion, the Xiantian Demon Sect would not be able to resist.

Just as Shentu Feng was racking his brains for a countermeasure, the three giant gates standing in the square suddenly shone brightly, and a sealing force suddenly poured out from the giant gates, sweeping across all the monks in the square without exception.

It seemed as if time had stopped in the square. More than 5,000 monks all maintained the expressions and postures of the previous second, and no one could move.

After a few breaths, a vortex of energy suddenly appeared on the huge gate, and a figure slowly emerged from the vortex. Soon Fang Han appeared in the square again.

Fang Han looked at the more than 5,000 monks who were like sculptures in the square with a look of excitement, and said jokingly: "Senior Xuanpin, you used the sealing method to suppress more than 5,000 monks at once. Is it very strenuous?"

"Haha! Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Fang Han!" The vicissitudes and ethereal voice of Taoist Xuanpin seemed to sound from all directions of the square at the same time: "This is the Great Sealing Technique among the Three Thousand Great Daos. With my strength, sealing thousands of ants in the Divine Power Secret Realm is as easy as eating and drinking water. Although I am suppressed by the formation of Taiyuan Immortal Mansion and can only exert 10% of my strength, the cultivators below the third level of the Longevity Secret Realm cannot escape the suppression of my Great Sealing Technique. Although the Great Sealing Technique seals all their thoughts and perceptions, it also seals their life essence in the body, and it will not leak out at all. They are lucky in disguise, and no longer have to worry about the consumption of life essence and being starved to death."

“Haha, luckily Senior Xuanpin knows the Great Sealing Technique, which allowed them to save their lives. They really should learn from Senior!” Fang Han said with a smile, and then Han Sifang bowed and said, “Dear fellow Taoists, today I asked Senior Xuanpin to help you all save your lives in Taiyuan Immortal Mansion. But I am short of money, and I don’t have anything to repay Senior Xuanpin’s kindness, so I will use the treasures in your storage instruments to thank you, hehe!”

Fang Han smiled complacently and said, "Yan, do it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Yellow Springs Map came out of Fang Han's body. Yan only showed half of his body on the Yellow Springs Map and looked around. He complained excitedly: "Ha ha ha ha, more than 5,000 people, I have to be busy for a while!"

Before he finished speaking, the Yellow Springs Map had already expanded to a width of over a hundred feet. Endless yellow fog poured out of the Yellow Springs Map, covering all the more than five thousand cultivators in the field. After about an incense stick of time, the yellow fog slowly returned to the Yellow Springs Map. However, the people in the field were the same as before, without any change.

"How was the harvest?" Fang Han asked.

"Hehe, not bad! It's enough for you to improve your cultivation..."

Fang Han also smiled heartily when he heard this, and suddenly jumped up, disappearing again in the vortex on the giant gate.

After Fang Han signed the "Soul Contract" with Taoist Xuanpin, Taoist Xuanpin immediately released his own understanding of the Dao and allowed Fang Han to comprehend it on his own. This understanding lasted for Fang Han for two years.

In two years, Fang Han traveled back and forth in the long river of Taoist Xuanpin's Dao three times. Not only did he remember Taoist Xuanpin's insights into the Dao firmly in his heart, but he also sorted out a set of his own cultivation experiences.

Afterwards, Fang Han immediately began to verify his own cultivation experience with his own cultivation. Fang Han started from the first level of the physical body, verifying it bit by bit, and immediately adjusted it when he found any mistakes or omissions. In two years, Fang Han had walked the path of cultivation again from the first level of the physical body.

Fang Han's foundation was consolidated once again. He had just broken through to the fourth level of the magical power, Yin Yang Realm. Not only did it stabilize completely, but his overall strength also rose with it, completely surpassing the power of 100,000 giant dragons and reaching the terrifying level of 120,000 giant dragons. In other words, Fang Han's overall strength at the fourth level of the magical power, Yin Yang Realm, has completely surpassed the average cultivator at the sixth level of the magical power, the Return to One Realm.

At this point, Fang Han's cultivation has reached the peak of the fourth level of supernatural power. The next step is to evolve the supernatural power he cultivated into a supernatural power array and break through to the fifth level of supernatural power.

However, the cultivation resources that Fang Han had accumulated before had already been used up due to Fang Han's continuous breakthroughs in cultivation. Although the World Tree could absorb the vitality of the immortal world, it was restricted by the formation of the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion. The vitality of the immortal world that the World Tree absorbed every day was not enough to supply Fang Han's daily consumption, and the remaining vitality was not enough to refine even a hundred Nascent Soul Pills.

Fang Han wanted to continue to improve his cultivation, but he had no resources to cultivate. So he set his sights on the more than 5,000 cultivators in the field. With so many cultivators, they naturally had a lot of natural treasures. These treasures were usually rare items used to improve cultivation, but now they were used by these cultivators to prolong their lives.

This behavior was undoubtedly a waste of natural resources in Fang Han's eyes, so Fang Han immediately decided to make full use of these natural treasures. Therefore, there was a scene where Taoist Xuanpin sealed the monks in the square, and Yan plundered all the storage instruments of these monks.
