“What?!”
“This… That Fang Yang brat actually… actually broke through his cultivation realm in front of Zixiao Palace again?”
“Good heavens, why does this fellow always break through a realm for no apparent reason?”
“If this continues, won’t he soon Break Through to the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm and stand on equal footing with us?”
“To Break Through to the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm, one must comprehend the power of laws of heaven and earth. How could it be so easy?”
“…”
As Fang Yang broke through once again, he naturally attracted the attention of many great experts.
Looking at Fang Yang’s increasingly surging aura, they were so shocked that they once again began discussing him animatedly.
The three Pure Ones were both surprised and delighted when they saw Fang Yang breaking through.
“Dao Brother Tongtian, this… Fellow Daoist Fang Yang is breaking through again?” Daoist Fuxi stopped discussing the Dao and asked with a look of astonishment.
“Mm~!” Lord Tongtian nodded slightly.
Although he said nothing more, his eyes were filled with incomparable excitement and exhilaration.
That expression!
He seemed even more excited than when he himself broke through his cultivation realm.
Aside from Lord Tongtian, Laozi and Primordial Heavenly Venerable also exchanged a glance, each seeing the excitement in the other’s eyes.
Without a doubt!
As elders who doted on Fang Yang, his achieving another breakthrough was a momentous joyous occasion for them!
“Buzz!”
At the same time, the innate spiritual energy filling the sky continued surging wildly into Fang Yang’s body. His aura rose at a visibly discernible speed, and a terrifying, primordial wilderness-like presence spread outward.
“Boom~!”
After a long while, a barely perceptible muffled sound rang out. Fang Yang’s aura rose to its peak, and his cultivation made a single leap to the mid-stage taiyi golden immortal Realm. His dharma power was countless times denser than before.
“Little Bamboo, you…!”
Only after Fang Yang completed his breakthrough did Nuwa return to her senses. She looked at him with her beautiful eyes, as if she wanted to say something.
“That’s right, I… broke through again!” Fang Yang spread his hands toward Nuwa, his face somewhat fallen as he spoke helplessly.
In truth, he had already cursed the System ten thousand times in his heart!
He had merely obtained another heavenly dao fragment, yet it had actually rewarded him with another one hundred thousand breakthrough points, causing him to break through a realm again. It was truly a damnable thing.
Little did anyone know!
When Nuwa saw Fang Yang describe Breaking Through a Realm so casually, as if he felt no joy at all, she was filled with astonishment and bewilderment.
“It was the same last time. Why does every breakthrough seem so ordinary to him, or even make him feel somewhat depressed?”
Thinking this, Nuwa grew increasingly curious about Fang Yang.
Whenever other living beings broke through even a minor realm, they would be wild with joy, yet he seemed faintly depressed?
Just what kind of existence was he?
At the same time!
Haotian and Yaochi, who had been quietly guarding the great gate of Zixiao Palace nearby, naturally noticed Fang Yang’s breakthrough as well. Both widened their eyes, shock flickering in their gazes.
“Daoist Brother Fang Yang truly is the most interesting person. He actually broke through here again!” Yaochi stared with her beautiful eyes gleaming brilliantly and murmured with a radiant smile.
“That’s right! His existence is like the most dazzling light. Wherever he is, he can shine with resplendent brilliance and become the focus of the host of immortals!”
Haotian narrowed his eyes, boundless brilliance bursting from the slits, and also said in a low voice, “Moreover, the carefree aura about him and his casual attitude toward everything are even more inconceivable!”
“Hee-hee~!”
Hearing Haotian praise Fang Yang, Yaochi seemed delighted. Her beautiful eyes curved into crescent moons as she smiled.
Combined with her little-loli-like features and fair, scallion-white skin, her smile made her look as sweet and captivating as a porcelain doll that had stepped out of a painting.
…
“Tap tap tap~!”
At this moment, the Three Pure Ones and Fuxi also came over to Fang Yang and the others.
“Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Fang Yang. Your cultivation has advanced another step. If this continues, I believe it will not be long before Fellow Daoist Fang Yang catches up to us!” Daoist Fuxi cupped his hands toward Fang Yang and praised him with a smile.
“That’s why I’m so troubled!” Fang Yang returned the courtesy politely and replied with a bitter smile.
“Look at you, brat, acting so smug, and you say you’re troubled? With your rate of cultivation advancement, you’re still far from catching up to us!”
Upon hearing this, Lord Tongtian first glared at Fang Yang, then softened his tone and grinned. “However, if you work diligently at your cultivation, you may not be without a chance of catching up to us!”
Naturally, he did not know that Fang Yang was genuinely troubled!
He had only collected two heavenly dao fragments, yet he had already broken through to the mid-stage taiyi golden immortal Realm. Before collecting enough heavenly dao fragments, he truly did not want to break through a realm so quickly!
“Huh?!”
Suddenly, Fang Yang’s divine mind stirred. His peripheral vision swept toward the area beside Zixiao Palace, and he immediately let out a startled cry. His expression gradually grew excited, as if he had discovered some supreme treasure.
Following his gaze, they saw that beside Zixiao Palace was actually a primordial ancient formation. Formation runes flickered in and out of sight, appearing extremely complex; even a Daluo golden immortal cultivator might not be able to see through it.
Of course!
Not wishing to offend Dao Ancestor Hongjun, although the many great experts present had been extremely curious about that place since their first visit to listen to the Dao, none had dared investigate it.
It could practically be considered a forbidden ground of Zixiao Palace!
At this moment, within the primordial ancient formation where Fang Yang’s gaze fell, there was actually a familiar strand of hazy radiance flickering.
“Hahaha! A heavenly dao fragment! There’s absolutely no mistake—it’s another heavenly dao fragment!”
Fang Yang shouted wildly in excitement inwardly, while secretly making up his mind that he absolutely had to find an opportunity to take away that heavenly dao fragment as well!
Of course, the prerequisite was being able to enter the Ancient Formation!
Even so, after learning the whereabouts of the third heavenly dao fragment, Fang Yang’s mood instantly improved greatly.
Then, as time quietly passed!
The second lecture at Zixiao Palace was about to begin. The great gate of Zixiao Palace opened once more, and Fang Yang followed closely behind the Three Pure Ones and the many great experts into Zixiao Palace again, taking their seats in order.
“Buzz!”
Before long, on the Dao Platform at the very front, the figure of Dao Ancestor Hongjun slowly appeared once again.
Compared with last time, his aura had grown even more ethereal, as if he were about to merge completely with heaven and earth. His eyes were even deeper than boundless chaos.
Clearly!
Hongjun’s cultivation had advanced once again, bringing him another step closer to the elusive Heavenly Dao.
“The Dao has no form…”
After appearing, Dao Ancestor Hongjun did not bother with what the many great experts might say. He simply began preaching the dao on his own, and the Great Dao he expounded this time was even more profound and mysterious.
A Saint’s Preaching of the Dao was naturally extraordinary.
For a time, falling heavenly flowers filled the hall once more, Golden Lotuses Surging from the Earth, while auspicious radiance drifted through the air, creating a scene of dazzling splendor.
