s war against the Southern Territories... half the plan had already been achieved.Whether the statue will appear, and how much power remains... can all be seen today.……At this moment, before the anci..."Mr. Fang..." Ji Rumei, standing beside him, asked with some concern.

"Miss Ji, you know Doctor Fang's style very well. He doesn't appear proactively, and we wouldn't be able to find him if he didn't." Tang Mingde said with a bitter smile.

Ji Rumei nodded and said nothing more.

……

After taking care of Ding Ran, Fang Yu didn't leave the area directly, but instead found a good spot nearby.

Before Fang Yu stood a waterfall, below which lay a spring of crystal-clear water.

...But beside the spring, there was a natural cave, empty inside. ...

Fang Yu walked into the cave, sat down cross-legged, and took out the immortal king's heart from his storage bag.

This heart, it's still beating violently.

Fang Yu pressed his right hand against his heart, and he could feel the powerful energy within it.

The Immortal King, using this heart, could infinitely reconstruct his body as long as there was flesh and blood.

The life force and energy of the Immortal King come from this heart.

This is similar to the principle behind the inner alchemy of demons, spirit beasts, and cultivators' golden cores.

Then, using the Soul Devouring Art, one should be able to absorb the energy within and transform it into spiritual energy.

Thinking this way, Fang Yu grasped his heart with his right hand and began to circulate the Devouring Spirit Art.

A vortex of light appeared above his right hand.

Soon, a pure energy flowed from Fang Yu's right hand into his meridians. It then circulated throughout his body for a week before being refined into pure spiritual energy.

"No problem."

After confirming that it could be refined into spiritual energy, Fang Yu's eyes lit up with excitement, and he sped up his absorption rate.

Now Fang Yu is only three layers away from reaching the Qi Refining Stage.

The distance between these three layers represents his tireless efforts and struggles over the past five thousand years.

In the situation where cultivation has been stagnant for a long time and Earth's spiritual energy is scarce, the arrival of this immortal king's heart is like sending charcoal in the snow to Fang Yu!

Fang Yu decided that if he could successfully break through to the 10,000th layer of the Qi Refining Period with this heart, he would erect a monument for the Immortal King in Huaibei.

After suppressing the excitement in his heart, Fang Yu focused on refining spiritual energy.

Time flies.

……

Northern Capital, Martial Arts Association Headquarters, Guest Room.

A white-bearded old man led Mo Xiu into the reception room.

Several high-ranking members of the North City Martial Arts Association were still seated on the sofa in the reception area.

"Master Mo, your leader has arrived. You should have told us in advance so we could prepare a proper welcome." Several high-ranking officials in the reception room stood up and said respectfully.

Mo Xiu glanced at the group of people, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

Before he came here, he made it clear that he wanted to meet the chairman.

Now, the chairman hasn't shown up at all.

"Master Mo Da and President Wang haven't been in Beidu this period. If you have anything to say, just tell us." The old man with a white beard smiled and said.

He is Pan Yushan, one of the vice presidents.

The two hundred warriors Mo Xiu had brought before were recruited from here.

"Master Mo, please sit down first and have some tea. We can talk slowly about anything you need." Pan Yushan said.

Mo Xiu stood there for a moment, hesitated for a while, and then sat down.

"By the way, Master Mo Da, how's things going in Huaibei How have the two hundred warriors you took with you been doing" Pan Yushan asked as if remembering something.

At this carefree attitude, Mo Xiu felt anger welling up within him.

... people over there in Huaibei are clueless, or are they just pretending to be ...

Although the Immortal Clan has been purged by Fang Yu now, the level of danger it posed was the highest in nearly a few centuries!

The way Pan Yushan speaks right now, it's as if he's effortlessly dealing with a pack of monsters!

"Vice President Pan, as well as the few others still working on this, I have just one question," Mo Xiu asked with a grim expression. "Do you all truly know the real situation in Huaibei"

Seeing that Mo Xiu's face was not looking good, Pan Yushan and the others present exchanged glances.

"Of course, we've been keeping a close eye on developments since receiving the report," Pan Yushan said, raising an eyebrow.

"What do you mean by that attitude" Mo Xiu asked without any mercy.

Pan Yushan's face changed, and he frowned and asked: "Master Mo, what do you mean by that I'll ask you a question too, has the matter in Huaibei been resolved"

" ... Solved." Mo Xiu replied.

"Couldn't that just work Since it was solved so easily, it wouldn't be a big deal. Why are you getting so worked up, Master Mo" Pan Yushan retorted.

"Humph!"

Mo Xiu's heart was filled with anger, he coldly snorted and stood up, waving his sleeve, glaring at Pan Yushan, and said in a deep voice, "Do you think we resolved this easily! Do you know..."

"I told you, I know," Pan Yushan interrupted Mo Xiu and said.

Mo Xiu's expression changed, he looked at Pan Yushan, nodded, and walked towards the door of the reception room.

"Vice President Pan, I'll just say one thing. Your actions, I see them clearly. I only warn you, this attitude of yours will eventually backfire!" After saying that, Mo Xiu pushed open the meeting room door and stormed out.

The attitude of these high-level people is already very clear, there's no need to continue the conversation.

He is still unclear what is going on.

Next time, he will go straight to the president and talk to him in person!

After Moxiu left, Pan Yushan's expression immediately turned cold.

"Master Pan, do you think he'll discover us..." the person sitting opposite him asked hesitantly.

"Rest assured, he won't know anything." Pan Yushan said coldly. "The Orderers organization is a completely independent organization and has no right to order us to do anything."

"If Mo Xiu were to simply give up, that would be fine. But if he insists on interfering, then we will eliminate him."

In short, our plan will not be affected by anyone else.

Everyone else in the parlor nodded.

“Speaking of which, those outsiders in Huaibei were truly disappointing. Dao Kong Shangxian asked us to help them because they wanted them to create some chaos... but they couldn't even last half a month before being dealt with.” Pan Yushan shook his head, his face full of disdain. “If we had known this beforehand, why would we have risked being discovered and covered up so many things”

"Speaking of which," Pan Yushan shifted his gaze to the person opposite him and asked, "By the way, have you figured out the identity of that person who dealt with the extraterrestrial"

"Lord Pan, I'm working on the investigation and it will take some time." he replied respectfully.

"Well, do it as soon as possible. I feel like this person is most likely the Fang Changsheng who killed Yu Liu in front of Shangxian in Dongdu, and even possibly the same person." Pan Yushan tapped his finger on the table and said.

Then, we shall take our leave first.

Several people stood up at the same time and said.

"Well, go ahead."

Pan Yushan looked at them, a smile on his face, but beneath his eyes, an unnoticeable red glimmer flickered.

……

Fang Yu spent a week refining the heart inside the cave.

Over the course of this week, Fang Yu only felt his dantian swell increasingly. The vast and boundless spiritual sea within him almost overflowed from his dantian.

Although the heart in Fang Yu's hand was not as powerful as a complete spiritual meridian, the absorbable energy it contained was still substantial.

For at least a week, Fang Yu hadn't absorbed half of the energy inside.

But at the same time, Fang Yu didn't break through to the next level.

He felt he had reached the ceiling of nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-seven, but he was unable to break through that barrier.

Fang Yu knew that this was definitely because the spiritual energy was not enough, not enough to break through that realm.

...Need to keep absorbing continuously! ...

The longer the time passed, the more peaceful Fang Yu's heart became.

Cultivation realm, this is a natural progression. The more impatient one is, the more likely problems will arise.

Before long, another half month had passed.

Over the past two weeks, Fang Yu felt his dantian nearing its breaking point twice. Just as it seemed about to explode, he would suddenly and smoothly break through to a higher level.

Now he has reached the 9,999th level of the Qi Condensation Stage.

Just one more layer! I'll be at the Qi Refining Stage's ten thousandth level!

The heart in its hand still held about one-fifth of its energy remaining.

Judging from the current expansion of Fang Yu's dantian, he has reached the ceiling of the ninth thousand nine hundred and ninety-ninth layer of the Qi Refining Stage.

Ahead, lies the final barrier!
