Chapter 36: Mount Hakkō

ght up.Alas, three fellow cultivators, take care of yourselves.Although he had some acquaintances, it wasn't to the point where he would help them.Besides, the nine heavens are not something he can co...He wasn't fooling Gang Hu. After a breakthrough, cultivators usually have deeper insights.

Even the steel tiger knew this, nodding repeatedly.

"Good! Then let's wait for Fang-shidi to break through!"

"Then, he cautiously asked, “When will you break through, Master Fang”

Fang Chendao: “I’m going to the Eight Mountains to break through. During my absence, I hope Brother Gang can protect the Qifeng Holy Temple well. Especially my wife and Uncle Grandfather, they are just ordinary people, I don’t want them to be hurt.”

"This is fine!"

Steel Tiger patted his chest and said, "Fang, Junior Brother, just go! As long as I'm here! I absolutely won't let them get hurt in the slightest! And the sect also has regulations, no easy killing, this applies to mortals too. They might be bolder if no one sees what they do, but there's no way they'd dare to act recklessly."

Seeing this, Fang Chen also slightly calmed down.

Before leaving, he came to Tianyang Mansion to pay his respects to Qiumei and instructed her not to go out if she could help it.

Autumn Plum naturally nodded in agreement, and the old man did the same.

After finishing all of this, Fang Chen left Qifeng and went to Yzifeng.

Mount Youzi is the true center of Tiān Yǔ Shén Zōng. Just like Mount Youzi, it houses the Lingqi Pavilion, Shendan Pavilion, and Zangshu Pavilion.

As one of the three major cultivation holy lands, Baguashan is located in the back mountain of Youzifeng.

After crossing several hills, a black mountain peak loomed ahead.

The mountain peak is surging with power! Dark clouds gather year-round, lightning flashing incessantly. This is the legendary Mount Hakkō.

Fang Chen landed at the foot of the mountain. There was a vast clearing here, and the entrance to the Eight Heavy Mountains lay right here.

"Halt!"

At the entrance, a young man blocked Fang Chen's path.

A young man, about twenty years old, dressed in a blue and white robe, looked like a senior disciple at first glance.

He looked Fang Chen up and down, his eyes full of contempt.

Fang Chen clasped his fists and said: "This senior brother, I'm a newly inducted disciple. I have the opportunity to enter Baguashan for free once."

Immediately, he took out his disciple token. This was given to him by Meng Yao when she helped him move.

The young man, arrogant as he was, took the token and glanced at it, only to be taken aback: "Seven Peaks!"

"It was Fang Chen who said that."

The young man seemed to have thought of something, and coldly said: “Hand over your token and get out! Qifeng is already a ruined peak, it doesn't deserve to enter the Eightfold Mountains!”

Fang Chen frowned, this person was obviously targeting him and didn't want him to enter the Eightfold Mountains.

He said coldly, "The Seventh Peak is also one of the seven inner peaks and has the right to enter the Eightfold Mountains.

"I said you're not allowed in, and that means you're not allowed in!" The young man sneered. "Today is my shift, and I say you can't enter, then you can't enter."

Fang Chen stared at him, saying lightly, "Are you Luo Yun's person Or Yu Yuanwen's"

If I were to say who among the influential figures within the sect I had offended, it would be these two.

It's obvious that someone wouldn't intentionally obstruct something aimed at themselves for no reason. It's clearly Luo Yun or Yu Yuanwen who arranged this.

It's possible that the person in front of me is doing this on purpose, just to please those two.

The young man's face changed slightly, and he shouted, "What nonsense! Get out of here right now! Or don't blame me for being rude!"

The vision here also caught the attention of others, who gathered around one after another.

And among them were quite a few new disciples, just like Fang Chen.

Fang Chen's expression was icy cold as he said in a flat tone, "It's you who should leave. You're holding a feather duster as if it were a command! You really think you're something special! What about being a senior disciple Does that mean senior disciples can just kick people out whenever they want!"

The new disciples heard this and their faces showed surprise and anger. It seemed they had also been harassed by the young man before.

"You're talking nonsense!" The young man's face changed drastically, and he shouted.

"Bring the law here! See if I'm lying!" Fang Chen said coldly.

"That's right! Let the court of law decide!"

He took a spirit stone from me! Only then would he let me in!"

He also threatened me!

"It's simply outrageous!"

Many new disciples who had just joined were angry and stood up, ready to fight alongside Fang Chen against their common enemy!

When the youth saw this, he was immediately flustered.

Stifle the new recruits! This is a big pot indeed!

... he was indeed making things difficult for and forcefully collecting spirit stones from new disciples, which is something that can be investigated.

"Fang Chen, you!"

The young man blushed furiously! His veins stood out, but he couldn't utter a single word for half a day.

"Get out of here!"

Fang Chen said coldly: "I most hate people like you who are soft and cowardly. After entering the inner sect, you don't work hard to cultivate, but spend your days doing such sneaky things as stealing chickens and dogs. A person like you staying in Tianyu Shenzong is a disgrace to the sect, a stain."

Well said!

The new disciples applauded enthusiastically.

The old disciple looked at the young man with contempt and disgust, unwilling to associate with him.

The young man's face flushed red and white, his gaze cold and venomous.

He knew today he probably couldn't complete Luo Yun's mission. If things really went wrong, he would be the one who suffered the consequences.

But letting Fang Chen off like this, he was very unwilling, he could only send a cold voice transmission to Fang Chen: "Fang Chen, wait for me, Zhong Guan will definitely not let it go just like this!"

After finishing, he stepped aside to let way, but his expression was dark and gloomy as if rain were about to fall.

Fang Chen glanced at him but didn't care.

Under the admiring gaze of new disciples, he stepped into the Eight-Headed Mountains.

Zhong Guan's expression remained gloomy, and his eyes held a strong murderous intent.

"This isn't over! I won't be at peace until you're dead!" he hissed through gritted teeth.

The Eight Desolations have a total of eight areas for disciples to cultivate, divided into Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang.

It is rumored that there are other, even better areas in the Eight Peaks Mountains, but these are reserved for powerful cultivators of Elder rank and above.

Fang Chen had just entered the sect and was at the Gathering Spirit Realm. Naturally, he chose the lowest-level Yellow Rank area.

The west area is all connected, it's just that the entrances are not in the same place.

Upon reaching the Huangjie area entrance, there is an array entrance concealed by a mist. Pass through the mist to enter the true Baishou Mountains.

Fang Chen took the first step into the mist, and as he walked out of it, a surge of violent spiritual energy struck him!

Before Fang Chen could absorb it,

it crazily drilled into his body!

If it wasn't refined in time, it would cause immense harm to himself.

Fortunately, this is just the entrance. Fang Chen can still withstand this outburst of spiritual energy.

Fang Chen looked towards the yellow-ranked area. This was a desolate mountaintop, covering a vast expanse. At this moment, many new disciples were cultivating alone in various places.

Upon seeing this, Fang Chen immediately went deeper into the depths. He planned to find a secluded place to cultivate diligently.

That's not difficult, after all, the Huangjie area is still quite large.

Soon he found a small hillock, where there was a rocky cliff. Here, few people came to practice or disturbed him.

Fang Chen sat cross-legged, taking out the Yunxian Dan he won in the Qifeng assessment.

"With the Cloud Immortal Pill and the last drop of Sword Demon's blood remaining in my body, breaking through to the Innate Realm shouldn't be a problem."

"But this is just the most common breakthrough. Since I have these heavenly treasures, plus the Heavenly Dao Demon Bone and the Sword Demon Physique, I might as well try a dual breakthrough of both laws and body."

If you're lucky, you can even unlock pathways.

As its name suggests, the Juling Realm focuses on gathering spiritual energy. Once one's internal spiritual energy accumulates to a certain level, it can circulate throughout their entire body.

If it can operate throughout the body once, opening up a meridian, then it is entering the postnatal realm.

If it operates around the body twice, then it is considered the second level of the acquired realm.

As for the context, once a meridian is opened, it doesn't need to be opened again. It's considered part of the innate realm when another meridian is opened after reaching the Xiantian stage.

But a cultivator who has only opened one meridian is very weak, able to be nothing more than a stepping stone for geniuses.

The human body has a total of thirty-six meridians. If all of them can be opened and one enters the Zhouyuan realm, then they would be the most outstanding genius! The future is bright!

Even if they are hailed as geniuses, most people can only open eighteen meridians at most.

Those who have all thirty-six meridians fully open before entering the Zhou Yuan realm are almost non-existent.

Fang Chen felt that it was difficult for him to become the number one person in this divine eastern region, but opening eighteen or even more than twenty paths still gave him some confidence.

At the same time, the violent spiritual energy of the Western Zhou Dynasty once again started to want to invade Fang Chen's body.

The longer you stay in the Hakusan Mountains, the more intense the spiritual energy will feel.

A new disciple can at most only persist for a day in these Eightfold Mountains.

First, circulate the Qi of the Western Zhou Dynasty to impact the physical body. Then, circulate one's own spiritual energy throughout the body, pushing the physical body to its limit.

Such a breakthrough would allow one to reach the level of the Later Heaven realm while simultaneously achieving the first level of the Tempering Body Realm, resulting in a dual breakthrough of both form and spirit.

Such breakthroughs aren't a secret, but the process is incredibly painful. If you can't persevere, it could cause immense harm to yourself, even shattering your dantian.

Therefore, many people choose the general breakthrough, rather than the illegal double breakthrough.

But Fang Chen was not afraid. He had the Sword Devil's Physique, Sword Character Dao Wen, Yunxian Dan, and Heavenly Dao Demon Bones, etc. If he were to fear, it would be a waste of heaven's treasures.

So, he swallowed the Yun Xian Dan! He began his breakthrough!

> On the other side.

Zhong Guan knelt half-way before Luo Yun, his expression resolute.

Luo Yun looked at him and said faintly, "You really want to do this"

"This man shall not die! It is impossible for me to quell the hatred in my heart! I beg you, Master Luo, please agree!" Zhong Guan said with a ferocious expression.g time."Fang Xiaoyou, please come with me." she said.Fang Chen nodded.Three people went deeper into the City Lord's Mansion and soon arrived on top of a mountain.The peak was forcibly leveled by a pow...
