Chapter 2 Divine Skill_4

"Did you save me?" As the corpse heard the noise, it turned around, glanced at Fang Han, and asked with a heavy gaze.

"So you're still alive," Fang Han steadied himself then replied calmly.

"I didn't expect you to be so calm. Judging by your appearance, you must be a servant. Most servants who find me usually report me to the authorities. You know, you could have been rewarded with a thousand taels of silver." The corpse looked coldly at Fang Han, testing his reaction, ready to strike if necessary.

"Better to avoid trouble when possible. Getting rewarded but also being targeted by others isn't a good deal. I found two treasures on you, and making a fortune in silence is the way to go. Since you're still alive, I'll return these two treasures to you."

Fang Han took out the Nine Orifice Golden Pill and the Jiaofu Netherworld Map that he found on the corpse. Being a servant at the Fang's mansion, his most crucial skill was to observe people's words and expressions to avoid offending the master and being unable to escape death.

This person before him was obviously an extraordinary figure, and Fang Han suspected that they could take his life with a flick of a finger.

"Making a fortune in silence...I, Bai Haichen, share the same sentiment. Which household do you serve?" Bai Haichen thought back to how he was hunted down after accidentally leaking information about obtaining the Nine Orifice Golden Pill and the Jiaofu Netherworld Map.

"I serve the Fang Family in Dragon Abyss Province," Fang Han licked his lips.

"A servant of the Fang Family?" Bai Haichen's expression darkened, but it soon eased up as he observed the footprints on the ground, "I suppose you too are unwilling to remain a servant. That's why you're secretly practicing martial arts here. The footprints on the ground are Fang Family's strength training methods, which you must have learned secretly. A servant stealing martial arts, risking committing taboo; it seems that you're an unscrupulous person."

"This person is so formidable. With just a glance, he knows so much." Fang Han felt that he had no secrets before Bai Haichen's eyes.

"Discontented, good... discontented indeed. A servant of the Fang Family... Fang Qingxue of the Mystical Realm..." Bai Haichen laughed coldly.

His face was charred and, accompanied by a cold sneer, it looked even more terrifying, like a ferocious ghost.

"You, a penniless and powerless servant, wish to master martial arts and stand out from the crowd. That's impossible. Training your body requires mountains of silver to nourish it. But, meeting me might just be your good fortune! I'll give you a chance to rise above others, as long as you promise to do a few tasks for me," Bai Haichen lowered his voice.

"And how will you give me that opportunity?" Fang Han asked cautiously.

"This Nine Orifice Golden Pill has incredible power, rejuvenating you and ridding your body of weakness. It will give you a solid foundation unparalleled to anyone else. I'll also impart to you advanced martial arts, ensuring your rapid progress. As for whether you can enter the Mystical Realm, that depends on your own luck," Bai Haichen sat up straight.

"The Mystical Realm? You can help me cultivate to the Mystical Realm!" Fang Han exclaimed in shock.

"You know of the Mystical Realm too? It seems that you've learned quite a lot," Bai Haichen took another look at Fang Han.

"I've merely stolen the knowledge. I know that the human body has ten realms, and the tenth is the Divine Transformation. When the body reaches its peak, the powerful physique supports the brain, generating Mana, with which various divine skills are cultivated," Fang Han recounted what he had heard from Giant Spirit Hand, Fang Tong.

"Correct, the human body's most mysterious organ is the brain, and no martial arts can cultivate it. It is also the source of divine skills," Bai Haichen said. "All I ask of you is to first accept me as your master; then, when your cultivation has progressed, find an opportunity to join the Yuhua Sect within the Fang Family, and be sure to learn the Feather Ascension Scripture. Secondly, kill Fang Qingxue!"

"The Yuhua Sect and Fang Qingxue, the young miss of the Fang Family!"

Fang Han was shocked once again. He knew that the Fang Family's ancestor was a disciple of the legendary Yuhua Sect's Immortal, who followed the Great Li Dynasty's founding emperor and conquered the world a hundred years ago. As for the young miss of the Fang Family, Fang Qingxue, she had always been learning the way of immortals at the Yuhua Sect.

"But joining the Yuhua Sect doesn't seem to elevate one's standing. To control the universe and conquer the world, one could become an emperor,"

Fang Han courageously blurted out these rebellious words, knowing that the more outrageous they were, the more likely he would gain Bai Haichen's favor.

"That's your vision? You're just a mortal after all," To his surprise, Bai Haichen coldly laughed at him. "Emerging above others truly means entering the Longevity Secret Realm after cultivating the Mystical Realm and becoming a Sect Leader of the Ten major sects of the immortal path! To control a sect is to command the universe and receive tribute from thousands of nations. In the eyes of the Ten major sects of the immortal path, the Great Li Dynasty, although vast and populous, is just a plaything. If the supreme Demon Emperor of the Devil Path and the Inborn Emperor were to disapprove of the Great Li Dynasty, they could extinguish it a hundred times over. The disciples of the Inborn Emperor, who rule the Wave Moon Dynasty, the Great Zun Dynasty, and the Great Beginning Dynasty, control countless kingdoms, none of which are inferior to the Great Li Dynasty."

"There are so many kingdoms in the world! Who is the Inborn Emperor that dares to call himself 'Emperor'?"

Fang Han was completely shocked.

As a servant in the Fang Family, he thought his vision was decent, assuming the entire world was part of the Great Li Dynasty. Little did he know that there were so many kingdoms and states in the world. Just how immense was it?

"The world is vast, the heavens are boundless, and so is the void. The world is only as big as one's heart allows it to be. I have no choice but to broaden your horizons. The Inborn Emperor is the supreme Demon Emperor of the Devil Path, coexisting with the Ten major sects of the immortal path for countless years. The emperor of the Great Li Dynasty may claim to live for ten thousand years, but can he truly live that long? The Inborn Emperor, however, can indeed live for ten thousand years! Of the Ten major sects of the immortal path, any disciple who has cultivated to the Mystical Realm and comes to the Great Li Dynasty will be treated as distinguished guests by the nobility, fearful of any neglect. Now that Fang Qingxue has cultivated to the Mystical Realm, she will likely be granted the title of princess by the Great Li Dynasty to maintain their alliance. The Jiaofu Netherworld Map I obtained is a magical treasure left behind by the Emperor Huangquan when he ascended at Netherworld Mountain, and it possesses limitless power," Bai Haichen looked at Fang Han as if he were a fool. "If you can enter the Mystical Realm, you can truly touch these things and enter the world of the immortal path. Otherwise, you'll spend your life struggling in the dynastic world, living as a worm. What a pity, I had the potential to enter the Mystical Realm, but just fell short. Enough, these are things to open your eyes; if you wish to touch these things, you still need to rely on the Fang Family and enter the Yuhua Sect first. Now, accept me as your master! I don't have much time left."
