Chapter 669 Demon Lord, Take My Sword Strike

Along the way, beams of light converged from all directions in a continuous stream. It was a magnificent spectacle, a vast and mighty procession of multicolored lights that illuminated the sky and lit up the earth.

A Cloud Tower drifted in from the distant sky at an astonishing speed. It streaked across the firmament like a phantom and vanished in an instant, not attracting the slightest bit of attention from the cultivators in the torrent of Escape Lights.

Inside the magnificent, golden Cloud Tower, Fang Cheng and the four women leisurely sipped tea, showing no signs of exhaustion after the great battle.

"Where are all those cultivators heading?"

Beiming Cang Xue asked with curiosity, her beautiful eyes shimmering as she glanced at the torrent of Escape Lights in the night sky.

"They’re going to the Sealed Ancient Lands, of course."

Fang Cheng smiled slightly and briefly recounted the story of how a Spirit Immortal had descended to the Lower Realm ten thousand years ago to suppress the Demon Lord.

By now, his five Spiritual Mechanism Incarnations had also quietly arrived at the five Sealed Ancient Lands.

The Demon Lord’s left hand alone had been incredibly powerful. If he managed to free a few more of his severed body parts, he would become even more difficult to handle.

He was especially wary of the Nine Nether Magnetic Wind and Fire Divine Power.

From that recent battle, he had gained a preliminary understanding of the true strength of the Demon Lord’s incarnation. As long as his Spiritual Mechanism Incarnations could avoid getting drawn into close combat, they should be able to hold their own.

Fang Cheng was even confident that his "Celestial Venerable of Universal Transformation" incarnation, just like his true self, could slay the Demon Lord’s incarnation.

His Golden Crow Incarnation and the other three Spiritual Mechanism Incarnations, however, were slightly weaker in offensive power, not quite as sharp as a Tier Six Flying Sword.

During their conversation, all four women offered to help Fang Cheng refine the Demon-Suppressing Celestial Stele, hoping to purge the Celestial Dao Demonic Intent sooner so he could pass the Ninth Celestial Tribulation.

Deep down, the four women were all eagerly anticipating just how much Fang Cheng’s power would skyrocket after he achieved Nine Tribulations Perfection.

They chatted idly along the way, and by the time the sky began to pale and the morning sun started to rise, the Taixu Cloud Tower had arrived at the Heaven Crossing Hall.

At this point, only Dragon Elephant Wanderer remained in the hall.

Fang Cheng put away the Taixu Cloud Tower and entered the main hall with the four women. After exchanging some pleasantries with Dragon Elephant Wanderer, the latter handed over control of the Heaven Crossing Hall’s central Array to Fang Cheng.

Afterward, the old monk mounted his Five-Colored Divine Ox and hurried off toward the Sealed Ancient Land in the Mingxiao Domain.

Fang Cheng found a large mountain, unleashed a blast of Sword Qi to shear off its peak, and steadily set the Heaven Crossing Hall upon the flattened summit. Only then did he leisurely begin refining the Heaven Crossing Hall, which was a Pocket World Spiritual Building.

The Heaven Crossing Hall was the signature treasure of the Red Profound Association, and Dragon Elephant Wanderer had an ulterior motive for entrusting it to Fang Cheng.

This Pocket World Spiritual Building was divided into three Grotto Heaven Secret Realms. One of them was where the Demon-Suppressing Celestial Stele was being refined. It contained a Taihuo Vein that Dragon Elephant Wanderer had sourced from another World Heaven, making it a rare Artifact Refining Sacred Land.

The other two Secret Realms had served as the personal meditation grounds for the successive Heaven Crossing Hall Masters.

Years ago, Dragon Elephant Wanderer had suppressed his "master’s wife," the Night Queen, in one of these Secret Realms.

As Fang Cheng and the four women entered the Taihuo Cave Heaven, they immediately drew the attention of all the cultivators present.

Currently, there were over fifty Tribulation Realm Cultivators within the Secret Realm, and thirty-three of them were Spiritual Mechanism Incarnations of Mo Liushang.

Many of the cultivators who were originally here for Artifact Refining had already returned to the five Sealed Ancient Lands. Those who remained were all masters proficient in the craft.

"Greetings, Master."

Mo Liushang’s thirty-three incarnations flew down from the Demon-Suppressing Celestial Stele, landing in unison before Fang Cheng and bowing in greeting.

Fang Cheng glanced at her with satisfaction and smiled. "There’s no need for such formalities. How is the refinement of the Demon-Suppressing Celestial Stele coming along?"

Mo Liushang replied respectfully, "We are only lacking the final Divine Prohibition. Barring any setbacks, it should be completed in a little over ten years. However, after the Divine Prohibitions are perfected, it will still need to be nurtured by absorbing a massive amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi before it can be fully activated and wielded."

Fang Cheng nodded. Just then, Ascendant Dun’an flew over leisurely with the other Tribulation Realm Cultivators.

The Artifact Refining Master first glanced curiously at the women behind Fang Cheng, then turned to congratulate him. "Fellow Daoist Fang, I heard from Elder Dragon Elephant that you are the new Heaven Crossing Hall Master. Congratulations!"

The other cultivators also came forward to greet Fang Cheng and offer their congratulations, their expressions filled with respect.

These Tribulation Realm Cultivators all knew that Mo Liushang was Fang Cheng’s subordinate.

And this Spiritual Mechanic Female Cultivator, Mo Liushang, had long since made a name for herself throughout the Red Profound with her thirty-three unparalleled incarnations. Every sect in the world had heard of her, and all were filled with both awe and trepidation.

Furthermore, the cultivators present had just learned that this fellow Daoist before them, who had entered the Tribulation Realm less than a century ago, had already passed the Sixth Celestial Tribulation. On top of that, he had recently defeated an incarnation of the Demon Lord, making him the number one cultivator in the world.

With such accomplishments to his name, even the four peerlessly beautiful Tribulation Realm cultivators following him—Jia Yin, Feng Yan, Beiming Cang Xue, and Beiming Qingqiu—paled in comparison.

Fang Cheng announced calmly, "These four are friends of mine. From now on, they will be assisting you all in refining the Demon-Suppressing Celestial Stele. I will personally oversee the process from this hall to ensure the Artifact Refining proceeds without any interference from the Demon Lord."
