Chapter 418: Chapter 177: Fate Chart, Hidden Dragon Emerges from the Abyss

This was the first time he’d heard of the South Pole Immortal Palace.

The name of the ancient sect that old monster had mentioned back then was the South Pole Immortal Palace.

He hadn’t paid it much mind at the time, but now...

That old monster hadn’t just been spouting nonsense. It was a real, super-dominant power that had actually existed.

After all, Hong Miaojin would have no reason to lie to him about this.

Just because he had never read any records about the South Pole Immortal Palace didn’t mean they didn’t exist.

It just meant his own perspective hadn’t reached that level yet.

According to Hong Miaojin, the power of this sect was probably immense beyond imagination.

It once ruled the entire Southern Continent. Even after being destroyed for tens of thousands of years, the Martial Arts it left behind were enough to give rise to numerous Martial Dao Upper Sects.

To be named an Immortal Palace... its foundation surpassed others by more than just a little.

’What a shame I don’t know more about this Immortal Palace,’ Fang Xing sighed internally.

But even though he felt it was a pity, he didn’t regret getting rid of that old monster.

Even if that old monster had known about the so-called South Pole Immortal Palace’s ruins, who the hell knew what kind of dangers lurked there?

For a super-dominant power that could traverse the entire Southern Continent, even the slightest hint of danger could be fatal!

"You should still remember the Panwu True Divine Technique that Yu Linglong used during the Martial Dao Tournament, right?"

Hong Miaojin said, looking at Fang Xing.

Fang Xing nodded.

Of course he remembered the Panwu True Divine Technique. It was a Divine Level Technique capable of suppressing the Supreme Dao Sect.

Yu Linglong had relied on this technique to win the final victory.

Even though he had only watched from the outside, he could tell just how heaven-defying the technique was.

"The Divine Level Technique she obtained was an inheritance from a Martial Dao Great God of the South Pole Immortal Palace. To be precise, that Martial Dao Great God was one of its members. Furthermore, the technique has already surpassed the Divine Level; it’s a Half-Immortal Level Immortal Technique, which is why it could suppress the Supreme Dao Sect’s Divine Level Technique."

Hong Miaojin explained slowly.

’A Half-Immortal Level Immortal Technique is already this powerful... a true Immortal Technique must be absolutely heaven-defying!’

Waves of shock crashed through Fang Xing’s mind.

’It seems I have to go to the Armory. Maybe, after enhancement, I can get an Immortal Technique!’

Fang Xing made up his mind.

The Armory. He had to go!

If he could obtain an Immortal Technique, it would be worth it even if it cost him top-tier resources.

A Half-Immortal Technique was already enough to dominate. If he cultivated a true Immortal Technique and mastered it completely, his strength would be enough to crush any enemy.

Hong Miaojin looked at him and said coolly, "Don’t even think about a true Immortal Technique. They were lost to the river of time long ago. Perhaps some still exist in ancient ruins, but accessing those places depends entirely on fate and opportunity. Forget your current strength; even with my level of cultivation, there’s a chance of perishing if I went."

Fang Xing nodded.

A place where an Immortal Technique could exist would definitely be fraught with peril.

But for him, there was no need to take such a risk.

As long as he enhanced a Divine Level Martial Arts, he might be able to obtain an Immortal Technique.

As for ancient ruins and the like, whether he’d be lucky enough to encounter one in the future was a matter for another time.

He hadn’t even stepped into the Grandmaster realm yet. The road ahead was still long.

"Rest well for the next few days. I’ll notify you when it’s time to head to the Jade Capital."

"Thank you, My Lady."

...

About an hour later, Fang Xing left the residence.

The news he’d learned from his conversation with Hong Miaojin this time was quite shocking.

But as for what changes the future would bring, that remained to be seen.

In any case, he wouldn’t even consider it until he stepped into the Grandmaster realm.

He wouldn’t dare run around recklessly before becoming a Grandmaster.

The wider one’s horizons, the more dangers one encountered.

In this world, those who could kill him were everywhere.

The best strategy was to develop steadily and then overturn everything in one fell swoop when the time was right.

To sum it up in one phrase: if you’re not strong enough, don’t go looking for trouble!

A Martial Arts Grandmaster was merely qualified to explore the starting point of this world.

——

Upon returning to the Demon Suppression Mansion, Fang Xing ate something and then plunged headfirst into the Training Room.

Closing his eyes, his consciousness sank into the Celestial Court.

Within the Celestial Spirit Sea, two Divine Spirits stood tall.

By slaying Demon Kings and plundering their Demon Souls, his Vajra Guardian God had now also reached Perfection.

His second Divine Spirit had achieved Great Success.

As for comprehending the third Divine Spirit, he was still lacking and needed some time to form it through Alchemy.

But he wasn’t in a hurry.

Once his comprehension was complete, everything would fall into place.

Withdrawing his consciousness from the Celestial Court, Fang Xing looked inward at his own body.

In terms of Martial Arts, his progress had also been immense.

The Heart of Slaughter had reached deep purple and was already beginning to transform toward black.

He estimated that he would need to absorb the Life-taking Qi from at least a few more Top Level Demon Kings for the Heart of Slaughter to undergo a complete metamorphosis and reach the Black Heart stage.

’All that’s left is the Longevity Technique...’

Fang Xing opened his eyes.

He had already gained some comprehension of the Longevity Technique’s final realm, Broken Void.

Once he mastered this final realm, he would achieve complete Perfection.

That would likely be when he stepped into the Grandmaster realm.

He had originally planned to enhance the Longevity Technique after cultivating it to Perfection, but now, Fang Xing had changed his mind.

He would choose a Divine Level Martial Arts from the Armory to enhance instead.

The Longevity Technique could only be enhanced once at most. As a Top Level Martial Arts, even if enhanced, it would only become a superior Celestial Extreme Martial Arts.

But if a Divine Level Martial Arts was enhanced into an Immortal Technique, and he used that Immortal Technique as his core cultivation method, his strength would be on a completely different level.

Even just reaching the entry level would be enough to crush his opponents.

Calming his mind, Fang Xing checked his remaining Enhancement Points.

"One hundred twenty-five million..."

Looking at the Enhancement Points on the panel, Fang Xing felt a sense of fulfillment.

A month of hard work had yielded astonishing returns.

"Sixty-five percent..."
