Chapter 431: Chapter 181: Heaven and Earth Primordial Embryo, Martial Arts Grandmaster

After returning to the Observatory, Fang Xing went back to the Demon Suppression Mansion.

"My lord."

Hong Luan stepped forward when she saw Fang Xing.

"True Qi Peak. You broke through?" Fang Xing’s gaze swept over Hong Luan, instantly discerning her level of cultivation.

Hong Luan bowed. "I have you to thank for the Elixirs, my lord. Otherwise, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to break through yet."

Fang Xing looked her up and down. "Mm. You’ve just broken through, so you’ll need to stabilize your cultivation. Good work. I will also be entering seclusion for a while. You can handle all affairs in the mansion. If any outsiders come calling, just tell them I’m in seclusion."

Hong Luan nodded. She looked at Fang Xing and blinked. "My lord, are you entering seclusion to break through to the Grandmaster realm?"

"Mm."

Seeing Fang Xing nod, Hong Luan’s heart skipped a beat.

A Martial Arts Grandmaster!

She had always known Fang Xing would overcome this hurdle, but with the reality of it before her, a storm of shock still raged in her heart.

"Rest assured, my lord. I will handle everything and ensure you are not disturbed."

Hong Luan said, looking at Fang Xing with a serious expression.

Fang Xing nodded without another word and turned to leave.

As she watched Fang Xing’s departing figure, a glint appeared in Hong Luan’s eyes.

She clearly remembered Fang Xing’s level of cultivation when they first met. Now, he was about to ascend to the Grandmaster realm.

’A Martial Arts Grandmaster this young... you probably couldn’t find many in the entire Great Jing.’

Hong Luan thought to herself. She then snapped back to reality and turned to leave as well.

’Fang Xing is in seclusion to break through to the Grandmaster realm. I absolutely cannot let him be disturbed.’

Demon Suppression Mansion, Training Room.

Inside the Quiet Chamber, a wisp of sandalwood incense smoke drifted through the air.

It was Calm Spirit Incense, which released a fragrance that focused one’s mind and sharpened the senses.

Fang Xing sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, his eyes shut tight.

He turned his senses inward, observing his body.

The blood flowing within, the beating of the Demon Extreme Heart, the pumping that sent blood surging to every corner of his body.

Fang Xing could see every inch of his internal organs with perfect clarity.

The meridians, the joints, the sinews and bones nestled within his flesh.

It was all as clear as the lines on his own palm!

Within his Dantian, a vast expanse of Pure Gang Qi churned, filling every last inch of the space.

After a thorough internal inspection, Fang Xing focused his mind and began to circulate the Longevity Technique. Invisible Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi poured into his body.

He emptied his mind, instantly entering a meditative state.

Only the final layer of the Longevity Technique remained: Broken Void!

He had only grasped a portion of it before, but after studying the All Heavens Life and Death Wheel Immortal Technique, Fang Xing felt his understanding had deepened.

Understanding the Immortal Technique had deepened his comprehension of the Longevity Technique.

Fang Xing didn’t find this kind of cross-level insight strange at all.

After all, the gulf in quality between the Longevity Technique and an Immortal Technique like the All Heavens Life and Death Wheel was simply incomparable. 𝖿𝖗ⅇℴ𝑚

To master one method is to understand ten thousand!

Understanding a higher-level "law" also enhanced one’s grasp of lower-level "laws."

He kept his eyes shut tight, emptying his mind of all thoughts.

The circulation of the Longevity Technique grew faster and faster, noticeably quicker than his previous cultivation sessions.

The growth was slow, but it was definite progress.

A faint, glorious light from his Gang Qi enveloped him, covering every inch of his body.

He drew in and expelled vast amounts of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi. Faintly, from within his body, came a sound like the rushing of a great river.

SPLASH. It was like a great tide stirring the waves.

The Gang Qi wrapped around his entire body, drawing upon his Power of Mental, and his aura steadily climbed.

It grew deeper and more profound.

「Three months passed in the blink of an eye.」

A heavy snow fell over Qing Province.

The end of the year arrived.

Flurries of snow as large as goose feathers danced in the air, blanketing the mountains and rivers for ten thousand miles in a coat of silver.

For the Qing Province Observatory, these had been three very peaceful months.

Gone was the constant, heart-pounding fear of the past. For three months, there had been no further loss of personnel.

This wasn’t just true for the Qing Province Observatory. For the countless common folk of Qing Province, the changes this year had been nothing short of earth-shattering.

The Demons and Monsters had been pacified, the Evil Cults and Demon Sects eradicated.

Across the entire Southern Border, Qing Province—once known as the most dangerous region—was now, ironically, one of the safest.

The number of merchants traveling to and from Qing Province had also increased.

For the people of Qing Province, this was the first peaceful year they had known in a long time.

And the source of it all was the Qing Province Demon Suppression Envoy.

All across Qing Province, even the common folk knew the name of the Demon Suppression Envoy.

To the Demons and Monsters, he was a thorn in their side.

But in the eyes of the common people, he was a savior who had rescued them from the jaws of death.

Many households even had a Longevity Tablet dedicated to him, where they would offer prayers for his well-being.

Even within the Qing Province Observatory, Fang Xing’s reputation among the many probationary and Official Captains had already surpassed that of the Four Great Marshals. ℓ.

Their current peace was all thanks to this Qing Province Demon Suppression Envoy, known as the Iron-blooded Yama.

For the past three months, visitors had arrived in a constant stream, but not a single one had managed to see Fang Xing.

Even when the Four Great Marshals came to call, they too failed to see Fang Xing in person.

All anyone knew was that Fang Xing was in seclusion.

There was no other useful information.

Hong Luan had not revealed anything about Fang Xing’s plan to break through to the Grandmaster realm.

However, rumors had begun to circulate in secret.

After all, everyone knew the Qing Province Demon Suppression Envoy was a peerless talent. Not only was his strength comparable to a Grandmaster, but his cultivation speed was also astonishingly fast.

Becoming a Martial Arts Grandmaster was only a matter of time for him.

「Observatory, Demon Suppression Mansion.」

In the Training Room, Fang Xing sat cross-legged on his meditation cushion, his figure as still and motionless as a statue.

Suddenly, his eyes snapped open. It was as if a bolt of lightning had flashed through the room. His aura surged, and the very air within the Quiet Chamber was compressed by the force of it.
