"What's the situation with Elder Qingzhu?" Fang Yuan looked at the lamp with great interest.
Elder Tian Shuo was somewhat surprised that the Ancestor had immediately seen through the identity of the soul trapped in the lamp. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Replying to the Ancestor, this was done by Yu Heng. She believes that her son's death was caused by Qingzhu leaking secrets..."
"I see..." Fang Yuan smiled. "This lamp is quite nice. You should make a few more and place them in the hall for some decoration."
Elder Tian Shuo felt a chill down his spine. This was clearly a subtle reprimand! He forced a smile and replied, "The Ancestor is joking..."
"By the way, Ancestor, we have arrived. The treasure vault is just ahead, but all the protective formations are set by Zhang Xuanti. No one but him can unlock it, so we are unable to open it."
"No problem." Fang Yuan casually walked forward, and before him stood a massive bronze door, its surface covered with nine iron chains that intertwined, each chain pulsing with dark purple lightning.
Seven ghostly lights burned on top of the door, casting a grim and eerie glow over the entire vault. This formation, Fang Yuan recognized, was the "Nine Heavens Thunderfall Formation."
A formation set by a Heavenly Realm expert—at his Martial Saint level, it would be quite difficult to break.
However, it didn't matter… Fang Yuan's lips curled up as his figure suddenly vanished like a wisp of smoke!
When Elder Tian Shuo looked again, that dark figure was already inside the vault, without even disturbing the lightning seals on the door!
"This...!"
Elder Tian Shuo's pupils contracted. He had not seen how Fang Yuan entered the vault at all!
This deeply unfathomable Ancestor must have used less than thirty percent of his strength when dealing with Yu Heng earlier!
As soon as he entered the vault, a dazzling array of rare treasures filled Fang Yuan's vision: thousand-year-old blood coral, Xuan Ice Jade, and a glass pagoda…
However, Fang Yuan's gaze swiftly passed over these ordinary treasures that most cultivators would dream of.
He walked deeper into the vault until his steps stopped in front of a completely transparent stone wall. On the wall, inscriptions like dragons and serpents swirled, with each stroke carrying an immense meaning of creation.
Even after ten thousand years, the sharpness of the brushstrokes still made one's eyes ache—these were the words of the founding master of the Sun and Moon Sect, left as a method for breaking the world!
The moment Fang Yuan's gaze swept across the jade tablet, the *Good Deeds Sutra* in his mind suddenly emitted a brilliant light:
[Breaking the World Technique: Great Void Inner Landscape Technique (Uninitiated)]
Very well, the last Breaking the World technique of the Northern Region has finally fallen into his hands.
Fang Yuan's mind stirred, and millions of good deed points immediately transformed into a warm flow of numbers, continuously pouring into this technique.
[Begin consuming good deeds points to upgrade the Great Void Inner Landscape Technique!]
[After consuming 90,000 good deed points, you fully understand the cultivation method of this technique: based on the "Yellow Court Inner Landscape Sutra" 'storing the image of unity of observation', it integrates the Hunyuan Qi method of the Great Void Sect.]
[Viewing the human body as a miniature universe that carries the Great Void, it uses the "reverse flow of water" method to reverse the flow of vital energy and builds three inner landscapes within the body.]
[Great Void Inner Landscape Technique (Initiation)!]
"Hmm, with my talent, initiating this is easy. Now, it's time to activate the magic card fusion!"
With that thought, Fang Yuan immediately sat cross-legged. His entire body radiated Dao rhythms, and he began to deeply study the technique.
[You have mastered two rare Breaking the World techniques: the "Heavenly Sword Secret True Technique" and the "Great Void Inner Landscape Technique".]
[However, would a true seeker of the Dao ever stop here? You decide to defy the heavens and merge the two peerless techniques into one!]
The *Good Deeds Sutra* praises both techniques as rare treasures, so what will happen when these two rare treasures merge into one?
Fang Yuan was quite excited.
[After consuming 700,000 good deed points and sitting in contemplation for a thousand days, you have finally fused the two supreme techniques and created a path to the heavens that has never existed before!]
[Peerless Skill: Great Void Sword Hiding True Technique (Initiation)!]
[Using the Three Heavens of Great Void as the framework and the Heavenly Sword Secret as the coordinate, you have forged an unmatched foundation in the Dao, "Inner Landscape Cultivating the Dao, Apertures Hidden as Swords"!]
"Peerless skill?! Haha, wonderful, wonderful!"
As the *Good Deeds Sutra* was written, Fang Yuan's smile grew ever brighter. This triple fusion Breaking the World technique finally satisfied him!
Since that's the case, let's begin cultivation!
[Begin consuming good deed points to cultivate the Great Void Sword Hiding True Technique!]
[After consuming 100,000 good deed points, the Great Void foundation in your body roars into existence, the Martial Saint shackles shatter, and the Gates of Heaven open wide, you have ascended to the Heavenly Realm!]
[After consuming 500,000 good deed points, using the "Star Point Acupoint" secret method to activate the major acupoints in your body. Instantly, all acupoints resonate, and a sword net is formed. You have now ascended to the Fifth Level of the Heavenly Realm!]
After entering the Heavenly Realm, each small level difference is immensely large, as can be seen from the difference between Yu Heng and the Sword Pavilion Ancestor.
Both are of the Heavenly Realm, one at the Sixth Level and the other at the Eighth Level, but the combat power of the Sword Pavilion Ancestor felt far stronger than Yu Heng.
Of course, this theory only applies to other cultivators, but not Fang Yuan.
The Heavenly Realm he built has long surpassed ordinary standards. Even at the initial level, simply relying on the unmatched wonders of the Great Void Sword Hiding True Technique is enough to suppress ordinary peak Heavenly Realm experts!
There's no other way, this Breaking the World technique's grade is simply far superior to others!
[After consuming 700,000 good deed points, a Chaos Cave Heaven, transcending the Three Realms, is formed in your dantian. Your flesh and blood roar like thunder, and your true essence flows like an overwhelming flood!]
[The vastness of the inner cosmos you have forged surpasses all records in history!]
[You have ascended to the Ninth Level of the Heavenly Realm Peak!]
As the final line of the *Good Deeds Sutra* was written, the entire Sun and Moon Sect suddenly trembled. The resonance of the heaven and earth caused by Fang Yuan's breathing made the spiritual energy within a thousand-mile radius boil!
At this very moment—
Even without the *Fourth Heavenly Calamity*, just relying on Fang Yuan's body, honed to perfection, a single breath from him could turn Yu Heng's thousand-foot Dharma body to dust!
In an instant, a terrifying and overwhelming aura that made all beings tremble erupted from the Sun and Moon Sect's treasure vault. Its power had surged dozens of times compared to when Fang Yuan first arrived!
Outside the vault.
Elder Tian Shuo, who had been waiting quietly, suddenly opened his eyes. His old face instantly drained of color.
"This... this is the Ancestor's aura?!"
He quickly activated his divine sense to probe, but the moment he touched that aura, it was as if he was struck by lightning—his soul was shaken as though it would disintegrate!
Such power could only be found in someone transcendent, and probing it was like an ant trying to measure the sky. His entire soul was almost shattered!
A cultivator of such terrifying might… it seemed that even in the entire Northern Region, no one could compare to him...
"The Northern Region in ten thousand years… has never seen such a towering figure..." Elder Tian Shuo's heart trembled, and his hands in his sleeves twitched uncontrollably.
Could it be that this Ancestor of the Sun and Moon Sect has broken through the Heavenly Realm and reached an even higher level?
