Fang Xian slowly descended the steps. The walls on either side were covered in dark green moss, shimmering eerily in the dim light.
The further he went, the weaker the light became, and the colder and damper the air grew.
A constant gust of cold wind blew past, and he could hear the roars of those imprisoned in the temples.
Fang Xian would inquire about the Human Emperor from each of these temples later.
For now, he needed to see what the "fruit" actually looked like.
He finally reached the bottom, where a massive seal came into view.
It emitted a ghostly blue light, cold and majestic.
The seal was covered in mysterious runes, their lines winding and twisting, freezing the surrounding air and forming an invisible barrier, preventing any outsider from peeking in or crossing it.
Fang Xian didn't understand formations, so he naturally couldn't break any seals.
But he knew only one thing: brute force can overcome all obstacles.
He slowly stepped forward, preparing to act, when he noticed an ancient book placed before the seal.
The cover was made of thick, dark leather, deeply engraved with strange symbols and mysterious patterns.
The edges were badly worn, revealing rough fibers, clearly indicating its long history.
Fang Xian curiously picked up the book; it had no title.
He gently opened it, the pages yellowed and brittle, exuding an air of antiquity.
The handwriting was exceptionally beautiful, and the pages were neat.
The contents were entirely information and annotations about "Burial Hill of Gods," and the author was none other than
—the Human Emperor.
Looking at such a thick book, it was clear the Human Emperor had thoroughly researched "Burial Hill of Gods."
Fang Xian simply took a chair from his storage ring and sat down to read slowly.
He read for three days and three nights.
"Snap!"
Fang Xian closed the book; with his extraordinary comprehension, he had finally mastered all its contents.
This book is the culmination of years of painstaking research by the Human Emperor at the "Burial Hill of Gods," revealing his complete understanding of the site.
It not only contains a method to break the seal of the "Burial Hill of Gods," but also the Human Emperor's years of research and insights into formations—an extremely valuable treasure.
However, even knowing the method to break it, his limited strength prevented him from breaking the seal.
This, in turn, benefited Fang Xian, who gained access to the Human Emperor's years of experience and, relying on his extraordinary comprehension, instantly became a master of formations.
Such a precious book naturally led Fang Xian to store it in his "System Warehouse."
The Human Emperor leaving the book here was clearly intended for a destined recipient.
In this way, Fang Xian owed the Human Emperor a favor; if he encountered him, he would certainly lend a hand.
As for now, the task was—to break the seal.
What the Human Emperor couldn't do was no problem for Fang Xian.
Even the most talented person is no match for a cheat code.
Fang Xian looked ahead, his hands moving rapidly, his ten fingers nimbly tracing mysterious paths in the air.
With his movements, the surrounding energy began to slowly gather, forming visible vortexes of air currents that emitted a soft whistling sound.
He chanted incantations, each syllable containing a mysterious power, causing the dust on the ground to tremble slightly.
In an instant, a glint flashed in Fang Xian's eyes, and he thrust his hands forward with a powerful thrust.
A beam of light shot from his palms, striking the seal directly in front of him.
The seal was instantly enveloped in light, and the serene, deep blue sealing runes began to flicker violently, emitting a low hum.
The light and runes collided and merged, and for a moment, dazzling light and powerful energy fluctuations spread outwards, causing Fang Xian's clothes to flutter wildly.
"Crack!"
"Bang!"
The seal shattered, revealing the scene inside.
In the center stood a container the size of a human, its surface covered with intricate patterns, within which a faint light flowed.
Countless transparent pipes connected to it, extending in all directions.
Inside the container, a strange orb of light fruit floated.
Energy was continuously poured into the container through the pipes, allowing the fruit to greedily absorb energy.
It trembled slightly, exuding an unfathomable mystery.
This was the "fruit" nurtured for 100,000 years by a powerful being in a top-tier world.
It was recorded in the books of the Human Emperor. Through extensive inquiries and research at the "Burial God Hill," he learned that this "fruit" was called
—The Great Dao Fruit.
In the top-tier world, the function of the "Great Dao Fruit" was to grant the user "the power of the Great Dao."
In the Great Thousand World, the Human Emperor understood it to allow awakened beings to awaken again, pushing their profession to its peak.
As for the method of use, it was simple: direct absorption.
But there was a prerequisite: one had to possess
—A Supreme Physique.
According to the Human Emperor's speculation, a Supreme Physique was a physique unique to SP talents.
In the Great Thousand World, only the "Chaotic Divine Body" could be called a "Supreme Physique."
Other physiques not only could not be absorbed but would also be destroyed, ultimately dissipating into the world.
Fang Xian was helpless, because this restriction prevented him from returning the fruit.
After all, only he possessed the "Chaotic Divine Body," otherwise he could have mass-produced them directly.
However, thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel relieved. If just anyone's physique could absorb the "Great Dao Fruit," it would seem rather cheap.
Since he couldn't return it, Fang Xian had no reason to hesitate; he would have to use it himself.
The powerful figures from the top-tier world dared to set up this scheme in the Great Thousand World, so they definitely didn't return to the Great Thousand World through the matching mechanism of the "Extraterrestrial War."
After all, that would be too random and unstable.
They must have some way to return to the Great Thousand World again and retrieve the "Great Dao Fruit."
If that were the case, Fang Xian couldn't wait any longer, lest things change and he end up losing more than he gained.
Having made up his mind, Fang Xian flew to the container, opened it, and slowly took out the "Great Dao Fruit" from his hand.
Holding the "Great Dao Fruit," he felt no weight at all; it was light and airy, yet incredibly warm.
Fang Xian sat cross-legged, placing the "Great Dao Fruit" in his arms, and began to slowly absorb it.
He never expected that absorbing the "Great Dao Fruit" would take a full month without success.
During this time, Lucifer, worried about him, arrived early at the lowest level to guard Fang Xian.
A month and a half later, when the "Great Dao Fruit" in Fang Xian's arms had completely disappeared, he finally opened his eyes slightly.
At that moment, he felt incredibly refreshed.
This was the feeling of awakening again?
He eagerly opened his interface to see how his "Contract Master" status differed from before.
Good heavens, this is outrageous! This is too
—powerful.
