hat Fang Yu was capable of, that he could be so valued by her grandfather, Qin Wudao.Fang Yu walked to two meters away from Yang Jian and stopped."That man is Fang Yu Isn't he courting death How dare...Hearing this answer, Fang Yu looked at the seedling again.

The faint blue light surrounding the seedling seemed identical to the blue glow in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao Sword Spirit.

"Could it be that the first cultivated one... is related to the Heavenly Dao Sword" Fang Yu thought to himself.

At this time, the Heaven Sword Spirit was still staring intently at the sapling.

"You can like it all you want, but don't eat it," Fang Yu warned. "While I'm gone, this seedling is under your care. You need to keep an eye on it and protect it as it grows strong."

"Hmm..." The Heavenly Dao Sword Spirit wasn't sure if it understood, but it hummed in response.

Fang Yu stood up and looked at the Frost Tears beside him, saying: "You also help me watch over the Heavenly Sword Spirit, don't let it really destroy that seedling."

"That's alright, master. But there's no need to worry about that," Jihan Zilei replied. "Although the Celestial Sword Spirit is young, its consciousness is one with its master, and it would never do anything harmful to its master."

"That's good." Fang Yu replied.

After he stood up, Fang Yu realized that the absorbed cultivation had not only watered the seed... but also raised his own realm.

Up to now, his cultivation level has reached the 58,338th layer of the Qi Refining Stage.

If we add the previous absorption of those cultivators, it would be over five thousand layers... Then the realm enhancement brought by this star beast's inner pill is not as great as imagined.

is also only about five thousand layers.

But Fangyu believed it should be related to the absorption of that seed.

But now, levels of cultivation…are just numbers to him.

Every improvement, at most, is just that the true qi within the body becomes more substantial. Besides that... there is no obvious improvement or change.

As long as one is still within the Qi Refinement stage, whether it be ten thousand layers, twenty thousand layers, or a million layers... they are still in the Qi Refinement stage.

Fang Yu felt that if he wanted to make qualitative improvements, he had to break through the shackles of the Qi Refining period.

...which also relates to the limitations he faces...

When will the restrictions be fully lifted

According to Lǐhuòyù, reaching the ninth level of the Qīnkūn Tǎ and removing the Mingzhū from its peak... is the only way to fully unlock the restrictions.

It seems that breaking through the second layer is still out of reach.

To reach the ninth floor... It's hard to imagine what one would have to go through.

……

The moment Fang Yu's consciousness left the Universe Tower, he saw the gigantic star beast inner core before him, a mass resembling a fire ball... It had already transformed into a gray-white stone and vanished into thin air.

Although it's called a Star Beast Inner Dan, it's actually just the source power of a star, or the stellar power of a star.

To expend so much power and yet only cause the sprout to grow into a seedling.

How much cultivation would it take for that sapling to fully grow

"I still need to double my cultivation."

Fang Yu shook his head and returned to the Xingyu Boat.

Re-activating the protective barrier, he continued to race northwestward.

And at that moment, Fang Yu discovered that Xing Ran had already awakened.

However, he was sealed by Fang Yu with several talismans, and at this moment, he couldn't even speak a word.

Fang Yu turned around and lightly touched the forehead of Xing Ran with his right hand.

"Whoosh!"

Xingran's body trembled.

He looked at Fang Yu, his eyes wide with fear.

"Xíng Rǎn, is that you Hello there. I'll give you two minutes to wake up, and after that, you'll have to answer my questions." Fāng Yǔ said with a smile.

Xing Ran's eyeballs rolled, taking in the surroundings.

Immediately, he understood his current situation.

He was captured.

Bound to Fang Yu's star vessel, they were taken far from their original location.

Who could save him in this situation

Among the boundless expanse of stars, even the entirety of the Ninth Fleet is deployed. The chances of finding him are slim.

And the ninth chapter wouldn't go to great lengths to find him.

...after all, he was merely a middle commander.

For outside cultivators, this identity is already extremely high and should not be offended.

Within the alliance, a mid-level commander... actually could only control a troop of around two thousand cultivators. They weren't even considered a majority of middle-level commanders, they could only be regarded as low-level.

To initiate a large-scale search on such a massive scale, it would require at least someone of the rank of Grand Marshal or higher... only they would have the authority.

Therefore, Xing Ran has already made clear his current situation.

When it fell into Fang Yu's hands, he still had one path left to walk...

That is to obey everything Fang Yu asks and commands, doing whatever it takes to survive.

If one cannot even protect their life, everything else is meaningless.

"How are you feeling Woken up yet" Fang Yu looked at Xing Ran, smiling and asking.

Xing Ran stared at Fang Yu's face, inches away from his own, her heart pounding like a drum.

Fang Yu looks harmless, with a somewhat warm smile, but how brutal his true face is... He knows it well.

"No matter what you ask...as long as I know, I will answer you." Xing Ran took a deep breath and replied, "As long as you no longer hurt me."

"Oh You're quite perceptive, but looking at your face, I knew you were despicable and low-class." Fang Yu said, "You wouldn't deliberately lie to me, would you"

"Of course not... I don't want to die! You asked me questions, and if I lie, you only need to verify. I will surely die! I would never do that!" Xing Ran said.

"Well, then I'll ask the first question... You said you were from the Ninth Grand Division before, so I want to know, how many Grand Divisions are there in your Kaishan Alliance, and how much power is there in each Grand Division" Fang Yu asked with narrowed eyes.

"The Kaisan Alliance has a total of forty-one main bases within the Xuyuan Realm, ten in each of the east, west, south, and north regions, and one more in the center, which is a super-sized base." Xing Ran replied, "Each main base will have a large department as its deployable force."

"Therefore, the Kaishan Alliance has a total of forty-one major departments. And within each major department... there are generally more than a hundred elite cultivators. Of course, there are also beast spirits... but the number is not fixed, perhaps one hundred thousand, or maybe only fifty thousand..."

"Such a powerful force... it seems I underestimated the Kaisha Alliance before." Fang Yu said, "And you said you were an intermediate commander before. What level is above you"

“My superior is a High Commander, who commands a troop of 5,000 cultivators. Above him is the Grand Commander, who commands all high, middle, and low-level Commanders under him, and can also command all the forces under his command... As for those above the Grand Commander, they are Star-ranked Grand Commanders, from one star to nine stars... layer upon layer upwards.” Xinyan replied.

"Oh Then the so-called General Thunder God statue I saw in the trading area before... what star rank commander was it" Fang Yu asked curiously.

"Lord Lei Tian... belongs to the Eight Heavenly Lords, and he is also the only one of the eight Nine-Star Supreme Commanders." Xing Ran replied.

"How many Star Lords does the founding member of Kaisha Alliance belong to" Fang Yu asked.

"The leader...is the only Ten-Star Grand Marshal." Xíng Rǎn replied. Lin Baitai knew Fang Yu was coming to find him and was deliberately hidingOr… maybe there’s something inside the Land of Death Omens who doesn't want Fang Yu to find Lin Batian, so they keep misleadi...
