Chapter 1476 - Chapter 1476 Chapter 1574 Entering Minor Longevity

Chapter 1476: Chapter 1574: Entering Minor Longevity Chapter 1476: Chapter 1574: Entering Minor Longevity Fang Lin ultimately heeded the advice of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven and decided to stay within Ancient Demon Ridge for the time being, acclimatizing to his brand-new body while advancing his Cultivation to the Minor Longevity realm.

This body was fundamentally at the brink of Minor Longevity, merely a step away.

Now that Fang Lin’s soul had returned to his body, he only needed to practice his cultivation diligently, and it wouldn’t take much time for everything to naturally fall into place.

Since Fang Lin’s soul was that of the former Pill Sovereign who had already experienced the Minor Longevity realm in his past life, he would not encounter any bottlenecks or thresholds.

The Great Sage Equal to Heaven returned to Fang Lin his Nine Palace Bag, with all its contents intact.

The contents of the Nine Palace Bag were secondary; what was crucial were the ancient spear and several other treasures. Losing them would have been significantly detrimental.

At this moment, Fang Lin was sitting with his legs crossed beneath the Sacred Tree, cultivating with the power of the Sacred Tree.

Since this body was born from within the Sacred Tree, Fang Lin felt no rejection towards the power of the Sacred Tree whatsoever; this was unlike the last time he absorbed the tree’s power, when the power and his body were completely incompatible, causing Fang Lin immense pain for a long duration.

Now, absorbing the power of the Sacred Tree was as simple and comfortable for Fang Lin as eating and drinking.

If other Demon Beasts of the Demon Clan saw this scene, they would surely be driven mad with envy.

Their revered Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree had now become a place exclusively used by Fang Lin, a member of the Human Clan, for his cultivation, which was infuriating even to think about.

While cultivating beneath the Sacred Tree, Fang Lin always felt an intriguing sensation, as if something within the tree was resonating with him.

This resonance was unique, almost like a blood connection.

It was only after asking the Great Sage Equal to Heaven that he learned he had reshaped his body through the Kylin Demon Bone, and the True Dragon Demon Bone was awakened by a trace of vitality by the Sacred Tree and continued to be nourished within it.

Hearing that the True Dragon Demon Bone had awakened vitality surprised Fang Lin greatly; although this hint of vitality seemed trivial, it was the vitality of a True Dragon, and with a piece of Dragon Bone still present and nourished by the power of the Sacred Tree, even Fang Lin, whose body was once obliterated, was capable of reshaping his body. Could this bone also possibly give birth to a new True Dragon?

Reason told Fang Lin that such a thing was impractical. True Dragons had been extinct for countless years, and even in his past life, the last True Dragon had been slain by his own father.

This Dragon Bone, with just this hint of vitality, could lead to the rebirth of a True Dragon? Was that even possible?

However, deep inside, Fang Lin was quite eager for the birth of a True Dragon because the Great Sage Equal to Heaven had told Fang Lin that due to the bone having been refined by Fang Lin in the past, and resonating with Fang Lin during the reshaping of his body, they both retained traces of each other’s essence.

In this way, Fang Lin’s presence marked the Dragon Bone, and if a True Dragon were indeed born, Fang Lin would have a connection with it.

Though he was unsure how deep this connection might be, it presumably wasn’t anything harmful.

Moreover, there was another point; to truly bring a True Dragon back into the world, a Dragon Soul was necessary.

Just forming the physical body of a True Dragon without a soul would merely be an empty shell, ultimately failing to revive the True Dragon.

And in this world, where could a Dragon Soul still exist? They were long gone.

It can be said that even if this Dragon Bone indeed cultivated a new True Dragon, it would still just be a soulless dragon body.

Day by day, Fang Lin cultivated beneath the Sacred Tree, each day feeling the dragon’s essence within the tree growing stronger, reaching a truly terrifying level.

And that subtle resonance was also growing increasingly intense.

Even so, while cultivating, Fang Lin would sporadically feel as though he was in another body, not that of a human, but some kind of supreme creature.

However, this feeling always flickered by in a flash, and Fang Lin did not have the time to sense it in detail; otherwise, he could perceive much more.

One month later, Fang Lin finally smoothly stepped into the Minor Longevity Realm.

With his cultivation significantly increased, Fang Lin also obtained a much longer lifespan, and it was quite astonishing for someone of his age to step into the realm of the Minor Long-lived Ones.

In the eyes of most martial artists, even those with good talent would need one to two thousand years to step into the Minor Longevity Realm.

Those who did so in a few hundred years are already considered unparalleled geniuses.

Yet in this life Fang Lin was not even thirty years old, and he had already reached such cultivation; saying this might leave all martial artists in disbelief, unable to accept it as true.

“Now that I have stepped into the Longevity Realm, it’s time for me to leave here and see her.” After his breakthrough, Fang Lin was even more eager to meet Dugu Nian.

“Not yet,” the Great Sage Equal to Heaven leisurely said.

Fang Lin frowned slightly: “Why not?”

The Great Sage Equal to Heaven pointed at the Sacred Tree and said, “Haven’t you felt it? A True Dragon is about to be born.”

“What does the birth of a True Dragon have to do with me?” Fang Lin curled his lips.

The Great Sage Equal to Heaven looked at Fang Lin and said, “Of course it’s related, that True Dragon is bred from your Demon Bone, anything unpredictable might happen when it is born, and your presence here might be of great use.”

Fang Lin helplessly said, “You, being a Demon Saint, should be able to subdue even a True Dragon, right?”

“Kid, you really have no ambition. Would you miss such a tremendous opportunity just for a girl?” the Great Sage Equal to Heaven said indifferently.

Fang Lin huffed, but these words did make him hesitate.

Indeed, if the True Dragon really emerges, it could also be an opportunity for himself, and leaving now might mean missing out on it.

“Then I’ll wait a while longer, but no more than a month. After a month, I must leave no matter what,” Fang Lin said.

“Fine, after a month, you can go wherever you want and I won’t stop you,” the Great Sage Equal to Heaven waved his hand.

In the vast snowy plains, a figure wearing a conical hat walked through the snow, unbothered by the harsh blizzard that would freeze a regular person in moments.

Yet this person, wearing the conical hat, walked as usual, completely unaffected by the fierce snowstorm and unimaginably severe cold.

Clad in a green robe, with the blizzard fluttering it lightly, he slowly approached the snowy peak that hosted the Sky Swallowing Palace.

“It seems I am the first one to arrive; the others are really not punctual,” said the conical hat, revealing himself to be the Green Robe Guest, a strong figure from Hidden Kill Hall.

“Nonsense, who said you’re the first? I damn well am the first; nearly froze to death,” a crude voice emerged, and not far ahead crouched a dark-skinned old man, covered completely in snow except for his eyes, presenting a rather miserable sight.
