Fang Hong dared not hesitate for a moment and quickly inhaled a few Crimson Fire Pills.

Instantly, raging flames ignited all over his body, and the scorching medicinal power madly circulated within him, rapidly expelling the Yin Wind from his body.

Leveraging the potent medicinal power unleashed by the Crimson Fire Pills, Fang Hong closed his eyes tightly and fully activated his cultivation technique, forming a red fire shield around his body to resist the constantly invading Yin Wind.

A day passed in torment, but the spatial crack in the sky still showed no signs of closing, and an endless stream of Yin Wind poured down like a waterfall.

Moreover, as time went on, the power of the Yin Wind grew stronger and stronger, and the flames on his body began to fluctuate unstably.

Whenever the flames on his body were about to dissipate due to the erosion of the Yin Wind, Fang Hong would immediately take another Crimson Fire Pill.

Upon ingesting the medicinal pill, new flames ignited, reinforcing the defense that was on the verge of collapsing.

Fang Hong endured in this manner, relying on one Crimson Fire Pill after another, repeatedly fending off the fierce onslaught of the Yin Wind.

Three days later, the Yin Wind still showed no signs of stopping.

Six days later, the Yin Wind continued. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Half a month later, just as Fang Hong’s Crimson Fire Pills were about to run out, the spatial crack above his head finally began to shrink.

The originally fierce Yin Wind slowly receded like a tide.

Moments later, the spatial crack completely vanished, and the last trace of Yin Wind dissipated into the air, restoring peace to the secret chamber.

Boom.

The moment the Yin Wind completely disappeared, Fang Hong’s Immortal power instantly erupted, and his entire body suddenly ignited with a dazzling red light.

Immediately after, a red pillar of light shot up from Fang Hong’s body, piercing through the spatial barrier of the years pearl and directly breaking through the top of the small mountain peak where Fang Hong was in seclusion.

With a loud rumble, the rocks at the top of the mountain peak instantly shattered, sending fragments flying and dust swirling.

Fang Hong slowly opened his eyes, a red light flashing in his pupils, and a powerful aura, far surpassing his previous one, spread from him.

A smile finally appeared on Fang Hong’s face; he had endured the Yin Wind Tribulation, and at this very moment, he had officially stepped into the Golden Immortal realm.

Carefully sensing the changes within his body, Fang Hong discovered that he had an additional meridian that was entirely crimson.

This meridian tightly connected the ten great Immortal Apertures, and every time Immortal power flowed through this meridian, it would carry a trace of scorching Law power.

This was the first Law meridian he had refined, belonging to the Law of Blazing Flames.

If one looked closely, this Law meridian was still in a gaseous state, indicating that Fang Hong’s current realm was Early Stage Golden Immortal.

According to the Cultivation knowledge Fang Hong had, the core of realms above Golden Immortal was the continuous process of Cultivating and refining Laws.

Starting from Early Stage Golden Immortal, one needed to constantly temper the Law meridian with their own Immortal power, making the Law meridian more condensed and more real.

When the Law meridian gradually transformed from a purely gaseous state to a gas-liquid mixed state, it meant that one’s Cultivation had broken through to Middle Stage Golden Immortal.

When the liquid part in the Law meridian became more and more, eventually dominating, that was the moment to advance to Late Stage Golden Immortal.

And when the Law meridian completely transformed into a liquid state, without any gaseous residue, one could successfully break through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.

If one day, this liquid Law meridian could be further Cultivated, eventually becoming solid and completely materialized, then one would directly advance to the Immortal King realm.

The Immortal King realm breaks through interface barriers, allowing free traversal through the Three Realms, no longer restricted by interfaces.

As for how to cultivate the Immortal Emperor, and even the legendary Heavenly Venerate realms above Immortal King, Fang Hong was currently clueless.

The Cultivation knowledge he currently possessed was mostly basic content learned when he became an Outer Sect Disciple.

To understand the Cultivation methods of higher realms, he could only return to the sect after this seclusion, apply to become an Inner Sect Disciple, and then have the opportunity to access more profound Immortal Arts and explore the mysteries of higher realms.

After sensing the changes within his body, Fang Hong slowly reined in the aura around him, then let out a long breath, his body, tensed for half a month, finally relaxing.

He looked at the jade box in front of him, which still contained five Crimson Fire Pills.

Recalling the Yin Wind Tribulation of the past half-month, a hint of lingering fear arose in Fang Hong’s heart.

For the past half-month, he had been tormented by the Yin Wind non-stop; if he hadn’t refined a few more Crimson Fire Pills, and the medicinal pills had run out midway, it would be hard to say if he could have survived this tribulation.

Fang Hong carefully put away the remaining five Crimson Fire Pills, got up, and went to the Artifact Refining Room; the soul severing sword and Swift Wind Wings had already absorbed the idle Immortal Artifacts, and their auras had strengthened significantly.

Fang Hong reached out and picked up the soul severing sword, his fingertip gently tracing the blade; the soul severing sword had successfully advanced to a Sixth-grade Immortal Artifact.

The Swift Wind Wings beside it had also risen to a Fifth-grade Immortal Artifact, and the power of both Immortal Artifacts had been greatly enhanced.

Feeling the changes in the two Immortal Artifacts, Fang Hong showed a satisfied smile.

With these two Immortal Artifacts protecting him, even if he encountered a Late Stage Golden Immortal Cultivator, he would have the power to fight.

"Hmm?"

Just as Fang Hong had put away the Immortal Artifacts and was about to take a good rest, he suddenly frowned.

A cold Killing Intent was rapidly approaching his Immortal Cave from afar, and that Killing Intent also carried a sinister aura!

Fang Hong’s mind stirred, and he exited the years pearl space, his figure shooting up into the sky and stopping steadily in mid-air, his gaze looking towards the direction from which the Killing Intent came.

He saw a strange dark cloud rapidly drifting from afar; the dark cloud moved extremely fast, and wherever it passed, the surrounding light dimmed slightly.

After a few breaths, the dark cloud arrived in front of Fang Hong, stopping ten zhang away from him, hovering motionlessly in mid-air.

The dark cloud continuously churned, and then, a short figure slowly walked out from within the dark cloud.

This person was a white-haired old man, not tall, with a rather benevolent face, and even a faint smile on his lips.

However, the aura emanating from his entire body was exceptionally cold, and his Cultivation had reached Middle Stage Golden Immortal.

"It’s actually him. The Evil Ghost Elder?"

After Fang Hong clearly saw the old man’s face, he felt a slight surprise in his heart.

He had seen this old man’s appearance on the sect’s wanted list before.

The person before him was known as the Evil Ghost Elder, ranked tenth on the Eastern Luo Sect’s wanted list, a Middle Stage Golden Immortal, whose Lifebound Immortal Artifact was the Evil Ghost Banner.

This person specialized in traveling through various regions, refining souls by killing people, and then using these refined souls to feed his Evil Ghost Banner, continuously enhancing the power of his Immortal Artifact.
