Logically speaking, such a large quantity of Immortal Pills should contain enough immortal essence to allow an ordinary Golden Immortal Cultivator to smoothly cultivate to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.

However, Fang Hong consumed so many Immortal Pills yet only Cultivated to the peak Golden Immortal, and there was a special reason behind this.

This brings us to the Law meridians within Fang Hong’s physical body.

When Fang Hong was still in the Early Stage of Golden Immortal, he had already successfully refined three precious Immortal Medicines: Azure Emperor Mushroom, St. John’s Wort, and Purple Water Lotus.

With the help of these three Immortal Medicines, Fang Hong once again refined three Law meridians, and at the same time, the immortal apertures in his physical body expanded three times.

The more Law meridians there are and the larger the immortal apertures, the more immortal power can be contained, and the stronger the combat power.

But at the same time, expanding the immortal apertures also meant that the resources needed for each promotion would become greater.

This was the main reason why Fang Hong consumed so many Immortal Pills but only raised his Cultivation to the peak Golden Immortal.

If it were other Golden Immortal Cultivators who primarily Cultivated a single Law, with so many Cultivation resources, they would probably have already successfully advanced to Grand Unity Golden Immortal, or even the Middle Stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

Currently, Fang Hong’s physical body already possesses five Law meridians, corresponding to the five different attributes of Laws: metal, wood, water, fire, and darkness.

These five Law meridians, after long periods of tempering and nourishment, are almost liquid, only one step away from being completely transformed into a liquid state.

As long as Fang Hong can completely refine these five Law meridians into a liquid state and successfully Undergo Tribulation through the Body Destruction Lightning Tribulation, he will be able to smoothly advance to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.

Although simultaneously Cultivating multiple Laws consumes more resources, the benefits brought by this Cultivation method are also obvious.

Firstly, the coexistence of multiple Law meridians in the physical body makes the immortal power within it exceptionally abundant, allowing for long periods of powerful immortal techniques in battle.

Secondly, possessing Law meridians of multiple attributes also allows for the Cultivation of advanced immortal techniques of different attributes, making combat methods more flexible and varied.

When facing different types of enemies, he can have more countermeasures.

In terms of Immortal Artifacts, Fang Hong also made considerable progress.

He had previously accumulated a batch of idle Immortal Artifacts, and using the Spirit Devouring Secret Art, he fed them all to the soul severing sword and the Swift Wind Wings.

Both the soul severing sword and the Swift Wind Wings successfully advanced to the level of an Eighth-Rank Immortal Artifact.

Among them, the greatest improvement belonged to the demon soul banner.

Fang Hong refined the souls of the Cultivators he had previously collected into the demon soul banner, along with the many Golden Immortal demon souls obtained from hunting Golden Immortal Demon Beasts over the years.

The power of the demon soul banner was greatly enhanced, directly leaping to the level of a Ninth-Rank Immortal Artifact.

The current demon soul banner’s power far surpasses its past, and when unleashed, it can release terrifying soul pressure, causing a huge impact on the enemy’s soul.

In addition, the Soul Nurturing Pearl in his hand also underwent significant changes.

After the Soul Nurturing Pearl successfully merged with the white pearl he obtained from the tomb owner, it also smoothly advanced to the ranks of an Eighth-Rank Immortal Artifact.

The advanced Soul Nurturing Pearl’s effect of nourishing the Divine Soul greatly improved, which greatly helped the growth of Fang Hong’s Divine Sense.

It is precisely thanks to the advancement of the Soul Nurturing Pearl that Fang Hong’s current Divine Sense strength has reached the Grand Unity Golden Immortal level.

A powerful Divine Sense can quickly capture the opponent’s movements in battle, allowing for timely reactions and greatly enhancing combat advantage.

At this moment, Fang Hong possesses four advanced Immortal Artifacts: the soul severing sword, the Swift Wind Wings, the demon soul banner, and the Soul Nurturing Pearl.

Relying on these four Immortal Artifacts, his peak Golden Immortal Cultivation, and his powerful Divine Sense, even when facing a Cultivator in the Early Stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal, he has the power to fight.

After dealing with the corpse of the Stone Ape, Fang Hong stood still and looked around.

After years of hunting, almost all the Golden Immortal Demon Beasts within a million-mile radius, centered on his current location, had been killed by him, making it difficult to find another Golden Immortal Rank Demon Beast.

If he still wanted to continue refining Immortal Pills by hunting Demon Beasts, he would have to venture deeper into the Eastern Wasteland Mountain Range.

However, the depths of the Eastern Wasteland Mountain Range are relatively dangerous, and there is a high possibility of Grand Unity Golden Immortal Rank Demon Beasts, and even higher-Rank Demon Beasts, lurking there.

With his current peak Golden Immortal Cultivation, although he has the power to fight, it is not enough to deal with the various dangers in the depths of the mountain range.

Once he rashly ventures deeper, he might alarm those powerful Demon Beasts and invite retaliation from many Demon Beasts.

At that time, even with four advanced Immortal Artifacts in hand, he might find it difficult to escape.

After a moment of thought, Fang Hong ultimately gave up the idea of continuing deeper into the mountain range, intending to return to his sect.

Upon returning to the sect, he could, with his current peak Golden Immortal Cultivation, apply to be certified as an Inner Sect Disciple of the sect.

After becoming an Inner Sect Disciple, he would be able to comprehend some of the advanced immortal techniques or immortal arts collected within the sect, which would be of great help to his upcoming advancement to Taiyi.

Fang Hong is now at the peak Golden Immortal Cultivation, only one step away from Grand Unity Golden Immortal, and it is time to prepare for advancing to Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

To successfully advance to Grand Unity Golden Immortal, in addition to completely refining the five Law meridians in his physical body into a liquid state, he must also Undergo Tribulation through an extremely perilous Body Destruction Lightning Tribulation.

As the name suggests, the Body Destruction Lightning Tribulation is specifically aimed at destroying the Cultivator’s physical body, and its power is immense.

If one does not learn some profound defensive immortal techniques or refine some Immortal Pills that can strengthen the physical body before Undergoing Tribulation, it will be very difficult to successfully Undergo Tribulation through the Body Destruction Lightning Tribulation.

A slight mistake could lead to the destruction of the physical body in the Lightning Tribulation, resulting in death and the dissipation of the Dao.

Therefore, Fang Hong must return to the sect to find some defensive immortal techniques or Immortal Pill recipes to ensure that he can smoothly Undergo Tribulation through the Body Destruction Lightning Tribulation and successfully advance to Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

A month later, Fang Hong successfully returned to the sect.

He first went to the Hall of Merit to submit three missions, and then went to Xianqin Hall to complete the Inner Sect Disciple identity certification.

Fang Hong, holding his Inner Sect Disciple identity token, arrived at Immortal Book peak, where the Scripture Pavilion was located.

The Scripture Pavilion was a magnificent two-story palace, with many Inner Sect Disciples entering and exiting its gate.

Fang Hong stepped through the main gate; there was a room on the first floor with a tightly closed door, from which a powerful aura faintly emanated, presumably from the Elder guarding the Scripture Pavilion.

Fang Hong paid no attention and walked along the wide staircase, heading straight for the second floor, which was where Inner Sect Disciples should go.

Upon reaching the end of the staircase, a restriction light-gate blocked the way.

Fang Hong took out his Inner Sect Disciple identity token and easily passed through the light-gate.

Beyond the light-gate, a spacious hall appeared in his line of sight.

There were no bookshelves in the hall, only tall stone pillars standing on the ground, each with rows of characters carved on its surface, with immortal light flowing.

This scene was very similar to the Scripture Pavilion of the Dragon Clan in the Lower Realm; the Dragon Clan also stored cultivation techniques through stone pillars.
