Fang Hong heard Yun Fei’s reminder and nodded, "Yes, thank you for the reminder, Miss Yun. This monk has noted it."

"By the way, this monk plans to go into seclusion in Purple Cloud City for a period of time. I wonder if there are any stable and reliable Immortal Caves available for rent in the city?" Fang Hong asked casually.

Yun Fei heard Fang Hong’s question and immediately replied with a smile.

"Of course there are. Our Purple Cloud Chamber of Commerce has the best ready-made Immortal Caves in the city, with complete facilities and a safe environment."

"Why don’t I take Great Master to take a look now? If Great Master is satisfied, he can move in at any time."

"Then I shall trouble Miss Yun. This monk is extremely grateful." Fang Hong quickly thanked her upon hearing this.

"No trouble at all, it’s just a small matter."

Yun Fei waved her hand, then seemed to suddenly remember something and asked curiously.

"By the way, there doesn’t seem to be any Buddhist Sects in the Purple Cloud Sea Domain. Could it be that Great Master is from an overseas continent?"

"Yes, this monk is from the distant True Immortal Continent, from the Dongluo Buddhist Sect. I only recently came to the Purple Cloud Sea Domain to gain experience, hoping to broaden my horizons and improve my Cultivation."

"So that’s how it is."

Afterward, Yun Fei personally led Fang Hong to the location of the Immortal Caves under the Purple Cloud Chamber of Commerce.

Along the way, she enthusiastically introduced some of Purple Cloud City’s situations to Fang Hong from time to time.

Under Yun Fei’s detailed introduction and guidance, Fang Hong selected and rented a luxurious Immortal Cave in Purple Cloud City.

The Immortal Cave’s location was excellent, right in the core area of Purple Cloud City, protected by a powerful formation.

The internal facilities of the Immortal Cave were even more complete, with alchemy rooms, Artifact Refining Rooms, Cultivation rooms, and everything else one could need.

The Immortal Qi was also very abundant, several times denser than in other parts of the city, making it very suitable for Cultivators to go into seclusion and cultivate.

Most importantly, with the protection of the Purple Cloud Chamber of Commerce’s influence, almost no one dared to cause trouble here, making it a good place for quiet Cultivation.

Such a good Immortal Cave naturally did not come cheap; it cost one hundred thousand Immortal Stones per year.

For ordinary Cultivators, this fee was simply an astronomical figure, completely unaffordable.

Fortunately, Fang Hong had accumulated several million Immortal Stones from killing enemies before, so he didn’t have to worry about the rent and could stay for several years without any problem.

After moving into the Immortal Cave, Fang Hong immediately activated all the restrictions that came with the Immortal Cave.

At the same time, he personally set up several more concealed and powerful defensive restrictions around the Immortal Cave.

After completing all this and confirming its safety, Fang Hong returned to the Artifact Refining Room within the Immortal Cave with peace of mind.

Fang Hong entered the internal space of the years pearl and cut down a purple gold fruit tree as artifact refining materials.

The purple gold fruit tree not only bears purple gold fruit that has the effect of tempering the physical body, but the fruit tree itself is also an extremely precious and rare artifact refining Material.

Using it for artifact refining can greatly improve the quality of an Immortal Artifact.

Fang Hong returned to the Artifact Refining Room, released the seventy-two nirvana divine thunder swords, then took out the freshly cut purple gold fruit tree, as well as thunder crystal and fifty catties of sea heart sand.

Fang Hong looked at these rare materials, his heart secretly filled with anticipation.

As long as these three rare materials could be successfully refined into the nirvana divine thunder sword, with the characteristics of these materials, the power of the nirvana divine thunder sword would surely be greatly enhanced, and it would definitely regain its former sharpness.

Thinking of this, Fang Hong no longer hesitated and immediately opened his mouth to spit out a blazing Immortal Fire.

Fang Hong began to melt the purple gold fruit tree branches, thunder crystal, and sea heart sand one by one according to specific steps, preparing to refine them all into the nirvana divine thunder sword.

For the next period, Fang Hong stayed in the Immortal Cave, fully dedicating himself to re-refining the nirvana divine thunder sword.

He planned to consider going to the Ancient Demon Continent only after the re-refining of the nirvana divine thunder sword was complete.

However, Fang Hong did not know that while he was focused on artifact refining, a conspiracy targeting him was quietly brewing.

Yan Shuai had held a grudge against Fang Hong ever since he lost to him in the artifact refining competition.

After leaving the arena, Yan Shuai immediately returned to his residence and ordered his Dharma Protector to send out a sea bird skilled in reconnaissance.

This sea bird found the Immortal Cave Fang Hong rented and remained latent near it, constantly monitoring Fang Hong’s movements and reporting all of Fang Hong’s outings to Yan Shuai.

Yan Shuai did not give up after learning that Fang Hong had been staying in the Immortal Cave and had not come out; instead, he waited patiently.

As long as that bald monk dared to step out of Purple Cloud Immortal Island, he would dare to act, to vent the resentment in his heart.

In a blink of an eye, two more years passed.

At this moment, Fang Hong was suspended atop a majestic mountain peak within the years pearl’s internal space.

His eyes were tightly closed, and a golden light enveloped his body.

The golden light wrapped around his body, sometimes contracting, sometimes expanding outwards, emitting a powerful aura.

Suddenly, Fang Hong abruptly opened his eyes.

In that instant, two sharp golden lights shot out from his eyes, like sharp swords piercing through the long night, directly reaching the sky.

Immediately afterward, Fang Hong lightly flicked his finger. What seemed like a casual movement contained the power to destroy the heavens and earth.

Boom.

A tremendous roar erupted. The several towering mountain peaks in the distance, tens of thousands of feet high, instantly shattered under the impact of this terrifying force, turning into countless tiny dust particles.

These dust particles slowly scattered between heaven and earth. The once majestic mountain peaks vanished in an instant, showing how astonishing the power of this strike was.

Fang Hong looked down at his palm, a satisfied smile appearing on his face, and gently nodded.

During these two years, his Cultivation realm remained at the Early Grand Unity Stage, without breaking through to a higher level.

However, his actual combat power had undergone earth-shattering changes, increasing by a significant margin.

The reason for such a huge improvement was entirely due to the purple gold fruit within the years pearl.

During this period, the purple gold fruit had matured several times. Each time it matured, Fang Hong would immediately pick it and unhesitatingly consume and refine it.

He refined the purple gold fruit every day, day and night, until the medicinal power of the purple gold fruit no longer had any effect and could not bring about any further improvement, only then would Fang Hong stop.

After these repeated refinements and nourishments, Fang Hong’s current physical body strength had reached an astonishing Late Stage Grand Unity standard.

Now, relying solely on this powerful physical body, even if he were to face a true Late Stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal Cultivator empty-handed.

He would have full confidence in killing him. His physical body strength could be described as terrifying.

As for Divine Sense, ever since the Soul Nurturing Pearl successfully advanced to an eighth-rank immortal artifact, its inherent power had also been greatly enhanced.

Over the past two years, the Soul Nurturing Pearl had been constantly nourishing his soul.

Under the continuous nourishment of the Soul Nurturing Pearl, his Divine Sense strength also advanced rapidly, now also reaching the Late Stage Grand Unity standard.

In terms of artifact refining, the seventy-two nirvana divine thunder swords finally revealed their sharpness once again, reborn.
