The increase in law meridians will inevitably expand the Immortal Aperture again, allowing it to hold more immortal power, and his strength will also greatly increase.

As for the remaining underwater materials, although not as rare as sea heart sand and ice soul stone, they are all excellent artifact refining materials.

Fang Hong plans to use them to refine a batch of puppets, which will come in handy when he goes out for training in the future.

After organizing all his gains, Fang Hong sat cross-legged in the secret chamber within the years pearl, slowly closed his eyes, and began to fully refine the precious ice soul stone.

The ice soul stone felt cold to the touch, and pure ice Law continuously emanated from it, which Fang Hong’s Divine Sense carefully guided, gradually integrating it into his physical body.

Days passed, and the secret chamber was filled with cold Qi.

Fang Hong was surrounded by a faint white mist, and his entire person seemed to have transformed into an ice sculpture... A month later, with a slight hum, a biting cold Qi suddenly erupted from Fang Hong’s physical body, then quickly receded.

Fang Hong slowly opened his eyes, a hint of joy flashing within them.

After a month of dedicated refinement, he had successfully refined the ice law meridian within his physical body.

His Immortal Aperture had also expanded significantly, capable of holding even more immortal power than before.

By now, Fang Hong had successfully refined eight law meridians within his physical body: the basic Five Elements law meridians of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, as well as the dark Law, thunder Law, and the newly refined ice law meridians.

The eight law meridians intertwined, and as they circulated, immortal power surged like a tidal wave!

After refining the ice soul stone, Fang Hong did not stop for a moment. He immediately took out the one hundred and eighteen Early Grand Unity Stage Immortal Pills and began to refine them with all his might.

He used the pure immortal essence within the Immortal Pills to fully enhance his Cultivation Level.

One by one, the Early Grand Unity Stage Immortal Pills were sent into his stomach. The Immortal Pills melted upon entering his mouth, transforming into powerful torrents of immortal essence that surged along his meridians into his Immortal Aperture, where he gradually refined and absorbed them, converting them into his own immortal power... In the blink of an eye, another year quietly passed.

On this day, Fang Hong finally ended his secluded Cultivation and left the desolate island.

Fang Hong summoned the vast sea warship, and with a flash, he boarded the warship.

He then activated the warship, which transformed into a streak of light, continuing its rapid journey towards the Ancient Demon Continent.

During this year of secluded Cultivation, Fang Hong had completely refined all one hundred and eighteen Early Grand Unity Stage Immortal Pills.

His immortal power surged, and his Cultivation Level successfully advanced, breaking through to the Grand Unity Middle Stage realm in one fell swoop.

According to common sense, one hundred and eighteen Immortal Pills of the Grand Unity realm contain an extremely vast amount of immortal essence.

It is enough to allow an ordinary Early Grand Unity Stage Cultivator to directly break through to the Taiyi Late Stage, and even have a chance to impact the Peak Grand Unity.

However, Fang Hong only broke through to the Grand Unity Middle Stage; this is the drawback of simultaneously Cultivating multiple Laws.

Although Cultivating eight Laws simultaneously made his immortal power more diverse in nature, and his explosive power and endurance far surpassed Cultivators of the same rank.

But the resources required for advancement are also equally vast, several times that of ordinary Cultivators.

If it were other ordinary Cultivators, without sufficient resources to support them, rashly Cultivating so many Laws simultaneously would likely lead to them forever remaining at a certain realm, unable to make any progress, and ultimately perishing in subsequent Heavenly Tribulations.

But Fang Hong possessed an advantage that ordinary Cultivators could not compare to: he held two supreme treasures, the demon gourd and the years pearl.

The demon gourd could refine enemies into Immortal Pills, and the space within the years pearl could be used to cultivate immortal herbs, which could also be used for alchemy.

The Immortal Realm is vast and boundless, rich in resources. As long as one is willing to spend time and effort searching, they can always gather enough Cultivation resources.

This is why Fang Hong dared to be so bold as to simultaneously cultivate eight Laws, walking a Dao that ordinary people would not dare to take.

In addition to the significant increase in his Cultivation Level, Fang Hong’s Divine Sense, nourished day after day by the Soul Nurturing Pearl, also made great progress, successfully reaching the Peak Grand Unity standard.

His physical body strength remained at the Taiyi Late Stage, without much change.

The purple gold fruit previously used to strengthen his physical body had lost its effect.

And within the inheritance of the Eastern Luo Sect, he had not found a suitable body refinement immortal technique, so he temporarily could not continue to improve his physical body strength.

He could only wait until he encountered a suitable opportunity in the future to find a way to further strengthen his physical body.

Speaking of the Soul Nurturing Pearl, during this year, Fang Hong’s several commonly used Immortal Artifacts also made great progress with the nourishment of various resources.

He fed all three hundred-plus idle Immortal Artifacts that he temporarily had no use for to the nirvana divine thunder sword.

Under the infusion and tempering of a massive amount of Immortal Artifacts, the nirvana divine thunder sword advanced all the way, directly breaking through to the tenth-grade immortal artifact level.

As for his other commonly used Immortal Artifacts, Fang Hong individually refined sea heart sand into them, using the purifying power of the sea heart sand to remove Impurities from within the Immortal Artifacts.

After a period of polishing and upgrading, the Soul Nurturing Pearl, soul severing sword, and fire cloud gourd all successfully advanced to the ranks of ninth-grade Immortal Artifacts, their power greatly increased compared to before.

Including the Swift Wind Wings which had already advanced to ninth-grade, Fang Hong now possessed four ninth-grade Immortal Artifacts, as well as the tenth-grade demon soul banner and nirvana divine thunder sword.

The vast sea warship flew at extreme speed in the high sky, its hull enveloped by a layer of immortal light, breaking through the void and leaving a long afterimage.

At the current flying speed, it is estimated that it will still take three months to reach the distant Ancient Demon Continent.

Taking advantage of this rare free time, Fang Hong chose not to continue his secluded Cultivation, but instead went to the Artifact Refining Room inside the warship.

Fang Hong took out a large pile of artifact refining materials that he had previously plundered and neatly arranged them to the side.

He planned to use this time to refine a batch of puppets, preparing for his future training on the Ancient Demon Continent.

Inside the Artifact Refining Room, immortal fire burned fiercely, and various artifact refining materials, under Fang Hong’s control, began to gradually melt and take shape... The vast sea warship entered the void, its speed far exceeding Fang Hong’s expectations. In just two months, it had already reached the sea area near the Ancient Demon Continent.

Inside the Artifact Refining Room, Fang Hong sat cross-legged, concentrating on Qi Refining.

And directly in front of Fang Hong, one hundred humanoid puppets stood neatly, occupying most of the Artifact Refining Room, exuding an astonishing Aura.

These puppets were all tall and imposing, about ten feet high, and presented various colors, such as black, red, blue, and so on.

At a glance, they were colorful yet did not lose their majesty.

Complex Law runes were carved on their arms, torsos, and even their heads.

Those runes subtly shimmered on the puppets’ surfaces, emitting a faint immortal light.

These one hundred puppets were the result of Fang Hong’s two months of secluded artifact refining.

Don’t be fooled by their current silent and motionless state, seemingly unremarkable.

But once activated, each one can unleash a combat power comparable to a Taiyi Late Stage Cultivator, their strength not to be underestimated.
