This is the legendary Dao of Fire, a method that can only be wielded by those who have reached the Immortal King Realm.

In terms of power, the Dao of Fire is hundreds of times stronger than the Immortal Fire Fang Hong cultivated before.

With this Dao of Fire, Fang Hong immediately had a new plan in mind; he could finally temper Immortal Artifacts.

Speaking of Immortal Artifacts, ever since Fang Hong disposed of all his idle Immortal Artifacts last time, the few commonly used Immortal Artifacts he possessed had all been upgraded to tenth-grade immortal artifacts.

Fang Hong gently waved his hand towards the void in front of him, and with a few soft swish sounds, the demon soul banner, nirvana divine thunder sword, soul severing sword, fire cloud gourd, Soul Nurturing Pearl, and Swift Wind Wings—these six treasures—appeared together in mid-air, suspended before him.

The six Immortal Artifacts each emitted Immortal Light of different colors, reflecting off each other, appearing exceptionally dazzling.

Immediately after, Fang Hong condensed a ball of Dao of Fire in his hand, flicked his finger, and precisely shot it onto the soul severing sword.

In an instant, the soul severing sword seemed to be greatly stimulated, and its blade vibrated violently.

Under the repeated tempering of the Dao Power, the sword body shone brightly.

A subtle yet clear dao pattern slowly began to emerge on the originally smooth surface of the sword body.

This dao pattern, as if alive, slowly flowed across the sword body.

Fang Hong, who was well-versed in the Dao of artifact refining, naturally knew that Immortal Artifacts themselves had distinctions of high and low grades.

And Dao Artifacts, which are even stronger than Immortal Artifacts, also have grade classifications; not all Dao Artifacts possess the same power.

He had seen relevant records in an ancient text, stating that Dao Artifacts are mainly divided into two major categories: Acquired Dao Artifacts and Innate Dao Artifacts.

The Origins and powers of these two types of Dao Artifacts are vastly different.

The so-called Acquired Dao Artifacts refer to Dao Artifacts refined by Cultivators through their own means.

These Dao Artifacts are further subdivided into grades one to ten based on their power.

Among them, first-grade Dao Artifacts are the most common and less powerful, while tenth-grade Dao Artifacts are the peak existence among Acquired Dao Artifacts, extremely powerful.

As for Innate Dao Artifacts, they are even more extraordinary; they are not artificially refined but naturally nurtured and formed by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Innate Dao Artifacts contain the purest and most Origin Dao Power in the world, and every Innate Dao Artifact is a rare treasure in the world.

It is no exaggeration to say that the power of Innate Dao Artifacts must be far superior to tenth-grade Acquired Dao Artifacts.

Such treasures, even the high and mighty Immortal Emperors and Heavenly Venerates standing at the peak of the Immortal Realm, would be moved upon seeing them, and might even fight fiercely to contend for an Innate Dao Artifact.

According to the records in the ancient text, the grade classification of Acquired Dao Artifacts also has clear standards.

As long as one dao pattern can be refined during the refining process, it can be considered a first-grade Dao Artifact.

If ten dao patterns can be refined, then it is a tenth-grade Dao Artifact, the highest grade.

The more dao patterns, the higher the grade of the Dao Artifact and the stronger its power.

After clarifying these points, in the time that followed, Fang Hong focused entirely on controlling the Dao of Fire, tempering these Immortal Artifacts one by one.

He meticulously refined the pure Dao Power into the interior of the Immortal Artifacts, allowing them to slowly transform into true Dao Artifacts.

Fang Hong had just broken through to Immortal King, and tempering Dao Artifacts was not an easy task.

It not only required precise control of the Dao of Fire but also constant attention to the state of the Immortal Artifacts; a slight carelessness could lead to the Immortal Artifacts being damaged.

Fang Hong naturally dared not show the slightest slack, fully immersing himself in the tempering work.

In this way, it took a full year for Fang Hong to finally successfully temper all six treasures in his possession.

At this moment, Fang Hong sat cross-legged in the secret chamber, closing his eyes to meditate and recover the Immortal Qi consumed during the tempering of the Dao Artifacts.

And in the air beside Fang Hong, the six treasures floated quietly.

Each one shimmered with Dao Light, emitting an even more powerful aura than before.

Upon closer inspection, a clear dao pattern was visible on the surface of each treasure, and as the dao pattern flowed, it emitted a faint Dao pressure.

Evidently, these six treasures had successfully transformed, all upgrading to first-grade Dao Artifacts.

Their contained Divine Power and overall power had once again significantly increased compared to when they were tenth-grade immortal artifacts.

Before long, Fang Hong slowly opened his eyes; after this period of meditation, the Immortal Qi in his body had fully recovered to its peak state.

He turned his head to look at the six Dao Artifacts floating beside him, a satisfied smile appearing on his face; this year of hard work had clearly not been in vain. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

With Fang Hong’s current Cultivation, he could only temper one dao pattern into these Immortal Artifacts for now.

After all, he had only recently advanced to Immortal King, and his understanding and control of the Dao Power were still relatively superficial, preventing him from achieving more refined control.

As his realm continuously improves in the future, and his control over the Dao Power becomes more proficient, he will surely be able to temper more dao patterns into these Dao Artifacts.

This will further enhance their grade and power.

Thinking of this, Fang Hong gently waved his hand, retracting the six Dao Artifacts floating beside him into his body one by one, constantly nourishing them with the dao pattern within his body.

This would not only make the Dao Artifacts more compatible with him but also slowly improve their quality.

Now that the Immortal King Realm was stable and the Dao Artifacts had been successfully refined, Fang Hong felt it was time to venture into the Immortal Realm for some experience.

Fang Hong cultivated nine Dao Laws simultaneously, and his previous advancement to Immortal King had already depleted all the Immortal Pills he had.

And the Cultivation resources required for each subsequent advancement would only be more immense than now; ordinary Cultivation places simply could not meet his needs.

Only by going to the Immortal Realm, which has more abundant resources and richer Heaven and Earth Immortal Qi, could his Cultivation needs be met, allowing him to go further on his Cultivation path.

After making up his mind, Fang Hong got up and walked out of his Immortal Cave, retrieving the years pearl.

The Swift Wind Wings suddenly unfurled behind him, and with a soft whoosh, Fang Hong’s figure transformed into a white light, instantly vanishing from where he stood.

Before heading to the Immortal Realm, Fang Hong still had one thing to do: he planned to return to the True Immortal Continent first to inquire about Su Shan’s whereabouts. Having reached the Immortal King Realm, Fang Hong’s speed in performing escape techniques was incredibly fast, a white light swiftly traversing the void.

In less than a month, he successfully returned from the distant Ancient Demon Continent to the familiar True Immortal Continent.

In a core mountain range deep within the Eastern Luo Sect territory on the True Immortal Continent.

The environment here was serene, and the spiritual energy was rich; it was precisely where the Cultivation Immortal Cave of Ye Cheng, the newly promoted Grand Elder of the Eastern Luo Sect, was located.

Speaking of Ye Cheng, one cannot help but mention a past grievance.

During the last Treasure Realm, Ye Cheng had a fierce conflict with Fang Hong.

It was precisely because of Ye Cheng that Fang Hong was identified as a Demonic Path Spy/Traitor by the Eastern Luo Sect and was even placed on the sect’s wanted list.

To this day, that wanted list has still not been taken down.
