A Primordial Qi tide is a strange phenomenon that occurs when Primordial Qi becomes so pure and vast that it manifests as a literal tide.

If a Cultivator could harness this phenomenon to temper the phantom of their Spirit Body, their efforts would be twice as effective.

So, after Mo Ran’s joyful cry, everyone was stirred. They immediately sat down cross-legged, awaiting the arrival of the Primordial Qi tide.

At this moment, pink roses formed from Primordial Qi emerged from the sealed Water Eye.

Immediately after, azure sparrows, snow-white swordfish, and cyan cicadas—all manifestations of Primordial Qi—also appeared.

In an instant, the scene was complete with flowers, birds, fish, and insects, making the place seem all the more extraordinary.

BOOM...

RUMBLE...

Suddenly, a sound like a roaring tsunami erupted from the sealed Water Eye, forcing them all to immediately focus their minds.

The next moment, waves of incredibly immense Primordial Qi surged forth. Like a series of monstrous, unending waves, it roared toward them.

Above Mo Nian, the phantom of the Nian He beat its wings and cried out, soaring joyfully as its crane eyes grew ever brighter.

In front of Cyan Aura, the phantom of the electric python spun wildly, its mouth gaping wide as a cold glint gradually appeared on its scales.

The three women—Xuezhi, Nanyu, and Lin Tianxue—also underwent their own unique transformations during this process.

"Electric Python, just stay on the periphery and absorb whatever fortune you can. Take as much as you’re able."

Fang Yang pressed down on the electric python, preventing it from rushing to the very front.

’Is the Primordial Qi tide a good thing? A very good thing. But this Primordial Qi tide is caused by some desolate beast, a Flood Dragon. It carries traces of the Flood Dragon’s Dao and the characteristics of the Water Dao School. For me, this isn’t very suitable. My path is already set. I can’t be like these others, whose foundations are still undecided. I can’t just change my path whenever I want; I can no longer switch my primary school of cultivation.’

At this moment, Fang Yang stood guard for the five people and one python.

The five people and one python all received the gift of the Primordial Qi tide and grew to varying degrees.

Among them, Nanyu stabilized her Tier Four Elementary realm, Cyan Aura and Mo Ran took the opportunity to ascend to Tier Three Peak, and Xuezhi and Lin Tianxue rose to Tier Three Advanced.

Meanwhile, the electric python, having skimmed some of the good fortune from the periphery, had its body cleansed and had already begun to transform.

It absorbed a trace of the Flood Dragon’s Dao and transformed, reaching the Tier Two Advanced realm. Its aura was extraordinary.

Gradually, the Primordial Qi tide receded, and the area returned to tranquility.

There were no more manifestations of flowers, birds, fish, or insects, nor was there the earth-shaking sound of a tsunami.

As the five of them woke up one by one, they saw Fang Yang standing guard over them.

"Uh, Fang Yang, we really owe you for this," Mo Ran said, slightly moved.

He was no cultivation novice. He knew very well that if Fang Yang had also activated his Cultivation Technique just now, nearly eighty percent of the Primordial Qi tide would have been devoured by Fang Yang alone.

If that had happened, he feared none of the five of them would have been able to smoothly obtain such a fortunate opportunity, let alone advance their realms.

A young Great Saint... the title wasn’t just about combat power and aptitude, but also about the terrifying rate at which these monsters could devour resources!

Fang Yang shook his head. "There’s no need for that. I just did what I was supposed to do."

Hearing this, Mo Ran made a decision.

He thought about Fang Yang’s dedication on this trip and was grateful for his previous help. Therefore, he decided to take out an even more precious Tier Five Spiritual Object.

He lightly tapped his storage pouch, and a Spiritual Object radiating a treasured cyan light appeared in the air.

Senmu Thunder Fish

The Senmu Thunder Fish, except for its crimson eyes, was forged entirely from cyan lightning, so brilliant it was almost blinding.

This was a Tier Five Spiritual Object that possessed qualities of both the Wood Dao School and the Thunder Dao School. Within it, the power of creation and the power of destruction coexisted, achieving a strange balance.

Refining it would increase a Cultivator’s spiritual affinity for the Wood Dao and Thunder Dao.

"The Senmu Thunder Fish?" Cyan Aura looked up abruptly.

Because the reward they had originally agreed upon was not this.

Moreover, ever since learning that Mo Ran possessed the Senmu Thunder Fish, Cyan Aura had been trying to obtain it from him, even making multiple promises, but Mo Ran had ignored him every time.

Besides Cyan Aura, Lin Tianxue and the others also drew in a sharp breath.

’What a treasure. A truly fine treasure.’

Fang Yang hesitated. "But, Brother Mo Ran, this..."

Mo Ran cupped his hands and offered it. "A good horse deserves a good saddle. Please, Brother Fang Yang, just accept it."

"Whew. If you insist, then I won’t stand on ceremony. You’ve really given me a massive surprise," Fang Yang said with a smile.

Fang Yang couldn’t help but be delighted, because the Yimu Saint Spear in his Void Acupoint True Essence Sea was trembling slightly, showing a strong desire for the Senmu Thunder Fish.

The moment he took the Senmu Thunder Fish, the trembling of the Yimu Saint Spear intensified dramatically.

With a flip of his hand, the Senmu Thunder Fish dissipated.

"Refined in an instant."

’The original one-hundred-year period before my rank declines has suddenly been extended to one hundred and thirty years.’

’And the Cyan Thunder Rune Seed has evolved into a Cyan Thunder Talisman Seedling...’

Fang Yang lowered his gaze, his thoughts racing.

After refining the Senmu Thunder Fish, he could clearly feel that his proficiency with thunder-based techniques had improved significantly.

Of course, what delighted him the most was that the Yimu Saint Spear had been repaired.

Rune Seed, Talisman Seedling, Talisman Tree... The repair of the Yimu Saint Spear required these three stages.

Having now jumped directly to the second stage, how could Fang Yang not be overjoyed?

Moreover, he was confident that he could become a Saint within one hundred and thirty years.

...

With the matter concluded, Fang Yang took his leave.

His departure was free and easy, leaving the others with only the sight of his dashing, retreating figure.

"He comes and goes like the wind. Truly extraordinary."

Nanyu sighed. "I used to think he was just trying to climb the social ladder by latching onto someone powerful, but I never expected his talent to be so exceptional."

Hearing this, Xuezhi’s eyes rippled with emotion. "Yes. He is worthy of any woman of our generation."

Prejudice is like a great mountain in the hearts of men, one that is difficult to move.

But before Fang Yang, these mountains were as if nothing. He shattered them with ease, leaving the world shocked time and time again.

Take this time, for example. A problem that had left them helpless and trapped for over a month was easily solved by Fang Yang in just half a day.

In fact, if Fang Yang hadn’t intervened, they likely would have never been able to solve the problem at all. It wouldn’t have been a matter of how long they were trapped.

The gap between them was absurdly large!

「On the other side.」

Gale-force winds surrounded him as lightning flared.

Fang Yang beat his Thunderfire Wings, soaring freely across the sky.

But the closer he got to Phoenix Peak, the subtler his movements became, until he was drifting like a gentle breeze.

Phoenix Peak was situated on high ground.

Viewed from above, it looked like a phoenix had folded its wings to rest there.

Fang Yang concealed his aura, found a quiet spot among the cliffs, and silently hid himself.

He did this because on his way, he had discovered that Ji Juyun and his group were still in the mountains around Phoenix Peak, controlling the waters.

Ji Juyun was a top prodigy with a resounding reputation.

Ji Juyun was an extremely rare cultivator of the Dao of Fortune, currently at the Tier Five Advanced realm. His Spirit Body was a perfect-grade Golden Toad Spirit Body, and he possessed profound karmic fortune, making him quite formidable.

He was also once the champion of all armies at Tier Four, and the Marquis of Shiwu at Tier Five...

But what made Fang Yang even more wary was that Ji Juyun seemed to be following a path called "Peach Blossom Luck," enjoying continuous good fortune and frequently achieving incredible feats.

Therefore, with such a vicious tiger nearby, Fang Yang didn’t dare to be careless, even with the guidance of his Divination Fortune.
