About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea later, something unexpected happened. A faint red glow suddenly shot out from Fang Yan’s body. However, this red glow was not Fang Yan’s Gang Qi Flame, but rather the color of the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Pill. Clearly, the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Pill had already begun to take effect!

And as this red glow appeared, the liquid spirit energy in the wooden basin started to converge towards Fang Yan. In an instant, the liquid spiritual essence in the wooden basin had significantly decreased, leaving the four people witnessing this scene dumbfounded. They couldn’t comprehend what was happening.

The Thousand-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox suddenly snapped back to her senses, noticing that half of the liquid spirit energy had already vanished. She shouted to Qin Kun and the others, "Quick, pour in more liquid spirit energy!"

Upon hearing the reminder from the Thousand-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox, the three of them recalled Fang Yan’s earlier words and immediately began pouring liquid spirit energy into the wooden basin, constantly ensuring that Fang Yan was enveloped by the liquid spirit energy. However, what shocked them even more was that they witnessed with their own eyes the terrifying wounds on Fang Yan’s body healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the rate at which the liquid spirit energy was absorbed by Fang Yan kept increasing!

In the blink of an eye, four hours had passed. There wasn’t a single wound to be found on Fang Yan’s body anymore, yet even as he lay there, his rate of absorbing the liquid spirit energy hadn’t slowed at all! Seeing this, the four of them immediately followed Fang Yan’s instructions and continued pouring more liquid spirit energy into the wooden basin...

An hour later, Fang Yan’s absorption of the spiritual energy gradually began to slow down, and at this moment, a faint blue glow emerged from his body, as if he was now entirely composed of liquefied spiritual essence. Witnessing such a scene left the four of them at a loss, not understanding what was happening.

But just as they were all perplexed, Fang Yan suddenly opened his eyes, and a dazzling brilliance shot up to the sky. At the same time, the wooden basin beneath Fang Yan exploded, turning into a pile of wood chips that scattered in all directions. Immediately after, Fang Yan soared into the sky, suspended in mid-air!

Looking at Fang Yan, the four of them suddenly realized that Fang Yan seemed like a different person. Before their eyes, they couldn’t even sense Fang Yan’s presence anymore, but they knew clearly that this was just an illusion, and the real Fang Yan wasn’t like this at all!

"Finally succeeded!"

Fang Yan felt the changes in his body, revealing an incredibly happy smile on his face. Things turned out just as he had anticipated; the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Pill’s enhancement of strength was linked to the surrounding spiritual energy—the more spiritual energy, the faster the strength increased. In just a few hours, he had advanced from a state of severe injury to the peak of the Earthly Immortal Realm, reaching his original goal!

Although a lot of liquid spirit energy was wasted in the process, that was unavoidable. Now that he had reached the peak of the Earthly Immortal Realm, this was the most important thing for him at the moment. With this peak of Earthly Immortal strength, he now has greater confidence in protecting himself during the Human Immortal battles. Even if he encounters a Heavenly Immortal level opponent, he might still be able to protect himself!

"Boss... did the Boss breakthrough again?"

"Yes... it looks like it!"

Qin Kun and Wu Shan, seeing Fang Yan in this state and feeling the even more terrifying aura emanating from him compared to before, were both dumbfounded. To think Fang Yan had just recently broken through to the later stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm, and now he had already broken through again—how is this possible? This was simply too defying of the natural order!

"He’s now at the peak of the Earthly Immortal Realm. I really didn’t think it would take so little time for him to reach this level." Looking at Fang Yan in the sky, the Redflame Dragon Wolf Beast mused. Recalling when he first met Fang Yan, the latter was only at the Heaven Flipping Realm, and now he had already reached the peak of the Earthly Immortal Realm. Even in the era when he roamed, he had never heard of such a genius. He really couldn’t fathom how Fang Yan managed to break through to the peak of the Earthly Immortal Realm in such a short time—it was truly unimaginable!

"He’s really gotten stronger!" murmured the Thousand-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox, looking at Fang Yan in the air, though her face was adorned with a smile. She was genuinely happy for Fang Yan. For him to reach such heights, she, as Fang Yan’s woman, couldn’t help but feel joy. Who would’ve thought that after merely a few months apart, Fang Yan had advanced from the initial stage to the peak of the Earthly Immortal Realm. Such terrifying cultivation speed was beyond imagination—without a doubt, Fang Yan would surely become an unmatched powerhouse in the future, and being able to follow someone like him filled her heart with unparalleled joy!

Glancing down and seeing Qin Kun and the others, Fang Yan descended from the sky, landing directly in front of the four, and said to them, "I’ve reached the peak of the Earthly Immortal Realm. Aside from Heavenly Immortal experts, there will be no one in the Eternal Joy Immortal Realm who can challenge me."

Hearing Fang Yan’s words firsthand, smiles appeared on the faces of the four. They were all following Fang Yan now, and given Fang Yan’s age, there’s room for even more progress in the future; he might even become a true Heavenly Immortal level expert, or maybe even higher! Following Fang Yan would certainly make them objects of envy for others—a supreme honor that filled the four with immense joy!

Seeing the smiles on their faces, Fang Yan also smiled, taking out a few elixirs, and said to the Thousand-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox and the Redflame Dragon Wolf Beast, "You’d better return to the Space Ring. Take these elixirs—they’ll help enhance your strength further."

Upon hearing this, the Thousand-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox and the Redflame Dragon Wolf Beast nodded, accepting the elixirs from Fang Yan, and then were taken into the Space Ring. Their identities were special, making it inconvenient to follow Fang Yan all the time. When Fang Yan needs them, he will naturally summon them, and for them, sleeping in the Space Ring was also a good thing.

After arranging things with the Thousand-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox and the Redflame Dragon Wolf Beast, Fang Yan turned his attention to Qin Kun and Wu Shan, saying to the two of them, "Let’s go as well."

"Good! Boss!"

"Good!"

Upon hearing this, the two simply responded in agreement and then took off alongside Fang Yan, flying towards Tide City a hundred miles away. However, they didn’t expect that due to the battle with the masked man, a quarter of Tide City had vanished. Fortunately, the Cloud Travel Tower wasn’t damaged, and after shelling out a hefty sum of Spirit Stones, the three of them boarded the cloud travel to head to the Divine Sword Mountain Range.

Once back at the Divine Sword Mountain Range, Fang Yan instructed Qin Kun and Wu Shan to return to their respective families to make arrangements, while he went back alone to the Divine Sword Sect for a secret meeting with Jue Tiannan and the Sky Sword Ancestor. They made arrangements for the war between the human fairies, and then he went to the Heaven Demon Forest.

Upon arriving at the Heaven Demon Forest, he directly sought out the Divine Intent Phantom Dragon Beast.

"Fang Yan, you’re actually at the Earth Immortal Realm Peak?" Staring at Fang Yan, the Divine Intent Phantom Dragon Beast asked in shock. He couldn’t believe that Fang Yan, who had only been away for a few months, had reached Earth Immortal Realm Peak. Even if Fang Yan’s cultivation talent was extraordinary, it couldn’t be this extraordinary, right? Normally, others would need decades or even up to a hundred years to achieve this, yet Fang Yan did it in just a few months. It was unbelievably amazing, utterly incredible! 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Senior, it was just a stroke of luck, no need to be surprised." Fang Yan was unfazed by the Divine Intent Phantom Dragon Beast’s praise. He looked at the beast and continued, "I came to inform you of something. I estimate that in less than half a month, the war between Earth and the Eternal Joy Immortal Realm will commence. So before the war starts, I want to discuss the details of the Heaven Demon Forest’s participation."

Upon hearing this, the Divine Intent Phantom Dragon Beast immediately put aside his surprise at Fang Yan’s cultivation advancement, and seriously asked Fang Yan, "What are your thoughts?"

"I think it would be best for the Heaven Demon Forest not to participate in the early stages. I want to observe which sects become involved in this war."

"That’s fine, but not participating in the early stages, won’t that place more pressure on Earth’s side?"

"Don’t worry about that, Earth has its own arrangements in place. By the way, if the Heaven Demon Forest does participate, it’s best to disguise yourselves."

"Disguise?"

"Yes, you can disguise yourselves as strong human beings when the time comes. This way, even if there’s any problem, no one would associate it with the Heaven Demon Forest!"

...

Fang Yan discussed with the Divine Intent Phantom Dragon Beast, settling some detailed matters concerning the Heaven Demon Forest’s participation. These aspects indeed needed careful organization, as he didn’t want the Demon Beasts of Heaven Demon Forest to attract the attention of everyone in the Eternal Joy Immortal Realm due to too much action.

Seeing Fang Yan considering so much for the Heaven Demon Forest, the Divine Intent Phantom Dragon Beast expressed full goodwill toward Fang Yan, stating that he would surely arrange things according to Fang Yan’s suggestions, since he also didn’t wish for any disaster to befall the Heaven Demon Forest.

After concluding the discussion with the Divine Intent Phantom Dragon Beast, Fang Yan left to meet with Fang Le’er. Taking advantage of the time before the war, he wanted to spend more time with Fang Le’er and also think about what role he’d play once the war commenced.

While Fang Yan was with Fang Le’er in the Heaven Demon Forest, an Elder from the Holy Soul Sect arrived at the Divine Sword Sect to convey the instructions from the Holy Soul Sect, requesting the Divine Sword Sect to send sect elites to the Holy Soul Sect, preparing to participate in the expedition against Earth.

Yet this Elder never anticipated that the disciples from the Divine Sword Sect were already nowhere to be found. More surprisingly, the Divine Sword Sect had already dispatched its disciples months ago, not due to leaked information. This left the Elder perplexed, as it would be difficult to explain to the sect. However, given the current situation, he had no choice but to report back truthfully to the sect.

Upon receiving this report from the Elder, Xiao Tianrong was also surprised. He confirmed with the Elder that the Divine Sword Sect had dispatched its disciples months ago and thus paid less attention to it. Summoning disciples back from external training missions is not easy, and even if he ordered the Divine Sword Sect to recall them now, it wouldn’t be achieved within a few months. Consequently, Divine Sword Sect couldn’t participate in this battle. Since that was the case, he couldn’t be bothered wasting efforts on the Divine Sword Sect.
