83: Fuyang God
Lord Fuyang, a figure of immense renown centuries ago, wielded the Fuyang Divine Art, which incinerated everything in its path, boasting astonishing combat power.
He even achieved a Breakthrough into the Secret Realm, becoming a Land Immortal!
Although this Lord Fuyang possessed astonishing combat power, the Cultivation Technique he primarily Cultivated was too overbearing; the Fuyang Divine Art required visualizing the great sun traversing the sky, allowing one to Cultivate the True Intent of Fuyang.
Lord Fuyang not only condensed the True Intent of Fuyang but also went a step further, reaching the Realm of 'Nine Suns Across the Sky'!
Such a terrifying Martial Dao Realm both made him and backfired on him.
As the saying goes, isolated yin cannot grow, and isolated yang cannot last.
The Fuyang Divine Art was a divine art of ultimate rigidity and yang, and having Cultivated it to the extreme, disaster began to manifest.
Anyone who could become a Land Immortal would gain a Lifespan of five hundred years, living for five hundred years easily, without illness or pain, but Lord Fuyang could only live for four hundred years!
His Cultivation Technique and Realm were like a true great sun, burning his body and Lifespan at every moment!
Although Lord Fuyang was stronger than most Land Immortals, he also had a shorter Lifespan than most Land Immortals.
How could he tolerate this?
After realizing the hidden danger within him, Lord Fuyang tried every possible method to solve the problem; his footsteps traversed every corner of the entire world, searching for famous doctors and experts, yet he still couldn't resolve the issue within him.
Until one day, he learned of the existence of the Pine Crane Longevity Sect.
The Pine Crane Longevity Art, the Pine Crane Longevity Sect's ultimate technique, was endlessly profound, containing the true essence of 'Evergreen Pine,' with a strong ability to extend Lifespan.
If one could Cultivate to the Secret Realm with this method, one could easily live for six hundred years, a much longer Lifespan than other Land Immortals!
Furthermore, the 'Evergreen Pine' intent of the Pine Crane Longevity Art belonged to the Wood of the Five Elements, which was a perfect match for the Fire of the Five Elements in the Fuyang Divine Art!
The Five Elements generate and overcome each other, and Wood can generate Fire.
"If I can obtain this Pine Crane Longevity Art and Cultivate it alongside my Fuyang Divine Art..."
"Not only can it solve the problem of my shortened Lifespan, but it can also complement the Fuyang Divine Art, allowing the power of my Fuyang Divine Art to reach an even higher level?!"
When this thought appeared in Lord Fuyang's mind, his body trembled with excitement, and he uncontrollably wanted to seize this Pine Crane Longevity Art.
Afterward, he immediately sought out the Ancestral Master Ji Ying from that year, wishing to exchange for this Pine Crane Longevity Art from Ji Ying's hands. Although Lord Fuyang was willing to pay a great price for the Cultivation Technique, Ji Ying still refused.
The Pine Crane Longevity Art was Ji Ying's ultimate technique and the culmination of his life's effort; how could he easily hand it over to others?
After being refused, Lord Fuyang erupted on the spot and directly tried to seize it!
Affected by the Cultivation Technique, Lord Fuyang's personality was as fiery as fire, rarely showing a pleasant demeanor in his life. Today, he came to the door to politely ask, and you actually dared to give him a cold shoulder?
You even dared to refuse him?
He would beat him to death, that damn turtle son!
The two Land Immortals fought fiercely!
Lord Fuyang's combat power was astonishing, and his Martial Dao True Intent manifested, revealing the terrifying anomaly of nine suns traversing the sky.
The earth burned, mountains and rivers shattered, a tragic scene of a thousand miles of scorched earth, like a drought demon emerging!
But Ji Ying was not someone who could be easily manipulated.
Ji Ying was not only a Land Immortal but also a powerful existence capable of Shattering the Void!
The two Land Immortals fought for three days, shattering large areas of mountains and rivers, yet neither could gain the upper hand.
Lord Fuyang could only leave in anger.
Thus, a feud was established between the two sides.
Later, Lord Fuyang repeatedly tried to seize it, attacking Ji Ying. As the two sides went back and forth, the feud deepened, eventually turning into a mortal enmity!
In the end, neither side could defeat the other. Ji Ying could only guard the mountain gate, protecting the Disciples within the sect while Cultivating in seclusion within the mountain gate.
Time slowly flowed.
It wasn't until Ji Ying outlived Lord Fuyang, until the name of Lord Fuyang no longer existed in this world, that Ancestral Master Ji Ying Shattered the Void and departed.
After Ji Zhizhang's explanation, Li Qi understood the reasons behind it, and he said with a look of shock.
"I never thought... it would be like this!"
The past events greatly impacted Li Qi's mind.
In a trance, he seemed to see two terrifying powerhouses erupting in earth-shattering battles; even mountains and rivers shattered beneath their feet, their fierce might like that of demon gods!
"Is that the world of Land Immortals...?"
Li Qi yearned in his heart, muttering.
Ji Zhizhang, sitting opposite him, had a worried expression and continued.
"Logically speaking, Lord Fuyang should have died centuries ago, or perhaps he Shattered the Void and departed. Lord Fuyang should absolutely not be appearing in this world!"
"But that Ba Jing insisted that Lord Fuyang was about to attack the sect... Could it be...?"
Ji Zhizhang's eyes widened; he thought of a possibility.
Although Ancestral Master Ji Ying did not teach the Pine Crane Longevity Art to Lord Fuyang back then, the other party might have still found a way to extend his Lifespan and survived.
If Ba Jing's near-death revival back then was due to Lord Fuyang saving him, then it means Lord Fuyang still possesses some ability similar to resurrection!
No matter what, this was not good news.
Ji Zhizhang told Li Qi his conjecture, and Li Qi's expression became unprecedentedly serious.
"A Land Immortal might come to seek revenge... What is Elder's plan?"
Ji Zhizhang stared intently at Li Qi: "The key to breaking this situation... might lie with you!"
