269: Breaking through the human fairyland, the inner world expands

To advance to the Immortal Realm, one couldn't bypass Wu Fan's Immortal Lord Storage Ring, which was approximately 107,000 li in circumference.

Long Aotian once again meticulously inventoried the Immortal Rank Cultivation resources within:

Among the hundreds of millions of Immortal Crystals piled up like mountains, there were nearly 10 billion High Grade Immortal Crystals, nearly 50 billion Medium Grade Immortal Crystals, nearly 10 billion Medium Grade Immortal Crystals, and nearly 1 billion Low Grade Immortal Crystals.

Long Aotian couldn't help but secretly marvel:

As expected of someone specializing in killing and plundering treasures, in terms of Immortal Crystal quantity alone, Wu Fan, an Immortal Lord Realm powerhouse, was as wealthy as an average Immortal Emperor Realm powerhouse!

Among the tens of thousands of Immortal Rank Spirit Medicine and Immortal Fruits, there were actually over five hundred 10th-grade Immortal Rank Spirit Medicine? This brought Long Aotian a pleasant surprise. There were even more 9th-grade immortal spiritual herbs, totaling over thirty thousand, nearly three hundred thousand 8th-grade Immortal Rank, nearly five hundred thousand 7th-grade Immortal Rank, ten thousand 6th-grade Immortal Rank, and less than a thousand 5th-grade Immortal Rank.

At this moment, Long Aotian felt that his Pill Dao level could not only be elevated to the 5th-grade Immortal Pill Refiner Realm with the help of the Immortal Rank Spirit Medicine plundered from the Tribulation Dao Secret Realm, but he could even aspire to challenge the 10th-grade Immortal Pill Emperor Realm.

Wu Fan, this bringer of wealth, is truly something!

It's just a pity that Li Feng got away.

This quick-reacting fellow who managed to escape might be the biggest fat sheep in this duo of killers and plunderers!

Among the thousands of various Immortal Rank Magic Treasures, there were twelve 10th-grade Immortal Rank Magic Treasures, one thousand two hundred 9th-grade Immortal Rank Magic Treasures, six thousand 8th-grade Immortal Rank Magic Treasures, twelve thousand 7th-grade Immortal Rank Magic Treasures, less than a thousand 6th-grade Immortal Rank Magic Treasures, and a mere less than a hundred 5th-grade Immortal Rank Magic Treasures. Apparently, the grades were too low for the bringer of wealth to care for them.

There were also six Immortal Rank Spiritual Veins, which were also Immortal Rank Cultivation resources that greatly surprised Long Aotian.

However, the scale of these six Immortal Rank Spiritual Veins was clearly not large, as the Immortal Lord Storage Ring's area was only just about 107,000 li in circumference.

The so-called circumference means a radius of 107,000 li for a circular space, with a diameter of less than 220,000 li.

This also meant that the length of the six Immortal Rank Spiritual Veins did not exceed this length.

The fact was indeed so. All six Immortal Rank Spiritual Veins were small to medium-sized Immortal Rank Spiritual Veins. The longest one was 180,000 li, followed by one at 160,000 li, two at 80,000 li, and two at 60,000 li.

The two longest ones were both Immortal Rank High Grade Spiritual Veins, while the four shorter ones were Immortal Rank Medium Grade Spiritual Veins.

The Immortal Lord Storage Ring was neither too big nor too small; if they weren't good items, it would be impossible to put such massive objects inside.

Besides these, there were also some Immortal Rank Cultivation Techniques, Immortal Rank Artifact Refining Materials, and surprisingly, three World Rule Talismans? This made Long Aotian overjoyed.

These were excellent items for Immortal Realm powerhouses to descend to the Immortal Realm without being expelled by the Heavenly Dao or struck by lightning.

Wu Fan truly lived up to his reputation as an expert in killing and plundering treasures in the Immortal Realm. While his own Cultivation was impressive, his wealth was equally substantial. He even possessed so many World Rule Talismans, items that even a Peak Immortal Emperor might not have. Perhaps he had intercepted and plundered them from some Prodigies of top Immortal Sects?

In the Martial Arts World, where the strong prey on the weak, there is no law to speak of. Acting on impulse means that if a person commits evil, he will be a thousand times worse than imagined, with good and evil having no boundaries and being infinitely magnified.

Whoever has the strongest fist is right. If one encounters a beautiful Cultivator with low Cultivation, not only can one easily sleep with her, but even killing her and taking her Storage Ring afterwards is considered perfectly normal.

Therefore, almost all Cultivators want to become stronger, to control their own destiny, and at least not be casually disdained, trampled upon, or even crushed like an ant.

To become stronger, there are various evil Cultivators who specialize in doing bad deeds, such as those who Cultivate yin-harvesting and yang-replenishing Cultivation Techniques, those who absorb human essence blood, and even those who absorb Divine Souls. They are not a minority.

However, despite the cruelty of the Martial Arts World, whenever evil Cultivators appear, there will always be someone who, seeing injustice, will shout out and eliminate them.

Any powerhouse who Ascends to the Immortal Realm or even to a higher Plane is not a benevolent person.

Even those who consider themselves righteous have caused hundreds, if not thousands, of deaths.

A general's success is built upon the bones of ten thousand men!

Even in ordinary human society, how much effort and sweat must be expended to achieve success? Long Aotian viewed Wu Fan, a Cultivator specializing in killing and plundering in the Immortal Realm, with indifference.

It's too common!

Those who are robbed can only blame themselves for not being diligent enough. If one is robbed, and one is stronger than the opponent, then one simply counter-kills!

The Martial Arts World is that simple and brutal!

After inventorying the resources in the Immortal Lord Storage Ring, Long Aotian directly took out the most top-tier High Grade Immortal Crystals to Cultivate with Feng Zixian.

The Chaos Dao Art began to operate!

The Phoenix God Scripture also began to operate!

Feng Zixian quickly discovered with shock that Long Aotian's Chaos Dao Art absorbed and refined energy more than ten times faster than her Phoenix God Scripture?

How is this possible?!

Feng Zixian was utterly astonished.

Her Phoenix God Scripture was a Heaven-Defying Cultivation Technique born with the Phoenix Undying Emperor Body, and its level far surpassed those Cultivation Techniques of the Immortal Realm.

However, just when she thought her Cultivation Technique was already powerful enough, she didn't expect Long Aotian's Chaos Dao Art to be even more superior to her Phoenix God Scripture.

No wonder his growth speed was so rapid!

At this moment, Feng Zixian somewhat understood why her husband was so strong and fierce.

Because of a Heaven-Defying Phoenix God Scripture, she soared through the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, even setting foot in the Divine Realm, and if it weren't for encountering Emperor Sparrow, that roadblock, the Divine Realm might not even have been her limit.

And what about her husband?

He possessed the Chaos Dao Art, which only those with all twelve Spiritual Roots, i.e., Chaos Dao Body, could specially Cultivate. It was similar to her Phoenix God Scripture, which was born with the Phoenix Undying Emperor Body, and could only be Cultivated by those with the Phoenix Undying Emperor Body.

As for the Ice Phoenix God Scripture that Long Aotian gave to Long Aoxue? It had no special Physique restrictions; pure mutated ice-attribute Spiritual Root holders could Cultivate it.

The two Heaven-Defying Cultivation Techniques began to operate.

The energy within the High Grade Immortal Crystals was frantically absorbed, refined, purified, and then re-absorbed. The spiritual energy within their bodies also began to rapidly transform into Immortal energy.

Long Aotian only took one minute for this process, while Feng Zixian took twelve minutes.

When Long Aotian completely transformed the spiritual energy in his body into Immortal energy, with a "crack" sound, his Cultivation Realm successfully broke through to the Early Stage Human Immortal Realm.

And just as he broke through to the Early Stage Human Immortal Realm, his Inner World also experienced violent tremors like ten thousand horses galloping, and then began to continuously expand from a space of one li in circumference, reaching a circumference of ten li before the tremors subsided...
