Eternal Life

G.o.dly Transformation

Just by killing a ‘Shura’, these people are all astonished. If I pulled out the ‘Pink Prince’s corpse, I wonder how shocked their reaction would be?

Everyone’s stares gathered upon him. Some were filled with astonishment while others were filled with disbelief. The shock caused Fang Han to feel a sliver of pride in his heart; he felt a sense of accomplishment by attracting everyone’s attention.

However, he knew that it was definitely not smart to pull out the ‘Pink Prince’s corpse. Perhaps it would be alright to do so in the future, but he couldn’t right now. Although the ‘Pink Prince’s corpse could be exchanged for a ‘Yin Yang Longevity Pellet’, the attraction of the ‘Yin Yang Longevity Pellet’ was far below the importance of his life.

Thus, he calmly took out the ‘Shura’s bone horn and placed it onto the large white jade table. He didn’t speak nor show any impulsiveness. Afterwards, he stood motionless, giving the others a feeling that he was a very deep and profound person.

“It actually is a ‘Shura’s bone horn. It is the part where the purest essence resides on the ‘Shura’s body. Just by refining it slightly, it can be turned into a ling’qi flying sword. Ah, it is just so hard to procure. It would have been even better if the ‘Shura’s entire body was brought back.”

Grasping the ‘Shura’ bone horn, the elders looked at Fang Han, seemingly in disbelief. However, since the ‘Shura’ bone horn was indeed a real one, they could only admit that he truly had the qualifications to take the inner court disciple a.s.sessment.

“Whether or not this ‘Shura’ bone horn is truly yours, or if you relied on someone else’s power to obtain it, you have brought it here, which is a great deed. Take this jade tablet, and after resting for three days, go to the ‘Sky Courtyard’ and enter the ‘Heavenly Devil Arena’ to accept your a.s.sessment. If you pa.s.s, you shall become an inner court disciple and reach a higher level in your studies. Furthermore, according to the school’s ancient rules, if a disciple kills a ‘Shura’, they shall be rewarded with a ‘Basic Spirit Pellet’ and a ‘Royal Grain Pellet’.”

As the elder spoke, he bestowed two small bottles and a jade tablet upon Fang Han. Afterwards, he waved Fang Han down.

“Many thanks for Long senior sister for leading the way.”

After accepting his rewards, Fang Han turned to the yellow clothes lady beside him and expressed his grat.i.tude.

“You don’t need to thank me. The inner court disciple a.s.sessment is different from the outer court disciple a.s.sessment. Every year, tens of thousands of disciples receive the qualification to take the a.s.sessment, but only a few hundred are truly able to pa.s.s it. However, since you are able to kill a ‘Shura’, then pa.s.sing the inner court disciple a.s.sessment shouldn’t be very difficult. In the future, you might become ranked on the Shan’he Rankings, in which case we might even become compet.i.tors, eh. I will be paying attention to you.”

The lady in yellow faintly smiled.
Fang Han was a man of few words, agreeing before backing away.

Based on the information he had just learned, he had pretty much figured out that this lady in yellow was an inner court disciple with a very high status, and perhaps even on the Shan’he Rankings.

He a.s.sumed that she was definitely placed above ‘Silver Snake Sword’ Yuan Jian Kong.

This was because Yuan Jian Kong was the last place on the Shan’he Rankings.

Within the ‘Crouching Immortal Courtyard’, Fang Han returned to his solitary, small courtyard. He felt a wave of calmness and relaxation hit him. After obtaining a spot within the inner court disciple a.s.sessment, he only had three days to readjust his body and mind before leaving for the ‘Sky Courtyard’s ‘Heavenly Devil Arena’ to take the brutal a.s.sessment.

The inner court disciple a.s.sessment was ten times more difficult than the outer court disciple a.s.sessment! It was also ten times more dangerous!

As he rested, he pondered over his many experiences – his confrontation with the desert bandits, killing the ‘Pink Prince’, going into the ‘Underground Abyss’ and killing ‘Blood Wolves’, ‘Blood Bears’, ‘Blood Bats’, ‘Yasha’, and ‘Shura’, etc., all kinds of Demons and Devils – rethinking them and judging his successes and failures. He hoped to correct his mistakes.

He pondered for an entire afternoon, all the way to night time. Fang Han felt as if his spirit was full, his body filled with confidence. He had reaped huge rewards from his experiences. He flipped open “The World”, looking for the part which explained the ‘Heavenly Devil Arena’s a.s.sessment.

“The World” was an encyclopedia which one obtained upon entering the school. It contained no basic cultivation methods, but was still very useful. It allowed disciples to learn about the world’s geography, the school’s rules, and it also clearly, with great detail, explained the various a.s.sessments.

The ‘Heavenly Devil Arena’ is a pa.s.sage that was opened by the Yu’hua School headmaster through immeasurable ‘Divine Realm’ powers. It linked the school to the void. Within the ‘Heavenly Devil Arena’, numerous numbers of ‘Heavenly Devil’s roamed around. It was extremely dangerous. Even if a disciple had great wisdom, perseverance, and achievements, upon entering the ‘Heavenly Devil Arena’, they still had to overcome the ‘Heavenly Devils’ bewildering effects. Only then could they rise to a higher level and become an inner court disciple.

So the ‘Heavenly Devil Arena’ is surprisingly this kind of place. Within the universe, there are heavenly, underground, and humanoid devils, three kinds. I have met humanoid and underground devils, but have still yet to encounter a heavenly devil. Legend has it that ‘Heavenly Devil’s don’t have an actual body, but are just a stream of flowing qi and thoughts. They bewilder cultivators. Only extremely high level ‘Heavenly Devils’ are able to form an actual body, and become a Devil King! Devil G.o.d!

[TL: So I just realized from this bit that I translated them as Sky Devils in a previous chapter, I think Heavenly Devil sounds better and it has more of a contrast. Comment thoughts below if you have any]

Fang Han calmly pondered to himself.

‘Heavenly Devils’ were rather different from ‘Underground Devils’. An ordinary ‘Heavenly Devil’ was but a wisp of thoughts. A slightly higher level one was just a wisp of qi flow, similar to ghost and apparitions. Only very high level ‘Heavenly Devils’ were able to materialize their strong Devilish thoughts into the embodiment of a ‘Devil King’.

The ‘Heavenly Devils’ ‘Devil King’ was very similar in strength with an ‘Underground Devils’ ‘Shura’. They were the equivalent of a ‘Divine Realm’ cultivator.

The ‘Heavenly Devils’ ‘Devil G.o.d’ was the equivalent of the ‘Underground Devils’ ‘Devil G.o.d’, and in turn a ‘Longevity Realm’ cultivator.

The ‘Heavenly Devil Arena’ was a place where the disciples’ mentalities were tested. The vast majority of the ‘Heavenly Devils’ were bodiless, and there was absolutely no chance for a ‘Devil King’ level one to appear. However, these bodiless ‘Heavenly Devils’ were still able to enter one’s mind and thoughts, taking control of one’s body. It was indeed rather horrifying. Disciples who underwent the a.s.sessment could only rely on their spirit’s strong perseverance to kill these ‘Heavenly Devils’ as they entered their minds.

‘Heavenly Devils’ are great! ‘Heavenly Devils’ are wonderful! At this time Yan suddenly exclaimed, ‘Heavenly Devils’ are one of the best ingredients for refining medicinal pellets.

I really don’t want to be possessed by ‘Heavenly Devils’, which cause people to not be people, ghost to not be ghosts. The Yu’hua School has hundreds of thousands of outer court disciples, each one part of the elite cla.s.s and born with much higher status than me. Yet only three to five thousand of them are able to become inner court disciples, demonstrating how difficult this a.s.sessment is, picking one out of a thousand. Furthermore, amidst the ‘Heavenly Devil Arena’, there is definitely always someone observing, and thus, I cannot use your powers. I can only exhibit my own techniques. It seems like I need to harshly practice.

Fang Han closed “The World”, and began thinking about how to practice.

He thought for a moment before his hand flashed. Several walnut-sized ‘Blood Pellets’ appeared in his hand. He squeezed them into one giant pellet and then threw it into his mouth, swallowing it after chewing it for a second.

Immediately, his stomach was permeated with a hot qi which diffused in all directions, pouring into his muscles and bones and going all the way up to his mind. His mind immediately felt a burst of heat, as if it was melting.

Such powerful medicinal effect!

Fang Han shook his head, feeling slightly drunk, but extremely comfortable, as if he were floating on a cloud.

Of course. This ‘Blood Pellet’s medicinal power is much greater than the ‘Basic Spirit Pellet’ that was just given to you! In the Yu’hua School, I daresay that this ‘Basic Spirit Pellet’ is an extremely hot commodity. Humph! The Yu’hua School’s food and drink, although exquisite, can only at most raise one’s flesh to the strength of six or seven horses, a far step away from the ‘Divine Realm’. Only through using various medicinal pellets can one continuously increase the quality of their body. If you want a horse to run fast, you must give it good food. This is a universal truth. Yan watched Fang Han swallow the ‘Blood Pellet’ that he had refined, and very proudly said, Hurry up and cultivate while the drug still hasn’t completely settled.

Upon hearing this, Fang Han quickly began using the ‘Primary Spiritual Technique’ while his body constantly moved, practicing techniques.

In his current state, he was seemingly drunk yet awake, in some kind of strange spiritual phase, as if he were practicing drunken fists. He felt no emotions in his heart, it was the best state for practice.

‘Beng, Beng, Beng’!

Under the constant usage of his body, a fierce tide of blood and qi unendingly rushed into his brain.

Two hours pa.s.sed, then four.

Fang Han unceasingly refined his flesh and tempered his spirit, resting when he was tired. When his spirit was full again, he continued his practice. He completely forgot the pa.s.sage of time.

Undergoing such high-intensity practice, his mind became clearer and clearer, and he was able to further understand his brain.

‘Hu’la’, suddenly, Fang Han’s foot crashed down, his palm thrusting outwards. The surrounding windows were broken by the vicious winds. The palm had released a vicious blast like an overwhelming tide.

Bang!

Blood and qi suddenly rose, Fang Han’s face becoming red. He felt within his mind a rather mysterious part.

The ‘G.o.dly Transformation Point’! This must be the ‘G.o.dly Transformation Point’!

As soon as Fang Han felt this mysterious part in his mind, his whole body shook. He knew he had finally broken through into the last level of the ‘Mortal Realm’, ‘G.o.dly Transformation’!

Within the mind, there was a point called the ‘G.o.dly Transformation Point’. It was the crucial point which controlled the organs of the entire body, and a body’s height and weight. If a person cultivated to the ‘G.o.dly Transformation’ level, they would be able to control this ‘G.o.dly Transformation Point’ and become able to slowly change their body’s characteristics! Afterwards, they would slowly become stronger as they changed their flesh to become ever more perfect!

[TL: Author’s note – The ‘G.o.dly Transformation Point’ is the equivalent of the pineal gland and pituitary gland]

‘G.o.dly Transformation’!

That was how the transformation part came along.
