Chapter 1,157: Blessings and Curses Intertwined

iaorou screamed, standing in front of Zhao Shuang'er, her eyes red with tears.Zhao Shuang'er is her best friend, she absolutely cannot let Fang Yu get close to Zhao Shuang'er!Fang Yu's face was expres...These youthful energies are the result of Fang Yu's cultivation techniques, absorbing the surrounding Qi.

...which are similar to spiritual energy, but also different in some way. ...

At this moment, these emerald scents are trapped in the meridians at the very end.

The intense heat emanating from the Dragon and Phoenix Origin was very apparent...they were pushing back against this energy.

It is obvious that the Dragon-Phoenix Origin doesn't want to absorb this green qi.

Fang Yu's heart skipped a beat.

This is a very special situation, he's encountering it for the first time.

Even the super spiritual energy absorbed from a single activation of the Dragon and Phoenix Origin could be absorbed, so it would naturally not reject this green qi because of its strength.

There must be other reasons...

As for the reason, Fang Yu couldn't make it clear.

But he could faintly feel that the Dragon-Phoenix Origin had a disdainful attitude towards this green energy.

The heat in the dantian area was becoming increasingly intense.

Fang Yu's heart moved, he circulated the true qi in his meridians, forcibly expelling this green qi from his body.

Fang Yu opened his eyes and raised his right hand.

A wisp of green qi emanated from Fang Yu's right palm, vanishing into thin air.

Once the trace of green energy dissipated within his body, the fiery sensation vanished.

But what was happening inside had caught Fang Yu's attention.

Before this, he had absorbed the spiritual energy of many people... The Dragon and Phoenix Origin accepted everything without discrimination, never exhibiting such a repulsive act.

But this time... why is it so different

"It seems... the aura of Dao Fruit for cultivation within the Holy Academy is problematic." Fang Yu thought to himself.

After thinking for a moment, Fang Yu stood up directly.

The essence of the dragon and phoenix repelled him, so he naturally couldn't continue cultivating.

Now, what he needs to do is... figure out the situation here, and then find Dao Kong and Wu Chenzi.

"It's all shrouded in secrecy...I just don't believe it."

"Whoosh!"

Her eyes flashed red, white runes appearing within her pupils.

When facing the unknown, insight is always the best approach.

"As expected, it's still a collection of independent spaces connected in various ways."

A playful smile appeared on Fang Yu's face.

Within the purview of Insight's gaze, he could clearly see each independent space interconnected.

After the vision narrowed, these spaces resembled tiny glass beads, arranged in an orderly fashion.

There are sixteen independent spaces in total, which are divided into four layers when viewed from the side.

Each layer has four independent spaces, and the four independent spaces have passages that run through them.

However, these spatial passages are not entirely unobstructed; a seal stands in their way.

And each layer's four independent spaces have no passageways to the upper level, you can only move between the four independent spaces on the same level.

Fang Yu is currently located in Qiong Shang Dong Tian, which is on the second floor.

And those four selectable caves mentioned by that figure should be the remaining three caves on this level of Fang Yu.

At the beginning, Fang Yu was absorbed by the Holy Court and directly teleported to the second layer of the Void Cave Heaven... Then he was taken by a figure to the Upper Sky Cave Heaven.

And the seals within the passages between each of these celestial realms, perhaps only that figure could easily break.

"It's just like a prison... That figure is the jailer, and only he has the key to other grottoes." Fang Yu thought, "But there are no passages to the upper or lower levels... That means the figure can only move people between the four independent spaces on the same level."

Fang Yu didn't think too long.

His aim was to find Dao Kong and Wu Chen Zi.

If there are spatial channels within the same layer, then it would be very easy for him.

As for the seal within the passage... it wouldn't be a problem for the other party at all.

If even an empty passage can be created through the Void Ring and Eye of Insight, surely a mere seal is no obstacle.

"The one on the left must be the Void Cave. There's no need to go there, so let's head to the right."

After choosing a good location, Fang Yu raised his right hand and activated the Kongling ring.

"Whoosh!"

A blue glow emanated from Fang Yu's body.

Fang Yu instantly vanished from atop the lotus leaf, entering the spatial tunnel.

Through the Eye of Insight, Fang Yu easily forced the seal within the space tunnel to be lifted.

"Whoosh!"

Fang Yu's body once again became light and airy, drifting towards the next celestial realm.

In less than thirty seconds, Fang Yu landed on the ground.

To be precise, it's the ice surface.

All around him, as far as the eye could see, there was thick, translucent ice. The temperature was extremely low.

And ahead of Fang Yu, there was only one withered tree..

This withered tree has no leaves, only dry branches.

"The Dao Fruit of this heavenly realm... Could it be that it wants this withered tree to bear fruit" Fang Yu stared at the withered tree before him, his eyes wide. "Then the difficulty of this is greater than the previous one… and the environment is much worse."

Fang Yu looked around, but saw no one.

"There's no one here, so let's move on to the next one." Fang Yu didn't linger too long and once again activated his Kong Ling Ring, heading for the next cave heaven.

……

Upon landing once more, the scene before me shifted again.

The ground of this grotto is cracked and black-red, and through the fissures one can see the magma below.

The temperature here is the opposite of the last Heaven's Domain, extremely hot.

"No one... I'm the only one on this level" Fang Yu frowned.

After some thought, he looked up and peered through his Eye of Insight at the layer above.

When Fang Yu's vision broadened, he realized... he could directly pierce through spatial barriers and see what was happening in the four independent spaces on the floor above.

The environments within these independent spaces are basically very similar.

Either extremely harsh or surprisingly comfortable.

But no matter what, the only thing one can do within this space is... to sit down and cultivate one's Dao fruit.

After a quick glance at the overview of the four independent spaces, Fang Yu began from the leftmost one...and zoomed in on the space within.

This space is a lush green forest.

"The environment is pretty good," Fang Yu thought to himself.

Fang Yu glanced casually through the green forest, and at once his gaze locked onto a figure.

This figure is concealed by layers of green leaves.

But the gaze of insight, is still able to see the outline of this figure.

Just a glance, Fang Yu's eyes changed.

"Pretty good luck...Dao Kong, I caught you again." Fang Yu had a cold smile on his face.

He could be sure, this figure was Dao Kong!

Because Dao Kong's body contains the origins of several spirit beasts... his aura is extremely strange, and his physical structure is much more complex than that of ordinary cultivators.

Based on this outline's pose, Dao Kong is currently meditating in an open space amidst the green forest.

"I'm going to find you now."

Fang Yu closed his eyes, activated the Kongling Ring, and began to establish a spatial tunnel.

……

Inside the Biling Cave of Heaven.

A man with a full head of silver hair sits cross-legged, his eyes tightly closed.

He was surrounded by a forest of green trees.

And about two meters in front of the man, there was a sapling growing.

This man... is Dao Kong, who escaped death.

Since being rescued by the Holy Institution, he had been brought to this greenwood.

On the one hand, it is about recovering from injuries. On the other hand...it is about cultivating the Dao Fruit for a second time.

A misfortune may also bring a blessing.

Though Dao Kong found himself in dire straits, he was given another chance to enter the Holy Institute and the opportunity to solidify his second Dao Fruit.

This made him overjoyed.

You have to know, the last time he entered the Holy Academy... was two hundred years ago.

Without the Holy Academy, Dao Kong would have been an ordinary cultivator, reaching only the core formation or Nascent Soul stage before slowly exhausting his lifespan. He would never have achieved what he has today.

The last Dao Fruit bestowed upon him a touch of Xianji, allowing him to comprehend how to utilize the essence of spirit beasts to strengthen himself. It also revealed many untold secrets to him.

Entering the Divine Court for a second time... obtaining another Dao fruit... what would it bring It's unimaginable.

But Dao Kong was very clear, everything within the Holy Institute... would not be simple.

If he could obtain a second Dao Fruit, he would once again have the capital to fight that damned Fang Yu!

This time he was defeated thoroughly, being crushed by Fang Yu in every aspect.

But next time, when he obtains his second Dao Fruit... everything will be different!

The first Dao Fruit allowed him to transform from an ordinary cultivator into the current leader of the Half-Spirit race, easily defeating Huixu.

It goes without saying that the second Dao Fruit would elevate him to unimaginable heights.

He will first slay Fang Yu, then ascend to the Immortal Gate!lings he has"But I think, judging by my mother's style of doing things, the prince she sent out would definitely not be weaker than me," Cang Yu said."Your strength... should be at the bottom among pr...
