A few days later, Fu Daoxian started to carefully approach the place where Fang Xuan was cultivating.
Over the past few days, she had already found out that when Fang Xuan was training, he would send away all the palace guards. It was the best chance for her.
Pretending as if she had lost her way, Fu Daoxian’s eyes were filled with innocence. While revealing a hint of a lost and anxious expression, she carefully entered the garden.
Not long later, she saw a young man sitting cross-legged in a small pavilion on the water. His eyes were closed tightly, and his chest, palms, and soles were facing upward like he was cultivating his internal arts.
Fu Daoxian’s eyes narrowed, and her nose twitched. She could already tell the depths of Fang Xuan’s martial arts from his breathing and heartbeat.


‘Hmph, to think that he hasn’t even cleared up his conception and governing vessels and hasn’t even reached the Xiantian Realm. The Great Jin Dynasty is already at its end.’
In this world, the powers attained from martial arts were far too important. As a leader, although he was at a young age, he had not even reached the Xiantian Realm. It was no wonder that Fu Daoxian looked down on him.
A hint of spite flashed in her eyes. Then at the next moment, she continued to assume her innocent and perplexed appearance. She went down a nine-turn bridge 1
  and headed in the direction of the small pavilion in the water.
However, she had merely taken a few steps when she revealed a hint of astonishment on her face.
It was because she could hear swooshing sounds through her ears, coming from the inside of Fang Xuan’s body. They were seething like a great river.
‘This is… He happens to be striving to clear his conception and governing vessels?’
At the next moment, a series of soft pitter-patter sounds emerged from Fang Xuan’s body as if a series of meridians had been cleared. A long whistle then came out from his mouth.
He successfully reached the Xiantian Realm and was able to release his internal Qis. It could be said that he had attained quite a good success.
‘He has reached the Xiantian Realm?’
Fu Daoxian’s brows raised slightly, revealing a hint of joy on her face. ‘It’s a great chance to plant the Art of Heavenly Emotions when he has just reached the Xiantian Realm and his Qi activities aren’t stable yet.’


At the thought of this, she moved forward, appearing to be stumbling and very weak. Instead, she was actually abnormally fast, shooting out in Fang Xingjian’s direction.
However, when she was ten meters away, Fang Xingjian’s body once again emitted a loud rumble 
that was like the evening drum or morning bell.
‘This is… striving to clear the eight extraordinary meridians?’ Fu Daoxian frowned, ‘Is this guy crazy? He has just attained the Xiantian Realm and should slow down to nurture his essential Qi. He should wait till his eight extraordinary meridians filled up the conception and governing vessels, before considering striving to clear the eight extraordinary meridians.’
However, at the next moment, something that took Fu Daoxian by surprise occurred. Under her gaze, Fang Xingjian’s clothes suddenly swelled up. It was as if countless Qi forces were blowing under his clothes.
At the next moment, a series of firecracker-like sounds rang out from Fang Xingjian’s body. Accompanied by each explosive sound, streams of currents would shoot out from the surface of his body.
A short moment later, the sounds stopped.
Fu Daoxian exclaimed,
It was a success?

For a cultivator to strive for the Xiantian Realm before her eyes and then straightaway clear their eight extraordinary meridians, arriving at the Xiantian Realm in the blink of an eye… She found this simply unbelievable.
However, at the next moment, something that was even harder for her to believe occurred. Fang Xingjian stood up and plunged his body down slightly. Then an invisible force shot out from his body like a huge dragon crawling on the ground.
As he finished his series of actions, Fu Daoxian could sense countless amounts of essence gushing toward his body from the ground.


‘He… To think that he’s going to strive for the Disha Realm?’
Fu Daoxian’s eyes were wide open and his mouth was agape as countless Disha Qis gushed into Fang Xingjian’s body. Very soon, they gathered toward his heart, seemingly all drawn into a black hole that could not be seen by the naked eye.
At the next instant, Fu Daoxian felt something being born in Fang Xingjian’s body. A stream of invisible aura rose up like a star, having a connection with the earth.
‘The first acupuncture point—the one in the heart—and the Disha Realm have been cleared just like that?’
Till now, Fu Daoxian was still in some disbelief regarding the scene that had happened before her eyes. This guy, who had still been an ordinary cultivator just a short moment ago, had attained a series of consecutive breakthroughs and reached the Disha Realm within the time of a few breaths.
Moreover, after Fang Xingjian refined the first acupuncture point to his body, he could sense the seething and majestic essential Qi in his body, as well as the Qi from the earth that was gushing up from under his feet. He frowned slightly and stopped refining the next acupuncture point.
‘It’s really as I expected. This world is a little strange.’
The earthly Qi that Fang Xingjian absorbed could be used to refine his acupuncture points. With each additional acupuncture point refined at the Disha Realm, one’s physical body would become increasingly stronger, and the amount of earthly Qi absorbed would grow increasingly as well. The earthly Qi could be converted into essential Qi, and his essential Qi would become increasingly stronger.
Through Fang Xingjian’s senses, he found that this earthly Qi—the Disha Qi—was described in all the secret manuals as the power which was released from the depths of the earth. However, he could sense the Disha Qi was different from the Qi absorbed from the depths of the ground.
‘These are definitely not natural powers but the powers that some kind of living creature or expert cultivated. They have traces, similar to those of martial will, left behind by life forms.’


Fang Xingjian frowned slightly. He could sense through his Sudden Inspiration that if he did not find a way to get rid of the special mark in the Disha Qi, then the more trouble would be for him in the future as he engulfed more earthly Qi and refined more acupuncture points.
Therefore, he did not forcibly continue the cultivation. Coming to a stop, he raised his head and looked toward Fu Daoxian who was standing dazedly to one side.
After seeing Fang Xingjian’s gaze, Fu Daoxian’s heart skipped a beat. However, she continued putting up her perfect acting of being a lost young maid. While wearing a horrified expression, she said,
My lord, please pardon me. Have I disturbed your training? I can’t find my way back and ended up here after going around.

Her expression made it appear like she was going to break into tears at any moment. It would garner the pity of people and would easily make men feel an urge to protect her.
However, after she said these, a palm pressed down gently on her body.

I’ve been waiting for you for very long, Demon Sect’s female Saint.

That few softly spoken words flashed past Fu Daoxian’s ears like a streak of lightning. She was about to make a move explosively when she realized that the essential Qi in her body had been completely suppressed by an unfamiliar power, making her unable to move.
Fu Daoxian turned her head with great difficulty, bellowing inwardly, ‘It’s that hidden Tiangang Realm expert in the royal family!’
However, when she turned her head, what appeared before her was a young face. It was Fang Xingjian.
Fu Daoxian was stunned for a moment. She looked at the Fang Xingjian who was before her and then at the Fang Xingjian who was in the small pavilion. She could sense that both Fang Xingjians were breathing and both their hearts were beating. They were both actual existences and not some essential Qi clones.


At the next moment, she broke into a strange smile.
Interesting. This will be it for today. The next time around, there will be important characters from our Sacred Sect paying you a visit.

As she spoke, the essential Qi in the maid’s body scattered out into the world, slowly dissipating onto the land. Fu Daoxian had dispelled the essential Qi clone in the maid’s body.
Fang Xingjian’s brows twitched as he saw the essential Qi slowly dissipating on the land.
Outside the Divine Capital, Fu Daoxian’s actual body woke up abruptly as she recalled everything she saw earlier, ‘What’s going on? Why are there two Fang Xuans who look exactly the same?
‘And to think that one of them has reached the Tiangang Realm? No, although I said that it’s the Tiangang Realm, the feeling he gave me was completely different from Master’s.’
Just as Fu Daoxian was contemplating these, she had already stood up, pulling a series of afterimages after her that flashed consecutively in the air like an illusion.
Although the other party did not know where her actual body was located, Fu Daoxian would not underestimate any Tiangang Realm expert. Therefore, she fled rapidly, in case the other party managed to catch up to her.
However, before leaving 100 meters from the place, she had just stepped out from the forest when she saw a man with his back facing her. He stood there with his hands behind his back like he had been waiting for her for a very long time.
That man turned over, looked at Fu Daoxian, and smiled.
It’s best if you stay behind, Lady Saint. I still have many questions regarding the Demon Sect that I need your help to resolve.

It was Fang Xingjian.
Fang Xingjian was naturally interested in the Demon Sect since it was where the last known Great Dao Realm expert had appeared.
