Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1945 - 1927: The Holy Soul Sect’s Assignment

After a full four hours, Fang Yan finally awakened from his statue-like state. A ray of brilliance shot from his eyes, embodying a sense of awe that seemed to daunt the world. It left the many Demon Venerable Realm demon beasts below stunned, not understanding what had just happened. However, they all knew that this mere four hours of enlightenment had undoubtedly elevated Fang Yan’s strength to a new level, which explained his current extraordinary aura.

"Mr. Fang, congratulations on your advancement in Cultivation Power!" The Dark Flame Nine Nether Wolf approached Fang Yan at this moment, smiling and expressing admiration in his tone. He could tell that with Fang Yan’s cultivation talent, if Fang Yan advanced to the Earth Immortal Realm, there would be no one beneath the Earth Immortal Realm in the Eternal Joy Immortal Realm that could rival him. Such a person was indeed worth befriending, especially since Fang Yan was also an Alchemist. With these two identities combined, Fang Yan’s future path would be unimaginable for ordinary people. Perhaps Fang Yan might even become the first Heavenly Immortal Realm powerhouse in the Eternal Joy Immortal Realm.

"Congratulations, Mr. Fang!"

"Congratulations, Mr. Fang!"

"Congratulations, Mr. Fang!"

...

Other Demon Venerable Realm demon beasts also offered their congratulations on the side. The stronger Fang Yan became, the happier they were. Given the relationship between the Heaven Demon Forest and Fang Yan, they genuinely celebrated his success from the bottom of their hearts.

"You’re exaggerating. I just had an enlightenment about some things." Hearing the many Demon Venerable Realm demon beasts say this, Fang Yan smiled warmly and said, "Thanks to everyone for sparring with me during this time. If any of you ever need my assistance in the future, just let me know."

"Mr. Fang, you’re too polite."

"Mr. Fang, you’re too polite!"

...

Upon hearing Fang Yan’s words, the many Demon Venerable Realm demon beasts immediately responded. Fang Yan’s humility was evident. Except for the Dark Flame Nine Nether Wolf, anyone who sparred with Fang Yan ended up miserably beaten, and his strength was truly beyond their expectations. Moreover, after each sparring match, Fang Yan always offered various Heavenly Grade Elixirs as compensation. If this wasn’t humility, then what was?

Within the surroundings, Fang Yan chuckled softly and said nothing more. Suddenly, he remembered it had been over a month since he’d seen Qin Kun and Wu Shan, so he turned to the numerous demon beasts and asked, "Where are those two little brothers of mine? They’re not dead, are they?"

"I’ll be right back." At this moment, a Demon Venerable Realm demon beast famed for its speed called out, then transformed into a stream of light, shooting into the distance. Shortly after, it returned to Fang Yan’s side, holding Qin Kun and Wu Shan.

After gently setting them down, the demon beast stood aside. Qin Kun and Wu Shan, having just recovered from their dizziness, immediately saw Fang Yan and were overjoyed. They rushed toward him.

"Clang... clang..."

Two consecutive crisp collision sounds were heard as if the two had hit an invisible glass wall, falling to the ground. However, this did not dampen their excitement.

"Boss, it was incredibly exciting to fight during these days. Everything in the Cultivation Technique that was previously esoteric and hard to understand has become clear and comprehensible. This feeling is simply amazing!" Looking at Fang Yan, Qin Kun couldn’t be happier. The arrangements made by the boss had indeed caused a significant surge in his strength, and the feeling was simply wonderful.

"Boss, the two of us have been taking turns fighting various types of Demon Immortals during this time. Such intense battles are really exhilarating." Wu Shan also expressed his thrill, recalling the intense battles of this period and feeling a surge of excitement in his heart. Without these insane battles, he and Qin Kun could not have adapted so quickly to the Human Immortal Realm’s strength, nor could they have enhanced their combat skills so rapidly. With Fang Yan’s guidance, they could now even challenge Mid-Stage Demon Immortal Realm beasts without losing!

"Mm, it’s good that you two have made progress." Looking at the two of them, Fang Yan also sensed the improvements from their aura, which had become stable, indicating significant growth. However, after glancing at their wounds, he smiled, tossed two pills to them, and took a step back.

Qin Kun and Wu Shan, seeing the elixirs, consumed them without hesitation. During this time, they had been frequently injured as demon beasts’ bodies were robust and healed quickly. In contrast, they had to rely on elixirs to maintain their combat speed, so they had long run out of them.

Seeing the two of them absorbing the elixir’s potency, Fang Yan said nothing. He turned to the various Demon Venerable Realm demon beasts and stated, "Thank you for sparring this time. Once these two heal, I plan to take them somewhere else for a look."

This was part of Fang Yan’s plan. To enhance strength, relying solely on battles wasn’t enough. Occasionally, time was needed to settle down, which is why Fang Yan intended to take the two of them somewhere for a serious closed-door practice session, to digest the experiences of these battles.

"Mr. Fang, if you don’t mind, please come to my valley. With me there, no one can disturb the three of you." The Dark Flame Nine Nether Wolf stepped forward. He understood Fang Yan’s intention. Instead of letting Fang Yan search elsewhere, it was better to invite them to his valley. With him present, the valley was indeed a tranquil place where no one dared to intrude.

"That could work." Fang Yan pondered for a moment and felt that the Dark Flame Nine Nether Wolf’s proposal was excellent. Initially, he thought of going into seclusion at the Sect, where it would be quiet. However, that required time, so having Qin Kun and Wu Shan enter seclusion here was more urgent. As the Dark Flame Nine Nether Wolf mentioned, no demon beast in the Heaven Demon Forest dared trespass on his territory.

Turning to look at Qin Kun and Wu Shan, who were healing with all their might, he nodded slightly and started chatting with other demon beasts.

"Mr. Fang, we can’t understand why your Gang Qi is so formidable?"

"It’s actually quite simple, just merge your Gang Qi. However, you demon beasts lack Gang Qi, which complicates matters."

"We’re demon beasts; how could we have Gang Qi..."

"What were those two brothers of mine like before?"

...

The conversations between Fang Yan and various demon beasts flowed seamlessly, and time swiftly passed by. Before long, more than an hour had elapsed, and neither Qin Kun nor Wu Shan showed any signs of awakening. Fang Yan said nothing about this. Just as he was about to continue chatting with the many Demon Venerable Realm demon beasts, an unexpected event occurred.

Fang Yan suddenly felt the Communication Spirit Jade at his waist resonate. Seeing the message from the caller, he promptly connected the call.

"Elder Shi, is there something happening?" Fang Yan asked with some curiosity after connecting, for he knew that Shi Kuohai wouldn’t contact him via the Communication Spirit Jade unless something significant was occurring.

"Fang Yan, you three need to return quickly; the Holy Soul Sect has sent someone and simultaneously issued a mission." Shi Kuohai’s voice came from the Communication Spirit Stone, indicating Fang Yan and the others should hurry back to the Sect.

"Understood, Elder Shi!" Receiving the order, Fang Yan abruptly ended the call, moved to stand beside Qin Kun and Wu Shan, and with a wave, two golden streams of Gang Qi appeared, encasing the two to expedite their healing process.

After only a few breaths, Qin Kun and Wu Shan opened their eyes, looking at Fang Yan in confusion. They wondered why Fang Yan had suddenly helped with their healing. But just as they were puzzled, Fang Yan spoke up.

"Hurry back to the Sect with me."

As soon as his voice fell, Fang Yan soared into the sky, quickly followed by Qin Kun and Wu Shan, who, though still unclear about why they needed to rush back to the Sect, trusted that something significant might have transpired.

Moving swiftly, they had no time to ask questions. When they reached the sky heading towards the Sect, Qin Kun and Wu Shan finally spoke up.

"Boss, why are we returning to the Sect in such a hurry?"

"Yes, has something happened?"

Both Qin Kun and Wu Shan were perplexed at this moment, not understanding why Fang Yan wanted to rush back to the Sect.

"The Holy Soul Sect has sent someone to the Sect, and unless I’m mistaken, a new task might have been issued." Fang Yan explained briefly before focusing on speeding up.

Hearing this, Qin Kun and Wu Shan understood Fang Yan’s intention. Now that Fang Yan was a Reserve Taoist Master, all that remained was to accomplish a significant achievement. If Fang Yan could excel at this mission, no one in the Sect could obstruct Fang Yan from becoming a Taoist Master. Realizing this, they found it perfectly reasonable for Fang Yan to rush under such circumstances.

Thus, they refrained from any further questions, honestly following Fang Yan in haste.

Traveling at full speed, the three of them returned to the Sect in less than four hours, headed straight to the Heavenly Court, and arrived at Shi Kuohai’s room.

"Elder Shi, what’s the situation now?" As soon as Fang Yan entered the room, he promptly questioned Shi Kuohai.

"An Inner Sect Disciple from the Holy Soul Sect has arrived, bringing a mission. The Sect is currently selecting people to execute the task. However, from what I heard, it seems they want to take all the Taoists, and the Sect Master and the others are negotiating this issue." Seeing Fang Yan’s return, Shi Kuohai hurriedly explained.

"Then I’ll go take a look." Hearing Shi Kuohai’s statement, Fang Yan was ready to leave immediately. He couldn’t let the task fall into someone else’s hands. This mission would determine whether he could become a Taoist Master and explore the core intelligence, so he didn’t hesitate at this moment.

However, just as Fang Yan was about to leave Shi Kuohai’s cottage, someone unexpectedly entered from outside—it was Fifth Elder Zhou. This left Fang Yan momentarily stunned, unsure of why Elder Zhou had come to find him at this juncture. Before Fang Yan could speak, Elder Zhou began to talk.
