Chapter 2896: Chapter 2896: Tremendous Gains

Several days later, in the Chaos Realm’s Golden City, Fang Bai’s reputation soared.

Even the Golden City Lord, the Tiankui God Emperor, didn’t expect that Fang Bai, whom he had secretly been keeping an eye on, would make such a name for himself in Golden City.

Holding dual roles as both Alchemist and Artifact Refiner, regardless of alchemy or artifact refining, his success rate reached fifty percent, and the quality was excellent.

How could someone like Fang Bai not attract attention? How could he not be in demand?

The divine elixirs and divine artifacts Fang Bai refined encompassed the entire Divine Emperor Realm, and since the powerful figures within Golden City were primarily of the Divine Emperor Realm, countless Divine Emperor Realm experts from various clans came to request Fang Bai’s alchemy and artifact refining.

Even the few Divine Emperor Realm experts within Golden City actively sought to befriend Fang Bai.

Although Divine Emperor Realm experts currently do not need Fang Bai’s divine elixirs and divine artifacts, given Fang Bai’s aptitude and talent, he would sooner or later advance to the Divine Emperor Realm, at which point he would have the ability to refine Emperor Realm divine elixirs and divine artifacts.

Instead of drawing closer to Fang Bai in the future, it was better to establish goodwill now.

Thus, in the ensuing days, Fang Bai not only forged friendships with numerous Divine Emperor Realm individuals but also became close friends with several Divine Emperor Realm experts.

Transforming from an unknown, friendless mid-level Divine Emperor Realm expert into a well-connected, social powerhouse, Fang Bai indeed created a miracle in Golden City.

Many powerful figures noted that Fang Bai publicly stated he would never refine divine elixirs and divine artifacts for the Dark Clan, thus speculating that Fang Bai had previously had conflicts with the Dark Clan.

In fact, ever since the Dark Principal God revealed his ambition and launched widespread conquests, most of the other eleven Principal Gods and their ruled experts opposed or did not support this.

While the Golden Principal God did not stand directly opposing the Dark Principal God, he warned the Dark Principal God not to infringe upon the interests of the Golden Clan or cause trouble within his dominion.

This indirectly expressed a dissenting attitude.

The Golden Principal God did not favor the Dark Principal God, hence most experts within his domain harbored aversion and even hostility towards the Dark Clan.

Take Golden City, for example, where the Dark Clan’s experts were unwelcome, causing the dozen or so stationed Dark Clan experts to mostly remain within their temples, seldom venturing out.

Thus, Fang Bai’s refusal to refine alchemy or artifacts for the Dark Clan was met with widespread support and praise within Golden City.

Some experts even approached Fang Bai, offering to teach the Dark Clan a lesson on Fang Bai’s behalf if he had grudges against them.

To this, Fang Bai politely declined.

In Fang Bai’s words, revenge should be personally executed to truly satisfy oneself.

Regardless, Fang Bai had already become a highly recognized figure within Golden City, drawing the attention of numerous powerful figures.

Even the Golden City Lord, the Tiankui God Emperor, had secretly dispatched his subordinates multiple times to forge relationships with Fang Bai.

During this period, Fang Bai greatly benefited, gaining not only connections but also attaining vast cultivation resources from the Chaos Realm, enough for his next advancement.

Fang Bai thought, as long as he could advance another small realm, combined with his ability to battle across levels, he would possess the strength to contend with Divine Emperor Realm experts. As long as he didn’t encounter formidable entities like the Twelve Principal Gods with Supreme Divine Power, he could roam the Chaos Realm freely.

It was said that the Twelve Principal Gods, arrogant with their identity and power, would typically not show themselves or intervene unless their race faced life-and-death situations.

Thus, Fang Bai felt that once he possessed the power to fight Divine Emperor Realm experts, he would be generally safe anywhere.

Having accumulated sufficient cultivation resources, Fang Bai announced externally that he would temporarily stop refining alchemy and artifacts to focus on cultivation.

Though many waiting for Fang Bai’s divine elixirs and divine artifacts in Golden City were disappointed, all expressed support.

To them, the higher Fang Bai’s realm and the stronger his power, the higher the grade of the divine elixirs and divine artifacts he crafted, benefiting them more.

Therefore, when Fang Bai prepared to enter secluded cultivation, some experts volunteered to guard the surroundings of Fang Bai’s temple, protecting him.

When Fang Bai entered seclusion, a spectacle unfolded as ten thousand powerful figures guarded the area around his temple, becoming a remarkable sight in Golden City.

The Golden City Lord, the Tiankui God Emperor, occasionally swept his Divine Sense over Fang Bai’s temple, ready to aid in secret if he discovered any disturbances.

As for the Dark Clan within Golden City, they initially planned to seize opportunities to ambush Fang Bai and other temple deities with Innate Spiritual Roots. However, upon realizing the vast number of Fang Bai’s supporters in Golden City, they understood that they couldn’t immediately deal with Fang Bai and hence temporarily suppressed their actions.

Some Dark Clan’s experts secretly left Golden City, returned to their dominion, and reported Fang Bai and other temple experts having many Innate Spiritual Roots to their Upper Gods, hoping for support.

Fang Bai’s seclusion lasted a full nine years.

During these nine years, the temple deities continuously made breakthroughs, all advancing to the Divine Emperor Realm.

Fortunately, Fang Bai arranged formations for each of them, isolating them from each other, thus preventing any mutual influence during their advancement.

After advancing to the Divine Emperor Realm, the temple deities did not rush to end their seclusion but continued consolidating their realms until Fang Bai sent a transmission before his advancement, instructing them to leave promptly. Only then did they gather outside the temple, waiting for Fang Bai.

"Everyone, when I advance, it might stir quite a commotion. To avoid affecting you, please keep your distance."

Fang Bai’s voice spread into the ears of the ten thousand strong figures guarding the area.

Although he set formations to block the breakthrough impact wave, this advancement was extraordinary, and he knew the formations might not withstand the impact wave generated during the breakthrough, hence he reminded the deities.

Thus, upon hearing this, the ten thousand strong figures quickly flew outward, stopping only thousands of miles away.

"Hmm?"

Before Fang Bai’s breakthrough, chaotic energy surged within him. Suddenly, the Golden City Lord, the Tiankui God Emperor, felt something and spread his Divine Sense toward him, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He sensed that this breakthrough by Fang Bai might not be as simple as advancing a small realm.

In the next moment, he appeared above the temple where Fang Bai and the temple deities resided, waving to set a layer of Divine Power barrier around the temple to prevent the destructive impact wave during Fang Bai’s breakthrough from causing destruction to the surrounding buildings.

He also wanted to see what realm Fang Bai’s breakthrough could achieve.

"Boom!"

The energy within Fang Bai abruptly erupted, transforming into an impact wave and expanding outward.

His previously arranged formations blocked nearly half of the impact wave’s power before crashing.

The remaining impact wave continued to spread outward, but fortunately, there was the Tiankui God Emperor’s Divine Power barrier. Otherwise, within a thousand-mile radius, everything would turn into dust.
