Chapter 998: Righteous Heavenly Immortal
Chapter 998: Righteous Heavenly Immortal
“Two-Life Flowers bloom, causes and effects rise and fall. . . ”
Facing the seal of the Heaven and Earth Golden Light Buddhist Magic, the Chun Jun Jian seized the opportunity to stab.
Fang Xi, sensing something, suddenly let go at this moment, allowing the Si Chen Jian and Taiyi Formless Sword to fall. He actually offered his neck to the blade!
Pfft!
The next moment, he spread his arms wide, and the Chun Jun Jian pierced through his chest.
An incredibly dense metal-attribute sword qi instantly shredded his body and Primordial Spirit.
This scene shocked all cultivators.
“This. . . ”
He never imagined that the peerless fiend who had battled the Shu Mountain heroes, defeated the Great Wilderness Divine Monarch, and annihilated the Blazing Fire Patriarch of the Huashan School, would actually seek death voluntarily?
“This. . . ”
Upon seeing this, Yun Shan Shan felt her chest filled with grief and indignation, and two streams of clear tears involuntarily rolled down.
“Alas. . . why has it come to this, why has it come to this? ”
Duan Mu Long, having just achieved his Nascent Soul, was originally full of vigor and ambition.
But witnessing this unprecedented battle truly shattered his arrogance into nothingness.
And seeing Fang Xi inexplicably seek death left him utterly bewildered.
As soon as his body fell.
The boundless power of time in the sky instantly dissipated.
Fang Xi’s Past Self and Future Self exchanged a smile.
The Past Self waved a hand, and a mass of multicolored radiance suddenly appeared, vanishing with a flash of silver light between heaven and earth.
This was the World Origin he had brought this time.
Although this bit of Origin power was only a tiny fraction of the one-tenth that the Earthly Immortal World could utilize.
Compared to the entire Great Thousand World, it was simply insignificant.
But as the saying goes:
The merit accumulated by the orthodox Xuanmen sects and Buddhist sects in this world through providing medical aid and saving countless commoners was Human Dao merit, an internal self-circulation of heaven and earth, which actually couldn't increase their true gains by a single iota.
However, these World Origins were external substances, representing genuine gains, or rather. . . Heavenly Dao Merit!
For the world itself, Heavenly Dao Merit was naturally more important.
The Future Self also entered nirvana, but a black-and-white flying sword remained on his body, which was precisely the ‘Life-Death Sword’ refined from the ‘Life-Death Dao Fetus’!
“A trace of true spirit enters reincarnation, both boundless realms unseen! ”
Fang Xi sighed, as a wisp of the Future Self's true spirit, wrapped around the Life-Death Sword, faded into nirvana!
...
“Not good! ”
The next moment, countless tribulation clouds gathered in the sky!
Ling Chan Tong Zi continuously performed calculations with his right hand, but a look of terror appeared on his face: “Offending Heaven? ! This person. . . how could he possess such immense merit? ”
His heart was filled with profound grief and indignation.
Fang Xi’s actions clearly meant he was setting up the Shushan School!
But by now, it was too late.
Crack!
Above Ling Chan Tong Zi’s head, the wheel of golden merit appeared, and then threads of cracks spread across it, ultimately shattering and dissipating with a roar.
“Pfft! ”
Jue Qing Shi Tai had already suffered damage to her Primordial Spirit from Fang Xi's divine ability. At this moment, she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, almost angered to death: “My Shushan School’s merit. . . is gone? ”
This was actually more terrifying than killing her!
After all, as long as the Shushan School existed, with its vast Heavenly Dao Merit, even if she died, she could reincarnate into a good life.
In the future, she could be guided back and cultivate to immortality again!
But this time, by killing Fang Xi, their merit was instantly deducted into the negative. If they died, they would surely reincarnate as pigs or dogs, and might not find release even after ten lifetimes!
“My Shushan School. . . is finished. ”
Two streams of blood tears flowed from Di Xin He Shang’s eyes.
The current Shushan School, let alone ascending as an entire sect, would likely face an imminent disaster!
“Karma? ! ”
Moon Empty Abbess exclaimed.
As a pure Buddhist cultivator, she was even more sensitive to such tribulations.
Almost simultaneously with Fang Xi’s nirvana, a layer of crimson flame ignited on her and Tianlong Venerable's bodies.
This flame, like a red lotus, bloomed petal by petal, intensely beautiful, yet carrying the aura of karmic retribution.
“Having sown sinful causes, one must reap sinful consequences! ”
Moon Empty Abbess gave a bitter laugh, sat cross-legged, and silently recited Buddhist scriptures.
Immediately, her golden body, forged through a thousand trials and bitter cultivation, was instantly incinerated by the red lotus karmic fire, and a trace of her true spirit was forced into reincarnation.
Reincarnating with so much negative karma, she would surely suffer immense hardship in her next life!
“Daoist Brother Ling Chan. . . ”
Tianlong Venerable’s cultivation was more profound than Moon Empty Abbess’s, and the red lotus karmic fire was correspondingly even more immense.
At this moment, he pressed his palms together, and blood flowed from all seven of his orifices: “My Tianlong Temple has no regrets towards the Shushan School. . . ”
“Please rest assured, Buddhist Brother, my Shushan School will certainly look after your Dao lineage. . . ”
Ling Chan Tong Zi’s face was utterly pale, yet he still nodded, watching Tianlong Venerable pass away in meditation.
The Shushan School practiced both Buddhist and Daoist cultivation. Even though Di Xin He Shang and Jue Qing Shi Tai appeared as Buddhist practitioners, their foundation still lay in the orthodox Xuanmen magical power.
Because they did not directly cultivate karma, they were not immediately subjected to karmic backlash.
“Sect Master. . . ”
Yu Ying and Xin Hongyun felt restless in their hearts, almost feeling their magical treasures and flying swords slip from their grasp.
They were once Children of Destiny, blessed with unparalleled fortune. Strictly speaking, the elixirs and flying swords from their fortuitous encounters were ‘bought’ by them using their own merit from their original owners, even on installment plans.
But at this moment, they all became deadbeats who refused to pay their debts!
These magical treasures and flying swords immediately lost their connection to them!
If they insisted on holding onto them, they might even face disaster!
Ling Chan Tong Zi at this moment almost wished for death, knowing in his heart that this confrontation with Fang Xi had left them utterly devastated.
Not only did they lose many allies, but the Shushan School’s accumulated merit of many years was instantly wiped clean, turning negative.It was even possible that their Ancestral Masters who had ascended to the Heavenly Realm would be implicated!
After all, disciples of orthodox Xuanmen sects also bore the responsibility of earning merit for their Ancestral Masters, or rather, a loan. . .
Now, it had all exploded. . .
Their current situation was akin to those old demonic cultivators who had committed mass slaughter.
If cultivators annihilated the Shushan School, not only would they be guiltless, but they would have performed a meritorious service to heaven and earth!
‘Damn that Fang Xi, he has truly brought untold harm! ’
‘Why didn't he say earlier that he had such immense merit? My Shushan School would have surely treated him as a distinguished guest, even sacrificing one Ying and two Yun, sending them to be his disciples, Daoist Companions. . . ’
Ling Chan Tong Zi felt utterly helpless in his heart, practically wanting to vomit three liters of blood. Yet, he forced himself to gather his spirits and comforted them: “I can temporarily suppress our sect’s fortune with the Grand Purity Immortal Art, preventing immediate retribution. . . When we return, we shall initiate another Sword Duel, seize the fortune of the heterodox sects, and perhaps we can still cling to life. . . ”
As for the entire sect ascending?
That was unthinkable now.
Even if he could ascend as a Heavenly Immortal, Ling Chan Tong Zi would be overjoyed.
...
Earthly Immortal World.
Under the Demonic Tree of Primordial Beginning.
Fang Xi’s main body stretched its form.
At this moment, he stood between heaven and earth, incredibly harmonious with the Earthly Immortal World.
“Law of Reincarnation. . . so that’s it. ”
A look of satisfaction spread across his face, then he waved his sleeve.
In the void, a grey light gathered, transforming into a thread of the Law of Reincarnation!
Then, the threads condensed, forming a chain of laws!
His comprehension of the Law of Reincarnation reaching the level of an ordinary Immortal was an extremely rare feat in the True Immortal World, where reincarnation was obscure, and in its many affiliated Middle Thousand Worlds!
Finally, that chain of laws even continued to merge, taking the shape of a disc!
“Law Manifestation! A Wheel of Reincarnation? ”
Fang Xi’s eyes lit up: “A true spirit entering reincarnation truly brings immense benefits to me. . . ”
That wisp of illusory true spirit voluntarily entering reincarnation played an unimaginable role in Fang Xi’s comprehension of the Law of Reincarnation.
Especially directly observing the Law Manifestation of that Great Thousand World’s reincarnation – it was a disc!
This directly propelled his comprehension of the law to the ‘Law Manifestation’ level!
‘Now, my Laws of Void, Time, Reincarnation, Wood, and Earth have all reached the Law Manifestation realm. ’
‘The remaining Laws of Metal, Fire, and Water are just a matter of persistent effort. . . ’
‘The Eight Gates Sword Array, at least the Small Three Wonders Sword Array, is absolutely no problem. ’
‘Perfect, that Great Thousand World has someone who can provide experiments. ’
Fang Xi smiled indifferently, forming hand seals.
“Earthly Immortal Indestructible! ”
The Earthly Immortal Indestructible Art: As long as heaven and earth are not destroyed, I shall not perish!
The power of World Origin descended, directly transforming into the External Avatar of ‘A Sword in Shu’!
Even its cultivation was exactly the same as before!
Whoosh!
And at this moment, accompanied by a sword cry, a Life-Death Sword landed in the External Avatar’s palm. It was precisely the ‘Life-Death Sword’ formed from the Life-Death Dao Fetus!
This sword, having experienced reincarnation, finally achieved perfection, becoming a pure yang flying sword of nine transformations in form and quality!
“Go! ”
Fang Xi waved his hand, and with a flash of silver light, the External Avatar immediately vanished.
...
Divine Wood Island.
Whoosh, whoosh!
The Taiyi Formless Sword and Si Chen Jian leaped up directly, their dazzling sword lights instantly slicing into pieces the several rogue cultivators who had intended to pick up easy gains nearby.
Among them was Zhuo Yi Fan. . .
Although this person had some fortune and opportunities, being an enemy of Fang Xi directly deducted his fortune into negative numbers.
Before, he was blinded by greed, wanting to pick up Fang Xi’s flying swords, and as a result, he met his death tribulation!
With his merit and karma, without the vast accumulation of the Shushan School to offset it, he would likely need to reincarnate in the Animal Path for a hundred lifetimes before having a sliver of a chance for release!
Whoosh, whoosh!
Two streaks of sword light landed in Fang Xi’s hands, and together with that Life-Death Sword, he had exactly three Immortal-grade flying swords!
Coupled with his comprehension of the three Law Manifestation realms!
All conditions for the Small Three Wonders Sword Array were now met!
Fang Xi let out a long howl, feeling that the last layer of tribulation had finally faded from his ‘Primal Chaos Innate Five Elements Magneto-Force magical power’.
Within his Five Elements Primordial Spirit, the Primal Chaos Immortal Seal was completely refined.
At this moment, he had instantly entered the Heavenly Immortal realm!
‘My tribulation for achieving Heavenly Immortal was one of certain death! Meaning I should never be able to become a Heavenly Immortal. . . ’
‘According to the calculations of the orthodox Xuanmen sects, this should be the case, but I am somewhat different. . . ’
‘Now, I have escaped reincarnation with the All-Heavens Precious Mirror, and instantly recovered to my peak with the Earthly Immortal Indestructible Art. . . It’s equivalent to being reborn and immediately returning to peak power! ’
‘Since I have already ‘died’ once, the death tribulation has dissipated, and the killing tribulation is complete. . . After all, there’s no logic in being shot twice in a row! ’
‘The tribulation has been overcome, so naturally, I am a Heavenly Immortal. ’
“Mountains and rivers meet again, all future encounters are foreseeable! ”
Fang Xi let out a long laugh, looking at the suddenly pale Shushan School cultivators: “Everyone. . . we meet again. ”
At this moment, he had overcome his killing tribulation and achieved the rightful position of a Heavenly Immortal!
While the Shushan School cultivators were all utterly plagued by misfortune, down on their luck to the extreme!
Of course, if one’s magical power was sufficiently strong, even with extreme decay of fortune, they could still maintain their state and avoid tribulation!
Therefore, Fang Xi was here to send the Shushan School cultivators on their final journey!
This was the true settlement of karma!
“Fang Xi! ”
Xin Hongyun gave a tragic smile: “Our karmic entanglement began with Hongyun, I beg you to show mercy and spare the Shushan School. . . ”
She pressed her jade palm to her forehead, and her Earthly Primordial Spirit instantly dissipated, a wisp of her fragrant soul drifting towards reincarnation. . .
