Chapter 1032: Samsara Dao Seed (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)
"I am Wan Shou Zun Zhe, under Zi Yin Dao Zi!"
Wan Shou Zun Zhe snorted coldly, "You have quite the audacity, daring to kill people under our Dao Child. . . Was Jun Xie Tian Mo of the Yin Mountain Society slain by your hand?"
"What if he was?"
Fang Xi replied indifferently.
Just then, a ripple appeared in the void behind him, and a strange spirit monkey suddenly materialized.
This spirit monkey was only the size of a human head, yet its movements were incredibly agile. Its claws were even fitted with metal grappling hooks.
The grappling hooks appeared to be immortal artifacts specifically forged for this monkey; though small and exquisite, a closer look revealed countless secret patterns inscribed upon their surface.
Such a swift sneak attack, even an immortal like Yu Xiu, might very well suffer a heavy loss!
The next moment.
Streaks of Zi Wu Divine Light emerged, accompanied by a peculiar flying sword.
With a single twist, the small spirit monkey, adept at using its grappling hook immortal artifacts, shrieked and was utterly annihilated, body and soul.
—The Si Chen Sword!
"The Law of Time?"
Wan Shou Zun Zhe's expression changed, a hint of anguish in his eyes.
This 'Heaven-Stealing Monkey' was something he had painstakingly refined; paired with its specially forged 'Heaven-Stealing Claw' immortal artifact, even an immortal at the Dao Monarch's second step would suffer greatly if caught off guard.
Yet, he hadn't expected the opponent to have advanced so far in the Law of Time.
That sword light, which seemed to freeze time itself, instilled a profound sense of awe in his heart.
"Go!"
With a flick of his sword art, Fang Xi sent the Si Chen Sword forth, transforming into twelve incomparably swift sword lights.
The overwhelming Zi Wu Divine Light converged, subtly forming a formation that trapped Wan Shou Zun Zhe within.
Upon seeing this, Wan Shou Zun Zhe roared furiously, tearing at his robes with both hands. The beast hide armor ripped apart like paper, revealing countless ferocious beast tattoos across his chest and back.
Profound Deer, Six-Armed White Ape, Saber-toothed Tiger, Subduing Dragon, Nine Phoenixes. . .
One by one, ferocious beasts comparable to immortals materialized, each letting out a roar.
At this moment, the myriad tattooed beasts seemed to come alive, restoring each ferocious beast to its peak state from its former life!
Wan Shou Zun Zhe's magic power surged, bringing an extreme sense of oppression.
Even more terrifyingly, his Primordial Spirit appeared behind his head, its form monstrously grotesque, seemingly encompassing the characteristics of every ferocious beast.
Within his Primordial Spirit, the illusion of a grand platform appeared!
Upon this illusory platform, a peculiar 'Dao Seed' slowly materialized!
It was not a Dao Seed prototype, but a true Dao Seed!
The first step of the Dao Monarch realm, achieved by a Perfected True Immortal, requires one's magic power to reach its peak and the condensation of a Dao Seed!
And Wan Shou Zun Zhe, having reached the Dao Monarch's second step, had already constructed this illusory platform within his Primordial Spirit. However, his Dao Seed merely floated above the jade platform, not yet fully integrated into it, thus preventing him from beginning the third step of 'Sitting in Oblivion' cultivation.
Even so, his ferocity still surged to the heavens!
If he were in the North Star Immortal Domain, he could even rank among the top ten immortals!
"This is. . ."
Fang Xi's heart stirred as he sensed the fluctuations of a Law's power.
This particular Law's power contained terrifying auras of savagery, bloodlust, and battle, along with the faint roar of ten thousand beasts.
"The Myriad Beast Dao Seed!"
Wan Shou Zun Zhe roared furiously, commanding numerous ferocious beasts capable of contending with True Immortals, coalescing them into a battle formation.
Innumerable strange beasts roared, threads of malevolent qi soaring into the sky, subtly gathering into a bizarre ferocious beast that seemed poised to pounce.
Fang Xi's expression turned serious, and his sword art shifted.
"Life-Death Sword, emerge!"
The Life-Death Flying Sword materialized, like a Taiji Diagram of Yin and Yang, mediating between time and space.
The Taiyi Formless Sword and the Si Chen Sword flew in unison.
The Small Three Wonders Sword Array was complete!
A hazy gray sword light slashed out, colliding with the pouncing ferocious beast.
The ferocious beast suddenly froze in mid-air.
Then. . .
The radiance on its body began to crumble inch by inch.
Streaks of sword qi descended, causing Wan Shou Zun Zhe's expression to change. One of the tattooed beasts on his body visibly disintegrated. . .
Zheng!
A sword's clear cry suddenly resounded.
The Life-Death Flying Sword hummed, and upon it, a Life-Death Dao Seed prototype emerged, surprisingly transforming from illusory to real!
With a single sword strike, life and death were reversed!
The next moment, an expression of both surprise and horror appeared on Wan Shou Zun Zhe's face: "A Life-Death Dao Seed, you are. . ."
Whoosh!
With a flash of sword light, his Primordial Spirit had already begun to dissipate.
Seeing this, Fang Xi simply reached out and swept his hand.
Amidst a flicker of silver light, he and Wan Shou Zun Zhe vanished simultaneously, reappearing on a peculiar mountain peak.
Qing He Shan!
Seeing this, the Outer Dao Incarnation from Shushan, 'A Sword from Shu', likewise showed no hesitation, reaching back to touch the back of its head.
A Five Elements Primordial Spirit, seemingly imperishable through countless kalpas, flew out, instantly enveloping Wan Shou Zun Zhe.
Within the Primordial Spirit, there was also a Dao Artifact, the 'Illusory World Mirror', radiating brilliant light.
Wan Shou Zun Zhe's Primordial Spirit rapidly dissipated, and scattered fragments of memories emerged, which Fang Xi's Five Elements Primordial Spirit swiftly captured and analyzed one by one.
"An immortal at the Dao Monarch's second step, in the Jade Platform realm. . ."
"My single avatar, going all out, can now resolve such existences?"
The two 'Fang Xis' sat opposite each other, both smiling.
"This person might still have some tracking or other methods on him. . ."
"But it doesn't matter. If Zi Yin Dao Zi can find his way to this Great Thousand World of Shushan, then what if I turn myself in?"
Fang Xi muttered to himself.
With a flash of silver light, that Outer Dao Incarnation returned to the Yuanli Celestial Immortal's secret realm, preparing to properly clean up the aftermath and then utterly destroy the place, leaving not a trace behind.
As for the Outer Dao Incarnation on Qing He Shan, its expression stirred, silently recalling the information gleaned from the soul search.
"The 'Myriad Beast True Scripture'. . . What Wan Shou Zun Zhe cultivated wasn't bad; it could be considered a ninth-rank beast-taming legacy."
He gazed at Wan Shou Zun Zhe's body.
This immortal's cultivation path was different from ordinary immortals; it involved refining numerous beast souls into his body, a path of dual cultivation of both dharma and physique.
Now that he was dead, the tattoos on his body would each transform into devils, rising in rebellion.
If not restrained, so many 'Outer Realm Demonic Devils' would bring immense suffering to the current Shushan World.
"Illusory World Mirror, go!"
A mirror, seemingly carved from black jade, appeared in his hand—it was precisely the 'Illusory World Mirror'!
With a slight turn of this Dao Artifact, a beam of illusory light enveloped Wan Shou Zun Zhe.
Under the mirror's light, the immortal's body instantly dissolved into nothingness.
One by one, the tattooed beasts materialized out of thin air, transforming into small ferocious beasts, then immediately plunged into the mirror surface of the Illusory World Mirror, like pebbles dropped into a lake, finally vanishing without a trace. . .
'The Illusory World Mirror is a Dao Artifact after all; dealing with an immortal, especially a dead one, is naturally incredibly simple. . . '
With a thought, Fang Xi's divine consciousness entered the Illusory World Mirror, where he saw the 'Immortal Lord Space'.
In the world corresponding to the Immortal Lord Space, the heavens and earth suddenly resonated, and peculiar sentient beings began to emerge.
These were all the essences of rare and exotic beasts that Wan Shou Zun Zhe had accumulated over countless years, now becoming the foundation of this small world.
This act directly caused this small world to give birth to many ferocious beasts comparable to Primordial Spirit True Immortals, and even subtly hinted at the gathering of demonic beast race's luck. . .
Inside the mirror world.
"Awoo!"
A demonic wolf, several meters long and covered in silvery-white fur, suddenly howled at the moon for some unknown reason.
Almost at the same moment, countless flying birds and walking beasts, and even savage exotic species, all experienced a surge in their auras. . .
"Ah. . . why are these demonic creatures so powerful?"
"Didn't they say that in ancient times, humans were the spirits of all creation. . . that ten years of cultivation for a cultivator surpassed a demon's hundred or even thousand years?"
A wave of 'reincarnators' saw this scene and instantly despaired.
Roar! Roar!
Accompanying a ferocious eight-headed Xiangliu spitting venomous water, the spiritual light from these reincarnators' spells immediately extinguished like matches in a storm, then were corroded into puddles of pus. . .
This time, the Immortal Lord's mission resulted in yet another team wipe!
And when the reincarnation mission concluded, as Fang Xi flipped the Illusory World Mirror, the world was instantly re-forged into earth, fire, wind, and water.
Each true spirit, encompassing numerous cultivators and rare exotic beasts, entered the cycle of reincarnation, awaiting the start of the next reincarnation mission.
"Samsara. . ."
Fang Xi withdrew his gaze, muttering to himself.
The next moment, around his body, an inexplicable fluctuation of Law appeared.
The Law of Samsara descended, and a half-black, half-white Samsara Disk materialized, slowly rotating.
Finally, it continuously collapsed inward, transforming into a Dao Seed prototype!
"A Samsara Dao Seed prototype. . . It's finally formed."
Seeing this scene, a hint of joy involuntarily appeared on Fang Xi's face.
"A Law of Samsara that doesn't even manifest in the True Immortal World. . . I wonder what power I'll wield by merging with it?"
"Now that the Samsara Dao Seed prototype has been achieved, all that's left is to continuously refine it with 'Dao Monarch Pills'. . . for a Dao Seed to solidify from illusion into reality is a matter of course."
"My mission in this world is already half-complete. The rest is just casually collecting flying swords, and assisting in comprehending the method of Gold Immortal Primordial Spirit transformation. . ."
He took a step, and with a flicker of his figure in the void, he arrived in a new world.
Mei Shan Da Xue.
Deep within a secret chamber.
A certain coffin suddenly opened, and a hand, covered in bandages and still seeping blood, crawled out from within!
"Heh heh. . . I have finally succeeded. . ."
"The Corpse Liberation Method!"
Qi Ming Chan's voice rang out.
However, compared to before, it was dry and hoarse. . . as if his throat had been ruined.
As the foremost among the Thirty-Six Orthodox Laws, the Corpse Liberation Immortal method, though immensely powerful, was also exceedingly difficult to cultivate.
It required 'transitioning from death to life'!
Qi Ming Chan truly lived up to his status as a cultivation prodigy; relying on merely a few fragmented cultivation methods and other gains from his Immortal Lord Space missions, he audaciously completed the technique and brazenly began the 'Taiyin Refining Shape'!
More crucially, he actually succeeded!
"Indeed. . . no madness, no mastery!"
"Only by becoming a Corpse Liberation Immortal can there be any hope of success in the Immortal Lord Space missions. . . only then can I eliminate that damned Ling Chan Tong Zi!"
Qi Ming Chan murmured.
...
Fang Xi stood at the gate of Mei Shan Da Xue, withdrawing his gaze. He looked at a plain-looking student nearby and asked, "Failed your college entrance exam?"
"Yeah. . . But with my scores, I probably wouldn't have gotten into Mei Shan Da Xue anyway," the student said with a bitter smile, being quite honest.
"Even if you can't get into Mei Shan Da Xue, you can still cultivate the Dao. . ."
A strange expression played on Fang Xi's lips as he smiled and said, "I have a technique called the 'Mortal Law'. Are you willing to learn it?"
