Chapter 1033: Two Mahayana Cultivators

Chapter 1033: Two Mahayana Cultivators

“Among the Thirty-six Orthodox Laws, there doesn't seem to be a ‘Mortal Law’! ”

This student, Ma Jun, had led an ordinary life, yet he was well aware of the great name of the Thirty-six Orthodox Laws.

At this moment, his expression was somewhat hesitant, suspecting he had encountered a swindler.

After all, incidents of swindlers loitering around prestigious universities and deceiving students' parents under the guise of expanded enrollment or lowered scores had been reported many times on the internet.

“How can the Mortal Law compare to the Thirty-six Orthodox Laws? ”

Fang Xi smiled proudly: “The so-called ‘Mortal Law’ is the path of achieving self, seizing the fortune of heaven and earth, and encroaching upon the spiritual essence of the sun and moon, all with a mortal body, ultimately ascending to immortality! It is a path that defies the heavens. . . ”

In truth, purely in terms of aptitude requirements, the Mortal Law could indeed be said to open a great door of convenience compared to the Daoist methods of this world.

After all, it was a system where, as long as one had rare heavenly treasures and cultivation techniques, even spiritual roots and spiritual bodies could be shaped later on.

Ma Jun's expression grew even more wary as he clutched his wallet.

He only knew one thing: anyone who asked him for money was a swindler.

“No money is needed; it is only gifted to those with destiny. ”

Fang Xi's gaze seemed to fall upon Qi Ming Chan, who was slowly adapting to becoming a ‘Corpse Liberation Immortal’, and a subtle curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

That person, with great courage and immense perseverance, endured the Taiyin Refinement of Form, transforming from life to death and then from death to life again, finally managing to cultivate the ‘Corpse Liberation method’. Yet, upon realizing the world's version had updated and the Mortal Law had become mainstream, what kind of mood would they be in?

Ma Jun's wary expression didn't diminish in the slightest. He called out, “Even if you don't want money, I won't agree to taking out loans or acting as a guarantor. Even if you say you'll give me money, I don't want it! ”

At least he had received a new-era education; he knew there was no such thing as a free lunch, and he preemptively blocked all possible avenues.

“No money. I only ask you, are you willing to learn? ”

Fang Xi's expression was calm.

If this person answered unwillingly, then there was no destiny, and he would definitely turn and leave without another word.

Throughout the world, there were countless talented individuals eager to cultivate; he wouldn't miss this one.

Most geniuses ultimately ended up like ordinary people, fading into the crowd!

“I. . . I am willing to learn! ”

Even though he clearly knew it was likely a scam, Ma Jun was still willing to give it a try, even if there was only a one in a thousand or one in ten thousand chance.

“Good! ”

Fang Xi smiled faintly and tapped the center of this person's brows with a finger.

Ma Jun cried out in alarm, feeling as if a brick had been shoved into his head, and instantly fainted.

“Ah! ”

Before he lost consciousness, he vaguely heard the exclamations of people on the roadside.

...

“Ah. . . unfamiliar ceiling, and this familiar smell of disinfectant. . . ”

A dazzling light shone down, causing Ma Jun to open his eyes.

“Oh, son. . . ”

Beside him, a dust-covered, travel-worn middle-aged woman had slightly reddened eyes, and she wiped away tears with a handkerchief: “You truly scared your mother to death. . . ”

“I. . . what happened to me? ”

Ma Jun's voice was hoarse.

“Patient, you’ve been unconscious for over two days. . . ”

A nurse holding a medical record book beside him spoke: “A kind person saw you collapse by Meishan University and sent you to our Love Hospital. . . After examination, there’s nothing seriously wrong with your body; it might just be extreme fatigue. . . ”

“Meishan University. . . right. ”

Ma Jun's heart stirred, and immediately, an endless dread surfaced: ‘Could it be. . . I encountered a Demonic Cultivator? ’

Among the Thirty-six Orthodox Laws, many had both righteous and demonic cultivation methods.

If even the orthodox methods leaned towards heterodox paths, then the so-called ‘demonic methods’ were naturally even worse, invariably involving the use of living people's flesh, blood, and even souls to refine artifacts.

Ma Jun suspected that by merely answering, his soul had been stolen.

He subconsciously looked at the phone on the bedside table, wanting to call the police, but then suddenly froze.

Recalling carefully, the person who claimed to teach him the Mortal Law now had a blurry memory, so indistinct that he couldn't even recall their height, build, or whether they were fat or thin.

He only felt that the other person was dressed very retro. . .

‘Mortal Law? That's right, Mortal Law! ’

Ma Jun's heart stirred, and suddenly, a cultivation method appeared in his mind.

This cultivation method was called the ‘Hunyuan Art’, and from the initial step of Qi Influx into the Body, through Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul. . . every step was incredibly complete!

‘It's actually real! ’

‘A new method outside the Thirty-six Orthodox Laws? ’

‘This. . . is this a heaven-sent opportunity? ’

Young Ma Jun clenched his fists, and new hope ignited in his eyes. . .

...

Qing He Shan.

After Fang Xi concealed this mountain, it truly felt as if it had transcended the Three Realms and was beyond the Five Elements.

But at this moment, outside the mountain range, winds surged and clouds gathered, accompanied by thunder and lightning.

The Six Yao Yin Water Great Array churned ceaselessly, showing signs of being breached!

“Indeed, once a cultivation method is imparted, the karma is immense! ”

When Fang Xi saw this scene, a smile appeared on his face. Then, his right hand moved with lightning speed, his primordial spirit entrusted to the void, and he began to deduce the future.

“Once the Mortal Law emerges, the Thirty-six Orthodox Laws will immediately become unimpressive. . . ”

“The Era of Dharma Decline itself might even change because of this! ”

“This is a change in the great trend of heaven and earth, with profound karma and continuous slaughter tribulations. . . ”

“Though I don't know why the Golden Immortals and those above Golden Immortals in the upper realms would promote the Dharma Decline in the lower realms. . . this action has undoubtedly disrupted their plans. ”

“Perhaps, truly, great figures like Golden Immortals or even Dao Monarchs will descend to the world? ”

At this moment, he had a premonition, and he further knew that in the future, he would face a death tribulation!

Fang Xi let out a scoff: “Fine, if I die, I die. . . ”

Anyway, his External Avatar was just a virtual true spirit; he wouldn't feel much heartache if it died.

On the contrary, such a great change, unprecedented in a myriad of ages, was even more suitable for fishing in troubled waters and pulling chestnuts out of the fire. . .

...

Earthly Immortal World.

Beneath a towering demonic tree that pierced the heavens and earth.

Fang Xi's main body sat cross-legged, his demeanor quite leisurely.

“Hmm? Ghost Axe, Tumo, they've both reached Mahayana as well. . . ”

Suddenly, he sensed something and looked in a certain direction.

Since completely refining the Earthly Immortal World, he hadn't changed much, merely occasionally drawing upon some of the world's primordial essence, not enough to impede its operation.

At this moment, he sensed two locations where Mahayana Immortal Lightning Tribulations were gathering.

Moreover, the ones undergoing tribulation were acquaintances.

Fang Xi swept his spiritual sense over them and paid them no further mind.

At this point, he was certain that both of them would successfully pass their tribulations and achieve Mahayana!

As for the Yao race, Demon race, and alien races. . . they were truly miserable, for even the power of their lightning tribulations was super doubled.

If this continued, they would inevitably weaken, and even perish. . .

‘This is my Earthly Immortal World. . . Under my protection, the Human Race's development has entered a golden and glorious era. . . ’

‘But now, the situation seems to have changed a little. . . ’

Fang Xi recalled the Ascension Alliance, his expression slightly solemn.

After all, within this Ascension Alliance, there existed a Dao Monarch.

And for a Dao Monarch's faction to send one or two immortals down to a lower realm posed little issue.

The Azure Cloud Dao Monarch, he was a great figure who originated from the Earthly Immortal World!

‘Ugh. . . we are all Human Race, so it shouldn't come to that. As for the Ancestral Dragon and Primordial Phoenix, if they dare to descend, I'll just exterminate them. . . ’

Fang Xi was indifferent to this.

Even after cultivating the ‘Earth Immortal Undying Method’, it would be difficult for a Dao Monarch to truly kill him.

After all, even a Dao Monarch couldn't completely destroy a Middle Thousand World.

Or rather, if they did destroy it, they would pay a heavy price!

The Azure Cloud Dao Monarch himself was Human Race; he wouldn't do such a thing.

‘With my strength, even if the other party paid everything to forcefully destroy the Earthly Immortal World, I could still escape. . . so it doesn't matter. ’

Fang Xi's spiritual sense swept over these two locations, and then connected with the Many Treasures Heavenly King.

Ever since the ‘Primordial Spirit Pill’ was truly put on the market, it had greatly ignited the enthusiasm of the Human Race Mahayana cultivators.

Unfortunately, now that the Human Race dominated the Earthly Immortal World, there were no true opponents.

Even earning merit points was difficult.

They could only accumulate little by little, slowly enduring.

This led to some Mahayana cultivators' reputations among Integration cultivators continually declining, turning them into ill-behaved elders who snatched missions and suppressed juniors. . .

‘If Mahayana cultivators in the Earthly Immortal World cultivate to become immortals, they can also ascend as long as I don't stop them. . . though they will ascend to the Immortal Cleansing Pool corresponding to the North Star Immortal Palace. . . that's a problem. ’

In the past, it would have been fine; at worst, they would just become Star-Guards for others.

But now, with a large number of Star-Guards rebelling, the lives of these ascended immortals would most likely be even harder.

‘I must find a way; fortunately, there's still plenty of time. . . ’

Even for old Mahayana cultivators like Qing Xu Tong Zi, ascension was still a distant prospect. RAN/O:b|ES

On average, the immortal lightning tribulations for Human Race Mahayana cultivators occurred only once every few millennia, or even tens of thousands of years.

Some Mahayana cultivators even spent their entire lives unable to await their ninth immortal lightning tribulation, then their lifespan would run out and they would pass away. . . This was actually a rather good outcome, and many secret arts for delaying lightning tribulations were specifically designed for such situations.

As for Shui Lingxin, Yunxi, and others Fang Xi paid attention to, their ascension to immortality was even further into the unforeseen future.

‘Perhaps by then, the Ascension Alliance will be strong enough and have already occupied the Immortal Cleansing Pool of the North Star Immortal Palace. . . ’

Fang Xi didn't know much about the ‘Immortal Cleansing Pool’; he had only read about it in a few ancient texts, and it indeed had some benefits for True Immortal primordial spirits.

At the very least, without the Immortal Cleansing Pool to guide them, ascended immortals' ascension destinations would be entirely random; they might even ascend directly into dangerous immortal realms like the ‘Endless Treasury Valley’.

If their luck was bad, it was entirely possible for them to perish immediately upon ascension.

Of course, within the Immortal Cleansing Pool, there were certainly some restraints and limitations, which the various immortal palaces generally used to control the ascended immortals.

Perhaps the atmosphere and degree of restrictions varied among different immortal domains, but it was clear that they were all unbearable for ascended immortals.

This was why the matter of the Azure Cloud Dao Monarch occurred!

‘If the Ascension Alliance isn't up to the task then, perhaps I should lend a hand? ’

Fang Xi sat cross-legged, the branches of the Ancestor Demonic Tree spreading above his head.

Strands of multi-colored primordial essence of heaven and earth emerged, continuously absorbed by his primordial spirit.

Benefiting from this, Fang Xi's Earth Immortal magical power once again advanced by leaps and bounds.

“At this rate, within a millennium, my Earth Immortal magical power should be perfected. ”

After this cultivation session, a hint of joy appeared on Fang Xi's face.

Within his palm, a prototype Dao Seed of Reincarnation slowly emerged, followed by a Dao Seed of Life and Death and a prototype Dao Seed of Void.

“Three choices for a Dao Monarch? ”

“I should visit the Sun Moon Divine Mountain a few more times. . . Fellow Daoist Luo Mi is a warm-hearted person; she surely wouldn't hesitate to impart her wisdom. . . ”
