Chapter 1047: Sun Calamity
Chapter 1047: Sun Calamity
“Righting wrongs, restoring ancient glory! I, Huang Long Chao, will not shrink from this! ”
The young Huang Long Chao's heart surged with emotion as he declared.
“Excellent. . . ”
The elderly man, radiating an immortal aura and an air of venerable wisdom, stroked his beard and smiled. “This old man shall now impart to you a supreme technique, known as the 'Great Yellow Heaven Law'! Cultivate this method, and your progress will be swift as a thousand li a day; becoming a Sword Immortal in ten years, and an Immortal in a hundred, will be within your grasp! ”
He stretched out a finger, and an inexplicable incantation entered Huang Long Chao's sea of consciousness.
Immediately after, the young man's eyes rolled back as he fainted, then was sent out of the dream realm.
Witnessing this scene, the old man let out a sinister chuckle and snapped his fingers.
The golden palaces, jade towers, and immortal blessed lands all vanished instantly, transforming into an boundless sea of blood.
This old man was, naturally, Fang Xi.
He formed a hand seal with one hand, and another pale-skinned, stern-faced youth was pulled onto the sea of blood.
“This. . . where is this? Wasn't I in death row prison? ”
The youth gazed at the scene, his ashen eyes flickering.
“Hehehe. . . You brat, you've killed countless people, even daring to slay a scion of an aristocratic family. You're very much to this old ancestor's liking. This old ancestor simply wishes to take you as a disciple. . . ”
Fang Xi let out a sinister cackle, perfectly embodying the demeanor of an ancient demon lord.
“Offering courtesy for no reason, implies either treachery or theft! ”
The youth, however, sneered. “I'm not even afraid of death, what more can you do to me? ”
“Young one, you still know too little of the ways of the world. . . ”
Fang Xi shook his head, and immediately sent a scroll of the "Blood Sea Great Law"—a technique that required one to be flayed alive, then have secret demonic runes embroidered onto their skin with golden needles—into the person's mind.
Listening to the other party's screams, he couldn't help but chuckle. “Blood Demon adheres to bone, soul-devouring and spirit-hunting. . . Having accepted this old ancestor's 'Blood Sea True Scripture', you shall wish for life but find none, wish for death but cannot die. . . If you wish to transcend, there is only kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill. . . ”
He paid no mind to the youth's response, kicking him out of the dream realm with a single foot.
Immediately after, the boundless sea of blood transformed again into a scene of picturesque mountains and clear waters.
A female cultivator with exquisitely beautiful features and an extraordinary aura appeared at some unknown moment, her expression a little lost.
Then, a jade pendant fell from thin air, which she instinctively reached out and caught. . .
...
Grand Academy.
Fang Xi, in his true form, walked along the tree-lined pedestrian path.
Students on both sides hurried to make way, bowing respectfully.
They actually regarded him entirely as that Grand Censor from the Ma family.
Fang Xi maintained his usual aloofness, ignoring them.
The other students, though accustomed to it, remained exceptionally deferential.
After all, this Grand Censor might not remember who had bowed to him, but he would certainly remember who had not!
A slight change of a single character during assessment could ruin a person's future!
Fang Xi, however, couldn't be bothered to pay them any mind.
At this moment, he merely thought: ‘The seeds have been sown. . . now to wait for the opportune moment. . . ’
He gazed in a certain direction, a hint of expectation in his eyes.
...
Earthly Immortal World.
The Ancestor Demonic Tree still blotted out the sky and obscured the sun.
Fang Xi's main body sat cross-legged beneath the Ancestor Demonic Tree, a faint smile on his face.
“After several trials, I've finally confirmed that the Earthly Immortal World can fully withstand me after I've suppressed ninety percent of my magical power. . . ”
“Compared to the True Immortal World, a golden cage and silver abode truly can't compare to one's own humble dwelling; at least it's safe here. . . ”
The Dao Monarch's immortal might was vast; merely entering a Middle Thousand or Small Thousand World could cause it to burst!
Of course, in doing so, the Dao Monarch would gain no benefit, and would inevitably suffer backlash from destroying a world!
It would be a mutually destructive outcome!
The same was true for Fang Xi, with the sole exception being the Earthly Immortal World!
The origin of this world had been completely refined by him, perfectly aligning with his aura.
Thus, even after barely suppressing ninety percent of his own magical power, he could enter the Earthly Immortal World without worrying about bursting it apart.
At this moment, he sat cross-legged, envisioning an All-Heavens Precious Mirror within his primordial spirit.
A Reincarnation Dao Seed, the largest in size, was enveloped by the radiant glow of the All-Heavens Precious Mirror.
Surrounding it, more than ten slightly smaller Dao Seeds revolved and circled. . .
Among them, a silver-white Void Dao Seed continuously drew closer to the Reincarnation Dao Seed, even causing faint silver patterns to appear on the latter's surface.
“Using the Reincarnation Dao Seed as a foundation, fusing with the Void Dao Seed. . . ”
“For this kind of daily cultivation, which is merely comprehending laws and not a breakthrough, there's no need to go to the True Immortal World. . . ”
“But when breaking through to the Dao Venerable realm, I definitely still need to do so in the True Immortal World. Even the Shushan World won't do, let alone other Great Thousand Worlds. . . ”
Fang Xi opened his eyes.
His pupils instantly split, as if transforming into six slightly smaller pupils, which began to slowly rotate.
Within the dense Laws of Reincarnation, a faint trace of the power of Void Laws gradually emerged.
“Other Immortals, after proving themselves as Dao Monarchs, surely pursue the most perfect Great Dao. . . ”
“But I can actually make it simpler: merely fuse with the Void Dao Seed, and achieve the 'All-Heavens Reincarnation Great Dao'! ”
“Firstly, the Void Dao Seed is most closely related to my golden finger. If I weren't afraid of being locked onto by a Time-Space Dao Venerable through Great Dao Resonance when achieving Dao Monarch, I would have directly become a Void Dao Monarch. . . ”
“Secondly, unlike other Dao Monarchs, I shouldn't remain long at the Dao Venerable realm. . . As soon as I achieve Dao Venerable, I can immediately gain complete control of the All-Heavens Precious Mirror, obtain the Dao Fruit, and transcend. . . ”
“Which means, as soon as I break through to Dao Venerable, I will possess the power to suppress and slay the Time-Space Dao Venerable and the Yin Yang Dao Venerable. . . ”
“Therefore, cultivating to become a Dao Venerable is the top priority. There's no need to rush for a perfect Great Dao; I can simply take the simplest, easiest path. . . ”
With the 'All-Heavens Precious Mirror' opening up Great Thousand Worlds one after another, this 'All-Heavens Reincarnation Great Dao' was clearly the most suitable for Fang Xi.
In fact, it could be achieved with great ease!
‘I wonder what's happening in the True Immortal World now? ’
‘But it should be in an uproar, right? ’
A faint smile appeared on Fang Xi's lips.
To acquire information, inquiring in the North Star Immortal Domain was naturally the most suitable course of action.
But at this moment, it was clearly inconvenient for him.
‘Hmm? It's not convenient to show my face in the North Star Immortal Domain. . . but in other Immortal Domains of the True Immortal World, it's quite convenient. ’
‘What's more, I still have an online communication forum! ’
Fang Xi's thoughts stirred.
Then, a youthful figure clad in an earthy yellow robe emerged—it was the Mountain Pearl avatar!
This avatar was still at the Immortal realm, but among all Immortals, its combat prowess should be considered top-tier.
Fang Xi prepared to send this External Avatar to the True Immortal World, instructing it to travel to other Immortal Domains, such as the Western Paradise Profound World and the Vast Sea Immortal Domain, to leave behind as many Void Coordinates as possible.
Additionally, it could go to the Sun Moon Divine Mountain to gather information.
...
Sun Moon Divine Breath Great Array.
At the foot of Thousand Tablet Mountain.
Fang Xi's figure slowly emerged.
At this moment, he could vaguely sense the location of the formation spirit of this grand array.
However, with the dual concealment of his secret art and the All-Heavens Precious Mirror, he had nothing to fear.
Looking around, he was slightly surprised: “It's quite lively here. . . ”
Although there were tens of thousands of Immortals on Sun Moon Divine Mountain, they weren't always present here.
But now, many Immortals seemed to have logged on with impatience.
His divine consciousness swept out, and he flew in one direction.
Before a jade tablet mountain, numerous Immortals sat on the ground, disregarding decorum, drinking and conversing freely.
One of them was none other than Wan Xiao Tong!
“Fellow Daoist Wan. . . ”
With a flash, Fang Xi appeared beside Wan Xiao Tong. “Why are there so many fellow Daoists in this divine mountain recently? ”
Wan Xiao Tong smiled upon seeing Fang Xi.
After the blow from the incident with Tian Chong last time, he seemed to have become much more composed. “It's just that recently, many Dao Children have been attempting to break through to the Dao Monarch realm, making the Immortal World quite lively. . . ”
“Oh? Many? ”
Fang Xi's eyes flickered.
“Indeed, it began in the North Star Immortal Domain, where rumors spread of an unprecedented 'Reincarnation Dao Monarch' emerging, drawing the attention of all active Dao Venerables. . . This created a window, prompting some Dao Children to begin attempting to break through to the Dao Monarch realm! ”
Wan Xiao Tong explained in detail.
In fact, any Immortal who had lived long enough could generally know some information and taboos regarding Dao Seeds.
Some even knew that they would never be able to attain the Dao in their lifetime, and that once they did, great calamity would surely befall them!
But these Immortals might only learn this after fusing their Dao Seeds at the Jade Platform realm, thus making their path unchangeable.
“But this time, it's an opportunity. . . The Reincarnation Dao Monarch somehow established a connection with many Dao Venerables, albeit a faint one, but it stirred up most of the Dao Venerables in the True Immortal World, drawing their attention. Naturally, some fearless Dao Children are attempting to prove themselves as Dao Monarchs! ”
Wan Xiao Tong's face was flushed with excitement.
After all, the True Immortal World was vast and boundless; even a Dao Venerable couldn't arrive anywhere in an instant.
And this was the best opportunity for those Dao Children connected to the Great Dao to attain it!
While the Dao Venerables' attention was drawn by Reincarnation, and their true bodies headed to the North Star Immortal Domain, they seized the chance to break through to Dao Monarch!
After achieving Dao Monarch, they could at least conceal themselves, or seek refuge with other major powers.
‘Could this be. . . the legendary—'honing blade'? ’
Upon hearing this, Fang Xi's expression couldn't help but turn a little strange.
However, he also knew that this was indeed a heaven-sent opportunity!
After all, the Laws of Reincarnation could attract the vast majority of Dao Venerables; such an opportunity might only occur this one time since the creation of heaven and earth!
If other Dao Children had firm Dao hearts and had cultivated Dao Seeds with hidden dangers, they would surely seize this chance!
‘A Dao Venerable's escape speed is unimaginable. . . but ultimately, there's a limit, unless they utilize Great Dao Resonance, then tear through the void with a secret art to directly descend. . . This is 'Dao Venerable's Obstruction', which only works if their Great Dao connection is extremely deep. . . ’
‘Although my Reincarnation Dao Seed can barely connect with all major laws, there is no Reincarnation Dao Venerable in this world, making it difficult for one to appear immediately and obstruct my path. . . The Time-Space Dao Venerable was a step too late, and that was the difference between life and death! ’
Fang Xi, having understood the past events, asked again: “Were there any successes? ”
“Successes were one in a hundred. . . ”
Wan Xiao Tong shook his head. “Severing the Dao and understanding oneself is truly difficult. . . Countless Dao Children are trapped at this step, unable to leap forth, and unable to rely on any external power. Daring to try, it's naturally a one-in-ten-thousand chance of survival. . . ”
“We gather here simply to exchange information. . . ”
As he spoke, his expression suddenly became a little mysterious. “Fellow Daoist, do you know. . . the Great Sun Dao Child? ! ”
“I met him once. Could it be that he succeeded in attaining the Dao? ” Fang Xi asked, thinking of the great sun he had seen that day.
“No, the Great Sun Dao Child failed to sever his Dao and transformed into a terrifying, legendary Dao-corrupted monster, a 'Sun Calamity'. . . Wherever it passed, ten thousand li turned to scorched earth, and countless Immortals died or were injured. . . It was finally barely suppressed by several Dao Monarchs working together. . . ”
