Chapter 1061: Secrets (Extra Chapter for Subscriptions)
“You killed my beloved son, Fellow Daoist, do you dare leave your name? ”
That wisp of Dragon Monarch's divine consciousness, facing Fang Xi, had absolutely no power to retaliate.
In the surrounding void, shimmering rainbow-colored soap bubbles abruptly emerged, one after another.
Within the bubbles, that wisp of Dragon Monarch's divine consciousness appeared, transforming into a purple jade Horned Dragon, and abruptly roared.
“The cultivation world is perilous. I never reveal my name. ”
Fang Xi let out a cold laugh, brought his five fingers together, and gently squeezed.
Pop!
The soap bubbles burst one by one. Under the Law of Illusion and Annihilation, that wisp of Dragon Monarch's divine consciousness was also utterly extinguished, leaving no trace. . .
Fang Xi's divine consciousness swept back and forth a few more times, confirming there were no lingering troubles, and only then did his figure flash, abruptly vanishing. . .
...
Chirp!
Over a stretch of sea.
Countless glowing jellyfish, emitting multicolored radiance, gathered like clouds and slowly ascended into the sky.
And amidst the countless multicolored clouds, a phoenix's cry abruptly echoed.
A five-colored phoenix, filled with an aura of nobility and grandeur, flew out from the clouds, yet seemed to carry a hint of struggle.
Subsequently, from within the cloud layer, streaks of sword light abruptly sliced out.
These sword lights were originally incomparably sharp, but now they had been refined into incredibly tough, pure white ropes, encircling the slender neck of the five-colored phoenix.
Fang Xi, holding the white sword light in both hands like reins, landed on the phoenix's back.
Chirp chirp!
Fenghuang struggled desperately, and multicolored phoenix feathers continually drifted down in the void, one by one.
An unknown amount of time passed before she finally stopped, allowing him to ride her as she roamed the four directions of the void, following Fang Xi's command.
“Not bad, not bad. . . ”
“Riding a phoenix through the void indeed has a unique charm. ”
Fang Xi still maintained his image as a sword-bearing large man, and riding Fenghuang, he felt a surge of amusement, experiencing the exhilaration of taming a wild horse.
“Well? Have you submitted? ”
Once again, he urged the phoenix into a sprint, and after passing through clusters of multicolored jellyfish clouds, Fang Xi tightened the reins made of sword light and asked with a long laugh.
The five-colored phoenix immediately lowered its head, rubbing against his robes, and a mellow female voice emerged from its beak: “This concubine has submitted. . . ”
Although Fenghuang initially swore to resist to the death, in Fang Xi's hands, she found herself unable to live or die by her own will. . .
Ultimately, she naturally had no choice but to submit.
“Good! ”
Fang Xi immediately dismounted—no, dismounted the phoenix, watching the five-colored phoenix shimmer with a silver light and transform back into Fenghuang's appearance, with her temples disheveled.
“Fenghuang greets Master. ”
Fenghuang knelt halfway down, a crystal clear tear flowing from the corner of her eye.
“Hmph, to be able to serve as my mount is a fortune accumulated from your cultivation over countless lifetimes. . . ”
Fang Xi snorted coldly: “But seeing how unwilling you are, I’ve ridden you once, and that’s enough. . . Tell me your origins. Perhaps if I’m in a good mood, I might let you go. . . ”
“Really? ”
Fenghuang's eyes lit up. She had originally resigned herself to her fate.
After all, this new master could repel the Horned Dragon’s Third Prince; clearly, his strength and influence were extraordinary.
Perhaps he was another of the North Star Immortal Palace's caliber.
But now the other party was willing to let her go.
For demons, especially wild demons who had been bound for many years, what they yearned for most was undoubtedly freedom!
“You can believe it, or not. . . ”
Fang Xi chuckled.
This phoenix had been taken into his Cave Heaven Treasure and had not seen his final move.
Otherwise, she would have known that to be taken as a mount by a Dao Monarch in the True Immortal World was a fortune that countless immortal birds and rare beasts would fight to obtain, a blessing that couldn't even be begged for!
Fenghuang gave a bitter smile and then said: “This concubine is an ascended cultivator from the North Star Immortal Domain. Before, I was constantly trapped by the North Star Immortal Palace and later joined the Ascension Alliance. . . ”
“The Ascension Alliance, eh? ”
Fang Xi rubbed his chin: “I heard that your Ascension Alliance's leader is also an ascended cultivator, but defected from the North Star Immortal Palace and ultimately attained the Dao Monarch realm. I, for one, greatly admire him. . . How is it that you, as someone from the Ascension Alliance, have fallen to such a state? ”
“This is naturally because we encountered a great change. . . Master should know that in the spiritual mountains of the North Star Immortal Domain previously, someone actually attained the never-before-seen Reincarnation Dao Monarch realm in the True Immortal World, right? ”
Fenghuang said: “Although there are rumors circulating that the Reincarnation Dao Monarch was a heaven's chosen secretly cultivated by the Buddhist Sect, with the intention of encroaching upon the Great Dao of Reincarnation. . . That Worldly Freedom Wisdom King Buddha suffered quite a bit because of this, but more Dao Venerables still focused their attention on the North Star Immortal Domain, and our Ascension Alliance became quite conspicuous. After all, it was a force established by ascended cultivators, while most Dao Venerables were promoted from local Immortals. . . ”
Fang Xi naturally knew that his own Reincarnation Dao Seed was a coveted prize.
Even the Thousand Sword Elder, if he knew, he probably wouldn't let it go.
After all, his 'Sword-Births-Heaven-and-Earth', after all these years, had almost been completely perfected, lacking only one final sliver of opportunity.
And that sliver of opportunity was the Reincarnation Dao Seed!
‘I have the protection of the All-Heavens Precious Mirror, possessing the talent of being beyond calculation. . . Even Dao Venerables would find it difficult to calculate my fate. ’
‘So, all that's left is a systematic search? ’
Fang Xi vaguely knew why Xu Qing Xian Ren was hunted down last time.
‘These Dao Venerables are truly insane. Are they planning to check every Immortal in the North Star Immortal Domain? Even if it's just to gather intelligence, without local informants, it would be extremely cumbersome and difficult. . . ’
‘And as a local power, the North Star Immortal Palace seems to be the first choice? ’
‘As for the Ascension Alliance? A mere force of ascended cultivators established by a single Dao Monarch is simply not worth mentioning. . . Any Dao Venerable with ill intent could easily destroy it. . . ’
Fang Xi roughly guessed why Fenghuang came here.
“The Ascension Alliance. . . it no longer exists! ”
Fenghuang continued: “After that Reincarnation Dao Monarch attained Dao, the Ascension Alliance suffered a blow, and even its leader nearly died. . . At a crucial moment, Dao Venerable ‘Thousand Sword Elder’ appeared and took the leader away. . . Once the leader left, we ascended cultivators could only seek our own survival. Relying on my familiarity with the Law of Void, I ran all the way to the Vast Sea Immortal Domain, but also suffered considerable injuries. I was about to find an immortal island to collect spirit medicines and cultivate in seclusion to heal, but unexpectedly, I encountered the Horned Dragon Clan’s Third Prince and was entangled by him. . . ”
“Dao Venerable—Thousand Sword Elder? He actually intervened to save Azure Cloud Dao Monarch? ”
Fang Xi was slightly surprised.
But he also knew that if no Dao Venerable-level power had stepped forward to guarantee them, the Ascension Alliance wouldn't have just disbanded, but would have been exterminated!
The reason the Ascension Alliance was still disbanded was naturally because the Thousand Sword Elder was only one Dao Venerable, unable to resist the will of numerous Dao Venerables!
“The name Thousand Sword Elder, I’ve also heard of it. To think he has such a deep connection with that Azure Cloud Dao Monarch? ”
Fang Xi immediately showed interest.
“This concubine does not know either. . . It’s just that, it seems the leader is a formal disciple of that Thousand Sword Elder. ”
Fenghuang gave a bitter smile: “That’s why he was still rescued from under the malicious intentions of those Dao Venerables. . . However, the Thousand Sword Elder only saved the leader, so we had no choice but to find our own way. . . ”
“The Thousand Sword Elder’s. . . formal disciple? ”
Fang Xi's mind raced, and he quickly deduced a possibility.
‘The Thousand Sword Elder likes to take nominal disciples. Given Azure Cloud Dao Monarch's talent and his accidental acquisition of a sword array fragment, then displaying his talent and injecting sword qi into it, which was sensed by the ‘Sun Moon Divine Breath Great Array’—it's highly possible. . . ’
‘Wan Xiao Tong also said before that the formal disciples the Thousand Sword Elder took before Tian Chong were all Dao Monarchs! ’
‘Furthermore, there was one among them whose Daoist title was ‘Qingping’—I have a feeling that was Azure Cloud Dao Monarch's disguise! ’
‘No wonder Azure Cloud Dao Monarch dared to seek revenge on the North Star Immortal Palace; so he had a powerful background after all. ’
Fang Xi felt that his situation in the Vast Sea Immortal Domain might not be too safe either?
Should he run even further?
‘Oh? So my true body is in the Earthly Immortal World, and this is just an External Avatar? Then it's fine. . . ’
Fang Xi muttered to himself.
He hadn't expected that his own attainment of the Dao Monarch realm would actually bring a turning point to the already tense North Star Immortal Domain!
Although. . . those Immortals certainly wouldn't want this kind of turning point.
“So that’s how it is. . . ”
He rubbed his chin and asked about the major events that had recently occurred in the North Star Immortal Domain, then immediately waved his hand.
Whoosh whoosh!
Streaks of sword light that had transformed into reins appeared on Fenghuang's body, and then abruptly vanished.
“Hm? ”
Fenghuang was overjoyed and stared at Fang Xi in disbelief.
“I only care about what I once possessed. You are free. . . ”
Fang Xi laughed heartily, his figure transforming into a streak of sword light and abruptly vanishing without a trace.
The terrifying aura of that instant made Fenghuang's expression change instantly: “This person is indeed a peerless Dao Child. . . Perhaps even destined to attain the Dao Monarch realm in the future. ”
But soon, her expression became resolute again: “Even so, I am unwilling to submit. . . I want to be a free demon! What’s more, there are many Dao Children trapped at the step of ‘severing the Dao’, finding it difficult to attain the Dao Monarch realm. My choice is absolutely correct. . . ”
Unfortunately, Fenghuang did not know what kind of great fortune she had missed.
Furthermore, her Void Dao Seed was truly a great tragedy, for once she attained Dao, she would inevitably fall. . .
...
Ten Thousand Corals Island.
The Mountain Sea Pearl avatar simultaneously learned much information: “So Azure Cloud Dao Monarch was actually a formal disciple of the Thousand Sword Elder. . . It seems this person is also astonishingly talented and completed a portion of ‘Sword-Births-Heaven-and-Earth’. . . ”
The Thousand Sword Elder has tens of thousands of nominal disciples, but those who can truly enter his inner circle must certainly be useful to him.
“I could go and take a look at the Sun Moon Divine Mountain. . . ”
The True Immortal World is too vast, and due to the characteristics of the eleventh-order great array of the Sun Moon Divine Mountain, it can accomplish many things, and has long had the tendency to become a large-scale online communication platform.
The Mountain Sea Pearl avatar had previously provoked Luo Mi, and felt a little awkward about it.
But as long as he avoided her, there would be no problem.
Fang Xi guessed that Dao Monarch Qingping was Azure Cloud Dao Monarch, but he wasn't entirely certain.
But as long as he saw her once in the Sun Moon Divine Mountain, he would definitely be able to confirm it.
After all, he had previously seen that Azure Cloud Dao Monarch make a move at the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering of the North Star Immortal Palace.
“That little phoenix truly isn’t worthy of being my mount. Discarding her after playing with her is the most appropriate action. . . ”
“At this moment. . . his third External Avatar should have also departed for a brand new Great Thousand World, right? ”
The Mountain Sea Pearl avatar looked leisurely, activating the mark on the back of his hand, and his primordial spirit instantly arrived at the Sun Moon Divine Mountain!
The update will be later tomorrow morning
