Chapter 1094: The Mission
“Oh? ”
Within the three thousand li of purple qi, inside the Eight Treasures Fragrant Carriage.
Suddenly, a soft exclamation echoed forth.
“Master? ”
The Horned Dragon Monarch immediately halted, asking, “Is this humble dragon’s carriage too bumpy? Is Master feeling unwell? ”
“No, continue on your way. ”
A moment later, Fang Xi’s voice emerged from within the Eight Treasures Fragrant Carriage, and the three thousand li of majestic purple qi continued its advance.
As a Dao Monarch’s imperial carriage, this vehicle was naturally of the utmost luxury. Within its interior, a Dragon Palace had been refined, concealing numerous pearl maidens and shell maidens for one’s pleasure and amusement.
Fang Xi had already browsed them one by one. At this moment, he waved his hand, dismissing the clam maidens, and sat cross-legged on his cloud bed: “Little Immortal has finally become an Immortal. . . ”
Thinking of Fang Xian Dao Master’s past life, he couldn’t help but fall silent.
“However, to advance using the Withered Glory Chant in the True Immortal World, and in the North Star Immortal Domain no less, truly takes great courage! ”
“In the end, he still hasn’t learned my prudence. ”
Fang Xi let out a sigh.
He naturally perceived all this through the void coordinates of the All-Heavens Precious Mirror.
Compared to the Space-Time Dao Venerable, the All-Heavens Precious Mirror could tear open any void, not just in the True Immortal World, and its power was undoubtedly superior.
Therefore, he could go support Fang Xian at any time, without worrying in the slightest about his disciple encountering danger.
‘Still, this disciple needs more tempering to truly understand the value of the Path of Prudence. . . ’
‘The Yin Yang Dao Venerable of the Tongtian Palace wouldn’t stoop to attacking a small ant. Most likely, it’s that Purple Majesty Dao Child who’s behind it initially. Fang Xian should be able to hold out for a while. . . ’
The Fang Xian Dao Master ought to be very experienced in how to evade pursuit and make a desperate escape.
Fang Xi pondered for a moment, giving it a brief thought, then ceased to pay further attention.
Instead, he turned his gaze westward, a hint of contemplation in his eyes: “The World-At-Peace Wisdom King Buddha? The old grudge from the ‘Myriad Manifestations True Demon Arts’ should now be settled. . . ”
At the Horned Dragon Monarch’s pace, it wouldn’t take long at all to enter the North Star Immortal Domain.
Within the Boundless Sea Divine Sand Passage.
Whether it was the traversing Immortals or the lurking dangers, upon seeing that majestic streak of purple qi approach, they all lowered their heads, daring not to entertain the slightest thought.
“It’s actually a Dao Monarch? ”
One after another, extremely powerful Immortals or Sand Beasts gazed at the majestic purple qi, all doing their best to conceal their auras, not daring to reveal the slightest bit, fearing to attract the attention of that terrifying Dao Monarch.
Only a handful of Immortals who had previously seen the Horned Dragon Monarch, recalling the purple-jade Horned Dragon pulling the carriage, first showed disbelief in their eyes, then their faces turned pale: “Another one. . . has gone to the North Star Immortal Domain? ”
...
Ten Thousand Corals Island.
The Mountain Pearl avatar was still at the Immortal cultivation level, yet it was content and at ease.
At this moment, with a flicker of thought, he activated the Sun Moon Divine Breath Great Array’s imprint and entered the virtual Sun Moon Divine Mountain.
Last time, when the Thousand Sword Elder issued a bounty for a formal disciple position, the Sun Moon Divine Mountain was indeed lively for a while.
But so much time had passed, and no one had been able to claim the reward, so the fervor had long died down.
Now, within the Thousand Steles Mountain, it had returned to its sparsely populated and desolate appearance.
Fang Xi unhurriedly arrived before a white jade mountain peak.
This mountain peak was located beyond the three thousand sword steles. Fang Xi still frequently observed and comprehended those three thousand sword steles, having gained quite a lot from them.
However, this white jade mountain peak was different from the rest.
One side of its mountain wall had, at some unknown time, been cleaved in half, revealing a cliff face as smooth as a mirror.
Upon the cliff face, golden seal characters emerged one by one, converging into lines of text.
At the very top, naturally, was the mission to find the ‘Reincarnation Dao Monarch’.
Below, there were actually columns of information:
[Myriad Flowers Immortal Domain’s ‘Three Flowers Sect’ seeks to hire a high-level Spirit Plant Immortal. Remuneration to be discussed. . . ]
[Bounty for the eyeballs of the ‘Thousand-Faced Ghost Head’, willing to offer ten bottles of ‘Dao Cultivation Pills’ as price. . . ]
[Assassinate ‘City Lord Yu Ping’ of the Nine Lives Immortal Domain. Successful candidates will receive a copy of the «Star River Sword Art». . . ]
...
Line after line, they were all various bounties and missions.
This was a mission wall set up by the formation spirit, which, after the Thousand Sword Elder issued his mission, readily adapted and arranged it.
As a result, the multitude of Immortals discovered the convenience of this place, which allowed for real-time information exchange covering almost the entire True Immortal World, so they directly utilized it to conduct extensive business.
The formation spirit tacitly allowed it, and took a commission from it. . .
By now, it had already taken on the nascent form of a thriving commercial hub.
Fang Xi came here, casually browsed for a bit, then prepared to continue comprehending the sword steles.
Although his current ‘Sword-Births-Universe’ might even surpass the Thousand Sword Elder’s ‘Sword-Births-Heaven-and-Earth’, and while the Thousand Sword Elder lacked the Law of Reincarnation, preventing his ‘Sword-Births-Heaven-and-Earth’ from reaching grand completion, he still possessed many profound insights into the comprehension of other laws.
At this moment, Fang Xi absorbed them all, strengthening his own foundation.
“Oh? ”
Suddenly, with a sweep of his Divine Consciousness, he spotted a line of golden seal characters.
[Rescue Mission — Luo Mi Xianzi is trapped by the ‘Four Profound Arhat Great Array’ in the North Star Immortal Domain. If she can be successfully rescued, the Luo Family is willing to offer. . . ]
“Luo Mi Xianzi. . . is actually trapped? ”
Fang Xi was somewhat surprised. He injected his spiritual sense into that line of golden seal characters, and more information immediately appeared.
‘The Four Profound Arhat Great Array, set up by four ‘Great Arhats’, is a ninth-tier supreme Immortal Array of the Buddhist Sect, capable of trapping Dao Children. . . Has Luo Mi provoked someone from the Buddhist Sect? ’
‘If she is trapped in this array for a long time, her life might be safe, but she could be converted, turning into a Female Bodhisattva. . . ’
“Why would she go to the North Star Immortal Domain and provoke the Buddhist Sect? ”
He was slightly surprised, but after a careful thought, he understood.
It was still the Thousand Sword Elder’s fault!
Since that old man offered such a generous reward, naturally, there were plenty of Immortals eager to claim it.
And to track down the Reincarnation Dao Monarch, one naturally had to start from the North Star Immortal Domain!
Encountering a Buddhist Sect True Enlightenment Immortal, and then a conflict breaking out, seemed like a matter of course.
‘Although the Luo Family is a Dao Monarch family, in the current North Star Immortal Domain, they are truly not powerful enough. . . The Buddhist Sect has a profound foundation, and the nearby ‘World-At-Peace Wisdom King Buddha’ is a Dao Monarch! Moreover, within the Buddhist Sect, there are several extremely ancient ‘Ancient Buddhas’, rumored to be Dao Venerables! Even if Luo Mi were converted, the Luo Family would likely only be able to watch helplessly! ’
‘Furthermore, even if they wanted to spare no effort to rescue this junior with the potential to become a Dao Monarch, given the vastness of the True Immortal World, it would be too late to help. . . ’
Fang Xi’s wisdom was vast, and he had a deep understanding of many secrets, so he quickly figured out the cause and effect.
At this moment, he stroked his chin, sighing inwardly: “I hadn’t expected my main body to return to the Earthly Immortal World, and my Universe Great Emperor avatar to rush to the North Star Immortal Domain. . . while my last avatar is still in reincarnation, comprehending the Great Dao of All-Heavens Reincarnation. Now even I have to make a move. . . ”
Of course, the Universe Great Emperor avatar could use the All-Heavens Precious Mirror to reach the North Star Immortal Domain in an instant, but since the matter wasn’t urgent, there was no need to expose this secret to the Horned Dragon Monarch.
In any case, riding him there wouldn’t take more than a few days.
“Luo Mi. . . ”
Recalling the woman in white, purer than snow, with a somewhat naive gaze, Fang Xi gave a self-deprecating smile: “Well. . . it’s time to repay this karma. ”
He pointed a finger, and suddenly, an imprint appeared beneath the line of golden seal character mission.
“Let me tell you, ever since Luo Mi Xianzi emerged from her cultivation in the Forgetful Hidden Danger, she truly became estranged from all relations, causing many fellow Daoists to lose face and developing an extremely poor reputation. This time, no one will surely go to rescue her. . . Hmm? ”
Wan Xiao Tong had just been bragging to one or two fellow Immortals when he saw the Luo Family’s mission on the quest board change: it had actually been accepted by someone!
“Alas. . . how unwise is this fellow Daoist? ”
He rolled his eyes and shook his head again: “Luo Mi is an existence at the He Dao Four-Steps, Dao Severing Dao Child level. The danger that can trap her. . . even ordinary Dao Children can’t handle it. Only if a Dao Monarch makes a move is there a ninety-nine percent chance of success. . . ”
...
As for these later criticisms, Fang Xi simply couldn’t be bothered to pay them any mind.
He merely recalled that when he first came to this Sun Moon Divine Breath Great Array, Luo Mi had once given him a few pointers.
Although she was a bit foolish at the time, she had, after all, truly helped him.
Now that he possessed the strength, it was only natural to return the favor.
‘A mere Arhat Great Array? I alone can break it. . . ’
‘If it exceeds my strength, then so be it. . . After all, I am merely an avatar, with limited power. ’
The Mountain Pearl avatar let out a chuckle, then vanished from Ten Thousand Corals Island in a flash of silver light.
...
North Star Immortal Domain.
This place could be considered Fang Xi’s main base, with countless void coordinates already marked.
Upon receiving the more detailed mission information, specifically Luo Mi’s trapped location, Fang Xi naturally chose to teleport to the closest coordinate point.
Buzz!
Amidst the flickering silver light, a youth clad in a yellow robe materialized within the North Star Immortal Domain.
He identified the direction, and instantly, with a flash of sword light, his entire being transformed into a colossal earthen-yellow greatsword, streaking across the sky towards a certain location.
...
Within an unknown mountain range.
Streaks of golden Sanskrit characters soared skyward, resembling a curtain of light.
At the core of the golden light curtain, a female Sword Immortal in a white dress sat cross-legged.
Her features were picturesque, and her aura drifted like a startled swan—it was precisely Luo Mi!
Luo Mi sat cross-legged, a long sword in a snowy-white scabbard laid across her knees, her face as cold as ten thousand years of unmelting ice: “Buddhist Sect. . . ”
“Amitabha. . . ”
At the four corners of the great golden Sanskrit array, a Great Arhat of the Buddhist Sect, who had cultivated a Golden Arhat Body, sat cross-legged.
The leader among them, Bai Mei Luo Han, had an aged face, his two white eyebrows drooping low, his entire countenance radiating an aura of compassion: “Female Benefactress, you have innocently slain three hundred and seventeen of my Buddhist Disciples, incurring a karmic debt of killing. I ask that you enter my Buddhist Sect and become a Female Bodhisattva. . . to complete this karma and also to avoid further murderous deeds that would harm the harmony of heaven and earth. . . ”
Sword Immortals were inherently people who acted on grudges and desires, drawing their swords at a moment’s disagreement.
Sword Immortals who cultivated the Dao of Forgetful and Severed Emotions Sword were even more extreme.
As Luo Mi traversed the True Immortal World, she had naturally killed many people.
This conflict with the Buddhist Sect was both accidental and inevitable.
Bai Mei Luo Han’s face was filled with compassion, but his heart was joyful: ‘This woman has a profound foundation. If she converts to our Buddha, the World-At-Peace Wisdom World Honored One will surely be greatly pleased. . . ’
With a Dao Monarch as their backing, they naturally wouldn’t bother with a mere Dao Monarch family far off in the distance. . .
