Chapter 303: Teleportation (Makeup Chapter 6)

Inside the secret chamber.

Fang Xi, leading Big Green, emerged from the Mountain Sea Pearl, his face filled with unconcealed delight.

"This time, I've truly struck it rich. . . I'm rich!"

"What a windfall!"

"Just getting my hands on this Saint Son's fortune was an eye-opener, not to mention the gains from the mystic realm."

As he thought this, he suddenly recalled that the Saint Son's 'inheritance' hadn't been fully inventoried yet, and couldn't help but smile wryly again.

Fang Xi took a deep breath, touched his storage ring, and three jade boxes sealed with talismans appeared before him.

He opened the first jade box, revealing a dark, sharp-clawed magical artifact, faintly exuding malevolent energy, its tips incredibly keen, flickering with a subtle bloody glint, and covered in ancient patterns.

Fang Xi had already witnessed the might of this magical artifact; a single strike had destroyed the Three Yang True Fire Cover and the puppet You Kun, though fortunately, he had recovered the Nine Dragons Pearl in the end.

He put the 'Poison Dragon Claw' away, intending to refine and use it later, then opened another box and took out a small bone banner.

"The Ten Thousand Souls Banner. . . This banner is a third-order superior-grade magical artifact. . . Within it are tens of thousands of ghosts, and several Core Formation-level Ghost Kings. . ."

Fang Xi had only obtained fragmented memories when he soul-searched the Saint Son.

Regarding the Saint Son's Ten Thousand Souls Banner, it originally contained hundreds of thousands of yin souls and over a dozen Core Formation-level Ghost Kings, but Fang Xi had no knowledge of the situation where most of them had been dispatched and had not yet returned.

Even so, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, whether in quality or power, far surpassed the Poison Dragon Claw. If the Saint Son had successfully formed a Nascent Soul in the future, this banner would certainly have advanced to become a fourth-order spirit treasure!

He took a deep breath and opened the last box.

Inside the box was, astonishingly, a palm-sized chessboard, with nineteen horizontal and vertical lines forming intricate squares, and black and white chess pieces randomly generated, looking exceptionally profound.

"A treasure that can bind the void. . ."

"This magical artifact. . . appears to be even superior to the Ten Thousand Souls Banner."

Fang Xi murmured, stroking the Star-Patterned Chessboard with his palm, attempting to inject a wisp of Withered Glory Chant magical power.

But then something happened that changed his expression!

The 'Star-Patterned Chessboard' suddenly hummed, faintly emitting a trace of resistance, making it impossible for him to refine it.

This matter was truly somewhat unbelievable.

One should know that even the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, a life-bound magical artifact, could be refined by Fang Xi after losing the Saint Son as its owner, though it would take longer and permanently lose some of its power.

"This magical artifact. . . seems to have developed a trace of spirituality within. . . Could it be a fourth-order spirit treasure? !"

"This Saint Son was not only rich but also quite adept in his methods. . . A fourth-order spirit treasure, usually only a Nascent Soul old monster can refine it, right?"

"This Star-Patterned Chessboard. . . I simply cannot refine it now. I'll have to wait until after I reach the Nascent Soul realm to reconsider."

Fang Xi sighed, carefully placing the spirit treasure back into its jade box, adding a few more talismans to seal it.

After completing all of this, he took a satisfied breath.

"The Saint Son's assets. . . only now are they fully inventoried. Truly, truly. . . such a massive haul."

Fang Xi had already lost count of how many times he had exclaimed like this.

After composing himself somewhat, he continued to sort through the gains from this mystic realm.

Among them, the most valuable was naturally that 'Nine-Eyed Bodhi Seed'!

This item was a top-tier treasure for comprehending the Dao, coveted even by the Saint Son himself.

Besides that, there were Blood Dragon Fruits, Core Formation Spiritual Items, and other top-tier immortal cultivation resources.

Next were the spirit stones and treasures contributed by the demonic cultivators. . . Among them were several demonic magical artifacts!

As for soul banners and the like, he didn't pay them much mind, but what caught his attention was a pure white External Core, exuding a chilling aura.

Fang Xi placed it next to the Nine Dragons Pearl, feeling they were quite similar.

"This External Core. . . came from that female cultivator in white. . . Unfortunately, it has elemental restrictions and is only suitable for cultivators practicing ice-attribute cultivation methods."

"Furthermore. . . it seems to contain a third-order 'Ice Soul Chilling Light' divine ability within it. . ."

"With so many treasures and resources falling into my hands, and even a Core Formation Saint Son who had hopes of forming a Nascent Soul. . . The Primordial Demon Sect and I are definitely irreconcilable enemies now."

Fang Xi could already imagine the furious expressions of the Nascent Soul Elders of that sect, but fortunately, a world separated them, so he wasn't afraid at all.

Even Soul Transformation cultivators couldn't cross worlds to capture someone.

Moreover, from the Saint Son's fragmented memories, Fang Xi knew that once the 'Resentful Soul Lure' was over a million li away, the mysterious connection in the unseen would break, let alone across worlds.

As long as he was careful not to be directly encountered by cultivators from the Primordial Demon Sect in the future, there wouldn't be much of a problem.

Having obtained so many resources, even selling only a portion would likely be enough for his own cultivation.

He could even. . . aspire to acquire spiritual items that would greatly aid in forming a Nascent Soul.

With the 'Wood Spirit Body' enhancing his aptitude, Fang Xi was very confident in his Core Formation stage cultivation and breaking through bottlenecks.

However, forming a Nascent Soul was a very important threshold and hurdle, even in ancient times.

Countless Core Formation cultivators, despite their exceptional talent, had fallen before this step, so Fang Xi couldn't afford not to take it seriously.

After all, although he relied on his spiritual physique to forcefully increase his cultivation speed, his original spiritual root attribute was still a low-grade wood spirit root.

...

Several months later.

Inside the Mountain Sea Pearl's cave abode.

He would sometimes frown in contemplation, sometimes have a sudden realization, clearly completely engrossed.

After a long while, Fang Xi finally put down a scroll of array formation texts and sighed faintly: "The Dao of array formations. . . it truly is difficult. But I never expected that cultivators from that world would even dabble in teleportation arrays. . . Though it's understandable, given they can even refine void treasures like the Mountain Sea Pearl. . ."

Teleportation arrays!

Fang Xi had only heard of ancient cultivators constructing such grand and advanced array formations; he had never personally witnessed one.

However, it seemed quite common in the Bright Ring Realm.

When Fang Xi sorted out several essential texts on 'teleportation arrays' from the demonic sect Saint Son's study, he was absolutely overjoyed.

"Teleportation array formations. . . they involve the power of void, and are at least third-order formations. . . perfectly suited for my current study."

"It's just a pity. . . it's too difficult."

Fang Xi closed the scroll with a sigh, then picked up a jade slip next to it.

Inside this jade slip was, astonishingly, a third-order artifact refinement inheritance!

This made Fang Xi sigh in emotion; this demonic sect Saint Son was truly his treasure-delivering boy!

"After adventures, one should diligently cultivate to digest the gains. . ."

"Once I've fully digested these foundations and refined a few powerful magical artifacts. . . even without using trump cards like the Withered Glory Mystic Light, I should be able to contend with ordinary late-stage Core Formation cultivators, right? Even late-stage Core Formation cultivators from Nascent Soul sects wouldn't be a threat. . ."

"In that case. . . I could try heading to the more bustling areas of the South Barrens Cultivation World to search for cultivation resources, or even spiritual items for forming a Nascent Soul?"

...

After tidying up his study, Fang Xi went to the artifact refinement room.

This refinement room was large, and currently, three corpses were lying side by side: two humans and one demon beast.

Fang Xi first looked at the third-order mid-grade 'Demonic Blood Flood Dragon'.

At this moment, the flood dragon actually lifted its head, and demonic tree roots emerged from its seven orifices, having clearly been refined into a wood puppet.

"After extracting the flood dragon's essence blood and demon core. . . what I got was only a quasi-third-order puppet, only strong due to its robust demonic beast body. It would be quite inferior against a False Core cultivator, so I'll leave it as is for now. . . Although a third-order flood dragon's entire body is a treasure, I don't know how to refine artifacts!"

Fang Xi thought of the several bottles of flood dragon essence blood in his storage ring, a smile appearing on his face.

He had given a small portion of this essence blood to the Green Corner Fish Dragon outside the cave abode; the rest could be used to mix third-order spirit ink for practicing the Dao of talismans.

As for the third-order flood dragon's inner core?

Fang Xi hadn't decided yet whether to use it to help the Green Corner Fish Dragon advance, or to aid a Foundation Establishment Perfected cultivator in achieving a False Core, thereby gaining another False Core subordinate.

However, this item was precious, so it was best to properly store it for now.

Immediately after, he looked at the corpses of the Saint Son and the Ox Demon Body Cultivator.

Originally, this Ox Demon cultivator had an exceedingly powerful physique, having cultivated body refinement techniques to the seventh stage, making him capable of rivaling Core Formation cultivators. Even the innate physical divine abilities he awakened were extraordinarily strong, greatly pleasing Fang Xi.

Alas. . . compared to the Saint Son's body lying beside him, he was dwarfed.

The Saint Son, too, cultivated some unknown demonic body refinement art, but the strength of his physical body was absolutely incredible, capable of taking a magical artifact's direct bombardment with his bare hands, and even cultivating a divine ability Dharma Idol.

"Refine. . . I'll refine both!"

A grayish-white jade slip appeared in Fang Xi's hand, and he gritted his teeth fiercely.

This jade slip recorded a portion of the 'Six Desires Heaven Mixing Demon' refining method. Combined with the soul-splitting secret art of the Corpse Control Art, there was hope of piecing together a method for an 'External Avatar'.

Fang Xi was still very envious of the example of that female cultivator in white, who had gained virtually an extra life by using an 'External Avatar'.

"As for this Ox Demon cultivator. . . I'll proceed with the original plan to refine him into a 'Black Fire Demonic Corpse', but I won't need to implant a split soul. Instead, I'll control him as an ordinary refined corpse with spiritual sense restrictions, simply to boost my combat strength. . ."

"The mission to explore the third world will naturally fall to this stronger External Avatar!"

Having made this decision, Fang Xi no longer hesitated, taking out jade boxes one by one from his storage ring.

Once opened, they contained various demonic materials.

These were his preparations for refining the 'Black Fire Demonic Corpse'.

"Now is the perfect time to practice first, then attempt to refine the 'External Avatar'!"

Fang Xi approached the horned cultivator's corpse, waved his hand, and a streak of Azure Wood True Flame descended, turning the sealed ice into water vapor that evaporated away.

He swept his sleeve, and the water vapor vanished without a trace.

Flipping his palm, a crimson External Core appeared: it was the Nine Dragons Pearl!

"Let's begin. . ."

Fang Xi murmured, performing a hand seal. Several streaks of Azure Wood Divine Light transformed into steel needles, piercing into the horned cultivator's body before him!

...

A month later.

Outside the Mountain Sea Pearl's cave abode, a Green Corner Fish Dragon, its scales now a dark green, its body more slender and resembling a flood dragon, with four small protrusions on its belly, was freely swimming about.

Compared to a spirit beast pouch, this type of void cave abode was naturally much more comfortable.

Having settled into the beast pen, it had little desire to leave.

At this moment, the cave abode's great gate suddenly opened, and Fang Xi walked out.

"Reached second-order superior-grade?"

He swept his spiritual sense over Big Green, and couldn't help but nod: "Good. . . From now on, you'll live here and guard the cave abode."
