Chapter 378: Nascent Soul Condensation Pill (For the Silver Grand Alliance)
Not long after, an emerald green pillar of light rose from the small island, soaring straight into the clouds.
Faintly, a massive formation plate could be seen emerging, with several figures standing upon it, piercing into the void and vanishing from sight.
In the high heavens, two figures suddenly appeared, watching the Qingxu Sect disciples depart.
"Chi Old Ghost. . . your patriarch truly had divine foresight. Keeping these Green Emperor Mountain remnants, one day, they wouldn't be able to resist. . ."
A yellow-robed eccentric said with a smirk to the red-haired Nascent Soul old monster beside him.
"It was simply a lure of profit. . ."
Chi Old Ghost's expression remained unchanged: "Their 'Azure Spirit Plate' was tampered with long ago. Now, once activated, we immediately know of the commotion and will rush over, using the 'Traction Talisman'. . . we should be able to smoothly enter the mystic realm, perhaps even its core region!"
"Ancient Green Emperor Mountain treasure. . ."
He let out a soft cry, and a silvery white tiered boat in his hand instantly expanded, becoming colossal.
Meanwhile, in Chi Old Ghost's hand, a pale golden talisman glowed brightly, guiding the way through the void. . .
...
Emerald-like light flickered.
After entering the Spirit Response Gate, what appeared before Fang Xi was a world brimming with even more vitality!
Even a random blade of wild grass by the roadside seemed to have absorbed spiritual energy, becoming a spirit plant!
In the distance, there was a tender green vista, conveying a sense of vibrant life.
His 'Withered Glory Chant' operated even more smoothly in this environment, and his Wood Spirit Body felt comfortable throughout his entire being.
Crack!
Just then, a crisp cracking sound reverberated.
Fang Xi turned to look and saw an enormous crack appearing on the wooden wall that seemed to span heaven and earth. He was greatly startled: "This is. . ."
"This formation was originally set up to protect Long Evergreen Park, but as we entered, its restrictions are gradually disintegrating. . . Perhaps in the end, the entire Long Evergreen Park will return to the Great Void. . ."
Gu Laoguai's sigh reached his ears.
In Fang Xi's eyes, this massive wooden wall was undoubtedly a super grand formation covering most of Long Evergreen Park!
This formation not only isolated the land, but also the sky and the underground. . . even Soul Transformation cultivators would be kept out!
And the location of the Spirit Response Gate was clearly a crucial formation eye!
Once the three of them passed through this formation eye, this super colossal grand formation developed a flaw and was currently disintegrating. . .
Perhaps it would soon become difficult to maintain, allowing other cultivators to enter!
"This mystic realm. . . is disintegrating? " Fang Xi said quickly: "Besides that, it will probably attract other cultivators!"
"Therefore, we must be quick!"
Gu Laoguai tossed out a jade slip with a smile, which Fang Xi caught in his hand: "This is most of the mystic realm's map. . . the location where the 'Nine Heavens Pure Water' is stored is also marked. Let's split into two groups, each taking what we need, and finally rendezvous in the core 'Green Emperor Hall'. No problem, right? Within the Green Emperor Hall, there's a method to exit the mystic realm. . ."
Gu Laoguai seemed very confident, as he believed Fang Xi's path of retreat had already been cut off!
As long as the other party wanted to leave alive, he could only obediently cooperate.
"Seek our own opportunities, then? Very well!"
Fang Xi swept his Divine Consciousness over the jade slip, taking in the route map. He saw the core Green Emperor Hall, and in addition, many other architectural markers. He nodded.
After exchanging pleasantries, he formed a hand seal, immediately controlling his Green Reaping Sword, which transformed into an azure sword light and vanished in a flash. . .
Zhan Tu watched the escaping light disappear, a trace of vigilance appearing on his face, and he conjured a third-order artifact.
This artifact was an azure jade pendant, which materialized an emerald green light screen, firmly protecting him within.
"With this 'Azure Sky Pendant', that person indeed can no longer peer at us with Divine Consciousness."
Gu Laoguai's low voice rumbled: "Let's begin!"
"Yes!"
Zhan Tu immediately took out a pitch-black jade bottle; it was precisely the 'Gathering Yin Bottle'.
After pulling out the stopper, a cloud of black qi emerged, releasing the late-stage Core Formation ghost cultivator once more.
Gu Laoguai continuously chanted low and hoarse incantations, as two wisps of dim yellow light shot out from Zhan Tu's eyes, landing in the ghost cultivator's gaze.
Zhan Tu, furthermore, ceaselessly formed hand seals, and streaks of mana transformed into restrictions, striking into the ghost cultivator's body.
A moment later, the ghost cultivator opened its eyes, revealing a hint of a smile: "It's done!"
"Congratulations, Senior Gu Laoguai, on regaining a body!"
Zhan Tu bowed, with a hint of surprise.
"It's merely equivalent to an External Avatar. This old man's natal spiritual sense is still within your body, almost completely merged with your soul—this is also the effect of the 'Same Fate Art'. . . it's even a bit inferior to the demonic External Avatar secret techniques. If this old man's natal spiritual sense is extinguished, this avatar will likewise perish; it cannot be used to preserve life. . ."
Gu Laoguai shook his head, listing several shortcomings of this secret technique.
Of course, after obtaining this late-stage Core Formation ghost cultivator's body, given his insight, experience, and combat prowess, he could probably fight three or four of the previous ghost cultivators.
One could say his strength had greatly advanced!
"Senior Gu Laoguai is truly far-sighted and resourceful; you actually left such a contingency plan back then."
Zhan Tu naturally knew that refining such an avatar was quite difficult.
The reason Gu Laoguai could succeed in an instant was because this ghost cultivator was originally specially arranged by him.
"Enough talk. . . now that the Long Evergreen Park mystic realm is in turmoil, it will surely attract the attention of cultivators in this realm. It's time to act."
Gu Laoguai stroked his beard: "This old man will first trick that brat into retrieving treasures for you. Although there are some treasures along that path, the truly precious items are along this path. . . At the very least, the 'Medicine King Hall' cannot be missed. If this old man remembers correctly, there should still be a 'Nascent Soul Condensation Pill' stored within that hall. . . With your aptitude, if you obtain this pill, you will also have confidence in condensing a Nascent Soul."
"But. . . this mystic realm has been sealed away for at least ten thousand years. . . " Zhan Tu hesitated slightly.
"Hee hee. . . the ancient cultivators' methods for storing spirit pills and wondrous medicines are even beyond your imagination. The Ten Thousand Year Empty Azure Bottle is merely a relatively common method. . ."
Gu Laoguai chuckled: "After getting the pill and a few treasures, we'll go to the Green Emperor Hall. That's where the truly valuable treasures are!"
"Valuable treasures?"
Zhan Tu's eyes burned with a hint of fervor. This old man's tone was quite grand; not even spiritual treasures might be worthy of such a designation, right?
"Of course. . . do you think ancient Soul Transformation cultivators fought desperately with my Green Emperor Mountain solely for lifespan? Being targeted was just one aspect; the mutual destruction of Green Emperor Mountain's Soul Transformation Venerables and the powerful enemies from the ancient Monster World were merely catalysts. . . What truly attracted those Soul Transformation cultivators, even making them disregard life and death, was naturally the immortal's legacy treasures! " Gu Laoguai said as a matter of course.
"Ancient Monster World, immortal's legacy treasures?"
Zhan Tu asked: "The Monster World. . . does it really exist?"
"Naturally, it exists. Furthermore, the Monster World, like our Human World, is one of the few great realms below the Earthly Immortal World. . . It once invaded our Human World, spreading Heavenly Demon Qi. Otherwise, how do you think the current Yao race came to be?"
Gu Laoguai said: "As for why the Yao race invaded the Human World, this old man isn't entirely clear, only that it might be related to the machinations of powerful beings in the Earthly Immortal World. . . Perhaps it was to seize the immortal treasures of Green Emperor Mountain! Treasures that even ancient Yao Saints didn't hesitate to descend realms to plunder, do you want them or not?"
Zhan Tu's breathing immediately grew heavy, then he shook his head again: "Even with a head start, I'm no match for the Island Master. . ."
"Hee hee, once we reach the Green Emperor Hall, everything won't be up to him. Besides, don't you still have your last trump card?"
Gu Laoguai said: "With your advantage of being a hundred years younger than that person, as long as you dare to go all out, that person will surely die! By then, the treasures he obtains along his path will merely be making a wedding dress for you. . ."
...
Azure rainbow flickered.
Fang Xi let out a light chuckle, and the jade slip in his hand completely turned into dust.
"Gu Laoguai. . ."
He certainly wouldn't fully trust Gu Laoguai, but he was indeed quite interested in the ancient Green Emperor Mountain legacy.
As he flew away, purple light shone brightly in his eyes, revealing the dense jungle below.
Several winged spirits resembling human children instantly scattered in fright, fleeing in all directions.
Some hid among ancient trees, while others, with a flash of spiritual light on their bodies, directly merged with certain flowers. . .
"They're all wood-attribute spirits. . ."
Fang Xi muttered to himself: "Even if they're not famous spirit medicines, they can still be used as medicine. . ."
This place was clearly very suitable for the growth of wood-attribute demon spirits.
Even thousand-year wood sprites wouldn't be very rare.
Fang Xi shot forth as an azure escaping light, finally arriving at a medicine garden shrouded in mist.
He flicked his finger, startling thunder, and his Green Reaping Sword continuously flickered, as streaks of Immortal-Slaying Sword Qi pierced the heavens and penetrated the earth, beginning to erode the restrictions over the medicine garden.
The reason he was uninterested in the small spirits along the way was because Fang Xi knew there were better things!
Given that other cultivators might intervene at any moment, it was natural to seize the most valuable items first!
Pop!
He found several formation flaws, formed hand seals with both hands, and released his Ten Thousand Souls Banner!
The Ten Thousand Souls Banner roared, and streaks of white bone true fire landed on the misty restrictions.
Only a hum was heard.
Streaks of mist were completely burned away in the white bone true fire, revealing a slightly dilapidated medicine garden behind it.
Fang Xi walked in with his hands behind his back, and with a casual glance from the corner of his eye, he saw a ginseng root, entirely emerald green, gnarled like a dragon.
"Dragon Transformation Ginseng. . . Looking at its state, it's probably several thousand years old, isn't it? And it's just casually growing by the roadside?"
He released his Divine Consciousness, his expression rapidly changing: "And 'Immortal Hairpin Grass'. . . it actually has fifty spiritual patterns! This grass grows one spiritual pattern every hundred years, so this must be five thousand years old, right?"
"That 'Jade Essence Fruit Tree', who knows how many fruits have fallen to the ground. What a waste. . . This fruit, even if Core Formation cultivators eat it raw, can increase their mana by a considerable amount. . ."
"That wisp of spiritual light in the deepest part, it's actually still protected by restrictions, and this spiritual energy. . . Could it possibly be. . . the location of a ten-thousand-year spirit medicine?"
