Chapter 425: Teleportation (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Chapter 425: Teleportation (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Black Heaven Mountain Range.
Inside the assembly hall, the cultivators all wore expressions of trepidation.
“Do we truly have to relocate? ”
A Foundation Establishment elder rose to his feet: “Even during the last beast tide, didn’t we manage to weather it with the Ancestor and the grand array? Why must we retreat to Myriad Islands Lake this time? ”
“This beast tide. . . it’s different from previous ones. ”
The Sect Master, now a Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Wu, coughed and said, “The Green Wood Sect and the Ethereal Valley Sect have already relocated. . . ”
As he spoke, his heart was also bleeding.
Though people could leave, spirit veins could not be moved. And many of the spiritual herbs in the spirit herb garden, once harvested, would completely lose their potential for continued growth.
Every single one of these matters represented an enormous resource expenditure.
“Hmph, the Green Wood Sect doesn’t have a Core Formation ancestor presiding over it. As for the Ethereal Valley Sect. . . they were originally from Myriad Islands Lake anyway. But if we go there, unfamiliar with the people and land, we might not even secure a second-order spirit vein. . . ”
Another Foundation Establishment elder spoke.
“With the Ancestor’s prestige, securing a second-order spirit island shouldn’t be an issue. I recall that our sect has disciples from the Yan lineage, who have quite a connection with the Yan family of Spirit Sky Island? They could certainly go and stay for a while. . . ”
A female Foundation Establishment cultivator spoke.
She seemed quite supportive of the relocation.
In truth, none of the cultivators present were fools. But with the sect’s greater good at stake, even if their hearts were willing a thousand times over, they still had to offer a bit of resistance at first.
Seeing this, Sect Master Wu could only smile bitterly in his heart.
If there was even a shred of hope, he would not have been willing to abandon the Black Heaven Mountain Range.
But this beast tide was truly terrifying.
It was said that not only were there dozens of third-order demon beasts, but behind the scenes, there might even be a transformed great demon!
Faced with such a situation, what else could they do but seek refuge with the Three Kingdoms Alliance Leader in Myriad Islands Lake?
Unlike the Black Heaven Sect, which still needed to gather elders for discussion, the Foundation Establishment-level families, sects, and even the smaller Qi Refinement forces and rogue cultivators. . . had long since abandoned everything and fled to the Myriad Islands Lake region for refuge.
If one were to look down from high in the sky, they would find that, accompanying the beast tide, the cultivators of the Three Kingdoms cultivation world had begun to shift towards Myriad Islands Lake.
......
By Myriad Islands Lake.
“Quick. . . board the ship! ”
A group of cultivators hurried along, eager to board a large ship.
Just then, an eagle’s cry suddenly resounded from not far away!
Swoosh!
A black escape light appeared, revealing an enormous black eagle within it.
The terrifying aura of a third-order demon beast spread out, making it difficult for even Qi Refinement cultivators to move.
Screech! !
The colossal black eagle, with feathers as cold and hard as iron, circled once, preparing to dive down and feast upon the spiritual energy-rich flesh and blood of the cultivators.
Chirp!
The next moment, a ball of green flame appeared.
The Green Fire Luan flew in from above the lake, trailing streaks of green flame. Its wings fanned out green fire, and its beak fiercely pecked.
A ball of Green Luan Fire directly shattered the black eagle’s demon wind, and then the Green Fire Luan’s slender beak pecked onto the black eagle’s iron feather defense.
Thud!
In mid-air, the colossal black eagle’s corpse plummeted, countless feathers scattering down.
“It’s the Alliance Leader’s spirit beast! ”
A young man, seeing this, couldn’t help but cry out in excitement: “The Alliance Leader sent a spirit beast to rescue us! ”
For a moment, all the cultivators on the ship cheered.
The new generation of cultivators had long since heard tales of the Dragon Fish Island Master’s majestic display of having dragons and phoenixes pull his carriage.
Only a few elderly-looking individuals secretly curled their lips.
......
Emerald Island.
“Young Master. . . we have already, as per your instructions, relocated the Ruan family of Maple Leaf Island and those close to us from Dragon Fish Island to Emerald Island. . . ”
Zhong Hong Yu, accompanied by Zheng Shan, was summarizing the events of this period for Fang Xi.
“In addition, cultivators from the Three Kingdoms cultivation world are continuously pouring into Myriad Islands Lake, and some low-grade spirit islands are already overwhelmed. . . ”
“You may open up Maple Leaf, Spirit Sky, Golden Turtle, and Dragon Fish Islands as appropriate. . . but my Emerald Island will not accept any more people. ”
Fang Xi waved his hand.
Just then, a loud phoenix cry came from outside.
A ball of green flame descended inside the hall, and from within it, Xiao Qing’s figure emerged.
Xiao Qing opened its mouth and spat out a pitch-black demon core.
The fresh blood and baleful aura clinging to it made Zhong Hong Yu’s expression subtly change: “A freshly extracted third-order demon core. . . have high-tier demon beasts already reached Myriad Islands Lake? ”
“It’s only a matter of time. . . ”
Fang Xi took the demon core, casually rubbed it, and looked thoughtfully at Zheng Shan: “I hear. . . the Green Wood Sect has already relocated to Myriad Islands Lake? ”
“Yes! ”
Zheng Shan hurriedly bowed: “Our Sect Master felt the fierceness of this beast tide and began preparing for the transfer early, so the losses were not significant. . . ”
After all, the Green Wood Sect had no Core Formation cultivators, so they were quite flexible and didn’t have as many burdens as the Black Heaven Sect.
“Now that the beast tide is imminent and the world is in chaos. . . yet the Green Wood Sect doesn’t even have a single False Core cultivator. ”
Fang Xi shook his head and casually tossed the demon core over.
“Alliance Leader, I. . . ”
Zheng Shan fumbled to receive it, feeling her hands tremble.
This single third-order demon core, Ancestor Lu Qing had yearned for it for so many years and never managed to obtain it.
Now, it had so easily landed in her hands?
“This third-order demon core, I bestow it upon you. . . ”
Fang Xi said casually.
Even if one refined a demon core to become a False Core cultivator, losing all potential for further advancement, they would still possess the magical power, divine abilities, and lifespan of an early Core Formation cultivator.
And with Zheng Shan’s aptitude and disposition. . . Fang Xi felt that she wouldn’t be able to form a true Golden Core anyway.
So, enjoying centuries of prestige as a False Core ancestor wouldn’t be bad either.
......
After dismissing Zhong Hong Yu and Zheng Shan.
Fang Xi rose and went to the rear hall of Evergreen Hall.
During this period, he had never given up on repairing the ancient teleportation array.
Now, the second ancient teleportation array was also nearing completion of repairs.
He approached the ancient teleportation array and took out a ‘Void Nether Crystal’. . .
A few months later. . .
Piece by piece, superior-grade spirit stones were inserted into the grooves, and Fang Xi formed hand seals with both hands.
Buzz!
The ancient teleportation array lit up with bright silver light and suddenly roared.
“It’s done! ”
Seeing this, a hint of joy appeared on Fang Xi’s face: “The array on the other side isn’t damaged either. . . this location can be used. ”
“Unfortunately, back then, I didn’t search the soul of that old ghost, so I don’t know where this teleportation array actually leads. ”
The truth was, his means were insufficient back then; even if he had captured the old ghost, it would have been difficult to search their soul.
Furthermore, that person hid too many secrets and possessed endless methods. It was better to eliminate him sooner rather than later, without giving him even a sliver of an opportunity.
Now, facing the unknown, Fang Xi naturally resorted to his usual methods.
A black light flashed, and his Second Primordial Spirit appeared, clad in black armor, holding a Blood Transformation Demon Blade, and with a Divine Infant Sword hidden within its body.
“Just a Nascent Soul might be a bit insufficient. ”
Gazing at his Second Primordial Spirit, Fang Xi muttered, then touched the Mountain Sea Pearl tattoo.
A refined corpse of a horned monster walked out—it was none other than the Black Fire Demonic Corpse!
Ever since Fang Xi had refined his Second Primordial Spirit, this refined corpse, comparable to a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, had rarely been taken out for use.
This time, it was also because the Second Primordial Spirit needed a vessel that Fang Xi thought of this refined corpse.
“Ox-headed warrior, take your position! ”
The Second Primordial Spirit came to the top of the Black Fire Demonic Corpse’s head, transformed into a ball of dark light, and sank into its Dantian qi sea.
This was not body snatching, but merely a temporary possession for control.
Now, Fang Xi’s main Nascent Soul was already stronger than the Second Primordial Spirit, so he wasn’t afraid of it leaving for a short period.
Even if the Second Primordial Spirit were lost or trapped somewhere, his main body could go to the Red Sun Realm and instantly descend by its side.
For Fang Xi, the great difficulty of a demonic external avatar potentially rebelling was practically non-existent.
This was naturally the marvelous use of the All-Heavens Precious Mirror.
A ball of pitch-black demonic light appeared in the Black Fire Demonic Corpse’s eyes, and then it strode forward, entering the ancient teleportation array.
“May your journey be smooth! ”
Fang Xi raised a hand, and a spell seal struck the ancient teleportation array.
Amidst the flickering silver light, the Black Fire Demonic Corpse’s figure suddenly vanished. . .
......
Buzz!
An ancient architectural complex, seemingly abandoned for many years, had most of its structures buried by yellow sand.
And in a certain underground secret chamber, an ancient teleportation array suddenly shone with dazzling silver light, from which a horned man walked out.
“This is. . . ”
The Second Primordial Spirit touched its own horns and released its Divine Consciousness.
Then, as if it had discovered something, the Black Fire Demonic Corpse approached a large door sealed by rock and raised its fist.
Bang bang!
After a few punches, countless shattered rocks flew, and the stone door cracked open, revealing a pitch-black passage. . .
Soon after, a streak of light flew into the sky.
Fang Xi’s eyes were profound as he gazed at the boundless yellow sands stretching for ten thousand li in the distance, and the ruined walls and broken tiles below, as well as the ruins of what seemed to have been an oasis. He couldn’t help but realize: “It’s actually the Western Desert cultivation world? That’s acceptable. . . as long as it’s not the Central Domain, then all is well. ”
His Divine Consciousness swept below, discovering that this place seemed to have once been a human settlement. However, with the disappearance of the oasis, it had long been abandoned for years, devoid of even a trace of spirit vein qi.
Now, more than half of the entire city was buried by yellow sand!
“In that case. . . it’s just right for concealing the ancient teleportation array. ”
Fang Xi casually chose a direction and began to fly away.
Whoosh whoosh!
Strong winds blew past, sweeping up thousands of yellow sands, like a golden ocean.
......
In the desert, a caravan of pack beasts lay scattered in disarray. Several pack beasts had their bodies torn apart, fallen to the ground, with blood flowing out.
Judging by the incompleteness of the corpses, they seemed to have been gnawed upon by some terrifying creature.
Several cultivators were controlling their artifacts, battling demon beasts that were emerging one by one from the sand dunes.
These demon beasts resembled yellowish-brown earthworms, but they were as thick as water buckets, with no eyes on their heads, yet covered in dense fangs.
“There are too many Drill-Ground Demon Worms. . . ”
A male cultivator, who had his head wrapped in cloth, revealing only a pair of eyes, shouted: “You all go first. . . ”
However, before he could sacrifice himself for righteousness, a black shadow descended from the sky, and streaks of pitch-black flames appeared.
Poof!
The Drill-Ground Demon Worms, whose bodies were difficult to harm with artifacts, turned into ashes with a 'poof' after even a wisp of black flame touched them.
“Ah! ”
A young girl gasped in surprise, then sensing the unfathomable magical power emanating from Fang Xi, immediately became respectful: “Many thanks to this senior for saving our lives. . . ”
