Chapter 508: Soul Transformation (In celebration of Alliance Master Tao Baibai, the Pillar Killer)
Inside the Valley God Mystic Realm.
Bluish-green mist covered a small portion of the region, almost obscuring the sky and sun!
Those cultivators, enveloped within, quickly fell silent. . .
Within the mist, a giant face faintly appeared, still roaring loudly: "Valley God, Valley God!"
...
"This isn't good. . ."
Without a word, Fang Xi immediately rode his White Jade Toad, fleeing far from that azure firmament.
He could feel that the sparse spiritual energy of heaven and earth within the mystic realm was actually converging towards that bluish-green mist.
Thus, any casual spell cast by a Soul Transformation cultivator possessed the might to incinerate mountains and boil seas; ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators were absolutely no match.
Fang Xi was merely an External Avatar working a job; he'd be foolish to go all out against someone like that.
He came to the mystic realm to dig for treasures; there was no need to fight such a terrifyingly powerful enemy.
"According to the main body's intelligence. . . outside, there's also the Saint Fire Cult's spirit ship, likely with a Grand Cultivator guarding it. Going out now would be like walking into a trap. . . Moreover, I don't even know where the mystic realm's exit is. . ."
The Five Fire Gu controlled four-colored flames, escaping with extreme speed.
Fang Xi, however, sat cross-legged, slowly pondering how to escape.
"The limits of a Soul Transformation cultivator's Divine Consciousness are immeasurable; it's best not to use the All-Heavens Precious Mirror in their vicinity. After all, I'm not the main body; while there would be some loss if I died, it would be acceptable. . ."
"Historically, such mystic realms and blessed lands, as long as they don't form a world of their own, are theoretically attached to the main world. . . Their space is also more fragile compared to the main world."
"Therefore, as long as I find a weak point in space and then employ a void-manipulating divine ability, there's a good chance I can shatter the void and escape!"
This method of escape was not simple; in fact, it could be said to be extremely difficult.
Even if a Nascent Soul Patriarch's Nascent Soul could directly manipulate void power for teleportation, when it came to comprehending the Dao of Void? They would absolutely be clueless!
Only Fang Xi, having studied the 'All-Heavens Precious Mirror' day and night and recently acquired the Phoenix Seal Script, could barely claim to have taken the first steps into the Dao of Void.
"This Feng Shisan has the body of a Heavenly Phoenix, naturally suited to casting void arts, which makes things much more convenient. . ."
Fang Xi glanced back, only to see the bluish-green mist already spreading everywhere, surging forth like a great tidal wave, his expression growing even more solemn.
After a moment's thought, he pulled out the Profound Origin Eight Views Pearl, which contained the 'Qi Luck Gu', and injected a trace of magical power into it.
"To shatter the void and escape, is it auspicious or ominous?"
As his words left his mouth, the Qi Luck Gu immediately changed, actually emitting an inch of golden light!
"Auspicious!"
Fang Xi nodded slightly, guessing that if he were to divine the outcome of a battle against that bluish-green giant face behind him, the Qi Luck Gu would definitely unceremoniously show black!
"Indeed. . . Is this the glimmer of hope?"
A seven-colored light flashed in his eyes, and he quickly began searching for weak points in the surrounding void.
Such weak points were hidden and formless; outsiders would find it extremely difficult to detect them, unless they were cultivators specializing in the Dao of Void.
Fortunately, Fang Xi was not in that category.
He let out a long cry, and seven-colored light actually appeared around his body, transforming into a shimmering aura.
Then, he formed hand seals with both hands, muttering incantations.
The seven-colored aura continuously condensed inward, forming numerous birds resembling five-colored Heavenly Phoenixes, which flew in all directions.
These were spiritual birds he had conjured with his own magical power, capable of searching for weak points in the void.
If it weren't for this Heavenly Phoenix body, doing so would indeed be quite troublesome.
"Go!"
Fang Xi rode the White Jade Toad, simultaneously releasing the five-colored spiritual birds to search for weak points in the void.
Just then, behind him, a loud shout suddenly rang out: "Amitabha!"
Fang Xi swept his Divine Consciousness and saw a golden light being overtaken by the bluish-green mist. . . Then, the golden light erupted fiercely, transforming into a colossal golden Buddha, standing tall as heaven and earth.
Around the Buddha's phantom, there were also stalks of emerald bamboo, which now bore traces of gold, emitting an inexplicable profound light that swept backward.
The bluish-green mist, which had previously devoured Core Formation and Nascent Soul cultivators as if they were nothing, encountered an opponent for the first time. Swept by the profound light, it actually dissipated directly!
It seemed that the terrifying existence sealed here since ancient times might be a demon beast?
Fang Xi mused inwardly, a sudden joy appearing on his face.
Within the range of his Divine Consciousness, a five-colored spiritual bird in the southeast crashed into a section of the void, suddenly exploding into countless five-colored specks of light.
"A weak point in the void, finally found one!"
Fang Xi urged the Five Fire Gu, immediately rushing towards the southeast.
His joy was mixed with a touch of solemnity.
Because that direction was already very close to the bluish-green mist, effectively at its edge.
Given the opponent's expansion speed, it might not be long before it completely swallowed that area.
"Fortunately, that Buddhist cultivator is holding it back; he should still be at the late Nascent Soul stage. What a truly good person!"
Within a single mystic realm, there might be only a few weak points in the void.
Therefore, even if it was dangerous, Fang Xi had to try it once.
Whoosh!
The Five Fire Gu's escape speed was incredibly fast, like lightning and thunder, arriving at the weak point in the void in the blink of an eye.
But just then, from within the bluish-green mist, a purple tongue suddenly shot out.
On the tongue, there were even tattooed patterns seared onto it, looking exceedingly bizarre.
Puff!
The purple tongue, like a long spear, actually swept away numerous golden bamboos with a single strike, even piercing through the Buddha's golden body!
At the top of the Buddha, Zen Master Jin Guang's face turned pale. He then forcibly cast a secret art, his face ashen like golden paper, filled with regret: "I never expected that a Soul Transformation Demon Venerable was imprisoned within this mystic realm; I was truly careless. . . That Jade Kylin must have come for it. . . Fortunately, this Demon Venerable seems to have been sealed for too long, gone mad from cultivation deviation, and completely lost its mind? "
Even so, Zen Master Jin Guang was absolutely no match for it.
Had he not just obtained a piece of Nine-Heart Pure Bamboo capable of suppressing demon beasts, and refined it into his own Buddhist domain, and had that Soul Transformation Demon Venerable not already been mad, he wouldn't have been able to hold on until now.
Even so, at this moment, he was at the end of his tether!
Puff, puff!
Within the bluish-green mist, a demon body, resembling a small mountain, appeared indistinctly.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth converged once more, causing the bluish-green mist to rapidly expand.
"Damn!"
Fang Xi watched as the bluish-green mist spread and engulfed the weak point in the void, cursing under his breath.
Immediately afterward, his expression turned resolute, and he slapped the Five Fire Gu beneath him.
"Gugua!"
The Five Fire Gu roared skyward, opening its massive maw. Demonic flames of various colors flew out one after another, fiercely scorching the bluish-green mist.
Bone-Melting Blood Flame, Red Lotus Demonic Fire, Mysterious Corpse Fire, Myriad Poison Demonic Flame, Three Yang Demonic Fire. . .
The five types of flames burst forth together, forming a five-colored lotus that spun as it entered the bluish-green mist.
The Bone-Melting Blood Flame turned bone to ash upon contact with blood, while the Red Lotus Demonic Fire was incredibly explosive.
The Mysterious Corpse Fire appeared grayish-white, carrying a chilling sensation.
The Myriad Poison Demonic Flame, emerald green all over, continuously exuded potent venom.
As for the Three Yang Demonic Fire, its flames were three-colored, exceedingly mysterious.
Hiss, hiss!
The five-colored fire lotus submerged into the bluish-green mist, immediately evaporating the surrounding mist, but more mist replenished from all directions, making Fang Xi's expression very grim.
Human power has its limits!
But the power of heaven and earth is boundless!
As a Nascent Soul cultivator, pitting magical power consumption against a Soul Transformation cultivator was inherently a very foolish endeavor.
"Hurry!"
The five-colored fire lotus enveloped the area above, carving out an open space within the bluish-green mist. Though it tottered precariously, it remained!
Fang Xi dared not delay. He abruptly formed hand seals with both hands, and two streaks of dark demonic light crisscrossed, landing at the weak point in the void.
Ripple!
The void faintly trembled, but did not shatter.
'Although the void here is relatively weak, it's not something an External Avatar's magical power can shatter. . . '
'No. . . If this continues, once the fire lotus is exhausted, this area will again be filled with bluish-green mist, and I'll be in danger as well. . . '
'It seems I still need to use the 'Divine Infant Sword'. . . How did this 'Qi Luck Gu' calculate? It's not accurate at all. . . '
Just as Fang Xi was complaining, a patch of mist dispersed, and two streaks of escape light fled out.
Fang Xi couldn't help but be slightly startled; he was surprisingly familiar with both of these escape lights.
One of them was Pan Yin, her second Nascent Soul transformed into the shape of a Golden Silkworm Gu, perched on her shoulder, looking utterly frail.
The other person was actually Jade Lord!
This person was surrounded by a layer of dark green light, and a grayish-white pagoda floated above his head. Any bluish-green mist that approached it simply vanished. . .
Jade Lord didn't recognize Fang Xi at all, as the person he saw was a stranger mounted on a giant toad, wearing a silver-white mask. However, seeing the faintly fluctuating void, a hint of joy appeared on his face: "Fellow Daoist, do you have a method to exit the mystic realm? Why don't we cooperate. . . If we don't work together now, we'll immediately become food for that Soul Transformation Demon Venerable!"
Bringing up this matter, even Jade Lord was filled with bitterness and helplessness.
Their demon race had painstakingly searched to find the sealed location of the ancient 'Valley God Demon Venerable', and during the last Realm Descent, they had seized the 'Gu God Token'. This time, their trip to the mystic realm secretly also intended to investigate and release this Soul Transformation Demon Venerable.
Who would have thought. . . this Soul Transformation Demon Venerable had been sealed for too long, had long since gone mad from cultivation deviation, and was completely insane!
Now that it was out of its predicament, it killed anyone it saw. Even for him, a descendant of the Five Elements Lin Clan, there was absolutely no mercy to be had.
"Yes, Fellow Daoist, if you have a plan to escape, I will certainly reward you heavily. . . I am Pan Yin of the Gu Immortal Sect, and this is Jade Lord of the Black Dragon Sect; we will absolutely not go back on our word. . ."
Pan Yin likewise did not recognize Fang Xi.
After all, the Five Fire Gu she gave Fang Xi back then was Earth-grade, but the one Fang Xi was riding now was Heaven-grade!
Moreover, after the Five Fire Gu accommodated five demonic flames and advanced to Heaven-grade, its aura and appearance had both changed.
Within this Valley God Mystic Realm, various rare Gu worms were plentiful. While Five Fire Gus weren't common enough to be grabbed by the handful, they certainly existed!
She probably assumed this Gu was Fang Xi's gain within the mystic realm.
"Agreed!"
The situation was urgent. Seeing the five-colored fire lotus's active range being continuously compressed, Fang Xi immediately said: "Let us attack this spot together!"
He used a streak of demonic energy to directly mark the spot: "Once this weak point is broken open and the void shatters, we should be able to exit."
"Fellow Daoist can actually find weak points in the void, excellent!"
Neither Jade Lord nor Pan Yin hesitated in the slightest. Seeing Fang Xi wave his hand and unleash demonic light, they immediately attacked in kind.
An emerald jade ruler and a golden Gu worm instantly flew out, landing at the weak point in the void.
Far surpassing Fang Xi's previous attack, this caused the void here to fluctuate even more violently. The void whined mournfully, as if it would shatter the next second. . .
