Chapter 514: Bestowing a Pill (Seeking Monthly Votes)
"To elevate the Grand Unity Azure Wood Divine Light to the grand accomplishment stage is due to advancing to the late-stage Nascent Soul realm, leading to a deeper comprehension of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. . . Indeed, contending with divine abilities and magical power is inferior to contending with one's cultivation!"
Fang Xi had always been a stubborn 'realm-first' adherent, most fond of suppressing others by transcending major realms.
At this moment, with a thought, from his storage ring, a jade box, long buried, flew out.
After unlocking the sealing talismans on the jade box, a ball of azure light enveloped an item and flew out from within.
Fang Xi gently beckoned and took hold of the item.
He saw an emerald-green leaf, as clear as jade, its stem and blade perfectly intact, with incredibly distinct veins.
"Array Spirit White Deer. . ."
Recalling the various events within the Long Evergreen Park mystic realm, a nostalgic expression couldn't help but appear on Fang Xi's face.
Fang Xi still trusted the White Deer quite a bit. Therefore, before cultivating to the late-stage Nascent Soul realm, he directly tucked this item away at the bottom of his box.
At this moment, his Divine Consciousness carefully examined this spirit leaf, and immediately, he discovered something different.
"Quick!"
Fang Xi cast a spell-incantation, which merged into the azure leaf. This azure leaf instantly grew larger once again, its surface shimmering with light, brimming with spiritual energy. Streaks of gold and silver patterns emerged, suddenly revealing a map!
"Oh?"
His eyes gleamed, instantly memorizing the map, then realizing: "The Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm mentioned by the White Deer, its entrance is actually in the Central Domain?"
According to the information Fang Xi possessed, the Central Domain had long since been battered into ruins.
"However, a spiritual realm forms its own world; its entrance is merely located somewhere in the central region. . . This leaf is the only key."
Fang Xi's eyes flickered, and he ultimately put the spirit leaf away once more, adding seventeen or eighteen talismans on top of it.
"The White Deer even said late-stage Nascent Soul or Soul Transformation. . . Going at late-stage Nascent Soul would be too reckless. At the very least, I'll wait until I reach Soul Transformation. . . Perhaps not even early-stage Soul Transformation, I might go when I'm at the perfected Soul Transformation realm. . ."
With this thought, he instantly felt a sense of boundless freedom.
Fang Xi let out a hearty laugh and entered the Mountain Sea Pearl's cave abode.
As soon as he entered this world, Fang Xi saw Little Azure beating Big Azure. . .
A Green Fire Luan was stomping on a green flood dragon, acting incredibly boastful and defiant.
Seeing Fang Xi arrive, the Green Fire Luan transformed into a young girl with flowing hair and ran over with a grin: "Master. . . it's so boring here. Every day, I either play with Big Azure, or I go cut Taisui meat to feed the Demonic Tree. . ."
"Alright, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to show off later. . ."
Fang Xi glanced at Big Azure, seeing that this flood dragon had already advanced to the superior-grade third-order, and couldn't help but nod inwardly.
Although he had only given Big Azure some scraps over the years, it was still enough for this 'dead salted fish' to advance all the way.
After all, his horizons had broadened now, and the caliber of his enemies had also risen. Big Azure had even consumed the flesh and blood of Heavenly Phoenixes and Five Elements Lin Clan members. . . though these were merely scraps leftover from the Demonic Tree's transformations.
Coupled with the 'Celestial Demon Extermination Manual' that he imparted, if it still couldn't advance, that would be truly a loss.
Fang Xi secretly decided in his heart that if he advanced to Soul Transformation and this flood dragon still hadn't broken through to the fourth-order, then he could directly give up on it. . .
He turned to leave, causing Big Azure to shiver with a chill, its inverse scales standing on end. It decided it would cultivate diligently from now on, otherwise, its master might just flay it alive and pull its tendons, making it vomit up everything it had eaten over the years. . .
Fang Xi came to the Demonic Tree, and with a casual sweep of his Divine Consciousness, he saw the Taisui, unmoving as a mountain.
He didn't bother with it, but instead walked to the tree trunk and extended his hand to stroke the Demonic Tree's pitch-black bark.
After advancing to the Grand Cultivator realm, his comprehension of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had deepened further.
Fang Xi was currently contemplating the 'Longevity Art', and even felt that he had previously failed to notice many subtle details, and had even made some errors.
"But these are all minor issues. The biggest problem, I'm afraid, lies with the Demonic Tree itself!"
Fang Xi stroked the tree trunk and murmured softly.
This Demonic Tree was like an avatar of his, and now that he had reached the late-stage Nascent Soul realm, his understanding of this tree had also ascended to a higher level.
"My Eternal Evergreen Body is currently making little progress, most likely because this tree isn't growing fast enough. . . Third-order Taisui meat is insufficient."
"The Demonic Tree requires blood sacrifices, massive, high-grade blood sacrifices. . ."
Fang Xi's face was filled with contemplation.
Of course, he couldn't go on a large-scale hunt for cultivators, thereby isolating himself from humanity. Therefore, his only options left were the demon race and the demonic race.
"If I obtain large quantities of high-grade demon race and demonic race flesh and blood. . . the Demonic Tree will surely grow rapidly, and at that time, my 'Longevity Art' might reach grand accomplishment, allowing me to break through to Soul Transformation in one go with the 'Longevity Dao Body', perfect!"
A hint of joy appeared in Fang Xi's eyes, and then he sat cross-legged beneath the Demonic Tree and re-refined all of his spirit treasures one by one.
Among other things, that 'Five Elements Ring' now in his hands, its power would definitely far surpass what it was before.
...
After thoroughly consolidating his cultivation in seclusion, Fang Xi exited his cave abode and saw that outside Qingxu Peak, there were already several transmission talismans.
He casually took one and immediately smiled.
At this moment, after some thought, he casually formed a spell-incantation.
In the void, azure light dots gathered and transformed into a small azure sword.
Fang Xi spoke a few words to the flying sword, and this flying sword transformed into a streak of azure light, disappearing into the horizon.
Not long after, a streak of escape light shimmered into view.
Yunzhu Zhenjun's Divine Consciousness swept forth, and he instantly felt Fang Xi was unfathomable. He couldn't help but offer a solemn bow: "Congratulations, Tian Kui Zhenjun, on breaking through to the late-stage Nascent Soul realm and becoming a Grand Cultivator!"
He bowed deeply, appearing extremely sincere.
"Very well. . ."
Fang Xi looked at Yunzhu Zhenjun, who appeared even more aged, and suddenly said: "I presume you've guessed it. I merely borrowed your esteemed land to cultivate and break through. Now that my cultivation has reached grand accomplishment, I am preparing to leave. . ."
Yunzhu Zhenjun's heart sank, knowing that the Three Immortals Sect was ultimately too small a temple to accommodate such a great Buddha.
"Before I depart, having received the care of your esteemed sect, I must repay you in some small measure. . ."
Fang Xi smiled faintly.
Back then, when he accepted the 'Yellow Spring Ghost Fire', though he hadn't explicitly promised anything, there was an implicit understanding that he would look after the Three Immortals Sect to some extent. This was an unspoken understanding between the two.
Now that he was preparing to casually depart, even though he had once eliminated Flowing Wind True Monarch for the Three Immortals Sect, he could still leave a small gift to foster good karma.
"True Monarch need not be like this. . ."
Yunzhu Zhenjun said: "Ever since True Monarch resided on Qingxu Peak, even when purchasing materials, the spirit stones provided were slightly higher than the market prices, dealing fairly with old and young alike. . . Truly, when it comes down to it, my Three Immortals Sect has also benefited from your esteemed reputation. . ."
He was seasoned and shrewd, knowing that excessive kindness can turn into resentment. At this moment, with Tian Kui Zhenjun having become a Grand Cultivator, his status was even more different. If he still dwelled on the favor regarding the Yellow Spring Ghost Fire, it would instead be beneath him.
"Haha. . . This pill, I shall give it to you."
Fang Xi took out a jade bottle and handed it to Yunzhu Zhenjun: "From now on, the Three Immortals Sect and I are truly even. . ."
"This is. . ."
Yunzhu Zhenjun held the jade bottle, and could faintly hear the sound of a phoenix crying from within, immediately realizing this pill was extraordinary.
"This is a 'Phoenix Origin Pill'. It is quite effective for early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators breaking through to the mid-stage, and also possesses the effect of extending lifespan. . ."
Fang Xi's gaze pierced through the calm Yunzhu Zhenjun desperately tried to maintain, and saw a hint of joy.
This was normal. After all, clinging to life is better than a good death, especially for cultivators like them.
"We Nascent Soul cultivators also gain a certain lifespan extension upon breaking through realms. Even if you fail to break through, the lifespan extended by this pill might still allow you to hold on until the Three Immortals Sect cultivates its next generation of Nascent Soul cultivators. . ."
Fang Xi said calmly.
These 'Phoenix Origin Pills' were still something he had plundered from Elder Qing.
Most of them had served as snacks for Little Azure, while a small portion could be used for trade.
"Many thanks, True Monarch. Your great kindness and benevolence, my Three Immortals Sect will surely engrave upon its heart."
Yunzhu Zhenjun bowed solemnly.
"That's enough. . ."
Fang Xi swept his sleeve, and immediately, azure light burst forth.
By the time Yunzhu Zhenjun regained his senses, Tian Kui Zhenjun had long since vanished without a trace. . .
...
Several days later.
Fang Xi emerged from a cultivation city, transforming into a streak of azure light, and soared directly into the nine heavens.
He arrived high in the sky, lying amidst a white cloud, his hands clasped behind his head. A somewhat helpless smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Finally. . . a Soul Transformation cultivator has made a move?"
"I just want to lie low in one place, quietly grow trees, and cultivate to immortality. Why is it so difficult?"
Currently, a Soul Transformation Demon Venerable has made a move in the Western Desert, and the situation in the Southern Desolate is even less optimistic. I'm afraid it has already been completely overrun.
Fang Xi mused that even if he went back and could slay four or five late-stage transformed great demons, he still wouldn't be able to change the tide of battle.
"The demon race is a bit fierce right now, I'll go bully the demonic race first. . ."
...
Kyushu World.
Within a volcanic cluster.
Countless ground fires surged, transforming into various fire flood dragons, fire phoenixes, fire crows. . .
On the pitch-black high platform at the very core, the honest-looking Ghost Axe Zhenjun stood with his hands behind his back, guiding Fang Xi in refining the Divine Infant Sword!
"This 'Blood River Stone' of yours has actually developed sentience and taken form, truly an anomaly. . . If it were to be rashly refined, damaging its spirituality, that would be a great pity. . ."
Ghost Axe Zhenjun said: "With the aid of the 'I Ching', I pondered for seven days and finally designed this 'refining furnace'. It can use the ground fire to draw forth the divine fire attribute light from beneath this volcanic cluster, and use this divine fire attribute light to refine the Divine Infant Sword, which is almost equivalent to a Soul Transformation cultivator personally refining the sword. . . Only then can the Blood River Stone's spirituality be perfectly integrated with the Divine Infant Sword. . . ""
Fang Xi nodded repeatedly as he listened.
When it came to understanding the demonic race, among the lower realms now, almost no one understood them more profoundly than the cultivators of the Kyushu World.
They had captured a large number of demonic race members and studied demonic cultivation methods, demonic artifacts. . .
The plan to modify the 'Divine Infant Sword' was thus extremely smooth.
"The Yang Year, Yang Month, Yang Day, Yang Hour has arrived. . . Open the furnace! ""
Ghost Axe Zhenjun suddenly let out a loud roar.
At this moment, the External Avatar was at the mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation. With a casual wave, streaks of demonic light condensed and plunged into the ground, transforming into Yin Demonic Thunderbolts, which exploded with a roar!
Rumbling!
Magma boiled for thousands of miles, the earth cracked open. . .
The volcano seemed to be enraged, spewing forth streaks of crimson light from deep within the earth!
Those countless fire spirits that had taken form, all coiled around the divine fire attribute light, following a certain specific rhythm, and rushed towards the 'Divine Infant Sword' in mid-air!
The Divine Infant Sword hummed, and blood-colored miniature figures appeared all around it, dancing around the divine sword.
Enveloped by the divine fire attribute light, that 'Blood River Stone' also rapidly melted, transforming into a gigantic crimson demonic bat, which suddenly shrieked and flew towards the Divine Infant Sword!
The crimson demonic bat had a ferocious appearance, and one by one, with each bite, it devoured the blood-colored miniature figures.
But with each miniature figure it devoured, a new rune would appear on its body, until finally, nine runes even linked together in a chain.
Just as the crimson demonic bat attempted to fly away, the Divine Infant Sword let out a sword cry like an infant's wail, and countless blood threads emerged from the void, tightly coiling around the crimson demonic bat and swallowing it into the sword's body.
"Merge!"
Fang Xi's hands continuously changed spell seals, and streaks of divine fire attribute light enveloped the Divine Infant Sword.
A moment later.
A Divine Infant Sword with a more slender blade, its surface covered in dense blood vessels, flew out from the divine fire attribute light and landed in Fang Xi's hand.
"Many thanks, True Monarch."
Fang Xi flicked the sword with his finger, and couldn't help but feel extremely satisfied.
Ghost Axe Zhenjun truly lived up to his reputation as a grandmaster refiner. Under his guidance, re-refining the 'Divine Infant Sword' was as simple as eating and drinking. The entire process was incredibly smooth, almost unbelievable!
