Chapter 515: Hall Master of Law Enforcement (Make up the arrears 45 more)
Fang Xian Dao Palace.
Above the ethereal clouds.
The External Avatar walked, secretly calculating to himself: "Now that I've advanced to the mid-Nascent Soul stage, combined with the Divine Infant Sword, I can even fight late-Nascent Soul cultivators and stand a good chance of winning. . ."
He walked until he reached a place where the clouds were so deep one couldn't see, and there he saw the Fang Xian Dao Master, with a celebratory cloud above his head and a tortoise and snake coiled around each other.
"Dao Master!"
Fang Xi bowed respectfully: "Have you still not achieved Soul Transformation?"
Decades ago, he was already in a state just a hair's breadth from Soul Transformation. To think that after decades, he remained so, inevitably left Fang Xi feeling uneasy.
'Is the Heavenly Chasm of Soul Transformation truly so terrifying? '
Such insights into the cultivation path beyond Soul Transformation were rarely heard even by ordinary Nascent Soul sects. Fang Xi quickly committed them to memory.
"Daoist friend, why have you come?"
After they discussed their cultivation experiences for a while, the Fang Xian Dao Master asked with a smile.
Fang Xi's expression turned solemn: "Dao Master, the previous preparations can now begin."
"Indeed. . . Daoist friend is merely a second Nascent Soul. Congratulations to your true self on breaking through to the late-Nascent Soul stage!"
The Fang Xian Dao Master seemed to have known this long ago, showing no surprise whatsoever: "Since that is the case, please follow me!"
With a wave of his hand, a sheet of void power enveloped Fang Xi.
A dizzying sensation washed over Fang Xi, and by the time he regained his bearings, he found himself inside a colossal factory.
Within the 'Fang Xian Dao Palace', a five-stage Numinous Treasure, even an ordinary Soul Transformation cultivator might not be a match for the Fang Xian Dao Master!
Fang Xi already knew this point, but as he was merely an External Avatar, he had nothing to fear.
At this moment, while secretly marveling at how the Fang Xian Dao Master manipulated the power of a world as easily as moving his arm, and its profound mysteries, Fang Xi swept his Divine Consciousness forward and saw a colossal tall tower.
The tower was entirely a chaotic, starlit color, a thousand zhang tall, surrounded by massive scaffolding. High in the air, cultivators, astride their escape light, were carrying out various modifications. . .
From the looks of it, most of the work was complete, and they were performing the final finishing touches and inspections.
From Fang Xi's ear, the Fang Xian Dao Master's voice came: "Primordial Spirit Magical Artifacts are the crystallization of our Kyushu world's highest cultivation technology. . . Previously, there were only three, each wielded by a late-Nascent Soul cultivator. This particular Primordial Spirit Magical Artifact has been secretly forged within the Fang Xian Dao Palace. . . It perfectly matches your requirements, and you may now wield it."
Fang Xi took out the Taiyi Scripture and immediately received a flood of dense information.
"There are three hundred and sixty-five such factories, each containing an identical 'Starry Pagoda'. . . When these three hundred and sixty-five 'Starry Pagodas' converge, they can form the five-stage 'Zhou Tian Star Array', gathering the power of the stars, its might boundless. . . I have now transferred the access key to you."
The Fang Xian Dao Master laughed: "Oh, right. . . Although our Fang Xian Dao controls Kyushu, such a major handover still needs to be explained to the populace. I will announce later that 'Zhang Huohua' has successfully formed his Nascent Soul and joined the Fang Xian Dao Palace's Elder Council. Furthermore, we will establish a new 'Hall Master of Law Enforcement' position, which will allow you to legitimately wield the Primordial Spirit Magical Artifact. . . Remember to attend the press conference!"
...
Inside the Five Elements Cabin.
Jing Yi sat cross-legged, forming hand seals.
His mind was clear and serene as he entered a state of void meditation, unaware of how much time had passed.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Suddenly, the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth converged, rushing wildly into his body, forming a smooth, round Golden Core within his Dantian.
A powerful spiritual pressure bloomed outwards.
"Finally. . . I've formed a Core."
Jing Yi opened his eyes, which were filled with excitement.
He studied diligently at Fang Xian University, cultivated daily, and tirelessly maneuvered within various factions. After graduation, he successfully remained at the university, serving as a counselor and accumulating merits.
In recent years, he finally reached full mastery, cultivating to the Perfected Foundation Establishment realm, and then his turn for the Five Elements Cabin finally arrived.
Now, after secluding himself to form his Core, he had succeeded in one fell swoop!
"I'm finally a Core Formation Master too!"
Jing Yi brushed his sleeve, stood up, and burst into hearty laughter.
After laughing, he flew out of the Five Elements Cabin and began replying to messages from his friends and family, one by one.
As he did so, he also thought of Senior Zhang Huohua.
He had heard that after Zhang Huohua joined the Origin Qi Research Institute, there had been no news of him. Had he perhaps faded into obscurity?
After all, after forming a Core, every step forward was indeed incredibly difficult.
'Now that I've also formed a Core, I've somewhat caught up to Senior Zhang's footsteps. . . Next, should I pursue a doctorate? '
Even if he was unwilling to admit it deep down, Jing Yi had always taken Zhang Huohua as his goal, constantly spurring himself forward.
Just then, his terminal connected to Jing Zian's video call.
"Dad. . . I've formed a Core."
Jing Yi said, his face brimming with pride and self-satisfaction.
Jing Zian seemed to be watching television at the moment. Hearing his son, he replied absentmindedly: "Formed a Core, huh? Good, good. . . But son, quickly, look at the news, something big has happened!"
"What?"
For a moment, Jing Yi even doubted if he was Jing Zian's biological son. With a dubious expression, he opened the news channel.
At this moment, all major channels were broadcasting the same news.
"Congratulations to True Monarch Zhang Huohua on his promotion, appointed as the Hall Master of Law Enforcement!"
Staring at the massive banner above, Jing Yi was stunned for a moment: "Zhang Huohua. . . he's ascended to Nascent Soul? ""No. . . it's not just an ordinary promotion. The Fang Xian Dao Palace has even granted him a status comparable to the three great Hall Masters, and he's to wield a Primordial Spirit Magical Artifact?"
At this moment, he somewhat understood his dad.
Compared to such a world-shaking event, a mere Core Formation advancement was nothing to brag about!
Watching Zhang Huohua solemnly taking an oath during the live broadcast, and repeatedly confirming it wasn't just a namesake, Jing Yi nearly suffered an unstable Dao heart, almost causing the Golden Core he had so painstakingly formed to crumble away. . .
"He. . . actually reached Nascent Soul."
"No. . . he's now one of the five most powerful individuals in the Fang Xian Dao Palace. . ."
"How could he be so fast? How am I supposed to catch up now?"
Jing Yi's heart was filled with despair. . .
Meanwhile, under the gaze of countless Kyushu world citizens, the broadcast continued.
The scene shifted, moving to a colossal aerospace launch base.
Accompanying the countdown, "Three, two, one. . . ignite! ", a thousand-zhang tall tower, enveloped by formations, was slowly sent into space. . .
Beyond the screen, the impassioned voice of a newscaster resonated: "The Zhou Tian Star Array. . . is yet another Primordial Spirit Magical Artifact meticulously crafted by our Fang Xian Dao Palace, holding immense significance for fully resolving the Moon Demon calamity. . ."
...
Night.
Fang Xi returned to his cave abode, still feeling a bit awkward.
The daytime handover of the Primordial Spirit Magical Artifact was merely a ceremony; the Fang Xian Dao Master had already given him the core access.
'Who knew I'd have to give a speech. . . So exhausting! '
He lay on the sofa, thinking to himself with a hint of speechlessness.
Today's inauguration ceremony even revealed 'Zhang Huohua's' resume, embellishing it greatly. For instance, claiming he was excellent in both character and academics as a child, often helping old grandfathers cross the road. . . and after entering university, he was even more diligently upward-striving, pushing for the realization of significant scientific research achievements, and so on.
It was likely because Zhang Huohua's resume was rather thin, with truly little worth reporting. . . It was a bit exaggerated.
'Forget it, no need to dwell on such trivialities. At least the Primordial Spirit Magical Artifact is now in my hands. '
"Taiyi!"
Fang Xi called out, and the Taiyi Scripture materialized in his hand, projecting screens of light filled with intricate parameters.
"Damn it. . . if I hadn't attended university for a few years, I wouldn't even know how to use this Primordial Spirit Magical Artifact. . ."
Fang Xi was a university student after all, so he could still understand these parameters, knowing they represented the three hundred and sixty-five Starry Pagodas had entered their designated orbits and were currently operating well.
"This Zhou Tian Star Array was also a fragmented formation diagram obtained from a certain world back then, later completed by crafting Starry Pagodas using technological means. . ."
"Strictly speaking, it's still a formation!"
A slight curve appeared at the corner of Fang Xi's lips.
As a four-stage formation master, he had a considerable advantage in controlling the Zhou Tian Star Array.
With the aid of the Taiyi Scripture, Fang Xi's Divine Consciousness reached far and wide, extending into space to connect with each of the Starry Pagodas!
Streaks of starlight converged, forming a tall human figure.
Fang Xi's projection opened its eyes, gazing at the vast cosmic starry sky, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Who would have thought that a world with a 'round heaven and square earth' concept would also possess such an expansive universe. . ."
His gaze then turned towards the direction of the Taiyin Star.
Now, he could clearly see the true scene of the Taiyin Star!
On the surface of the Taiyin Star, countless ancient demons roared and slaughtered, densely packed. . . They even modified the Taiyin environment, forming a conversion array. Rich demonic qi surged skyward, only to be sliced away one by one by the 'Twelve Yuan Chen Grand Heavenly Fiend Array'!
The twelve space stations revolved around the Taiyin Star, like its satellites. Every moment, large numbers of Nascent Soul True Monarch-level fleet commanders, piloting sky-patrolling warships, patrolled along specific routes. . .
Small-scale battles between humans and demons were occurring almost every moment. . .
"The Taiyin Defense Line is indeed the lifeline of humanity in the Kyushu world. . . Without this defense line, I fear the entire Kyushu world would have long been corrupted by demons. . ."
Fang Xi murmured.
"Ding! You have a call request from True Monarch Tu Mo!"
Taiyi provided the warm prompt.
After Fang Xi connected, a light projection formed before him, revealing the figure of True Monarch Tu Mo.
This 'Lord of the Empyrean Hall' commanded a large number of Nascent Soul True Monarch subordinates, and his own combat power was likely the strongest among the three late-Nascent Soul cultivators.
"Hall Master of Law Enforcement. . ."
True Monarch Tu Mo, usually stern-faced, forced a slightly stiff smile: "I look forward to the day we fight side-by-side."
"Please rest assured, that day is not far off. May Kyushu endure forever!"
"May Kyushu endure forever!"
