Chapter 555: Brain-Boosting Liquid (Extra Chapter for Subscription)
Fang Xi focused intently on the screen, manipulating it with his Divine Consciousness.
Through virtual reality technology, it felt as if he were directly present at the scene, witnessing Bi Mei Luo Han's breakthrough to the Divine Transformation realm!
He could even sense the flow of spiritual energy between heaven and earth, constantly converging towards a certain vortex.
The spiritual energy within a thousand li was almost entirely stirred up!
The Divine Transformation Heavenly Phenomenon could affect an area of a thousand li!
Furthermore, above the five-colored aurora, streaks of dense demonic qi tinged the five-colored aurora with a hint of gloom.
In the past, this polluted spiritual energy of heaven and earth would surely have brought more trouble for cultivators breaking through to the Divine Transformation realm.
But with the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi Particle Atlas and the 'Three-Phase Annihilation Art', everything became smooth and unobstructed!
“It truly is the Three-Phase Annihilation Art. . . I just wonder what kind of void treasure was used. ”
Fang Xi muttered.
The 'Three-Phase Annihilation Art' allows the three qi to merge into one, its effects are incredible, but it also has a flaw, which lies in the 'void spiritual treasure' used to suppress the various qi within the body. If the void treasure's grade isn't high enough, one might have to abandon this secret art after reaching Divine Transformation, to avoid dying from the conflict of the various qi within their body!
‘It's different for the Fang Xian Dao Palace Master. I believe that even at the Divine Transformation stage, he can easily switch between Divine Transformation demon cultivators and demon race forms. . . Who knows how many conveniences that brings in the Earthly Immortal World. ’
“What Bi Mei Luo Han used is the 'Subspace Seed' I crafted. It can be said to be one of the best void treasures in this world, roughly equivalent to a top-grade spirit treasure of the same rank! ”
Ghost Axe Venerable explained.
‘A fourth-grade top-tier item, then? It's still quite inferior to the Fang Xian Dao Palace, though. . . ’
Fang Xi murmured to himself, when he saw above the firmament, five streams of aurora transformed into a vast, kaleidoscopic lake of light, slowly descending towards Bi Mei Luo Han's secluded cultivation spot.
In the void, there seemed to be an invisible resistance, preventing this layer of light-lake, despite its utmost efforts to descend, from ultimately completing the step of drawing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body.
“It seems it's still quite difficult. . . ”
Bi Mei Luo Han's current realm was just like the Fang Xian Dao Palace Master's back then, where the turtle and snake intertwined, yet ultimately fell short by a thread, failing to achieve True Martial!
Just then, Bi Mei Luo Han let out an angry roar.
Above the Nine Heavens, the power of the scorching sun gathered across the sky, transforming into a 'Sun God-Slaying Annihilation Ray', descending upon the five-colored aurora lake!
At this moment, this ray of light was not for destruction, but for suppression. . . assisting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to enter the body!
“To think of using a Primordial Spirit Magical Artifact. . . ”
Fang Xi's eyes lit up. This idea was quite good, and he could do it too!
Whoosh!
The five-colored aurora lake trembled, and a streak of green and blue aurora entered Bi Mei Luo Han's body, followed by the third, then the fourth. . .
Just as Fang Xi thought Bi Mei Luo Han was about to fully absorb the fifth five-element aurora into his body and completely break through the Divine Transformation bottleneck, the heavens and earth suddenly changed!
He looked up and saw a massive Candledragon whose body was incomparably vast, as if it had coiled itself around the entire Kyushu World. He immediately let out a cold snort: "Red Refining Demon and Huo Cangzi. . . what audacity! ”
However, with Tumo Venerable present, he was quite confident in this person.
A sudden change occurred!
Just as Bi Mei Luo Han was absorbing the fifth streak of aurora, the spiritual energy filling the sky trembled violently, and then the five-colored aurora lake transformed into specks of light, dissipating between heaven and earth.
“Alas. . . ”
Bi Mei Luo Han's sigh, full of helplessness, echoed, and streaks of iridescent light appeared one after another from his secluded cultivation area, spilling into the void, forming waves of spiritual energy.
“This is. . . a failed breakthrough? ”
Fang Xi's expression was also extremely solemn.
The Divine Transformation chasm truly lived up to its reputation!
Even if Wan Zang Zhenjun, Gui Axe Zhenjun, and Tumo Venerable were the most formidable and talented late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators he had ever seen, they could only be said to have hope of achieving Divine Transformation!
But having a glimmer of hope didn't mean success was guaranteed!
This failed breakthrough also seemed to be within reason.
“This old man's accumulation was still insufficient after all, and I was a bit too eager. . . I was caught by appearances. . . ”
A screen appeared, showing Bi Mei Luo Han sitting cross-legged within it.
At this moment, besides looking a bit tired, he didn't have any external injuries, and even his magical power fluctuations were still around the peak Nascent Soul realm.
“Bi Mei, you were able to absorb four streams of aurora into your body, only half a step away from achieving Divine Transformation. . . You will surely succeed next time. ”
Fang Xi consoled him.
“Alas. . . only now do I realize that the Dao Palace Master's talent is far beyond our imagination. It truly surpasses our imagination. ”
Bi Mei Luo Han pressed his palms together, his eyes beneath his white brows filled with endless emotion: “After failing to break through the Divine Transformation bottleneck, this old man used the 'Return to Origin Secret Art' taught by the Dao Palace Master to disperse the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and fortunately did not harm my Nascent Soul. A few years of recuperation will be enough for me to fully recover. . . ”
“After this experience, this old man has come to understand that even if I were lucky enough to break through the Divine Transformation bottleneck, I would surely perish in the subsequent Heart Demon, Five Elements, and Lightning Tribulations. To fail before the bottleneck, however, is a good thing! ”
Upon hearing this, Ghost Axe Venerable couldn't help but nod solemnly.
Fang Xi's expression was also extremely solemn.
Most cultivators who fail to break through to Divine Transformation only suffer some damage to their vitality. Like Bi Mei Luo Han, those with secret arts or exotic treasures protecting them might not even lose much of their vitality.
But it's different after successfully breaking through the bottleneck. There's no good fortune in giving up halfway.
One either overcomes the three tribulations and achieves Divine Transformation!
Or, one turns to ashes under the tribulations!
There is no third option!
Some late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, despite being confident in breaking through the Divine Transformation bottleneck, still choose to suppress their cultivation for a while, precisely to cope with the subsequent calamities.
Kyushu World, in space.
Red Refining Demon Zun and Huo Cangzi exchanged glances, and incredibly, turned to ashes benefit the Candledragon's massive maw. . .
“They were two demon blood avatars! ”
Tumo Venerable's voice then resounded: “These two Demon Venerables must have left with satisfaction after seeing Bi Mei's failed breakthrough. . . Hmph, once I reach Divine Transformation, I will surely exterminate them! ”
Even he had to admit that while the Kyushu World currently had ample defenses, its offensive capabilities were lacking.
Bi Mei Luo Han attempted Divine Transformation as soon as he reached the peak of Nascent Soul Perfection. It was not without this consideration.
...
“Divine Transformation. . . difficult, difficult, difficult! ”
Inside the Mountain Sea Pearl's cave-heaven.
Fang Xi once again assimilated with his Second Primordial Spirit, then sent it back to the Kyushu World, recalling the intelligence he had just obtained. He couldn't help but sigh.
“Using Primordial Spirit Magical Artifacts to assist in manipulating the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. . . That should have some feasibility. ”
“The Return to Origin Secret Art is also good. It can actively disperse the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, preventing severe backlash from a failed breakthrough. . . ”
“If the Black Ganoderma fragments could yield some results from research, that would be even better. ”
He shook his head and sighed, looking at the Taisui beneath the Demonic Tree.
After devouring the fourth-grade inner core of that algae orb monster beast, the Taisui seemed unchanged, just like always. . .
This made Fang Xi's expression turn somewhat grim, recalling the difficulties the Taisui had faced when advancing to Foundation Establishment and Core Formation.
“I've fed quite a few fourth-grade monster cores to the third-grade Taisui already. I didn't expect to still get this result. . . ”
“Could it be. . . that I really have to use the fourth-grade superior-grade Black Taisui inner core? Wouldn't that be too much of a loss? ”
He was momentarily hesitant and indecisive.
What's more, even though nurturing the Taisui was necessary to better feed the Demonic Tree, Fang Xi would absolutely not do so before eradicating the hidden collective consciousness within the Black Taisui's inner core.
Otherwise, he highly suspected that the Taisui would become an avatar of the Black Taisui, and by then, everything would be ruined. . .
After exiting the Mountain Sea Pearl, Fang Xi put away the Mountain Sea Pearl and walked out of the cave-heaven.
Whoosh!
A cold wind blew, and as far as the eye could see, everything was covered in a blanket of white snow.
Unlike the previous glacial environment, Fang Xi's current secluded cultivation spot was a snowfield.
Because he had the Mountain Sea Pearl's cave-heaven, he didn't need to specifically seek out spiritually abundant locations for his secluded cultivation. Thus, he deliberately traveled towards mundane areas with insufficient spiritual energy, and encountered few cultivators along the way.
“In such a harsh environment, there are probably very few mortals in the Northern Plains. . . ”
Fang Xi stepped out, transforming into a streak of green light, and flew out of the cave-heaven.
Then, he let out a long howl!
Rumble!
The long howl shook the surrounding valleys, and countless masses of white snow collapsed with a roar, like the great tide of Qiantang, surging downwards!
An avalanche!
Rumble!
The avalanche from one snow-capped peak seemed to trigger a chain reaction, making peak after peak of snow mountains roar, as countless white waves rolled down like the waves of a vast ocean.
Amidst the swirling snow and wind, the culprit leisurely hovered in mid-air, watching the vast accumulated snow surge past his feet like great rivers. He casually pulled out a gourd of green bamboo wine, uncorked it, and drank his fill: “This snowscape. . . is truly breathtakingly beautiful. ”
In this scene, Fang Xi felt that his 'Seven Emotions Separation Spectrum' seemed to have improved again.
Perhaps after returning to cultivate for a bit, and with the aid of the Crystalline Thought Fruit's effects, he might be able to completely refine the second layer!
‘Over in the Kyushu World, they've analyzed the Crystalline Thought Fruit and also produced ten tubes of 'Calming and Brain-Nourishing Liquid'. . . The utilization rate is indeed higher. ’
‘Worldly Refinement of the Heart doesn't mean sealing one's cultivation and becoming a mortal, but rather to travel widely and observe much. . . to feel different shocks, to touch the soul. . . ’
Drawing on this rare insight, Fang Xi flew forth, casually dug a pit a thousand li away, and buried the Mountain Sea Pearl inside.
Then. . . he re-entered the Mountain Sea Pearl's cave-heaven, opened a silvery-white box, grabbed a tube of 'Calming and Brain-Nourishing Liquid', pulled out the stopper, and drank it all in one gulp.
“This bitter taste. . . it hasn't faded one bit! ”
He muttered a complaint, slowly refining the medicinal power, and began a deep-level Divine Consciousness cultivation.
...
Time passed, its duration unknown.
Inside the Mountain Sea Pearl, it was business as usual. Xiao Qing was still routinely bullying Da Qing, but they only dared to frolic from afar, not daring to approach the Demonic Tree.
On this day.
Xiao Qing was staring at the Five Dragons Treasure Tree, her large eyes blinking rapidly, when a green figure flashed into view, and Fang Xi walked over.
“Master? ! ”
It was then that Xiao Qing noticed Fang Xi's eyes were incredibly bright, shining like stars.
“Your demonic qi has improved again, good. . . ”
Fang Xi nodded, and a wisp of Divine Sense shot out from between his brows, and incredibly, transformed into a tangible, substantive white crystalline thread in the void!
Pop!
The moment this slender thread appeared, it carried a peculiar sense of oppressive might.
Xiao Qing, receiving Fang Xi's signal, breathed out a mouthful of Green Luan Fire, but the crystalline thread in mid-air instantly vanished, then reappeared, landing at the edge of her neck.
“Divine Sense materialized? Could Master have already broken through to Divine Transformation? ”
Xiao Qing's eyes lit up.
