Chapter 562: Nascent Soul Perfection (Requesting Monthly Tickets)

Fangxian University.

Femtometer Research Institute.

Fang Xi entered the research institute. Through layers of seals, he saw the cultivation chamber displayed on a screen.

Inside the cultivation chamber, Black Taisui sub-bodies were now spread everywhere, with various fungi growing wantonly, looking quite unsettling.

"Regarding the issue of how to clear the collective consciousness, after consulting with Gui Axe Zhenjun, I already have a concrete plan. We can begin now."

Huo Yunzi said to Fang Xi with a smile.

"Oh?"

Fang Xi's eyes lit up: "Is it finally starting? That game. . ."

"Mhm, it's just the launch date today. Want to go take a look together?"

A wisp of their Divine Consciousness immediately traveled through the smart terminals on their bodies, arriving in a virtual space.

"Elysium!"

A thought stirred within Fang Xi. He recalled the dark zone of the virtual network that Gui Axe Zhenjun had specially released back then to "fish" for the Diving Dragon.

"Since it utilizes the latest virtual reality technology, this game is sure to receive widespread acclaim."

Huo Yunzi smiled.

"I'm looking forward to it."

Fang Xi was also somewhat expectant.

......

"Hm? Shenwu released a new game?"

Jing Yi, a Core Formation True Man with a severe internet addiction, was bored browsing the latest games online when he suddenly spotted a new title, his eyes instantly brightening: ""Cultivators vs. Mushrooms". . . seems quite interesting, doesn't it?"

He clicked to enter, and without any need for download, he arrived at a virtual level.

Ahead, black mushrooms transformed into soldiers, charging towards him. . .

"Isn't this just beating up mushrooms?"

After playing a few levels, Jing Yi couldn't help but complain: "Watch me clear you in a day. . ."

Later. . .

"Blech! Blech!"

Jing Yi ripped off his terminal, feeling a bit nauseous.

Thinking of the colossal Taisui that appeared in the third-to-last level, that massive chunk of flesh, and the sensation of being slowly suffocated as it crushed him, sent shivers down his spine.

He checked the game's official website, and as expected, it was filled with curses.

But for some reason, the Shenwu Company's determination to promote the game was remarkably firm, even offering in-game currency for playing, which made many players unwilling to let go, even as they cursed.

"This. . . it seems there's an administrative force pushing this from behind the scenes."

Seeing this, Jing Yi immediately fell into thought.

......

Above the firmament of the virtual space.

Fang Xi and Huo Yunzi, like creators, watched the countless small worlds below where cultivators battled mushrooms.

"The seven emotions and six desires of humans are the most complex. . . converging into a single force to impact the original spiritual imprint?"

Fang Xi smiled faintly: "The concept is quite ingenious. . ."

This arrangement subtly reminded him of the Diving Dragon from back then.

"Indeed, I owe much to Gui Axe Zhenjun's guidance. . ."

Huo Yunzi said: "I couldn't have conceived of such a neural link structure. . ."

"Besides that, I'd like to commission the development of two more games, specifically targeting mushrooms and turtles. . ."

Fang Xi thought of the superior-grade fourth-order Black Taisui Inner Core and the fifth-order Mysterious Turtle's Blood in his possession, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Certainly, it's just a matter for a few programmers. . ."

Huo Yunzi readily agreed, unconcerned, taking full responsibility.

......

The launch of several new dark-themed games brought a variety of fresh and thrilling experiences to the gaming enthusiasts of the Kyushu World, while the External Avatar's days were monotonously filled with research, cultivation, and daily life.

Inside the Mountain Sea Pearl cave-abode.

Fang Xi sat cross-legged. A spiritual light flickered above his head, and a Nascent Soul appeared.

At this moment, this main Nascent Soul was nearly three inches tall, its appearance vaguely resembling a youth.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Spiritual energy swirled around, being frantically refined, forming a green and yellow vortex.

Within the vortex, wisps of purple qi were generated and then completely absorbed by the main Nascent Soul.

"Hmph!"

With a soft cry, its form grew by another few fen, effectively breaking through the three-inch limit.

The main Nascent Soul held the All-Heavens Precious Mirror, upon which a faint three-colored seed could be seen, connecting with all qi and commanding the Five Elements. . .

It frolicked for a while longer before yawning, transforming into a green speck of light, which entered Fang Xi's glabella, traveled down his spine, and went straight into his Qi Sea Dantian.

Within the Qi Sea Dantian, there was also a slightly thinner wisp of 'Heavenly Demon Qi', which the main Nascent Soul directly clutched in its hand, like a small green snake that dared not struggle at all.

"Withered Glory Chant, nineteenth layer. . . finally perfected."

Fang Xi opened his eyes, a trace of joy flashing quickly within them.

His Nascent Soul stage cultivation had finally reached its end!

"This 'Heavenly Demon Qi' is indeed a spiritual elixir for increasing cultivation, provided one can subdue it. . ."

"Currently, I've only extracted a small portion, transforming it into immortal cultivation. There were still some losses, but it has brought my Nascent Soul to complete perfection. The remainder can fully serve as resources for breaking through to Soul Transformation. . . at least equivalent to half a portion of 'Soul Transformation Spirit Paste', right?"

Soul Transformation Spirit Paste!

This is rumored to be a spiritual elixir that can aid in breaking through to Soul Transformation!

Alas, it has not been seen in the Human World for ten thousand years.

Fang Xi felt that with this 'Heavenly Demon Qi', there would be absolutely no problem with the magical power bottleneck when breaking through a major realm.

"After achieving Nascent Soul Grand Perfection, my magical power has no further room for advancement. . ."

"In fact, I feel I could attempt to break through to Soul Transformation with a single thought! Of course. . . attempting it now would be a waste. . . the hope is too slim."

Fang Xi took out a jade bottle containing purified fifth-order Mysterious Turtle's Blood.

Seeing this, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face: "That old turtle is really a good person. . ."

He wondered if Gui Shan would spit out a mouthful of old blood if he heard that?

"Currently, the luck of the Qi Luck Gu hasn't been fully replenished, and the Seven Emotions Leaving Sadness Scripture is also just short of reaching second-layer perfection. I should focus on Body Cultivation first. . ."

The Myriad Demon Armor secret technique inherently comes with a certain body-tempering effect.

By now, Fang Xi felt his body was no inferior to those transformed Great Demons.

"If I gather all four sacred beasts, I'm afraid my physique would be comparable to a Soul Transformation Demon Venerable. . ."

Fang Xi felt a slight surge of excitement in his heart. His aura shifted, and a dark green demonic qi shot up into the sky.

Following that, he opened the jade bottle containing the fifth-order Mysterious Turtle's vital blood.

After absorbing the fifth-order Mysterious Turtle's vital blood, the Heavenly Phoenix Flood Dragon Armor changed again, its chest guard becoming more prominent. Fang Xi clenched his teeth, feeling his entire body undergo another round of marrow cleansing and tendon strengthening, then cast a Cleansing Art on himself.

Once he had fully refined the vital blood, he clenched his fist, experiencing the terrifying defensive power on his skin. He couldn't help but nod: "The current me is no longer merely able to catch spirit artifacts bare-handed, but can shatter them bare-handed. . ."

The fifth-order Mysterious Turtle's Blood brought an immense improvement to the Myriad Demon Armor.

After all, even the Five Elements Lin Clan might not be able to acquire the blood of Soul Transformation Demon Venerables from other royal races!

"More importantly, I actually have a target for the fourth type of Qilin True Blood. . . the Saint Fire Cult's Old Ancestor Huo from the Western Desert. . . I wonder if I can try on this return?"

He stood up, looking at the three-colored armor covering his body. As he moved, the phantom images of a dragon, a phoenix, and a Black Tortoise even appeared, moving with him, looking incredibly imposing.

Fang Xi had to admit, he was just a common man.

Although the defense of the incomplete 'Four Sacred Beast Armor' was already astonishing, the absence of the Qilin still left it somewhat imperfect, making his heart itch.

......

Kyushu World.

A stretch of wilderness.

Fang Xi's main body and his External Avatar stood side-by-side, gazing at a plump, white mass of Taisui in the field.

Not long ago, Fang Xi had fed the purified 'Black Taisui Inner Core' to the Taisui.

Afterward, the Taisui's demonic qi surged all the way, and now it was on the verge of breaking through the third-order limit.

In other words, it was about to undergo its fourth-order great tribulation!

"When the Taisui breaks through its realm, I wonder what phenomena will occur. . ."

Fang Xi muttered.

Thinking about it carefully, this Taisui was actually quite extraordinary.

Although it was only discovered by the mortal Han Pang Zi back then and was incredibly weak, its ability to be endlessly butchered and grow infinitely represented something remarkable!

"The Demonic Tree was affected by the power of a Dao Fruit. . . I wonder if the Taisui might also be in a similar situation?"

In Fang Xi's mind, the scene of the Progenitor Demonic Tree undergoing its first lightning tribulation involuntarily emerged.

That was a terrifying scene, intolerable to heaven and earth. Only by dying once, and then having an enormous stroke of luck by being brought by him to the Southern Barrens of another world, did it finally manage to overcome the lightning tribulation.

As for this Taisui, who knew what kind of tribulation it would face?

Rumble!

When the Taisui's demonic qi broke through to the fourth-order, clusters of thunderclouds gathered in the sky, alarming for a hundred li.

This was a standard Nascent Soul-level lightning tribulation!

Fang Xi, seeing this, secretly furrowed his brow: "It seems. . ."

Ever since he had advanced to Nascent Soul Perfection, his comprehension of the power of heaven and earth had grown increasingly profound.

Now, he always felt that the power of this lightning tribulation seemed a bit thinner?

Not to mention compared to the Progenitor Demonic Tree's tribulation, even compared to Xiao Qing and Da Qing, it was far inferior.

Crack!

Above the firmament, an extremely faint streak of green lightning, imbued with destructive power, suddenly struck the Taisui's demonic qi.

The Taisui trembled slightly. Its demonic qi actually blocked the first heavenly lightning strike directly.

Upon seeing this, Fang Xi couldn't help but complain: "This is the first time I've ever seen such a weak tribulation lightning!"

"Could it be because it's too 'salted fish' and laid flat. . . that even heaven is too lazy to strike it?"

Sizzle!

The second and third heavenly lightning strikes fell in quick succession.

Although their power had been greatly diminished, they were still not something the Taisui could withstand.

Soon, its protective demonic qi was shattered, forcing it to directly face the might of heavenly punishment!

The fourth lightning tribulation struck the Taisui's plump, tender white body, leaving a large patch of charred black marks.

But swiftly, that charred mass peeled off, revealing a perfectly intact piece of flesh beneath.

"After all, the Taisui is cut up every day, it's already used to it. . ."

"This level of self-healing and regeneration is probably already superior to the innate ability of an 'Indestructible Body'. . ."

The innate talent of the Indestructible Body can only be widely mastered by the Mysterious Turtle clan.

But the Black Taisui was capable of mastering the divine ability of 'Myriad Incarnations', which even that fifth-order turtle demon had not fully achieved!

From this, the disparity could be seen.

Crackle! Crackle!

One lightning bolt after another descended, each one nearly striking the Taisui half-dead.

But the Taisui rapidly regenerated, its aura seemingly not fluctuating much at all.

Finally!

The final tribulation lightning, green with flecks of gold, smashed down!

Countless bodies of the Taisui were directly vaporized, melting away within the lightning's glow. . .

In the end, only a fist-sized chunk of flesh remained, yet its aura had steadily reached the fourth-order level.

Fang Xi speechless picked up the chunk of flesh, knowing that as long as he continued to feed it spirit rice, the Taisui would soon grow back again. . .
