Chapter 570: Breakthrough to Divine Transformation (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Time flowed on, unhurried.
Maple Leaf Island.
The Ruan family's Grand Elder, Ruan Zhanjun, was meditating and practicing Qi Refinement in his secret chamber.
His aura was perfectly complete and without blemish; he had clearly condensed a Golden Core, entering the ranks of mid-to-high stage cultivators.
With a sweep of his Divine Consciousness, everything on Maple Leaf Island was clearly visible.
Fang Xi couldn't be bothered to speak with this fellow, with whom all ties had long been severed. He simply strolled about Maple Leaf Island at his leisure.
With his current cultivation, if he wished to conceal himself, even walking past Ruan Zhanjun, this Core Formation grand expert would remain completely oblivious.
After circling the island, Fang Xi went to Dragon Fish Island, where he saw Hai Da Niu, looking even older now.
Now, the Hai family had branched out and flourished on Dragon Fish Island, with many clansmen choosing the Spirit Farmer legacy, diligently researching it, showing a strong trend toward expanding this lineage. . .
Fang Xi also did not disturb them. He then went to Spirit Sky Island, where he stood silently before the Yan family's ancestral graves for a long time before sighing and leaving with a sense of melancholy.
His last stop was Peach Blossom Island.
No matter what, that was where he had started, and many acquaintances were buried there.
After offering respects one by one, Fang Xi silently returned to Emerald Cliff.
Other than himself, not even Ling Shu knew he had left.
"The path to longevity. . . old friends wither. . ."
Silently savoring this state of mind, Fang Xi summoned Zhong Hong Yu, Ling Shu, and Liu Xu. "In a while, I will completely seal off Emerald Cliff. . . isolating it from the outside. The Evergreen Hall will become forbidden ground; any who dare trespass will be killed without mercy!"
"Yes!"
Ling Shu responded with solemn reverence, a thought suddenly rising in her heart: "Could it be. . ."
Her gaze, fixed on Fang Xi, held a myriad of inexpressible emotions: shock, envy, admiration. She then bowed deeply: "May the Island Master succeed!"
Rumble!
Emerald Cliff trembled as a gigantic Demonic Tree unfurled across the sky, its myriad aerial roots dangling down.
Vast amounts of black mist diffused outward, enveloping the entire island in layers, like a colossal, inky, chaotic egg.
—The Nine-Nethers Profound Wood Grand Array!
In the profound darkness, streaks of starlight scattered, and three hundred sixty-five Star Towers operated along specific trajectories, radiating an inexplicable deterrence.
—The Zhou Tian Star Array!
With these two grand arrays at his command, Fang Xi was confident that even if Old Ancestor Huo entered the formation, he could make them perish on the spot!
He walked a circuit around the Evergreen Hall, then suddenly raised a hand and beckoned.
His External Avatar emerged, clutching a silver-white eight-legged spider.
"Fortune Gu!"
Fang Xi's eyes lit up. He took the Gu worm in his hand and examined it carefully.
The Gu's abdomen was fat and swollen, clearly brimming with fortune, perhaps with the lion's share still belonging to Old Ancestor Huo's fortune.
"In the Red Sun Realm, I am already a top-tier Dao Ancestor, and with so many wicked Core Formation cultivators. . . alas, this fortune still isn't as great as a single Divine Transformation cultivator."
"Divine Transformation, Divine Transformation!"
Fang Xi's eyes were filled with fervent heat.
The Divine Transformation realm!
This was the pinnacle of cultivation in the three thousand minor worlds beneath the Earthly Immortal World!
Taking this step, even in the Earthly Immortal World, would make him a significant figure.
He formed a hand seal, and his main Nascent Soul appeared, beginning another round of assimilation with his External Avatar.
Immediately, he instructed: "While I am in seclusion for my breakthrough, you shall guard me here!"
As for Little Green and Big Green? It's better for them to stay in the Mountain Sea Pearl and not cause trouble.
After all, in the Southern Desolate Cultivation World, with Fang Xi's arrangements, he was virtually invincible.
...
Inside the cultivation abode.
Fang Xi burned incense, bathed, and sat cross-legged in silent meditation.
He sat like this for seven days and seven nights.
On this day, as he meditated in quietude, he suddenly comprehended a profound mystery and took out the 'Fortune Gu'.
A spell seal landed on the Gu worm.
The eight-legged spider-like 'Fortune Gu' immediately shriveled in its abdomen, and an inexplicable aura was fed back, blessing Fang Xi.
Fang Xi felt his body lighten, then smiled faintly and put away the 'Fortune Gu'.
This Gu worm was of the fifth-tier; at most, it could only aid in breaking through to Divine Transformation. This meant. . . if it weren't raised to the sixth-tier, then even collecting fortune for blessing would be useless for breaking through the Return to Void bottleneck.
'Fortunately, being able to increase my chances a little is already good. '
Fang Xi closed his eyes in meditation, the Divine Transformation mantra he had obtained from Old Ghost appearing word by word in his mind.
He had already studied this mantra for many years and even simulated it in the Kyushu World using virtual dantian and other methods, confirming there were no issues.
With this thought, he finally stopped hesitating, forming a strange hand seal with both hands.
Within his Dantian Qi Sea, his three-inch-tall main Nascent Soul grinningly touched the 'All-Heavens Precious Mirror' in its hand. The last remaining trace of 'Heavenly Demon Qi' was drawn into the mirror, then transformed by the 'Three-Phase Annihilation Art' into a supremely pure Immortal Origin Qi, which the main Nascent Soul opened its small mouth to inhale.
In the next instant, on the main Nascent Soul's body, white, worm-like things rapidly appeared, wriggling through its limbs, bones, and meridians!
Fang Xi's expression twisted for a moment.
Fortunately, his formidable physical body could fully withstand the pain of this spiritual energy infusion.
He forcibly circulated the 'Withered Glory Chant's' breakthrough incantation, using a vast amount of Withered Glory Chant Dharma power, entwining it with rich and pure spiritual energy, circulating it repeatedly within his body.At the same time, his Divine Consciousness spread out boundlessly, stirring the spiritual energy between heaven and earth!
...
Ling Shu was sitting cross-legged in meditation within her cultivation abode when she suddenly perceived a terrifying spiritual pressure coming from the direction of the Evergreen Hall.
"Indeed. . ."
She sighed softly, transforming into a streak of escape light and rising into mid-air.
Not long after, Zhong Hong Yu and Liu Xu also arrived, one after another, their faces showing a touch of confusion: "Young Master, this is. . ."
"If my predictions are correct, the Island Master must be breaking through the Divine Transformation bottleneck!"
Ling Shu said with a solemn expression: "If the Island Master succeeds in his breakthrough, he will become the first Divine Transformation cultivator in the Southern Desolate Cultivation World in a thousand years!"
"Divine Transformation? !"
Zhong Hong Yu couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
With her aptitude, even if she managed to form a Nascent Soul, breaking through to Divine Transformation would be absolutely impossible.
In contrast, Liu Xu's eyes were filled with worship, and a flicker of excited flame.
This was the pinnacle of cultivation in the Human World!
As long as one stepped into Divine Transformation, there was hope of ascending to the Earthly Immortal World!
Just as the three of them were lost in their various thoughts, the heavens and earth suddenly trembled.
Countless multi-colored light particles emerged from the void, from the radiance of the sun, moon, and stars, and from the mountains and earth. . . these were materialized spiritual energies of heaven and earth, each belonging to one of the Five Elements. Rolling five-colored light surged like tides, even draining the spiritual energy from a thousand-li radius, its momentum so vast that it was truly horrifying!
"Core Formation heavenly phenomena extend at most a few tens of li. . . Nascent Soul heavenly phenomena shake a hundred li. . ."
Ling Shu murmured: "This Divine Transformation heavenly phenomenon actually affects a thousand li. . . such terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations are truly rare in the world."
Swish! Swish!
White, red, yellow, black, green. . .
The multi-colored auroras, like streaks of rainbow, converged above Emerald Cliff, forming a lake of five-colored aurora that reflected everything in exquisite beauty.
But cultivators like Zhong Hong Yu didn't even dare to breathe heavily.
They naturally knew that if this five-colored aurora lake, seemingly a natural wonder, could not maintain its stability, it would bring ruinous disaster upon Emerald Cliff!
"He has already preliminarily attracted the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, forming the Divine Transformation heavenly phenomenon. . ."
Ling Shu murmured: "As long as he further draws the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body, he can complete the breakthrough and become an early-stage Divine Transformation cultivator."
These secrets of advancement were something she had read from an ancient book left by her master, originally thinking she would never witness them in her lifetime, yet today she was seeing it firsthand!
The five-colored aurora lake settled above the Evergreen Hall, yet seemed to be blocked by an invisible force, unable to descend.
Upon seeing this scene, a cold snort suddenly emanated from within the Evergreen Hall.
Subsequently. . .
The firmament rumbled, three hundred sixty-five 'Star Towers' emitted profound light, countless beams reassembled and arranged. . . forming a 'Myriad Heavens Ten Lands Sun, Moon, Five Stars Demon-Slaying Divine Light', which descended with a roar!
This time, this 'Myriad Heavens Ten Lands Sun, Moon, Five Stars Demon-Slaying Divine Light' did not carry destructive power; instead, it 'pushed' at a crucial point.
Splash!
As if shattering an invisible barrier, the five-colored aurora lake tilted downward, and streaks of aurora plunged into the Evergreen Hall.
Boom!
The colossal five-colored aurora lake continuously condensed, completely merging into the Evergreen Hall.
All auras instantly fell into a deathly silence.
And in the very next moment, a pressure far surpassing that of Nascent Soul cultivators emerged, spreading outward boundlessly!
Zhong Hong Yu and Liu Xu, the two Core Formation cultivators, turned pale, unable to maintain their Dharma power, and could only descend to the ground, their faces filled with pleasant surprise: "Young Master. . . succeeded? !"
...
Inside the seclusion chamber.
Fang Xi sat cross-legged, his Nascent Soul frolicking above his glabella.
The Nascent Soul, now a few points more mature in appearance, slightly raised a hand, and a streak of fire-element divine light converged between heaven and earth.
Subsequently, the fire-element divine light transformed into a verdant 'wood-element divine light', and even actively merged into the 'Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light', the two becoming one, as if formed by nature itself.
"A Divine Transformation cultivator, directly manipulating the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. . . so this is what it feels like?"
The main Nascent Soul murmured, then suddenly pointed a small hand.
A censer placed before Fang Xi immediately lit up, and wisps of green smoke ascended.
The incense carried a scent of sandalwood, and faintly, Buddhist chants could be heard.
On Fang Xi's body, golden swastika symbols even appeared, one after another.
After completing all this, the main Nascent Soul nodded with satisfaction, transforming into a blue light particle and burrowing into Fang Xi's body through his glabella.
After officially breaking through the Divine Transformation bottleneck, one would immediately face the Three Great Tribulations!
If one failed to overcome them, it would mean death and spiritual annihilation, with no room for recovery!
Among the various tribulations, the fastest was naturally the Inner Demon Tribulation!
Fang Xi's Sea of Consciousness felt muddled for a moment, having fallen into an illusion.
...
Above the firmament, the 'Sun's True Fire Shield' and the 'Zhou Tian Star Array' rumbled, streaks of light descending.
The External Avatar's face was distorted with ferocity: "There can only be one Fang Xi in the cultivation world, and that is me. . . Main body, go to hell!"
Fang Xi was startled upon seeing this scene.
But vaguely, he felt something was off.
He had undergone 'red dust tempering', his Divine Consciousness was powerful, and his 'Seven Emotions Lamentation Scroll' had experienced many joys and sorrows, giving him a certain resistance to this.
