Chapter 599: Dragon Taming Sect (Bonus Chapter, Please Subscribe)

A moment ago.

At the Black Water Pavilion in Kungsang Market.

"Fellow Daoist, I have fully understood your intentions. . ."

Steward Liu smiled as he drank spirit tea: "This Nine-Flower Treasure Tea is the newest shipment from our sect. Fellow Daoist, please try it and tell me how it tastes?"

"Sigh, I am truly in urgent need of a large amount of Profound Nether Crystal right now. The price is negotiable. . . If Fellow Daoist helps with this, there will surely be a generous reward in the future."

Fang Xi picked up his teacup and took a sip of the spirit tea.

Just then, he saw Meng Zhuzi walk in. Upon seeing Senior 'Qing Hezi' here, his heart couldn't help but feel a slight shock.

"Isn't this Young Friend Meng? " Steward Liu smiled slightly: "Gracing the Black Water Pavilion with your presence today, what brings you here?"

"It seems Fellow Daoist has another big business deal. I will take my leave first."

Fang Xi cupped his hands in greeting and walked out of the Black Water Pavilion.

Suddenly, his expression changed drastically as he looked towards the direction outside the market.

In an instant, the heavens and earth changed color, and countless spiritual energies of heaven and earth were stirred.

Swish!

Behind him, Steward Liu also transformed into a streak of light, arriving in mid-air. Looking at the direction where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was stirred, he said in disbelief, "A Soul Transformation demon cultivator has made a move, and so close! I'm afraid some Fellow Daoist in the market has already fallen victim to their poisonous hand!"

A token appeared in Steward Liu's hand, and he immediately activated the Kungsang Market's mountain-protecting grand array at full power.

Countless green spiritual energies roared; faintly, a massive green mulberry tree could be seen soaring into the sky.

And the market's entrances and exits had naturally already been sealed.

"Everyone, rest assured," Steward Liu shouted loudly, "inside the market, protected by the formation, until our sect's Soul Transformation Ancestor provides support, there will be absolutely no problem."

Meng Zhuzi, however, looked at that direction, his face pale, as if he had thought of something.

"A Soul Transformation Demon Venerable actually made a move? !"

Fang Xi's eyes widened, his face filled with lingering fear.

In his heart, he smirked: 'What if it's an External Avatar? As long as the reason is strong enough. . . my true self will have to be my scapegoat! '

The one who made a move outside was, naturally, his true self who came to assist by uprooting the tree.

Moreover, he specifically used the 'Three-Phase Annihilation Art,' transforming into a demon cultivator form.

As for himself, he deliberately chatted with Steward Liu here, creating an alibi.

Even if this matter was investigated to the very end, it would only be related to the Soul Transformation demon cultivator. What does it have to do with him, a human Nascent Soul cultivator?

Even if an unreasonable heavenly secret divination art was used, there was still the 'Fortune Gu' to ward it off.

He glanced at Meng Zhuzi, whose expression had changed drastically, and fell into thought. . .

...

Profound Nether Abyss.

Fang Xi removed the mask from the corpse, revealing the true face of this Nascent Soul cultivator from the Counter-Current Alliance.

"Wang Qiao? !"

"Could it be that the mastermind behind this matter is actually the Wang Family? Forget it. . . I'll know if it's true or false with one look."

His aura changed, transforming into a mighty Soul Transformation demon. He seized Wang Qiao's Nascent Soul and performed the soul-searching art.

Streams of demonic thoughts pierced into the tiny Nascent Soul's body, causing this Nascent Soul's eyes to roll back, and its form nearly dissipated.

A long while later, Fang Xi casually flicked a spark, turning both the demonic Nascent Soul and the corpse into ashes.

"It's time to leave, otherwise, it wouldn't be good to be caught by high-level patrolling cultivators. . . After all, within the Starry Sky Domain, there should also be grand arrays specifically designed to sense the auras of high-level demon and demon race cultivators. . ."

A silver light flashed, and Fang Xi vanished.

Human World.

At Demon Tree Ridge, Fang Xi sat cross-legged and suddenly smiled.

That trace of Soul Transformation divine consciousness must have placed some kind of mark on him. Killing Wang Qiao might also involve some method similar to 'Resentful Soul Guidance. '

But it doesn't matter. . . If they've got the guts, they can come down to the lower realms to catch him!

"This kind of positioning is not some formidable secret art. . . With a little research, it can be broken."

"As expected. . . is it the Wang Family Ancestor?"

Recalling what he had obtained from the soul-search just now, Fang Xi's face showed a thoughtful expression.

The Soul Transformation cultivator standing behind the 'Counter-Current Alliance' was actually that Wang Family Ancestor!

Of course, they were not the Perfected Nascent Soul as rumored by the outside world, but had secretly undergone tribulation outside at some unknown time, achieving the Soul Transformation realm!

'According to Wang Qiao's memory. . . the Counter-Current Alliance did not consist of just the Wang Family, but countless families and small sects dissatisfied with the Black Water Sect had secretly allied. . . '

'It's just that the Black Water Sect is not easy to deal with. . . '

Within the current Black Water Sect, that mid-stage Soul Transformation Grand Elder isn't dead yet!

However, the fact that he only had twenty years of lifespan left at most was not a lie, but true!

From Wang Qiao's Nascent Soul, Fang Xi also learned many secrets. Among them, what made him most apprehensive was that the 'Black Water Sect' still had a superior sect behind it.

"Dragon Taming Sect!"

Fang Xi murmured, uttering the name of this sect.

This 'Dragon Taming Sect' was no small matter. It was famous for its beast-taming arts, and specialized in cultivating various dragon-blooded spirit beasts.

Most crucially, the sect harbored an old Return to Void dragon!

Return to Void cultivators could live up to ten thousand years at most, but it was hard to say for Return to Void dragons.

This old dragon was still the spirit beast of the Dragon Taming Sect's first generation Return to Void Sect Master. The founding Sect Master had specifically dissolved the contract before his demise, ordering the old dragon to guard the Dragon Taming Sect. Up until now, it had outlived countless generations of cultivators, truly being the Dragon Taming Sect's true Ancestor!

'The current generation of Dragon Taming Sect did not have Return to Void cultivators, but relying on the restrictions and Blood Soul Tokens passed down by their ancestors through generations, they could still barely command this old Return to Void dragon, making it a genuine Return to Void combat force! '

'The Dragon Taming Sect maintained the prestige of a Return to Void sect with this. The southeastern corner of the Starry Sky Domain, including the Profound Nether Abyss, Sunset Plain, Myriad Green Forest, White Bone Mountain. . . and a series of territories, theoretically all belonged to the Dragon Taming Sect's jurisdiction. These Soul Transformation sects within their territory had to offer tribute to the Dragon Taming Sect every so often. . . '

'However, the Black Water Sect was too strong, making the Dragon Taming Sect uneasy. After all, this sect only had one old Return to Void dragon, with no Return to Void cultivators sitting in command. . . Therefore, their attitude towards the Counter-Current Alliance seemed to be one of welcoming it? Sitting idly by as their subordinate Soul Transformation powers attacked and consumed each other. . . or even were annihilated? As long as the newcomers continued to offer tribute, there wouldn't be much of a problem? '

Fang Xi understood this very well, as it was ultimately still the law of the jungle among cultivators.

Unfortunately, the Dragon Taming Sect's strength was not enough, making it unable to expand externally, so it could only suppress the powerful sects within its territory.

The Black Water Sect had three Soul Transformation cultivators, and one mid-stage Soul Transformation cultivator, naturally putting them among the targets for suppression.

Fang Xi finally had a slight grasp of the origins of this great chaos.

'It's just a pity. . . without Soul Transformation strength, one cannot extract chestnuts from the fire. '

'Could it be. . . that I should let my External Avatar seize the opportunity to break through? '

'How should I fake this Soul Transformation heavenly tribulation? '

Fang Xi touched the 'Mountain Sea Pearl' in his embrace and fell into thought.

Perhaps, it was time for his main body to ascend as well?

Anyway, he could always come back anytime.

'No, I'll wait a bit longer, observe some more, and prioritize stability above all else. . . Wang Qiao's memory may not be entirely accurate or reliable. . . '

'If I miss this opportunity, then I miss it. There will be plenty more opportunities in the future anyway. . . My lifespan is longer than that of human Return to Void cultivators, so I refuse to believe I won't wait for the right moment to appear! '

'It's just that those two treasures are indeed quite tempting. . . '

Fang Xi sighed slightly in his heart.

In Wang Qiao's memory, he also found two rather important pieces of information, both concerning the Profound Nether Abyss.

The Profound Nether Abyss was vast and boundless. The Wang Family had cultivated here for generations, countless people had died, but they had also explored and mapped a portion of it.

Moreover, they also knew many secrets!

"That 'True Armor Whale' was incredibly formidable, and after long years of continuously devouring various spiritual items within the Profound Nether Abyss, it would gradually form a piece of 'Dragon Saliva Spirit Incense' within its body. . . This incense had the miraculous effect of dispelling inner demons, even better than 'Brahma Gold Incense'."

"If I could get my hands on it, it would be enough to somewhat assist against the inner demon tribulation when breaking through to Return to Void. . ."

"Besides that, the Black Water Sect heavily plundered spiritual items from the Profound Nether Abyss through rogue cultivators. In reality, most of it was offered as tribute to the Dragon Taming Sect. . . And the tribute was the 'True Blood Pill'!"

"This 'True Blood Pill' used the flesh and blood of at least a five-hundred-year-old 'Dragon Salamander' as its main ingredient, refined with several spiritual items unique to the Profound Nether Abyss. It seemed to be greatly beneficial for the cultivation of both Soul Transformation and Return to Void. . ."

"Unfortunately, the Wang Family did not possess the pill formula for this 'True Blood Pill'. . ."

"If I could acquire one pill, with my attainments in alchemy, and even the capabilities of the Kyushu World, it might not be impossible to reverse-engineer the pill formula. . ."

Just as Fang Xi was daydreaming, within a hundred miles, spiritual energy gathered, and the winds and clouds changed color.

"This is. . . a Nascent Soul condensation Heavenly Phenomenon? !"

He looked towards a certain cave dwelling and nodded silently.

Inside the cave dwelling, Zhong Hong Yu, clad in red, sat cross-legged. Above the crown of her head, a pale, tender, and slender Nascent Soul was curiously surveying its surroundings.

With the help of numerous pills and secret arts, she finally succeeded in condensing her Nascent Soul this time, becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator!

As for the subsequent lightning tribulation, it was simply nothing.

After all, Fang Xi could casually bestow several spirit treasures. A mere Nascent Soul lightning tribulation, as long as one didn't mind the loss of spirit treasures and expended a few more, it would pass.

Zhong Hong Yu wasn't a Demonic Tree, so she wouldn't be targeted specifically.

This Nascent Soul was somewhat different from ordinary Nascent Souls. Zhong Hong Yu gave it a try, and the tiny Nascent Soul's hands formed a series of incantation gestures.

A silver light flashed, and she instantly teleported, appearing in a corner of the secret chamber.

"Indeed. . . after a Void Spiritual Root condenses a Nascent Soul, its sensitivity and grasp of void power are absolutely incomparable to ordinary spiritual roots."

Fang Xi's faint voice drifted over.

"Young Master? !"

Zhong Hong Yu's Nascent Soul returned to her body, and she quickly bowed.

"Alright," Fang Xi said, "you go and pass your lightning tribulation first. . ."

Fang Xi watched Zhong Hong Yu deploy several spirit treasures, blocking wave after wave of heavenly lightning, and couldn't help but nod.

At this moment, Zhong Hong Yu was cultivating a cultivation method perfectly suited to her Void Spiritual Root, and having condensed her Nascent Soul, she could be considered marginally useful.

At the very least, with her spiritual root, she should be able to get started by learning some Phoenix Seal Script.

"Could it be. . . that in the future, she could be trained in the direction of a Void Talisman Master?"

Fang Xi mused that he was currently specializing in 'Dragon Script,' and had become a bit lax regarding 'Phoenix Seal Script. '

It was just a pity that the 'Golden Cicada Exuviae' were too scarce and rare. He still had two sheets left that he was reluctant to turn into talisman paper at once.

Now, the 'Golden Cicada Talisman Paper' was almost depleted, and he only had a few sheets of 'Final Radiance Secret Talismans' left in his possession.

"In the Earthly Immortal World, there should be quite a few spiritual items involving the power of time, suitable for use as talisman paper, but I can't access them yet. . ."

"Sigh. . . when will the demon race have another Realm Descent? This time, I must invade the Monster World, and capture a few more Golden Cicadas for breeding!"
