Chapter 609: Main Body's Ascension (Seeking Subscription)
Fang Xi did not stint on his spiritual power, flying swiftly along.
As a Soul Transformation cultivator, he could easily draw upon the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth to replenish himself, and his spiritual power recovered extremely quickly, so he had no fear of consumption.
And when casting spells in the Earthly Immortal World, there was no need to worry about the problem of spiritual energy backlash.
His streak of light was as swift as lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he escaped the Xuanming Rain Cloud.
That giant Kun was leisurely swimming, enjoying the worship of ten thousand fish, and had no intention of targeting him.
Seeing this, Fang Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, yet his fleeing light did not slow in the slightest as he flew towards Kungsang Market.
He had originally planned to return to the market city to rest for a period, and now that he had encountered such a matter, he needed to slow down even more.
He immediately decided to rest for a few years first.
"It's better to stick to the old method, just acquire spiritual materials, and perhaps even in larger quantities. . ."
Sangqing Peak.
A wood puppet abruptly materialized, appearing as if it had mastered the wood escape art.
It emerged from a spirit wood and handed a letter to Fang Xi.
Fang Xi took it and casually opened it.
This was a letter he had received at another low-grade immortal cave he rented in Kungsang Market under his 'Fang Yuan' identity.
Hmm. . .
He had always maintained the persona of 'Fang Yuan', occasionally corresponding with the Li family of Feiri City.
By now, Fang Yuan had actually successfully formed a Core, becoming a Core Formation cultivator!
As the two locations were truly too far apart, and the Li family had no talented individuals, not even a Core Formation cultivator, they simply couldn't travel all this way to verify it.
Moreover, even if they did try to verify, Fang Xi could disguise himself flawlessly.
Setting up an additional identity wasn't for any particular reason, just a precaution, as it didn't require much effort anyway. . .
He opened the letter and found that the Li family had no important content, merely congratulating him on forming his Core, their tone humble yet fawning.
After casually burning the letter, Fang Xi flicked out a sound transmission talisman.
Half an hour later, a streak of light discreetly flew into Sangqing Peak; it was Zuo Xiaoxuan.
"Senior called for me, may I know what important matter it is?"
Zuo Xiaoxuan's voice was clear and cool.
"Starting today, the acquisition will be unlimited in quantity!"
Fang Xi stated his decision calmly.
"As you command. . . " Although she didn't know why this 'Qing Hezi' had made such a decision, Zuo Xiaoxuan still complied solemnly.
"With your cultivation, acquiring a large amount of spiritual materials is indeed somewhat dangerous."
Black light flickered in Fang Xi's hand, and a pitch-black thunder orb appeared, landing in Zuo Xiaoxuan's palm: "This 'Demonic Yin Thunder' is bestowed upon you for self-defense. . . If you encounter any blind fools, you can unleash it to deter them. . . However, with your cultivation, if you truly unleash it, I fear you will perish together. Remember this well."
"Thank you, Senior."
Holding the thunder orb, which floated in mid-air, faintly shimmering with lightning and clearly extraordinary at a glance, Zuo Xiaoxuan's eyes brightened as she thanked him.
"Right, I will be readjusting the formation. Next time you come, be careful. . ."
Fang Xi instructed, then waved his hand, dismissing the woman.
...
After Zuo Xiaoxuan left, Fang Xi pondered for a moment, then went to the peak of Sangqing Peak.
Black light flickered on his left hand, and the 'Netherworld Banner' emerged. After being tempered in the Xuanming Abyss this time, the power of this formation treasure had risen another level.
"What a pity. . . my spiritual materials are limited. Otherwise, if I were to add materials like 'Yellow Spring Wood' and 'Netherworld Blood Crystal', this formation flag would no longer be a weakness. . . it might even be refined into an exotic treasure comparable to a 'Numinous Treasure'!"
"Currently, in terms of treasures. . . my main body can't even compare to me, except for the All-Heavens Precious Mirror. . ."
The power of the external avatar's 'Divine Infant Sword' had increased even further, just a sliver away from being fifth-tier. As for the 'Netherworld Banner', once deployed, it had fifth-tier power, but holding it for combat was somewhat unwieldy.
Such a formation treasure, of course, needed to be fully deployed on a spirit vein to exert its full power.
Currently, in Fang Xi's hands, it was only comparable to a top-tier spiritual treasure.
But once deployed, combined with a fifth-tier spirit vein, it could barely exert fifth-tier power!
"Go!"
He sent spell formulas into the 'Netherworld Banner'. The banner whistled, its flagpole instantly growing dozens of feet long, implanting itself atop Sangqing Peak!
Whoosh!
Streaks of pitch-black water currents emerged, forming a great river, its color profound black, with countless sand and stones seemingly within it.
Ten Thousand Miles of Nine Serenities Netherworld River Sand!
Fang Xi had already set up arrangements near Sangqing Peak. At this moment, the Nine Serenities Netherworld River flowed along the river channels he had long since excavated, circling Sangqing Peak and enclosing the entire mountain peak within its protection.
A restriction token appeared in his hand.
Within the originally deployed fourth-tier formation, formation plates rumbled, seemingly echoing the 'Netherworld Banner', forming the complete 'Nine Serene Sand River Grand Array'!
Outside Sangqing Peak, the original green mist gradually took on a layer of pitch-black color, and the sound of flowing water faintly emanated.
Unbeknownst to anyone, Sangqing Peak's mountain-protecting grand array had been upgraded from fourth-tier to fifth-tier!
This was a terrifying defense that could even withstand an attack from the Wang Family Ancestor for a time!
One could say that, apart from the Dragon Taming Sect, Fang Xi no longer needed to particularly fear anyone in this region. . .
...
Human World.
Demon Tree Ridge.
The leaves of the Demonic Tree of Primordial Beginning rustled, its size continuously shrinking. It had actually employed the divine ability of size manipulation, transforming into an exquisite potted plant that flew into the Mountain Sea Pearl immortal cave.
At this moment, Horned Dragon and Green Fire Luan inside the immortal cave were also released by Fang Xi.Only Taisui, due to its muddled consciousness and being a homebody, remained inside the Mountain Sea Pearl.
Even so, Fang Xi had no intention of letting it out of the Mountain Sea Pearl.
"I plan to travel for a bit. You two don't need to follow me; go with Hong Yu and guard this place for me."
Fang Xi looked at Horned Dragon and Green Fire Luan and instructed.
Horned Dragon was still fourth-tier low-grade, its cultivation only average.
Green Fire Luan, however, had been making rapid progress, and having refined fifth-tier Heavenly Phoenix essence blood, its future prospects were boundless, with a chance to assault the fifth-tier bottleneck.
Hearing this, Green Fire Luan, who had transformed into a little girl, looked on the verge of tears, clutching Fang Xi's clothes: "Master. . . Little Green wants to be with Master."
"Be good!"
Fang Xi patted Green Fire Luan's head, making the latter comfortably narrow her eyes: "When you advance to fifth-tier, then come and tell me these things. . ."
However, looking at the adorable, jade-like Green Fire Luan, whose forehead still had a peacock feather, Fang Xi wasn't overly strict and instead slipped her a 'True Blood Pill'.
He had previously seen a report that the Jiuzhou World had begun applying to simulate the Xuanming Heavy Water environment and artificially cultivate 'Dragon Salamanders'.
Although the Jiuzhou World's plan to artificially cultivate 'Dragon Salamanders' was still ongoing, even if successful, the fish fry would need hundreds of years to grow.
But overall, the progress was very good, so Fang Xi didn't need to be too stingy with the True Blood Pill.
Moreover. . . in the Earthly Immortal World, he was about to make his grand entrance. At that time, he could heavily encroach on the Wang Family's share and obtain even more True Blood Pills.
A single medicinal pill had limited benefit to him, so he didn't mind casually bestowing it.
"This medicinal pill has potent properties. . . but with your cultivation, you should be able to barely withstand it."
Fang Xi pointed out.
Next to them, Horned Dragon stared at the True Blood Pill, its eyes filled with longing.
"What? You want one too?"
Fang Xi looked at Horned Dragon, thoughtfully.
This 'True Blood Pill' was refined primarily from Dragon Salamanders, and Dragon Salamanders ultimately transform into flood dragons, so it should be more suitable for flood dragon-type demon beasts.
It was quite normal for Horned Dragon to be attracted to this pill.
"Master. . . I feel my bloodline cheering in my body. . ."
Horned Dragon, half-human and half-flood dragon, stammered, looking at the demon pill in Green Fire Luan's hand.
"Endure it!"
Fang Xi refused unceremoniously, transforming into a streak of green light and vanishing.
"What are you looking at?"
Green Fire Luan smugly put away the True Blood Pill and then glared at Horned Dragon: "What? Are you still coveting the True Blood Pill in my hand? Be careful, I might punch you!"
She waved her delicate little fists, looking seemingly harmless, but Horned Dragon unconsciously furrowed its brow: "If I get a beating, will I get a spirit pill then?"
"In your dreams!"
Green Fire Luan snorted, transformed into a massive Green Fire Luan, let out a clear phoenix cry, and instantly vanished. . .
...
Earthly Immortal World.
A silver light flashed.
Fang Xi's main body appeared on Sangqing Peak.
He formed hand seals, and the Mountain Sea Pearl flew out. The Demonic Tree of Primordial Beginning, like a potted plant, emerged, then continuously grew larger, its massive canopy overshadowing the sky and covering the sun, countless roots spreading in all directions. . .
Despite this, Fang Xi's immortal cave encompassed an area of a thousand li, and with the formation's concealment, no one could discover what he was doing.
"Indeed. . . the Earthly Immortal World is much more comfortable. . ."
Fang Xi glanced at his external avatar, then stretched languidly.
This feeling of his lifespan slowly increasing with every breath was truly quite pleasant.
According to his estimation, ordinary Soul Transformation cultivators in the Earthly Immortal World would experience a slow increase in lifespan until it doubled.
Of course, if they were to descend to a lower realm at that point, the rate of lifespan depletion would also sharply increase. Each action would drastically consume lifespan until their lifespan was reduced to around two thousand years, the lifespan of an ordinary human Soul Transformation cultivator in the lower realms, only then would the depletion rate slow down.
"Overall, one must remain in the Earthly Immortal World to maintain a long lifespan. . ."
"Gaining a lifespan increase by dipping in and then hiding in a lower realm is simply not realistic. . ."
"But for me, this increase of several thousand years of lifespan doesn't seem to have much impact. . ."
Fang Xi thought indifferently.
At this moment, he was more concerned with the changes in the Demonic Tree and the Profound Turtle Egg.
The advancement of these two was actually unrelated to spirit veins, but rather to the overall environment. To speak more profoundly, it concerned the realm laws!
According to Fang Xi's estimate, the Demonic Tree of Primordial Beginning's inability to advance and the Profound Turtle Egg's inability to hatch were highly likely due to the same issue.
That is, the power of the lower plane was weak and might not be able to support the growth and reproduction of some heaven-defying creatures.
Therefore, even though the Human World had a fifth-tier spirit vein, and Soul Transformation demon venerables and a large number of demon beast corpses, the Demonic Tree of Primordial Beginning still couldn't advance, leading to Fang Xi's 'Eternal Evergreen Body' progress being continuously delayed.
But in the Earthly Immortal World, it was different!
Fang Xi could clearly sense the joyous leaping of the Demonic Tree of Primordial Beginning, a sense of liberation and freedom, like being "long in the cage, returned to nature". . .
