Chapter 646: Long Qingzi (For Alliance Leader Cheng Gui He Chu)
Fang Xi's expression was vacant.
Within his Sea of Consciousness, a green Nascent Soul floated into existence.
Around him, phantom forms materialized, transforming into the appearance of the young Earth Immortal, who still held that broken green sword in his hand.
Fang Xi's main Nascent Soul also appeared within the Sea of Consciousness, clad in four-colored armor, with treasures like the Nine-Blaze Seal, Black Water Shield, Soul Suppressing Pagoda, and Green Reaping Sword suspended around it, and clutching an ancient bronze mirror in its arms.
Upon seeing the green Nascent Soul, far larger than itself, charge, it immediately, without hesitation, threw out the ancient bronze mirror it held.
"As expected, he possesses a supreme treasure for Divine Consciousness defense. . ."
The young Earth Immortal was unconcerned, and with a flick of the broken green sword in his hand!
Possessing a Void Amalgamation-level Divine Soul, coupled with this broken Immortal Abode Rare Treasure flying sword, he was certain he could successfully seize this person's body!
Unless. . .
That ancient bronze mirror instantly grew to an immense size, light converging upon its surface, and it emanated a terrifying spiritual pressure!
The Immortal Abode Rare Treasure flying sword in the young Earth Immortal's hand actually began to tremble slightly!
"Impossible!"
The young Earth Immortal's eyes widened; he suddenly gripped the sword with both hands and sprayed a mouthful of Nascent Soul vital energy onto the broken green sword, hoping to cleave a path to survival.
But the next instant, the ancient bronze mirror descended, virtually eclipsing the sky.
Clang!
A sound of something shattering came from within the Sea of Consciousness.
Fang Xi felt his head spin slightly, and then terrifying memories surged forth. Fortunately, suppressed by the 'All-Heavens Precious Mirror', these were merely pure memories, not imprinted with a soul mark. Otherwise, Fang Xi feared he would be influenced by them, his personality drastically altered, becoming a completely different person.
While rubbing his temples and feeling his dizzy head, he quickly memorized the information and content he desired:
First and foremost, naturally, were the complete cultivation method of the 'Withered Glory Chant', and then there was the cultivation method for the great divine ability, 'Supreme Pole Star Life-Ending Divine Light'. . .
Next were this person's origins, and why he descended to the lower realm. . .
...
Above the Kyushu Mechanized City.
"That's. . ."
Xiao Qing watched the Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm in horror, actually seeing that 'Chun Qiu Tree' collapse with a crash, its branches, leaves, and roots withering in an instant, and the Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm shattering with a rumble. . .
Just then, the External Avatar said coldly, "The Earth Immortal is dead. You may go search for your opportunities. . ."
After all, cultivators were a group of all-purpose mercenaries.
Summon them to fight to the death, and you must give them sufficient benefits, otherwise, they'll turn on you in a flash.
Hearing this, the Ancestor of the Bai family immediately transformed into a streak of escape light, darting towards the Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm.
However, ahead of him, Xiao Qing transformed into a Green Fire Luan, her Wind-Fire Escape Art combined with void power, making her incredibly swift.
Immediately after, Ghost Axe Venerable and Tumo Venerable, two Divine Transformation cultivators, also connected their escape lights, directly surpassing him. . .
The External Avatar stood silently, allowing this group of cultivators, like locusts, to rush into the constantly collapsing Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm and plunder it freely. . .
However, he was indifferent.
Because he knew that within the Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm, the most important item had long since been taken by his main body.
Aside from that, it was the dragon-like Immortal Source Qi, which was currently impossible to collect; as the Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm shattered, it continuously dissipated back into heaven and earth.
Human World, Central Domain.
Pitter-patter!
The originally parched and cracked land felt the fragrance of rain for the first time.
Like the wellspring of life, strands of rain continuously sprinkled upon the earth, causing a hint of green to appear on this land that had almost lost all vitality. . .
The Central Domain's recovery had begun. . .
...
Fang Xi felt as if he had dreamt a long dream.
In the dream, from the perspective of an observer, he experienced the entire life of a genius from the Earthly Immortal World.
He didn't know how much time had passed; he yawned and stretched awake.
His current location was naturally atop the Kyushu Mechanized City, with his External Avatar guarding him nearby.
Gazing at this External Avatar, his expression couldn't help but turn complex.
'The Second Primordial Spirit technique. . . the hidden dangers are truly significant. '
Fang Xi sat cross-legged, silently circulating his profound cultivation art. His Sea of Consciousness was crystal clear, and profound scriptures floated within it, revealing the complete 'Withered Glory Chant'!
Not only that, from the Divine Transformation chapters onwards, to the Return to Void chapters and Void Amalgamation chapters, even the Mahayana stage cultivation methods were all complete!
After a brief contemplation, he couldn't help but feel joy in his heart: "The Great Dao is within reach!"
In any case, his foundation was, after all, still the 'Withered Glory Chant'. If he were to break through to Return to Void using the 'Celestial Demon Extermination Manual', it would always feel somewhat off.
Now that he had obtained the true 'Withered Glory Chant' inheritance, he naturally had hope of becoming an immortal!
Even some extremely hidden maneuvers within the previous cultivation method, covert methods only discernible by Return to Void or Void Amalgamation cultivators, could now be undone one by one.
"After cultivating the 'Withered Glory Chant' to Divine Transformation Perfection, it turned out one still needed to refine four Five Elements spiritual items apart from the wood attribute, to achieve the unity of the Five Elements and break through to Return to Void. . ."
"This secret method of refining Five Elements spiritual items indeed surpassed many secret arts for breaking through to Return to Void, but it was still not as good as my 'Three Qi Unification' method. . ."
"In addition, if one could gather the materials to refine the 'Two Modes Void Breaking Pill', the probability of breaking through would increase by several points. . ."
After reading the complete 'Withered Glory Chant', Fang Xi now had a commanding view over his cultivation realm, and he would never take a wrong path again.
"Human Return to Void cultivators, their magical power had already upgraded to 'Immortal Source Qi'. . . With this magical power, they could easily leverage the Qi of Heaven and Earth. . . As for the Yao race, it was 'Heavenly Demon Qi', while Demon Race Return to Void cultivators cultivated 'True Demon Qi'!"
"Upon reaching the Mahayana stage, Mahayana Loose Immortals could use this 'Immortal Source Qi' to nurture their life-bound magical treasures, and after countless years of nurturing and expenditure of Immortal Jade, promote them to 'Semi-Immortal Artifacts'!"
The reason they were 'Semi-Immortal Artifacts' was because Immortal Source Qi was not true Immortal Qi. Even with the support of Immortal Jade, Mahayana cultivators were, in the end, not true Immortals.
"Immortal Jade contained true 'Immortal Qi', which was why cultivators above the Return to Void stage all greatly yearned for it. . . Whether used for cultivation or artifact refinement, it was an unparalleled treasure."
"The Mahayana stage had no divisions of early, middle, or late stages, because at this step, the Nascent Soul was already perfected, simply awaiting tribulation transcendence. . . Mahayana cultivators could be divided by the number of tribulations they had passed: One-Tribulation Mahayana, Two-Tribulation Mahayana. . . until all nine tribulations were transcended, one could completely transform their Nascent Soul into a Primordial Spirit, thereby ascending to the True Immortal World, and be known as a 'Primordial Spirit True Immortal'! This realm was called a 'Celestial Demon' among the Demon Race and a 'Heavenly Yao' among the Yao Race; they were effectively quite similar. . ."
Below the True Immortal realm, one would still be limited by lifespan!
This was the reason why many high-level cultivators in the Earthly Immortal World were single-mindedly eager to ascend to the True Immortal World!
"Longevity. . . ah. . . it's finally within reach."
Fang Xi muttered, "However, the so-called 'Primordial Spirit True Immortal' was merely a humble 'Human Immortal', something Long Qingzi disdained to pursue. . ."
Long Qingzi!
This was the name of the master of the Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm.
He was born in the Earthly Immortal World, and in his youth, he repeatedly encountered extraordinary opportunities. He entered the Dao overnight, even cultivating to an extremely profound realm.
Long Qingzi's greatest opportunity was accidentally entering an immortal abode, from which he obtained an 'Earth Immortal inheritance'!
Within this 'Earth Immortal inheritance', some information about the True Immortal World was described.
For instance, Immortals were divided into three grades: Heavenly Immortal, Earth Immortal, and Human Immortal. . .
Ordinary cultivators, from Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment upwards. . . upon reaching Mahayana and transcending nine tribulations to ascend, were merely the lowest grade of 'Human Immortal'!
Of course, Human Immortals were not necessarily bad; it was just that in terms of future breakthrough potential, they would be slightly inferior to Earth Immortals and Heavenly Immortals.
Long Qingzi also did not possess a Heavenly Immortal inheritance, but obtaining an 'Earth Immortal inheritance' was already an enormous opportunity!
Within this Earth Immortal inheritance, the most important things were the 'Withered Glory Chant', 'Longevity Art', as well as some methods for cultivating life-bound spirit plants and the incantations for the 'Supreme Pole Star Life-Ending Divine Light'.
He then converted to the Earth Immortal Way, and painstakingly found a 'Chun Qiu Tree', finally breaking through to the Void Amalgamation realm!
However, during one of his crucial secluded cultivations, the Second Primordial Spirit he had cultivated earlier suddenly rebelled!
At that time, Long Qingzi was at a critical juncture in cultivating the 'Withered Glory Chant', and the Second Primordial Spirit's actions almost caused him to suffer a Qi deviation. With no path to heaven or gate to earth, he had no choice but to risk descending to a lower realm, sustaining severe injuries as a result, and his cultivation fell back to the Return to Void level.
This was actually a good thing, as the Human World was simply unable to sustain Void Amalgamation mighty figures, and even Return to Void cultivators were a stretch.
But the 'Earth Immortal Way' indeed had its peculiarities; even a fragmented 'spiritual domain' could block the power of the world barriers, allowing Long Qingzi to linger on.
He therefore took disciples in the Human World, establishing the lineage of Green Emperor Mountain, and was revered as the founding patriarch.
After such a long time passed, what Long Qingzi hadn't expected was that his Second Primordial Spirit had inherited the title 'Long Qingzi' in the Earthly Immortal World, its cultivation progressing by leaps and bounds, even breaking through to the late Void Amalgamation realm, and even becoming one of the 'Human Race Five Sons', a truly great figure!
The Second Primordial Spirit, sensing that Long Qingzi was not dead, repeatedly issued decrees, and even sent Return to Void cultivators to descend to the lower realm, to battle Long Qingzi. . .
After several such encounters, the Human World almost collapsed, and Long Qingzi was severely injured as a result. Only with great difficulty did he manage to eliminate his enemies' pawns. After long and arduous deliberation, he could only resort to using the power of the Earth Immortal Way to seal off the Human World, severing its connection to the heavens, and gather the spiritual energy of the Human World, hoping to slowly recuperate and recover within the 'Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm'. . .
At the same time, he also made some arrangements and contingency plans, searching for a suitable target to seize.
This person's standards were extremely high; one had to cultivate the 'Eternal Evergreen Body' at the very least for him to even spare a second glance.
It was precisely because of this point earlier that he harbored reservations during their battle, allowing Fang Xi to hold on until the end, and successfully turn the tables!
But this person could never have imagined that with his Void Amalgamation-level Divine Soul and a broken Immortal Abode Rare Treasure sword, he would actually be defeated, and so utterly defeated at that!
Originally, according to Long Qingzi's estimation, with his strength, even seizing the body of a Void Amalgamation cultivator had a high probability of success!
"I always feel that even without using the 'Qi Luck Gu', I know this person's fortune; it truly is. . . declining!"
