Chapter 683: Myriad Worlds Open (Congratulations to Alliance Leader San Lingjun for his wisdom and bravery)
"Whoosh!"
Just as the Fifth Generation Green Reaping Sword was about to fully materialize, with even its dark green runes on the verge of spreading out, Fang Xi intentionally cut off the Immortal Source Qi, not fully activating it.
The Green Reaping Sword let out a mournful cry, its light instantly dimming.
"Indeed, with Immortal Source Qi, I can barely activate a remnant treasure of an Immortal Abode Rare Treasure."
A hint of joy appeared on Fang Xi's face: "Though it's extremely difficult. . . if this sword were truly unleashed, it would greatly deplete my vital blood and primordial qi. . . Er, for me, with the Eternal Evergreen Body, there's no need to worry about recovery."
As for the Flickering Radiance Secret Talisman, how much effect it could retain on a Return to Void cultivator was truly hard to say.
By this point, he had confirmed that this Fifth Generation Green Reaping Sword could serve as his trump card!
"A remnant sword from an Immortal Abode Rare Treasure should at least be on the same level as the Sword Pavilion's heritage treasure. . ."
An ancient, unadorned bronze treasured mirror appeared in his palm.
"All-Heavens Precious Mirror!"
Gazing at the innate cheat that accompanied him, his expression turned incredibly solemn as wisps of Immortal Source Qi flowed into it.
"This. . ."
Suddenly, Fang Xi seemed to see countless Phoenix-seal script characters of various forms, densely packed like cosmic stars, forming a silvery-white 'river'. . .
"This is. . . the All-Heavens Precious Mirror's internal restrictions?"
"So what I comprehended before was just a tiny, superficial understanding of the Dao of Void. . . No, it wasn't even superficial!"
Fang Xi immediately became engrossed.
Time passed, he knew not how long, before he suddenly rubbed his temples and awoke.
"Hiss. . ."
At this moment, Fang Xi discovered in alarm that his original Divine Consciousness was almost entirely depleted, causing his expression to change drastically.
He quickly pulled out a pill, swallowed it, and after regulating his breath for a while, he felt the splitting headache greatly alleviate.
"I can't blame myself. Just now, it was almost as if the treasured mirror completely displayed the essence of the Great Dao of Void to me. . . Any cultivator would become engrossed."
Fang Xi sighed with emotion, while silently recalling the information he had just received.
His current comprehension in the path of void would likely surpass that of many Void Amalgamation cultivators. In the future, whether it was drawing void talismans, arranging teleportation arrays, or even employing some void divine abilities, it would all be incredibly easy, and their power could even be amplified.
Of course, more importantly, it was the new worlds unlocked by the All-Heavens Precious Mirror after this breakthrough to Return to Void!
"Before, a new world was only unlocked with each realm breakthrough. It was quite difficult to finally unlock the Earthly Immortal World upon reaching the Soul Transformation stage. . ."
"But now, it's. . ."
Fang Xi's spiritual sense perceived the All-Heavens Precious Mirror, and he 'saw' countless minor worlds beneath the Earthly Immortal World, as numerous as grains of sand!
At this moment, he had a feeling that as long as he wished, he could descend upon any minor world below the Earthly Immortal World.
Not just the Human World, Kyushu World, and Red Sun Realm. . .
But also the Monster World, Demon Realm, and some very peculiar worlds inhabited only by wild beasts—all could now be visited!
Furthermore, without paying any price!
"The All-Heavens Precious Mirror truly is a supreme treasure that defies realm rules. . . I am now at Return to Void, and the resources required to descend to lower realms would probably bankrupt ordinary Void Amalgamation cultivators, yet with the aid of this treasure, I need nothing at all. . ."
Fang Xi's eyes lit up.
He recalled the catalog of rare spiritual items his External Avatar had seen with Hua Yan.
Many of them were only produced in specific minor realms!
If they could be transported to the Earthly Immortal World, their value could skyrocket tens of thousands of times!
It was a business of endless profits!
Not only that, Fang Xi sensed carefully, even detecting many fragments of the 'All-Heavens Precious Mirror'.
'The All-Heavens Precious Mirror. . . is craving completeness? '
Fang Xi closed his eyes. After breaking through to Return to Void, he had refined the All-Heavens Precious Mirror more deeply, and their connection was now much tighter. He could sense which minor worlds contained fragments.
Moreover, several fragments had even fallen within the Earthly Immortal World!
'There are actually fragments in the Earthly Immortal World? I didn't sense them before, probably due to the immense distance? After all, the human domain of the Earthly Immortal World alone is larger than many minor worlds combined. . . '
'Furthermore, treasures of this rank, like the All-Heavens Precious Mirror fragments, are eighty percent likely to be in the hands of high-level cultivators, or hidden in sect secret vaults, or sealed. . . Layers of restrictions and great arrays severed the connection. Fortunately, my connection has deepened now, and I finally have a clue. . . '
Despite this, acquiring the fragments within the Earthly Immortal World would be difficult, as he knew by simply thinking about it.
Even though Fang Xi had already advanced to Return to Void, the Earthly Immortal World contained even Void Amalgamation and Mahayana cultivators!
Therefore, he decided to first deal with the fragments in the lower realms, incidentally searching for some opportunities.
With this thought, Fang Xi began to meditate, taking out the string of Buddhist prayer beads to slowly nourish his Divine Consciousness.
This string of prayer beads had no longer any use for enhancing Divine Consciousness for a Return to Void cultivator.
However, it still had a slight effect on restoring Divine Consciousness.
As Fang Xi lightly twirled his fingers, minor Buddhist divine abilities appeared, providing him with various comforts. . .
Several days later.
Fang Xi opened his eyes, a gentle golden light seemingly flashing within them.
He opened the gift box from Chi Songzi, discovering it contained not pills, but five pieces of Immortal Jade, which made him laugh wryly.
"I've become a bit greedy. . . After Return to Void, cultivation becomes even more difficult. . . Even in the Earthly Immortal World, pills suitable for Return to Void cultivators to increase their magic power are sky-high in price. . ."
"It's almost impossible to advance rapidly by relying on a large amount of resources now."
"Fortunately, I cultivate the Withered Glory Chant with the Eternal Evergreen Body. . . they complement each other perfectly, and my progress should be considered fast among other Return to Void cultivators."
"And. . . there's also the Earth Immortal Way!"
After breaking through to Return to Void, Fang Xi finally touched upon the threshold of cultivating the Earth Immortal Way!
However, he did not immediately start at this time.
"According to my insights and Long Qingzi's experience, cultivating the Earth Immortal Way in a lower realm, although it will suffer the world's suppression, also allows one to experience the feeling of resisting a realm's laws. . . which is more beneficial for future progress?"
"Once the Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm is established and the spiritual domain is formed, it's not like it can't be moved."
"On the contrary, the 'land' of an Earth Immortal is equivalent to a portable cave-heaven, which can be moved at will. . . For me, this would be even more flexible."
"Furthermore. . . the construction of the Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm is closely related to an Earth Immortal's cultivation."
"In other words, the growth of the Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm will feed back into the cultivator's cultivation, and even assist in breaking through realms!"
"As a practitioner of wood-attribute cultivation methods, actually, as long as one avoids contention and quietly focuses on cultivation and development, one can raise their cultivation. . . this is what it means to be an Earth Immortal!"
The benefits of this 'Earth Immortal Way' were still relatively ordinary at the Return to Void stage.
But upon reaching the Void Amalgamation stage, they would become quite terrifying.
After all, pills suitable for Void Amalgamation cultivators to increase their magic power and break through realms were no longer a matter of rarity in the Earthly Immortal World; many were extinct!
Most cultivators relied on their own aptitude and cultivation methods, then sought out a place with excellent spiritual qi for bitter cultivation, trading their long lifespans for cultivation.
The Earth Immortal Way was always a bit faster than theirs, and it had absolutely no hidden dangers of pill impurities.
After contemplating the matters of the Earth Immortal Way, Fang Xi opened his mouth.
A ray of green light flew out, transforming into the 'Hunyuan Heavenly Luo Umbrella'.
At this moment, the umbrella's surface was covered with numerous tiny holes, its edges still scorched black.
This was naturally the damage caused by the heavenly lightning strikes.
"When others use such a lightning-transforming treasure, they'll surely try their best to face the lightning themselves first, and only when they truly can't endure it anymore will they unleash the lightning-transforming treasure to block one or two crucial lightning bolts. . ."
"Unlike me, who doesn't cherish it at all and pulled it out not long after the lightning tribulation began. . ."
Fang Xi stretched out his palm and stroked the umbrella's surface.
Through communication with its artifact spirit, he knew that although the 'Hunyuan Heavenly Luo Umbrella' had sustained some damage this time, it was not too severe.
After all, compared to the Old Dragon's tribulation, it had become whole, and its artifact spirit was presiding over it from within.
As long as it was nourished with Immortal Source Qi for a period, the Hunyuan Heavenly Luo Umbrella's damage would naturally recover.
...
Several years later.
The lake-island cave-mansion rumbled open.
As Fang Xi stepped out of the cave-mansion, he saw a person kneeling on the ground, loudly proclaiming: "Congratulations, Ancestor, on breaking through to the Return to Void realm! From this day forth, our Wang Family also has a Return to Void cultivator!"
This person was none other than Wang Lingying!
Through the Little Mystic Turtle, Fang Xi knew that this person had been kneeling here for several years.
However, for cultivators, this was nothing.
He subtly spread out his Divine Consciousness and could sense countless more cultivators outside the lake-island than before, some kneeling perfectly straight. . .
In terms of commotion, it was far more sensational than when Wang Lingying broke through to Soul Transformation last time.
After all, he was a Return to Void grand-power; Soul Transformation simply couldn't compare.
"Rise!"
Fang Xi waved his hand, and a surge of heaven and earth primordial qi appeared, lifting Wang Lingying up.
Wang Lingying was greatly alarmed in his heart, and no longer had any doubt whatsoever.
He had also now clearly understood that the Ancestor's advancement to Return to Void was an absolutely monumental joyous event!
"Since this Ancestor has now broken through to Return to Void, the Wang Family can also reunite."
Fang Xi said lightly, taking out a white jade token: "Do you recognize this item?"
Wang Lingying immediately nodded: "This is a guest elder token from Moonlight Immortal City! Ancestor, you've become a guest elder of Moonlight Immortal City?"
"Exactly. Take this token, go to the Xuanming Abyss and gather the Wang Family clansmen. The forces along the way should give you face. Then, select those with outstanding aptitude and send them to Moonlight Immortal City to serve. . . As for the rest, establish the Wang Family right there in the Xuanming Abyss."
The journey from Xuanming Abyss to Moonlight Immortal City was actually fraught with danger; only Soul Transformation cultivators could traverse it.
However, with the prestige of a Moonlight Immortal City guest elder, everything became different.
The reason Fang Xi wanted to rebuild the Wang Family was also due to a lack of people under his command.
Furthermore, in the Xuanming Abyss, he still needed a large number of cannon fodder to explore the overseas immortal abode.
He didn't have much demand for rare treasures, exotic items, or heaven and earth spiritual medicines. . . as long as he could clearly figure out the formation diagram of that immortal abode's grand array, it would be worth more than the price.
"Your grandson obeys your command."
Wang Lingying raised both hands high, accepted the token, his expression extremely solemn.
This was the first task entrusted by the Ancestor, and it absolutely had to be done well!
"Oh? Right, how about Ma Xianzi's marriage?"
Fang Xi seemed to recall something and asked again.
Upon hearing this, Wang Lingying's expression couldn't help but become a little odd: "Reporting, Ancestor. . . On the day of Ma Xianzi's grand wedding, you just happened to break through and stole a lot of the limelight. . . After that, Ma Xianzi did proceed with Huang Muzi to complete their Daoist Companion ceremony, but then Huang Muzi returned to his own cave-mansion, and Ma Xianzi did not follow. . ."
Fang Xi slightly nodded, saying nothing.
As prominent figures in Moonlight Immortal City, it was impossible for two Soul Transformation cultivators to immediately renege on their marriage on the spot, slapping their own face and ruining the Ma Family's reputation in one go.
However, it was perfectly reasonable for some discord to arise afterward.
In any case, it wasn't his business; he simply treated it as entertainment. . .
