Chapter 722: Body Cultivation (Bonus Chapter, Please Subscribe)
For the various cultivation families, the status and lifespan of their Old Ancestors were absolute secrets, something ordinary clan members had no right to know.
However, Yu Shusheng was a Return to Void Grand Cultivator, a high-ranking member of the family.
He naturally had some understanding of this.
After Fang Xi learned of it, his expression couldn't help but turn strange: "He even dared to use that Void Amalgamation Old Ancestor to threaten me. Now, the question is whether I should exterminate the Yu family. . ."
When he had previously used the Supreme Pole Star Life-Ending Divine Light to eliminate Ji Laomo and Ning Laoyu, it had only cost him five hundred years of lifespan. . .
Evidently, the combined lifespans of those two did not exceed five thousand years, fitting the image of cultivators who came to open up new lands and seek adventure.
Although Void Amalgamation cultivators were a bit more troublesome, if they were within a thousand years of age, they could be eliminated with less than ten thousand years of lifespan. . .
"Eh, thinking about it this way, I can also accomplish a Return to Void felling a Void Amalgamation. Could it be that I also possess heaven-defying talent?"
"Now that one Return to Void cultivator from the Yu family has died, their Void Amalgamation Old Ancestor will surely come to investigate. . . I hope he doesn't find me and needlessly throws his life away. . . After all, these are high-end combat forces of the human race; one less if one dies. . ."
With his current lifespan of over fifty thousand years, he could disregard any Void Amalgamation cultivator whose lifespan limit was within five thousand years.
Fang Xi sighed, a look of profound pity gracing his face, feeling a sense of lament for his External Avatar.
As for his main body?
He spent most of his time overseeing the Human World, and the Wang Family Ancestor was merely an alias.
Even if all his secrets were completely exposed, he could still retreat into the Human World and outlast all his enemies. . .
"However, Yu Shusheng only suspected it was me. . . On his list of suspects, there were still more than ten Return to Void cultivators. . . He only had some certainty when fighting me, and even deliberately spoke to test me. . ."
"And with him dead, it becomes another unsolved case. . ."
Fang Xi pondered for a moment, feeling it would be better to leave these issues for his External Avatar to consider.
At this moment, the Yu Xu Rice was cooked, presented before him by Ning Laoyu and Ji Laomo, who knelt while holding the trays.
"Yu Xu Rice, eating it greatly nourishes blood and qi, and is beneficial for Body Cultivation."
"Coupled with the primordial desolate beast meat, and the nourishing ability of the 'Eternal Evergreen Body', my Body Cultivation conditions are actually too good; it would be a pity not to take advantage of them. . ."
Fang Xi had always been paying attention to Body Cultivation methods, but there were few that he found satisfactory.
After all, their effects were not as good as the body-tempering secret art that came with the 'Myriad Demon Armor', so what more was there to say?
Within the Celestial Brahma Army, however, a few Body Cultivation methods that could be exchanged for were quite exquisite. It was just that they leaned towards a Buddhist style, and some even had strict disciplinary requirements, which Fang Xi disliked.
After the Little Black Turtle ascended to the sixth tier, the 'Celestial Demon Extermination Manual' was completed, allowing cultivation all the way to breakthrough the Void Amalgamation stage, which was sufficient for Fang Xi's use.
Within the Return to Void chapter of the 'Celestial Demon Extermination Manual', Fang Xi had indeed taken a liking to a certain divine ability. Its Body Cultivation effect was quite good, and its name was — 'Heavenly Demon True Body'!
This divine ability was an advanced version of the 'Myriad Demon Armor'. Just its entry prerequisite alone required an extremely formidable physique.
Having cultivated the 'Myriad Demon Armor' all this time, Fang Xi just happened to meet this condition.
"The Yao race has always been known for their powerful physiques. This 'Heavenly Demon True Body' certainly boasts a great deal; it's said that at the sixth tier, one can cultivate a physique comparable to a seventh-tier demon beast!"
The incantation for cultivating the 'Heavenly Demon True Body' slowly emerged in Fang Xi's mind.
This section of techniques was naturally not the original version, but one he had modified, combining his own experience and insights with Taiyi's calculations and the collective wisdom of the Kyushu World. It should be more suitable for human cultivation.
After a full meal of Yu Xu Rice paired with primordial desolate beast meat, Fang Xi felt his blood and qi boiling within his body, boundless energy practically overflowing.
He immediately stood up, shed his green robe, revealing a body of flowing muscles. Every inch was perfectly sculpted, as if designed according to the golden ratio.
Furthermore, his skin was crystal clear like jade, without a trace of roughness.
At this moment, streaks of blood and qi power continuously erupted from his body, even forming crimson rings around him.
"Buddhas have halos behind their heads, symbolizing perfection. . ."
"Now my physique and blood qi also appear quite perfect. . ."
As Fang Xi circulated the 'Heavenly Demon True Body' secret art, his aura gradually became wild and ferocious. . .
"Originally, the 'Heavenly Demon True Body' also required absorbing demon beast essence blood to perform physical transformations. . ."
"But I combined theories from my previous life and the Kyushu World, establishing the concept that 'humans are the primates of all beings'. Therefore, the body most compatible with the 'Heavenly Demon True Body' is the human body!"
When cultivating the 'Heavenly Demon True Body', not a trace of demon beast anomaly appeared on Fang Xi's body; instead, his physique became even more slender and handsome. . .
Rumble rumble!
Time passed, though for how long, he didn't know. Fang Xi took a deep breath, then exhaled. . .
He inhaled, gathering clouds; he exhaled, creating rain. Between breaths, gusts of storms were produced within his Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm. . .
Whoosh whoosh!
Within his body, each bone was crystal clear like jade, adorned with faint golden seal script.
His blood was heavy like lead and mercury, yet it surged ceaselessly, roaring like great rivers.
Crack!
Fang Xi slightly clasped his five fingers, and the void let out a groaning wail, unable to bear the pressure.
He took out a Numinous Treasure, the White Bone Lock Heart Hammer. This was Ji Laomo's collection, basically useless to a Return to Void cultivator.
As his ten fingers continuously exerted force, the Numinous Treasure continuously wailed, and to his surprise, ten deep finger marks appeared on its main body.
Crackle!
Fang Xi exerted a little more force, and this Numinous Treasure cracked inch by inch, then exploded. . . completely ruined!
"A physique comparable to a Return to Void-level body cultivator! " His eyes lit up: "And this is just the beginning. . . This divine ability is indeed good; it will certainly be helpful for aiding breakthroughs to the Void Amalgamation realm."
Regardless of divine consciousness, spiritual power, or physique, the stronger each aspect of a cultivator, the more helpful it naturally is for breaking through major realms!
"With the Heavenly Demon True Body combined with the 'Myriad Demon Armor', I even want to try physically resisting a heavenly lightning tribulation. . ."
"However, being struck by lightning is not a pleasant experience. . ."
Fang Xi thought for a moment, sighed, put on his clothes, and entered his cave abode.
Within the cave abode, a dedicated talisman crafting room had also been set up.
In the antique and elegant study, a long table made of purple wood was placed in the center, emitting a scent that cleared the mind and calmed the spirit.
An incense burner also sat on the desk, burning a sixth-tier Buddhist spiritual incense within.
This kind of spiritual incense, when crafting talismans, could make the talisman master's thoughts more agile and less susceptible to outside disturbance, thereby slightly increasing the success rate.
Fang Xi came before the desk and unfurled a piece of high-grade hide paper, tanned from primordial desolate beast hide.
He thought for a moment, then took out the 'Small Void Teleportation Talisman' he had obtained from Yu Shusheng, comparing it with the talisman inheritance he possessed.
"A few missing strokes on the surface aren't a big problem; the key lies in the hidden spiritual power and brushstroke variations within. . ."
"Fortunately, I have 'Taiyi' assisting with computations; otherwise, fully completing it and trying to correct errors would truly be a massive undertaking."
Sharp light gleamed in Fang Xi's eyes. Using his own attainments in void arts, combined with the actual object, and with 'Taiyi's' assistance, he attempted to complete the talisman crafting inheritance.
A moment later.
He picked up a talisman brush, fully dipped it in silver spiritual ink, a concoction made from desolate beast blood and numerous void treasures, and began to outline on the talisman paper.
As Fang Xi put down his brush, the void faintly fluctuated.
And where the brushstrokes contacted the talisman paper, strands of silver light emerged; this was extremely condensed void power, continuously seeping into the talisman paper.
Fang Xi seemed to have made up his mind, his brush strokes as if divinely aided, not stopping for a single moment.
In the blink of an eye, more than half of this silver talisman was completed. . .
It looked exactly like the genuine Small Void Teleportation Talisman, without the slightest difference.
However, at this moment, on the Small Void Talisman, streaks of silver light darted about chaotically, suddenly condensing into a ball, seemingly about to erupt!
Such a high-grade void talisman self-destructing at such close range would unleash power no less than a miniature void turbulence!
Seeing this, Fang Xi merely furrowed his brow and gently flicked his sleeve.
Streaks of jade-like talismans appeared, transforming into numerous silver phoenix seal characters, like a seal, confining the void turbulence generated by the 'Small Void Teleportation Talisman's' self-detonation within a spherical membrane.
Subsequently, streaks of green light appeared in the void, rapidly smoothing over the void cracks.
After everything passed, apart from the slightly scattered table, there was almost no difference whatsoever from before.
"Did it fail?"
Fang Xi muttered, not appearing disheartened or surprised.
After all, he was completing a talisman inheritance. Even with so many superior conditions, it would be impossible without failing dozens or hundreds of times.
But one success meant continuous benefits from now on.
Given the preciousness of the Small Void Teleportation Talisman, pricing it with supreme-grade spirit stones would simply be an insult! It would at least require Immortal Jade!
"In the future, the Wang Family Ancestor will have one more livelihood skill. . ."
Fang Xi smiled faintly.
His enthusiasm for talismans was exhausted for the day, so he no longer forced himself to draw talismans, but instead went outside to relax and have some fun.
A few days later, he began to study formations again.
Since the commotion surrounding the overseas immortal abode had gradually subsided, numerous Return to Void forces had begun to withdraw their relevant personnel and disciples.
After all, there were no treasures left in that overseas immortal abode worth the attention of Return to Void cultivators.
More Divine Transformation and even Nascent Soul forces, on the other hand, began to swarm forward, like wild dogs scrambling for leftovers.
The Wang Family undoubtedly belonged to the strongest alpha dog, occupying a large share of the profits.
And Wang Lingying also knew how to conduct himself well. Although his power was immense, he did not overdo things. He conscientiously completed Fang Xi's instructions, observing the remnants of various grand formations, and even sent incomplete formation diagrams and damaged array-setting artifacts to Moonlight Immortal City. . .
Every now and then, Fang Xi would receive many such "trash" from the Taiyin Fairy.
Then he would study them himself and hand them over to Taiyi and the Kyushu World for analysis.
He aimed to draw experience from them to enhance his own formation dao cultivation.
"Among my numerous hundred arts of cultivation, formation arts still rank first, having already entered the sixth tier. . . Below that are talisman crafting and pill refining. Then, due to the Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm, my spirit plant cultivation skill also counts as sixth-tier. . . Beast taming art, although I have a beast taming inheritance, barely counts as quasi-sixth-tier. . . The rest are fifth-tier puppet art and the spiritual cooking skill that my External Avatar has gradually improved. . . As for artifact refining, it's not even worth mentioning yet. . ."
"The years are quiet and peaceful, but I still need to work hard."
Fang Xi covered his face with a formation book, lazily lay on a rattan chair, and revealed a faint smile. . .
