Chapter 752: Harvest (Bonus Chapter - Seeking Monthly Votes)
‘A decent escape secret art. . . What a pity, you ran into me. ’
Fang Xi naturally couldn’t discern which of the insect cloud concealed Fuyouzi’s true body.
But he didn’t need to guess at all!
Within his Dantian Qi Sea, the main Nascent Soul, cradling the All-Heavens Precious Mirror, smiled faintly and locked its gaze onto a dark green longhorn beetle demon insect that was indistinguishable from the other Heavenly Demon Insects.
‘After all, this person is a peak Integration grand-senior. . . ’
‘If I were to expose and break this secret art, he might just unleash other divine abilities. . . ’
‘Although he appears severely wounded by the Fifth-Generation Green Grain Sword, his power to retaliate must still remain, and perhaps be extremely ferocious! ’
As Fang Xi’s thoughts spun like lightning, he made his decision.
He formed a hand seal with one hand, and the Life and Death Seal appeared in his grasp, countless purple dragon-script characters swirling and flashing around it.
Whish!
A colossal Demonic Tree phantom materialized, its branches and leaves continuously unfurling, nearly eclipsing the sky.
Utilizing the perception of the 'Withered Glory Mystic Light', Fang Xi immediately ascertained Fuyouzi’s lifespan.
“With his true body destroyed and his avatar gravely wounded by me, he still has over three thousand years remaining? ”
Fang Xi was slightly startled.
If he hadn’t been gravely wounded, Fuyouzi’s lifespan might have exceeded six thousand years, which would have been a huge problem!
Fortunately, he was still within the kill-line at this moment!
He no longer hesitated, his eyes cold and sharp, like a high and mighty deity determining the life and death of mortals and ants: “Supreme Pole Star. . . Command your demise! ”
Whoosh!
The Supreme Pole Star Life-Ending Divine Light flashed, accurately striking that Heavenly Demon Insect!
Even without the All-Heavens Precious Mirror’s perception, Fang Xi could easily pinpoint the location of Fuyouzi’s true spirit with this divine ability!
In an instant.
Fang Xi felt a wave of emptiness within his body.
This was the aftereffect of the immense consumption from using the Fifth-Generation Green Grain Sword earlier, coupled with the immediate loss of over thirty thousand years of lifespan!
And the next moment!
That Heavenly Demon Insect suddenly let out a terrifying shriek, causing the surrounding void to continuously crack open.
Countless Heavenly Demon Insects exploded, transforming into wisps of Heavenly Demon Qi.
Alas, this was merely the unconscious struggle of limbs after death. . .
In the void, a dark green longhorn beetle-like Heavenly Demon Insect violently burst apart, revealing the corpse of a demon insect.
In mid-air, it plummeted into the opened Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm, vanishing without a trace.
The next moment, Fang Xi’s true body vanished in a flash of silver light.
The External Avatar coughed twice, began to clear the battlefield, and then transformed into the appearance of the Wang Family Ancestor, heading to rendezvous with the other cultivators of Moonlight Immortal City. . .
......
Within the Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm.
Beneath the Dragon-Patterned Wall.
Ever since acquiring this jade tablet, Fang Xi’s daily resting and contemplation spot had become this place.
At this moment, his face was grave as he gazed at a thumb-sized demon insect before him.
“Unimaginable. . . this is Fuyouzi’s true body? No. . . it’s the true body of his avatar? ”
He saw that the insect was entirely black, shaped like a cricket, and possessed a pair of wings.
It lay there utterly devoid of life, yet emanating a savage ferocity, making one feel as if facing some primordial desolate beast.
‘If I were to refine it into an ultra-small puppet, it would also be an unexpected trump card! ’
‘This insect’s physical body is already seventh-rank, even stronger than my quasi-seventh-rank physical body. . . ’
Gazing at the two mandibles on the demon insect’s mouthparts, Fang Xi had no doubt it could bite through his skin defense.
“Given its ultra-small size, if it burrowed into the body of a cultivator or demon beast, it would definitely be a great killer weapon. . . ”
Fang Xi murmured, raising the demon insect in his palm.
Following the All-Heavens Precious Mirror’s perception, he removed one of its leg segments.
This leg segment was clearly fake, and had been refined post-natally.
As Fang Xi’s Divine Consciousness slowly ground away its original owner’s imprint with the power of his spiritual domain, a colossal Grotto-Heaven materialized before his eyes!
A surge of spiritual energy rushed at him.
With a rough sweep of his Divine Consciousness, he saw vast expanses of spirit fields, spiritual medicines, mountains of Spirit Stones, Immortal Jade. . .
And a large amount of rare and precious materials, both named and unnameable!
“Truly worthy of a peak Integration grand-senior. . . I’ve struck it rich this time! ”
“No, this is just an avatar, and who knows how many good things Fuyouzi’s true body, who has been one of the Human Race Five Sons for so many years, has in his storage bag? ”
“If I were to hand all of these over for the Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm to devour. . . I should be able to advance to late-stage Return to Void, or even perfected Return to Void, at the fastest possible speed! ”
“Indeed. . . stable management is utterly incomparable to the speed of robbery! Especially robbing cultivators of a higher cultivation realm than oneself! ”
Although, for ordinary cultivators, attempting such a feat would be no different from seeking death.
Even Fang Xi, currently had his body plagued by numerous injuries and ailments.
Fortunately, the Eternal Evergreen Body possessed boundless vitality, slowly mending his injuries.
As for the lifespan consumption, he could always replenish it by visiting the Ancestral Demonic Tree!
“Fully utilizing the Fifth-Generation Green Grain Sword, the backlash was indeed a bit severe after all. . . ”
“If I were to continue fighting, I’d already feel a sense of exhaustion. ”
Fang Xi sighed, then picked up another fragment of an Immortal Abode Rare Treasure.
This fragment was the tip of a blade, its material as crystalline as jade, and faint transparent runes could be vaguely seen within.
“Immortal Abode Rare Treasures, incomplete Immortal Abode Rare Treasures, fragments of Immortal Abode Rare Treasures, imitations of Immortal Abode Rare Treasures. . . ”
“If the All-Heavens Precious Mirror is considered the highest-grade Immortal Abode Rare Treasure, then I now possess one of each of these four grades of treasures. . . ”
Fang Xi felt somewhat speechless.
However, the All-Heavens Precious Mirror’s rank must certainly be above ordinary Immortal Artifacts, involving incredible Dao Fruit creations.
This was something Fang Xi had understood since his first discovery of the Dao Fruit secret in the Da Liang World.
“Beyond that. . . there’s also Dong Qiuzi’s puppetry inheritance. ”
A treasured yellow jade slip appeared in his hand.
He hadn’t had time to look at it before, but now with a sweep of his spiritual sense, he found it was indeed a sixth-rank puppetry art.
Even at the end, there was advice and experience on refining quasi-seventh-rank Dragon-Phoenix puppets.
Evidently, this was something Dong Qiuzi had only recently added, and from Fang Xi’s discerning perspective, Dong Qiuzi hadn’t hidden anything.
After all, he was also a fifth-rank puppet grandmaster; he could still discern this much truth from falsehood.
“Sixth-rank puppetry art, truly excellent. . . If it’s fake, I’ll certainly go find Dong Qiuzi to settle accounts later! ”
“Of course. . . the most important spoils of war, are this. ”
A flash of light in Fang Xi’s hand, and from that limb-shaped Grotto-Heaven treasure, he retrieved a bronze door.
This bronze door had an ancient and simple design, and a ferocious beast-head was carved upon its door panel.
Within the beast-head’s mouth, however, was held a bronze fragment!
“As expected, this item was in your hands. ”
Seeing this, a faint smile appeared on Fang Xi’s face.
He gazed at the bronze door panel, sensing the unfathomable artifact refining techniques upon it, and couldn’t help but nod repeatedly: “To have thought of such a method, leveraging the power of the All-Heavens Fragments. . . truly remarkable. ”
“What a pity. . . I’m simply not proficient in artifact refining, so I still can’t quite understand it! ”
Fang Xi’s gaze shifted upwards, and his expression suddenly became grave.
He saw that upon this bronze door panel, there was also a sword mark!
Within the sword mark, a black iron talisman was embedded, bearing countless Immortal Abode secret scripts, emitting a starlike radiance that sealed the door’s function, rendering it unable to teleport ever again.
“No wonder Fuyouzi didn’t use this door to escape directly to the demon race territory. . . so it was broken, and even locked! ”
“Could this Immortal Talisman secret script and sword mark have originated from a Mahayana Rogue Immortal? ”
At this thought, Fang Xi’s expression couldn’t help but grow solemn.
Although he was now in the Human World, with the Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm obstructing, logically speaking, even a Mahayana Rogue Immortal shouldn’t be able to sense him.
But just in case, it would be best to first retrieve the fragment, casually discard the bronze door into another minor world, and then slowly research it later!
Although the fragment of the All-Heavens Precious Mirror was firmly fused onto the bronze door, Fang Xi could tell at a glance that with the demon race’s capabilities, they still couldn’t even slightly melt the All-Heavens Fragment.
Therefore, he simply summoned the main body of the ‘All-Heavens Precious Mirror’.
Hum!
An ancient bronze mirror flashed, and then a silver-white radiance enveloped the bronze door.
Countless phoenix-script characters emerged, and after the silver light dissipated, the bronze fragment within the beast-head had astonishingly vanished.
Fang Xi then looked at the All-Heavens Precious Mirror again, and saw that this bronze mirror was largely complete, with only two gaps on its surface.
Clearly, it still lacked the piece in the demon race’s possession, and the fragment in Zizai Tianmo Wang’s hand, before it could be truly complete!
“Another fragment collected. . . ”
After carefully sensing it, Fang Xi couldn’t help but quip: “No new functions have unlocked. . . It seems new changes only occur when I break through to the Integration great realm? ”
“The day the Precious Mirror is complete is not far off now. ”
“I wonder what incredible changes will occur when the All-Heavens Precious Mirror is fully complete? ”
Fang Xi had always greatly anticipated this.
And he also knew that this day was not far off.
With his current divine abilities and magical power, as long as he advanced to Integration, saying he would dominate the Earthly Immortal World might be arrogant, but he should certainly be able to act without restraint.
......
The Earthly Immortal World.
Just as Fang Xi took the All-Heavens Fragment.
Within the human race territory, a Daoist with an immortal-like demeanor and a long sword on his back halted his light of escape.
He had the hair of a crane and the face of a child, his gaze warm and moist, and a faint immortal aura lingered around his body.
At this moment, he frowned, and suddenly formed a hand seal: “The aura of that Two Worlds Gate suddenly vanished. . . its heavenly secrets were already obscured, making it impossible to deduce anything. . . Alas, could it be that the demon race has a high-ranking spy within our human race? Able to provide support to that Fuyouzi? ”
“This old man’s Immortal Abode secret talisman is not so easily broken. . . ”
This Mahayana Rogue Immortal had previously killed Fuyouzi’s true body, and then seized the opportunity to close the Two Worlds Gate, preventing the demon race’s true spirits from appearing.
He even took the opportunity to cast a secret talisman, for both sealing and tracking.
However, he hadn’t expected that the talisman, which he had always sensed without issue, had suddenly vanished just now!
This made him suspect if a figure of Mahayana Rogue Immortal caliber had made a move!
......
At the same time, within a certain valley among the demon race, a roar that struck terror into ten thousand beasts suddenly erupted: “Drat. . . those damned humans. . . half of the Two Worlds Gate is lost, it’s completely useless now. . . ”
