Chapter 792: News from Jin Gangzi
"Among the nine ranks of the Shinto, the fifth rank is another significant watershed, with a distinction between Yin God and Yang God. . ."
"A Fifth-rank Yang God should be equivalent to a Core Formation cultivator. Within their divine authority, their divine abilities and spells would far surpass those of a Core Formation cultivator. . ."
This was also information recorded within the Martial Judge's divine position.
But beyond that, it became quite vague.
After all, for a mere ninth-rank official, knowing about the fifth-rank True God position was already enough.
Many deities found it difficult to ascend from the ninth rank to the fifth rank in their entire lives!
"But from this, one can infer that a Third-rank True God should be equivalent to a Nascent Soul. . . and a First-rank True God would then be Soul Transformation?"
"As for beyond Soul Transformation? Naturally, one would ascend to the Heavenly Court. . . After all, it's just a minor realm, only allowing up to Soul Transformation."
"The Son of Heaven's divine rank might even surpass Soul Transformation, comparable to Return to Void?"
"Within the Heavenly Court, deities of princely, marquis, and count ranks are probably all at the Return to Void stage. . ."
"After that, a 'Monarch' might be comparable to Void Amalgamation. . ."
"As for Heavenly King and Heavenly Venerate. . . could they perhaps be Great Ascension cultivators?"
"The final Heavenly Emperor, I'm afraid, would have to be counted separately. . ."
After silently calculating the Heavenly Court's strength, Fang Xi's resolve to continue lying low immediately solidified.
Let's see how much of a stir his External Avatar can cause in that Shinto world.
He stepped out of his cave dwelling, and the gentle voice of Taiyi Scripture immediately sounded beside him: "Master. . . Gui Axe Zhenjun requests a meeting!"
"Hmm."
Fang Xi assented, and a holographic projection immediately appeared before him—the image of Gui Axe Zhenjun!
However, at this moment, the other party had already broken through Soul Transformation and achieved Return to Void!
The Trapped Sky Island was rich in resources, far surpassing any single human domain. The variety of Return to Void spiritual items even exceeded what ordinary human cultivators could imagine.
After all, there were also special products from the Yao race, Demon race, and even other alien races. If a human cultivator at Soul Transformation Perfected stage were here, the probability of breaking through to Return to Void would definitely be much higher than outside.
Even for a Return to Void Perfected cultivator, the chance of breaking through to Void Amalgamation would be slightly greater.
"Dao Master, after reviewing the data you provided, this is my paper on psychic potential and faith power!"
Gui Axe Zhenjun handed Fang Xi a lengthy paper.
This paper seemed concise, but if printed out, it could probably fill an entire room.
Fang Xi tapped the screen, and countless lines of information scrolled down like a waterfall.
After advancing to Void Amalgamation, his Divine Consciousness had increased again, and he finished reading the paper in mere moments.
Not only did he finish it, but he also had a clear understanding of all the data within.
"Therefore. . . we can begin the experimental stage?"
Fang Xi's eyes lit up.
"Yes, after all, to start, we only need a county-sized area, with tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of people, to begin the experiment. . ."
Gui Axe Zhenjun replied.
He was originally an expert in the human mind and subconscious, and he had also overseen the development of the Primordial Spirit Magical Artifact "Hidden Dragon," giving him significant authority on the matter.
And on Trapped Sky Island, there were indeed many mortal kingdoms.
After all, not every child of a cultivator possessed a spiritual root, and the power of sentient life's reproduction was limitless.
The reason the human race hadn't yet occupied the entire Trapped Sky Island was entirely due to the excessively dangerous environment.
Even so, dozens of small kingdoms had been scattered and established, each backed by human cultivators. Their constant warfare reminded Fang Xi of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.
"Hmm, I suppose human cultivators will give me face now and hand over all mortal kingdoms for me to rule. . . though that might require some persuasion. But giving one or two kingdoms to us, that's entirely out of the question."
Fang Xi smiled faintly.
After deciding to research the Shinto, mortals became a rare resource, and the mortal kingdoms on Trapped Sky Island entered his sights.
And cultivators generally didn't care much for mortals; these kingdoms were still very primitive.
If he spoke up, most high-level cultivators would readily agree.
As for anything else? It would just be a bit of effort.
"If enough incense and faith are gathered, it might stimulate the evolution of divine positions. . ."
Gui Axe Zhenjun pushed up his spectacles, inexplicably gaining a scholarly demeanor.
These ordinary low-rank divine positions held no appeal for a Return to Void cultivator.
Even if one could mass-produce First-rank divine positions, it would only enable the mass production of Soul Transformation cultivators.
What truly attracted him was the possibility of infinite evolution for divine positions.
If they could cultivate a Heavenly Emperor in the Earthly Immortal World?
Then Great Ascension cultivators could be effortlessly extinguished, and the vengeance for the previous Dao Master could be exacted in an instant.
...
After a moment of relaxation, petting the fox a couple of times, Fang Xi arrived at the Celestial Brahma Domain in the Earthly Immortal World.
On Trapped Sky Island, he was the foremost cultivator, a figure who made Void Amalgamation mighty beings change color at his sight.
But in the Celestial Brahma Domain, he was merely a human cultivator who had just advanced to the early Void Amalgamation stage.
While still a top-tier mighty being, his reputation was far inferior to what it was on Trapped Sky Island.
A streak of green light subtly departed from Penglai Immortal Pavilion, heading towards Celestial Brahma City.
"This trip to Three Realms Mountain, I can try to capture a few Return to Void demonic cultivators who practice the 'Myriad Manifestations True Demon Arts' to level up my External Avatar?"
Within the light of escape, Fang Xi's expression was calm as he pondered inwardly.
Now that he had broken through to Void Amalgamation, his External Avatar's cultivation could continue to rise.
However, according to the characteristics of the "Myriad Manifestations True Demon Arts," it was difficult to produce Void Amalgamation demonic cultivators.
After all, the Zizai Tianmo Wang wouldn't dig such a massive pit for himself.
Therefore, the versions of the demonic art circulating outside only went up to Return to Void Perfected. Any further advancement would surely invite the Zizai Tianmo Wang's will to descend and seize the cultivation!
If the other party were to advance to Great Ascension this time, becoming a new Demon Ancestor, perhaps he would release the Void Amalgamation-level content of the "Myriad Manifestations True Demon Arts" to cultivate even fatter leeks.
But now, that was clearly impossible.
Fortunately, Fang Xi wasn't picky; any Return to Void Demon race member who cultivated this demonic art would do.
With just one, his External Avatar would likely break through to Return to Void Perfected.
If he managed to get a few more, he might even directly break through to the Void Amalgamation realm!
"Going to find the Zizai Tianmo Wang would indeed be troublesome. . . Perhaps I should disguise myself as a demonic cultivator who has broken through to Void Amalgamation, to lure the Zizai Tianmo Wang to his own demise. . ."
Fang Xi was already a master of the "luring the snake out of its hole" tactic.
Although the Zizai Tianmo Wang should be carrying a fragment of the All-Heavens Precious Mirror, constantly revealing his position to Fang Xi.
But going to the Demon Realm was troublesome after all.
Fang Xi still hoped that the other party would actively come to the human race, so he could fulfill his role as host.
Besides this, he also had some thoughts about the fragment held by the Yao race.
The fragment of the All-Heavens Precious Mirror in the Yao race's hands, along with the one held by Fuyouzi, had been jointly crafted into a "Two Realms Gate."
During the previous great war with the Yao race, the Two Realms Gate was destroyed, leaving only one half, which had become useless.
According to his guess, it should be kept by a certain Yao race Great Sage, and the level of security shouldn't be very high.
"However, there's also a possibility that it's guarded by a True Spirit-level existence of the Yao race. . . And such True Spirit-level existences generally have extremely long lifespans, far exceeding twenty to thirty thousand years. . ."
"Therefore, I still can't act recklessly. . ."
"Once the 'Withered Glory Chant' breaks through to the Great Ascension stage, I can resolve all problems, just like on Trapped Sky Island."
As he pondered, Celestial Brahma City was already in sight.
Fang Xi came here, naturally, to use the "super teleportation array. " After all, on this trip to Three Realms Mountain, he also planned to visit the mystic realm discovered by Liang Rulong, even though he definitely wouldn't enter it, he could still clear up some external troubles.
He might even visit a few large auctions held by the Xuanwu Pavilion to collect items he needed.
Since he would be appearing publicly then, he naturally needed to establish a record of his journey now.
As a Void Amalgamation cultivator, he was already at the top tier of the human race. His every move was watched by many with ulterior motives, so he had to be more careful in maintaining this identity.
Celestial Brahma City.
At the city gate, cultivators were lining up to enter the city.
Not to mention Nascent Soul cultivators, even Soul Transformation and Return to Void cultivators had to obediently abide by the rules at this time.
After all, Celestial Brahma City had Void Amalgamation cultivators stationed there, and it represented the Celestial Brahma Army and Jin Gangzi!
Swoosh!
Just then, a spiritual light flashed, and within the green light, a figure vaguely appeared, directly entering the city!
"Eh? A cultivator is flying? Has the anti-flight restriction in the city failed?"
At the city gate, a Nascent Soul cultivator stared at the figure within the green light, his face full of disbelief.
Immediately, he was met with contempt from the other guards at the gate: "Hehe. . . Little cultivator, you're lucky to witness a Void Amalgamation mighty being traveling."
"It's a Void Amalgamation mighty being?"
The Nascent Soul cultivator who had just spoken immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
"Who else could freely enter and exit the city's grand array without any obstruction, other than a Void Amalgamation cultivator?"
Next to him, an elderly Soul Transformation cultivator, resembling an old farmer with white hair, stroked his beard with a sigh: "In our Celestial Brahma Domain, there are only two Void Amalgamation cultivators, which is quite few. . . This one's escape light is pure green, so it's clearly not that Senior Luo, which means it can only be Senior Fang from Penglai Immortal Pavilion."
"That ascended mighty being who advanced to Void Amalgamation several millennia ago?"
Several low-level cultivators nearby showed expressions of reverence upon hearing this.
"Indeed. . . Ascended cultivators are mostly exceptionally talented, making up a good three or four tenths of all Void Amalgamation cultivators. . ."
The aged Soul Transformation cultivator also sighed with emotion: "It is said that 'Mo Yun Zi,' one of the Human Race Five Sons, originated from an ascended cultivator. . ."
...
Fang Xi naturally wasn't interested in listening to the discussions of low-level cultivators.
After entering Celestial Brahma City, he headed directly for the super teleportation array.
"Hmm? Why is that person there?"
Before the teleportation hall, Fang Xi's Divine Consciousness swept out, and he was somewhat surprised, but still brought his escape light down.
He saw that next to the super teleportation array stood an old, bald Arhat with a sorrowful expression, wearing a black-gold kasaya, his two white eyebrows hanging low.
It was none other than the Void Amalgamation cultivator surnamed Luo, who was stationed in Celestial Brahma City!
"Fellow Daoist Luo!"
Fang Xi first cupped his hands in greeting.
"Fellow Daoist Fang, this old monk has been waiting here for quite some time, ever since the formation detected a Void Amalgamation cultivator approaching."
Fellow Daoist Luo clasped his hands together and smiled: "May I ask if Fellow Daoist is heading to Three Realms Mountain?"
"What if I am? What if I'm not? " Fang Xi wouldn't easily reveal his destination, instead asking back.
"If you are, then please go and meet the Army Commander. There might be a great opportunity awaiting you. . ."
Fellow Daoist Luo clasped his hands together and smiled faintly.
Ugh, taking care of a baby is exhausting, and I'm sleep-deprived. I just put down the bottle to write this chapter. The second update will be later, and please vote for me for some comfort.
