Chapter 811: Alliance of Other Races (Bonus Chapter, Please Vote with Monthly Tickets)
Several years later.
On Trapped Sky Island.
Fang Xi flipped his palm, and a strange jade bottle appeared.
After opening it, inside was an unusual medicinal pill.
It was the size of a thumb, yet its interior seemed composed of countless particles, densely packed and continuously moving along specific trajectories. . .
The next moment, he swallowed the pill, formed hand seals, and immersed his consciousness into his sea of consciousness.
In an instant, a terrifying demonic aura immediately erupted from his body. He had shockingly activated the 'Three-Phase Annihilation Art', transforming into a Void Amalgamation demonic cultivator!
Immediately after, Fang Xi pressed his temples, feeling an immense throbbing pain within his sea of consciousness.
"Whoosh. . . Whoosh. . ."
After a long while, Fang Xi finally recovered, letting out a long breath: "This insect race secret art truly isn't meant for human cultivators. . ."
After he traded with that seventh-stage insect race, Kuayi, the other party provided the complete secret art.
Fang Xi personally deduced it for a while, and after joint research with the Kyushu World, confirmed there were no major issues.
It was just that it was best to attempt such a secret art after transforming into a Yao race, and it also had extremely high requirements for Divine Consciousness and physical constitution.
He usually cultivated diligently in seclusion in Celestial Brahma City. After several years of cultivation, aided by medicinal pills, he finally felt this time that the secret art was on the verge of a breakthrough, thus he came to Trapped Sky Island.
After this final session of cultivation, he finally managed to successfully cultivate this insect race secret art to the introductory level.
"This secret art is finally complete. Although primarily for soul-searching, it also has a certain effect of stimulating the sea of consciousness and enhancing Divine Consciousness. It's better than nothing."
"To go through so much trouble for just one sixth-stage insect race, you are truly deserving of pride."
Fang Xi once again took out his Divine Wood Cauldron, muttering to himself.
Sealed by the Divine Wood Cauldron, the sixth-stage insect race within couldn't even self-destruct. It was like a small insect trapped in amber, yet it could still maintain some degree of consciousness.
At this moment, a sharp shriek immediately erupted.
"Obstinate."
Fang Xi extended his right hand, and lines resembling insects emerged, flying towards the bamboo stick insect-like 'Yin Gui Chong'.
"Ah. . . Impossible, this is our race's supreme secret art! Who betrayed our race? Betrayed the alliance?"
The Yin Gui Chong could no longer maintain its composure, its voice carrying a trace of panic.
"Alliance?"
A sharp glint flashed in Fang Xi's eyes.
The main reason he relentlessly pursued the insect race was because he felt something was amiss!
It's understandable for the Yao and Demon races to plant spies within the human race.
But for the insect race, a species that has already been annihilated, instead of migrating to the depths of the wilderness to flee for their lives, they actively infiltrate the human race. What could they be planning?
Soon, he would know the reason behind all of this!
The insect-like markings swiftly spread across the Yin Gui Chong's body, drilling deep into its sea of consciousness.
Immediately after, streams of inexplicable information emerged.
Fang Xi seemed to experience the entire life of this insect race like a passing glimpse, as a mere bystander.
...
"Whoosh. . ."
After a long while, Fang Xi put away his Divine Wood Cauldron and sighed, his gaze inscrutable: "An Alliance of Other Races, then?"
The Human, Yao, and Demon races had annihilated countless native races, fostering a deep-seated hatred with the other races of the Earthly Immortal World.
The survivors among these other races naturally desired revenge!
Compared to the Human, Yao, or Demon races. . . the other races were weak, with even Void Amalgamation cultivators being extremely rare. Speaking of revenge was practically a joke!
But when numerous other races united, it was a different story!
"According to the Yin Gui Chong's memories, it belonged to the Alliance of Other Races. . . This alliance was formed by countless other races that had been annihilated by the Human, Yao, and Demon races, with the aim of revenge and reclaiming their original living territories. . ."
"Originally, deep enmity existed even among the other races themselves, making an alliance nearly impossible, such as between the Water Clan and the Fire Clan. . . However, by coincidence, as countless other races were forced to migrate deeper into the wilderness, they happened to encounter another powerful other race — the Jiuchi Race. As the strongest among the other races, the Jiuchi Race possessed several Mahayana cultivators, suppressed the pre-existing conflicts, and became the alliance's leader. . . Furthermore, they deeply feared the aggressiveness of the Human, Yao, and Demon races, and prepared to completely erase them from the Earthly Immortal World."
"In terms of true strength, the Alliance of Other Races was actually inferior to any single one of the Human, Yao, or Demon races, let alone erasing all three. Therefore, they extensively deployed spies, selecting those among the other races skilled in stealth and disguise, to infiltrate the territories of the three races, gather intelligence, and instigate wars. . . to weaken them."
"This 'Yin Gui Chong' was one of those selected members."
"Alliance of Other Races, Jiuchi Race. . ."
Fang Xi couldn't help but feel profoundly shocked.
He had long since read the history of the human race, knowing that the Human, Yao, and Demon races had contended for supremacy, expanding their territories by tens of thousands of miles and annihilating countless clans.
Yet, he never expected that there was still a remnant alliance!
Not only that, they could even attract external aid!
However, the Earthly Immortal World was vast and boundless, with no end in sight. The appearance of a 'Jiuchi Race' was quite reasonable. . .
"Is the human race blind? How could they not even discover this?"
"No, that's not right either. . . The Alliance of Other Races is quite secretive, and the spies they send are either of the insect race, whose sea of consciousness structure is different, making soul-searching inherently difficult, or they must have had Divine Consciousness restrictions placed upon them, preventing them from revealing secrets. . . I only obtained this intelligence because, in essence, a seventh-stage insect race rebelled."
"Fortunately, while the Alliance of Other Races is dangerous, their strength is limited. . ."
If they truly possessed the strength to overturn the table, why would they hide in the shadows causing trouble?
Fang Xi remained relatively calm about this.
As long as the intelligence is leaked, the three races will undoubtedly join forces again, and the Alliance of Other Races will surely perish without a burial ground.
"No wonder I felt this great war was somewhat hasty, with no period for recuperation. . . If the intention was never for the three races to recuperate, then it's immediately understandable."
"Wait. . . "
"With the methods of the other races, there might not be other spies among the higher echelons?"
At the very least, this great war began hastily, carrying many inexplicable coincidences.
"'The Demon race seized Jin Gangzi's opportunity, but was it truly the Demon race? Or were they Demon race members who had been parasitized or even replaced, like Mingxin Monk? '"
"'The Alliance of Other Races has made arrangements within all three races, constantly waiting for an opportunity to thoroughly weaken them, and then replace them? '"
"'Could this opportunity be the previous Yao race invasion, where True Spirits perished. . . making the Alliance of Other Races feel that the balance of power had equalized or even slightly tipped in their favor? '"
"'If one or two more Mahayana cultivators from the three races die in this war. . . then the situation might truly become dire. '"
Fang Xi's expression shifted: "It seems I still need to give a warning!"
With his status as a Void Amalgamation cultivator, even without concrete evidence, the human race's higher echelons couldn't simply pretend it didn't exist!
As long as they investigate, there will certainly be clues.
What's more, this 'Yin Gui Chong' is the best evidence!
"My only fear is. . . it might already be too late."
Fang Xi's mind was made up. Without further hesitation, he flashed with silver light and arrived at Celestial Brahma City.
Now, the ten-year period was approaching its end, yet Fellow Daoist Luo showed no sign of returning.
According to his last message, the front lines were in excellent condition, and they were about to breach the Twelve Netherworld World-Ending Great Array and such, leaving Fang Xi quite speechless.
"However. . . if I give a warning under my 'Fang Xi' identity, it might attract the hatred of the Alliance of Other Races. . ."
"It's better to change my appearance and, as a mysterious Void Amalgamation cultivator, leave a warning for the human race's higher echelons. . . Ideally, I should go directly to Jin Gangzi. This person is a high-ranking member of the human race and has truly faced that group of Demon race members. Perhaps he has already discovered something amiss?"
Fang Xi secretly made his decision: "Since that's the case, I'll conveniently use the All-Heavens Precious Mirror to teleport there, avoiding the super teleportation arrays and creating an alibi. . ."
Just as he made this decision, a surge of magical power suddenly came from outside.
"What's going on?"
He frowned, stepped out of his cultivation quiet room, and saw several cultivators already standing outside the formation.
Kuang Ping'an stood before the formation, his expression slightly awkward.
In front of him were two monks. Mingde Monk bowed his head, silent, his prayer beads spinning rapidly in his hand.
Beside Mingde Monk was a Golden-Bodied Arhat.
His figure was tall and burly, his exposed skin emanating a faint golden luster. Through his half-open monk's robe, one could faintly discern tattoos of pythons and sparrows on his body.
Just by standing there, a powerful surge of magical power emanated from him, indicating he had reached the mid-stage Void Amalgamation realm.
"Mingxin's master, Python-Sparrow Arhat, mid-stage Void Amalgamation? !"
Fang Xi frowned, stepped out of the formation: "Fellow Daoist Python-Sparrow, what is the meaning of this?"
For cultivators, even without directly attacking the formation, such an unannounced visit, rather than first sending a voice transmission talisman, carried a hint of provocation.
"Fellow Daoist Fang!"
Python-Sparrow Arhat put his palms together and bowed: "This old monk has already visited my junior disciple. He was invaded by a malicious Gu worm, suffering severe damage to both his body and soul, and is now on his last breath. . ."
"Indeed. . ."
Fang Xi nodded.
This Python-Sparrow Arhat was indeed no fool.
It was just unclear why, despite knowing this, he still came to seek him out.
"According to this old monk's deduction, the Gu worm that harmed my disciple should be in your possession, correct? This old monk is willing to exchange for it. I ask Fellow Daoist to hand over the Gu worm."
Python-Sparrow Arhat bowed again: "This old monk is worried about my disciple and has already invited the 'Divine Physician'. According to the Divine Physician, if the Gu worm that harmed my disciple is used as medicine, Mingxin might still be saved. . ."
"Oh? Must it be this way?"
Fang Xi flicked his finger, his eyes darkening.
"It must be so. . . because that Gu worm devoured Mingxin's soul, and thus it must be used as medicine to provide spiritual power of the same origin for replenishment. . ."
Python-Sparrow Arhat bowed once more: "I ask Fellow Daoist to have mercy on this old monk's disciple and save him. . ."
"'Such a coincidence? '"
"'Or. . . did Mingxin fall victim to the 'Yin Gui Chong' because of you, old fellow? Indeed. . . one spy can lead to an entire network. Is this a rescue, or a silencing? '"
The expression in Fang Xi's eyes was dark.
That 'Yin Gui Chong' was crucial evidence; together with the insect race secret art, it was an irrefutable ironclad proof!
It was precisely this striking coincidence that Python-Sparrow Arhat came to request it, which truly made Fang Xi ponder deeply.
"My sincerest apologies. . . When I took action earlier, I couldn't hold back. That Gu worm has already been annihilated, turning to ash."
A hint of regret appeared on Fang Xi's face.
"Fellow Daoist. . . Are you perhaps intentionally deceiving this old monk? With your rumored cultivation that rivals a mid-stage Void Amalgamation cultivator, how could you not hold back against a mere sixth-stage Gu worm?"
Python-Sparrow Arhat's eyebrows knitted tightly, his python and sparrow tattoos beginning to writhe on his body, emitting an intense radiance.
