Chapter 834: Preparing for Revenge
“This ‘Nine Hearts Immortal Tea’ possesses quite the ‘heart-cleansing and eye-brightening’ effect; it truly is a rare treasure. . . ”
After the longevity banquet.
Fang Xi sat beneath the peach blossom tree and brewed another pot of spirit tea for himself.
Cultivators were all shrewd individuals; even among the alien races, there were many who hedged their bets.
Now, seeing as they had traveled thousands of miles specifically to celebrate his longevity, he naturally had to offer them a way out, like the demon race. . .
Those two foxes, one large and one small, felt quite smooth to the touch.
In the future, he could further nurture the fox tribe.
He didn't know that the little fox, Su San, was currently regretting it deeply in her fox den, biting at the corner of her clothes. . .
Little fox Su San thought of the massive Green Horned Dragon she had seen today, and then recalled her granny's—no, her sister's—admonitions, and tears nearly welled up in her eyes.
She knew her own capabilities; even though she had reached the Return to Void stage, attempting the Integration stage would be extremely difficult.
Who could have imagined that in its later stages, the Divine Dao could produce experts no weaker than Integration stage or even Mahayana cultivators?
“If I had agreed to master's request before, would that mount have been me just now. . . Ying ying ying. . . ”
The little fox was on the verge of tears, yet none would fall.
One must know that competition is fierce in the world of pets and mounts.
As far as she knew, her master had at least one other incredibly talented little Black Tortoise by his side. . .
She hadn't expected that a single misstep earlier would lead to being slow every step of the way.
...
“Dao Master, numerous Integration stage human factions have already expressed their submission to our Kyushu School. . . ”
“The handling of the other alien races is all outlined in the plan. ”
Ghost Axe Venerable and Tumo Venerable stood before Fang Xi, reporting everything clearly and concisely.
Originally, the Kyushu Realm did not adhere to such formalism, but today, witnessing the Dao Master possess a Mahayana avatar, the sheer majesty of that Divine Dao Emperor caused Ghost Axe Venerable and Tumo Venerable to lower their stances even further.
At the same time, their hearts were brimming with excitement.
They only needed to wait for the opportune moment for Trapped Sky Island to reopen, and then they could go avenge the previous Dao Master.
“Hm. . . ”
Fang Xi had no objections to this; the resettlement plan essentially revolved around one principle: those who resisted would be severely punished, even exterminated, with only a few biological samples preserved, while those who surrendered would have their territories significantly reduced and their living space curtailed.
“At the same time, the Divine Dao will be fully promoted on Trapped Sky Island. Not only humans, but also the surrendered alien races who convert to the faith will receive preferential treatment. ”
Fang Xi chuckled.
Faith incense wasn't exclusive to the human race, after all.
“Dao Master! ”
Just then, a communication arrived: “After today's longevity banquet, two human Return to Void cultivators remained behind, claiming to be old friends of the Dao Master. . . ”
“Oh? ”
Fang Xi swept his Divine Consciousness, immediately knew who they were referring to, and directly instructed: “Bring them both over. . . ”
Not long after, two streaks of escape light descended into the courtyard, revealing Bai Yusheng and Shi Xianzhe, Fairy Shi.
“Fellow Daoist Bai, Fairy Shi. . . ”
Fang Xi nodded slightly.
“I wouldn't dare accept the title of fellow Daoist. . . Bai Yusheng greets Senior, and thanks Senior for your generous gift earlier. . . ”
Bai Yusheng immediately bowed, his demeanor utterly respectful.
Since their last parting at the Qibao Secret Realm, this person must have taken that ‘Qi of Marrow Cleansing and Bone Transformation’ to rescue someone important to him.
From the looks of it now, the outcome must have been favorable.
Shi Xianzhe, on the other hand, had a far more complex expression, scrutinizing Fang Xi from head to toe, as if seeing this ‘Wang Family Ancestor’ for the first time.
Although she knew the Wang Family Ancestor had many secrets, Fang Xi's previous display of strength when he saved her and Bai Yusheng from the Stone Clan Ancestor had already been astounding.
But compared to his subsequent consecutive killings of seventh-stage Integration realm alien beings, and even establishing the Kyushu School, ultimately unifying Trapped Sky Island, that earlier feat was utterly insignificant.
“This concubine. . . greets Senior. ”
Though Shi Xianzhe had a thousand words in her heart, at this moment, she could only offer a graceful bow.
“Indeed, both of you were my friends in the past. To be able to come and congratulate me on my longevity today, this old man's heart is greatly pleased. . . ”
Fang Xi let out a hearty laugh.
Although the Wang Family Ancestor's birthday didn't align with his own grand longevity celebration, he simply couldn't be bothered with such trivial matters.
With his current strength, would Moonlight Immortal City dare say anything more after his identity was revealed?
Or perhaps, he simply looked down on a mere Moonlight Immortal City now.
Fairy Shi sighed softly in her heart, and then bowed again: “This concubine is adrift and without reliance; I wish to join the Kyushu School. Please, Senior, grant my request. . . ”
“I shall agree to this matter. ”
Fang Xi nodded and called Ghost Axe Venerable over: “This is Ghost Axe Venerable; if Fairy has any matters in the future, you may liaise with him. . . ”
Shi Xianzhe bowed once more before withdrawing with Bai Yusheng.
“Our arrival on Trapped Sky Island might actually be a stroke of luck! ”
After they left, Bai Yusheng couldn't help but speak, his brows dancing with excitement: “This place gathers treasures and secret arts from myriad races. Through mutual complementarity, the probability of breaking through to the Integration stage should be higher than in the outside world. Not to mention, there are also Immortal Abode secret realms like the Qibao Secret Realm. . . There are truly many opportunities for Integration stage breakthroughs within them! ”
In his opinion, the Wang Family Ancestor must have used that ‘Innate Primordial Purple Gourd’ to break through the bottleneck to the Integration stage.
All of this was traceable; he wasn't surprised in the least by the other party's advancement to the Integration stage.
However, after reaching the Integration stage, his divine abilities and magic power remained astonishingly formidable, even eradicating numerous Integration stage alien beings and establishing the Divine Dao, which was slightly surprising.
But recalling the abnormality of the Xuanjing Wall back then, Bai Yusheng immediately had a guess in his heart.
‘The core opportunity of the Qibao Secret Realm. . . might very well be the Divine Dao legacy! ’
‘Within that Immortal Abode secret realm, there must be many powerful treasures and secret cultivation techniques. . . The Wang Family Ancestor truly soared to the heavens in a single step after reaching the Integration stage, thoroughly digesting all the benefits! ’
Obtaining the core legacy of an Immortal Abode and transforming from an obscure nobody into a trendsetter shaking up the cultivation world was merely a single step away!
Such occurrences, though rare in the history of the Earthly Immortal World, had indeed happened a few times!
Bai Yusheng firmly believed his thoughts were correct.
‘The Trapped Sky Island secret realm. . . perhaps this is my opportunity too! ’
He quietly clenched his fists. . .
...
Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm.
After dealing with mundane affairs, Fang Xi brought the ‘Nine Hearts Immortal Tea Tree’ into his own spiritual realm. Strands of Myriad Wood Mother Qi coiled down, and with the cooperation of Tea Elder, the immortal tea tree was successfully transplanted into his spiritual realm.
“My Lord even possesses such a secret realm. . . This old servant is truly impressed. . . ”
Tea Elder looked at the Myriad Wood Mother Qi in the sky, resembling auspicious green clouds, and couldn't help but sigh softly: “This place. . . seems to hold extraordinary profundities. It appears my Lord has obtained an immortal's legacy, and ascending to the True Immortal World in the future is hopeful! ”
Fang Xi couldn't be bothered with the old man's compliments. Anyway, within the Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm, with his Divine Dao Incarnation presiding and overseeing it, he wouldn't be able to stir up much trouble.
He carefully sensed it and found that after transplanting this immortal tea tree, the daily output of Myriad Wood Mother Qi from the Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm had indeed increased, but not by much. . .
This might be because the spiritual realm had already grown to a certain scale; to progress further from this elevated point, it would require more, and rarer, spiritual plants than before.
Or it could be. . .
‘Compared to the Ginseng Fruit Tree, this immortal tea tree is just trash? ’
With a thought, Fang Xi had already arrived beneath the Ginseng Fruit Tree.
This fruit tree was as always, with almost no changes.
“The Ancient Immortal Tree, whose spring lasts eight thousand years and autumn eight thousand years. . . Does this Ginseng Fruit Tree truly need three thousand years to bloom, three thousand years to bear fruit, and another three thousand years to mature? ”
“Fortunately, I am a cultivator, with a lifespan approaching a hundred thousand years; I can afford to wait! ”
He observed the Ginseng Fruit Tree for a moment, then entered the mortal kingdom he had established within the spiritual realm.
In the largest ‘Green Emperor Temple’, the Divine Dao Incarnation lay sleeping beneath the temple.
After all, each time it was deployed, it consumed a massive amount of faith incense power.
This time, after battling numerous Integration stage alien beings and bestowing the title of a Heavenly Lord, less than ten percent of its accumulated faith incense power remained.
Next, it would need continuous replenishment to unleash its full power.
‘Fortunately, with the unification of Trapped Sky Island, the power of faith incense is bound to surge. . . ’
Fang Xi checked the status of his Divine Dao Incarnation and nodded inwardly.
The Divine Dao had too many restrictions; his main body would absolutely never walk this path.
However, for an avatar, more restrictions meant a smaller chance of rebellion, which was a good thing!
At this moment, the Fang Xian Dao Palace had long been reclaimed by him. Fang Xi sat cross-legged on a cloud, quietly organizing his gains.
The storage bags of those Integration stage alien cultivators naturally contained many good things: Immortal Jade piled up like mountains, and besides that, various rare treasures that simply couldn't be acquired from the outside world no matter what.
For high-level cultivators, bartering was the mainstream of trade, and it was only natural for good items to converge in the hands of top-tier cultivators.
“This time, it truly was a massive haul. . . ”
“Besides that, during the process of annihilating those alien races, I should have acquired quite a few good things. . . ”
Fang Xi's eyes brightened considerably: “With resources in place, perhaps the speed of my advancement to the late Integration stage can be boosted even further. . . ”
He cultivated the Earth Immortal Way, and his cultivation was tied to the development of his Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm.
By consuming large amounts of Immortal Jade, and even by helping to expand the Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm and enrich its spiritual plants, all contributed to the realm's growth!
A smile played on Fang Xi's lips as he first picked up a set of five formation flags.
“The Five-Colored Cloud Banner, it's considered a quasi-eighth-rank treasure, containing the Dao of formations. I can use it now. . . ”
“And a seventh-rank inner core, which can be used to refine pills and hone my alchemy skills. . . ”
“The Divine Dao Incarnation was too ruthless; many treasures and materials were pulverized into dust. . . ”
“Especially the Blood Demon Ancestor who was at the perfected Integration stage; he must have had many good things on him. ”
Fang Xi felt a twinge of regret, then recalled that the Blood Demon Ancestor's avatar technique was actually restrained by the Law of Destruction, and couldn't help but feel awestruck.
“If a Mahayana cultivator practices the power of destruction, it is possible for them to directly destroy all avatars through the avatar connection. ”
“The Divine Dao Incarnation is an Emperor; after being ‘empowered’, it had merely grasped the rudiments of the Law of Destruction. It originally intended to annihilate all of the Blood Demon Ancestor's perfected Integration stage avatars, but was still somewhat lacking in power. . . ”
“But with the added amplification from an Immortal Abode Rare Treasure, the situation immediately changed. The Blood Demon Ancestor, who prided himself on having tens of thousands of avatars, was completely doomed this time. . . ”
Fang Xi thought of the previous Ephemeral Avatar; clearly, that human Mahayana cultivator surnamed Bu, was definitely not primarily cultivating the Law of Destruction, nor did he possess an Immortal Abode Rare Treasure, which was why one of the Ephemeral Avatar's manifestations managed to escape. . .
‘It now seems that if the Divine Dao Incarnation doesn't use an Immortal Abode Rare Treasure, it ranks at the bottom among Mahayana cultivators. . . After all, it's only a quasi-Mahayana. But after using an Immortal Abode Rare Treasure, it can be considered quite formidable. ’
‘Once its divine power is fully replenished and paired with an Immortal Abode Rare Treasure, I wonder if it could even rank among the top Mahayana cultivators? ’
‘Perhaps not. . . After all, I haven't seen a true Mahayana powerhouse make a move. . . ’
‘But at the very least, suppressing ordinary Mahayana cultivators shouldn't be much of a problem. ’
‘Looking at it this way. . . perhaps all the grudges that need settling, and all the people who deserve to die. . . should be put on the list one by one. ’
Fang Xi's eyes lit up as he began to scheme in his mind, thinking of the cultivators “on the list”. . .
