Chapter 892: Rescue
Chapter 892: Rescue
Outside the Seven Treasures Secret Realm.
Golden pillars, each a hundred zhang tall, stood erect, subtly forming the shape of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams.
Engraved upon each golden pillar were the names of various deities, their divine power overflowing, clearly indicating them to be of the Heavenly Monarch level. . .
"The opening patterns of the Seven Treasures Secret Realm have been mastered by us. . ."
Ghost Axe Venerable led the way, explaining to Fang Xi, "Through these 'Spirit-Activating Divine Pillars', we can forcefully open or close it. . . However, the repulsive force encountered upon entering the secret realm still hasn't been resolved. . ."
Witnessing this scene, Fang Xi couldn't help but feel a little speechless.
He possessed the All-Heavens Precious Mirror, allowing him to come and go freely within the Seven Treasures Secret Realm long ago, so naturally, he didn't need such trouble.
But his subordinates were unaware of this.
It wasn't to exhaust the resources through indiscriminate plundering, but rather to assess the environment and then allocate them reasonably.
As a result, they truly found a flaw in the Seven Treasures Secret Realm.
Although it was a secret realm of the Immortal Abode level, having operated for too long and sustained multiple damages, it was normal for it to have more flaws.
As for the repulsive force?
It was naturally the Seven Treasures Secret Realm's rule prohibiting cultivators above the Return to Void realm from entering.
This was one of the core restrictions of the Immortal Abode, which the Kyushu School had yet to decipher.
Even so, the Kyushu School had dispatched a large number of Return to Void cultivators and deities to cultivate and conduct scientific research within the Seven Treasures Secret Realm.
Currently, there were already many special outputs.
Apart from a few sparsely scattered areas covered by restrictions, most of it had already been explored.
Fang Xi took the map transmitted by Tumo Venerable and couldn't help but laugh lightly, "Besides the core Xuanjing Wall, the Seven Treasures Palace hasn't been deciphered yet? Fine. . . I'll take care of it all this time."
"May the Dao Master achieve swift success."
Ghost Axe and Tumo Venerable exchanged glances, each forming hand seals with one hand and chanting obscure incantations.
Jingle-jingle!
The sound of the ritual bells rang out in the nearby void, reverberating far away.
On each of the golden pillars, divine patterns lit up, as if coming to life, transforming into majestic and powerful deities.
A golden command banner appeared in Ghost Axe Venerable's hand; with a mere shake, the void trembled and a golden rift tore open.
Tumo Venerable let out a low shout, and a giant golden pestle appeared, striking the golden rift fiercely.
Boom!
Amidst the dazzling golden aura, the rift shimmered with iridescent light, numerous runes flashed, expanding outwards.
The rift thus widened, allowing one to vaguely discern the scenery within.
"The Seven Treasures Secret Realm has opened."
Fang Xi smiled faintly, "You two, follow me in."
"Understood, please wait a moment, Dao Master, we shall change into our battle armor. . ."
Ghost Axe and Tumo replied respectfully.
"No need for such trouble, let's go in."
Fang Xi let out a hearty laugh, sweeping his large sleeve. The two great cultivators, wearing their Shinto battle armor and possessing cultivation comparable to Void Amalgamation, had not the slightest power to resist, and were swept into a green rainbow, entering the Seven Treasures Secret Realm.
Inside the Seven Treasures Secret Realm.
The figures of Fang Xi and the other two appeared.
Heaven and Earth trembled!
The power of the secret realm surged down, attempting to repel Fang Xi.
After all, he was already a Mahayana cultivator! Far exceeding the limits set by the Seven Treasures Secret Realm!
Rumble-rumble!
Dark clouds gathered, and even purple Heavenly Abode Divine Lightning flashed, its wisps of destructive aura causing the faces of Ghost Axe and Tumo Venerable to change drastically.
Facing all of this, Fang Xi simply formed a hand seal with one hand.
Emerald-green runes flickered, and an emerald-like halo spread out.
The Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm rapidly expanded, its range and power far surpassing before.
Buzzing!
Under the influence of this emerald-like greenery, the dark clouds in the sky quickly dispersed.
The repulsive force within the void mysteriously vanished.
"What divine ability, Dao Master. . ."
Ghost Axe Venerable praised with a smile, "Such a secret art is simply unheard of. . ."
The might of a Mahayana cultivator, they had long seen in their records, and had even used artificial intelligence to simulate the aura and spiritual energy fluctuations of a Mahayana cultivator.
But Fang Xi's method of nullifying the power of heaven and earth still surpassed their imagination.
"This place. . . is well managed."
Fang Xi's divine consciousness swept out, covering most of the secret realm. Many powerful desolate beasts were terrified and prostrated themselves on the ground, daring not to move an inch.
At the same time, he saw numerous ecological cultivation bases and high-grade spirit rice paddies.
An astonishing number of Return to Void cultivators and Earth Gods were diligently patrolling the various resource points. . .
"Enough, let's head to the Seven Treasures Palace first."
He transformed into a streak of escape light, his escape speed simply incredible. In an instant, he arrived before the Seven Treasures Palace.
A rainbow-like seven-colored restriction firmly sealed the palace.
"This Seven Treasures Palace is one of the most precious resource points within the Seven Treasures Secret Realm, possessing the Seven Treasures Gourd Vine. . ."
Ghost Axe Venerable explained, "We also tried to decipher it before, but without complete certainty, we dared not act. . ."
If they accidentally destroyed the Seven Treasures Gourd Vine, many people in the Kyushu Realm would be heartbroken to death.
Even if Ghost Axe's prestige was higher, it would still be very troublesome.
After all, this was a valuable resource for breaking through to Void Amalgamation! Moreover, the Seven Treasures Gourd Vine was an extremely rare spiritual plant on the verge of extinction!
In the Kyushu Realm, the concept of ecological cycle cultivation was emphasized. If a cultivator were accused of causing the extinction of an extremely rare spiritual root, they would have to go to prison.
Although this place was not in the Kyushu Realm, Ghost Axe Venerable still held himself to strict standards."No matter!"
Fang Xi chuckled lightly. His current attainments in formation arts were among the best even when considering the entire Earthly Immortal World.
Especially after delving into the profound mysteries of immortal arrays, this seven-colored restriction now seemed like nothing to him.
With a word, Fang Xi slightly opened his mouth, and a green Life-Bound Spirit Fire emerged, landing on the seven-colored restriction and immediately blazing fiercely.
How terrifying was the Origin Fire after Nascent Soul perfection?
The numerous restrictions immediately flashed with dazzling light, possessing a materialized luster, like pieces of glazed glass.
Spiritual light flickered continuously in Fang Xi's eyes as he flicked a finger.
Streaks of Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light flew out, suddenly transforming into countless fine needles.
These were the 'Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light Needles' condensed by him using Mahayana-level immortal elemental power!
Even a single one was enough to take the life of a Void Amalgamation cultivator!
And at this moment, green flying needles densely packed the area, their number certainly more than a hundred thousand?
"Go!"
He let out a soft cry, and green needles, like ox hairs, flew out, landing in various minute spots of the array, instantly sealing all qi circulation!
Crack!
The glazed seven-colored restriction trembled abruptly, and then a crack appeared.
This crack seemed to spread like an infection, continuously expanding, until the restriction shattered inch by inch like a glass mirror, revealing the towering palace behind it.
Within the palace, there was also a layer of seven-colored soil.
"Seven Treasures Glazed Soil, a top-tier earth-attribute material. . ."
Tumo Venerable's eyes lit up.
With a wave of Fang Xi's hand, a large green hand descended. The various seven-colored restrictions shattered with a crash, and most of the spiritual soil was collected.
The three continued without stopping, arriving at the depths of the Seven Treasures Palace.
There, they saw a jade pool constructed from immortal jade, with golden seal script flickering upon it, though mostly incomplete and blurred. . .
Beside the pool, there was a gourd vine, its gourds small and exquisite, appearing quite unripe.
"The Seven Treasures Gourd Vine. . . The restrictions here are entirely interconnected, so destroying one destroys them all. Yet, the Dao Master locked all qi circulation, making them impossible to maintain. . . Wonderful, truly ineffably wonderful."
Ghost Axe Venerable sighed repeatedly.
This Fang Xian Dao Master was probably the person with the highest cultivation, formation arts, and even other skills in the history of the Kyushu Realm!
Fang Xi said no more, simply opening his Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm.
A tremendous suction force appeared, falling upon the white jade pool and the adjacent gourd vine.
"Sever!"
A streak of Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light flew out, transforming into an exceedingly sharp flying sword, carving a circle around the pool.
This immortal pool, along with the gourd vine and the nearby spiritual soil, was entirely cut out in one piece and flew into the Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm, disappearing from sight.
Although this Seven Treasures Gourd Vine was not of much use to his current Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm, Fang Xi was still accustomed to increasing his own foundation.
Furthermore, by ripening the Seven Treasures Gourd Vine with Myriad Wood Mother Qi, the Seven Treasures Gourds it produced would have many wondrous uses.
At the very least, in the future, that 'Innate Pristine Qi' purple gourd could continuously produce its contents, aiding cultivators at Return to Void Perfection in breaking through to Void Amalgamation!
"You two, pack up the remaining spiritual materials. . ."
The remaining scraps were naturally for the Kyushu School, a gift from Fang Xi.
Ghost Axe and Tumo exchanged glances, respectfully assenting, though feeling a mix of amusement and helplessness in their hearts.
This Dao Master was good in every way, except his way of doing things had a slight 'ancient cultivator' flavor. . . it was simply as if the heavens were three feet too low for him. . .
If it were them, they would certainly designate this place a nature reserve and then replace all the restrictions.
Anyway, most of the Seven Treasures Secret Realm was now occupied by the Kyushu School; sending another team to look after it seemed to be no problem.
Of course, they also knew that if they did so, the Seven Treasures Gourd Vine would become public property of the Kyushu School.
But Fang Xi had now taken it into his private possession.
However, the other party was the Dao Master, and what he said went. Although the two cultivators were scientific research magnates, they were both very compliant.
...
Outside the Xuanjing Wall.
"This place should be the core of the secret realm. Unfortunately, if restricted to only being able to exert power below the Void Amalgamation stage, it would be extremely difficult to break through this crystal wall."
Ghost Axe Venerable gazed at the crystalline wall, introducing it to Fang Xi.
Of course, even if they could break it, they would be somewhat reluctant.
After all, a crystal wall condensed from the laws of void and time was entirely worth thorough research by the Kyushu School.
Fang Xi discovered a Kyushu School research base in another direction, where most of the cultivators were of the Return to Void level!
He had no intention of inspecting their work, simply clenching his right hand.
The Fifth-Generation Green Reaping Sword appeared, falling into his palm. After being infused with immortal elemental power, it let out a clear, melodious sword cry.
"Let's go!"
Pfft!
A crescent-shaped emerald green radiance flashed. Wherever it passed, the Xuanjing Wall parted, revealing a straight passage leading into the interior.
Even wisps of law power were subtly embedded into both sides, preventing the Xuanjing Wall from regenerating.
...
Deep within the Immortal Abode, a small pavilion was uniquely designed. Inside, there were potted plants, a jade zither, paintbrushes, tea sets. . . Every item exuded an extraordinary aura, seemingly belonging to an immortal.
Outside the small pavilion, however, stood an ice mountain, its periphery entwined with five-colored chains.
Within the ice mountain, Shen Suanzi suddenly opened his eyes: "Someone's here. . . This aura is familiar, it must be that Return to Void junior. . . Haha, junior, you've finally arrived! My True Spirit Phoenix feather, it is—"
The next instant, his eyes bulged, and his mouth hung open, unable to utter a single word for a long time. . .
