Chapter 911: Drawing Near (Bonus Chapter for Subscriptions)
"The North Star Immortal Domain is boundless. To the west lies the Buddhist sect's Western Paradise Profound World, and to the east is the Vast Sea Immortal Domain. . . The south and north are vaguely described, likely involving some taboo."
"The overlord of this Immortal Domain is the 'North Star Immortal Palace. ' It controls an 'Immortal Cleansing Pool. ' Legend has it that every Immortal Domain corresponds to countless Middle Thousand Worlds, and True Immortals who ascend from these regions will appear in the 'Immortal Cleansing Pool,' where they condense an immortal body, break through to the True Immortal realm, and the vast majority then naturally join the North Star Immortal Palace, becoming a cornerstone of the Immortal Palace. . ."
Fang Xi quickly skimmed the beginning of the *North Star Geography* and then saw a passage in *Immortal Mengxi's Travelogue*, which caused his heart to jolt.
"So. . . my clandestine ascension might mean I've lost an opportunity to join the 'North Star Immortal Palace'?"
"Judging solely from Immortal Mengxi's records, the North Star Immortal Palace is also an unbelievably vast and powerful force, definitely far surpassing the likes of the Divine Wood Palace. . ."
"However, my main body can still ascend once after the nine tribulations. . ."
But this was just a casual thought; he didn't dare to ascend in such a way, taking a trip through the Immortal Cleansing Pool.
After all, he walked the 'Earth Immortal Way,' not the path of an ordinary True Immortal.
Furthermore, most of those True Immortals joining the North Star Immortal Palace made him wonder if there was something fishy going on.
If he couldn't clarify these matters, Fang Xi would rather simply smuggle himself in. At worst, he'd continue to be a Rogue Cultivator!
"In the True Immortal World, True Immortals seem quite extraordinary. . ."
"Then, in the Earthly Immortal World, with so many Immortal Abode Secret Realms and even Earth Immortal inheritances, their origins are quite suspicious. . ."
"Could it be some cliched Immortal Realm War, where many immortals perished, and their immortal caves just happened to crash near those Middle Thousand Worlds?"
His thoughts raced. Fang Xi smiled faintly and said to Yan Yu, "I've made my choice. I'll take the *North Star Geography* and *Immortal Mengxi's Travelogue*."
"Alright, that will be thirty-seven Immortal Jade."
Yan Yu giggled, patting the odd-looking book.
Two streaks of light flew out, landing between Fang Xi's brows.
Fang Xi immediately felt a wealth of text and images added to his Sea of Consciousness, firmly memorized and impossible to forget—precisely the contents of those two immortal abode jade scrolls.
"Shopkeeper, doing business this way, aren't you afraid I'd just run off?"
His expression was a little strange.
"The Ten Thousand Books Pavilion has always conducted business with integrity. This humble one trusts Senior."
Yan Yu replied with a giggle.
Fang Xi was slightly speechless, then withdrew his Divine Consciousness.
Within the quietly elegant and tastefully arranged Ten Thousand Books Pavilion.
Fang Xi had remained perfectly clear-headed. At this moment, he subtly extended his hand and recalled that wisp of Divine Consciousness.
"Yawn. . ."
Just then, Yan Yu also woke up.
Without another word, he swept his hand across the tabletop, and thirty-seven neatly stacked pieces of Immortal Jade appeared.
"Payment received, goods delivered. I'll take my leave."
Fang Xi cupped his fist and walked out of the Ten Thousand Books Pavilion.
Outside the pavilion, Yi Xi held an ancient scroll, swaying his head as he read.
Seeing Fang Xi emerge, he immediately smiled. "Did Senior achieve your wishes?"
"Indeed, quite good. . ."
Fang Xi nodded and tossed an Immortal Jade over.
"Thank you for the senior's generosity."
Yi Xi immediately took the Immortal Jade with a joyful expression, wiped it on his clothes, and then, with eyes gleaming, tucked it into his sleeve.
'In an instant, this scholar's pretense was completely broken. . . '
Fang Xi complained inwardly, then had Yi Xi lead him around, specifically visiting an artifact shop where he saw some incomplete Immortal Abode Rare Treasures for sale.
Of course, in the True Immortal World, ordinary Immortal Abode Rare Treasures were collectively referred to as 'Immortal Artifacts. '
"Senior, this Immortal Artifact, the 'Blazing Bird Furnace,' is more than 50% damaged, yet it's being sold for a hundred thousand Immortal Jade. It's simply robbery. . ."
Yi Xi waited until Fang Xi had stepped out before secretly transmitting a message: "This artifact shop has no intention of genuinely selling it; it's completely a gimmick, just meant to be displayed as their prized treasure. . ."
"So that's how it is."
Fang Xi silently gained an understanding of the prices in the True Immortal World, then took the lead in walking out of the Black Marsh Market. "Thank you for your help today, young friend. . ."
Even after he paid, Yi Xi diligently continued his job as a guide.
Setting everything else aside, his professional attitude was certainly up to standard.
"Not at all, not at all. If Senior comes again in the future, please remember this junior. That would be this junior's greatest fortune. May Senior's immortal dao be evergreen. . ."
Yi Xi bowed deeply. "This junior, Yi Xi, Sect Master of the 'Qiyun Gate,' respectfully bids Senior farewell."
"Sect Master?"
Fang Xi's steps didn't falter as he transformed into a streak of light and flew away.
Given Yi Xi's low cultivation, how pathetic must that sect be?
Likely, it was just like the weeds by the roadside?
So the sects in the True Immortal World were this cutthroat, that even a dignified sect master had fallen so low as to be a greeter?
...
Earthly Immortal World.
Ancient Demon Domain.
Roar! Roar!
Accompanied by an earth-shattering beast roar, a Jiuchi race member emerged.
Chaotic qi overflowed from its body, and with a sudden flicker, various phantoms appeared around it, unleashing different secret treasures and divine abilities.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Qing Xu Tong Zi held the Wind Fire Fan, and streaks of Heavenly Gang Wind sliced through the air, shattering numerous phantoms.
Following this, the true form of a Jiuchi race member materialized, and a pale yellow light orb appeared in its mouth.
Terrifying spiritual pressure overflowed. Inside the light orb, countless runes flickered, and with Di Zun's furious roar, it flashed and instantly smashed towards Qing Xu Tong Zi.
Qing Xu Tong Zi's expression was extremely solemn. He continuously muttered incantations, then tossed out a stack of formation flags.
Amidst a dazzling display of five colors, a colossal bronze gate stood proudly.
The pale yellow light orb crashed into the gate. The radiance of both intertwined and devoured each other. . . eventually vanishing without a trace.
"Devour!"
Qing Xu Tong Zi swept his Divine Consciousness, seeing that in the other two battle groups, Che Xuan Yuan and Bu Xing Da Cheng had already fallen into a complete disadvantage.
Especially Che Xuan Yuan, who was hard-pressed against Di Ling, who wielded the 'Twin Jiaolong Blades. '
If not for the 'Void Mirror' protecting his body, his life and death would have been unpredictable.
His expression immediately turned cold as he rapidly formed a hand seal.
In the void, phantoms of the Wind Fire Fan appeared, fanning out pale green threads.
These threads of law appeared fragile and weak, yet they carried terrifying devouring power. Even the chaotic qi was devoured by the threads of law, and wherever they passed, it seemed all Heaven and Earth primordial energy completely vanished.
"Wind Devour Art? !"
Di Zun roared. A pair of its wings were pierced by the pale green threads of law, immediately corroding into large holes.
"Run!"
Just as it still intended to linger, it heard a cry of alarm from Di Ling.
Di Zun swept its Divine Consciousness and couldn't help but dramatically change its expression: "Are the Demon race all idiots? The Myriad Demon Grand Array was broken so easily. . ."
Not far away, a vast Demon race military formation shattered with a roar, accompanied by the wails of countless Demon race members.
Whoosh!
An emerald-like giant sword broke out of the formation, revealing Fang Xi's figure.
His ten fingers rapidly pointed, and streaks of Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light descended. Each one could easily take the life of an Integration stage demon cultivator.
"The Demon race, they really understand me. . ."
Fang Xi muttered, a light flashing in his hand as the Qing He Sword (Fifth Generation) emerged.
He and the human race's three Mahayana cultivators had charged into the Ancient Demon Domain, searching for the whereabouts of the Time Pond. They had encountered fierce resistance nearby, clearly having found the right place.
The Demon race knew he possessed an instant death divine ability, so they were unwilling to send Mahayana True Spirits to their deaths. Instead, they used the Myriad Demon Grand Array to entangle him.
The way of formations could inherently allow the weak to overcome the strong.
Not to mention, with a pile of Integration stage demon cultivators blocking the way, Fang Xi using his Supreme Pole Star Life-Ending Divine Light to kill any of them would be like using an ox-cleaver to slaughter a chicken.
Alright. . .
Mainly, he broke the formation too quickly, and disdained to use that heaven-defying divine ability.
"Sever!"
Fang Xi's sword descended, a crescent-shaped emerald sword light sweeping across the void.
Threads of law pierced through various high-tier Demon race members, cutting them down like grass.
Chirp!
A nine-headed yellow bird let out a mournful cry. Five of its heads were severed, and it transformed into a streak of blood light, quickly retreating.
Facing such a weakling, Fang Xi was too lazy to use his divine light. Instead, he turned and struck with a sword.
Clang!
The sound of the sword's hum grew loud.
An emerald-green sword qi traversed a thousand li, striking a two-headed strange flood dragon.
This flood dragon, with its silver scales and bizarre appearance, was opening its gaping maw, preparing to unleash various innate divine abilities to bite Che Xuan Yuan.
At this moment, it could only let out a furious roar, turning to crash into that sword qi.
Roar! Roar!
Amidst the dragon's roar, the two-headed flood dragon suddenly transformed into a grotesquely shaped strange blade, erupting with sky-shattering saber light that entangled with the sword light.
"Many thanks for your assistance, My Lord."
Che Xuan Yuan, with a single hand gesture, summoned countless silver heavenly flowers to encircle his body, retreating backward.
He was originally no match for Di Ling, and even more so when the opponent also possessed an Immortal Abode Rare Treasure. He had fallen into a disadvantage after just a few exchanges.
If Fang Xi's assistance had been any slower, he might have been directly shattered by Di Ling, suffering severe vital essence damage once again.
"Don't mention it."
Fang Xi swept his Divine Consciousness across the battlefield, knowing that the nine-headed yellow bird had already fled, and the three brothers of the Di family had fled in different directions the moment they saw him.
"Since you're already here, why leave?"
He smiled faintly, the jet-black Life and Death Seal appearing in his hand as he looked at Di Ling: "That yellow bird doesn't even have the qualifications to die by this move of mine, but you barely suffice!"
Swish!
The phantom image of the Ancestor Demonic Tree unfurled, and the Supreme Pole Star Life-Ending Divine Light flashed and vanished in an instant.
Di Ling instantly lost all life aura, its corpse falling from mid-air.
The Twin Jiaolong Blades, having lost their master, greatly diminished in spiritual light. They were entangled by streaks of Green Wood Divine Light, like evil dragons bound by heavenly chains, finally letting out a mournful cry as they fell into Fang Xi's hand.
'Immortal Abode Rare Treasures in the True Immortal World seem quite valuable. This one is at least complete; it should be worth a good amount of Immortal Jade. . . '
'Plundering resources from the Earthly Immortal World to serve one person should allow one to live quite comfortably in the True Immortal World at least. . . '
'Of course, I still need to cleanse my background. . . '
He played with the Twin Jiaolong Blades for a bit, then casually put them into his Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm, transmitting a message to Qing Xu Tong Zi and Bu Xing Da Cheng: "I want the remaining two alive."
Although the Supreme Pole Star Life-Ending Divine Light was effective, if enemies died with a single swipe and their Nascent Souls dispersed, how could he refine 'Myriad Tribulation Puppets'?
"What?"
"Di Ling, unexpectedly. . . ?"
Di Zun and Di Shi exchanged a glance, then fled in different directions without a word.
Even though they already knew how terrifying Qing He Zi's divine abilities were, the strongest among them, Di Ling, had met its end without any power to retaliate. It was utterly shocking!
