Chapter 927: Return to the Earthly Immortal World
Fengyuan Chamber of Commerce.
This force primarily engaged in trade, with its influence spreading throughout the North Star Immortal Domain.
As Fang Xi entered the establishment, he saw Huang Jing approaching him, a professional smile gracing his face: "Greetings, esteemed guest. What may I help you purchase today?"
"Breakthrough Pills!"
"Please, esteemed guest, to the private room."
Huang Jing immediately led Fang Xi to a private room, laughing as he said, "My dear brother, you are truly blessed! The 'Six Flowers Immortal Tea' served in this private room is so exquisite that I, your elder brother, only get to enjoy a few sips thanks to your presence. . ."
"If Daoist Brother enjoys it, I can come more often," Fang Xi chuckled.
Huang Jing shook his head repeatedly, "If a VIP room is opened and the treatment given doesn't result in a transaction, the punishments in the Hall are severe. It's simply not worth it, truly not worth it. . . Speaking of which, you're quite lucky."
"A Celestial Immortal legacy unearthed, what does that have to do with this? " Fang Xi asked, somewhat puzzled.
"That Celestial Immortal mystic realm is a legacy-type realm, suspected to have been set up by the Yuanli Celestial Immortal herself to find a successor. . ."
Huang Jing elaborated: "To speak of successors, it's best to cultivate them from scratch. Upon reaching Mahayana, one's foundation is somewhat set, making them not entirely ideal. . . Many talented Perfected Integration stage cultivators in this city, who had hopes of breaking through to Mahayana, have given up their recent breakthrough plans and instead gone to the Celestial Immortal mystic realm to try their luck. Changing one's foundation before Mahayana is still relatively smoother. . . As a result, the demand for breakthrough pills has sharply decreased. Haven't you, my dear brother, just caught a good opportunity?"
"Haha. . ."
Fang Xi burst into laughter: "So that's how it is. I, myself, don't harbor such extravagant hopes. . ."
"Please wait a moment. . ."
Huang Jing left the private room and, not long after, returned carrying a tray.
On the tray sat a translucent jade bottle.
He softly chanted a spell, causing the stopper to open. A clear fragrance wafted out, and within the swirling mist, a peculiar pill materialized.
This pill was half-black and half-white, appearing unremarkable, yet strands of pill qi continuously emanated from it, forming the scene of six immortals lecturing.
Though no sound was heard, a mysterious Dao rhyme circulated.
"Dao rhyme?"
Fang Xi's expression subtly changed: "We cultivate the immortal path, True Immortals cultivate the Dao. . . This pill carries Dao rhyme, it truly is an immortal pill refined by a True Immortal."
"Precisely so. True Immortal-level alchemists are as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns; only our Hall still has one."
Huang Jing said proudly: "For True Immortals who seek eternal life, pills that merely boost spiritual power are of little use. . . what they need is the Dao rhyme contained within the pills, which can temper their Great Dao, comprehend laws, and enhance their Dao cultivation. . . Thus, what's needed after reaching the True Immortal realm are 'Dao Cultivation Pills', which are exceedingly precious!"
A trace of longing also appeared on Fang Xi's face.
According to his accumulated experience, True Immortal-level alchemists were indeed major figures in the North Star Immortal Domain.
In addition, artifact refiners who mastered 'Primordial Spirit Law-seals' and could refine Immortal Abode Rare Treasures, or Immortal Artifacts, were also highly sought after. Formation masters were likewise in demand.
Only True Immortal-level talisman masters still remained at the bottom of the Four Immortal Cultivation Arts.
"Excellent, indeed a fine pill."
Fang Xi examined it carefully, a smile playing on his lips. With a touch of his Item-Storing Talisman, a small mountain of Immortal Jade appeared.
Huang Jing was accustomed to Fang Xi inspecting the goods, and instead felt that the man was meticulous in his dealings.
At this point, he too began to quickly count the Immortal Jade.
"All right, money and goods settled."
After the transaction was complete, Huang Jing asked with some concern, "Brother, when do you plan to attempt the Mahayana breakthrough? Have you secured a secluded cultivation spot and tribulation-passing items?"
A secluded cultivation spot was easy enough to find, as long as it was safe.
There were long-term rental cave-dwellings in Blazing Sun Immortal City, though Fang Xi had no intention of using one.
However, tribulation-passing items were far rarer and harder to obtain than the 'Six Immortals Transference Pill'.
Many cultivators, even those confident in breaking through the Mahayana bottleneck, dared not do so for fear of inner demons and the Wind, Fire, and Thunder Tribulations!
"I must at least try."
Fang Xi answered with a firm Dao heart.
The power of each individual's Mahayana Immortal Tribulation varied. There were those who were fully prepared yet ultimately turned to tribulation ashes, and there were also those who blindly stumbled through and succeeded.
He first purchased a breakthrough pill. When his main body arrived later, he could simply say he had successfully undergone tribulation, and who would be able to deny it?
As for his External Avatar undergoing tribulation?
Fang Xi truly wasn't very confident.
In the True Immortal World, Mahayana-level tribulation-passing secret arts and treasures were quite rare.
Ordinary Immortal Talismans and True Talismans, like Immortal Abode Rare Treasures, would generally stimulate the lightning tribulation, causing its power to surge.
Only a few special lightning-transforming talismans had some effect, but their prices were far higher than the 'Six Immortals Transference Pill', and they were extremely rare and virtually unobtainable.
In reality, with the All-Heavens Precious Mirror protecting him, Fang Xi wasn't overly concerned about the lightning tribulation.
As for spirit items beneficial for the Mahayana Inner Demon Tribulation, he could always find them if he searched carefully in the True Immortal World!
What truly worried him was the life-bound demonic tribulation!
While the Heavenly Demon Seizing Foundation Art was cruel, there were still demonic cultivators from Orthodox Heavenly Demon Sects in the lower realms who successfully advanced to Mahayana, indicating a sliver of hope.
However, no demonic cultivator who practiced the 'Myriad Manifestations True Demon Arts' had ever advanced to Mahayana. This clearly indicated that this particular life-bound demonic tribulation was exceptionally fierce, and the Heavenly Demon Seizing Foundation was incredibly difficult to overcome.
If he underwent tribulation in the True Immortal World, it might even attract the Heavenly Demon's true form.
Perhaps, it wouldn't even be a Heavenly Demon, but a Demon Monarch!
'I must slowly gather spirit items for resolving inner demons and tribulation-passing treasures, then attempt to undergo tribulation in a lower realm. . . '
...
Earthly Immortal World.
Tianyuan City.
This place was now known as the human race's foremost sacred land. Cultivators arrived in vast numbers every moment, connecting with the Heaven-Connecting Spirit Tablet to receive missions, exchange items. . .
There were even instances of entire major sects relocating here to work for Fang Xi.
"The human race's vitality. . . seems to have recovered quite a bit."
With a flash of silver light, Fang Xi's External Avatar appeared deep within a sky-blue palace.
He looked up and saw the expressionless 'East Florescence Supreme Profound True Endless Green Great Emperor', seated on a dragon throne, like a high and mighty Heavenly Emperor, gazing down upon the sentient beings of the Earthly Immortal World.
That's right!
Ever since quelling the chaos in the Earthly Immortal World, Fang Xi had left his Shinto Avatar in Tianyuan City to manage all affairs on his behalf and deter petty schemers.
If not for this, in a few thousand or tens of thousands of years, the area around the Heaven-Connecting Spirit Tablet might well have been occupied by major forces, making it incredibly difficult for rogue cultivators to communicate with the 'Many Treasures Heavenly King'.
In truth, these efforts were largely superfluous.
Having comprehended the All-Heavens Precious Mirror, Fang Xi had already prepared to refine sub-tablets with void abilities, and even decentralize this function to every permission jade token.
By then, as long as cultivators were in the Earthly Immortal World, they could conduct transactions with the 'Many Treasures Heavenly King with a single thought, even listing items, entrusting sales, and transmitting various spirit items. . .
'Like this, it will become the largest logistics and auction company in the Earthly Immortal World. . . Raking in profits, absolutely raking in profits. . . '
'Actually, none of that truly matters. After all, it's already a monopoly, so I can earn however I please. . . '
The External Avatar mused, recalling the intelligence gathered during this period.
Then, with a flip of his hand, the jade bottle containing the 'Six Immortals Transference Pill' landed in the Shinto Emperor's grasp.
"This item. . . I will place it within the Heaven-Connecting Spirit Tablet."
"At that time, we shall see who is fated to exchange for this pill. . ."
"My human race must unify the Earthly Immortal World. The more Mahayana cultivators, the better. Currently, there are still too few, far too few. . ."
The Shinto Avatar sighed faintly.
Of course, within the bounds of his authority, the few individuals he favored would certainly receive preferential treatment.
Whether they could break through to Mahayana would depend on their own destiny.
The External Avatar nodded, then vanished with another flash of silver light.
When he reappeared, he was already on Trapped Sky Island!
This Immortal Abode Secret Realm had now been thoroughly transformed, becoming Fang Xi's stronghold.
This island now roamed through the great void, and having controlled the core hub of its formation, it had naturally long since concluded its 'Realm Descent' with the Earthly Immortal World.
Meanwhile, Fang Xi's main body had been enjoying a tranquil life here all this time.
Inside the secluded cultivation chamber.
Fang Xi's main body sat cross-legged, a primordial spirit emerging from within him, looking exactly like an ordinary person.
Upon him, the two colors of Withered and Glory circulated, suddenly transforming into black and white intertwined power of life and death laws.
Threads of law condensed, forming a somewhat illusory Dao Seed prototype.
"Dao Seed, Dao Monarch. . ."
"Illusory Dao Seed prototype, illusory Dao Seed, Dao Seed. . ."
Fang Xi murmured, a smile gracing his lips as he sensed the arrival of his External Avatar.
Although the Earthly Immortal World was pacified, he never underestimated his enemies.
There were countless miraculous arts and secret techniques in the cultivation world; it was always possible for something specifically designed to target him to cause him great loss!
Constantly being in the open made it easy for others to thoroughly study him, inevitably revealing some flaws.
This was the so-called "It's lonely at the top! "
Therefore, his main body decided to go into reclusive hiding, leaving only a Shinto Avatar in the outside world to serve as a target.
With the All-Heavens Precious Mirror, it was even more convenient for Fang Xi to control the overall situation.
Furthermore, with this supreme treasure protecting him, even if his avatar were destroyed by laws of destruction, his main body would not be implicated, allowing him sufficient time to react.
"Finally. . . am I truly going to the True Immortal World?"
Fang Xi's primordial spirit returned to his main body, a smile appearing on his lips.
"Perfect, the Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm has also been completely relocated. . ."
His Divine Consciousness swept unimpeded, revealing that the mortal kingdom and even some cultivation sects within the Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm were now completely empty.
Since he was preparing to go to the True Immortal World, Fang Xi naturally had to make arrangements for the sentient beings within his spiritual realm well in advance.
Unlike his stealthy entry into the Earthly Immortal World, based on previous experiments, any living sentient beings smuggled into the True Immortal World would inevitably be suppressed by the power of laws and reduced to dust!
He wanted to go stealthily, but he didn't want to kill anyone. Therefore, during this period, he had been continuously transferring the beings from the Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm to Trapped Sky Island.
Now, apart from spirit plants and some low-tier spirit beasts, the Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm only contained a large number of Divine Bean Dao Soldiers and puppets diligently working.
Even Green Horned Dragon, Little Green, Little Profound Turtle, Taisui, and the Four Wood Bird Stars. . . had all been dispatched elsewhere.
"Actually. . . the Earth Immortal legacy originates from the True Immortal World, so it might have some resistance to the world's inherent power, perhaps allowing me to carry living beings with me during ascension. . ."
"This time, I'll still bring a few unfortunate souls along as test subjects."
Fang Xi's expression showed a thoughtful look.
