Chapter 950: Three Purities Converging into One (Seeking Monthly Votes at Month's End)
“Earth Immortal Undying, Eternal Life Everlasting! ”
Fang Xi saw these eight characters at the beginning of the secret art and couldn't help but smile faintly, feeling the author was making quite a grand claim.
However, as he continued to read, his expression gradually turned solemn.
“This ‘Earth Immortal Undying Art’ is actually a public secret art that all Earth Immortals can cultivate. . . once achieved, one becomes virtually undying and imperishable! ”
“Of course, cultivating it is extremely difficult! Many conditions are very stringent and incredibly hard to fulfill. . . ”
He meticulously studied and comprehended it, immediately gaining some understanding of this ‘Earth Immortal Undying Art’.
This Dao technique was deduced and simulated by a senior grand cultivator based on the ultimate state of an Earth Immortal, the act of creating a world.
It is said that when an Earth Immortal cultivates to the very end, they can evolve a myriad of heavens!
From then on, they become the master of those heavens; as long as the heavens remain, even if the Earth Immortal perishes, they will quickly be reborn within that very realm of heavens!
It is a supreme life-preserving secret art!
The specific method of cultivation involves finding a Lesser Thousand World or a Middle Thousand World, then employing various secret arts to refine its World Origin.
Thus, it would almost be equivalent to an Earth Immortal’s personal realm of heavens, possessing nearly the same effect.
Of course, this sounds easy in words, but it is extremely difficult to achieve. The backlash from the laws of heaven and earth alone would be enough to wipe out ninety-nine percent of True Immortals.
Only Earth Immortals who cultivate the power of a Spirit Domain might be able to counteract such a backlash of laws!
At the same time, refining the World Origin requires a prolonged process, and during this lengthy process, one can easily incur the hostility, or even the siege and annihilation, of high-level native cultivators!
One could say they become an enemy of the world!
Even at the final crucial moment, it is highly possible for Sons of Destiny to temporarily unleash their full potential, or even use the power of heavenly tribulations to strike down their enemies!
“Of course, the most crucial part is that it’s difficult to descend to the lower realms after achieving immortality, isn’t it? ”
“Even descending to the lower realms is so difficult; to successfully lay out a plan and refine a Middle Thousand World is even harder. ”
A faint smile curved Fang Xi’s lips.
It was difficult for True Immortals to descend to the lower realms, and they would also be suppressed by the laws, becoming enemies of the world; ninety-nine percent of them would perish!
The Immortals jointly executed by the Human Race, Demon Race, and Monster Race throughout history served as the best example!
“However, for me, these are not problems. . . and compared to a Lesser Thousand World that even an Immortal might be able to destroy, finding a Middle Thousand World is much safer. ”
“Though, the backlash from a Middle Thousand World would certainly be greater! ”
In Fang Xi’s mind, the Earthly Immortal World and the Divine Dao world immediately appeared.
Now, the Human Race had almost unified the Earthly Immortal World. Even if he acted against the natural order and incurred the Heavenly Dao’s displeasure, he really wanted to know how many people would stand against him then?
As for the Divine Dao world, it was another alternative.
However, after the Heavenly Emperor of that Divine Dao world ascended, there were still numerous Heavenly Kings and Honored Celestials. By now, a new Heavenly Emperor might have already been chosen, capable of suppressing even True Immortals who had descended to the realm, making them extremely formidable.
According to his knowledge, Immortals cannot destroy Middle Thousand Worlds.
A Dao Monarch might be able to, but they would inevitably suffer the backlash from the Heavenly Dao’s laws, making it not worth the gain, and possibly resulting in severe injury or even death!
But for cultivators of higher realms, he couldn’t say.
Perhaps above the Dao Monarch realm, there existed power capable of directly resisting the laws of heaven and earth, easily destroying a Middle Thousand World?
After all, there were no invincible secret arts in the world, only invincible people!
No matter how invincible a secret art claimed to be, it could still be broken.
“But a secret art capable of preserving one’s life from a Dao Monarch is already quite impressive. ”
Fang Xi immediately committed this secret art deeply to memory, preparing to cultivate it in the future.
He found this cultivation technique pavilion truly a wonderful place.
After all, the Fengyuan Chamber of Commerce was one of the top ten major forces in the North Star Immortal Domain. Its accumulated heritage over countless years saved him too much effort and many detours.
Fang Xi meticulously memorized all of this Earth Immortal inheritance before releasing the azure light cluster and moving on to other areas, appearing as if he intended to completely drain the accumulated knowledge of the Fengyuan Chamber of Commerce.
Not long after, he captured another golden light cluster.
Within this golden light cluster, there was only a partial formation diagram.
“Hmm. . . Myriad Swords Art? And a matching Myriad Swords Formation Diagram? This is perfect for extracting its essence and incorporating it into the project of modifying the Eight Gates Sword Array. . . ”
A look of delight spread across Fang Xi’s face as he saw this Myriad Swords Art, and he began to study it thoroughly.
For Immortals, lifespan is infinite; even comprehending here for ten thousand years would be nothing.
Time passed unknowingly.
Fang Xi read one classic after another, his own foundation growing at an astonishing rate. . .
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and the power of his Spirit Domain confined another light cluster.
This light cluster was only slightly smaller than the previous Earth Immortal inheritance, far surpassing typical ones. It emitted three colors—red, yellow, and green—shifting back and forth, subtly infused with a hint of purple.
“Found something good again. ”
Fang Xi rubbed his hands together, sending his Divine Sense into it.
An profound incantation immediately appeared before his eyes.
“‘Three Purities Converging into One Secret Art’? Just a single secret art, yet so extraordinary? ”
His eyes brightened. As he continued to read, a hint of excitement appeared on his face.
This ‘Three Purities Converging into One’ secret art was precisely a secret art of avatars!
Furthermore, it actually contained a method for retrieving previous avatars!
“With this secret art, my External Avatar and Shinto Avatar can both be recalled, strengthening my own foundation. . . ”
“It turns out that Immortals’ body-external avatars, second primordial spirits, and other secret techniques are quite different from the secret arts of the lower realms. The refined second primordial spirit and the main body are one mind, separate bodies, with no other consciousness whatsoever. They can even share information and all perceptions instantly, thus eliminating any risk of betrayal. . . ”
“The key is not to split one’s own soul, but to imbue an ‘Illusory True Spirit’! ”
True Spirit!
This is the crucial nexus of an Immortal’s Primordial Spirit, containing the essence of movement and stillness, the transformations of Yin and Yang. It is the core of the Primordial Spirit and cannot be split!
However, while it cannot be split, one can cultivate an ‘Illusory True Spirit’ to form a second primordial spirit!
This way, even if the second primordial spirit perishes, it will not affect the main body in any way, even if it is slain by the Laws of Destruction!
Furthermore, there is absolutely no possibility of betrayal, because the second primordial spirit and the main body share everything in real-time!
“This is the true body-external avatar, isn’t it. . . the secret arts of the lower realms always have some flaws. ”
After reviewing it, Fang Xi immediately decided to cultivate this ‘Three Purities Converging into One’ secret art to completion.
...
Outside the cultivation technique pavilion.
The azure light barrier finally opened a gap, and Fang Xi walked out, looking at the swirling snow, feeling extremely good.
“Greetings, Senior, upon your emergence from seclusion. ”
Beside him, the Seventh Miss, Yu Xuan, bowed respectfully, as if she had never left.
“How long have I been reading here? ”
Fang Xi casually asked.
“Reporting to Senior, it has been eighteen years, three months, and seven days! ”
Yu Xuan replied, “When Senior entered seclusion for the fifteenth year, your disciple Fang Xian broke through to the Nascent Soul realm. . . ”
“Nascent Soul, huh? Not bad. . . ”
Fang Xi nodded.
Yu Xuan did not know Fang Xian’s true age, and Fang Xi had long concealed it. With his prior instructions, Fang Xian would also not blab about it.
Otherwise, a cultivator who achieved Nascent Soul before the age of thirty would surely cause a sensation throughout the Fengyuan Chamber of Commerce.
Dugu Fang’s talent might have been good, but compared to Fang Xian, he was still a step behind.
He glanced at Yu Xuan again, knowing that she had probably hardly left this place for the past eighteen years. He nodded, “You are thoughtful. . . ”
“It is my honor to serve Senior. ”
Yu Xuan led the way, “Senior’s cave abode is in ‘Azurewood Abode’. ”
She led Fang Xi to the entrance of a cave abode.
This cave abode had clearly been refined into a Grotto-heaven. From the outside, it merely looked lush with greenery, but internally, it was divided into thirty-three layers, each extending for a hundred li. It contained various forms such as Immortal’s Jade Palaces, thatched cottages and bamboo houses, grand lake manors, and lava grottoes, each crafted with divine skill.
“Master. . . ”
A small figure ran out. Fang Xian still maintained the appearance of a seven-year-old child, smiling as he bowed, “You’ve finally emerged from seclusion. . . ”
He broke through major realms extremely quickly, and he would likely maintain his childish appearance until his cultivation reached a profound stage.
However, his temperament had finally matured, carrying a hint of steadiness.
“Very good, very good. You have diligently cultivated during my seclusion. . . ”
Fang Xi offered a few words of comfort, and the Seventh Miss discreetly stepped back.
“Master, is this our home from now on? ”
Fang Xian tugged at Fang Xi’s sleeve, pointing at the Azurewood Abode.
“Yes. . . I will cultivate here for a period of time. ”
Fang Xi surveyed the environment, feeling rather satisfied.
“Cultivate for a period of time, how long is that? ”
Fang Xian looked up, asking with a naive innocence.
“Perhaps. . . tens of thousands of years. ”
Fang Xi replied evasively.
...
The Seventh Miss had already explained; Fang Xi was no longer a Class B guest elder of the Fengyuan Chamber of Commerce, but an elder!
The Fengyuan Chamber of Commerce provided offerings to such elders once every thousand years, which included many good things, even several ‘Dao Attainment Pills’!
Fang Xi was actually quite interested in the True Immortal-level alchemist of the Chamber.
But he now had more important things to do.
After making slight modifications to the cave abode’s restrictive formations, he announced his seclusion, instructing Fang Xian to fend off all those who opportunistically came to visit.
...
A century passed in a flash.
In the secluded cultivation chamber.
Fang Xi, who was seated cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes.
At this moment, thousands of azure rays almost overflowed from his pupils.
Strands of law converged in the void, intertwining into azure chains.
As Fang Xi changed his incantation gesture, the azure chains abruptly melted, then reassembled and rearranged, astonishingly forming an azure sword of law!
“A sword of wood-attribute law. . . it’s done! ”
Fang Xi nodded, then shook his head, “What a pity. . . even with the Laws taking shape, I lack a top-grade Immortal Flying Sword. ”
Over the past century, he had painstakingly comprehended and finally mastered the ‘Earth Immortal Undying Art’ and the ‘Three Purities Converging into One’ secret art, making them ready for cultivation.
At the same time, he had largely completed the modification of the ‘Eight Gates Sword Array’, replacing the Three Odd Sword Array with life-death, void, and time. . .
Beyond that, he had further advanced in his comprehension of laws, bringing his wood-attribute law to the realm of Laws Taking Shape.
“The Fifth-Generation Green-Sword is already outdoor. Where could my Sixth-Generation green-Sword be? ”
