Chapter 985: Taiqing Primordial Spirit (Extra Chapter for Subscriptions)
“Green Lock Sword! ”
Mo Yiyi recognized it. This sword was a Pure Yang flying sword recorded in Daoist scriptures.
It was refined by a senior expert using Ten-Thousand-Year Bronze Wood as the main material, incorporating rare materials like Grand White Gold Essence, and took hundreds of years of painstaking effort to forge. It was also one of the three most precious Pure Yang supreme treasures in this cave-heaven.
When the master of this cave-heaven ascended back then, he left behind one Heavenly Scripture, and only three Pure Yang supreme treasures: Broad Cold Twin Hooks, Heaven's Heart Yin-Yang Ring, and the Green Lock Sword. It was just enough for one item each.
“What Green Lock Sword? ”
Fang Xi, however, used his magic power to refine this flying sword. He saw that the sword was pure azure throughout its body. When he flicked the sword with a finger, a dragon's roar emanated from it. He said, delighted, “Now that this sword is in my hands, it shall be the Qing He Sword (Sixth Generation)! ”
The three of them then toured the cave-heaven, collecting some immortal herbs and exotic flowers that grew naturally in the spirit herb garden.
As for the Broad Cold Heavenly Scripture, it was naturally given to Mo Yiyi for safekeeping, though Yun Shanshan and Fang Xi each copied a portion.
The seawater parted, revealing three streaks of light.
“This cave-heaven is also an immortal blessed land, but it is not suitable for me. . . ”
Fang Xi chuckled, “You two don't need to see me off any further. ”
“I, however, am preparing to undergo another reincarnation. This place will first be handed over to Younger Sister Yun to manage. ”
Mo Yiyi spoke, causing Yun Shanshan to be momentarily stunned: “Elder Sister, you only need to transform your cultivation foundation, and there is hope for you to become an Earth Immortal in this life. Yet you still want to reincarnate again? ”
“Our unorthodox path's magic power is mixed and impure. Even with the aid of the Grand Yin Ice Soul to transform the foundation, a trace of impurities remains difficult to remove. The further one goes, the more effort is wasted. In this life, the most I can achieve is the Earth Immortal Dao Fruit. ”
“If I reincarnate again and directly cultivate the Broad Cold Heavenly Scripture, perhaps I can strive for the Celestial Immortal position. My decision on this matter is final; there is no need to persuade me further. ”
A look of resolute determination appeared on Mo Yiyi’s face.
A cultivator like her was willing to give everything for the hope of achieving true cultivation.
“Since that is the case, then I wish Elder Sister successful accomplishment. . . ”
Yun Shanshan sighed, just about to say something to Fang Xi, when all three of their expressions suddenly changed, and they looked up at the sky.
They saw a blood-colored meteor streak across the firmament. Its crimson tail flame resembled the evening glow, its color like crimson fire, and its shape like Chiyou's Banner.
Fang Xi and Yun Shanshan mobilized their primordial spirits, performing calculations with their fingers, and both exclaimed in astonishment: “The conflict between the righteous and demonic paths, the Great Tribulation has begun! ”
Fang Xi’s heart stirred even more, knowing that this was the workings of heavenly destiny, using this karma with the immortal abode to make it difficult for him to participate in the opening of this great tribulation, thus preventing him from causing trouble for the Shushan School.
“It is indeed the Great Tribulation! ”
Mo Yiyi gasped sharply: “Then what should we do? ”
“What does the conflict between the righteous and demonic paths have to do with us, practitioners of the unorthodox path? ”
Fang Xi let out a cold laugh: “Only someone of the Moon Empty Abbess’s caliber from Small Emptiness Island would eagerly go to curry favor with Shushan. We should just tightly guard our gates and wait for the tribulation to pass. . . ”
These were his true thoughts.
Although Fang Xi was not a good person, he considered himself not a bad one either. How could he help the demonic path to flourish greatly?
If the Shushan School were to destroy those old demon lords who only knew how to hold all living beings in heaven and earth hostage, he would only applaud with delight, and merely praise them, “Dog-eat-dog, bite harder! ”
‘Not to mention, Shushan is currently flying the banner of ‘practicing chivalry and upholding justice, rectifying the righteous path’, and their luck is currently strong. . . If I rashly collide with them, my own luck might instead greatly decline. . . ’
‘Moreover, I came to this world only to comprehend Golden Immortal methods and collect flying swords. . . As long as they don't provoke me, why bother provoking them? ’
“What Fellow Daoist said is indeed the profound truth for us cultivators. ”
Mo Yiyi’s face was full of admiration.
Dao cultivators were precisely like this, naturally imbued with the indifference of the Grand Dao.
Yet, the three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance still wreaked havoc.
When Fang Xi heard this woman speak, he knew that this Fellow Daoist Mo indeed possessed a cold and aloof nature.
It was truly a perfect match for the Broad Cold Heavenly Scripture’s inheritance.
When she returns from reincarnation in the future, directly cultivating the Heavenly Scripture inheritance, there's true hope for her to become a Celestial Immortal!
...
Qing He Mountain.
A grayish-white light flashed, and Fang Xi's figure directly appeared before the mountain gate.
Gazing at the intact Six Yao Yin Water Great Array, he couldn't help but nod, then looked at the dark compass in his hand: “The Innate Primordial Magnet Disk, using the power of the earth's depths and bipolar primordial magnetism for great teleportation. While its flexibility may not compare to Buddhist Heart Light Escape Techniques, it surpasses them in long-distance teleportation, comparable to a super teleportation array. ”
Endless mist automatically parted, revealing the buildings of the Old Crow Monastery.
Qingfeng and Mingyue, seeing this, immediately came out to greet him, bowing and saying, “Welcome, Master, back to your residence. ”
“Mm. ”
Fang Xi saw that everything in the residence was in order, and couldn't help but nod: “You two, well done. . . ”
He immediately patted his magic pouch, and two minor magic tools flew out, landing in the hands of the two Daoist attendants.
These were several artifacts that the Black Wind Rogue Cultivator had regarded as treasures. Fang Xi, of course, didn't care for them, but they were excellent for rewarding subordinates.
Qingfeng Child and Mingyue Child, having received them, felt their palms trembling, thinking to themselves: ‘Even the old monastery master back then might not have had such treasures, yet he bestowed them upon us so easily. . . Indeed, in the cultivation world, the most important thing is to follow the right person. As long as you follow the right person, even mounts and spirit pets can achieve the Dao, and their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven! ’
Fang Xi didn't concern himself with what the two attendants were thinking. They were merely tools for managing the cave-heaven.
Whenever he was in a good mood, bestowing one or two Daoist scriptures or artifacts could make them happy for several years.
As for true disciple status?
That was unthinkable.
He immediately returned to his cave-heaven, took out the items he had gained from his recent excursion, and felt great joy in his heart: “This trip, I not only refined my primordial spirit and advanced the Time Warden Sword to Pure Yang, but I also obtained the Nine Revolutions Life-Death Reincarnation Pill, the Innate Primordial Magnet Disk, and the Qing He Sword (Sixth Generation)! ”
“Now that the Great Tribulation has arrived, although it's mainly a conflict between the righteous and demonic paths, if unorthodox and Buddhist sects get involved carelessly, they will surely suffer a killing tribulation. Even if there were no tribulation to begin with, a major one would forcibly be created. . . ”
“I shall still tightly guard my gates, comprehend cultivation methods, and study reincarnation. ”
Fang Xi first took out the Nine Revolutions Life-Death Reincarnation Pill. This pill contained reincarnation Dao charm, making it extremely rare.
Even though Mo Yiyi was going to reincarnate, he couldn't bring himself to give it away.
Now that he kept it, he naturally intended to comprehend it first, extract all its value, and then feed it to the Life-Death Dao Fetus.
As for the Innate Primordial Magnet Disk, he could comprehend primordial magnet restrictions, thereby allowing his magic power to advance another level!
Last but not least, there was also the copied Broad Cold Heavenly Scripture!
This was a Celestial Immortal inheritance!
Although it was suitable for female immortals, it could still allow him to discern some Celestial Immortal mysteries.
Fang Xi sat cross-legged, instantly entering a state of meditation:
“A Celestial Immortal, born of a single qi. . . both form and spirit are wondrous. ”
“The Broad Cold Heavenly Scripture takes Ice Soul Divine Light as its foundation. First, it is an introductory stage, refining an extremely cold magic power, then cultivating Ice Soul Cold Light, followed by Ice Soul Divine Light, Grand Yin Ice Soul Divine Light. . . eventually condensing into an Ice Soul Primordial Spirit! ”
“Above the Ice Soul Primordial Spirit is the Earth Immortal Dao Fruit of the ‘Grand Yin Primordial Spirit’! ”
“If the Grand Yin Primordial Spirit is to be further improved, one needs to comprehend the most profound and mysterious chapter in the Heavenly Scripture, the ‘Taiyi Yin Seal Script’. If one can gain some insights, combining internal and external cultivation, one can refine the ‘Broad Cold Primordial Spirit’, which is the Celestial Immortal position! ”
“This actually contains an unfulfilled meaning, which is the regret of the Heavenly Scripture’s owner. . . It states that if one could find the ‘Great Luo Yang Seal Script’, one might be able to condense a trace of undying golden nature, ascending to the Celestial Realm with the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit! ”
“It’s just a pity that the ‘Great Luo Yang Seal Script’ has long been lost to the mortal world. . . ”
Fang Xi comprehended the Broad Cold Heavenly Scripture, combining it with his own Earth Essence Golden Scripture, and immediately gained great insights.
“If I follow the path of the Earth Essence Golden Scripture, condensing the Earth Extremity Primordial Spirit, and then obtaining the ‘Purple Azure Immortal Seal Script’ to achieve the Xuan Du Primordial Spirit. . . I would still stop at Celestial Immortal! ”
“If I wish to ascend as a Golden Immortal, I fear I must combine with Shushan's supreme inheritance, the Taiqing Demon Refining Scripture, and obtain the ‘Tushita True Edict’ from that volume of Heavenly Scripture! ”
“Xin Hongyun’s ten lifetimes of planning were indeed not as simple as merely achieving Earth Immortal. . . ”
“She happened to encounter the Great Tribulation and had numerous opportunities. She must have been preparing to meet the tribulation with her own body, and eventually emerge from the tribulation! ”
“If it weren't for me delaying her in seizing some opportunities, I fear she would surely have found half a volume of the Purple Mansion Heavenly Scripture in the future, obtained the Purple Azure Immortal Seal Script, and achieved Celestial Immortal! Then, combining it with Shushan's ‘Tushita True Edict’, that would be the foundation for a Golden Immortal! ”
“It's even possible she could have refined the supreme and unrivaled ‘Taiqing Primordial Spirit’ and ascended as a Golden Immortal! ”
...
Fang Xi observed the Broad Cold Heavenly Scripture, and immediately gained great insights into the path of Celestial Immortals, and even Golden Immortals.
Of course, most grandmasters knew how to proceed, but if opportunities didn't arrive or external cultivation was insufficient. . . it would be difficult to take that step, which was a matter of helplessness.
“‘Taiyi Yin Seal Script’. . . ”
Fang Xi silently recalled the Taiyi Yin Seal Script writings from the last few pages of the Heavenly Scripture, and immediately gained great insights.
“This is. . . Dao charm writings! ”
Cultivators cultivate immortality, True Immortals cultivate the ‘Dao’!
The Dao, with great sound, is silent; with great form, is formless!
What True Immortals can comprehend are only faint traces of Dao charm!
That is why Dao Cultivation Pills were so highly sought after; it was because they contained Dao charm within, which could temper a True Immortal's own Dao cultivation!
“In this world, the Taiyi Yin Seal Script, Great Luo Yang Seal Script, Purple Azure Immortal Seal Script, Tushita True Edict, and so on. . . are all Dao charm writings. To me, they are even more precious than individual ‘Dao Cultivation Pills’. ”
“As long as I delve deep into comprehending them, I can use them to temper my own Grand Dao, which will be quite beneficial for a True Immortal’s cultivation! ”
Fang Xi’s eyes lit up.
This was also his fundamental purpose in coming to this Great Thousand World.
To find a way to elevate the essence of his primordial spirit!
As long as he had enough Dao charm writings, his Earth Immortal-level primordial spirit would likely easily be comparable to a Celestial Immortal. . . or even surpass a Celestial Immortal!
This would lay the most solid foundation for his future breakthrough to Dao Monarch!
Excellent!
Although Fang Xi was learning various immortal methods of this world, he never forgot his own foundation, which was still the Mortal Law!
The path he wanted to take was naturally to extract the essence of this world and complete his own path!
In the future, his main body would still undergo ‘Merging with the Dao’, and then achieve the Dao Monarch position.
After all, while the methods of this world made it relatively easy to refine a primordial spirit, each subsequent step was like ascending to heaven. Even a slight increase in primordial spirit grade required the combination of internal and external cultivation. And when ascending to the Celestial Realm in the future, who knew how much trouble awaited.
In comparison, Fang Xi still preferred the Mortal Law. As long as the resources and strength were sufficient, he could forcefully break through realms, which was the most straightforward and satisfying!
‘If the Celestial Immortals of the True Immortal World are all Dao Monarch seeds, then what would I be if I had a Golden Immortal Primordial Spirit? A Half-step Dao Monarch? ’
‘Uh. . . I forgot there’s also the prototype Dao Seed. . . With the two combined, perhaps I should be called a ‘quasi-Dao Monarch’? ’
