Stealthily cultivating in the chaotic world of demons and martial artists
Chapter 1024 - 879 Feng Family

Chapter 1024: Chapter 879 Feng Family

Fang Xi silently browsed through the scriptures of the "Six Consciousness Heart Scroll," memorized them, and then put away the alms bowl and golden Buddha blood.

At the same time, his experiences over the past several decades flowed slowly before his eyes like a clear spring.

"I’ve traveled throughout the territories of the human race, recently the battle situation has been acceptable..."

"It’s just that when the human race’s counterattack neared Green Domain, it ground to a halt, obviously affected by the absence of high-level combat power..."

Several decades ago, Changqingzi’s attempt to achieve Mahayana ended in failure, and he perished.

Besides, there was Old Meng’s downfall, and ’Qing Hezi’ disappearing without a trace...

With the loss of two of the Five Sons of Human Race and one Mahayana Individual Immortal all at once, the human race’s high echelons, who still wanted to counterattack the Three Realms Mountain, took a severe blow!

Although the leaders of the human race did their best to conceal this, the news eventually leaked out after several decades, causing a huge uproar.

Now, the Monster Clan has made a resurgence, and there have been tug-of-wars near the Green Domain, but no significant battles.

To this day, the human race has not yet reached Three Realms Mountain to reclaim all territory.

However, this situation, compared to that of the Demon Clan, seems to be much better.

The Demon Clan, originally under the leadership of the forced returning seven-catastrophe Mahayana Demon Ancestor, with the support of the human army led by Mo Yunzi and in collaboration with spy agents and scouts from both the human and demon races in the Monster Clan, truly set up a trap and fought a hard battle for redemption.

It is said that the Demon Clan was ferocious, not only opening their secret vaults and retrieving a few supreme treasures of the Demon heritage, but the seven-catastrophe Mahayana Demon Ancestor even captured two secluded Mahayana cultivators to join the fight, expending the full force of the clan.

That battle allegedly turned the world upside down, turning an entire region of the Demon Clan into scorched earth.

The Alien race and Monster Clan suffered a great loss.

But the good times were brief as, because of this, the Monster Clan had to withdraw most of its strength and enter the Demon Clan’s territory.

Both sides engaged in a fierce fight, and after several combined battles, the Demon Clan’s hope of recovering the lost territories in one fell swoop was completely dashed...

The current Great War of the Four Clans is maintained in a state of small skirmishes by the human race and large-scale battles by the Demon Clan, with all parties alike slowing down their offenses, coiling up their fists, ready to strike a fatal blow to their opponents at any moment.

Instead, it’s on the smaller battlefields that previously unremarkable cultivators from all four races suddenly rise to prominence, making names for themselves in the Earth Immortal Realm!

But all of this seems to have little to do with Fang Xi.

He rested his cheeks in his hands, watching as the auctioneer signaled for the last item to be brought forward.

"Transformation Clear Pill... can assist middle-stage Integration cultivators to break through the late-stage bottleneck!"

Accompanying a pill covered in intricate patterns that floated in mid-air, radiating multicolored light and taking the shape of an alien beast, as it was brought to the auction stage, the atmosphere of the auction house seemed to ignite instantly.

For cultivators, the realm is always the most important!

"Boring..."

Fang Xi yawned out of boredom, stood up, and left the private box of the auction hall.

As he exited, a maidservant naturally approached and led him out of the venue through a different door.

Even as he soared out of Fairy City, Fang Xi felt somewhat regretful, "To think there were no cultivation-robbers... The current customs of Cultivation World really..."

He knew that it was wartime, with the various Sects enforcing strict laws, and a large number of Individual Cultivators had also been conscripted to the front lines.

Naturally, the elements of instability were greatly reduced.

Besides that, to protect the reputation of their grand auction, Wontong Pavilion also constantly dispatched high-level cultivators to clean up any cultivation-robber groups nearby during the period surrounding the auction.

Consequently, the security near Fairy City has been extremely good of late.

...

Several years later.

On a mountain peak lush with spiritual energy.

Layers of buildings were constructed around the peak, all the way to the top.

In the air, there were groups of clouds forming a dragon coiling around the peak, exuding strong Spiritual Pressure.

Residing here was a Cultivating Immortal Family— the Feng Family!

The Feng Family was famous for its Wind Attribute Spirit Roots, with legends that their ancestors were some top-tier Wind Attribute Spirit Bodies and even obtained a peculiar kind of Wind Attribute Spirit Blood from an Immortal Mansion, which they refined into themselves. This made exceptional Wind Attribute Spirit Roots appear in abundance amongst their descendants, who easily awakened various types of Wind Attribute Spirit Bodies.

It was because of the actions of this ancestor that the Feng Family continued to produce talents, even producing several Integration cultivators in succession.

Even now, the Great Elder of the Feng Family was at the early stage of Integration.

The Feng Family was a renowned Integration Family, well-known throughout the human race.

It was evening time.

The sunset filled the sky as many Feng Family disciples lived and cultivated on this ’Cloud Dragon Peak’...

Suddenly!

The dragon-shaped clouds, as if encountering a powerful enemy, abruptly rose from their coiled position and let out a long, drawn-out Dragon Chanting.

Green tornados emerged, sweeping through the area in an instant.

"Huh?"

A faint sound of surprise came from the Void.

A flash of silver, and a man in a green robe wearing a vine wooden mask appeared out of thin air.

His aura was deep and unfathomable, his Cultivation seemed to be at the Integration stage, but it was difficult to discern the exact level.

"This Array Spirit is quite perceptive, actually detecting a trace of disturbance in the Void!"

Fang Xi stood with his hands behind his back, murmuring to himself.

"Who dares to breach the Feng Family’s Great Array?"

Accompanied by a strong tone, a breeze blew over and a charming figure stood atop the Cloud Dragon.

A maid in her early twenties appeared, her face pale and waist slender, tied with a green ribbon, emanating a fragile and ephemeral aura, as if she could be whisked away by the wind at any moment.

But Fang Xi could sense a rich surge of wind attribute magic power fluctuating around this woman.

"Great Elder of the Feng Family?"

He smiled and tapped his mask as if pondering, "I see... Your Feng Family is renowned for its wind attribute cultivation techniques, and this grand array is also of wind attribute... The Law of Wind ascends to the Void Laws... The Array Spirit used the wind attribute laws as a springboard to grasp a thread of the Void Laws, it is understandable... This Array Spirit is well nurtured, likely one of the most precious foundations of the Feng Family... I was careless, too. Next time I infiltrate, I should not take the Cloud Door but the Door of Xun..."

This young girl was indeed the Great Elder of the Feng Family.

Originally, she was apprehensive about the masked figure whose aura was indiscernible and did not wish to act rashly.

Yet, upon hearing Fang Xi’s brief analysis, which was spot-on about her family’s great array, her face instantly showed horror.

"Integration stage cultivation, vine wood mask..."

Suddenly, the Great Elder of the Feng Family seemed to think of something, "I’ve heard that recently, there has been a vine wood-masked person among the human race, claiming to be ’Prime Taoist Mu’, collecting secret skills and treasures... Could it be you!?"

"Indeed..."

Fang Xi admitted with a grinning smile.

The alias ’Qing Hezi’ cannot be used anymore, and as an Individual Cultivator, it’s only natural to pick up another new alias.

There are only so many in the human race who have reached the Integration stage, and this ’Prime Taoist Mu’ could easily make major sects like the Pure Yang Demon Refining Sect and the Flaming Jade Sect submit or infiltrate heavily guarded treasuries to steal, truly shocking beyond measure.

If it weren’t for the ongoing war, the deeds of Prime Taoist Mu would surely have been heralded throughout the world for hundreds of years!

"I’ve heard the Feng Family excels at wind attribute techniques and divine skills, especially possessing a Supreme Treasure that can control all sorts of bizarre winds in the world, claiming to overcome all wind system divine skills. Is it true or false?"

Fang Xi asked indifferently, hands clasped behind his back.

"What if it is?"

A bitter feeling arose in the heart of the Great Elder of the Feng Family.

With the Feng Family’s connections and power... even if the Five Sons of Human Race were to mobilize or require them to present this treasure, they could refuse.

After all, such secret skills and Supreme Treasures are the foundation of each family and sect, as well as the determiners of the Taoist system!

Even if the Five Sons of Human Race were to demand it in the name of the greater good of the war, they would surely face backlash!

But ’Prime Taoist Mu’ was different.

His origins unknown, acting alone... and more importantly, he truly dared to kill and exterminate a family!

That made him someone who had nothing to lose and nothing to fear.

"If so, I have heard that the people of the Feng Family are warm and hospitable; surely you would not want me to have come here in vain..."

Fang Xi said with a slight smile.

The Great Elder of the Feng Family’s face stiffened and then, as if coming to a decision, she braced herself.

Roar!

All at once, a cloud dragon bellowed, with violent winds howling.

The Great Elder of the Feng Family formed a hand seal with one hand, and a green array flag emerged, flickering with spiritual light. With a surge of her magic power, a diffuse green radiance appeared, spreading as though it covered the sky.

With a light chuckle, Fang Xi also slapped his Storage Bag and several array flags flew out.

Streams of colorful clouds spread, blending with the green radiance.

As he formed hand seals with a single hand, the colorful flags suddenly grew immensely large, like pillars reaching the sky, ruthlessly ’embedding’ themselves into the critical nodes of the Feng Family’s protective array.

Whimper!

The cloud dragon moaned sadly, and suddenly colorful chains appeared around its body.

The Colorful Chains were immensely thick, piercing directly into the cloud dragon’s body, restricting all actions of this Array Spirit.

In a flash, colors of the rainbow spread throughout the entire array.

The Great Elder of the Feng Family exclaimed in shock, feeling completely at a loss of control over the family’s protective great array.

Such an impossibility was happening effortlessly before her eyes!

"Wait!"

Seeing the ’Prime Taoist Mu’ across from her retrieving a treasure emanating a sinister Demon Qi, the Great Elder of the Feng Family could no longer hold back, "I yield, I am willing to hand over the ’Wind-Controlling Immortal Bead’..."

"Wind-Controlling Immortal Bead?"

Fang Xi, slightly startled, thought of a ’Wind-Controlling Bead’ he had obtained in the Lower Realm.

At this point, it seemed that it might be some sort of imitation of this Immortal Family’s treasure?

Perhaps an imitation of an imitation, in terms of power?

"Yes, it is precisely because of the ’Wind-Controlling Immortal Bead’ passed down by our ancestors that my Feng Family can overcome all wind system divine skills. Please wait a moment, elder; I will immediately retrieve the treasure..."

The Great Elder of the Feng Family hurriedly said.

It wasn’t that she was willing to hand over the Feng Family’s treasure to just anyone; she had no other choice...

...

Inside the Feng Family estate.

This place was located in the Feng Family ancestral shrine, a world within a Tunnel treasure that had been turned into a divine altar.

Looking around, one could see tombs as large as great mountains, towering into the clouds.

With a gentle breeze!

The Great Elder of the Feng Family, using her Wind Escape Skills, came to a valley expressionlessly, as endless gales blew from within, like a wind tunnel.

"Ancestor?"

Several young men and women approached in welcome. Each one brimming with Heavenly Spiritual Light, clearly possessing the potential for cultivation. They all had joyful expressions, "With our ancestor taking action, that great villain must have been driven away..."
