Chapter 1072: Chapter 926: Return to Earth Immortal

Abundant Karma House.

This power, known for its merchant activities, has influence that spans across the Beichen Immortal Domain.

As Fang Xi entered the establishment, he saw Huang Jing approach with a professional smile, "Honored guest, what are you planning to buy?"

"Breakthrough pill!"

"Please, this way to the private room for our valued customers."

Huang Jing promptly led Fang Xi to a private box and said with a smile, "Young brother, you’re in luck. The ’Six Flower Immortal Tea’ served in this box is a treat. Even I rely on your good graces to have a taste..."

"If Brother Dao likes it, I can visit often."

Fang Xi laughed heartily.

However, Huang Jing shook his head repeatedly, "Opening a VIP box without any transaction amount to show for it has serious consequences here; the punishment would be heavy. To be at a loss, to be at a loss... Come to think of it, you’re indeed fortunate."

Looking at Fang Xi, his eyes gleamed with a hint of amusement, "Although the ’Six Immortals Turn Flying Pill’ is not the best Mahayana breakthrough pill, there are others eyeing it... Even with my efforts on your behalf, there may still be a shortage... But recently, hasn’t a Celestial Immortal Inheritance emerged?"

"What does the emergence of a Celestial Immortal Inheritance have to do with this?" Fang Xi asked, puzzled.

"That Heavenly Immortal Secret Realm is of an inheritance nature, likely set up by Immortal Yuanli to find a successor..."

Huang Jing explained in detail, "As for successors, it’s best to train one from scratch. Once you reach Mahayana, the roots are somewhat set, which is not ideal... Many of the perfectly integrated Cultivators in the city, with excellent qualifications and hopes of reaching Mahayana, have abandoned their immediate breakthrough plans in favor of trying their luck in the Heavenly Immortal Secret Realm. Changing one’s foundation before Mahayana is relatively smooth... As a result, the demand for breakthrough pills has sharply decreased. Isn’t this a great opportunity for you, young brother?"

"Haha..."

Fang Xi laughed loudly, "I see, I myself do not have such extravagant hopes..."

"Please wait a moment..."

Huang Jing exited the box, and soon returned with a tray in hand.

On the tray was a semi-transparent jade bottle.

Muttering an incantation, he opened the bottle stopper, releasing a fragrance that filled the air. Within the mist, an unusual pill appeared.

The pill was half black and half white and seemed unremarkable, but strands of pill energy constantly emerged, forming a scene of six immortals expounding on their teachings.

Although there was no sound, there was an indescribable rhythm flowing about.

"Dao rhythm?"

Fang Xi’s expression changed slightly, "We Cultivators, True Immortals follow the Dao... This pill carries the rhythm of the Dao; it truly is an Immortal Pill refined by a True Immortal."

"Exactly, True Immortal level alchemists are as rare as phoenix feathers and Qilin horns. Only in our House do we have one."

Huang Jing proudly said, "To True Immortals who strive for immortality, ordinary pills that boost magic power aren’t of much use... What they need is the Dao rhythm implicit in the pills, which can polish their Dao, understand the rules, and promote Taoist Cultivation... Therefore what True Immortals need after are ’Taoist Cultivation Pills,’ which are extremely precious!"

A look of yearning appeared on Fang Xi’s face.

From his long-accumulated experience, he knew that True Immortal level alchemists were indeed great figures within the Beichen Immortal Domain.

Besides, those who master the ’Origin Soul prohibitions’, capable of refining Immortal Mansion Rare Treasures, which are Immortal Weapons, and Array Masters, are also highly sought after.

Only True Immortal level Talisman Masters remain the least respected among the Four Arts of Cultivation.

"Indeed, it is a good pill."

Fang Xi carefully inspected the pill, a smile appearing on his face. He pressed the Storage Talisman on his body, and a mountainous pile of Immortal Jade surfaced.

Huang Jing was accustomed to Fang Xi’s method of checking goods, finding him meticulous in his approach.

He swiftly began to count the Immortal Jade.

"All right, the transaction is complete."

After the deal was concluded, Huang Jing asked with a bit of concern, "Young master, when do you plan to make your breakthrough to Mahayana? Have you found a suitable place for your retreat and the treasures for crossing the tribulation?"

Finding a place for retreat was easy enough; it just needed to be safe.

In the Fiery Sun Immortal City, there were Dongfu available for long-term rental, though Fang Xi had no plans to do so.

As for the treasures needed to cross the tribulation, these were even more rare and valuable than the ’Six Immortals Turn Flying Pill’.

Many Cultivators, even with the confidence to break through the Mahayana barrier, dare not attempt it, out of fear of the Heart Demon and Wind and Fire Thunder Tribulation!

"One must always try."

Fang Xi replied firmly in his Dao Heart.

The power of each person’s Mahayana Immortal Tribulation varies; some come fully prepared and end up as ash, while others stumble through successfully without a clue.

He first bought a single breakthrough pill, planning for his true self to come later and claim success in crossing the tribulation – who could deny it then?

But for an outsider’s incarnation to cross the tribulation?

Fang Xi really wasn’t confident about that.

In the True Immortal Realm, it’s quite rare to find secret skills and treasures suitable for crossing the Mahayana tribulation.

Regular Immortal Talismans, True Symbols, and Immortal Mansion Rare Treasures tend to stimulate the Thunder Tribulation, causing the power of the Immortal Thunder Calamity to surge.

Only a few special Thunder Transformation Talismans have some effect, but they are much more expensive than the ’Six Immortals Turn Flying Pill,’ with the added issue of being hard to find even if money is no object.

In truth, with the Treasure Mirror protecting him, Fang Xi wasn’t too concerned about the Thunder Tribulation.

He would, however, need to find Spiritual Objects beneficial for facing the Mahayana Heart Demon Tribulation in the True Immortal Realm.

What truly worried him was the Life-bound Demon Calamity!

Though the Sky Demon Transmigration method is harsh, there are Demon Path experts in the Lower Realm who have successfully advanced to Mahayana, indicating that there is a slim chance of survival.

But for Demon Cultivators who practiced the Self-Transforming Heavenly Sovereign’s True Demon Art of Controlling All Spirits, none have ever advanced to Mahayana, indicating that the Life-bound Demon Calamity is exceedingly fierce, making it hard to get through the Sky Demon Transmigration.

If he attempted to cross the tribulation in the True Immortal Realm, he may even attract the attention of the Sky Demon’s true form.

Or worse, not just a Sky Demon, but a Demon King!

’Still, I must slowly gather Spiritual Objects and Crossing Tribulation Treasures that can resolve Heart Demons, then attempt to cross the tribulation in the Lower Realm...’

...

Earth Immortal Realm.

Heaven Origin City.

This place is recently known as the number one holy land of the human race, with a massive number of cultivators arriving every moment to commune with the ’Heavenly Monument,’ to receive tasks, to exchange items...

There are even examples of entire major sects relocating here to work for Fang Xi.

"The vitality of the human race... seems to have recovered quite a bit."

A flash of silver light, and the heterodox incarnation appeared deep within a palace of sky-blue color.

Looking up, he saw the expressionless ’East Imperial Profound Real Infinite Evergreen Emperor’ seated on a dragon throne, like a lofty Heavenly Emperor, gazing down at all living beings in the Earth Immortal Realm.

That’s right!

Ever since pacifying the chaos in the Earth Immortal Realm, Fang Xi had left his God Path incarnation in Heaven Origin City to manage affairs on his behalf and deter the petty and weak.

If it weren’t for this, in a few thousand or even tens of thousands of years, the territories near the ’Heavenly Monument’ might well be occupied by major powers, making it extremely difficult for individual cultivators to communicate with ’Lord Duobao.’

In reality, all these were futile efforts.

Fang Xi, having comprehended the Treasures of All Heavens, had already prepared to forge some sub-monoliths imbued with Void ability, and even to decentralize this function to every piece of authority jade token.

By then, as long as a cultivator was in the Earth Immortal Realm, they could trade with ’Lord Duobao’ with just a thought, even upload items, commission sales, or transmit various kinds of Spiritual Objects and so on...

’Thus, this would be the Earth Immortal Realm’s biggest logistics and auction company... making a killing, making a killing...’

’Actually, it doesn’t matter, as I’ve already monopolized it, how I make a profit is up to me...’

The heterodox incarnation thought to himself as he remembered the information of the past few days.

Then, with a flip of his hand, the jade bottle containing the ’Six Immortals Turn Flying Pill’ fell into the hands of the God Path Lord.

"This item... I will place it within the ’Heavenly Monument.’

"Then, we’ll see who has the fate to exchange for this pill..."

"My human race intends to unify the Earth Immortal Realm; the more Mahayana Monks, the better. Currently, there are still too few, far too few..."

The God Path incarnation let out a sigh.

Of course, within the range of authority, it was definitely those few people he favored who could gain convenience.

Whether they can break through to Mahayana will depend on their fates.

The heterodox incarnation nodded and disappeared with a flash of silver light once again.

When he next appeared, he was above Falling Sky Island!

This Immortal Mansion Secret Realm had been completely transformed and became Fang Xi’s lair.

The island roamed within the Void and controlled the core hub of the Array. Naturally, it had already finished the ’Higher Realm’ process with the Earth Immortal Realm.

And Fang Xi’s true self had been enjoying a life of ease on this island all along.

Within the secluded meditation chamber.

Fang Xi’s true self was sitting cross-legged, a Nascent Soul walked out from within his body, indistinguishable from a normal person.

On him, life and death forces of withering and flourishing circulated, suddenly transforming into the Power of Life and Death Rules, a mingling of black and white.

The filaments of the Rules coalesced and transformed into a somewhat illusory form of a Taoist Seed.

"Taoist Seed, Prime Taoist Master..."

"Illusory Taoist Seed form, Illusory Taoist Seed, Taoist Seed..."

Fang Xi muttered to himself, sensing the arrival of the heterodox incarnation, and a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Although the Earth Immortal Realm was stable, he never underestimated his enemies.

There were countless wondrous and secret methods in the Cultivation World, and it was quite possible there were some specifically aimed at him, causing him a great loss!

Being always in the limelight makes one an easy target for others to thoroughly understand, and inevitably some flaws will be exposed.

This is the so-called loneliness at the top.

Therefore, his true self decided to hide in secrecy, leaving only a God Path incarnation as a target in the outside world.

With the ’Treasures of All Heavens,’ it was even more convenient for Fang Xi to control the overall situation.

Even using this Supreme Treasure to protect his body, if the incarnation were destroyed by the Law of Destruction, it would not affect the true body, giving him enough time to react.

"Finally... am I truly going to the True Immortal Realm now?"

The Nascent Soul of Fang Xi returned to his true body, a trace of a smile emerging on his lips.

"Just right, the relocation in the Earth Immortal Spirit Realm has also been completed..."

His Divine Thought, unobstructed by distance, swept over to see that the mortal nations in the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm, as well as some Cultivation Sects, were all completely empty.

Since he was preparing to go to the True Immortal Realm, Fang Xi naturally had to plan early for the sentient beings in the Spirit Realm.

Unlike sneaking into the Earth Immortal Realm, experiments showed that sentient beings smuggled into the True Immortal Realm would surely be suppressed by the Power of Rules and turned to dust!

He wished to smuggle them, but he didn’t want to kill anyone, so he had been transferring the beings from within the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm to Falling Sky Island these past few days.

Now, the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm, aside from the Spirit Plants and some lower-level Spiritual Beasts, was only filled with diligent Divine Bean Taoist Soldiers and Puppets at work.

Even Daqing, Xiao Qing, Little Mysterious Turtle, Taisui, and the Four Wood Beast Stars... had all been sent out.

"Actually... the Earth Immortal Heritage comes from the True Immortal Realm and has certain resistance to Interface Power; perhaps it can carry living beings ascend...

"This time I’ll still bring a few unlucky ones as test subjects."

Fang Xi’s face showed a thoughtful expression.
