Stealthily cultivating in the chaotic world of demons and martial artists
Chapter 1081 - 935 Millennium

Chapter 1081: Chapter 935 Millennium

Time flies swiftly by, in the blink of an eye.

Five hundred years of light and time, in but a moment, passed by.

Within the Abundant Karma House in the Golden Bamboo Sea.

Fang Xi was leisurely flipping through the account book, with Qi Min and Gong Jiujin standing by his side.

"Sir guest, your ’Storage Talismans’ have sold out again. Shall we make some more?"

Gong Jiujin said excitedly, his lips unwittingly twitched.

Fang Xi glanced at him and sneered, "Sell more ’Storage Talismans’ to rob the Brahman Sect’s ’Transcendence Mustard Talismans’ of their business? Moreover... don’t I need to cultivate?"

At these words, Gong Jiujin was immediately at a loss for words.

Qi Min quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Steward Gong is just thinking of the shop’s business... Sir guest, please don’t take offense."

In truth, the good sale of Storage Talismans, boosting the profits of the shop in all aspects, was beneficial for everyone.

Yet Fang Xi was utterly unmoved.

Apart from occasionally producing a few Storage Talismans to slightly boost the shop’s popularity and show that he, as a guest, was working, he refused to engage in anything else!

The surrounding Brahman Sect shops had initially been on edge for a few years when the Abundant Karma House dispatched a Mahayana Talisman Master, fearing some major action from him.

But gradually, they let their guard down.

This was exactly what Fang Xi wanted!

The profit from selling a limited number of Storage Talismans was something he, a Mahayana Monk, could easily handle without harshly infringing on the interests of the Brahman Sect.

Thus, he could avoid causing trouble!

If it were not necessary to display some capabilities, and to have an external source of Immortal Jade income, he wouldn’t even be willing to craft the occasional Storage Talismans.

To indulge in enjoyment wholeheartedly, or to practice the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation, quietly waiting for the Heaven Tribulation—isn’t that delightful?

He’d have to be insane to vigorously develop the Abundant Karma House!

With that time, even playing around in the Bliss World would be excellent.

That little nun had given him a VIP card, which Fang Xi naturally used early on. Recently, he had even become a top VIP in the Bliss Building and had learned the little nun’s Dharma name—’Tranquil Heart Nun’.

"Alright, let’s leave it at that."

Fang Xi gave Gong Jiujin a sidelong glance and coldly smiled.

No matter what, as a Mahayana Period Cultivator, suppressing the other, merely an Integration one, was not a problem for him.

After all, the Cultivation World respects power above all.

With superiority in both strength and position, irrespective of how greedy and wolfish the other party is, they fundamentally cannot stir any trouble.

"Yes!"

Gong Jiujin nodded with difficulty.

"By the way, I heard you’ve been frequenting the gambling dens recently?"

Just as Gong Jiujin was about to take his leave, Fang Xi suddenly spoke up.

Click!

Gong Jiujin’s shoulders remained still, but his face twisted around, revealing an ugly smile: "I’m just indulging in a little gambling for entertainment..."

"Hmm, the Celestial Immortals’ Immortal Jades are not good to owe. You had better take care of yourself."

Fang Xi waved his hand, not wanting to say more.

After Gong Jiujin left, Qi Min came closer, chuckling: "Steward Gong has already cultivated the ’Wolf’s Gaze’, it seems he has further integrated with the Qi Sha Greedy Wolf’s Bloodline, truly making this old man envious..."

Fang Xi glanced at the old man, a bit speechless.

This old Qi was always grinning as if he had a good relationship with Gong Jiujin, sometimes even covering for him.

But he would also occasionally bring up the other’s faults before me.

As for today, who knows what his intentions were.

Just then, a customer walked into the shop.

Dressed in white, his demeanor carried the weight of time. Upon seeing Fang Xi, he couldn’t help but pause: "Senior?"

"Hmm?"

Upon seeing this person, Fang Xi also smiled: "I did not expect to meet an old friend here in the Golden Bamboo Sea, Shi young friend, it’s been a long time."

"Alas..."

The visitor was indeed Shi Yushu, whose face was filled with bitterness at the words.

Thinking back on his own experiences, even Fang Xi felt a sense of poignancy.

"It’s a rare chance that we meet today, which suggests fate. Please allow me, junior, to act as host for once. How about a gathering at the ’Six Chan Building’?"

Shi Yushu folded his hands in a salute.

"Indeed... that would be pleasant," Fang Xi pondered for a moment, then agreed.

Six Chan Building.

This building was a Brahman Sect property, famous for its exquisite cuisine.

Inside a private room.

Fang Xi held his wine cup, listening to Shi Yushu pour out his feelings: "When the Righteous Yang Sect disbanded, the Zhang Family took drastic action. I had nowhere to turn and luckily stumbled into the Heavenly Immortal Secret Realm. Unfortunately, with mediocre talent, I did not gain much... merely managed to recover from the Heart Demon and improve my Magic Power a little. Subsequently, I attracted a lot of trouble... After the fall of the Zhang Family, I had nowhere to go, did not wish to rebuild the Righteous Yang Sect, so I decided to go out and roam... Currently, I am settling at the ’Three Yuan Sect’ outside of the Golden Bamboo Sea, serving as an instructor for passing on skills... "

"I see. Young friend has survived great peril and must have good fortune to come. With your Cultivation improved to Integration, there is hope for reaching Mahayana."

Fang Xi complimented him.

"Let’s not talk about it anymore, let’s not think about it..."

Shi Yushu politely responded and drank the fine wine in his cup.

...

Late at night.

Fang Xi returned to his Dongfu and lightly circulated his cultivation technique, the scent of alcohol instantly disappeared without a trace.

"Three Yuan Sect... Interesting."

He stroked his chin, a sly smile appearing on his lips.

If the information he had gathered beforehand was correct, Qi Min was indeed the mastermind behind this ’Three Yuan Sect.’

To now take in Shi Yushu, it had to be said, was truly fateful.

The other party knew of his connection with Shi Yushu and yet held back their actions, allowing Shi Yushu and himself an accidental meeting, clearly with calculations in mind.

"It’s just a pity that I’ve always been one to devour the candy coating and return the cannonball."

"What little Shi? I really don’t know him that well..."

In those five hundred years, there were several cultivators who, having become somewhat familiar, invited Fang Xi to join them in seeking out mysteries or to lend a hand to someone.

Fang Xi refused all of them, never leaving the boundaries of Spirit Mountain.

As a result, among these cultivators, some made a fortune, some perished from their path, and others mysteriously disappeared, their life and death unknown...

For him, as long as he didn’t bet, he would never lose!

Therefore, no matter what Shi Yushu and Qi Min were plotting, Fang Xi simply didn’t care.

...

In the blink of an eye, another five hundred years passed by.

Snap!

An Immortal Jade was tossed high into the air and slipped into a ’Storage Talisman.’

Within this ’Storage Talisman,’ a large number of Immortal Jades were piled up, resembling a small mountain.

"Sand gathers into a tower, hairs sum to a fur coat... Only when the mountain does not reject its soil, can it reach its height."

Fang Xi murmured to himself.

Even if only a small profit was made each year, multiplied by five hundred years, a thousand years, the amount would be terrifying.

"Is this the cultivation method of high-level monks?"

"If it were an immortal being who has achieved longevity and immortality, how profound and terrifying would their foundation and accumulation be?"

He stepped out of his Dongfu, oriented himself, and headed to the rooftop.

And then.

Whoosh!

A stream of green radiance surrounded Fang Xi, wrapping around him completely and turning into a beam of Escape Light, disappearing into the sky.

After a thousand years in the Golden Bamboo Sea, he finally chose to venture out!

This scene, if Qi Min and Gong Jiujin were to see it, would they be moved to tears?

’My Mahayana Immortal Thunder Tribulation is coming.’

Within Spirit Mountain, naturally, one was not allowed to undergo tribulation casually; there were specific spots for it, and fees were even charged.

But undergoing tribulation, a matter so private, most cultivators preferred to find a secluded place outside and deal with it alone.

Especially someone like Fang Xi, who has secrets to keep, would be more inclined to do so.

Outside the Golden Bamboo Sea, there were indeed densely scattered Spiritual Veins.

Many small sects and families were established there, providing Spirit Mountain with a vast amount of raw materials and reserve labor.

If they could cultivate even one Returning to Emptiness monk to ’further study’ in Spirit Mountain, that would be the greatest honor.

’Hmm... are a few of Qi Min’s smaller sects within this range as well?’

A thought crossed Fang Xi’s mind, but he did not ponder it further. He picked a desolate area, employed Earth Escape Skills, and submerged deep into the earth, out of sight.

Then, his figure vanished with a flash of silver light...

...

Earth Immortal Realm.

Demon Clan territory.

Above a plain.

Xu Lao Devil stood with his hands behind his back, gazing southward.

"How come... Xu Sir, are you reminiscing about the vast territory the Demon Clan lost?"

A voice came through.

A tawny radiance flashed across the ground, revealing Wei Tongya’s figure.

He was still short and stocky, unremarkable in appearance, but there was a hazy yellow sand swirling around him.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that within those grains of Divine sand lay numerous small worlds inscribed with massive quantities of Sky Demon Script, each grain almost infinitely heavy.

"Wei Tongya, one of the Monster Clan’s seven saints back in the day, it’s unexpected that after a thousand years it is you who have achieved a True Spirit Body!"

Xu Lao Devil replied, his expression unchanging, "It seems that a large portion of the heritage the Monster Clan took with them back then is now vested in you."

"Most of my clan’s treasures have already fallen into the hands of the human race, and my ascension to Mahayana required expending the last of our reserves..."

Wei Tongya’s mung bean-like eyes gazed at Xu Lao Devil, "With my clan in this state, the Demon Clan cannot fare much better, can they? All this is, of course, because of the human race! Although Qing Hezi eradicated several of our True Spirits, I still have to admit that the ’Heavenly Monument’ system he established greatly benefits the growth of the human race... I’m sure it won’t require ten thousand years to fully digest, and the human race, having already produced two Mahayana beings, has completely recovered from the shadow of the great war, and it seems a golden age is upon us. This golden era, however, is built upon countless skeletons of our Two Tribes of Demons and Monsters!"

Xu Lao Devil let out a cold laugh, then said, "So, what do you plan to do? Shall our two clans join forces and go to war with the human race again?"

"Joining forces is of course a must, but to go to war with the human race?"

Wei Tongya smiled tragically, "As long as Qing Hezi stands with the human race, I would not entertain such a foolish idea."

"Hehe..." Xu Lao Devil suddenly laughed, "If you had just said we’re starting the battle now, I would have taken you down immediately and offered you to the human race as a token of allegiance!"

"As long as Qing Hezi exists, the human race cannot be challenged, but he will always have to die in the Immortal Thunder Calamity, or ascend..."

Wei Tongya spoke confidently, a spark of wisdom glowing in his small eyes, "Our Monster Clan has a long lifespan; we can endure... Even if I don’t see it in my lifetime, I can leave it to the next generation... Thus, from father to son, from son to grandson, sooner or later, we will see Qing Hezi go!"

"I fear by that time the human race’s momentum will be well established." Xu Lao Devil sighed deeply.

"That’s why I’ve come to see you, Sir. Our two clans, Demons and Monsters, should now secretly form an alliance and quietly build up strength, in anticipation of future cosmic changes!" Wei Tongya whispered forcefully.

"Cosmic changes?" Xu Lao Devil murmured, gaze drifting south.

To the current Earth Immortal Realm, Qing Hezi was indeed the ’sky’!
