Stealthily cultivating in the chaotic world of demons and martial artists
Chapter 1084 - 938 Mystical

Tens of miles away, a murky radiance flickered, and a figure identical to the Left Envoy appeared, it was indubitably his Nascent Soul!

As a Mahayana Level Nascent Soul at its peak, its vitality was evidently extremely strong.

Of course, the more crucial factor was that Fang Xi had held back.

Otherwise, even if this Nascent Soul was halfway to becoming an Origin Soul, it would still have turned into nothingness under the chaotic cut of space and time.

The Nascent Soul glared at Fang Xi hatefully, fingers contorting to cast a secret skill to flee.

But in that instant, unbeknownst to when, a flag had appeared above, and the magical power fluctuations of an Immortal Weapon enveloped it.

—Monster Summoning Banner!

As the flag unfurled, streaks of blood-like filth transformed into myriad demon forms, ensnaring the Left Envoy in the blink of an eye.

A deluge of Sky Demon Script invaded the Nascent Soul’s body, acting as chains that astonishingly dissipated the Left Envoy’s Immortal Origin Power in an instant.

Startled, as he attempted to gather his Immortal Origin Power once more, he saw Fang Xi looking over, with a glint of green and yellow light in his eyes sharp as swords, piercing directly into his Sea of Consciousness!

—Kuyong Phantom Eye!

The Nascent Soul became dazed in an instant, wrapped in layers of Sky Demon Script chains, morphing into a spherical shape, and fell into the Monster Summoning Banner.

Not far away, the Ten Extinct Doors let out a mournful cry, their gateways stacked upon each other, plummeting from midair.

Fang Xi caught them with one hand, and now in his palm was a miniature door, leaving him quite satisfied.

"Another Immortal Weapon, not bad..."

With his abilities, of course, he could not destroy an Immortal Weapon.

The key is that this Immortal Weapon was an Array Taoist treasure, and he happened to be a Ninth Order Immortal Array Master, which allowed him to find the flaw and kill his way out.

If an Array Master, or an Immortal, held this Immortal Weapon, then it would have been very troublesome for Fang Xi to break free.

"Black Mystery Sect, and the cultivators in the bronze carriage... they’re all trouble."

"But even with such a huge vortex, it cannot affect me."

Fang Xi looked resolute, sweeping his Divine Thought, he saw two Mahayana Monks coming together.

They were precisely the three Mahayana who had pursued the bronze carriage, with one now missing.

Not only that, but behind them, there was also a bronze carriage covered in scars, its two Puppets long gone, while inside lay just a young girl, unconscious and bound by prohibitions.

"The magical power fluctuations caused by the Left Protector earlier must have occurred around here..."

The Black Mystery Sect’s Protector Jin, wrapped with a golden belt around his waist, also noticed Fang Xi with his Divine Thought.

"Again?"

Fang Xi thought silently, "Could it be I recently forgot to use the Fortune Worm to check my fortune? Why does trouble keep coming wave after wave?"

"Not good, this person..."

Upon seeing the Ten Extinct Doors in Fang Xi’s hand, the pupils of Protector Jin and Silver Protector shrank, and they turned into beams of Escape Light, fleeing in different directions, even abandoning their captive.

They, Gold, Silver, Copper, were the three great protectors of the Black Mystery Sect, all Mahayana Period cultivators.

But previously, in order to capture that same Mahayana Period woman, who also had an Exotic Treasure, they had already lost their third brother.

In their current weakened state, facing an enemy who had slain the Left Envoy, they would certainly not be foolish enough to oppose him!

And with the two’s extraordinary escaping techniques, upon fleeing separately, facing an enemy who was only at Mahayana Period, indeed, at least one of them could escape and report the incident to the leader of the Black Mystery Sect!

"Sigh... troublesome."

Fang Xi sighed deeply, and a pitch-black seal emerged in his hand, the Life-Death Seal!

The phantom of the Ancestral Demon Tree appeared, with indescribable Mysterious Light flashing from atop its crown, merging countless Dragon Chapter Scripts and sweeping across the Escape Lights of the two Mahayana in an instant.

—Supreme Northern Dipper Life-controlling Divine Light!

Within moments, the two protectors, both capable of fighting the Left Envoy, met their end, turning into two corpses that plummeted!

Fang Xi snapped his fingers, and Zangmingzi went to retrieve the Storage Talismans from the two.

After a glance, the glow of silver light in his hand flashed, sending the corpses of the Mahayana Monks, along with their Storage Talismans and magical treasures, all into the Earth Immortal Realm.

Whatever identifications they had on them, by doing this, all had been cut off.

"Now, there’s only one trouble left, after I eliminate the witness, I’ll be able to continue lying low."

Fang Xi touched his Escape Light and landed on top of the bronze carriage.

This Exotic Treasure had been thoroughly written off after the magic battle, no longer possessing any marvels.

In contrast, the girl who lay with her eyes closed, her skin like jade, seemed pitiful and endearing.

"Has that woman who plotted against me died already?"

Fang Xi murmured to himself, stretching out his right hand, pressing it on the top of the head of the girl who had not yet reached Foundation Establishment.

—Soul Searching!

Given the strength of his Divine Thought now, this was extremely easy for him.

In fact, Fang Xi had initially planned to search the soul of the Left Envoy’s Nascent Soul, then throw it back into the Earth Immortal Realm, erasing all traces along the way.

Soon, a series of information surfaced in Fang Xi’s mind.

The girl’s name was ’Yue Ying,’ a disciple of a Mahayana power, ’Mingyue Palace,’ her aunt, who was the palace master, the only Mahayana Cultivator in the sect.

They lived comfortably, supplying the Golden Bamboo Sea with a special Spirit Medicine produced in their palace.

But a few years ago, this girl unexpectedly tested positive for a unique constitution—the ’Mysterious Body.’

This Immortal Body was basically diagnosed as a terminal illness in the Lower Realm.

However, in the True Immortal Realm, it had long been solved. All it took was a Mahayana Cultivator to regularly nourish her meridians with Immortal Origin Power in combination with a certain secret technique, and her Cultivation would skyrocket.

Even more so, once this Immortal Body reached the Mahayana Period, it could produce a ’Mysterious Spiritual Liquid’ that, if applied to the entire body, could reduce the power of the next Immortal Thunder Tribulation by about ten to twenty percent!

Yue Ying was naturally treated as a treasure by her aunt, who cast a secret skill to conceal her Immortal Body.

For some unknown reason, this information was somehow learned by the Leader of the Black Mystery Sect.

The Black Mystery Sect pressured Mingyue Palace to hand over Yue Ying. Yue Ying’s aunt refused, which resulted in the destruction of Mingyue Palace, and she and her aunt fled on the palace’s treasure carriage, the Moon Chariot.

Then, she encountered Fang Xi...

"So boring..."

Fang Xi yawned, forming a hand seal with one hand.

The power of the Spirit Realm descended, and the prohibitions on Yue Ying instantly crumbled to dust.

"Auntie..."

Yue Ying whimpered, waking up to see Fang Xi, her expression changing immediately: "You are... the Mahayana Monk from before!"

"Precisely..."

Fang Xi stood with his hands behind his back, smiling faintly, "Your aunt used a secret skill to transfer the Thousand Soul Incense to harm me. Now that she is dead, it seems her many wrongdoings... Have you anything to say?"

Yue Ying bit her silver teeth and knelt down decisively: "This humble woman, Yue Ying, possessing the ’Mysterious Body’, wishes to take you as her master..."

"Take me as your master?"

Fang Xi laughed loudly: "Do you hate me?"

"Yue Ying has no personal grievance with the gentleman..." Yue Ying forced a smile, but she believed that no Mahayana Monk could resist the temptation of ’Mysterious Spiritual Liquid’.

The next moment, Fang Xi’s words darkened her world.

"My Divine Thought has already searched your soul without you realizing it..."

Fang Xi sighed, "You hate me... Hate me for not stopping earlier to fight alongside you against the strong foe. Had I done so, your aunt might not have died..."

"Senior..." Yue Ying’s complexion changed, wanting to say more, but then darkness engulfed her vision, and she lost consciousness forever...

Fang Xi had no intention of engaging in a debate with her.

The world is filled with all sorts, and changing someone’s fundamental views is harder than ascending to the heavens. It’s simpler to just ignore them or send them to their death...

’Recently, everyone involved has died, and the traces have been dispatched to the Earth Immortal Realm...’

’It should be impossible to trace back to me.’

As for the techniques of Heavenly Secret divination, with the Treasures of All Heaven suppressing his fortune, Fang Xi was least afraid of it.

Thus, after cleaning up the battlefield, he rode the Escape Light towards the Golden Bamboo Sea Spirit Mountain.

...

’Indeed... Was it just coincidence before?’

Spirit Mountain.

Fang Xi landed on the Sky Terrace, murmuring to himself.

Since that incident, he had not encountered any other troubles on his journey.

As for the so-called ’Thousand Soul Incense’?

After searching the soul of the Left Envoy and finding the related secret skills and methods to neutralize it, he had directly dispelled it, feeding her Nascent Soul to the Ancestral Demon Tree.

Overall, he left no loose ends.

The secrets within the Left Envoy’s heart, however, intrigued Fang Xi.

’The leader of the Black Mystery Sect is actually a ’Ghost Immortal’! For a Ghost Cultivator to become an Immortal, overcoming the Mahayana Immortal Thunder Tribulation is unimaginably difficult. Those who succeed are truly exceptional figures...’

Fang Xi silently assessed the likelihood that Abundant Karma House would abandon him if the matter were to be exposed.

’As a major power, it’s unlikely they would give up a Mahayana guest over a few threats from a Ghost Immortal...’

’Besides, this is Spirit Mountain, and even that Ghost Immortal would have to give some face to the great monks here... As long as I do not leave Spirit Mountain, there shouldn’t be much of a problem.’

’Of course, I won’t allow myself to be put in a situation where I’d need to be weighed.’

If the matter were exposed and the leader of the Black Mystery Sect sought revenge.

Fang Xi would certainly flee at the first opportunity, letting everything else, including Abundant Karma House, go to hell!

Even a single one of his hairs is more precious than this entire power structure combined.

...

Six Chan Building.

Inside the private room.

"Supreme Elder... As I’ve said, my acquaintance with that senior is superficial, we’re just neighbors..."

Shi Yushu looked at Qi Min, a bitter smile appearing on his face.

"Alas..."

Qi Min’s wrinkled face scrunched up even more as he sat on the armchair smoking a pipe.

After a long time, he exhaled a puff of smoke: "Our Three Yuan Sect really struggles to establish a foothold. Things have been unstable outside recently. The Black Mystery Sect destroyed Mingyue Palace, and there’s war and death everywhere..."

"What’s that got to do with us?" Shi Yushu was full of confusion.

"Our Three Yuan Sect depends on Mingyue Palace, what do you think?" Qi Min exclaimed as he hopped off the chair and placed the pipe bowl on his waist, "Enough, enough... Sometimes I truly want to just dissolve the sect so as to avoid such worries and vexations..."

He walked out of the private room with his hands behind his back, looking troubled.

Shi Yushu was also somewhat lost.

Fighting was forbidden within Spirit Mountain, but outside, small factions rose and fell by the dozen every century.

Could it be that the small sect he had joined was about to fall too?

With many worries on his mind, he intended to leave, only to be stopped by a smiling maid: "Esteemed guest, you haven’t settled the bill yet..."
