Chapter 1090: Chapter 944 Startling News

Mount Fengxue.

At the base of this mountain lies an Immortal Vein, and goose-feather-like snow falls year-round without cease.

This snow is the solidification of the "Nine Heavens Pure Ling Water," possessing the divine effect of nourishing all things. Therefore, even the most ordinary wild grass on this mountain range is as efficacious as millennia-old spirit medicine, making it a true treasure-land!

The headquarters of the Abundant Karma House was established here.

Auspicious snow fluttered down.

Inside the modest abode, a small red clay stove burned slowly, and the Spiritual Tea bubbled with hot steam.

Miss Six still had the appearance of a delicate beauty, dressed in a snow-white fox fur coat, which made her features even more tender. Her cheeks carried a touch of rosy blush, like proud snow-red plums.

Since her marital union with Dugu Fangxi, the couple were united in heart and mind, far outpacing any competitors. Miss Six’s life could be described as extremely comfortable.

As for that someone exiled to a distant place, except for the occasional thought thousands of years ago, and having mentioned it once, since that person did not appreciate kindness, he was naturally long forgotten by her.

Suddenly!

A stream of Clear Qi descended, revealing the figure of a middle-aged scholar who said with a chuckle, "Miss Six, you truly are lucky..."

"Good fortune, could it be that Master Fang has already made a breakthrough to the Celestial Immortal status?"

Miss Six’s beautiful eyes lit up.

Dugu Fang was a cultivator of assiduous nature. Aside from a few incidents where he acted, most of his time was spent in secluded cultivation, which made her feel somewhat frustrated in her heart.

"How difficult is it to break through to Celestial Immortal status? Especially the ninth Immortal Thunder Calamity, it holds another profound mystery..."

Immortal Xuan Qing sat down with a smile, and Miss Six came forward to pour tea, her demeanor very humble.

They listened to the Immortal continue, "I once read a classic text, and according to it, to become a Celestial Immortal, not only a large amount of external effort is required, but the cauldron also needs to be polished to perfection. And the ninth Immortal Thunder Calamity of Mahayana would be different, named ’Enlightenment Thunder Tribulation’!"

"Enlightenment Thunder Tribulation?!" Miss Six blinked, seeming to have never heard of such a term before.

"The so-called ’Enlightenment Thunder Tribulation’ is such that if the cultivator cannot wonderfully comprehend the profound mystery, the ninth thunder calamity will not descend at all..."

Immortal Xuan Qing sighed, "Since there is no thunder calamity, naturally, one cannot become an immortal. This is something that not even secret thunder-calming skills can change."

Miss Six’s face turned pale.

For ordinary Mahayana monks, they wished that the heaven calamity would never arrive.

But for a Mahayana monk capable of becoming an immortal, it was quite distressing for the Immortal Thunder Calamity to be delayed.

"Then why are you teasing me, uncle?" Miss Six acted like a little girl, tugging at Immortal Xuan Qing’s sleeve.

It was somewhat impressive that she could still use this act naturally even after becoming someone’s wife.

"Sigh... When I say you are lucky, indeed you are."

Immortal Xuan Qing sighed, "Thousands of years ago, in the Fiery Sun Immortal City, the two guests we took in both turned out to possess the stature of immortals!"

"Immortals? To become an immortal?"

Miss Six thought for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "Is it that Lord Fang Xi? Could it be that he gained some opportunity and made rapid progress, able to catch up with Master Fang? After all, Master Fang has already transcended eight tribulations..."

Immortal Xuan Qing gave her a deep look and then said, "Not quite, not quite... I just received news that Lord Fang, after ten thousand years of arduous cultivation in the Golden Bamboo Sea, made an astonishing breakthrough, and has now achieved the fruit status of an Earth Immortal!"

"Fang Xi... an Earth Immortal?!"

Miss Six thought back to that Mahayana Talisman Master who always avoided impropriety, feeling that her impression of him was very faint, merely a common Mahayana Talisman Master.

She found it hard to associate him with the revered Earth Immortals: "How can this be possible?"

"Yes, how can this be possible? Perhaps... this person has some other opportunity on him. He must have found a Heaven and Earth Spirit Root that fit him perfectly early on. No wonder he entered our house only seeking the Earth Immortal Heritage!"

Immortal Xuan Qing chuckled, "Even though he has just become an Earth Immortal, he has surpassed me, this unworthy True Immortal of Origin Soul, by a great deal, and his future path is even more expansive... You’ve won over an Immortal to support our house; that is a great achievement. Now is the time to make good connections. If that Immortal supports you, who else but you should take the position of Master? Your father has long been impatient with secular affairs in the house and will cede his position in another ten thousand years. If you then become the Master and gain the full support of Abundant Karma House, you are likely to become an Immortal. Your Immortal Grade might be elevated, or you might even achieve the status of an Earth Immortal. This is the Way of Longevity and it is not to be neglected!"

The background of the Abundant Karma House was a group of immortals, though most of them were just of the level of Human Immortals, Divine Immortals, or Ghost Immortals.

Moreover, those contesting for the position of the next Master typically have the support of just one Immortal.

Otherwise, Miss Six would not be able to pull so far ahead having the support of Immortal Xuan Qing and by winning over Dugu Fang, who has the stature of a Celestial Immortal.

But Dugu Fang was after all not yet a Celestial Immortal!

The participation of an Earth Immortal was enough to change the battle situation and settle the universe!

"I... I need to think carefully about this."

Miss Six felt her heart in turmoil.

"Miss Six, you must act swiftly. Little Seven has already set out directly to seek that Sir Fang. If she gets there first, that would be troublesome..."

Immortal Xuan Qing hinted.

"Little Seven..."

A shadow flashed in Miss Six’s mind, and she couldn’t help but clench her teeth.

...

Golden Bamboo Sea.

"You, go wipe the shelves clean..."

"You, go mop the floor."

Inside the Abundant Karma House, Little Immortal Fang began to give orders, taking on the role of the chief steward.

Jin Yuanzi and a group of disciples inwardly felt bitter, but had to keep smiling faces, "What Little Master says is right..."

They are currently under Prohibition set by Fang Xi, relegated by Fang Xian to do menial tasks, as both a minor punishment and a major admonition.

Just then, a monk wearing a scarlet robe, a rooster hat, and holding a string of white bone beads entered the small store of the Abundant Karma House.

"Another Immortal, from the Buddhism Sect, known as ’Immortal Zhengjue’..."

Jin Yuanzi trembled inwardly upon seeing this person.

"Amitabha, this poor monk is ’Enduring Concealment’, seeking an audience with Mr. Fang."

This Immortal Zhengjue looked incredibly old, his face covered with layers upon layers of wrinkles and large patches of black and red tattoos that made him look rather fierce.

Little Immortal Fang shivered unconsciously, then ignited a talisman in his hand.

Craaack!

A burst of verdant radiance suddenly blossomed from the store, opening up a void.

"Amitabha, as expected, it is the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm."

Enduring Concealment smiled slightly and stepped boldly into the void.

With the world spinning, he soon arrived within the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm.

"This poor monk has seen Sir, congratulations on achieving the fruit position of Earth Immortal!"

Enduring Concealment looked around at the Spiritual Field full of herbs and rice, joined his hands together in respect, feeling somewhat envious in his heart.

The other’s Immortal Grade was much higher than his, and he had far greater hopes of becoming a Buddha in the future.

"Master Enduring Concealment is too gracious."

Fang Xi was sitting cross-legged on a bed of blue clouds, a smile on his face as he transformed the Mother Qi of All Woods into a cushion, inviting the master to sit.

"This poor monk is under the command of the ’King Buddha of Freedom and Wisdom in the World’, and having learned of your achievement as an Earth Immortal, I’ve come to offer my congratulations..."

Enduring Concealment held a document in both hands, and as he pronounced a Buddhist chant, the document became enveloped in golden light, making its way into Fang Xi’s hands: "This deed to the Dongfu is a congratulatory gift."

"It is actually the permanent deed to a Spirit Mountain Dongfu..."

Fang Xi glanced at it, and his heart stirred slightly: ’Well, that’s generous, sending a whole building.’

This Dongfu was, in fact, a towering structure a ten thousand meters high.

Taking possession of it, even collecting rents every year would be very lucrative.

Of course, for Immortals, it’s just another matter.

After all, they are wandering freely with long lives. With patience, planting Spirit Medicine that grows over ten thousand, a hundred thousand, or even a million years... would earn them a lucrative sum just the same.

Therefore, after reaching the realm of Immortals, any Spirit Medicine that takes tens of thousands or millions of years to grow is not considered precious, unless it is one of those that are naturally formed by heaven and earth and cannot be reseeded for a second generation.

"Thank you..."

Fang Xi smiled and began to chat with Master Enduring Concealment.

This Master Enduring Concealment, who presided over the Golden Bamboo Sea, had a good understanding of Beichen Immortal Domain, Bliss Profound Realm, and even the Eastern Profound Sea Immortal Domain, which greatly widened Fang Xi’s horizons.

Of course, Fang Xi shared some insights into cultivation, which made Enduring Concealment nod repeatedly in agreement.

"What... Recently, all the major Immortal Domains have been paying attention to the Immortals ascending from the Lower Realm, why?"

Fang Xi inadvertently heard Master Enduring Concealment mention this piece of news and couldn’t help but be moved.

"This poor monk does not know the details, only that it is at the request of other major forces!"

Master Enduring Concealment laughed: "We are all ascended from the True Immortal Realm, there’s no need to care about these things..."

"That’s true," Fang Xi mused, his heart trembling silently.

He now knew that the rules of the True Immortal Realm were incredibly strict, making an ’achievement’ like smuggling into the Earth Immortal Realm from the mortal world impossible.

And every Medium Thousand World has its own ’Immortal Cleansing Pool’.

Therefore, any Ascending Immortals would be received by corresponding Immortal Palaces or other major forces...

He had already made an appearance in the True Immortal Realm and was considered a native in the eyes of outsiders, which spared him a lot of trouble.

"Speaking of which, I’ve also seen a book that says, in the Medium Thousand Worlds, the Ascending Immortals are all incredibly gifted and exceptional."

Fang Xi brought up an interesting tale.

"Amitabha, those who can ascend to the Upper Realm need good aptitude, mindset, opportunity, and perseverance, they are indeed very extraordinary..."

Master Enduring Concealment chuckled: "But once they enter the Immortal Palaces, they tend to become indistinguishable, and the ones that truly stand out in the end are the native disciples..."

With this statement alone, Fang Xi’s heart grew cold, knowing there must be underhanded dealings with the Immortal Cleansing Pool.

However, the matter was too significant, so after probing a few times indirectly, he immediately changed the subject and returned to discussing cultivation...

It was not until both sides had enjoyed their conversation that Master Enduring Concealment bid farewell and left.

"Immortal Palace, Immortal Cleansing Pool... The major forces are searching for the recent Ascending Immortals..."

Fang Xi closed off the Spirit Realm and his expression grew serious...

...

Several months later.

"Wow, another beautiful big sister has come."

Fang Xian looked up to see a lady in a white dress gracefully entering Abundant Karma House and couldn’t help but call out.

"Hehe... Thank you for the compliment, Sir."

This lady in the white dress bore some resemblance to Miss Six but was even more radiant and alluring: "Please tell your master that ’Little Seven’ would like to see him!"

"Miss Seven!"

Jin Yuanzi and the other cultivators saw the young lady in white and quickly came forward to pay their respects.

"If you have offended Lord Fang, the sin is truly unforgivable. After I discuss with Lord Fang, I will come back to decide your fates."

Miss Seven snorted coldly, and with a flash of blue light, a young man in a green robe appeared, his eyes lighting up: "Xuan’er pays respects to the elder!"
