Chapter 1098: Chapter 952: Undying Cultivation (End of Month Plea for Monthly Pass)

Three Realms Mountain.

Originally, the territories of the human, demon, and devil races, it had recently been fully incorporated into the human race’s domain.

However, upon those various battlefields, endless dangers still lurked.

Moreover, the remains of fallen experts from the three races signified a place where danger and opportunity coexisted.

As of today, it even became an infamous forbidden land within the human territories, attracting generations of Immortal Cultivators to enter its depths recklessly in search of exploration.

On this day.

A flash of silver light.

Fang Xi’s figure appeared directly within the Three Realms Mountain.

"This place... indeed is the focus of fate."

He stood with his hands behind his back, above his head the Mother Qi of All Woods condensed into a piece of green Celebrating Cloud, within which five-colored inscriptions tumbled continuously.

Around the perimeter of the Celebrating Cloud, storm, rain, thunder, and lightning gathered as if the Earth Immortal Realm was unleashing heavenly retribution on him, a descended Immortal!

Unfortunately for them, Fang Xi within the Celebrating Cloud seemed to possess an air of invulnerability to endless tribulations, remaining steadfast and unmoved despite the power of Rules pressing down on him.

At this moment, in his eyes, all things in the world broke down into their most basic Primordial Energy.

At the beginning of time, there existed a chaos of mixed matter!

The Earth Immortal Realm was as chaotic as a pre-hatched egg, grand and vast.

But when it came to the core hub, the central axis, it was actually located in the land where the three races of humans, demons, and devils intersected!

"Starting from here, it’s easiest to refine the essence of heaven and earth!"

"From this perspective, the three races of humans, demons, and devils are truly blessed; they chose this area as their territory, and thus they have profound fortune and blessings... continually fighting over the Three Realms Mountain, aiming to become the one and eternal overlord..."

As an Earth Immortal, Fang Xi saw things from a different angle.

At this moment, after briefly measuring the land, he located a specific spot on the Three Realms Mountain.

"According to the ’Earth Immortal Undying Skills,’ the ’Spirit Induction’ method anchors right here..."

Fang Xi stood atop a hill sharp as a blade’s edge and muttered to himself, "It’s just that it’s uncertain how long this Secret Skill will take to succeed... I still need to be more cautious."

Before long, a flash of golden light appeared in the sky—it was the ’East Imperial Profound Real Infinite Evergreen Emperor,’ an Incarnation of the God Path!

This Incarnation, though long in seclusion, suppressing its divine transformation, had reached a crucial moment.

Fang Xi watched the Incarnation, his eyebrows involuntarily furrowing.

In his perception, what lay ahead was no longer a God Path Incarnation but a radiant clarity, like water. Through this layer of radiance, one seemed to be able to peer directly into the mountains, rivers, plains, swamps of the Earth Immortal Realm, and even into the vast variety of Earth Immortals, the myriad states of the mortal world, red dust of the three realms...

Even the entire universe’s stars, the Tai Yin and Tai Yang, and also the Yin and Yang, the Three Pure Ones, Four Symbols, Five Elements, Six Harmonies, Seven Stars, Eight Diagrams, Nine Palaces...

"Heavenly Emperor..."

Fang Xi muttered, realizing that the divine transformation of the God Path Incarnation had reached an extremely critical point.

If not for his strenuous suppression, with just one thought, he could potentially ascend to the position of the ’Heavenly Emperor’!

’Is it because the human race has become the overlord of the Earth Immortal Realm?’

’The faith of billions of ordinary people and Cultivators... almost led the Incarnation of the God Path to irreversible doom.’

’Fortunately, this time I acquired the Secret Skill of ’Three Purities into One,’ which can forcibly reclaim a sliver of Divine Soul...’

He murmured, and then a point of light flashed in his hand, transforming into a palace as lustrous as fine jade.

This grand and vast palace was surrounded by ascended mists and radiant lights of ten thousand colors, symbolically known as the ’Fang Immortal Taoist Palace.’

As a Cave Heaven class Immortal Device, even in the True Immortal Realm, it was extremely precious.

Now given by Fang Xi to the God Path Incarnation, the two communicated without words.

The God Path Incarnation immediately commandeered the Fang Immortal Taoist Palace, moving towards various locations on the Three Realms Mountain. From within the palace, the Incarnation retrieved items for forming Arrays and even used its divine authority to alter the courses of mountains and rivers, gathering the dragon veins of heaven and earth to forge a ninth-rank array!

It didn’t take long.

Those Cultivators wandering in the Three Realms Mountain were shocked to find the Void nearby fluctuating inexplicably, starting to become unstable.

Among the Void, pale white arcs appeared one after another; these were Void Cracks, which even Cultivators who had achieved Returning to Emptiness integration would steer clear from!

Countless Void Cracks densely filled the air both inside and outside the Three Realms Mountain.

The closer one got to the heart of the Three Realms Mountain, the more pervasive the Void rifts, some even moving rapidly, causing terrible Void Storms!

This strange phenomenon naturally attracted many risk-loving Cultivators to explore, but Fang Xi would not be polite to them.

Driven by greed, all those who ventured into the Three Realms Mountain vanished without a trace, including several Integrations!

Such horrific losses eventually alarmed the Mahayana of the human race!

When Mo Yunzi personally arrived and investigated, he explained it as a heavenly and earthly anomaly, that the Three Realms Mountain and nearby regions had experienced a rare ’regional Higher Realm’ phenomenon!

Perhaps one day, the land here would be completely torn apart by Void Storms, or a continent would be cleaved off, falling into the Void to become a peculiar place like Falling Sky Island.

Since then, the Three Realms Mountain had become an infamous forbidden land for the human race, and this reputation continued for ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years...

Later on, even rookie Immortal Cultivators knew the Three Realms Mountain was a highly dangerous area where entry meant certain death, hence they avoided it at all costs...

...

Deep within the Three Realms Mountain, a majestic palace floated in the clouds, adorned with the changing hues of dawn and dusk, an abode of weather divine, from which auspicious vapors gracefully descended in abundance.

Beneath the Fang Immortal Taoist Palace, two figures were seated cross-legged.

Fang Xi’s hands were forming seals, as the "Three Purities into One" Secret Skill neared its critical final moment.

Opposite him, the God Path Incarnation of the "East Imperial Profound Real Infinite Evergreen Emperor" had become nearly ethereal.

"Disperse!"

Fang Xi’s fingers fluttered rapidly before finally converging into a single seal, which he thrust into the body of the God Path Incarnation.

The God Path Incarnation smiled faintly, radiating a multicolored brilliance.

The various hues of light blended and then purified into a single color – a translucent white!

Gradually...

The white light became even more transparent, causing the body of the God Path Incarnation to assume an ethereal form as well.

All that remained was a flickering spirit light as a jade-like God Path talisman and an earthy-yellow pearl fell from the sky, which Fang Xi caught with an outstretched hand, absorbing them into the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm within him.

"The God Path Lord talisman... I’ll decide how to use it in the future, and there’s also this Mountain Pearl."

Fang Xi regarded the Mountain Pearl.

Originally a remnant of an Alien race Integration cultivator’s core, it was naturally suited for the sacrificial refining of an incarnation.

Now, having been used as the foundation for the God Path Lord Incarnation and refined for ten thousand years, constantly immersed in the power of Mahayana God Path, its quality was exceptionally high, reaching the upper echelon of the eighth rank, verging on the ninth rank!

"Theoretically, it could barely be used as material for crafting an Earth Attribute Immortal Device..."

"If I really can’t find a suitable Earth Attribute Immortal family flying sword in the end, I might try using it to forge a makeshift one..."

Behind Fang Xi, his Origin Soul manifested like a full moon, with the Ancestral Demon Tree spreading its branches.

The original fragment of a heterodox incarnation within the God Path Lord Incarnation had, over the years, been nurtured to far surpass the heterodox incarnation.

Moreover, retrieving the last fragment of his split Divine Soul had brought Fang Xi’s Origin Soul to complete fulfillment, continuously emanating brilliant light.

"Indeed, a fulfilled Divine Soul, a unique True Spirit... has great benefits for an Earth Immortal’s cultivation."

Feeling the changes within his Origin Soul, a hint of joy appeared on Fang Xi’s face.

He then sat cross-legged, as the mantra and various precautions of the "Earth Immortal Undying Skills" he had previously contemplated flowed through his mind like a clear mountain spring.

Fang Xi remained seated in silence for nine days, when his hands suddenly began to form seals at a rapid pace.

Numerous Immortal Mansion Secret Inscriptions emerged, fluttering like countless butterflies, flying in all directions and disappearing into the void.

Whoosh!

Outside, the wind, rain, thunder, and lightning suddenly intensified, but the Celebrating Cloud, transformed from the Mother Qi of All Woods, stood over Fang Xi’s head like a green Spirit Ganoderma, shielding him from all worldly disturbances.

After eighty-one days,

Fang Xi rose abruptly to his feet, his Origin Soul manifesting outward, and a sweep of crystal-clear Magic Power cleansed the earth.

Behind him, the tattoo of the Monster Tree shifted rapidly, and then a Monster Tree seed emerged, falling upon the soil.

Threads of the Mother Qi of All Woods infused the seed, and a Monster Tree sapling promptly sprouted from the earth, quickly engulfing the Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy.

Fang Xi’s Origin Soul extended into the void, aware of all changes in the world, and seemed to merge with the Monster Tree.

Countless roots burrowed deeper, as if intending to pierce the heart of the earth to touch the very essence of the world and even the core "Heart of Heaven Imprint"!

Boom!

The world suddenly trembled.

At that moment, near the Three Realms Mountain, countless birds, beasts, and even Wild Beasts and Cultivators... all living beings abruptly turned their heads to look toward the Three Realms Mountain, their eyes filled with inexplicable hatred and aversion.

"The integration with the world’s essence has begun..."

Looking at the thriving Monster Tree sapling, Fang Xi sat down cross-legged again, quietly concentrating on his practice.

Achieving the "Earth Immortal Undying Skills" was not an overnight feat; it might take decades, centuries, or even millennia – it was indeed a possibility!

Even along the path of cultivation, backlash from the world was inevitable!

A slightly less fortunate Earth Immortal might even fall on the spot!

"According to the description within the ’Earth Immortal Undying Skills,’ having just begun to integrate with the world’s essence, the response of the world is the slowest... This should be considered the first stage."

A plethora of thoughts whizzed through Fang Xi’s mind in meditation: "At this stage, the world would favor those who stand against me, that is, the Alien and Demon races! Starting today, it is possible that these races will continually produce prodigies with exceptional Spiritual Roots or born with complete Spirit Bodies! Not only that, the Alien race’s experts will be favored by the fortunes of the Earth Immortal realm, making their tribulations easier, and they might even discover ancient Dongfus, replete with opportunities, and there could even be the birth of genuine ’children of fortune’..."

"This is the greatest test for the human race!"

"Then comes the second stage, where anyone who opposes me will receive the world’s blessings, even Human Cultivators... It’s possible that in the end, I’ll become the enemy of the entire world! There’s no helping it."

Fang Xi knew that integrating with the world’s essence meant holding the fate of all beings within this realm in his hands.

He could even diminish the Taoist Cultivation of a Mahayana Monk, knock them down from their realm, or directly promote low-level Cultivators to any realm below Mahayana!

This power, almost akin to that of a creator, was naturally bound to incite fierce opposition from all beings of the world!

In the final stage, all three tribulations of heaven, earth, and humanity would arise simultaneously, facing countless hardships, innumerable unimaginable trials...
