Chapter 1106: Chapter 960 Mixed Origin Chaos Book (Extra Chapter for Subscription)

"The great Dao seems promising!"

Fang Xi was extremely excited.

His art of divination, when spoken of, would surely astonish many cultivators.

After all, such methods of prediction mainly depend on one’s own Daoist cultivation and magic power...

As long as the cultivation is high enough and the magic power is strong enough, it’s natural to be able to predict many things, as if observing the pattern of one’s own palm.

His Illusionary True Spirit, at the very least, had the Daoist cultivation of an Origin Soul, and although it came from a different world, the fruition was high.

The cultivation was also that of ’Earth Chakra Origin Truth’ magic power, serving as the key to assimilating the accumulations of the True Immortal Realm.

What’s more, there was the ’Treasures of All Heavens’ to suppress his own karmic fate.

Together, the art of prediction had reached a kind of summit.

Compared to that, if an ordinary swordsman or Sword Immortal learned some kind of divination like ’Xuan Tian Life-Commanding Art’, ’Six Lines Yi Art’, ’Plum Blossom Divination’ or other classics, and tried to predict him, they wouldn’t be able to figure out anything useful. This is the difference of a great gap in Daoist cultivation and magic strength!

Using a lower realm to calculate a higher one is a big taboo!

Not to mention the backlash of the heavenly secret, those righteous elders could blur the heavenly secret with a single thought, or even mislead the divination results, causing the diviner to tread on a path to their own death!

For example, Fang Xi recently, looking at public data is still acceptable.

But if one wanted to predict where a Heavenly Book has appeared, or where an Immortal Sword and ancient supreme treasures are hidden, it would inevitably trigger the karma associated with the past owners of these Heavenly Books, or even the creators of the magic treasures.

If it concerned Individual Immortals or Earth Immortals it would still be alright, but if they were relics left by ancient Celestial or Gold Immortals, haha...

With his Daoist cultivation, he might be seen through.

It might be okay if he could satisfy the karmic cause and effect or ’repay’ it with external cultivation skills, but if he tried to forcefully take them, that’s incurring karma and he would meet with calamities!

If he got involved too much, it’s possible that a Gold Immortal might descend from the Heavenly World, becoming Fang Xi’s ’Human Tribulation’!

’Fortunately, I have a supreme treasure suppressing my fate, as long as I don’t trigger too high a karma, I shouldn’t be discovered...’

’But on the other hand, even with hiding, if I act too often, I’ll eventually expose my tracks!’

Fang Xi silently calculated his own tribulations.

He had recently overcome one tribulation and took a step into the Dao, and could even further refine his Daoist cultivation.

But the trouble with tribulations is that each one leads to the next!

For example, the Different Person that Yan Tie had saved before, Peng Xifan, was a Minor Path Sword Immortal.

If he knew that he had killed Yan Tie, he would certainly make trouble for himself.

Moreover, this person also had a Sect and a group of close friends. If he killed him with another sword, it would just be endless trouble.

He’d have to completely eradicate his Sect and root out the problem to be free.

But such actions, in the eyes of righteous Sword Immortals, would be the very image of a Demon Path giant...

"This is the trouble with karma; one leads to the next, compelling you to enter this web..."

"However, there’s not no way to break free, such as directly subduing the Cold Mountain Swordsmen or sealing a wisp of his soul to make him obey like a dog..."

"As long as the magic power is strong enough, with the aid of subtle divination, one can be invincible in this world!"

"Therefore, I should first cultivate strong magic power."

Fang Xi pondered over the Daoist books he held. ’Earth Origin Gold Book’ had reached a dead end, and the books from Old Crow Temple were beneath his consideration.

"With my current Daoist cultivation, trying to predict the location of a Celestial Immortal inheritance is difficult... and even if I found it, it’s likely that without sufficient external skills, I wouldn’t be able to break the prohibition and obtain the inheritance... forcing it would only bring about more terrible calamities."

"It seems I should first deduce the subsequent magic spells myself?"

Fang Xi had only obtained a page of ’Earth Origin Gold Book’, but it had laid a solid foundation.

As for the continuation?

Having cultivated magic power and understood the differences between the two worlds, he was quite confident in creating his own cultivation methods.

Although the routes and even Divine Skills of some cultivation methods from the True Immortal Realm had to be entirely discarded and started over, with his broad perspective from law comprehension, creating an Individual Immortal tradition was not difficult.

’In this world’s cultivation, the foundation is of utmost importance, and the requirements for the cultivation root vessel are also quite high. What was considered a Heaven Grade Spiritual Root in the previous life, in this world, is just an imbalanced waste...’

’Actually, cultivating Mortal Skills is not bad in this world, but there’s always the suspicion of establishing a Taoist system and incurring great karma; it’s best not to do so until I’ve obtained what I want...’

Mortal Skills are a convenient method, after all, humans invariably have Spiritual Roots, albeit so weak as to be almost non-existent.

With enough resources, such as Spiritual Objects that can stimulate and enhance Spiritual Roots, it’s even possible to transform an ordinary person into a genius with Heaven Grade or even Immortal Grade Spiritual Roots. Combined with an Immortal Body, without worrying about any opportunities or external skills, one can face big bottlenecks head-on by consuming elixirs, making cultivation incredibly rapid.

However, Fang Xi, who was determined to pursue inheritance in this world, naturally set aside the Mortal Skills first.

"In the True Immortal Realm, I cultivated the ’Kuyong Skills’, which is considered purely wood-attribute cultivation, but in this world, it is an off-track good... It’s best to base it on the ’Five Elements’ in this world. The Five Elements are fundamental to the Dao wherever they are placed. Cultivating this way is balanced and equable, with a deep foundation and a limitless future..."

With the advantage of higher realm cultivation and ’Earth Origin Gold Book’ as reference, Fang Xi immediately started to deduce, combining his own ’Kuyong Skills’.

"Kuyong Skills started purely with wood cultivation, but later entered the realm of the Law of Life and Death... Life and Death, Yin-Yang... the Wood of the Five Elements begets the others, and indeed is the beginning of the Five Elements!"

"Life and Death, Yin-Yang, positive and negative..."

Fang Xi, with his personal principles comprehension and the Art of Calculation, polished the perfect Taoist foundation to sense the infinite primordial energy between heaven and earth, and then quickly locked onto ten kinds of it!

The Qi of Jia Wood, Yi Wood, Bing Fire, Ding Fire, Wu Earth, Ji Earth, Geng Metal, Xin Metal, Ren Water, Gui Water!

"Wood, the beginning of the Five Elements, water, the end of the Five Elements... Wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates metal, metal generates water; the cycle repeats, this is the Dao of the Five Elements!"

Fang Xi used the Law of Life and Death Daoist Species of the embryonic level to hold the intent of Yin-Yang, and then further divided it into the Yin Five Elements and Yang Five Elements.

The union of Yin and Yang Five Elements transformed the ten great primordial energies in his hands into a sphere of sparkling, colorful marvelous light.

Within this, there were also the contributions of Wu Xingzi’s cultivation comprehension left from the past.

Although the skills and Divine Skills of Wu Xingzi and Old Meng belonged to the True Immortal Realm, once Fang Xi obtained the magic power of this world as a key, he modified them slightly, and was barely able to make them compatible.

"The Yang Five Elements, Jia Wood, Bing Fire, Wu Earth, Geng Metal, Ren Water... can form the Five Elements Divine Thunder Divine Skill."

"Refining the Yin Five Elements in reverse, Yi Wood, Ding Fire, Ji Earth, Xin Metal, Gui Water... can transform into the Five Elements Annihilation God Needle!"

"When Yin and Yang combine, it becomes the Yin-Yang Reverse Five Elements Two Yi Extinguishing Divine Light!"

"Aside from that, it also contains many small Five Elements Skills, such as the Five Elements Heavenly Escape, Five Fire God Thunder, and so forth..."

"If one day I find the Origin Magnetism cultivation method and incorporate it, its power will increase even further..."

"Moreover, cultivating the Five Elements Skills is particularly suitable for later controlling the Five Elements attribute Flying Swords within the Eight Gates Sword Array!"

After many days of closed-door cultivation, Fang Xi finally deduced a general outline of a Five Elements cultivation method that could follow the beginner Chapter of the "Earth Origin Gold Book."

"Success! Although... by doing this, I’ve entered a side path."

Historically, those side path Sword Immortals mostly received an inheritance from predecessors, which was often incomplete, forcing them to seek other superficial methods, or even heretical or demonic skills to complete it. Even if the original inheritance was half of a Heavenly Book, by doing this, they would still fall into a side path and find it difficult to achieve ascension to Immortality.

"Earth represents the virtue of being generous and sustaining all things; carrying the Five Elements with ’Earth Chakra Origin Truth’ entering the path of the Five Elements, it can be said to be quite suitable. If I cultivate it to the deepest level, I might be able to refine my Origin Soul and gain Scattered Immortal Fruition... It can be considered a very exquisite inheritance among the side paths."

"Unfortunately, it is after all a side path, diverging from the original intent of the ’Earth Origin Gold Book’, and making ascension difficult..."

According to Fang Xi’s estimation, for cultivators to ascend, besides the basic requirement of perfecting internal and external cultivation, there might also be the issue of matching the nature of primordial energy.

The cultivation method he developed was indeed exquisite, but there was no corresponding existence in the Heavenly World, which made ascension difficult.

"Fortunately, it doesn’t matter, I don’t really want to ascend..."

"This life is destined to search the mundane world for many inheritances and Immortal Swords... And even if later on I want to go to the Heavenly World, then at worst, I can just revert to a previous life."

Reincarnation in this world is quite easy.

Of course, ’easy’ is only relative to the True Immortal Realm.

If there is no one to guide the way, or if virtue isn’t cultivated, then the conditions for being reborn into a family with cultivation potential are even more ordinary, and it’s very possible to even become birds, beasts, insects, and fish...

"This cultivation method follows the beginner Chapter of the ’Earth Origin Gold Book’, merging the Five Elements... Perhaps it could be named ’Combine Sands Heavenly Book’ or ’Mixed Origin Skills’? Forget it, ’Mixed Origin Skills’ sounds too unpleasant, let’s call it ’Mixed Origin Chaos Book’ instead..."

...

In the following days,

Fang Xi silently operated his Origin Soul every day, calculating the Divine Skills of the "Mixed Origin Chaos Book."

After confirming that the deductions were accurate, he then began to practice.

Every day, with the magic power of ’Earth Chakra Origin Truth’, he would draw the ten types of Yang Five Elements and Yin Five Elements primordial energy from between heaven and earth, condensing them into colorful talismans within his magic power.

With his high realm advantage, he was now almost equivalent to a brilliantly talented cultivator with the benefit of accumulated lifetimes; his cultivation progressed a thousand miles a day.

When Yan Jia came to report on affairs, he saw a golden light take off; replete with colorful, delightful brilliance, he couldn’t help but feel even more awe.

"Finally... a Sword Immortal?"

Inside the courtyard, Fang Xi slowly finished his practice, his face radiating with a divine presence and clearly showing significant progress in his cultivation.

"Although I’ve fallen into a side path, there is no other way."

"After all, the ’Earth Origin Gold Book’ is only one page. It’s impossible to continue down the path with just that; I would remain at the level of a Swordsman for a lifetime..."

"Now, having deduced the ’Mixed Origin Chaos Book’, continuing the path of cultivation, my Taoist Cultivation has made a rapid leap to the level of a Sword Immortal in a short period of time!"

"As long as I find a suitable Flying Sword, I can immediately achieve a unity of body and sword, traverse the Azure Void... and become a true Middleman among Immortals!"

With that thought, Fang Xi took out the magical instruments from his treasure pouch.

These instruments were generally mediocre in power, not as good as fighting with his magic power alone.

"However, this dagger obtained from Flower Savage Peak has a unique material, ’Millennium Black Iron’, which is perfect for refining a Flying Sword for protection... Yet, I don’t have any secret techniques for refining swords, what a worry..."

"In this world, Flying Swords seem to be quite different too, claiming to be the first among many magical treasures... To refine a true Flying Sword requires the investment of many rare materials and endless painstaking efforts and may even attract calamities because of it..."

"But a truly good Flying Sword at hand, coupled with superior sword skills, indeed holds an unpredictable might! Almost scarier than the Sword Cultivators of the True Immortal Realm!"

Fang Xi silently pondered for a moment, and seeing Yan Jia hovering outside, he sighed internally.

Within this large city of Shang Yong Mansion, the Mortal World Aura was mixed and indeed greatly impeded the cultivation of absorbing Qi.

Originally, it was bearable during his time as a Swordsman, but after becoming a Sword Immortal, the daily requirements for absorbing Qi became intense, and it became increasingly unbearable.

’No wonder cultivators mostly dwell in famous mountains and great rivers and rarely involve themselves in the mundane world... It really is not conducive to cultivation.’
