Chapter 1133: Chapter 987: The Origin (Extra Chapter for Monthly Votes)

"So... does my Abundant Karma House have to become enemies with Dugu Fang?"

Fang Xi’s expression became much more solemn.

The True Immortal Realm’s five immortals—Heaven, Earth, Man, Gods, and Ghosts, with the Celestial Immortal being first-rate, their magic power being formidable and unimaginable.

Even Yu Xiu, an Earth Immortal of many years and once the master of Abundant Karma House, with an undoubtedly immense fortune, was not their match, as evident from this alone!

If he were to become enemies with such a character, he would naturally be... "respectfully declining."

After all, his plan was just to freeload in Abundant Karma House, at most out of gratitude for the many benefits given by the other party, to ensure the inheritance of the Abundant Karma House remains unextinguished.

But, to become an enemy of a Celestial Immortal just for the sake of a mere Miss Six, that was definitely not something he was willing to do.

"The senior speaks with such humor... What virtue and ability do we possess? Dare we persist against a Celestial Immortal to death?"

Yu Xuan sighed bitterly and shook her head, "My father originally wanted to win over Dugu Fang, but who would have thought that such a person would be ungrateful to his kin and instead show his true colors with a ruthless hand... Such an unfeeling and decisive character, my Abundant Karma House dares not keep nor offend... We can only swallow this bitter pill!"

Fang Xi was taken aback, then quickly understood.

Even someone like Immortal Peng Bo, who was tough as nails, managed to live a lush life while being feared by numerous powers.

And Dugu Fang was a Celestial Immortal!

Even having the prospect of becoming a Prime Taoist Master in the future.

For Abundant Karma House to be able to laugh off a grudge was already a gain.

As for what happened to Miss Six, no one cared anymore.

’Although, this is like losing the wife and the army...’ Fang Xi thought ruefully.

Fang Xi inquired with bemusement, "What was the master’s purpose for coming here this time?"

"Just to provide a few reminders... Additionally, as the master, I hope that all the guest elders can stay at headquarters as much as possible, just in case."

Yu Xuan spoke calmly.

Fang Xi understood and glanced at Immortal Xuan Qing next to him, knowing why she had returned.

’It seems that the Abundant Karma House still harbors some fear...’ he thought.

’Even in the True Immortal Realm, it’s a law of the jungle, clearly taken advantage of, yet still worried about the other party being annoyed and seeking vengeance?’

’That truly is the helplessness and sorrow of the weak...’

At this thought, Fang Xi couldn’t help but feel a trace of pity in his heart.

Of course, he kept his exterior calm and collected, even having a drink with Yu Xuan and Immortal Xuan Qing, offering them some words of consolation.

Although Miss Six had once vied with Yu Xuan for the position of head of the house, even oppressing her harshly, it’s unlikely the two had much affection left for each other.

But as death snuffs out life like a candle, the sadness that arises is hard to ignore.

Fang Xi distinctly sensed a hint of sorrow emanating from Yu Xuan.

"Master..."

After the two had left, Fang Xian, who had been serving at their side, finally couldn’t help but speak up, "That Dugu Fang... is really too awful, right?"

"Little Immortal..."

Fang Xi, while playing with the wine pot and with a distant look in his eyes, suddenly said, "If one day, the opportunity to achieve the Dao lay before you, and the cost was giving up something, how would you choose?"

"What I seek is freedom and ease, and even the great Dao cannot make me submit," replied Fang Xian with a salute, very seriously.

"Good!"

Fang Xi nodded, "No matter when, one must never betray one’s own heart; that is the true spirit of us immortal cultivators!"

...

Earth Immortal Realm.

"Shu Mountain is focusing on seclusion, delving into Origin Magnetism magic prohibitions, and refining the Life and Death Sword..."

"In the True Immortal Realm, Dugu Fang has achieved Celestial Immortal status, killing Miss Six and fleeing away..."

Fang Xi’s true form sat cross-legged under the Monster Tree that had become a towering heavenly tree, biting into a Spirit Fruit, feeling somewhat reflective, "Troublesome times indeed..."

After satisfying his hunger, he went to a Dongfu.

His Mountain pearl incarnation, clad in an earthy yellow robe, was continuously casting various seals into an alchemy furnace.

This alchemy furnace was faintly surrounded by Immortal Qi, indicating a pivotal moment had arrived.

"Open!"

Fang Xi’s true form intervened, his Spirit Domain Power descending into the alchemy furnace.

Boom!

The alchemy furnace trembled intensely as an indescribable Taoist Charm spread out.

"It’s done."

His face lit up with joy as a green Mother Qi of All Woods turned into a cloud of celebration, capturing all the radiance emerging from the alchemy furnace.

Pellets of pitch-black pills fell from mid-air, some exploding instantaneously, while others emitted an aura of decay and decline.

Only a few, seven or eight pellets, were somewhat intact, albeit marred with pits and bearing a mysterious Taoist Charm.

"Taisui incorporated into a pill... it’s finally done."

Fang Xi pinched a pockmarked pill between his fingers, significantly different from the previous Taisui Pill, which focused on body refining and replenishing vital energy.

This one contained strands of Taoist Charm, capable of honing an Immortal’s own Dao!

It could be said that although it was somewhat inferior to the ’Taoist Cultivation Pill’ crafted by a True Immortal-level alchemist of the Abundant Karma House, it had the advantage of quantity!

"The main ingredient could be Taisui Meat, or those Demons from Great Liang... in short, anything touched by the aura of a Taoist Fruit."

"Then by using the pill method to incorporate it, crafting the Taoist Cultivation Pill to enhance cultivation..."

Fang Xi’s cultivation in the Earth Immortal Realm was just beginning and had not progressed much.

But with this pill, his progress could sky-rocket!

"More importantly, if Taisui Meat is the main ingredient, then there’s the potential for an inexhaustible supply..."

"This pill, unlike the Taisui Pill, is the key to the realm of a Taoist Master, we shall call it— ’Taoist Master Pill.’

Fang Xi looked at the unassuming ’Taoist Master Pill’ in his hand and laughed heartily.

Only then did he realize that his use of the Treasures of All Heavens to travel to the first world was no coincidence.

And the many ’Demons’ from that place had directly paved much of the road for his future cultivation.

’After all, it is the power of a Taoist Fruit... even just a whiff of the essence of the Taoist Fruit is extraordinary.’

’Even though I don’t practice the Longevity Skills and haven’t achieved symbiosis with the Monster Tree, could I have subdued something like a "Blade Demon," "Sword Demon," or "Blood Demon," and become a peerless sword cultivator, or perhaps some kind of demon overlord?’

’Forget it, forget it, being a sword cultivator or a demon overlord is too tiring...’

’I just like staying quietly in one place without moving, and then my cultivation naturally improves...’

’This is called "the good warrior boasts no outstanding achievement"!’

With the Mountain Pearl Incarnation guarding by his side, Fang Xi was not worried about any mishaps occurring.

He came to the adjacent meditation chamber, sat cross-legged, and then his Origin Soul appeared behind his head.

This Origin Soul looked like a full moon, with a mark of the Monster Tree in the middle — it was the most fundamental Origin Soul of an Earth Immortal!

The Earth Immortal Origin Soul gently stirred, and a clear radiance fell, enveloping the ’Taoist Master Pill.’

Subsequently, the Taoist Master Pill disappeared.

In the midst of the Earth Immortal Origin Soul, a trace of mysterious charm emerged, like storms and thunder lashing on the surface of the Origin Soul.

Fang Xi welcomed it with joy rather than alarm, stirring his own Immortal Qi to withstand the baptism of this Taoist charm.

His mind deep in concentration, he seemed to enter a state of Taoist enlightenment.

In this state, Fang Xi’s Origin Soul began to gradually shrink but became more solid, radiating a crystal-like glow.

Even, he felt his Immortal Qi making significant improvements...

The ’Taoist Master Pill’ was not to be swallowed but had to be enveloped by the Origin Soul to dissolve, using its Taoist charm to temper one’s own Dao and enhance magic power.

"What a fine pill!"

After a long while, Fang Xi opened his eyes and a trace of joy appeared on his face, "I must also thank the fact that I obtained that volume of scriptures from the Big Thousand World, and from the Taiyi Yin Seal within it, I gleaned comprehension, enabling me to break through several difficult barriers and successfully refine the ’Taoist Master Pill’!"

Even the True Immortal-class pill refiners of Abundant Karma House often faced the plight of limited materials and struggled to demonstrate their skills.

Although with the conditions of Mount Fengxue, there was an abundance of millennium Spirit Medicines.

But to refine the ’Taoist Cultivation Pill,’ millennium Spirit Medicines could only serve as auxiliary ingredients.

The main ingredients, even if they were of the Spirit Medicine class, were naturally grown, seedless, and difficult to replant; thus, they remained highly sought after.

’But Taisui is different, as long as there is enough food, there is an endless supply of meat...’

’It must be because it has been influenced by the essence of a Taoist Fruit.’

Excitement flickered across Fang Xi’s face, and then he continued to go into seclusion.

Time flies without regard to the years.

On this day.

Beneath the Monster Tree.

Boom!

The entire Sānjiè Mountain shook!

Fang Xi’s expression was extremely grave, the tattoo of the Ancestral Demon Tree emerged behind him, with countless roots and vines stretching out, connecting with the Monster Tree.

Via this connection of mind and spirit, his Divine Thought reached everywhere, seemingly stretching downwards like the roots of the Monster Tree...

And then, he unearthed a mysterious space.

Hum hum!

Within the space, a mass of seven-colored radiance shone like crystal, breathing and pulsating like a heart...

Deep within the crystal, a stream of primordial chaos, already semi-liquefied, could be seen.

"The origin of heaven and earth..."

Fang Xi’s entire body trembled, followed by the tremendous movement of his Earth Immortal magic power.

Whoosh whoosh!

One by one, the roots of the Monster Tree intertwined and crossed... akin to a huge net.

The origin of heaven and earth roared in fury, with unknown ripples spreading over the seven-colored crystal.

Boom!

The force of the backlash was so great that even Fang Xi trembled all over, and then a trace of joy appeared on his face, "Earth Immortal Undying!"

He formed seals with his hands, and streams of sigils continuously entered the Monster Tree behind him.

In that space of mystery, a web of vines crisscrossed; the tips of their tendrils sharp as needles, piercing into the crystal.

Boom boom boom!

In that moment, the whole Sānjiè Mountain seemed to be trembling, lamenting...

Above Sānjiè Mountain.

Endless thunderclouds emerged, rolling and entangling, with numerous bolts of lightning crashing down, all dissolved by the Void Immortal Formation Fang Xi had set up.

Suddenly!

Sānjiè Mountain violently shook, a greater fluctuation appeared.

The earth split open, innumerable cracks spreading thousands of miles, even stirring up a Void Storm that obliterated several Array Eyes!

The stability of the Void Immortal Formation was thus compromised, and streaks of Void Cracks in the air instantly vanished...

"When heaven deals a blow, stars change their courses.

"When earth deals a blow, dragons and snakes rise from the land.

"When man deals a blow, heaven and earth turn upside down."

Fang Xi snorted coldly.

Now, during the critical phase of assimilating the origin of heaven and earth, every moment holds the potential to touch upon the Heavenly Imprint of this Earth Immortal Realm.

And at this critical moment, heavenly thunder provoked the earth dragon, actually breaking his Void Immortal Formation!

"Sānjiè Mountain is the core of the Earth Immortal Realm..."

"Now the human race is at war with the alien races... I wonder how far they have gotten?"

A smile appeared at the corner of Fang Xi’s mouth.

His Origin Soul, entrusting the Void, already felt a surge of inspiration, knowing that the calamity of refining heaven and earth was approaching!

’Just wonder, who will come and deliver themselves to death?’
