Stealthily cultivating in the chaotic world of demons and martial artists
Chapter 1137 - 991 Earth Immortal

Chapter 1137: Chapter 991 Earth Immortal

"Is this the... cosmic origin?" Fang Xi waved his hand, looking thoughtfully at the colorful orb of light in his palm.

The Earth Immortal Undying Skills were not only a secret technique of immortality but also had the effect of promoting the cultivation of Earth Immortals!

And it all depended on this cosmic origin!

The cosmic origin gave birth to all things!

In other words, such an origin could become any spirit medicine that enhanced magic power for immortals!

Even better than Immortal Pills!

Even without specifically extracting it, Fang Xi could feel that, through the Monster Tree, strands of colorful light were being pulled from the cosmos, constantly improving his own celestial power every moment!

This was truly astonishing!

"With the refinement of the Taoist Master Pill and now the boost from the cosmic origin to my celestial power..."

"My cultivation speed will shock all immortals!"

Although the ’Taoist Master Pill’ also had the effect of increasing magic power, its main purpose was to temper the laws with the Dao!

Just like when Fang Xi ascended to become an Earth Immortal, his Origin Soul merged with the Ancestral Demon Tree, absorbing the power of the Taoist Fruit, tremendously advancing his Law of Life and Death to the embryonic form of a Life and Death Taoist Seed!

Taisui also carried the power of the Taoist Fruit, refining his flesh and blood essence into pills which might enable his laws to advance by leaps and bounds!

Coupled with the fullness of Earth Immortal celestial power...

That would mean becoming a Prime Taoist Master!

"To Combine Taoist as a Prime Taoist Master primarily involves cultivating Earth Immortal magic power to perfection, then choosing the appropriate Taoist Species..."

"Theoretically speaking, as long as I cultivate magic power to the peak and solidify the Life and Death Taoist Seed from intangible to tangible, I can ’Combine Taoist’ and become a Prime Taoist Master!"

Although in reality it would definitely not be so simple, breaking through each major realm in Mortal Skills is incredibly hard.

The higher the realm, the more so it is!

The step from the pinnacle of Earth Immortal to achieving Prime Taoist Master is sure to be ten or a hundred times harder than a Mahayana Monk’s breakthrough to immortality!

"But at least... by then, I could also be considered a ’Quasi-Taoist Monarch’, right?"

"Hmm, the likelihood of an Earth Immortal breaking through to Prime Taoist Master is higher than a Human Immortal but still falls short of a Celestial Immortal..."

"To truly become a ’Quasi-Taoist Monarch’, I still need to elevate my Origin Soul..."

Fang Xi casually tossed the cosmic origin in his hand.

In the void, the externalization of Central Shu Sword appeared and received this thread of cosmic origin.

Then, it looked at the forehead of its main body.

"The creation of life by a Celestial Immortal’s breath, both form and spirit are marvelous... It indeed has some connection with the ’Heart of Heaven Imprint’."

"By comprehending the ’Heart of Heaven Imprint’, I should be able to grasp some secrets of ’The Book of Purple Mansion’."

"By that time, my foundation of the Origin Soul might even surpass that of Dugu Fang... It will surely be of great help in breaking through the bottleneck of the Prime Taoist Master."

...

Qinghe Mountain.

A flash of silver light.

Fang Xi’s figure floated into view.

As soon as he appeared, he sensed something amiss around him.

The winds between heaven and earth surged, as though having a yearning.

"Behave, I’ll feed you in a few years."

He smiled slightly, a seven-colored orb emerging in his hand with clouds and stars rising within, wrapped in a layer of silver light.

This part of the world could no longer sense the force of the origin and calmed down.

"Indeed... there’s no need to search for any hidden virtue methods."

"Just using the power of the ’Treasures of All Heavens’ to isolate the cosmic origin... Then feed it at a critical moment..."

Fang Xi sneered.

He didn’t need to use his Origin Soul to deduce that the Shu Mountain Sect would definitely not let him go.

This virtue bomb plan was just a precaution for self-preservation.

Compared to the many old demons of the Demon Path who held the beings of heaven and earth hostage and turned tens of thousands of miles into dead land at a whim.

Such a virtue bomb was green, natural, and free from pollution, and would absolutely not affect outsiders!

"You forced this upon yourselves..."

"I once wanted to be a good person, but the Sky Demon Slayer Sword was too tempting..."

Fang Xi sighed to himself.

That martial world’s right path heroic youth was moving further and further away.

But in reality, the true hot-blooded youths mostly died, and those who survived were the old hands of the martial world, well aware of the principles of preserving oneself.

This was also an unavoidable matter.

...

After his reflections, he arrived at a certain location in Qinghe Mountain.

In the sword pool, a black and white Tai Chi diagram emerged.

The Yin Yang Dual Fish chased each other in a spinning motion, but at the center was a floating sword.

This was the ’Yin and Yang Sword Pool’ he had forged specifically for the sacrificial refining of the ’Life and Death Fetus’.

Each cycle of Yin and Yang represented a sword forging.

At this moment, this Life and Death Sword had somewhat taken shape, but it still required a lot more work to be fully achieved.

Fang Xi calculated with his fingers and laughed:

"In eighteen years’ time, I will face a Deadly Tribulation, which will be the opportunity for this sword to be perfected!"

How could the Life and Death Sword, without undergoing a cycle of reincarnation, be worthy of being called supreme?

He sat cross-legged next to the sword pool.

The main body’s refining of the Heart of Heaven Imprint was also a tremendous opportunity for him.

Now, he sat down cross-legged, quietly entering seclusion.

Time passed by without him knowing how long it had been.

In the void, it seemed as though the sound of chimes and Yuxin (jade chimes) rang out, turning into celestial music.

Skyflowers cascaded, and golden lotuses surged from the ground!

Qingfeng and Mingyue saw this phenomenon and thought that their master had transcended to immortality.

"A mere external demon, you also want to create chaos for me?"

Fang Xi merely let out a cold laugh, executing a magic spell with a twist of his hand.

In an instant, the blossoming skyflowers rotted, emitting a stench of decay.

The golden lotuses turned a shade of black, and every petal bore a ferocious face.

"The cultivators in this realm truly have a hard time... Every time their power greatly advances, they face numerous calamities."

"I am currently within the Six Yao Yin Water Array, the heavenly secrets are difficult to divine, and since I can’t live or die, and human tribulations fail to take effect, has it directly changed to a demon calamity?"

He had recently had an epiphany from observing his original self refining the Heart of Heaven Imprint.

In this world, a Celestial Immortal was nothing more than combining one’s own cultivation with a certain immortal talisman, achieving the status of a Celestial Immortal.

And that kind of immortal talisman was undoubtedly an outward manifestation of the world’s origins.

With this insight, Fang Xi now had a foundation for the Celestial Immortal in the "Mixed Origin Chaos Book" and was ready to deduce a "Mixed Origin Immortal Talisman" from nothing to serve as the Celestial Immortal fruition of the "Mixed Origin Chaos Book".

As for an Earth Immortal?

With the "Earth Origin Gold Book" and the "Guanghan Heaven Book" as references, and a clear understanding of the path of a Celestial Immortal through the Mixed Origin Immortal Talisman, Fang Xi had actually finished deducing the Earth Immortal Chapter of the "Mixed Origin Chaos Book".

And at this moment, his Origin Soul was about to shake off a layer of tribulation and directly enter the realm of Earth Immortal.

This resonance of qi immediately drew calamity!

His eyes observed his nose, his nose observed his heart, his five hearts (senses) faced heaven, and his thoughts guarded the spirit platform.

In the profound depths of the spirit platform, he suddenly heard a strange laugh—it was a wisp of invisible and intangible divine thought from an Extra domain Sky Demon!

This was the Heart Demon Tribulation, which cultivators of this world feared immensely!

If one’s mind and spirit were not guarded, and the heart demon stole their foundation, not only would they have no hope of becoming an immortal in this life, but it would also affect their next life.

Hee hee!

Ha ha!

Fang Xi sensed a Demon Shadow materializing within his spirit platform, seeking to provoke his seven emotions and six desires and thereby steal his innate Five Elements Magical Power. He couldn’t help but laugh:

"Interesting... Truly interesting!"

"So-called heart demons are not self-generated by the cultivator but come from the outside world?"

In the True Immortal Realm, heart demons arise from within the cultivator’s heart, hence they are extremely difficult to resolve.

But he hadn’t expected that in this world, the heart demons came from the outside!

The difference between this internal and external source was enormous.

"How bold of you, allowing me to invade your spirit platform so directly?"

That Demon Shadow morphed incessantly, emitting a voice that was neither male nor female: "Your foundation of true qi is as aspiring as that of a Celestial Immortal... After I steal your fruition, I could advance further, and as long as I steal the foundations of many cultivators over generations, the one who will eventually become the supreme Sky Demon King must be me—Bo Xunmo..."

This name of the Extra domain Sky Demon seemed to be a powerful curse.

If it fell into the hands of a Demon Path cultivator, they could resonate with Sky Demons, and even restrain or curse others...

"The reason I let you invade so deeply is that I have a profound intention."

Within the spirit platform, Fang Xi looked up slightly to see a phantom of the Bronze Mirror emerging.

A surging silver light fell.

Before "Bo Xunmo" could even scream, it was annihilated into a wisp of black smoke!

"If it were a heart demon born from myself, even the Treasures of All Heavens would have no solution..."

"But for an external demon like you to dare invade my spirit platform and Sea of Consciousness, are you courting death?"

Fang Xi mocked, opening his eyes.

At that moment, he had overcome the calamity of the external demon’s invasion, and his Five Elements Primordial Spirit had advanced further, obtaining the fruition of an Earth Immortal!

"Hmm?"

Fang Xi was silently running his Origin Soul, experiencing the various changes of Earth Immortal and suddenly captured an important heavenly secret.

"Five hundred years later, the Heavenly Bureau loses transmission, a great calamity for the group of immortals?"

"Is this suggesting the advent of the End of Dharma Era? No wonder the Shu Mountain Sect is preparing to ascend en masse..."

"So this upcoming Righteous and Demon calamity is not the end, but just the beginning?"

"Hmm? Why did I suddenly gain an intuitive understanding and divine this critical intelligence?"

"Perhaps it’s because I let this world peep at the essence of the origin, which granted such good fortune?"

He thought of many things in an instant, then sighed, "Five hundred years, for an Individual Immortal, isn’t too long... It’s actually quite interesting."

"In the End of Dharma Era, I wonder what the Gold Immortals of the Upper Realm and those above them are plotting?"

Having ascended to Earth Immortal, Fang Xi was absolutely a major power in this world.

He even had the qualification to make moves on this great chessboard of heaven and earth.

But at this moment, he felt extremely uninterested.

External practices, scheming, merit, tribulation governance... Could any of it compare to advancing one’s own cultivation?

He had come to this world mainly to collect the flying swords.

Now that he had gathered the swords for the Small Three Mysterious Sword Array, only the Life and Death Sword was still in the process of refining.

For the Big Five Elements Sword Array, he had assembled the earth-, wood-, and fire-element swords... Obtaining the water sword and golden sword was simpler; the golden sword was within easy reach, and while the water sword was a bit more troublesome, if he exchanged Immortal Weapons and Immortal Pills for it, Abundant Karma House had some leads.

It could be said that the "Eight Gates Sword Array" was within reach!

As for the inheritance of Celestial Immortal and Gold Immortal, he possessed the "Guanghan Heaven Book" and had experienced the mysteries of worldly origins and the Heart of Heaven Imprint.

He was precisely on the verge of piercing through this layer of mist.

Once he refined the "Mixed Origin Immortal Talisman" and achieved the power of a Celestial Immortal, plotting for those Celestial Immortal inheritances would become much easier.

At that time, gathering the many secret transmissions of the Heavenly Bureau, he would be able to glimpse the Great Taoist of Gold Immortal!

’Moreover... Eighteen years from now, someone will deliver themselves to my doorstep!’

’Indeed... As long as I survive, everything will be provided!’

Fang Xi computed with a flick of his fingers, and a trace of a smile appeared on his face.
