Chapter 1177: Chapter 1031: Reincarnation Taoist Seed (Additional Release for Monthly Votes)

"I hail from the ranks of Zi Yin Daozi’s followers, the Revered One of the Ten Thousand Beasts!"

The Revered One of the Ten Thousand Beasts snorted coldly, "Sir, you’ve got some nerve, daring to kill someone of our Taoist child’s... Did Jun Xie of the Yinshan Assembly perish by your hand?"

"So what if he did?"

Fang Xi replied indifferently.

At that moment, a flash appeared behind his head in the void, suddenly revealing a strange little monkey.

The size of this monkey was only as large as a human head, but it was incredibly agile, and its claws were even adorned with metal hooks.

Those hooked claws seemed to be tailor-made Immortal Weapons for the monkey, small and exquisite, and upon closer inspection, the surface appeared to be etched with countless secret scripts.

Such a swift and stealthy attack could severely disadvantage even an Immortal like Yu Xiu if caught off guard!

The next moment.

Just when the hooked claw was a hair’s breadth away from Fang Xi, it became immobilized in mid-air, like an amber-encased bug.

One after another, beams of Meridian God Light appeared, in conjunction with a peculiar Flying Sword.

With just one twist, the little monkey skilled in wielding the hooked claw Immortal Weapon let out a pitiful scream, its form and spirit utterly obliterated.

— The Si Chen Sword!

"The Law of Time?"

The Revered One of the Ten Thousand Beasts’s complexion changed, his expression also showing a touch of grief.

This ’Stealing Sky Monkey’ was not easily refined by him, paired with the specially refined ’Stealing Sky Claw’ Immortal Weapon, even an Immortal at the second step of the Prime Taoist Master would suffer unexpectedly.

Yet he had not anticipated that his opponent would have progressed so far in the Law of Time.

That momentary freeze of time evoked by the Sword Light instilled a profound sense of trepidation in his heart.

"Go!"

Fang Xi incited the Sword Table, and the Si Chen Sword transformed into an onslaught of twelve beams of Sword Light, striking out with unmatched swiftness.

A blanket of Meridian God Light converged, subtly forming an Array, trapping the Revered One of the Ten Thousand Beasts within it.

Seeing this, the Revered One of the Ten Thousand Beasts roared instantly, tearing with both hands as his beast robe shredded like paper, revealing his chest and back covered in numerous ferocious beast tattoos.

The Mysterious Deer, Six-Armed White Ape, Saber-toothed Tiger, Submerged Dragon, Nine Phoenixes...

One after another, beasts as formidable as Immortals emerged, each emitting a roar.

In that moment, the countless tattooed incisions seemed to come to life, reviving each mighty beast to its peak condition before death!

The Revered One of the Ten Thousand Beasts’s Magic Power climbed rung by rung, bringing an overwhelming oppressive sensation.

Even more terrifying was the emergence of his Origin Soul behind his head, grotesque beyond comparison, seemingly bearing traits of every kind of ferocious beast.

Moreover, within the Origin Soul, the silhouette of a Void Platform emerged!

Atop the platform, a peculiar ’Taoist Species’ began to materialize!

Not merely the embryonic form of a Taoist Seed, but the Taoist Seed itself!

To reach the first step of the Prime Taoist Master and True Immortal Perfection, one’s condition was to cultivate Magic Power to the pinnacle and also condense a Taoist Seed!

And the Revered One of the Ten Thousand Beasts, at the second step of the Prime Taoist Master, had already constructed a Void Platform within his Origin Soul. The Taoist Seed floated above the jade platform, not yet fully integrated, on the verge of commencing the third step of Sit-and-Forget Cultivation.

Even so, his ferocious might was heaven-shattering!

If he were in the Beichen Immortal Domain, he could rank among the top ten among many Immortals!

"This is..."

A thought struck Fang Xi, sensing the fluctuation of the Power of Rules.

This particular Power of Rules harbored wild, bloody, murderous, and other such terrifying atmospheres, faintly conveying the roars of Ten Thousand Beasts.

"The Taoist Seed of Ten Thousand Beasts!"

The Revered One of the Ten Thousand Beasts let out an enraged roar, riding the many bestial forces equivalent to True Immortals, converging into a Battle Array.

Countless Alien beasts bellowed, strands upon strands of malevolent energy soaring into the sky, faintly coalescing into an astonishing savage beast, poised to pounce.

Fang Xi’s expression turned grave, his Sword Table shifting accordingly.

"Life and Death Sword, emerge!"

The Life and Death Flying Sword appeared, its yin and yang like Taiji, mediating between Time and Space.

The Taiyi Formless and Si Chen Swords flew together.

The Small Three Mysterious Sword Array was formed!

A dim Sword Light slashed out, colliding with the ferocious beast that lunged forward.

The wild beast suddenly became rigid in mid-air.

Then...

Its body began to crumble and dissolve inch by inch.

The falling Sword Qi caused the Revered One of the Ten Thousand Beasts’s complexion to shift, one of his tattooed incisions spectacularly disintegrating...

Clang!

A sudden ring of a sword reverberated.

The Life and Death Flying Sword chimed, and the embryonic form of the Taoist Seed of Life and Death appeared on it, turning from illusion to reality!

One sword strike to reverse life and death!

In the next moment, a look of astonished joy and horror appeared on the Revered One of the Ten Thousand Beasts’s face: "The Taoist Seed of Life and Death, you are..."

Whoosh!

The Sword Light flashed, and his Origin Soul began to dissipate.

Seeing this, Fang Xi simply reached out to stroke.

Amidst flickering Silver Light, he and the Revered One of the Ten Thousand Beasts vanished together, reappearing on a peculiar mountain peak.

Qinghe Mountain!

The Externalization of Central Shu Sword witnessed this scene and, without any hesitation, reached for the back of his head.

As if an immortal Five Elements Primordial Spirit emerged, instantly enveloping the Revered One of the Ten Thousand Beasts.

Within the Primordial Spirit, there also lay a Taoist Device ’Mirror of Illusion World’, bursting forth with brilliant light.

The Origin Soul of the Revered One of the Ten Thousand Beasts disintegrated rapidly, and fragments of memories emerged, captured in quick succession by Fang Xi’s Five Elements Primordial Spirit, swiftly being deciphered.

"The second step of the Taoist Master, an Immortal within the Jade Platform realm..."

"Have my incarnations already become powerful enough to deal with such beings when they act with all their might?" Fang Xi mused.

The two Fang Xis sat opposite each other, both smiling.

"There may still be some tracking and other measures on his person..."

"But it doesn’t matter. If Zi Yin Daozi manages to find his way to the Shushan World, what does it matter if I turn myself in?"

Fang Xi muttered softly.

In a flash of silver light, that external incarnation returned to the Secret Realm of Celestial Immortal Yuanli, ready to thoroughly clean up the loose ends and then destroy this place, leaving no trace behind.

As for the external incarnation at Qinghe Mountain, his expression shifted as he silently recalled the contents of the soul search.

"The ’Beast Bible’... The Beast Sovereign’s studies are indeed not bad, worthy of being considered a ninth-tier beast taming legacy."

He gazed at the body of the Beast Sovereign.

The path of cultivation for this Immortal was different from ordinary Immortals, involving the sacrificial refining of numerous beast souls into the body, with a focus on cultivating both the law and the physical body.

Now that he had perished, every tattoo on his body would transform into a demon, ready to rebel.

If not restrained, so many ’Extra domain Sky Demons’ would bring immense suffering to the current Shushan World.

"Mirror of Illusion World, go!"

A mirror, seemingly made of black jade, appeared in his hand—it was the ’Mirror of Illusion World’!

With a mere twist of this Taoist Device, a beam of Illusion Extinction Light enveloped the Beast Sovereign.

Under the light of the mirror, the body of this Immortal faded into nothingness in an instant.

One by one, tattoos emerged from nothing, turning into small fierce beasts that plunged into the mirror’s surface, like pebbles thrown into a lake, ultimately disappearing without a trace...

’After all, the Mirror of Illusion World is a Taoist Device. Dealing with an Immortal, especially a deceased one, is of course remarkably simple...’

With a thought, Fang Xi directed his Divine Consciousness into the Mirror of Illusion World and saw that ’Immortal Lord’s Space’.

In the world corresponding to the Immortal Lord’s Space, the heavens and earth seemed to sense something, and odd creatures began to emerge.

These were the essence souls of exotic beasts that the Beast Sovereign had amassed over countless years, which now formed the foundation of this small world.

This action directly caused many fierce beasts, comparable to True Immortals of Origin Soul, to emerge in this small world, even faintly gathering some of the Monster Clan’s fortune...

In the world within the mirror.

"Howl!"

A silver-furred Monster Wolf, several meters long, suddenly howled at the moon for some unknown reason.

Almost simultaneously, countless birds and beasts, and even wild alien species, all had their aura dramatically increase...

"Ah... why are these creatures so fearsome?"

"Weren’t humans said to be the pinnacle of creation during the ancient times... that ten years of cultivation for humans would surpass demonkind’s hundred or thousand years?"

One of the reincarnated beings, witnessing this scene, despaired.

Roar! Growl!

With a ferocious, eight-headed creature spewing venom, the magic radiance of the reincarnated beings was extinguished as easily as matches in a storm, corroded into pus...

This Immortal task turned out to be a complete failure!

And when the reincarnation task ended, Fang Xi turned over the Mirror of Illusion World, and the world was refined anew by Earth-Fire Wind-Water.

One essence soul after another, encompassing various cultivators and exotic beasts, each entered into reincarnation, waiting for the next task to begin.

"Reincarnation..." Fang Xi withdrew his gaze and murmured.

The next moment, strange fluctuations of Rules started to tremble around him.

The Rule of Reincarnation descended, and a disk, half dark and half light, emerged, slowly spinning.

Eventually, it kept collapsing inward, turning into a nascent Taoist Species.

"The nascent form of the Reincarnation Taoist Seed... it’s finally formed."

A trace of joy appeared on Fang Xi’s face upon seeing this.

"The Rule of Reincarnation, barely revealed even in the True Immortal Realm; I wonder what power it will hold when I Combine Taoist with it?"

"Now that the nascent form of the Reincarnation Taoist Seed has been formed, I only need to refine it further with the ’Taoist Master Pill’... it’s only natural for a Taoist Species to solidify from the void."

"My task in this realm is already halfway done; what remains is merely the collection of Flying Swords at leisure, even to aid in comprehending the transformation laws of Gold Immortal Primordial Spirit..."

With a single step, he moved, and his figure flickered through the Void, arriving within a new world.

Mei Mountain University.

In the depths of a secret chamber.

A coffin suddenly opened, and a bandaged, blood-seeping hand clawed its way out!

"Heh heh... I’ve finally done it..."

"Corpse Solving Skills!"

Qi Mingchan’s voice rang out.

But compared to before, it was hoarse and coarse... as if his throat was damaged.

As the foremost among the thirty-six orthodox laws, the Corpse Solution Immortal’s method was extremely potent, yet the cultivation was extremely difficult.

It required ’converting death into life’!

This Qi Mingchan, a seed of the Path, daringly attempted to complete the method with only some scraps of Mortal Skills and other gains from tasks in the Immortal Lord’s Space and boldly began ’Tai Yin Refinement’!

Most crucially, he actually succeeded!

"Indeed... without madness, there can be no genius!"

"Only by becoming a Corpse Solution Immortal can I hope to succeed in the tasks of Immortal Lord’s Space... to kill that damn Ling Chan Tongzi!"

Qi Mingchan whispered to himself.

...

Fang Xi stood at the entrance of Mei Mountain University, withdrawing his gaze and looking towards an ordinary-looking student: "Did you mess up on the National College Entrance Examination?"

"Yeah... but with my scores, I couldn’t have gotten into Mei Mountain University anyway."

The student gave a wry smile, showing his sincerity.

"Even if you can’t get into Mei Mountain University, you can still practice Tao..."

Fang Xi’s smile was enigmatic as he said, "I have a technique called ’Mortal Skills,’ would you care to learn?"
