Chapter 1198: Chapter 1052: Reincarnation of All Heavens

Earth Immortal Realm.

Beneath the Monster Tree.

Fang Xi caressed the ’Mirror of Illusion World’ in his hand, in which, incredibly, floated strands of True Spirits.

These True Spirits were particularly distinctive, some even carrying a hint of the undying nature of gold.

"Shu Mountain Old Ancestor, just enough to round up the number with those Shu Mountain disciples..."

He chuckled, then remembered the Taoist Master of Reincarnation’s final intervention, his expression becoming solemn, "The power of the Tao, truly terrifying..."

Even in the final moment, relying on the power of ’Treasures of All Heavens’ to block it, he managed to escape unscathed, but that Externalization perished.

The might of a Taoist Master was naturally incomparable to ordinary Prime Taoist Masters.

Had it not been for the ’Treasures of All Heavens’, it would indeed have been difficult to escape unharmed.

"However, the Incarnate Annihilation is also a blessing! Just right to rely on ’Treasures of All Heavens’ to cycle through the Big Thousand Worlds, aiding me in comprehending The Great Path of All Heavens Reincarnation..."

Fang Xi murmured to himself.

His affairs at Shu Mountain were already settled, even managing to trap all the Immortals of that world in the end.

After his provocation, the Reincarnation Rule would likely undergo terrifying changes, probably making it extremely difficult for Immortals to reincarnate in the future.

Thinking of this, Fang Xi couldn’t help but look at a half-black half-white stone beside him.

"Fragments of the Reincarnation Disk... Converged from pure Law."

"Placed in the True Immortal Realm, could it be considered an upper-tier Innate Treasure?"

"It’s only because I am Lord Reincarnation and took advantage of the ’Treasures of All Heavens’ by surprise, that I managed to obtain such a piece. Once those Taoist Masters and Taoist Masters from Shu Mountain become vigilant, it would be extremely difficult..."

In fact, no Immortal had anticipated that Fang Xi, as Lord Reincarnation, would actively sabotage the cycle of Reincarnation, and that’s why he executed a ruthless move.

And Fang Xi was also clear that before the Taoist Master, it was better not to go near Shu Mountain again.

Otherwise, the consequences would be dire!

There might even be a possibility that the entire world would collaborate with many Taoist Masters and Taoist Masters... laying a trap for the ’Treasures of All Heavens’!

"Fortunately, even a Taoist Master cannot apprehend me across countless Big Thousand Worlds... but a Taoist Fruit might."

"The Taoist Fruit, ineffable, unheard of, indescribable... an existence that defies logic."

"Ordinary Taoist Masters might directly burst the Lesser and Medium Thousand Worlds, but the Taoist Fruit would not..."

"Thus, if the Taoist Fruit takes action against me, it is still possible for it to directly descend to the Earth Immortal Realm."

Fang Xi took a deep breath.

Now, the most important thing was to enhance his own strength.

He picked up the fragment of the Reincarnation Disk, feeling an especially strong affinity with his own Taoist Species.

"This object... should be usable for sword refinement!"

"Refining a Reincarnation Flying Sword, integrating it into the Eight Gates Sword Array, transforming the Eight Gates into the Nine Palaces!"

"The number nine, the extreme of numbers, signifies infinity..."

"With the Nine Palaces forming the sword array, it should genuinely be able to carry ’One Sword Creates the Universe,’ making the ’Sword Creates Heaven and Earth Array’ truly take shape."

Previously, when Fang Xi deployed the ’Sword Creates Heaven and Earth Array,’ its full potential had not yet been unleashed.

The first reason was that his comprehension of various Laws was not yet profound, certainly less so compared to the Thousand Swords Old Man.

The second was that his own strength was insufficient, barely deploying it with an Externalization.

The third was the lack of a Flying Sword that embodied Reincarnation; evoking Reincarnation through the Law of Life and Death ultimately missed the mark by a little.

Now, Fang Xi thought of a way to remedy this.

"A Big Thousand World is sufficient to carry everything... Thus, my prior accumulation of Array Taoist theories, including the summit of ’Nine Curves Yellow River Three Flowers Immortal Array,’ can all be integrated..."

With this thought, he gently opened his hand.

A Reincarnation black hole emerged—outside Shu Mountain, the Reincarnation Law manifested as a Reincarnation Disk, but in the True Immortal Realm and its subordinate worlds, it was a black hole.

Inside the black hole, infinite Reincarnation Law swirled, swallowing that piece of the Reincarnation Disk fragment.

Then, it began to reshape and twist it with the force of the Law... directly transforming it into the form of a Flying Sword.

A Prime Taoist Master refining treasures no longer clung to any particular methods or Prohibitions, only imbuing the essence of the Tao.

If one were to spend an unknown amount of time and effort, it would be possible to forge a ’Taoist Device,’ a Taoist Master’s treasure-laden artifact!

For instance, the current Fang Xi, if willing, could spend a great deal of time and effort imprinting the Reincarnation Taoist Seed into this Reincarnation Flying Sword’s embryo, turning it into a ’Taoist Device’ Flying Sword.

In terms of value, far surpassing that of the Mirror of Illusion World.

Although, he certainly would not pursue such a costly and minor endeavor.

At this moment, Fang Xi’s Divine Consciousness was centered and unified, his Divine Thought intimately merging with ’Treasures of All Heavens,’ and he saw the countless Big Thousand Worlds.

"The path of the Taoist Master lies therein."

His eyes gleamed slightly.

’The Great Path of All Heavens Reincarnation,’ a profound Tao where the True Spirit is undying, allowing one to willingly be reborn in any Big Thousand World.

Initially with his current realm of Law, he would hardly reach it.

But with ’Treasures of All Heavens,’ accomplishing this was effortless.

In the future, he could, conversely, comprehend Reincarnation of All Heavens, which brought many benefits.

It was the path Fang Xi deduced would lead to achieving the status of a Taoist Master the quickest!

"Go!"

He sighed lightly, and under the effect of the Earth Immortal Undying Skills and the One Becomes Three Clears Secret Technique, that wisp of the Illusionary True Spirit destroyed in the Shu Mountain world resurfaced.

This time, the wisp of True Spirit carried no ounce of power, enfolded by the silver radiance of the Treasures of All Heavens, and then disappeared without a trace...

...

The night was deep.

All was silent.

At a Chaotic Burial Mound.

Above the withered vines and old trees, an owl with emerald eyes gazed at the few dim ghost fires on the graves.

Rustle!

Suddenly, a palm emerged from the ground, flipping over the old straw mat that covered it.

Flap!

Even the owl got a fright, beating its wings and flying away.

A figure sat up, seemingly still suffering from a splitting headache, "I... Am I dead? No... I’m alive again?"

"Or should I say... it was a feigned death?"

"Unexpectedly, during this Reincarnation of All Heavens, I actually endured the confusion within the womb until the previous near-death experience finally awakened my True Spirit..."

Fang Xi murmured, looking at the mud on his body with a wry smile.

If not for being thrown carelessly into the Chaotic Burial Mound instead of being buried in a heavy coffin dug three feet into the ground, he, the Prime Taoist, would have been embarrassed to die alive from suffocation!

He pressed his forehead, still feeling a bit of a headache.

In his memory, it was last cold and silent... as if his body was bound by thousands of snakes, ultimately suffocating...

"Mmm... so I drowned, damn it, no, I feigned drowning and then was buried... Now that the True Spirit has revived, I am alive again."

Fang Xi recalled for a moment, and a layer of memory surfaced.

This body was also called Fang Xi, the foolish son of a landlord’s family, who from childhood disliked reading and martial arts, preferring instead to indulge in strange and bizarre happenings.

Initially, life was carefree, but after his parents passed away, the family fortune dwindled day by day.

"Heh... I even suspect that the final death by drowning was arranged by those relatives or servants in the family..."

Fang Xi sneered, "But let’s not settle the score with them for now. In the future, they must be repaid!"

He looked around somewhat blankly, only to see the many desolate graves and solitary tombs, many of which were even uncovered, revealing the chilling white bones inside – probably the work of grave robbers or wild dogs.

In any case, those buried in this Chaotic Burial Mound were not from rich families, and some didn’t even have a known origin; wrapped in a straw mat and hastily buried was the end of their story...

If it had been a few days later, even if Fang Xi’s True Spirit had awakened, he would probably have had to become a Ghost Cultivator.

He climbed out of the pit, shaking off the dirt and rubble on his body, then sat cross-legged, palms facing upwards towards the sky, and began to attempt Qi Refining.

Regardless of the world, it was always right to first master power.

Fang Xi breathed steadily, sensing his own body, couldn’t help feeling somewhat relieved, "The foundation of this body is not bad... Huh?"

Suddenly, his eyes widened, "There’s no spiritual energy!"

Immortal Cultivators, from the lowest Qi Refining Stage, cultivate ’spiritual energy’; without spiritual energy, how were they to begin and ascend step by step?

Not to mention, Fang Xi’s Externalization was specifically transferred without a trace of power in order to comprehend The Great Path of All Heavens Reincarnation.

’I, a majestic Incarnation of the Prime Taoist, am trapped in a mortal body with no release?’

Fang Xi snorted with a hint of helplessness.

Although the Three Thousand Tao lead to the same destination, this world could also comprehend the Five Elements and even the Void, Time, Reincarnation, and many other Laws.

But the power of the Law in the True Immortal Realm – at least Mahayana Cultivators were required to contemplate and command it!

Now, Fang Xi, not to mention a Mahayana practitioner, was not even a Qi Refining Cultivator.

And there were subtle differences in the Law’s power between the two Big Thousand Worlds.

If he rashly invoked them, it would be like a child wielding a large hammer – in the end, he would only hurt himself.

His mind sank into contemplation, and soon he thought of a not-really-a-method method.

’Although I currently cannot manipulate the Law, once I have sufficient strength, I will be able to... after all, the composition of worlds, if not by the Five Elements of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, then by the Four Symbols of Earth-Fire Wind-Water... Lower Cultivators may struggle to adapt to many Big Thousand Worlds, but for Immortals, Prime Taoists, and Taoist Masters, they can easily adapt, and the Taoist Fruit is not about adapting to the world, but making the world adapt to the Taoist Fruit!’

’In short, it is to first use the extraordinary systems of this world to practice to a certain height, so that my foundation in the Law can be manifested continuously...’

’Does this world have a path to transcendence?’

Fang Xi thought carefully and then confirmed – indeed there was!

After all, this body had previously been fond of collecting rumors of the strange and bizarre, managing to obtain some ghostly and ghastly items.

Among them, there were no lack of crooked secrets and books mixed with lies.

But this time, as he recalled silently, he identified several based on his own insights and vision that should contain some real substance.

After all, everything else can be faked, but the special charm on the true classics cannot be counterfeited.

To Fang Xi, capable of comprehending the Law, it was as conspicuous as a firefly in the dark night.

"The ’Strange-telling Book’ states: in the south, there was a scholar who, being poor, took a fox as a wife. He ate pine nuts by day and used moon bait by night, and in thirty years, became an Immortal..."

"The ’Desolate West Record’ says: in the deep mountains and great marshes, dragons and snakes are born naturally. Man is the most intelligent of all creatures and can become immortal by the path of ingesting them..."

"The ’Garden Spectrum’ records: there was a Cultivator in the Yin Mountains who took three drops of cow’s tear, mixed it with willow leaves and cinnabar... making a secret medicine that, once ingested, could open the heavenly eye to discern Yin-Yang, communicate with ghosts and gods... and in the end, worship the gods to attain the Tao!"

"Worship gods? Worship gods!"
