Chapter 423: Chapter 421 Heavenly Phenomenon (Congratulations to King Ji Ji and League Master!)_1

After returning to his old nest.

Fang Xi immediately held a grand feast for three months, indulging in pleasure and thoroughly relaxing.

During this time, he also spread the news of the impending arrival of the Monster World, so that his subordinates could mentally prepare themselves.

Although the Cultivation World of the Three Kingdoms showed no signs of Void Sign, even a random beast tide crossing the border from Yuan Country and merging with the original tide from the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range would be enough to cause considerable trouble.

Once the dust of his travels had settled, Fang Xi chose to enter closed-door cultivation again.

Evergreen Hall.

Inside the Cultivation Room.

Fang Xi sat cross-legged when suddenly his body stiffened.

Two beams of light, one blue and one black, flickered, like yin and yang in Tai Chi.

Two Nascent Souls emerged.

The Heterodox Nascent Soul wore Demon Armor and held the "Blood Converting Demonic Sabre," clearly having replenished the Primordial Energy depleted during its Nascent Soul tribulation, and with one offensive and one defensive magical treasures from the Demon Path, its strength had greatly increased!

After all, it was a Nascent Soul of the Demon Path, so the Star Array was only a temporary solution.

Recently, after Fang Xi’s main Nascent Soul had congealed, he repossessed the Star Array and handed over the two Demon Path spiritual treasures to the Heterodox Nascent Soul.

His main Nascent Soul was slightly larger and more robust than the Heterodox one, and it now laughed merrily, embracing an Ancient Bronze Mirror, with the Star Array underfoot, and the "Life-Death Seal" and "Spirit Bird Fan," two spiritual treasures, circling on either side, clearly having completely refined the Spirit Bird Fan.

On his way back, aside from pondering over Arrays, Fang Xi let his Nascent Soul sacrificially refine the captured spiritual treasures.

The Heterodox Nascent Soul first refined the black armor left by the Demon Lord Qi Sha and the Demon Saber of Old Chi Laoguai.

The main Nascent Soul also sacrificed the "Spirit Bird Fan" for a while; it was not entirely satisfactory but still usable.

Anyway, he didn’t plan on nurturing these spiritual treasures but intended to use them until they were spent!

"In fact, although the stronger the spiritual nature of a spiritual treasure, the greater its power... too strong a spiritual nature isn’t easy to handle!"

The two great Nascent Souls stared at a palace in front of them that looked like an intricate model, each emitting a wisp of Infant Fire and beginning the sacrificial refinement.

This "Blood Kill Hall" could be said to be the strongest spiritual treasure Fang Xi had captured.

Unfortunately, its internal spirit was too strong, and it had been difficult to refine along the way.

But now, Fang Xi was determined to let his two great Nascent Souls consecutively use Infant Fire to sacrificially refine it persistently; if the Blood Kill Hall still didn’t submit, he would simply discard it!

Although this treasure was exceedingly fast in flight, and carried a touch of Void Attribute, seemingly even more powerful than the "Star Array."

But if it continued to resist and not be used by Fang Xi, it would still be trash!

One year later...

Inside the quiet chamber.

A Spirit Eye Flower and several top-grade Spirit Stones kept flickering.

A blue and black Nascent Soul clad in Demon Armor continued to emit wisps of Infant Fire, refining a blood-colored palace in front of it.

The "Blood Kill Hall" initially radiated bright spiritual light and emitted treasure glow, resisting the refinement of the Infant Fire.

But by now, it clearly showed signs of weakening.

The drawback of a spiritual treasure not being able to exert its full power without its master injecting Magic Power became evident at this moment.

The Heterodox Nascent Soul continued the sacrificial refinement for several more hours before leisurely returning into Fang Xi’s dantian to sit and recover its Primordial Energy.

Then the main Nascent Soul appeared in a flash, taking over from the Heterodox, continuing to emit streamers of blue Infant Fire, maintaining the refinement process.

With this alternation, aside from feeling somewhat fatigued, Fang Xi hardly lost any Primordial Energy.

And the "Blood Kill Hall" clearly couldn’t hold on any longer.

Even the long exposure to the Infant Fire significantly damaged its spirit’s nature and the grade of the spiritual treasure, almost demoting it.

If other Nascent Soul old monsters saw this scene, they would be heartbroken beyond measure.

After all, the spiritual nature of a spiritual treasure is the hardest to enhance, like the "Blood Kill Hall," which was painstakingly refined by generations of Nascent Soul old demons.

It was almost ready to "communicate with spirit and transform its shape."

But in the hands of Fang Xi, it was considered overly intelligent, prompting him to consider burning it dumb...

For him, it was enough that a spiritual treasure was obedient. If its spirit still held animosity towards him as a weapon, he would rather discard it.

Time passed without measure.

The Blood Kill Hall thundered, its enveloping blood light completely disintegrating.

Seeing this, Fang Xi’s Nascent Soul chuckled and rubbed its hands together.

A thick beam of blue light flickered, rapidly infusing into the Blood Kill Hall.

This time, unlike before, the Blood Kill Hall didn’t resist coldly but allowed his Magic Power to penetrate its deepest prohibitions, and left a deep imprint on its spirit!

"Wouldn’t it have been fine to submit like this earlier?"

"Why resist until now?"

As the Nascent Soul returned to its place, Fang Xi opened his eyes and beckoned.

The ’Blood Kill Hall’ flew into the palm of his hand, after which the information from within the spiritual treasures emerged through the spirit.

"This hall is not only a treasure for speedy escape and defense but also a supreme treasure for trapping foes, carrying Void Divine Power, capable of sealing the instantaneous movement of Nascent Souls!"

"Truly a good treasure."

He smiled slightly, flew out of the Cultivation Room, and arrived above Jade Island.

Then, accompanied by a thought, ’Blood Kill Hall’ instantly expanded immensely, transforming into a vast palace complex covering several acres.

Outside the palace walls were layers of blood clouds that made the hall seem shrouded in mystery.

"It’s a pity... it just has too much Evil Qi. If it were encompassed by multicolored clouds, it could be renamed the Heavenly Palace."

Fang Xi, with his hands clasped behind his back, walked into Blood Kill Hall, his mind stirred.

Whoosh!

The expansive Blood Kill Hall immediately turned into a streak of blood light and vanished without trace.

"This speed... it’s even faster than many Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivators."

"As for defense... even if surrounded by several Transformed Great Demons, one could remain unscathed for a short while..."

"Regarding the ability to enforce Void Sealing, it’s slightly inferior to the Prohibition Space Talisman deployed by ’Starry Sky Chessboard’, but it already surpasses a ’Starry Sky Chessboard’ not equipped with the ’Prohibition Space Talisman’..."

After a series of trials, Fang Xi played with the ’Blood Kill Hall’ in his hand, his face full of satisfaction: "Truly a fine Spirit Treasure... Moreover, with its multifunctionality, it could simply serve as the Supreme Treasure of a Nascent Soul Sect."

...

Even though assimilating the ’Blood Kill Hall’ did not deplete his Primordial Energy, Fang Xi still felt somewhat weary.

He immediately summoned Zhong Hongyu and asked her to arrange for fine wine, beauties... to watch dances and listen to music as a means of relaxation and entertainment.

One month later, Fang Xi relentlessly proceeded to the Refining Chamber, took out the jade slip for the sacrificial refining of the ’Divine Infant Sword,’ and began to thoroughly comprehend it.

With the Monster Clan’s descent into the realm drawing near, Fang Xi could not afford to care for much else. As soon as he returned, he neglected repairing and studying the teleportation array and focused on refining Spirit Treasures to enhance his strength.

And as he knew, even the most remote corners of the three kingdoms’ Cultivation World were abuzz with rumors of the ’Monster Clan invasion’; prices for all kinds of potions, magical artifacts, talismans... anything that could immediately bolster combat power, skyrocketed, while other goods plummeted in value.

It was the same for Fang Xi.

Even if he repaired the ancient teleportation array, it would hardly enhance his combat strength.

It was better to master the ’Blood Kill Hall’ first, then proceed to refine the ’Divine Infant Sword’.

In doing so, even when facing a fourth-tier, mid-grade Monster cultivator, he dared to fight.

Half a month later.

Fang Xi set down the jade slip: "With my talent in Talisman forging, to forge a sword embryo from scratch will likely require hundreds of years of research to close the gap... and that’s assuming Nacent Soul level Talisman forging skills."

"Luckily, the sword embryo has already been forged, and I have a Nascent Soul."

"I just need the final ’Blood Sacrifice Sharpening’ step... which doesn’t require any Talisman forging skill, but rather relates to the Array."

Fang Xi touched his Storage Ring, and jade boxes filled with materials flew out, scattering throughout the Refining Chamber.

Some were broadly purchased from Yuan Country and the Quicksand Region; some were cunningly plundered from the Blood Sect and Green Leaf Commerce Association; and some were contributions from the Storage Bags of various Nascent Soul cultivators...

By pooling them together, he had enough for the construction of the Array designed in the books.

"I hope this sword truly possesses the might described..."

Fang Xi sighed and started silently forging Array instruments and setting up the Array...

...

"Sir Zhong..."

In the Void Hall.

Both Taishu Hong and Zhang Zhusheng, two Jia Dans, were present, looking up at Zhong Hongyu at the head with hopeful eyes: "When will the leader of the alliance leave his seclusion? The commotion caused by the Monster Clan invasion is tumultuous, and we are at a loss for what to do..."

"Some cultivators have suggested clearing out the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, which is a decent plan," said Taishu Hong. "But such matters still require the alliance leader’s decision."

Now, Fang Xi’s identity was not only that of Dragon Fish Island’s Master but also the leader of the Three Kingdoms League.

In theory, all Immortal Cultivators of the three kingdoms were his subordinates.

"Ever since the Island Master entered seclusion for artifact refinement, it has been over a year since he has come out..."

Regarding this, Zhong Hongyu could only shake her head.

Just as Zhang Zhusheng was about to say something else, the three suddenly turned their heads towards the direction of the Evergreen Hall.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

In an instant, three streaks of light left the Void Hall and stood proudly in mid-air, looking towards the Evergreen Hall where a column of evil Qi light shot straight into the sky.

The previously cloudless and clear skies suddenly became covered with dark clouds, with the sound of thunder in the distance.

"Is this... a phenomenon between heaven and earth?!"

Taishu Hong’s eyes were filled with shock: "Could it be that someone is about to form their Nascent Soul?!"

"This isn’t the phenomenon of forming a Nascent Soul..."

Zhang Zhusheng, with the richest experience among them, shook his head: "But the pressure this exerts on us... it must be the sign of some powerful Exotic Treasure’s birth..."

"The young master is just in the process of refining a treasure..." Zhong Hongyu murmured slightly dazedly.

Crash!

At that moment, a peal of thunder flashed across, followed by countless droplets of rain falling down.

Hai Danaiu, who also flew up into the air, reached out his hand in a daze and caught a drop of rain, only to discover it was blood red.

The heaven weeps, and blood rains fall!

This sight caused every cultivator present to feel a chill rise in their hearts.

...

"Just as described in the records, the birth of the ’Divine Infant Sword’ will indeed cause some phenomena..."

"The atmosphere has been built up to this, and yet you’re not undergoing a lightning tribulation? That doesn’t make sense... oh well, Spirit Treasures don’t need to undergo lightning tribulations..."

Fang Xi muttered to himself while looking at his creation.

He saw the palm-sized ’Divine Infant Sword’ at the center of a small, intricately constructed, pitch-black Talisman forging Array.

Around the blade, three blood-red thin silhouettes continuously encircled and danced...

"Nascent Soul Sword Offering..."

Looking at the empty jade bottles and boxes beside him, Fang Xi whispered: "The Nascent Souls offered through blood sacrifice, not to mention soul possession, even reincarnation is a luxury... truly a Heterodox Supreme Treasure!"
