Chapter 515: Chapter 513 Offering Dan (Seeking Monthly Pass)_1

"Being able to bring the Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light to the Mahayana Realm is because after advancing to the late Nascent Soul stage, I have a deeper understanding of the Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Power... Indeed, competing in Divine Skill and Magic Power is not as effective as competing in Taoist Cultivation!"

Fang Xi had always been a steadfast advocate of cultivating to higher realms and loved to overpower others by transcending major cultivation thresholds.

At this moment, with a thought, a jade box that had been buried for a long time flew out from his Storage Ring.

After releasing the sealing talisman on the top of the jade box, a parcel wrapped in blue light flew out.

With a gentle gesture from Fang Xi, he caught the item in his hand.

He saw a verdant jade-like leaf, complete with stem and veins, its patterns incredibly distinct.

"Array Spirit White Deer..."

Thinking of everything in the Evergreen Garden Secret Land, Fang Xi’s face couldn’t help but show a hint of reminiscence.

"This item... It must be the key to some Spirit Realm. The White Deer had instructed me not to venture there until at least the late Nascent Soul stage or even Transcendent God..."

Fang Xi rather trusted the White Deer, so before advancing to the late Nascent Soul stage, he had simply put the item away at the bottom of the chest.

Now, as he carefully examined the spirit leaf with his Divine Consciousness, he immediately noticed something different.

"Quick!"

Fang Xi cast a magic spell, which entered the Green Leaf, causing it to instantly enlarge. The leaf shone brightly, brimming with spiritual energy, and lines of gold and silver emerged, suddenly revealing a map!

"Eh?"

His eyes shining, he instantly memorized the map, then understood, "The Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm that the White Deer spoke of, its entrance is actually in the Central Region?"

According to Fang Xi’s information, the Central Region had long been left in ruins.

"However, the Spirit Realm exists in its own world; it’s just that the entrance is somewhere in the central area... This leaf is the one and only key."

Fang Xi’s eyes flickered, and in the end, he decided to put the spirit leaf away again, pasting seventeen or eighteen talismans onto it.

"The White Deer did mention late Nascent Soul stage or Transcendent God... Going in the late Nascent Soul stage would be too reckless, at least wait until I’m a Transcendent God... and possibly not even in the early stages of Transcendent God, but wait until I’ve reached Perfect Transcendent God..."

With this thought, he suddenly felt as if the world had become more open.

Fang Xi laughed heartily and entered the dongfu inside the Mountain Sea Pearl.

As soon as he entered this world, he saw Xiao Qing beating Daqing...

A Green Fire Luan stood on a Blue Dragon, looking particularly formidable.

Seeing Fang Xi’s arrival, the Green Fire Luan transformed into a young girl with dangling hair, running over cheerfully, "Master... it’s so boring here, every day I’m either playing with Daqing or cutting Taisui Meat to feed the Monster Tree..."

"Enough, you’ll have your chance to show off in the future..."

Fang Xi glanced at Daqing, noting that this Flood Dragon had already advanced three stages to the upper level, and nodded in approval internally.

Although these past years he had only given Daqing some scraps, those had sufficed for this Dead Salted Fish to climb up steadily.

After all, his horizons had broadened now and his enemies had become more formidable, Daqing had even consumed the flesh and blood of Heavenly Phoenix and those from the Five Elements Qilin Tribe... though those were leftovers from when the Monster Tree was modified.

Furthermore, with the ’Sky Demon Slaying Immortal Tactics’ he passed on, if Daqing couldn’t advance, it would be quite a disappointment.

Fang Xi decided in his heart that if he became a Transcendent God and the dragon still hadn’t broken through to the fourth tier, then Daqing could be given up on...

He turned and left, causing Daqing to shiver, its reverse scales bristling. It resolved to cultivate diligently from then on; otherwise, its master might flay and debone it, making it cough up everything it had eaten over the years...

Fang Xi arrived beneath the Monster Tree, swept it with his Divine Consciousness casually, and saw the immovable Taisui.

He ignored Taisui and approached the trunk of the tree, running his hand over the Monster Tree’s black bark.

After advancing to the Grandmaster stage, his comprehension of Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Power had deepened even further.

Fang Xi was now contemplating the ’Longevity Skills’ and even felt that there were many subtleties he had not noticed before, and possibly some errors.

"But those are minor issues; the biggest problem, I fear, lies with the Monster Tree itself!"

He caressed the trunk, murmuring to himself.

The Monster Tree was like an extension of himself, and upon reaching the late Nascent Soul stage, his understanding of the tree had ascended to a new level.

"As of now, it’s difficult for my Eternal Green Body to make progress, most likely because the Monster Tree isn’t growing fast enough... The third-tier Taisui Meat is insufficient."

"The Monster Tree requires a Blood Sacrifice, a massive amount of high-level Blood Sacrifice..."

Fang Xi pondered with a contemplative expression.

Of course, he couldn’t go on a massive hunt for Immortal Cultivators and sever ties with the human race; hence his choices were left to the Monster Clan and Demon Clan.

"If I could obtain a large amount of high-tier Monster and Demon flesh... The Monster Tree could grow rapidly, and my ’Longevity Skills’ might just reach full maturity, allowing my ’Longevity Taoist Body’ to break through to Transcendent God in one go, perfect!"

Joy flickered in Fang Xi’s eyes. He then sat down cross-legged beneath the Monster Tree and began refining his personal spiritual treasures anew.

Not to mention, with the ’Five Elements Ring’ now in his hands, its power was sure to far exceed what it was before.

...

After thoroughly consolidating his Cultivation, Fang Xi came out of the dongfu and saw several Voice Transmission Talismans floating outside Qingxu Peak.

He casually picked one up and immediately smiled.

After pondering for a moment, he casually made a magic gesture.

In the Void, blue specks of light converged, forming a small blue sword.

Fang Xi spoke a few words to the Flying Sword, and then it turned into a flash of blue light, vanishing into the sky.

Not long after, a flash of Escape Light streaked across the sky.

Lord Yunzhu scanned with his Divine Consciousness and felt Fang Xi’s unfathomable depth, immediately paying solemn respects, "Congratulations to Lord Tiankui for breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage and achieving the Grandmaster level!"

His bow was sincere and profound.

"Never mind that..."

Fang Xi looked at Lord Yunzhu, who had grown even more aged, and suddenly said, "You probably guessed it, I solely borrowed this auspicious place for Cultivation breakthrough, and now that my Cultivation is complete, I plan to leave..."

Lord Yunzhu felt despondent, understanding that the Three Immortals Sect was ultimately too small to accommodate such a powerful figure.

"Before leaving, I must repay the hospitality of your sect..."

Fang Xi smiled gently.

When he originally accepted the "Ghost Fire of Yellow Spring," although he made no promises, he knew he would take care of the Three Immortals Sect to some extent—this was an unspoken understanding between them.

Now ready to dust off his bottom and leave, even though he had eradicated Master Flowing Wind for the Three Immortals Sect, he could still leave behind a small gift, consolidating a good karma.

"Sir, there’s no need to be so courteous..."

Lord Yunzhu said, "Since Sir has been residing on Qingxu Peak, even though he has been purchasing supplies, the Spirit Stones offered were slightly higher than the market price, fair and square... To be honest, our Three Immortals Sect has also benefited from using Sir’s reputation..."

Being old and cunning, he knew that gratitude could turn into enmity, and now that Lord Tiankui had achieved the stature of a great Cultivator, his status was different. Clinging to the favor of the Ghost Fire of Yellow Spring would only lower their standing.

"Haha... then this pill, I shall give it to you."

Fang Xi took out a jade bottle and handed it to Lord Yunzhu: "From now on, my relationship with the Three Immortals Sect... is genuinely cleared..."

"What is this..."

Lord Yunzhu, holding the jade bottle, faintly heard the sound of phoenixes from within, and immediately realized that this medicinal pill was extraordinary.

"This is the ’Phoenix Origin Pill’, it is quite effective in helping Nascent Soul early stage Cultivators break through to the middle stage, and it also has the power to extend lifespan..."

Fang Xi’s gaze pierced through the calm which Lord Yunzhu was desperately trying to maintain, and saw a glint of joy.

This was normal, after all, clinging to life was always preferable to death, especially for Immortal Cultivators like them.

"For us Nascent Soul Cultivators, breaking through realms also extends our lifespan. Even if you fail to break through, the added lifespan from this pill might enable you to hold on until the Three Immortals Sect cultivates another generation of Nascent Soul Cultivators..."

Fang Xi said indifferently.

These ’Phoenix Origin Pills’ were scavenged from Elder Qing.

Most of them were used as snacks by Xiao Qing, while a small portion could be used for trading.

"Thank you, Sir. The great kindness and virtue will be imprinted in the hearts of everyone in the Three Immortals Sect."

Lord Yunzhu gave a solemn bow of gratitude.

"Enough..."

Fang Xi waved his sleeve, and suddenly a blue light flashed.

By the time Lord Yunzhu came to his senses, Lord Tiankui was long gone...

...

Several days later.

Fang Xi emerged from a marketplace, turned into a streak of blue light, and shot straight into the sky.

High in the sky, he lay on a cloud, hands behind his head, corners of his mouth forming a somewhat helpless smile: "Finally... a Transcendent God has made a move, huh?"

"I just want to peacefully plant trees and cultivate, why is that so hard?"

Recently, with a Transcendent God of the Monster Clan taking action in the Western Desert, the situation in the South Wilderness looked even more pessimistic, probably already overrun.

Fang Xi figured that even if he went back now, although he could kill four or five late-stage transforming Demonic Beasts, he wouldn’t be able to change the course of the battle.

"The Monster Clan is a bit fierce lately; I’ll go bully the Demon Clan first..."

...

The Nine States.

Within a cluster of volcanoes.

Countless Earth Flames surged forth, transforming into various fire Flood Dragons, fire phoenixes, fire crows...

At the core, on a pitch-black stage, stood Master Ghost Axe with an honest face, directing Fang Xi in the sacrificial refining of the Divine Infant Sword!

"This ’Blood River Stone’ of yours has already gained sentience and transformed, truly a rare occurrence... If you rashly forge it, losing its spirit would be a great pity..."

Master Ghost Axe said, "Utilizing ’change’, I pondered painfully for seven days and finally designed this ’refining furnace’. It can draw upon the Earth Flames and evoke the Fire Formation Divine Light beneath this volcano cluster. Using this Fire Attribute Divine Light to forge the Divine Infant Sword is nearly equivalent to a Transcendent God Cultivator forging it personally... Only that can perfectly merge the spirit of the Blood River Stone with the Divine Infant Sword..."

Fang Xi listened and nodded repeatedly.

If one were to speak of understanding the Demon Clan, there were hardly any in the Lower Realm nowadays more knowledgeable than the Cultivators of The Nine States.

They had captured a large number of members from the Demon Clan, studying their Cultivation, Demonic Artifacts...

The plan to remodel the ’Divine Infant Sword’, thus, was progressing very smoothly.

"The yang year, yang month, yang day, yang hour are upon us... begin the forging!"

Master Ghost Axe suddenly shouted loudly.

At that moment, the Heterodox Nascent Soul who was now at mid-stage Cultivation casually gathered rays of demonic light and launched them into the earth’s depths, exploding into numerous Dark Demonic Thunder blasts!

With a thunderous roar!

Miles of magma boiled over, and the ground cracked open...

The volcano, as if enraged, spewed forth strands of crimson light from deep within!

All those fire spirits took form, spiraling around the Fire Formation Divine Light, moving rhythmically towards the ’Divine Infant Sword’ in mid-air!

The Divine Infant Sword let out a humming sound as blood-red figures appeared around it, circling the sword as if dancing.

Wrapped in the Fire Formation Divine Light, the ’Blood River Stone’ also rapidly melted, transforming into a huge crimson demonic bat that suddenly screeched and charged at the Divine Infant Sword!

The crimson demonic bat, with its ferocious face, devoured the blood-red figures one by one.

But with each figure it consumed, a symbol appeared on its body, eventually forming nine linked symbols.

As the crimson demonic bat tried to fly away, the Divine Infant Sword emitted a wail like a baby’s cry, countless blood threads emerged from the void, tightly wrapping around the demonic bat and engulfing it into the sword.

"Merge!"

Fang Xi constantly shifted hand seals, and strands of Fire Formation Divine Light enveloped the Divine Infant Sword.

Moments later.

A sword with an even more slender body, densely covered in blood vessels, flew out from the Fire Formation Divine Light, landing in Fang Xi’s hands.

"Thank you, Master."

Fang Xi flicked the sword with his finger, feeling very satisfied.

Master Ghost Axe, true to his reputation as a Grandmaster of Talisman forging, had made the re-forging of the ’Divine Infant Sword’ as simple as eating or drinking under his guidance, and the whole process went unimaginably smoothly!
