Chapter 528: Chapter 526: Transport (Performing Chapter 51 Shortages)_1
Dragon Fish Island.
The Seven Treasure Building Boat anchored, with numerous disciples from the Departure Demon Palace piloting their Escape Light and descending to begin burying and arranging the magical instruments for the array.
"So this is where the Island Master of Dragon Fish Island began his journey? Just a mere second-order Spiritual Vein? It is truly hard to believe..."
Su Xuelong swept the area with his Divine Consciousness, still very surprised at the bottom of his heart.
Such a cultivational field with a Spiritual Vein, even if gifted to his disciples, would seem somewhat embarrassing.
"Shallow waters can also produce a Flood Dragon..."
With a raise of his hand, Demon Lord Tian Du unleashed a pitch-black demonic light that fell, containing Spirit Eye trees, Spirit Eye stones, Spirit Eye springs, top-grade Spirit Stones, and various other Spirit Eye items.
These were the compensation from the Nascent Soul old monsters who had recklessly landed on Jade Island before.
Although Spirit Eye items were rare and scarce, most Nascent Soul old monsters still had some in their collection.
And facing the calamity of monster beasts, one couldn’t move a Spiritual Vein, but Spirit Eye items would definitely be taken along.
Now, they were all compensated to Fang Xi, compared to the resources spent on Jade Island, they were at a significant loss...
Not only that, they were also driven by Fang Xi to go to various great Spirit Islands to lay out Spiritual Veins and Array Eyes...
"Let the Array Masters set up the array... With the Spirit Gathering Array, in combination with Spirit Eye items, elevate this island’s Spiritual Vein to fourth order..."
Demon Lord Tian Du took out an Array Map given by Fang Xi and instructed.
Su Xuelong received the command with a solemn face, leading the disciples off to work like laborers.
’Dragon Fish Island’s Lord Master... just how far can you go?’
Demon Lord Tian Du watched this scene, silently pondering.
...
Seven days later.
Jade Island.
A gigantic Demon Tree stood proudly, towering into the clouds, with its crown covering the sky and blotting out the sun.
Countless Qi Roots dangled, some still hanging Nascent Souls from both righteous and demonic cultivators, as well as other cultivators who were wailing and begging for mercy... yet they were still being slowly and relentlessly drained of their essence, turning into dried corpses.
Every Nascent Soul of both the righteous and demonic paths who witnessed this scene couldn’t help but tremble in fear.
Even Demon Lord Tian Du couldn’t help but wonder about who truly belonged to the Demon Path...
Inside the Evergreen Hall.
Fang Xi wore a slight smile, receiving the many Nascent Soul old monsters.
With the Taiyi Sutra aiding him, his own mastery in array building had greatly improved. Now, by combining the Transformative God Demon Body Divine Wood Array and the Positive and Negative Two Yi Sumeru Nine Palaces Array... The array he set up was named ’Yin Yang Nine Nether Mysterious Wood Array’!
In theory, it should be a quasi fifth-order array!
However, it didn’t matter, as the Taiyi Sutra could completely act as the Array Spirit, operating the Great Array, making it exhibit a might no less than a fifth-order power!
Regarding the devious intentions harbored by those Nascent Soul old monsters below him, he was of course aware but simply didn’t care.
With the Taiyi Sutra to identify and make up for deficiencies, he could easily know if anyone was meddling with the array setup, and then he would decisively deal with them.
Those Nascent Souls hung up alongside other cultivators came to be in this way.
Looking at the more than ten Nascent Soul old monsters below him, their expressions silent as cicadas in winter, Fang Xi smiled with satisfaction, knowing that he had finally secured his position as the supreme leader of both the righteous and demonic paths.
He had each of them report on their work and then dismiss them. Demon Lord Tian Du deliberately moved a bit more slowly, falling behind at the end of the line.
In the end, only the great cultivator remained in the Evergreen Hall.
"Sir Tian Du, did you intentionally stay behind because you have something to say?"
Fang Xi, holding an ancient scroll made of beast skin, asked with a smile.
"The fourth-order Spiritual Vein on Dragon Fish Island has been completed... Many instruments for the array have also been buried..."
Demon Lord Tian Du said, "Do you truly have confidence you can resist the Monster Clan? It must be known that at this time, the Nascent Soul cultivators of both the righteous and demonic paths might all be harboring grievances... and with the speed at which the Monster Clan’s army is moving, it won’t be long before they sweep over the three countries."
Because the Transcendent God of the Monster Clan was suppressed by the Mortal Realm and feared the backlash of spiritual power after casting spells, they rarely took action.
However, with just several top-tier fourth-order monsters under their command, accompanied by a horde of beast armies coming over, victory was believed to be certain!
"It doesn’t matter... as long as they work hard as laborers, because I never intended to let them fight when the great battle comes... I will take action myself when the time comes!"
Fang Xi answered with a faint smile.
’Is this sheer arrogance or does he have a well-thought-out plan?’
Demon Lord Tian Du was speechless and could only once again give his respects and withdraw.
After all the Nascent Soul cultivators had left, Fang Xi then thoughtfully tapped the Taiyi Sutra.
...
The Nine States Realm.
The magical arrays of countless cities were opened, with massive engineering teams heading towards the wastelands, transforming the former ruins into cities anew.
A Heterodox Nascent Soul stood high in the air, watching this scene.
A ray of light landed beside him, it was the Lord Demon Exterminator, Master of the Sky Palace!
"How about those two Demon Lords and the remaining Demon Clan?"
Fang Xi asked casually.
"No trace... They must have escaped deep into the cosmos and even concealed a part of the void with their arrays..."
Lord Demon Exterminator sighed, "With the vastness of the universe, to find this group of remnants from the Moon Demon is indeed extremely difficult..."
And since it was difficult to move Origin Soul artifacts, even if they were located, whether an attack could be launched was another issue.
Therefore, the three hall masters decided to maintain the status quo and each entered seclusion to cultivate in the hopes of achieving a Transcendent God breakthrough.
After all, as long as one of them achieved Transcendent God, the Demon Clan need not be considered a threat anymore.
"Very well then," said Fang Xi with a nod.
At that moment, Lord Demon Exterminator suddenly tossed a ’Biyi Tube’ over to him.
Fang Xi caught it, only to see a wisp of dark green ’Sky Demon Qi’ inside!
"This was just delivered by the Primordial Energy Research Institute. Lu Shiming took a wisp from the original ’Sky Demon Qi’, cultivated it further... Although it’s not as effective as the original, the chances of going berserk after use have been reduced considerably," explained Lord Demon Exterminator.
"In that case, it’s also quite good," Fang Xi said, holding the Biyi Tube with a slight gleam in his eyes.
With the Essence Blood of the Land Mountain Turtle and the Gold Dragon Turtle in hand, if he could gather the blood of a fourth-stage Flood Dragon, he could cultivate the ’Small Four Spirits Armor’. Then, if he faced a Transcendent God Monster cultivator, he would have a bit more confidence.
Besides, this was also in preparation for the Transcendent God Tribulation.
...
Fang Xi turned into a streak of Escape Light and arrived at a massive factory.
Giant shipping containers were lined up and stacked, forming a small steel mountain.
"I’ve already granted the permissions; the palace master can start at any time."
A light screen emerged, showing the somewhat simple face of Master Ghost Axe.
From space, one would see that the three hundred and sixty-five Astral Pagodas had already been reclaimed.
And following a modular loading program, they had been disassembled into large components and placed inside the containers one by one.
"The assembly program has been uploaded into ’Tai Yi’. Once you’ve arrived at the location, set up the factory first, then leave the rest to the Yellow Turban Strongmen and the nanorobots... To be successful in one go, I’ve specially reserved an extra thirty percent of spare parts!" Master Ghost Axe said with a smile, "In addition to that, there’s also a little gift..."
"Thank you," Fang Xi responded with joy in his heart. With mechanized assembly and a surplus of spare parts, this set of Origin Soul magical weapons could last at least a decade or two in the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm.
If they ever got severely damaged in the future, he could just bring them back here for repair.
"Don’t mention it. After all, the ’Heaven Star Array’ was originally yours. The Taoist Master has also acknowledged it..." Master Ghost Axe continued, "But Origin Soul magical weapons are bulky. How do you plan to transport them?"
"That’s simple..." In Fang Xi’s hand, the Mountain Sea Pearl appeared.
The pearl had been emptied of the Ancestral Demon Tree, leaving behind a huge space.
Although it was far from comparable to Fang Immortal Taoist Palace, it could carry the containers. With several trips back and forth, it would be enough.
The communication was disconnected.
Master Ghost Axe muttered to himself, "Indeed... the enforcement palace master is not from our realm, but he possesses the means to travel between two worlds... Perhaps one day the Door of Ten Thousand Worlds can truly be brought back?"
...
Jade Island.
With the aid of several trips by the Heterodox Nascent Soul, numerous containers were moved out from the Mountain Sea Pearl, and a vigorous construction began all over the island.
Under the guidance of Hai Danaiu and other Core Formation Cultivators, many cultivators first cleared a large area of land, followed by the construction of the factory.
In fact... they just needed to ensure that the cultivators and common folk did not disturb the working Yellow Turban Strongmen.
A mature factory knows how to assemble itself!
"My goodness..." Hai Danaiu watched, dumbfounded, as shipping containers unfolded, automatically laying out floors and factory walls, and as Yellow Turban Strongmen emerged one after another, starting to install various equipment. He mumbled to himself, "Is this... Puppet mechanism art? If it’s gonna be the death of me... If the landlord has so many Puppet workers helping with farming, what will happen if he no longer needs me?"
Fang Xi couldn’t care less about a farm manager’s fear of losing his job.
At this moment, he was contemplating the data within the ’Taiyi Sutra’, with a look of astonishment, "A small gift... This gift isn’t small at all."
On the light screen, a three-dimensional structure resembling a cannon barrel appeared, with a series of explanations below:
"Chaotic Hole Star Destroyer Cannon... Originally a semi-finished product intended for the Patrol Sky Warship... as there were several technical issues unsolved, it couldn’t be completed in time for the battle against Tai Yin..."
"Later acquired Divine Demon flesh and blood, made use of biotechnology to fill in the last gaps, resulting in this first prototype... all it has is the power for one strike, but its might is comparable to a strike unleashed by a Late Nascent Soul cultivator employing the ’Six Annihilation Secret Art’ and burning Essence Blood and Nascent Soul..."
"Does that mean it’s roughly equivalent to the Power of Transcendent God?" Fang Xi’s eyes brightened, but then he pursed his lips, "Once the ’Heaven Star Array’ is up in the sky, every strike I make will have the power of Transcendent God. Still, this cannon can be kept as a trump card..."
...
At this moment, in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.
Screech!!!
Accompanied by a long cry, a huge Monster Bird with wings spanning over a hundred yards, covered in Colorful Feathers and a peacock-like tail, soared through the sky, prompting many Monster beasts to lower their heads in submission.
With a flash of color, it transformed into a graceful young girl wearing a Five-colored Feather Robe—it was ’Qing’er’, who had once crossed hands with Fang Xi!
But now, her cultivation had regressed to the lower ranks of the fourth stage.
Standing before a gorgeous woman adorned with a feather decoration on her forehead, Qing’er said indignantly, "Elder Luan... this time, I must demand justice from that despicable human!"
Elder Luan tenderly stroked the girl’s head, shaking her head, "That human might not be easy to deal with. You weren’t his match last time, and this time it’s even less likely..."
"Had I not used my life-saving secret skill and suffered great damage to my Primordial Energy, why would my cultivation be unable to recover now! This deep hatred must be avenged!" Qing’er clenched her teeth.
"The rumors suggest that he is a descendant of Green Emperor Mountain, with Elder Qing and Feng Shisan daringly infiltrating the human race to assassinate him, only to both perish..." Elder Luan’s face grew serious, "Thankfully, this time the Supreme Elder has taken action, and will certainly extract his soul and refine his spirit to avenge you!"
"There’s no need for the Supreme Elder. I think just Elder Luan and the other Upper Rank Monster Clan could easily capture those human Cultivators. Hmph, humans are all weak-willed. They fled before even seeing us this time, but where can they run to?" Qing’er stubbornly said.
