Desert ruins.

Ling Shu and the Heterodox Nascent Soul transformed into two streaks of light as they descended.

Along the way, Ling Shu hesitated several times as if she wanted to ask about the Sacred Fire Sect.

Also, Fang Xi’s appearance had changed completely, even the magic power fluctuations had reverted to the mid-Nascent Soul stage. Was this a deliberate disguise, or had he encountered a strong enemy that caused his Nascent Soul to leave his body and possess another’s, substantially damaging his primordial energy, leading to a fall in his realm?

She entered the underground with Fang Xi and saw an ancient teleportation array that was nearly half-completed.

Another ’Fang Xi’ was placing the last Array Disk, branded with various intricate patterns.

"Ling Shu... you really have successfully condensed your Nascent Soul."

Fang Xi turned around and smiled.

"Island Master..."

Ling Shu felt the Great Perfection-level Nascent Soul magic power fluctuations from Fang Xi’s body, trembled slightly, and bowed deeply: "I must also thank the Island Master for bringing me on this journey..."

Before, Fang Xi naturally split into two groups.

He set up the ancient teleportation array here, while the Heterodox Nascent Soul went to find Ling Shu, working on both ends.

Moreover, when it was time to return to the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm, he tended to prefer taking Ling Shu with him to completely sever all ties with the Western Desert Cultivation World.

"There’s no need to be polite..."

Fang Xi smiled faintly and began adjusting the Array Disk.

A moment later, the ancient teleportation array roared to life, continuously extracting the spiritual energy of top-grade Spirit Stones, and ancient runes lit up one by one.

"Very good, it looks like it’s been successful."

Fang Xi instructed the Heterodox Nascent Soul to stand on it and immediately began casting spells.

In a flash of silver light, the form of the Heterodox Nascent Soul disappeared.

Through the vague sense within one world, he could be aware of many things.

At the very least, he could confirm that Jade Island on the other side was still safe.

Fang Xi was not actually afraid that Demon Lord Tian Du and other Nascent Soul old monsters would revolt, but he did dread the suspected fifth-tier Ghost Cultivator suppressed beneath Jade Island in the Ninety-nine Green Vine Gourds!

"Everything is fine; go ahead."

After pondering for a while, he said to Ling Shu.

Ling Shu stepped onto the ancient teleportation array and then saw Fang Xi approaching.

The silver light flickered, enveloping them both.

...

A sensation of the world spinning around them came.

When Ling Shu regained her senses, she was already in the back hall of Evergreen Hall within the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm!

"Finally... I’m back."

A trace of joy appeared on her face.

No matter how good the Western Desert Cultivation World was, this place was after all her homeland.

She looked around and did not see Fang Xi’s second Nascent Soul, but she didn’t mind.

For a great cultivator to practice a second Nascent Soul, a divine skill like this, was quite reasonable.

At this time, two Golden Core-level Escape Lights flashed outside the hall, and two women entered, namely Zhong Hongyu and Liu Xu!

"Island Master, Sir Ling Shu... you’ve finally returned."

Zhong Hongyu was slightly excited.

"Yes! We’re back!"

Fang Xi nodded, patted his Storage Bag.

In a burst of spiritual light, a Jade Talisman fell onto the ancient teleportation array.

"This is a Sealing Jade Talisman, with it suppressing the array, this ancient teleportation array can no longer be used."

In his own lair, Fang Xi was still quite at ease.

With this side sealed, even if Ancestor Huo ultimately found that ancient teleportation array, it would be of no use.

Of course, a Transcendent God could still traverse the dangers and personally travel to the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm, so Fang Xi decided it was best to ascend to Transcendent God as soon as possible.

Although... the other party didn’t even know the origins of ’Qing Hezi,’ but it was still something he had to guard against.

Fang Xi glanced at Liu Xu, noticed the woman’s cultivation had improved significantly, and nodded in encouragement. He immediately ordered a feast to be prepared to celebrate properly.

...

The night is deep, the moonlight like water.

Fang Xi, carrying a gourd of wine, came to Evergreen Hall.

Outside Evergreen Hall, a red shadow flashed.

"Hong Yu, come in."

Looking into the moonlight, Fang Xi watched as a woman with a hint of heroism in her brows and eyes walked in and couldn’t help but show a trace of reminiscence.

He was now over five hundred years old, and Zhong Hongyu was over four hundred, entering the twilight years of life.

"Greetings, young master."

Zhong Hongyu’s expression was indescribably complex as she gazed upon Fang Xi’s unchanged face and gave a deep salute.

"Mm, you’ve managed Jade Island while I was away these years, it has indeed been hard on you."

Fang Xi comforted her, and two Jade Bottles appeared, carried by a wave of magic power to Zhong Hongyu’s front.

One bottle contained a ’Longevity Turtle’ pill that could extend one’s lifespan by a hundred years.

The other bottle held an ’Infant Transformation Pill.’

Fang Xi introduced them casually, only to see a strong look of emotion appear on Zhong Hongyu’s face.

Initially, he thought to casually bestow just one, yet since his gain from the outside world was abundant, he no longer needed to make Zhong Hongyu choose.

After all, she was an old acquaintance who had followed him for four hundred years.

"The Infant Transformation Pill... This pill is too precious, young master should give it to a cultivator who needs it more..."

Zhong Hongyu pondered for a long time before finally answering as such.

This ’Infant Transformation Pill’ would only slightly increase her chances of a breakthrough to Nascent Soul, but if given to Liu Xu with a Heavenly Grade Wood Spiritual Root, I’m afraid there would be a fifty percent certainty of the Nascent Soul reaching Great Perfection!

"I have my own arrangements for Liu Xu..."

Fang Xi waved his hand; he always helped friends rather than seeking justice. Compared to Zhong Hongyu, Liu Xu wasn’t even a disciple in name, and he genuinely felt little affection for her.

Moreover... after he ascended to Transcendent God, the Infant Transformation Pill wouldn’t be a resource difficult to obtain.

Not to mention, the Sacred Fire Sect had greatly offended him, and this sect must have a collection of the ’Infant Transformation Pill’...

"Thank you, my lord!"

Zhong Hongyu’s expression was excited as she carefully stored the pill.

Having gained a lifespan of over a hundred years and the Infant Transformation Pill, she finally saw a glimmer of hope in condensing her Nascent Soul.

And as a cultivator, who doesn’t yearn for a higher realm?

"Enough, you may leave," Fang Xi said with a wave of his hand, dismissing Zhong Hongyu and then reflecting on the changes in the Cultivation Realm of the Three Kingdoms and Yuan Country over the years.

With his face as the Righteous and Demonic Alliance Leader, Gong Ling and Feng Bingxian’s development in Yuan Country had been smooth, and they had basically taken over the high-level Spiritual Veins, minerals, and Spiritual Medicine Gardens.

Unfortunately, the most precious Secret Realm of the Mixed Origin Sect had long been destroyed, otherwise, its value would have been immeasurable.

In Thousand Island Lake, Hai Danaiu and other cultivators had also managed the remaining Spirit Islands well, sending a large amount of Spirit Rice and Spiritual Objects to Jade Island annually, which were now all consumed by Taisui.

What about Jade Island?

It was also well-organized by the two ladies, Zhong Hongyu and Liu Xu.

’The Great Array is also in good shape, it seems that the sealed Transcendent God Ghost Cultivator really can’t stir up any trouble...’ Fang Xi thought as he sipped on some Green Bamboo Wine before returning to his closed-door cultivation room to enter a deep state of seclusion.

This time, he had damaged a little Primordial Energy and needed time to recuperate. It was the perfect opportunity to fully perfect the second layer of the Seven Emotions and Sorrows Script.

...

Time flew by, and several years passed.

After Ling Shu condensed her Nascent Soul, she had once bid farewell to Fang Xi and went to Jiang Country to settle scores.

Several years later, she returned and took up long-term residence on Jade Island.

At this time, Jade Island, in addition to Land Mountain Turtle and Puppets, finally had a proper Nascent Soul cultivator in charge.

Inside the closed-door cultivation room,

Fang Xi’s eyes were tightly closed when suddenly he formed seals with his hands.

On his body, one after another, emerald runes flickered, radiating a green glow all around.

A sense of vitality as if all things were reviving spread continuously.

"Indestructible Body of Yi Wood!"

Sounds of cracking emanated from Fang Xi’s body when suddenly his expression changed, and he spat out a mouthful of pitch-black congealed blood.

"Huff, huff..."

He took out a green handkerchief and gently wiped his mouth. "I didn’t expect... there would still be some residual damage in the tiny veins... If it’s not completely healed, it might indeed cause some trouble when advancing to Transcendent God."

Over the years, he had continuously nourished the Demon Tree to replenish the consumption of the ’Yi Wood Magic Body’, then used ’Indestructible Yi Wood’ again, and with the healing Secret Technique from the Kuyong Skills, had recovered the lost Primordial energy from his injuries and healed quite a bit.

But during the healing, Fang Xi discovered some minor hidden injuries in the minute parts of his body.

This was probably all the accumulation of past hardships. It was a good time to remove them altogether, and he had even made a special trip to The Nine States to consult many high-level therapeutic masters and Health Maintenance Experts for their opinions.

Now that all the hidden dangers were removed, Fang Xi felt refreshed as if he had been reborn once again.

’For the three barriers of essence, energy, and spirit in transcending to God, the essence barrier surely won’t trouble me,’ Fang Xi thought confidently.

Then, his hands formed seals again, and his Divine Consciousness began to circulate slowly along a specific path.

Time passed without knowing how long, and various expressions flickered on Fang Xi’s face: happiness, anger, sorrow, joy, fear...

All kinds of expressions vividly appeared, until finally, there was only calmness left!

Fang Xi opened his eyes, and his Divine Consciousness spread out—one hundred li, two hundred li, three hundred li...

Only when it reached five hundred li and was on the verge of his Divine Consciousness’s limit did he have to stop.

"The second layer of the Seven Emotions and Sorrows Script is complete!"

He murmured and then suddenly pressed his forehead.

A Divine Thought flew out, turning into a transparent thread, but the thread suddenly swelled and transformed into a face identical to Fang Xi’s!

"Divine Thought Materialisation!"

"I’ve finally broken through the Divine Consciousness realm of a Transcendent God!"

Fang Xi exhaled satisfyingly.

This trip was not only about rapid progression in his cultivation technique, but also for refining his heart in the mortal world and completing the second layer of the ’Seven Emotions and Sorrows Script’.

Now that it was successfully completed, his Divine Consciousness greatly increased, and his chances of transcending to God grew stronger!

"I still have some ’Sky Demon Qi’, which should suffice as kindling when breaking through... Equivalent to a Spiritual Pill that assists in breaking through the Transcendent God bottleneck!"

"The three barriers of essence, energy, and spirit are not troublesome at all... I’m sure I can induce the Transcendent God celestial phenomena; as long as I then draw Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Power into my body, the chasm to Transcendent God will essentially be flattened..."

Of course, immediately after breaking through the Transcendent God bottleneck, he would face three terrifying calamities.

Fang Xi now also had some confidence in how to get through those three great tribulations.

"Still... better to be on the safe side." "Prepare other contingencies to the absolute limit; the rest will have to rely on the elusive fortune... yet I happen to have a worm that can manipulate fortune."

He took out a worm resembling an eight-clawed spider—it was the Fortune Worm!

This worm, reaching the fifth order, should have some effect in breaking through to Transcendent God.

Previously, Fang Xi had used this worm as a magic tool, and it fell into a slumber, only recently awakening.

’It’s perfect to send the Heterodox Nascent Soul to the Red Sun World to collect fortune...’ ’By the way, it can also help those two named disciples, Yu Hua and Hua Feiye...’
