Chapter 579: Chapter 577 - Completion of the Four Sages (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_1

"Brother Kuang, who cultivated the Three Corpse Nascent Soul, is also dead..."

Jue Yanzi looked at the scene, feeling his face go stiff.

This ’Brother Kuang’ had a significant reputation in the Sacred Fire Sect because he cultivated a secret skill called ’Three Corpse Nascent Soul,’ which enabled him to split his Nascent Soul into three to escape in times of crisis. Even if a grand cultivator hunted him, he could still escape with his life!

But unexpectedly, when facing a Transcendent God, not even one-third of his Nascent Soul managed to flee...

"How can we easily speak of abandoning the traditional teachings of our sect?"

A Core Formation elder spoke eloquently, only to be pierced through the heavenly spirit by a flying sword above his head, his corpse falling to the ground.

Presently, those being killed were the cultivators loyal to the Sacred Fire Sect!

"Incorrigibly obstinate..."

Fang Xi sighed, his fingers moving as if plucking the strings of a qin.

Green long swords descended one by one, effortlessly penetrating the spiritual shields and armor of Core Formation and even Nascent Soul cultivators, obliterating their body and spirit...

Jue Yanzi and Sang Qingsong looked blankly around, realizing that they seemed to be the only high-level cultivators left alive.

This was the power of a Transcendent God!

"How do you two choose?"

Fang Xi snorted coldly, asking.

"I am leaving the sect as of today and will no longer be associated with the Sacred Fire Sect. Should I violate this vow, let heart demons breed within me and lead to my death!"

Jue Yanzi gritted his teeth and made a Heart Demon Oath.

Although Nascent Soul cultivators don’t take this very seriously, it’s nevertheless a stance.

"Sang Qingsong... also leaves the Sacred Fire Sect today..."

Sang Qingsong, seeing the Lord Black Sand he brought in almost destroy the Sacred Fire Sect, also had a face filled with bitterness.

"Enough, you two may go..."

Fang Xi waved them off, letting the two Nascent Souls leave on their own, especially since he had already tricked the two of them quite miserably before.

As for those Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining disciples who were even less significant than ants, he couldn’t be bothered to pay them any attention.

He turned to Fairy Yunxi and Ancestor Bai, "The spiritual vein of the Sacred Fire Sect now belongs to me; do you have any objections?"

"In the future Western Desert Cultivation World, naturally, Your Excellency will be held in the highest esteem," the Bai family ancestor replied, his face twitching, but he still responded as such.

Fairy Yunxi, on the other hand, replied with a smile, "Yunxi also acknowledges... I have not yet congratulated my fellow daoist on your successful Transcendent God cultivation, but I wonder why you spared those two Nascent Souls?"

"The Sacred Fire Sect must have hidden veins and Nascent Soul cultivators outside; you simply can’t kill them all..."

Fang Xi shook his head, "Those two have also not been my enemies; so, I let them off... In the future, they can serve as targets."

If there were any remnants of the Sacred Fire Sect seeking revenge on these two, he could indeed follow the trail.

Of course, Fang Xi wouldn’t pay any attention to these matters unless the Sacred Fire Sect produced another Transcendent God.

Such a task of exterminating remnants should naturally be handed over to his subordinates.

Fang Xi’s face was full of smiles, not showing any of the ruthlessness he had just shown in wiping out most of the high-level cultivators of the Sacred Fire Sect: "I am preparing to hold a Transcendent God Celebration soon; I hope you two daoists will be sure to grace the occasion..."

Now that he was invincible in the Mortal Realm, many things no longer needed to be hidden.

For example, the ancient teleportation array leading to the South Wilderness could be manned and developed in the future, connecting the South Wilderness with the other three domains.

"Certainly."

The Bai family ancestor and Fairy Yunxi exchanged glances, both solemnly agreeing.

...

Inside the Mountain Sea Pearl Dongfu.

Fang Xi saw the aged corpse of Ancestor Huo under the transplanted Ancestral Demon Tree.

Qi roots draped down, seemingly intimidated by the aura emanating from his corpse after death, not daring to move...

"It seems that creating a Transcendent God puppet is still a luxury at the moment..."

Fang Xi shook his head, "Moreover, since Transcendent Gods manipulate the power of heaven and earth, even if I could turn Ancestor Huo into a wood puppet, his prowess would likely only be at the Nascent Soul level..."

"Even if the Ancestral Demon Tree could refine old demons and members of the Monster Clan at the level of a Transcendent God, it would only yield an incredibly strong puppet body... The various Divine Skills that require invoking the power of heaven and earth would still be lacking, greatly diminishing its power."

After all, his ’Wood Puppet Skills’ were just a sidenote.

Perhaps in the Earth Immortal World, there are higher-level puppet skills that can truly harness the combat abilities of Transcendent Gods or even those at the Returning to Emptiness level!

But Fang Xi, at present, undoubtedly had no access to them.

The best puppets in the Mortal Realm were only of fourth-order superior grade...

He sighed and grabbed Ancestor Huo’s Storage Bag.

At the same time, several treasures also appeared in midair.

Fang Xi just glanced at them and sighed again, as none of the treasures were of the fifth-order Spirit Communicating level.

His divine consciousness entered Ancestor Huo’s Storage Bag, and first off, he saw a pile of top-grade Spirit Stones.

Beyond that were large quantities of materials associated with the Fire Attribute.

The ’Blood of Fire Kirin,’ which Fang Xi coveted, was among them.

"This Ancestor Huo, gathering so many Fire Attribute materials, is probably still trying to forge a treasure?"

Fang Xi took out a fiery crimson jade slip, his divine consciousness probing inside.

A Talisman forging spell soon emerged.

"Five Fires Seven Birds Fan... Quite an ambitious goal, originating from laws of forging passed down in the Earth Immortal Realm."

Fang Xi scanned it briefly, disinterested as talisman forging was not his passion, and moreover, the materials collected in this Storage Bag weren’t even one-third of what was needed to forge the Five Fires Seven Birds Fan.

He was ready to throw all these raw materials and the methods of refining to the Nine States, uncertain of what those cultivators might come up with.

"However, this fan is said to be originally an ’Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure’ from the Earth Immortal Realm, famously known for its myriad of unimaginable uses... Once refined, it should easily withstand Void Storms... No wonder Ancestor Huo went to such lengths to try and replicate it."

Even Nascent Soul cultivators ascending through the ’Ascension Platform’ would encounter dangers.

If they ran into a Void Storm, their survival would be a narrow one!

Ancestor Huo had yet to refine this treasure to protect his body and naturally didn’t dare to take the risk.

Fang Xi, on the other hand, directly took out fifth-stage Kirin Blood, a hint of a smile spreading across his face.

The ’Thousands Demon Armor’ secret skill he used during the Transcendent God tribulation had proved its remarkable ability to weaken the power of the heavenly tribulation.

This was still the incomplete ’Three Holy Beast Armor’.

If he could gather fifth-stage essence blood of all four spirits and transform it into the true ’Four Holy Beasts Armor,’ it would definitely provide even greater resistance against heavenly tribulations.

For cultivators, this was naturally excellent news.

Therefore, even though Fang Xi knew that this bottle of ’Blood of Fire Kirin’ was an important ingredient to refine the Five Fires Seven Birds Fan, he did not hesitate to prepare to use it for cultivating the secret skill.

After all, compared to potential future gains, the benefits he could consume right away were the most tangible.

Green patterns emerged on his face, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a demon of the Transcendent God stage!

With such an identity, if he went to the Monster World, he would certainly command a territory, lord over the land, and influence the entire world’s development!

Accompanied by a deep incantation, the Three Holy Beast Armor appeared on Fang Xi’s body, with the phantoms of three major spiritual beasts swirling around him.

Fang Xi threw the Blood of Fire Kirin into the air and pointed at it with his finger!

Roar! Roar!

The phantoms of the Heavenly Phoenix, Crocodile, and Profound Turtle appeared, enveloping the Blood of Fire Kirin, rapidly refining it.

On Fang Xi’s body, red scales began to materialize over the previously repaired ’Three Holy Beast Armor’.

As time passed, earthy yellow, crimson, azure, and sky blue colors converged on the Thousands Demon Armor, eventually forming a pure white glow.

Along with Fang Xi’s chanting, runes started to faintly appear on the armor.

"The complete ’Four Holy Beasts Armor,’ finally achieved!"

Feeling the terrifying defensive power of the armor, Fang Xi was very satisfied in his heart.

...

The Nine States.

"Taoist Master!"

Master Ghost Axe bowed respectfully upon seeing Fang Xi’s arrival.

Fang Xi approached a floor-to-ceiling window and looked down to see a huge reactor.

Inside the reactor was a trio of constantly burning flames—fifth-stage Three Yang Holy Fire!

"Based on the data Taoist Master provided last time, we have made significant progress in deciphering the ’Samadhi True Fire’... With this fifth-stage fire, we will soon be able to produce a report."

Master Ghost Axe spoke with meticulous attention to detail, "So, what does the Taoist Master plan to do with this flame next? Do we use it as a new energy source, refine it into a seed of fire... or design it as a one-off weapon, with the power to eradicate a mid-stage Transcendent God Demon Clan member, though it might be a bit troublesome for the Monster Clan..."

"Let the second Nascent Soul refine it for now..."

Fang Xi spoke.

His second Nascent Soul, with the assistance of Demon Lord Chi Lian, was now also a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator on the Demon Path.

Moreover, his Six Demon Flames had previously engulfed the flames of the heavenly tribulation, thus becoming even more powerful.

Now, with the addition of this fifth-stage Spirit Fire, there probably wouldn’t be cultivators below the Earth Immortal Realm who could dare to withstand its lifeblood Demon Flames.

"Understood..."

Master Ghost Axe had no objection; after all, it was something that the Taoist Master personally brought back.

"And this item, take a look, Ghost Axe..."

Fang Xi handed over a crimson jade slip he got from Ancestor Huo to Master Ghost Axe with a smile.

Upon scanning it with his Divine Consciousness, Master Ghost Axe was immediately shocked by the many top-tier fire attribute materials, "So many top-rank fire attribute materials... Many of which may have already been extinct in the Lower Realm, we will need to find replacements... Five Fires Seven Birds Fan... An Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure? Unheard of, indeed unheard of..."

For this Grandmaster of Talisman forging, seeing the conception and craftsmanship of a top-tier supreme treasure was like a drunkard seeing fine wine, something he couldn’t bear to part with.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xi couldn’t help but smile slightly.

He liked dealing with people of pure character.

Of course, having a pure character didn’t mean they were easy to deceive, just that communication was somewhat easier.

He didn’t bring the grand army of the Nine States to subdue the Sacred Fire Sect mainly for his own safety.

Before having the strength to suppress everything, rashly opening the Door of Ten Thousand Worlds was not a wise decision.

Besides that, he had no intention of suppressing the Nascent Soul breakthroughs of Bai Mei and the others.

After all, once these great cultivators became Transcendent Gods, they would become even stronger arms and aids for him!

Fang Xi had promised to help three great cultivators reach Transcendent God status and did not do so lightly.

At least, when one of them was to become a Transcendent God in the future, he might lend the ’Fortune Worm’ to carry fortune, slightly improving the odds of a successful breakthrough...

’It’s just a pity... there is no Transcendent God foundation in the Sacred Fire Sect.’

As he thought of this, Fang Xi’s expression turned somewhat sullen.

Clearly, after the last grand battle, Ancestor Huo made corresponding preparations.

The Transcendent God foundation within the Sacred Fire Sect was most likely transferred earlier in the hopes of investing in an unparalleled genius who could survive Fang Xi’s downfall and restore the Daoist tradition!

But unfortunately, Fang Xi was determined to show them what true despair was!
