Chapter 652: Chapter 640: Mother Qi of All Woods_4

Not long after she sighed, the Floating City sailed past those Void Crevices.

Crack!

Countless Spatial Rifts were directly shattered, turning into endless turbulent flows, and yet the silver Phoenix Seal Script that flickered around Mechanism City remained unscathed!

"Hehe... the ancient battles of Transcendent Gods..."

Fang Xi smiled and shook his head.

"Sir, what is your esteemed opinion?"

Fairy Yunxi asked with bright eyes.

"When we Transcendent God cultivators clash, turning hundreds or thousands of miles into scorched earth is easy... but to reduce the Central Region to such a state, and even form prohibitions that last for ten thousand years, is simply impossible..."

"This place... must be a Returning to Emptiness battlefield! The so-called battles of Transcendent Gods are mere exaggerations passed down."

Fang Xi stated with certainty.

"Returning to Emptiness?!"

Fairy Yunxi looked slightly surprised: "Perfect Transcendent Gods should ascend to a Higher Realm, how could there be cultivators of Returning to Emptiness in the Mortal World? Such cultivators... should be repelled as soon as they appear..."

"Returning to Emptiness may be so, but when Immortal Cultivators practice to such heights, they can turn the impossible into the possible..."

"With treasures and talismans that hide their auras, or conceal their bodies, descending to a lower realm while being of Returning to Emptiness, is entirely possible..."

Fang Xi replied indifferently.

But why would such great powers descend to a mere minor realm?

Fairy Yunxi gently bit her red lips: "Could it be that there is something they need in the Mortal Realm?"

"Of course, the expense of descending from Returning to Emptiness is more difficult than cultivating ten cultivators of Returning to Emptiness... With such a cost, they naturally have something they seek."

Fang Xi smiled faintly.

He could guess that those great cultivators of Returning to Emptiness descending into this world were surely aimed at the ancestor of Green Emperor Mountain.

And that banished celestial being who originally stirred up storms, later had to retreat in seclusion without emerging, indifferent even to the destruction of Green Emperor Mountain. By all indications, he must also be in a bad state, perhaps already having undergone Sitting and Transforming...

Fang Xi’s hands flashed with green light, and the Green Leaf bestowed by the Array Spirit White Deer emerged.

The green leaf, with patterns radiating radiance, suddenly grew to the size of a palm, vibrant and dripping with vitality, transforming into a stream of green light, leading the way ahead.

Fang Xi navigated the Nine States Mechanism City, unconcerned with the dangers of the Central Region.

Whether it was those Spatial Rifts, strange beasts, or harsh environments... under the might of the Nine States Mechanism City, they were as insignificant as ants.

To them, it was itself the greatest danger!

Finally...

The green leaf came to a stop over a pitch-black land and ceased moving.

Fang Xi’s Divine Consciousness swept over a thousand-mile radius, detecting no anomalies.

However, at that moment, the green leaf suddenly emitted a burst of green light.

As if drawn by some inexplicable pull, a part of the Void opened, revealing a Phantom of a lush, large tree inside.

The green leaf, be it in its material or patterns... was identical to that giant tree.

Streams of vibrant, dark green Vitality emanated from that Void entrance.

An aging cultivator couldn’t help but take a deep breath of such fragrant spiritual energy, then, surprised, touched his face: "I feel... my lifespan has increased!"

The next moment, exclamations of joy from numerous cultivators rose one after another: "Me too!"

"What kind of aura is this? Just one breath seems to rival a third-grade Longevity Elixir!"

For many cultivators nearing the end of their lifespans, Longevity Elixirs were far more precious than other elixirs, even beyond breakthrough elixirs.

After all, breaking through still carried the potential for failure, while with Longevity Elixirs, as long as they were effective, one’s lifespan would be immediately extended.

Upon witnessing this scene, Fang Xi snorted coldly: "All cultivators on our side, halt your breath and concentrate your minds immediately, do not leave the Mechanism City even for a step..."

"Taoist Master, this..."

A Nascent Soul cultivator looked longingly at the lifespan energy within reach outside, his face full of reluctance, but he dared not retort.

Ghost Axe appeared contemplative as he looked at this green spiritual energy.

The next moment, those who had been shouting joyously, greedily absorbing the green spiritual energy, had transformed from ancient figures into youth with faces like jade.

But at this time, a look of horror crept onto his face, as he saw his arms becoming withered and emaciated, like dry wood.

Moreover, on the parched wood, green sprouts were struggling to emerge.

Crack, crack... his joints emitted the mournful creaks of being unable to bear the weight, his feet sprouted roots, and he turned into a wooden figure!

"There’s no mistake, this is... ’Mother Qi of All Woods’! It seems we’re indeed in the so-called ’Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm’."

Fang Xi took a deep breath in and let out a long sigh.
