Chapter 775: Chapter 701: He Transforms Everything_3

By the time I accepted the Earth Immortal Heritage and achieved Returning to Emptiness, such things became irrelevant.

For those at the Returning to Emptiness level, all paths of Cultivation merge into one, and the constraints of one’s Spiritual Root talent nearly vanish.

Furthermore, the Cultivation of an Earth Immortal is solely related to the Spirit Realm and has little to do with one’s original Spiritual Root talent.

It could be said that after Returning to Emptiness, except for the few rumored Immortal Grade Spiritual Roots and Special Immortal Bodies, talent constraints for Cultivators almost completely disappear.

Of course, before Returning to Emptiness—especially during the Qi Refining to Nascent Soul stages—the talent of one’s Spiritual Root remains an important criterion for selecting outstanding disciples.

Zhou Jun must have had an Earth Grade or Heaven Grade talent to become a Nascent Soul.

Perhaps he even possessed a Spirit Body, but looking at Xiao Chong from either side, Fang Xi did not sense any extraordinary brilliance; it probably just ... happened to be a matter of affinity!

Affinity—or to be precise, love at first sight—is a very peculiar thing indeed.

"No, Grandpa Zhou, this talisman is so useful. Xiao Chong still wants to come out and play more..."

Xiao Chong said with a look of panic on his face.

"Ah..."

Zhou Jun sighed.

But Fang Xi knew that with Nascent Soul Divine Consciousness, Zhou Jun could absolutely ensure that Xiao Chong would not get into any trouble nearby, so this was purely teasing a child.

Besides, he couldn’t recognize me at all.

Although this person had met ’Captain Fang Xi’, Fang Xi’s appearance had been changed through a disguise and was no longer the same.

Once Zhou Jun finished playing with Xiao Chong, the reluctant child returned to his room.

But Zhou Jun then spoke with implied meaning, "The family of Mr. Liang has not had an easy life..."

"Oh? I’ve recently moved here and don’t know much about my neighbors. I’d like to hear more," Fang Xi said with interest.

Zhou Jun sighed. "Low-level Cultivators who were relocated to colonize the borderlands either committed serious errors and were sentenced to ’exile,’ or they were simply caught in the crossfire when their Sects and Families fell. To prevent their enemies from relentlessly pursuing them, they had ’voluntarily’ registered to reclaim the wilds..."

For Cultivators, once they become enemies, they would certainly aim to eradicate each other completely.

Fortunately, there are still some rules in the Earth Immortal Realm. For example, if one volunteers for land reclamation, then their former enemies cannot obstruct or chase them to kill.

This decree comes from the upper echelons of the human race; ordinary Sects dare not defy it.

Moreover...

Low-level Cultivators simply lack the ability to cross from one domain to another, so there’s no need to worry they could come back seeking revenge.

Even if there are exceptionally talented Cultivators among the surviving descendants, that would be an issue hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years in the future... The promotion of a Cultivator’s realm is exceedingly difficult to overcome. Even for extraordinary geniuses, they must still proceed step by step without any slack.

For the upper echelons of the human race, just by issuing a decree, they continuously garner cannon fodder to fill the borders and clear the wilderness, killing two birds with one stone.

The life and death of this cannon fodder are not of too much concern to them.

After all, most Cultivators are very independent; those who survive are the reclamation Cultivators the upper echelons truly want.

"Ah... The family of Mr. Liang were originally disciples of a small Sect in the Flame Fire Domain. Alas, their Sect waged war with a hostile force, her husband perished in the battle, and the Sect was defeated... To survive, they had no choice but to accept the reclamation task and become reclamation Cultivators, only to encounter this..."

Zhou Jun sighed again. "We could only struggle our entire lives within the Sky Brahman Domain, and even with the passing of generations, it’s extremely unlikely that we could ever return to the human race’s territories..."

In his words, there was an endless sense of desolation.

"Ah... Perhaps those high-ranking officers of the Sky Brahman Army are working on connecting the Super Teleportation Array, and support will arrive soon..."

Fang Xi couldn’t help offering some consolation.

"Heh..."

Zhou Jun scoffed several times. "The high-ranking officers of the Sky Brahman Army? The perception of time for high-level Cultivators is different from ours... For those Returning to Emptiness or even Integration stage Cultivators, decades or even a hundred years are but a momentary flick. But for ordinary people and even low-level Cultivators, that could be their entire lifetimes! By the time those big shots remember us, perhaps Xiao Chong will have already become a grandfather..."

The vitality of the human race is unfathomably strong.

And Cultivators, even more so!

Fang Xi believed that, even without any external forces’ influence, millions of years later, there would still be members of the human race bravely living on this wild land!

It’s just that it’s uncertain whether by that time they would have devolved into savages that eat raw meat and drink blood, or if they would have turned this place into another joyful land for humanity.

...

’This person... seems to be probing me, and also offering a warning?’

Watching Zhou Jun walk away, Fang Xi sneered and returned to his Dongfu.

After closing the door of the Dongfu, a Prohibition immediately appeared.

With his skill in Arrays, even a casually set one was enough to fend off the prying of Nascent Soul and even Transcendent God Cultivators.

In the Divine Thought of these Cultivators, this Dongfu was nothing special but an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator’s abode, with nothing suspicious in the slightest.

"The situation is unclear at the moment, waiting a bit longer won’t do much harm... But..."

Fang Xi removed a Spirit Beast Bag from his waist and tossed it casually.

A ring of azure radiance emerged, like a doorway of light.

A girl in azure feathered clothes floated out from the light doorway. With a decorative plume on her forehead and a slight resentment in her eyes, she looked at Fang Xi, "Master has finally remembered Xiao Qing..."

As a Rank Five Transcendent God stage Monster Cultivator, Xiao Qing’s strength was not inferior to the Transcendent God rank officers of the Sky Brahman Army.

It’s just a pity that the enemies Fang Xi faced were either too weak, not needing Xiao Qing’s intervention, or too strong—whether they were Primordial Chaos Beasts or Major Heavenly Tribulation, this mere Rank Five Azure Luan was of little help.
