Chapter 815: Chapter 722: Five Hundred Years In A Hurry
Ten years later.
Earth Immortal Realm, Sky Brahman City.
Inside the Dongfu.
Fang Xi was somewhat astonished, "I’ve waited for ten years, how come that ancestor from the Yu Family still hasn’t shown up?"
He was quite looking forward to the wealth of Integration cultivators.
But with ten years gone by, not only had the Yu Family made no move since the news of Yu Shusheng’s death spread, even the Winter Spring Business Group had been downsizing, looking like they were preparing to flee, leaving Fang Xi utterly speechless.
He had prepared for the Yu Family ancestor’s arrival, planning to covertly eliminate him during the investigation to prevent future trouble.
Was the Yu Family conceding and fleeing just like that?
After some thought, Fang Xi could only come up with a few reasons.
First, the Yu Family ancestor might have been entangled in other important affairs and simply couldn’t leave the Sword Realm.
Second, the Yu Family ancestor might have already passed away, leaving behind an empty shell of a family.
"But that doesn’t make sense either... With the death of a Returning to Emptiness cultivator, shouldn’t they at least send out another one to investigate?"
"If they’re giving up and exiting the scene without doing anything, there must be someone of high authority giving orders. Without Integration cultivation, they can’t keep the Yu Family’s Returning to Emptiness in check..."
"So, the third reason is most likely."
Fang Xi stroked his chin.
The third possibility was that the Yu Family ancestor had a side practice in the Skills of Divination or possessed some kind of Divine Skill or Treasure that could predict good and bad fortunes. He might have seen an Omen of Great Disasters and got scared into giving up and running away, even less likely to come to Sky Brahman Domain to seek death.
’Not bad for an old immortal who has lived for tens of thousands of years; there’s always some trick up his sleeve...’
Fang Xi felt a bit regretful.
Why couldn’t these enemies be like those from stories, coming one after another to deliver themselves to death?
With nobody coming to cause him trouble now, it was obviously impossible to receive a response using the Summoning Skills for his original self.
Therefore, he might as well honestly continue to nurture his various Treasures and Demon Fire, while also collecting materials and playing the role of a profiteer.
After becoming rich from his counter-killing, Fang Xi had realized something.
His own hard work in two-world trading wasn’t even as profitable as robbery and murder... Of course, this was also related to the fact that he was cautious and didn’t dare to trade on a too-large scale.
Suddenly, Fang Xi’s expression shifted as he sensed two Transcendent God level magic power fluctuations approaching rapidly.
And those two auras were very familiar to him.
In these ten years, Master Kuantao had occasionally visited him, even bringing a variety of exquisite Spiritual Delicacies, seemingly wishing to take advantage of Fang Xi’s influence.
Fairy Pu had often come with fresh Spiritual Tea to discuss cultivation over tea, lingering for months.
As for Yunxi and Liu Xu, they visited less frequently, but their friendship had not diminished at all.
Before long, two Escape Lights entered the Dongfu, and it was indeed Yunxi and Liu Xu.
"Sir Yunxi, Sir Liu Xu, it’s been many years since we’ve met, how have you been?"
Seeing this, Fang Xi couldn’t help but smile slightly.
He could see that the cultivation of both Yunxi and Liu Xu had improved greatly, their rate of advancement even surpassing that of Ghost Axe and Demon Exterminator, who had stayed in the Lower Realm.
In reality, when it came to innate talent and cleverness, these two women were still not as good as the venerable Ghost Axe and Demon Exterminator.
However, the environment was different, and so were their encounters.
For a Transcendent God cultivator, whether it was about cultivation or breaking through bottlenecks, it was somewhat easier in the Earth Immortal Realm than in the Lower Realm.
Not to mention, the two women had also caught the wave of the Great Wilderness Reclamation.
Although the missions were somewhat dangerous, the rewards were also very generous.
A good environment and ample resources... even if one started a little behind, they could quickly catch up and even surpass others.
"Congratulations, Yunxi,"
Fang Xi glanced at Fairy Yunxi and said with a smile, "With your cultivation, in a few hundred years, you should be able to challenge the Returning to Emptiness bottleneck..."
After all, they were Ascending Immortals, each of them a genius of their own realm.
With such prolonged cultivation, it’s quite normal to have a chance at striking at Returning to Emptiness.
Fairy Yunxi wore a wry smile upon hearing this, "Indeed, I am confident that I can reach the Perfect Transcendent God realm within a few hundred years. However, I truly have no confidence in breaking through to Returning to Emptiness..."
"Why worry so much, Sister Yunxi? With our combined efforts, the contributions we’ve accumulated over the years are sufficient to exchange for the use of a Spiritual Object or Crossing Tribulation Treasure that would aid in breaking the Returning to Emptiness bottleneck through our sect’s channels..."
Liu Xu added comfortingly, "When the time comes, with some additional expenditure of Spirit Stones, we may be able to acquire a Returning to Emptiness Spiritual Object at the grand auction, which would greatly increase our chances."
"Top-quality Spirit Stones don’t stand much chance against Returning to Emptiness Spiritual Objects... When the time comes, I can exchange some Immortal Jade for you,"
Fang Xi suggested after giving it some thought.
After all, having ascended from a minor realm, he had to look after them somewhat.
"Thank you, Sir,"
Yunxi and Liu Xu were overjoyed.
They had come today mainly to feel out the situation, as requesting such assistance for breaking through to Returning to Emptiness was something one could only comfortably ask of someone with whom they had a life-and-death friendship, with the risk of turning friendship into enmity if not careful.
Now that Fang Xi was willing to exchange a batch of Immortal Jade for them, it was a tremendous favor.
"Not just Yunxi, when it’s your turn to breakthrough, Liu Xu, I will do the same for you,"
Fang Xi, playing his role to the hilt, promised generously.
"Thank you, Sir. With this, I at least have some assurance in breaking through to Returning to Emptiness,"
Fairy Yunxi said with a smile.
The three of them talked cheerfully, with Fang Xi discussing some cultivation insights and giving a few pointers, which greatly pleased the two women, who thanked him and took their leave.
As he watched the two women’s departing Escape Lights, his eyes revealed a contemplative look, "It seems that these two women must have secured some kind of opportunity and had some assurance about breaking through to Returning to Emptiness; that’s why they started to plan for it so early..."
This was revealed to Fang Xi through some unintentional slips during their conversation about cultivation.
