Chapter 823: Chapter 725: Mid-Stage of Returning to Emptiness_3

Wherever it passed, there was an abundance of vitality.

Countless Mother Qi of All Woods burst forth, causing the surroundings of the Spirit Realm to sizzle...

The seventh and eighth thunderbolts in mid-air were engulfed by the cyan-hued ocean and disappeared without a trace...

"Not bad, not bad... The Mixed Origin Heavenly Umbrella is only of the sixth rank, and it’s difficult to advance..."

"But with the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm, even facing the Major Heavenly Tribulation that accompanies breaking through to Integration, one should possess the strength to fight."

Fang Xi nodded his approval repeatedly.

The Mixed Origin Heavenly Umbrella, being of limited grade, might at most be useful when breaking through to the later stages of Returning to Emptiness.

Once he reached the perfection stage of Returning to Emptiness and challenged the great bottleneck of Integration, it would almost become useless—a single heavenly thunderbolt could reduce it to ashes.

By comparison, the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm could be continuously upgraded.

By the time he reached the perfection stage of Returning to Emptiness, it would inevitably be the main force to contend with the heavenly tribulations!

Boom!

Above the sky, all the dark clouds were rapidly condensing, forming an area of ten acres.

This seemed to be an augmentation of its power, implying that the final thunderbolt would be extraordinary.

At this moment, however, Fang Xi did something incredible.

He actively withdrew the Mixed Origin Heavenly Umbrella and also retracted the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm.

"My ’True Body of Sky Demon’ has long been yearning for this."

Fang Xi sneered.

Through prolonged observation, he felt that his ’True Body of Sky Demon’ could withstand this kind of lightning.

What’s more, with the protection of the ’Eternal Green Body’, even if he were seriously injured, as long as there was a breath left in him, he could quickly recover.

Thus, he naturally had nothing to fear and was even eager to give it a try.

His muscles bulged instantaneously, emitting a jade-like luster.

At the same time, a layer of four-colored armor emerged on his body, fitting perfectly with the True Body of Sky Demon.

——Thousands Demon Armor Secret Skills!

The True Body of Sky Demon was originally an advanced version of the Thousands Demon Armor Secret Skills. Now, the fusion of the two revealed boundless mysteries.

Cheep cheep!

Accompanied by the long cries of a phoenix and the furious roar of a kylin.

The phantoms of the Four Great Spirits appeared, turning into a four-colored light screen that covered the sky.

The ninth heavenly tribulation hadn’t even fallen yet but was already significantly weakened.

The Thousands Demon Armor Secret Skills were also a marvelous method for crossing tribulations!

Fang Xi always valued his own life greatly and spared no effort in collecting and practicing secret skills to transcend tribulations.

Boom!

The thunder quaked.

The golden heavenly tribulation fiercely broke through the phantoms of the Four Great Spirits, though its size was halved, and then it crashed down directly.

"Hah!"

Fang Xi clenched his fists, roared angrily, and swung his punch skyward.

Bang!

Upon contact with his fist, the thunderbolt left him with a numb feeling, and then a terrifying Giant Strength smashed him into the depths of the earth!

After the heavenly tribulation passed, the dark clouds dispersed, there were trickles of sweet rain falling.

Whoosh!

A figure leaped out of the giant pit, and aside from his armor and clothing being shattered, revealing his smooth skin, he seemed to have suffered little damage.

"Heavenly Thunder Essence Qi..."

Fang Xi opened his mouth, taking a deep breath.

He inhaled like the eye of a storm, sweeping up all the sweet rainwater, and then let out a satisfied burp.

"This ’True Body of Sky Demon’, I’ve only achieved Small Accomplishments recently, but the strength of my body can already compare to a cultivator at the late stage of Returning to Emptiness, right?"

"Who knows when I’ll truly reach a major achievement and make my body comparable to Integration Period monster beasts!"

Fang Xi muttered to himself.

With a thought, a layer of Wood Spiritual Force appeared, turning into a green robe to cover his body, and then he looked around.

The Little Mysterious Turtle flew towards him, speaking candidly, "Master... Little Turtle has killed many, many..."

"Hmm?"

A sweep of Fang Xi’s Divine Consciousness left him with a feeling of bemusement.

It turned out that around the swampage, numerous low-level monster beasts and even common fish were slaughtered by the Little Mysterious Turtle...

It was clear that it took the task seriously, though somewhat rigidly...

"Good job, when I return, I’ll reward you with a sixth-grade Qi Blood Pill!"

Fang Xi petted the Little Mysterious Turtle’s head, smiling.

"Yay!"

The Little Mysterious Turtle immediately grew so excited it looked as if it was going to jump for joy, much like a child...

...

Fang Xi’s Alchemy Skill was now of the sixth rank as well.

After five hundred years of continuous research, he derived a Pill Recipe for Qi Blood Pills, suitable for cultivators and monster beasts at the level of Returning to Emptiness to supplement their Qi and blood.

The rapid progress of his ’True Body of Sky Demon’ was largely related to his regular consumption of sixth-grade Body Refining Pills.

The Little Mysterious Turtle was very fond of them, seeing them as an upgraded version of ’True Blood Pills’ that were like candy.

Unfortunately, sixth-grade pills were incredibly precious, and even Fang Xi couldn’t take them regularly.

As for the Little Mysterious Turtle, it could only occasionally partake of his leftovers.

Each time it obtained one, it was delighted as if it were celebrating New Year’s.

Using the Turtle Breath Secret Skills, Fang Xi continued to maintain the early-stage cultivation of Returning to Emptiness and discreetly returned to the Moon Invitation Immortal City.

With the breakthrough of his cultivation, he was in high spirits and immediately summoned dancers reared by the Wang family to wildly celebrate for several months...

...

Moon Invitation Commerce Association.

The background of this commerce association was the Moon Invitation Immortal City, making it the top, immense commerce association in the vicinity.

Its business even extended to several neighboring domains, having far-reaching connections and an extensive network.

One day.

A white-haired old man with a scar on his face, and an intimidating presence, arrived at the doors of the Moon Invitation Commerce Association.

Seeing this man, the two Core Formation cultivators guarding the entrance changed their expressions, quickly showing a desire to please: "Mr. Fu has arrived? Please go straight to the VIP hall... The chief steward has orders that as soon as you come, he must be notified immediately..."

"Lead the way," Fang Xi commanded coldly, his hands behind his back.

This ’Mr. Fu’, of course, was a false identity he used for fencing goods.
