Chapter 831: Chapter 729: Sensing (Extra Chapter for Subscriptions)

"What?"

"How can this be..."

Guang Qianjian and Manager Zhou saw this scene and couldn’t help but bulge their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief.

"The two late-stage Returning to Emptiness demons from the Demon Clan are finished just like that?" Guang Qianjian murmured to himself.

"Even though these two demons had already been injured by the self-explosion of a sixth-grade flesh puppet crafted by Master Dongqiuzi, even a late-stage Returning to Emptiness cultivator might not be able to annihilate both demons, right?" Manager Zhou, after all, was a businessman with extensive knowledge. Looking at the Seven-Colored Feather Fan in Fang Xi’s hand, he speculated, "A replica of an Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure?!"

"To think it is a replica of an Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure, the method of crafting such treasures is extremely rare..."

Dongqiuzi stroked his beard and transmitted his voice to Fang Xi, "If Sir is willing to show the old man the design drawing of the fan, I am willing to gift a production drawing of a sixth-grade puppet..."

Having talked with him for some time, Dongqiuzi already knew that Mr. Fu was a Grandmaster of puppet skills and had a great desire for sixth-grade puppet techniques.

However, at this moment, Fang Xi didn’t respond but instead spat out six paths of Demon Flames.

The Divine Infant Sword thundered, shuttling through the void, forcing out a faint Demon Shadow.

"Trying to escape?"

He sneered and approached the tall, emaciated Demon Shadow, swinging the Five Fires Seven Birds Fan once again.

Spurt!

A seven-colored light wheel emerged, turning into sweeping flames.

The emaciated Demon Shadow produced a purple token, with talisman scripts shining on it, forming a defense.

Then, it was overwhelmed by the fan...

As Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy calmed down slightly, Fang Xi beckoned, and a damaged purple token treasure was collected into his hands.

"This Five Fires Seven Birds Fan is handy, but it consumes too much Magic Power..."

Fang Xi couldn’t help but look solemn, feeling that after only two swings, more than half of his Magic Power had been depleted.

"And... the spoils of war are few and far between..."

Fang Xi looked ahead at the empty space and couldn’t help but sigh again.

At this time, his expression was still somewhat surprised and doubtful.

After all, with his mastery in the Void, he could feel that although the double-winged demon girl of the Demon Clan was destroyed under the Five Fires Seven Birds Fan, it seemed that a hidden Demon Consciousness had still managed to escape.

’Still, it’s a Returning to Emptiness demon... with too many life-preserving tricks. But even if she escaped this time, she must be greatly weakened,’ Fang Xi thought.

He no longer paid attention and said to Dongqiuzi and the others, "Now that we have joined forces, let’s first slay this late-stage Returning to Emptiness demon..."

"Yes!" Manager Zhou and Guang Qianjian promptly complied, their attitude very humble.

In the Cultivation World, after all, strength was respected.

Originally, they thought Mr. Fu was only a sixth-grade Talisman Master, with cultivation only in the early stage of Returning to Emptiness.

But now it seemed like a huge mistake; not only was Mr. Fu’s Void Cultivation profound, but he also commanded a replica of an Immortal Talisman Rare Treasure, with combat power on par with late-stage Returning to Emptiness!

"Good!" Dongqiuzi also had the same thought, continuously manipulating his chessboard.

The sixth-grade Great Array changed again, exuding a deadly aura.

Boom!

Faintly, one could see a white Cosmic Dragon, a golden tower, and a jade-green ring besieging a tall Demon Shadow.

Chirp chirp!

Finally, after Fang Xi used the Five Fires Seven Birds Fan again, half of Mo Xuan’s Divine Demon body was destroyed by the Heavenly Phoenix flames.

This demon howled, with True Demon qi converging into a fierce one-horned cyan Demon head, opening its bloody mouth wide and swallowing a sixth-grade puppet.

Then, it was bombarded by several sixth-grade Returning to Emptiness treasures, and the Great Array eventually obliterated its demon soul...

Whoosh!

The four of them did not delay, cleaned up, and immediately boarded the Spirit Boat, leaving the area.

Whew, whew!

The wind howled, and Dongqiuzi, while collecting the remains of puppets on the deck, muttered to himself, "At a loss, at a loss, this time it’s a huge loss..."

This time he had lost a sixth-grade flesh puppet, a sixth-grade puppet, and many fifth-grade puppets.

Fang Xi felt sorry for the old man and tried not to be too harsh when divvying up the spoils, allowing Dongqiuzi to take the lion’s share of the treasures from Mo Xuan’s body.

Of course, the key was that the spoils from these three demons didn’t attract Fang Xi much.

At this time, Fang Xi held a round bead in his hand, pondering, "It seems... this object should be part of a set that can sense our Magic Power fluctuations..."

"This must be a magical tool recently developed by the Demon Clan... Reporting it to the human race should earn me some merit," Manager Zhou said with a smile, although he remained jovial, he now held a bit of caution towards ’Mr. Fu’.

That was to be expected, and Fang Xi didn’t mind it.

Then, he discussed with Guang Qianjian about distributing the two-headed Demon Flood Dragon.

This flood dragon was quite peculiar, possessing two sixth-grade Demon Pills!

After discussing with the two early to mid-stage Returning to Emptiness cultivators, Fang Xi directly took the Thunder Flood Dragon and left the corpse of the Wind Flood Dragon for the commerce association.

After all, both wind and thunder attributes were quite rare and precious, but strictly speaking, the thunder attribute flood dragon’s body was a bit more valuable.

In this competition, even Manager Zhou could only step back and make concessions.

The remnants of the other two great demons naturally all belonged to Fang Xi, although there wasn’t much left...

...

After obtaining the ’Demon Bead’, Fang Xi briefly contemplated it. He realized he couldn’t fathom its working principle in a short time, but based on the revealed properties, making some Arrays and Talismans to avoid detection wasn’t difficult.

Their journey henceforth was smooth sailing. Months later, they arrived at a certain location on the battlefield.

"This..."

Fang Xi looked into the Void, at the white, hazy Spatial Rifts, a hint of solemnity emerging on his face.

"These are the traces left behind by the great cultivators after a confrontation. The damage they have done to the Void is irreparable, even after millions of years..."

Manager Zhou’s expression also turned very serious as he maneuvered the Spirit Boat nimbly, dodging the numerous Spatial Rifts.

"You actually send people on missions to such places?"

Fang Xi thought about the source of the intelligence and couldn’t help but evaluate Guang Qianjian and the other two with a questioning look.

"Hehe... Any force at the Returning to Emptiness level always have some secrets, just like Mr. Fu, right?"

Master Dongqiuzi chuckled and did not speak plainly.

As they indeed had not pursued the origin of the replica of Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure on Fang Xi, he felt it would be unreasonable to continue pressing the matter.

"We must also be cautious of these Spatial Rifts; once one enters and gets lost within the Void, I’m afraid even an Integration cultivator would fall..."

Guang Qianjian spoke gravely.

Inside the Void, it was actually extremely dangerous.

Even though Transcendent God cultivators could travel straight to the Earth Immortal Realm through the Void Passage, the Space Time Turbulence and storms in the Earth Immortal Realm were much more terrifying than those in the Lower Realm!

The vastness of the Void is beyond imagination, filled with all sorts of dangers, and one might also get lost within the Void.

"If that piece of Void Fragment is too deep into the Void, we can only give up as well,"

Manager Zhou stated candidly.

Fang Xi nodded; he wasn’t set on obtaining the ’Dragon Blood Phoenix Marrow Flower’ at all costs.

The Spirit Boat flew swiftly and finally stopped at a certain location.

Whoosh!

With a flash of light in the Void, a bright yellow talisman appeared, falling into the hands of Manager Zhou.

"We’ve arrived. ’Steward Kuang’ caught a fleeting glimpse of the Spirit Medicine here back then..."

He muttered, gazing at a huge Void Crevice in front of him.

Fang Xi’s mouth twitched slightly as he approached the Void Crevice.

The crevice stretched a hundred feet wide and was more than ten thousand feet long, emitting white hazy radiance all over it.

Upon looking deeper, one would find that its interior seemed to conceal a cosmic star-space, with countless stars twinkling against the pitch-black backdrop, and even stars and black holes slowly rotating within...

"Mr. Fu, we will have to rely on you now."

Manager Zhou bowed solemnly.

Since discovering this place, the Moon Invitation Commerce Association had already made many attempts.

Unfortunately, whether it was Returning to Emptiness cultivators who had practiced Void Divine Power or any Treasure of Void, none could sense the exact Void Coordinates for that solitary drifting island.

Without coordinates, rushing into the Spatial Rifts isn’t a fun matter.

One might easily get lost in the Void if not careful.

"This old man will do his best..."

Fang Xi sighed and produced the ’Five Fires Seven Birds Fan’ in his hand.

Seeing this, Guang Qianjian couldn’t help but retreat several steps, while Manager Zhou’s pupils shrank.

"Gentlemen, there’s no need to be nervous. This old man only wishes to use a wisp of Heavenly Phoenix’s qi from this fan to enhance the sensing..."

Fang Xi coughed, and as long as he wasn’t the one embarrassed, others would be.

"Ha-ha, so that’s the case... Sir, the treasure you hold must have used a seventh-order Heavenly Phoenix feather, and an extremely important one at that, right?"

Dongqiuzi laughed, defusing the tension.

Regardless of the type of beast or bird, feathers and essence blood are not things that can be taken at will and regrown.

For birds, rare feathers are limited, and losing them might even damage their foundation.

Fang Xi gently swayed the feather fan.

Amidst the flickering of seven-colored radiance, a phantom of a Heavenly Phoenix emerged, spreading its wings as though to take flight.

Leveraging this wisp of qi, he cast forth a jade talisman engraved with silver Phoenix Seal Script into the Void Cracks.

After a moment, Fang Xi opened his eyes and sighed.

"How is it?"

Manager Zhou asked with a tense expression.

"It’s difficult to search momentarily; it seems we will need the aid of an array’s power..."

Fang Xi shook his head and patted his Storage Bag.

Several silver Array Flags appeared around him, and one after another, silver Phoenix Seals emerged.

He sat cross-legged in the center of the array, placed the Five Fires Seven Birds Fan on his lap, and closed his eyes.

"Oh?"

Dongqiuzi, upon seeing this silver array, his eyes suddenly lit up: "A pure Void array is indeed very rare... Mr. Fu’s mastery over arrays must surpass even mine, especially in the field of Void..."

"Master Dongqiuzi..."

Guang Qianjian’s eyes moved slightly, transmitting a question to him.

"Don’t think of doing anything untoward; even though Mr. Fu seems to be sensing, this array has the ability to enhance Void sensing as well as defensive and warning capabilities..."

Dongqiuzi calmly responded.

Under the gaze of this old man, whose eyes seemed innocent yet perceptive of the world’s ways, Guang Qianjian instantly sobered up, losing any mischievous thoughts.

Several hours later.

Fang Xi opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his face.

"It seems you’ve found something, sir?"

Dongqiuzi, who had been meditating and resting, opened his eyes, also showing a faint smile.
