Chapter 857: Chapter 743: Expedition

"It’s a pity... such a battle array only possesses the power of Integration and is indeed rather clumsy in pursuing enemies... It’s only suitable for large-scale cultivation wars."

Fang Xi mused in silence, continuing to listen as the Great Elder methodically arranged various matters.

After clarifying all the miscellaneous affairs, Fairy Shi finally spoke up, "I truly find it hard to believe that our human race’s ’Thirty-Six Celestial Northern Dipper Array,’ a quasi-ninth rank Immortal Array, with two of the Five Sons and a Mahayana Individual Immortal holding the fort, could be defeated so easily? And even... be defeated so miserably?"

Hearing her words, many Returning to Emptiness monks couldn’t help but look towards the Great Elder.

The Great Elder coughed and said with a wry smile, "As for the details of this matter, I also don’t know much... but it must be related to that newly advanced True Spirit Phoenix... We all know that there are no early, middle, or late phases in Mahayana; once one enters Mahayana, it’s only a matter of how one’s Divine Skills and Magic Power compare... And a quasi-ninth rank Immortal Array, after all, is not a ninth rank, still within the eighth rank..."

"Could it be that the newly advanced True Spirit Phoenix has astounding Divine Skills, so much so that it could compare to the very top of the eight tribulation Mahayana?"

Among Mahayana monks, the most profoundly cultivated are those who have crossed eight tribulations.

Because the ninth tribulation is the Immortal Calamity!

Either one transcends it to ascend to the True Immortal Realm, or one is turned to ashes...

Among the human race, demons, and demon clans, the most supreme geniuses are those who, upon entering the Mahayana Period, can compare to veteran Mahayana monks!

"After that battle, the whereabouts of the Primeval Great Saint and Mr. Che from our clan remain unknown to anyone..."

The Great Elder concluded at last.

However, Fang Xi knew that this person’s guess was wrong.

The Primeval Great Saint was far from someone who could compete with veteran Mahayana monks in Magic just by entering Mahayana; Fang Immortal Taoist Master might be closer to the mark.

His main advantage was relying on the Phoenix Essence Nirvana Skills to postpone his Mahayana Immortal Thunder Tribulation for some time.

In terms of talent, he was somewhat lacking compared to other Mahayana monks and did not truly possess the qualifications for Mahayana.

His ability to heavily defeat the human race this time was most likely because he unlocked a tribulation avoidance Secret Skill during the battle with Mr. Che, fighting to the death and expiring together with Mr. Che and the Quasi-Immortal Array.

But these matters involved the secret teachings of the seventh rank Azure Luan and thus were not suitable to be discussed openly.

After the gathering in Mingyue Palace dispersed, Fang Xi found Fairy Shi, "Shi... for this Array set-up, I shall follow your lead."

Fairy Shi smiled gracefully, "Friend Wang, there is no need for such modesty. Just considering your Array Talisman during the last escape, it is clear that your achievement in Arrays is far above mine..."

In secret, however, she transmitted her voice, "No matter what, after this great defeat, the human territories will surely be in chaos. With Moon Invitation Immortal City’s ambitions growing, seeking trouble with the Sky Demon Association is a possibility. It’s good to stay out of it if you can..."

Fang Xi agreed deeply.

Upon returning to his Dongfu on Lake Heart Island, he found that the members of the Wang family who had visited earlier were still there.

"Pass this letter to Wang Lingying..."

Fang Xi waved his hand, tossing out a jade slip.

It detailed the recent drastic changes in the human race, and of course, he attributed all the sources of the information to the upper echelons of Moon Invitation Immortal City.

Presumably, Wang Lingying would make the right choice.

Judging by this Wang family member’s performance during the last opening of an overseas Immortal Mansion, he certainly knew how to protect himself wisely; no need for too much worry there.

...

Sky Brahman City.

Throughout the streets and alleys, the topic of discussion among many cultivators was also about the matters of the Monster Clan.

"Geographically speaking, Sky Brahman Domain is quite far from Three Realms Mountain, so as long as we guard the Super Teleportation Array, there shouldn’t be any major issues..."

"Of course, that’s true for ordinary pioneering cultivators. As for the Sky Brahman Army, it’s likely that they’ll still need to enter the battlefield later."

Fang Xi was plotting to sell all the resources and spoils of war he had on hand in exchange for Immortal Jade to foster the growth of his true form in the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm.

After all, a great war was approaching, and every ounce of strength was extremely important.

"Although my true self can hide back in the Mortal Realm and wouldn’t be affected even if the situation deteriorates, I still want to exact revenge. At the very least, I should seek opportunities within the conflict with the Monster Clan..."

The Externalization, although cultivating the ’Self-Transforming Heavenly Sovereign Commanding Ten Thousand Spirits True Demon Skill,’ seemed to be making rapid progress but had issues as well.

For instance... as an Externalization, it’s necessary for the true self to break through a realm before the next realm becomes bottleneck-free for him.

Otherwise, if the cultivation advances too quickly, it can easily lead to cultivation deviation.

To illustrate with an example, if you give a Transcendent God Demon Cultivator practicing the Self-transforming Demon True Skills a Returning to Emptiness Demon Cultivator puppet that cannot resist, his cultivation could indeed skyrocket, but if he can’t suppress his internal greed and continuously breaks through realms without restraint, the outcome might not be so good.

At this moment, observing the atmosphere in the city growing increasingly tense, Fang Xi transformed into a streak of dark demonic light, left Sky Brahman City, and returned to Penglai Fairy Pavilion.

Penglai Fairy Pavilion was located in the wilderness, easily accessible and convenient to deal with any situations that may arise.

When Fang Xi arrived, he discovered that the place had indeed activated all its Arrays, apparently in receipt of some news.

However, since he was considered one of their own, Shui Lingxin directly opened the Array, allowing Fang Xi to enter.

"Sigh... with the current situation, it’s really hard to know what to say," said Fairy Yunxi, manifesting her body and giving Fang Xi a wry smile.

"We shall see what actions the Mahayana Individual Immortals and the Five Sons of Human Race take..."

Fang Xi was actually quite curious about the real situation of the battle, such as whether Jin Gangzi and Changqingzi died in Juetian City that day...

However, at this time, it was better to remain calm and patient.

After all, he had plenty of patience, and waiting a few years or even decades, everything would naturally become clear.

...

Years quickly passed by.
