Chapter 885: Chapter 756: Falling Sky Island (Extra Release for Monthly Pass)

Falling Sky Island.

This place was located in the Void, where looking up revealed nothing but the vast and dark cosmos, akin to a starry sky.

On the ground grew some pitch-black grass, its blades dotted with twinkling lights.

In the Void, a silver ripple flashed.

Invisible ripples began to form.

Then, the silhouette of a person riding a giant turtle slowly arrived on this stretch of land.

"The dangers of the Void are indeed terrifying," Fang Xi thought of the last Void Storm he encountered, still with a trace of fear.

Even though his understanding of the Void Laws was profound, without using the Treasures of All Heavens, he could only drift along with the flow.

At the end, during a fierce Void Storm, he had to separate from Shi Xianzi.

But according to Fang Xi’s judgment, that place was already very close to Falling Sky Island.

With Shi Xianzi’s cultivation and magical treasures, landing safely wouldn’t be a problem.

"One cannot fly high on Falling Sky Island... once you do, you’re sure to face numerous Space Time Turbulence and storms!"

Fang Xi probed briefly with his Divine Consciousness, gaining a bit of understanding of Falling Sky Island’s environment.

Suddenly, his eyebrows twitched.

Hundreds of miles away, a member of the Two-Headed Barbarian Tribe, towering over ten feet tall, clad in an animal skin skirt, and wielding a strange club, was combating a gigantic earthy-yellow lizard.

The earthy-yellow lizard’s body was covered with scales, and with every roar, earthy-yellow spikes emerged from the ground.

The Two-Headed Barbarian had a human-like form, with a ghastly green skin that felt rugged. On its shoulders were two heads.

At that moment, one head was chanting incantations, and a layer of crimson barrier appeared in front of it, blocking the earth spikes.

The other head muttered words as the pitch-black club in its hands suddenly flew out.

Boom!

It swelled up in midair, transforming into a giant pillar that crashed down!

A large hole appeared on the ground.

In the pit, the head of that earthy-yellow lizard was visibly shattered.

Both heads of the Two-Headed Barbarian cheered, retracting the club, grabbing the prey with both hands, and shouldering it, they started the return journey.

Moments later.

Where the ground had been indented, Fang Xi’s figure emerged with a flash of light.

"Two-Headed Barbarian Tribe?"

He gazed at the retreating figure of the strange creature, formed a hand seal with one hand, and a layer of hazy blue light appeared, continuing to conceal his form as he silently followed.

"Who would have thought that there would still be Two-Headed Barbarian Tribe traces here..."

Fang Xi muttered to himself.

The Two-Headed Barbarian Tribe was one of the native races of the Earth Immortal Realm, whose territory had once bordered the Monster Clan. Then there was no more ’then’...

He had only seen pictures and summaries of this race in documents describing the Earth Immortal Realm, according to the final lines, this race should have been completely annihilated by the Monster Clan.

Yet unexpectedly, there was still one here!

And judging by its aura, it should be roughly at the Core Formation Stage.

The Two-Headed Barbarian Tribe took large strides that seemed to shrink the ground beneath them, moving as fast as a Cultivator’s Escape Light.

It didn’t take long to reach a gathering spot.

Fang Xi, who followed closely behind, was a bit stunned at the first sight of this gathering place.

Because this place was genuinely chaotic!

From the makeshift animal skin tents of the barbarians, to the elegantly constructed Dongfu of Human Cultivators, to the Demon Clan’s Sky Demon palaces, the Monster Clan’s various lairs, and all sorts of other haphazard buildings, they were all piled together, creating a unique style of chaos.

"Human race, Monster Clan, Demon Clan..."

His eyes flickering, he saw in the nearby Spiritual Field a Spirit Plant Farmer of the human race working hard.

By their side was surprisingly a Monster Clan ox assisting.

Not far from a stall, a sinister-looking Demon Clan member dressed in black armor was shouting loudly.

Around their stall gathered numerous Alien races.

There were not only the previously seen Two-Headed Barbarian Tribe members but also Wing Clan Members with wings, and Water clan cultivators whose bodies were like flowing water.

Though most had auras fluctuating between Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, and Nascent Soul, the scene still gave Fang Xi the impression he had entered a Hundred Tribe Museum.

"Since when can cultivators of the three races meet without coming to blows?"

"Besides, there are so many barbaric races here."

After observing for a while, Fang Xi revealed his form, still in the guise of the Wang Family Ancestor, with the Little Mysterious Turtle having been stored in the Spirit Beast Bag much earlier.

Now holding a string of prayer beads, he leisurely walked into the gathering point.

"It appears to be a sixth-tier being!"

A deep and resonant voice spoke up.

Fang Xi looked down and saw that beneath his feet, a huge face had appeared on the very ground he was standing.

"It turns out to be an Earth Race member!"

He knew this ’Earth Race’ was similar to an Earth Spirit Incarnation, often of immense size and most fond of finding a land rich in Earth Spiritual Power to slumber.

He hadn’t expected to be standing right on top of one.

"Hmm... it was not easy for you to cultivate to the early stage of the Transcendent God at the fifth level. I wonder why you are stopping me?"

Although the language used by this Earth Race member was somewhat obscure, Fang Xi still understood.

After all, as a Cultivator in the Return to Emptiness, he had studied the languages of various races.

The language used by this Earth Race member was surprisingly the Demon language of the Monster Clan!

"The elder flatters me..." Fang Xi said modestly.

The immense face on the ground smiled, "My name is ’Kun Di,’ I am the guardian of this gathering place... Please, elder, abide by the rules established by the high-level beings to avoid disturbing the order here..."

"So there is a covenant established by the high-level beings of various races?" Fang Xi was somewhat surprised. "I am a cultivator who only recently joined this place!"

"Ah, so you’re a cultivator from outside!"

Kun Di opened his mouth, expelling a yellow-brown sphere, "Please have a look, elder; then you will understand everything."

"Hmm..."

Fang Xi appreciated the man’s awareness of what was appropriate and couldn’t help but ask, "When the passage opened before, why didn’t you go to the Earth Immortal Realm?"

"The Earth Immortal Realm? This place is Kun Di’s home, why would I leave?"

A look of confusion appeared on Kun Di’s face.

Without saying more, Fang Xi sent a strand of Divine Consciousness into the yellow-brown sphere.

Indeed, the object was like a jade slip, engraved with much information.

Soon, he gained some understanding of Falling Sky Island.

"Falling Sky Island, as a place in the Void, spans a vast domain... Since ancient times, some beings from the human race, Demon Clan, and even Alien races have entered, both voluntarily and involuntarily, becoming trapped within..."

After all, some cultivators at the Core Formation Stage or Nascent Soul Stage, even if they survive until the passage opens, do not possess the strength to pass through the Void Passage.

Some high-level cultivators chose to leave, but others grew fond of Falling Sky Island’s unique environment and resources, and the carefree existence it offered, thus deciding to stay.

On Falling Sky Island, the human, demon, and monster races do not engage in combat upon meeting but live peacefully alongside other Alien races.

While private feuds and killings surely existed, large-scale racial wars were unlikely to occur.

Moreover, on Falling Sky Island, one can still cultivate and break through boundaries!

Within the island’s largest black market, it is said that there is a guardian at the seventh-rank Integration Level, known as the ’Lord of the Black Market’!

"How interesting..." Fang Xi pocketed the yellow-brown sphere and said to Kun Di, "Rest assured, although I am an outsider, I do not mind following the rules..."

As he entered the gathering place, he found it even more chaotic than it had appeared from a distance.

The architecture of various Alien races in particular gave him a feeling of having his eyes opened wide, broadening his horizons.

"Elder, do any items on my stall catch your eye?"

Fang Xi stopped in front of a stall.

The stall owner had almond-shaped eyes and rosy cheeks, indeed a great beauty.

If only she didn’t have just the head of a beautiful woman, that would have been even better.

Her body was that of a giant serpent, resembling a beautiful snake lady, rather daunting to behold.

’I’m actually more interested in you, a member of the Wa Tribe...’ Fang Xi thought to himself.

However, on the stall of this member of the Wa Tribe, there indeed were several Spirit Medicines he had never seen before, which caught his eye.

"This plant, and this one..." He picked up a Spirit Medicine shaped like a coiled snake and asked, "I wonder what the price is, and whether bartering is acceptable?"

"Of course, bartering is accepted. If the elder has pills that suit me for advancement in cultivation or top-quality Spirit Stones, both can be exchanged!" responded the Wa Tribe member with a smile.

"Hmm."

Fang Xi nodded, hearing that top-quality Spirit Stones were accepted, he felt more confident.

After further inquiry, he found that within Falling Sky Island, the price of top-quality Spirit Stones seemed to be even higher.

After all, one top-quality Spirit Stone could cultivate a small Spiritual Vein, which was quite useful for low-level cultivators.

"What is the name of this herb?" he asked, pointing to the snake-shaped Spirit Medicine in his hand.

"This is Heavenly Wa Grass... it requires us members of the Wa Tribe and our unique Secret Skills to cultivate; it’s not strange that the elder has never seen it before," the Wa Tribe member replied with a beaming smile.

Looking just at her face, she was indeed a beauty capable of causing the downfall of cities, but when combined with her body, it was somewhat chilling.

"I see." Fang Xi nodded and completed the transaction with top-quality Spirit Stones.

Then, in this seemingly simple stall area, he managed to exchange for dozens of Spirit Medicines he had never heard of or seen, which exhilarated him.

Beyond that, the Secret Skills and cultivation techniques of those Alien races, though mostly inapplicable to him, still broadened his horizons.

Not to mention, some inheritances related to Talisman and Arrays actually had common ground and could be comprehended.

Through analogical thinking, perhaps his Array and Taoist of Talisman Skills might advance further.

"This place... is indeed a treasure trove!"

"Just these many Spirit Plants... should be enough to enable the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm to grow again..."

"Perhaps... I should find a place for seclusion first, to break through to the late stage of Returning to Emptiness."

Fang Xi left the gathering place with a look of excitement on his face.

He was holding a black jade slip, which displayed a rough map of the whole Falling Sky Island.

The most important part, naturally, was the location of the central black market!

"If even a small gathering spot yields such gains, the biggest black market must be even richer in resources..."

"And if Shi Xianzi, Jianzi, and others are safe, they will surely make their way to the black market too."

A glint of determination shone in Fang Xi’s eyes.
