Chapter 907: Chapter 769 The Three Flowers Immortal Array (Seeking monthly votes at the beginning of the month)

’It seems that the Divine Calculator really was trapped, unable to significantly affect the outside world, it’s not a pretense.’

Seeing the Divine Calculator’s servile attitude, Fang Xi was fairly certain that the Divine Calculator was indeed trapped by the prohibitions of the Immortal Mansion and could not unleash powerful spells.

"Why would the senior demean himself like this, with such petty advantages compared to the greater good of the human race, what do they really amount to?"

Fang Xi spoke with a sense of righteousness, "If the senior is trapped, it is natural that I do my best to rescue you, but for the senior, who is known as the Divine Calculator, to be plotted against to this extent is truly unexpected..."

The face of the Divine Calculator within the iceberg darkened: "A healer cannot heal themselves, a diviner cannot divine for themselves, those who divine the Heavenly Secrets are often bewildered by them... I did not expect that Jianzi would master the Secretly Transmitted Sword Heart, retracting all his fortune, emotions, and Heavenly Secrets... almost achieving a ’no longer in the calculations’ kind of Divine Skill. Moreover, I have been too preoccupied with a major matter recently, which led me to be so negligent..."

In fact, when he divined the Heavenly Secrets related to the treasures of the Immortal Mansion, such Supreme Treasures often have the power to conceal Heavenly Secrets, and might even backlash!

The Divine Calculator ended up bound by the Heavenly Secrets and thus trapping himself.

Moreover... he had also recently been involved in a significant event, which left his fortune at a low point...

Given these numerous reasons, it was quite natural for him to have fallen into this predicament.

"Secretly Transmitted Sword Heart, not in the calculations?"

Fang Xi muttered to himself, gaining a deeper understanding of Jianzi’s capabilities.

But to be honest, although he had some research on the array path, his expertise was far from matching the Divine Calculator’s.

Now even the Divine Calculator was trapped by the prohibitions of the Immortals, what could he do himself?

As for whether to convey the message for him or not, it still depended on his mood.

"Wait a minute..."

Fang Xi’s Divine Consciousness swept inch by inch over the nearby area, avoiding the pavilion and its surroundings.

He had little covetousness for the Immortals’ possession here.

When one’s strength is insufficient, to covet something beyond one’s limits is a curse, not a blessing!

However, the items left behind by the Divine Calculator were worth fantasizing about.

"Eh?"

Suddenly, his expression changed, and he raised his hand.

Whoosh!

From the Void, a black arrow appeared and vanished in a flash.

Inside the arrow was an Ominous Worm Puppet of quasi-seventh level!

Squeak!

This Ominous Worm Puppet let out a shrill cry as it pounced towards a certain rockery.

In the crevices of the rockery, where there appeared to be nothing at all, a flash of light suddenly burst forth, and a worm in the shape of an Eight Clawed Spider flew out—it was the Fortune Worm!

However, compared to that fifth-level worm from the Heterodox Incarnation, this Fortune Worm was several times larger and had more mysterious patterns on its body.

——A sixth-level Fortune Worm!

It was originally lying quietly in the crevice of the rockery, its aura retracted to the limit, and even an Integration Cultivator might not notice it.

But Fang Xi was particularly familiar with Fortune Worms, and he vaguely felt his own fortune being coveted.

He immediately knew that this was a ploy left by the Divine Calculator, and it might even be a scheme against him!

By parasitizing his own body with the Fortune Worm, making him obediently follow orders, or secretly monitoring him.

Alas...

The Ominous Worm Puppet emitted a seventh-level Demon Qi, lying on the back of the much larger Fortune Worm.

The Fortune Worm, its vitality restrained, saw Fang Xi lift his hand, and from his five fingers shot out streams of Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light, turning into several fine green needles, pricking into the Fortune Worm at various points.

Crack!

The Fortune Worm immediately became as lifeless as an inanimate object, falling from mid-air, and Fang Xi transformed with the Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light, sealing it into a piece of green jade.

"My worm..."

Seeing Fang Xi claiming the Fortune Worm, an indignant and reluctant expression flickered across the Divine Calculator’s face, as if his little wife had been stolen by Fang Xi!

This sixth-level Fortune Worm had been refined with numerous rare materials and painstaking effort!

Even for Fang Xi at the present stage, it would be extremely difficult to elevate a Fortune Worm to the sixth level.

But as an Integration-stage great cultivator, the Divine Calculator could still achieve this feat if he was willing to invest the necessary effort.

"Senior... why would you scheme against a junior like me with a worm?!"

Fang Xi’s expression turned fierce, deflecting the blame.

In his heart, however, he was overjoyed: ’The method of refining the Fortune Worm from the Heterodox Incarnation was forced out, but now it seems to have returned to its rightful owner, along with some interest...’

’When refining this Fortune Worm, it must have also slowly drawn the refiner’s fortune in secret. Back in the Valley God Secret Realm, the fate of the worm cultivator who refined this worm was quite tragic... Even though the Divine Calculator’s fortune was profound, not being severely drained by the Fortune Worm, falling to such difficulty when his luck reached its lowest ebb was bound to happen!’

"My friend misunderstands,"

The Divine Calculator’s face was a mix of changing colors, eventually settling on sincerity, "I was sealed in the prohibition unprepared, my worms left outside, and I had no intention of scheming against you, my friend..."

In fact, he really did have such a plan.

After all, a sixth-level Fortune Worm was capable of scheming against most cultivators at the Returning to Emptiness stage.

But he hadn’t expected this person to be so alert, and to possess an almost seventh-level Ominous Worm Puppet that seemed to have a deep understanding of Fortune Worms, easily quelling the worm’s resistance.

This time, he truly had lost his wife and soldiers to boot.

"So that’s how it is..."

Fang Xi’s expression was unreadable, neither confirming nor denying his belief.

It was the Divine Calculator who, fearing that Fang Xi would just walk away, hastily said, "This old man still has his Storage Bag with him, which contains quite a fortune..."

He decided to discuss the benefits, "As long as young friend can save this old man from this predicament, you may choose any two, no, three items from my Storage Bag!"

"It seems that young friend’s cultivation is at the perfect Returning to Emptiness stage. Aren’t you planning to challenge the bottleneck of Integration next? Among the things in my Storage Bag, there are three ’Green Life Pills,’ and although they may not compare to the ’Nine-six Nirvana Pill’ auctioned off previously, the effect of taking all three together won’t be much less."

"Besides that, there is also an imitation of the Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure ’Heavenly Dog Slaughter’... Its power amounting to ten to twenty percent of the original Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure..."

"And the ’Nine Heavenly Mysterious Gold,’ ’Jade Sea Tide,’ and ’Seventh-level Mad Snake Inner Core’..."

The Divine Calculator listed his assets one by one, indeed each an item hard to find in the world.

Fang Xi’s expression shifted slightly when he heard a particular item.

How could the Divine Calculator, with his keen intellect, not notice? He smiled and immediately said, "Sir is interested in the ’Phoenix True Plume?’ This feather of the True Spirit Phoenix in my possession, I had to snatch it from the Monster Clan by no easy means. It is one of the nine life-bound feathers of that perished phoenix from years ago... Although that particular True Spirit Phoenix was unusual, the bloodline was indeed elevated to True Spirit Level, and with a slight refining of its life-bound feather, it becomes a top-tier Supreme Treasure!"

’That True Spirit Phoenix from years ago may not have traversed the Mahayana Immortal Thunder Tribulation, but it truly broke through the Mahayana Period’s bottleneck. Its nine life-bound feathers could be considered the most precious material on it.’

’If this life-bound feather was sacrificed for refining into the ’Five Fires Seven Birds Fan,’ the power of this imitation of the Immortal Mansion rare treasure could indeed surge... Perhaps it could even compare to the ’Nine Dragons Cauldron’ from before...’

’But that’s about it...’

Fang Xi chuckled to himself silently.

He already had complete Immortal Mansion Rare Treasures, and the control of the Fang Immortal Taoist Palace was in his hands. He didn’t particularly care about an imitation of a Rare Treasure meant for heterodox incarnations.

The reason for his shift in expression was merely a slight interest, nothing more.

"Since that is the case, this old man will not hold back... I indeed set my heart on obtaining the Phoenix True Plume," he said, laughing. What he said was utterly different from what he thought.

Although the Divine Calculator was sealed, he might still have some hidden trump cards, perhaps even the prospects of a mutual destruction.

Even though Fang Xi wasn’t particularly afraid, there was no need to overly provoke the other party.

It was sufficient to agree insincerely, when to actually seek reinforcements from the human race depended entirely on his mood.

Perhaps a thousand years later, when he himself had ascended to the Mahayana stage, he might come back to release the Divine Calculator, and that wouldn’t be such a bad idea either.

"Sir has good insight,"

The Divine Calculator said joyously, "As long as Sir keeps his promise, this old man, swearing by my Heart Demon and the Dao, assures you that I will show my gratitude upon my release!"

He too aimed to ascend to Mahayana someday, so an oath sworn by the Heart Demon and the Dao carried significant binding power.

Alas... he had bet on the wrong horse!

Fang Xi’s gaze drifted towards the little pavilion, and the objects within, "What sort of benefits did Jianzi take from there?"

The Divine Calculator was taken aback, then chuckled bitterly, "I suspect that pavilion is merely a trap... Everything inside is fake, we simply cannot see through the illusions of the Immortals."

"But as for Jianzi, he truly has a clear mind and perception. He took half of a writing slate from outside the pavilion and left immediately..."

"That’s truly a pity..." Fang Xi felt somewhat regretful.

However, since the Black Crystal Wall allowed passage in all directions, the chances of him not meeting Jianzi were quite high.

If he had met him, that would have been the abnormal possibility!

"I shall go and find someone to rescue my senior. Please take good care of yourself,"

With a clasped fist, Fang Xi’s figure turned into a wisp of smoke and quickly retreated.

The Divine Calculator watched the back of the Wang Family Ancestor as he left, his figure exploding helplessly, turning into countless glimmers of light that faded away.

Whether it was a delusion or not, he always felt that his promises, coupled with the possible chances within this Immortal Mansion, could not stir a trace of desire in the heart of this human cultivator.

"My fortune worm..."

Inside the icy mountain, the Divine Calculator’s roar of despair sounded, followed immediately by a brilliant flash from the five-colored chains that suppressed his voice until it gradually faded into silence...

...

"A sixth-level Fortune Worm, what a scoop!"

Fang Xi stepped out from the Black Crystal Wall, sensing the sixth-level Fortune Worm within the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm, and a hint of ecstasy surfaced on his face.

"My Supreme Northern Dipper Life-controlling Divine Skills are now likely to advance further..."

"In addition to that, within the Mysterious Dark Banner, the Mysterious Dark Removes Calamity and Darkness Divine Light has been cultivated..."

"With the advancement of the Fortune Worm to the sixth level, it should awaken a Divine Skill Level talent – named ’Disaster Dispelling Calamity Resolving Fortune Dark Light’!"

The Fortune Worm originally has the power to absorb cultivators’ fortune.

This ’Disaster Dispelling Calamity Resolving Fortune Dark Light’ can also strip away a cultivator’s fortune, but its magic lies in not needing to contact the cultivator, a Divine Skill that can be used in combat and is incredibly fast!

"With these three divine lights combined..."

"The ’Jiuqu Yellow River Three Flowers Immortal Array’ that I am conceptualizing, the future pinnacle of the array path, should now have a rudimentary form!"
