Chapter 908: Chapter 770: Impact Integration (Extra for Subscriptions)

Sky Brahman Domain.

Penglai Fairy Pavilion.

Fang Xi’s Nascent Soul was robust beyond compare, dressed in a green robe, holding the Treasures of All Heavens Mirror.

Around him rotated the fifth generation Green Barley Sword, Blood Fiend Banner, and other treasures.

Opposite him was the Heterodox Nascent Soul that had been assimilated.

"The Heterodox incarnation has been too idle recently; it’s time to go out and work hard..."

"This identity of an ascending cultivator in the Sky Brahman Domain suits me perfectly!"

Fang Xi had been directly transferred to the Sky Brahman Domain from the Seven Treasures Secret Realm.

After leaving the void coordinates behind, such teleportation was done at will.

He was too lazy to be imprisoned on Falling Sky Island for hundreds of years.

Now that all preparations had been gathered, it was time to attempt a breakthrough in the Integration bottleneck!

"Breaking through the Great Integration bottleneck is a formidable challenge even for prodigious ascending cultivators!"

"In the Earth Immortal Realm, cultivators at the Integration level are absolutely top-tier!"

"For me, there is no need for any Spiritual Pills or Secret Skills... Now that the Mother Qi of All Woods has accumulated over ten thousand acres within the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm, I can breakthrough at any time!"

All this was thanks to the ginseng fruit tree, a Spiritual Root from the Immortal Mansion.

"Besides, I have the ’Mortal World Heart Refining Qi’ in that red gourd for the Heart Demon Tribulation... For the thunder tribulation, I have the Mixed Origin Heavenly Umbrella, Thousands Demon Armor Secret Skills, even the True Body of Sky Demon..."

"If I still fail with all this, then there would be no cultivator in the Earth Immortal Realm capable of success!"

Fang Xi’s Nascent Soul returned to its place, and he stood up, taking his Heterodox incarnation with him as he stepped out of the Dongfu.

"You heartless thing!"

Not long after, as the faint fragrance wafted through the air, Lady Baolian hurried over upon hearing the news of Fang Xi’s breakthrough, only to see a young man in a green shirt with a face incomparably handsome and a temperament mixed with the vicissitudes of life and youth, truly an extraordinary paradox.

"You... you are... Fang Xi?"

Lady Baolian’s face showed a hint of shock: "Your cultivation..."

Wasn’t Fang Xi always at the mid-phase of Returning to Emptiness?

How could he have reached the full completion of Returning to Emptiness so suddenly?

This was simply too terrifying!

With such rapid progress in cultivation, wouldn’t he be considered unparalleled even among ascending cultivators?

"Actually, my cultivation has always been progressing; it was just concealed with the ’Turtle Breath Secret Skills’..."

Fang Xi laughed heartily, and the magic power of Returning to Emptiness full completion swept through the entire Penglai Fairy Pavilion like a hurricane.

Before long, with a flash of light, Fairy Yunxi, who had turned into a ghost cultivator, arrived, and upon seeing Fang Xi like this, her face showed a sense of inevitability.

Then came Shui Lingxin and Liu Xu, arriving as two beams of Escape Light.

"Congratulations, Uncle-Master, on achieving full completion of Returning to Emptiness!"

Seeing Fang Xi’s true self, Shui Lingxin showed a hint of a smile: "... the prospect of Integration in the future!"

"This humble woman has long known; with Senior’s talent, how could you possibly remain at the mid-phase of Returning to Emptiness?"

Liu Xu also spoke with a smiling face.

Lady Baolian suddenly felt wronged: ’Turns out this heartless man kept everyone but me in the dark?’

"Prospect of Integration?"

Fang Xi’s lips curled into a smile: "Then thank you, my niece, for your auspicious words... My intent is to find a place right away, to break through the Integration bottleneck."

"What?"

This time, even Shui Lingxin and the other ladies were utterly astonished...

...

"Sky Brahman Domain originally doesn’t have many high-level cultivators; Integration level beings should only include ’Predecessor Luo’ who is stationed in Sky Brahman City..."

"Now that I have displayed my cultivation at the full completion of Returning to Emptiness, I will immediately challenge the Integration bottleneck."

"Not to mention these female cultivators won’t betray me, even if they would... it’s already too late."

Not far from Penglai Fairy Pavilion, a giant blue mountain rose from the ground.

Fang Xi sat cross-legged on top of the blue mountain, his aura mysterious and inscrutable.

After pondering the various responses following his promotion and having a clear plan in his heart, he flicked his sleeve.

The stern-faced Heterodox incarnation clad in black robe silently stood beside, holding the ’Five Fires Seven Birds Fan,’ dutifully protecting him.

Lady Baolian saw two ’Fang Xis’ with different clothes but identical faces, her heart was filled with indescribable complexity: "I have been slept with by an external incarnation?!"

Since Fang Xi had let his Heterodox incarnation ascend in his stead, he naturally adjusted the appearance to be identical to his true self.

"Ah well, it doesn’t matter... If this person really advances to Integration, even clinging to his external incarnation is not a loss..."

The Heterodox incarnation didn’t bother with pleasantries with the ladies but just let out a light shout, and a Mysterious Dark Banner flew out.

An underworld river, vast and black as thousands of miles, emerged around the blue mountain, like a dark and fierce giant dragon!

A Spirit Beast Bag was offered, and Xiao Qing transformed into a gigantic Azure Luan, landing beneath the foot of the Heterodox incarnation.

Not only that, but in the hands of the Heterodox incarnation, Array Flags and Array Disks appeared one after another, which were continuously carried by numerous Puppets and Taoist Soldiers to various places for deployment.

Soon, a dreadful array with a sinister aura soared to the sky, filled with countless flickering runes, where purple Dragon Chapter Script and silver Phoenix Seal Script complemented each other, all exuding a terrifying Spiritual Pressure...

"Mr. Fang... you really kept a lot of things from us," Fairy Yunxi said speechlessly upon witnessing the scene.

Just the outer defenses alone would be hard to break through by an ordinary Integration cultivator in a short period, wouldn’t they?

And at that moment, a thunderous roar resounded between heaven and earth; the terrifying Primordial Energy of Heaven and Earth swept over like a tide.

It seemed as though several ’spring eyes’ had opened up between the sky and earth of the Earth Immortal Realm, with a massive amount of Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy gushing out!

The rich primordial energy of heaven and earth formed clusters of multicolored spirit clouds, which eventually converged into one spot, where gold and silver radiance flickered, and countless runes roamed unpredictably.

Chirp chirp!

Roar roar!

Suddenly, from the midst of the spirit clouds, flew out a silver phoenix and a purple true dragon, both completely condensed from the solidified state of the heaven and earth primordial energy.

In the symphony of dragon and phoenix, the true dragon and the phoenix charged towards the azure giant mountain!

The dragon and phoenix signify good fortune!

They also represent the calamity of dragon and phoenix!

"Is this... the tribulation of an Integration cultivator?"

Shui Lingxin muttered to herself, sensing that both the true dragon and the phoenix had the strength to crush her with ease!

"No, this is merely the backlash of the natural heaven and earth primordial energy when one is attempting to break through to Integration." Fairy Yunxi explained to her disciple, "Integration cultivators can control vast amounts of heaven and earth primordial energy with just a thought, far surpassing us in the Returning to Emptiness stage... Therefore, during the breakthrough, there is this ’Primordial Energy Tribulation’!"

"Among the many cultivators who have reached the pinnacle of Returning to Emptiness, those who can trigger the ’Primordial Energy Tribulation’ are regarded as having sufficient accumulation and the strength to attempt Integration... This is also called ’Dragon and Phoenix Signify Good Fortune’! Once this omen appears, it signifies the potential emergence of a new Integration master!"

Even for cultivators in the Returning to Emptiness stage, Integration represents a great power!

Rustle rustle!

At this moment, atop of the azure giant mountain, wholly condensed from the ’Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light’, a phantom of the Demon Tree emerged.

The Ancestral Demon Tree stretched unceasingly, its vast canopy shrouded the skies, and numerous vines shot out.

Pu pu!

The dragon and phoenix in midair were directly penetrated, and then were tightly bound by many vines and qi roots, pulled into the canopy of the Monster Tree.

This dragon and phoenix were captured, refined, absorbed... it was as if a key had been turned.

Above the sky, the multicolored primordial energy of heaven and earth came together majestically, surging downward...

Thereafter, a spiritual pressure far surpassing that of a Returning to Emptiness cultivator made its presence known!

Even though Shui Lingxin was a Transcendent God cultivator, at that moment she felt unsteady, and if it were not for her master’s help, she would have been pressed to the ground, unable to move a muscle.

"He has already breached the major bottleneck of Integration, Mr. Fang’s foundation is profound and truly unfathomable; I wonder what spiritual object he used to assist his breakthrough of the bottleneck..."

Fairy Yunxi glanced over at Lady Baolian, whose face was flushed with excitement, and stated calmly.

"Indeed... This is the true might of Integration! Merely with the power of one’s own magic aura, one can suppress a Transcendent God cultivator!"

Liu Xu looked in the direction of the azure giant mountain, her eyes showing a mixture of submission and admiration...

Breaking through the major bottleneck of Integration and becoming an Integration cultivator means one is eligible to become one of the Five Sons of Human Race!

At this moment, at the very least, Fang Xi has stepped onto the same playing field as Changqingzi!

...

At the summit of the azure peak.

Fang Xi silently introspected and found the ’Kuyong Skills’ running rampant within, refining the voluminous Immortal Origin Energy surging from the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm into a hazy purple qi, all of which was absorbed by the Nascent Soul.

Above his head, the originally few-inches sized Nascent Soul suddenly broke through the bottleneck, expanding to about a foot long, its body manifesting numerous green woody patterns that faintly formed different symbols...

The Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm roared, once again beginning to expand its reach!

"Indeed, when cultivating the Way of the Earth Immortal, after sufficient accumulation, breaking through the bottleneck of Integration is like letting nature take its course..."

Fang Xi had yet to fully experience the magic power and divine skills of the Integration level when he took out a crimson gourd the size of a thumb, and opened its mouth.

An aura that seemed to contain all the mortal realms of the world emerged, which he inhaled through his nose.

This was the ’Mortal World Heart Refining Qi’, meant to guard the true spirit with this qi, which should help one pass through the tribulation of Integration-level Heart Demon.

In fact, even without using such a spiritual object, Fang Xi had considerable confidence in overcoming the Heart Demon Tribulation.

After all, his Dao Heart was exceedingly firm throughout his cultivation until now.

However, to be entirely sure, even if it meant wasting some resources, it was worth it.

Soon, he closed his eyes and fell into an endless illusion...

The Integration Heart Demon Tribulation has arrived!

...

"The difficulty of the Heart Demon Tribulation at the Integration level is beyond belief..."

Lady Baolian whispered as she watched the scene unfold, "Within the Heavenly Charm Sect, there is a ’Fragrance of Heaven Path.’ If there is a cultivator with a ’Fragrance of Heaven Body’ who has cultivated to the pinnacle of the Returning to Emptiness stage, they may be able to extract their body fragrance to create a line of heavenly fragrance, which can aid in overcoming the Heart Demon Tribulation..."

Sadly, it had been many years since a disciple with a ’Fragrance of Heaven Body’ had appeared in the Heavenly Charm Sect.

"With Mr. Fang’s Dao Heart, overcoming the Heart Demon Tribulation should not be a problem."

"What is truly fearsome is the Major Heavenly Tribulation of Integration!"

Fairy Yunxi looked up at the sky.

Being a Ghost Cultivator who feared the power of thunder more than anything, she could already faintly perceive the gathering of Heavenly Might.

"During the phase of Returning to Emptiness, there are a total of nine heavenly tribulations..."

"But when facing the Major Heavenly Tribulation of Integration, one must endure at least twelve strikes of heavenly thunder, otherwise the thunderclouds will not dissipate..."

Boom boom boom!

In the sky above, layers of clouds appeared.

These clouds, resembling gold celebrating clouds, contained silver patterns and suddenly turned pitch black as ink...

Crack!

A thunderbolt streaked with gold and silver lightning struck down furiously!

"Ah!"

Fairy Yunxi screamed in agony, as under this Heavenly Might, she found it difficult to maintain her ghostly form. Her figure flickered violently, nearly exploding on the spot!
