Stealthily cultivating in the chaotic world of demons and martial artists

Chapter 935: Chapter 791: Jin Gangzi Sends a Message

"The divine path has nine ranks, of which the fifth rank is a huge watershed, divided into Yin Divinity and Yang Divinity..."

"A fifth rank Yang Divinity would be equivalent to a Core Formation cultivator, within the realm of their divine position, their divine skills and spells are far beyond those of Core Formation..."

This was also recorded within the Martial Judge’s divine position.

But beyond that, things become more vague.

After all, a minor Ninth Rank figure knowing about the position of a regular Fifth Rank god was already enough.

Many deities struggle their entire lives to ascend from the Ninth Rank to the Fifth Rank!

"But from this, I infer that the gods of the Third Rank should be equivalent to the Nascent Soul... and the First Rank could be Transcendent Gods?"

"As for what is above Transcendent Gods? Naturally, one would have to ascend to the Heavenly Court... After all, this is but a minor realm, and the highest allowed here is the Transcendent God."

"However, the divine system is special, and there is one exceptional Imperial figure?"

"The position of the Imperial Son in the divine system may surpass that of the Transcendent God, perhaps comparable to Returning to Emptiness?"

"Within the Heavenly Court, deities with heavenly ranks such as Dukes and Marquises are probably at the Returning to Emptiness level..."

"Those following them, the Lords, could perhaps be compared to Integration..."

"As for Heavenly Kings and Heavenly Honored Ones... Could it be that they are Mahayana Period monks?"

"The final Heavenly Emperor is probably a separate consideration..."

Contemplating the power of the Heavenly Court silently, Fang Xi became determined to continue laying low.

Let’s see how much turmoil the heterodox incarnation can stir up in that divine world.

He stepped out of the Dongfu, and immediately the gentle voice of Tai Yi arose beside him, "Master... Lord Ghost Axe requests an audience!"

"Mhm."

Fang Xi gave his assent, and a holographic projection of Ghost Axe materialized right in front of him.

However, the figure on the other side had astonishingly broken through Transcendent Godhood and achieved Returning to Emptiness!

Falling Sky Island was rich in resources, far surpassing the territory of the human race, the variety of Returning to Emptiness level spiritual objects even exceeded the imagination of the average human cultivator.

After all, there were many special products from the Monster Clan, the Demon Clan, and even alien races. If a human Transcendent God perfecting cultivator were here, the chances of breaking through Returning to Emptiness would definitely far exceed the outside world.

Even a cultivator at the perfect stage of Returning to Emptiness would have better odds at breaking through to Integration.

"Daoist Master, after reviewing the materials you provided, this is the thesis I wrote on the potential of the mind and the power of faith!"

Lord Ghost Axe handed Fang Xi a lengthy dissertation.

The paper appeared polished, yet if printed out, it could probably fill an entire room.

Fang Xi opened the screen, and a cascade of information tumbled down like a waterfall.

After his promotion to Integration, his Divine Consciousness had improved, and he finished reading the thesis in a moment.

Not only had he finished reading, but he also had complete understanding of every piece of data therein.

"So... are we ready to begin the experimental phase now?"

Fang Xi’s eyes lit up.

"Yes, after all, to start with, we only need the land of one county, tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of people to try it out..."

Lord Ghost Axe responded as such.

He was previously an expert in human psychology and the subconscious, and also led the development of the ’Submerged Dragon,’ an Origin Soul artifact, giving him authority on the subject.

Plus, there were quite a few mortal kingdoms on Falling Sky Island.

After all, not every child of a cultivator has a Spiritual Root, and the power of propagation is boundless.

Up till now, humankind has not taken over the entire Falling Sky Island, simply because the environment is too dangerous.

Even so, scores of small countries have sprung up, each backed by human cultivators, attacking each other, reminiscent of the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period in Fang Xi’s mind.

"Mm, I suppose the current human cultivators would all give me some face, and handing over all the mortal kingdoms for me to rule might require some persuasion... but giving me one or two kingdoms is totally within reason."

Fang Xi smiled faintly.

After deciding to research the divine path, mortals became a scarce resource, entering his sights amongst Fallen Sky Island’s mortal realms.

The majority of cultivators don’t pay much attention to mortals, and these kingdoms are still very primitive.

If he asks, most high-ranking cultivators would readily agree.

As for the rest? It would just be a little effort on his part.

"If enough faith is collected, it may stimulate the evolution of the divine position..."

Lord Ghost Axe adjusted the glasses he was wearing, suddenly exuding an aura of a scholar.

This ordinary low-rank divine position offered no allure to a cultivator who had achieved Returning to Emptiness.

Even if one could procure divinity of the First Rank en masse, it would only serve to produce Transcendent God cultivators.

What truly attracted him was the potential for limitless evolution of the divine position.

If they could cultivate a Heavenly Emperor in the Earth Immortal Realm?

Then Mahayana monks could be easily obliterated, and the vengeance for the former Taoist Master would be within reach.

...

After leisurely playing with some foxes, Fang Xi then headed to the Sky Brahman Domain in the Earth Immortal Realm.

In Falling Sky Island, he was the top cultivator, and even Integration masters would change color at his sight.

But in the Sky Brahman Domain, he was a cultivator who had just advanced to the early stages of Integration in the human race.

Although still among the peak powers, his fame did not spread as far as in Falling Sky Island.

A subdued blue Escape Light quietly left the Penglai Fairy Pavilion and headed for Heavenly Brahman City.

"On this trip to the Three Realms Mountain, perhaps it’s an opportunity to capture a few Returning to Emptiness demon cultivators practicing the ’Self-Transforming Heavenly Sovereign Commanding Ten Thousand Spirits True Demon Skill’ to upgrade the heterodox incarnation?"

Within the Escape Light, Fang Xi remained expressionless, his mind busily calculating.

Having recently broken through to Integration, he could now continue to elevate the cultivation of his heterodox incarnation.

But according to the attributes of the "Self-transforming Demon True Skills," it was difficult to generate a Demon Cultivator at the Integration stage.

After all, the Carefree Sky Demon King wouldn’t dig such a big pit for himself.

Therefore, the version of the Demon Skills circulating outside only went up to the perfection of Returning to Emptiness. Any further progress would surely invite the intervention of the Carefree Sky Demon King’s will to seize the cultivation!

If the opponent advanced to Mahayana this time, becoming the new Demon Ancestor, perhaps they would even release the "Supreme Heavenly Sovereign’s True Demon Art of Controlling All Spirits" content after the Integration stage, to nurture thicker "leeks."

But obviously, that would not be possible now.

Luckily, Fang Xi wasn’t picky—he would be fine with any Demon Clan capable of cultivating this Demon Skill.

With just one more, his heterodox incarnation might be able to break through to the perfection of Returning to Emptiness.

If several more came along, he might even directly break through the Integration realm!

’Seeking the Carefree Sky Demon King is indeed troublesome... Better to disguise myself as a Demon Cultivator who has broken through to Integration and attract the Carefree Sky Demon King to his doom...’

When it came to luring the serpent out of its hole, Fang Xi was already quite adept.

Although the Carefree Sky Demon King should be carrying a fragment of the Treasures of All Heavens, revealing his position to Fang Xi at all times,

going to the Demon Realm would ultimately be somewhat troublesome.

Fang Xi still preferred the other party to take the initiative to come to the human race so he could fulfill the host’s duties.

Besides, he also had some thoughts about that piece of the Monster Clan’s Treasure Mirror fragment.

The fragment of the Treasures of All Heavens in the hands of the Monster Clan had actually been combined with the one in possession of Fu Youzi to create the ’Two Realms Gate.’

In the previous great war of the Monster Clan, the Two Realms Gate was destroyed, leaving only one door remaining, which had become useless.

According to his guess, it should currently be in the hands of a Monster Clan Saint, guarded with a not particularly high level of vigilance.

’Still, it is possible that it’s kept by a True Spirit-level being of the Monster Clan... And such True Spirit level beings typically have incredibly long lifespans, far exceeding twenty or thirty thousand years...’

’So one must not be reckless...’

’Once the "Kuyong Skills" break through to the Mahayana Period, I can resolve all issues just like with Falling Sky Island.’

Amidst such thoughts, Heavenly Brahman City was already in sight.

Of course, Fang Xi came here to make use of the ’Super Teleportation Array’; after all, on his way to Three Realms Mountain, he also planned to take a look around the Secret Realm discovered by Liang Ruolong, even though he definitely would not enter it, he could still resolve some peripheral troubles.

And perhaps even collect the items he needed from the large auctions held by the Black Tortoise Pavilion.

Since he would need to make a public appearance at that time, he naturally needed to create evidence of his travels.

As an Integration Monk, he was already at the top of the human race, and every move he made was noticed by many interested parties, necessitating greater attention to maintaining his identity.

Heavenly Brahman City.

At the city gate, numerous Cultivators were queuing up to enter.

Not to mention Nascent Soul, even Transcendent God and Returning to Emptiness Cultivators had to obediently follow the rules at this time.

After all, inside Heavenly Brahman City, Integration Monks held sway, representing both the Sky Brahman Army and Jin Gangzi!

Whoosh!

Just then, a burst of spiritual light flashed, and a figure loomed within the blue light, unexpectedly breaking directly into the city.

"Huh? Some Cultivator has managed to fly, has the city’s Space Restriction been disabled?"

At the city gate, a Nascent Soul Cultivator looked at the figure within the blue light and his face showed disbelief.

Immediately, he was met with unanimous contempt from the city guards, "Hehe... Little Cultivator, you’re lucky to have witnessed an Integration Master going out."

"It’s an Integration Master?"

The Nascent Soul Cultivator who had just spoken was immediately covered with cold sweat.

"Who else could freely come and go in the city’s Great Array without the slightest hindrance, if not for an Integration Cultivator?"

A white-haired old farmer-looking Transcendent God Cultivator beside him stroked his beard with a touch of emotion, "In our Sky Brahman Domain, there are only two Integration Cultivators, which is rather too few... This one with refined Escape Light is obviously not Predecessor Luo, so it could only be Senior Fang from Penglai Fairy Pavilion."

"That Ascending Immortal who advanced to Integration in just a few thousand years?"

Hearing this, several lower-level Cultivators around showed looks of admiration.

"Yes... Ascending Immortals often have extraordinary talents, taking up three to four tenths of all Integration Cultivators..."

The elderly Transcendent God also sighed with emotion, "Among the Five Sons of Human Race, ’Mo Yunzi’ is rumored to be of Ascending Immortal origin..."

...

Fang Xi, of course, had no interest in listening to the discussions among low-level Cultivators.

After entering Heavenly Brahman City, he headed straight for the Super Teleportation Array.

"Hmm? Why is that person there?"

Before the teleportation hall, Fang Xi’s Divine Consciousness swept over and he felt a tinge of surprise, but still descended from his Escape Light.

Next to the Super Teleportation Array stood an old, bald monk in a dark gold robe, his long white eyebrows drooping, exuding an air of sorrow.

It was none other than the Luo-surnamed Integration Cultivator stationed in Heavenly Brahman City!

"Sir Luo!"

Fang Xi greeted him with a salute.

"Mr. Fang, ever since the Array detected the approach of an Integration Cultivator, I have been waiting here for quite some time," said Luo with his hands clasped together and a smile.

"Are you heading to Three Realms Mountain?" Fang Xi asked, unwilling to reveal his intentions casually.

"Whether or not I am, how would that matter?" Fang Xi retorted with a question.

"If so, I would like you to meet our army commander. There may be an opportunity waiting..."

Luo said with a gentle smile, his hands still clasped together.
