Chapter 959: Chapter 815: Alien Race Army

"What kind of emergency has occurred at the frontline?"

Fang Xi, with a composure akin to his face remaining unchanged even if Mount Tai were collapsing before him, took another sip of Spiritual Tea before asking.

"The Alien Alliance really did emerge, and this time the Jiuchi Clan has sent out numerous Mahayana combatants."

"In fact, signs of a traitor were discovered by all three clans; this great battle between humans and demons was a mere act... The ultimate goal was to lure out the three Mahayana warriors from the Jiuchi Clan..."

Jin Gangzi’s face was somewhat pale, "But as soon as the three Mahayana from the Jiuchi Clan were besieged by the allied forces of the humans, Monster Clan, and Demonic Beasts at the critical moment, the Monster Clan suddenly betrayed us!"

"It turns out the Monster Clan, though aware of the Jiuchi Clan’s schemes, had secretly allied with them... Feigning support initially, they struck at the crucial moment, inflicting heavy damage on the three Mahayana of the human race. ’Demon Ancestor Zixuan’ from the Demon Clan was slain on the spot with an Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure by a Jiuchi Clan Mahayana..."

"The Monster Clan? Allied with the Jiuchi Clan?!" Fang Xi blinked, "Haven’t many from the Monster Clan also been annihilated by the Alien Alliance? They agreed to this?"

"The Monster Clan bears no grudges against the Jiuchi Clan, and moreover, the weaker members within the Alien Alliance have no say in decisions... It’s quite possible that those with deep enmity against the Monster Clan were already eliminated." Jin Gangzi couldn’t help but wryly smile, "If it were our human or demon races allying with the Jiuchi Clan, I wouldn’t find it odd at all."

Upon hearing this, Fang Xi immediately inhaled sharply, "The situation... has been reversed!"

The Jiuchi Clan in alliance with the Alien race could be considered akin to one of the major powers among the human race, Monster Clan, and Demonic Beasts. Perhaps a loose coalition, slightly inferior, but the difference would definitely not be significant.

Now allied with the Monster Clan and having betrayed the human and demon races, one could easily imagine how things would develop next!

"This time, it is feared that the fight for supremacy between the three, no, four races, will finally yield a true victor."

Fang Xi murmured to himself.

No matter what price or assurances were given, the alliance between the Monster Clan and the Jiuchi Clan, at least after this affair, would not easily turn hostile before the annihilation of the human and demon races.

Such an alliance between these two clans would leave the human and demon races powerless to resist individually; they must join forces to contend.

But now, with Mahayana combatants consecutively damaged, it’s become difficult.

United, the Monster Clan and the Jiuchi Clan already possess the strength to attempt the destruction of the human and demon races.

And this time, no other power will intervene.

The flames of war will surely sweep across the largest territories of the Earth Immortal Realm, until one side completely falls!

"A great war, a true great war is coming! Amitabha, why must the innocent suffer?"

Jin Gangzi brought his hands together in prayer, seemingly praying silently for the people of the world who would be caught in the upcoming calamity.

After a moment, he opened his eyes, "As the great war looms, it is time for this monk to leave... Sir, I accept the deal we previously discussed!"

In times of war, a Great Integration Cultivator is undoubtedly more important!

Fang Xi nodded; he had no intention of reneging.

After all, among his acquaintances, there was no one who had reached the peak of Returning to Emptiness.

And by the time they reached their Cultivation bottleneck, he would certainly be able to provide the necessary Integration Spiritual Object.

He smiled faintly, and a Purple Magic Gourd appeared in his hand, "The ’Innate One Qi’ within this gourd can belong to you, Sir, but the gourd itself must stay with me..."

Incorporating this Purple Magic Gourd into the ’Two-Five Soul-Cutting Gourds’ would surely enhance the power of this treasure.

"Agreed."

Jin Gangzi chanted a Buddhist chant, and a golden jar and a jade slip appeared on the table.

Fang Xi picked up the golden jar, noting its antique design and the sun-like seal script on its surface.

"This jar, containing ’Great Sun Secret Initiation Butter’, is something this monk acquired from within an Immortal Mansion Secret Realm... I discovered that the butter is greatly beneficial for body cultivators, but unfortunately, it only works once or twice at the beginning, with no effect if used excessively."

Jin Gangzi explained.

Fang Xi’s Divine Consciousness probed slightly, only to be rudely rebuffed by the golden jar.

He was slightly taken aback, barely opening the lid of the golden jar, and saw that it still contained about half a jar of golden ointment, emitting a pungent aroma.

Just by smelling it, his blood began to circulate more lively – and his blood had reached the seventh-order level, usually as silent as a mountain but erupting with a shock that splits the heavens when stirred.

That this ointment could make even him feel his blood boiling with just its scent was certainly extraordinary, but the quantity was somewhat small.

"After it became useless to me, I’ve exchanged it with other peers a few times, leaving only this much."

Jin Gangzi smiled apologetically, "Within this jade slip is a body refining technique I obtained in that Immortal Mansion Secret Realm, but most of it is already broken... Behind the jade slip is a method I deduced, which, when combined with the True Body of Sky Demon and aided by this butter, should allow you to advance your body refining by a small step."

Fang Xi picked up the golden jade slip, with his Divine Consciousness slightly condensed.

Then, a fragmented mantra appeared before him.

"’Great Sun Ming King, Dicitumumikung’?"

He read out the name of the technique, feeling that each seal character was extraordinary, carrying a unique Daoist charm, as if they were transforming into little figures demonstrating a body refining technique.

Even those who were illiterate could understand the meaning of the text merely by seeing it.

It was a pity that most of this technique was already missing.

Fang Xi knew that this was Jin Gangzi’s compensation for the insufficiency of the butter.

And behind this ’Dicitumumikung’, there was another technique ’Hinayana Vajra Sequential Supreme Yoga Secret Method’, which was what Jin Gangzi truly deduced from the original.

He took only a few glances to know that this technique was profound and could be considered as a high-level inheritance within body cultivators.

"The characters in this ’Dicitumumikung’?"

Fang Xi played with the jade slip, inquiring about the most intriguing part.

"These are the characters of the Immortals, which seem to be related to the Brahman Sect. I call them ’True Brahma Text’!"

Jin Gangzi laughed, "Presumably you have also noticed their extraordinary aspects, Sir. They are the best aid for imparting teachings..."

"Indeed so."

Fang Xi nodded in agreement.

"This humble monk must now return to the Three Realms Mountain. I wish you well, Sir."

Jin Gangzi received the ’Innate One Qi,’ returned the Purple Magic Gourd to Fang Xi, and immediately transformed into a streak of golden light, disappearing into the distance.

Gazing at the Escape Light of Jin Gangzi disappearing, Fang Xi’s expression became indiscernible:

"He didn’t even mention the matter of the next guardian of Sky Brahman City... Could it be...?"

He thought about the geography of the Earth Immortal Realm.

The Sky Brahman Domain is located at the southernmost edge of the human territory, while the Three Realms Mountain is to the north.

’Have they decided that the Sky Brahman Domain is indefensible and are planning to abandon it?’ Fang Xi suddenly had this unsettling thought.

The Monster Clan is positioned to the northwest of the human territory; the safest route for them to attack human territories would be through the Three Realms Mountain!

But, the Jiuchi Clan is different; nestled deep within the wilderness, no one knows from where they will come!

If the Sky Brahman Domain happens to be on the enemy’s march route, the consequences would be truly unimaginable!

"No, I must immediately go to the Penglai Fairy Pavilion to prepare for relocation..." Fang Xi gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

Upon his return, he would need to properly reorganize and fortify the Sect Protection Array of the Penglai Fairy Pavilion.

With his mastery over arrays, as long as they did not encounter a Mahayana Monk who specialized in countering them, they should be able to hold up under any circumstances for a while.

If peace remained, or only small enemy forces were encountered, they would naturally resist to the end.

If the situation turned dire, it would be entirely possible to put people like Shui Lingxin into the Cave Heaven treasure and flee.

...

Penglai Fairy Pavilion.

Liang Rulong had just returned and heard the urgent ringing of bells throughout the place. A trace of confusion crossed his face: "What is this...?"

Before he had time to report his mission to the pavilion master and the Supreme Elders, he rode his Escape Light and followed a group of cultivators to the Great Hall of the Penglai Fairy Pavilion.

This council hall was built in the center of the Penglai Fairy Pavilion, a wooden building with a very spacious interior.

Upon entering, Liang Rulong saw that both sides were already lined with many cultivators, all standing respectfully with eyes downcast and hearts introspective.

Shui Lingxin, as the pavilion master, stood solemnly on the steps, her face grave.

Lady Baolian and Yunxi, along with other Returning to Emptiness elders, also looked deeply troubled.

Above the main seat, Fang Xi sat with a solemn bearing, looking down at the cultivators below.

"Greetings to the pavilion master, to the elders, to the Supreme Elder..."

After the bell tolled for the third time, the last cultivator entered the hall.

The entire assembly greeted the decision-makers of the Penglai Fairy Pavilion upon the steps, aware that a serious issue must have arisen.

Otherwise, that Mahayana Monk who was as elusive as a dragon would not have easily emerged from seclusion, nor called together so many disciples.

"Ahem..."

Fang Xi cleared his throat and said, "The great battle between our kind and the Demon Clan has resulted. An Alien Alliance has risen recently, forming an alliance with the Monster Clan, and their next move might be the invasion of both the human and demon races!"

Upon this declaration, the hall erupted into noise.

Most questions were about what exactly this ’Alien Alliance’ was.

Yunxi, Liu Xu, Shui Lingxin, and others, although already briefed by Fang Xi, still couldn’t hide their unease.

Ding!

A crisp sound of jade chimed, bringing the clamor to an abrupt silence.

It turned out that Fang Xi had struck the Yuxin in front of him, and with a grave voice said, "A great war is about to begin, and if we lose, the human race may not be exterminated, but we will no longer be ranked among the major races of the Earth Immortal Realm... Among the cultivators present here, most will likely be lost..."

This harsh vision of the future immediately caused a look of alarm to appear on everyone’s faces.

"Therefore, I have decided to personally take action and remodel the Sect Protection Array of the Penglai Fairy Pavilion. Besides this, our sect will immediately begin to downsize and stockpile resources..."

Fang Xi gave some instructions, then dismissed the cultivators.

The cultivators left the pavilion with solemn expressions, bowing and exiting.

Liang Rulong, however, deliberately lagged behind. After all cultivators had left, he turned around and bowed once more: "Liang Rulong greets the Supreme Elder... I have achieved some results from the Secret Realm search, and I have been in charge of bringing them here."

He bowed deeply, presenting a Storage Bag.

Wrapped in a glow of Blue Light, the Storage Bag came into Fang Xi’s hands.

Upon sweeping it with his Divine Consciousness, he found a set of incomplete Array tools, and couldn’t help but smile: "You have some fortune and opportunity with you. The Three Realms Mountain is now less safe than ever, and it’s uncertain if the Super Teleportation Array will still be operating. Yet you were able to return to the Sky Brahman Domain before this happened... From this day on, you should remain to defend our sect here."

"Thank you, Supreme Elder!"

Liang Rulong bowed again, a glint of joy flickering across his face.

In his view, taking shelter in the sect’s main base was naturally much safer than in the precarious Three Realms Mountain.

...

Meanwhile, on the edge of the Sky Brahman Domain.

The sky and land were darkened, revealing the shadows of a great Alien race army.

"Moo!"

A figure clad in azure armor, with a head resembling that of a rhinoceros, looked toward the distant landscape. Suddenly clutching a handful of soil, he roared, "Homeland... we have returned! This time, no one will make us leave again!"

Behind him, numerous Alien race cultivators had flames igniting in their eyes. They unleashed various roars and cries, seemingly venting emotions suppressed for many years...
