Chapter 995: Chapter 851: The Treasure Mirror Returns to Unity

"The most exhilarating moment... has finally arrived."

Fang Xi picked up the Heaven Treasure of Saint Lu Xing, his Divine Thought sweeping across it without limit.

In a short while, a flash of white light appeared on his hand, and a miniature door emerged.

On the door, there seemed to be a piece of bronze fragment embedded!

"The final fragment of the Treasures of All Heavens..."

He murmured, a hint of intoxication flickering in his eyes.

If it weren’t for this fragment, why would he have gone through so much trouble to ambush a Monster Clan Saint?

Fortunately, all his efforts were finally paying off!

With a gesture of his hand, Fang Xi sent a surge of Magic Power forth.

The miniature door expanded instantly, yet there was no hint of disturbance in the void.

After all... as a unique Exotic Treasure, the other gate of the Two Realms Gate had already been destroyed by him.

Now only one gate remained, without much use.

He brought his hands together, and the Treasures of All Heavens emerged.

"Quickly!"

A beam of silver-white Radiance descended, enveloping the Two Realms Gate.

When the silver-white Radiance faded away, the bronze fragment on top of the Two Realms Gate had vanished without a trace!

Hum!

The last gap on the Treasures of All Heavens finally closed.

Upon seeing this, a flash of Golden Light surrounded Fang Xi, and the East Imperial Profound Real Infinite Evergreen Emperor, clad in his imperial robes, appeared with a sweep of his wide sleeves.

A massive amount of Immortal Jade appeared like a mountain, and then quickly dissipated into nothingness.

Rich Immortal Qi emerged, layering like white clouds, and like a whale swallowing water, it was absorbed by the Treasures of All Heavens.

Clang!

Upon the Treasures of All Heavens, a silver-white Radiance flickered, and the original cracks tended towards completion.

This cheater that accompanied Fang Xi through his travels had finally been fully restored to its original state!

A flash of joy crossed Fang Xi’s face. The power of Kuyong Skills continuously flowed into the Treasures of All Heavens, but he discovered it was difficult to completely refine the Supreme Treasure.

With a thought, his God Path Incarnation took action. Mahayana Level divine power entered the Bronze Mirror, but it disappeared without trace, ineffective as mud thrown into the sea.

Fang Xi was actually not too surprised by this.

The Treasures of All Heavens only recognized the original self, even though the God Path Incarnation and Heterodox Incarnations were given access by the original self, enabling them to borrow some power from the Treasure Mirror.

This was his biggest reliance against the rebellion of incarnations!

"It seems that only after the original self has advanced to the Mahayana Period and refines it with Immortal Origin Power will it have any effect..."

Fang Xi murmured to himself.

He still held great expectations for the worlds that the Treasures of All Heavens could open up in the future.

...

Meanwhile.

Heaven Origin City.

Two streaks of Escape Light, one after the other, landed on a white jade plaza.

"Qingxu..."

A woman cultivator in white robes and veil immediately approached upon seeing Fang Xi, a flash of joy appearing in her eyes: "Sir, I’m so glad to see you well and safe, I was somewhat worried before..."

"Haha, Fei Xue lass, you are mistaken this time. Even though this old man arrived late, ’Qing Hezi’ wouldn’t have come to any harm."

Qingxu Child said with a gentle smile, then added, "With the imminent attack of the Monster Clan on the city, I’m planning to hold a meeting three days from now, calling for all cultivators above Integration to participate. It will be a good opportunity to announce some things..."

He smiled meaningfully at Fang Xi, "At that time, you must come, young friend."

"Certainly!"

Fang Xi cupped his fists in agreement, only to see Qingxu Child drift away leisurely with his hands behind his back.

"Qingxu’s actions are always so carefree and unrestrained..."

Ji Feixue smiled, "Are you a cultivator who has just arrived in Heaven Origin City? Let me arrange accommodation for you..."

"Hmm."

Fang Xi nodded, then casually asked, "Is Immortal Xie well-acquainted with Qingxu?"

"Qingxu had a great debt of gratitude with my family forebear... The establishment of the Black Tortoise Pavilion owes much to his renowned name as well." Ji Feixue replied earnestly.

’No wonder the Black Tortoise Pavilion claims to have branches spread across the human territory, so it has the support of such a Mahayana Monk...’ Fang Xi thought, proceeding alongside Ji Feixue.

The city was filled with an atmosphere of tension and unease. Everywhere, one could see high-ranking cultivators in armor patrolling.

Most of them were at the Transcendent God and Returning to Emptiness levels.

With Fang Xi and Ji Feixue’s Integration cultivation, the other cultivators naturally stepped aside, and with Ji Feixue leading the way, they moved unhindered through the city.

Before long, they arrived at the center of Heaven Origin City, at a white snowy mountain.

"Hmm? The spiritual mechanism here..."

Fang Xi paused, "Seems to be... Immortal Qi?"

Immortal Qi only existed in traces within Immortal Jade and could directly increase the Magic Power of cultivators above Returning to Emptiness.

Furthermore, it seemed that there were no native Immortal Jade veins in the Earth Immortal Realm.

"Exactly... This is an ’Fake Immortal Vein’ formed through Arrays, created with a large amount of Immortal Jade..."

Ji Feixue explained to Fang Xi, "This array can diffuse Immortal Qi, enhancing our cultivation, and quickly restore Magic Power... Although this ’Fake Immortal Vein’ can only last for a hundred years and requires a constant input of Immortal Jade, it’s a small benefit to us high-level cultivators in times of war."

"That’s quite thoughtful."

Fang Xi exclaimed with a sigh.

Even just this single Fake Immortal Vein is quite beneficial to cultivators at the Integration stage.

Considering the immense investment from the human race alone, one can see the significance.

’Indeed, in any era, war is always the most costly...’

He silently sighed in his heart.

Looking around, he saw mountains like jade, encircled by a series of Dongfus constructed one after another.

At the lowest level, the Dongfus were almost touching each other, roughly the size of ordinary human residences, densely packed.

From time to time, one could see streaks of Returning to Emptiness Escape Light flying in and out...

"To reside in ’Immortal Jade Mountain,’ one must at least be at the Initial Stage of Returning to Emptiness, otherwise, it’s more harmful than beneficial..."

Ji Feixue said, "Our Integration cultivator Dongfus are located on the mountainside... Sir, you may choose any unoccupied place you like."

She led Fang Xi to the mountainside of Immortal Jade Mountain.

The Dongfus here were much larger, occupying about an acre of land each.

They could not be compared to those luxurious palaces stretching as far as the eye could see.

But feeling the richer Immortal Qi in the void, Fang Xi nodded to himself in approval.

His Divine Consciousness swept over, and those occupied Dongfus naturally lit up with Array radiance early on, bluntly repelling his Divine Consciousness.

Then, he chose a place, "There will be fine."

The Dongfu Fang Xi chose was located on one side of the mountainside, secluded with a lush green bamboo forest and a jade-belt-like stream meandering around it.

Upon entering the Dongfu, he was startled to find the vast area inside; clearly, these Integration Dongfus had been sacrificially refined into ’Cave Heavens.’

While it seemed to occupy just an acre, the interior space was extremely vast and perfectly suited for practicing magic arts, raising Spiritual Beasts, Taoist Soldiers, and more.

White jade-paved floors, and a living room ceiling inlaid with fluorescent stones resembling diamonds.

Ji Feixue first showed Fang Xi around, then bowed respectfully, "Fei Xue thanks you, Sir, for saving my life. My Black Tortoise Pavilion will surely do everything to repay you!"

Fang Xi sat still, gracefully accepting the bow.

Although he killed Saint Lu Xing primarily for a fragment of the Treasures of All Heavens, saving a life obviously required a grateful response.

Otherwise, setting a bad example for the future conduct of the human race would be detrimental to everyone...

"I just happened to be there at the right time..."

He first humbly shook his head, then continued, "I’ve heard... Sir Ji is a renowned Array Grandmaster of the human race, with achievements in arrays ranked among the top three. I am but a humble Array Master myself and have many questions I wish to ask Sir Ji for guidance."

"Array Master?"

Ji Feixue was taken aback, then her gaze towards Fang Xi grew more favorable, feeling the kinship of fellow professionals.

"What issues does Sir have? I will do my utmost to answer them..."

She asserted confidently.

This was the confidence of an Array Grandmaster in their own expertise!

"Excellent..."

Fang Xi smiled faintly, took out the Taiyi Sutra, and a light screen appeared, on which the Eight Diagrams were constructed.

"Sir, this auxiliary Array treasure is quite remarkable, comparable to my ’Heluo Array Map’..."

Seeing the ’Tai Yi,’ Ji Feixue showed no surprise.

After all, Array Spirits were basic constructs, and the intelligences of some powerful array spirits far surpassed that of ’Tai Yi,’ even capable of directly transforming into human form, indistinguishable from ordinary cultivators.

Fang Xi took out the Taiyi Sutra just for the sake of demonstration.

Accompanied by the activation of his Divine Thought, the Eight Diagrams transformed, revealing an Array Map.

"Sir’s understanding of arrays is extraordinary, having entered the seventh rank already..."

Ji Feixue’s eyes displayed seriousness, "This Array Map seems to involve ’Fusion Array’ and ’Stacked Array’ techniques. I’m not very skilled, but I happen to have studied this area and hope to provide some reference for Sir..."

She extended her finger, and a certain Array Gate within the map changed, altering an array pattern, which made the array much smoother.

"Immortal Ji... That move is wonderful indeed."

Fang Xi observed the change and his eyes lit up; then he too pointed his finger.

On the Taiyi Sutra, complex and mysterious array patterns emerged, forming an array of vividly colored prohibitions...

At first, Ji Feixue could comfortably respond from her seat, but as time progressed, answering became increasingly challenging, sometimes even requiring extended contemplation to provide an uncertain answer.

Her gaze towards Fang Xi shifted from initial teaching to equal discussion and even began to contain a hint of seeking advice.

Dong!

Time passed without notice, and suddenly, a dragon-like bell sound thundered across Immortal Jade Mountain, pulling the two immersed in the array path back to reality.

"It seems, unnoticed, three days have passed already?"

Fang Xi stood up, stretched leisurely, and said, "Thank you, Immortal, for your guidance. We must have more of these in-depth discussions in the future..."

"Sir Qing Hezi, your proficiency in the array path is no less than mine, and we shall definitely exchange insights soon..."

A gleam in Ji Feixue’s eyes sparkled like morning stars.

Her exchange with Qing Hezi on arrays had brought her many benefits, and she was astonished as to how the human race could bear such an Array Grandmaster without any prior news about him.

The two exchanged smiles and walked out of the Dongfu, transformed into two Escape Lights, and arrived before a massive green stone Great Hall in Heaven Origin City.

One by one, Integration cultivators donned in golden armor stood solemnly on both sides, like guards.

Fang Xi settled his Escape Light and saw a remarkable array of Integration cultivators entering the hall.

Inside the Great Hall, numerous green stone chairs were arranged on both sides, and more than fifty Integration cultivators were already seated, with others continuously entering.

At the most prominent position, there were five chairs, four of them unoccupied at the moment.

On the only occupied one sat a small, kind-eyed monk, crossed-legged—it was Jin Gangzi!

From their seating, it was clear that the status of the Five Sons of Human Race was distinct from that of ordinary Integration cultivators!

Jin Gangzi glanced at Fang Xi but did not recognize this ’Qing Hezi.’

After all, the Self-transforming Demon True Skills were most adept at transformations, and Fang Xi had already reached the Middle Stage of Integration.
