Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 679

[Chapter 677: Mount Xumi]

The Great Wilderness of Lei Ze.

According to legend, this wasteland is extremely susceptible to lightning strikes, hence the name.

In the wilderness, there lives a group of “thunder beasts”. These wild beasts are naturally good at controlling the power of thunder and lightning. The elites among them are comparable to the returning to the void cultivators, and the golden and silver lightning emitted by the thunder beast king can make the combined cultivators unable to avoid it.

Fortunately, ten thousand years ago, this group of “thunder beasts” disappeared for some reason, which gave the human race an opportunity to plan and develop the Lei Ze wilderness.

Even so, there are still countless rare and exotic animals living in this vast Lei Ze wilderness, and countless hidden dangers.

The human race’s previous attempts to open up new land had all ended in failure.

Now, another team that refuses to believe in evil has set out on the journey.

…

Swish!

The sky was always gloomy, with lightning flashing from time to time.

Boom!

Boom!

The earth trembled from far away to near.

If you look closer, you will find that it is a huge dark golden mountain with eight giant feet growing out and walking towards you.

Boom!

With every step it took, it sank deeply into the ground, making the surroundings seem like an earthquake.

If there weren’t a large number of Divine Transformation monks casting spells around the giant foot, it would probably be truly “stuck in the mud”, unable to move anymore.

“Prepare… to cast ‘Light Wind Technique’!”

Fang Xi also brought a team of Nascent Soul cultivators wearing black armor, guarding the edge of a giant foot that looked like a pillar of heaven.

As he transmitted the message through his spiritual consciousness, those Nascent Soul warriors quickly formed seals.

Green breezes emerged, with a few ancient seal characters faintly flashing in them.

The breeze wrapped around the giant foot that was like a pillar of heaven, making it seem a little lighter.

Chirp!

In the air, countless strange birds with black bodies and covered with scales were chirping and roaring, rushing towards the giant mountain.

This was a flock of birds that originally lived in a nearby jungle, but the giant mountain destroyed their habitat…

Crash!
The spiritual power of heaven and earth gathered and turned into countless water arrows. The water arrows fell from the sky like raindrops, as if they had eyes, and kept hitting the black scaly birds.

Fairy Yun Xi gave a light shout, and a giant blue figure appeared behind her.

The giant held the trident and swung it gently.

A huge white wall of ice crystals appeared, and the fish that escaped the net crashed into the ice wall and were exploded into meat paste.

“Chirp!”

Suddenly, accompanied by a hoarse and unpleasant voice.

From among the pitch-black strange birds, a huge black vulture with two heads suddenly flew out.

The wind and thunder it spewed out actually attracted the spiritual power of heaven and earth, transforming it into a two-color light blade that cut through the ice wall!
“A fifth-level monster?!”

Fairy Yun Xi screamed, and saw a huge black mouth falling from the sky, with a mouth full of sharp fangs, biting the two-headed monster bird.

Snap!

Along with an extremely crisp sound, countless cracks appeared on the protective light shield around the black vulture, and it shattered with a loud bang.

The bird let out a mournful cry, and it split into two. Its body split open on its own, turning into two black birds, which broke out to the left and right.

The pitch-black beak could only bite a vulture-like bird that broke through to the right. It chewed fiercely, and countless flesh and blood mixed with bones and feathers flowed down from the gaps…

The remaining strange bird that had luckily escaped turned into a beam of black light and retreated rapidly at an incredible speed.

It flew in among the remaining birds and uttered a mournful cry.

The remaining strange birds immediately screamed and scattered, no longer daring to block the advance of the huge mountain.

“Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist Kuang Tao!”

Fairy Yunxi looked at the mountain of flesh falling from the sky and couldn’t help but express her gratitude.

“We belong to the Yaksha Camp and are allies, so we should help each other.”

The gluttonous hermit laughed loudly, and then spat out a mouthful of saliva: “Pah… This strange bird is really disgusting!”

“With the cultivation of the Spiritualization, he can also split into two. This is similar to the magical power of the incarnations of cultivators like me. It is really difficult to deal with…”

Fairy Yun Xi said softly: “It is already very rare for Daoist Fellow Kuang Tao to kill half of his body…”

“In this vast wilderness of Lei Ze, I’m afraid the birds there are not even good enough… The real danger has not yet been seen.”

The gluttonous hermit sighed.

Upon hearing this, Fairy Yun Xi couldn’t help but show a hint of gloom on her pretty face…

…

The huge dark golden mountain moved forward for another month before stopping at a plain.

“The mountain is falling…”

A captain who had reached the perfect state of spiritual transformation released his spiritual consciousness and continuously transmitted messages.

“The mountain is falling…”

One by one, the captains used their power to pass this military order to every monk.

whoosh!

Rays of light flew rapidly, like quails fleeing for their lives.

Fang Xi also gave up guarding the “pillar of heaven” and followed the large army to evacuate thousands of miles away.

Boom!
It was like a mountain falling down.

Only then could we see the entirety of the huge mountain.

It retracted its eight giant feet that were like pillars of heaven, and golden lines flickered on the mountain.

Within a million miles, the vital energy of heaven and earth was trembling.

The dark golden mountains seemed to have taken root and stuck firmly to the plain.

Even more, the golden lines continued to combine to form a series of prohibitions, and a dazzling light emerged above the mountain.

Under the shining dark golden light, countless wild beasts around the mountain fled for their lives.

Among these wild beasts, there are also some strange creatures that are beyond the imagination of cultivators.

“What is that…?”

Yun Xi looked at a group of thunder rhinos and saw a white human figure mixed in with them. It seemed to be a human woman, and she couldn’t help but feel curious.

But the next moment, she saw the group of rhinos falling to the ground for no reason, and even their blood and energy had dissipated.

The white dress of the woman suddenly turned as red as blood…

“In the Earthly Immortal Realm, besides wild beasts, there are also various indescribable things… poisonous insects and snakes that can kill high-level cultivators are just the tip of the iceberg… There are also some strange and evil things that even a combined cultivator would flee when seeing them.”

With a flash of light, Liu Xu appeared beside Fairy Yun Xi and explained calmly, “That’s why the Yaksha Camp took the trouble to move this ‘Xumeru Xingshan’ here after accepting the task of opening up the wasteland… This ‘Xumeru Xingshan’ is a rare treasure. Not only is it very large, it is enough to serve as a temporary cave for cultivators like us. It has also been refined by the Brahma master ‘Vajra Son’ with Buddhist teachings for a hundred years, and 108,275 ‘Vajra Exorcism Secret Mantras’ have been engraved on the mountain, which is most effective in expelling evil spirits… With this thing as protection, at least we can have a safe place to stay in the Lei Ze Wilderness.”

After all, she had merged with a trace of the spirit of the celestial maiden, so she was not completely ignorant of the earthly immortal world.

However, that trace of spirit is very fragile, and the willow catkins can only trigger related memory fragments when seeing specific things.

“Xumeru Mountain, expelling evil spirits?”

Looking at the countless smoke and dust fleeing from this place, Fairy Yunxi seemed to be thinking…

By the time “Sumeru Xingshan” was completely stabilized, it had turned into a huge temporary camp spanning tens of thousands of miles.

From each monk’s private cave to the market town, military camp… everything is available.

Of course, when you are out, the conditions are simple.

The caves allocated to the various Divine Transformation Captains are only about a hundred miles in size.

The situation of the Yuanying warriors was even worse, only a few miles away…

Fang Xi obediently followed the many monks from the Yaksha Camp in the melee combat, and his performance was very mediocre.

When he returned to his cave, the first thing he did was to set up a formation to protect his privacy.

Most monks did the same.

“Sure enough, that Pu surnamed female cultivator and Xu Qingzi are also here…”

“Is it because of the Ascended Monk? He was assigned the most difficult mission…”

Thinking of this new land reclamation mission, Fang Xi couldn’t help but sigh.

Except for a small number of ascended monks who took the initiative to join the Brahma Sect, the rest of the monks either came to open up wasteland or were thrust into the most exciting battlefield with the ancient Taoists…

It can be said that the ending is not very good.

“No wonder there are so many talented people among the ascended monks… Because given the level of danger, those who are not talented enough would have died long ago…”

Fang Xi was speechless. After settling his own cave, he met with his allies such as Kuang Tao Jushi, and then went to the cave of his immediate superior, the Taoist Feixing.

This person is the commander of the Yaksha Camp, one of the powerful figures in charge of the land reclamation this time.

By the way, he was also the ‘mastermind’ who ordered the services of Fang Xi’s trio and the gluttonous hermit.

But after the actual visit, Fang Xi discovered that this superior’s attitude towards him was similar to that towards other Jindan cultivators, and was equally cold.

The relationship that Gu Daoren mentioned regarding mobilizing a commander from the Tianzhong Camp was a bit subtle.

“Perhaps, this Taoist Feixing really has a good relationship with the leader of the Tianzhong Camp…”

‘Or… in addition to receiving hints from his friends in the Tianzhong Camp, more importantly, he received orders from above?’

Fang Xi never hesitates to assume the worst of his enemies.

At this moment, a subtle association came to my mind.

Fortunately, Taoist Feixing did not make things difficult for him. After assigning him the task, he let Fang Xi go…

…

One month later.

Somewhere thousands of miles away from Mount Xumi.

Fang Xi released his spiritual thoughts, sweeping across the lush grassland beneath his feet inch by inch.

The so-called land reclamation… for mortals, is naturally to set fire to a piece of wasteland, then plow the land, remove large stones and stubborn roots, and then apply fertilizer and sow seeds… At the beginning, the land is poor in fertility and it is impossible to grow food, so you can only grow some things that are easy to grow.

For cultivators, opening up new land is a little different.

First, high-level cultivators need to use their spiritual sense to scan the land inch by inch to confirm that there are no hidden monsters or evil spirits.

Then the Yuanying warriors plowed the earth again, made a final inspection, and looted all the spiritual medicines and materials that could still be found.

As for those ordinary weeds?
They are things that only low-level monks and even ordinary people need to worry about.

In the world of earthly immortals, the range of the spiritual awareness of a cultivator who has reached the state of transformation of spirits is hundreds of miles, so the mission area assigned to Fang Xi is tens of thousands of miles!

Using spiritual consciousness hundreds of times is a huge burden for the cultivators who have reached the state of spiritual transformation.

Not to mention, some monsters and evil spirits even have the talent to be immune to “spiritual sense scanning”.

If you don’t look carefully, you will be the one who suffers in the end.

In fact, as long as the range is large enough, there will definitely be one or two strange species hidden and unable to be discovered by spiritual sense.

At this time, the Yuanying cultivator’s sweeping investigation is actually delivering the goods to the door.

Use their lives to warn the Divine Transformation monks of the approaching danger!

This is the cruelty of land reclamation!

Even though it is so cruel, it may not succeed in the end.

Of course, as dangerous as land reclamation is, the rewards are also great.

In such a remote place, the probability of producing various natural treasures is greatly increased.

Not to mention, once the land is successfully reclaimed, it will immediately become another fertile land for the human race. When the mortals multiply in large numbers, it may become the 100th ‘domain’ of the human race in the Earthly Immortal Realm. The first batch of cultivators who reclaimed the land will gain a lot of opportunities, break through the realms one after another, and eventually establish a sect like the ‘Xingchen Sect’, which has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, and is feared by all, and is also recorded in history.

After all, when the human race first appeared in the Earthly Immortal Realm, it only occupied a corner of the world.

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

The development to the current ninety-nine regions obviously relies on opening up wasteland!
Or in other words… plundering the land of foreign races!

There were still many alien races in the earthly immortal world, but they were gradually exterminated later.

The remaining dead species either fled to the ends of the earth or became slaves of powerful monks, such as the Winged Clan under Chang Qingzi…

Fang Xi was daydreaming when his expression suddenly changed.

A token appeared in his hand, dotted with bright stars.

But just now, one of the stars suddenly collapsed!
After that star, one after another stars went out…

“It’s Team Qianyuan!”

Fang Xi raised his eyebrows and immediately flew towards the direction of this team of Nascent Soul cultivators.

“Hurry, hold on…”

“Senior Huashen will be here soon!”

A cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, whose entire body was covered in black armor with only a pair of eyes showing, spoke in a stern voice.

All around him, black flags emitted black mist.

In the black fog, there are skulls that are constantly spewing out extremely cold corpse gas, forming a tight defense.

And in this wilderness, there is a gray-white shadow moving quickly.

He came in front of a Nascent Soul cultivator and pounced!
The Nascent Soul cultivator didn’t even scream, the protective light flickered slightly, and then suddenly collapsed, and the body in the black armor turned into a mummy.

“Sure enough… there are many strange things like this in the wilderness.”

The rest of the Nascent Soul cultivators took out talismans such as the “Zhengyang Talisman” and the “Exorcism Talisman” and fled in a hurry.

Just now, when they were cleaning up, they somehow encountered this gray shadow.

It has already killed the lives of many of its fellow Nascent Soul practitioners!

What was even more frightening was that the gray-white shadow that was originally half human and half beast had gradually taken on a human form!
On it, there suddenly appeared several painful faces, which were the several black-armored Yuanyings that had died after their essence and blood were sucked out!
The gray-white shadow flashed, and this time it chose this great monk in the late Yuanying stage.

The flags, black fog, and skulls around it seemed that they had no blocking power at all for the gray shadow.

With a slight pounce, it landed on the Nascent Soul cultivator.

‘My life is over!’

The Nascent Soul cultivator felt despair in his heart. The shadow was too sharp. The Nascent Soul cultivator who was hit could not even escape!

At this moment, a thunderclap suddenly sounded beside his ears!
Although the thunder was loud, it was not masculine, but rather carried a sense of evil.

It was the Demonic Thunder!
Boom!

As the lightning flashed, the gray shadow was bounced away.

Fang Xi stood with his hands behind his back, in mid-air, looking at the monster that appeared unexpectedly.

“Evil?”

He said to himself: “It’s quite similar to the style of the Red Sun Realm…”

The earthly immortal world is the source of all worlds and naturally possesses many characteristics of the lower worlds.

There is nothing strange about the appearance of evil spirits like the Red Sun Realm.

“It just seems that… thunder has little killing power against this thing.”

Fang Xi looked at the gray shadow retreating rapidly and opened his mouth slightly.

A dark demonic flame flew out and caught up with the gray-white shadow.

The six pitch-black devil flames only fluttered slightly and enveloped the gray-white shadow.

But under the burning of the devil’s flames, the opponent’s aura seemed to have not changed much!

‘Wrong attribute?’

Fang Xi clasped his hands together and the six devil flames kept changing color.

From the Three Yang Holy Fire, to the Ten Thousand Poison Demon Flame, to the Yellow Spring Will-O-Wonder Fire!
When the Six Paths Demon Flame were all transformed into the Yellow Spring Will-O-Wonder Fire, the gray-white shadow screamed and suddenly opened its mouth to inhale!
The Yellow Spring Will-O-Wonder Fire was aroused a little, making the gray-white color of its body more conspicuous.

Upon seeing this, Fang Xi’s expression changed and he began to urge with his hand gestures.

The color of the Yellow Springs ghost fire disappeared and turned into a red lotus.

Swish!

The red lotus wrapped the gray shadow and bloomed in the air, looking extremely beautiful.

But many Nascent Soul warriors retreated one after another.

They could clearly sense that each red lotus petal carried the power to easily burn them to ashes!

A red lotus blooms.

In the residual heat, flames continued to burn all around.

And outside the flames, a gray shadow was fleeing into the distance!

“It can actually ignore the spiritual flame…”

Fang Xi snorted coldly, and the ‘Xuanming Flag’ appeared in his hand.

It just shook, and a vast black river emerged, rolling up the gray-white shadow and swallowing it into the rolling black river!

“Thank you for saving my life, senior!”

Seeing that the monster was suppressed, many Nascent Soul cultivators breathed a sigh of relief and saluted.

“Forget it, continue searching!”

Fang Xi waved his hand, turned into a beam of magic light, and disappeared into the sky.

…

Mount Xumi.

After completing the task, Fang Xi returned to the cave to rest.

After clearing the wasteland this time, he was given a month’s vacation.

After all, several of his men had lost their Nascent Souls, and the Yaksha Camp was needed to replenish their ranks.

For a cultivator of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, he could only recover his spiritual consciousness once a month, and it was difficult to nurture his magic weapon!
Otherwise, how could he say that the land reclamation was difficult?
After Fang Xi meditated and adjusted his breath to recover his energy, he came to the cave of Fairy Yun Xi.

Liu Xu is not here at this time, and is said to be still on a mission.

However, Fairy Yun Xi finished her work several days earlier than Fang Xi and is also resting now.

“Fang Daoyou…”

Seeing Fang Xi coming, Fairy Yun Xi smiled bitterly: “The conditions in this Lei Ze wilderness are indeed extremely difficult. I really admire those predecessors who have overcome all difficulties in the history of the human race…”

“It seems that the fairy has also encountered something difficult to deal with?”

Fang Xi sighed: “My team encountered a gray-white shadow… Its magic flame is difficult to hurt, and its thunder magic can only have a deterrent effect. Fortunately, it does not understand the formation, so it can be confused, moved, and suppressed…”

“For us, the most terrifying thing in the wilderness is not the wild beasts…”

Fairy Yunxi suddenly lowered her voice and said, “It is said that the team led by ‘Daoyou Yu’ encountered something even more horrible than you. In the area he was in charge of, there was a strange blood pool. All the cultivators who approached it died for no reason. Even Yuanying cultivators could not resist this invisible curse… Daoyou Yu did not believe in evil and went forward to investigate in person. As a result, he also encountered a strange curse. Now he has returned to the camp seriously injured and had to freeze himself to wait for rescue…”

“Master Yu?”

Fang Xi was slightly surprised. This person was also an ascended cultivator, and even his magical powers were quite advanced. He had already reached the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

The result was that he was caught for no apparent reason!
“He has always been aloof and arrogant, and doesn’t associate with us. He is lucky to have survived…”

Fang Xi shook his head: “During the process of pioneering, even the Return to Void and Fusion cultivators have fallen.”

As soon as these words came out, Fairy Yun Xi’s face changed color: “Fang Daoist, don’t scare Yun Xi… Those are all ‘large-scale land reclamation’, which is only possible when we open up a whole area. Our small-scale land reclamation is much less dangerous…”

“Even so, if a spirit is not careful, it may fall…”

Fang Xi was about to continue chatting for a few more words when his expression suddenly changed.

Fairy Yun Xi’s expression also changed and she waved her hand.

Two black flying swords flew into the cave and landed in Fang Xi and her hands respectively.

After a quick scan with his spiritual sense, Fang Xi smiled: “So it’s the gluttonous hermit… Since he invited me, I should go and have a gathering.”

Fang Xi said so, and Fairy Yun Xi had no objection.

The two men transformed into a beam of light and flew to the cave of the Crazy Tao Monk.

He transformed this cave into a new ‘wine pool’ which gave off a strong aroma of wine, but the meat forest had disappeared.

“Fellow Daoist Fang, Fellow Daoist Yun Xi…”

The Crazy Taoism Monk was dressed in a pitch-black magic armor, and his aura was much more ferocious than before.

And beside him, Xu Qingzi, who had achieved perfect spiritual transformation, and the charming female cultivator named Pu were both there.

“The gluttonous hermit invited me, but I don’t know why.”

The situation was urgent now, and seeing that most people had arrived, Fang Xi started asking directly.

“Haha… It’s nothing, I just want to ask for your help to deal with some wild beasts!”

The gluttonous hermit waved his fat hand, and a stream of magic power flew out, transforming into a curtain of light: “This is the scene my team encountered while on patrol…”

Fang Xi looked carefully and saw a large lake as smooth as a mirror in the middle of a vast jungle.

Suddenly, two huge… antlers appeared in the lake?
There were countless forks on the antlers, each of which was more than ten feet long. Wild grass and plants grew on them, and various monsters and birds lived on them, just like an ecological island.

Under the antlers, a huge elk beast as big as a mountain emerged.

It roared, and rays of emerald green light flew out from its forked antlers, and one Nascent Soul cultivator after another fell…

“This is the area I am responsible for… There is actually a wild beast called ‘Wooden An’ entrenched in it. If I can’t destroy it, I’m afraid it will be difficult to pass the level of the commander. Therefore, I have to ask for help from fellow Taoists…”

The gluttonous hermit said sincerely.

“‘Wooden An’…” Fang Xi looked at this wild beast that looked like an elk with huge antlers and became interested: “Although its wood attribute magical power is sharp, it is only in the late stage of transformation. How can you not defeat it, fellow Daoist?”

The gluttonous hermit smiled bitterly and replied: “What if this ‘wooden anguish’ is not just one, but a group?”
