Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 725

[Chapter 723 Five Hundred Years in a Hurry]

Ten years later.

The earthly immortal world and the heavenly Brahma city.

In the cave.

Fang Xi was a little surprised: “I have been waiting for ten years, why hasn’t the ancestor of the Yu family come to my door yet?”

He was quite looking forward to the wealth of the fusion monk.

But ten years later, news of Yu Shusheng’s death had already spread. Not only did the Yu family not take any action, but even the Hanquan Chamber of Commerce was shrinking, as if they were preparing to run away, which made Fang Xi speechless.

He was also prepared to secretly attack and kill the other party as soon as the ancestor of the Yu family arrived and started the investigation to prevent future troubles.

What the hell is going on? The Yu family just admitted defeat and ran away.

Fang Xi thought about it and there were only a few reasons.

The first is that the ancestor of the Yu family was tied up by other important matters and was unable to leave the sword domain.

The second is that the ancestor of the Yu family has long passed away, and the Yu family is now just an empty shell.

“But this doesn’t make sense… A Fanxu died in the Yu family, so we should at least send a Fanxu to investigate, right?”

“Now that you are doing nothing and just admit defeat and leave, there must be someone in a higher position giving orders. Without the cultivation of the fusion body, you can’t suppress the Yu family’s return to the void below…”

“Then the third reason is the most likely.”

Fang Xi touched his chin.

The third possibility is that the ancestor of the Yu family studied divination as a minor, or possessed some magical power or treasure that could predict good and bad luck, and when he divined a “sign of great misfortune”, he was so scared that he admitted defeat directly, and it was even more impossible for him to come to the Tianfan Realm to die.

“As expected of an old immortal who has lived for tens of thousands of years, he must have some skills…”

Fang Xi felt a little regretful.

Why can’t these enemies come one after another like in novels?

Now that no one is bothering him, it is obviously impossible for his technique of summoning the original body to play as a substitute to get a response.

Therefore, it is better to continue to cultivate the various treasures and magic fire, collect materials by the way, and become a trader.

After the counterattack and becoming rich, Fang Xi finally understood everything.

He worked so hard to conduct trade between the two worlds, but in fact the income was not as much as that from killing people and robbing… Of course, this was also related to the fact that he had some concerns and did not dare to trade too large.

Suddenly, Fang Xi’s expression changed as he sensed two divine level magical power fluctuations approaching rapidly.

Moreover, he was very familiar with those two auras.

During these ten years, the gluttonous hermit would occasionally visit him, bringing with him all kinds of exquisite delicacies, as if he wanted to borrow Fang Xi’s tiger skin.

Fairy Pu often brought fresh spiritual tea to taste tea and discuss Taoism, and would linger for months.

Yun Xi and Liu Xu, on the other hand, came less often, but their friendship was by no means weak.

Not long after, two beams of light entered the cave. They were Yun Xi and Liu Xu.

“My two Taoist friends, it’s been many years since we last met. How have you been?”

Fang Xi couldn’t help but smile when he saw this.

He could see that Yun Xi and Liu Xu had made great progress in their cultivation, and their speed of improvement even surpassed that of Gui Fu and Tu Mo who stayed in the lower realm.

In fact, in terms of qualifications and talents, these two women are still not as good as the two venerables Guifu and Tumo.

However, due to different environments, the circumstances are also very different.

It is easier for a cultivator who has reached the state of transformation to practice or break through bottlenecks in the earthly immortal world than in the lower world.

Not to mention, the two girls also caught up with the great land reclamation.

Although the mission is somewhat dangerous, the rewards are also very generous.

The environment is good and there are resources… Even if you start off poorly, you can quickly catch up or even surpass others.

“Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Yun Xi.”

Fang Xi glanced at Fairy Yun Xi and said with a smile: “With your cultivation level, you should be able to break through the bottleneck of Return to Void in a few hundred years…”

After all, they are ascended monks, and each of them is a genius in the world.

It is quite normal that after settling for such a long time, there is a chance to return to the void.

Upon hearing this, Fairy Yun Xi smiled bitterly: “I am indeed confident that I can cultivate to the Perfect Spiritualization Realm within a few hundred years, but I really don’t have the confidence to impact the Return to Void Realm…”

“Sister Yun Xi, why don’t you worry too much? With the combined efforts of the two of us, our contributions over the years are enough to exchange for a spiritual item that will be helpful in breaking through the bottleneck of returning to the void or the right to use a treasure for overcoming the tribulation…”

Liu Xu consoled him, “When the time comes, if you spend some more spirit stones, you might be able to buy a Return to Void Spirit Item at a big auction, and then you’ll have a good chance of winning.”

“Top-grade spirit stones are not competitive with returning spirit objects… When the time comes, I can exchange them for some fairy jade for you.”

Fang Xi thought about it and spoke.

After all, he ascended from a small world, so I have to take care of him.

“Thank you, fellow Taoist.”

Yunxi and Liuxu were both very happy.

The main reason they came here today was to play a supporting role. This kind of assistance in breaking through to the Return to Void realm requires a life-long friendship before they would be willing to ask for it. Otherwise, they might become enemies if they are not careful.

Now Fang Xi is willing to exchange a batch of fairy jades for them, which is already a great favor.

“Not only Yunxi, I will also do the same when you, Liuxu, break through.”

Fang Xi put on a good show and promised generously.

“Thank you, fellow Daoist. Now I am finally confident that I can break through to the Return to Void realm…”

Fairy Yunxi smiled.

The three of them had a very pleasant conversation. Fang Xi also discussed his experience in cultivation and gave a few pointers, which made the two girls very happy and they thanked him and left.

He looked at the two girls’ escaping light, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes: “It seems that these two girls must have obtained some opportunity and are certain about breaking through to the Return to Void Realm, so they started planning this matter early…”

This was a clue that the two girls gave Fang Xi when they were discussing the Dao.

Fang Xi didn’t take it seriously.

The chance to break through and return to the void? He no longer needs it.

“With the contribution points accumulated by these two girls, what they can exchange from the ‘Tian Mei Sect’ is basically an item of the ‘Fan Yin Jin Ling’ level. If they can buy an auxiliary breakthrough elixir like the ‘Liang Yi Po Xu Dan’ from the auction, in fact… the chances are only 50-50!”

Breaking through this great realm is a huge challenge even for a talented ascending monk.

The cultivators who have reached the stage of transformation into a spirit are only the backbone of the earthly immortal world, but after reaching the stage of returning to the void, they become the true middle and high-level cultivators.

The status of the Wang family in Yaoyue Fairy City can be seen from the breakthrough of the ancestor of the Wang family.

“The two girls are lucky to have encountered a large-scale land reclamation…”

“If I really encounter some great opportunity, returning to the void won’t be difficult.”

Fang Xi smiled slightly and went back to continue his retreat…

…

Time passes slowly.

More than four hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The human world.

In the earthly fairyland.

The muscles all over Fang Xi’s body had a jade-like luster, and every inch of them seemed to contain a power comparable to that of an ancient wild beast.

Snap!

He pressed casually, and the tables and chairs made of fifth-grade top-grade materials actually began to show cracks!

“Alas… the Heavenly Demon’s true body is too strong, which is not a good thing!”

Fang Xi thought about it, took out a talisman and pressed it against his chest.

As invisible symbols like pitch-black chains wrapped around his body, he felt as if he was wearing a thick layer of clothes, and the originally surging power was also restrained.

Of course, this is just a stopgap measure after the breakthrough in supernatural powers.

If you really want long-term peace and stability, you must familiarize yourself with the new power and be able to control it with ease.

For Fang Xi, this was not a difficult task, it just took some time to adapt.

Thinking back on what he had gained over the past nearly five hundred years, Fang Xi couldn’t help but sigh with satisfaction.

In the previous hundred years, through continuous trial and error, he finally completed the inheritance of the sixth-level ‘Small Void Transfer Talisman’ and successfully refined the first talisman. Although it was only an inferior product, after finding the path, everything went smoothly.

After comprehending the secret talisman for about two hundred years, Fang Xi had become able to skillfully draw an authentic ‘Small Void Transfer Talisman’, with a success rate of about 30%.

For a sixth-level talisman master, this success rate is already quite good and can bring a lot of profit.

When Fang Xi occasionally went to the Earthly Immortal Realm to enjoy himself as the ancestor of the Wang family, he would disguise himself and release a small amount of these sixth-level talismans, which made it rumored in Yaoyue Immortal City recently that a great master of talismans who was hiding his real name had come to the local area…

In addition to the breakthrough in the art of talismans, Fang Xi also made rapid progress in the art of formations.

At this moment, he seemed to remember something, and with a tremor of his hand, a black dragon flag of Xuanming appeared in his hand. It was the “Xuanming Flag”!
He got this treasure from the incarnation of the outsider just to deduce a new Xuanming formation.

Thanks to the Wang family’s tireless efforts to explore overseas immortal palaces for hundreds of years, especially that Li Ruling, who was lucky enough to find a fragmentary formation map, Fang Xi was overjoyed and directly bought a copy of the “God-Transforming Ointment” at a big auction held in Yaoyue Immortal City and gave it to this person as a reward!
Although the formation map was very fragmented, it was probably only one-eighth to one-sixth of the original.

However, based on the many array patterns obtained before, Fang Xi used his own attainments in array formations and Taiyi as a computing tool, and simulated calculations for many years, and finally gained some basic knowledge of the Immortal Palace’s large array.

“disease!”

At this moment, Fang Xi clasped his hands together, and streams of Xuanming heavy water gushed out from the Xuanming flag.

Within the Xuanming heavy water, there are also pieces of Xuanming magic sand and endless poisonous fog.

At the bottom of the Nine Netherworld River, there seemed to be an extremely large dragon lurking…

Crash!
The Nine Netherworld River’s Mysterious Sand!
The Nine Netherworld River’s Mysterious Sand Formation emerged, and dark light pillars fell one after another. In this formation, another level of change occurred.

Amidst the roar of a large number of formation patterns, endless essence of Xuanming heavy water was refined and concentrated… and finally transformed into a mysterious black divine light!

“Xuan Ming saves misfortune and eliminates darkness with divine light!”

Fang Xi murmured and said the name he had chosen.

This ‘Xuanming Divine Light for Delivering from Evil and Eliminating Darkness’ is the supreme magical power he cultivated based on the ‘Nine Netherworlds Dark River Mysterious Sand Array’, adding the mysteries of the array he learned from the overseas immortal palace array. It is currently at the sixth level!

Its function is also very simple. For cultivators who are hit by this divine light, if they are in the Return to Void Stage, most of their mana will be suppressed.

If it is in the Spirit Transformation Stage, his cultivation level will be directly knocked down one level and he will temporarily regress to the Nascent Soul Stage.

For cultivators who have reached the fusion stage or above, it cannot affect their magic power much.

But when combined, even a physical practitioner would be weakened by the divine light in this formation!
“The Nine Netherworld River Mysterious Sand Formation can only have some of the charm of the overseas immortal palace formation after adding the ‘Mysterious Darkness Deliverance and Elimination Divine Light’!”

“It’s a pity that due to my current attainments in formation, it still has no effect on the combined cultivators…”

Fang Xi had envisioned a great formation of three elements: happiness, wealth and longevity. Now, longevity and wealth have both been satisfied, and only happiness is missing.

“Fortune means luck and opportunity…”

“So it really depends on the luck Gu?”

He sighed and stopped practicing the formation.

Today’s earthly immortal spiritual realm has expanded several times compared to five hundred years ago. Under the leadership of the divine bean spirit general, many yellow bean warriors have reclaimed tens of thousands of acres of spiritual fields.

In the secret realm, you can see exotic flowers and plants, wild ancient forests, and rare and exotic animals everywhere.

Of course, what made Fang Xi most gratified was that the mother energy of all trees had finally reached one thousand acres!

He took a deep breath, pulsating with the spirit realm.

At this point, Fang Xi’s cultivation of the Withering and Flourishing Art had reached the peak of the early stage of Return to the Void, and he could try to break through to the middle stage.

When a Return to Void cultivator breaks through a realm, there will be a small heavenly tribulation!

Fang Xi originally wanted to try to survive the tribulation in the human world, but he immediately felt the danger.

This was a sudden impulse of the cultivator. Obviously, not only could the calamity not be eliminated in the human world, but something terrible might happen!
According to his original idea, the power of the human world interface was weak, and perhaps the power of the heavenly calamity would be much smaller.

This book was recently updated on ##六@@九@@书@@吧!! Update!

But now it seems that if things go wrong, it might become even more terrifying, such as being directly unacceptable to the world!

Even if he has the inheritance of an earthly immortal, it is better not to take risks in this regard.

Fang Xi then decided to go to the Earthly Immortal Realm to transcend the tribulation.

His cultivation has now reached the peak of the early stage of Return to the Void. As long as he is willing, he can sprint through the bottleneck of the middle stage of Return to the Void at any time.

For many cultivators in the Earthly Immortal Realm, a breakthrough to each small realm of Return to the Void requires more than a thousand years of hard work.

Especially to break through the bottleneck, it takes at least a long time of preparation, constant polishing of spiritual consciousness and magic power, and even finding auxiliary elixirs, before one can have a certain degree of confidence in the breakthrough.

However, for Fang Xi, who has cultivated the inheritance of the Earth Immortal, the Earth Immortal spiritual realm has now reached the requirements, and the mid-term bottleneck can be easily broken.

This is not easy!
The higher the realm of cultivation, the greater the suppression of each small realm!

Theoretically, a cultivator in the middle stage of Return to Void can easily defeat or even kill a cultivator in the early stage of Return to Void.

Only a talented cultivator like Fang Xi, who was beyond the standard and had a replica of a rare treasure from the immortal palace in his hands, could barely pull off the reverse slash.

“Not only that, after breaking through the middle stage of Return to Void, the speed of accumulating Ten Thousand Wood Mother Qi should be able to increase a bit…”

Now that he was about to break through to the middle stage of Return to Void, Fang Xi did not set off immediately. Instead, he left the Earth Immortal Realm with just a thought.

The human world, the southern wilderness, Wandao Lake.

Ever since Fang Xi and others ascended to heaven, Penglai Island in the East China Sea has been the only dominant island in the human world.

The Water Patriarch of Penglai Fairy Island, known as the number one cultivator in the human world, almost unified the Northern Plains, the Western Desert, and the gradually recovering Middle-earth, but he always gave the Southern Wilderness a break and never invaded at all.

Today, the Wandao Lake in the Southern Wilderness is the leader in the Southern Wilderness due to its extremely rich spiritual vein resources and the ancient teleportation array, and is home to many Nascent Soul cultivators.

——Fang Xi has been living in seclusion ever since he started practicing the way of the earthly immortal. He doesn’t care about the affairs of the human world at all and never shows up.

Even though there are descendants of the Zhong family, the Ruan family, Wang Xiaohu, Hai Daniu and others on Wandao Lake, for him, the grace of a gentleman will be cut off after five generations. Today, those families on Wandao Lake have been gone for more than fifty generations, and there is basically no feeling of closeness at all.

In terms of the feeling of closeness, she is not even as good as Shui Lingxin from the Donghai.

After all, this woman was suspected to be the reincarnation of Wei Yixi, and even after breaking through the spirit transformation, she called herself “uncle”…

“By now, Shui Lingxin is about to ascend to heaven?”

Fang Xi prepared to go to Beiyuan to see this girl off.

It can be considered as putting an end to a worry, and then I can break through to the middle stage of Return to Void.

Back then, Shui Lingxin, as the second god-transforming immortal on Penglai Fairy Island, had responsibilities to her master. Her cultivation had just broken through to the god-transforming stage, so she reluctantly gave up on ascending to heaven and watched her master, Fairy Yun Xi, and Fang Xi leave.

Facts have proved that that ascension was a rare event in the human world. Liu Xu, Yun Xi, and even Xiao Qing and Da Qing… all ascended to the earthly immortal world smoothly under the protection of the outer incarnation. Now, their cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds, and Fairy Yun Xi is about to break through the bottleneck of returning to the void.

Shui Lingxin is in charge of the human world and is very diligent. Not only has his own cultivation level broken through to the middle stage of the God Transformation, he has also mastered a magical power of the void, so that the risk of taking the ascension platform is extremely small. He has also trained another God Transformation for the sect to ensure that he can take over his responsibilities and ensure the safety of the Taoist inheritance.

It can be said that his life in the human world was quite fulfilling.

Fang Xi was not going to show up and disturb the other party’s mind, he just took a look from a distance…

Previously, the space node where he stored the Earthly Immortal Realm was located in the Southern Wilderness Immortal Cultivation Realm.

At this moment, there was a flash of light, and Fang Xi’s figure in a green robe appeared on the shore of Wandao Lake.

“To get from the Southern Wasteland to the Northern Plains, you can now directly cross the Great Dream Lake and head north… You can get there by flying straight, but it’s a little far away. If you use the power of Return to the Void, it will make too much noise…”

“Why not go to Emerald Island and take the ancient teleportation array? It only takes one stop…”

With his current means, he could naturally leave without anyone noticing on the ancient teleportation array – this small area in the human world was not worth Fang Xi wasting a fairy jade to set up a few space coordinate nodes.

Splash!
A green boat broke through the morning mist and sailed through the lake.

Fang Xi stretched out his hand and gently paddled the slightly cold lake water, somewhat wanting to release Da Qing.

But then I thought about it and decided to forget it. After all, this stupid fish still thought he was in the earthly immortal world…

Although, with his current strength, these are not important.

Even if he was exposed, no one could trouble him…

Suddenly, from the mist came the gentle singing of a young girl.

The song is clear and melodious, as beautiful as a yellow oriole.

Then, a spirit boat emerged from the fog, rowed by a slim young girl, accompanied by a girl of about seven or eight years old.

“This fellow Taoist…”

The graceful girl who was singing the song saw Fang Xi’s boat moving without wind. The cultivation level of the man in green clothes was hazy and could not be seen clearly. She couldn’t help but smile: “But you also want to go to Emerald Island and participate in the event?”

“Emerald Isle Gala?”

Fang Xi looked confused.

After all, he had never been interested in paying attention to a group of Jindan and Yuanying cultivators playing house.

“Yes… Wang Tianjun of Emerald Island has finally broken through the bottleneck of the late Nascent Soul stage and become a great cultivator!”

The girl said with reverence, “This move has completely solidified the reputation of our Wandao Lake Nanhuang Holy Land… It is said that this Wang Tianjun was born in Taohua Island, and his ancestors were related to the ‘Dragon Fish Island Master’ who ruled for an era!”

With reverence on her face, she spoke of the many great deeds and anecdotes that Wang Tianjun had done when he started out.

For example, he had a natural spiritual root and amazing aptitude, and he broke through the foundation-building stage and formed a pill very quickly, and even successfully condensed his Nascent Soul at the age of 160!
After that, he killed the evil cultivator who was causing trouble, and his name spread across the three countries of Yue, Wu, and Mu!

At this time, he was promoted to the late Nascent Soul stage and became the master of Emerald Island. He has a good chance of becoming a god in the future!

It is said that in order to celebrate the other party’s advancement to the late Nascent Soul stage, a three-month banquet will be held on the Emerald Island, and many auctions and trade fairs will be held. This can be regarded as a rare event in the world of immortal cultivation in the Southern Wilderness.

The young girl had just started to cultivate her Qi, but she was also bringing her nephews and nephews with her to the island to reunite with the elders of her family and broaden their horizons.

Of course, it would be even better if these youngsters could gain the favor of a senior cultivator and be accepted as disciples.

Thanks to the intimidating reputation of the great monk Wang Tianjun, there are no foolish robbers who dare to rob those who go to Emerald Island to celebrate, so the journey is relatively safe. It is a rare opportunity.

“I see……”

When Fang Xi heard that he was the descendant of Wang Xiaohu, he couldn’t help laughing.

Back then, he was quite supportive of the Ruan and Zhong families. Later, the Hai family also relied on the persistence of their ancestor Hai Daniu to gain the upper hand on the Emerald Island.

Unexpectedly, after thousands of years, the Wang family, which had little presence, was the one that really stood out!
‘Too much support will lead to dependence, and lose the spirit of the cultivators who fight for their lives against the heavens…’

Fang Xi quickly figured out the reason.

However, this is just a personal choice. Today, the Ruan family and the Hai family are still not to be humiliated. They even have certain interests on the Emerald Island and have been recognized by Wang Tianjun…

He had no choice but to admit it. Wang Tianjun had met the ancestor of the East Sea Water, so he naturally knew that the reason why the immortal cultivation world in the Southern Wilderness could remain stable until now was due to the legacy of the Lord of Dragon Fish Island.

Since we are relying on the legacy of the Dragon Fish Island Master, we must naturally take good care of the other party’s deceased relatives…

As a great cultivator, if he had not made this choice, he would not have been able to condense his Nascent Soul.

“Uncle, do you want to eat lotus seeds?”

Behind the girl, the little girl was holding a handful of fresh lotus pods in her hand and asked with a smile.

“OK!”

Fang Xi raised his hand and with a burst of magic power, he retrieved a lotus pod. He peeled open the pod casually, dug out the sweet and tender white lotus seeds, and threw them into his mouth. He could feel the fragrance filling his mouth, but also a little bitter…

“This fellow Taoist, no, could it be that the senior is a foundation-building cultivator?”

The Qi-refining girl who was holding the paddle was surprised to see Fang Xi use his power so effortlessly.

“Foundation building… major repair? That’s really a far-fetched term.”

Fang Xi smiled, and with a flash of green light in his hand, he took out two fruits from the Earthly Immortal Realm and threw them back onto the Spirit Boat: “You treated me to lotus seeds, so I will treat you to two fruits as well…”

The boat flashed under his feet and the figure disappeared.

…

A few days later.

Beiyuan, the ascension platform.

Along with the roar of the formation, a huge crack in the void emerged.

Shui Lingxin looked back at the human world for the last time, and then without any hesitation, she turned into a stream of light and entered the ascension channel.

…

The earthly immortal world, the Tianbra Camp.

Yingxiantai.

Originally, this place was divided into dozens or even hundreds of small welcoming platforms, each corresponding to a different lower world. Later, after several reforms, they were merged into one.

Fang Xi suspected that this was done by King Kong Zi to disgust Chang Qing Zi on purpose…

A flash of silver light passed by.

Many monks in the Tianfan Camp had solemn expressions, knowing that another ascended monk had arrived.

“Welcome fellow Taoist to ascend to the earthly immortal realm. I am Hua Yan from Tianfanying…”

Hua Yan was smilingly introducing the rules of the Earthly Immortal Realm to Shui Lingxin when a streak of light suddenly flew into the military camp and landed with a loud bang.

The terrifying Return to Void level magic power made the surrounding cultivators change color.

“So it’s Senior Fang. Respectfully welcome Senior Fang back to visit the old place.”

Hua Yan’s expression changed, and then he bowed respectfully.

Even though the other party has left the Tianfan Camp, as a powerful person who has returned to the void, he has made friends with many commanders in the Tianfan Camp, so it is very easy to kill him, so we have to be respectful.

“Are you… Senior… Fang?”

Shui Lingxin looked at Fang Xi and said in a daze.

“That’s right… I’m here to take you home.” A smile appeared on Fang Xi’s face.
