Professionals of the Starry Skies - Chapter 468

[Chapter 468: Fusion]

Chapter 468: The combined
spiritual world.

Jiuxiang Palace.

The palaces are extremely deep and there are nine huge incense burners lined up on the square.

The incense burner is brass in color, with mountains, trees, flowers, birds, insects, fish, and mountains and rivers on its surface…

Wisps of spiritual smoke curled up from the incense burner and turned into light clouds, which always enveloped the palaces.

These clouds have been specially refined and have the effect of assisting spiritual practice, calming the inner demons, and awakening spiritual wisdom. They are the sacred objects of practice that all spiritual practitioners yearn for.

In the spiritual world, Jiuxiang Palace is famous. It is one of the three ancestral lands of the human race in the spiritual world, along with Donglong Imperial Court and Lingyue Sect, and is presided over by a Mahayana ancestor.

This day.

In a palace, a large seismic instrument suddenly made a roar.

“Huh? Did the ancestor personally order us to pay special attention to the fact that there are cultivators ascending from the Qianyuan lower realm?”

Several Taoist children rubbed their eyes and immediately stepped forward to watch the changes in the Nine Dragons circling the seismograph: “The earthquake is in the east, so it should be in the East Dragon Continent, which is still the territory of our Jiuxiang Palace…”

“Locate it immediately. Also, report to all the combined elders immediately!”

An older Taoist boy gave orders, then made a hand gesture, and a flash of spiritual light turned into a wisp of flame, which lit a green incense stick.

In the air, a Taoist priest with white hair and youthful face appeared, “Nine Dragons Underground Palace, what do you want to report to me?”

“Reporting to ‘Elder Dixiang’, there are cultivators from the lower realm of Qianyuan ascending, and the seismometer has captured their fluctuations… It should be within the sphere of influence of the Donglong Continent and Qiyuan Temple.”

While the Taoist boy was reporting, other boys were also busy, locking down a more detailed range.

“Qiyuan Temple? Very good… It is a subordinate force of my Jiuxiang Palace and has a teleportation array.”

The Taoist priest with white hair and youthful face was overjoyed: “This elder will set off right away. If you can capture the person who ascended from the lower world, you will all have made great contributions!”

“Thank you, Elder!”

The Taoist children were all overjoyed, feeling that the achievement was as easy as taking candy from a bag.

After all, the monks who ascended to heaven are all in the initial stage of refining emptiness.

And Elder Dixiang is in the fusion stage!

In the spiritual world, although the Mahayana cultivators have the highest level of cultivation, these cultivators are elusive and only focus on ascending to become immortals.

The ones who truly dominate a region are still the combined monks.

Even Elder Dixiang is not considered a weakling among the cultivators in the fusion stage.

It would be an easy task to capture a cultivator in the early stage of Void Refinement, even if that cultivator had amazing magical powers.

…

Spirit world.

Somewhere in Donglong Continent.

There was a flash of light in the void, and Fang Xing’s immortal clone emerged.

“Is this the spirit world?”

Fang Xing looked up and saw two suns, one large and one small: “Hmm… the spiritual energy in the void is just average, slightly stronger than the Qianyuan Immortal Cultivation Realm…”

His spiritual sense expanded rapidly, and he found a large city nearby, and even swept across it directly: “Interesting… In the spiritual world, mortals and immortal cultivators live together. This place is the ‘Three Flower City’, which belongs to the Seven Yuan Temple. This Seven Yuan Temple has a cultivator of the Void Refining Sect, who is in charge of the 132 cities nearby, and is also a small overlord…”

In the spiritual world, a Lianxu cultivator is already a high-level cultivator, and his status is similar to that of a Jindan cultivator in the Qianyuan world.

If one does not provoke any powerful force, it will be enough for one to establish a sect in some remote place and act tyrannically.

But at this moment, this was not what attracted Fang Xing’s attention.

His mind merged with the heaven and earth, and he felt the information coming from the spirit world:
“In the spirit world, cultivators below the Void Refining Stage will only face tribulations when they break through to a great realm. But it is different above the Void Refining Stage. A Void Refining Stage cultivator will face a ‘Sanjiu Heavenly Tribulation’ every thousand years, and the power will continue to increase… A Fusion Stage cultivator will face a ‘Sixty-Nine Heavenly Tribulation’ every two thousand five hundred years… A Mahayana Stage cultivator will face a ‘Ninety-Nine Heavy Tribulation’ every five thousand years. If you can’t make it, you will die!”

“As expected… Immortality that is easily obtained will always have consequences.”

“However, compared to the Qingyuan Realm, the lifespan of the ninth level of the Yuanshen and even the Yuanshen Overlord is only ten thousand years, which is already very good.”

Fang Xing sighed.

There are many benefits to being an immortal. Not only can the spirit of a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage merge with the heaven and earth and refine the void, but he can also directly contain the power of the ‘Great Way of Immortality’ and have an endless lifespan.

However, this kind of life span is fake! It is not ‘real longevity’!
Not only will the life span dissipate immediately when leaving the radiation of the Great Dao of Immortality, but also will face various heavenly tribulations every once in a while!
“Only the thirteenth realm true immortals who have fully mastered a law can completely have no worries about life span and tribulations… Therefore, those great masters will ignore external affairs and only seek to ascend to the immortal world… They are forced to do so by the knife of heavenly tribulations hanging over their heads.”

Fang Xing stood there doing nothing and refused to leave.

He waited for a moment longer, and finally felt a powerful divine sense sweeping over him: “This reaction… is a bit slow, but is it finally here?”

With his speed, he could have gone far away after ascending and had no fear of being encircled and attacked.

But I waited here on purpose just to fish.

“The malice in that divine consciousness just now was not concealed at all, and it was very powerful… It should be a cultivator in the Fusion Stage.”

Fang Xing nodded and waited for a moment. Then he saw a beam of light flying over and a Taoist with white hair and a youthful face appeared.

The fluctuations of his magical power are as deep as the sea, and his spiritual awareness is incomparably powerful.

Among the cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation, the difference of one major realm is like the difference between heaven and earth, it is a complete crushing defeat.

“You are in the early stage of refining emptiness, and you are filled with the turbid air of the lower world.”

Elder Dixiang held a spirit bead in his hand, identified it, and sneered.

The aura of the cultivators who have just ascended from the lower world is subtly different from that of the native cultivators in the spiritual world.

According to this principle, Jiuxiang Palace specially created the “Dust-Seeking Pearl”, which can find monks who have just ascended to heaven within a certain range.

Of course, once the ascended cultivator lives in the spiritual world for a few years, the so-called “worldly turbidity” will almost disappear, and this kind of Dust-Seeking Pearl will be of no use at all.

“Tell me… what happened in Qianyuan’s lower world? What happened to my disciples from Jiuxiang Palace? And… where is that treasure?”

Elder Dixiang looked high and mighty, as if he were interrogating a prisoner.

“Your Excellency is so arrogant…”

Fang Xing shook his head and sighed.

“I know that you, a cultivator from the lower realm, are used to bullying others. It’s a pity that this is the spiritual world, where dragons have to coil and tigers have to lie down…”

Elder Dixiang smiled contemptuously and opened a scroll with a glittering light: “Well… If you don’t tell me, I will throw you into this ‘Eighteen Incense Bones Hell Map’ and give you a good beating before interrogating you…”

He clasped his hands together and runes appeared on the scroll in his hand.

The scroll slowly unfolded, with a strange fragrance filling the air, and petals covering the surroundings, blocking the void.

Most of the battles between cultivators above the Void Refinement Stage involve the void.

Therefore, most treasures above level six have the ability to seal the void!

Swish!
Swish!

One after another, white bones walked out of the scroll, and they all had the magical power fluctuations of the late stage of refining emptiness.

“First seal off the heaven and earth, and there are still eighteen white bones refining the void… Oh, the real killer is actually the flower fragrance in the dark? It’s actually similar to a soul attack, which is really interesting.”

Fang Xing commented with a smile.

“Humph, you are stubborn!”

Elder Dixiang snorted coldly, but was also surprised by Fang Xing’s sharpness.

“Maybe he has cultivated some kind of spiritual eye technique, which has made him more sensitive…but the gap between the two realms has already been determined.”

As soon as he thought about it, eighteen white skeletons of gods and demons formed a formation and fell down with a loud bang.

At the same time, there were black round shields blocking in front of them.

As a cultivator, being cautious has become a kind of instinct.

The next moment!
Swoosh!
A sword suddenly rose up, like a sky full of stars, with a white rainbow in the middle, emitting a hint of gold and silver, and slashed at the white bone demon.

Swish!

The sword energy that could break everything burst out and instantly killed a white-bone demon.

Not only that, Fang Xing opened his mouth slightly, and a purple-green fire line emerged and fell on the surrounding blockade.

“Great swordsmanship, great spirit flame!”

Elder Dixiang exclaimed in praise, but his expression did not change much.

Although the outburst of this cultivator in the early stage of the Refinement Void Realm was quite astonishing, he was even able to kill the White Bone Demon God in the late stage of the Refinement Void Realm.

But considering the other party’s identity as an ascended monk, it is not difficult to understand.

The talents, luck and understanding of this kind of ascending monks are all amazing. As long as they don’t die in the middle of the journey, they can often become big figures in the spiritual world.

“If that’s all…”

He sneered and his spell changed.

The remaining white bone demons roared, and the jade-like bones on their bodies scattered, and then quickly reassembled to transform into a six-faced, eighteen-armed white bone demon dragon. An aura far beyond the refining void level burst out, and surprisingly reached the fusion level.

“Sure enough, to deal with these Ascended monks, we cannot use Void Refining monks, but must use a higher realm and crush them with the force of a mountain crushing an egg…”

Elder Dixiang thought to himself.

In the history of the spiritual world, there are indeed examples of ascended monks being easily suppressed by powerful beings in the integrated state.

Of course, there are also those who are truly beyond measure. They can kill those in the Fusion Stage when they are in the Refinement Stage. They are the seeds of true immortals, and there may not be one such among the thousands of ascending cultivators from the lower realms.

The white-bone dragon roared and roamed among the stars. The countless sword energies could only leave slight marks on its body.

Just as the white-bone dragon opened its bloody mouth and was about to fall, Elder Dixiang saw a familiar Yin-Yang ring appear in Fang Xing’s hand.

Then… a ray of innate yin-yang magnetic divine light shot up into the sky, like a magic sword.

Puff!
The white bone dragon was instantly split into two.

Dots of purple-blue flames instantly burned on Elder Dixiang’s scroll…

“Liang Yi Huan, it’s you!”

Elder Dixiang was extremely shocked and angry, but also a little confused.

The Liang Yi Ring is indeed magical, but his ‘Eighteen Incense Bones Hell Map’ is a true seventh-level combined treasure with infinite uses. Not only is the quality of his treasure higher, but his cultivation is also one level higher. How could he be at a disadvantage?
“It seems that you are going to die.”

A rotten iron sword appeared in Fang Xing’s hand, and a sword sound rose into the sky.

“It’s just a virtual refining…”

Elder Dixiang clasped his hands together, and infinite spiritual light emerged. A large number of lines of law gathered together to form an ochre-colored “body of law”.

In a flash, he seemed to have turned into a “Law Giant”!
The Immortal Path Fusion Stage is when the law perception reaches the fourth level of “Law Body”, which is combined with oneself and has infinite power!
