Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 384

[Chapter 383 Evergreen Destruction (Subscription Request)]

A swamp.

Several thousand-year-old wood ghosts roared in unison, like guarding tree men.

“I just want one of your Spiritual Source Pearls… Why are you so stingy?”

Fang Xi shouted coldly and waved his hand.

A blood-red lightning flashed across the sky, hitting a wood ghost!
In the blink of an eye, the wood ghost was turned into ashes by countless blood-red lightning.

Upon seeing this, the other two wood ghosts immediately retreated back into the swamp and dared not to show up again.

Fang Xi’s face lit up with joy when he saw this, and he quickly cast a spell towards a stone platform.

Buzz!
The stone platform roared, a crack appeared, and a rich spiritual energy flowed out.

Then…

A spiritual source bead slowly flew up from it and fell into Fang Xi’s hands.

“It is indeed a Spirit Source Pearl. Its quality should be better than the one at the previous auction…”

After a careful inspection, the joy on his face became even more intense.

On that day, Fang Xi used a little trick to trap the Lord of Qianji Palace, and then immediately escaped thousands of miles away.

However, I didn’t expect to find a Spirit Source Pearl when passing by this swamp. It was a pleasant surprise.

“Forget it… There are more and more high-level cultivators entering now, so why not go to the Qing Emperor Palace first!”

After putting away the Spirit Source Pearl, Fang Xi recalled the map given by the old ghost.

This is where he has an advantage over other Nascent Soul cultivators. He doesn’t have to rush around like a headless fly, but can go straight to the heart of the matter and find the most precious spiritual object.

Moreover, they will soon reach the end of the map given by Lao Gui.

“I don’t know what kind of benefit Zhan Tu got… He has the guidance of the old ghost, so he must have gained more than me.”

Fang Xi sighed, feeling a little hopeful.

Just think about it and you will know that the benefits that Laogui gave to Zhan Tu must be more than those given to himself.

He turned into a green light and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.

…

Qingdi Palace.

This palace is located in the center of Changqing Garden and is a complex of buildings stretching over a hundred miles.

The four sides of the building have flying eaves, painted walls, carved railings and jade bricks, and the whole thing exudes a light green aura, shrouded in a layer of green mist, so only the outer situation can be roughly seen.

Even so, those strict runes and restrictions made Fang Xi gasp.

And around the Qingdi Palace, there were always several powerful spiritual senses lingering, which made Fang Xi dare not get too close.

He thought about it, came to a jungle, and put his hand on an ancient tree.

Instantly, he seemed to feel the breathing of the ancient tree, the rotation of the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, withering and flourishing…

Not long after, a green light flashed from a spiritual flower, and a man walked out of it. It was Zhan Tu who came here through the Wood Release Technique!
“We meet again.”

Fang Xi greeted him and stared at the exhibition map inconspicuously: “Daoyou, you have gained a lot…”

“Alas, there’s no need to say more… I encountered two Yuanying old ghosts chasing me, and I lost the treasure I had finally obtained…”

Zhan Tu’s face was full of bitterness, and he didn’t know whether it was true or false.

“The Green Emperor Palace is in front of us, but there seem to be several Yuanying old monsters entrenched nearby… It’s hard to take action.”

Fang Xi suddenly sighed, and then stared at the picture with a burning gaze: “I wonder if Brother Old Ghost has any advice for me?”

Zhan Tu’s eyes instantly turned yellow and misty, and he said in an old voice, “Don’t pay attention to them… It’s not the time for the Qing Emperor Palace to be truly opened yet.”

“Really open?”

Fang Xi was a little confused.

“Hehe… This palace is the most strictly restricted place in Changqing Garden… After it was sealed off, it is impossible to enter it unless Changqing Garden is mostly collapsed.”

The old ghost explained calmly, “But fellow Daoist, please rest assured. By that time the secret realm collapses, it will be too late even if there are still high-level cultivators coming in. We just need to go straight into the Green Emperor Palace, take away the treasure, and then use one of the ancient teleportation arrays to leave.”

“It sounds so easy for me to enter the Green Emperor Palace and take away the treasures while being watched by so many Yuanying monsters…” Fang Xi said with a hint of joking, “I have already got what I wanted, and I will not take such risks with you guys again…”

“Hehe… Then, fellow Taoist, how are you going to get out?” asked the old ghost calmly.

“With so many cultivators coming to the secret realm, there must be a way out…” Fang Xi answered neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Just as the atmosphere between the two sides was becoming increasingly tense, Zhan Tu suddenly spoke up: “You two don’t have to be so hostile… I think the island owner is also willing to help us, but there are conditions.”

Immortal cultivators are all shrewd people, so they naturally know what each other wants to say, but it is obvious that the old ghost will not give in on his own initiative, so they need to show the picture and give him a way out.

“That’s right… If you can give me the Divine Transformation Chapter of the Withering and Flourishing Art, or the advanced magical power of ‘Withering and Flourishing Mysterious Light’, I don’t mind risking my life to accompany you and go crazy with you.”

Fang Xi said calmly.

“Haha… Fellow Daoist, why do you care so much about the Divine Transformation Technique? Are you sure that you will be able to succeed in Divine Transformation in the future?” The old ghost laughed.

“You don’t need to know this.”

Fang Xi’s expression gradually turned cold.

“Even though I have these two inheritances, I cannot easily pass them on due to certain vows.”

The old ghost suddenly said: “What’s more… I don’t have the subsequent magical powers of Ku Rong Xuan Guang… But… there may be related inheritances in the Qing Emperor Palace.”

“Doesn’t that mean there’s nothing to gain? You want me to take risks with you two just based on the possibility of something existing?”

Fang Xi suddenly smiled brightly: “You two should know that this is impossible.”

The old ghost was silent for a while, as if he was weighing something, and finally snorted coldly: “I don’t have the complete chapter of the withering and flourishing art of the spirit transformation… but there is a fragment that tells the secret of the withering and flourishing art of the Nascent Soul to the spirit transformation… Theoretically, with the withering and flourishing art of the late Nascent Soul, it should be possible to cultivate to the early stage of the spirit transformation. This is the final bottom line.”

“That’s fine.”

Fang Xi thought about it for a while, and felt that there was nothing more he could do to get the old ghost to do this, so he nodded.

The old ghost threw out an emerald green jade slip, which was caught by Fang Xi, who then began to examine it bluntly.

The old ghost looked at all this, but sneered in his heart: “The technique is of course real, but I don’t know if you have the life to practice it… You haven’t even achieved the Nascent Soul stage yet and you are already aiming too high… If it weren’t for the need to have more helpers for the trip to the Green Emperor Palace, there would be no need to do this… However, as long as this person dies in the Green Emperor Palace, it won’t be considered that I have broken my oath.”

Next, Fang Xi and Zhan Tu hid in the jungle, using the essence of plants and trees to cover themselves.

I don’t know how much time has passed…

Boom!
The ground shook, and the wooden walls outside Changqing Garden began to collapse piece by piece… A bright silver space storm flashed by, sweeping up pieces of spiritual land.

The ground trembled slightly and finally spread to the woods.

“Evergreen destroyed, the Green Emperor appears!”

“I have waited for so many years, and finally I have waited until today.”

From an ancient tree, the old ghost’s thin voice came out: “Zhan boy, it’s time to take action.”

Snap!

A layer of bark was torn off, revealing Zhan Tu’s figure.

But at this moment, his face was haggard, his cheeks were sunken, and his limbs were as thin as sticks, like a mummy.

This is the secret technique that comes with the ‘Art of Withering and Flourishing’ – the Art of Enduring Death!

It is often used when a monk is seriously injured, and he restrains all his vitality and falls into a deep sleep to heal his wounds.

With a slight improvement, it can become like rotten wood, not leaking any breath, and hiding among the lush spiritual trees that can be found everywhere in Changqing Garden, which will complement each other even more.

On the other side, Fang Xi also walked out of a tree hole, still looking like a handsome young man.

“Is it time to start?”

Fang Xi murmured.

“Of course, but we’d better change our appearance first.”

The old ghost chuckled and said that it seemed that he had offended many monks before.

“Well, that makes a lot of sense.”

Fang Xi thought of the Lord of Qianji Palace, and immediately took out a piece of human skin from the storage ring, put it on his face, and changed into a black robe. He looked like a Jindan demon cultivator with a layer of dark demonic light covering his face.

Zhan Tu didn’t know how to perform the secret technique and turned into a handsome scholar in ordinary clothes.

“We don’t care about ordinary Jindan cultivators anymore, but we need to pay more attention to those Yuanying cultivators…”

“Let’s go!”

The two joined forces and flew towards the Qingdi Palace.

…

The Qingdi Palace at this time was very different from before. Countless mists dissipated, and another green beam of light shot up into the sky.

The dazzling light was clearly visible within a radius of 100 miles!
At this time, the restrictions surrounding the palace seemed to be dissipating little by little.

At this time, many monks had gathered in the square in front of the main gate.

Most of these cultivators are at the Jindan stage, and they are vaguely led by Yuanying cultivators, forming several circles.

The white-browed young man was playing with the ice mirror in his hand, glancing at the many cultivators present, especially at the faces of those Jindan cultivators, with a thoughtful look on his face.

“What’s going on? Could it be that my disciples have offended the Ice God Palace?”

The Lord of Qianji Palace looked at the few remaining disciples being targeted by an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage, and his expression became a little solemn.

“Not really… I didn’t expect that the Yuanying cultivator from the East Sea also knew the name of my Ice God Palace.”

The white-browed young man said calmly, “I am just looking for the remnants of the Qingdi Mountain… Fairy, please don’t misunderstand me.”

“I see… The reputation of the Ice God Palace in the Northern Plains cultivation world is well-known to me in the East Sea as well.”

The tone of the Qianji Palace Master immediately softened a bit: “Does Daoist friend’s precious mirror have the magical power of ‘breaking delusion’?”

The two Nascent Soul cultivators wanted to talk for a few more words, but they saw a stream of yellow sand falling like a giant dragon, and a big man in linen clothes and barefoot walked out of it.

This man had tiger eyebrows and leopard eyes, slightly curly and burnt yellow hair, and his aura seemed to have reached the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage.

Some demon cultivators from the Western Desert immediately stepped forward and bowed, “Greetings to Master Qiansha…”

Master Qiansha looked indifferent. He glanced around and landed on the white-browed young man and the Master of Qianji Palace: “My useless disciple is dead…”

The white-browed young man sneered, “Once you enter the secret realm, do not complain about life or death. Don’t say it wasn’t me who did it. Even if I killed him, do you still want revenge?”

The Qianji Palace Master’s expression changed: “My two Taoist friends, please don’t be so hostile… I have met an old demon in the Nascent Soul stage. This person likes to bully the weak… Maybe Master Qiansha’s beloved disciple was also killed by this person…”
