Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 652

[Chapter 650: Cultivating Great Divine Powers]

A few days later.

A beam of light quietly left the Xianyuan Market, flashed a few times in the sky, and then quickly disappeared.

Amidst the light of escape, Fang Xi secretly recalled what the owner of Xiyu Tower had mentioned before about the forces of the Minghuan Realm.

“The entire Minghuan Realm is dominated by humans, and the largest forces are still the Brahma, Taoism, and Demon schools…”

There aren’t any big demonic forces in this world, and Brahma, Taoism, and Mo are all human cultivators, so this can be considered an internal fight among humans.

After all, without powerful external enemies, it is normal for human cultivators to fight among themselves.

“The biggest demon sect is naturally the original demon sect, while the most respected one in the Brahma sect is Guanglei Temple, and the most respected one in the Taoist sect is Taiqing Sect… These three major sects have always had masters who have achieved spiritual enlightenment and even ascended to heaven…”

It is not difficult for a cultivator to ascend to the heavens. It is not necessary to cultivate to the perfection of the divine transformation. One can also walk on the ascension platform…

“Among them… there may be more than one Divine Transformation cultivator from the original Demon Sect…”

As for how many such cultivators there are, perhaps only the Original Demon Sect itself knows the answer.

Anyway, the master of Xiyu Tower is just a Yuanying, so he definitely doesn’t know the inside story.

“None of these three forces are suitable for me… So, is the only one left ‘Li Gou Immortal City’?”

Fang Xi was thoughtful.

Li Gou Immortal City itself possesses a fifth-order spiritual vein and is also a holy place for independent cultivators.

Rumor has it that there is even a Divine Transformation cultivator in this city, and it is maintained by a loose force called the Xiaoyao League!
‘Even if it is a Divine Transformation cultivator, at this point, will a large number of forces gather around him consciously or unconsciously?’

In the human world, being a spirit is already at the top level.

Therefore, it is completely understandable that there are monks who want to cling to others, and they also need people to serve them.

It can be said that both parties got what they needed.

Fang Xi had already obtained the map of Minghuan Realm from the owner of Xiyu Tower. He escaped at an extremely fast speed and arrived at a plain after several days.

To the west of this plain is a vast desert. On the boundary between the desert and the plain, stands an ancient and old city of immortal cultivation.

Fang Xi even used his divine sense to take a quick look and found that many mortals were mingling around the city, as if they were hoping to gain an immortal chance one day. Countless cultivators and supplies were constantly gathering here.

He didn’t care about anything else and flew straight to Li Gou City.

On the walls of this city, there are countless rays of light that interweave with each other and form a city-protecting formation.

However, this kind of place has a large number of people coming in and out every day, and a gate formation was deliberately left there. For Fang Xi, it was extremely easy to sneak in.

He used the breath-hiding technique to find a flaw at random, then entered the city and headed straight to where the god was…

…

Xiaoyue Lake.

This lake covers a vast area and is located on the best spiritual vein node in the city, with extremely beautiful scenery.

There are even monks patrolling nearby. The environment is quiet and suitable for secluded practice without worrying about being disturbed by the outside world.

In the center of the lake, there is an island with several Zen rooms built on it.

A pretty and solemn nun wearing a white monk’s robe was sitting cross-legged in meditation when she suddenly heard a long whistle in her ear!
“Which fellow Taoist played this joke on me?”

The nun was startled and chanted the Buddha’s name loudly.

His figure flashed and appeared in the sky outside without knowing how.

This is the secret teaching of the Brahma sect – the Mind Light Escape Method, which is said to be as fast as the mind can reach there, and the speed of escape is truly unbelievable.

At this moment, the nun saw a young man in blue standing with his hands behind his back, looking at the surroundings with great interest.

What made her even more awed was that an aura of magical power that far exceeded her initial stage of transformation was slowly awakening from the young man and was pressing towards her bit by bit.

“Incarnation…late stage?!”

The nun’s heart was slightly moved. She couldn’t help but smile bitterly and put her hands together: “I am Zhuiyue, a poor nun. Nice to meet this great monk…”

While performing the ceremony, Zen Master Zhuiyue was also quite surprised.

When did such a fellow cultivator appear in the Minghuan Realm?
It is impossible for someone who can cultivate to the late stage of the transformation of the spirit to remain unknown.

“So it’s Master Zhuiyue. Yun Jiezi greets you here.” Fang Xi bowed and said with a smile, “I was traveling in the void and was accidentally caught in a void storm. I was stranded in this world. I want to find a place to stay and practice hard, waiting for my ascension in the future… I heard that the Fan family has opened the door to convenience, and Master has always been willing to help others. I hope that my journey will not be in vain…”

“So fellow Daoist is actually a person from the lower world?”

Zen Master Zhuiyue was slightly surprised, but then he felt that this was very reasonable.

Otherwise, there is no other explanation.

Her heart moved slightly, and a smile appeared on her face: “It is an honor for our city that fellow Daoist can choose Li Gouxian City. I will immediately summon several managers to announce this matter…”

Even if a Divine Transformation cultivator wanted to join the three major sects of the Taiqing Sect, the other party would certainly be extremely happy and would agree immediately.

“No need…”

Fang Xi waved his hand and said, “I am most afraid of trouble. The reason I came to Li Gou Immortal City is just because I think this place is a good place for cultivation… Please don’t publicize this matter, Master.”

He just came to find a fifth-level spiritual vein to practice in peace, not to become king.

Different needs naturally lead to different approaches.

“So you are a dedicated practitioner, I admire you.” Master Zhuiyue put his hands together and said, “Let’s just leave it to you.”

“Thank you for your help, Master. I have nothing to repay you. Master, you have aura, so you must have practiced the Brahma body-refining technique. I have a bottle of ‘Fa Ti Dan’ here, which can help us improve our magic power. At the same time, it has a strong medicinal property and can also temper the body. I will give it to you, Taoist friend.”

Fang Xi smiled slightly and threw a jade bottle over.

Zen Master Zhuiyue took it and with just a quick glance, he knew it was a rare elixir.

Her heart moved, but she was more shocked.

After all, she hadn’t really used the body-refining technique yet, but Yun Jiezi, who was standing opposite her, had seen through some of her details, which almost made her feel terrified, as if she had been seen through…

At this moment, he silently chanted the Heart Purification Mantra, and his heart finally became calm again: “Thank you, fellow Taoist…”

…

Island in the middle of the lake.

Fang Xi chose a place, built a hut and lived there, becoming a neighbor of Zen Master Zhuiyue.

The spiritual energy of this island in the middle of the lake is abundant and it is very elegantly maintained, so he is quite satisfied with it.

In the thatched cottage.

The thatched cottage seemed narrow and closed at first, but it turned out to be a different world once you entered it.

The first thing that comes into view is a huge living room. The top wall is inlaid with various pearls, which continuously emit light like stars in the sky.

By entering from different passages, you can go to the study, alchemy room, talisman-making room, animal pen, medicine garden… it’s a different world.

This is also the norm in the Minghuan Realm. This realm has a lot of experience in refining void treasures. Among the many formation books, there are formations that are specifically used to arrange this kind of space expansion method in the cave.

Fang Xi just made some random arrangements, then entered the secret room and began to meditate.

“Although there is no requirement for spiritual energy to practice ‘Taishang Beidou Siming Shenguang’, you can practice the exercises at the same time…”

He has obtained the entire “Art of Withering and Flourishing”, and now he is back on the right path. This period of time cannot be wasted. It is a good opportunity to quietly accumulate magical power in order to reach the realm of perfect transformation more quickly.

“If you want to advance to the Return to Void stage, you can find a secret method for refining five-element spiritual objects in the Withering and Flourishing Art… These five-element spiritual objects must be at least level five, which is actually quite extravagant…”

This pure essence of the five elements, after reaching the fifth level, becomes the best material for refining pure-attribute spiritual treasures.

Fang Xi couldn’t even get them all together in his hands!

“From the perspective of comprehending this secret method, if one can find a spiritual treasure with the four pure attributes of water, fire, earth, and gold, and then refine it into one’s body, it can be of some use…”

“But what I want to follow is the path of the unity of the three energies…”

Although no matter what secret method is used to break through and return to the void, the initial stage of returning to the void is almost the same, but the success rate is different!

In the secret technique of breaking through and returning to the void that Fang Xi mastered.

The success rate of combining three qi into one is the highest!

And refining the five elements spiritual objects comes second.

Directly make the incarnation of the outsider return to its original nature, and the unity of good and evil ranks third.

The next step is to practice the Five Elements or Three Wonders techniques, swallow the ‘Liang Yi Po Xu Dan’, etc…

As for the method of metal and wood restraining each other in the “Wood Blade Technique”? It is the one with the greatest risk and the lowest success rate. After all, it is a new method and is not perfect yet.

Fang Xi naturally chose the ‘Three Qis in One’ method, and it would be best if he could combine it with several other secret methods to maximize the success rate and ensure that the breakthrough to the Return to Void was successful in one fell swoop!
“Three Qis in One… The Qi of the Immortal Source is easy to find, and it can be collected in the lower realms. As for the Qi of the Heavenly Demon and the Qi of the True Demon, unless the passage to the Demon Realm and the Demon Realm can be opened immediately, it is more convenient to find them in the upper realms.”

These two materials are neither difficult to obtain. All you need to do is find two Return to the Void beings who practice pure demon and monster techniques.

But… Fang Xi is a human, and in the earthly immortal world, these three races are like water and fire.

That’s why Fang Xi thought about going to Sanjie Mountain.

If we were to ask where in the Earthly Immortal Realm the human race could easily obtain these two materials, it would naturally be near the Three Realms Mountain.

When thinking of the Three Realms Mountain, one thinks of the ascended Taoist Master Fangxian, and even Bing Xuanzi, and the fifth-order turtle monster.

“With the peerless appearance of Taoist Master Fang Xian, once he entered the Earthly Immortal Realm, he was like a dragon entering the sea. I wonder what the situation is like now… maybe he is about to return to the void?”

Fang Xi did not feel the slightest bit of jealousy.

Because he never compares himself with this person.

With the ‘Treasure Mirror of the Heavens’ and the ‘Inheritance of the Earthly Immortals’ in hand, as long as one practices diligently step by step, there is hope that one will ascend to the realm of true immortals in the future, and will even be much stronger than the average Yuanshen True Immortal.

He did not force himself to become an immortal, and was already quite satisfied with this.

After calming down a little and regulating his breathing for three days, Fang Xi closed his eyes slightly, and a secret method of dragon scripture emerged in his sea of consciousness.

Looking at these ancient seal characters that looked like flying dragons, Fang Xi felt a little surprised.

Over the past few decades, in addition to comprehending the secret arts, he often copied this kind of dragon seal and even wanted to imprint it on a jade slip.

As a result, these jade slips shattered one after another and were completely unable to carry the weight.

Perhaps only by using the remains of the golden cicada will there be some possibility of carrying it.

Fang Xi even suspected that if he had not already had the foundation of Long Zhangwen, even if he saw this technique in Chang Qingzi’s memory, it would quickly become blurred or even forgotten!
“Taishang Beidou…”

He murmured, and his expression suddenly became extremely solemn.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Xi closed his eyes, a flash of light appeared above his head, and a green main Nascent Soul emerged.

This Nascent Soul holds the Treasure Mirror of the Heavens, with many treasures flying around it, and the Fifth Generation Qinghe Sword is faintly regarded as the most respected.

Among the many treasures, a seemingly inconspicuous small seal flew out and landed in front of the Nascent Soul.

The seal is square and dark in color, and appears to be carved from black wood.

“This is actually my second life magic weapon…”

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

Fang Xi looked at the seal, and there was a bitter smile on his Yuanying little face.

His first life magic weapon is naturally the ‘Mirror of All Heavens’, and his second life magic weapon is actually this ‘Seal of Life and Death’, but its presence has always been weak.

Although this ‘Seal of Life and Death’ is actually quite powerful, its main material is a branch of the original demon tree, and it has been cultivated many times through the ‘True Art of Planting Treasures’, and has reached the highest level of perfection.

In recent decades, in order to cultivate the ‘Taishang Beidou Siming Divine Light’, Fang Xi took it out and cultivated it day and night without sparing any vitality.

At this point, I finally got promoted to the fifth level!
‘It is indeed much later than the Divine Infant Sword of the Outer Dao. There is nothing I can do about it. My main focus is on practicing and breaking through the realm. Where can I find extra vitality to cultivate treasures?’

“Even the Demon Locking Tower is only a fourth-tier elite product right now. It’s about to fall behind the latest version and be eliminated…”

“Instead of building this Demon Locking Tower, it is better to go find Bing Xuanzi. He has a fifth-level Demon Locking Tower in his hands…”

Fang Xi’s Nascent Soul thought quickly, and his little hands suddenly formed various spells.

Rays of light sank into the Seal of Life and Death, causing the seal to expand. The texture of the demon tree appeared on the seal body, and the virtual shape of the demon tree slowly emerged on the seal handle.

His expression remained unchanged and he made hand gestures.

Rays of purple light gathered and fell into the Seal of Life and Death, causing a few ancient dragon seal patterns to faintly appear on the bottom of the seal.

‘Ku Rong Xuan Guang’ requires at least a Jin Dan cultivator, and must be used in conjunction with a magic weapon.

If there is no trick or special spirit, you will not be able to practice it even if you obtain the skills.

At this time, if one wants to practice the advanced magical power Beidou Siming, one naturally needs to refine the magic weapon again.

Fortunately, the Seal of Life and Death has now been upgraded to the fifth level, otherwise it would be difficult to bear.

Fang Xi’s Nascent Soul continued to chant spells, and when he saw the Seal of Life and Death rapidly expand and shrink, with a purple glow appearing on its surface, he could not help but nodded and opened his mouth.

The fifth-level infant fire spurted out, continuously refining the seal.

This seal was refined and cultivated by him… The weapon spirit was quite cooperative, which made the refining process much smoother…

…

Time passes slowly.

Except for Zen Master Zhuiyue and a few high-ranking officials of Li Gou Immortal City, most cultivators did not even know that there was a Venerable Huashen who was practicing in seclusion on Xiaoyue Lake.

Fang Xi has always been a homebody, and he is at the critical moment of cultivating his supernatural powers, so it is impossible for him to come out at will.

Zen Master Zhuiyue observed for more than ten years and confirmed that this ‘Yun Jiezi’ was indeed a person who practiced hard and did not seem to be planning any conspiracy. Finally, he put his mind at ease and began to practice on his own.

For a being like them who has attained the state of spiritual enlightenment, a single deep cultivation might take dozens or even hundreds of years…

In the thatched cottage.

Colorful prohibitions are everywhere, and the evil spirit inside is rising, transforming into all kinds of hideous runes. It is obvious at a glance that there is a powerful formation guarding it.

In the secluded quiet room, Fang Xi sat cross-legged, holding a black seal in his arms. It was the Seal of Life and Death!
He didn’t know how long he had been sitting cross-legged, and there seemed to be some dust on his body.

Suddenly, Fang Xi opened his eyes. Those eyes, which had experienced the world but were pure in heart, shone with bright light like stars: “Rise!”

The Seal of Life and Death floated up into the air, and the shadow of the demon tree appeared above it.

The ten fingers of his hands kept changing, forming one seal after another.

In a trance, Fang Xi himself seemed to have transformed into a towering ancient tree, experiencing the cycle of withering and flourishing…

The next moment, an indescribable mysterious light appeared at Fang Xi’s fingertips, interweaving with the purple light on the Seal of Life and Death.

“The Great Big Dipper… Si Ru’s death!”

Fang Xi chanted a spell, and at the bottom of the Life and Death Seal, purple dragon patterns took shape completely. They covered the withered and flourishing mysterious light with difficulty, causing the mysterious light to suddenly have a hint of purple, and fuzzy dragon patterns gradually took shape.

After a moment, the wandering Long Zhangwen became blurred and disappeared.

Seeing this, Fang Xi just sighed and did not force himself to condense.

He has been practicing the ‘Taishang Beidou Siming Divine Light’ for so many years, and one of his experiences is that you can’t force it.

“In fact… with the help of the ‘Eternal Green Body’, I should be able to progress faster than many Qingdi Mountain cultivators… Now, I am only one step away from being able to completely cultivate this divine light to the entry level!”

“At that time, there will be a strange phenomenon in the heaven and earth, with an extremely powerful momentum, and it may even reach the earthly immortal world…”

After practicing till now, Fang Xi has a good understanding of the ‘Taishang Beidou Siming Divine Light’.

At this time, he had cultivated the Withering and Flourishing Art to the Great Perfection, and could easily kill a Jindan Yuanying cultivator. However, when fighting with cultivators of the same level, even if he wanted to reduce the lifespan of a cultivator in the early stage of Huashen, he would need to exchange his life in a one-to-one ratio!
Moreover, to reduce the lifespan of a cultivator in the Returning Void stage, one year might take thousands or tens of thousands of years, or even directly backfire on himself until his lifespan was exhausted and he died!

This is the limit of ‘Ku Rong Xuan Guang’!

However, the ‘Taishang Beidou Siming Divine Light’ can break this limit!

“Even if I only cultivate the ‘Great Northern Dipper Life Light’ to the entry level and then reduce the life span of a Divine Transformation cultivator, it will take me one year while the other party will need ten years…”

“And the power of this great magical power is that it can transcend great realms and reduce the life span of a Return to Void cultivator… Although, with the entry-level ‘Taishang Beidou Siming Divine Light’, I can only exchange ten years of my life for one year of the other party…”

The life span of a Return to Void cultivator is close to ten thousand years, twice that of a Spiritual Transformation cultivator!
This exchange ratio is obviously very disadvantageous!

“However, after reaching the minor success stage, about three years can be exchanged for one year of the life span of a Returning Void cultivator… When reaching the major success stage, the ratio will be one to one again!”

“It’s just… no matter how powerful this great magical power is, it cannot cross two realms… that is to say, even if I have cultivated the ‘Great Northern Dipper Siming Divine Light’ at this moment, I cannot do anything to the combined cultivators, unless they are promoted to the Return to Void Realm…”

Even so, it is still quite terrifying!
Especially with the demon tree’s ability to increase lifespan!
Fang Xi let out a long breath, a satisfied smile on his face: “Finally, I feel a little safe in the earthly world… No, that’s not right… With that ‘Chang Qingzi’ here, I’m afraid there will be a big hurdle to overcome in the future…”

…

at the same time.

In the Zen room of Zen Master Zhuiyue.

Golden swastika runes flickered and covered the surrounding walls.

“With this ‘Fanjing Wujian Ban’, even if you have achieved the Perfect Divine Transformation, you will not be able to eavesdrop on our conversation…”

Zen Master Zhuiyue held a string of Buddhist beads carved from ten thousand year old soul nurturing wood, twisting them one by one, and looked at the three great monks in the late Nascent Soul stage in front of him: “If you have anything to say, just say it…”

“Zen Master Zhuiyue…”

A purple-robed man with a tall stature and a dignified appearance bowed first, then stood up and said: “The original demon sect has gone too far… Now it’s the time we agreed on that year, and we don’t know what to do…”

“Those spiritual mines bring a lot of profit, but if they weren’t there, we would just be in a bit of trouble…”

Zen Master Zhuiyue twisted the Buddhist beads in his hand, his expression calm: “If the original demon sect had not almost started an all-out war with the Taiqing Sect and Guanglei Temple because of the death of the Saint Son of that generation, we would not have had the opportunity… Isn’t the profit of these hundreds of years enough?”

Her voice is like the mighty sound of a huge bell, which has the effect of cleansing the soul.

The purple-robed man seemed to have received a wake-up call, and his expression sobered up a lot. He smiled bitterly and said, “I am too obsessed with appearances… After all, those mineral veins combined can accumulate a ‘Ningying Pill’ every hundred years…”

“No matter how many Nascent Soul cultivators there are, they are useless without a Divine Transformation cultivator to guard them…”

Zen Master Zhuiyue disagreed with this.

At this moment, golden runes flashed.

Zen Master Zhuiyue paused for a moment as he was twisting the Buddhist beads. Suddenly, an angry look appeared on his face, and he chanted the Buddha’s name loudly.

A crack appeared in the restriction, allowing a flying sword made of the spiritual power of heaven and earth to fall.

A faint golden color appeared on her palm and she caught the flying sword.

A voice as gentle as jade came from the flying sword.

After hearing this, the faces of several Nascent Soul cultivators changed: “The Taiqing Sect is going too far… They are taking advantage of the situation like this?!”

“The Original Demon Sect is making things difficult for us. The Taiqing Sect is losing its status as a righteous sect…”

“The righteous and the evil… they are birds of a feather. In the world of immortal cultivation, it is still the law of the jungle…”

“How hateful, how hateful… We, the Free Cultivator Alliance, have finally built up our current momentum, are we going to fall again?”

…

Zen Master Zhuiyue’s expression remained unchanged as he just recited scriptures silently.

After a passage of scripture, she stood up and said, “The Great Qing Sect’s Divine Transformation Master suggested starting a battle to decide the ownership of the spiritual mine and even the next auction… This has already involved the foundation of Li Gou Immortal City, so we have to fight.”

“If a senior can help, perhaps there will be no danger…”

The purple-robed man said respectfully.

“Although I have inherited the legacy of my predecessors and practiced both Buddhism and Taoism, I have barely broken through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm, but it is only the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm… Old Min from the Taiqing Sect is in the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm…”

Zen Master Zhuiyue sighed and suddenly looked to the distance: “Now the good and evil sides have joined forces to attack… It seems that the foundation of our “Xiaoyao League” has been shaken… It can’t be resolved peacefully.”

“In this case, we still have to do it, and we can only ask that person to come out…”
