Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 755
[Chapter 753 The End of the War]
Early morning.
Fang Xi, who was meditating, slowly stood up.
Through a night of practicing the “longevity technique”, he gained a lot of life from the Ancestral Demon Tree.
After being nourished by the Eternal Evergreen Body, the feeling of emptiness in the body has now improved a lot.
He drank a cup of spiritual dew and began to cook today’s meal.
The staple food is still ‘Yuxu Rice’. These sixth-level spiritual rices are now growing very well in the earthly immortal realm.
Each grain is plump and emits an amazing aroma when steamed with spiritual water.
The miniature palaces within the rice grains seem to be surrounded by fairy air. Eating them is very good for replenishing qi and blood, and it tastes quite good.
While steaming the spiritual rice, Fang Xi came to a huge piece of monster meat as big as a mountain, took out a few pieces of the most essential parts, and sprinkled them with rare spices found from all walks of life.
It wasn’t long before the barbecue cooked by the spiritual fire began to emit an enticing aroma.
Fang Xi’s staple food has always been Yuxu rice and Yuangu wild beast meat.
Immortal cultivators always pay attention to the quality of their food, but his cooking philosophy is very simple – just meat!
After eating and drinking, he came to a spiritual pond.
Through the reflection of the clear pool water, you can see a young man in a green robe, with symmetrical and handsome features, a perfectly proportioned body, and hair casually draped over his shoulders, looking leisurely and lazy…
He looked into the distance, as if he could directly see the edge of the Earthly Immortal Realm. The infinite void was shattered, revealing large tracts of land.
However, these lands are not completely barren.
Instead, there are spiritual fields, medicinal gardens, and even animal pens that stretch across the fields…
A divine bean spirit general displayed magical powers of the deity level and commanded a large number of yellow bean warriors, copper bean armored soldiers, silver bean Taoist soldiers, and gold bean Taoist generals to begin registering the newly occupied land, sorting out the earth’s energy… and incorporating it into the earth’s immortal realm.
This is Fang Xi taking over the treasure from the cave of the Ephemeral.
Roar!
From then on, a ferocious beast suddenly jumped out of the cave, and its cultivation had reached the Return to Void level!
Fang Xi didn’t even blink an eyelid. From the north of the Earthly Immortal Realm, a dragon that looked like it was made of vines and wood naturally emerged.
The dragon roared and then joined forces with several wood bears in the south.
Together with the several Doumuxie and Kuimulang captured by the external incarnation when he explored the Starry Fairy Palace, they formed a large emerald green formation.
In the spiritual realm of earthly immortals, rays of spiritual light fell with a loud bang.
The ferocious beast that was returning to the void was completely suppressed before it could even howl!
“This ‘Four Wood Bird Stars Formation’ that brings together Jiao Mu Jiao, Dou Mu Xie, Jing Mu An, and Kui Mu Lang is considered to be a complete success… Although it has the advantage of the Earthly Immortal Realm, several fifth-level monsters working together can suppress the sixth-level monsters. This is also the merit of the formation!”
After all, the reason why formation is the most important among the hundred arts of cultivating immortals is because it allows cultivators of lower realms to master the power of higher realms in advance!
When the spiritual medicine gardens, various rare spiritual medicines, and special spiritual plants were merged into the Earthly Immortal Realm, Fang Xi’s smile widened: “Not bad… Really not bad!”
“Many of these spiritual plants are actually special products of the demon race… They cannot be found in the human race’s territory.”
“It has greatly enriched my collection!”
The ecological system of the Earthly Immortal Realm is more complete, and the benefit it brings is that the daily production of the ‘Ten Thousand Trees Mother Qi’ has begun to surge again!
“Plus the harvested Immortal Jade…”
“There’s no need for the Outer Dao Incarnation to work any harder… As long as I digest it for dozens or hundreds of years, maybe I can break through the bottleneck of the late stage of Return to Void?”
Fang Xi couldn’t help but be very satisfied with this progress of cultivation.
He practiced the inheritance of the Earthly Immortal, and his training speed was even faster than those peerless geniuses who did not take elixirs.
However, compared to those Return to Void cultivators who rely on elixirs to improve their magic power as a meal, they are still inferior.
But he walked steadily, step by step.
Now that he has started to invest resources crazily, the speed at which his mana increases has reached a point where even those favored children of heaven, the second generation of immortals who can eat elixirs as a meal, would be dumbfounded!
“It is said that the person with the real talent can reach the level of the Fusion Stage in dozens or hundreds of years… In comparison, my talent is still too average.”
Fang Xi sighed.
After completing his daily routine inspection of the spiritual realm, he came to a meadow again.
A large amount of the mother energy of all trees turned into green chains, trapping one of the blade fragments.
It was the fragment of the rare treasure from the Immortal Palace!
“If you practice Qigong every day to refine it, sooner or later you can expel the magic power imprint of the mayfly from this fragment…”
Fang Xi was not in a hurry at all. After all, the magic weapons in his hand were enough.
At this moment, he just wanted to show his appreciation by waving his hands and sending out streams of immortal energy, trying to imprint the fragments of this rare treasure from the immortal palace.
Since the original owner had died long ago, this was a natural thing.
However, looking at the shape of the blade, Fang Xi fell into deep thought.
In Chang Qingzi’s memory of martial arts, there are quite a few powerful magic weapons that can be refined during the Return to Void Stage or even the Fusion Stage.
Among them is a ‘Nine-nine Green Vine Gourd’!
Of course, the one below the Emerald Island is just a reduced-size imitation made by later generations.
The earthly immortals prefer to use rattan and wood to refine magic weapons, and gourds are also a very common shape.
And in Chang Qingzi’s memory, the most powerful one is the ‘Two-Five Zanpaku Gourd’!
It is based on a different kind of gourd, and cultivates a sharp energy of Gengjin inside the gourd.
The longer it is brewed, the stronger its power will be!
When it was time to perform the ritual, the mouth of the gourd opened and a brilliant light burst out, which was truly powerful enough to kill gods and Buddhas!
And there was also a quick way to refine this ‘Two-Five Zanpaku Gourd’.
As long as you can find a treasure with sufficient Gengjin energy, you can greatly save the step of nurturing it.
According to Fang Xi, this fragment of the blade of this rare treasure from the Immortal Palace was just right.
It itself is a treasure of gold attribute, and its shape is also very consistent.
As long as one finds another exotic gourd and combines it with many rare materials, the ‘Ni-five Zanpaku Gourd’ can be completed very quickly.
“Even those auxiliary materials, after I combine them with the Mayfly Collection in my hands, I can gather most of them…”
“When the time comes, this ‘Two-Five Zanpaku Gourd’ can be used as the strongest means after the fusion.”
Although Fang Xi has many methods now, most of them cannot be seen in public.
There is no need to talk about the Treasure Mirror of the Heavens and the Divine Light of the Supreme Big Dipper. Now it has been confirmed that the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan is related to the pseudonym “Fu Lao” and is related to the death of the Mayfly. It is possible that it will be investigated.
Not to mention the fifth generation Qinghe Sword. Once it gets out, Changqingzi will definitely cause trouble.
After refining it into the ‘Nigo Zanpaku Gourd’, it should be possible to add some components to the blade and transform it into a flying knife style.
This does not require remelting the fragments, but is equivalent to adding some decorations on the surface, or even repainting a layer of color, which is relatively simple…
Moreover, it is usually hidden in the gourd, so no one can see its true appearance. Those who really see it will probably be killed or injured by the flying knives…
“The method of refining this ‘Two-Five Zanpaku Gourd’ comes from an outer-world book. It is widely circulated among the high-ranking human race in the Earthly Immortal Realm. There is no need to worry about exposing its origin…”
…
Sword domain.
Before the dangerous pass.
With a desolate roar of beasts, the originally fearless and daring army of monsters attacking the city suddenly froze.
Then, it began to recede like the tide.
High in the sky.
Rays of sword light were entangled with the combined monster, which moved back and forth in all directions. The sword light was cold, carrying an indescribable chilling meaning.
“Alas… this time, my demon race is one step behind…”
A monster as big as a mountain roared, and a small gray-white tower emerged from the dark green demon energy.
This small tower suddenly became tall and straight, with countless demon totems appearing all around it, and at the top were the phantoms of several true spirits.
Silver-white light flickered and stretched across the front of the many cultivators in the Sword Pavilion, forming a “river in the sky” composed of cracks in the void, blocking the sword cultivators’ pursuit.
“Demon Locking Tower?!”
A middle-aged sword cultivator with snow-white hair and sword-like eyebrows said with fear.
The Demon Locking Tower is one of the most famous magic weapons among the demon race. Now this one has been refined to the seventh-grade upper level, and is faintly at the eighth-grade ‘semi-immortal weapon’ level. The energy of the void is extremely difficult to deal with.
The combined demon cultivator on the opposite side did this naturally to cover the retreat of other high-level demon cultivators.
“Want to leave?!”
An extremely young voice sounded.
Swish!
Suddenly, streaks of green sword light shot up into the sky.
The terrifying sword energy seemed to carry the power of heaven and earth, falling down like destroying a golden mountain or toppling a jade pillar.
Countless immortal palace seal characters suddenly burst out, and actually split the “Sky River” in the void crack into two!
Cut the Sky River with one sword!
In the void, the figure of a white-robed swordsman emerged.
His figure was as straight as a sword, with sword-like brows and bright eyes, and he looked to be about twenty years old, but his cultivation had reached the late stage of Return to Void!
In his right hand, he surprisingly held a green dagger!
This dagger was no more than a foot long, had no hilt, was pure green, and had an unparalleled sharpness.
“Humph, you are just a junior, you can only show off your power by relying on the precious flying sword from the Immortal Palace!”
From the dark green celestial demon aura, a flying sword of strange texture emerged and broke through the air.
The young man in white robe was not afraid. He urged the short sword in his hand to fight fiercely with the “demon sword” in the air.
The sound of metal clashing resounded through the sky, and the endless sword light shredded the clouds within a thousand miles.
Suddenly, a dragon-like sword roar was heard again.
The demon sword turned into a stream of light and fell into the hands of the combined demon cultivator. Several rice-sized gaps had already appeared on the blade.
Seeing this scene, the demon couldn’t help but let out a long howl filled with heartache and turned away.
These many moments of sword fighting were enough to hold this man back, and the high-level demon cultivator was almost gone.
As for those who haven’t run far, they are the cannon fodder left behind!
Among the demon race, the law of the jungle prevails!
“Don’t run!”
The young man holding the sword was about to chase him, but the middle-aged swordsman turned into a sword light and stopped him: “Don’t chase a desperate enemy!”
“Jian Zi’s swordsmanship is truly superb. He can actually duel with a demon cultivator in the early stages of fusion without losing at all…”
Several beams of light stopped, revealing the cultivators inside. Most of them were sword cultivators, and a look of satisfaction appeared on their faces.
“What a pity… I can’t kill the combined giant monster in formation!”
Jianzi put away the green dagger and said to the middle-aged man: “Pavilion Master… Now that the war between humans and demons is about to end, I want to travel to the ninety-nine regions of the human race and test my swordsmanship all over the world!”
“Although the Sword Pavilion’s sword holders have a tradition of taking the Sword Trial, is it too early?”
An elder of the Sword Pavilion said worriedly.
“Everyone, rest assured. It won’t take long for me to cultivate to the perfection of returning to the void. After I test the world with swords and forge an unimpeded sword heart, I will be able to strive for the success of the fusion…”
The young swordsman’s tone was filled with an indescribable determination: “Now that the Mayfly Son has rebelled, the five sons of the human race are missing. After I merge together, I will definitely fight for it… and restore the former glory of my Sword Pavilion!”
“Jian Zi is worthy of being the sword holder of our Sword Pavilion. The path of sword cultivation is to be willing to break but not bend, and to cut through all obstacles…”
The middle-aged swordsman smiled with satisfaction: “If that’s the case, go ahead!”
“Pavilion Master, elders… I’m leaving!”
Jian Zi let out a long whistle, and a beam of white light pierced through the void and disappeared in a flash…
…
Yaoyue Fairy City.
Fang Xi transformed into the ancestor of the Wang family, rode a small black turtle, and leisurely returned to the island in the middle of the lake.
“Welcome, ancestor!”
Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.
“The ancestor’s divine power!”
Wang Lingying and Li Ruling, along with a group of clansmen, greeted them respectfully.
Many tribesmen secretly glanced at the little black turtle under Fang Xi’s seat, their faces filled with disbelief.
“This black tortoise has actually been promoted to the sixth level?”
“It’s hard to believe. I fed it…”
“The old ancestor has hidden his talents. Now he is not only a great master of formations, but also a cultivator in the middle stage of returning to the void. With this sixth-level black turtle, my Wang family has nothing to worry about…”
“I heard that the demon army just suffered a great loss… The war between humans and demons may end soon, and we will have a peaceful life again…”
Fang Xi looked calm, and responded to the greetings from the younger generation below with a few incoherent words.
Not long after, Wang Lingying and Li Ruling tactfully led their men to retreat.
As usual, he released the little black turtle into the lake and went into the cave himself.
Fairy Taiyin came over and rubbed Fang Xi’s shoulders.
“This is life…”
He took a sip of the spiritual tea and squinted his eyes comfortably.
For Fang Xi, the purpose of cultivation is to be free and at ease.
It would be too boring to turn yourself into a stone or a sword.
A few days later, a beam of light landed in the cave, and it was Fairy Chen!
“Fairy Chen, please come in!”
Fang Xi bowed with a smile and invited Fairy Chen into the cave to serve tea.
“Friend Wang, I am here on behalf of Yaoyuexian City.”
After Fairy Chen drank a cup of spiritual tea, her expression became solemn.
“oh?”
Fang Xi’s eyes lit up slightly: “But has the reward from the Immortal City come down?”
As a guest of Yaoyue Fairy City, you will be paid for every mission you go on.
Therefore, he said directly: “If you have made a contribution, I would like to exchange it for another place in the Starry Immortal Mansion Secret Realm…”
Although the dragon-patterned wall had been moved here long ago, the Xingchen Sect should have known about it by now, but they kept it a secret.
However, Fang Xi had to show his previous interest, otherwise he would seem guilty.
“There are no more places for Xingchen Immortal Mansion. This time, the Immortal City lost Chisongzi and another elder… The human race’s high-level officials rewarded several ‘Liang Yi Po Xu Dan’ and other rare resources… With Fellow Daoist Wang’s contribution, it is not enough to exchange for a ‘Liang Yi Po Xu Dan’…”
Fairy Chen revealed an important message.
“For me, my children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Instead of working hard to accumulate contributions and exchange them for Liangyi Poxu Pills, it is better to exchange them for a few pills that are beneficial to returning to the void, or longevity pills…”
Fang Xi chuckled, appearing very open-minded.
Next, he asked some questions about the latest developments in the war between the three tribes.
“The demon tribe suffered damage in Jianyu Territory and Yanyu Sect, and has begun to retreat…”
Fairy Chen said this with a hint of relief on her face: “Although there will be another war, the general trend is hard to change… The demon race took advantage of us humans at the beginning of this advance, but then the information of the Heavenly Demon Association was leaked, and we were uprooted and suffered a great loss… All in all, we can only say that we have a slight advantage now…”
After all, the demon army invaded the human territory and slaughtered people wantonly.
Although we suffered considerable losses ourselves, that’s what war is like.
“What about the demons?” Fang Xi asked again, sensing the aura of the fragments of the Treasure Mirror of the Heavens still lingering in the direction of the human border.
“As for the demons… the progress of the demon army led by ‘Zizai Tian Demon King’ was very mediocre. After receiving support from ‘Mo Yunzi’, Wu Xingzi and Mo Yunzi joined forces to repel Zizai Tian Demon King…”
Fairy Chen smiled and said, “This time the demons are just trying to take advantage… Seeing that the demons and humans have won and lost, they will retreat soon… Even when the situation was critical, the demons had already started to contact our human race and leaked some information about the demons…”
Fang Xi was speechless about this situation.
If the two races were fighting for supremacy, the result would have already been known.
Only in this situation where the three tribes are entangled with each other, and every time when two tribes are about to decide the winner, the other tribe will come out to stir up trouble, can the war continue… and last for who knows how many years.
“When I reach the Mahayana stage… and become invincible in this world, this situation may change…”
An inexplicable thought emerged in Fang Xi’s mind.
Fairy Chen came here this time mainly to win over the ancestor of the Wang family, hoping that he would directly become an elder of Yaoyue Fairy City.
After all, the current ancestor of the Wang family is not the cultivator who has just been promoted to the early stage of Return to Void.
He was in the middle stage of Return to Void, had several good skills, and a sixth-order black turtle!
In other words, it was enough to open up a medium-sized sect, and it would not be a big problem to run rampant in the Star Domain.
Of course, Fang Xi politely declined this offer.
He had no intention of becoming deeply tied to Yaoyue Fairy City.
He only promised to continue to serve as a guest official in the Immortal City, and used this contribution to exchange for some elixirs and rare materials from the Immortal City.
This batch of rare materials includes both what is needed to refine the ‘Two-Five Zanpaku Gourd’ and what is needed to refine the seventh-level puppet.
After Fairy Chen left, Fang Xi lay down on the armchair leisurely: “The war is over… I can finally have a few days of leisure.”
Although he knew that this temporary truce would not last long – at least with his lifespan, he would definitely encounter it many times.
And…after the war is over, internal conflicts among the human race will arise again.
The rebellion of the mayflies…is also a major blow to the demon cultivators among the human race.
After all, when he was one of the Five Sons of the Human Race, many immortal cultivators took the initiative to approach him. Now, he doesn’t know how many of them have been lured and betrayed, and they all have to be investigated one by one.
This would alienate the demon cultivators who were already on the edge!
Not to mention, with one of the five sons of the human race missing, there would definitely be many old monsters in the human race who were above the fusion level who would be tempted.
According to what Fang Xi knew, the sixth son of the human race now had great hope!
At that time, there will be another fierce battle!
“If you want to become one of the five sons of the human race, first you must have a clean background, and second you must be able to convince others…”
“Basically…it’s still decided by fighting!”
Although this method is primitive, it is understandable. After all, monks are a group of people who fear power but not morality!
“But… this is none of my business!”
Fang Xi himself had never thought about snatching the position of one of the five sons of the human race.
After all, honor also means responsibility!
At most… let the Outer Dao Incarnation go!
As an ascended monk registered in the Tianfan Camp, the Outer Dao Incarnation is definitely a clean person.
And now he has been promoted to the middle stage of Return to Void, and will be promoted to Fusion in the future… At least it is more reasonable than the ancestor of the Wang family being promoted to Fusion.
“Becoming one of the five sons of the human race, in addition to filling in for the vacant position, seems to allow me to directly challenge the incumbent…”
“When the time comes, we can let the incarnation of the outsider test Chang Qingzi’s strength first…”
In this war between the three tribes, only one, Mayfly Son, died among the five sons, while Changqing Son was still alive and well, which was a pity for Fang Xi.
…
Time is like water.
A few years later.
The demon army retreated first, announcing the temporary end of the war between humans and demons.
Then, the demon army retreated again and again, and now they are almost reaching the Three Realms Mountain, maintaining a balance with the human race.
Among the human race, geniuses continued to show their names, and there were some undercurrents, which were obviously caused by the vacancy of the five sons of the human race.
Fang Xi didn’t care about the disturbances in the outside world.
The incarnation of the heretic is still in the Tianfan Realm, guarding the Penglai Fairy Pavilion.
My original body was hiding in Yaoyue Fairy City, occasionally coming out as the ancestor of the Wang family to enjoy myself.
Most of the time, he entered the Earth Immortal Realm under the pretext of seclusion, growing together with the Earth Immortal Realm, and his cultivation progressed at a rapid speed.
Under the Ancestral Demon Tree.
Fang Xi held a black cricket-like monster in his hand and murmured, “This challenge is really great…”
Over the past few years, he finally mastered Dong Qiuzi’s sixth-level puppetry, especially the final part of refining a quasi-seventh-level puppet.
At this point, I finally have some confidence and can start refining the demon body of the mayfly incarnation!
Once this demon body is refined, its power will probably not be inferior to that of the dragon and phoenix puppets.
Even in some aspects, it is even better!
Of course, refining this kind of ultra-small puppet is also a huge challenge for Fang Xi’s puppetry.
Fortunately, he has a helper.
“Go ahead!”
Fang Xi murmured, and countless branches suddenly fell from the crown of the Ancestral Demon Tree.
Among these branches, dense silk threads emerge.
It kept drilling into the monster insect’s body, causing the monster’s body to jump occasionally, as if it was an instinctive reaction.
This was after Fang Xi comprehended the sixth-level puppetry technique, and he innovated on this basis, using wooden puppets to replace many key steps.
This makes driving easier and saves a lot of material.
“It’s just… it’s still a long project. After all, the demon tree is only level six, and it’s difficult to refine a level seven puppet, even if it’s only a quasi-level seven puppet… So it mainly depends on me, the puppeteer, to dismantle it…”
