Chapter 406: Chapter 404: Unification of the Three Kingdoms (Congratulations to the alliance leader Pipishrimp!) _1
"Changsheng!"
The early Core Formation female cultivator had a ghastly pale complexion, clearly grievously wounded by Fang Xi’s casual strike.
Seeing the Changsheng she admired usually lying on the ground like a dead dog, she couldn’t help but show a face full of shattered Dao heart.
Wei Changsheng was only unconscious, not dead.
But having his soul forcefully searched by Fang Xi, his Divine Soul was damaged, and if it couldn’t be repaired, he would never be able to condense a Nascent Soul in this lifetime.
Puff, puff!
Before the Core Formation female cultivator could react, she clutched her dantian, a look of pain spreading across her face.
"For these three, their capital punishment may be spared but not the punishment of living, specially seal their dantian’s magic power, and throw them into the dungeon... Send someone to inform the Mixed Origin Sect, and command their ancestor to come and ransom them!"
Fang Xi looked towards Taishu Hong, "There are a few more Foundation Establishment Cultivators from Yiling Valley on the Spirit Boat outside, go and kill them all, then let the remaining Mixed Origin Sect Foundation Establishments go back to deliver the message."
"Yes!"
Taishu Hong bowed respectfully and retreated.
Fang Xi nodded, he spared these three Core Formation lives because he didn’t want to keep killing.
Now having achieved Nascent Soul and secured a Spiritual Vein, isn’t it more wonderful to plant trees obediently on Jade Island and slowly cultivate to Nascent Soul’s later stages, or even Transcendent God?
Why start a war with the Mixed Origin Sect?
Of course, if that Nascent Soul Old Monster still wouldn’t let things go, Fang Xi had no choice but to send him on his way with a strike of Mysterious Light...
"Congratulations to the young master on achieving Nascent Soul."
Zhong Hongyu stepped forward and said, "Should we prepare a Nascent Soul celebration?"
"Nascent Soul celebration? I’ve never been fond of liveliness, forget about it..."
Fang Xi waved his hand, thinking about the last Core Formation celebration.
In such a remote place, to have a bunch of Jia Dan and Foundation Establishment Cultivators flatter him, barely receiving any magical treasures as gifts, what’s the point?
Zhang Zhusheng gritted his teeth, knelt down and said, "All of us from the Mysterious Heaven Sect wish to serve under the true monarch, please accept us."
Initially, when Fang Xi was at the late stage of Core Formation, he had already beaten the Three Kingdoms. Now that he had achieved Nascent Soul, Elder Zhang had no thoughts of resistance left and could only accept his fate.
Even if the Mysterious Heaven Sect’s Taoist system ended in his hands, it was destiny, no one could blame him.
Otherwise, what could he do? Attempt to confront a Yuan Ying True Monarch with his Jia Dan status?
Haven’t you seen that even the mighty Core Formation experts from the Mixed Origin Sect have turned into dead dogs now?
"Mysterious Heaven Sect?"
Fang Xi thought for a moment, "I have no intention of starting a school, but I do need some people under me... How about this, I am setting up the ’Three Kingdoms League’, and the Mysterious Heaven Sect and Green Wood Sect will join as sects in their entirety."
"Greetings to the League Master!"
Zhang Zhusheng was almost overjoyed, because the conditions were very attractive.
Not only did it preserve the sect, but it also allowed them to enjoy the protection of a Yuan Ying True Monarch. He would be a fool to resist.
"Enough... You Mysterious Heaven and Green Wood sects, send some people under Hong Yu’s command to tidy up this Jade Island..."
Fang Xi casually gave a few instructions.
Previously sealing the island was to enter closed-door cultivation to condense a Nascent Soul, not allowing any accidental factors to interfere.
But now that the Nascent Soul was fully achieved, there was nothing to fear.
Given the vast size of Jade Island, there were always menial tasks that needed servants and maids.
...
Before long, a shocking piece of news spread across the Cultivation World of the Three Kingdoms.
Unification of the Three Kingdoms!
The Lord Master of Dragon Fish Island, truly a gifted individual, had condensed a Nascent Soul and, with the dignity of a True Monarch, established a power named ’Three Kingdoms League’, with the original Mysterious Heaven and Green Wood sects fully incorporated. Yiling Valley had long been shaped like Thousand Island Lake, not to mention...
Those Foundation Establishment level small powers and sects, were eager to pledge allegiance, even actively seeking to join but unable to...
The prestige of Fang Xi, the Yuan Ying True Monarch, was also continuously sung by Cultivators and even spread to Yuan Country...
Green Wood Sect.
Inside the Great Hall.
Sect Master Cang Qingzi was beaming, "Thanks to True Monarch Fang’s grace... Our Green Wood Sect has formally joined the Three Kingdoms League, and we must select some Cultivation talents with both moral integrity and exceptional aptitude to serve at Jade Island."
The Foundation Establishment elders below buzzed with excitement, eager inside, and had secretly fought countless times for these spots.
That was a stage-four Spiritual Vein and a Yuan Ying True Monarch!
Should one be so lucky to be taken as a disciple by the True Monarch, wouldn’t Core Formation become attainable?!
"Sister Zheng!"
Cang Qingzi looked at Zheng Shan with a stern expression, "True Monarch Fang took a liking to you last time. This time you will lead the team, at all costs do not miss this godsend opportunity! The rise and fall of our Green Wood Sect now rests on you."
"Yes!"
Zheng Shan stood up, feeling the burning gazes around her. Suddenly, she felt an immense weight on her shoulders and couldn’t help but smile wryly, agreeing to the task.
...
Several months later.
Jade Island.
Hai Danaiu finally got what he desired and became the chief of Fang Xi’s Spiritual Medicine Garden. Now he was directing some Spirit Farmers to clear the land.
Swoosh!
A streak of fire appeared, transforming into a Voice Transmission Talisman, floating to his side.
Hai Danaiu raised his hand and a large earthy-yellow hand captured the Voice Transmission Talisman, holding it close to his ear. After listening for a few moments, he nodded and said to the Spirit Farmers, "I must go to welcome a group of newcomers. You lot, work diligently... You should know that having the chance to till the fields above a fourth-grade Spiritual Vein is a fortune you couldn’t cultivate in several lifetimes!"
"Yes!"
"Rest assured, Hai Manager," they said.
The group of Spirit Farmers bowed and sent Hai Danaiu off.
Hai Danaiu maneuvered a yellowish-brown disc Spiritual Instrument to the edge of the ’Nine Nether Profound Wood Array’, carefully took out an earthy-yellow medallion from his waist, and shook it at the edge of the Array.
The mist on both sides dispersed, revealing a path.
He walked out of the Array and saw a Spirit Boat.
"Zheng Shan of the Green Wood Sect pays respect to Sir..."
Zheng Shan, accompanied by a group of maidservants, descended from the Spirit Boat and bowed gently: "We are here by the Sect Master’s orders, ready to follow the Alliance Leader’s commands..."
"Ah! your arrival is wonderful, just when the island is short-handed!"
Hai Danaiu laughed heartily: "Follow me!"
He led the way, flying into the Array.
Zheng Shan looked at the dark Array with trepidation, yet she gritted her teeth and followed into the Great Array.
"Our Jade Island is in need of restoration... After your arrival, you can choose Dongfus around to reside in, but be careful to avoid several forbidden areas... The first is the Evergreen Hall, and then that giant black tree behind it... The second is the ’Phoenix Nest Cliff’ where the Green Fire Luan resides, and the third is the Flood Dragon Pool, home to a third-grade Blue Dragon... That Blue Dragon, still a Azure horn Fish Dragon back then, I’ve seen it too and even fed it Spirit Food..."
Hai Danaiu babbled on: "That third-grade Blue Dragon has a good temper, but recently the Island Master has released quite a few Blue Water Winged Snakes in the Flood Dragon Pool, which are incredibly fierce... Just a few days ago, a fish keeper nearly lost his hand to a bite."
Zheng Shan and the others followed Hai Danaiu to a palace, both excited and fearful.
"This is Void Hall, personally bestowed by the Island Master to Uncle Zhong, the only Core Formation Cultivator on the island, appointed by the Island Master as the Director of Miscellaneous Affairs. If our Jade Island turns into a School, then he would be the rightful Sect Leader."
Hai Danaiu led Zheng Shan and the others to the front of the Void Hall and said ceremoniously, "Hai Danaiu, leading people from the Green Wood Sect, requests to see Uncle Zhong!"
"Come in!"
A woman’s voice came through, and Zheng Shan followed inside to see a red-dressed Core Formation elder sitting at the main seat, her eyes sharp as lightning, sweeping coldly across them.
"Members from Green Wood Sect..."
Zhong Hongyu quickly assigned duties to everyone except for Zheng Shan.
After Hai Danaiu took the servants away, Zhong Hongyu looked at Zheng Shan thoughtfully, "The True Monarch has personally chosen you to oversee his private Spiritual Medicine Garden; you must be attentive to it in the future."
"Yes!"
Zheng Shan did not understand why that True Monarch always treated her differently but could only comply obediently.
"Come with me."
Zhong Hongyu turned into a streak of Escape Light, carrying Zheng Shan directly onto a large tree stump and to the front of the Evergreen Hall.
Where there was once a vast square, it now was covered with a layer of Five-color Millet Soil, divided into several parts, each planting a variety of spirit medicines.
Zheng Shan only swept it with a glance but her heart skipped a beat.
She could recognize only a small part of it, but she knew that among those spirit medicines, there were some that would have driven the elders of the Green Wood Sect mad even in their prime...
’No wonder he is a True Monarch, indeed his blessings are profound...’ she thought.
Zheng Shan had no idea that the Millet Soil and spirit medicines in the garden were only a small part transplanted from the Mountain Sea Pearl by Fang Xi...
Inside the Evergreen Hall.
Zheng Shan finally saw the Island Master of Dragon Fish Island again.
Compared to the late stage of Core Formation she saw him in originally, he was now a Nascent Soul True Monarch, the leader of the Three Kingdoms League, the rightful master of the Cultivation World of the Three Kingdoms!
"Zheng Shan pays respects to the True Monarch and wishes for eternal prosperity on your path of cultivation!"
She immediately offered a gracious bow.
"Enough..."
Fang Xi waved his hand, tossing her a wooden medallion, "From today onwards, the small Spirit Medicine Garden in front of the hall is entrusted to you to manage."
"Yes!"
Zheng Shan accepted the task respectfully, but felt somewhat bewildered inside.
This scene, why did it seem so familiar, as though she had experienced it a long time ago?
Fang Xi didn’t say much to her and had no intention of revealing their past acquaintance.
After all, disguising himself to benefit from their spiritual energy for cultivation was somewhat awkward to admit.
Though he had later assisted them a few times, evening out that debt.
After sending the two women away, he entered the closed-door cultivation room and sat cross-legged, with the jade slip recording ’Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light’ materializing in his hands.
He had been contemplating this Divine Skill and Secret technique until now, and finally felt confident to begin cultivating it.
Fang Xi sat cross-legged, surrounded by strands of Yi Wood Divine Light.
He formed a seal, a flicker of Blue Light appeared at his Heavenly Spirit, and his main Nascent Soul emerged.
The three-inch Nascent Soul had a solemn expression and swiftly formed hand seals.
The Yi Wood Divine Light, as if attracted, gathered around him, turning into wisps and threads of blue silk...
Fang Xi Nascent Soul continued to refine the Yi Wood Divine Light into threads, then with another change in hand seals, began weaving these threads into a fabric, re-refining it...
As these actions unfolded, his ’Yi Wood Magic Body’ also operated silently within, as if aiding the process.
"This Tai Yi Green Wood Divine Light is as difficult to cultivate as ’Kuyong Mysterious Light’..."
An hour later, Fang Xi stopped his practice and exhaled a long breath.
Kuyong Mysterious Light’s difficulty was extremely high; others despite having the technique and even forming a Kuyong Golden Core, would find it difficult to begin without the Yi Wood Magic Body or the secret teachings from Green Emperor Mountain.
