Chapter 549: Chapter 547: Void Crystal (A congratulations to the Alliance Master who has a shortage of Heaven)_1
"Indeed!"
With a tiny and gentle voice, the Nascent Soul of Lord Zi Xia replied, "This is a fifth-grade talisman bestowed upon me by my master... Yun Jiezi, you are recklessly bold, relying on the cultivation of a great cultivator? But this talisman contains the striking force of my master, so go to hell!"
His eyes were filled with blood vessels, evidently full of hatred for Fang Xi.
The Nascent Soul sprayed a mouthful of Essence Blood onto the purple crystal talisman without any courtesy.
Whish!
Accompanied by the rising purple light, heaven and earth suddenly changed!
Countless azure water Spirit Powers emerged from the void, transforming into beams of Water Traveling Divine Light!
They drew upon the Power of Heaven and Earth!
This was indeed the Power of a Transcendent God!
The converging streams of Water Traveling Powers morphed into the figure of an extraordinarily beautiful woman dressed in blue palace garments.
The figure’s face was a blur, but now she pointed a finger!
The Water Traveling Divine Light transformed into a blue trident, its blade etched with flashing runes, shooting towards Fang Xi!
"Darn it!"
Shui Lingxin, who was dodging around, lifted her head to see this scene and couldn’t help showing a worried expression on her face, "Yun Jiezi is indeed no simple man; my intuition was right. He’s actually a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, no wonder he could bring out so many treasures... But Brother Zi Xia is also not to be trifled with! He actually directly used the life-saving item given by our master. It seems he really despises Yun Jiezi to the extreme."
Fairly speaking, if the tables were turned, Shui Lingxin would not have a good impression of cultivators like Yun Jiezi either, who had no reverence for the Transcendent God Sect and resorted to immediate hostility and killing.
But now, the situation was a bit subtle.
The interests of Yun Jiezi aligned with hers.
"With the exceptional talent granted by heaven, my master has not only cultivated to Transcendence but is also a fifth-grade Talisman Master... This ’Sea God Talisman’ truly possesses the striking power of a single hit; even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, if not killed, will certainly be severely injured!"
Shui Lingxin murmured to herself as she saw countless streams of Water Traveling Power compressing the void, leaving Fang Xi with no room to dodge, forced to withstand the strike head-on!
Spurt!
The trident pierced directly through the defense of the Five Elements Ring’s five-color Xia Light and hit Fang Xi.
Whish!
Among the raging tides, numerous beams of Water Traveling Divine Light burst forth fiercely!
Seeing this, Lord Zi Xia’s face was filled with gratification, while Shui Lingxin closed her eyes.
"Haha... No matter how powerful a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator is, to oppose Penglai Fairy Island, the only outcome is..."
Before Lord Zi Xia could finish his mad laughter, his voice suddenly cut off as if a duck was being strangled by its neck.
A sound mixed with dragon chanting and phoenix trills suddenly resounded.
Amidst the red and azure light, a figure emerged, clad in armor of red and blue—Fang Xi, completely unharmed!
His eyes looking at Lord Zi Xia, as if gazing at a dead man, his hand conjured a verdant green arrow from the Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light, directly piercing Lord Zi Xia’s chest!
Whoosh!
Lord Zi Xia’s Nascent Soul teleported in an instant, reappearing a few hundred meters away, attempting to use a secret skill, but suddenly he heard Fang Xi’s cold snort and couldn’t help but freeze for a moment.
Hum!
A gray-white radiance emerged, transforming into countless fine needles that flew into the Nascent Soul, piercing it everywhere.
Above the Nascent Soul’s head, a gray-white Devil-locking Tower materialized!
In the blink of an eye, Fang Xi flicked his finger and subdued Lord Zi Xia’s Nascent Soul, turning it into a greenish haze upon a small island.
"Sir..."
He held the unconscious Nascent Soul of Lord Zi Xia in his hand, looking toward Shui Lingxin.
Shui Lingxin mustered up the courage, "Sir... A curse incantation placed by my master lies on my brother’s body. Whoever kills him would be sensed."
"Thank you for the information, Immortal... But I never intended to personally kill this man; I plan to search his soul first,"
Fang Xi replied with a smile, "In doing so, whatever conspiracies and schemes this person has will become clear."
Shui Lingxin widened her eyes in shock, ’Is this man... insane?’
What she didn’t realize was that Fang Xi’s main approach was simple and brutal, unrestrained, and without any taboos.
With sufficient power, one could indeed act as they pleased!
"Please wait a moment, Immortal..."
Searching a Nascent Soul’s secrets required the use of the ’Self-transforming Demon True Skills.’
Fang Xi had no intention to let Shui Lingxin become privy to the secret of the Triphasic Destroying Origin Skill.
He touched the Mountain Sea Pearl and released both Daqing and Xiao Qing.
"Transformed Great Demon?!"
Shui Lingxin’s eyes widened in alarm, becoming even more wary of Xiao Qing, for despite looking like a little girl, this demon’s Demon Qi had already reached the level of a fourth-grade mid-rank beast!
"Keep an eye on this woman!"
Not trusting Shui Lingxin in the least, Fang Xi directly dived into the Mountain Sea Pearl.
Although the Mountain Sea Pearl had its own tiny space, it was extremely fragile; with his current Void Divine Power, Fang Xi could easily tear through the void and escape back to the outside world.
Moreover, with treasures like a movable Dongfu, his current strength meant he no longer feared others knowing about it.
Seeing Fang Xi disappear into the Mountain Sea Pearl, Shui Lingxin’s eyes widened, she wanted to speak but stopped.
However, she glanced at Daqing next to her—who was half human and half dragon—and still didn’t dare to take any action.
...
Under the Monster Tree.
Fang Xi’s Divine Consciousness swept across the area, and he suddenly uttered a sound of surprise and doubt as he approached a large meaty blob.
This was a third-rank Taisui, which he had been cultivating inside the Mountain Sea Pearl.
But now, the Taisui was faintly stirring!
"What fortune... This vegetative demon plant-like creature can finally move?"
Fang Xi doubted with surprise, and through the Master-Servant Contract signed long ago, he sensed the Taisui’s simple consciousness.
At this moment, this consciousness seemed to sense something, emitting a feeling of desire!
"In the Vast Sea Secret Realm, there is something desired by the Taisui?"
"That’s rather curious..."
He didn’t care too much, found an empty space to sit cross-legged, and began to operate the Triphasic Destroying Origin Skill.
In an instant, his Immortal Spirit Qi transformed into a pure and thick Demon Qi, the surrounding area becoming a shade of black and red.
Fang Xi took out the Devil-locking Tower and released Lord Zi Xia’s Nascent Soul, into which streams of Sky Demon Secret Knowledge began to enter...
Soon, scenes were rapidly extracted.
Mostly about how a Heavenly Spirit Root disciple from Penglai Fairy Island happened to be incredibly lucky and was accepted under an old Transcendent God ancestor...
As for cultivation techniques? They were similarly protected by Divine Thought prohibitions... Fang Xi didn’t want to stir up unnecessary trouble, so he didn’t delve deeper.
Later, his expression changed slightly, "As expected... is that ’Tang’ the one plotting this? Lord Zi Xia is merely a pawn... Moreover, he wouldn’t take action personally. Instead, he’d look for an excuse to make Shui Lingxin vulnerable in the Secret Realm and then notify the Liu Family’s Twin Demons to act... These two Nascent Soul cultivators are definitely going to be silenced in the end too."
However, what changed Fang Xi’s expression wasn’t this piece of information, but something else, "This so-called ’Cursed Trace’ isn’t simply locked unto whoever kills... otherwise, wouldn’t it be resolved by just giving it to a monster beast after it’s been captured? The curse techniques of Penglai Fairy Island are divided into passive and active modes, the passive one is indeed bound to the killer, but the active mode allows the caster to employ a secret skill, then directly implant the Cursed Trace onto the target!"
"Lord Zi Xia, having witnessed how I remained unharmed after being attacked by a fifth-rank talisman, had already provoked the Cursed Trace in desperation, casting it upon me? No wonder I felt something was off before but couldn’t pinpoint it."
"Fortunately, this ’Cursed Trace’, it’s somewhat similar to the ’Resented Spirit Trace’..."
Fang Xi threw Lord Zi Xia’s Nascent Soul aside, and the Ancestral Demon Tree immediately dropped tendrils like a wooden cage, enveloping the Nascent Soul completely.
Once he left the Eastern Sea Cultivation World, he would naturally have the Monster Tree drain that Nascent Soul dry.
After finishing all this, Fang Xi formed seals with his hands and operated a secret skill from the ’Seven Emotions and Sorrows Script’.
Eerie masks began to emerge all around him, and, amid the low chanting of curses, they continuously covered his face.
"Removing the Cursed Trace isn’t an overnight matter. I’ll seal it first, and later on, I’ll use you as fuel for my practice..."
With a flash of light.
Fang Xi walked out of the Mountain Sea Pearl, and with a backhand motion, he stowed it away.
"Senior... could you be a Transcendent God cultivator?!"
At this time, Shui Lingxin cautiously asked a question.
Being able to subjugate a Transformed Great Demon as a demon servant was one thing, but with a Dongfu treasure in hand, furthermore having effortlessly withstood a fifth-rank talisman attack without a scratch, could it be that this ’Yun Jiezi’ was actually a secretive Transcendent God of the mundane world?
"Haha, I have not yet achieved Transcendent God status..."
Fang Xi chuckled.
Inside, Shui Lingxin felt even more frightened.
For Transcendent God cultivators couldn’t act frequently, lest they suffer backlash from the Spiritual Power of the Lower Realm!
But this person, not yet a Transcendent God, yet possessed the power of one, what if he succeeded in advancing?
Shui Lingxin dared not continue the thought.
"Shui, my young friend..." Fang Xi stroked his chin and suddenly said, "Seeing my Heaven Treasure, you seem not too astonished..."
"To tell the truth, although Heaven Treasures are rare, my master has one in his possession."
Shui Lingxin bowed slightly and respectfully replied, "It is a movable Dongfu; my master told me that Heaven Treasures can actually be more specifically classified. Those that can only contain one or a few Dongfus are merely ’Blessed Land Treasures’. Only those capable of containing an entire small world can be considered true ’Heaven Treasures’. Honestly... I came here to refine the ’Heart of Vast Sea’ and fully integrate this ’Vast Sea Realm’ into my possession... This realm is also a ’Heaven Treasure’, and an exceedingly high-ranked one at that."
She revealed everything, clearly understanding that after Lord Zi Xia had his soul searched, most secrets couldn’t be kept hidden anyway.
"Hmm... With the physique you’ve awakened, you do seem to have a bit of hope in refining the Heart of Vast Sea."
Fang Xi nodded.
"Senior truly knows everything..." Shui Lingxin replied with a wry smile, "My ’Spirit Communication Physique’ is adept at communicating with all things, exploring Heavenly Secrets... Indeed, I have some confidence in communicating with the Heart of Vast Sea. Even if I don’t succeed, I can still refine many ’Void Crystals’ inside the ’Vast Sea Palace’. The Void Crystals should be very useful for expanding the space of a Heaven Treasure... I am willing to offer all of these ’Void Crystals’ to senior!"
"Then I will accept them without modesty."
Fang Xi smiled, "In that case, you may lead the way."
Although having soul searched Lord Zi Xia provided Fang Xi with a lot of insight into the Vast Sea Secret Realm, he deliberately avoided revealing too much.
Shui Lingxin took out a talisman, and after infusing it with magical power, the talisman transformed into a blue radiance, resembling an arrow pointing in a certain direction, "The Vast Sea Palace should be in that direction!"
"Oh?"
Fang Xi touched the Mountain Sea Pearl tattoo, noting that this direction was indeed in line with Taisui’s longing...
