Chapter 563: Chapter 561: Nascent Soul Completion (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_1
Fang Immortal University.
Flying Rice Research Institute.
Fang Xi arrived inside the research institute and, passing through layers of seals, saw the cultivation chamber on the screen.
The cultivation chamber was now overrun with the offspring of Black Taisui, with all kinds of fungi growing rampantly, creating a particularly unsettling sight.
"Regarding how to clear the collective consciousness, after consulting with Master Ghost Axe, I already have a detailed plan. We can start now."
Huo Yunzi said to Fang Xi with a chuckle.
"Oh?"
Fang Xi’s eyes lit up, "Is it finally starting? That game..."
"Yes, now is exactly the launch date. Shall we go take a look together?"
Huo Yunzi issued an invitation.
In an instant, a strand of Divine Consciousness from each of them, through the intelligent terminal on their bodies, arrived in a virtual space.
’Bliss Space!’
A thought struck Fang Xi as he recalled the dark zone of the virtual net used by Master Ghost Axe back in the day to bait and fish for Submerged Dragon.
"With the adoption of the latest virtual reality technology, this game is bound to be well received."
Huo Yunzi smiled.
"I’m looking forward to it."
Fang Xi was also somewhat excited.
...
"Hmm? God Martial Company released a new game?"
Jing Yi, a Core Formation Master heavily addicted to the internet, was browsing online out of boredom, looking at the recent games when suddenly he spotted something fresh and his eyes sparked to life, "’Cultivators vs Mushrooms’... seems quite interesting?"
He clicked in without needing to download anything and arrived at a virtual level.
In front, clumps of pitch-black mushrooms transformed into soldiers and charged towards him...
"Isn’t this just smashing mushrooms?"
After playing a few levels, Jing Yi couldn’t help but criticize, "Watch me clear you in a day..."
Later...
"Bleh, bleh!"
Jing Yi quickly removed the terminal, feeling somewhat nauseous.
Thinking about the giant Taisui that appeared in the third-to-last level, that massive piece of flesh, and the feeling of slowly being suffocated by the pressure, made him shiver with revulsion.
Checking the game’s official website, sure enough, there was a bunch of negative feedback.
But for some reason, God Martial Company was very determined to promote the game, even launching promotions to give out recharge tokens for playing, which made many players who complained unwilling to let go.
"This... looks like some administrative force is pushing it from behind."
Seeing this, Jing Yi instantly became contemplative.
...
Above the sky in virtual space.
Fang Xi and Huo Yunzi looked down like creators, watching the numerous small worlds where countless Cultivators were battling mushrooms.
"The seven emotions and six desires of people, most complicated... Gathered into one, striking at the original mental imprint?"
Fang Xi slightly smiled, "The idea is indeed quite ingenious..."
This arrangement faintly reminded him of the ’Submerged Dragon’ from years ago.
"Yes, and we owe a lot to Master Ghost Axe’s insight..."
Huo Yunzi said, "I could have never come up with this kind of neuron linking structure..."
"Besides, I would like to commission the development of two more games, targeting mushrooms and turtles respectively..."
Fang Xi thought of the fourth-order superior Black Taisui Inner Core and fifth-order Profound Turtle Blood in his possession and couldn’t help but smile.
"Sure, it’s just something a few programmers can handle..."
Huo Yunzi seemed unconcerned, immediately making a grand promise.
...
The release of several brand-new dark-style games brought all sorts of new and thrilling experiences to game enthusiasts in The Nine States, while the daily research, cultivation, and life of the Heterodox Nascent Souls were monotonous and uniform.
Inside the Mountain Sea Pearl Dongfu.
Fang Xi sat cross-legged, and with a flash of spiritual light from his head, a Nascent Soul appeared.
This main Nascent Soul had almost reached three inches in height and faintly resembled a youth in appearance.
Whoosh whoosh!
Spiritual energy from all around was rapidly refined, forming a vortex of alternating green and yellow colors.
Within the vortex, strands of Purple Qi formed and were all absorbed by the main Nascent Soul.
"Ha!"
With a light shout, his figure grew a few more inches, breaking through the three-inch limit complete.
The main Nascent Soul clutched the Treasures of All Heavens, upon which a tricolored seed could vaguely be seen, connecting to all energies and controlling the Five Elements...
After frolicking for a while, it yawned, turned into a green light orb, and entered Fang Xi’s Baihui point on the head, penetrated down the spine, and went straight into the Dantian Qi Ocean.
Inside the Dantian Qi Ocean, there was also a trace of ’Sky Demon Qi,’ which the main Nascent Soul directly grabbed, like a green little snake that didn’t dare to struggle at all.
"Kuyong Skills, the nineteenth layer... finally attained Great Perfection."
Fang Xi opened his eyes, a quick flash of joy visible within them.
The cultivation of the Nascent Soul Stage had finally reached its end for him!
"This ’Sky Demon Qi’ is indeed a spiritual pill suitable for enhancing cultivation, provided that one can subdue it..."
"Having extracted only a small part, converting it into cultivation for the Immortal Path, with some loss, it has made the Nascent Soul perfectly complete. With the remaining amount, it can completely serve as the nourishment for breaking through to the Transcendent God stage... at least equivalent to half a portion of ’Transcendent God Spiritual Paste,’ right?"
Transcendent God Spiritual Paste!
It was a legendary elixir rumored to aid in transcending to godhood!
Alas, it had not been seen in the Mortal Realm for ten thousand years.
Fang Xi felt that with this portion of ’Sky Demon Qi,’ breaking through the major barriers of cultivation would be free of any magic power bottleneck.
"After reaching Great Perfection in the Nascent Soul stage, my magic power had nowhere further to advance..."
"Even, I feel that with but a single thought, I could attempt a breakthrough to Transcendent God! Of course... breaking through now would be a waste... with little hope of success."
Fang Xi took out a jade bottle, inside of which was purified blood from a fifth-order Profound Turtle.
Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on his face: "That old turtle really is a good guy..."
Would Gui Xiang spit out a mouthful of old blood if he knew about this remark?
"Recently, the fortune of the Fortune Worm has not been replenished, and the Seven Emotions and Sorrows Script is still slightly away from second level perfection. Better to refine my body first..."
The Thousands Demon Armor Secret Skills originally came with a certain Quenching Effect.
By now, Fang Xi considers his body no less inferior to those Transformed Great Demons.
’If I gather the Four Holy Beasts, I’m afraid my physique could compare with a Transcendent God Demon.’"
Feeling somewhat excited, Fang Xi’s aura changed as a burst of dark green Demon Qi shot to the sky.
Subsequently, he opened the jade bottle that carried the fifth-order Profound Turtle Essence Blood.
After absorbing the Profound Turtle Essence Blood, the Heaven Phoenix Flood Dragon Armor underwent changes, the heart-guard mirror on his chest became more prominent, and Fang Xi gritted his teeth, feeling the sensation of his body undergoing another round of muscle-tendon-changing and marrow-washing, then he flicked a Cleaning Skill onto himself.
Once the Essence Blood was completely refined, he clenched his fist, feeling the terrifying defensive power above his skin, and he couldn’t help nodding: "With my current state, I’m not just capable of catching spiritual treasures barehanded, but I can shatter them with my bare hands..."
The blood of the fifth-order Profound Turtle greatly enhanced the Thousands Demon Armor.
After all, even the Five Elements Qilin Tribe might not be able to obtain the blood of a Transcendent God Demon from other king races!
"What’s more crucial is that I actually have a target for the fourth kind of True Blood of Qilin... Ancestor Huo from the Western Desert... Can I give it a try when I return?"
He stood up and looked at the three-colored armor surrounding his body. When he moved, even the phantoms of the Dragon Phoenix and Xuanwu appeared and followed his actions, presenting a very impressive aura.
Fang Xi had to admit that he was a common man.
Although the ’Four Holy Beasts Armor’ currently lacked one beast and its defense was already astonishing, without the Qilin, it was still somewhat imperfect, which was itchingly unsatisfactory.
...
The Nine States.
A barren wilderness.
Fang Xi’s true form stood shoulder to shoulder with the Heterodox Nascent Soul, looking at a chubby and white Taisui in the center.
Not long ago, Fang Xi fed the purified ’Black Taisui Inner Core’ to the Taisui.
Afterward, the Demon Qi of Taisui skyrocketed and it was about to break through the third-tier limit.
In other words, it was about to face the tribulation of the fourth tier!
"The breakthrough of Taisui’s realm... I wonder what anomalies will occur..."
Fang Xi murmured to himself.
Upon reflection, this Taisui was also no small matter.
Although it was originally just discovered by the mortal, Han Fatty, and was extremely weak, its ability to cut flesh indefinitely and grow endlessly indicated something extraordinary!
’The Demon Tree was affected by the power of the Taoist Fruit... Could Taisui also be subjected to such an effect?’
A scene emerged in Fang Xi’s heart, that of the Ancestral Demon Tree’s first lightning tribulation.
It was a terrifying scene that was intolerable within the heavens and earth. It had to die once, and only through a great stroke of destiny, as well as being brought to the Alien South Wasteland by Fang Xi, was it able to barely pass the lightning tribulation.
What kind of fate awaited for this Taisui?
Thunder rumbled!
As soon as Taisui’s Demon Qi broke through the fourth tier, clouds of thunder gathered above the sky, shocking for miles around.
This was the standard Nascent Soul-level heavenly thunder!
Seeing this, Fang Xi furrowed his brows slightly: "It seems..."
Since advancing to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, his comprehension of the powers of heaven and earth had deepened.
Now, he felt that the force of the lightning tribulation seemed a bit diluted.
Let alone comparing it with the tribulation faced by the Ancestral Demon Tree, even compared to Xiao Qing and Daqing, it seemed considerably weaker.
Crack!
Above the sky, a tiny streak of green thunder with the power of destruction suddenly struck upon the Demon Qi of Taisui.
Taisui trembled slightly, yet its Demon Qi actually blocked the first heavenly thunder.
Seeing this, Fang Xi couldn’t help but comment: "I have never seen such a weak thunder tribulation before!"
"Could it be because it’s been too lazy, even the heavens can’t be bothered to strike it down?"
Zap!
The second and third heavenly thunders fell in succession.
Although their power had greatly diminished, Taisui was not able to resist them.
Soon, its Body Protective Demon Qi was shattered, and it had to face the might of the heavenly punishment directly.
The fourth lightning strike hit Taisui’s chubby, tender body, leaving behind a large charred mark.
However, that char quickly fell off, revealing an intact piece of flesh.
’After all, Taisui is used to being cut daily...’
’Such self-healing and regenerative powers probably exceed the innate ability of the ’Immortal Body’...’
The talent of the Immortal Body was something that only the Profound Turtle Clan could widely master.
But Black Taisui could master the ’Incarnate Thousands’ Divine Skill that even those fifth-tier turtle demons had not fully attained!
The difference could be seen from this alone.
Rumble!
One thunderbolt after another fell, each almost splitting Taisui in half.
Yet Taisui quickly regenerated each time, and even its aura seemed to remain mostly undisturbed.
Finally!
The last bolt of thunder, tinged with streaks of gold in its green, smashed down!
Countless bodies of Taisui were vaporized on the spot, dissolving within the thunder light...
In the end, only a fist-sized piece of flesh remained, its aura though firmly reaching the fourth-tier level.
Fang Xi, speechless, picked up the piece of flesh, knowing that as long as he continued to feed it Spirit Rice, the Taisui would soon grow back...
