Chapter 571: Chapter 569: Breaking Through Transcendent God (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_1
Time passed leisurely.
Maple Leaf Island.
Ruan Zhanjun, the Elder of the Ruan family, was sitting in meditation and practicing Qi Refining in a secret chamber.
His aura was complete and flawless, having already formed a Gold Core Pill, he stepped into the ranks of mid-to-high-level cultivators.
A sweep of Divine Consciousness over Maple Leaf Island, and everything on it became clear as day.
Fang Xi couldn’t be bothered to speak to this guy, who had long severed ties of affection, and simply took a stroll on Maple Leaf Island at his leisure.
With his current level of cultivation, if he wished to conceal himself from detection, even if he passed right in front of Ruan Zhanjun, this Core Formation master could only play the part of a seeing eye blind.
After touring around, Fang Xi then visited Dragon Fish Island and saw Hai Danaiu, who showed even more signs of old age.
This man, old in years but not in spirit, has taken numerous concubines since the death of his spouse.
Now the Hai family has flourished on Dragon Fish Island. Many family members chose the inheritance of the Spirit Plant Farmer, diligently studying and showing great potential to carry on and expand this lineage...
Fang Xi didn’t disturb them either and went to Ling Kong Island. He stood in silence at the ancestral burial ground of the Yan family for a long time before sighing and departing in melancholy.
The last stop was Peach Blossom Island.
Regardless, that was where he had started, and many old acquaintances were buried there.
After paying respects one by one, Fang Xi silently returned to Jade Island.
Apart from himself, not even Ling Shu knew that he had gone out.
"The road of longevity... old friends wither away..."
Savoring this sentiment, Fang Xi called over Zhong Hongyu, Ling Shu, and Liu Xu: "In some days, I will completely seal off Jade Island... Cut off from the outside world, Evergreen Hall will become forbidden ground. Anyone who dares to intrude will be killed without discussion!"
"Yes!"
Ling Shu solemnly agreed, suddenly raising a thought in her heart, "Could it be...?"
Her gaze towards Fang Xi carried unspeakable shock, envy, and admiration. She then bowed deeply, "I only wish for the Island Master’s success."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Jade Island shook, and a massive Demonic Beast Tree stretched across the heavens, with countless Qi Roots cascading down.
A vast amount of dark mist spilled over, thickly enveloping the entire island like a giant chaotic black egg.
— Yin Yang Nine Nether Mysterious Wood Array!
In the deep darkness, rays of starlight sprinkled down. Three hundred and sixty-five Stellar Pagodas ran along specific trajectories, exuding mysterious and intimidating radiance.
— Heaven Star Array!
With these two Great Arrays at his disposal, Fang Xi was confident that even if Ancestor Huo entered the formation, he could make him perish on the spot!
He walked around Evergreen Hall and suddenly raised his hand, summoning it forth.
A Heterodox Nascent Soul appeared, still grasping a silver-white Eight Clawed Spider.
"Fortune Worm!"
Fang Xi’s eyes lit up as he took the worm in his hands and observed it closely.
The abdomen of the worm was swollen, indicating that it was full of fortune, perhaps mostly made up of that from Ancestor Huo.
"In the Red Sun World, I’m already equivalent to a Dao Ancestor. Coupled with that many Evil Path Golden Cores... It’s a pity that this fortune is still not comparable to that of a Transcendent God."
"Transcendent God, Transcendent God!" Fang Xi’s eyes blazed with eagerness.
The realm of Transcendent God!
This is the pinnacle of cultivation in the Three Thousand Lesser Worlds, right beneath the Earth Immortal Realm!
Taking this step would mean becoming a notable figure even in the Earth Immortal Realm.
He formed a magic spell with his hands, and his Nascent Soul appeared, starting another round of assimilation with the Heterodox Nascent Soul.
Then he ordered, "When I enter closed-door cultivation for my breakthrough, you will protect the law here!"
As for Xiao Qing and Daqing? It would be better for them to stay inside the Mountain Sea Pearl and not come out to cause trouble.
After all, with Fang Xi’s arrangements in the Southern Wilderness, he was nearly invincible.
...
Inside the Dongfu.
Fang Xi burned incense, bathed, and sat cross-legged in meditation.
This sitting lasted for seven days and nights.
On that day, he pondered in silence and suddenly grasped the essence, taking out the "Fortune Worm."
A magic spell landed on the worm.
The worm, resembling an Eight Clawed Spider, instantly deflated, and a mysterious essence was reciprocated from it, enhancing Fang Xi.
Feeling lighter, Fang Xi smiled and stored the "Fortune Worm" away.
This worm, reaching the fifth tier, could potentially aid in a breakthrough to the realm of Transcendent God. However, unless it was elevated to the sixth tier, even if he gathered fortune to assist him, it would be futile for breaking through the Returning to Emptiness bottleneck.
’It’s already good to have it increase my chances now,’ he thought.
Fang Xi meditated with closed eyes, the Secret Foundational Technique of God Transformation he had obtained from the old ghost unfolding in his mind, word for word.
He had long studied this technique, and while in The Nine States, he had simulated it with virtual Dantians and such, ensuring it was flawless.
With that in mind, he no longer hesitated, his hands forming a peculiar magic spell.
Within the Dantian Qi Ocean, the three-inch-tall primary Nascent Soul giggled as it touched the Treasures of All Heavens in its hands. The last bit of ’Sky Demon Qi’ was absorbed into the mirror and then transformed by the Triphasic Destroying Origin Skill into an incredibly pure Immortal Origin Energy, which the main Nascent Soul inhaled through a small mouth.
The next instant, white worm-like objects began to rapidly appear over the main Nascent Soul’s body, drilling around in the limbs, bones, and throughout the meridians!
Fang Xi’s face momentarily contorted.
Luckily, his formidable body could fully withstand the pain of spiritual energy infusion.
He forcefully circulated the breakthrough points of the Kuyong Skills, using a copious amount of Kuyong Skills magic power to envelop the rich and pure spiritual energy, circulating it repeatedly within his body.
At the same time, threads of Divine Consciousness were being unleashed far and wide, pulling at the spiritual energy between heaven and earth!
...
Ling Shu was sitting cross-legged in her Dongfu when she suddenly sensed a terrifying Spiritual Pressure emanating from the direction of the Evergreen Hall.
"As expected..."
She let out a deep sigh and turned into a streak of Escape Light, appearing mid-air.
Before long, Zhong Hongyu and Liu Xu also hurried over, their faces filled with confusion, "What is happening to the young master..."
"If my guess is right, the Island Master must be breaking through the Transcendent God bottleneck!"
Ling Shu spoke with a grave expression, "If the Island Master successfully breaks through, he will become the first Cultivator in the South Wilderness Cultivation Realm to achieve Transcendence God status in a thousand years!"
"Transcendent God?!"
Zhong Hongyu couldn’t help feeling disheartened.
With her aptitude, even if she barely managed to form her Nascent Soul, transcending to godhood was an impossibility.
On the other hand, Liu Xu’s eyes were filled with admiration and a flame of excitement.
This was the pinnacle of cultivation in the Mortal Realm!
Once one stepped into Transcendent God, there was hope of ascending to the Earth Immortal Realm!
Just as the three were lost in their thoughts, the heavens and earth suddenly trembled.
Countless dots of multicolored light appeared out of the void, from the radiance of the sun, moon, and stars, and from within the mountains and rivers... These were the physical forms of Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Power, belonging to the Five Elements, with rolling five-colored halos ebbing and flowing like the tide. It even drained the spiritual energy within a thousand miles, its magnitude so immense that it was astonishing to witness!
"The Core Formation Phenomenon at most stirs the area for dozens of miles... the Infant Condensation Phenomenon shocks hundreds of miles..."
Ling Shu murmured, "This Transcendent God Phenomenon actually spreads for a thousand miles... Such a terrifying fluctuation of spiritual energy, truly rare in this world."
Swoosh swoosh!
White, red, yellow, black, green...
The myriad hues of extreme light, like rainbows, converged above Jade Island, forming a lake of five-colored glows that reflected all in stunning beauty.
But Zhong Hongyu and the other cultivators didn’t dare to even breathe heavily.
They naturally knew that if this seemingly miraculous lake of five-colored glows could not remain stable, it would bring a catastrophe to Jade Island!
"The initial drawing in of Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Power, creating the Transcendent God Phenomenon..."
Ling Shu muttered to herself, "If one more step is taken to draw the Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Power into the body, the breakthrough will be complete, and one will become an early-stage Transcendent God Cultivator."
She learned these secrets of advancement from an ancient book left by her master. She never thought she’d witness them in her lifetime, yet today she was seeing it with her own eyes!
The five-colored lake of glows hovered above the Evergreen Hall but seemed to be obstructed by an invisible force, unable to fall.
Upon witnessing this scene, a cold huff suddenly emanated from within the Evergreen Hall.
And then...
The heavens roared, and the three hundred and sixty-five Stellar Pagodas emitted Mysterious Light. Countless beams of light recombined and aligned themselves... forming an "All Heavens Ten Grounds Sun and Moon Five Stars Demonic Destruction Divine Light" that powerfully crashed down!
This time, the "All Heavens Ten Grounds Sun and Moon Five Stars Demonic Destruction Divine Light" did not carry a force of destruction, but, at a critical juncture, it gave a ’push’.
Pop!
As if breaking through an invisible barrier, the five-colored lake of glows tilted downward, with streaks of extreme light entering the Evergreen Hall.
Boom!
The vast lake of five-colored glows condensed continuously until it completely disappeared into the Evergreen Hall.
All presence went silent in an instant.
And the next moment, a pressure far beyond that of a Nascent Soul Cultivator emerged, spreading far and wide without limit!
Zhong Hongyu and Liu Xu, both Core Formation Cultivators, turned pale, unable to maintain their Magic Power and were forced to land on the ground. Yet, their faces were filled with joy, "Has the young master... succeeded?!"
...
Within the closed-door cultivation room.
Fang Xi sat cross-legged, his Nascent Soul playing above his Heavenly Spirit.
With just a slight raise of the hand, a beam of Fire Formation Divine Light gathered between heaven and earth.
That Fire Formation Divine Light then transformed into a verdant ’Wood Formation Divine Light,’ and even willingly merged with the ’Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light,’ the two integrating seamlessly, as if predestined.
"A Transcendent God Cultivator directly manipulates the Spiritual Power of heaven and earth... So this is what it feels like?"
The main Nascent Soul murmured and then lightly tapped.
A censer placed in front of Fang Xi immediately ignited, with wisps of blue smoke rising upwards.
Within the incense was the scent of sandalwood, and faint traces of Buddhist chants and singing could be heard.
On Fang Xi’s body, golden swastika symbols even began to appear.
After completing all this, the main Nascent Soul nodded contentedly, turned into a green speck of light, and burrowed through the Heavenly Spirit into the body.
Immediately after officially breaking through the Transcendent God bottleneck, one must face the three major tribulations!
If one fails to cross them, it’s the end of one’s life and path, with no chance of redemption!
And among the many tribulations, the Heart Demon Tribulation naturally comes the fastest!
Fang Xi’s Sea of Consciousness blurred, and he fell into an illusion.
...
Above the sky, the ’Sun True Fire Cover’ and ’Heaven Star Array’ roared, countless rays of light descending.
The Heterodox Nascent Soul, with a fierce expression, declared, "There can only be one Fang Xi in the Cultivation World, and it will be me... You, the original, can go die!"
Fang Xi was startled upon seeing this scene.
Yet, deep down, something didn’t feel quite right.
Having been through the Mortal World Refining Heart, with powerful Divine Consciousness, and having experienced many joys and sorrows through the "Seven Emotions and Sorrows Script," he already possessed some resistance to it.
