Chapter 674: Chapter 649 Cultivating the Great Divine Skill_2
Fang Xi gave a faint smile and tossed a jade bottle over.
Master Zhui Yue received it, and with just a sweep of her divine thought, she knew it was a rare spirit medicine.
Her heart stirred, and even more so, she was astounded.
After all, she had not yet truly employed body-refining techniques, yet the Yun Jiezi opposite her had seemingly seen through some of her secrets, nearly causing her to feel a great terror, as if she had been stripped bare...
At this moment, she silently recited the Purification Mantra and her Zen heart finally returned to being as tranquil as an ancient well, "Many thanks, sir..."
...
Lake Heart Island.
Fang Xi chose a spot, built a hut, and became neighbors with Master Zhui Yue.
The spiritual energy of this lake’s heart island was abundant, and it was tended with great elegance, which he found quite satisfactory.
Within the thatched cottage.
What originally seemed like a narrow and closed hut turned out to be another world once inside.
The first thing that caught the eye was a huge living room with walls at the top studded with all kinds of luminous pearls that continually radiated light, like the stars in the sky.
And by entering through different passages, one could go to the study, the alchemy room, the talisman-making room, the beast pen, the herb garden... indeed, a hidden realm within a realm.
This was also common in the Minghuan World; this realm had a good understanding of crafting treasures of the void, with many books on arrays containing special array patterns for arranging such space-expanding techniques inside dongfus.
Fang Xi just casually arranged things and then entered a secret chamber to begin his seclusion.
"Although practicing the ’Supreme Northern Dipper Life-controlling Divine Light’ doesn’t have strict requirements for spiritual energy, it is still possible to cultivate other techniques at the same time..."
He obtained the full set of the Kuyong Skills and had recently returned to the righteous path. He must not waste this time and could quietly accumulate magic power in hopes of reaching the Perfect Transcendent God realm faster.
"To advance the Kuyong Skills to Returning to Emptiness, there is a secret skill included for refining Five Elements Spiritual Objects... Those Five Elements Spiritual Objects need to be at least of the fifth order, which is actually quite lavish..."
Such pure essence of the Five Elements, upon reaching the fifth order, served as the best material for sacrificial refining of pure attribute Spirit Communicating Treasures.
Fang Xi didn’t even have a complete set in his hands!
"From studying this secret skill, if I can find pure attribute treasures of water, fire, earth, metal, and then sacrifice them into my body, I could make do..."
"But the path I need to follow is the merging of the three energies..."
Although whatever method one used to break through to Returning to Emptiness, the early stages are similar, the success rate is not the same!
Among the secret techniques Fang Xi had for breaking through to Returning to Emptiness,
the Merging of Three Energies had the highest success rate!
Refining Five Elements Spiritual Objects came second.
Directly causing a heterodox incarnation to return to the source, with both righteous and demon combined, came third.
Afterwards, cultivating the Five Elements or the Three Wonders methods, consuming Biyi Breaking Virtual Pills, and so on...
As for the Mutual Restraint of Metal and Wood from the Wood Blade Spell? That was considered the most risky with the lowest success rate, as it’s a new method, not quite perfected yet.
Naturally, Fang Xi’s first choice was ’Merging of Three Energies’, and it would be best to combine it with several other secret methods to maximize the success rate to ensure a one-shot success in breaking through to Returning to Emptiness!
"Merging of Three Energies... Getting Immortal Origin Energy is easy, even the Lower Realm has it, but as for Sky Demon Qi and True Demon Qi, unless I can immediately open the passages to the Monster World and the Demon Realm, it would be more convenient to find them in the Upper Realm."
These two materials weren’t difficult to acquire; he just needed to find two beings in the Returning to Emptiness stage who practised pure Monster Clan and Demon Clan techniques.
However... Fang Xi was of the human race, and in the Earth Immortal Realm, these three clans were as incompatible as fire and water.
For this reason, Fang Xi was thinking of making a trip to the Three Realms Mountain.
If there’s anywhere in the Earth Immortal Realm where humans could most easily obtain these two materials, it would naturally be around the Three Realms Mountain.
Thinking of the Three Realms Mountain reminded him of the Celestial Immortal Fang Immortal Taoist Master who ascended, as well as Ice Xuanzi, and that fifth-order turtle demon.
"With Fang Immortal Taoist Master’s remarkable presence, upon entering the Earth Immortal Realm, he’s like a flood dragon entering the sea. I wonder how he’s doing now... Perhaps he’s already close to Returning to Emptiness?"
Fang Xi felt no jealousy whatsoever.
Because he never compared himself with that person.
Armed with the Treasures of All Heavens and Earth Immortal Heritage, as long as he cultivated step by step, there was hope to ascend to the True Immortal Realm in the future, even much stronger than an average True Immortal of Origin Soul.
He didn’t demand the path of the Celestial Immortal, and thus he was already quite content.
After calming his emotions slightly and regulating his breath for three days, Fang Xi closed his eyes slightly, and the Dragon Chapter Script Secret Skills emerged within his Sea of Consciousness.
Gazing upon those Ancient Seal Scripts that looked as though dragons and serpents were racing across the pages, like flood dragons soaring, Fang Xi’s heart was somewhat fascinated.
For decades, while pondering secret skills, he frequently practiced this Dragon Chapter Script, even trying to imprint it onto jade slips.
However, the jade slips kept shattering, unable to bear the script.
Perhaps only by using the Golden Cicada Shedding would there be a slight possibility of bearing it.
Fang Xi even suspected that if he hadn’t had a foundation in Dragon Chapter Script, even if he had memories of Changqingzi, he would have quickly become confused and even forgotten the techniques upon seeing this set of scripts!
"Supreme Northern Dipper..."
He murmured, his expression suddenly becoming extremely solemn.
Immediately after, Fang Xi closed his eyes, and atop his head, a flash of spiritual light revealed a green Nascent Soul.
This Nascent Soul held the Treasure Mirror in its embrace, with many treasures dancing around it, subtly regarding the Green Barley Sword as the most esteemed.
Amongst the many treasures, a seemingly unremarkable small seal flew out and landed in front of the Nascent Soul.
This seal was very four-square, its body dark, seemingly crafted from black wood.
That’s actually my second life-bound magical artifact..."
Fang Xi looked at the seal, and there was a hint of a wry smile on the little face of the Nascent Soul.
His first life-bound magical artifact was naturally the Treasures of All Heavens, but his second one was actually this ’Life-Death Seal,’ though it had always had a very weak presence.
