Chapter 680: Chapter 652: Picking Up the Leak _2
Wu Xingzi laughed heartily, and the radiance on the bronze mirror receded, leaving no light or shadow.
Clap!
Changqingzi stowed away the bronze mirror, his face also revealing a faint smile, "Old fellow, I’ll indulge you a few more years of life, but once I’ve obtained that Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure, you’ll pay for this!"
...
Minghuan World.
The Taiqing Sect mountain gate, Ancestor Hall.
On this day.
Three beams of Escape Light converged, their expressions slightly excited as they looked at the hanging portraits, "The ancestor has manifested, sending messages across realms?"
Min Hongru’s expression was incredibly solemn as he led his junior brother and sister in a bow before looking up at the very top of the Ancestor Hall.
There, a purple jade monument was emanating a strange light.
Then, a circle of radiance spilled out, adhering to one of the portraits.
In the portrait was a young scholar, seemingly enjoying wine by the moonlight.
"Is it the manifestation of the thirty-second generation ancestor?"
A male cultivator at the mid-Transcendent God stage exclaimed with delight.
The founding ancestor of the Taiqing Sect only cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage before passing away, but the second-generation ancestor was extremely gifted, ascending to the Transcendent God stage and establishing the great foundation of the Taiqing Sect, with successive generations almost always having Transcendent God cultivators.
The thirty-second generation ancestor was even more so an outstanding figure of his time!
"The ancestor transmitting a message, it’s been thousands of years since such an event last happened. I wonder what great changes are afoot..."
The last Transcendent God cultivator sighed.
She was a beautiful woman in pink robes, with soft facial features and a gentle demeanor.
"Here it comes!"
Min Hongru suddenly spoke up, and the divine thoughts of the three Transcendent God cultivators focused on the purple jade monument.
The Void cracked open, and Phoenix Seal characters emerged, wandering unpredictably.
From the Taixu Passage, a wisp of green smoke crossed worlds and landed atop the purple jade, revealing faint inscriptions.
The three great Transcendent God cultivators glanced at it and exchanged looks of consternation.
After a long while, the junior sister at the early stage of Transcendent God broke the silence, "Min senior brother, you must make a decision... The ancestor actually wants us to apprehend the person who caused the blood rain phenomena, how could the ancestor know what’s happened in our realm? And to promise that if we succeed, we’re assured a breakthrough upon ascension, surpassing the Returning to Emptiness phase?!"
The junior brother at the mid-Transcendent God stage was clearly tempted, for every chance to make a significant breakthrough was worth risking their lives for every cultivator!
"That Yun Jiezi is not easy to deal with."
Min Hongru hesitated, as he had actually met Fang Xi in person and knew that the cultivator was not to be trifiled with.
Moreover, he possessed that one unknown yet formidable Divine Skill!
"Humph, we need not be overly intimidated by descriptions from ancient books..." The junior brother in mid-Transcendent God stage scoffed coldly, "Our Taiqing Sect’s Shenxiao ThunderSkills, if cultivated to the Mahayana Realm, are only a hair’s breadth away from those legendary Divine Skills... Moreover, with the support of our ancestor’s heritage, even if the opponent is a formidable Divine Skill cultivator, could he really fight beyond his rank and defeat those in the Returning to Emptiness stage?"
"Our sect’s heritage is more than sufficient for self-preservation, but far from enough to provoke others... That Yun Jiezi wouldn’t trap himself in a hopeless situation either," spoke the graceful woman softly.
"However... we might not be the only ones taking action this time."
Min Hongru, thinking of something, suddenly wore a peculiar expression...
...
Meanwhile.
Li Gou Immortal City.
"I wonder if any Returning to Emptiness cultivators will descend to the Lower Realm..."
Fang Xi, who had mastered the ’Supreme Northern Dipper Life-controlling Divine Light’, hadn’t left Little Moon Lake, but instead continued in seclusion to comprehend it.
Currently equipped with formidable Divine Skills, even if faced with a Returning to Emptiness cultivator, he could use ten years of his own lifespan to deplete one year of the opponent’s lifespan.
Although it seemed like a huge waste, in reality, with the Ancestral Demon Tree at his disposal providing an endless source of lifespan, he hardly cared about this consumption.
Therefore, he could remain untroubled.
Furthermore... if his enemies were too strong, he could just beat a hasty retreat.
The Lower Realm was vast like a sandy desert; even if the Returning to Emptiness stage beings wanted to traverse the Void, it would not be easy, and he could just let them search one by one.
Even if they found the Mortal Realm... then he could just hide in the Earth Immortal Realm!
With the ’Treasures of All Heavens’ at his disposal, retreating or advancing was at his ease.
That was why Fang Xi chose to stay a little longer, at least until he attended the once-in-a-hundred-year grand auction of Minghuan World before departing.
Having voiced his support previously, the event was still hosted by Li Gou Immortal City, which was like having a market set up at his doorstep; very convenient indeed.
On this day.
Fang Xi emerged from his Dongfu, while his aura was restrained to the Core Formation realm, he headed to the marketplace.
Although he had recently been diligently practicing his Divine Skill, he also found it incredibly difficult to elevate the ’Supreme Northern Dipper Life-Commanding Supernatural Power’ to the next level, achieving Small Accomplishments.
Therefore, he set aside this matter for the time being, preparing to participate in this grand auction first.
Many of Minghuan World’s specialties were commendable, with some of the top-tier Spiritual Objects even being rare in the Earth Immortal Realm; Fang Xi could not resist making several purchases, taking the treasures that served as the pride of several shops.
Cultivators often had a keen eye, and even if they couldn’t immediately discern the origins of the treasures, they were sure of their value, often attaching sky-high prices.
Unfortunately, however cunning they were, against Fang Xi, who could trade across multiple realms, the profit he would make after acquisition was still several to dozens of times the cost!
’After this return, I must seclude myself for arduous cultivation, and begin the Sacrifical Refining of the ’Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm’, striving to open the ’Spirit Realm’ as soon as possible!’ Fang Xi resolved privately.
The core of the Earth Immortal Heritage lay in the ’Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm’, akin to a portable piece of the cosmos.
Once the Spirit Realm was opened, one could resist the laws of the Lower Realm and even use it against enemies, which was highly advantageous.
Fang Xi, who possessed the Earth Immortal Heritage, had contemplated long on how to construct the ’Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm’, and by now had gained some insights.
