Chapter 736: Chapter 682: The Opening of Ten Thousand Realms (Best Wishes for the Cunning, Brave, and Spiritual Alliance Master)_1
"Sigh!"
Just as the fifth-generation Green Barley Sword was about to completely transform into its full form, with even the dark green runes spreading out, Fang Xi voluntarily interrupted the flow of Immortal Origin Energy and did not fully activate it.
The Green Barley Sword let out a mournful cry as its brilliance abruptly dimmed.
"Indeed, with the use of Immortal Origin Energy, it’s possible to barely activate the remnants of the Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure."
A hint of joy, however, appeared on Fang Xi’s face, "Although it’s extremely difficult... If I were to truly unleash this sword, I fear it would greatly deplete my essence blood and primordial energy... Ah, given that I possess the Eternal Green Body, I need not worry about recovery issues."
As for the ’Recurrence Secret Talisman,’ how much of its effect could be retained by a cultivator Returning to Emptiness is really not something to be said lightly.
By this time, he had already confirmed that this fifth-generation Green Barley Sword could serve as his trump card!
"A remnant sword from the Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure should at least be of the same level as the inheritances of the Sword Pavilion..."
Fang Xi smiled slightly, put away the fifth-generation Green Barley Sword, and clapped his hands together.
An ancient Bronze Mirror then materialized in his palm.
"Treasures of All Heavens!"
Looking at his accompanying cheater feature, his expression became extremely solemn, and wisps of Immortal Origin Energy entered it.
"This..."
All of a sudden, Fang Xi seemed to behold countless Phoenix Seal Scripts, densely packed like cosmic stars, forming a silver-white ’river’...
"Is this the inner prohibition of the Treasures of All Heavens?"
"It turns out what I previously comprehended was merely a tiny fraction of the Way of the Void... No, it’s not even worthy of being called a fraction..."
Fang Xi became utterly engrossed.
Time went by, an untold amount, until he suddenly massaged his temples and regained his senses.
"Hiss..."
At this moment, Fang Xi was shocked to find that his own Divine Consciousness had nearly been completely exhausted, his complexion drastically changing.
He hurriedly took out a Spirit Medicine and consumed it, then after regulating his breathing for a while, the splitting headache significantly improved.
"I can’t blame myself, just now it was almost like the Treasure Mirror showed me the essence of the Void Dao in its entirety... Any cultivator would have been immersed in it."
Fang Xi sighed, while silently recalling the information he had just received.
His comprehension of the Way of the Void had probably surpassed that of many Integrations, and in the future, whether it be drawing Void Talismans, setting up teleportation arrays, or even using some Void Divine Powers, it would all be exceedingly easy, with the might also considerably amplified.
Of course, more importantly, was the new world revealed by the Treasures of All Heavens after this breakthrough in Returning to Emptiness!
"Before, with each breakthrough of a realm, I would only open one world, reaching the Transcendent God stage and with great difficulty, the Earth Immortal Realm..."
"But now, it’s..."
With Fang Xi’s Divine Thought reaching out to the Treasures of All Heavens, he ’saw’ beneath the Earth Immortal Realm what seemed like countless tiny worlds like eternal sands!
At this time, he felt that if he wished to go, he could descend upon any of the small worlds under the Earth Immortal Realm.
Not just the Mortal World, the Nine States, the Red Sun, and the like...
He could now travel to the Monster World, the Demon Realm, and some other very peculiar worlds inhabited only by Wild Beasts, without any cost!
"Treasures of All Heavens, indeed a Supreme Treasure that defies Interface Rules... Now that I am Returned to Emptiness, the resources needed from the Lower Realm would probably bankrupt an ordinary Integration cultivator, yet with this treasure’s assistance, nothing is needed..."
Fang Xi’s eyes shined brightly.
He thought of the catalogue of rare spiritual objects that his heterodox incarnation had seen at Hua Yan’s.
Many of which, only originated from specific small worlds!
If he could transport them to the Earth Immortal Realm, their value could explode by thousands to tens of thousands of times!
Such was a business of profiting immensely without any capital!
Not only that, but upon closer sensing, Fang Xi even detected many fragments of the Treasures of All Heavens.
’Treasures of All Heavens... is it longing for completeness?’
Fang Xi closed his eyes; after Returning to Emptiness, he had refined the Treasures of All Heavens even more deeply. Now, the bond was closer, and he could sense in which small worlds fragments were present.
Furthermore, a few were even in the Earth Immortal Realm!
’There are fragments in the Earth Immortal Realm? I didn’t sense them before, perhaps because the distance was too far? After all, the Earth Immortal Realm’s domain of the human race is larger than many small worlds combined...’
’Moreover, fragments of the Treasures of All Heavens, such high-rank treasures, are most likely in the hands of high-level cultivators, or hidden in Sect secret vaults, or sealed... Various prohibitions and Great Arrays obstruct the connection. Fortunately, now that my connection is deeper, I finally have some clues...’
Even so, to acquire the fragments in the Earth Immortal Realm, one would know it’d be difficult.
Even though Fang Xi had now advanced to Returning to Emptiness, in the Earth Immortal Realm, there were still Integration and even Mahayana Monks!
Hence, he decided to first deal with the fragments in the Lower Realm, and along the way look for opportunities.
With this thought in mind, Fang Xi began to meditate, and took out a strand of Buddhist beads to slowly nourish his Divine Consciousness.
This strand of Buddhist beads held no benefit to a Returning to Emptiness cultivator in terms of increasing Divine Consciousness.
It had only a slight effect in facilitating the recovery of Divine Consciousness.
As Fang Xi’s fingertips gently twirled the beads, various small Divine Skills from the Buddhism Sect emerged, calming his being...
Several days later.
Fang Xi opened his eyes, and within them, there seemed to be a flash of gentle golden light.
He opened the gift box sent by Chi Songzi and found it not to be Spirit Medicine, but rather five pieces of Immortal Jade, and he could not help but laugh.
"I got a little greedy... After Returning to Emptiness, cultivation becomes even more difficult... even in the Earth Immortal Realm, the Spirit Medicine suitable for a Returning to Emptiness cultivator to enhance Magic Power is exorbitantly priced..."
"To expect to advance by leaps and bounds relying on a massive amount of resources is almost impossible now."
"Fortunately, I cultivate the Kuyong Skills with the ’Eternal Green Body’... both benefiting each other, and my progress among Returning to Emptiness cultivators should be considered fast."
"And... there is also the Way of the Earth Immortal!"
After making his breakthrough and Returning to Emptiness, Fang Xi finally reached the threshold of cultivating the Way of the Earth Immortal!
However, at this moment, he did not immediately start.
"According to the enlightenment obtained and Changqingzi’s experience, cultivating the Way of the Earth Immortal in the Lower Realm, although it will suffer the oppression of the world, one can also feel that sense of contending with the rules of a Realm... which is more beneficial for later progress?"
"After the Earth Immortal Spirit Realm is established and the Spirit Realm is successfully cultivated, it is not as if it couldn’t be moved."
"On the contrary, the ’Earth’ in Earth Immortal is equivalent to a portable Cave Heaven that can move at will... for me, it will be even more flexible."
"And... the construction of the Earth Immortal Spirit Realm is closely related to the Cultivator’s level of cultivation."
"In other words, as the Earth Immortal Spirit Realm grows, it will in turn nourish the Cultivator’s cultivation and even assist in breaking through barriers!"
"As a cultivator of Wooden Element cultivation methods, as long as one does not compete for resources but quietly cultivates one’s field, one can upgrade one’s cultivation level... this is the Earth Immortal!"
The benefits of this ’Way of the Earth Immortal’ were quite average at the time of Returning to Emptiness.
But by the time it came to Integration, it was quite terrifying.
After all, spirit medicines suitable for Integration cultivators to enhance Magic Power and breakthrough barriers, are not just rare in the realm of Earth Immortals, a lot of them are now out of print!
Most Cultivators rely on their own talents and cultivation methods, then look for a place with superior spiritual energy to cultivate through bitter hard work, exchanging their lengthy lifespans for cultivation progress.
The Way of the Earth Immortal is always faster than theirs, and it also has no risk of pill poisoning.
After pondering the matter of the Earth Immortal, Fang Xi opened his mouth.
A blue light flew out, transforming into a ’Mixed Origin Heavenly Umbrella’.
The canopy of the umbrella at this time had numerous tiny holes and its edges were tinged with scorch marks.
This was naturally caused by being struck by the Heavenly Thunder.
"Others using such Treasures of Thunder Transformation would definitely first meet the thunder on their own as much as they can, only when they really can’t hold on, would they deploy the Treasures of Thunder Transformation, to block the critical one or two bolts of thunder..."
"Not like me, who did not cherish it much, and took it out shortly after the thunder calamity started..."
Fang Xi stretched out his palm, caressing the surface of the umbrella.
Through communication with the spirit of the artifact, he knew that although the ’Mixed Origin Heavenly Umbrella’ was somewhat damaged, it was not too severe.
After all, compared to the time the old dragon faced tribulation, it had now became intact and also had a spirit residing in it to preside over it.
As long as it was nurtured with the Immortal Origin Energy for a period of time, the damage to the Mixed Origin Heavenly Umbrella would naturally heal on its own.
...
Several years later.
The Dongfu on Lake Heart Island opened with a loud bang.
Fang Xi stepped out of the Dongfu and saw a person kneeling on the ground, who loudly said, "Congratulations to the ancestor for breaking through to Returning to Emptiness. From now on, our Wang family also has a cultivator who has Returned to Emptiness!"
This person was none other than Wang Lingying!
Through the Little Mysterious Turtle, Fang Xi knew that this person had been kneeling here for several years.
But to a Cultivator, this was nothing.
He slightly spread his Divine Consciousness and could sense that outside Lake Heart Island, compared to before, there were countless more Cultivators, some kneeling right there...
In terms of bustle, it was much more sensational than the time Wang Lingying broke through to Transcendent God.
After all, one who has Returned to Emptiness is a Great Power, fundamentally incomparable to a Transcendent God.
"Rise!"
Fang Xi waved his hand, and a surge of Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy appeared, lifting up Wang Lingying.
Wang Lingying was greatly shocked in his heart and no longer had any doubts.
He had also made it clear now that the ancestor’s advancement to Returning to Emptiness was definitely a grand celebration!
"Now that this old ancestor has broken through to Returning to Emptiness, the Wang family can also be reunited," said Fang Xi indifferently, taking out a white jade command token, "Do you recognize this?"
Wang Lingying immediately nodded, "This is the guest token of Moon Invitation Immortal City. Has the ancestor become a guest of Moon Invitation Immortal City?"
"Indeed, take this token and go to the Mysterious Dark Abyss to gather the Wang family members. The powers along the way should give you some face. Then, select those with exceptional talents and send them to Moon Invitation Immortal City for my use... for the rest, establish the Wang family in the Mysterious Dark Abyss."
The journey from the Mysterious Dark Abyss to Moon Invitation Immortal City was fraught with danger, only Cultivators who were Transcendent Gods could traverse it.
However, with the face of a guest elder of Moon Invitation Immortal City, everything was different.
Fang Xi wanted to rebuild the Wang family because he needed people.
Moreover, in the Mysterious Dark Abyss, many cannon fodder were needed to explore the overseas Immortal Mansion.
He did not have a great demand for exotic treasures and Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Medicines... as long as he could clearly understand the Array Maps of that Immortal Mansion, it would be worth it.
"Your grandson obeys," Wang Lingying held the token high in both hands, his expression very solemn.
This was the first task entrusted by the ancestor, and it must be done well!
"Oh? What about Fairy Ma’s marriage?" Fang Xi seemed to recall something, then asked another question.
Upon hearing this, Wang Lingying’s expression became a bit strange, "Reporting to the ancestor... on the day of Fairy Ma’s grand wedding, you were just making your breakthrough, stealing a great deal of the limelight... since then, Fairy Ma continued with Chi Songzi to complete the Taoist Companion ceremony, but afterwards Chi Songzi returned to his own Dongfu, and Fairy Ma did not follow..."
Fang Xi nodded slightly, saying nothing.
As someone with status in Moon Invitation Immortal City, two Cultivators who were Transcendent Gods would certainly not repudiate the marriage on the spot, slapping their own faces, and ruining the reputation of the Horse Family in one go.
But it was very likely that some friction would occur afterward, which was within expectations.
After all, it was none of his business, it was something to watch as entertainment...
