Chapter 762: Chapter 695: The Onset of Chaos_2
Otherwise, the treacherous conditions on the road would be enough to kill seven or eight out of ten low-level cultivators—even with the protection of Integration Level cultivators.
...
Sky Brahman Domain.
Fang Xi had concluded a gathering with a group of close friends and returned to his Dongfu, ready to cultivate.
’My magic power is accumulating, and in these next few days, I will be able to reach the peak of Transcendent God...’
’Then, I can break through to Returning to Emptiness.’
’The main body will not go to the Three Realms Mountain, but this place is no longer the Three Realms Mountain... It should be able to assist me greatly.’
Just as Fang Xi’s heterodox incarnation returned to the Dongfu, he saw a Voice Transmission Talisman fluttering outside the array.
He reached out to catch it, his expression turning slightly impatient.
This Voice Transmission Talisman was sent by a Transcendent God Cultivator.
When Fang Xi announced his cross-disciplinary breakthrough, finally overcoming his bottleneck, his cultivation began to advance rapidly, naturally attracting many who wished to court him.
Among these forces, he would decline once and that would be the end of it, but there were a few that were particularly persistent.
Especially this one, which was extremely vexing.
’"Sanqing Workshop," Fu Wuer...’
Fang Xi pondered silently.
This Transcendent God Cultivator was an indigenous native of the Earth Immortal Realm who later joined the Sky Brahman Army and had reached the late stages of the Transcendent God realm.
The Sanqing Workshop was also a Returning to Emptiness power, though not as powerful as the Heavenly Charm Sect, it was nonetheless respectable.
What really troubled Fang Xi was that while this force appeared to have little to do with Prime Taoist Gu and Tang Command, their attitude towards him was somewhat problematic.
’Too eager for success... Could this be another faction’s spy, or perhaps a backup plan from Changqingzi?’
’Changqingzi certainly won’t let go of the subsequent Ascending Immortals, even if his dogs die, he will just get another...’
With such concerns, Fang Xi would naturally not accept invites from any faction.
Especially those that were a little too persistent.
In his hand, six Demon Flames blazed forth, reducing the Voice Transmission Talisman to ashes. At the same time, he sent back a letter with extremely firm wording, rejecting Fu Wuer’s proposal.
...
Inside the Dongfu.
Fang Xi sat cross-legged on his meditation cushion, surrounded by an imposing aura of demon qi.
Countless streams of pure, black demon qi converged, forming a towering Demon Shadow behind him.
At the same time, the pitch-black streams of qi took on a material form, resembling crystal and covering his body to form a natural suit of armor!
From the most crucial breastplate, armguards, kneecaps, and greaves... to the final ferocious face mask, it was all complete!
"Finally..."
Fang Xi exhaled a long breath, "Perfect Transcendent God... accomplished!"
For him, achieving Perfect Transcendent God was essentially akin to becoming halfway to Returning to Emptiness!
"Next, I’ll push forward in one go and break through to Returning to Emptiness..."
"However, my progress seems a bit too fast, and the way I obtained the opportunity for Returning to Emptiness could easily attract envy... After all, I am just an Ascending Immortal without a solid foundation... But once I achieve Returning to Emptiness, I will also have enough strength to protect my little secret, after all, even Integration Level cultivators may not value the chance for Returning to Emptiness... "
In the Sky Brahman Domain today, the strongest naturally were the Integration Level cultivators.
There were a few high-ranking individuals of the Integration Level within the Sky Brahman Army.
In the 99 territories of the human race, each domain had at least one Integration Level cultivator, and only the most peak beings among the Integration Level cultivators were qualified to compete for the position of ’Five Sons of the Human Race’!
After ensuring that his magic power was perfectly harmonious and unaffected by any mysterious attraction, Fang Xi calmly came out of seclusion.
He planned to choose a secluded place to ascend to Returning to Emptiness through tribulation.
Just as he was about to fly out of Black Rock Market Town, a streak of light arrived, revealing the figure of a monk with slanting eyes and wearing a dark robe.
"It turns out to be Sir Fu..."
Upon seeing him, Fang Xi’s expression remained unchanged, "Mr. Fu, what brings you here?"
"Mr. Fang, you have repeatedly refused my Sanqing Workshop—do you not take Long, who supports us from behind, seriously?"
Fu Wuer snorted coldly, his tone laced with a hint of coercion.
’This is not normal... A Transcendent God Cultivator wouldn’t act like this, unless it’s deliberate, or he has gone mad from his cultivation practice.’
Fang Xi looked at Fu Wuer, who seemed to bear deep hatred towards him, and felt a trace of wariness. Yet his face bore a smile as he replied, "Sir, your words are too harsh. I have always been a hermit by nature, not wishing to join any forces... As for how you report to Long, that is your own business. Just so you know... two of my good friends are disciples of the Heavenly Charm Sect."
Fu Wuer’s expression stiffened, immediately turning slightly gloomy.
Even without mentioning the Heavenly Charm Sect, the small group that Fang Xi formed with Xu Qingzi, Master Kuantao, and others had a certain renown among Ascending Immortals.
If someone hadn’t tipped him off, he would not have wanted to provoke the other party, but at this point, he couldn’t help it.
Just as he was about to issue another harsh statement, suddenly...
Dong!
Dong Dong!
The grating sound of a bell rang out, audible throughout Black Rock Market Town.
"The bell of heavenly sound signals warning... anyone who fails to arrive at the Command Dongfu after ninety-nine bell tolls will be severely punished!"
Both Fang Xi and Fu Wuer’s expressions changed instantly, exchanging glances before flying straight towards the core of the market town.
The Returning to Emptiness cultivator stationed in Black Rock Market Town, known as ’Lord YuanYin’, had an especially unique Dongfu dotted with pavilions, terraces, and towers. There was even a Spirit Pool a few acres in size with all kinds of lotus flowers blooming within.
These lotus flowers were Spirit Plants, blooming all year round, wilting not and carrying with them an aroma that purifies the mind and brings tranquility.
’This pool of lotus flowers... is subtly hiding an array...’
