Chapter 796: Chapter 712: Start Development Again (Extra Chapter, Asking for Monthly Tickets)_1
’Finally, they left...’
After the Divine Calculator had left, Fang Xi murmured to himself, yet he did not reveal his thoughts.
On the contrary, holding the jade bottle containing the ’Cloud Falling Mysterious Pill’, his face broke into a smile, filled with excitement, "The Divine Calculator is truly a paragon of the human race..."
As a cultivator who was at least at the peak of the Middle Stage of Integration, if the Divine Calculator had wanted to remain hidden, Fang Xi would most likely have been unable to detect him.
This possibility had to be remembered!
Therefore, Fang Xi’s routine in the following days was to heal and cultivate...
Even the cultivation work of creating ’Phoenix Seal Talisman’ from Wanmin Paper was put aside.
...
Several days later.
In the very center of Sky Brahman City, the super teleportation array roared to life.
And then, figures radiating terrifying auras stepped out from the array, prompting a cheer from the surviving soldiers of the Sky Brahman Army, "Reinforcements... the reinforcements have finally arrived."
At the same time, Fang Xi also encountered a group of acquaintances.
Inside the Dongfu.
"Master Kuantao, Sir Xu Qingzi, and Fairy Pu..."
He looked at the three Transcendent Gods, a trace of joy appearing on his face: "Seeing the three of you unharmed truly fills me with immeasurable joy..."
"Greetings to the senior!"
Xu Qingzi respectfully saluted, and a sincere smile appeared on his face: "I have yet to congratulate the senior for breaking through the major bottleneck of Returning to Emptiness. From now on, you will enjoy a lifespan that spans thousands of autumns and lasts for ages..."
A Transcendent God cultivator could live for only around four to five thousand years, whereas one who had Returned to Emptiness could enjoy a lifespan of over ten thousand years!
Such is the allure of a rise in realm!
"Alright, you three friends must have come here for a matter?"
Fang Xi took a sip of Spiritual Tea and casually inquired.
"Indeed, we wish to join under the senior’s banner and await your dispatch... During the previous beast tide, we were arbitrarily assigned by our superiors and nearly perished... It seems that Ascending Immortals must stick together to possess the power to protect themselves..."
Master Kuantao replied with a somewhat troubled expression.
"Stick together, eh? Sadly... I have already left the Sky Brahman Army," Fang Xi shook his head with a sigh.
"However..."
Seeing the somewhat disappointed expressions on their faces, he continued, "Yunxi and Liu Xu of the Heavenly Charm Sect will arrive soon. Perhaps the three of you friends might seek to join forces with them..."
After saying farewell to the three somewhat absent-minded Transcendent Gods, Fang Xi heaved a long sigh.
Fang Xi indeed could hardly spare any attention for these Transcendent God cultivators.
After all, the Divine Calculator might be watching him, or might have calculated something.
Of course, it’s also possible that he was being overly cautious and suspicious!
’But no matter what, I must not descend to the lower realm any time soon...’
Fang Xi felt his Storage Bag.
Inside it, there was still the Heaven Phoenix Feather that he had risked intercepting. If he could use it in the refining of the ’Five Fires Seven Birds Fan,’ the power of his imitation of this Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure would certainly surpass its current state by a few points.
’Now that the super teleportation array is open, perhaps I can return to the Three Realms Mountain, or even visit other regions of the human race...’
’But there’s no need to rush. After all, I have a long lifespan ahead of me...’
’The main body is currently leisurely farming and developing. There’s no urgent need for the Five Fires Seven Birds Fan. I have all the time in the world to wait...’
...
Time flows like water.
With the fall of a Heaven Phoenix and the reopening of the super teleportation array.
The Brahma Heaven Region was once again bustling with the pioneering fervor.
Many low-level cultivators were relocated from various places, vowing to build the Sky Brahman Region into another land of joy for the human race.
Fang Xi didn’t leave and instead stayed in Sky Brahman City, renting a Dongfu, as he watched the clouds roll by...
Yunxi and Fairy Liu Xu also returned to Sky Brahman City one after the other. As the Heavenly Charm Sect had lost a Returning to Emptiness cultivator, they even specifically dispatched another to take charge of the situation and also paid a visit to Fang Xi.
Fang Xi naturally chose to tell the truth, as his dealings with Fairy Qianhua and the final twist of events had nothing that couldn’t be shared with others.
Since he had already left the Sky Brahman Army, he was naturally not subject to conscription for the pioneering work.
On the contrary, Master Kuantao, Xu Qingzi, and Liu Xu had no choice but to continue investing themselves in the tense and dangerous pioneering work, gradually suffering losses.
The last news Fang Xi received was that Xu Qingzi, a Perfect Transcendent God, had encountered an attack by a malevolent creature and had sadly perished...
Although this cultivator seemed not to have much hope of ascending to Returning to Emptiness, it still left Fang Xi feeling a touch of regret...
...
Time rushes by.
Before he knew it, a hundred years had passed...
In the Mortal Realm.
Within the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm, a lush and verdant landscape spread out.
The stout Demon Trees, like World Trees, shielded the sky and the sun, spreading Mother Qi of All Woods everywhere.
Yellow Bean Strongmen and Copper Bean Armor Warriors diligently toiled in the Spiritual Fields.
The Horned Wood Dragon and the Wood Monster played leisurely on the grass.
While the Taisui Meat Mountain in the west remained as usual, in the pond to the east, Daqing was once again bullying the Land Mountain Turtle...
Underneath the Demon Tree.
Roots intertwined, forming a vine-made meditation cushion.
A young man in a green robe was sitting cross-legged on it with his hands joined in prayer, then swiftly separated.
Hum!
An Ancient Bronze Mirror appeared between his hands, devoid of any aura, yet it made this Returning to Emptiness cultivator feel a hint of trepidation.
"The last fragment from the Lower Realm has finally been gathered..."
Thinking of the gains from his recent journey, Fang Xi couldn’t help but curl his lips into a slight smile.
Now looking at it again, he could see that the ’Treasures of All Heavens’ were nearly complete, revealing its full form.
The simple Phoenix Seal Script twisted around the entire bronze mirror, with only a few parts damaged and missing some larger fragments.
"The easy-to-gnaw meat of the Lower Realm is gone, and to collect fragments now, I can only nibble on bones in the Earth Immortal Realm..."
With that thought, Fang Xi fell silent.
Since he had returned to emptiness, his sacrificial refining of the Treasures of All Heavens had deepened, giving him a sense of the fragments.
He could now confirm that those fragments had ended up within the territories of the human race, demons, and demonic beasts. They might even have fallen into the hands of a great cultivator.
’I’m just a Returning to Emptiness after all... better wait for now.’
’The matter of the fragments... is not urgent.’
’What’s most important now is improving my cultivation... If I were a Mahayana Individual Immortal, the owners of the fragments in the Earth Immortal Realm might very well bring their treasures right to me!’
With a sweep of his divine thought, everything within the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm came into his view.
At the same time, the quantity of the Mother Qi of All Woods was clearly revealed in his Sea of Consciousness.
"Four hundred and ninety-six acres!"
Fang Xi sighed, "Is this as far as I can get by scavenging the Spirit Plants of the Lower Realm?"
The growth of the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm is inseparable from the transplantation of various rare Spirit Plants.
But such a task is inevitably more difficult as one progresses.
By now, Fang Xi had become very Buddhist about it.
After all, as long as he diligently tended to the Spiritual Field, it would naturally grow on its own!
’Without relying on any external forces... the current state of the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm would allow for the birth of roughly one more acre of Mother Qi of All Woods each year after deducting consumption... which means I would need another five hundred and four years to scrape together a thousand acres... and reach the peak of the early stage of Returning to Emptiness! Then I can attempt to break through!’
In fact, for a cultivator who has returned to emptiness, being able to perfect a minor realm in less than a thousand years is already an astonishing speed.
As for Fang Xi... he did not care!
Since he was rooted in the Lower Realm, he did not fear much and certainly didn’t feel any urgency.
It’s just that for some reason, Changqingzi seemed to have learned a lesson and did not send any Returning to Emptiness cultivators to the Lower Realm, shattering his dream of reaping big profits...
—If Changqingzi did indeed send Returning to Emptiness cultivators to the Lower Realm, Fang Xi would truly die laughing.
With the resistance of the Interface Power of the Mortal Realm, even if he did not use the Supreme Northern Dipper Life-controlling Divine Light, he might easily kill Returning to Emptiness cultivators!
At that time, whatever Storage Bags and treasures they carried would naturally belong to him.
"Forget it... since there’s no extra windfall, I’ll solidify my foundation steadily. There’s no rush..."
Fang Xi’s mentality was good, what comes is fortune, what escapes is fate.
Without high hopes, there can be no disappointment.
Just like Daqing... despite such favorable conditions, it was still only at the peak of the fourth order and couldn’t even break through the Transcendent God Sect threshold!
In comparison, Little Mysterious Turtle was much more promising, having already cultivated to the perfection of the fifth order, merely waiting to cross the Major Heavenly Tribulation!
"Is this the mighty power of light and time?"
Fang Xi stroked his chin, feeling that compared to raising a turtle, it might be time to throw out the Daqing fish...
While contemplating, he tucked away the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm and, with a flash of silver light, arrived in the Earth Immortal Realm.
Moon Invitation Immortal City.
At the Dongfu on Lake Heart Island.
Within the deepest secret chamber.
He walked out leisurely and heard some noise inside the Dongfu.
A female cultivator, whose face resembled the Silver Moon and was draped in a light veil exuding a non-human aura, approached and curtsied gracefully, "I welcome Master out of seclusion!"
"Tai Yin... any news recently?"Fang Xi yawned, indulging in the services of Fairy Tai Yin.This ’Fairy Tai Yin’ was the fifth-order puppet he had crafted, now essentially the overseer of the Dongfu.After all, he could hardly count on the Little Mysterious Turtle outside to handle the coming and going of affairs!And with these two as a cover, Fang Xi had continuously created the illusion that the ’Wang Family Ancestor was in seclusion.’By now within Moon Invitation Immortal City, rumors had begun to spread saying that the Wang Family Ancestor was as slow as a turtle, staying put for hundreds of years...Fang Xi, of course, did not take this seriously.He could accept all benefits from the sugar-coated shells of the Horse Family without batting an eye, so what difference did a few remarks make?Moreover, it’s normal for newly promoted Returning to Emptiness cultivators to familiarize themselves with their cultivation and magic power and practice their secret skills for a long time when in seclusion.He walked out of the Dongfu, stepped onto Lake Heart Island, and immediately furrowed his brows slightly."Is this... Heavenly Might?!"Fang Xi sensed a slight pressure coming from the void, looking towards the depths of the lake.There, a giant Profound Turtle, large as a house, was curled inside its shell, using the ’Turtle Breath Skills’ to sleep. Its aura was horrifyingly powerful, having reached perfect fifth order!’If it weren’t for Little Mysterious Turtle forcibly suppressing its own cultivation level using the Turtle Breath Secret Skills, it would likely have to cross the Major Heavenly Tribulation right away...’Fang Xi nodded, "I have arrived just in time..."He wasn’t particularly prepared for Little Mysterious Turtle’s advancement.After all, supporting another Transcendent God at perfect completion in breaking through was a taxing task for a Returning to Emptiness cultivator.Fang Xi believed that with Little Mysterious Turtle’s bloodline, it wouldn’t fail before the threshold of Returning to Emptiness!At most, he would protect Little Mysterious Turtle during the breakthrough and lend treasures like the ’Brahma Sound Chant Bell’ and the ’Mixed Origin Heavenly Umbrella’...
