Chapter 818: Chapter 722: Five Hundred Years In A Hurry_4
"This Sir..."
The slender girl singing saw Fang Xi’s leaf boat moving without wind and the person in the blue robe whose cultivation was indistinct, unclear. She couldn’t help but reveal a smile, "Are you also heading to Jade Island to join the grand event?"
"Jade Island grand event?"
Fang Xi looked bewildered.
After all, a group of Core Formation and Nascent Soul cultivators playing house was something he seldom cared to pay attention to.
"Yes... Wang Tianjun of Jade Island has finally broken through the late-stage Nascent Soul bottleneck and become a great cultivator!"
The girl said reverently, "This move has firmly established the name of Ten Thousand Island Lake’s Southern Wilderness Holy Land... It is said that this Wang Tianjun was born on Peach Blossom Island and his ancestors even had some connection with the ’Dragon Fish Island’s Lord Master’, who ruled an era!"
Her face full of reverence, she began talking about the many feats and strange tales associated with Wang Tianjun’s rise to prominence.
For instance, possessing a Heaven Grade Spiritual Root and shocking talent, he broke through Foundation Establishment and Core Formation very quickly, even managing to form his Nascent Soul successfully by the age of one hundred and sixty!
After that, he even slew rebellious Evil Cultivators, making a name for himself across Yue, Wu, and Mu nations!
Now, he has advanced to the late-stage Nascent Soul and become the Island Master of Jade Island, with hopes of becoming a Transcendent God in the future!
It is said that to celebrate his advancement to late-stage Nascent Soul, a three-month-long feast will be held on Jade Island, along with many auctions and trade fairs—truly a rare grand event in the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm.
The girl, though only at the Qi Refining stage, was also taking her younger relatives to the island to meet with their clan elders and broaden their horizons.
Of course, if any of these youngsters could catch the eye of a high-level cultivator and be taken in as a disciple, that would be even better.
Thanks to the reputation of the great cultivator Wang Tianjun, recently, no cultivation-robber dared to rob those heading to Jade Island to offer congratulations; hence, the journey was quite safe, a rare opportunity indeed.
"I see..."
Upon realizing it was the descendant of Wang Xiaohu, Fang Xi could hardly hold back his laughter.
Back in the day, he had given quite a bit of support to the Ruan and Zhong families, and afterwards, the Hai family also took advantage of their ancestor Hai Danaiu’s brazen actions to gain an early foothold on Jade Island.
Unexpectedly, centuries later, it was the Wang family, which had hardly any presence before, that had actually made a name for itself!
’Supporting them too much resulted in dependence, losing that bit of a cultivator’s spirit to compete with heaven...’ Fang Xi quickly attributed the reason.
However, that was a matter of personal choice after all. The current Ruan and Hai families, among others, were still formidable and even held certain interests on Jade Island, having also gained the recognition of Wang Tianjun...
They had no choice but to recognize him, as Wang Tianjun had once visited Master Shui of the Eastern Sea; naturally, he knew that the stability of the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm to this day relied on the legacy left by the Dragon Fish Island’s Lord Master.
Since it was built on the legacy of the Dragon Fish Island’s Lord Master, it was only natural to take good care of the descendants of his old friends...
As a great cultivator, if he lacked such discernment, he would not have reached the formation of his Nascent Soul.
"Uncle, would you like some lotus seeds?"
Behind the girl, a young girl, holding a bunch of fresh lotus pods, asked with a smile.
"Sure!"
Fang Xi raised his hand, and with a flick of magic power, retrieved a lotus pod. He casually cracked it open, dug out the sweet and tender lotus seeds, and tossed them into his mouth, feeling the refreshing fragrance along with a slight bitterness...
"This Sir, no, Senior, could it be that you are a Foundation Establishment grand cultivator?"
The Qi Refining girl rowing the boat was startled upon seeing Fang Xi’s effortless use of magic power.
"Foundation Establishment... grand cultivator? That really is a rather distant term indeed."
Fang Xi smiled, and with a flash of blue light in his hand, he took out two fruits from the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm and threw them onto the spirit boat, "You offered me lotus seeds, so I’ll offer you two fruits in return..."
His leaf boat flickered, and he vanished from sight.
...
Several days later.
North Plains, Ascension Platform.
Along with the roaring of the array, a huge Spatial Rift appeared.
Shui Lingxin took one last look back at the Mortal World, then without a moment’s hesitation, turned into a streak of light and entered the Ascension Passage.
...
Earth Immortal Realm, Sky Brahman Camp.
Welcoming Immortal Platform.
This place was originally divided into dozens or even hundreds of small Welcoming Immortal Platforms, each corresponding to different Lower Realms. After many reforms, it was combined into one place.
Fang Xi suspected that it was Jin Gangzi deliberately making things difficult for Changqingzi...
A flash of silver light streaked by.
The numerous cultivators of Sky Brahman Camp stood solemnly, knowing that another Ascending Immortal had arrived.
"Welcome, Sir, to the Earth Immortal Realm. I am Hua Yan of Sky Brahman Camp..."
As Hua Yan was smilingly introducing the rules of the Earth Immortal Realm to Shui Lingxin, a streak of light suddenly flew into the camp and landed with a boom.
The terrifying Returning to Emptiness level of magic power caused the surrounding cultivators to change their expressions.
"It turns out to be Senior Fang, welcome back to the place of old."
Hua Yan’s expression changed, and he then bowed respectfully.
Even if the other party had left Sky Brahman Camp, as a Returning to Emptiness Great Power who had relationships with many leaders within the camp, it was very easy for him to crush Hua Yan, so respect was due.
"You are... the... Senior Fang?"
Shui Lingxin looked at Fang Xi, dumbfounded.
"Indeed... I’m here to take you home." A smile appeared on Fang Xi’s face.
