Chapter 822: Chapter 725: Mid-Stage of Returning to Emptiness_2
In the northern Spirit Realm, a gigantic horned Wood Dragon joyously emerged from the ground and let out a roar.
It sensed the expansion of heaven and earth once more!
And the speed was extremely fast!
The horned Wood Dragon was neither a dragon nor wood, its growth closely linked to its environment.
The advancement of the Earth Immortal Spirit Realm meant that its power, too, could leap forward.
In the future, advancing to the sixth rank was not just a dream!
As for Taisui and Daqing? One was too lazy, the other’s cultivation too low... there was hardly any reaction.
Above the sky, the massive Mechanism City of the Nine States seemed to appear and disappear intermittently.
Boom!
All of a sudden, the entire Earth Immortal Spirit Realm trembled and then began to expand!
The Ancestral Demon Tree expressed joyous emotions, growing robustly and extending countless branches...
The Mother Qi of All Woods gathered, turning into clusters of cyan clouds in mid-air.
The Yi Wood Divine Thunder and Taiyi Divine Thunder sounded one after another.
Then, drizzles of rain mixed with endless vitality began to softly fall, bringing boundless life to the newly frontiered land.
"I’ve broken through!"
Fang Xi suddenly opened his eyes as he sat cross-legged.
He felt the Eternal Green Body inside him full of vitality, stimulating the Kuyong Skills to start operating on their own, over and over again.
With each cycle, it drew mysterious spirit instinct from the Earth Immortal Spirit Realm, making the Immortal Origin Energy, which had been stuck at the initial peak of Returning to Emptiness and unable to progress further, grow once more.
Finally...
With the sound of spring thunder, the Kuyong Skills advanced from the initial stage of Returning to Emptiness to the mid-stage!
Everything was as natural as eating and drinking.
"Worthy of being an Earth Immortal Heritage..."
Fang Xi was well aware that within Moon Invitation Immortal City, there were many cultivators who were trapped at the initial stage of Returning to Emptiness and couldn’t advance.
But his breakthrough was neither dangerous nor did it require the assistance of pills or secret skills.
This was the superiority of the Earth Immortal Heritage!
As the Earth Immortal Spirit Realm and Heaven and Earth Spirit Root upgraded, the cultivators’ cultivation would grow synchronously.
"It’s just a trivial matter for now... When the time comes to break through the big bottleneck of Integration, that will be the real boost!"
Fang Xi’s eyes shone brightly.
While the pills aiding the breakthrough of the Returning to Emptiness bottleneck were extremely rare and hard to come by, a determined cultivator willing to pay a hefty price could possibly obtain them.
But the Spiritual Pills and Secret Skills that could help break through the Integration Realm, even within the Star Sect, were likely nonexistent!
The advancement of many Integration cultivators relied on luck and their unique traits, most of which could not be replicated.
Once one achieved the Integration Realm, they could even qualify to compete for the position among the Five Sons of the Human Race, representing the true elite of humanity!
’My promotion to Integration will simply require accumulating enough within the Earth Immortal Spirit Realm, without needing to prepare special breakthrough pills, which is a significant advantage.’
’Even after Integration, breaking through bottlenecks will be the same...’
’And finally... there’s the bottleneck of the Mahayana Period!’
Fang Xi took a deep breath, realizing that this Earth Immortal Heritage, as opposed to the Ghost Cultivator Heritage, was geared toward the later stages.
The later the stage, the more terrifying the effects!
After all, even among the Five Sons of Human Race, there weren’t many who were confident in breaking through the Mahayana Period.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Just then, above the sky, dark clouds gathered, and thunder danced wildly.
The Minor Heavenly Tribulation of Returning to Emptiness had arrived!
Though called a ’Minor Heavenly Tribulation,’ the power of its lightning was still terrifying.
Even cultivators at the initial stage of Returning to Emptiness could be gravely injured or even turned to ashes if not careful!
"Go!"
Fang Xi flicked his finger, casting the three Black Jade Flying Knives he had obtained from Old Demon Ji.
The spirit within this treasure of Returning to Emptiness, though stubborn and unyielding, had its spirit wiped by him, which drastically reduced its power, barely maintaining the standard of a sixth-rank Returning to Emptiness treasure.
Now, it served only as expendable in the midst of thunder tribulation.
Hisss!
The flying knife was, after all, a sixth-rank Returning to Emptiness treasure, and once Fang Xi imbued it with Magic Power, its light flared dramatically, its surface adorned with numerous pitch-black feather patterns, flying haphazardly and zigzagging like lightning, leaving behind slashes in the Void.
Crackle!
A golden thunderbolt struck down, firmly blocked by one of the knives.
Then came the second and the third bolts!
Bang!
The fourth Heavenly Tribulation transformed into a spherical lightning strike, with countless golden runes moving inside and chains of lightning emerging on the outside, forming a golden net that loomed over everything.
Fang Xi pointed with his hand, and the three knives immediately joined together, turning into a three-headed monster bird.
The giant bird let out a defiant scream, fearlessly rushing forward.
Boom!
A loud noise echoed in mid-air, and the three-headed monster bird paused in the Void.
Then, a gentle breeze blew by.
Beginning from the tips of its feathers, it turned into specks of dust and scattered away.
It had been turned to ashes as simply as that!
’Indeed, a worthless person uses worthless treasures!’
Fang Xi sarcastically thought to himself, extending his right hand.
A green-colored Heavenly Umbrella was erected by him, its surface rotating through five colors, turning into a Mixed Origin Qi.
Everywhere the Mixed Origin Qi passed, countless thunders were directly annihilated...
That’s why Treasures of Thunder Transformation were so sought after, for their innate property of suppressing thunder.
However, even the ’Mixed Origin Heavenly Umbrella’ had its limits.
By the time the sixth lightning bolt had finished, Fang Xi brought his hands together, and an ancient seal script of dark green color appeared in his palm.
"Spirit Realm... open!"
The Earth Immortal Spirit Realm could counter the Power of Rules of the interface.
And Heavenly Tribulations were, in fact, manifestations of the Interface Power!
As a secret skill within the Earth Immortal Heritage, it also possessed the property to weaken Heavenly Tribulations, making it a supreme secret method for transcending tribulations!
Humming!
The phantom of an Earth Immortal Spirit Domain emerged behind Fang Xi, expanding in all directions.
