Chapter 839: Chapter 734 Five Demons Descend to the Higher Realm
Fang Xi discussed various worldly matters with Chi Songzi for a while.
However, no matter how indirectly the two probed, he remained adamant about not taking on missions, even if it meant losing his status as a guest of Moon Invitation Immortal City— a sacrifice he was willing to make.
In Fang Xi’s view, being a guest of Moon Invitation Immortal City was never essential.
Seeing this, Chi Songzi and Fairy Chen could only leave, helpless.
Their Moon Invitation Immortal City had received the message quite early, hence, they had prepared several backup plans.
The Wang Family Ancestor was merely a non-essential link in their scheme.
But seeing the Wang Family Ancestor’s resolute attitude, they couldn’t help but wonder if he had some insider information.
Regardless of where the information came from, it implied that the Wang Family Ancestor was not a simple character, and they dared not press him too hard.
Watching the two Escape Lights fade into the distance, a cold flash crossed Fang Xi’s eyes.
The scheming of Moon Invitation Immortal City was within his expectations and posed no concern.
What truly stirred his killing intent were the potential schemes of Changqingzi.
"A sixth-level longevity Spiritual Pet?"
"Who knows how much they’ve accumulated during these hundreds of years of calm..."
"If they are all sent to the Lower Realm, it might indeed be somewhat troublesome, but that’s all it would be—just troublesome..."
Even for an Integration Peak Cultivator, sending a Returning to Emptiness being to the Lower Realm would take a considerable effort.
What if there were several?
It would practically bankrupt them!
"Just as well, with the great battle imminent, as one of the Five Sons of Human Race, Changqingzi won’t be able to focus on the Lower Realm forever, and considering the scheme has been in the works for hundreds of years... As long as I can withstand this once, I could enjoy peace for hundreds or even thousands of years..."
"If it really comes down to it, I can just hide in some other world. Changqingzi would be helpless to find me."
A slight smile appeared on Fang Xi’s face.
Recently, Changqingzi had no way to ascertain Fang Xi’s exact whereabouts.
There were two major targets for the Lower Realm, one naturally being the Mortal Realm, and the other, the Minghuan World!
As for returning to the world where he practiced his great Divine Skills, Fang Xi had no intention of doing so.
"Actually, it doesn’t necessarily have to come to battle..."
"Hiding away in some minor world that Changqingzi can’t reach, with the numerous Lower Realm worlds as plentiful as grains of Everlasting Sand, Changqingzi would probably cough up blood from frustration..."
Of course, Fang Xi could ignore the Minghuan World, but if the Mortal Realm faced difficulties, he felt an obligation to intervene.
Sixth-level Monster beasts were lawless entities. If they were to devour a large number of Mortals and Cultivators in the Mortal Realm, ultimately making their way to the South Wilderness, Fang Xi felt he would be unable to restrain himself.
After all, the intelligence of sixth-level Monster beasts was no less than that of Human Cultivators; they might manage to unearth some information in the South Wilderness.
If that happened, while his true self might remain unharmed, his Heterodox Incarnation and Shui Lingxin would likely have to flee for their lives like Fang Immortal Taoist Master...
Therefore, if Monster beasts were to descend upon the Mortal Realm, it might be better to just kill them off swiftly.
Kill them until Changqingzi lost all hope!
Only then could he secure everlasting peace.
"Does Changqingzi think my lifespan is limited? Little does he know that even if I were to deplete my lifespan, I could replenish it through the Monster Tree..."
"At this rate, he will eventually go bankrupt."
"Even without utilizing Supreme Divine Skills, I am invincible in the Mortal Realm!"
Fang Xi quickly calculated his odds.
"Changqingzi should know that cultivating the Earth Immortal Heritage can significantly extend life; a Returning to Emptiness cultivator has a lifespan of ten thousand years... Wooden Element cultivators are adept at nurturing longevity, typically living for several thousand more years, and having cultivated the Supreme Northern Dipper Life-controlling Divine Skills, they can outnumber their peers by ten to one... While the lifespan of sixth-level turtle-type Spiritual Pets is mostly just tens of thousands of years, at most, they could only deplete a few thousand years of my lifespan. Hence, will he not send several to the Lower Realm?"
He was somewhat speechless at the irony that his own lifespan of over sixty thousand years was longer than that of Integration cultivators—something unbelievable if spoken out loud.
Moreover, his lifespan was recoverable, allowing him to potentially fight until Changqingzi went bankrupt at this descending rate!
...
Twin Banyan City.
The Banyan Twin Trees towered majestically, shading the skies.
In the deepest recesses of their Dongfu, exotic flowers and rare herbs abounded, with dense Immortal Qi swirling around, taking on various shapes of birds and beasts.
At the edge of a Spirit Spring, Changqingzi sat cross-legged.
His youthful appearance in a robe of green made him resemble a young boy.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, he opened his eyes and took out an ancient bronze mirror from his bosom.
On the back of the mirror were carved numerous primitive and profound characters.
At this moment, a light shone upon the mirror’s surface, making it seem quite extraordinary.
Without changing his expression, Changqingzi infused Magic Power into it.
The mirror’s surface flashed, and the image of a little monk with bright red lips and white teeth appeared.
"Changqingzi... With the Monster Clan’s army charging violently towards us right now, why are you still in Twin Banyan City instead of coming to Triple Realm Mountain?"
Jin Gangzi glared, questioning fiercely: "All these years, you’ve been gathering World-Transforming Crystals and sixth-level Spiritual Pets while neglecting your duties, do you really think no one can hold you accountable?"
"Why the rush, Sir Jin Gangzi? A year from now, I will personally go to Triple Realm Mountain and fulfill my responsibilities as one of the Five Sons of Human Race," Changqingzi calmly replied. "I do hope, however, that you live to see that day, considering it appears that a True Spirit of the Monster Clan has advanced this time around... isn’t it that Primeval Great Saint? Your history with the Heavenly Phoenix Clan is quite deep... I recall that talented Azure Luan on the verge of Integration, as well as a seventh-level Flood Dragon, both perished at your hands..."
"A year is too long... The Sky Brahman Army is on an expedition to clear new territories and cannot be fully assembled in a short period of time..."
Jin Gangzi maintained his composure as he spoke: "If we lose the defense at Triple Realm Mountain, do you think we won’t be held accountable by Mr. Che?"
A flash of anger crossed Changqingzi’s face: "Half a year... In no more than half a year, I shall appear at Triple Realm Mountain."
