Chapter 218: God Soul Way, the Cultivation System of the Heavenly Radiance Realm

Seeing that Gu Yuxi had no intention of staying, Fang Xu asked doubtfully, "Senior, where are you preparing to go?"

Gu Yuxi glanced at the fragmented Heavenly Radiance Realm before him and spoke softly, "Go look for other fragments of the Heavenly Radiance Realm."

As a person of the Heavenly Radiance Realm, his homeland had been shattered; now only a fragment remains here, and he wants to go find the remaining parts.

"Senior, where are you preparing to go look for?" Fang Xu asked.

After the Heavenly Radiance Realm was shattered, its fragments drifted in the void; over these years, no one knows where they have drifted to.

Gu Yuxi's strength is strong, but Fang Xu feels he hasn't yet reached the strength of the Extended God Past Body.

Moreover, he hasn't reached the height of that void powerhouse who has helped him multiple times.

With his current strength, wanting to go look for the Heavenly Radiance Realm's fragments is undoubtedly a daydream.

As a former god, he perhaps has the ability to traverse the void, but absolutely lacks the strength to resist those dangers within the void.

Facing Fang Xu's question, Gu Yuxi was stunned.

For a moment, he actually didn't know how to answer.

Retrieving the fragments of the Heavenly Radiance Realm is merely an obsession.

And this obsession is also the imprint left inside the body by the former Gu Yuxi, who was an envoy.

He now is merely the consciousness that has been reborn in this body.

In short, he is no longer the original Gu Yuxi.

"Senior, if you believe me, when I have strength, I will certainly help you retrieve the fragments of the Heavenly Radiance Realm."

Looking at Gu Yuxi, Fang Xu spoke.

His current strength is only at the late stage of the Original Martial Realm, lacking the ability to traverse the void.

But he is confident that his future self will definitely be able to.

Gu Yuxi also has no doubt about this.

He can sense Fang Xu's potential.

Once Fang Xu's strength breaks through, in the future he will definitely surpass me.

"Then what do I need to do now?"

Gu Yuxi asked.

Seeing this, Fang Xu quickly said, "Senior, as a former envoy of the Heavenly Radiance Realm, you should have mastered much of the Heavenly Radiance Realm's unique cultivation system, right?"

"You want me to teach them?"

Gu Yuxi understood Fang Xu's meaning, and he glanced around at the many disciples of the Dark God Temple.

The Dao should not be lightly transmitted.

But the Heavenly Radiance Realm no longer exists now.

If I could pass on all my lifelong learning to these people, it would be equivalent to leaving some inheritance for the Heavenly Radiance Realm.

Perhaps someday, if the other fragments of the Heavenly Radiance Realm are found.

These people might become the new inhabitants of the Heavenly Radiance Realm.

"Then so be it."

Gu Yuxi compromised.

Fang Xu and the others, seeing this, were very happy.

A jade from another mountain can be used to attack stone.

The Dark God Temple actually does not lack cultivation methods.

After all, they were once the overlords of the Proper Heavenly Mystery Realm.

But now is a critical time.

With ordinary, step-by-step cultivation, the temple disciples don't know how long they'll have to wait—until the year of the monkey and horse—before they can have strength to rival the Great Expansion Dao Sect.

And the Heavenly Radiance Realm, as a great world, surely also possesses a complete cultivation system.

Gu Yuxi, as a former god, having him guide the temple disciples in cultivation, could not be better.

After deciding to stay, Gu Yuxi began helping Fang Xu teach these Dark God Temple disciples.

Wanting to cultivate the Heavenly Radiance Realm's techniques, there are certain requirements for aptitude.

During this period, Gu Yuxi has been busy searching for disciples with aptitude, then teaching them cultivation.

The Heavenly Radiance Realm's cultivation method is a system similar to the Way of the Soul.

They mainly cultivate the god-soul; when the god-soul becomes strong enough, they can even directly discard their original flesh and condense a new divine body using the power of heaven and earth.

The reason Gu Yuxi from that time could still preserve an intact body after being slain was that, at the critical moment, he used his god-soul to fight against the ancient powerhouses and gods of the Heavenly Mystery Realm.

In the end, the god-soul was shattered, and the flesh was thus completely preserved.

Cultivating the God Soul Way requires utilizing a large amount of auxiliary resources.

This is also the reason why the Heavenly Radiance Realm of that time collapsed.

The cultivation of the God Soul Way consumes resources too severely.

After the various forces of the Heavenly Radiance Realm grew stronger, their plundering of resources became even more terrifying.

But the resources of the entire world are limited.

In order to seize resources and strengthen themselves, the various forces of the Heavenly Radiance Realm eventually fell into a struggle of plundering and slaughter.

But ultimately, because the various forces were too strong, and furthermore, cultivating the God Soul Way to the extreme grants a method to summon powerful beings from higher realms.

The fragile Heavenly Radiance Realm was ultimately shattered directly.

"Fang Xu, the resources here are not suitable for cultivating the God Soul Way, but they do have plenty suitable for you Tianxuan Realm martial artists to cultivate."

"You can take these resources and try to exchange them from the Tianxuan Realm for some things needed for the God Soul Way."

Because the cultivation systems differ, the God Soul Way needs the "One"; the "One" of the entire Heavenly Radiance Realm has almost been completely consumed.

But there are still many of the two three four five six.

In contrast, in the Heavenly Mystic Realm, martial cultivators may need the two three four five six, and they do not need the one, or need very little.

Thus, exchanging the two three four five six of the Heavenly Bright Realm for the one of the Heavenly Mystic Realm is definitely a good plan.

Fang Xu heard his suggestion and immediately summoned Granny Zuojiang of the Red Rock Merchant Association.

After listing everything needed by Guye Xi one by one, Zuojiang took a look and happily discovered that many of those things are despised and unwanted in the Heavenly Mystic Realm.

For example, one of them is called blood soul wood.

It is a special tree that grows in places like gravesites and burial grounds.

Because it absorbs a large amount of resentful killing qi, only a few like Zhao Wuji who cultivate the slaughter dao, or those who cultivate killing qi, can use it; others can't even dodge in time.

After all, killing qi is not something good to come into contact with.

But Guye Xi bluntly said, blood soul wood is an essential resource for cultivating the Soul Spirit Dao.

"Divine Son, I'll take care of these."

Although the resources Guye Xi needs are not precious, they are mostly things no one usually asks for.

The Red Rock Merchant Association wants to obtain them, so it still needs to send people to search.

"There is one more thing."

Fang Xu looked at Zuojiang and said: "There should be plenty of good-quality resources in the Heavenly Bright Realm; granny can select some temple disciples to have them mine."

Although the Red Rock Merchant Association is strong, they cannot just live off their existing wealth.

We must find a way to make use of all the resources.

Zuojiang nodded.

She has already discovered some ores that are considered quite precious in the Heavenly Mystic Realm, and she plans to mention them to Fang Xu.

After arranging these matters, Fang Xu also summoned Zhongli Hui.

The desert above the Death Sand Sea was moved away by him using his supernatural powers.

The entire entrance to the Heavenly Bright Realm was exposed.

Now, to prevent being discovered, Zhongli Hui still needs to conceal the entrance and exit.

Zhongli Hui was thinking about how to conceal the entrance without affecting passage, when a zombie beside Guye Xi suddenly spoke.

"We can use a formation."

Fang Xu heard this and looked at Guye Xi.

Guye Xi shook his head, indicating he also couldn't recall the zombie's identity.

He only knows that the zombie seems to be a person from the Heavenly Bright Realm, always staying by his side.

After gaining consciousness from a corpse, he himself can't even recall his previous identity.

But one thing is certain: in life he must have been an expert highly accomplished in the way of formations.

The Soul Spirit Dao, because the soul and spirit are strong, has a natural advantage in cultivating formations.

Fang Xu, seeing this, could only have Zhongli Hui bring that zombie to the Death Sand Sea to try.

For a long time afterward, under Zhongli Hui's accompaniment, that zombie kept setting up various measures in the Death Sand Sea.

Two months passed.

That zombie also finished setting up the last formation eye, and then directly activated the formation.

Immediately, a terrifying energy swept across the entire Death Sand Sea!

The dust that Zhongli Hui had moved away with his great supernatural powers was now completely attracted by the formation!

As the formation operated, hundreds of meters thick dust directly covered the entire plaza!

Moreover, Zhongli Hui also saw that within this hundred-meter-thick desert there existed many strange living beings.

These beings have no physical form and can freely shuttle through the desert.

When encountering danger, they can immediately form a body from the surrounding yellow sand.

"May I ask, elder brother, what are these things…"

Zhongli Hui asked curiously.

"Formation spirit." The formation zombie hid nothing and spoke directly.

Those beings that can freely shuttle through the sand are a kind of guard he constructed using formations.

After doing all that, the zombie casually grabbed a handful of yellow sand, and with the activation of its yin qi, directly pinched the sand into a stone slab.

On the slab, a strange inscription slowly emerged, emitting a fluorescent glow of entrustment.

"This is the token for entering and exiting the formation."

Saying that, he personally demonstrated it.

Holding the token, he came before the formation.

The yellow sand on both sides slowly parted, revealing a wide road leading straight to the entrance of the Heavenly Bright Realm.

Truly amazing!

Zhongli Hui couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

A stiff smile appeared on the zombie's face.

"Your strength is very strong."

"But if you give me enough time to set up the formation, I have a fifty percent chance of killing you."

Zhongli Hui frowned slightly after hearing that.

The aura emanating from the formation zombie is only equivalent to the late stage of the Dharma Appearance Realm.

How could such a being possibly possess the strength to kill someone in the Unity with Divine Realm?

Seeing his disbelief, the formation zombie didn't say more.

Directly began setting up nearby.

After half an hour, he invited Zhongli Hui in.

Zhongli Hui carefully stepped into the formation, and the scene before him suddenly changed.

The endless desert disappeared, and a huge palace appeared before him.

Inside the palace were many rooms, indescribable beauties, various mountain and sea delicacies, and strange treasures.

Even though Zhongli Hui had been mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the scene before him.

He knew these were all fake.

Moreover, he had no interest in worldly power, beauty, wealth, etc.

He who originally intended to break this formation by force looked at the room ahead emitting a faint red light, and ultimately decided to take a look.

As he approached, the surrounding rooms also underwent subtle changes.

The gold and silver treasures gradually disappeared.

The beauties also gradually dissipated.

In their place were many cultivation resources, techniques, and divine weapons.

Many of these were things Zhongli Hui had long craved.

"This formation can even sense one's thoughts and make changes anytime, anywhere!?"

Zhongli Hui exclaimed in surprise.

As he moved forward, gradually, the formation became more and more perfected.

Even at the end, when he wanted to destroy the formation with violence, he found that everything around had become extremely solid.

Helpless Zhongli Hui could only seek another exit.

But the surroundings were one room after another, a corridor connected to another corridor, endless.

He wanted to fly up to the sky.

But upon reaching mid-air, he discovered that the entire world visible was this layout of corridors connecting rooms.

He actually couldn't find a breakthrough.

Zhongli Hui's competitive spirit was aroused, and the earth's laws were swiftly mobilized!

The next moment!

The whole world began to undergo a heaven‑earth‑shaking change.

Finally, when he opened his eyes again, the sky was filled with drifting yellow sand.

After the yellow sand slowly settled, Zhongli Hui looked solemnly at the formation zombie.

"How do you feel?"

The formation zombie asked.

Zhongli Hui nodded: "Very strong."

"But with this formation you still can't kill me."

The formation zombie laughed.

"The formation I hastily set up earlier merely combined a trapping formation, an illusion formation, and a duplication formation."

"With my strength, I can let five kinds of formations combine."

"If I add two killing formations to the formation just now, can Elder Zhongli still break out of the formation safely?"

Hearing this, Zhongli Hui was stunned.

He had already experienced the might of that formation.

If killing formations were added to the formation, perhaps he would not fare well.

A cultivator at the Dharma Appearance realm actually managed to do this, truly unimaginable.

"Unfortunately, formation masters are not good at combat."

"When encountering an enemy, the opponent won't wait for us to set up the formation before foolishly charging in."

The formation zombie spoke.

Zhongli Hui nodded in agreement upon hearing.

This is certain.

Knowing you are a formation master, they still give you time to lay the formation, wait until you finish setting it up before rushing in.

Might as well just take a knife and commit suicide.

"Let's go, let's go back."

Having witnessed the formation master's prowess, Zhongli Hui decided to go back and report this to Fang Xu.

He felt that if this formation zombie were used well, it could serve as a Divine Connection Realm powerhouse.

Within the Tianhuang Realm.

Many disciples of the Dark God Temple are busy, building dwellings.

In a temporarily cleared mountain cave.

Zhongli Hui told Fang Xu about the formation master's matter.

After hearing his words, Fang Xu pondered a moment and also felt that the formation zombie should be well utilized.

However, before that, he still needs to plan a way to combine the formation master and the temple disciples.

……

Tianxuan Realm, Central Continent.

The Red Rock Merchant Association's branches across the Central Continent began collecting the items listed by Bone Prison Breath right away.

Some cultivators who didn't understand the truth, seeing this, began to collect those things they usually wouldn't even glance at, in order to exchange for spirit crystal marrow, pills, etc., from the Red Rock Merchant Association for cultivation resources.

Some clever cultivators noticed that the Red Rock Merchant Association had suddenly started collecting these normally useless items in large quantities, guessing that the association must have discovered a way to use them.

They predicted that once the Red Rock Merchant Association made this method public, these items would surely rise in price.

Thus, they also began to hoard these items frantically.

Preparing to make a big profit later.

In response, the people of the Red Rock Merchant Association also grew somewhat worried.

Zuo Jiang merely instructed them to collect these items secretly.

But they thought nobody wanted these items, so they simply spent money to purchase them.

Unexpectedly, this caused such a change.

If these resources were all hoarded by people, the Red Rock Merchant Association would surely have trouble finding them later.

We need to think of a way to solve this.

Some stewards of the merchant association's branch began to report this situation upward.

In the end, Zuo Jiang also learned of this news.

Besides feeling angry, she also realized she must quickly think of a way to resolve this trouble, otherwise she would have no way to explain it to Fang Xu. (End of chapter)
