Chapter 234: Diviner (Bonus chapter, seeking subscriptions)

"God Infant Fruit... it is said that even eating it raw has a slight auxiliary effect for condensing a Nascent Soul; it is extremely rare in the Great Wilderness..."

"The only place with a confirmed production site is the Linlang Blessed Land!"

Fang Xing thought of something, and his eyes lit up.

He silently put the matter of "refining Nascent Soul Pills" on his agenda and continued to count the spoils of war.

The main items were Huo Moqing's magic treasures.

"These two pieces of the 'Mysterious Ice Shield' are a bit of a pity, but having been cut in two, they can only be sold as materials..."

"Ten Thousand Souls Banner? It's full of demonic energy and doesn't fit my sword cultivator style... Eh? This is indeed a treasure of the formation path; it can be used in conjunction with formations as a main formation flag to enhance the formation's power..."

Fang Xing finally picked up the "Nine Infants Pearl."

At this moment, the Nine Infants phantom inside this spirit pearl had become much blurrier, and the seven lit-up heads looked listless.

"This item... seems to be the life-bound magic treasure of that late-stage Jin Dan cultivator."

"For a life-bound magic treasure, before the original owner dies, outsiders absolutely cannot refine it... After the original owner dies, it will lose several tenths of its power and will never be able to return to its peak."

This "Nine Infants Pearl" had first been struck by his Nascent Soul-level sword qi and then suffered the change of its original owner's death.

It was understandable that its foundation was greatly damaged and its spiritual light had become dim.

Fang Xing felt no sadness about this; he opened his mouth slightly, and an infant fire mixed with specks of scarlet in the azure light emerged, beginning to refine this "Nine Infants Pearl."

Under the scorching of the infant fire, even a top-grade magic treasure had its light flickering uncertainly for a moment, showing signs of being refined.

Moreover, as the Nascent Soul fire broke through one restriction after another, general information about this magic treasure automatically emerged in Fang Xing's mind.

"Nine Infants Pearl, integrating offense and defense, can manifest the 'Nine Infants Phantom,' protect the mind, and has infinite wonderful uses."

"Furthermore, it has nine heads, and within each one, it can imprison the soul and essence blood of a cultivator, thereby completely simulating that cultivator's magic power and divine sense fluctuations; it can even fool most bloodline tests..."

"It's a pity this is a life-bound magic treasure; after the original owner died, the Nine Infants Pearl permanently lost a portion of its power, and now only eight heads can store souls and essence blood..."

"The good news is that these stored souls and essence blood can be replaced or changed..."

"For me, its attack power is not worth mentioning, but the disguise it provides is quite useful."

Fang Xing knew his own situation; he was passable in terms of disguise, but it was very difficult to conceal his aura.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been seen through last time he went to participate in the Immortal City trade, which led to many sins of devastation.

Strictly speaking, the calamity of Three Pythons Mountain all started because someone's disguise level was not good enough.

However, sword cultivators were originally like this, specializing in one path, pure and focused only on the sword.

"Now, with the help of this 'Nine Infants Pearl,' no one below the Nascent Soul stage should be able to see through my disguise and aura concealment techniques."

Fang Xing felt the seven lit-up Nine Infants heads, and suddenly his expression shifted; his divine sense touched one of them.

In an instant, a garment of soul emerged from the Nine Infants Pearl and draped over him, covering his original magic power and soul fluctuations.

Subsequently, Fang Xing discovered that he had become an acquaintance.

"That Profound Heaven Sect elder... he really is dead. After being killed, even his soul and essence blood fell into the enemy's hands, only to be disguised as a righteous Jin Dan True Person to kill me?"

Fang Xing deeply felt the perverse humor of demonic cultivators: "If my cultivation were a bit lower, I might have really been 'exterminated for the sake of righteousness,' and the Profound Heaven Sect wouldn't have fared well either; at the very least, their reputation would definitely have been ruined..."

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, he touched his dantian.

Within his divine sense, inside that white-gold Jin Dan, the Rotten Iron Sword suddenly let out a sharp sword cry.

"This is... Sword Heart warning?!"

"An enemy that can make even me feel some danger now—could it be a Nascent Soul Great Zhenjun personally tracking me? How is this possible? No, it's actually not impossible."

Fang Xing's expression shifted.

The Profound Heaven Sect's Nascent Soul Great Zhenjun might not have cared much in the past, but after a late-stage Jin Dan True Dan cultivator in the sect fell, they might very well take action.

"Because the murderer can easily kill a late-stage Jin Dan cultivator of True Dan quality, their cultivation is definitely not trivial... If the Profound Heaven Sect wants to investigate, they must either send several late-stage Jin Dan cultivators or let that Nascent Soul seed 'Zhengqizi' come personally... either way, there's a possibility of falling into an ambush."

"The most steady and reliable method is for a Nascent Soul Great Zhenjun to take action personally, sweeping away all demons and monsters with absolute strength..."

He analyzed it silently and found that the probability of a Profound Heaven Sect Nascent Soul Great Zhenjun taking action this time actually exceeded fifty percent.

"This is what you call 'Mount Tai crushing an egg'; no matter what kind of enemy they face, they are upright and straightforward..."

Fang Xing sighed and prepared to avoid it.

He was a False Nascent Soul, not a true Nascent Soul after all.

Although he believed he could fight an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator by relying on many divine abilities and spirit treasures, there was no need to risk testing it.

What he liked most was still bullying the weak.

"Let's bury a gift first, and then see the situation..."

Fang Xing flicked his finger, and streaks of sword shadows emerged, sinking into the cave wall and disappearing without a trace in an instant.

Subsequently, he flicked his large sleeve, put away all the items in the cave dwelling, turned into a sword light, and vanished into the horizon in a flash.

More than half a shichen later.

A green light appeared, from which walked a seemingly ordinary green-clothed female cultivator.

She looked at most twenty or thirty years old, but there was a detachment in her eyes that had seen through the ways of the world.

At this moment, walking into the cave, her jade-like hands pinched a seal, clearly preparing to use some secret technique to trace the remaining aura.

Swish swish!

Just at this moment, streaks of sword shadows flashed in the cave, as if condensing into a sword formation!

The sword light filling the sky soared into the sky, cutting the entire mountain peak in two.

A cold and sharp sword domain emerged, with countless sword lights floating and sinking inside; each sword light transformed into a scale, finally combining into a silver flood dragon!

The silver flood dragon roared and suddenly descended toward the green-clothed woman.

Boom!

The mountains shook, making the mortals living in the nearby villages almost think it was an earthquake.

A breeze blew by, and the mountain peak, which was already unable to bear the weight, turned into dust and vanished with the wind in an instant.

Only that green-clothed Great Zhenjun remained, holding a lotus flower in her hand, appearing unscathed under the impact of the silver sword dragon.

"Truly a Nascent Soul Great Zhenjun... and a Nascent Soul Sword Monarch... besides that old ghost Chu of the Heaven Sword Sect, there is actually another Nascent Soul-level sword cultivator inheritance?"

The green-clothed girl's eyes shifted, and she suddenly gritted her teeth, taking out three copper coins from her sleeve.

Subsequently, she took out a bamboo tube, put the three copper coins inside, and tossed it into the sky.

This was a diviner's method—asking the heavens for a divination!

Diviners, like feng shui masters, belong to the most obscure of the hundred arts of cultivation.

After all, things like fate and luck... are difficult to fathom; to force them rashly would instead lead to a backlash against oneself.

Therefore, in the cultivation world, high-level diviners are extremely rare.

Yet, she did not expect that this green-clothed Great Zhenjun was one of them.

An instant later, she caught the bamboo tube and poured out the three copper coins onto her palm.

"Actually unable to calculate?"

A green light flashed and vanished in the girl's eyes, followed by disbelief.

Before, she could vaguely calculate the whereabouts of that key person; although it was very blurry, it meant the other party's cultivation was powerful enough to suppress her own fate, or they had some treasure to conceal the heavenly secrets.

But now, it was all chaos, and she couldn't calculate it at all.

To rush in rashly even caused her to suffer a slight backlash!

"Forget it..."

The green-clothed Great Zhenjun stood silently for a long time, finally sighed, and headed toward the Profound Heaven Sect's mountain gate...

Blue Star.

Blue Sea District No. 69.

Fang Xing looked at his cultivation clone and nodded: "You stay here to avoid the limelight for now... Hehe, I now have a Rank 8 combat power sitting in my villa; even if a Martial Saint comes, I can take them down... Uh, maybe I can't take them down, but at least it will cause a huge commotion..."

Rank 8 combat power!

Even in the Blue Star Federation, this was definitely the high echelon.

With such a great combat power sitting in his home, at least there were no problems in terms of safety.

After handling the affairs of the cultivation clone, Fang Xing came to the front door and saw several packages.

Looking at the sender, it was either Blue Star University or the Federation Holographic Universe Company, so he immediately knew what they were.

He took the packages, went to the living room, and opened them one by one.

Clatter!

A small pile of evil energy crystals mixed with Heavenly Gang Stones lay scattered on the coffee table.

"Good things are good things, but they are useless to me now..."

"Uh, at least I have many explanations for my cultivation breakthrough now."

"Although I have already forfeited the Interstellar Martial Arts Competition, the competition is not over yet. When the competition truly ends and the final rankings come out, there should be another wave of rewards..."

"Calculating this way, is it enough for me to cultivate to the peak of Martial Dao Jin Dan?"

"After grinding a little more, before the graduate school term expires, I will ascend to the Jin Gang Realm and continue to study for a doctorate!"

"There is also the simplified version of the Tathagata Palm; I already have a clue for the third form, but my realm is still a bit insufficient. After Jin Gang, it will be enough..."

Fang Xing silently thought about his cultivation plan.

This kind of thing is not immutable and can be adjusted at any time, emphasizing flexibility.

"Xiao Lan!"

Fang Xing spoke, and a holographic projection immediately appeared; it was an elf with azure wings: "Master, what are your orders?"

"Bring up the videos of the recent martial arts competition..."

Fang Xing prepared to watch them roughly first, mark the battles he wanted to see, and then he could go to the holographic universe to watch the battles in depth.

This point is very remarkable!

If martial arts want to progress, this kind of "immersion" is indispensable.

This is also why Fang Xing judged that Blue Star martial arts would usher in a wave of great development after the emergence of virtual universe technology.

"Okay."

Xiao Lan smiled faintly, raised her hand, and a screen immediately appeared.

On the screen, it was subdivided into more than 5,000 grids, each with a battle segment.

If it were an ordinary person, seeing such a video would definitely make them dizzy.

Fang Xing was just right; he scanned it roughly and wrote down several battle numbers: "These martial arts Jin Dan practitioners are definitely graduates of Blue Star University, and their battles are worth watching... and the mecha pilot with the code name 'White Falcon'..."

"Okay, Master, the in-depth viewing mode requires a copyright fee, a total of 360,987 Star Dollars, which has been deducted, and the virtual video purchase is successful."

Xiao Lan responded with a smile.

"Damn..."

Fang Xing cursed with some depression: "The Federation Holographic Universe Company really knows how to make money..."

However, they have high technology, so they deserve to make money.

Moreover, before participating in the competition, the signed virtual agreement defaults to the competition contestants selling the video copyright.

Finally, the Federation Holographic Universe Company didn't take it for nothing; those rewards of evil energy crystals and Heavenly Gang Stones could be considered as "remuneration" paid in advance to excellent contestants.

Fang Xing could only curse a couple of times and then pay the bill happily.

"I don't have many Star Dollars... but I have many channels."

He suddenly thought of the Master of the Gate Sect.

This person has many arrangements, such as some anonymous accounts, which have deposited astronomical amounts of Star Dollar assets.

Moreover, on the surface, it has nothing to do with the Extraterrestrial Xieshen Sect.

But does Fang Xing dare to take it?

Things in the world, as long as they have been walked, will inevitably leave traces.

Not to mention that it is a behemoth like the Blue Star Federation; as long as they are determined to investigate, they will definitely be able to find something.

By then, it would be counterproductive.

It is precisely for this reason that Fang Xing has mastered clues to many core believers of the Gate Sect, but has not tried to contact them or send them to the Public Security Bureau or anything.

"In interstellar society, not having a fake identity is too troublesome..."

Fang Xing sighed in his heart and suddenly thought of the cultivation clone!

This cultivation clone is completely different from himself in terms of appearance, temperament, and strength...

Even in the Blue Star Federation, he is a black household, so he can completely serve as his own white glove for the time being.

First, go through the channels in the memory of the Master of the Gate Sect to obtain a legal identity, and then mobilize those funds.

Subsequently, contact the believers of the Gate Sect and wipe them out in one fell swoop!

Incidentally, he can also collect some items related to the Gate Sect.

Fang Xing has now temporarily left the Extraterrestrial Xieshen world, and the Gate of Heavens has entered a charging state again.

If he cannot obtain supplements from other sources, he doesn't know how long it will take to open the next new world.

"This idea is good; even if something goes wrong, it won't implicate me..."

"Moreover, the cultivation clone's strength is sufficient."

The more he thought about it, the brighter his eyes became, and he was even impatient to go out and do things.

Fang Xing's gaze wandered, browsing casually among the more than 5,000 grids, wanting to use the strengths of a hundred schools to complete his own martial arts!

This is the process of continuous accumulation.

"Eh?"

Suddenly, his eyes shifted: "Xiao Lan, video No. 3961, zoom in for me!"

A grid suddenly expanded, occupying most of the screen.

On the screen, it was a battle that took place on a glacier.

One of them was only at the "mere" peak of the External Landscape, chose to be anonymous, wore a mask, and used a set of "Magnetic Field Martial Arts"!

Between every move, it actually invoked the blessing of the heaven and earth magnetic field, making its domain power able to contend with the Jin Dan Dharma Domain.

"Kill!"

The masked person drove the magnetic field, used the geographical advantage, invoked a magnetic storm, transformed into a "Two Instruments Extinction Magnetic Light Blade," and swept across the neck of the Jin Dan martial artist opposite.

"External Landscape wanting to reverse-slay a Martial Dao Jin Dan? This is going against the heavens..."

Fang Xing's eyes shifted: "The key is... why does this person give me a sense of familiarity?!"

In the video, the martial artist swept by the magnetic light blade had blood spurting from his neck, but in an instant, a layer of golden light emerged, quickly stopping the bleeding and recovering from the injury.

This golden light, Fang Xing was also very familiar with; it was the "Dragon-Elephant Jin Gang Indestructible Wei Shentong," but it was only at the small success level, not comparable to his own Great Perfection.

"You are not bad, but unfortunately you met me!"

The Jin Dan martial artist roared, his whole body glowing with golden light, like a small golden man, Jin Dan Yuan power gathered, and he punched out.

The masked martial artist's magnetic field was broken, and his body fell onto the glacier like a rag doll.

He lost!

Between the External Landscape and the Martial Dao Jin Dan, it was originally like a chasm.

Being able to injure a Jin Dan with the body of an External Landscape, he was already proud enough!
