Chapter 291: Soul Devouring (Additional update, please subscribe)
Several days later.
Inside a certain underground cave.
Fang Xing opened a jade box, seeing a pale green essence pill the size of a fist inside, a smile appearing on his face.
Previously, when he and Chu Kuangtu worked together to slaughter that Azure Water Cold Flood Dragon, he didn't want anything else, only this essence pill and that "Azure Water Cold Flame."
The "Azure Water Cold Flame" was ranked at Rank 4 and was directly thrown into the "Green Yang Demonic Lamp" by Fang Xing, slowly absorbing its origin to enhance the power of the Soul-Devouring Demonic Fire.
The Green Yang Demonic Lamp was originally a strange treasure that could absorb various spiritual fires and increase the power of the origin fire seed.
After Fang Xing threw the Azure Water Cold Flame into the Green Yang Demonic Lamp, he didn't pay much attention to it.
At this moment, his attention was focused on this essence pill.
He saw that inside the semi-transparent flood dragon bead, a miniature little flood dragon was lying prone, appearing very listless.
"Just right, take this essence pill and experiment with the Wan Xiang Sect's 'Soul-Devouring Technique'..."
Fang Xing sat cross-legged and patted his head.
A streak of black light flashed above his heavenly spirit, and the Myriad Laws Ghost Nascent Soul appeared giggling.
It stretched out its hands, continuously casting seals, transforming into thin black threads that merged into the Azure Water Cold Flood Dragon's essence pill.
That miniature little flood dragon seemed to sense that disaster was imminent, constantly rushing left and right, but it had no effect at all.
The black threads were thin and wispy, constantly winding around the flood dragon's body like black shackles, finally causing the emerald-green little flood dragon to be unable to move.
Seeing this, a look of satisfaction appeared on the Myriad Laws Ghost Nascent Soul's face, and its hand seals changed.
Massive magic power surged out, wrapping the Rank 4 essence pill.
Accompanied by the flickering of one ancient rune after another, this Rank 4 essence pill constantly shrank, finally merging into the Myriad Laws Ghost Nascent Soul's mouth.
After the Myriad Laws Ghost Nascent Soul devoured the essence pill, it immediately sat cross-legged, the magic power on its body flickering, its aura unstable.
Light flashed!
Fang Xing's Sword Nascent Soul also left the body, and streaks of magic power struck the Myriad Laws Ghost Nascent Soul, assisting its breakthrough.
Time passed bit by bit.
Several hours later, the magic power fluctuations on the Myriad Laws Ghost Nascent Soul finally stabilized.
Its body seemed to have grown a bit sturdier, slowly moving from False Nascent Soul toward Nascent Soul early stage...
But clearly, it was still a bit short, not reaching the Nascent Soul early stage level.
"As expected... still one Nascent Soul short."
The Sword Nascent Soul returned to its position, Fang Xing opened his eyes, constantly examining the Myriad Laws Ghost Nascent Soul: "This demonic path's second Nascent Soul method is truly evil and extremely difficult; no wonder no one in the Wan Xiang Sect could practice it..."
Although cultivators who practiced False Nascent Souls in the Wan Xiang Sect were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, there were finally a few who left records in history.
But great experts who had cultivated a second Nascent Soul had never been seen in records.
Clearly, the requirement of killing two Nascent Soul True Monarchs, or even capturing a Nascent Soul alive for the Myriad Laws Nascent Soul to devour, was simply too harsh.
If the Wan Xiang Sect's Nascent Soul old monsters had such strength, they could have unified the Dajing cultivation world!
"However, this Soul-Devouring Technique is indeed feasible, it's just that the sequelae are a bit big..."
Fang Xing saw the Myriad Laws Ghost Nascent Soul open its eyes, its scarlet pupils carrying a hint of madness and malice, knowing that the sequelae of swallowing essence pills had arrived.
This Myriad Laws Ghost Nascent Soul had already been stimulated to ferocity and could backlash against its master at any time!
He was not afraid, grabbed the Myriad Laws Ghost Nascent Soul in his hand, and operated the "Great Sun Tathagata Mantra"!
After refining the Myriad Laws Ghost Nascent Soul again, it opened its eyes once more, its gaze clear but carrying a hint of confusion, no longer having the previous ferocity.
"As expected, no matter how demonic the Nascent Soul is, my Great Sun Tathagata Mantra can suppress it."
Fang Xing let out a long breath.
Since he decided to use the "Soul-Devouring Technique" to improve the Myriad Laws Nascent Soul's cultivation, he naturally had to bear the sequelae of the Myriad Laws Ghost Nascent Soul's divine abilities greatly advancing, inner demons being reborn, and even directly backlashing against its master!
The solution had long been thought of, which was to suppress it with the "Great Sun Tathagata Mantra."
In terms of demonic nature, how could the madness of merely swallowing a bit of Nascent Soul essence compare to an extraterrestrial evil god?
Facts proved that Fang Xing's guess was correct.
Now the Myriad Laws Ghost Nascent Soul's magic power had greatly advanced, and the Great Sun patterns on its forehead were becoming more dazzling, with no trend of rebellion at all.
"Very good, I can continue to feed it Nascent Souls... even, I can push it to advance to the Nascent Soul middle stage, or even Nascent Soul late stage before me!"
Although it was recorded in the Wan Xiang Sect's secret techniques that the second Nascent Soul cultivated through this kind of soul-devouring method had a greatly increased probability of rebellion at the Nascent Soul middle stage, and inevitable rebellion at the Nascent Soul late stage... but Fang Xing mastered the "Great Sun Tathagata Mantra" and was not very afraid.
More importantly... this was the fastest way to improve cultivation!
After advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, Fang Xing also tried to cultivate, and then reached a somewhat desperate conclusion.
Even on a Rank 4 spirit vein, with his spiritual root talent, wanting to cultivate to the peak of the Nascent Soul early stage magic power would require "centuries" as a unit.
If he encountered another bottleneck, advancing to the Nascent Soul middle stage might take hundreds of years!
This is the norm for Nascent Soul True Monarchs; most of the Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the righteous and demonic sides in the Dajing region were only at the Nascent Soul early stage.
As for learning from previous advanced experience and taking a large amount of pills to cultivate?
The value of Rank 4 pills is already difficult to measure in spirit stones; even waste pills are enough to make Jin Dan cultivators flock to them.
Wanting to obtain a large amount is basically impossible.
As for refining them himself?
Fang Xing looted the Wan Xiang Sect's treasury and calculated slightly, reaching a conclusion.
Wanting to refine enough pills for him to advance to the peak of the Nascent Soul early stage, one Wan Xiang Sect is not enough!
Exterminating four or five more Nascent Soul sects would be about enough.
The resources obtained in this way, all refined into Rank 4 pills, would barely be enough for him to cultivate to the peak of the Nascent Soul early stage within ten years.
But if he had this strength, directly unifying the Dajing cultivation world, wouldn't it be happy?
"In short... after the Nascent Soul stage, the improvement of magic power is even slower, often taking hundreds of years... but the Nascent Soul early stage might not be easy to mix in the Hanhai cultivation world; I need to improve my strength as soon as possible!"
"Cultivating the Myriad Laws Ghost Nascent Soul is a good plan... even if this ghost infant cannot break through to the Transformation into Divinity realm, if it can be cultivated to the Nascent Soul late stage realm, it can run rampant in the Hanhai cultivation world..."
Nascent Soul late stage cultivators, known as "Great True Monarchs," are the absolute top layer of the cultivation world if Transformation into Divinity does not appear!
Compared to his own righteous path Sword Nascent Soul advancing, Fang Xing felt that his demonic path might be faster.
"Roughly estimate, one more Nascent Soul, and it can truly transform the False Nascent Soul into a second Nascent Soul, with cultivation reaching the Nascent Soul early stage level..."
"Then refine four to eight more Nascent Souls, and it should be able to break through to the Nascent Soul middle stage."
"After the Nascent Soul middle stage, refine another dozen or twenty Nascent Souls, and it should be able to attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul late stage? It's just that the second Nascent Soul forcibly upgraded by this kind of demonic path secret technique has a chaotic foundation and will inevitably go crazy... it is absolutely impossible to break through to Transformation into Divinity, and it will inevitably backlash against its master!"
"Fortunately, none of these are problems for me."
After all, the second Nascent Soul is just a transition; being able to temporarily possess Great Great Zhenjun combat power is enough.
To advance to Transformation into Divinity, of course, it must be the true Sword Nascent Soul! "Exterminated dozens of Nascent Soul True Monarchs? It seems very difficult... better to first upgrade the Myriad Laws Ghost Nascent Soul to the Nascent Soul middle stage, which is more in line with reality..."
"Moreover, these are all calculated based on Nascent Soul early stage and Rank 4 low-grade essence pills... If there are Nascent Souls of Nascent Soul middle stage True Monarchs, or even Nascent Soul late stage Great True Monarchs, naturally one can top four or five, or even ten or eight..."
"More importantly... the Myriad Laws Nascent Soul grows fast enough, and there are almost no bottlenecks; as long as it devours enough Nascent Souls, it can always advance to the Nascent Soul late stage..."
Although Fang Xing didn't encounter any bottlenecks in the Jin Dan stage, he felt that it wouldn't work well after the Nascent Soul stage.
Which cultivator who can advance to the Nascent Soul stage is not talented, and has constant opportunities and encounters?
The number of Heavenly Grade spiritual roots can account for about half.
His talent, which is only slightly better than a Heavenly Spiritual Root, is probably not enough to look at.
"Whether it is high-level cultivation technique inheritance, Rank 4 pills, or even cultivators' Nascent Souls and essence pills... the Hanhai cultivation world is more suitable for cultivation; it's time to leave."
Fang Xing stood up, put away the Myriad Laws Ghost Nascent Soul, his expression somewhat melancholy: "Thinking back then, I came to the Raw Wilderness Land as soon as I traveled through, and then went to the Mature Wilderness Land... all were spinning around in the Great Wilderness cultivation world; now... finally moving toward a higher level of cultivation world?"
A jade slip appeared in his hand, with a rough map on it.
You can see that this cultivation world is unimaginably vast; even the Great Wilderness and Hanhai are only an insignificant part of it, and most of it is in the mist.
"From the Great Wilderness cultivation world to the Hanhai cultivation world... even if a Nascent Soul cultivator flies with all his might, it will take several years... not to mention there are many dangerous forbidden lands in between."
Fang Xing thought for a moment: "I can get a spaceship from the main universe, which can serve as a temporary cave dwelling and also as a vehicle..."
As long as the spaceship is not brought back to the main universe, he doesn't have to worry about any leakage problems.
"Even if the spaceship flies at the speed of light, it will take a long time to reach the Hanhai cultivation world... damn it, it turns out the length and width of this cultivation world are calculated in 'light-years'?"
"As expected, this side and the main universe are completely two worlds!"
After figuring this out, Fang Xing felt relieved instead.
On the main universe side, there is the threat of the Creator waking up and settling everything.
By now, he finally confirmed that this cultivation world, or cultivation universe, can be operated as a retreat.
Main universe.
White Bird Star.
Star River Island.
Fang Xing lay on a beach chair, looking at the shells washed up by the tide.
A hermit crab was climbing and digging holes on the golden beach...
"Stealing half a day of leisure from a busy life..."
He stretched, took another sip of juice, opened the virtual network, and checked the spaceship store directly.
He was using his own private spaceship very smoothly and prepared to buy another one to send to the cultivation world.
Moreover, he could buy one with a large biological laboratory, which would be convenient for doing research in the cultivation world.
"Besides that, I also need to solve the problem of mechs..."
"Biological mechs, or evil god mechs... the main raw materials are the flesh, blood, and bones of evil god descendants, or even extraterrestrial evil gods..."
Fang Xing swallowed the information for so many days and finally barely understood Han Chunfeng's introductory introduction.
At this moment, he fell into deep thought:
"The best target to take action against is, of course, that evil god world..."
"After an extraterrestrial evil god dies, the whale fall formed... constitutes an ecological cycle model, which is quite interesting."
"It's just a pity... that evil god descendant has already been born; once I go over again, I will inevitably be targeted by it..."
If it's the weakest type of evil god descendant, with only Eighth Realm combat power, Fang Xing is not very afraid now.
But if it's a Ninth Realm descendant like the chaotic descendant from the last rescue operation, it would be a big problem.
After placing an order on the virtual network, Fang Xing got up and came to the laboratory.
"Boss!"
A woman with wine-red hair, a good figure, and wearing a secretary's outfit immediately came out to greet him.
"Weijiali, has anything happened recently?"
Fang Xing took a document handed over by his secretary and looked at it: "Hmm... the flesh and blood of the chaotic descendant has been delivered? Good thing..."
"It's mainly the business of the Star Sea Company; our new inhibitor, as a flagship product, doesn't worry about sales at all... the main production is supplied to the Nine Sword Academy, and many companies have sent cooperation invitations... among them, a few need special attention; even if rejected, it's best for the boss to communicate personally..."
As a high-level professional, Weijiali's thinking was very fast, and she was very competent as a secretary.
"I know..."
Fang Xing looked and his expression moved: "This Davis... actually came to be a lobbyist?"
Among the clients Weijiali highlighted, there were large companies under the Xu family, and school-run enterprises of Blue Star University.
Sure enough, these were not easy to reject directly; even if rejected, he had to come forward personally.
This was not because he was afraid of them, but human relationships were just like this.
Fang Xing thought for a moment and dialed Davis's communication first.
"Haha... Fang, I actually didn't know that besides being an excellent martial artist, you were also a genius scientist and an outstanding businessman."
Davis's projection appeared, walking beside Fang Xing as if he were a real person, his movements and expressions exaggerated: "The current Star Sea Company, just the tax amount is enough to compare to the top 100 companies on White Bird Star... I believe becoming the planet's number one in the future is just a matter of time."
"Thank you for your praise. Mr. Davis..."
Fang Xing smiled slightly: "You also want to reserve a share of the inhibitor? Sorry... our company's production is limited."
"No no no, not me, but a friend of mine... he is a real big tycoon, with more than 100 outstanding descendants, one of whom is a mech pilot considering the biological mech route and needs a bit of inhibitor for research... believe me, Fang, he hasn't reached the point of building an exclusive mech, so the amount needed is very small."
Davis reported a number, Fang Xing's eyes moved slightly, feeling it could be satisfied.
After all, the raw material channel was in his hands, and the production was naturally up to him.
However, Fang Xing walked a few steps before mentioning another question: "Davis, we are good friends... I will definitely help if I can, but I want to ask, about the retirement and scrapping of federal aging mechs..."
