Chapter 345: Leaving seclusion (Seeking subscriptions)

"Once Senior Brother condenses the Nascent Soul and becomes a Great Zhenjun, our Iron Sword Sect can seize a Rank 4 spiritual vein in the Outer Sea as a foundation, and from then on, carry it forward."

Zhou Shidi Zhou's eyes were a bit fiery.

Several Golden Core True People of the Iron Sword Sect grew up together since childhood, and their feelings were very good.

Of course, the key was the ancestral "Styx God Stone," which could sign the "Styx Blood Covenant," which had a certain binding force even on Great True Monarchs.

They all made oaths to keep secrets and glorify the sect, so naturally, they worked together.

What's more, in the Iron Sword Sect today, only True Person Huolong has the highest cultivation, faintly touching the Golden Core Great Perfection.

This Essence Great Core is mainly fire-attribute.

It can be said that except for True Person Huolong, other junior brothers and sisters are not qualified to use it.

"Hmm, that should be the case."

True Person Huolong nodded: "Zhou Shidi, you came just in time. I have already found an island with a spiritual vein. Although it only has a Rank 3 spiritual vein, it can temporarily provide shelter, which is better than living under others' fences on Mingkun Island and being fearful all day long."

Although the Master of Mingkun Island has been in seclusion for decades, they are still afraid!

At this time, Fang Xing, who was missed by a large number of cultivators, was in the "Land of Spiritual Eyes" where the spiritual energy of Mingkun Island was most abundant.

After decades of seclusion, his appearance was the same as before, without the slightest change.

At this time, a powerful magic power fluctuation emerged from his body, and then he let out a muffled groan, and a trace of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Sure enough... have I finally encountered a bottleneck?"

Fang Xing's cultivation clone was a bit disappointed and stood up.

After decades of seclusion, he refined all the large amount of resources he had looted into pills, removed the pill toxins through the Ten Thousand Transformations Cauldron, and then cultivated bitterly with the help of the Rank 4 spiritual vein on Mingkun Island, finally cultivating his magic power to the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage!

For Nascent Soul cultivators, being able to cultivate to this realm after decades of seclusion is already a huge profit.

They often go into seclusion for decades at a time, often used to cultivate techniques or some great divine ability.

After leaving seclusion, it is a sea change!

"However... for me, this cultivation clone is gradually falling behind."

"After all, whether it is Blue Star Martial Arts or the Source Power cultivation system... they all seemed to be much faster than cultivation at the beginning."

Fang Xing sighed faintly.

After cultivating to the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage, he naturally tried to break through to the mid-stage Nascent Soul.

Alas... he found that he had encountered a bottleneck and could no longer break through smoothly like before when his magic power was cultivated to the peak.

In fact, this is the normal situation in the cultivation world.

Even with Heavenly Spiritual Roots, there is no bottleneck before Golden Core, but after Golden Core, it is possible to encounter one.

His spiritual roots were superior to ordinary Heavenly Spiritual Roots, and he didn't encounter many bottlenecks even in the Golden Core stage cultivation.

But after condensing the Nascent Soul, he finally felt an obstacle when breaking through to the mid-stage Nascent Soul.

"Over the years, using the Explorer, which is the Mingkun, I have done a lot of experiments, and the improvement of spiritual roots seems to have reached its limit."

Fang Xing pondered silently.

This is actually a normal phenomenon. After all, the spells of the cultivation world have their limits, not to mention that this blood sacrifice method was created by a Golden Core cultivator, the Master of Wan Fa.

Being able to lose effect only after reaching this level is already far beyond Fang Xing's expectations.

"The technological means here don't work, so I can only rely on the traditional means of the cultivation world."

He muttered to himself.

Cultivators in the cultivation world encounter bottlenecks and generally have three ways to break through.

The first is to continue sitting and meditating, relying on time to slowly endure, perhaps ten years, decades, perhaps a hundred years, hundreds of years... and suddenly break through with a flash of inspiration.

Of course, in this situation, more often than not, they are trapped in a bottleneck for a lifetime and cannot break through.

For most cultivators in the cultivation world, cultivating to a certain limit, encountering a bottleneck, and being unable to break through is a normal situation.

Then, they often put their energy into other aspects, such as enjoying life, such as establishing a family, revitalizing the sect.

Only true bitter cultivators, those with hope for the Great Dao, will suffer bitterly for a glimmer of breakthrough opportunity.

The second is to travel outside, fight... hoping for a sudden "enlightenment," but the possibility of dying in a fight also increases greatly.

The third is to break through with the help of various secret techniques, strange objects, and even pills.

For Fang Xing, having already sat in meditation for decades, the first method was naturally not an option.

The third method currently does not have the conditions. Pills and secret techniques that can assist early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators to break through to the mid-stage... are very rare and rare even in the Hanhai cultivation world, and I am afraid they will only occasionally appear at large auctions in the Inner Sea.

"So, I must leave seclusion, travel outside, and look for opportunities by the way?"

Fang Xing's eyes lit up, and then he patted his crown. A cyan-black Nascent Soul emerged, its eyes crimson, with a Great Sun mark on its brow; it was the "Wan Fa Ghost Infant"!

After so many years, the Wan Fa Ghost Infant is still in the early Nascent Soul realm.

"My main body cannot quickly break through the realm, but I do indeed possess the secret technique for the Second Nascent Soul to break through."

Fang Xing fell into deep thought.

The second Nascent Soul can break through the realm quickly through the "Soul-Devouring Technique," but this method requires a large number of Nascent Souls or Essence Great Cores, and it hurts the harmony of heaven. Once discovered, everyone will definitely shout and beat it.

"But I can't care about that anymore. The second Nascent Soul grows rapidly, breaking into the mid-stage or even late-stage Nascent Soul, that counts as a bit useful. Otherwise, in the main world, a mere early-stage Eighth Realm combat power, what's the point?"

At this time, the cyan-black second Nascent Soul beckoned again, and the "Cyan Yang Demon Lamp" it held grew rapidly.

In the lamp, the original Nanming Li Fire and Soul-Devouring Demon Fire had long since merged into one, turning into a cyan-purple lamp flame.

"This fire has refined demons into righteousness, and its power is infinite. Perhaps it can be called 'Purple Cyan Divine Flame'!"

Fang Xing nodded, and the Nascent Soul's small hand grabbed it.

After the bean-sized "Purple Cyan Divine Flame" left the Cyan Yang Demon Lamp, it suddenly surged and turned into a fist-sized flame.

Under Fang Xing's manipulation, it turned into the shapes of fire dragons, fire phoenixes, and fire trees, all lifelike.

Its power far exceeded the past, but it was more comfortable to operate.

"Fire Law... Although the Fire Law in this world is different from the Great Xia world, its power is weakened a lot, but at least it can make me sense and slightly manipulate the fire spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and the power of various fire-attribute spells will greatly increase..."

Fang Xing's eyes lit up slightly, and he was thoughtful again.

The Source Power system of Great Xia, from profound mystery to law, from law to Great Dao!

Its relationship is constantly advancing, and its adaptability is constantly increasing.

"The power of profound mystery is weakened in the main universe, and in the cultivation world, it is weakened by more than 99%... Obviously, profound mystery is not suitable for different worlds."

"The power of law is interesting... There are also Five Elements in the cultivation world, and the Fire Law also has a place to be used, but many are not suitable and need to be re-perceived and adjusted... but obviously it will not have the power of the Great Xia world."

"And the power of the Great Dao is completely different. I am afraid it is suitable for many dimensions, universes, and worlds... As long as the Great Dao exists, the power of the Great Dao will operate without hindrance..."

"Everything in time and space exists eternally... Da Luo?"

"Or, although the cultivation world, the Great Xia world, and the main universe are not in the same world... but these many worlds and universes... belong to the same area in a higher category? The concept of the universe sea? The concept of the river of time and space?"

Fang Xing had some guesses, but he knew that before he ascended to a high enough realm, any more guesses would be a joke.

At this time, slightly performing a few fire-attribute spells, he knew that his perception of the Fire Law also had an increase for the cultivation clone.

"It's a pity... why isn't it the perception of the Gold Law? Otherwise, with my sword skills, when I reach the late Nascent Soul stage, I would be no less than a Spirit Severing Venerable."

Spirit Severing Venerables can trigger the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and perceiving laws can also leverage the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

In this regard, Fang Xing is confident that he can tie with a Spirit Severing Venerable.

Alas, the foundation, that is, the magic power, is too poor, so he is definitely not as good as a Spirit Severing Venerable today.

The magic power of the early Nascent Soul is at least several times weaker than the magic power of the late Nascent Soul!

And the magic power of a late-stage Nascent Soul Great Great Zhenjun is a major realm worse than a Spirit Severing Venerable, which may be a ten-fold gap!

Combined, it is a gap of dozens of times!

"Forget it... the main body is not as good as it is, the Wan Fa Ghost Infant can cultivate the 'Cyan Yang Demon Lamp' into a natal spirit treasure, cultivate demon fire divine abilities... and then through crazy devouring of Nascent Souls, ascend to late-stage or even perfect Nascent Soul, although there is no hope of ascending to Spirit Severing, it is not a big problem to rival Spirit Severing."

Being able to rival ordinary Spirit Severing Venerables is Ninth Realm combat power, which is barely enough to cause trouble in the main universe.

"My perception of the Fire Law might even exceed many Spirit Severing Venerables... but facing a Spirit Severing Yu Tianzun, it is highly likely that it is still not enough."

"But is there really a Spirit Severing Yu Tianzun in the Hanhai cultivation world today?"

Such an existence, even if there is one, is likely only in the two holy lands of the Wuji Hall and the Misty Immortal Palace.

After all, they are forces that have produced Spirit Severing periods and ascended great powers.

Other cultivation sects and loose cultivator inheritances, even if they are lucky enough to have had Spirit Severing Venerables, are difficult to inherit from generation to generation, let alone peeking into higher realms.

Precisely because of this, the destruction of the Origin Yuan Shen Jian Zong set off a carnival for cultivators in the Hanhai cultivation world.

I don't know how many Spirit Severing Venerables made moves in the dark, wanting to seize the inheritance of the Origin Yuan Shen Jian Zong's "Spirit Void Sword Scripture," to complete their own Spirit Severing path, or at least pave the way for the Spirit Severing Yu Tianzun!

"Time to leave seclusion."

Fang Xing's heart moved, turning into a sword light, flying out of the Land of Spiritual Eyes, and arriving in the Mingkun.

"Little Green, how has the island been operating recently?"

He sat on the sofa, drinking fruit juice from the main universe, and asked casually.

With a flash of light, an elf similar to Little Blue emerged, only the wings were green.

"Master... this is the annual work report written by Ni Huolong and other True People."

"In addition, there are the top-grade spiritual stones handed over every year, market taxes..."

Little Green manipulated the drone and brought several storage bags in front of Fang Xing: "The monitoring I set up on Mingkun Island has recorded evidence of 342 cultivators committing crimes, a few of which need to be handled by the master personally..."
