Chapter 354

"Ah!"

In the void, a scream came abruptly.

It was Great Zhenjun Yu Xue!

His blood escape technique was broken, the magic armor on his body melted rapidly under the Great Sun True Fire, and his physical body was burned into a pile of ashes.

Only a pitch-black, tall and strong Nascent Soul was submerged by countless golden swastika symbols, turning into a golden doll, falling into Fang Xing's palm.

"Eh?"

Fang Xing was somewhat surprised and looked toward Great Zhenjun Master Xu Yun: "To be able to take two moves of Spirit Severing, your potential, strength, and luck... are all above that demonic path Great Zhenjun."

Great Zhenjun Master Xu Yun revealed his true face, which was a face with distinct angles, blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth, clearly already seriously injured.

Now seeing Fang Xing, it was as if he saw a Spirit Severing Venerable, his heart full of despair.

What was even more sad was that he had previously taken the initiative to use the 'Mountain and River Map' to seal the nearby void, resulting in even using various void methods to escape becoming a luxury, which could be called trapping himself.

After all, who could have imagined... originally it was just catching a turtle in a jar, and even two Great Zhenjuns were dispatched, yet they would encounter such a speechless situation?!

If the Profound Heaven Sect still had a Spirit Severing combat power outside, they would have long since rebuilt the Holy Land and wouldn't have let the five lineages be so miserable and down-and-out for so many years.

'I... promise you.'

Under the desire to survive, Zhenjun Master Xu Yun couldn't help but transmit his voice to a mysterious existence.

"Hmm?"

Fang Xing raised his eyebrows and saw the heaven and earth spirit power gathering in front of him, faintly forming a Luo Han golden body.

An incomparably terrifying magic power fluctuation emerged.

"Benefactor, it is better to forgive when one can!"

On the golden face of the Luo Han giant, an old voice was emitted.

"Inducing heaven and earth spirit power, a Spirit Severing cultivator?"

Fang Xing's martial arts will soared into the sky, transforming into a Great Sun Tathagata Dharma Image, immediately sweeping away all spirit power pressure. Upon hearing this, he sneered: "Seems like a Spirit Severing cultivator who didn't die thoroughly, with only a trace of Nascent Soul left... What is this? A portable grandpa? Worthy of being a Great Zhenjun, each one is a protagonist of the time... Die for me!"

The current Fang Xing, even if he encountered a living Spirit Severing cultivator, would dare to fight a few moves, so naturally, he couldn't be scared away by a trace of remnant soul.

He slapped out with one palm, and the Great Sun Tathagata Dharma Image behind him immediately presented a Jin Gang angry look, transforming into an Immovable King, and the big hand slapped down.

Whoosh whoosh!

The crimson and cyan heaven and earth spirit power were like tides, colliding with each other, setting off monstrous waves.

Subsequently...

That Luo Han golden body was submerged by the crimson spirit power...

"Not good, the junior doesn't talk about martial virtue, let's run quickly."

Great Zhenjun Master Xu Yun heard the intent transmitted by his own Venerable's remnant soul and was shocked.

This was his last trump card.

But it seemed, it was still ineffective against that body cultivator Great Zhenjun!

This 'Venerable Jueming' was obtained by him when he was forming the Nascent Soul, in a ruin cave dwelling, and had always been a great opportunity that he kept secret.

If it weren't for the other party's guidance, he wouldn't have been able to condense the Nascent Soul at all and break into the Nascent Soul late-stage realm.

But he didn't expect that even Venerable Jueming couldn't take down Fang Xing!

"I will perform a Nascent Soul secret technique later to shake that junior's mind... if you miss this good opportunity again, you will surely die."

Fortunately, Venerable Jueming's voice came again, making Great Zhenjun Master Xu Yun feel at ease: 'Senior Jueming, if I can escape alive, I will definitely refine a body for you! Live a second life!'

Then...

He heard Venerable Jueming's scream!

"Ah!"

Venerable Jueming's voice was full of shock, pain... and then fell into dead silence.

Great Zhenjun Master Xu Yun hadn't even spoken yet when he saw Fang Xing arrive in front of him, and a trace of despair couldn't help but appear on his face...

A moment later.

Fang Xing put away the two Great Zhenjun-level Nascent Souls and checked the storage bags one by one.

"Hmm? Worthy of being a Great Zhenjun, they are truly wealthy, and there are quite a few top-grade spirit stones..."

"Eh? There is actually a 'Nascent Soul Strengthening Pill'? The cultivation avatar is in luck, it will definitely be able to break through the Nascent Soul mid-stage..."

'And there are these few bottles of spirit medicine, which should be able to make the magic power even more refined...'

Suddenly, a flash of spirit light appeared in his hand, revealing a pitch-black wood carving.

This wood carving was carved into the appearance of a Luo Han, sitting cross-legged on a lotus platform, with kind eyebrows and pleasant eyes, and soft lines.

The wood carving was pitch black, and a refreshing sandalwood scent faintly wafted out.

Fang Xing just sniffed it lightly and felt invigorated: "This is... Yanpo Sandalwood? One of the three great divine sense treasures rumored to be mentioned alongside the Soul-Nurturing Tree and the Heart-Heaven Wood?"

Looking at the grade of this wood, it was at least fifth-grade.

And within the Luo Han Buddha statue, there was a trace of Nascent Soul fluctuation that he was very familiar with. "After a Spirit Severing cultivator dies, only a trace of Nascent Soul remains, entrusted to the Yanpo Sandalwood to maintain vitality? Sure enough, the higher the realm of a cultivator, the harder it is to die thoroughly..."

Fang Xing shook the statue in his hand: "Don't hide anymore..."

"Amitabha... this humble monk 'Jueming', greets the benefactor." A thin divine sense transmission came from the Luo Han statue: "The cultivation talent of the benefactor is simply unbelievable. Even those Refining Emptiness great powers in history were far inferior to the benefactor when they were at the Nascent Soul late stage... Could it be a true immortal reincarnated?"

Venerable Jueming's voice carried a trace of flattery.

"If you can say nice things, say more..."

Fang Xing watched the wood carving with a smile, making Venerable Jueming speechless, feeling that this body cultivator Great Zhenjun had a personality very different from those other cultivators.

However, as a Buddhist Venerable, he was best at making lotus flowers bloom from his tongue: "This humble monk was previously controlled by others and had to act like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Please forgive me, benefactor..."

"You weren't very brave before, you even dared to use a divine sense attack on me." Fang Xing's smile didn't diminish.

Venerable Jueming was speechless.

This was also what he was most confused and puzzled about.

He was a Buddhist cultivator and a Spirit Severing Venerable, and his application and essence of divine sense were extremely high.

Yet he didn't expect that a full-force 'Golden Buddha Lion's Roar' would have no effect on this Great Zhenjun in front of him, and he was even backlashed, and the Nascent Soul that he had finally managed to recover a little bit almost directly entered Nirvana...

'Could it be... really a true immortal reincarnated?'

In Venerable Jueming's heart, a trace of speculation couldn't help but appear.

"Monk Jueming, you are a Spirit Severing Venerable after all. Although Buddhist cultivators are very rare in the Hanhai Cultivation World, why did you fall to such a state?"

Fang Xing was somewhat curious.

A Spirit Severing Venerable is already at the top level of the Hanhai Cultivation World. Theoretically speaking, they shouldn't be so unlucky.

Could it be... encountered a Refining Emptiness Heavenly Venerable?

"Sigh... the cultivators of this world, the orthodoxy is all in the Immortal Dao, and they are relatively exclusive to Buddhist cultivators... The 'Jin Gang Prajna Temple' where this poor monk is located was the inheritance left by a great Buddhist cultivator from the upper realm when he descended to the world the time before last... This poor monk had little Buddhist heart, cultivated hard for many years, and finally advanced to Spirit Severing. I originally wanted to promote the Buddhist Dharma, but didn't expect to encounter the Ancient Demon Rebellion!"

Venerable Jueming's voice carried a trace of fear: "That Ancient Demon had astonishing supernatural powers, suspected to be a great power who fell from the Refining Emptiness realm. For the sake of all living beings in the world, this poor monk had to try my best to subdue the demon with my body... Alas, my Buddhist Dharma cultivation was insufficient, and my Luo Han golden body was broken by that Ancient Demon, and my Nascent Soul was almost extinguished... Fortunately, a trace of Nascent Soul remained, entrusted in this Buddha statue, lingering on..."

"So it's another unlucky person from the Ancient Demon Rebellion." Fang Xing was quite emotional.

Back then, there were countless big figures who died in the hands of the Ancient Demon without announcing their deaths.

'The Nascent Soul Zhenjuns of this world live for a thousand years, and Spirit Severing cultivators live for about two thousand years. Only by refining emptiness and ascending can one have no worries about lifespan... This monk Jueming counts the days, actually, the lifespan limit is not far away, at most a few hundred years...'

Fang Xing asked: "Descending to the world... how to interpret it?"

"Benefactor may not know... the Hanhai Cultivation World we are in is attached to the 'Qianyuan Great World', and human realms like the 'Qianyuan Great World' number 129,600 in the eyes of Buddhism, and countless cultivators and living beings multiply and practice in them... Once one breaks through to Refining Emptiness, one can cross the world and ascend to the upper realm, but there are several upper realms, such as the 'Spirit Realm' where cultivators of this world ascend, the 'Demon Realm' where the Ancient Demon belongs, and the 'Brahma Realm' where this poor monk's ancestor came from... The Grand Void operates indefinitely, and its power is unfathomable. Ascending from the lower realm to the upper realm is already incomparably difficult, and descending from the upper realm to the lower realm is almost impossible... Unless by chance, the power of the realm is weakened ten thousand times, this is the 'time of descending to the world', which often does not last long... Instead, the intersection between many lower realms might last longer."

'So it's a spatial intersection?!'

Fang Xing immediately thought of the 'Boundary Land' of the Great Xia World, which is essentially the overlap of two major spaces.

"So that's it, but lower realm cultivators cultivate hard to ascend for a reason, why do upper realm cultivators descend to the world?"

Fang Xing thought of a doubt: "Could it be that the Qianyuan Great World has something special?"

"Amitabha... my Buddha saves all people, and sends Buddhist sons to descend to the world to preach..."

Venerable Jueming said: "As for why that Ancient Demon descended to the world, and what grudge he had with the Profound Heaven Sect, this poor monk truly knows nothing."

"So that's it."

Fang Xing nodded, seemingly believing it.

Venerable Jueming immediately struck while the iron was hot: "Although this humble monk has shallow learning, I consider myself quite knowledgeable about the Hanhai Cultivation World, and I know several ruins and Buddhist treasure opportunities... I am willing to offer them all to the benefactor, only asking to accompany the benefactor and solve problems for the benefactor."

"Haha... you've gotten used to being a portable grandpa, or are you afraid that I'll kill you directly?"

Fang Xing laughed, somewhat tempted, but immediately gave up.

After all, he is not a true native, and he has too many secrets.

What's the point of bringing a portable grandpa?

Furthermore... this Spirit Severing Venerable might not be telling the truth, and his own "Ten Thousand Hearts" secret technique is still lacking, making it difficult to search the soul of a Spirit Severing cultivator.

Fortunately... his own means are not just the secret techniques in "Ten Thousand Hearts".

"This humble monk... indeed has selfish motives, and is willing to hand over all my savings to the benefactor, only asking the benefactor to refine a body for this humble monk in the future..."

Monk Jueming's voice was earnest.

"Fine... then please come into my sea of consciousness and be on standby for consultation."

Fang Xing grabbed the Luo Han statue, his mental power overflowed, and he found the dim golden Nascent Soul deep in the statue.

Subsequently...

He opened his own sea of consciousness and welcomed the other party's Nascent Soul in.
