Chapter 411: Two Yin-Yang Rings (End of Month, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

Several days later.

The Battle of Tianma Plain has ended, with the Death Island side achieving a decisive victory.

After this battle, not only did the entire Feixuan cultivation world submit in submission, but other cultivation realms also dispatched high-tier cultivators bearing expensive gifts to pledge allegiance to Fang Xing.

Upon hearing the news that the higher-realm emissaries had all perished at the hands of Death Island's Second Master, all Nascent Soul cultivators understood that, at least within the Qianyuan Great Realm, the Venerable Fang Yun was now beyond fear.

Naturally, they could only obediently submit.

Fortunately, Death Island asked for little—only fifth-tier resources from each household…

Well… to many Nascent Soul cultivators, this was nearly equivalent to surrendering their lives.

Yet, when weighed against their own survival, their lives were undoubtedly more important.

…

At the summit of Tianyu Mountain, the most spiritually abundant peak in the Feixuan cultivation world, within a cave dwelling.

Fang Xing's main body sat cross-legged, slowly digesting the memories he had taken from the descending emissary.

"The Spirit Realm is boundless… the lands held by humanity amount to no more than one in ten thousand."

"Above Refining Void lies Union Body, Great Ascension… and when Great Ascension is fully perfected, one may endure the Immortal Ascension Tribulation and ascend to immortality?"

"The Nine Fragrance Palace is indeed formidable, ranked alongside the Eastern Dragon Imperial Court and the Spirit Moon Sect as the three ancestral seats of humanity in the Spirit Realm, guarded by a Great Ascension elder… This time, we've truly angered the Nine Fragrance Palace."

Though he thought this, Fang Xing was utterly unconcerned.

After all, he now knew that upon ascension, he might appear anywhere within the human territories of the Spirit Realm—it was impossible he'd be so unlucky as to encounter Nine Fragrance Palace members.

"The most important things in this woman's memories are the Immortal Mansion's rare treasures… and a certain array."

Fang Xing rubbed his chin, lost in thought.

He could now unify the Qianyuan Great Realm and scour the entire world for the lost Ding Spirit of the Wan Hua Cauldron.

Moreover, within the memory of this descending female cultivator, there was yet another extraordinarily mysterious array.

By leveraging the connection to a seven- to eight-tenths complete Wan Hua Cauldron, combined with array nodes scattered across the mortal realm, and channeling sacrifice and blood offerings, one could forcibly summon the 'Ding Spirit'!

At that time, as long as the Ding Spirit remained in this realm, it would be utterly unable to escape.

'But it seems rather bloody… I probably couldn't bring myself to do it.'

'Besides, it's just one Immortal Mansion treasure—aside from being excellent for alchemy, it doesn't seem particularly extraordinary.'

'External strength can never compare to one's own strength…'

Fang Xing sat cross-legged, focusing his awareness on his attribute panel:

【Name: Fang Xing】

【Age: 102】

【Profession: Immortal Warrior】

【Ninth Realm: Martial God】

【Star Lord Realm: Planetary Level】

【Martial Will Inscription: 800/800 (Master）】

【Star Martial Nine Extremes: 2433/3000 (Master）】

【Star Palace Scroll: 22/100 (Proficient）】

【Great Sun Tathagata Mantra: 800/800 (Master）】

【Heavenly Mother Virtuous Golden Lotus Twin Guardian Base: 800/800 (Master）】

【Great Sun Tathagata Divine Palm: 573/800 (Master）】

【Fire Law: 185/6400 (Proficient）】

【Space Law: 363/10000 (Proficient）】

【Fate Law: 63/5000 (Beginner）】

【Nine Sources Star Body Refinement Secret Art: 97/100 (Proficient）】

【Wan Xin: 23/200 (Proficient）】

【Gate of All Realms: 100/100】

…

"The full completion of the Will Inscription means my Martial God will has reached its limit…"

"The Great Sun Tathagata Divine Palm is also nearing Master-level perfection. The path of the Martial God is nearly at its end."

Fang Xing suddenly felt a pang of reflection.

It was the regret shared by all Blue Star Martial Gods—the path of the Martial God had nearly reached its zenith, and beyond it, there was no path left.

He yawned, then turned his gaze to the three Laws he had yet to master, and beneath them, the Body Refinement Secret Art and Wan Xin Secret Method—suddenly, the road ahead seemed long and arduous…

"Fate Law… truly a higher-tier Law! Even at the beginner stage, it's already terrifying…"

"And the Gate of All Realms—after years of progress, its completion has finally arrived. I can now open a new world."

Fang Xing felt a quiet anticipation.

Crossing a galaxy cluster in the main universe was no task to be accomplished overnight.

Even several years might not suffice.

This idle period was perfect for thoroughly exploring a new world.

…

In another cave dwelling.

The green phoenix cried out, its voice faintly tinged with sorrow.

Moments later.

Fang Xing's cultivation avatar strolled out lazily, clad in a loose, casual white robe, his hair unkempt, wandering idly through the garden until he reached a jade zither:

To be honest, if it weren't for cultivation, I wouldn't even bother leaving my retreat—I'd just find a spiritual vein, occasionally play the zither, admire the flowers, travel to Cangwu in the morning and the Northern Sea by night—that's the true joy of cultivation.

Behind him, Immortal Qiong rolled her eyes inwardly.

The merciless, ruthless Venerable Ming Kun—who had destroyed numerous fifth-tier holy sites and slain several Nascent Soul Heavenly Lords—saying such things? Only fools would believe it. "Never mind…"

Fang Xing paid no mind: "The Child Remnant and the Purple Yuan Daoist have both been placed under soul-binding restrictions—even a Refining Void cultivator cannot break them. Have them unify the Qianyuan Great Realm! Afterwards, rule this realm under the name of Death Island… you shall be my Death Island Grand Administrator."

"Yes!"

Immortal Qiong's heart surged with excitement.

Since ancient times, no cultivator had ever truly unified the Qianyuan Great Realm!

Now, they were forging history.

And the benefits behind this were enough to drive any cultivator mad.

"Same as before… you must surrender all fifth-tier pills and other resources, or face annihilation."

Fang Xing added softly.

"Yes!"

Immortal Qiong bowed deeply, her expression solemn, then withdrew respectfully.

Fang Xing entered a pavilion and casually pulled out a bottle of confiscated fifth-tier "Great Sun Pill." The pill glowed crimson like the sun itself, ideal for Nascent Soul cultivators practicing fire-based arts to enhance their spiritual power.

He casually swallowed one, activated the Great Sun Tathagata Mantra, and instantly assimilated it—his soul grew stronger by a fraction, leaving him thoroughly satisfied: "These newly acquired pills, especially the Great Sun Pills, are truly excellent…"

He felt these pills suited him perfectly.

Unfortunately, the "Great Sun Divine Palace," which produced them, had already been destroyed.

But it didn't matter—as long as the fifth-tier spiritual herbs still existed, they could be continuously produced again, given time.

For Nascent Soul Venerables, fifth-tier pills that enhanced spiritual power remained exceedingly rare.

Most would never dare consume them during regular cultivation, saving them instead to break through bottlenecks.

To consume them like candy, as Fang Xing did, was utterly unprecedented.

Even in the Spirit Realm, such extravagance was exceedingly rare—perhaps only the Dao Sons of great Great Ascension sects like the Nine Fragrance Palace might enjoy such treatment.

And this reckless consumption led to terrifyingly rapid advancement.

In less than a few years, he had advanced from Nascent Soul Early Stage to Mid-Stage.

Judging by this pace, the bottleneck to Nascent Soul Late Stage would break within days.

'Hmm… even the Dao Sons of the Nine Fragrance Palace, without the Great Sun Tathagata Mantra, would have to slowly assimilate the pill's power—they could never advance as swiftly as I do.'

Fang Xing pulled out another "Great Sun Pill" and swallowed it whole, feeling as if he'd ingested a ball of flame.

Even Nascent Soul cultivators of the Great Sun Divine Palace dared not swallow such a violent pill directly—they wrapped it in their soul and slowly extracted its solar essence.

That process could take ten years, even decades!

They often feared the pill's potency was too fierce, so they used various methods to temper it—such as taking it with lunar supplements.

But for Fang Xing, the fiercer the pill's nature, the better.

He didn't even fear if it contained toxins!

Hmm, the Wan Hua Cauldron's purification ensured these supreme pills contained no trace of poison.

Even if they did, under the Great Sun Tathagata Mantra, they were merely fuel and nourishment.

…

After daily consumption of fifth-tier pills like candy, Fang Xing entered a grand hall.

Outside the hall, layers of seals stretched endlessly, shimmering in five-colored light, radiating extreme cold.

The entire plaza outside the hall was paved with ten-thousand-year ice jade, exuding supreme cold energy.

Yet, beyond the palace, faint waves of heat could be felt—evidencing the scorching temperature within.

Fang Xing felt his Purple-Blue Divine Flame stir slightly, smiled, and stepped into the hall.

Inside the grand hall, bronze pillars rose from the ground, their surfaces engraved with countless complex and mysterious seal script characters.

Countless prohibitions, dense as chains, sealed a spirit flame upon each bronze pillar.

Crimson, deep blue, pale white, bright yellow, blood red…

All manner of immortal flames and demonic fires emitted terrifying radiance and heat.

These, of course, were Fang Xing's spoils of war.

Though celestial and terrestrial spirit fires were rare, after conquering the entire cultivation world, he had found many.

Especially after slaying cultivators who wielded demonic fire techniques, such spoils were often obtained.

Most were fourth-rank, but several fifth-rank ones were among them.

He approached one bronze pillar and saw within it sealed a blood-red spirit flame.

This was a demonic spirit flame—'Ten Thousand Souls Blood Flame'!

Not a natural celestial fire, but a demonic flame forged through demonic cultivation arts, capable of burning blood and eroding bones, left behind by a deceased demonic Nascent Soul Great True Lord.

Fang Xing casually inhaled, drawing the primordial spirit flame through his mouth and nose into his dantian.

The Purple-Blue Divine Flame flashed, easily enveloping and refining the Ten Thousand Souls Blood Flame… its power increased by a negligible fraction.

"After all, it's only a fourth-rank spirit fire."

Fang Xing shook his head and moved toward the next bronze pillar.

He no longer needed the Qing Yang Demonic Lamp; even its methods and prohibitions for nurturing various demonic fires now seemed crude and crude.

The cultivation technique Fang Xing now used was derived from the secret scriptures of numerous fifth-rank factions renowned for fire in the cultivation world—such as those from the Great Sun Divine Palace—then fused into one through the 'Great Sun Tathagata Mantra,' forming a new method known as the 'Sacrificial Flame Scripture,' which follows the path of 'Offering the Body to Fire'!

Once the Purple-Blue Divine Flame devours these many fourth- and fifth-rank spirit flames, its power will surely rise another tier.

After devouring so many flames, Fang Xing let out a satisfied burp and touched a strange circular ring on his hand—the 'Yin-Yang Ring'!

"This artifact is at least high-grade sixth-rank… perhaps even quasi-seventh-rank? Especially since a strand of primordial Yin-Yang Magnetic Divine Light was forged into it—a rarity even in the Spirit Realm, capable of suppressing the Five Elements and forbidding all arts…"

"But now, it belongs to me."

The spirit within the Yin-Yang Ring was fiercely resistant, but Fang Xing was no kind-hearted soul; struck by his true body's martial will, it instantly shattered.

Otherwise, the Yin-Yang Ring might have been a true seventh-rank artifact!

Only two updates today.
