Chapter 383: Shockwaves
Chapter 383: Shockwaves
T
Major powers had suffered varying degrees of damage to their elite forces, leading to an imbalance of power. Naturally, a great upheaval was needed to establish each faction's position.
The most shocking news was the promotion of the Dark Kui Island Master to the Divine Transformation stage.
Whenever a cultivator advanced to the Divine Transformation stage, it would cause a massive tsunami in the Vast Sea Immortal World, even being seen as the beginning of a golden age of cultivation or chaos.
Just as various factions were eagerly awaiting news from the Dark Kui Island Master, he delivered a sensational scoop.
...
Dark Sky Island.
According to the rules of the Immortal World, this place had been renamed Iron Sword Island.
The Iron Sword Gate's mountain gate was located here.
Although the mountain gate was newly established, the various Core Formation Realmen of the Iron Sword Gate were quite satisfied with this island.
Especially those at the Core Formation level, upon hearing that the Dark Kui Island Master had advanced to the Divine Transformation stage, they were so scared that they wet themselves.
Not only did they proactively relocate, but they also paid a substantial amount of spirit stones as 'rent' and 'compensation'.
This also made the Iron Sword Gate's reputation spread far and wide, attracting many more cultivators and mortals seeking to become disciples.

Fortunately, with a larger pool of candidates, they could still find a few sword Dao geniuses.
"Senior Brother Huo Long."
At this moment, outside the Essence Energy Lake, a stream of light flew by, and it was Zhou Shidi.
He held a jade slip in his hand, his face filled with uncertainty.
Whoosh!
A water dragon appeared, wrapping around his body, and when it reappeared, he was already inside the underwater mansion at the bottom of the lake.
This underwater mansion was naturally a place with abundant Essence Energy on Dark Sky Island.
Unfortunately, the water vapor was too heavy, and Senior Brother Huo Long had never been fond of it.
But the Essence Energy was indeed excellent, so he could only bear with it.
Senior Brother Huo Long looked at Zhou Shidi, "What happened?"
After obtaining the Fourth Rank Spirit Vein, he had been wholeheartedly cultivating, almost oblivious to the outside world.
"It's Senior Uncle Mingkun... He... He actually took over the Limitless Hall!"
Zhou Shidi handed over a jade slip.
S
He subconsciously touched his head, realizing that he hadn't been beheaded by a flying sword, and immediately divided a strand of his Divine Perception to browse through the jade slip.
"What? Senior Uncle Mingkun actually killed Old Devil Meng?"
Senior Brother Huo Long was first startled, then heaved a sigh of relief, and glared at Zhou Shidi, "Shidi, you should have explained things more clearly. You almost scared me to death... It's clearly that Senior Uncle Mingkun took over Sinless Island, renamed it Death Island, and also took in some members of the Limitless Hall. How did it become taking over? It's more like an annexation..."
"The meaning is the same." Zhou Shidi said.
S
Senior Brother Huo Long put down the jade slip and was still amazed, "But it's still unbelievable... Senior Uncle Mingkun just advanced to the Divine Transformation stage. Even with assistance, killing Old Devil Meng is still shocking..."
"
Senior Brother Huo Long made a judgment, "We must immediately go to support Senior Uncle. We can't let his subordinates be a bunch of demon brats; otherwise, after a long time, it will truly become difficult to say..."
...
In the inner sea, on a desolate island.
A sword light suddenly rose, carrying a chilling killing intent.
"Haha... Late-stage Primordial Spirit, finally achieved."
Tai Bai Sword Immortal flew out from his mansion, and a sword light shot straight into the sky, tearing through numerous clouds.
At this moment, he felt extremely proud.
B
Moreover, when Fang Xing suddenly advanced to the late-stage Primordial Spirit, he felt a hint of jealousy in his heart.
They were both from the Five Veins, and he was the sole heir of his lineage, with the best resources from the Kill Sword lineage. Why was his cultivation surpassed? Tai Bai Sword Immortal had already cultivated to the peak of the mid-stage Primordial Spirit and was qualified to break through to the late-stage Primordial Spirit. Otherwise, he wouldn't have considered using unorthodox methods like the Nine Child-Mother Divine Infancy Refining Sword Technique to assist in his breakthrough at the beginning.
But later, he was secretly harmed, and his Essence Energy was severely damaged.
T
"Indeed... Previously, I was too obsessed. Taking a step back opens up new horizons."
A
Such an opportunity was hard to come by, so he naturally went into seclusion until he broke through to the late-stage Primordial Spirit before coming out.
'Now, my True Self has reached the late-stage Primordial Spirit, while the Dark Kui True Self had just barely broken through to the mid-stage Primordial Spirit not long ago. Only the second Primordial Spirit is at the late-stage Primordial Spirit cultivation... I have the advantage over him.'
Tai Bai Sword Immortal was filled with ambition and prepared to inquire about the recent situation on Dark Kui Island.
Soon after,
In a teahouse,
"What did you say? The Dark Kui Island Master killed the Dark Cloud Pavilion Lord and then advanced to the Divine Transformation stage?"
Tai Bai Sword Immortal looked at the intelligence broker in front of him, feeling a sense of unreality.
Could it be that I've been in seclusion for not just a few years, but several decades or even centuries?
"Not only that, but the Dark Kun Venerable has occupied Sinless Island and renamed it 'Death God Island'... Now, the remaining lineage of the Limitless Hall has all submitted to him, and the sacred grounds of the Inner Sea will change once more."
The one conveying this information was a female cultivator wearing a pink skirt, and her face was also filled with emotion.
The three great sacred grounds had ruled over the Vast Sea Immortal World for countless tens of thousands of years, but in recent millennia, two of them had fallen in succession, which was truly hard to accept.
"Killing a late-stage Divine Transformation cultivator..."
After leaving the teahouse, Tai Bai Sword Immortal still felt a bit dizzy: "How is this possible? I'm only at the late-stage Primordial Spirit..."
...
On the island now renamed Death God Island.
In a quiet room.
The walls were covered with intricate patterns of various runes forming restrictions, densely packed and shimmering with golden light, like blood vessels merging into the black lotus beneath the constellation.
Sitting cross-legged on the black lotus, he felt his essence spirit becoming more attuned with the universe, continuously drawing in universal essence energy, and then refining the void.
After several hours, he felt his magical energy improve by a negligible amount, and only then did Fang Xing slowly stop cultivating.
He cast a spell on the wall, causing countless restrictions to flash, and the black lotus slowly closed.
Then, the dense spiritual energy that had seemed to permeate the room immediately dropped significantly.
"As expected of sixth-stage spiritual energy... Even if it can only supply a few people, and it needs to be sealed most of the time, it's still quite good."
Fang Xing took a look around and was quite satisfied.
Since the Great Void Realm was a lower realm, sixth-stage spirit veins would continuously overflow. Aside from the core areas, most regions could only maintain third or fourth-stage spiritual energy, which was already good.
Even for low-level disciples, third-stage spiritual energy was sufficient.
Even the most powerful 'Heavenly Vein' in the Ethereal Immortal Palace probably provided only fifth-stage spiritual energy, and only the caves of a few Divine Transformation Venerables had sixth-stage spiritual energy.
This was already the best in the lower realm, and it was impossible to go higher.
Sinless Island was the same. Although this spirit vein was a sea vein with abundant earth energy, the Limitless Hall was also very frugal.
"Just like the Void Suppression Effect after shattering the void... In the lower realm, where spiritual energy is scarce, if the spirit vein is too high-level, it will continuously overflow... It needs to be constantly consolidated and sealed with array power..."
"This is also why there are only three great sacred grounds..."
Fang Xing felt that the Limitless Hall was a worthwhile acquisition.
It wasn't just because Meng Old Devil's storage bag was filled with top-grade spirit stones, various spirit treasures, secret treasures, and a large number of cultivation methods and secret techniques.
It was more about understanding this world!
'After refining the void, there are still many cultivation realms...'
'Even outside the Spirit World, there are numerous interfaces equivalent to the Spirit World, such as the Demon World and the Brahma World...'
'Immortal cultivators, upon breaking through Divine Transformation, have a natural advantage in comprehending the laws.'
'Even after refining the void, there are benefits to comprehending specific great paths...'
'Therefore, one cannot stop cultivating.'
Just as Fang Xing was pondering, a sound transmission talisman flew in.
With a sweep of his spiritual sense, he knew it was from Heavenly Kite True Lord, and it was about an extremely important matter.
"Have these two finally dared to show themselves?"
Fang Xing smiled and casually crushed the sound transmission talisman in his hand, turning it to ashes.
Then, the Wuji Demon Palace appeared in his hand, and his entire body transformed into a sword light, arriving in the sea several hundred li away.
Splash!
There was a pitch-black reef here, like a fish rising from the sea, enduring the pounding of the raging waves.
"Come out."
He stood on the reef, gazing into the distance.
In the void, various runes flashed, and then a figure appeared—it was Gu Zunzhe.
"The Dark Kun Venerable has quite the method..."
Gu Zunzhe's face carried a wry smile: "He actually killed Meng Old Devil and subdued the Limitless Hall..."
"Hehe, didn't I already tell you all this before?"
Fang Xing smiled: "Now, I've also saved countless lives for the Ethereal Immortal Palace..."
If he had just stood by and done nothing, the Ethereal Immortal Palace would have surely been besieged by Meng Old Devil, putting them at a disadvantage, and who knows how many people would have died.
"Not bad, thank you, fellow Daoist."
Gu Zunzhe solemnly bowed: "This is the Ethereal Immortal Palace's gift!"
He presented a jade page to Fang Xing.
Fang Xing took it and saw that the first item was 'One Six-Eyed Heavenly Demon Pearl Inner Core'...
"The Six-Eyed Heavenly Demon Pearl is a barbaric variant, and this one has already reached the fifth stage. After slightly refining its inner core, it can be used as a good material for us to entrust our essence spirits or even cultivate a second essence spirit..."
Gu Zunzhe's face was filled with a smile.
The subsequent items were also rare treasures of the fifth stage.
Fang Xing, however, scoffed, thinking of his second essence spirit.
The Myriad Phenomena Sect was only a Primordial Spirit sect, and no matter how profound their secret techniques were, they couldn't possibly have imagined the Divine Transformation stage.
It could be said that the second essence spirit was already dispensable.
However, as the first major force in the demonic path, the Limitless Hall had gathered countless wondrous techniques and secret arts, including methods for cultivating a second essence spirit.
Two chapters today.
