Chapter 403: Map
"Two swords, and two Transcendent cultivators slain?"
Venerable Qian and Venerable Li exchanged a glance, both equally terrified.
This wasn't even a Transcendent Venerable, but a feat only a Numinous Transformation powerhouse could achieve! However, regardless of which Numinous Transformation powerhouse it was, they would be rejected by the Primordial Universe.
Even if they could use secret methods to seal their cultivation and forcibly stay, they could only delay for a short time before being forced to ascend.
But this person was clearly different! He seemed to be a genuine Initial Stage Transcendent cultivator.
The intimidation this brought was even more terrifying! Fang Xing remained unaware, waving his sleeves to cast two sets of incantations, and levitated several items.
Aside from Venerable Sun's storage bag, there were also the remains of a Fifth Stage Dragon, its Demon Core, and the Abyss Basin!
"This Blazing Sun Palace has quite a collection of good things..."
Fang Xing sighed, but then felt it was normal.
The size of the Bright Sun Cultivation Realm could rival the Vast Sea Cultivation Realm, and the three major Holy Lands of the Vast Sea Cultivation Realm combined had several Sixth Stage treasures.
It was normal for the Abyss Basin to be a Sixth Stage treasure.
His consciousness slightly entered it, and he saw a vast army of demons like mountains and seas.
Most of them were severely wounded, except for a yellow and a white Dragon, whose scales were shattered, and blood dyed the sea, but they were still active, lowering their heads in submission.
"With an extra fish tank, I can raise two little dragons. Quite a leisurely hobby."
Fang Xing nodded.
Venerable Qian and Venerable Li exchanged a glance, feeling that their sect's treasures were definitely not coming back.
Even so, they had to force a smile.
Venerable Li bowed gracefully: "This one is Li Qingyu. Thank you, fellow Daoist, for saving my life... If you have any instructions, our Blazing Sun Palace will do our best to fulfill them."
Cultivators are good at this, they're not rigid, and they understand the times.
Since ancient times, those who understand the times are heroes!
"No need to thank me yet, after all... Beggar Immortal Zhenjun died by my sword."
Fang Xing smiled slyly and spoke a sentence that made the two Transcendent cultivators' faces change.
"So Elder Hua offended you, he truly deserved to die... Our Blazing Sun Palace is willing to compensate."
Venerable Qian's smile froze, and he then forced himself to say: "Good, very good!"
Fang Xing clapped and laughed: "Then compensate me with the Bright Sun Cultivation Realm and the entire Blazing Sun Palace. Oh, and you two, if you want to live, release your Essence Spirits and let me plant a seal, or you'll die too!"
Upon hearing this, Venerable Li and Venerable Qian's expressions changed, both feeling like they were driving out a wolf through the front door, only to let a tiger in through the back.
"Fellow Daoist, aren't you being too unreasonable?"
Venerable Li summoned a silver talisman that shimmered with silver light, and the Dao Soldiers array reformed, exuding a solemn and awe-inspiring aura that suppressed the surroundings.
"Oh? You should be used to this, right?"
Fang Xing's face showed a fitting confusion: "You've planted seals on those with superior Spirit Roots in your territories to use as Dao Soldiers... Now it's your turn, it's just the cycle of heaven, why make such a fuss and act like a spoiled girl, only inviting ridicule."
He casually swung the Rusty Sword, and with a slash—
Whoosh!
One Sword Shatters Ten Thousand Techniques!
The void shattered, intertwining with the silver talisman, and the void within a hundred li instantly turned into a chaotic mess.
Within the chaos, a thread of crimson Sword Aura formed.
It carried the intent to shatter all techniques, sweeping across Venerable Li's body and Essence Spirit...
Boom!
The Dao Soldiers array exploded, and those with Bloodline Nascent Souls changed their expressions, then a Sword Mark appeared on their Golden Cores and Nascent Souls, instantly ending their lives.
The remaining Dao Soldiers spat out a mouthful of essence blood, their faces pale.
"Either submit and become a dog, or face the flying sword's beheading!"
Fang Xing looked at the last remaining Transcendent Venerable of Blazing Sun Palace: "What's your choice?"
Venerable Qian's face was full of helplessness, and he eventually bowed: "Paying respects to the master..."
...
Several days later.
Jade Fairy had inspected the Blazing Sun Palace's assets and returned with a trace of excitement on her face.
Blazing Sun Palace monopolized an entire Immortal World and controlled all Spirit Vein resources, making its assets several times greater than Ethereal Immortal Palace's.
"Young Master..."
She stood by Fang Xing's side, trying to be useful: "I've inspected all the Fifth Stage Spirit Herb Gardens, and the useful Fifth Stage Spirit Herbs have been sealed..."
"Venerable Qian has been planted with a seal, and he's cooperating... The main sect's assets have been counted, and there are..."
Fang Xing waved his hand: "No need for numbers. Just handle it as you see fit..."
The seal he planted in Venerable Qian's Essence Spirit was something even a Numinous Transformation powerhouse couldn't remove.
Venerable Qian naturally had no choice but to accept his fate, and Fang Xing could take whatever he wanted from Blazing Sun Palace.
It was like measuring Blazing Sun Palace's assets to win Fang Xing's favor.
Fang Xing counted, and he already had many Sixth Stage treasures, so he didn't care about those Spirit Stones.
Aside from the Fifth Stage cultivation resources that he had to inspect personally, the rest could be managed by Jade Fairy.
Without further ado, he arrived at the highest point of Blazing Sun Palace.
The towering cliffs surrounded him on all sides, with fierce winds and numerous restrictions.
Venerable Qian led the way, gazing at the glimmering restrictions, his heart filled with regret.
If the three Divine Transformation Venerables had not succumbed to internal strife after the death of Sage Beggar Venerable, but instead worked together, relying on the Sixth Stage Formation 'Nine Dragons Embrace Sun Array', the numerous Sixth Stage treasures, talismans, and the heritage left by their ancestors, they might have been able to contend with Fang Xing.
Of course, by now, it was all too late.
What he didn't know was that even in this situation, Fang Xing could easily break free.
After all... no one could have imagined that he could soul-search the Soul-Searching Beggar Venerable!
Even a Numinous Transformation powerhouse would find it challenging to soul-search the Essence Spirit of a Divine Transformation Cultivator.
It could only be said that the Great Sun Buddha Spell was too shameless.
Fang Xing's favorite thing was using high-tech from other worlds to oppress the locals.
The Great Sun Buddha Spell and the Ten Thousand Minds Secret Art were both like this.
The distinct style of restrictions completely eliminated any possibility of Venerable Qian seeking help from outsiders or betraying them.
Even with guidance from an Upper Realm powerhouse, it might not be possible to break them!
This was Fang Xing's confidence!
He arrived at the peak and saw a solitary wooden shrine standing alone.
"This is our ancestral hall..."
Venerable Qian introduced, "Inside the ancestral hall, there are three 'Heaven Prayer Incense'... Combined with the sect's Sixth Stage Grand Formation and the Void Node above, although it's too dangerous to accommodate cultivators crossing over to the Spirit Realm, it's still sufficient to convey some messages. The orders Elder Hua received from the Upper Realm came from here..."
Fang Xing nodded, and not only that, he also knew that making Heaven Prayer Incense was extremely troublesome, as many of the materials had gone extinct. He could say that the Blazing Sun Palace's chances of actively contacting the Upper Realm were down to just three more times.
Furthermore, after establishing contact with the Heaven Prayer Incense, if Upper Realm cultivators were willing to pay a huge price, it wouldn't be impossible to teleport some items down.
Of course, the higher the rank, the greater the consumption.
And the consumption for teleporting a cultivator down was even more terrifying.
Basically, the resources consumed by a Numinous Transformation Novice descending to the lower realm could even create a Core Fusion Cultivator! And there was still a chance of failure!
It wasn't something a true major power in the Spirit Realm could afford!
'Of course, now that the immortal treasures have appeared in the immortal mansion, their value far exceeds Core Fusion, so it's possible that a powerhouse from the Upper Realm will descend.'
Fang Xing understood this clearly, but he wasn't afraid at all.
These outsiders from other realms were the most oppressed by the Primordial Universe, and regardless of their cultivation level, they would be suppressed to the Numinous Transformation stage not long after descending to the lower realm.
Precisely because of this, the major powers would choose Numinous Transformation Novices—the least costly option.
Facing such a descended powerhouse, even Fang Xing's cultivation clone had the strength to fight.
As for his main body?
That would be bullying.
'My main body now always has the Death God Codename with me, and I also have the comprehension of the Destiny Principle and the Inferno Eighteen Spears... All of which are powerful in the Ten Realms.'
'Converting it, it's equivalent to at least a Numinous Transformation Advanced Cultivator.'
'And because my cultivation is only at the Divine Transformation stage, and the mecha is an inanimate object, the suppression I receive is minimal...'
'A Numinous Transformation Advanced Cultivator fighting a Numinous Transformation Novice, and even a Numinous Transformation Novice in a poor state... Haha, should I intentionally attract more cultivators to come down and bring me treasures?'
Fang Xing's heart stirred, and he came up with several schemes to bait them.
As they pondered, the three of them entered the ancient-style ancestral hall.
Venerable Qian bowed towards the plaque and recited a few incantations, extending his right hand.
Amidst the silver glow, his right hand seemed to reach into a void, and he took out an ancient scroll and a wooden box, presenting them to Fang Xing with respect, "Master, all three Heaven Prayer Incense are here, along with a 'Primordial Universe Map'... It was bestowed by an Upper Realm ancestor."
Fang Xing opened the wooden box and saw three emerald-green incense sticks lined up, exuding a hint of ancient charm.
He nodded in approval, "Not bad, not bad... You're sensible, not activating the 'Nine Heavens, Nine Earths, Nine Primordial Demon-Slaying Blood Curse' in the shrine... And you didn't hide anything."
Hearing this, Venerable Qian couldn't help but break into a cold sweat, "Master, I dare not..."
He had indeed harbored some thoughts, but upon realizing that he couldn't find any clues about the restrictions in his Essence Spirit, he completely abandoned the idea.
And now it seemed like a lucky escape! This Divine Transformation Sword Venerable seemed to be very familiar with various mechanisms and restrictions that only Divine Transformation Venerables in the Blazing Sun Palace would know about.
If he had dared to take action, the only possible outcome would have been to send himself away!
In fact, that was precisely the case.
The 'Nine Heavens, Nine Earths, Nine Primordial Demon-Slaying Blood Curse' had previously been maintained by Sage Beggar Venerable himself, but Fang Xing had already dismantled its critical nodes.
Today, he used it to test Venerable Qian, as well as to warn him.
Fang Xing had a clear understanding of the Blazing Sun Palace's assets, and it was impossible for him to be deceived.
If Jade Fairy tried to take advantage of the situation, there would be some fun to watch.
However, at this moment, he didn't bother with other matters and opened the 'Primordial Universe Map'! The entire Primordial Universe unfolded before Fang Xing.
Jade Fairy curiously leaned over to take a look and couldn't help but gasp, "So vast..."
