Chapter 417: The Azure Flower Realm
Chapter 417: The Azure Flower Realm
【The Azure Flower Realm is in conflict with the 'Azure Emperor Palace's' Shooting Breath Division, one of its eight divisions. The Seven Kill Demon Palace requires disciples to provide support...】
Fang Xing's gaze swept across the jade book, and below the task, there was an introduction to the Azure Flower Realm:
【The Azure Flower Realm is a small world that was possibly formed after the fall of a renegade great power from the Azure Emperor Palace. One of its entrances is located within the territory of the Seven Kill Demon Palace...】
【These small worlds often contain treasures and legacies, but they also have specific restrictions.】
【To enter the Azure Flower Realm, one's cultivation must not exceed the seventh level of the Mortal Realm...】
【Inner Sect Disciples of the Seven Kill Demon Palace and above can apply to explore, and any obtained legacies will belong to them... By killing the Shooting Breath Division's demons, strength will be rewarded with contribution points...】
"A legacy secret realm with a restriction on the Ethereal Body Realm and below?"
Fang Xing's eyes lit up.
When encountering such an opportunity, he naturally wanted to give it a try.
It was only natural that this kind of legacy secret realm had cultivation requirements.
In fact, the Azure Origin Universe was renowned for its abundance of treasures and legacies... Just among the famous and well-known ones, there were ten great treasures, and obtaining any one of them would bring hope of reaching the Heavenly Immortal Realm, or even the Chaos Realm.
Once the clues to these treasures emerged, even the Seven Kill Daoists would go crazy.
The Azure Flower Realm could only be considered a minor treasure, and Heavenly Immortal Realm experts wouldn't deign to get involved. Instead, they would leave it to their disciples as a test.
If a Heavenly Immortal Realm expert were to intervene, they might indeed be able to claim the entire small realm. However, the more likely outcome would be the destruction of the small realm, leaving both sides battered and bruised.
Even if the legacy were destroyed, they wouldn't willingly hand it over! This had happened numerous times in the history of the Azure Origin Universe.
As for the cultivation restrictions, it was only to be expected!
"This is because the Ethereal Body is irreversible... And once the Ethereal Body is determined, the path is largely set... For example, if one cultivates the Seven Kill Spirit Art to achieve the Seven Kill Ethereal Body, then in the future, they will definitely follow the Slaughter Great Path or the Laws of Slaughter, Death, and Annihilation... The resulting boost is already comparable to, or even surpasses, their original talent."
"In other words, it's easier to switch cultivation methods and legacies before reaching the Ethereal Body Realm... After reaching the Ethereal Body Realm, there are countless great powers in this world, and there are definitely ways to do so, but it's a matter of cost-effectiveness... Why bother paying a heavy price to transform the nature of the Ethereal Body? Unless it's an incredibly perfect match, a true genius..."
Fang Xing knew his own situation.
He lacked a legacy! Especially one with a special Ethereal Body construction method!
Ideally, it would be the 'Heaven-Earth Great Path Ethereal Body Technique' of the Heaven-Earth Great Path.
If not, a 'Void Ethereal Body Technique' would also be quite good.
As for the 'Fire Ethereal Body Technique', 'Fire Spirit Ethereal Body Technique', or 'Fire Virtue Ethereal Body Technique'... they could only be considered backup options.
...
After accepting the task, Song Zhong held his spear and sword, with a black dragon slung over his shoulder, and flew out of the Seven Kill Demon Palace.
After flying a million li in one breath, he immediately felt a sense of freedom and vastness, as if the sky was his limit.
It wasn't Song Zhong who felt this way, but Fang Xing!
【The Azure Emperor Palace is a demon clan, with a Chaos Realm great power, and its Shooting Breath Division is able to rival the Seven Kill Demon Palace...】
Of course, although the Seven Kill Demon Palace only had one Heavenly Immortal Realm expert, the Original Demon Sect was backing them.
The Original Demon Sect was a major demon sect in the Azure Origin Universe, also with a Chaos Realm great power leading it.
Moreover, Chaos Realm and Heavenly Immortal Realm experts never bothered themselves with such trivial matters.
The Seven Kill Demon Palace and the Shooting Breath Division used the Azure Flower Realm as a battlefield to temper their disciples.
Both humans and demons fought fiercely, resulting in countless casualties.
However, for Fang Xing, the fact that the Azure Emperor Palace was a demon clan was a good thing.
At least there was no promotion ceiling, and the prospects for development far exceeded those of the Seven Kill Demon Palace.
Here, he could only be a small beast, but in the Azure Emperor Palace, he might be able to become a prince or a royal scion.
In the demon clan, strength was revered, and those below the seventh level of the Mortal Realm were considered insignificant small demons. Only those at the seventh level and above were considered 'Great Demons'!
Ethereal Body Realm demons were Demon Kings!
Heaven Demon Realm demons were known as Demon Emperors!
Only Chaos Realm great powers could call themselves 'Emperor-level' or 'Demon Emperors'!
The titles of 'Prince' and 'Royal Scion' were reserved for those with the potential to reach the Heavenly Immortal Realm or even the Chaos Realm.
【My understanding of the Laws is decent, but my cultivation base is merely at the Mortal Realm level, formed through my body's innate respiration. It's barely passable... If I want to compete for a 'Prince' position, it will be a bit difficult.】
【However, if I can obtain an excellent legacy and enhance my cultivation base to the top-grade, I can immediately soar like a dragon!】
A glint of ambition flashed in Fang Xing's eyes.
Just then, his expression changed, and Song Zhong immediately threw the Crimson Plume Spear.
The spear shot out like a dragon, striking a point in the void.
Intense flames shook, scorching everything within a hundred li.
A flash of light appeared in the void, revealing a giant hand!
This hand manipulated the Heaven and Earth's energy, turning it into a tide, and it was clearly an Ethereal Body Realm expert!
The hand was a deep yellow color, and its surface was covered in intricate patterns, formed by countless Earth attribute rule power.
This indicated that the Earth Doctrine insight of this Ethereal Body Realm cultivator had already reached the fourth stage – the realm of the Law Body!
Using the power of rules to condense into a Dao Body!
The total amount of cultivation base of an Ethereal Body Realm cultivator was already ten times or even a hundred times that of the Mortal Realm, and with the overwhelming insight into the Laws, it was a thousand times more powerful!
This person's attack represented a complete disregard for Song Zhong's life, as if a lion was toying with a rabbit, using all its strength!
Facing such an opponent, Song Zhong had no choice but to fight with all his might!
He roared and unsheathed his sword, and the Heart Flame Battle Saber's power descended, summoning a flame world!
With the might of this Primordial Soul Treasure, Song Zhong managed to close the gap slightly, but he was still facing an enemy ten times stronger than him!
Despite the numerous volcanoes, fire streams, and fire spirits, they were all instantly reduced to ashes under the giant hand.
But in the instant of blocking, Fang Xing had already roared, revealing his true form, a towering figure over twenty meters tall.
Song Zhong stood on the back of the black dragon, charging towards the earth-yellow giant hand that had extinguished the Flame World.
With a single slap, the giant hand covered all directions, giving an overwhelming feeling of being unable to escape.
Since there was no way to dodge, the only option was to break through head-on!
Song Zhong held a long saber, his hair standing on end with fury, ready to fight to the death.
But in the next instant!
Whoosh!
A flash of white light.
He and the black dragon beneath him instantly disappeared.
When they reappeared, they were already dozens of miles behind the giant hand.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Several flashes of silver light, and the man and dragon vanished without a trace.
"Sky Piercing Flash?"
In the void, a strand of earth-yellow Essence Spirit Power descended, transforming into a yellow-robed man with his head covered and his tail exposed. "A Spirit Companion that can use Sky Piercing Flash... is a reliable life-saving companion."
The principle of Sky Piercing Flash was similar to the Teleportation Technique of the Ethereal Body, requiring only the second stage of insight into the Void Path to learn.
Of course, it was only a possibility.
And unlike the Teleportation Technique, while Sky Piercing Flash also relied on teleportation through the Great Void, it lacked the incredibly long distances of the Blink Layer, but it excelled in its simplicity and allowed one to bring their physical body!
Not only could it bring the physical body, but it could even bring others!
Since the Void Path was a higher-level principle, it was extremely difficult to comprehend.
A Spirit Companion that could bring its master to use Sky Piercing Flash could fetch an absolute high price, and even a high-level master of the Essence Spirit Realm at the sixth or seventh level might be willing to spend all their wealth for it!
The yellow-robed man had just seen this, so he gave up the idea of pursuing them.
He knew he couldn't catch up.
With a sigh, the yellow-robed man took out a token and said, "Mission failed..."
...
"To be attacked as soon as I step out..."
"So brazen, it must be those assassin organizations..."
"I wonder who has a grudge with Song Zhong, to be so impatient..."
From tens of thousands of miles away, Fang Xing stood on top of Song Zhong's head, and a flash of contemplation passed through his vertical pupils.
Fortunately, although some things were exposed this time, it wasn't too much.
He still needed to go to the Azure Flower Realm to see if the person behind the scenes would make another move.
A few days later.
Azure Flower Realm, Entrance.
A strange black palace hovered in mid-air, with many Seven Kill Demon Palace disciples patrolling outside.
Suddenly.
A streak of black light flew by.
"Halt!"
Several Mortal Realm Eighth Level outer sect disciples saw the black light and immediately became vigilant.
"I am an inner sect disciple, Song Zhong, here to complete a task."
Upon arriving here, Song Zhong finally relaxed.
As the frontline of the Seven Kill Demon Palace, there were definitely powerful Essence Spirit Realm cultivators guarding outside the small realm.
Even if that Essence Spirit Realm assassin came again, he wouldn't be afraid.
After loudly declaring his identity, Song Zhong immediately threw his identity token to them.
"So it's Senior Brother Song."
After checking, the two patrolling disciples immediately smiled and said, "Senior Brother Song, are you heading directly to the Azure Flower Realm, or are you going to pay respects to the guarding elder?"
"Let's go directly to the Azure Flower Realm."
Song Zhong followed a disciple to a giant palace.
In the center of the palace, there was actually a new moon-shaped white arc of light in the void.
Through the arc of light, one could vaguely see a landscape of clear mountains and flowing waters.
"The entrance to the Azure Flower Realm is just a spatial crack..."
Fang Xing muttered to himself, but Song Zhong asked, "Is this the entrance to the small realm? How did the Azure Emperor Palace Shooting Breath Division enter?"
"According to speculation, the Shooting Breath Division should have found another entrance through a spatial crack..."
A plump outer sect disciple eagerly answered, "Right now, this small realm is extremely lively, considered a place for us Mortal Realm disciples to make a name for ourselves... At every moment, there are large numbers of disciples fighting to the death... Strictly speaking, our Seven Kill Demon Palace is at a disadvantage."
"Then... what about the inheritance?"
Song Zhong asked the most critical question for Fang Xing.
"It hasn't appeared yet... Although occasionally, a few senior brothers have obtained some treasures, they are all minor ones."
The outer sect disciple replied, "The real good stuff is probably still deep within the small realm..."
"Hmm, it seems that this time, our human race has fallen behind."
Song Zhong was well aware that as the founder of the secret realm, the Heaven Immortal Realm demon race would definitely favor their own kind.
His chances of obtaining the fundamental inheritance were extremely slim.
However, for Fang Xing, it was a completely different story...
