Chapter 585: Loss and Grief
Chapter 585: Loss and Grief
Several days later.
Dolong Slope.
Fang Xing received news of the Yin Clan's annihilation, but he didn't feel any sense of intimidation.
In fact, he had long transformed into an owl, silently observing the Fei Clan's campaign against the Yin Clan.
He was somewhat surprised that Fei Shentong had chosen to cultivate the Origami Art.
To still be so determined after becoming the family patriarch, he's a ruthless one! But in terms of combat strength... it's just average.
If he were to disregard his life, he might be able to surround and kill a Level 9 Qi Perception cultivator, but against the Daoji Tianqian barrier, he would still be powerless.
However, the advanced Origami Art that the Fei Clan sent later left him speechless:
"Although this is a reward for helping the Xu Clan..."
"But..."
He gently flipped through a pure white ancient book in front of him.
This ancient book had been read countless times, yet it remained as pristine as new, clearly made from blood paper.
The content within was all-encompassing, containing various advanced origami techniques. It was many times more profound than the inheritance Fang Xing had obtained before.
"The Paper Armor Technique can be worn by oneself or equipped to paper figures and paper beasts to enhance defense!"
"The Paper Figure Art creates paper figures using paper and bamboo strips, and their strength is determined by the lifespan sacrificed... but even the highest level can hardly surpass a major realm."
"The Paper Palanquin Technique requires at least four paper figures to form a battle formation, and it can also protect the paper master..."
"The Paper Substitute allows for the creation of a paper figure substitute, which can negate a fatal attack or curse once."
"The Fei Clan, as a Daoji family, has indeed collected such advanced origami techniques..."
Fang Xing sighed, "Aside from the legendary 'Mirage Paper House Heaven', they've almost gathered them all..."
The 'Mirage Paper House Heaven' was the unspoken secret of the Xue Ying Clan's origami lineage, a wondrous method that formed its own realm. Even Yin Shen Zhenren would find it difficult to cultivate this art.
He never had high hopes, so having these techniques was already good enough.
Moreover, Fang Xing knew that the Xue Ying Clan's truly powerful origami techniques were not these lethal combat arts.
Young cultivators like to compete and strive for dominance, so they exhaust themselves cultivating powerful techniques.
However, mature cultivators value their lifespans and strive to prolong their lives. There is a similar tradition within the Xue Ying Clan's origami lineage, otherwise, even Daoji cultivators would struggle to live past a hundred years! For example, the 'Blood Paper Art' is a relatively successful technique that allows one to use others' lifespans to replace their own lifespan consumption.
It's a pity that even with this method, when cultivating origami techniques, the practitioner must still consume their own lifespan, just less than usual, or the origami lineage would have lived even longer.
"This is how the Xue Ying Clan does it... What about me?"
Fang Xing let out a cold laugh, his fingers rhythmically tapping the book in his hand.
He had always been interested in origami techniques, which was why he cultivated the Wan Quan Hand.
Moreover, with his current proficiency in the Wan Quan Hand, crafting ordinary paper figures had become a hundred percent success rate, almost never failing.
This saved a lot of his lifespan.
Even so, he didn't plan to delve too deeply into it, only occasionally trying his hand at it to make the outside world believe that he was obsessed with various profound techniques and couldn't extricate himself...
...
Time passed like flowing water.
After the Xu Clan and Yin Clan were annihilated, the Qingli Swamp strangely became quiet.
The Fei Clan almost frantically retracted, even giving up the profits from Yunlai Market to another Daoji family in Qingmu Mountain, the Pan Clan.
The Pan Clan had three Daoji cultivators and was at its peak. After receiving the benefits, they readily supported the Fei Clan, challenging the Xie Clan in Shanyin. The Xie Clan also fought back, creating a back-and-forth struggle.
The Xie Clan's plot to cultivate a Daoji corpse in Qingli Swamp was exposed early on by Fei Shentong to Qingmu Mountain. It was unknown how Qingmu Mountain dealt with the Gua Shu Sect, but at least the Xie Clan stopped causing trouble.
After the external environment stabilized, the Fei Clan focused on developing Qingli Swamp and accumulating profits.
Due to Fei Shentong's fairness and the benefits from March Pond, Qingfeng Ridge, and Graveyard Ground... the Fei Clan produced several Post-Qi Sensing Realm cultivators in succession, barely pulling themselves out of their previous predicament, and no longer needed Dolong Slope's support.
In the blink of an eye, over a decade passed.
Dolong Slope.
Dong Peak.
Due to the growth of the Lv Clan's population and the expansion of the original buildings, the area exuded a somewhat grand and luxurious atmosphere.
Inside the Lv Clan's mansion, an atmosphere of joy filled the air.
Many of the Lv Clan's elders gathered in front of a secret chamber.
Boom!
Not long after, the secret chamber's door burst open, and Lv Feng walked out, surrounded by layers of heavy mountain-like Sha Qi, yet also hazy like thin mist.
"Pay respects to the family patriarch, congratulations on breaking through to Level 7 Qi Perception!"
The Lv Clan elders were overjoyed.
This was the Post-Qi Sensing Realm! A realm that even the ancient ancestors hadn't reached!
As soon as Lv Feng broke through, he immediately surpassed Tieluo Cultivator, becoming the top cultivator of Dong Peak!
This was a great advantage for the Lv Clan.
Over the past decade, although Tieluo Cultivator and Hu Liuniang had also started cultivating disciples to strengthen their foundations, they were always one step behind...
The Lv Clan had become too powerful, and the Floating Cloud Five Friends were gradually forgotten.
Moreover, since most of the guards at Greenwater Swamp were from the Lv Clan, the profits gradually shifted towards them, which couldn't be helped.
However...
Dolong Slope was not just Dong Peak; there was also West Hill!
The Lv Clan elders exchanged glances, each feeling secretly proud, thinking to themselves:
'That person on West Hill, who is said to be obsessed with origami techniques and bamboo cultivation... is still at Level 7 Qi Perception. If not for the fear of the island-guarding Black Snake, our Lv Clan would be the top power in Dolong Slope...'
"Please rise, everyone!"
Lv Feng slightly lifted his hands, a hint of satisfaction on his face.
His talent was considered the best in the Lv Clan, but in his youth, he indulged in emotions and neglected his cultivation.
- Later, he felt ashamed and then courageous" option. The key was the prosperity of the Lv Clan, which, after acquiring spell money, purchased a large number of cultivation resources, finally allowing him to break through the seven major hurdles of Qi Perception before the age of thirty. There was even a glimmer of hope for breaking through to the ninth level of Qi Perception before his JiZi Limit.
- 'Maybe... I might even reach the Daoji Realm in the future?'
Lv Feng's heart warmed, and he subconsciously looked towards the West Hill: 'The experience of breaking through to the Daoji Realm, which the Fei Clan compensated, is all with Uncle Fang... I'll have to get it back in the future. After all, this belongs to all of us at Dolong Slope!'
Even though Lv Feng himself was reluctant to be an enemy of Fang Xing, the entire Lv Clan had invested too much in him, binding him with familial ties and interests.
The will and interests of the entire Lv Clan were focused on occupying the entire Dolong Slope and even the Lverwater Swamp, unaffected by individual emotions.
Just as Lv Feng and the Lv Clan members were holding a banquet, a Lv Clan member rushed into the Hall of Flowers: "Clan Leader, elders... Something terrible has happened!"
"On such a joyous day, how dare you speak so carelessly? You deserve a slap!"
One of the elders frowned in displeasure.
"Yes, I spoke without thinking."
The Lv Clan member was startled, then continued, "But something big has indeed happened."
(A 169-character secret message is sent.)
"Speak."
Lv Feng, dressed in a brocade robe and sporting two whiskers, looked very dignified.
"It's... Tieluo Cultivator has just passed away."
The Lv Clan member reported.
"Uncle Tieluo..."
Lv Feng was stunned, then sighed, "Yes... After his last severe injury, his health has never been the same, let alone... it's been so many years."
Tieluo Cultivator was of the same generation as Old Man Lv.
Although younger than Old Man Lv, he was the second oldest among the Floating Cloud Five Friends and had suffered a fundamental injury.
His passing now was not unexpected.
Lv Feng stood up, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's cancel the banquet and notify Uncle Fang on the West Hill, as well as Song and Hu."
...
West Hill.
The ten-thousand-acre bamboo sea resembled a stretch of green water, with waves rippling in the wind.
"Finally, I've reached the ten-thousand-acre..."
Fang Xing watched as one of his paper figures diligently planted trees and watered them, feeling extremely satisfied.
After learning the art of creating paper figures, he was freed from arduous labor.
He didn't even need to cultivate daily; with the help of the Tree Herder talent, he could constantly sense his experience rising.
It was the epitome of leveling up while lying down!
'But my cultivation is still at the ninth level of Qi Perception, and I need one more opportunity to break through to the Daoji Realm. I wonder what this opportunity might be.'
As Fang Xing was deep in thought, a paper crane flew towards him.
He took it and was startled.
Then, he clapped his hands.
With a rustle, four paper figures appeared, carrying a colorful palanquin.
Fang Xing sat on it, and the four paper figures immediately lifted him, flying like the wind towards Dong Peak.
These four paper figures and the paper palanquin were the fruits of his training in the Origami Art, which took less than a year of his Life Span.
However, he would publicly claim that he had failed many times, severely depleting his essence and blood.
...
Dong Peak
"This..."
Lv Feng's expression changed as he saw the four paper figures descending from the sky.
The news of Fei Shentong using the Origami Art to besiege and kill the Yin Clan members resurfaced in his mind, shattering the slight pride he had felt after his breakthrough.
"Uncle Fang... Uncle Tieluo is gone!"
Lv Feng stepped forward, his eyes slightly red.
"Hmm."
Fang Xing got off the palanquin and saw an ordinary residence, which was many times smaller than the Lv Clan mansion.
There were very few people from Tieluo Cultivator's lineage, just two or three, like a big and small cat.
'Not only is Tieluo Cultivator like this, but Song Yunqian is alone, and the few descendants brought by Hu Liuniang seem to have a higher chance of accidents and miscarriages as well?'
Fang Xing's heart stirred, and he glanced at Lv Feng.
Even if this Lv Clan leader was unaware of these matters, he would still be guilty of dereliction of duty. If he knew, then his heart would be as cruel as a wolf.
The next steps were just a matter of following the procedures.
He went in to pay his respects and then comforted Song Yunqian and Hu Liuniang.
Strictly speaking, these two were his peers.
Song Yunqian and Hu Liuniang had aged significantly, with visible white hair on their heads, but their mental states were completely different.
Song Yunqian still had a somewhat cold demeanor, but when she mentioned her grandson, Fei Yong, who was at the Fei Clan, a smile appeared on her face: "My grandson has already reached the sixth level of Qi Perception. He is a key talent nurtured by the clan. In the future, he will surely break through to the Post-Qi Sensing Realm, and he can even compete for the position of clan leader. If he becomes the leader, our Dolong Slope will truly be at peace."
Her words implied that she hoped Fang Xing and the others would provide more support.
"Hehe..."
Hu Liuniang listened and glanced at the Lv Clan members with a cold smile: "I've finally seen it clearly. What does this Dolong Slope have to do with our families? In the future, it will all belong to the Lv Clan!"
