Chapter 599: The Six Generals
[Druid Level Breakthrough: Level 15! Your 'Wilderness Transformation' core form has been enhanced!]
[You have comprehended 'Dragon's Mutation'!]
[Your 'Tree Herder' talent has improved, gaining increased experience for each plant cultivated!]
...
The Attribute Bar continued to display various information.
"The Druid profession has a significant threshold at level 5. After breaking through, both the animal and plant domains receive a boost, right?"
"However, the plant domain likely benefits the most."
"Dragon's Mutation?"
Fang Xing felt the advancement of his wilderness form, "A carp turns into a snake in ten years, a python in a hundred, a flood dragon in five hundred, and a dragon in a thousand!"
"A dragon in its infancy, no longer of the snake or python nature... It possesses dragon attributes and can influence celestial phenomena within a certain range, enough to rival a Yin Spirit Immortal."
To outsiders, he was just a wandering cultivator who had joined Qingmu Mountain at a later stage.
No one could guess that he already possessed the combat power of an Immortal.
"In fact, my current increase in combat power doesn't even rely on the Druid profession."
Fang Xing smiled, taking out a stack of 'Blood Paper' and 'Spirit Bamboo Strips', preparing to cut out a few paper figures.
The greatest advantage of Origami Art is that it allows one to sacrifice lifespan for quality enhancement! At his current Middle Dao Ji realm, sacrificing a few years of lifespan to create Dao Ji paper figures is as easy as flipping his hand.
Although these Dao Ji paper figures lack the divine powers of Dao Ji, they can still easily overpower Qi Sensing cultivators.
Furthermore, with enough numbers, they can even threaten Beyond Dao Ji cultivators!
"With over three thousand years of lifespan, I can push Origami Art to unprecedented heights..."
"It's not for nothing that I've been cultivating the Ten-Thousand Perfect Hand and studying Origami Art..."
Under the lamplight, Fang Xing's hands moved with incredible dexterity, creating ten thousand perfect figures without a single failure.
Soon, he cut out a paper figure resembling a child, complete with paper soldiers, armor, and a paper horse...
"Origami Art is great, but it has its limitations... No matter how much lifespan is sacrificed, it's difficult to surpass one's own realm."
"For instance, a Qi Sensing cultivator, no matter how much they sacrifice, would struggle to create a Dao Ji realm paper figure."
"But since I'm already a Dao Ji cultivator, as long as I'm willing to sacrifice a few years of lifespan, I can refine a Dao Ji paper figure..."
Fang Xing pondered, "I wonder if sacrificing two or three hundred years of lifespan would allow me to break through the limits of Origami Art and create a Yin Spirit level paper figure?"
No cultivator in the Xue Ying Clan had ever attempted such a thing.
Even the Dao Ji cultivators of the Origami Sect in the Xue Ying Clan didn't have such long lifespans!
The Yin Spirit Immortals of the Origami Sect only needed a few years or decades of lifespan to create Yin Spirit paper figures.
However, Yin Spirit Immortals cherished their lifespans even more, not to mention those who cultivated Origami Art, who usually lived for only two or three hundred years and wouldn't dare to waste their lifespan so easily.
Only Fang Xing could be considered a bug!
At this moment, the paper figure crafted by Fang Xing rode atop a paper horse, exuding a formidable killing intent with every glance, already capable of rivaling a Ninth-stage Qi Sensing cultivator.
"This is just a casual creation, and it's already quite powerful. Moreover, I haven't even taken the final step yet."
Fang Xing nodded, biting his index finger and dotting the paper figure's cheeks with blood:
"Sacrificing blood and lifespan, activating the spirit, begin!"
In an instant, Fang Xing felt his lifespan rapidly diminishing.
One year, two years, three years... five years! Boom!
After sacrificing five years of lifespan, the paper figure immediately broke through a major barrier, emitting Dao Ji level power fluctuations.
"Five years of lifespan for Dao Ji combat power?"
"Seems like this trade is worth it?"
"No, my Ten-Thousand Perfect Hand and Origami Art have reached the Master level. Even Fei Shentong couldn't catch up to me... That's why I have this efficiency. Others who casually practice Origami Art won't have such high success rates or low consumption. Only the Dao Ji cultivators of the Origami Sect in the Xue Ying Clan have this possibility!"
"But they've already sacrificed a lot of their lifespan to cultivate various techniques. Even if they break through Dao Ji and extend their lifespan, they might not have decades left, so they wouldn't dare to spend so much... Or rather, sacrificing a few years is fine, but creating more paper figures would cost them their lives."
"The Yin Spirit Immortals face the same dilemma."
Fang Xing didn't stop the refinement process. In the blink of an eye, ten years of lifespan had been consumed, and the paper figure's cultivation soared, reaching the Middle Dao Ji realm!
Then...
Thirty years of lifespan vanished, pushing the paper figure's cultivation to the Beyond Dao Ji realm! At this point, Fang Xing halted the refinement process, "Although I feel like I can continue, refining a Yin Spirit paper figure would require sacrificing lifespan in centuries... Moreover, my Origami Art is still somewhat crude, and even if I refine a Yin Spirit paper figure, I wouldn't be able to control it freely..."
"At least, I'll have to wait until I reach the Beyond Dao Ji realm."
He looked at the paper figure before him. It had grown to human height and wore armor crafted from jade-like stone. Six flags of different colors were attached to its back.
The paper horse beneath it was equally ferocious, exuding an aura of warfare.
"This paper general has clearly been enhanced to the limit in various aspects, making it a formidable weapon in the Dao Ji realm..."
Fang Xing nodded and continued folding.
In no time at all, another five Paper Generals emerged.
He calculated with his fingers, and he had already spent one hundred and eighty years of his life span!
"One hundred and eighty years! Even the Yin Spirit Immortals of the Origami Sect wouldn't dare to be so extravagant! After all, the Origami Sect has always been short-lived..."
"If it were the Dao Ji of the Origami Sect, they would have directly passed away..."
After sacrificing his life span, the strength he gained was substantial.
Fang Xing looked at the six Dao Ji Post-Path Paper Generals and nodded, "When the time comes, I'll place a few of them at Dolong Slope, and there won't be much to fear..."
He was also afraid that a Dao Ji demon cultivator would ravage Dolong Slope, burning his ten-thousand-acre bamboo sea or forcing the Little Ginseng Spirit to reveal its true form, which would attract even more demon cultivators.
Fortunately, Qingli Swamp was not high on Xue Ying Clan's attack list, and at most, a few Qi Sensing evil cultivators would appear to disrupt the production order.
"My life span is also quite stretched..." Fang Xing felt a sense of urgency. If he wanted to refine a Yin Spirit Paper Figure in the future, these three thousand years of life span would not be enough.
"You, go and capture Fei Changqing!"
He calmly gave the order, and the six Paper Generals immediately rode out on horseback.
The sound of galloping horses suddenly rose and then quickly disappeared.
The six Post-Path Paper Generals worked together, and a layer of black mist appeared, resembling a formation, allowing them to move in and out freely as if they were traveling through the Yin World. They didn't even need to open the tree house; they directly rode out, passing through walls.
"This... has some resemblance to the Phantom Paper House Dimension."
"High-level Origami Art creations inherently resonate with the Yin World, or... can they passively utilize the power of the Spiritual Realm?"
Without any hesitation, one of the Paper Generals thrust out a spear.
Boom!
The wooden house belonging to Fei Changqing instantly turned into countless wooden fragments.
But after the wooden house was shattered, Fei Changqing's panicked figure did not appear; instead, a formation appeared! Countless lush tree shadows protected a person within.
"A Dao Ji Paper General?"
"Xue Ying Clan? Has my identity been exposed?"
Fei Changqing waved the green formation flag in his hand, his expression as calm as water.
Boom!
The Paper General on horseback thrust his spear, and a terrifying spear light resembling a black dragon charged towards the 'Twelve Greenwood Controlling Divinity Array'.
Rustle!
Countless plants and trees broke, and Fei Changqing's face turned pale as he spat out a mouthful of essence blood.
He was only at the Ninth Stage of Qi Sensing, with the cultivation of mixed-element energy, and even if he was a powerful cultivator, with the assistance of a formation, being able to withstand a strike from a Post-Path Paper General was already his limit.
But soon, a scene that greatly changed his expression occurred.
Accompanied by the sound of galloping horses, one after another, paper generals clad in paper armor and riding bamboo horses appeared.
"Six Post-Path Paper Generals?"
"They really hold me in high regard..."
Fei Changqing almost spat blood. This lineup was enough to pose a threat even to him in his prime.
What merits and abilities did he have now?
Whoosh!
But the six Paper Generals showed no courtesy, and one of them drew their bow, revealing a startling arrow light.
Thud!
The six attacks landed on the formation, causing the 'Twelve Greenwood Controlling Divinity Flags' to break.
The formation shattered, revealing a bean puppet bound within.
A flash of silver light.
The real Fei Changqing appeared dozens of zhang away, and upon seeing the Yin World-like environment, he gritted his teeth and took out a talisman from his flying mouse sack.
