Chapter 612: The Wolf is Coming
Chapter 612: The Wolf is Coming
Several days later.
Qingyu Hall.
Fang Xing received a paper crane and couldn't help but laugh, "As expected... After Min Zining advanced to the Middle Dao Ji Realm, he couldn't help but make a move, right?"
The Middle Dao Ji Realm was a strict requirement set by the Vice-Triumvir of Shennong Hall.
Unless all the Dao Ji Xiu Shi in the entire sect were dead, with only a few remaining, this requirement would not be changed.
"To be honest, I really don't care about this Vice-Triumvir position. If it weren't for planting trees..."
Fang Xing sighed.
Facing such a test, he had countless ways to deal with it, but at this moment, he decided to use the simplest strategy of overpowering with strength.
He stood up, transformed into a green light, and arrived at a pavilion in the center of a lake.
The pavilion seemed to be made of jade, and inside, there was a person soaking in the water and brewing tea—none other than Min Tangzhu!
"You...?"
However, Min Tangzhu's expression was calm and collected, but upon seeing Fang Xing for the first time, his composure was shattered, "You..."
The teapot in his hand trembled, and a few drops of water splashed out, "You... have actually advanced beyond the Middle Dao Ji Realm?"
At this moment, Fang Xing slightly adjusted his aura-concealing technique, releasing the Fa-Li Power fluctuations of the Beyond the Path of Dao Realm.
Min Tangzhu was shocked at the sight.
If Fang Xing had already advanced to the Beyond the Path of Dao Realm, then the Vice-Triumvir position was as stable as Mount Tai!
Furthermore, he could even try to push him out and become the Hall Master of Shennong Hall himself!
"Hehe... I've been contemplating the fundamental diagram of Shentong, and I've been fortunate enough to gain some insights."
Fang Xing casually waved his hand, and a congregation of green ginseng appeared in the void, bringing various restorative and enhancing effects.
"Congratulations, Junior Brother, for cultivating the 'Rou Taishui' Divine Art!"
Min Tangzhu was an expert in recognizing treasures, and he immediately stood up and bowed in respect.
"Haha, thank you..."
Fang Xing sat down casually, "I never expected that someone who was already half-buried would still be able to break through... By breaking through the Beyond the Path of Dao Realm, I've also extended my Life Span, and from this Pseudo-perfect enlightenment, I've realized a 'Rou Zhi Yan Sheng' secret technique... Although it can't increase Life Span, it can gradually repair some of the Life Span consumed by Origami Art, and there's still a certain possibility."
He wasn't lying; after all, his vision and experience were too high, and his understanding of Divine Arts far surpassed that of ordinary Xiushi.
The Pseudo-perfect enlightenment, 'Rou Taishui,' was indeed inclined towards healing and recovery, and it had such potential.
Although it couldn't repair too much, the healing effect varied from person to person.
"Junior Brother is indeed a genius..."
Min Tangzhu was filled with admiration, and both sides had a pleasant conversation.
After Fang Xing left, Min Zining hurriedly entered the pavilion, "Uncle... How did the discussion go?"
"What do you mean? He's already advanced to the Beyond the Path of Dao Realm, and this position is as solid as iron and bronze."
Min Tangzhu glared at his nephew and then comforted him, "In the sect, cultivation level is ultimately the most important. You... had bad luck. Uncle will help you find another position."
"How is it possible to advance to the Beyond the Path of Dao Realm?"
Min Zining was shocked. Advancing to the Middle Dao Ji Realm was not even close to the difficulty of reaching the Beyond the Path of Dao Realm.
"Could it be... that he used the secret technique of devouring Dao Ji? No, the sect hasn't had anyone cultivate the 'Rou Taishui' in the past few decades..."
Min Zining was extremely dejected, and in his heart, he was even more clear that his uncle had likely made a deal with Fang Xing, exchanging his own position for Fang Xing's assurance that he wouldn't vie for the Vice-Triumvir position.
In return, Fang Xing wouldn't come to compete for the Hall Master's position!
But even knowing this, he could only accept it.
After all, among Xiushi, strength was always revered!
...
The small storm in Shennong Hall soon passed.
Fang Xing's advancement to the Beyond the Path of Dao Realm did indeed shock many, but that was all.
Unless he advanced to the Yinshen Realm, these minor matters between the Middle and Beyond the Path of Dao Realms would, at most, be reported to a few Yinshen Immortals.
The high and mighty Yangshen cultivators had true, overarching concerns and needed to play a grand game.
Atop a mountain peak, shrouded in white clouds.
Qingmu Laozu, clad in a green robe with his hair and beard braided, sat cross-legged.
In front of him was a white jade chessboard with nineteen vertical and horizontal lines.
On the chessboard, the white and black pieces seemed like two great dragons, baring their fangs and claws, engaged in a fierce battle.
In a localized area of the chessboard, the situation was mysterious and unpredictable, as if shrouded in a layer of mist, making it difficult to discern the direction of the game.
Snap! Qingmu Laozu pinched a white piece between his right thumb and index finger and placed it down solemnly.
With this move, the situation on the chessboard changed dramatically, and the white pieces seemed to lock in their victory, about to form a 'Great Avalanche'!
"It seems that the Kill-Life Cult has decided to dispatch a detachment to the Beyond the Mortal Realm," Qingmu Laozu said as he played the game, his words startling.
After all, the entire Beyond the Mortal Realm, especially the many low-level Xiushi in Qingmu Mountain, thought that the Kill-Life Cult would never return.
But they never expected that after crying wolf so many times, the wolf would actually come!
"The previous offensive and victory were just to better prepare for defense."
"This Beyond the Mortal Realm, it is said that the faith of the gods is difficult to reach... It is a natural place of isolation and defense."
However, in the mortal realm, there are still some places where the divine gaze cannot penetrate.
Such a place is the 'Beyond the Mortal Realm', a strange land where not only is it difficult for the gods to reach with their gaze, but even converting believers here requires more power.
Similarly, it is only because these ten major sects, both righteous and evil, do not have the backing of the gods that they can thrive in the 'Beyond the Mortal Realm'.
As for the Kill-Life Cult, they have the backing of a true god!
The newest and smallest book is available now!
The Black Protector chuckled, "If our Kill-Life Cult becomes the leader of the ten major sects in the 'Beyond the Mortal Realm', then your Qingmu Mountain won't fare well..."
Slap!
The black piece fell, and the seemingly hopeless Black Dragon suddenly found a respite, even having the potential to soar into the sky.
"You, a member of the Kill-Life Cult, actually abide by agreements?"
Qingmu Laozu seemed surprised and began to hesitate.
"Of course not..."
The Black Protector spoke calmly, "I came here to start a war in this place... The more deaths and destruction, the more it aligns with our master's will... Even if our master only receives a tenth of the offerings and rewards, it's still worth it..."
He smiled strangely, "Lowering the difficulty at the start is not bad, so I still want to swallow your Qingmu Mountain... Qingmu Old Man, what will you do?"
With Qingmu Mountain as a base, it would be easier to conquer other major sects.
Feeding the tiger with one's own flesh, when faced with a true evil tiger, is like a meat bun hitting a dog...
"Old man..."
Qingmu Laozu coldly laughed, "Since the Flying Sword School and the Upper Shrine have abandoned me, I naturally have to turn to..."
Suddenly, he threw a white piece, disrupting the chessboard, and said with a cold smile, "Not only this territory of Qingmu Mountain, but also my disciples and even myself can join the Kill-Life Cult and become one of its branches. How about that?"
The reason Qingmu Laozu opened his treasury after the defeat was to maintain the existence of the Qingmu Mountain sect, hoping to sell it for a good price! He was even willing to join the Kill-Life Cult himself, discarding all notions of ancestral masters, traditions, and lineages.
"Haha, Qingmu, you're indeed ruthless, and I like it."
Upon hearing this, Qingmu Laozu's expression became somewhat greedy.
Crash!
As the chessboard fell, Qingmu Laozu's body shattered, his head turning into meat paste.
However, a flash of green light restored his body at an incredible speed.
But the restored Qingmu Laozu had deep wrinkles crisscrossing his face, resembling the bark of an old tree.
In the heavens, a colossal Qingmu giant appeared, roaring with anger.
"Haha, we of the Kill-Life Cult have never needed dogs."
The chessboard in his hand glowed with the brilliance of a magic artifact, and suddenly, nineteen intersecting rays of light appeared in the heavens and earth.
These rays formed a net that trapped the Qingmu giant, which was entirely composed of thoughts!
Not only that!
Together, their combined power surged, and two equally vast and harmonious thoughts rose into the sky, forming a faint Taiji Yin-Yang fish pattern that suppressed the Qingmu giant.
From within the crumbling Qingmu giant, Qingmu Laozu exclaimed in surprise, "Even you are here?"
"Hehe... I'll send you off on your journey."
Accompanied by a soft voice, the heavenly chessboard suddenly shrank, trapping a weak green light. This green light barely persisted for a few moments before fading into darkness...
