Chapter 657: Return to the Immortal Realm
"Insectoid Civilization, their third Eternal Being?"
"We're doomed, we're dead for sure..."
"This is no longer a disaster for the Starlight Civilization, but for all of humanity..."
Xiaohui, who was more knowledgeable, added, "If the Starlight Civilization and the Beast Civilization don't have a second hidden Eternal Being, we're all dead for sure..."
"Everyone..."
Li Ying was suddenly terrified.
Fang Xing glanced down, "You will accompany me into battle. New Blue Star will serve as our base. If danger arises, I will send you into my Inner Universe. At least, until I fall in battle, you should be safe..."
In truth, with the Heavenly Gate, no Eternal Being could capture him.
This was also a test, and Fang Xing decided to let these people choose whether to follow him into battle voluntarily.
If they didn't want to, that was fine...
"We are willing to follow the Lord!"
Lin Qianzhu and Lei Ming quickly bowed.
They were among the first to benefit greatly after Fang Xing's arrival.
With the Starlight Civilization's summons from above and Fang Xing's watchful eye from below, they had no choice but to fight with their backs against the wall.
"Very well, let's begin then."
Fang Xing laughed, and New Blue Star trembled!
The massive planetary engines roared, and the planet's shape elongated, transforming into a saucer-like form.
In what seemed like an instant, it had changed from a habitable planet to a colossal spaceship!
The spaceship roared like a fortress of war, heading toward the Ophiuchus Wormhole!
...
Ophiuchus Wormhole.
As New Blue Star's spaceship arrived, crimson warnings appeared.
["Wormhole Closed!"]
["No Passage Allowed!"]
["By Order of the Starlight Civilization's Highest Council!"]
["Violators Will Be Executed!"]
...
The loss of this wormhole's throughput for even a day would be immense.
However, in the face of a war that could mean the end of a peak civilization, it was nothing!
"Alright, everyone, resume your regular patrols."
Fang Xing looked at his subordinates below, "If danger arises, return to New Blue Star immediately."
"Yes!"
Regardless of their thoughts, Li Ying and the others responded in unison.
'Xiaohui, Xiaohui...'
After leaving New Blue Star, Li Ying suddenly perked up, "I don't think that adult is asking us to risk our lives. We have the freedom to come and go... What if I go a bit further and escape through the Primordial Palace? What do you think?"
"Good idea, I completely agree."
Xiaohui said, "The universe is vast... Just hide in a dark corner, and the Insectoids won't find us."
"Right? You think it's a good plan too?"
Li Ying nodded, "Then I've made my decision... I'm not leaving; I'm going to cling to the Lord's coattails."
Xiaohui was taken aback, then became enraged, "Why?"
"Because you always try to get me killed, and I've learned from experience... Any plan you agree with is definitely a trap."
Li Ying stroked his chin, "Being as smart as I am, I have to do the opposite..."
Xiaohui was so angry that he rolled on the ground, "You idiot! I really want to live... Do you know what the Insectoids are? Your Lord is just a Fourth Stage Dharmic Master, maybe even a Fifth or Sixth Stage, but in front of an Eternal Being, he's just a piece of trash! Do you still want to follow him? I'm trying to save your life because I don't want the Primordial Palace to be devoured by the Insectoids..."
"Stop, stop, you're just babbling."
Li Ying smiled, "I may be stupid, but I know one thing: once I make a decision, I stick to it. Wandering and waiting in one place is the most wasteful behavior."
...
New Blue Star.
Inside the palace.
Fang Xing used a thread of consciousness to control the Black Dragon, which was now dormant in the Azure Origin Realm, cultivating the disciples of the Spirit Treasure Palace, taking over the legacy of the Green Emperor Palace, and having Niu Ma Yi Ling San Ren compete for various Origin Mystery Realm resources...
As for his main self, he sat cross-legged, silently reciting the 'Great Sun Tathagata Mantra'!
On the attribute panel, the Master-level 'Eternal Time and Space Great Sun King Mantra' glowed faintly, and a sub-symbol appeared, revealing the 'Heavenly Mother Virtue Golden Lotus Twin Protectors'!
He had already perfected this secret transmission, achieving mastery and unity.
As he chanted the mantra, consuming Origin Power, a figure appeared in the hall, gradually becoming more substantial.
With arched brows and star-like eyes, he wore a long blue robe, exuding vibrant energy.
It was the Cultivation Avatar!
With Fang Xing's current Dao Lord strength, creating a Dharmic Master-level avatar was simple.
He gazed at the Cultivation Avatar before him, lost in thought:
"The Cultivation Avatar originally followed the Path of Time and Space, cultivating the 'Time and Space Lotus' technique, but it didn't go deep... Later, it learned the Druid Legacy, which allows it to follow the Path of Nature!"
The Path of Nature was a top-tier path that was on par with, or even surpassed, the 'Panwu Path'. Moreover, since its creator had long transcended, it was likely in an 'unowned state'!
"Can the Path of Nature encompass the Path of Time and Space?"
Fang Xing pondered, somewhat tempted, "Of course, I could also remove the 'Divine and Demonic Dichotomy Technique', allowing the Cultivation Avatar to immediately comprehend the Panwu Path and become a Dao Lord avatar!"
Originally, Fang Xing's cultivation involved using a Secret Art to distinguish between his cultivation avatar and his true self. His true self followed the Panwu Path, while his avatar pursued the Path of Time and Space.
These two paths ran parallel, and there was even the possibility of mastering both!
Now that Fang Xing's true self had already achieved the Dao Lord realm, once he lifted this technique, he could directly gain a Dao Lord-level avatar.
A Dao Lord at the 14th realm was known as a Dao Lord in the True Immortal Realm, a powerful cultivator in his own right.
Of course, the cost was that his cultivation avatar would be entirely imbued with the Panwu Path, leaving no possibility for him to pursue the Path of Time and Space or the Path of Nature.
"For now, this is the way... Understanding the great path is difficult. Without the Panwu Great Canon, secret medicines, and the final opportunity in the Gods' World, I might not have grasped the Panwu Path."
"But my cultivation avatar can still go to the True Immortal Realm to gather information. If any danger becomes too difficult to handle, my true self can intervene at any time..."
Fang Xing gazed at his cultivation avatar.
Unlike before, when only a sliver of his essence remained, he now easily used the power of the great path to reshape his avatar's physical form, even following the template of a spirit root cultivator.
"Now, my cultivation avatar has reached the peak of the True Immortal realm, the 13th realm..."
Fang Xing sighed.
In the True Immortal Realm, a True Immortal was comparable to a Dharmalord, a 13th realm expert.
A Dao Lord was on par with a Great Dharmalord of the Great Xia, ranked at the 14th realm!
As for Dao Sovereigns, Demon Sovereigns, and Evil Sovereigns, they were Eternal Beings, ranked at the 15th realm.
"Go!"
Fang Xing's true self activated the Heavenly Gate, connecting to the True Immortal Realm, and sent his cultivation avatar over.
Whoosh!
A flash of light in the grand hall, and the cultivation avatar vanished.
...
True Immortal Realm.
It had been countless years since the Dao Sovereign's ascension failed and the Dao Court collapsed.
At the site of the Dao Court.
The Jade Palace, originally destroyed, had been rebuilt, looking even more ethereal and divine.
A flash of light!
Fang Xing's figure materialized, holding a wine gourd in his hand.
"Bi Xia Fairy, Luo Yun True Immortal..."
Thinking of these two old friends, Fang Xing felt a bit melancholic. He uncorked the gourd and poured some wine: "I haven't visited you for many years, so let me offer this wine in your memory... When I break through to Dao Sovereign, I may be able to bring you back..."
"Come to think of it, it's quite funny. We toiled for so many years, finally achieving immortality, only to realize that we were just one of the ten thousand heavenly soldiers guarding the gate. When the monkey attacked, we all turned to dust..."
Fang Xing let out a long breath: "It's surprising that the Dao Court still exists, beyond my expectations."
He gazed into the distance, seeing the Dao Court still standing tall and magnificent, the only difference being the absence of the purple aura that once stretched for thousands of miles.
"The Dao Sovereign can condense the characteristics of transcendence, perhaps obtaining the inheritance of a transcendent being."
"And the Demon Sovereign and Evil Sovereign will definitely not let me go..."
Fang Xing sighed and flew away on his sword.
A beam of sword light flashed, moving at an incredible speed, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Friend Daoist, please stop!"
At that moment, a divine consciousness sounded from behind him.
Fang Xing's sword light didn't pause, quickly vanishing.
"This sword immortal has such swift sword flight and such a cold demeanor..."
A woman named Water Fairy appeared, wearing an autumn-colored robe. She looked at the wine stains on the ground, feeling somewhat curious: "This person gazed at the Dao Court... and poured wine on the ground. Could he be paying respects? Sigh... How many True Immortals were killed by the Demon Sovereign's 'Heavenly Demon Transformation' back then?"
At that moment, the sound of phoenix cries rang out.
The woman named Water Fairy was startled and then saw nineteen True Immortals in the form of phoenixes pulling a carriage made entirely of various flowers.
Around the carriage, colorful tassels fluttered, creating a beautiful and mesmerizing scene.
A pair of autumn-like eyes gazed directly at her.
"Salute, Dao Lord Autumn Water."
The woman named Water Fairy immediately bowed, as this person was her Ancestor Master by lineage.
As she bowed, she felt anxious: 'Why has the Ancestor Master come here?'
"Who has been here recently?"
Dao Lord Autumn Water looked around and suddenly waved her hand.
A wave of autumn water appeared, and time seemed to rewind, revealing a green-robed sword immortal with a yellow gourd in his hand, standing gracefully.
"It's this person?!"
Seeing this person, Dao Lord Autumn Water's beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
The Dao Court's Dao Lords had searched high and low, but they could never find this immortal.
To think he would just happen to run into her?
'This person has the inheritance of transcendence. If I can obtain it, I might at least achieve the Dao Sovereign realm!'
Dao Lord Autumn Water felt elated.
"Report, Ancestor Master..."
The woman named Water Fairy finally thought of everything and was prepared to sell Fang Xing for a good price: "I just thought this sword immortal had an extraordinary presence, so I called out to him from a distance, but I couldn't stop him..."
"The karma is weak, but it's enough."
Dao Lord Autumn Water's eyes flickered, and a talisman appeared in her hand.
"Ancestor Master?"
The woman named Water Fairy hadn't reacted in time when the talisman stuck to her body. She screamed and instantly turned to ashes.
A very thin thread of karma appeared, which Dao Lord Autumn Water pinched between her fingers...
