Chapter 109: Chapter 103: Relic (Congratulations to Alliance Hierarch Ye Xun)

Spring had passed to autumn.

In the blink of an eye, the semester had quietly slipped by.

Fang Xing gazed out the window and couldn’t help but sigh.

Due to concerns about the Core Formation cultivators there, he couldn’t recklessly go hunting... Furthermore, his increase in appetite meant that Spirit Rice and Demon Beast meat couldn’t be replenished in time, which had slowed down his Martial Arts training in the past few months.

However, even so, his growth was unimaginable for the average Federation prodigy.

He extended his right hand, its skin crystal clear like yellow jade, the five fingers extraordinarily slender, devoid of any old skin, almost unbelievably so for a Martial Artist’s palm.

At that moment, with a thought, a dragon’s roar faintly transmitted through the void.

A Dragon Power emanated from him as the center, continuously spreading outward, forming a majestic ’Domain Prototype’!

If someone were standing here, they might even become bewildered, thinking they had seen a glimpse of a cloud dragon...

"Indeed, after passing halfway through the Master Rank in the Great Dragon Stance, I’ve comprehended the prototype of the Dragon Domain..."

Fang Xing mused to himself.

Martial Arts Fifth Realm required the spirit to impact material, turning the Inner Realm into the Outer Realm.

The direct influence of spirit on matter required the Mud Pill Palace to be completely filled with Spiritual Power to naturally overflow.

Turning the Inner Realm into the Outer Realm was done through the Domain!

Since ancient times, the first step in comprehending the prototype of a domain had stumped countless Martial Artists.

But for Fang Xing, after training the Great Dragon Stance to over 200, he had naturally comprehended the prototype of the Dragon Domain.

"This progress is normal, I guess... After all, that Huang Mei kid had already comprehended the prototype of the Light Domain during the Hundred Star Joint Exam period, combining it with his inherent Light Transformation Ability, he could even fly... I still can’t fly."

Of course, Fang Xing was also aware that Gu Jiantong possessed unique talents and, having awakened a top-tier ability, was uniquely blessed in developing the Light Domain.

He, on the other hand, just needed to show the proficiency bar in any domain to be uniquely blessed!

This difference was like that between a scholarly god and a specialist scholar.

Without a doubt, Huang Mei was the specialist!

Thinking about it, Fang Xing took out his phone and called Lan Fei, "Lan Fei... I’m planning to focus on Cultivation during the winter break, purchase a batch of New Year gifts, and visit on my behalf... Lu Guangming principal, Xia Long teacher, Gu Yun fellow student, make sure to visit them all one by one on my behalf..."

"Alright."

On the other end, Lan Fei immediately agreed and then got busy.

Fang Xing chuckled lightly and went to the seclusion chamber.

With a flash of silver light, his figure disappeared...

...

Cultivation World.

A figure was moving through the Great Wilderness jungle.

Some wolf-shaped Demon Beasts seemed to have noticed the figure, just about to make a move.

Roar!

A Domain Prototype enveloped the area, and in the void, a Dragon Shape faintly emerged.

"Ooo!"

The Demon Beast wolves seemed to sense some imminent great danger and immediately fled with their tails between their legs.

"Domain Prototype... how exactly should it be applied? Nowadays it still can’t condense the Dragon Shape into a physical form... but scaring people with a flick of a hand and a dragon doesn’t seem too difficult..."

Fang Xing thought silently as he located a marked ancient tree.

His hands, sharp as the finest shovel, began digging rapidly in the soil, and before long, he’d excavated a three-meter-deep pit.

Clang!

A crisp metallic sound rang out.

He grabbed with his right hand, and a silver-white metal box was pulled out.

After entering the password, the box automatically opened, revealing a screen inside.

On the screen were surveillance logs of recent days!

Since a Core Formation cultivator had arrived, Fang Xing naturally needed to be extra cautious, but he couldn’t possibly give up his advantage of Heavenly Eye.

Thus, despite retracting a large number of unmanned aerial Puppet drones, some key locations still had arrangements.

Such as Qinglin Square, Five Scorpion Valley, and near the underground camp.

This time learning from past lessons, they did not approach for reconnaissance, merely monitoring the happenings from miles away.

And every Puppet had its dedicated surveillance box, buried deep away from the underground camp to ensure no one could trace back to him from the clues.

At this moment, on the screen, as the footage sped up, everything in the Five Scorpion Valley was clearly visible.

"Indeed... Ever since that discovery, when a Jiedan cultivator entered Five Scorpion Valley... three days later there were results..."

Fang Xing muttered, intently staring at the surveillance footage.

Due to the distance, he could only see two streaks of light streaking out from the Five Scorpion Valley, entwining each other...

"Is this... infighting?"

Fang Xing was a bit surprised but not too much, "Originally there were three streaks of light, now why have they become two? Could it be that the Secret Realm is so perilous... even Jiedan cultivators are perishing within it?"

Roar!

The entanglement of the two major streaks of light seemed to attract the attention of a Third Rank Demon Beast, with a strange beastly roar emerging from afar.

Following...

It was a pervasive shadow...

Among the two streaks of light was a fleeting figure, myriad magic like torrents, and also an extraordinary Flying Hairpin Magic Treasure suddenly transformed into a Fire Phoenix engulfing in divine fire, striking that pervasive shadow...

A pitch-black claw suddenly emerged and seized the divine fire phoenix.

Three pitch-black streams of light streaked across, revealing the embarrassingly positioned figure of the Jiedan Cultivator wielding the Flying Hairpin Magic Treasure—it was none other than the Supreme Elder of the Qingxuan Sect!

She looked ahead at the abruptly appearing ink-black flood dragon, her face displaying a color of terror. Just as she was about to cast some secret technique, a burly man completely tattooed behind her suddenly roared, and the tattoos on his fists instantly came to life, turning into a twin-headed serpent more than ten meters in length, biting towards her back...

"Spectacular! Truly spectacular!"

Fang Xing wasn’t particularly moved by the combat of these Jiedan cultivators; after all, he was watching through a screen.

Moreover, it had happened several months prior.

But being able to safely watch Jiedan cultivators and a Third Rank Demon Beast fight to the death was enough to deserve applause.

He watched the surveillance video and roughly deduced, "Three Jiedan cultivators were exploring a secret realm, one fell within the realm, and the other two fought among themselves as soon as they emerged... The mana fluctuations of the Jiedan level attracted a Third Rank Flood Dragon... While these two Jiedan cultivators were defending against the demon beast, they were still sneakily sabotaging each other..."

Fang Xing continued watching, just to see the white-haired, youthful-looking old crone scream in agony as she was bitten by the flood dragon, the spiritual light on her body dissipating, and countless pieces of flesh and bone dribbling down from between the dragon’s teeth.

Seeing this scene, the burly man also looked extremely terrified, continuously chanting spells. His arm suddenly exploded, transforming him into a streak of blood light, fleeing with astonishing speed...

"Was he performing some kind of self-mutilating secret technique... and escaped?"

Fang Xing adjusted the angle, connecting to other drones.

Sure enough, at a similar moment, the surveillance outside Qinglin Square caught a streak of blood-colored light across the sky, showing no intention of stopping in the square, abruptly moving away, and not long after, a pitch-black flood dragon was in close pursuit...

...

"It’s finally over... Subsequent surveillance didn’t spot any other Jiedan Cultivators arriving..."

Fang Xing sighed in relief.

Three great Jiedan cultivators, one lost directly in the secret realm, another killed by a demon beast, leaving only one severely injured and fleeing.

The local death rate in these sub-quests is too high!

He couldn’t help but mentally pat himself on the back for not impulsively exploring the secret realm; it was indeed the right decision!

"But now... can I go and pick up some leftovers nearby?"

Fang Xing stroked his chin, carefully reviewing the surveillance when the Supreme elder of Qingxuan Sect was ambushed, thoughtfully.

This Jiedan cultivator was definitely dead, but the Flying Hairpin Magic Treasure, having lost its master’s control, whined and fell to the ground.

The burly man was too busy fleeing to pick it up!

As for the Third Rank Flood Dragon, it seemed uninterested and directly pursued the burly man...

"That means... there’s a Third Rank Magic Treasure just waiting for me to pick it up?"

Fang Xing’s eyes lit up.

First Rank magic item, Second Rank spiritual artifact, Third Rank Magic Treasure!

Magic Treasures are used by Jiedan cultivators, crafted with Third Rank materials, and very valuable.

One could say, even a tiny fragment the size of a rice grain might be worth more than the Green Rainbow Sword he carried!

"The key point is, so much time has passed, and it’s not inside the secret realm... there shouldn’t be much danger."

"Just picking it up casually... should be fine, right?"

"If the storage bag of that Jiedan cultivator is also nearby, that would be a huge gain..."

...

Several days later.

"Damn... I’m really foolish, truly..."

Fang Xing pressed his temples, feeling some severe pain in his Mud Pill Palace.

He had already arrived at the area below the site of the grand battle.

But from an overhead hairpin dropping, how large could the area below be?

At least he felt like it was looking for a needle in the ocean.

If it weren’t for his ability to harness spiritual power and the aid of drones, Fang Xing’s confidence would have nearly depleted.

Even with such intense searching, he only felt his headache getting worse.

"Indeed, although the spiritual power of a Martial Artist is a bit stronger than spiritual sense and can be projected outward... it’s still not divine sense, a bit too forced..."

If not knowing that a Third Rank Magic Treasure was exceptional and had strong fluctuations, Fang Xing might not have even bothered to come look.

But a complete Magic Treasure, although he didn’t know how many Spirit Stones it was worth, it certainly amounted to an astronomical figure!

Even if he couldn’t use it now, it would be great to auction it off in the future.

Fang Xing was patient, ready to rest a bit, then continue the effort.

"The debris from the Jiedan true person’s remains mostly found by the demon beasts and eaten... a pity, I even thought about doing a physical examination for the Jiedan cultivator, even just a blood test would have been great..."

He sighed, his expression suddenly shifting, "Demon beast? Demon beast!"

Roar!

Just as Fang Xing thought of something, one of the drones detected a Second Rank Demon Beast.

It was a five-meter tall Golden-haired Demon Ape with four arms!

It stood upright, two snow-white fangs protruding, its eyes extraordinarily smart, with a hint of craftiness.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a shadow flashed, and a big golden-furred hand grasped the drone.

The last thing Fang Xing saw was its ugly face, along with its drooling crimson mouth.

Rustle...

The screen filled with static; he then stood up gallantly, his waist-borne Green Rainbow Sword emitting a clear and melodious sword clang.

"I was just thinking of slaughtering a Second Rank Demon Ape to test my skills... more so since..."

In a flash, Fang Xing moved toward the direction where the four-armed ape was.
