Chapter 203: Chapter 173 Chase (Please Subscribe)

Cultivation World.

Heavenly Sword Sect, Golden Yuan Peak.

Fang Xing’s cultivation avatar silently swallowed a supreme healing elixir, and a streak of golden light burst forth from his eyes.

"The injury... is completely healed."

"Wei Shentong truly deserves to be in the Great Vajra Realm, with just one move exchanged, the rebound of his qi force was enough to injure me... His physique fears not my full-force strike with the ’Rotten Iron Sword’, he must be at least a Quasi Fourth Rank in Body Cultivation, or even a true Fourth Rank!"

Fourth Rank Body Cultivation, capable of withstanding a Nascent Soul Cultivator with just their physique, is quite impressive.

However, Fang Xing ultimately named his lifebound flying sword ’Rotten Iron’, aiming for an element of surprise.

At this moment, through Internal Vision, a platinum ’Void Pill’ within his body emitted strong mana fluctuations, constantly nourishing the lifebound flying sword crafted primarily from Tianxuan Star Sand.

This lifebound flying sword was of such superior material that it was almost at the Magical Treasure level.

After being nourished day and night by Fang Xing with the mana of a Nine Apertures Golden Core, it was gradually transitioning towards becoming a true lifebound magical treasure.

He silently cultivated for a while, then touched the storage ring on his hand.

Several dark stone fragments of different sizes appeared; these were all remnants of the Wan Ling Catalog.

Though much of the Martial Arts Will inscribed on them had dissipated, they should still offer insights to enrich his Martial Arts realm by a fraction.

"Besides this..."

A dark crystal stone emerged in Fang Xing’s hand: "This item, those Evil God followers are desperate to obtain it, it is indeed a treasure... Simply its material alone should be stronger than the ’Tianxuan Star Sand’..."

"Even so, this clear black stone isn’t suitable for future refinement into the flying sword to enhance its potency..."

After mastering the sect of the Evil God Studies, Fang Xing’s proficiency in it had reached the level of a postdoctoral or even academician.

He could now recognize that this ’Dark Crystal Stone’ was the core of the Wan Ling Catalog, containing a portion of the blood essence, and even divinity, of the Evil God’s Child—Baxia!

After countless years of refinement, it had almost merged into one with the ’Myriad Spirits Martial Arts’, forming an extraordinary object.

In the hands of the Evil God followers, it could serve as the highest-grade offering to please the Outer Realm Evil God, even forming the foundation for the descent of the Evil God’s Child!

"For a Martial Artist, its use might be limited... but it could be burnt to extract substantial divine power to replenish the Great Sun Divinity... essentially serving as a power bank for the ’Great Sun Tathagata Divine Palm’?"

If previously, Fang Xing could only execute one ’Great Sun Tathagata Divine Palm’.

With this power bank, he should be able to strike three to five more palms!

"This, then, is the Fourth Rank method of the Cultivation World... comparable to multiple bursts of power akin to a strike from a Nascent Soul Cultivator?"

"Perhaps, not just any ordinary Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivator, but a Nascent Soul Middle or even Late Stage Great Cultivator?"

"It’s a decent trump card, indeed."

After tallying his gains, Fang Xing began contemplating the breakthrough issues of his true body.

"Thanks to absorbing part of the Wan Ling Catalog... my true body has now reached the pinnacle of its domain, just one step away from condensing a ’Martial Arts Golden Core.’"

"If I wish not just to condense an ordinary Golden Core, I need to start preparing the cosmic yin and yang... "

"I already have ’Shaoyin Evil Qi’, just missing ’Sun True Gang’."

As he pondered silently, Fang Xing stepped out of his cave mansion.

"Hmm?"

With a wave of his hand, a Sound Transmission Talisman flew into the array, landing in his hand.

After listening for a few moments, a hint of joy appeared on his face, and then he transformed into a streak of sword light, arriving at the Sword Pavilion where the Sect Master was located.

Kong Fengge, the Real Person of the Broken Sword, still looked distressed and worn. Seeing Fang Xing arrive, he slightly forced a smile, "You’ve come?"

"Fang Xing, greeting the Sect Master!"

Fang Xing made a sword gesture with his right hand, performing the sword salute of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

"The ’Sun True Gang’ you requested, the sect has found a lead. A trade convoy in Zheng Country has already acquired a portion and sent it to an undercover agent... You can get it by going to Zheng Country."

Real Person of the Broken Sword said smiling.

"Going to Zheng Country?"

A look of confusion appeared on Fang Xing’s face, wasn’t it supposed to be the Outer Hall who sends someone to escort it to him?

"According to our sect’s intelligence, Zheng Country is about to be in turmoil... Back then, Myriad Beasts, Qingxuan, and Black Sky—the three great Core Formation powers—all pled allegiance to our Heavenly Sword Sect... However, from recent traces, Myriad Beasts Sect, after becoming the overlord of Zheng Country, is suspected to have ties with the Demon Path!"

This accusation by the Heavenly Sword Sect’s Sect Master was quite serious.

"So... the sect is preparing to send a disciple to investigate?"

Fang Xing followed Kong Fengge’s words.

"Exactly. We, as Sword Cultivators, must not isolate ourselves... only through continuous fierce battles can we achieve enlightenment!"

Kong Fengge said, "Now that your lifebound flying sword has achieved its form, and you have mastered Sword Gang, grasping Sword Light Division and Refining Sword into Silk, it’s time for you to venture into the world. The adversity of the secular world is exactly what sharpens the Sword Heart..."

’Actually, I don’t want to... I could cultivated peacefully in the sect, advancing to Golden Core, no, Nascent Soul!’

Fang Xing internally complained, but knew he couldn’t refuse.

Moreover, with ’Sun True Gang’ in Zheng Country, it was an absolute must-have: "Disciple obeys the command... If the Myriad Beasts Sect truly has ties with the Demon Path, what should be done?"

"Report to the sect, and execute them!"

Real Person of the Broken Sword spoke with true murderous intent.

"I understand."

Fang Xing turned and left.

It wasn’t long before this news spread throughout the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Heavenly Sword City.

Outer Hall.

A Foundation Establishment disciple was writing official documents when suddenly, a light flashed upon the Spirit Talisman in his hand.

He read a few lines and immediately went into a dark room, where a crystal-clear mirror appeared in his hand, and he wrote down a line of intelligence on it.

Beili Immortal City.

Heavenly Jade Pavilion.

A young man with white hair, known as Real Person Tianyu, entered the secret chamber and saw a figure shrouded in black mist.

"Why did you come in person?"

Real Person Tianyu’s expression changed upon seeing this person.

"Our spies embedded in the Heavenly Sword Sect have sent intelligence. The sect has grown suspicious of the Myriad Beasts Sect and specifically dispatched a True Inheritor Sword Child to investigate. That Sword Child is headed to Zheng Country, and he will certainly pass through Beili Immortal City. For you and me, this is a matter of killing two birds with one stone..."

The shadowy figure let out a hoarse laugh.

"Killing two birds with one stone, could that True Inheritor Sword Child... be Fang Xing?!"

Real Person Tianyu’s eyes lit up.

Back then, he coveted Fang Xing’s original body and secretly had his descendants monitored.

However, that descendant somehow detected something amiss and ran away!

Not only did he run, but he even fled to the Heavenly Sword Sect and became a True Inheritor Sword Child!

When he first heard this news, even Real Person Tianyu was stunned for a long time before he stopped pursuing the matter.

After all, he really couldn’t afford to offend the Heavenly Sword Sect.

"No wonder you came personally. A mere Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivator is nothing special, but to lure out ’Fang Yun’ who’s behind him, we must join forces... After all, having consumed the Vajra Fruit, he most likely has become a Third Rank Body Cultivator."

A sense of seriousness appeared on Real Person Tianyu’s face.

Although a Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivator, once having cultivated Sword Gang, is deemed invincible among his peers, he had long since reached the Fake Core!

Under the overwhelming pressure of a large domain gap, a Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivator was not to be feared, especially since he still had hidden trump cards.

And this shadowy figure was a true Jiedan Cultivator!

The two of them joining forces was overkill for dealing with a Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivator, but just about right to take on a Third Rank Body Cultivator.

Several days later.

Fang Xing, transformed into a sword light, traveled swiftly and arrived near Beili Immortal City.

"Speaking of which... Real Person Tianyu once sent people to monitor me with malicious intentions. Should I take this opportunity to settle the score?"

"With the level of attention he has on me, if I just show up, he will definitely come after me..."

As long as it wasn’t in Beili Immortal City, without so many Jiedan Cultivators, Third Rank Arrays, Battle Formations, and powerful magical artifacts, Fang Xing was fearless.

Afraid of revenge after killing Tianyu?

That’s a joke!

Real Person Tianyu dared to plot against a True Inheritor of the Heavenly Sword Sect, it should be Beili Immortal City that needs to explain!

This is the advantage of having the backing of a major power.

The status of a True Inheritor Sword Child within the Heavenly Sword Sect was even higher than that of an Outer Hall Jiedan Elder.

Outside Beili Immortal City, Fang Xing landed from his sword light but suddenly felt something was off.

In his glabella, a nascent ’Sword Heart’ explosively alerted him!

’Sword Heart’ is a Third Rank method of Sword Cultivators.

Once fully condensed, it possesses methods like ’Sword Heart Clarity,’ similar to a cultivator’s whims, but more precise, and it could promote ’Sword Intent’!

Having received the imprint on Sword Heart Peak, Fang Xing would easily condense his Sword Heart once his realm was sufficient.

’Something that could even make me feel a little danger... A mere Fake Core is hardly qualified.’

’Interesting... could it be that dealing with me is not just Real Person Tianyu’s idea, but also the collective will of the higher echelons of Beili Immortal City?’

’If that’s the case, once my cultivation is greatly advanced, I must flatten this Immortal City...’

Fang Xing chuckled inwardly and suddenly turned around.

At the city gate, a Child playing suddenly stood up and turned into a small alley.

He entered a door and his body instantly shrank, transforming into a Jade Puppet, landing in Real Person Tianyu’s hand: "This kid... seems to have discovered something?"

"No! If he had already known there was danger in the city, he wouldn’t have come here at all, or he would have directly brought the Heavenly Sword Sect’s army... This sudden change seems like a cultivator’s whim!"

The man in black robes stood beside Real Person Tianyu: "This child is truly extraordinary... Realizing the danger during the Foundation Establishment period... even the future Sword Heart step probably won’t hinder him, and once this child advances to Jiedan, he will definitely be an obstacle to our great cause... Go after him!"

"Alas... after doing this, I probably won’t be able to stay in Beili Immortal City anymore."

Real Person Tianyu finally made up his mind and, together with the man in black robes, proceeded out of the city.

He spread his large sleeves, and a White Jade Falcon Puppet was released.

With a long cry, it continuously grew in size, its wingspan reaching over ten meters long.

Real Person Tianyu boarded the back of the Falcon Puppet, muttering under his breath, and directed a series of spells into the puppet’s wings.

The Falcon soared high, its speed astonishingly fast, comparable to some Third Rank flying birds!

"To achieve the speed of Third Rank flying birds with a Second Rank supreme puppet... Real Person truly is a puppet master!"

The man in black robes stood next to Real Person Tianyu, letting out a cheerful long laugh.
