"Alas... Elder Brother, there’s no need for this."

Fang Xing sighed deeply, "Junior Brother had offended countless cultivators from both the righteous and demonic paths in order to hasten the formation of my Nascent Soul. It would be best to stay in hiding..."

Chu Kuangtu nodded, fell silent for a moment, then said, "It seems... Junior Brother is planning to leave? Are you preparing to go to the Hanhai Immortal Cultivation World?"

Fang Xing nodded, not at all surprised that his thoughts had been guessed: "At fifty years old, I have already formed my Nascent Soul, and in the future, I will surely break through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage, becoming a Great True Monarch! Since that’s the case... I should pursue the path of Divinity Transformation, or even realms beyond it!"

"Indeed..." Chu Kuangtu showed a look of sudden realization, "A flood dragon cannot be confined in shallow waters... Your talent would only be wasted in the Great Wilderness."

He himself was a rare cultivation prodigy, but compared to Fang Xing, he felt deeply ashamed, as if having lived all his years in vain.

’A Nascent Soul at fifty... Hopes of transforming into divinity, and stability as a Great True Monarch.’

With this thought, Chu Kuangtu’s heart couldn’t help but heat up.

Now that Fang Xing was on par with him, he simply couldn’t be overcome.

If not as an enemy, then he must be an ally.

Once he clung to this person capable of divinity, how splendid would the future of the Heavenly Sword Sect be?

Yet, Fang Xing spoke no more, merely patted his storage bag, and a genuine ’Nascent Condensing Pill’ flew out, landing in Chu Kuangtu’s hand.

"This ’Nascent Condensing Pill’ can serve as my compensation to the sect."

Previously, he had stolen most of the Divine Infant Fruits, effectively reducing the Heavenly Sword Sect’s chances of condensing Nascent Souls, and naturally had to make amends.

Additionally, Fang Xing was using this gesture as a way to lead by example.

If, after he presented such a precious ’Nascent Condensing Pill’, Chu Kuangtu didn’t offer something in return, he’d simply turn around and leave, severing all ties with the Heavenly Sword Sect in the future!

Thus, this Elixir was the perfect means to break causality.

"Young Brother is too polite... That young Fu Hongyi wouldn’t have been able to snatch even one ’Divine Infant Fruit’ without your intervention. Those demon path Golden Cores were all formidable... Young Brother, by annihilating those demon path Golden Cores, you have severely crippled the demonic path’s future for decades. Your contributions are indispensable."

Chu Kuangtu promptly stored away the Nascent Condensing Pill, feeling quite guilty. He then slapped his storage bag and produced a Mystic Iron Sword Order: "Our Heavenly Sword Sect’s founder, the ’Carefree Elder,’ came from the Hanhai Immortal Cultivation World... The founder was a disciple at the holy ’Primordial Spirit Sword Sect’ and was later dispatched to the Great Wilderness to cultivate and establish a sub-sect. This Mystic Iron Sword Order is the proof. Our founder once said, among the later generations of our Heavenly Sword Sect, if there is someone exceptionally brilliant, they may use this order to join the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect... With Young Brother’s talents, it would indeed be a pity not to join the ’Primordial Spirit Sword Sect.’"

"Thank you, Elder Brother, for your generous gift."

Fang Xing gladly took the Mystic Iron Sword Order.

Chu Kuangtu, determined to see things through to the end, then produced a Jade Scroll: "The Hanhai Immortal Cultivation World is extremely far from the Great Wilderness and fraught with dangers... This is a map left by our ancestor, take it for your reference."

Fang Xing took it, his heart now more at ease.

With this, his journey to the Hanhai Immortal Cultivation World seemed much more promising.

However, he visited the Heavenly Sword Sect also wishing to take part in the pioneering wars.

After all, following the Nascent Soul, cultivation became even more challenging.

Many Nascent Soul cultivators lacked even the Elixirs to enhance their mana, relying solely on their arduous training.

During pioneering wars, it was rare to secure fourth-rank Spiritual Medicines.

"I heard from Nephew Kong that our Heavenly Sword Sect has undertaken a mission to exterminate the Green Water Cold Flood Dragon in Bibo Cave?"

Fang Xing bowed: "If there’s any way Junior Brother can be of help, please feel free to ask, Elder Brother!"

"Actually, Elder Brother does have a troublesome matter, and if Junior Brother is willing to lend a hand, it couldn’t be better!"

Chu Kuangtu said, "But it involves neither Bibo Cave nor the Green Water Cold Flood Dragon... Haha, with Junior Brother’s help, we hardly lack the opportunity to condense Nascent Souls, so why bother provoking that beast?"

"What is Elder Brother referring to? Could it be... the Nascent Soul old demon from the Wanxiang Demon Sect?!"

Fang Xing briefly contemplated, then understood Chu Kuangtu’s plan.

This indeed was a great opportunity!

The old demon of Wanxiang was never a match for Chu Kuangtu, and with his own help, his death was certain!

This was the perfect chance to avenge previous humiliations and, after defeating the Wanxiang Sect, the Heavenly Sword Sect could also secure a vast strategic depth in the south.

All that was prime cultivated land, yielding much more than any pioneering effort!

"Exactly!"

Chu Kuangtu said, "After the ceasefire, we Nascent Soul True Monarchs have taken heart devil oaths, swearing not to initiate major conflicts. There are plenty of fourth-rank methods limiting this, ensuring that if breached, even Nascent Soul cultivators would face severe consequences... But Junior Brother, you are not part of the agreement."

"Are you saying... to have me lead the charge?"

Fang Xing remained noncommittal. With his current strength, he feared no Nascent Soul from either the righteous or demonic paths.

"That’s right! This is the best opportunity... That old demon of Wanxiang would never expect your presence, the perfect chance to deal a deadly blow."

Chu Kuangtu sneered several times: "I’m willing to risk severe injuries to my Primordial Qi and slightly breach the agreement, providing some sidelines from Elder Brother and perhaps block other reinforcements... This time, we must at least destroy the Nascent Body of that old demon of Wanxiang. Ideally, we should take the opportunity to annihilate the Wanxiang Sect entirely!"

The Wanxiang Sect, having recently lost a False Infant cultivator and a Nascent Soul seed, was at its weakest.

If they could kill the old demon of Wanxiang, they might just manage to wipe out the Wanxiang Sect entirely!

The sect harbored a deep-seated hatred for Fang Xing, even considering capturing his body for corpse refining.

"To kill a Nascent Soul Cultivator is extremely difficult... especially when they can project their Nascent Soul and escape into the void... This ability ignores most spells and prohibitions, and their escape speed is extremely fast."

Fang Xing shook his head, "I wonder how Elder Brother plans to cope?"

"Oh? It seems Junior Brother is confident in destroying the magic body of the Wanxiang old demon? Do you also have a method to deal with the Nascent Soul spirit?"

Chu Kuangtu’s eyes brightened significantly, while he also tested Fang Xing’s capabilities.

"Unfortunately... I do not."

Fang Xing shook his head.

In fact, his cultivation avatar indeed did not have it, but his main body did!

Whether it was the "Mountains and Rivers" from the "Great Sun Tathagata Divine Palm" or the void-locking "Sun God’s Wings," both techniques targeted the void.

Their power was also beyond the Eighth Realm, and it was uncertain if they would let a Nascent Soul spirit escape.

Naturally, such a trump card would not be revealed carelessly.

Moreover... the maximum control of the "Sun God’s Wings Mecha" was not in his hands, it was practically impossible to bring it into the cultivation world to create havoc.

"Alas..."

Chu Kuangtu sighed, "Since that’s the case, then we must use the sect’s last resort—the ’Nascent Soul Entrapping Net.’ This fourth-rank secret treasure can only be used once... It’s targeted at Nascent Soul early stage cultivators trying to escape, and it has a seventy percent chance of capture!"

Compared to the almost flawless Fang Xing, Chu Kuangtu feared more the old Wanxiang demon escaping and then whole-heartedly opposing the Heavenly Sword Sect, hunting low-rank cultivators.

Once the Nascent Soul escaped, if it possessed a suitable body, it could recover its mana in just a decade or several decades.

For this reason, Fang Xing’s journey from Foundation Establishment to Nascent Soul in just decades was mistaken for Nascent Soul possession.

"’Nascent Soul Entrapping Net’? Good!"

Fang Xing nodded, "I am confident I can destroy the magic body of the Wanxiang old demon... After that, it will depend on Elder Brother."

...

The lands of the Five Sects and Ten Countries.

Fang Xing revisited his old battleground and felt quite sentimental.

At that time, he led troops to fight here, but the Wanxiang Sect, lacking in martial virtues, dispatched a False Infant cultivator, causing the Heavenly Sword Sect to retreat in total defeat.

Later, he killed the master of the Wind Department with a slap, barely evening the scales.

But since both sides were powerless to continue the battle, they declared a ceasefire based on their controlled territories.

Fang Xing specifically went to the death point of the Five Elements Sect to reminisce briefly before venturing deeper into the domain of the Blood River Palace.

The Blood River Palace was indeed the strongest among the Five Sects and Ten Countries, with the Great Hall Master being at the late Core Formation stage.

Even during the great battle between the righteous and demonic, the flames of war were kept out of Blood River Palace.

’Now, the Blood River Palace is the largest affiliated force of the Wanxiang Sect... and it is highly valued.’

Other than the fact that the Great Hall Master of the Blood River Palace was at the late stage of Core Formation, this place also possessed a medium-sized Spirit Stone mine!

A medium-sized Spirit Stone mine could steadily produce mid-grade Spirit Stones, with occasional findings of top-grade ones, making it immensely valuable.

Even the Blood River Palace couldn’t retain such a significant benefit, with seventy percent being paid as tribute to the Wanxiang Sect.

"That Wanxiang old demon... is probably in Black Cloud Mountain hunting bears!"

Fang Xing hovered over the mine, lost in his thoughts.

The fourth-rank Transformed Bear Demon of Black Cloud Mountain had not only tough skin and flesh but was also proficient in the Earth Escape Technique, making it unmatched in speed under the ground.

Just like the Green Water Cold Flood Dragon of Bibo Cave, by leveraging the geographical advantages, it posed significant trouble for both the righteous and demonic sides.

Even more critical was the risk of having retreat routes cut off if one gave up the attack to go to other wilderness areas!

Given the locust-like mentality of cultivators, the only reason they had previously terminated the wilderness expansion was the presence of tough nuts to crack.

Now, severely lacking in fourth-rank resources, these tough nuts had to be dealt with.

The battle to clear the lands was obviously very challenging.

"Whether on the front lines or within the gates of the Wanxiang Sect, neither location is suitable for ambushing the Wanxiang old demon..."

The former might involve other Nascent Soul old demons, and within the gates of the Wanxiang Sect, with the aid of fourth-rank arrays and many resources, even Chu Kuangtu dared not make such a move!

"Therefore... the best strategy is to lure this brute out... This old demon’s escape skill is unique, fortunately, Elder Brother Chu has already pondered a countermeasure..."

To lure out the Wanxiang old demon, Fang Xing merely needed to set a fire in his backyard and create a situation even a late Core Formation cultivator couldn’t handle, naturally leading him out of his lair.

The key lied in his, Fang Xing’s, recognition of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Contemplating, he took out a pitch-black Corpse Storage Bag and nonchalantly tossed it.

Amidst a layer of dark demonic clouds, five distinct corpses emerged, each inscribed with the characters for metal, wood, water, fire, and earth on their masks—these were the "Five Mixed Demons!"

Although these five miscreant demons were utterly useless in Fang Xing’s hands, releasing them would be enough to stir the winds in the cultivation world, at least the great master of the Blood River Palace was no match!
