Chapter 368: Chapter 298: Dumbfounded (Requesting Monthly Ticket)_2

Regarding value, probably ten Lingzhu are equivalent to one piece of Low-grade Spirit Stone.

"Actually, the second and third have been working very hard."

The middle-aged man spoke carefully, "If we stop the offerings to Jade or treat everyone equally, perhaps there would not be such resentment in the family..."

"Hmph, shortsightedness!"

The elderly farmer was instantly enraged, "You want me to be impartial, but Heaven doesn’t start off impartial... We all have Low-grade Spirit Roots, and the path of cultivation is full of obstacles. Now that we have a Mid-grade Spirit Root genius, if we don’t nurture him wholeheartedly, sooner or later our Fish and Snake Island will be overthrown without a Qi Cultivation Late Stage cultivator to oversee it... The Yu Family and Liu Family will probably die laughing."

The middle-aged man quickly made a frightened expression, "The great ancestor’s teachings are correct..."

In truth, however, he was somewhat secretly glad inside, feeling that he had taught the younger generations a lesson.

The cultivator in the guise of an old farmer saw this scene, and a hint of disappointment flashed at the bottom of his eyes.

As someone who had lived for so many years and knew the minds of these grandchildren clear as day, he felt only profound helplessness at this moment.

Immortal Cultivation Sects could still choose disciples based on merit, but within an Immortal Cultivation Family, one couldn’t just disregard their direct sons and grandsons.

’Sigh... Back in the day, if I had been more diligent, perhaps I would have been accepted by Huaiye Sect. Maybe I would have even had a chance to compete for a Foundation Establishment Pill...’

Just as the old farmer was wallowing in his melancholic reflections, a streak of light descended, revealing a man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes.

This person was Fang Xing!

He suppressed his mana fluctuations to the Core Formation level and flew over carelessly, emitting a hint of mana fluctuations.

"Greetings to the senior, may I know what you command? The Zhang Family of Fish and Snake Island will do our utmost."

The old farmer immediately knelt down with the middle-aged man.

This senior’s cultivation of mana was unfathomably deep, even deeper than any Foundation Establishment cultivator he had ever seen.

"Where is the nearest market?"

Fang Xing asked.

"The closest market is located three hundred li to the southeast at ’Little Turtle Island’ market, built by Gui Ling Sect, with a permanent presence of Foundation Establishment cultivators..."

The Zhang Family patriarch hurriedly answered, "If the senior can wait, in three years the ’Merchant Treasure Ship’ should also be arriving. When the Sea Market opens, even Core Formation ancestors appear..."

"Bring the map here."

Fang Xing commanded coldly.

The Zhang Family patriarch quickly took out a Jade Scroll from his bosom and handed it over with utmost respect.

Fang Xing took it, scanned it with his Divine Sense, and nodded in satisfaction. He casually threw out a Spirit Stone, "Since that’s the case, I will take my leave..."

With that, he turned into a streak of light, vanishing without a trace.

The Zhang Family patriarch and the middle-aged junior remained kneeling until an hour had passed, then the middle-aged man lifted his head, "Great ancestor... It seems that the senior has already left."

The Zhang Family patriarch caressed the Spirit Stone in his hand, somewhat in disbelief, "To think it’s a Mid-grade Spirit Stone... So, it seems I am correct, that senior is no ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, but a Core Formation expert... Sigh, this matter must be kept secret. Our family’s connection to such a great person, whether it is fortuitous or calamitous, who knows?"

Fang Xing had actually wanted to throw something of even less value, but before coming here, he had already exchanged all his Low-grade Spirit Stones at the Heavenly Sword Sect treasury.

On his person, there were no items of less value than a Mid-grade Spirit Stone.

...

A moment later.

Little Turtle Island market.

Fang Xing arrived at a tea house, ordered a cup of the local specialty Spiritual Tea and fish meatballs, and casually tossed a pile of Jade Scrolls on the table, slowly starting to browse through them.

What he treasured most was a volume titled "Hanhai Fengwuzhi."

Apart from that, there were many travel notes, maps, and introductions to some Low Rank basic Cultivation Techniques, Elixirs, and Talismans...

Through these, he could at least gain some understanding of the Hanhai Cultivation World.

"Mmm... after all, this is the Sea Region Cultivation World, where water attribute spiritual materials are abundant, with plenty of sea beast resources..."

"In terms of cultivation techniques, there are also more water attribute cultivation techniques and spells..."

Fang Xing picked up the "Hanhai Chronicles," and as his divine sense entered it, he speed-read thousands of lines:

"So it turns out that the Hanhai Immortal Cultivation World is also divided into the inner and outer seas, which is equivalent to the living and Fertile Wilderness within the Great Wilderness Cultivation World... The Inner Sea is like the Fertile Wilderness, richest in cultivation resources, occupied by many of the large sects... Including the Three Great Holy Lands, namely ’Primordial Spirit Sword Sect,’ ’Piaomiao Immortal Palace,’ and ’Wuji Palace’..."

"In the Outer Sea, powers are as numerous as cow’s hair, constantly facing mighty sea beast tides and various natural disasters... The Five Pearl Sea Domain belongs to a rather inconspicuous corner of the Outer Sea..."

"Good, very good! As a Nascent Soul of the Heavenly Sword Sect, it’s only right for me to join the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect and ascend directly to heaven."

Fang Xing put down the "Hanhai Chronicles" with satisfaction, then picked up a jade scroll, with a sweep of his divine sense, his expression suddenly changed: "’Chronicle of the Millennial Demon Calamity’? What? The Hanhai Immortal Cultivation World actually suffered a demon calamity?"

As he read on, his expression became exceedingly ugly.

It turned out that over a thousand years ago, for some unknown reason, a true demon emerged in the Hanhai Immortal Cultivation World!

Although there are many demon cultivators in the cultivation world, a true demon is different!

It’s said that this kind of true demon came from the Upper Realm, not only possessing an incredibly powerful physique but also various inconceivable divine skills.

Once the true demon appeared, it was a Nascent Soul Stage being, unleashing a wave of bloodshed and carnage.

Later, after being besieged by dozens of True Monarchs, it fought and grew stronger amidst battle, breaking through to the Great True Monarch realm, annihilating more than ten Nascent Soul Sects in succession, putting everyone in the Hanhai Immortal Cultivation World in mortal danger.

Rumor has it that several reclusive Great True Monarchs were alarmed, joining forces to fight the true demon, only to be defeated by its incredible Great Divine Power; the ’Great True Monarch of the Five Thunders’ died on the spot, not even escaping with his Nascent Soul.

It’s said the true demon’s cultivation nearly had no bottlenecks; that demon might have been a descent from ancient times, originally a God Transformation even higher rank ancient demon.

When it finally lured out a God Transformation Venerable, the ancient demon then vanished for a hundred years.

When it reappeared, it had already reached the Divinity Transformation Level, even directly attacking the mountain gate of the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect!

Rumor has it that the battle was earth-shattering, causing the mountain gate of the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect to sink into the sea.

The final outcome was that this one Holy Land disappeared from the cultivation world along with the ancient demon, now for a thousand years...

"The Primordial Spirit Sword Sect... gone?!"

"My grand Holy Land... gone?!"

Fang Xing’s eyes widened in astonishment, his heart filled with shock: "Then what’s the use of the identity of the Heavenly Sword Sect that I intentionally maintained, and that Mystic Iron Sword Order?"

He almost wanted to conjure his sword light, flip the script on that bookstore completely.

Fortunately, he still had his wits about him; he checked the compilation date of the "Hanhai Chronicles," did a bit of calculation, and was immediately speechless:

"A book from two thousand years ago, and you have the nerve to sell it without updating a single edition, directly misleading people..."

The chaos with the ancient demon happened over a thousand years ago, when the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect was still fine two thousand years ago.

There’s no record of it in the "Hanhai Chronicles," which is somewhat understandable.

Nevertheless, Fang Xing suspected that this place was too remote; these jade scrolls, prepared a long time ago and unsold, thus ended up in such a remote cultivation world, fooling whoever they can!

If it were one of those large immortal cultivation cities, the contents of the chronicle would have likely been updated long ago.

"No wonder there wasn’t any news from the Great Wilderness Cultivation World... After all, it’s only been a little over a thousand years, merely the lifespan of a Nascent Soul True Monarch..."

As far as Fang Xing knew, the Great Wilderness Cultivation World had long since lost contact with the Hanhai Immortal Cultivation World, not having exchanged any communications for thousands of years!

"Then I really can’t blame Chu Kuangtu for tricking me..."

After understanding the cause and effect, Fang Xing felt especially speechless.

He had made all kinds of plans before to maintain his identity as a member of the ’Heavenly Sword Sect,’ then logically join the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect and gain access to Divinity Transformation and higher cultivation methods.

But...

Reality delivered him a merciless blow, letting him know what it meant for man’s planning to fall short of heaven’s will!

Wanting to join the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect, only to find that the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect no longer existed...
