Chapter 377: Chapter 305: Void Refining (Extra Chapter for Monthly Ticket)

Several days later.

Nanli Island.

The Sea Market, once bustling, now lay desolate.

Passing Cultivators hurried on their way, occasionally casting awestruck glances toward the direction of the South Fire Sect’s Mountain Gate.

Palatial jade edifices had been razed there, leaving behind a fort of steel Mechanical Puppets.

The Nascent Soul Level destructive power displayed that day had left a deep impression on all Cultivators.

No, it could no longer be called South Fire Sect.

According to the wishes of that True Monarch, the original site of the South Fire Sect had become the stationed site of the ’Ming Kun.’

Island Cultivators, ever the busybodies, took to calling Fang Xing ’Ming Kun Island Master.’

After all, according to the rules of the Immortal Cultivation World, once a Sect is annihilated, everything associated with the original owner, including place names, must be changed.

The Low Rank Cultivators didn’t realize that there were actually two Nascent Soul True Monarchs who had taken action that day.

But in reality, their speculations were closer to the truth.

On this island, there truly was only one ’Ming Kun Island Master’!

Inside the bronze hall.

Fang Xing’s Cultivation Avatar stood with hands clasped behind his back, followed by Ni Huolong and several other Array Masters, observing the Transmission Array.

"Island Master, the damage to this Transmission Array is minor. The ’Void Netherstone’ and ’Water Illusion Jade’ required for the repair are in stock. We will work overtime and will surely repair it within three days... but there will be one complication afterward."

Ni Huolong said, "The Transmission Array is dual-way. If the Island Master wishes to continue this business, you must reach an understanding with the other side on Pengmo Island. That is a Demon Path’s stronghold, capable of claiming a place within the Inner Sea, and the ’Pengmo Island Master’ has exceptional Cultivation, a formidable figure even among those in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage..."

In his heart, he had his own reservations.

This Nascent Soul Early Stage Sword Lord seemed to actually be the ruler of this ’Ming Kun Island’, while that incredibly powerful Body Cultivator was perpetually in seclusion within the Puppet City.

It seemed as if the Island Master had specially invited him to lend support.

"The Pengmo Island Master? I understand."

Fang Xing nodded, "The world bustles with activity, all for benefit... As long as this True Monarch realizes that he cannot defeat us, what remains is simply a question of the profit share."

He was well aware of these matters.

After waving Ni Huolong away, Fang Xing transformed into a streak of Sword Qi, scouting the entire island.

Explorer had already scanned the area. Nanli Island covered an area of 2,987,369.64 square kilometers, quite vast indeed.

And more importantly, the main site of the Spiritual Veins was where the South Fire Sect’s Mountain Gate had been, possessing a Fourth Rank Mid-grade one of the utmost importance.

He had been forced these past few days to keep Explorer stationed there, replacing the destroyed Fourth Rank Array.

Below, within the Sea Market, an Array had been cast, drawing a small Spiritual Vein from the main body of the Vein, sufficiently powering the Jiedan Cultivators for their Cultivation.

He surveyed the landscape, then slapped the Corpse Storage Bag at his waist.

Five Mixed Demons emerged, each bearing Array Flags, Array Plates, and even Array equipment large as small hills.

"Let’s go, set up this ’Wanxiang Unpredictability Array’ for me."

Fang Xing manipulated the Five Mixed Demons through his Divine Sense, putting them to work as laborers.

This Fourth Rank Array was naturally dismantled from the Wanxiang Sect.

Such stationary Arrays lose a permanent portion of their potency once dismantled.

Yet, upon reinstallation, they would surely be stronger than those movable Arrays.

Regarding the secrets of setting up the Wanxiang Unpredictability Array, Fang Xing had naturally found them within the Nascent Soul and scriptures of the old devil from the Wanxiang Sect.

Anyway, before Huo Yun True Monarch met his demise, Fang Xing certainly wouldn’t continue repairing the Water Curtain Heavenly Array. That would simply be uncomfortable for him.

"Once the Wanxiang Unpredictability Array is set up, the Five Mixed Demons can patrol within it... putting them to good use."

Fang Xing had no intention of setting up any super large Arrays since he didn’t plan on establishing a Sect.

Merely covering the core of the Fourth Rank Spiritual Vein, as well as those Spiritual Medicine Gardens and Spirit Fields, would be enough.

Coupled with the Five Mixed Demons, any Nascent Soul True Monarch would have to make an effort to intrude, enough to buy ample time for Fang Xing to be alert.

After setting up the Wanxiang Unpredictability Array, Fang Xing entered the Explorer, where he saw his main body seated in meditation, the Nascent Soul of Can Ling True Monarch now nowhere in sight.

The Nascent Soul of All Techniques still aspired to ascend to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, and the demand was not one or two Nascent Souls.

Since they were never enough, Fang Xing just threw them into the Great Sun Furnace, likewise increasing the proficiency of the Great Sun Tathagata Mantra.

And... it also gave him a deeper understanding of South Fire Sect, Huo Yun True Monarch, Tianyin Sect, even the Hanhai Immortal Cultivation World.

After all, the insight of a Nascent Soul True Monarch couldn’t be matched by purchasing some intelligence.

"So South Fire Sect had so many hidden forces and Hidden Vein Disciples?"

The first thing he obtained was many of South Fire Sect’s secrets.

Unfortunately, some treasures were difficult to retrieve, and the disciples’ cultivation sites were scattered. He was too lazy to eradicate each one.

"Besides, this Can Ling True Monarch had quite a personal hoard..."

"Of course, the most crucial were her experiences and various pieces of intelligence..."

What Fang Xing valued most was actually this.

After gaining the knowledge of such a Nascent Soul True Monarch, he was no longer afraid of being detected for his lack of extensive knowledge about the Hanhai Cultivation World during conversations with peers of the same realm.

Even some of the intelligence about the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect and higher realms were unexpected gains.

"The remnants of the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect have been almost completely exterminated. Now, even if there are some left, they definitely dare not claim to be inheritors of the Sword Sect..."

"Above the Divinity Transformation of the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect, there are a total of six scriptures... Five of which can only be cultivated up to the Divinity Transformation Stage. ’Great Freedom Mysterious Gold Sword Scripture’ is listed among them..."

Fang Xing felt a chill when he read this, knowing that the Outer Sea was still manageable.

Once he reached the Inner Sea, he feared that some Nascent Soul True Monarchs would recognize the Great Freedom Mysterious Gold Sword Qi he used. That would indeed be troublesome.

"Besides the Great Freedom Mysterious Gold Sword Scripture, the other five Divinity Transformation cultivation techniques are ’Miraculous Joy Sword Scripture’, ’Thunderclap Sword Manual’, ’Flying Immortal Sword Scripture’, and ’Killing Sword Scripture’..."

"Above the five Sword Scriptures is the most sublime inheritance of the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect—’Spirit Void Sword Scripture’!"

"All the inner and outer disciples of the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect practice swordsmanship... Only those who condense a Golden Core and become true inheritors are taught one of the five Divinity Transformation Sword Manuals... Even if they are promoted to Nascent Soul Elders in the future, they still practice the five Sword Scriptures."

"Only the true core inheritors, the seeds of Divinity Transformation, are able to receive ’Spirit Void Sword Scripture’ during the Golden Core Realm... Fortunately, since this Sword Scripture is the source of all Sword Scriptures and swordsmanship of the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect, switching to cultivating it should not encounter great difficulties or bottlenecks."

After understanding this, Fang Xing realized his initial plan to join the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect under a branch identity was indeed feasible.

However, even after joining, he would only learn the five Sword Scriptures.

To become a Sect Master candidate and core heir, it would still be somewhat challenging.

Of course, there was still a chance!

After all, Sword Cultivators of the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect are likely madmen.

As long as he gets on the Sword Fighting Platform and kills the current Sect Master, he could immediately take over as Sect Master and be taught the ’Void Refining Sword Scripture’!

Of course, those who make it to the Sword Fighting Platform are their own people.

If an external cultivator dares to challenge the leader of the Sword Sect, they are most likely to be dismembered by random swords right in front of the mountain gate!

"So the realm above Divinity Transformation in this world is called ’Void Refining’, huh?"

Fang Xing discovered this from Can Ling True Monarch’s memories, his eyes shining brightly.

The cultivators of the God Transformation stage in this world can be considered professionals of the Ninth Realm, which equals Martial God in the Main Universe!

And the Void Refining Great Powers should be the stage above Martial God!

Considering the advantages of his [Immortal Martial] status, it wouldn’t matter whether it was his original self or his Cultivation Avatar who cultivated to the Void Refinement Realm, the breakthrough in Martial God later on would likely not pose a problem.

The realm desperately sought by Martial Gods in the Main Universe is right before Fang Xing’s eyes!

"The reason the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect, Piaomiao Immortal Palace, and Wuji Palace are considered Holy Lands is because they have produced Void Refining Great Powers, who have successfully ascended..."

"Among other sects and Loose Cultivators... a Divinity Transformation cultivator may occasionally arise, but they are fleeting and there’s even less chance of cultivating to the Void Refining stage and ascending to the Upper Realm!"

According to Can Ling True Monarch’s common knowledge, even reaching Divinity Transformation was hard in this world, let alone ascending unless one finds a Void Passage to take a life-threatening attempt, which leads to a fine line between life and death.

The only secure way to ascend is to cultivate to the Void Refining stage!

"Void Refining Great Powers have indefinite lifespans, capable of roaming the Void... There seems to be no restriction on Spiritual Energy?"

After all, the Void is a void with no spiritual vein energy to replenish Mana.

Void Refining cultivators wanting to ascend can only rely on crossing the Void by themselves!

"Another one with an indefinite lifespan..."

After understanding this, Fang Xing was somewhat speechless.

"Martial Gods have an infinite physical lifespan, while Immortal cultivators cultivate Divine Infants... which can be considered an indefinite lifespan of the spirit."

"The physical body is not just a stinky skin, and the spirit is indispensable... Perhaps, only the immortality of the body combined with the immortality of the spirit, is the true ’Immortal’..."

He sighed deeply, with a sharp look in his eyes, "The next target has already been clarified, which is the ’Spirit Void Sword Scripture’ of the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect! Even the earlier stages are unimportant, but the crucial parts of the Divinity Transformation stage and the breakthrough to the Void Refining must be acquired!"

This goal was obviously difficult since it was unclear if the ’Spirit Void Sword Scripture’ had been passed down externally.

If it hadn’t, he might have to search within the mountain gate of the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect.

That place is extremely dangerous, where even a Great True Monarch might perish!

If Fang Xing were to go, he would definitely wait until his Mecha was fully forged and he possessed Ninth Realm combat strength before attempting it.

"Within this world, Ninth Realm combat power is already the pinnacle... Because Divinity Transformation cultivators at Perfect stage, once they break through to the Void Refinement Realm, would be rejected by the entire world... There’s even celestial light from the Upper Realm forcing them to ascend immediately, without a moment’s delay."

"Even those powerful beings descending from the Upper Realm have to drop their status and scatter their cultivated powers to the Divinity Transformation level after entering the Cultivation World..."

For Fang Xing, this was good news.

Just wait until his Mecha is constructed, and in the Cultivation World, he wouldn’t necessarily stride around undisputed, but it would be nearly so.
