Chapter 378: Chapter 306: Pengmo Island Master (Please Subscribe)

Three days passed by in the blink of an eye.

Ming Kun Island.

Fang Xing eyed the ’Nanming Stone’, on which a rice grain-sized chip had newly appeared.

He had exerted a lot of effort and used many tricks to pry off this small piece from the fifth-grade material.

"What a pity... originally, this material was full of spiritual essence, capable of birthing a strand of Nanming Leaving Fire. My dividing it like this has essentially ruined it..."

"Even without dividing it, after removing that strand of the origin of the Nanming Leaving Fire, to nurture another would take thousands or tens of thousands of years..."

Fang Xing couldn’t be bothered with such tasks that were akin to someone planting trees for the next generation to enjoy the shade.

Better to make direct use of the Nanming Stone.

At this time, he shifted his attention away from the Nanming Stone and focused on the ’Green Sun Demon Lamp’.

With the addition of that bit of Nanming Stone, the bronze-like lamp body of the Green Sun Demon Lamp showed specks of blue, though not many.

"My artifact refining skills are still mediocre, thankfully this time it was only about adding material to improve the quality, not refining a spiritual treasure from scratch, otherwise, it would surely fail..."

Despite the haphazard approach, the Green Sun Demon Lamp’s grade improved incrementally to a mid-grade fourth-rank spiritual treasure.

If those artifact refining grandmasters were to see this, they’d probably be infuriated enough to berate him to death.

Using fifth-grade material for such a result could leave one dying of shame.

But Fang Xing was indifferent; when resources were available, they should be utilized without delay.

Take the South Fire Sect, which despite possessing fifth-grade materials, was too reticent to use them, saving up to eventually refine a fifth-grade treasure. What would be the outcome for such an approach?

Moreover, most of the Nanming Stone remained, and now that the Green Sun Demon Lamp had advanced in grade, it could completely contain the Nanming Leaving Fire; this was the best result.

’Material made from Nanming Stone is indeed most suited for containing Nanming Leaving Fire...’

Sensing the Green Sun Demon Lamp stabilized and showing no signs of abnormal temperature increase, Fang Xing revealed a satisfied smile.

Subsequently, his gaze fixed on the lampwick.

At the very center of the lampwick lay a yellow bean-sized, pale blue lamp flame.

Around this single flame was a ring of dark green fire.

At the moment, the two distinct hues of flame were engulfing and merging with each other...

Though the Nanming Leaving Fire was scarce, it showed no signs of being overpowered.

"After adding the Nanming Leaving Fire, calling it Soul-devouring Demon Fire doesn’t seem sufficient to describe the new Spirit Flame... what should I rename it?"

Fang Xing pondered for a while, "I’ll decide once the merger is complete..."

"Master!"

Just then, the projection of Little Green appeared: "Master... Ni Huolong has already finished repairing the transmission array..."

"Oh?"

A playful smile emerged on Fang Xing’s face; he had never trusted the loyalty of his subordinates, especially those who had been forcefully subdued.

Thus, he had always had Little Green secretly watching.

If Ni Huolong was planning anything underhanded, now would be the best opportunity.

Whether it was to activate the transmission array to flee to the Inner Sea or to invite an attack from Pengmo Island, offering aid from within and without, all would be excellent ways to court death...

It wasn’t long before a Sound Transmission Talisman flew in.

Fang Xing took it, his expression calm, his lips moved slightly, imprinting his response, "I understand, I will come personally to inspect at that time..."

As expected, Ni Huolong chose the most prudent path.

...

An hour later.

Fang Xing, along with his main body, arrived at the Bronze Ancient Hall.

"True Monarch."

Ni Huolong, accompanied by several Jiedan cultivators, had already been waiting there.

Even the Jiedan cultivators from the Sea Market were very attentive.

After all, the market had been able to open and thrive largely thanks to this transmission array!

There are many unique cultivation resources between the Inner and Outer Seas that could fetch a fortune with just a little dealing!

Fang Xing walked side by side with his main body into the inner part of the bronze hall, where he saw the transmission array.

Ni Huolong immediately stepped forward to make the final adjustments, then, embedded one after another top-grade Spirit Stone into the various corners of the transmission array.

Layers of array patterns flashed with spiritual light, and the silver inscriptions seemed as though they might fly out any second.

"Island Master, it should be successful."

Ni Huolong said with a joyful face to Fang Xing’s cultivation avatar.

"Good."

Fang Xing looked around, pointed to one of the previously subdued Jiedan cultivators, "You... teleport over and hand over the latest news and this Jade Scroll to the people from Pengmo Island."

Ni Huolong had proven his loyalty and was quite useful.

Risky matters, naturally, should be left to those Jiedan to atone for their crimes and earn merit.

"Understood!"

The designated Jiedan looked resigned, taking the Jade Scroll and standing on the transmission array.

Ni Huolong immediately took out the transmission token and swung it vigorously towards the array!

Whoosh!

Amidst the flickering silver light, a sphere of light enveloped the Jiedan.

Then... his figure instantly vanished without a trace.

"Indeed, it’s the technology for long-distance spatial transmission..."

Seeing this scene, Fang Xing couldn’t help but be deeply moved.

This was a high-tech breakthrough that not even the Main Universe had achieved.

Time trickled by slowly.

An hour later, the originally empty Transmission Array suddenly roared to life, bursting forth with a brilliant silver light.

"Island Master, should we shut it down?"

Ni Huolong quickly looked at Fang Xing.

If they deliberately shut down the Transmission Array on their end, they could completely block the other party inside the Inner Sea.

But Fang Xing had intended to make a peaceful profit from the start and had taken the initiative to contact them, so naturally, he wouldn’t do such a thing.

Hum!

The silver light flashed, and several Cultivators appeared atop the Transmission Array.

The one at the forefront wore a Roc Feather Robe, with a tall stature and eyes sharp as a hawk’s. His brow was clean and full, marked by an impressively curved eagle nose.

A terrifying surge of Mana flowed from this person, causing every Core Formation Cultivator present to feel as if they were plunged into an ice cave.

"Nascent Soul Middle Stage... it’s actually him who came in person?"

"Pengmo Island Master!"

Fang Xing recognized the identity of the visitor at a glance and smiled, "Welcome to my Ming Kun Island, Island Master..."

"Nascent Soul Early Stage?"

The Pengmo Island Master glanced at Fang Xing. "You’re the Ming Kun Island Master? To kill two Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivators and force True Monarch Huo Yun to dare not fight... surely it’s not just due to a Nascent Soul Puppet?"

Golden dots flickered in his pupils as his gaze shifted, landing on Fang Xing’s original body.

At this moment, Fang Xing’s original body had already activated the "Immortal Martial Artist" trait, transforming the Great Sun Tathagata Dharma into a Great Sun Nascent Soul.

However, the vibration that his Great Sun Nascent Soul emitted at this time was also only at the Nascent Soul Early Stage level.

"Fellow Daoist, may I know how to address you?"

The Pengmo Island Master looked at Fang Xing’s original body, his eyes containing a hint of probing.

"I am Fang Yun, here to lend a hand to my junior."

Fang Xing smiled, pulling out the set of greetings that he had used before to intimidate others.

At the same time, he marveled in his heart that although the technique of using an external avatar was extremely rare in the Cultivation World, it was not non-existent.

His own avatar technique had even deceived the Pengmo Island Master, who was obviously experienced and cultivated the Spirit Eye Technique.

It was clear... it was because of the "Heavenly Mother’s Mighty Golden Lotus Twin Guardian Manual," a magical and profoundly subtle technique, and because his skill was sufficiently high.

"Two Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivators are hardly enough to maintain this Transmission Array business..."

The Pengmo Island Master smiled, "I wonder if you’re willing to spar with this Island Master for a few moves?"

Relations between Nascent Soul Cultivators were based on the premise that their strengths were not vastly different.

The Pengmo Island Master, a powerful individual even among those at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, naturally conducted himself with considerable dominance.

"Spar? That sounds good."

Fang Xing considered it and wanted to test his own true combat strength, so he agreed.

"I see you seem to practice Body Cultivation... then let us purely compare our Body Cultivation techniques, as I too practice the Dual Cultivation of Body and Technique."

The Pengmo Island Master suddenly suggested with a meaningful expression.

Swoosh swoosh!

Dozens of beams of light instantly soared from the bronze hall, flying up to the middle of the sky.

"It has begun."

Hong Wanjin of Myriad Treasure Tower managed a coin-shaped Magic Treasure, facing the strong wind, and sent a Divine Sense Transmission to Lei Hong of the Three Divisions Hall beside him, "What do you think?"

As merchants, they naturally disliked chaotic situations and longed for stability and order.

"The Island Master and his senior’s strength are certainly extraordinary... But the Pengmo Island Master has been famous in the Inner Sea for many years as a Nascent Soul Middle Stage powerhouse, it’s unlikely that he can win... but as long as he can withstand three moves and two styles, perfectly showcasing his capabilities, that will be enough."

Lei Hong likewise responded with a Divine Sense Transmission.

Xin Nonggui of Myriad Dan Tower shook his head, somewhat dismissive, "You’ve been away from the Inner Sea for too long, unaware of the might of the Pengmo Island Master. It’s said that his mother fell in love with a transforming Great Demon while pregnant for three years before giving birth to him, so he was born a Half-demon, even with a rather extraordinary bloodline... He cultivates no ordinary technique, and now his physique is likely comparable to a Fourth Rank Mid-grade Demon Beast."

"With such cultivation? Perhaps even if facing a True Monarch in the Nascent Soul Late Stage, he could retreat safely, right?"

Lei Hong and Hong Wanjin exchanged looks and both took sharp breaths.

"Heh, as long as this True Monarch Fang Yun can withstand three moves from the Pengmo Island Master, it will be enough to become famous throughout the Inner Sea..."

Xin Nonggui passed the message lightly and then cast his expectant gaze back to the battlefield.

...

Above the high skies, the Gang winds were biting cold.

The Pengmo Island Master, clad in his Roc Feather Robe that rustled in the wind, suddenly gave a long howl, "Be careful, this Island Master is about to make a move."

His figure shifted, merging with the wind, and in an instant, he arrived in front of Fang Xing.

In terms of Wind Escape Technique, the previous Wind Department’s master was simply not fit to carry his shoes!

The Pengmo Island Master had an extremely formidable physique, carrying an indescribable sense of pressure; as he spread his five fingers and clawed out, a faint gold glow blossomed from each fingertip, clearly not inferior to any Spiritual Treasure.

Fang Xing, facing this claw, merely extended his right hand calmly.

His palm was fair, delicate, and had a layer of jade-like luster; it simply did not seem like the hand of someone who practiced martial arts.

Boom!

The two palms collided in mid-air, producing only a muffled sound.

An invisible wave of force spread out, everything around appearing unchanged.

But the nearby clouds suddenly burst apart...

The many Cultivators present changed their expression slightly.

"This isn’t Mana, but pure physical strength!"

Xin Nonggui’s mouth fell open: "The Pengmo Island Master is one thing, but this True Monarch Fang Yun, is he also a Fourth Rank Mid-grade Body Cultivator? How have we never heard the great name of this person before?"
