Chapter 433: Chapter 349: Almost Sixth Rank (Seeking Monthly Ticket)

Iron Sword Sect.

True Monarch Huo Yun was sitting cross-legged in meditation, his body surrounded by a flickering crimson glow.

With each breath he took, the core of his Sword Pill seemed to hold an incomparable flying sword that was absorbing and expelling the spirit of heaven and earth with his breaths.

When he eventually ended his meditation, feeling his mana progress even further, a hint of joy couldn’t help but appear on True Monarch Huo Yun’s face.

"Not bad, not bad... If I continue to cultivate like this, should I be able to reach Perfect Golden Core within ten years?"

Just then, a chilling voice suddenly rang out, startling True Monarch Huo Yun so much that he nearly thought he was encountering a heart demon.

His body flashed with Fire Sword Qi before he finally saw the person who had spoken, jolting him once more.

Standing in his cave mansion was a young man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, smiling amiably at him.

"Island Master..."

True Monarch Huo Yun didn’t quite know what to feel, it was complicated beyond words, then he managed a bitter smile, "What brings the Island Master here?"

"The Island Master didn’t want to come either; it’s just that I recently discovered someone took a particularly keen interest in me... After following the trail, I did not expect to find the Iron Sword Sect."

Fang Xing remained smiling.

Originally he planned to directly eliminate the Iron Sword Sect, but after careful observation, he changed his mind.

After all, with his strength, secretly using Soul Search on a few Core Formation cultivators, even to the extent they wouldn’t remember being captured or searched, was a trivial matter.

After taking action against Junior Brother Zhou and others, although some Divine Soul Prohibitions prevented him from figuring out too much, he still clearly understood the origins of the Iron Sword Sect, which surprisingly was part of the Mysterious Wonders lineage of the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect!

Right there and then, Fang Xing was over the moon, feeling as if a pillow was offered as soon as he got sleepy, so he went to True Monarch Huo Yun for a talk.

After all, the Iron Sword Sect was now no more than a handful of cats, the strongest among them only a Core Formation Late Stage Sword Cultivator; they could not stir up any waves.

True Monarch Huo Yun immediately felt deep regret.

He had thought his actions were foolproof, but now he realized he had underestimated the Divine Skills of a Nascent Soul old monster!

Little did he know, Fang Xing wasn’t relying on any Divine Powers, so the lineage’s secret defenses were useless against him.

True Monarch Huo Yun being discovered was purely bad luck, identified through ’big data’ analysis...

"I merely admire the Island Master; I never expected to inadvertently provoke the Island Master to come in person, a crime deserving of death..."

True Monarch Huo Yun hurriedly pleaded guilty.

"There is no need for that," Fang Xing said, slightly raising his hand to release a strand of Great Freedom Mysterious Gold Sword Qi, "To be honest... I am from the Heavenly Sword Sect lineage of the Great Wilderness Immortal Cultivation World, and if we trace back, my ancestors also belonged to the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect; you can call me Fang Xing."

"Junior Huo Yun pays respects to Uncle-Master Fang Xing."

True Monarch Huo Yun’s body was incredibly flexible as he immediately paid respects.

After all, when facing a Nascent Soul True Monarch, whatever he said was to be taken as the truth.

However, deep inside he thought, ’The Gold Sword Lineage has traveled far and wide, which is well known, but to talk about leaving for the Great Wilderness, that’s not common... it might really be a branch of our Sect, albeit separated by many years and grown distant.’

Fang Xing rolled his eyes, knowing this newfound junior did not believe a word, and immediately flipped his palm and took out the Mystic Iron Sword Order gifted by Chu Kuangtu from his storage bag and tossed it over, "Do you recognize this?"

True Monarch Huo Yun caught it, his expression immediately turning into one of excitement, "This is the symbol of succession passed down through the Gold Sword Lineage; I certainly recognize it... Uncle-Master, oh Uncle-Master... these years, we of the Hidden Veins have been living so miserably!"

Tears filled his eyes, seeming to possess a trace of sincerity.

Alas... Fang Xing was still skeptical.

Nevertheless, this was how the Immortal Cultivation World was, it’s better to remain confused.

"I am anxious about the troubles of our Sect, I do not know when I will be able to visit the Sect’s mountain gate to pay respects..."

Fang Xing said.

"Our Sect’s mountain gate sunk into the sea after perishing together with that ancient demon... and the area has been contaminated with True Demon Blood, spawning a multitude of demon beasts, even Fourth Rank ones... now it’s known as the ’Primordial Demon Sea’!"

True Monarch Huo Yun explained, "Those Fourth Rank demon beasts, though not as wise as shape-shifted Great Demons, are more bloodthirsty and ruthless, often in packs and extremely difficult to deal with. Of course, with Uncle-Master’s divine might, naturally you would not fear delving into the Primordial Demon Sea... but the mountain gate of the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect is protected by a powerful formation, known as the ’Slaughter God Demon Sword Formation,’ a formation close to Sixth Rank!"

"A formation close to Sixth Rank?" Fang Xing was startled; in the Immortal Cultivation World, Nascent Soul Cultivators are considered Fourth Rank.

God Transformation Venerables are Fifth Rank!

And only Void Refining Great Powers can touch upon the Sixth Rank!

"Indeed, our Primordial Spirit Sword Sect once had a sword immortal ascend to Void Refining... although as soon as one breaks through to the Void Refining state, they must ascend quickly, but they can still leave legacies for the Sect."

The Real Fire Dragon boasted proudly, "This ’Slaying God Demon Sword Formation’ is one of them, and even in the past, it was a true Sixth Rank Sword Formation. When facing the Demon Clan, its lethality was astonishing, practically on par with a Sixth-rank top-grade grand formation... Otherwise, it would have been difficult to perish together with the ancient demons."

"After the Heavenly Sword Sect fell into decline, the ’Slaying God Demon Sword Formation’ was left damaged, only retaining the might of an almost-Sixth Rank. But even a Divinity Transformation Venerable wouldn’t dare to rashly intrude," said the Real Fire Dragon.

Through the explanation of the Real Fire Dragon, Fang Xing finally understood.

The foundation of the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect was astonishing. Even if the sect’s mountain gate formation was half-destroyed, it was still very dangerous for an average God Transformation Venerable to intrude.

He had not rashly attempted to penetrate the Primordial Demon Sea before, which was indeed a wise decision.

The Real Fire Dragon hesitated for a while, but in the end, he muttered a few mnemonics under his breath, grasping at his own chest.

A sphere of dark luster was extracted by him, inside which was also a Mystic Iron Sword Order!

"Please look, uncle-master, this is our lineage’s Mystic Iron Sword Order!" the Real Fire Dragon said. "The sect’s grand formation has already birthed an Array Spirit, which can sense the Mystic Iron Sword Order... However, the Array Spirit has been in slumber ever since it slaughtered the ancient demons. Otherwise, the Piaomiao Immortal Palace would have already taken the Immortal Lineage token and plundered it thoroughly... But, it has already been a thousand years since then. According to what my deceased master said, he had tried to contact the Array Spirit with a secret technique in the Primordial Demon Sea. Although the Array Spirit did not respond, there were already signs of awakening... If we wait a few more years, there will be a rare celestial event in the Immortal Cultivation World - the Seven Demons Charge Evil! At that time, stimulated by this event, the Array Spirit will surely fully awaken."

"Oh? It seems that you have been earnestly pursuing this and also wish to enter the sect’s mountain gate," Fang Xing said with a smile.

"To be frank... our sect’s highest inheritance, the ’Spirit Void Sword Scripture,’ is within the mountain gate, and it possesses divine wonders that cannot be taken away; those who learn it cannot pass it on externally..." The Real Fire Dragon sighed. "We from the Hidden Veins can only receive the Divinity Transformation Sword Manual at most... in the end, it’s much less than the main branch..."

"I’m afraid... that’s not all, right? Within the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect, there must be many treasures," Fang Xing said with a hint of desire.

"That’s natural. After all, our sect is one of the Three Great Holy Lands of the Hanhai Cultivation World. Divinity Transformation cultivators have existed generation after generation... For example, the ’Sword Grinding Cliff’ is an excellent place to refine one’s Lifebound Flying Sword, and the ’Canglan Hall’ can temper one’s Sword Heart... Besides, our sect’s Spiritual Medicine Garden is a world unto itself, possessing many strange flowers and herbs rarely seen in this world. Nascent Condensing Pills, Nascent Infant Pills, and other Spiritual Elixirs are certainly not scarce," said the Real Fire Dragon with great excitement.

"Nascent Infant Pill? Could it be the rumored Divine Medicine that can help Nascent Soul Cultivators break through their bottlenecks? It’s said that even for a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage breaking through to the Late Stage, there’s a ten to fifteen percent effect..."

Fang Xing was interested. With his current situation, if he took a ’Nascent Infant Pill,’ he would almost certainly break through the bottleneck and advance to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

"Hehe, the profound foundation of a Holy Land is naturally extraordinary... It’s said that every few thousand years, based on our sect’s accumulation, a portion of ’Spirit Salve of Divinity Transformation’ will be produced! It is a rare opportunity for Divinity Transformation in this world, one portion of which is enough to give a Nascent Soul Cultivator at perfection a glimpse into the Dao of Divinity Transformation," the Real Fire Dragon said mysteriously.

"No wonder the Piaomiao Immortal Palace and even many other first-rate forces covet our sect’s mountain gate... It’s all driven by interest," Fang Xing remarked.

The chance for Divinity Transformation lies ahead, and even Great True Monarchs would certainly fight over it with red eyes.

As for forces like the Piaomiao Immortal Palace and the Wuji Palace, they would certainty not mind adding to their Divinity Transformation heritage.

Even...

The Primordial Spirit Sword Sect once had a Void Refining Sword Immortal, there might even be a chance for Void Refining!

That’s something even God Transformation Venerables would desperately vie for!

"Seven Demons Charge Evil, huh?"

Fang Xing, already a Nascent Soul True Monarch, remembered the mnemonic he had read in a miscellaneous book. After calculating with his fingers: "Still three years away... It seems not only us, but the Piaomiao Immortal Palace and even the Wuji Palace will come."

Upon mentioning this, the Real Fire Dragon couldn’t help but wryly smile, "The Piaomiao Immortal Palace will definitely enter the fray, and as for the Wuji Palace... the Thunder Sword Lineage’s Mystic Iron Sword Order, I’m afraid it’s already fallen into the hands of ’Xu Yun the Great True Monarch.’ This Great True Monarch seems like a Loose Cultivator, but in fact, he is affiliated with the Wuji Palace... The five great Hidden Veins of our sect, now only the fate of the Killing Sword Lineage remains unknown."

"The Killing Sword Lineage? Have you heard of the ’Taibai Sword Immortal’? It is said that he has been active in the Red Algae Sea Area..." Fang Xing spoke up.

"Oh?"

The Real Fire Dragon’s eyes lit up, "The Killing Sword Lineage has old connections with our lineage, nephew-disciple can try to use the secret technique to see if we can sense and contact them... However, this technique has certain requirements for the range."

Deep down, the Real Fire Dragon still didn’t quite trust Fang Xing, the Island Master of Ming Kun Island.

If he could bring the Killing Sword Lineage into the equation, forming a three-legged stand-off, he might be able to feel a bit more at ease.

"Hmm? There’s such a wondrous method of contact?"

Fang Xing’s eyes brightened, and then he thought of his own Heavenly Sword Sect.

Oh?

It turns out to be a lineage on the same page as being dispatched, and also for a long time not present in the Hanhai Immortal Cultivation World, even if they developed similar secret techniques it would be useless, right? Then there is no problem...

"In that case, you come with me to the Red Algae Sea Area, and let’s see if we can save him."

Fang Xing made a decision.

As for the situation of the Taibai Sword Immortal, since Hao Yue and Huo Yun knew about it, other major powers must also know.

As an outlier, even for a Sword Cultivator in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, being attacked would be very uncomfortable.

It just so happened he would go for the rescue, while also adding some nourishment for his Second Nascent Soul.

If he could supplement himself with the Nascent Soul Spirit Body of a Great True Monarch, the Nascent Soul of All Techniques would surge forward, and advancing to the Nascent Soul Late Stage would be as easy as flipping one’s hand!
