Chapter 439: Chapter 354 Venerable Jue Ming (Seeking Subscriptions)

"Ah!"

In the void, a sudden scream echoed.

It was the Great True Monarch Yi Xue!

His Blood Escape Technique had been broken, his Demon Armor rapidly melted under the Great Sun True Fire, and his Magic Body was burned into a pile of ashes.

Only a pitch-black, robust Nascent Soul, penetrated by numerous golden swastika runes, transformed into a golden figurine that landed in Fang Xing’s palm.

"Uh?"

Fang Xing was somewhat surprised and looked in the direction of True Monarch Xu Yun, "To withstand two strikes from a God Transformation cultivator, your potential, strength, and fortune... are all above that Demon Path Great True Monarch."

True Monarch Xu Yun revealed his true face, a visage with sharp and distinct features, his lips bloodied, clearly having suffered great loss of primordial energy.

Seeing Fang Xing now was like seeing a God Transformation Venerable; his heart was filled with despair.

What was even more tragic was that he had previously actively used the ’Map of Mountains and Rivers’ to lock down the nearby void, making it overly ambitious to even use various void techniques to escape, truly a case of tying his own hands.

After all, who would have thought... what was originally catching a turtle in a jar by dispatching two Great True Monarchs, would encounter such a dumbfounding situation?!

If the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect had another God Transformation combatant outside, they would have long rebuilt the Holy Land, and wouldn’t have allowed the five branches to remain in such a dire state for so many years.

’I... agree to your terms.’

Driven by a desperate desire to survive, True Monarch Xu Yun couldn’t help but transmit his voice to some mysterious existence.

"Hmm?"

Fang Xing raised an eyebrow, only to see the spiritual power of heaven and earth converging ahead, vaguely forming an Arhat Golden Body.

An extremely terrifying mana fluctuation emerged.

"Benevolent one, where you can spare, spare them!"

From the golden face of the Arhat giant, an elderly voice sounded.

"Drawing on heaven and earth spiritual power, a God Transformation cultivator?"

Martial Arts Will from Fang Xing soared to the sky, manifesting as the Great Sun Tathagata Dharma, instantly sweeping away all the oppressed spiritual power, and he coldly laughed in response, "Seems like a divinity cultivator who didn’t die completely, only a trace of the primordial spirit left... What is this? An accompanying old grandpa? Worthy of a Great True Monarch, each one a protagonist of their time... Die to me!"

Now, even if Fang Xing encountered a living God Transformation cultivator, he dared to exchange blows, naturally not likely to be scared off by a mere remnant soul.

He struck out with his palm, and immediately behind him, the Great Sun Tathagata Dharma transformed into Vajra’s Angry Eyes, becoming the Immovable Ming King, whose great hand descended.

Whoosh!

The red and blue spiritual power of heaven and earth clashed like tides, stirring up towering waves.

Then...

That Arhat Golden Body was engulfed by the red spiritual force...

"Not good, this junior has no respect for martial virtues; we must flee quickly."

True Monarch Xu Yun, upon hearing the intention transmitted from his own Venerable’s remnant soul, was greatly alarmed.

This was his last resort.

But it seemed still ineffective against that Body Cultivation Great True Monarch!

This ’Venerable Jue Ming’, whom he obtained during his Core Formation in a relic Cave Mansion, had always been a secretly kept great opportunity.

Without the other’s guidance, he could never have condensed his Nascent Soul nor break into the late stage of Nascent Soul.

But unexpectedly, even Venerable Jue Ming couldn’t handle Fang Xing!

"I will soon use Primordial Spirit Technique, to shake that junior’s mind... If you miss this opportunity again, death is certain."

Fortunately, the voice of Venerable Jue Ming came again, giving True Monarch Xu Yun some peace: ’Venerable Jue Ming, if I manage to escape this calamity, I promise to refine a body for you! Live a second life!’

Then...

He heard the scream of Venerable Jue Ming!

"Ah!"

The voice of Venerable Jue Ming contained shock and pain... and then fell into silence.

True Monarch Xu Yun didn’t even open his mouth when he saw Fang Xing come before him, his face involuntarily showing a trace of despair...

...

A moment later.

Fang Xing carefully collected the Nascent Souls of two Great True Monarchs and individually checked the storage bags.

"Uh? Worthy of a Great True Monarch, truly rich, there are quite a few top-grade Spirit Stones..."

"Eh? There’s even a ’Nascent Infant Pill’? My cultivation avatar is in luck, definitely able to break through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul..."

’And there are also these several bottles of Spiritual Medicine, which should definitely enhance the mana further...’

Suddenly, a flash of spiritual light appeared in his hand, revealing a pitch-black wooden carving.

This wood carving was crafted in the form of an Arhat sitting on a lotus base, with a kind, gentle face and soft lines.

The wooden carving was pitch black, with a faint but penetrating scent of sandalwood emanating from it.

Fang Xing just lightly sniffed it and felt his spirits lift immediately, "Is this... Yanpo Sandalwood? One of the three great Divine Sense treasures along with the Soul Nourishing Tree and Heavenly Heart Wood mentioned in the legends?"

This piece of wood was at least of the fifth grade.

Moreover, within the Arhat statue, there was a faint trace of Primordial Spirit fluctuations that he was very familiar with.

"After the death of a Divinity Transformation cultivator, only a trace of Primordial Spirit remains, relying on the Yanpo Sandalwood to sustain its vitality? Indeed, the higher the realm of a cultivator, the harder it is for them to truly die..."

Fang Xing shook the statue in his hand, "No need to hide anymore..."

"Amidha Buddha... The monk ’Jue Ming’ greets the benefactor," a thin voice of Divine Sense transmission emanated from the Arhat statue. "The benefactor’s cultivation talent is unbelievably incredible, far surpassing those Void Refining great powers and even Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators in history... Could it be a True Immortal reincarnated?"

Venerable Jue Ming’s voice carried a trace of flattery.

"If you’re good at saying nice things, say more..."

Fang Xing smiled as he looked at the wooden carving, rendering Venerable Jue Ming momentarily speechless, realizing that this Body Cultivation Great True Monarch seemed to have a very different personality from other cultivators.

Nevertheless, as a Buddhist Venerable, he excelled in sugar-coated words, "Previously, I was controlled by others and had no choice but to confront you directly, I hope the benefactor can forgive me..."

"You were quite bold before, daring to launch a Divine Sense Attack at me," Fang Xing continued with a smile.

Venerable Jue Ming was speechless once again.

This puzzled him greatly.

He was a Buddhist practitioner and a God Transformation Venerable, highly proficient in the application and essence of Divine Sense.

Yet he had not expected that his fully unleashed ’Golden Buddha Lion Roar’ would have no effect on this Great True Monarch before him, and even backlashed, nearly causing his barely recovered Primordial Spirit to achieve Nirvana...

’Could it really be... a True Immortal reincarnated?’

A speculation emerged in Venerable Jue Ming’s mind.

"Venerable monk Jue Ming, you’re a God Transformation Venerable, although Buddhist practitioners are rare in the Hanhai Immortal Cultivation World, how did you end up in such a plight?"

Fang Xing was curious.

A God Transformation Venerable was among the top echelons of the Hanhai Immortal Cultivation World and theoretically, shouldn’t be so unlucky.

Could it be... he encountered a Divinity Transformation Venerable?

"Ah... Calculated Sect Dao is practiced among cultivators in this world, which tends to reject Buddhist practitioners... The ’Vajra Prajna Temple’ where I belonged was a heritage left by an Upper Realm Buddhist Great Power during the last Descent... With little Buddhist heart, I diligently cultivated for many years and finally advanced to God Transformation. I originally wanted to spread the Buddhist teachings, but then the Ancient Demon Chaos occurred!"

Venerable Jue Ming’s voice carried a trace of fear, "That ancient demon’s Divine Skills were astonishing, likely a Great Power who fell from the Void Refining state. For the sake of all living beings, I had no choice but to confront the demon with my body... Sadly, my Buddhist cultivation was insufficient. My Arhat Golden Body was destroyed by that ancient demon, and my Primordial Spirit was nearly extinguished... Luckily, a trace of my Primordial Spirit remained, housed within this statue, barely clinging to survival..."

"So, you’re another unfortunate soul from the Ancient Demon Chaos," Fang Xing reflected with some emotion.

Back then, who knew how many significant figures died secretly at the hands of the ancient demon.

’In this world, Nascent Soul True Monarchs live a thousand years, and God Transformation cultivators have a lifespan of about two thousand years. Only by achieving Void Refining Ascension can one be free from the worries of lifespan... Considering the time, Venerable monk Jue Ming isn’t far from his lifespan’s limit either, a few hundred years at most...’

Fang Xing asked, "Descent... what does that mean?"

"Benefactor may not know... Our Hanhai Immortal Cultivation World, attached above the ’Qian Yuan Great World,’ and like the ’Qian Yuan Great World’, such human realms, from the Buddhist perspective, number one hundred thousand nine thousand six hundred, with countless cultivators and beings proliferating, practicing... Once breaking through Void Refining, one can ascend across realms to the Upper Realm, but there are several divisions in the Upper Realm, such as the ’Spirit Realm’ where the cultivators of this realm ascend, the ’Demon Realm’ where ancient demons belong, and the ’Brahma World’ from whence my ancestor came... The Void is unpredictable, and it is immensely difficult to ascend from the Lower Realm to the Upper Realm, and nearly impossible to descend from the Upper Realm to the Lower Realm... unless by a fortuitous coincidence, when the power of the boundary domain is weakened by a millionfold—that is the time of ’Descent’, which typically does not last long... On the other hand, the intersections between many Lower Realms may last longer."

’So, it’s an intersection of spaces?!’

Fang Xing immediately thought of the Boundary Land in the Da Xia World, which fundamentally was also an overlap of two vast spaces.

"So that’s how it is, but while Lower Realm cultivators have reasons to ascend through arduous practice, why would Upper Realm cultivators want to descend?"

Fang Xing pondered a doubt, "Could it be that there’s something special about the Qian Yuan Great World?"

"Amidha Buddha... my Buddha liberates all beings, sending Buddha’s sons to descend is to spread the teachings..."

Venerable Jue Ming continued, "As for why that ancient demon descended, and what grievance it has with the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect, I truly have no knowledge."

"I see."

Fang Xing nodded, apparently believing him.

Venerable Jue Ming seized the opportunity to further persuade, "Although I am not well-learned, I am quite familiar with the Hanhai Immortal Cultivation World and know several ruins and chances for Buddha’s treasures... I am willing to offer all to the benefactor, hoping only to always accompany the benefactor, to relieve and resolve concerns for the benefactor."

"Ha ha... are you used to acting like an ever-present old grandfather, or are you afraid I’ll simply extinguish you?"

Fang Xing laughed heartily, somewhat intrigued, but soon gave up the idea.

After all, he wasn’t truly a native, and he had too many secrets.

What use was having an ever-present old grandfather?

Moreover... this God Transformation Venerable might not be telling the truth, and his ’Ten Thousand Heart’ secret technique was still somewhat lacking, making it difficult to Soul Search a Divinity Transformation cultivator.

Fortunately... his methods were not limited to the ’Ten Thousand Heart’ techniques.

"The monk... indeed has selfish motives, and is willing to hand over all my savings to the benefactor, hoping only that the benefactor can one day refine a body for me..."

Venerable monk Jue Ming spoke earnestly.

"Well then... please come into my Sea of Consciousness, and be ready for consultation."

Fang Xing grabbed the Arhat statue, his spiritual power overflowing, and found the faintly shining golden Primordial Spirit deep within the statue.

And then...

He opened up his own Sea of Consciousness and welcomed the other’s Primordial Spirit inside.
