Chapter 588: Chapter 486 Returning Home

Time flies.

For the Mechanical City, Black Ring City, the destruction of a small ’Mechanical Ring’ seems like barely a ripple.

As for Fang Xing, he is quite leisurely.

After all, his life is supplied by the Shi Family, as long as he doesn’t cause trouble in reality, no one bothers him.

If he is willing to be ordinary, life can continue this way.

The only trouble might be finding no trace of the creator.

After all, in such a big world, who knows what the creator has transformed into, or if they have awakened any memory.

The only thing certain is that the creator is not dead yet!

On this particular day.

In the villa, at the practice field, Fang Xing sat cross-legged, his gaze sweeping over the attribute panel:

"Hmm... The secret martial arts that command the Six Secret Departments, has finally been completed?"

Back then, after conquering that market, he collected many secret transmissions, including those of ’History’ and ’Darkness’.

Thus, the Esoteric Sect’s Six Departments were no longer mere outlines, but had bones and flesh.

Fang Xing wanted to design the strongest esoteric martial arts that unite the Six Departments.

At this moment, his attribute panel suddenly shows a change:

[Six Void Skill: Mastery → Great Success!]

The so-called ’Six Void Skill’ naturally signifies the great success of the Esoteric Sect’s Six Martial Arts.

Fang Xing possessed an attribute panel, occasionally brushing up proficiency, causing the mastery of Six Void Skill to skyrocket, reaching the realm of Great Success.

Rumble!

In front of him came a blur of vision, revealing an indescribable gate.

This gate coexisted with green and yellow, carrying a scent of decay and life, as if it existed outside the Ether Realm, capable of descending to the mortal world!

"Gate of Longevity! Break!"

Fang Xing operated the Six Void Skill, launching a punch.

The Gate of Longevity shattered abruptly, causing a tremor in the mortal world, alerting the mystic realm that a ’worldly longevity being’ has been born!

After the Gate of Longevity broke, pure ether surged out, carrying with it a kind of indescribable vitality.

"The so-called ’longevity’ of longevity beings feels somewhat inferior... It seems to only live hundreds of years, fine, compared to these ordinary people who can hardly live decades, it does count as a ’species of longevity’..."

Fang Xing sighed, his consciousness fleeing into the Ether Realm.

Upon breaking through the Four Limitations, he was already able to enter the depths of the Ether Realm.

Slightly raising his head, he could see six bright divine lights, always residing at the highest level of the Ether Realm, seemingly within reach, yet also out of reach.

"Are they the Six Paths of Divinity?"

Fang Xing murmured.

After reading numerous secret transmissions, he already knew that above the rank of ’longevity being’, there are two further levels.

That is ’Angel’ and ’Divine’!

Moreover, ’Angel’ cannot be cultivated and must be recognized and elevated by a certain divine being!

As for divine beings?

The six divine beings seem to have existed eternally, with no method to achieve divinity!

"Creator..."

Fang Xing murmured.

"The creator either transformed into an ordinary human, or... transformed into a divine being?"

He pondered.

Though such reincarnation technology is daunting, the creator’s realm was higher than his own before, and seemed to have invested heavily in this world.

Transforming into a divine being with certain limitations is not impossible!

"If the creator really transformed into a divine being, did they regain previous memories? I suspect probably not."

Not to mention the power of the enigma of the womb, Fang Xing barely broke through with his Golden Finger, and the creator may still be sleeping for who knows how long.

If the creator were to awaken, truly become a divine being, and regain memories, they would undoubtedly kill him immediately.

"Perhaps... I’ll know in the future when I become a Godslayer."

Fang Xing looked up again at the six divine lights, consciousness returning to the mortal world.

...

"Master."

Several hours later, having broken the Third Limitation and been bestowed the ’Immovable Ming King body secret’ initiation by Fang Xing to become an Esoteric Master, Shi Lei, who had taught many disciples, walked in.

His expression devout and fervent, holding a mundane letter in both hands: "You have mail, from ’Cuiting City’..."

"’Cuiting City’... Such a long-forgotten name."

Fang Xing sighed. Nevertheless, he hadn’t forgotten this was his original body’s hometown, where many relatives still lived.

In his memory, the original body’s parents were employees of a geological exploration company, often traveling all over the world.

His elder brother seems to be a common civil servant, working from dawn to dusk.

The elder sister was working odd jobs in an archaeological team, reportedly with poor financial status.

As for his younger sister, she was still in school, probably studying high school courses now.

Fang Xing took the envelope, opened it with a glance, and furrowed his brow: "Hmm? My sister... Fang Qiong, is about to die?"

The original body had a good relationship with this sister, who even sent him money for living expenses.

"Yes..."

Shi Lei respectfully knelt to the ground: "According to Master’s instructions, I always had people secretly monitor and take care of... this incident was very sudden. After the archeological team excavated an ancient tomb, they all suddenly fell gravely ill. They claimed externally that they contracted ancient viruses and bacteria from the tomb... but I suspect it was a curse spread by an ancient Transcendent in their own tomb. Currently... more than half of the archeological team has been killed or injured and isolated... Our people tried extraordinary medicine, but found it could only delay the illness, with no major effect..."

As Shi Lei spoke to the end, he became more and more guilty, his voice involuntarily weakening a lot.

Even though he was a Master of the Esoteric Sect who broke through three major limits and was known externally as the ’Dharma King of the Mechanical Department’, even daring to fight and defeat Longevity Practitioners in both the Ether Realm and the mortal world,

He still felt increasingly humble and small in front of the Master of the Esoteric Sect... So much so that with just one word from the Master of the Esoteric Sect, he would lose everything he had.

"I will personally go to ’Cuiting City’ and resolve all this."

Shi Lei’s forehead touched the ground, his voice somewhat trembling as he spoke.

"No need, just think carefully... if I were still in school, I should have graduated by now, right? It’s time to go back and take a look."

Fang Xing said indifferently.

Although this world has flying machines and steam locomotives... it’s evident they are still experimental proofs of concept or toys for the rich aristocrats and major merchants.

It’s still very difficult for ordinary people to travel long distances.

And the family he originally came from can’t be considered very wealthy, otherwise, the original owner wouldn’t have been lured by a full scholarship to study so far away.

"Yes!"

Shi Lei exhaled a long breath: "Our Shi Family has already monopolized most of the traffic in Black Ring City, a private flying machine will soon arrive..."

"Hmm, let’s do it tomorrow then... Remember to prepare a gift for each of my family members."

Fang Xing nodded, his gaze somewhat distant.

...

Cuiting City.

This is a small agriculture-based city, not situated on any major transportation routes, nor does it have any famous scenery.

Only a product called ’Cuiting Champagne’ is quite famous.

The Fang family resided in the East District of Cuiting City, on the second floor of a cement building.

Downstairs, inside a regular restaurant.

Fang Xing cut a piece of steak and put it in his mouth, the thick juices instantly overflowing.

He nodded slightly, then sipped some Cuiting Champagne.

The fresh taste exploded between his lips and teeth, making him feel as if he was in a morning forest, savoring the sweet dewdrops...

"Not bad."

Having eaten and drunk his fill, Fang Xing wiped his hands with a napkin.

Beside him, Shi Lei followed him closely, reporting the situation: "Master... your elder sister is still in the isolation ward at ’Orwell Hospital,’ and her situation does not look optimistic... In addition, though your brother holds a position in the administrative department, it seems to be a cover, as he truly works for the ’Sixth Division of the Security Bureau,’ a department specifically dealing with Transcendent incidents and Mystics... Also, your younger sister is at the Cuiting High School, participating in a club that seems related to a secret society..."

As Shi Lei spoke, cold sweat formed on his forehead.

He had also put in great effort, personally investigated when he arrived, and then slowly found these traces.

"My eldest sister’s archeological team suspected of unlawfully excavating important relics, my brother serving in a special department, my sister in contact with the periphery of a mysterious organization at school..."

Fang Xing spoke slowly: "If my parents are also using a civilian facade while engaging in mysticism research externally for a long time, that would be even more interesting... What is a Transcendent family? This is it..."

After delivering the completely unfunny dark humor, he stood up, draped on a brown trench coat, and put on a black silk hat: "Let’s go... Let’s meet my older sister first."

...

Orwell Hospital.

Isolation Ward.

Inside a sickroom.

Fang Qiong wore a hospital gown with blue and white stripes, her cheeks were sunken, and she looked at the ceiling with lifeless eyes.

On her body, face... were densely packed black spots that made people shudder.

These spots seemed to have a life of their own, constantly expanding and devouring her Life Force.

Fang Qiong felt like she was turning into a mummified corpse, even breathing was difficult.

"If I ever have the chance, I will never go to that damned tomb again..."

She gasped heavily, her eyes filled with remorse.

She thought again of that relic and the nightmarish experience.

At the beginning of exploration, everyone in the archeological team was very excited, because from the inscriptions on the burial items excavated from the perimeter, the tomb owner might have been a great noble from the Gulan period.

The Gulan period was over five thousand years ago, a dazzling age beyond imagination!

But unexpectedly, after entering the true burial site, they found nothing!

Not only that, but upon leaving, they immediately contracted a terrible virus, falling ill and dying one after another...

Fang Qiong didn’t even know how she held on till now.

Obviously, even the strongest person in the team had died, and they weren’t even heavier than a child before they perished!

"But... probably it’s my turn soon too?"

Fang Qiong thought to herself.

"What are you doing?"

"This is the isolation ward, no entry allowed!"

Suddenly, an angry and surprised voice from a nurse came from outside.

Then, the sickroom was suddenly opened, and a figure appeared.

"You are... Ah Xing? You came to see me? No no... leave quickly!"

Having clearly seen the visitor, Fang Qiong’s face immediately changed dramatically.

"No need to be afraid, I came to see you."

Fang Xing looked thoughtfully at the pitch-black spots on Fang Qiong’s body: "Is it the influence of the Dark Path?"
