Chapter 541 Encounter
Sansheng Pass.
Inside the cave.
Fang Qing sat cross-legged, grabbed a jade bottle next to him, and poured all the pills inside into his mouth.
If other cultivators witnessed this scene, they would probably be stunned into silence.
After all, the 'Void Essence Pill' that Fang Qing consumed was a pill used by cultivators at the Void Refinement stage to improve their cultivation.
It takes several years of seclusion to slowly digest even one of them.
Not to mention the 'Xu Yuan Pills' in his hand, each one translucent with dazzling pill patterns, clearly top-grade pills free of poison!
If it were any other cultivator at the Void Refinement stage, firstly, they would be reluctant to part with it, and secondly, they would not have the financial means to eat a bottle of 'Void Essence Pills' like candy.
Too much medicine can be poisonous. So many top-grade pills are enough to burst the primordial spirit of a cultivator who has just reached the Void Refinement stage!
However, after Fang Qing swallowed it, his primordial spirit circulated internally, and the "Nine Heavens Heavenly Book" ran wildly. In his dantian, wisps of silver-white flames rose up, constantly refining the "Void Yuan Pill," turning the pure medicinal power into surging magical power, and suddenly launching a sprint towards a certain pass!
Whoosh!
The spiritual energy of the six levels around Fang Qing surged, like one giant dragon after another, constantly approaching him.
As they approached, the milky-white dragons shrank in size, transforming into giant pythons and slender snakes, which he then swallowed whole.
Crack!
Suddenly, as if a silver bottle had been broken and water had gushed out... the threshold of the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm was smashed open.
Fang Qing's magical power surged, reaching the late stage of the Void Refinement realm!
"Late stage of Void Refinement? Not bad..."
He closed his eyes slightly, and the 'Dao Sheng Pearl' inside his body spun around. The surging magical power within him instantly disappeared, transforming into wisps of 'Primordial Qi'!
In the blink of an eye, his cultivation level 'recovered' to the early stage of the Void Refinement realm.
With a cheat code, you can play like this!
If other cultivators knew that he had reached the late stage of the Void Refinement realm in just a few years after breaking through to the Void Refinement realm, they would probably all be dumbfounded.
But for Fang Qing, these are all basic operations.
The main focus is on the advancement of cultivation after reaching the Void Refinement stage in this world. The first step is the accumulation of visual power, and the second is the comprehension of the Great Dao.
For some reason, Fang Qing's understanding of the Great Dao of the Great Void progressed by leaps and bounds.
Judging from the fact that he vaguely connected with the 'Master Xuanguang' who failed to break through to Mahayana and whose Dao turned into an evil thing, his current understanding of the Dao of Taixu should be enough to break through to the peak of Dongxuan!
The only thing that restrained him was the accumulation of his own magical power.
However, for a grandmaster of alchemy, this is not a problem either.
His daily intake of pills through alchemy was insufficient to allow him to advance rapidly from the early stage of Void Refinement to the late stage in a short period of time.
But who can blame him when he has the wealth bestowed upon him by many Mahayana cultivators?
"Even without using the golden positions sealed by the Dao Life Pearl... my cultivation is still a bit lacking..."
"If it weren't for wanting to experience the differences between the minor realms of Refining Emptiness and Penetrating Profound Realms... I would have already rushed all the way to the Great Ascension Realm."
"Even without using the Dao Life Pearl to seal the Golden Position, we will still possess the combat power of a Divine Pill!"
suddenly!
Fang Qing's expression changed, and he took out the "Mountain and Sea Token" from his storage bag.
The Mountain and Sea Token was currently enveloped in a layer of silvery-white light, and the golden mark on its surface was particularly conspicuous.
"The Secret Realm of Mountains and Seas is about to open?"
He knew that whenever the secret realm opened, the Mountain and Sea Token would "teleport" all holders on the Mountain and Sea Continent to various parts of the secret realm.
The landing location is often random.
The abilities represented here are already extremely terrifying.
It is at least equivalent to the intervention of an immortal who has perfected the Great Dao of the Void.
That golden mark reminded Fang Qing of the corpses, seemingly those of immortals, deep within the secret realm…
"We have to go and see it, no matter what..."
"With the 'Dao Sheng Pearl' in hand, the secret realm cannot confine me..."
With a thought, Fang Qing let the silvery-white light from the Mountain and Sea Token envelop his entire body.
Then, he suddenly lost his footing and felt a sense of weightlessness, somewhat similar to the feeling of using the 'Dao Sheng Pearl' to travel.
When he came to his senses, he was already in a wilderness shrouded in white mist.
"The Secret Realm of Mountains and Seas... We've arrived!"
Fang Qing glanced at the Mountain and Sea Token in his hand, which no longer shone with silver light, then glanced at the golden patterns on it before casually tucking it into his pocket.
The surroundings were quiet, with a faint, subtle fragrance wafting through the air.
"It seems... there are no companions, and none nearby."
He murmured something, his divine sense spread out, and his expression suddenly changed.
The next moment!
Splash!
The soil below cracked open, and a jet-black flower emerged. The flower opened, revealing a large mouth filled with various sharp serrations.
One after another, mist descended, and a fragrance so strong that it could cause even a cultivator at the Cave Profound Realm to lose their magical power spread out.
"This... is a different race? It doesn't seem like... a demonic beast, nor..."
"I wonder how the ancient immortals created these living plants; perhaps they were for guarding purposes?"
A drop of rain appeared in Fang Qing's hand, which he flicked lightly.
A line of water slashed through the void, instantly cutting the flower in half, and countless bluish-black sap spilled out...
In the blink of an eye, this living plant, which posed a great threat to even cultivators of the Cave Profound Realm, collapsed and died.
Those countless limbs turned into ice and were frozen in an instant.
He reached out and grasped, and a ray of spiritual light enveloped several emerald crystals, which landed in his hand.
After collecting his spoils, Fang Qing did not leave immediately, but closed his eyes slightly.
Through the connection of the "Dao Sheng Pearl", he was able to sense the presence of another disciple.
That's the 'Lord of Jinluan Mountain'!
The opponent is currently inside a maze, battling numerous puppets at the Void Refinement level...
"Sure enough, this person came in too..."
But what Fang Qing was most concerned about was not this, but the series of Tai Xu coordinates!
These coordinates originally only covered the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm, but now they have "extended" into the Spirit Realm, scattering anchor points in the places where Fang Qing left his footprints.
It even extended beyond the spirit world, into the depths of outer space!
This has already exceeded Fang Qing's limited understanding of the void and the limits of the "Great Void Dao," and is now the all-encompassing power of the "Dao Sheng Zhu"!
"Sure enough, after comprehending the Great Dao of the Great Void, and with the control I gained over the Dao-Born Pearl after becoming a Golden Core True Monarch... I can now 'open doors' at will and enter and exit the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm... This place can no longer confine me."
Once Fang Qing confirmed that he had no worries about the future, he began to consider what he wanted to obtain in the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm.
"Yes, of course, immortal artifacts and immortal books... Immortal pills and elixirs would also be good."
Although it is extremely dangerous to rashly consume high-level pills, the cultivation world has never lacked examples of cultivators who risked consuming ancient pills and ended up exploding and dying.
But for Fang Qing, there was naturally no need to worry about this.
He only complained that the medicine wasn't strong enough!
"Celestial artifacts... the first one that should be mentioned is..."
Fang Qing patted the storage bag at his waist, and half of the [Taiyin Treasure Mirror] immediately appeared, like the bright moon emerging from the mountain. Wisps of Taiyin energy spread out, enveloping his entire figure, making it difficult for outsiders to see the figure inside.
"Hmm? Two fragments?"
He sensed it briefly and immediately detected the whereabouts of the other two fragments.
One of them is in the northwest direction, and it hasn't moved; it seems to have been lost somewhere.
Meanwhile, the other piece, which was moving at high speed, sensed its presence and accelerated again, heading towards the fixed fragment!
"Mahayana? Or Dongxuan?"
"This third fragment is indeed in the hands of the alien race... Could there be another one?"
Fang Qing immediately set off for the fixed fragment.
Within the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm, the void is sealed, and all cultivators can only travel by flying.
The journey was fraught with danger, so much so that even Mahayana cultivators dared not fly too fast.
……
a few days later.
"Is this the place?"
Fang Qing held the [Taiyin Treasure Mirror] in his hand, gazing at the palace complex ahead.
The palace was extremely desolate, faintly shrouded in a layer of light. The sky was dark, with only the fading moonlight, carrying a chilling aura.
Although there were no plaques or inscriptions, the moment he saw the palace, the [Taiyin Treasure Mirror] trembled slightly, and a realization dawned on him: "The Taiyin Pure Moon Palace... we've arrived!"
Although this palace is in ruins, it should be a core area of the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm, and there are also anti-flight restrictions around it.
Fang Qing readily agreed and entered the palace.
In his perception, another fragment had also arrived nearby and was heading towards him at an even faster speed!
"You're very confident!"
Fang Qing turned into a garden and stood on the jade bridge. He saw several figures suddenly emerge from behind a collapsed palace in front of him!
There were five cultivators in total, all of whom were at the first level of Mahayana cultivation. They were all silver-white, but their faces had traces of ink.
Its eyes were azure, and it barely resembled a human, but it had four abnormally long arms.
"The Modi tribe?"
Fang Qing recognized it; this was a powerful race on the Mountain and Sea Continent, rumored to have more than a dozen Mahayana cultivators in charge.
"The fragment is in his hands!"
One of the Modi tribe members held a compass in his hand. The compass was square, with chains extending outwards, binding a ray of moonlight in the center of the compass, making it like a 'pointer' pointing in Fang Qing's direction.
Upon hearing this, the other Mahayana cultivators of the Modi Clan immediately revealed a ferocious expression: "Attack!"
They only saw a bright moon with a figure in it, whose aura was only around the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm. Naturally, they did not hesitate to make a move.
Drops of pitch-black liquid spread across the ground, seemingly defiling the moonlight of the Moon Palace...
"It's starting to resemble a World God Technique..."
Looking at the pitch-black sky around him, Fang Qing felt as if he had been transported into a giant black egg.
Then, a Zen staff appeared in the hand of a Mahayana member of the Modi clan. It was pitch black and seemed to be corrupted as well. It transformed into a black dragon and roared over.
The other Mahayana practitioners of the Modi clan either formed hand seals or released magical treasures!
Several flying swords, an inkstone, and a scroll were unfurled... but these magical treasures all had one thing in common: they were as black as ink, as if they had all been soaked in ink.
At this moment, they unleashed their extraordinary power, drawing upon the power of the Great Dao, and crashed down upon Fang Qing!
"Coming here to die again?"
Fang Qing sneered, but sensed an extreme force of mutual generation and restraint. He gently stretched out his hand, and the radiance of [Ji Shui] surged, transforming into the authority of a Golden Core True Monarch: "Transform the turbid into the pure!"
