Chapter 656: Return to the Immortal Realm
"Insect Civilization, the third Eternal being?"
"We're doomed, definitely done for..."
"This is no longer just a disaster for the Star Sky Civilization, but a disaster for the entire human race..."
Little Grey, being more knowledgeable, commented: "If the Star Sky Civilization and the Exotic Beast Civilization don't have a second hidden Eternal being, then we're all doomed..."
"Everyone..."
Li Ying was suddenly terrified.
Fang Xing glanced down and said, "You will follow me into battle. New Blue Star will serve as the main station. If danger arises, I will naturally send you into my Inner Universe. At least, before I die in battle, there shouldn't be a major problem..."
In fact, with the Gate of All Heavens, even an Eternal being won't be able to capture him.
And this was also a time for selection. Fang Xing decided to let these people voluntarily choose whether or not to follow him to the battlefield.
If they don't want to come, then so be it...
"We are willing to follow the Lord!"
Lin Qianzhu and Lei Ming quickly bowed.
They were among the most benefited group after Fang Xing arrived.
At this moment, with the summons from the Star Sky Civilization above and Fang Xing, the Great Ability, watching below, there was no possibility of escape, only a fight to the death.
"Since that's the case, let's begin."
Fang Xing laughed heartily, and the entire New Blue Star shook violently!
The massive planetary engine roared, and the planet's body began to elongate, transforming into a saucer shape.
In what seemed like an instant, it changed from a habitable planet into a giant spaceship in the starry sky!
The spaceship roared, like a War Fortress, flying toward the Ophiuchus Wormhole!
...
Ophiuchus Wormhole.
The New Blue Star spaceship arrived, and scarlet warnings appeared one by one.
[Wormhole closed!]
[Passage prohibited!]
[This order! Decided by the highest council of the Star Sky Civilization!]
[Defiers! Kill!]
...
With the throughput of this wormhole, even a day's halt would result in tremendous losses.
But in the face of a war involving the survival of a Peak Civilization, it was nothing!
"Alright, everyone continue your routine patrols as scheduled."
Fang Xing looked at his group below: "If danger arises, return to New Blue Star immediately..."
"Yes!"
Li Ying and the others, regardless of their feelings, all responded in unison at this time.
'Little Grey, Little Grey...'
After flying out of New Blue Star, Li Ying suddenly became spirited: "I see that great one doesn't seem to require us to be reckless, even allowing us the freedom to come and go... What do you think about me running a bit farther and then entering Yuanzhong Temple to escape?"
"Hmm, very good, I completely agree with your decision."
Little Grey said: "The universe is so vast... As long as we hide in some dark area, the Insect Civilization won't be able to find us."
"Right? You also think it's a good plan, right?"
Li Ying nodded: "Then I've decided... not to leave, but to hold tight to the Lord's thigh."
Little Grey was startled, then became somewhat exasperated: "Why?"
"No reason, just that I'm used to being misled by you, gained experience from that... You always want me dead, so any plan you agree with is surely a pitfall."
Li Ying stroked his chin: "Being the clever person I am, I'll definitely do the opposite..."
Little Grey was triggered, and immediately began rolling on the ground in anger: "You fool! I really want to live now... Do you know what the Insect Civilization entails? Your Lord is amazing enough to be a Fourth Rank Dharma Master; even if he's a Fifth or Sixth Rank, he's just trash in front of an Eternal Realm! You still want to follow him to survive? I'm merely reluctant to see the Yuanzhong Temple get devoured by bugs, which is why I'm specially saving you..."
"Not listening, not listening, stubborn tortoise reciting."
Li Ying smiled faintly: "I'm a very stupid person, but at least I know one thing, once a decision is made, it must be executed... Standing still and waiting is the most wasteful action."
...
New Blue Star.
Inside the palace.
A wisp of Fang Xing's consciousness manipulated the Black Dragon, began to hibernate in the Da Xia Great Realm, cultivating Spirit Treasure Palace disciples, inheriting numerous legacies of the Green Emperor Palace, and along the way, had the Yiling San Ren compete for various Primordial Spirit Secret Realm resources...
As for his true self, he sat cross-legged, quietly chanting the 'Great Sun Tathagata Mantra'!
On the attribute panel, the Master Level 'Immortal Great Sun King Spell' shimmered slightly, with a sub-symbol emerging underneath it, which was the 'Heavenly Mother's Mighty Golden Lotus Twin Guardian Manual'!
This Secret Transmission had long been cultivated by him to Grandmaster Perfect, One Qi Transformation.
At this moment, with the chanting and consumption of Source Power, a figure gradually appeared in the hall, constantly transforming from illusion to reality.
He had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, dressed in a green robe, exuding vibrant vitality.
Indeed, it was the Cultivation Avatar!
With Fang Xing's current Dao Master Realm strength, it was naturally simple to condense an avatar at the Dharma Master Realm.
He gazed at the Cultivation Avatar in front of him, lost in contemplation:
"The Cultivation Avatar originally followed the Space-Time Dao, cultivating the 'Space-Time Lotus' technique, but didn't delve deeply... Later it cultivated the Druid Inheritance, allowing it to follow the 'Natural Dao'!"
The Natural Dao is a top-tier Dao not inferior to, and perhaps even surpassing, the 'Dao of Panwu', and since its creator has long transcended, it is likely 'unclaimed' currently!
"The Natural Dao encompasses infinity, perhaps it can even embrace the Space-Time Dao?"
Fang Xing pondered, feeling somewhat tempted: "Of course, I can also dispel the 'Divine Demon Separation Technique', enabling the Cultivation Avatar to instantly comprehend the Dao of Panwu and transform into a Dao Lord Avatar!"
His original cultivation distinguished the Cultivation Avatar from his true self using secret techniques; his true self followed the Dao of Panwu, while the avatar pursued the Space-Time Dao.
The two Daos run parallel, and in the end, there might even be a chance to master two different Daos!
Now, with Fang Xing's true self already achieving Dao Lord, once the technique is released, he can directly gain an avatar in the Dao Master Realm.
A Dao Master of the Fourteenth Realm, known as 'Dao Lord' in the True Immortal Realm, is also a giant in the cultivation world.
Of course, the price is that the cultivation avatar is entirely stained by the Dao of Panwu, with no possibility of pursuing the Space-Time Dao or Natural Dao.
"For now, let it be... Comprehending the Dao is difficult. Without the 'Panwu Canon,' secret medicine, and the final opportunity in the All Gods World, I might not be able to comprehend the Dao of Panwu."
"However, the cultivation avatar can first go to the True Immortal Realm to inquire. If it encounters insurmountable danger, my true self can take action at any time..."
Fang Xing looked at his cultivation avatar.
Unlike before when there was only a trace of the primordial spirit, he now easily reshaped the avatar's body with just a slight use of the Power of Dao, and it even adopted the spirit root flow cultivation template.
"Now, my cultivation avatar has reached the Perfect True Immortal level, which is the limit of the Thirteenth Realm..."
Fang Xing sighed.
In the True Immortal Realm, True Immortals are comparable to Dharma Masters and are masters of the Thirteenth Realm.
Dao Lords are comparable to Daoists of Da Xia, ranking in the Fourteenth Realm!
As for Dao Venerables, Demon Venerables, they are eternally existent, ranking in the Fifteenth Realm.
"Go now!"
Fang Xing's true self activated the Gate of All Heavens, connecting to the True Immortal Realm and dispatched the cultivation avatar.
Whoosh!
A flash of light in the hall, and the cultivation avatar disappeared instantly.
...
True Immortal Realm.
It has been many years since the failure of the Dao Venerate's transcendence and the decline of the Dao Court.
The site of Dao Court.
The previously destroyed Jade Palace has been entirely rebuilt, now even more filled with immortal energy.
A flash of light!
Fang Xing's figure emerged, holding a wine gourd in his hand.
"Fairy Bixia, True Immortal Luo Yun..."
Thinking of these two friends, Fang Xing felt somewhat melancholic, uncorked the gourd, and poured the wine casually: "I haven't come to see you for many years, so let me first offer some wine... when I eventually break through to Dao Venerate, maybe I can bring you back..."
"It's quite laughable, after all these years of hard cultivation, we finally become immortals, only to find our mediocrity, merely one among the hundred thousand celestial soldiers and generals; when the monkey comes, we all turn to dust together..."
Fang Xing exhaled longingly: "On the contrary, the Dao Court still exists, which somewhat surpasses my expectations."
He looked into the distance and still saw the Dao Court majestic and glorious, the only difference being the absence of the purple aura extending thirty thousand miles to the east.
"The Dao Venerate can refine transcendent characteristics, possibly acquiring the Transcendence Inheritance."
"And the Demon Venerable, they certainly won't let me go..."
Fang Xing sighed, striding forward on his sword.
A sword light flickered, its speed incredibly fast, leaving the place in the blink of an eye.
"Daoist, please stay!"
At that moment, a divine sense transmission suddenly came from behind him.
Fang Xing's sword light did not pause, swiftly departing.
"What a fast sword escape, what a cold demeanor this Sword Immortal has..."
A water fairy manifested at the original spot, wearing an autumn-colored Daoist robe, gazing at the wine stains on the ground with wonder: "This person looking towards the Dao Court... pouring wine on the ground, could it be a memorial? Alas... how many True Immortals died because of the Heavenly Demon's transformation at the hands of the Demon Venerate back then?"
Just then, a series of Phoenix cries arose.
The female water fairy was momentarily taken aback and soon saw a chariot entirely composed of various colorful flowers descending, drawn by nineteen Perfect True Immortal level Phoenixes.
Around the convoy, multicolored tassels swayed, extraordinarily beautiful.
A pair of eyes like autumn water gazed directly over.
"Greetings to Dao Lord Autumn Water."
The female water fairy immediately saluted; this person is her grandmaternal master in terms of seniority.
As she saluted, she felt uneasy inwardly: 'Why did the grandmaster come here?'
"Who was just here..."
Dao Lord Autumn Water gazed at the place, suddenly waved a hand.
A surface of autumn water appeared, time seemed to rewind, showing a graceful green-robed Sword Immortal, with a yellow gourd in hand.
"It's actually this person?!"
Seeing the person, a hint of joy flashed in Dao Lord Autumn Water's beautiful eyes.
Various Dao Lords of the Dao Court searched from heavens to underworld for this immortal but could never find him.
Unexpectedly, they stumbled upon him right at her hands?
'This person has the transcendence inheritance in hand; if I obtain it, I could at least achieve Dao Venerate Realm!'
Dao Lord Autumn Water felt ecstatic.
"Reporting to the grandmaster..."
The water fairy then gathered her thoughts, preparing to disclose information about Fang Xing for a good price: "I just thought this Sword Immortal seemed extraordinary, that's why I tried to stop him from afar, but failed to hold him back..."
"This cause and effect is weak, but it's enough."
Dao Lord Autumn Water's eyes moved, a talisman appeared in her hand.
"Grandmaster?"
Before the water fairy could react, she was pasted with the talisman, let out a scream, and turned to ashes instantly.
A very weak cause and effect line appeared, pinched between Dao Lord Autumn Water's fingers...
