Chapter 396 A Contingency Plan
A void.
The vast emptiness transformed into arcs of light, revealing a passageway.
Across the passage, the faint outlines of pavilions, towers, and palaces flashed by—clearly a secret realm!
At this moment, two figures hurriedly fled from the passage, seemingly afraid that the spatial passage would shatter in the next instant and their physical bodies would be destroyed in the void storm.
Both of these cultivators were at the Nascent Soul stage. One of them had unusual features and was lame in one leg; he was none other than the Lame Immortal.
The other one was a female cultivator, dressed in a blue robe with bright red cuffs; she was none other than Zhan Hongxiu!
Zhan Hongxiu gazed at the closing secret realm passage behind her, a smile spreading across her face. "I haven't deceived you, have I? What do you think of that Xuanli Yuan Crystal?"
"Excellent, excellent—I never imagined that you, fellow Daoist, possessed such a secret technique for refining this Yuan Crystal—"
The lame immortal smiled broadly: "It seems that when the secret realm reopens next time, we can have a lot to cooperate on."
He met Zhan Hongxiu during the attack on Fujian Island, and he also recognized that this Kunxiu was a notorious wanted criminal in the East China Sea cultivation world.
But so what?
The major forces that once wanted Zhan Hongxiu are now either in decline or have been destroyed.
Furthermore, Zhan Hongxiu herself successfully condensed her Nascent Soul!
Therefore, even when acting in his true form, he did not cause any trouble.
In fact, according to the old rules of the cultivation world in the East Sea, no matter what crime a Core Formation cultivator committed and was wanted, the arrest warrant would be withdrawn after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, which would be considered a fresh start—unless they were relentlessly pursued by top forces, even those at the Nascent Soul stage.
Not to mention, although Zhan Hongxiu is only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, her magical power and supernatural abilities are astonishing, almost reminding the Lame Immortal of that powerful Nascent Soul cultivator who had occupied his Copper Immortal Island for many years.
Hehe—Hongxiu, do you think what I said is right? We helped him collect Xuanli Yuan Crystals, and he should thank us—as for the Xuan Yuan Qi we gathered using secret techniques, there's no need to tell him that anymore—
The East Sea is brimming with opportunities. The fact that the lame immortal, a rogue cultivator, could cultivate to the mid-Nascent Soul stage is indeed a testament to his great fortune; he even possesses the method to enter and exit this secret realm.
Within his sea of consciousness, the old turtle sneered.
That profound primordial energy is very beneficial to Nascent Soul cultivation. You are refining it with your Nascent Soul—it will greatly benefit your future cultivation and breakthroughs in bottlenecks.”
However, that secret realm can no longer be visited. With the "Profound Origin Qi" drawn away, that cold pool will inevitably dry up, making it difficult to produce anything like Profound Origin Crystals anymore.
Zhan Hongxiu listened silently, her expression unchanged.
Clearly, after so many years of cultivation, he had encountered countless opportunities, and there were many instances where he used his own superior methods to obtain more treasures. He had been extremely kind and righteous to the lame immortal.
"Fellow Daoist Zhan, would you like to visit my Copper Immortal Island? The East Sea is in too much chaos these days; we rogue cultivators should stick together—"
The lame fairy extended the invitation, his tone very sincere.
He genuinely felt he should try to win over this fellow Daoist Zhan.
"Alright then————"
After a moment of restraint, Zhan Hongxiu agreed.
Two streaks of light, one after the other, headed towards Copper Immortal Island.
suddenly!
The outline of an island market town came into view ahead.
"We've lingered in this secret realm for many days; why don't we go and see what changes have occurred in the cultivation world?"
Zhan Hongxiu concealed her magical power fluctuations, transformed into an ordinary-looking Core Formation female cultivator, and landed in the market.
The lame immortal chuckled, equally curious.
Then, they sat down in a teahouse and casually gave the waiter a spirit stone. The waiter then began to tell them about the major events that had recently occurred in the cultivation world of the East Sea.
"What? The Grand Master of Shuiyue Palace and the Holy Monk Longshu failed to achieve Nascent Soul status? Could this be a rumor deliberately released by the merchants?"
The lame immortal's expression changed.
What does it mean for the Tianji Sect to be destroyed?
"Fang Shui, a legendary cultivator with the Void Spirit Root—single-handedly suppressed two top-tier forces and annihilated the Heavenly Fiend Old Monster?"
As Zhan Hongxiu listened, her beautiful eyes were also filled with shock. She exchanged a glance with the lame immortal, and the two Nascent Soul cultivators couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.
Although the trip to the secret realm didn't take too long, the outside world seemed to have undergone a complete transformation—
On a deserted island in the East China Sea.
There is no spiritual energy or vegetation on the island.
Only by going deep underground can one find a cellar, which is paved with "spirit-sealing stones" on all four sides, with no passageway to enter or exit.
In the center of the cellar stood a pitch-black coffin, bound with iron chains and covered with yellow talismans.
The moment the Heavenly Fiend Old Monster's Nascent Soul self-destructed, countless yellow talismans spontaneously combusted without wind.
Splash!
The iron chain fell to the ground, and the lid of the black coffin slid off, crashing heavily to the ground.
There was no corpse inside the coffin, only a nascent soul!
The Second Nascent Soul Secret Technique!
"I... I'm awake?"
A nascent soul, entirely black, opened its eyes, a hint of joy mixed with fear on its face: "Since I have awakened, my original self must have perished—with his techniques, treasures, and supernatural powers—"
"He actually perished? Haha—I am dead! I am now the true Heavenly Fiend!"
It stretched, two small horns sprouting from its forehead, and looked around: "I'm so stingy—keeping a backup plan for resurrection, instead of keeping a body for possession, even a fourth-tier puppet would have been better—is it afraid I'll suddenly break free and be difficult to control?"
"That's enough—without any burden, I can directly escape into the void and find a body with ease—"
The key is to find out the truth about the deceased!
It is only a second Nascent Soul, with a cultivation level around the mid-Nascent Soul stage. Without a suitable body to possess, it would be difficult to unleash much power.
After a quick inventory, he put several of the burial treasures into a jet-black bracelet, put the bracelet on his dark wrist, and with a thought, entered the void!
Only Nascent Soul cultivators can physically traverse the void.
However, ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators in the early and middle stages—if they detach from their physical bodies, their Nascent Souls can also roam freely in the void!
Whoosh!
The second nascent soul of the Heavenly Fiend Old Monster entered the void, and his expression suddenly froze.
Suddenly, raging flames seemed to engulf the surrounding area. A black-robed cultivator looked over, a smile on his face: "Fellow Daoist—I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
"Damn it—could I have really been defeated so completely?"
The nascent soul with horns on its head cursed and tried to return to the mortal world, but the "Heavenly Blazing Banner" had already stretched out, sealing off the void.
Then, a hand pressed down on its little head: "Your original self was annihilated too decisively, surely to cover up a few resurrected backup plans—unfortunately, to me, all of this is futile."
Fang Qing sighed, gazing at the second Nascent Soul in his hand, and fell into deep thought.
To kill this nascent soul would be an easy task.
However, the Heavenly Fiend Old Monster is no ordinary great cultivator. Even at the second Nascent Soul stage, he has great value.
At least it can easily break through to the late stage of Nascent Soul, or even cultivate to the peak of Nascent Soul!
The reason it's not possible during slumber is not because it's impossible, but because the Heavenly Fiend Old Monster doesn't want the second Nascent Soul to be too strong and take over.
But Fang Qing had no such reservations: "You—want to live or die? If you want to die, just say so. If you want to live, I can make you the only Heavenly Fiend Old Monster!"
"The only fiendish old monster?"
The second nascent soul blinked.
"Of course, do you think the Heavenly Fiend Old Monster's only life-saving method is a second Nascent Soul?"
Fang Qing chuckled and silently activated the "Radiant Spirit Fiery Blade"!
Bear!
In an instant, a blazing sun appeared, its terrifying heat seemingly scorching the heart of the second nascent soul—
"I—am willing to submit—"
The Nascent Soul cultivators of the Demonic Path always kneel down very quickly.
Before long, the second Nascent Soul knelt on Fang Qing's palm and respectfully said, "Greetings, Master—"
"Um."
Fang Qing accepted the Heavenly Fiend Old Monster because he felt that the other party was of good quality and cheap price.
With a little training, he will be at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, enough to dominate the cultivation world of the East Sea, saving me a lot of trouble.
and----
I still have three Nascent Soul cultivators at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and the "Six Harmonies Primordial Spirit Manual"—it would be a shame not to give it a try, but I certainly wouldn't do it myself.
The Heavenly Fiend Old Monster seems to possess excellent aptitude, fortuitous opportunities, and comprehension; he should have the potential to reach the Nascent Soul stage.
If I could cultivate a demonic cultivator who has reached the Nascent Soul stage as a subordinate, then I would also have my own immortal subordinates and envoys.
As a series of thoughts surfaced in Fang Qing's mind, he calmly said, "From this day forward, you are Tian Sha—your original self still has two life-saving measures left: one is a sealed part of your divine soul, which is located in an underwater palace, and the other is a descendant of your bloodline, who is active on Dongxing Island—both are now in your hands."
"yes!"
Tian Sha respectfully agreed. Although even it had no memory of this matter after the resurrection of the original body, since it was said by the master, it must be true!
"Very well, you may go now."
Fang Qing took away the "Dutian Blazing Flame Banner" and traveled for a while in the Great Void before arriving at the Jade Spring Island in the Little World of Immortal Cultivation.
At this moment, next to Jade Spring Island, there was a large, blood-red island. Although it looked dilapidated and covered with bloodstains and filth, its spiritual energy, which was close to the fourth-grade high level, was not fake.
This Blood Fiend Island truly lives up to its reputation as the stronghold of demonic cultivators—it must have used feng shui techniques to relocate a large number of spiritual veins to the island to create its current high-grade fourth-tier spiritual energy environment.
For Nascent Soul cultivators, it is difficult to find elixirs to enhance their magical power in the mortal realm, so meditation and cultivation are the mainstream practices.
For a Nascent Soul cultivator, a cave dwelling brimming with spiritual energy is a powerful tool that allows him to achieve twice the results with half the effort!
After Fang Qing took over Blood Fiend Island, he naturally did not abandon it, but moved it to the Xiao Huan Hai Immortal Cultivation World and settled it next to Jade Spring Island.
"Congratulations, young master—you have obtained a fourth-tier superior spirit island."
A streak of light flew over, revealing Yu Xiang'er's figure.
Having once been a demonic cultivator in the East Sea, she had naturally heard of the infamous Blood Fiend Island. Seeing that even this island had become her young master's spoils of war, she couldn't help but feel proud. Her eyes were warm and gentle, making one almost want to melt into them.
