Chapter 738 - Wound
Chapter 738: Wound
“Bold mortal, you dare scorn the majesty of the Heavenly Court and forcefully covet the Deity Position!!!”
Once the Deity Position entered his body, it instantly emitted a great power.
The memories converged, even becoming a majestic God with a jade-like body in Fang Yuan’s mind. He was wearing royal robes and had a thunder-like voice.
This was the backlash of forcefully refining the Deity Position!
Luo Liyi’s previous condition was only a slow process. Even though Fang Yuan had interrupted it, the backlash was not very strong, merely having her Qi and blood churn.
However, this was totally different. The dignity and will contained in the Deity Position wanted to damage Fang Yuan’s sea of consciousness and make him die a tragic death!
The only benefit to succeeding was that the Deity Position would be immediately suppressed. It could be said that Fang Yuan had chosen a method that others saw as the most troublesome.
However, he had his own reasons.
Just when the God in Fang Yuan’s sea of consciousness wanted to unleash his power, his face revealed shock. “What… is this?”
As this was the Spiritual Realm, Fang Yuan could not display origin power even if he was completely healed. This was to prevent attracting a truly powerful existence.
However, in his body, there was no such constraint. He quickly moved a thread of origin power.
Kaboom!
This origin power was like a wicked dragon, directly transforming into huge waves and drowning the jade-colored God.
“Ahhh… this… Mental Demon Realm… You’re a monster from the Mental Demon Realm!” the God exclaimed.
Unfortunately, he could not even block for a second before turning into a green symbol that was suppressed at the bottom of Fang Yuan’s sea of consciousness. Then a large amount of memories surfaced. They were Lord Bright Jade’s life experiences and much of what he had left behind.
Of course, most important was still the key to activating the array!
In a split second, the Deity Position was suppressed!
Fang Yuan raised his head and glanced at the God and Earth Immortals.
Although he could eliminate them with just a casual move, he would have to use origin power.
Since he could not do so at the moment, he used a spell and an Earth Immortal’s strength was recklessly unleashed. “Huge changes in the world! Bright Jade Shift, rise!”
A white jade alter instantly appeared beneath him.
This was the final escape technique that Lord Bright Jade had left for his successor, the Bright Jade Shift Array!
Kaboom!
White light enveloped Fang Yuan and he immediately disappeared on the spot.
The next moment.
They attacked, destroying the Golden Jade Palace.
Within the airborne jade scraps, shocked and lifeless faces were revealed. “Impossible!”
“My Deity Position!” Xi Nation’s City God’s eyes were blood-red, quickly staring at Curmudgeon Vast Ocean. “Your immortal sect better give me an explanation, or else I’ll report it to the Heavenly Court!”
“That Earth Immortal isn’t someone from the Vast Ocean Sect!”
Curmudgeon Vast Ocean was too heartbroken for tears.
…
Somewhere an unknown distance from the Valley of Fallen Gods.
A light flashed in the air and countless lines gathered, distorted… before finally forming a white jade alter.
Space shattered and Fang Yuan’s figure materialized.
“This place…”
He looked around—steep cliffs and alarmed animals. It was apparently somewhere deep in a boundless forest.
“To his descendent, Lord Bright Jade was very meticulous. Unfortunately… he was too smart for his own good. In the end, I obtained the advantages!”
To Fang Yuan, a heavenly noble Deity Position was nothing. It was simply something used to understand the secrets of this realm’s Divine Dao through the Divine Dao Decree.
What was truly useful to him were Lord Bright Jade’s life experiences and memories.
With them, he instantly became an aged antique. He was also very clear on ancient secrets, the Heavenly Court’s secrets, and the filthiness within the Divine Dao and Immortal Dao.
This naturally provided him with great assistance in understanding the Spiritual Realm. If he were to wander the realm in the future, it was unlikely he would be recognized.
“After the events at the Valley of Fallen Gods, they’ll likely be desperately looking for me like they were mad. They might even try divining my location, but… hehe…”
Once Fang Yuan thought of that, he could not help revealing the hint of a smile.
This realm had techniques to divine as well. However, his nature was deeply hidden. With the concealment of origin power and the few clues the Gods and Immortals had obtained, they would not be able to divine anything in the end.
“The Heaven Immortals in this realm are merely Sages, so how could they divine me? Even if it’s a Golden Immortal, which is above Heaven Immortal, it’s also unlikely…”
With the memories of Lord Bright Jade, he was able to self-cultivate the Elemental Spiritual Energy Cultivation Technique beyond Earth Immortal. Fang Yuan could finally confirm that Earth Immortals were similar to the Seventh Tier Illusionary Divines of the Da Qian World. The Heaven Immortals were thus similar to Sages.
“In fact, what Lord Bright Jade specialized in was the Divine Dao! Within the Divine Dao, it isn’t divided based on authority and Heavenly Edicts, but purely based on power. For example, Xi Nation’s City God’s strength is definitely above other average earthly City Gods, and he can be counted as a peak Earth Immortal, only below Heaven Immortal. This is completely dependent on the amount of worship and the reach of his powers… And the Heavenly Court wields control over Yin and Yang, allowing them to suppress the Three Realms. The authority of the Celestial Thearch and Stellar Gods must definitely cover all of the Spiritual Realm. Really quite terrifying!”
Lord Bright Jade had also held a high position and authority in the Heavenly Court. His battle power was comparable to a Heaven Immortal, only below some Ancient Gods and the Celestial Thearch. Thus, he was naturally remarkable.
Everything was swallowed by Fang Yuan this time. It was a complete lost for him; on the other hand, Fang Yuan had a full stomach.
“In the past… the Mental Demon Realm had invaded the Spiritual Realm once, and the wound has yet to recover. No wonder when I was on the Terra World, the Spiritual Realm immediately cut its losses when they felt the Mental Demon Realm’s presence.
“Even Lord Bright Jade death was related to that invasion!”
Fang Yuan raised his head and gazed at the starry night sky.
Around the sun, two small stars orbited. One was green; another was purple. Everywhere on the Spiritual Realm was also like this.
Originally, he thought that it was the Spiritual Realm’s natural appearance, but he now knew that it was the realm’s wound!
“That purple star was transformed from a foreign power the Mental Demon Realm had left when it invaded. At every moment, it is emitting an evil power. The reason why the Spiritual Realm is not decaying is completely thanks to the support of many great Gods and Heaven Immortals!”
Fang Yuan clearly knew the horrors of the Mental Demon Realm.
A drop of origin power could contaminate an entire world.
And how much power did they leave in that purple star?
“Most importantly… I have origin power in my body, but I can’t sense the evil of that star at all. Solely this is very frightening!”
This point proved the strength of the Spiritual Realm. It had locked all of the origin power in the purple star, protecting the peace and stability of the Spiritual Realm.
Otherwise, it might be even possible that all of the Spiritual Realm would change into a purgatory once the purple star exploded!
“But the Spiritual Realm merely managed to imprison it. Every year, there would be many evil presences born on that purple star that need to be eliminated. Lord Bright Jade had died on one of those regular punitive expeditions.
“To all Immortals and Gods of the Spiritual Realm, that place is a land of evil—the home of death… But to me, that place is practically paradise!”
Fang Yuan muttered and looked toward the purple star, his gaze filled with indescribable desire.
Just by refining a drop of origin power, he was able to break through beyond a Sage. And in that star, how much origin power had accumulated?
Although a characteristic of origin power was that it could endlessly multiply, that was only for the derived secondary power. The actual origin power itself was still very valuable.
“If I was there, I would be like a fish in water… Wait a minute, the Spiritual Realm heaven’s will can definitely refine that poisonous tumor. Why didn’t it do it?”
Fang Yuan’s mind revolved and began to drift. Suddenly, he exclaimed, “That’s right! The Spiritual Realm must also treasure its own strength. Instead of consuming the realm’s natural source, why not let the Immortals and Gods under it do it? The ones that need to pay are only the heavens’ beloved. Moreover… such a slow obliteration. Maybe it also saw this power as a luxurious meal and is preparing to slowly digest it!”
Currently, Fang Yuan understood the realm’s strength much better after being promoted with origin power.
Origin power was actually the energy of the realm’s natural source.
And the origin power that he had refined was only that horrifying because it was the energy of the Mental Demon Realm’s natural source!
Innately, this realm’s natural source was higher than that of the lower dimension worlds. Thus, a drop could badly damage many worlds and was nearly uncontrollable.
Since it was the energy of a realm’s natural source, even the lower worlds could risk refining a few drops. The Spiritual Realm would also naturally be able to do so.
“Infiltrate it! I must infiltrate it!”
Fang Yuan looked at the purple star and made a firm decision.
If he swallowed the power of that purple star, he might even break through his current realm and enter an even more profound realm.
“Who would have thought that… something that the high-level immortals and Gods of the Spiritual Realm want to avoid at all costs is something that I dream to possess…” Fang Yuan laughed bitterly and shook his head. “Getting through the Spiritual Realm’s various blockades and entering the purple star… Difficult! So, so difficult!!! Looks like… the first thing I need to do is create a just and honorable identity…”
…
“Pfft!”
Xi Nation, in the Vast Ocean Sect.
Cheng Fei hung his head low and kneeled outside of a main hall.
Not after long, many alarmed cries rang out, “It’s no good. Sect Master forcefully divined that Fang Yuan’s whereabouts and suffered a backlash. He’s vomiting blood!”
“That traitor is actually so hard to deal with? Sect Master actually used a secret technique this time, even borrowing the sect’s accumulation, but he’s still unable to divine him?”
“Hehe, in the end, we still have to blame that Cheng Fei!”
…
Hearing these words, Cheng Fei’s head drooped even lower.
Initially, to truly enter the Vast Ocean Sect, various formalities had to be completed. Most important was leaving a life-soul light in the sect. This was not for control, but a way to check the important members’s life or death.
If there was this thing, the divination would have been much more convenient.
Unfortunately, Fang Yuan had only agreed to be an adjunct elder, even dragging the time to do so. He had never been to the sect before, and all traces were wiped extremely clean.
Even more so, he did not even refine the adjunct elder token!
As such, the only clues that could be divined from were the name and appearance. It was truly the worst of scenarios, the worst.
Until now, Cheng Fei did not even know if he had used an alias or not. He could not even confirm if his appearance was false.
If an Earth Immortal Patriarch had a mind to do so, he could completely play him for a fool!
