Chapter 260 Breakthrough
In the chaos, there was only darkness.
"who I am?"
Where am I?
A glimmer of mysterious light shone within, and then a thought emerged.
The thought quickly cleared: "I am Fang Qing, currently breaking through to the Purple Mansion realm, overcoming the boundless tribulation of inner demons!"
As soon as this thought arose, that point of mysterious light transformed into a mysterious pearl, suddenly shining brightly and shattering the darkness!
Fang Qing opened her eyes and 'woke up'.
"This is the final 'annihilation tribulation' of the boundless inner demons? Truly perilous..."
His face was full of lingering fear, and he shuddered.
The cave was in complete disarray, with rushing water turning into pieces of pure white crystal scattered all over the ground.
Fang Qing glanced at his body and found himself in a similarly disheveled state, his robes tattered and worn, his body emaciated.
But his eyes were incredibly deep, like two clear springs, with a glimmer of light between his brows, like the "Ji Shui" (箕水) star, condensed and unwavering.
At the upper dantian, also known as the Purple Mansion, a divine light flashed, radiating boundless mystery, transforming into a circle of mysterious light on his body, making it clear at a glance that he was no ordinary person.
Fang Qing did some quick calculations and realized: "It is now nearly 8,640 years into the ancient calendar. After eleven years, he has finally attained the Purple Mansion realm..."
"Before I knew it, I was already 138 years old."
"No, there's one last step: to connect with the heavens and earth through supernatural powers and completely elevate one's destiny."
As soon as he opened his mouth, the "Position of the Wind" supernatural power floated out.
A beam of blue light surged forth, and a gentle breeze arose, rippling outwards in delicate blue waves.
Wherever this wind passes, clear springs gush forth, and all waters converge in its flow; a single breath can extinguish the life force of countless cultivators at the foundational stage.
Between Fang Qing's eyebrows, the emerald light shone even brighter, transforming into a blue robe that landed on his body.
The Purple Mansion operated in a wondrous way, and the originally emaciated body was transformed into the image of a handsome and refined young man.
Even the blood and qi are like a dragon, and the bones and muscles are like jade... The original third-level body refinement was unconsciously activated, and on this basis, it took another big step forward.
hoohoo!
In the void, the radiance of the [Ji Shui] converged and transformed into the shapes of leopards.
They might run and jump, or lie and play by the spring...
Glug glug!
The area of the original spiritual spring continued to expand, gurgling out spiritual energy, and even more so, wisps of jade-like crystal clear water, which actually transformed into a third-level spiritual spring on the spot - "Jade Rinsing Spring"!
Rumble!
A beam of azure light shot into the sky, like a blazing azure sun, enveloping the entire desolate island.
A gentle breeze blows, and the vegetation on the island grows wildly, lush and verdant, withered trees come back to life, hundreds of flowers bloom, and springs of spiritual energy appear randomly.
"This is……"
Yu Xiang'er stared wide-eyed in surprise, sensing that some indescribable power was cleansing the entire island.
It even uprooted the original island's spiritual veins, causing them to rapidly rise, shrouded in spiritual energy like mist, and actually climbed from the second rank to the third rank!
In the blink of an eye, a third-order spiritual vein and a third-order spiritual spring were created!
And this is far from the limit!
A mysterious spiritual aura emanated from the area and quickly spread outwards.
Yu Xiang'er was practicing the Black Profound Scripture, a demonic art. She felt that the water elemental energy between heaven and earth was so strong that it made her cultivation technique slightly sluggish.
Near the island, countless fish-like monsters leaped out of the water, vying for the gentle breeze and sweet rain... their demonic aura grew stronger and stronger, and they even began to advance in rank!
Ordinary fish transformed into demonic beasts, advancing from low-grade to mid-grade and then high-grade...
Several high-grade first-tier water-attribute demonic beasts have even begun to break through the second-tier bottleneck!
This attracts even more fish to gather, creating a scene reminiscent of a pilgrimage to the Dragon King!
Several mournful cries suddenly echoed from the distant sky.
Those were several crimson firebirds, blown by the light blue breeze, their bodies clashed with the conflicting forces of water and fire, causing them to explode and die instantly...
"This phenomenon is incredibly astonishing. If it were still in the Lesser Universe Sea, it would probably have alarmed most of the sects..."
Yu Xiang'er was speechless when she saw this scene.
……
Inside the cave.
Fang Qing, however, did not leave the seclusion but instead focused on comprehending his own status.
"The borrowed rank is indeed vastly different from the rank acquired through cultivating supernatural powers and breaking through to the Purple Mansion realm..."
Although it was Vajra Powerful Bone before.
But at this moment, the light of the [Ji Shui] point between his brows shone brightly. After his life essence was sublimated, Fang Qing also felt a sense of 'Does Du Zi even deserve to be called Zi Fu?'
With the blessing of the new Purple Mansion position, he had never felt so close to the Great Void.
In the blink of an eye, one can break into the void and escape the storms of the void as easily as if it were nothing, which is far more convenient than saving children and mothers.
"If we compare the Great Void to the ocean, Du Zi is merely a child who has just learned to swim... but the Purple Mansion is already vast, with plenty of energy left to swim in..."
"And... I can also grant five persons."
Fang Qing communicated with the Dao-Generating Pearl and began to sense it; his expression suddenly darkened.
"The Master Scholar 'Yuan Hongxu'? Taibai Island has fallen?"
"I attained the Purple Mansion realm much faster than the Qi Cultivation Dao cultivators who often spend decades in seclusion, but it still took eleven years... And yet, another great change has occurred in the Lesser Universe Sea?"
……
Xiao Huanhai.
Jade Island.
Qin Ruxue was setting up an array at a fishing ground.
She looked up at the blazing sun and sighed inwardly, "Ten years have passed since my young master left. I wonder what has become of him?"
Ten years ago, the renowned scholar Yuan Hongxu suddenly arrived in Xiaohuanhai.
This person is at the mid-stage of Core Formation and possesses a powerful and rare treasure, yet he is extremely cautious.
After lying low for over a year and confirming that the mid-stage Core Formation Ancestor Fang was no longer on Taibai Island, he made a sudden move to hunt down Ruan Zhixuan, who had gone out to search for a spiritual herb!
Ruan Zhixuan, who was only at the early stage of Core Formation, died on the spot!
If it weren't for Cui Zhe, a newly promoted Core Formation cultivator, being hidden away and protected by the Bihai Sect's grand formation, the Bihai Sect might have been wiped out!
But Yuan Hongxu was no pushover either, and he attacked and conquered Tianxin Island and Taibai Island one by one, plundering spiritual items on a large scale.
If it weren't for the fact that she hadn't planned to attack the Core Formation Ancestor from the beginning, but instead attacked Taibai Island first, Qin Ruxue felt that she and her fellow Foundation Establishment cultivators wouldn't have survived at all!
The reason she survived was because, upon hearing about Old Master Ruan's story, she made a decisive decision to abandon Taibai Island.
The skilled scholar didn't pay much attention to the Foundation Establishment cultivators either.
Today, that masterful scholar has established the "Sacred Heart Alliance," occupying the two third-tier islands of Tianxin and Taibai, suppressing the Azure Sea Sect to only have Jade Island.
They are even sending out elite troops to gradually encroach on the resource-producing areas of Jade Island.
For example, spirit fishing grounds, mines, spirit herb gardens...
Qin Ruxue returned to Bihaimen with Xiang Dahu. Under the protection of Bihaimen, she naturally couldn't just sit around doing nothing and was also sent out to carry out various missions.
If it weren't for Cui Zhe's slight favor, he might have perished within these ten years...
Just then, several streaks of light appeared, approaching menacingly.
"Hmm? People from the Sacred Heart Alliance, and there are even three late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators among them?"
Qin Ruxue's expression changed, and she shouted, "Prepare to meet the enemy!"
Her trip was originally to a fishing ground that had been attacked and whose formation had been damaged.
Unexpectedly, while the repairs were being made, three more late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators launched a sneak attack!
"There might be a spy within the gate!"
Qin Ruxue pressed her hand against the storage bag, inside which was another talisman.
With this trump card, she remained fearless even when facing an attack from three late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.
But at that moment, a look of surprise appeared on her face: "Young Master..."
In an instant, something inexplicable and mysterious arose.
Qin Ruxue felt her own abilities were rising infinitely, and many insights suddenly arose in her mind.
She stared at the three menacing streaks of light as she made a hand seal.
Stab it!
A bolt of Gui Water Divine Lightning appeared, unleashing a power fluctuation far exceeding that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and surged into the three streaks of light.
"Huh? A Core Formation Ancestor?"
The Foundation Establishment cultivators within the three streaks of light were greatly alarmed, but it was all in vain. No matter how top-grade spiritual artifact they possessed, it was all reduced to ashes by this bolt of lightning...
"Senior Sister Qin... no, Senior Aunt Qin, you've already reached the Core Formation stage?"
Beside her, a Foundation Establishment disciple from the Formation Island who had come along looked on with astonishment.
Qin Ruxue gave the woman a cold glance, and the icy aura from her caused the woman to kneel on the ground.
She made a hand seal, as if it were an instinct, and calculated: "Good junior sister, so it was you who betrayed my whereabouts."
"No...Master Uncle, spare me!"
The junior sister had barely uttered her plea for mercy when a bolt of lightning struck, instantly turning her to ashes.
"How dare you kill my men!"
After the three late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators perished, a burst of mid-stage Core Formation mana erupted in the distance, accompanied by a cold divine sense sweeping across it.
"It's the renowned scholar Yuan Hongxu... This man actually followed me? Is he planning to use me to lure out Cui Zhe?"
Qin Ruxue didn't even need to calculate to know what this person had planned.
Given Fang Qing's relationship with Cui Zhe, if Cui Zhe knew that Qin Ruxue was being besieged by several Foundation Establishment cultivators, he might still come out of the mountain gate to rescue her.
"He really has a lot of bad intentions..."
Qin Ruxue glanced at the disappearing light, a mocking smile appearing on her lips.
She has just been promoted to "Tara". Although she has the blessing of her status, she is still not proficient in many of the wonders. She may not be able to win a battle against a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator who has mastered a rare treasure.
But she didn't need to fight any magic.
With a gentle wave of her hand, Qin Ruxue ripped open the void, allowing her to step into it and vanish instantly.
A moment later, a beam of light descended, revealing Yuan Hongxu's figure. Looking at the void, a look of apprehension appeared on his face: "A female cultivator at the Core Formation stage, a void treasure? This is troublesome..."
……
An unnamed deserted island.
Yu Xiang'er seemed to sense something and looked in the direction of Fang Qing's cave.
The void shattered, and Qin Ruxue emerged, bowing gracefully: "Congratulations, young master, on achieving divine power!"
"I've been in seclusion for many years, and I never imagined that so many things would happen in Xiao Huanhai."
Fang Qing sat cross-legged, dressed in a green robe, with a glimmer of light from the [Ji Shui] mark between his brows. He had no intention of going out to kill the Holy Hand Scholar—that would be too beneath him.
"I've just broken through, and I need to go into seclusion for a while to digest it."
"Take my talisman and go to suppress Yuan Hongxu, restoring order to the chaos..."
He casually took out a talisman and wrote a line of large characters on it with his finger: "Yuan Hongxu will die here!"
With divine illumination and wondrous essence, the line of text instantly shone with a turquoise-gold hue, and the entire talisman radiated countless rays of light, yet also possessed the weight of a mountain.
"Yes, sir!"
Qin Ruxue accepted the gift with both hands, her body trembling slightly. She bowed once more and stepped into the void...
