Chapter 405 - 173: Perfection

Chapter 405: Chapter 173: Perfection

Both the Blood Demon Sect and the Void Sect had sent Grandmasters to track him, reminding him that he had to be careful.

Hearing this news, Fang Xing wasn’t the least bit surprised.

In Demon Path Upper Sects like these, core members were all basically monitored by Life Plates.

He had one too. His Life Plate was with Hong Miaojin.

The moment one was killed, the Life Plate would shatter.

However, with the Celestial Secret Order in his possession, Fang Xing wasn’t worried in the slightest.

As long as they didn’t corner him, he wouldn’t be in any mortal danger.

Clearing out nine strongholds had only netted him about a million Enhancement Points in total.

Although it wasn’t much, it was better than nothing.

After dealing with the nine strongholds, Fang Xing didn’t rush to act again.

The Evil Cult Demon Sects were well-informed.

Since the higher-ups already knew the situation in Celestial Star Prefecture, they would definitely pass down orders to their subordinates.

However, Fang Xing wasn’t worried about this at all.

His goal was to deal with Celestial Star Prefecture and use the resulting harvest to break through the final Dragon Gate.

This would also take time.

Leaving Celestial Star Prefecture, Fang Xing entered a neighboring county.

Jinyang County!

It bordered Celestial Star Prefecture and was also close to the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

The entire county was mostly hilly terrain.

The tall mountains stretched on and on, seemingly without end.

The Hundred Thousand Mountains crisscrossed the Southern Border.

At the break of dawn, deep within the mountains outside a County Town in Jinyang County.

Fang Xing arrived at a deep, serene mountain cave.

With a thought, the Mountain and River Treasure Mirror appeared, hovering before him.

Looking at his surroundings, Fang Xing’s Primordial Spirit stirred, and in the next moment, a burly figure of divine light appeared.

The Void Brahma God!

Once a Divine Spirit’s cultivation reaches the stage of Great Success, it can become large or small at will.

Looking at the Void Brahma God before him, he waved his hand again, weaving his Primordial Spirit Power to cover the entire cave.

Then, Fang Xing took out the Celestial Secret Token again. He injected a stream of Gang Qi, activating the Token, and placed it in the Void Brahma God’s hand. This completely concealed all of its aura and fluctuations.

’This should be safe enough.’

Having set up all the defensive measures, Fang Xing finally stepped into the Mountain and River Treasure Mirror with satisfaction.

With the Void Brahma God standing guard, the Celestial Secret Token concealing his aura, and the special array built with a Divine Soul Secret Technique, he would be perfectly safe—even if the Demon Emperor himself were standing at the mouth of the cave, so long as he didn’t step inside.

Moreover, the Void Brahma God was no pushover. With his current level of Primordial Spirit Power, it could handle anyone below the Grandmaster realm.

Although its combat ability was not as good as his main body, a Divine Spirit was not to be underestimated.

In the realm of Divine Soul arts, it could easily inflict heavy wounds on anyone below the rank of Grandmaster. Only a Grandmaster would be able to resist it.

With a Divine Spirit as a Guardian, he could focus wholeheartedly on his breakthrough!

Inside the Mountain and River Treasure Mirror, Fang Xing descended upon a mountain peak.

This Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure contained its own world of mountains and rivers. It could also connect to the outside world, so this place, too, had pure Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

Sitting cross-legged, Fang Xing immediately took out a piece of Divine True Origin, placed it in his mouth, and swallowed.

In an instant, a roar sounded from within his body. The Longevity Technique began to circulate, frantically absorbing the energy of the Divine True Origin.

Brilliant light suffused the area around him as a powerful Gang Qi enveloped his body.

Using the power of the Divine True Origin, Fang Xing began to assault the Dragon Gate.

The Heaven and Earth Profound Palace!

One was at the Baihui Acupoint. The second was at the Yongquan acupoints on the soles of his feet.

The upper one connects to the heavens, the lower one connects to the earth!

Breaking through the two palaces of Heaven and Earth would mean reaching Perfection.

Surging Gang Qi churned, and under the circulation of the Longevity Technique, the power of the Divine True Origin was drawn out frantically.

A series of rumbles echoed from within his body, like flashes of lightning and claps of thunder. The aura around him stirred the surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

Time ticked by, second by second.

「Qing Province.」

Inside a certain mansion’s main hall, a man in black robes wore a grim expression, filling the entire room with a repressive atmosphere.

"Still no trace of that Demon Suppression Envoy?"

The black-robed man stared at a young man before him, his gaze cold and sinister.

The young man trembled. Enduring the immense pressure, he said, "Venerable, there is still no news of this person. This subordinate is doing his utmost to search."

"Useless!"

With a single shout, the young man was sent flying backward, smashing onto the ground.

He spat a mouthful of blood but didn’t have time to wipe it away as he scrambled back to his feet.

"Venerable, please calm your anger! I will do my utmost to investigate and find this person as soon as possible."

The black-robed man’s gaze was ice-cold, his eyes like daggers as he stared at the youth who was spitting blood.

"I’ll give you three more days. If you can’t find him, you will face the consequences."

"Yes, yes, of course! Thank you, Venerable! I’ll get on it right away." The youth kowtowed repeatedly, his head bobbing like a pestle pounding garlic, his expression panicked.

"Get lost."

The black-robed man snorted coldly.

The youth immediately stood up and quickly left the hall.

Watching the youth’s departing back, the black-robed man’s gaze was cold, his brow tightly furrowed.

’Not a single scrap of news... Could he have already returned to the Qing Province Observatory?’

The black-robed man murmured to himself, his brow furrowed into a knot.

’If that’s the case, it will be really difficult to make a move...’

’I’ll just have to wait for news from Qing Province City.’

With a sigh, he slowly closed his eyes.

...

「A month passed in the blink of an eye.」

In a cave deep within the mountains outside a County Town in Jinyang County, the Mountain and River Treasure Mirror floated quietly in the air.

The Void Brahma God stood motionless, like a statue.

Inside the Treasure Mirror, atop a mountain peak.

Fang Xing sat cross-legged, an aura surging around him.

A powerful aura spread out, pulling in the surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi. It was as if he were at the center of a violent upheaval of Primordial Qi.

The boundless aura pulsed.

The air rippled in layers.

Like ripples in water, they continuously spread outwards as a Primordial Qi Storm swept through.

VMMMM—!

A shockwave suddenly erupted like a volcano, sweeping across the land for miles around.
