Gou Dao Changsheng: Starting from the Reincarnation of a Demon Cultivator

Chapter 807 Gift of Spiritual Objects, Support from Within the Sect

'Fight for it yourself?'

Fang Yi remained calm; Wu Hua's words were not beyond his expectations.

For Chi Meizi, the fact that the Xuan Yang Mountain and Bi Shui Ge sects were locked in a fierce battle meant that some cultivators were willing to fight to the death for their future, spiritual objects, and even their lives.

He cultivated the Plum Blossom Divination method, and with the help of Changsun Jie's unlucky spirit, his understanding of the secrets of heaven had accumulated to a considerable degree at the quasi-third level. Combining his experiences from two lifetimes, Fang Yi had grasped the essence of the Red Eyebrows' actions, no longer seeing things in the fog.
The battle between cultivators would cause a clash of fates, thus disrupting the great fortune of the Chasing Clouds. When Crimson Eyebrows Zi begins his breakthrough again, it won't immediately trigger the Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Fire Worship Sect.

"Gululu~"

The sound of the spiritual spring boiling in the jade pot rang out again, and Fang Yi spoke tentatively.

"Senior Sister Wuhua, with reinforcements from Biyue Pavilion constantly arriving, and no true masters within the sect available to command, it is extremely difficult to defend Qingkong Cliff."

Let alone attacking the sacred land of Jiuquan Mountain.

"Junior Brother Fang Yi single-handedly defended Qingkong Cliff; that was already incredibly difficult." His phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, a gentle smile playing on his lips. "But if this matter weren't so difficult, what right would Junior Brother have to gain the sect's support?"

"Junior Brother, you've shown such talent and gone all out. Isn't this a way to make early bets for advancement in your cultivation path?"

"Adding flowers to brocade is nothing compared to providing charcoal in the snow."

Junior brother, are you willing to be stuck at the Core Formation Realm and unable to advance any further?
Without the support of a Nascent Soul True Monarch, even with a fourth-tier Nascent Soul spiritual object in hand, and the sect's more than a thousand years of heritage and the sacrifices of its ancestors, one must still act furtively, fearing that a leak of information would bring about the annihilation of the entire sect.

Behind the Five Flower Immortal, a Dragon Smoke Furnace suppressed all directions, and the red light in his phoenix eyes surged, his scorching aura aggressive.

"The Nascent Soul Realm!"

Fang Yi's eyes were deep and his thoughts were unfathomable as he recalled the hardships and dangers he had faced in his previous life in order to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

'This is a test and trial by the powerful master of Xuanyang Mountain.'

He knew perfectly well that he could not back down!
One step back, then another, until there is nowhere left to retreat.
Reaching the mid-stage of Core Formation is like having an awl in a bag; one's cultivation improves, one's influence expands, and one collects spiritual objects and cultivation techniques.
We must fight for them!

If one does not contend, a True Immortal who has reached the Core Formation stage will naturally step in to seize the opportunities of creation and nourish one's path to enlightenment.

Just like the conflicts with Yan Youtai and Xiao Yan, there wasn't any major enmity, but it was a life-or-death struggle, for no other reason than...
Xuan Yang Mountain, and even the entire Great Cloud Immortal Cultivation World, could not afford to support three Great Immortals who had reached the Core Formation stage in the Wood Dao.

Behind him, azure mist swirled, surrounded by lush vitality, evolving into an ancient tree that was the spiritual root of the Azure Wood Palace.

"Oh!"

The emerald light and the wisps of fire collided, their combined power fierce and fierce. The aftershocks shook the area for miles, turning into a gale that destroyed mountains and rocks, leaving a ten-mile radius of white.

Fang Yi had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, his robes fluttered in the wind, and his magical power circulated more and more intensely. After years of cultivation, he had become fully capable and of impeccable lineage.

Even when faced with a riot of colors, there is no need to back down!
"At the Nascent Soul stage, how could any of us cultivators, who have cultivated to this point, possibly retreat?"

"The Azure Spirit Wood of the Azure Wood Palace?"

Wu Hua nodded slightly, a smile playing on her lips, and the intense heat dissipated, as if the collision had never happened.

Fang Yi was not like 99% of the Core Formation cultivators, who were content with breaking through to the late Core Formation stage and stopped progressing.

A cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage enjoys a lifespan of a thousand years and possesses boundless magical power, capable of moving mountains and filling seas. Not to mention in Dayun, in Dayu, and even among the millions of cultivators in the entire Qiongzhou, he is a first-rate figure.

With her long, dark blue hair flowing over her shoulders, she brushed her fingers across the surface, and the spiritual spring water in the jade pot transformed into a crystal-clear stream that fell into the teacup.

"It is excellent that Junior Brother Fang has such lofty ambitions. He is more than a hundred times better than those corpse-guarding ghosts of Tiandaowu, Biyuege, and Baigumen."

Her eyes flickered with fire, her expression solemn, and she said in a deep voice:

"Fourth-order spiritual veins are rare, and spiritual objects that assist Core Formation True Persons in breaking through are even more rare treasures of heaven and earth. They are either in dangerous and secret places or being watched to death by Nascent Soul True Monarchs. Core Formation True Persons are already a group of geniuses."

However, those who can break through to the late stage of Core Formation are already less than one in ten, and those who can further advance to the perfection of Core Formation and have a chance to break through to the upper realm are even rarer.

With her fair skin and disdainful expression, she sneered, "You wouldn't even dare to dream of it. You're a nobody with no ambition. Let alone a five-hundred-year lifespan for Core Formation, you wouldn't even be able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage with a lifespan of five thousand years!"

"Junior Brother Fang Yi, you're quite good."

Fang Yi's expression was calm and composed. Being listed in the Pure Yang Scroll was merely stepping into the core of Xuan Yang Mountain. After killing Qing Sui, he demonstrated his potential to become a Great True Person.

However, he was still not valued by Wu Hua, Zhang Hengyi, or even You Xishan, and was regarded as one of their own.

At most, his status is comparable to Xiao Changce's. He is a cultivator who is expected to break through to the Great True Person level. Although he is a core member of Xuan Yang Mountain, his status is still far below that of Wu Hua, Zhang Hengyi, and You Xishan.

The reason is simple: these three masters are not ordinary sect leaders.

Wu Hua possesses profound cultivation, capable of breaking through to the late Core Formation stage at any moment. However, due to considerations for the Fire Worship Sect, she has already surpassed the Great True Person realm. Furthermore, she has a deep foundation in the Spirit Fragrance Dao, having entered the upper-grade third rank—a genuine Great True Person realm.

You Xishan's understanding of the Heavenly Secrets had at least reached the upper level of the third rank. Otherwise, even with the assistance of the Zhou Tian Bagua Diagram, he would not have been able to keep the Biyue Pavilion's gate from being detected by the great master Yu Yuanzi for nearly ten years and three thousand days and nights.

Zhang Hengyi of the Ancestral Hall lived to be six hundred years old. Even among those who achieved the Golden Core stage in the Wood Dao, few could accumulate such good fortune.
A fleeting look of apprehension crossed Fang Yi's eyes. He and Yang Cai'er continued to correspond, exchanging information and resources.

Zhang Hengyi, the successor carefully selected by the Ancestral Hall, has never shown his true colors or used his full strength, yet he has firmly suppressed the leader of Tiandaowu. It would not be an exaggeration for him to break through to the Great True Person realm at any time.

'These three from Xuanyang Mountain, whether it be Wu Hua, You Xishan, or Zhang Hengyi, are all extraordinary individuals.'

Even within a major Nascent Soul sect, he is a core inheritor of the Daoist lineage, with the potential to advance further and reach the Nascent Soul realm.

In my previous life, I cultivated the Three Yin God-Slaying Technique at the Nether Spring Sect. In terms of combat ability among those of the same cultivation level, I was no weaker than three others.

However, the Three Yin Slaughtering God Technique shortens one's lifespan; in terms of foundation and future potential, it is inferior.

Fortunately, in this world, in terms of foundation, lifespan, and magical treasures and supernatural powers, I am no less than any other cultivator.

Fang Yi's expression was indifferent, as calm as a deep ancient pool, seemingly unconcerned about the approval in Wu Hua's words.

"Junior Brother Fang has a good heart."

The admiration in Wu Hua Zhenren's eyes grew stronger. After a moment's thought, he took out a gray bone talisman from his sleeve.

The magic power rippled slightly, and the witchcraft on the bone talisman spread. An ancient and wild aura soared into the sky, stirring up the wind and clouds.

"These are the Myriad Miles of Formless Talismans, there are seven of them, and they are part of an ancient treasure of witchcraft."

This treasure, possessing seven elements combined into one, is a superior-grade magic weapon, yet it lacks both offensive and defensive capabilities.

However, even a True Immortal activating it can only transmit sound within a 100,000-mile radius in a day, and their movements are extremely secretive, involving changes in the universe, making it difficult for even a Grand True Immortal to detect.

A radiant glow rose from her hand, transforming into auspicious clouds that carried the [Ten Thousand Miles Formless Talisman] to Fang Yi's side.

"This talisman will be given to Junior Brother Fang, so that he can exchange things with me, Junior Brother Hengyi, and Senior Brother Xishan in the future."
Junior Brother Fang carefully put away the talisman. Whether we need special spiritual objects, magic treasures, or to collect cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities, or even to surround and kill enemies, the talisman can inform us from afar.

Seeing that our junior brother has great potential and a firm Dao heart, the three of us can lend a hand to him once on credit.

Your master, Xiao Changce, didn't receive such treatment.

Fang Yi grasped with his five fingers, his magical power flowing freely, instantly refining the bone talisman. He sensed the seven traces of magical restrictions within the talisman and understood.

'To be recognized and regarded as an equal by Zhang Hengyi, Wu Hua, and You Xishan is no simple matter.' He stroked the bone talisman, sensing the primal energy and ancient, unsophisticated restrictions within it, and said in a deep voice:

"Even a Great Immortal?"

"Even if it's a Great Immortal!"

The Five-Flower Immortal nodded slightly, his body shimmering with rosy light, his eyes serene.

"Even if Junior Brother Fang wants to make a move against the Great Master, Junior Brother Hengyi, Senior Brother Xishan, and I will all assist you, but we will only have one chance to make a move!"
If they need the three of us to help again later, they'll need to repay the favors they owe, or...
Junior brother advances to the Great True Person realm.

Fang Yi tightened his fingers slightly, his eyes flashed with a sharp light, and a thought emerged in his mind.

Deer mandrill!
Having reached the late stage of Core Formation and become comparable to a Great True Person, Lu Xiaozi, with the help of Wu Hua, Zhang Hengyi, and You Xishan, and with a calculated attack on Lu Xiaozi, was seven or eight out of ten able to take his life.

Gu Jiushang transmitted his voice multiple times and confirmed that the cultivation method of this Deer Demon Child was related to the [Scripture of Life, Death and Prosperity].

There is also Sudu Mountain, and the Burial Abyss, which is the site of the Qingmu Palace ruins.

Even with a third-tier high-grade array spirit lurking within, the Zhou Tian Bagua diagram concealing heavenly secrets, the Crimson Light Dragon Smoke Furnace bewitching the soul, and the Great Void Shaking Cloud Boat crushing down...
That nearly fourth-tier Azure Spirit Wood is a great opportunity. Once it falls into his hands, he can nourish it with his withering and flourishing magic, and Fang Yi has a 100% chance of helping the precious wood break through to the fourth tier.
Furthermore, the three top sect leaders working together are enough to seize the White Bone Demon God statue that has been refined for thousands of years from the White Bone Sect.

With his profound understanding of puppetry at the quasi-fourth rank, he is sure to be able to refine a top-tier puppet that can dominate the Great True Person realm.

"What a huge temptation!"

Even with Fang Yi's temperament, a flicker of attraction crossed his mind, but he ultimately remained silent.

For no other reason
His cultivation level was ultimately a notch below his level. Although he was 70-80% confident in killing Lu Xiaozi, he would never make a move if he wasn't 100% certain, since it involved the core inheritance of the [Life and Death Scripture].

If he fails, Lu Xiaozi will flee into the Ten Thousand Mountains. It would be a pipe dream for him to try to seize the "Scripture of Life, Death and Prosperity" to complete the inheritance and deduce the Dao of Jia Wood and Yi Wood.

Within the Ten Thousand Mountains lies a profound and unfathomable realm, where more than one Nascent Soul Demon Lord resides!
Otherwise, Fang Yi would not have allowed Gu Jiushang to manage it so carefully, regarding it as a fallback plan after Chi Meizi's failure to condense his nascent soul.

As for the Burial Soul Abyss, Fang Yi was not afraid of the array spirits left behind by the Green Wood Palace escaping.

but.
The near-fourth-tier Azure Spirit Wood is a top-tier spiritual material in the Way of Wood, and Zhang Hengyi might very well be tempted by it.
As for the White Bone Sect, which inherited the White Bone Demon God for a thousand years, and commanded three top sect leaders to prematurely annihilate the sect under Tian Quezi's promise.
Even if it succeeds, it's not worth it.

'This favor is only on credit; if we want to continue exchanging goods and services with the three of them, we must repay the favor.'

Fang Yi closed his eyes slightly, his sharp gaze subsided, and he murmured to himself.

'Ultimately, my cultivation level is too low; relying solely on the Way of Wood, I can only protect myself in their presence.'

However, entering the innermost circle of Dayun is also a great opportunity.

He took out a scroll, his magic swirling around him, and with his fingers as a brush, the characters flew and danced. In less than ten breaths, the scroll was covered with tiny, dense characters.

"These are the spiritual items my junior brother needs to study the [Yin Huai Soul-Slaying Puppet Array]. I hope Senior Sister Wu Hua can help me collect them."

Fang Yi is elegant and gentle, and since he cannot ask Wu Hua to kill his enemy, it would be excellent to use his power and accumulated resources to collect spiritual items.

"Furthermore, I would like to trouble you, senior sister, to keep an eye out for the inheritance of the Woodcraft lineage."

"The spiritual items needed for the Yin Huai Soul-Slaying Puppet Formation?"

With her phoenix eyes slightly raised and her figure graceful and charming, she slowly scanned the numerous spiritual objects recorded in the tiny characters of the book.

"Third-grade low-level Golden Feather Silk, third-grade low-level Yin-Yang Skin, third-grade mid-level Lesser Mystic Gold, third-grade mid-level Nine-Frost Iron, third-grade superior Yin Soul Pearl"
Hey, Junior Brother Fang isn't being polite at all.

These spiritual items are either extremely rare in the Great Cloud Realm or of extremely high quality; neither can be easily purchased with spirit stones.

"Hmm, is this going to use the [Degradation Method] to refine a mid-grade third-tier puppet array?"
The path of spiritual healers is not suited for combat, and it's perfectly normal for a junior brother to have such thoughts since he doesn't possess any high-grade offensive treasures.

It seems that the junior brother gained a lot from his fight with the Biyue Pavilion, and his wealth is exceptionally substantial.

Let me think about it.

With a pat of his storage bag, Wu Hua released three spirit-sealing jade boxes. The yellow spirit-sealing talisman ignited spontaneously without wind, and the jade boxes slowly opened, releasing a misty spiritual energy accompanied by golden light.

"One roll of low-grade third-tier golden feather silk, nine feet of mid-grade third-tier dark leather, and a piece of mid-grade third-tier small black gold. These are all the third-tier spiritual items I have."

Furthermore, Senior Brother Xishan should possess two pieces of mid-grade third-tier Nine-Frost Iron. Giving one to Junior Brother to refine a puppet array wouldn't be difficult.

"As for the Tier 3 High-Grade Yin Soul Bead?"

She paused slightly, pushed the three jade boxes in front of Fang Yi, and continued, "The spiritual items of the Yin-Yang Dao are not even available in the sect's secret vault. Junior Brother, you will be quite outstanding in your later battles against the White Bone Sect and the Azure Water Pavilion."

Uncle-Master Tianque will prepare all the necessary spiritual items for his junior brother.
As for the spirit stones needed to exchange for the spiritual items, Uncle-Master Tianque and Old Man Chimei had instructed them beforehand that they would pay for it, as a token of their appreciation for their junior brother's slaying of the Azure Marrow.

"Thank you for your help, Senior Sister Wuhua, and thank you for your kindness, Uncle-Master Tianque and Uncle-Master Chimei."

Fang Yi bowed slightly towards Xuanyang Mountain, seemingly lost in thought.

"Senior Sister Wuhua, if I am deterred by the difficulty of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage and have no intention of reaching it, then these many spiritual items..."

"These many spiritual items were naturally obtained by my junior brother through his own hard work and effort. The sect will only provide some spirit stones, and I will stand by and watch."

Wu Hua tossed her long hair at her temples, swept her sleeves across the jade pot, and her body was surrounded by swirling, shimmering mist.

"Once this matter is settled, I will not delay any longer. The spiritual items you lack will be sent to you later."

A flash of crimson light disappeared in an instant, leaving only a lingering echo. "Junior Brother Fang, don't disappoint us."

With a wave of his sleeve, Fang Yi put away the Spirit Sealing Jade Box. Having such a spiritual object in hand saved him countless tedious tasks, and he could immediately begin processing the precious materials, waiting only for the White Bone Demon God to arrive.
"The Five Flowers came to ascertain the state of my Dao heart. Among them must be those entrusted by Tianque and Chimei. The Xuan Yang Mountain Dao lineage is truly intriguing."

He murmured to himself as he watched the crimson light disappear into the horizon.

"Hey, as my cultivation progresses, Xuan Yang Mountain increasingly embodies the spirit of the righteous path being passed down from generation to generation."

The azure light flashed and disappeared in an instant, leaving the clouds silent and deserted.

White Bone Gate
"Swallowing you will be enough for me to go even further."

Ten days later.

On Yunhe Island, water splashed everywhere, birds sang in wonder, and the Earth Phoenix Tower rose from the ground, its huge wind wings vibrating.

Fang Yi stood with his hands behind his back, dressed in a blue silk robe and wearing a lotus crown.

"Jiuquan Mountain"

"go!"

"Wow!"

A fierce wind howled, and a vast, swirling energy surged as the ship, without any concealment, headed towards Jiuquan Mountain.

Outside Yunhe Island, several mysterious cultivators secretly changed their expressions and sent out a series of transmission talismans.
