Cultivating Immortality in Two Realms

Chapter 299 Battle Against the Heavenly Talisman

Outside of Ice Island.

The void shattered, and Fang Qing stepped out leisurely, standing with his hands behind his back, waiting silently.

A moment later, a five-colored stream of light came chasing after them, revealing an old man in feathered robes with a full head of white hair, none other than Master Tianfu.

"I have long heard of the four Nascent Soul masters of Talisman Sword Island—Heavenly Talisman, Heavenly Register, Heavenly Book, and Heavenly Sword—each of whom is renowned throughout the East Sea. Today, I would like to seek their guidance."

With a flick of his sleeve, Fang Qing's second nascent soul opened its eyes within his dantian, revealing a pair of golden pupils.

Splash!

The boundless spiritual energy swept through, as if it had encountered a black hole and been completely swallowed up. This was none other than the Nascent Soul level technique, the "Sea Devouring Skill"!

His battle with the Heavenly Talisman Avatar was not only to prove his own strength and verify the power of the Nascent Soul stage, but also to see if the "Sea Devouring Technique" was still a pariah in the East Sea cultivation world.

"The spiritual energy of heaven and earth..."

Upon sensing this scene, Master Tianfu's expression changed slightly. He formed hand seals and continuously condensed his energy into talismans.

"The Stabilizing Symbol!"

"Heavenly Light Talisman!"

"Qi-stabilizing talisman!"

In an instant, a burst of spiritual light filled the air, the power of at least a third-tier talisman erupting, trapping the spiritual energy in the void...

Then, Master Tianfu saw Fang Qing wave his hand.

Whoosh!

An endless stream of gray-black mist surged forth, containing the phantom souls of at least third-tier low-grade demonic beasts such as dragons, coiled turtles, flying fish, and sea snakes.

"The Ten Thousand Souls Banner?"

"No, it's a transformation of demonic power!"

With a flick of his hand, Tianfu's feathered robes burst forth with multicolored light, and talismans specifically designed to ward off evil spirits and demons appeared out of thin air.

Then, all the talismans connected end to end, forming the sword blade, hilt, and guard... and actually transformed into a special talisman sword!

"cut!"

The Celestial Master made a sword incantation with his hands, and the talisman sword swept across, carrying a light that could ward off evil.

The countless spirits and the gray-black mist were almost instantly swept away.

"What a fine magic sword."

Upon seeing this, Fang Qing couldn't help but clap his hands in praise.

Talisman Sword Island is known as the "Dual Master of Talismans and Swords". The Talisman Master's technique is more of a talisman technique than a swordsmanship technique!

"Unlike sword cultivators who wield a sword to dispel all laws... their path involves refining various spells into a talismanic sword, making it more akin to a 'magic sword' or 'spell sword'... leaning more towards the path of Qi cultivation."

He didn't feel anything at all about his casual attack being broken.

After all, it's just a byproduct of cultivating the "Sea-Swallowing Technique," essentially a special effect. If it's destroyed, it can be cultivated back to its original state.

"Besides...once I've consumed some fourth-tier essence pills, it won't be so easy."

Fang Qing raised his hand, and the "Kill the Wolf" sword appeared in his hand, bringing with it a golden aura.

Although his cultivation method has changed, this flying sword is still incredibly sharp, making it even more suitable for using swordsmanship.

call out!

He thrust out his sword, the sound of thunder echoing through the air. The countless sword threads he split into carried an indescribable sharpness, as if he had found the weakness of the torrent of talismanic sword magic. With a strike in the middle of the stream, all the endless spells were broken.

Swish!

Fang Qing activated the sword technique, using his Nascent Soul power to propel the flying sword. Although it lost its purity, its sheer power surpassed that of the sword.

Amidst the starlight, a sword aura, like mist, suddenly transformed into a rainbow, severing the talisman sword in half.

With a light tap of his finger, the broken talisman sword instantly scattered, transforming into countless talismans.

The damaged talisman burst into flames, turning to ashes. What remained clung to his body, transforming into a strange armor of runes...

If someone is a true sword cultivator, having their natal flying sword severed will definitely result in a significant loss of vital energy.

However, the flying swords on Talisman Sword Island, though called swords, are actually countless talismans; if they are damaged, they can simply be repaired...

Fang Qing closed in, unleashing the "Kill the Wolf" sword with dazzling light, carrying the power to shatter all laws with a single strike. It broke through thirteen layers of talismanic light, almost reaching the Heavenly Talisman Master.

Master Tianfu spread his arms wide, as if soaring like a great bird, and then, in the nick of time, pasted out a talisman.

The talisman struck the main body of the Killing Wolf directly, causing the sword light of the flying sword to pause!

"snort!"

Fang Qing snorted coldly, and the Vajra Pestle also slammed into the consciousness of the Heavenly Talisman Master, causing the Nascent Soul Master to pause.

Then, he brought his five fingers together, forming a fist, and slammed it onto the talismanic light in front of him.

Splash!

Countless talismans exploded like fireworks, turning into colorful flames.

The five-colored outline on the chest of the Celestial Talisman Master transformed into a talisman, and his figure vanished instantly, reappearing dozens of feet away, a hint of surprise and uncertainty on his face: "Fellow Daoist... you're actually a body cultivator?"

Even if a cultivator can undergo a transformation and marrow cleansing as they advance to higher realms, even if they break through to the Nascent Soul stage, without body refinement, they will likely only have a physique of around the lower third rank, and will not understand the art of close combat.

But Fang Qing is clearly different!

"It's just miscellaneous knowledge."

Fang Qing chuckled, toying with a small clock in his hand: "Want to continue?"

"No need."

Upon seeing "Wen Tianzhong", Master Tianfu immediately felt a chill run down his spine, knowing that if things continued, this incarnation of Tianfu might be lost here.

Although the main body will not perish, it will inevitably suffer serious injuries.

"This child has already reached the Nascent Soul stage, and with his Void Spirit Root... he can roam the void with his physical body, achieving the feat of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator... I'm afraid even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator would find it difficult to truly kill him."

After some thought, Tianfu Shangren realized that even if his true self were here, he would have little chance against Fang Qing, since his true self was only at the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

This avatar, which acts by possession, is only at the level of an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

After much thought, Cola Novels always has a story waiting for you to unfold. But I can only give up: "Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on condensing your Nascent Soul. Consider the Resentful Infant Fruit my congratulatory gift..."

Since there's no way to kill them, we have no choice but to compromise.

Otherwise, offending such an elusive Nascent Soul cultivator would likely make it difficult for any Nascent Soul or lower-level disciples on Talisman Sword Island to even leave their homes...

"Haha... We became friends after our fight. I've always had great admiration for Talisman Sword Island."

Fang Qing didn't know if the old monster Tianfu recognized the foundation of his "Swallowing the Sea Technique," but judging from his appearance, even if he had cultivated this demonic art, it shouldn't be a big problem.

After all, the Devouring Sea Demon Sect's rampage in the East Sea was something that happened ten thousand years ago...

The treatment of someone who has achieved the Core Formation stage of demonic cultivation is completely different from that of someone who has achieved the Nascent Soul stage of demonic cultivation.

For example, that Fiend Old Monster even robbed merchants, but isn't he still living a carefree life?

"Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, I should take my leave..."

Fang Qing glanced in a certain direction, chuckled softly, and then vanished from sight.

Swish!

The Heavenly Talisman Avatar stood silently. Soon after, another "Heavenly Talisman Master" flew in, exuding terrifying magical power fluctuations at the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

He remained silent, then with a flick of his sleeve, transformed the Heavenly Talisman Avatar into a talisman and stored it in his robes: "This brat actually sensed my arrival? He was just fighting me, and I hadn't even used my teleportation technique or that terrifying treasure yet..."

Tianfu gazed at the spot where Fang Qing had disappeared, his face filled with apprehension: "This boy is only at the Core Formation stage, yet he dares to snatch treasures from a Nascent Soul cultivator... When he reaches the mid-Nascent Soul stage, or even the late-Nascent Soul stage... I'm afraid the entire cultivation world of the East Sea will be in turmoil."

……

"Very good... It seems that my 'pseudo-Nascent Soul' is equivalent to early-stage Nascent Soul combat power in the East Sea cultivation world..."

After resolving the crisis and testing his new abilities, Fang Qing was extremely satisfied.

When they reappeared, they had already returned to the shopping mall.

"Greetings, senior."

Shang Yuanxin was discussing matters with Uncle Fu when he saw Fang Qing and quickly bowed.

"I have resolved the matter of the Heavenly Talisman, and I expect that person will make some remarks soon."

Fang Qing waved his hand and sat down on the wooden chair.

"Thank you, senior."

Shang Yuanxin bowed deeply, as did Uncle Fu beside him, thinking to himself, "Young Master's investment in this person back then was truly a huge success... How long has it been, and he's already a Nascent Soul cultivator?"

"Not only a Nascent Soul cultivator, but even the Nascent Soul cultivators that Rune Sword Island couldn't defeat... the only option is to shake hands and make peace."

"Is there anything else?"

Fang Qing took a sip of spiritual tea and, seeing Shang Yuanxin's hesitant expression, couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"Senior, once the Guixu Secret Realm opens, it will be time for the selection of the young master of our Shang family... At that time, I would like to invite you to attend and witness the grand event."

Shang Yuanxin sighed inwardly and bowed again.

The Guixu Secret Realm is the greatest Nascent Soul opportunity in the cultivation world of the East Sea. After the secret realm ends, more or less Nascent Soul spiritual materials will be released.

Each time, the merchant receives at least one 'Heavenly Infant Fruit', which is then used to refine 'Infant Condensation Pills'. The merchant's young master is then selected and bestowed with various Infant Condensation Treasures...

If Fang Qing had owed him a promise to help him seize the throne, he could have directly asked Fang Qing to help him take the lead.

But now the promise has been broken, and the relationship has faded; he only dares to invite the other party to attend the grand event.

"If I have free time, I will go."

Fang Qing thought for a moment but did not give a definite answer.

Then, he gave Shang Yuanxin a jade slip containing auxiliary materials for refining various Zhou Tian Secret Realm medicinal herbs, asking her to collect them. Then, with a flash of light, he vanished without a trace…

Only then did Uncle Fu dare to straighten up and let out a long breath...

……

Several days later.

Yuquan Island.

"Sincerity can lead to foresight..."

"But to truly eliminate the danger, we still need sufficient strength..."

Fang Qing lay comfortably on the chair, lost in thought.

Even if he had the power to fake a Nascent Soul, and had foreseen this calamity, he probably could only order Zhong Lingxiu to escape, and all the arrangements in the Little Universe Sea would have been rendered useless...

Unlike now, where danger is eliminated at its source!

"Therefore, if you want to live a carefree life, you still need to have enough power to protect yourself..."

Fang Qing pinched Yu Xiang'er to make her stand up, while he himself went to the Jade Spring.

Having obtained quite a few spiritual herbs this time, and also collected a batch of auxiliary materials from Shang Yuanxin, I can refine them all into pills to aid my cultivation...

At the edge of the spring, the air was shrouded in mist, and occasionally a leopard's roar could be heard...

Several months later.

Fang Qing sat cross-legged, with jade bottles placed beside him. If any one of the pills inside were to be circulated, it would undoubtedly provoke countless Core Formation cultivators to envious eyes and engage in fierce battles...

Before him, the spring water was divided into several layers, each refining different elixirs.

After pondering for a moment, Fang Qing took out two more jade bottles.

After obtaining the "Heavenly Water Elixir Classic", he studied it day and night and felt that his own water-based alchemy had advanced to the fourth level, making him a master alchemist.

As a grandmaster, one can design and modify elixir formulas independently...

Wave!

As soon as the stopper was opened, a wisp of purple mist rose up and transformed into a blazing sun.

The other bottle, however, was a serene frost, with the radiance of the moon flowing through it...

It contained a bottle of "Great Sun Purple Qi" and a bottle of "Great Yin Azure Qi"...

It contained a bottle of "Great Sun Purple Qi" and a bottle of "Great Yin Azure Qi"...

These two types of true qi are ranked in the ninth rank of superior grade, and are extremely rare. The key is that they cannot be collected at all through the Qi cultivation path. Trying to collect them will inevitably lead to disaster.

In the end, only when the Great Perfection of the Four Laws of the Joyful Union Sect attained enlightenment could two of them be used…

Meanwhile, on the Qi Refining path, Fang Qing ordered his men to collect over a hundred items from the storehouse for future use...
