From dual spiritual roots to a sword master with all attributes

Chapter 381: Three Years, the Divine Transformation Agreement

Thirty years is an extremely long time for mortals.

But for cultivators, especially high-level cultivators who have reached the stage of Dan, a period of retreat or a journey is just a matter of a snap of the fingers.

Outside the gate of Tianlan Sect.

More than ten cultivators gathered here. They were all dressed in black. Except for the four Nascent Soul cultivators in the lead, the others were all in the middle and late Jindan stages.

"Brother Fan, now that our Lietian Sword Sect has returned to the ranks of holy places, and this time we came to the Eastern Region to fight for the Taibai Sword Sect, I'm afraid the Tianlan Sect will not treat us well."

One of the Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivators suddenly spoke up.

And these people are all cultivators from the Lietian Sword Sect.

In theory, although the Sky-Splitting Sword Sect once had a place in the nine holy places in Middle-earth, if it wants to return to the holy places, it will inevitably come into conflict with one of the forces.

However, the Lietian Sword Sect had other plans. They had already made arrangements in the West Sea long ago.

Twenty years ago, when the Lietian Sword Sect re-emerged after its transformation into a god, it unexpectedly seized nearly half of the Shanhai Sect's foundation in a matter of days, completely competing with it and becoming the only second holy place in the West Sea.

Its thunderous means were so powerful that by the time other holy places received the news, the Sky-Splitting Sword Sect had already established a firm foothold.

“If the Tianlan Sect was smart, they wouldn’t have turned us away.

After all, how can one family alone stop the forces from coming?

If we work together, we will both benefit. Otherwise, we will become enemies. They will understand this truth."

Senior Brother Fan placed the long sword on the ground, staring intently at the three words "Tianlan Sect" on a huge rock beside him. It turned out that he had the cultivation level of the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

“I heard that Fang Xiao is also a sword cultivator, and although he is not as old as Junior Brother Wei, he has entered the Nascent Soul stage before he was a hundred years old. He is indeed extremely talented.

However, I don’t believe the rumor that he has the strength to fight against the incarnation and spirit of the True Lord.

This time we can have a duel with him and let this wild sword cultivator see the true inheritance of the holy land of swordsmanship."

Another cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage looked eager to try, and it seemed that he had also advanced to the Nascent Soul stage in recent years. However, he was quite dissatisfied with Fang Xiao, whose reputation was spread everywhere.

"There is no false reputation under a great name, not to mention that he is the direct disciple of Master Taichu. He is also a sword cultivator, not the self-taught one you mentioned.

Be careful or you’ll get beaten to a pulp, Junior Brother Li.

And I heard that Fellow Daoist Fang Xiao has been in seclusion, so you may not be able to see him."

The only remaining one is also a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage, but she is a female cultivator.

"The Taibai Sword Sect is about to open, and as a sword cultivator, how can I miss it? I guess he has already come out of seclusion."

Junior Brother Li expressed his judgment confidently.

Senior Brother Fan suddenly interrupted and said, "Alright, someone from the Tianlan Sect has arrived. Let's talk about everything after we communicate with the Tianlan Sect."

……

Fang Xiao had indeed come out of seclusion, and was now in the main hall of Tianwai Peak.

However, he did not completely seclude himself during the thirty years, and he came out of seclusion several times during that period.

For example, half a year after leaving Wanzang Palace, he had successfully deduced and brewed the fourth-grade Xuanyin Soul-Forging Wine, and personally delivered it to Li Mobai.

Wen Daoyun and other late Nascent Soul and peak cultivators have all reaped the benefits of this wave. Even Yi Tianhe, who was in seclusion to break through, was called out.

Xuanming Cave is extremely lively nowadays.

In addition to this, there is a one-year agreement with Fan Chen.

Unexpectedly, Fan Chen not only has the qualifications to brew spirit wine, but is also quite capable.

Fan Chen actually brewed all five recipes for spiritual wine given by Fang Xiao.

In this case, he naturally had to fulfill his promise and accept him as a registered disciple.

Later, after Fan Chen established his foundation, he accepted him as his personal disciple and brought him to Tianwai Peak.

When people heard that Fang Xiao was accepting disciples, there was a wave of craze for seeking disciples in Tianlan Sect. Unfortunately, Fang Xiao still hadn't accepted even one disciple.

During this period, many geniuses from holy lands came to challenge Fang Xiao after hearing about his existence.

Fang Xiao had no interest in these geniuses in the early Nascent Soul stage and never showed up for any of them.

For a while, Fang Xiao’s reputation of not being able to match his strength and seeking fame began to spread everywhere, but this did not affect him at all.

After thirty years of hard training, Fang Xiao's cultivation has greatly improved. He is only one step away from the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage, and his soul and body have also reached most of the Nascent Soul stage.

However, apart from cultivation, the progress of soul and body refining has slowed down.

This is because both the Soul-Cleansing Fruit and the Fourth-Level Blood Essence Wine are almost sold out.

The Soul-Cleansing Fruit is fine, as it is not far from the next round of maturity. If we encourage the Regret Sea Ape more, it won’t be long before we can harvest it.

On the contrary, Fang Xiao needed a large amount of the essence and blood of the transformed demon cultivator.

He had already planned that once this Taibai matter was over, he would go to the Southern Wilderness to hunt down the transformed demon cultivators.

After all, apart from the Southern Wilderness, there are also transformed demon cultivators in the four seas, but their numbers are small and they are difficult to search for.

Not only is it time-consuming and laborious, but it is also difficult to gain anything.

Although the Southern Wilderness is a little dangerous, it is much safer than when my cultivation was low before.

However, this time, as soon as he came out of retreat, he was called by Ling Taichu. He was so anxious, which was obviously related to the affairs of Taibai Sword Sect.

"Master, you are saying that during this trip to Taibai, the True Lords of the various sects will not take action, and my Tianlan Sect is no exception. Why is this?"

Fang Xiao looked surprised, but he was quite happy in his heart.

Regardless of friend or foe, Zhenjun Huashen will not be able to escape, so this would be Fang Xiao's home court.

"This news happened five years ago. You were still in seclusion at that time, so I didn't tell you.

Although we don’t have to worry about any gods coming to our Eastern Region, the pressure on the Nascent Souls in the sect, including you, will be multiplied.

The root cause is related to the Middle-earth Royal Court."

"It's related to the Royal Court. Don't they openly participate in disputes outside of Middle-earth?"

The Royal Court of Middle-earth is indeed the most powerful of all the forces in the Taichang Realm. Its strength can be imagined just by the fact that it monopolizes more than 40% of the territory of Middle-earth.

But at the same time, standing in this position, one will be feared by all forces, especially the other eight forces in Middle-earth.

Therefore, his every move is closely watched by all parties.

Even though Wang Ting had the power to destroy any sect at will, he never took the initiative to do so.

Because this is very likely to cause panic among other forces, and even lead to them being attacked by a group of people.

Therefore, it has long been clearly stated that the royal court will not intervene in disputes among various parties, especially in the four regions and four seas outside of Middle-earth.

This was also when Li Mobai questioned King Qian whether he was acting on behalf of the Middle-earth Royal Court.

Most of the time, the royal court would sit back and watch the changes on all sides, secretly guiding their direction and weakening the forces of all parties.

Or simply force a certain force to act as their black glove.

And in this battle for the Taibai Sword Sect, the Royal Court of Middle-earth will have to personally intervene.

Although no one knows why, as long as it is the action of the royal court, the major forces will never sit idly by.

Especially since the royal court has shown a tough stance this time, we must stop it.

Even if it means losing some interests, we will not let the royal court succeed.

Finally, after several years of bargaining and compromise among all parties, they made the agreement that the gods could not leave.

But there are pros and cons. When things get so serious, forces that are unaware of the situation and have no intention of getting involved will also get involved.

By then, it would not be surprising if the number of Nascent Soul cultivators gathered outside of Taibai Sword Sect would reach three digits.
