Chapter 71 Landing Island
Gao Yuan escaped using Blood Spirit Escape, a heretical spell that sacrifices the pawn to save the king. The caster shatters the body and soul simultaneously in an instant, and then they converge in a pre-arranged location.
However, although this method has a near 100% escape rate, the cost is too high, as the reassembled flesh and soul are less than one-tenth of the original amount.
Under these circumstances, the plateau's combat strength has also weakened drastically. Not to mention its original strength at the Chongxu level, it's questionable whether it can even maintain the strength at the Qingxu level.
Moreover, after using this move, Gao Yuan's original body was destroyed, and the only way to restore his strength is to possess another body.
Originally, the Jade Emperor intended to make preparations in the Lingxiao Palace before launching an attack to capture Gaoyuan in one fell swoop, but unexpectedly, Long Cheng was resurrected and Gaoyuan also arrived, and the two directly confronted each other.
At this point, the Jade Emperor was already on the verge of action and had no choice but to act. If he didn't seize this opportunity now, it would be even more difficult to capture Gao Yuan later.
From then on, the desert frontier was abandoned, ending with the defection of Gao Yuan, the Imperial Guard of the Divine Court. The warrant for Gao Yuan's arrest was issued to the major powers of the Three Realms.
The Jade Emperor led Long Cheng and the others back to the Heavenly Court, while Fang Xiu and the other students naturally followed their teacher, Chang'e, back to the Divine Academy.
Fang Xiu gave Shifang to the Jade Emperor. The destruction of Shifang was not important; what mattered was the soul inside. The Jade Emperor would not covet a mere Shifang.
Moreover, Shifang was also an excuse. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fang Xiu launched a counterattack by reporting the Six Laws Celestial Venerable, who had not yet been exposed.
In fact, the battle between the Royalists and the New Alliance was not without a chance of victory. It was just that the Six Laws were too well hidden, and the Jade Emperor and his allies lost the initiative. Once they fell behind, they fell behind step by step.
After the desolate wilderness, it won't be long before the island of arrival descends. When the Mulan tribe invades, the Six Laws will take action. The pace is too fast.
From the moment we arrived on the island until the end, it took no more than three years at most. After all, this is a world of immortals and heroes, where individual strength is enough to surpass that of a group.
However, Fang Xiu has only just reached the Void Realm and is far from being able to dominate the world. Unless several more versions of himself come to the Gray Mist Space, he will be able to take off. But since his strength is not enough now, he needs to be flexible and adaptable.
Liu Fa was very well hidden. Before he was exposed, who would have thought that his true identity was actually Sheng Huang, the former patriarch of the Nanqiang tribe?
But who can blame him when Fang Xiu is an unreasonable time traveler? No matter how well he hides himself, he can't escape the consequences of his actions.
The Six Laws have been hiding in secret for so many years, waiting for an opportunity to strike. Now that the opponent's power has been established, Fang Xiu can only remind the Jade Emperor, hoping that he will be prepared.
As for whether the Jade Emperor believes it or not, that's his business. It's impossible to simply blame Liu Fa. That's why Fang Xiu also revealed the name of the other party, Sheng Huang. Liu Fa Tianzun is one of his own, but Sheng Huang is not.
As for how Fang Xiu knew, don't ask. If you do, someone told him. Anyway, Fang Xiu is a cultivator who has just broken through to the Pure Void Realm. Theoretically, he shouldn't even know about the Holy Phoenix, but he did. Fang Xiu doesn't need to say anything; the Jade Emperor will naturally come up with an explanation.
As Fang Xiu and the others returned to the Divine Academy, a colossal creature descended through space at Mount Hua in the mortal realm.
It is the otherworldly island that appears only once every three hundred years—the Descent Island!
The island was surrounded by hundreds of layers of seals, which were so impressive that they inspired awe in all who beheld them.
The Descent Island is a mysterious island from an unknown otherworld. It descends once every three hundred years, randomly appearing anywhere in the Three Realms, staying for a year and absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Through generations of research, although people in the Three Realms do not understand the significance of the Descent Island's arrival, they have found a way to break the restrictions on the Descent Island and enter it.
Although the island is only a hundred miles long and wide, it is exceptionally rich in spiritual energy and is home to many rare and even extinct natural treasures, spirit beasts and insects.
Therefore, each time the island descends, it attracts a struggle between various immortal schools, and several times it has almost escalated into war.
Later, the Heavenly Court, which possessed the most Void Realm and was the strongest at the time, stepped forward and established the rules for entering the Descent Island.
At that time, those qualified to enter the Descent Island were the five major academies, including the Divine Academy. Apart from the Divine Academy, the other four were the Extreme Cold Star Palace, the Heavenly Valley, the Forget-Worry Pavilion, and the Yellow Sand Academy.
However, that was back then. Now, times have changed. Apart from the five major universities, it is not difficult for those with certain strength and family background to go to the island.
There was a considerable amount of time between the arrival on the island and its opening. Fang Xiu and his group had just returned when they learned of this news.
Shenxiang Island No. 9, Xuan Yi's Residence.
In the open space in the front yard, Cui Shao was sparring with Xiao Hu. The two exchanged blows back and forth, and after a stick of incense had burned, the battle ended with Xiao Hu's victory.
Upon their return, everyone was informed about the island's arrival. Everyone except Fang Xiu was on the list of those selected, including Fang Xiu, but who would have thought that he would break through to the next level after going out?
As everyone knows, the Descent Island is designed for those at the Jade Void level; those at the Pure Void level cannot ascend there.
Upon returning, witnessing Fang Xiu, a peer of their age, break through to the Pure Void Realm further stimulated the group of proud geniuses, who then cultivated even more diligently.
Xiao Hu and the others were working hard to cultivate, and Fang Xiu certainly wouldn't stand still either. After breaking through to the Pure Void Realm, the cultivation techniques he could practice were naturally on another level. His natural multiple attributes gave Fang Xiu a unique advantage in magic, but knowing something doesn't mean being proficient in it.
If he could, Fang Xiu would certainly like to learn the unparalleled God-Slaying Technique of the Eastern Yi King, but it is clear that the Eastern Yi King, who is currently in a state of complacency, has completely ignored Fang Xiu's intentions.
"Strange, didn't you just break through to the Void Realm? Why does your aura feel so odd?"
Having finished his favorite little research, Xuan Yi came out to see what his beloved disciples were doing. He stood with his hands behind his back, circling around Fang Xiu with a puzzled expression on his face.
"It's probably because I've been practicing the Hunyuan Technique lately." As he spoke, Fang Xiu spread his palms out, and a black and white Tai Chi symbol swirled in his palm.
The Divine Academy's Scripture Pavilion contains countless spells, including the Taoist Hunyuan Jue. As the signature spell of Guang Huazi, a former cultivator of the Taixu sect, the Hunyuan Jue is essentially just a Qingxu spell, and Guang Huazi was the stronger one.
However, the Hunyuan Juesheng has great potential and is good at both offense and defense. But the corresponding difficulty of cultivation is extremely high. Normally, it would take ten days or half a month for a beginner to master such a spell. But Fang Xiu has only been back for three days and he has already mastered the Hunyuan Juesheng.
Fang Xiu's cultivation of the Hunyuan Technique can be described as smooth, but it is also quite easy for him. Perhaps it is because Douluo Fang Xiu's Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes and the Taiji Diagram of the Hunyuan Technique have similarities. In addition, with Fang Xiu's current talent, he mastered the basics in half a day and practiced for three days. Even Xuan Yi found it unbelievable.
Xuan Yi was skeptical of Fang Xiu's explanation. He was certain that Fang Xiu was still the same Fang Xiu and had not been possessed. That was enough for him. Xuan Yi turned to look at Cui Shao and the others.
After Xuan Yi left, Fang Xiu lowered his eyes. He hadn't expected that Teacher Xuan Yi was even more perceptive than he thought. He thought he had controlled things very well.
Although the realms after Jade Void are nominally divided into early, middle, late, and perfect stages, in reality they are still subdivided into the same levels as Jade Void: the early stage consists of three levels, the middle stage consists of four to six levels, the late stage consists of seven to nine levels, and the perfect stage consists of ten levels.
Having just broken through to the Pure Void Realm, Fang Xiu should have been at the first level of the Pure Void Realm, but at this moment he already possessed magical power approaching the third level of the Pure Void Realm, and his divine sense was even stronger, comparable to the late stage of the mid-Pure Void Realm.
On one hand, Fang Xiu himself had a profound spiritual foundation, and with the gift from Shifang, he was already stronger than others of the same level after advancing to the Qingxu level. On the other hand, it was the result of his "leveling up".
Fang Xiu killed the Nightmare Ancestor, and the battle energy he released was exceptionally abundant, giving Fang Xiu the possibility of advancing further after his breakthrough, especially his divine sense, which was already close to the late stage of the Pure Void realm.
