Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 534: The Mad King

Fang Chen looked puzzled. "I said that?"

Fairy Yu frowned.

Seeing that she had gotten angry, Fang Chen chuckled and admitted, "Of course, I meant what I said."

Fairy Yu snorted. "Good."

Fang Chen smiled. "You must be tired. Go and rest."

Fairy Yu's eyes lit up. "Will you accompany me, my lord?"

"Of course not." Fang Chen shook his head slightly. "I have some things to attend to. Don't forget, someone might be using the Heaven Profound Mirror to watch you."

"True...."

Looking slightly annoyed, Fairy Yu got up and headed to a quiet chamber, planning to rest for a few days.

After Fairy Yu left, Fang Chen immediately took out the communication token of the Killing Spiritual Division.

"Fellow cultivators, do you have a list of Spirit Blood Sect cultivators?"

After waiting for a while, a response finally appeared.

"Are you new here?

"How did you know?"

"All the Killing Spiritual Division cultivators around here know who belongs to the Spirit Blood Sect. If you're passing through, don't interfere with our affairs. We're in the process of closing in on one of them."

They're closing in on someone?

Fang Chen nodded lightly and stopped communicating. He didn't want to disturb the work of other Killing Spiritual Division cultivators.

Besides, Fairy Yu's lifespan could still support her for quite a few years. Thirty years wasn't long, but it wasn't too short either. Perhaps, during the next thirty years, he could find a way to resolve the problem of the Inverse Immortal Demonic Embryo.

"Little Mirror, can people with the Inverse Immortal Demonic Embryo really only live for thirty years?"

"Who said that? As long as the owner of the Inverse Immortal Demonic Embryo keeps devouring the lifespan of others, they can live on indefinitely.

"In fact, it's beneficial for sword cultivators. Your life spans are already short. The Inverse Immortal Demonic Embryo compensates for that weakness."

Fang Chen shook his head lightly. "Unless you truly succumb to the dark side and start targeting innocent people, where would you find so many people to kill? We can't do that.”

"You mortals are really something. Why distinguish between what's demonic and what's not? In the Immortal Realm, such distinctions don't exist. As long as you're strong enough and live long enough, you're considered to be an Immortal."

Fang Chen was slightly taken aback. "Is there no division between good and evil in the Immortal Realm?"

"The so-called good and evil are just different perspectives. In fact, the methods of the Spirit Blood Sect that you've been investigating resemble those of certain individuals in the Immortal Realm."

Fang Chen fell silent immediately. It seemed that the Immortal Realm was different from what he had imagined. Perhaps it was even less humane than the mortal cultivation world, with only different stances.

"Little Mirror, it seems there are nine consciousnesses hidden in the bloodstains on Little Sword. Besides what I did back then, is there any other way to communicate with them?" Fang Chen asked casually.

"Communicate with them?" Mirror of the Universe pondered. "I advise you not to do that. Although they are only postnatal spiritual consciousnesses, their original owners were very powerful in their lifetime, indicating that the former master of Little Sword was also a strong figure in the Immortal Realm. Trying to communicate with them at your current level is like inviting disaster."

After a pause, Mirror of the Universe continued, "If you're willing to spend fifty thousand low-grade spirit stones, perhaps I can propose a method, but whether you can achieve it depends entirely on you."

Fang Chen thought about it for a moment, then he took out fifty thousand low-grade spirit stones and handed them to Mirror of the Universe.

As Mirror of the Universe busied itself digesting the spirit stones, Fang Chen began to go through his possession. He still had fifty-three thousand low-grade spirit stones left. As for magical treasures, aside from the Binding Bell, Little Sword had consumed everything else.

"It's a pity I used the third sword when breaking the Sealing Immortal Formation." Fang Chen sighed inwardly. "Its power was too overwhelming; all the storage rings on those Golden Core Realm cultivators were reduced to ashes. Otherwise, it would have made a considerable amount of spirit stones."

By now, Mirror of the Universe had already finished devouring the fifty thousand low-grade spirit stones.

It said cheerfully, "Brother, the Great Expansion Dao Gate has a technique called the Spiritual Attachment Technique. If you can obtain this technique, you can use it to refine the spirits in the blood. If successful, you can take them under your control."

Fang Chen frowned slightly. "Spiritual Attachment Technique?"

His enmity with the Great Expansion Dao Gate had escalated to irreconcilable levels; how could he have any chance of obtaining their Spiritual Attachment Technique?

It seemed he wouldn't be able to utilize the nine consciousnesses from the blood of the immortals in the foreseeable future.

After a moment of silence, Fang Chen checked the requirements for advancing to the third stage of the Radiant Divine Eyes.

Going through the spiritual materials required, Fang Chen found that every single one of them was extremely valuable. A few of them were even comparable to the Eye of Dusk. However, that wasn't the critical issue; the third stage of the Radiant Divine Eyes had an extremely strict requirement.

For a cultivator to condense the third stage Radiant Divine Eyes, they would have to already achieved the Enlightenment Realm. Otherwise, they would face a powerful backlash.

Fang Chen showed a bitter smile. "The Enlightenment Realm..."

He was currently in the Foundation Building Realm, tens of thousands of miles away from the Enlightenment Realm.

Once his matters there were settled, it was imperative for Fang Chen to swiftly reach the Three Thousand Dao Sect to obtain further cultivation techniques. It didn't matter how strong his abilities were. Without a solid cultivation base to rely on, he often lacked the confidence to go further.

The next day, someone knocked on the door of his cave. Fang Chen opened it to find dozens of Greenwood Sect cultivators gathered outside, ranging from Foundation Building Realm to Golden Core Realm cultivators.

"Is something the matter?" Fang Chen asked in confusion.

"It's really him!"

"I didn't expect him to have actually come to the sect!"

"We've seen the legendary Mad King with our own eyes!"

The many Greenwood Sect cultivators were clearly very excited as they traded whisperers among themselves.

"The Mad King?"

Several of the Golden Core cultivators at the forefront awkwardly smiled, using their eyes to signal the others to quiet down.

Then, one of them respectfully greeted Fang Chen with folded hands. "Apologies for disturbing you, Daoist Xia. Some of my junior and senior martial siblings saw your remarkable presence in the Heaven Profound Mirror recently and insisted on coming to visit."

"Senior Brother Wu, who insisted on coming.... You're clearly the one who didn't have the courage to come alone and dragged us along...." someone muttered under their breath.

The Golden Core Realm cultivator's face stiffened momentarily. He shot a fierce glare at the speaker before awkwardly smiling back at Fang Chen.

Fang Chen understood the situation. Since these cultivators harbored no ill intentions, he engaged them openly, answering their questions and conversing freely.

From them, he learned about the origin of his nickname. It stemmed from the spectacle Fang Chen caused at the Immortal Dynasty Manor that day, which had resulted in two Dao Union stage cultivators getting beaten up. He had defeated famous experts like Ge Hong and even the Immortal Seedling, each one a renowned powerhouse in the Central Continent Empire.

Suddenly, someone's cold voice rang out, "The Mad King's reputation has grown so large that it can now influence Greenwood Sect. Quite impressive indeed."

The words carried a hint of mockery and anger.

The crowd was immediately taken aback.

Someone quickly asked, "Who are you, young lady? You don't seem to be from the Greenwood Sect."

Fang Chen's gaze shifted slightly.

In the crowd stood a young woman. Her cultivation was at around the mid-stage of the Golden Core Realm.

She stared at Fang Chen darkly and said, "My ancestor was supposed to have purchased the Vast Origin Fruit, but because of a single word from the Mad King, we have been unable to obtain it. It seems the so-called rules of Greenwood Sect are laughable indeed."

Her words were not only aimed at Fang Chen but also at the Greenwood Sect disciples present.

Several Golden Core Realm cultivators from Greenwood Sect frowned deeply but did not speak out easily because it involved the Vast Origin Fruit.

The Vast Origin Fruit was mostly sold to those about to face their Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations, with most being Dao Union stage cultivators.

The woman before them might be a descendant of one such expert.
