Chapter 77 Arrival on the Island
Chapter 77 Arrival on the Island
Xuan Yi and the Purple Flame Old Monster had known each other for a while, but they had only exchanged a few sarcastic remarks, which Xuan Yi didn't seem to mind.
Of course, the Purple Flame Old Monster wouldn't dare to really provoke Xuan Yi, after all, Xuan Yi was the only cultivator among them at the Void Reaching stage.
As for the Purple Flame Old Monster, although he is not weak, being a peak cultivator in the late stage of the Pure Void realm, there is a vast chasm between the Pure Void realm and the Void realm. If they were to fight, the Purple Flame Old Monster would undoubtedly be defeated within three moves, and even if Xuan Yi were to go all out, one move would be enough.
With the arrival of Tongtian Valley, the five academies were all present, and the independent cultivators were also almost all there. Unlike the five academies, independent cultivators entered with a gathering token, and generally, they could not obtain a teleportation token.
The one in charge of activating the outermost barrier of the Descent Island this time is Taibai Jinxing of the Heavenly Court. "Gentlemen, the Descent Island event, which occurs once every three hundred years, is about to begin. I shall commence!"
As Taibai Jinxing chanted the incantation to break the seal, he shouted and a rune shot from his fingertip, landing on the barrier of the Descent Island. In an instant, the dense restrictions cracked open like melting ice and snow!
Looking at Venus's method of breaking the barrier, Fang Xiu wondered if he could do it himself. Don't forget that Guang Hua Zi is not only the number one array master in the Immortal Realm, but also the number one barrier-breaking master. Fang Xiu has been learning more than just arrays during this period.
A vortex rotates in the center of the large hole, which is the teleportation array to enter the island.
"Time is of the essence, everyone hurry up and get in!"
"Charge!"
"Wait! My chicken leg!"
One after another, hundreds of figures flew into the vortex. The rogue cultivators rushed in the fastest, followed by the people from the five academies. Among the rogue cultivators, a figure wearing a black robe to conceal his figure quietly blended into the crowd and entered the island of descent.
"It's done!" The black-robed figure was naturally a clone released by Fang Xiu. As for the token for entering, it came from Yan Xiaoqi, whom Fang Xiu had entrusted to obtain for him.
"Huh? Why isn't this student going in yet?"
Everyone else was heading towards the teleportation vortex, but Fang Xiu remained motionless.
"Alas! My disciple is unlucky; he recently broke through to the Void Realm by accident and will miss this trip to the island."
Xuan Yi appeared to be lamenting, but inwardly he was overjoyed. He wasn't actually regretting it; he was clearly showing off. Although there were many spiritual materials on Descent Island, not everyone who went there could break through to the Pure Void Realm.
Upon hearing Xuan Yi's words, the teachers leading the other four universities looked at Fang Xiu in disbelief. As fellow cultivators of the Pure Void Realm, how could they not understand the difficulty of breaking through to the Pure Void Realm? How could this be done carelessly?
While they scoffed at Xuan Yi's statement, it didn't stop them from showering him with compliments. After all, ordinary people might not be able to break through even after ten or even several decades of cultivation, and Fang Xiu was clearly an anomaly just by looking at him. For an anomaly to be able to cultivate so quickly must mean he had extraordinary talent.
Such a promising genius, and since there was no deep-seated hatred between them, everyone was naturally willing to cultivate good relations.
After chatting for a while, the people outside took out the things they had prepared in advance to pass the time. They had to wait outside for a year, although based on past experience, some people might start to quit one or two months later.
At this moment, Fang Xiu had already immersed a portion of his mind into his magical clone.
After entering the teleportation array, everyone who enters the island is dispersed to various parts of the island, mostly on the outer perimeter, with few going deeper. Everyone can freely choose whether to stay on the outer perimeter or continue to go deeper.
Fang Xiu's clone landed in a dense forest. There were no particularly distinctive landmarks around. Recalling the map that Xuan Yi had explained to everyone earlier, Fang Xiu judged that he was probably in the western part of the outer area, where there was the most trees.
Fang Xiu looked up and saw a gap about ten meters in size centered on him. Outside the gap was a dense forest, and inside the gap was nothing but Fang Xiu.
Gluttony!
As a magical clone, Fang Xiu's magical power is limited. Once the magical power is exhausted, it will automatically dissipate. Fortunately, he can replenish the missing power by eating.
With his gluttony, as long as it's not a prolonged battle, Fang Xiu's clone is basically safe from dissipating. However, this doesn't mean he can rest easy. Inside the mist-shrouded Descent Island, there are four Qingxu hidden, and there's an array connecting them to the Mulan Clan.
Having inherited gluttony, Fang Xiu's teeth became even better, and the sand, stones, and trees tasted quite delicious.
After thinking for a moment, Fang Xiu took out a magical artifact that resembled a compass. This thing had a similar effect to a compass; it could store the magical power of others inside and point out the direction of the other party within a hundred miles.
The island's diameter is probably only about ten kilometers, and such a magical artifact would be enough to cover the entire island.
Similar magical artifacts are not only found in the Divine Academy, but also in basically all five major academies, in order to allow weaker students to seek out experts when necessary.
The five universities do not require students to participate in activities together; it is entirely voluntary.
Holding the magic artifact to determine the direction, Fang Xiu did not rush over. With Kendall protecting him, Xiao Qi's safety was still guaranteed, unless Xiao Qi was foolish enough to let Kendall leave him. Moreover, other people also had the same magic artifact, so they would probably go looking for Xiao Qi as well... right?
As Fang Xiu walked toward Xiao Qi, he took out the materials he had placed in his storage bag.
Words of Power: Heaven and Earth as a Furnace!
As Fang Xiu thought, the elements surged, and an invisible, powerful magnetic field emerged, as if forming an unseen, enormous furnace between heaven and earth. The flame of his spirit pulsed with Fang Xiu's will.
Old metals are dying, while new metals are being reborn.
The reshaping was not the end, but the beginning. The metal was like a lump of soft clay in Fang Xiu's hands, which he could manipulate at will. Fang Xiu held the metal in one hand and used two fingers of his other hand as a knife to carve on it.
Alchemy + Formation
Gluttony restored his magical power, alchemy became the foundation, and the properties of materials were altered so that even ordinary materials could withstand the formation. Then he carved the formation that Fang Xiu needed.
In no time at all, an instant-cast array plate was completed. After finishing one, Fang Xiu continued his work and took out another one.
It wasn't that no one saw Fang Xiu on the road, but no one went up to cause him trouble. Firstly, there was no benefit in it; instead of wasting time causing trouble, they would rather go find those demonic beasts and spiritual herbs. Secondly, Fang Xiu's aura was completely undisguised; the aura of the tenth level of Jade Void was enough to intimidate most people.
Meanwhile, Yan Xiaoqi was wreaking havoc in a canyon in the northern part of the island.
Ten minutes ago, Yan Xiaoqi landed directly on the top of a mountain peak and immediately discovered a spiritual herb not far away.
Although Yan Xiaoqi was not good at cultivation, he knew a lot about various spiritual plants and treasures, and was known as the "encyclopedia of the immortal realm".
Yan Xiaoqi recognized it at a glance as a Floating Light Grass. This spiritual grass is beneficial to cultivators with spiritual cultivation abilities, as it can stabilize the soul and make it easier to practice spells.
Just as Yan Xiaoqi was about to pick the Floating Light Grass, he was robbed.
The newcomer was a rogue cultivator with a fierce look on his face. Yan Xiaoqi was about to back down, since fighting wouldn't be worth it. It was just a Floating Light Grass; what was wrong with giving it to him?
Then another person arrived, who also seemed to be from the Forget-Worry Pavilion. Both sides seemed hostile, leaving Yan Xiaoqi caught in the middle. He had no choice but to unleash his ultimate move.
"Let's go, KFC!"
