Several months later.
Jadeite Cliff.
Above the Red Blood Spirit Field, layers of mist continuously shifted and adjusted according to Fang Xi’s will…
The entire Little Cloud Rain Array had, after Fang Xi’s fine-tuning, grown at least several times more powerful!
“It’s finally complete… I can now barely be considered a first-tier junior Array Master,”
Fang Xi, holding a Prohibition Token, showed a hint of joy on his face.
After this period of deep research, his progress in the array path had been incredibly swift!
It could only be said that Divine Consciousness was indeed an unparalleled aid in assisting the cultivation of the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation!
Now, his study of arrays was almost like he had cheats enabled.
It was only now that Fang Xi realized, the same array, if set up as a static Killing Array versus one manipulated by an array master, differed so greatly in power it was like night and day.
And the difference between simple-minded operations using a Prohibition Token versus an Array Master personally overseeing the array was equally vast.
Specifically, a static Killing Array was most easily interfered with by a prohibition-breaking talisman of the same tier, potentially creating a pathway thereby allowing entering and destruction by invaders.
Whereas a dynamic array could quickly minimize losses, trapping or diverting enemies that entered the array.
As for an Array Master’s controlled array?
“Beginner-level array mastery is just the foundation; after that, there are the techniques of ‘layering arrays’ and ‘nesting arrays.’ Simply put, it’s an ‘array within an array’!”
Fang Xi solved an array formation problem, his eyes brightening: “So, the so-called ‘nesting array’ is literally an array within another array, set up within the confines of the main array, how ingenious!”
With this, even if the enemy used a Prohibition-breaking Talisman to enter the array, they would only fall into an even more formidable trapping or killing array.
Moreover, as the array operated, it could automatically repair any vulnerabilities—preventing easy destruction by Prohibition-breaking Talismans.
Just then, Fang Xi suddenly sensed someone approaching from outside the array.
Without a second thought, Fang Xi formed a Magic Spell with his fingers and cast it into the nearby fog.
The clouds dispersed to reveal a pathway.
Feng Man Building, holding a Voice Transmission Talisman and ready to knock, was surprised to see the path open before him. However, he still flew in: “Fang!”
His expression was slightly anxious, but he did not notice any change in Fang Xi’s cultivation level.
That was a little trick Fang Xi had figured out recently.
After developing Divine Consciousness, and relying on the special trait of being one with the Monster Tree, he could ‘store’ part of his Magic Power within the Tree itself, effectively masking his cultivation level.
Now, even to cultivators at the latter stage of Qi Refining or even those at Great Perfection, he appeared to be an ordinary Level 6 Qi Refining Cultivator with average magic power.
“Feng, with such haste, is there an urgent matter?”
Fang Xi asked casually.
“This is bad, the Old Gold Teeth Weirdo from Golden Flame Island has recovered from his injuries and has started to bully again, wanting to forcibly buy out the shops we own on Ling Kong Island!”
Feng Man Building said urgently: “The Island Master has asked Mr. Fang to go to Mirror Moon Lake to discuss countermeasures!”
“The Old Gold Teeth Weirdo?”
Fang Xi’s eyes narrowed slightly.
This Level 10 Qi Refining old cultivator, whom he had beaten half to death, had been recuperating for years before cautiously probing the surroundings for several years.
After discovering that his ‘Silver Armor Giant’ foe had left, he started to become unbridled again.
But then was then, and now is now.
He was practicing ‘Longevity Skills,’ which strictly bound him from leaving Jadeite Cliff even for half a step.
Therefore, Fang Xi could only give an apologetic smile: “Feng, I’m sorry… I have no intention of leaving Peach Blossom Island to start more conflicts!”
Feng Man Building was taken aback: “This is the Island Master’s personal invitation!?”
Although Fang Xi’s status was somewhat aloof even compared to a guest, shouldn’t he at least give some face to the Island Master?
“Goodbye, I won’t see you out!”
Fang Xi’s expression gradually became emotionless as he turned and walked away.
“You… ah!”
Feng Man Building could only stamp his foot in frustration before reluctantly heading back to report.
…
“It’s not that I don’t want to; it’s that I really can’t!”
Watching Feng Man Building’s retreating figure, Fang Xi sighed deeply.
Bound by the ‘Longevity Skills,’ he couldn’t travel far from Jadeite Cliff; indeed, he was willing but powerless.
“Eh? That’s not right!”
“Now that my Magic Power has reached the latter stages of Qi Refining, and with Divine Consciousness assisting me, my connection with the Monster Tree is even closer… I haven’t tried the maximum distance yet!”
“And furthermore…”
Fang Xi took a step and entered the fog, arriving outside of Jadeite Cliff in the blink of an eye.
One mile, two miles…
Four miles, five miles!
The sensation of the heavenly cycle about to be disrupted, which used to arise, did not reemerge!
Fang Xi’s eyes lit up as he continuously tested this limit.
Eventually, when he moved about ten miles away from Jadeite Cliff, he felt that sense of the connection about to break once again.
“Ten miles? There’s still some distance from Mirror Moon Lake…”
He sighed softly but didn’t feel discouraged.
On the contrary, with a single thought from Fang Xi, the Monster Tree boomed out loud as countless roots began to concentrate and burst through in one direction!
In an instant, they passed through the Little Cloud Rain Array and spread several miles westward from Jadeite Cliff!
The Monster Tree had always been limited by Fang Xi, but in truth, if allowed, its roots could spread horrifyingly wide!
In the future, it could even cover the whole of Peach Blossom Island without any problems!
And within the range of the roots, the area could naturally be considered part of the Monster Tree’s true body!
With this, Fang Xi’s limit could once again extend outward, reaching Mirror Moon Lake and the Twin Peaks region!
“I can… finally stop being imprisoned.”
“Or rather, has the prison expanded, from Jadeite Cliff to the expanse of Peach Blossom Island?”
Fang Xi began to walk back.
And as he returned, the Monster Tree’s roots were also slowly retracting.
Without the protection of the Little Cloud Rain Array, there was still a risk of the Monster Tree’s main body being discovered.
This kind of root spreading could only happen when Fang Xi needed to go to Mirror Moon Lake!
Moreover, the Monster Tree used to be small, and its roots couldn’t extend so far, but now it could just barely manage it.
Although he could go to Mirror Moon Lake, Fang Xi had no plans to take action in the matter of Old Gold Teeth Weirdo this time.
After all, it was just about grabbing the shops that the Feng, Mo, and Ruan Families ran on Ling Kong Island – it wasn’t a matter of life and death survival!
‘However, Old Gold Teeth Weirdo is a Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivator, and he has recently become shameless in scavenging resources. Could it be that he was stimulated by Yu Lingzi and wants to make a breakthrough to Foundation Establishment?’
An abrupt thought flashed through Fang Xi’s mind.
If Old Gold Teeth Weirdo managed to establish his foundation, it would be a big disaster!
However, Fang Xi really couldn’t take him down in the past when he had the Great Array to protect the island.
After all, the opponent was at the peak of Qi Refining!
…
In the courtyard of Jadeite Cliff.
Daqing Fish found no one in the yard and comfortably blew bubbles.
Pop pop!
One bubble after another surfaced, even attempting to break through the Array that trapped it.
“Daqing Fish, you’re not being obedient!”
Suddenly, a voice emerged next to it.
Daqing Fish shuddered, its huge, dead fish eyes spotted the detestable human who somehow was standing by the pond, smiling at it.
This made Daqing Fish feel the difficulty of its fish life!
“The ten-year period has come, it’s time for sashimi!”
Fang Xi laughed heartily and suddenly formed a hand seal with both hands.
A cloud of mist descended, turning into chains that captured Daqing Fish.
Daqing Fish, which had reached first-grade mid-quality, struggled in vain; it couldn’t do anything about the seemingly flimsy cloud chains.
Large teardrops fell from Daqing Fish’s eyes onto the ground, making a crisp sound.
They were pearls!
“Fish Tears Transformed into Pearls? If in the mortal world, they would also be considered rare treasures…”
Fang Xi relaxed his grip on the knife and pressed down on Daqing Fish’s head, “Could it be that you have the bloodline of a mermaid? That’s not right… I clearly fed you Snake Dragon essence blood!”
“Enough, seeing as you’re still somewhat useful, I’ll give you another chance!”
The next moment, Fang Xi formed another hand seal, his Divine Consciousness projected outward, piercing fiercely into Daqing Fish!
Daqing Fish shuddered, its enormous dead fish eyes looking on.
According to Miao Dong’s beast taming heritage, a Foundation Establishment cultivator branding beasts with Divine Consciousness was invariably successful.
Qi Refining cultivators, lacking Divine Consciousness, required tools like the Blood Pact Document instead.
Fang Xi was now using the Divine Consciousness branding method from the beast taming heritage to forcibly sign a Master-Servant Contract with Daqing Fish!
Moments later, the branding succeeded.
Unless Daqing Fish advanced to Foundation Establishment, it would hardly be able to resist any of Fang Xi’s thoughts!
This was the power of Foundation Establishment Divine Consciousness!
“I am giving you another ten years. All the remaining Snake Dragon essence blood is yours. If you still can’t advance to first-grade high-quality Fish King, then I have no choice but to kill you and eat your flesh,” Fang Xi said nonchalantly, slapping Daqing Fish back into the pond.
Daqing Fish wept profusely, although it lost its freedom as a demon, at least it kept its life.
Hearing the command of its master, it nodded again and again.
…
After subduing Daqing Fish, Fang Xi went to the bug room to check on the Golden Turtle beetles.
He picked out all the Cyan Flower Golden Beetles and tamed them one by one using the methods from the ‘Bug Control Notes’.
As stated in the notes, there were two methods to control groups of monster beetles like the Golden Turtle beetles.
Foll𝑜w current novels on fɾēewebnσveℓ.com.
The first was to cultivate a Beetle King and then establish a Divine Consciousness contract with it. Commanding the swarm through the Beetle King wouldn’t be as precise as if it were an extension of one’s own limb, but the swarm had its own order and was fairly obedient, also consuming less.
The second method was to set up a specialized ‘Contract Array’, add the cultivator’s Essence Blood, and sign a comparatively weak contract with each monster beetle. In this way, controlling the swarm could accomplish many delicate operations, but it would consume a great deal of the cultivator’s Essence Blood and Divine Consciousness.
After weighing the pros and cons, Fang Xi naturally chose the first method. He selected the largest and most demonically charged beetle from among the Cyan Flower Golden Beetles to cultivate as the Beetle King, then signed a Master-Servant Contract with it to command the swarm.
After completing all this, he realized he lacked a Spirit Beast Bag!
The Golden Turtle beetles were living creatures, and couldn’t be stored in a Storage Bag.
Since he had not considered the necessity of raising Spiritual Beasts before, he had not purchased a Spirit Beast Bag in advance.
This was a case of even the wise can sometimes err.
Fortunately, Fang Xi had servants to run errands.
He thought for a moment, then called for Lu Guo.
“What can I do for you, Master?” Lu Guo’s posture was very submissive.
“Cultivators from Peach Blossom Island have exchange meets at Mirror Moon Lake on the first and fifteenth of the month. Take this bag of Spirit Stones and see if there are any Spirit Beast Bags; buy two if you can,” Fang Xi handed a small bag to Lu Guo, filled with lower-grade Spirit Stones the size of fingernails.
“Yes!”
Lu Guo’s eyes flickered; he had grown accustomed to running errands for Fang Xi and occasionally managed to pocket a little extra money for himself.
