Komuroyama.
The aroma of burning oil filled the air, accompanied by unsettling chanting.
The old blind man lay on the ground, looking at a Tantric practitioner wearing a bright yellow rooster hat and a bright red monk's robe. His voice was like a cuckoo crying blood: "Myo-huo Ming-zi, I am willing to atone for my sins. Please have mercy and spare my family. I have already calculated that the cause and effect are settled. I should not suffer this calamity in my old age."
Not far ahead, Miao Huomingzi was sitting cross-legged with his hands clasped together, and a brazier was placed in front of him.
He had slightly dark skin, a high nose bridge, and deep-set eyes. He smiled slightly and said, "Benefactor—you have no misfortune, but instead have great merit, because you have brought a Vajra protector to our path—this is a great achievement."
"Then why?"
Although the old blind man's empty eyes could not see, he could already sense the tragic state of his family.
"This is your good fortune. The Buddha has come specifically to guide you—to be reborn in the Vajrayana realm life after life, sharing in ultimate bliss. Isn't that wonderful?"
"Only those with great merit can offer their physical bodies as offerings, becoming instruments of Dharma in the hands of the Guru. To receive the Guru's blessings through chanting day and night—what a blessing this is!"
Miao Huomingzi replied naturally.
The old blind man was speechless for a moment.
Miao Huomingzi, however, clasped his hands together and murmured a sutra: "The three realms are without peace, like a burning house—seeing that the five aggregates are all empty—"
As the chanting of sutras continued, flames burst forth from the brazier in front of him, leaping and bounding about.
This is a unique fire offering ritual from the esoteric realm, capable of protection, enhancement, and divination.
Miao Huomingzi took out the offerings one by one and put them into the fire basin.
A graceful young woman stepped forward carrying a tray filled with various gold and silver items, as well as freshly harvested spirit rice.
Her eyes burned with intensity, her pupils seemingly reflecting only the flames before her.
Stab it!
Gold, silver, and rice were thrown into the brazier, making a sizzling sound.
The flame flickered, and a few fleeting images flashed by, but they were very blurry.
"This person—truly blessed by destiny. I finally found Mount Komuro, which is connected to him, and offered it as a sacrifice, performing this fire offering ritual, yet I still couldn't break through this barrier?"
Miao Huo Mingzi licked his lips, somewhat surprised and somewhat greedy: "Indeed, it is precisely this kind of Dharma Protector Vajra's aura that enabled Sangji Guru to ascend to the rank of Dharma King!"
Mingzi, as the guru, worshipped Sangji as his sole personal deity, fervently venerating him and desperately hoping that the guru would succeed, in which case he would also reap immense benefits.
"The offerings of ordinary goods are no longer enough; the Buddha needs female blood offerings!"
Miao Huo formed the Lion Mudra with both hands and shouted, "Why aren't you making your move yet?"
"Granddaughter—no!"
The old blind man's eyes had run dry of tears; he could only hear the sound of blood gushing from his ears, cascading down like a waterfall.
"Found it!"
In her ear came the joyful voice of Miao Huo Mingzi: "Haha—I knew it! Even if you have the protection of destiny, what about the people around you? With this person as a clue, we can definitely find their whereabouts—at that time, I will be the Mingzi that Master loves the most."
At this moment, the numerous fleeting shadows above the brazier paused, revealing the image of a short, dwarf old man.
The old blind man collapsed, still seething with resentment: "Why did I travel the world back then? Why did I go to that damned Secret Realm?"
Taibai Island.
As the island's highest-ranking garrison commander and de facto island lord, Fang Qing lived a very comfortable life.
The rumored great battle of cultivation did not immediately take place, possibly because the third-order spiritual contract signed by the two Core Formation ancestors had not yet completely expired.
He now enjoys a near-third-tier spiritual vein all to himself, meditating, refining his qi, and occasionally patrolling the entire island.
If you get tired of that, you can go to the Sancai Market area to stroll around and listen to music in the brothels—life is exceptionally pleasant.
This day.
Inside the Ice Palace.
Bei Lingshu was handing over the intelligence he had recently gathered to Fang Qing.
-
"Is Sanyuan Island about to descend into chaos? Perhaps this is some kind of harbinger of a major war?"
Fang Qing read the jade slip, then called Ma Xin over, and the three of them discussed it together.
"The Lu and Jiang families, who control Sanyuan Island, should be under the command of my Bihai Sect, right?"
He spoke with some doubt.
"This—the Foundation Establishment forces of Sanyuan Island were opportunists when the three Core Formation forces coexisted—but after my Bihai Sect unified the Lesser Universe Sea, they immediately surrendered. Now, it's really hard to say what will happen to them."
Bei Lingshu and Ma Xin exchanged a glance, and it was Ma Xin who spoke first.
"Sanyuan Island's geographical location is very important; if war breaks out—this place will be the key point."
Fang Qing sighed, there was nothing to say.
The Foundation Establishment factions are all opportunists, especially since the Azure Sea Sect's domineering actions had already aroused widespread dissatisfaction.
To be fair, if Sanyuan Island had chosen to remain neutral, that would have been a pretty good outcome.
"I've heard that the two major families on Sanyuan Island previously raised a large sum of resources through an auction, intending to cultivate the Longevity Turtle and advance it to the second-tier superior grade—this turtle has extraordinary bloodline, and if it can advance to the second-tier superior grade, it will probably have the combat power of a pseudo-core cultivator—"
After a moment's hesitation, Bei Lingshu spoke.
"So the Lu family actually supports it?"
Ma Xin was somewhat surprised.
"Pseudo-Core Formation combat power—even if the Core Formation elders don't intervene, perhaps they can still act as pawns?" Fang Qing smiled slightly. "Normally, the three Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Lu family might be unwilling, but now that the Little Universe Sea is in turmoil, there is a slight possibility—after all, the higher the Longevity Turtle's combat power, the more likely they are to remain safe amidst the chaos of war—and perhaps even seize the spoils of war to cultivate the Longevity Turtle to the third tier?"
"How dare they think that?"
Ma Xindu found it somewhat unbelievable.
Core Formation combat strength?
Is this something that independent cultivators or even Foundation Establishment forces outside could even conceive of?
"Isn't this what we cultivate immortality for?"
Fang Qing waved his hand, dismissing the two Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Since there's still some free time before war breaks out, we can deal with the unstable forces in the vicinity first.
For example, the Lu family and the Jiang family on Sanyuan Island —
If they really manage to raise the Longevity Turtle to a second-tier superior grade—then I'll secretly kill it?
Fang Qing stroked his chin: "Isn't this a bit too inhumane?"
They had a tortoise that had been passed down for three generations. They had gone through so much trouble, exhausting all their efforts and resources to cultivate it, and finally they could catch their breath, but then it did nothing right.
Who knows, their ancestors might even rise from their coffins!
Just as Fang Qing was pondering, his expression changed.
Xu Hei has made a gain in the ancient Shu region!
"There's actually a sequel to 'Horse-Headed Vajra Guardian Divine Skill'? Just in time for me to urgently improve my physique and spiritual awareness." Fang Qing's expression was inscrutable.
According to Xu Hei's experience, he not only found clues, but also purchased the second level of this technique - "The Vajra Prajna Sequence of the Mule Face"!
From the perspective of the exercise method, it should be verified to be correct.
The seller even claimed to have the third and even fourth versions of the content, as well as a large jar of Vajra Ghee suitable for this body-refining method, waiting for the next transaction.
"We couldn't find it for so many years, but the moment the esoteric monks crossed the sea to the East, we found the follow-up—clearly, the source was those esoteric Buddhists."
The hook went straight down—but it's definitely worth a try.
Fang Qing touched his storage bag and smiled slightly.
Others thought he was just a Fang Shui in the early stage of Dao Foundation, and that he cultivated the "Ji Shui" Dao Foundation Long-lasting Sweet Rain, which no one could defeat.
But in reality, his strongest skill right now is not the [Lou Jin] sword cultivation method, but the "Azure Sea Technique"!
"Sometimes, when the numbers are off the charts, it can be quite frightening."
Although he decided to go fishing, Fang Qing did not go to Gu Shu immediately.
Anyway, Xu Hei's life isn't worth much. If we haggle with the seller a bit more, we might get even more fishhooks.
As long as you dare to lay the bait, Fang Qing will take it!
Beside the icy, cold spring.
He sat half-fallen, holding the treasure vase mudra, visualizing the form of Hayagriva, and silently activated the Dharma, beginning the second level of the "Hayagriva Protector Divine Skill" - the Mule-faced Vajra Prajna Sequence!
"Prajna means wisdom!"
This stage places greater emphasis on the development of the spiritual consciousness.
Fang Qing's skin glowed with a bronze hue as he felt the slight enhancement of his divine sense under the effect of the visualization diagram. He couldn't help but feel a surge of joy: "As expected—it's about what I estimated. This second stage is equivalent to the second-tier body refinement—if I can achieve perfection, I should have a high-grade second-tier body refinement, or even a near-third-tier one?"
As for the various unusual occurrences during the practice of this Dharma Protector Divine Skill?
He naturally used the Dao-born Pearl to completely dissolve it.
"good!"
"Cultivating by this icy spring allows one to temper their physique with the chilling energy of the third-tier Ice Soul—the effect, though inferior to Vajra Ghee, is still better than burying oneself in arduous training—"
After a period of cultivation, Fang Qing felt his physique, which had been still for a long time, slightly improve, and he was very satisfied.
"I'll resolve the matter of Ancient Shu after I've cultivated for a longer period of time."
"Haste makes waste, no need to rush—maybe Moyun Cliff is planning something big, with a dozen or so Purple Mansion cultivators coming down from the cliff, and then the Ancient Shu cultists will have to go back to where they came from again, right?"
Fang Qing calmed down and stopped refining pills every day, focusing solely on body cultivation.
Before we knew it, another six months had passed.
Leaving aside how furious Miao Huomingzi was being manipulated by Xu Hei in the ancient Shu region, the situation in the Xiao Huan Hai region was also turbulent and unpredictable.
This day.
Fang Qing was practicing body tempering when he suddenly frowned.
He reached out and opened the barrier, and immediately a sound transmission talisman flew in.
"Oh?"
Fang Qing's expression shifted, and he transformed into a streak of light, arriving inside the Ice and Snow Palace.
Bei Lingshu and Ma Xin were both present, along with several late-stage Qi Refining disciples, all of whom looked terrified.
"Look at you all, what kind of behavior is this?"
With a flash of light, Fang Qing appeared in the main seat and gave a shout.
"Island Lord—again—again, war has begun."
Ma Xin's face was extremely grim: "Our sect has once again gone to war with the Sea Extinction Alliance, and all the spirit islands are on edge—even the sect's transport ships here are being harassed, and the safety of the shipping routes cannot be guaranteed."
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Qing frowned: "Our sect's shipping route—Sanyuan Island—is a crucial node. This incident is inextricably linked to the Lu and Jiang families. Are they preparing to completely side with the Annihilation Alliance?"
"I'm afraid so. If the air route is really cut off, we will be immediately isolated and helpless." Bei Lingshu's face was a little pale.
"It seems that the Jiang family's Longevity Turtle might actually have become a high-grade second-tier monster—comparable to a fake core cultivator?"
Fang Qing secretly calculated for a moment, then said, "In any case, let's each do our duty and keep an eye on Taibai Island. We don't need to worry about anything else."
