Chapter 580 12: The Fang Family's Foundation

The Spiritual Mechanism Incarnation hunted Celestial Demons in the Outer Void, replenishing its Taishi Demon Qi and lighting up the remaining few Thunder Pools.

Meanwhile, Fang Cheng's true body was on the Primordial Qi Celestial Island, enjoying some well-deserved relaxation and pleasure with his dao companions.

However, he wasn't completely idle.

First, he purged the demonic intent left by Ascendant Celestial Evil from the Sealed Demon Insect, helping it recover its cultivation.

Second, he guided the younger generation of his family in their cultivation. The Fang Family now had a total of twenty-eight Life Soul Realm cultivators, six of whom had already reached the Peak of Life Soul.

After Fang Cheng's enlightening guidance, their chances of successfully breaking through to the Dharma Realm after taking the White Tiger Divine Pill in the future were extremely high.

The other Fang Family disciples also benefited greatly.

No matter which World Heaven one was in, the status of being a personal disciple of a Tribulation Realm expert carried significant weight.

Furthermore, he and Mo Liushang worked together to consolidate the various precious materials he had collected over the years, combined them with the treasures accumulated in the Fang Family Treasure Vault, and forged another three Tier Five Feather Divine Soldiers.

Mo Liushang truly had an outstanding talent for Artifact Refining. Aside from the most difficult component, the Fifth-rank Xuan Du Jade Talisman, which required Fang Cheng to personally forge it, she completed all other parts independently.

She possessed Nine Spirit Mechanism Incarnations, all at the Peak of Dharma Phase, and could easily set up the Profound City Five Spirits Grand Array.

Just then, Fang Jingxuan returned. Fang Cheng gave the three Tier Five Feather Divine Soldiers to Ye Yan, Fang Jingyuan, and Fang Jingxuan, respectively.

Afterward, he activated the Ten Thousand Worlds Compass and took the three of them, along with Mo Liushang, to the Sand Soul Realm.

The Ten Thousand Worlds Compass was an incredibly rare spatial-type Magical Artifact. Even after reaching the Tribulation Realm, Fang Cheng had been unable to decipher its mysteries, let alone forge a replica.

He brought everyone to the Sand Soul Realm to resume the trade between the Fang Family and the Barbarian Race.

In the years since he had taken the Ten Thousand Worlds Compass, the trade between the Fang Family and the Sand Soul Realm had been temporarily suspended.

The Barbarian Tribes in the Sand Soul Realm had now accumulated a large amount of Taiqing Divine Iron and Merit Talismanic Coins. These could be exchanged for relatively inexpensive goods from the Red Profound Realm, such as Spirit Rice, Demon Beast Flesh and Blood, Spirit Pills, and Spirit Wine.

The brothers Fang Jingyuan and Fang Jingxuan were very familiar with this business and quickly got things running smoothly.

Fang Cheng, meanwhile, took Mo Liushang to the Extreme Heaven.

「 ... 」

Deep in the desert, high in the sky.

A massive, mountain-sized, irregularly shaped crystal floated in the air, seemingly weightless.

Upon closer inspection, one would find that this crystal was formed from countless clusters of hexagonal crystal pillars, shimmering with rainbow-colored light under the blazing sun.

Countless white rainbows moved in and out of the crystal. These were the Soul Race, and among them were many whose auras rivaled those of Human Race experts at the Dharma Realm.

These white rainbows, each several dozen feet long, seemed to possess life and spirit. They emanated an illusory white iridescent glow, and their movements were agile and silent.

"This is the Soul Race." Fang Cheng pointed at the Soul Race Nest ahead and said calmly, "This race can ignore most Divine Techniques defenses, burrow directly into a Cultivator's sea of consciousness, and devour their soul. I have already passed the Sutra of the Buddha's Hidden Talisman to you. If you can refine these members of the Soul Race, you won't have to worry about breaking through to the Tribulation Realm."

Mo Liushang gazed ahead, her eyes flickering. She walked the path of ascension through Spiritual Mechanisms, cultivating only her soul and not her Physical Body Magical Power. As such, it was easier for her to break through to the Tribulation Realm than other Cultivators.

To her, this vast number of Soul Race members was a treasure trove of nourishment.

"Thank you, my Lord."

Mo Liushang bowed deeply to Fang Cheng. Then, her nine incarnations transformed into nine piercing streams of light and shot toward the Soul Nest.

The next moment, a brilliant light flashed across the sky.

Fang Cheng watched leisurely as Mo Liushang battled the Soul Race, showing no intention of intervening.

In Qianyu Heaven, many prominent families had their own exclusive World Heavens. They possessed endless wealth, using the power of one or even several worlds to support their entire clan.

This was how their family fortunes could last for ages, producing an endless stream of experts. Some even had several Tribulation Realm Great Powers throughout their history.

Fang Cheng had similar plans.

The Sand Soul Realm was of incalculable value to the Fang Family.

The Barbarian Race of this world possessed tyrannical physical bodies and abundant vital energy, but their souls were unfortunately weak, making the Soul Race their natural enemy.

The Merit Talismanic Coins, which are refined from the Soul Race, were enough to support the entire Fang Family, allowing them to endlessly advance their physical cultivation far beyond their actual cultivation realms.

Take Fang Jingyuan and Fang Jingxuan for example. Both of them currently had an Early Stage Dharma Phase Cultivation, but their physical strength was comparable to that of Late Dharma Stage Body Refining Cultivators.

In the future, they even had the potential to break through again, forging powerful physical bodies comparable to a Tier Five Demon Beast.

Additionally, this world was rich in mineral resources. After being brought back to the Red Profound Realm by the Fang Family, they could be exchanged for immense wealth to support the family's fortunes.

The only thing lacking was a Ten Thousand Worlds Compass.

Therefore, Fang Cheng's primary objective in coming here this time was to establish a base in the Sand Soul Realm, set up a Fifth-rank Array, and manage this world.

His second objective was to have Mo Liushang use the Soul Race of this world to break through to the Tribulation Realm as quickly as possible.

This way, even without the Ten Thousand Worlds Compass, with Mo Liushang present, Fang Jingyuan and the others could pilot the Tier Five Feather Divine Soldiers and rely on the Qianhuan Immortal Mansion, a Tier Five Treasure, to safely traverse the Outer Void and travel between the two worlds.

「 ... 」

High in the sky, nine incomparably sharp beams of sword light crisscrossed, tearing the Soul Nest apart in just a few moments.

Countless white rainbows flew out from the Soul Nest, charging toward Mo Liushang's nine incarnations.

Suddenly, an intense, cold light flared between heaven and earth.

Countless icicles materialized in the void, forming a majestic iceberg that erupted from below, its oppressive might instantly blanketing an area a hundred *li* wide.

Rays of icy light reflected and ricocheted off the icicles, like an infinite torrent of sword light, sweeping through the Soul Race horde.

Spiritual Mechanism, Thousand Machines Reflecting Snow!

The Soul Race naturally emitted a scorching heat, but under Mo Liushang's Divine Technique, they were all frozen solid, left completely at her mercy.

After a long while, the iceberg in the void vanished, and Mo Liushang gracefully returned to Fang Cheng's side.

Fang Cheng said nonchalantly, "Let's go. To the next Soul Nest."

「 ... 」

「For several months straight.」

Fang Cheng led Mo Liushang across the skies of the Sand Soul Realm, sweeping through thirty-three Soul Nests.

After refining three Tier Five Soul Race members and a vast number of the low-level Soul Clan, Mo Liushang finally broke through her bottleneck and stepped into the Tribulation Realm.

Fang Cheng bestowed the Spiritual Mechanism "Black Buddha," which he had acquired earlier, upon her, allowing her to truly become a Tribulation Realm Cultivator.

According to Mo Liushang's estimates, in less than ten years, she could use the mineral resources of the Sand Soul Realm to upgrade all of her original Nine Spirit Mechanism Incarnations to the Tier Five level.

By then, the Fang Family would gain nine Tribulation Realm Honored Guest Elders.

After arranging everything, Fang Cheng had Mo Liushang remain in this world, taking only one of her incarnations with him as he returned to the Red Profound Realm with Jingyuan, Jingxuan, and Ye Yan.

For the return journey, he directly summoned the Qianhuan Immortal Mansion to traverse the Outer Void. Whenever they encountered Celestial Demons or other cosmic dangers along the way, he had the Jingyuan brothers handle them by piloting the Tier Five Feather Divine Soldiers.

Only after making the trip once did he feel at ease.

The Fang Family would surely be traveling this void "shipping lane" frequently in the future. For now, this stretch of the Outer Void was relatively safe.

As Jingyuan's and Jingxuan's cultivation increased, and with Mo Liushang acting as a guardian, he basically wouldn't need to worry about it anymore.

Upon returning to the Primordial Qi Celestial Island, Fang Cheng cultivated alone for several days before setting off once more, heading for the Heaven Crossing Hall in the Mingxiao Domain.
