Minor Mastery of the Azure Emperor Wood Sovereign Art, Immortal Origin Spirit-Sealing Technique
The Primordial Hall, Divine Sect, Talisman Valley, Sword Sect, and Myriad Puppet Sect also sent messages one after another, either asking outright or probing tactfully.
Without exception, every message asked what was going on with that Life Profound Realm expert from the Yuan Sect.
The Eastern Xuan Region had suffered under the Yuan Sect for a long time. Everyone knew how tyrannically the Yuan Sect behaved, but even they had to follow the rules. They had actually sent a Life Profound Realm expert to kill a junior.
Although the junior had killed the expert instead, not everyone had strength like that. Even the strongest disciples of their generation would suffer if they ran into a Life Profound Realm expert.
The Yuan Sect's behavior had to be reined in!
The Yuan Sect.
Inside the Three Yuan Hall.
Tian Yuanzi, Di Yuanzi, and Ren Yuanzi sat in the three positions of heaven, earth, and man.
Tian Yuanzi closed his eyes halfway and said calmly, "Junior brother, you handled this matter poorly."
"You're right to admonish me, senior brother. I shouldn't have sent someone at the Life Profound Realm to..."
Ren Yuanzi's aged face showed some shame. After all, the seven great super sects had all challenged them at once.
Although they had only asked questions, this had made the Yuan Sect a thorn in the eyes of the seven great super sects.
It could very well affect the Yuan Sect's much larger plan.
But Tian Yuanzi cut him off. "Before making your move, you misjudged his strength. Either don't strike, or strike to kill!"
"Mm. This Fang Yi is no simple matter. He could very well be another Zhou Tong, or even more of a genius than Zhou Tong! Senior brother, should we keep trying to kill him?"
Tian Yuanzi shook his head. "Now is no longer the time. The news spread so quickly, Dao Sect must have been fanning the flames behind the scenes."
"Wait a while. Once the intelligence network in the Chaotic Demon Sea is established, have Hua Chen return. With his strength, he'll be more than capable of killing Fang Yi."
Ren Yuanzi was somewhat unwilling to accept it, but since Tian Yuanzi had spoken, he could only nod. "Then I'll have them gather as much information on this brat as they can in the meantime. We were too careless before."
"Given the temperament of that old turtle Ying Xuanzi, how could he have made this boy the young sect master if he weren't so exceptional?"
"It doesn't matter. As long as our plan succeeds, Dao Sect will amount to nothing," Tian Yuanzi said calmly.
He then turned to Di Yuanzi. "How is it going? Can the Space Ancestral Talisman be extracted?"
"No. Not unless we kill him completely. But given the nature of the Space Ancestral Talisman, once he's killed, it will most likely escape directly into the void and vanish."
"Then keep using the Demon Emperor Lock to brainwash him. Even if we can't control the Space Ancestral Talisman, as long as we control Zhou Tong, he'll be a powerful weapon!"
At this point, Tian Yuanzi could only sigh. The Space Ancestral Talisman was too unusual. The moment it left its host's body, it would flee, and even they had no way to restrain it.
Otherwise, if any one of the three of them could control the Space Ancestral Talisman, even at the Peak Samsara Stage, he could contend with someone at the Reincarnation Stage.
"Investigate Blood Rock Land again. See what Dao Sect is up to. The Hundred Dynasties War is also approaching. I don't want any mishaps. The champion must be from our Yuan Sect."
Di Yuanzi and Ren Yuanzi nodded. "We understand, senior brother!"
As time passed, Fang Yi felt that he had enough Wood Qi in his body.
"Now."
Fang Yi turned his hand over, produced a Yimo Pill, and swallowed it.
He set about refining it, and the Yimo Pill immediately burst forth with a vast torrent of power. Rolling waves swept through Fang Yi's body, intertwining with the Wood Qi.
Terrifying Origin Energy surged within Fang Yi, and a rushing sound like breaking waves filled the air around him.
Fang Yi sat cross-legged, forming the Azure Emperor Talisman in his left palm and the Wood Sovereign Talisman in his right, refining the Immortal Origin Ancient Tree's Wood Qi into his liver.
The liver belonged to wood.
The power of the Azure Emperor Wood Sovereign Art was imprinted upon Fang Yi's liver.
Meanwhile, streams of strange power merged into Fang Yi's Origin Energy, and runes poured into his mind.
"Immortal Origin Spirit-Sealing Technique. Interesting. A Xiantian martial art?"
Fang Yi opened his eyes, which flashed brilliantly. The liver governed the eyes, and now that he had achieved minor mastery of the Azure Emperor Wood Sovereign Art, his eyes were divine.
Anyone with an unsteady mind would probably be terrified out of their wits by a single glare from him.
"A good haul, this Immortal Origin Spirit-Sealing Technique."
Pale green Origin Energy spurted from the pores all over Fang Yi's body.
The Origin Energy intertwined in the air.
An Immortal Origin Ancient Tree several dozen zhang tall appeared behind Fang Yi.
At the same time, an incredibly heavy pressure arose all around him, accompanied by a different kind of power.
It seemed capable of suppressing and sealing all power.
"Combined with the old man's Spirit-Sealing Method, even a Life Profound Realm expert facing me would probably have at least thirty percent, perhaps even fifty percent, of their power suppressed first."
Fang Yi had not expected to gain something like this after absorbing the Immortal Origin Ancient Tree with the Azure Emperor Wood Sovereign Art.
It was a pleasant surprise.
Fang Yi beckoned, and a speck of green light emerged from the trunk of the withered Immortal Origin Ancient Tree.
The green light held astonishing vitality.
But it was flickering now, as though it might go out at any moment. Fang Yi wrapped it in Origin Energy. Now that he had achieved minor mastery of the Azure Emperor Wood Sovereign Art,
he could suppress and nurture all trees, and maintaining the Immortal Origin Ancient Seed's vitality for a short time was still within his abilities.
As for the towering green light that had appeared in the original timeline, it was nowhere to be seen. After all, Fang Yi had absorbed the Immortal Origin Ancient Tree completely.
Just then,
Roar!
Dozens of enormous fiery-red figures, filled with a violent aura, appeared atop the giant trees, their scarlet eyes fixed fiercely on Fang Yi in midair.
Fang Yi glanced at them and casually waved a hand. The giant trees beneath the Fire Crystal Demonic Apes immediately began to tremble.
The Fire Crystal Demonic Apes, which had suddenly appeared because of the change in the Immortal Origin Ancient Tree, saw the giant trees beneath them changing.
They hurriedly leaped down, but the giant trees had already transformed. A human face grew on each trunk, and their roots bound the Fire Crystal Demonic Apes fast.
The Fire Crystal Demonic Apes still tried to struggle, but flashes of white light pierced their foreheads, sending blood and white brain matter flying.
A suction force then appeared, pulling at the corpses until they vanished into a black hole.
"I haven't come looking for trouble with you yet, and you've come looking for trouble with me?"
Fang Yi mobilized his Mental Energy and quickly searched for the Fire Crystal Demonic Apes' location. The next moment, he vanished from where he stood.
Now, the forest was his territory. From any tree, he could read the years it had experienced during its long stay there.
He soon found where the Fire Crystal Demonic Ape King was.
In Fang Yi's eyes, the Fire Crystal Ape King, which was at most as strong as someone at Eight Yuan Nirvana, did not even count as a small fry. Before it could react, sword Qi from the White Emperor Metal Sovereign Slash pierced its head.
Its corpse also became a Fire Ape Pill for Fang Yi.
"If I can't get the Flame Ancestral Symbol for cultivation, catching some fire-attribute demonic beasts wouldn't be bad either. I might just need quite a lot of them."
Fang Yi sensed the power of fire within the Fire Ape Pill, but the Demon Region was too far away. He could look in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range instead.
There should be plenty of fire-attribute demonic beasts there.
Thinking this over, Fang Yi took a step and vanished from where he stood. His business here was done, and there was no need to linger.
Senior sister Yuan Fang would naturally take care of what came next.
