Multi-Life Treasure Spirit, The Battle of Magic Begins

"Are you thinking of me, or of the techniques and spells I possess?"

Zhou Xue teased, sizing up Fang Wang with a satisfied look in her eyes. ✊👊 ➅➈ŜĤǗˣ.ς𝓞𝓂 ♟🐳

Fang Wang walked to her side, opened the door as he said, "Let's go inside and talk."

"Um."

The two entered the cave, and the mountain gate immediately closed.

They walked to the table and sat down. Fang Wang poured tea for Zhou Xue and asked, "Has the Fang residence reached Fang territory yet?"

Zhou Xue nodded and said, "More than a hundred members of the Fang family have moved into the territory. It is being jointly led by my fifth uncle and my father. My grandfather is stationed in Nanqiu City. He said that the Fang family cannot move out completely, because he is afraid that there will be trouble in Nanqiu City."

Upon hearing this, Fang Wang frowned slightly.

"Don't worry, as long as Bai Yi Jinghong's true identity is not exposed, the Fang family will not suffer retaliation from Qingchan Valley and the Li family. As for Lu Yuanjun, he helped the Emperor of Daqi enter Taiyuan Sect. Now that Daqi's plan to transform into a cultivation dynasty has begun, he certainly won't dare to collect souls anymore. Moreover, from his perspective, he definitely won't retaliate against the Fang family to avoid being exposed. As for Emperor Zhao Zhen of Daqi, he's really ruthless."

Zhou Xue's face showed a mocking expression as she said this.

Fang Wang asked, "What makes you say that?"

"He assassinated the prime minister who did this and framed him for the crime of exterminating his entire family. He claimed that the attack on the Fang residence was related to the prime minister, and that not only the Fang residence, but also other cities that were massacred were all blamed on the prime minister. Then, he executed the prime minister's entire family in a short period of time," Zhou Xue replied.

Fang Wang frowned and asked, "Are there other cities?"

"Yes, besides the Duke's mansion I visited before, they went to two other Duke's mansions and slaughtered the cities where the two mansions were located. Lu Yuanjun has collected at least a million souls."

Upon hearing Zhou Xue's words, Fang Wang couldn't help but recall his previous conversation with Zhao Zhen. The emperor's demeanor and temperament seemed gentle and sunny, making it hard to imagine that he had secretly committed so many vicious acts.

Fang Wang squinted and said, "Lu Yuanjun's goal is to collect souls, and he wants Zhao Zhen to help arrange it. Zhao Zhen then takes the opportunity to have Lu Yuanjun's people eliminate the Duke's Mansion, which poses a threat to him?"

Zhou Xue nodded and said, "That's right. And by doing this, the matter will appear to be just a tragic struggle between imperial power and ministerial power, without involving the cultivation world."

"But the prime minister is dead. If we want to take revenge in the future, won't we have no evidence? Did any of the cultivators who helped Lu Yuanjun survive?" Fang Wang asked, frowning.

Zhou Xue said with a half-smile, "If you really want revenge, do you need evidence? Evidence is only for convincing yourself. Leave the revenge to me. You can focus on your cultivation. I'm telling you the truth just so you won't be deceived by Lu Yuanjun and Zhao Zhen's appearances."

Fang Wang was about to speak when Zhou Xue interrupted him: "Let's talk about the Nine Meridians Battle. You must compete, because the nine disciples who ultimately win can enter the Great Sage Cave Heaven. The Great Sage Cave Heaven is a secret realm passed down from ancient times. If nothing unexpected happens, Taiyuan Sect will benefit the most, which will also lay the foundation for Taiyuan Sect's rise."

The Great Sage's Grotto?

Fang Wang became interested; even Zhou Xue had urged him to compete for it, so there must be many benefits involved.

"I will also be entering the Great Sage Cave Heaven this time. Once you are able to enter, I will give you a detailed introduction. The Great Sage Cave Heaven will be a turning point for the cultivation world of the Great Qi Dynasty. At the same time, we will also encounter cultivation sects from other dynasties. Perhaps we will even meet an unparalleled genius with a Heavenly Origin Treasure Spirit."

Zhou Xue smiled, and her words made Fang Wang even more interested in the Great Sage Cave.

Fang Wang asked curiously, "What have you been doing these past two years? Just taking care of the Fang family?"

Zhou Xue shook her head and said, "Of course not, I also need to work hard to become stronger."

"What level are you at now?"

"I won't tell you, but I know you've reached the ninth level of the Spirit Shaping Realm."

Zhou Xue cupped her cheek with her right hand, stared at Fang Wang, and smiled.

Fang Wang's expression froze. He hadn't expected Zhou Xue to be able to see through his cultivation level. It seemed that there was a way to break the Blinkless Natural Technique.

"to be honest,

"You were able to defeat Li Honggang, which really surprised me. It seems you were holding back a bit too. It's alright, keep it to yourself. This way, I can feel more at ease." Zhou Xue continued with a smile, already comparing Fang Wang to the legendary geniuses from her past life memories.

Fang Wang coughed lightly and asked, "I happen to have a question. Can a cultivator only have one natal spirit treasure?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xue narrowed her eyes and asked, "Could it be that there's something unusual about your Treasure Spirit Space?"

Fang Wang didn't hide anything and told her what he had felt. After he finished speaking, Zhou Xue wasn't shocked. Instead, she said in a tone of admiration, "So that's how it is. No wonder you have such strong talent. That's right, there are indeed cultivators in the world who have more than one kind of natal spirit. The genius I've seen with the most spirits possessed nine natal spirits. He ascended with me, and after ascending, he became unstoppable, becoming someone I have to look up to."

Fang Wang raised an eyebrow and asked, "Really? What kind of realm would make even a Celestial Venerable look up to you?"

"The so-called Immortal Venerable is just a title of respect in the Upper Realm. I am not the strongest being in the Upper Realm, otherwise I would not have returned to the present," Zhou Xue replied. She seemed unwilling to talk more about the Upper Realm and continued to talk about her natal spirit.

"The cultivation realms are divided into Qi Nourishment, Spirit Shaping, Spirit Pill, Profound Heart, and Spirit Condensation. Generally speaking, possessing a Di Yuan Treasure Spirit gives one hope of breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm. Nowadays, there are only a handful of Spirit Condensation Realm cultivators in the Great Qi cultivation world, which shows the importance of the Treasure Spirit grade. Those with multiple Life Treasure Spirits have one or two more Life Treasure Spirits, so they have more possibilities than other cultivators."

"Take you for example. Your second natal spirit may not be of a lower grade than your first natal spirit, but it may also be inferior. It all depends on fate."

"I estimate that you will be able to create your second natal spirit treasure when you break through to the Spirit Core Realm."

Fang Wang was deeply moved. Although he had never used the Heavenly Palace Halberd before, he had used it to perform the Nine Dragons Divine Transformation Technique in the Heavenly Palace, and its power was terrifying, which was enough to prove that the Heavenly Palace Halberd was far stronger than the superior-grade magic weapon, the Azure Lord Sword.

If only I could have one more natal spirit...

The two continued chatting, with Fang Wang asking questions and Zhou Xue answering. Gradually, Fang Wang learned more and more about the world of cultivation.

One hour later.

Zhou Xue got up to leave, and Fang Wang immediately saw her off.

"Don't make any more requests. Once you reach the Spirit Pill Realm, I will teach you another technique. I promise you won't be disappointed," Zhou Xue said as she walked ahead.

Fang Wang curled his lip, thinking to himself, "Am I the kind of person who only wants to take?"

"Okay, that day won't be too far away!"

"Um."

……

A month passed quickly. During this month, Fang Wang, unusually, did not cultivate but instead planted spiritual herbs and flowers in his cave.

As the day of the Nine Meridians Battle arrived, his disciple token emitted spiritual energy fluctuations. He immediately picked up the token, and Yang Yuanzi's voice came from within:

"Fang Wang, come to Qingxin Hall immediately."

Fang Wang got up, tidied himself up briefly, and then walked out of the cave.

Fang Wang raised an eyebrow as soon as he came out and saw Gu Li.

Gu Li noticed his expression and said irritably, "What? You think I'm not qualified to represent the Third Clan?"

"No, it's just that you're a beginner..."

"You don't actually think that the Nine Meridians Battle is just a fight between Spirit Core Realm cultivators, do you?"

"Isn't that right?"

"How is that possible? Those at the Spirit Core Realm are already qualified to be promoted to low-level elders or deacons. Although there are indeed Spirit Core Realm disciples participating in the Nine Meridians Battle, they only account for less than 40%."

Gu Li snorted, and these words gave Fang Wang a clearer understanding of the Taiyuan Sect.

Above the Spirit Pill Realm is the Profound Heart Realm. According to Zhou Xue, all the peak masters of each lineage are at the Profound Heart Realm. As for the Condensing Spirit Realm, only the sect leader Guang Qiuxian may have reached it.

Fang Wang laughed and said, "Let's go, we have to bring glory to the Third Clan."

"snort!"

Gu Li rolled her eyes at him, and then the two of them flew together on their swords to the Qingxin Palace at the top of the mountain.

In front of the Qingxin Hall, Yang Yuanzi and his eldest disciple Li Yu were already waiting. After Fang Wang and the other two landed, there were still four people who had not arrived.

Not long after, the remaining four people arrived one after another.

Fang Wang discovered that besides him and Gu Li, there were three other Spirit Shaping Realm cultivators, all at the eighth level of the Spirit Shaping Realm. No wonder the Third Clan ranked second to last in the previous competition.

Yang Yuanzi glanced at the nine disciples below, expressionless, and said, "Since there are new disciples participating, I will explain the rules again. The upcoming Nine Peaks Battle will be a one-on-one duel. The peak master will choose the opponent, and can only choose a peak with a higher ranking than their own. The disciples from one peak will take turns fighting. We have seven choices, and the first peak ranked first can only wait for other peaks to challenge. During the battle, if all disciples of a higher-ranked peak are defeated, the ranking will be replaced by the winner. The losing peak can consider whether to continue challenging, but the nine participating disciples cannot change their choices."

Ultimately, the nine disciples with the most individual victories will represent the Taiyuan Sect as they journey to the blessed lands to seek their fortune!
