Immortal of the Nine Realms

Fairy Yu laughed gently. “Lord, I really thought I was going to die and suffer from his humiliation. I was thinking how great it would be if you were by my side.”

Fang Chen looked down at her in a daze. Despite her smiling face and how she talked as if it was unrelated to her, he could imagine how desperate she must have been at that moment.

Fang Chen softly patted Fairy Yu’s shoulder. “What happened then?”

“Perhaps it wasn’t my time to die yet. After my spiritual energy reversed and I went berserk, I suddenly found that my strength greatly increased. Even a Golden Core Realm cultivator like Gai Wu was no match for me,” Fairy Yu said as she touched her abdomen. “A Golden Core formed here... but I don’t know if it is a Golden Core because it’s black.”

Fairy Yu continued casually, “At that time, I didn’t think much about it. Since I had the ability to fight back, I naturally dismembered Gai Wu. I cut off his limbs, shattered his Golden Core, and even beheaded him. Unfortunately, the elders arrived in time to save him. After understanding what had happened, one of the elders examined the Golden Core in my body, and their expressions became very strange.”

She paused for a moment.

Then, Fairy Yu said, “I went to see the Extreme Sword Peak Master and learned from her that my Golden Core is called the Inverse Immortal Demonic Embryo. Many years ago, a sword cultivator in the Void Immortal Sword Sect experienced a similar phenomenon and formed an Inverse Immortal Demonic Embryo, becoming a great demon of the era, slaughtering countless people.

“This is the reason why they now call me a demoness, saying that I will inevitably become a great demon and bring calamity to the world.”

Fang Chen frowned slightly. “Inverse Immortal Demonic Embryo?”

Fairy Yu looked up at Fang Chen. “Lord, are you also worried that I will also become a great demon?”

Fang Chen softly shook his head. “No, I am thinking about what it actually is.”

He took out Mirror of the Universe and asked it, “Little Mirror, what is the origin of the Inverse Immortal Demonic Embryo?”

“Brother, this might require high-grade spirit stones.... The Inverse Immortal Demonic Embryo is not something that should exist in the mortal realm….”

High-grade spirit stones?!

Fang Chen was stunned. He never expected that the Golden Core within Fairy Yu would have such a terrifying origin, so much so that even the Mirror of the Universe would need high-grade spirit stones to provide an answer.

Fang Chen said in a serious tone, “I’ll owe you for now. I’ll pay you back when I have them.”

“Brother, please don’t make it difficult for me. I exist because of rules. If I break the rules, I will cease to exist...” replied Mirror of the Universe, sounding very troubled.

Fang Chen went silent for a few moments before saying, “Then can you at least tell me why those Golden Core Realm cultivators can find Fairy Yu?”

“Her aura has already been locked onto. With your current cultivation and methods, you cannot remove it for her. I fear that those in this world who have the ability to remove it will not take action. If nothing unexpected happens, her fate is to be hunted until she dies,” Mirror of the Universe replied.

Fang Chen’s expression turned grim. “Is there really no way at all?”

How could there be such an absolute situation in this world!?

“There are some temporary solutions. For example, consuming a saint-grade spiritual herb such as the Vast Origin Fruit which can sever all karma for a hundred years for the one who consumes it.

“Without karma, it will naturally be difficult to lock onto her aura using any means. However, this spiritual herb is rare and expensive.”

“It’s rare? That means it does exist. Where can I find it?” asked Fang Chen.

Even if it only gave them ten years, he would strive for it.

Mirror of the Universe hesitated then said, “This information... will cost you twenty thousand low-grade spirit stones. Are you sure you want it? Even if you know where the Vast Origin Fruit is, you might not be able to afford it.”

Now that Mirror of the Universe was with Fang Chen, it naturally didn’t want him to be burdened with troubles. It only wanted to gather enough spiritual energy peacefully.

Fang Chen took out twenty thousand low-grade spirit stones without hesitation and tossed them to the Mirror of the Universe.

“Lord, what are you doing?” Fairy Yu asked curiously.

“Buying information,” replied Fang Chen, smiling and waiting patiently.

Mirror of the Universe quickly finished absorbing the spirit stones and provided an address.

[Greenwood Sect, Central Continent Empire].

The Greenwood Sect?

Fang Chen was slightly taken aback and instinctively took out the Greenwood Token to examine it. He didn’t expect that the Greenwood Sect would have the Vast Origin Fruit. Recalling what the elder had mentioned before, it seemed that this sect was indeed focused on spiritual herbs.

“Little Yu, do you know about the Greenwood Sect?” Fang Chen suddenly asked.

“The Greenwood Sect? I’ve heard of it. The cultivators of this sect are quite knowledgeable about cultivating spiritual herbs and have some reputation in the Central Continent Empire.” Fairy Yu nodded lightly, her eyes filled with curiosity. “Lord, why are you suddenly mentioning the Greenwood Sect?”

“The Greenwood Sect has a certain spiritual herb. If you consume it, you will no longer be found by those Golden Core Realm cultivators for the next hundred years.” Fang Chen smiled. “We will set off for the Greenwood Sect right now.”

Fairy Yu was silent for a moment and then shook her head gently. “Your Highness, seeing you once more has already satisfied me. I cannot follow you to the Central Continent Empire.”

“Why? Are you afraid of implicating me? It’s just Golden Core Realm cultivators. Do you think I can’t handle them?” Fang Chen chuckled softly. “I have a type of escape technique. If you practice it, you can easily escape even if you’re facing Golden Core cultivators.”

Fairy Yu was unaware of the power of the Shadow Buddha Technique. She was certain that if Fang Chen appeared with her in the Central Continent Empire, she wouldn’t be the only person who would die.

I’m doomed anyway. How can I drag you down with me…. Fairy Yu thought bitterly.

She shook her head again. “Lord, please listen to me this time. Do not travel with me. If it’s just me, they will at most send Golden Core Realm cultivators to kill me. But this promise does not apply to you. You might encounter Nascent Soul Realm or even higher-level cultivators.”

“So what? We’ll deal with them when we meet them,” Fang Chen replied calmly. “This time, you will listen to me. After you take the Vast Origin Fruit, I will listen to you.”

Fairy Yu fell silent, contemplating his words.

She knew Fang Chen’s temperament well. Once he made up his mind, nothing could sway him.

Just then, several streaks of light flew towards them.

“The demoness is here!” someone shouted excitedly.

They were met with a terrifying sword light.

The cultivators on the building boat exchanged glances, secretly shocked. Several more Golden Core Realm cultivators died. Those Golden Core cultivators had clearly come to hunt down Fairy Yu as well….

Fang Chen collected the storage rings the Golden Core Realm cultivators dropped and then took Fairy Yu away.

He didn’t know how great a price the Vast Origin Fruit would cost. The more he prepared now, the greater the chance of obtaining it.

“They’ve left!” someone exclaimed joyfully.

The cultivators on the ship collectively sighed in relief, their faces showing relaxed smiles. The longer those two stayed, the more they had to worry. In just a few days, a second wave of Golden Core Realm cultivators had come to hunt that female cultivator, indicating that she was in enormous trouble. If they continued to stay on the ship, they would eventually be caught in the crossfire.

Elder Xu led the Xu Family and silently bowed in the direction Fang Chen had left.

On the other side, Che Yuxuan’s expression was complicated. It seemed that his Brother Xia’s background was far more terrifying than he had imagined. There might never be another opportunity to see him again.
