313 A Woman With Many “Identities”
Although the jade slips left behind by “Master Xia” mentioned “cross-realm punishment,” Fang Jinyu had a different view of it. It was possible that after the cross-realm attack, it was weakened by more than half by the regional wall in the process of arriving, so it didn’t cause any damage to him.
After all, given Fang Jinyu’s actions, if the other party was the one who helped Lin Xianer return to the immortal realm, the other party would feel that killing him wasn’t enough. How could Fang Jinyu possibly be punished lightly?
However, if it was a “cross-realm punishment,” it revealed another piece of information.
The person who attacked had no choice but to cross realms to attack because of a favor or some other reason. Moreover, since he had no ill will towards Fang Jinyu or any killing intent, he simply sent Fang Jinyu to another realm.
Life and death depended on Fang Jinyu’s luck.
Just as these thoughts flashed through Fang Jinyu’s mind, Chen Fayi replied, “Lord Cultivator, when I recalled my memories, I did hear someone mention it more than two hundred years ago. However, at that time, I was only a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, so I wasn’t sure if the woman I heard about was the one you were looking for.”
It was what Chen Fayi remembered after trying hard to recall it.
Although a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator had a photographic memory, he was an alchemist. He usually had to remember or comprehend too many things. In addition, he didn’t think that it was anything important at that time, so Chen Fayi could still remember some memories. It could only be said that he was worthy of his reputation.
Fang Jinyu nodded after hearing Chen Fayi’s words.
Fang Jinyu had already intercepted Chen Fayi’s fate, synchronized with the scene that appeared in his mind at this time, and confirmed that it was Lin Xianer. He also knew that Chen Fayi wasn’t lying.
When Chen Fayi broke through the Foundation Establishment stage, it was the third year after he went to the Buddhist Realm.
Fang Jinyu couldn’t help but guess.
“The two people who shocked the entire Cave Lake Realm while fighting… Could one of them be Lin Xianer?”
It was because Chen Fayi was quite famous. He was a famous person in the world of alchemists, and his strength and status were all extraordinary. Logically speaking, there was no reason for such a character to not have heard of Lin Xianer’s name…
Thinking of this, Fang Jinyu couldn’t help but think of Xia Yi’s message regarding the “cross-realm punishment.”
Someone from the immortal realm found out that his enemy had reincarnated into the Cave Lake Realm, so they cut off their cultivation and fell from the immortal realm, chasing after his enemy.
Fang Jinyu naturally knew about the matter after reading the extraordinary book. Lin Xianer relied on her immortal treasure.
“If Lin Xianer were to activate that incomplete immortal treasure, even if it was someone from the immortal realm, there’s a high chance that they would die.”
The power of an immortal treasure was unimaginable. Even if it was incomplete, its power was still extraordinary. For example, Fang Jinyu’s highest-grade “Cultivation Death Bell”, which already had the charm of the three purities and was transforming into an immortal treasure, was far less powerful than an incomplete immortal treasure.
“Could it be that both Lin Xianer and the immortal realm cultivator have died?”
Thinking of this, Fang Jinyu asked, “Then have you heard of a Core Formation stage female cultivator named Shi Wushuang? She might already be in the Nascent Soul stage.”
Chen Fayi thought about it carefully and then shook his head awkwardly. He said, “Lord Cultivator, I’ve never heard of her.”
Fang Jinyu asked, “A cold-faced alchemist named Han Xiaoqian?” It was one of Shi Wushuang’s “alternate identities.” Her alchemy skills weren’t very good, and she relied solely on illusions to keep up appearances.
“I have not either.” Chen Fayi felt even more awkward.
“How about the ruthless master of the path of slaughter, Xu Yingying?” Fang Jinyu spoke of another “identity” of Shi Wushuang.
Chen Fayi was about to speak, but Fang Jinyu already knew the answer through the synchronization of the memories in his mind, so he said another identity, “The abandoned disciple of the immortal sect, outstanding rogue cultivator, Jiang Xiaoxiao?”
However, this time, the scene in his memory finally changed.
Chen Fayi said with some excitement, “Lord Cultivator, is she famous for her illusory techniques? I’ve heard of her!” It should have been a joyous occasion for the lord cultivator to summon him, but he didn’t know anything about it. It made Chen Fayi quite anxious.
“Although Jiang Xiaoxiao is a rogue cultivator, she is a rare genius in cultivating illusory techniques. It is said that she has formed a first-grade core. Therefore, a Nascent Soul stage grandmaster tried to force Jiang Xiaoxiao to become his disciple, but he was repelled by a shadow on Jiang Xiaoxiao’s body. However, it was a shadow of a late-stage Nascent Soul stage grandmaster with an immortal seed, so the shadow could only escape with Jiang Xiaoxiao.”
“However, that area is the territory of the immortal sect of the Nascent Soul stage grandmaster, so Jiang Xiaoxiao was quickly blocked. However, just as everyone thought that the rare genius among the rogue cultivators was going to die regretfully, Jiang Xiaoxiao disappeared into thin air in front of everyone.”
“The people from that immortal sect searched that place for more than a hundred years, but they couldn’t find Jiang Xiaoxiao’s whereabouts!”
Chen Fayi quickly told Fang Jinyu everything he knew.
At this moment, Fang Jinyu had already obtained the memory images synchronized with Chen Fayi’s mind. His gaze suddenly became a little strange.
Thus, Fang Jinyu flicked his sleeve, and a jade slip and a bottle of elixirs flew out.
Fang Jinyu said, “You’ve also reached the stage of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage. This was my experience when I broke through in the past. This bottle of elixir can increase your chances of transcending the lightning tribulation. It’s better not to use the Lightning Evasion Crystal if you can.”
“Yes, thank you, Lord Cultivator!”
Chen Fayi was slightly stunned when he heard it. Although he didn’t understand why he was told not to use the lightning protection treasure, since it was the Lord Cultivator who said it, there was no reason for him to be fooled for no reason.
As soon as Chen Fayi left, a figure that looked similar to Fang Jinyu walked out.
It was Fang Jinyu’s virtual body.
When the virtual body was in a state of convergence and conversion, Fang Jinyu had already arrived at the place where Jiang Xiaoxiao had mysteriously disappeared. His divine consciousness spread out in all directions.
A few hours later, Fang Jinyu’s illusory body finally found the subtle spot in the void by relying on some vague senses. He immediately waved his hand and attacked.
Suddenly, a faint light appeared.
When the faint light disappeared, Fang Jinyu’s illusory body also disappeared.
At this moment, relying on the divine consciousness in his virtual body, Fang Jinyu realized that his virtual body had come down a strange path. The surroundings were filled with white fog, and the sky seemed to have disappeared. Meanwhile, his divine consciousness couldn’t sense anything.
After standing there for a long time, the feeling of time, the vicissitudes of the world, and the unity of the past were even more overwhelming!
“The Ancient Immortal’s Path…”
How could Fang Jinyu not know where he was?
Immediately, Fang Jinyu’s illusory body followed the weak feeling and moved quickly because he could feel that his other illusory body was right in front of him.
After passing through the thick fog, Fang Jinyu finally found his illusory body. He saw that his illusory body was trapped in an old incense burner, and there was a large greenstone covered in blood on top of it. However, Shi Wushuang was nowhere to be seen.
