[Spring God Ju Mang (Luminary): Descendant of the White Emperor, minister of the Wood Officer. He attained immortal ascension to become a minister to Fu Xi. Upon entering godhood, he became the Divine Lord presiding over the descent of spring wood. In your Immortal Journey, as a Descendant of the Human Emperor, you are Favored by Immortal Luck, mastering wood-element Immortal Laws and imperial Cultivation Methods with great speed. You are naturally close to all kinds of birds. Facing plots of enemies, you possess Immortal Fate, having a high chance of turning calamity into fortune and danger into safety.]
Xu Xing didn’t rush to use the Dao Fruit to solidify it. He first opened the secondary page of the Nine Luminaries Immortal Fate [Spring God Ju Mang].
Descendant of the White Emperor...
It should be the legendary Western White Emperor Shao Hao; Ju Mang is his descendant. And Fu Xi, legend has it, is the Eastern Green Emperor. Ju Mang was Fu Xi’s minister, in charge of spring. In past lives, official Spring Sacrifices would always worship this deity...
According to legend, Ju Mang had a bird’s body and a human face, and rode two dragons.
Because Shao Hao’s domain was the Phoenix Bird’s Country, Ju Mang is depicted with a bird’s body and a human face...
Xu Xing pondered the effects of this Immortal Fate. This Nine Luminaries Immortal Fate was clearly born from the influence of his three major physiques. However, because the Evergreen Body and the Human King physique were more compatible, the Bright King Body was somewhat neglected when this new Immortal Fate was born.
But Ju Mang was also a descendant of the Western White Emperor Shao Hao.
This might have some connection with the Bright King Body...
「After reading the introduction to [Spring God Ju Mang].」
With a thought, Xu Xing chose to use the Dao Fruit to solidify the Nine Luminaries Immortal Fate [Spring God Ju Mang].
The last time he condensed the Tenth Heaven Immortal Destiny [Descending Dragon Heavenly Child], although he consumed a lot of Innate True Essence, it was still within a manageable range. The reason why condensing the Immortal Green Destiny [Longevity Body] consumed so much energy was due to the shackles of the Human King physique and the Bright King Body. Most of the power consumed was used to break the shackles of these two bloodline physiques. It didn’t necessarily mean that condensing an Immortal Fate consumed more power than condensing a Destiny.
Now, the Innate True Essence has been transformed into Magic Power. In terms of quality and quantity, it was at least ten times greater than what he possessed before building his Immortal Base. Besides, it had taken him three days to condense the Tenth Heaven Immortal Destiny [Descending Dragon Heavenly Child].
Then... it would take even more time to condense the Nine Luminaries Immortal Fate [Spring God Ju Mang].
If his internal Magic Power proved insufficient, he, who was now in the Immortal Foundation Realm, could temporarily borrow some Spiritual Objects from the Sect to complete the Immortal Fate’s condensation.
Of course, borrowing from the Sect was just a last resort. He still had a bottle of Nine Fragrance Jade Pills and two Qilin Horn Fruits gifted by Song Dao. Although he dared not consume these items, he could exchange them with the Sect. It wouldn’t be difficult to acquire enough power to condense the Nine Luminaries Immortal Fate this way.
While condensing the Immortal Fate, he also meditated to absorb Spiritual Energy and stabilize his cultivation.
One day, then two, passed slowly.
It wasn’t until the seventh day that Xu Xing saw the Tenth Heaven Immortal Destiny [Descending Dragon Heavenly Child], which stood in the Dao Fruit column, begin to slowly dissipate. Immediately after, he received another chance to divine the future.
A series of images, like a revolving lantern, appeared before his eyes.
It began with Deng An, under Song Dao’s orders, delivering ninety-five drops of Thousand-Year Stone Dew to him. Then came the annihilation of the separatist powers beyond the pass and the eradication of the Tartars. This was followed by him joining the Flying Feather Immortal Palace, obtaining First-class Morning Glow from Purple Magpie Valley, and returning to the Sect to build his Immortal Base. These were his memories after solidifying the Immortal Green Destiny [Human King] and the Tenth Heaven Immortal Destiny [Descending Dragon Heavenly Child].
Then, the scene changed.
「In the fourth year of Tiande, Xu Xing emerged from seclusion in the Sea Waterlight Court, having built a Flawless Immortal Foundation.」
After emerging, he received invitations from various Inner Sect Peaks and many congratulatory gifts from his peers. But Xu Xing did not become arrogant or complacent. Instead, to reciprocate the kindness Xuanji Temple had shown him in the Mortal World, he joined Lingyin Peak as a disciple.
Soon, in less than a month, because Xu Xing possessed the Tenth Heaven Immortal Destiny [Descending Dragon Heavenly Child] and had exceptional aptitude, he smoothly succeeded in ’Condensing Resplendent Clouds’ while refining the Purple Magpie Morning Glow. In just three months, he manifested nine strands of rosy light. His aptitude once again earned the Sect’s high regard, and he was rewarded with a Seventh Grade Golden Cicada Sword Pill for his trip to Purple Magpie Valley.
「In the fifth year of Tiande, Xu Xing received a Sect mission to go to Folding Mountain Island in the western sea area of Wangchuan Sea as an island-stationed cultivator.」
He was to receive one thousand Spirit Shells annually and a five percent share of the income from the Sect’s Immortal Workshop.
Although the workshop dividend was tempting, Xu Xing knew that cultivation was paramount. So, he only dispatched a few Outer Sect Disciples to manage the Market, while he himself remained in seclusion cultivation.
「In the ninth year of Tiande, Xu Xing’s strength progressed significantly.」
He reached the Three Stages of the Immortal Foundation and was progressing towards the Fourth Level. The Immortal Foundation Middle Stage involves transforming rosy light into profound light, a process known as ’Spread Mist, Birth Profound’. The Late Stage is ’Xuanguang Talisman’. Thanks to the solid foundation laid in the early stage of his Immortal Base, Xu Xing faced no obstacles breaking through to the Immortal Foundation Middle Stage. It took him about four years to successfully step into the Fourth Level of the Immortal Foundation.
「In the same year, the thirteenth of Tiande, Folding Mountain Island was raided by Sea Bandits.」
Xu Xing wielded the Golden Cicada Sword Pill against his foes. Though he sustained minor injuries, he successfully killed three Sea Bandits of the same realm. Even a Sea Bandit captain in the Late Immortal Foundation Stage had an arm severed by him and was forced to flee in panic. As a result, Xu Xing became famous from the battle of Folding Mountain Island, and the Market under his governance grew increasingly prosperous.
「With the resources of Folding Mountain Island aiding him, Xu Xing broke through to the Late Immortal Foundation Stage after twenty-one years.」
「After another fifteen years, he chanced upon a Thousand-year Ganoderma Fruit maturing in the waters beneath Folding Mountain Island.」
After harvesting and refining it, he reached the Nine Stages of the Immortal Foundation in a mere fifteen years, only one step away from achieving Jade Liquid Reversion Pill.
