Immortal of the Nine Realms-Chapter 844: Grand Completion Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm
Wufeng, the Daoist boy, exclaimed in shock, "The old master has come back to life!?"
The Daoist priests all showed faces of terror.
He came back to life?!
They had practiced Daoism for many years but had never witnessed such a bizarre phenomenon!
What was strange too was that the old man who had supposedly come back to life had shed years off his appearance, looking much younger.
Wang Fu appeared puzzled.
The middle-aged general narrowed his eyes slightly and stepped back slowly. He did not intend to act without understanding the situation first.
The nearby soldiers surrounded them, staring at Fang Chen as if facing a great enemy.
With every step Fang Chen took, endless spiritual energy surged into him, making him look several years younger.
Inside Fang Chen's qi sea, a round golden core enveloped in purple mist slowly dissipated. In its original place, a Nascent Soul that looked exactly like Fang Chen appeared. This Nascent Soul stood on two Zhu Longs, with more winding around its shoulders and waist. There were nine in total.
Each step Fang Chen took was accompanied by the rolling sound of thunder.
The majestic spiritual power, invisible to the onlookers, poured into him like a flood.
Hearing thunder, the people around looked up in surprise. They were shocked to find the sky clear, with no sign of a storm.
"It's broad daylight; why is there thunder?!"
After a moment of confusion, they realized that the thunder seemed to be connected to Fang Chen. With each step he took, thunder resounded, and he became younger.
Such a spectacle usually only existed in myths and legends. They were witnessing such divine phenomena for the first time.
They were utterly shocked.
It was as if Fang Chen had been a drought-stricken land that had been blessed with a downpour; his flesh and blood were becoming increasingly full.
In just a few steps, Fang Chen's cultivation had exceeded the initial stage of the Nascent Soul by more than a hundred times, firmly stabilizing at the early Nascent Soul stage.
Yet, his cultivation continued to grow as the spiritual power from heaven and earth kept flowing into him unceasingly. His Nascent Soul's presence was climbing steadily, rooted in a special divine soul, enhanced by the essence of the Zhu Long.
From the moment this profound heavenly Nascent Soul formed, it had shown its extraordinary nature.
The early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm….
The mid stage of the Nascent Soul Realm….
The late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm….
The grand completion of the Nascent Soul Realm….
Fang Chen completed what could've taken an ordinary person hundreds of years in a matter of a few seconds—or rather, a few steps.
The once blind old man had turned into a noble young man of seventeen or eighteen, with skin fairer than snow. Despite wearing tattered Daoist robes, his inherent brilliance shone through, like jade revealing its dazzling light.
The subordinates of the middle-aged general crowded forward, staring at Fang Chen with a mix of wariness and fear. "General, something is off about this man!"
Wang Fu and the others were agape with shock and disbelief.
Is this still the same blind old master?!
The person before them exuded a celestial grace that made everyone feel unworthy in his presence.
Wufeng muttered to himself, "The old master... truly is no ordinary person..."

On a distant mountaintop, Young Master Zhao was stunned for a few moments before he turned to ask his mentor, Master Qing. He said, "Master Qing, that old man just came back from the dead… and he grew younger. How could… something like this happen?"
"I... I don't know..." Master Qing shook his head stiffly, his eyes filled with horror. "He must be the Wolong Sect's sage…. How could such a master have been sweeping the floor before the front gate…."

"I have reached the grand completion stage of the Nascent Soul Realm…. It's time to attempt a breakthrough," Fang Chen whispered.
Fang Chen felt as if the spiritual energy within him was inexhaustible. The spiritual power from heaven and earth continuously nourished his Nascent Soul and body every moment.
Compared to his previous strength, which had been the peak of the Golden Core Realm, he had become a hundred times more powerful….
The middle-aged general suddenly shouted, "What demon dares to deceive me?"
Fang Chen glanced at the general with his gray eyes, and then gently exhaled.
A terrifying gust of spiritual wind swept forth, hitting the general. The general's flesh dissolved at a visibly rapid rate. In less than a breath, only his skeleton remained. Even his armor and saber turned to dust.
"Hiss…"
Whether it was the soldiers present or Wang Fu and the others, they all instinctively gasped, their faces turning deathly pale as they looked at Fang Chen, filled with nothing but horror.
A soldier stared dumbfoundedly at the skeleton"General…?"
How couldn't believe his eyes. The general, a master of such high caliber, had been reduced to a skeleton with a mere breath.
Weren't….Grandmasters... supposed to be invincible in this world?
Fang Chen smiled. "Aren't you leaving?"
The soldiers didn't say a second word. They turned to leave the temple. They tiptoed away, afraid of even making the slightest sound.
As the soldiers left, Wang Fu and others did not feel relieved but became even more terrified. Wang Fu was especially terrified. Remembering how he had treated this formidable person harshly over the past two years, he almost wished he could tear his mouth apart.
Fang Chen looked at Wang Fu and the other, chuckling lightly. "The old master has obtained a position in the Underworld, thinking you juniors are not quite up to par. He hopes I can take care of you."
Fang Chen threw out a jade slip containing the Purple Qi Manual.
By the time Wang Fu and others broke out of their shock, they found that Fang Chen had already vanished. It even made them doubt if he ever really had been here and had been simply dreaming.
However, the opened coffin on the ground told them that everything that had just happened was real!
Wang Fu instinctively looked at his fellow disciples. "He said the old master has obtained a position in the Underworld?"
Daoist Jingkong slowly nodded. "It seems so...."
"Hiss…"
Everyone gasped, realizing that this person had indeed died and gone to the Underworld, only to return from the Underworld to the living world.
Wang Fu smiled wryly. "Unexpectedly, the old master was such a legendary figure; we were blind before and offended him. Fortunately, our grandmaster has already instructed him to take care of us and that is why he spared us…."
Daoist Jingkong remarked, "Brother, you were the one who often offended the old master..."
Wang Fu's expression stiffened. He picked up the jade slip and didn't comment on Daoist Jingkong's words. Changing the topic, he said, "We are all disciples of the same sect, and we should move forward together. Why bother over such trivial matters? Let's see what technique the old master left us. Maybe after cultivating it, we can have powers like the old master."
The scene of the Yue Empire's general turning into bones was deeply imprinted in their minds, likely never to be forgotten in their lifetimes.
Some looked at the little boy, the former crown prince.
"Brother, how should we deal with him?"
Wang Fu smiled triumphantly. "Can't you see the old master's attitude? No matter who he was before, he is now a disciple of the Wolong Sect. With the old master's care, what can the mere Yue Empire do to us?"
The little boy heaved a deep sigh of relief and couldn't help but look at the jade slip in Wang Fu's hand.
Perhaps, this was the only chance for the Hu Empire to restore its nation!
