Spring dream fruit trees were a very special type of plant.

They could be any kind of fruit tree, but only extremely few fruit trees could become spring dream fruit trees.

One of these spring dream fruit trees was next to a farmer's home.

The head of the family was an old man, known as old man Chen.

"Son, in half a year, you will be married. I will build a house for you, the main girder of the house will be built using this fire date tree." Old man Chen stood in front of the tree, and patted its thick bark, as he spoke to his son who was at the side.

The son looked at this date tree and gave a thumbs up, pleased: "Father, this is a good idea. This date tree is older than the history of our village. I remember that it has already stopped producing dates, it will be useless even if it keeps on growing. Cutting it down to construct the main girder for my house will be putting it to good use!"

Fang Yuan coldly snorted.

He was standing not far away, but was invisible.

Old man Chen and his son, who were not even Gu Masters, were unable to sense him.

Finding out by chance the reason for the spring dream fruit tree being cut down, Fang Yuan inwardly frowned.

This spring dream fruit tree's existence was supported by this date tree.

A true spring dream fruit tree was a tree that existed in dreams and did not have a material body. But it required a real tree to be the foundation for it to live long.

This date tree was several thousand years old, only old trees like this could be used by the spring dream fruit tree.

Naturally, the specific requirements involved not just age.

Humans needed to be living near the tree, the dreams of these humans from generation after generation would nourish the spring dream fruit tree.

In history, this place was once the base of a volcano.

Because the volcano erupted every several hundred years, the large amounts of volcanic ash created fertile soil in the surroundings.

Attracted by the excellent natural farmland, there would be people migrating now and then. They would gradually form villages, which would later be destroyed by the volcanic eruptions.

Fire date trees were extremely resistant to heat, they could even resist lava, thus they were able to continue existing.

If the date tree was cut down, the spring dream fruit tree would be destroyed. But to move the date tree, there needed to be corresponding dream path methods to move the spring dream fruit tree at the same time, otherwise Fang Yuan would only obtain an ordinary date tree and not the spring dream fruit tree.

Fang Yuan did not have methods to move the spring dream fruit tree. Currently, it was not possible for him to even pick the spring dream fruits. He would need to refine some dream path mortal Gu that were targeted at picking the fruits.

In the past, Mo Yao seemed to have recognized the extraordinariness of this tree, but due to her limited knowledge, or perhaps she also sensed that casually picking the tree would not work, she chose to leave it behind.

"It seem I still need to preserve the living environment of this spring dream fruit tree for some time."

Fang Yuan flicked a finger, two wills separately drilled into the minds of old man Chen and his son.

The son suddenly let out tears: "Father, let's not cut down this tree. Even if it can't produce dates anymore, I want to keep on seeing it. It has accompanied me as I have grown, when I was young, I urinated on the tree, when I got slightly older, I built a swing on it. Let's forget about cutting it down..."

"Sigh! Alright." Old man Chen's eyes had also reddened, nodding emotionally: "Then let it continue to grow here. We will choose another tree, although there is not any that is as tall as this one, they will be enough for the main girder of the new house."

After dealing with the mortals' thoughts, Fang Yuan arranged a Gu formation here to protect the spring dream fruit tree.

In the meantime, he would have to refine some corresponding dream path mortal Gu to pick up the fruits.

This required time.

Almost all the refinement materials for dream path mortal Gu were derived from dream realm.s

"According to how my previous life went, after refining change form Immortal Gu, I helped Tai Bai Yun Sheng pass his tribulation, then participated in the battle to defend Lang Ya blessed land. After the battle, I took up the identity of Xing Xiang Zi to enter Eastern Sea and participate in the invasion of Yu Lu blessed land. In this process, because of the collapse of Starry Sky grotto-heaven, I was invited by Immortal Crane Sect to invade a fragment world of the grotto-heaven. After this matter, Blazing Heaven Demoness appeared, defeating the immemorial desolate beast one finger flow shark. I was forcefully recruited by Blazing Heaven Demoness, then returned to Northern Plains and obtained the Earth Trench inheritance. After that, I took part in killing Hei Cheng, then was forced to set a new agreement with Blazing Heaven Demoness and the others, then we went on to seize Luo Po valley. Finally, I took part in the battle of Yi Tian Mountain!"

"This time, after my rebirth luckily succeeded, my main objective is still the Immortal Gu House Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage. As long as I can become the owner of this Immortal Gu House, I can smoothly suppress the rank eight Great Strength True Martial immortal zombie, in that case, my gains will be huge!"

Although Fang Yuan's plan of taking the Immortal Gu House early had failed, how could one failure shake his resolution?

Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage had not appeared now, then he could only wait for the moment it appeared.

Originally, Fang Yuan's plan had been to take the Immortal Gu House, then suppress the rank eight Great Strength True Martial immortal zombie. He would wait until the alliance agreement expired, then he would use the Immortal Gu House to deal with Hei Lou Lan, Fairy Li Shan and Blazing Heaven Demoness, maybe he could even borrow the rank eight Immortal Gu House, Refinement Cauldron, from Lang Ya blessed land, and seize their Immortal Gu, obtaining the greatest benefits.

However, he could not do that now.

Without the Immortal Gu House, Fang Yuan's strength was clearly weaker than Hei Lou Lan's side. Even if he had many plans and plots, without strength, they could not come to fruition. After all, Hei Lou Lan was also a formidable character, she was not someone who could be trifled with easily. This was clear from when she killed her own father, then disguised herself to enter Hei tribe.

Fang Yuan's original plan was wonderful, but reality was cruel.

Fang Yuan made calculations on the basis of the worst possible situation, if Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage appeared at the same time as in his previous life, then he would be unable to covertly take this Immortal Gu House.

The likelihood of this was huge.

"When Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage appeared, it produced a grand sight, the battle scene of that day in history kept on being displayed. If that is the case, then I can only follow my previous life, and participate in the gambling contest between the Southern Border Gu Immortals, and personally entering the demonic path side on Yi Tian Mountain."

If he went in like this, the risks would be extremely huge, he would have to face the Gu Immortals of Southern Border, Shadow Sect, and also Heavenly Court. It would be entering great danger.

But how can there be gains without any danger?

Fang Yuan was cautious, but he did not lack the mindset to take risks.

The huge benefits had already made him resolved to take the risk.

He had been reborn, and had plenty of experiences and knowledge of his previous life, if he did not dare to conspire, then Fang Yuan considered this to simply be cowardly!

"Since the protection of the spring dream fruit tree has been ensured, I can put it aside for the moment. I should change my plans, I need to ally with Hei Lou Lan again!"

Fang Yuan had self strength Immortal Gu, Blazing Heaven Demoness would definitely target him.

If Fang Yuan obtained the Immortal Gu House early, then he would not be afraid of Blazing Heaven Demoness.

But the situation happened to be different now, Fang Yuan needed to obtain the Immortal Gu House, and in the process, he might have to face the Southern Border Gu Immortals, Shadow Sect and Heavenly Court. Now, he needed the strength of others.

Tai Bai Yun Sheng, Hei Lou Lan, Fairy Li Shan, Blazing Heaven Demoness and others, especially Blazing Heaven Demoness, with her rank eight cultivation, she could add much power to the Immortal Gu House.

In his previous life, Fang Yuan had suffered from going in alone without help. When Shadow Sect mobilized, Hei Lou Lan and Fairy Li Shan were both in Xiao Hun blessed land, using Luo Po valley to cultivate their soul. And Tai Bai Yun Sheng was still in Eastern Sea.

Naturally, it was also because Fang Yuan had intentionally concealed it from Hei Lou Lan, Fairy Li Shan and the others, sneaking into Yi Tian Mountain alone.

Even if Fang Yuan revived, he would only have rank six bottom tier cultivation. To advance to rank seven, he needed to go through many earthly calamities and three heavenly tribulations. In the blessed land's time, it would take three hundred years.

There was clearly not enough time for Fang Yuan to do this.

Of course, he could also devour Hu Immortal blessed land and Star Form blessed land, but his body had a strength path immortal aperture which did not relate to these blessed lands.

Right now, the utmost priority was to turn enemies into allies and strategize from there.

Fang Yuan wanted to eliminate Hei Lou Lan and the others, but this kind of impatience could spoil his grand scheme. There were many times when one needed to compromise.

To accomplish one's aims in the world, it was necessary for any person to compromise, and to learn how to compromise. No matter how high someone's position was, they would need to follow this.

Giving up small benefits for greater benefits, this was a display of a person's growth.

Using Fixed Immortal Travel again, Fang Yuan returned to Hu Immortal blessed land.

In his previous life, when Fang Yuan wanted to target Hei Lou Lan, she had already left Hu Immortal blessed land for the outside world, her tracks were concealed, and as such Fang Yuan was not able to make a move against her.

But in this life, at this time, Hei Lou Lan still was staying in Hu Immortal blessed land.

She was using her strength qi Immortal Gu to help the hairy men in the stone nests to refine airsac Gu.

When Fang Yuan found Hei Lou Lan, she was within a stone nest.

She was holding an information path mortal Gu in her hand, frowning at the information brought by the Gu worm.

Seeing Fang Yuan, Hei Lou Lan raised the information path mortal Gu and asked: "Did you hear about the matter of the ten great ancient sects of Central Continent ambushing Song Zi Xing?"

Fang Yuan smiled lightly: "Of course I did. This matter can be kept secret from mortals, but it cannot be hidden from Gu Immortals. Even though Central Continent's ten great ancient sects are hiding their traces, the other Gu Immortals in Central Continent would not want to keep this a secret, right now, they are looking forward to seeing some drama in the ten great ancient sects."

"Oh!" Hei Lou Lan sighed deeply: "Such a prime opportunity, but we missed it. If we could kill Song Zi Xing during this period, we might be able to obtain Star Form blessed land."

Fang Yuan glanced at Hei Lou Lan, sighing internally: This person really is formidable!

She already had attitude Gu, but had restrained herself, not only was he not informed, she did not even inform her closest friend and relative, her aunt Fairy Li Shan.

To deceive the enemy, one had to start from deceiving those they were closest to.

But Fang Yuan was like her.

He had obtained possession of Star Form blessed land, but had deliberately concealed the information, keeping Hei Lou Lan in the dark. In his previous life, were it not for Blazing Heaven Demoness, this secret would not have been revealed.

It was because Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan were similar kinds of people, that Fang Yuan appreciated Hei Lou Lan while also being apprehensive at the same time. If possible, he truly wanted to get rid of her and get rid of her quickly.

But destiny worked in mysterious ways, Fang Yuan had to deepen his collaboration with Hei Lou Lan to obtain the Immortal Gu House Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage.

Therefore, at the next moment, Fang Yuan took out self strength Immortal Gu, placing it in his hand and holding it out for Hei Lou Lan.

-x-X-x-

"Self strength Immortal Gu!" Fang Yuan's action shook Hei Lou Lan's mind.

This Immortal Gu was originally hers, but because she failed her tribulation, she had been trapped in a dream realm and was later saved by Fang Yuan.

The result was that this Immortal Gu became the price for saving Hei Lou Lan, ending up in Fang Yuan's hands.

This self strength Immortal Gu had huge significance to Hei Lou Lan.

Not only was it very suitable for Hei Lou Lan as she possessed the Great Strength True Martial Physique and cultivated strength path, this self strength Immortal Gu had been refined by Hei Lou Lan's mother, Su Xian Er, and was a memento she left to Hei Lou Lan.

Thus, self strength Immortal Gu had extremely great importance to Hei Lou Lan!

Hei Lou Lan had been extremely unwilling to give it, but she had no other choice.

She thought about this Immortal Gu day and night, and really wished she could seize it back from Fang Yuan.

However, she had restrained this impulse.

On one hand, it was because Gu worms were very difficult to take away and could be destroyed with a thought from their owner. On another hand, it was because Hei Lou Lan was astute.

She deeply understood there was an art called compromise when interacting with people.

Hei Lou Lan and Fang Yuan were natural allies. Hei Lou Lan still needed to rely on the guts Gu business to support her cultivation, working together created benefits, while being enemies formed losses, so Hei Lou Lan had continued to endure.

Besides the first meeting after waking up, Hei Lou Lan had not raised any objection towards Fang Yuan having self strength Immortal Gu.

It was as if she had already forgotten this.

She had deep shrewdness.

But now, Fang Yuan was suddenly handing over the self strength Immortal Gu, like he was returning it to its rightful owner; Hei Lou Lan was caught unprepared and was unable to conceal her desire.

But at once, Hei Lou Lan calmed down, her frown deepened as she fixed her sharp gaze on Fang Yuan.

She had already snapped back to awareness, and she was filled with vigilance.

She knew Fang Yuan's nature, and just like Fang Yuan, who had both appreciation and apprehension towards her, she also felt the same about Fang Yuan.

"Why would Fang Yuan hand over self strength Immortal Gu for no reason? This is impossible! Then what is he planning?"

As if seeing Hei Lou Lan's doubts, Fang Yuan chuckled: "Don't be nervous. Self strength Immortal Gu is rather suitable for me as well, but I believe this Immortal Gu is more important to you. Like they say, a gentleman doesn't take advantage of others, isn't that the case?"

Hei Lou Lan's eyes flashed with dark light, she glanced at the self strength Immortal Gu in Fang Yuan's hand, before fixing her gaze on Fang Yuan, sneering: "You are a gentleman? Just say what you want to say."

Fang Yuan rubbed his nose: "If I speak directly, I am afraid it will scare you."

Hei Lou Lan snorted: "Just tell me!"

Fang Yuan's eyes flickered, speaking in a serious tone: "Then I won't beat around the bush. I want to use this self strength Immortal Gu to trade for your attitude Gu."

"What?!" Hei Lou Lan's body shook, the ferocious glint in her eyes increased, and she almost took a step back involuntarily.

"I have kept the matter of acquiring attitude Gu extremely secret, how did he know? I hid it from even little aunt. Besides heaven and earth, only I know!!"

The shock Hei Lou Lan felt was hard to express.

This was her greatest secret, but it was suddenly exposed by Fang Yuan, she could not help being shocked.

Killing intent surged inside her, subconsciously wanting to attack Fang Yuan.

To eliminate the person who knows her secret!

This was the nature of ferocious characters.

However, at this time, Fang Yuan took the initiative to retreat a step.

This movement was simple, but had subtle effects on Hei Lou Lan's current mentality.

Hei Lou Lan was like a frightened beast, but Fang Yuan moved away some distance and showed a harmless smile, emitting good intention, making Hei Lou Lan feel safer.

Hei Lou Lan's eyes squinted into a slit, fixing her gaze at Fang Yuan. Her expression was cold as ice, her killing intent had not dispelled yet, instead it was restrained for now.

"It seems you truly possess the legendary attitude Gu." Fang Yuan pretended to be observing her expression, and spoke with a surprised tone.

Hei Lou Lan stared blankly before speaking in fury: "You tricked me?!"

"Of course not." Fang Yuan smiled bitterly, shrugging his shoulders: "Do you still remember my master, Purple Mountain True Monarch?"

Hei Lou Lan took a deep breath, hearing the name of Purple Mountain True Monarch again, she was filled with wariness.

She knew this Purple Mountain True Monarch.

Fang Yuan was his disciple and so was Tai Bai Yun Sheng. That was the reason why Fang Yuan called Tai Bai Yun Sheng senior brother.

Of course, all this was false information. In his previous life, even Blazing Heaven Demoness had been deceived.

"It was your master who informed you?" Hei Lou Lan asked.

Her killing intent went down to rock bottom, from her view, Fang Yuan had huge backing. It was very difficult to kill Fang Yuan, let alone Purple Mountain True Monarch, who was not someone she could handle.

After all, at this time, Fairy Li Shan had yet to fully reconcile with Blazing Heaven Demoness.

Fang Yuan chuckled: "What do you think?"

Hei Lou Lan snorted, thoughts churning in her mind: "Purple Mountain True Monarch actually knows my secret, he indeed has vast powers and is unfathomable! Fortunately, we have set an agreement with Fang Yuan... but Fang Yuan is really scheming, no matter how important self strength Immortal Gu is, it is only a rank six Immortal Gu, how could it be traded for my attitude Gu? Hmph!"

Hei Lou Lan immediately refused Fang Yuan's suggestion: "My attitude Gu is a rank eight Immortal Gu. As long as it is someone with a thinking mind, they can wear it and use it! It is a legendary Gu worm recorded in the <>. You are actually thinking of using the rank six self strength Immortal Gu to trade for my attitude Gu. Hehe, aren't you daydreaming!!"

Fang Yuan pondered it before speaking: "Then how will you trade for it?"

"Not trading!" Hei Lou Lan immediately replied firmly.

Fang Yuan's expression sank, letting out a dangerous aura: "Hei Lou Lan, think properly... I will remind you this is my territory, my Hu Immortal blessed land."

Hei Lou Lan laughed loudly: "Hahaha, so what? Don't forget the agreement between us, it has not ended yet, allies cannot attack each other."

"Of course!" Hei Lou Lan added, "You have your master's backing, maybe you have already undone your restrictions. But do you think I, Hei Lou Lan, am afraid of death?"

"You underestimate me too much! Even if I die here, I will destroy all my Gu worms before I die. Also, I know all about the resources that are in your Hu Immortal blessed land. After the battle, how many of these resources will remain? Tai Bai Yun Sheng's Landscape as Before cannot restore these resources."

Fang Yuan could not help but laugh.

In his previous life, he had threatened Blazing Heaven Demoness by showing a fearless stance towards death. This life, after he was reborn, Hei Lou Lan was using the same method to pressure him, and he similarly had to accept and go along with it.

Fang Yuan's expression changed, laughing and clapping: "Hei Lou Lan, I wouldn't dare to underestimate you, it was only a joke."

"Using a rank six Immortal Gu in exchange for a rank eight, your joke only reveals your greed and stupidity!" Hei Lou Lan coldly berated, without giving any face to Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan's eyes flickered with sharp light: "Then I will add some more on the table, how about I give up in contesting for Star Form blessed land?"

Hei Lou Lan shook her head: "Giving up in contesting for it? Even if you hand over both Hu Immortal blessed land and Star Form blessed land to me, I won't trade it. Attitude Gu is not only a rank eight Immortal Gu, the requirements to use it are very minimal, it doesn't need immortal essence and only consumes mental energy. That means, even I, a rank six Gu Immortal, can use this rank eight Immortal Gu. This kind of Immortal Gu is a peerless treasure, I absolute won't give it up! Don't mention trading for it! Fang Yuan, you are a smart person, you won't make useless efforts, right?"

Fang Yuan nodded, sighing.

"I understand. Then I shall take a step back, I want to use self strength Immortal Gu to exchange for your slavery Immortal Gu."

Hei Lou Lan's eyebrows raised.

She had a slavery Immortal Gu, she had obtained it during the final moments in Imperial Court blessed land, after deceiving Giant Sun's will.

Hei Lou Lan sank into silence, Fang Yuan's offer enticed her.

As far as she was concerned, self strength Immortal Gu's value was undoubtedly far above slavery Immortal Gu.

Hei Lou Lan gazed at Fang Yuan's eyes: "My slavery Immortal Gu is only rank six. You are using rank six in exchange for rank six, this is feasible. But slavery Immortal Gu cannot be used repeatedly, it can only be used once. Trading Self Strength for Slavery, don't you think you are losing out?"

"Yes, there is some loss." Fang Yuan laughed, before raising a finger: "So I still have a condition, I want to borrow attitude Gu for some time."

Hei Lou Lan did not reply, sinking into silence.

Fang Yuan was trying all kinds of methods to borrow attitude Gu, this made her acutely sense the importance of attitude Gu to Fang Yuan.

However, how much importance it had, Hei Lou Lan was not too sure, she needed to probe.

Therefore, she refused: "I will not lend attitude Gu."

Fang Yuan's expression sank: "Then forget it."

He then turned around, leaving.

Hei Lou Lan stood at her spot, watching coldly without moving.

Fang Yuan moved several steps before stopping, turning around with a bitter smile as he faced Hei Lou Lan again: "I only want to borrow attitude Gu for three years."

"Three years? I wouldn't agree even if it was three days!" Hei Lou Lan's expression was cold and ruthless, internally, however, she was excited. She saw an opportunity to rip off Fang Yuan.

Hei Lou Lan's concealment was good, but she was in the end still young, and Fang Yuan was an old monster who had lived hundreds of years.

Fang Yuan gave a displeased snort, how could he not know Hei Lou Lan's current thoughts.

He threw out his trump card: "It seems you don't want revenge. You have such a good opportunity in front of you to kill Hei Cheng. But it feels like you don't want it."

"What? Hei Cheng!" Hei Lou Lan's eyes flashed with a ferocious glint, her expression fluctuating.

Although Hei Cheng was her own father, the hatred between them was so great, she would not rest until he was dead.

Killing Hei Cheng and taking revenge was already the greatest obsession of Hei Lou Lan.

This obsession was so deep that it had affected her cultivation, becoming a permanent scar in her mind.

In Fang Yuan's previous life, Hei Lou Lan had killed Hei Cheng, got back the self strength Immortal Gu, dispelled the scar in her mind, and found her 'self', so when she activated strength path phantoms, they turned into her appearance, and not the brawny burly man.

-x-X-x-

The negotiation with Hei Lou Lan lasted for six hours.

After it ended, even Fang Yuan with his immortal zombie body felt extremely exhausted, his pitiful immortal zombie mind could not think on its own easily, who knew how many thoughts he wasted in the process.

Hei Lou Lan also wasn't better off, she felt this negotiation was much more exhausting than an intense battle of life and death, a feeling of weakness emitted from deep within her, her tongue went dry and she was feeling dizzy.

After the negotiation, Fang Yuan brought over Tai Bai Yun Sheng, and formed a new agreement with Hei Lou Lan and Fairy Li Shan.

Fang Yuan handed over self strength Immortal Gu, trading for Hei Lou Lan's slavery Immortal Gu, as well as borrowing attitude Gu for one year.

Fang Yuan also had to provide an opportunity to kill Hei Cheng for Hei Lou Lan and Fairy Li Shan.

As for Star Form blessed land, everyone would continue to participate fairly.

Besides these, Fang Yuan also obtained Hei Lou Lan's consent to connect their luck.

The new agreement was tightly linked together in all aspects, even Fairy Li Shan with her information path quasi-great grandmaster attainment would need to spend several years to break the agreement. More importantly, it also took account of Blazing Heaven Demoness.

There was a condition inside that stated more allies could be added, but the new allies must follow the agreement.

Moreover, both sides could not get the help of external forces to target each other. Both sides would also have a one time opportunity to request for support, and once used, the other side must be assisted! The compensation after the matter would be calculated according to the specific situation.

The agreement was extremely stringent, the division of profits was stipulated in detail. Fang Yuan used Hei Lou Lan's apprehension towards Purple Mountain True Monarch, and his previous life's memories, to reach his goal.

One who could only fight was no more than a boor.

Battles could not resolve all issues.

Man is the spirit of all livings beings, humans possessed great wisdom. If they used this wisdom only to fight, they would be letting down this gift from heaven.

After the agreement was made, Fang Yuan's situation had changed greatly.

First of all, Hei Lou Lan was Fairy Black Moon, with vigorous luck that would not decline for a long time. Fang Yuan connected his luck with hers, offsetting Spring Autumn Cicada's flaw.

Second, he was able to borrow the rank eight attitude Gu. This Immortal Gu was used in the past by Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable, it was the core Gu of the legendary immortal killer move — Familiar Face.

Back then, Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable had only been rank six Gu Immortal, but by using this killer move, he deceived two rank eight Gu Immortals in a row, obtaining large amounts of treasures as well as causing the two rank eight Gu Immortals to misunderstand each other, indirectly causing their deaths.

Fang Yuan had lost change form Immortal Gu, but obtained attitude Gu, which was countless times better!

His improved vaguely familiar face killer move's effect would be sharply increased to an astonishing level. Fang Yuan was now confident of deceiving even rank eight Gu Immortals!

Lastly was Blazing Heaven Demoness.

In his previous life, Blazing Heaven Demoness, this rank eight Gu Immortal, had schemed against Fang Yuan. This life, Fang Yuan had reached a new agreement with Fairy Li Shan and others, which could be taken as stopping Blazing Heaven Demoness' scheme early.

Blazing Heaven Demoness' guilt and affection towards Hei Lou Lan was her biggest weakness. Fang Yuan was planning to "inadvertently" make use of Blazing Heaven Demoness.

Even if Blazing Heaven Demoness did not join the new alliance, when Hei Lou Lan falls into a predicament while assisting Fang Yuan, could Blazing Heaven Demoness do nothing?

It could be said that Hei Lou Lan was the best tool to control Blazing Heaven Demoness.

"Hei Lou Lan's side is no longer an obstacle to me. After turning enemies into allies, my plans should now go much more smoothly. But Hei Lou Lan and the others are extremely shrewd, they are not easy to fool. They are now very satisfied with this new alliance agreement, but they will slowly realize the enormous advantage I am holding. At that time, they will definitely be displeased and may even try to go against me."

Because of his previous life's memories, Fang Yuan was able to gain the advantage. But he had not removed his vigilance against Hei Lou Lan's side.

"Wait until I possess Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage, then the course will be set, the contrast between the strength of our sides will be overturned. Even if Hei Lou Lan's side is unsatisfied, they won't be able to create any problems."

Fang Yuan did not hesitate on giving up self strength Immortal Gu, it was because he was planning for the Immortal Gu House, Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage, and the Great Strength True Martial immortal zombie.

With self strength Immortal Gu, he would only have the first style of myriad self, at best, his strength would only be rank seven.

But with the Immortal Gu House, Fang Yuan did not need to fear even rank eights, easily advancing or retreating.

After obtaining attitude Gu, Fang Yuan stored it in his own immortal aperture and moved to Lang Ya blessed land.

Lang Ya land spirit was extremely surprised, asking: "So quickly? You got what I wanted?"

"No." Fang Yuan shook his head.

Lang Ya land spirit's expression immediately turned gloomy, shouting coldly: "Fang Yuan, you brat, are you disregarding my words? Before you left last time, I told you Lang Ya blessed land is not a place for you to come whenever you want! If you don't have the immortal material I want, then don't come bothering me. I won't agree to any of your requests."

"Is that so?" Fang Yuan chuckled, his attitude calm, "What if I want to use my final opportunity to request you to refine Gu for me?"

"Ah." Lang Ya land spirit was staring blankly, lost for words.

Fang Yuan had stolen Ma Hong Yun's fortuitous encounter, arriving at Lang Ya blessed land with the identity of an inheritor of Thieving Heaven.

Because Long Hair Ancestor had made an agreement with Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable, Lang Ya land spirit had to refine Gu three times for Fang Yuan without any costs.

If refining mortal Gu, Lang Ya land spirit must guarantee the success of the Gu refinement. If refining Immortal Gu, Lang Ya land spirit could fail, but the materials for the Gu refinement must come from his own pockets.

Fang Yuan had used two opportunities.

The first was to refine stargate Gu, although this Gu worm was only a mortal Gu, it had provided huge help to Fang Yuan at that time.

The second was to refine second aperture Gu, during the Gu refinement process, Fang Yuan drank four types of fine wines, obtaining divine travel Gu. Finally, he used divine travel Gu to trade for gruel mud Immortal Gu from Lang Ya land spirit.

Thus, Fang Yuan only had one remaining opportunity to request Gu refinement.

Lang Ya land spirit said sternly: "Kid, what Gu do you want to refine?"

Fang Yuan laughed heartily, patting Lang Ya land spirit's shoulder: "I only said 'if', I don't truly want to waste the third opportunity now."

Lang Ya land spirit snorted, brushing away Fang Yuan's hand, and dusting off his clothing with extremely dislike.

But in the end, he did not speak anymore.

As long as Fang Yuan did not use his final opportunity, he could casually enter Lang Ya blessed land.

Lang Ya land spirit knew this was Fang Yuan's warning towards him, even a verbal attack. But he was unable to do anything about it, so he felt very displeased.

"If you don't want to use the final chance, then leave quickly!" Lang Ya land spirit said, displeased.

Fang Yuan unconcernedly shrugged his shoulders: "Although I did not get the immortal material you mentioned, but I brought this. Take a look."

The corners of Lang Ya land spirit's lips curled up: "Brat, you want to deceive me? Hmph, you think immortal materials can easily substitute for each other? I cannot..."

He suddenly stopped speaking.

His eyes flew wide open, his gaze intensified sharply as it fixed upon the immortal material in Fang Yuan's hand.

This immortal material naturally was not a simple one, it was a rank eight immortal material Fang Yuan had picked up inside the Gu formation in Earth Trench!

Lang Ya land spirit's eyes were captivated.

"This... this... this... looks like fragment of the immemorial desolate beast cloud phoenix's body!" Lang Ya land spirit stuttered in an incredulous tone.

Fang Yuan gave a thumbs up: "As expected of Lang Ya land spirit, you are correct. After I obtained this immortal material, I had to spend some effort before I found out its origin."

As he said this, Fang Yuan handed this immortal material to Lang Ya land spirit.

Lang Ya land spirit did not restrain himself, he quickly stretched his hand, grabbing the immortal material and put it in front of his eyes, examining carefully.

"Good stuff, good stuff."

"Sure enough, it is a fragment of a cloud phoenix, this is a rare object!"

"What dogshit luck do you have, to actually get such a treasure!"

Lang Ya land spirit muttered non-stop, he was extremely enticed, and his gaze looked somewhat infatuated.

No matter which Lang Ya land spirit it was, they both originated from Long Hair Ancestor.

Long Hair Ancestor excelled in Gu refinement, and was also infatuated with it. Lang Ya land spirit had also inherited this nature.

Right now, as Lang Ya land spirit looked at this rank eight immortal material, his thoughts started to fluctuate. He had bitterly sought for such immortal materials, but had not found them, if he had this, the gaps in materials for a lot of Immortal Gu recipes could be filled up. The Gu refinement materials for one or two Immortal Gu would even be collected entirely, and the Gu refinement could begin immediately!

Lang Ya land spirit had already stopped paying attention to Fang Yuan, his gaze was tightly fixed at the cloud phoenix's fragment, inspecting it from all directions. He was almost salivating!

Even in Lang Ya blessed land, there were very few rank eight immortal materials.

Why?

It was simple, they were hard to gather!

Like this cloud phoenix's fragment, its main body was an immemorial desolate beast cloud phoenix! This cloud phoenix was extremely powerful, able to match rank eight Gu Immortals.

To gather this immortal material, normally speaking, one had to kill the cloud phoenix. Gu Immortals were few in numbers, rank eight Gu Immortals were even fewer, only a handful of them existed. They had to consider their tribulations and their own safety, and would not easily start a battle. Unless they had some specific demands, there would be extremely few rank eight immortal materials entering the market.

This was also the reason why Fang Yuan had only put two immortal materials in treasure yellow heaven, yet he was easily able to trade for all kinds of food for Immortal Gu.

Even Lang Ya land spirit's main body, Long Hair Ancestor, did not have too much capability to personally gather rank eight immortal materials.

One of the reasons he agreed to refine Gu for Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable and Giant Sun Immortal Venerable was to borrow the strength of the rank nine venerables to gather rank eight immortal materials.

Fang Yuan saw Lang Ya land spirit's expression, and smiled, he then took out another rank eight immortal material, and intentionally asked: "Lang Ya land spirit, help me check the origins of this immortal material."

"Ahhh!!" Lang Ya land spirit raised his head to take a glance, immediately letting out a loud and shocked scream.

His eyes were wild with joy: "Heavens, isn't this the wing of a tiger-striped honey bee? Look, such beautiful lights from dao marks. The metal path dao marks on this wing are so dense that we can see the light from the dao marks with our naked eyes!!"

"Brat, how could you obtain something of this level!? It simply angers me to death, I searched so hard for so many years, but even I have barely over twenty of them. They are so precious that I am not willing to use them!!"

Fang Yuan laughed loudly: "What if I say I picked them up, do you believe me?"

Saying this, he immediately took back the cloud phoenix's fragment from Lang Ya land spirit's hand.

Lang Ya land spirit was caught unprepared, and after he reacted, he gave a miserable howl, feeling like a piece of his heart had been cut out.

He stamped his foot and shouted: "What are you doing?!"

"Doing what?" Fang Yuan had a baffled expression, "This belongs to me, are you thinking of stealing it?"

Lang Ya land spirit stiffened, he was not able to retort and could only glare at Fang Yuan.

-x-X-x-

Lang Ya land spirit looked straight into Fang Yuan's eyes, unsure of what to say.

These immortal materials were Fang Yuan's, he was so anxious that he almost scratched his own head.

Fang Yuan looked at Lang Ya land spirit with a smile, not matter how bad Lang Ya land spirit's attitude towards him was, as long as these immortal materials were with him, he seemed to have taken hold of Lang Ya land spirit's weakness.

Suddenly, Lang Ya land spirit's eyes turned, and he quickly reacted.

He was no longer anxious, instead sneering: "Hmph, brat, do I still not know you? You swindler, you don't do anything without benefits! Speak, what advantage you want to take from me?"

Fang Yuan pretended to be unhappy: "Your words are really wrong. I didn't come to take advantage of you, but to do a fair transaction with you."

"Hehe." Lang Ya land spirit was already somewhat prepared for Fang Yuan's shamelessness, "Speak up, don't talk in a roundabout way."

Fang Yuan drooped his eyelids, staring at the immortal materials in his hands: "Since you are so forthright, then I will speak directly. Can I ask if you have the immortal killer move familiar face?"

Lang Ya land spirit was stunned before asking back: "How did you know I have Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable's signature killer move?"

Fang Yuan was inwardly joyous, Lang Ya land spirit indeed had it!

He had only made a guess about this.

Thinking of the past, Lang Ya land spirit lacked a desolate beast and wanted Fang Yuan to grab a living one, using the mortal killer move unfamiliar face as a reward to tempt Fang Yuan.

Back then, when they had been discussing, Fang Yuan had asked about familiar face and Lang Ya land spirit's original words were:

"Familiar face? You are really daring! That is an immortal killer move, the core Gu is the legendary attitude Gu. Even if I give it to you, you will not be able to use it. But this killer move of mine has a huge relationship with familiar face, it can be said to be the former version of it, this is a mortal killer move and is suitable for you to use."

Land spirits were simple and would not tell lies.

Lang Ya land spirit had not said that he did not have familiar face, he had only said that even if he gave it to Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan would not be able to use it.

But Fang Yuan now already had attitude Gu with him.

Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable had deceived two rank eight Gu Immortals with his rank six cultivation in his time.

Fang Yuan should also be able to do it!

"Looking back over that time, Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable sought out my main body to refine space escape Gu. My main body also had been interested and worked an entire twenty-one years with Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable. This duration was according to the time of the five regions, when calculated with Lang Ya grotto-heaven's time, it would be even longer!"

Lang Ya land spirit recalled those eventful years with a nostalgic expression.

He paused for a moment, before continuing: "In these twenty-one years, my main body and Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable made many attempts, but they all failed. Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable's accumulated savings were spent, and even my main body's treasury was used. My main body naturally would not accept making a loss, Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable had to bring out his resources to buy immortal materials from my main body. Unfamiliar face, vaguely familiar face and familiar face, this set of killer moves was one of them."

"So it was like that." Fang Yuan nodded, engraving this information in his mind.

Lang Ya blessed land indeed had deep foundations, actually having Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable's possessions.

A person's wealth is their own ruin, no wonder Shadow Sect targeted them, and even Heavenly Court also attacked.

Fang Yuan had also been eyeing this land of treasures, but his strength was simply not enough, and rashly attacking would only cause trouble for himself.

"Brat, what do you want familiar face for? Hehehe, did you experience the benefits of unfamiliar face? My things are all of top quality. But unfamiliar face is only a mortal killer move, it indeed is not suitable for your current cultivation." Lang Ya land spirit laughed.

Fang Yuan spoke frankly: "I want to exchange a rank eight immortal material for familiar face."

Lang Ya land spirit had still been laughing, but the next moment his laughter turned into anger: "Brat, you really think I am stupid? You want to use a rank eight immortal material to buy Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable's signature killer move? Keep on dreaming!"

Fang Yuan did not mind it, and asked with a warm attitude: "Then what's your price?"

"Ten rank eight immortal materials!"

This time, it was Fang Yuan's turn to change his expression: "Impossible! How could I have so many in my hands? Do you really think I picked them up?!"

He cried out in seeming seriousness, lying brazenly.

Lang Ya land spirit was in the dark.

He sheepishly smiled: "Then eight?"

Fang Yuan's eyes were wide open as he shouted: "Eight?! You are robbing me! Back then, you told me yourself that familiar face's core Immortal Gu is attitude Gu! Without attitude Gu, familiar face simply cannot be used. I am only trying to use it as reference, to make my own deductions and create an immortal killer move suitable for myself. You think I will use eight whole immortal materials in exchange for merely familiar face?!"

Fang Yuan's saliva flew out as he shouted, landing on Lang Ya land spirit's face.

Lang Ya land spirit looked embarrassed, retreating a few steps.

He had been tricked many times by Fang Yuan, and had learned to bargain. But clearly, his experience was still not enough, and he was stumped by a few words from Fang Yuan.

In the end, Lang Ya land spirit's existence was only an obsession formed by heavenly power. They were extremely simple, Lang Ya land spirit being able to reach this stage was already extraordinary.

Fang Yuan continued to lower the price loudly with ragged breathing. According to him, familiar face had already been degraded in value to being of no worth whatsoever, while the rank eight immortal materials' rarity and value were emphasized and enhanced countless times.

Lang Ya land spirit was unable to hold his own, and kept taking steps back in defeat.

In Fang Yuan's previous life of five hundred years, he had worked as a merchant. He ran a merchant caravan and built stores, earning a huge fortune, but in the end it was destroyed in just one day, breaking his habitual thought processes from Earth, and he comprehended the logic that this world was different from Earth, it was a world where the fist was strongest!

Fang Yuan finally reduced the price to five immortal materials.

This was the limit.

If he tried to reduce it any further, Lang Ya land spirit would not sell familiar face.

Land spirits were simple but stubborn. However, Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable's signature move was indeed worth this much at the minimum!

Lang Ya land spirit would not make a loss, he had calculated internally, at most he could say he had sold it at base price.

Fang Yuan knew he could not change the outcome, immediately paying five immortal materials and getting possession of familiar face.

Success!

The joy Fang Yuan felt was hard to describe.

Although he could use the light of wisdom, it would be extremely difficult to deduce familiar face. His wisdom path attainment was grandmaster level, but his transformation path attainment was merely at master level. And the 'familiar' series were transformation path killer moves.

"Even if I could deduce it, it won't be the same. But now what I have is the original familiar face, which contains its full contents without any flaws!"

Fang Yuan had no mood to keep staying, and left immediately.

He returned to Hu Immortal blessed land, and started to carefully study the immortal killer move.

There was only one core of familiar face, that was the rank eight attitude Gu. This move fully utilized the might of attitude Gu, one could say attitude Gu was the essence of this move, and without it, no matter which other Immortal Gu was added, it would be hard to display the profound capability of familiar face.

Besides attitude Gu, familiar face had over twenty supplementary Gu. Among them were two Immortal Gu, including change form Immortal Gu.

Fang Yuan had failed in refining Change Form, while he did not even have the Immortal Gu recipe of the second Immortal Gu. This was the only blemish in this otherwise perfect matter.

"It seems that in the past, when Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable was at rank six, he possessed these two supplementary Immortal Gu."

Shortly afterwards, Fang Yuan entered the underground cavern and used the light of wisdom, continuously consuming large amounts of star thoughts as he began modifying the immortal killer move familiar face.

Several days later, he succeeded.

The two supplementary Immortal Gu were removed, about a thousand mortal Gu were added in, barely replacing the effect of the two Immortal Gu.

With this, the activation of Fang Yuan's modified familiar face was over ten times slower and more complicated.

The original familiar face only had over twenty Gu worms, even including attitude Gu, it did not reach thirty. The fewer the Gu worms, the simpler and faster the process of activation.

After Fang Yuan's modification, the number of Gu worms was over a thousand, their activation naturally was not as fast and convenient as the original.

This was something he had no other way to deal with.

Fang Yuan tried activating the modified familiar face.

The result of the test made him quite satisfied.

The modified familiar face could show sixty percent of the original's capability. The two supplementary Immortal Gu had been replaced with a thousand mortal Gu, being able to reach this point was already extremely exceptional.

It was just that the activation was very slow and required about an hour.

This was not of much importance, after all, familiar face was not used for battle.

"In my previous life, I refined change form Immortal Gu and used it as the core to form the modified vaguely familiar face. Now, I have this modified familiar face where the effect is over a hundred times better! I can completely deceive rank seven Gu Immortals, while the specific situation needs to be assessed for rank eight Gu Immortals." Fang Yuan inwardly calculated.

The killer move familiar face was exquisite beyond compare, especially the attitude Gu at its core, causing Fang Yuan's transformation to not be a transformation of surface appearance, but directly affecting others' minds.

Even if Fang Yuan transformed into a stranger, if the enemy was affected by this move, they would feel Fang Yuan was a long lost friend, or have a warm impression, or feel intense familiarity.

After gaining familiar face, Fang Yuan spent some time to practice every day.

Although attitude Gu was at rank eight, its requirements for activation were very low, only using up mental energy, not using up any immortal essence.

Thus, Fang Yuan's practice did not cost much.

As he became more accustomed, the time taken to activate familiar face reduced to half of the original one hour.

"The preparations are done. Now, I will have to wait for Tai Bai Yun Sheng's tribulation." Fang Yuan settled down, staying in Hu Immortal blessed land and occasionally traveling back and forth from that small village which had the spring dream fruit tree.

He continuously refined dream path mortal Gu, and used these Gu to pick up large numbers of spring dream fruits.

As time passed, his injuries gradually turned better, and finally it was the day of Tai Bai Yun Sheng's tribulation.

-x-X-x-

In a green heaven fragment world within Western Desert.

The sky was green, the wind that would not stop in all four seasons was blowing gently.

A pure white and vast city was stably floating in the air, letting out faint golden radiance.

At present, humans were the rulers of the world. The variant human races, who once were dominant, were already hiding in corners of the world, surviving with difficulty.

And this green heaven fragment world was the paradise for a group of one of the races of variant humans, the feathermen.

Immortal Gu House Sacred Feather City was the strongest headquarters of these featherman descendants.

Right now, rainbow flags were hanging in Sacred Feather City, cheers and shouts could be heard everywhere.

All the feathermen were calling the same name.

"Yu Fei!"

"Yu Fei!"

"Yu Fei!"

The featherman king had passed away, according to their customs, it was time to select the new featherman king through battles.

And just a while ago, the battle had concluded.

The most popular candidate, the featherman prince Dan Yu, had actually lost. While the ordinary citizen, the black haired youngster Yu Fei, had obtained the final victory.

"I, Yu Fei, have finally realized my life's dream, I have become the featherman king!" Yu Fei was severely injured, but it did not bother him, as he raised his head and laughed heartily.

He stretched his arms as well as his wings, enjoying everyone's cheers.

He grinned from ear to ear, and his mouth was opened wide, revealing his gums.

"This new featherman king is quite unique, he is quite different from the other kings."

"Hehehe, he is an interesting fellow."

"It seems that he has quite the ambition, he wants to expand the territory of us feathermen. But after he becomes the featherman king, he should become more mature."

Behind the scenes, three featherman Gu Immortals were communicating with each other, wearing smiles on their faces.

But right at this moment, a powerful attack suddenly hit this peaceful city!

Boom!!!

The enormous explosion shook the entirety of Sacred Feather City.

"Painful, painful, painful!" Yu Fei was caught off guard, he lost his balance and crashed onto the ground, rolling around in the process.

"Quickly look, this, this is?!" The feathermen at the front saw something amiss, they pointed at the sky and stammered in fear, they could not speak.

Immediately after, most of the feathermen raised their heads, they were shocked to find out that above them, in the green sky, there was a huge crack!

From the crack, several figures descended like demonic gods.

The three featherman Gu Immortals in Sacred Feather City had already reacted, they were startled to awareness as they flew towards the sky.

They appeared to face the invading enemies while shouting to their featherman citizens.

"Be careful, there is a strong enemy attacking!!"

"Quick, sound the alarms, defend our homeland!"

"Gu Masters assemble, go to the formation cores and activate the defenses of Sacred Feather City!"

The entire city was in chaos, fear was spreading.

Sacred Feather City had been peaceful for too long, they had no competition with the outside world, it was like life inside a utopia. This caused their defenses to be very lax, and with the crowning of a new king, the non-militarized feathermen could not respond properly.

The enemy had come in with such momentum, the three featherman Gu Immortals were grim-faced, but they held a hope as they tried to negotiate peacefully.

But the command from the enemy's leader, White Sea Shatuo, destroyed the three featherman Gu Immortals' hopes.

This old Gu Immortal's eyes were extremely apathetic, as he commanded: "Attack!"

The three featherman Gu Immortals were no match for them, and could only retreat to the Immortal Gu House Sacred Feather City and defend.

Sacred Feather City was besieged from all directions by the Western Desert's immortals, battlefield killer moves followed one after the other, as they covered the whole area. Countless mortal killer moves and immortal killer moves impacted the Immortal Gu House, creating grand fireworks.

White Sea Shatuo had clearly come prepared, as his methods immobilized Sacred Feather City.

Sacred Feather City seemed like it had sunk into a mire, it would be difficult for it to get free in a short period of time.

The feathermen had lived in peace for very long time and now they were suddenly thrusted into a life and death battle, they were not able to cope in time. The three immortals were also the same, thus losing the best chance to escape.

Two days later.

Boom!

A bolt of lightning shot out and struck a section of the wall of Sacred Feather City.

The city wall immediately crumbled, and shortly dispersed into countless Gu worm fragments.

None of the featherman Gu Masters defending the city wall were able to escape, their dead bodies covered the ground.

Dust clouds rose, from within, a slight trace of green light suddenly flashed.

"Damn it!" The battle had already lasted for two days and two days, the featherman Gu Immortal Zhou Zhong's eyes were bloodshot.

He saw the destroyed city wall, their defense had a flaw now, thus he immediately flew to guard it.

Immortal Gu Houses were essentially formed from countless Gu worms. This destroyed city wall meant all the Gu worms in it had died, and it was like a hole had been opened in the Immortal Gu House.

This was like a boat with holes, its defense had reduced by a large extent. If the enemies pierced through it and took the chance to enlarge this hole, the whole Immortal Gu House could be destroyed in the end!

Right now, although the hole was small, it absolutely could not be ignored and allowed to be enlarged. Zhou Zhong quickly hurried to block the hole, buying crucial time for the Immortal Gu House's self-recovery.

However, just when Zhou Zhong had arrived, he heard a sinister laugh: "Hehehe, you have fallen into the trap."

Suddenly, two figures appeared at his sides, flanking him in the middle.

The portion of the Sacred Feather City that had collapsed had already formed a gap which allowed the two Gu Immortals to enter.

"Scoundrels!" Zhou Zhong was extremely furious and panicked, as he counterattacked. But he had lost the initiative, and after several rounds, he was severely injured and on the verge of death.

"Bind!" From outside the city, a Western Desert Gu Immortal got close and suddenly activated his immortal killer move.

Instantly, Zhou Zhong could not budge an inch, like he was bound all over.

The two Gu Immortals beside him laughed sinisterly, as they struck Zhou Zhong's chest.

Zhou Zhong spat out huge amounts of blood and was sent flying back like a cannon, crashing through countless constructions on the way before finally laying down motionless on a pile of rubble.

His body shook slightly as he struggled with all his strength.

However, the killer move's effect was still there, making him unable to move.

Those two Gu Immortals came rushing over; Zhou Zhong could not help but feel despair.

"Zhou Zhong, hold on, I am coming!" At the crucial moment, a stalwart figure stood in front of Zhou Zhong.

The strongest expert in the featherman city, first supreme elder!

Even by collaborating, the two Western Desert Gu Immortals were unable to match the first supreme elder's strength.

This supreme elder's cultivation level was almost at the peak of rank seven. Right now, as he attacked in anger, his might burst out, it was overwhelming!

The two Western Desert's Gu Immortals were unable to attack back, and were soon injured heavily, they quickly retreated back to the hole.

The final featherman Gu Immortal, Zheng Ling, was controlling the Immortal Gu House to quickly repair the hole as quickly as possible.

The hole was already eighty percent restored and was getting increasingly smaller.

The two Western Desert Gu Immortals hurried to the hole in the Immortal Gu House, but were unable to escape. They would have to stay and enlarge the hole slightly.

However, at this critical juncture, every second was extremely important. The Western Desert Gu Immortals simply did not have the time to attack the hole.

"Zheng Ling, great work!" The featherman first supreme elder was joyous.

Right now, the Immortal Gu House was continuously being repaired, and the situation had already become such that the enemies were trapped inside, waiting to be attacked.

Once they kill these two Western Desert Gu Immortals, the featherman tribe's morale would surely be uplifted greatly. The enemies would be shaken and no one would dare to rashly charge into the Immortal Gu House anymore.

But right as the featherman first supreme elder was about to kill the two Western Desert Gu Immortals, a shocking change occurred.

The two Western Desert Gu Immortals no longer had panicked expressions, instead replaced by a smile, as if they had a plot which succeeded.

At the same time, four Western Desert Gu Immortals appeared beside the featherman first supreme elder.

"Our true target is you! You will die!!" The leading Gu Immortal was actually White Sea Shatuo!

At this moment, his aura erupted and surged, and overwhelming might burst out, revealing rank eight cultivation level!

The featherman first supreme elder paled in fear, the moment of carelessness had sent him into a dangerous situation.

"Damn it!" The rank seven featherman Gu Immortal Zheng Ling, who was controlling the Immortal Gu House, was extremely anxious, activating the Immortal Gu House quickly.

Both sides were focused in this peripheral area of the Immortal Gu House, this crucial battlefield.

"Old ancestor, are you alright?" Yu Fei shouted as he moved towards the featherman Gu Immortal Zhou Zhong, who was lying on the ground motionlessly.

Zhou Zhong was struck by the immortal killer move and its effect had yet to dissipate, thus he was still unable to move from the rubble.

"The newly crowned featherman king..." Zhou Zhong sighed as he looked at Yu Fei.

He transmitted his voice: "Leave quickly, the battle here is not something you can participate in."

But Yu Fei ignored it, flying towards Zhou Zhong's side and activating mortal Gu: "Old ancestor, I will save you!"

Zhou Zhong appreciated Yu Fei's bravery, feeling moved, but also helplessness.

There were countless injuries on his body, all inflicted by immortal killer moves, the injuries were filled with dao marks, how could they be healed by ordinary mortal Gu?

"Huh?!" But the next moment, Zhou Zhong's eyes protruded out, as he stared at 'Yu Fei'.

"You are not Yu Fei, you..." Zhou Zhong tried to cry out furiously, wanting to resist, but he could not budge.

Before he could even alarm others, Fang Yuan had sealed his voice.

The moment when there was a gap in the Immortal Gu House, Fang Yuan had used Fixed Immortal Travel to travel here from Northern Plains.

The Immortal Gu House's control near the hole had fallen to almost nil, Fang Yuan was thus not detected by anyone.

He then waited for a chance, and taking advantage of when the two sides were in an intense battle, with their attention focused on the key battlefield, he immediately made a move, disguising himself as Yu Fei, and was able to smoothly approach Zhou Zhong.

Right now, he was silently activating slavery Immortal Gu!

Zhou Zhong resisted intensely, his resistance kept on increasing. But after a while, all his resistance suddenly disappeared, as he was turned into Fang Yuan's slave!

In an instant, he turned to Fang Yuan's side.

"I finally succeeded." Fang Yuan was completely exhausted.

Shortly after, he gave a command to Zhou Zhong: "Go replace Zheng Ling to take control of the entirety of Sacred Feather City."

"Yes, master." Zhou Zhong moved his heavily injured body, flying towards the center of Sacred Feather City.

"Elder Zheng Ling, go reinforce first supreme elder. I will control the Immortal Gu House!" Zhou Zhong called out.

Zheng Ling was joyous, the featherman first supreme elder's situation was already extremely bad. Although he was controlling the Immortal Gu House, the entirety of Sacred Feather City was already immobilized by the enemy, as such, it was not able to display its true power.

Instead of using Sacred Feather City's power, it was better for him to go in person to reinforce the first supreme elder.

"Are your injuries okay?" Zheng Ling was about to move, but hesitated.

"Quickly go! At this point, even if I die, I will guard the Immortal Gu House." Zhou Zhong shouted, his whole body bathed in blood.

"Alright, I am leaving. Hang in there!!" Zheng Ling nodded, and turned into a bolt of lightning as he left.

-x-X-x-

Bam bam bam!

Continuous explosions resounded like thunder.

Every explosion shook the whole of Sacred Feather City.

Fang Yuan was standing within ruins, hiding inside the rolling dust and dirt as the entirety of Sacred Feather City shook.

"Enslaving a Gu Immortal is indeed countless times more difficult than enslaving beast groups!" Fang Yuan felt the pressure on his soul.

Enslaving other life forms created a burden on the Gu Master.

Back in Northern Plains, during the contest for the imperial court, Fang Yuan had commanded tens of thousands of beasts, but it was not that he had enslaved all of them, rather, through enslaving myriad beast kings, thousand beast kings and hundred beast kings, he had been indirectly controlling the whole beast army.

Man is the spirit of all livings beings, beasts did not have much intelligence, so Fang Yuan was able to enslave a lot of them.

However, Zhou Zhong was completely different.

Zhou Zhong had deep wisdom and intelligence, although enslaving him did not fail, it created an extremely huge burden on Fang Yuan's soul.

After all, Zhou Zhong was a Gu Immortal!

Rank six slavery Immortal Gu could only enslave a rank six Gu Immortal.

"It is also because Zhou Zhong is a featherman and not a human. His intelligence is inferior just by a bit, if I were to enslave a human Gu Immortal, I might have failed."

"I had cultivated soul path previously and have some foundation in regards to my soul. But this is only at the limits of mortal levels, and my foundation in it as a Gu Immortal is quite shallow. By enslaving Zhou Zhong, my soul has become heavily burdened, if my soul was like an energetic youth before, now I have turned into an old man with a heavy load on my back. With such a sharp reduction in strength, it would be good if I can display twenty percent of my ability."

Fang Yuan sighed inwardly.

All the paths of Gu were broad and profound.

So too was enslavement path.

At Gu Immortal level, there were extraordinary abilities that laymen could not grasp.

Simply put, Fang Yuan was a layman in enslavement path.

He did not know of any enslavement path immortal killer moves, if he had, then in combination with slavery Immortal Gu, his current situation might have been much better.

He was only able to use the slavery Immortal Gu superficially.

But with his previous lives' experiences, along with the help of the light of wisdom to deduce the plans, he was able to achieve a huge success.

"Master, I have received control over Sacred Feather City. Zheng Ling has already moved towards the battle to support the first supreme elder." Zhou Zhong's voice suddenly resounded in Fang Yuan's ears.

Fang Yuan excitedly licked his lips, clenching his fists subconsciously.

He send a command: "First, kill the real Yu Fei."

He now had Yu Fei's appearance, the real Yu Fei was his greatest flaw.

Shortly afterwards, Zhou Zhong's voice arrived again: "Yu Fei is dead, turned into ashes."

At present, Zhou Zhong was the only one controlling Sacred Feather City alone, as such, this was accomplished easily.

"Good, do all you can to control the Immortal Gu House and get away from the battle!" Fang Yuan sent another command.

This time, it took a good while before Zhou Zhong's weak voice arrived: "Forgive me, master, I was not able to do it. The whole Immortal Gu House is already locked in place by the enemies."

Fang Yuan snorted, a ferocious light flashing in his eyes.

"So it is still like this." He did not feel much disappointment.

In his previous life, he had laid a trap which caused all the feathermen to suicide, and he was only able to obtain featherman Gu Immortal Zheng Ling's soul.

Zheng Ling had personally participated in the battle to defend Sacred Feather City, and not much time had passed, thus his memories were extremely clear.

His soul was not like Xue Song Zi's, which had been tampered with by a soul path expert, Fang Yuan could easily search his soul and obtain all his memories.

It was these memories that let Fang Yuan feel like he had personally experienced the battle to defend Sacred Feather City.

Thus, his timing was so precise, he could infiltrate the Immortal Gu House and take the opportunity when the two sides were in an intense battle to successfully enslave Gu Immortal Zhou Zhong.

There were a lot of opportunities like this, but the best one was this.

Zhou Zhong just happened to be restricted by an immortal killer move and was not able to budge, providing huge convenience to Fang Yuan.

From Zheng Ling's soul, Fang Yuan also knew this Immortal Gu House, Sacred Feather City, was locked down by the enemies and was unable to be moved.

However, a person like Fang Yuan would absolutely not be reconciled to this, they would personally attempt it.

The attempt indeed failed and he was unable to steal this Sacred Feather City. Fang Yuan could only choose the second best option, observing from the sidelines and letting the events continue to develop.

Similarly to his previous life, Zhou Zhong carried his heavily injured body and controlled the Immortal Gu House with difficulty, freeing Zheng Ling from the duty.

Zheng Ling hurried to reinforce the first supreme elder and had a huge fight with White Sea Shatuo and the rest.

This huge fight was the most crucial fight of the battle to defend Sacred Feather City.

The outcome of the fight was the same as Fang Yuan's previous life.

White Sea Shatuo and the rest were beaten back, and escaped through the gap in the wall. The first supreme elder was heavily injured and was on the verge of death after being targeted by the combined strength of the Western Desert Gu Immortals. As for Zheng Ling, his situation was slightly better.

The battle ended, the Immortal Gu House was restored and there was no gaps anymore, its defense becoming perfect.

However, the featherman first supreme elder's injuries could not be healed and he died within the city.

After losing their greatest battle strength, the two featherman Gu Immortals held on for a night, and seeing that nothing could be done, they resolutely decided to give up on the Immortal Gu House and leave this place.

All the feathermen gathered together and activated the immortal killer move heavenly wish.

"I wish — my clan's feathermen, survive!"

"I wish — my clan's feathermen, gain freedom!"

"I wish — my clan's feathermen, have a place to live in the world!"

The Western Desert Gu Immortals observed from the sidelines, letting the feathermen leave. Once the feathermen left, they could obtain the entire Immortal Gu House Sacred Feather City.

It was the first time Fang Yuan experienced this heavenly wish.

He felt a majestic and powerful white light engulfing him along with the rest of the feathermen, and transporting them through a white tunnel.

He felt he was like a piece of wood dropped into a rapid whirlpool, as he was sent revolving round and round.

After about five minutes, the surrounding white light suddenly disappeared and Fang Yuan found his footing once again.

He was feeling extremely dizzy and almost fell to the ground.

The surrounding mortal feathermen were already sprawled on the ground.

Only the two featherman Gu Immortals, Zheng Ling and Zhou Zhong, were vigilantly standing.

Fang Yuan inwardly shook his head at this : "It seems that after enslaving Zhou Zhong, my own battle strength is not worth any expectations."

"Where is this place?" The featherman Gu Immortal Zhou Zhong scanned his surroundings.

Zheng Ling's expression changed rapidly: "Not good! This is a human Gu Immortal's blessed land! We were treated as an earthly calamity and transported here."

With Tai Bai Yun Sheng at the lead, Hei Lou Lan and Fairy Li Shan slowly flew towards the feathermen.

In his previous life, Fang Yuan helped Tai Bai Yun Sheng to pass the tribulation and did not invite them.

But this life, Fang Yuan wanted to use this earthly calamity to intimidate them, so he invited them to help.

Tai Bai Yun Sheng was expressionless, feeling both shocked and joyous internally: "Fang Yuan looked for me to tell me he could deduce this calamity and told me what to do. I did not dare to believe him then, but now it seems everything is just like what he said. I can definitely pass this earthly calamity!"

Hei Lou Lan and Fairy Li Shan were both inwardly shocked.

Having a featherman calamity was rare and peculiar.

But Fang Yuan had actually accurately predicted it, what did this mean?!

One of the reasons it was difficult to pass heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities was that they could not be predicted.

Fang Yuan now had this ability, which was simply like a divine weapon to pass tribulations! As long as they made specific preparations before the tribulation, the probability of successfully passing the tribulation would be raised by a terrifying degree!

The featherman Gu Immortal Zheng Ling's heart sank to rock bottom.

In his previous life, when he had seen Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng, he had a feeling of contempt.

But now, the rank seven Fairy Li Shan, Hei Lou Lan with the Great Strength True Martial Physique and Tai Bai Yun Sheng arrived together, especially the unconcealed aura of Immortal Gu on them, they involuntarily brought huge mental pressure on Zheng Ling.

There was nothing much to say after that.

With Tai Bai Yun Sheng displaying the ability of landscape as before Immortal Gu, the featherman Gu Immortals' threat towards Tai Bai Yun Sheng's immortal aperture had become non-existent.

In his previous life, just with Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng, these feathermen had been duped over and over.

This time, not only was there Hei Lou Lan and Fairy Li Shan, Zhou Zhong and Yu Fei were also hidden traitors.

After a duel, Zheng Ling was once again killed, but Tai Bai Yun Sheng and the others did not force the remaining feathermen.

This was a mistake Fang Yuan had made last time.

This time, he would not make it again.

These feathermen were different from those feathermen sold in the markets. They lived in the immemorial green heaven fragment world, living on for generations in isolation from the rest of the world. They had the nature of the ancient feathermen, they would rather suicide than lose their freedom.

Thus, Tai Bai Yun Sheng did not restrict them, instead negotiating with them deceptively.

Under the lead of Zhou Zhong and 'Yu Fei', the feathermen moved to Star Form blessed land.

With these feathermen, Fang Yuan's development in Western Desert could reach a new stage, and his prospects were bright.

This was not his only harvest.

After the event, Hei Lou Lan indirectly asked him regarding the prediction of the calamity.

Fang Yuan intentionally gave a bitter smile, asking back: "You think I have such an ability? Don't forget, Purple Mountain True Monarch is my master, at the same time, Tai Bai Yun Sheng is also his disciple."

Hei Lou Lan thought: "So it was indeed like this, this ability is too powerful, it is not something Fang Yuan can possess, so it was Purple Mountain True Monarch."

Unconsciously, Hei Lou Lan and Fairy Li Shan's apprehension towards Purple Mountain True Monarch deepened further.

Fang Yuan was able to deal a heavy blow to them, this would be greatly beneficial to him in restricting Blazing Heaven Demoness in the future.

It was only that after he enslaved Zhou Zhong, his soul's burden had become very heavy, and there was much difficulty in even refining dream path mortal Gu.

This intensified Fang Yuan's desire towards Luo Po valley.

Luo Po valley and Dang Hun Mountain, if he had both of them, then even if he was a layman in soul path, the foundation of his soul would increase rapidly!

However, right now, it was still not the time to go to Luo Po valley.

In his previous life, Hei Cheng's soul had ended up in Hei Lou Lan's hands, much of the information obtained through soul searching had been shared with Fang Yuan as well.

Fang Yuan knew that currently, Luo Po valley had been remodeled into a secret stronghold by Shadow Sect, with large numbers of Gu formations arranged everywhere.

Even in his previous life, when Feng Jiu Ge and the other Central Continent Gu Immortals had attacked Luo Po valley when no one was around, these Gu formations were able to hold them off until Qin Bai Sheng and the rest arrived.

Right now, Luo Po valley was filled with Shadow Sect's members, it was much more terrifying than a dragon's den.

Fang Yuan needed to wait for the appropriate time.

-x-X-x-

Fang Yuan had a lot of patience.

After helping Tai Bai Yun Sheng pass the tribulation, Fang Yuan refined dream path mortal Gu while collecting the spring dream fruits, along with expanding his guts Gu and eerie fire dragon python trades.

Soon, his monthly profits greatly exceeded his previous life, it was over two thousand!

There were many reasons for this.

Firstly, Fang Yuan had to spend a lot of time in investigating and gathering information before deciding on suitable trade partners in his previous life. Especially in Western Desert.

But now, with his experience, Fang Yuan could easily contact the buyer and save a lot of time and effort, causing his profits to come much earlier than before.

Secondly, the hairy men in the Fang Yuan stone nests were now free to refine guts Gu. This was different from last time, when they were still refining star thought Gu and other Gu worms that did not provide income.

Thirdly, Fang Yuan did not have any plans to relocate Star Form blessed land, he had already made a new alliance agreement with Hei Lou Lan and the others. He might need to relocate it in the future, but it was not an urgent matter now.

Fourthly, with the feathermen forming caravans and dealing with transactions for him, Fang Yuan obtained much benefits in Western Desert quickly.

The use of the feathermen was starting to show.

But Fang Yuan was still experimenting for now, he did not send out all of these tens of thousands of feathermen.

In this aspect, he had a long term plan, he wanted to use these current feathermen to increase the population of feathermen, he might be able to implement slave trade of feathermen in the future.

In terms of slave trade, even though feathermen were inferior to hairy men, they were much better than rockmen. Especially in Western Desert forces, they sacrificed a large number of feathermen yearly, the demand for featherman slaves was always high and unceasing.

Fang Yuan developed patiently, while he accumulated immortal essence stones, he did not forget to accumulate Gu refinement immortal materials.

Time passed quickly, Lang Ya blessed land was attacked by strong foes once again.

Lang Ya land spirit knew that the enemy was powerful, he had to seek help, sending emergency support letters to Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng.

In this life, Fang Yuan had planned meticulously, Tai Bai Yun Sheng's immortal aperture did not suffer much losses, after receiving the letters, the two of them went to Lang Ya blessed land.

In Lang Ya blessed land, there was a thick fog of clouds that shrouded everyone's vision. They could not see anything, not the sky, the ground, or even their own fingers.

"This is the twelve wave cloud confusion formation." Lang Ya land spirit explained in a deep and low tone: "And these are the invaders."

The land spirit waved his sleeves, as several images appeared in front of Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng.

Qin Bai Sheng, Jiang Yu, Hei Cheng, Xue Song Zi, He Lang Zi, and Hui Feng Zi, as well as the Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance immortal zombie, they were all present.

"It's them!" Fang Yuan pretended to be surprised.

"You recognize these people?" Lang Ya land spirit quickly asked.

Fang Yuan nodded with a serious expression: "These people are extremely strong, the leader, Qin Bai Sheng might only have rank seven cultivation level, but he can fight with a rank eight Gu Immortal."

Lang Ya land spirit was shocked: "So powerful?!"

Fang Yuan pointed at the others: "This is Fairy Jiang Yu, she has dark limit Immortal Gu. This is the supreme elder handling public affairs of a super force in Northern Plains, Hei tribe's Hei Cheng, he has an Immortal Gu House in his possession! There is also Xue Song Zi, he might be only rank six, but he is a member of Snowy Mountain blessed land, he is backed by the rank eight Old Ancestor Xue Hu. And this He Lang Zi, he is a transformation path Gu Immortal with high battle strength, in the past, he rejected a recruitment offer by Old Ancestor Xue Hu. This is Hui Feng Zi, a wind path expert, his wind path attainment level is very deep, he is the publicly recognized fastest person in Northern Plains' Gu Immortal world, he had once escaped from many rank eight Gu Immortals."

As Fang Yuan spoke, Lang Ya land spirit's expression turned grimmer and grimmer.

When Fang Yuan finished his words, Lang Ya land spirit's expression was extremely grave, he pointed at the mysterious black robed Gu Immortal: "To think that the enemies are so powerful. Then who in the world is this Gu Immortal?"

Fang Yuan knew who he was, of course, but at this moment, he pretended to show a confused and suspicious expression.

He hesitated before saying: "This person is covering his face and has an immortal killer move protecting him, he is very mysterious. Let me make a deduction."

Saying so, he pinched his fingers and deduced, his body was covered in starlight as Immortal Gu aura surged around him, as if he was working hard.

Seeing this, Lang Ya land spirit was deceived, he thought: "Even though I had approached Fang Yuan many times in the past and asked him to deduce Immortal Gu recipes for me, this is the first time I am seeing him make a deduction. I do not know what Immortal Gu he is using, but looking at this, his wisdom path attainment level is not low!"

The starlight on Fang Yuan's body faded gradually, his expression was grim as his eyes shined brightly: "My goodness, this mysterious Gu Immortal is extremely special, he is an immortal zombie, and one of the ten extreme physiques, Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance Physique!"

"You deduced it so quickly?" Lang Ya land spirit was surprised.

Beside him, Tai Bai Yun Sheng chuckled: "That is only natural. Fang Yuan is a wisdom path grandmaster."

"Wisdom path grandmaster?!" Lang Ya land spirit was shocked, he assessed Fang Yuan again, looking at him in a different light.

Fang Yuan's expression was calm, his voice was heavy as he spoke to Lang Ya land spirit: "The enemy is so powerful, we are in danger now."

Lang Ya land spirit chuckled: "No need to worry, as long as we persevere for a period of time, I can capture any Gu Immortal no matter how strong they are."

"Oh?" Fang Yuan's eyebrows rose, he probed Lang Ya land spirit while pretending to be curious: "It seems you still have additional assistance?"

Lang Ya land spirit smiled with a smug expression, he did not want to say much, but he changed his mind suddenly and probed Fang Yuan instead: "You are a wisdom path grandmaster at such a young age? Honestly speaking, I am quite surprised. Why don't you deduce where my confidence lies in dealing with the enemies?"

Fang Yuan naturally knew that Lang Ya land spirit's confidence was in the rank eight Immortal Gu House Refinement Cauldron.

But afterwards, he pretended to deduce and acted like he was met with difficulty.

Eventually, he admitted his failure: "I cannot deduce it, honestly speaking, in the past, I have tried to deduce Lang Ya blessed land, but I had no gains. Now is no exception."

"Hahaha." Lang Ya land spirit laughed loudly, he patted Fang Yuan's shoulder proudly, but did not say much.

An Immortal Gu House could attack and defend, so could the rank eight Refinement Cauldron.

Defensive methods were not just against attacks, they could also defend against the deductions of others.

Fang Yuan pretended to fail, this was within Lang Ya land spirit's expectations.

From his point of view, this was natural. No matter how outstanding Fang Yuan was, he only had rank six cultivation level, no matter how mystical his Immortal Gu were, they could not match the rank eight Immortal Gu House, Refinement Cauldron.

"It is normal for me to fail in deducing it. If I succeed, it would cause Lang Ya land spirit to become very wary." Fang Yuan smiled coldly internally.

Land spirit were obsessed and pure, but that did not mean they were stupid.

Especially when Lang Ya land spirit's original form was Long Hair Ancestor, this legendary person had a good friend when he was alive, Immortal Yi Yan, a wisdom path Gu Immortal that created the Prophecy of Three Venerables, he was also a famous person throughout history.

Thus, Lang Ya land spirit was clear about the capabilities of a wisdom path Gu Immortal to a great extent.

If Fang Yuan deduced something, it was evidently out of the scope of ability that a rank six Gu Immortal had, this would cause Lang Ya land spirit to become very wary and suspicious.

He would think: "How could Fang Yuan alone deduce anything? Evidently, he has someone behind him! And this great expert is very powerful, he can breech the defense of my Refinement Cauldron and deduce my arrangements in the blessed land!"

Once he thought of that, Lang Ya land spirit would be very vigilant, he would be on guard against Fang Yuan.

After all, Lang Ya land spirit was the obsession of Long Hair Ancestor. And Long Hair Ancestor was a hairy man, towards humans and other variant humans, he had deep wariness. This could be shown from the transformation in personality and manner of speech in Lang Ya land spirit in Fang Yuan's previous life.

The reason why Fang Yuan could get close to Lang Ya land spirit was mainly because he had obtained a certain inheritance of Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable.

Because of his agreement with Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable, Lang Ya land spirit had to help Fang Yuan refine Gu three times.

If not for that, how could Fang Yuan, as a human, get so close to Lang Ya land spirit?

Even though Fang Yuan had to refine star thought Immortal Gu and all-out effort Immortal Gu, all along, he did not want to waste this final opportunity to refine Gu, that was because he wanted to remain close to Lang Ya land spirit.

Lang Ya land spirit had lived countless years in this blessed land. His interactions with the outside world, other than the transactions inside treasure yellow heaven, were limited to only Mo Tan Sang.

He understood that great wealth would attract the greed of others, thus he had been keeping a low profile.

At the same time, he had a natural form of distrust towards other individuals.

Fang Yuan was not strong back then, thus Lang Ya land spirit was not too wary or suspicious of him, but now that he was starting to show extraordinary abilities, Lang Ya land spirit would naturally be alert and uneasy.

How can an outsider be allowed to sleep beside his bed?

In the past, Fang Yuan was a white rabbit, but the Fang Yuan who displayed wisdom path grandmaster attainment was considered a poisonous snake.

Matters developed just like in his previous life.

Fang Yuan was arranged to guard a cloud building by Lang Ya land spirit.

But before that, Fang Yuan suggested that they should allow Hei Lou Lan and Fairy Li Shan to join the battle.

Tai Bai Yun Sheng gave his assurance as well.

But Lang Ya land spirit rejected them.

Fang Yuan used a different method to deal with Xue Song Zi this time, he did not sneak attack Xue Song Zi, instead, he fought him openly.

Even though it was a more impressive fight, the result was less of a victory.

Fang Yuan only fought with Xue Song Zi for a while before Shadow Sect's reinforcements came, and Fang Yuan took the initiative to retreat.

There was no benefit in killing Xue Song Zi. He had Immortal Gu and lifespan Gu, but they could not be taken.

He might as well let him go, so that he could deal with the Central Continent Gu Immortals next.

Fang Yuan had thought of reminding Lang Ya land spirit and making arrangements earlier, so that Refinement Cauldron could take down the group from Shadow Sect in advance, but after considering it thoroughly, Fang Yuan rejected this idea.

First, there was a great risk in dealing with Shadow Sect. Qin Bai Sheng was very powerful, Fang Yuan had no confidence against him. Shadow Sect and Zombie Alliance also had some kind of secret connection, there was more than met the eye.

Second, even if Shadow Sect was dealt with, Fang Yuan's gains would not be ideal. Refinement Cauldron would hold the biggest use, if they won, Lang Ya land spirit would gain most of the loot. Shadow Sect's base, Luo Po valley, would end up in the hands of the Central Continent Gu Immortals, Fang Yuan would get nothing.

Third, Fang Yuan needed the Northern Plains Shadow Sect members to resist the Central Continent Gu Immortals. Even though he did not know how the Central Continent Gu Immortals found Shadow Sect while investigating Fang Yuan, this was something he wanted to see. If Shadow Sect was eliminated, Central Continent would have no obstacles, if they found Fang Yuan, what would he do?

Finally, Fang Yuan could guess that the mastermind behind the battle of Yi Tian Mountain was Shadow Sect because of the Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance zombie, if they were killed, the influence would be huge, during the battle of Yi Tian Mountain, unexpected mishaps would occur. With many mishaps, Fang Yuan's plans would be disrupted, his preparations would be in vain.

Thus, Fang Yuan decided to go with the flow for the battle to defend Lang Ya blessed land.

Altering the result of this battle not only carried big risks, the disadvantages outweighed the advantages, a wise person would not do this!
