Lang Ya blessed land, Long Hair refinement path formation.
Blood light gradually faded, the blood path formation opened up as Fang Yuan and Lang Ya land spirit walked out with the latter behind the former.
Fang Yuan's scheme succeeded!
In the previous life, Lang Ya land spirit had caught Fairy Zi Wei off guard because she killed the black haired land spirit and white haired land spirit showed up.
The black haired land spirit was ambitious, even though he knew about Lang Ya blessed land and Longevity Heaven's agreement, he did not want to use it.
Once the white haired land spirit showed up, he sought help from Longevity Heaven without second thoughts.
Eventually, because of the white haired land spirit's action, Fang Yuan escaped while Heavenly Court retreated in defeat, Longevity Heaven obtained Lang Ya Sect and became the eventual winner, gaining the greatest benefits.
"Right now, I suppressed the land spirit, Longevity Heaven will not gain anything." Fang Yuan looked at Lang Ya land spirit.
Right now, Lang Ya land spirit had gone back to the black haired land spirit under Fang Yuan's orders.
To prevent the hairy man Gu Immortals from becoming suspicious, the black haired land spirit pretended that their relationship with Fang Yuan was still the same as before.
Fang Yuan purposely let out a breath of air: "It was all thanks to first supreme elder this time that we salvaged the situation."
The black haired land spirit smiled: "Ma[1]... mainly because we had the refinement path formation, we should get back into refining the Gu as quickly as possible."
The black haired land spirit had a slightly subservient tone and smile, but other than Sixth Hair, the other hairy man Gu Immortals felt no suspicions.
Who could have thought that this shocking change had occurred right under their very eyes!
Fang Yuan entered the Long Hair refinement path formation and continued to refine myriad self Immortal Gu.
Hours later, a sharp profound light appeared in the refinement path formation.
The profound light faded as an Immortal Gu was revealed.
This Gu worm was more than ten meters long, it was like a centipede that shined in a metallic luster, the mouthpiece on its head looked dangerous while there was a pair of long antennas on its forehead, it had five thousand legs on either side of its body, having a total of ten thousand legs.
Rank seven Immortal Gu Myriad Self!
Even though Fang Yuan's main goal was to scheme against Lang Ya land spirit, he did not give up on refining myriad self Immortal Gu.
In the previous life, myriad self Immortal Gu had a fifty percent success rate! But now, in order to trap Lang Ya land spirit, he modified the recipe and lowered its success rate from fifty to forty percent.
Regardless, he did not give up on refining Myriad Self!
He could not give up on refining myriad self Immortal Gu after all.
It seemed to have an insignificant boost to Fang Yuan's strength but it was actually very important.
The killer move myriad self was the combination of enslavement and strength path, it gathered the specialty of both paths. But it was overly complex and took a long time to activate, it spent a lot of thoughts of the Gu Immortal.
Now that it became a Gu worm, Fang Yuan only needed to take a few steps to unleash the full power of the original myriad self killer move.
Other than myriad self, Fang Yuan's reverse flow protection seal, myriad dragon, myriad ghost sword dragon and other killer moves would also benefit from this.
Especially myriad ghost sword dragon, Fang Yuan had created this move near the time of the Central Continent Refinement Path Convention. Without myriad self Immortal Gu, he would need too many Gu worms to activate it, the time taken would be too long and there would be no use for it in battle!
Even though myriad self Immortal Gu could not raise Fang Yuan's strength directly, it strengthened his foundation and allowed him to gain even more potential in several aspects.
The Immortal Gu refinement ended, next, Fang Yuan looked around the whole of Lang Ya blessed land and collated his gains.
Lang Ya blessed land had an immense origin, it was left by one of the three greatest refinement path experts in history, Long Hair Ancestor.
Long Hair Ancestor was a legendary figure, he had refined countless Immortal Gu in his life, even Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable and Giant Sun Immortal Venerable came to look for him when refining Gu.
Long Hair Ancestor also had a special identity, he was a hairy man. While hairy men had long lifespan, they would still die eventually.
Long Hair Ancestor left behind rank eight Lang Ya grotto-heaven, but after countless years of development, white haired land spirit decided to lower its rank and returned it to a blessed land.
Blessed lands faced far weaker calamities and tribulations than grotto-heavens, with the white haired land spirit's management, the blessed land developed very well.
It had a huge space far beyond most blessed lands, it even exceeded many grotto-heavens.
In terms of time path, its time flow was one to thirty-six compared to the outside world. And worth mentioning was that Lang Ya blessed land had an immortal killer move on its tributary of the River of Time, it could alter the time flow in the immortal aperture. This was the work of Long Hair Ancestor who had invited a time path great expert personally when he was alive.
In terms of dao marks, Lang Ya blessed land had the highest number of refinement path dao marks surpassing three hundred thousand! The remaining dao marks were mostly water path followed by earth path.
Lang Ya blessed land had four continents. They were the Black Hair, Yellow Hair, and White Hair Continents in the sea, as well as Cloud Cover Continent in the sky. The blessed land produced abundant resources and people, there were also countless Gu Immortals, it was truly a super force of its own!
The vast number of people ensured the production of many lifespan Gu.
Undeniably, this was the number one blessed land in the world!
Lang Ya land spirit was suppressed by Fang Yuan already, everything here belonged to him.
Other than the blessed land's resources and manpower, there were also a vast number of Gu recipes, killer moves and Gu worms.
Lang Ya blessed land had many Immortal Gu in its inventory. For example, the currently rank seven Heavenly Essence Treasure Imperial Lotus, the wood sprout Immortal Gu that Fang Yuan had once borrowed to use the killer move light fungus radiance, beast enslavement Immortal Gu, formation plate Immortal Gu, and many others. (Most of the Immortal Gu were already given out to the hairy man Gu Immortals for their use.)
Lang Ya blessed land had three Gu formations. The first was the Long Hair refinement path formation, the second was the sub-main teleportation Gu formation, the third was the ancient battle formation Heavenly Giant Solor. Among which, the main formation of the sub-main teleportation Gu formation was on Cloud Cover Continent, while the nine sub formations were distributed all over Northern Plains, for example, Tai Qiu, dragon elephant plain, and Feng Bo cliff.
Other than that, Lang Ya blessed land had a highly incomplete Immortal Gu House — rank eight Immortal Gu House Refinement Cauldron.
There was also a man-made secluded domain of heaven and earth that was not completed despite immense effort — Refinement Sea. In the previous life, when Heavenly Court attacked Lang Ya blessed land, Lang Ya land spirit made use of the water in the Refinement Sea to display the killer move omnipresent four seas, he had once taken control of the situation using it.
Lang Ya blessed land had a huge inventory with countless immortal materials but relatively few immortal essence stones.
And finally, Lang Ya blessed land had three true inheritances, they were Thieving Heaven's true inheritance, Giant Sun's self luck true inheritance, and Long Hair's refinement path true inheritance.
Rank eight steal life Immortal Gu was part of Thieving Heaven's true inheritance.
In the first life, Ma Hong Yun obtained clues to this Thieving Heaven true inheritance, he came to Lang Ya blessed land and asked Lang Ya land spirit to refine Gu for him three times.
This was also part of Thieving Heaven's true inheritance.
Fang Yuan had a deep understanding of these three true inheritances. Years ago, he had transacted with Lang Ya land spirit and learned about this.
Back then, in order to deal with strong enemies, he had to sell his own secluded domain of heaven and earth. Now, the whole of Lang Ya blessed land belonged to him.
"I have about half a month left." Fang Yuan estimated the time.
In the previous life, he had worked on deducing Luo Po seal at this time period, in order to make up for his lack of offensive methods. As for defense, he had reverse flow protection seal, there was no worry.
In the end, he only managed to deduce Luo Po seal years later.
This time around, he already possessed Luo Po seal, his main deduction was to add the effect of time path into yama battlefield, so that he could gain a compound battlefield killer move.
Even though he suppressed Lang Ya land spirit and had sufficient refinement path attainment level, Fang Yuan was not in a rush to annex Lang Ya blessed land.
He had already decided to use the tactic in the Five Regional Mountain Range, he was going to make Lang Ya blessed land a trap that would lure in the Heavenly Court members.
Firstly, Fang Yuan needed Feng Jiu Ge to come here and 'contribute' his Fixed Immortal Travel. After all, when Fang Yuan reaches rank eight, future self would not be usable anymore.
Secondly, he needed Heavenly Court to expose their star cast killer move. This method was too incredible, it could directly change the situation of all five regions, any super force would feel extremely threatened by it! Once star cast gets exposed, it would spur on the four regions' super forces to attack Heavenly Court!
And thirdly, he wanted to kill a few Heavenly Court Gu Immortals in advance, Fang Yuan would not let go of any chance to weaken Heavenly Court.
And finally, Fang Yuan wanted to borrow the help of Heavenly Court to deal with the Gu Immortals of the snowmen, rockmen, and inkmen in the four races alliance. By using the same method as in the previous life, he would annex all three of these forces at once.
Hehe, taking down enemies and allies in a single swoop, wasn't it a great idea?
More than ten days passed.
Central Continent, Heavenly Court.
Star Constellation Chessboard!
This rank eight Immortal Gu House was shooting out fireworks, countless starlight specks were flying out and radiating the entire Heavenly Court.
Starlight shined on the faces of the Heavenly Court Gu Immortals.
Nearly ten of them were ready to move out!
The leader was Fairy Zi Wei, she looked at the sky as bright light shined in her eyes, even more dazzling than the starry sky.
"To think that wisdom Gu is really inside Lang Ya blessed land! With it, Star Constellation Chessboard will become a rank nine Immortal Gu House! By then, I will be the number one wisdom path Gu Immortal in the world. Heavenly Court will almost certainly be able to repair fate Immortal Gu."
"Fang Yuan, I can't wait for this! I want to kill you personally." Thunder Ghost True Monarch gritted her teeth.
Feng Jiu Ge was silent and peaceful.
Chen Yi was waiting in anticipation.
His performance in green ghost desert was not good, he did not retrieve Divine Bean Palace.
"I cannot fail again like last time."
"I have just joined Heavenly Court, I need to show some results."
"This battle is a great opportunity! No matter how strong Fang Yuan is, he is merely rank seven. Lang Ya blessed land has a huge reputation but it is too weak internally, even Feng Jiu Ge could enter and leave at will. We are mobilizing so many rank eight great experts now, we will definitely win. Sigh, Lady Zi Wei is too vigilant."
Chen Yi grumbled a little.
Fairy Zi Wei was sending such a huge force, it was like a tiger going all out to hunt a rabbit, Chen Yi would not be able to make any achievements.
In his opinion, couldn't two or three rank eight Gu Immortals take down Lang Ya blessed land easily?
They were not ordinary rank eights, they were Heavenly Court members!
Bam.
Along with the expectations of many Gu Immortals, the starlight in the sky gathered, a huge light blue pillar was formed in the sky.
Immortal killer move — Star Cast!
"Let's go! Take down Lang Ya blessed land and capture the demon Fang Yuan." Fairy Zi Wei gave her orders, Thunder Ghost True Monarch was the most impatient one, she directly rushed into the starlight pillar.
"Fang Yuan, I am coming! Just you wait." Thunder Ghost True Monarch snickered.
[1] He wanted to say master.
-x-X-x-
Thunder Ghost True Monarch felt her world spinning, after a brief moment of chaos, her vision cleared up.
In almost an instant, she vanished from Heavenly Court, arriving in a huge formation space.
"Hmm?!" She focused and looked, seeing that Fang Yuan was standing before her with a killer move that had been prepared already.
"Fang Yuan, good timing!!" Thunder Ghost True Monarch growled loudly with blood red eyes, it was like the meeting of enemies.
Fang Yuan smiled plainly: "Thunder Ghost True Monarch, I've been waiting for you."
Saying so, he pushed with his palm as Luo Po seal shot towards Thunder Ghost True Monarch.
Thunder Ghost True Monarch wanted to dodge subconsciously but the super formation's power was already affecting her.
Even though Thunder Ghost True Monarch could dodge quickly, she needed a lot of time to do so, as a result, the overall result was that she moved very slowly in real time.
Shock and anger was expressed all over Thunder Ghost True Monarch's face.
She could not dodge, she was hit by Fang Yuan's Luo Po seal.
A huge black armor appeared all over Thunder Ghost True Monarch's body. The armor was ferocious and flamboyant, having sharp curved spikes and lightning flashing above it. The chest portion of the armor had a dark-blue opened mouth like that of a giant ghost. And her helmet looked like a monster's head, forming a stark contrast with the girl's delicate and cute appearance.
Luo Po seal landed on Thunder Ghost True Monarch's armor.
At the next moment, countless cracks appeared on Thunder Ghost True Monarch's armor.
Next, with a light pop, the entire armor cracked into pieces, exposing Thunder Ghost True Monarch's main body.
Fang Yuan used Luo Po seal and the super formation to destroy Thunder Ghost True Monarch's strongest defense in one move.
Thunder Ghost True Monarch shouted loudly, instead of dodging, she charged towards Fang Yuan.
This was a wise tactic.
Normally speaking, people would retreat in such circumstances to regain their footing. But doing that in front of Fang Yuan would make them lose initiative, it would be a downward spiral as Fang Yuan gains control of the momentum of the battle.
Thunder Ghost True Monarch did not back down, instead, she went ahead to fight against Fang Yuan.
At this moment, Thunder Ghost True Monarch's rich battle experiences and brave nature was on full display!
She invaded Lang Ya blessed land but got ambushed, landing in a difficult spot. The disparity in situation did not make her lose her cool, instead, her bravery and fighting spirit were ignited.
As expected of the person who once resisted Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, this person did not know what giving up was, there was no way to lower her morale.
Her final killer move, lightning heart explosion, was an actual mutual destruction method. Even if she dies, she would drag her enemies with her, this was her true nature.
Of course, Fang Yuan already knew about Thunder Ghost True Monarch's final method.
Fairy Zi Wei was a wisdom path Gu Immortal, but so was Fang Yuan!
As a wisdom path Gu Immortal, he would make countless arrangements, how could he not predict Thunder Ghost True Monarch's nature and course of action?
Like what Fang Yuan had said earlier, he had been waiting.
Immortal killer move — Steal Life!
After suppressing Lang Ya land spirit, Thieving Heaven true inheritance in Lang Ya Sect became Fang Yuan's. Using steal life Immortal Gu, Fang Yuan unleashed the immortal killer move using Immortal Gu Steal Life as the core.
Even though Fang Yuan did not have rank eight immortal essence, he could make Lang Ya land spirit do it, he had Long Hair's immortal essence after all.
Steal life was not displayed by Fang Yuan, Lang Ya land spirit, which was inside the formation, had used it.
Red light that was as thick as a finger flashed as it landed on Thunder Ghost True Monarch's forehead.
Thunder Ghost True Monarch's movements came to a stop.
She rapidly aged, in the blink of an eye, she turned from a cute little girl to a wrinkled old lady.
She stretched out her thin and dry fingers as she grabbed at Fang Yuan, speaking as her teeth fell off: "How, how did you..."
These were her final words.
She died.
With intense regret and hatred.
She had died of old age, her lifespan was fully consumed.
Even after dying, her eyes were wide open, staring at Fang Yuan fixedly.
Fang Yuan smiled lightly.
Within the super immortal formation, the Gu Immortals of the four races were in a commotion!
"What happened? She died like that?!"
"We killed Thunder Ghost True Monarch!"
"Wasn't that too easy?"
The variant human Gu Immortals were all dumbfounded.
After calming down, they started to analyze.
"It was Lord Fang Yuan's great plan."
"That's right, Thunder Ghost True Monarch fell into our trap, she had no way of retaliating."
"Even though she is a rank eight Gu Immortal, against Lord Fang Yuan, she was completely helpless."
"I finally understand why the human Gu Immortals are bent on going after Lord Fang Yuan..."
The variant human Gu Immortals sighed deeply, their gaze towards Fang Yuan carried wariness, fear, admiration, and reverence.
Looking at Thunder Ghost True Monarch's corpse, Fang Yuan felt no surprise.
As a rank eight expert, her death was not as simple as it looked.
The power of wisdom path Gu Immortals was to make plans before taking action. With sufficient information, they could easily counter their enemies.
Because of rebirth, Fang Yuan knew about Thunder Ghost True Monarch's trump card.
Secondly, Fang Yuan had spent a lot of effort in modifying Lang Ya blessed land's defensive formation, he added a lot of Immortal Gu. Steal life Immortal Gu was one of them.
It was all thanks to Fang Yuan's formation path attainment and the light of wisdom. Ordinary Gu Immortals could not achieve this.
Thunder Ghost True Monarch's two strongest methods were lightning heart explosion and soul armor combat.
Thus, once Fang Yuan saw her, he used Luo Po seal straight away. This move dealt with Thunder Ghost True Monarch's soul armor with incredible effect.
Without her soul armor, after Thunder Ghost True Monarch died, she became suppressed by the formation, she could not activate lightning heart explosion.
And he also used the killer move steal life.
This was not the same as using steal life Immortal Gu, which could not distinguish ally and enemy.
This time, Fang Yuan deduced the killer move steal life, to target only the enemy.
Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable had used his method on steal life Immortal Gu, it could only be used thrice, Fang Yuan could not remove that limit.
Even with only three uses, Fang Yuan used it on Thunder Ghost True Monarch without hesitation.
Thunder Ghost True Monarch had great battle strength, the longer she stayed here, the greater the threat to the entirety of Lang Ya blessed land.
If she unleashed lightning heart explosion, his losses would be severe.
Thus, Fang Yuan unleashed his moves instantly, killing her before she could even react!
Heavenly Court.
Looking at the starlight pillar, Chen Yi could not help but say: "I'm going too."
Fairy Zi Wei glanced at him before nodding.
As a wisdom path Gu Immortal who possessed Star Constellation Chessboard, she could more or less understand Chen Yi's intention and thoughts.
After getting permission from Fairy Zi Wei, Chen Yi flew into the starlight pillar anxiously.
"I need to act fast!"
"With Thunder Ghost True Monarch's ferocious battle strength, the later I go in, the less achievements I can make. By now, she might have killed some variant human Gu Immortals already."
"Lang Ya blessed land, here I come!"
Chen Yi entered the starlight pillar with great excitement.
At the next moment, he arrived in Lang Ya blessed land's formation space.
"This is Lang Ya blessed land? Hmm?!" Suddenly, Chen Yi's body froze, his pupil shrunk to pin size.
He saw Thunder Ghost True Monarch's corpse.
Fang Yuan had used the super formation to mimic time path's specialty, slowing the time flow.
But over at Heavenly Court, time was moving normally.
After Thunder Ghost True Monarch entered, Chen Yi went into the starlight pillar almost right after her.
As a result, right after Fang Yuan killed Thunder Ghost True Monarch and captured her remaining remnant soul, Chen Yi appeared.
"You are quite fast." Fang Yuan smiled lightly.
Chen Yi stared at Thunder Ghost True Monarch's corpse, shouting: "Senior?!"
Thunder Ghost True Monarch did not reply.
She was undeniably dead!
"How could this be? This is impossible!" Chen Yi, who had strong battle intent and enthusiasm, felt like cold water was poured all over him.
He had been thinking that Thunder Ghost True Monarch was killing everything in her path, Lang Ya blessed land would be in complete chaos as Fang Yuan defends against her pathetically.
But the truth was, Thunder Ghost True Monarch died, while Fang Yuan smiled towards him with absolutely no injuries!
Who could have expected such a situation!
Chen Yi blinked consecutively before he growled: "Very impressive demon, you made this illusion so convincing that I was almost deceived by you!"
Saying so, Chen Yi flickered with green light, he used his defensive killer move.
He did not attack in a rush, he stood to guard the black spiral behind him.
Thus, at the next moment, Chen Yi sensed something amiss: "Hmm? The power of time path is affecting me!"
His defensive killer move formed very slowly.
Heavenly Court.
Fairy Zi Wei had a calm expression as she said to Feng Jiu Ge: "Go in as well."
Feng Jiu Ge nodded as he entered the starlight pillar.
"With Feng Jiu Ge's strength, he should be able to defend himself. We are mainly relying on his own Dao Guardian luck, Heavenly Court does not have many luck path methods, this is the only way to resist Fang Yuan."
Fairy Zi Wei sighed to herself internally.
After Feng Jiu Ge was transported inside, she was the next person to go.
But right when Fairy Zi Wei was about to move, boom!
The starlight pillar exploded into countless starlight specks in the sky.
Fairy Zi Wei was stunned: "..."
The Heavenly Court immortals behind her: "..."
-x-X-x-
The killer move star cast might be incredibly powerful and would affect the balance of all five regions, but any killer move had its weaknesses and flaws.
Fang Yuan did not know much about star cast, but he knew one crucial point.
Star cast needed a tracer.
This tracer was the harmful dao marks that Feng Jiu Ge left behind the previous time he invaded Lang Ya blessed land.
In the previous life, these harmful dao marks turned into a dark spiral that transported Chen Yi, Thunder Ghost True Monarch, Feng Jiu Ge, and Fairy Zi Wei in.
Luckily, Fang Yuan and Lang Ya land spirit reacted quickly and destroyed the dark spiral in time, they prevented even more Heavenly Court Gu Immortals from entering.
This time, because of rebirth, Fang Yuan knew the exact location of the dark spiral.
Thus, he modified Lang Ya blessed land's defensive formation actively and covered it using the formation space.
Thunder Ghost True Monarch came in first, she was directly killed by Fang Yuan and the rest, who were well prepared.
Chen Yi was the second to arrive, Fang Yuan did not have much time to use Luo Po seal, so he did not do anything yet.
And third was Feng Jiu Ge.
He was Fang Yuan's main target!
Because rank seven Fixed Immortal Travel was in his hands!
And the fourth person was likely Fairy Zi Wei.
Fairy Zi Wei was a wisdom path Gu Immortal possessing Star Constellation Chessboard. If Duke Long was considered the spiritual leader of Heavenly Court and was the source of morale, Fairy Zi Wei was the brains of Heavenly Court, their tactician.
She was very important, but even if Fang Yuan killed her, there would be little effect.
Why?
Because Heavenly Court's immortal graveyard had too many wisdom path Gu Immortals, if Fairy Zi Wei died, the second would replace her. In the past, why did Fairy Zi Wei awaken? It was because Heavenly Court's wisdom path Gu Immortal, Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord, had died, Fairy Zi Wei had to awaken to take his position.
If Fairy Zi Wei brought Star Constellation Chessboard with her, Fang Yuan might have the incentive to kill her.
But regrettably, Star Constellation Chessboard was needed to maintain star cast, it had to be left inside Heavenly Court.
Fang Yuan had his battle experience from the previous life, he was sure about this secret.
In his position, Fang Yuan should not kill Fairy Zi Wei. Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated, Fang Yuan was familiar with Fairy Zi Wei, it was advantageous to him. If he killed her, an unfamiliar Heavenly Court wisdom path Gu Immortal would weaken Fang Yuan's post-rebirth advantage.
Of course, there was the most important reason, Fairy Zi Wei had incredible battle strength, even though Fang Yuan surpassed her by the time of Central Continent Refinement Path Convention, right now, he had not reached rank eight yet, he was still far from his peak battle strength in the previous life.
If he let Fairy Zi Wei in, Heavenly Court would have three rank eight battle strengths, Fang Yuan had Heavenly Giant Solor, the super formation, the immemorial rock dragon and himself, the battle would be intense, the situation would be out of control.
And don't forget, Chen Yi had Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable's trump card!
Immortal killer move karma relocation played an important role in his previous life, Fang Yuan remembered deeply, he would not ignore it.
Furthermore, Fang Yuan already suppressed Lang Ya land spirit, the whole of Lang Ya blessed land was his property. He wanted to reduce his losses.
Thus, he destroyed the dark spiral earlier than in his previous life.
Heavenly Court's Gu Immortals were all shocked, while inside Lang Ya blessed land, Feng Jiu Ge and Chen Yi looked at each other with dumbfounded looks!
"This is completely different from our plans!"
"Star cast failed, only the few of us are over here."
"Lang Ya blessed land was prepared for us, they reacted too quickly."
"Right now, we can only defend and stall for time until star cast activates again!"
Chen Yi and Feng Jiu Ge quickly conversed.
The two of them floated in the formation space, their backs were facing each other as they tried to defend themselves.
Feng Jiu Ge asked: "That's right, where is Senior Thunder Ghost True Monarch?"
Chen Yi gulped, he hesitated a little but did not tell Feng Jiu Ge about the scene he saw earlier, instead he said: "I am not sure too, I did not see Thunder Ghost True Monarch after entering."
Feng Jiu Ge nodded: "Senior Thunder Ghost must be too eager to make achievements, she went out and got separated from us. If we can join up with her, that would be best."
Chen Yi was shrouded in a bad feeling, but he could not shake Feng Jiu Ge's morale at this moment, he could only say: "I can see how crafty this Fang Yuan is, he would not let us join up easily. Senior Thunder Ghost True Monarch might be currently busy against the enemies for all we know."
Feng Jiu Ge was more optimistic than Chen Yi, he smiled: "Lord Chen Yi, we have outstanding battle strength ourselves. I can resist rank eight Gu Immortals, I can barely be considered a rank eight battle strength. With you and Senior Thunder Ghost True Monarch, we have three rank eight battle strengths. It will be very difficult for Lang Ya blessed land to defend against us, right? Maybe with just us, we can take down Lang Ya blessed land."
Chen Yi laughed and focused his mind forcefully: "Brother Feng is right, but this situation is truly out of our expectations, you should find a time to escape using Fixed Immortal Travel."
Feng Jiu Ge looked at Chen Yi deeply, thinking that this Chen Yi's emotions were so easily changed.
Feng Jiu Ge had witnessed himself how Chen Yi charged in excitedly trying to make some achievements for himself. But once he got in, he became so dejected and low-spirited all of a sudden?
"Even though Chen Yi is the former first supreme elder of Heavenly Lotus Sect, due to having an authoritative status for a long time, he has lost his bravery. No wonder he failed his mission in Western Desert and caused us to lose Divine Bean Palace."
Feng Jiu Ge looked down on Chen Yi in his heart. Unknown to him, in the previous life, his relationship with Chen Yi was actually quite good. Especially after he used the incomplete destiny song to save Chen Yi's life.
The two conversed rapidly in almost an instant.
Fang Yuan had already taken action.
But this time, he did not move out personally, he concealed his traces.
The immemorial rock dragon took his place, along with Lang Ya land spirit and a band of hairy man Gu Immortals using Heavenly Giant Solor!
Feng Jiu Ge and Chen Yi worked together.
After a long while, neither side could do anything to the other.
But Chen Yi and Feng Jiu Ge continued to frown deeply.
"The immemorial rock dragon is tough and sturdy, but its threat is the lowest. The Gu Immortals inside Heavenly Giant Solor are not too skilled at fighting either."
"That's right, the key is Fang Yuan. He has not shown up yet, is he fighting against Thunder Ghost True Monarch or hiding to deal with us?"
"Other than them, there is also this formation!"
"We need to destroy this formation, otherwise, being trapped inside this formation space is very dangerous."
Chen Yi and Feng Jiu Ge planned quickly, changing their tactic.
Feng Jiu Ge started to use his killer move while Chen Yi defended him.
Chen Yi blocked the immemorial rock dragon and Heavenly Giant Solor alone while Feng Jiu Ge prepared his killer move successfully, unleashing separation song.
But in the previous life, this song already had no effect, it was even more useless this time around.
How could Fang Yuan forget separation song?
The tactic that Chen Yi and Feng Jiu Ge tried failed and instead gave Fang Yuan an opportunity to suddenly strike and isolate the two of them.
Thereafter, the super formation started to activate as two subspaces were created, isolating Chen Yi and Feng Jiu Ge.
Heavenly Court.
Endless starlight specks gathered again.
Fairy Zi Wei was full of sweat, she worked her hardest to create star cast killer move once again.
However, star cast was not so easily recreated.
This move was incredibly powerful, it was able to transport rank eight Gu Immortals, it was truly a tactical method that could affect wars. Precisely so, the price of using it was huge, not only in immortal essence but also the time needed to prepare it with countless complex steps. Without deep wisdom path attainment, it was unusable.
"If we can succeed and regain wisdom Gu this time, activating star cast would be an easy feat, we will not encounter so much trouble!" Fairy Zi Wei sighed.
A Gu Immortal beside her smiled: "Lady Zi Wei, even if we do not go, with those three, they have the power to take down Lang Ya blessed land."
Heavenly Court's Gu Immortals had calm expressions, the situation was very relaxed.
But Fairy Zi Wei frowned deeply, she felt that something was wrong.
"That's right, Feng Jiu Ge has incredible talent, he can resist rank eight as a rank seven. He already has experience in invading Lang Ya blessed land, it will only be easier this time. Even if he fails and gets attacked by Lang Ya blessed land's full power, he has fate armor Immortal Gu, he can definitely defend himself." A Heavenly Court Gu Immortal beside Fairy Zi Wei analyzed.
Lang Ya blessed land.
Puff!
Feng Jiu Ge's body shook as he spat out a mouthful of blood, he escaped in distress inside the formation space.
Fang Yuan chased after him with a sinister laugh.
Feng Jiu Ge still had shock all over his face: "My Gu worms are vanishing mysteriously! How can this be? This should be a theft path method. Is it Fang Yuan's method or this super formation's?"
He had already used great thief ghost hand many times, but this time around, the results were different.
Fang Yuan only stole a large number of mortal Gu and one sound path Immortal Gu.
"Compared to my previous life, my luck is very low now." Fang Yuan also felt a little helpless.
The higher his cultivation level, the more power Spring Autumn Cicada's rebirth would require, and the deeper his backlash would be.
Before this battle, Fang Yuan had already used methods like burning soul bursting luck, but he was still not reaching his previous life's luck.
"Even though I gained Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's self luck true inheritance, and this true inheritance has a comprehensive amount of killer moves and Immortal Gu recipes, there are only a few luck path Immortal Gu currently. Thus, I have not stolen Fixed Immortal Travel yet."
Fang Yuan sighed in regret while Feng Jiu Ge had a solemn expression.
"He has the power to steal Immortal Gu! The situation is too severe! Even if I have fate armor Immortal Gu, he can steal it."
"Should I use Fixed Immortal Travel to return? Do I abandon Chen Yi..."
Feng Jiu Ge was hesitant.
At the other end.
Heavenly Court's Gu Immortal added: "Compared to Feng Jiu Ge, Lord Chen Yi is a true rank eight Gu Immortal. He is the former first supreme elder of Heavenly Lotus Sect, he has abundant battle experiences in his life. He is also the current generation Genesis Lotus inheritor, he has powerful wood path methods. Lord Chen Yi is old and wise, he is reliable and dependable, he can definitely control the battle situation."
Lang Ya blessed land, super formation.
Chen Yi was full of sweat, the anxiety on his face could not be concealed.
"Damn it!" He cursed in his heart, the super formation isolated him and Feng Jiu Ge, his enemies also vanished completely.
The formation activated as layers of mazes were formed, countless illusions trapped Chen Yi.
Chen Yi continued to investigate and break the illusions but there was an endless number of mazes and illusions.
"Faster, faster!"
"I need to get out of here and join with Feng Jiu Ge."
"How did this happen! Why did it end up like this?!"
Chen Yi cultivated wood path, his formation path attainment was not deep.
Chen Yi's battle style was also not specialized in offense but in sustainability. Be it ancient tree prison cage or karma divine tree, they had the same style.
In the previous life, Chen Yi stayed in the nine-nine consecutive unceasing formation, he caused trouble for Wu Yong and Fang Yuan, but this time, he was the one tormented by Fang Yuan's super immortal formation.
This was the tactic Fang Yuan used after familiarizing himself with Chen Yi.
Heavenly Court.
"I know you are right, but somehow, the unease in my heart is getting more intense." Fairy Zi Wei sighed.
The Heavenly Court Gu Immortal beside her pondered: "That shouldn't be. Even if Feng Jiu Ge and Chen Yi face trouble, Senior Thunder Ghost True Monarch is a true expert! She was a legend that caused problems for Spectral Soul Demon Venerable! Last time, Fang Yuan escaped because of the regional wall. This time in Lang Ya blessed land, she can use her true power! Hehehe, perhaps more than ten Gu Immortals have already died in her hands by now. So what if Fang Yuan is there? He will only run around like a dog after being chased by Thunder Ghost True Monarch!"
The Heavenly Court Gu Immortal said this with overwhelming confidence and certainty.
Lang Ya blessed land, formation space.
Fang Yuan chased after Feng Jiu Ge while soul searching Thunder Ghost True Monarch.
He was multitasking!
His advantage was too large after all.
After using great thief ghost hand multiple times, even though he could not take Fixed Immortal Travel, he had already obtained three of Feng Jiu Ge's sound path Immortal Gu.
Feng Jiu Ge's strength fell drastically but he was not too injured now.
Fang Yuan was using great thief ghost hand primarily, his other offenses were trivial and merely maintained his current advantage.
He did not use moves like Luo Po seal.
Because he was afraid that fate armor Immortal Gu would activate after he injured Feng Jiu Ge.
Once fate armor Immortal Gu was activated, Fairy Zi Wei would be able to sense his exact location.
In the previous life, Fang Yuan suffered a loss from this!
After fate armor Immortal Gu activated, Fairy Zi Wei was able to rapidly deduce and break yama battlefield.
This time around, how could Fang Yuan commit the same mistakes?
"Oh? There are really many Gu Immortals trying to invade Lang Ya blessed land."
Fang Yuan gained a lot of information from soul searching.
Thunder Ghost True Monarch's cultivation information was valuable but Fang Yuan cast it aside, Heavenly Court's situation was much more important to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan had countless wisdom path methods, he quickly deduced: "This means that star cast can be used again, I need to hurry up and end the battle here."
"There is no choice! If this drags on, Fixed Immortal Travel, Fate Armor, and the other Immortal Gu would get stolen by Fang Yuan." Feng Jiu Ge had a solemn expression, he finally made his decision to use Fixed Immortal Travel.
"Wishful thinking!" Fang Yuan smiled coldly, activating Immortal Gu Suppress Space.
Suppress space Immortal Gu!
This Immortal Gu was obtained from the diamond head turtle when he specially went to Southern Border's Earth Trench.
There were many methods to counter Fixed Immortal Travel, but after rebirth, Fang Yuan had two most likely choices.
One was fixed space Immortal Gu, the other was suppress space Immortal Gu.
Fixed space Immortal Gu was in the hands of Heavenly Court Gu Immortal Liu Hao, in the previous life, Fang Yuan ambushed Southern Border's pursuers including Xia Cha, Liu Hao was also captured.
It was a pity that fixed space Immortal Gu self-detonated in Liu Hao's body, Fang Yuan did not obtain it.
As for suppress space Immortal Gu, a Luo clan Gu Immortal, Luo Ran, obtained it.
In the previous life, Wu Yong led the Southern Alliance Gu Immortals to attack the nine-nine consecutive unceasing formation, Luo Ran had used it and achieved great success.
It was too difficult for Fang Yuan to obtain fixed space Immortal Gu now, it was still too early, he was still inside Northern Plains' Lang Ya blessed land, he had not traveled in Southern Border and attracted everyone's rage, Xia Cha and the rest had not pursued him yet. Without Wu Yong seeking help from Fairy Zi Wei, Liu Hao would not get involved.
But suppress space Immortal Gu was easily obtainable according to information from Fang Yuan's previous life.
Fixed space Immortal Gu could fix a location, even if Fixed Immortal Travel activated, the Gu Immortal would only be transported to the fixed location that was chosen.
Meanwhile, suppress space Immortal Gu could prevent the use of any space path methods within a certain area.
As suppress space Immortal Gu was also rank seven, it countered the rank seven Fixed Immortal Travel.
Feng Jiu Ge was shocked by this, to think that Fang Yuan's preparations were so comprehensive.
At the next moment, Feng Jiu Ge's expression paled.
Immortal killer move — Great Thief Ghost Hand!
Fang Yuan laughed heartily, sighing inwardly: "It was not easy, I finally stole Fixed Immortal Travel."
-x-X-x-
Fixed Immortal Travel was finally regained!
This way, even if Fang Yuan rose to rank eight and lost future self, he did not have to worry about losing Fixed Immortal Travel's movement method.
Fixed Immortal Travel was a powerful movement Immortal Gu that was extremely useful to Fang Yuan.
In the previous life, Fang Yuan deduced a killer move with Fixed Immortal Travel as the core, even as a rank eight, he could travel all over the world and cause great chaos.
With this Immortal Gu, he would have incredibly powerful maneuverability!
But in the previous life, Fang Yuan stole Fixed Immortal Travel with one attempt, this time, it was truly troublesome, he used great thief ghost hand more than ten times, a lot of immortal essence was expended.
The flaw of great thief ghost hand was evident.
Even though it could steal Immortal Gu, it would steal mortal Gu in most cases. Fang Yuan stole tens of thousands of mortal Gu from Feng Jiu Ge, but only three or four Immortal Gu.
"Next is fate armor Immortal Gu." Fang Yuan's cold gaze was fixed on Feng Jiu Ge.
As long as he stole fate armor Immortal Gu, Feng Jiu Ge would be finished.
Feng Jiu Ge continued to escape.
He had never thought that he would end up in such a distressed state!
"Fang Yuan knows me very well! He has been trying to steal my Immortal Gu without attacking much, he is targeting my weakness, he knows the power of fate armor Immortal Gu."
Feng Jiu Ge's heart sank to rock bottom, an intense chill permeated in his body.
The more Immortal Gu he lost, the more his battle strength fell.
"Fang Yuan!" Feng Jiu Ge thought about this name in his mind. Even though he had some estimation towards Fang Yuan's growth, he did not not that he would be forced to escape without a way of fighting back.
Back then, Feng Jiu Ge was chasing after Fang Yuan from Southern Border to Western Desert, it seemed just like yesterday, Feng Jiu Ge could still remember clearly.
But to think that now, their situations were reversed!
"Such immense growth!" Feng Jiu Ge sighed in his heart.
It was not that Feng Jiu Ge was not strong, but Fang Yuan's preparations were simply too plentiful.
He did not expose his secret of rebirth, his advantage was well kept.
The super formation in Lang Ya blessed land was modified by Fang Yuan, it was many times stronger than in the previous life.
One of the reason was that Fang Yuan controlled Lang Ya blessed land, he could mobilize all of its resources to build the immortal formation, he could also transact with the three variant human races.
The second reason was that Fang Yuan was much stronger than in the previous life at this point in time, be it formation path or time path, he was far superior.
This allowed him to create this super formation to trap Feng Jiu Ge and Chen Yi.
At the other end.
Chen Yi's eyes flickered with light, he was moving around in the illusory mazes.
"Damn it! I am still trapped after so long!" Chen Yi was lost in the illusory mazes, even though he moved around quickly and broke many illusions, he still felt like vomiting blood.
This formation constantly refreshed Chen Yi's evaluation towards it.
Fang Yuan arranged almost all the variant human Gu Immortals to control the formation and target Chen Yi.
Even though he had great battle strength with immortal killer moves like ancient tree prison cage, giant tree divine statue, karma divine tree, and others, making it very difficult for Fang Yuan to handle these superb killer moves.
In the previous life, Chen Yi fought against two enemies alone, facing the immemorial rock dragon and Heavenly Giant Solor, his performance was incredible and breathtaking.
But now, Fang Yuan obtained control of Lang Ya Sect entirely, he arranged the immemorial rock dragon and Heavenly Giant Solor to deal with Chen Yi but the two were merely assisting, the main thing dealing with Chen Yi was the super formation.
As Chen Yi struggled in the illusory maze, every time he had hope of breaking out, the immemorial rock dragon or Heavenly Giant Solor would appear to obstruct him and stall for time.
Next, the variant human Gu Immortals would create more layers and mazes, causing Chen Yi to stay trapped indefinitely.
Chen Yi's methods were all unusable as a result.
Fang Yuan targeted him specifically, easily countering him.
Chen Yi was very anxious now, the longer this dragged on, the more uneasy he felt.
Was the Thunder Ghost True Monarch corpse earlier just an illusion?
Chen Yi was not certain!
He wanted to believe that it was an illusion.
The reason was simple, with Thunder Ghost True Monarch's battle strength, how could Fang Yuan possibly kill her immediately?
Were there other possibilities?
If Thunder Ghost True Monarch was still alive, why had she shown no commotion at all after such a long time in this battle?
Right now, he and Feng Jiu Ge were isolated, a long time had passed, how was the situation on his end?
"Unless, the dream realm?" Chen Yi had a flash of inspiration.
He did not know that Fang Yuan possessed rank eight steal life Immortal Gu, but he knew that Fang Yuan was skilled at using the self-detonation of Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique bodies to form dream realms and deal with strong enemies.
During the battle at Yi Tian Mountain, Spectral Soul was captured by Heavenly Court. Afterwards, Fang Yuan was pursued by Wu Yong and Feng Jiu Ge, he used the Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique bodies to escape many times.
Without the Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique bodies, Fang Yuan would have died on the way already.
Fairy Zi Wei was a wisdom path great expert, before this trip, she had already made deductions. Fang Yuan's dream realms, Reverse Flow River, and others were all in her consideration.
The dark spiral was the tracer for star cast, it had detection abilities. If there were dream realms or Reverse Flow River nearby, Fairy Zi Wei could sense it.
In fact, Fang Yuan could not truly control the dream realm or Reverse Flow River precisely. Once the Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique bodies self-detonate, they would create an expanding dream realm that moved on its own, he could also only move Reverse Flow River mildly.
Be it the dream realm or Reverse Flow River, as long as the dark spiral was in contact with them, star cast killer move would become unstable and fail.
Fairy Zi Wei only had to create a slightly larger dark spiral to test if there were dream realms or Reverse Flow River around it.
"It is stupid to only use the dream realms or Reverse Flow River as a trap, but what if Fang Yuan created new dream path killer moves? He has Spring Autumn Cicada, he had been reborn from the future after all!" Chen Yi thought.
But the truth was, Fang Yuan currently had no dream realms with him.
His Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique bodies had all been consumed. (Refer to Chapter 1585.)
Most of the Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique bodies were used when Fang Yuan was escaping his pursuers.
This resulted in Fang Yuan going to Southern Border to snatch dream realms after the battle of Lang Ya blessed land.
Later, Fang Yuan made transactions with Chi Qu You secretly, he obtained many dream realms, his Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique bodies became a sizable number.
After that, Fang Yuan ambushed Xia Cha and the rest, these Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique bodies were incredibly useful. It could be said that Chi Qu You was the main contributor, it was because of his secret transactions with Fang Yuan that he could use all these dream realms. If he was just stealing them, the efficiency would be much lower.
Chen Yi made a wrong guess, his heart became heavy.
"No, I must destroy this immortal formation as soon as possible!"
The dangerous situation made Chen Yi resolve to use his trump card killer move — Karma Divine Tree.
The divine tree was lush and green, it was beautiful as a pavilion, green smoke rose slowly as it swayed with the wind.
With karma divine tree above his head, all sorts of illusions and mazes were forced away within a certain area.
Chen Yi could see clearly ahead of him again.
The variant human Gu Immortals gasped.
"This is the karma divine tree killer move that Elder Fang Yuan mentioned?"
"The entire super Gu formation's power is being resisted by this move, the mazes and illusions cannot affect Chen Yi."
"Worthy of Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable's killer move."
During the critical moment, the immemorial rock dragon and Heavenly Giant Solor attacked Chen Yi. The other variant human Gu Immortals controlled the formation, trying to find a new way of trapping Chen Yi.
Chen Yi snorted coldly, he did not fight the rock dragon or giant, he flew around, targeting the formation itself.
The immemorial rock dragon and Heavenly Giant Solor attacked Chen Yi but he defended passively.
Karma divine tree displayed incredible defensive power, it blocked all of the attacks perfectly.
The divine tree which was quite sparse earlier started to bear fruits quickly.
These fruits flew out and landed on the immemorial rock dragon and Heavenly Giant Solor, causing them to endure the damage that they dealt themselves.
"Quickly block Chen Yi, don't let him rampage around." Fang Yuan sensed something amiss, he quickly ordered.
But the variant human Gu Immortals were very busy, they could not use the formation's power to trap Chen Yi. As for entering the battle themselves, they would not do it.
Even though they were allies, they treasured their lives. They would hide inside the formation if they could, in the previous life, they only came out after the formation was destroyed.
Boom!
With an intense explosion, Chen Yi hit a crucial spot, the formation space that was isolated became connected.
Even though Chen Yi cultivated wood path, he was still a rank eight great expert that could mimic other paths, after such a long time inside this super formation, he could notice some of its characteristics.
Chen Yi saw Feng Jiu Ge and quickly shouted loudly: "Hang on, I'm coming!"
It turned out that Feng Jiu Ge was already forced into a corner by Fang Yuan, the situation was dangerous.
"Be careful, the enemy has a way to steal Gu worms." Feng Jiu Ge immediately gave Chen Yi critical information.
Chen Yi's body shook, he immediately thought of the contest over Divine Bean Palace. Western Desert's Gu Immortal Suan Bu Jin was the one who stole legendary immemorial beast Qing Chou's Immortal Gu using theft path.
"They have theft path methods too?!" Chen Yi shook, he frowned deeply.
Now was different from the previous life.
Fang Yuan did not use emperor yama, Chen Yi could not link the two together. There was no evidence supporting the fact that Fang Yuan was Suan Bu Jin.
Theft path was actually spread to an extent in the five regions.
Western Desert's Suan Bu Jin had theft path methods, but Lang Ya blessed land had an even higher possibility of possessing theft path killer moves, after all, Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable had personally worked with Long Hair Ancestor and refined Gu together.
Chen Yi attacked while Fang Yuan snickered, he charged forward too.
He activated reverse flow protection seal while preparing Luo Po seal.
Fang Yuan's aura surged.
"Two rank eight killer moves?!" Chen Yi was deeply shocked, his pupils shrunk: "One for offense and one for defense, they are complementary! Damn it!"
Fang Yuan and Chen Yi fought while the immemorial rock dragon and Heavenly Giant Solor approached Feng Jiu Ge.
Feng Jiu Ge only had rank seven cultivation level now while a few of his Immortal Gu were stolen by Fang Yuan, his battle strength had fallen greatly. Facing the attack of two rank eight battle strengths, he was quickly injured and fate armor Immortal Gu got activated.
Over at Heavenly Court, Fairy Zi Wei's expression changed: "Oh no! Fate Armor was activated, Feng Jiu Ge is in great danger, what should we do?"
In the previous life, Fairy Zi Wei and Feng Jiu Ge were separated by only yama battlefield, she quickly broke the battlefield killer move and saved him.
But now, Fairy Zi Wei and Feng Jiu Ge were apart by a vast distance.
Star cast was only half prepared.
She could not let Feng Jiu Ge die, he was a Dao Guardian!
Chen Yi also knew the importance of Feng Jiu Ge but he was helpless, Fang Yuan was harassing him at all times. Even though karma divine tree was powerful and had both offense and defense, Fang Yuan was also attacking him with two rank eight killer moves.
As time passed, fate armor Immortal Gu became dimmer and dimmer.
Once the light completely faded, Feng Jiu Ge would die.
"What do I do now?!" Chen Yi was panicking, at this moment, he heard Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable's voice in his head: "Look closely, this is the consecutive move built upon karma divine tree — Karma Relocation!"
The killer move activated, as if intense winds were blowing, the green smoke flickered as karma divine tree started to sway and dance in the wind.
Fang Yuan quickly stopped his killer move, he let out a sigh of relief as this killer move was finally forced out.
With karma relocation, Chen Yi could rampage in the battlefield, Fang Yuan could only avoid him.
Chen Yi and Feng Jiu Ge quickly gathered: "Go back, these are my Immortal Gu, remember to tell the situation here to Lady Zi Wei, take revenge for me!"
Chen Yi passed all the other Immortal Gu that he had to Feng Jiu Ge.
At the next moment, karma relocation activated as Feng Jiu Ge was transported away. Even with the super formation and Lang Ya blessed land's aperture walls, it could not block Feng Jiu Ge from leaving.
Karma relocation was a rank nine killer move after all!
"Feng Jiu Ge, you managed to escape this time, but next time will be different." Fang Yuan had a plain expression.
He knew about karma relocation, he knew there was no way to block it.
Earlier, he separated Feng Jiu Ge and Chen Yi because he considered this killer move, it was a pity he did not succeed.
Chen Yi and Feng Jiu Ge were very brilliant, they had abundant battle experiences.
"Since Feng Jiu Ge escaped, you shall stay here and accompany Thunder Ghost True Monarch in the afterlife." Fang Yuan smiled ruthlessly.
Chen Yi smiled plainly: "Senior Thunder Ghost True Monarch was really killed by all of you. Come, even if I die, I will not go down easily."
Chen Yi knew he was going to die, he completely relaxed.
Even though he loved authority and status, he was still a member of Heavenly Court.
Any member of Heavenly Court would not fear sacrifice or death!
The process of killing Chen Yi was not easy, it was difficult and a deadlock occurred many times.
But eventually, Chen Yi succumbed and Fang Yuan took his life.
He did not leave behind any Immortal Gu, but his remnant soul could not escape from Fang Yuan's demonic claws.
The variant human Gu Immortals cheered loudly in victory but they also cried out in pain.
They had severe losses.
Chen Yi killed many of their companions.
Fang Yuan looked at Chen Yi's corpse as he sighed deeply: "As expected of Chen Yi, as expected of a Heavenly Court Gu Immortal!"
Next, he consoled the variant human Gu Immortals, showing deep sincerity and sadness: "Your sacrifices were worth it, this is a glorious victory. Even a rank eight Gu Immortal died at your hands, this result will shock the world."
There were only a few variant human Gu Immortals left, they were all heavily injured.
"Oh heavens, our losses were just too severe this time."
"Lang Ya blessed land suffered the least losses, they were all inside the formation, they were safe inside Heavenly Giant Solor."
"Strange... why did several layers of the formation break all of a sudden, without it, we would not have lost so many people!"
Fang Yuan nodded: "That must be Chen Yi's method, he is truly formidable, I did not even notice anything!"
The variant human Gu Immortals heard this, their eyes turned red and they gritted their teeth: "That's right, this old scoundrel!"
"Killing him was simply not enough!"
"He deserves more than death!"
The pitiful Chen Yi had no idea that even after dying in battle, he had to take the blame for Fang Yuan.
-x-X-x-
"Fang Yuan, you should have a look, those dao marks are changing again!" The moment the battle ended, Lang Ya land spirit transmitted to Fang Yuan.
"What?" Fang Yuan was surprised.
He quickly left the heavily damaged super formation as he arrived at the source of the change.
Feng Jiu Ge had left behind harmful dao marks in many places, but the dark spiral that formed earlier was the densest.
Right now, the other areas with fewer dao marks started to experience a change.
These dao marks gave off pale blue light, they were like stars in the sky, extremely dazzling and bright.
Fang Yuan took a look, his face turned dark.
"It could actually change like this!"
He had wisdom path foundation and star path attainment, he knew what this change was going to do.
"It seems that Feng Jiu Ge went back to Central Continent directly using karma relocation, or he even went back to Fairy Zi Wei directly. Thus, she obtained some information."
"They reacted so quickly!"
Fang Yuan was feeling slight regret.
In the battle earlier, he should not have stalled for time to create a situation where both sides suffered losses.
He should have attacked directly and killed Chen Yi without caring for the immortal essence expenditure.
But the truth was, even if he did that, it would not be much faster. Karma divine tree was too superb, it combined offense and defense, without the variant human Gu Immortals' sacrifice, it was hard to kill Chen Yi in a short time.
Fang Yuan's expression was grim: "The changes in the dao marks should be Heavenly Court's wisdom path great expert trying to locate the precise area of Lang Ya blessed land. We need to get rid of them, it might get very dangerous."
Lang Ya land spirit was very anxious: "The dark spirals are easy to destroy but these harmful shining dao marks are impossible to get rid of. I've already tried!"
"What's going on?" At this time, the remaining variant human Gu Immortals arrived with varying expressions.
Fang Yuan ignored them, thoughts rumbled in his mind as he pondered at the speed of lightning.
"Fairy Zi Wei wants to find the actual location of Lang Ya blessed land, she is giving it one final attempt."
"Heavenly Court lost terribly this time, she is truly infuriated."
"Lang Ya blessed land has already been relocated to Loose Tail Ridge by the land spirit, but Prince Feng Xian is likely nearby, searching for it secretly."
"I cannot let Fairy Zi Wei deduce the true location of Lang Ya blessed land, that would be a terrible situation."
Once the location is exposed, not only would Prince Feng Xian attack, Heavenly Court's Gu Immortals will also reinforce him endlessly. Even if Heavenly Court fails, Fang Yuan would not leave unscathed, it would be a painful victory.
Heavenly Court could even go crazy and tell the location of Lang Ya blessed land to everyone.
This hairy man sacred land would attract the greed of countless people.
Longevity Heaven would be the first to attack!
"What should I do?" Fang Yuan processed his thoughts rapidly.
The variant human Gu Immortals beside him were also becoming more anxious.
They got an explanation from Lang Ya land spirit, they learned about the severity of this situation.
"Heavenly Court is too scary, we only killed two rank eight Gu Immortals after all our efforts."
"We are not out of danger yet! If we do not get rid of these dao marks now, Lang Ya blessed land would be exposed, we would not be able to defend this place."
"That's right, at this point, we can only rely on Lord Fang Yuan!"
Even if Lang Ya blessed land could relocate, it could not make such a commotion with so many enemies outside.
Everyone looked at Fang Yuan expectantly.
"Got it!" Fang Yuan's eyes shined brightly as he shouted.
"You found a method?" Lang Ya land spirit asked immediately.
"Quickly activate the refinement path formation, use my method to refine these dao marks." Fang Yuan answered rapidly.
In his previous life, Fang Yuan had obtained the refinement path true meaning, he learned that the way to get rid of these dao marks was to take action when the blessed land was relocating, it could be easily solved.
But thinking about it, that was a trap.
Prince Feng Xian was ambushing them outside, if Lang Ya blessed land moves, the commotion would expose them, Prince Feng Xian and Heavenly Court would attack.
Fang Yuan's method was to use the refinement path immortal formation and a large amount of rank eight immortal materials, as well as refinement water, to forcefully refine these harmful dao marks.
In his previous life, he did not think of this method because he did not know of the refinement path formation or refinement water during his deductions.
By the time he knew, the battle had ended, he stole Fixed Immortal Travel and Longevity Heaven arrived, Fang Yuan had to escape.
Lang Ya land spirit was suppressed by Fang Yuan to begin with, after getting Fang Yuan's method, there was no hesitation, he immediately activated the refinement path formation and targeted these harmful dao marks.
Rank eight immortal materials were tossed in one by one, the variant human Gu Immortals had strange expressions, the hairy man Gu Immortals had twitching faces.
"So many rank eight immortal materials!"
"This is an immense wealth, Lang Ya blessed land's foundation is actually so deep!"
"It is simply like cabbage sold in the market, I cannot believe this..."
Lang Ya land spirit was also feeling pained: "Elder Fang Yuan, Lang Ya blessed land had accumulated this after much effort, your refinement method is too coarse, it can be improved further. Maybe we can wait a bit and improve on this method, we can save a lot of materials."
"No, trust me, we are in grave danger now. Even though we have no enemies here at the moment, we are not safe. We need to fight against time!" Fang Yuan did not mention Prince Feng Xian, this was just part of his conjecture, he had no evidence.
But Lang Ya land spirit was under Fang Yuan's control, he obeyed him without question.
Fang Yuan's words sounded like a suggestion but they were basically an order to him, he had to execute it.
"Alright, I will listen to you!" Lang Ya land spirit's reply was very short.
Fang Yuan's expression was solemn: "Come and refine these harmful dao marks, don't feel pity for the refinement water used. I will enter the secret room and use wisdom path methods to stop Heavenly Court, nobody is to interrupt me. Anyone who disturbs me is a spy of Heavenly Court, I will kill you on the spot!"
Fang Yuan's gaze was filled with killing intent, he looked around as a chill emerged in all the Gu Immortals' hearts.
After a stern warning, he entered his cloud city and went into the secret room.
Heavenly Court, Central Great Hall.
Fairy Zi Wei sat in her usual seat as her eyes were shut, she was radiating with an intense purple light.
The purple light filled the entire hall, it was like rising smoke or rushing tides, the aura was grand and magnificent.
Fang Yuan's defenses were soon noticed by Fairy Zi Wei.
She frowned a little as she laughed coldly: "Want to stop me? Star Constellation Chessboard!"
She immediately summoned Star Constellation Chessboard to assist her.
Not long ago, Feng Jiu Ge had returned to Heavenly Court with grave injuries, but also precious information!
After learning about it, Fairy Zi Wei immediately understood that the dark spirals were exposed, there was little hope in using them. Thus, she changed her plan and decided to expend these dao marks to deduce the exact location of Lang Ya blessed land inside Loose Tail Ridge.
"I have not lost this battle yet!" Fairy Zi Wei held onto her belief.
Chen Yi and Thunder Ghost True Monarch were likely goners, Feng Jiu Ge was heavily injured and had already fallen unconscious. Fairy Zi Wei was responsible for this battle, she wanted to make up for her mistakes.
In the previous life, Longevity Heaven had acted, they were powerful and originated from Giant Sun Immortal Venerable. Even though Heavenly Court lost, Fairy Zi Wei's reaction was not as severe.
But now, she lost to Fang Yuan and the variant human Gu Immortals, either of them made the proud Heavenly Court Gu Immortals unable to accept this humiliating defeat!
Like what Fang Yuan expected, Fairy Zi Wei was truly angry.
She tried her best, disregarding the intense backlash, to turn this situation around!
Star Constellation Chessboard was a wisdom path rank eight Immortal Gu House, it was extremely helpful.
Fairy Zi Wei quickly got the edge on Fang Yuan as her deduction speed rose continuously.
In the previous life, even though Fairy Zi Wei had this method, because Longevity Heaven had taken over Lang Ya blessed land, there was no point even if she tried.
But now, because Fang Yuan won in the absence of Longevity Heaven, Fairy Zi Wei still had hope. Furthermore, Feng Jiu Ge had used Fate Armor earlier, even though it was a short duration, it was an important clue.
Fairy Zi Wei was very confident in deducing Lang Ya blessed land's location and defeating Fang Yuan across space!
"This is bad." Fang Yuan felt a mountain pressing down on him.
The activation of fate armor Immortal Gu gave Fairy Zi Wei an extremely large advantage in deducing Lang Ya blessed land.
Fairy Zi Wei made use of this weakness, Fang Yuan could not see any hope of stopping her.
"Even though I have many wisdom path methods, I lack truly profound ones."
Even though there was rank nine wisdom Gu, Fang Yuan could only use the light of wisdom. As for rank eight wisdom sword Immortal Gu, Fang Yuan did not have rank eight immortal essence yet. He had attitude Gu but how could Fang Yuan deduce a wisdom path method using attitude Gu as the core to defend against Fairy Zi Wei in this short time?
"There is only one final method!" Resolution shined across Fang Yuan's eyes.
-x-X-x-
Heavenly Court.
In Central Great Hall.
Purple light spread out like rushing tides. Suddenly, the light stopped, it was like the river flow had encountered an obstruction.
Fairy Zi Wei gasped lightly as she opened her eyes.
She was in the middle of deductions, her progress was smooth and success was close, but suddenly, the obstruction grew immensely.
This was not an ordinary change, it was as if she had been pushing a wooden door earlier.
The door was already shaking, there was a high chance of opening it, once she succeeds, Fairy Zi Wei would learn about Lang Ya blessed land's location.
However, this wooden door turned into a heavy iron door instantly.
"What happened?"
"Earlier, Fang Yuan tried to stop me, his wisdom path methods are lacking, he could not succeed."
"But now he suddenly succeeded... wait, I get it, he annexed Lang Ya blessed land."
Fairy Zi Wei's eyes shined with bright light, she got the answer.
Fairy Zi Wei faced great difficulty in deducing Fang Yuan's location earlier. After Fang Yuan obtained emperor yama, she had no hope of success.
As long as Fang Yuan annexed Lang Ya blessed land, it would become part of the sovereign immortal aperture.
If Fairy Zi Wei tried to deduce the location of Lang Ya blessed land, wasn't she just deducing Fang Yuan's location?
Thus, all of Fairy Zi Wei's deductions were stopped by Fang Yuan's emperor yama killer move.
Emperor yama contained the power of rank nine killer move ghostly concealment from Thieving Heaven's true inheritance, it was a huge obstruction to Fairy Zi Wei.
Fairy Zi Wei's thoughts flickered but her movements did not stop, she continued using several wisdom path methods.
After some probing, she confirmed her guess: "This is the same as the time I tried to deduce matters on Fang Yuan, it seems he really annexed Lang Ya blessed land!"
"Annexing a rank seven blessed land would require grandmaster attainment level. Fang Yuan's refinement path has grandmaster attainment level?"
Fairy Zi Wei found that she had underestimated Fang Yuan again.
Her expression was extremely grim.
"Immortal apertures can only devour smaller apertures, what is Fang Yuan's immortal aperture? How can it annex that colossal Lang Ya blessed land?"
Fairy Zi Wei did not know of the sovereign immortal aperture's secret yet, she was secretly shocked because the foundation that Fang Yuan exposed was already quite unfathomable.
"Damn it, Fang Yuan obtained Lang Ya blessed land, his foundation increased tremendously. What are these variant human Gu Immortals doing? They actually let Fang Yuan swallow their foundation? These idiots!"
Fairy Zi Wei gritted her teeth, these variant human Gu Immortals were simply too useless.
"Wait, this is likely Fang Yuan's scheme!"
"He is using these variant human Gu Immortals to target my Heavenly Court. At the same time, he is also using Heavenly Court to weaken these variant human Gu Immortals."
"After this battle, the variant human Gu Immortals must have suffered heavy losses, that's how Fang Yuan forcefully annexed them."
"In fact, he might have even used this threat of my deduction to trick them into agreeing with his plan!"
In one instance, Fairy Zi Wei thought of many things.
Fang Yuan left her an incredibly deep impression of being crafty and shrewd, she could not help but think of him in a bad light.
Fairy Zi Wei was extremely gloomy!
She felt that this attack on Lang Ya blessed land was simply giving Fang Yuan benefits!
"Fang Yuan, I will not let you succeed. Prince Feng Xian..." Fairy Zi Wei had anger in her eyes, she immediately contacted Prince Feng Xian who was in Northern Plains.
Prince Feng Xian had already received orders, he was lurking in Loose Tail Ridge, the original plan was to cooperate with Heavenly Court's Gu Immortals if there was a chance to attack Lang Ya blessed land together. If Northern Plains' Gu Immortals noticed this, he would show up and obstruct them to stall for time.
"Prince Feng Xian, Fang Yuan might show up now, quickly investigate, try to stall him the moment you find him." Fairy Zi Wei ordered.
"Understood." Prince Feng Xian said before quickly changing his tone: "Wait, I found him already!"
"You are alone, be careful!" Fairy Zi Wei quickly said: "Fang Yuan is devious and scheming, the theft path Immortal Gu might come from Lang Ya Sect, it could also be his. I have already sent Gu Immortals into Northern Plains to help you. But in the short term, you have no reinforcements."
Prince Feng Xian had a solemn expression: "I understand."
He was a rank eight Gu Immortal but he had to be so careful against a rank seven Gu Immortal?
But he did not feel any absurdity in this, it was only natural.
Not just Prince Feng Xian, Fairy Zi Wei and the Heavenly Court Gu Immortals felt the same.
Their earlier underestimation only revealed their own foolishness.
Thunder Ghost True Monarch and Chen Yi died, this demon Fang Yuan was extraordinary, he could not be assessed with common sense.
Others could be underestimated, but trying to look down on Fang Yuan was simply stupidity!
"He is here indeed." Fang Yuan flew in the sky, he turned around to look, Prince Feng Xian was already getting close to him at a rapid speed.
The commotion of annexing Lang Ya blessed land was not small, Fang Yuan's main body was exposed.
Prince Feng Xian had been waiting close by, the moment he sensed it, he charged over.
Fang Yuan flew ahead rapidly.
He did not want to fight Prince Feng Xian.
After an intense battle earlier, he was not in peak condition, he had consumed a lot of immortal essence.
At the same time, he had to defend against Fairy Zi Wei's deductions. Emperor yama was closely covering his soul, concealing his traces and expending his soul foundation.
"Fang Yuan, where are you running?"
"If you are a man, stay here and fight me for three hundred rounds!"
"You coward, do you only know how to run?"
...
Prince Feng Xian had an arrogant attitude, he continued to scold endlessly.
But the truth was, Prince Feng Xian was very much on guard, he seemed arrogant but his mind was on alert.
Fang Yuan sneered, no matter how Prince Feng Xian provoked him, he paid no heed.
Even if Fang Yuan was not in his peak condition, even with just rank seven cultivation level, by using reverse flow protection seal, Luo Po seal, Heavenly Giant Solor, and the immemorial rock dragon, he could totally fight evenly with Prince Feng Xian without falling back.
But what was the point?
Fighting against Prince Feng Xian could possibly cause problems if he was careless.
This was one of the ten great fierce areas of Northern Plains, Loose Tail Ridge!
If Fang Yuan used his methods, he would expose precious information, his immortal essence would be expended for no reason. If Heavenly Court's reinforcements arrived while they fought, the situation would become much worse.
The king does not dispatch troops based on anger!
Be they righteous path or demonic path, if one could not control their emotions, regardless of how big their achievements were at the moment, they were just foolish clowns at the core.
"I arrived, this is it." Fang Yuan flew rapidly, when he saw the valley ahead of him with that huge frosty lake, he became extremely joyful.
Prince Feng Xian had taken action long ago, he sent attacks towards Fang Yuan from the back.
The two chased and fled, they rapidly got close to the frosty lake.
A huge wave appeared in the frosty lake as an immemorial frost dragon appeared. It had a horn on its head, a long body of over a hundred feet, and many layers of white scales on its body, the temperature of the surroundings fell drastically once it appeared.
The immemorial frost dragon screeched, warning Fang Yuan and Prince Feng Xian to not approach its territory.
But this immemorial frost dragon was Fang Yuan's target!
When Lang Ya land spirit first relocated the blessed land, going from the crescent lake to Loose Tail Ridge, he did not tell Fang Yuan about the specific location, he was on guard against Fang Yuan.
But now that the land spirit was under him, Lang Ya blessed land's location and the surrounding forces became Fang Yuan's knowledge.
The immemorial frost dragon's warning was useless, Fang Yuan and Prince Feng Xian still charged towards it.
It became enraged as it gulped, opening its mouth and emitting its endless frost breath.
The frost breath was like a wave made of ice and frost, it was pure and white, everywhere it went, there was an icy light which shined like crystals.
Fang Yuan activated reverse flow protection seal, moving into this colossal frost breath.
Prince Feng Xian saw that the situation was amiss, he also chased after Fang Yuan.
The frost breath engulfed everything, it interfered with Prince Feng Xian's investigative killer move.
Fang Yuan's reverse flow protection seal made sure that he was intact and safe.
As the frost breath flew past him, countless horse carriage sized ice shards descended.
Prince Feng Xian was bathed in flames, there was a layer of frost on his brows as he floated in the sky.
After blocking the frost breath, Prince Feng Xian did not feel any smugness, instead, he felt angered and anxious.
Because he had lost any trace of Fang Yuan.
"Fang Yuan has familiar face, he probably turned into an ice shard and descended with them!"
Prince Feng Xian knew some important information, with his rich battle experiences, he immediately realized the most likely reason for Fang Yuan's disappearance. It was not easy now if he wanted to find Fang Yuan's main body.
Especially when the immemorial frost dragon attacked him right when he was about to move.
"Stupid beast!" Prince Feng Xian shouted in anger.
The immemorial frost dragon had limited wisdom, since Fang Yuan vanished, it thought that he had died. The only one remaining was Prince Feng Xian, who was conspicuously bathed in raging flames.
Compared to Fang Yuan's rank seven aura, Prince Feng Xian had a powerful rank eight aura, he was on the same level as the immemorial frost dragon.
In the immemorial frost dragon's eyes, Fang Yuan was trivial, the true threat was Prince Feng Xian!
Boom boom boom!
Prince Feng Xian had no choice but to fight against the immemorial frost dragon intensely.
At the same time, he found an opportunity to investigate all of the ice shards on the ground.
He soon made a discovery.
An ice shard fell onto the frosty lake and did not float, instead, it turned into an ancient frost dragon and swam towards the bottom of the pond.
"Fang Yuan, you cannot escape!" Prince Feng Xian gave up on attacking the immemorial frost dragon, he targeted the frosty lake.
Fang Yuan entered the frosty lake and dived down continuously.
Soon, he saw a large number of frost dragons, here were ancient frost dragons and desolate beast frost dragons.
This was a huge family of frost dragons!
These frost dragons only looked at Fang Yuan curiously, he was one of them, they had no desire to attack.
Prince Feng Xian's attack on the frosty lake was a completely different issue.
Many of the ancient frost dragons started to attack him but Prince Feng Xian incinerated all of them.
The ancient frost dragons went into chaos, a small portion of them became ferocious as they pestered Prince Feng Xian while the rest escaped.
Fang Yuan was overjoyed, he mixed into the group.
"Fang Yuan, come out if you have guts!" Prince Feng Xian lost all traces of Fang Yuan again, he screamed angrily inside the frosty lake, his voice caused huge ripples and waves in the calm pond.
The immemorial frost dragon cried out in despair, its descendants were all brutally murdered by this human Gu Immortal, blood dyed the frosty lake as its anger reached the tipping point.
It attacked Prince Feng Xian with overwhelming hatred and anger!
