Twelfth Hair laughed heartily as he said some pleasantries.
Looking back at the mermaid immortals, he saw that they were in a daze, some of the Gu Immortals even had tears in their eyes.
Twelfth Hair was startled, he quickly said: "If I have done anything wrong..."
Before he finished, Lian Ke Xin interrupted him: "Twelfth Hair, don't worry. It is just that we saw everyone being harmonious and tolerant in this sovereign immortal aperture, each individual is given a chance with equal opportunities, they are close and tightly knit together, regardless of whether they are an inkman, rockman, snowman, or even human."
"To speak the truth, I have never seen anything like this. I did not even dare to imagine that such a place would exist in this world we live in!"
Twelfth Hair was silent.
He was originally a member of Lang Ya Sect, even though Lang Ya blessed land was well hidden, he was aware of the situation in the five regions and two heavens, the variant humans had low statuses, they were suppressed by the humans and were all living difficult lives.
Looking at it from the perspective of the Eastern Sea Merman Imperial Court, they had been surrounded by human forces and definitely faced much greater pressure than Lang Ya Sect's hairy men.
Even though the sight in Star Collection City was simple and normal, it created a huge impact on the mermaid immortals.
For an instant, all of the mermaid immortals had a similar thought.
No matter how chaotic or dangerous the sovereign immortal aperture's environment became, they had to continue living here!
"Maybe this is our true homeland!" Yu Zi muttered.
"This is a wonderful place to live in." Lian Ke Xin sighed deeply.
"I finally understand the true meaning of Great Love. Master is truly worthy of being Great Love Immortal Venerable, he is unlike the detestable Longevity Heaven or Heavenly Court. Be it Star Constellation Immortal Venerable or Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, they cannot compare to our master!" A mermaid immortal spoke about Fang Yuan in an extremely reverent tone.
Twelfth Hair gave a thumbs up as he said proudly: "Even among all the venerables, master has the biggest heart! It was only natural that Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable thought highly of him and gave all of his inheritance to master. Nobody else is qualified to receive this. We can only obtain true happiness by following master's footsteps, since you recognize this now, then work hard to defend our home from now on, this is the way to maintain our blissful life."
The mermaid immortals nodded their heads, some were so moved they started crying.
After calming down, Tang Qiong asked: "I wonder what the profound use of this sub-hall is?"
Twelfth Hair gasped, he showed a complex expression.
There was pride and admiration in his eyes, one could even see excitement and thrill, but he also had some lingering fear.
Even Twelfth Hair's hair could not conceal his expression.
This made the mermaid immortals even more curious.
Next, the female immortals heard the explanation: "This was once a formation called the liver life formation. But recently, master modified it into an Immortal Gu House."
"It has an excellent effect, it is very useful!" Saying so, Twelfth Hair gave a thumbs up again.
He said to the mermaid immortals with a tone that contained deep meaning:" You will definitely make good use of it in the future!"
After hearing Twelfth Hair's in-depth description, the Liver Life Immortal Gu House left a deep impression on the mermaid immortals.
There was nothing else to introduce in Star Collection City, Twelfth Hair brought these mermaid immortals out of the mini nine heavens.
The group came to Mini Eastern Sea and looked at the sea area below.
Tides were rising, a sea breeze was blowing.
Twelfth Hair explained: "This is the location that master has chosen for your merman race to live and grow from now on."
The mermaid Gu Immortals quickly used their investigative methods to inspect this sea area's environment.
The unexpected good news was that this sea area has a vast quantity of ordinary Gu materials, but they were scattered chaotically with no order at all. Furthermore, many of the Gu materials conflicted with each other, they were in the process of breaking down.
This situation was caused by the sovereign immortal aperture's dao marks.
The sovereign immortal aperture had many dao marks, that naturally led to the creation of many Gu materials. Because of non-conflicting dao marks, strange situations occurred often and the Gu materials were distributed chaotically and ended up in an unstable state.
"This is the map of the five regions and nine heavens, it is a version from three days ago, I will gift this to you." Twelfth Hair pointed as an information path mortal Gu flew out.
"Version from three days ago?" Yu Zi was very alert.
"Indeed." Twelfth Hair nodded and explained: "Because strange situations are occurring all the time, terrain will also change along with them. And because master is constantly adding in resource points and annexing blessed lands and grotto-heavens, the map of the five regions and nine heavens has been changing all the time, it needs to be updated constantly."
Yu Zi looked into the Gu and shouted in shock: "So big?!"
Her shouting attracted the attention of the mermaid immortals, they had rarely seen Yu Zi, a leading elder, act in such a manner.
Twelfth Hair said with a trace of pride in his tone, he laughed: "The sovereign immortal aperture was originally over 335,000km2 in size. Now, after master's annexing of apertures and undergoing tribulations, the size has expanded by a hundred times, we are over 33,500,000km2 in size now!"
When the other female immortals heard this news, they became dumbstruck and went into a daze.
Twelfth Hair smiled again: "Don't worry, this place will continue to get bigger. If one day, the sovereign immortal aperture surpasses the five regions and two heavens in size, we will not be surprised!"
"I have already marked your territory on this map."
"My mission has been completed, but if you have any needs, feel free to contact me using this information path mortal Gu."
"I am currently living on Yellow Hair Continent, I am in charge of leading the yellow hair hairy men, you and I can be considered neighbors."
Lian Ke Xin and Yu Zi quickly expressed their gratitude, they took out their own information path mortal Gu that were used for communication and exchanged them with Twelfth Hair.
After Twelfth Hair said his goodbyes to the mermaid immortals, he vanished into the sky.
After Lian Ke Xin and Yu Zi discussed among themselves, the six mermaid immortals started to get busy.
They sent people to scout and probe the surroundings, including the sky and sea, to collate the resources. On the other hand, the Gu Immortals also created a super sized defensive Gu formation.
After the two tasks were completed, the mermaid immortals opened their immortal aperture's entrances.
Groups of mermen went into this sea area along with their families.
Under the instructions of the female merman Gu Immortals, these eight hundred thousand mermen started to build houses, create underwater villages, towns, and even cities at the center.
The mermaid immortals created six cities, each one had a Gu Immortal to guard it.
The cities were surrounded by towns which had branched out villages.
Because they made ample preparation, the merfolk did not lack living resources.
Chaos was, of course, unavoidable, they had just arrived here after all.
But with the guidance and control of the mermaid immortals, no losses appeared.
They worked hard for nine days and nights, after the merfolk mortals settled down, Yu Zi and Lian Ke Xin gathered the immortals for a meeting.
"There are many ordinary Gu materials but each one has low quantity, they change a lot as well. In my opinion, we should organize groups of merman Gu Masters to collect these Gu materials at set intervals of time."
"The environment is quite safe here, there are few desolate beasts and almost no ancient desolate beasts."
"There are also no common food like kelp, fish, or shrimp, we need to raise them from scratch. We also need to create a stable ecology."
"There are few immortal materials here. According to the map, the closest immortal material resource point is the seven treasures sea spring, it produces seven treasures water."
"Don't target resource points, this is the sovereign immortal aperture, all resource points belong to master. If we want to get resources, we have to complete missions and exchange for them using contribution points."
Speaking of missions, these mermaid immortals had been researching hard on the missions.
"Twelfth Hair is right, I think that we need to focus on completing missions to prove our worth. That way, the other Gu Immortals will acknowledge us."
"I checked clearly, the most suitable missions for us are the ones to build water path resource points. Master has grand and magnificent ambitions, he is establishing water veins now. The first water vein has already been completed, he is making the second one now, this is our chance."
"You are right, but we cannot give up on other missions. Especially the ones that involve other Gu Immortals, I think we should take some of them and use the missions to get acquainted with and befriend the other Gu Immortals. Before coming here, we prepared a lot of gifts, they are still with us now."
After the mermaid immortals talked about this, the decision was that Yu Zi would stay in this sea area and be in charge of creating the ecology, this would create a stable source of food for the mermen.
The four female immortals led by Lian Ke Xin went around the place to collect information while also establishing relationships with other factions.
Lian Ke Xin spent an entire day to arrive at Yellow Hair Continent.
Twelfth Hair received her information path mortal Gu's notification already, he went to the sky to welcome her.
As the saying goes, better a close neighbor than a distant brother, the two parties were inclined to establish a healthy relationship.
Lian Ke Xin brought a gift with her again, these days, while researching the contribution board, she noticed that in the sovereign immortal aperture, the hairy men were undoubtedly the number one force!
Twelfth Hair also prepared a present, it was very valuable too.
After talking for a while, Twelfth Hair heard of the mermaid immortals' actions and smiled at Lian Ke Xin: "You've done the right thing."
"In the five regions and two heavens, Gu Immortals will visit each other and hold banquets, in the worst case, they will at least prepare tea. But in the sovereign immortal aperture, this never happens! How can we have the time to entertain anyone in these useless banquets?"
"It is very wise of you to use these missions to meet with other people. If you follow the customs of the five regions and two heavens, you will not be well received by everyone."
After hearing these words, Lian Ke Xin felt glad internally, she understood the style of the sovereign immortal aperture's Gu Immortals soon after.
Twelfth Hair said directly: "We both took a mission to nurture Gu Immortal seeds, let's go. Time is pressing, let's go to the most important one."
Lian Ke Xin went with Twelfth Hair and they flew while concealing their traces, entering a forest in the mountain.
A hairy man Gu Master was getting chased, he was covered in wounds and ran in the forest hurriedly.
Sounds could be heard from behind him, slowly creeping closer.
Lian Ke Xin inspected and found that this hairy man Gu Master was actually a mixed blood of hairy man and human.
"His name is Gu Yue Fang Xiang." Twelfth Hair introduced at this time.
Lian Ke Xin's pupils contracted immediately, her entire body shuddered.
Twelfth Hair quickly raised his hand: "Don't let your thoughts run wild! He is not master's bloodline, he is the son of Gu Yue Fang Zheng. Hehe, master is truly farsighted, his vision is far beyond our understanding, he has been secretly nurturing this kid, creating opportunities and setbacks for him. He is currently the most qualified Gu Immortal seed among our hairy man Gu Masters!"
-x-X-x-
"Huff, huff, huff..." Gu Yue Fang Xiang breathed roughly, he hid behind the roots of an ancient tree.
The huge ancient tree had giant roots protruding out of the ground, they were interwoven and created a secluded area.
Gu Yue Fang Xiang managed to temporarily get away from the pursuit, he gained some time to rest and recover.
He was still bleeding profusely from his mouth and nose, he hurriedly wiped away the traces on his lips as he started to inspect his own physical condition.
Gu Yue Fang Xiang's expression turned dim, he found more than ten injuries on his body, he had three bone fractures and the most severe injuries were in his organs, he needed healing urgently.
But he was neither worried nor flustered.
This was not the first time he had gotten injuries of such severity.
Gu Yue Fang Xiang tore his upper shirt that was extremely tattered, it was easily removed, his chest that was covered in black hair was exposed.
There was a deep wound across his chest, broken white bones could be seen from within.
Gu Yue Fang Xiang gritted his teeth, activating his Gu worm.
The healing Gu worm resembled a centipede, it dived into his body through the wound, quickly stopping the internal bleeding.
After a while, the centipede was covered in blood and came out of Fang Xiang's body, lying on his chest wound.
Its hundred pairs of legs stabbed into the skin of his wound, the intense pain made Gu Yue Fang Xiang suck in a sharp breath.
Next, the centipede slowly exerted force as its hundred pairs of legs dragged the skin and flesh, emitting a soft sound and forcing the wound to mend together.
But this handling of the injury only suppressed it, it could not solve the root cause, Gu Yue Fang Xiang knew that but there was no time for him to heal himself.
"I see blood traces!"
"Hurry, hurry."
"Be careful, that kid is quite dangerous."
"What's there to fear, even if he has rank five cultivation level, after getting hit by our leader's crippled refinement killer move, most of his Gu worms were destroyed."
"Hehe, precisely because of such thinking, more than ten experts died at his hands already."
"This mixed blood Gu Yue Fang Xiang is truly a monster!"
All these discussions made Gu Yue Fang Xiang's expression change.
"Damn it! They arrived so quickly, I had just handled my wounds..." Gu Yue Fang Xiang clenched his teeth, he inspected the remaining few Gu worms in his aperture.
At this point, most of the Gu worms had been destroyed already.
The remaining ones were mostly injured, if he tried to activate them, they would be destroyed in the process.
These were all Gu worms that Gu Yue Fang Xiang had accumulated after much effort, but now, he had no choice but to sacrifice them!
"Oh sleep lurk Gu, I can only depend on you now. You must persevere!" Gu Yue Fang Xiang prayed as he activated the Gu worm to conceal himself.
This rank four Gu worm had outstanding concealment effects on par with rank five. Gu Yue Fang Xiang had used it many times in his life to escape from fierce threats.
But this Gu had a weakness, once activated, the Gu Master would fall into deep sleep. The deeper their sleep, the better the concealment effect.
Gu Yue Fang Xiang lost his sensation of the outside world as a result.
What he did not know was that after he fell asleep for some time, this sleep lurk Gu broke apart into pieces.
But the pursuers were still chasing him.
Seeing this, the lurking Twelfth Hair waved his hand, the immortal killer move was instantly used on Gu Yue Fang Xiang.
A yellow hair hairy man Gu Master that was chasing him combed the surroundings carefully while checking the tree roots that Gu Yue Fang Xiang was hiding in.
Even though he was right in front of Gu Yue Fang Xiang, he could not see the latter.
Eventually, he concluded that Gu Yue Fang Xiang had escaped from this mountain, so he went deeper into the mountain to pursue him.
After Gu Yue Fang Xiang woke up, he found that he was safe and let out a sigh of relief.
Looking in his aperture, he found that the sleep lurk Gu had already shattered into pieces, he felt glad and also lingering fear: "It seems that sleep lurk Gu lasted until the crucial moment, so I managed to get away from the pursuers. They have already gone to the next mountain, now is the time for me to escape."
Gu Yue Fang Xiang was very happy, because his injuries had already stabilized, he quickly got up and left.
He hid in the deep bushes of the forest as he moved, carefully trying not to leave any traces behind as he escaped.
After half a day, the sky suddenly turned dim, a strange fog appeared in the mountain's forest.
Gu Yue Fang Xiang arrived in a deep pool on the mountain, he inspected the surroundings and felt very satisfied, he decided to stay here for some time and recuperate.
"There is a good source of water here, wild beasts will definitely come here to drink water, be it water or beast flesh, they are both needed."
"If I am lucky, I can even hunt and obtain some Gu materials to refine Gu worms, that will refill my stock of Gu worms!"
Gu Yue Fang Xiang was very experienced in living alone within the mountains and forests.
He was a mixed blood of human and hairy man, in the Black Hair Continent that was ruled by hairy men, he was greatly ostracized.
Even his birth mother, Steel Thread City Lord, did not like him.
In Gu Yue Fang Xiang's childhood and adolescence, his greatest wish was to use all his effort to gain the acknowledgement of his mother.
However, because he was a mixed blood, his aptitude in Gu refinement was far inferior to hairy men. And the worst thing was that hairy men took pride in Gu refinement.
But the problem was that Gu Yue Fang Xiang also had his secret encounters, because of all sorts of situations, he coincidentally obtained some special cultivation methods.
He was hardworking and shocked people with his performance, gradually, his mother, Steel Thread City Lord, changed her opinion of him. She started to accept him from the depths of her heart.
But good times did not last long, Steel Thread City was attacked once and the entire city's people were nearly wiped out, Steel Thread City Lord did her best and escaped with Gu Yue Fang Xiang in the end.
Before her death, Steel Thread City Lord told Gu Yue Fang Xiang of his identity: "Oh son, mother has let you down. Didn't you always want to know about your father?"
"His name is Gu Yue Fang Zheng, he was once a human slave that I owned. But after he escaped, he became a renowned demonic path Gu Master expert."
"You have a human name, it is called Gu Yue Fang Xiang. Go and find your father, tell him your name and everything that has happened in your life."
"We have strong enemies that want to kill us, if you want to take revenge for me, you need to find your father first."
Like that, the youngster Gu Yue Fang Xiang stepped on the journey to find his father.
He secretly went from Black Hair Continent to White Hair Continent, before moving to Yellow Hair Continent.
The journey was filled with lots of difficulties and danger, he faced constant challenges and trouble.
Even though Gu Yue Fang Zheng was no longer in the aperture, the stories of his experiences across the three continents were left behind as legendary tales.
Gu Yue Fang Xiang's cultivation level slowly rose as his social experiences became richer, countless battles and escapes shaped his optimistic and determined nature, he believed that one day, he would definitely find his father!
Near the deep pool, Gu Yue Fang Xiang took a good rest for the night.
At the break of dawn, mountain mist became extremely dense, Gu Yue Fang Xiang showed a suspicious look as he went to the periphery of the deep pool.
He found that this deep pool was very strange.
The mist in the mountain originated from this pool.
Gu Yue Fang Xiang stayed here for half a day and a full night, but he did not find any traces of beasts that came here to drink water.
All sorts of phenomena gave him a familiar sensation. Whenever he had a fortuitous encounter, something like this would occur.
Gu Yue Fang Xiang had a rich adventurous spirit, after probing for some time, he went into the pool.
But out of his expectations, the pool was not ice-cold, the deeper he went, the warmer it got.
Gu Yue Fang Xiang got all the way to the depths of the pool, the water was as comfortable as hot springs.
"This is?" He found a piece of white jade in the deep pool.
The jade was nearly transparent, from the outside, he could easily see that there was a beauty sealed inside the jade.
"This is a mermaid?" Gu Yue Fang Xiang looked at the beauty's face and his pupils expanded, he felt deeply moved: "So beautiful!!"
He had never seen such a beautiful woman.
Such beauty made his heart jump, he felt a sense of adoration emerging from his heart.
The mermaid that was 'sealed' in the white jade was Lian Ke Xin.
She transmitted her voice to Fang Xiang: "Interesting mixed blood kid, you are the one who woke me up?"
Gu Yue Fang Xiang wanted to scream as he opened his mouth, because he forgot that this was deep within the pool, water quickly gushed into his mouth.
He quickly shut his mouth, he showed a pathetic look.
Lian Ke Xin laughed out loud, Gu Yue Fang Xiang felt his entire body going numb from infatuation, he thought: "This mysterious mermaid has such a beautiful voice as well!"
Lian Ke Xin explained: "I am mermaid immortal Lian Ke Xin, after I calmed a disaster in the world, I got injured by accident and became sealed in this white jade. Young man, it is fate that we met, please give me a hand to break free from here."
Gu Yue Fang Xiang was extremely shocked but he did not have a Gu worm that could transmit his voice, he cupped his fists and bowed deeply, he tried to use sign language in the water to express his words.
Lian Ke Xin smiled: "Don't worry, this white jade cannot trap me, it is just that I need some time to break free. If you can refine the rank four earth refinement Gu and refine this white jade from the outside, it will save me a lot of effort."
Gu Yue Fang Xiang nodded in succession.
Lian Ke Xin then gave him pointers and the Gu recipe of earth refinement Gu, she also instructed him to find the suitable Gu materials in the vicinity.
Gu Yue Fang Xiang went out of the pool and immediately got to work.
After spending three days, he finally refined the rank four earth refinement Gu on his first try.
"I was really lucky!" Gu Yue Fang Xiang felt glad internally, according to his regular performance, rank four Gu worms were not easy to refine, he was just a mixed blood after all.
"It seems that even heaven is helping me to save this fairy." Gu Yue Fang Xiang sighed to himself.
Twelfth Hair, who was hiding himself to the side, shook his head, while unable to contain his laughter.
It was with his secret help that Gu Yue Fang Xiang could succeed in one try.
After obtaining earth refinement Gu, Gu Yue Fang Xiang did not rest, he went into the deep pool with a tired body and started to refine the white jade.
Lian Ke Xin successfully 'escaped', she smiled at Gu Yue Fang Xiang and showed a gaze of appreciation.
Gu Yue Fang Xiang's face turned red, he quickly lowered his head.
In order to express her gratitude, Lian Ke Xin waved her hand and healed all of Gu Yue Fang Xiang's injuries. Next, she gave him close to ten mortal Gu as his reward and even one inheritance.
Lian Ke Xin was about to leave, Gu Yue Fang Xiang asked in panic: "Fairy, fairy, will I be able to meet you again?"
Lian Ke Xin smiled: "Do you know the difference between immortal and mortal?"
Gu Yue Fang Xiang shook intensely, his face turned ashen and pale.
But Lian Ke Xin added: "The inheritance I gave you is an immortal cultivation method. If you can become an immortal, you will surely meet me again."
"Ah!" Gu Yue Fang Xiang cried out, lost for words, he did not expect that this fortuitous encounter would be so valuable.
After a moment, he watched in a daze by the pool as Lian Ke Xin flew up into the sky, vanishing into the clouds.
"Lian Ke Xin, Fairy Ke Xin..." Gu Yue Fang Xiang muttered, his hand over his heart.
Lian Ke Xin's appearance was etched into his memories.
He knew that from now on, other than finding his father, he had a new goal to achieve in life —
That was to become a Gu Immortal and meet with Fairy Lian Ke Xin again!
-x-X-x-
"How is it?" Twelfth Hair asked with a smile.
Within the clouds, he met with mermaid immortal Lian Ke Xin secretly.
Lian Ke Xin replied: "He is a Gu Immortal seed indeed, there is a high chance of becoming an immortal."
Twelfth Hair shook his head: "He obtained an immortal cultivation method and strong motivation from this, but they are not enough. We need to continue raising his foundation, after all, the balancing of three qi can only be done by himself."
As for the other calamities and tribulations, they were not a problem! The immortals could secretly help him from the side.
"Then what do you intend?" Lian Ke Xin showed a look of hesitation.
Twelfth Hair explained: "I will give him around eight days to familiarize himself with those mortal Gu. Afterwards, I will arrange for those pursuers to find him and act as his sparring targets."
"His mother, Steel Thread City Lord, is not dead, she is only in a comatose state of near death, only a Gu Immortal's method can save her."
"I will let him understand this and affirm his determination to go through and pass the tribulation!"
Lian Ke Xin heard this and became solemn for a while, she soon praised: "Friend, you have broad visions, I cannot compare to you. After we complete this mission, I hope you can decide the distribution of contribution points."
"Fairy, you are too modest." Twelfth Hair squinted his eyes and waved his hand: "I will report your effort as well. Besides, Star Collection City decides the contribution points, how can I interfere with it?"
Lian Ke Xin had originally taken this mission to get closer to Twelfth Hair. But once she found out about Gu Yue Fang Xiang's special identity, she immediately understood that Gu Yue Fang Xiang would become very useful in the future, he was an important pawn to Fang Yuan!
Thus, this mermaid immortal came up with a plot, she went in and used herself as bait to interact with Gu Yue Fang Xiang.
In order to perform well, this mermaid immortal was putting in her full effort.
Twelfth Hair was afraid that her performance would affect his own gains, thus, he explained another plan to Lian Ke Xin.
Lian Ke Xin was very sharp, she quickly explained that she was not going to fight with him over contribution points, this made Twelfth Hair feel very satisfied about their cooperation.
The atmosphere between the two became harmonious again.
After a short conversation, suddenly, far away in the south, a huge pillar of light soared to the sky as an eerie Gu refinement aura spread around the vicinity.
Lian Ke Xin sensed it and her expression changed: "Someone has just succeeded in refining rank seven Immortal Gu?"
She then turned to look at Twelfth Hair as she praised: "Your race is truly talented, just this aura alone is making me feel admiration and aspiration. I wonder if a meeting can be arranged for us?"
Twelfth Hair showed a difficult expression, he subconsciously suppressed his volume as he shook his head: "I can introduce you to any other hairy man Gu Immortal, but this person is very special. He is actually Spectral Soul Demon Venerable's clone, he has been affected by master's method, he is imprisoned for life and cannot stop refining Gu."
Lian Ke Xin was very shocked when she heard this, inspiration flashed in her mind, she asked involuntarily: "Don't tell me this imprisoned Gu Immortal is Sixth Hair?"
Twelfth Hair nodded: "Very astute, fairy, you guessed it right on your first try. The valley that Sixth Hair lives in is also specially arranged by master, it is a forbidden area in the sovereign immortal aperture, we call it the Spectral Valley Forbidden Ground."
Currently, within the Spectral Valley Forbidden Ground.
Sixth Hair was thin as a stick, his cheeks were caved in and his eye bags were deep.
A rank seven Immortal Gu had just been refined.
This Gu worm looked like an ant, the front half was shiny while the lower half was dim, its front limbs were short and weak while its back legs were long and powerful.
It was the enslavement path Immortal Gu — master-servant Gu.
"Finally, I finally refined it..."
"I failed thirty-three times, got heavily injured twenty-seven times, and nearly died nineteen times, but I still refined it in the end!"
"With this Immortal Gu, I can definitely help sect leader Fang Yuan."
"I need to rely on sect leader to save the main body."
"Wait, am I forgetting something... never mind, I need to continue refining Gu."
"The more Immortal Gu I refine, the stronger Shadow Sect will get, and the higher the hope of saving the main body!"
Sixth Hair's state of mind was not right, after mumbling for some time, he started to prepare and refine other Immortal Gu.
A moment later.
Within treasure yellow heaven, Fang Yuan's will and He Feng Yang's will completed a transaction under everyone's watchful gazes.
Fang Yuan obtained an earth path resource point of Central Continent called nine central stone forest, while He Feng Yang obtained master-servant Gu.
"They really did a transaction, this is unbelievable, He Feng Yang is actually so daring!"
"He is not doing this out of desperation, it is obvious that Immortal Crane Sect has instructed him to do this."
"Immortal Crane Sect? No, if they publicly transacted with Heaven Refining Demon Venerable, even Immortal Crane Sect cannot bear the pressure from everyone. This transaction is definitely approved by Heavenly Court, otherwise, how can the ten great ancient sects even dare to do this?"
"Didn't Heavenly Court denounce Fang Yuan as a Demon Venerable? They will cooperate with him?"
"So what? Rank seven Immortal Gu are hard to refine, Heavenly Court is extremely rich, they have countless resource points like nine central stone forest, this cost for an Immortal Gu is too worthwhile, even I would do it!"
"Fang Yuan is truly Heaven Refining Demon Venerable, he can refine rank seven Immortal Gu with such ease! It is simply as easy as drinking water."
"What do you think his success rate of refining rank eight Immortal Gu is? It won't be so easy, right? I think he has fifty, no, thirty percent chance of success."
"What about rank nine Immortal Gu?"
"Hehe, you must be joking! Even a refinement path venerable will face great difficulties when trying to refine a rank nine Gu. Look at historical records, there had been many attempts to refine rank nine Immortal Gu, but how many truly succeeded? Even Star Constellation Immortal Venerable took a hundred years to refine a wild rank nine wisdom Gu."
"That's right, Heavenly Court spent over a million years to repair the rank nine fate Gu. And in the end? It was all for nothing. And they were just trying to repair a rank nine Immortal Gu, refining one from scratch is too hard!"
"Who knows, this Gu Yue Fang Yuan is the first refinement path venerable in history, we can only look up to him, we cannot fathom his true abilities."
At once, the Gu Immortals of the five regions and two heavens discussed among themselves.
They started to talk about Fang Yuan's refinement path abilities, they were curious about the extent of power that a refinement path venerable had.
Most of them felt that it would be very difficult for Fang Yuan to refine a rank nine Immortal Gu. After all, many historical records supported this idea.
The remaining Gu Immortals felt that they were too weak to see through and understand Fang Yuan's true limits.
Soon, the Gu Immortals' topic shifted to Heavenly Court gradually under some people's meticulous arrangement.
Heavenly Court approved of He Feng Yang's actions while Star Constellation Immortal Venerable held an ambiguous attitude towards Fang Yuan, many of the immortals looked at this in disdain, they expressed their tone of mockery towards Heavenly Court, but they understood why this was happening.
After all, Fang Yuan's business could not be stopped, there were a lot of profits to gain from it as well!
From this topic, the Gu Immortals shifted towards the issue of Heavenly Court's stoppage of handing out immortal essence stones.
Thus, begrudged discussions and requests to Heavenly Court to distribute immortal essence stones became louder and more common, the mockery, jealousy, and hatred towards Heavenly Court became increasingly aggravated.
Heavenly Court had always been the number one human force in the world, they stood proudly at the top of the Gu Immortal world of the five regions and two heavens.
This time, they stopped distributing immortal essence stones. It went against their usual behavior of being the leader of the Gu Immortal world.
The lack of immortal essence stones caused a lot of trouble to the bulk of the Gu Immortals.
Within treasure yellow heaven, nine out of ten transactions were done through bartering, the remaining one involved the purchasing of immortal essence stones by various super forces at high prices.
Western Desert.
Fang Di Chang also activated his Gu worm to connect to treasure yellow heaven.
"This wave of discontent towards Heavenly Court is very strange, it seems Giant Sun Immortal Venerable and Heaven Refining Demon Venerable are the ones manipulating it from the background." Fang Di Chang's eyes flickered with uncertainty as he sensed the peculiarity.
And this was the truth behind the matter, Fang Yuan and Giant Sun Immortal Venerable did not let go of this opportunity.
Heavenly Court's reputation fell time and again under such discontented discussions.
Fang Di Chang's divine sense came to Fang Yuan's will and spoke in a humble and subservient manner: "Western Desert's Fang Di Chang greets Lord Alliance Leader, alliance leader is truly a master of the pen and the sword, your divine radiance lights up the world, I hope Lord Alliance Leader will live a life of eternal bliss, I hope your lifespan can rival heaven itself..."
Before he finished, Fang Yuan's will waved his hands impatiently, interrupting Fang Di Chang: "Cut the crap, transact now."
Fang Di Chang quickly acknowledged.
Thus, another transaction after the one with He Feng Yang was successfully completed.
Fang Yuan refined a rank seven Immortal Gu and gave it to Fang clan. They paid him one earth vein resource point and several million hairy man slaves.
Fang clan originally wanted to keep a low profile and develop in secret. But after Fang Yuan's Great Love declaration, he exposed his relationship with Fang clan and stunned them completely.
Wan clan gathered the Western Desert's righteous path forces to attack Fang clan but failed, it caused Fang clan to understand their circumstances, they stopped dreaming of a different outcome.
Thus, under Fang Di Chang's suggestion, Western Desert's Fang clan declared that they were joining the Heaven and Earth Great Love Alliance.
"At this point, Fang clan can only cooperate with Fang Yuan and use this chance to strengthen ourselves!" Fang Di Chang sighed internally.
This was a dangerous status to have, but at the same time, they gained immense benefits.
Immortal Gu were too hard to refine!
"With this Immortal Gu replenished, my battle strength can rival ordinary rank seven Gu Immortals now." Fang Di Chang fell into deep contemplation.
He had already gone through the immortal ascension, he was a rank six Gu Immortal now.
The balancing of three qi was the hardest hurdle but Fang Di Chang had ample experience. It could not be that he would fail in his second attempt after succeeding the first.
The other problem with immortal ascension were tribulations.
But with the help of Fang clan's Gu Immortals, most tribulations were of no threat.
Unless they were dream path or painting path.
What made Fang Di Chang feel regret was that his immortal ascension did not have any natural inspiration opportunity.
When a Gu Master ascended, they would have a prime opportunity for natural inspiration to occur. They would be able to ask the world some questions and gain immense benefits.
But this time, Fang Di Chang did not get this opportunity.
This was not because he was undergoing immortal ascension for the second time, instead, the issue was with heaven's will itself.
With the fusion of two heavens, heaven's will had also gotten into chaos and turbulence, it did not have the ability to grant natural inspiration at this time.
"After recuperating for a few days, we will attack Wan clan!" This time, Fang Di Chang's eyes were sharp like an eagle's.

Northern Plains.
Golden light floated in the sky like thin threads, gathering and forming a huge golden aurora that permeated into the ground and spread out widely, the commotion was huge and the aura was vast.
This was Giant Sun Immortal Venerable refining Northern Plains' natural luck path dao marks.
But at this time, the golden light that filled the area dimmed.
A moment later, this core area of Northern Plains returned to its original state.
In the air, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable opened his eyes slowly, he had a handsome face and his mouth, nose, eyes and brows were all thick and straight, but currently, his expression was cold and had a faint trace of helplessness.
The three venerables tried to kill Spectral Soul Demon Venerable but failed because of Fang Yuan's disturbance, afterwards, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable returned to Northern Plains and refined luck path dao marks there instead.
After a period of time, the results were abundant.
Currently, he had already completed a stage of his plans, all the luck path dao marks of Northern Plains' core area were refined by him, his luck path dao marks covered the wisdom path area that Star Constellation Immortal Venerable had refined earlier, allowing him to cancel out some of Star Constellation Immortal Venerable's advantage in this place.
However, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable could do nothing against the wisdom path dao marks that Star Constellation Immortal Venerable had already refined. But in the future, if they fought here, although Star Constellation Immortal Venerable would get a dao mark amplification, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable would also receive the same bonus, he would not lose his territorial advantage.
"But I don't have much immortal essence left." Giant Sun Immortal Venerable sighed to himself.
The refinement of natural dao marks expended a lot of rank nine immortal essence.
Initially, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable was only refining the luck path dao marks of the vicinity around him. It was like he was building a ball-shaped spider web, from an initial dot, it grew into a small ball, and finally a large ball.
The larger the ball expanded, the more dao marks he would encounter. To refine these luck path dao marks, he would expend an increasingly terrifying amount of immortal essence.
Currently, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable only had around a hundred yellow apricot immortal essence beads left. This forced him to stop here, his immortal essence reserves were reaching a critical level, he had to leave some for emergencies.
Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's rank nine immortal aperture could produce yellow apricot immortal essence, this was his only source of immortal essence production.
Longevity Heaven could not produce any.
Even though Longevity Heaven did not annex any nine heavens fragments and was not corroded by heaven's will, after Giant Sun Immortal Venerable died in his era, it stopped producing immortal essence.
Right now, even though Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had revived, the venerable aperture that he had was the current one, it had not passed one chaotic disaster yet.
Furthermore, this second aperture had also just started developing, it was not flourishing and did not produce a large amount of immortal essence.
That was unless Giant Sun Immortal Venerable annexed Longevity Heaven, but if he did that, he would gain a huge number of luck path dao marks, it would destroy his plan of cultivating blood path.
"I need to raise blood path to a certain level first before I can regain my previous life's foundation. This development will be costly, but I must endure it. Blood path will be of utmost importance when I face the other venerables in the future."
"Thankfully, even though I am low on immortal essence, the other two are in an even worse state." Giant Sun Immortal Venerable smiled to himself.
All along, he had been thinking that immortal essence was his advantage.
Even though he could not refine more luck path dao marks, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable did not slack off, he waited for his immortal essence to replenish while comprehending blood path.
Blood Sea Ancestor was actually Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's clone.
Blood Sea Ancestor created blood path and left behind countless blood path inheritances after he died. Most were mortal level and contained mortal killer moves and mortal Gu, but he had nine true inheritances of Gu Immortal level, that was the peak of blood path when he died.
These nine were blood skull Gu, blood handprint Gu, blood qi Gu, blood sweat Gu, menses blood Gu, blood shadow Gu, blood battle Gu, blood deity Gu, as well as the method to raise and enslave the ancient desolate beast violent blood dragon bat.
It was a pity that Blood Sea Ancestor was targeted by Heavenly Court in his life, even after his death, many inheritances were ruined by them.
Thankfully, Blood Sea left behind countless mortal inheritances, most of the nine true inheritances also displayed their worth.
The one who obtained the most true inheritances was Southern Border's Gu Immortal Shang Yan Fei.
In his younger days, he found blood handprint Immortal Gu in Southern Border's blood tide pit, he later obtained blood shadow Gu's true inheritance.
Northern Plains' menses blood Immortal Gu was obtained by Dong Fang Chang Fan.
Western Desert's blood qi Immortal Gu true inheritance was obtained by Demon Immortal Qi Jue.
As for the true inheritance regarding the ancient desolate beast violent blood dragon bat, it was obtained by Shadow Sect's Song Zi Xing.
Central Continent's blood deity Immortal Gu true inheritance was fought over by the ten great ancient sects, they destroyed over half of it and the incomplete Blood Deity Immortal Gu recipe ended up in the hands of Myriad Dragon Dock.
As for the remaining three true inheritances, because of the changing terrain, a volcano erupted and destroyed blood skull Immortal Gu's true inheritance. Blood sweat Gu was taken mysteriously and had never been shown in public, it was possible that the person who took it met with an accident. Blood battle Gu's true inheritance was by chance destroyed by an immemorial desolate beast.
After Giant Sun Immortal Venerable revived, he took all of the blood path research results that the Northern Plains Huang Jin tribes had, as well as Longevity Heaven's research gains.
Next, he instructed Earth Extremity Gan Ni to refine Immortal Gu, the result was that they obtained several blood path Immortal Gu.
Among them, there was blood battle Immortal Gu.
As for the other seven Immortal Gu, other than Blood Deity, the rest had been tested, it was confirmed that all of them were already existing in the world.
Without an alternative, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had to temporarily turn imitation Gu into blood relation Gu and barely created a blood path formation that helped him to revive during the battle in Crazed Demon Cave.
"I have already digested the Primordial Domain regarding blood path, my current blood path attainment level has also reached supreme grandmaster! But..."
There were too few blood path Immortal Gu!
Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had first absorbed the Primordial Domain in Crazed Demon Cave to become a supreme grandmaster in luck path, afterwards, he focused on blood path.
He obtained a lot of the Primordial Domain but did not have time to digest them earlier, now, he had already used up all of the Primordial Domain regarding blood path.
In terms of attainment level, he was the number one person in the world regarding blood path, but currently, he was in an awkward state of lacking relevant Immortal Gu.
He needed a large quantity of crucial blood path Immortal Gu!
Among them, the ones that Giant Sun Immortal Venerable wanted the most were Blood Asset, Blood Skull, Bloodline, Blood Relation, and others.
But in fact, these Immortal Gu were already owned.
Gan Ni had been refining all sorts of blood path Immortal Gu for Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, blood rope Immortal Gu was one of the products.
But these Immortal Gu were too low ranked, they did not suit Giant Sun Immortal Venerable.
These blood path Immortal Gu needed to be rank eight at least!
This job was too difficult for Gan Ni to complete.
Gan Ni cultivated earth path and refinement path, she was not a pure refinement path Gu Immortal. Even if she was, the success rate of refining rank eight Immortal Gu was just too low.
"If Long Hair Ancestor were still around, it would be much simpler." Giant Sun Immortal Venerable started to miss Long Hair Ancestor.
Back then, he had asked Long Hair Ancestor to refine all those luck Immortal Gu, he managed to create Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
"Fang Yuan took the initiative to refine so many blood path Immortal Gu, regardless of this situation, or whether I need to advance my other blood path Immortal Gu, I will need to transact with him!" Giant Sun Immortal Venerable found that he could not avoid Fang Yuan.
Recently, He Feng Yang publicly transacted with Fang Yuan, this showed Giant Sun Immortal Venerable that Heavenly Court had an ambiguous attitude towards him.
Since Heavenly Court was attempting this, if Giant Sun Immortal Venerable did not follow, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable and Fang Yuan would leave him in the dust.
"I'll let Heavenly Lord Bai Zu handle this and buy blood path Immortal Gu from Fang Yuan! Hmph, isn't he quite close to Fang Yuan..." Giant Sun Immortal Venerable made a decision.
Next, he started to deduce more blood path Immortal Gu recipes and killer moves.
Blood path supreme grandmaster attainment level was his greatest assurance.
Of course, there was another aspect, he was using his methods to look for the blood path research results of the various super forces, and also the blood path inheritances left behind by other geniuses.
After all, deducing Immortal Gu recipes and killer moves took time and effort, if he could use established inheritances as reference, he would save a lot of time and energy.
Heavenly Court.
Two days ago, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable had already stopped refining Heavenly Court's wisdom path dao marks.
It was not that she was unwilling to, but her situation was the same as Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, their immortal essence reserves were reaching critical levels, they had no choice but to stop.
But Star Constellation Immortal Venerable's situation was different from Giant Sun Immortal Venerable.
In her previous life, her venerable aperture was contributed to Heavenly Court, and because Heavenly Court had devoured many immemorial nine heavens fragments, it was corroded by heaven's will and her own wisdom path dao marks were turned back into natural dao marks.
Thus, she could not retrieve her previous venerable aperture like Giant Sun Immortal Venerable to raise her own dao marks to a colossal scale.
But she had her own advantage.
Heavenly Court contained a huge number of wisdom path dao marks, far beyond what she had in her previous life.
Because Heavenly Court had existed for three million years, during which countless rank eight Gu Immortals had appeared, their immortal apertures were also fused into Heavenly Court.
If she fully refined all the wisdom path dao marks in Heavenly Court, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable would receive amplification that was far beyond Giant Sun Immortal Venerable inside Longevity Heaven!
These last two days, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable had been deducing killer moves, she wanted to use star eyes Immortal Gu and others to modify her own combat system.
Similar to Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, she had absorbed a lot of the Primordial Domain, her star path became supreme grandmaster again, and together with her wisdom path cultivation, she was much more adept than Giant Sun Immortal Venerable in modifying killer moves!
When refining natural dao marks, the immortal essence expenditure was huge. but when deducing killer moves, for the case of Star Constellation Immortal Venerable, the immortal essence expenditure was of an acceptable level.
Relying on her current venerable aperture, the production of immortal essence was greater than the amount she expended.
"But the most important thing is to refine all of Heavenly Court's wisdom path dao marks."
If she completed that, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable would be able to use a killer move to conceal Heavenly Court's information, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable would not be able to use Longevity Heaven's luck path dao marks to forcefully inspect it.
Things were difficult to do openly, but easy to do secretly. Star Constellation Immortal Venerable knew this clearly.
"After I block Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's investigative method, I will break the truthful floating ice and retrieve derivation Gu, it will be helpful in our human path development!"
"In terms of immortal essence, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable should have an advantage, in terms of Gu refinement, Fang Yuan has the advantage. But I have rank nine derivation Immortal Gu, if I can use it well, I can surpass the two venerables."
Star Constellation Immortal Venerable calculated internally.
In the contest of three venerables, although they were not physically fighting, their contest had taken a different form.
Refining dao marks, immortal essence reserves, rank nine Immortal Gu, all these various aspects were crucial points that the venerables competed in.
Undeniably, whoever had the advantage in these aspects would have a higher chance of winning in the end!
-x-X-x-
Eastern Sea.
"This is about enough, I should stop now." Fang Yuan willed as he stopped refining dao marks.
The sovereign immortal aperture had a hundred beads of yellow apricot immortal essence stored.
But Fang Yuan did not stop refining natural dao marks because of issues with his immortal essence reserves.
The truth was, he refined Eastern Sea's refinement path dao marks openly, while secretly unsealing the truthful floating ice in his aperture!
Most of his yellow apricot immortal essence beads were used to unseal the truthful floating ice, only a small portion were used to refine Eastern Sea's refinement path dao marks.
Because of his action, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable and Giant Sun Immortal Venerable stayed in their territories, they did not come to attack Fang Yuan.
"Oh? Giant Sun Immortal Venerable stopped refining natural dao marks." Fang Yuan's eyes shone with luster.
This information could not be hidden, because the three venerables paid a lot of attention to each other, Fang Yuan soon caught wind of this.
"Giant Sun Immortal Venerable should not have much immortal essence left, although Star Constellation Immortal Venerable is holed up inside Heavenly Court, her situation should be similar."
Fang Yuan let out a sigh of relief.
With the two of them having low immortal essence, the chance of them attacking Fang Yuan was very low, their threat towards him also fell by many times.
"Thankfully, I took a risk earlier and refined rank nine Heavenly Essence Treasure Imperial Lotus, otherwise, I'd be in a tough predicament now."
In the contest of three venerables, if one side lagged behind, they would not be able to catch up easily.
After all, the three venerables were all elites of elites.
"Currently, in terms of immortal essence reserves, I am already on par with the others. But truthfully, I have a lot more advantage than the two venerables." Fang Yuan evaluated.
Firstly, Heavenly Essence Treasure Imperial Lotus was simply too incredible and useful!
Next, Fang Yuan's sovereign immortal aperture had time path methods in effect, the rate of time was faster than the two venerables. In contrast, because of conflicting dao marks, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable and Giant Sun Immortal Venerable did not have any time path methods that could be effective on their immortal apertures.
And finally, Fang Yuan's sovereign immortal aperture had far deeper foundation than the two venerables who had just started developing theirs, the yellow apricot immortal essence he produced exceeded theirs.
With all three elements, Fang Yuan's yellow apricot immortal essence production far surpassed the two venerables.
Currently, while Fang Yuan refined the natural dao marks, he showed signs of weakness, he constantly had to stop and wait.
Because of obscured heavenly secret, the two venerables did not know that Fang Yuan possessed rank nine Heavenly Essence Treasure Imperial Lotus.
And because they knew about the sovereign immortal aperture's details, they knew the trait of non-conflicting dao marks, they did not think that Fang Yuan would take a risk to accelerate the time flow.
As for the immortal aperture origin core's production of immortal essence, the two venerables knew that the sovereign immortal aperture had just undergone a chaos tribulation and also got hit by Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's fortune and disaster coexists killer move, thus, they underestimated the sovereign immortal aperture's current foundation.
Especially during this period of time, Fang Yuan refined Gu in treasure yellow heaven and was willing to pay Immortal Gu to purchase all sorts of resource points and establish earth vein and water veins, he did not conceal anything.
In the eyes of the two venerables, such an action of urgently developing his immortal aperture meant that the sovereign immortal aperture had suffered immense losses in Crazed Demon Cave.
Fang Yuan guessed the two venerables' thoughts: "In their eyes, I need to work on raising my immortal essence production, while refining rank nine Immortal Gu is too dangerous, accelerating time flow will also cause tribulations to occur more quickly and expose my weakness. Thus, I can only build more resource points to raise my immortal aperture origin core so that I can produce more yellow apricot immortal essence."
"But if I make a small blunder, the two venerables will immediately be suspicious of me. Especially Star Constellation Immortal Venerable, as the number one person in wisdom path throughout history, it will be extremely difficult to deceive her!"
Fang Yuan was currently treading on thin ice, he knew that maintaining the status-quo was the best form of victory.
He could not afford to make any small mistakes!
If a single small mistake appears, the two venerables would analyze it carefully before quickly taking attempts to probe the truth.
If the truth was exposed, what would happen?
Fang Yuan would definitely be attacked by both venerables together!
Fang Yuan did not know how long he could hide this, after all, he was facing the two of the greatest geniuses throughout human history.
It was possible that he would be exposed at the next moment.
If such a situation happened, Fang Yuan would not be surprised.
No longer distracted by refining the refinement path dao marks, Fang Yuan started to unseal the truthful floating ice with his full strength.
Intuition told him that a huge gain was about to appear.
And sure enough, several days later, his heaven path attainment level rose to quasi-grandmaster.
Even though it did not reach grandmaster, Fang Yuan had a deep foundation, he developed a strong sense of confidence —
"If I deduce with all my effort now, I can definitely create a heaven path killer move that can allow me to take the Primordial Domain!"
Fang Yuan's portion of the Primordial Domain had always been kept in treasure yellow heaven.
Goods in treasure yellow heaven could not be used on the spot.
Thus, Fang Yuan could not sell his own clone and absorb the Primordial Domain there, there was no chance of this happening.
Fang Yuan had to retrieve the portion of the Primordial Domain and absorb them to raise his attainment levels!
"Unsealing the truthful floating ice mainly increases heaven path dao marks, followed by heaven path attainment level, and finally, the attainment level of other paths. This last effect is barely evident, it is only an additional effect of the truthful floating ice and is extremely insignificant."
"Only by using the Primordial Domain can I raise the attainment levels of all my paths to a huge degree!"
"But, right now, is there a need to do it?"
After careful consideration, Fang Yuan shook his head.
Deducing the heaven path killer move was not hard for Fang Yuan, his worry were the two venerables.
Once he took out the Primordial Domain, he would have exposed his heaven path method.
The two venerables would first be alerted, Fang Yuan had the sovereign immortal body, with so many portions of the Primordial Domain, if he digested them, his attainment levels would rise and cause him to become much more threatening.
Afterwards, the two venerables would be suspicious, why would Fang Yuan possess such a heaven path method?
He did not use it in the past, now that he had the heaven path method, it meant that his heaven path cultivation had improved greatly.
That would make them think of the truthful floating ice.
After all, Fang Yuan obtained the most pieces of truthful floating ice among the three venerables!
If Fang Yuan improved in heaven path because he unsealed the truthful floating ice, then where did he get the immortal essence beads needed to do so?
Star Constellation Immortal Venerable and Limitless Demon Venerable had cooperated for a million years to maintain the Crazed Demon formation. She even assimilated with the Dao and created the killer move human executing heaven's work, she definitely knew that unsealing the truthful floating ice required immortal essence.
Once she found out, she would inform Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, and the two would work together and attack Fang Yuan to suppress him.
Like what Fang Yuan considered earlier, a small mistake would cause the two venerables to attack him immediately.
It was too likely!
"I can secretly deduce the heaven path killer move but the collection of the Primordial Domain will need to wait."
Even though the Primordial Domain was very useful to Fang Yuan, it was not the key now. Because it would cause both venerables to attack and cause Fang Yuan to lose his current advantage, the loss was not worth the gain.
"No, the heaven path killer move can wait. After all, once I gain this method, my luck will rise sharply."
"Also, I have rank nine Heavenly Essence Treasure Imperial Lotus now, it has already increased the burden on obscured heavenly secret, its expenditure is rising rapidly."
"What I need to do is to refine a second rank nine Immortal Gu!"
This thought had been lingering in Fang Yuan's mind for a long time.
As for what Immortal Gu he should refine, Fang Yuan already had an answer.
That was Immortal Gu — Advance Refinement!
Not Spring Autumn Cicada, Dog Shit Luck, Attitude, or Dream Token, but advance refinement Gu.
Once advance refinement Gu becomes rank nine, it would be extremely useful for Fang Yuan to advance the rest of his rank eight Immortal Gu.
For example, when Fang Yuan refined Heavenly Essence Treasure Imperial Lotus, if he had rank nine advance refinement Gu, the difficulty would be halved at least!
Fang Yuan had two advantages when refining rank nine advance refinement Gu.
The first advantage was that Fang Yuan had rank eight advance refinement Gu already, this Gu came from Lang Ya Sect, it was originally the core of the Long Hair refinement path formation, it was currently the core of Four Elements Square Regret Blood Refinement Pool.
Secondly, advance refinement Gu was a refinement path Immortal Gu. Even though some rule path immortal materials were needed in the process, it was much purer than Heavenly Essence Treasure Imperial Lotus, refinement path immortal materials were the bulk of its components.
Fang Yuan was a refinement path venerable, he could perfectly process refinement path immortal materials, this meant that the success rate would be much higher as well.
Right when Fang Yuan was secretly thinking of refining rank nine advance refinement Gu.
Western Desert.
At the core area of wind falcon desert.
Bam!
With a loud sound, a vast amount of sand flew into the sky.
An Immortal Gu House charged out from underground, it was Fang clan's rank seven Immortal Gu House, Chicken Dog Coop.
This Chicken Dog Coop Immortal Gu House looked like two buildings side by side, the left building was yellow and had a round plaque that had 'chicken' written on it, the right building was red and had the word 'dog' on its plaque.
As its entrance opened, chicken and dog ancient desolate beasts flew out, there were tens of them.
Chicken Dog Coop burst out with profound light, shaking heaven and earth.
The empty desert suddenly had an oasis that appeared out of nowhere.
This oasis had countless pine trees that were tall and sharp, each one was at least three hundred feet tall, and they were widely spaced apart. The trees spread their branches and leaves out, the leaves gathered into balls with an extremely flat surface that resembled a grassland.
On top of the pine leaf grassland, there were huge nests.
Within the nests, there were long-distanced wind falcons, there were all sorts of wind falcons ranging from ordinary beasts, beast kings, desolate beasts, and even ancient desolate beasts.
"This tall pine oasis is incredible, as expected of Wan clan's resource point that is ranked second in Western Desert." Fang Di Chang critiqued from within Chicken Dog Coop.
This was Wan clan's territory, the rank seven Gu Immortal expert of Wan clan that guarded this place was Wan Xiao.
He did not show up, instead, he controlled the immortal formation and defended against the attacks of the ancient desolate beasts, he scolded angrily: "Fang clan, what are you trying to do? As a Western Desert righteous path super force, you are actually attacking another righteous path super force without reason?!"
Within Chicken Dog Coop, Fang Di Chang smiled coldly and replied: "Earlier, Wan clan gathered the Western Desert super forces to attack my Fang clan together, we will settle the score now! Do you really think my Fang clan is a weak target to bully?"
-x-X-x-
At the center of the formation. Wan Xiao's expression was solemn, he felt a huge rock pressing down on his mind.
Fang clan's attack was too sudden, he was completely unguarded!
The truth was, it was not that Wan clan had not made preparations.
Even since they failed in rallying Western Desert righteous path super forces, Wan clan had prepared for Fang clan's retaliation; they sent more manpower to their large peripheral resource points, while also strengthening the defensive formations there.
They even paid a huge price to request Xiao clan to set up a transportation formation, in order to send reinforcements in time.
But who could have thought that the moment Fang clan made a move, they actually bypassed the peripheral resource points, and directly invaded deep into Wan clan's territory, attacking Wan clan's second largest resource point!
"Fang clan planned a long time for this, but how in the world did they come here?" Wan Xiao was puzzled.
Wan clan was already aware of Fang clan's three Immortal Gu Houses – Chicken Dog Coop, Inquiry Dock, and Fallen Flower Hall. None of them could accomplish this.
"Oh no!"
Right at this time, Wan Xiao shockingly sensed that the formation was shaking and the ground was quaking, as if an earth trench was about to form. A large number of pine trees of the tall pine oasis fell.
"This defensive formation's base is buried thousands of feet deep under the ground. Fang clan actually found it so precisely, they are destroying it!"
Wan Xiao quickly inspected and saw an Immortal Gu House wreaking havoc underground, destroying the formation's base.
Immortal formations usually had a formation base, it was like the foundation of a building but much more important. Formation bases were incredibly important to the immortal formations, they were the foundation of the foundation.
If the formation base was destroyed, the formation would become extremely unstable, like a building with ruined foundation. With just a slight disturbance in the base, the formation would reveal a huge flaw and even be destroyed.
Therefore, when Gu Immortals set up immortal formations, they would hide the formation base. Some formation bases were hidden underground, some were hidden in the air, and some were kept in the center of the formation.
This defensive formation in tall pine oasis had existed for a long time, and because of the environmental restrictions, the Gu Immortals who set the formation back then felt that only by burying the formation base deep underground could the formation take care of all aspects. It could defend and also nurture resources.
"But the formation base has been discovered and is being attacked! Fang clan is too insidious, they actually had an earth path Immortal Gu House as well!" Wan Xiao gritted his teeth.
What made him feel an even greater chill was that Fang clan's methods were powerful and well prepared.
"Whose plan was it? Isn't Fang Di Chang trapped inside Divine Emperor City? Could it be that youngster Fang Yun? What should I do?" Wan Xiao was sweating all over.
He had confidence earlier as tall pine oasis' defensive formation was very strong. He had confidence to rely on the formation to hold on until Wan clan's reinforcements arrived.
Fang clan had Immortal Gu Houses, Wan clan naturally had them as well!
When Wan clan's Immortal Gu Houses arrived and coordinated with the defensive formation, it would not be difficult to force back Fang clan.
Once Fang clan were forced back, it would be Wan clan's victory.
Because Fang clan's action already crossed the limits of the Western Desert righteous path, such a defeat would definitely lower their reputation.
Wan clan could take the chance to counterattack, rallying the other forces with a righteous reason. At that time, the reaction of Western Desert's super forces would be different from before.
"But can I hold on until then?" Wan Xiao was solemn.
Wan clan headquarters.
"What? Fang clan attacked our tall pine oasis!" After receiving Wan Xiao's letter, the expression of Wan clan's first supreme elder changed sharply.
Wan Xiao had given a detailed description in the letter. The situation was serious and extremely urgent.
Tall pine oasis was Wan clan's second largest resource point, it was a renowned super resource point in Western Desert and even in the whole five regions, it could not be taken. Once it was destroyed or taken over, the losses would be enormous.
"Fang clan... is really vicious. It is now a critical moment for my Wan clan!"
Wan clan's first supreme elder only had rank seven cultivation and did not have outstanding battle strength, but he possessed an intuitive view of the big picture.
He was deeply aware: Once tall pine oasis fell into the enemy's hands, not only would they lose all the resources inside, Wan clan's reputation and prestige would also suffer a huge impact.
Previously, Wan clan's rally did not succeed. Now, if the resource point were to be destroyed by Fang clan, in the eyes of everyone, Wan clan would become the weakest force in Western Desert's righteous path. They would be an object of ridicule and the representation of the weakest target!
Once this thought emerged, Wan clan would head down the road of decline. Because in the current situation, with the chaotic war imminent, people's hearts were uneasy. If the chaotic war erupted, everyone would feel that Wan clan could be taken advantage of.
This was a frightening situation for Wan clan.
Hence, when Wan clan's first supreme elder received Wan Xiao's request for reinforcements, he immediately acted. He personally moved with Winding Light Platform.
Only a rank six Gu Immortal and a rank seven Immortal Gu House were left to guard the headquarters.
On his way, Wan clan's first supreme elder messaged all the Wan clan Gu Immortals.
The Wan clan immortals were shocked and furious.
"The peripheral territories are peaceful and have no disturbance." After receiving the replies, the brows of Wan clan's first supreme elder furrowed tightly.
After some rapid thinking, he clenched his teeth and sent a command.
Shortly after, Wan Hao Guang received this command.
"Zhui Qing, defend this place. If Fang clan attacks, you must retreat immediately. I need to hurry to wind falcon desert to reinforce Wan Xiao."
Wan Hao Guang immediately moved out.
The relationship between him and Wan Xiao's relationship. Back then, three Wan clan immortals fought Fang Yuan, and Wan Xiao risked his life to save Wan Hao Guang. Now, Wan Hao Guang could similarly go to such an extent.
But Wan Zhui Qing grabbed Wan Hao Guang's hand: "Lord, it is too dangerous for you to go right now! We don't have clear information on what Fang clan's real arrangements are. If their plan of besieging the enemy stronghold is meant to strike at the reinforcements, wouldn't you be jumping right into a trap?"
"I have a suggestion. Currently, Fang clan has entered deep into our Wan clan's territory, if we just defend, we will only receive a beating and fall into Fang clan's scheme. We may as well launch an attack and invade Fang clan's resource points, we should use offense against offense!"
Wan Hao Guang's eyes shone as he sized up Wan Zhui Qing and patted his shoulder: "Good lad, you have improved!"
"But, do you think first supreme elder did not think of this?" Wan Hao Guang shook his head.
"First supreme elder asked experts like us to go and reinforce them because he does not have the confidence to force back Fang clan's forces. Fang clan's first supreme elder Fang Gong is a rank eight expert, while we have not seen him since the start of the battle. He may very likely be inside Chicken Dog Coop."
"According to your plan, even if we invade Fang clan's resource points, once we lose tall pine oasis, our Wan clan will still suffer a huge loss. All those peripheral resource points of Fang clan combined cannot compare to our tall pine oasis."
Wan Zhui Qing turned pale as he deeply realized the cruelty of reality.
Even if they were not clear of Fang clan's true arrangements, Wan Hao Guang had to go reinforce them, even if he had to risk his life. Simply because they could not afford to lose tall pine oasis.
Boom!
The formation base was destroyed, a huge flaw formed in the immortal formation from which Chicken Dog Coop charged in.
Wan Xiao was furious but could only maintain the damaged formation while clenching his teeth.
With their home being invaded, wind falcons were provoked. They screeched as they attacked Chicken Dog Coop, going against the chickens and dogs sent by Fang clan.
A fierce fight between the beasts erupted as blood splashed everywhere.
Chickens cawed, dogs barked, and falcons screeched. They formed a medley that resounded in the battlefield.
An immemorial wind falcon clawed open the roof of Chicken Dog Coop.
The Fang clan Gu Immortals inside were already prepared, they repaired it in orderly and calm fashion.
Fang Di Chang laughed loudly: "What an impressive immemorial desolate beast, get in here!"
At the next moment, Chicken Dog Coop let out a beam of light. The beam enveloped the immemorial wind falcon and dragged it inside.
The immemorial wind falcon struggled with all its strength, but its body kept on shrinking and its resistance grew weaker and weaker, until it was finally absorbed by Chicken Dog Coop.
"What? This Immortal Gu House can suppress the immemorial wind falcon?" Wan Xiao's heart shook.
Chicken Dog Coop was an enslavement path Immortal Gu House that could only enslave chickens and dogs, but who could have expected that it gained a new ability now.
"Enough is enough! Fang clan, you will pay for this one day! I, Wan Xiao, swear upon it." Wan Xiao roared in his head as he stared at the wind falcons that were being suppressed by Chicken Dog Coop.
Fortunately, this situation did not continue for long, Wan clan's first supreme elder appeared in the horizon with Wan clan's Immortal Gu House.
Wan Xiao immediately relaxed.
"Winding Light Platform." Fang Di Chang muttered as he saw this.
This Winding Light Platform was a rank seven light path Immortal Gu House. It was greyish white with eight sides and eight corners. On the tall platform, Wan clan's first supreme elder was standing straight, his face furious as he fixed his gaze on Chicken Dog Coop.
Both sides were still a few kilometers apart when Winding Light Platform suddenly shot out four beams of light.
The beams actually bent in the air, they nimbly attacked Chicken Dog Coop from different directions.
Under Fang Di Chang's control, Chicken Dog Coop activated defensive killer moves and blocked all four beams.
In this short while, Winding Light Platform had arrived before Chicken Dog Coop.
Boom.
With a loud explosive sound, Wan clan's first supreme elder actually made Winding Light Platform collide with Chicken Dog Coop.
The two Immortal Gu Houses collided before being mutually repelled, a large number of mortal Gu broke into pieces and scattered in the air.
"Hehehe, Wan clan's first supreme elder, you have such a fiery temper." Fang Di Chang's voice resounded in the battlefield.
Wan clan's first supreme elder and Wan Xiao's expressions changed: "Fang Di Chang? Weren't you trapped in Emperor City, no, inside Divine Emperor City?!"
Fang Di Chang's eyelids twitched as his voice turned heavy: "That is not the important point. Wan clan, I am representing Fang clan to teach you a lesson. Don't think that any random force can find trouble with my Fang clan."
"You speak with no shame!" Wan clan's first supreme elder shouted furiously. Immediately after, Winding Light Platform activated its killer move again.
Tens of beams of light swept the battlefield, Chicken Dog Coop was forced back time and again, its ancient desolate beasts suffered serious casualties. Even the earth path Immortal Gu House that was deep underground also got struck by the light, it was almost destroyed.
"Fang clan moved underground and invaded deep into our territory, it is very likely because of the ability of this earth path Immortal Gu House. But this Immortal Gu House seems fragile, or at least, its defensive aspect is not good enough." Wan clan's first supreme elder immediately cheered up.
-x-X-x-
Wan clan's first supreme elder traveled in Winding Light Platform and arrived just in time. After fighting one round with Chicken Dog Coop, he immediately discovered the weakness of Fang clan's earth path Immortal Gu House.
When he discovered this, Wan clan's first supreme elder did not hesitate to activate Winding Light Platform to shoot out beams of light at the underground earth path Immortal Gu House.
The earth path Immortal Gu House quickly drilled deeper, evading with extreme nimbleness.
Although its defense was nothing to boast about, its speed was astonishing, it dodged all the beams.
Some beams brushed past it, making for an extremely dangerous situation.
Wan clan's first supreme elder smiled: "Let me show you my Wan clan Immortal Gu House's ability!"
Saying so, he activated Winding Light Platform's signature method.
Immediately, those straight pure-white beams of light underground started to bend and change their direction, attacking the earth path Immortal Gu House again.
A large number of beams formed a web that shrouded the earth path Immortal Gu House from all sides.
The earth path Immortal Gu House could only struggle fiercely, and after ten or so breaths of time, it charged out of the ground.
"I was waiting for you." The eyes of Wan clan's first supreme elder shone sharply, "I shall destroy this Immortal Gu House as the payment for invading my Wan clan!"
"Stop dreaming." Fang Di Chang called out as he controlled Chicken Dog Coop to collide with Winding Light Platform.
Wan clan's first supreme elder gave a shout, Winding Light Platform shot out beams once again. The beams of light coiled around Winding Light Platform, connecting with each other as they formed a powerful defensive ring.
Chicken Dog Coop collided onto the surface, but its strength was redirected by the winding beams, causing it to brush past Winding Light Platform.
Immediately after, Winding Light Platform shot a ray of yellow light.
The yellow light covered Fang clan's earth path Immortal Gu House, holding it down on the spot.
Wan clan's first supreme elder poured in his immortal essence in a frenzy, the yellow light started to coil like a fried dough twist[1].
Under the constriction of the yellow beam of light, Fang clan's earth path Immortal Gu House started cracking, a large number of mortal Gu were crushed to pieces.
This move was Winding Light Platform's strongest method. In just a short ten breaths of time, Fang clan's earth path Immortal Gu House would be completely destroyed, even the Gu Immortals inside could not escape alive!
Wan Zhui Qing flew rapidly in the sky.
His expression was extremely cold, but his heart was like a bright burning flame.
This was the fire of vengeance!
Wan Zhui Qing's father was Wan Liang Han.
The latter was a rank seven wisdom path Gu Immortal. He had fought Fang Yuan with Wan Hao Guang and Wan Xiao, resulting in his death in the battle.
Back then, Fang Yuan hid in Fang clan, so in Wan Zhui Qing's heart, it was the same as Fang clan killing his father.
The hatred of his father's murder was irreconcilable!
Since the moment he learned of father's death, Wan Zhui Qing's life experienced a complete change.
Previously, he was a second generation immortal, with his father's support, he could be arrogant and complacent.
After the fall of his father who sheltered him from the cruelty of the outside world, Wan Zhui Qing matured quickly amidst the grief and fear.
He realized that his comfortable life was the result of many people giving face to his father. He realized how fortunate he had been, and also realized his only hope now was to work hard.
So, when Wan clan's rally did not bear fruit and they deployed immortals to defend their peripheral territories, although Wan Zhui Qing was only at rank six, he disregarded the risk and requested to be sent to a peripheral territory to defend the resource point.
He knew that he had to display his value to the clan. If the value was not high, then he had to show his loyalty!
He did not have any fortuitous encounters, so he could only rely on the clan.
And the clan was not his father.
Every time Wan Zhui Qing remembered how blessed he had lived when his father was alive, his hatred towards Fang clan deepened.
"Wan Hao Guang made me guard the resource point, but what can I, a mere rank six Gu Immortal, do, even with the support of the immortal formation? Wan Hao Guang is the main reliance to stall the enemies until reinforcements arrive. If Fang clan's true motive is to attack the peripheral resource points, I will definitely not be able to defend mine."
"Since that is the case, I may as well risk it and attack Fang clan's resource points. I will do what Wan Hao Guang cannot do!"
Wan Zhui Qing decided to risk it.
If he stayed to defend the resource point, and Fang clan attacked strongly, he would at most be able to hold on for a while before he would need to retreat through the teleportation formation.
Returning to the clan with such a result of losing the clan's resource point would be a small stain on his records at the very least.
But if he attacked Fang clan's resource point and made some gains, it would no doubt be a huge merit. Especially under the situation when tall pine oasis was attacked and the casualties were high.
In this situation, as long as Wan Zhui Qing succeeded, it would be like helping Wan clan restore their prestige.
"At such a time, one merit or contribution will be counted as ten! The clan will also look at me differently."
"With the clan's rewards and increased support, I can progress rapidly, otherwise, with my current growth speed, it will take forever before I can exact revenge for my father!"
After Wan Liang Han died, his Gu worms were not left behind for Wan Zhui Qing.
It was not easy for Wan Zhui Qing to cultivate, and he could only fight for opportunities by himself.
"I am here. The most peripheral resource point of Fang clan!" Wan Zhui Qing slowed down, he restrained his aura and approached quietly.
"Fang clan, regarding the hatred of killing my father, I am going to take a bit of revenge now!"
However, after a while, Wan Zhui Qing was stupefied.
He was standing dazedly on the spot, facing the desolate desert.
"Wasn't this the location of flying sand tunnel? Wait a second, there are clear signs of relocation. Fang clan moved this resource point away?"
Wan Zhui Qing was puzzled.
Was it necessary to do that?
Just to prevent an improbable counterattack of Wan clan, they relocated the resource point?
The loss in doing that was not small.
When resource points were relocated, their productivity would fall. Because the resource point was already in sync with the surrounding environment.
Relocating a resource point was like moving trees, the roots would leave the land and lose the nutrients, even if they were transplanted to a better land, they would need to adapt for some time.
But how many areas were truly suitable for the resource point?
Even if it was an area with denser earth path dao marks, the difference in the arrangement of the dao marks could result in the destruction of the resource point.
Super forces rarely relocated their resource points.
As far as enemies were concerned, relocating a resource point was like the front-line fortress being removed, it reduced the obstructions, and they could easily invade deeper.
"No, something is wrong!"
"Super forces don't easily relocate their resource points, but it is different now."
"Heaven Refining Demon Venerable has been madly developing his sovereign immortal aperture, the Gu refinement price list in treasure yellow heaven mostly asks for earth path resource points too."
"Fang clan could have secretly transacted with Fang Yuan using these resource points as the payment."
"Then, how many Immortal Gu did they exchange for?"
A shocking thought flashed by Wan Zhui Qing's mind, turning his face pale as paper.
"Fang clan has secretly traded with Fang Yuan, their strength has increased greatly. Our information on Fang clan is way off, oh no, tall pine oasis is in danger!"
When he realized this, Wan Zhui Qing immediately sent a message to Wan clan's first supreme elder through treasure yellow heaven.
But at this time, Wan clan's first supreme elder was controlling Winding Light Platform and making the final attacks on Fang clan's earth path Immortal Gu House, how could he spare any time to look at Wan Zhui Qing's message?
"Break!" Wan clan's first supreme elder shouted.
"Hmph, wishful thinking." Right at this time, a figure suddenly appeared above Wan clan's first supreme elder.
Rank eight aura surged like a tide, it was Fang clan's first supreme elder, rank eight Fang Gong!
Wan clan's first supreme elder, however, did not even take a glance at Fang Gong. His sight was fixed on the earth path Immortal Gu House, he wanted to destroy this Immortal Gu House to make Fang clan suffer a heavy loss!
As for his safety, Wan clan's first supreme elder was confident in the protection of Winding Light Platform.
However, all this was within Fang clan's plan.
Immortal killer move — Roof Tile Breaker!
Fang Gong activated a killer move and slammed down with his palms.
Ripples spread around Winding Light Platform as it blocked Fang Gong's attack.
Bam bam bam...
Fang Gong slammed down without stopping. Palm shadows flew in the air as attacks rained down on Winding Light Platform.
Rank seven Winding Light Platform possessed rank eight battle strength, blocking all of Fang Gong's attacks.
But the expression of Wan clan's first supreme elder changed abruptly.
He made a horrifying discovery: Every attack of Fang Gong's possessed a strange power, although it could not destroy Winding Light Platform's defensive methods, the power infiltrated the inside and caused severe damage to Winding Light Platform's Gu worms!
Almost in an instant, Winding Light Platform was damaged to a great extent, the yellow beams of light that had been restricting Fang clan's earth path Immortal Gu House lost their source of power and dispersed completely.
Wan clan's first supreme elder almost spat blood from anger after seeing this.
"Fang clan, you have gone too far!" Wan clan's first supreme elder immediately controlled Winding Light Platform to retreat.
He realized Fang clan was targeting him, more accurately, they were targeting Wan clan's Immortal Gu House.
Compared to tall pine oasis, Winding Light Platform was Fang clan's true objective.
Wan clan's first supreme elder used all his strength to retreat.
But since Fang clan saw their real objective, why would they let it go so easily?
Under a normal situation, other Gu Immortals might not be able to block an Immortal Gu House's charge and could only evade. But Fang Gong was an exception.
Fang Gong held down Winding Light Platform while Chicken Dog Coop also attacked.
After enduring for a while, Winding Light Platform crumbled apart loudly. Wan clan's first supreme elder's mind was filled with anger as he attacked Fang Gong.
Fang Gong's expression was indifferent: "Wan clan's first supreme elder, remember this moment. Our Fang clan is not to be trifled with, this Winding Light Platform is the price for going against us."
Fang Gong punched lightly towards Wan clan's first supreme elder while maintaining his momentum.
Wan clan's first supreme elder only had rank seven cultivation, he simply could not catch Fang Gong's attention.
But at the next moment, Wan clan's first supreme elder's expression suddenly stiffened. His killer move's activation failed, causing him to get hit by an intense backlash, he was also struck by Fang Gong's punch, he immediately turned into meat pulp, losing his life!
Everyone was stumped, including Fang Gong and Fang Di Chang.
"First supreme elder!!" Wan Xiao cried mournfully, he rode a wind falcon and took the chance to escape tall pine oasis.
His movement shook the Fang clan's immortals as they regained their senses.
"What should we do now?" Fang Gong transmitted his voice to Fang Di Chang with an awkward expression.
Fang Di Chang's expression was dark: "How could you kill Wan clan's first supreme elder?"
This was different from their plan.
Fang clan's true target was Wan clan's Immortal Gu House. Wan clan had two Immortal Gu Houses, both were rank seven and could fight rank eight, they were the foundation which Wan clan relied on to be a super force. Their significance was far higher than that of tall pine oasis.
Getting rid of Winding Light Platform would be the greatest victory for Fang clan.
Fang clan's prestige would rise sharply, no super force would dare to rashly unite against them again.
On the contrary, Wan clan would lose one of their rank seven Immortal Gu Houses, from then on, they could only hole up in their territory, unable to cause any more trouble.
But it was different now!
Wan clan's first supreme elder was dead, this was a huge issue.
Wan clan would definitely retaliate with all their strength. They could use this reason to gather Western Desert's righteous path forces and form a punitive expedition against Fang clan.
Because Fang clan had gone way beyond the limits.
Not only did they battle without prior notice, they even killed the other clan's first supreme elder. It was like a neighbor suddenly crashing into someone's home and killing its owner.
This action of Fang clan was completely a demonic path action. Righteous path forces would be frightened, afraid that they would be the next Wan clan.
Thereupon, Western Desert's super forces would definitely unite.
"I already held back in that punch, but Wan clan's first supreme elder was in an agitated state. He seemed to have triggered his killer move's backlash, and by some freak coincidence, lost his life." Fang Gong said with a sigh.
Although they won, Fang Gong was not happy.
Even the other Fang clan Gu Immortals felt a heavy mood, because all of them knew this matter was huge now.
Only one person was different.
Tang Fang Ming was hiding deep underground, excited and fearful.
"Amazing, this dream path killer move is truly amazing. Wan clan's first supreme elder lost his life because of this, but Fang clan is completely unaware."
"I have accomplished Lord Fang Yuan's mission!"
