Countless thoughts surged in Fang Di Chang's mind like tall towers before quickly collapsing. The rising and collapsing of the thoughts for thousands of times caused Fang Di Chang to sweat profusely and his face to flush red.

Evidently, his wisdom path deductions reached his limits.

"This is bad, extremely bad!" Fang Di Chang mumbled with an ugly expression. All the results of the deductions let him see the miserable future of Fang clan.

Previously, Wan clan's rallying failed, thus, Fang clan avoided a calamity, in truth, this was mainly because of the uncertain relationship of Fang clan and Fang Yuan.

Adding on that the five regional walls were gone and with the fusion of the two heavens, Gu Immortals were worried for their own safety and maintained caution.

However, Fang Di Chang was very clear of the true nature of Great Love Immortal Venerable.

If Fang clan were to be besieged by Western Desert's super forces, Fang Yuan would never stand up for them.

Fang Yuan only prioritized real benefits!

Unless Fang clan paid a high price that moved Fang Yuan's heart, he would never help Fang clan.

Like this time, Fang clan first had the intention of attacking Wan clan, before they secretly transacted with Fang Yuan.

Fang clan paid a lot of resource points to advance the rank of the core Immortal Gu of roof tile breaker killer move and exchanged for many Immortal Gu to construct that earth path Immortal Gu House.

If Fang Yuan did not help, Fang clan and Fang Yuan's true relationship would be exposed, then Fang clan would face destruction.

Could Fang clan pay the price for Fang Yuan's help?

Fang Di Chang had no confidence in this.

What made him more worried was that even if Fang clan could pay a high price to request for Fang Yuan's assistance, what if the other super forces tried to imitate them, could Fang clan match their price?

"No matter what Fang clan chooses, Fang Yuan will be the biggest winner!" Fang Di Chang gritted his teeth as he thought.

Fang Yuan destroyed his body and captured his soul, Fang Di Chang could not forget this hatred.

"What should we do? This first supreme elder is really the shame of Wan clan, he actually fought so carelessly. Maybe, we can revive him?" Fang Gong suggested with a frown.

Fang Di Chang shook his head.

He had already thought of this, but they could not do it.

Not to mention that Fang clan did not have a method to revive Gu Immortals, they might need to request help from others to revive Wan clan's first supreme elder.

Even if they succeeded in reviving Wan clan's first supreme elder, would this grudge be gone?

It was similar to how Fang Di Chang was killed by Fang Yuan and his soul captured, but was released later on. Was the hatred between him and Fang Yuan gone?

How could that be possible!

This grudge deepened, on the contrary.

It could be said that the enmity between Fang clan and Wan clan was already impossible to resolve, Wan clan was definitely going to retaliate with their full strength.

Under this situation, were Fang clan to revive Wan clan's first supreme elder, it would be like reviving their enemy who would give them more trouble in the future.

It was too stupid.

Naturally, Gu Immortals had endless methods. There were many ways to resolve the hatred.

For instance, the publicly known Spring Autumn Cicada. As long as the rebirth succeeded, everything could start anew.

There were also wisdom path methods to change the feelings of Wan clan's immortals.

But these methods would need to be of an extremely high rank to be effective on all the Wan clan immortals, and Fang clan did not have them.

"Huff!" Fang Di Chang sighed, sharp light flashed past his eyes as he said heavily, "We can only continue to go forward now. We will go attack Wan clan's headquarters and deal a huge blow to them!"

Fang Gong narrowed his eyes, while the other Fang clan Gu Immortals felt a chill in their hearts.

This matter had already become big, Fang clan would no doubt face huge trouble.

Since that was the case, there was no need to hesitate, they might as well disregard the consequences and weaken Wan clan as much as possible.

"Alright!" Fang Gong made the decision.

Fang clan immediately collected Chicken Dog Coop and got inside the earth path Immortal Gu House, moving towards Wan clan's headquarters through the underground.

However, when they reached Wan clan's headquarters, there was no one there.

Wan clan's Gu Immortals had evacuated long ago, their remaining Immortal Gu House Myriad Age Building, as well as all the resources in the headquarters and treasuries were also completely gone.

Fang clan's immortals were livid.

This was the worst situation for Fang clan!

After a while of silence, Fang Di Chang suggested: "First supreme elder, at this point, I can only ask you to move with Chicken Dog Coop and clean out Wan clan's resource points. I will lead the others to go back to our headquarters and prepare for war!"

Fang Gong nodded: "I guess we have no choice."

Fang Di Chang's expression was extremely solemn: "For Fang clan to get past this trial, we must rely on Fang Yuan. The more resource points you can loot, the more Immortal Gu we can exchange from Fang Yuan and have greater hope."

"I understand!" Fang Gong chose two people to go with him inside Chicken Dog Coop, they disappeared in the horizon.

Fang Di Chang led the remaining Fang clan immortals back to Fang clan's headquarters in the earth path Immortal Gu House.

A storm was coming, everyone in Fang clan was tense, they were like tigers who sensed threats to their lives, hairs stood on ends and their eyes opened wide, as they prepared to oppose the retaliation of a group of savage beasts!

Eastern Sea.

A sea breeze was blowing, and birds were chirping.

Fang Yuan was calmly undergoing a Gu refinement attempt.

Inside sovereign immortal aperture, the refinement of rank nine Advance Refinement had reached the mid-late stage.

It was too easy!

This was Fang Yuan's biggest impression, even though this was the refinement of a rank nine Immortal Gu.

It was completely different from the previous time.

This time, Fang Yuan was not under the external pressure brought by Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable, and Spectral Soul Demon Venerable. He also did not need to guard the heavenly spirit.

Another crucial point was Heavenly Essence Treasure Imperial Lotus was a wood path Immortal Gu, but advance refinement Gu was a refinement path Immortal Gu. The latter came under Fang Yuan's specialty.

It was much easier for him to process refinement path immortal materials than to handle wood path immortal materials.

Fang Yuan was even dealing with other matters while refining the rank nine Immortal Gu.

Fang clan's message arrived quickly, and it contained a list.

The contents of the list were over ten resource points! It did not lack large resource points, and there was even a super resource point.

Over these days, Fang Gong displayed the strength of a rank eight Gu Immortal.

Fang Di Chang managed the overall situation, and even dispatched Inquiry Dock. Fang clan combed through Wan clan's territories, occupying many of the resource points.

"Looks like Fang clan gained a lot. Sure enough, every person has potential. How can it appear if they are not pressured?"

Fang Yuan smiled lightly.

After Fang clan entered the Heaven and Earth Great Love Alliance, they made secret transactions.

By seeing the several Immortal Gu that Fang clan exchanged for, Fang Yuan could deduce Fang clan's plan.

It was also reasonable for Fang clan to retaliate against Wan clan for self preservation.

Since Tang clan's name was intentionally concealed by Fang Yuan, it was rather special for Fang Yuan to only be connected to Fang clan among all the Western Desert super forces.

Previously, Wan clan gathered Western Desert's righteous path forces to attack Fang clan, this had already deeply provoked Fang clan.

Wan clan's rally failed, Fang clan let out a breath of relief before deciding to take the chance to attack Wan clan. This was a sensible move of using offense as defense!

Fang Yuan immediately developed a plan when he noticed this. He manipulated the scene from behind, helping Fang clan with the Immortal Gu and raising their strength, while also sending a command to Tang clan, imparting a dream path killer move to Tang Fang Ming and also lending a dream path Immortal Gu.

Currently, Fang clan had already stepped into Fang Yuan's trap, becoming the source of disturbance in Western Desert.

For self-preservation, they must cooperate with Fang Yuan even more deeply, seizing resource points for Fang Yuan.

On the other hand, Tang clan schemed against Fang clan, this was the same as Fang Yuan gaining a huge hold over them. Fang Yuan's influence over Tang clan deepened much more.

In the letter, Fang clan asked for a lot of Immortal Gu, and also requested Fang Yuan to personally go to Western Desert and display the invincibility of Great Love Immortal Venerable if necessary! For this, Fang clan agreed to pay everything.

"They want me to make a move?" Fang Yuan sneered.

How could it be possible?

In the current situation of the contest of three venerables, Fang Yuan had to make the most of every moment. It was impossible for him to make a move for Fang clan.

He was using Fang clan, using them as a chess piece.

A chess piece was a chess piece, it should be sacrificed when necessary.

Unless the value of the chess piece was extremely high and could not be replaced, Fang Yuan would not go defend it personally.

Who among Fang Yuan's subordinates could not be replaced?

No one!

Fang Yuan could even abandon his own clones without hesitation when necessary. Why would he make a move for Fang clan?

Heavenly Court.

Star Constellation Immortal Venerable had just started refining Heavenly Court's wisdom path dao marks when an important message arrived.

"There is a change in Western Desert, Fang clan invaded Wan clan?" Star Constellation Immortal Venerable's eyes flickered with starlights.

"There is something fishy about Fang clan being so radical. Did Fang Yuan secretly fuel the situation?" Star Constellation Immortal Venerable quickly thought of this detail, after all, the whole five regions knew about Fang clan openly joining the Heaven and Earth Great Love Alliance.

"Fang clan's strength rose sharply, Fang Yuan clearly supported them from behind. Wan clan was caught unprepared, and Wan clan's first supreme elder died in battle. Looks like Fang Yuan is intentionally causing unrest in Western Desert."

"Fang clan is actually willing to be ordered like this by Fang Yuan, making a move that puts the clan's survival in risk. It seems Fang Yuan's influence over Fang clan is much deeper than I thought!"

"This is not good."

Star Constellation Immortal Venerable frowned slightly.

She quickly sensed Fang Yuan's true motive.

"Fang Yuan does not care about Fang clan, even though he needs the resource points to develop the sovereign immortal aperture, his main target is to set an example of Fang clan to influence the Gu Immortal world of the whole five regions and two heavens!"

Fang Yuan was a refinement path venerable, it was extremely easy for him to refine Immortal Gu.

With his investment, any super force's strength would soar rapidly. It was the so-called 'with a sharp weapon in hand, killing intent rises'; Fang Yuan's simple transaction could break the power balance that had existed for a long time in the five regions' Gu Immortal world.

At present, Western Desert super forces already understood the benefits of transacting with Fang Yuan.

On one hand, Fang Yuan was openly transacting Immortal Gu in treasure yellow heaven, and the price was affordable to the super forces. On the other hand, he created the Heaven and Earth Great Love Alliance, allowing any super force to join the alliance. Moreover, once they joined the alliance, they could transact secretly and obtain a lot of benefits.

Fang clan joined the alliance, so they could transact secretly and raise their strength. Now, Wan clan Gu Immortals did not even dare to show up, they could only let Fang clan loot almost all of their resource points.

This trend was truly dangerous!

The gains of Fang clan moved people, while the miserable state of Wan clan deterred them.

What could super forces do in this situation?

The simplest choice was to join the Heaven and Earth Great Love Alliance!

-x-X-x-

All along, Fang Yuan's foreign policy had been extremely flexible.

For instance, the content of the contribution board, mission board, and exchange board were different when comparing the Heaven and Earth Great Love Alliance and the sovereign immortal aperture.

Similarly, the Eastern Sea Gu Immortals had to accept strict alliance agreements when they joined the Heaven and Earth Great Love Alliance, but when the Gu Immortals of other four regions joined, their alliance agreements were extremely relaxed with almost no bindings.

Such details were enough for Star Constellation Immortal Venerable to learn of Fang Yuan's sinister and vicious mind!

She had a clear judgment of Western Desert's situation.

"Fang clan must be suppressed, they cannot be allowed to rise in power. If need be, they must be eradicated."

"Otherwise, once other super forces start to imitate them, it will greatly increase Fang Yuan's influence over the five regions!"

Fang Yuan relied on Immortal Gu transactions and other supporting methods to easily stir the situation of the five regions' Gu Immortal world.

As the saying went, 'humans die for wealth and birds die for food'.

If this situation was allowed to develop to become a common sentiment, then Fang Yuan's influence would cover the five regions in the future. Even if not all the five regions were affected, it would at least influence three regions.

At that time, with just a thought, Fang Yuan could control the Gu Immortal world of Southern Border, Western Desert, and Eastern Sea to besiege Central Continent!

Naturally, no matter how many Gu Immortals the three regions had, they could not hold a candle to Star Constellation Immortal Venerable.

A venerable was invincible, especially a venerable who was starting to exhibit the might of a Dao Lord.

But venerables could threaten each other.

If Fang Yuan's influence made the three regions' Gu Immortals into cannon fodder, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable would have no choice but to make a move to protect Central Continent.

As such, there would be a change in the contest of three venerables.

Star Constellation Immortal Venerable would be hindered by those cannon fodder, while Fang Yuan could take the chance to surpass her.

Star Constellation Immortal Venerable was the number one wisdom path Gu Immortal since the ancient times. Fang Yuan's scheme had just started, and she already saw through it from some small details!

"Currently, in the contest of three venerables, everyone is giving their all to refine natural dao marks. Fang Yuan is lagging behind, so he is using this trick to shorten the gap."

"Hmph, will it go like you wish?"

Star Constellation Immortal Venerable made a decision immediately: "Zhou Xiong Xin, Wan Zi Hong, go on an expedition to Western Desert!"

Western Desert.

Sun clan headquarters.

Sun clan's first supreme elder was discussing with Wan Hao Guang and Wan Xiao.

"Fang clan attacked my Wan clan abruptly, they are seizing my Wan clan's resource points in a frenzy, they have already gone mad. This act is completely of the demonic path, everyone in Fang clan has entered the demonic path, Fang clan is the biggest demon's nest in Western Desert! Your clan is one of the core forces of Western Desert's righteous path, can you stand by and watch this situation?" Wan Hao Guang said righteously.

Sun clan's first supreme elder nodded and said: "You are right, my Sun clan will definitely use all our strength to maintain righteousness. But currently, Sun clan is in a bit of trouble..."

Sun clan's first supreme elder explained Sun clan's difficulty, he assured them at the end that if Wan clan was able to gather other super forces, Sun clan would definitely join and do their best for Western Desert.

"This old fox!" After leaving Sun clan's headquarters, Wan Hao Guang said furiously.

Wan Xiao smiled bitterly: "Sun clan is the most timid among Western Desert's super forces. It is not strange for Sun clan's first supreme elder to say that. It is already his greatest sincerity to be here expressing his stance. Which clan should we go to next?"

Just as he was speaking, two figures flew over from the horizons, their rank eight aura clear and unconcealed.

"Who is it?"

"Ah, they are Heavenly Court Gu Immortals!"

Wan Xiao and Wan Hao Guang were on guard.

They were not afraid, after all, they had Myriad Age Building.

The two Heavenly Court immortals were Zhou Xiong Xin and Wan Zi Hong.

"Please hold on a moment, friends from Wan clan. We are here to help you." Zhou Xiong Xin greeted from afar.

Wan Xiao and Wan Hao Guang looked at each other, seeing the joy in the depths of their eyes.

Immediately, the two stopped on the spot, hiding their joy while being on full alert.

The two Heavenly Court immortals stopped one thousand steps away, expressing they bore no ill intentions.

Wan Zi Hong did not speak, letting Zhou Xiong Xin explain their purpose in coming: "Fang clan joined the so-called Heaven and Earth Great Love Alliance, and received support from Heaven Refining Demon Venerable. They want to overthrow Western Desert's righteous path, and turn the whole of Western Desert into a demonic den. Although Heavenly Court is the leader of Central Continent, we cannot bear to watch this happen, so the two of us were sent to help and eliminate this demonic trend, in order to restore light to the world."

Wan Hao Guang asked: "How will Heavenly Court help? Will Star Constellation Immortal Venerable make a move if necessary?"

These two questions were crucial.

Heavenly Court's help was not a completely good thing for Wan clan, if it was not handled properly, it would be adding onto Wan clan's troubles and they would be beyond redemption.

The reason?

Heavenly Court was Central Continent's force, and this was Western Desert.

Although five regional walls had disappeared, how could the five regional walls that had existed from the beginning of the world disappear so easily from the Gu Immortals' hearts?

If Heavenly Court were to personally interfere in Wan clan's fight, Wan clan would be publicly recognized as Heavenly Court's subordinate force, Central Continent's bridgehead in Western Desert.

Under such a situation, Western Desert super forces would be vigilant and stay their hand. Wan clan would lose the reason for assembling the Western Desert super forces, and everyone would be on guard against them.

What was an internal battle between Western Desert forces, would become the battle of Fang Yuan and Fang clan against Heavenly Court and Wan clan.

Zhou Xiong Xin smiled: "You can rest assured, we will not personally take part in this campaign against Fang clan."

Wan Hao Guang and Wan Xiao let out sighs of relief.

Heavenly Court Gu Immortals could not interfere directly.

Zhou Xiong Xin continued: "Wan clan's and Fang clan's fight is Western Desert's internal matter. The reason Heavenly Court is willing to help Wan clan is to deal with Heaven Refining Demon Venerable Fang Yuan. If Fang Yuan makes a move or sends his subordinates to participate in the battle, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable will not stand by and do nothing, our Heavenly Court's immortals will also make a move to defend righteousness and ensure peace in the world!"

Wan Hao Guang and Wan Xiao could not restrain their joy.

Since the start, what they were most wary of was the relationship between Fang clan and Fang Yuan. If Fang Yuan made a move, which Western Desert super force could block him?

No one!

Heavenly Court's guarantee immediately removed Wan clan's greatest apprehension.

When Wan clan rallied Western Desert forces later on, and these forces learned of this situation, they would definitely help Wan clan.

Wan Xiao questioned: "Fang clan joined the Heaven and Earth Great Love Alliance, and used resource points to exchange for a large number of Immortal Gu, even constructing a new Immortal Gu House. They are crazily relocating our resource points now, their intention is clear as day. So, can Heavenly Court sell us some Immortal Gu?"

Wan Hao Guang also looked at the two Heavenly Court immortals with bright eyes.

Zhou Xiong Xin sneered inwardly: "Wishful thinking! Immortal Gu are unique, there are barely enough Immortal Gu for us to use, how can we sell them?"

On the surface, however, he showed a smile: "We cannot sell Immortal Gu, but we can lend them. On the other hand, we can consider transacting immortal killer moves and Immortal Gu recipes."

Zhou Xiong Xin then gave a quote which immediately caused Wan Xiao's and Wan Hao Guang's expressions to become unsightly.

Heavenly Court's price was high, Wan clan's wallet would bleed if they wanted to reach that price.

"Heavenly Court's righteousness comes at a price." Zhou Xiong Xin suddenly said with a low voice, "In fact, Heavenly Court will give financial support that will certainly satisfy your clan."

"Oh? We would like to hear the details."

Eastern Sea.

Fang Yuan was communicating with Heavenly Lord Bai Zu.

"Bai Zu, you clearly cultivate enslavement path, why are you asking me to refine blood path Gu?" Fang Yuan deliberately asked.

Far away in Northern Plains, Heavenly Lord Bai Zu was smiling bitterly.

He mumbled internally: "You think I want to do this?"

But he had no choice.

For the blood path Immortal Gu transaction, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable personally summoned Heavenly Lord Bai Zu to make him a middle man for the transaction.

How could Heavenly Lord Bai Zu refuse?

He was only a meager rank eight Gu Immortal, and his clan was established in Northern Plains. He had no choice but to agree to Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's command.

As the saying went, people had to be humble when they were in an inferior position.

Heavenly Lord Bai Zu naturally resented Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, at the same time, he also resented Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan's speech as Great Love shook the whole world. He publicized his connection with the five regions' Gu Immortals and forces, among them, the transaction with Heavenly Lord Bai Zu was completely made up.

Back then, Heavenly Lord Bai Zu had been so frightened that he even burnt his skewer!

Fang Yuan wanted to use this to incite and probe Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's response. Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's ideal was hereditary monarchy, Heavenly Lord Bai Zu was not his bloodline descendant, Bai Zu tribe was also being ostracized and suppressed by Huang Jin tribes.

This was Fang Yuan's incitement plan, maybe it could make Huang Jin tribes ally and exterminate Bai Zu tribe?

Naturally, the possibility was small, the world did not lack smart people.

But Fang Yuan's plan was extremely low cost, it took just a few words.

And how would he know if he did not try?

So, a grand rank eight Gu Immortal Heavenly Lord Bai Zu had to live in fear and anxiety, afraid of Giant Sun Immortal Venerable picking on him.

In the end, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable really did pick on him, giving him a mission.

Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's attitude was clear: Aren't you, Heavenly Lord Bai Zu, close with Fang Yuan? Then, be my middleman and transact blood path Immortal Gu. Use your actions and results to prove your sincerity to me, Longevity Heaven, and the entire righteous path of Northern Plains!

Heavenly Lord Bai Zu felt wronged!

When did he have a close relationship with Fang Yuan?

It was clearly Chu Du who was linked to Fang Yuan. What did it have to do with him, Heavenly Lord Bai Zu? He had even fought Fang Yuan before.

He wanted to prove his innocence, but Giant Sun Immortal Venerable simply did not talk about this, and only wanted him to receive the task.

In fact, from Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's point of view, there were very few people who could take on this task. Longevity Heaven and the Huang Jin tribes' Gu Immortals were out of the question because they represented Giant Sun Immortal Venerable.

Heavenly Lord Bai Zu and Chu Du were different, however.

"Lord Fang Yuan, you are Great Love Immortal Venerable, why do you need to make fun of a minor character like me." Heavenly Lord Bai Zu put himself in a low position, "How can a wise hero like you not know of my situation?"

Fang Yuan laughed heartily: "What blood path Immortal Gu do you want?"

-x-X-x-

Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had instructed Heavenly Lord Bai Zu: If possible, try your best to obtain all of Fang Yuan's blood path Immortal Gu!

But Heavenly Lord Bai Zu naturally could not say that right now, so he mentioned ten Immortal Gu.

Fang Yuan sneered when he received the message.

Among these Immortal Gu, there were Bloodline, Blood Asset, Blood Skull, and Blood Qi.

Fang Yuan possessed bloodline Gu.

This Immortal Gu had been Wu clan's property. Back when Fang Yuan disguised as Wu Yi Hai, Wu clan had even used this bloodline Gu to test Fang Yuan.

Later, Fang Yuan scammed them and became its owner.

It was not difficult for Giant Sun Immortal Venerable to know of this information.

Fang Yuan also had blood asset Immortal Gu.

This was a unique Gu created by Lang Ya land spirit by combining some blood path Gu recipes he bought in treasure yellow heaven.

Fang Yuan smoothly obtained it from Lang Ya Sect.

Currently, blood asset Immortal Gu was already raised from rank six to rank eight. It was one of the core Immortal Gu of Four Elements Square Regret Blood Refinement Pool, as one of the four elements, it was extremely important.

Blood skull Immortal Gu was also with Fang Yuan!

Fang Yuan originally possessed rank four blood skull mortal Gu, and he had once used it to raise his aptitude.

But the price of using blood skull mortal Gu was very high, the Gu Master had to kill enough blood-related kin to raise their aptitude.

In Qing Mao Mountain, Fang Yuan slaughtered almost the whole of Gu Yue village to raise his aptitude.

At Gu Immortal level, the price of using blood skull Gu to raise aptitude rose explosively. To Gu Immortals who acted alone, blood skull Gu was of little use.

But to a force, blood skull Gu was extremely significant.

Fang Yuan could not obtain benefits from blood skull Gu, but others could.

The memories from the five hundred years of his previous life told him that blood skull Immortal Gu's true inheritance was destroyed because of the changes in the world.

So, before the battle in Crazed Demon Cave, when he helped many Gu Immortals undergo immortal ascension, he used the natural inspiration to ask for a rather intact blood skull Immortal Gu recipe.

Together with his deductions, he created a blood skull Immortal Gu recipe.

Fang Yuan easily refined blood skull Immortal Gu with this Immortal Gu recipe.

Like he expected, blood skull Immortal Gu's effect was still to raise aptitude. Because it was an Immortal Gu, it was effective on Gu Immortals. The flaw was still the same requirement of killing blood-related kin. The higher the cultivation level of the Gu Immortal, the larger the number of people they needed to kill, they even had to kill Gu Immortal relatives!

As for blood qi Immortal Gu, it was also in Fang Yuan's hands.

Demon Immortal Qi Jue obtained blood qi Immortal Gu true inheritance, and had transacted the Immortal Gu recipe with Fang Yuan.

After Demon Immortal Qi Jue died, Fang Yuan refined it.

Currently, it was only at rank six.

Besides this, Fang Yuan also had other blood path Immortal Gu. For instance, blood trace Gu and blood oath Gu.

These two blood path Immortal Gu were created by Eastern Sea's blood path demonic immortals Ding Yan and Ding Qi. One was used for investigation, and the other could achieve the effect of information path.

Fang Yuan did not obtain these two Immortal Gu recipes from Ding Yan and Ding Qi, but he knew these two Immortal Gu were destroyed.

Using natural inspiration, he asked for complete Immortal Gu recipes, and adding on his own deductions, he refined them.

"I will be honest with you, Bai Zu. I have many blood path Immortal Gu." Fang Yuan said.

Heavenly Lord Bai Zu immediately praised: "Lord Fang Yuan is well-prepared and farsighted. As a refinement path venerable, you are the number one expert in refinement path in history. I am in deep admiration."

Fang Yuan chuckled: "If you want to trade Immortal Gu, then exchange for it with the Primordial Domain extraction method."

Before Heavenly Lord Bai Zu looked for Fang Yuan, he was instructed by Giant Sun Immortal Venerable. Back then, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable told him about the Primordial Domain extraction method.

In Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's mind, Fang Yuan desired a method to retrieve the Primordial Domain. This was quite clear, just look at treasure yellow heaven, Fang Yuan's portion of the Primordial Domain was still stored there.

Fang Yuan had not taken it out even now, it could be judged that he had no way to extract it.

So, this method was the greatest bargaining chip to purchase the blood path Immortal Gu and could be made use of!

"As expected, Fang Yuan immediately mentioned the method to take out Primordial Domain, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable guessed correctly!" Heavenly Lord Bai Zu was excited inwardly, his trepidation also disappeared for the most part.

He intentionally remained silent for a while before responding: "The Primordial Domain extraction method?"

Heavenly Lord Bai Zu pretended to be in a difficult position.

Fang Yuan snorted coldly: "Don't try any tricks, since you have been sent by Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, didn't he instruct you?"

Heavenly Lord Bai Zu's mind shook as he quickly corrected his attitude: "Lord Fang Yuan is wise and mighty, please forgive my impudence."

Fang Yuan gave a light nod: "Then use the Primordial Domain extraction method to purchase one blood path Immortal Gu."

"Wh... what?" Heavenly Lord Bai Zu was shaken, Fang Yuan was so absurd and greedy that he did not even dare to believe those words.

"Lord Fang Yuan, I think the Primordial Domain extraction method is extremely valuable and can definitely be exchanged for ten blood path Immortal Gu." Heavenly Lord Bai Zu said quickly.

Fang Yuan sneered: "Hehe, you are actually so absurd and greedy, do you have no shame!"

Heavenly Lord Bai Zu: "..."

Fang Yuan simply did not require any Primordial Domain extraction method, he was just teasing Heavenly Lord Bai Zu while refining advance refinement Gu.

Inside sovereign immortal aperture, tens of long rivers were flying in the sky.

Every river was filled with all kinds of immortal materials.

The river streams converged sometimes, and separated at other times.

To refine rank nine advance refinement Gu, Fang Yuan was mainly using the water refinement technique.

Rank eight water refinement Immortal Gu—one of the core Immortal Gu of Four Elements Square Regret Blood Refinement Pool—had been activated since the start of the refinement.

Heavenly Lord Bai Zu came to his senses and started to raise the price: "Lord Fang Yuan, you are clear of my sincerity. You also know that the Primordial Domain extraction method is extremely rare. This Primordial Domain extraction method is valuable to you, and it is what you need the most currently. Just ten blood path Immortal Gu are not of any significance to you. You are a refinement path venerable, isn't it a simple matter to refine any Immortal Gu for you?"

Fang Yuan scoffed, his attitude turning cold quickly: "Back then, I transacted Primordial Domain with Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, shouldn't he have handed the Primordial Domain extraction method as well? Now, I can't even take it out, I have yet to settle the accounts with him, but he is actually shameless enough to sell this thing? Could it be that I, a grand refinement path venerable, cannot deduce a rank nine refinement path killer move to handle the Primordial Domain as an immortal material and extract it?"

Heavenly Lord Bai Zu quickly said: "Lord Fang Yuan, please quell your anger."

"Shut up." Fang Yuan continued, "Go tell Giant Sun this, I rushed to refine blood path Immortal Gu to intentionally make things difficult for him. He wants to dual cultivate blood path? Hehe, I will continue to refine even more blood path Immortal Gu ahead of him! Unless he hands over the Primordial Domain extraction method to me and shows me his sincerity."

Heavenly Lord Bai Zu did not dare to talk anymore. He heaved a sigh and contacted Giant Sun Immortal Venerable.

After Giant Sun Immortal Venerable learned of the event, he immediately scolded: "That kid Fang Yuan is really arrogant, actually daring to threaten me. Heavenly Lord Bai Zu, you are also trash, showing such a cowering attitude! Don't you know that you are negotiating with Fang Yuan as my representative?"

Heavenly Lord Bai Zu could only say: "Lord Giant Sun, it is my mistake! I am not of Huang Jin bloodline and my ability is meager..."

"Alright." Giant Sun Immortal Venerable interrupted him, "It is because you are not of Huang Jin bloodline and have meager ability that I am giving these opportunities to you to temper yourself and increase your ability."

Heavenly Lord Bai Zu: "..."

Giant Sun Immortal Venerable continued: "Continue to negotiate with Fang Yuan, the Primordial Domain extraction method... I won't hand it over for free. Tell Fang Yuan that in the contest of three venerables, his progress is the slowest and he has the least immortal essence. Tell him to assess the situation, cooperating with me will give him great benefits and fill up the gap. A wise person should be aware of their situation."

Heavenly Lord Bai Zu asked: "If so, Lord Giant Sun, how many blood path Immortal Gu should I exchange the Primordial Domain extraction method for?"

Giant Sun Immortal Venerable was silent for a bit.

Hearing Heavenly Lord Bai Zu's words, Fang Yuan's plan was to use his refinement path venerable foundation to deduce a rank nine killer move to extract Primordial Domain.

Although this method was time consuming, it was a feasible method indeed.

Thereupon, the Primordial Domain extraction method could not be priced too high.

But regarding the price, in Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's opinion, the higher the better.

In the end, he chided Heavenly Lord Bai Zu: "It will depend on your effort to see how many blood path Immortal Gu you can exchange for, and that will show your sincerity to Longevity Heaven. Go, I am watching your performance."

Heavenly Lord Bai Zu felt stifled under the enormous pressure. He contacted Fang Yuan once again.

Inside the sovereign immortal aperture, some issues emerged in the handling of refinement path immortal materials.

Fang Yuan was carefully separating the rivers, while removing several of them.

Heavenly Lord Bai Zu said with a smile: "Lord Fang Yuan, there is really no way to offer the Primordial Domain extraction method as a gift. But since you feel ten blood path Immortal Gu is too much, how about... eight?"

Fang Yuan did not have the mood to talk with Heavenly Lord Bai Zu, he chided immediately: "Junior Bai Zu, how can I, a grand venerable, haggle with you? You think I am a mortal merchant?"

Heavenly Lord Bai Zu cursed inwardly, while immediately saying: "I won't dare to!"

Fang Yuan continued: "Let's put aside the matter of the Primordial Domain extraction method. Since you want to purchase blood path Immortal Gu, offer more of the Primordial Domain."

"This..."

Heavenly Lord Bai Zu wanted to say something but was interrupted by Fang Yuan: "What are you standing dazedly for? Can you decide it? Why aren't you returning to ask for instructions?"

Heavenly Lord Bai Zu's anger was soaring. He, a mighty rank eight Gu Immortal, had been turned into a messenger.

And the communicating parties happened to be venerables, he could not afford to offend them!

He could only swallow this grievance and look for Giant Sun Immortal Venerable again.

"This is indeed Fang Yuan, a guy with infinite greed." Giant Sun Immortal Venerable laughed.

He had a lot of the Primordial Domain. The Primordial Domain had little value to him, after all, he did not have the sovereign immortal body.

Currently, it was already Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's limit to cultivate luck path and blood path.

But Giant Sun Immortal Venerable could use the Primordial Domain to cultivate his subordinates.

"It is not impossible to transact them with Fang Yuan..." Giant Sun Immortal Venerable pondered for a while before informing Heavenly Lord Bai Zu of this decision.

Heavenly Lord Bai Zu contacted Fang Yuan once again.

"Lord Fang Yuan, lord?"

He tried to contact many times, but Fang Yuan simply ignored him.

Heavenly Lord Bai Zu: "..."

At this moment, inside the sovereign immortal aperture, tens of rivers had merged, raising countless ripples.

A completely new advance refinement Gu rose from the vast river.

Advance Refinement had reached rank nine!

-x-X-x-

"Rank nine advance refinement Gu..." Fang Yuan inspected carefully and found that the appearance was not much different from its previous rank eight version.

However, it had already undergone a qualitative change!

This was Fang Yuan's second rank nine Immortal Gu, it would provide a huge help to Fang Yuan.

Four Elements Square Regret Blood Refinement Pool would also rise to become a rank nine Immortal Gu House because of this.

A rank nine Immortal Gu House!

Such Immortal Gu Houses were few even in the whole history of humanity.

Heavenly Court's Heaven Overseeing Tower was the most famous Gu House. Unfortunately, with the destruction of rank nine fate Gu, it could not be constructed again.

"Once I finish with the modifications, rank nine advance refinement Gu can be placed in Four Elements Square Regret Blood Refinement Pool once again, thereby allowing this Immortal Gu House to also experience a qualitative change. If there was a ranking list for Immortal Gu Houses, it would be at first place for sure."

Fang Yuan evaluated in his mind.

If it was before, Four Elements Square Regret Blood Refinement Pool might be at the same ranking as Divine Emperor City, but as long as it became a true rank nine, it would suppress Divine Emperor City stably.

After all, Divine Emperor City did not have a rank nine Immortal Gu.

Naturally, Fang Yuan needed to modify the previous Four Elements Square Regret Blood Refinement Pool, to make it suitable for rank nine advance refinement Immortal Gu.

Fang Yuan was a refinement path venerable, a supreme grandmaster in refinement path, it was not hard for him to modify this.

Fang Yuan placed advance refinement Immortal Gu aside and inspected himself.

Just like he expected, because of the second rank nine Immortal Gu, the fishing net-like heaven path dao marks left on him by the killer move obscured heavenly secret were being expended at almost double the speed of before!

This showed that rank nine advance refinement Gu would provide an enormous help to Fang Yuan.

It had a huge significance as it could influence many subsequent matters.

It would be much easier for Fang Yuan to raise the rank of other rank eight Immortal Gu from now on.

"Fortunately, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable and Giant Sun Immortal Venerable have expended a lot of immortal essence, they also need to use their remaining immortal essence to refine natural dao marks. They will not inspect frequently like before, this will greatly reduce the pressure on obscured heavenly secret."

Fang Yuan was aware that obscured heavenly secret was already reaching its limits at this stage.

If Fang Yuan wanted to refine a third rank nine Immortal Gu, obscured heavenly secret might help him conceal it during the early stage, but it would not be able to keep on concealing it at the mid-late stage. The effect of the killer move would dissipate completely.

"So, should I refine or not? If I am to refine the third rank nine Immortal Gu, which should I refine?"

Fang Yuan calmed down and analyzed the situation.

He was now facing problems both internally and externally!

The internal problem was the instability of the sovereign immortal aperture.

Because of non-conflicting dao marks, abnormal situations kept on occurring, causing the whole immortal aperture's ecology to be unstable.

Because of the severe loss of subordinates in the battle in Crazed Demon Cave, there were few Gu Immortals in the sovereign immortal aperture, and they were barely able to stabilize the situation.

Secondly were calamities and tribulations.

Even venerables needed to undergo tribulation.

Among the three venerables, it was extremely difficult for Giant Sun Immortal Venerable and Star Constellation Immortal Venerable to change the time flow of their immortal aperture using time path methods because of conflicting dao marks.

Fang Yuan, however, sped his time flow twice when raising the rank of Heavenly Essence Treasure Imperial Lotus.

For this, his time path clone, He Chun Qiu's time path foundation was almost entirely used up.

For some time, Fang Yuan would not be able to change the sovereign immortal aperture's rate of time. If he did it again, it would lead to a series of changes, abnormal situations would erupt frequently and form into a terrifying tribulation that would cover the whole of the sovereign immortal aperture.

This was because a time path killer move that could transform the whole sovereign immortal aperture had to be of an extremely high rank. To be effective, many time path dao marks had to be engraved or modified.

The sudden change in these time path dao marks would create a chain reaction in the sovereign immortal aperture, leading to unpredictable changes and ultimately causing severe losses.

If a loss occurred, it would have an enormous impact on him.

Previously, Fang Yuan used Landscape as Before along with the year essence pools as recovery methods, but they could not be used now.

Because the water of the River of Time in the year essence pools had poured in just recently. The essence of this method were still the time path dao marks.

The abnormal situations that erupted because of the disorderly time path dao marks would make the usage of any time path dao marks aggravate the situation.

"To reduce the danger of this, I need to construct a time path dao vein at least!"

The third internal problem was the sovereign immortal body's food.

Fang Yuan's sovereign immortal body was created from sovereign immortal fetus Gu, it needed to feed on similarly ranked immortal apertures every set interval of time.

Fang Yuan's cultivation was rank nine now, so he needed to devour rank nine immortal apertures!

Looking at it from this point, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable and Star Constellation Immortal Venerable were Fang Yuan's food.

But the difficulty in this was enormous.

Naturally, Fang Yuan was prepared.

He schemed against the revived Paradise Earth in Crazed Demon Cave. Before Paradise Earth died, he was only a slight distance away from rank nine, his corpse still had a rank eight immortal aperture.

This rank eight immortal aperture was at quasi-rank nine level. Moreover, because Paradise Earth cultivated heaven path, this immortal aperture displayed a unique style, it could actually form into an independent entity that was extremely stable.

Normally speaking, when a Gu Immortal died, their immortal aperture would be unstable and fall on the world, opening their immortal aperture entrance to absorb a large amount of heaven and earth qi, to form either a blessed land or a grotto-heaven.

But Paradise Earth's quasi-rank nine heaven path immortal aperture was special, it was stable.

"If it becomes hopeless in the future, I will split my soul to use Paradise Earth's body to create a heaven path clone. Then, let this clone undergo tribulation to become a heaven path venerable, then devour its rank nine immortal aperture!"

Paradise Earth's corpse was Fang Yuan's future food.

Naturally, doing this was quite wasteful.

If possible, Fang Yuan would prefer having a heaven path venerable clone to assist him!

The three main internal problems were: sovereign immortal aperture, calamities and tribulations, and food. Besides these, Fang Yuan also had external problems.

The external problems were the venerables.

Fang Yuan had quietly refined two rank nine Immortal Gu, this was his greatest advantage now. But other venerables also had their advantages.

Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had refined the most dao marks among the three venerables!

In his territory, he could fight against two others and even gain an upper hand.

The amplification from the outside world's dao marks was too huge.

And although Star Constellation Immortal Venerable was below Giant Sun Immortal Venerable in this aspect, the scale of her refined wisdom path dao marks clearly surpassed Fang Yuan's.

Moreover, Fang Yuan could guess Star Constellation Immortal Venerable was modifying her killer moves.

Fang Yuan had almost no foundation in this aspect.

He had two newly refined rank nine Immortal Gu, but he had no complementary killer moves to use with them.

Fang Yuan's own skill in deducing killer moves was far below Star Constellation Immortal Venerable's.

Were the three venerables to fight now, Fang Yuan's two rank nine Immortal Gu could not provide direct help.

There was another point of the two venerables that Fang Yuan envied.

Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had Longevity Heaven, while Star Constellation Immortal Venerable had Heavenly Court.

The two venerables had their own headquarters, as long as they hid inside, they would receive a huge amplification and show the might of a Dao Lord!

Even if the other two venerables allied sincerely, they would be without options.

This gave them each an impenetrable fortress!

Even if the situation were to crumble apart, as long as they had their headquarters, they would have a foothold and hope to counterattack.

Fang Yuan, however, did not have it.

The sovereign immortal aperture was unstable, how could he dare to use it as a battlefield?

He really could not compare to the other two venerables in this aspect. After all, the two venerables had the accumulation of their past lives, while Fang Yuan was not even a rank eight Gu Immortal in the five hundred years of his previous life.

The main reason was because in Fang Yuan's previous five hundred years, fate Gu still existed. Heaven's will made arrangements for him, and venerables had their own arrangements, Fang Yuan had no ability to go against them.

So, once Fang Yuan lost, he would not have a place to take shelter.

Fang Yuan thought for a long while, but could not come to a decision.

There was a tough decision in front of him.

He could choose to refine or not, both would have a great impact on his following actions.

For instance, if he refined a rank nine Immortal Gu that could be used directly in a fight, Fang Yuan might make a move to suppress the other venerables, consume their immortal essence and enlarge his immortal essence advantage.

If he did not refine it, obscured heavenly secret could still hold on for some time. Using this chance, Fang Yuan could secretly accumulate even more advantages.

It depended on Fang Yuan's choice.

"I don't have enough information..."

Fang Yuan heaved a deep sigh.

Unlike the concluded battle in Crazed Demon Cave, venerables had the time to develop now. Their trump cards and methods had already changed.

With the situation being unclear, it was not easy to make a decision!

Another advantage of choosing a direct confrontation was that information could be forcefully obtained.

But Fang Yuan felt the plan of suppressing two venerables at the same time was somewhat unreliable. They had their own territories, and if the two venerables were forced to join hands, could Fang Yuan handle it?

As the contest of three venerables prolonged, the importance of information became even more prominent.

Fang Yuan, however, was not specialized in this aspect.

Information path was most specialized in gathering information, and Fang Yuan never had a notable accomplishment in information path.

This did not mean he did not have any progress in information path.

Although Li Xiao Bai had been entrusted with the hope of information path back then, he was just an idle chess piece now. Fang Yuan's current foundation was still effective in gathering information on ordinary Gu Immortals or super forces.

But his attainment in information path had never caught up with his development.

Now that he was dealing with two venerables, this aspect appeared quite weak.

Giant Sun Immortal Venerable inspected him, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable deduced him, but Fang Yuan had no way to make any counterattacks.

Just as Fang Yuan was pondering deeply, the situation in Western Desert was changing rapidly.

Wan Xiao, Wan Zi Hong, Sun Wang, as well as Wan Zi Hong, Zhou Xiong Xin and the rest arrived in Xiao clan's headquarters blessed land.

"I already know of your purpose in coming. Fang clan has gone mad and fallen into the demonic path, they are the shame of Western Desert's righteous path. My Xiao clan is willing to help Wan clan to recover your lost territory!" Xiao Ye Hu expressed the stance of Xiao clan clearly.

Wan clan's group formed an alliance with Xiao clan smoothly.

After a round of discussion, Wan clan was willing to cede resource points like visualization oasis, perfume flying island, and black-yellow earth pool. Xiao clan would dispatch Xiao Ye Hu and several other Xiao clan experts.

At the same time, Heavenly Court supported them with immortal essence stones. Moreover, Heavenly Court guaranteed that if Heaven Refining Demon Venerable made a move, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable would definitely appear to obstruct him and protect Western Desert's righteous path forces.

With Zhou Xiong Xin's and Wan Zi Hong's active participation, a righteous path alliance against Fang clan was forming rapidly!

-x-X-x-

Inside the sovereign immortal aperture.

Mini Western Desert.

Mermaid immortal Yu Zi's expression was pale, she panted while looking at the flying sand tunnel in front of her.

"It is finally set up." Yu Zi mumbled.

Rockman Gu Immortal Shi San Bai thanked her: "Yu Zi, you specialize in water path, setting up this kind of earth path resource point is truly hard on you. I could not have accomplished this by myself."

Rockmen were most specialized in earth path.

This was their racial talent.

Originally, Shi San Bai and Shi Gua Bi had agreed to finish the mission of setting up the earth path resource points.

But not long ago, Fang Yuan suddenly sent a command and dispatched several rockman Gu Immortals out of the sovereign immortal aperture.

Shi San Bai had no other options but to wait for others to team up with him.

In the end, he teamed up with Yu Zi.

Although Yu Zi specialized in water path, she was a rank seven Gu Immortal after all.

With Shi San Bai as the leader and Yu Zi as the support, the two cooperated and spent close to ten days to set up this resource point, finishing the mission.

Seeing Shi San Bai expressing his gratitude, Yu Zi gave a humble reply with a polite attitude.

She had her own plans, in fact.

"Resource points like flying sand tunnel can be used as earth vein nodes."

"Lord Fang Yuan's clone will personally come to set up an immortal formation in this resource point to change it into one of the earth vein nodes."

"This is the chance for me to meet Lord Fang Yuan!"

When Yu Zi saw Fang Yuan's main body, her determination had been shaken. But she had gotten over it during this period of time.

She did not have any extravagant hope of building a relationship with Fang Yuan's main body, so her attention was placed on Fang Yuan's clones.

As long as she could connect to Fang Yuan, becoming one of his fiancées, the merman race's status would immediately be stable and unshakable.

Moreover, with this relationship, the merman race would obtain powerful protection for their development.

It was because she had this plot, Yu Zi took on this mission and came to cooperate with Shi San Bai.

A figure suddenly appeared in the horizon.

"Lord Wu Shuai is here!" Shi San Bai showed a respectful expression.

"He is here, Wu Shuai is Fang Yuan's dragonman clone." Yu Zi's heartbeat accelerated as she encouraged herself inwardly.

It was up to her to fight for the merman race's future.

Yu Zi quickly checked her appearance, this time, she was wearing a rare and precious pearl necklace that constantly let out the light scent of sea wind. Her elaborate robe showed off her alluring figure, and the bright fish scales gave off a feeling of being unblemished.

Yu Zi nodded in satisfaction inwardly and encouraged herself. She looked around and had a light smile on her face as she tried her best to show a captivating expression.

Shi San Bai was dumbstruck, immediately understanding the mermaid immortal's plan.

When Wu Shuai arrived above flying sand tunnel, Yu Zi said softly: "Greetings to Lord Wu Shuai!"

This voice made Shi San Bai feel a chill. He also quickly paid his greetings.

Wu Shuai glanced at them and nodded lightly before activating an investigative killer move to carefully inspect the flying sand tunnel.

After three rounds of inspection, Wu Shuai said contentedly: "Not bad, you have done a good job in setting up this flying sand tunnel."

After saying so, Wu Shuai started controlling Immortal Gu, mortal Gu, and many immortal materials as he began to set up an immortal formation.

Yu Zi carefully sized Wu Shuai up. He was muscular and handsome, he had a tall nose bridge and firm lips. He looked like a peerless hero.

His pupils were the color of amber, he had a pair of golden spiral horns, especially his pure-gold dragon scales that shone dazzlingly, they suited the merfolk sense of aesthetic beauty.

"Lord Fang Yuan really has peerless beauty!" Yu Zi admired inwardly.

The beauty of Fang Yuan's main body was a kind of a shock to her, she had a feeling that she could only worship and look up to it, making her feel inferior. While Wu Shuai's heroic appearance moved her heart.

After several hours, Wu Shuai finished setting up the immortal formation.

"Lord Wu Shuai really has amazing methods, you can set up the immortal formation with such little effort." Yu Zi immediately praised.

Wu Shuai smiled: "I can't draw a conclusion yet, I need to see the actual effect. Move back and take care of your safety."

The first activation of a newly constructed formation was rather dangerous. If the killer move were to fail, it would lead to a backlash. The immortal formation would break apart, and not only would it inflict a backlash on the Gu Immortal, it would also cause a violent change in the surroundings.

After all the formation was closely connected to its surroundings.

Especially a large formation over a resource point like this, once it broke apart, the violent change due to the massively concentrated dao marks in the resource point would cause even higher damage. It was even more so in an environment like that of the sovereign immortal aperture.

This was derived from experience.

There were already several failures in the arrangement of immortal formations, which caused dao marks to turn chaotic and the surroundings to change intensely. The loss of the resource points was a small matter, they even resulted in terrifying abnormal situations!

Wu Shuai activated the formation carefully.

He cultivated enslavement path after all. The reason he could set up the formation was because he shared attainment levels with the main body.

So, if there was a mistake in the formation, it would be hard for Wu Shuai to deal with it with his methods as he was not a formation path Gu Immortal.

The immortal formation began to activate. Nothing unexpected happened for the moment.

Wu Shuai's eyes were bright as torches without any signs of relaxing.

After a few breaths of time, Yu Zi finally could not endure it, she bravely approached Wu Shuai and said with a revering expression: "Lord Wu Shuai, this immortal formation seems to have no issue."

Wu Shuai did not look at her, he sniffed the air and frowned slightly: "What is this smell?"

Yu Zi was joyous and was just about to say shyly that this was the fragrance of her pearls.

But right at this moment, there was an explosion!

A large amount of stench qi gushed out of the flying sand tunnel.

Around ten li of the surroundings immediately became filled with a foul smell. Yu Zi's expression was pale, she nearly vomited.

The fragrance of her pearls was completely drowned, moreover, the pure-white pearl necklace was dyed black.

Wu Shuai laughed loudly: "You don't need to worry, this is earth stench qi. The method of relocating this flying sand tunnel was not good enough, so these accumulated stench qi collected inside the tunnel. But it is alright now, this formation has discharged them, there are no hidden threats left."

"Congratulations, Lord Wu Shuai!" Shi San Bai quickly cheered.

Yu Zi also praised while enduring the stench: "This is all due to Lord Wu Shuai's extraordinary methods."

She approached him courageously once again, trying her hardest to attract Wu Shuai's gaze.

But right at this time, sandy rocks shot out of the flying sand tunnel.

These sandy rocks were filled with moisture, thus the stench they emitted was even worse than the earth stench qi.

Lumps of sandy rocks flew to the air before falling down to the surrounding area with splattering sounds.

Just like...

Just like taking a dump.

Yu Zi looked at the sandy rocks that filled the sky, she felt despair.

In this situation, no matter how beautiful she was, Wu Shuai would not be moved.

After the sandy rocks fell for a while, it became normal again.

A large amount of fine, dry sand grains shot out of the flying sand tunnel. The sand grains flew up to one hundred or so feet high before sprinkling down on the ground like a drizzle.

This was flying sand, it had a soft texture, it was an immortal material.

Although it was only a rank six immortal material, the grains were in high quantities.

Under the effect of the formation, the flying sand tunnel had become one of the earth vein nodes.

Wu Shuai nodded contentedly and said in a joyous tone: "Now, the second ring of the earth vein is finished. Although we were also at second ring before the battle in Crazed Demon Cave, the nodes in that second ring were far fewer than the present scale."

"I am sure this world will keep getting better!" Yu Zi added in agreement.

Wu Shuai glanced at her, then glanced at Shi San Bai before flying away.

Yu Zi and Shi San Bai quickly bade him farewell.

Only when Wu Shuai had disappeared in the horizons, did Yu Zi take back her gaze and sighed deeply, unable to hide her deep disappointment.

Shi San Bai laughed inwardly, he knew the mermaid's plan but did not look down on her.

Mermen had already lived in the sovereign immortal aperture for some time now, this period of time was neither long nor short. The mermaid immortals were meticulous in their tasks, and almost all the Gu Immortals knew of them.

In Shi San Bai's opinion, the weak relying on the strong to survive was a wise plan.

He did not feel any hostility, after all, rockmen were all male, they were simply not in the competition.

So, Shi San Bai feigned ignorance: "I am going to continue setting up another earth path resource point. Fairy Yu Zi, are you willing to continue teaming up with me?"

Shi San Bai naturally hoped to have an earth path Gu Immortal as an ally, but the manpower in the sovereign immortal aperture was truly in shortage right now.

Yu Zi had already worked with him, they had a certain level of tacit cooperation.

Yu Zi asked for the details, before refusing Shi San Bai politely while showing a difficult expression.

The next earth path resource point could not be treated as an earth vein node, that meant Yu Zi could not see Fang Yuan's clone, so she did not have any incentive to do it.

Shi San Bai understood, suggesting: "From what I see, you should take a rest."

Yu Zi felt somewhat strange, a thought emerging in her mind: "The Gu Immortals in the sovereign immortal aperture actually rest?"

Yu Zi had lived here for some time, she had already recognized what workaholics the Gu Immortals here were, they did not know what rest was.

This was the first time she heard the word 'rest' from a Gu Immortal here.

Shi San Bai laughed: "This is my own experience. The mission board will never be empty, in fact, there are endless missions, but we are short on manpower. Most of the time, we might not be proficient in the mission, but we have no choice but to force ourselves to finish them."

"It is like how you cultivate water path and had to use much more effort to set up the earth path resource point. You aren't even able to display twenty percent of your strength, which will feel stifling. So, I suggest you take on some missions that allow you to display all your strength. That way, you can ease your mind."

Yu Zi nodded and expressed her thanks.

But she was coughing out blood in her mind: "Sure enough, the so-called 'rest' was still to do missions! These Gu Immortals seem to not know what true rest is!"

"Sleep, I have not had any sleep for over ten days. I have only slept five times since I came here, and each sleep was less than four hours! I really want to sleep, sleep until I wake up naturally!"

"Why are so many earth path resource points pouring in recently? I am already disgusted from arranging these resource points to the point of vomiting."

"I really hope some water path resource points come next..."

When she thought of this, Yu Zi almost wanted to slap herself from anger!

"What are you thinking?"

"You still want more resource points?"

"I hope there are no resource points ever!"

"I hope there are fewer missions!"

"I hope other Gu Immortals finish them instead!"

"Let me sleep, I just want to have a proper sleep."

-x-X-x-

Western Desert, Fang clan's blessed land headquarters.

Fang clan's immortals were all present, their expressions were ashen.

The atmosphere in the discussion hall was so heavy that it was suffocating.

"According to the information we obtained just earlier, Wan clan paid a visit to Qin clan, and Qin clan has already sent Qin Lang to take part in the battle."

Qin Lang was a famous expert in Western Desert Gu Immortal world, he had rank seven cultivation and cultivated space path. His signature method was vortex sweep, once the move was used, it could clear out an area of ten thousand li.

"That means, the alliance that Wan clan gathered in the expedition against our Fang clan already includes Xiao clan, Qin clan, Sun clan, Shi clan, Gong clan, and Tang clan."

"Sun clan's representative is Sun Wang, he does not have high battle strength but is extremely proficient in investigative killer moves."

"Gong clan sent Gong Jiao Che, you all know of his battle accomplishments."

"Shi clan Gu Immortal Shi Kang is a recently famous expert, his defensive aspect is very powerful."

"Tang clan Gu Immortal Tang Lan Ke is a time path Gu Immortal. She has all along been in charge of Tang clan's tributary of the River of Time. Although she is not famous, since she was assigned such an important task by Tang clan, her strength is definitely out of the ordinary."

"The strongest support is still Xiao clan. Xiao clan sent Xiao Ye Hu!"

"That's right, this person had a fortuitous encounter when he was young, he obtained a Gu Immortal true inheritance and received a damaged Immortal Gu House. Xiao Ye Hu relied on this to cultivate until he became a Gu Immortal, he got Xiao clan's help to repair the Immortal Gu House and changed his name to Xiao Ye Hu afterwards."

"According to rumors, his dark path Immortal Gu House Chamber Pot[1] is extremely strange and vicious! Although it is pocket-sized, it can forcefully absorb Gu Immortals. If the Gu Immortal cannot escape and gets trapped in this pot for a night, they will become a pile of piss and stool."

The Fang clan immortals felt a huge pressure weighing on them as they continued to discuss.

Western Desert's super forces had fourteen clans: Lin clan, Xiao clan, Tian clan, Fang clan, Dong clan, Wan clan, Sun clan, Mo clan, Tang clan, Qin clan, Shi clan, Gong clan, Zuo Qiu clan, and Tuoba clan.

If the mysterious and secluded Yi clan was also counted, it would be fifteen clans.

Fang clan was only one of them.

There was no precise rankings of the strength of the super clans.

Western Desert was not like Southern Border, Southern Border's Wu clan was the number one in strength which had been tested over a long period of time and was publicly approved by Gu Immortals.

A super force's strength came from many aspects; for instance, Gu Immortals, resources, Immortal Gu Houses, and so on.

And these aspects also had strengths and weaknesses too.

In an actual situation, super forces competed, allied, or antagonized each other through many ways. Thus, it was rather difficult to rank the super forces.

Naturally, there was a vague consensus.

For instance, in the Western Desert Gu Immortal world, Xiao clan and Tian clan were normally thought of highly by Gu Immortals, because during the past peaceful era, these two had the largest businesses. They had many Gu Immortals and even had rank eight Gu Immortals leading them.

Fang clan's strength was actually quite good.

Fang clan had rank eight Gu Immortal Fang Gong, possessed three Immortal Gu Houses, and now had added an earth path Immortal Gu House.

If they had Divine Bean Palace, Fang clan could have immediately become the dominant force in Western Desert's Gu Immortal world.

Unfortunately, they did not succeed.

Now, Fang clan was facing the alliance of other super forces!

These super clans only needed to send one or two Gu Immortals, and it would be enough to make Fang clan have a tough time.

If just one-third of the super forces mobilized Immortal Gu Houses, it would be enough to surpass the scale of Fang clan's Immortal Gu Houses.

Right now, Wan clan only had to contact the remaining super forces.

The Fang clan Gu Immortals already felt heavy weights pressing on their hearts, it felt like they were sitting on pins and needles.

As the immortals discussed, Fang Leng said: "Everyone, please don't forget that there is still the most terrifying enemy that we need to face — Heavenly Court! Although the information says that Heavenly Court's Gu Immortals clearly won't interfere in Western Desert's internal affairs, it is because of their guarantee that we are unable to use Great Love Immortal Venerable's authority, so these Western Desert super clans are free of their final apprehension."

"What worries me the most is that Heavenly Court sent two rank eight Gu Immortals. Among them, Wan Zi Hong was a famous demonic path expert in Western Desert's history."

The moment Wan Zi Hong was mentioned, some Fang clan Gu Immortals understood Fang Leng's meaning: "Could it be that this Wan Zi Hong is related to Wan clan?"

"Wan Zi Hong is a demonic immortal, there is no evidence of her being blood-related to Wan clan. But even if there is no evidence, it can be forged. If Wan Zi Hong is believed to be a member of Wan clan, Heavenly Court will have justification to interfere in Western Desert's internal affairs. Despite this possibility being unlikely, we have to be prepared for it."

Fang Leng's words made many nod their heads.

Fang Gong was satisfied inwardly.

He raised Fang Leng as his successor, and he saw him mature day by day. Especially during this recent period of time, his growth was obvious.

At this time, Fang Yun said: "From what I see, our clan must seek Great Love Immortal Venerable's help. As long as this lord helps, no matter how many Western Desert super clans come, they are of no worry. And only Great Love Immortal Venerable can contend against Heavenly Court's Star Constellation Immortal Venerable."

Fang Yun was Fang Di Chang's successor, and unlike Fang Leng who simply expressed the issue, he directly spoke of his solution.

During the period that Fang Di Chang was captured, Fang Yun became the leader of Fang clan's wisdom path faction.

He gained many experiences through this, and his influence in Fang clan had also increased by a lot.

As for why he did not mention Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, it was because Fang clan had no connection to Giant Sun Immortal Venerable.

In fact, even if they could contact him, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable would be suspicious. After all, the connection between Fang clan and Fang Yuan was quite deep.

"Great Love Immortal Venerable already sent several rockman Gu Immortals, but they are only responsible for taking the resource points. We already sent a request to him, but Great Love Immortal Venerable... doesn't seem to want to interfere." Fang Leng said with a frown.

Fang clan had openly transacted some resources with Fang Yuan through treasure yellow heaven.

The other batch of resource points were secretly transacted with Fang Yuan. They naturally could not be passed through treasure yellow heaven, the biggest flaw of treasure yellow heaven was the openness, every transaction would be revealed.

Resource points were all counted and recorded, only by transacting them secretly could the information be concealed.

"The chance of getting Great Love Immortal Venerable to make a move is too low, and our clan cannot afford the cost as well." At this time, Fang Di Chang finally spoke.

He had been maintaining silence before.

Besides him, Fang Gong and Fang Hua Sheng also did the same.

These three were the true leaders of Fang clan, they would not easily express their thoughts. Moreover, they were also giving Fang Leng and Fang Yun a chance to temper themselves.

Super forces were different from solitary Gu Immortals, they usually prioritized the cultivation of later generations.

The moment Fang Di Chang spoke, others kept quiet.

They were quietly watching Fang Di Chang with clear trust in their gazes.

Fang Di Chang suddenly chuckled before continuing: "No need to be worried, I have already deduced that the possibility of Star Constellation Immortal Venerable making a move is extremely unlikely."

"In the confrontation between venerables, they will try to avoid a direct confrontation with each other, and will not move personally as a consequence of our affairs. Don't think too highly of yourselves. In the eyes of venerables, we are lowly like ants."

Fang clan immortals listened quietly, nodding their heads with strange expressions.

This might be the first time they were feeling joy at themselves being weak and ignored.

Fang Di Chang followed by saying: "But we still need to transact with Fang Yuan, we must rely on Fang Yuan, we must exchange for even more support from him!"

Fang Gong heard the meaning behind the words and frowned: "Ever since we occupied Wan clan's territories, we have already traded many of Wan clan's resource points with Fang Yuan, and exchanged for Immortal Gu and other resources. The rockman Gu Immortals sent by Fang Yuan are still busy moving away the resource points."

Fang Di Chang shook his head: "But it is still not enough, we need even more Immortal Gu Houses! Once the war starts, we only have one rank eight, that is you. And the Wan clan alliance army will probably have several, even if they haven't appeared now, once the battle turns for the worse, they will come to reinforce."

"So, we need Immortal Gu Houses! Only then can our rank sixes and rank sevens be of use. Only then can they preserve their lives in the battle. They can advance and retreat to a certain extent with the Immortal Gu Houses."

The Fang clan immortals were silent.

Fang Di Chang heaved a sigh: "We all know that the current situation is extremely grim. Our Fang clan is facing all of Western Desert's righteous path!"

"We cannot directly raise our cultivation, our immortal essence stone reserves are also not sufficient, but Heavenly Court can keep on sending them immortal essence stones."

"We must inflict an enormous loss to this wave of the alliance army. Otherwise, even if we hold on through this danger, there will be a second and third alliance army."

"How many waves can our Fang clan hold off? In fact, we will use up all our strength just to block this first wave."

"This is a correct judgment." Fang Hua Sheng praised.

Fang Di Chang then mentioned transacting three big resource points, like black-yellow earth pool.

Fang clan's immortals were shaken.

"Black-yellow earth pool is a super resource point."

"It is no small matter!"

"It is Wan clan's number one resource point, it contains their pride. Are we going to sell it this easily?"

"There will be considerable long-term benefits!"

Fang Di Chang did not speak, only looking at Fang Gong.

Fang Gong thought for a while before saying directly: "I agree, let's handle it this way!"

Fang Di Chang smiled. At the crucial moment, Fang Gong did not disappoint him.

He continued: "Other resource points can be discussed, but we must openly transact this black-yellow earth pool with Fang Yuan!"

"Oh? Good plan!" Fang Yun immediately reacted, his eyes shining brightly.

When they learned of Fang clan's decision, Shi Gua Bi and the rest were shaken.

"Fang clan has such a deep understanding of the situation!"

"More importantly, we have no way to relocate this kind of super resource point."

Shi Gua Bi and the other rockman Gu Immortals felt somewhat awkward.

They only had rank seven cultivation, and this super resource point was at rank eight level.

"Please don't worry, Alliance Leader Great Love already expected this." Lu Wei Yin suddenly appeared and resolved the rockman Gu Immortals' awkwardness.

Lu Wei Yin had joined the Heaven and Earth Great Love Alliance, he naturally came because he received Fang Yuan's order.

His defense was extraordinary among pseudo venerables, he could match the two Heavenly Court immortals. Moreover, he cultivated earth path, so it was of no issue for him to relocate black-yellow earth pool.

Such a move of killing two birds with one stone made Lu Wei Yin the most suitable person to be sent to Western Desert!

Bai Ning Bing's divine sense roamed in treasure yellow heaven.

She looked at the distant Primordial Domain and also Fang Yuan's will above the Primordial Domain, feeling hesitant.

"Should I also transact with Fang Yuan?"

Over this period of time, Bai Ning Bing had been cultivating in the depths of the Earth Trench, exploring it while facing the risk of death.

Immemorial desolate beasts often ran wild in the depths of the earth, but there were all kinds of fortune hidden in the danger.

Bai Ning Bing had collected many immortal materials in this period of time, and also found many natural resource points, most of which were of earth path.

"It really is too difficult to refine Immortal Gu. If I can borrow Fang Yuan's strength, it will definitely be a huge help."

Bai Ning Bing was feeling the urge to make such a move.

According to her understanding of Fang Yuan, he would most likely agree to transact with her.

But Bai Ning Bing had her own misgivings.

On one hand, she had no way to directly take away these earth path resources and put them in treasure yellow heaven.

Bai Ning Bing cultivated ice and snow path, and also had aptitude in enslavement path because of her dragonman identity. She had no suitable Immortal Gu to dig out those earth path resource points.

On the other hand, Bai Ning Bing was worried that exposing the secret of rich resources in the underground would attract Fang Yuan's greed.

Fang Yuan might not make a move personally, but sending a few of his subordinates would be enough to give trouble to Bai Ning Bing.

After all, Shen Shang and Lu Wei Yin had also joined Fang Yuan.

Right as Bai Ning Bing was hesitating, an earth path resource point entered treasure yellow heaven.

Following that, a treasure light shot out from this earth path resource point, forming an enormous pillar of light that seemed to touch the sky.

"Huh? This is... a super resource point?" Even Bai Ning Bing, who had gone through a lot, felt shaken.

At this moment, all the Gu Immortal wills and divine senses in treasure yellow heaven were fluctuating intensely!

"Oh goodness, am I seeing this wrongly?"

"A super resource point, an earth path super resource point!"

"This kind of resource point is a must-have for any super force, but it is actually being sold?!"

"Simply unimaginable!"

"Which wastrel will do such a thing?"

"How will they live from now on?"

"No matter which wastrel it is, the question is, who is this resource point being sold to?"

"Who else can it be? It is undoubtedly Great Love Immortal Venerable!"

Sure enough, like many immortals expected, this earth path super resource point was taken by Fang Yuan's will.

Soon, the resource point was taken from treasure yellow heaven and moved into the sovereign immortal aperture.

An open transaction was finished.

Treasure yellow heaven was still in commotion.

"Western Desert's Fang clan transacted with Fang Yuan."

"Fang clan sold this earth path super resource point."

"It has been checked! This super resource point is black-yellow earth pool, it originally did not belong to Fang clan, this is Wan clan's number one resource point."

"So it was Wan clan's property. I understand now, Wan clan is paying a visit to every Western Desert righteous path super force to organize an anti-Fang alliance. Fang clan is really vicious for selling this resource point."

The five regions' Gu Immortals were all discussing this matter.

Wan clan also soon learned of this.

"How can this be?!" Wan Zhui Qing's eyes reddened with hatred as he spoke through clenched teeth.

"Fang clan is too hateful, too despicable!" Wan Xiao's face was ashen.

This was a classic situation of a person not feeling any heartache for selling something that was not theirs.

Fang clan did not use their own super resource points, but sold Wan clan's super resource point instead.

They even chose to transact it openly!

This plan was really vicious.

Wan Hao Guang also felt an extreme headache. Because this black-yellow earth pool was meant to be the payment to Xiao clan.

Xiao clan sent several Gu Immortal experts to take part in the anti-Fang alliance, and they would form a close alliance with Wan clan later on to reclaim the territories.

But now, black-yellow earth pool was gone, Fang clan sold it to Fang Yuan.

Who was Fang Yuan?

Great Love Immortal Venerable! Heaven Refining Demon Venerable!

Would Wan clan dare to ask for black-yellow earth pool from Fang Yuan?

Would Xiao clan dare?

They would not dare to do it even if they were given ten thousand guts.

Sure enough, not long later, Xiao Ye Hu paid a visit.

"Wan clan, the situation has changed. We need to have another talk." Xiao Ye Hu said heavily.

Wan Hao Guang and the others' expressions did not look good.

When they finished their discussion with Xiao Ye Hu, the expressions of Wan clan's immortals became even more unsightly.

"These greedy jackals!" Wan Hao Guang clenched his fists tightly.

Wan clan's and Xiao clan's transaction contents were modified several times. Black-yellow earth pool was removed, and Wan clan had to add in several giant resource points.

After Xiao clan's benefits were preserved, Xiao Ye Hu left contentedly.

Wan clan's immortals felt anger and hatred, but were helpless.

What choice did they have?

"To make these righteous path forces participate in the anti-Fang alliance, our Wan clan must pay a corresponding price."

"Xiao clan is the super force putting in the most effort, so we need to pay them even more."

"They are simply kicking a person when they are down!"

"Sigh, among the entire righteous path forces, only Tang clan has the most righteous demeanor."

"Yes, I did not notice it before. But in this moment of crisis, we can see the true character of others. Tang clan asked for the lowest price."

"Although Tang clan is not strong, once we retrieve our territory, we should have more dealings with Tang clan."

"That is reasonable."

"Tang clan is a true model of the righteous path!"

Just as Wan clan was discussing the matter, the rank seven time path Gu Immortal Tang Lan Ke, who was sent by Tang clan, secretly contacted Fang Yuan.

"Reporting to lord, Xiao Ye Hu just paid a visit to Wan clan. They had a secret discussion for a long time before he left. Looking at his expression, he seemed to be satisfied."

Fang Yuan nodded. With just a slight deduction, he knew the truth: "Looks like Wan clan ceded black-yellow earth pool to exchange for more support from Xiao clan. The plan with Fang clan has already produced results, continue to stay hidden and probe for information."

"Yes, lord!"

Inside the sovereign immortal aperture.

Because the time flow was much faster here, more than a day had already passed.

An abnormal situation was occurring around an earth vein node.

Dense yellow fog shrouded this earth vein node. Dart-like stones constantly flew out of the yellow fog and attacked the earth vein node.

Yu Zi accepted the task to defend the node, she was facing countless flying stones alone.

Water vapor surrounded her body as her hands moved rapidly, raising giant waves that drowned the stones.

After Yu Zi bade farewell to Shi San Bai, she accepted his suggestion and specially chose a task where she could vent her stress.

Thus, she accepted this task.

At the start, she was like an all-powerful being, her moves were majestic and grand. She released all her stress and felt refreshed.

But this abnormal situation continued until now, Yu Zi was not able to suppress it completely.

Yu Zi was feeling restless and stifled at this moment.

"How can I be so unlucky?"

"I chose a random task but it is actually so difficult!"

"The amount of immortal essence I have expended over these days already amounts to a huge loss. Do I still have to take out some contribution points to ask for help?"

Just as Yu Zi was hesitating, the yellow fog expanded suddenly, and the amount of flying stones doubled.

Yu Zi was caught unprepared and was unable to block them, she could only watch as many of the flying stones shot at the earth vein node.

"Damn it!" Yu Zi cursed in shock and anger.

She took on this task to protect the earth vein node. But if the earth vein node was destroyed, her contribution points would be deducted!

At the crucial moment, a figure suddenly appeared.

He lightly waved his hand, illusory pink light specks scattered and flew into the yellow fog.

"This is a dream path killer move?!" Yu Zi was stunned and joyous.

The dream path killer move was clearly effective, the yellow fog quickly shrunk. The danger was eliminated instantly.

"Yu Zi greets Lord Meng Qiu Zhen!" Yu Zi quickly bowed in greeting.

She was extremely excited.

Truly, fortune and misfortune existed together, she was actually able to see another main clone of Lord Fang Yuan because of this event. She was truly too fortunate.

"Are you alright?" Meng Qiu Zhen asked warmly.

Yu Zi raised her head and saw Meng Qiu Zhen. He had a head full of long pink hair that looked dreamy and illusory. His shining gaze was extremely captivating, his smooth facial contours showed a smile at this moment, making Yu Zi feel warm and heartened.

"So beautiful..." Yu Zi was stupefied as she thought to herself.

Although Meng Qiu Zhen was only at rank six, being shown concern by him made Yu Zi feel a sense of security.

She then thought of her plan and immediately appeared more meek, covering her face as she wept softly: "Many thanks for Lord Meng Qiu Zhen's concern, I used all my strength to protect the earth vein node. But I had no way to protect the formation surrounding the earth vein node."

Meng Qiu Zhen nodded: "I remember this formation, I personally set it up. According to the condition at that time, the formation base was buried underground. The formation's structure was somewhat neglected, so a formation barrier was also constructed."

"Yes." Yu Zi said in agreement, "The formation barrier is too easily broken, I repaired it many times but it always broke immediately after!"

Meng Qiu Zhen took a deep look at Yu Zi. Suddenly, he took her in his arms and started touching her.

He rubbed here and touched there.

Yu Zi was dazed, her whole body was stiff like a statue.

How could this happen all of a sudden?

The difference in personality among Lord Fang Yuan's clones was too big!

If I had known this, I should have just gone to find Lord Meng Qiu Zhen, right?

"Meng Qiu Zhen is such a good name[1], he is truly a dream come true!" Intense happiness filled Yu Zi's body, her stiff body quickly relaxed as she shrunk into Meng Qiu Zhen's embrace, and looked up at Meng Qiu Zhen's face while blushing.

But at the next moment, Meng Qiu Zhen said calmly: "There is an issue with your body, you have been contaminated."

"Wha... what?" Yu Zi was stunned.

Meng Qiu Zhen continued: "Your contamination is quite serious, the abnormal situation is the source of the contamination. In fact, it already had no strength to exist, but after contaminating you, you became the potential source and have been nurturing it. The more you resist, the stronger the abnormal situation will become."

"Is, is this true?!" Yu Zi's eyes widened with an incredulous expression.

"You don't believe me?" Meng Qiu Zhen laughed and patted her shoulder.

"Look, you have hair now." Meng Qiu Zhen said, "I have triggered the abnormal dao marks on your body."

Yu Zi almost fainted when she looked.

She saw hair on her chest, nose, armpit and other private areas.

In just a few breaths of time, this hair had already grown longer than an adult's palm.

Meng Qiu Zhen patted again: "Look, you have grown mold."

Yu Zi's hair was previously standing straight, but now, it drooped down as greenish-white mold grew on it. An intense rotten stench assailed her nose.

Tears flowed out of Yu Zi's eyes.

This was a huge deal to her.

The merfolk aesthetic sense had nothing to do with hair. Merfolk liked scales, luster, and contours forming a streamlined body shape.

Being hairy or furry was ugly!

"What should I do? Please save me, Lord Meng Qiu Zhen!" Yu Zi pleaded, this emotion of desperation came straight from her heart.

Meng Qiu Zhen smiled: "If you want me to help you, you have to spend contribution points."

"I am willing to pay anything and everything." Yu Zi quickly said.

Meng Qiu Zhen shook his head slightly: "But your contribution points are still not enough."

Yu Zi was getting dizzy from anxiety as she quickly explained the reason: "That is because I exchanged for Immortal Gu before!"

"Hmm, let's do it like this then." Meng Qiu Zhen first activated a dream path method.

Pink light covered Yu Zi, suppressing all the hair on her body and restoring her to her original state.

Meng Qiu Zhen said: "I have temporarily restrained your abnormal dao marks, go to Star Collection City when you have gathered enough contribution points, you will be treated there. Go."

Meng Qiu Zhen then left Yu Zi and began to repair the formation around the earth vein node.

Yu Zi gritted her teeth and bowed to bid her farewell.

While flying, she activated a Gu worm to inspect the mission board.

"Why are there so many resource point arrangement missions again?" Yu Zi paled, a vague feeling of disgust emerging in her heart.

But she had no other options, to heal herself, she could only grit her teeth and choose a mission.

"Arrange for the settlement of the black-yellow earth pool! This mission has the highest reward!"
