Freezing rain frozen earth disappeared, the world changed.
The original icy world turned into a dark environment, it was like evening, there were dark clouds looming and the poor weather seemed to be indicating a thunderstorm.
Evidently, this was another battlefield killer move.
"Welcome to fighting soul battlefield." A faint female voice resounded in the battlefield
Everyone who was inside the battlefield heard the voice.
Shark Demon's expression changed, he said: "Oh no, this is the infamous fighting soul battlefield! This is troublesome."
Even before he finished his sentence, a sandstorm started blowing as sand and dust were scattered in the sky, soul beasts appeared one after another, from all directions, encircling the Gu Immortals.
Su Bai Man quickly reminded: "Xing Xiang Zi, Bo Dan, you have to act quickly! The number of soul beasts here are endless, the longer we take, the stronger they become. This fighting soul battlefield was a battlefield killer move created by Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable after he used one of Spectral Soul Demon Venerable's inheritances as a reference. Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable's other creations had some mercy in them, they would always leave behind a way to survive. But this battlefield killer move is very different, it contains Spectral Soul Demon Venerable's killing nature, it is the most deadly battlefield killer move among Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable's creations!"
Fang Yuan and Bo Dan did not dare to take their time, they used their respective methods and tried to unravel the killer move.
Fang Yuan soon discovered: This fighting soul battlefield was very different from freezing rain frozen earth. The latter had no flaws at all when activated, it was very well balanced, giving others a feeling of not knowing where to start. But this fighting soul battlefield exposed several hiding spots of mortal Gu to Fang Yuan from the start easily.
As time passed, Fang Yuan found more and more hidden spots, they were growing into a huge number, there were thousands or even tens of thousands of them!
The number of Gu worms that formed this battlefield killer move was much higher than Fang Yuan's expectations.
Fang Yuan soon found out, there were no traps like the ones that were in the freezing rain frozen earth battlefield killer move. No matter which hidden spot they destroyed, there was no backlash, and Fang Yuan did not need to restart his deductions.
Thus, very soon, Fang Yuan and Bo Dan started to dismantle these hidden spots rapidly.
However, this fighting soul battlefield's offensive power was several times greater than freezing rain frozen earth.
Freezing rain frozen earth attacked in waves, there was a moment of peace in between each wave of attacks, the Gu Immortals could rest for a while each time.
But this fighting soul battlefield did not stop for a moment after activation, the number of soul beasts continued to increase, soon, desolate beast level soul beasts were formed.
A while later, there were more than ten desolate soul beasts, even ancient desolate soul beasts started appearing.
They did not even last for seven minutes before Shark Demon and the others had to use the incomplete Profound Ice House to escape from the place.
"There are simply too many Gu worms used to create the battlefield killer move, I am ashamed, my methods are too simple, I could only dismantle them one by one." Once they got out of the sea, Bo Dan spoke to Shark Demon without concealing any information, he spoke the truth.
Fang Yuan frowned too: "My methods could only dismantle at most five to six hidden spots each time. I suspect that this fighting soul battlefield's difficulty lies here. The faster we can dismantle it, or the longer we can last under the attacks of the soul beasts, the more likely it is that we can unravel this killer move. To unravel it in itself is not the problematic part."
"In that case, Xing Xiang Zi, according to your deduction, how long do both of you need to dismantle this killer move at your current speed?" Shark Demon asked.
Fang Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I am not sure. I did not manage to see the entire battlefield killer move. There are too many hidden spots, they are numerous like the stars in the sky. And even if I manage to find the tens of thousands of hidden spots, to get rid of them, I will need at least thirty minutes."
Sha Nan Jiang was lost for words: "Thirty minutes? We lasted for seven minutes and there were already ancient desolate soul beasts appearing. Thirty minutes... surely, immemorial desolate soul beasts will appear, and there might be more than one!"
Everyone became quiet.
Su Bai Man spoke heavily: "In that case, we can only ask more people to help out next time. These Gu Immortals will need to have enough wisdom path attainment to dismantle the hidden spots."
Saying so, Su Bai Man and Shark Demon looked at each other, they could see the bitterness in each other's eyes.
There were not many Gu Immortals with wisdom path attainment. Asking them to help would incur a huge cost.
Shark Demon thought for a while, he spoke: "Then we will retreat for now. The next time we are attacking is in thirty days, we will decide on the time at a later date, I will inform you all. Xing Xiang Zi, this is my command token, you can use it to stay in Zombie Alliance's headquarters and avoid the trouble you are facing for now."
Fang Yuan smiled lightly: "Thank you for your goodwill, Lord Shark Demon, but I am not willing to waste any time. Merely Song Yi Shi cannot do anything to me. Even though Song clan is a huge force, they cannot control the entirety of Eastern Sea. If I hide and shrink away because of this, I, Xing Xiang Zi, would have cultivated for nothing. Everyone, until next time we meet."
Seeing Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng fly far away, Bo Dan stepped forward and stood beside Shark Demon, he slandered: "This Xing Xiang Zi really does not know what is good for him, he actually refused to accept Lord's goodwill!"
Shark Demon glanced at him, he snorted, saying unhappily: "If you were any more capable, why would I need to treat him like this?"
Bo Dan had a bitter expression: "Oh lord, it was not that I did not put in effort, but my inheritance is too incomplete, there is a limit to what I can do."
Shark Demon waved his hand impatiently.
Bo Dan quickly shut up and lowered his head, leaving.
Su Bai Man got close to Shark Demon, she smiled: "If husband is afraid that Xing Xiang Zi would get into trouble and delay the next invasion, you do not need to worry. Northern Plains Gu Immortals often have higher battle strength than the other four regions, Xing Xiang Zi also has Immortal Gu with him, his battle strength was high enough to kill Yao Ge Pi on the spot, nothing would happen to him."
"Even though he offended Song Yi Shi, the precious gem of Song Qi Yuan, it is precisely because Song clan is a righteous path super force, a large organization with many matters to take care of, that they would not create a huge commotion over such a small matter. But Song clan's reputation was affected, they would definitely want an answer. In a while, Xing Xiang Zi would feel increasing pressure, by then, wouldn't he come to ask us for help?"
"Mm, that is indeed the case, your analysis is very accurate." Shark Demon's expression became calmer, he gently held Su Bai Man's hand.
...
Northern Plains, Luo Po valley.
The battle surrounding Luo Po valley had already been ongoing for over half a month.
Qin Bai Sheng's side had the territorial advantage, Feng Jiu Ge's side was unable to take them down. But Feng Jiu Ge and the others were very determined, they besieged the area without retreating, Qin Bai Sheng's side could only hide inside Luo Po valley for the time being.
"Jiang Yu, how are your injuries?" Qin Bai Sheng went to visit Fairy Jiang Yu.
"In half a day, I will fully recover." Fairy Jiang Yu sat on the bed, shutting her eyes as she healed herself, she replied while multitasking.
Joy flashed across Qin Bai Sheng's face: "That is good. After you recover, we will protect you as you charge out of the encirclement, and go to Northern Plains Zombie Alliance to activate our hidden arrangement."
"What? We are going to use our arrangement in Northern Plains Zombie Alliance? Will it not have a huge impact on the entire crucial plan?" Fairy Jiang Yu was shocked, she asked this.
Qin Bai Sheng said heavily: "It won't. I have already communicated with Old Man Yan Shi, in Shadow Sect's Southern Border headquarters. Sigh... Feng Jiu Ge is really quite the character, his self-created heaven and earth song could match my five finger fist heart sword. My personal reputation is nothing important, but the Immortal Gu that is still being nurtured inside Luo Po valley is important to our crucial plan, it cannot be lost. But now that Luo Po valley is being encircled by these people from Central Continent, we are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, we can only rely on the ancient soul beasts to defend ourselves. We will eventually fall if this keeps up, we need to regain the initiative!"
These last days, he had fought with Feng Jiu Ge for over dozens of rounds, after exchanging blows countless times, even if they put in all their efforts, they had been unable to determine a winner.
Qin Bai Sheng was concerned about the big picture, he wanted to find a way to get out of this predicament.
But at this time, Feng Jiu Ge's voice came from outside.
Qin Bai Sheng heard it and sneered internally: "After remaining silent for three days, he's finally returned to taunt us again?"
Qin Bai Sheng flew into the air, facing Feng Jiu Ge: "Brother Feng, we have undergone innumerable rounds of battles, we know each other's abilities quite well now. You are an astute person, can't you see that in this current situation, as long as I defend this Luo Po valley, you cannot break in by force!"
Feng Jiu Ge smiled brightly, an intense light of confidence shined in his eyes: "Brother Qin, this time is different. After our countless rounds of battles, I had gained much inspiration. These last three days, I have been in closed cultivation, I used the inspiration to complete an incomplete move that I had created in the past."
"Oh?" Qin Bai Sheng's expression turned serious.
Feng Jiu Ge raised his head slightly, he said loudly: "This time, I would like to ask Brother Qin to critique my submission song!"
Green Jade Song.
Heaven and Earth Song.
Submission Song.
When Feng Jiu Ge sang green jade song, his voice was crisp and sharp, like beads of flawless jade. When he sang heaven and earth song, his voice was grand and magnificent, it made others feel their own insignificance.
But now, Feng Jiu Ge sang submission song, his mouth was closed.
The entire place was silent.
Qin Bai Sheng's expression was both serious and grim, because he 'heard' Feng Jiu Ge's singing voice.
His singing voice was directly resounding in Qin Bai Sheng's mind.
It turns out that this submission song was not heard with one's ears, but in one's mind.
Qin Bai Sheng's heart sank: "This sound path killer move encompasses wisdom path, enslavement path, sound path, and soul path, these four paths, it affects a person's mind. From the moment he closed his mouth, there is already a trace of five finger fist heart sword in it. This Feng Jiu Ge actually obtained this inspiration from me. But it is only at this level, it is not enough to affect my fighting spirit. Eh? Oh no!"
Qin Bai Sheng's reaction was fast, but submission song's effect was even faster.
In Luo Po valley, there were many ancient soul beasts that were guarding the place, under the influence of Feng Jiu Ge's song, they submitted to him, they betrayed Qin Bai Sheng on the spot, becoming the lackeys of the Central Continent Gu Immortals.
Submission song could temporarily cause desolate beasts and ancient desolate beasts to change sides, becoming subordinates of the singer!
"Damn it!" He Lang Zi cursed.
They had few people, they needed the ancient soul beasts to bolster their defenses.
But now, most of the ancient soul beasts changed sides, they started attacking Luo Po valley instead, Shadow Sect's side was falling into great danger.
But Qin Bai Sheng was not easy to deal with.
He quickly thought of this and displayed a battlefield killer move.
Feng Jiu Ge and the others, including the ancient soul beasts, were dragged into this battlefield.
There was thick fog in this battlefield, countless souls were flying around.
Dark blue soul beasts gathered and took form, most of them were ordinary soul beasts, but soon, desolate soul beasts appeared, and seemingly before long, ancient soul beasts would appear as well.
The soul beasts that were created in this battlefield fought against the ancient soul beasts that were under Feng Jiu Ge's control.
"Good countermeasure." Feng Jiu Ge stopped singing, he praised: "Using this battlefield killer move to increase your control of the soul beasts and eliminate the advantage of submission song. But your soul taker battlefield is too outdated, even though it was created by Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, he made it when he was young. Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable had once used this killer move to create the even more superior fighting soul battlefield. This soul taker battlefield can only convert the souls of living beings into soul beasts, but fighting soul battlefield can actually produce endless soul beasts."
Feng Jiu Ge was inside the battlefield killer move, but he was not worried, he spoke casually as he critiqued the killer move.
Qin Bai Sheng, however, spoke with a smile: "Future generations enjoy the benefits from the hard work of predecessors. Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable could create the superior fighting soul battlefield because he used the foundation created by Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, it is only to be expected. But he was too kind of a person, he weakened Spectral Soul Demon Venerable's killing intent, even though it seems superior, it lost all hope of going a step further."
Saying this, the battlefield changed again.
Feng Jiu Ge's expression changed: "So this is not soul taker battlefield, it is a battlefield killer move that Spectral Soul Demon Venerable created in his later years — Hundred Million Slaughterfield!"
-x-X-x-
Eastern Sea, Song clan's headquarters, Heavy Water blessed land.
"Grandpa, you have to avenge me!" Song Yi Shi charged into the study room, stomping her feet and throwing a tantrum to the rank eight Gu Immortal Song Qi Yuan.
Song Qi Yuan and some rank seven Gu Immortal elders were discussing matters of the clan.
But Song Yi Shi barged in directly like this.
Song Qi Yuan turned around slowly, he showed no anger on his face as he smiled kindly: "My sweet granddaughter, how do you want grandpa to avenge you?"
Song Yi Shi did not find it strange that her grandfather knew about this, in fact, if Song Qi Yuan did not know about it, that would be the strange thing.
Before this young female Gu Immortal came, she had already thought of an answer, she gritted her teeth: "Grandpa, strike directly and capture him alive, I will deal with him after that."
At the same time, she thought inwardly: "I will dig out this old lecher's eyes out first, then I will pull out his tendons and his skin, I will carve out his bones and make his flesh rot, he will be in so much pain, I will make him regret everything that he has done!"
Song Qi Yuan nodded, he did not hesitation, he agreed: "That is a good method, but..."
He dragged his words out, Song Qi Yuan changed the course of the conversation as he showed a difficult expression: "Grandpa has something important to do now, I cannot leave, why don't I get your uncle, Song Xia Qi, to help you?"
Song Yi Shi's eyes shined, she forget her own situation, she thought of something as she asked excitedly: "Grandpa, is it regarding Ascending Heaven Plain?"
Song Qi Yuan did not hide it from her, he admitted: "That's right! Ascending Heaven Plain's exact location has already become an open secret among most Eastern Sea Gu Immortals. In Ascending Heaven Plain, there is Old Eccentric Tian Nan's inheritance. This time, grandpa will lead the clan's Gu Immortals to compete against Cai clan and Ruo Lai clan, to try to obtain Old Eccentric Tian Nan's inheritance."
Old Eccentric Tian Nan, a refinement path supreme grandmaster from the Remote Antiquity Era, he was on par with Old Immortal Kong Jue and Long Hair Ancestor over the course of history.
According to historical records, Old Eccentric Tian Nan had a strange personality, he attempted to refine the immemorial nine heavens and ended up dying after failing.
Even though Song Yi Shi was spoiled since she was young, she understood the bigger picture, she quickly replied: "Go and deal with that, grandpa, make sure you utterly defeat them both! You do not need to worry about my matter, but just uncle Song Xia Qi isn't enough, I want uncle Song Jia Dan to help me once, to deduce the location of that old lecher."
"Haha, my dear granddaughter. Alright, take this token and go to twin polar sea strait, and find your uncle Song Jia Dan." Saying so, Song Qi Yuan tossed a token to her.
Song Yi Shi quickly caught it and showed a joyful expression, she turned around and left, not even saying a word of goodbye.
Twin polar sea strait was covered in a thick layer of fog all year round.
In the air, Song Yi Shi stopped, seeing the fog in front of her, she felt a little troubled, she turned to the middle aged Gu Immortal beside her: "Uncle Xia Qi, how do we get in?"
Song Xia Qi's body was filled with a vigorous aura, he smiled lightly and said: "Didn't your grandfather give you a token? Little Yi Shi, you just need to take out the token and your uncle Jia Dan will sense it."
Song Yi Shi held the token high up in the air.
A moment later, the fog in front of her started to disperse, a small tunnel appeared, it directly connected to the inside of twin polar sea strait.
Song Yi Shi and Song Xia Qi entered the tunnel and stepped into twin polar sea strait, meeting Song Jia Dan.
Song Jia Dan was a wisdom path Gu Immortal that Song clan had specially nurtured.
He stayed on the cliff of twin polar sea strait normally, his upper body was already old and weak, his lower body had been petrified, his legs seemed to have fused with twin polar sea strait.
"Uncle Jia Dan!" Song Yi Shi called out.
Since birth, she had only met the Gu Immortal Song Jia Dan a handful of times, but that did not affect her admiration towards Song Jia Dan.
Song Jia Dan had sacrificed his own freedom for the clan. Ever since he became a wisdom path Gu Immortal, he had sat here, using his special wisdom path inheritance to fuse with the world. Because of this, Song Jia Dan's deductions and schemes were very brilliant. Every time Song clan had important matters, they would ask him to help and deduce their upcoming fortunes.
Right now in the world of Eastern Sea's Gu Immortals, he was publicly recognized as one of the three most capable wisdom path Gu Immortals.
The saying goes: Jia Dan sits in twin polar, Hua An hides in Nan Gong, there is also Dragon Head Tortoise, living inside adversity sea.
Song Jia Dan had already opened his eyes, he looked at Song Yi Shi and Song Xia Qi expressionlessly.
He wanted to smile, but his face was hard like a statue, his muscles were stiff and could show no expression, even if he opened his mouth, he could only speak very slowly and with much difficulty: "Little Shi, cousin Xia Qi, it has been a long time."
"Uncle Jia Dan, I am here to ask you to deduce the location of an enemy. This is his appearance, and the aura that I collected." Song Yi Shi passed two Gu worms to him.
"Let me look at the command token first." Song Jia Dan spoke slowly. Even though he was familiar with Song Yi Shi and Song Xia Qi, he was to be impartial, to make a deduction, he needed to see Song Qi Yuan's command token first.
After checking that the token was authentic, Song Jia Dan opened his mouth, a suction force made both of the Gu worms from Song Yi Shi go into his mouth.
He shut his eyes and started deducing.
A long while later, he opened his eyes, perplexion shined in his eyes: "I could not deduce anything."
"What?" At once, not only Song Xia Qi who was in anticipation, but even Song Yi Shi, who was very confident, showed immense shock.
"Uncle, you are one of the three best wisdom path Gu Immortals in Eastern Sea, how can you fail the deduction?" Song Yi Shi asked.
"Little Shi, don't be anxious." Song Xia Qi's expression turned heavy: "Elder cousin Jia Dan, the other party is only a rank six lone cultivator that came from Northern Plains, with your wisdom path attainment, you could not deduce anything?"
Song Jia Dan was still expressionless, he spoke slowly: "Is it strange that I could not deduce anything? I am merely rank seven, even though I have some fame, that is all flattery by nosy people. In the end, I am but a tiny worm in this vast world, all I can do is to predict some premonitions of impending storms. Compared to the world, I am insignificant like an ant, compared to the grand heroes in this world, I merely control a tiny domain."
Song Xia Qi smiled bitterly: "Cousin, you are still so humble."
Song Jia Dan said: "I am not humble, but as I continue to fuse with this world unceasingly, every time I advance in wisdom path, I can see the glorious view ahead more clearly. The more I learn about the secrets of this world, the more I am aware of my own insignificance. Thus, I am not being humble, I am just being truthful, I am aware of my own status."
Song Yi Shi was discontent: "Even if uncle Jia Dan cannot deduce it, you are still the smartest person, you can surely give a good suggestion."
Song Jia Dan was silent for a while, he said: "There are two possible reasons why I could not deduce it. The first is that the other party is not in Eastern Sea. The second, they have wisdom path techniques that can conceal them from my deductions. Or maybe they could find other wisdom path Gu Immortals to help them evade my deductions."
Song Yi Shi and Song Xia Qi looked at each other.
These two reasons were very far-fetched.
The first reason, if this old lecher Xing Xiang Zi was not in Eastern Sea, where could he be? Right now, the earth tide was over, how could he return to Northern Plains?
The second reason, how could Xing Xiang Zi resist Song Jia Dan's wisdom path attainment? If he had help, this person would need to be at least at Song Jia Dan's level? Was it Nan Gong clan's Gu Immortal Hua An, or Dragon Head Tortoise Immortal in adversity sea who helped him?
"Uncle Jia Dan, deduce it again. Maybe you just happened to fail!" Song Yi Shi requested as she pouted.
Song Jia Dan directly rejected this: "No, the clan has an important mission, we have to obtain Old Eccentric Tian Nan's inheritance. I need to preserve my strength, and prepare my methods, to deduce for this in a few days time."
"Uncle Jia Dan, you did not originally put in all your effort!" Song Yi Shi heard this and said unhappily.
"Alright, you can leave now." Song Jia Dan shut his eyes slowly.
Song Yi Shi was ignored, she gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, helplessly turning around and leaving.
To fight for Ascending Heaven Plain's control, to fight for Old Eccentric Tian Nan's inheritance, it was a project that the clan had been planning for a hundred years. Pursuing Xing Xiang Zi was just her own personal business.
Even though Song Yi Shi was pampered and spoiled, she could see the big picture and cared for the clan's progress, she was not an ignorant fool.
Central Continent, Hu Immortal blessed land, an underground cave.
Fang Yuan was bathed in the light of wisdom, he shut his eyes as the star thoughts in his mind shined, he quietly deduced some important things.
Last time, he used the light of wisdom to deduce the immortal killer moves, star fire escape and projected star thought.
Thus, Fang Yuan currently controlled six star path immortal killer moves in total.
Star cloud grindstone, star snake rope, six illusion star bodies, position star swap, star fire escape and projected star thought.
Among them, star fire escape was a movement killer move, it was used extensively in escaping the chase from Song Yi Shi. As for projected star thought, it was the investigative immortal killer move that Fang Yuan used to expose the immortal zombie Sha Nan Jiang's traces.
These two killer moves were originally incomplete. They were concepts that predecessors of Star Lord Wan Xiang had left behind in the star path inheritance, they had encountered difficulties during the deductions and could not progress to complete the killer moves.
Fang Yuan's star path attainment was only ordinary, normally under such a situation, these incomplete moves would only be useful as reference to him.
But since he had the rank nine wisdom Immortal Gu, he could use the light of wisdom and gain unlimited inspiration, he got over the difficulty of a low star path attainment level, he forcefully completed the killer moves.
"It is a pity, in the short time I had, completing star fire escape and projected star thought was my limit. After all, I have only three star path Immortal Gu now. Of course, most importantly, my star path attainment level is too low. Eh?"
At this time, a moving perspective cup Gu appeared in Fang Yuan's immortal aperture.
The information in the Gu came from Lang Ya land spirit.
"Lang Ya land spirit has finally completed the relocation of Lang Ya blessed land, he can lend that set of Immortal Gu to me now!"
Fang Yuan was overjoyed.
This time, he purposely returned to Central Continent from Eastern Sea, it was to wait for Lang Ya land spirit's news and to relocate Star Form blessed land.
In Fang Yuan's plans, Star Form blessed land was very important.
Once the truth that he was the culprit of the incident in Northern Plains becomes exposed, he would have to escape for his life.
By then, Hu Immortal blessed land would face disaster. If he was still an immortal zombie and could not produce immortal essence, then Star Form blessed land would be his sole secret base.
However, Hei Lou Lan knew about Star Form blessed land's location. If Hei Lou Lan knew, Fairy Li Shan also knew.
Fang Yuan was a vigilant person, now that he was Star Form blessed land's owner, he naturally had to relocate Star Form blessed land to a place that only he knew.
-x-X-x-
Fang Yuan did not hesitate, he immediately used Fixed Immortal Travel to go to Lang Ya blessed land.
Lang Ya blessed land had already undergone a huge change.
In the vast sea, three continents were facing each other. In the air, there was a fourth continent made from cloud soil.
Because there was an intense battle that destroyed much of the blessed land, Tai Bai Yun Sheng had helped and restored most of it to its original state.
Even though Tai Bai Yun Sheng did not participate in the battle, he helped repair the blessed land after the battle, he earned quite a sum as well.
Of course, because some Immortal Gu that made up Refinement Cauldron were gone, the space in the blessed land shrank. Tai Bai Yun Sheng did not have the power to restore the missing space and everything that was in them.
The twelve cloud buildings had been rebuilt by Lang Ya land spirit, split up across the cloud soil continent. In addition, there were many hairy man Gu Masters surrounding the twelve cloud buildings, reconstructing even more buildings.
"I intend to create twelve cloud cities centered upon the twelve cloud buildings. This cloud soil continent in the sky will become the new living area for elite hairy men." After Lang Ya land spirit saw Fang Yuan, he explained this.
Fang Yuan nodded in agreement.
Because Lang Ya blessed land lost a number of Immortal Gu, the space inside shrunk by a lot. And because there were many hairy men living in the blessed land, they were reaching the limit of the three continents. Thus, in this situation, a new area to allow the hairy men to live and propagate was needed.
But Lang Ya land spirit's next words shocked Fang Yuan.
"Other than this, I have also established Lang Ya Sect! This sect system will use Central Continent as a reference, I will be the sect's first supreme elder, and the hairy man Gu Immortals will be the other supreme elders. My previous self was too foolish, he used these precious Gu Immortals for Gu refinement. Hmph! To fulfill the dominance of hairy men, bloodshed is necessary."
"Next, I will start training these hairy man Gu Immortals, nurturing their battle talents. Once they have sufficient strength to protect themselves, I will send them out of the blessed land, and let them complete all kinds of sect missions."
"Also, under my influence, the three continents in the sea will erupt in war! From among them, three kings will be chosen, and they will create three kingdoms on their respective continents. The kingdoms will fight against each other, and each year, my Lang Ya Sect will pick the most elite hairy men from these three kingdoms, and send the elite hairy men to the continent in the clouds, they will become the foundation of Lang Ya Sect. Furthermore, I will choose a rank five peak stage hairy man Gu Master as the sect leader of Lang Ya Sect!"
The new Lang Ya land spirit was completely different from the previous one, maybe he was affected by the attack of Qin Bai Sheng, but Lang Ya land spirit had decided to undertake a complete reform of Lang Ya blessed land, he used hard-handed methods and had the disposition of a conquering grand emperor.
Different emperors employ different styles of rulership, because of Lang Ya land spirit's change, the hairy men that were living in the lower tiers were undergoing turmoil and difficulties from war, their peaceful and serene lifestyles were not to return.
"Lang Ya land spirit used such a cruel method to choose the most outstanding hairy men. But this method is simply too wasteful."
Fang Yuan felt some pity, there were bound to be large numbers of sacrifices during war.
He felt quite a loss inwardly, he might as well use these hairy men for Gu refinement.
But Fang Yuan would not say these words openly, he could only mutter in his mind.
From Lang Ya land spirit's perspective, hairy men were the most outstanding creatures of all, humans and all other variant humans were underneath them.
Fang Yuan raised hairy men and used them as slaves for Gu refinement. If Lang Ya land spirit knew this, he would not accept it, he might even fall out with Fang Yuan.
Thus, even though Fang Yuan lacked knowledge and experience of raising hairy men, in the previous discussions regarding the compensation of defending Lang Ya blessed land, Fang Yuan did not attempt to request this even though he knew that Lang Ya land spirit had extremely precious knowledge of how to nurture hairy men.
"But at this rate, Lang Ya blessed land would undergo a huge reform, the hairy men would start working hard and their battle strengths will rise drastically. Maybe this happened in my previous life, after such a transformation in Lang Ya blessed land, it managed to endure seven waves of attacks."
"But this Lang Ya blessed land has hidden undercurrents deep beneath the surface, even though two hairy man Gu Immortal traitors were exposed, we can't be sure that there will not be a third or fourth traitor among the rest. The methods of Qin Bai Sheng that can develop traitors to this extent in here are really unimaginable."
Fang Yuan thought about this as he told Lang Ya land spirit his intentions.
Lang Ya land spirit was slightly shocked, he asked again: "Oh? You want to borrow my set of Immortal Gu now and relocate your blessed land? I remember I told you this set of Immortal Gu will not be cheap. Even on the basis that you fought against strong enemies for us, I told you that you will still need to pay two thousand immortal essence stones?"
Fang Yuan took out two thousand immortal essence stones, handing them to the land spirit: "Look, I've prepared them already."
Lang Ya land spirit was greatly shocked, he received the immortal essence stones as he inspected Fang Yuan, his gaze slightly changing.
He knew Fang Yuan's foundation and was very surprised: "This lad only ascended recently, he already has so many immortal essence stones?"
"Back then when he made transactions with my previous self, he had to earn immortal essence stones by deducing Immortal Gu recipes, it showed how poor he was. It seems that these immortal essence stones were mostly borrowed. That is bad if he owes people a huge sum, or even worse, favors."
Lang Ya land spirit shook his head, he did not approve of Fang Yuan's actions.
But he understood why.
He knew that Fang Yuan's crime was simply too absurd. Once it was exposed, he would be in a doomed situation, he would be chased to the ends of the world.
Thus, Fang Yuan had to relocate the blessed land.
But this point was also the main reason why Lang Ya land spirit wanted to gradually take in Fang Yuan and turn him into a lackey.
It was because Fang Yuan was under such a situation, he was faced with enemies everywhere, when he is left without a choice, he would have to join the hairy men, and become a traitor of the humans.
But what Lang Ya land spirit did not know was — he was completely wrong!
These two thousand immortal essence stones were actually Fang Yuan's own savings.
Fang Yuan was rich now, very rich!
He earned one hundred and eighty immortal essence stones from his first transaction of guts Gu with Spirit Affinity House.
After the Central Continent Refinement Path Convention, Fang Yuan displayed formidable Gu refinement talent, He Feng Yang personally invited him to go to Immortal Crane Sect and take a look, this was a change in attitude of Immortal Crane Sect towards Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan owned Hu Immortal blessed land now, he had room to maneuver between Immortal Crane Sect and Spirit Affinity House.
As his situation became much easier, and as he considered the dangers of being chased down, Fang Yuan decided to increase the production of guts Gu.
Once he made this decision, the profits that he earned from guts Gu each month reached a total of three hundred immortal essence stones!
And don't forget, after Fang Yuan took over Star Form blessed land, he even obtained Star Lord Wan Xiang's four sources of revenue. He even went ahead and established the trade of regretful spiders with Western Desert's Xiao clan.
With a total of six sources of revenue, he earned over a thousand immortal essence stones each month!
There were still the dragonfish and eerie fire dragon pythons that had not entered the market yet. If he included these two, Fang Yuan's initial estimation was that his monthly profit would reach a total of one thousand and five hundred!
Two months had already passed since Fang Yuan became the owner of Star Form blessed land.
He naturally had more than two thousand immortal essence stones in his current possession.
Thinking of back then, when he had just become an immortal, he had to calculate every single stone, looking at prices carefully, he even had to think of how to efficiently use half an immortal essence stone. But now he had over a thousand immortal essence stones of profit a month, he had truly progressed greatly and taken a huge step forward.
He took a really huge step, but Lang Ya land spirit did not know about it, even though he was already thinking highly of Fang Yuan, he was still very wrong.
Even though Fang Yuan was an immortal zombie with the lowest cultivation level, his immortal essence stone profits approached the level of rank seven Gu Immortals.
After paying two thousand immortal essence stones, Fang Yuan and Lang Ya land spirit used an information path immortal killer move to form an agreement.
Eventually, Fang Yuan gave the land spirit two Immortal Gu as collateral before he successfully borrowed a set of Immortal Gu used to relocate blessed lands, there were sixteen of them.
Fang Yuan moved without resting, he used Fixed Immortal Travel and returned to Star Form blessed land.
Star Form blessed land had three desolate beast spinefin star dragonfish, Fang Yuan had already seen them before, he did not hesitate, he chose the strongest one.
He first moved around the spinefin star dragonfish, using methods to inspect the dragonfish's size, bone structure, flesh, blood, and other aspects.
After confirming that the spinefin star dragonfish was in a good state, Fang Yuan sat in the air as he shut his eyes while facing the desolate beast.
The spinefin star dragonfish had been tamed since long ago, it obediently floated in the air without moving. Its fish-like eyes that were large as horse carriages shined with some starlight, showing Fang Yuan's reflection from within.
Fang Yuan's was calm, but he gradually started getting excited in his mind.
Countless star thoughts moved like fireflies filling the endless sky, dancing around in the small area of his mind.
These star thoughts split into two portions.
One portion occupied the right part of his mind, forming a three dimensional image of the spinefin star dragonfish.
The other portion was at the left side, forming the image of Star Form blessed land.
After completing this step, Fang Yuan breathed in deeply as he activated his immortal essence, injecting them into the wisdom path Immortal Gu that he had borrowed, and according to the method that the land spirit gave him, he started deducing.
Two lumps of star thoughts flew rapidly, they collided intensely and created a star cloud storm in his mind.
In the storm, countless star thoughts flashed continuously, some joined together while others disintegrated.
One day, two days, three days... in Star Form blessed land, after a total of seven days and six nights, Fang Yuan, who was extremely exhausted, opened his eyes slowly.
One hundred and sixty thousand star thoughts had been used up in his mind. He even spent sixty-six beads of immortal essence to activate the wisdom path Immortal Gu.
After paying such a huge price, Fang Yuan obtained two sets of Gu formation charts.
Among these two Gu formation charts, one was big and one was small.
The bigger Gu formation chart reflected Star Form blessed land, it had eight formation cores. The smaller Gu formation chart reflected the spinefin star dragonfish, there were four formation cores. Each of the formation cores needed a specific Immortal Gu, in total, both Gu formation charts needed twelve Immortal Gu.
-x-X-x-
Fang Yuan started to set up the formation.
In accordance with locations indicated on the Gu formation chart, he found the eight formation cores in Star Form blessed land through Star Form land spirit's guidance, he placed the corresponding Immortal Gu there one by one.
Star Form blessed land had few space path dao marks, the land spirit could not teleport. The eight formation cores were very varied in distance, they were either close by or far away, Fang Yuan spent a lot of time due to this, by the time he finished, he had already spent half a day.
After this step, Fang Yuan, who was vigilant and cautious, inspected these eight formation cores carefully again.
After confirming that there were no issues, Fang Yuan returned to his original spot and placed the chosen spinefin star dragonfish into his own immortal aperture.
Under his orders, Star Form land spirit opened the blessed land's entrance.
Fang Yuan walked out into Earth Abyss.
The blessed land doors were shining with light, but it could only radiate over a small range of land. The inside of Earth Abyss was very dark and silent.
This was a deep part of Earth Abyss, even Ancient Soul Sect, one of the ten great ancient sects of Central Continent, had not explored this deeply yet.
But even though there were no humans here, there were countless hidden desolate beasts, and even ancient desolate beasts, it was very dangerous.
There was no time to waste, Fang Yuan let out the spinefin star dragonfish.
The spinefin star dragonfish had the size of an ordinary whale, but it looked like a carp, its body was covered in blue fish scales. There were bones protruding out of its back, along the spine, extending outwards.
Fang Yuan placed the four Immortal Gu on the body of the spinefin star dragonfish in accordance with the smaller Gu formation chart.
One was in its mouth, one was in a particular bone on its back, one was in the left eye, and the last one was in its stomach.
Even though the spinefin star dragonfish was big, it could not compare to Star Form blessed land.
Fang Yuan only took a short while before his arrangements were completed.
He inspected it carefully again, before Fang Yuan confirmed it: The twelve Immortal Gu had been put in place properly.
He started to scatter countless mortal Gu around the area, there were even one or two Immortal Gu that he tossed out, creating a powerful Gu formation.
Next, he was finally at the most crucial moment of relocating the blessed land.
Fang Yuan followed the method closely, he activated the remaining four Immortal Gu.
Star Form blessed land's doors slowly closed, vanishing into thin air.
Fang Yuan's entire body started to glow in a bright yellow light.
Even though the yellow light was bright, it was not painful to look at, it was a very warm color.
After seventeen breaths of time, the light started to fade, they gathered into Fang Yuan's two eyes.
Fang Yuan breathed in deeply, he willed.
At the next moment, a faint yellow light beam shot out of his right eye, hitting the whale-sized spinefin star dragonfish.
The spinefin star dragonfish's body shook, the small Gu formation that was on its body activated, it shined with a red light.
Under this red light, the spinefin star dragonfish seemed to be wearing red armor.
The entire spinefin star dragonfish was tough like a rock, and did not move, as if it was a statue.
Fang Yuan breathed roughly for some time, next, a yellow light beam shot out of his left eye, directly piercing Star Form blessed land's hidden location.
Under the influence of the light pillar, Star Form blessed land was drawn out, turning into a blue light lump.
The blue light lump was only the size of a large bean, a sharp contrast to the enormous, whale-like spinefin star dragonfish.
The moment that Star Form blessed land was absorbed by this, the green grape immortal essence in Fang Yuan's immortal aperture started to be consumed at a terrifying speed!
Fang Yuan's left eye turned with difficulty, moving the yellow light pillar with it. The yellow light pillar began to slowly move while pulling the blue light lump.
And that spinefin star dragonfish that was now like a stone statue, also moved along with Fang Yuan's right eye, slowly approaching the blessed land.
Rumble, the ground tremored and earth shook.
Roar roar roar, countless ferocious beasts in the darkness roared in panic and fury.
A blessed land's relocation naturally caused intense turbulence in heaven and earth qi. A powerful earthquake was already forming in the depths of the abyss.
Fang Yuan did not care about these trifling details, and poured all his concentration into the spinefin star dragonfish and Star Form blessed land.
An enormous boulder crashed down on his head, but was blocked by his pre-arranged methods.
Fang Yuan was confident he could hold on for some time even if desolate beasts attacked!
He had created an environment that would not allow any disturbance to him for a while.
As if he was moving two large mountains, the two pupils in Fang Yuan's eyes moved slowly. At this moment, both his body and soul were exerting all their strength.
Not much time had passed from when the two lights touched each other.
However, to Fang Yuan, it was like a year had gone by!
The moment when Star Form blessed land and the spinefin star dragonfish touched, Fang Yuan suddenly relaxed, as if he had unloaded an extremely heavy burden.
Fang Yuan's carefully arranged Immortal Gu formations played a crucial role at this moment.
Star Form blessed land was like a wanderer returning home, or a swallow returning to its nest, settling down in the spinefin star dragonfish's body, turning into an immortal aperture inside it!
This was the method Lang Ya land spirit used to relocate blessed lands.
There must be a desolate beast or ancient desolate beast in which the blessed land would be transplanted as an aperture within it.
Afterwards, the desolate beast or ancient desolate beast could bring the immortal aperture wherever they were moved.
However, time was very limited in this transferral process. The desolate beast or ancient desolate beast that held the immortal aperture could not take in any other immortal aperture, and also could not use any Immortal Gu, otherwise it would influence the workings of the Immortal Gu formation on their body.
The specific circumstances were: Fang Yuan could not store this spinefin star dragonfish into his immortal aperture to quickly move it.
At the same time, he also could not use any other Immortal Gu or immortal killer moves to help it.
He could only rely on the spinefin star dragonfish's own physical strength to float and move to another place.
After all, although an immortal aperture was residing inside the spinefin star dragonfish, it was only barely done with the help of the larger and smaller Immortal Gu formations. Even a slight outside influence could cause the Gu formation to collapse, and not only would the relocation of the blessed land fail instantly, the Immortal Gu used could also be destroyed.
But even such a large disadvantage could not conceal the enormous value of this method.
The person who created this relocation method was not Long Hair Ancestor, but was equally famous as Long Hair Ancestor in history.
His name was Old Immortal Kong Jue.
In the long history of Gu Immortals, he was one of the three refinement path supreme grandmasters, a legend of the Remote Antiquity Era.
His research and understanding of apertures and immortal apertures surpassed his time. It was his efforts that allowed those of the ten extreme physiques to advance and become Gu Immortals, forming super grade blessed lands.
Old Immortal Kong Jue named the immortal killer move of relocating blessed lands as the immortal aperture transplantation method.
Up to this point, this was the immortal killer move with the highest number of core Immortal Gu that Fang Yuan had seen.
Nevertheless, this immortal killer move with up to sixteen core Immortal Gu was only an incomplete immortal killer move. Old Immortal Kong Jue's initial thoughts had been to perfectly transplant a Gu Immortal's immortal aperture into a desolate beast or ancient desolate beast's body, unlike the current situation, where they could only rely on the two Gu formations and consume a lot of immortal essence to join the two together with difficulty, and just for a while on top of that.
After Long Hair Ancestor obtained this inheritance of Old Immortal Kong Jue, he also made many attempts to complete it with Old Immortal Kong Jue's research results, but they all ended up in failure.
Under the inspection of the inkman wisdom path Gu Immortal Yi Yan, Long Hair Ancestor discovered this incomplete immortal killer move already had shocking value!
Gu Immortals could use it to relocate the immortal apertures of dead Gu Immortals.
Time passed by, bringing great changes to the world.
Now, countless years later, Fang Yuan was benefiting from this.
"Move, go there." Fang Yuan commanded the spinefin star dragonfish to move.
Because of the disadvantages of the immortal aperture transplantation method, the spinefin star dragonfish's speed was less than half the original speed, and the pressure on the body was huge, as if it was moving with a mountain on its back.
This made the distance the blessed land could be relocated every time limited.
Lang Ya land spirit had moved Lang Ya blessed land, but it should not be far away from the previous location.
This was also one of the reasons Fang Yuan did not move Hu Immortal blessed land.
"Fortunately, Earth Abyss is an extremely good hidden area, it will be a long while in the future before this layer gets exposed and developed. I can use Star Form blessed land as a reliable camp to replenish and recuperate."
"Moreover, I know the disadvantages of the immortal aperture transplantation method, but others don't know. When Hei Lou Lan does not see Star Form blessed land, she might think the blessed land was destroyed. After all, the concept of relocating blessed lands has already surpassed the common knowledge of Gu Immortals!"
Like this, Fang Yuan led the spinefin star dragonfish to move in Earth Abyss.
The path he moved on was naturally according to a elaborately drawn map, which had already gone through large numbers of tests and probing.
He continued to move deep into Earth Abyss, while avoiding many desolate beasts. In the gaps between the territories of desolate beasts and ancient desolate beasts, Fang Yuan slowly moved with the spinefin star dragonfish.
Fang Yuan's destination was three layers down from the original location of Star Form blessed land.
However, after going down two layers, Fang Yuan's luck was used up as he ran into a desolate beast one-eyed giant ape.
The one-eyed ape was extremely vigorous and would often wander around in Earth Abyss. When it discovered the spinefin star dragonfish, it excitedly started a chase.
Fang Yuan began a fierce fight with this one-eyed giant ape, strenuously maintaining the safety of the spinefin star dragonfish.
But in the end, Fang Yuan suffered from having no battlefield killer move, and was unable to effectively restrict the one-eyed giant ape's movement, eventually, partway to their location, the one-eyed giant ape heavily injured the spinefin star dragonfish.
The spinefin star dragonfish was extremely weak while carrying the immortal aperture, it was already using all its strength to move and thus did not have any spare energy to strike back.
Fang Yuan finally drove away this damned one-eyed giant ape, but the spinefin star dragonfish had already been injured heavily and could no longer move.
"Fortunately, the Immortal Gu are unharmed, if anything happened to them, wouldn't I have to compensate Lang Ya until I'm bankrupt?!" After Fang Yuan inspected the condition, his heavy mood eased up.
This was good fortune within misfortune.
Since the situation had already turned this way, Fang Yuan could only choose the second-best option, and place Star Form blessed land nearby.
The moment the immortal aperture was removed, the spinefin star dragonfish completely crumbled, turning into a pool of meat and blood, even its beast soul had dispersed.
This was the necessary sacrifice of the immortal aperture transplantation method, and Fang Yuan had already known this.
Even if the spinefin star dragonfish was not injured, when it reached the destination, it would still die from exhaustion.
Star Form blessed land was successfully relocated, hidden in a completely new area.
Everything was worth it!
-x-X-x-
Fang Yuan entered Star Form blessed land.
Star Form blessed land's heaven and earth qi were greatly affected by the relocation, intense earthquakes occurred in Star Form blessed land.
Only until Star Form blessed land was placed down and started to absorb the endless amount of earth qi did it stabilize, as the earthquakes ceased.
At this moment, Fang Yuan looked over it, the vast landscape was filled with cracks and crevices, dark smoke rose up from burning flames.
Fang Yuan's heart sank slightly, he sighed deeply.
This was something he had no other way to deal with.
Because to transplant the immortal aperture, he could not interrupt the activation of the two Immortal Gu formations. Thus, even if Fang Yuan had methods involving Immortal Gu, he could not use defensive or protection methods on Star Form blessed land.
Lang Ya land spirit had once told Fang Yuan about this, Lang Ya blessed land's losses were far greater than Fang Yuan's Star Form blessed land.
Thus, ordinarily, the blessed land would not be relocated.
"Where is the land spirit?"
Fang Yuan called out.
Star Form land spirit's eyes were red, he did not understand why his master wanted to move.
Under Star Form land spirit's guidance, Fang Yuan started inspecting Star Form blessed land.
He first had to inspect Star Form blessed land's four sources of revenue, the arrow bamboo forest, broken star lake, meteorite pit, and the star fragment grass fields.
Broken star lake's water was flowing along a huge crack, there were piles of seaweed at the bottom of the lake, there was still some water left inside, it had not dried up completely yet.
Landscape as Before!
Fang Yuan took out the Immortal Gu and poured his immortal essence into it.
Landscape as before Immortal Gu gave off a white light, sweeping over the broken star lake.
Immediately, the ground below broken star lake mended, the lake water filled up and returned to its original state. But the loss of seaweed was still going to affect the production of star river Gu for a period of time in the future.
There was nothing inside the water, only seaweed and aquatic plants were floating around. The original palace below the lake was completely destroyed. Landscape as Before could not restore things like man made buildings.
But the fish groups, insect groups, and Gu groups that were inside this lake did not die from the earthquakes. Fang Yuan had moved them into Hu Immortal blessed land long ago.
Fang Yuan's immortal aperture was a dead land, living beings could not live inside for long.
Afterwards, Fang Yuan went to arrow bamboo forest, meteorite pit, and star fragment grass fields to inspect them.
Out of his expectations, arrow bamboo forest was unharmed. Beside the arrow bamboo forest, there were two long cracks, they narrowly grazed the edge of the forest, it was truly a close call.
The arrow bamboo forest was the biggest plantation in Star Form blessed land, Fang Yuan had already collected most of the resources there and kept them in Hu Immortal blessed land.
To think that arrow bamboo forest dodged this crisis, it was truly a stroke of good luck.
But the meteorite pit and the star fragment grass fields were not so lucky. The meteorite pit suffered huge damage, it was nearly unrecognizable. As for the star fragment grass fields, because of the fire, some had been burned into ashes, at first glance, it was a barren land.
Under the effect of Landscape as Before, the meteorite pit was restored to normal, and even the terrain of the star fragment grass field had been restored.
"Landscape as before Immortal Gu is truly useful, with it, my losses shrunk by at least eighty percent! And since I already moved out most of my resources beforehand, Star Form blessed land only suffered a minor loss in the end, even though there was huge destruction that occurred."
Fang Yuan thought as he looked around, he used Landscape as Before to restore the landscape of Star Form blessed land, but that expended a lot of green grape immortal essence.
He did not repair everything, he left some cracks in the ground as they had been.
He had a stroke of inspiration: "Maybe I can use this chance and turn the cracks in the ground into river channels, creating a network that can spread throughout the entirety of Star Form blessed land. But Star Form blessed land has a unique terrain, as for how I can make this a reality, I will need to use the light of wisdom and think over it."
Next, Fang Yuan used Fixed Immortal Travel and went to Lang Ya land spirit, returning the Immortal Gu back to Lang Ya land spirit.
Lang Ya land spirit returned the Immortal Gu that had been held as collateral to Fang Yuan as he said: "If you need to relocate anything else, you can find me again."
After all, he had earned a huge sum just now, in a short time, he earned more than two thousand immortal essence stones.
Lang Ya land spirit continued: "If you join my Lang Ya sect, and become a supreme elder, in the future when you relocate your blessed land, I can give you a huge discount when borrowing Immortal Gu!"
"I will think about it." Fang Yuan replied half-heartedly.
He had only wanted to obtain benefits from Lang Ya land spirit, he did not want to be tied together with these hairy men.
Once he joined, he would be unable to go away, he would lose his freedom. He would not make such a stupid decision.
Next, Fang Yuan used Fixed Immortal Travel and entered Tai Bai Yun Sheng's immortal aperture, returning Landscape as Before to him.
In the immortal aperture, Fang Yuan asked about Eastern Sea's information from Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng told him that Song Yi Shi and the others were searching for him all over the place, some people had approached Tai Bai Yun Sheng as a result.
"Looking at the situation, our relationship would be exposed in a short while." Fang Yuan muttered.
"I suggest that you contact Shark Demon and join Eastern Sea Zombie Alliance. Relying on Zombie Alliance, you will be able to resolve this." Tai Bai Yun Sheng said.
Fang Yuan was not anxious, his plan was unaffected by external pressure, he shook his head: "It is still not time yet, there are still more than ten days from the next attack on Yu Lu blessed land, let's wait and see."
Hu Immortal blessed land, tens of days later.
Underground cave.
Bathed in the light of wisdom, Fang Yuan opened his eyes, letting out a breath of turbid air.
"I still failed after all." He muttered, standing up slowly.
He was sitting down on a small mushroom stump, he used it as a stool.
But such short stumps were very rare now.
Right now, the underground cave was a huge zhi forest, these lingzhi were very different from before, not only were they tall and thick, they were red in color. This was because of Hu Immortal blessed land's seventh earthly calamity, the blood poison kerria flowers, because of that opportunity, the ordinary zhi forest became a blood zhi forest.
Hu Immortal blessed land's soil was originally not suited for the growth of zhi forests, but now it has become a blood zhi forest, it could grow very well.
But this zhi forest would need one or two hundred years to expand and growing into a true forest, by creating more space and pushing aside the soil and rocks.
Fang Yuan did not have much expectations towards this blood zhi forest, he was not going to invest into it.
These last days, Fang Yuan had neither slept nor rested, he was putting in all his effort into developing Star Form blessed land.
Once his identity was exposed, everyone would know that he was the culprit behind the collapse of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building. Hu Immortal blessed land would have to be given up, Star Form blessed land would become his only base by then.
By that point, if Fang Yuan was still an immortal zombie and had not revived, Star Form blessed land would have an even more important role to Fang Yuan, having immense value and use.
Thus, Fang Yuan's focus had already shifted from Hu Immortal blessed land to Star Form blessed land.
As for the plan of developing Star Form blessed land, Fang Yuan had already thought about it dozens of days ago using the light of wisdom.
According to his earlier inspiration, he would build a huge river system in Star Form blessed land, the actual plan after deducing it properly was grander. The entire water river system would not only be on the ground, he would even encompass the sky into it, he was going to create a huge three dimensional river system.
This made use of Star Form blessed land's unique terrain.
Star Form blessed land had a depression at the center, while having high altitude around the sides, it resembled the shape of a bowl.
If he only built a river system on the ground, all of the water would flow towards the center. But if this was three dimensional, the water from the center would be drawn into the sky, it would flow towards the edges of the blessed land, and form a grand system for water to flow.
As for the way to create rivers in the sky, Fang Yuan had deduced the cheapest and easiest method, that was cloud soil.
Cloud soil was also used by Lang Ya land spirit to forcefully create a cloud continent in the sky of Lang Ya blessed land.
Fang Yuan intended to use the cloud soil to create many river channels, along these rivers, the fertile cloud soil would have countless star fragment grass growing on them.
The soil that the star fragment grass grew in was the cloud soil. Star Lord Wan Xiang had no choice but to plant them in black soil., as he did not have enough financial ability to bulk purchase cloud soil. But Star Form blessed land's environment was very suited for star fragment grass to grow. This caused the growth rates of star fragment grass to be higher in Star Form blessed land than Hu Immortal blessed land!
Fang Yuan's plan was beautiful, but reality was cruel.
Fang Yuan lacked a huge amount of funds, he had just accumulated two thousand immortal essence stones but he had passed them to Lang Ya land spirit. Thus, these days, he could only repair the four sources of revenue in Star Form blessed land.
Arrow bamboo forest had grown to its best condition, emitting a light fog under the use of large amounts of moon well water.
Meteorite pit and broken star lake had been fully restored.
The star fragment grass fields were more troublesome, but after Fang Yuan used the killer move spring star rain several times, they were growing quickly as well.
Ever since he obtained the star path inheritance and gained star shoot Immortal Gu, spring star rain had turned into an immortal killer move, its effect was dozens of times better than before!
As for the dragonfish, eerie fire dragon pythons, regretful spiders, and Dang Hun Mountain inside Hu Immortal blessed land, they were not moved over yet.
Firstly, he needed to develop the place for now, and finalize a proper water flow system before relocating the dragonfish.
Secondly, Star Form blessed land was facing its heavenly tribulation soon!
Why was Star Lord Wan Xiang so anxious to explore Starry Sky grotto-heaven?
It was because the heavenly tribulation was approaching.
He was a rank six Gu Immortal with one heavenly tribulation passed, he was facing the second one soon.
Because he battled with Song Zi Xing and was gravely injured, he lost confidence in surviving the tribulation, he had to expose the secret of Starry Sky grotto-heaven and drag Shi Lei in to explore Starry Sky grotto-heaven together.
Fang Yuan was still hesitating over if he should move all these resources away before the heavenly tribulation struck.
Leaving the underground cave, Fang Yuan returned to Dang Hun palace.
Gu Yue Fang Zheng, who was held captive all along, seemed to have resigned himself to fate, his eyes were hollow as he sat in the prison cell without moving.
Evidently, the truth of Immortal Crane Sect attempting to kill him, and his master Lord Sky Crane trying to possess him were very impactful news towards him.
According to his usual habits, Fang Yuan stood before him and said some words.
Gu Yue Fang Zheng did not move at all, his expression was numb, as if he did not hear a word.
-x-X-x-
Fang Yuan was not anxious, as long as Gu Yue Fang Zheng was eating food, it meant that he had the will to live. As for how to change his mindset, and alter his perspective, so that Fang Zheng would view Fang Yuan more favorably, it was a long process, there was no need to rush.
Afterwards, Fang Yuan came to another secret room and inspected Dong Fang Chang Fan's soul.
He had many souls of immortals now, there was Dong Fang Chang Fan, featherman Gu Immortal Zheng Ling, Snowy Mountain's Xue Song Zi, as well as the Eastern Sea lone cultivator Yao Ge Pi.
These last days, other than developing Star Form blessed land, he had been searching these souls. Currently, he had searched all of their souls already, he gained a lot of benefits.
But what truly made Fang Yuan 'crave for more' was Dong Fang Chang Fan's soul.
Once in a while, Fang Yuan would search his soul.
It was no exception this time.
After the soul search, Dong Fang Chang Fan's soul suddenly spoke: "My memories have been read by you countless times, but recently, when you conduct soul searches, you will always check the memories regarding the dismantling of battlefield killer moves in my soul. It seems that you have encountered an inheritance, or have faced a strong foe that requires you to unravel a battlefield killer move."
Towards Dong Fang Chang Fan's words, Fang Yuan was slightly taken aback, he replied frankly: "That's right. These last days, I have been studying your wisdom path inheritance, especially the details about resolving battlefield killer moves. Combined with my experiences and your memories, I will gain a lot of insight each time."
Soul searching was like reading a book, but one was reading the memories in the soul instead. But like reading a book, there was no way to memorize every single small detail accurately. One thorough soul search was like reading a book from start to finish, you would learn about the contents of the book only. With constant revision, one would learn in-depth about the information, and would obtain more knowledge from it.
Dong Fang Chang Fan's soul smiled: "Have you thought about it, I can actually help you. You re just a wisdom path newbie, no matter how much you revise and read through, the gains that you can have are limited. Meanwhile, my wisdom path attainment is much higher, as long as you give me a body, I will be able to make deductions for you and help you think of solutions. Isn't this a good idea? You can use information path methods to restrict me, I will be your most capable assistant."
"That is a good idea indeed." Fang Yuan nodded, he smiled faintly: "But I will not do that, forget about it. Even after being left with a soul, you are still not giving up, it seems that I have not given you a thorough lesson yet."
Fang Yuan's smile turned into a sinister sneer.
Dozens of Gu worms moved with his will, activating.
"Ah—!" Dong Fang Chang Fan's soul shook intensely, the cell was full of his anguished cries.
This punishment lasted for two hours, the pain in the soul was much more intense than in the body, Dong Fang Chang Fan was definitely taught a good lesson.
Fang Yuan obviously did not waste time there, he left long ago and went to two other secret rooms.
In one room, there was the rank seven featherman Gu Immortal Zheng Ling's soul, in the other room, there was Xue Song Zi's soul.
Even though these two Gu Immortals were not wisdom path Gu Immortals during their lives, they had memories regarding battlefield killer moves as well.
Even though they did not have wisdom path techniques, one was wind path and the other was snow path, they had their own unique methods to deal with battlefield killer moves. These memories were useful as references for Fang Yuan.
What was worth noting was, both their souls had been searched multiple times by Fang Yuan already.
From Xue Song Zi's soul, Fang Yuan learned that he had kept a fortune in Snowy Mountain blessed land. In his mountain peak, there were a number of snowmen, as well as plants related to snow pines there.
But Fang Yuan did not dare to take them.
Old Ancestor Xue Hu's capabilities were unfathomable, Fang Yuan did not have much confidence in vaguely familiar face. He could not tell Fairy Li Shan about Xue Song Zi's death either.
Why?
Because Fairy Li Shan and Xue Song Zi were both members of Snowy Mountain, they were allies. After learning that Fang Yuan killed Xue Song Zi, even if Fairy Li Shan did not deal with Fang Yuan, she would have to inform Old Ancestor Xue Hu due to the alliance agreement.
Meanwhile, from Zheng Ling's soul, Fang Yuan also made some gains. He obtained a complete wind path inheritance from Zheng Ling, as well as the immortal killer move heavenly wish, along with precious information regarding the Immortal Gu House, Sacred Feather City, and the green heaven fragment world that the feathermen lived in.
This world was huge, there was a lot of resources inside, after Fang Yuan learned about it, he almost drooled.
Even though he knew about the scenery in the green heaven fragment world, such that Fang Yuan could use Fixed Immortal Travel to get there, but since that place was currently occupied by White Sea Shatuo and other Gu Immortals, it was like a lion's den. Fang Yuan would not take the risk easily.
After coming out from the secret room, Fang Yuan received Tai Bai Yun Sheng's transmission, he said: I have already met up with Shark Demon and the others.
Fang Yuan used Fixed Immortal Travel and teleported into Tai Bai Yun Sheng's immortal aperture before coming out of it.
At the next moment, Xing Xiang Zi appeared before Shark Demon and the others.
"Come, let me introduce you, this is the 'world famous' Xing Xiang Zi." Shark Demon laughed as he introduced enthusiastically.
Fang Yuan showed a bitter smile: "Lord Shark Demon, please don't make fun of me... sigh."
Saying so, tiny explosions occurred over Fang Yuan's body, it was as if firecrackers had been ignited on his body.
Fang Yuan's expression did not change, his body shook as hundreds of mortal Gu on his body fell out.
None of these mortal Gu survived, some were torn to shreds from this explosion.
"Hehehe, Xing Xiang Zi, you offended Song clan, this wisdom path mortal killer move cannot conceal your traces." Behind Shark Demon, an elderly Gu Immortal spoke.
Another skinny middle aged female Gu Immortal had an arrogant expression as she said with disdain: "That's right. Right now, among the three most capable wisdom path Gu Immortals in Eastern Sea, one of them is Song clan's Song Jia Dan. If you only have these methods, you will be exposed soon."
The last person was unfamiliar, he wore a golden robe and had a fat body, he looked like a rich person as he smiled and expressed goodwill towards Fang Yuan: "Jia Dan sits in twin polar, Hua An hides in Nan Gong, there is also Dragon Head Tortoise, living inside adversity sea. This refers to the three best wisdom path experts in Eastern Sea. Among them, Song Jia Dan ranks the highest, he sacrificed himself for his clan and fused himself into the world of Eastern Sea itself. As long as it is within Eastern Sea, he can deduce it accurately, this is very scary. Even if sir hides in someone's immortal aperture, you will only delay the timing, you will be found eventually."
Xing Xiang Zi nodded, he cupped his fists towards the three Gu Immortals: "I have been enlightened, thank you for the information."
The mortal Gu that died were his defensive wisdom path methods, to protect him against others' deductions.
But the moment Fang Yuan stepped into Eastern Sea, these defensive measures self-detonated, one could see how skilled Song Jia Dan was from this.
"Alright, brother Xing Xiang, let me introduce you." Shark Demon referred to the elderly Gu Immortal with his hand: "This is the demonic path Gu Immortal Ninth Ghost Finger, he cultivates soul path mainly and wisdom path on the side."
Shark Demon shifted to the arrogant middle aged female Gu Immortal: "This is the wisdom path Gu Immortal Xie Shu Fang, Master Xie."
Finally, he talked about the smiling fat Gu Immortal: "This is 'Big Bag' Lu Tan Xin, he mainly cultivates space path, but he has wisdom path attainment as well."
"It is my honor to meet all three of you." Fang Yuan cupped his fists again, having a humble attitude.
The middle aged female Gu Immortal Xie Shu Fang said coldly: "Meeting you is my misfortune. You offended Song clan, don't think you can escape. Right now, you are still scot-free, that is because Song clan did not go all out to find you, as they are busy fighting for Ascending Heaven Plain and have no time for you. I would advise you to surrender to Song clan, burdening me is one thing, but if you burden everyone and cause our Yu Lu blessed land invasion to be obstructed, you will be doing everyone a disservice."
Her words were very rude, many Gu Immortals heard it and had a change of expression. They were not worried about Xie Shu Fang's words, instead, they were worried that Xing Xiang Zi might feel insulted and create a conflict among themselves, creating internal strife.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng's expression turned grim, while Bo Dan felt secretly joyful seeing that Fang Yuan was insulted.
Fang Yuan gave Xie Shu Fang a look, he thought that this Gu Immortal was probably in the righteous path, resulting in such a poor attitude towards himself.
Fang Yuan was joyful instead of angry, he continued from her words: "Master Xie is right, Song clan is a super force, they have such great influence, how could I defend against them? Thus, I have decided, Lord Shark Demon, I would like your help in joining Zombie Alliance, do you think I can avoid this trouble if I join?"
Xie Shu Fang was stunned, in her impression, Northern Plains Gu Immortals were very rash and arrogant, why was he being so mild?
Shark Demon was the first to react, he laughed loudly: "Of course you can. Brother Xing Xiang is a great talent, joining Zombie Alliance is a good idea. I can assure you, you will join Zombie Alliance smoothly. As long as you did not defile Song Yi Shi, we can back you up in this matter, and support you as we negotiate with Song clan."
"Then I will thank Lord Shark Demon first." Fang Yuan's face was full of helplessness and bitterness: "Don't worry Lord Shark Demon, I had accidentally entered the bottom of the volcano and saw that Fairy Yi Shi bathing, that was the cause of this crisis, sigh..."
Fang Yuan sighed deeply, he showed a look of feeling upset over a great misfortune that he did not intend for.
Bo Dan's expression became very dark.
Shark Demon laughed loudly: "I believe brother Xing Xiang Zi, come, let's go and break that fighting soul battlefield!"
After entering Yu Lu blessed land, everyone entered fighting soul battlefield again.
In a dark and gloomy area, dark clouds were looming as a thunderstorm approached, intense winds blew and a sandstorm was blowing. Soul beasts formed in the sandstorm, they grew in numbers and charged towards Fang Yuan and the others without stopping.
Fang Yuan, Bo Dan, and the others had started deducing the battlefield the moment they entered, they displayed all their methods and techniques.
Because of their earlier probing, they had found out, the key to this round was not traps or difficulty, it was the immense time needed to find all the Gu worms.
Seven minutes later, ancient soul beasts would start to form, it would be best if they dismantled this fighting soul battlefield before seven minutes!
-x-X-x-
This was a race against time!
If Shark Demon and the others could not hold off the soul beasts, then this invasion would end in failure again.
If the Gu Immortals could unravel the battlefield killer move before that, they would obtain victory.
Boom!
Fang Yuan waved his sleeves, a wisdom path mortal killer move was used, he destroyed seven to eight hidden Gu worms.
Earlier, when he targeted this fighting soul battlefield killer move, he could only destroy five to six hidden Gu worms at once. But now, he could destroy seven to eight. This showed that during this time, he had been hiding in Hu Immortal blessed land, practicing and learning to improve his wisdom path techniques.
But Fang Yuan was not satisfied: "This kind of self-directed learning is too limited in terms of improvement. To increase my rate of deducing this battlefield killer move, I need Immortal Gu. It is a pity, even though I have a wisdom path Immortal Gu, Unravel Mystery, I cannot use it to deal with battlefield killer moves."
Unravel mystery Immortal Gu's effect was to help a Gu Immortal think and solve puzzles and mysteries. If the battlefield killer move was treated as a puzzle, then unravel mystery Immortal Gu would be very helpful in unraveling battlefield killer moves.
But simply unravel mystery Immortal Gu alone could not do anything to battlefield killer moves.
Fang Yuan used the light of wisdom and intended to use unravel mystery Immortal Gu as the core to deduce a simple immortal killer move that could unravel battlefield killer moves.
But unfortunately, even though Fang Yuan had been trying hard, up until the point when he had to come to Eastern Sea, he did not succeed.
Deducing an immortal killer move was very difficult.
Normally speaking, even if rank eight Gu Immortals wanted to deduce a brand new immortal killer move, they would need to spend years.
And every so often, their foundations would be insufficient, until their deaths, they would not be able to complete the immortal killer move.
Thus, Fang Yuan also had many incomplete immortal killer moves in the inheritances that he had obtained.
Even though Fang Yuan's star path attainment level was ordinary, relying on wisdom Gu, he could completely deduce some incomplete immortal killer moves, that resulted in star fire escape and projected star thought.
But now, he wanted to deduce a brand new wisdom path killer move without any foundation, this was out of Fang Yuan's abilities.
Even with the light of wisdom, his wisdom path attainment level was ordinary, this was his greatest drawback, it was holding him back.
"Actually, unravel mystery Immortal Gu and the unraveling of battlefield killer moves are very closely related. As long as my wisdom path attainment level reaches master level, I will be able to design a new wisdom path immortal killer move specially used to unravel battlefield killer moves."
Fang Yuan had estimated this inwardly long ago.
But now, even though he felt some regret, he was not anxious at all.
Since Shark Demon had promised him publicly to recommend him to Zombie Alliance, there was little chance that he would go back on his words.
Even if this attempt to unravel fighting soul battlefield fails, Fang Yuan would not be implicated.
Fang Yuan would had achieved his goal, that was to join Eastern Sea Zombie Alliance.
"In fact, from another perspective, to express my value to Shark Demon, so that it would benefit me, battlefield killer moves like fighting soul battlefield should take as long to deduce as possible."
If he completely deduced these battlefield killer moves, and Yu Lu blessed land was taken down, Fang Yuan would receive little benefits from it. He might as well drag the time out and wait for himself to get stronger, he might get a bigger share of the profits then.
Fang Yuan continued to move his hands, he was calm as he observed the situation secretly with his peripheral vision.
He did not need to observe Bo Dan, he was doing the same, trying his best to deduce, but he could only destroy one hidden Gu worm at once, he made barely any progress towards this situation.
Fang Yuan's focus was on the three new Gu Immortals. They had wisdom path techniques in one way or another, they were invited by Shark Demon for this purpose.
The one closest to Fang Yuan was the elderly Gu Immortal, demonic path Gu Immortal Ninth Ghost Finger.
Right now, he was lowering his head and looking at his hands. His ten fingers were intact, but when he moved his fingers rapidly, only nine fingers could be seen in the silhouettes.
His wisdom path inheritance was very unique, the missing finger represented the 'one in the Great Dao' that fled, it was the most profound heavenly secret.
Ninth Ghost Finger moved his fingers, they danced in the air like phantom spirits, he chanted in an unknown language that no one could understand.
At the same time, all sorts of mortal Gu flew out of his immortal aperture.
These mortal Gu flew into the air and self-detonated, revealing the hidden locations of Gu around the area.
Some mortal Gu only destroyed one spot, while some mortal Gu destroyed seven to eight hidden Gu worms. On average, his speed was slightly slower than Fang Yuan, but his wisdom path attainment level was definitely higher.
Fang Yuan looked at Big Bag Lu Tan Xin.
The title of Big Bag was very interesting, Fang Yuan guessed that since he was a space path Gu Immortal, did Big Bag mean that he had incredibly skilled storage techniques?
But normally speaking, Gu Immortals who mainly cultivate space path have a lot of space path dao marks, their immortal aperture would also be much larger than ordinary Gu Immortals' immortal apertures.
Right now, Lu Tan Xin's eyes had turned into vertical pupils, they were like cat's eyes as he investigated continuously.
His fat hands turned golden and oily, the aura that leaked from it displayed to others that this was a top tier mortal killer move.
Lu Tan Xin first observed for a few breaths of time before striking.
He stretched out a golden hand and aimed at one point, pointing a finger.
This movement seemed to have expended a lot of his energy, soon, he was breathing roughly and panting.
But after each time he pointed, at the corresponding direction, large numbers of hidden Gu worms would be destroyed, turning into golden dust that scattered.
Every strike of Lu Tan Xin's destroyed eight hidden Gu worms.
But his speed was very slow.
His attacks needed investigation beforehand, and he had to take several breaths of time to prepare it, it was very exhausting. The more tired he got, the slower his attacks became.
Thus, in conclusion, Lu Tan Xin was slower than Ninth Ghost Finger.
It could be seen that Shark Demon's evaluation was on point. When Shark Demon introduced Lu Tan Xin, he said that he had wisdom path attainment. When he introduced Ninth Ghost Finger, he said that he cultivated wisdom path on the side. Meanwhile, Shark Demon also placed much focus on Gu Immortal Xie Shu Fang, as a person mainly cultivating wisdom path, she was undoubtedly the most capable among the three.
Fang Yuan looked at Xie Shu Fang next.
As expected!
Xie Shu Fang stood in the air arrogantly, two streams of yellow and white vapor were blowing out of her nose continuously.
The yellow and white streams of vapor moved extremely quickly, they moved a round in the air, destroying up to a hundred hidden mortal Gu.
After destroying these Gu worms, the yellow and white streams became thinner, but when they returned to Xie Shu Fang's nostrils and were breathed out again, they regained their power and become unstoppable again.
Heaviness flashed across Fang Yuan's eyes secretly.
These two streams of yellow and white vapor had incredible power, this was surely an immortal killer move.
The power of an immortal killer move was much greater than the mortal killer moves that Fang Yuan had.
Fang Yuan sighed to himself internally: "My wisdom path attainment level is insufficient, I cannot use unravel mystery Immortal Gu properly, so be it, attainment levels can only normally be accumulated through long periods of time. But if I have star thought Immortal Gu, according to Dong Fang Chang Fan's wisdom path inheritance, I will be able to use at least three wisdom path immortal killer moves to destroy battlefield killer moves. Among them, two are even stronger than this yellow and white vapor, by at least five to six times!"
The wisdom path inheritance from Dong Fang Chang Fan was more refined than the one Xie Shu Fang had.
Fang Yuan wanted to obtain star thought Immortal Gu the most now.
On one hand, he had a huge need for star thoughts. One Fang Yuan stone nest in Hu Immortal blessed land was refining star thought Gu all the time now. If he had star thought Immortal Gu, he would be able to use this stone nest for the production of airsac Gu, increasing its scale and earning more immortal essence stones for Fang Yuan.
On the other hand, star thought Immortal Gu was one of the two cores of the immortal killer move star fog concealment.
Star fog concealment had a similar effect to dark limit Immortal Gu.
It could defend against other people's deductions, making their deductions unclear and inaccurate regarding the truth.
Dong Fang Chang Fan's wisdom path inheritance had many top tier mortal killer moves, Fang Yuan had used them, but facing people like Song Jia Dan, there was no way to defend against his deductions using them.
Once Fang Yuan stepped into Eastern Sea, the mortal Gu that he had used instantly self-detonated, the defensive mortal killer moves collapsed in no time.
Evidently, if Fang Yuan really became a fugitive in the future and was hunted down by everyone, countless people would be deducing his whereabouts. Then, he would need an immortal killer move to protect himself against others' deductions.
It could be seen that mortal killer moves, even if they were top tier, would have no use no matter how many there were.
There was a qualitative difference between immortal and mortal.
"But to refine star thought Immortal Gu, there are many difficulties. Firstly, the issue of funding, I have just spent two thousand immortal essence stones, the money I have on hand currently is limited. Even if I have enough, to purchase all of the immortal materials, I will need enough time and luck. Also, my success dao mark was used up already to refine change form Immortal Gu. Even if I prepare adequately, if I am unlucky, and encounter the failure rate, I would fail to refine star thought Immortal Gu."
"As for other people refining star thought Immortal Gu, the possibility is very small, after all, Dong Fang Chang Fan only self-detonated star thought Immortal Gu not too long ago."
Time passed, seven minutes had gone by already.
In fighting soul battlefield, ancient soul beasts appeared again.
A continuous stream of soul beasts encircled Fang Yuan and the others from all directions.
Compared to the dark swamp of soul beasts, Fang Yuan and the others were like sesame seeds on a pancake!
However, Shark Demon and the others were not desperate, they had intent to fight and anticipation.
That was because Fang Yuan and the others were close to succeeding in dismantling the battlefield killer move.
"All or nothing!" Shark Demon gritted his teeth, he knew that he had to stake it all now, he activated the incomplete Profound Ice House without hesitation.
The incomplete Profound Ice House took in everyone as it rushed out of the soul beast army by charging forward.
It charged unhindered, tearing countless soul beasts to shreds, even the desolate beast level soul beasts could not stop the rampaging Profound Ice House.
Bam bam bam!
Ancient soul beasts had enough strength, they surrounded Profound Ice House and attacked ruthlessly.
Immortal essence was expended intensely, Shark Demon, Su Bai Man and the others' expressions turned pale!
