Chapter 1106: Plan
“I should put the matter about Chaos Godfiends aside first. Now that my Undying Demon Body is ready, I should hunt otherworldly demons to plunder their natural source and further improve my body so that I can break through to the next realm!”
The Torch Dragon clone stood up. “It’s time to go to the Great Sage Immortal World!”
The first reason was that he had killed most of the otherworldly demons within the Sixteen Countries and turned them into Dao Comprehension Stones. This place could no longer provide him with much help.
Second, he had to deliver the remaining half of the Primordial Godfiend origin crystal to his main body.
This was one of the malpractices of the Undying Demon Body and the Nine Refining Demon Physique. After all, even Grand Unity Immortals found it hard to obtain a complete Primordial Godfiend origin crystal. Without one to get started, he was naturally unable to cultivate it.
Even if his main body had attained the status of a core disciple of the Golden Soul Sect, it was a far-fetched dream to want a Primordial Godfiend origin crystal.
Therefore, the Torch Dragon clone had intentionally left half for his main body.
“Although we share all techniques, realms, and experiences, the harsh requirements are exactly the same…” Fang Yuan sighed. “Fortunately, only half a Primordial Godfiend origin crystal is needed to get started… Staggering for a longer time will allow me to experiment more proficiently with the technique and avoid detours in the future!”
With a thought, he left the Thirty-Three-Level Outer Heaven Tower and rushed toward the Great Sage Immortal World.
Originally, he had his clone and main body stay in two different places for safety, leaving a second chance for himself.
But now, he naturally could not care too much about this anymore. Additionally, given the vastness of the Great Sage Immortal World, there were plenty of places to do so again after meeting up.
The only pity was that he could not bring the Outer Heaven Tower away. Fang Yuan estimated that he had to be at least an Immortal before he could perhaps attempt to move this treasure and bring it around on him as he wished like the Pantheon Palace.
…
“Junior Brother Li Hun, you’re finally out!”
Point Gold Peak, Golden Soul Sect. Not too long after Fang Yuan left seclusion, Tie Xinku and Huang Yue arrived in front of him.
“Because of some slight gains, I lost track of time…” Fang Yuan smiled, as this secluded cultivation’s harvest was truly not small. “Why are you two looking for me? Did something important happen?”
As a core disciple of the Golden Soul Sect, he could avoid the initial missions and successfully evade the early stages of the demon disaster.
Although all the other Golden Soul Sect’s disciples would despise them for that, it was also a way.
Moreover, core disciples would receive a Dao Comprehension Stone every year and have plenty of precious resources allocated to them. The fact that these two were not cultivating hard in their cave abodes but came to find him meant that something must have happened.
“Indeed! If Junior Brother had continued to stay in secluded cultivation, we might have had to crash your seclusion!” Tie Xinku said. “It’s a huge matter!”
“Oh? Please tell me…” Fang Yuan invited the two to have a seat and ordered the servants to serve tea. “I also want to know what was so important that the two of you were willing to give up the decades of peace in the sect…”
Because of the demon disaster, the Sixteen Countries had almost become an empty land. If it were not for Fang Yuan’s intervention, a few strongholds such as Qingfeng City would not have survived. The frightening bloodthirst during a demon disaster turned everyone beneath Immortal into ants. And even the unlucky Immortals might meet a Primordial Godfiend or suffer a siege by numerous otherworldly demons, both of which were extremely dangerous.
The Holy Land sects were rare lands of peace, and Tie Xinku and the others had earned this core disciple status after countless blood-soaked battles.
However, since they wanted to move, it was highly likely that they were going to leave the mountain and face grave dangers! There certainly had to be matching benefits!
However, this was perfect for Fang Yuan since he did not want to reveal his clone.
It would be much easier if they could meet outside the sect.
“Haha. As cultivators, we have to fight against the heavens and take some risks…” Tie Xinku smiled. “Of course, the danger that we’ll face this time isn’t high, but the rewards are very generous! Furthermore, we might even find genuine backing!”
“Oh? Which core disciple extended this invitation?” Fang Yuan’s eyes twinkled.
Tie Xinku had pulled him and Huang Yue together to create the image of a three-man team, construct an influence, and become a great force that others could rope in.
Now, it seemed like he had finally found a client to his liking and wanted to sell himself.
It had to be said that only these tail-end core disciples should do this. If they could rely on the future sect master, they would definitely be able to secure the position and title of an elder to ride roughshod over people.
Fang Yuan naturally did not care about these things, but he knew that he should not be too independent and unconventional, so he had gone along with Tie Xinku and Huang Yue.
But unexpectedly, they came to a conclusion so quickly.
“Has Junior Brother heard of Senior Brother Qiu Tianfeng?” Indeed, Huang Yue could not wait to speak.
“The number one core disciple? The disciple who once fought equally against an Immortal?” Fang Yuan raised his brows. “I’ve heard that this person has reached the sixth transference of the Nine Transference Undying Method…”
The sixth transference of the Nine Transference Undying Method meant that his body was comparable to a top-grade immortal artifact. Even some Immortals would have difficulty destroying a body at this level. With this foundation, after becoming an Immortal, he would definitely be among the top Immortals!
Qiu Tianfeng was naturally well-known within the Golden Soul Sect, and he was regarded as the most promising candidate to take over as sect master.
With this thought, Fang Yuan’s gaze on Tie Xinku changed slightly. Even though they were all core disciples, they were the lowest-ranking ones. Their status compared to Qiu Tianfeng was like the difference between heaven and earth. It must have been tough for him to seek this connection.
“We got lucky this time. We went to the sixteenth core disciple senior brother’s residence for a banquet, and Senior Brother Qiu was coincidentally there. He came across a matter and urgently needed manpower, so we boldly offered our help, and he actually agreed.” Tie Xinku smiled.
“What matter is so serious that this senior brother can’t handle by himself and needs our help? An otherworldly demon mission?” Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes.
“If it’s going to be extremely dangerous, how could it have been good for us?” Huang Yue grinned. “I wonder if Junior Brother has heard about the Mount Mengyan Holy Land.”
“This… I think I’ve read about it in some ancient books. Why?” Fang Yuan’s frame of mind was so extraordinary that he could maintain his expression even if the sky collapsed.
“The descent of the otherworldly demons is a great tribulation. When facing such tribulations, heaven and earth will automatically drop a lot of opportunities, allowing us cultivators to improve our strength quickly… There are even rumors that during a demon disaster, the danger of undergoing your lightning tribulation will be slightly less than usual!” Tie Xinku said. “This time, Senior Brother Qiu Tianfeng was fortunate enough to have found a fragment of Mount Mengyan!”
“I see!” Fang Yuan nodded.
The Thirty-Three-Level Outer Heaven Tower was only a part of Mount Mengyan, similar to the relationship between the Golden Soul Realm and Golden Mount Meru.
A place specialized in testing disciples was naturally quite different from the residences of core disciples and elders.
This Qiu Tianfeng was truly fortunate.
However, if it were a complete relic of the sect, it should not have fallen into the hands of a junior who was not even an Immortal.
Therefore, his discovery should only be a small part. Compared to the complete Outer Heaven Tower, it was hard to say which was more valuable.
“Mount Mengyan was famous for producing Dao Comprehension Stones. As core disciples, we only receive one each year. Rumor has it that core disciples of Mount Mengyan had received ten each…”
Tie Xinku’s envious look made Fang Yuan realize that the Dao Comprehension Pond within his Outer Heaven Tower was much more valuable than he had imagined.
If Elder Tai Xuan knew about the existence of this pond, he probably would not have let it go so easily.
“And then?” Fang Yuan was inwardly pleased and wanted to hear more.
“That fragment is very huge and was certainly a core place of Mount Mengyan… Senior Brother Qiu merely explored the periphery casually and found a few immortal artifacts and tens of Dao Comprehension Stones!” Tie Xinku said. “But that fragment has already turned into an extremely unstable mysterious realm, preventing Immortals from entering. Moreover, the restrictions within are incredibly strong, and any ordinary Nascent Soul cultivations would definitely die if they enter…”
“Therefore, it is most suitable for core disciples like us to explore?” Fang Yuan understood.
“That’s right! Senior Brother Qiu has agreed to bring us along and split thirty percent of the gains with us. Additionally, he agreed to accept us into his group!”
Huang Yue’s eyes were full of excitement. “We leave three days later, and we’ve already agreed on your behalf. What do you think?”
Her words sounded extremely confident, as though she had never thought that Fang Yuan would reject.
“…” Regarding this young lady who felt so good about herself, Fang Yuan was speechless.
However, he did need an excuse to go out. Besides, it would be truly odd if he rejected such a massive opportunity. “Thank you, you two… But we’re in the middle of a demon disaster, what about the safety aspect?”
“Junior Brother Li Hun, you don’t need to worry. We’ve already considered it! The emergency measures imposed by the sect means we can’t leave without a mission. But as core disciples, we can take the initiative to accept missions. The mysterious realm discovered is near one of the ten main cities, Yanyang City. There is a large protective array there, as well as a Grand Unity elder and a thousand Immortals. As long as we’re not too unlucky, we should be pretty safe.” Tie Xinku seemed to have considered everything.
“At that time, we can accept the mission to guard Yanyang City, which only lasts ten years. According to Senior Brother Qiu’s prediction, the next time the mysterious realm opens is in three to five years…”
“In that case, I have no reason to reject! Of course, I’ll head there with you!” Fang Yuan directly agreed.
Truthfully speaking, he was quite interested in this mysterious realm formed by a fragment of Mount Mengyan.
After all, he had benefited from a remnant left behind by Mount Mengyan. In fact, after passing the trial of the Outer Heaven Tower, he could be considered the final disciple of Mount Mengyan.
However, regardless of more treasures or techniques, they are all useless for me now. If I don’t transcend my lightning tribulation and become Immortal, everything is useless!
Now, I’ll go to Yanyang City and meet up with my clone to make full use of this demon disaster to complete the cultivation of my Undying Demon Body!
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan became slightly excited. After sending the two seniors off, he summoned Xiao Jiuli and Chu Duo to explain everything to them.
Fortunately, he was not planning on harming them by bringing the two of them with him. Otherwise, given their cultivation level, a random otherworldly demon passing by could casually crush them.
