Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Seeing this, the poor Brother Leng’s eyes were almost popping out.
“How can this be? This ancient sword dragon has an immortal aperture, it is not wild, it is a Gu Immortal’s transformation!”
“This should not be! If it is a transformation path Gu Immortal, why is it not affected by the regional wall?!”
Brother Leng screamed crazily in his mind!
This went against the common sense of the cultivation world!! How could this happen?
The ancient sword dragon roared as it charged at him.
Blood flowed out of the eyes of the lightning flash giant wolf, Wu Yi Hai was dead, everything that he did earlier was for nothing.
Brother Leng tried to defend himself, in order to save his own life.
The ancient sword dragon craftily dodged all of his immortal killer moves, spitting out streams of dragon breath at the lightning flash giant wolf as it flew around it.
The lightning flash giant wolf could barely move in the regional wall, like an old man. But the ancient sword dragon was unaffected, it moved smoothly and could retreat and advance with ease, it held the initiative.
The lightning flash giant wolf could only take a beating, even if it used immortal killer moves to retaliate, the ancient sword dragon easily dodged them.
A moment later, the ancient sword dragon found a flaw and sent dragon breath at the lightning flash giant wolf’s stomach.
The lightning flash giant wolf’s defenses crumbled, its stomach was penetrated, its intestines and blood flowed out of the huge wound that was created.
The ancient sword dragon attacked using this chance, even though the lightning flash giant wolf dodged left and right, it could not resist the attacks of the ancient sword dragon, it fell on the ground with many holes in its body, it turned back to human form and died in a pool of blood at the hands of the ancient sword dragon.
The ancient sword dragon quickly cleaned up the battlefield, moving with great familiarity, as if it had gone through this countless times.
Soon, Uncle Zhang and Brother Leng’s corpses were stuffed into the immortal aperture, before it destroyed the battlefield entirely and flew away.
The ancient sword dragon did not turn around and return to Southern Border, instead, it flew towards the east, going through the miasma regional wall and blue water regional wall to reach Eastern Sea.
It searched for a nameless sea area before placing Wu Yi Hai in it.
After the blessed land was formed, the entrance was opened, and the ancient sword dragon flew in using the opportunity.
Wu Yi Hai’s blessed land was an ocean. The types of lifeforms inside mainly were sea turtles and tortoises, corals, and seagulls.
Inside, there were desolate beasts, and even ancient desolate beasts.
Like three ancient desolate beast horned divine tortoises, a field of ancient desolate plant silent corals, and six desolate beast white letter blue feather seagulls.
Not long after, the land spirit appeared before the ancient sword dragon.
This was a land spirit in the shape of a sea turtle, it gave a rather difficult acknowledgement requirement.
The ancient sword dragon could only leave this blessed land temporarily.
After returning to the outside world and confirming its safety, the ancient sword dragon turned back to human.
Who else could it be but Fang Yuan?
As it turned out, he had learned a lot of intelligence about Southern Border from Lady White Rabbit, he knew about Wu Yi Hai’s matter.
This was Wu clan’s internal conflict, but it involved Wu Du Xiu, naturally it escalated into a huge matter.
Wu Yi Hai’s route was widely spread, Fang Yuan sensed acutely that this was a major chance!
Evidently, Wu Yi Hai was very suitable for Fang Yuan to disguise as and replace.
Firstly, he was Wu Du Xiu’s illegitimate son, he did not have any life tablet Gu or soul lantern Gu, otherwise, he would not be an illegitimate son but the second young master instead.
Thus, when Fang Yuan killed him, there was little chance that Wu clan found out.
Secondly, Wu Yi Hai had always been staying in Eastern Sea, cultivating as a lone cultivator, he had basically zero interaction with Wu clan’s Gu Immortals. Most of Wu clan’s Gu Immortals did not even know what his appearance was, especially the details regarding his habits and the way he spoke, n.o.body knew about those.
Thus, once Fang Yuan used familiar face to disguise as Wu Yi Hai, for a long period of time, there was little chance of him getting exposed.
Wu Yi Hai’s blessed land was not obtained, but Fang Yuan did not panic.
He found a deserted island and rested in it.
On one hand, he was waiting for blood a.s.set Immortal Gu to recover, on the other hand, he was trying to modify an immortal killer move — Blood Light Spirit Suppression.
Ever since blood a.s.set Immortal Gu was injured, Fang Yuan had been healing it, paying great attention to it, it had almost recovered fully already.
Thus, in a few days, Fang Yuan got back his blood a.s.set Immortal Gu in perfect condition.
But Fang Yuan continued to cultivate, deducing blood light spirit suppression.
Finally, he got what he wanted, a simplified version of blood light spirit suppression using blood a.s.set Immortal Gu as the core!
Matters became simpler now.
Fang Yuan used the upper extreme heavenly eagle to enter Wu Yi Hai’s blessed land, after getting close to the land spirit, he suppressed it with blood light spirit suppression.
Next, because the land spirit had no resistance anymore, Fang Yuan spent a lot of effort to successfully annex this blessed land, making it a part of the sovereign immortal aperture.
This allowed his calamities and tribulations to move ahead by a large number.
After all, Wu Yi Hai was a rank seven Gu Immortal, he was different from those at rank six.
As for Wu Yi Hai’s sea turtle land spirit, under Fang Yuan’s careful preservation, it did not vanish, it entered Fang Yuan’s immortal aperture along with the blessed land.
But it did not listen to Fang Yuan, it cried all the time.
Fang Yuan wanted to get rid of it, but after realizing that it did not have the intention to harm the blessed land, he gave up that idea.
“Maybe when I fulfill the owners.h.i.+p requirement, I would be able to truly subdue this land spirit.”
After this matter was settled, Fang Yuan immediately traveled across the regional walls, going back to Southern Border.
Once he entered Southern Border, he flew straight towards the central region of Southern Border, placing the immortal apertures of Brother Leng and Uncle Zhang and annexing them after they formed blessed lands.
“Hmm, this way, I have already pa.s.sed one grand tribulation.” Fang Yuan inspected, he found that after annexing three rank seven Gu Immortals’ blessed lands, his cultivation level rose sharply, he was a rank seven Gu Immortal who had pa.s.sed one grand tribulation already.
Rank seven Gu Immortals faced an earthly calamity every ten years, a heavenly tribulation every fifty years, and a grand tribulation every one hundred years. After three hundred years, after pa.s.sing three grand tribulations, they would become rank eight.
“But the might of the grand tribulation gets stronger each time, by tens or hundreds of times. Southern Border’s top rank seven Gu Immortal, Old Treeman Ba De, is stuck at the final grand tribulation, he does not dare to undergo tribulation.”
His gains this time were out of Fang Yuan’s expectations.
Not only did he annex three rank seven blessed lands, it even caused his cultivation level to rise sharply, such cultivation speed was scary even for him.
Fang Yuan could not help but gasp at his good luck!
“Dog s.h.i.+t luck Immortal Gu, worthy of Giant Sun Immortal Venerable’s vital Gu. I wonder what will happen when I elevate it to rank eight, how would it compare to fortune rivalling heaven Immortal Gu?”
Fang Yuan subconsciously looked above his head, even though he had no luck inspection Immortal Gu.
He did not know that the entire matter went so smoothly largely because of Ying Wu Xie, he had used the immortal killer move burning soul bursting luck.
Especially when he fought against the three Gu Immortals including Wu Yi Hai, they actually misunderstood Fang Yuan as a wild ancient sword dragon.
One one hand, ancient sword dragons truly could be unrestricted by regional walls, they could not help but think of it like that.
On the other hand, Fang Yuan had used att.i.tude Gu and disguised himself, the three Gu Immortals were just rank seven, they fell for it without realizing.
Thus, when fighting, Fang Yuan had an easy time, the three Gu Immortals defended more than they attacked, they chose to take a beating.
Later on, Wu Yi Hai thought the ancient sword dragon had low intelligence and actually spoke, saying that he was going to attempt to change into another form.
Hearing this, the two immortals naturally relaxed their minds.
Fang Yuan saw this ma.s.sive opportunity and activated the killer move that he had prepared long ago, dark a.s.sa.s.sination, killing Uncle Zhang. Next, he attacked at lightning speed, eliminating Wu Yi Hai, in the blink of an eye, only Brother Leng was left. At that point, Fang Yuan’s victory was a.s.sured.
In this battle, Fang Yuan gained immensely.
The only drawback was, these three transformation path Gu Immortals’ immortal apertures had shaken intensely, a lot of resources were lost.
There was no helping it, they were attacked many times in the regional walls, it was impressive to have lasted until then.
Next, Fang Yuan did not go to Wu clan immediately.
He soul searched Wu Yi Hai as he tried to understand his entire life.
During this period, Fang Yuan was not cultivating in seclusion, he went to Lady White Rabbit for more intelligence.
Wu Yi Hai’s disappearance was known to the whole of Southern Border.
It was unknown if he was alive or dead, Wu clan chose to remain silent. The forces had their guesses, although they were inclined to believe — Wu Yi Hai was dead, but it was unknown who did it.
There were many forces who acted in the dark, most of them were righteous path forces, this matter was known to everyone.
These forces were not going to foolishly admit they were the ones who killed Wu Yi Hai, of course.
Regarding this problem, there was a rumor that was entering everyone’s ears.
That was — the true culprit who murdered Wu Yi Hai was none other than Wu clan rank eight Gu Immortal Wu Yong!
There were many versions of this rumor, but the central claim was, Wu Yong wanted to take Wu Du Xiu’s inheritance for himself, thus, he went ahead to murder his half-brother.
Undeniably, this was a severe blow to Wu Yong.
Demonic path Gu Immortals did not care, while it varied from person to person for lone immortals, but righteous path Gu Immortals placed a lot of emphasis on and treasured their reputations.
Wu Yong also chose to remain silent, he did not clarify anything.
“Interesting.” Fang Yuan could feel many hidden undercurrents in this matter, countless forces and Gu Immortals were secretly exerting force, creating this contest that was carefully hidden from view.
Wu Du Xiu was about to die, Wu Yong, who had always lived in his mother’s shadow, had rank eight cultivation level, but his abilities were widely questioned.
“If I appear at this time, what would happen?” Fang Yuan had just thought of this when he felt a cold chill running down his spine.
