Fang Yuan took out several Information Path Gu worms. Within only a few minutes, he had finished transferring all the information he wished to put on display. Something that might take several days of writing by hand was transmitted instantly.
Once the setup was complete, he paused for a moment as he thought about what he was going to do.
'Is this truly a good idea?' he thought to himself. 'This is equivalent to shearing off a significant portion of my wealth. And all for a theory that may or may not even be true...'
At the same time, however, this "wealth" that he had could very well be the foundation of a trap.
His Wisdom Path and Emotion Path methods yielded no conclusive answer as to whether this plan would succeed in the future. Fang Yuan chuckled softly. It was wrong to be too attached to wealth. Fang Yuan was one who could see the bigger picture - this might be a loss now, but could potentially turn into a large windfall in the future.
It was time to display his magnanimity to the entire world.
He opened a connection to Yellow Treasure Heaven and created a Will to act anonymously while trading. This will carried the set of Information Path Gu worms into Yellow Treasure Heaven. Immediately, bars of treasure light began to shine from Treasure Light Gu. There were only a dozen mortal Information Path Gu worms, yet when gathered together, they emitted over thirty-fifty meters of treasure light!
Most ordinary killer move recipes only emitted about five meters of treasure light. Since these were only mortal gu worms, such an intense treasure light could only mean that the information contained within them was extraordinarily valuable.
Were they a collection of Immortal Gu recipes?
As numerous wills gathered around Fang Yuan's anonymous Will, they quickly realized that this was not the case.
"Everyone," Fang Yuan said, his voice echoing throughout Yellow Treasure Heaven, "I have an announcement to make regarding these items."
Before he could finish, someone exclaimed:
"All of this - this is a Blood Path inheritance!"
"Indeed," Fang Yuan replied calmly. "You may refer to me as Blood Sea Ancestor Junior, for I intend to walk the same path as the Blood Sea Ancestor."
A commotion broke out.
"Ladies and gentlemen of Yellow Treasure Heaven," Fang Yuan continued, "allow me to speak on behalf of Blood Path cultivators everywhere. Blood Path cultivators have long been unfairly maligned. The so-called righteous path, led by the corrupt Heavenly Court, brands us as demonic and hunts us relentlessly. And yet, in secret, they themselves practice Blood Path methods. Openly they forbid what they experiment with themselves. Tell me, is this not the pinnacle of hypocrisy?"
Fang Yuan did not know whether or not this was true, not to mention he had no evidence to back up his claim - but it cost him nothing to say it. There was no way for Heavenly Court to definitively disprove such an accusation either, after all. Such minor things like 'facts' and 'logic' or 'evidence' couldn't stop Fang Yuan from slandering the Heavenly Court.
"Let me make one thing clear," Fang Yuan continued, his tone steady. "Blood Path cultivators are not monsters. We are not inherently demonic. We are simply misunderstood. We pursue Blood Path not to cause wanton destruction but because we lack resources - resources hoarded by hypocritical righteous forces. These righteous path forces take away our resources, do not give us even the smallest crumb, and when we seek to improve ourselves through a path that requires fewer resources, we are condemned. We are hunted down like animals and branded as convicts simply because of the path that we follow. What is demonic in this? Is there truly such a thing as a demonic path? No - there is no demonic path, there are only demonic Gu Masters. In the right hands, Blood Path can bring stability. It can bring order. The Blood Path can heal and defend people. It can be used for healing in the right hands. Yet the righteous sects will never allow this. They say that even practicing the Blood Path is taboo, even turning other lone and demonic cultivators against us through a strategy of divide and conquer."
Murmurs spread through Yellow Treasure Heaven.
"What kind of nonsense is he spouting?"
"I can't tell if he's being serious or is just trolling us."
"What is this Sound Path Ten Thousand Years of Yapping Killer Move?"
Many wills attempted to interject, but Fang Yuan did not pause.
"Tell me, if a man kills another man using a sword, do we blame the sword? Do we imprison the sword? No, we blame the man. And yet, when it comes to the Blood Path, we say that there is something inherently wrong with the Blood Path," Fang Yuan said. "But the same sword which can be used by a murderer can also be used by a righteous warrior to defend his family and home. In the same vein, the Blood Path, if properly used, can be a tool for righteousness in the appropriate hands. I, Blood Sea Ancestor Junior, am such a person. I have never once harmed or killed anyone in my entire life. I have only sought to pursue the beauty that is the Blood Path. Yes, indeed, I daresay to speak what no one else will - that the Blood Path is magnificent and is worth studying. My Blood Path Junior Brothers and Sisters have been discriminated against for far too long. Today, I will take up a stand not just for myself, but for all of our rights!"
"I understand that words are cheap," Fang Yuan said. "Reputation cannot be restored overnight. You may question my qualifications. You may doubt my intentions. You may believe I have ulterior motives. I do not care. I have taken inspiration from Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable. Just as he remained steadfast in his dao, I too will walk my path without regard for slander. Even if a demonic cultivator attacked him, he still treated them with kindness and never struck out in anger. I will follow in his footsteps. I know many hypocritical two-faced righteous forces are already gathering to denounce me. These forces like the corrupt Heavenly Court practice Blood Path techniques in secret yet will point fingers at me. And to them I say - go ahead! Your words mean nothing to me. Whether you are righteous or demonic, praise me or scorn me, it makes no difference. My actions will not change. I leave behind this generous legacy for all in Yellow Treasure Heaven to use."
With that, Fang Yuan finally arrived at the main point he was trying to get to.
"The reason I consider myself worthy of calling myself Blood Sea Ancestor Junior is simple. I have created a Gu House. A Gu House constructed entirely from mortal Gu worms - yet capable of rivaling the offensive power of a Rank 6 Gu! Indeed, it is a creation rivaling that of the White Bone Chariot. The difference is that my design is not a hidden secret that I will hoard. Unlike the corrupt righteous path forces, I believe that knowledge should be shared for the good of all beings throughout the world. I have detailed the construction of the Gu House in question, and I leave it free for all to peruse," Fang Yuan said.
At this point, Fang Yuan's will stepped back, allowing others to examine the Information Path gu worms and to verify his claims. "Not only are you all free to read through them at no cost, but you may also copy them. You do not even need to credit me if you use them or modify them in the future. As my role model Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable once said, if I helped you, do not ask how you can repay me - just go ahead and help two other people instead! Which is why I do ask if you can improve upon my design to release your work for the world to benefit from, much as I have done so for you. This information will remain here indefinitely. This is my act of charity - for the benefit of the world. For the benefit of the Blood Path itself! May this seed that I have planted lead to another hundred Blood Sea Ancestors emerging in the coming age! May this new era be defined by the Blood Path! May the Blood Path flourish for ten thousand years!"
With this final declaration, Fang Yuan's Will observed what followed.
