Fang Yuan raised his hand and moved an entire great river, dragging along everything within it — living creatures, soil, rocks, and Dao marks — before sending it all into Hu Immortal Blessed Land.
"This is enough. There are still more resource points and places to plunder, but now I need to head to Sacred Palace… if the Wolf King disappears for too long, everyone will start becoming suspicious."
As for the remaining resource points, he could collect them later. Whether it was Hu Immortal Blessed Land or Lang Ya Blessed Land, both had already reached their current limits. Any further increase in resource points would cause more harm than benefit.
Only after dealing with the resource points already transferred — organizing them, selling resources, exchanging them for others, and building proper resource points inside the immortal aperture — could he continue gathering what remained.
This problem was giving him a headache. Because of conflicting Dao marks, an Immortal Gu Master could only properly develop resources belonging to the path they cultivated. This meant that even if Fang Yuan preserved these resource points, their productivity would decrease at best, and at worst they would be destroyed entirely.
Furthermore, the immortal aperture's space was limited. It was impossible to place a resource point without affecting another, either positively or negatively.
Because of this, Fang Yuan desired Immortal Sovereign Fetus Gu more than ever before.
"But even after two years, I still won't obtain Immortal Sovereign Fetus Gu… At best, I can create immortal formations around every resource point to reduce the conflict between them and preserve as much as possible…" Fang Yuan thought as he headed toward Xing Jiu Peak.
An inheritance had been established on this mountain in Fang Yuan's previous life. Likewise, in this life, the inheritance of the Star Path Immortal Poet still remained.
Originally, one of the towers where Gu worms nested had stood here. But because of Spirit Affinity House Fairy Mo Yao, that tower had been removed and replaced with a Gu Master inheritance.
Originally, this inheritance was a trap!
Inside the inheritance, the inheritor would discover numerous Gu worms and a complete set of mortal Gu recipes, along with a poetic verse.
If the inheritor possessed some accomplishment in refinement path, they would realize that the poem was actually a Gu recipe. From there, the inheritor would gather all the required materials and Gu worms to begin the refinement process — one that had already reached its final stages.
In the end, a rank seven Immortal Gu would be refined and fly toward a certain waterfall, where the Immortal Gu House Water Pavilion was hidden, along with Mo Yao's will inside it.
The entire refinement process had been tampered with by Mo Yao. The moment the Immortal Gu was successfully refined, her will would awaken, and the inheritor would undoubtedly fall under her control.
"Truly a brilliant scheme… but if I already know your plan, can it still be called a plan?"
This inheritance may have truly existed and possessed roots in Northern Plains, but in the end, it was merely one of Mo Yao's traps.
In Fang Yuan's previous life, he had failed to notice the flaw in the Gu recipe because of his insufficient attainment in refinement path, wisdom path, and related methods. But now, even a hundred Mo Yaos could not compare to his attainment level!
More importantly, he had personally suffered through this trap before. Because of that, he had learned a great deal about Mo Yao's will and her schemes. Now, he could use her own trap against her!
"But to refine the Immortal Gu Calamity Beckoning, I would need to borrow the power of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building… no, that's not correct. Mo Yao needed to borrow the power of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building because her understanding of luck path was nonexistent. But I can use various other methods!"
Fang Yuan rapidly deduced and modified his approach.
Then he took out a large number of luck path Gu worms. After that, he brought out even more wisdom path Gu worms, refinement path Gu worms, and many other materials.
More than forty Gu worms flew into the inheritance cave. The Di Qiu inheritance cave, which had remained unchanged for so long, suddenly trembled. It was as though a hidden mechanism had been activated, and the ground slowly opened.
Fang Yuan activated several mortal killer moves from refinement path and cooperated with the ongoing process.
Three streams of light gathered together and burrowed deep underground. Accompanied by an overwhelmingly powerful aura, loud rumbling sounds erupted from beneath the earth.
Moments later, the cave entrance slowly sealed shut.
Fang Yuan sent in numerous mortal luck path Gu worms and luck path materials.
After an hour, the sounds underground gradually softened. However, the earth became increasingly hot, forcing Fang Yuan to activate defensive methods. Some time later, the ground shifted from scorching hot to icy cold.
Fang Yuan used several more killer moves from refinement path and wisdom path before his expression finally relaxed.
Inside his first aperture, second aperture, and phantom aperture, the Immortal Gu trembled lightly and released immortal auras.
Twilight light condensed before shooting toward the heavens, piercing through the cave ceiling.
However, Fang Yuan had already prepared for this and immediately suppressed the light before turning around after sensing the faint aura of Immortal Gu.
At the same time, a fragrant scent spread across a hundred li, attracting groups of jubilant snow bats.
Fang Yuan snorted coldly. Tens of thousands of sword lights erupted outward, slaughtering the beast groups.
Afterward, Fang Yuan took out an ice path immortal material the size of an infant's fist, resembling white amber, and used it in the refinement process.
The fragrance dispersed, and a cold aura spread outward as the Immortal Gu flew from the cave like a streak of light.
Behind it, the flaw within Eighty-Eight True Yang Building repaired itself after the refinement process ended.
Fang Yuan relentlessly chased after the Immortal Gu while maintaining a certain distance from it. At the same time, several information path Gu worms flew around, erasing his traces and concealing the Immortal Gu's aura.
The Immortal Gu entered a valley and headed toward a waterfall before suddenly vanishing.
Fang Yuan followed the Immortal Gu into the waterfall before coming to a stop.
Using investigative methods, Fang Yuan managed to discern the shadowy outline of a pavilion, appearing like the reflection of the moon upon water.
Before entering, Fang Yuan took out a rank eight Immortal Gu.
This Immortal Gu resembled an expressionless mask, and merely looking at it caused strange emotions to arise within one's heart.
Rank eight Immortal Gu — Attitude Gu!
Fang Yuan activated an immortal killer move using Attitude Gu.
Immortal Killer Move — Good Attitude and Impression!
Fang Yuan's aura was completely concealed. He was no different from an ordinary peak rank five Gu Master.
Fang Yuan entered Water Pavilion with ease, and his vision instantly changed.
Water Pavilion was neither large nor small. It possessed three floors and carried a unique atmosphere filled with ancient furniture and paintings.
The moment Fang Yuan stepped inside, he sensed a certain will within the incomplete Immortal Gu Calamity Beckoning!
"Mo Yao… you've fallen into the trap."
Fang Yuan could not help but smile inwardly as he walked toward the third floor.
Upon opening the door, Fang Yuan saw the incomplete Immortal Gu Calamity Beckoning. It resembled a cocoon the size of a thumb.
It rested within a large red bowl filled with settled blue liquid.
Words were written upon the red bowl, but Fang Yuan did not bother reading them. Instead, he focused entirely on the connection between himself and Mo Yao's will.
Fang Yuan could clearly see Mo Yao's will deeply rooted within Disaster Calamity Gu.
At the same time, Mo Yao's will was slowly infiltrating his mind.
Because of the rank eight immortal killer move — Good Attitude and Impression — Mo Yao's will could only sense his "attitude." She viewed him as harmless.
Fang Yuan's hand suddenly moved toward the red bowl and seized Calamity Beckoning Immortal Gu.
Mo Yao's will inside the Immortal Gu froze completely. She could not even scream out in shock.
Immortal Killer Move — Self Will Assimilation!
At the very moment Calamity Calamity Immortal Gu was refined and its rank seven immortal aura erupted outward, Mo Yao screamed in horror as tens of thousands of self wills shaped like Fang Yuan charged toward her.
"This bastard disguised himself so well… he's actually an Immortal Gu Master!"
Mo Yao's will tried to activate Water Pavilion and suppress Fang Yuan, but her expression transformed into terror when the self wills assaulted her.
Mo Yao fought against the self wills for several exchanges, but she was utterly suppressed before eventually weakening and being assimilated by Fang Yuan's will!
"Mo Yao, forget about resisting! Just surrender, and I might allow you to live long enough to see Bo Qing's grave!" Fang Yuan's will urged as it suppressed Mo Yao's struggling will.
The moment Bo Qing's name was mentioned, Mo Yao trembled inwardly and lost focus for a brief instant.
Fang Yuan seized the opportunity and completely suppressed Mo Yao's will before sealing and controlling it like a puppet!
"Who exactly are you in this world?! Your wisdom path attainment has actually reached grandmaster level even though you're only rank six! Master, we can cooperate! I'll help you refine Water Pavilion, but release me — or send me to Spirit Affinity House in Central Continent!"
Mo Yao's will was utterly shocked by Fang Yuan's accomplishments in wisdom path. After collecting herself, she immediately attempted to negotiate.
Fang Yuan ignored her entirely. Instead, he grabbed Calamity Beckoning Immortal Gu and extracted Mo Yao's will from within it.
"Mo Yao, you truly are impressive. Your schemes run so deep that even I can't help but sigh in admiration… If anyone else had obtained this inheritance, your plan would have undoubtedly succeeded. Even if you fell into a difficult situation, you could still manipulate them through negotiation… but watch this."
Mo Yao's will moved like a puppet beneath Fang Yuan's control and landed upon his palm.
Fang Yuan replenished her before using her to refine the Immortal Gu House Water Pavilion!
The Mo Yao will inside the Immortal Gu House did not resist. It was practically like extending an invitation, allowing Fang Yuan's will to refine all the mortal Gu worms almost instantly!
"Terrifying… this person is terrifying! How can an Immortal Gu Master enter Imperial Court Blessed Land?!"
Mo Yao screamed inwardly as she watched Fang Yuan refine more than half of the Immortal Gu House Water Pavilion!
Half a day later, Fang Yuan finally stopped and let out a weary breath.
However, his expression was filled with delight as he manipulated the Immortal Gu House, shrinking it down to the size of his palm.
This rank seven Immortal Gu House resembled a three-story pavilion-wing and emitted an overwhelmingly powerful aura.
"Rank seven Immortal Gu House — Water Pavilion… and Mo Yao's will as well. I have to say, these gains are somewhat beyond my expectations!"
