Chapter 140: Rank 6 Sword Path Clone
The chestnut yak was slammed down by Fang Yuan's own paw, and did not dare to climb back up again.
No matter what methods Twelfth Hair used, he was unable to make this chestnut yak climb back up and fight again.
"I lost once again. Brother Fang is truly amazing!" Twelfth Hair tried for a long time but seeing no success, he could only cup his fists towards Fang Yuan, admitting defeat.
"Twelfth brother, you should practice your immortal killer move more frequently. And this chestnut yak is weak and timid, it is better if you change to another desolate beast as soon as possible." Fang Yuan advised.
Twelfth Hair repeatedly nodded his head and sighed: "This is all because treasure yellow heaven is closed! When it opens, I will immediately buy a desolate beast for combat. This yak already has none of its wild nature left, I already thought of throwing it away. But I need to bear the cost of buying a desolate beast myself, this is the rule created after the sect was established.
Sigh, my beast enslavement Immortal Gu is also not mine, I still need to pay to use it. Enough talking, I need to hurry back to refine Gu and sell them to earn immortal essence stones."
"See you." Fang Yuan nodded.
Twelfth Hair took back the chestnut yak and hurriedly left, Fang Yuan also left for first cloud city soon after.
Lang Ya land spirit sized up Fang Yuan and praised: "As worthy of change form Immortal Gu! This hairy man Gu Immortal you have transformed into has almost no flaws, unless I use investigative Immortal Gu."
When Fang Yuan was arriving, he used change form Immortal Gu to transform into a hairy man Gu Immortal.
Fang Yuan sighed and spoke with a bitter tone: "This transformation is still not complete, although I have change form Immortal Gu, I lack everlasting Immortal Gu. If I had everlasting Immortal Gu, I could completely transform into a hairy man and truly become a member of Lang Ya Sect!
Lang Ya land spirit laughed heartily and repeatedly patted Fang Yuan's shoulder: "Fang Yuan, having such an awareness is good, very good!"
"I have seen your actions over these last days. You have guided these children and raised their battle strength by a lot, especially Sixth Hair's! Good, good. These last days, I have heard a lot of good things about you from other hairy man Gu Immortals. Ah, what matter did you come for this time?" Lang Ya land spirit asked.
"I wanted to use some sect contribution points to exchange for some flowing light fruits." Fang Yuan replied.
"That's a small matter! As long as your contributions are enough, exchanging for flowing light fruits is no problem." Lang Ya land spirit waved his hand and said frankly.
Fang Yuan pretended to hesitate: "I have a very slight opinion regarding Lang Ya Sect's development. I don't know if I should say it or not?"
"Tell me about it, I'm listening." Lang Ya land spirit squinted his eyes and smiled.
Fang Yuan spoke: "Over these last days of sparring with many hairy man Gu Immortals, I made some findings. Their battle strength needs to be raised urgently, but how to raise them is the problem. Because all of them primarily cultivate refinement path, and although refinement path also has offensive methods, it is inferior to the offensive prowess of other paths."
Lang Ya land spirit nodded, Fang Yuan's words hit his core problems, he could not help but sigh: "This is precisely what I am worried about."
Fang Yuan continued: "Actually, there is a good way to increase battle strength, that is transformation path."
"Transformation path?"
"Right." Fang Yuan slowed down, before continuing: "Among all the Gu cultivation paths, to speak of the one that can increase battle strength the fastest, that would be blood path. But blood path is extremely dangerous and is too threatening to others! Its reputation is vile and it is hated by everyone.
Moreover, if one's blood path cultivation is even slightly high, their name will be added to Heavenly Court's Demon Judgment Board, and that would expose us. So, blood path won't do."
"You are right!" Lang Ya land spirit approved.
Fang Yuan spoke with assurance: "Besides blood path, the path that can increase battle strength the fastest is transformation path. The threshold for transformation path is very low, its immortal killer moves also don't require any planning, any kind of transformation is an immortal killer move. Normal immortal killer moves require at least a few years of trial and error, right?"
"And in Lang Ya Sect, there are large numbers of Immortal Gu recipes which includes many transformation path Immortal Gu recipes. We have many Immortal Gu recipes but few immortal killer moves. If hairy man Gu Immortals cultivate refinement path primarily and transformation path as the secondary path, they can take advantage of the strengths and avoid the weaknesses."
"The hairy man Gu Immortals are not hardened, to raise their battle strength would not be a day's work. If they transformed into desolate beasts, their bodies would become tougher, even if they make some mistakes in battles, it won't be much of a problem, they can fight back.
It won't be like other paths such as fire path and water path, the body is extremely weak and without defensive methods, they would be in extreme danger in the battlefield."
"Transformation path Immortal Gu recipes are easy to deduce and their immortal materials are easy to obtain, thus the Immortal Gu are easy to refine as well."
Lang Ya land spirit could only keep on nodding at Fang Yuan's well-founded words.
"Reasonable, reasonable!" He praised.
"I am flattered. This is only my shallow opinion." Fang Yuan spoke modestly.
Land spirits were straightforward, Lang Ya land spirit did not understand Fang Yuan's modesty, retorting with a shake of his head: "No, this is not just a shallow opinion, it is a true insight. Your words have inspired me greatly, they are a huge contribution towards Lang Ya Sect."
"According to Lang Ya Sect's rules, just this contribution could have raised your status by one level. For instance, Sixth Hair could promote to Fifth Hair. But you are not a true hairy man Gu Immortal right now, so you can only receive two hundred sect contribution points."
At the end, Lang Ya land spirit looked at Fang Yuan and sighed in regret.
Fang Yuan also showed an extremely regrettable expression on his face.
"How I wish to become a true hairy man!" Fang Yuan lamented, showing a genuine and sincere expression on his face, as if he truly wanted that.
Lang Ya land spirit spoke: "It is a pity that treasure yellow heaven is closed at the moment, once it opens, I will start a large scale purchase of the desolate beasts."
"I have a slight opinion about this." Fang Yuan quickly spoke, "There are many hairy man Gu Immortals, and to nurture them, no matter how great our sect's assets are, we won't be able to bear such expenses. Moreover, this is not the way to run a business. I suggest we develop our own resources."
"Oh? How do you propose we do that?" Lang Ya land spirit asked.
Fang Yuan replied: "Simple, like other super forces, we occupy the resources in the five regions."
Lang Ya land spirit showed a reluctant expression.
Fang Yuan continued: "First supreme elder, I am not suggesting for Lang Ya Sect to openly fight with human forces for the outside world's resources. We will instead focus on occupying the resources they have not occupied, and secretly develop."
Realization dawned upon Lang Ya land spirit: "You are referring to those dangerous forbidden areas?"
"First supreme elder is wise!" Fang Yuan immediately gave a thumbs up in admiring fashion: "The ten great fierce areas are dangerous, but at the same time, they contain plentiful opportunities. In my opinion, Earth Trench is a good place. We can set up a teleportation Gu formation, letting the hairy man Gu Immortals freely go back and forth the blessed land and Earth Trench.
There are countless desolate beasts and ancient desolate beasts in Earth Trench, they are perfect for the hairy man Gu Immortals to train their combat abilities. Moreover, by killing these desolate beasts, we can use their body parts to refine transformation path Immortal Gu.
If we capture these desolate beasts, we can also use beast enslavement Immortal Gu to enslave them and make them aid us, increasing the defense of the blessed land."
Lang Ya land spirit sank into contemplation: "This matter is too significant, I need to consider it properly."
"I am only suggesting, the significant matters in the sect still need to be decided by you, first supreme elder. If my suggestion is flawed, I hope you can be lenient."
After a while, he left with a large number of flowing light fruits.
Parting with the land spirit, he returned to his own cloud city and immediately started arranging these flowing light fruits.
Flowing light fruits were the food of attitude Gu.
The reason Fang Yuan exchanged for flowing light fruits was because of this.
Ever since the transactions, the Immortal Gu Fang Yuan possessed had suddenly increased to a terrifying number.
Counting his current collection.
Rank nine Immortal Gu: wisdom Gu.
Rank eight Immortal Gu: attitude Gu, wisdom sword Gu.
Rank seven Immortal Gu: Change Soul, Sword Eyebrows, Wave Sword, Sword Escape, Flying Sword, Calamity Beckoning, SplitSoul, Myriad Self.
Rank six Immortal Gu: Spring Autumn Cicada, Unravel Mystery, Woman's Heart, Blood Asset, Dark Limit, Dog Shit Luck, Change Form, Strength Qi, Self Strength, Eat Strength, Dream Wings, Divine Travel, Flying Bear Strength, Pulling Mountain, Pulling Water, Cleanse Soul, Landscape as Before, Man as Before, Star Eyes.
After feeding attitude Gu, Fang Yuan checked on his sword path clone Fang Zheng.
Fang Zheng had already reached rank five peak stage and with top tier rank five sword path Gu worms he could be said to sit at the top of mortal realm.
Next Fang Yuan took Fang Zheng out of Lang Ya blessed land at Icy Plain and ordered him to start his immortal ascension.
After hearing his main body's order Fang Zheng started his immortal ascension by shattering his aperture.
Huge amounts of heaven and earth qi engulfed Fang Zheng, after sometime the earthly calamity and tribulation formed.
But Fang Yuan easily dealt with it, next Fang Zheng balanced his human, heaven and earth qi.
Boom!
At the next moment Fang Zheng's immortal aperture formed, it was a High grade blessed land with 5600km² of area with time ratio of one to thirty-two.
After the immortal ascension ended they returned to Lang Ya blessed land.
Next Fang Yuan traded for some soul path immortal materials in treasure yellow heaven.
After trading them Fang Yuan removed the soul traps from his immortal zombie body using the immortal materials.
Next he used Split Soul Immortal Gu and created a split soul, he sent this split soul inside his immortal zombie body and created another clone.
After using the rank seven Split Soul Immortal Gu, Fang Yuan's soul foundation fell from hundred million man soul to ninety million man soul.
During this time an information path Gu worm flyed towards him.
Fang Yuan read it briefly, Lang Ya land spirit had called for him to discuss important matters.
He immediately set out and not long later, he arrived at the first cloud city with the appearance of a hairy man.
Lang Ya land spirit greeted: "You've arrived, come sit over here."
Fang Yuan had just sat down when Lang Ya land spirit spoke again: "I considered your suggestion for some days, and I feel it is quite reasonable. But choosing Earth Trench is not very appropriate. You might not be aware, but currently Earth Trench is in a mess, much more activity there than in the past.
Many Northern Plains Gu Immortals of righteous path, demonic path or even lone cultivators are hanging out there."
Fang Yuan revealed a slightly surprised expression, and deliberately asked while knowing the reason clearly: "What is the reason?"
"Because of the battle on Yi Tian Mountain, each region's Zombie Alliance has now become an empty shell. Northern Plains Zombie Alliance also disappeared without a trace, inciting many doubts and probes. Zombie Alliance's members seem to have almost all died, the probing Gu Immortals became more audacious seeing no response.
Not only have they already encroached upon Northern Plains Zombie Alliance's cultivation resources, they have also invaded Earth Trench. That is where the final territory of Zombie Alliance is.
According to the rumors, a righteous path wisdom path Gu Immortal deduced that Northern Plains Zombie Alliance's headquarters, Dark Flow Giant City, had sunken into Earth Trench and disappeared." Lang Ya land spirit replied.
"So it was like that." Fang Yuan showed a look of realization, "Since that is the case, Earth Trench is now a dangerous territory, it seems my previous suggestion cannot be implemented."
Lang Ya land spirit continued: "Earth Trench's situation is too complicated, we cannot meddle in it. But your suggestion is still good, I have decided to adopt it. At present, the location I have decided upon is also one of the ten great fierce areas, this one."
Saying this, Lang Ya land spirit pointed at a part on the map.
Fang Yuan's sight followed Lang Ya land spirit's hairy finger to the bottom right part of Northern Plains.
To the southeast of a super force, Guan tribe, and north-west of another, Liu tribe.
