“Roar!”
“Keke!”
Atop the vast barren lands, a demonic beast army swept across it like a black torrent.
All the human sects and cultivators immediately retreated when they saw them as though they were escaping from a natural disaster.
Thankfully, this army of demonic beasts seemed to have a clear goal in mind. Not only did it chose to travel through the remote wilderness, it did not bother about creating more casualties.
Upon a closer look, beyond the defences of demonic beasts and You Spirits, they would realise that the core of this army was actually a group of carriages with around 100 people.
The disciples of Divine Lotus Cult that were in-charge of reining were terrified and scared at first. But now, they had already slowly gotten used to it. It was as though there was an invisible boundary between the humans and the demonic beasts that ensured the safety.
“Lord!”
The young girl, Extreme Darkness, carried a meal box and entered the carriage. The moment she saw Fang Yuan, she immediately smiled and reported, “Although we were met with a demonic beast army, with Ado in front, they did not suspect us and directly allowed us to leave. With our current speed, we will reach our destination in half a month.”
“Great!”
Fang Yuan nodded his head. Liu Mengmei, who was beside him, opened the meal box smilingly and took out a few dishes and the spiritual rice. She then glared at Extreme Darkness and said, “My husband, your servant is so thoughtful. Can you lend her to me for a few days?”
Extreme Darkness rolled her eyes, “You are just one of Lord’s followers, how are you any different from me?”
“You!”
Liu Mengmei raised her eyebrows slightly before she immediately laughed, “Yea… sister, you used to be a respected elder of the Realm Alliance, but now, you have fallen to such a low. This is so indeed so saddening!”
“The two of you, enough! Leave!”
Fang Yuan was rather speechless as he saw such a scene.
For some unknown reason, this two women did not get along the moment they met each other. Throughout the journey, they were fighting against each other.
Luckily, the two of them knew their limits and did not provoke Fang Yuan.
“Hmph!”
The two women stared at each other, bowed and left. It was as though they were competing for love.
Truth be told, Fang Yuan felt good receiving these acts of care along the journey.
Fang Yuan smiled and quickly finished his meal. His hand glowed and a wooden hairpin appeared. The tiny golden inscriptions on it immediately became Demonic Heart Realm texts under his Fiery Golden Eyes.
During this period of time where Fang Yuan was travelling, other than meditating and trying to explore and recover his actualised dream world, he spent all his time on studying and analysing the Demonic Heart Realm writings.
Ater Fang Yuan’s teaching, Ado’s spiritual awareness had already become the same as a normal person. Ado also gained a real name and was doing his utmost in teaching Fang Yuan the writings.
Currently, the texts on the entire wooden hairpin were already largely deciphered.
“The Spiritual Will Steel Seal Technique!”
Fang Yuan sighed and felt rather conflicted.
This Spiritual Will Steel Seal was Shang Hou’s supreme divine technique. With it, he controlled three sages and ten over powerful beings. It was the secret controlling technique which led to the establishment of Da Qian dynasty.
Unfortunately, it’s foundation still laid in the path of dream masters. Hence, after the path was deprived, it immediately returned to its original form.
“Actually… the path of dream masters is nothing much, but this technique, it’s too powerful…”
Fang Yuan pondered, “Shang Hou was a talented genius. He might have even added the theories of Demonic Heart Realm into his cultivation. His Illusionary Divine stage was different from others, he completely gave up on the power to create things and open up hollows. Instead, he gambled all his resources on this steel seal. Thus, at his peak, he could control sages!”
Fang Yuan was left with a bit of his dream dao foundation and could totally start over.
And this steel seal technique was the supreme divine technique in establishing a force. Unfortunately, he had to give up on the 8 Gates Sword Array in order to go on this disadvantaged single path. This made Fang Yuan extremely conflicted and undecided.
“Nevermind… dream dao is about creating endless possibilities. How could I give up an entire forest for a stalk of grass?”
Fang Yuan put down the wooden hairpin and felt as though his soul had just undergone another cleansing.
…
Half a month later.
“Lord, we’ve arrived at Golden Sun Prosperous Land!”
Extreme Darkness respectfully drawn opened the carriage curtain.
“Let Meng Tian and Meng Guang come and see me!”
Fang Yuan laid on the soft chair and calmly instructed.
“Lord, you are finally back!”
A few hundred people were escorted by a group of demonic beasts and they trepidly came forward. After they saw Fang Yuan, the two Wu Zongs in front looked happy immediately.
At first, they thought they were dead for sure after they realised they were surrounded by an army of over 10,000 demonic beasts. However, when this Lord suddenly appeared, it was as though they were brought from hell to heaven.
“Abandon this prosperous land!”
Fang Yuan calmly ordered, “Bring along all the resources and relocate with me!”
Currently, Da Qian World was in chaos. There were refugees, rebel soldiers, martial artists, demonic beasts… Fang Yuan was too lazy to protect all his related people one by one; it was much more convenient to gather them together.
“Yes, Lord!”
Meng Tian and Meng Guang accepted with no hesitation. In actual fact, this period of time they spent on maintaining the prosperous land had already exhausted them.
Recently, there was some news from Three Suns Sect which made them know that there would be no good outcome if they defended this prosperous land until the very last.
With Fang Yuan’s order, everything was back to order.
“Lord, where are we heading to next?”
Liu Mengmei looked at the people moving and the growing size of the group and asked rather puzzledly.
“9 Extremes Mountain!”
Fang Yuan had already planned everything from the start, “I intend to build up a force there! There’s no better place to set up our base.”
…
All sorts of restrictions still shone brightly on 9 Extremes Mountain.
With the current chaotic situation outside, such a powerful restriction represented some sort of safety instead.
Until this day when Fang Yuan arrived.
“With 9 Extremes Mountain’s characteristic, as long as we heavily guard a few entrances, it would a natural safe haven… If I can think of that, others can too!”
Fang Yuan arrived at an entrance and immediately saw a defensive array.
“Who’s that? This is the dream master alliance’s territory!”
Within the array, a few figures appeared. There were dream masters from Realm Alliance, Baize Mountain and Evil Divine Sect.
“What dream master alliance?”
Fang Yuan laughed and the figures behind him rushed to the skies, “From today onwards, this is my territory!”
“Roar!”
Behind Fang Yuan, the army of demonic beasts appeared and they looked extremely terrifying.
“Surrender? Or die?”
Under the loud questioning, the dream masters within the array turned pale at once.
…
In front of absolute power, this small and friable alliance immediately cracked like an egg.
After Fang Yuan assumed complete control, he then knew some stuff. As their communications were cut off, the dream masters here had to join hands and they nominated three dream masters with other cultivations to become the temporary leaders. They then quickly decided to retreat into 9 Extremes Mountain.
When they saw Fang Yuan, a powerful being, came over, they immediately surrendered and became one of Fang Yuan’s subordinates.
Even though Fang Yuan proclaimed he already had no ties with Realm Alliance, he was still a True Divine after all!
In such tumultuous times, there would only be hope for survival if one followed the strong.
After Fang Yuan easily took over this place, he then found out the dream masters of the 5 Grand Organisations were living terrible lives.
Those who still had their sage were still slightly better off as they still had their main backbone. Whereas, Source Seeking Sect had long disbanded and there was nothing else to say about Divine Lotus Cult as the last group of disciples of texts were all in his carriage.
“The last correspondence was already one month ago?”
Within 9 Extremes Mountain, Fang Yuan chose a giant peak. He displayed his True Divine cultivation and cleared off all hidden dangers in this place before he immediately began to revamp.
The original core disciples of Divine Lotus Cult, the subordinates from Golden Sun Prosperous Land and the dream masters left behind from the 5 Grand Organisations all submitted to Fang Yuan due to his immense power. They began to build up a new force.
However, when Liu Mengmei and Extreme Darkness asked what was the name of this new force, Fang Yuan’s nonchalant character showed once again as he just used 9 Extremes Mountain’s name directly. This made the two women roll their eyes greatly.
Currently, the entire giant peak had been tidied up. Many palaces were built and they formed a dense group of building.
On the door to the mountain, there were three big words, “9 Extremes Mountain”. They were handwritten by Fang Yuan and each word was 10 feet large. They could be seen from afar and were strong and imposing looking.
“Lord!”
Extreme Darkness was like a secretary and was slowly reporting to Fang Yuan, “Currently, after 9 Extremes Mountain had been cleaned up, palaces which can accommodate 3,000 people have been built. We only have 1272 people currently and there is more than enough accommodation. Furthermore, the supplies we have brought along are sufficient for half a year. Resources are abundant nearby, just that it is quite dangerous to collect them…”
“Regarding our defence, after the emergency sealing and blocking, only the three biggest entrance to 9 Extremes Mountain from the outside are left. We have dispatched skilled ones to guard those places. As per your command, Commander-in-Chief Ado is leading the army of demonic beasts to patrol around 9 Extremes Mountain. With Demon Spirits’ habits, this place would be regarded as their territory and there wouldn’t be any more demons from the outside coming over to cause trouble.”
Extreme Darkness looked rather emotional as she continued, “However, if this place is found out by others from the outside, I’m afraid there will be tons of refugees flooding over.”
“I am building up a force, not operating a refugee shelter that accepts anyone!”
Fang Yuan had a cold look on his face as he replied, “You and Liu Mengmei take charge of this area. I only want useful people. We can provide such people with protection and provide their family with safety too.”
“Understood!”
Extreme Darkness bowed slightly.
Of course she knew the world outside was like a living hell now. There were conflicts and chaos between soldiers, humans and Demon Spirits. Even normal Wu Zongs and spiritual knights were having a tough time.
With 9 Extremes Mountain’s current conditions, as long as a bit of it was revealed, there would definitely be tons of skilled people who were willing to come over to seek refuge.
Thus, through gathering them, after the military and demon chaos was over, this force would perhaps immediately become the number one force to be reckoned with in Da Qian World.
If one could occupy an important role within this…
Extreme Darkness breathing intensifies as she silently made up her mind and was determined to complete Fang Yuan’s mission well.
“Finally there’s a cleaner place!”
Fang Yuan asked Extreme Darkness to leave. He stood on the 9 Extremes Peak and looked at the entire mountain range.
Behind the palaces, he already ordered his people to set up a large plot of spiritual farm. Fang Yuan could currently see many people working on the farm.
No matter how horrifying the catastrophe was, as long as one was not dead, one had to continue to live on.
Such a weak yet resilient life even made Fang Yuan felt moved.
