Carefree Path of Dreams

Country of Lan, Ku Xuan Sect.

“So, are you done?”

Fang Yuan stood proudly in midair, looking down at the sect gates and the dense crowd of cultivators.

Even though the Ku Xuan Sect had Immortals and had activated their protective array early, the cultivators did not feel safe at all.

“It’s the ‘source of calamity’, Situ Zhaixing!”

Many cultivators cried out in fear, treating Fang Yuan like a mobile natural disaster.

“According to Senior’s instructions, we’ve gathered everything you asked for. But we really don’t have the missing page that you mentioned nor top body refining techniques that fit your requirements…” A peak Nascent Soul elder said nervously while handing over a storage bag.

“Not even a single technique?”

Fang Yuan furrowed his brows after scanning the bag with his spiritual will.

The cultivators beneath him were frightened and on edge, fearing that he might start fighting because he did not like what he saw.

“But the materials are quite abundant, so on that account, let’s conclude it like this!”

Fang Yuan disappeared with a teleportation, and the cultivators all heaved a huge sigh of relief, looking as if they had just escaped death.

“Finally… the source of calamity is gone!”

“This person is cruel and heinous. The Grand Unity Almighty working together with Immortal Patriarchs can’t do anything about him. He even exterminated two sects. He’s truly incomparably vicious, making one’s blood boil!”

“Where are the Immortals of my Ku Xuan Sect? Why are they not here?”

“I heard that the Grand Unity Immortal ordered them not to return. Otherwise, with an Immortal keeping watch, that Situ Zhaixing…”

“If they had come back… even Immortals might suffer from his vicious means.”

…

While rejoicing and feeling lingering fear, they discussed spiritedly, not knowing that the protagonist of their conversation, the source of calamity, was listening with interest beside them in the void.

“The country of Lan’s Ku Xuan Sect should be the last one. I’m already at the extreme north of the Sixteen Countries… Next, I’ll head for the Great Sage Immortal World!”

Fang Yuan checked his harvest and was rather satisfied.

His extortion of the Sixteen Countries was truly a frightening display of might, and even the Kun Yun Sect had to hand over their treasures and a large number of mystic techniques. The other sects mostly only had one Immortal, and Patriarch Tai Xuan had instructed them to guard the Thirty-Three-Level Outer Heaven Tower. Therefore, they could only succumb to his wishes.

Of course, there were two insensible ones, or perhaps that thought that their sect-protecting arrays were formidable, so they had refused to compensate him. In the end, Fang Yuan ruthlessly punished them, destroying their sect and injuring countless disciples.

“Even so… those Immortals unexpectedly haven’t returned. Looks like Tai Xuan is determined to stay at the Outer Heaven Tower and subdue this treasure? Too bad… they’ll soon realize it’s simply an impossible dream for a Grand Unity cultivator to think about subduing the Outer Heaven Tower!”

Within the Pantheon Palace, Fang Yuan was enjoying fine wine while looking forward to the future.

With the current defenses of the Outer Heaven Tower, especially with his Torch Dragon clone watching over it, only one outcome awaited a Grand Unity Immortal that entered—suppression.

He even hoped that the Abominable Lord would come barging through the barrier. At that point, regardless of whether he worked with other cultivators or by himself in the Outer Heaven Tower, as long as he had not reached the Chaos Godfiend realm, death was the only outcome!

“If it really can go smoothly, I can finish this bet. I might even break through the Grand Unity and Grand Supreme realms, going nonstop to the Dao Fruit’s Grand Primordium realm!”

From the ancient books he had plundered from the various sects of the Sixteen Countries, Fang Yuan naturally knew what to place his focus on.

After classifying everything, in addition to the accumulations of the Pantheon Palace and Outer Heaven Tower, he was extremely clear about the cultivation paths in this world.

“In the boundless universes, there are millions of cultivation paths. For example, the difference between the barbarians and orthodox cultivators is nothing significant… After the lightning tribulation, these different routes return to the same path!

“After transcending the lightning tribulation, you become Immortal and have at least one complete set of nomological laws! After Immortal, you are at Grand Unity and have comprehended a Great Dao! After Grand Unity, you are at Grand Supreme and have a flawless Great Dao! Equivalent to a Netherheaven Demon God of the Mental Demon Realm!

“As for Grand Primordium after Grand Supreme, the ancient books didn’t touch upon this, and it was only mentioned within the records of the Outer Heaven Tower… I believe it should be equivalent to the Dao Fruit realm!”

Immortal, Grand Unity, Grand Supreme, Grand Primordium! These were the realms of Immortals in this world!

As for the otherworldly demons, they were divided into ordinary otherworldly demons, Primordial Godfiends, and Chaos Godfiends. A Chaos Godfiend was comparable to a Grand Supreme Immortal!

Back then, the patriarch who established the Mount Mengyan Holy Land was at the Grand Supreme Immortal realm. He had perished together with a Chaos Godfiend, which resulted in the decline of Mount Mengyan.

“But… this is merely my guess. Grand Primordium might be a higher realm than Grand Supreme, but I can’t be certain if it’s on par with the Dao Fruit realm of the Mental Demon Realm…”

This Wasteland World was evidently different from the Mental Demon Realm, and even the universe seemed vaguely half a level higher.

Thus, the realm divisions were naturally different.

For example, Immortal, Grand Unity, and Grand Supreme were all classified as Demon God in the Mental Demon Realm!

“Actually, the division between the Grand Unity and Grand Supreme realms seems more reasonable. After all, Netherheaven Demon Gods have overwhelming superiority over Myriad Transformations or Void Amalgamation Demon Gods!”

Fang Yuan nodded. “With less than fifty years after reincarnation, even if it’s the Abominable Lord, his progress should be roughly similar to mine… If he overestimates himself and comes before transcending his lightning tribulation, it would be perfect.”

After coming to this world, condensing top nomological laws and peeking into the Space-Time Great Dao were all secondary matters.

His ultimate objective was to win this bet and obtain everything the opponent had.

Fang Yuan was certain that he had a great advantage in this aspect.

“Perhaps it’s because of the stats window? Or is it because I gained the upper hand during the chaotic pursuit? I’ve always felt that by choosing this world, the potential superiority I possess is extremely significant.”

Although the starting point was low, a world closely related to the Huaxia civilization undoubtedly made it the easiest to bring out the best in Fang Yuan.

On the other hand, the Abominable Lord would be severely restricted.

Regarding this, Fang Yuan was very confident.

He was certain of his victory in this bet and that he would attain the supreme resources to condense his Dao Fruit!

“Anyway, the Outer Heaven Tower can be a probe! It’s time to set out for the Great Sage Immortal World!”

With a teleport, he arrived above the boundless mountains.

With a flick of his sleeve, a white chariot that was as big as a house suddenly emerged. As the wheels rolled on, it released white sacred flames, and the ones pulling the chariot were nine black flood dragons with the flood dragon bloodline. This impressive imposing manner was, in fact, a dao artifact!

“Black Dragon Flying Carriage, I choose you! Constantly teleporting is really tiring…”

Fang Yuan flew into the carriage. The front-most black flood dragon’s eyes lit up as it roared and started flying at lightning speed.

Inside the carriage, Fang Yuan was lying on the soft cushion and enjoying the sweet fragrance. “The previous owner truly knew how to enjoy life…”

His wanton looting of the Sixteen Countries not only spread his fame far and wide, but those Immortals tasked by Immortal Tai Xuan to guard the reeds were perhaps turning green in the face.

After all, they were old sects with at least thousands of years of inheritance, and one should not underestimate their ability to rake in resources. There were some decent items.

“However, the true harvest were these…” Fang Yuan muttered as he looked at the jade box in front of him.

“The first item is this map of the Great Sage Immortal World. After I completed it by integrating the ancient books from over ten immortal sects, it should be the most detailed one!

“The second item is this!”

Fang Yuan opened the jade box, and a golden puppet appeared. It looked similar to a doll that ordinary children played with. However, there were dense lines of tiny words inscribed on it that were millions of times smaller than ants and contained a massive amount of information.

“Nine Transference Undying Method! The first three transferences!”

This was from the Golden Peak Sect, a medium-sized sect in the Sixteen Countries. They were well-known for their body refining techniques and had produced many cultivators with tyrannical bodies.

This was not a top core cultivation technique, but there were rumors that the sect founder was enlightened by this technique to establish the fundamental cultivation technique of the Golden Peak Sect.

“The reason is that the technique on this tiny golden man is excessively abstruse. Ordinary Immortals can’t even reach basic mastery…”

Fang Yuan smiled while holding the tiny golden man. “But for me, this is just right!”

He cultivated the Hundred Physical Forging Technique, which had made his body comparable to a dao artifact.

And the first transference of the Nine Transference Undying Method was also to strengthen the body to the extent of resisting a dao artifact!

“The second transference is for the body to endure the attacks of a top-grade dao artifact! The third transference can match an immortal artifact! Even the founder of the Golden Peak Sect had not reached this realm!

“Unfortunately… it’s incomplete. But the Golden Peak Sect Master mentioned that the source of the Nine Transference Undying Method is within one of the cultivation Holy Lands in the Great Sage Immortal World. Meaning that I can still search for it!”

Given Fang Yuan’s vision and the information in the Outer Heaven Tower, it was difficult for ordinary items to catch his eye.

But looking at the last jade box, his eyes revealed joy. “The fourth Pantheon Catalog page!”

So far, he had obtained three Pantheon Catalog pages, and every one of them recorded an incredibly astonishing technique.

There was no need to talk about the Nine Star Pearl Mystic Technique. The reason he could kill enemies a realm above him, besides his comprehension of nomological laws, was because he relied on it to complement any shortcomings that he had.

The Pantheon Enhancement Skill made up for one’s innate natural source. It was a supreme technique that enhanced totem materializations, having the effect of turning something rotten into something magical.

Lastly, the Ten Thousand Beast Banner might not seem eye-catching, but it was actually a very useful dao artifact and exceptionally compatible with barbarian totems. It could even continuously increase its grade, having the hope of becoming a primordial treasure!

What kind of concept was a primordial treasure?

Ordinary Immortals did not even own a single immortal artifact.

Primordial treasures were one level higher than immortal artifacts, and they only existed within cultivation Holy Lands. Most were born directly from heaven and earth.

And the Ten Thousand Beast Banner possessed the potential to become a primordial treasure! Even if it was only the slightest hope, it was enough to make Immortals go crazy over it!

“The author of Pantheon Catalog must be a supreme expert of the barbarians, and he was at least at the Grand Supreme realm!” Fang Yuan was exceedingly sure of this. “And now, I’ve found the fourth page!”
