Half a stick of incense's time had passed, and Fang Yuan was already far from the Dragon Elephant Plain.
Ahead, a vast expanse of white clouds appeared.
Fang Yuan's speed instinctively slowed.
He now paid extra attention to white clouds. Last time in the Southern Border, he had encountered that annoying flock of cloud beasts.
A fall into a pit, a gain in your wit. Fang Yuan held a cautious attitude towards any large expanse of white clouds.
After some scouting, Fang Yuan relaxed slightly. This cloud bank posed no problem.
Only then did he fly into the clouds.
His vision was immediately blanketed by a white, misty haze.
It didn't matter, however. Fang Yuan had other scouting methods.
Whether it was his hearing, sound waves, or divine sense coverage and sensing, any of them allowed him to fly freely within the white clouds, not like a headless fly crashing around blindly.
At the level of a Gu Immortal, a mortal's methods were already abundant, practically everything one could need.
Fang Yuan's speed dropped sharply, and he ceased all movement techniques.
Then, in his mind, thoughts flickered rapidly one after another as he mobilized the various Gu worms within his Immortal aperture.
A massive number of Blood Path mortal Gu surged like wind and clouds, as if a crimson whirlwind had risen within his Supreme Immortal aperture.
Then the core Immortal Gu flew up.
Sixth Transformation Blood Origin Immortal Gu!
It descended like a king, with a majestic aura. All the other mortal Gu were merely auxiliary, and in an instant they prepared for Fang Yuan a Immortal-level killing move — Blood Drift.
Crimson light erupted from Fang Yuan's entire body, then quickly liquefied, forming a surging torrent of blood.
The blood carried Fang Yuan, cutting through the cloudy sky, speeding forward.
The speed was completely different from before!
When Fang Yuan was previously leaving the Dragon Elephant Plain, that was the territory of a Righteous Path super force. Therefore, he did not activate any Immortal-level killing moves.
Because most Immortal killing moves leaked powerful auras that would attract attention.
During his journey away from the Dragon Elephant Plain, Fang Yuan had used various mortal killing moves.
Now that he was far from the Dragon Elephant Plain, he could finally activate an Immortal killing move.
His speed soared as he shot forward.
A slender, scarlet trajectory was drawn out, but it was obscured by the thick cloud layers, invisible to the outside world.
This was the benefit of flying within cloud banks.
If there were no clouds, Fang Yuan would have to conceal his traces. Flying openly in the sky would be too conspicuous.
In a mere moment, Fang Yuan pierced directly through this wide expanse of cloud.
Thousands of li of distance had been covered.
Once out of the clouds, Fang Yuan actively retracted the Blood Drift.
At this time, Blood Path demonic Immortals in the Five Regions were still unable to show themselves and had to keep a low profile. Blood Path was universally condemned, like a rat crossing the street. Fang Yuan did not want to attract trouble because of Blood Path.
Especially since Heavenly Will was still closely watching him!
"Unless I improve Blood Drift so that no one can recognize its origins," a thought flashed through Fang Yuan's mind.
Actually, he had already improved Blood Drift once more.
While cultivating in the Langya Blessed Land, Fang Yuan had been constantly practicing Blood Path and Strength Path killing moves.
One day, during practice, inspiration struck Fang Yuan, and he improved the Blood Drift.
Originally, when Blood Drift was activated, hundreds of mortal Gu appeared around Fang Yuan, circling and flying, like a massive ring.
After improvement, these mortal Gu all flew and hovered within his Immortal aperture.
Though this seemed like a minor improvement, it patched a massive vulnerability.
Having Gu fly around the Gu Immortal made them easy targets to strike or disrupt, but within the Immortal aperture, they were completely safe.
Just based on this point, the progress was not small.
But the Blood Drift still had a grand display. Flying through the air, it carved out a long river of blood, making it hard not to notice. It also emitted a thick, bloody odor, making people nauseous just smelling it.
If these flaws weren't fixed, the Blood Drift's range of application would be quite limited.
If the Wisdom Radiance could be utilized, Fang Yuan could achieve these improvements in one fell swoop. But with his Zombie body, Fang Yuan was still uncertain about its safety.
With cloud cover, it was fine. Without clouds, Fang Yuan did not plan to use the Blood Drift.
He directly activated his Sword Escape Immortal Gu.
Seventh Transformation Sword Escape Immortal Gu!
Fang Yuan shot diagonally upwards into the sky, soaring all the way.
Compared to the Blood Drift just now, his speed at this moment was even faster!
A single Sword Escape Immortal Gu surpassed the Sixth Transformation Blood Path killing move.
Although, with his current cultivation level, Green Grape Immortal Essence powering the Sword Escape Immortal Gu was very inefficient, Fang Yuan insisted on this, his attitude resolute.
A crucial essence of this journey of his was — Fast! Fast! Fast!
Emphasizing high speed.
All because of Heavenly Will.
"Heavenly Will is the will of the Heavenly Dao, taking from the surplus and giving to the deficient, regarding me as an eyesore and a thorn in its side. But the Heavenly Dao also has the rules by which it operates, and Heavenly Will must act according to those rules, thus it has its limitations."
"Heavenly Will cannot act arbitrarily. Only during tribulations can it personally strike against me. At ordinary times, Heavenly Will can only set up traps to kill me."
How did Heavenly Will set traps?
By influencing all living beings.
Just like when Fang Yuan was influenced by Mo Yao's false intent in the King's Court Blessed Land, Heavenly Will was vast and omnipresent, naturally capable of influencing other lives.
This influence was subtle and gradual, guiding along existing trends.
In most cases, it came down to a momentary lapse in judgment.
Heavenly Will could simultaneously influence countless living beings, each one's momentary lapse, each influence gathering these lives together, forming a killing trap.
But in this way, influencing others and setting traps required time.
