Fang Yuan discovered something even more interesting.
The survival time of these Pure Dream True Body dummies was inversely proportional to their cultivation level. The higher their cultivation, the shorter their lifespan. Conversely, those dummies at the Gu Master level could survive for at least two or three years, offering Fang Yuan ample room for utilization and study.
"Just now I was wondering, if the Shadow Sect had the means to create such a large number of Pure Dream True Body dummies, why didn't they use them in the Battle of Yitian Mountain?"
"So it seems the Pure Dream True Body dummies Shadow Wuxie once used weren't that easy to create."
"The Shadow Sect, to rescue the main body of the Demon Venerable Ghost, didn't hesitate to use this method, creating a massive number of Pure Dream True Body dummies to disrupt and disperse the dream realm. Their determination is formidable."
Fang Yuan inwardly marveled at the Shadow Sect's resolute stance this time.
It wasn't just Fang Yuan who had succeeded in capturing many Pure Dream True Body dummies. The other Righteous Path Gu Immortals weren't fools either; they each seized a few.
These Pure Dream True Body dummies contained the dream-path research achievements of the Shadow Sect. Once studied and mastered, others would make tremendous, breakthrough-level progress in this domain.
The Shadow Sect had gone to such lengths just to rescue the main body of the Demon Venerable Ghost.
The scene was utter chaos.
Purple Mountain True Monarch hadn't been discovered. He continued to endlessly create more Pure Dream True Body dummies.
More and more luminous cocoons appeared consecutively within the dream realm.
Patches of dreamscape piled upon each other in a chaotic jumble, forming an extremely complex battlefield. The Righteous and Demonic sides, centered around the Pure Dream True Body dummies, engaged in fierce combat.
Even though Fang Yuan's side was exerting all their effort to intercept, the battlefield was far too chaotic. Several Pure Dream True Body dummies had already slipped through and were on the verge of escaping.
"Damn it! Any of them could be the Ghost's main body in hiding!" Fang Yuan spotted this development and was about to strike from a distance when, suddenly—
A needle-thin, perfectly straight beam of white light shot down from the depths of the sky.
In an instant, it pierced through the skull of a Pure Dream True Body dummy.
This slender white light was incredibly sharp, drilling straight down from the dummy's skull, piercing its entire body.
It appeared in a flash and vanished just as quickly.
The dummy that was hit was a Sixth Transformation Gu Immortal.
He instantly felt weak and powerless all over, with a tingling numbness on the crown of his head. A look of confusion crossed his face. Slowly, he raised his hand to touch the top of his head.
Then, holding his hand before his eyes, he found it covered in blood and mottled brain matter.
His expression changed drastically, filled with disbelief and terror.
Then, his vision went black, and his life force completely dissipated. His corpse fell from the sky like a torn sack, hitting the ground with a heavy thud.
Blood sprayed instantly, bones shattered, tendons snapped, and he was reduced almost to a mound of flesh paste, utterly and irredeemably dead.
"Hmm? Who was that?" Fang Yuan witnessed the scene, his pupils contracting sharply.
He was observing the entire battlefield. Among the Righteous Path, he was the first to notice this occurrence.
On the Demonic Path side, Purple Mountain True Monarch was both birthing more cocoons and commanding the overall situation.
Seeing this, he didn't feel confusion, but rather his brows knitted tightly together: "Heaven Court has finally made its move!"
He had long anticipated this possibility and had made arrangements during the daytime to delay the Heaven Monitoring Tower for a time.
But unfortunately, Fang Yuan's intervention had severely disrupted Purple Mountain True Monarch's plans.
The super Gu formation and the presence of the Righteous Path Gu Immortals had seriously hindered Purple Mountain True Monarch's rescue progress.
The optimal moment had been lost. The Heaven Monitoring Tower, having broken free of its restraints, finally acted, officially joining this grand battle.
*Swish, swish, swish!*
Several soft sounds rang out in succession as a few more slender white beams shot out, effortlessly picking off one by one the Pure Dream True Body dummies attempting to leave the battlefield.
Following this, a magnificent Immortal Gu House descended upon the battlefield with overwhelming majesty, like a ruler surveying its domain. It radiated a brilliant light that pierced the sky.
This spectacular sight finally drew the attention of most Gu Immortals, who all turned their gaze toward the sky.
A very few were bewildered, but the majority recognized it in an instant—it was the Heaven Monitoring Tower!
Heaven Court's Heaven Monitoring Tower was far too famous!
Heaven Court!
Almost every Gu Immortal present felt a severe jolt in their hearts.
Heaven Court's imposing entrance undoubtedly pushed the already chaotic battle situation toward an even more unpredictable direction.
Atop the Heaven Monitoring Tower, Dragon Lord stood with his arms crossed, his body straight as a mountain, gazing down upon the entire battlefield below.
"The Demon Venerable Ghost is cunning and sinister. Not a single Pure Dream True Body dummy must be allowed to escape; they must all be eliminated. Of course, these dummies might all be decoys. We cannot rule out the possibility that the Demon Venerable Ghost is hiding within another Gu Immortal to escape. Therefore, kill every Gu Immortal present. Better to kill wrongly than let one escape!"
"Understood!" Behind Dragon Lord, a group of Gu Immortals led by Purple Violet Fairy hurriedly responded in unison.
Dragon Lord pondered for another moment: "First eliminate the Shadow Sect, then deal with the Righteous Path. But if anyone, regardless of who they are, attempts to leave the battlefield, eliminate them directly!"
The Heaven Monitoring Tower descended upon the battlefield with unparalleled momentum, like a mountain peak crashing down.
The chaotic battlefield seemed to freeze before its approach.
The Heaven Monitoring Tower represented the ultimate fighting force. Its actions would likely determine the entire course of the battle.
The hearts of the Righteous Path Gu Immortals pounded wildly.
Heaven Court, Gu Immortals from the Central Continent—would they be reinforcements?
The Shadow Sect side, however, plunged into panic.
