Supreme Immortal Orifice, Small Green Heaven.
A vast expanse of hazy, multicolored dreamscape floated silently in the void, drifting slowly with the passage of time.
A strand of Self Will lingered here, its features identical to Fang Yuan's — vivid and lifelike.
Within the Self Will sat a small pile of Red Date Immortal Essence and several Gu Insects.
"This is the last attempt for now." Fang Yuan's Self Will murmured, then immediately set to work.
The Red Date Immortal Essence was consumed rapidly. At the same time, the Self-Love Immortal Gu and Love Intent Immortal Gu were both activated, followed by several auxiliary mortal Gu.
Soon, a massive surge of Self Will erupted forth. The strand of Self Will, which had been normal-sized just moments ago, swelled abruptly into a colossal will giant several zhang tall.
Fang Yuan ceased activating the Gu and let his Self Will rest briefly.
The entire will giant shrank by roughly ten percent, becoming more condensed and its expression more lively.
Then, Fang Yuan's Self Will activated yet another Immortal Killer Move.
This move was temporarily unnamed — something Fang Yuan had roughed out over the past few days, specifically designed to target dreamscapes.
The Immortal Killer Move erupted with brilliant radiance, like piercing swords stabbing into the vast dreamscape before him.
After the time it took to finish a cup of tea, Fang Yuan stopped the killer move. The entire will giant had shrunk dramatically, reduced to the size of an infant. The pile of Red Date Immortal Essence had been consumed nearly to dryness.
"In the end… it still failed." Fang Yuan's Self Will let out a deep sigh.
The great dream war had earned Fang Yuan many Pure Dream Truth-Seeking Bodies. But during his journey from the Southern Border to the Western Desert, he had sacrificed the vast majority of them to hold off his pursuers.
The few Pure Dream Truth-Seeking Bodies that remained in his possession were all defective — each one had exceeded its time limit and disintegrated back into dreamscapes.
Fang Yuan had left all these dreamscapes in the Small Green Heaven.
Fang Yuan's Supreme Blessed Land had the layout of Five Domains and Nine Heavens. Its vastness was such that speaking of it openly would terrify every Gu Immortal under heaven.
However, most of the territories had already been developed by Fang Yuan, brimming with vitality and rich with resources. Only two areas remained truly empty: the Small Red Heaven and the Small Green Heaven.
Not long ago, Fang Yuan had chosen the Small Red Heaven as the battlefield for his clash against the Primordial Year Monkey.
As for the Small Green Heaven — it held the dreamscapes.
All of these dreamscapes had been corroded by Heavenly Will. They were far from pure, riddled with hidden dangers and saturated with Heavenly Will.
When Heavenly Will existed within Fang Yuan's Supreme Immortal Orifice, it could communicate with the Heavenly Will outside. Even though the Supreme Immortal Orifice was sealed off from the outside world, and even though Fang Yuan had possessed the Dark Crossing Immortal Gu, Heavenly Will would still detect him.
This was a truth Fang Yuan had deduced on his own long ago.
However, not long ago, he had still been under the detection killer move cast by the Heavenly Court's Fairy Ziwei, and his Dark Crossing Immortal Gu was gone. He was already exposed anyway, so storing Heavenly Will inside his Supreme Immortal Orifice was no big deal.
Fang Yuan had been racking his brains on how to make use of Heavenly Will — how to wring benefits from it.
Exploring dreamscapes, extracting the True Intent within, and raising his own realm — all of this was beneficial for Fang Yuan. Especially since these dreamscapes had been carefully curated by him as particularly suited to his needs.
But while on the run, with the dreamscapes already corroded by Heavenly Will — these circumstances left Fang Yuan without the conditions or environment for calm exploration.
"But what if I could extract all the Heavenly Will from the dreamscapes myself?"
This thought surged through Fang Yuan's mind, and from that moment on, it became unstoppable.
In theory, it was entirely feasible.
True Intent resided within the dreamscapes. That was how ordinary people, upon successfully exploring a dreamscape, could draw out the True Intent and directly advance their Path realm.
And since Heavenly Will could corrode dreamscapes — if it could corrode them, it could naturally be removed as well.
Going one step further: if Heavenly Will could invade dreamscapes, could Self Will not do the same?
In his previous life five hundred years ago, Fang Yuan had heard rumors that somewhere out there, a mighty Wisdom Path cultivator had developed Wisdom Path techniques that could use willpower or emotion to invade dreamscapes and explore them.
All of these precedents proved that Fang Yuan's idea was quite feasible.
However, his progress along this path had been poor.
He had tried countless methods and even designed Immortal Killer Moves, but the results were all highly unsatisfactory.
Not only had he failed to even touch the edges of Heavenly Will, but every attempt to use Self Will to invade dreamscapes had ended in total failure — crashing and burning every time.
"So it seems that when it comes to dreams, I merely have the advantage of rebirth. Truthfully, neither in my past life nor this one have I ever deeply studied the Dream Path. Perhaps in the future, once my Wisdom Path realm surges forward, I'll see progress in this area."
After calmly recognizing this shortcoming, Fang Yuan wasted no more time.
He aimed at the dreamscapes and began activating another Immortal Killer Move.
Before long, all of the dreamscapes were transformed into Pure Dream Truth-Seeking Bodies!
