Primordial White Heaven.
Fang Yuan rode a Carefree Auspicious Cloud, hurtling through the sky.
The Celestial Aspect White Crane trailed behind him, ceaselessly circling and soaring.
The Carefree Auspicious Cloud Killer Move was a trophy Fang Yuan had seized during his conquest of the Black Mortal Blessed Land. He had since refined it further, repurposing it for travel.
But the cloud's direction did not bend to Fang Yuan's will—it followed the mysteries of Fortune Path instead.
The route the auspicious cloud took was guaranteed to be one blessed with favorable luck.
The Carefree Auspicious Cloud and the Celestial Aspect Killer Move complemented each other perfectly. In his previous life, Fang Yuan had reaped enormous benefits from their synergy, discovering the Huawen Blessed Land and the Beast Calamity Blessed Land one after another.
Not long ago, having already soul-traveled for two days, Fang Yuan had pre-emptively planted his pawns in the Huawen Blessed Land and the Beast Calamity Blessed Land.
After that, he awaited his pieces' development while continuing to cultivate in seclusion, accumulating strength.
His Qi Path Killer Moves were still being steadily honed—he already possessed the ability to fight Eighth Transformation Gu Immortals in actual combat. However, he remained somewhat unfamiliar with the Boundless Qi Sea Killer Move, his trump card.
Beyond tempering his Killer Moves, Fang Yuan's main body roamed through the Primordial White Heaven. Leveraging the Carefree Auspicious Cloud and the Celestial Aspect Killer Move, he attempted to discover more Blessed Lands.
Thus far, he had found nothing.
"The Celestial Aspect Killer Move covers a vast detection range, but compared to the enormity of the Primordial White Heaven, it still seems minuscule."
"Still, this journey has been truly fruitful—I've harvested a great deal of Eighth Transformation immortal materials."
"This really is the optimal route. Good fortune follows at every turn, accompanied by all manner of surprises!"
"Hm? My Time Path clone has produced another calculation result?"
A sharp light flashed through Fang Yuan's eyes.
His main body labored in cultivation without notable results, but his Time Path clone, after this period of accumulation, had achieved yet another gratifying breakthrough.
"Another Immortal Gu House has been fully computed. Excellent!"
Fang Yuan was overjoyed. He immediately diverted the majority of his mental focus into his own Blessed Land and began assembly.
The Primordial White Heaven was, in truth, incredibly dangerous. Primordial Desolate Beasts roamed freely, and one frequently encountered entire packs of them. Ordinary Eighth Transformation Gu Immortals exploring here proceeded with utmost caution. Even the rare powerhouses among Seventh Transformation Gu Immortals occasionally ventured into the Primordial White Heaven to scavenge cultivation resources, all of them trembling with apprehension.
However, Fang Yuan possessed the Carefree Auspicious Cloud, which granted him favorable luck at every turn. More critically, the Celestial Aspect served as his escort—any danger could be detected in advance, allowing him to respond calmly and evade with ease.
Iron Wall Gu.
This was a Sixth Transformation Gold Path Gu Insect, the size of an adult's fist and remarkably heavy. It resembled a rhinoceros beetle, but whether on its head or back, every surface was squared off with perfectly straight lines, possessing almost no curves or angles.
Clearly, the Iron Wall Gu was a defensive Gu Insect. It came from the Langya Sect's treasury, and now Fang Yuan was using it to construct his second Immortal Gu House.
The Iron Wall Gu was activated first, followed by a massive wave of Mortal Gu.
These Mortal Gu numbered over three thousand, spanning a wide variety of types. Gold Path and Flame Path Mortal Gu were the most numerous—nearly all Fifth Transformation.
The Iron Wall Gu held the central point while the remaining Mortal Gu orbited around it in a swirling dance.
A beam of black light, like spilled ink, rippled outward from among the Mortal Gu. It spread rapidly, enveloping every single Gu Insect and forming a colossal black sphere of light.
The black sphere hung suspended in midair, its surface undulating unevenly. Inside, the Gu Insects spun faster and faster.
Once they reached a certain velocity, the black sphere's surface smoothed out entirely—the bumps vanished, and it became perfectly round.
At that point, Fang Yuan began activating his Flame Path Immortal Gu.
One by one, he activated three Flame Path Immortal Gu alongside a large quantity of Mortal Gu, producing a roaring flame.
The flame, vivid as scarlet weeds, coiled around the surface of the black sphere, searing it relentlessly.
An intoxicating fragrance immediately spread outward. Any mortal who caught a whiff would instantly become entranced, seized by infinite desire and boundless fantasy, unable to free themselves.
After several hours of this searing, the black sphere had been burned to a brilliant, resplendent gold—now a golden sphere of light. The previous blackness had been like soot on a pot's bottom, wiped completely clean.
Fang Yuan maintained the golden sphere with one hand while ceasing the flame's output. Then he engaged his Water Path and Wisdom Path Immortal Gu, condensing a stream of clear spring water.
The spring water poured onto the golden sphere with a sharp hissing sound, like cold water being dashed onto a freshly heated iron ball.
Yet not a single wisp of steam arose. The entire stream of water was absorbed into the golden sphere.
The golden sphere's rotation slowed. Inside, the Gu Insects looked like tiny golden meteors, ceaselessly spinning and dancing.
Their trajectories were wondrously complex, enough to make one's eyes blur—yet never once did any two collide.
Now, Fang Yuan produced his second auxiliary Immortal Gu.
Food Path Immortal Gu—Boil.
It took the form of a giant water bug, quite large, roughly the size of a washbasin. It had a triangular head with short antennae; beneath the antennae, two compound eyes protruded outward, gleaming with golden light.
Its body was flat and broad, generally oval in shape, dark red in color. Touching it with one's hand felt like touching coarse sand, and it was quite warm.
It possessed three pairs of legs. The frontmost pair was the strongest—when spread open, they resembled a pair of heavy iron pincers.
The Immortal Gu Boil was something Fang Yuan had extorted from the Southern Border Righteous Path.
By now, Fang Yuan had essentially returned the bodies and souls of all the Southern Border Gu Immortals. He had begun exchanging Immortal Gu with the various great Southern Border families.
