Apart from the Qi Sea clone, the next largest fortune belonged to Wu Shuai.
His fortune had weakened considerably.
The Dragon Palace had been destroyed and would be difficult to reconstruct in the short term. All four Dragon Commanders had perished, and even Di Cangsheng remained suppressed within Heavenly Court.
Wu Shuai's fortune still took the form of a flying dragon, closely tied to the clone's identity as a dragonman.
Looking more closely, one would discover that Wu Shuai's flying dragon fortune appeared to be composed of countless ants.
Innumerable ants, bound together as one, forming the fortune of an ant-dragon.
"Wu Shuai manages the trivial affairs of the foreign races' grand alliance on my behalf, and beyond that, he devotes himself to studying his slave path methods, attempting to raise his combat power by another level. That is the origin of this ant-dragon image."
Fang Yuan turned his gaze to the Time Path clone's fortune.
The Time Path clone's fortune still resembled a miniature River of Time. But compared to before, the river's surface had grown wider, its waters surging and churning.
Zhan Budu's osprey fortune had not changed much either.
But Li Xiaobai's fortune had undergone a dramatic transformation.
Previously, his fortune had bloomed like a flower, with a thin layer of precious nectar accumulating in its stamen—proof that Li Xiaobai's cultivation had reached a milestone.
Now his fortune looked entirely different, having morphed into a white wall.
Three poems of varying length already adorned the white wall. A careful reading revealed them to be three masterful poems that Li Xiaobai had "composed."
Every character was rendered in pitch-black ink, standing out starkly against the white surface.
Surrounding the wall, countless jet-black characters floated in the air, poised to fly onto its surface.
"So this is the fortune of the Poetry Wall," Fang Yuan realized with sudden clarity.
Ever since Li Xiaobai had received the Book House's inheritance, he had taken off unstoppable, embarking on a path toward fame throughout the land.
He had not only replaced his Life Gu but had also traveled the world, gathering poetry from every corner, and had consolidated the poems he had "created" through literary appropriation into three killer moves.
These three information path killer moves had established him as the foremost Gu Master within the Glorious Civilization Grotto-Heaven, and even elevated him to the status of a promising Gu Immortal candidate favored by countless observers. Some commentators declared him a talent seen perhaps once in several centuries within the grotto-heaven!
With Li Xiaobai performing so brilliantly, he naturally attracted the attention of Elder Hua Yu.
Every sign pointed to Elder Hua Yu having decided to pour full resources into nurturing Li Xiaobai!
Fang Yuan's Qi Sea clone and his main body were both thoroughly aware of Li Xiaobai's recent developments, yet neither had intervened—they simply observed from the sidelines.
Back when Fang Yuan had first created Li Xiaobai as a clone, his goal had been to lay claim to the information path inheritance within the Glorious Civilization Grotto-Heaven, helping himself compensate for his deficiencies in information path.
However, the Glorious Civilization Grotto-Heaven was an information path grotto-Heaven with extremely strict oversight, making it impossible for Fang Yuan to provide heavy support. Li Xiaobai had to push forward on his own, and it had been an arduous struggle.
The result was that Fang Yuan had already passed through the Battle of Destiny, the pursuit battle, and had even slain Demon Venerable Spectral Soul and resolved the Heavenly Dao's dao marks—all before Li Xiaobai's situation showed any noticeable improvement.
Moreover, the Glorious Civilization Grotto-Heaven was already within the Righteous Alliance, and the majority of their information path true inheritances had become obtainable through internal exchanges within the alliance.
Such was the way of the world. Sometimes plans could not keep up with change, and sometimes change could not keep up with plans.
With things as they were, the chess piece that was Li Xiaobai now had an entirely new arrangement.
So going forward, Fang Yuan would simply let him be, allowing events to take their natural course.
Finally, there was the Pure Dream clone's fortune.
The Pure Dream clone remained at the Fifth Transformation level. Attempting to ascend to immortality through the Pure Dream Seeking True Body would trigger a dream path tribulation. Even the current Fang Yuan had no confidence in handling it.
Yet the Pure Dream clone's fortune had also changed.
Its fortune had originally been a wisp of pink mist—ethereal and faint, constantly shifting. But now that pink mist had condensed, transforming into a miniature sandbox.
The sandbox was still pink and quite small, but fine grains of yellow sand kept falling into it from all directions, turning pink as they landed, gradually enlarging the sandbox.
"A sandbox fortune… what omen does this portend?" For a moment, even Fang Yuan felt puzzled.
After activating his wisdom path methods, a brief gleam of insight flashed through Fang Yuan's eyes, bringing with it a few tentative hypotheses that still required verification.
Fang Yuan took stock and realized, almost without noticing, that he had already created a total of eight clones.
Forging these clones was one of the fruits of studying Demon Venerable Spectral Soul's methods.
Spectral Soul had relied on his clones to build both the Shadow Sect and the Zombie Alliance. These clones had brought Fang Yuan considerable assistance as well.
"Of the eight clones, the only one sacrificed was Fang Dizhang. Hmm? Wait—this is…" Fang Yuan suddenly detected a thread of fortune.
It was exceedingly faint, almost transparent, and the impression it conveyed to him was exceptionally weak.
He had nearly missed it altogether, but upon careful discernment, a look of delighted surprise surfaced on his face: "This is the Fang Dizhang clone? He's actually still alive!"
During the Battle of Destiny, Fang Yuan had been schemed against by Yuan Lian, losing not only the Bean Emperor Palace but also the Fang Dizhang clone in the process.
So much time had passed. The Bean Emperor Palace had long since merged with the Emperor City to form the Divine Emperor City, now universally recognized as the foremost Immortal Gu House under heaven, and Fang Yuan had assumed the Fang Dizhang clone was finished for good.
