What shocked her even more was how well-prepared Fang Yuan was!
The Gu insects he used were treasures originally stored within the crystal walls. The killer move he employed was more perfect and powerful than Gray Fusion.
Achieving such a feat was not something one person could do, nor could it be arranged in just a few decades. It required a massive, continuous investment of effort, at least several hundred years of repeated infiltration, secretly hiding the needed Gu insects one by one in the crystal walls. Moreover, to prevent later generations from taking them, he likely had to prepare multiple copies of each Gu.
In a word, this was beyond any single person or an ordinary power. It required at least a superpower possessing Gu Immortals!
Faced with Mo Yao's question, Fang Yuan just smiled faintly and said nothing.
All of this had been arranged by Gu Immortals of Central Continent. But Mo Yao had fallen too long ago, and her will, trapped within the Waterside Pavilion, had slumbered for too long, unaware of the changes in the outside world.
Fang Yuan was a reincarnated person who enjoyed a tremendous advantage. By leveraging the Gu Immortals' arrangements, he accomplished everything smoothly.
In fact, he had to thank the Gu Immortals of Central Continent for the images they spread everywhere.
Without the guidance of those images, Fang Yuan would never have known the inside story so clearly.
The method he used was essentially no different from Hei Loulan's. But Fang Yuan was sensing his own Immortal Gu, while Hei Loulan was sensing normal Gu of others.
Refining an Immortal Gu is at least a hundred times harder than refining a normal Gu. Thus, Fang Yuan did not need to rush like Hei Loulan. The two Immortal Gu had remained in a half-refined state.
More importantly, the Refinement Path killer move that Fang Yuan activated was a version painstakingly improved by Central Continent Gu Immortals after perfecting Gray Fusion. Its effect was excellent. It freed the Gu Masters from the burden, making the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building bear the force of the killer move, thus avoiding the risk of backlash.
At the same time, he also had to thank the many Gu Masters who actively challenged the levels. If the levels had been complete, Fang Yuan would have had to cross a hundred levels to communicate with the Immortal Gu, which would have been extremely difficult.
But only seventeen levels remained on the twenty-first floor. The thirty-fourth floor had even fewer remaining—only twelve.
After Fang Yuan successfully took away the two Immortal Gu, these two floors were cleared.
He took out two mansion lord tokens. The glazed mansion lord token still had six corners. After all, it was a cheating tool, not orthodox.
As for the mansion lord token seized from Hei Loulan, it had increased from two corners to four.
Together, they made—ten corners!
Ten corners meant that Fang Yuan had met the minimum requirement to obtain a Venerable's inheritance.
“A Venerable's inheritance…” Fang Yuan clicked his tongue and, following the images, he merged the two mansion lord tokens. In an instant, a ten-cornered mansion lord token formed.
Swoosh.
The next moment, he disappeared from where he stood.
The scene before him changed abruptly. When Fang Yuan regained his senses, he found himself in a void.
All around was darkness. Without heaven or earth, Fang Yuan floated quietly in space.
Several rays of starlight, either green or red, shot from extremely far away.
“This is the true inheritance secret realm of the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building! I never thought I would be able to come here again after so many years!” Mo Yao’s will said, unusually dazed, murmuring to herself.
“Oh? You've been here before?” Fang Yuan’s heart stirred.
“Back then… Hmph, let’s not talk about it. Kid, being able to come here is a blessing you’ve accumulated over several lifetimes! Although you only have ten corners and can only obtain the lowest level of ordinary true inheritance, that doesn’t stop you from seeing more. What you’re about to see will definitely broaden your horizons and stay with you for life!” In an instant, Mo Yao’s will returned to its usual self.
Fang Yuan smiled. Mo Yao’s haughty tone did not anger him; instead, he nodded in agreement. “Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, I still cannot compare to him! Today, I will indeed broaden my horizons.”
With that, he moved his hands like he was paddling, slowly propelling himself forward.
In his previous life, the Central Continent images had clearly cut out a lot of content from this part.
The Gu Immortals of Central Continent had a larger scale than Fang Yuan. They had used over a dozen Immortal Gu to raise the mansion lord token to forty-three corners.
They gained a lot but completely concealed it. Their approach was undoubtedly to not flaunt their wealth, to avoid inciting greed. This made Fang Yuan even more curious and eager for Giant Sun’s true inheritance.
He followed a trail of blood-red starlight, getting closer.
As he approached, the starlight became brighter in his eyes. Eventually, Fang Yuan stopped before a spherical cluster of starlight.
This cluster of red starlight, the size of a large bowl, floated quietly.
“This is an ordinary true inheritance. To learn its content, you only need to extend your mind into it,” Mo Yao timely advised.
Fang Yuan cautiously extended his mind, and immediately before his eyes flashed a series of illusions.
A primordial forest, vast and boundless!
Ancient trees towering to the heavens, beasts as huge as mountains!
“Hahaha!” A figure with a back like a tiger and a waist like a bear threw his head back and laughed.
His image was blurry, but his skin was covered in colorful ancient totems, exuding an awe-inspiring hegemony!
He stood on gray clouds, rode the fierce wind, his purple hair wild, and in his double pupils seemed to burn a savage flame.
Seeing this, Fang Yuan’s heart involuntarily pounded, and his breathing became labored. He recognized the person: “This is the Savage Wilderness Demon Venerable, one of the three Demon Venerables of the ancient era! He is facing a primeval beast—the Earthly Cang Osprey! Strange, why is a Demon Venerable’s item in Giant Sun’s inheritance?”
“What’s so strange about that? Giant Sun Immortal Venerable was the supreme of his era, master of heaven and earth, invincible in the world. He plundered everything under heaven and acquired an item of the Savage Wilderness Demon Venerable. It’s only natural that he placed it in his own building as a legacy for his descendants,” Mo Yao said.
Primeval beasts were overlords that existed in the world since primeval times, with combat power comparable to eighth-turn Gu Immortals.
This Earthly Cang Osprey had the head of a bird and the body of a beast, two pairs of golden pupils, dragon horns on its head, a powerful body covered in thick colorful feathers, and its beastly might filled the heavens and earth.
With a light wave of its limbs, it could collapse mountains and dam rivers. When it opened its mouth and roared, the sound shook ten thousand li, shaking the heavens and trembling the earth.
