"The Myriad Star Lord? It's him..." A look of realization appeared on Fang Yuan's face as the land spirit introduced itself.
"Land spirit, do you still remember me?" Fang Yuan then smiled faintly. "I'm the one who bought Stardust Grass and the Spring Star Rain killer move from your main body."
The Constellation Child's eyes flickered as it looked Fang Yuan over once more, and its expression softened slightly. "So it's you. I have some impression."
"On your own, you won't be able to fully protect the blessed land. Would you like to join one of us?" Fang Yuan asked directly.
Hei Loulan stood aside, a trace of nervousness in her eyes as she stared at the floating Constellation Child.
The Constellation Child nodded its small head, showing a sad expression. "To preserve this foundation, I truly need to borrow the power of others. But I also have conditions."
Although the Constellation Child originated from the lingering obsession of the Myriad Star Lord, it had now assimilated with this blessed land and represented its entire will.
Without the help of other Gu Immortals, the blessed land would undergo repeated heavenly and earthly tribulations, eventually leading to its destruction and demise.
All living beings have a survival instinct, even land spirits.
"Please speak," Fang Yuan urged.
The Constellation Child furrowed its brows, pouted, and said angrily: "The reason my main body fell in the Eighth Star Palace is all because of Song Zixing. He wounded my main body, forcing it to reveal secrets and join forces with the Immortal Monkey King Shi Lei to explore a cave heaven. If you want to become the master of this blessed land, you must bring me Song Zixing's head!"
"Song Zixing's head?" Upon hearing this condition, Hei Loulan let out a bitter laugh.
Even though she wasn't from Central Continent, she had long heard of Song Zixing's reputation.
In his early years, Song Zixing was a disciple of Ten Thousand Dragons Nest and obtained the true inheritance of the Blood Sea. Unwilling to hand it over, he chose to defect. To eliminate him, Ten Thousand Dragons Nest successively dispatched eight Gu Immortals.
Five were at the sixth turn, and three at the seventh turn. In the end, Song Zixing killed four, crippled three, and forced one to retreat.
Ten Thousand Dragons Nest suffered a great loss. From then on, it no longer dared to easily make a move against Song Zixing.
Song Zixing now roamed free, a top-tier demonic path expert of Central Continent. He had seventh-turn cultivation and was extremely adept in combat with his blood path.
The people of Central Continent universally acknowledged that Song Zixing's combat strength was similar to Shi Lei's but slightly inferior to Feng Jiuge's. This was because years ago, Song Zixing encountered Feng Jiuge on the road. Feng Jiuge used three moves, and Song Zixing could not withstand them, fleeing in defeat.
"Alright, I'll try my best," Fang Yuan replied with an unchanged expression.
"You must be quick and go all out! The earth calamity of the Constellation Blessed Land is imminent. If I cannot hold on, the blessed land will be destroyed. Even if you meet the condition, it will be useless," the Constellation Child cautioned.
Fang Yuan's eyes flickered. "If that's the case, I could first help you withstand the earth calamity."
The Constellation Child immediately shook its head like a rattle drum: "I won't allow foreign Gu Immortals to stay in the Constellation Blessed Land for more than half a ke. Human hearts are unpredictable; only my master can help me through the tribulation. Soon, I will also spread this news through Treasure Yellow Heaven to let more people deal with that detestable Song Zixing!"
Hei Loulan's heart immediately sank, but she was deep and kept her face calm.
She carefully chose her words before speaking. "Land spirit, you must be cautious. Human hearts are unpredictable; it might attract greedy wolves to directly attack your blessed land!"
The Constellation Child smiled. "Don't worry, I'm not an idiot. I won't tell them the location first. Only once the conditions are met can they enter the Constellation Blessed Land. You may leave now, and remember not to reveal the location to others."
The land spirit was showing them out, and Fang Yuan did not insist on staying. They took the opportunity to take their leave, and together with Hei Loulan, they passed through the blessed land's portal and returned to the Earth Abyss.
As soon as they stepped out of the Earth Abyss, the door behind them suddenly vanished, disappearing completely.
A blessed land was a small world. Although it was situated underground, absorbing earth qi, it was extremely concealed as long as the gate remained closed.
Fang Yuan and Hei Loulan remained silent. After clearing all traces around them, they used Settled Immortal Travel to return to the Fox Immortal Blessed Land.
With the area safe, the first thing the two did was divide the spoils.
"This trip into the Starry Cave Heaven was dangerous but thrilling, and the harvest was enormous. I'm a bit regretful now; if I had known, I wouldn't have agreed to the forty-sixty split," Hei Loulan sighed as she took out all the spoils from her immortal aperture.
"Why are there so many desolate beast corpses? This big pig looks like an ancient desolate beast. Eh, there's even a lion desolate beast that hasn't died yet." For a moment, even the little fox immortal was attracted, looking at the piles of desolate beasts in surprise.
Red Crow Divine Steed, Flying Bear, Star Demon Bat, Chestnut Yak... a total of seven desolate beast corpses, plus a Yellow Jade Lion that was on the verge of death, barely holding on to its last breath.
In addition, there was the Qi Gang Flying Pig, the corpse of this ancient desolate beast. Also several hundred jin of Drill Soil, dug from the Drill Bear's cave. And finally, nearly ten mysterious great trees.
These great trees formed a forest that had once trapped Fang Yuan and Hei Loulan when they first entered the Starry Cave Heaven. The two could not identify the origin of these trees, so they collected some into their immortal apertures.
