«The Void Refinement Gu Formation was something Dongfang Changfan deduced and refined on his own, based only on some ancient texts. His attainment in the Void Path must be at the master level. Being able to transform the corpses of Ancient Void Bats into a Corpse Mountain Fortress also means his attainment in the Space Path is at the master level. Truly remarkable!»
Fang Yuan was especially interested in how to control the Void Beast army.
A few Desolate Void Beasts, though only rank six, could tangle with rank seven Gu Immortals due to their voidification ability.
Fang Yuan couldn’t help but think: if he had such an army in hand, the boost to his combat power would be immense.
But upon careful consideration, he realized that the method for controlling the Void Beast army had limited application.
The prerequisite was to control and transform the corpses of Ancient Void Bats to form a Corpse Mountain. Then, using the Corpse Mountain as a base and the identity of an Ancient Void Bat, one could command the Void Beast army.
Fang Yuan snorted again. «This Dongfang Changfan still wants to set me up! He knows I can pull up mountains, so he wants to lure me to the Bat Corpse Mountain to take the risk. After the Bat Corpse Mountain was largely destroyed by heavenly tribulations and earthly disasters, the aura that intimidated all beasts dissipated, and now it has become a feast for many Desolate Beasts and Ancient Desolate Beasts gnawing on the bat corpses. If I go to pull up the mountain, I’d be competing for food with these beasts—a wise man wouldn’t do that!»
Fang Yuan rested for a moment and performed a third Soul Search on Dongfang Changfan.
Dongfang Changfan was filled with anger and hatred toward Fang Yuan; it was because of this man that all his schemes had come to nothing, all his ambitions had crumbled, and all his efforts had turned to dust. It was like a dream.
Though far‑sighted and resourceful, he had fallen to this state. He had nothing left to rely on. The gap between the two sides was too great. The only two schemes he had left were actually quite crude, aimed at exploiting the greed in human nature to lure the opponent into making mistakes.
This was a world apart from the elaborate plans Dongfang Changfan had laid in life.
But only Dongfang Changfan’s soul remained, so his greatly diminished performance was understandable.
Fang Yuan did not take the bait. After resting properly, he performed the third Soul Search. Finally, he found what he most wanted—Dongfang Changfan’s Wisdom Path inheritance!
To Fang Yuan’s surprise, this Wisdom Path inheritance was actually somewhat related to Star Constellation Immortal Venerable.
Of course, it was not an inheritance left by the Venerable himself.
If it had been left by the Venerable himself, Dongfang Changfan would certainly not have ended up in such a state.
It turned out that this inheritance was left by an ancient rank eight Star Path Gu Immortal from Central Continent’s Heavenly Court. He was skilled in exploring mysteries, obtained some of Star Constellation Immortal Venerable’s secrets, studied the Venerable’s abilities, and imitated them.
This Gu Immortal was originally a Star Path Gu Immortal, but he studied the Wisdom Path. Thus, the foundation of this Wisdom Path inheritance was the Star Thought Gu, transitioning from stars to wisdom. It was very close to the Star Path. Even the refinement of Star Thought Gu primarily used Starlight Gu as the main material.
The deeper Fang Yuan delved, the greater his surprise and joy. He deeply felt that the risk of this trip was well worth it!
It turned out that this Wisdom Path inheritance had no other notable strengths, but it excelled in calculation and deduction.
It was precisely by this means that Dongfang Changfan had deduced the Void Refinement Formation, the method to control the Void Beast army, and various other techniques.
«This Wisdom Path inheritance is truly comprehensive. I almost feel tempted to switch to the Wisdom Path,» Fang Yuan sighed.
This gain was truly substantial.
A complete inheritance, regardless of its school, would necessarily involve aspects such as offense, defense, healing, movement, reconnaissance, and so on.
These aspects might not be particularly outstanding, but overall, there would be no shortcomings. It would not be easily countered.
Since his rebirth, Fang Yuan had cultivated the Strength Path through patchwork or self‑improvement, not through any predecessor’s inheritance.
The practical value of this inheritance was the same as the Blood Path true inheritance he had obtained five hundred years ago in his previous life.
In his previous life, it was precisely because of the Blood Path true inheritance that Fang Yuan had a platform and foundation on which to rise.
The value of this Wisdom Path inheritance was thus evident.
Moreover, because Blood Sea Ancestor was not a rank eight Gu Immortal and his inheritance had been split into seven parts, the inheritance in Fang Yuan’s hands was even more valuable.
«It’s a pity that I received this inheritance at the wrong time, a bit late. I’ve already taken the path of Strength Path, and even though I still have the first aperture, I’ve become an Immortal Zombie, and the aperture is dead, so I cannot cultivate it.»
But Fang Yuan thought again.
If he had practiced this Wisdom Path inheritance prematurely, he might not have been able to create the Immortal killer move, Myriad Self.
If he took into account the Immortal killer move Myriad Self, the prospects of his Strength Path were so vast that they undoubtedly surpassed the future this Wisdom Path inheritance could bring him.
«Moreover, it is precisely because of my Strength Path combat power that I was able to kill Dongfang Changfan and seize this Wisdom Path inheritance. Without the cause, how could there be the effect?»
Fang Yuan shook his head, eliminating the chaotic thoughts from his mind.
