There are actually many unorthodox methods to make a person pledge allegiance. The world of Gu Masters has never lacked such methods. For instance, the Path of Slaves specializes in handling such difficulties.
However, to refine Fang Zheng into a Blood God Son, these methods cannot be used. The Blood God Son is equivalent to another form of life. At the very moment of successful transformation, the measures applied to Fang Zheng's original body will all become invalid. Fang Zheng's true heart and will will determine the Blood God Son.
The power of the Blood God Son is entirely predictable.
This is because the Lightning God Son, which was derived from the Blood God Son, possesses extremely remarkable power. The Fierce Lightning Evil Man is merely a Rank Six cultivator, yet he now relies on three Lightning God Sons to challenge others everywhere. His reputation is steadily rising, and many Rank Seven Gu Immortals have fallen to his hands.
The Blood God Son is similar; it is a Gu Immortal-level combat power. If you have one extra, it's two against one. If you have two extra, it's three against one. If you have a few more, it becomes a group battle.
Fang Yuan is currently just an Immortal Corpse. Since his own cultivation level cannot rise, compensating with numbers is also a temporary way out.
All dreams, attempts, and ambitions are based on survival.
Destroyed in an instant, everything turns to nothing.
The Blood God Son can greatly enhance Fang Yuan's combat power, and Fang Yuan is a Grandmaster of the Blood Path. If one day things go badly and Fang Yuan is pursued everywhere, taking up the old trade of the Blood Path again when all else fails is a viable option.
Time Path, Wisdom Path, Blood Path... Fang Yuan is cautious by nature. He always makes several preparations for everything. He would never complain about being too prepared.
Of course, the current situation is not too bad.
"Training Fang Zheng is not something that can be done quickly. It can be taken slowly. Even if the Immortal Crane Sect brainwashes him again, with my methods, as long as I invest the effort, there will definitely be a day when the goal is achieved."
"Now the trade of the Courage Gu and the Everlasting Hatred Spider has been established. Once I use the Western Desert Xiao Clan as a springboard and obtain a Trade Order, I can openly force the two businesses of the Dragon Fish and the Dark Flame Dragon Python into the Western Desert. At that time, it will be a daily income of a fortune!"
"For now, the primary goal is still to refine the Transformation Immortal Gu. The main opponents have been mostly eliminated by me. Making it into the top six is basically secure. The only variable is Feng Jiu Huang."
Fang Yuan thought about the current situation and his development plan.
Having lost to Fang Yuan, Feng Jiu Huang instead learned the true method of using the Dreamwing Immortal Gu ahead of time. Using the Immortal Gu, she explores dream realms. Her attainment in the Refinement Path has already reached the level of quasi-Grandmaster.
Exploring dream realms is indeed the best shortcut to improving a Gu Master's realm.
Feng Jiu Huang has an Immortal Gu by her side, and her mother, Fairy Bai Qing, wholeheartedly protects her. The speed at which her Refinement Path realm increases is astonishingly fast!
Fang Yuan accumulated over five hundred years to reach the Quasi-Grandmaster level in the Refinement Path. Feng Jiu Huang has caught up to him in a short time.
In Fang Yuan's previous life, the chaos war of the Five Regions sent war flames soaring, forming an incomparably grand era, magnificent and majestic. Countless heroes and talents rose from the grassroots, leaving people stunned.
Besides the war of the Five Regions and the turmoil of order, dream realms were the main reason.
Although dream realms are difficult and dangerous, if one can successfully explore them, they can directly enhance one's foundation. This is an extremely huge opportunity, creating countless commoners.
Most of the time, heroes and villains are simply lacking an opportunity for development.
Knowing oneself and the enemy ensures a hundred victories. Fang Yuan also secretly gathered a lot of intelligence on Feng Jiu Huang's Gu refining during the convention.
At first, her techniques were still somewhat inexperienced, but after going through so many trials, she grew rapidly, becoming a formidable opponent for Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan is well-versed in the content of the grand competition's tests, so his strength is generally overestimated by the outside world. However, the bet with Feng Jiu Huang is an unknown factor. It never happened in his previous life, so it falls outside the scope of Fang Yuan's rebirth advantage.
"The issue of Feng Jiu Huang still requires attention. If handled improperly, I might even miss the Undefeated Legacy. But if I get past it, I can take advantage of this precious opportunity to refine the Transformation Immortal Gu in one go!"
Fang Yuan also knows many secrets of the Undefeated Legacy.
The top six finishers will be rewarded with six Success Dao Marks. They will be directly imprinted onto the Gu Masters on the spot, making it impossible for outsiders to snatch them.
However, despite being called 'Undefeated', it doesn't mean 'guaranteed success'.
The Success Dao Marks on the body can only eliminate the failure probability during the process of refining Gu insects.
Refining Gu insects always has a chance of failure. Even if there is not a single human error in the entire process, it can still fail for no apparent reason.
This is the failure probability.
For example, during the second round of the Gu Refining Convention, Fang Yuan refined ten Ghost Fire Gu in the Flying Frost Pavilion. He made no mistakes, but one of the Ghost Fire Gu was destroyed for no reason.
There was also the time when competing with Fang Huai, the fusion of the Blue Peacock's head into the prototype Gu insect failed inexplicably. Throughout the entire process, Fang Yuan's manipulation of the flames was flawless. Later, when he successfully refined the Gu insect, his techniques were exactly the same before and after, without any change.
Why does this probability of failure exist? There are many differing opinions.
The most mainstream theory is that it concerns the principles and laws.
Gu are the true essence of heaven and earth. Why do they possess such mysterious and wonderful power? It is because they contain the principles of the nature of heaven and earth within them. Mortal Gu contain fragments of principles, while Immortal Gu contain chunks of principles.
Refining Gu is the process of combining these fragments of principles into one, forming more fragments of principles. Or, reverse refining is breaking down larger fragments of principles.
Because fragments of principles are involved, there are always situations where these principles have subtle differences, causing them to not be mutually integrated as the Gu Master wishes during refining, but to collide and conflict, ultimately leading to failure.
Fang Yuan also accepts this theory, finding it very reasonable.
The smaller the fragments of principles, the fewer their characteristics, and the easier they are to combine. This is why the lower the rank of the Mortal Gu, the easier it is to refine successfully.
The larger the fragments of principles, the more characteristics they have that differentiate them from other fragments, and the harder they are to combine. At the level of Immortal Gu, the chunks of principles are full of unique characteristics, forming a singularity. Thus, Immortal Gu are unique, and refining an Immortal Gu is extremely difficult to succeed.
The Success Dao Marks rewarded by the Undefeated Legacy serve to eliminate the failure probability. A single Success Dao Mark is at most useful for a Rank Six Immortal Gu. For Rank Seven and Rank Eight, the number of Success Dao Marks needed to succeed is far more than one.
However, if there is a major technical error in Fang Yuan's methods during the refining process, the refining of the Immortal Gu will still fail.
If there is no technical error, and the failure probability is completely offset by the Success Dao Marks, but the Immortal Gu being refined already exists in the world, then at the final juncture, the entire Gu refining will still fail for no reason.
