Then, he carefully cleaned up, doing his best to eliminate any traces he had left behind.
Back at Fox Immortal Blessed Land, he did not rest either. He immediately set to work, spending four days and three nights to refine the severed arm, eventually transforming it into Song Zixing's head.
Then, he used the Fixed Immortal Travel Immortal Gu to head to the Earth Abyss.
"Star Image Land Spirit, I have brought Song Zixing's head!" he shouted in the dim underground world.
First, a speck of starlight appeared before him, then the starlight grew intense, gushing out like a fountain.
After a breath, the brilliant starlight formed a four-sided gate. The translucent starlight gate floated in the air. On top of the gate was a plaque inscribed with four large characters—Star Image Blessed Land!
Fang Yuan squinted his eyes and watched quietly.
Generally, all blessed lands and grotto-heavens have gates. Having a gate represents communication. With communication, one can absorb the qi of heaven and earth to strengthen themselves.
Thus, Indestructible Blessed Land is very special because it has no gate. This is a very peculiar exception.
Under Fang Yuan's observation, the starlight gate opened a small crack.
"It's you? Have you really brought Song Zixing's head?" A voice came from the crack, but the Star Image Land Spirit did not appear, remaining cautious.
Fang Yuan chuckled and directly tossed the head over.
Facts speak louder than words!
The crack suddenly opened a bit wider, and a force of attraction appeared out of nowhere, immediately sucking the head inside.
"It really is Song Zixing's head!" The land spirit's voice came from inside, mixed with surprise and delight.
Boom!
The gate fully opened, and a road paved with starlight slowly unfolded before Fang Yuan. The Star Image Land Spirit prostrated at the entrance, sincerely saying to Fang Yuan, "Star Image Land Spirit welcomes its master."
"Hmm." Fang Yuan nodded. With a calm expression, he took big strides onto the starlight road and stepped into Star Image Blessed Land.
The moment he stepped inside, starlight filled Fang Yuan's vision.
But in the blink of an eye, the starlight dissipated, revealing the unique landscape of Star Image Blessed Land.
The entire Star Image Blessed Land was a huge basin.
It was like a giant bowl, with the edge of the bowl being a continuous chain of mountains, surrounding it like a towering wall.
Inside the bowl was a vast slope tilting towards the center.
Night shrouded this world. Fang Yuan looked up and saw that the sky was pitch black, but there were faint tiny stars, weakly shining.
Just as Fox Immortal Blessed Land only had daytime, without night, Star Image Blessed Land only had night, without daytime. Generally, blessed lands do not have changes in weather. Only after becoming a grotto-heaven, or nearing that level, would there be weather changes.
This was not Fang Yuan's first time here.
In fact, he was the one who had planted this blessed land.
Last time he came, the night sky here was still bright with stars, shining brilliantly, illuminating the surface of the blessed land with high visibility. But now, the starlight was dim. It could be seen that the Star Image Land Spirit's days were not good.
This was normal.
Without a Gu Immortal, the blessed land could no longer produce immortal essence on its own. The land spirit and the blessed land were one, and to maintain its existence, it needed to manage the blessed land.
But how could a land spirit have the strength and wisdom of a Gu Immortal?
Thus, basically, land spirits seek a master to help themselves. Survival is the most basic instinct of any living being. It's just that the conditions for each land spirit to acknowledge a master vary in difficulty.
Fang Yuan's gaze swept around heavily, then fell upon the Star Image Land Spirit beside him.
"Take me on a tour of the blessed land," Fang Yuan commanded.
The Star Image Land Spirit looked like a young boy, floating in midair. He wore a small pink-blue bellyband. His arms and legs were as white and tender as lotus roots, delicate and cute.
Since acknowledging Fang Yuan as his master, the Star Image Land Spirit looked up at Fang Yuan with clear pupils full of admiration and love.
Hearing Fang Yuan's words, the Star Image Land Spirit quickly nodded, "Master, please follow me."
The attitude before and after acknowledging the master was simply worlds apart.
A mass of starlight automatically gathered around Fang Yuan, carrying his body as it shot off at high speed.
This speed was astonishing, even Song Zixing's Blood Rainbow Flash could not compare.
Fang Yuan only felt starlight swirling before his eyes, the scenery around rapidly receding, and even with his vision, he could only capture blurry images.
The starlight abruptly stopped, and the scenery before him had completely changed.
