Supreme Immortal Aperture.
Little Western Desert.
The merfolk Gu Immortal, Yu Zi, had a pale face as she gazed at the Flying Sand Earth Cave before her, breathing heavily.
"It's finally set up," Yu Zi muttered.
Beside her, the stone people Gu Immortal Shi Sanbai expressed his gratitude: "Immortal Friend Yu Zi specializes in Water Dao, so arranging this kind of Earth Dao resource point must have been quite difficult for you. I couldn't possibly have done it alone."
Stone people were best at Earth Dao.
This was their racial gift.
Originally, Shi Sanbai had agreed with Shi Guabi to complete this kind of Earth Dao resource point arrangement together. But not long ago, Fang Yuan had suddenly ordered several stone people Gu Immortal dispatched out of the Supreme Immortal Aperture.
Shi Sanbai had no choice but to wait for someone else to work with him.
The person he ended up with was Yu Zi.
Although Yu Zi was a Water Dao Gu Immortal, she was still a Seventh Transformation Gu Immortal after all.
With Shi Sanbai as the lead and Yu Zi assisting, the two of them worked together and spent nearly ten days before finally completing the arrangement of this resource point, finishing the task.
When Shi Sanbai expressed his thanks, Yu Zi hurriedly offered a few modest words, her attitude very courteous.
She actually had her own plans.
"A resource point like the Flying Sand Earth Cave could serve as one of the ley line nodes."
"After a resource point like this is arranged, usually Lord Fang Yuan's clone would personally come to set up an Immortal formation, thereby making this resource point into one of the ley line nodes."
"This is exactly my chance to meet Lord Fang Yuan!"
Ever since seeing Fang Yuan's true body, Yu Zi's fighting spirit had been crushed. But after some time had passed, she had come around.
She no longer harbored any fantasies about Fang Yuan's true body. Instead, she had set her sights on his various clones.
As long as she could climb into Fang Yuan's bed and become one of his fiancées, the merfolk's status would immediately be secured, as immovable as a mountain.
Furthermore, with this connection, the merfolk's development would be greatly guaranteed.
It was precisely with this scheme in mind that Yu Zi had taken on this task to partner with Shi Sanbai.
A figure suddenly appeared at the horizon.
"Lord Wu Shuai has arrived!" Shi Sanbai's face was full of reverence.
"He's here, he's here — Wu Shuai is precisely Fang Yuan's dragon person clone." Yu Zi's heart accelerated as she silently encouraged herself.
The future of the merfolk would depend on her efforts.
Yu Zi hurriedly checked her appearance. This time she was wearing a rare pearl necklace that could continuously emit the fresh scent of sea breeze. Her rainbow-feathered robe showed off her slender figure, and her bright, lead-dust-free fish scales gave an impression of pure flawlessness.
Yu Zi nodded to herself with secret satisfaction, then steeled her resolve. Her lovely eyes turned and a smile graced her face as she did her utmost to display her most stunning and moving side.
Shi Sanbai stared with his jaw agape, instantly understanding the merfolk female immortal's intentions.
When Wu Shuai arrived above the Flying Sand Earth Cave, Yu Zi spoke in a soft, warm voice: "Greetings, Lord Wu Shuai!"
The sound of her voice sent a shiver down Shi Sanbai's spine. He also hastily bowed in greeting.
Wu Shuai gave a faint nod, swept his gaze over the two of them, then activated his inspection killer move to thoroughly examine the Flying Sand Earth Cave.
After three full inspections, Wu Shuai said with satisfaction: "Not bad. You've arranged this Flying Sand Earth Cave quite well."
As he spoke, Wu Shuai set to work, deploying Immortal Gu, mortal Gu, and a great deal of immortal materials to begin laying down an Immortal formation.
Yu Zi studied Wu Shuai closely. She saw that he had a broad and sturdy build, handsome features, a high-bridged nose, and resolute lips that together made him extraordinarily valiant.
His dragon pupils were amber-colored, a pair of golden coral dragon horns adorned his forehead, and especially those pure-gold dragon scales that shimmered and shone — all the more appealing to the merfolk aesthetic.
"Lord Fang Yuan is truly stunningly beautiful!" Yu Zi praised in her heart.
The beauty Fang Yuan's true body had brought her was a kind of shock, a feeling that left her with nothing to do but worship and gaze upward from afar, making her feel utterly inferior. But Wu Shuai's heroic bearing was what truly touched her heart.
Several hours later, Wu Shuai completed the arrangement of the Immortal formation.
"Lord Wu Shuai is truly remarkable — setting up an Immortal formation was no effort at all." Yu Zi was the first to voice her praise.
Wu Shuai smiled: "It's too early to say. We still need to see how it actually performs. Move back a bit and be careful."
A newly built great formation was particularly dangerous during its first activation. If a killer move collapsed, it would cause backlash to the Gu Immortal. If the Immortal formation collapsed, it wouldn't just cause backlash to the Gu Immortal — it would also trigger violent changes in the surrounding environment.
After all, a great formation was closely linked to its surroundings.
Especially with a resource point's great formation — once it collapsed and the dense, vast Dao marks within the resource point underwent drastic changes, the damage would be enormous. This was all the more true in an environment like the Supreme Immortal Aperture.
These were lessons learned from experience.
There had been several instances before where Immortal formation arrangements failed, causing Dao marks to go haywire, the environment to undergo drastic changes, and while the loss of the resource point was a small matter, terrifying anomalous phenomena had also appeared!
Wu Shuai carefully activated the great formation.
After all, he specialized in Slavery Dao. The reason he could set up great formations at all was because his formation knowledge was shared with his true body.
Therefore, if any flaw appeared in the great formation, it would be quite difficult for Wu Shuai to handle with his own abilities. He was not, after all, a Formation Dao Gu Immortal.
The Immortal formation began operating, and for the time being, nothing unexpected occurred.
Wu Shuai's gaze was sharp as torches; he did not relax in the slightest.
After a few more breaths of time, Yu Zi finally could not contain herself. She boldly moved closer to Wu Shuai and said with an expression of admiration: "Lord Wu Shuai, this Immortal formation seems to have no problems."
Wu Shuai did not look at her. Instead, he furrowed his brow slightly and sniffed the air: "What is that smell?"
