Chapter 194: Soul Explosion !
The following events played out just like Fang Yuan's previous life like him battling the three immortals from the righteous path and Lu Wei Yin.
However this time Fang Yuan didn't fall for Lu Wei Yin's killer move and successfully escaped.
Meanwhile in Northern Plains, Heavenly Court attacked Lang Ya blessed land to capture Fang Zheng and Dang Hun Mountain just like Fang Yuan's previous life.
However unlike his previous life, the Heavenly Court Gu Immortals did not find Fang Zheng in Lang Ya blessed land as he was inside Fang Yuan's sovereign immortal aperture.
They eventually abandoned the idea of saving Fang Zheng after searching for some time and escaped with only Dang Hun Mountain.
Central Continent, Heavenly Court.
In the silver sky, amidst countless buildings.
Jade light shone, Feng Jiu Ge appeared in Zi Wei's palace.
"Greetings to Lady Zi Wei." Feng Jiu Ge instantly regained awareness of his surroundings, he cupped his fists.
In the grand palace, Fairy Zi Wei sat on her cloud bed as she turned to look at Feng Jiu Ge, slowly opening her eyes.
At an instant, boundless starlight shot out of her pupils, dazzling light filled the entire hall.
Feng Jiu Ge did not speak, an information path Gu worm flew out as Fairy Zi Wei received it, she understood what happened after looking into it.
"Feng Jiu Ge, you are indeed the Dao Guardian of Great Dream Immortal Venerable. You did well." Fairy Zi Wei praised.
"It is unfortunate that you didn't find Fang Zheng inside Lang Ya blessed land." Fairy Zi Wei frowned as she said.
Feng Jiu Ge remained silent for a moment, then asked: I do not understand, he is only a mortal, even though he is related to Fang Yuan, why do you place so much importance in him?"
Fairy Zi Wei said slowly: "The way of heaven is to be balanced, yin and yang intertwine, the area around the cave of poisonous animals usually has plants that can act as antidotes to the poison. This Gu Yue Fang Zheng was born together with Fang Yuan, he is an obstacle specially set by heaven against Fang Yuan."
"I see." Feng Jiu Ge nodded.
Next he asked: "How will we deal with Dang Hun Mountain? What about the wisdom Gu inside Lang Ya blessed land?"
"Take it out." Fairy Zi Wei smiled.
Feng Jiu Ge was dazed, he took out Dang Hun Mountain from his immortal aperture.
This pink crystal mountain was originally huge, but after entering Zi Wei Palace, it was suppressed into palm-size and was tiny and delicate looking.
Fairy Zi Wei stretched her arm out as Dang Hun Mountain floated towards her lightly.
"Amazing, amazing." Fairy Zi Wei looked at it in amazement, she nodded happily: "With this mountain, we will have an endless supply of guts Gu, Jin Huang will benefit from it, her dream realm exploration will go very smoothly."
"As for wisdom Gu…" Fairy Zi Wei thought about it: "I must obtain this Gu, Jiu Ge, you can go and rest, I will need to plan this thoroughly."
"Yes." Feng Jiu Ge took his leave, getting out of Zi Wei Palace and out of Heavenly Court, going back to Spirit Affinity House.
Fairy Zi Wei also left Zi Wei Palace, she held onto Dang Hun Mountain as she moved all the way into a dark hall.
Three large words were carved on the plaque on the door of this hall — Soul Suppression Hall!
Fairy Zi Wei smiled as she carried Dang Hun Mountain and went in front of Spectral Soul.
"Oh Demon Venerable, look what this is?" Fairy Zi Wei smiled lightly, she asked.
Spectral Soul was completely silent.
Fairy Zi Wei nodded: "Truly stubborn and incorrigible! However… I did not bring this mountain here to stir your determination. I know you have used this mountain before, you had cultivated on it in the past. I have this move that can stir your mind as long as I have something closely related to you, I can draw out all your related memories."
Spectral Soul was still silent.
Fairy Zi Wei's smile faded, lightning flashed in her eyes.
At the next moment, the immortal killer move activated, the whole of Soul Suppression Hall buzzed as intense lights shone.
The light shone on Dang Hun Mountain as they also shrouded over Spectral Soul.
Spectral Soul resisted but this move was very powerful, his memories related to Dang Hun Mountain were drawn out and shown before Fairy Zi Wei.
When young Spectral Soul found Dang Hun Mountain by chance, he was shocked and intensely happy…
After many hurdles, he finally obtained Dang Hun Mountain, he cultivated in secrecy…
Spectral Soul thought about it hard and finally found a way to move Dang Hun Mountain, after some more hurdles, he stored this mountain for his own use…
Spectral Soul created soul path and gradually found more use for Dang Hun Mountain, it was no longer used for guts Gu creation solely. He created Dang Hun formation, he could use the vast amount of soul path dao marks on this mountain to give the immortal Gu formation incredible might…
"Oh? There is a Dang Hun immortal formation, why didn't Fang Yuan set it up? Did he think it is safe inside Lang Ya blessed land or did this formation require too many Immortal Gu?" Fairy Zi Wei saw this and felt suspicious.
But soon, her suspicions were answered, it turned out that after using Dang Hun Mountain as part of the formation, it could no longer create guts Gu.
Fairy Zi Wei continued to watch.
When Spectral Soul became venerable, he placed Dang Hun Mountain inside City Well and used an immortal killer move to modify Dang Hun Mountain.
This memory made Fairy Zi Wei's heart shake.
"This orderly well killer move is amazing! City Well is a rule path secluded domain of heaven and earth, using it, he could actually remove the conflict between Dang Hun Mountain's soul path dao marks and external time path dao marks. This must be the profundity that led to the origin of sovereign immortal fetus Gu."
The following memories were the immortal killer moves that Spectral Soul Demon Venerable deduced using Dang Hun Mountain.
"These methods are truly amazing, someone who was able to become a Demon Venerable truly had heaven-shaking talent!" Fairy Zi Wei's eyes were shining with bright light, she praised continuously.
Among these killer moves, there was one move that Fairy Zi Wei placed great attention on.
"This move can actually ignite Dang Hun Mountain and create a terrifying soul explosion. Any living being's soul can be ignited and create a soul explosion. The soul explosion of soul beasts usually have incredible might, but the soul explosion of Dang Hun Mountain would surpass limits, using this mountain's soul path dao marks to ignite the mountain is truly ingenious. Hmm! Wait…"
Fairy Zi Wei's pupils shrunk, she noticed something amiss!
Boom!!!
At the next moment, a shocking explosion occurred, the entirety of Dang Hun Mountain was blown to smithereens.
Southern Border.
Fang Yuan was flying rapidly in the sky, just a few moments ago he had activated his prearranged methods and flagrantly detonated Dang Hun Mountain!
However unlike his previous life, using his Quasi Supreme Grandmaster attainment in Soul path, Fang Yuan had modified the killer move of Dang Hun Mountain's explosion.
Now, when Dang Hun Mountain is detonated the people on which the soul path dao marks land will slowly have their soul modified and will become Fang Yuan's slave after some time.
This method is so concealed that only Spectral Soul might be able to detect it.
Fang Yuan put his attention into his immortal aperture.
Landscape as Before!
He activated the rank six Immortal Gu on a large piece of mountain rock.
This mountain rock was a piece of Dang Hun Mountain, it was stored by Fang Yuan long ago.
As Fang Yuan used Landscape as Before, this mountain rock started to slowly expand, beginning to grow towards the complete Dang Hun Mountain.
Next, Fang Yuan contacted Lang Ya land spirit.
He informed Lang Ya land spirit of his situation, also mentioning his guess that Lu Wei Yin was very likely Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable's inheritor.
"Heavenly Court did not succeed this time, but they have discovered wisdom Gu, they will definitely return. Fang Yuan, you are a supreme elder of Lang Ya Sect, the sect needs your strength, you should return to guard the sect." Lang Ya land spirit said.
Fang Yuan smiled.
"We still need to talk about compensation, right?" Fang Yuan continued with some useless banter before saying this to Lang Ya land spirit.
"Ah!" Lang Ya land spirit's expression immediately sank, he had made an agreement with Fang Yuan back then. If Dang Hun Mountain or wisdom Gu were lost or destroyed, he would have to compensate ten times the value.
Wisdom Gu was not destroyed, Lang Ya land spirit let out a sigh of relief at this, but Dang Hun Mountain…
"You also know that if Heavenly Court obtains Dang Hun Mountain, they will have an endless supply of guts Gu, this is a huge boost to them." Fang Yuan added pressure as he saw Lang Ya land spirit keeping silent.
"You… no need to say this. I will compensate you, don't worry." Lang Ya land spirit replied.
"I believe you, how could first supreme elder possibly go back on his words?" Fang Yuan chuckled.
"What kind of compensation do you want?" Lang Ya land spirit asked.
I need some lifespan Gu." Fang Yuan mentioned his first request.
"Okay." Lang Ya land spirit agreed.
He gave Fang Yuan some lifespan Gu and said: "This amount of lifespan Gu will worth two Dang Hun Mountain."
After settling the lifespan Gu compensation, Fang Yuan used three Dang Hun Mountain compensation to exchange for a huge amount of Lang Ya Sect's sect contribution points as well as beast enslavement Immortal Gu.
As such, out of the ten Dang Hun Mountain compensation, five remained.
Now, Fang Yuan was going for a big one!
"I want to use five Dang Hun Mountain compensation to exchange for something in the sect." Fang Yuan said to Lang Ya land spirit.
Lang Ya land spirit was immediately tensed as he quickly asked: "Ah? What do you want to exchange with?"
"Exchange with what?" Fang Yuan smiled and continued: "Naturally, I want the Heavenly Essence Treasure Imperial Lotus."
Lang Ya land spirit immediately rejected him and asked to choose something else for the compensation.
Fang Yuan shook his head and said he only wants the Heavenly Essence Treasure Imperial Lotus.
Both sides haggled for some time until they finally reached an agreement.
The agreement was that Fang Yuan would borrow the Heavenly Essence Treasure Imperial Lotus for the next five years in exchange for five Dang Hun Mountain compensation.
Lang Ya land spirit begrudgingly gave Fang Yuan the Heavenly Essence Treasure Imperial Lotus through treasure yellow heaven.
Central Continent, Heavenly Court!
"Huff… huff… huff…" Fairy Zi Wei was panting roughly, her pupils shrunk to pin-size.
Fairy Zi Wei, however, was completely unharmed!
Dazzling starlight surrounded her, it was like she was covered in a thin veil made with stardust.
"If Star Constellation Chessboard did not take the initiative to protect me, even if I didn't die, I would have been heavily injured!" Fairy Zi Wei barely maintained her calm as her eyes narrowed to slits.
Her expression was extremely heavy: "Dang Hun Mountain was actually tampered with, I did not find anything even though I inspected it several times earlier. This was probably Spectral Soul Demon Venerable's doing!"
"To deal with Shadow Sect, I have roughly gone through all the soul path inheritances in Heavenly Court. But I was still played by Fang Yuan."
"Heavenly Court's soul path foundation still cannot compare to Spectral Soul Demon Venerable."
"Furthermore, Star Constellation Chessboard also suffered a lot of damage!"
Her gaze moved towards the front.
Ahead of her was a lump of dense black shadow, it was extremely deep like a dark pool. It stayed there as black light continuously shone around it.
"Spectral Soul!" Fairy Zi Wei said hatefully while gritting her teeth.
"Hmph, keep dragging it out until your end." Fairy Zi Wei sneered.
Right at this time, a thunder-like rumbling sound was heard, then flashes of lightning illuminated Heavenly Court.
A thunderstorm brewed, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled!
"There is an abnormal reaction from the immortal graveyard. Back then, when Duke Long woke up, the whole of Heavenly Court shook. I wonder which senior woke up this time?"
Fairy Zi Wei raised her head and looked at this scene, feeling stunned at first before turning joyous.
Rumble!
A huge burst of thunder echoed, tens of lightning bolts flashed in the sky before converging into a lump.
The dark blue lightning suddenly exploded, and a human figure jumped out of the lightning sphere.
"So I did not sense wrongly… Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, you were truly caught. Hahaha!" This Gu Immortal, who had just woken up, began laughing loudly.
Immediately, Fairy Zi Wei bowed in greeting: "Junior Zi Wei pays respect to Senior Thunder Ghost True Monarch!"
"Eh? What era is this? There is still someone who knows my, Jing Lan's, honorific title?" The black armored girl gave a slight exclamation of surprise, her gaze moving from the dark whirlpool to Fairy Zi Wei.
"Senior is experienced in dealing with Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, I, Zi Wei, ask for guidance in dealing with this situation." After conversing a while, Fairy Zi Wei bowed again and asked.
Jing Lan narrowed her eyes, snorting: "If I had all my Immortal Gu, I could break this tortoise shell in thirty-three days!"
Fairy Zi Wei closed her eyes and looked at the information path Gu worms in her phantom aperture, after which she looked embarrassed.
"What's wrong?" Jing Lan asked.
"Some Immortal Gu which senior left behind were destroyed because of various reasons." Fairy Zi Wei answered.
"They were of use to Heavenly Court, so be it if they are destroyed, they served their purpose." Jing Lan smiled, not minding at all as she asked, "How many are left?"
Fairy Zi Wei gave a detailed account.
Jing Lan slightly frowned: "Three core Immortal Gu are gone, many methods can't be used then. If I have to deal with Spectral Soul now, I will need at least three months."
Fairy Zi Wei was slightly disappointed.
With her methods and the help of Star Constellation Chessboard, she would only need over two months to resolve this issue and recapture Spectral Soul.
"How about this, Spectral Soul is captured but his inheritor has been extremely active. Dang Hun Mountain's explosion was also his inheritor's work." Fairy Zi Wei informed.
"Hmph! Demonic scoundrels, they should all be killed! So you want me to get rid of Spectral Soul's inheritor? Tell me, where is this inheritor? I will flay his skin, pull out his tendons, and bring his head in front of Spectral Soul to let him enjoy the spectacle. Hahaha!"
Jing Lan laughed as her battle intent soared.
"With senior making a move, that Fang Yuan will have no hope left! As for his location…" Fairy Zi Wei smiled confidently: "As long as senior can wait a while, junior will deduce it for you!"
