125 The Mee (1/2)

”Master Fang, please take care and remember to visit in the future...”

Outside the airspace of the Secluded Mountain Prefecture and high up in the sky, Daoist Mu Li rode on Wind Chasing Falcon as he reluctantly watched Fang Yuan prepare to take his leave.

The way Daoist Mu Li watched Fang Yuan caused his goosebumps to rise.

However, he knew that Daoist Mu Li was not a bad person and he was even slightly adorable to some extent. Fang Yuan waved his hand and said, ”You do not have to send me off further...Before I leave, I would like to tell you that even though this place is excellent, it still cannot be compared to your home. Return to the Dao journey as soon as possible and enjoy the rest of your life!”

Right after he finished his sentence, Fang Yuan nudged Iron-tailed Black Eagle into flight without caring whether Daoist Mu Li understood his parting words. In no time they became a small black dot in the sky.

”Even though this place is excellent, it still cannot be compared to home...What a great saying!”

Daoist Mu Li nudged Wind Chasing Falcon to circle around the area as he muttered these words. Then he smiled bitterly and sighed, ”Haiz...you can easily leave this chaos, but I am stuck here for long!”

...

”Whoo whoo!”

High up in the sky in the strong winds, Fang Yuan felt extremely delighted and shouted out in jubilance.

After all, whatever he took back this time was more than enough.

He did not have much intention to control Qinghe County. Based on what he had, it was already slightly challenging to control Qingye town, what more a county?

He was even more disinterested in setting up his own sect.

This time, not only did he take control of Qingye City, he could also nominate the governor. This was already a delightful surprise.

”Most spiritual knights in Xia Country, and even the neighbouring countries, are stuck at the Elemental Gathering Realm and cannot progress further... After 200 years of hard work, Liu Yan is now close to the next realm... Fusing elemental force and purifying it, the next stage would be to break through to the Elemental Opening Realm! To use one's elemental force and break through all the hidden locks in the body, one will be able to control his body like how an arm controls its fingers, unveiling the human body's true potential!”

As he thought about these, Fang Yuan grew increasingly solemn as he thought, ”What a pity...Spiritual knights who have reached the Elemental Opening Realm are no longer around. What is left are some information about them in the incomplete inheritances and manuals!”

It was very obvious that if Liu Yan really reached the Elemental Opening Realm, he was the top martial artist in the country. He was even the top spiritual knight.

”Only that...is it even that easy to break through to this level?”

Fang Yuan was very doubtful about this.

There were few highly skilled spiritual knights like Liu Yan in each country who had completed consolidating their elemental force and were very close to advancing to the next stage. But it seemed like nobody had managed to break through, making it seem extremely difficult.

It was obvious that with Liu Yan's advancement and desire to break through to the next level, people around were increasingly worried.

It might even be possible that the unrest created this time was by some people who did not wish to have a spiritual knight who was in complete mastery of elemental force to disrupt the balance of power in the country.

As such, even though Liu Yan looked like he was firmly in control, he was definitely very troubled internally, especially with the problems he was facing emotionally which was the most critical.

”But... what does all this got to do with me?”

Fang Yuan broke into a smile as he thought, ”Who cares what goes on outside? I will just take advantage of this peace before the storm to stay in Qingye City to grow my crops...”

”Once I am able to successfully break through to the Dream-building and Illusionary Divine stages, I can still return and reclaim this old piece of land!”

After becoming a dream master, with the inheritance from Master Wenxin, he would be able to cultivate smoothly all the way to the Prominent Divine stage!

Of course, the dream master's Prominent Divine stage was divided further into many sub-stages. Even attaining the most elementary sub-stage would give one the power to rule an entire country!

”After all, the way of the dream master is to make sufficient preparations before acting. The longer I train the more powerful I become, I might even be on par with a spiritual array master!

”Generally speaking, the Dream-accessing and Dream-building Stages of a dream master can be compared to the Elemental Gathering Stage of a spiritual knight. The Illusionary Divine Stage would be comparable to the Elemental Opening Stage. As for the peak of the Prominent Divine Stage and even the stage of actualising an entire spiritual land, these stages must be much higher than the Elemental Opening stage. As for how to attain it, I have no idea too...”

”Dream-building, followed by Illusionary Divine stage, and subsequently the branching out of a dream master. This is the direction I should he heading towards in the future!”

As he was deep in thought, Iron-tailed Black Eagle suddenly let out a loud call of jubilation.

Fang Yuan was shaken out of his deep thoughts and he saw the Clear Spirit Mountain in sight as well as an extremely familiar looking city.

”Qingye City?!”

He patted the eagles neck and it landed.

”Whoo whoo!”

In the midst of the strong downwash and the sight of the intimidating and powerful Iron-tailed Black Eagle, the peace within the city crumbled momentarily into panic.

”Sir is here!”

Then, a group of riders rode towards Fang Yuan. Its leader was Zhou Wenwu. He bowed and said, ”Hello sir!”

”Erm, it looks like you're doing well as the head of this city!”

Fang Yuan looked at the guards following behind Zhou Wenwu and burst out into laughter.

In truth, these guards were very fortunate.

When Fang Yuan ordered Zhou Wenwu to take down Qingye City, he had no intention of creating a diversion for himself. If Lu Renjia had not ordered Blood Demon and company to retreat, these guards would probably be in great suffering.

Of course, the risk that Zhou Wenwu took earlier paid off.
