333 Taking Over (1/2)

”Ah... Is it completed?”

He Qing was stunned. He had only just asked for assistance moments ago. All Fang Yuan did was close his eyes for a few moments before telling He Qing that everything was done and that he could directly visit the Three Suns Sect once more.

'Is he trying to trick me?'

He Qing was speechless. Seeing how awe-inspiring Fang Yuan was as he waved his hands, He Qing did not dare to utter a single word as he walked out, confused.

Thoughts ran wild in his mind. In a few moments, he came to a conclusion. ”Regardless, I must try a few more times to show my sincerity... As for this place, I shall dispatch a few servants to serve him and we'll see what to do next after knowing the outcome...”

With that, he ordered his housekeeper to prepare gifts once more and headed to the mountain again.

...

Three Suns Sect.

”Zhantang, go to the gates. If you see He Qing, bring him to me!”

Three Suns Daoist, who was in meditation, opened his eyes and mumbled.

”Master?”

Yang Zhantang was confused. He did not know what had just happened.

This person has a backing. It is the request of the guardian of Golden Sun Prosperous Land for me to meet him. Furthermore... we've received quite a lot of gifts from them. If he has the potential, we can allow him to join us!”

Three Suns Daoist stroked his beard as his eyes glistened. ”Why... are you unwilling?”

”I don't dare!”

Yang Zhantang shuddered. He knew that his master had found out about his doings. Uncontrollably, he knelt down and asked for forgiveness.

”I know what you are thinking. Do you really think I will hand everything down to an outsider?”

Three Suns Daoist shook his head with an impatient look. ”The appointment as head of the Three Suns Sect is yours sooner or later. However, looking at your attitude and personality, you still need to undergo training. If you are so unforgiving of others, how can you achieve great things in the future?”

”Master... Uncle!”

Yang Zhantang was relieved and shocked at the same time as he almost teared up. ”I'll go out this instant to invite my junior!”

With that promise, he knew he had to change for the better and assume the role of a senior.

”Keke...”

Seeing his silhouette leaving, Three Suns Daoist revealed a mysterious smile.

He was speaking the truth, However, it would be after his death. Seeing how things were, if Three Suns Daoists' nephew disciple could not achieve the 4th Tier of a spiritual knight, he would have to spend his whole life as a disciple, serving his master.

”There's no other choice... a dream master lives for far too long, and I was fortunate enough to have obtained a large amount of Life Redeeming Pills... Everyone wants to take over me, but no one knows that I will live longer than all my disciples. Therefore, I am not lying to you... However, Fang Yuan seems to be hinting that this is the intention of the Smelter's faction! Regardless, I shall just agree to his request for the sake of the alliance...”

To him, it was perfectly alright to have another disciple. This was how carefree a dream master could be.

Furthermore, he would have the chance to squeeze his new disciple dry. After accepting He Qing for the sake of Fang Yuan, he could thereafter reap benefits from him.

This was what he was planning for all this while.

Everything was merely returning to the original plan.

...

”After helping He Qing this time, it's time I should go and take over my plot of land...”

By requesting a favour for He Qing, it was enough to repay all that he had done for Fang Yuan.

Furthermore, at this point in time, his physical body had recovered completely and the 3 swords in his actualised dream world were fully restored. He had restored his peak condition and was about to leave to claim his rewards.

Throwing a gold ingot on the counter, Fang Yuan left the inn.

Outside, a few servants were looking about. Ignoring them, Fang Yuan walked straight out.

They were like blind people. Although they had opened their eyes wide, they still could not see Fang Yuan and were still attempting to look into the inn.

Golden Sun City was in the centre of Cloud Region. People from all around the region came here to trade and it was a bustling city.

In the vicinity, there were a few mountains and valleys. According to the Fengshui of this place, it was a favourable location to gather auspicious energy.

Therefore, the Three Suns Sect has chosen this place to set up the sect. Similarly, other sects had followed suit.

Golden Sun Mountain.

In the dense vegetation, Fang Yuan rushed inwards like the wind. As he entered the depths of the forest, he arrived at a place where no hunters or herb pluckers would ever dare to venture.

In the deep mountains, there was an unpleasant stench. Mutated beasts roamed the area and many species of flowers and grass were competing to grow. The entire place was an indescribable danger.

”The Realm Alliance, Baize Mountain, Divine Lotus Cult, Evil Divine Sect and Source Seeking Sect... Even the 5 most powerful organisations of the dream masters are but empty shells, feeding on a foundation and a source of energy. Where does the foundation come from? The Hidden Dragon Guards of the Da Qian depend on the royal family, and on that note, the 5 Grand Organisations would have lost out. However, they can create their own prosperous land filled with spiritual energy... Of course, most importantly, they will have to feed on the spiritual lands created by 7th Tier Illusionary Divine dream masters or the hollows created by the Prominent Divine dream masters! These scattered prosperous lands and spiritual lands are thus created in the process, but are meaningless to them!”

As he continued on his way, Fang Yuan slowly digested the information which he had previously obtained from the Realm Alliance.

”Of course, the great powers would belong to their own factions. As soon as the hollows or spiritual lands are created, they would first use it to benefit members of their own factions and this is only normal... To new members like us, it would be extremely hard even to help them manage these publicly-available prosperous lands!”

Since he was not a direct descendant of a powerful being, it would be even more difficult for him to access such a land. However, things were different now that he had traded for one such piece of land.
