367 Node (1/2)
In Fang Yuan eyes, Li Bai was merely a worthless stalk of weed. As long as Li Bai did not come close to Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan could not be bothered about him.
After the banquet, the dream masters returned to their rooms. Fang Yuan sat cross-legged and began detailedly searching inside the inheritance of Sage Changli.
In his actualised dream world, a dragon pearl shined brightly. It was hazy inside the pearl and a golden-green dragon was pulling out streaks from it to be analysed.
”This is the Sage's legacy. As I am only a dream master at the 4th Tier of Illusionary Divine, I can only at most see the middle levels and not its core... However, they are already enough!”
Based on his memory, Fang Yuan picked out a grey spot and analysed it. It turned into a magnificent map of the world.
The vast Da Qian Empire was in the centre with 99 regions in it and it occupied a large portion of fate energy. On it, there were many tiny stars littered around.
”Evidence of fate and breaths of the earth could be found in the world. This was especially so for breaths of the earth, they had meridians which could be found and nodes on the earth…..”
Areas with numerous nodes gathered would form natural prosperous lands and spiritual lands. Some of these areas were hubs of earth meridians and were key positions that would attract numerous people.
It was obvious that there was such an area inside the 9 Extremes Mountain!
”Sage Changli had calculated that there are over a thousand nodes in the entire Da Qian Empire. However, this map is slightly tattered and there are only 365 nodes shown on it, which is the number of days in a year... If arrangements are made on these nodes and they are tweaked during crucial moments, the direction of the breaths of the earth can even be manipulated. This would be a big hit to the imperial court of Da Qian!”
Fang Yuan faced turned serious as he continued to ponder, ”But it seems like Sage Changli's arrangements are not so simple, there's more to it!”
Fang Yuan had one-sixth of Sage's heredity while all other dream masters and Da Qian royalties solely relied on information from Changli's investigations. Thus, Fang Yuan could naturally read more than what meets the eyes.
”It is not so simple to be just about disrupting the foundation... But I still have to wait and see what would truly happen...”
Amongst the thousand plus earth meridian nodes in Da Qian, some were big while some were small. The one in 9 Extremes Mountain was definitely an extremely important one.
Of course, Fang Yuan himself was clear of that and the Realm Alliance was clear of that too. But no one knew what Da Qian and the Hidden Dragon Guards would do.
...
Three days later.
An opening in 9 Extremes Mountain.
In the dense forest, a thick white fog sealed off the opening. It was a powerful restriction that seemed to segregate the mountain from everything else.
During noon, the white fog slowly dispersed and a passageway could be seen.
”When the 9 Extremes Mountain was discovered, it resulted in a calamity. It caused the demise of an ancient kingdom...”
Xing Yunzi stroked his beard and continued, ”It's such a shame that its restrictions have lived for thousands of years and have never been broken before. Especially with The Ultimate Segregation array, once you enter the mountain, not only would your elemental energy be isolated, even your dream elemental energy would be isolated! You must be careful!”
Behind him were Fang Yuan, Zhou Tian and a dream master also at the 4th Tier of Illusionary Divine called Peng Xuan. Peng Xuan was very ethereal as he held a horsetail whisk in his hand and was donned in an airy green robe.
No matter what realm or world was it, power decided a person's standing.
Xing Yunzi was leading them and behind him were the three 4th Tier Illusionary Divine dream masters. Further behind them were the other Illusionary Divine dream masters. For those like Li Bai, they could only stand the furthest away and listen to the orders quietly.
Peng Xuan smiled and said, ”Rest assured, Sir... we are well aware of the dangers of 9 Extremes Mountain. This is why we brought along a few strong men to use!”
As 9 Extremes Mountain was segregated from the outside, dream masters and spiritual knights would not be able to use their techniques freely. Hence, they could only rely on their martial artists as they would be the least restraint.
Fang Yuan looked around and saw numerous submissive looking powerful martial artists as expected. Fang Yuan could not help but to silently judge.
There were no True Divines amongst them which was very normal.
True Divine martial artists had already forged their Divine Body and were not bound by their flesh. They also have extremely powerful divine techniques. If they pledged loyalty to Da Qian, they would get to enjoy a rich and wealthy life, why would they degrade themselves down here?
Only powerful beings at the Prominent Divine stage could possibly have True Divines as slaves under them. But this was definitely not the case for these dream masters here.
”Fang Yuan….. You don't have anyone to order about, do you want me to lend you two?”
Zhou Tian walked forward and spoke in a scornful way.
”No need!”
Fang Yuan took a glance at those behind Zhou Tian and saw a few strong men with bronze skin and divine light shining from them. They were definitely Wu Zongs at the 5th or 6th Meridian!
Such loyal subordinates had to follow their masters closely even in life and death situations. They must be groomed from young and slowly influenced which Fang Yuan would not be able to.
However, he did not felt deprived and instead clenched his fists and smiled inside his heart secretly.
Although dream masters could also refine their body, not many could endure the pain from it. Also, they would not even be comparable to Fang Yuan's 10th Refining Body, what about his current powerful body? Hehe...
”Good, let's go!”
Xing Yunzi spoke no further and ordered two strong men to protect him on his left and right side as he stepped into 9 Extremes Mountain.
”Rumble!”
Fang Yuan and the rest followed behind immediately and felt as though they crossed a layer of the boundary of the spiritual territory.
Their expressions change at once!
”Indeed, there is a layer of restriction that suppresses us. The channel in which I absorb dream elemental force has been isolated, wait, no! I can't say its fully isolated, it is just restricted, like it used to be like a large river and now it is like a small stream. The elemental force which I have already accumulated is not affected. Is this The Ultimate Segregation?”
Anyone who cultivates would utilise magical energy!
