370 Peace (1/2)
Inside the messy stone array, 9 Extremes Mountain.
A boxy looking altar was already built above the entrance of the crypt.
Nearby it, the rites of numerous arrays surrounded the altar with numerous runes swirling around. There was a fierce and mighty aura to it.
Inside the altar, Xing Yunzi sat right in the centre. He was expressionless and spoke, ”The altar has been built, now we just need to guard it for nine days and the mission will be completed. After that, we just have to leave a few men to check on it occasionally!”
Fang Yuan and Zhou Tian looked at each other and nodded.
There was no need for Fang Yuan and Zhou Tian to give excuses or fight to stay. From the looks in Peng Xuan's eyes, he was determined to be the one staying behind.
”Anyway, within these nine days, we might be ambushed by Da Qian's dream masters! We can't let our guard down...” Xing Yunzi gravely reminded. He then assigned Fang Yuan and the rest to take turns to keep watch while the others rest.
”No, wait... this 9 Extremes Mountain is the 5 Grand Organisation's land. Where are the people of Divine Lotus Cult and Evil Divine Sect?”
As Fang Yuan walked out the altar, a thought flashed in his mind, ”Looks like... either there's more than one node in 9 Extremes Mountain or they are hiding in the dark, preparing to ambush the Imperial Court?”
The Realm Alliance suffered great losses due to the Hidden Dragon Guards previously, they would definitely want to seek vengeance.
Ne one knew if this was a bait.
Fang Yuan had never been afraid to judge those in the higher authorities with the worst intentions.
”Sirs, we have already finished building some houses nearby! Come on in and rest!”
Pink Deity was outside the altar and the moment he saw Fang Yuan and the rest, her eyes lit up. She went forward immediately to invite them to the houses and at the same time, gazed at Fang Yuan numerous times unintentionally.
”Haha... great!”
Zhou Tian laughed and gave Fang Yuan a look before walking away. Dream masters were powerful and there were no problems for them to be more easygoing in their private lives. Furthermore, Fang Yuan was young and virile, cough cough...
”Great!”
Beside the altar, a row of small houses was built with bricks. Fang Yuan entered his house and sat crossed legged as he looked at Pink Deity who followed in, ”I understand your thoughts and I know you want me to protect you, but as someone who's painfully cultivating, I'm not interested in romance nor sensual pleasures. As long as you listen to me in 9 Extremes Mountain, I will protect you to a certain extent!”
”Yes, Sir!”
Pink Deity's cheeks turned slightly red as she replied, ”I will pay diligently investigate and look for information to report to you daily!”
”She's smart at least!” Fang Yuan thought.
In actual facts, lust was not forbidden to Fang Yuan. It was just because he had indulged enough in Mainland and was already tired of carnal pleasures.
Now, it was not because he was not attracted to Pink Deity, but because after all, she was still a dream master. It was not good to be too involved with another dream master, especially during such times where war was imminent. Why would Fang Yuan have the spare thoughts to be involved with her?
”Very well, I will not treat my own people shabbily!”
Fang Yuan smiled and poured open his Mountain River Pearl. A few bags of Yellow Grain Rice came out from it and Fang Yuan then continued, ”I'm not used to eating rough grains, you can cook and send these over to me for my daily meals and keep the rest!”
”Yellow Grain Rice?”
Pink Deity heaved a cold breath of air and almost fainted.
Although the Mountain River Pearl and Yellow Grain Rice were rare, it still matched Fang Yuan's position and status. Thus, Pink Deity would not have any negative thoughts about it.
Just that when she saw how rich Fang Yuan was, her intentions to seek refuge with him grew even more.
Fang Yuan was a young man with wealth and powerful cultivation, Pink Deity would be a fool to not keep close to him... Just that it was a pity that he was not very interested in her beauty.
Hence, Pink Deity was slightly vexed at such.
…...
7 days later.
It was totally calm near the altar, there were not even many beast attacks. This made the dream masters felt relieved.
Inside the meditation room, Fang Yuan sat crossed leg and analysed the earth meridian map left behind by Sage Changli in his sea of consciousness.
”There are over a thousand nodes in Da Qian and the 5 Grand Organisations have already made arrangements at many of them. It might be possible that Da Qian did not care about this node...”
After many days of peace, it made Fang Yuan felt that way.
”Just that... I don't think the Realm Alliance is simply disrupting this earth meridian...”
Fang Yuan's face turned serious as he saw one of Sage Changli's manuscript.
”Dream masters are very powerful and can actualise many things. This is all possible due to the world where the natural source of dreams is from. Even a powerful being dream master at the Prominent Divine stage cannot set himself free from this... Hence, centuries of dream masters have been continuously chasing after this dream source world. However, none of them has ever succeeded before and thus, there are Sages who conclude that there is an ”invisible net” in Da Qian world. This is because the fate and breaths of the earth in Da Qian were too strong and hindered the dream masters' search... In actual facts, this was only one reason and not the main reason!”
Sage Changli's manuscripts were all written in an ancient text that was more similar to talismans. After Fang Yuan spent lots of contributions points to buy a book from the Realm Alliance which could analyse the texts, he finally understood it in his own words.
”According to Sage Changli's deductions, Da Qian world's interference was only one small reason. Most importantly, that source world was simply too far away, it might not even be in the same dimension! Even Prominent Divine powerful beings can only passively receive its radiation and would not be able to find its source as their powers were not strong enough!”
”Hence, discovering the source of dream masters and breaking free from the ”invisible net” were merely the most basic reasons. The most important thing was to obtain powers from the natural source which could break through everything!”
Fang Yuan's expression turned cold as he then thought of the arrangements the Realm Alliance made at the earth meridian.
Previously, he would have thought it was to simply destroy the earth meridian in order to destroy Da Qian. But now, with the numerous Sages' calculations, it was truly unpredictable.
”An energy sufficient to break through dimension?”
Fang Yuan pondered, ”I guess taking other realms' natural source is not even enough, but... if it's Da Qian itself's natural source, it might be enough...”
