495 Black Dragon (2/2)
Skill: [Medicine (Level 3)], [Botany (Level 5)], [Fiery Golden Eyes (Level 1)]”
The newest changes to the stats window were the grey words describing Fang Yuan's cultivation as a dream master. These words were now black again, as though Fang Yuan had broken through certain restrictions to allow himself to increase his cultivation once again.
”My Botany has not improved even after planting the Jianmu. Could it be that it is not enough, or that I have yet to satisfy a certain condition?”
Fang Yuan sighed.
”With a paper, I will be able to paint. Therefore, I shouldn't rush into restoring my 8 Gates Sword Array...”
The 8 Gates Sword Array would allow one to achieve the 8th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage at its peak and there was no 9th Tier. This was a major disadvantage and pity.
Considering Fang Yuan's abilities, it was unlikely that he would be able to create the 9th Tier all by himself.
After all, the first 8 tiers were already fixed from the beginning. This would be akin to adding another storey onto a building which would pose many problems.
Now that he had reset his cultivation, it was a great chance for him to resolve any issues he might once have with his foundations.
”I have the recordings and treasures from the Divine Lotus Cult as well as the inheritances from Li Qingmian and Shang Hou. Together with the recordings I already have from the Realm Alliance... I have possession of almost 40% of all the recordings about the dream dao in Da Qian. By starting afresh, I will be able to create the strongest path to follow!”
Fang Yuan felt extremely confident.
Furthermore, taking this opportunity while the other dream masters were weakened, he could sort out everyone. The dream masters of Evil Divine Sect and Baize Mountain would likely submit themselves before Fang Yuan and provide him with their own doctrines and treasures.
...
Just as everyone was beginning to settle down in 9 Extremes Mountain, enjoying their hard-fought peace, chaos continued in the outside world.
The fighting resulted in hatred and suffering for everyone, which was the best food for the Demon Spirits. The demon disaster quickly spread from the Middle Region to everywhere else and everything was out of control.
Those rebels who took the opportunity to take over armies quickly realised that the problem was not about gaining enough territory or reaping enough treasures and rewards, but simply surviving in such times of chaos!
On Baize Mountain.
”Roar! Roar!”
Beasts roared as they guarded the back door of the mountain.
On a closer look, one would realise that these were stone figurines which were full of life. These figurines were able to exert dominance as they fought against the invading demons.
”Sage!”
Sage Baize sat on a cloud in mid-air and there were a few other elders behind him. The surging energy around him meant that he had already broken through to become a True Elemental! He was now a True Elemental spiritual knight!
After all, it was already about a hundred days since Fang Yuan had shifted and altered the 9 Extremes Mountain.
By relying on his foundation as a sage, Sage Baize was able to alter his foundation and push his cultivation as a spiritual knight to the peak!
”This plague of Demon Spirits is becoming increasingly scary as the days go by.”
Behind him, an elder sighed. ”Now, they seem to be just as powerful as our Ten Thousand Spirits Array!”
”Hmph, these are mere pests. If the Baize Magical Beast was still around, it will be able to lead all the spirits of this world to combine with the stone figurines. By then, even powerful beings will not be able to survive!”
An elder sighed.
Sage Baize remained emotionless but inside, he was enraged.
He was a sage in the past and he could control anyone who was unwilling or was looking to rebel. However, he was merely a True Elemental now.
On Baize Mountain, among the few elders, normal deacons and disciples, there were a few who had cultivated in both martial arts and spiritual spells and were as powerful as Sage Baize.
Since he could not rule by power now, compromises had to be made.
Therefore, even as a powerful being, his words did not hold as much weight as they use to now.
”It's useless to say all of these now!”
Sage Baize spoke. ”I can still try my best to manipulate the Ten Thousand Spirits Array. Even if the demons were to give it their all, they will still not be able to infiltrate. We need not be worried.”
”Roar! Roar!”
As soon as he finished his sentence, a roar was heard among the invading demons.
A dragon demon with a lizard's body, huge wings and 3 ferocious-looking heads flew up from the swarm of demons. It gazed down and hollered. ”Submit? Or die?”
Its mind power was extremely strong and many elders of Baize Mountain could feel a chill down their spines. The weaker ones turned pale and many other disciples behind started to faint one by one.
”This Demon Spirit seems to be as powerful as a powerful being!”
Sage Baize had a solemn look on his face as he waved his sleeves. ”Wind!”
”Whooooo!”
Strong winds raged on and quickly formed a tornado. The green tornado seemed to have a mind of its own as it weaved through all the obstructions, killing its way towards the 3-headed weird-looking dragon.
The 3-headed dragon roared as the sharp wind sliced through its neck, beheading it. Its blood started to spew everywhere.
”Roar! Roar!”
With another roar, its wound started to expand quickly and black streaks of energy started to glister. Within moments, 3 smaller dragons appeared and roared in unison as they broke through the Ten Thousand Spirits Array before arriving in front of Sage Baize and the elders.
”This is impossible!”
An elder shrieked. ”How can it maintain its spiritual aura even after splitting into 3 entities? What secret technique is this?”
The 3-headed dragon split into 3 entities, creating 3 new powerful beings!
This secret technique was mind-blowing and too powerful for anyone to conceive! Too powerful for anyone to handle!
