753 Ransom (2/2)

”The Immortal Dao's Zenith Heaven should be similar to the Divine Dao's Emperor. There should be only a few existences like that… but to peep at their foundations is really difficult! Difficult! Difficult!!!”

Fang Yuan shook his head and browsed through all the Mental Demon Realm characters that he had encountered.

Although he had not gone to the Mental Demon Realm before, he had already made three enemies.

Among them, Hades and Shang Hou's true physical body, whom he had both met in the Terra World, were roughly at the Golden Immortal realm and on par with his current state. If he were to fight them, it would be difficult to determine the winner.

With his current knowledge, he still could not make sense of that unknown existence who had stolen the Dream Master Dao path, only guessing that he was in the Zenith Heaven realm.

As for the profound mysteries of this realm, he really had no idea about them.

”However, no matter what, I need to conceal myself in the purple battlefield and devour the Mental Demon origin power… So what I don't understand Zenith Heaven? At most, I just need to forcibly break the rules! With power, I can naturally break through to that realm, or perhaps first cultivate the Body of Origin Power to its pinnacle!”

Although the Dao of Creation's capacity was great, Fang Yuan was not someone rash.

”Regarding the Immortal Dao, I need to seek more advanced cultivation techniques. For the Divine Dao, I need to discover the mysteries of the Emperor! But in fact, an Ancient God's magical powers lies within their heaven and earth position and their portion of natural source! According to my conjecture, the Emperor merely has more portions…”

Fang Yuan sighed.

Perhaps, this could be considered an advantage of the Divine Dao. Due to its reliance on the realm, they did not need to worry about the problem of cultivation techniques and could directly advance by relying on origin power.

Of course, the disadvantages of doing so would be a complete reliance on the realm and ultimately becoming its guard dog.

This was similar to Sun God Ramon of the Monger World. Although he seemed magnificent, he still had to listen to the world should it decide to sacrifice him!

”It seems that perhaps more emphasis should be placed on the Immortal Dao?”

Fang Yuan sat cross-legged and opened up his deity territory.

Three silhouettes were immediately projected. They were the three Heaven Immortals being held hostage!

In the war of the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect, Heaven Immortals Ye Jun and Hui Hai were naturally killed and the sect was annihilated. However, these three helpers were retained by Fang Yuan.

Currently, water chains encircled their bodies and three huge mountain illusions were pressing down on them, completely sealing them from using any powers.

”Good tactic, Lord!” The two Heaven Immortals, Zhong Shan and Zhong Li, finally recognized reality, not having an ounce of arrogance. ”Why did you capture us?”

Fang Yuan had already killed the three Heaven Immortals from the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect and would certainly not hesitate to kill a few more. Thus, they could only admit defeat.

”You could have ended this long ago!” Fang Yuan waved his hand. ”In fact… I'm also a victim! Everything is the fault of the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect. If they didn't plot against me first and gathered forces to attack me, why would I find trouble with them?”

Now that the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect has been annihilated, yet you remain unscathed, who would believe you?

The three Heaven Immortals rolled their eyes but still understood the principle of being humble while trapped in an inferior position, continuing to listen to Fang Yuan.

”… I unintentionally became enemies with the Immortal Dao. So, as long as you testify that it was the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect that first plotted against the Divine Dao, I will spare your lives!”

Although he already had evidence in his hands, the Immortal Dao would be further rendered speechless with the addition of these statements from their own.

”The winner is king. Sure!” Heaven Immortal Spiritual Butterfly closed her eyes and was first to concede. ”I swear upon my Dao Heart that if I go against my vow, Mental Demons will definitely break out and I'll die without a doubt!”

An oath sworn upon the Dao Heart of an Immortal Cultivator had similar effectiveness as the heaven and earth oath sworn by the Divine Dao. Seeing this, the other two Heaven Immortals could only take their oaths.

”Fine!”

Fang Yuan stroked his palms as he smiled.

”We've already pledged, so when will you release us?” Heaven Immortal Zhong Shan asked with a trace of hope and a downtrodden look on his face. ”Do you still want to hold us captive until the Heavenly Court's person arrives?”

”I only mentioned the price of letting you live, not the price of holding you captive, right?” Fang Yuan said. ”Testify for me and I won't kill you. If you pass me the ancient books of your sect, I'll release you!”

”The sect's ancient books?”

The Heaven Immortals looked at each other. ”You still want to walk on the path of the Immortal Dao? But if we pass you the fundamental cultivation techniques, we'll become sinners of our sect!”

”Sinners will be sinners. Compared to your lives, you should be able to distinguish what is more important… Furthermore, I only have some investigative curiosity and can promise you that I won't leak them.”

Fang Yuan pressed his lips together and made a promise, but did not have any desire at all to swear an oath.

However, the three Heaven Immortals could only tolerate it. After all, their lives were in Fang Yuan's hands.

”Okay… I can give you the fundamental cultivation techniques of the Spiritual Butterfly Sect!”

Heaven Immortal Spiritual Butterfly had already knelt once, and now, she made another decision without too much consideration.

This was also within Fang Yuan's expectations.

After all, giving a book with Heaven Immortal cultivation techniques was completely different from cultivating to become a Heaven Immortal.

If he killed the three Heaven Immortals here, even if there were cultivation techniques and resources back at their sects, there still might not be an Earth Immortal able to break through.

Which was more important? These Heaven Immortals were naturally able to distinguish clearly.

If not for them, it was possible for the Bell Tripod Sect and the Spiritual Butterfly Sect to be extinguished just like the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect. Thus, they had to protect it from harm.

After receiving the ransom, Fang Yuan did not break his promise and directly released them.

The cultivation techniques of the Bell Tripod Sect and the Spiritual Butterfly Sect were evidently inferior to the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect's by a notch. However, they complimented each other and he was able to roughly deduce the Golden Immortal stage. As for the Zenith Heaven realm, there was still no progress at all.
