1086 Famous (1/2)
”It seems like Immortal Tai Xuan is planning to defend this position while waiting for reinforcements… But he's bound to be disappointed…”
Fang Yuan's main body kept flashing, and he was thousands of kilometers away before long.
He was merely one step away from completely comprehending the Nomological Laws of Time, and the Torch Dragon clone only meant an additional life to him now.
When Immortal Tai Xuan's reinforcements arrived to attack the Thirty-Three-Level Outer Heaven Tower, that would be when he would feel the most desperate.
Moreover, even if Fang Yuan's Torch Dragon clone was forced into a corner, it could still abandon the treasure and escape alone.
Presumably, with the support of the Illusion Realm's nomological laws, no Grand Unity would be able to stop him.
”The comprehension of nomological laws accompanies the Essence Soul. My main body and clone now both possess incredible combat strength and are capable of using the fused nomological laws… Even if the Torch Dragon clone falls, it won't affect my perception of the nomological laws.
”The Sixteen Countries… are no longer able to satisfy me. After raking in what I can, I'll leave for the Great Sage Immortal World! Hmph! Heavenly Circuit Immortal Sect… Immortal Tai Xuan, I will remember this enmity.”
With a flash, Fang Yuan arrived in Qingfeng City.
”Who?” Within a cave, Venerable Lie Huo suddenly rose, and Qian Xingzi, the Miscellaneous House Master, Madam Hua Rui, and the cultivator carrying a sword rushed over.
Seeing Fang Yuan, traces of astonishment and terror flashed in their eyes.
”Situ Zhaixing… I am the one responsible for everything, and they had nothing to do with it!” Venerable Lie Huo took in a deep breath as a light flashed in his palm, and over ten Dao Comprehension Stones appeared. ”Regardless of whether you want to seize or kill, come at me alone!”
”Big Brother…” Madam Hua Rui's eyes turned red.
”Cough cough… City Master seems to have misunderstood!” Fang Yuan coughed.
Strictly speaking, these people had only invited him to explore the Outer Heaven Tower once, and he had sneaked in the second time. It was entirely Venerable Lie Huo's freedom to invite whichever Immortals here, so there was really no reason to blame Venerable Lie Huo.
However, his reputation for being ruthless had frightened these Nascent Soul cultivators.
”Then, I wonder why Brother Situ is visiting?” Venerable Lie Huo released a deep breath but did not dare to relax.
”For information!” Fang Yuan smiled. ”I want the locations of all the immortal sects, famous treasures, mystic techniques, and so on within the Sixteen Countries… Of course, you should add valuable heavenly materials and earthly treasures as well!”
”This…” Venerable Lie Huo's forehead was dripping with sweat. This number one godly thief in the world obviously had bad intentions.
However, the losses of the Orthodox Dao and the Demon Dao had nothing to do with him, so he did not hesitate. ”Third Brother!”
”Got it, Big Brother!” The Miscellaneous House Master's expression changed, but he still took out a bright yellow jade scroll and handed it to Fang Yuan. ”This 'Illustrated Treatise of the Sixteen Counties' is the fruit of our Qingfeng City's labor. It records everything in the Sixteen Countries, such as each country's forces and cultivation scenes, cultivation techniques, and even places with valuable minerals!”
”Not bad! Not bad at all!” Fang Yuan inspected it and found that each bamboo slip in the scroll was refined using yellow jade and turned into immortal jade slips that could store a massive amount of information. The descriptions inside were extremely detailed, and it seemed like a treasure meant for the sole use of Qingfeng City.
And now, it was something for him to make use of.
In Fang Yuan's opinion, this encyclopedia of the Sixteen Countries was not any worse than an immortal artifact!
”Thank you for the gift! I'll be leaving now!”
Fang Yuan cupped his hands lightly before teleporting away.
After he left, the Miscellaneous House Master exclaimed, ”Big Brother! That illustrated treatise was something we spent years on. How could we just give it to him like that?”
”He's merely at Golden Core. Even with his mysterious magical power, he shouldn't be that hard to deal with.” Madam Hua Rui was also indignant.
”Speak cautiously! From today onward, no one is to say anything like that!” Venerable Lie Huo released a deep breath as he wiped his cold sweat and passed a jade talisman to them. ”Take a good look! This is the latest news from the mysterious realm!”
”What? This Situ Zhaixing…” The Miscellaneous House Master turned deathly pale, not knowing what to say.
”Killing an Immortal as a mortal! Killing multiple Immortals…” Madam Hua Rui patted her chest in fear. ”Fortunately, we didn't offend Senior Situ earlier!”
”No, given the strength of his spiritual will… Even though he left, I have no doubt that he'd still be able to hear our conversation!” Venerable Lie Huo said solemnly.
”What?!” Madam Hua Rui changed color and covered her delicate mouth.
”Of course… I doubt he's bored enough to do that. His current target should be the Orthodox and Demon sects!” Venerable Lie Huo smiled.
”What… Big Brother is scaring me again!” Madam Hua Rui pouted coquettishly.
”Haha…” The other city masters chuckled, and Venerable Lie Huo continued, ”This time, the Immortals from the Orthodox Dao and the Demon Dao suffered tremendously, and it seems like Senior Situ is not prepared to let them off and is planning to kill his way to their sects… This is a golden opportunity bestowed by heaven that we can't miss!”
”True, but we itinerant cultivators might not be able to gain much from it…” Qian Xingzi commented worryingly.
Looking at the Dao Comprehension Stones in front of him, Venerable Lie Huo set his resolve. ”That's why I am going to transcend the tribulation and ascend to Immortal!”
”Ascend?” The other four Nascent Soul city masters trembled, their expressions a mixture of yearning and fear.
…
Three days later, Kun Yun Sect.
As the leader of the Orthodox Dao, it had an incredible accumulation of resources. After losing its sect master, it became the perfect pushover, and since it was not far away, Fang Yuan went there first.
The sect was located within the depths of a mountain range and surrounded by layers of mist, clearly some impressive protective arrays and restrictions.
”Tsk tsk… This Kun Yun Sect's countless years of accumulation is definitely not a small number!”
