Chapter 366: Aid

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

"Whoosh!"

A blurred silhouette rushed through the forest, across a few areas with perilous dangers and finally arrived at the boundary of Golden Sun Prosperous Land.

As the silhouette came to a stop, the person was revealed to be Zhou Tian in a scholarly disguise.

"Who would’ve thought that a simple command from the alliance would send all of us scrambling about!"

He gazed at the opening of a cave and let out a bitter laugh. "This kid has extreme potential and is able to improve his cultivation very quickly. His level of rights is also increasing at a shocking rate. It only took a while for him to reach the level of rights of a 5th Leaf Cultivator. To think about it, he is now my superior!"

There was no limit for cultivation.

It was perfectly normal for juniors to overtake their seniors in terms of cultivation.

However, the fact that Fang Yuan was able to do it in such a short time considering the fact that things were made difficult for him made Zhou Tian feel that things were a little mysterious.

Now that Zhou Tian had arrived, he walked into the cave and raised an order plate. "I am Zhou Tian of the Realm Alliance and I am requesting to see Lord Fang!"

Since there was a certain level of rights inscribed in the order plate, the 99 Golden Suns Gigantic Array shook and his message was delivered through.

"Haha... It’s Brother Zhou! Why do you make it sound like we are strangers?"

Not long after, the array split and Fang Yuan walked out to welcome Zhou Tian.

"I wouldn’t dare!"

Zhou Tian bent over slightly and appeared humble. "In this mission, we are no longer related based on our appointments as treasurer and guardian. Instead, you are now my superior!"

He solemnly gazed at the order plate. "... According to the elders of the alliance, we are both required to head to 9 Extremes Mountain for official business!"

To think about it, the alliance could have just sent a message to Fang Yuan through the Dream Realm. By sending another dream master to inform him showed their sincerity as well as the importance of this mission, making it hard for Fang Yuan to reject.

’It seems like I’ll have to leave for at least half a year!’

Fang Yuan smiled, for this was what he had expected as well. "After settling some minute stuff, I will be able to join you!"

"Alright!"

On small matters like this, Zhou Tian would naturally let Fang Yuan have his way.

On the contrary, seeing how Fang Yuan treated him so kindly, he shuddered. ’This kid gave me a sense of extreme danger like a ferocious beast. Could he have cultivated a powerful technique for himself?!’

Although he was shocked, a part of him was relieved. ’With him around, we would have a higher chance of completing the mission at 9 Extremes Mountain.’

After a while, a spiritual boat flew out of the prosperous land. Meng Tian, Meng Guang, and the other servants followed behind to send their lord off.

High up in the air, the wind was strong. There was glowing sphere surrounding the spiritual boat, which separated it from the surroundings outside.

Fang Yuan stood at the bow of the boat and was shocked. "It’s rare to see such a magical boat!"

"This is merely a mode of transportation. Brother Fang, have you seen the Imperial Court’s Kunpeng? That is a city in the sky, the ruler of the heavens!"

Zhou Tian let out a bitter laugh once more. "We will need to pick up a few other dream masters along the way. I have prepared tea and some snacks in the room. Brother Fang, do you want to have some?"

"Thank you for your good intentions, but I am good for now!"

Fang Yuan appeared serious. He removed the protection around and allowed the strong gusts of wind to land on his body.

"Whooo!"

His body became somewhat like a black hole, sucking the energy of everything around it.

’I’m afraid that even 9 Meridians Wu Zong will not be able to compare to this body of mine?’

After all this time, Fang Yuan had gained full control of his powerful physical body. With that, his strong body was now like the 4 Emblems Sword Array, something he could depend on to save his life. Furthermore, he had fewer restrictions to use the strength from his new physical body compared to the 4 Emblems Sword Array.

With a strong foundation, the experience bar of the Giant Eagle Metal Body Technique quickly increased as well. As of now, Fang Yuan had already formed the 7th spiritual meridian and had achieved the lowest cultivation required for one to achieve the True Divine!

’The more spiritual meridians I have, the stronger I will become when I achieve True Divine. It’s a pity that the Giant Eagle Metal Body Technique is limited to the 8th spiritual meridian! If I want to achieve any more breakthroughs, I will have to depend on my Hundred Poison Golden Body!’

Fang Yuan long had the idea to combine these two techniques into one. Now that his physical body had been enhanced, this gave him an even stronger foundation to do so.

As he looked at his stats, he could not help it but smile. "With the strengthening of my physical body, the Spirit in me is increasing rapidly as well!"

There were a few changes in the window:

"Name: Fang Yuan

Essence: 96

Spirit: 70

Magic: 60

Profession: Dream Soldier Master

Cultivation: Illusionary Divine (4th Tier), Wu Zong (7th Meridian)

Technique: [Giant Eagle Metal Body Technique (Grade 8) (5%)], [Hundred Poison Golden Body (10th Refining)], [8 Gates Sword Array (5th Sword) (1%)]

Skill: [Medicine (Level 3)], [Botany (Level 5)], [Fiery Golden Eyes (Level 1)]"

With such a strong physical body as a foundation and the fact that Fang Yuan had spent most of his time practicing his martial arts and had nourished himself with nutrients and supplements, he managed to achieve consecutive breakthroughs in his martial arts.

Furthermore, he had the utmost confidence that he could push his Giant Eagle Metal Body Technique to the limit of the 8th Meridian.

However, if he were to complete the breakthrough, he would not have achieved his fullest potential. Therefore, he still required the aid of his Hundred Poison Golden Body.

Something to note was that after reading through the cultivation experiences of Sage Changli and the recordings on witchcraft, Fang Yuan had begun to set his sights on other worlds and had a clearer path of martial arts.

’However... Just my physical body alone is already a powerful weapon in itself.’

Fang Yuan was deep in his thoughts. ’This will be especially so while I’m in 9 Extremes Mountain!’

With that thought, a flash appeared on his hands and a jade inscription plate appeared. The details regarding this mission started to flow into his consciousness.

9 Extremes Mountain!

This mountain was among the 10 Perilous Places in Da Qian. It had a popular legend behind it. Legend had it that an unknown Sage had passed away there, causing its hollow to merge with the world!

Even Sages were vulnerable and could similarly experience death!

With their passing, their hollows would either slowly disintegrate, be sealed away and left for their descendants, or be shattered to merge with the real world, resulting in the formation of either spiritual lands or perilous lands.

9 Extremes Mountain was a mountain range with stretched out for 1,000 miles. In it, there were many unique types of flowers and grass, and countless weird-looking beasts. There were many unknown secrets in it as well, and it was these secrets which attracted many dream masters to explore the mountain.

Unfortunately, there were many dangers in the mountain. Not only did it have many wild and ferocious beasts, a ban was also placed on the mountain by the late Sage. Finally, the mountain had a special property known as ’The Ultimate Segregation’, which would separate anyone in the mountain from the outside. Even natural elemental energy and dream elemental energy would be affected!

It was because of all these unique traits of the mountain which gave it the name ’9 Extremes Mountain’!

"Of course... although it is a perilous land, the potential for opportunities is there. Among the many dream masters who had explored the mountain, a few of them had discoveries of their own and became powerful later on!"

"It was rumoured that the ban imposed on the mountain was incomplete due to the fact that the hollow had been shattered. Therefore, in specific periods of time, the ban would be at its weakest. That would be the best time to conduct any explorations!"

After the shattering of the hollow, it would merge with the real world and even Sages would not be able to isolate it.

Of course, they could forcefully isolate it from the real world, but they would also anger the heavens in the process and it would not be worth it.

Although the 9 Extremes Mountain was extremely dangerous and was a hollow left behind by a Sage, it was still able to attract many dream masters in the Prominent Divine stage.

"In fact, there might be Sages who had already explored it, but we are just merely unaware of it!"

Fang Yuan was lost in his thoughts as he thought about this mission. "... We are tasked to enter 9 Extremes Mountain! Even at the boundaries of the mountain, the other 4 Grand Organisations are already coming together to combine forces. This shows that the mountain is indeed special!"

Because of the Realm Alliance’s previous failure, the alliance had been maintaining a low profile since then. However, the alliance had still sent out dream masters to the 9 Extremes Mountain, and this was the same for all 5 Grand Organisations, making the mountain seem extraordinary!"

"Wait a minute..."

Fang Yuan’s expression changed as though he had recalled something. "The 9 Extremes Mountain... I seem to have read about this description in the inheritance of Sage Changli. It was an important node..."

Unfortunately, he had only read the brief description of it and he had only obtained one-sixth of the full inheritance. Therefore, he was still confused.

...

The 1,000 miles of 9 Extremes Mountain was mostly shrouded in fog. There was a colourful glow covering the entire mountain and lone cultivators who would wander into the glow would all die a gruesome death.

There were a few rare weaker spots. There were either created by fate when the hollow shattered, or they might be weakened by powerful dream masters. These weak spots were perfect for others to enter. Therefore, these spots were determined as gathering points, or strongholds, for dream masters.

Although the 9 Extremes Mountain was filled with danger, the treasures were extremely worth it. Naturally, it could attract and play on the greed of many dream masters.

However, the dream masters of the 5 Grand Organisations had guarded these entrances fiercely, denying entry to any members of the Imperial Court or lone cultivators.

At this point in time, at the stronghold of the Realm Alliance.

A few flying boats appeared in mid-air in the form of streaks of light. They quickly gathered above the stronghold.

From the stronghold emerged many dream masters. They were alert and had a look of anticipation on their faces.

"Mmm, we have communicated with them before. The mark is right. They are one of us!"

One of the dream masters nodded his head. "Let them in!"

An invisible vibration started to spread and the dream masters around started to let their guard down. This was especially so for those in a nearby tall building. Their fierce spiritual auras slowly disappeared.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

3 flying boats slowly landed, creating an air current as they landed. 10 over dream masters alighted from the boat and looked around in curiosity.

’Just 15 of them?’

Beneath them, the leader of the dream masters gave a depressed look before smiling and approaching the newcomers. "I am Xing Yunzi, the guardian of this land. Welcome!"

"Alright!"

Fang Yuan and the rest of them returned their greetings.

Xing Yunzi had an unpredictable spiritual aura. He was a dream master in the 6th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage, one step away from being a 7th Tier dream master!

Although he was only one step away, he was still very different from a dream master in the 7th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage, but ultimately, he still had a chance.

"Haha... no need for formalities. I have prepared a banquet and hope that all of you will join me. We shall rest for 3 days before entering 9 Extremes Mountain!"

Xing Yunzi was a decisive person.

With that, he started to examine the newcomers. Finally, he took notice of Fang Yuan, Zhou Tian and another dream master in the 4th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage.

These 3 dream masters were all that the Realm Alliance had sent to help out.

"Please!"

As his heart wavered, he walked up and invited Zhou Tian and the other Illusionary Divine dream master to join in the banquet. With that, he gazed at Fang Yuan. "You must be Fang Yuan, right? You’re young but you have already attained the 4th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage and are a 5th Leaf Cultivator. You’re indeed a young hero! You are the future of our alliance, and I am relieved!"

Fang Yuan smiled as he followed Xing Yunzi into the main hall.

As they got seated, female servants started to serve wine. He slowly examined his surroundings and noticed another familiar face. With that, Fang Yuan let out a sinister smile.

Across the hall, Li Bai held his head down and wished he was an ostrich at that moment. His entire body was shaking in fear.

After losing his grandfather as his backing, it was as though he had lost his spine.
