Fully Prepared

...

The Transformation Path, founded by Reckless Savage Demon Venerable, allows Gu Masters to transform into various creatures, gaining their corresponding dao marks and amplifications. It's a path with low entry requirements, relying on Gu worms that enable the transformation into beasts. In this form, the user benefits from the dao marks of the creature they've become. Most of these transformations are achieved through killer moves, which are relatively easy to create by combining Gu worms that alter specific parts of the body.

This is the path Fang Yuan has chosen to focus on, while Strength Path remains his secondary focus for now.

"Transformation Path is perfect for me," Fang Yuan mused. "With it, I can create numerous killer moves, and I already know how to progress in this path. Once I get Wisdom Gu, I can even transform my dao marks into wisdom marks making use of all its value."

Then a faint smile appeared on his face as he looked down at his vital Gu.

"What I didn't expect was for Lang Ya Land Spirit to have something like this." He inspected his vital Gu carefully—Shapeshifting Gu, feeling both surprised and pleased.

"This Gu must be a result of Lang Ya Land Spirit's research into this semi-finished recipe." Fang Yuan's thoughts were already racing ahead. "He was clearly trying to replicate Change Form Immortal Gu, which was the vital Gu of Reckless Savage Demon Venerable."

Change Form Immortal Gu had only existed as an immortal-level Gu, and its complete recipe was unknown to everyone. Lang Ya Land Spirit had been unable to recreate it fully, eventually creating the Shapeshifting Gu—a weaker, mortal version of the Change Form Gu.

Fang Yuan's gaze grew sharper. "I'll obtain that semi-finished recipe and complete it myself in the future. The Change Form Immortal Gu will also be mine."

He looked at his Shapeshifting Gu once more, This Gu has the potential to become immortal. it was noted in the recipes that Lang Ya Land Spirit had the incomplete immortal recipe.

Fang Yuan smiled, understanding that Lang Ya Land Spirit had left this note for him ,so he would come to the Land Spirit and complete the recipe as the land spirit already saw that Fang Yuan had a very high attainment in Wisdom Path.

...

Shapeshifting Gu was an impressive Gu in its own right. It allowed physical transformation, enabling the user to change their size, shape, and appearance to mimic anything they had seen—be it humans, animals, or even inanimate objects. Additionally, it had adaptive capabilities, letting the user alter their body's density, texture, and durability while in different forms, granting limited adaptation to their environment. 

However, the Shapeshifting Gu had its drawbacks. First, unlike Change Form Immortal Gu, which not only altered appearance but also granted new abilities related to the form—like gaining wings to fly—Shapeshifting Gu focused purely on appearance. It didn't allow the user to fully adopt the traits or powers of the shifted form. Second, its transformations were often temporary and came with time limitations, requiring frequent activation and consuming large amounts of immortal essence. This made it unsuitable for long-term transformations.

In essence, Shapeshifting Immortal Gu was ideal for infiltration, stealth, and mimicry. It offered swift adaptation to various environments and situations but lacked the raw power of full transformations. Change Form Immortal Gu, on the other hand, was a true combat tool, granting powerful physical traits like enhanced speed, strength, or flight depending on the form.

"Shapeshifting Gu serves its purpose for me," Fang Yuan thought, "I can combine it with Change Form Immortal Gu in the future."

With that, Fang Yuan's mind focused back on his grand plan. The path of transformation had only just begun for him, but soon, he would soar to new heights—unmatched in his mastery of not only Transformation Path but all paths.

...

Fang Yuan began preparing to leave, knowing he couldn't have his immortal ascension within the blessed land. His ascension required a different location.

He carefully organized the vast collection of Gu he had accumulated from the hairy men and those he had refined himself. His inventory now held an impressive array of Transformation Path Gu, alongside Gu from various other paths, ready to be deployed in his killer moves.

Using the A.I. Chip's aid, Fang Yuan had devised numerous mortal killer moves tailored to support him during his ascension, meticulously crafted to deal with the many potential threats he might face.

In addition to refining Gu, Fang Yuan had spent considerable time buying souls. These souls were a crucial resource for cultivating Guts Gu, allowing him to continually strengthen his soul. Over time, his soul had grown to 500 man soul. Although he could have pushed it to 1,000 times, the frequent use of the Reality Simulation ability consumed parts of his soul, which kept him from achieving that threshold. Moreover, Fang Yuan had deliberately chosen not to transform his soul into the form of a wolf, tiger, or other beasts. He maintained it as a pure Man Soul, understanding that this was the best path for his long-term plans.

Meanwhile, the Immortal Crane Sect remained silent, taking no direct action against Fang Yuan. They were patiently awaiting the next calamity in the blessed land, perhaps expecting it to weaken him or provide an opportunity to strike and invade.

In the following days, Fang Yuan continued his preparations, carefully going over the state of the blessed land. He meticulously checked each aspect of it, ensuring that no vulnerabilities would be left behind in his absence. Before leaving, he gave a series of detailed instructions to Little Hu Land Spirit, ensuring that the operations of the blessed land would continue smoothly even while he was away.

...

Fang Yuan was ready to leave, having made full preparations and plans for his next journey. He made backup plans and even backup plan for the backup plan.

Looking at the blessed land one last time, he prepared to use the killer move Defying-Heaven Dark Travel.

Within three seconds, he vanished, leaving the blessed land, heading toward the place he carefully chose for his ascension.
