Preparing to Leave

Thank you all.

When I made the previous announcement, I honestly didn't expect any support at all. I was pretty sure there wouldn't be any. But your comments, your support on Patreon, and your encouragement have made me really happy. Words can't fully express how grateful I am to each of you.

Starting today, I'll continue publishing daily as always—unless something unexpected happens. For those who are interested, there are already 6 advanced chapters on Patreon, and that will increase to 10 chapters in the next few days.

Fang Yuan sat comfortably, glancing through He Feng Yang's reply. With just a brief scan, he grasped the content. The deal had been agreed upon, but He Feng Yang had also added a request for guts Gu, offering rare items such as Rank 5 Relic Gu in return.

"Hahaha," Fang Yuan chuckled softly. "If only he knew I'm already a Rank 5 peak-stage Gu Master and I probably have more Relic and Lifespan Gu than he could dream of. I really wonder how he would react."

Fang Yuan was in a good mood. His plans for the Northern Plains were about to begin. The transaction with Immortal Crane Sect was beneficial, and He Feng Yang had even given him Gu worms he hadn't asked for.

"I'll remember this generous contribution of yours, He Feng Yang."

At the end of the letter, He Feng Yang proposed a time for the exchange and requested Fang Yuan to use the Hole Earth Gu to facilitate the transportation of the Rockmen. Fang Yuan had planned to sell seventy thousand Rockmen, and since they couldn't leave the Blessed Land through ordinary means, the Hole Earth Gu, a large-scale transportation Gu, was the perfect solution.

Reading this, Fang Yuan activated his flying sword letter Gu and wrote back, expressing his concerns. "I am worried that your Hole Earth Gu may contain traps. I will refine it myself."

Half a day later, He Feng Yang received Fang Yuan's letter.

"What? He doesn't want to use my Hole Earth Gu?!" He Feng Yang was furious. But soon, he calmed himself, preparing to send a reply—keeping the deal intact was too valuable for him now.

Just as he began to write, a thunderous voice echoed outside his chamber.

"He Feng Yang, get out here!"

He Feng Yang was startled, recognizing the unmistakable authority in the voice. Puzzled, he left his chamber, only to be met by the sight of Feng Jiu Ge, the Immortal Crane Sect's most hated figure, towering above him with a gaze that radiated cold fury.

Feng Jiu Ge glared at He Feng Yang, his tone sharp as a blade. "You like protecting Fang Yuan, don't you? Then you should be happy to take a beating for him!"

Before He Feng Yang could even process what was happening, Feng Jiu Ge lunged forward. He had no time to speak, let alone defend himself, as the powerful Immortal unleashed his wrath.

...

Five days later, Fang Yuan finally received the materials he had requested from He Feng Yang, along with an unusually delayed reply. His brow furrowed in curiosity as he opened the letter.

To his amusement, the letter was filled with a tirade of insults. He Feng Yang had said every insult he can name —shameless, unscrupulous, devious, vile. The insults didn't stop there; they extended even to Fang Yuan's ancestors, damning them all with colorful curses. At the end of the letter, He Feng Yang had gone as far as to reduce the agreed-upon price, clearly venting his anger.

Fang Yuan read through it, smiling to himself, not the least bit concerned. "I got what I wanted anyway."

Unfazed by He Feng Yang's insults, Fang Yuan simply moved on to the next step of his plan.

"A.I. Chip, assist me in refining Hole Earth Gu."

[Beep. Mission established.]

...

AFTER Fang Yuan successfully refined the Hole Earth Gu and sent it back to He Feng Yang.

In the northern area of Hu Immortal Blessed Land, Fang Yuan inspected the surroundings before taking out the Hole Earth Gu. Being a special Rank 5 Gu, it required the power of a Rank 5 peak-stage Gu Master to activate it. Fang Yuan used his primeval essence, and the Gu burst forth with scarlet light, sinking into the ground.

In an instant, the earth trembled. A red beam shot into the sky, and a large crack, about 270 feet wide, appeared in the earth. The ground around the crack bulged, resembling lips with rows of stone teeth that slowly parted, revealing an eerie, yawning cave.

"Master, I'm hungry..." The giant, lip-like crack spoke, its voice shaking the ground.

Fang Yuan took out a Primeval Elder Gu. With a calm expression, he poured a massive amount of primeval stones into the opening—nearly two hundred thousand. Once satisfied, he returned the Primeval Elder Gu to his aperture.

The lip-like crack ground the stones into dust, swallowing them with a loud gulp that echoed through the mountains. After consuming the stones, it fell silent.

The Hole Earth Gu was now established, waiting for He Feng Yang's sub Gu to link the two locations.

Feeding this transportation Gu was costly. Fang Yuan would need to provide it with two hundred thousand primeval stones annually, with additional costs every time it was activated.

"Land spirit, guard this place carefully," Fang Yuan commanded Little Hu, his tone serious. "If any immortal methods are used to invade from here, cut this area off from the Blessed Land."

"Yes, master," Little Hu replied, worry creasing her face. She hated the idea of losing more of the Blessed Land.

"Now, let's proceed with our first trade."

At Fei He Mountain

 Immortal Crane Sect's disciples stood beside the sub Gu of Hole Earth Gu, diligently counting the Rockmen emerging from the large lips-like crack.

"511, 512, 513...." the disciples murmured as they restrained each Rockman that come out, immobilizing them as soon as they touched the ground.

The transaction was a massive gain for Fang Yuan. In exchange for the seventy thousand Rockmen, he earned over one million primeval stones, along with a lot of Gu worms and materials.

"Now it's time to leave," Fang Yuan said, his voice calm but filled with purpose. "A.I. Chip, how is the progress of the killer move?"

[Scanning. It's 99%... 100%. The killer move is now complete.]

For months, Fang Yuan had been making meticulous preparations, his mind calculating every possibility for his venture into the Northern Plains. The A.I. Chip's simulations were a critical component of his plans, helping him creating the killer move that would be central to his success.

The core of this new killer move was none other than the Fixed Travel Immortal Gu, one of the most coveted treasures in the world of Gu Masters. With it, Fang Yuan could traverse great distances instantly—a tool that would allow him to strike, escape, and outmaneuver his enemies with ease.

it was an Immortal killer move.

Sitting in his quiet chamber, Fang Yuan's thoughts shifted to his current strength. His wealth had grown beyond what he once imagined, and now, as a Rank 5 peak Gu Master with 90% aptitude.

He had amassed a collection of Gu worms ranging from rank 1 to rank 4, each ready to be used in a variety of plans. The amount of materials he had collected was enough to sustain him through years of cultivation and experimentation.

"Northern Plains," he whispered, his voice barely audible but filled with steely determination. "I'm coming."

With the killer move complete and his plans in place, Fang Yuan's new journey was about to begin.
