Lang Ya Calamity

---

"Fang Yuan?!" Lang Ya's voice trembled with shock.

Fang Yuan smiled, his tone full of righteousness. "Lang Ya, my friend, I've come to help you with your calamity."

"You... how? Ah...you have Fixed Immortal Travel Gu!" Lang Ya was still trying to process what was happening, his eyes fixated on the Gu in Fang Yuan's hand.

"It's one of my trump cards," Fang Yuan explained smoothly. "I used it to get here quickly, just in case something went wrong during your calamity,."

Lang Ya's eyes brightened as he stared at the Gu in Fang Yuan's hand. "Fang Yuan, how about exchanging this Gu with me?"

Fang Yuan's expression turned angry. "I didn't expect you to be like this. I've exposed one of my greatest secrets, and I'm risking my life to help you. I came here as a friend, and this is how you treat me? You want my Gu?"

Lang Ya, flustered and embarrassed, stammered, "No, no! I didn't mean it like that! I was just... I was excited seeing such a rare Gu... I... I...!"

Fang Yuan looked dejected and betrayed. "Do you even consider me a friend?"

Lang Ya's face reddened with guilt, his shame weighing on him. "I'm sorry... I really do think of you as a friend. I was just excited to see such a rare Gu."

Fang Yuan, his expression softening slightly, nodded. "Okay, I believe you." But inwardly, he was laughing. "Land spirits are so innocent... Lang Ya finally considers me a friend. This will open up so many benefits."

Fang Yuan then turned to Lang Ya with a concerned expression. "I came here to help you. After all, the calamity is already dangerous, not to mention the attackers who are targeting you during it."

Lang Ya, touched by Fang Yuan's sincerity, responded gratefully, "Thank you, my friend."

Fang Yuan smiled, seemingly honest and warm. "That's what friends are for."

As they spoke, the ground trembled.

Above them, cracks began to form in the sky, revealing flashes of bright lightning.

"The earthly calamity has begun," Fang Yuan said calmly, though inwardly his thoughts raced. "Heaven's will didn't alter the calamity. Just as I expected — it plans to destroy me after I ruined the Venerable's plan. No need to alert me to its existence even if it knew there's something wrong with me... or perhaps it's just a favor to the variant humans."

"It doesn't matter,... I will always be prepared for what's coming" Fang Yuan was confident about his future.

What Fang Yuan didn't realize was that the future he envisioned would never come. Even in his worst-case scenario, the outcome was still far better than what awaited him.

The sky erupted with a deafening BOOM, a sound that echoed endlessly across the heavens, shaking the blessed land.

Lightning rumbled unceasingly above the blessed land, as bolt after bolt smashed down like a torrential storm. Thunder roared from the heavens, shaking the earth below.

Fang Yuan was ready to unleash a killer move, but Lang Ya quickly intervened. "No need, Fang Yuan. Thanks to your information, I've already prepared for this."

He motioned toward a series of towering metal rods strategically placed around the blessed land.

"Lightning rods?" Fang Yuan raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised.

"Yes! That's a perfect name for them!" Lang Ya exclaimed with enthusiasm. "I forged these using metal path Gu. With their help, I can redirect the lightning, shielding the blessed land from harm and even gaining some benefits from the calamity."

Fang Yuan leaned back, watching as the rods effortlessly absorbed and diverted the fierce lightning strikes.

"As expected," Fang Yuan thought, a faint smile forming. "Lang Ya is well-prepared. I won't even need to lift a finger, yet I'll still win his gratitude."

Outside Lang Ya Blessed Land

In the dark clouds above, five figures stood quietly. Two men, Gui Wang, a Rank 6 soul path immortal, and Loner Hong Yu, a Rank 6 fire path immortal, observed the scene.

Beside them stood the Hua Hai three immortals, three incredibly beautiful and charming fairies.

The cold-looking, blue-robed immortal was Fairy Qing Suo. The petite girl dressed in yellow was Fairy Huang Sha, while the coquettish girl in the pink skirt was Fairy Fen Meng.

The three fairies stood a distance away from Gui Wang and Hong Yu, clearly on separate sides. The Hua Hai sisters glanced warily at the two male immortals, disgusted by Gui Wang's appearance and revolted by Hong Yu's reputation for betraying his own family.

Yet despite their differences, they were all here for the same purpose: to benefit from Lang Ya Blessed Land.

Suddenly, a crack echoed through the air as a bright flash of lightning erupted from above the crescent lake.

"The earthly calamity has begun!" Gui Wang shouted, excitement lighting up his face.

"This is 'Endless Thunder and Lightning Rain,'" Loner Hong Yu muttered in shock. "Its power is terrifying."

Fairy Qing Suo's face turned pale as she watched the scene. "If this happened in our Hua Hai Blessed Land, even with all of us, we wouldn't be able to resist it."

Fairy Huang Sha and Fairy Fen Meng exchanged worried glances. "Can we really snatch Immortal Gu recipes?" Fairy Fen Meng asked.

Gui Wang laughed coarsely, noticing their concern. "Don't be so scared. Just think of how many Immortal Gu recipes are hidden in Lang Ya Blessed Land. Why else would Heaven send down such a powerful earthly calamity?"

After some time of convincing everyone, he pointed toward the blessed land. "The calamity is becoming more dangerous. If we want to take advantage of it, we need to act now, before the land spirit seals off the gaps in space."

"Alright," Loner Hong Yu agreed, his eyes gleaming with greed.

The Hua Hai three immortals, after a moment of hesitation, nodded in unison. "Please, Gui Wang, make the first move."

With that, the group began their invasion of Lang Ya Blessed Land.

After half an hour

The calamity had ended. Fang Yuan sat calmly with Lang Ya, observing the five immortals who had once held such high hopes. They now stood powerless before him and Lang Ya, their once-great ambitions reduced to nothing.

Upon entering the blessed land, Lang Ya had sealed all their Gu. Panic surged as they tried to flee, but Lang Ya had already sealed off their escape. Now, they stood captured without even a struggle, their fate clearly in Lang Ya's hands.

The five immortals, understanding their predicament, bowed deeply before Lang Ya. "Subordinates greet Lord Lang Ya land spirit!" they said in unison, their voices filled with fear.

"Hm…" The land spirit stroked his snow-white beard, pleased with the gesture. "Also, greet my friend here," Lang Ya added, introducing Fang Yuan. "This is Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable's inheritor, Fang Yuan."

The moment those words left Lang Ya's lips, the five immortals looked at one another, shock written on their faces.

"Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable's inheritor?!" they exclaimed inwardly, their thoughts racing as they processed the gravity of the situation. The three women among them, the Hua Hai sisters, exchanged glances before casting charming looks in Fang Yuan's direction.

Fang Yuan, noticing their flirtatious gazes, felt a stirring of lust.

Fairy Huang Sha, the petite girl in yellow, had skin as white and tender as freshly peeled fruit, her eyes brimming with a hidden allure.

Fairy Fen Meng, dressed in pink, exuded the mature charm of a coquettish beauty.

Fairy Qing Suo, in her blue robe, was cold and aloof, her snow-white skin adding to her untouchable aura.

For a moment, Fang Yuan's emotions wavered. "How could the past me feel nothing in the face of such beauty?" he thought, struggling to regain his composure. He hadn't touched a woman in his life, and now, faced with fairies whose beauty surpassed that of even the stars in his previous world, the temptation was undeniable.

But he quickly calmed down. "I need a female slave for my plan," he thought coldly. "These immortals will serve me well, especially since they control the Hua Hai blessed land. I can use them, discard them, whenever I need."

"It's not that I can't control myself," he reasoned. "But sometimes, one needs to vent. I'm not a clone of him. I'm me."

Turning to Lang Ya, Fang Yuan spoke, his voice measured. "My friend, how about selling these five immortals to me? I need them for important matters. You could even lend them to me for ten years, and I would return them afterward. I'll compensate you if any are lost or damaged."

Lang Ya paused from preparing tea, surprised. "You want them? Well, because of your help and the information you've provided, I could sell them to you at a low price. But…" Lang Ya hesitated. "You've just ascended. Do you even have enough to buy them?"

Fang Yuan smiled. "I've prepared some funds for an occasion like this. And I could owe you, completing your recipes until my debt is paid."

Then, with a more serious expression, Fang Yuan continued, "I also have a prophecy concerning the future of the hairy men, Lang Ya. You'll be very interested in this, my friend."

Lang Ya's eyes widened. "The future of the hairy men?" He looked intently at Fang Yuan, curiosity piqued.

After some time he said "I want to know, but we'll need an agreement first. It's not that I don't trust you, my friend, but I need assurance."

"Of course," Fang Yuan nodded, his face calm, though his mind was already racing. Hahaha, Lang Ya already trusts in my wisdom attainment. With my prediction about the calamity, he already believes I can foresee the future.

"All living beings want the easy way," Fang Yuan thought, a smirk forming inwardly. "They want to know what the future will be for them—it's only natural. But for me, it's Perfect, everything is falling into place. Soon, I'll even have the chance to get an immortal wisdom inheritance."

Lang Ya took out an information path Gu, and the two began drafting the agreement. Fang Yuan carefully chose his words, aided by the AI chip, ensuring his statements would be perfect for him.

The agreement was clear: Fang Yuan's prophecy about the future of the hairy men would be true, and he would not lie about it to Lang Ya.

Once the contract was sealed, Lang Ya's excitement bubbled over. "Now, tell me! Tell me what will happen to the hairy men!"

Fang Yuan smiled.

"In the future, the hairy men will stand equal to humans in rights. They'll be able to go out without fear."

"Their status will become so noble that many super force will welcome them with open arms."

" The hairy men will grow into a powerful force, one to be respected by all, even becoming the envy of a lot of humans and variant humans"

As Fang Yuan finished, the air around them grew still. Lang Ya was stunned, as were the five immortals.

Inwardly, Fang Yuan grinned. "Yes, that's the future I know about. Of course, I left out a few… minor details, haha!"
