Fang Ling’s Worth

"Fang Ling. From now on, we shall travel the world together, raising our cultivation level and residing in different clans and sects until we eventually settle down. This is the best course of action right now." Fang Xian proposed an idea that he was sure Fang Ling would approve of.

"Yes, this seems right." He nodded his head in agreement and him and Fang Xian began to walk.

'What should I do about Zhang Liuwei? If I leave him here, True Heaven Sect will find him for sure. I'll have to keep him in my soul land.' Fang Xian decided, he told Fang Ling to wait because he needed to do something and he reached Zhang Liuwei's body not long after.

After placing him inside his aperture, Fang Xian began walking until he felt a peculiar feeling in his soul, it was as if something was there.

At that moment, a voice sounded in his head.

"Fang Xian."

Fang Xian immediately assumed a battle position and roused his soul qi.

"Don't be frightened. I am Eternal Demon Overlord." The voice sounded another time.

'Eternal Demon Overlord?'

"That's right."

The voice was that of a man, quite deep but still discernible. The voice sounded wise and experienced, it reflected Fang Xian's perception of Eternal Demon Overlord well.

'Prove it.' Fang Xian was skeptical but then again, he had no method to get him out of his head and if there was a way to be in someone's mind, an overlord of all people would possess it.

At that moment, the lifespan steal soul beast inside Fang Xian's soul land moved without him willing it to, this was a clear indication that the voice was being truthful.

The owner of a soul beast will forever have their will inside the soul beast, even if they give it to someone else, unless they specifically remove the will, they will still have control over it.

'Haha, to think that you really are Eternal Demon Overlord! What do you want?' Fang Xian asked.

"It is simple, complete infinite space travel immortal soul beast's recipe. During your refinement, I will physically appear, infusing my will into it but still allowing you to finish the refinement." Eternal Demon Overlord explained. "If you do this, I shall help you in the Great Imperial Era War, and furthermore, I shall impart to you an lifespan path immortal soul beast that you will be able to use as a mortal."

'This is tempting, but it depends on the difficulty of the refinement. I will first need to finish the recipe and then I will have to refine it, being able to complete both of these tasks before the war seems to be impossible.' Fang Xian rebutted.

"You do speak the truth, however, one crucial detail is missing from your argument. I, Eternal Demon Overlord, shall personally help you during this refinement." Eternal Demon Overlord proudly proclaimed.

'And? You would just be a liability during my deductions, it would be better if you didn't involve yourself in my matters.' Fang Xian fearlessly replied.

Eternal Demon Overlord was taken aback, waiting for a while before delivering a response: "Do you know who I am?"

'Yeah, you sound like an egotistical bitch to me.' Fang Xian remarked before ignoring Eternal Demon Overlord and continuing on with his affairs, taking Fang Ling out of the sect, walking straight out of the forest and past Zhi Village and Ye Tribe.

"Fang Xian! Fang Xian! You better not ignore me! I have a better idea on what to do with Fang Ling!" Eternal Demon Overlord continually pestered Fang Xian.

'Is this the maturity of a hundred-thousand-year-old being? Maybe I should give up on eternal life if long life leads you to this.' Fang Xian joked in his mind, sending a simple replying message.

'What?'

"Instead of using him to increase your luck, you can use him to increase your lifespan, this is better because fortune path methods are abundant, while lifespan methods are highly sought after and extremely limited, furthermore, you will be able to do this instantly, whereas coercing Fang Ling into voluntarily giving you his luck will take an extended period of time and may never even occur. Don't you want a hundred extra years of life?" Eternal Demon Overlord proposed.

'Great idea! To be honest, the thought had crossed my mind but lifespan steal's abilities cannot steal a hundred years of lifespan instantly, the way you are talking insinuates that there is a method to do this.' Fang Xian's reverence of Eternal Demon Overlord that had completely diminished slightly returned after he heard his words.

"Yes, it is extremely easy. The proficiency of the soul beast depends on the quality of soul qi, I will use the soul beast that is infused with my will to do this."
