Chapter 753: Ransom

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

A Deity Position of the heavens and the earth conformed to heaven’s will and was more legitimate than a title conferred by the Heavenly Court.

Thus, those Gods naturally created had much greater ease understanding the threshold of Ancient God compared to the Gods relying on incense to obtain a heaven and earth position and a portion of the natural source, thereby gaining the same lifespan as the heavens.

Currently, the Heaven Supervisor Commissioner noticed that Fang Yuan also had potential in this aspect and wanted to disrupt it.

After all, the portions of natural source released by heaven’s will to the Divine Dao were already limited. Within the Heavenly Court, the Celestial Thearch occupied a larger part of it, so how much remained for the Ancient Gods?

Every additional one was a pound of flesh from them!

Even with a slight difference in the portion of natural source, the discrepancy in abilities was as great as the distance between the heavens and the earth. This was something that absolutely could not be given up.

Furthermore, there were superior seeds for cultivating Ancient Gods within the Heavenly Court, so why would an unknown person of mysterious origins be needed?

“I must investigate the origins of this God!”

The Heaven Supervisor Commissioner waved his hand and a Divine Dao screen was instantly created. Inside were lifelike images of Fang Yuan’s facial features and even his personality traits.

At the same time, inside the palaces of various Heaven Supervisor Deputy Commissioner, this picture scroll also appeared. The Heaven Supervisor Commissioner’s oracle arrived, “All subordinates, comb everywhere below the heavens and find traces of this God!”

“Yes!”

Numerous replies came and the machinery that was the entire Heavenly Court started operating. The impact created was horrifying.

Various Gods performed their own roles, forming an elaborate network, and nothing in the Spiritual Realm could be missed.

In the Spiritual Realm, a person’s life or death was all related to the Divine Dao.

Even mountain demons, souls, and living spirits could not escape this supervision.

The Heaven Supervisor Commissioner was confident that before this God could enlist into the Heavenly Court, everything about them would be revealed to him!

…

Surging Waves River, the River Earl Palace.

“So, what’s above Heaven Immortal is Golden Immortal. The Golden Immortal has immortality and his essence is at the origin power realm. Ancient Gods of the Divine Dao only obtain a small amount of natural source, while Golden Immortals refine droplets of Spiritual Realm origin power and can fight without boundaries. Above Golden Immortal is Zenith Heaven!”

Fang Yuan held a jade letter and nodded repeatedly while reading it.

This was the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect’s cultivation technique, Mystical Feather Spiritual Sword Classic. It spoke of cultivation to Heaven Immortal and even briefly described the realms after, causing Fang Yuan to treasure this valuable item.

After annihilating the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect, nothing else caught his attention except for their book collection, which he carried back.

“With these books and the addition of other cultivation techniques, it won’t be difficult to promote the Elemental Spiritual Energy Cultivation Technique to the sixth level… Of course, the sixth level isn’t any better than Heaven Immortal and is nothing compared to my Divine Dao rank…”

Fang Yuan shook his head and peered into his sea of consciousness.

Inside his sea of consciousness, a green Heavenly Edict that suppressed everything was the Deity Position of Lord Mountain River.

Compared to it, the River Earl Deity Position of the Surging Waves River was made to wither on one side in grief, like a bullied, diffident wife.

Other than these two Deity Positions, there was another Deity Position being suppressed in Fang Yuan’s sea of consciousness, the Lord Bright Jade one bestowed by the Heavenly Court!

“In fact, with just the Deity Position of Lord Mountain River, I’m still unable to unleash the pinnacle abilities of Heaven Immortal. However, the mutual augmentation of the other two Heavenly Edicts is already sufficient!”

Fang Yuan muttered in a low voice and looked at his stats window.

“Name: Fang Yuan

Qi: ???

Profession: Dream Master

Cultivation: ??? (Untitled)

Technique: Pangu Eagle Body [Strengthen Witch bloodline (1st Tier)], Creation Sword Array [Ninth Sword (100%)]

Deity Position: Three Mountains and Five Rivers Celestial Administrator, Lord Bright Jade, River Earl Surging Waves”

“I’ve finished recovering, and my abilities have finally reached my peak!” Fang Yuan clenched his fists tightly. “Unfortunately… in the Spiritual Realm, my origin power realm peak is only comparable to Golden Immortal and Ancient God. Although I can move about anywhere, if I jump around too excitedly, I’ll still be killed with a slap!

“Furthermore, the Mystical Feather Spiritual Sword Classic has no cultivation techniques for Golden Immortal and Zenith Heaven… Seems like these techniques only exist within the 33 large sects and are the true cultivation techniques!”

Currently, his realm was Golden Immortal. If he wanted to break through, he did not have much confidence as he could not clearly see the path in front of him.

However, the Dao paths in this realm gave him a lot of inspiration.

Previously, Fang Yuan had sought cultivation techniques to improve the Elemental Spiritual Energy Cultivation Technique. Naturally, he did not want to convert and cultivate the Immortal Dao, but instead he wanted to use it to deduce the method of becoming a Zenith Heaven as a Dream Master.

“My Dao of Dream Master is the Dao of Creation… I have already created the Body of Origin Power that is comparable to Golden Immortal, perhaps slightly stronger? However, what kind of realm is Zenith Heaven?”

The strongest within the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect was a Heaven Immortal, so he still had some guesses and deductions regarding Golden Immortal. However, Zenith Heaven was just a dry name that made Fang Yuan extremely clueless and frustrated.

“The Immortal Dao’s Zenith Heaven should be similar to the Divine Dao’s Emperor. There should be only a few existences like that… but to peep at their foundations is really difficult! Difficult! Difficult!!!”

Fang Yuan shook his head and browsed through all the Mental Demon Realm characters that he had encountered.

Although he had not gone to the Mental Demon Realm before, he had already made three enemies.

Among them, Hades and Shang Hou’s true physical body, whom he had both met in the Terra World, were roughly at the Golden Immortal realm and on par with his current state. If he were to fight them, it would be difficult to determine the winner.

With his current knowledge, he still could not make sense of that unknown existence who had stolen the Dream Master Dao path, only guessing that he was in the Zenith Heaven realm.

As for the profound mysteries of this realm, he really had no idea about them.

“However, no matter what, I need to conceal myself in the purple battlefield and devour the Mental Demon origin power… So what I don’t understand Zenith Heaven? At most, I just need to forcibly break the rules! With power, I can naturally break through to that realm, or perhaps first cultivate the Body of Origin Power to its pinnacle!”

Although the Dao of Creation’s capacity was great, Fang Yuan was not someone rash.

“Regarding the Immortal Dao, I need to seek more advanced cultivation techniques. For the Divine Dao, I need to discover the mysteries of the Emperor! But in fact, an Ancient God’s magical powers lies within their heaven and earth position and their portion of natural source! According to my conjecture, the Emperor merely has more portions…”

Fang Yuan sighed.

Perhaps, this could be considered an advantage of the Divine Dao. Due to its reliance on the realm, they did not need to worry about the problem of cultivation techniques and could directly advance by relying on origin power.

Of course, the disadvantages of doing so would be a complete reliance on the realm and ultimately becoming its guard dog.

This was similar to Sun God Ramon of the Monger World. Although he seemed magnificent, he still had to listen to the world should it decide to sacrifice him!

“It seems that perhaps more emphasis should be placed on the Immortal Dao?”

Fang Yuan sat cross-legged and opened up his deity territory.

Three silhouettes were immediately projected. They were the three Heaven Immortals being held hostage!

In the war of the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect, Heaven Immortals Ye Jun and Hui Hai were naturally killed and the sect was annihilated. However, these three helpers were retained by Fang Yuan.

Currently, water chains encircled their bodies and three huge mountain illusions were pressing down on them, completely sealing them from using any powers.

“Good tactic, Lord!” The two Heaven Immortals, Zhong Shan and Zhong Li, finally recognized reality, not having an ounce of arrogance. “Why did you capture us?”

Fang Yuan had already killed the three Heaven Immortals from the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect and would certainly not hesitate to kill a few more. Thus, they could only admit defeat.

“You could have ended this long ago!” Fang Yuan waved his hand. “In fact… I’m also a victim! Everything is the fault of the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect. If they didn’t plot against me first and gathered forces to attack me, why would I find trouble with them?”

Now that the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect has been annihilated, yet you remain unscathed, who would believe you?

The three Heaven Immortals rolled their eyes but still understood the principle of being humble while trapped in an inferior position, continuing to listen to Fang Yuan.

“… I unintentionally became enemies with the Immortal Dao. So, as long as you testify that it was the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect that first plotted against the Divine Dao, I will spare your lives!”

Although he already had evidence in his hands, the Immortal Dao would be further rendered speechless with the addition of these statements from their own.

“The winner is king. Sure!” Heaven Immortal Spiritual Butterfly closed her eyes and was first to concede. “I swear upon my Dao Heart that if I go against my vow, Mental Demons will definitely break out and I’ll die without a doubt!”

An oath sworn upon the Dao Heart of an Immortal Cultivator had similar effectiveness as the heaven and earth oath sworn by the Divine Dao. Seeing this, the other two Heaven Immortals could only take their oaths.

“Fine!”

Fang Yuan stroked his palms as he smiled.

“We’ve already pledged, so when will you release us?” Heaven Immortal Zhong Shan asked with a trace of hope and a downtrodden look on his face. “Do you still want to hold us captive until the Heavenly Court’s person arrives?”

“I only mentioned the price of letting you live, not the price of holding you captive, right?” Fang Yuan said. “Testify for me and I won’t kill you. If you pass me the ancient books of your sect, I’ll release you!”

“The sect’s ancient books?”

The Heaven Immortals looked at each other. “You still want to walk on the path of the Immortal Dao? But if we pass you the fundamental cultivation techniques, we’ll become sinners of our sect!”

“Sinners will be sinners. Compared to your lives, you should be able to distinguish what is more important… Furthermore, I only have some investigative curiosity and can promise you that I won’t leak them.”

Fang Yuan pressed his lips together and made a promise, but did not have any desire at all to swear an oath.

However, the three Heaven Immortals could only tolerate it. After all, their lives were in Fang Yuan’s hands.

“Okay… I can give you the fundamental cultivation techniques of the Spiritual Butterfly Sect!”

Heaven Immortal Spiritual Butterfly had already knelt once, and now, she made another decision without too much consideration.

This was also within Fang Yuan’s expectations.

After all, giving a book with Heaven Immortal cultivation techniques was completely different from cultivating to become a Heaven Immortal.

If he killed the three Heaven Immortals here, even if there were cultivation techniques and resources back at their sects, there still might not be an Earth Immortal able to break through.

Which was more important? These Heaven Immortals were naturally able to distinguish clearly.

If not for them, it was possible for the Bell Tripod Sect and the Spiritual Butterfly Sect to be extinguished just like the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect. Thus, they had to protect it from harm.

After receiving the ransom, Fang Yuan did not break his promise and directly released them.

The cultivation techniques of the Bell Tripod Sect and the Spiritual Butterfly Sect were evidently inferior to the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect’s by a notch. However, they complimented each other and he was able to roughly deduce the Golden Immortal stage. As for the Zenith Heaven realm, there was still no progress at all.
