The disturbances in Northern Plains' Lang Ya Blessed Land had long since settled, and the aftershocks of Fang Zheng and the others Undergoing Tribulation to become Rank Seven Gu Immortals gradually dissipated.
As for Yuan Fang's Opportunity, it was only just beginning to quietly unfold in the depths of his immortal aperture.
This Small World was silent and still, yet it exuded a pure aura reminiscent of the beginning of heaven and earth.
Restraining his Rank Seven Gu Immortal aura, his figure flickered as he flew straight into this Small World formed from Heavenly Dao dao marks.
The moment he stepped inside, the world suddenly opened up; the clamor of the outside Gu World and the mundane air of Yuan Fang Blessed Land were completely shut out, leaving only a pure land before his eyes, like a hidden paradise.
Primitive ancient forests covered the mountains, with towering ancient trees blotting out the sky, their gnarled and vigorous branches having grown for untold ages. Clear springs gurgled through the woods, the pebbles at the bottom smooth and round, the water so transparent that the fine sand beneath could be seen at a glance.
The air was filled with the fresh scent of mingling vegetation and earth, pure without a trace of filth. A fierce sun hung high in the sky, white clouds were thin as gauze, and warm celestial light spilled down, bathing every corner of the mountain forest in a scene full of vitality.
Yuan Fang's toes lightly tapped the void as his figure streaked through this Small World, passing through forests and fields, flying from vast forests to infinite plains, from frozen glaciers to scorching deserts, and from the boundless grasslands to the vast seas...
He silently estimated in his heart that although this Small World was not vast, being roughly the size of a few cities,
it miraculously encompassed almost all terrains and climates between heaven and earth—mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, cold, heat, dryness, and humidity—everything was present, making it a miniature complete world.
Before long, Yuan Fang flew to the Peak of a small mountain.
This mountain was planted with peach trees currently in full bloom. Pink and white petals covered the branches, their fragrance drifting for miles. As a breeze blew past, petals fell like rain, dancing in the wind, adding a touch of soft beauty to this pure world.
With a thought, Yuan Fang slowly descended. Just as he was about to focus his attention on this world formed by Heavenly Dao dao marks, his gaze inadvertently swept across the depths of the peach forest, where he suddenly discovered the original inhabitants of this Small World.
These inhabitants were all human-shaped, looking no different from Mortal Gu Masters, with varying heights and builds, but their entire bodies were semi-transparent, appearing and disappearing intermittently.
The inhabitants had been leisurely strolling or sitting quietly in the peach forest. Seeing Yuan Fang descend from the sky with a majestic aura far exceeding this world, radiant and fanatical smiles instantly broke out on their transparent faces.
That expression was just like an ignorant child catching sight of Santa Claus climbing out of a chimney, or like refugees in a desperate situation seeing their only salvation, full of expectation and reverence.
Every one of them stared fixedly at Yuan Fang, their eyes devoid of fear, containing only the most intense anticipation, as if Yuan Fang were a deity who could solve all their Dilemmas.
"Saint! The Saint has descended! Our world has finally waited for the Saint!"
"Saint, we beg of you, please save our world; it's about to collapse!"
Shouts rose one after another around Yuan Fang, their voices immature and urgent, carrying a heavy sense of pleading that broke the original tranquility of the Small World.
Looking at these transparent inhabitants, Yuan Fang only felt it was very peculiar.
This Small World was originally evolved from the Heavenly Dao dao marks within his immortal aperture, and was currently being slowly devoured and annexed by his Human Path Blessed Land. Perceiving that their world was about to be destroyed, these inhabitants treated him, an outsider, as a life-saving straw.
Yuan Fang's gaze narrowed as he looked at one of the inhabitants who was shouting the loudest with the most urgent expression, speaking in a flat tone:
"This world was born within my immortal aperture and has always been within the scope of my Human Path Blessed Land. If it is destroyed, so what?"
Upon hearing this, the inhabitant seemed to have heard the most terrifying thing in the world. His transparent body shook violently, and his voice instantly took on a sobbing tone as he waved his hands in panic:
"Then... then after this world is destroyed, we will also be gone. We were nurtured by this world; if the world dies, we die!"
Yuan Fang's eyebrows twitched slightly, and his tone grew a bit colder, carrying a hint of impatience:
"Be more specific. Don't just give me these empty words. How much do you actually know about the reason for the world's destruction?"
"The world is just going to be gone, we can hardly survive anymore!" The inhabitant paced in circles anxiously, his transparent limbs gesturing wildly, but he couldn't explain anything clearly.
"Nonsense! If the world is destroyed, it is only natural for living beings to perish. I'm asking you, after this world dissipates, besides your destruction, are there any other changes?"
Yuan Fang pressed further, wanting to explore the deeper mysteries of this Heavenly Dao dao mark Small World.
"If the world is gone, everything is gone. We will also completely disappear, and this world will never exist again..."
The inhabitant could only repeat these words, his eyes frantic, completely unable to provide any key information.
Yuan Fang was completely speechless, looking at this group of ignorant and helpless inhabitants, leaving only silence.
He already understood in his heart that these inhabitants had only just appeared and were ignorant; they only knew the world was about to be destroyed but did not understand the reason at all. They were just a group of pitiful creatures clutching at straws.
In fact, he had also thought about whether he could preserve this world, but he quickly came to his senses. He was only a Rank Seven Gu Immortal with limited cultivation; he simply did not have such heaven-defying power.
In just a short moment, this Small World that had not been born for long was completely annihilated and dissipated under the devouring of Yuan Fang's Human Path Blessed Land, turning into unfavorable Heavenly Dao dao marks.
The complete dissolution of this Small World brought Yuan Fang unexpectedly huge benefits, far exceeding his expectations from feeding longevity gu.
Originally, although the ecology within the blessed land was complete, there were still subtle flaws—the distribution of mountains and rivers, the flow of water, and the ratio of dao marks all had slight inconsistencies.
But with the integration of the Heavenly Dao dao marks, these flaws were perfectly mended bit by bit. The operation of the world became increasingly rational and natural, and the blessed land's Foundation surged like a rolling snowball.
Standing in the blessed land, Yuan Fang focused his mind to perceive, and instantly came to a realization:
The core of an immortal aperture blessed land is the balance of dao marks and ecology. If flaws exist, it leads to a massive loss of resources.
Conversely, Heavenly Dao dao marks can perfectly harmonize various types of dao marks, mending ecological shortcomings, maximizing the resource output of the blessed land, and allowing the operational efficiency to reach its Peak.
This discovery was of vital importance to Yuan Fang.
His Human Path Blessed Land had already been managed for a long time and had undergone several renovations, so its resource accumulation was already rich.
Fortunately, his previous layout was far-reaching and he had not placed his economic pillars on resource points outside the blessed land. Otherwise, if the blessed land had flaws and external resources were unstable, he would have already suffered a massive deficit.
Yuan Fang pondered to himself that these Heavenly Dao dao marks might be a mixed blessing for those Gu Immortals who had developed for a while, as a slight mistake could trigger a conflict of dao marks;
but for those newly ascended Gu Immortals who had just opened their blessed lands, it was a heavenly Opportunity that could make their blessed lands near-perfect from the start, with a starting point far exceeding Gu Immortals of the same rank.
At this thought, Yuan Fang made a prompt decision, already planning to promote his trusted subordinates.
He activated the Human Path Killer Move Everyone is Equal, using a hundred-year longevity gu to transfer one Heavenly Dao dao mark each to Little Lang Ya and Gu Yue Fuqi.
These two Heavenly Dao dao marks integrated into their immortal aperture blessed lands, instantly producing miraculous effects. The Foundations of Lang Ya Blessed Land and Fuqi Blessed Land surged on the spot.
A massive number of rare resource points were spontaneously born within the blessed lands, with immortal materials and Mortal gu emerging endlessly.
The richness of the resource output was enough to match decades of hard work and accumulation by other Rank Six Gu Immortals, allowing the Foundations of their blessed lands to directly surpass Gu Immortals of the same rank.
As for Yuan Fang's own Human Path Blessed Land, due to the influx of Heavenly Dao dao marks, it underwent earth-shaking changes.
The many scattered continents within the blessed land began to slowly move, collide, and merge. The land blocks fitted together seamlessly, and the originally chaotic layout was completely transformed, eventually turning into four main continents: East, West, South, and North.
The territory became orderly, the earth veins were connected, and the layout suddenly became clear and open.
In addition, Fang Cun Mountain, which was already the core of the blessed land, now became the most critical core among the earth vein nodes of Yuan Fang's Human Path Blessed Land, stabilizing the entire world;
Qing Mao Mountain, Bandit Monkey Mountain, and other mountain ranges that had been moved into the blessed land in the early years were also drawn by the Heavenly Dao dao marks, becoming important earth vein nodes and forming a complete earth vein cycle with the four main continents.
But standing inside the mortal gu house Heavenly Palace, Yuan Fang looked down over the entire blessed land and knew in his heart that this was still far from enough; there was still a significant gap from the perfect world layout in his mind.
A bold yet fitting idea for the Great Dao of Human Path arose in his mind:
He wanted to simulate the layout of the Five Regions and Nine Heavens in his Human Path Blessed Land, just like Fang Yuan's future Supreme Immortal Aperture!
He even wanted to add celestial vein nodes such as the sun, moon, and stars to the Human Path Blessed Land, making this immortal aperture blessed land truly a complete and flawless independent world comparable to the outside world.
Once the thought arose, Yuan Fang immediately put it into action without any hesitation.
He immediately found the Lang Ya Earth Spirit and, relying on the sect contribution points in his hand and the countless immortal essence stones he had accumulated, went on a massive shopping spree for Mortal and immortal materials to construct his immortal aperture blessed land.
Among them, Cloud Soil, which could expand space and stabilize the world, was the most prominent. The quantity was so vast it could be called an astronomical figure, almost emptying half of the Lang Ya Sect's Cloud Soil reserves.
Having prepared the massive resources, Yuan Fang immediately went into seclusion to go all out in transforming his immortal aperture blessed land.
Only half a month had passed in the outside world, but within Yuan Fang's Human Path Blessed Land, the flow of time had already been adjusted by him to three hundred times that of the outside world. The saying 'a year passes like a day' was exactly this.
AI Model: gemini-3.1-flash-lite
Half a month in the outside world, when converted to the time within the blessed land, was a long span of over a decade, enough for him to complete large-scale renovations.
Besides taking action personally, he also mobilized all the variant human Gu Immortals and human Gu Immortals within the blessed land, with the Hairy People, Stone Men, Snowmen, and other tribes each performing their own duties.
The Stone Men were responsible for excavating mountains and increasing land utilization, while the Little People were in charge of the flowers and plants within the blessed land, ensuring resources developed more reasonably, and so on.
With division of labor and collaboration, efficiency multiplied, and the blessed land renovation project proceeded in an orderly manner.
Time flew by; half a month in the outside world passed in the blink of an eye, and Yuan Fang's blessed land had already taken on a brand new look.
Mountains and rivers were formed, the continents were stable, and only the final step remained before it would be fully shaped, achieving the preliminary vision in his mind.
Yuan Fang took a deep breath, his eyes determined. He used his self gu and resolutely sacrificed a full three hundred years of longevity gu, turning them all into Heavenly Dao dao marks to thoroughly transform his immortal aperture blessed land.
In an instant, Yuan Fang's Human Path Blessed Land shook violently; the earth quaked, mountains swayed, the winds and clouds changed color, the four main continents trembled slightly, and rays of light radiated from the heavenly vein nodes.
But Yuan Fang had long since made thorough preparations; no important resources within the blessed land were damaged, so he allowed the blessed land to evolve and stabilize on its own.
The only ones affected were the Mortals and ordinary Gu Masters within the blessed land, as well as those original inhabitants from the previous Small World who had already dissipated.
Facing the upheaval of heaven and earth, the Mortals were inevitably fearful, but Yuan Fang had long since instructed the variant human Gu Immortals to soothe and care for them, so no panic ensued.
The violent fluctuations from the renovation of the blessed land reached Lang Ya Blessed Land immediately. Upon hearing that Yuan Fang had sacrificed so many longevity gu to renovate his blessed land, Fang Yuan felt both pained by the massive amount of longevity gu and filled with curiosity about the changes in Yuan Fang's blessed land.
His seclusion to refine the Gold Devouring Insect immortal gu and create a Metal Path Killer Move had already ended, so he immediately rose and personally stepped into Yuan Fang's Human Path Blessed Land to witness the great changes in this world with his own eyes.
The moment he stepped into the blessed land, even as knowledgeable and experienced as Fang Yuan was, he couldn't help but be slightly moved.
At this moment, the Human Path Blessed Land, due to the dual enhancement of Lang Ya Earth Spirit's Immortal Path Killer Move and the Heavenly Dao dao marks, had become extremely vast and boundless, several times larger than before; the four main continents alone covered an area of ninety million mu.
Above, countless Cloud Soil had been used to construct two layers of cloud-covered continents, each layer being ninety million mu in size.
Counting the entire blessed land, it possessed a massive space of nearly three hundred million mu, far exceeding the immortal aperture of an ordinary Rank Seven Gu Immortal.
The upper cloud-covered continent was named White Cloud Continent by Yuan Fang, imitating the daytime scenery of the outside world, filled with dao marks of Cloud Path, Light Path, and other Schools.
The climate was warm and humid, inhabited by the Feathered Men tribe, and it bred various immortal materials of Cloud Path, Light Path, and other Schools; various gu materials could be seen everywhere, full of vitality.
Above the White Cloud Continent was the Black Cloud Continent, perfectly imitating the outside world's black heaven.
Pitch-black clouds rolled, concentrating hundreds of dao marks of Dark Path, Star Path, Soul Path, and other Schools, and together with the dao marks of other Schools on the White Cloud Continent excluding Human Path and Law Path, the total was less than one thousand, yet it did not affect the display of battle strength in the slightest.
Besides this, countless rare resources were naturally born within the Human Path Blessed Land.
For example, Qing Mao Mountain would produce earth qi gu on its own every once in a while, and other mountains also successively bred immortal materials corresponding to their Schools.
Yuan Fang traced the source and investigated, discovering that these self-produced resources all came from the popularity within the blessed land, and some originated from the Foundation accumulated by the blessed land itself, so they could continuously proliferate without needing painstaking cultivation.
What surprised Yuan Fang even more was that he discovered a wild ten-year longevity gu in the depths of the blessed land!
This could only be naturally bred after an immortal aperture blessed land had developed to an extremely high scale; it was extremely rare and sufficient to prove that his Yuan Fang Human Path Blessed Land had already entered a brand new Realm.
Now that Yuan Fang's Human Path Blessed Land could even naturally produce longevity gu, everyone couldn't help but hope that if this continued, naturally producing immortal gu would only be a matter of time.
However, the current Human Path Blessed Land, although not as frequently turbulent as Fang Yuan's Supreme Immortal Aperture, was still not completely stable.
Moreover, Earth Tribulations had been occurring frequently in the blessed land recently, but fortunately, the intensity of these Earth Tribulations was extremely low, and with Yuan Fang's Rank Seven cultivation, he could easily pass them without any effort.
It was just that these Earth Tribulations would occasionally trigger small disasters like Ancient Desolate Beast tides, floods, and earthquakes, making life miserable for the Mortals and ordinary Gu Masters in the blessed land.
Regarding this problem, Yuan Fang already had a countermeasure; he possessed the Immortal Tribulation Aperture Refining Killer Move from Lang Ya Blessed Land.
He only needed to go to the Northern Ice Plain and undergo the tribulation with this method; he could change the Earth Tribulations and also take the Opportunity to receive the infusion of Reckless Savage's true meaning, achieving two things at once, killing two birds with one stone.
Meanwhile, Yuan Fang had not stopped the pace of perfecting his blessed land; he personally went to Southern Border and moved mountains such as Golden Mountain, Tombstone Mountain, and Purple Nether Mountain into his own immortal aperture, using them as the earth vein nodes for his blessed land.
Yuan Fang also annexed a portion of Xiao Qiang Blessed Land, turning it into the water veins of his blessed land, connecting the north and south water systems, and trying his best to perfect the ecological cycle of the blessed land.
Besides this, Yuan Fang also utilized the Light Path immortal materials within Xiao Mang Blessed Land and, using the Mao Tribe Natural Refining Method, successfully refined the Rank Six Light Path immortal gu Sunlight and Scattered Light.
With these two Light Path immortal gu, plus the two Flame Path immortal gu from Scarless White, Yuan Fang built an immortal gu house and named it Sun Palace.
Sun Palace hung above the White Cloud Continent, its light shining upon the entire Human Path Blessed Land, serving as the core heavenly vein node.
Yuan Fang also rebuilt the prototype of the Human Path immortal gu house, Boundless City, and transformed the largest city in the Human Path Blessed Land into an immortal gu house, naming it Saint Monarch City.
Compared to his previous life, the current core immortal gu of Boundless City only included heart of the people immortal gu, lofty immortal gu, composure immortal gu, and healing immortal gu; it lacked the multitude of aspirations, lofty aspirations, and popularity immortal gu, but had an additional healing immortal gu;
while the core immortal gu of Saint Monarch City were popularity immortal gu, prestige immortal gu, etiquette immortal gu, gu prestige, and gu suppression.
Saint Monarch City could also merge with Boundless City and the human sovereign banner, two immortal gu houses, to form a super immortal gu house with monstrous battle strength.
However, for the sake of future upgrades and perfection, Yuan Fang deliberately left a large number of loopholes in this immortal gu house; he did not seal it completely, leaving sufficient room for advancement.
Because Saint Monarch City incorporated Space Path methods, it could accommodate a population of five million, and it also possessed Law Path methods, allowing it to change size at will.
Gu Yue Fuqi's life immortal gu, etiquette immortal gu, was incorporated into the core of Saint Monarch City; although he was quite dissatisfied in his heart, he could only swallow his anger.
But what shocked him was that Yuan Fang could actually use the human path dao marks on Di Zangsheng No. 2 and the Thousand Wishes Tree to strengthen his Immortal Path Killer Move.
Based solely on the quantity and power of these dao marks, they were comparable to a Rank Seven immortal gu; his depth of attainment in Human Path had already reached the Realm of Human Path Great Grandmaster.
Looking at himself, he hadn't even reached the level of a Human Path Grandmaster; the difference between the two was immediately clear, and the dissatisfaction in his heart gradually turned into awe.
To thoroughly perfect Saint Monarch City, Yuan Fang went into seclusion for another period of time.
During this period, he successively passed several Earth Tribulations and even successfully passed one Heavenly Tribulation, increasing his accumulation of dao marks once again.
After passing the Heavenly Tribulation, the Great Tribulation was approaching.
Yuan Fang was worried about the Great Tribulation, so he slightly adjusted the time flow rate of the blessed land, lowering it to forty times, which not only ensured the development speed of the blessed land but also avoided triggering disasters too quickly.
Meanwhile, Yuan Fang's second immortal aperture, Sword Path Blessed Land, successfully reached Rank Seven cultivation.
Fang Yuan had also long finished his seclusion and successfully achieved Rank Seven Gu Immortal; he had even deeply uncovered the hidden usage of the Rank Six Gold Devouring Insect immortal gu and created an incredibly vicious Killer Move, Gold Devouring Insect Tribulation.
This Killer Move first utilized the Mortal Path Killer Move level Flower Transfer and Wood Grafting to silently insert a large number of Gold Devouring Insect Mortal gu into the enemy's immortal aperture.
These Gold Devouring Insects frantically devoured resources within the enemy's immortal aperture, subsequently triggering the Refinement Path and Metal Path Killer Moves that Fang Yuan had set up in advance, crazily laying eggs and multiplying.
Even if the enemy killed all the adult insects, the eggs were already deeply hidden within resource points; to completely destroy them, one had to damage their own blessed land resources, making the enemy afraid to act rashly.
If the enemy used the power of the blessed land to suppress them, Yuan Fang's Law Path Killer Move could also resist it to some extent.
Once he obtained the Rank Seven my solitude immortal gu in the future, the power of this Killer Move would multiply several times over, making it impossible to guard against.
In a remote place in the Gu World, a Rank Six Metal Path Gu Immortal was preparing to undergo a tribulation, unaware that his immortal aperture had long been devoured by Gold Devouring Insects, and the underground mineral resources had been eaten clean.
Countless Gold Devouring Insect eggs hatched one after another, and Gold Devouring Insects with Rank Four and Five battle strength surged out from the underground, quickly fusing into Gold Devouring Insect monsters with Rank Six battle strength, sweeping across the entire immortal aperture.
This Rank Six Metal Path Gu Immortal was completely caught off guard and eventually died miserably under the Gold Devouring Insect Tribulation, his body and soul destroyed.
And all of this was not Fang Yuan's doing; it was Heaven's Will that had stolen Fang Yuan's Gold Devouring Insect Tribulation Killer Move and turned it into a disaster.
Looking at the brand new layout of his Human Path Blessed Land, Yuan Fang had a myriad of thoughts.
After Eastern Orc underwent tribulation, he obtained the corpse of a mutated Ancient Desolate Beast and was preparing to refine the stomach bag immortal gu to replicate the ability of the devouring Killer Move;
Fang Yuan achieved Rank Seven Gu Immortal and created the Gold Devouring Insect Tribulation Killer Move;
Fang Zheng and the others achieved Rank Seven, and the Great Love Sect was becoming increasingly powerful.
The road ahead was long, the mysteries of Heavenly Dao were endless, and the grand plan of Human Path was not yet complete.
Yuan Fang knew deeply that a wider world and more dangerous games were still waiting for him ahead.
