"Since there's no solution, let's cut it off at the root."
That's what Ninth Sister said.
Fang Zong was also very satisfied with this idea.
Since Earth can't withstand so many powerful beings, then we should just upgrade Earth.
Before returning, Fang Zong had already contacted the Eastern Kingdom's Grand Fortune, and after several discussions, he learned the method to upgrade Earth.
treasure
Countless treasures
All that's needed is to move the treasures from the Great World into the Earth's core, and the Eastern Kingdom's Grand Fortune can use a special method to make the Earth devour them. The treasures will be rendered useless, and in their place, the Earth's spiritual energy will explode even more, using its expansionary force to slow down the Earth's shrinkage.
This is like drinking poison to quench thirst, but all Fang Zong needs is a little time.
"Alright, I'm going to be a thief in the big world."
Fang Zong didn't care at all. He wasn't a person from the Great World, so there was no need for him to think about the Great World.
Besides, the world is vast and boundless; what's a little treasure to borrow?
Steal it from him!
The imperial treasury of the Iron Pen Kingdom is guarded with utmost strictness.
In the darkness, Fang Zong appeared in the national treasury, transforming into a thin shadow upon landing and heading straight east.
"To the east lies the deeper part of the Great World, the territory of a four-star sect. With my strength, it's a bit of a stretch. However, such a place is more likely to hide blessed lands and the Eight Million Mountains."
With that thought in mind, Fang Zong left the territory of the Iron Pen Kingdom and plunged directly into a vast river.
The river water was peculiar; its temperature was even lower than zero degrees Celsius, yet it didn't freeze. Instead, it boiled and flowed even faster, surging and rushing eastward.
Extraordinary celestial phenomena always indicate the presence of treasure.
The waters before them were quite strange, but because Fang Zong had such high standards, he didn't consider it a big deal. The treasures Earth needed were no ordinary treasures; the vast treasury of the Iron Pen Kingdom didn't possess a single one. Even if he were lucky enough to encounter a powerful treasure, he would only use it himself.
Of course, it wasn't impossible for Fang Zong to meet Da Bao, but because the possibility was so low, he wasn't interested.
How can water that's colder than freezing point boil?
As Fang Zong ventured deeper into the river, the boiling sensation intensified, the water bubbling and gurgling as if it were about to cook him. There wasn't a single living creature to be found at the bottom. Fang Zong realized he had been traveling downstream for over ten days and had long since entered the territory of a four-star sect. He became even more cautious, even considering turning back immediately.
A four-star sect must have at least one Dao Spirit level Grandmaster like Ant, and possibly several.
Fang Zong sensed great danger. Not only could he not find the location of the treasure, but the level of the treasure was also not necessarily worth the risk. Just as he was about to leave, an astonishing angry shout came from nearby. More importantly, judging from the powerful voice, the opponent was not much stronger than him.
"Dongfang Qianyou, I treated you like a sister, and you actually killed me for a Dao Seed!"
Dao Seed
It was actually a Dao Seed
When a sect of four stars or higher is completely wiped out, a Dao Seed containing the entire inheritance of that sect will be born in the Great World. If an ordinary person obtains it, as long as they don't die, they can at least become the founding patriarch of a three-star sect. If a more powerful expert, at the Dao Spirit level or above, obtains it, they can exchange it for extremely powerful treasures within the sect.
For Fang Zong, the Dao Seed is equivalent to upgrading the Heavenly Blade Moon Slash by one level, making it a Four-Patterned Heavenly Blade.
According to Ninth Sister, the Heavenly Blade Moon Slash is imprinted with three Dao patterns, making it impossible for ordinary treasures to imprint Dao patterns on it. To imprint a fourth Dao pattern, one would need to destroy more than a dozen small worlds or obtain a Dao seed from a sect of five stars or higher.
Even a Dao Seed from a four-star sect can allow Heavenly Blade Moon Slash to advance one step.
If I upgrade to the Four-Patterned Heavenly Blade, I can open two permanent portals. Once there are more powerful individuals in the Eastern Kingdom, their entry into the Great World will be much faster. This fundamentally solves the problem.
Fang Zong was overjoyed and quietly 'touched' it.
"My dear Sister Xiuhua, didn't you realize that the most precious thing here isn't a five-star fire-attribute Dao Seed, but a drop of Styx Jellyfish?"
In the dark, turbulent waters, a woman clad in light purple armor held a sharp sword, appearing exceptionally excited and triumphant.
Her sword pierced the chest of a woman in black, shattering her heart. The powerful life force of the Imperial Dao level allowed the woman in black to continue living, but clearly not for long; she was merely clinging to life. This only excited the woman in purple armor even more.
"Sister, you are only ranked last among the Four Sword Attendants of my Blackwater Palace, yet all the male disciples, even my eldest brother, only have eyes for you. I am clearly stronger than you, so why am I not one of the Four Sword Attendants? Is it just because you have a face that could bring ruin to a country?"
"Sister Xiuhua, this is the last time I will call you Sister Xiuhua, because from now on there will be no more Sword Servant Xiuhua."
Dongfang Qianyou grew increasingly excited as she spoke. Although Xiuhua was dead and she would have to go through a lot of trouble explaining things to the sect, she had obtained a five-star fire-attribute Dao seed. Even if the sect found out about Xiuhua's death, they would turn a blind eye. She had nothing to complain about anymore. She had become the master of her own destiny, her mind clear, and she was now on the path to immortality.
Even more precious is that drop of Styx jellyfish, which is an innate aquatic substance, the most evil and filthy water, perfectly suited to the cultivation methods of their Blackwater Palace.
If she were given ten years to refine the Styx Jellyfish, even the most powerful of the Four Swordsmen, Shen Yu, would have to submit to her.
Xiuhua clearly understood Dongfang Qianyou's thoughts, and groaned with particular resentment, "You're stronger than me? What a joke! If you hadn't ambushed me from behind, I could have killed you in three moves at most. Dongfang Qianyou, ten years ago we entered the sect together and promised to be sisters for life. I've always taken care of you, sharing all my elixirs with you. Why, why did you treat me like this? Without my care, you'll soon become a plaything for your senior brothers. You need time to become stronger, but you won't get the time you want."
"My Blackwater Palace is an evil sect. What's so great about making playthings? I only need ten years."
Dongfang Qianyou suddenly turned ferocious, her beautiful face twisted in a mad rage as she said, "Your worst quality was your indiscriminate kindness within the evil sect, so you're dead! You're dead, who?"
Suddenly, Dongfang Qianyou turned around and brandished her sword.
Her sword was swift, and a spurt of blood gushed from Xiuhua's heart. Xiuhua didn't even have time to groan before the sword light reached behind Dongfang Qianyou. But even though she was as fast as lightning, there was someone even faster who cleaved her in two at the waist with a single stroke.
"No"
Dongfang Qianyou dropped her sword, grabbed her two body parts with both hands, and tried to keep them from separating.
Turning his head, he happened to see Fang Zong's smiling face. His handsome face was adorned with an unruly smile as he said with great admiration, "What a terrifying Imperial Path Senior! If you can still fight one-on-one like this even after being cut in two, I really am no match for you."
"Spare me! I'm willing to swear a great oath to my inner demons. I'll be your plaything. You said it yourself, I'm a high-ranking imperial lord, I'm very strong, and I'm very beautiful."
Upon hearing this, Fang Zong's lips twitched.
He still preferred women with inner beauty, and without further ado, decisively unleashed one hundred and eighty-two slashes. As the blood mist dissipated, he sheathed his sword, looking at the gleaming blade with a sigh.
