Chapter 1703: Avoiding The Limelight Temporarily
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
White clouds moved beside him, winds howled by his ears, Fang Yuan flew rapidly in the sky.
A trace of blood was still at the corner of his lips, in the intense battle against rank eights earlier, he did
not leave unscathed.
Especially at the end, after his plot seeded in killing Zhou Xiong Xin, the remaining three rank eights
decided to escape, they cooperated and broke Fang Yuan’s formation.
This formation was not made by Fang Yuan, Shadow Sect had created it long ago using the natural
dao marks of the area, it was a natural super formation.
This super immortal formation had great power, it was simr to the one that Fang Yuan used to
capture Xia Cha and the rest.
This immortal formation was usually concealed without any exposed traces, Shadow Sect created it so
that the organization Defy could have a base camp when the time was ripe.
Central Continent’s ten great ancient sects upied their own territory, they had the most resources.
The righteous path, lone immortals, and demonic immortals were all desperately trying to survive
between the cracks of these ten great ancient sects.
But the sect system was different from the n system, they only focused on talents. Many cultivation
geniuses did notck talent, theycked cultivation resources, it was the cause of their stagnation.
As time passed, these people naturally developed lots of conflict with the Central Continent ten great
ancient sects.
Shadow Sect thought of this and secretly gathered the Gu Immortals who were unhappy with the ten
great ancient sects, creating a loose organization that was very secretive, known as Defy.
Defy was simr to Zombie Alliance, it was a branch of Shadow Sect. This was simr to the ten great
ancient sects and Heavenly Court.
Shadow Sect had ced some hope in Defy, but unfortunately, it was not Fairy Zi Wei’s match even
though it tried to hide.
Right now, Defy was no more, Fairy Zi Wei held great credit inpletely eradicating it.
Since Fang Yuan showed up and destroyed thepetition locations of the Central Continent
Refinement Path Convention, he had also thought about possible Heavenly Court pursuers.
This super formation was his trump card.
When he realized something amiss, he escaped to this location without going anywhere else.
Zhou Xiong Xin used rumor cage killer move and trapped Fang Yuan, feeling overjoyed, but he did not
think that this was Fang Yuan’s ambush from the very beginning.
The super immortal formation did not let down Fang Yuan’s expectations, when he used it, he
immediately broke rumor cage’s connection with the outside world, beforepletely crushing this
immortal battlefield.
Next, the immortal formation even stopped three rank eights for a breath of time, so that Fang Yuan
had the crucial time to kill Zhou Xiong Xin.
Finally, using the immortal formation, Fang Yuan fought against the remaining three rank eights, but the
immortal formation had already expended itself, this kind of immortal formation created using natural
dao marks had a weakness as well, the environment could be destroyed.
The three Central Continent rank eights knew this and managed to destroy the immortal formation.
The immortal formation was destroyed, Fang Yuan also suffered a bacsh like Zhou Xiong Xin.
Immortal killer moves were like this, the stronger they were, the greater the bacsh when they got
broken, they were simply double-edged swords.
But Fang Yuan was mentally prepared, he was not caught unguarded like Zhou Xiong Xin.
The three Central Continent rank eights did not use this chance, they were bent on retreating.
Fang Yuan did not have an immortal battlefield or an immortal formation to obstruct them, they were
able to escape.
He had peak rank eight battle strength, he could defeat these three people, but killing them was too
hard. Unless he could trap them or make use of a rare opportunity like how he killed Zhou Xiong Xin.
1Normally, Fang Yuan relied on Luo Po seal, spring scissors, winter coat, five finger fist heart sword,
and other methods to maintain his upper-tier rank eight battle strength.
He worked hard to raise these many Immortal Gu, it was not for fun.
But when he became the immemorial year monkey, his battle strength would rise to peak rank eight.
The difference was because of his dao marks!
In the contest for the Red Lotus true inheritance, Fang Yuan neither won nor lost. In the Dragon Pce
contest, Fang Yuan lost. But afterwards, heaven form did not disappoint, it finally found the hidden
location of the crucial Immortal Gu inside Beast Cmity grotto-heaven.
Fang Yuan had also used the dream realm to raise his transformation path attainment level during this
period.
He first used familiar face to disguise himself before entering the grotto-heaven and using his theft path
methods to steal all of the Immortal Gu inside.
Even though that Beast Cmity heavenly spirit was clear-minded, how could itpare to the crafty
Fang Yuan?
At this point, Fang Yuan no longer had any concerns, he changed his identity again and inherited the
Beast Cmity true inheritance.
The pitiful Beast Cmity heavenly spirit waspletely deceived, even when Beast Cmity grotto-
heaven got annexed, it did not discover Fang Yuan’s true identity.
This Beast Cmity grotto-heaven was a crucial turning point.

Normally speaking, an earthly cmity gave a Gu Immortal two hundred and fifty dao marks, heavenly
tribtion was seven hundred and fifty, grand tribtion was seven thousand two hundred and fifty,
while myriad tribtions were even higher, at eighty-six thousand seven hundred and fifty.
These were just the average numbers, some cmities and tribtions were more ferocious and Gu
Immortals would gain more dao marks for passing them.
Rank seven Gu Immortals faced an earthly cmity every ten years, while rank eight Gu Immortals
faced a heavenly tribtion every ten years.
Rank seven Gu Immortals faced a heavenly tribtion every fifty years, while rank eight Gu Immortals
faced a grand tribtion every fifty years.
Rank seven Gu Immortals faced a grand tribtion every hundred years, while rank eight Gu
Immortals faced a myriad tribtion every hundred years.
One myriad tribtion gave eighty thousand dao marks, it was more than ten times of a grand
tribtion, this was also the reason why rank eight Gu Immortals often suppressed rank seven, the
difference in their dao marks was just too high.
Fang Yuan annexed Beast Cmity grotto-heaven, which had already passed one myriad tribtion.
Even though the grotto-heaven’s original owner, Beast Cmity Immortal died after the first myriad
tribtion, the Beast Cmity grotto-heaven that he left behind passed many cmities and
tribtions afterwards, it was not far from its second myriad tribtion.
That was to say, forget about all the other dao marks in Beast Cmity grotto-heaven, just in terms of
transformation path dao marks alone, it had more than a hundred thousand!
And Fang Yuan himself already had nearly a hundred thousand transformation path dao marks! He
originally had fifty thousand, but he killed many Heavenly Court rank seven experts in the River of
Time, he annexed a lot of blessednds and gained a lot of dao marks from various paths.
Thus, after annexing Beast Cmity grotto-heaven, his transformation path dao marks reached two
hundred thousand!
This number was terrifying.
Rank eight Gu Immortals who cultivate transformation path would need to pass two myriad tribtions
in order to obtain so many transformation path dao marks.
Bo Qing was a rank eight Gu Immortal who had passed two myriad tribtions, Duke Long was too.
When Fang Yuan transforms into the immemorial year monkey, these transformation path dao marks
would turn into time path dao marks.
Don’t forget, after annexing Xia Cha’s grotto-heaven, Fang Yuan had seventy thousand time path dao
marks. In the River of Time, he killed the three Xunzi and annexed their immortal apertures, his time
path dao marks surpassed a hundred thousand.
Two hundred thousand added with a hundred thousand, after bing an immemorial year monkey,
Fang Yuan would have a total of three hundred thousand time path dao marks!
What did that imply?
If a rank eight Gu Immortal cultivated time path without any special fortuitous encounters, they would
need to pass a third myriad tribtion.
But after passing a myriad tribtion, they would be a rank nine venerable.
Of course, rank nine Gu Venerables would definitely have more than three hundred thousand dao
marks, this was just a starting point.
Even so, in terms of time path dao marks, Fang Yuan had reached pseudo-Immortal Venerable level.
Along with his rank eight time path Immortal Gu and many useful rank eight time path killer moves, his
battle strength was to the extent of peak rank eight.
Earlier, when Fang Yuan fought against Li Huang, he used Luo Po seal and could not break through
Luo Po seal’s verdant sun me cloak. But now, Fang Yuan became the immemorial year monkey, he
was looking forward to the sh between spring scissors and verdant sun me cloak!
“But against Duke Long, it will still be difficult.” Fang Yuan’s gaze was deep.
There were many things that influenced battle strength, dao marks were one aspect, Immortal Gu were
also another aspect, the immortal aperture’s foundation was another, and number of methods was also
one.
Fang Yuan did notck dao marks. He had three time path Immortal Gu, it was just passable. But in
terms of killer moves, he was too weak, even though he modified spring scissors killer move multiple
times and raised its strength, the core was unchanged. He only had these few moves.
As for Duke Long, Fang Yuan had witnessed his fight against Purple Mountain True Monarch, be it
transformation path or qi path dao marks, he had at least three hundred thousand dao marks.
1Duke Long also had more than three rank eight Immortal Gu for sure.
Duke Long’s immortal killer moves were numerous and profound, especially moves like triple qi
retraction, it was a divine technique that could not be guarded against.
Because of all these elements, Duke Long had pseudo-Immortal Venerable battle strength!
Pseudo-Immortal Venerable had the word ‘venerable’ in it, it was not easy to achieve.
Precisely so, Duke Long was able to obtain Immortal Gu House Dragon Pce in front of all the
Eastern Sea Gu Immortals, this showed how powerful he was.
Even though he got injured in the process.
Pseudo-Immortal Venerable was still not an Immortal Venerable, the difference between the two was
night and day.
Fang Yuan did notck confidence, he was filled with confidence in himself, but this was built upon his
self-awareness!
He knew very clearly how strong he really was.
Thus, Fang Yuan was wary of Duke Long simply because his battle strength was not on par with the
latter!
“This human path people’s usation killer move is getting stronger. Even though I have little
understanding of human path, I can see that the situation is getting worse.”
Fang Yuan frowned lightly.
He had deep wisdom path attainment that even Fairy Zi Wei did not dare to underestimate. The
emotions of wisdom path Gu Immortals were usually not without reason, they were mostly premonition.
“I cannot resolve people’s usation using emperor yama. The more times I show up in Central
Continent and the longer I stay, the stronger this people’s usation killer move bes.”
“But now, the real fight has not started yet, even though many incidents have urred in Central
Continent, they are just small scuffles.”
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan made up his mind: “Raising a troop just for a single battle, it is time to let
them out!”
In the battle against Zhou Xiong Xin earlier, Fang Yuan waited patiently but did not get to meet Duke
Long.
Now that the super immortal formation was destroyed, Fang Yuan had no confidence of facing Duke
Long alone.
To be honest, Duke Long’s refusal to show up was giving Fang Yuan immense pressure and threat, he
had to conceal his traces and reduce the risks involved.
“Next, I will let Bai Ning Bing and the rest cause havoc everywhere. I should try andy low now, this
great battle has just begun!” Fang Yuan’s eyes shined with a cold light.
