This blessednd was very unique.
The entire terrain was a shallow beach.
Jade green water that was less than three meters deep,rge numbers of rocks piled on the beach, like ink on a casually drawn canvas, they resembled strokes and lines that weaved together.
There were many pools of green water, some formedkes, some formed tiny seas, it was distributed like a pieces of a chessboard.
“This is quite simr to Dong Fang tribe’s Jade Pool blessednd.” Fang Yuan thought to himself.
But he was aware that this ce was different from Jade Pool blessednd at its core.
Jade Pool blessednd was filled with many deep pools, there were tens of thousands of them, resembling the stars in the sky, forming a beautiful sight. And inside the jade pools, the water was different and bred countless aquatic species.
But the water here was connected to the same source. Because there were crevices between the rocks that formed the terrain of the beach.
Fang Yuan looked, there wererge numbers of fish and prawns, all sorts of aquatic insects and mortal Gu. Under the beach, in the crevices, there were seashells, mussels, seaweed, and others.
But what was most abundant was a type of snake.
This snake was pinkish red in color, it was small and delicate, about the size of an adult’s thumb, smaller ones were only a few centimeters.
This was a spirit snake.
Gu Immortal Han Dong specialized the most in this transformation.
This was Han Dong’s blessednd.
Han Dong was one of the Traveling Three Elites, back then when Dong Fang Chang Fan possessed Dong Fang Yu Liang and tried to revive, he had used the immemorial ruin bat corpse to create a temporary base.
By the time Fang Yuan and the rest got there, Gu Immortal Han Dong from the Traveling Three Elites had already died here.
The Traveling Three Elites were Lu Qing Ming, Su Guang and Han Dong.
They were lone cultivators, rather famous ones.
When the three worked together, they could use an immortal killer move that gathered light, forming a chariot that could travel quickly.
In the Gu Immortal world, when some Gu Immortals develop close rtionships, they would help each other and cultivate together. As time passes, when they be more familiar, if they were talented, they wouldprehend and create new joint immortal killer moves.
The Traveling Three Elites were like this, the wind thunder roar of Chou Lao Wu and Hao Zhen was simr.
Among the three of them, Lu Qing Ming was a wind path Gu Immortal, his signature move was entangled wind, it was very powerful and maneuverable.
Su Guang was a light path Gu Immortal, while Han Dong cultivated transformation path!
He was a transformation path rank six Gu Immortal, this Han Dong blessednd was a rank six blessednd.
Fang Yuan floated in the sky, at this time, a pinkish red spirit snake slithered over towards Fang Yuan.
“Hiss hiss hiss!”
The spirit snake was translucent without scales, its flesh was pinkish, it did not have bones, just one red line held its body from head to tail together.
It hissed at Fang Yuan, showing animosity in its tone.
This was different from the other snakes.
Fang Yuan could understand it, as the hissing turned into words in his ears: “Who are you? Why did you invade my home? Quickly leave, you are not weed here!”
Fang Yuan smiled lightly: “I came here because I want to be your master, what are the conditions for that?”
“Hiss hiss hiss!”
The pinkish red spirit snake hissed unhappily.
Fang Yuan nodded, feeling overjoyed, he thought to himself: “So Han Dong’s obsession before death has to do with Lu Qing Ming and Su Guang.”
It turned out that Han Dong blessednd’s condition was very simple yet strict.
The spirit snake in front of Fang Yuan was the blessednd’snd spirit, created after Han Dong’s death, fusing his obsession with heavenly power.
Thisnd spirit would only acknowledge Lu Qing Ming or Su Guang.
When either of them arrived, this blessednd would belong to them.
From this point, the Traveling Three Elites truly had a close rtionship. Han Dong’s obsession before dying was to leave all of his assets to his two good friends.
“In that case, I will bring Lu Qing Ming here. We are good friends.” Fang Yuan spouted nonsense.
“Hiss hiss hiss!”
Spirit snake asked: “Is that true? You can find Lu Qing Ming? That is wonderful.”
“In fact, he is nearby. Because your main body died here, Lu Qing Ming and Su Guang have been thinking about it. But Tai Qiu is too dangerous, thus, they asked me for help, and we finally found you after so long.” Fang Yuan started his chain of lies, he neither was flustered nor did his heart beat faster.
The spirit snake slithered around, moving its body, it was very excited.
Next, it made an agreement with Fang Yuan, in just a few minutes, Lu Qing Ming would arrive.
“Thank you, truly, you are a good person!” The spirit snake’s attitude changed, it was very weing as it opened the entrance, sending Fang Yuan out.
“You must find Lu Qing Ming!” Seeing Fang Yuan off, the spirit snake closed the entrance longingly.
Fang Yuan flew in a circuit outside, storing away the upper extreme heavenly eagle and using familiar face to be Lu Qing Ming.
He came back and waited for a while, before the blessednd’s entrance opened.
“Lord Lu Qing Ming... sob sob sob.” The spirit snake was at the entrance, seeing ‘Lu Qing Ming’, it started to sob uncontrobly.
Fang Yuan consoled it as the spirit snake’s mood lifted.
The spirit snake asked: “Lord Lu Qing Ming, where is your friend from earlier? He is a nice person, he actually brought you here.”
“He is a kind and helpful person, he is very dependable. He has already left, he said that there is no point in staying here, he has already done his part.” Fang Yuan continued with his fairy tales.
The pitifulnd spirit could not see through familiar face, it thought he was speaking the truth, immediately acknowledging Lu Qing Ming as its master.
“Hiss hiss hiss!”
The spirit snake coiled around Fang Yuan’s shoulder: “From now on, you are the owner of this blessednd.”
Fang Yuan immediately changed his tone: “Wonderful, I’ve thought about it, I will give this blessednd to that friend of mine from earlier.”
“Hiss?!”
The spirit snake was stunned.
Fang Yuan smiled lightly: “Since I am the owner of this ce, I have the authority for that, right?”
“Hiss... hiss.”
The pinkish red spirit snake lowered its head, it was upset but it still responded, acknowledging Fang Yuan’s words.
Fang Yuan immediately left, in a moment, he got rid of familiar face and returned in his original appearance.
Very sessfully, the spirit snake acknowledged him as master.
“Hiss hiss hiss!”
The spirit snake said: “From today onwards, you are the owner of this blessednd. Sigh, even though I am sad, this is Lord Lu Qing Ming’s wish.”
Next, there were even more saddening wordsing out of Fang Yuan’s mouth: “Since you acknowledge me as your master, work with me, assimte this blessednd into my own blessednd.”
“Hiss? Hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss hiss!”
The spirit snake waspletely stunned, before bing frantic: “What? Why must we do that? If we do that, I will disappear!”
“Of course I know that. But by fusing into my blessednd, I can skip multiple cmities and tribtions, it is helpful to me.” Fang Yuan continued.
The pinkish red spirit snake thought of something and cried out: “To annex my blessednd, you need to be at least a transformation path master.”
“I primarily cultivate transformation path, I am a grandmaster!” Fang Yuan replied mockingly.
The spirit snake lost all its vigor, its head was lowered to the ground: “Fine, you are the owner of the blessednd, you can do whatever you want, I will cooperate.”
Immortal apertures could annex one another.
There were many restrictions and requirements in this.
Firstly, a smaller immortal aperture could not engulf a bigger one.
Secondly, dead apertures could not devour others.
Finally, annexing immortal apertures required specific attainment levels. To annex a rank six blessednd, one needed to have master attainment level in that path. For rank seven blessednds, one needed grandmaster attainment level. and for rank eight grotto-heavens, one needed great grandmaster attainment level!
Once these requirements were met, another person’s immortal aperture could be devoured and be part of one’s own immortal aperture!
There were many benefits in this.
Firstly, the resources inside the annexed immortal aperture would bepletely transferred into the other immortal aperture without any need for relocation.
Secondly, one would gain a portion of its dao marks.
Thirdly, and the most crucial point, the skipping of cmities and tribtions!
For example, Hu Immortal, an envement path lone cultivator from Central Continent, had died during her fifth earthly cmity, from the blue charm lightning shadow. Even though the blue charm lightning shadow remained, the fifth earthly cmity of Hu Immortal blessednd was passed.
If a Gu Immortal annexed this blessednd, they would gain all of the resources inside Hu Immortal blessednd, at the same time, they would receive a portion of the blessednd’s dao marks, and they would skip at least one cmity or tribtion, to a maximum of five. Furthermore, the countdown towards their next cmity or tribtion would be reset.
Southern Border, Jade Pot Mountain.
Ying Wu Xie’s group arrived at the interior of the mountain.
“To think that Jade Pot Mountain has jade soil on the surface, producing beautiful jade that is renowned in Southern Border, but the interior is actually an icynd, it is truly another world here.” Bai Ning Bing stood inside the icy cave, sighing in shock.
As they got deeper into Jade Pot Mountain, the temperature lowered, frost energy emanated, even though the Gu Immortals had defensive methods, they still felt a strong chill assaulting them.
Ying Wu Xie suddenly paused his steps, he seemed to have sensed something, he spoke while looking forward at the empty space: “We are here. This is a rank six immortal aperture left behind by a strength path Gu Immortal of Shadow Sect.”
Next, Ying Wu Xie turned around and said to Hei Lou Lan: “Hei Lou Lan, this is for you. You have enough strength path attainment level, you can annex this immortal aperture. This way, your uing cmities and tribtions will be bypassed.”
Hei Lou Lan’s expression changed.
She had the Great Strength True Martial Physique, one of the ten extremes, her cmities and tribtions were immensely powerful.
Annexing an immortal aperture could resolve her problem, but it sacrificed her potential for growth in the future, only to obtain some short term benefits.
She hesitated, but eventually gritted her teeth, walking forward.
Ying Wu Xie internally nodded at this, he understood Hei Lou Lan’s feelings, he spoke: “In a Gu Immortal’s cultivation journey, pursuing potential and long term growth is not wise. If you cannot survive the uing tribtion, then there is no future to speak of. Don’t worry, this blessednd contains strength path dao marks that are not fewer in number than your ten extreme physique tribtion. Shadow Sect’s cultivation methods are not something you can imagine. But how much you can actually absorb is up to your own fortune. Because the annexing of others’ immortal apertures will often result in a reduction of dao marks gained to some extent. It is far less than stuffing a Gu Immortal’s corpse into your immortal aperture directly and allowing it to break down naturally.”
Hei Lou Lan’s body shook, the anticipation in her gaze became heavier.
Ying Wu Xie could not help but think of Fang Yuan, he added in his mind: “Of course, the sovereign immortal body is exempt from this.”
