Chapter 142: Second Earthly Calamity
Northern Plains, Lang Ya blessed land.
Fang Yuan was sitting cross-legged in Luo Po valley to cultivate his soul.
After cultivating his soul these days Fang Yuan had once again reached hundred million man soul.
Days passed by.
While Fang Yuan anticipated the opening of treasure yellow heaven, the second earthly calamity gradually got closer.
Lang Ya Sect's plan towards Tai Qiu had never stopped.
From time to time, hairy man Gu Immortals received sect missions and used the transportation formation to head to Tai Qiu.
Lang Ya blessed land, Cloud Cover Continent.
In the first cloud city, Lang Ya land spirit was attending to Fang Yuan.
"Here, Fang Yuan, have some tea. This is the famous fire rainbow tea!" Lang Ya land spirit said with a warm expression.
Fang Yuan held the cup as he looked at the tea, he did not drink it.
Lang Ya land spirit saw that Fang Yuan was not drinking it, he coughed and urged: "Elder Fang Yuan, quickly drink it! You might not know, but this is the best way to drink this fire rainbow tea."
Fang Yuan waved his hand: "I have heard about fire rainbow tea long ago, but when I held this cup of tea, I suddenly thought of many things and was lost in my thoughts."
Lang Ya land spirit: "Then what was Elder Fang Yuan thinking of? Is there an issue with Lang Ya Sect developing in Tai Qiu?"
"No, not this." Fang Yuan smiled, he freely picked out something in his mind and used it as an excuse.
Lang Ya land spirit showed a look of disappointment, he replied: "You are the owner of Spring Autumn Cicada, you came from the future and are very knowledgeable, you have experienced many things, and know a lot about tea. But do you know? Be it tea or wine, they have both been spread far and wide due to food path."
"Oh? Is that so?" Fang Yuan feigned interest.
Lang Ya land spirit revealed: "The creation of any type of tea or wine is actually an incomplete Gu recipe."
"If it is completed, a unique tea Gu or wine Gu would be refined. There are already many types of wine Gu or tea Gu, like the famous liquor worm and big smoke tea Gu."
"It is a pity that food path is facing extinction before it even became widespread."
"Right now, when many Gu Immortals want to test their refinement path attainment, they do not need to join the Central Continent Refinement Path Convention, they can compete by making a cup of tea each, tasting and determining who is superior."
Lang Ya land spirit and Fang Yuan spoke for a while, he saw that Fang Yuan could not stop talking about tea, he got anxious and said openly: "Fang Yuan, I will speak frankly. I invited you for tea because I have a mission for you!"
"Here it comes." Fang Yuan thought, he looked at the land spirit: "Please speak."
As expected, Lang Ya land spirit said at the next moment: "You know about my plan to develop in Tai Qiu. You suggested it yourself, after all. There is also the transportation Gu formation, you placed it yourself."
"Because of your actions, recently, our Gu Immortals could enter Tai Qiu smoothly and modify the environment to expand our base. But now, we have a problem."
Fang Yuan nodded: "First supreme elder is talking about the falling star hound?"
"That's right. This damned ancient desolate beast injured several Gu Immortals of our sect. I have already placed a mission to exterminate it, but everyone who took the mission returned in failure. I know that the only person who can beat this falling star hound is you, Fang Yuan. But why did you not take that mission?" Lang Ya land spirit asked directly.
Fang Yuan smiled bitterly: "I am very busy recently."
Lang Ya land spirit nodded: "You are very busy indeed."
Lang Ya land spirit said: "You cultivate really hard, but completing the mission also helps you in your cultivation. Don't forget about dog shit luck Immortal Gu. To feed it, you need to find six types of desolate hounds and use their faeces to feed this luck path Gu worm."
"In the past, when my previous self fed Dog Shit Luck, he made use of treasure yellow heaven, purchasing from there. But now, treasure yellow heaven is closed, even after it reopens, I would suggest you rear some desolate hounds in your immortal aperture. You also know the benefit of doing this."
"Lord's words are truly enlightening!" Fang Yuan immediately nodded.
Lang Ya land spirit sat up, muttering: "Elder Fang Yuan, if you can take this mission and complete it, regardless of whether you capture or kill the falling star hound, you will receive eight hundred sect contribution points!"
Fang Yuan calmly answered: "I'll have to say no."
Fang Yuan flew in the sky.
Before leaving, he looked back at the cloud city behind him.
In cloud city, Lang Ya land spirit sat gritting his teeth.
He held in his anger, he was holding the cup, but before he drank the tea, he smashed it towards the ground.
"Fang Yuan, this fellow!" Lang Ya land spirit clenched his fists, grinding his teeth, feeling very unhappy.
"Fang Yuan, oh Fang Yuan, you might be really busy, cultivating so intensely and having your own plans. But this matter affects the development of Lang Ya Sect, you are a member of the sect. At the crucial moment, how can you not sacrifice yourself and defend the interest of the sect? You are an outsider after all! You are not a hairy man Gu Immortal!"
His arms were behind his back, he lowered his head and pondered, he felt troubled and frustrated, his frown was growing deeper: "Fang Yuan is unwilling to do it, what can I do about the falling star hound?"
Thinking about it hard, there were no good solutions.
"Sigh! Do I really need to do what Fang Yuan suggested? I might as well use this falling star hound as a grindstone and develop the fighting abilities of these hairy man Gu Immortals?" Lang Ya land spirit sighed.
Fang Yuan flew in the air, his clothing fluttered in the wind.
Returning to his cloud city, he was informed that a hairy man envoy had visited him.
Fang Yuan met with this hairy man envoy.
"Lord, this is something my city lord had ordered me to bring to you." The hairy man Gu Master said respectfully.
Saying this, he held up a wooden box with both hands.
Fang Yuan received it but did not open the box, he took a look at this hairy man envoy.
"From today onwards, you will stay here, I will guide you in the cultivation of enslavement path." Fang Yuan said slowly.
"Thank you, lord immortal, for your guidance!" The hairy man Gu Master quickly knelt on the floor, his body was trembling.
"You can go now." Fang Yuan had no interest in this rank five peak stage Gu Master.
After sending him away, Fang Yuan went to his room and cultivated.
He opened the wooden box, there was an Immortal Gu inside, it was the rank six beast enslavement Immortal Gu!
Fang Yuan had borrowed this Immortal Gu from Twelfth Hair in exchange for training that hairy man envoy in enslavement path.
Several days later.
The seal on Spring Autumn Cicada had worn out during this time.
Fang Yuan used a huge number of self will Gu and removed all of Heaven's will inside of Spring Autumn Cicada.
Next Fang Yuan moved Dang Hun mountain inside his sovereign immortal aperture.
Such a commotion caused Lang Ya land spirit to show up.
He asked nervously: "Elder Fang Yuan, what are you doing?"
Fang Yuan had a glib tongue, he gave an excuse of his that was prepared long ago, saying he was going to leave Lang Ya blessed land for some time.
Lang Ya land spirit believed what he said, he wanted Fang Yuan to exterminate the falling star hound, but instead, he was going to leave with Dang Hun Mountain.
Lang Ya land spirit was very worried.
Fang Yuan used this chance to exchange all of his sect contribution points, he even used wisdom Gu as collateral to borrow a lot of Immortal Gu from Lang Ya land spirit, and large amounts of immortal essence stones.
With half a day until the earthly calamity descended, Fang Yuan used the transportation Gu formation to go to the northern icy plain.
The icy plain was huge, Fang Yuan casually chose a direction and picked a spot to place his immortal aperture.
Huff huff huff…
A huge amount of heaven and earth qi entered the sovereign immortal aperture through the entrance.
Heaven and earth qi rushed in fiercely, Fang Yuan also activated the Gu worms outside of his immortal aperture at the same time.
While undergoing tribulation, Fang Yuan naturally used immortal tribulation tempering aperture.
A moment later, Fang Yuan completed his arrangements and began to use his immortal essence, activating his Gu worms.
Tens of thousands of green grape immortal essence beads were used, allowing Fang Yuan to activate the killer move immortal tribulation tempering aperture.
The second earthly calamity descended.
At first, there was only a mild wind, but soon, the intensity of the wind rose greatly!
In the blink of an eye, a huge wind blew, it had the force to sweep the world and blow away all life.
Fang Yuan said indifferently: so the wind flower tribulation has arrived.
After some hours Fang Yuan successfully passed his second earthly calamity.
Fang Yuan quickly used his methods to leave Northern Plains.
After he left, a while later, two figures emerged from below the ice.
"It's here." One of the figures inspected the place, saying this after it confirmed the surroundings.
The other figure sniffed around with its nose, confirming as well: "We did not sense wrongly, someone was undergoing tribulation here earlier, there is still some heaven and earth qi remaining, it has not completely dissipated yet."
"Sigh! The northern icy plain was created by Reckless Savage Demon Venerable in the past singlehandedly. This is an icy plain without any land. The heaven and earth qi here is less abundant than in other places. If many Gu Immortals undergo tribulation here, more heaven and earth qi would be consumed.
At some point, the glaciers will shatter, the entire place would become unstable." One of the two mysterious Gu Immortals sighed as they spoke with much worry.
"The northern icy plain is the final paradise left for us snowmen. We live under the icy plain and do not conflict with the rest of the world. To think that the humans are not satisfied, they even want to take away this final sanctuary of ours!" The other mysterious figure was younger and said with much anger.
The young snowman Gu Immortal continued: "First supreme elder is too behind the times! In my opinion, we should have gotten rid of that Chu Du. Look, not only is Chu Du coming to undergo tribulations, others are coming too. Soon, more and more Gu Immortals will come and destroy our sanctuary."
The older snowman Gu Immortal sighed: "Sigh! I understand why first supreme elder agreed. They are worried that a battle with Chu Du would expose our location to the world. Right now, humans are the overlords of the world, their status is firm as a mountain, unshakable. If we are exposed, all the Gu Immortals in Northern Plains would come after us."
"Do we let this continue? Let more and more Gu Immortals undergo tribulations on top of us? With our strength, if we fight in this icy plain, as long as we plan well, it is not hard to kill some human Gu Immortals. Of course, I admit that Chu Du is very strong. We can play it safe and avoid him, but other Gu Immortals are not hard to kill. If they all die, who will know we are the culprits?
Heh! Humans are a chaotic bunch internally, the righteous path and demonic path have never stopped their conflicts." The young Gu Immortal said.
"Sigh, you make sense too. Let's report this matter to the tribe and see what the other supreme elders have to say."
The two snowman Gu Immortals discussed as their vague figures vanished.
Days passed, but there were no signs of treasure yellow heaven opening.
Lang Ya Sect's development was halted. Lang Ya land spirit had asked Fang Yuan many times to settle the matter of the falling star hound. But Fang Yuan did not agree, their relationship was getting worse.
Lang Ya land spirit reduced the rewards of Fang Yuan teaching the hairy man Gu Immortals combat skills to the lowest, he was making almost no gains.
Under Sixth Hair's instigation, the other hairy man Gu Immortals were also turning cold to Fang Yuan, they even started hating him.
Even though the second earthly calamity was over, Fang Yuan's situation was getting worse.
