Chapter 370: Peace

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Inside the messy stone array, 9 Extremes Mountain.

A boxy looking altar was already built above the entrance of the crypt.

Nearby it, the rites of numerous arrays surrounded the altar with numerous runes swirling around. There was a fierce and mighty aura to it.

Inside the altar, Xing Yunzi sat right in the centre. He was expressionless and spoke, "The altar has been built, now we just need to guard it for nine days and the mission will be completed. After that, we just have to leave a few men to check on it occasionally!"

Fang Yuan and Zhou Tian looked at each other and nodded.

There was no need for Fang Yuan and Zhou Tian to give excuses or fight to stay. From the looks in Peng Xuan's eyes, he was determined to be the one staying behind.

"Anyway, within these nine days, we might be ambushed by Da Qian's dream masters! We can't let our guard down..." Xing Yunzi gravely reminded. He then assigned Fang Yuan and the rest to take turns to keep watch while the others rest.

"No, wait... this 9 Extremes Mountain is the 5 Grand Organisation's land. Where are the people of Divine Lotus Cult and Evil Divine Sect?"

As Fang Yuan walked out the altar, a thought flashed in his mind, "Looks like... either there's more than one node in 9 Extremes Mountain or they are hiding in the dark, preparing to ambush the Imperial Court?"

The Realm Alliance suffered great losses due to the Hidden Dragon Guards previously, they would definitely want to seek vengeance.

Ne one knew if this was a bait.

Fang Yuan had never been afraid to judge those in the higher authorities with the worst intentions.

"Sirs, we have already finished building some houses nearby! Come on in and rest!"

Pink Deity was outside the altar and the moment he saw Fang Yuan and the rest, her eyes lit up. She went forward immediately to invite them to the houses and at the same time, gazed at Fang Yuan numerous times unintentionally.

"Haha... great!"

Zhou Tian laughed and gave Fang Yuan a look before walking away. Dream masters were powerful and there were no problems for them to be more easygoing in their private lives. Furthermore, Fang Yuan was young and virile, cough cough...

"Great!"

Beside the altar, a row of small houses was built with bricks. Fang Yuan entered his house and sat crossed legged as he looked at Pink Deity who followed in, "I understand your thoughts and I know you want me to protect you, but as someone who's painfully cultivating, I'm not interested in romance nor sensual pleasures. As long as you listen to me in 9 Extremes Mountain, I will protect you to a certain extent!"

"Yes, Sir!"

Pink Deity's cheeks turned slightly red as she replied, "I will pay diligently investigate and look for information to report to you daily!"

"She's smart at least!" Fang Yuan thought.

In actual facts, lust was not forbidden to Fang Yuan. It was just because he had indulged enough in Mainland and was already tired of carnal pleasures.

Now, it was not because he was not attracted to Pink Deity, but because after all, she was still a dream master. It was not good to be too involved with another dream master, especially during such times where war was imminent. Why would Fang Yuan have the spare thoughts to be involved with her?

"Very well, I will not treat my own people shabbily!"

Fang Yuan smiled and poured open his Mountain River Pearl. A few bags of Yellow Grain Rice came out from it and Fang Yuan then continued, "I'm not used to eating rough grains, you can cook and send these over to me for my daily meals and keep the rest!"

"Yellow Grain Rice?"

Pink Deity heaved a cold breath of air and almost fainted.

Although the Mountain River Pearl and Yellow Grain Rice were rare, it still matched Fang Yuan's position and status. Thus, Pink Deity would not have any negative thoughts about it.

Just that when she saw how rich Fang Yuan was, her intentions to seek refuge with him grew even more.

Fang Yuan was a young man with wealth and powerful cultivation, Pink Deity would be a fool to not keep close to him... Just that it was a pity that he was not very interested in her beauty.

Hence, Pink Deity was slightly vexed at such.

…...

7 days later.

It was totally calm near the altar, there were not even many beast attacks. This made the dream masters felt relieved.

Inside the meditation room, Fang Yuan sat crossed leg and analysed the earth meridian map left behind by Sage Changli in his sea of consciousness.

"There are over a thousand nodes in Da Qian and the 5 Grand Organisations have already made arrangements at many of them. It might be possible that Da Qian did not care about this node..."

After many days of peace, it made Fang Yuan felt that way.

"Just that... I don't think the Realm Alliance is simply disrupting this earth meridian..."

Fang Yuan's face turned serious as he saw one of Sage Changli's manuscript.

"Dream masters are very powerful and can actualise many things. This is all possible due to the world where the natural source of dreams is from. Even a powerful being dream master at the Prominent Divine stage cannot set himself free from this... Hence, centuries of dream masters have been continuously chasing after this dream source world. However, none of them has ever succeeded before and thus, there are Sages who conclude that there is an "invisible net" in Da Qian world. This is because the fate and breaths of the earth in Da Qian were too strong and hindered the dream masters' search... In actual facts, this was only one reason and not the main reason!"

Sage Changli's manuscripts were all written in an ancient text that was more similar to talismans. After Fang Yuan spent lots of contributions points to buy a book from the Realm Alliance which could analyse the texts, he finally understood it in his own words.

"According to Sage Changli's deductions, Da Qian world's interference was only one small reason. Most importantly, that source world was simply too far away, it might not even be in the same dimension! Even Prominent Divine powerful beings can only passively receive its radiation and would not be able to find its source as their powers were not strong enough!"

"Hence, discovering the source of dream masters and breaking free from the "invisible net" were merely the most basic reasons. The most important thing was to obtain powers from the natural source which could break through everything!"

Fang Yuan's expression turned cold as he then thought of the arrangements the Realm Alliance made at the earth meridian.

Previously, he would have thought it was to simply destroy the earth meridian in order to destroy Da Qian. But now, with the numerous Sages' calculations, it was truly unpredictable.

"An energy sufficient to break through dimension?"

Fang Yuan pondered, "I guess taking other realms' natural source is not even enough, but... if it's Da Qian itself's natural source, it might be enough..."

Da Qian world was the strongest world Fang Yuan had ever seen, the energy of its natural source was dense and incomparable and even Ancient Realm was lacklustre compared to it.

Looks like the five powerful Sages amongst dream masters would definitely not miss this treasure, especially since they would want to progress further.

"Chaos is really bound to descend... in this world..."

As Fang Yuan was no longer confused, he immediately felt the deep and cold meaning behind all these.

Dream masters were high above others, they conquered and plundered numerous worlds and realms. In their eyes, even Da Qian was merely just a temporary stop for them.

In order to progress further and also seek for the natural source, they would not be hesitant in sacrificing an entire world!

Those crazies from Source Seeking Sect would definitely do that!

Even the Sage from Baize Mountain might not even oppose it.

In the eyes of the heavens, all lives were equal. In the eyes of the Sages, all commoners were equal.

Since they were all equal and since other worlds and realms could be sacrificed, then why not Da Qian?

"Unknowingly, I am now on the opposing side..."

Fang Yuan gave a wry smile and his eyes glistened, "Even so, the real methods are in the core of the inheritance... If I can fully master Sage Changli's secret inheritance, I might even be able to surpass all!"

...

"Sir?"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. It was Pink Deity.

"Come in!"

Fang Yuan expression turned gentle as saw the lady carrying a meal box with an expression meant to please.

"Sir, enjoy your meal!"

As she looked at Fang Yuan using the spoon and drinking it, she began to report on the situation, "Early in the morning today, the small group who went out to patrol was attacked by an Elemental Piercing Snake. One dream master and three strong men died..."

"Qing Yuan and a few other master masters secretly sneaked out to explore the movements of the nearby restrictions and I heard they found something. Although it was just a few of them, they were still part of the team, but even though Xing Yunzi seemed to notice it, he did not say anything..."

"Ok, I get it!"

As Fang Yuan calmly acknowledged, another cold thought appeared in his mind.

Such behaviour of doing personal work while on official duty was technically counted as neglecting one's duty, but since Xing Yunzi was surprisingly not disapproving of it, it explained why they did it.

"This mission is not only an obvious conquest, it is also a bait to lure the Hidden Dragon Guards and Imperial Court to react? In order to let the other four organisations ambush and destroy them?" Fang Yuan thought.

The real plans were unknown. In the entire team, only Xing Yunzi would know the real rationale and plan.

"Although I don't even have many expectations left, such behaviours are still... disappointing!" Fang Yuan thought to himself.

Seeing such, Pink Deity felt coldness in her heart as even though she was exposed to many things, amongst the dream masters at the 4th Tier of Illusionary Divine, only Fang Yuan felt the most mysterious and unpredictable to her.

....

"Haha... Brother Fang Yuan!"

At that moment, Zhou Tian's voice could be heard from outside. He then teased, "Am I interrupting?"

"No, come on in, Brother!"

Fang Yuan moved his hands and an invisible force opened the door. Zhou Tian walked in and took a quick glance at Pink Deity before he gave a facial expression all men could understand.

"I will take my leave!"

Pink Deity's cheeks turned pink as she bowed and left.

"Haha, did I interrupt you and your lady?" Zhou Tian asked teasingly.

"What, don't you know there's nothing between me and her?"

Fang Yuan rolled his eyes and continued, "So what have you discovered that brings you here?"

Indeed, other than those lower tiered dream masters, Zhou Tian was one of those who sneaked out too.

"I shall tell you everything!"

Zhou Tian sat crossed legged as his expression turned solemn, "Two strong men and I were searching the surrounding areas these few days and we found the remnant of a restriction! I need your help!"

Zhou Tian was roping Fang Yuan in to share the rewards.

Whereas for Peng Xuan?

Ever since Xing Yunzi allowed him, this King of Corpses had been inside the crypt for days, unseen by others outside.

"Sure!" Fang Yuan thought for a while and agreed.

He then looked at Zhou Tian and contemplated, "In this current mission, other than Xing Yunzi and a few others, the rest were all those not as reliable ones like us or the weak ones. The motive of making use of others to get rid of adversaries was not too obvious... Feng Xinzi, Elder Smelter!"

Although Fang Yuan knew this situation was most likely brought about due to Feng Xinzi's jealousy, if the Elders did not approve, it would not be like that now.

Fang Yuan's gaze deepened as he fiercely made up his mind.
