Evil Dragon Star.

In the public rental housing.

Fang Xing finished playing the game, took off the holographic glasses, and felt quite speechless, "I merely hinted at the traitor within the Prevention and Control Bureau... Why did so many others spring out in the end?"

In the game, with disciples like Sonny, he had a general understanding of the events transpiring on Blue Star.

Overall, it seemed that ’Heart 3’ had been duped by many...

Fang Xing pondered and felt there were a few possibilities.

Either that traitor from the Prevention and Control Bureau had been recently bought over by other forces,

or there were a bunch of spies around ’Heart 3’!

"No wonder it’s the Federation, truly pervasive... Fortunately, no matter how many factions took action in the end, my mission is considered complete."

As long as the Creation Tablet and the sect where ’Heart 3’ resided were exposed, there would no longer be any need to debate over the existence of the creator.

There might still be disputes, but at least there would be compelling evidence proving that the creator does exist.

Beyond the Twelfth Realm, there are even more terrifying realms!

Although this might not necessarily be good news for the Blue Star Federation, being prepared is definitely better than being unprepared.

’If luck is on my side... perhaps ’Heart 3’s behind-the-scenes conspiracy can also be exposed...’

’That way, I won’t have to worry about it myself.’

Fang Xing sighed, his figure instantly vanishing without a trace.

To the Blue Star Federation, his cultivation avatar was essentially ’a person who did not exist.’

Of course, finding him would be incredibly difficult.

Moreover, he was only out to do the dirty work this once, then he would continue back to the Immortal Cultivation World.

Several days later.

In the Immortal Cultivation World, on Baihua Mountain.

Inside the Fourth Rank Cave Mansion, spiritual energy lingered.

Dressed in a cyan robe, Fang Xing came to the Alchemy Room.

He checked the temperature of the Pill Furnace and the burning Earth Vein Spirit Fire below, nodding slightly, "This batch of Five Clouds Pills has been nourished quite perfectly, should yield five genuine pills..."

Though the Earth Vein fire here was merely Third Rank, and not as domineering as the Soul-devouring Demon Fire, it was naturally more beneficial to have such a gentle-natured and everlasting Spiritual Fire for alchemy.

The Soul-devouring Demon Fire was sharp in combat, but not really suitable for alchemy.

Now considered a high-grade Third Rank Alchemist, Fang Xing had authority in this area.

"The Spirit Vein here is not bad; it can support my cultivation all the way to the Golden Core Late Stage, even to Nascent Soul Formation!"

And after forming the Nascent Soul?

Of course, it would be time to pack up and leave, as Fang Xing never considered himself the true Family Head of the Mu Family.

He walked out of the Alchemy Room and went to the nearby beast pen.

He saw a large earthy-yellow rat lying on the ground, sound asleep, hugging a thousand-year-old Lingzhi mushroom that it had nibbled on.

This Third Rank treasure-seeking rat had achieved great merits in Linglang Blessed Land, and Fang Xing did not mistreat it.

He not only bestowed upon it millennium Spiritual Medicine but also tossed some leftover ’Ganoderma Pills’ to it.

Pills that Jiedan Cultivators could use to enhance mana were naturally very effective for Third Rank Demon Beasts as well.

This treasure-seeking rat now possessed Third Rank mid-grade demonic power.

Fang Xing planned to rely on it when he needed more Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for his Nascent Soul, so it was important not to discard it.

Whether it could ascend to the Fourth Rank relied on its destiny.

"Mouse-type Spiritual Beasts may have a shorter lifespan, but they grow very quickly..."

Fang Xing now had extensive experience on how to take elixirs for cultivation.

Most of the mana-increasing pills suitable for Human Clan cultivators could generally be used by Demon Beasts of the same rank.

Because of their strong physiques, they even had a high Poison Resistance.

However, pills suitable for Demon Beasts might not necessarily be fit for Human Clan cultivators – because their physiques couldn’t withstand them.

"The Fertile Wilderness might not have many materials suitable for Nascent Soul True Monarchs to enhance mana; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so many years without a single late-stage Nascent Soul Great True Monarch!"

"There seem to be plenty of Fourth Rank Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in the Wilderness... many Fourth Rank transforming Great Demons..."

"One day when I form my Nascent Soul, there’s no need to rush to the Hanhai Immortal Cultivation World... If I’m in time, the initial wars to reclaim the land might be worth a try..."

Fang Xing was quite confident in his own strength.

Using the False Infant and two Spiritual Treasures, he could barely contend with an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Once he formed his Nascent Soul, it would be like having the mana of two early-stage Nascent Souls, plus he was known as the Nascent Soul Sword Lord renowned for his lethality.

Probably only Chu Kuangtu, in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, would be a match for him; typical early-stage Nascent Souls wouldn’t be worthy opponents.

Even Chu Kuangtu might not be able to handle being besieged by him and his main body.

’If it weren’t for the slumbering Fifth Rank Demon Beasts deep in the Great Wilderness... actually, charging into the Wilderness with the Great Sun Tathagata Divine Palm and going on a rampage... would be the best course of action.’

Fang Xing felt regretful.

Alas, Fifth Rank Demon Beasts were almost equivalent to the Martial God, not something Fang Xing of today could provoke.

Moreover... his ’Great Sun Tathagata Divine Palm’ consumed Great Sun Divinity and was not inexhaustible.

Only two power banks were purified under his domination: the Creation Tablet and the rest.

— Of course, the fragments of the Creation Tablet he had thrown out earlier had already been drained of their divinity, leaving behind nothing but waste.

Nevertheless, the vast information recorded on them still held immense value, suitable for the Federation’s scientists to study.

...

After inspecting the Cave Mansion, Fang Xing headed to its entrance.

Sure enough, Sound Transmission Talismans were buzzing around like headless flies, blocked by the Array.

He casually picked up one and found it to be from a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Mu Wanlong faction, filled with empty pleasantries and respectful greetings.

Besides that, there were several from Mu Wanzhang, discussing the management of the family affairs.

"Indeed... Qiankun Dao has shown favoritism, and with no other choice, Mu Wanzhang had to choose to close off the mountain!"

To close off the mountain!

This was not to be taken lightly.

Once a Cultivation force sealed its Mountain Gate, even messengers from Qiankun Dao would be kept out.

In plain terms, it meant cutting off all contact with the outside world!

And with no contact, it was impossible to maintain outside interests and protect everything the Mu Family had left outside.

There’s no such thing as having the best of both worlds!

Of course, according to the unspoken rules of the Righteous Path, once the Mu Family chose to close off the mountain and disconnect from the outside world,

Qiankun Dao would no longer have the right to conscript or command them.

After all, the Mu Family had forsaken everything, retaining only a piece of their ancestral land, and even the Family Head, along with several Jiedan and Fake Core Cultivators, perished on the frontier!

"Although the battle for the frontier hasn’t even started, at least they died on the road... and yet, there’s not even the slightest consolation gold..."

Fang Xing sighed.

If he were the Daoist of Qiankun Dao, he would at least grant a Golden Core Formation Pill as a token of sympathy.

However, Qiankun Dao had an excuse for acting this way.

After all, Mu Wanlu and his followers were suspected to have been attacked by Demon Cultivators and robbers... definitely not killed by Demon Beasts!

This did not count as dying in battle; it was not a work-related injury!

’The Supreme Elder of White Crane Sect might have had similar thoughts when he chose to act before they reached the front lines, right?’

’Once Mu Wanlu and others had joined the frontier army, they would be considered part of the army of Cultivators under Qiankun Dao’s banner. Attacking them would be tantamount to provoking Qiankun Dao.’

’Such tacit cooperation, both being complicit.’

’As for not providing consolation... losing people’s hearts?’

’In the Cultivation World, where great power resides within oneself, people’s hearts are not worth much...’

’As long as Qiankun Dao is willing to bestow opportunities for Core Formation... this frontier war will still attract a multitude of Cultivators flocking like ducks!’

’And... given the Mu Family’s prior status as the premier Core Formation family, their relationship with Qiankun Dao was certainly not the best... this is retaliation.’

As an outsider with firsthand information, Fang Xing could see through the situation of these families like watching a fire burn from across a river.

"Now, Qiankun Dao openly cannot take action against the Mu Family again..."

"But White Crane Sect hates the Mu Family to death, and yet they find it difficult to attack the Myriad Flower Illusion Array... after all, I am still alive!"

With a Core Formation True Person presiding over the Array that was linked to the Spirit Vein, and quasi Fourth Rank at that, it was like a turtle’s shell.

Unless they could collaborate from within and without, even a Nascent Soul True Monarch would find it troublesome to take action.

White Crane Sect alone was not up to the task, their only option would be to seek out several Core Formation Late Stage Cultivators, form a Cultivator army, and wear down the Myriad Flower Illusion Array with the power of a Battle Formation, along with the aid of Third Rank Prohibition-breaking Talismans and High Rank Breaking Vein Pearls...

However, doing so would inevitably be time-consuming and massively conspicuous.

Even a fool could see it wasn’t the work of Demon Cultivators or robbers, but a great battle within the Cultivation World!

Especially during the preparation period for the frontier war, Qiankun Dao would be red-faced from embarrassment!

Therefore, it was impossible.

"The only strategy left is internal collusion... but such a plot can only be used once, and the Mu Wanlan faction has been purged. With the Mu Family closing off their mountain, cut off from within and without, it’s out of the question."

"The only hope... is to endure! To last until I, the only Core Formation True Person of the Mu Family, perish... A Fake Core True Person presiding over a quasi Fourth Rank Array would eventually run out of strength, making it easy to find flaws and invade..."

As long as ’Mu Wanlong,’ the Core Formation True Person who had once displayed Golden Core Late Stage mana, did not die, the Supreme Elder of White Crane Sect wouldn’t dare attack the Mu Family.

Otherwise, according to the thinking of Cultivators, Mu Wanlong would certainly drag that Supreme Elder of White Crane Sect down with him!

Fang Xing chuckled as he stroked his chin, "Unwittingly, I have become the core of the battle between White Crane Sect and the Mu Family? The entire safety of the Mu Family depends on me, an outsider? Ridiculous! Well then... let’s consider it the rent for utilizing the Fourth Rank Cave Mansion..."

He felt a bit sorry for White Crane Sect.

The entire Sect believed that the old ancestor of the Mu Family had used a Forbidden Technique to force an increase in Cultivation, which would mean his lifespan was nearing its end.

But in reality, he had at least four hundred and fifty years to live!

Once Nascent Formation was achieved, it was close to a thousand years!

Even if the Supreme Elder of White Crane Sect passed away, he would not!

"Then let’s slowly endure... I quite like that."

Fang Xing smiled faintly, a flash of light in his hand materialized a Sound Transmission Talisman, which he threw out to that Fake Core True Person, Mu Wanzhang.

The latter was temporarily assuming the role of Family Head, after all, among the short, he was the tallest, and there were only Foundation Establishment Cultivators left.

Fang Xing sent him a Sound Transmission Talisman, the content wasn’t important.

What mattered was to let him know he hadn’t yet passed away and was in good condition, able to live a few more years!

Under the current situation, as long as Mu Wanlong had not passed away, that would be the stabilizing needle for the Mu Family!
