Carefree Path of Dreams

Fang Yuan was inside an ancient forest full of cold air.

After communicating with Gold Ingot through voice transmission, he looked around before sighing.

“Why are you sighing? I’m the one who should be sighing over our misfortune!”

Wu Qi crossed his arms and sat on an emerald rock with two Primordial Core disciples by his side, forming this complete squad of ‘decoys’.

I wonder what the Holy Mountain is thinking, arranging for me to be in a squad with Wu Qi. Do they want us to give us the opportunity to kill each other? Fang Yuan was somewhat exasperated.

“Boy, try to live a little longer!” Wu Qi’s voice transmission entered his ears. “Even if you die, you should contribute sufficient value to the race!”

Even though this old man has a vendetta against Mo He, he still prioritizes the race! Fang Yuan nodded silently.

Furthermore, he knew that if they could escape, they would also be seeds of the barbarian’s revival because they also carried some barbarian resources on them.

Even though they were incomparable to the core seeds, providing cultivation resources for a few more people was not a problem.

This was reality. Even though they were decoys, they could spread their seeds if they survived.

The selection for the decoy teams involved the young and talented. If they managed to escape by chance, they might be able to achieve great things after bitterly cultivating.

As for those like Mo He, their future was bleak. All that remained for them was to fight for their lives on the Holy Mountain.

…

“Haha! Barbarian animals, you’re here!”

While Fang Yuan’s group of four were resting, a Nascent Soul spiritual will suddenly swept down, carrying joy.

“What? They’ve found us?” Wu Qi’s expression changed as he summoned a small boat. “Get on!”

Even though the boat was small, it was large enough to accommodate four people. Its flight path left no traces behind, and the speed was faster than the Nascent Soul cultivator’s flying sword.

“Strange, why was our position exposed?” On the flying boat, Wu Qi rubbed his bald head in confusion.

“Seems like there are spies among our Apotheosis higher-ups!” Finally, he sighed somewhat helplessly.

In fact, there’s another possibility. The barbarian executives intentionally leaked our position to the cultivators so that we would draw their attention and help the real seeds escape! Fang Yuan’s expression turned cold. He knew Wu Qi likely also thought of this.

However, thinking of it and saying it were two entirely different matters.

“You won’t be able to escape!”

Dozens of sword lights appeared, blocking their escape path, instantly forcing the small barbarian team into a desperate situation with nowhere to go!

“There are actually three Nascent Soul cultivators!”

Wu Qi put away the flying boat, summoned a monstrous bird materialization, and sped up. “Everyone, run for your lives!”

Fang Yuan got off and retreated into the forest without a word. In this desperate situation, Wu Qi had truly done his best.

“Not a single one of you can escape!”

The two groups instantly made a decision. Two Nascent Soul cultivators went after Wu Qi while the other Nascent Soul cultivator and Golden Core cultivators chased after Fang Yuan and the other two.

“Not right… these Golden Core cultivators are completely different from the ones in the three-sect alliance on the Death Plains!”

Looking at these Golden Core cultivators’ black robes and their cruel auras, Fang Yuan instantly understood. “Demon Dao cultivators? The outside world’s demon cultivators?”

The demon cultivators here were naturally not otherworldly demons, but native demon cultivators.

After all, the heavens had Yin and Yang, good and evil. Since there was Qi of Heaven and Earth vitality, there was naturally Demonic Qi of Heaven and Earth.

Even in the face of a trap, he remained expressionless. Suddenly, he unleashed a slash.

“Saber Realm! Nine Star Pearl Mystic Technique! Third Star!”

Kiang!

The two Golden Core cultivators before him only saw saber light bloom in the air before it cut them into pieces.

Fang Yuan retracted his technique, and two storage bags landed in his palm. Then he continued to escape without turning back.

“Good lad!” This sudden outburst shocked the Nascent Soul cultivator. “They used a peerless like this as a decoy?”

Someone able to kill a Golden Core cultivator while at Foundation Establishment was definitely a monster-level talent!

“Not good… He really knows about the decoy teams!”

Fang Yuan sharply increased his speed, but the Nascent Soul cultivator chased after him relentlessly.

“Boy, I can’t believe the barbarians are willing to send you to your death like this. Did they not know of your potential at all?”

The Nascent Soul cultivator continued his chase while transmitting his voice to Fang Yuan. “What a pity… With your innate talent and comprehension, our Revenant Soul Sect’s Immortal elder would have been overjoyed to take you in as a disciple. Your actions now are nothing more than a meaningless struggle. In other words, decoys like you are nothing more than a joke. To be honest, our sect’s Immortals have personally made their move. Not only will they annihilate your entire army, but the core seeds you’re trying to protect won’t escape either!”

In fact, he had some doubts if this small team was the true objective.

However, judging from how that Apotheosis realm elder had not hesitated to abandon this Materialization realm genius and flee by himself, that did not seem to be the case.

Finally, the distance between the two drew close. Fang Yuan managed to make out this Nascent Soul cultivator’s appearance. He was thin with yellow skin and green eyes!

“Killing a genius like this and extracting his soul is a waste…”

The old man revealed a ferocious smile as he flipped his sleeve!

A large amount of black fog emerged and surged toward Fang Yuan violently.

“Want to capture me alive?” Fang Yuan’s lips curled into a mysterious smile. “Old man… did you think that was my full strength?”

“Not good!” This Nascent Soul cultivator was someone battle-hardened. Currently, his Nascent Soul instincts were ringing, so he immediately crushed a jade talisman.

Rumble!

A jet-black defensive shield enveloped him instantly.

The next moment, a saber light sharper than before burst before the black shield!

“Fifth star! Activate!”

“Septuple Space-Penetrating Blade! Kill!”

Fang Yuan looked ruthless and full of killing intent.

In fact, with his current cultivation at peak Materialization, activating the fifth star of the Nine Star Pearl Mystic Technique was enough for him to fight with an Apotheosis realm powerhouse head-on.

However, he chose to show weakness and got the Revenant Soul Sect’s Nascent Soul cultivator to approach closer.

But even if it were a direct confrontation, with the opponent’s Nascent Soul cultivation base and various techniques, he still would not be a match for Fang Yuan’s fifth star.

However, the fact that he was able to put up a defense instantly this close was impressive.

“Seems like a… defensive dao talisman? It’s quite sturdy!”

Seeing the jet-black shield, Fang Yuan’s smile grew wider.

Pfft!

The dazzling saber light bloomed like a lotus, but as it came into contact with the black shield, it suddenly disappeared.

Within the shield, a horrifying scream resounded!

Fang Yuan had cultivated the Illusion Realm’s nomological laws to the point where he could disregard some defenses easily.

Unless it’s a magic treasure containing the Illusion Realm’s nomological laws, there’s no way it can defend against my space-penetrating blade!

Fang Yuan was very confident about this.

As expected, the black shield split open and revealed the remnants of human flesh.

A small Nascent Soul holding an aquamarine magical sword emerged and seemed about to escape.

Poof!

Seven streaks of Saber Qi instantly appeared midair, sealing the space all around. Even with a Nascent Soul’s mystical power, he would not be able to escape.

With the Saber Qi approaching, the Nascent Soul’s face was full of resentment and unwillingness. “Master will avenge me!”

All of a sudden, a dragon-like voice came from the sky. “Stop!!!”

“Immortal Patriarch? How could he come so quickly?”

Fang Yuan’s expression was indifferent, and his Saber Qi continued to shred the Nascent Soul into pieces.

“How dare you!”

Black Qi flashed in the sky as a black-robed, middle-aged man appeared with a pale young man in his hand. When Fang Yuan saw this, his pupils shrank.

Since he had plans for the Torch Dragon materialization, he had naturally paid attention to Bamboo’s appearance and characteristics.

The captive in the Revenant Soul Sect Immortal’s hands was a barbarian genius and one of the core seeds—Bamboo!

“So, an Immortal made his move. No wonder he was caught!”

Fang Yuan used an Earth Escape Spirit Talisman, directly turning into a stream of light and burrowing into the ground.

“After killing someone from the Revenant Soul Sect, you want to leave?!”

The Immortal in the sky was clearly furious and reached out to grab.

Rumble!

A large, black vortex appeared, carrying immense power. Within the forest, countless small creatures, anything with life, had their eyes turn blank, their souls flying away and scattering.

“No aura?” After a moment, the black-robed Immortal landed, feeling slightly doubtful. “There’s no corpse! Even with his Earth Escape Spirit Talisman, he couldn’t have escaped the range of my spiritual will. There’s only one last possibility. Did he conceal himself within a mysterious realm or an immortal abode? This kid is hiding many secrets!”

He could not help but recall the other party’s stunning move that killed the Nascent Soul instantly and had to admit that even he felt slightly threatened.

Not only did he have such a saber technique, but he even possibly had an immortal abode. He was only at the Materialization realm but was already this outstanding. What about in the future?

“Looks like our spies didn’t discover the core secrets. These barbarians actually managed to fool us. If I hadn’t happened to pass by, they would have succeeded!”

The black-robed man glanced at Bamboo. “In order to protect this team, they put in their greatest efforts and treated a peerless totem of this level as cannon fodder? No… perhaps they’re both real?”

How fast could an Immortal think?

With a few breaths, the Revenant Soul Sect’s black-robed Immortal made a decision. “You guard the area. Don’t let a single one go!”

He sat down cross-legged and shut his eyes. He spread his strong spiritual will, instantly covering the surrounding tens of kilometers. He left no stone unturned, scanning the area inch by inch. “Even if you have an immortal abode, you won’t be able to hide!”

As for the final battle on the Barbarian Ancestral Court’s Holy Mountain? It meant nothing compared to these gains.
