Carefree Path of Dreams

Chapter 365: Fiery Golden Eyes

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

A few months later, at the Golden Sun Prosperous Land.

Fang Yuan laid in a pool of hundred types of poison and both his hands were resting on the sides of the pool as though he was soaking in a hot spring tub. He had a look of enjoyment on his face.

"I'm afraid that I might just achieve the 10th Refining Stage today!"

He opened his eyes and seemed excited.

Fang Yuan had wholeheartedly accepted the fact that he would have to undergo a test.

He could not avoid the chaos in Da Qian. Even if he were to hide in an isolated place, he would still have to enter the Dream Realm and interact with the other dream masters, right?

Anywhere with the existence of people would have civilisation!

It would be the same for every organisation. Most of the players in the game of chess had made their way from being pawns. The only difference which set them apart was that the players had spent more time in the organisation than the pawns.

Taking this time as an example, Fang Yuan could only accept what was given to him since it was the rules of the alliance.

In his actualised dream world, a dragon pearl floated up and down and emitted a mysterious glow from it. Pieces of information started to flow out from it, which was subsequently classified according to the type of information.

"I am only a middle-ranked dream master and yet, I have access to all these information..."

Fang Yuan started to read a recording which detailed the tips for a dream master to take note when dream-traversing. The information provided on this recording was much more detailed than that provided in the Dream Realm.

Even 6th to 7th Leaf Cultivators might not be able to obtain these pieces of information.

Now, all of these were his to enjoy.

"Sage Changli seems to be an expert in dream-traversing... I have never heard of all his methods. He must be incredibly talented... I wonder what secrets are there in the heart of all of this information?"

Fang Yuan retrieved a recording which detailed a technique in it. This technique was about retaining the True Spirits of dream masters in other realms to deny them of any chance of escaping. This piqued his interest as he continued to read in detail.

Unknowingly, a few hours had passed and the pool of poisonous water had slowly cleared up. He climbed out of the pool, shook off the water droplets from his body and channelled a force throughout his entire body, clearing any residue from it.

Water started to evaporate from his body as steam, revealing a clear-looking skin beneath. On the skin, there was a layer of metallic-gold hue.

"I have finally completed the 10th Refining Stage of the Hundred Poison Golden Body!"

Fang Yuan let out a heavy breath and clenched his fists, cracking his knuckles in the process.

"I can now use my physical body to fight against Meridian Opening Wu Zongs! Only such a body is strong enough to accept the blood essence of a witch!"

Since he was unable to dream-traverse and reap rewards from other realms, the only way he could increase his cultivation in such a short period would be to absorb the blood essence of the witch.

Although this was a good treasure, Fang Yuan still needed a good foundation before he could accept it. If he was a normal Wu Zong or even a Meridian Opening Wu Zong, he might destroy his own physical body if he were to absorb this blood essence.

Fang Yuan had done multiple experiments and finally determined that the minimum strength he had to have before he could absorb the blood essence was that of the 10th Refining Body!

The physical body was the source of one's essence, which was completely different from the strength of a Wu Zong.

However, it didn't matter. Fang Yuan already had a technique to strengthen his own physical body.

With a single thought, the blood-red crystal in his actualised dream world exploded, turning into streaks of energy which entered his body.

"Mmmm..."

Fang Yuan gritted his teeth as his face turned ferocious.

Beneath his skin, his green veins started to pop out and wriggle about like small snakes. His muscles started to grow and his physical body started to expand, turning him into a small giant.

"The blood essence of a witch is indeed powerful... This is too strong!"

He mumbled to himself as he felt as though his body was on the verge of breaking down. However, his strong spiritual will remained steadfast and unaffected by external factors, keeping him composed.

"Buzz! Buzz!"

A layer of metallic-gold started to cover him. He did not explode into a bloodied mess purely because he had the foundation of a 10th Refining Body.

However, that was not enough.

As the blood of the witch entered his body, Fang Yuan felt as though there were countless untamed dragons surging about in his arteries.

The huge force in his blood felt like magma, destroying anything in its path.

Even with the protection of his Golden Body, there were countless bruises forming beneath his pores.

"What's this... my original blood is being forced out? The blood essence of the witch is indeed demanding. Is it trying to change my entire body? What a pity... the only thing I want from you is your power!"

Fang Yuan quickly summoned the sword essences of wind, thunder, water and fire around him. With the 4 elements, he formed a miniature realm around him, which started to strengthen his physical body.

In his dantian, Fang Yuan's martial arts elemental force started to surge as it tried to take control of the force of the witch's blood.

Although the barbaric force of the witch's blood was like an uncontrolled dragon, Fang Yuan's martial arts elemental force flowed continuously. Gaining an upper hand with an immense volume, it started to gain control over the blood essence of the witch with every passing day.

300 days!

600 days!

1,000 days!

...

Time had passed. Suddenly, Fang Yuan's body shook and his elemental force surged. After all this while, he had finally absorbed more than half of the blood essence.

Like scalding hot water, the burning sensation started to spread to his limbs. It was a numb and itchy feeling which alternated with a cold and hot feeling.

"This time... It is not my blood that is changing. Instead, it is my blood trying to control the witch's blood which caused all these problems!"

Fang Yuan knew that his physical body belonged to Da Qian and he was not prepared to visit the Ancient Realm regularly. Therefore, he did not want to change his blood entirely.

Furthermore, the world in which he lived in might not accept the blood essence from a powerful being from an alternate realm. He might be restricted in certain ways if he were to change his blood.

Therefore, the best way for him to make use of the witch's blood was to use it to strengthen his own.

"I have long destroyed Xing's spirit. Now, I just have to merely tame the blood, for Xing's imprints still linger in it. Let's do this!"

Fang Yuan's spiritual will shook.

"Rumble!"

His actualised dream world started to shake and information regarding witchcraft started to overflow.

In his dantian, the last bits of resistance from the witch's blood started to die down and his inflated body started to shrink.

"Whoosh!"

As his eyebrows twitched, with the wave of his hands, a dim red scab fell from his body as though a snake was shedding its skin.

"I can use this opportunity to expel the poison in me..."

Fang Yuan frowned as he quickly ripped apart the blood leeches on his body. Looking at his bronze skin, he remained speechless.

After completely absorbing the witch's blood essence, there were huge changes to his body.

He clenched his right fist and immediately, there was a shattering sound as though the air in his fist was contracted.

"Is this... my physical strength? It seems like this is not all..."

He could clearly feel warmth in his eyes, which he could activate at will. "A magical ability? I get to use this ability which was once exclusive to only those with the martial arts divine body?"

As he waved his hands, a mirror made out of water appeared, reflecting his godlike appearance.

Fang Yuan examined himself. The young man in the mirror was handsome and energetic. He had beautiful eyes and as his eyes moved, they turned into a golden colour, like tiny flames in the eyes.

"Is this the ability of a spiritual eye?"

He gazed outwards and realised that he could now see through the walls of the hall and even through arrays. He could see the natural elemental energy in the surroundings.

"I seem more suited to develop abilities that make use of my eyes!"

After all of these, Fang Yuan seemed more matured and gentle. He smiled to himself. "Is this the complete version of the Fiery Eyes, the Fiery Golden Eyes?"

With this, he called for this stats window and observed a huge change:

"Name: Fang Yuan

Essence: 96

Spirit: 48

Magic: 60

Profession: Dream Soldier Master

Cultivation: Illusionary Divine (4th Tier), Wu Zong (5th Meridian)

Technique: [Giant Eagle Metal Body Technique (Grade 6) (1%)], [Hundred Poison Golden Body (10th Refining)], [8 Gates Sword Array (5th Sword) (1%)]

Skill: [Medicine (Level 3)], [Botany (Level 5)], [Fiery Golden Eyes (Level 1)]"

"Fiery Golden Eyes: The ability of a witch, formed from Level 5 of Fiery Eyes. It allows one to observe the future and perform predictions, and can nullify most spells! Currently at Level 1!"

"This is indeed the power of a witch's blood essence to be able to double my physical strength!"

Seeing that his Essence was about to reach 100, Fang Yuan took in a cold breath. "I think that I am not far from forming the martial arts divine body! With such a foundation, I am now scarily strong!"

Other than obtaining the skill of Fiery Golden Eyes, there was nothing much. However, the foundation that it had laid out for Fang Yuan's physical body was unimaginable!

"I would be stronger than any martial artist who is not a True Divine!"

Fang Yuan slowly experienced his strengthened body and was feeling extremely satisfied. "Of course, it's still most important to continue my cultivation! Now that my Essence is greatly improved, I can attempt to open my meridians. No matter how much brute force I use to achieve the next breakthrough, my physical body will be able to handle the stress, and my martial arts can be improved by leaps and bounds!"

The foundation of a martial artist would be their physical body.

Now that Fang Yuan's physical body was strengthened, his previous path towards forming the Divine Body was now replaced with a more straightforward and foolproof path. The only thing that would limit his progress now was time.

"Breathe in... breathe out..."

Thinking about this, he quickly walked out of his hall and started to breathe.

"Whooo! Whooo!"

Suddenly, in the middle of Golden Sun Prosperous Land, there was a tornado. Spiritual energy from the surroundings was slowly being sucked in.

The tornado started to become more intense as time passed!

Huge amounts of elemental energy from the surroundings were being absorbed as well, and even the 99 Golden Suns Gigantic Array started to shake.

"What magical technique... is Lord cultivating this time..."

At the farms, Meng Tian and Meng Guang raised their heads to such a terrifying scene. Even though they were Wu Zongs, their legs started to turn jelly. The servants around them could not hold on any longer and went down on their knees.

Fang Yuan could not care so much about them.

Seeing that the foundation for his physical body was improved and that the experience bar for his Giant Eagle Metal Body Technique was slowly filling up, he felt excited.

50% - 75% - 100%!

In a moment, the 6th spiritual meridian was formed.

Furthermore, Fang Yuan's body did not stop there as it continued to scale further.
