Fang Yuan sat atop Dang Hun Mountain in his true appearance. Without using Familiar Face, activating the immortal killer move Familiar Face would consume immortal essence and mental energy.
Now that time had been slowed in both of his immortal apertures, the production of immortal essence had become much slower, and he had to rely on immortal essence stones to make up for this shortage.
However, at the moment, when no one was around, Fang Yuan could stop maintaining the immortal killer move and return to his original appearance, saving immortal essence and mental energy for cultivation or managing his immortal aperture.
Fang Yuan held a large piece of flesh that had been cut from the ancient desolate plant, Meat Tree. The Meat Tree was an ancient desolate plant of Strength Path, and its entire body was filled with Strength Path dao marks.
Immortal Killer Move—Eat Dao!
Fang Yuan's mouth expanded to an impossible degree, becoming as large as his entire body. He then bit down on the entire piece of flesh before swallowing it. After the process was completed, more than twenty Strength Path dao marks had been added into his Strength Path immortal aperture.
Feeling the slight increase in his dao marks, Fang Yuan did not stop there.
He took out other Strength Path immortal materials, such as Divine Strength Water, Multicolored Courage, the tendons of the Desolate Beast Fighting Ape, and various other immortal materials in different quantities.
Fang Yuan activated the immortal killer move Eat Dao once again. His mouth expanded to the size of his body, and the Strength Path immortal materials disappeared one after another.
After around five minutes, Fang Yuan finally stopped using the immortal killer move Eat Dao.
"One hundred and sixty-two Strength Path dao marks, not bad at all… It is almost like going through half an earthly calamity, yet I did not endure any risks, and the costs are considerably lower."
On average, earthly calamities granted around 250 dao marks, while heavenly tribulations granted 750 dao marks. These averages referred to ordinary Gu Immortals. As for the Ten Extreme Physiques, they would gain slightly more than this amount, or even twice as much.
And all of this depended on the foundation of the blessed land.
If the blessed land had an area smaller than 7,000 square kilometers, the difference between them and Gu Immortals with high-grade blessed lands would not be very significant. However, if it exceeded that size, then the dao marks obtained would naturally be twice the average.
There were also other factors that contributed to increasing the dao marks obtained from earthly calamities, such as the amount of resources within the blessed land, the diversity of its income sources, the number of Immortal Gu, the number of mortal Gu, and many other things.
But by using the Strength Path immortal killer move Eat Dao, Fang Yuan could almost endlessly obtain dao marks, provided that he had an endless supply of immortal materials.
"I should also try deducing another immortal killer move that imitates Food Path, but in essence belongs to Time Path." Fang Yuan thought with anticipation.
"In my current situation, it is impossible for me to pass through calamities and tribulations without attracting disasters from Heaven's Will. If I want to increase my strength significantly, the best method is to raise my dao marks while creating a set of immortal killer moves that complement each other… This is the most effective way to raise my battle strength in a short period of time."
This was not the only reason.
Fang Yuan needed to accumulate more Strength Path and Time Path dao marks in order to overcome the suppression caused by conflicting dao marks from different paths.
After finishing his dao mark cultivation, Fang Yuan moved to the Soul Path formation. He refined and calmed his soul before using more Guts Gu to increase his soul foundation.
After the feeling of swelling appeared, Fang Yuan stopped using Guts Gu. Instead, he connected to Yellow Treasure Heaven to purchase ore veins, Effort Stones, Mountain Essence Gems, Multicolored Courage, and other materials.
All of these were Strength Path immortal materials, and Fang Yuan had spent such a large amount that his financial reserves had reached a dangerous state.
However, Fang Yuan needed to develop his Strength Path blessed land and create new resource points to feed his core Immortal Gu, such as All-Out Effort Immortal Gu, Bitter Strength Immortal Gu, Group Strength Immortal Gu, Qi Strength Immortal Gu, Myriad Self Immortal Gu, and many other Immortal Gu.
Fang Yuan spent several days inside Hu Immortal Blessed Land cultivating his soul, managing both of his immortal apertures, and continuing to deduce a Time Path immortal killer move similar to Eat Dao.
During these days, he also sold the first batch of Guts Gu to Immortal Crane Sect, obtaining a profit of forty-five immortal essence stones.
Fang Yuan's days were peaceful and comfortable. However, a storm began brewing in Northern Plains following Dong Fang Chang Fan's death and the collapse of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
Fairy Li Shan was busy overseeing the alliances that formed every moment and earning a fortune, while Hei Lou Lan was preparing for her immortal ascension.
At this time, Fang Yuan went to Eastern Sea several times and met with Tai Bai Yun Sheng, who had made a name for himself in Eastern Sea and had begun trading using Landscape as Before Immortal Gu.
He also ventured deep into the Turbulent Flow Sea Area and returned with a stream of Gold Fragment Current.
The Gold Fragment Current was a unique substance of the Immemorial Yellow Heaven. It was filled with metallic currents, such as Diamond Fragment Current and Metal Fragment Current. However, after the collapse of Immemorial Yellow Heaven, it was split into fragment worlds, and the metallic fragment currents gradually disappeared.
Fortunately, Fang Yuan knew the location of a Gold Fragment Current from his previous life and had brought it back. It was extremely suitable for his Strength Path blessed land.
