Carefree Path of Dreams

Chapter 494: Mountain Leader

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

”This spiritual farm is quite good!”

Fang Yuan patrolled around the spiritual farm and gazed at the rows of Yellow Grain Rice being planted together with other spiritual plants. He could not help it but smile.

Considering the resources the Divine Lotus Cult had, it was still possible to create a spiritual farm on what was once a piece of barren land.

There was already an abundance of resources in the 9 Extremes Mountain. Coupled with the fact that the environment of the mountain was unique, the land was a pure piece of land.

Fang Yuan was no longer afraid of revealing his skill in Botany.

After all, he was already one of the most powerful beings in Da Qian. Who would be daring enough to plot against him and make use of his Botany skills?

”There is not enough foundation to start anything!”

Fang Yuan arrived at the peak of the mountain and took out a seed.

”After travelling to so many different places, this is the opportunity to finally use you.”

The seed in his hands was the seed which he had brought from the Mainland. It had once undergone a mutation and was now a suspected Heavenly Grade seed.

Although Fang Yuan had once pinned high hopes on it, he was fortunate enough to continuously achieve breakthroughs in his cultivation all the way to where he was now and there was no chance for him to make use of this seed.

Only recently did he browse through the recordings of the Divine Lotus Cult to obtain background information of this seed.

”This is the legendary species of Jianmu, used to sort out earthly energy. I can use it to create a foundation for the 9 Extremes Mountain and it should suffice!”

Fang Yuan placed his hands behind his back and gazed at Liu Mengmei, Extreme Darkness and the few others behind. ”How’re the preparations for the array going on?”

”We have prepared it according to your plan and the dream masters have perfected it through every single node!”

Liu Mengmei smiled as she reported the progress of the preparations of the array.

”Great.”

Fang Yuan glanced down at the crater which was dug. According to the plan, this would be the core of the entire array. With a flick of his fingers, the seed flew into the ground.

”Quickly! Water it with the Ten Thousand Refined Mysterious Water!”

As soon as the seed burrowed itself into the ground, the entire mountainous range shook.

Extreme Darkness passed down her orders.

A spiritual knight took out a gourd and poured a spring water into the crater.

This spring water was milky in colour and gave off a clear fragrance of nature. It also had a dense spiritual aura coming from it. The water was rumoured to have been created from refining corpses and bones and every drop of it was priceless.

”Bloop! Bloop!”

The seed in the crater greedily slurped up all the spring water before revealing a green mysterious glow.

”9 Days Swelling Earth, down!”

Liu Mengmei personally took a bag of soil and started to cover the huge crater with it.

”Rumble!”

The soil was pitch black and as it covered the crater, the surface of it appeared extremely smooth.

”Whoosh!”

A slit opened up on the surface of the soil. As everyone watched on, a small tree sapling started to grow out and continued to grow at a crazy pace.

”Rumble!”

The ground shook as though the nodes were being pierced and connected by the roots of the plant.

Within moments, a huge tree appeared. It had a beautiful crown of leaves which bent down slightly, giving off the vibes of peace and tranquillity.

It only took a few moments for the small tree sapling to turn into a 700 feet tree. The shade of the tree was huge enough to even cover half of the entire palace.

”Whoosh! Whoosh!”

At this point in time, a green glow scattered in the vicinity, forming a layer of light which resembled a screen. The screen covered the entire mountain gate and the tree started to release fresh spiritual aura and unknowingly, everyone started to take in deep breaths.

”It’s done!”

Witnessing this, Fang Yuan nodded his head in satisfaction. ”This Green Wood Sky Net Array which I have designed should be as powerful as the protective arrays of other sects.”

”Furthermore, with its protection, the breath of the earth and elemental force would be sorted out in this region. This mountain will, therefore, become some sort of prosperous or spiritual land!”

The elemental energy in Da Qian was too disrupted and contaminated with dream elemental force. Together with the negative emotions of hatred and fear, the spiritual knights or Wu Zongs would be negatively affected if they were to use these energies for their cultivation. The chances of them getting out of control while training would increase exponentially.

However, in the 9 Extremes Mountain, with the huge array sorting and purifying the energy within it, everything would be different.

Fang Yuan would not just stop here!

”A true Jianmu will not only continue growing but will also continue to spread its roots underground!”

Fang Yuan smiled as he could feel the faint tremors beneath his feet.

The 9 Extremes Mountain was among the 10 most dangerous places in Da Qian due to the existence of the many restrictions within it. This place was therefore plagued with many problems, resulting in many unnatural mutations and changes.

Now, Fang Yuan was leveraging on the power of Jianmu to reset everything here, beginning from underground!

In other words, wherever the roots of Jianmu were to stretch towards would be the boundaries of the array. As the roots stretched out underground, the restrictions would be broken through!

”Jianmu will always grow continuously. As soon as its roots completely replace the soil beneath the 9 Extremes Mountain, this entire secret place will be reformed and it will truly be our base!”

Fang Yuan seemed to be thinking about the future. ”By then, the power of the Green Wood Sky Net Array should be comparable to that of the protective arrays which the dream masters of the allied forces once had.”

There was only one requirement of these protective arrays. They had to be able to defend against a powerful being! Even if a sage were to attack this place, the protective array will need to be able to withstand a single hit first!

If not for the fact that everyone in the Divine Lotus Cult was worrying about who to manipulate their own protective array and the betrayal of Elder Green Lotus, they would not have been at the risk of destruction.

”Gather all the deacons and disciples!”

After casting the array, Fang Yuan arrived at the square before the main hall and passed down his order. ”I want to see everyone is half an hour’s time!”

Considering his status, Fang Yuan’s order was promptly passed down.

Within moments, over a thousand people started to gather in the square.

Fang Yuan still had the foundations of a dream master and could detect hints of fear, uneasiness and hope among his people.

This was already different from before.

’This is the right time. Casting the array would mean that our foundations are firm and the hearts of the people will no longer waver.’

Fang Yuan scanned around before beginning his announcement. ”I hereby announce that the 9 Extremes Mountain Sect will be formed today! I will be the Mountain Leader. Extreme Darkness and Liu Mengmei will be the protectors. Meng Tian, Meng Guang and the few others will be the 5 Extreme Deacons. The remaining of you will be the First Generation of Disciples!”

Any organisation would have a hierarchy! This was no different from the ranking of Leaf Cultivator in the Realm Alliance.

”Greetings, Mountain Leader!”

In an instant, thousands of followers performed a greeting.

Although many of them were once the elites of the allied forces, they had since lost their cultivation, which was a heavy blow to their self-esteem. Now, they had to be accepting of everything if they wanted to survive.

Furthermore, would they be able to walk out of the 9 Extremes Mountain alive if they did not want to comply?

Even if they were to make it out of the mountains, wouldn’t they be soon captured by the huge army of demons?

Therefore, these 1,000 of them had to accept their new fate which was planned out for them by Fang Yuan and there was no resistance among them.

’Even though they only appear compliant on the surface, it is already a good thing that they are able to come to a decision in such a short period of time!’

Fang Yuan nodded his head.

It was impossible to create such a hierarchy in such a short period of time.

As long as they were to accept this fact, their daily lives in the sect would soon make them used to this. They would be able to work hard to increase their status within the sect and finally become powerful enough for Fang Yuan to make use of them. This was the benefits of having a hierarchy system.

”The Leader of 9 Extremes Mountain?! This title is not bad at all.”

Fang Yuan waved his hands and ordered for a banquet. However, he only appeared for a short while before disappearing to his isolation room to train.

Fang Yuan had created this organisation so as to have a group of people at his disposal in the future. Of course, he knew that the basis of his power and influence still laid in his martial arts!

Without his powerful martial arts, he would not even be able to survive in the chaotic streets of Da Qian, not to mention accomplishing other things.

”I shall leave the outside affairs to Liu Mengmei and Extreme Darkness!”

Fang Yuan crossed his legs and gazed at the wooden hairpin in his hands with a perplexed look on his face.

He did not expect to find the secrets of the Demonic Heart Realm on Shang Hou’s body. Instead, it was a pleasant surprise for him to find the Spiritual Will Steel Seal technique.

”Shang Hou is indeed a genius. It’s a pity that such a secret technique is not suitable for me.”

Fang Yuan shook his head.

Closing his eyes, he could feel the pure elemental force in the surroundings.

”The 9 Extreme Mountain naturally keeps dream elemental force out and restricts supernatural powers in its vicinity. This is a good thing... At least everything in here will be least affected by what is happening in the outside world. Together with the Green Wood Sky Net Array’s purification abilities, we will become a paradise among a world plagued with problems.”

Fang Yuan heaved a sigh and started to think about the future of Da Qian.

”I’m afraid the chaos outside will continue. Dream masters are now in hiding and a few volunteer armies are already destroyed by the waves of demons. There is also the demon disaster...”

Even Fang Yuan was not confident that a powerful being would be able to set things right.

After all, the most powerful of beings in Da Qian now were the True Divines and True Elementals. Although Fang Yuan was already more powerful than the average powerful being, he still had a limit.

If he were to anger the masses outside, he could still be overwhelmed by their numbers.

”Furthermore... This world is already under the scrutiny of the Demonic Heart Realm. Even the will of Da Qian was harmed and is already in hiding. Why should I steal all the attention?”

Dream elemental force which flooded Da Qian from the Demonic Heart Realm had its pros and cons.

Most importantly, everything was settling down and Da Qian was getting used to it.

According to Fang Yuan’s prediction, the will of Da Qian had already suffered a huge loss of its natural source in the battle between the realms. Together with the plague of demons, the realm had to hibernate and for once give up on the happenings in the realm temporarily.

This was a ’painful process’ which healing realms had to go through.

”What about the dream masters? They must be devastated! All their possible paths are sealed... They even lost the ability to dream-traverse as a method to leave this realm.”

Even though dream masters had once taken over realms after realms, all of these had stemmed from the dream dao.

Now that the dream dao was gone, all the dream masters had to painstakingly discover new ways to harness their dream elemental force. They might even find dream-accessing too arduous too attempt, so how would they even think about dream-traversing to other worlds?

This was a strong blow to the dream masters.

”This is a cultured catastrophe!”

Fang Yuan mumbled to himself as he feared the future.

Dream masters were indeed powerful, but even so, before the beings of the Demonic Heart Realm, the dream masters would not even be able to put up a meaningful resistance.

”This is interesting. Isn’t this what I am after?”

After a long silence, Fang Yuan revealed a smile and flames of passion started to burn in his eyes.
