Carefree Path of Dreams
chapter-582

"Mountain Master is back!"

On top of the 9 Extremes Mountain, plenty of his disciples celebrated when they saw Fang Yuan unleash his power, repeatedly defeating the demon generals as well as driving away the demonic army.

"Forget it!"

Fang Yuan landed, and lightly waved his hands.

Green Wood Sky Net Array faded away, and Extreme Darkness, Liu Mengmei and the others appeared behind her.

"Greetings, Mountain Master!"

Seeing that the heart of the mountain had returned, the people of the 9 Extremes Mountain greeted him in happiness.

"Okay, the both of you have accomplished commendable protection for this situation. You were calm during the critical time, and had ways of dispatching the others…"

Fang Yuan looked at both Extreme Darkness and Liu Mengmei and nodded. Then, he called out a person wearing a black robe, "Ah Duo!"

"Master!"

This Demon Spirit kneeled down while trembling in fear.

Seeing how the demon generals, that were of a higher level, were easily defeated in the hands of his master, Ah Duo didn't dare to think of doing anything.

"You also did pretty well this time…"

Fang Yuan raised the seal's egg in his hands, "Aside from absorbing the emotions of spiritual beings, the Demon Spirits can also eat each other to increase their level right? I shall give this to you!"

"Thank you, Master!"

Ah Duo was elated at the results, "With this object, I'll have a high chance of being promoted to the state of a Demon General!"

"It's not a 'high chance', but an 'absolute'!"

Fang Yuan said coldly, "After becoming a Demon General, open up and pass me all your memory once! If you're unable to swallow, and got swallowed by the other party instead, do the same!"

If this type of situation really happened, it was no big deal. He could just change to another servant.

Since Ah Duo had Fang Yuan as support, and he was dealing with a demon general that had been sealed, he was able to slowly savor his food. Constant effort brings success; his chances of being successful was high.

"Yes!"

Ah Duo's body shook, but still went over to receive the seal.

"After breaking through, remember to clean up the surroundings of the 9 Extremes Mountain, and keep all the injured soldiers that the Demon Generals left behind!"

Fang Yuan couldn't be bothered to care about it, and commanded him.

In actual fact, the body system of the Demon Spirits were very interesting. When he had time in the future, he would want to perform research on it. However, he was anxious to meditate to comprehend the pathway of the art of creation, and wasn't bothered by other things.

"Make preparations, I want to meditate!"

Thinking of this, he instructed Liu Mengmei, who was at his side.

"Yes!"

As though she was familiar with Fang Yuan's character, Liu Mengmei answered gently, the corner of her mouth however, seemed like it concealed bitterness.

"Also… While I was outside, was there any news from the outside world? Especially from God Seeking Palace, Martial Alliance, Heavenly Spirit Association and the Alliance of Dream Masters?"

Fang Yuan pretended to be absentminded and asked.

"There wasn't… I'm afraid that the biggest news on Da Qian Realm right now is the 9 Extremes Mountain being besieged by the Demon Spirits!"

Extreme Darkness courteously bowed and added, "And… the Ye family sisters that came forward to seek refuge had been dealt with accordingly."

"Alright, that's good!"

As to why the news of The Ancient One's death wasn't made known, Fang Yuan could understand a little.

After all, the Realm Alliance was without a leader now. If they lost another key pillar of the group, it would definitely fall into chaos.

Hence, keeping his death a secret was also very important.

Of course, they might not think that The Ancient One had really died as, after all, it was a complete sleepwalk.

…

"Creation pathway…"

Within the quiet room, it was able to cut out any external noises once the thick stone door had been closed.

With a wave of his hands, the four magical swords appeared. Fang Yuan looked at them silently with a serious expression.

"Illusionary Divine is based on the creation from nothingness!"

"From my formation of the sword array, the second sword can actualise spiritual properties in objects. When the four swords activate the territory, the spiritual sword can transform into a person!"

"Now, I have to research clearly the reason why the magic sword is able to transform in the real dream world and then copy it to the real world…"

One by one, guesses and ideas surfaced in his mind.

Accompanying his profound deductions, the spirituality in the magic swords in front of him also increased in number, more and more.

"Life objects?

"The world's creation?

"These questions are becoming more and more interesting as I research…"

Fang Yuan casually lit up the fire sword causing it to roar. All of a sudden, the flame separated, the long flames transformed into bones and muscles to form a person.

"There's also the evolution of Demon Spirits that seem to have many hidden secrets. It's a pity… the only way to truly understand a world is to reopen Heaven and Earth. Otherwise, how can one know of all the large secrets?"

The evolution of Demon Spirits could, however, remind him of the evil demon's ilk from the previous world's abyss legend.

This was even to the extent that it was even more unusual than the evil demons.

Unfortunately, this was the real trump card and secret of the Demonic Heart Realm. He was still under-qualified to understand it clearly.

"Abyss, Evil Demons, Demon Spirits…"

Fang Yuan muttered. However, a hazy idea indistinctly surfaced within the sea of knowledge in his mind.

Kaboom!

At that moment, a fluctuation travelled from the outside world and it brought about wails and moans from thousands of people.

The strong and extreme negative emotions gathered, disturbing the dream elemental force, which resulted in the formation of a whirlpool of emotions.

"Oh?"

Fang Yuan's eyes shone as he walked out of the quiet room. He gazed up at the sky, which had become a funnel, and strained his eyes, "Whilst I was meditating… Ah Duo had finally swallowed that Demon General successfully, and advanced to have great abilities?"

The Demon General in the Demon Spirit could already keep up with the True Divine Martial Artists and True Elemental Spiritual Knights. Its methods were secretive, as if there were some overlapping.

"Mountain Master!"

Outside, Liu Mengmei and Extreme Darkness got the news in an instance and rushed over. Liu Mengmei had prepared a copper basin of clean water and a towel out of respect, as if she was a daughter-in-law and wanted to personally serve him.

"Thank you!"

Fang Yuan cleaned his hands, "how long did I meditate for?"

"One month has already passed since the day you returned!"

Liu Mengmei expression was complicated, and had a hint of resentfulness.

"For a months time, Ah Duo was able to overcome a Demon General. He isn't bad!"

This level of Demon Spirits advancement had nothing to do with natural endowments; it didn't even have ranks. As long as there was enough accumulation, it would happen naturally. This made Fang Yuan envious.

"Hoot! Hoot!"

At this moment, the dream elemental force fluctuated heavily, and like a long stream and river, it rushed into nothingness.

There, a pale face appeared. If it was seen closely, one would find out that the face was formed by pieces of pale, white face masks. Each of their forms were weird, but real.

"My Thousand Illusionary Face! It's the Master of Wielding Emotions!"

Finally, before the dream elemental force was exhausted, the pale, white human face froze, and produced an ear-splitting roar.

This roar brought a strong emotion. It caused people to have the impulse to unconsciously release all of their intense dark emotions and ideas.

"Master!"

However, in the next moment, the fake face that previously made a haughty roar fell onto the ground and became a black human form. It then bowed towards Fang Yuan.

"Thousand Illusionary Face? Is this your new ability?"

Fang Yuan looked at Ah Duo, who had a 180-degree change, and looked up and down at him with interest.

"Yes… I've advanced to become a Demon General. Only when I passed down the memory, did I know how to achieve this branch… I can absorb the soul of a person, and bear the weight of the power from the different emotions when using the mask…"

Ah Duo explained in-detail, "Monster Generals have many abilities. By choosing different pathways, the future development will also be very different… Aside from being able to control the power of emotions well, the advancement path of this Thousand Illusionary Face can also control numerous demon armies. Ah Duo think that this ability may be very useful to Master now!"

"Indeed, it isn't bad!"

Fang Yuan received the jade scroll from Ah Duo. It had the various memories of demon generals, and the numbers were as vast as the ocean.

"Very well, based on your current power, it should be as easy as flipping your palm over to subdue the different demon armies and bring back peace to the nearby prefectures with demonic disasters…"

He kept the jade scroll, and looked at Liu Mengmei and Extreme Darkness, "How is the news from the outside world recently?"

"All is well, especially since the matter about how Mountain Master was able to force the Demon General to retreat has already been passed down by everyone's lips. You're now indistinctly Da Qian World's best person!"

Liu Mengmei smiled.

"Oh?"

However, Fang Yuan laughed bitterly, "what skills and conduct do I have to dare be called the best?"

If he was at the state of a sage, then he might not be afraid of this. However, he was only at the state of a powerful being, it was too foolish to fight for the false title of being the best, or second best.

"Mountain Master knows that fame follows merit!"

Extreme Darkness tightly compressed her lips, but suddenly returned to being solemn, "there's one more thing! The Alliance of Dream Masters is going to be rebuilt. Baize Mountain and Evil Divine Sect came to look for us in hopes of roping in the 9 Extremes Mountain but I used the excuse that Mountain Master was still meditating and rejected them."

"Baize Mountain, Evil Divine Sect?"

Fang Yuan shook his head and asked, "What about the Realm Alliance?"

After mentioning this matter, which was heavily linked to her previous physical body, Extreme Darkness' facial expression became complicated in an instant, "Realm Alliance is the same as before—peaceful. It even withdrew, and it was rumored that the Ancient Alliance Master went into meditation, and some elders are doing the management currently!"

"Okay, looks like the Realm Alliance is quite strict in hiding the news?"

After listening, Fang Yuan nodded in his heart.

Of course, he didn't think that it could stay hidden forever—nor did he think that the others wouldn't doubt him.

After all, based on power, the time it happened, motive and whatnot, he was still the first party that would be suspected.

It was hard to say, the besieging by the Demon General army this time might even be a probe that was arranged by the other party.

…

At the same time, thousands of miles away.

The ex-sage Baize had secretly gathered with the Evil Divine.

"The Ancient One has died!"

Ex-sage Baize was solemn, and said this once he opened his mouth.

"I also received similar secret reports, it must be true then…" Evil Divine was gloomy about this, "Ancient friend was always the most experienced and astute among us few. He always hid his location, but no one expected him to get killed! Who might the culprit be?"

"There are only a few possibilities!"

Baize said worriedly, "I'm worried that the party killed The Ancient One in order to damage the Alliance's formation!"

"The Demon Spirits disaster had just been settled, and now we have these. There are too many disasters…"

Evil Divine shook his head, "However, the 9 Extremes Mountain that we've prepared to rope in is a force that suddenly appeared among the Dream Masters. Fang Yuan is only a junior, however, he exploded suddenly, defeating three demon generals in one go. His strength cannot be underestimated."

"Yes, he's the biggest variable for our Alliance of Dream Masters!"

Sage Baize felt the same way, "To add on… I suspect that he has something to do with our ancient friend's passing!"
