Chapter 1012 Fang Yu Again

 

Fang Yu and Su Changgé returned together to the mansion located in the central district of North Capital.

“Lord Fang, you crushed the Xuanyuan Spirit Stone… did you gain something from it?” Su Changgé asked curiously.

Fang Yu glanced at Su Changgé and said, “Indeed, I did gain something.”

“That’s good… otherwise this trip would have been a huge loss for us,” Su Changgé said.

“How would it be a loss?” Fang Yu frowned.

“Although Master Sanling attacked first… that place is still Xuanyuan Gate after all,” Su Changgé said, thinking of the miserable state of Xuanyuan Gate. “They won’t be magnanimous enough to let this matter go… in short, after today, Xuanyuan Gate will surely become our mortal enemy.”

“Do you think they still have the courage to come after me?” Fang Yu asked.

Su Changgé looked at Fang Yu, recalling Master Sanling’s palm strike…

Fang Yu hadn’t even moved… yet caused such terrifying destruction.

“Indeed… after witnessing Lord Fang’s power, if they still dare to come looking for trouble, they would truly have the courage of bears and leopards,” Su Changgé said, his eyes flashing with shock.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go in now,” Fang Yu turned around and walked toward the gate.

He was now eager to examine himself internally and carefully study the so-called Great Dao Spirit Body given to him by the man surnamed Ji.

“Of course, Lord Fang, I’ll take my leave now,” Su Changgé said with clasped hands.

Fang Yu remembered something, turned around, looked at Su Changgé, and said, “By the way, I should thank you. You’ve helped me a lot recently.”

Su Changgé’s expression changed slightly, and he immediately bowed, saying, “As Lord Fang’s chief assistant, serving you is my honor and my duty!”

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes at Su Changgé and asked, “I can give you a reward. What do you want?”

“Lord Fang… I don’t serve you to gain any benefits…” Su Changgé raised his head and said.

Fang Yu looked at Su Changgé with a half-smile and asked, “Really?”

Su Changgé met Fang Yu’s gaze, his eyes flickering.

“You can go back and think about it carefully. As long as it’s something I have, I’ll try my best to fulfill it,” Fang Yu turned around again and walked toward the gate, saying, “If you still don’t tell me, then the opportunity will be gone.”

After saying this, Fang Yu walked into the mansion.

Su Changgé watched Fang Yu’s back until the two stone doors slowly closed.

He stood there, his eyes slightly reddened, fists clenched.

Then, he turned and left.

…

After returning home, Fang Yu immediately went to the quietest forest in the eastern part of the mansion.

He found a shaded spot, sat down in meditation, and examined his internal body.

Seeing the condition inside his body, Fang Yu was stunned.

At this moment, the inside of his body was like a starry sky with a transparent background.

His meridians had transformed into faint golden light beams, connecting all the acupoints throughout his body.

And the important acupoints, like stars of different sizes, emitted light.

In his dantian area, the dragon and phoenix power, along with the fire lotus symbolizing the burning Departure Fire Jade below, shone like the sun in the starry sky, emitting dazzling radiance.

This was the current state inside Fang Yu’s body.

Fang Yu had read many books, but none had ever recorded any cultivator having a similar condition inside their body.

He had never even heard of it, let alone seen it with his own eyes.

When communicating with the man surnamed Ji, he thought it was just an illusion.

But now back in reality, examining his body internally… it still looked the same.

This confirmed that these changes were indeed brought by the Great Dao Spirit Body!

“The effects of the Great Dao Spirit Body… manifest in all aspects.”

Recalling the words of the man surnamed Ji, Fang Yu frowned slightly, pondering carefully.

As far as he could tell, the existence of the Great Dao Spirit Body hadn’t caused Fang Yu to feel any abnormal sensations in his body.

Of course, Master Sanling’s palm strike at Xuanyuan Gate had demonstrated the power of the Great Dao Spirit Body…

But since the man surnamed Ji said the Great Dao Spirit Body would manifest in all aspects, it certainly wasn’t limited to just defense.

Exactly what aspects would require gradual exploration.

After examining his body internally for half an hour, Fang Yu withdrew his divine consciousness and returned to reality.

Although the Great Dao Spirit Body was worth studying, what concerned him more… were the words of the man surnamed Ji.

Who exactly was this person? Was that scene truly the immortal realm? And… who was the person the man surnamed Ji mentioned, who had told him to wait for Fang Yu’s arrival?

“Surname Ji…”

With just a surname, there was no way to investigate.

The only people with the surname Ji that Fang Yu knew were the Ji family from Jiangnan, Ji Dongshan and Ji Rumei, father and daughter…

The man surnamed Ji couldn’t possibly be related to them.

As for whether that scene was the immortal realm… Fang Yu’s intuition at the time was to believe what the man surnamed Ji said.

But if that scene was the immortal realm, then the Half-Spirit Realm he had visited before…

The scene in the Half-Spirit Realm… was extremely similar to the scene where the man surnamed Ji was!

And the Half-Spirit Realm certainly wasn’t the immortal realm, but an independent space created by Dao Kong.

But if Dao Kong had designed the Half-Spirit Realm to look like that… did it mean he knew what the immortal realm looked like?

Why would he know the appearance of the immortal realm? Because he had seen it, or had been there before?

Thinking of Dao Kong’s title, Immortal Dao Kong…

“Could it be that this Dao Kong is truly an immortal?”

As soon as this thought appeared, Fang Yu immediately shook his head.

That’s impossible.

If Dao Kong were truly an immortal, the Half-Spirit Clan would have dominated the world long ago. Why would they need to do so many underhanded things?

Even when the Half-Spirit Realm was destroyed, Dao Kong’s true self was still hiding somewhere in so-called seclusion.

So, there was only one possibility: Dao Kong had indeed, under some circumstances, seen the appearance of the immortal realm, imprinted it in his mind, and then replicated it in the independent space.

This was just like how Fang Yu had seen the immortal realm this time… although the probability was low, it was indeed possible.

The third question: who exactly was the person mentioned by the man surnamed Ji?

“Long ago, someone told me to wait here for your arrival.”

“In the future, you should have the opportunity to meet this person.”

Just these two sentences.

Who could it be?

How long ago was “long ago”?

At this point, Fang Yu recalled Su Changgé saying that the Xuanyuan Spirit Stone had existed for thousands of years.

And the man surnamed Ji said that long ago, someone had told him to wait for Fang Yu in the Xuanyuan Spirit Stone…

So it could be inferred that the time when that person instructed the man surnamed Ji was probably some time before thousands of years ago.

Although Fang Yu had lived for nearly five thousand years, this timeline still didn’t make sense.

Could it be that this man surnamed Ji was waiting for Fang Yu’s arrival in the Xuanyuan Spirit Stone before Fang Yu was born… or when he had just been born?

This… became stranger the more he thought about it.

When Fang Yu was just born, he was a physically weak little kid who couldn’t even beat the neighbor’s five or six-year-old child when he was seven or eight.

How could anyone tell at that time that he would live for five thousand years?

It was simply fantastical.

Fang Yu scratched his head and stopped thinking deeply about it.

He still believed that the man surnamed Ji had mistaken him for someone else.

Since it was the Xuanyuan Spirit Stone of Xuanyuan Gate, it should naturally be passed down to the descendants of Xuanyuan Gate.

However… Fang Yu, an outsider, had gotten there first.

But even so, there was nothing to be done about it.

For so many years, Xuanyuan Gate hadn’t produced a genius disciple who could pick up the Xuanyuan Spirit Stone. This was Xuanyuan Gate’s own problem.

And the Great Dao Spirit Body was personally given to Fang Yu by the man surnamed Ji, so he couldn’t refuse.

Thinking this way, he felt more at ease.

…

The news of Xuanyuan Gate being forcefully attacked quickly spread throughout the entire Great Western Forest.

And Great Western Forest quickly transmitted this news to the martial arts world.

Xuanyuan Gate, one of the top sects in North Capital, was attacked, with the sect’s Grand Elder Master Sanling’s fate unknown, and many disciples injured!

And the legendary Xuanyuan Spirit Stone with thousands of years of history was also shattered!

The perpetrator of all this was Fang Yu!

Fang Yu again… Fang Yu again!

This person had just crushed six of the eight great families to a half-dead state, and now he had extended his hand to the sect world!

And once he made his move, he directly targeted Xuanyuan Gate, the top-tier sect in North Capital’s sect world!

What did this lawless madman want to do!?

In just one night, the news of Xuanyuan Gate being attacked by Fang Yu became the focal topic in North Capital.

And the focus within the focal topic was still Fang Yu.

This time, public opinion toward Fang Yu was mostly condemnatory.
