When Fang Yuan returned to Hu Immortal blessed land, Little Hu Immortal immediately appeared before him, her large watery eyes filled with tears.
She grabbed onto his robes as she cried loudly.
"You're back… Master, you're finally back! You have to fix this mess, it's a huge mess! Master, I'm scared!"
Fang Yuan glanced at Little Hu Immortal clinging tightly to his clothes before patting her head calmly. Then he began evaluating the condition of the blessed land.
And the situation was truly terrible.
Desolate beasts and ancient desolate beasts rampaged everywhere, furiously attacking the immortal formations. The situation was dire—under such relentless assaults, the formations would not last long.
On the other side, desolate plants and ancient desolate plants had rooted themselves deep into the soil and rocks, crazily devouring nutrients.
Parts of the vegetation had already been destroyed because of this. If the situation continued, countless living beings would die, many carnivorous creatures would lose their food sources, and eventually the entire ecosystem would collapse.
At that point, the losses would be unimaginably severe.
There were also countless resource points clashing against one another. The sudden increase in resource points had caused a massive surge in the blessed land's dao marks, which would create long-term consequences.
Fortunately, Fang Yuan had arrived prepared.
He first suppressed the desolate beasts and ancient desolate beasts by enslaving them through an immortal killer move using Immortal Gu Beast Enslavement as the core.
Although the burden on his soul was irritating, it was merely a temporary solution.
Afterward, he established a large number of immortal formations and dispatched his human path clones to handle secondary details while he personally went to suppress the desolate plants.
Suppressing the desolate plants was relatively simple since they were not naturally inclined toward combat. However, the ancient desolate plant Underground Meat Tree gave him quite the headache. Even so, Fang Yuan eventually subdued it and created a suitable environment for its growth.
At the same time, he repaired the damaged vegetation using a wood path immortal formation with the Immortal Gu Wood Growth as its core.
The effects appeared instantly.
The environment immediately began recovering.
Only then did Fang Yuan arrange the desolate plants and ancient desolate plants into designated regions for nurturing.
He also left behind formations and a portion of his will, along with a small amount of immortal essence to control them.
"Every desolate plant is a large-sized resource point, and ancient desolate plants are even more valuable… Over time, leaves, branches, or even sap will naturally fall from them. All of those are rank six and rank seven immortal materials. Just a single ancient desolate plant alone can serve as an endless source of income for an Immortal Gu Master!"
Because of this, Fang Yuan did not mind using Immortal Gu to establish wood path formations.
It was absolutely worth it.
After finishing all of this, Fang Yuan began considering a method to resolve the conflicts between resource points.
"What a pity I don't possess a heaven path Immortal Gu. Otherwise, this would be much easier. But even if I did possess one, activating it would require massive amounts of heaven path immortal materials—or sufficient heaven path dao marks within myself."
The entry barrier for heaven path was simply too high.
There was not a single true heaven path cultivator in the world.
Only Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable had achieved such a feat after a hundred thousand years of planning. Even Limitless Demon Venerable had merely researched heaven path rather than truly cultivating it.
It could be said that Fang Yuan possessed the deepest understanding and research into heaven path.
He had Heavenly Court's three million years of research, Paradise Earth's complete heaven path inheritance, and Great Grandmaster attainment in heaven path.
"My goal doesn't necessarily need to be immortal killer moves. If I create an immortal formation using heaven path immortal materials, that should be enough to solve these conflicts, right?"
Fang Yuan could use mortal heaven path killer moves to slightly reduce the conflict between dao marks at resource points.
However, if he truly wanted meaningful results, he would need to activate those mortal killer moves thousands upon thousands of times.
Compared to that, formations were far more convenient.
Formation path provided astonishing benefits at lower cost. Formation path grandmasters could use the dao marks within immortal materials to create immortal formations.
And Fang Yuan, as a Great Grandmaster in formation path, could utilize them even more skillfully.
As for heaven path immortal materials—
Lang Ya blessed land possessed quite a few.
Not enough to refine an Immortal Gu, but more than sufficient for constructing an immortal formation.
Fang Yuan immediately contacted Lang Ya land spirit and ordered him to gather and send over the materials.
Before long, the heaven path immortal materials arrived.
There were rank eight heavenly crystals, heavenly reflections, and many other heaven path immortal materials.
Fang Yuan gathered them all before beginning construction of a super formation that connected every resource point together, resolving the conflicts between dao marks and instead creating perfect balance and harmony among them.
Through this formation, Fang Yuan gained even deeper insight into heaven path and its terrifying influence over resource points.
He could not help but sigh in admiration.
"Heaven path is truly profound beyond imagination… The heavenly dao emphasizes balance among all living beings, and this principle manifests deeply within heaven path itself… Stability and balance are the fundamental qualities of heaven path!"
In his previous life, Fang Yuan had never fully touched upon the true profundity of heaven path.
He had never uncovered all of heaven path's mysteries due to the immense pressure constantly weighing upon him, leaving him with no opportunity to properly analyze his gains.
But now that he finally had the chance, his understanding of heaven path deepened rapidly.
Although Fang Yuan was already a Great Grandmaster in heaven path, he still required experimentation and practical application to fully realize the potential of his attainment.
After all—
What use was theoretical understanding if it was never applied in practice?
After finishing the formation, Fang Yuan left behind a large quantity of immortal essence alongside his will to maintain control over it. Then he departed for Lang Ya blessed land to resolve the remaining problems there.
Within Lang Ya blessed land, the situation was far better.
There were fewer issues regarding rampaging desolate beasts or desolate plants consuming vegetation, as Lang Ya land spirit possessed exceptional methods and countless techniques for dealing with such problems.
Thus, Fang Yuan did not remain long before returning to Imperial Court blessed land once more.
When he returned, a subordinate of Hei tribe was already waiting outside his residence, inviting him to meet Hei Lou Lan.
Fang Yuan was about to agree—
But at that very moment, the earth trembled violently.
From nowhere, fierce winds howled while a dazzling light erupted from the peak of the Sacred Palace.
The radiance lasted for forty-five whole minutes before gradually dispersing.
Then, in the very same location, a towering structure appeared within the barren lands.
Fang Yuan slowly raised his head.
His gaze pierced through the Sacred Palace before landing upon that enormous tower.
An excited smile surfaced within his heart as he whispered softly:
"Eighty-Eight True Yang Building!"
