Chapter 471: Paying a Visit

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Yingchou City.

The lofty and majestic looking city seemed rather bleak in the sunset.

There were all sorts of markings on the steel-like city walls caused by swords and axes. Miles and miles of ground were covered in a deep red colour. Rumours were that there was too much bloodshed which caused the ground to be dyed red.

This stronghold of the Imperial Court was the last hurdle before the Jade Capital. Now, it had already fully fallen into the hands of Shi Longtu.

Not only were there large amounts of armies gathered, there were also many dream masters from the 5 Grand Organisations. They were guarding against any sudden attacks from the Imperial Court and their level of alertness was higher than ever before.

Fang Yuan merely strolled forward and immediately felt the immense power of an array scanning pass him.

This was the array that enveloped ten miles over Yingchou City, it was like a radar and was specially used to detect any invaders. Although Fang Yuan could sneak right through it, he chose not to avoid it instead and directly revealed himself.

"Who are you?"

Soon enough, a group of dream masters rushed over. They appeared extremely cautious.

After all, from the feedback of the array, Fang Yuan had a profound cultivation which was truly terrifying. If there were not any allied soldiers who reacted, it might even alarm a few elders.

"Fang Yuan from Realm Alliance!"

Fang Yuan casually showed his proof of identity.

"Oh, a law enforcer from the Realm Alliance! I am Su Lu from Baize Mountain. Greetings, Sir!"

The leader of this small group was a 5th Tier Illusionary Divine dream master. However, he immediately bowed to Fang Yuan and was obviously rather ingratiating.

’Fang Yuan?’

’That genius who’s less than 30 years old but broke through to True Divine?’

’Not only that, he’s also at the 4th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage! Such talentedness, he’s simply a rare freak!’

Behind Su Lu, a few Illusionary Divine dream masters were exchanging glances and secretly communicating through their spiritual wills.

However, with Fang Yuan’s current strength, all these could not be hidden from him and he heard everything.

"How’s the current situation of the battle?"

Fang Yuan waved his arms and asked straightforwardly.

Currently, the 5 Grand Organisations had joined forces. They were very sincere in cooperating and working with each other before the fall of Da Qian.

"Shi Longtu had already assembled 30,000 soldiers and they are prepared to charge directly to Jade Capital City!"

Su Lu spoke calmly. He knew that without the help of the 5 Grand Organisations, even if 30,000 soldiers were gathered, they would be defeated.

"Looks like it has finally caught up, who’s the elder from Realm Alliance that’s taking charge here?"

Fang Yuan asked.

"It is Elder Extreme Darkness!" Su Lu quickly answered. Inside his mind, he further confirmed the rumours he always heard about Fang Yuan, that Fang Yuan was a cultivator who would be too engrossed in his own cultivation that he wouldn’t know about what had happened in the outside world.

"Okay! Bring me to her!"

Fang Yuan was very calm. He waved his hand and allowed Su Lu to lead his way.

Inside Fang Yuan’s actualised dream world, numerous seals were formed on the outside that protected the stone figure of a young girl, ensuring that it would not be revealed.

....

It was now a huge military camp both inside and outside Yingchou City.

The best spots in the city had totally nothing to do with Shi Longtu nor his men. Instead, they were occupied by the dream masters from the 5 Grand Organisations.

As the Realm Alliance’s highest in-charge of Yingchou City, Extreme Darkness naturally had the best mansion. It was said that this mansion used to belong to the deputy city master and it occupied huge amounts of land. The pavilions, gardens and the cloisters were still perfectly preserved and they were unusually exquisite.

"Fang Yuan requests to see Elder Extreme Darkness!"

Fang Yuan arrived outside the mansion and requested.

"Come in!"

A voice was heard and It sounded calm and rather chilly. Fang Yuan was used to it, whereas Su Lu laughed bitterly, "You can go ahead, I shall leave first!"

Su Lu quickly left. Evidently, their impressions of Extreme Darkness were not very good.

Fang Yuan was slightly speechless. He walked into the mansion and followed his feeling towards the garden at the back.

Although the mansion was opulent and was like a palace, there was no trace of humans living here at all. The further he walked, the chilly feeling in the air felt even stronger.

"Tsk tsk..."

Fang Yuan shook his head and took a step into the garden.

The precious flowers and plants on both sides were half-dead and half-alive, half-withered and half-living. The leaves were covered in slight frost and looked really eerie.

All these were not intentional. They were naturally caused as they were in an environment under the influence of such a powerful presence.

If normal people were here instead, they would not even be able to survive more than three days. Even Illusionary Divine dream masters would suffer severe injuries to their elemental energy.

Fang Yuan nodded his head. He knew why Elder Extreme Darkness always appeared as though she was fated to be lonely forever.

"You have come, that’s great!"

Inside a small pavilion in the middle of the garden, Elder Extreme Darkness sat cross-legged. As she saw Fang Yuan arrive, her expressions remained calm-looking. Only the slight glint in her eyes betrayed her.

Although Fang Yuan did not have deep ties with Elder Extreme Darkness, he still imprisoned a magical clone of hers in Planet Earth Realm. As the magical clone was imprisoned for 10 years, all sorts of intelligence were dug out naturally. Hence, Fang Yuan could confirm that she was secretly examining him.

"Great!"

Elder Extreme Darkness looked at Fang Yuan’s body and praised, "You are already at the 5th Tier of Illusionary Divine, right? Looks like this half a year did not go to waste after all!"

"After all, it’s a battle of life and death, why would I dare to slack off?"

Fang Yuan shook his head and entered the small pavilion. He then sat cross-legged opposite Extreme Darkness.

Elder Extreme Darkness’ appearance was exactly the same as her magical clone. However, that magical clone did not have such a chilly disposition. Along with the outside environment, she was just like a cold beauty in the moon palace as she kept people far away from her and yet tempted them to think of her.

"Not... not only did I not waste the time, I have huge gains too!"

Elder Extreme Darkness stared at Fang Yuan as though she could not wait to see right through him, "Can you tell me what you have gained? To be truthful, I still felt exasperated afterwards and went into the realm another time. However, I was targeted by the realm’s will and the natives and could not really enter the realm... And now, the entire realm has changed drastically, it seems to be like the Ancient Realm now and is resisting our intrusion."

Fang Yuan remained silent as he thought.

Although he believed what Extreme Darkness said was true, just because she could not enter the realm did not mean that she could not send other dream masters on to a mission into the realm.

Although other dream masters would be extremely weak once they enter Planet Earth Realm, they could still send intelligence back.

In the last 10 years inside the realm, Fang Yuan was still a widely renowned powerhouse. It would not be hard to hear about him.

In actual fact, there was no use even if Fang Yuan changed his name and appearance. After all, dream masters would seek for their own kind, and Fang Yuan would still be discovered too easily.

At this stage, Planet Earth Realm began to seal off itself. Thus, the secrets of the last battle could not be transmitted out, which was an advantage for Fang Yuan.

"I have quite the gains! I met the war between two realms!"

Fang Yuan replied with his half-truths and did not mention anything about the Demonic Heart Realm at all, "I took the opportunity to reap some benefits!"

"Oh! So that was it!"

Extreme Darkness nodded her head. Fang Yuan did not know whether she believed him or not.

In actual fact, Fang Yuan guessed that she was definitely feeling suspicious, just that she did not say it out.

After all, exploring foreign realms were dream masters’ personal matters. They did not have to turn over any rewards gained unless they were on a mission.

Although Extreme Darkness sent a dream mater to go observe during the later periods, the laws of Planet Earth Realm were too harsh. Even though this dream master had stayed for 10 years, not much of his strength was restored and thus, he could not have any contact with the top level information.

Furthermore, the big war was impending in Da Qian, who would spend the effort to send a powerful person down to such a dangerous realm?

They would not have special abilities like Fang Yuan. Even if a sage was sent down, he would have to start from being a normal mortal and would be tortured by the laws of Planet Earth Realm.

Therefore, what Elder Extreme Darkness said just now was 30% truth and 70% guesses, as she wanted to try to deceive Fang Yuan and whether it succeeded or failed did not matter.

However, as she saw how calm Fang Yuan was, her expressionless face began to move finally.

She frowned slightly and asked, "To be frank... I sensed a body that was very suitable for me to enter in Planet Earth Realm. It was a young girl with black and white wings, do you have any impression of it?"

"Of course!"

A tinge of awkwardness appeared on Fang Yuan’s face as he explained everything about the Golden Eagle Federation’s Demon Weapon Plan, "... During the last battle, that Demon Weapon was battered into powder. I’m afraid it’s long dead."

"Battered into powder?"

Extreme Darkness took a quick glance at Fang Yuan and did not say much, "Okay... Golden Eagle Federation. Hehe... once Da Qian is settled, I will personally enter this realm again!"

The savagery in her voice even made Fang Yuan shudder.

Although Elder Extreme Darkness might have suspected Fang Yuan, that body was just a clone. Even though it was killed, it would not be wise for her to be on unfriendly terms with a True Divine on the same side as her.

Since Planet Earth Realm was enraged, Fang Yuan reckoned that if Extreme Darkness were to really enter the realm, with her temper, there would be quite the bloodshed.

"Okay, let’s not talk about the topic of exploring realms anymore!"

After Elder Extreme Darkness decided, she regained her composure very quickly and continued, "During this big war, the 5 Grand Organisations are brothers and sisters! All missions are shared and you can check them out in the Dream Realm!"

"Since you’re here, just join the huge army at our side and head towards Jade Capital City together!"

"That’s exactly what I intended to do!"

Naturally, Fang Yuan had no qualms about such and immediately agreed.

Afterwards, Elder Extreme Darkness closed her eyes and waved her hand.

Fang Yuan understood her and took his leave. He looked for a member of the Realm Alliance and asked for the second best mansion. He then entered the mansion and rested.

Inside the meditation room.

Fang Yuan sat cross-legged. An enchantment appeared that separated what was inside from the outside.

"During the face-to-face conversation, Extreme Darkness only thought I was at the 5th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage. Looks like the concealment of this dream elemental force is very effective. I wonder how effective it would be in front of a sage?"

Fang Yuan recollected the entire meeting with Extreme Darkness and made up his mind, "To be safe, I shall refrain from meeting with sages."

Fang Yuan then entered the Dream Realm with his spiritual will.

Fang Yuan’s figure appeared at once Inside Green Bronze Hall, Realm Alliance Mountain. He began looking through the rock tablet.

"Indeed... all missions are shared and all pieces of intelligence are shared too. Originally, it was the 5 Grand Organisations who created the Dream Realm. Once mobilised, the entire Dream Realm would be the biggest intelligence and logistics base. The Imperial Court can only forsake this place and set up another system, or else all their secrets would be leaked!"

Although the Dream Realm was dictated by the Kun Spirit to ensure absolute fairness, Fang Yuan believed that the 5 Grand Organisations definitely secretly tampered with it. Thus, they could join hands and dominate the command of the Dream Realm and manipulate the Kun Spirit.

Therefore, if the Imperial Court dared to use the Dream Realm again, they would be courting death!

This point could be seen previously when Mu Hezi gave out the secret method to contact the Hidden Dragon Guards.
