1092 Golden Soul Frui

Kaboom!

Numerous golden beasts stomped all around, leaving deep marks on the ground.

After some time, a mound exploded, and Fang Yuan's figure appeared. "How dangerous!"

A cultivator's flying speed was greatly impaired under the influence of the Nomological Laws of Gravity in this Golden Soul Realm. The beasts might be able to catch up with him, or even jump into the air to shoot him down.

Moreover, the sky in this world was not safe either. Since there were golden crows, there could be other flying beasts.

"Something's not right…" Fang Yuan gave it some thought, and his eyes shone. "It's impossible for Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators to encounter a beast tide so early. They wouldn't have any chance to escape! Even if this evaluation was deliberately made more difficult, this is too much!"

He spread his spiritual will.

This world was vast and boundless, and it was apparent from his spiritual will that there were strong and weak golden beasts.

"In summary, the layout should be concentric rings. The closer to the core, the denser the beasts, the more difficult it will get!

"The place I was dropped in… is actually in the deepest part of the first ring, close to the boundary of the second ring… This is simply murder!"

Fang Yuan was speechless.

When merged with the Illusion Realm's nomological laws, the scope of his spiritual will was far beyond that of an Immortal. It was hidden, and he discovered many things.

Otherwise, he would definitely not survive if he continued on without a plan.

"An ordinary trial would start at the outermost area, where there are fewer beasts. With luck and strength, you would survive… But I offended Tie Kuangtu, so it became more difficult…"

Fang Yuan shook his head and became engrossed in extending his spiritual will deep into the depths. "One, two, three… six, seven! Are there at least seven levels?"

The advancement of every level meant an increase in difficulty.

The seventh level was not the end either, merely the limit of his spiritual will.

"As expected, like the Thirty-Three-Level Outer Heaven Tower, there are differences in levels… This type of environment was deliberately created only for Holy Lands to select disciples!"

Fang Yuan found an iron tree, sat on one of its branches, and casually plucked a fruit with a slight golden sheen.

"Of course… opportunities coexist with risks. The effect of this fruit is much stronger than that of the iron fruit at the Iron Mountain Gate. It's at least as good as a beast core. If you ate one every day, you would be able to strengthen your body to the dao artifact level even without cultivating much!

"If the outer areas are already like this, there must be a lot of good stuff deeper inside!"

Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes with a dangerous light, but he gave up after a short while.

"This Golden Soul Realm isn't the Outer Heaven Tower and has a master. Once someone is too outstanding, the artifact spirit will definitely notice, and it might even attract a Grand Unity Immortal!"

He was here only to search for the Nine Transference Undying Method, not to be noticed.

"I can't be too careful!"

Fang Yuan sighed and swung his saber casually.

Poof!

A small golden snake the width of a finger split into two pieces and continued twisting on the ground.

"The fruits of such iron trees seem to be guarded by golden beasts?"

He landed on the ground, frowning. "For example, the golden earthworm in the soil just now."

There would naturally be nothing without a role in such a trial ground.

There were flying mutated beasts in the sky and beast tides on the ground, even golden beasts within the ground! He suffered successive attacks from golden earthworms and centipedes the width of his arm.

The survival rate for inferior cultivators who hid underground would be way worse than those who could utilize the complex terrain to escape.

"In that case…"

He thought about it while looking at the light source hanging in the center. He chose a direction at random and started moving.

He would naturally not head straight toward the center, and anyone would feel that his route was strange.

The route that Fang Yuan chose was slightly roundabout but much safer. Anyone who saw his route afterward would only deduce that he was lucky.

"This Golden Soul Realm suppresses the soul as well, and it's difficult to spread spiritual will. People like me with complete comprehension of the Illusion Realm's nomological laws are rare… It's more realistic to become lost…"

Fang Yuan's understanding of the Golden Soul Realm was extremely deep after adapting to it for a short while.

Unfortunately, he had not been able to pry for more information after seeing Golden Mount Meru's Illusion Realm's nomological laws or even look for this primordial treasure's control hub.

These Holy Lands were not the type of sects with only Immortals like before.

Not only were there Grand Unity Immortals, but it was also possible for the birth of a Grand Supreme existence!

At that point, they were completely capable of comprehending by analogy, like Elder Tai Xuan had, to touch top nomological laws such as the Illusion Realm and time, even reaching complete comprehension. The Golden Mount Meru outside was proof!

Even if there were no terrifying almighty existences, with the history of a Holy Land, there must have been disciples who had comprehended top nomological laws. How could they not have any defenses against spatial penetration?

A Holy Land had to have no weaknesses in their defenses. Otherwise, they were bound to decline even if otherworldly demons did not attack.

"Keep a low profile! Low profile! My minimum target is to obtain the last six transferences of the Nine Transference Undying Method. Of course, it would be best if I could take advantage of the resources here to improve drastically!"

Fang Yuan realized that this Golden Soul Sect was the best place for cultivating body refining techniques.

Ten Iron Mountain Gate fruits could not even compare to one Golden Soul Fruit.

He wanted the Nine Transference Undying Method to refine his body to become comparable to an immortal artifact or even a primordial treasure, and this required the support of specific heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

Relying on this great force to collect them was much faster than on his own.

After all, the Great Sage Immortal World was not the Sixteen Countries, and he could not obtain all of them by himself.

…

Fang Yuan deliberately slowed down and avoided the golden beasts, especially the flying beasts that could give warnings, so his progress was very slow.

After two days, he finally left the danger zone near the second level and arrived at the periphery of the first level.

The density of the beasts dropped significantly here, and it was considerably safer.

"Less than half of the seven days have passed. The remaining task is to collect as many of these golden fruits as possible…"

Fang Yuan took a bite out of the fruit in his hand. "Obviously, this type of fruit has great effects on various types of body refining techniques. If not for this evaluation, I wouldn't have been able to get my hands on them…"

After eating them, he knew that this fruit was very beneficial for the first three transferences of the Nine Transference Undying Method!

"Unfortunately… with the scarcity of the golden beasts, the frequency of golden fruits appearing decreases. It's a loss on one side and gain on the other side… But this doesn't mean there won't be more chances in the future!"

Fang Yuan's eyes glistened.

Suddenly, his spiritual will found something hundreds of kilometers away.

"People?! Seems like disciples of the Golden Soul Sect…"

He flew closer, and more information arrived.

"Junior Brother Chu, I contributed my part to enter the Golden Soul Realm this time, so don't forget what you promised me!"

The two disciples in golden clothes did not realize Fang Yuan was spying on them. They continued talking while avoiding the golden beasts.

"Please rest assured. I'll return your contribution in Golden Soul Fruits!"

The other disciple smiled fawningly. "Senior Brother Xiao, you should have cultivated your Thousand Wind Hundred Refinement Technique to a high level by now? Your body is only a bit away from being comparable to a top-grade dao artifact. You will become an inner disciple when you reach the second region!"

"What is a mere inner disciple? My goal is the third region!" Senior Brother Xiao was clearly ambitious. "I hope the Golden Soul Fruits can help me break through this time… Too bad the Golden Soul Fruits in the first two regions are low quality. Mid-quality ones will only appear in the third region! I heard that there are high-quality and even top-quality ones in deeper regions. If I had the help of such items, my body would advance to become comparable to an immortal artifact!

"It will be easy to overcome the tribulation if I can refine my body to become comparable to an immortal artifact. At that time, I will become one of the core disciples and can compete for the position of sect master. Even if it doesn't work out, I'll still become an elder!"

The two disciples in gold clothes grinned in anticipation.

The difficulty of cultivating body refining techniques was different before and after the tribulation.

Take the Immortals of the Golden Soul Sect for example. Most of their bodies were comparable to an immortal artifact, but many of them only succeeded after their tribulation.

Anyone who could refine their body to the degree of an immortal artifact before their tribulation would definitely become a core disciple!

Such a disciple would be able to survive the lightning tribulation. They were true geniuses and had the hope of becoming the sect master!

Fang Yuan eavesdropped and learned all kinds of inside stories. He did not show himself and began his second round of harvesting.

A few days later, Senior Brother Xiao and Junior Brother Chu reached the border of the second region. Their faces were ugly. "I'm not sure what happened, but there are a lot fewer Golden Soul Fruits. We can only take some risks!"

"We're merely roaming around the border. The golden beasts of the second region usually won't chase after us like this…" Senior Brother Xiao was very sure of this. "If we want to become inner disciple, we have to go deep into the second region and survive for more than three days!"

"We won't be able to survive even one attack from a normal golden beast without bodies at the top-grade dao artifact level. Let's forget it…" Junior Brother Chu had a cold sweat.

Caw caw!

The sudden ear-piercing cry from a crow made their expressions change. "Sh*t! It's the alarm crow!"

Kaboom!

It did not take long for a beast tide to appear. Their eyes were red, seemingly provoked, and they came from all directions.

"No… Why are we so unlucky?!" Senior Brother Xiao roared in despair. Looking at the impending golden beasts, he finally tore a talisman, and their two figures immediately disappeared…

"Great. I'll go harvest while these two hold the attention of the golden beasts!"

As the oriole behind, Fang Yuan's eyes flashed with glee.
