Chapter 1066: 509
Originally, Fang Mu had not planned to carry out [Order Realm Peeking] so soon.
Because of Wang Mi and Xu Fengnian, there was no need for Fang Mu to seek additional help to compete for the Growth Type Secret land.
If he were to seek more help, it would just be to ensure a near certain victory in the competition.
Wang Mi and Xu Fengnian, eager to make an alliance with Qixing, the Saint Creator, would certainly do their utmost to help.
Fang Mu had no doubts about this.
[Order Realm Peeking] required one to bear soul and consciousness trauma when attempting to take higher dimensional world beings or items.
...
Through his trade with Chonghuaju, Fang Mu had acquired a Four-winged Flower Spirit Green Bug Lotus.
Within the leaf pouches of the Green Bug Lotus, a batch of Green Worms was about to mature, and by the evening, they should break free from their leaf pouches.
These Green Worms could heal soul and willpower trauma at an extremely fast rate, eliminating all of Fang Muâs worries from the root.
However, before he performed [Order Realm Peeking], Fang Mu needed a place where no one would disturb him.
Fang Mu needed to have a talk with Shu Liangjun.
Fang Mu held great respect for Dao Protector Shu Liangjun, but he had also been deliberately changing his stature in the eyes of Shu Liangjun.
Lately, Shu Liangjunâs actions had become more and more dependent on Fang Mu, taking Fang Muâs commands as the primary directive.
This was something Fang Mu was very pleased to see.
Because only then could Fang Mu comfortably interact with Shu Liangjun.
If Shu Liangjun constantly restricted him, Fang Mu would not keep such a restraint by his side.
Fang Muâs trump cards and secrets were known only to himself in this world.
Making it so that no one else could make judgments for Fang Mu.
After dinner, Fang Mu stopped Shu Liangjun.
âElder Shu, I have some very important matters to attend to in the next few days, and Iâm not sure how long they will take.â
âIt could cause quite a stir.â
âCurrently, the entire fourth floor of the manor is uninhabited, I will be conducting my seclusion there.â
âCould you help me seal off the entrance to the fourth floor and ensure that no one disturbs me?â
âIf things get too loud, I hope you can help me control it and try not to let the noise spread outside.â
Having said this, Fang Mu took out a Brocade Box and handed it to Shu Liangjun.
Inside the Brocade Box were exactly five bottles of Spiritual Elixir.
Fang Mu knew that once Shu Liangjun opened the Brocade Box and saw its contents, he would understand how earnest Fang Muâs request was.
Upon seeing the Brocade Box being handed to him by Fang Mu, Shu Liangjunâs face did not show the delight that Wang Mi and Xu Fengnian had shown just before.
With displeasure, he pushed the Brocade Box back towards Fang Mu.
âLittle Wood, what are you implying?â
âI am your Dao Protector, not someone who helps you just for resources!â
âBesides, youâve already arranged the resources I need for my daily improvement.â
âWhatâs the point of giving me more Supplies!?â
Shu Liangjun believed he understood Fang Mu quite well.
If he accepted the Supplies Fang Mu offered this time, he knew that Fang Muâs attitude towards him would gradually change.
In the future, when helping Fang Mu, Fang Mu would start to perceive his actions as transactions.
For his own sake and the sake of his relationship with Fang Mu, Shu Liangjun didnât wish for that outcome.
Hearing this, Fang Mu stared intently at Shu Liangjun for a long while before retracting the Brocade Box and bowing earnestly to him.
âThen, Elder Shu, I will have to trouble you with this!â
Before going into seclusion, Fang Mu also specifically engaged in several Battle Network duels with Hu Tao.
With a streak of victories, he successfully elevated the Peach Wood Team to Platinum Rank.
During this series of duels with Hu Tao, Fang Mu noticed an increase in fans in the live stream room compared to before.
Most of Hu Taoâs previous fans were also his own fans.
But now, the live streaming room had many more fans solely devoted to Hu Tao.
Fang Mu was very pleased with this situation.
It meant that Hu Taoâs live streaming career was improving.
Fang Mu had guessed that these fans came from Hu Taoâs own achievements in solo duels.
Indeed, solo duels tended to attract followers more easily than team battles.
Hu Tao, after contracting the Retrace Sparrow Demon, already possessed the strength to take on anyone in a solo duel.
The time Fang Mu and Hu Tao finished their duo duel wasnât late.
After leaving the Battle Network, Fang Mu made separate calls to Fang Yuan, Yan Wood, and Fang Qin.
Normally, Fang Mu communicated with the three every day, but this time he was unsure how long his journey to a higher-dimensional world would take.
Informing his siblings in advance would save them the worry about him.
After ensuring everything was in order, Fang Mu arrived at the largest cultivation room on the fourth floor of the manor.
First, he prepared a large nutritious meal for himself, ensuring his physical energy was at its peak.
Then, Fang Mu summoned Foolâs Shadow, took a deep breath, and together they activated the exclusive trait [Order Realm Peeking].
The mist swirled with illusions released from Foolâs Shadow, like a giant maw engulfing the entire cultivation room from within.
A crack gradually appeared within the gray mist.
The spatial energy inside was continuously aggregating and folding, the rapid movement of space emitting a mesmerizing sound, as if whispering from ancient gods.
After a while, the deep fissure stabilized before Fang Mu.
As long as Fang Mu projected his soul and will into this crack, he could explore a higher-dimensional world.
Fang Mu was both nervous and eager about this, yet he felt not a hint of trepidation.
Because the exclusive trait [Order Realm Peeking] of Foolâs Shadow had a self-protection mechanism for Fang Mu.
Until absolute safety could be ensured, Fang Mu would not greedily seek items or creatures from a higher-dimensional world.
After casting his soul and consciousness into the fissure, Fang Mu only felt his soul undergoing a long journey in a drowsy and heavy state.
Soon, a strange world appeared before Fang Mu.
The sky of this world was a light purple, and the ground was full of jagged, dark purple rocks.
The biting wind blew through the realm.
Fortunately, as a soul body, Fang Mu wasnât subjected to the disturbances of the wind and sand.
As the master of Foolâs Shadow, Fang Mu knew that each time [Order Realm Peeking] connected to a different higher-dimensional world.
The next time he used [Order Realm Peeking], it was very likely no longer to be this world.
Each world was, to Fang Mu, equivalent to only a single opportunity.
Therefore, Fang Mu had to explore this world as thoroughly as possible.
Drifting through this world for quite a while, Fang Mu found it eerily silent.
Fang Mu found it difficult to regard it as a higher-dimensional world.
The purple sky lent the world an extremely dark and oppressive vibe, a feeling Fang Mu did not appreciate.
Suddenly, Fang Mu noticed a faint light ahead.
A few glowing blue plants grew on a protruding rock face in front of him.
The jagged surface of the dark purple rocks had more or fewer cracks, within which indeed there were plants.
But those plants were far from being as special as the one before him.
Just as Fang Mu was about to go forward for a closer look, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the distance.
This sound indicated that some massive creatures were approaching.
Once a creatureâs soul becomes strong enough, it can sense the presence of other beings in its surroundings.
Fang Mu found a large boulder to use as a hideout for his soul and tried his best to contain his soul energy.
Fang Mu definitely didnât want to be sent back by the powerful creatures of this higher-dimensional world upon just arriving.
The rumbling sounds grew clearer and clearer.
Fang Mu saw several scorpion-like creatures, each about a hundred meters tall and nearly a kilometer long, rushing forward, occasionally touching the ground with their six pairs of limbs.
For such massive creatures to move in groups, from a biological standpoint, it meant either these creatures had a strong social nature, or the energy level of this world was extremely low.
Fang Mu felt no elemental energy fluctuations coming from these creatures.
Creatures that relied solely on brute force had little potential for development.
Moreover, the armored scorpions had hundreds of scorpion eggs on their backs.
Each of these eggs was much bigger than an adult human.
Penetrated by the faint light, one could vaguely see young scorpions slowly moving inside.
