A mob of clones

Chapter 708 Fang Yuan: Failure is not enough to make you a hero, walk with your chest held high and proud
Before the real battle began, everyone felt that I had the advantage.

However, when the real battle began, they realized that there was a huge difference between the fifth level and the fifth level...

……

The Gu Masters below were still holding their breath, looking at the raging storm ahead, gathering their strength, and waiting for the outcome of the confrontation.

But at this time, pieces of dark rubble fell from the sky and hit some people's feet.

The people who noticed the movement raised their heads slightly, with a look of expectation in their eyes.

"Is it done?! The mountain has been blown apart and all the rubble has fallen down?!"

However, the beautiful fantasies in the hearts of these people completely disappeared the moment a complete corpse fell from the sky and turned into a bloody mud in front of them.

Looking at the horrible corpse in front of them, someone familiar at the scene recognized the identity of the corpse almost at a glance and exclaimed at the same time.

"This~this is the fifth rank Gu Master of the Yu family's Patriarch!"

"I thought he just didn't come, but I didn't expect him to be hiding in the dark!"

"He's dead, why did he die? Who killed him?!"

Exclamations and questions arose. Even though they were facing a powerful enemy, the surrounding Gu Masters could not help but be alert to their surroundings, and to the unfamiliar people around them.

After all, it is a loose alliance gathered for profit.

There is no such thing as discipline or obedience.

In just a moment, people's hearts suddenly began to waver.

And the next moment, people's hearts were even more unstable.

For the storm that had risen toward the sky had vanished, but the mountains were still standing.

Also standing there was the young figure.

"wrong answer!"

Li Feile slowly opened his arms, and the bright sunlight in the sky shone on him, making his body look like a god.

"I don't want to disappoint your enthusiasm."

"But since you have all chosen this, then I would like to invite you all to gather at Danghun Mountain!"

Li Feile did not do anything unnecessary. He just stretched out his hand and waved it downwards. In an instant, countless large bulges appeared on the ground below.

The big bag appeared very quickly, taking shape in just the blink of an eye.

And in the next moment it turned into a stone pillar and surged out from the ground.

Countless Gu Masters had no time to dodge and were smashed into the sky by the rock pillars.

The unlucky ones were even hit directly in the abdomen and lost their voice instantly.

Even those who were relatively lucky were not much better off. They were directly taken to a height of one hundred meters. After being thrown in a parabola in the air, they were killed again by the stone pillars that rose from the ground.

Even those who were lucky enough not to die had sustained serious injuries, and most of them were too weak to fight again.

Basically, flying is not a problem for those who have reached the fifth level of strength. The same is true for the top fourth-level masters, as well as some third-level masters who are proficient in this.

Therefore, most of these Gu Masters did not suffer any serious injuries, but they were also extremely frightened when they saw the bloody scene below.

However, they were in the air, far away from the ground, and they felt a little relieved. They cheered up the people around them:

"Don't worry that the Earth Path Gu worm won't be able to exert its full combat power in the sky."

"If he still wants to stop us, we have to fight on the ground. If he hides in the soil, we can just disperse and look for opportunities."

"No matter how powerful he is, can he control both the sky and the ground?!"

As soon as these words came out, they instantly won the approval of many people around them...

But as soon as they finished their words, the ground in front of them began to ripple again.

The huge mountains and stone forests before their eyes suddenly vibrated at a frequency visible to the naked eye.

Without waiting for anyone to react, a huge head suddenly lifted itself up from the ground and looked up at the sky.

Before everyone could be surprised, an arm tore through the ground without warning and crawled out from the ground.

Then the shoulders, chest, abdomen, and even the entire torso.

In just a moment, a huge giant nearly a thousand meters long stood on the ground, raised his arms and slapped them quickly.

Looking at the mountain crashing towards them, everyone present had never seen such a shocking scene before and they retreated one after another, flying to a higher place again.

But what they didn't notice was that behind them, above the sun that was spraying light and heat onto all things in the world, an arm was slowly reaching out.

A huge giant of light also stretched out his hand towards them...

……

The intersection between the sky and the ground was like a mythical scene from the Renaissance Genesis, but Fang Yuan did not stop to watch.

Because before he came in, he clearly understood that although there were many people in front of him, the probability of really defeating the Li father and son was not high.

The moment he entered the blessed land, he unfolded his strength cultivation, received a summons from the earth spirits, and was teleported to a place different from everyone else.

Fang Yuan looked at the dark blue hall in front of him.

And the Earth Spirit Turtle in the hall let out a long breath.

"After spending so much time and energy, I am finally standing here again..."

His eyes closed slightly, then opened again, an indescribable brilliance bursting out of his dark pupils as he looked at the earth spirit in front of him.

The Earth Spirit Tyrant Turtle in front was about to say something, but when he noticed Fang Yuan's eyes, he was stunned.

"you know me?"

Fang Yuan nodded slightly in response.

"Yes!"

"And you're not the only one I know! I know the secrets of this blessed land as well!"

"This blessed land originated from a powerful Gu Immortal in ancient times. The Gu Immortal protected the blessed land and fought against natural disasters and calamities, but he eventually died in a catastrophe. His obsession after his death combined with the great power of heaven and earth in this blessed land to form a land spirit. That is you - Tyrant Turtle."

"As long as I fulfill his dying wish, I can become the new owner of this blessed land. Am I right?"

"And the specific content of this test is to refine the second Kongqiao Gu, right?!"

Although the Earth Spirit was transformed from a Gu Immortal, it is no longer a human being, but a simple obsession. Although it can think independently, it is like the intelligent machines in Earth's science fiction movies. Some fundamental programming rules will never change.

For the Earth Spirit Overlord Turtle in front of him, knowing the root process is to practice the second Kongqiao Gu.

Whoever succeeds will be his master.

It was precisely because of this that Fang Yuan had the confidence to come here despite the pressure from the Li family father and son.

The earth spirit is simple and stubborn. Before recognizing its master, it inherits the obsession of the original owner. After recognizing its master, it obeys the master's orders.

As long as the earth spirit can recognize its master, let alone the Li family father and son, even if it is a real Gu Immortal, as long as there is his order, the earth spirit will choose to fight hard.

And if there really is a Gu Immortal attacking, even if the earth spirit is exhausted, it will choose to self-destruct, causing the blessed land to collapse.

The Gu Immortal who attacks forcefully will also be injured in vain, suffer heavy losses, and gain nothing, which is a waste of effort.

Even Fang Yuan couldn't help but feel excited when he thought that he could obtain the second Kongqiao Gu and expel all the people from the Li family and the outside world.

At this moment, he is only one step away from success!
but……

"Sorry you're late..."

Hearing the words of the Earth Spirit Tyrant Turtle in front of him, Fang Yuan was slightly startled, and his fluctuating emotions instantly calmed down. He lowered his head and looked at the big turtle in front of him.

"What do you mean?!"

In response, Di Ling was about to say something, but the next moment his mouth was closed again.

At this moment, another long voice rang in Fang Yuan's ears.

"It means literally, you are late."

Hearing this sudden voice beside his ear, Fang Yuan's brain froze for a moment.

But he reacted the next moment and punched himself in the side.

A huge beast shadow rushed out from his fist and smashed heavily on the huge bronze palace, creating a huge deep hole in the palace wall.

Looking at the huge hole in front of him that he had dug with his own hands, Fang Yuan widened his eyes.

“No one?!”

"No, there are still people there."

"Those idiots outside must have been attracted by your design."

"The fourth-rank Gu Masters are the soldiers, and the fifth-rank Gu Masters are the generals. When the wind and clouds are in turmoil, I will control the world with my own hands."

"Yes, your line is very domineering, I appreciate it."

The sound was still ringing in his ears. Fang Yuan raised his leg and kicked hard, causing a sonic boom in the air, but he still missed. He was confused for a moment. "Who is it?!"

Like a low growl from deep in his throat, Fang Yuan's muttering was very soft, but the answer came just as quickly.

And this time Fang Yuan indeed felt the man's location.

Because the other person had already leaned his entire body directly on his back, using his head as a pillow and leaning back slightly.

"It's me~, what? Can't you see me?"

"Your strength should not be limited to this, right?"

"Try your best. If you are strong enough, I wouldn't mind talking to you."

The frivolous voice entered Fang Yuan's heart, and a strong feeling of discomfort surged into his heart.

But at this moment, Fang Yuan calmed down. He paused for a moment, then suddenly burst out with extremely terrifying power and swung it behind him.

All the powerful poisonous insects in the body burst out at this moment, and all the poisonous insects were mobilized with full strength at this moment and suddenly burst out violently.

At this moment, Fang Yuan only felt that the time around him seemed to slow down, and the strength in his body seemed to be more abundant than ever before, and his overall condition was better than ever before.

At close range, Fang Yuan concluded that even if the person standing behind him was a rank 5 Strength Gu Master, he had the confidence to severely injure the opponent with one punch.

At this critical moment, he inadvertently created a powerful killing move!
"Boom~"

A punch that was powerful enough to shake a mountain was thrown down hard, and a terrifying shock wave spread in all directions.

Even the floor of the bronze palace began to crack under the impact of this force, and the surrounding buildings continued to shake.

The aftermath alone made the surrounding environment feel like an earthquake, which showed the power of this move.

but……

"Not bad, but it's useless~"

Looking at the young man in front of him who blocked all of his strength with one hand, Fang Yuan widened his eyes, full of disbelief.

Li Qiankun looked at the young man in front of him with an incredible look on his face, smiled, and said jokingly:

"Really? It looks incredible, doesn't it?"

Seeing Li Qiankun in front of him, Fang Yuan's eyes were filled with shock, and he quickly pulled back.

But just after taking half a step back, he realized his own problem. He raised his hands in front of him, his eyes full of fear.

Looking at Fang Yuan who was in front of him with eyes full of shock and confusion, Li Qiankun slowly walked forward, and looked at Fang Yuan who was retreating as he moved forward, and spoke one sentence at a time:

"Are you curious about why your power disappeared?"

"To be honest, after I decided to give up the Fox Fairy Land in Zhongzhou and came to this place of inheritance, obtained the recipe for the so-called second hollow acupoint Gu, and started to study it, I was also very curious about this question."

"What is force?"

Looking at Fang Yuan who was cornered by him, with his back pressed against the bronze wall, Li Qiankun obviously had no intention of stopping and continued to talk:
"I once invented a poisonous insect called the Heart Light Poison, and created a poisonous array called the Soul Light Array."

“In the process of creation, I discovered that the essence of human beings is a ball of human energy.”

"And the process of a Gu Master's transformation from rank 1 to rank 5 is a process of accumulating popularity."

"No matter which path he takes or what kind of poison he uses, it is only to increase his popularity and engrave the corresponding Dao mark in his popularity."

“There’s no difference in strength.”

"So I just need to wash away the Dao marks on your body and naturally take away your power."

"You clearly do have this power, and your body clearly was once strong, but I can completely wash away your power without changing your body at all."

"It seems that something is setting the popularity of the human body. When there is no power of Dao Mark, it can only be like this."

“The human body is amazing, isn’t it?”

Hearing Li Qiankun's words, Fang Yuan was confused.

It’s not that Fang Yuan couldn’t understand what the other party was saying.

Those who can become Gu Immortals also basically understand things like popularity, earth energy, weather, and Dao marks.

But a person is just a bunch of human aura? How is this possible? As a blood path Gu Immortal in his previous life, he knew the human body very well. Human aura is indeed an important component of the human body, but how can it be purely composed of human qi?

There is also this method of washing away the Dao marks on someone's body in an instant, and there is also the setting of the human body, what kind of mess is this? !
But before Fang Yuan could open his mouth to ask anything else, the next moment, a sleeve of robe grew bigger and bigger in front of his eyes.

A strong sense of crisis surged into his heart, causing him to concentrate all his strength into the Spring and Autumn Zen in his body, causing his body to self-destruct instantly.

But even so, his head was not spared from being beaten into a pulp by the back sleeves of his robe.

Fortunately, his consciousness and soul had already entered the Spring and Autumn Cicada in the previous moment.

And time also freezes at this moment, looking back...

Week 6, End...

……

Recalling his failure in climbing Sanwang Mountain for the second time, even Fang Yuan couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Who could have expected that the other party would suddenly attack him while they were joking? If he hadn't been prepared in advance, he would have really died there.

That was also his most thrilling time traveling back in time.

After knowing that Li Qiankun was also on Sanwang Mountain, Fang Yuan actually no longer held out much hope.

But the unwillingness in his heart made him make one last attempt.

In this attempt, he completely let himself go and really did everything he could.

In the end, it even caused the Gu Immortal to come out of the mountain and send troops to Sanwang Mountain.

But the Gu Immortal easily defeated Li Bo who was guarding the gate.

Fight with the Li father and son.

But in the end, when he saw Li Qiankun pinching the Gu Immortal's neck and carrying him out of the blessed land like a chicken, and then looking at him, Fang Yuan knew that his last struggle had failed.

……

Thinking back on my series of failures.

Thinking back to the cost of his silence that was about to go to waste, Fang Yuan did feel sad and unwilling at first.

But as his mind gradually calmed down, he regained his composure from these worldly thoughts.

Who dares to claim to be invincible? Who claims to be undefeated?

Even the immortals and demons in historical legends had their plans fail sometimes.

In the past five hundred years of his life, hadn't Fang Yuan failed before?

To put it bluntly, the word "failure" has always been around Fang Yuan in the past five hundred years.

He failed in the family and was kicked out by his younger brother and the clan members.

He failed when it came to his benefactor, and watched his benefactor die while he was powerless to do anything.

He failed in business and his assets were taken away by a powerful Gu Master.

When he met the lover he wanted to spend his whole life with, he did not have the strength to protect her, which led to her death.

He failed in the Path of Blood and attempted to refine the Blood God Son, but ultimately failed.

But did all these failures prevent him from becoming the top Six Path Gu Master who dominated the world? No.

Even in terms of being a Gu Immortal, he still failed.

In order to refine the Spring and Autumn Cicada, he slaughtered hundreds of thousands of lives, which angered the Divine Dynasty. Strong men chased him and eventually he was on the verge of death.

But do all these failures hinder him from pursuing eternal life now?
No! None at all!

Compared with past failures, what are these now?
It's just that the path to progress is a little slower.

He planned to go to Sanwang Mountain first, not for the inheritance of the three kings there, but more for the second Kongqiao Gu.

He once reached the peak of the sixth rank of Gu Immortal with only a Class C talent, and was the best among all the heroes.

Today, his talent has reached 90%, and he has already reached the peak of the fourth level while he is only in his early twenties. He has no shortage of fifth-level inheritance and Gu Immortal opportunities.

So what if it's just a few years of sunk costs? It's just some mundane stuff.

What if we fail a few times? It's just a little trouble!
Looking at the open door of the mall in front of him, Fang Yuan raised his head, his eyes like the abyss looked at the whole world, and chanted slowly:
"Five hundred years passed as fast as the wind, and three thousand suns and moons vanished in an instant."

"I am filled with regrets but my ambitions are not exhausted. Life is like a floating catkin, drifting east and west."

"Dead but determined, the devil stands firm in the sky without regrets."

"Failure is not enough to make you a hero. Walk with your chest held high and you will be as proud as a dragon."

He did not look back, but raised his hands and took a step forward, his whole body slowly moving forward towards the rising sun.
