My cultivation level increases by one year every day!

First, the head of the Wang family, Wang Jingtang, knelt in front of the Fang family's gate, causing a stir among all parties, who speculated about the reason.

Then news came from the Wang family that they had completely submitted to the Fang family, releasing this bombshell news.

The waves surged higher and higher, their speed and the shock of the news leaving all the major powers in the county city dumbfounded.

Those who don't know the inside story and only look at the surface will find it quite despicable.

As two of the three great families, how dare your Wang family act like a dog now?

Of course, these are the thoughts of most ordinary cultivators; they do not know the terrifying power of a Golden Core True Monarch.

Even being a dog requires being qualified!

"Wang Jingtang really has guts!"

Such a prominent family with a rich history will become an appendage of the Fang family and a thing of the past, which inevitably makes important figures sigh.

"Elder, you should still take charge of subduing the Wang family, assessing resources, and coordinating the relationship between the two families."

Fang Zhongwu changed the arrangements at the last minute, saying, "The Second Elder is in charge of recruiting new disciples and guest elders who have come to join us."

Although it may seem like a change in task allocation, the two are of completely different importance.

The former means having greater power!

Many members of the Grand Elder's faction sensed something unusual.

After Fang Zhongwu made a series of arrangements, many elders had to get busy and left one after another, leaving only Fang Yuan behind.

"I could actually eliminate the Wang family and avenge you," Fang Zhongwu said.

Fang Yuan shook his head, showing no resentment, and said, "The Wang family is just a pawn; it doesn't matter whether we keep them or throw them away."

"On the contrary, once a full-scale war breaks out, it will inevitably cause casualties among the disciples, and Father will also have to pay the price."

Fang Zhongwu said with a smile, "You overestimate the Wang family and underestimate the strength of Golden Core cultivators."

"The Wang family is not like Tingxuelou. Their status as a family is what it is. If I were to go on a killing spree, they wouldn't be able to hold out for long."

"Even if Wang Jingtang were to wield a magical treasure, he wouldn't last more than a few moves."

Fang Yuan was slightly startled.

He thought he had overestimated the strength of the Golden Core Realm, but he didn't expect that he had underestimated it!

"Is it true that a Golden Core cultivator can easily destroy a city?" Fang Yuan asked curiously.

Fang Zhongwu nodded, then shook his head, and explained:

"It depends on the person and the size of the city. Most Golden Core cultivators would find it difficult to overthrow a city like a prefecture. Moreover, destroying a city and its surroundings consumes too much true essence. One would need to cultivate great supernatural powers to do it. Even ordinary True Monarchs would not do such a thing."

"Can Father do it?" Fang Yuan grasped the key point.

Fang Zhongwu pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's not a big problem."

hiss!

Fang Zhongwu himself admitted that the Golden Core Realm was completely different from the rumors circulating outside.

"If you don't like the Wang family, I'll wipe them out right now?" Fang Zhongwu said half-jokingly.

Fang Yuan rolled his eyes. He was a kind person and didn't like to commit too many killings.

"Within the Hundred Kingdoms, there is no explicit rule that Golden Core cultivators cannot act arbitrarily in secular dynasties, but everyone follows it," Fang Zhongwu said. "The destructive power that Golden Core cultivators can cause is too great, and it is easy to harm innocent people."

Fang Yuan nodded in agreement.

He has now reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and his strength is far beyond that of the Innate Realm. He can easily destroy large areas of houses by using his True Essence.

"However, no matter how strong an individual's power is, it is still limited. One cannot do everything personally, big or small."

Fang Zhongwu said, "If we make good use of the Wang family, they will become a great help in our efforts to overthrow Tingxuelou."

"What if Wang Jingtang agrees on the surface, but the Wang family goes against his word?" Fang Yuan asked.

Fang Zhongwu disagreed, saying, "I have already cast the Demon Seed Technique on Wang Jingtang. He is absolutely loyal and can take his life at any time."

"Unless one day his strength surpasses mine."

Fang Yuan's eyes flickered slightly; he was surprised to find such a powerful forbidden technique.

"With your talent, cultivation won't be difficult for you."

Fang Zhongwu could naturally see the longing in his son's eyes and smiled.

"However, the Demon Seed Technique can only be used nine times, and there is a limit to the number of times it can be used. It will only be available if the person being targeted dies."

Fang Yuan nodded slightly, thinking that when he became powerful in the future, he would have the holy sons and daughters of the major sects of the Demon Clan as his slaves and servants, which would be very enjoyable.

wrong.

How could I have such a thought?

Fang Yuan suppressed his smile and expressed his desire to go to Luowu Mountain for training to Fang Zhongwu.

"Your control over your own strength is indeed not good enough right now. True strongmen are those who have fought their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood."

Fang Zhongwu was very satisfied with Fang Yuan's idea, but reminded him to be careful of the assassins from Tingxuelou.

……

The Luowu Mountains stretch for a long time, traversing several prefectures, and many powerful demonic beasts lurk within them.

Many hunters rely on the monsters on Luowu Mountain for a living, hunting mostly low-level monsters below the Acquired Realm, which they then sell to restaurants for a good price.

"You're so young, yet you're out hunting monsters!"

A seasoned hunter with sharp eyes chuckled, "This young master must come from a prominent family."

Although Fang Yuan changed into a smart and capable outfit before leaving, his demeanor still exuded an otherworldly aura.

"Are you all alone? No elders with you?" a hunter asked in surprise.

He estimated that Fang Yuan was no more than twenty years old, younger than his son. Even if he came from a good family, he was at most at the Acquired Realm.

Such strength is still quite dangerous in the Misty Mountains.

"It's alright, I'll just stay on the outskirts and see what's going on. If I can't win, I'll just leave."

Fang Yuan happened to run into this group of hunters on his way up the mountain. They hit it off and chatted for a bit.

The experienced hunter gave a thumbs-up and nodded, saying, "That's the best way to think about it."

"Alas, you don't know, some geniuses are just too arrogant, and they lose their lives for no reason."

Fang Yuan nodded slightly, looking very pleased with what he had learned.

"Then you mustn't go to the mountains to the west. It gets really foggy there as night falls."

"Yes, several demon-hunting teams have already perished in the thick fog, leaving no trace, not even bones. It's tragic!"

The Luowu Mountains are named for the fact that they are often shrouded in thick fog.

Especially deep in the mountains, the fog is so thick that you can't see your hand in front of your face, and it can even block out divine sense. Even Foundation Establishment cultivators dare not enter without permission.

"Young man, if you want to gain experience, I suggest you go to the southeast," the experienced hunter kindly advised.

These words immediately displeased the other hunters traveling with him, and some even coughed deliberately to remind them.

"Are you afraid someone will steal our prey?"

The seasoned hunter took a swig of wine, glanced sideways at the group behind him, and dismissed their concerns.

"Young man, please don't be offended. Hunting has indeed been a tough business lately."

"To the west of Falling Mist Mountain, the dense fog is showing signs of spreading, and to the northeast, a powerful monster has appeared."

"Most hunters now hunt in a region in the southeast."

Fang Yuan already knew these details before leaving home, and even more so, but he still clasped his hands in thanks.

Fang Yuan's goal for this trip was the powerful demonic beast that had appeared on the outskirts of Luowu Mountain in the northeast direction.

He already had a general understanding of the demonic beast; its strength had only recently broken through to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment, making it an excellent target for practice.

When others give me a plum, I will return a peach.

Before leaving, Fang Yuan specially took a screenshot of a map of the southeastern region, marking the areas where monsters often appeared and their range of strength, and gave it to the experienced hunter.

"Only a powerful family in the county town could have such clear markings..."

The importance of a detailed map to a hunter is self-evident; it can be a lifesaver in crucial moments!

He stared blankly in the direction Fang Yuan had left, then bowed deeply in respect...
