RI: The One and Only Great Love (Old Version)

Fang Yuan looked at Wang Xiao, thinking of his background.

Wang Xiao was a Poison Path Rank 5 Upper Stage Gu Master from the Southern Border. He was a demonic path cultivator.

Wang Xiao knew the only path that could lead to Wu Mountain.

The mountain was shrouded in mystery, hidden behind a deep layer of fog. Many small paths lay within the mist, but only one led to the heart of the mountain. Wang Xiao knew this path, and because of it, he had made the mountain's resources his own. In a way, Wu Mountain was completely under his control.

From his experience reading Reverend Insanity, Fang Yuan knew that Wang Xiao wouldn't reveal the path, and even if he did, Fang Yuan had no intention of going there anymore.

"...!" Fang Yuan's eyes sharpened. With a swift press of his foot, Wang Xiao's head was crushed beneath him.

In Fang Yuan's current plan, Wang Xiao had no further value.

A pity for Wang Xiao—he died so pathetically at Fang Yuan's hands again.

"It's strange—I didn't feel anything after I killed him..."

"But now isn't time to think of it, it's time to move on to the next step."

"A.I. Chip! Simulate the best way for me to get the most benefits from my memories and the stored memories. —Then import the data important for the plan, along with memories from this life."

[Beep! Mission established. Beginning simulation of all possible scenarios... . . . Mission completed. Importing data——]

The A.I. Chip's mechanical voice filled Fang Yuan's mind, and the result was soon presented to him.

Suddenly intense, searing pain erupted in Fang Yuan's head, so overwhelming that he stumbled, nearly losing his footing. It felt as though his skull was being split open, his mind drowning in a flood of incomprehensible information. Just as the pain peaked, threatening to consume him entirely, a mysterious power enveloped him, dulling the agony to a manageable level. His thoughts, once scattered, began to clear.

"A.I. Chip! What just happened?" Fang Yuan asked, frowning.

[The amount of information was too vast to be safely absorbed by the host.]

[… Heaven's Will intervened at the critical moment, seeking to verify the host's memories. However, the A.I. Chip automatically activated its protection protocol, shielding the host's secrets.]

Fang Yuan calmed himself, thinking, "My third wish was definitely worth it."

"Heaven's Will is impartial—helping me was its way of compensating for trying to check my memories."

Yet, his calm exterior belied the storm brewing within. "It may be my biggest backer now, but sooner or later, it will turn on me."

Fang Yuan's survival instincts, honed over centuries, flared in response to the looming danger. He knew Heaven's Will wasn't a force he could take lightly. It would remain useful, for now, but the time would come when its cold, calculating gaze would fall on him —with deadly intent.

"A.I. Chip, have you recorded the processes earlier?"

[Beep! Recording complete. Please provide a name!]

"Heaven's Will Data."

[Beep! The naming is complete. Storing in data bank...]

With this new resource at his disposal, Fang Yuan realized the gravity of the advantage he now possessed. Not only was he shielded from Heaven's Will, but with the A.I. Chip, he also had the ability to study it—to analyze and understand it in ways that no one ever could.

His thoughts shifted to his newly enhanced comprehension ability, one bolstered by the A.I. Chip. Fang Yuan smirked. "Now, I possess one of the best comprehension abilities in history."

This edge would serve him well. Fang Yuan was no stranger to danger, betrayal, or cosmic forces acting against him. But with the A.I. Chip by his side, he knew that even Heaven's Will would not be his undoing.

In the darkness of his mind, Fang Yuan's laugh echoed—a cold, calculating sound, filled with purpose.

"Now I can begin the plan."

Fang Yuan took out the Beast Strength Placenta Gu.

Beast Strength Placenta Gu allows a Gu Master to plunder other people's apertures. But more importantly, it is used to increase the aperture and success rate when refining the Second Aperture Gu. The better the aperture that is absorbed, and the more numerous they are, the higher the aptitude of the Second Aperture Gu that is refined.

Fang Yuan used this Gu to devour Wang Xiao and Yun Luo Tian's apertures.

"Ba Gui Land Spirit, you want me to stop?" Fang Yuan suddenly said.

Ba Gui Land Spirit was a huge tortoise, large as a house, with a thick, jade shell on its back. Its four legs were like those of an elephant, and two dragon whiskers grew from its face.

The Land Spirit replied, "Eh? How did you know my thoughts?"

Fang Yuan snorted, leaking the Spring Autumn Cicada's aura. "Feel this. What do you think it is?"

The Land Spirit was speechless and shocked!

"This, this is the aura of a Rank Six Immortal Gu! It seems… it seems to be the Spring Autumn Cicada… Spring Autumn Cicada is one of the seven mysterious Gu in this world! You are a mere mortal—how can you possess such an Immortal Gu?"

Fang Yuan went straight to the point. "Ba Gui, I won't lie to you. I am from the future. I am a future Gu Immortal, using the Spring Autumn Cicada to rebirth myself into the past."

The Land Spirit was stunned; the information was too much for it to process immediately.

Fang Yuan's expression was arrogant. "I came back from the future. I know everything. Ba Gui, I am your next master. I succeeded in refining the Second Aperture Gu in my previous life…"

With the memories of refining the Second Aperture Gu that he had just imported, Fang Yuan easily convinced the Land Spirit.

"You really are my future master? Regardless of whether you're lying, I am exhilarated because this means the success rate of the Second Aperture Gu has been raised by thirty percent!" The Land Spirit said happily.

"Ba Gui, I came from the future. I know the dangers that are lurking. I need you to follow my instructions from now on."

"Okay, I will help you as much as I can," the Land Spirit replied.

…

The first thing Fang Yuan did was also to kill Long Qing Tian.

"Young man, I am starting to believe you. You killed a dangerous threat prematurely. Sigh, the Three Kings modified the blessed land. My control over it is weak. You sensed this danger and have the Spring Autumn Cicada—you truly must be from the future," the Land Spirit exclaimed.

The Land Spirit was old and dying. It was like a frail old man, no longer strong like a young land spirit. For example, it couldn't even detect the Fixed Star Gu on Fang Yuan's arm.

Fang Yuan did not waste time with the Land Spirit. He worked quickly, taking Long Qing Tian's Gu worms and devouring his aperture.

Fang Yuan gained several valuable items. Apart from the aperture, he got the Rank 5 Jade Sky Gu from the immemorial era, which was extremely rare now.

The reason for killing Long Qing Tian apart from his threat in the future was this GU.

His greatest loot and first step of his plan was The Jade Sky Gu itself—one of the refinement materials for the Fixed Immortal Travel Gu.
