Chapter 171: Chapter 2503 Hei Lou Lan Embarks On The True Essence of Strength Path
Heaven sat on his throne, deep in thought.
"Even though I have an abundance of resources, I lack the Immortal Essence to make use of them."
Spectral Heaven was littered with Resources, not to mention all the natural resources that came from combining White Heaven with Black Heaven, just the abundance of Dao Marks alone was considered a Resource!
Creating shadows of Daos also required Immortal Essence, even the ruler and creator of the world had to obey the laws of the Conservation of Energy.
At that moment a blue light flashed and a figure stood before him,
The figure was a sick palish blue, slits, like scars, was littered across his body.
Of course, it was none other than Spectra Soul Demon Venerable!
"Oh?" Heaven raised his eyebrow, "You're back early than expected, I was sure you would try and start a deal with Fang Yuan to reclaim your body, did the talks fall through already?"
Spectral Soul scoffed, "I'd get ready for a fight if I were you, Fang Yuan just threatened to invade Spectral heaven and he was confident in taking both of us down."
Though Spectral Soul conveyed Fang Yuan's intent with no urgency or worry his tone was mocking and pissed.
"HAHAHA," Heaven laughed with a resounding voice, "That's the funniest bluff I've ever heard him say."
Spectral Soul still had a scowl on his face.
Heaven wiped a tear from his eye, "Can you imagine if he-"
At that moment the entire Spectral Heaven began to rumble,
!!!
"What's happening!" Spectral Soul and Heaven shouted in unison.
They were both inextricably linked to Spectral Heaven and could instantly figure out the source of the shaking.
"It's coming from the Eastern Sea side!" suddenly both Spectral Soul and Heaven had a bad feeling.
As they teleported to the Eastern Sea side of Spectral Heaven they were both astounded by what they saw.
"This…this should be impossible!"

Earlier,
Back in the Central Continent,
After their brief exchange, Spectral Soul returned to Spectral Heaven,
Fang Yuan instantly began heading towards the Eastern Sea.
"Are you giving up just like that?" Red Lotus confronted Fang Yuan, though all he received in return was his side-eye glance, and even that sent chills down his spine.
Red Lotus shivered, "To think the gap between us has already reached this point." He thought to himself.
At that moment, Star Constellation and Giant Sun descended as well,
"What now?" she asked Fang Yuan, after all her skirmishes and battles with Fang Yaun she knew that Fang Yuan must have a crafty scheme to deal with Heaven and Spectral Soul.
"Do you need Earth as bait? I can help you convince her if that's what you-"
Fang Yuan cut her short, "Won't be necessary."
"I see, then do you need assistance with-"
"Not necessary either."
Being cut off twice infuriated Star Constellation.
"Who does he think he is? I'm the greatest tactician this world has ever seen, granted I've been foiled at his hands many times but no one in this world would turn down my help!"
Star Constellation kept all this to herself, but seeing Fang Yuan's sly grin made Star Constellation feel as if her thoughts had been exposed.
"Then what are you going to do?" was what she said.
With a slick grin, Fang Yuan responded, "I'm going to bust down the front door, and I recommend you use this time recouping and rebuilding Heavenly Court."
Before he left he whispered into Star Constellation's ears, "If you move now you may be able to say a farewell to that guest in your basement before he leaves."
!!!
Star Constellation instantly went wide-eyed, "You!"
But before she could ask anymore Fang Yuan took off, leaving Red Lotus, Genesis Lotus, Giant Sun and Earth behind.
There was an awkward silence that was broken by Giant Sun,
"I shall make my move now friends," he cupped his hands and left with his descendants.
The Giant Sun faction had benefited slightly, despite being caught in the crossfires, they had gained Primordial Domain and a sliver of Chaos that Fang Yuan had left behind.
Though their losses were also heavy, losing Light Gu was certainly a big hit, but being able to gain another Rank 9 made up for it.
"We'll return to the Northern Plains, lick our wounds and count our spoils." Giant Sun was speaking to both Light Emperor and Hei Lou Lan.
Back in Longevity Heaven,
"Hei Lou Lan."
"Yes, ances-father." she corrected herself, still not used to both the word and the person it was being addressed to.
Giant Sun nodded, "You will enter a period of seclusion, to bring your Attainment level as high as it can go, I'm not going to lie to you, this Primordial Domain is going to yours, you will be the 3rd Venerable of the Northern Plains."
!!!
Hei Lou Lan was ecstatic, "As you wish lord Father but what about-"
Light Emperor, weakly, cut her off, "It's okay sis, you are more worthy for the position than me, if it was before when I still possessed Light Gu, then some argument can be made, but now…it is better for the clan that I concede to you the honour of being our 2nd Hong Jin Venerable and 3rd Northern Plain Venerable."
"My son…" Giant Sun felt incredibly bad for Light Emperor, he was the son that had accomplished the most but Luck was just not on his side, "I'll make it up to you in some way for now just rest."
Light Emperor nodded and returned to rest.
Hei Lou Lan also returned to her room to begin deep meditation on Strength Path, she had a long way to go before reaching Supreme Grandmaster but now the end was in sight.
"Soon…I'll catch up to you soon…and when I do!" indescribable urges began swelling up in Hei Lou Lan, who forcefully stopped all thoughts and concentrated only on Strength Path.
Hei Lou Lan caught herself 'fantasizing' once again, "Why does this keep happening!?!?"
Suddenly, a laughing sound resounded in her mind,
"Hahaha, your quite the stubborn one aren't you."
!!!
"Who's that!" Hei Lou Lan, lept up from the floor, her paranoid nature was the only good thing she picked up from Fang Yuan.
"Hahaha, calm down lass," the voice spoke, Hei Lou Lan now managed to discern that the voice was coming from her head, "I'm the will left behind by Reckless Savage."
!!!
Hei Lou Lan was still sceptical but didn't let it show, she cupped her hands, "Greetings. Lord Reckless."
But all she heard in reply was a snort, "Kid, are you sure you want to embark on Strength Path? It's a man's path and you don't quite have the talent for it."
Hei Lou Lan was stunned but also felt insulted, but she held herself back, "What do you mean?"
"That." The will of Reckless pointed out, "That meek and reserved nature, I can tell that what you're thinking and feeling do not match the words you're saying. You have no talent in Strength Path!"
This time, for some reason, Hei Lou Lan couldn't hold it back in, "No talent? Ha! I've beaten just about everyone in my age group, and I've reached the level of a Quasi-Supreme! I have Great Strength True Martial Physique to ultimate physique for Strength Path!!!"
As soon as she finished, the will of Reckless took on an illusory form in Hei Lou Lan's room, he spread his aura out faintly so that Giant Sun could detect it.
Giant Sun knew why Reckless did it, so he could placate Hei Lou Lan's paranoid nature.
Indeed, Hei Lou Lan soon got word from Giant Sun that the will she was interacting with was indeed Reckless Savage.
"See," Reckless pointed, "That's your true nature, arrogance ingrained into the bones, a pride that refuses to yield, why do you keep your true self suppressed?"
"I-" Hei Lou Lan was stunned, she had never thought about it before.
"Let me ask you? What is the point of acquiring Strength? Is it so that you can hide? or Is it to remain a fearful coward?"
Hei Lou Lan's mind began to explode, she had always concealed her true nature, her intentions and her plans.
She was forced to be shrewd from a young age because her father harboured impure intentions against her.
And against Fang Yuan and Spectral Soul, she had to maintain a front not to be disposed of.
She had learned all her life that only with her Strength could she rise above, but now that she was acquiring this Strength, why did she still have to hide?
"I shall let you begin working toward a Path of true Strength!"
Meanwhile, in the Eastern Sea,
Fang Yuan had travelled to the extreme borders of the Eastern Sea before returning to the centre.
"Let the fun begin," he smirked to himself
