Fang Yuan began her plan. First, she used an Aura Concealment Killer Move to completely erase any trace of her Rank 6 Gu Immortal presence. She couldn't enter the Imperial Blessed Land while radiating an immortal aura, as it would immediately detect her. However, she had already prepared a countermeasure—one she had learned from her future memories.
Using this method, she sealed her immortal aperture, extracted her immortal beads, and stored them within her mortal aperture—her Second Aperture. This allowed her to operate as a mortal, bypassing any detection methods the Imperial Blessed Land might have. Once everything was set, she activated Fixed Immortal Travel Gu, consuming one of her immortal beads. Since the Gu had already been fed an immortal bead in advance, it had enough energy to function for an extended period.
She teleported to a lake near Lang Ya Blessed Land. While she could have directly entered Lang Ya Blessed Land, doing so would have been considered offensive and could have led to unnecessary conflict. Instead, she chose a different approach—accessing the inheritance left behind by Chaos Demon Venerable, which would provide her an alternate means of entry.
She immediately arrived at the location, just ten meters away from the lake. At the site, there was a small rock resembling a seat, flanked by two supporting stones on either side. Behind this seat-like formation stood another larger rock, giving the entire arrangement the distinct appearance of a natural stone throne.
But for some reason the appearence of it looking like a throne only felt when the rock was touched, before she touched it looked like something weird rock with a normal small rock. "Illusion path.."
She instantly felt her soul forcefully leaving her body, and as it did, her soul itself transformed into a woman. Panic surged through her as she instinctively tried to pull it back, but no matter how hard she tried, it was futile. Her soul and body were bound to the chair, and before she could resist further, she felt herself being teleported away.
In an instant, the environment around her changed drastically.
The air was thick with the aroma of alchemy furnaces, their faint smoke curling into the air. Dragon pillars lined the grand chamber, golden curtains swayed gently, and crane lanterns cast a mystical glow across vermillion windows.
At the center of the room, a sagely old man sat cross-legged on a bed of clouds, his presence exuding an ancient and unshakable wisdom. His eyes remained closed, as though deeply immersed in meditation.
He was thin but not frail, his long white hair flowing down his back, and a beard reaching his chest. His face was ruddy like a newborn's, yet carried an air of profound age. He wore wide robes, the sleeves fluttering gently despite the stillness in the room.
Fang Yuan adjusted her stance before placing her right hand over her chest and slightly bowing. "Demon Venerable's inheritor, Fang Yuan, pays her respects."
The old man's eyes cracked open, and at that moment, his gaze flashed with an intense, almost tangible light. His piercing stare locked onto Fang Yuan, scrutinizing her very existence.
"So, you have finally come. I have been waiting for you for a long time," he said slowly, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable weight.
"It is just as my original body foresaw in a dream—information granted to me by Chaos Demon Venerable, my master. To think that a mere change in outer appearance could result in such a profound qualitative transformation of one's soul..." He paused before continuing, his expression unwavering.
"But now that you are here, my mission of waiting for you is over. This Blessed Land is yours," he declared, extending his hand. In an instant, the ownership of the Blessed Land was transferred to Fang Yuan, catching her completely off guard.
For a moment, she stood still, taken aback. She had expected to overcome trials, navigate complexities, and manipulate situations to achieve her goal. Instead, it had been handed over effortlessly. This was far too simple.
Furthermore, she hadn't anticipated that this Refinement Path Supreme Grandmaster was actually a subordinate of Chaos Demon Venerable. Why was he entrusting her with so many valuable things for free?
However, Fang Yuan was no fool. Her mind instantly turned sharp, her wariness increasing. Nothing in this world was ever free. If something was given easily, it meant that there was always a hidden cost becasue there is no such thing as free food.
"Are you truly giving me this Blessed Land with no conditions? Do you not have any desires of your own?" Fang Yuan questioned, despite feeling relieved that the land was now hers. However, she needed to understand the depth of this man's loyalty to his master, Chaos Demon Venerable.
"Of course, what do you think I gave it to you for? My only wish was to entrust this Blessed Land to you. It was also my master's wish, and if it is his wish, then it is mine as well."
Fang Yuan's eyes narrowed. Chaos Demon Venerable's wish? That could mean many things. Was she merely following a path already laid out for her? Was this inheritance a gift, or a shackle?
She took a step forward, her voice steady yet piercing. "Then tell me fully what you know about Chaos Demon Venerable?"

Sorry guys, I was busy catching up with someone on Lotm, which caused me to focus on that. Now that I'm almost caught up, I have time to write a chapter, so I wrote it. The story will speed up quickly like this until the Limitless Demon Awakening, and then it will return to a normal pace.
