Reverend Insanitys Biography of Qitiab

Three hours later, after their conversation, Fang Yuan left the Soul Stirring Palace and, under the guidance of the Earth Spirit, settled near the Soul Stirring Mountain.

"Now I understand. After Qi Tian arrived in Central Continent, he received the inheritance from the elders of the Immortal Crane Sect, joined the sect, and later managed to seize the Fox Immortal Blessed Land. He rose to prominence in one leap."

"Anyone who becomes a Gu Immortal is never simple! Qi Tian is truly a famous Gu Immortal of great daring and ambition in later generations!" Fang Yuan frowned.

For a genius like Qi Tian, Fang Yuan saw him as a potential rival. If there was an opportunity to eliminate him beforehand, he wouldn't hesitate. Unfortunately, Qi Tian's power was already set, and there was no chance for that anymore.

Moreover, in his previous life as a mortal, Fang Yuan had received a part of Qi Tian's inheritance. The information from that inheritance, along with Qi Tian's autobiography, allowed Fang Yuan to understand him quite well.

"Qi Tian's past life involved seizing a mysterious Gu Immortal inheritance from the Immortal Crane Sect in the Misty Valley a century later. Although the details are unclear, he eventually made it out alive, spent many years in secluded cultivation, and ascended to immortality."

"Now, with my rebirth, the 'butterfly effect' took place. When I killed Jia Jinsheng, the Jia family's merchant team arrived early, and Qi Tian was among them. That's when everything began to change."

"Qi Tian obtained the Gu Immortal inheritance a century earlier in this life. If he continues to grow, he may surpass his past self!"

"Luckily, Qi Tian is currently facing massive external pressure and internal disasters. With internal and external troubles, my appearance has provided him with an opportunity to seek external help."

"However, the price for this help isn't small!"

It turned out that Qi Tian hadn't chosen a hardline approach to deal with Fang Yuan. Instead, he had guided Fang Yuan into cooperating with him.

Fang Yuan, relying on his understanding of Qi Tian, used his sharp tongue to engage in a conversation with him.

In his autobiography, Qi Tian fabricated a story about meeting the Purple Old Man before opening his aperture and receiving the inheritance. He even mentioned in the afterword that never seeing the Purple Old Man again was one of his greatest regrets.

Fang Yuan, comfortably accepting this, gave himself the title of "True Disciple of the Purple Mountain True Monarch" and, to make Qi Tian believe it, he even claimed that the Purple Mountain True Monarch had already realized that Qi Tian was a transmigrator.

In the end, Fang Yuan acknowledged Qi Tian as his senior brother, declaring that he would surpass him and become an Immortal before Qi Tian, reclaiming the position of senior brother.

Fang Yuan's strategy was to take advantage of Qi Tian's gratitude towards the Purple Mountain True Monarch and his large-hearted nature, as well as his arrogance, which made it easier for others to believe in his "identity."

Fang Yuan's tactics were indeed clever, and he understood the human heart very well.

If Qi Tian hadn't read Gu Realms, if Qi Tian hadn't reincarnated with Fang Yuan, and if his autobiography was entirely true...

Fang Yuan's heartfelt performance would have easily fooled Qi Tian.

Unfortunately, there were no "ifs" here. Everything was part of Qi Tian's plan to guide Fang Yuan.

When Qi Tian planned his own reincarnation, he used wisdom techniques to predict various possible outcomes and laid the groundwork for a future cooperation with Fang Yuan.

This was the power of the wisdom path!

The final result of their negotiation was this: Fang Yuan would help Qi Tian deal with the Earth Disaster, and in return, Qi Tian would provide cultivation resources for Fang Yuan. As a gesture of sincerity, Qi Tian would hold onto the Immortal Gu, Ding Xian You, as collateral.

Qi Tian sat in a golden fox-fur chair, playing with the Ding Xian You Immortal Gu in one hand and the Shen You Gu in the other.

"Even if you're the Old Demon Fang Yuan from five hundred years later, I know you inside out. My past life's accumulation is no less than yours, and now the situation is in my favor. Why should I worry about you escaping my grasp? Keeping you around will only maximize my benefits."

By keeping Fang Yuan, Qi Tian had his own considerations.

First, there was no chance to seize the Spring and Autumn Cicada. It was Fang Yuan's primary Gu, containing his Gu Immortal will, and was still within his aperture. Only the means of a Heavenly Demon could possibly steal it.

Secondly, Ding Xian You didn't contain any Gu Immortal will. Since Fang Yuan was a four-turn high-tier, he couldn't store it in his aperture. When Fang Yuan first arrived at the Fox Immortal Blessed Land, the Earth Spirit had temporarily suppressed it.

Although the Blessed Land couldn't imprison Immortal Gu, without the仙元 (immortal essence) to activate Ding Xian You, it couldn't be used or nourished by Fang Yuan. The Earth Spirit could suppress it easily.

As for the will of the Gu Master inside, Qi Tian could clear it with some effort.

Fang Yuan might have understood this, so he generously offered Ding Xian You as collateral.

This was a win-win situation. Firstly, it put Qi Tian in a favorable position in the cooperation, with the Immortal Gu as a clear sign of sincerity. Secondly, Fang Yuan couldn't use the Ding Xian You since he didn't have仙元. Thirdly, it was only collateral, which was better than Qi Tian greedily taking it by force.

Qi Tian would naturally be pleased to acquire Ding Xian You without effort. As for the collateral, who said he couldn't get it back later?

Besides the Immortal Gu, Qi Tian had plans for other Immortal Gu recipes and secret methods that Fang Yuan possessed. Even if he could only get some of them, Qi Tian didn't mind, as there weren't many things that would truly interest him.

Finally, Fang Yuan's greatest value was in himself. He was a master of Blood Dao, Slave Dao, Refining Dao, and Flight Dao. Even though he wasn't an expert in the Wisdom Path, he was highly skilled in calculations.

A person like this would be dangerous if left by his side, but Qi Tian couldn't discard the idea of working with him.

In the original story, Fang Yuan had been tempted by the cooperation offer from Dongfang Changfan after capturing his soul. However, Fang Yuan didn't dare to agree, fearing that he would be betrayed.

The reason was that Fang Yuan and Dongfang Changfan had no common external threats or interests, and there was a deep enmity between their families.

But now, the relationship between Qi Tian and Fang Yuan was different. The Fox Immortal Blessed Land was a mutual interest for both of them.

Dongfang Changfan had dealings with the Immortal Crane Sect and could sell Fang Yuan out to join them.

Fang Yuan, in order to prevent the Spring and Autumn Cicada from being exposed, would avoid Gu Immortals before ascending, and he preferred to cooperate with Qi Tian, who was still a mortal, rather than the Ten Great Ancient Sects.

At this stage, Qi Tian was the best possible partner for Fang Yuan. To protect himself, Fang Yuan would help Qi Tian bear some pressure and keep the Fox Immortal Blessed Land safe. Even though Fang Yuan harbored the idea of "ascending before Qi Tian and taking over his place," for now, Qi Tian had no fear of being betrayed. As for ascending, could Qi Tian really be left behind?

Of course, to solidify their cooperation, both of them created a false brotherly bond, based on the real connection of being fellow transmigrators from Earth.

The foundation of their cooperation was mutual benefit, while the emotional bond was the link between them. Thus, the two crafty foxes naturally established a cooperative relationship.

"Looking at it now, I already have three Immortal Gu: Ghost Fetus, Shen You, and Ding Xian You. It's much better than just having the Ghost Fetus Immortal Gu in my past life."

In his past life, after obtaining the Qi Family inheritance, Qi Tian had to destroy the Ghost Fetus Immortal Gu in the Night Soul Blessed Land because it couldn't be preserved. He then accumulated fifty years of foundation and refined it anew when ascending to Immortality.

"However, the Shen You Gu is of little use. I'll need to find a chance to get the recipe for the second Aperture Gu from Fang Yuan," Qi Tian thought to himself.

"But the most important thing next is the Stone Human Tribe. I need to dig the canal and solve the problem of the Yin Cloud White Sea in the eastern part of the Blessed Land and the Black Flame Star Fall in the northern part, so that there are no gaps in the Blessed Land during the Earth Disaster."

"As for the Blue Charm Movie in the western part of the Blessed Land, there's no way to deal with it right now. Though I could use the Ghost Spirit Child to incite it to attack the Soul Stirring Mountain, it won't attack recklessly. If things go wrong, it will retreat."

"I should also pay a visit to the Night Soul Blessed Land. I'll leave the Stone Human Tribe and the Fox Clan to the Earth Spirit. Let Fang Yuan assist. With such laborers, I can't afford to waste them. With his wisdom, he naturally understands the situation and won't hold back. With the Earth Spirit present, I'm not worried about him making any moves."

Qi Tian's expression eased as he confirmed the next steps.

"However, there's something even more important right now." Qi Tian smiled inwardly.

Even if he didn't capture Fang Yuan directly, he would still get what he wanted.

How much energy does Fang Yuan have left to keep up the act?

If not now, when would be the best time to search his soul?
