The First Venerable of All Paths

"Su Chongming, I'm waiting for you!"

Fang Xuan lay on the ground, staring at the disappearing vortex, his eyes flashing with killing intent.

He and the Su family have long been at odds, locked in a life-or-death struggle.

Now he has killed Su Mian, completely tearing away the last fig leaf between them.

From this moment forward, the Su family will spare no effort to retaliate against and suppress Fang Xuan.

Su Chongming himself might even take action.

Therefore, Fang Xuan needs to improve his cultivation level as soon as possible.

Fang Xuan slowly stood up, looked around the secret realm, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"Then, this secret realm will be the beginning of my rise!"

Fang Xuan walked towards the wolf king, flipped himself over, and mounted it.

"Walk!"

The wolf king let out a long howl and charged forward at full speed.

Before long, Fang Xuan found Li Tianjiao and the others.

"Young Master, are you alright?"

Upon seeing Fang Xuan again, Fang Danian and the others were all extremely excited.

They had witnessed what happened just now, and they were genuinely worried for Fang Xuan.

"I'm fine."

Fang Xuan said, "Next, I have a few things I need you to do."

"You guys chat."

Li Tianjiao smiled slightly and led the Li family members to the side.

She knew Fang Xuan had something important to tell her, so she wisely chose to avoid it.

"Young Master, please feel free to give your orders."

Fang Danian and the others stood to the side, looking at Fang Xuan with solemn expressions.

"From this moment on, this secret realm belongs to our Fang family."

Hearing this, even though Fang Danian and the others had some guesses, they were still quite excited.

"Very good!"

Fang Wen said, "From now on, our Fang family has a powerful foundation, and we won't be afraid even if we go to war with the Su family!"

The others were also very excited.

During this period, although Fang Xuan has continuously created miracles and brought hope to the Fang family.

But in the end, they still can't compare to the Su family.

The root cause is that the Su family has latched onto the powerful Dao Seeking Sect.

If the Su family is willing, and the Dao Sect intervenes, the Fang family will face annihilation.

Now that they possess the secret realm, the Fang family has a way out.

This also allows for rapid development and enhanced strength.

It can be said.

Taking control of this secret realm is of paramount importance to the Fang family.

"As you all know, this secret realm is extremely important to our family."

Fang Xuan said, "But the Su family will definitely not let this go. They will do everything they can to prevent us from completely taking control of this secret realm."

Controlling the central hub of the secret realm does not equate to controlling the secret realm itself.

Because the secret realm itself also harbors all sorts of dangers.

"Next, I will bring some of my clansmen into the secret realm to help them improve their cultivation."

Fang Xuan said, "And you few are the first group of clansmen I have chosen."

Upon hearing this, Fang Danian and the others suddenly began to breathe rapidly.

They knew what this would mean.

"Da Nian, you are now at the ninth level of the Body Refinement Realm."

Fang Xuan said, "I need you to break through to the Qi Gathering Realm within a month."

"A breakthrough within a month?"

Fang Danian's expression changed, and he said, "Young Master, isn't this too fast?"

Breaking through a cultivation level is no easy feat.

To be honest, Fang Danian didn't have much confidence.

"With such a huge advantage as the secret realm, and with my help, a month should be enough."

Fang Xuan said, "Besides, we don't have much time left."

Upon hearing this, Fang Danian nodded firmly and said, "Okay, I will do my best!"

"The second thing."

Fang Xuan said, "After you leave the secret realm, immediately tell the Grand Elder what happened here, and have him select a group of clansmen with potential. I will arrange for them to enter the secret realm to cultivate. There don't need to be too many people, ten will be enough."

"good!"

Fang Danian said, "Young Master, don't you plan to leave?"

"I've just taken over the secret realm and need to familiarize myself with it."

Fang Xuan said, "Moreover, I also need to gain experience here and strive to improve my strength."

Obtaining this secret realm is a tremendous opportunity for Fang Xuan, but it also comes with a great sense of crisis.

Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.

For some sects and forces, a mere secret realm might not be much.

But for groups like the Hundred Beasts Gang and the Blood Fiend Gang, this secret realm is nothing short of a priceless treasure.

And it's the kind that's incredibly rare and hard to come by.

"There is a secret letter here."

Fang Xuan handed the prepared envelope to Fang Wen and instructed him, "This letter must be delivered to Master Zhong. No one else is allowed to see it."

Fang Xuan emphasized, "Remember, it's anyone!"

He added some spiritual imprints to the envelope to prevent outsiders from seeing it.

However, the opponent's spiritual power was strong enough to break Fang Xuan's seal.

"Rest assured, young master, as long as we are alive, our faith will endure!"

Fang Wen took the envelope and solemnly assured him.

"Alright, except for the Lunar New Year, Fang Wen, you guys get ready. I'll see you off in a bit."

After saying that, Fang Xuan walked towards Li Tianjiao.

"Brother Fang Xuan."

Li Tianjiao smiled and said, "Congratulations on successfully obtaining a secret realm."

"Thanks."

Fang Xuan nodded and said, "If it weren't for you taking care of Da Nian and the others, I wouldn't have been able to obtain the secret realm so smoothly."

"Isn't it too formal for us to say such things?"

Li Tianjiao blinked and said, "I told you before that I would help you get the secret realm."

Upon hearing this, Fang Xuan's heart trembled, and a complex look flashed in his eyes.

Perhaps, including the Fang and Li families, they can't understand why the Fang and Li families have always been openly and covertly fighting each other, with many conflicts.

However, the relationship between Fang Xuan and Li Tianjiao is extremely special.

Even Li Shanya, the head of the Li family, noticed that his granddaughter had a special feeling for Fang Xuan.

This is because Fang Xuan had saved Li Tianjiao's life.

"If it weren't for you protecting me when I awakened my martial meridians, I would have died long ago."

Li Tianjiao tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said softly, "You have no idea how important that is to me."

At that time, Li Tianjiao was gaining experience outside.

Just as his martial veins were awakening, he was targeted by several demonic beasts.

At the critical moment, Fang Xuan appeared like a divine warrior, repelling the demonic beast and personally protecting Li Tianjiao. It wasn't until the end that Li Tianjiao discovered that Fang Xuan had already fallen into a coma due to his severe injuries.

From that moment on, a shadow was added to the girl's memory.

Fang Xuan smiled slightly, but did not continue the topic. Instead, he said, "Tianjiao, I have a suggestion you can listen to."

"Brother Fang Xuan, please speak. I'm listening."

Li Tianjiao's brows were always full of smiles.

"As you can see, my relationship with the Su family is now one of irreconcilable conflict."

Fang Xuan's tone turned serious as he said, "Given Su Chongming's character, he will absolutely not allow the Li family to remain uninvolved."

"Brother Fang Xuan, are you hoping our two families will join forces?"

Li Tianjiao said, "This matter is too big for me to make a decision on."

She was genuinely grateful to Fang Xuan.

It even harbors a special feeling.

However, Li Tianjiao dared not agree to Fang Xuan's request regarding such a major family matter.

That's not what I meant.

Fang Xuan said, "I just hope you can persuade your grandfather to remain neutral on this matter and not take sides."

Li Tianjiao frowned and said, "Are you worried that the Su family might secretly seek cooperation with my grandfather?"

"That possibility cannot be ruled out."

Fang Xuan said, "Therefore, I need the Li family's attitude. As long as the Li family does not side with the Su family, I will give them a portion of the secret realm's resources."

Upon hearing this, Li Tianjiao suddenly fell into deep thought.

"not enough!"

After a long silence, Li Tianjiao shook his head and said, "Brother Fang Xuan, you know that these things alone won't convince my grandfather or those stubborn old men in the clan."

Putting aside personal feelings, even if there were no benefits, she would stand on Fang Xuan's side.

But she is a member of the Li family.

She has a responsibility to her family.

Fang Xuan looked at Li Tianjiao and smiled slightly.

"What else do you want?"

Li Tianjiao's beautiful eyes flashed as she stared at Fang Xuan and asked, "Anything is fine?"

Fang Xuan avoided Li Tianjiao's gaze and said calmly, "As long as I can accept it, I can consider it."

"Then I want... five dungeon slots every year."

Li Tianjiao said, "How about it? This request isn't unreasonable, is it?"

"At most three."

Fang Xuan shook his head without hesitation and said, "This is my biggest concession."

Li Tianjiao had to consider his family's interests, and Fang Xuan also had to be responsible for the Fang family.

"How stingy."

Li Tianjiao muttered to himself, "Three it is then. After all, you're the master of the secret realm now."

"Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

Fang Xuan said, "In addition to the three slots each year, I will also give the Li family some extra compensation."

"OK."

Li Tianjiao readily agreed, saying, "With these, persuading my grandfather and those stubborn old men in the clan shouldn't be a problem."

"Then I'll leave it to you."

After discussing some specific details with Li Tianjiao, the giant wolf had almost recovered.

Fang Xuan had the giant wolf open the exit of the secret realm, sending Li Tianjiao, Fang Wen, and the others out.

"Brother Fang Xuan."

Before leaving, Li Tianjiao said mysteriously, "If you have the chance, you can go and take a look over there."

Following the direction Li Tianjiao was pointing, Fang Xuan raised an eyebrow.

That's the very center of the secret realm.

The mountain was shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see anything inside.

But that was the most dangerous place in the entire secret realm.

"If I have the chance, I will go."

Fang Xuan nodded, and after watching everyone leave, he said to Fang Danian, "Come with me."

Soon, the two arrived at the top of a mountain.

From a high vantage point, most of the hidden realm can be seen.

Fang Xuan took a deep breath and looked at the giant wolf lying to the side.

"Let's begin."

The giant wolf shook its head and reluctantly opened its mouth to let out a long howl.

In an instant, the secret realm was engulfed in turmoil.

Mountains shifted, rivers changed course.

A row of rugged buildings rose from the ground.

It was further divided into different areas.

Seeing this scene before him, he was immediately shocked.

Only gods could alter the terrain and landform in this way.

Could this be the power of the Lord of the Secret Realm?

"Boom!"

The ground shook, and a tall city wall began to emerge, enclosing the building in the center.

"Hachihachi!"

After doing all this, the giant wolf collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

This seems to be a huge drain on it as well.

Fang Xuan also felt weak in spirit, but his face was full of excitement.

With these buildings, the Fang family will have a place to settle down when they move in later.

As long as he sets up an array around him, he won't have to worry about being attacked by blood beasts.

"From now on, you will stay here and cultivate."

Fang Xuan tossed Fang Danian a storage bag and said, "The resources inside are enough for you to break through to the Qi Gathering Realm within a month."
