This time, the aftershock was violent.
Large sections of rock walls collapsed, revealing the Dao Tribulation Void leaking with energy.
The self-destruction of the Secret Realm had finally reached its end.
Fang Chang swept his gaze upward. “We should leave.”
Luo Yi’s eyes turned grave as he withdrew his power and approached. “Brother Fang knows the exit?”
“There is no exit in this Secret Realm.”
Fang Chang shook his head.
The Nine Heavens Secret Realm was the dojo of an ancient powerhouse. Since it had initiated self-destruction, there was no reason to leave behind an exit.
Luo Yi’s tiger eyes widened. “This…”
Dai Bojun finished vomiting and walked over weakly.
“Big Brother Fang is teasing again. He must have a way to leave.”
He didn’t care about anything else—he simply had inexplicable confidence in him.
Fang Chang first glanced into the distance.
That was where You Yiming had been struck away by Consort Ning. You Yuan seemed to sense something and dug out her barely-breathing father from there.
That thousand-year Huangjing had blocked a blow for him, so he had not died.
Fang Chang was not surprised.
Among the three thousand Great Daos, those related to plants and creatures like turtles had vitality far exceeding others.
After steadying himself—
Fang Chang shot out a qi arrow, picking off a small section of the Secret Realm plant roots inside Wang Yichen’s body.
With another push, the root flew and struck Dai Bojun’s face.
The moment it touched flesh, it took root and burrowed in.
“Ah!!”
Seeing Wang Yichen’s miserable state, Dai Bojun screamed in terror, her face turning pale. “Big Brother Fang!”
“What’s the rush.”
Fang Chang smiled. “Do you have Relocation Talismans?”
“Relocation Talismans?”
Dai Bojun’s eyes filled with tears, indicating she didn’t quite understand.
Without the guidance of the White Tiger Soul Body, she had lacked far too much knowledge and experience in cultivation along the way.
Luo Yi took out a stack. “I do.”
Fang Chang nodded and pulled out five or six.
Relocation Talismans were not particularly advanced talismans. They were mostly used by low-level cultivators when moving house or transporting heavy objects.
However—
This very ordinary talisman provided Fang Chang with a sliver of hope on his evil speedrun path through the Nine Heavens Secret Realm.
Fang Chang pointed toward the hidden chamber that stored the 【Nine Heavens Secret Key · True】.
As mentioned before—
This hidden chamber had a random teleportation property.
And once you were parasitized by those roots, the teleportation array would mistakenly treat you as part of the Secret Realm.
At that point, it would not reject you.
If you continuously used Relocation Talismans on yourself, it would create a BUG. The teleportation array would misinterpret that you had changed, potentially even affecting the balance within the dojo.
At that moment, it would not choose to digest you.
Instead, it would expel you outward.
“Let the survivors get infected by the roots, then all head into that chamber and continuously use Relocation Talismans to slam toward the ground.”
“?”
Question marks popped over both their heads.
Fang Chang didn’t explain further. With Luo Yi of the Pure Yang Path—who naturally countered plant-based methods—there was no need to fear the roots affecting them.
Fang Chang took out a small booklet he had prepared in advance.
He stuffed it into Lü Muxue’s collar and patted it twice to secure it.
The young girl’s chest was full and soft—two pats made it bounce slightly with a “duang.”
“Keep it well. It’s your payment for your aunt’s corpse.”
The words were provoking.
Flames of anger burned in Lü Muxue’s eyes as she stared at Fang Chang, as if she wanted to incinerate him.
Fang Chang laughed loudly, not caring in the slightest.
There had been many who hated him before, and there would be many more in the future.
He didn’t even care about the original plot and was acting recklessly—why would he fear being hated?
With a flick of his sleeve, he picked a section of root to parasitize himself.
Then he snapped his fingers beside Zhao Yuntong’s ear.
“Let’s go.”
This trip had yielded abundant rewards—it was time to leave.
Zhao Yuntong didn’t even look at him. She turned into a red shadow and returned on her own to the coffin within the Black Tortoise Square Cauldron.
The girl had shut herself off.
Didn’t like talking.
Fang Chang clicked his tongue but didn’t bother with her.
“Fang Chang!”
You Yuan supported her heavily injured father and suddenly called out, “Where do I find you to repay this debt?”
Fang Chang didn’t stop, nor did he turn back.
“When your cultivation rises, I’ll find you myself.”
“What level counts as rising?”
“At least the Fourth Realm.”
“Then it’s settled! When I reach the Fourth Realm, come find me!”
Fang Chang did not reply again.
He waved his hand behind him, his robes fluttering without wind—carefree and elegant.
As he spoke, he had already entered the hidden chamber.
The glow of talismans activating spread out.
“Relocation Talisman Relocation Talisman Relocation Talisman—damn! Why so unlucky… Relocation Talisman Relocation Talisman——”
“……”
A sudden wind rose from the cracks splitting the Secret Realm.
The wind carried dust, surging like waves.
When everyone’s vision cleared again, Fang Chang was already gone from the chamber.
Luo Yi sighed. “A person like Brother Fang is truly rare in this world.”
Dai Bojun felt it was unfair to Fang Chang. “He’s always like this. Clearly he saves people but never takes credit, and leaves first… it was the same when he saved me.”
You Yuan pursed her lips, saying nothing.
Silently tightening her grip on the One-Leaf Azure in her hand.
Lü Muxue was helped up by the female disciples who rushed over from behind.
She said hatefully, “He’s from the Corpse Refinement Path!”
Dai Bojun retorted, “You don’t have to say that. In the end, your aunt was killed by that Jade Planting Path.”
“He took my aunt’s corpse!”
Lü Muxue’s shoulders trembled, her eyes reddening as blood vessels spread densely.
“He must have planned this from the start! He’s been calculating since the first time I met him!! My aunt being killed by the Jade Planting Path was also part of his plan!”
Dai Bojun wanted to argue back.
But recalling what Fang Chang had said—
—it really did seem like he had foreknowledge, even understanding everything within the Secret Realm.
She opened her mouth, then said weakly:
“In any case, Big Brother Fang wouldn’t be that kind of person…”
Lü Muxue glared at her. “You are a complete fool. At this rate, you’ll be controlled by him for your entire life.”
Dai Bojun’s face instantly flushed red.
“I’m a man!”
“……”
...
...
“Puchi——”
A flash of teleportation light appeared in the sky.
When his vision returned, Fang Chang suddenly found himself facing endless blue.
The sky above, clouds around him.
The earth was rushing up from a bottomless abyss, spinning closer.
From directly above, the Nine Heavens Secret Realm looked like an overturned giant bowl-shaped dome, layers of gray rock undulating, covered in crisscrossing cracks.
—Fang Chang was falling.
“Wait, what the hell!”
“Who expels people into the sky like this?!”
“Tongzi, Tongzi?”
“Hello? Hello——”
Fang Chang cursed loudly.
The pressure of the wind tore at his eardrums, his lungs filled with rushing air.
The entire world was inverted as he plummeted rapidly.
The intense weightlessness invaded him, and his emotions gradually calmed. Suddenly, he found it a bit amusing.
He reclined midair, crossing one leg over the other, using the intense air pressure as a bed.
In the distance, the sun slowly sank into the sea of clouds, its edges spreading an orange-red glow, turning the surrounding clouds into brocade.
The light coated Fang Chang in a warm hue.
Zhao Yuntong appeared before him at some unknown moment.
Her red robes burned like fire.
She fell together with Fang Chang, her dazzling crimson garments fluttering upward, like a breathtaking phoenix in the glow of sunset.
The raging wind pressed the thin fabric tightly against her body, outlining full, trembling curves, as if they might break free at any moment.
Her waist was cinched slender by the wind, and below, the rounded curve of her hips rose, the fabric clinging to reveal long, straight lines—every contour vividly outlined in red silk.
The two looked at each other.
Her enchanting and seductive face was still dark.
Fang Chang smiled, gently stroking her face at close distance.
Cool, like white jade.
“Beautiful!”
Fang Chang shouted.
He held her face and planted a firm kiss on those charming red lips.
Even a Yin Corpse’s lips were soft and tender.
A faint blush passed across Zhao Yuntong’s cheeks.
She stiffly turned her head aside, avoiding his gaze.
“If you think doing something like this can make this matter pass, you’re being far too naive.”
Fang Chang leaned closer again. This time, he didn’t kiss her directly, but brushed the corner of her lips with his thumb.
“You understand me.”
He was still shouting, his tone lazy with a smile. “Those Yin Corpses outside—I use them and discard them, I don’t even bother touching them. How could you be the same as them?”
Zhao Yuntong lowered her eyes without speaking, but her eyelashes trembled slightly.
“Think about it yourself—didn’t my primal yang get spent in your hands?”
He coaxed gently, his tone sincere. “Doesn’t that make you different?”
As he spoke, he tried to hold her face again.
Zhao Yuntong turned her head to avoid him, though not completely.
The kiss landed at the corner of her lips. As Fang Chang pulled away, she even tilted her face forward slightly to meet him.
Zhao Yuntong stared at him for two seconds.
Suddenly, her lips curved into a radiant smile.
“If I find out you touch someone else… I’ll chop her up.”
Fang Chang snorted.
“That’s a bit ridiculous, Tongzi. Who would actually take the initiative to do anything to a Corpse Puppet?”
