“Establish ‍​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍an alliance openly to gather resources and information, while cultivating in secret. This preserves the purity of the sect and allows it to develop quietly in seclusion.”

Just ‍​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍as his words fell, the light and shadows within the cave abode shifted slightly, and another figure materialized out of thin air.

This ‍​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍person was likewise dressed in a dark Daoist robe, but his expression was rather cold and composed.

It ‍​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍was precisely Gu Yan’s second severed incarnation—the Good Body.

“This ‍​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍is my other incarnation. He upholds conscience and righteousness, and can act for good deeds.”

Gu Yan introduced him to the two.

“He can accompany you to the Central Province to assist in bringing this matter to fruition, and can also handle some of the mundane affairs within the alliance on your behalf.”

“You may call him Fang Yuan.”

Daoist Xuanchen and Yunchenzi were overjoyed.

With an incarnation of the Longevity True Lord personally assisting, the chances of success would greatly increase, and there would be an additional layer of solid assurance.

At this moment, Fang Yuan cupped his hands politely and said gently, “Greetings, fellow Daoists. Since you intend to establish an alliance, have you decided on a name?”

Daoist Xuanchen and Yunchenzi exchanged glances and shook their heads. “We have yet to find a suitable name.”

Fang Yuan pondered briefly before speaking slowly, “Since it is to gather the righteous path of the world and seek peace and prosperity for all, it should advocate benevolence and mutual aid…”

“How about calling it the Heaven and Earth Great Love Unity Alliance?”

Heaven and Earth Great Love Unity Alliance?

Daoist Xuanchen and Yunchenzi softly repeated the name twice.

Although the name was straightforward, it carried grand momentum and lofty intent.

It embodied unity, equality, and universal love—precisely the bearing a righteous alliance should possess.

“Good! This name is excellent!” the two praised in unison.

At the side, the corner of Gu Yan’s mouth twitched imperceptibly.

The Evil Body was called Nether Soul, the Good Body was called Fang Yuan… yes, he admitted, this carried a bit of his personal dark humor.

But the Heaven and Earth Great Love Unity Alliance…

Forget it, he would let the Good Body decide.

After further detailed discussions on their course of action, Fang Yuan departed together with Daoist Xuanchen and Yunchenzi, preparing to head toward the Central Province.

The cave abode returned to tranquility.

As Gu Yan sensed his two incarnations departing one after another, he felt that the divine ability External Incarnation was indeed extremely useful.

It could handle many external affairs for him and also attract potential attention.

“There is still the Self Body… for now, I will keep it as a trump card.”

“If there are truly other cultivators hidden in this world, with Nether Soul and Fang Yuan in front, I can remain steady behind the scenes and respond calmly.”

With everything arranged, Gu Yan gathered his mind and continued immersing himself in cultivation.

……

Time flowed swiftly; within the cave, years passed unnoticed.

In the blink of an eye, three years had gone by.

At two hundred and thirty years old, Gu Yan’s cultivation progressed naturally, stepping into the Third Layer of the Nascent Soul.

After stabilizing his realm, his mind sank inward, and he began to sort through the experiences and memories of his two incarnations over the past three years.

The first thing he perceived was the Evil Body, Nether Soul’s actions within the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Over these three years, Nether Soul had been like a life-reaping phantom, wandering through the vast and fragmented Hundred Thousand Mountains.

He did not roam aimlessly or merely gather information—he specifically targeted ancient clans and forces notorious for heinous deeds and the torment of living beings, while incidentally gathering the information he sought.

For example, the Chu Family entrenched in Fallen Maple Valley.

The Chu Family’s conduct was no different from the demonic path, cultivating evil arts using the blood essence of living people.

Every year, they abducted hundreds of young and strong individuals, torturing them until they wailed in despair before extracting their blood.

Deep within the valley, bones were piled like mountains, and resentment filled the sky.

When Nether Soul arrived, it coincided with their blood sacrifice ritual.

He spoke not a word. Where his sword light rose, he slaughtered from the altar all the way to the ancestral hall.

Seven hundred members of the Chu Family—including their ancestor at the early stage of Martial Dao Seventh Revolution, who prolonged his life through evil arts despite withered vitality—were all executed.

Afterward, the evil cultivation manuals and blood pools were destroyed as well.

Another example was the Tang Sect that dominated Poison Dragon Marsh. They specialized in insidious poison techniques, controlling surrounding tribes and regularly demanding people for poison testing, leading to extremely miserable deaths.

They even discharged poisonous miasma into water sources, rendering thousands of miles of land outside the marsh barren.

Nether Soul entered directly into the core of the poison lair, appearing while Sect Master Tang San was refining the Myriad Poison Gu.

He triggered a backlash from countless poisonous creatures within the cave.

Overnight, the entire Tang Sect turned into pus and blood, and the poison lair completely collapsed.

There were many similar incidents.

Nether Soul’s process of discovering these targets was often simple.

Sometimes he followed clues, sometimes he learned through Soul Search.

More often, it was when the other party could not restrain themselves from committing evil and happened to fall right into his hands.

The forces within the Hundred Thousand Mountains were intricately entangled; the so-called “hundred thousand” was merely a vague term.

What Nether Soul eradicated was only a portion of them.

Among these families, more than one indeed had ancestors at the level of Martial Dao Seventh Revolution.

However, most relied on secret techniques, pills, or evil arts to forcibly extend their lives, their vitality depleted and their strength far from their peak.

Nether Soul acted like a cleaner, specifically targeting these malignant growths, while also investigating whether there were any traces of immortals in the world.

Yet to this day, let alone immortals, even Martial Saints of the Eighth Revolution were rarely heard of.

As for the slaughter Nether Soul had wrought over these three years, Gu Yan’s true body, sensing those bloody scenes, felt little discomfort in his heart.

Those killed by Nether Soul were all heinous villains who deserved death.

This was not karmic sin—if the Heavenly Dao were aware, it should count as merit instead.

Moreover, on the other side, the Good Body, Fang Yuan, had also been continuously performing good deeds over the past three years.

The accumulated merit was sufficient to offset any possible karmic burden.

Through the joint efforts of Fang Yuan, Daoist Xuanchen, and Yunchenzi, the Heaven and Earth Great Love Unity Alliance was officially established in the imperial city of the Central Province.

Fang Yuan deeply understood the cautious nature of the original body and did not assume the position of alliance leader, instead remaining behind the scenes.

He served as a transcendent Guardian Elder.

He was actually responsible for coordinating all parties, formulating alliance rules, and guiding its direction.

The position of alliance leader was held in rotation every fifty years by the leaders of the ten major righteous sects that joined.

The current first rotating alliance leader was the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect—a highly respected giant of the sword path with cultivation at the late stage of Martial Dao Sixth Revolution.

The Heaven and Earth Great Love Unity Alliance advocated protecting all living beings, ceasing conflict, and advancing together. It promoted limited equality and cooperation, opposing senseless conquest and oppression.

Its principles gained the support of a large number of small and medium sects as well as ordinary people.

Its power expanded rapidly, already becoming a colossal force within the Great Qian Dynasty.

To a certain extent, it even hollowed out part of the authority of the Great Qian imperial family.

The imperial family found this intolerable, yet they dared not speak out in anger.

No—it was that they did not even dare to easily show anger.

Because anyone with discernment could see that the current Heaven and Earth Great Love Unity Alliance possessed the strength to overturn the Great Qian Dynasty.

The imperial family could only cautiously act within the alliance framework, barely maintaining a semblance of dignity.

This dignity was something Fang Yuan temporarily left them, considering that the current emperor was still diligent and reasonable, and had not lost the support of the people.

In his eyes, if the imperial family were still parasites feeding on the people’s wealth, he would have already personally uprooted them.

Now, the imperial family retained only an empty shell of dignity, without real privilege, and could no longer oppress the common people.

As for the future—if a foolish ruler were to ascend the throne…

He would not mind carrying out another cleansing at that time; it would not be too late.

Meanwhile, the Taiyi Dao Sect quietly retreated behind the scenes as planned.

Daoist Xuanchen and Yunchenzi remained stationed in the Central Province to manage the alliance, while sect affairs were handled by Qin Su and other elders.

The mountain gate was half-closed, focusing solely on cultivating immortal seedlings and core disciples.

It had truly begun a silent transformation from a martial sect into an immortal sect.

After sensing all of this, Gu Yan slowly opened his eyes.

“On the side of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, Nether Soul has already explored many regions. Since there are no clues, it is time to change direction.”

With a thought, he transmitted a new instruction to both incarnations simultaneously.

【The Hundred Thousand Mountains and the Great Qian territory are temporarily concluded.】

【Turn eastward and investigate the Endless Sea.】

The instruction was sent.

Within a valley strewn with corpses, Nether Soul suddenly raised his head.

He then transformed into a shadow and drifted toward the eastern sea.

At the same time, within an elegant pavilion in the imperial city of the Central Province—

Fang Yuan, who was discussing matters with the rotating alliance leader, paused slightly.

The gentle smile in his eyes remained unchanged, but inwardly, he already understood.

“The original body has new arrangements again… the Endless Sea, huh?”

“Very well. The land-based game is stabilizing—it is time to take a look at the overseas scenery.”
