In the side courtyard of Divine Transformation Peak.
Fang Yuhan had long since woken up from his deep sleep, but he dared not make any rash movements.
The Yellow Spring Diagram could sense the fluctuations of spiritual awareness around it.
Thus, Fang Yuhan knew that at least four elders were guarding the courtyard.
"Damn it!"
Fang Yuhan was filled with anger.
How did things end up like this?
In his imagined scenario, this should have been his moment to shine in the Discipleship Tournament, showing off his abilities and gaining endless glory.
He would have become a core disciple of the Yuhua Immortal Sect.
At that time, the Yuhua Master would have fully supported him, Fang Qingxue would have been by his side, and the other disciples would have respected him.
But now, all his hopes had turned to dust.
He had won against the other disciples in the tournament, yet instead of being rewarded, he had been severely injured and imprisoned in this small courtyard.
"It must be Su Ming's doing! There was no other addition in my imagination than him, it must be his appearance that caused me to suffer from this backlash!"
"What did he say?"
Fang Yuhan loathed Su Ming with all his heart.
"This spoiled second-generation heir... he deserves to die! No, I must get rid of him!"
Fang Yuhan was a person who clearly distinguished between kindness and hatred. His poor origins made him unlike those who were born with great luck.
Once he gained power, he would ruthlessly devour his enemies.
Looking back, the Yellow Spring Diagram had also been taken from a dying person.
So, in Fang Yuhan's view, if he didn't fight and seize opportunities, he would never have a chance to rise.
"That Demon Emperor's son is just a reckless playboy who doesn't care about cultivation and ascendance. His strength can't be that great."
"But... he definitely has many powerful protectors around him!"
"I need to think of a sneaky way to kill him, one that'd draw no attention towards me!"
Fang Yuhan's expression changed constantly, flickering between light and dark.
He had methods for such situations.
The Yellow Spring Diagram was a treasure of the Yellow Spring Emperor, containing numerous divine powers and techniques.
But many of these required specific cultivation levels, and Fang Yuhan had not yet reached the Myriad Laws Realm, so currently he could only use 10% of the abilities.
"However... there is one method I can use!"
His eyes turned cold.
Inside the Yellow Spring Diagram, there was the remnant soul of a Yellow Spring Blood Dragon!
This remnant soul had once been the Yellow Spring Emperor's pet beast, possessing pure dragon power.
It had nourished itself in the Yellow Spring Diagram for a thousand years, absorbing much of the Yellow Spring Emperor's energy, making its power unpredictable.
Fang Yuhan had encountered this Blood Dragon before.
But since he hadn't fully controlled the Yellow Spring Diagram, the dragon couldn't be used by him.
"To command the Yellow Spring Blood Dragon, I must pay a great price."
"It requires a massive amount of blood, and once used, my lifespan will be reduced by at least thirty years, and my talents will become weaker than before...."
"The most important thing is that I might lose control of the Yellow Spring Diagram itself because of that."
Fang Yuhan fell into an intense inner conflict.
Other side effects were tolerable, but the idea of losing control of the Yellow Spring Diagram made him extremely reluctant.
If something went wrong and he lost the Yellow Spring Diagram, he would never have a chance to rise to peak again!
Just then, a light and brisk set of footsteps came from outside.
"Hmm?"
Fang Yuhan got up and cautiously looked towards the door.
In the distance, he saw Fang Qingxue walking at the top of Divine Transformation Peak, a smile on her face.
"Senior Sister Fang?"
Seeing Fang Qingxue, Fang Yuhan's face showed a hint of joy.
But soon, his expression froze.
It was already late, and where had Senior Sister Fang come from?
Previously, Fang Yuhan had a good understanding of Fang Qingxue's character.
Fang Qingxue was focused on cultivation and rarely left Divine Transformation Peak.
But now... he could clearly see that the smile on Fang Qingxue's face was sincere, filled with a shy and lingering emotion.
Fang Yuhan's heart tightened.
That smile was beautiful, but it wasn't directed at him.
At that moment, several female disciples from the peak walked by, chatting.
"Senior Sister Fang went to the palace again."
"I'm really jealous, only Senior Sister Fang gets to be close to that Demon Emperor's son."
"Yeah, from the looks of it, there's probably something going on between them..."
Their casual chatter was accompanied by envious and happy laughter.
Fang Yuhan felt as if his head was struck by a loud bang.
Fang Qingxue returned this late... From Su Ming's palace?
A powerful surge of jealousy rose in his chest.
"Damn it!"
"That lowly woman!"
"Only I deserve her. Even though I'm badly hurt and she doesn't come to see me, she's hanging around with that Demon Emperor's son!"
"This is absolutely infuriating!"
Fang Yuhan was consumed by rage, his eyes turning bloodshot.
"Su Ming, I will definitely kill you, you son of a b!tch!"
A low growl rumbled in his throat, and at that moment, he couldn't care about anything else.
Fang Yuhan focused his mind, sending his spiritual sea directly into the Yellow Spring Diagram.
*Splash!*
Inside the Diagram, the sound of rushing water filled the air, like another vast world.
In this world, as far as the eye could see, endless waves of water surged.
But these waves weren't ordinary rivers. They were the Yellow Spring's eerie, dark waters.
The Yellow Spring roared and churned, with terrifying waves that shook the earth, seemingly ready to swallow everything in its contact.
"Yan!"
Fang Yuhan called out loudly.
Soon, the Yellow Spring waters rumbled, like thunder, and the waves rose up, a massive figure shooting into the sky.
*Swoosh*Drip*
It was a huge Blood Dragon!
This Blood Dragon had pure dragon blood but had not ascended into a true dragon.
It had been captured in the Yellow Spring Diagram in a remnant soul form.
Even so, this Blood Dragon's battle power was incredible, stronger than even real dragons.
The huge, imposing head of the Blood loomed high, releasing a terrifying pressure that hit Fang Yuhan head-on.
"You said last time, that if I fed you my blood to help you form a physical body, you would help me with one thing!"
"Now, go kill my eternal enemy Su Ming!"
"I am willing to exchange twenty years of my life and a hundred years of my blood, just accept my command!!"
Fang Yuhan's face was filled with fury and hatred as he spoke sharply.
*GRAAAH*
Upon hearing Fang Yuhan's words, the Blood Dragon's eyes gleamed, and a voice spread through the spiritual sea.
"Young man, are you serious about your decision?"
"Yes, as long as Su Ming doesn't exist, it's all fine!!!"
