Reverend Insanity: The One and Only Great Love

[false_truth]

...


The Transformation Path, founded by Reckless Savage Demon Venerable, allows Gu Masters to transform into various creatures, gaining their corresponding dao marks and amplifications. It's a path with low entry requirements, relying on Gu worms that enable the transformation into beasts. In this form, the user benefits from the dao marks of the creature they've become. Most of these transformations are achieved through killer moves, which are relatively easy to create by combining Gu worms that alter specific parts of the body.


This is the path Fang Yuan has chosen to focus on, while Strength Path remains his secondary focus for now.


"Transformation Path is perfect for me," Fang Yuan mused. "With it, I can create numerous killer moves, and I already know how to progress in this path. Once I get Wisdom Gu, I can even transform my dao marks into wisdom marks making use of all its value."


Then a faint smile appeared on his face as he looked down at his vital Gu.


"What I didn't expect was for Lang Ya Land Spirit to have something like this." He inspected his vital Gu carefully—Shapeshifting Gu, feeling both surprised and pleased.


"This Gu must be a result of Lang Ya Land Spirit's research into this semi-finished recipe." Fang Yuan's thoughts were already racing ahead. "He was clearly trying to replicate Change Form Immortal Gu, which was the vital Gu of Reckless Savage Demon Venerable."


Change Form Immortal Gu had only existed as an immortal-level Gu, and its complete recipe was unknown to everyone. Lang Ya Land Spirit had been unable to recreate it fully, eventually creating the Shapeshifting Gu—a weaker, mortal version of the Change Form Gu.


Fang Yuan's gaze grew sharper. "I'll obtain that semi-finished recipe and complete it myself in the future. The Change Form Immortal Gu will also be mine."


He looked at his Shapeshifting Gu once more, This Gu has the potential to become immortal. it was noted in the recipes that Lang Ya Land Spirit had the incomplete immortal recipe.


Fang Yuan smiled, understanding that Lang Ya Land Spirit had left this note for him ,so he would come to the Land Spirit and complete the recipe as the land spirit already saw that Fang Yuan had a very high attainment in Wisdom Path.


...


Shapeshifting Gu was an impressive Gu in its own right. It allowed physical transformation, enabling the user to change their size, shape, and appearance to mimic anything they had seen—be it humans, animals, or even inanimate objects. Additionally, it had adaptive capabilities, letting the user alter their body's density, texture, and durability while in different forms, granting limited adaptation to their environment.


However, the Shapeshifting Gu had its drawbacks. First, unlike Change Form Immortal Gu, which not only altered appearance but also granted new abilities related to the form—like gaining wings to fly—Shapeshifting Gu focused purely on appearance. It didn't allow the user to fully adopt the traits or powers of the shifted form. Second, its transformations were often temporary and came with time limitations, requiring frequent activation and consuming large amounts of immortal essence. This made it unsuitable for long-term transformations.


In essence, Shapeshifting Immortal Gu was ideal for infiltration, stealth, and mimicry. It offered swift adaptation to various environments and situations but lacked the raw power of full transformations. Change Form Immortal Gu, on the other hand, was a true combat tool, granting powerful physical traits like enhanced speed, strength, or flight depending on the form.


"Shapeshifting Gu serves its purpose for me," Fang Yuan thought, "I can combine it with Change Form Immortal Gu in the future."


With that, Fang Yuan's mind focused back on his grand plan. The path of transformation had only just begun for him, but soon, he would soar to new heights—unmatched in his mastery of not only Transformation Path but all paths.


...


Fang Yuan began preparing to leave, knowing he couldn't have his immortal ascension within the blessed land. His ascension required a different location.


He carefully organized the vast collection of Gu he had accumulated from the hairy men and those he had refined himself. His inventory now held an impressive array of Transformation Path Gu, alongside Gu from various other paths, ready to be deployed in his killer moves.


Using the A.I. Chip's aid, Fang Yuan had devised numerous mortal killer moves tailored to support him during his ascension, meticulously crafted to deal with the many potential threats he might face.


In addition to refining Gu, Fang Yuan had spent considerable time buying souls. These souls were a crucial resource for cultivating Guts Gu, allowing him to continually strengthen his soul. Over time, his soul had grown to 500 man soul. Although he could have pushed it to 1,000 times, the frequent use of the Reality Simulation ability consumed parts of his soul, which kept him from achieving that threshold. Moreover, Fang Yuan had deliberately chosen not to transform his soul into the form of a wolf, tiger, or other beasts. He maintained it as a pure Man Soul, understanding that this was the best path for his long-term plans.


Meanwhile, the Immortal Crane Sect remained silent, taking no direct action against Fang Yuan. They were patiently awaiting the next calamity in the blessed land, perhaps expecting it to weaken him or provide an opportunity to strike and invade.


In the following days, Fang Yuan continued his preparations, carefully going over the state of the blessed land. He meticulously checked each aspect of it, ensuring that no vulnerabilities would be left behind in his absence. Before leaving, he gave a series of detailed instructions to Little Hu Land Spirit, ensuring that the operations of the blessed land would continue smoothly even while he was away.


...


Fang Yuan was ready to leave, having made full preparations and plans for his next journey. He made backup plans and even backup plan for the backup plan.


Looking at the blessed land one last time, he prepared to use the killer move Defying-Heaven Dark Travel.


Within three seconds, he vanished, leaving the blessed land, heading toward the place he carefully chose for his ascension.

Before diving in, I want to apologize


About the delay. I've been sick lately, and my body hasn't been adapting well to the weather changes.
On top of that, college has been pretty overwhelming for me lately.
So hope everyone understood my situation.


That aside I want to announce that I've had a lot of ideas recently and have been thinking about writing another novel. I've already thought through the full storylines for several of them. Initially, I was going to write False Truth Demon Venerable, a fanfiction focused on the illusion path—so, yes, my name actually has a bit of history!


SO


Tomorrow, I'll post a list of my novel ideas on Patreon for a public vote. I hope you can join in and share your thoughts!"


...


Enjoy reading

Northern Plains, Northern Region


A man appeared in the vast, snowy wilderness, emitting no aura. Had it not been for the faint dark light surrounding him, no one would have noticed his presence.


It was Fang Yuan. He had successfully used his killer move, Defying-Heaven Dark Travel, and arrived in some northern part of the Northern Plains. He carefully scanned his surroundings, ensuring no one was nearby.


"Good, it's as safe as I expected," Fang Yuan muttered, heading further north.


---


After a few days of travel, he reached his destination—a silent, desolate field of snow.


"I've arrived at my ascension place—the Absolute Ice Battlefield," Fang Yuan smiled as he looked over the icy plains.


In ancient times, Reckless Savage Demon Venerable had once fought strong enemies in the Absolute Ice Battlefield, destroying the land and leaving a void. After the fight, he turned into the immemorial desolate beast Ice Phoenix and restored the battlefield with his breath of absolute profound ice, freezing the void and creating the icy plain once more.


"This battlefield is a blessing from Reckless Savage Demon Venerable, and I will make full use of it," Fang Yuan said, excitement in his voice as he entered the icy field.


He stood calm amid the ice, ready to ascend to the Gu Immortal realm. His aperture wall in his second aperture began to shatter as he initiated the process.


A massive surge of heaven and earth qi erupted. The blue sky above darkened with clouds, and the icy ground cracked under the pressure. Heaven and earth qi grew denser by the second as Fang Yuan floated between the sky and the earth, absorbing and merging the energies with his own human qi.


As the three types of qi—heaven, earth, and human—fused, they poured into the space where his aperture once was, triggering a mysterious transformation. His physical body and soul were tempered, and his very existence elevated to a higher level.


---


There are Three Steps to a successful ascension.


Crushing the Aperture: Fang Yuan had to shatter his mortal aperture completely, allowing the heaven and earth qi to nourish him. The more qi he absorbed, the higher his chances of succeeding. Importantly, the heaven and earth qi needed to remain perfectly balanced.


Generating Human Qi: Fang Yuan had to generate his own human qi. This represented his battle strength, the toughness of his body, the depth of his soul, his understanding of Gu worms, and his attainment of the path he cultivated.


Balancing the Qi: Fang Yuan had to balance his human qi with the heaven and earth qi.


...


When Fang Yuan began generating human qi, he activated the Human Qi Increase Gu, a valuable gu he had acquired from Lang Ya Land Spirit. As his human qi increased, so did the influx of heaven and earth qi—along with the intensity of the calamities and tribulations that accompanied ascension.


Suddenly, a colossal desolate beast emerged from beneath the ice. It was a gigantic golden rat—the Earth Calamity, an Ancient Desolate Beast.


"I've been preparing for this," Fang Yuan smirked, quickly activating his killer moves.


He had planned meticulously for this moment, arming himself with a vast collection of Gu worms and a series of deadly killer moves, all with the help of the A.I. Chip. Not only that, but Fang Yuan had developed a technique allowing him to change his killer moves in battle—but this ability could only be used by a mortal because of his incomplete Dao marks.


So without hesitation, he transformed into an Ice Tiger, freezing the rat with powerful ice attacks. Using the tiger's formidable strength, he crushed the rat's body, before shifting forms—becoming a Water Wolf, then a Thunder Eagle, bombarding the rat with relentless strikes.


Although the giant rat lashed out in fury, Fang Yuan effortlessly dodged its attacks, transforming at the perfect moments to gain the upper hand. Eventually, he shattered the rat's head.


The ease of his victory was due to several factors. Firstly, the rat did not possess any Gu worms, neither immortal nor mortal. Secondly, it was due to the nature of the Absolute Ice Battlefield itself.


The battlefield was filled with the Dao Marks of Reckless Savage Demon Venerable who was giving help to Fang Yuan.


When Gu Masters of the strength path or transformation path ascended here, they would be infused with the venerable's true meaning. Fang Yuan knew this, and it was part of his plan.


"With this, my transformation path attainment should soar," Fang Yuan said, glancing at the decapitated rat. However, despite losing its head, the rat's body continued to move.


Fang Yuan, now in the form of a Wind Falcon, hovered high above, watching intently.


The next moment the rat's body suddenly exploded, releasing a swarm of beasts.


"It's the free attainment experience gift I've been waiting for," Fang Yuan chuckled.


He unleashed a massive fire tornado, obliterating a large number of the beasts, then dove into the fray, launching a savage slaughter. Every time he killed a beast, he felt his transformation attainment rise. Even his strength path attainment surged as he destroyed packs of powerful apes.


Fang Yuan reveled in the bloodshed, laughing wildly as his attainment levels soared.


After he killed enough, he stopped as the Heavenly Tribulation had arrived.


An Ice and Snow Tornado Tribulation descended upon him. Fang Yuan quickly activated his defensive killer moves, skillfully dodging and fending off the assault. Having already dealt with the beasts, there were no further distractions.


Fang Yuan had already used the Small Family Qi Gu to reduce the power of the tribulation, making it easier to endure. The once overwhelming pressure of the Heavenly Tribulation had lessened.


After some time the Tribulation ended but Fang Yuan's body stilled. He was now fully immersed in the swirling three-colored qi, balancing the energies perfectly.


"A.I. Chip, start analyzing the immortal recipe I need and gather all possible secrets," he commanded, his eyes closed in deep concentration. All manner of Great Dao mysteries flooded into his mind like a stream of warm light.


[Beep... Analysis in progress…]


After what seemed like an eternity, a brilliant light erupted, signaling the creation of his immortal aperture. The entire small world was engulfed in the blinding glow.


From the center of the aperture, an Immortal Gu slowly rose.


"So, this is the recipe. My Transformation Immortal Gu—Shapeshifting Immortal Gu—is finally here," Fang Yuan said calmly, gazing at the immortal Gu in front of him as it was a certain thing for him to get.


But suddenly his calm face changed


"…..Hmm, finally, I got it, I got it!" Fang Yuan laughed. "Now my plan can truly begin."


At that moment, Fang Yuan had completed his ascension and officially become a Gu Immortal.


After some time...


As Fang Yuan was inspecting his immortal aperture, a strong and rough voice suddenly echoed from behind him.


"Congratulations, little friend, on becoming an Immortal Gu Master."

...


Fang Yuan was filled with a deep sense of satisfaction after completing his immortal ascension in the transformation path.


Transformation path was called the 'path that projected every path', transformation path Gu Immortals could transform into existences of metal path, light path, sword path, ice path, and all other paths.


But transformation path had a flaw, that was when transformation path Gu Immortals transform into other beings, they needed to get rid of those dao marks to prevent their dao marks from interfering with one another.


"But even so, This path is the best for me right now," Fang Yuan thought, his mind racing with the plan. "I didn't have many choices to begin with. I could only ascend through strength or transformation—both essential for my big plan. But transformation is, without a doubt, the optimal path for me."


Now Fang Yuan became immortal, he had gained even more flexibility.


"I can adapt to any situation and develop countless killer moves with the A.I. Chip's assistance."


...


Fang Yuan began inspecting his immortal aperture. His attention first focused on the green grape-like beads of immortal essence that were being generated. These beads represented boundless power. An immortal essence bead was worth more than primeval essence and could sustain countless mortal Gu indefinitely.


As a mortal, Fang Yuan had relied on special techniques and help from land spirits to access this immortal resource. He had even used a green bead from Little Hu, the land spirit, allowing him to utilize numerous Gu worms during his ascension otherwise he couldn't use all these Gu."


Now, looking at the green beads produced by his own immortal aperture, a sense of pride welled up within him.


"My immortal aperture is vast, over 5400 square kilometers," he noted. "With a flow of time five times faster than the outside world, I'll produce more than thirty beads of Green Grape Immortal Essence per year. I have a high grade immortal aperture."


As Fang Yuan was inspecting his immortal aperture, a strong and rough voice suddenly echoed from behind him.


"Congratulations, little friend, on becoming an Immortal Gu Master."


Fang Yuan's senses immediately sharpened. He turned around swiftly, eyes narrowing as he assessed the figure who had spoken.


The man stood tall and imposing, his body rippling with muscle. He exuded confidence, yet no hostility was apparent.


"No need to worry, little friend. I come with no ill intentions," the man reassured, his voice steady.


Fang Yuan's mind raced. Given the circumstances—this was the icy plains, and the man was a Rank 7 human Gu master—it didn't take long for Fang Yuan to guess his identity.


"This junior greets Lord Domination Immortal, Chu Du," Fang Yuan said, bowing slightly, masking his guardedness behind a respectful demeanor.


Chu Du raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued. "Oh? This friend knows of me?"


"Of course," Fang Yuan replied smoothly. "Who in the world of cultivation doesn't know the famed Domination Immortal, leader of the strength path?"


Chu Du's stern expression softened into a smile, clearly pleased by the recognition. "Hahaha, I wouldn't go so far as to call myself the leader of a path."


"You are to me," Fang Yuan said earnestly, his tone laced with admiration. "I once followed the strength path myself and have long admired your achievements."


Chu Du's curiosity deepened. "Oh? And what caused you to leave the strength path for transformation?"


Fang Yuan's expression faltered for the briefest moment, surprise flickering in his eyes.


Chu Du, noticing Fang Yuan's brief look of surprise, spoke calmly, "I was observing your ascension ceremony."


Fang Yuan immediately understood Chu Du's interest. "He must have seen me changing killer moves without restriction. And with me ascending here, at the site of Reckless Savage Demon Venerable's true meaning..." His mind clicked into place. "He suspects I might have gained Reckless Savage Demon Venerable's inheritance."


Realizing this, Fang Yuan kept his expression composed as he responded, "I stumbled upon a trace of a transformation killer move, which made me shift paths without much hesitation."


He glanced at Chu Du before continuing, "I completed the move, and as you saw, Lord Chu Du, I can now transform freely."


Chu Du's eyes lit up. "That's an incredible killer move."


"I also heard that Reckless Savage Demon Venerable left behind his inheritance here, meant for those who ascend in this place. After learning this, I traveled far until I reached the Northern Plains." Fang Yuan sighed, as if recalling the hardships of his journey.


Chu Du nodded. "I thought as much—you don't seem like someone from the Northern Plains. But it seems your journey has brought you great rewards, as your attainment has clearly grown."


Fang Yuan shifted his expression from one of feigned sadness to satisfaction. "Yes, even though I didn't find Reckless Savage Demon Venerable's inheritance, the true meaning he left behind was an invaluable gift."


"Friend, there's something I'd like to ask of you," Chu Du said, still maintaining a friendly demeanor.


Fang Yuan smiled politely, thinking to himself, "Here it comes."


"What is it, Lord Chu?" he replied, keeping his tone light.


"I'd like to know if you'd be willing to sell me the details of your transformation killer move," Chu Du asked directly. "I'll pay whatever price you ask. Of course, if you choose not to, we can still remain friends."


Fang Yuan's smile widened, his expression appearing genuinely pleased. "Oh, no problem at all, Lord Chu. I would be honored to sell it."


Internally, however, he thought, "Friends? As I will believe that. You just want to confirm it's not Reckless Savage Demon Venerable's inheritance."


"Please, take it as a gift," Fang Yuan added generously, transmitting the clearing method he had created. Since it was only useful for mortals, it had lost its value to him besides it was created to depend on his adaptive transformation Gu.


"Hahaha, wonderful! I've gained a dear friend today." Chu Du laughed heartily, clearly satisfied as he accepted the killer move. He handed Fang Yuan his contact information, saying, "You can reach out to me if any trouble arises, my friend. And, may I ask for your name?"


"Zhou Bu," Fang Yuan replied without hesitation.


"Then, friend Zhou Bu, I'll take my leave. Congratulations again on your ascension to immortality." Chu Du smiled and, with that, left swiftly, disappearing into the distance.


...


Fang Yuan's face was so gloomy as he reflected on his current situation.


"It was the right decision not to send the fixed Immortal Travel Gu to Hu Blessed Land," he murmured, his gaze fixed on the black stone he had placed in his aperture.


The black stone was already full of cracks.


"As a mortal, I couldn't sense him, but now that I am an immortal, I will ensure nothing like this will ever happen again."


A smile slowly spread across his face as he looked up at the sky, envisioning all the benefits he could gain from the Northern Plains. "Now it's time for the next step."
