The Next Day
When Fang Yuan woke up, he felt completely refreshed.
His mind was sharp, his body re-energized, and his condition was at its peak.
"Little Hu?" He stomped his foot, summoning her.
Swoosh!
Little Hu Immortal tore through space and appeared before him.
"Master! Good morning!"
"I've managed the blessed land well, and no one has entered!" She puffed up her chest with pride, her big eyes sparkling with satisfaction.
"Good job." Fang Yuan gave her a nod of approval, noticing how she beamed at his words.
"Oh right, master! Three letters arrived—they were sent through the loophole," Little Hu Immortal suddenly remembered, taking out three Gu worms and handing them to Fang Yuan.
The east area's separation had left behind a loophole. While it wasn't large enough for people to pass through yet, Gu worms could still slip in.
Fang Yuan glanced at the three Letter Gu worms, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
"So the three letters still arrived," he mused, shaking his head at the strange workings of fate.
The three Gu worms were all message carriers. One was the rank three Lightning Symbol Paper Crane Gu, another was the rank five Letter Sending Green Bird Gu, and the last was the rank three Flying Sword Letter Gu.
Without hesitation, Fang Yuan grabbed the Green Bird Gu first. The bird flapped its wings before transforming into a letter.
—It was from none other than Feng Jiu Ge!
Fang Yuan wasn't surprised in the slightest. The moment he saw the Green Bird Gu, he knew who it was from.
Feng Jiu Ge's letter was polite, his tone calm. He first expressed admiration for Fang Yuan, but soon got to the point—he wanted to arrange a battle between Fang Yuan and his daughter, Feng Jin Huang!
It seemed that ever since she returned to Spirit Affinity House, Feng Jin Huang had been moody and dispirited.
She had thrown herself into cultivation, determined to reclaim her pride. Eventually, she demanded a rematch, betting the glory of both Spirit Affinity House and Immortal Crane Sect!
"Feng Jiu Ge... he has a big role in the future, so I must give him some respect and reply to his message."
"I always hated those bastards who saw my messages but didn't reply... Why even open them?"
"Ahem, now, now, let's write a good message to Bro Feng Jiu Ge," Fang Yuan thought to himself, though a playful smile tugged at his lips....
Next, he picked up the Flying Sword Letter Gu.
The letter burst open—and what greeted him was a storm of curses and insults!
Every ancestor of Fang Yuan's was mentioned. Even the honor of Immortal Crane Sect was used as bait to provoke him.
At the end, the sender arrogantly threatened that if Fang Yuan didn't accept, he would spread the letter publicly, shaming him as a coward.
Fang Yuan calmly scanned the letter. A smirk played on his lips.
"The Immortal Clown—Jian Yi Sheng... truly worthy of the name!"
Jian Yi Sheng was a metal and sword path Gu Immortal from Central Continent, a demonic cultivator from Tian Ti Mountain. He had a reputation for being both cunning and cowardly.
In the 500 years A.I Chip's stored memories, Jian Yi Sheng had ambushed him many times, only to fail miserably.
Eventually, Fang Yuan retaliated by summoning a blood sea, forcing Jian Yi Sheng to hide like a rat for twenty years.
It wasn't until he was completely broken that he finally knelt before Fang Yuan, begging for mercy and throwing away all dignity as a Gu Immortal.
Now, Jian Yi Sheng was bravely challenging like he had no fear?
Ridiculous! The only reason is because Fang Yuan was a mortal while he was Immortal. Jian Yi Sheng was still a coward.
The reason was clear—pure misfortune on his part.

~FLASHBACK~
After Fang Yuan separated the east area of his blessed land.
"Hahaha! What a huge piece of blessed land! It's mine! Don't even think of snatching it from me!"
Jian Yi Sheng was ecstatic as he attempted to merge the discarded land into his own blessed land, hoping to expand his territory.
But just as he was about to succeed—
Boom!
A streak of lightning split the sky!
"Fuck!" Jian Yi Sheng cursed, but it was too late. The Blue Charm Lightning Shadow struck him directly, sending him flying like a ragdoll.
"Aaaaghh!! Fang Yuan, you little bastard! You set me up!" He roared in rage, tumbling through the air.
At the time, despite being a Gu Immortal, Jian Yi Sheng had no Immortal Gu in his possession. Against the Blue Charm Lightning Shadow, he was utterly powerless.
He barely managed to crawl back to his blessed land, beaten black and blue. Only after suffering immense losses did he finally rid himself of the lightning shadow.
Seething with humiliation, he counted his damages—each number fueling his anger further.
When he found out Fang Yuan was behind it, he immediately sent the Flying Sword Letter Gu, demanding a duel.

~Back to the PRESENT~
Fang Yuan chuckled, shaking his head.
"Hmph, he knows I'm still a mortal, yet he challenges me as a Gu Immortal?
And he dares to talk about fairness? He's so shameless that if shamelessness were a Dao path, he'd be a Venerable in it."
"...Now, from the two letters, it's pretty obvious they're all talking to me as an Immortal Crane Sect disciple."
"My true bro, He Feng Yang, is certainly doing his best for my sake. I feel so indebted to him," Fang Yuan mused with amusement.
"Could it be that he knows I'll become invincible in the future and wants to curry favor, just like in the novels I read before? Is he the MC's fat little brother in this world?"
He leaned back, an amused glint in his eyes as he began opening the next message—the Lightning Symbol Paper Crane Gu from He Feng Yang.
