Chapter 1484

Fang Yuan’s rank six time path clone watched over dragon scale sea area, now the top sea area in the sovereign immortal aperture and his current focus, backed by a huge sum of invested funds. Among the swarming dragonfish, ordinary stock mixed with copper, iron, and a few silver dragonfish. The clone looked deeper and found his target. A tiny golden scaled dragonfish, no bigger than a palm, carried only food path dao marks and a true ancient desolate beast aura. Unlike other dragonfish, which could reach desolate beast at most, this one could become an ancient desolate beast, which the clone read as the species’ limit of development. ^{ch. 1484}

This ancient golden dragonfish acted as king of the dragonfish; once it appeared, every lower species followed and deferred to it. The clone judged he had less control over the group than it did. Even so, he still controlled the ancient golden dragonfish itself, so the chain of control down to the rest of the stock remained useful. Since dragonfish had no fighting strength, and even this ancient desolate beast ranked bottom tier in battle strength among its kind, the stock served only as goods, never as a combat force. ^{ch. 1484}

Half a month passed, and You Chan had a tough time. Though she had bred silver dragonfish with the help of Qin Bai He, Heavenly Court, and Fang Yuan’s own silver dragonfish, her production still could not match his scale as originator. He sold far more widely than she did. In white crane sea area, Qin Bai He celebrated an improved method that would raise their silver dragonfish production greatly, and You Chan, though haggard from half a month without rest, took heart. But You Chan admitted that even so, they could only reach parity with Fang Yuan, since innovating further was beyond their strength, and that only held if he made no newer species. ^{ch. 1484}

Fairy Zi Wei’s aim was to lure the two into becoming Heavenly Court pawns inside Eastern Sea ahead of the coming five regions chaotic war, though the two stayed very alert working with the outside region. She suspected the seller was Fang Yuan and meant to use him against them. His continued silence after the silver dragonfish unsettled her, since she reasoned that if the seller really was Fang Yuan, he definitely held a trump card in reserve. While she puzzled over this, You Chan suddenly sensed her dragonfish sea area’s Gu formation under attack and rushed there with Qin Bai He. They found the formation already half destroyed and the attacker still loading dragonfish into his aperture using only a controlled ancient desolate beast, the same golden dragonfish, rather than any immortal method. You Chan pieced the clues together and guessed the attacker was Fang Yuan just as he closed his aperture and turned to face them. He named himself and called it an act of kindness to let them know their killer’s name before dying, then trapped both fairies inside an immortal battlefield. ^{ch. 1484}
