Wang Xiao

Fang Yuan counts five rank five Gu Masters on San Cha mountain and places Wu Lan Shan and Wang Xiao both at rank five upper stage, below Tie Mu Bai, Ku Mo, and Wu Gui at rank five peak stage, and above Chou Jiu at rank five initial stage. ^{ch. 381}

Fang Yuan steps on Wang Xiao inside the blessed land and presses for the path into Wu mountain. Narration calls him a rank five upper stage Gu Master and a true regional emperor. Outside, ten Fang Yuans would not match him; here strength path Gu worms let Fang Yuan pin him. Wu mountain sits among Southern Border’s hundred thousand mountains, wrapped in fog with many false paths and one true entrance. He took that path, claimed the mountain’s spirit springs, beasts, and wild Gu, and used its defense to live as a regional emperor. ^{ch. 382}

He refuses the entrance at first, then offers a poison vow Gu deal once he sees beast strength placenta Gu devour Yun Luo Tian’s aperture. Fang Yuan refuses to waste time, breaks his right wrist and left kneecap, and still gets no answer. Narration paints him as cruel to enemies and strict on himself, sleeping on an ice water bed that sinks after six hours; other than eating, cleaning, and resting, all his other time was spent on cultivation. In Fang Yuan’s memories he later reaches Yi Tian mountain, spreads ruthlessness against righteous experts, and nearly vies for demonic head. Fang Yuan ends him rather than leave a threat while refining Gu, then takes his Gu and aperture. ^{ch. 382}

In a later pass Fang Yuan again stands over Wang Xiao while Wang Xiao begs to negotiate the Wu mountain path. Fang Yuan decides the new plan no longer needs that entrance, presses down, and smashes Wang Xiao’s head. Narration calls him a great expert, devious and cruel, cold and emotionless, and notes that forcing the true entrance would have needed Zhang San San’s rank five slavery Gu. Fang Yuan takes his Gu and uses beast strength placenta Gu on his and Yun Luo Tian’s apertures. ^{ch. 400}
