<h1>Chapter 1</h1>
<p>“Fang Yuan, quietly hand over the Spring Autumn Cicada and I’ll give you a quick death!”</p>
<p>“Old bastard Fang, stop attempting to resist anymore, today all of the major factions of justice have combined together just to destroy your devil lair. This place is already covered in inescapable nets, this time you will definitely be decapitated!”</p>
<p>“Fang Yuan you damn demon, just because you wanted to cultivate the Spring Autumn Cicada, you’ve gone and killed thousands of people. You’ve committed too many unforgivable, heinous sins!”</p>
<p>“Demon, 300 years ago you insulted me, took away my body’s purity, killed my entire family and executed my nine generations. From that moment onwards, I hated you with a burning passion! Today, I want you to die!”</p>
<p>……</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was in deep green robes that had been torn to shreds. His hair was disheveled and his entire body was covered in blood. He looked around.</p>
<p>The bloody robes waved lightly in the mountain breeze like a war flag.</p>
<p>Fresh blood flowed from the numerous wounds on the body. Just by standing there for a short while, Fang Yuan had already accumulated a large pool of blood beneath his feet.</p>
<p>Enemies surrounded him all around; there was already no way out.</p>
<p>It was a forgone conclusion that he would die here.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan understood his situation clearly, but even in the face of death his expression did not change, it was calm.</p>
<p>His gaze was quiet, his eyes like deep pools of water in a well, so deep that there seemed to be no end.</p>
<p>The major factions of justice that had surrounded him were not just the experienced elders, but also young and talented heroes. Around the heavily surrounded Fang Yuan, some were roaring, some were sneering; there were eyes that were gleaming with light, some holding onto their wounds while looking on fearfully.</p>
<p>They did not move; everyone was wary of Fang Yuan’s final attack.</p>
<p>For 6 hours this tense moment went on until the evening came, the sun casting its rays upon the side of the mountain. In that moment, it was as if the place was on fire.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan, who had been silent as a sculpture the entire time, slowly turned his body.</p>
<p>The group of warriors was suddenly alerted and they all took a big step backwards.</p>
<p>By now the gray mountain rock beneath Fang Yuan’s feet had long been stained a deep red. Due to losing too much blood, his face had become deathly pale; in the afterglow of the sunset, it suddenly had a brilliant luster upon it.</p>
<p>Looking at the setting sun, Fang Yuan lightly laughed. “The sun sets above the blue mountain, the autumn moon with the wind of spring. The morning is fine like hair and night is like snow, whether you succeed or fail when you look back there’s nothing left.”</p>
<p>As he said this, memories of his previous life on Earth emerged before his eyes.</p>
<p>He was originally a Chinese scholar on Earth who chanced upon this world. He endured a hard life for 300 years and went through another 200 years; about over 500 years of his life flew by in the blink of an eye.</p>
<p>So many memories that were buried deep inside the heart begun to relive themselves, sprouting into life before his eyes.</p>
<p>“I failed in the end.” Fang Yuan sighed in his heart emotionally, yet there were no regrets.</p>
<p>This end result was something he had foreseen. When he made his decision in the beginning, he had prepared himself for this.</p>
<p>To be a demon is to be merciless and cruel, a murderer and destroyer. There is no place in heaven or earth for such a thing – turning into an enemy to the world, still having to face the consequences.</p>
<p>“If the Spring Autumn Cicada that I have just cultivated is effective, I shall still be a demon in my next life!” With this thought, Fang Yuan couldn’t help but let out a big laugh.</p>
<p>“Wicked demon, what are you laughing about?”</p>
<p>“Be careful everyone, the demon is going to attack before his final moments!”</p>
<p>“Hurry up and surrender the Spring Autumn Cicada!!”</p>
<p>The group of warlords surged forward; at this moment, with a loud bang, Fang Yuan was engulfed in a blinding surge of energy.</p>
<p>……</p>
<p>The spring rain quietly rained down on Qing Mao Mountain.</p>
<p>It was already late in the night, a slight breeze blowing with the light rain.</p>
<p>Yet Qing Mao Mountain was not covered in darkness; from the side down to the foot of the mountain, dozens of tiny lights shone like a bright band.</p>
<p>These lights shone from tall buildings, even though it could not be said to match up to ten thousand lights, yet it was still a few thousand in number.</p>
<p>Situated on the mountain was Gu Yue<a href="footnote.xhtml#fn0001_01" id="fn0001_01"><sup>1</sup></a> Village, giving the vast lonely mountain a rich touch of human civilization.</p>
<p>In the middle of the Gu Yue Village was a magnificent pavilion. A grand ceremony was being held at this moment, and the lights were even brighter than ever, radiating with glory.</p>
<p>“Ancestors, please bless us! We pray that this ceremony will bring many young men of outstanding talent and intelligence, bringing their families new blood and hopes!” The head of the Gu Yue clan had a middle-aged appearance, his sideburns were graying and he was clothed in ceremonial white robes, kneeling on the brownish yellow floor. His body was straight with his hands held together, eyes tightly shut as he prayed sincerely.</p>
<p>He was facing a tall black case; there were three layers on the case, all housing memorial tablets of ancestors. On both sides of the tablets was copper incense, the smoke rising.</p>
<p>Behind him were over 10 people kneeling in a similar fashion as him. They wore loose white ceremonial garments, and were all the clan’s elders, important members, and those who had much authority.</p>
<p>After finishing prayers, the Gu Yue clan head bent his waist with his two hands pressing against the floor and kowtowed. As the forehead knocked against the brownish yellow floor, light thuds could be heard.</p>
<p>Behind him, the elders and important clan members solemnly and quietly followed suit.</p>
<p>With this, the hall was filled with light thuds as the heads knocked against the floor.</p>
<p>When the ceremony was over, the crowd of people slowly got up from the ground and silently walked out of the sacred temple.</p>
<p>In the hallway, sighs of reliefs were heard from the crowd of elders and the atmosphere loosened up. The noise of discussion slowly rose.</p>
<p>“Time flies too quickly, in the blink of an eye, a year has gone by.”</p>
<p>“The previous ceremony feels like it just happened yesterday, I can still recall it vividly.”</p>
<p>“Tomorrow is the opening of the annual grand ceremony, I wonder what new clan blood will show up this year?”</p>
<p>“Ah, I hope that some highly talented youths will appear. The Gu Yue clan hasn’t seen a genius emerge for three years now.”</p>
<p>“Agreed. The Bai Village, Xiong Village these few years all had some talented geniuses appear. Especially that Bai Ning Bing from the Bai clan, his natural talent is quite terrifying.”</p>
<p>It was unclear who had brought up the name Bai Ning Bing, but the faces of the elders started to show worry.</p>
<p>The boy’s qualifications were splendid; in just a short period of two years worth of training, he had already reached the level of a level three Gu Master.</p>
<p>In the younger generation, he could be said as the most outstanding one. It was to the point that even the older generation could feel pressured from the promising youth.</p>
<p>In time, he would inevitably become the pillar of the Bai clan. At the very least he would also be an independently strong warrior. No one ever doubted this fact.</p>
<p>“But for this year’s youths that will be participating in the ceremony, not all hope is lost.”</p>
<p>“You’re right, Fang Zhi’s side has appeared a young genius. Able to start talking after three months, able to walk after four. At five years of age he was able to recite poetry, seems exceptionally intelligent, especially talented. What a pity that his parents died early, now he is being raised by his uncle and aunt.”</p>
<p>“Yes, this one has wisdom at a young age, also harboring big ambitions. In the recent years I have heard his creations ‘Jiang Jing Jiu’, ‘Yong Mei’ and ‘Jiang Cheng Zi’, what a genius!”</p>
<p>The Gu Yue clan head was the last to walk out of the ancestral temple. After slowly closing the door, he heard the discussions that were going on in the corridor among the clan elders.</p>
<p>He knew at once that the elders were discussing about the youth known as Gu Yue Fang Yuan at that moment.</p>
<p>As the head of the clan, it is natural to pay attention to the outstanding and prominent young ones. And it so happens that Gu Yue Fang Yuan was the most eye-catching one amongst the juniors.</p>
<p>Experience has shown that those who have photographic memory at a young age, or those who possess strength that could rival an adult, or had other great inborn talents, all had outstanding cultivation qualifications.</p>
<p>“If this child shows A grade potential, with great care he could even compete against Bai Ning Bing. Even if it is B grade, in future he could also become a banner of the Gu Yue Clan. But with this sort of early intelligence, the percentage of B grade is not that big, but highly possible to be an A grade.” With this thought, the Gu Yue clan head curled up his lips slowly into a smile.</p>
<p>At once, with a cough he faced the clan elders and said, “Everyone, the hour is late, for tomorrow’s opening ceremony you should all rest well tonight and take care of your energy levels.”</p>
<p>At his words, the elders looked startled. They looked at each other with a hint of caution in their eyes.</p>
<p>The clan head’s words meant well, but everyone knew what he was aiming to convey.</p>
<p>Every year to compete for these young geniuses, the elders would fight among themselves to the point of reddened ears and bleeding heads.</p>
<p>They should stay well rested and replenish themselves until tomorrow comes where the competition begins.</p>
<p>Especially with that Gu Yue Fang Yuan, whose A grade potential was extremely huge. Not counting the fact that both his parents were deceased, and also that he was one of the two only descendants of Fang Zhi’s bloodline left. If one was able to get their hands on and bring him into their own family line, with great care and training, one could secure himself a hundred years of prosperity!</p>
<p>“However, I’m going to go ahead and say what needs to be said first. When you compete, do it fair and square; no tricks and conspiracies are allowed, or damage to the clan’s unity. Please keep this in mind, all of you!” The clan head strictly instructed.</p>
<p>“We wouldn’t dare, we wouldn’t dare.”</p>
<p>“We’ll keep it in mind.”</p>
<p>“Then this is good night, please take care.”</p>
<p>The clan elders slowly dispersed with deep thoughts.</p>
<p>Not long after that, the long corridor became quiet. The wind from the spring rain breezed through the window, and the clan head lightly walked towards the window.</p>
<p>Immediately, he breathed in the fresh moist air of the mountain, how refreshing it felt.</p>
<p>This was the third floor of the garret; the clan head looked out of the window. He could see half of the entire Gu Yue Village.</p>
<p>Even if it was late in the night, most of the homes in the village still had lights on, which was unusual.</p>
<p>Tomorrow is the opening ceremony, and it affects everyone’s best interests. A kind of excited yet tense atmosphere had enveloped the hearts of the people of the clan, and thus naturally many people could not sleep well.</p>
<p>“This is the hopes for the clan’s future.” With the many lights dancing in his eyes, the clan head sighed.</p>
<p>At the very same moment, a pair of clear eyes quietly looked at the same lights sparkling in the night, full of complex feelings inside.</p>
<p>“Gu Yue Village, this is 500 years ago?! Looks like the Spring Autumn Cicada really worked…” Fang Yuan quietly gazed, standing by the window, letting the rain from the wind hit his body.</p>
<p>The use of the Spring Autumn Cicada is to reverse time. In the Ten Big Mystical <em>Gu</em> rankings, the Spring Autumn Cicada managed to be ranked seven, naturally it was no mere creature.</p>
<p>In short, it is the ability to be reborn.</p>
<p>“With the use of the Spring Autumn Cicada I have been reborn, going back to the time of 500 years ago!” Fang Yuan stretched out his hand, his sight fixated on his own young and soft, pale palms, then slowly clenched them, embracing the truth of this reality with all his might.</p>
<p>The sound of the drizzling rain hitting softly against the window sill filling his ears, he slowly closed his eyes, opening them after a long while. He sighed, “500 years of experience, it really feels like a dream.”</p>
<p>But he knew it clearly: This was definitely not a dream.</p>

<h1>Chapter 10</h1>
<p>Pitter patter…</p>
<p>Big, heavy raindrops fell to the earth, battering the roof of the verdant bamboo house, making brittle sounds.</p>
<p>The surface of the pond in front of the building was full of ripples as the rain fell, the fish in the water swimming lively around, the aquatic plants swaying about at the bottom of the pond. The sky was overcast; a thick rain curtain obscured the field of vision as far as the eye could see.</p>
<p>In the somewhat dim room the window was open, and Fang Yuan quietly watched the heavy rainfall, sighing.</p>
<p>“It has already been 3 days and 3 nights.”</p>
<p>On the night 3 days ago he had walked out of the village with two jars of wine, searching around the surroundings. But when it was late into the night it started pouring rain. Put aside him being drenched to the bones, the main point was that in the situation he could not go about searching anymore.</p>
<p>The rainwater would quickly wash away the wine fragrance. At the same time if he forced himself to search under such conditions, it might arouse suspicions. Although previously he pretended to become a depressed drunken person to cover up his real motives, but he knew never to underestimate the intelligence of others around him. Only a fool would think others were stupid.</p>
<p>Thus under this helplessness, Fang Yuan could only stop his search.</p>
<p>Not too mention that the moment it started raining, the rain had went on continuously. Sometimes it became heavier and sometimes lighter, but it never stopped.</p>
<p>“I guess in this way, I won’t be able to find the Liquor worm for a short period of time. To be safe I can only choose to start refining the Moonlight <em>Gu</em>. While I refine it, if I can find the Liquor worm during the process it would be the best, but if I can’t then this would have to do. But this matter is very common; a storm may arise from a clear sky, something unexpected may happen anytime. In this world who can do everything without obstacles in his way, having a perfect journey?”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s thoughts were very calm; his 500 years of experience had long washed away the impulsiveness that he rarely had in the first place.</p>
<p>He closed the door and window and sat cross-legged on his bed. He closed his eyes slowly and after breathing a few times, he calmed his state of mind.</p>
<p>In the next moment the vision of his primeval aperture appeared in his mind. The aperture may be positioned inside his body but it was mysteriously unusual, limitlessly big and yet infinitely small. The outer layer of the aperture was a layer of light. The white light gave a thin impression, but it still supported the aperture well.</p>
<p>In the aperture was a sea of primeval essence. The seawater was a green copper color, the surface of the sea clear and calm as a mirror. The water level was about half the height of the aperture. The entire volume of the sea occupied 44% of the aperture.</p>
<p>This was the green copper primeval sea of a Rank one <em>Gu</em> Master, and every drop of seawater was primeval essence. It was Fang Yuan’s life elementary force and the condensation of his essence, vitality and soul.</p>
<p>Every drop of primeval essence was precious, because it was the root of a <em>Gu</em> Master, and was the source of power. <em>Gu</em> Masters need to rely on primeval essence to refine and use <em>Gu</em>.</p>
<p>As he retreated his mind from the primeval sea, Fang Yuan opened his eyes retrieved the Moonlight <em>Gu.</em> The Moonlight <em>Gu</em> quietly sat in the middle of his palm, resembling a curved blue moon, small and crystalline.</p>
<p>With a simple thought, the primeval sea in his aperture tumbled and a jet of primeval essence broke from the sea surface and transferred out of the body, finally rushing into the Moonlight <em>Gu.</em> The Moonlight <em>Gu</em> suddenly radiated fiercely in blue light, slightly trembling in Fang Yuan’s palm, resisting the influx of primeval essence.</p>
<p><em>Gu</em> are the essence of heaven and earth, carrying the secrets of the world, the bearers of the law of nature. They are living creatures that live freely under the sky, each born with a will of its own. Right now with Fang Yuan trying to refine it, it would mean wiping out its will. Feeling the danger looming, the Moonlight <em>Gu</em> naturally resisted.</p>
<p>The process of refining is a very difficult one.</p>
<p>The Moonlight <em>Gu</em> was like a curved crescent moon. As the green copper primeval essence poured into the crescent, the two pointed ends of the crescent turned green. Slowly this green copper essence began to spread to the middle of the crescent moon.</p>
<p>In less than three minutes, Fang Yuan’s face had become pale. A huge volume of primeval essence continuously poured into the Moonlight <em>Gu</em>, making him feel a weakness that rapidly attacked his heart.</p>
<p>1%, 2%, 3%… 8%, 9%, 10%.</p>
<p>Ten minutes later, Fang Yuan’s primeval sea had used away 10% of primeval essence. Yet on the blue crystalline Moonlight <em>Gu</em>’s surface, the points of green copper essence on the two tips of the crescent only expanded a tiny little area towards the center.</p>
<p>The resistance of the Moonlight <em>Gu</em> was immensely strong. Fortunately Fang Yuan had anticipated this earlier and did not feel surprised. He persisted and poured in more essence into the Moonlight <em>Gu.</em></p>
<p>1%, 2%, 3%…</p>
<p>After another twenty minutes, the primeval sea in Fang Yuan’s body was only left with 14%. The green copper essence on the Moonlight <em>Gu</em> had expanded slightly, the two tips of green essence adding up together covering the surface of the Moonlight <em>Gu</em> by about 1/12. The rest of the Moonlight <em>Gu</em>’s surface was still the original color of light blue.</p>
<p>“Refining a <em>Gu</em> is so hard,” Fang Yuan sighed as he looked at it. He broke the influx of primeval essence, stopping the refining process.</p>
<p>Up until now, he had been refining for half an hour, the primeval sea in his aperture consumed over more than half, with only 14% of primeval essence left. And the Moonlight <em>Gu</em> was only refined by 1/12 of it.</p>
<p>To make matters worse the Moonlight <em>Gu</em> was still emitting its faint blue halo. Even though Fang Yuan had stopped refining, the Moonlight <em>Gu</em> did not stop resisting; it was still driving out Fang Yuan’s green coppery primeval essence.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan could clearly feel that the primeval essence that he poured into the Moonlight <em>Gu</em> was being pushed out, bit by bit by the Moonlight <em>Gu</em> out of its body. On its surface, the green copper essence at the two tips of the moon crescent was slowly shrinking.</p>
<p>Based on this speed of reduction, in about six hours later the Moonlight <em>Gu</em> would be able to completely expel all of Fang Yuan’s primeval essence. At that time when he needed to refine this <em>Gu</em> it would make no difference from starting over again.</p>
<p>“Every time when refining <em>Gu</em>, it is just like a fight between two armies, a battle of positional warfare, or war of attrition. Even though I refined 1/12 of the <em>Gu,</em> I wasted three quarters of my primeval essence. When refining <em>Gu</em>, a <em>Gu</em> Master has to replenish his primeval sea while continuously engaging the refinement process, consolidating his victory. The refinement of a <em>Gu</em> is a test of one’s skill in shifting his primeval essence and the patience of an enduring battle.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan took out a piece of primeval stone from his moneybag as he pondered.</p>
<p>A <em>Gu</em> Master had two ways to replenish the consumed primeval essence. The first way was natural recovery. After a period of time the primeval sea would naturally replenish the primeval essence. In the case of a C grade talent like Fang Yuan, it would take about one hour to replenish 4% of primeval essence. In six hours it could recover 24% points of the total quantity primeval essence.</p>
<p>The second way was to absorb the natural essence directly from a primeval stone.</p>
<p>The primeval stone is a treasure from nature itself. As condensed natural primeval essence, while absorbing it the water level of the primeval sea was rising with a continuous speed that could be seen with the naked eye.</p>
<p>After about half an hour the primeval sea had been replenished back to its original volume of 44%. At this level the rising water level of the sea stopped abruptly. Even though there was still space inside the aperture, Fang Yuan could not store any more primeval essence. This was the limit of his C grade talent.</p>
<p>Thus from here one can see the significance of the grade of one’s cultivation talent. The higher the talent, the more primeval essence the aperture can hold, and the faster the natural recovery of the primeval essence will be.</p>
<p>In Fang Yuan’s case to refine a <em>Gu</em> and solidify his results, he would have to absorb primeval stones because his primeval essence natural recovery rate cannot defeat the rate of the Moonlight <em>Gu</em> expelling it out.</p>
<p>However in the case of the A grade talent Fang Zheng, he could replenish 8% of primeval essence every hour. In six hours he would recover 48% of primeval essence, and in the same time frame the Moonlight <em>Gu</em> could only expel away 3% points of primeval essence. Fang Zheng did not require the external help of a primeval stone. He could go on refining with a few rests in the process and successfully refine the Moonlight <em>Gu</em> in a few days.</p>
<p>That was why Fang Yuan knew from the beginning that in this test, to refine the Moonlight <em>Gu</em> he never had the chance to obtain the first position. It had nothing to do with a person’s actual strength, as the first factor was the grade of talent.</p>
<p>The second factor would be primeval stones. If there was an abundance of primeval stones, without hesitation to consume, a B grade talent could also surpass an A grade talent and obtain the first position.</p>
<p>“In my hands are six pieces of primeval stones. I cannot compare to Gu Yue Mo Bei or Gu Yue Chi Chen, these kinds of people who have their elder family members supporting them from behind. My talent is on C grade, and cannot be compared to Fang Zheng who has an A grade talent. I never had a chance of winning in this test. Why not divert my energy and go look for the Liquor worm? If I can make the Liquor Worm into my vital <em>Gu</em> it would be so much better than the Moonlight <em>Gu</em>. Hmm? The sound of rain outside the window has gotten lighter, there seems to be a sign of ceasing. The rain has been ongoing for three days and three nights, it should be time it stopped.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan kept the Moonlight <em>Gu</em> and got down from his bed. As he was about to open the window, there was a knock on the door.</p>
<p>Outside the door came his servant Shen Cui’s voice, “Young master Fang Yuan, its me. It has been raining straight for three days, so I brought you some food and wine. Young master can eat and drink and ease some depressed feelings.”</p>

<h1>Chapter 100</h1>
<p>In the blink of an eye, ten more days passed.</p>
<p>Deep in the mountain, in the underground rock forest.</p>
<p>Squeakkkkk!</p>
<p>Tens of jade eye stone monkeys jumped in the air with blurred silhouettes.</p>
<p>They continued to leap and attacked Fang Yuan aggressively.</p>
<p>If it was like before, Fang Yuan would retreat without a doubt. But now, he stood on the spot with a cold expression, still like a rock.</p>
<p>The stone monkeys slammed, scratched, and bit Fang Yuan’s body, but a crisp ‘ding ding’ sound could be heard, as if they were not attacking a person, but a sturdy jade pillar.</p>
<p>A bright white jade light covered the area as it attached itself to Fang Yuan’s body. This light, although it was thinner than the Jade Skin Gu’s jade green glow, it had more than twice of the defensive power.</p>
<p>Jade Skin Gu’s defense can only handle up to sixteen monkeys’ simultaneous attack, but now Fang Yuan could face off against more than thirty monkeys alone.</p>
<p>“On the arena, I could break Fang Zheng’s Jade Skin Gu’s defense with my bare fists, but if Fang Zheng used this White Jade Gu, even if I broke my wrist bone, I would not be able to penetrate his defenses.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan pondered while diverting a part of his thoughts towards his aperture sea.</p>
<p>In the red steel primeval sea, the White Jade Gu sank to the bottom of the sea, constantly absorbing primeval essence. Its surface also emitted a faint white jade glow, like a lightbulb.</p>
<p>Every time the stone monkeys attack Fang Yuan, the White Jade Gu’s surface which resembled an oval pebble would flash faintly.</p>
<p>At the same time, Fang Yuan could feel a trace of his primeval essence being expended.</p>
<p>“White Jade Gu’s defense is the same type as the Jade Skin Gu, they both require a continuous source of primeval essence. At the same time, the greater the intensity of the attack, the more primeval essence is expended.” Fang Yuan concluded in his heart.</p>
<p>At the same time, he counterattacked.</p>
<p>Punches and kicks kicked up a sandstorm. His strikes were simple, yet brutal and effective with an imposing aura.</p>
<p>Although the White Boar Gu was gone, the strength it gave to Fang Yuan still remained in his body.</p>
<p>Endless monkeys were hit by Fang Yuan. Some were kicked away, knocking on the stone pillar; some were killed in midair, turning into stone and breaking into fragments when they landed on the ground.</p>
<p>At the same time, with a flick of his wrist, Fang Yuan sent moonblades flying around, like the scythe of the reaper, harvesting the lives of the stone monkeys.</p>
<p>With the supply of red steel primeval essence, the Rank one Moonlight Gu could cause the greatest attack damage to the monkeys with every hit.</p>
<p>Squeak squeak…</p>
<p>The stone monkeys screamed in fright, retreating.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had exterminated the stone monkeys in a short moment of counterattack, with only five or six remaining.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan killed another, and the remaining stone monkeys broke down, frantically running around and escaping deep into the stone forest.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan did not chase these escapees, but continued forwards deeper into the stone forest.</p>
<p>These days, he had been working hard to find the next clue for the inheritance. With continuous exploring, he had stepped foot on most of the areas around the stone forest, but did not find anything.</p>
<p>He had a hunch, vaguely guessing the Flower Wine Monk’s idea. He felt that the next step of the inheritance was likely linked to the most central area of the stone forest.</p>
<p>The deeper he got into the forest, the larger the stone pillars were, and the more stone monkeys lived inside them.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan walked as he observed — at the center of the stone forest, there was a large stone pillar. Its circumference was wider than tens of men surrounding it and attempting to hug it.</p>
<p>This stone pillar was his objective.</p>
<p>But, the deeper he got, the larger the monkey gangs, and the higher the difficulty.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan took a crucial step out and entered the alert zone of a group of monkeys.</p>
<p>Squeak squeak squeak!</p>
<p>The black caves in the stone pillar had emerging furious jade eye stone monkeys, and up to a hundred jumped in Fang Yuan’s direction.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan ran for his life.</p>
<p>Against so many monkeys, even with the White Jade Gu, he could not massacre them.</p>
<p>The stone monkeys chased Fang Yuan for a while, then some started to abandon the chase and turned around, going back to their caves. Eventually, only thirty or so monkeys trailed after Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan seeing the time was right, turned around and fought.</p>
<p>After a round of fighting, the last few monkeys ran and escaped, not even daring to return to their original caves.</p>
<p>After a few rounds, Fang Yuan killed over a hundred stone monkeys. On the road there were traces of broken stones from the corpses of the stone monkeys.</p>
<p>“Insufficient primeval essence.” Fang Yuan inspected his primeval sea and sighed, forced to stop in his tracks.</p>
<p>If it was before, he would use his primeval stones to recover swiftly, but now, after fusing the White Jade Gu, he had a severe lack of primeval stones, or rather his entire finance was on the brink of collapsing.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan picked up the jade rock eyeballs and stuffed them into his bag.</p>
<p>“It should be at the bottom of the center of that rock pillar. But to reach there, I have to open a path.” This feeling was getting more intense, Fang Yuan gave it one last look before opening the stone door and returning to the second secret room.</p>
<p>At the corner of the hidden room, there were some items.</p>
<p>A small bag with hundreds of eyeball jades. Fang Yuan opened the bag and poured his loot in from today.</p>
<p>The jade pearls collided with one another, emitting a crisp sound.</p>
<p>There was another bag, and wild boar tusks were inside. But now Fang Yuan no longer needed to slaughter wild boars.</p>
<p>He used the White Boar Gu and the Jade Skin Gu to refine the White Jade Gu. The White Boar Gu had disappeared, and reduced his necessity for pork to 0.</p>
<p>The new White Jade Gu was more like the Jade Skin Gu, it consumed jade rocks.</p>
<p>Jade Skin Gu needed two liang of jade rocks every ten days. While the White Jade Gu needed eight liang of jade rocks every twenty days.</p>
<p>Normally speaking, the higher the rank, the longer interval there is for each meal. Rank two Gu usually feed every half a month, while Rank three Gu feed every month, or longer.</p>
<p>Of course, higher ranking Gu also consume more food. On average, the White Jade Gu consumed more in cost than the Jade Skin Gu and the White Boar Gu combined.</p>
<p>But to Fang Yuan, he had this rock forest and did not lack jade rocks. At the same time he did not need pork, so he did not need to kill wild boars, thus this saved him a lot of trouble and a lot of time.</p>
<p>Tying the little bag up, Fang Yuan picked up a bullskin water sack.</p>
<p>Inside the water sack, there was golden honey wine inside. A few days ago, Fang Yuan had relied on the Jade Skin Gu and endured the bees’ attacks, and gathered enough honey wine.</p>
<p>“I only have two and a half primeval stones left, it is time to go to the internal affairs hall and turn in the mission.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan kept the water sack well and returned to the tunnel, squeezing out of the rock crack and returning to the outside world.</p>
<p>It was sunset now.</p>
<p>The golden sunset of winter was in fact not cold, the weather bright and fair. The setting sun emerged with comfortable rays of a red-orange colour, the exquisite sunlight passing through the crown of pine trees and shining onto the mountain floor.</p>
<p>Walking alone, he headed towards the village.</p>
<p>Yet Fang Yuan did not go directly, but took a few reroutes to prevent the rock crack from being found out.</p>
<p>Winter wind blew on his face, this was the smell of freedom.</p>
<p>Back in the academy, he could only sneak out at night. Now that he was Rank two, he could move about freely in the day without any suspicion.</p>
<p>More importantly, the death of sickly snake and the others allowed Fang Yuan to move alone with fewer restraints.</p>
<p>The only thing is, Fang Yuan was now alone without any supporting group members. The following clan mission which occurs monthly, he had to complete one at least, and that would be difficult.</p>
<p>Now, after the small beast horde, all the groups had regrouped. Fang Yuan had missed the chance.</p>
<p>Because of his reputation, Fang Yuan was also ostracized by the Gu Masters. Joining other small groups was not going to be easy.</p>
<p>“So what if I’m left out, the more I float around at the brink, the less attention is on me, and the more advantageous it is for me. As for the clan mission, it is mandatory so I have to take it. But…”</p>
<p>Thinking of this, Fang Yuan’s eyes shone with cold light, he had plans already.</p>
<p>The clan mandates that every Gu Master had to accept a mission every month, but did not force them to complete it.</p>
<p>Being unable to complete the mission will result in falling evaluation. This was something no Gu Master wanted to see, thus they did their all to complete the missions.</p>
<p>But to Fang Yuan, this evaluation was crap!</p>
<p>Walking into the village, there was an endless stream of people walking along the limestone paths of the streets.</p>
<p>At this time, it is normally the peak period.</p>
<p>Many Gu Masters complete their missions with injuries and whatnot, returning to the village. After working for a day, farmers drag their muddy feet and tired bodies, quietly moving along.</p>
<p>In this world, living was not easy, it was full of pain and suffering.</p>
<p>The setting sun slowly dropped below the mountain top, giving out the last ray of warm light. This light would be diminished by the unevenly criss-crossed branches of the withering trees, becoming the fragments of time scattered upon the green jade walls of bamboo houses.</p>
<p>“Oh no, my toy,” a girl cried out, chasing her spinning top among the crowd.</p>
<p>The spinning top rolled to Fang Yuan’s feet, and the girl also hit Fang Yuan’s leg, falling on the ground.</p>
<p>“Sorry, sorry! For offending lord Gu Master, please pardon us!” The little girl’s father hurried over. When he saw Fang Yuan’s clothing, his expression was white as paper, bringing the little girl and kneeling down, kowtowing to Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>The girl cried out of shock, pearls of tears trailing down her white and rosy face.</p>
<p>The walking mortals upon seeing this scene, turned away and avoided them like the plague.</p>
<p>Some Gu Masters stared coldly, before turning away and leaving.</p>
<p>“Stop crying, you troublemaker!” The father was frightened, angry and afraid, moving his hand to give her a slap, but Fang Yuan grabbed his hand, not allowing any movement.</p>
<p>“Just a small matter, no worries.” Fang Yuan laughed lightly, touching the little girl’s head, softly consoling, “Don’t be afraid, it is okay.”</p>
<p>The girl stopped crying, using her teary eyes to look at Fang Yuan, thinking this big brother was really gentle.</p>
<p>“Thank you lord, thank you lord for your kindness!” The girl’s father was overjoyed, kowtowing to Fang Yuan without a break.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan continued forward.</p>
<p>His rented house was not far away.</p>
<p>And on the ground floor of that bamboo house, his uncle Gu Yue Dong Tu stood, staring at Fang Yuan who was still a distance away, evidently waiting for him.</p>

<h1>Chapter 1000</h1>
<p>His master, rank seven lone cultivator Old Man Yue Xia, was sitting cross-legged on a mat. He remained unmoved and had his eyes closed, even after hearing Lu Zuan Feng’s words.</p>
<p>After a long while, Xiao clan’s ancestor spoke again from outside the cave: “Brother Yue Xia, I am willing to add in ten heavenly dragon pearls, please help me.”</p>
<p>Old Man Yue Xia slowly opened his eyes and said to Lu Zuan Feng: “Disciple, go to Yi Tian Mountain and solve this crisis for Xiao Shan.”</p>
<p>Lu Zuan Feng hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed three times to Old Man Yue Xia.</p>
<p>“Master, this disciple shall leave.”</p>
<p>Although he said this, Lu Zuan Feng was still kneeling down on the ground, and did not show any signs of getting up.</p>
<p>Old Man Yue Xia smiled: “Your crafty nature, I can see right through it.”</p>
<p>He then blew cold air towards Lu Zuan Feng.</p>
<p>The cold air seeped into Lu Zuan Feng’s belly, and lingered there without dispersing.</p>
<p>“This Immortal Gu can protect you. Go now.”</p>
<p>Lu Zuan Feng was joyous, kowtowing three more times before getting up and cheekily speaking: “I was actually thinking in the interests of master. As a disciple, losing my life is not important, but then master would have no one to serve him, what to do then? Master has shown me great benevolence, I still haven’t returned it, so how could I die so easily?”</p>
<p>“Go now, go.” Old Man Yue Xia sighed, repeatedly waving his hand at Lu Zuan Feng.</p>
<p>Wu Shen Tong led the beast group to attack Yi Tian Mountain, Yi Tian Village, which only had its foundations constructed, was destroyed.</p>
<p>The demonic side’s morale fell sharply, Xiao Shan was determined to fight back to the death.</p>
<p>But on that very evening, the rank five Gu Master Lu Zuan Feng infiltrated the righteous path’s camp and assassinated Wu Shen Tong, bringing his head back to Yi Tian Mountain.</p>
<p>Xiao Shan was ecstatic, saying to Lu Zuan Feng: “Brother Lu is magnanimous, thanks to brother Lu, all of us were saved.”</p>
<p>Lu Zuan Feng was a quick-witted person, immediately cupping his fists, replying in a cordial manner: “Brother Xiao exaggerates, I only took advantage of an opportunity. If not for brother Xiao and the other comrades fighting with all you have and inflicting heavy injuries to Wu Shen Tong, how could I have easily taken his life? Out of the total contribution, I can only account for ten percent, and the other ninety would go to everyone here.”</p>
<p>When they heard such words, everyone immediately had a much better impression of Lu Zuan Feng.</p>
<p>Xiao Shan’s heart sank, he was not able to ruin Lu Zuan Feng’s fame by overpraising him, so he quickly changed his words to stabilize and pull Lu Zuan Feng to Yi Tian Village.</p>
<p>Like this, the righteous path’s first wave of offense collapsed under the attacks of Xiao Shan, Lu Zuan Feng and the rest.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was staying on the sidelines, not caring any less about this situation, viewing it coldly with the stance of a bystander and not provoking any doubts.</p>
<p>He thought of the information gathered during his previous life.</p>
<p>“It seems in this life as well, due to Wu Shen Tong being heavily injured and Xiao Shan’s situation being critical, Xiao clan’s ancestor sought Old Man Yue Xia’s help.”</p>
<p>“This Old Man Yue Xia is a well-known lone immortal of Southern Border, with some friction against Wu clan. And with Xiao clan’s ancestor giving him heavy payment, he was able to increase his wager, letting Lu Zuan Feng enter Yi Tian Mountain early on. And the female immortal from Wu clan, Wu Dang Zhi, had lost her chess piece because of this scheme, although she had refined much of the battle will, her loss was the greatest.”</p>
<p>“Righteous and demonic paths are fighting on Yi Tian Mountain, but the masterminds are the Southern Border Gu Immortals behind them. Mortals are like ants…”</p>
<p>“Let them continue scheming against each other, after this battle, the amount of battle will I have refined has already surpassed Xiao Shan, becoming the highest!”</p>
<p>Like this, Fang Yuan was silently earning a fortune, the battle will he refined secretly continued to grow, but no one noticed.</p>
<p>Time passed, the second wave of the righteous and demonic battle erupted.</p>
<p>After the first wave of offense, in which Wu Dang Zhi suffered a loss, she was still unreconciled.</p>
<p>Old Man Yue Xia had increased his wager, how could she not do that as well?</p>
<p>Therefore, she chose another person and allied with a Shang clan Gu Immortal, not repeating the previous mistake of fighting alone.</p>
<p>At the battlefield on Yi Tian Mountain, Wu clan’s Gu Masters attacked Yi Tian Mountain, at the same time during this attack, Shang clan’s two newly advanced elders, Yan Tu and Ju Kai Bei, also joined.</p>
<p>Both sides fought at the base of Yi Tian Mountain, having some wins and losses on either side, they were in a deadlock.</p>
<p>This time, Lan Mei He and Fei You Wang ascended the mountain, joining Yi Tian Village.</p>
<p>These two Gu Masters were not simple, they were famous flying masters in the world of Southern Border’s Gu Masters!</p>
<p>Yi Tian Village thus had the upper hand, and the righteous path members were forced back.</p>
<p>To resist Lan Mei He and Fei You Wang, the righteous path invited a female Gu Master, Hong Fei Yu, she was also a flying master, but belonged to the righteous path.</p>
<p>But Hong Fei Yu alone could not resist the combination of two flying masters of the demonic path.</p>
<p>Hong Fei Yu was at the moment between life and death, when Shang clan’s reinforcements rushed and arrived, it was the White Light Swordsman Wei Yang.</p>
<p>Wei Yang had been nurtured by Shang Yan Fei and had his aptitude raised, his cultivation level was at rank four initial stage. Not only did he save Hong Fei Yu, he even gained much fame.</p>
<p>After Hong Fei Yu was heavily injured and retreated, he fought against both Lan Mei He and Fei You Wang, eventually managing to stall for enough time until more reinforcements from the righteous path came, as Lan Mei He and Fei You Wang were forced to retreat.</p>
<p>After this battle, Wei Yang was acknowledged by both the righteous and demonic paths, joining the ranks of the flying masters. Southern Border’s three famous flying masters became four famous flying masters, with Wei Yang at the top.</p>
<p>With Wei Yang’s addition, the righteous and demonic battle entered another deadlock once again.</p>
<p>However, as Second Zombie King entered Yi Tian Mountain, enslavement path showed its might again, the righteous path lacked Wu Shen Tong and had no choice but to fall back.</p>
<p>Thereupon, the second righteous and demonic fight came to an end.</p>
<p>Behind the scenes of this were the Southern Border Gu Immortals plotting and conspiring, naturally the mortal Gu Masters could not imagine it.</p>
<p>The only one who was in the know on Yi Tian Mountain, Fang Yuan, was secretly earning a fortune, disregarding all of this.</p>
<p>With Huang Sha’s identity, he had gone on the battlefield and had encountered Wei Yang face to face.</p>
<p>This expert under Shang Yan Fei had once taken great care of Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing when they were in Shang clan city. Right now, Wei Yang’s growth was large, Fang Yuan, however, was already an immortal, it could be said that times had changed.</p>
<p>After this battle, Fang Yuan was already way ahead in the amount of battle will refined. The lead was so huge that even if all the Southern Border Gu Immortals added up their refined battle wills, it would still be slightly less than Fang Yuan’s.</p>
<p>Central Continent, Heavenly Lotus Sect.</p>
<p>Rumble…</p>
<p>Explosions resounded without an end.</p>
<p>All the surroundings within an enormous area had turned into a desolate land, sand rolling and covering the sky.</p>
<p>In the desolate land were many deep craters, some burned with fire, some had piles of ice, some was still letting out rumblings of thunder, a river of blood flowed wantonly in this battlefield.</p>
<p>Because of the battle between rank eights, the original mountainous terrain had completely changed.</p>
<p>This was the location of Heavenly Lotus Sect, and also home to famous mountains and rivers, possessing profound natural dao marks. Otherwise, the landscape would be even more severely ruined.</p>
<p>After a round of battle stopped, with Sword Immortal Bo Qing at the lead, Shadow Sect’s group retreated by some distance, panting roughly.</p>
<p>In front of them were three Immortal Gu Houses hovering in the air.</p>
<p>One was Canary Pavilion, which was delicate and exquisite. Another was Yue Yang Palace which shined with brilliant radiance.</p>
<p>However, the gazes of Shadow Sect’s group were focused on the central Immortal Gu House.</p>
<p>This Immortal Gu House was rank eight, named Heavenly Pool!</p>
<p>Looking from the outside, this was a pool with a small area, it could even be said to be among the world’s smallest Immortal Gu Houses!</p>
<p>But this Heavenly Pool was filled with green lotuses, some were in full bloom while some were closed.</p>
<p>However, in every lotus was a blessed land or grotto-heaven!</p>
<p>The rank eight Immortal Gu House, Heavenly Pool, was the base of Heavenly Lotus Sect, created by Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable, its greatest use was to store immortal apertures!</p>
<p>“If we can’t take down Heavenly Pool, these losses to Heavenly Lotus Sect can’t even be considered to be harming them.” Song Zi Xing said heavily.</p>
<p>“But it is too difficult to take down. Among the ten venerables, Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable was most specialized in healing and recovery. This Heavenly Pool has inherited his style to an exaggerated degree, if it is not broken apart in one attack, it can recover any severe losses in a short period of time.” Yu Mu Chun was solemn.</p>
<p>Immortal zombie Seven Star Child shook his head: “Not only Heavenly Pool, the other two Immortal Gu Houses are also very difficult to handle. And Bo Qing’s greatest weakness is already known and being used by them.”</p>
<p>Immortal zombie Bo Qing’s greatest weakness was Mo Yao’s remnant soul.</p>
<p>This remnant soul was the biggest shortcoming, its greatest flaw was that it was very easy to target.</p>
<p>In the previous life, Bo Qing had died and the soul inside was destroyed by Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals. This life, immortal zombie Bo Qing had even lost wisdom sword Gu, which had been a trump card against wisdom path methods when he was alive.</p>
<p>After losing this Gu, immortal zombie Bo Qing had to be even more cautious when fighting and was extremely passive.</p>
<p>“Let’s go! We have already achieved our goal of delaying them.” Immortal zombie Seven Star Child retreated first, his body turning into a rainbow light, quickly flying far away.</p>
<p>Bo Qing and the rest also followed closely behind.</p>
<p>“Escaping the judgment of fate and attacking one of the ten great ancient sects, such audacity, this is unpardonable! And you still want to leave?” Heavenly Lotus Sect’s three Immortal Gu Houses chased after them.</p>
<p>From within Heavenly Pool came Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord’s furious voice.</p>
<p>Seven Star Child’s expression changed slightly, saying to the other Gu Immortals: “In the current situation, someone has to bring up the rear and hold them off until the others can escape.”</p>
<p>“I will do it.” Immortal zombie Bo Qing immediately spoke.</p>
<p>“It is better if I do it. Azure, Blue and Song Zi Xing, you all have higher battle strength than me, you will be a lot more helpful to our crucial plan.” Yu Mu Chun had an indifferent expression while he volunteered to stay behind.</p>
<p>The other three immortals’ gazes flashed, and they quickly retreated without hesitation, leaving behind Yu Mu Chun to cover their retreat.</p>
<p>“Overestimating your ability!”</p>
<p>“Hehe, demonic path people specialize in treachery.”</p>
<p>“You think you can stop us, what gives you such blind confidence?”</p>
<p>The righteous path immortals angrily called out one after the other, the three Immortal Gu Houses nearing.</p>
<p>Yu Mu Chun looked at the approaching death calmly and with a smile: “You think we haven’t made any arrangements?”</p>
<p>Saying this, he fell to the ground, an enormous Gu formation gave a brilliant flash of light that reached to the sky.</p>
<p>The information about this battle was simply unable to be concealed by Central Continent. After Fang Yuan learned of the news, his gaze flickered, this event was already very different from his previous life, immortal zombie Bo Qing was still alive!</p>
<p>As such, he would naturally hold animosity against Fang Yuan, who had stolen his Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan sent his consciousness inside his sealed immortal aperture, in there was a mysterious Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>This Immortal Gu was one of the harvests Fang Yuan had reaped from Bo Qing’s immortal zombie body. But in fact, this Immortal Gu’s original owner was not Bo Qing but Mo Yao.</p>
<p>Because this Immortal Gu’s body was filled with Mo Yao’s will, Fang Yuan was able to quickly refine this Immortal Gu using Mo Yao’s fake will.</p>
<p>As for the other sword path Immortal Gu, their true owner was Bo Qing, with large amounts of his will in them. So when Fang Yuan used the same Gu formation, it would take a lot more time to refine these Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>“I can forget about these sword path Immortal Gu for now, they definitely cannot be used in this battle. As for this mysterious Immortal Gu, I have tried to inspect it over these last days, but unfortunately I did not gain anything even from Lang Ya land spirit’s end.”</p>
<p>“At present, the sixth wave of offense between righteous and demonic has already passed. The scale of my battle will in the Immortal Gu House probably is already over thirty times the total amount of the battle will of the Southern Border Gu Immortals. If I battle with them at this time, within less than fifteen minutes, I can clear out all their battle will.”</p>
<p>There were probably many among the Southern Border Gu Immortals who had wisdom path attainment.</p>
<p>But so what?</p>
<p>Not to mention Fang Yuan’s wisdom path grandmaster level, just based on the scale of the battle will, he already occupied absolute dominance.</p>
<p>The Southern Border Gu Immortals already had no chance of victory.</p>
<p>It could be said that these Gu Immortals were already of no concern, but Fang Yuan was still filled with worry: “I have refined it for so long, but there is actually still pure battle will remaining in the Immortal Gu House. I wonder what quantity are there exactly? Can I make it in time?”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan looked up at the sky.</p>
<p>The night was dark and hazy.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan felt somewhat stifled.</p>
<p>The amount of pure battle will in Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage had greatly surpassed Fang Yuan’s expectations.</p>
<p>His original plan was to get this Immortal Gu House earlier on and leave freely. But now, it had already dragged on until this day, when would he finish?</p>

<h1>Chapter 1001</h1>
<p>Time passed quickly, a month went by.</p>
<p>In Southern Border, be it the Gu Immortal world or the mortal world, their focus was all on one place.</p>
<p>This place was Yi Tian Mountain.</p>
<p>Under the influence of Gu Immortals adding fuel to the fire, countless righteous path and demonic path Gu Masters set off to join the two sides.</p>
<p>The seventh righteous and demonic fight had concluded.</p>
<p>The demonic path members schemed and cut off the righteous path’s supply lines.</p>
<p>At the moment of crisis, Shang clan leader Shang Yan Fei personally arrived with his forces, and used gourmet food box Gu, providing a feast for the army, foiling the demonic path’s scheme.</p>
<p>Next, the clan leaders of Southern Border’s super forces like Yi clan, Luo clan, Yao clan and Xia clan also showed themselves, joining the battlefield.</p>
<p>In this battlefield, rank three Gu Masters were all cannon fodder, the normally uncommon rank four Gu Masters were everywhere, and rank five Gu Masters were the most important battle power.</p>
<p>Life and death blessed land.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul Demon Venerable’s dream realm had completely dissipated.</p>
<p>Light in the seven colors of the rainbow shined brightly, turning into a cocoon.</p>
<p>Crack…</p>
<p>Some cracking sounds came from the cocoon of light.</p>
<p>As time passed, more and more cracks appeared on the cocoon.</p>
<p>Old Man Yan Shi had a tired and haggard face, but his gaze showed that he was extremely overjoyed.</p>
<p>As he watched with expectations, the cocoon of light finally exploded, as a young man appeared in front of Old Man Yan Shi, completely naked and bare.</p>
<p>He floated in the air, his eyes were shut, as if he was sleeping.</p>
<p>Old Man Yan Shi quickly moved forward, using his hands to caress the young man’s body, from his thigh to his chest, and then to his face.</p>
<p>Old Man Yan Shi could barely hold in his excitement, his fingers that were touching the face were shaking.</p>
<p>He muttered: “Success! I actually succeeded! I replicated Ren Zu’s methods and used a dream realm to create a completely new extreme physique.”</p>
<p>“This is a historical moment! Hahaha…”</p>
<p>Old Man Yan Shi laughed loudly for a while, before stopping: “You were born from a dream realm, created from nothingness. Since I used the rule path become real Immortal Gu, I will name this, ‘Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique’.”</p>
<p>Saying this, Old Man Yan Shi moved his hand and took out a lump of soul.</p>
<p>This lump of soul was dark like ink, it immediately flew into the body with the Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique.</p>
<p>Old Man Yan Shi waited for a moment, but he saw no movement from the body, his frown was getting deeper.</p>
<p>“What’s going on? Why is he not waking up? This shouldn’t be the case?”</p>
<p>He quickly inspected, a moment later, he sighed: “It seems that this body with the Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique is truly flawed. The dream path dao marks are very high in quantity, they gained a type of power in the body. Any soul that enters it will fall asleep and lose their memories continuously.”</p>
<p>“What should I do?” Old Man Yan Shi paced around, feeling anxious: “The lifespan of the Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique body has already started to decrease. Time is limited, I cannot do any detailed research now to solve this problem. What should I do?”</p>
<p>After a long time, the body with the Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique slowly opened his mouth, finally awakening.</p>
<p>He was childlike and unlearned, looking at Old Man Yan Shi, then looking around the place, his eyes were wide open and showed a naive expression.</p>
<p>Old Man Yan Shi felt some regret, he tried all sorts of ways and finally awakened the soul within the Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique body, solving the problem of the sleeping soul. But almost all the memories in the soul were lost.</p>
<p>“But it doesn’t matter. The Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique is a consumable rank nine battle strength, he is the greatest trump card to defend our core. As long as our plan succeeds, so what if the Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique has a flaw?”</p>
<p>Thinking of this, Old Man Yan Shi smiled as he sized him up with his black eyes, his tone hardly concealing his happiness: “Good, good, good. Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique, you are the greatest accomplishment of my dream path research! Many of Bo Qing’s Immortal Gu were robbed and his battle strength has fallen. You will replace him, becoming our greatest strength in suppressing the situation.”</p>
<p>“Who are you, who am I?” Ying Wu Xie curiously asked.</p>
<p>“I am you, and you are me. I am Old Man Yan Shi, and you… shall be called Ying Wu Xie.” Old Man Yan Shi chuckled.</p>
<p>He then lightly waved his arm, countless thoughts were transferred into Ying Wu Xie’s mind.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie felt a wave of information entering his mind.</p>
<p>Old Man Yan Shi said: “Remember, you only have eighteen hours of lifespan. Every two hours, your cultivation level will rise by one rank. Time is limited, I can only impart an immortal killer move to you. Although it doesn’t have any killing power, it is the pinnacle of dream path achievement currently in the five regions, at the forefront of this era. Even those Heavenly Court Gu Immortals are far behind. As the saying goes: ‘When you have the skill, you can eat your fill’! Learn it properly, when you become a Gu Immortal, I will give you a complete set of Gu worms for you to speed up your practice at that time!”</p>
<p>Southern Border, Yi Tian Mountain.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan, who was recuperating on his bed, shook as he opened his eyes suddenly.</p>
<p>In his eyes, joy flashed across slightly before they went back to being emotionless.</p>
<p>Around him, there were many injured members lying down and talking. Some healing Gu Masters were moving the injured members around, some were healing, while others were checking if injuries of patients were becoming worse.</p>
<p>The air was filled with a bloody smell, it lingered in the nose and did not fade.</p>
<p>After the seventh righteous demonic battle, Yi Tian Village’s medical ward was full of injured people. Right now, both sides were recuperating, healing from their losses and regaining their strength.</p>
<p>Thus, the number of members in the medical ward was decreasing.</p>
<p>Most of them were healed and left. Some could not be treated and died here.</p>
<p>People were happy to live and hated to die, this medical ward became a place avoided by the demonic path Gu Masters.</p>
<p>But Fang Yuan did not mind it.</p>
<p>He pretended to be wounded and severely injured. Familiar face could deceive rank eight Gu Immortals, not to mention these mortal Gu Masters on Yi Tian Mountain.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan found that this was the place which was most suitable to refine the Immortal Gu House’s battle will.</p>
<p>Only here could he lay back, openly and calmly refining battle will almost unceasingly.</p>
<p>Even though there were many people moving around, none of them could threaten a Gu Immortal like Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s strategy finally paid off earlier.</p>
<p>“After spending so much time, I have finally finished converting Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage’s battle will. Now, I have to get rid of the other Gu Immortals’ battle will and become its owner!”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan breathed in deeply, he did not hesitate, he took action immediately.</p>
<p>Inside the Immortal Gu House, his battle will whipped up a storm, engulfing other battle wills easily.</p>
<p>The battle wills of these Southern Border Gu Immortals were all operating independently and caught unprepared, they could not react before they were all wiped out by Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>At once, Fang Yuan caused a huge commotion.</p>
<p>The Southern Border Gu Immortals were furious and shocked, some screamed while others flew out, some were staring blankly from disbelief!</p>
<p>They communicated and realized that someone did not participate in the gambling contest, they secretly refined battle will and fooled all of the Southern Border Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>The Southern Border Gu Immortals felt immense anger and hatred, a sea would not be able to douse their fury.</p>
<p>All of their hard work had been for nothing.</p>
<p>They had been scheming against others, but now, it was all like a joke!</p>
<p>“Who is it? You dared to toy with us!”</p>
<p>“Find them and kill them! They have openly challenged our Southern Border Gu Immortal world!!”</p>
<p>“Not only will I kill them, I will tear their skin and pull out their tendons, I will extract their soul and torture them for a thousand years!”</p>
<p>The Southern Border Gu Immortals had surging auras as they encircled Yi Tian Mountain.</p>
<p>They could no longer bother with hiding their traces, countless auras burst into the sky, engulfing the entirety of Yi Tian Mountain.</p>
<p>The righteous and demonic path Gu Masters were stunned.</p>
<p>“What, what, what is going on?”</p>
<p>“Immortals, are they immortals?!”</p>
<p>“Such strong auras, they must be the legendary Gu Immortals. To think that I could have an opportunity to meet them in my life.”</p>
<p>“So many immortals, is this the plot of the righteous (demonic) path?”</p>
<p>The two factions of Gu Masters fell into chaos, a commotion ensued in their corresponding groups.</p>
<p>“It is useless, this is the forbidden zone, none of you have the immortal aperture sealing method, how can you come in?” Fang Yuan snickered in his mind.</p>
<p>But on the surface, he showed a fearful expression, similar to everyone around him.</p>
<p>This was a crucial moment, Fang Yuan would, of course, not be careless.</p>
<p>The forbidden zone could prevent Gu Immortals from entering, but it only targeted the immortal aperture, not their Immortal Gu. This meant that Gu Immortals could attack Yi Tian Mountain from afar.</p>
<p>“Who is it? Come out!”</p>
<p>“You have the guts to steal from us, but no guts to admit it?”</p>
<p>The Gu Immortals were furious and anxious, they screamed like the rumbling of thunder, shaking the world.</p>
<p>Even Yi Tian Mountain was shaking under their voices, not to mention the mortal Gu Masters. Including the rank five Gu Masters, all of them had pale expressions and were shivering in fear.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan concealed himself and did not expose any flaws.</p>
<p>After getting rid of the other battle wills, he manipulated the battle will and started to take over Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage.</p>
<p>This process needed some time.</p>
<p>But Fang Yuan was not worried about the Southern Border Gu Immortals attacking without any reservations.</p>
<p>For righteous path Gu Immortals, they needed to defend their reputations, they would not conduct a massacre here. For demonic path Gu Immortals, some had placed their Immortal Gu with their mortal pawns, similar to how Xiao clan’s ancestor had left Immortal Gu on Xiao Shan.</p>
<p>Immortal Gu were very fragile, Fang Yuan’s Spring Autumn Cicada could be crushed by a child.</p>
<p>If they attacked without holding back, these Immortal Gu would likely be destroyed.</p>
<p>As for some lone immortals like Old Man Yue Xia, his treasured disciple Lu Zuan Feng was on Yi Tian Mountain, how could he attack?</p>
<p>More and more Gu worms came under Fang Yuan’s control.</p>
<p>Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage’s secret was finally exposed to Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>“So this Immortal Gu House is a time path Immortal Gu House, it uses the power of time path to seal any attacks aimed at it, before sending them back! An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, this is an incredible idea!”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan continuously praised in his mind.</p>

<h1>Chapter 1002</h1>
<p>The exact reason could no longer be confirmed.</p>
<p>But in short, the Immortal Gu House, Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage, had been suppressing the Great Strength True Martial immortal zombie for so many years, the two had formed a peculiar balance.</p>
<p>The Immortal Gu House was ownerless, inside, there was pure battle will.</p>
<p>Right now, Fang Yuan had completely converted the battle will into his own, he had even pushed out all of the Southern Border Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>Since rebirth, after so much planning, he had finally achieved his goal!</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was filled with joy.</p>
<p>But at the same time, he was undeniably nervous.</p>
<p>“Faster, faster.” Fang Yuan secretly urged himself.</p>
<p>Even though the battle will was his, taking over the Immortal Gu House needed some time.</p>
<p>This duration was when Fang Yuan was at his weakest.</p>
<p>If any of the Southern Border Gu Immortals went berserk and suddenly attacked Yi Tian Mountain, Fang Yuan would have to defend against the attack, exposing himself in the process.</p>
<p>The Southern Border Gu Immortals were furious and anxious, their minds were filled with rage and hatred.</p>
<p>If they found Fang Yuan, they would definitely gang up and chop him into pieces, or completely eradicate him!</p>
<p>Their emotions were understandable.</p>
<p>After all, they had spent the last few months trying to be first, they had used all their methods to obtain the Immortal Gu House.</p>
<p>But in the end, their hopes were dashed. The Immortal Gu House that they wanted had become someone else’s!</p>
<p>If Fang Yuan had acted in accordance to the gambling contest and won fair and square, the immortals could still accept that result. But Fang Yuan had sneakily avoided them completely, his actions was simply theft in their eyes, he was unscrupulous and shameless!</p>
<p>Why had they been working so hard over these last days?</p>
<p>It was all useless!</p>
<p>Even though the Southern Border Gu Immortals did not attack, they had used all their investigative methods.</p>
<p>In a short amount of time, Fang Yuan felt dozens of mental waves sweeping across his body.</p>
<p>His anxiety increased, his muscles were contracted, all of the hair on his body was standing.</p>
<p>Even though he was using the immortal killer move familiar face, it was a modified version. And even if it was the original, times had changed, some Gu Immortals might have developed new investigative methods that could expose it.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was confident in deceiving the rank six and seven Gu Immortals. But against rank eight Gu Immortals, he was not as confident.</p>
<p>Time continued to pass, as Fang Yuan waited.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s mind was filled with thoughts that churned like a sea.</p>
<p>As he took over the Immortal Gu House slowly, Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage’s inner structure was exposed to Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan used all his time and effort to learn about these Immortal Gu and mortal Gu.</p>
<p>At this crucial point of time, wisdom path grandmaster attainment level helped him immensely. Using these Immortal Gu and mortal Gu, Fang Yuan could deduce many things about the Immortal Gu House.</p>
<p>Thus, Fang Yuan’s understanding of the Immortal Gu House, Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage, rose rapidly from a state of nothingness.</p>
<p>“Success!” Fang Yuan’s eyes shined, he shouted internally.</p>
<p>At this moment, he had finally succeeded, he completely took over the Immortal Gu House Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage.</p>
<p>This Immortal Gu House belonged to him entirely, at Fang Yuan’s will, this Immortal Gu House flew out.</p>
<p>Bam.</p>
<p>At this moment, the medical ward’s doors were broken through.</p>
<p>Xiao Shan, Lu Zuan Feng and another rank five Gu Master charged in ferociously with their troops.</p>
<p>“There, there and that one there, they are all suspicious, kill them!” Xiao Shan was filled with killing intent, he pointed at three beds as he screamed.</p>
<p>It turned out that not only were the Southern Border Gu Immortals themselves investigating, they were sending their pawns in both the righteous and demonic factions to undergo a bloodbath.</p>
<p>Anyone that was found suspicious by the Gu Immortals was mercilessly killed, in order to find this accursed mastermind, Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>The Southern Border Gu Immortals were all anxious.</p>
<p>Even if their identities and the truth behind Yi Tian Mountain were exposed, they could not care less.</p>
<p>“Even though they did not see through familiar face, they were still suspicious of me…” Fang Yuan muttered internally.</p>
<p>Xiao Shan pointed at three suspicious people, Fang Yuan was one of them.</p>
<p>Rank five Gu Master Sun Pang Hu walked towards him with a ruthless expression, Fang Yuan felt completely calm, feeling no nervousness.</p>
<p>Of course, on the outside, Fang Yuan showed a confused and angry expression, he screamed: “What are you doing? I am not a spy from the righteous path!”</p>
<p>“Who cares if you are not!” Sun Pang Hu shouted, pouncing towards Fang Yuan and kicking directly in the chest.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s chest was caving inwards, his heart was crushed as blood oozed out.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan shouted in pain as he tried to retaliate.</p>
<p>But Sun Pang Hu’s punch sent him flying.</p>
<p>Boom.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s corpse hit the wall, it slowly slid down, sprawling on the ground with his eyes wide open, he had ‘died’.</p>
<p>“Go! To the next site!!” After settling this, Xiao Shan waved his hand as he brought his people elsewhere.</p>
<p>The remaining injured members were all left panicking, there were also three unlucky corpses.</p>
<p>Naturally, Fang Yuan was not dead.</p>
<p>This was a disguise.</p>
<p>Familiar face’s disguise was limited to a human-like form, but it was very easy to show an appearance of death.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan still needed some time.</p>
<p>Taking over the Immortal Gu House Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage was not enough, there was still one matter he had to settle first.</p>
<p>That was, to suppress the Great Strength True Martial immortal zombie!</p>
<p>There was still some immortal essence left inside Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage, Fang Yuan mobilized the Immortal Gu House and created a huge force with his battle will, assaulting the Great Strength True Martial immortal zombie.</p>
<p>The slumbering rank eight immortal zombie opened his eyes, resisting violently.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan snorted internally: “Sure enough, it will not be easy…”</p>
<p>He was not surprised.</p>
<p>In his previous life, this rank eight Great Strength True Martial immortal zombie had charged out.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had previously deduced the possibility of the Great Strength True Martial immortal zombie retaliating.</p>
<p>A Great Strength True Martial immortal zombie was something Fang Yuan required, he was not going to let it go, he prepared many methods just for this situation.</p>
<p>But just as he was about to strike, tribulation clouds rumbled in the sky as the earth started to shake.</p>
<p>The Southern Border Gu Immortals were uncertain, they shouted: “What is going on?”</p>
<p>“This seems like the prelude to a heavenly tribulation or earthly calamity!”</p>
<p>“Why would there be a tribulation out of nowhere?”</p>
<p>“Is someone undergoing tribulation?”</p>
<p>“Who cares about the tribulation, what I am concerned about now is finding that thief who stole our Immortal Gu House!!”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was surprised: “It is not time yet, why is this happening earlier? Oh no… the tribulations are already starting, then, is Shadow Sect also here already?”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan knew this was turning bad, he hesitated.</p>
<p>“Activating the tribulations in advance, was it the influence of my rebirth? Shadow Sect is a mysterious and huge power, should I retreat?”</p>
<p>Actually, at this point, it was okay to give up on the Great Strength True Martial immortal zombie.</p>
<p>After all, this was not the only possible Great Strength True Martial immortal zombie in the world, there was still Hei Lou Lan.</p>
<p>Even though Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan had an agreement, once it expired, or if he used an information path method to nullify the agreement, Fang Yuan would be able to target Hei Lou Lan.</p>
<p>In the past, Fang Yuan did not have the strength to deal with Hei Lou Lan. That was because Hei Lou Lan was backed by Fairy Li Shan and Blazing Heaven Demoness.</p>
<p>But now, Fang Yuan had the Immortal Gu House, if he disregarded the immortal essence cost, he could suppress all three of these women, who cared if she was rank seven, rank eight, or had one of the ten extreme physiques.</p>
<p>With the Immortal Gu House, Fang Yuan had sufficient confidence!</p>
<p>“However, it is quite a big loss if I give up. This is a rank eight Great Strength True Martial immortal zombie… plotting against Hei Lou Lan will be a matter for the future. Who can be certain about the future, how can I ensure that I will succeed? The alliance agreement was just set recently, if I give up now, it will take too long to deal with Hei Lou Lan, unexpected surprises might occur.”</p>
<p>While he was hesitating, a change occurred in the sky!</p>
<p>Old Man Yan Shi appeared, leading the Gu Immortals of the ten extreme physiques in setting up the ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation.</p>
<p>The Southern Border Gu Immortals were encircled, after feeling shocked, rage rose in their hearts.</p>
<p>A Gu Immortal shouted: “Who are you? Were you behind the theft of the Immortal Gu House?”</p>
<p>A rank eight Gu Immortal snorted: “Cowards hiding yourselves, show your faces if you dare, I want to see who dares to plot against me in Southern Border?”</p>
<p>Old Man Yan Shi looked at the Southern Border immortals as he smiled coldly in disdain, he turned around and looked at Ying Wu Xie: “I have already told you everything that needs to be done, you need to remember them.”</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie blinked innocently, he nodded: “You can go ahead and die, don’t worry about me.”</p>
<p>He was just born twelve hours ago, his cultivation level was at rank six, he had become a Gu Immortal. But he was still very ignorant about the world, and about life and death.</p>
<p>Old Man Yan Shi shook his head helplessly.</p>
<p>He naturally did not originally intend to create such an assistant.</p>
<p>“It is a pity, my attainment in human path cannot compare to Ren Zu. The ten extreme physiques from Ren Zu could exist for a long time. But my Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique can only live for eighteen hours. Even though the weakness of a sleeping soul was eliminated, the memories in the soul are still being lost by the effect of the dream path dao marks.”</p>
<p>This way, there was no use in transferring a large amount of information into Ying Wu Xie’s mind. The more information he got, the faster he would forget them.</p>
<p>Only if he tried to memorize it himself would there be some effectiveness.</p>
<p>Old Man Yan Shi concealed his regret: “I am going now, but before dying, I will make a deduction for you.”</p>
<p>“Be careful… one of us…” Old Man Yan Shi said his final words before turning into powder, dissipating in the wind.</p>
<p>Including his soul, many Shadow Sect Gu Immortals sacrificed themselves, sending their souls into the giant formation.</p>
<p>Ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation, created by the sacrifice of many Gu Immortals, it had reached ninety percent completion.</p>
<p>The Southern Border Gu Immortals had already tried to break this formation, now that it was ninety percent complete, the Southern Border Gu Immortals were startled and fearful.</p>
<p>Above them, the thousand pearl-light tribulation descended.</p>
<p>The Southern Border Gu Immortals gave up on breaking out, they had to deal with the impending tribulations first.</p>

<h1>Chapter 1003</h1>
<p>“Shadow Sect also came earlier, huh…” Fang Yuan looked at the sky, mumbling to himself internally.</p>
<p>Although he wholeheartedly wanted to finish his plan early, after putting it into practice, he knew that although his plan was great on paper, the way events unfolded in reality turned him helpless.</p>
<p>In his previous life, the Southern Border Gu Immortals resisted several waves of tribulations before Shadow Sect’s Gu Immortals made their appearance.</p>
<p>This life, however, Shadow Sect’s Gu Immortals also appeared early and arranged the ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation.</p>
<p>Since this formation had succeeded, Fang Yuan was no longer in a hurry to retreat.</p>
<p>The reason was simple.</p>
<p>The worst situation had already appeared.</p>
<p>Like in his previous life, Fang Yuan’s Fixed Immortal Travel would also be ineffective in this formation.</p>
<p>Even with the Immortal Gu House Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage, it would take some time to break through the ninety percent complete ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had deciphered many battlefield killer moves, particularly in Eastern Sea’s Yu Lu blessed land.</p>
<p>However, Yu Lu blessed land’s battlefield killer moves might be exquisite, but they were unmanned, and were arrangements that were fixed in place. Even if someone took control of them, their strongest state might not even match one percent of this ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation.</p>
<p>Although Fang Yuan was not a formation path Gu Immortal and also was not proficient in it, he at least had this insight.</p>
<p>If he went out now, he would definitely be a target for all. The Southern Border Gu Immortals would not let him go, and Shadow Sect’s Gu Immortals naturally would not just look on as the Immortal Gu House was taken by Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>“Suppress the Great Strength True Martial immortal zombie first, then look for a good opportunity to use the Immortal Gu House to forcibly break through!” Fang Yuan concentrated on the Great Strength True Martial immortal zombie.</p>
<p>The sudden appearance of Shadow Sect’s Gu Immortals had somewhat helped Fang Yuan from a certain perspective.</p>
<p>If not for their appearance, the Southern Border Gu Immortals would definitely concentrate on Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>The pressure on Fang Yuan had relaxed, he had even more energy to deal with the Great Strength True Martial immortal zombie now.</p>
<p>What made Fang Yuan shocked was that this immortal zombie still had quite a bit of strength left.</p>
<p>Facing Fang Yuan’s continuous offense, he activated Immortal Gu to mobilize his battle will and resisted fiercely and decisively.</p>
<p>For a moment, Fang Yuan was on the back foot!</p>
<p>“This immortal zombie is also an astute schemer! Previously, he used battle will to try to refine the Immortal Gu House, but failed. Probably because of exhaustion, he went into a deep sleep. While in his sleep, he accumulated his strength in the hope that when he woke up, he could use the accumulated energy to turn around the situation.” Fang Yuan guessed, involuntarily having some admiration for such an opponent.</p>
<p>If the Great Strength True Martial immortal zombie cultivated strength path, he quite likely would not have such a method.</p>
<p>However, this immortal zombie was different, he had such good strength path talent but he actually gave it up to cultivate wisdom path.</p>
<p>Who knew what he was thinking.</p>
<p>But Fang Yuan knew that it was his wisdom path method that allowed him to forcibly dig a way out in this situation of certain loss.</p>
<p>Maybe this immortal zombie had already woken up and slept many times, repeating it and accumulating battle will. But during his sleep, the Immortal Gu House would purify his battle will.</p>
<p>If not for Fang Yuan interfering, according to such a course of events continuing, this immortal zombie could definitely free himself.</p>
<p>He would not only be able to free himself, he could also obtain Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, his scheme was for naught, as Fang Yuan overtook him.</p>
<p>While Fang Yuan was dealing with this Great Strength True Martial immortal zombie, the situation in the sky around Yi Tian Mountain was rapidly changing.</p>
<p>Thousand pearl-light tribulation, dark flying frost, desolate beasts, dragon roar tribulation, four inferno clouds tribulation, snow war tribulation lightning…</p>
<p>Like the previous life, waves after waves of tribulations, with increasingly frightening might, descended upon the Southern Border Gu Immortals, inflicting severe losses.</p>
<p>It was not that they hadn’t tried breaking the formation.</p>
<p>But how could they break through the ninety percent complete ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation?</p>
<p>Like in the previous life, they mistakenly thought Ying Wu Xie was the greatest flaw, but they were struck by the immortal killer move lead soul into dream, and had to halt in defeat.</p>
<p>Later, they entrusted hope in the tribulations, hoping that the tribulations could destroy the ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation. But Shadow Sect’s Gu Immortals started initiating their offensive.</p>
<p>As time passed, under the Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage, the Great Strength True Martial immortal zombie’s resistance was becoming weaker and weaker.</p>
<p>While Fang Yuan slowly saw hope, the Southern Border Gu Immortals had already lost theirs.</p>
<p>Almost all of them were dead, either dying to the battle formation from the extreme immortal zombies, or dying under the terrifying tribulations.</p>
<p>The only remaining two rank eights were heavily injured, running like headless chickens in the gaps between the tribulations and Shadow Sect’s offense.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was also without other options.</p>
<p>It was not that he did not try to help these Southern Border Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>He still had not completely suppressed the Great Strength True Martial immortal zombie, so he naturally hoped these Southern Border Gu Immortals could stall for some time.</p>
<p>Not long earlier, he had secretly transmitted his voice, trying to inform these Gu Immortals about the power of Ying Wu Xie.</p>
<p>But the ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation had already spread to ten thousand li around Yi Tian Mountain, not only did it isolate the space, it also stopped sound transmissions. Fang Yuan was unable to achieve what he wanted.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had tried other methods as well, but they all failed.</p>
<p>After several attempts, Fang Yuan had wisely given up, placing all his concentration back upon the Great Strength True Martial immortal zombie.</p>
<p>At the same time, high in the sky, a tall and white tower was quietly hovering.</p>
<p>Immortal Gu House Heaven Overseeing Tower!</p>
<p>“Tower Lord, the Southern Border Gu Immortals are already almost all dead, should we make a move now?” Bi Chen Tian asked.</p>
<p>Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord held his walking stick, with the help of Heaven Overseeing Tower, his gaze pierced through all obstacles and saw the battlefield below clearly.</p>
<p>“Such a powerful formation. This formation is seemingly an ancient battle formation, but in fact it relies on the dao marks of the ten extreme physiques. A man-made formation has the intrinsic qualities of a battlefield killer move. But this formation has a flaw, that is, it lacks one last strength path extreme physique. If all ten extremes were to really gather, that would be quite a thorny situation.” Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord remarked.</p>
<p>“No wonder Shadow Sect’s people thought of all possible methods to capture that Great Strength True Martial immortal zombie under the mountain.” Lian Jiu Sheng suddenly realized.</p>
<p>Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord stroked his beard: “It is not easy to take the Great Strength True Martial immortal zombie. They must pass the obstacle that is Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage. Let’s wait for now. Bo Qing and the others have yet to appear.”</p>
<p>“In this journey, we have brought thirteen Gu Immortals, along with the Immortal Gu House Heaven Overseeing Tower. But we have passed the regional wall through white heaven without stopping on our way, we are not in optimal condition.”</p>
<p>“The enemies still have trump cards unused, let them bustle about first. Even if the Southern Border Gu Immortals are annihilated, aren’t there still the tribulations? Hmph… that person refuses to stay dead, he wants to return but has provoked the fury of heaven’s will. The mighty tribulations will become increasingly terrifying!”</p>
<p>Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord was not hurried.</p>
<p>This was different from the previous life.</p>
<p>In the previous life, when he saw the Great Strength True Martial immortal zombie appearing again, he had immediately struck with a vicious attack.</p>
<p>But in this life, the Great Strength True Martial immortal zombie was suppressed by Fang Yuan, he could not even budge, much less appear out in the open, thus Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord was not in a hurry to make a move.</p>
<p>Although his twelve companions had a common goal and all had rank eight cultivation, Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord did not dare to make a rash move.</p>
<p>“Heavenly Court is still not making a move?” Far away, Bo Qing was gazing at the sky solemnly.</p>
<p>In the previous life, he was unable to attack Heavenly Lotus Sect and could only choose to attack Combat Immortal Sect, which made Shadow Sect’s previous arrangements useless.</p>
<p>But in this life, there were divergences. Vice Envoy Blue, who was Seven Star Child, did not die, and together with Yu Mu Chun and Song Zi Xing, they activated an immortal killer move to transport themselves quickly to Heavenly Lotus Sect.</p>
<p>Attacking this sect was among Shadow Sect’s plans.</p>
<p>Bo Qing and the rest delayed some time before retreating.</p>
<p>However, Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord was not easy to deceive. The unease inside him caused him to immediately return to Heavenly Court and use Heaven Overseeing Tower to make calculations. When he deduced Yi Tian Mountain, this crucial area, he quickly summoned as many Gu Immortals as he could and moved out together with Heaven Overseeing Tower, traveling to this place without resting.</p>
<p>“Since he won’t make a move, we will.” Song Zi Xing’s voice came through an information path Gu worm.</p>
<p>Bo Qing nodded: “Let me go first.”</p>
<p>Next moment, dazzling light shot to the sky, an Immortal Gu House of a majestic scale appeared in everyone’s vision.</p>
<p>“Hmm?!” Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord was surprised, this Immortal Gu House had been hiding in the ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation, who knew what methods were used, he had actually not sensed it.</p>
<p>The Immortal Gu House flew to the sky before fiercely crashing down on Yi Tian Mountain.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s expression was ashen, his eyes shining with a cold brilliance.</p>
<p>“Immortal Gu House Sacred Feather City!” He gritted his teeth, he had not thought that at this crucial moment, Sacred Feather City, which was originally owned by the featherman Gu Immortals, would appear at this place.</p>
<p>The moment this city appeared, Fang Yuan had started feeling uneasy.</p>
<p>Now, seeing this enormous Immortal Gu House falling down on him, Fang Yuan’s heart sank to rock bottom.</p>
<p>He was extremely unwilling, he was just a few steps away from success. The rank eight Great Strength True Martial immortal zombie was already on the verge of defeat and would not be able to hold on any longer.</p>
<p>But now, he had to stop!</p>
<p>The Sacred Feather City directly smashed down, Fang Yuan had to activate Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage to resist it.</p>
<p>If the Immortal Gu House was not activated, its battle strength could not be displayed. The amount of immortal essence used in the activation process would determine whether the Immortal Gu House’s battle strength would be high or low.</p>
<p>Even Heaven Overseeing Tower, a rank nine Immortal Gu House, had a portion cut by Bo Qing’s sword light in its inactive state.</p>
<p>“Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage, rise!”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan resolutely called out internally, no longer concealing himself, showing his real body.</p>
<p>Yi Tian Mountain instantly crumbled, while Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage shot towards the sky like a crimson meteor.</p>
<p>It also had space path Gu worms, bursting out with a powerful and formless force that instantly transported Fang Yuan inside.</p>
<p>Right now, Fang Yuan was officially controlling Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage!</p>
<p>“Merely Sacred Feather City…” Fang Yuan snorted inwardly, and with a flourish of his hand, rank nine yellow apricot immortal essence spread out.</p>
<p>Rank nine immortal essence from Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, it was nothing to scoff at!</p>
<p>Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage was originally shrouded within an aura of red light a few meters in size. But after the expenditure of yellow apricot immortal essence, this red light was like a volcano, as it violently enlarged to fifteen or twenty meters!</p>
<p>“What?” Bo Qing, who was controlling Sacred Feather City, called out in shock.</p>
<p>Boom!</p>
<p>An earth-shaking explosion erupted, Sacred Feather City was ruthlessly sent flying by Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage.</p>
<p>Large amounts of city walls, gates and tiles were sent flying everywhere, turning into corpses of Gu worms which then scattered along with the air.</p>
<p>There was no doubt about it, Fang Yuan defeated Bo Qing in one move!</p>

<h1>Chapter 1004</h1>
<p>Fang Yuan repelled Sacred Feather City, he did not know that immortal zombie Bo Qing was inside manipulating it.</p>
<p>Using this opportunity, Fang Yuan maneuvered Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage, turning around in the sky and crashing towards Yi Tian Mountain again.</p>
<p>Along the way, tribulations rained down and hit Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage, causing loud crackling sounds.</p>
<p>Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage defended as it charged down relentlessly, it could protect itself from the tribulations.</p>
<p>At this moment, Yi Tian Mountain had already collapsed, turning into a ruin. Yi Tian Mountain’s demonic path Gu Masters were all heavily injured or dead. Corpses were everywhere, it was a terrible sight.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan took a glance and then stopped looking at these lowly mortals.</p>
<p>His eyes were shining with cold light, at this point, he was still unwilling to give up.</p>
<p>The earlier suppression failed, but Fang Yuan still had a chance.</p>
<p>“Great Strength True Martial immortal zombie, you are mine! Hmm?” Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage was about to charge down again, when a second Immortal Gu House blocked Fang Yuan’s path.</p>
<p>This Immortal Gu House was entirely black, it gave off a metallic luster.</p>
<p>It was also in the form of a fortress.</p>
<p>But it was not as grand as Sacred Feather City, it was a battle fort that was forged with steel.</p>
<p>To compare them, Sacred Feather City was like a gentlemanly prince, while this Immortal Gu House was a warrior clad in steel armor.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s eyes shined with bright light, he gritted his teeth and charged down again.</p>
<p>He had to race against time.</p>
<p>The more time the rank eight Great Strength True Martial immortal zombie had, the more he could recover to a better state.</p>
<p>Boom!</p>
<p>With a huge sound that could burst eardrums, the two Immortal Gu Houses crashed into each other.</p>
<p>A huge shock wave was generated, blasting out in all directions.</p>
<p>The shock waves caused rocks from the mountain to fly away, among them were the corpses of Gu Masters.</p>
<p>The two Immortal Gu Houses were in a deadlock.</p>
<p>Even though Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage had a powerful charge, the iron fortress-like Immortal Gu House could barely hold it off.</p>
<p>Both sides were contesting.</p>
<p>The iron fortress Immortal Gu House was slowly pushed back, but Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage was losing its momentum.</p>
<p>“Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage is a rank seven Immortal Gu House, this other Immortal Gu House is likely also rank seven, specialized in defense.” Fang Yuan had a realization.</p>
<p>He sighed, knowing that he had lost his opportunity.</p>
<p>He had tried hard, but because of obstructions, he did not succeed.</p>
<p>This amount of time was enough for the rank eight Great Strength True Martial immortal zombie to break free from the force of Fang Yuan’s suppression and recover.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s attempt failed, he immediately tried to retreat, leaving this troublesome place.</p>
<p>Turning around, Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage flew into the sky.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan did not fly directly upwards, he crashed towards the southeast direction.</p>
<p>The third and fourth Immortal Gu Houses appeared consecutively.</p>
<p>These two Immortal Gu Houses were small, one was filled with blood-red light, in the shape of a chariot. The other was dark and eerie, it was an old castle with grey tiles and white walls.</p>
<p>Four Immortal Gu Houses trapped Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage, which Fang Yuan was controlling.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan charged in all directions, but he was obstructed by the four Immortal Gu Houses, he could not gather enough force to charge out of the ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation.</p>
<p>Inside Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage, Fang Yuan’s expression was dark.</p>
<p>He did not expect Shadow Sect to make such a huge move.</p>
<p>An Immortal Gu House was already very rare. Shadow Sect actually took out four Immortal Gu Houses, what were they trying to do by being so relentless?</p>
<p>Even though the situation was not in his favor, Fang Yuan was still calm.</p>
<p>The enemy might be strong, but it was not a desperate situation yet, because one party had not joined the fight yet.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan looked into the sky from time to time, he was waiting.</p>
<p>Would Heavenly Court fail to deduce that Shadow Sect was attacking early? Even if they failed, by this time, they should have arrived.</p>
<p>When Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals attack, the situation would be chaotic, Fang Yuan would be able to take advantage of the confusion.</p>
<p>“But Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals, why are they not attacking yet?” Fang Yuan thought as he reduced Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage’s power purposely.</p>
<p>The Immortal Gu House that was shining with bright red light turned from brilliant to faint.</p>
<p>At once, the situation changed.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage was suppressed by four Immortal Gu Houses.</p>
<p>Inside Heaven Overseeing Tower, Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord’s eyes were shining with white light that gradually faded.</p>
<p>He used Heaven Overseeing Tower earlier to make a deduction, it had just ended.</p>
<p>He smiled coldly: “The person inside Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage is an otherworldly demon. His name is Gu Yue Fang Yuan, the destruction of Imperial Court blessed land and the collapse of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building had been done by him! This person seems to have some sort of relationship with Red Lotus Demon Venerable and Spectral Soul Demon Venerable. Don’t think that he is being suppressed in this current scenario, he is just acting so that we will strike.”</p>
<p>“Oh? Then, are Fang Yuan and Shadow Sect allies or enemies? Is their intense battle just an act?” Lian Jiu Sheng asked in confusion.</p>
<p>Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord waved his hand: “I am not interested in Fang Yuan and Shadow Sect’s relationship, it is not important. Since he wants to lure us to attack, let’s do it. The ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation is part of the enemy’s crucial plan. I have already deduced that they have obtained that final key immortal zombie. Everyone, come with me, activate Heaven Overseeing Tower and destroy the formation, ruin the enemy’s scheme!”</p>
<p>Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord called out and everyone responded, they were full of intent to fight.</p>
<p>The Heavenly Court Gu Immortals around him all had stern expressions, they attacked together.</p>
<p>A beam of light shot towards the ten extreme formation.</p>
<p>“I wanted to use Fang Yuan to prevent the Heavenly Court Gu Immortals from attacking, so as to stall for time. It seems that such a shallow scheme cannot deceive these Heavenly Court members. Attack!” Envoy Blue, or Seven Star Child ordered as he thought over Shadow Sect’s situation.</p>
<p>“Good, Heavenly Court is attacking.” Fang Yuan was just starting to feel joy when he saw three more Immortal Gu Houses emerging!</p>
<p>One was a pavilion with red bricks and green tiles. One was a manor with white traces flying around. One was an altar with shiny golden lights.</p>
<p>The three Immortal Gu Houses worked together to resist the attack from Heaven Overseeing Tower.</p>
<p>“…” Fang Yuan did not know what to say.</p>
<p>Since when did Immortal Gu Houses become so commonplace? They were emerging one after another, what were they planning to do?</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s sense of unease was growing.</p>
<p>He had thought that the mysteries behind the battle of Yi Tian Mountain were as deep as a lake. But to think that this place was as deep as an ocean!</p>
<p>The hidden details simply ran too deeply.</p>
<p>In the five hundred years of his previous life, during the five regions chaotic war, a battle of such a scale numbered to less than five!</p>
<p>“Good, good, good. Sacred Feather City, Unbreakable Iron Fortress, Blood River Chariot, Nightmare Castle, Green Wave Pavilion, Weaving Cocoon Manor, Golden Altar… seven Immortal Gu Houses were forced out by my one move.” From inside Heaven Overseeing Tower, Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord’s voice could be heard.</p>
<p>He exposed the names of Shadow Sect’s Immortal Gu House, his voice was loud as thunder, it could be heard over the surrounding thousands of li.</p>
<p>“Now then, we will let you see the might of Heaven Overseeing Tower!”</p>
<p>Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord shouted as the heavens shook.</p>
<p>Rank nine Immortal Gu House, Heaven Overseeing Tower, activated fully.</p>
<p>There was no warning.</p>
<p>The sky turned white!</p>
<p>The world turned white!</p>
<p>Even Fang Yuan, who was inside Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage, at this moment, could only see white.</p>
<p>Light was everywhere.</p>
<p>White light.</p>
<p>It filled the entire world, all the space in this world was filled with white light.</p>
<p>The light seemed harmless, Fang Yuan did not even feel a sense of danger.</p>
<p>“This… what sort of attack…” When the white light faded, Fang Yuan regained his senses slowly.</p>
<p>Taking a look, his body shook.</p>
<p>In the sky, debris of these Immortal Gu Houses was falling down.</p>
<p>The falling debris turned back into countless Gu worms as they fell.</p>
<p>Not a single Gu worm survived.</p>
<p>The corpses of these Gu worms fell in the air, scattering everywhere.</p>
<p>The most mysterious thing was, from the outside, these dead Gu worms did not have any injuries, but they had lost all traces of life.</p>
<p>The three Immortal Gu Houses closest to Heaven Overseeing Tower, Green Wave Pavilion, Weaving Cocoon Manor, and Golden Altar had broken apart. The remaining Immortal Gu Houses were also heavily damaged.</p>
<p>But overall, Fang Yuan’s Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage had suffered the least damage.</p>
<p>“Did Heavenly Court spare me?” Fang Yuan had a thought but he quickly denied it.</p>
<p>“Hmph! Otherworldly demon…” Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord gave Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage a look as he directed his attention towards the ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation.</p>
<p>The move earlier had activated fate Immortal Gu, creating an incredibly strong attack.</p>
<p>This was an attack that carried the power of fate.</p>
<p>Fate was predestined.</p>
<p>If one is not fated, no matter how hard they work, they will not achieve anything.</p>
<p>If fate decrees that you fail, you will fail.</p>
<p>This was an unavoidable attack.</p>
<p>It could have destroyed the ten extreme formation, but these three Immortal Gu Houses sacrificed themselves and endured the attack.</p>
<p>In contrast, from the ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation, Ying Wu Xie had flown out, his spot was taken over by the rank eight Great Strength True Martial immortal zombie.</p>
<p>“After being suppressed for so many years, I face such a great enemy upon escaping. Hahaha, I like it!” The rank eight Great Strength True Martial immortal zombie raised his head and laughed.</p>
<p>He pointed at Heaven Overseeing Tower, shouting: “Scoundrels from Heavenly Court, come! Celebrate my resurrection!”</p>
<p>The fully completed ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation activated!</p>
<p>Dark clouds formed, covering the entire battlefield, spreading out endlessly at a rapid speed.</p>
<p>All ten of the extreme immortal zombies were hidden in the dark clouds, their traces were gone.</p>
<p>Countless immortal apertures were drawn out by the mystical power of the formation, they resembled starlight.</p>
<p>These immortal apertures were left behind after the Southern Border Gu Immortals died.</p>
<p>The immortal apertures went into the deep part of the dark clouds and gathered.</p>
<p>Countless Gu worms, both Immortal and mortal, were flying about inside the dark clouds.</p>
<p>At this point, Fang Yuan finally understood something: “So this ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation is actually a refinement path Gu formation! What is Shadow Sect trying to refine? They actually used the Southern Border Gu Immortals’ immortal apertures as the refinement materials?!”</p>
<p>Such a method was simply unheard of.</p>
<p>The high and mighty Gu Immortals were like ants now, casually killed and used to refine Gu.</p>
<p>Even Fang Yuan, with his five hundred years of experience, had never seen something like this.</p>
<p>Shadow Sect, a mysterious force hidden in the depths of history, its true motive and plan that had been ongoing for countless years was finally going to show itself!</p>

<h1>Chapter 1005</h1>
<p>“You actually activated this formation in front of us?! Even though you were once invincible in the world, you are already dead now. If you do not respect us, so be it, but such a heaven defying act to transgress against heaven’s will, how can we let you succeed?”</p>
<p>Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord shouted, gathering the strength of the Heavenly Court immortals to use Heaven Overseeing Tower’s strongest attack again.</p>
<p>“Endure it!” The Shadow Sect immortals, who had predicted, this activated their Immortal Gu Houses and charged up.</p>
<p>The world turned white.</p>
<p>The attack from fate could not be defended against.</p>
<p>After recovering his senses, Fang Yuan spat out a mouthful of blood, his face was purple-gold in color.</p>
<p>Even though he was an otherworldly demon, he was still a part of the world and under its influence, his injuries were only less severe than others.</p>
<p>Taking another look, Fang Yuan saw that the Immortal Gu Houses Unbreakable Iron Fortress, Blood River Chariot, and Nightmare Castle had broken apart, turning into fragments and falling from the sky.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage had also suffered huge losses even though it was inside the ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation. Up to a thousand mortal Gu had died, two Immortal Gu were on the verge of death, they already could not be used. Three out of seven of the duel stage’s edges had broken apart.</p>
<p>But Fang Yuan was happy about this.</p>
<p>He wanted Heavenly Court to continue attacking this ten extreme formation.</p>
<p>Once there was an opening, he could escape.</p>
<p>The situation was getting clearer, evidently, Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals were here for Shadow Sect. If Fang Yuan escaped now, Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals would not have the spare energy to attack him.</p>
<p>Under Fang Yuan’s expectant gaze, Heaven Overseeing Tower was surrounded in white light once again.</p>
<p>The white light gathered and became thicker, when it accumulated to its maximum capacity, it would unleash fate’s strongest attack again. By then, the ten extreme formation would definitely be breached.</p>
<p>Whoosh…!</p>
<p>With a burst of wind, Sacred Feather City moved towards Fang Yuan to crash into him.</p>
<p>“You are not dealing with Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals, but approaching me instead?” Fang Yuan snickered, but did not fight the other party.</p>
<p>He craftily maneuvered Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage, dodging everywhere and awaiting the next attack of Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>Boom!</p>
<p>Suddenly, Heaven Overseeing Tower shook immensely, the accumulated white light exploded and vanished.</p>
<p>Heaven Overseeing Tower was covered in blemishes, it was heavily damaged.</p>
<p>The Heavenly Court Gu Immortals in the tower were spitting out blood, facing the damage of the backlash.</p>
<p>In Sacred Feather City, Seven Star Child’s voice could be heard: “Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord, you fell for our trap.”</p>
<p>At this moment, in Sacred Feather City, there were more than ten Shadow Sect Gu Immortals, with immortal zombie Seven Star Child, immortal zombie Bo Qing, and Ying Wu Xie at the lead.</p>
<p>The other six Immortal Gu Houses were destroyed, but Shadow Sect’s Gu Immortals used some space path method to escape, gathering in this final Immortal Gu House, Sacred Feather City.</p>
<p>With the ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation, and having planned for so long, it was not strange that Shadow Sect could do this with their territorial advantage.</p>
<p>“How can this be?” Fang Yuan saw the damage and was shocked and doubtful.</p>
<p>Inside Heaven Overseeing Tower, the Heavenly Court Gu Immortals reacted one by one.</p>
<p>“Heaven Overseeing Tower is a rank nine Immortal Gu House, how can it be damaged so heavily?”</p>
<p>“Earlier, Shadow Sect did not strike, that means Heaven Overseeing Tower itself has a problem!”</p>
<p>“There are traitors in Heavenly Court!” Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord’s expression was grim as he looked at Bi Chen Tian and Lian Jiu Sheng fixedly.</p>
<p>After Sword Immortal Bo Qing awakened, sword lights rampaged over Central Continent, one had cut Heaven Overseeing Tower.</p>
<p>To prevent the sword qi from destroying more Gu worms and causing bigger damage, Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord had repaired it with Bi Chen Tian and Lian Jiu Sheng.</p>
<p>Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord had no issues of course, thus, the traitor was either Bi Chen Tian or Lian Jiu Sheng.</p>
<p>Hearing Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord’s words, the other Gu Immortals reacted, quickly moving away from these two suspects, encircling them in the process.</p>
<p>“Wait! How can I be a traitor from Shadow Sect?!” Bi Chen Tian’s expression was shocked and furious, he defended himself: “To join Heavenly Court, there are countless trials to go through. Heavenly Court has already existed for three million years, since when had any traitors appeared? Maybe this is a method from Shadow Sect, the urgent matter now is to destroy this refinement path formation! We must not fall for Shadow Sect’s scheme of sowing dissension!!”</p>
<p>Bi Chen Tian’s expression was sincere, his anxiety could not be concealed.</p>
<p>“Hahaha…” Lian Jiu Sheng beside him laughed loudly, his expression was dark as he looked around, speaking eerily: “Precisely because it was created three million years ago, any strict test or trial is already too outdated. How hard can it be to infiltrate Heavenly Court?”</p>
<p>“Lian Jiu Sheng, you!” Bi Chen Tian shouted, taking a step back in shock.</p>
<p>“So Lian Jiu Sheng is the traitor!”</p>
<p>“Are you Lian Jiu Sheng, or someone else?”</p>
<p>Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals were preparing themselves for a fight, but nobody made a move yet.</p>
<p>“Lian Jiu Sheng never existed in the first place. You want to stop me? Not even the rank nine Immortal Gu House can succeed! Hehehe, survive this first.”</p>
<p>Saying this, Lian Jiu Sheng died!</p>
<p>A large burst of green wind blew out from within him.</p>
<p>“Winds of assimilation!”</p>
<p>With his identity exposed, Lian Jiu Sheng immediately suicided, destroying his immortal aperture and creating the winds of assimilation.</p>
<p>Such resolution and boldness, he was just like Qin Bai Sheng.</p>
<p>Winds of assimilation could assimilate everything, they were extraordinary. But this was the internal space of the rank nine Immortal Gu House Heaven Overseeing Tower, before the winds of assimilation grew any further, Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord and the others spent a great deal of effort to quickly quell the winds.</p>
<p>But Lian Jiu Sheng’s death did not simply only create this wind.</p>
<p>Since there were traitors in Heavenly Court, was Lian Jiu Sheng the only one? Were there others?</p>
<p>The united Heavenly Court Gu Immortals were starting to have trust issues.</p>
<p>“Heavenly Court’s investigative methods have not been modified for many years. According to ‘his’ ability, it is not impossible to infiltrate Heavenly Court.” A Heavenly Court Gu Immortal said gravely.</p>
<p>“Is Heaven Overseeing Tower’s damage severe?” More people were concerned about this.</p>
<p>Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord shook his head: “Forty percent of Heaven Overseeing Tower was destroyed. We cannot use the attack from earlier again. If we attempt to force its use, it will only lead to Heaven Overseeing Tower breaking apart!”</p>
<p>After Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord said that, he sighed deeply.</p>
<p>If it were not for fate Gu being incomplete, Shadow Sect would definitely not succeed.</p>
<p>Although one had to admit that the creation of an undercover agent by Shadow Sect was simply brilliant.</p>
<p>Lian Jiu Sheng had been there for a thousand years, nobody had ever suspected him, once he took action, he temporarily destroyed Heaven Overseeing Tower’s strongest attacking method.</p>
<p>Of course, the underlying cause for this was Shadow Sect exploiting Red Lotus Demon Venerable’s achievement.</p>
<p>If fate Immortal Gu was fully intact, Heaven Overseeing Tower would be able to stop its own attack, there would be no backlash.</p>
<p>“Everyone, the traitor is already exposed, why are you still encircling me?” Bi Chen Tian could not bear to remain in this state, he asked this.</p>
<p>The immortals finally reacted, apologizing as they left the encirclement.</p>
<p>But Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals were not completely trusting of Bi Chen Tian, some of their gazes towards him carried deep suspicion.</p>
<p>Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord saw this and was alarmed and fearful, he quickly spoke to control the situation: “Everyone! Listen to me, do not be suspicious of one another. Lian Jiu Sheng was merely exaggerating, if he could continue to lurk, how could he expose himself? If Heavenly Court had many spies, Heaven Overseeing Tower would have been destroyed long ago, why would they only reach this point?”</p>
<p>The morale of the immortals rose, realizing at once.</p>
<p>“So close, we almost fell for their scheme.”</p>
<p>“Tower Lord is right, it is Shadow Sect’s limit to achieve this much!”</p>
<p>“If Lian Jiu Sheng could really resist our investigative methods, why would he expose himself and suicide? He had no confidence, this shows that our methods are still useful.”</p>
<p>“Let’s not consider how Lian Jiu Sheng got into Heavenly Court for now. The urgent matter now is the formation down there. Heaven Overseeing Tower might have lost its strongest attack, but we still have hope, as long as we work together, the power of a rank nine Immortal Gu House can still destroy their schemes!”</p>
<p>The immortals were all experienced veterans, after discussing, their morale was raised once again.</p>
<p>Heaven Overseeing Tower was activated, crashing down like a meteor.</p>
<p>Shadow Sect did not block it, they opened a gap in the formation and allowed Heaven Overseeing Tower to get in.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan wanted to leave, but was obstructed by Sacred Feather City.</p>
<p>Thus, inside the formation, three Immortal Gu Houses engaged in a chaotic battle.</p>
<p>Even though the rank nine Heaven Overseeing Tower was heavily damaged, it was still an overlord, it charged around with an unstoppable might.</p>
<p>Shadow Sect used the power of Sacred Feather City and the ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation to barely contest with Heaven Overseeing Tower.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Fang Yuan was maneuvering Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage, with evasion as his priority.</p>
<p>Compared to before, Fang Yuan’s predicament was much better now.</p>
<p>Because Shadow Sect and Heavenly Court had both suffered immense losses. As Fang Yuan was an otherworldly demon, his losses were actually the smallest among them.</p>
<p>“No need to rush, Shadow Sect and Heavenly Court are irreconcilable enemies, they will continue to fight intensely. As they continue to weaken themselves, I will have an opportunity. Right now, my priority is to preserve my strength.” Fang Yuan assessed.</p>
<p>“No need to be hasty, as long as we are inside the formation, the other party needs to focus their attention on Heaven Overseeing Tower. The longer we drag, the stronger the calamities and tribulations, and the higher our chances of winning.” Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord looked at the situation and explained to the Heavenly Court immortals.</p>
<p>“Stall!” Inside Sacred Feather City, immortal zombie Bo Qing called out.</p>
<p>Seven Star Child continued: “That’s right, we have Ying Wu Xie. The longer we drag this on, the higher his cultivation level, and the stronger his dream path killer move. Dream path is beyond this era, even Heaven Overseeing Tower cannot defend against it. Against dream path attacks, it would have almost no defense.”</p>
<p>“Are you talking about me?” Ying Wu Xie stared with wide opened eyes, pointing at himself.</p>
<p>Seven Star Child nodded: “Even Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord cannot deduce your actual situation. The only concern now is, the higher your cultivation level, the more sophisticated your killer move, lead soul into dream, becomes. But this immortal killer move needs more Gu worms to become stronger, the activation process also becomes more complex. You need to use it properly, there cannot be a mistake.”</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie breathed in deeply, waving his hands with a fearful look: “Uncle zombie, I am getting nervous after hearing that.”</p>
<p>Coincidentally, Shadow Sect, Heavenly Court, and Fang Yuan, all three of them were thinking of stalling for time. But in the end, who would get the last laugh?</p>

<h1>Chapter 1006</h1>
<p>Bam bam bam!</p>
<p>Waves and waves of lightning strikes rained down continuously.</p>
<p>Before the previous wave dissipated, the next wave struck.</p>
<p>The entire sky was like a dark blue forest.</p>
<p>This forest made entirely of lightning was covered in dark clouds.</p>
<p>The ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation had already turned into dark clouds. The ten extreme immortal zombies inside could not be found at all. This made Fang Yuan’s plan of attacking the formation cores a failure.</p>
<p>In the dark clouds, three meteor-like Immortal Gu Houses circled around one another, clashing from time to time, or attacking with a long range method.</p>
<p>All of them were patiently waiting for an opportunity, but whose tactic would emerge victorious?</p>
<p>As the tribulations increased in strength, the ten extreme formation was starting to fall short, the dark clouds had scattered slightly after being struck by lightning. But it had not reached the level of weakness that Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord wanted.</p>
<p>Because the three sides were restricting one another, Fang Yuan’s opportunity never came.</p>
<p>“Okay, I have rank seven cultivation level now.” Inside Sacred Feather City, Ying Wu Xie spoke cheerfully.</p>
<p>“Good, we will deal with Fang Yuan first and take Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage!” Seven Star Child replied.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie nodded.</p>
<p>Shadow Sect had specially designed the dream path killer move, lead soul into dream, for him. They had prepared a set of Gu worms, every rank of cultivation would have a corresponding version of ‘lead soul into dream’.</p>
<p>Why were they dealing with Fang Yuan first instead of Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals?</p>
<p>Firstly, Fang Yuan only had rank six cultivation level, he was easier to deal with. Furthermore, he had control of Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage, once he was dealt with, they would obtain Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage to fight against Heaven Overseeing Tower.</p>
<p>Secondly, Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals were also stalling, they were not emitting strong pressure on Shadow Sect. Shadow Sect’s Gu Immortals realized this and were going to make use of it.</p>
<p>Thirdly, Ying Wu Xie was only rank seven, his lead soul into dream was still ineffective against rank eight Gu Immortals. If Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals were attacked by it in advance, they would have time to try and deduce the killer move, they might be able to resolve it later.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie’s expression was serious as he started to use lead soul into dream.</p>
<p>“Don’t be nervous, do it slowly.”</p>
<p>“You can do it, good luck!”</p>
<p>The other Shadow Sect Gu Immortals were more nervous than Ying Wu Xie himself.</p>
<p>Rank seven dream path killer move — Lead Soul Into Dream!</p>
<p>Under the immortals’ expectant gazes, Ying Wu Xie did not disappoint them, he successfully activated the dream path killer move.</p>
<p>Lead soul into dream’s power was sent towards Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage formlessly.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was caught unprepared, he fell into a dream realm after being hit.</p>
<p>In the pavilion on the lake, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable was singing while playing her zither.</p>
<p>“Fallen songs and despondent heroes, difficulty in resisting the trials of fate.”</p>
<p>“Bent swords sink in the sand, rising and falling from ancient times, the rumbling of an unceasing heavenly river.”</p>
<p>“Alas…”</p>
<p>“Spectral night carries a soul into endless dreams, where can one rest in peace?”</p>
<p>“During spring and autumn body and mind shifts, only heaven’s will remains vast and boundless.”</p>
<p>Similar to the first two times, this time, a new wave of information somehow went into Fang Yuan’s mind.</p>
<p>“Spectral night carries a soul into endless dreams, where can one rest in peace? Spectral night… soul into endless dreams… so the truth behind Shadow Sect is like this!” Fang Yuan’s body and mind shook.</p>
<p>“Weird.” At the same time, Ying Wu Xie scratched his head inside Sacred Feather City, having a strange expression on his face.</p>
<p>“What is it? You did not succeed?” The other immortals asked.</p>
<p>They were extremely concerned about Ying Wu Xie’s performance.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie shook his head: “They fell asleep and entered a dream, but this immortal killer move’s effect is different from what was predicted.”</p>
<p>Shadow Sect’s Gu Immortals relaxed.</p>
<p>“Ying Wu Xie, this is the first time you are using the rank seven lead soul into dream, it is normal for it to be different from your expectations.”</p>
<p>“Since we succeeded, we should use the opportunity to obtain this Immortal Gu House!”</p>
<p>Sacred Feather City moved, turning around and charging towards Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage.</p>
<p>At the same time, the dark clouds rumbled intensely, the ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation coordinated with Sacred Feather City’s movement.</p>
<p>However, just as Sacred Feather City was about to hit Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage, Ying Wu Xie’s eyes opened wide “Oh no, he escaped from it.”</p>
<p>Lead soul into dream would have a wondrous effect against any other Gu Immortal.</p>
<p>But against Fang Yuan specifically, it had little effect.</p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>Because among all the immortals here, Fang Yuan’s dream path attainment was second to Ying Wu Xie’s.</p>
<p>He had his five hundred years of memories, and he had the special immortal killer move — Unravel Dream!</p>
<p>However, this move was only rank six, lead soul into dream was rank seven, it was superior. According to common sense, Fang Yuan should not be able to escape.</p>
<p>But the dream realm he was in was very strange.</p>
<p>Seemingly, because it was Star Constellation Immortal Venerable’s dream, the difficulty was very low.</p>
<p>If one use of unravel dream was not enough, he would use unravel dream more!</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had many dream path mortal Gu, he could expend them a huge number of times to use the killer move unravel dream.</p>
<p>The action of collecting the spring dream fruits had given Fang Yuan immense returns at this moment!</p>
<p>But it was too late when Fang Yuan escaped from the dream.</p>
<p>Boom!</p>
<p>At the next moment, Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage was sent flying.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan could not stand stably, he fell inside the Immortal Gu House.</p>
<p>But he had regained his senses, he quickly made Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage fly upwards, causing Sacred Feather City’s plan of immobilizing the Immortal Gu House to fail.</p>
<p>“What is going on?”</p>
<p>“How could he escape? That was lead soul into dream.”</p>
<p>Shadow Sect’s immortals shouted, their expressions were like they had seen something unthinkable.</p>
<p>This situation was too unexpected.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie scratched his head, he was worried too: “Let me try again!”</p>
<p>Immortal killer move — Lead Soul Into Dream!</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was hit again.</p>
<p>In the pavilion on the lake, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable looked at Fang Yuan, her eyes were deep like pools, her smile was light and mysterious.</p>
<p>Her hands were holding her zither.</p>
<p>But this time, she did not sing.</p>
<p>The music of the zither was clear and beautiful, but Fang Yuan did not have the time to enjoy it, he knew that he was in the dream realm, how could he stay any longer?</p>
<p>After using the killer move unravel dream countless times, he escaped from this dream realm.</p>
<p>“What is going on!” Inside Sacred Feather City, Ying Wu Xie screamed, he was being driven crazy.</p>
<p>Just as Sacred Feather City was about to get close to Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage, Fang Yuan woke up again, manipulating the Immortal Gu House and escaping.</p>
<p>Sacred Feather City was more damaged than Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage, its speed was slower now.</p>
<p>“Try again.” Seven Star Child’s expression was grim, he had a vague guess in his mind but he did not give up.</p>
<p>“Mm!” Ying Wu Xie quickly nodded, activating the killer move again.</p>
<p>“Damn it, this is too troublesome. The other party’s dream path attainment is beyond this era! Lead soul into dream… even if I am inside the Immortal Gu House, I cannot defend against it, I get hit every time.” Fang Yuan’s expression was not any better than that of Seven Star Child.</p>
<p>As time passed, there were bound to be improvements.</p>
<p>Immemorial, Remote Antiquity, Olden Antiquity, during those times, the world of human Gu Immortals was still not as strong as now.</p>
<p>Of course, the rank nine venerables were special cases, they were not considered in this.</p>
<p>In Fang Yuan’s previous life, dream path was flourishing, dream realms were everywhere. Many of the Immortal Gu Houses that super forces owned had added dream path Gu worms into them, to defend against methods of dream path, they were effective.</p>
<p>But Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage, which Fang Yuan owned now, originated from that mysterious Gu Immortal from the past, it was older than the current era, it could not defend against lead soul into dream.</p>
<p>“Immortal killer move — Lead Soul Into Dream!” Inside Sacred Feather City, Ying Wu Xie shouted again.</p>
<p>“How is it?” The immortals looked at Ying Wu Xie.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie nodded with certainty: “He is inside the dream.”</p>
<p>“Attack!” Bo Qing shouted, as Sacred Feather City got close to Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage.</p>
<p>But Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage dodged at the nick of time again.</p>
<p>“What is going on? Didn’t he go in? Why is his reaction faster this time?” Seven Star Child frowned.</p>
<p>“He went in, ah, ah, no, he came out.” Ying Wu Xie stammered.</p>
<p>The immortals were speechless.</p>
<p>Inside Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage.</p>
<p>“Oh Old Bai, at this crucial moment, I need to depend on you, my ally.” Fang Yuan had just come out of the dream realm, he patted Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s shoulder.</p>
<p>A moment ago, Fang Yuan knew that Shadow Sect would not let go of him, they were sure to drag him into the dream again.</p>
<p>Even though he could escape, he had to spend time for that.</p>
<p>During this moment, Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage had no one to manipulate it, the other party could attack in the meantime.</p>
<p>Thus, Fang Yuan brought out Tai Bai Yun Sheng to reinforce him.</p>
<p>Earlier, Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage could escape because Tai Bai Yun Sheng was controlling it.</p>
<p>The ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation restricted space path methods, Fixed Immortal Travel could not be used.</p>
<p>But before Fang Yuan came here, he had already sent Tai Bai Yun Sheng into his own immortal aperture!</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Hei Lou Lan and Fairy Li Shan were hiding inside Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s immortal aperture.</p>
<p>“Fang Yuan! You are taking too huge of a gamble!!” Tai Bai Yun Sheng manipulated the Immortal Gu House as he said with shock. Even though he had observed the battlefield through Fang Yuan, this old man was shocked beyond words at the involvement of Shadow Sect and Heavenly Court.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan laughed: “The other party has dream path methods, they might target you. Call out Fairy Li Shan and Hei Lou Lan!”</p>
<p>At the next moment, Hei Lou Lan and Fairy Li Shan emerged.</p>
<p>They had complex emotions on their faces, but among which, it was mostly shock.</p>
<p>Looking around, Hei Lou Lan said: “Fang Yuan, you are really good at putting yourself in danger.” Her tone had a hint of admiration.</p>
<p>Fairy Li Shan however, said: “Oh Fang Yuan, you are dragging us into a pit of fire.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan smiled, waving his hand and saying grandly: “What are you afraid of? When two tigers fight, one will definitely be injured. With you helping me, the other party cannot do anything to me. With the protection of the Immortal Gu House, we might have a chance of victory! Afterwards, you will be heavily rewarded.”</p>
<p>Hei Lou Lan nodded, she did not speak anymore. Her eyes were shining with bright light, she was assessing Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage.</p>
<p>Fairy Li Shan felt hugely vexed internally. Because of the new alliance agreement, she had to come. Earlier, Fang Yuan had used Yi Tian Mountain and Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage to coax them into lurking in Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s immortal aperture, to think that the situation had already developed beyond Fairy Li Shan’s imagination!</p>
<p>Through the Immortal Gu House, they could see the battlefield outside, this famous Gu Immortal who had made countless connections in Northern Plains was feeling great trepidation now.</p>
<p>Like what Tai Bai Yun Sheng had said earlier, Fang Yuan was taking too huge of a gamble!</p>
<p>Could Fairy Li Shan not feel trepidation?</p>

<h1>Chapter 1007</h1>
<p>“Fairy Li Shan, can you contact Blazing Heaven Demoness now?” Fang Yuan observed the battlefield through the Immortal Gu House and asked.</p>
<p>In the current situation, the more reinforcements they had, the better.</p>
<p>Blazing Heaven Demoness was not part of the new alliance agreement, this was likely Hei Lou Lan and Fairy Li Shan’s arrangement, to guard against Fang Yuan. But at this moment, Hei Lou Lan and Fairy Li Shan were both stuck in here, would they not want Blazing Heaven Demoness to assist them?</p>
<p>Fairy Li Shan knew that they had fallen for Fang Yuan’s scheme, she rolled her eyes and tried to contact her.</p>
<p>In a moment, her expression was pale as she shook her head: “No! This ten extreme formation is amazing. It can even restrict my information path methods.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan nodded, he did not speak, instead he thought: “It seems that only after breaking out of the formation can we contact this strong ally.”</p>
<p>Actually, even if Blazing Heaven Demoness could come, Fang Yuan would not feel assured in letting her stay in the Immortal Gu House.</p>
<p>But if she was outside, it was too dangerous, nor could it be justified to not let her in.</p>
<p>Ignoring Blazing Heaven Demoness for now.</p>
<p>With the assistance of Hei Lou Lan, Tai Bai Yun Sheng, and Fairy Li Shan, Shadow Sect could not take down Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>And to deal with Heaven Overseeing Tower, the rank seven Ying Wu Xie was not strong enough.</p>
<p>As they continued to stall, the tribulations got stronger.</p>
<p>Heavenly tribulations fell one after another, there was no repetition.</p>
<p>Suddenly, golden light shot out from the sky, shining brightly!</p>
<p>Crack crack crack…</p>
<p>A series of crisp cracking sounds occurred.</p>
<p>Tens of thousands of golden vajra pearls descended from the sky in an endless fashion.</p>
<p>“Grand tribulation!” Shadow Sect’s Gu Immortals were all taken aback.</p>
<p>“Hahaha, this is the relic vajra tribulation!” Inside Heaven Overseeing Tower, Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals laughed as they stroked their beards, they knew what this tribulation was.</p>
<p>This tribulation had surpassed the levels of the ten great catastrophes, catastrophes like the snow war tribulation lightning were still within the limits of a heavenly tribulation.</p>
<p>But this relic vajra tribulation was stronger than a heavenly tribulation, it was a grand tribulation!</p>
<p>After Gu Masters ascend to immortal, they are troubled by calamities and tribulations. According to the time in their immortal aperture, once in a while, calamities and tribulations would occur.</p>
<p>Calamities and tribulations contain both disaster and fortune, if one could not pass them, they might die, but if they pass, their foundation would deepen, their cultivation level would rise.</p>
<p>Among which, rank six Gu Immortals had green grape immortal essence. They faced an earthly calamity every ten years, and a heavenly tribulation every one hundred years. After three hundred years, after three heavenly tribulations, they would become rank seven.</p>
<p>Rank seven Gu Immortals had red date immortal essence. They faced an earthly calamity every ten years, a heavenly tribulation every fifty years, and a grand tribulation every one hundred years. After three hundred years, they would become rank eight.</p>
<p>As for rank eight Gu Immortals, their immortal apertures would create white litchi immortal essence. They faced a heavenly tribulation every ten years, a grand tribulation every fifty years, and a myriad tribulation every one hundred years. After three myriad tribulations, they would become the invincible rank nine Gu Immortals!</p>
<p>Earthly calamities, heavenly tribulations, grand tribulations, myriad tribulations, the calamities and tribulations were ranked according to increasing strength.</p>
<p>Heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities were already very dangerous, grand tribulations were even more terrifying. Countless Gu Immortals had died because of them, being wiped out of existence, thus, every Gu Immortal expert was wary and careful, they worked day and night to cultivate in great difficulty, facing this pressure.</p>
<p>As for myriad tribulations, there was a term in the cultivation world, known as apocalyptic myriad tribulations, it was extremely difficult for Gu Immortals to survive them. Once someone survives a myriad tribulation, it would be an incredible glory, Gu Immortals from all over would look up to and admire them.</p>
<p>In the long history of humanity, there were only ten people who had passed three myriad tribulations, they were the ten venerables.</p>
<p>Sword Immortal Bo Qing had passed two myriad tribulations and was highly favored to become a sword path Immortal Venerable. He failed once on this third tribulation and barely survived. When he tried again, he died.</p>
<p>At present in Northern Plains, Old Ancestor Xue Hu was desperately trying to pass the first myriad tribulation, he had spared no expenses in refining fortune rivalling heaven Immortal Gu. As for Heavenly Lord Bai Zu and Yao Huang, they were still far away from the first myriad tribulation.</p>
<p>They might be old, but they had all used time path methods to slow the rate of time in their immortal apertures. Some Gu Immortals fear calamities and tribulations, they even might spend a huge fortune to completely remove the tributary of the river of time in their immortal aperture, this way, the time in their immortal aperture would be completely still, the calamities and tribulations would not approach.</p>
<p>But in that case, the immortal aperture would not be able to produce immortal essence, and without undergoing calamities and tribulations, the Gu Immortal’s dao marks would not increase, their cultivation level would stagnate.</p>
<p>And time path methods that stalled for time had drawbacks. They could not stay in the paused time for overly long, they had to pay even higher costs to maintain it.</p>
<p>But in the current Gu Immortal world, to prepare amply for tribulations, most Gu Immortals would use time path methods to slow the time in the immortal aperture.</p>
<p>Even expert Gu Immortals were no exception.</p>
<p>This was because, the higher the cultivation level, the greater the power of the calamities and tribulations, and the more dangerous they become.</p>
<p>Most of the rank eight Gu Immortals in Heavenly Court were sleeping during normal times.</p>
<p>This hibernation was one of the best time slowing methods in the world.</p>
<p>For rank eight Gu Immortals, they had to face a challenge that threatened them every fifty years, those were grand tribulations.</p>
<p>Right now, in the sky, the first grand tribulation descended.</p>
<p>Relic vajra tribulation!</p>
<p>Even though it was not directed at them, Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals felt joy but also deep wariness.</p>
<p>Vajra pearls crashed into the dark clouds with crackling sounds.</p>
<p>This thick dark cloud could be seen thinning at a rapid pace.</p>
<p>Soon, the uppermost layer of dark clouds melted like ice that was mixed with hot water.</p>
<p>Seeing this, Shadow Sect’s immortals had grim expressions, their brows were knitted.</p>
<p>“Great.” Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals smiled, they had used this stalling tactic, it had finally started to work.</p>
<p>“Even without us doing anything, the other party might lose already. Hahaha.” Bi Chen Tian laughed.</p>
<p>Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord’s gaze was deep, he said with admiration and deep emotions: “The other party might have been extremely strong during his time, but how can he surpass heaven and earth? Humans should respect heaven and earth, compared to it, what can the strength of a Gu Immortal do? Looking at the rank nine Gu Venerables, which one of them could live forever? Respecting and revering heaven and earth, following the will of heaven, this is the true way of cultivation.”</p>
<p>Facing the might of the grand tribulation, the ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation was slowly losing its sustainability.</p>
<p>“We cannot resist it head on!” The formation was controlled by people, it was naturally more flexible than the battlefield killer moves inside Yu Lu blessed land.</p>
<p>The dark clouds opened up a space and let the vajra pearls into the formation.</p>
<p>Crack crack crack…</p>
<p>The vajra pearls hit the three Immortal Gu Houses in the formation.</p>
<p>Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord sneered, he knew that Shadow Sect was planning to make Heaven Overseeing Tower endure some of the pressure for them.</p>
<p>Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord was unwilling to see that happen.</p>
<p>But he could do nothing.</p>
<p>He was inside the formation, there was nothing he could do.</p>
<p>He activated the Immortal Gu House and tried to dodge.</p>
<p>“Fate Immortal Gu is inside Heaven Overseeing Tower. One of the main materials in refining fate Immortal Gu is heaven’s will! And these tribulations are also due to the will of heaven! Heaven Overseeing Tower, overseeing the world, we follow heaven’s will and uphold justice for heaven. Thus, under the tribulations, Heaven Overseeing Tower suffers far less damage than the other Immortal Gu Houses.” Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord spoke.</p>
<p>The implications of his words were very obvious, he wanted to continue stalling. When the ten extreme formation reveals a flaw, he would activate the Immortal Gu House and unleash a victorious attack!</p>
<p>Towards this, the other Heavenly Court Gu Immortals had no objections.</p>
<p>“Oh no, right now, we have to endure more of the pressure, otherwise, the ten extreme formation would not last until the end.”</p>
<p>“So what if it’s a grand tribulation? Our plan defies heaven, we had already seen such a thing from Dong Fang Chang Fan. The appearance of a grand tribulation was within our expectations!”</p>
<p>“Sacrificing other Immortal Gu Houses to protect this Sacred Feather City, it was for this moment!!”</p>
<p>Shadow Sect’s Gu Immortals showed resolute expressions, they were extremely prepared.</p>
<p>Above Sacred Feather City, a faint light appeared.</p>
<p>This light looked pink, but in truth, it was pure white, there was only a hint of pinkness.</p>
<p>The strange thing was, this light made people feel a strong sense of warmth in their hearts.</p>
<p>But in essence, this was not a light.</p>
<p>It was a situation when the power of wishes was scattered.</p>
<p>Each Immortal Gu House, even though were proficient in every aspect, had their respective specialties. For example, Dark Prison’s specialty was in capturing, rearing, and enslaving desolate beasts and ancient desolate beasts. If its rank could be raised, it would also be able to subdue immemorial desolate beasts.</p>
<p>Rank nine Heaven Overseeing Tower’s specialty was in unleashing the attack of fate, none of the targets could defend or resist it. Unfortunately, because of rank nine Immortal Gu Fate’s current condition, it could no longer be used.</p>
<p>As for Sacred Feather City, the Immortal Gu House that Shadow Sect spared no effort in obtaining, it had its specialty too.</p>
<p>That was, it could absorb the power of wishes from past and present generations of feathermen in the city, to automatically refine wish power mortal Gu.</p>
<p>This Sacred Feather City had existed for a long time, occupied by the feathermen. Generations after generations of feathermen lived in the immemorial green heaven fragment world, the stored wish power mortal Gu was incredibly large in number.</p>
<p>Even though the immortal killer move heavenly wish already expended a large number of them, more than half was still left. Or rather, the feathermen did not know of any other ways to use them.</p>
<p>They did not, but Shadow Sect had an incredible background, it originated from long ago, it had a method.</p>
<p>Thus, Sacred Feather City’s wish power mortal Gu were continuously activated, consumed without counting the cost.</p>
<p>Wish power Gu was a consumable Gu.</p>
<p>Obtaining the power of wishes, Sacred Feather City experienced growth in all aspects.</p>
<p>It flew down and blocked the relic vajra tribulation, helping the ten extreme formation endure much of the pressure.</p>
<p>“What an amazing tribulation, in just a short time, Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage is already showing signs of breaking.” Hei Lou Lan shouted.</p>
<p>Fairy Li Shan’s expression was ashen, her gaze was wavering.</p>
<p>This grand tribulation was too terrifying, if she had to face it alone, she could only endure two or three pearls.</p>
<p>But there were tens of thousands of vajra pearls in this grand tribulation, and they were still growing in number, unceasingly!</p>
<p>Fang Yuan laughed instead: “Hahaha, I was waiting for this. I will show you the true power of Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage now! Absorb!”</p>
<p>At the next moment, thoughts exploded like fireworks in his mind, starlight was shining dazzlingly.</p>
<p>All of his concentration and attention was on Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage.</p>
<p>This Immortal Gu House could use time path methods to seal any attacks aimed at it, before sending them back at enemies.</p>
<p>But this method, when used, needed the controller to be completely focused, the Gu Immortal needed heavy concentration.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was not familiar with the Immortal Gu House earlier, nor could he manipulate the Immortal Gu House to move and deal with his enemies while using this method.</p>
<p>But now, with Tai Bai Yun Sheng and the rest helping him, and with Sacred Feather City busy with the grand tribulation, Fang Yuan could finally find time to use Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage’s unique power!</p>

<h1>Chapter 1008</h1>
<p>Under Fang Yuan’s control, Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage erupted with a dazzling red light.</p>
<p>The red light enshrouded a large distance, burning like a raging inferno.</p>
<p>A mysterious strength was spread over the fire, any vajra tribulation pearl that hit the Immortal Gu House would be engulfed by the red light and sealed inside.</p>
<p>The rank nine immortal essence of Giant Sun Immortal Venerable allowed Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage to display its strongest ability.</p>
<p>Crack…</p>
<p>The whole Immortal Gu House shook intensely and started cracking.</p>
<p>It was barely able to absorb the relic vajra tribulation.</p>
<p>After all, this was a grand tribulation!</p>
<p>But Fang Yuan still succeeded.</p>
<p>More and more vajra pearls were controlled by him, sealed inside Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage temporarily.</p>
<p>However, Fang Yuan had to pay a huge price for this.</p>
<p>“We battled for so long, but the portion of Giant Sun’s immortal essence I took out was not expended by even thirty percent. But after absorbing a hundred vajra pearls, all of that portion of Giant Sun’s immortal essence was expended!”</p>
<p>The rapid expenditure of Giant Sun’s immortal essence caused Fang Yuan to be inwardly shocked.</p>
<p>But right now was not the time to be distressed over the loss, he took out more of Giant Sun’s immortal essence.</p>
<p>Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage moved freely, not only was it safe in the grand tribulation, it also absorbed even more vajra pearls, its strength continuing to increase instead.</p>
<p>Heaven Overseeing Tower was a rank nine Immortal Gu House with astonishing defense and with fate Immortal Gu as its core, it had a defensive effect against calamities and tribulations.</p>
<p>But Fang Yuan’s Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage, under the effect of Giant Sun’s immortal essence, was able to display extraordinary might, displaying the wonders of time path, its strength did not decrease but increased.</p>
<p>After a wave of this grand tribulation, Shadow Sect’s Sacred Feather City suffered the biggest damage. Even if they had used large numbers of wish power mortal Gu, it could not match Fang Yuan and Heavenly Court.</p>
<p>The relic vajra tribulation continued for eight minutes before stopping abruptly.</p>
<p>Without letting the three sides have time for a breather, a second wave of tribulation descended.</p>
<p>Circles of light lit up in the sky, from within the circles of light, multiple giant deer charged out.</p>
<p>Each of these deer were the size of an elephant. Their bodies were translucent, seemingly formed from white light.</p>
<p>Immemorial desolate beast — Destiny Light Deer!</p>
<p>This was a grand tribulation formed from immemorial desolate beasts. Every immemorial desolate beast could match a rank eight Gu Immortal. And now there was a whole twenty-two of these deer.</p>
<p>That is to say, there were twenty-two beasts of rank eight battle strength!</p>
<p>No doubt, even if these deer did not have any wild Immortal Gu on them, this grand tribulation’s power was much more terrifying than the first wave.</p>
<p>The light deer group galloped towards the ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation, in an instant, Shadow Sect’s group paled.</p>
<p>A gap quickly expanded in the ten extreme formation, letting half of the deer group enter inside.</p>
<p>“Destiny light deer have nine colors corresponding to the immemorial nine heavens. These deer are all white light deer, it seems they should come from white heaven.”</p>
<p>“Destiny light deer have gentle natures, they are named in beautiful legends where they carried humans to the heavens. Who would have thought that under the influence of heaven’s will, these deer would go berserk and be filled with intent to battle!”</p>
<p>Despite Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals not wanting to participate, by being in this situation, they were unable to evade and were also involved.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan controlled Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage to retreat to the edge of the battle.</p>
<p>These light deer were alive, he was unable to use the Immortal Gu House to seal them.</p>
<p>The attacks that could be sealed by Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage using the mysteries of time path were things like wind, water, earth and fire, not beasts.</p>
<p>Fortunately, Fang Yuan had captured many vajra pearls earlier, he used them now to force the deer away.</p>
<p>In the second wave of tribulations, Heavenly Court’s situation was best, Fang Yuan second, and Shadow Sect had the heaviest pressure on them, their situation extremely critical.</p>
<p>At the crucial moment, it was immortal zombie Bo Qing who stood out.</p>
<p>He activated famous and dazzling sword path killer moves like five finger fist heart sword, their power unstoppable and terrifying.</p>
<p>Most of the destiny light deer lost their lives on the spot under the slashes of sword lights. Even if they had wild Immortal Gu, it was of no use.</p>
<p>Bo Qing was already dead, but his immortal zombie body was filled with an unimaginable number of sword path dao marks. With the amplification of these dao marks, even the same killer move would have completely different effects from when Qin Bai Sheng used it, the difference was gigantic.</p>
<p>Immortal zombie Bo Qing persevered bitterly, finally letting Shadow Sect get through the second wave of grand tribulations.</p>
<p>However, the dark clouds in the sky was already extremely sparse, the ten extreme physique immortal zombies were no longer able to conceal themselves and were vaguely visible.</p>
<p>“The formation has already weakened to its lowest point, charge!” Fang Yuan resolutely called out.</p>
<p>Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage shot out vajra pearls, attempting to break the formation.</p>
<p>On another side, Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord also saw this good opportunity, and Heaven Overseeing Tower also moved out, adding insult to Shadow Sect’s injury.</p>
<p>“What to do?!” Inside Sacred Feather City, Ying Wu Xie had his head in his hands, unable to do anything to help.</p>
<p>The expressions of Shadow Sect’s other Gu Immortals were also ashen, the mood was extremely solemn.</p>
<p>It was already the crucial moment between victory or defeat.</p>
<p>The ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation was completed, and would either succeed or fail, there was no other result. Once the formation was broken, everything would fall apart in succession.</p>
<p>“There is nothing else we can do, we can only sacrifice Zombie Alliance!” Seven Star Child heaved a long sigh, before coming to a decision.</p>
<p>The Zombie Alliance branches that were spread throughout the five regions were actually subordinate forces of Shadow Sect; like how the ten great ancient sects of Central Continent were subordinates to Heavenly Court.</p>
<p>It was just that Shadow Sect was extremely covert, many Zombie Alliance higher ups were not even aware of it. This secret was hidden in the deepest parts of Zombie Alliance.</p>
<p>The ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation was the greatest plan of Shadow Sect, made by exhausting everything they had.</p>
<p>At this moment, Shadow Sect was forced to make a painful sacrifice, giving up Zombie Alliance to salvage this situation.</p>
<p>The backup plan was activated, one after another, figures appeared within the ten extreme formation.</p>
<p>These were immortal zombies from all the Zombie Alliance branches. Numerous rank six, rank seven and rank eight zombies appeared, their numbers were shocking.</p>
<p>“This is?!” Inside Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage, Hei Lou Lan, Tai Bai Yun Sheng and the rest were wide-eyed as they blurted out together.</p>
<p>“Hmph! Sure enough, Shadow Sect was behind Zombie Alliance,” Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord frowned, killing intent surging within him, his gaze turning cold, “Good! We will catch all these rebels that defy heaven’s will in one fell swoop.”</p>
<p>But unexpectedly, these immortal zombies did not seem to be in a conscious state and were like puppets controlled by wires.</p>
<p>Before Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord could make a move, they actually sacrificed themselves, turning into a portion of the ten extreme formation!</p>
<p>“Big sister!” Fairy Li Shan howled in grief.</p>
<p>Among these immortal zombies, she saw Blazing Heaven Demoness’ figure.</p>
<p>But this rank eight immortal zombie, the leader of Northern Plains’ Zombie Alliance branch, did not seem to be in a conscious state, showing a blank expression.</p>
<p>Under the gazes of Fairy Li Shan and Hei Lou Lan, Blazing Heaven Demoness also followed these immortal zombies, turning herself into immortal material, merging into the huge formation.</p>
<p>Obtaining these immortal zombie bodies filled with dao marks as well as countless Immortal Gu and immortal apertures, the ten extreme formation’s dark clouds condensed and instantly expanded, surpassing its previous peak state, and reaching an unprecedented level, almost covering the whole sky.</p>
<p>Fairy Li Shan wept tears of sadness.</p>
<p>Hei Lou Lan sank into silence.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan frowned, the rank eight reinforcement he was anticipating had died miserably in front of his eyes.</p>
<p>Who could have though Zombie Alliance had such a relation to Shadow Sect.</p>
<p>Even if someone had seen through the truth and spoke it out, who would believe them?</p>
<p>Spreading throughout the five regions, an overlord among super forces, the huge Zombie Alliance was actually only a front for Shadow Sect.</p>
<p>“Previously, Shadow Sect issued a compulsory task to refine Gu formations on a large scale, it was probably to scheme against Zombie Alliance’s members.” Tai Bai Yun Sheng suddenly came to a realization, feeling his heart chilling at the sinister motive of Shadow Sect.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s expression was also unsightly.</p>
<p>“I had guessed the relation between Shadow Sect and Zombie Alliance, but had not expected there to be such a situation! My previous life’s memories misled me. After all, during the five regions chaotic war, all the Zombie Alliance branches had existed…”</p>
<p>“Such an immense cost! Killing almost all the immortal zombies of the five regions, and making them into immortal materials to put in this ten extreme formation. What do they want to refine? Could it be the legendary Gu for eternal life?!”</p>
<p>Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord similarly had an extremely unsightly expression.</p>
<p>The immortals from Heavenly Court behind him also showed worried expressions.</p>
<p>Even if they were experienced and knowledgeable, with high status and power, they could not help but be awestruck by this astonishing move of Shadow Sect.</p>
<p>From this moment onwards, the super force with the most Gu Immortals over the five regions, Zombie Alliance, was completely destroyed, dissipating in the wind!</p>
<p>Swoosh swoosh swoosh!</p>
<p>A piercing sound penetrated everyone’s ears.</p>
<p>The third wave of grand tribulations had descended.</p>
<p>Heaven’s will was ferocious, no matter what Shadow Sect was trying to refine, it was clear that it was absolutely a heaven defying thing and had already provoked the fury of heaven’s will.</p>
<p>Even heaven and earth did not permit its creation!</p>
<p>The third wave of grand tribulations was much more terrifying than both the previous two grand tribulations combined.</p>
<p>Sharp rain started falling from the sky. Every drizzle of rain was only half an inch long, but they were incomparably sharp as if they could pierce through everything in the world!</p>
<p>Grand tribulation — Absolute Piercing Rain.</p>
<p>The ten extreme formation was reconstructed, but the dense rumbling dark clouds seemed to have suffered a huge blow, unable to regain their strength.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan repeated the same thing, using Giant Sun’s immortal essence to activate Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage to absorb the piercing rain.</p>
<p>It was just that this time, he clearly felt the difficulty was many times higher than earlier.</p>
<p>After holding on bitterly for a while, Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage was pierced in many places with large numbers of Gu worms continuing to be sacrificed.</p>
<p>“If this continues, the Immortal Gu House can probably only last fifteen minutes of time.” Hei Lou Lan called out to Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan also did not have any good methods.</p>
<p>Despite him already using all his strength and absorbing many attacks with Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage, he still was not able to protect everything.</p>
<p>The arrow-like rain he was dealing with was only about ten percent of the total.</p>
<p>Shadow Sect was suffering most of the arrow-like rain.</p>
<p>With this, anyone would know the terror of the grand tribulation. Under such a fatal predicament, rank eight Gu Immortals absolutely would not have a good time.</p>
<p>The third wave ended, Sacred Feather City and Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage were both shattered, the remaining Gu worms were stored by the respective Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>Heaven Overseeing Tower was filled with cracks, many times deeper than before, a corner of the tower had even completely crumbled apart.</p>
<p>“Everything is over. The final victor can only be Heavenly Court!” Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord laughed loudly, activating the strongest attack of Heaven Overseeing Tower.</p>
<p>This was an attack that carried the power of fate.</p>
<p>Unavoidable and unstoppable.</p>
<p>At the next moment, Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord saw: Under Heaven Overseeing Tower’s attack, the formation cracked open, Shadow Sect’s Gu Immortals suffered countless casualties, Fang Yuan and the rest also died together!</p>

<h1>Chapter 1009</h1>
<p>“It’s over.” Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord stood on top of Heaven Overseeing Tower, looking at the battlefield.</p>
<p>In his field of vision, Shadow Sect’s Sacred Feather City had turned into rubble, Bo Qing, Seven Star Child and others had fallen to the ground as corpses. Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage was heavily damaged, the Gu Immortals’ corpses inside were mostly in pieces.</p>
<p>Dark clouds faded, a beam of light shot down from the sky, it was shining with golden brilliance, light burst out.</p>
<p>“This is what happens to those who defy heaven’s will! Hahaha…” Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord laughed loudly.</p>
<p>But after a few seconds, he frowned, feeling suspicious that something was amiss: “Oh wait, Heaven Overseeing Tower was damaged and cannot use Fate’s strongest attack, why did it manage to attack earlier?”</p>
<p>“Also… I could not help but laugh earlier, that is not my normal behavior, what is going on?”</p>
<p>At this moment, Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord could vaguely hear some faint voices in the sky.</p>
<p>“Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord, wake up…”</p>
<p>“Quickly wake up!”</p>
<p>“Wake up? Aren’t I awake now?” Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord felt greatly surprised, the suspicion inside him grew.</p>
<p>Suddenly, his body shook, he realized the truth.</p>
<p>“Oh no! I fell into their trap, everything that happened is not real, I am inside a dream realm!”</p>
<p>As he thought of this, he realized more and more issues.</p>
<p>Both parties had died too easily. Especially Shadow Sect, they were backed by ‘that person’ after all!</p>
<p>Furthermore, the other Heavenly Court Gu Immortals were missing, in the entire tower, he was the only person.</p>
<p>“I can confirm that I am in a dream realm! However, how do I leave?” Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord was anxious, even though he knew he was in a dream, he did not have unravel dream like Fang Yuan, thus, he could not escape from the dream realm.</p>
<p>Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord was sleeping soundly.</p>
<p>Snore snore snore…</p>
<p>He was snoring loudly, lying down on the concrete floor with a band of Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals around him.</p>
<p>Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord was not only old, he was very tired.</p>
<p>Earlier, in order to repair fate Immortal Gu, he consecutively refined Gu, and later, he spent a lot of time repairing Heaven Overseeing Tower, protecting Heavenly Lotus Sect, and fought intensely with Bo Qing and the others. After that, he found Shadow Sect’s secret mastermind and mobilized Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals to use Heaven Overseeing Tower and enter white heaven, he did not rest at all, traveling towards Yi Tian Mountain in Southern Border.</p>
<p>And when he arrived, he had to control Heaven Overseeing Tower to engage in a huge battle.</p>
<p>Thus, the moment he went into the dream realm, his entire body relaxed, he snored extremely loudly, he was in a deep sleep.</p>
<p>Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals surrounded Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord in the middle, they poured water on him, they used fire to burn him, they shouted until their throats were sore, they tried all methods, but he could not wake up.</p>
<p>This was the power of dream path.</p>
<p>It was beyond this era, just this one move could not be stopped.</p>
<p>Even these rank eight Heavenly Court Gu Immortals had no way to resolve this.</p>
<p>The scene was quite amusing.</p>
<p>Outside Heaven Overseeing Tower, the battle was extremely heated, the sky turned dark, as the grand tribulation rumbled.</p>
<p>Heaven Overseeing Tower floated in the sky, unmoving.</p>
<p>Inside the tower, the Heavenly Court immortals were anxious, Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord’s soul was deeply in the dream, they had no methods to wake him.</p>
<p>All they could do was to use some wisdom path methods to transmit to him, to try and get Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord to wake himself up.</p>
<p>On Shadow Sect’s side, the atmosphere was no longer as dreary, it was much more relaxed now.</p>
<p>“Ying Wu Xie, good job!”</p>
<p>“This is the power of dream path? Amazing!”</p>
<p>“Ah… after so long, you finally have rank eight cultivation level.”</p>
<p>Shadow Sect’s Gu Immortals surrounded Ying Wu Xie, some of them relaxed, after all, the situation earlier was too dangerous. Some were in awe towards the power of dream path, some patted Ying Wu Xie’s shoulders and praised him continuously.</p>
<p>After fighting for so long, Ying Wu Xie with the Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique had advanced again, becoming a rank eight dream path Gu Immortal.</p>
<p>Thus, he could use a rank eight immortal killer move — Lead Soul Into Dream.</p>
<p>After two failures, during his third attempt at this killer move, he finally succeeded, sending Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord into a dream.</p>
<p>The effect was immediate, with Heaven Overseeing Tower stopping all movements, Shadow Sect’s pressure was relieved greatly.</p>
<p>Seven Star Child asked: “How long will Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord be trapped for?”</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie answered: “He is a rank eight Gu Immortal who has passed one myriad tribulation, the dream realm can only trap him for several minutes. But even if he escapes, I can still use the killer move to lead his soul into a dream once again!”</p>
<p>“Good, Yan Shi did not create you in vain.” Seven Star Child sighed.</p>
<p>At this time, Heaven Overseeing Tower began to move again.</p>
<p>“What is going on?” Shadow Sect’s immortals were shocked.</p>
<p>Someone looked towards Ying Wu Xie: “Did Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord get out?”</p>
<p>Earlier, Ying Wu Xie’s attack was useless on Fang Yuan, he kept entering and exiting, this made the confidence of the Shadow Sect Gu Immortals fall.</p>
<p>But this time, Ying Wu Xie shook his head, he was certain: “Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord is still in the dream. It seems that the other Heavenly Court Gu Immortals are manipulating the tower instead!”</p>
<p>That was right, seeing that they could not wake up Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord, the Heavenly Court Gu Immortals took over Heaven Overseeing Tower.</p>
<p>Even though Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord was asleep, the entirety of Heaven Overseeing Tower did not belong to him alone. After Star Constellation Immortal Venerable died, Heaven Overseeing Tower had become Heavenly Court’s public property.</p>
<p>Right now, Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord was fast asleep and unconscious, the other Heavenly Court Gu Immortals had the rights to take over control of Heaven Overseeing Tower.</p>
<p>But soon, Heaven Overseeing Tower stopped moving again.</p>
<p>This was seen by Fang Yuan’s group.</p>
<p>Hei Lou Lan and Fairy Li Shan had doubtful and angry expressions: “What is Heavenly Court trying to do?!”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s expression was grim: “It seems that Shadow Sect used dream path methods to deal with the Heavenly Court Gu Immortals, just like what they tried with me. But… why didn’t they target Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals earlier?”</p>
<p>“What is the point of considering this now? We do not have the Immortal Gu House to protect us, and Shadow Sect has also lost Sacred Feather City. Only Heavenly Court still has Heaven Overseeing Tower. But they are obstructed by Shadow Sect, we are in grave danger! Fang Yuan, can you use Fixed Immortal Travel again?” Tai Bai Yun Sheng was full of worries.</p>
<p>“I can’t.” Fang Yuan shook his head, sighing deeply.</p>
<p>“It seems that now, we are dead meat.” Hei Lou Lan smiled bitterly, a harsh light shined in her eyes as she clenched her fists: “It is a pity that Hei Cheng isn’t dead yet, I cannot avenge my mother even up until death!”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan glanced at her, he did not speak.</p>
<p>After the third grand tribulation, Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage and Sacred Feather City had broken apart, only Heaven Overseeing Tower was left.</p>
<p>Heavenly Court was the hope of Fang Yuan’s side, but that hope had vanished.</p>
<p>Not even considering a fourth grand tribulation, simply the ten extreme formation was something Fang Yuan and the others could not hope to survive against.</p>
<p>“Is this really it?” Fang Yuan inspected Spring Autumn Cicada, too little time had passed, it had not recovered much, it could not be used again.</p>
<p>At this time, in the sky, the sound of a zither playing could be heard.</p>
<p>Right now was daytime, but the sky was shining with endless starlight.</p>
<p>The music entered the formation, into the Gu Immortals’ minds.</p>
<p>“Oh no! The ten extreme formation also defends against sound path methods, but the formation cannot block this zither music at all. This is the fourth grand tribulation — zither mind tribulation!”</p>
<p>“And the starlight in the sky, it is so bright even during daytime. This is the fifth grand tribulation — star flow tribulation!”</p>
<p>“Why is it so dangerous?! The fourth and fifth grand tribulations appeared together!!”</p>
<p>Seeing this, Shadow Sect’s Gu Immortals shouted, they forgot about both Heavenly Court and Fang Yuan for the moment.</p>
<p>In Heaven Overseeing Tower, Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals also drew in deep breaths.</p>
<p>The might of the grand tribulations increased according to the number of tribulations.</p>
<p>The fourth tribulation, in terms of might, surpassed the first three grand tribulations together. As for the fifth star flow tribulation, it was stronger than zither mind tribulation, absolute piercing rain, immemorial light deer, and relic vajra tribulation combined.</p>
<p>“What is Shadow Sect trying to refine? They actually attracted such fury from heaven, to send down such terrifying disaster!” Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals and Fang Yuan had many questions.</p>
<p>The two grand tribulations had not descended yet, they were still storing power.</p>
<p>Shadow Sect’s Gu Immortals had grim expressions, they barely managed to endure the first three tribulations. And now, the fourth and fifth grand tribulations were here. Anyone could feel the deep animosity of heaven, it was not going to give Shadow Sect any way to live.</p>
<p>What now?</p>
<p>At once, Shadow Sect’s Gu Immortals were lost and helpless.</p>
<p>Their Immortal Gu House was destroyed, the ten extreme formation had suffered a huge blow from the third grand tribulation, even if all the Gu Immortals were sacrificed, they could not defend against these two grand tribulations.</p>
<p>“It seems that we are going to die in the grand tribulations after all.” Hei Lou Lan sighed.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan squinted, he had a different opinion.</p>
<p>Regardless of what Shadow Sect was trying to refine, they had first created the ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation, killing Southern Border’s Gu Immortals to use their immortal apertures and bodies as Gu refinement material, before sacrificing all of Zombie Alliance’s members as fuel.</p>
<p>Furthermore, they even lost seven Immortal Gu Houses!</p>
<p>The price that Shadow Sect paid was unheard of, if Fang Yuan had not seen it himself, he would not believe it if anyone told him!</p>
<p>Since they paid such a huge price, Shadow Sect was not going to give up.</p>
<p>The zither music suddenly became louder, it was heard by everyone.</p>
<p>The immortals’ expressions changed, they felt the world spinning, some of them fell down.</p>
<p>The zither mind grand tribulation had started!</p>
<p>In the sky, starlight gushed down like a huge blue tsunami, it extended over an endless distance, crashing down.</p>
<p>Star flow grand tribulation!</p>
<p>Shadow Sect’s immortals had firm expressions that were prepared for death, they encouraged each other as they charged forward. Only Ying Wu Xie was left, dealing with Heaven Overseeing Tower.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s side was on the ground, they had pale expressions, desperately resisting the power of the zither mind grand tribulation.</p>
<p>Heaven Overseeing Tower was a rank nine Immortal Gu House after all, it was still floating in the sky.</p>
<p>“Without an Immortal Gu House, how can we survive two grand tribulations? Hehehe, dying from the might of heaven and earth, it has to be more glorious than dying from old age in bed.” Fairy Li Shan had a dazed expression, she looked at the sky, blood flowed out of her seven orifices.</p>
<p>She had already given up on resisting the zither mind tribulation.</p>
<p>The others were still desperately holding on.</p>
<p>At this moment, an incredibly powerful aura with supreme strength burst out of the ruins of Yi Tian Mountain!</p>
<p>An immortal aperture’s entrance opened.</p>
<p>This was Shadow Sect’s blessed land.</p>
<p>Earlier, the Shadow Sect headquarters that Bai Ning Bing could not find had already been placed here long ago!</p>
<p>Feeling this aura, all of the Gu Immortals’ hearts shook.</p>
<p>Even the rank eight Heavenly Court Gu Immortals had pale expressions, their eyes were full of fear.</p>
<p>Shadow Sect’s immortals had overjoyed expressions.</p>
<p>“Our main body… has appeared!”</p>
<p>Boom!</p>
<p>A huge and monstrous ghostly hand moved out of the immortal aperture’s entrance.</p>
<p>The rank nine aura grew immensely!</p>
<p>A formless shock wave swept across the battlefield.</p>
<p>Rocks broke and rumbled, dust and smoke rose.</p>
<p>“This is? This is!” Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng were tongue-tied.</p>
<p>“Spectral Soul Demon Venerable!” Inside Heaven Overseeing Tower, Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord had finally woken up, he felt immense pressure in his mind as he exposed the identity of the ghostly hand.</p>

<h1>Chapter 101</h1>
<p>With his abilities, Gu Yue Dong Tu could easily find Fang Yuan’s residence.</p>
<p>He was wearing the Gu Master’s uniform which he rarely wore; he had leg wrappings around his legs and was wearing a red belt around his waist. Everything was neat and clean, and gave off a faint feeling of majesty.</p>
<p>He looked at Fang Yuan who was slowly coming over and his line of sight fell on the latter’s belt; deep emotions emerged in his heart.</p>
<p>“Only C grade aptitude but he has already broken to Rank two at sixteen, it is truly surprising. I really don’t know how he succeeded. However…this quick speed should be mostly attributed to the Liquor worm. Pity that Liquor worm has no use at Rank two.”</p>
<p>Following that, he saw the faint smile hanging on Fang Yuan’s mouth.</p>
<p>This smile made Gu Yue Dong Tu’s heart chill.</p>
<p>Anger rushed through his mind, “This kid acts so calm, does he think he has me trapped within his palm?!”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan slowly walked over and stopped in front of Gu Yue Dong Tu, he knew the latter was definitely here for him.</p>
<p>Sure enough, Gu Yue Dong Tu opened his mouth, “Fang Yuan, I think we can have a talk.”</p>
<p>“What do you want to talk about?” Fang Yuan slightly frowned.</p>
<p>Gu Yue Dong Tu laughed but then talked of another thing, “Do you know, I was the same as you, I became a Gu Master when I was fifteen.”</p>
<p>“It was right at the time of wolf tide, there was a large number of casualties and we – students – also had no choice but to fight. I had B grade aptitude; I reached Rank two initial stage at sixteen, upper stage at seventeen and peak stage at eighteen. When I was nineteen, I was already beginning my charge to Rank three. At that time, I believed I could be a Rank three Gu Master at twenty.”</p>
<p>“Hahaha, I was too frivolous, I thought I was above everyone else and thought I could accomplish anything. I even thought I was omnipotent, I simply didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth. It was when I was twenty. I went out to do a mission and was beaten by a Xiong village’s Gu Master. I was on the brink of death but fortunately, medicine hall’s elder personally moved and saved me. But after that event, my aptitude dropped down to C grade, I couldn’t recover from this shock for a whole of eight years.”</p>
<p>“At my twenty-ninth birthday, I started to have another look at myself and this world. I discovered that a single person’s strength was limited. So what if I had broken through to Rank three? Living in this society, the most important thing is not individual strength, but the connections with others.”</p>
<p>“I began my life anew when I was thirty. I stepped down from the frontlines when I was forty-five. A hundred Gu Masters jointly petitioned to elect me as an elder dozens of times. Even though I only had the cultivation of Rank two peak stage, I couldn’t take that final step but there was also no need. I had already achieved success. Clan members call me as the ‘hidden elder’. Most of my peers have already passed away but my life sailed smoothly. I still have influence on many Gu Masters.”</p>
<p>After giving a lengthy report, Gu Yue Dong Tu returned to the main topic. He looked at Fang Yuan, his mouth curved up, “Fang Yuan, you are too young and inexperienced, just like I was back then. Believing you can accomplish anything and finish everything by yourself. Hehe.”</p>
<p>Gu Yue Dong Tu shook his head and continued, “But when you gain more experience, you will understand that human is a social animal and not a lone beast. Sometimes we need to lower our heads and take a step back. Being an extremist and arrogant person will only bring isolation and destruction. I believe you have already felt it; no group will take you and everyone is leaving you out. Even if you receive the family inheritance mission, what would that do? As a person who has been left out by everyone, you definitely won’t have the chance to finish the task. Give up.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan indifferently looked at the middle-aged man; his expression, calm.</p>
<p>“I wonder what expression he will show if he knew I have five hundred years of experience?”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s eyes couldn’t help but reveal a trace a of smile when he thought this.</p>
<p>Actually, his uncle’s way of thoughts had been his life’s concept for a long period of time in his previous life.</p>
<p>Thus, he had created the Bloodwing Demon Sect, relying on the system and human emotions to create an enormous influence. Ten thousands would come forth with his one call, seizing resources and fighting enemies.</p>
<p>However, when he broke through to Rank six, he saw a completely new scene.</p>
<p>Gu Masters up to Rank five were mortals but Rank six were immortals. When he stood at that height and looked at the world, he suddenly comprehended — an enormous influence was indeed a powerful help but at the same time was an enormous burden.</p>
<p>No matter which world, there was only one thing which one could truly rely on; that was oneself.</p>
<p>Only that such people were usually weak. People couldn’t endure loneliness and liked chasing after family love, friendship and romance to fill in their spirit. They indulged in being in a group and were afraid of being alone.</p>
<p>When they received setbacks, they would hide in the group, complain to relatives and share with friends. They didn’t dare to confront their fears and defeats by themselves. When there was pain, they would be busy sharing it; when there was something good, they would be anxious to boast of it.</p>
<p>Gu Yue Dong Tu succeeded? No doubt he succeeded.</p>
<p>He couldn’t walk his original path, so he went in another path and left for a new scene.</p>
<p>But at the same time, he was also a failure.</p>
<p>He had lowered his head because of one setback; he was no more than a coward, but he was content with his running away.</p>
<p>Gu Yue Dong Tu didn’t know Fang Yuan had already labelled him as a coward. He saw Fang Yuan made no reply, so he thought the latter was absorbed in his speech.</p>
<p>He continued, “Fang Yuan, I won’t beat around the bush, you are not Fang Zheng. If you give up your idea of inheriting the family assets, you will receive my friendship and you can use all my connections. I will also give you a thousand primeval stones. I know you are hard pressed for money these days and you are even late in paying the rent by two days, right?”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan indifferently smiled and spoke, “Uncle, you don’t wear these clothes often, right?”</p>
<p>Gu Yue Dong Tu was taken aback, he hadn’t expected Fang Yuan would suddenly talk about this.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was indeed correct, he had already been retired for a long time now, this uniform was usually stored deep in a box. He had worn this uniform especially to meet Fang Yuan today; it was to increase his persuasion and deterrence power.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan sighed, he sized up Gu Yue Dong Tu’s clothes and continued, ” A Gu Master’s uniform isn’t so clean and neat. It would be covered with sweat, mud and blood; it would be in shreds and patches; that is the smell of a Gu Master.”</p>
<p>“You are old. Uncle. Your great ambitions and aspirations have already disappeared from your youth. These years, you have lived an easy life and it has corrupted your heart. You are vying for the family assets, not for cultivation but to maintain your rich life. With such a mentality, how could you obstruct me?”</p>
<p>Gu Yue Dong Tu’s face instantly turned ashen, anger surging through his mind.</p>
<p>There was always a group of ‘old’ people in this world. They touted their social experience everywhere. They considered others’ dreams as illusions; considered others’ passions as frivolous; considered others’ persistence as arrogance. They would seek their own existence and superiority by lecturing the later generations.</p>
<p>No doubt, Gu Yue Dong Tu was such a person.</p>
<p>He wanted to educate Fang Yuan but he had never thought that Fang Yuan not only didn’t listen to him or yield to him, but would instead lecture him!</p>
<p>“Fang Yuan!” Gu Yue Dong Tu shouted, “I wanted to guide and persuade you with good intentions as your elder but you don’t know what’s good from bad. Hmph, since you want to go against me, then so be it. I am not afraid to tell you that I already know the contents of your family inheritance mission. Young people don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth. Haha, I really want to see how you will complete this mission!”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had a ridiculing smile on his face, there was no need to conceal now. Anyway, they could no longer reconcile, so there was no harm in enjoying Gu Yue Dong Tu’s upcoming wonderful expression.</p>
<p>Thereupon, he took out the bullskin water bag and opened it; a fragrance that was specific to honey wine floated out.</p>
<p>“What do you think is in here?” He asked.</p>
<p>Gu Yue Dong Tu turned pale with fright, his mood immediately sank to an all-time low.</p>
<p>“How can this be? Where did you get this honey wine?!” He roared, a stunned expression appeared on his face.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan ignored him, closed the cap, put the water bag back and walked towards the internal affairs hall.</p>
<p>Gu Yue Dong Tu’s forehead was covered with cold sweat, many thoughts surging in his mind.</p>
<p>“Where did he get the honey wine? I already made sure that as long as he looks for other groups, I would get the news the very first moment. Could he have done this alone? No, that’s not possible, he doesn’t have a defense Gu worm. Someone definitely helped him. No! The point now is not finding the reason. This kid already has the honey wine, he is going to hand over the mission!”</p>
<p>Gu Yue Dong Tu was already panicking as he thought this and no longer had the calm appearance from moments ago.</p>
<p>He quickly chased after Fang Yuan, “Fang Yuan, wait, everything can be discussed.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan didn’t speak and continued to walk, Gu Yue Dong Tu could only follow beside him.</p>
<p>“If one thousand primeval stones won’t do, then how about two thousand, no, two thousand five hundred.” Gu Yue Dong Tu kept on increasing the offer.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan turned a deaf ear to Gu Yue Dong Tu, instead increasingly having some expectations towards the family assets. On seeing how Gu Yue Dong Tu was so anxious and was continuously raising the offer, the real family assets should definitely be very good.</p>
<p>Gu Yue Dong Tu was perspiring, he saw Fang Yuan was not moved, his face revealed a fierce look and he threatened, “Fang Yuan, think this through clearly! What end will you have if you offend me, hmph, don’t blame uncle for being cold-hearted if you miss an arm or leg in the future.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan laughed.</p>
<p>This Gu Yue Dong Tu was really a lamentable person. He was bound by rules and regulations; the water bag was clearly within his reach, but he didn’t dare to snatch it. If he didn’t even have this much guts, how could he succeed in fighting for the benefits?</p>
<p>Riches and danger went together. No matter which world, if you want to obtain something, you need to pay its price.</p>
<p>“Fang Yuan, you think everything will be well after you get the family assets! You are too young, you don’t have a clue about society and its dangers!” Gu Yue Dong Tu snarled by Fang Yuan’s ear.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan shook his head and ignored him, walking into the internal affairs hall in front of his glaring eyes.</p>
<p>Actually, he didn’t hate or even loathe this uncle of his.</p>
<p>He had seen a lot of such people and understood this type of people.</p>
<p>If Fang Yuan had enough primeval stones to support his cultivation, he wouldn’t even fight for the family assets. But what good will giving such insignificant benefits to uncle do?</p>
<p>For what reason was he reborn?</p>
<p>It was not for this momentary period, but to step to the highest peak. This type of passerby, as long as they didn’t interfere with this and only raged from the side, Fang Yuan would disdain to even step on them.</p>
<p>But unfortunately, this Gu Yue Dong Tu obstructed Fang Yuan’s path.</p>
<p>Since it was so, then he will stamp on this obstacle and move forward.</p>
<p>“Fang Yuan! Fang Yuan…” Uncle Gu Yue Dong Tu watched on as Fang Yuan stepped into the internal affairs hall; his whole body shook and veins bulged up on his forehead.</p>
<p>The light of the setting sun shone on his hair which was already turning white.</p>
<p>He was indeed old.</p>
<p>When he sustained that injury at the age of twenty, he had already aged.</p>

<h1>Chapter 1010</h1>
<p>This ghostly hand that stretched out from life and death blessed land was extremely huge, like a hill.</p>
<p>Its arm was not fully stretched out, more than half of it was still inside the door.</p>
<p>Life and death blessed land’s entrance was seemingly already opened to the maximum, but only a small part of the ghostly hand could come out, as if it was stuck.</p>
<p>Rank nine aura, majestic and vast, spread out and engulfed in all directions.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s side hurriedly retreated.</p>
<p>Under the suppression of the rank nine aura, they felt suffocation and had a fearful sensation that they were going to die from it!</p>
<p>Looking at this huge hand again, it was dark like the depths of an abyss, terrifyingly sinister, and seemingly undulating with a dark blue light.</p>
<p>“What soul beast is this? It actually has such a terrifying aura! Not even immemorial soul beasts can match its aura! Could it be that the world has rank nine soul beasts?” Hei Lou Lan blurted out in shock.</p>
<p>She still did not know the true identity of this ghostly hand.</p>
<p>“Impossible!” Fairy Li Shan’s expression was pale as paper as she retreated, speaking in a trembling tone, “Among all the living beings in the world, only humans can reach rank nine, thus man is the spirit of all living beings.”</p>
<p>Once the soul left the physical body, it should be in a weak state, moreover the soul was incorporeal and could pass through bricks and tiles.</p>
<p>But this right hand of Spectral Soul Demon Venerable was solid like it was material, stable like a hill.</p>
<p>After stretching out of life and death blessed land, it grabbed at the ruins of Yi Tian Mountain. Large numbers of boulders turned into powder under the hand.</p>
<p>This was simply beyond the common sense of the cultivation world.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul Demon Venerable’s main cultivation path was soul path, his soul path foundation was so deep that it had reached the limits of a material state! It far surpassed the immortals’ imaginations!</p>
<p>“Spectral Soul… Demon Venerable…” Looking at the huge hand that engulfed his vision, Fang Yuan felt his mouth drying up.</p>
<p>He knew the origin of this huge hand.</p>
<p>It was because not long ago, when he had been struck with the immortal killer move lead soul into dream, and had entered the dream realm again, he had heard the melodious song of Star Constellation Immortal Venerable.</p>
<p>“Fallen songs and despondent heroes, difficulty in resisting the trials of fate.”</p>
<p>“Bent swords sink in the sand, rising and falling from ancient times, the rumbling of an unceasing heavenly river.”</p>
<p>“Alas…”</p>
<p>“Spectral night carries a soul into endless dreams, where can one rest in peace?”</p>
<p>“During spring and autumn body and mind shifts, only heaven’s will remains vast and boundless.”</p>
<p>Following this song, information flowed into Fang Yuan’s mind out of nowhere.</p>
<p>“Spectral night carries a soul into endless dreams, where can one rest in peace?” This showed the ghostly hand’s true identity, informing Fang Yuan that the mastermind of Shadow Sect behind the scenes was Spectral Soul Demon Venerable!</p>
<p>When Fang Yuan had known this, he had been extremely shocked.</p>
<p>With such mental preparation, now that he looked at the giant ghostly hand, Fang Yuan was able to forcibly calm down, instead feeling some relief.</p>
<p>Everyone dies.</p>
<p>This was the rule of the world, and everyone knew of it, even rank nine venerables could not escape this fate.</p>
<p>Then where did the soul of these rank nine venerables go to after death?</p>
<p>This was clearly explained in &lt;&lt;The Legends of Ren Zu&gt;&gt;.</p>
<p>Road of life, road of death and Obsession Death Domain which held fairness Immortal Gu. In the legends, after Verdant Great Sun died, his soul returned to the door of life and death, rank nine venerables along with all the living beings in the world had such an outcome in the end.</p>
<p>&lt;&lt;The Legends of Ren Zu&gt;&gt; clearly recorded: The road of life was filled with suffering Gu while the road of death had three obstacles: Dang Hun Mountain, Luo Po Valley and Reverse Flow River.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan did not know about Reverse Flow River’s location, but he knew Dang Hun Mountain and Luo Po valley were in his hands!</p>
<p>Fang Yuan even made a bold guess: The third obstacle, Reverse Flow River, was also probably no longer on the road of death.</p>
<p>Without the obstruction of these three obstacles, couldn’t souls after people die easily return to the world of the living?</p>
<p>This meant Spectral Soul Demon Venerable’s soul returning to the world of the living was not an unexplainable matter.</p>
<p>Regardless of what happened in the depths of the door of life and death, and what the truth was, right now, at this moment, Spectral Soul Demon Venerable’s soul had charged out of the door of life and death and appeared once again amidst the living.</p>
<p>“So all these were really Spectral Soul Demon Venerable’s arrangements. No wonder Shadow Sect is so mysterious and so powerful! No wonder Shadow Sect’s Gu Immortals did not fear death. Have they already grasped a method of reviving the soul? But what in the world does Spectral Soul Demon Venerable want? Shadow Sect did everything possible to protect the ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation, not even stinting on making any sacrifices, what are they trying to refine?”</p>
<p>The doubts in Fang Yuan’s mind intensified, like the dense dark clouds above him.</p>
<p>“Spectral Soul Demon Venerable… you finally could not bear it anymore.” Inside Heaven Overseeing Tower, Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord heaved a deep sigh.</p>
<p>With the help of Heaven Overseeing Tower, he had already deduced Spectral Soul Demon Venerable’s identity back at Heavenly Court.</p>
<p>That pair of eyes that gazed at all things from the darkness, filled with killing intent, were the eyes of Spectral Soul Demon Venerable!</p>
<p>Knowing Spectral Soul Demon Venerable was attempting to defy heaven to resurrect and escape fate, Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord had paled with shock and alarm, hurriedly awakening Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals to immediately take action and destroy Spectral Soul Demon Venerable’s plan, making him fall back to Obsession Death Domain, maintaining heaven’s will and fate.</p>
<p>It was because the two roads to Obsession Death Domain had been traveled by fate Immortal Gu personally.</p>
<p>All things go through life and death, it is the world’s greatest fairness.</p>
<p>Once Spectral Soul Demon Venerable resurrected, it would no doubt be unfair, the greatest violation of fate and heaven’s will.</p>
<p>Fate Immortal Gu would probably be unable to recover further because of this.</p>
<p>They had to take this chance while Spectral Soul Demon Venerable had not resurrected, and pass judgment. If they allowed this Demon Venerable with the strongest killing intent in history to resurrect, the world would become filled with massacre and chaos, Heavenly Court’s side could forget about restoring their former glory, they might even be unable to protect themselves.</p>
<p>That was the reason that in this battle at Yi Tian Mountain, Heavenly Court did not care about the price to activate the rank nine Immortal Gu House Heaven Overseeing Tower, bringing Heavenly Court’s main forces with them.</p>
<p>“Spectral Soul… rank nine Demon Venerable…”</p>
<p>“What’s there to fear? He is already dead, his soul has been hiding in the door of life and death, lingering on his last breaths, he is already no longer the rank nine Demon Venerable.”</p>
<p>“Right. Everyone is aware of a soul’s weakness. If he truly had his former strength, why would he need to establish Shadow Sect and create so many split souls? Why would he need to form these schemes?”</p>
<p>“In my opinion, he can at most only be considered Spectral Soul, and not Spectral Soul Demon Venerable!”</p>
<p>Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals talked and roused each other’s morale, expelling the fear in their hearts.</p>
<p>Facing a rank nine existence, even these rank eights of Heavenly Court could not help being anxious and fearful.</p>
<p>“The ten extreme formation is Spectral Soul’s weakness. We need to first stop this huge hand, then we can gather our strength to break this formation!” Bi Chen Tian shouted.</p>
<p>“That makes sense!” Heavenly Court’s immortals nodded, a portion of them then flew out of Heaven Overseeing Tower.</p>
<p>Heaven Overseeing Tower started activating, releasing sparkling white light.</p>
<p>Immortal killer move — Lead Soul Into Dream!</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie once again activated his only ability.</p>
<p>One skill to dominate the world!</p>
<p>“Damn it!” Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord stomped his foot in anger but could only fall into the dream realm once again, unable to extricate himself.</p>
<p>Shadow Sect had gone through untold hardships to create Ying Wu Xie, and their efforts were showing outstanding effects at this moment. Even the rank nine Immortal Gu House was being tied down by Ying Wu Xie alone.</p>
<p>Even if there were people who replaced Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord’s position, they also soon fell into dream realms.</p>
<p>As long as Ying Wu Xie targeted Heaven Overseeing Tower, these temporary tower lords would follow suit and be struck by his ability.</p>
<p>“Hmph, you think the grand Heavenly Court only has one Immortal Gu House?”</p>
<p>Right at this time, Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals, who had flown out of Heaven Overseeing Tower earlier, suddenly brought out their second Immortal Gu House.</p>
<p>Rank eight Immortal Gu House — Embroidered Tower!</p>
<p>This small pavilion was adorned with beautiful decorations, its walls were red and its tiles were made of jade, looking exquisite and beautiful, but it lacked part of its foundational support; one could clearly see the traces of destruction on the Immortal Gu House.</p>
<p>Although this was a rank eight Immortal Gu House, it was only a damaged object and not intact.</p>
<p>“The so-called Heavenly Court only has these antiques left? It is embarrassing for you people to keep what Reckless Savage Demon Venerable broke for so long, and you are still bringing it out now to make a fool of yourselves!” Immortal zombie Bo Qing stood up, raising his right hand in the shape of a fist above his head.</p>
<p>The next moment, the peerless sword path killer move, five finger fist heart sword, erupted with full power.</p>
<p>Embroidered Tower shook for a while from this attack, before shooting out seven embroidery needles condensed from faint light.</p>
<p>These seven embroidery needles flew gracefully like birds, and struck the huge ghostly hand in a blink of an eye. Immediately, the embroidery needles pierced through the ghostly hand and the ground countless times.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul’s ghostly hand tried to rise, but could not even budge.</p>
<p>The seven embroidery needles seemed to be using invisible thread that tightly sewed this ghostly hand to the ground.</p>
<p>“This Embroidered Tower Immortal Gu House might be only rank eight, but after Primordial Origin Immortal Venerable’s disciple, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable, was betrothed, he prepared it as a dowry. In the past, when Reckless Savage Demon Venerable had rampaged into Heavenly Court, and was struck by this move, he also had to discard the three bloody skins to free himself!” Inside the Embroidered Tower, the leading Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortal sneered.</p>
<p>According to logic, during the time when the ghostly hand was sewn to the ground, the ghostly hand could have already flown away from the ground.</p>
<p>But this ability of Embroidered Tower was this Immortal Gu House’s strongest attack.</p>
<p>The sewing threads it used were actual dao marks.</p>
<p>It used dao marks as threads to sew the ghostly hand to the ground. If Spectral Soul wanted to raise his hand, he would need to have the power to lift the ground of the whole of Southern Border!</p>
<p>Maybe Reckless Savage Demon Venerable had such power.</p>
<p>But this remaining soul could not reach such a standard.</p>
<p>Heavenly Court’s foundation was truly unfathomable.</p>
<p>Even when facing Spectral Soul, they had corresponding methods.</p>
<p>Seeing Spectral Soul’s huge hand tightly sewn to the ground, Hei Lou Lan, Tai Bai Yun Sheng and the rest stared, dumbfounded.</p>
<p>While Shadow Sect’s group revealed worried expressions.</p>
<p>However, the next moment, the solid and malevolent dark ghostly hand suddenly turned soft, until it turned into a pool of black water.</p>
<p>Whoosh…!</p>
<p>A sea of black water surged out of the door of life and death. In an instant, the surrounding mountain ranges were submerged by it, this water that was from a soul covered all of the surroundings, it was tyrannical and domineering.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan and the rest quickly flew into the sky.</p>
<p>The next moment, the sea of black water soared to the sky, turning into a monster thousands of meters tall!</p>
<p>“Spectral Soul!” Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals were terrified, a giant ghostly hand swept across the air at such a quick speed that it could not be dodged, smashing Embroidered Tower immediately.</p>
<p>Another hand grabbed the large Heaven Overseeing Tower. The ghostly hand increased its strength, cracks started appearing on Heaven Overseeing Tower, and at this rate, the whole of Heaven Overseeing Tower looked like it would be crushed!</p>
<p>The two grand tribulations, zither mind tribulation and star flow tribulation, came smashing down.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul roared towards the sky, suppressing the zither sound.</p>
<p>He raised two of his other hands and ferociously tore at a space.</p>
<p>The space where he tore broke, the huge starlight tsunami rushed into the void.</p>
<p>The two grand tribulations were so easily resolved by Spectral Soul!</p>
<p>Fang Yuan and the rest, witnessing such a scene, were wide-eyed and tongue-tied.</p>

<h1>Chapter 1011</h1>
<p>The immortals present could not believe their own eyes!</p>
<p>Zither mind tribulation, star flow tribulation, these two grand tribulations were easily stopped by Spectral Soul, it was as easy as drinking water.</p>
<p>“This, this is the might of a rank nine demon venerable?” Fang Yuan’s heart shook.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul was already dead, what was present now was merely his soul.</p>
<p>This gigantic soul was already beyond normal form.</p>
<p>He was thousands of meters tall, like an imposing giant! The dark clouds that the ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation created merely reached the height of his waist.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan and the others were in the air, resembling flies. Looking at Spectral Soul’s leg, it resembled a giant mountain peak.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul’s chest had reached the clouds, he was as tall as the sky!</p>
<p>He had three heads.</p>
<p>The front head had dragon horns, a lion’s mane, snake eyes, and elephant tusks.</p>
<p>The left head had a peach-colored forehead, hair like grass, and three flower-like eyes.</p>
<p>The right head had a fringe of clouds, eyes resembling lightning, ears like fire, and a golden mouth.</p>
<p>He had a thousand arms, five hundred on each side. They were dark like ink, his muscles were bulging with firm lines, oozing with demonic aura.</p>
<p>He also had a thousand ghostly hands, earlier, Heavenly Court had spent huge effort to use Embroidered Tower to immobilize a ghostly hand to the ground, but that was merely one out of a thousand!</p>
<p>“Ah! This appearance, this appearance! Don’t tell me? Impossible! Impossible!” Fairy Li Shan had recognized Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, she screamed in disbelief. Her arms were covering her head, she shook her head as she retreated, she lost all the grace that a rank seven Gu Immortal had.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul Demon Venerable’s appearance was not a secret, it was widely spread in the Gu Immortal world, even in the mortal world it was well known.</p>
<p>Especially in Southern Border, many villages and countless mortals had a culture of revering Spectral Soul Demon Venerable. The people used clay to create a statue of Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, and would pray to it during festivals and offerings.</p>
<p>Hei Lou Lan’s pupils shrunk to pin size, she was so shocked she could not speak, her entire body was shivering.</p>
<p>Gulp, Tai Bai Yun Sheng swallowed his saliva, his body was covered in cold sweat.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan showed a moved expression full of anticipation.</p>
<p>His shock from earlier had vanished.</p>
<p>“This… is the limit of soul path? The soul turns from phantom to solid, it can interfere with the material world, it is as condensed as a physical body, and is unbelievably powerful! Such a soul foundation definitely surpasses a hundred million man soul. My soul compared to it, is like an ant versus the moon…”</p>
<p>“But even the powerful Spectral Soul Demon Venerable died in the end, his soul returning to the door of life and death. Now that he has broken out, defying heaven and fate, what is he trying to do?”</p>
<p>“When can I reach such a level as well? But even at this level, he cannot avoid death. I pursue eternal life… does it truly exist?”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s eyes shined with bright light, at this moment, he felt greatly excited.</p>
<p>Even as an immortal zombie, he could feel a sensation of hot-bloodedness!</p>
<p>One could learn from examples set by capable people.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul Demon Venerable was a predecessor who was undeniably a forerunner of Gu cultivation.</p>
<p>Even Fang Yuan, who had five hundred years of experience, was small like a fly when he was facing Spectral Soul Demon Venerable!</p>
<p>But Fang Yuan’s fear had gone away entirely.</p>
<p>He felt deep excitement, it was feverish!</p>
<p>Like a person who aspires to climb the highest mountain seeing an immeasurably tall peak, even if that was not the goal, he still feel deeply motivated and wanted to climb up, to surpass it!</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had long since forgotten about death.</p>
<p>If he died on the path of ascension, even if his corpse was desecrated and his soul was utterly destroyed, so what?</p>
<p>This was the goal that he pursued!</p>
<p>Bam!!</p>
<p>At this moment, Heaven Overseeing Tower burst out with a grand light, it shattered Spectral Soul’s ghostly hand and regained freedom.</p>
<p>It was a rank nine Immortal Gu House after all.</p>
<p>Inside the tower, the atmosphere was extremely heavy.</p>
<p>Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals bit their lips, seeing this overwhelming giant, they felt great pressure in their hearts.</p>
<p>“As expected of Spectral Soul, such vast demonic might, it is simply terrifying!” Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord laughed loudly, the aura in his body rose as his silvery hair swayed, his sleeves were fluttering like a war banner.</p>
<p>His fighting spirit soon spread to the other Heavenly Court Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>The immortals’ eyes burned with passion.</p>
<p>“Heaven’s will cannot be defied!”</p>
<p>“Heaven cannot be defied!”</p>
<p>“Even if you are Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, who had once slaughtered the world and caused endless bloodshed.”</p>
<p>“Your era is over!”</p>
<p>“Even if we die today, we will protect the Great Dao of heaven!!”</p>
<p>“Come, activate Heaven Overseeing Tower.”</p>
<p>The immortals had firm determination, Heaven Overseeing Tower shined with an unprecedented dazzling light.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul’s left head looked at it as it growled, several hands were moving around.</p>
<p>The entirety of Spectral Soul moved with a speed disproportionate to its size. In an instant, several hands grabbed Heaven Overseeing Tower tightly.</p>
<p>More and more ghostly hands emerged, overlapping over one another, surrounding Heaven Overseeing Tower in the center.</p>
<p>Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals were unrelenting, Heaven Overseeing Tower’s light shone through the crevices of the ghostly hands’ fingers, shooting out light that resembled sharp blades.</p>
<p>More than ten ghostly hands had layered together, but they shook vaguely.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul, after getting to this point, actually ignored Heaven Overseeing Tower, the three heads looked towards the sky, having grim expressions.</p>
<p>Even though he was several thousand meters tall, the sky was taller, it was still above his head.</p>
<p>As if angered by Spectral Soul’s arrogance, the deepest part of the sky was conjuring the strongest thunderstorm it could muster.</p>
<p>An apocalyptic feeling engulfed the immortals.</p>
<p>“This… is no longer a grand tribulation.”</p>
<p>“This is a myriad tribulation! Apocalyptic myriad tribulation!”</p>
<p>Shadow Sect’s Gu Immortals were lost for words.</p>
<p>Beyond grand tribulations, there were myriad tribulations.</p>
<p>Myriad tribulations were terrifying, if a rank eight Gu Immortal passed all three, they would become a rank nine venerable!</p>
<p>Heaven was enraged, it knew that grand tribulations were useless against Spectral Soul, thus, it conjured a myriad tribulation.</p>
<p>Myriad tribulation — Wind Lightning Prison!</p>
<p>Fast! Fast! Fast!</p>
<p>The myriad tribulation descended faster than any Gu Immortal’s expectations.</p>
<p>Countless lightning bolts descended from the sky, countless tornadoes coiled around Spectral Soul’s body like pythons and dragons.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul’s three heads roared at the sky angrily. His six eyes shot out blood-red light that was oozing with killing intent, it had an intimidating aura.</p>
<p>A thousand arms moved together, ghostly hands tore the tornadoes apart while his hill-like fists punched against the lightning bolts in the sky.</p>
<p>Hei Lou Lan and the others could not speak anymore.</p>
<p>The scene in front of them was like the reenactment of a legendary tale.</p>
<p>The myriad tribulation was targeting Spectral Soul and the ten extreme formation. Fang Yuan and the others were inside the formation, they were rather safe.</p>
<p>“This myriad tribulation’s power is much higher than ordinary ones!”</p>
<p>“Our main body can endure it.”</p>
<p>“The ten extreme formation?”</p>
<p>“It has been refined by sixty percent already.”</p>
<p>“Only sixty percent… the following tribulations will become more terrifying.”</p>
<p>Saying this, Shadow Sect’s Gu Immortals became silent.</p>
<p>Their real archenemy was not Heavenly Court or Fang Yuan, it was heaven!</p>
<p>If they were in their complete state, Shadow Sect’s group was confident. But because of Heavenly Court and Fang Yuan, they were in an incomplete state, in fact, the ten extreme formation had almost been about to break earlier, they only salvaged it by sacrificing Zombie Alliance.</p>
<p>“Sacred Feather City is lost, and our main body has appeared, we serve little purpose now.”</p>
<p>“That’s right, we should sacrifice ourselves to the ten extreme formation and save some time, that is the best way.”</p>
<p>“Then, what about those people?”</p>
<p>“Leave them to us.” Ying Wu Xie spoke this as he looked at Bo Qing.</p>
<p>The later tribulations would be more powerful. Shadow Sect’s Gu Immortals had little use in resisting the tribulations. They might as well use themselves to accelerate the refinement of the formation.</p>
<p>The true identity of these Shadow Sect Gu Immortals was that they were Spectral Soul Demon Venerable’s split souls.</p>
<p>Precisely because of this, Shadow Sect could remain mysterious and hide in the background, developing for so many years without exposing themselves.</p>
<p>This was also why Shadow Sect’s Gu Immortals disregarded death, they were united and did not care about sacrifice.</p>
<p>This huge force was simply a one man show by Spectral Soul Demon Venerable!</p>
<p>After discussion, Shadow Sect’s Gu Immortals, including Seven Star Child and Song Zi Xing, made the same choice as Old Man Yan Shi, they entered the formation and sacrificed themselves.</p>
<p>Only two people were left.</p>
<p>One was Ying Wu Xie, he had the Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique, his cultivation level also rose as time passed. At the last moments of his life, he would fully become rank nine, he was the final trump card of Spectral Soul.</p>
<p>The other was immortal zombie Bo Qing, he had also been one of Spectral Soul Demon Venerable’s split souls, but right now, he was only Bo Qing’s immortal zombie body, the remnant soul inside was not Bo Qing but Mo Yao.</p>
<p>Mo Yao’s remnant soul would not help in the formation even if she went in, she could only be refined as immortal material. This was not worth it, thus she stayed behind.</p>
<p>Currently, Spectral Soul was controlling the situation, resisting the myriad tribulation while suppressing Heaven Overseeing Tower.</p>
<p>Immortal zombie Bo Qing and Ying Wu Xie had no more worries, they charged towards Fang Yuan and the others.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan and the others were not their match, they quickly retreated.</p>
<p>But being encircled by the formation, and with space path methods sealed, where could they run to?</p>
<p>Bo Qing waved his hand and sword light flew out, chopping off Fairy Li Shan’s head as blood spewed out of her neck.</p>
<p>The Sword Immortal’s strength could not be resisted.</p>
<p>Man as Before!</p>
<p>At the crucial moment, Tai Bai Yun Sheng activated man as before Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>Fairy Li Shan returned to her former state, touching her neck, her eyes were filled with fear.</p>
<p>Immortal zombie Bo Qing’s arms were behind his back, he laughed arrogantly: “Merely a rank six time path Immortal Gu, how can it stop me?”</p>
<p>As he said this, Fairy Li Shan’s eyes widened as sword qi burst out of her body, turning her into a pile of mushy flesh.</p>
<p>“Little aunt!” Hei Lou Lan cried out in pain, her eyes were bright red as she charged towards Bo Qing.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie blocked Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>He stared at Fang Yuan intently: “Fang Yuan, you were actually able to leave my dream realm, very interesting. Then, with my rank eight cultivation level, I want to see if you can escape from it again!”</p>
<p>“You know my name?” Fang Yuan growled, feeling something amiss.</p>
<p>“Hehehe, you are an otherworldly demon, you are still useful to Shadow Sect, I will spare your life. Don’t think of using Spring Autumn Cicada, this rank six Immortal Gu has already been deduced by Old Man Yan Shi. In its current state, it cannot be used, isn’t that right?” Ying Wu Xie was confident of victory, he approached with a smile.</p>
<p>“What?!” Fang Yuan’s entire body shook.</p>

<h1>Chapter 1012</h1>
<p>A hundred thousand years ago.</p>
<p>Southern Border, Xuan Ci Mountain.</p>
<p>It was night time, darkness was everywhere. Wind and thunder rumbled, lightning flashed across the battlefield at times.</p>
<p>Partway up Xuan Ci Mountain, more than ten Gu Masters’ corpses were on the ground.</p>
<p>It rained heavily, but it could not wash away the thick and bloody smell of the place.</p>
<p>A battle had just ended, there were only two people left on the battlefield, the victor was evident.</p>
<p>“Hahaha!” A young man laughed while looking at the sky, his eyes were blood-red, his expression was filled with bloodthirst. He slowly walked towards the other Gu Master.</p>
<p>The other Gu Master was an old man, he was heavily injured and could not battle anymore. He retreated in a hurry, but he tripped and fell into the mud.</p>
<p>The young Gu Master slowly walked in the rain, standing in front of the old Gu Master, looking down imposingly, his gaze was cold and icy, there was not a hint of warmth.</p>
<p>But the old Gu Master’s gaze did not carry fear, instead, it was filled with disbelief and fury!</p>
<p>The elderly man shouted: “Why? Why! I am your grandfather, I brought you up, I taught you everything you know. Your accomplishments today are all because of the clan’s nurturing! Why did you attack the clan’s higher ups, why did you repay our kindness with enmity? Why? Why!”</p>
<p>Facing the elderly man’s questioning, the young Gu Master lowered his gaze, smiling lightly: “Why? I did not really consider that. Hmm… if I have to give a reason, maybe it is because I was annoyed.”</p>
<p>“Annoyed?!”</p>
<p>“That’s right… Saying things like, our clan is weaker than the other party, we should endure it and suffer in silence. Saying things like, we should respect the old and love the young, we should be courteous and have integrity, we should not talk back to elders. Saying things like, the clan is relying on me to defend its reputation, I need to think for the clansmen, that is how I can become a brilliant clan leader… it is really annoying! Since I was young, I have felt annoyed, I thought I could endure it, but I kept enduring and finally, I could not anymore.” The young Gu Master said as his mouth opened, revealing his pale white teeth.</p>
<p>“Just because of this?!” The old Gu Master was furious, he sat up in anger.</p>
<p>He stared with wide opened eyes as he scolded: “Why did you become like this? What were you actually thinking about? I must have been blind, I raised you for so many years in vain! Hehe, I actually wanted to hand the village to you?!”</p>
<p>The old Gu Master angrily rebuked until he cried, he sobbed uncontrollably.</p>
<p>“Enough! Enough!” The young Gu Master had a ruthless expression, the old Gu Master’s crying made him extremely annoyed.</p>
<p>He raised his right hand, slashing down.</p>
<p>Whoosh.</p>
<p>With a soft sound, the old Gu Master was cut in two, blood spewed out as his intestines flowed out, he had died without satisfaction.</p>
<p>The young Gu Master became calm, he stopped moving.</p>
<p>He wore a black robe, standing in the rain like a statue.</p>
<p>He lowered his head, looking at the corpse below him, memories of the past appeared in his mind involuntarily.</p>
<p>When he was a child, his grandfather had brought him to ride horses and fly kites. When his superb aptitude was revealed, his grandfather smiled in joy. When he became a Gu Master, his grandfather taught him personally. He taught him to handle the clan affairs, he taught him meticulously…</p>
<p>A long time passed.</p>
<p>The young Gu Master let out a breath, he started to laugh.</p>
<p>“Hehehe… hahaha.”</p>
<p>Soon, his laughter became louder as he raised his head, looking at the sky with his arms wide open.</p>
<p>His tears flowed out, he was filled with sorrow, but on his face, there was an expression of utter satisfaction.</p>
<p>He felt like he was someone who was drowning, suddenly, he had reached the surface of the water and struggled to get to the shore.</p>
<p>He breathed in deeply, he could smell a thick, bloody stench, it assaulted him, seemingly filled with the rage of his clansmen.</p>
<p>But he felt that this air was goddamn fresh!</p>
<p>“Even though I am very sad… is this freedom? Hahaha, if I had known this, I would have killed them long ago. These annoying things should have been killed long beforehand. From now on, I will kill whatever annoys me!”</p>
<p>The young Gu Master screamed in the rain, his excitement was evident on his face.</p>
<p>Crack.</p>
<p>A flash of lightning went by, illuminating the young Gu Master’s expression of joy.</p>
<p>A hundred thousand years later.</p>
<p>Lightning flashed and thunder roared, the young Gu Master’s face was still illuminated by this light.</p>
<p>But now, he was already entirely different, he was a monster that was thousands of meters tall, with three heads and a thousand arms.</p>
<p>“So noisy, non-stop rumbling, enough is enough!” Spectral Soul roared.</p>
<p>Boom!</p>
<p>A thousand arms exerted force, demonic aura surged and filled all the surroundings, they coiled around the tornadoes and tore them to shreds.</p>
<p>The impact of his actions caused the clouds over the whole area to stir.</p>
<p>He suppressed the wind and lightning!</p>
<p>The lightning bolts completely vanished under his wrath.</p>
<p>The clouds dispersed and the sun returned, the myriad tribulation, wind lightning prison, had been resolved by Spectral Soul!</p>
<p>Even a myriad tribulation could not stop him.</p>
<p>The might of a Demon Venerable, it was fully displayed!</p>
<p>All who witnessed this, be it Fang Yuan’s side, or Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals, they were in shock.</p>
<p>“Did we succeed?” Bo Qing and Ying Wu Xie looked back, joy showing on their faces.</p>
<p>But immediately, the sky turned dark again, countless grey clouds gathered above Spectral Soul’s head.</p>
<p>The second myriad tribulation was gathering strength!</p>
<p>Bo Qing and Ying Wu Xie’s expressions turned dark.</p>
<p>Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals heaved a sigh of relief.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul’s six eyes showed a pondering expression.</p>
<p>Suddenly, he raised hundreds of arms, stabbing into the dark clouds at his waist.</p>
<p>The dark clouds were formed by the ten extreme formation, receiving Spectral Soul’s help, the clouds shook intensely.</p>
<p>“Oh no! He is accelerating the formation!”</p>
<p>“Even though I do not know what he is trying to refine, we cannot let him succeed!”</p>
<p>“Everyone, collaborate with me!!”</p>
<p>Under Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord’s lead, Heaven Overseeing Tower turned phantom, it flew out, bypassing the encirclement of the ghostly hands.</p>
<p>At the next moment, Heaven Overseeing Tower turned back into material form, with a loud sound, it propelled forward and crashed into Spectral Soul’s right head fiercely.</p>
<p>At once, Spectral Soul’s head caved in from the impact, his chin was slammed into the position of the cheek bones.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul roared furiously, a hundred hands grabbed at Heaven Overseeing Tower.</p>
<p>“Again!” Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord shouted.</p>
<p>The six Heavenly Court rank eight Gu Immortals around him were in charge of this.</p>
<p>At the critical moment, Heaven Overseeing Tower turned phantom again, causing Spectral Soul’s attack to miss.</p>
<p>This ability to turn phantom was one of Heaven Overseeing Tower’s methods. But it was not easy to activate, a large amount of thoughts and concentration was needed, it was like Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage’s ability to absorb attacks.</p>
<p>Six Heavenly Court Gu Immortals turned the tower phantom twice, they were breathing heavily in exhaustion.</p>
<p>Heaven Overseeing Tower floated above Spectral Soul’s head in phantom form. But at this moment, a hundred of Spectral Soul’s strong dark arms shrunk immensely, turning dry, thin and long.</p>
<p>Obtaining his help, the ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation underwent a huge change, the scattered dark clouds gathered towards the center.</p>
<p>At the center of the dark clouds, a round ball could be vaguely seen, it spun on its own, shining with fourteen different colored lights.</p>
<p>Seeing this, Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord had an anxious expression, he ordered: “Chop off these arms!”</p>
<p>Heaven Overseeing Tower was like a rocket, it drew an eye piercing light rainbow in the sky as it slashed forward. The light rainbow cut all of Spectral Soul’s arms off upon contact.</p>
<p>“Ying Wu Xie, go and deal with Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals!” Immortal zombie Bo Qing called out.</p>
<p>It was a simple matter for them to deal with Fang Yuan’s side.</p>
<p>But because of a series of events, they were constantly interrupted.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie gritted his teeth, he was unwilling to leave at this moment: “Give me a moment to make Fang Yuan sleep first.”</p>
<p>Saying so, he activated the rank eight immortal killer move — Lead Soul Into Dream.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan could not dodge, he was dragged into the dream realm.</p>
<p>At the pavilion in the center of the lake, the music from the zither could be heard.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan met Star Constellation Immortal Venerable again.</p>
<p>Unravel dream.</p>
<p>Unravel dream.</p>
<p>Unravel dream.</p>
<p>Unravel dream.</p>
<p>Unravel dream.</p>
<p>Unravel dream.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan hurriedly activated his dream path killer move, but the dream realm held firm, all he saw were transparent ripples in his vision.</p>
<p>His unravel dream might work against the dream realm, but it was only rank six. In contrast, Ying Wu Xie’s killer move was rank eight.</p>
<p>The difference between the two was too vast, Fang Yuan could not unravel the dream realm.</p>
<p>At once, Fang Yuan’s heart sank to rock bottom.</p>
<p>The zither music continued, as Star Constellation Immortal Venerable smiled at Fang Yuan gently, she sang with a soft voice.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan smiled bitterly, he knew that he had lost!</p>
<p>Phantom form!</p>
<p>Heaven Overseeing Tower dodged Spectral Soul’s attack again.</p>
<p>But Spectral Soul’s ghostly hands did not stop, they drove into the ten extreme formation.</p>
<p>Heaven Overseeing Tower was prepared to attack again, but one of Spectral Soul’s heads opened its eyes and gazed at Heaven Overseeing Tower, immobilizing it.</p>
<p>Heaven Overseeing Tower was unable to change out of its phantom form!</p>
<p>“Hahaha, this time, why don’t you try and escape?!” Ying Wu Xie placed his hands at his waist, laughing smugly.</p>
<p>“Fang Yuan!” Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng shouted.</p>
<p>But Fang Yuan was deep in sleep, he could not be woken up.</p>
<p>Bo Qing was about to kill Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng, when there was suddenly a huge suction force from the ground.</p>
<p>The immortals were caught off guard, they were all sucked into the ground, their legs were deeply buried in the ground, a strong force was restricting them, preventing them from moving.</p>
<p>Grand tribulation — Earth Collapse!</p>
<p>Bo Qing and Ying Wu Xie were shocked, they did not expect that while the myriad tribulation was dealing with Spectral Soul, there was actually a grand tribulation waiting to ambush them.</p>
<p>“Why are they not restricted?!” Soon, both of them were shocked again.</p>
<p>They saw that after landing on the ground, Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng regained their freedom, they could move freely.</p>
<p>Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng were shocked and joyful.</p>
<p>The latter quickly grabbed Fang Yuan, who was sleeping, and retreated rapidly.</p>
<p>What made them even more joyful was that after the ten extreme formation created the mysterious ball, the force that restricted the space around them vanished. If Fang Yuan woke up, they would be able to use Fixed Immortal Travel and escape.</p>
<p>But Fang Yuan was deep in sleep.</p>
<p>Immortal zombie Bo Qing’s eyes shined with deep killing intent, he was about to use his sword path Immortal Gu, when he felt that the thoughts in his mind, just as they appeared, were sucked out and into the ground.</p>
<p>Evidently, the power of the grand tribulation earth collapse had a variety of targets. Not only could it target the Gu Immortal’s body, it could even affect their thoughts, wills, and emotions.</p>
<p>Just like this, Bo Qing could only watch as Hei Lou Lan and the others escaped from under his nose!</p>

<body>
<h1>Chapter 1013</h1>
<p>This grand tribulation earth collapse was completely unreasonable!</p>
<p>Not only were the Gu Immortals trapped in the ground, their thoughts were also interrupted.</p>
<p>Without thoughts to mobilize their Gu worms, what methods could Gu Immortals use?</p>
<p>Unless they could use wisdom path methods to resist it.</p>
<p>But the condition for that was, the wisdom path method had to be set up in advance. Otherwise, once they fell into earth collapse, even if the Gu Immortal had a wisdom path method to use, they could not unleash it.</p>
<p>Taking action in advance was the only way.</p>
<p>Without the initiative, one was doomed.</p>
<p>This showed the power of the grand tribulation, one could just imagine the might of the myriad tribulation.</p>
<p>“Damn it!!” Ying Wu Xie struggled continuously, there were few results from his actions, he sank deeper and deeper as he screamed.</p>
<p>“Stop struggling, stop thinking. It will make our situation worse, we cannot deal with this at the moment.” Immortal zombie Bo Qing who was beside him said in a calm tone.</p>
<p>Or strictly speaking, Mo Yao’s remnant soul was very calm.</p>
<p>She was experienced.</p>
<p>When she was alive, she helped her lover Bo Qing with his tribulation, the myriad tribulation that she had seen before was more terrifying than this!</p>
<p>Comparatively, the grand tribulation earth collapse was harmless and gentle.</p>
<p>“We can only hope that our main body saves us.” Ying Wu Xie sighed, looking at Spectral Soul.</p>
<p>Only to see that Spectral Soul was also sinking, half of his huge legs were already below the surface of the ground. Not just that, his left leg’s lower portion was tightly sewed onto the ground.</p>
<p>This was the result of an earlier attack by the Immortal Gu House Embroidered Tower.</p>
<p>Even though Spectral Soul was powerful and mighty, and had used his full efforts, he could not control the entire situation.</p>
<p>At this moment, out of his six eyes, two were staring at Heaven Overseeing Tower, preventing it from moving, the other four were staring at the sky.</p>
<p>At the top of the sky, grey colored clouds were growing in thickness, they descended slowly.</p>
<p>The second myriad tribulation had started.</p>
<p>But it was different from the first, wind lightning prison, that was extremely fast beyond one’s reaction speed, in an instant, the wind and lightning would approach a person and attack them.</p>
<p>This myriad tribulation however, was very slow.</p>
<p>It was so slow that anyone who was undergoing the tribulation could retaliate in many ways.</p>
<p>But Spectral Soul did not move.</p>
<p>He stood quietly, like a solemn mountain.</p>
<p>“Did our main body get hit already?” Ying Wu Xie shouted, looking extremely anxious: “This is such a good chance, you have to retaliate!!”</p>
<p>But until the grey cloud completely shrouded Spectral Soul, he did not move, he stared at Heaven Overseeing Tower, controlling it firmly.</p>
<p>Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals were troubled.</p>
<p>They used the phantom method to make Heaven Overseeing Tower evade Spectral Soul’s attacks. But to think that Spectral Soul’s phantom path attainment level was beyond expectations, he was certainly a great grandmaster.</p>
<p>Heaven Overseeing Tower’s phantom tactic was taken advantage of by Spectral Soul, becoming unable to return to its normal form. Then how could it fight or do anything in that state?</p>
<p>“The myriad tribulation is coming!” Ying Wu Xie gritted his teeth, looking at the grey cloud descend slowly.</p>
<p>Immortal zombie Bo Qing squinted, his muscles were tense.</p>
<p>The grand tribulation earth collapse was enough to make them defenseless and helpless, now that the myriad tribulation had descended, was it the end for Bo Qing and Ying Wu Xie?</p>
<p>The grey cloud descended, but it caused no harm.</p>
<p>“What is going on? Is this a harmless myriad tribulation?!” Ying Wu Xie was nervous, seeing that there was no disturbance, he touched his body all over as he cried out in suspicion.</p>
<p>Bo Qing did not answer him.</p>
<p>Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals recognized this myriad tribulation, but Ying Wu Xie was unable to obtain the answer.</p>
<p>“Is this grey memory?” The Heavenly Court Gu Immortal who recognized it cried out.</p>
<p>“What is grey memory?”</p>
<p>The Heavenly Court Gu Immortal recalled: “When I was young, I had once obtained the inheritance of a rank eight Gu Immortal. In the past, this rank eight Gu Immortal failed to pass a myriad tribulation, grey memory. During his final moments, he left behind his inheritance. This myriad tribulation is harmless to the body, but it draws out the person’s deepest memories. These memories were either those which had caused huge pain to the Gu Immortal’s mind, or were a trauma in their life.”</p>
<p>“Don’t look down on this myriad tribulation. That rank eight senior did not even last fifteen minutes under this myriad tribulation, he lost all his motivation and became dejected without any fighting spirit left in him, he lost all interest in life.”</p>
<p>“The saying goes, you are your worst enemy. Looking at Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, he was invincible in the world, then wasn’t his biggest enemy himself? For everyone in the world, even if we become a rank nine venerable, we will have a period of time when we were weak. We cultivate step by step, becoming stronger along the way. Spectral Soul Demon Venerable slaughtered people over the world, he had an immense murderous nature, people guessed that he might have suffered some trauma when he was young.”</p>
<p>“Who does not have any painful memories in the deepest part of their mind? Who does not have any shameful memories that they cannot express? Who has never made any decision that went against their nature? Along the way, who has never made a mistake? Amazing, simply amazing! This myriad tribulation is incredible! Perhaps even Spectral Soul is going to falter here.”</p>
<p>Myriad tribulation — Grey Memory.</p>
<p>Because he recognized this myriad tribulation, Spectral Soul did not move.</p>
<p>He knew that no attacks could resolve this tribulation. Only by entering it and facing his past, all the shame, trauma, humiliation and anger, could he pass this tribulation.</p>
<p>The grey clouds coiling around his body suddenly had bright lights, there was even sound emitting from them.</p>
<p>What was presented in front of the immortals was a scene from Spectral Soul Demon Venerable’s childhood.</p>
<p>“Kill her! Kill her! Kill her!”</p>
<p>A band of Gu Masters surrounded a family of three, their eyes were reddened as they shouted ruthlessly.</p>
<p>“Father! You cannot kill mother!!” A child protected his heavily injured mother, yelling with all his energy.</p>
<p>“Hmph, all demonic path members should be executed! We of the righteous path have to uphold justice and slay members of the demonic path!! Why can’t we kill her? Not only can we kill her, we must kill her. Only by killing her can our clan’s humiliation be purged!!” The old Gu Master who was leading the group, said with a righteous tone, he shouted angrily, he was the grandfather of the boy, the leader of the clan.</p>
<p>The clan leader’s words received a warm cheer from all of the clan elders and elite Gu Masters.</p>
<p>They raised their arms and shouted.</p>
<p>“Kill!” Kill! “Kill!”</p>
<p>“Kill!” Kill! “Kill!”</p>
<p>Whoosh.</p>
<p>With a soft sound, fresh blood spewed out.</p>
<p>The boy quickly turned around, at the next moment, his eyes opened wide, as his pupils shrunk to pin size.</p>
<p>He saw his father had moved in front of him, his face was red and he was gritting his teeth, there were tears in his eyes as he suppressed his intense emotions. The dagger that he was holding had already stabbed deeply into the heart of his beloved wife.</p>
<p>The boy opened his mouth and wanted to scream.</p>
<p>But he did not make any sound.</p>
<p>From that day onwards, he became very quiet.</p>
<p>Evidently, this boy was Spectral Soul Demon Venerable when he was a child.</p>
<p>Under the influence of grey memory, his childhood trauma was no longer hidden, it was displayed in front of everyone.</p>
<p>The grey fog moved, as another scene appeared.</p>
<p>Several years had passed.</p>
<p>The young boy had grown slightly, he was standing in front of his grandfather respectfully.</p>
<p>His grandfather, who was the clan leader, drank a sip of tea, asking casually: “I let you read about the history of our clan, what insight have you gained? Come, tell grandfather.”</p>
<p>“Grandfather.” The boy first greeted, before saying: “I have had many gains these last few days, I have learned much.”</p>
<p>“Oh? Tell me.” The old man asked in curiosity.</p>
<p>“Looking at history, I realized that there is one universal law in this world, that is — to kill.” The boy said calmly.</p>
<p>“Kill?” The old man frowned, he replied in a grim tone: “Explain it to me.”</p>
<p>“Yes.” The boy continued: “When we are hungry and need food for our bellies, we kill prey. When we have enemies, we kill our enemies and eliminate the threat. When the world is peaceful, the ruler will kill his meritorious subjects to gain authority and control…” The boy said slowly, he did not notice that the old man’s frown was getting deeper.</p>
<p>The boy continued: “Throughout history, it is a case of you killing me, and me killing you. What is a hero? They are someone who has killed the most enemies. What is a loser? They are someone who could not kill their opponent and got killed instead.”</p>
<p>“Actually, even though kill is a word, it has very deep meaning behind it. How to kill, should one use Gu worms and do it themselves, or hire other Gu Masters to accomplish the deed? Sometimes, we cannot kill outright, because that would attract trouble, so we choose to assassinate. There are many forms of assassination, for example…”</p>
<p>“Enough!” The old man bellowed, in his anger, he smashed the cup on the ground.</p>
<p>The fragments shot past the boy’s face as a wound was created, blood flowed slowly.</p>
<p>The old man stood up, pointing at the boy, shouting in anger: “I let you study and read, it is for you to admire the achievements of our clan’s ancestors, and learn about the glorious history of our clan. I want you to learn about courtesy and integrity, I want you to understand the glory of the righteous path. And you actually learned about killing? What sort of twisted logic is this? You, you, you, you are confined for a month, stay in the house and reflect upon your mistake!!”</p>
<p>“Yes, grandfather.” The boy replied, he spoke softly, but there was a stubborn light in his eyes.</p>
<p>The grey fog moved, as the scene changed again.</p>
<p>Several years later, the boy was already a rank one Gu Master.</p>
<p>“Hehehe, I finally refined hidden aura Gu today, I will give grandfather a shock by hiding in the study room!” The youngster sneaked into the room.</p>
<p>“Eh? No, I am only a rank one Gu Master, while grandfather is rank four. It is very easy for him to find me. I should hide behind the secret door, in the hidden tunnel, and jump out to scare grandfather later.” The youngster changed his mind, he opened the secret door and hid behind it.</p>
<p>Not long after, he heard a commotion.</p>
<p>He did not dare to open the secret door, he could only listen to the voices.</p>
<p>Two people walked into the study room.</p>
<p>His grandfather walked with heavy and hurried steps, he was furious.</p>
<p>“This traitorous son! He really wants to rebel? He wants to harm his father?!” The old clan leader was enraged, he slammed the table and caused a huge impact.</p>
<p>“Clan leader, the evidence is conclusive. News that you have obtained an eighty year lifespan Gu has already spread out. It is confirmed that young clan leader wants to harm you.”</p>
<p>A hoarse voice could be heard.</p>
<p>The youngster could recognize instantly that this was a certain clan elder, the personal aide of the clan leader.</p>
<p>“Hmph! This traitorous son, he wants to seize my authority, how can that be possible?!” The clan leader shouted.</p>
<p>“Clan leader, there are many higher ups supporting young clan leader.” The hoarse voice said again.</p>
<p>There was a brief silence.</p>
<p>The youngster’s grandfather’s voice said solemnly: “My son’s influence is not to be underestimated. If we suppress him openly, not only will our reputation in the righteous path be damaged, there will be internal strife that would weaken the clan. Hmm… go and prepare, we will strike first and find a chance to assassinate him. Once he is dead, as long as we kill this traitorous son, the other clan elders will have no choice but to give up.”</p>
<p>“Clan leader is wise!”</p>
<p>Behind the secret door, in the hidden tunnel, the youngster covered his mouth, his entire body was shivering intensely.</p>

<h1>Chapter 1014</h1>
<p>Tai Bai Yun Sheng carried Fang Yuan as he sprinted and escaped.</p>
<p>Hei Lou Lan took one final look at the grey fog, Spectral Soul Demon Venerable’s pitiful childhood made Hei Lou Lan feel a sense of understanding due to her similar experience.</p>
<p>For some reason, the grand tribulation, earth collapse, did not affect them.</p>
<p>Tai Bai Yun Sheng and Hei Lou Lan made use of this chance to escape, running away while feeling shock and joy.</p>
<p>The ten extreme formation was in its critical moment, it could not restrict the surroundings, Tai Bai Yun Sheng and Hei Lou Lan escaped very easily.</p>
<p>Soon, the battle of Yi Tian Mountain was thrown to the back of their minds.</p>
<p>In a few minutes, they could no longer see the grey clouds in the sky.</p>
<p>“Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan, wake up!” Hei Lou Lan slapped Fang Yuan’s face, but he was not responding, he was sound asleep.</p>
<p>Without Fang Yuan’s Fixed Immortal Travel, they could not leave Southern Border.</p>
<p>Unless they crossed the regional walls.</p>
<p>But that would cause too much losses.</p>
<p>“Gu Immortals from Northern Plains?!” A voice could be heard from afar.</p>
<p>Next, three Southern Border Gu Immortals landed.</p>
<p>Seeing Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng in a pathetic state full of injuries, the leading Gu Immortal was shocked: “Looking at your injuries, did you come from Yi Tian Mountain? Speak! What actually happened there?”</p>
<p>Tai Bai Yun Sheng had an expression of wariness.</p>
<p>Hei Lou Lan smiled coldly: “You want to know what happened, go there and see for yourselves.”</p>
<p>The three Southern Border Gu Immortals snorted, they did not have high cultivation level, they were here to investigate because the Gu Immortal experts of their respective clans had gone to Yi Tian Mountain and lost all traces of communication with them.</p>
<p>No matter which super force it was, they were very concerned about the ownership of Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage.</p>
<p>Furthermore, Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s auras were very weak, they were covered in injuries and were not in their best condition.</p>
<p>“We are asking you to speak, you had better obey us.”</p>
<p>“Northern Plains Gu Immortals coming to Southern Border and still acting so arrogantly!”</p>
<p>“Attack!! Take down the three of them.”</p>
<p>Thus, a battle occurred out of nowhere.</p>
<p>And in Yi Tian Mountain’s battlefield, the grey fog was still spreading.</p>
<p>The situation was in a stalemate.</p>
<p>No matter how hard the Heavenly Court Gu Immortals tried, they could not go out of their phantom form.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie and Bo Qing were all immobilized on the ground because of earth collapse.</p>
<p>Waves of grey fog coiled around immortal zombie Bo Qing as they shined with bright lights, showing constantly changing scenes.</p>
<p>These were Mo Yao’s memories, as a variant human, she had suffered a fate of being ostracized.</p>
<p>Speaking of which, it was strange, Bo Qing’s immortal zombie body actually had Mo Yao’s remnant soul. What happened in the past to Bo Qing during his tribulation was unknown.</p>
<p>But Mo Yao, who was now present, had to endure the attack, because her remnant soul was in the grey fog, the most painful memories in her mind was drawn out.</p>
<p>“Hmph.” Immortal zombie Bo Qing snickered.</p>
<p>Facing these sad traumas in her life, Mo Yao’s remnant soul showed her strong-willed personality.</p>
<p>“Strange, why are you unaffected by the grey fog?” Bo Qing looked at Ying Wu Xie who was beside him.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie was staring at Bo Qing’s grey fog intently.</p>
<p>“I don’t know.” Ying Wu Xie shook his head, he pointed: “Yours is pretty interesting.”</p>
<p>Bo Qing snorted: “It seems that because you were just born, and only have eighteen hours to live, you had no time to experience these things.”</p>
<p>Saying this, Bo Qing’s face was full of worries.</p>
<p>The myriad tribulation grey memory was not a threat to Ying Wu Xie. That was because he was too young, he did not have much life experience.</p>
<p>But it was a completely different story for Spectral Soul Demon Venerable!</p>
<p>“This second myriad tribulation is truly vicious! Once you are within the grey fog, not only are your past traumas revealed, the deepest emotions in your mind will be drawn out, you will experience the emotions that you once felt. My memories have already caused me to feel upset. If the recollection was on my lover, I might… If I am already this affected by it, then for Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, who has had a longer life and much more experience, how would he deal with it?” Thinking about this, Mo Yao’s remnant soul looked up by moving the immortal zombie body.</p>
<p>Inside the grey fog, Spectral Soul was like a tall mountain, he was unmoving, like a dormant volcano.</p>
<p>Surrounding him, the grey fog was rumbling, countless rainbow lights were shining. This fog showed all kinds of images, Spectral Soul had already become a Gu Immortal.</p>
<p>Inside Earth Abyss.</p>
<p>“Youngster, you want to obtain my inheritance?” In the darkness, two eyes shined brightly like lanterns.</p>
<p>“Yes.” The Gu Immortal spoke concisely. He wore a black robe with messy shoulder length hair, his expression was cold, bright light shined in his eyes from time to time.</p>
<p>“Hehehe… hahaha!” In the darkness, a crazed laugh could be heard, it got louder and louder, it caused one’s eardrums to tremble.</p>
<p>After a while, the laughter stopped.</p>
<p>“It seems you have made your decision! Then this is your inheritance test. Roar!” Following a loud roar, a strange beast came out of the darkness.</p>
<p>This beast had four limbs, its body was covered in scales, it had a crocodile’s head.</p>
<p>Its huge crocodile-like mouth had sharp teeth inside, they were shining with cold light, like blades of daggers.</p>
<p>Above its head, it had two curly dragon horns.</p>
<p>But from its body, there was the aura of a Gu Immortal.</p>
<p>Evidently, this was a beastman Gu Immortal.</p>
<p>Beastmen were a type of variant human, in history, they were the most targeted during the era of the three Demon Venerables. Who could have thought that Spectral Soul encountered a beastman Gu Immortal during his life.</p>
<p>This beastman Gu Immortal with dragon horns and a crocodile’s head opened his mouth, biting at the Gu Immortal’s soul.</p>
<p>But Gu Immortal Spectral Soul did not dodge or evade.</p>
<p>The beastman bit, tearing apart Spectral Soul’s arm.</p>
<p>Blood spewed out.</p>
<p>Crack, crack.</p>
<p>The beastman chewed, under the grinding of his sharp teeth, Spectral Soul’s arm was torn to shreds, blood oozed out of the space between his teeth, flowing everywhere.</p>
<p>Gulp, the beastman swallowed, sending the blood and flesh, along with the bones, down its throat.</p>
<p>“Delicious! I have not eaten such fresh food in a long time!” The beastman Gu Immortal shouted, pouncing again.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul did not retreat, he allowed him to continue biting.</p>
<p>The beastman Gu Immortal quickly ate his other arm, and his two legs, devouring them.</p>
<p>Assaulted by intense pain, Spectral Soul was expressionless, he did not even frown at all.</p>
<p>Instead, the beastman Gu Immortal showed some shock on his face.</p>
<p>“You are different from those previous people.” The beastman Gu Immortal stopped eating, he assessed Spectral Soul as he spoke with a tone of praise: “You have no emotion of fear at all. You know, I invented food path, I did a lot of research on eating. Many people wanted to obtain my inheritance, they allowed me to eat them, they looked very tough on the outside with no expression, but they were filled with pain and fear on the inside.”</p>
<p>“Don’t think that emotions can be concealed so easily. Actually, this kind of flesh tastes sour and disgusting, it is not delicious at all, I can tell when I eat it.”</p>
<p>“Then, is my flesh delicious?” Spectral Soul asked.</p>
<p>The beastman Gu Immortal frowned, he spoke: “Honestly speaking, your flesh feels cold, your bones are too tough, they are not delicious. They taste like the icicles that I ate during my childhood, when I was hunted down by you humans in frozen lands while escaping in hunger.”</p>
<p>“But forget it. Hahaha, I have been trapped here, I have not eaten anything fresh in a long time. How can I not be satisfied with this? Furthermore, what I love eating most are the heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys, they are my favorites, hahaha. Lad, you want to obtain my inheritance, there is a price to pay! Don’t die at the last moment!”</p>
<p>Saying this, the beastman Gu Immortal scratched, tearing open Spectral Soul’s stomach, pulling out his large and small intestines.</p>
<p>Next, in front of Spectral Soul, he sucked them into his mouth, crying out that they were delicious.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul had a pale face, but his expression was still cold, as if those were not his intestines.</p>
<p>Deep in the beastman Gu Immortal’s eyes, there was a flash of panic.</p>
<p>He cackled, brandishing his claws, pointing at Spectral Soul’s chest: “Next, I will eat your lungs, you have to endure it!”</p>
<p>“What can I not endure?” Spectral Soul smiled coldly: “In this special environment, even if I am eaten until only my head is left, I can still grow back. And by then, I would obtain your inheritance. After that, you would lose all value to me, you should worry about yourself.”</p>
<p>The beastman Gu Immortal’s movements froze for a second, he went into a rage, his eyes were spewing fire: “Lad! You talk big! I want to see how long you can endure this for?”</p>
<p>He purposely moved slowly, causing friction in Spectral Soul’s body, making him feel that his intestines and organs were being held, and his bones were being scratched, to try to generate fear and panic in him.</p>
<p>The beastman Gu Immortal took out Spectral Soul’s organs and ate them one by one. In front of him, he opened his mouth from time to time, letting Spectral Soul see the miserable state of his organs that were crushed to bits.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul’s calm expression slowly changed, turning into one of interest.</p>
<p>The beastman Gu Immortal saw this gaze and had a change of expression: “What are you thinking of?”</p>
<p>“I find it interesting.”</p>
<p>“I am eating your flesh, I am eating your organs, you find it interesting?” The beastman Gu Immortal looked at Spectral Soul with a disbelieving expression.</p>
<p>“Of course, eating is natural in this world, but on the other side of eating, there is killing. We eat meat, we have to hunt. When we eat vegetables, we have to uproot them, that is also killing. Even if we eat nothing but wind and drink nothing but water, we are still swallowing and digesting them. All in all, eating is killing. Of course, killing is not just eating, thus, your food path is inferior to my killing path.”</p>
<p>“I have eaten many things, but I have never been eaten by another individual. You are eating me now, that is the same as killing me. Similarly, I have killed many life forms, but I have never been slowly killed by anyone else. This allowed me to understand the feeling of being killed, it is a form of enjoyment. Those who kill have to be prepared to be killed. Simply by killing others, I cannot fully comprehend killing. Thank you for letting me comprehend a deeper meaning in killing.”</p>
<p>The beastman Gu Immortal heard this and opened his eyes wide, he looked at Spectral Soul like he was seeing a nightmare, a monster!</p>
<p>Cold sweat began to form on his head.</p>
<p>He felt that he could not swallow the young man in front of him anymore.</p>
<p>He gulped, feeling that his throat was blocked.</p>
<p>“Lad! I will eat your upper body now, let’s see how arrogant you can be!!” The beastman Gu Immortal shouted, devouring with a frenzied gaze, his eyes were reddened.</p>
<p>Soon, Gu Immortal Spectral Soul had only his head left.</p>
<p>Seeing this, all of the Heavenly Court Gu Immortals, along with immortal zombie Bo Qing and Ying Wu Xie, were silent.</p>
<p>Even though he only had a head left, Gu Immortal Spectral Soul was still calm and at peace.</p>
<p>“This, what sort of willpower…” Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals were lost for words.</p>
<p>Earlier, the Heavenly Court Gu Immortal who was very confident of the myriad tribulation grey memory saw this and his expression turned dark, he lost his confidence.</p>
<p>But at this moment, the beastman Gu Immortal laughed wildly.</p>
<p>He laughed in an insane manner, he was so happy, tears were flowing out of his eyes.</p>
<p>It was filled with a tone of mockery.</p>
<p>“Hahaha, you were deceived, but don’t be upset, you are the two hundred and seventieth person who was deceived. Hahaha!”</p>
<p>Spectral Soul’s gaze flashed: “Is this inheritance fake?”</p>
<p>“Of course it is real! Back then, I cultivated to rank eight, Barbarian Jiu Lie tried to trap me instead of killing me, he was after my food path, hmph! I could not beat him, but he could not obtain what he wanted so easily either. I established an agreement with him, I would pass the food path inheritance to future humans, but not him. And the inheritor must endure my eating test.”</p>
<p>“After making the agreement, I have been trapped here, many humans came here in order to pass the test, to obtain knowledge of food path. But even Barbarian Jiu Lie could not understand my true ability. Hehehe, my entire body is full of food path dao marks, I have reached a level that has never been achieved by anyone before me. I can consume rocks and wind to fill my stomach. I can even consume Gu worms to increase the dao marks on me. I ate dao marks non-stop, and finally, after a thousand years, I broke the agreement that we had made.”</p>
<p>“Hahaha! So do you get it? Next, I will eat your head and turn you into my nutrients and nourish me, to allow me to recover. Don’t worry, I will remember you, you are one of the most unique among the pitiful people that I have eaten.”</p>
<p>“So that is it.” Spectral Soul still had a plain expression, he was very calm.</p>
<p>The beastman Gu Immortal’s expression froze, he grabbed his throat, shouting anxiously: “What is going on? What is going on?!”</p>
<p>Spectral Soul laughed coldly: “I would never allow another person to determine my life and death. Not to mention an old agreement. You think my flesh is so easy to consume? Every piece of flesh that you eat contains a part of my soul. You are a great expert in food path, but coincidentally, I also have some attainment in soul path.”</p>
<p>“Soul path? When did such a path appear?! The splitting of the soul will cause you pain that is immensely higher than the tearing of your flesh!”</p>
<p>“I’ll let you know, I am the founder of soul path. As for that bit of pain… only by experiencing it will I enjoy the amazing feeling of killing, isn’t that right?” Spectral Soul said as the beastman Gu Immortal’s expression turned ashen, he stopped moving.</p>
<p>He was dead.</p>
<p>His eyes were opened wide, staring at Gu Immortal Spectral Soul.</p>
<p>Even though the other party only had his head left.</p>
<p>In the beastman Gu Immortal’s eyes, there was only fear.</p>

<h1>Chapter 1015</h1>
<p>Not only the beastman Gu Immortal, the Heavenly Court Gu Immortals who saw this also felt immensely fearful.</p>
<p>“Demon! Demon!”</p>
<p>“This Spectral Soul is completely crazed, even though there was a cause, he is filled with demonic thoughts, he thinks that nothing cannot be killed, he thinks that the greatest joy is killing, he thinks that the Dao of heaven and earth is essentially killing.”</p>
<p>“No wonder he could become a Demon Venerable, and caused the greatest bloodshed in the world! Even the pain of tearing his soul apart felt splendid to him. He seems cold and logical, but he is actually crazy to the extreme. Nobody can save him, his mind is incapable of redemption!”</p>
<p>“I have to agree, an invincible mindset is the basis for becoming invincible. He has such a mindset, it is simply demonic, but because of this, his mind will never waver, everything in this world will only reinforce that misconceived ideology!”</p>
<p>“The myriad tribulation grey memory cannot stop him. Even though he is not a Demon Venerable now, and cannot be ‘physically invincible’, he is still mentally invincible!”</p>
<p>Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals discussed, they were anxious, fearful, disdainful, and filled with hatred, all of these were on their expressions.</p>
<p>Chirp, chirp…</p>
<p>Just at this moment, in the sky, there was the clear chirping of birds.</p>
<p>Heavenly Court’s immortals looked up, feeling great joy.</p>
<p>“Myriad tribulation!”</p>
<p>“Another myriad tribulation!”</p>
<p>“The myriad tribulation grey memory is not over yet, but another myriad tribulation is on the way already.”</p>
<p>“Spectral Soul Demon Venerable is defying heaven, once he revives, the world would undergo bloodshed again. Heaven would not allow him to do so, thus it caused these immense tribulations. He will definitely not succeed!”</p>
<p>The chirping of birds became louder and more frequent.</p>
<p>The sky was shining with a jade light.</p>
<p>Large groups of birds entered a formation and charged down.</p>
<p>“Myriad tribulation — Grand Clear Space.” One of the Heavenly Court Gu Immortals recognized this.</p>
<p>They seemed like birds, but it was actually the power of space path. Wherever the flying birds went, space would be cleared out, nothing could exist there, it was a terrifying power that could not be stopped.</p>
<p>“This is grand clear space? In history, there was a Northern Plains predecessor who failed the tribulation but survived it, with an inspiration, he created the immortal killer move three winged green bird. His descendants obtained it and had once dominated Northern Plains.”</p>
<p>“That’s right, this is the tribulation!”</p>
<p>Under the expectant gazes of Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals, the jade flying birds flew down, circling around Spectral Soul.</p>
<p>Wherever the flying birds went, long and deep wounds were formed, as if they were sharp blades.</p>
<p>Wounds soon formed all over Spectral Soul’s body, it was a terrible sight.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul had no reaction, but Ying Wu Xie was screaming on the ground.</p>
<p>Immortal zombie Bo Qing was also showing nervousness on his face.</p>
<p>The grey fog surrounded Spectral Soul, its power was seemingly causing him to dwell in his memories.</p>
<p>A vast amount of rainbow fog that was thousands of meters tall rumbled in the surrounding hundred li, countless scenes were shown, they displayed Spectral Soul Demon Venerable’s rich life experiences in front of everyone.</p>
<p>Suddenly, behind Spectral Soul’s head, rainbow fog expanded, forming a huge veil that pushed away all of the surrounding scenes.</p>
<p>In the image, there was an abundance of green light, this was a green heaven fragment world of the immemorial nine heavens!</p>
<p>A group of Gu Masters were inside fighting with a group of featherman Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul, who was still a Gu Immortal, was also among them. He wore a black robe and had black hair that swayed with the wind, killing intent was oozing.</p>
<p>“Humans, you are too much!” The featherman Gu Immortal leader cried out, throwing out an Immortal Gu House.</p>
<p>It was Sacred Feather City.</p>
<p>More than ten featherman Gu Immortals flew into Sacred Feather City, as the city burst out with a glorious light.</p>
<p>The human Gu Immortals could not beat them, they were utterly defeated.</p>
<p>Gu Immortal Spectral Soul was unable to resist the might of the Immortal Gu House, he was heavily injured, barely surviving.</p>
<p>Next, the scene vanished, turning into countless smaller fragmented images. Tens of thousands of images surrounded Spectral Soul, encircling him tightly, almost without any gaps.</p>
<p>All of the experiences in his life, as long as there were emotions in them, they were shown, everyone was watching with dazed expressions, they could not keep up with the number of scenes.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul’s entire life was condensed endlessly.</p>
<p>Everyone could see that he walked further and further on the demonic path, his killing nature also intensified, as his cultivation level rose.</p>
<p>A huge screen of fog was formed, pushing away the surrounding images again.</p>
<p>The position was at Spectral Soul’s left leg.</p>
<p>Seeing this, the immortals had an understanding: The larger the scene that came from the rainbow fog, the more variation there was in Spectral Soul’s emotions at the time.</p>
<p>Thus, the moment the scene started, everyone’s attention was drawn.</p>
<p>This was a silver-white space.</p>
<p>It was the location of a Thieving Heaven true inheritance.</p>
<p>Gu Immortal Spectral Soul barged in, arrogance could be felt from his expression, he spoke to himself: “Thieving Heaven, even though you were a Demon Venerable, you are already dead. Why don’t you leave your inheritance to me.”</p>
<p>However, the Thieving Heaven true inheritances were left for otherworldly demons.</p>
<p>Gu Immortal Spectral Soul was not an otherworldly demon, he was not qualified to inherit it.</p>
<p>He tried all kinds of methods, but he ended up spitting out blood, his expression was pale as he returned empty handed.</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>When Spectral Soul became a Demon Venerable, he dominated the world, slaughtering the masses.</p>
<p>He stood on a peak, his hair was white as snow.</p>
<p>Looking afar, looking at a field of corpses, looking at the perishing life forms.</p>
<p>This was recorded in human history, Spectral Soul destroyed a certain super force and slaughtered over ten million people just to obtain lifespan Gu.</p>
<p>He played with the lifespan Gu in his hands, while his expression was perplexed.</p>
<p>He looked over the scenery, muttering to himself: “Heaven, if you want to kill us, why did you create us?”</p>
<p>Even though he had strength that was invincible in the world, he was perplexed.</p>
<p>His killing path could not explain this.</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>Another huge screen of fog appeared.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul Demon Venerable came to a Thieving Heaven true inheritance space, the same place he had once went to in his youth.</p>
<p>Thieving Heaven’s will formed in front of him: “Anyone who can become a venerable has an outstanding aspect. I hope you can be magnanimous and leave this true inheritance for a fated person.”</p>
<p>Spectral Soul Demon Venerable’s hands were behind his back, he had a cold expression: “When I was young, I had desired everything in here. But now, I have already obtained my Dao, no matter how precious the things are here, they are of no attraction to me. I came here because I have a question.”</p>
<p>Thieving Heaven’s will smiled: “I understand. Those who have reached our heights will have questions about heaven and earth. How about this, I will share my experiences with you, as a reference.”</p>
<p>“Okay.” Spectral Soul Demon Venerable nodded.</p>
<p>Thieving Heaven’s will continued: “You might already know, I am not from this world, I am what you would call an otherworldly demon.”</p>
<p>“The world I came from is different from here in both its foundation and scenery. To me, I am only a traveler here, I want to go home, I have strived over my whole life for that goal.”</p>
<p>“My real name is Ben Jie Sun, in my original appearance, I had blond hair and blue eyes. Before coming here, I had a beautiful fiancée, we were preparing to get married. I had a high status in society, that was because I was a mecha operator.”</p>
<p>“Meka?” Spectral Soul Demon Venerable’s eyes were shining with deep interest.</p>
<p>Even though he had traveled over the five regions, this was the first time he was hearing about other worlds.</p>
<p>“Mecha… you can think of it as a puppet, or a suit of armor. A human stays inside and manipulates it to unleash immense battle strength.” Thieving Heaven’s will explained vaguely.</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>A moment later, another scene appeared.</p>
<p>Within Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul Demon Venerable held Giant Sun’s true inheritance, looking at it as he sighed deeply: “This possession method can extend lifespan, but possessing a body using the soul is only a desperate method, death is still unavoidable. To extend one’s life, lifespan Gu is the best option. The path of a Gu Immortal is filled with calamities and tribulations, it is hard for the body to resist them, and it is hard for the soul to exist independently, the maintenance of longevity means the defiance of heaven… it is hard, hard, hard!”</p>
<p>“Giant Sun, oh Giant Sun, even if you created Eighty-Eight True Yang Building and attempted to plunder the lifespan Gu in Northern Plains. But heaven’s will is vicious, fewer and fewer lifespan Gu are being produced, even if you obtain all of the lifespan Gu in the world, so what?”</p>
<p>“Heaven’s will dictates the production of lifespan Gu. To live a long life, the crucial thing is heaven’s will.”</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>At the river of time.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul Demon Venerable stood in the air, looking at a red lotus that was floating on the river’s surface.</p>
<p>His entire body was emitting a thick darkness that was corroding the red lotus.</p>
<p>Eventually, after exerting all his efforts, he successfully left a ghost face on the surface of the red lotus.</p>
<p>“Throughout history, the most mysterious Red Lotus Demon Venerable…” Spectral Soul Demon Venerable sighed, his face was full of fatigue as his eyes shined brightly: “I want to know, why did you purposely stop and leave behind the heavily injured fate Immortal Gu?”</p>
<p>A long time passed.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul Demon Venerable’s expression was mixed with shock and bafflement.</p>
<p>He muttered.</p>
<p>“Star Constellation Immortal Venerable truly made a deep scheme!”</p>
<p>“So only a complete otherworldly demon can thoroughly destroy fate.”</p>
<p>“Even Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable is only half an otherworldly demon. He is similar to the immortal killer move soul replacement that I created, his soul is from another world, but his body was born here.”</p>
<p>“I want to extend my lifespan, I have to defy heaven, and go against heaven’s will. Unfortunately, heaven’s will has no soul, I cannot kill it. Maybe with the help of this Red Lotus true inheritance, I can become half an otherworldly demon…”</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>In a dark secret room.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul Demon Venerable sat on the ground, there were countless Gu formations in front of him.</p>
<p>Inside the Gu formation, there were countless corpses, including men, women, young and old, and all sorts of variant humans.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul Demon Venerable had disheveled hair now, his hands and body were covered in blood, he was skinny like a skeleton, his eyes were deeply swollen, but they were shining with brilliant light.</p>
<p>He was staring at a book fixedly.</p>
<p>&lt;&lt;The Legends of Ren Zu&gt;&gt;.</p>
<p>“The Legends of Ren Zu, The Legends of Ren Zu, to think that I only truly comprehended you today. You are an exposition of human path, you are the true inheritance left behind by Ren Zu.”</p>
<p>“With methods of human path, I can create a completely new body, after soul replacement, I will become half an otherworldly demon!”</p>
<p>“Maybe not just that, I can still…”</p>
<p>“It is a pity. It is too late, it is too late! I am heavily injured beyond treatment, death is approaching me.”</p>
<p>Seeing this, Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals were deeply in shock.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul Demon Venerable was invincible in the world, but he actually died from injuries. Who hurt him? Or did he injure himself after testing out human path methods?</p>
<p>The myriad tribulation grand clear space was still continuing.</p>
<p>More than half of Spectral Soul’s thousand arms were already chopped off by the jade flying birds. His body was covered in wounds, but he was not resisting at all.</p>

<h1>Chapter 1016</h1>
<p>There was another scene.</p>
<p>Inside the door of life and death.</p>
<p>In Obsession Death Domain.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul Demon Venerable had no body, what was displayed was the soul with three heads and a thousand arms.</p>
<p>He looked at his appearance in the lake, muttering to himself: “Very good. I created a method of soul devouring based on food path, it not only let me return to my peak condition, I could even devour the souls of other Gu Immortals to obtain their memories and cultivation experience over their lives! Hehehe, is this a blessing in disguise…”</p>
<p>“But from start to finish, I did not find the souls of any other Immortal Venerables or Demon Venerables. I can understand why Star Constellation is not here. Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable is not here too, did he return home successfully?”</p>
<p>“It is time to return to the world of the living. Without Dang Hun Mountain and Luo Po valley obstructing me, it is much easier for me to get out of the door of life and death compared to Ren Zu. But my main body cannot move out yet, I should send out some split souls to pave the way for my main body.”</p>
<p>“Hmph! When I regain control of the world, I will deal with you.”</p>
<p>Spectral Soul looked at a special soul. He was sleeping soundly, his body was emitting a golden luster, he was like a sun that had sunken into a lake.</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>In the following scene, there was no Spectral Soul, but seven mortals instead.</p>
<p>“We can see the light of day again, this is amazing.” Among the seven people, one looked up at the sky.</p>
<p>“Even though we are now mortals, we have our main body’s cultivation experiences, we can definitely become Gu Immortals.”</p>
<p>“Due to the obstruction of Reverse Flow River, only seven of us made it out, even though there were ten at the start.”</p>
<p>“It is going to take some effort to let our main body come out. If anyone finds out, it will be troublesome. They will not sit around and watch.”</p>
<p>“To play it safe, we should separate and develop in all five regions secretly. We will communicate once in a while.”</p>
<p>“In that case, why don’t we create an organization to deceive the masses?”</p>
<p>“That’s true, let’s call it Shadow Sect, we will be as unnoticed as shadows, yet we are everywhere. One day, the entire world will be shrouded in our shadows!”</p>
<p>“Alright, the seven of us will be called Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Azure, Blue, and Purple. Like seven of the immemorial heavens, we have once stood at the peak, but have now fallen. This is to warn ourselves that we cannot be lazy or complacent!”</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>“Sword Immortal Bo Qing is actually a split soul of Spectral Soul Demon Venerable!” Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals cried out.</p>
<p>Among them, an old woman said in shame: “There is no denying it with the evidence in front of us. My Spirit Affinity House is at fault for failing to investigate properly.”</p>
<p>“The methods of a Demon Venerable are almost impossible to defend against. Even in Heavenly Court, his split soul spies were lurking here, not to mention Spirit Affinity House. It was fortunate that Tower Lord noticed it and used Heaven Overseeing Tower to expose these shocking secrets, that gave us the chance to stop this terrifying demon!”</p>
<p>Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortal exclaimed.</p>
<p>In this situation, even though they could not do anything, Spectral Soul’s condition was not good either.</p>
<p>Every since grey memory descended, Spectral Soul had been standing still, allowing the myriad tribulation grand clear space to assault him, he was already covered in countless injuries.</p>
<p>“Azure.” On the ground, Mo Yao’s remnant soul, who was inside Bo Qing’s immortal zombie body, felt deep emotions as she saw the young and handsome Azure in the image.</p>
<p>Around her, grey fog rumbled as a scene in the depths of her memory was shown.</p>
<p>All around there were ruins, there were countless mangled corpses lying on the bloody ground.</p>
<p>There seemed to have been an intense battle earlier.</p>
<p>“Husband! Don’t die, you cannot die! If you die, how will I live without you?” Mo Yao hugged Sword Immortal Bo Qing as she sobbed helplessly.</p>
<p>Bo Qing held Mo Yao’s hands weakly: “At this point, I will not conceal it from you. I am from Shadow Sect, I am a split soul of Spectral Soul Demon Venerable. You loved the wrong person, loving me will only cause you pain and hardship. Go, leave, if not, it will be too late.”</p>
<p>Mo Yao’s body shook, she shook her head as she rejected him firmly: “No, I will not go! I don’t care about your identity, I only know that we love each other deeply, that is the most important thing. I don’t care about anything else! If I cannot live together with you, I will die with you!”</p>
<p>“Oh, oh, oh!” Ying Wu Xie watched from the side, he showed a curious and shocked expression.</p>
<p>Grey fog rumbled continuously, the scenes around Spectral Soul became more and more chaotic.</p>
<p>Earlier, it was from Spectral Soul Demon Venerable’s perspective, but now, they were from the perspectives of seven people.</p>
<p>These seven only inherited a small portion of his foundation, they had their own difficulties and pains.</p>
<p>Once in a while, Spectral Soul’s main body would send out more split souls from Obsession Death Domain, traveling through Reverse Flow River.</p>
<p>This made the scenes even more chaotic now.</p>
<p>However, the largest image still attracted everyone’s attention the most.</p>
<p>Six members of Shadow Sect gathered together.</p>
<p>They were the first batch that had left the door of life and death, they were all immortals now.</p>
<p>“It was my mistake!” Green spoke: “If I did not ask Azure to teach that unscrupulous merchant in treasure yellow heaven a lesson, Azure would not have fallen into the trap of love and betrayed us, even our main body was exposed!”</p>
<p>“This is not your fault, Green.” Purple consoled: “These are traps and difficulties created by heaven’s will! Haven’t you all noticed? It was faint when we were still mortals, but as our cultivation level rise, our lives also have become more filled with difficulties, nothing is going smoothly. Anything we do will cause unnecessary consequences, there are problems everywhere.”</p>
<p>“We have to settle Azure’s matter quickly, otherwise, our main body’s plan will be obstructed!”</p>
<p>“What should we do? Azure cultivates sword path and his battle strength is the highest. Do we need to gather our strength and jointly eliminate him?”</p>
<p>“It is possible, but the price is huge, and the risk is high. I have a plan! If it succeeds, we might be able to turn Fairy Mo Yao over to our side.” Purple said slowly.</p>
<p>“Oh? What plan?”</p>
<p>Purple smiled: “The reason why Azure fell into the trap of love was because Spirit Affinity House used their signature Immortal Gu, Love. This Gu is rank nine, its might is nigh unstoppable, thus Azure fell prey to it, it is not his fault. After all, his sword path is not complete yet, he cannot resist such attacks.”</p>
<p>“But coincidentally, I had some enlightenment today, my wisdom path attainment level reached great grandmaster. Because we have been keeping in contact, I have a deep understanding towards Azure’s sword path. After he got into trouble, I have been deducing on how to solve this problem. I deduced an Immortal Gu recipe, it can create wisdom sword Immortal Gu.”</p>
<p>“Wisdom sword Immortal Gu?”</p>
<p>Purple nodded: “That’s right, wisdom sword can cut the threads of love, even if this Gu cannot rival rank nine love Gu, in actuality, we just need to cut away the dao marks from love Gu on Azure’s body. We can make it such that Azure obtains a fortuitous encounter and thinks he created this new Immortal Gu recipe himself.”</p>
<p>“Once he uses it, the love threads on his body will be cut, he will regain his reasoning and become one of us again. Not just that, since Mo Yao still has those love threads, we can use them to turn her over to our side!”</p>
<p>Purple’s words made everyone overjoyed, they praised.</p>
<p>“Brilliant! Brilliant plan!”</p>
<p>“Haha, worthy of a wisdom path Gu Immortal like Purple.”</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>“What?!” Seeing this, immortal zombie Bo Qing, who was on the ground, frowned deeply.</p>
<p>Mo Yao’s remnant soul, which was inside the body, knew that her lover had created wisdom sword Immortal Gu himself!</p>
<p>“Then… after that, did Azure deceive my feelings, or did he still love me?” At once, Mo Yao’s remnant soul shook, she was filled with doubts.</p>
<p>But at this time, another scene was portrayed around Spectral Soul.</p>
<p>Shadow Sect’s seven immortals gathered.</p>
<p>“As long as I become a venerable, even without our main body, I can be unrivaled and dominate the world. By then, with such invincible strength, even heaven’s will may not be able to deal with me. At the least, there are still many lifespan Gu in this era.” Azure raised his head, speaking with an arrogant tone.</p>
<p>“Don’t look down on heaven’s will.” Green said solemnly: “The lesson that we have learned over these years, isn’t it enough?”</p>
<p>“Purple, you are our advisor, what do you think?” Yellow asked.</p>
<p>Purple looked at Azure: “After Azure’s first failure, it seems that as long as we prepare amply and deal with any mishaps, there aren’t big problems… how is Fairy Mo Yao?”</p>
<p>“Hehehe.” Azure laughed coldly: “That silly woman, she is prepared to sacrifice herself for me. She went to Eighty-Eight True Yang Building to refine calamity beckoning Immortal Gu. She wants to draw the myriad tribulation over to herself when I undergo the tribulation.”</p>
<p>Purple shook his head: “Even though Giant Sun Immortal Venerable’s luck path is quite innovative, Mo Yao’s method will not succeed. But since she has the intention to do so, why don’t you hand change soul Immortal Gu and that immortal killer move over to her. If you fail the tribulation, as long as your soul is intact, you will still have a foundation, you can start over rapidly again.”</p>
<p>“Mm. It is better to prepare amply.” Azure nodded expressionlessly.</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>This scene made immortal zombie Bo Qing’s body shake intensely.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie felt something amiss, he quickly said: “Don’t overthink it, this is a myriad tribulation, it might not be real!”</p>
<p>Immortal zombie Bo Qing did not speak, he was silent as a rock, he clenched his fists as his muscles tensed, his eyes were shut tight.</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>Five of the immortals from Shadow Sect were gathered again.</p>
<p>“Blue failed. He used his own immortal aperture and fused with the immemorial blue heaven fragment, in order to research heaven’s will, but he has already fallen deep into the dream realm.” Yellow said with deep pain.</p>
<p>The immortals were silent.</p>
<p>A long while later, Purple said: “Even though Blue can be saved, I think we should not attempt it hastily. This is a trap left by heaven’s will, in order for our members to get exposed.”</p>
<p>“Sigh! We can tell after Azure failed his second attempt to ascend to rank nine. The power of that tribulation was more than ten times as much as the first! Evidently, heaven’s will does not want us to become venerables, it is trying to deal with us at all times.”</p>
<p>“I will not hide it from you, I have recently had a bad feeling. First Azure, then Blue, I am afraid the next one is me.”</p>
<p>The immortals were shocked, they quickly said: “Purple, don’t overthink it.”</p>
<p>“I am not overthinking, this is the prediction of a wisdom path Gu Immortal… After I am gone, Gu Immortal Da Li will take over my position. Also, the power of heaven’s will is higher than our estimations, but it is not impossible to deceive. From now on, Shadow Sect will lay low, accumulating our strength in secret, when we perform the heaven defying deed, we should go all out at once, so that heaven’s will has no time to react to our actions.”</p>

<h1>Chapter 1017</h1>
<p>On a larger image.</p>
<p>“Green, hurry go!” Yellow grabbed Green’s hand, pulling him outwards.</p>
<p>“No, I will not leave! It can still be saved, look at the immortal fetus Gu, it is still alive!” Green screamed, struggling: “Let me go, that is my entire life’s work!”</p>
<p>“You think this explosion is simply an accident? Look at the remaining rank eight immortal materials, take a good look at them!” Yellow called out furiously.</p>
<p>Green’s body shook, clarity returned to his eyes, he had a realization, his forehead was covered in sweat as he said with lingering fear: “These immortal materials are all full of heaven’s will. That was so close, a moment ago, my sense of reasoning was influenced by heaven’s will. Even after setting up this huge formation and hiding in Northern Plains’ Earth Trench, I was still noticed by it?”</p>
<p>“Only a complete otherworldly demon can be fully undetected by heaven’s will. Us being discovered is nothing to be discouraged over. Give up on this attempt, we will start over again.” Yellow consoled.</p>
<p>Green was speechless, looking at the sandy area around him, he nodded solemnly.</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>“I’ve already told you, your deduction is completely wrong, I have nothing to do with Red Lotus’ true inheritances.” Gu Immortal Da Li said helplessly.</p>
<p>The opposing time path Gu Immortal was shrouded in fog, their appearance could not be seen. Only the red lotus marking on their forehead was visible, bright and red.</p>
<p>They smiled coldly: “I used the time path method in Red Lotus’ true inheritance to deduce, how can that be wrong? Red Lotus Demon Venerable’s next true inheritance is with you.”</p>
<p>Da Li was silently before replying: “There is nothing else to say, let’s fight!”</p>
<p>Saying this, he charged ahead.</p>
<p>“You finally stopped evading!” The mysterious Gu Immortal was filled with intent to fight.</p>
<p>After a long battle.</p>
<p>Gu Immortal Da Li could not defeat the other party, he was suppressed by the Immortal Gu House, Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage.</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>The myriad tribulation grand clear space finally ended.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul did not put up any resistance, his entire body was hurt by the countless green birds, his mass had shrunk by one third.</p>
<p>At the same time, Heaven Overseeing Tower was prepared to strike, it seemed to be close to getting out of its phantom form.</p>
<p>The surrounding grey fog had dissipated by half.</p>
<p>This meant that the myriad tribulation, grey memory, was already half over.</p>
<p>But the tribulations from the sky still continued!</p>
<p>Another myriad tribulation was gathering on top of Spectral Soul’s head.</p>
<p>It seemed that as long as Spectral Soul was still alive, heaven’s will would not let him off!</p>
<p>Myriad tribulation — Dark Oil Poison.</p>
<p>From the sky, drops of sticky poisonous oil dripped down.</p>
<p>The oil seemed to be boiling hot, when they landed on Spectral Soul’s body, there was a sizzling noise as smoke rose.</p>
<p>The oil entered the wounds created earlier, flowing in and corroding Spectral Soul’s body, an intense process of rotting was occurring inside.</p>
<p>Soon, the poisonous oil turned from drops to streams, countless streams were raining down from the sky, over the surroundings.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul’s huge body was bathed in poisonous oil, it was rotting at an observable rate, his body mass was shrinking rapidly.</p>
<p>But he did not do anything.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie, who was below, had an anxious expression.</p>
<p>He wanted to call out, but he was in the grand tribulation earth collapse, any movement or intense thinking would cause him to sink further.</p>
<p>“What is wrong with you guys, both of you are acting like this!” He grumbled, looking at immortal zombie Bo Qing beside him.</p>
<p>From the start, immortal zombie Bo Qing was like a statue, not moving, it was as if he was dead, he was unmoved by anything outside.</p>
<p>Thankfully, they were below Spectral Soul’s feet.</p>
<p>Being covered by Spectral Soul’s body which was above the clouds, the myriad tribulation did not cause any harm to Ying Wu Xie or immortal zombie Bo Qing.</p>
<p>A very far distance away.</p>
<p>Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng were assisting each other as they escaped.</p>
<p>Behind them, a group of Southern Border Gu Immortals were chasing them.</p>
<p>The xenophobia of the five regions’ Gu Immortals was quite strong. Even in the most open Eastern Sea, foreign Gu Immortals did not have an easy time, they were often ostracized and bullied by Eastern Sea Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>In the earlier battle, after Hei Lou Lan nearly killed a Southern Border Gu Immortal, the situation became uncontrollable.</p>
<p>The Southern Border Gu Immortals flew into a rage, these Northern Plains outsiders were so arrogant and bullying them, not only did they fight in Southern Border, they injured them. Where did they think they were?</p>
<p>Thus, the chasing continued, not just that, they even gathered their allies and reinforcements.</p>
<p>Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng were not in good condition to begin with, they were injured. They battle as they retreated, under their skillful movement, they got farther and farther away from Yi Tian Mountain.</p>
<p>No matter how huge Hei Lou Lan’s ambition was, she did not dare to get close to that place again.</p>
<p>That was not the stage for rank six Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>Not even rank sevens, and rank eights also could only be side characters.</p>
<p>That was a battlefield where Spectral Soul and heaven’s will fought!</p>
<p>The myriad tribulation dark oil poison had already ended, Spectral Soul was now surrounded by another myriad tribulation.</p>
<p>This myriad tribulation was unknown, it had broken the limits of historical records.</p>
<p>It was formless and ethereal, only a mystical aura that could not be perceived was around.</p>
<p>The aura coiled around him, causing Spectral Soul’s body to explode wherever it went. Spectral Soul was a soul, but it was so condensed it was like material, it was as if it was a soul beast.</p>
<p>With the explosions caused by the aura, the huge mountainous body vanished, only a framework of it was left, huge pieces of the soul were blasted away.</p>
<p>In the grey fog, another scene appeared.</p>
<p>Old Man Yan Shi coughed blood, he held heavenly secret Immortal Gu as he muttered: “So Fang Yuan has Spring Autumn Cicada. No wonder he could refine Fixed Immortal Travel and go to Central Continent’s Hu Immortal blessed land and obtain Dang Hun Mountain. He then destroyed Imperial Court blessed land and caused the collapse of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building!”</p>
<p>“Since he is an otherworldly demon who possesses Spring Autumn Cicada, he has clearly escaped fate… hehehe, this can be the best tool against heaven’s will. Fine, I will conceal the tracks of you and Tai Bai Yun Sheng, to prevent others from deducing matters about you.”</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>Qin Bai Sheng secretly watched the immemorial ruin bat as well as the numerous calamities and tribulations in this area.</p>
<p>This was the time when Dong Fang Chang Fan had undergone possession and was going through tribulation.</p>
<p>“Dong Fang Chang Fan was merely using possession to revive, but his main body’s aura was perceived by heaven’s will, sending such a terrifying disaster. In the future, when our main body tries to revive, the tribulations would likely be worse!”</p>
<p>The Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance immortal zombie nodded beside him: “We can leave, this test against heaven’s will has ended. Why is Chu Rong not back yet?”</p>
<p>At this time, Fairy Jiang Yu appeared with a terrible expression: “Chu Rong is dead, the operation to take back Modest Thatched Hut failed!”</p>
<p>“What happened?” Qin Bai Sheng was mildly shocked: “Chu Rong is a fire path grandmaster with rank seven cultivation level.”</p>
<p>“It is the inheritor of Three Thatch Demon Immortal.” Fairy Jiang Yu said: “This person was deeply concealed, his methods were ruthless, I almost failed to make it back.”</p>
<p>“Three Thatch Demon Immortal… Hmph, forget it, we will give up on Modest Thatched Hut. Before the commencement of our crucial plan, we cannot expose our identities over this Immortal Gu House and cause heaven’s will to attack us in advance.” Qin Bai Sheng thought for a moment and said this.</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>Luo Po valley.</p>
<p>Shadow Sect’s group faced the Central Continent Gu Immortals with grim expressions.</p>
<p>Qin Bai Sheng stared at Feng Jiu Ge, sighing: “Heaven’s will’s attack is already here. In order to protect the pawn Fang Yuan, Yan Shi concealed his traces. Central Continent’s Gu Immortals investigated Fang Yuan and in following their clues, instead found us.”</p>
<p>“What do we do?” Fairy Jiang Yu asked.</p>
<p>“We have no choice but to fight.” Qin Bai Sheng gritted his teeth and said.</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>“Cough, cough, cough…” Old Man Yan Shi coughed continuously, his expression was pale, he was so exhausted that it seemed like he would die from being out of breath.</p>
<p>“I used heavenly secret Gu and consumed a hundred years of lifespan. But it was worth it, I deduced that Spring Autumn Cicada’s condition is bad, it has already been used.”</p>
<p>“Seeing that Fang Yuan went to Yi Tian Mountain in advance, he evidently knows about the battle of Yi Tian Mountain. With this, I can deduce that our main body has already failed once, thus, he had to use that Red Lotus true inheritance to make Fang Yuan rebirth, sending him back to the past to change the future. Heh, thankfully, Spring Autumn Cicada is only rank six, it is nothing scary.”</p>
<p>“In that case, Fang Yuan is the best method of measurement. Looking at his future performance, I can deduce even more things.”</p>
<p>“Would searching his soul directly be easier? Or would it affect the entire situation?”</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>“In accordance to my planning, Bo Qing and Seven Star Child have already slowed down Heavenly Court as much as possible. This result should be a lot better compared to the last time.”</p>
<p>Old Man Yan Shi sat in the pavilion, looking at the mountain and fog change mysteriously.</p>
<p>“On Zombie Alliance’s side, the arrangements are set, we can use them as a backup. It would be best to preserve them, sigh, I hope we do not need to use them.”</p>
<p>“Using the newly obtained lifespan Gu, I have about twenty years left. It is time to die. It is natural for my split soul to return to the main body. But before dying, I should help the main body deduce the tribulations of the following heaven defying plan.”</p>
<p>A moment later.</p>
<p>“Cough, cough, cough, I didn’t die? This means that I have already deduced all of the tribulations? No, it is because every wisdom path advisor of Shadow Sect, from generation after generation, had been deducing all along, we finally accumulated enough foundation to create a qualitative change!”</p>
<p>“Hehehe, this is so ironic. Using heavenly secret Immortal Gu as the core, the wisdom path killer move created can deduce the contents of the tribulations. But this Immortal Gu was created by Paradise Earth. He had tried to get rid of the main body’s influence all his life, to think that after dying, he actually provided us such huge help.”</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>Seeing this, Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals were shocked beyond words.</p>
<p>It turned out that Shadow Sect had already deduced the tribulations! That meant it was very suspicious that Spectral Soul was not moving inside the myriad tribulations.</p>
<p>The mysterious myriad tribulation had gone away, the next myriad tribulation descended.</p>
<p>Vine dragon tribulation!</p>
<p>Countless green vines with sharp thorns shot out from the sky and ground, coiling around Spectral Soul’s body.</p>
<p>Soon, millions of vines surrounded Spectral Soul tightly, forming a huge ball.</p>
<p>They coiled around him relentlessly, becoming tighter and tighter, stabbing into his body and using the Demon Venerable’s soul as their nutrients!</p>
<p>“Something is wrong! Something is wrong!”</p>
<p>“He is doing this on purpose, look at that ten extreme formation!”</p>
<p>Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals shifted their gazes around as they came to realizations.</p>
<p>Because Shadow Sect had deduced the tribulations, they could make arrangements around them.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul purposely did not put up resistance because he wanted to fuse his soul path foundation into this formation, as the nutrients for this formation.</p>
<p>“What is he trying to refine? He actually used his own demonic soul as Gu refinement material!”</p>
<p>“Not just that, with so many myriad tribulations around him, they are actually carving space path, poison path, qi path, and wood path dao marks on his body, to destroy his soul path dao marks. They could harm Spectral Soul because these dao marks were not weaker than the soul path foundation that he had accumulated for the last hundred thousand years!”</p>
<p>Gasp…</p>
<p>Sensing this, Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals drew in deep and chilling breaths.</p>
<p>It seemed that Spectral Soul was not only refining himself, he was even using the power of the myriad tribulations to achieve his goals.</p>
<p>But what was his goal?</p>
<p>The ten extreme formation was at the final juncture. In the dark fog, the ball of light was becoming brighter and rounder.</p>
<p>Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord’s heart sank to rock bottom.</p>
<p>He had a determined expression, he said solemnly: “We cannot go on like this, we have to ruin Spectral Soul’s scheme! No matter what he is refining, we have to destroy this ten extreme formation.”</p>
<p>“But we are in phantom form.”</p>
<p>“No, we have one chance to retaliate. This is something that generation after generation of Heaven Overseeing Tower Lords have created after researching. It has always been kept as a confidential secret!” Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord said.</p>
<p>Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals heard this and were joyful and surprised: “Why don’t you use it?”</p>
<p>Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord smiled bitterly, he told them the price for using it.</p>
<p>Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals fell into deathly silence.</p>

<h1>Chapter 1018</h1>
<p>A moment later, someone stepped up: “Since Shadow Sect can make sacrifices, why can’t we of Heavenly Court do the same? I am willing to stay behind and manipulate Heaven Overseeing Tower!”</p>
<p>“I am willing too.”</p>
<p>“Giving up this body to slay a Demon Venerable, what reason is there not to?”</p>
<p>More and more Gu Immortals stood up.</p>
<p>Of course, there were Heavenly Court Gu Immortals who had other opinions.</p>
<p>“In my opinion, the urgent matter now is to find out what Spectral Soul is trying to refine.”</p>
<p>“The matter is not desperate yet, we should preserve our strength until absolutely necessary.”</p>
<p>“Back then, when Spectral Soul Demon Venerable was still alive, he could not take down Heavenly Court. Now that he is dead, he is weaker than during life, what should Heavenly Court fear?”</p>
<p>Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord waved his hand: “I have decided, those who want to stay will come with me to activate Heaven Overseeing Tower. As for the rest of you, I will send you to white heaven. Regardless of victory or defeat, you have to gather the remains of the Immortal Gu House and return to Heavenly Court.”</p>
<p>After saying this, Heavenly Court’s members came to an agreement.</p>
<p>Heaven Overseeing Tower shot out a bright light towards the sky, before a beam of light descended from the sky, covering the entirety of Heaven Overseeing Tower.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul was startled, he tried to control Heaven Overseeing Tower, preventing it from getting out of its phantom form.</p>
<p>But Heaven Overseeing Tower was not being manipulated to get out of its phantom form, in fact, its final attack required it to stay in phantom form the entire time.</p>
<p>Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord’s voice resounded over the surroundings: “Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, I will show you the newest and most powerful attack of Heaven Overseeing Tower!”</p>
<p>Boom!</p>
<p>With a loud sound, the surrounding scenery had a subtle change.</p>
<p>The myriad tribulation, vine dragon, was coiling around Spectral Soul’s body, but now, under the control of Heaven Overseeing Tower, it changed targets and attacked the ten extreme formation instead.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul’s expression changed.</p>
<p>Heaven Overseeing Tower’s attack was beyond his expectations. Even though he had planned for tens of thousands of years, and deduced it countless times, expending the lives of many generations of wisdom path Gu Immortals. His entire plan had been deduced and refined, deduced and perfected.</p>
<p>But he did not deduce that Heaven Overseeing Tower had a method to manipulate the myriad tribulation directly!</p>
<p>What sort of method was this?</p>
<p>An intense aura burst out, Spectral Soul stopped being motionless, he quickly used his methods to resist the attacks of the countless vines.</p>
<p>He had experienced many myriad tribulations, to complete the mysterious Immortal Gu in the ten extreme formation, his battle strength had already been severely lowered.</p>
<p>But right now, he attacked at full strength, his demonic might was overwhelming, it gave off an unstoppable feeling.</p>
<p>Even though more than half of the soul path dao marks on his body were gone, he was still shining with the light of dao marks, they were bright and numerous like the stars in the sky.</p>
<p>An unimaginable clash!</p>
<p>One side controlled the myriad tribulation to attack, while the other’s soul changed into countless forms to defend against the vines.</p>
<p>Even though he was alone, even though he only had his soul left, Spectral Soul showed incredible capabilities in battle that almost resembled a miracle!</p>
<p>He blocked all of the vine dragons coming his way.</p>
<p>The ten extreme formation was tightly defended by him, nothing could go through.</p>
<p>Heaven Overseeing Tower, still in phantom form, was disassembling.</p>
<p>The speed got faster and faster, the countless mortal Gu and Immortal Gu that formed Heaven Overseeing Tower were facing destruction every minute and second.</p>
<p>In Heaven Overseeing Tower, every few breaths of time, one rank eight Heavenly Court Gu Immortal died, sacrificing themselves.</p>
<p>In order to control the myriad tribulation, Heavenly Court had paid a huge price!</p>
<p>The same went for Spectral Soul.</p>
<p>His main body was already heavily injured, to resist the vine dragon myriad tribulation, his soul was diminishing rapidly, it was as fast as a deflating balloon.</p>
<p>The aura that was all over the place had weakened. His overwhelming demonic might seemed to have turned from a forest fire to a pile of bonfire.</p>
<p>“Spectral Soul, you transgress against heaven, you will die like a dog!” Before dying, Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord shouted his final curse.</p>
<p>Around him, all of the Heavenly Court Gu Immortals were dead.</p>
<p>With a loud bang.</p>
<p>The remaining half of Heaven Overseeing Tower broke apart, turning into countless fragments.</p>
<p>The fragments turned back into mortal Gu and Immortal Gu, following the beam of light, penetrating the heavenly wind qi wall to go deep into white heaven.</p>
<p>The Heavenly Court Gu Immortals who were left behind to guard white heaven rapidly moved and collected the Immortal Gu. Most importantly, they had to retrieve fate Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul’s body had shrunk from thousands of meters to hundreds, until he was only a handful of meters tall.</p>
<p>Not only that, his soul was no longer condensed, it was very translucent, it swayed with the wind, his aura was very weak.</p>
<p>The grand tribulation earth collapse dissipated at this moment.</p>
<p>A bright sword light flashed in the sky, immortal zombie Bo Qing had already flown towards Spectral Soul.</p>
<p>Mo Yao’s remnant soul inside the body screamed: “Spectral Soul! Return my husband to me!!”</p>
<p>Spectral Soul’s gaze was fixed upon the ten extreme formation. The dark fog in the ten extreme formation was gone, all of the ten extreme immortal zombies were sacrificed, only one round ball was left, shining in the light of nine different colors.</p>
<p>Immortal zombie Bo Qing moved closer: “You promised me you will revive him!”</p>
<p>Spectral Soul turned around, gazing at immortal zombie Bo Qing’s face: “The split soul that created Bo Qing was already destroyed in the myriad tribulation. With the split soul lost, how can I revive him?”</p>
<p>“You lied to me?!” Immortal zombie Bo Qing clenched his fists, a dangerous light was shining in his eyes.</p>
<p>“Of course I did not lie to you. I am Bo Qing’s main body, when I revive, Bo Qing will naturally revive as well. When I dominate the world, it would also mean that Bo Qing has attained rank nine cultivation level. Isn’t this what you were hoping for?” Spectral Soul said slowly.</p>
<p>“Old scumbag!” Immortal zombie Bo Qing was furious, he attacked Spectral Soul.</p>
<p>But the sword light had just shone and vanished instantly.</p>
<p>Immortal zombie Bo Qing floated in front of Spectral Soul, unable to move.</p>
<p>“You are my final obstacle? Hehehe, it is a pity. If Yan Shi did not remind me earlier, you might have caused me trouble. But now… hehe. Did you forget that all of your sword path Immortal Gu have my will in them, did you also forget who was the one feeding them over these years?”</p>
<p>Spectral Soul spoke coldly, he paused before continuing: “Now, I will give you one final chance. Kill them, and repent for your act of betrayal.”</p>
<p>‘Them’ naturally meant the Heavenly Court Gu Immortals in white heaven.</p>
<p>Spit.</p>
<p>“Hmph, foolish woman.”</p>
<p>At the next moment, Mo Yao’s remnant soul was pulled out, devoured by Spectral Soul in one mouthful.</p>
<p>After swallowing this remnant soul, Spectral Soul’s body condensed slightly.</p>
<p>“Wu Xie, you will defend me, I only need a little over ten breaths of time to succeed!” Spectral Soul said as he shrunk to the size of a child.</p>
<p>“Yes.” Ying Wu Xie flew up, standing beside Spectral Soul, looking around alertly.</p>
<p>The beam of light that penetrated the heavenly wind qi wall was gone.</p>
<p>“We have no chances left.” Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals sighed, they retrieved the remaining Immortal Gu from Heaven Overseeing Tower as they retreated.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul touched this newly refined Immortal Gu, with his eyes filled with emotions.</p>
<p>“After plotting for tens of thousands of years, after so much planning and painstaking efforts, I finally succeeded in refining this rank nine sovereign immortal fetus Gu. With this Immortal Gu, I can surpass all of the venerables in history, I can obtain the body of an otherworldly demon, reaching an unsurpassed realm that nobody has ever seen! All other Immortal Venerables and Demon Venerables in history will not be my match, even if Ren Zu resurrects, he will be inferior to me! Hahaha…”</p>
<p>Spectral Soul raised his head and laughed.</p>
<p>In his laughter, there was insanity, relief, pride, arrogance, and venting…</p>
<p>Wind blew, as Spectral Soul swayed in the wind.</p>
<p>He almost had used up his full strength, if he did not devour Mo Yao’s remnant soul, he might not even be able to keep his form.</p>
<p>The laughter stopped.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul squinted, having an eerie gaze: “The closer I am towards the end, the more I cannot afford to be careless.”</p>
<p>The remaining soul path dao marks on him were shining brightly.</p>
<p>Using his soul, he could undergo surveillance of a very huge radius.</p>
<p>In white heaven, Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals had withdrawn, although they left behind many investigative Gu worms.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul snickered, the light in his soul shined brightly as he spat out a breath of spectral qi towards the sky.</p>
<p>This spectral qi moved up, penetrating the heavenly wind qi wall and destroying all of the investigative Gu worms left by Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals, not a single one was left.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul quickly looked around.</p>
<p>Soon, he ‘saw’ Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>At this moment, Tai Bai Yun Sheng and Hei Lou Lan were guarding him.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was lying on the ground, his eyelids were trembling, he was about to wake up.</p>
<p>“He is awake, he is almost awake!” Tai Bai Yun Sheng cried out in joy.</p>
<p>Hei Lou Lan frowned deeply, looking into the horizon, she said without turning her head: “Then quickly wake him up! Use Fixed Immortal Travel and leave this bloody place.”</p>
<p>Spectral Soul frowned slightly, but he soon returned to normal.</p>
<p>Right now, they were a gigantic distance apart. The radius of ten thousand li around Yi Tian Mountain was covered by the myriad tribulations, the entire area looked completely different from before. If Fang Yuan used Fixed Immortal Travel, he could only teleport to ten thousand li away from Yi Tian Mountain.</p>
<p>Furthermore, after he wakes up, he might not take a risk and approach the mountain. Even if he takes a risk, there was already enough time for Spectral Soul!</p>
<p>After having been enveloped in grand tribulations and myriad tribulations, this entire area was very ‘clean’ now.</p>
<p>The Gu Immortals who died and the immortal apertures they left behind had all been refined by the ten extreme formation. A small portion were also destroyed by the tribulations. Only life and death blessed land was intentionally preserved.</p>
<p>“There are no problems left. Eh? No.” Spectral Soul turned his gaze towards Ying Wu Xie.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie blinked several times, looking at his main body.</p>
<p>“How much lifespan do you have?” Spectral Soul asked.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie answered: “I have fifteen minutes left.”</p>
<p>“More than enough.” Spectral Soul finally relaxed his mind.</p>
<p>He could no longer sustain his form, his body faded and condensed into a ball made of soul, it was the size of a face, firmly condensed like it was solid, it floated towards the ball-like sovereign immortal fetus Gu.</p>
<p>During this process, Fang Yuan opened his eyes abruptly.</p>
<p>“Heaven’s will!” He screamed, he sat up on the ground with a furious and anxious expression.</p>
<p>“Fang Yuan, you are finally awake.” Tai Bai Yun Sheng and Hei Lou Lan were overjoyed.</p>
<p>Boom!</p>
<p>Fang Yuan attacked, striking at the two who saved his life.</p>
<p>Tai Bai Yun Sheng and Hei Lou Lan were caught unprepared, they were sent flying.</p>
<p>Fixed Immortal Travel!</p>
<p>At the next moment, Fang Yuan used this rank six Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>Guh.</p>
<p>He spat out a mouthful of blood, his body was shaking, the activation of Fixed Immortal Travel failed.</p>
<p>“Damn it! I must make it in time!!” He gritted his teeth as he thought this, activating Fixed Immortal Travel again.</p>
<p>Before Tai Bai Yun Sheng and Hei Lou Lan arrived, he succeeded!</p>
<p>He was ten thousand li away from Yi Tian Mountain.</p>
<p>Seeing the entire battlefield that had changed beyond recognition, he was stunned, his entire body and mind froze.</p>
<p>It was too late!</p>
<p>Like what Spectral Soul had expected, Fang Yuan could not make it in time.</p>
<p>But!</p>
<p>Right when Spectral Soul was about to enter the sovereign immortal fetus Gu, a hand stretched out.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie grabbed Spectral Soul.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul was already almost out of strength, before he could react, he heard Ying Wu Xie say four words.</p>
<p>“Lead soul into dream.”</p>
<p>“Wha…”</p>
<p>At the next moment, Spectral Soul fell into a dream realm.</p>
<p>And Fang Yuan’s soul flew out of Ying Wu Xie’s body!</p>
<p>Next, he rapidly entered the rank nine Immortal Gu in front of him!!</p>

<h1>Chapter 1019</h1>
<p>Let us rewind time back to a while ago.</p>
<p>Heaven Overseeing Tower floated above Spectral Soul’s head in phantom form. But at this moment, a hundred of Spectral Soul’s strong dark arms shrunk immensely, turning dry, thin and long.</p>
<p>Obtaining his help, the ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation underwent a huge change, the scattered dark clouds gathered towards the center.</p>
<p>At the center of the dark clouds, a round ball could be vaguely seen, it spun on its own, shining with light in fourteen different colors.</p>
<p>Seeing this, Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord had an anxious expression, he ordered: “Chop off these arms!”</p>
<p>Heaven Overseeing Tower was like a rocket, it drew an eye piercing rainbow light in the sky as it slashed forward. The rainbow light cut all of Spectral Soul’s arms off upon contact.</p>
<p>“Ying Wu Xie, go and deal with Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals!” Immortal zombie Bo Qing called out.</p>
<p>It was a simple matter for them to deal with Fang Yuan’s side.</p>
<p>But because of a series of events, they were constantly interrupted.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie gritted his teeth, he was unwilling to leave at this moment: “Give me a moment to make Fang Yuan sleep first.”</p>
<p>Saying this, he activated the rank eight immortal killer move — Lead Soul Into Dream.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan could not dodge, he was dragged into the dream realm.</p>
<p>At the pavilion in the center of the lake, the music from the zither could be heard.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan met Star Constellation Immortal Venerable again.</p>
<p>Unravel dream.</p>
<p>Unravel dream.</p>
<p>Unravel dream.</p>
<p>Unravel dream.</p>
<p>Unravel dream.</p>
<p>Unravel dream.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan hurriedly activated his dream path killer move, but the dream realm held firm, all he saw were transparent ripples in his vision.</p>
<p>His unravel dream might work against the dream realm, but it was only rank six. In contrast, Ying Wu Xie’s killer move was rank eight.</p>
<p>The difference between the two was too vast, Fang Yuan could not unravel the dream realm.</p>
<p>At once, Fang Yuan’s heart sank to rock bottom.</p>
<p>The zither music continued, as Star Constellation Immortal Venerable smiled at Fang Yuan gently, she sang with a soft voice.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan smiled bitterly, he knew that he had lost!</p>
<p>Deep in the dream realm, his only method, unravel dream, had failed, Fang Yuan could not turn this around.</p>
<p>But at this time, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable’s singing entered his ears again —</p>
<p>“Fallen songs and despondent heroes, difficulty in resisting the trials of fate.”</p>
<p>“Bent swords sink in the sand, rising and falling from ancient times, the rumbling of an unceasing heavenly river.”</p>
<p>“Alas…”</p>
<p>“Spectral night carries a soul into endless dreams, where can one rest in peace?”</p>
<p>“During spring and autumn body and mind shifts, only heaven’s will remains vast and boundless.”</p>
<p>Along with it, a wave of information once again entered Fang Yuan’s mind.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan, who was deep inside the dream realm, suddenly jolted!</p>
<p>“During spring and autumn body and mind shifts, only heaven’s will remains vast and boundless!” At this moment, he finally understood the meaning of this final line.</p>
<p>As it turned out, the mysterious rank seven Immortal Gu that he had obtained from Bo Qing’s immortal zombie body was change soul Immortal Gu!</p>
<p>Back then, Mo Yao had activated this change soul Immortal Gu at the critical moment because she was afraid that her lover, Bo Qing, would fail his tribulation. Their souls swapped and she saved Bo Qing, deceiving the entire world in the process.</p>
<p>Bo Qing also wanted to make use of Mo Yao to pass his tribulation, but he was afraid that the myriad tribulation might affect his mind, thus, he gave this Immortal Gu to Mo Yao, rather than lending it to her.</p>
<p>Therefore, change soul Immortal Gu was refined by Mo Yao, it was filled with her will.</p>
<p>Thereafter, Fang Yuan used the light of wisdom and Mo Yao’s fake will to create a Gu formation, containing these Immortal Gu that he deceived while slowly refining them.</p>
<p>Because of the relationship with Mo Yao’s will, change soul Immortal Gu was the first to be refined by Fang Yuan. As for the other sword path Immortal Gu, they were filled with Bo Qing’s will, thus, they had slower progress, they could not be refined before the battle of Yi Tian Mountain, they were still inside Hu Immortal blessed land.</p>
<p>According to the hint of the final line, it was not possible to use unravel dream to escape anymore. He had to use change soul Immortal Gu, to swap his soul with Ying Wu Xie’s!</p>
<p>Of course, it was not that simple.</p>
<p>The information in Fang Yuan’s mind also included an immortal killer move. This immortal killer move not only used the rank seven change soul Immortal Gu as a core, it even included attitude Gu, unravel mystery Immortal Gu, and also a lot of dream path and soul path mortal Gu.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan hesitated slightly, before deciding to follow it!</p>
<p>According to his previous experiences, Fang Yuan knew that the information was highly reliable.</p>
<p>Most importantly, he had no other choice.</p>
<p>At this moment, Fang Yuan was at his wits’ end, the enemy was Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, purely with his foundation and ability, he could do nothing to the other party.</p>
<p>Only by following the instructions could he obtain any hope of victory.</p>
<p>Thus, he activated the immortal killer move.</p>
<p>He succeeded!</p>
<p>The souls of Fang Yuan and Ying Wu Xie were secretly swapped.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s soul was originally hit by lead soul into dream and was deep in a dream realm.</p>
<p>After switching souls, he covertly entered Ying Wu Xie’s Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique body, while Ying Wu Xie’s soul went into Fang Yuan’s immortal zombie body, but he was inside the dream realm in Fang Yuan’s place.</p>
<p>After switching their souls, Fang Yuan couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment.</p>
<p>But after seeing ‘himself’, he thought quickly, he placed his hands at his waist, laughing smugly: “Hahaha, this time, why don’t you try and escape?!”</p>
<p>“Fang Yuan!” Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng shouted.</p>
<p>But ‘Fang Yuan’ was deep in sleep, he could not be woken up.</p>
<p>At this moment, immortal zombie Bo Qing raised his hand, preparing to attack Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s heart jumped.</p>
<p>He had set an alliance agreement with Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng, if he left them in the lurch, he might face a backlash from the alliance agreement. But if he saved them, he might attract suspicion, his identity might be exposed.</p>
<p>But soon, Fang Yuan realized.</p>
<p>“I am overthinking it! I have left all my Immortal Gu in my original body, I have no way to stop Bo Qing, even if Ying Wu Xie has many Immortal Gu, lead soul into dream is an immortal killer move, how can I learn to use it so quickly?”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan could only watch.</p>
<p>But an unexpected surprise quickly occurred!</p>
<p>There was a huge suction force from the ground.</p>
<p>The immortals were caught off guard, they were all sucked into the ground, their legs were deeply buried in the ground, a strong force was restricting them, preventing them from moving.</p>
<p>Grand tribulation — Earth Collapse!</p>
<p>Bo Qing and ‘Ying Wu Xie’ were shocked, they did not expect that while the myriad tribulation was dealing with Spectral Soul, there was actually a grand tribulation waiting to ambush them.</p>
<p>What was even more shocking was that Hei Lou Lan, Tai Bai Yun Sheng, and ‘Fang Yuan’ were unaffected by the grand tribulation.</p>
<p>After landing on the ground, Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng regained their freedom, they could move freely.</p>
<p>Furthermore, at this moment, the ten extreme formation had created already the mysterious ball, the force that restricted the space around them vanished.</p>
<p>Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng brought ‘Fang Yuan’ and rapidly retreated, escaping for their lives.</p>
<p>Immortal zombie Bo Qing’s eyes shined with deep killing intent, but he could only watch as they escaped.</p>
<p>Soon, Hei Lou Lan, Tai Bai Yun Sheng, and ‘Fang Yuan’ escaped far away, vanishing from Bo Qing’s field of vision.</p>
<p>“Hmph, Fang Yuan can escape for now, but can he escape for his entire life? As an otherworldly demon, you are the best tool to use against heaven’s will, how can we let you go so easily? As for Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng, even though they are not otherworldly demons, they were affected by him and became fate escapees. Even if we do not deal with them, Heavenly Court would eliminate them eventually.” Bo Qing snorted coldly.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan heard this and quickly thought: “It seems that an otherworldly demon is very useful to Shadow Sect. No wonder Ying Wu Xie only wanted to capture me and not kill me. Strange! That grand tribulation, earth collapse, why did it not affect Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng? Heaven’s will… forget it, the most important matter at hand is to familiarize myself with the dream path Gu worms I have. If I have to attack later and I fail to use lead soul into dream, wouldn’t I get exposed?”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan took a peek and was shocked to find that he had more than just dream path Immortal Gu! There was also change soul Immortal Gu, attitude Gu, unravel mystery Immortal Gu, and other mortal Gu, they had all been brought over through his soul.</p>
<p>And this mysterious immortal killer move had another use, it allowed Fang Yuan to use Ying Wu Xie’s Gu worms.</p>
<p>“It seems that attitude Gu had an important use. It allowed me to disguise myself and deceive Ying Wu Xie’s will that is inside these dream path Immortal Gu and mortal Gu. It is like earlier, when I used Mo Yao’s fake will to coax Immortal Gu out of Bo Qing’s immortal zombie body.”</p>
<p>Thinking of this, Fang Yuan glanced at immortal zombie Bo Qing again.</p>
<p>If the other party knew that Ying Wu Xie was already someone else, moreover, he was now the culprit who harmed Bo Qing and took out most of his sword path Immortal Gu, immortal zombie Bo Qing might behead Fang Yuan immediately without saying anything else!</p>
<p>The situation was still very dangerous.</p>
<p>Even though they swapped souls and Fang Yuan had escaped from the dream realm, he was currently more fragile than he ever was.</p>
<p>If he was found out, there would be no hope.</p>
<p>It was as if he was walking on a tightrope above a valley, if he was careless, he would fall and die with a mangled corpse.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan gathered his concentration, he immediately moved his limbs, struggling intensely.</p>
<p>The result was, his body sank deeper and deeper.</p>
<p>He shouted, acting like he was furious.</p>
<p>But internally, he felt extremely glad: “This grand tribulation came at a great time. I am stuck in here and cannot escape, I cannot even generate thoughts, thus I cannot attack. If I cannot attack, I will not be exposed. This gives me the opportunity to familiarize myself with these unknown Gu worms!”</p>
<p>“Stop struggling, stop thinking. It will make our situation worse, we cannot deal with this at the moment.” Immortal zombie Bo Qing, who was beside him, quickly attempted to console him in a calm tone.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan observed and noticed that Bo Qing was not suspicious, he finally felt slightly relieved.</p>
<p>He sighed, looking at Spectral Soul: “We can only hope that our main body saves us.”</p>
<p>But Spectral Soul was also deeply trapped, after the first myriad tribulation, wind lightning prison, the second myriad tribulation, grey memory, descended.</p>
<p>The grey fog descended at a very slow speed. It was so slow that anyone who was undergoing the tribulation could retaliate in many ways.</p>
<p>But Spectral Soul did not move.</p>
<p>He stood quietly, like a solemn mountain.</p>
<p>“Did our main body get hit already?” Fang Yuan shouted, looking extremely anxious: “This is such a good chance, you have to retaliate!!”</p>
<p>In his mind, he was thinking about other things, Spectral Soul was restricted now, he was glad to see this. But on the other hand, he was within the range of the myriad tribulation grey memory, he felt some unease.</p>
<p>The grand tribulation was already unstoppable, if the myriad tribulation descended, how would he survive?</p>

<h1>Chapter 102</h1>
<p>Fang Yuan arrived at the internal affairs hall and turned in the golden honey wine.</p>
<p>The middle-aged male Gu Master in charge was very surprised. While holding his pen, he asked, “You completed the asset mission already?”</p>
<p>“What do you think?” Fang Yuan retorted.</p>
<p>The middle-aged male Gu Master frowned, this was the mission he chose specifically to make life difficult for Fang Yuan. To think he completed it so quickly!</p>
<p>He looked at Fang Yuan, his eyes threatening, saying solemnly, “Young man, answer whatever I ask you. If you do not reply honestly, it will affect your evaluation. Let me ask you, did you complete this mission alone? Say the truth, we will investigate thoroughly.”</p>
<p>“Of course I finished it myself.” Fang Yuan replied.</p>
<p>“Good, I will note that down.” The middle-aged Gu Master recorded while laughing internally, you’re just a newbie, how could you complete it alone? Such a falseful report, the clan would definitely investigate. You will have trouble then.</p>
<p>But unexpectedly Fang Yuan continued, “But this situation is slightly peculiar. That day I only went to scout out the area, but to think the bear was digging the beehive. Using that chance, I retrieved this honey wine.”</p>
<p>“What?” The middle-aged man’s pen stopped, raising his head to look at Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan shrugged, smiling, “What, did you think I could accomplish this mission alone? To say the truth, this is all thanks to you, finding this mission for me.”</p>
<p>The middle-aged Gu Master was stunned on the spot, a complex and unexplainable feeling in his heart as he laughed dryly and continued to record in the book.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan stared at this man calmly, knowing full well that his extremely difficult asset mission was all ‘thanks’ to this man. Unfortunately, he had already completed the mission; even if the clan investigates, Fang Yuan had the appropriate set up already. He could stall Fang Yuan no longer.</p>
<p>Even if this matter was handled by him.</p>
<p>This is the grief of being in the system. Your status is the chain that restricts your actions.</p>
<p>“Alright, your mission is complete, you can inherit the family asset already. Except, your asset is all controlled by your uncle and aunt. The internal affairs hall will retrieve it for you, come back in three days.” After recording, the middle-aged man said.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan nodded, he knew this rule, but he stared at the middle-aged man’s record paper, saying, “According to the clan rules, the internal affairs mission record needs to be confirmed by the accomplisher on the spot. Please let me see this record.”</p>
<p>The middle-aged man’s expression changed, he did not expect Fang Yuan to be so familiar with the process. He snorted lightly while handling the report to Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan looked at the record without any problems. A few hundred words with the final evaluation — Good.</p>
<p>He could immediately see the relationship between Gu Yue Dong Tu and this Gu Master.</p>
<p>This evaluation was definitely fair, showing that the middle-aged Gu Master did not give up on his work ethics just because of Gu Yue Dong Tu; the reason he helped Dong Tu was only because of their friendship and the transaction between them.</p>
<p>It was the ‘taking money to settle problems for others’ type of transaction.</p>
<p>Giving the report back to the middle-aged Gu Master, Fang Yuan left the internal affairs hall.</p>
<p>Outside, Gu Yue Dong Tu was already gone.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan could not help but laugh coldly. Gu Yue Dong Tu’s influence was not big enough to affect the internal affairs hall. Even if Gu Yue Bo the clan leader wanted to do this, he would have to go against the immense pressure from the clan elder circle and pay a huge price in his political career.</p>
<p>There was a phrase on earth, called ‘those who live in the society has to follow its rules.’</p>
<p>There were rules in the society, and that is a form of system. Those who follow the rules, being anyone’s pawn piece, restrict each other, and it is not up to them to control.</p>
<p>Unless an individual’s strength has reached the point where it can oppose the entire organisation, otherwise, joining an organisation and wanting to retain freedom was a pointless dream!</p>
<p>Borrowing the power of the clan system, Fang Yuan had already affirmed the truth of getting back his assets.</p>
<p>Regardless of Gu Yue Dong Tu or the clan leader, they will not pay the political price for interfering with such a small matter.</p>
<p>In the guest hall.</p>
<p>“Brother Dong Tu, there is nothing I can do anymore.” The middle-aged Gu Master sighed, standing in front of Gu Yue Dong Tu.</p>
<p>Gu Yue Dong Tu’s face was grim as he remained silent on his seat.</p>
<p>“Are there really no more methods?” Beside him, Aunt fearfully asked in an anxious and indignant tone.</p>
<p>The middle-aged man shook his head, “The results are set in stone and have entered the internal affairs hall’s procedure. Unless the two clan elders in power or the clan leader interferes. Brother Dong Tu, this internal affairs hall’s inventory list states clearly the inheritance items and amount, please return them all and don’t make my life difficult.” Saying so, he took out the inventory list.</p>
<p>The inventory had a ton of records, from expensive items like estates to cheap tables or chairs, other than that there were also the Gu worms that Fang Yuan’s parents had left behind.</p>
<p>After a Gu Master dies of battle, their Gu worms would be retrieved as an inheritance for their successor. This was a political move by the clan.</p>
<p>Aunt took a look at the list, before losing her composure, “Damn it, you cannot do this! This is all ours, OURS! Hubby, say something, think of something. Without these assets, what do we have left? Even our servants will be gone by half, we cannot afford it! ”</p>
<p>Slap!</p>
<p>Gu Yue Dong Tu stood up and sent his palm flying towards Aunt, sending her to the ground from her seat.</p>
<p>“Noisy bitch!” Uncle flew into a rage, scolding in an agitated tone, “Frog in the well, the clan rules are there, you think you can choose not to return them? Dumb, ignorant!” Aunt used her hand to cover her cheeks, beaten into stupidity, lying on the ground in shock, staring at her husband blankly.</p>
<p>“Hmph!” Gu Yue Dong Tu grabbed the inventory list, gritting his teeth, scanning through.</p>
<p>His eyes were filled with blood traces as he breathed heavily, saying with hatred, “Return! All these things… I will return… NOT A THING LESS!!! But…”</p>
<p>His veins popped from his forehead, the muscles on his face twitching, his expression full of ruthlessness, “But Fang Yuan, I cannot stop the internal affairs hall, yet I can deal with you. Don’t think everything is well and alive now that you have these assets, hmph!”</p>
<p>Three days later, Fang Yuan walked out from the internal affairs hall with a stack of house and land deeds and sold human contracts in his hands.</p>
<p>“To think this inheritance is so abundant.” He was slightly stunned.</p>
<p>Even though Fang Yuan had some estimations, after receiving this asset list, it was way out of his expectations.</p>
<p>Over ten mu of farmland, eight family servants and three bamboo buildings, and a wine tavern!</p>
<p>“No wonder uncle was so insistent, thinking of all ways to stop me.” Fang Yuan could understand Gu Yue Dong Tu’s actions.</p>
<p>With such a large family asset, even in this world, one could live like a king.</p>
<p>Ten mu of farmland, eight family servants, put this aside first. Those three bamboo buildings were property assets — even if they were only rented out, every month, the rental amount was enough to support Fang Yuan’s current cultivation.</p>
<p>Other than that there is also a wine tavern. Note that there is only four wine-selling areas in the entire village.</p>
<p>Such an asset, if on earth, would be equivalent to having several mansions and a hotel, it is an aristocrat life with multiple servants.</p>
<p>What’s worth mentioning is, this world’s living conditions was way more ruthless and difficult, thus the village being the safest location, priced the property assets even more expensively than on earth.</p>
<p>“It is said that my Fang family, three generations ago, had a clan elder who held power and left much inheritance for his future generations. With these family assets, the seven Gu worms aside, even if that number doubled I can still afford them! But the crucial point isn’t this. It is this grass Gu!”</p>
<p>At this point, there was a grass Gu lying quietly in Fang Yuan’s palm.</p>
<p>It was dainty and delicate, the emerald green roots resembling a ginseng’s beard. There were some semi-transparent stolon that was like jadeite. Nine pieces of round-shaped leaves that were jade green covered and reflected each other, forming the shape of a round plate.</p>
<p>This was the Nine Leaf Vitality Grass, the healing-type Rank two Gu worm.</p>
<p>If it came to normal healing, it had no difference from the Life breath grass.</p>
<p>The true value of the Nine Leaf Vitality Grass lay in its leaves – Every one of the leaves torn from it was a vitality leaf.</p>
<p>Vitality leaf is also a type of grass Gu. At rank one, it is an expendable type, disappearing after one use.</p>
<p>It had another flaw, and that was when a piece of vitality leaf is used to heal injuries, within the next hour, other vitality leaves had no more healing effect on the person.</p>
<p>But, all in all, it was easy to refine, and instantaneous healing together with the easy feeding of it made it the most popular healing technique among Rank two Gu Masters.</p>
<p>Healing Gu Master, every group needed one. But in times where multiple Gu Masters were injured, what can a single Gu Master do? If the healing Gu Master was the one who died, or got lost, what happens to the rest?</p>
<p>Thus, Gu Masters always prepared some healing methods for themselves, and the vitality leaf was the best method. Every Gu Master that roamed outside needed to prepare at least one or two.</p>
<p>“After I refine the Nine Leaf Vitality Grass, every piece of leaf torn out would be a vitality leaf. Using the primeval essence to inject into the grass, I can make it grow new leaves. Thus, this Nine Leaf Vitality Grass can be said to be a moving goldmine. The most important asset of all… without exception. Having this Nine Leaf Vitality Grass is an avenue of business. In this dangerous world, which Gu Master does not get injured on their missions? They have a perpetual need for the vitality leaf.”</p>
<p>“No wonder Gu Yue Dong Tu was known as the ‘hidden elder’ even after he retired many years ago; he still held great influence outside. So the reason was this Nine Leaf Vitality Grass.”</p>
<p>Gu Masters needed the vitality leaf, and Gu Yue Dong Tu sold the leaf. With such a relationship, it is no question that his influence remained.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was enlightened.</p>
<p>“Only in this world are clan relationships raised to such a level, restraining Uncle and Aunt. If this was earth, with such a conflict of interest, Fang Zheng and I would already have had been killed by them. This is not good, it seems I have some trouble ahead, Uncle and Aunt will not let go so easily.”</p>
<p>“But I have already grown up with Rank two cultivation. If they want to deal with me and also consider the clan regulations, they would be highly restricted. Hmph, regardless of what they do, just show me what you’ve got. Dealing with it as it comes, I will handle them all.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan walked on the street, his eyes glimmering in brilliance.</p>
<p>A gust of winter wind blew on his face.</p>
<p>It was still far from spring, but Fang Yuan knew that ‘spring’ (start of his new life) had already come.</p>

<h1>Chapter 1020</h1>
<p>“The myriad tribulation is coming!” Fang Yuan gritted his teeth, looking at the grey cloud of fog descending slowly.</p>
<p>Immortal zombie Bo Qing squinted, his muscles were tense.</p>
<p>The grey cloud descended, but it caused no harm.</p>
<p>“What is going on? Is this a harmless myriad tribulation?!” Fang Yuan was nervous, seeing that there was no commotion, he touched all over his body as he cried out in suspicion.</p>
<p>Bo Qing did not answer him.</p>
<p>Someone in Heavenly Court quickly recognized this myriad tribulation, grey memory. But Fang Yuan and Mo Yao’s remnant soul did not know it.</p>
<p>However, soon, Fang Yuan and Mo Yao’s remnant soul obtained some understanding of their own.</p>
<p>Because after Spectral Soul was shrouded in the grey fog, his memories started to appear in images before them.</p>
<p>His experiences during childhood, in his youth, during adulthood… all of these experiences were a form of interrogation and torture in regards to Spectral Soul’s heart, he made countless choices that decided his future fate.</p>
<p>And at the same time, Tai Bai Yun Sheng carried Fang Yuan as he escaped at full speed.</p>
<p>Hei Lou Lan took a final look at the grey fog in the sky before following after them.</p>
<p>Inside Fang Yuan’s body, Ying Wu Xie was trapped in the dream realm, he was facing Star Constellation Immortal Venerable.</p>
<p>He gritted his teeth, shouting maniacally, pouncing towards Star Constellation Immortal Venerable.</p>
<p>However, he did not hit her.</p>
<p>This was a dream realm, distance was not what it seemed.</p>
<p>He might seem to be close to Star Constellation Immortal Venerable, but no matter how many steps he moved forward, his distance with Star Constellation Immortal Venerable did not change.</p>
<p>Star Constellation Immortal Venerable played the zither but did not sing, the music was beautiful, like the sound of a clear mountain spring.</p>
<p>Compared to Ying Wu Xie’s agitated behavior, it formed a stark contrast.</p>
<p>“Quickly let me out, quickly let me out. Heaven’s will! You accursed heaven’s will!” He pointed at Star Constellation Immortal Venerable as he shouted.</p>
<p>But Star Constellation Immortal Venerable was unmoved, she showed neither joy nor rage.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie blinked, he forced himself to calm down, muttering: “Don’t be anxious, I need to stay calm, stay calm. I know everything about lead soul into dream, this dream realm has not manifested externally, it will fade away soon, it cannot contain me forever. Also, the Gu Immortals on Fang Yuan’s side will save me. Once I wake up, I will return and expose Fang Yuan’s identity! Now, I can only hope that Yi Tian Mountain isn’t far away after I wake up!”</p>
<p>But Ying Wu Xie’s wish was not going to be fulfilled.</p>
<p>Because next, Tai Bai Yun Sheng and Hei Lou Lan met with some Southern Border Gu Immortals, both sides fought while moving.</p>
<p>Not only did Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng not have the time to wake up Ying Wu Xie, they even got farther and farther away from Yi Tian Mountain.</p>
<p>‘Ying Wu Xie’ and Bo Qing were all immobilized in the ground because of earth collapse.</p>
<p>Waves of grey fog coiled around immortal zombie Bo Qing as they shined with bright lights, showing constantly changing scenes.</p>
<p>These were Mo Yao’s memories, as a variant human, she had suffered a fate of being ostracized.</p>
<p>“Hmph.” Immortal zombie Bo Qing snickered.</p>
<p>Facing these sad traumas in her life, Mo Yao’s remnant soul showed her strong-willed personality.</p>
<p>“Strange, why are you unaffected by the grey fog?” Bo Qing looked at Ying Wu Xie, who was beside him.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was thinking: “I want to know the answer to this question as well!”</p>
<p>According to logic, grey memory affected Spectral Soul and Mo Yao’s remnant soul, there was no reason for Fang Yuan to be unaffected.</p>
<p>But for some reason, nothing happened to Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Evidently, this myriad tribulation, grey memory, let Fang Yuan off, he did not get exposed because of it.</p>
<p>“Don’t tell me this is the manipulation of heaven’s will? Earlier, heaven’s will let Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng be unaffected by the tribulation, did it want them to bring my body and get far away from this place?”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had many guesses, but behind these guesses, there was a cold sensation when Fang Yuan thought about them, he felt his hair standing, there were a lot of terrifying implications behind his thoughts.</p>
<p>But right now, facing immortal zombie Bo Qing’s suspicion, Fang Yuan could only pretend to be ignorant.</p>
<p>“I don’t know.” Fang Yuan shook his head, he pointed: “Yours is pretty interesting.”</p>
<p>Bo Qing snorted: “It seems that because you were just born, and only have eighteen hours to live, you had no time to experience these things.”</p>
<p>Mo Yao’s remnant soul inside immortal zombie Bo Qing did not suspect Fang Yuan, her attention was mostly on Spectral Soul.</p>
<p>Regarding Spectral Soul’s main body, Mo Yao’s remnant soul was quite worried.</p>
<p>But next, the grey fog showed that Spectral Soul Demon Venerable had obtained the food path true inheritance of the beastman Gu Immortal back during his time.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul Demon Venerable’s nature made Fang Yuan quite shocked.</p>
<p>Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals were in a commotion, but because they were in phantom form, they could not do anything.</p>
<p>At this time, in the sky, the third myriad tribulation descended — Grand Clear Space!</p>
<p>Countless green birds slashed at Spectral Soul, the power was terrifying, the expressions of Fang Yuan and Mo Yao changed.</p>
<p>Next, Fang Yuan saw many scenes in the grey fog.</p>
<p>Sacred Feather City, Thieving Heaven true inheritance, Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, the red lotus in the River of Time…</p>
<p>“So it turned out that Spectral Soul Demon Venerable knew about Sacred Feather City’s location during his lifetime.”</p>
<p>“Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable’s name was Ben Jie Sun, but even though he was an otherworldly demon like me, he was not from Earth!”</p>
<p>“Lifespan Gu… it seems that heaven’s will is the greatest restriction of Immortal Venerables and Demon Venerables.”</p>
<p>“Red lotus! Ghost face! When I failed my rebirth last time, it was actually Spectral Soul Demon Venerable who helped me! I understand now, in my previous life, the Great Strength True Martial immortal zombie was killed, and the ten extreme formation could not be completed, Spectral Soul made use of me to start all over again!”</p>
<p>“What, &lt;&lt;The Legends of Ren Zu&gt;&gt; is Ren Zu’s true inheritance?”</p>
<p>Next, Fang Yuan saw Spectral Soul using the method of soul devouring, but still failed when dealing with the golden soul. He saw seven out of the ten split soul returning to the world of the living.</p>
<p>Next, combined with the portion of grey memory affecting Mo Yao’s remnant soul, he understood the origin of wisdom sword Immortal Gu, as well as the complex relationship between Bo Qing and Mo Yao.</p>
<p>“That soul which is sleeping while emitting golden radiance is Verdant Great Sun? The one born from Ren Zu’s right eye in the legend?”</p>
<p>“Bo Qing is Azure! That Purple is actually Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s master, Purple Mountain True Monarch, whom I randomly named?!”</p>
<p>“So the truth behind Mo Yao and Bo Qing was like this.”</p>
<p>“Heaven’s will! So all of those superb immortal materials are filled with heaven’s will, Shadow Sect is wary of them and had to give them up. After obtaining them, they seemed harmless to me. But what about in the future? If I carry these immortal materials around, will I draw the attention of heaven’s will?”</p>
<p>“So that’s it. A wisdom path Gu Immortal of Shadow Sect, Da Li, was the rank eight Great Strength True Martial immortal zombie that was suppressed! Everything makes sense now.”</p>
<p>At this time, the myriad tribulation grand clear space dissipated, while the myriad tribulation dark oil poison descended, attacking Spectral Soul.</p>
<p>The following scenes made Fang Yuan even more shocked!</p>
<p>He finally understood that the secret of him having Spring Autumn Cicada had been known by Shadow Sect since long ago.</p>
<p>Because of Shadow Sect’s help, he was not exposed for so long after the collapse of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.</p>
<p>In contrast, Shadow Sect’s Qin Bai Sheng and others helped him deal with the problem, engaging in a battle with Feng Jiu Ge.</p>
<p>Shadow Sect’s strength was incredible, they managed to deduce the tribulations.</p>
<p>“The secret of rebirth, the fact that I own Spring Autumn Cicada, after this battle, the entire world knows!”</p>
<p>“Shadow Sect, Spectral Soul, they seem to want to use my otherworldly demon status, but because of a twist of fate, Shadow Sect’s Northern Plains branch was almost completely wiped out. No, in a way, isn’t this showing the power of heaven’s will?”</p>
<p>“Shadow Sect could deduce all the tribulations, what method did they use? This is simply the ultimate weapon against tribulations!”</p>
<p>“Spectral Soul Demon Venerable… he is likely the strongest venerable. During his life, he might have been equal to the other venerables, but using the food path true inheritance, he created the soul devouring method. He could steal the cultivation memories and experiences of others. Thus, he could not raise his attainment level directly like with dream realms, but after so many years of accumulation and development, his attainment level in all other paths, including formation path and wisdom path, are definitely at least great grandmaster! It is not strange that he deduced the tribulations.”</p>
<p>“In this case, it is too strange that he is not reacting. Could it be that he is doing this on purpose?”</p>
<p>Dark oil poison and grey memory faded, but the vine dragon tribulation descended soon after.</p>
<p>Heaven Overseeing Tower began its final struggle, it manipulated the myriad tribulation and directly attacked the ten extreme formation.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul’s fight to defend it made Fang Yuan, who witnessed everything, tongue-tied. He had once been proud of his battle tactics that were refined over time, but compared to Spectral Soul, it was nothing.</p>
<p>Eventually, Heaven Overseeing Tower broke apart, Heavenly Court failed, even Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord was sacrificed.</p>
<p>Both sides suffered great losses!</p>
<p>Spectral Soul’s body was only a handful of meters tall. He was no longer as condensed as previously, his aura was very weak.</p>
<p>Mo Yao’s remnant soul manipulated the immortal zombie body, flying into the sky and questioning Spectral Soul, but she was wiped out.</p>
<p>“You are my final obstacle? Hehehe, it is a pity. If Yan Shi did not remind me earlier, you might have caused me trouble. But now… hehe. Did you forget that all of your sword path Immortal Gu have my will in them, did you also forget who was the one feeding them over these years?”</p>
<p>Spectral Soul’s words made Fang Yuan’s heart jump.</p>
<p>During this period of time, he had already deciphered many details regarding the immortal killer move lead soul into dream.</p>
<p>This was thanks to the fact that Ying Wu Xie only had Gu worms that were meant to use lead soul into dream.</p>
<p>Even though Shadow Sect designed this killer move for him, according to his cultivation level, there were several versions. But Ying Wu Xie had distinctly classified them, he placed a pile for each of their respective Gu worms.</p>
<p>This allowed him to use the killer move much more efficiently and easily. But at the same time, Fang Yuan could learn about them more easily.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan understood: “Facing Spectral Soul’s main body, I only have one chance to strike. If I fail once, Spectral Soul will react and I will have no opportunity left!”</p>
<p>Spectral Soul swallowed Mo Yao’s remnant soul, saying to Fang Yuan: “Wu Xie, defend me. I just need a little over ten breaths of time to succeed!”</p>
<p>“Yes.” Fang Yuan had a calm mind, he flew up, standing beside Spectral Soul, looking around alertly.</p>
<p>“We have no chances left.” Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals sighed as they retreated.</p>
<p>“After plotting for tens of thousands of years, after so much planning and painstaking efforts, I finally succeeded in refining this rank nine sovereign immortal fetus Gu. With this Immortal Gu, I can surpass all of the venerables in history, I can obtain the body of an otherworldly demon, reaching an unsurpassed realm that nobody has ever seen! All other Immortal Venerables and Demon Venerables in history will not be my match, even if Ren Zu resurrects, he will be inferior to me! Hahaha…”</p>
<p>Spectral Soul raised his head and laughed.</p>
<p>“Sovereign immortal fetus Gu?” Fang Yuan’s heart was moved: “What use does this Gu have, it can allow Spectral Soul to reach a realm where nobody has never gotten to before? Is this realm immortality?”</p>
<p>“The closer I am towards the end, the more I cannot afford to be careless.” Spectral Soul squinted, investigating carefully.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s heart nearly skipped a beat.</p>
<p>But in the end, Spectral Soul only spit out some spectral qi and destroyed all of the investigative Gu worms.</p>
<p>“As expected. The final line of the song indicated the true use of ghostly concealment, it is to prevent the detection of ghosts and souls. Back then, Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable could take Luo Po valley, Dang Hun Mountain, and travel through the Obsession Death Domain without being restricted by endless souls, it was because of this move!”</p>
<p>“Thus, Spectral Soul did not suspect me. It seems that Ying Wu Xie’s soul is also his split soul. Only towards himself could he be so trusting without reservations.”</p>
<p>Next, Fang Yuan witnessed Spectral Soul floating towards the sovereign immortal fetus Gu.</p>
<p>At the crucial moment, Fang Yuan calmed down, he was no longer nervous.</p>
<p>According to the song, he had to destroy this sovereign immortal fetus Gu. Because Immortal Gu were fragile, he just needed to squeeze it to destroy it. But Spectral Soul, no matter how weak he was, there was an unknown level of risk to deal with him.</p>
<p>But Fang Yuan was firm and determined, he directly targeted Spectral Soul, snatching sovereign immortal fetus Gu!</p>
<p>“Lead soul into dream.” He struck.</p>
<p>He had not comprehended it entirely, this was not a complete immortal killer move, it was inferior to the original rank eight version.</p>
<p>But right now, Spectral Soul was already weak to his limits.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan succeeded in one attempt!</p>
<p>Next, he left Ying Wu Xie’s body, doing the same thing as Spectral Soul, his soul floated towards sovereign immortal fetus Gu.</p>
<p>At this moment, he had finally broken free from Star Constellation Immortal Venerable’s instructions, he took the fruits of Spectral Soul’s labor, the achievement he had spent countless years and paid an immeasurable price to painstakingly create!</p>

<h1>Chapter 1021</h1>
<p>Fang Yuan’s soul left the Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique body, he flew towards this mysterious rank nine Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>The moment they interacted, Fang Yuan felt an immeasurable suction force.</p>
<p>This Immortal Gu, named sovereign immortal fetus Gu by Spectral Soul, seemed to be eager for a soul already.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s soul entered it, it was as if he had fallen into the whirlpools of Falling Heavenly River!</p>
<p>At once, his soul was sucked in by the Immortal Gu, he was blending into it at an unbelievable speed!</p>
<p>Fang Yuan could not think, he felt that he was inside darkness that was unfathomably deep.</p>
<p>This darkness was not cold, it was warm.</p>
<p>It was like he had gone back into his mother’s womb, he was like a fetus inside amniotic fluid.</p>
<p>And outside.</p>
<p>After Fang Yuan’s soul entered the rank nine Immortal Gu, the sky rumbled loudly, it seemed furious, but helpless at the same time.</p>
<p>Sovereign immortal fetus Gu began to shine brightly.</p>
<p>First, there was white light, from pale transparent light to pure white light, and finally to thick milky white light.</p>
<p>Next, there was a hint of red inside the white light. The red quickly spread, turning the light into pale pink, before it turned pinkish red, and finally, bright red like fire.</p>
<p>After red light, it turned into orange. After orange, it turned into yellow…</p>
<p>Like the colors of the rainbow, it continued changing, until finally, the light became black.</p>
<p>Inside the black colored light, sovereign immortal fetus Gu twitched continuously, from the size of a thumb, it expanded to the size of a basin.</p>
<p>Inside this dark ball, a fetus was shining brightly in rainbow light, it could vaguely be seen.</p>
<p>Life force was gathering, it was growing and becoming stronger.</p>
<p>White fog started to surround it.</p>
<p>The temperature of the surroundings fell rapidly, fog turned into frost, covering the surface of the ball.</p>
<p>Next, lightning shot out, surrounding the ball, forming a web of lightning.</p>
<p>Lightning crackled as sparks were created. The sparks fell on the frost and did not extinguish, instead, the frost started burning.</p>
<p>The frost turned into qi that surrounded the ball.</p>
<p>Green patterns slowly appeared on the surface of the ball. Soon, they turned from phantom to solid, becoming countless vines and twigs.</p>
<p>The twigs were wilted, while the leaves were green and lively.</p>
<p>Soon, fruits began to grow around these leaves.</p>
<p>These purple fruits emitted a fragrant smell. But the surface of the fruits were very ugly, there were many holes in them, like they were rotten.</p>
<p>Many changes occurred, they were unimaginable. On the surface, they looked random and abrupt, but if one observed carefully, they seemed to contain the profoundness of heaven and earth.</p>
<p>As the changes continued to occur, the fetus inside the ball grew larger.</p>
<p>Eventually, after a total of eighty-one changes, the ball turned into mud, as the fetus inside was at its largest, a baby was formed, stretching his four limbs!</p>
<p>At once, the ball that surrounded him cracked, the baby was born!</p>
<p>This baby had a lively expression, his eyes were shining like stars, he had pale and fair skin, his limbs were chubby, his face was rosy, cute and delicate, immortal aura was oozing from him.</p>
<p>A formless force surrounded his entire body, it protected him from damage, he was safe and sound.</p>
<p>The baby gradually landed on the ground.</p>
<p>During this process, he grew rapidly.</p>
<p>From the time of his birth to when he was two to three years old physically, only a breath of time had passed.</p>
<p>Four, five, six, seven, eleven, twelve years old… when his legs landed on the ground, he was already a sixteen year old young lad!</p>
<p>His skin was still white, but it was not pale white, nor a feminine pinkish white, it was a white that was clean and simple.</p>
<p>His long hair was black and shiny, extending to his waist.</p>
<p>His body was slightly thin, there was no excess flesh on his entire body.</p>
<p>The bridge of his nose was high, the most attractive thing were his eyes. The starlight that was shining in his eyes had already become muted, they turned dark and deep like an abyss.</p>
<p>His lips were quite rich, giving off a rosy and healthy glow. Right now, they were tightly pursed together, showing his mental state of being determined and unwavering.</p>
<p>This youngster was naturally Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>At this moment, he opened his eyes, looking at his young body, he was shocked: “An entirely new… body?”</p>
<p>The body that was created by Spectral Soul and the entirety of Shadow Sect, after countless years of hard work and effort, it was not as simple as it seemed.</p>
<p>Regarding its traits, Fang Yuan had to explore further.</p>
<p>But simply at this moment, Fang Yuan’s first feeling was that this body was incomparably suited for his soul.</p>
<p>In comparison, his previous immortal zombie body was like clothing made from twigs and leaves, and this new body was made with soft silk.</p>
<p>Everything was different now.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan felt that he had walked out of the darkness, he saw blue skies and white clouds, his perspective was broadened.</p>
<p>“This is the use of the sovereign immortal fetus Gu that Spectral Soul had painstakingly created? Revival! And having rank six cultivation level upon revival.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s Gu Immortal aura was not fake.</p>
<p>He had made the right gamble!</p>
<p>Even though he did not know what the use of this Immortal Gu was, seeing Spectral Soul float towards the Immortal Gu personally, Fang Yuan knew he could do the same.</p>
<p>As he thought about these things, Fang Yuan directed his gaze towards the sky.</p>
<p>There, Spectral Soul was still in the dream realm. This was within Fang Yuan’s expectations, after all, Spectral Soul’s condition was really terrible.</p>
<p>And Ying Wu Xie’s body was no longer controlled by Fang Yuan’s soul, it had already shut its eyes, floating in the air, unmoving.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan called out: “Come back.”</p>
<p>Instantly, a large number of Gu worms flew out of Ying Wu Xie’s body.</p>
<p>Earlier, Fang Yuan’s soul had entered the sovereign immortal fetus Gu, all of the Gu worms with him had stayed inside the Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique body.</p>
<p>Now, Fang Yuan called out and retrieved these Gu worms.</p>
<p>Attitude Immortal Gu, unravel mystery Immortal Gu, change soul Immortal Gu, and other soul path and dream path mortal Gu.</p>
<p>“Ying Wu Xie still has a number of dream path Immortal Gu on his body, how can I retrieve them?” Fang Yuan frowned, feeling troubled.</p>
<p>He had used Change Soul earlier, using attitude Gu to disguise himself and used the immortal killer move lead soul into dream. Even though he succeeded in affecting Spectral Soul, the wills inside these dream path Gu worms had already reacted, Fang Yuan could not move them anymore.</p>
<p>“Not only the Immortal Gu in his body, Ying Wu Xie’s body itself has a lot of value for research! Hmm?”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan suddenly turned around, seeing an immortal zombie approach him with an imposing demeanor.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s gaze flickered, his lips curled into a smile, thinking: “You are finally here.”</p>
<p>It was himself.</p>
<p>Or more accurately, it was Ying Wu Xie’s soul, who was manipulating Fang Yuan’s former immortal zombie body.</p>
<p>At this moment, Fang Yuan had just obtained a new body, he was still adapting, the number of Gu worms with him could not compare to the immortal zombie body.</p>
<p>But Fang Yuan was not nervous, he waited for Ying Wu Xie to arrive.</p>
<p>“You are?” Ying Wu Xie hesitated, he slowly approached Fang Yuan, assessing him closely.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan purposely pretended to be close to him, placing his arms behind his back and saying: “Wu Xie, I have succeeded. Fang Yuan’s soul has already been completely destroyed!”</p>
<p>“No! You are not my main body! If you are, with my relationship as a split soul, how can I feel no connection?” Ying Wu Xie’s eyes shined with bright light, he reacted and exposed Fang Yuan’s true identity.</p>
<p>“Oh, ghostly concealment became a flaw instead. But if I could use familiar face, I should have been able to deceive him.” Fang Yuan thought while rubbing his chin, he couldn’t help but laugh.</p>
<p>He was so casual, a confident light flickered in his eyes, as if he was in control of the situation.</p>
<p>“You are Fang Yuan!” Ying Wu Xie understood, he gritted his teeth until they were making sounds, he was so angry he felt he was burning up!</p>
<p>His anger was understandable.</p>
<p>They had worked so hard, planning for countless years before seeing the fruits of their labor. But Fang Yuan actually snatched it from them now.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie shouted loudly, pouncing towards Fang Yuan, he wanted to hack him into a million pieces!</p>
<p>They were a hundred steps away from each other, Fang Yuan showed a smile like his scheme had succeeded: “Ying Wu Xie, don’t you find it strange? Fixed Immortal Travel is my Immortal Gu, how could you activate it?”</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie’s expression froze.</p>
<p>Back then, he was anxious and used it subconsciously, he did not consider that point!</p>
<p>Now that he was reminded by Fang Yuan, he knew something was amiss, his momentum was interrupted.</p>
<p>“You could use Fixed Immortal Travel because I lent it to you. I wanted you to rush here. Most of my accumulations are still in this body.” Fang Yuan said.</p>
<p>Since he knew that he was going to change souls with Ying Wu Xie, with his personality and methods, why would he not set up some arrangements?</p>
<p>Firstly, Fang Yuan concealed a huge amount of his fake will inside his mind.</p>
<p>Because of this, when Ying Wu Xie woke up, he wanted to rush back and ignored many things that did not seem right.</p>
<p>This was like what Mo Yao’s fake will did to Fang Yuan in Imperial Court blessed land.</p>
<p>Secondly, Fang Yuan injected some special will into his Gu worms.</p>
<p>What were special wills?</p>
<p>In Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had left behind a vast number of special wills. He set up some specific situations and they would activate accordingly.</p>
<p>Just like now.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan looked at Ying Wu Xie approaching, as the smile on his face grew, he called out: “Still not returning here?”</p>
<p>Swoosh!</p>
<p>A large number of Gu worms flew out, they were mostly mortal Gu, but there were Immortal Gu mixed in them.</p>
<p>Like birds flying back to their nests, they entered Fang Yuan’s embrace.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie stared with wide opened eyes, immensely shocked.</p>
<p>At that moment, he was all alone, without anything at his disposal. In his body, only Spring Autumn Cicada was left, and he could not activate it.</p>
<p>The situation on both sides flipped!</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s arrangement was like this.</p>
<p>As long as Ying Wu Xie brought Fang Yuan’s body back to Yi Tian Mountain, and heard someone call out ‘still not returning here?’, these Gu worms would fly out and go to that person.</p>
<p>These Gu worms were originally Fang Yuan’s, now that they returned, they could be used at will, just like before.</p>
<p>Back then, Fang Yuan did not know about the use of sovereign immortal fetus Gu, he could not predict that he would revive and obtain a new body.</p>
<p>He was worried that it might not be appropriate for him to use Ying Wu Xie’s Gu worms, unexpected surprises could easily occur. He needed his own Gu worms to increase his battle strength at the crucial moment!</p>
<p>Of course, the special will that Fang Yuan injected was not so simple.</p>
<p>Once the time limit was exceeded, these Gu worms, no matter if they were mortal or immortal, would self destruct!</p>
<p>Enemies were often the best teachers. Fang Yuan had suffered under the influence of Mo Yao’s fake will and Giant Sun’s special will, how could he not learn from them?</p>
<p>Waving his hand, Fang Yuan easily sent Ying Wu Xie flying.</p>
<p>“Everything is over.” He walked to Ying Wu Xie, looking at the ‘Fang Yuan’ in front of him, he sighed with complex emotions.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie felt like he was in an icy river, he was chilled to the bones!</p>

<h1>Chapter 1022</h1>
<p>Book 5: Demon King’s Domination</p>
<p>“Everything is over.” Looking at Ying Wu Xie under his feet, Fang Yuan sighed.</p>
<p>After realizing he himself had fallen to a scheme, Ying Wu Xie’s heart was filled with ice-cold despair, he gave up completely.</p>
<p>He knew he was thoroughly defeated and had no chance of turning around the situation.</p>
<p>However, a change occurred right at this moment!</p>
<p>Bam.</p>
<p>A soft explosion erupted, Ying Wu Xie’s soul, as well as Fang Yuan’s immortal zombie body, had instantly self-detonated.</p>
<p>The immortal zombie body’s dao marks, as well as Ying Wu Xie’s soul, turned into fuel for Spring Autumn Cicada.</p>
<p>Spring Autumn Cicada activated!</p>
<p>A light flashed in Fang Yuan’s eyes.</p>
<p>Spring Autumn Cicada once again entered the River of Time.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was pale with shock!</p>
<p>“What’s going on? What the hell is going on! Spring Autumn Cicada is filled with my special will, how could it be activated by Ying Wu Xie?”</p>
<p>“No! Based on his expression, he already had no more will to resist. How could he activate my Spring Autumn Cicada?! Could it be that he was only acting?”</p>
<p>“Spring Autumn Cicada is my possession, I took extra precautions with the special will as well, how could it be activated by Ying Wu Xie?”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was filled with shock and fright, as well as questions.</p>
<p>The questions he had puzzled him.</p>
<p>Standing on the same spot, Fang Yuan did not move, like a stone statue.</p>
<p>The change had occurred too suddenly.</p>
<p>Soon, his forehead was filled with cold sweat.</p>
<p>“What to do? What can I do?!”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had used Spring Autumn Cicada to turn around many situations, making comebacks and escaping from multiple dangerous scenarios.</p>
<p>However, at this moment, facing someone else using Spring Autumn Cicada, he found that he had no method to deal with it!</p>
<p>His time path accumulation was indeed too weak.</p>
<p>Without Spring Autumn Cicada, he almost had no foundation in this aspect.</p>
<p>“Did I miscalculate? What else is there that I did not consider?” Fang Yuan squinted, a drop of cold sweat slipping down from his forehead to his eyes, and then down across his face.</p>
<p>Unable to find any answers, Fang Yuan shook his head and sighed.</p>
<p>“Nothing can be done about it, I already did my utmost.”</p>
<p>If Fang Yuan had not switched souls according to Star Constellation Immortal Venerable’s instructions, he would have utterly lost, with no chance to make a comeback. He simply could not have reached his current position.</p>
<p>“Could it be that because I did not follow Star Constellation Immortal Venerable’s intention to destroy sovereign immortal fetus Gu, this change occurred?”</p>
<p>“Spring Autumn Cicada has not recovered, its activation now can only result in death!”</p>
<p>“No, that’s not right!”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan suddenly thought of a remaining arrangement created by Shadow Sect.</p>
<p>That was the ghost face and the red lotus in the River of Time.</p>
<p>In an instant, a chill spread all over his body and his hair stood on end.</p>
<p>“Be prepared for the worst in every situation. If he succeeds in rebirth, what change will occur on my end?” Right as Fang Yuan was thinking, he felt his vision starting to turn blurry.</p>
<p>No, it was not his vision turning blurry.</p>
<p>It was the whole world turning blurry under the strength of time path.</p>
<p>Because of Ying Wu Xie’s rebirth, everything was changing!</p>
<p>Whoosh!</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie quickly reacted, exclaiming in shock: “This, this is the River of Time? How could this be! How did the Spring Autumn Cicada activate? How can my consciousness replace Fang Yuan’s consciousness in the Spring Autumn Cicada?”</p>
<p>He had no fewer questions than Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Although he was the person concerned, he had reached the River of Time without knowing anything about how it happened.</p>
<p>In the River of Time, waves surged.</p>
<p>A huge wave ruthlessly crashed towards Spring Autumn Cicada.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie’s will immediately became panicked, screaming in fear! Spring Autumn Cicada was extremely weak, if it was struck by this wave, it had no possibility of surviving!</p>
<p>“Sigh… so it was like this.”</p>
<p>A sigh emerged during this moment of crisis.</p>
<p>From the River of Time floated out a ghost face. Its expression was bitter as it opened its mouth wide and spat out a red lotus.</p>
<p>The red lotus opened up and obstructed the fatal wave.</p>
<p>Afterwards, a formless suction force carried Spring Autumn Cicada, which contained Ying Wu Xie’s will, to the center of the red lotus.</p>
<p>In an instant, Ying Wu Xie’s will had entered a dark red space.</p>
<p>In this space, another will in Spectral Soul Demon Venerable’s appearance was sitting cross-legged in mid-air, smiling bitterly at him.</p>
<p>“Our main body actually left you behind as a last resort in the River of Time?” Ying Wu Xie’s will was stunned for a moment before he immediately asked joyfully.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul Demon Venerable’s will nodded, then shook his head: “You can also be considered a split soul of the main body, you should have remembered me. But unfortunately, because of the Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique, your memories dissipated.”</p>
<p>“Sigh! Nothing can be done about it, you think I was willing?” Ying Wu Xie was extremely anxious: “Also, what is going on? I had been schemed against by Fang Yuan and landed in his hands, I thought my death was certain. Why would I appear in the River of Time? Also, I clearly did not use Spring Autumn Cicada, so why did it suddenly activate?”</p>
<p>Spectral Soul Demon Venerable’s will heaved a long sigh: “I watched the whole series of events from inside this Red Lotus true inheritance, and just came to a realization. You could enter here because heaven’s will helped you. Spring Autumn Cicada was also activated by heaven’s will.”</p>
<p>“What?!” Ying Wu Xie almost collapsed from shock.</p>
<p>This was beyond his wildest imagination.</p>
<p>If it were not the genuine will of Spectral Soul in front of him, Ying Wu Xie would absolutely not have believed this fact.</p>
<p>“Hasn’t heaven’s will always been making difficulties for us? How could it suddenly help us?” Ying Wu Xie asked.</p>
<p>“Your memories have already completely dissipated, you lack my knowledge. Heaven’s will never made things difficult for us out of dislike. It also never helped us out of pity. The way of heaven is to be impartial, it is to take away surpluses while replenishing deficits. So all things are in balance and mutually restrict each other. As such, almost all fierce beasts have their natural enemies, and even rank nine venerables have limited lifespan.”</p>
<p>Spectral Soul Demon Venerable’s will paused for a moment before continuing: “And the way of humans is exactly the opposite of the way of heaven, it is to reduce the deficits and build up the surpluses. An expert will want to become even stronger. The rich would want to become richer. A beauty would want to become more beautiful. Those who have found longevity will want to obtain eternal life. Human avarice knows no bound, it will never be satisfied and is opposed to heaven’s will.”</p>
<p>“I understand a little now. Heaven’s will helped me because I failed. Fang Yuan has become a complete otherworldly demon and has already broken free of restrictions. If he is left unchecked, it will greatly damage the balance of heaven and earth. So heaven’s will shifted its target and wants to use me to deal with him and not let his plan succeed. But how could heaven’s will activate Spring Autumn Cicada? This Immortal Gu is clearly refined by Fang Yuan.” Ying Wu Xie was puzzled about this.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul Demon Venerable’s will replied: “Sigh! This is an action by heaven’s will. I also realized it just earlier. When Fang Yuan obtained Spring Autumn Cicada, it was all arranged by heaven’s will. Heaven’s will had already chosen him as a tool, letting him rebirth and destroy our main body’s plan!”</p>
<p>“Now that I think about the information given by Bai Ning Bing earlier, a place where Fang Yuan performed particularly out of the ordinary was at Qing Mao Mountain. Although his aptitude was not good, his path had been smooth sailing, and at every urgent moment, he would make the wisest choice, obtaining the greatest benefits. Qing Mao Mountain, Three Kings blessed land, Imperial Court blessed land, Yi Tian Mountain… all along the way, he clearly has not used Spring Autumn Cicada just once.”</p>
<p>“Spring Autumn Cicada is only rank six, it has a failure rate. But he actually succeeded time after time. Besides the previous time where we helped him, he did not fail even once in all his other attempts! And bear in mind that Spring Autumn Cicada lowers his luck. This is probably all because heaven’s will was helping him in secret, which allowed him to rise from a mortal to a Gu Immortal in a handful of years, causing him to draw the attention of our main body and be chosen as a tool to deal with heaven’s will.”</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie was gobsmacked: “Wait, wait, you are saying…”</p>
<p>Spectral Soul’s will nodded: “Right! This time, our main body failed primarily because of Fang Yuan. Our main body wanted to use Fang Yuan as a tool. But in fact, Fang Yuan was already a tool of heaven’s will.”</p>
<p>“Regardless of how many times Fang Yuan underwent rebirth, before his first rebirth, our main body had likely already succeeded. Not only did we refine sovereign immortal fetus Gu, we might have even reached a heaven defying level! Precisely because of this, heaven’s will did not stint on helping Fang Yuan, letting him rebirth and arrive in the past to destroy our main body’s plan.”</p>
<p>“Fang Yuan is quite an interesting character. He is an otherworldly demon, so he has the qualifications to rebirth and change the past. Ordinary people, no matter how superior they are, cannot escape the decree of fate. However, he is not a complete otherworldly demon, so he could still be influenced and manipulated by heaven’s will. He thought he was the one to refine Spring Autumn Cicada and use it, but in fact that was never the case. This trump card, Spring Autumn Cicada, was already infused with heaven’s will. It is clear this arrangement had already started the moment Fang Yuan obtained Spring Autumn Cicada. But he was deceived by heaven’s will and never felt anything wrong. After all, Spring Autumn Cicada can only carry a portion of will when traveling to the past. And wills are inferior to souls, they can very easily be influenced. It is like right now, I want to impart all my memories and knowledge to you, but unfortunately your will can only bear very little.”</p>
<p>For a moment, Ying Wu Xie’s mouth was wide open, unable to say anything!</p>
<p>The waves of the River of Time unceasingly crashed against the red lotus.</p>
<p>Petals scattered along with the waves.</p>
<p>Soon, only the innermost center of the flower was remaining.</p>
<p>“You don’t have much time.” Spectral Soul Demon Venerable’s will sighed and continued.</p>
<p>“Fang Yuan is an otherworldly demon, heaven’s will tried to influence him as much as possible, but in the end, he followed his own mind’s inner desires and chose to seize sovereign immortal fetus Gu, instead of destroying it.”</p>
<p>“As such, he is like a chess piece who no longer is restricted by the rules of chess. Heaven’s will naturally would not tolerate such an existence, so it activated Spring Autumn Cicada to use you in the process of dealing with Fang Yuan.”</p>
<p>“But heaven’s will is not going to let you regain sovereign immortal fetus Gu after you rebirth. So, after you rebirth, you would likely not have any easy opportunities to change the overall situation, don’t be impatient and ruin this final chance.”</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie asked: “Then what should I do?”</p>
<p>“Now, Zombie Alliance is already annihilated, Shadow Sect is also destroyed, even my main body is in a dangerous situation. But Shadow Sect’s immortals have all left behind some arrangements for the future. You can use these to reestablish Shadow Sect.”</p>
<p>“Fate is hard to defy, but luck can be exploited! The power from Northern Plains’ Longevity Heaven can be used. On Central Continent’s side, there are also hidden forces which have not been targeted by the ten great ancient sects…”</p>
<p>“Your will is limited, knowing this much is already your maximum. Use these to reestablish Shadow Sect and save our main body. Most crucially, you need to inform our main body of this important information. Because when you rebirth, both I and this Red Lotus True inheritance will also change, and I won’t remember these things. At that time, you will be the only person who knows!”</p>
<p>“Remember, a tall tree is the first to face destruction, soil that is nearest to the water will be the first to be swept away by the currents. Our previous action of hiding and accumulating power to deal with heaven’s will was correct. Since we succeeded once, then we can succeed a second time! Take care of yourself!”</p>

<h1>Chapter 1023</h1>
<p>The sound of the wind was blowing intensely, as ‘Fang Yuan’, who was still flying, jolted to awareness, he blurted out: “I was reborn!”</p>
<p>“Spring Autumn Cicada is amazing indeed! Worthy of Red Lotus Demon Venerable’s vital Immortal Gu!”</p>
<p>“What time is it now?”</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie stopped moving, he looked around, realizing that he was on the way to Yi Tian Mountain.</p>
<p>At this moment, he was less than ten thousand li away from his destination.</p>
<p>“Fang Yuan purposely lent me Fixed Immortal Travel so that I could get to him, he would then take his Gu worms back and obtain victory!”</p>
<p>“But he did not expect that he was heaven’s will’s tool to begin with, the Spring Autumn Cicada that he had was controlled by heaven’s will all along.”</p>
<p>“Now that I have been reborn, I know the appearance of Yi Tian Mountain’s scenery clearly. I can use Fixed Immortal Travel to teleport there directly. I can deal with Fang Yuan and take revenge!”</p>
<p>Thinking of this, Ying Wu Xie shook his head rapidly.</p>
<p>“Damn it! Fang Yuan’s fake will affected my judgment again.”</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie gritted his teeth: “Heaven’s will truly has ill intentions, even if I rush over now, Fang Yuan has already used sovereign immortal fetus Gu, he is weakened at most, all I can do is injure him.”</p>
<p>“What a pity! If I returned to the time when I just escaped from the dream realm, I would be able to turn this around. Hmph, but heaven’s will would not allow that, it does not want to see my main body obtain sovereign immortal fetus Gu.”</p>
<p>“Since the outcome is already decided, I should follow the instructions of my main body and retreat!”</p>
<p>“Heaven’s will wants us to fight, how can I let its scheme succeed?”</p>
<p>“Anyone who can achieve great things must be able to endure the most unbearable things.”</p>
<p>“I do not need to deal with Fang Yuan, he can draw the attention of heaven’s will. In the future, if he is still alive, I will use him as the material to refine sovereign immortal fetus Gu again, I can save a lot of time and effort in that case.”</p>
<p>“I need to rebuild Shadow Sect, this is definitely not the end! I can make use of Tai Bai Yun Sheng and Hei Lou Lan, but I cannot let them meet Fang Yuan.”</p>
<p>Since he knew about the fake will, he was on guard against it, Ying Wu Xie escaped from Fang Yuan’s scheme.</p>
<p>He took a final look at Yi Tian Mountain, anger, hatred, and anticipation were flickering in his eyes.</p>
<p>At this distance, he could see that Yi Tian Mountain was in rubble. The despicable thief Fang Yuan, the one who took the fruits of his labor, was definitely still there!</p>
<p>But he could not go there now.</p>
<p>The most important thing was the big picture.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie gritted his teeth, turning around and leaving.</p>
<p>“Why has Ying Wu Xie not come here yet?” Fang Yuan waited for a long time, his heart sank to rock bottom.</p>
<p>“This means he saw through my arrangements and left my control?”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was frowning deeper.</p>
<p>Although he did not know what happened, he did not know the truth of Spring Autumn Cicada with the memories of the previous life gone, but Fang Yuan knew one thing clearly: He was in quite a pinch.</p>
<p>“If Ying Wu Xie does not come here, the special will that I placed in my Gu worms will not activate. After the time limit, these Gu worms will self detonate! I need to get to Ying Wu Xie as soon as possible, suppressing or convincing Tai Bai Yun Sheng and Hei Lou Lan to subdue him with me.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan still had attitude Gu, this was the best evidence to convince Hei Lou Lan.</p>
<p>As for Tai Bai Yun Sheng, it was even easier. After spending so much time together, he just needed to reveal some details to convince him.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan inspected his Gu worms.</p>
<p>He had regained control of the Gu worms that he brought after using Change Soul.</p>
<p>The highest ranking one was the legendary attitude Immortal Gu. Other than that, he had the wisdom path Immortal Gu Unravel Mystery, and the soul path Immortal Gu Change Soul.</p>
<p>As for the others, they were all dream path and soul path mortal Gu, they were not worth mentioning.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan frowned deeply.</p>
<p>Among them, there was no movement type Gu worm!</p>
<p>“Do I need to chase after Ying Wu Xie, who has Fixed Immortal Travel, on foot? Or maybe I can subdue the dream path Gu worms on Ying Wu Xie’s body first? These Gu worms include movement type Gu worms.”</p>
<p>But inside these Gu, there was none of Fang Yuan’s will. Thus, Fang Yuan could not subdue them easily like Unravel Mystery and Change Soul.</p>
<p>To use them, he might need to use attitude Gu to deceive them.</p>
<p>But he had already deceived them once, Fang Yuan felt little confidence in succeeding a second time.</p>
<p>“But I have no choice, I must try.” Thinking of this, Fang Yuan subconsciously raised his head, looking at Ying Wu Xie’s body in the sky.</p>
<p>He did not expect that this was the last time he was seeing Ying Wu Xie’s body!</p>
<p>At the next moment, Ying Wu Xie’s body self-destructed.</p>
<p>There was no sound.</p>
<p>This was a silent explosion.</p>
<p>The result of the explosion was not bloody, it was beautiful and dazzling.</p>
<p>The entirety of Ying Wu Xie’s body turned into layers of dazzling lights.</p>
<p>These beautiful lights were shining in the colors of the rainbow, they were extremely beautiful.</p>
<p>But looking at this beautiful sight, Fang Yuan’s pupils shrunk, he quickly retreated, getting some distance from it.</p>
<p>Because he recognized this was a dream realm!</p>
<p>This dream realm had manifested externally, it was unfathomably deep, forming right in front of him.</p>
<p>“Did this happen because I used lead soul into dream on Spectral Soul? No, definitely not. All of a sudden, why did Ying Wu Xie’s body self-detonate? And it turned into a dream realm?”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan sighed inwardly.</p>
<p>He did not know that Ying Wu Xie’s lifespan was only eighteen hours. During the eighteen hours, Ying Wu Xie turned from a mortal into a rank one, rank two, three, four… seven, and rank eight Gu Immortal. Every two hours, his cultivation level increased by one rank. At the final moment, he would even become a rank nine Gu Immortal.</p>
<p>But once the eighteen hours was up, he would self-detonate, turning into a dream realm.</p>
<p>He was born from nothing, he was created using Immortal Gu Become Real, appearing from a dream realm. It was not strange that he turned into a dream realm.</p>
<p>The dream realm created from his detonation expanded rapidly, spreading out.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan raced away as fast as he could, he fled for seven hundred li, until he was out of the dream realm’s radius.</p>
<p>If he was inside the dream realm, he would be in trouble.</p>
<p>Even though Fang Yuan had unravel mystery Immortal Gu, he did not have enough mortal Gu to use his immortal killer move, unravel dream.</p>
<p>The dream realm was still spreading, but the speed was decreasing.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan could only keep retreating, when he was a thousand li away from Yi Tian Mountain, the dream realm stopped expanding.</p>
<p>In this way, a giant dream realm that stretched a thousand li after manifestation appeared in front of Fang Yuan, filling his vision.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s heart jumped: “Thankfully, I did not listen to Star Constellation Immortal Venerable at the end and destroy sovereign immortal fetus Gu. Otherwise, my soul would be trapped along with Ying Wu Xie’s body in this giant dream realm until my death?”</p>
<p>“What do I do now?”</p>
<p>This change severely disrupted Fang Yuan’s plans.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie’s body was extremely valuable. He had a set of dream path Gu worms and could use the formidable lead soul into dream.</p>
<p>What Fang Yuan wanted the most was Spectral Soul. Even though he was in bad condition, if he escaped the dream realm and ended up in Fang Yuan’s hands, Fang Yuan could soul search him and obtain lots of secrets, along with a vast amount of cultivation experience.</p>
<p>And this huge battlefield, even though it was ravaged by myriad tribulations, some Gu Immortals’ immortal apertures might be left behind, at the least, life and death blessed land was still around.</p>
<p>But now, all of these things were covered by the dream realm.</p>
<p>Regardless of whether Fang Yuan had unravel dream, even if he could use it, how many years would it take him to unravel this dream realm and get to the center of the battlefield?</p>
<p>Fang Yuan clenched his fists, looking at the giant dream realm, he sighed helplessly.</p>
<p>“At this point, there are no other options. I cannot stay here, after such a commotion, Southern Border Gu Immortals are definitely rushing here.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan quickly moved according to his memories.</p>
<p>He chose the direction where Tai Bai Yun Sheng had escaped with his body.</p>
<p>“Hopefully, my luck is good and I can encounter them.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was not going to succeed.</p>
<p>He did not know that after encountering some Southern Border Gu Immortals, Tai Bai Yun Sheng and Hei Lou Lan had already changed directions after the intense battle.</p>
<p>He also did not know that using the advantage of rebirth, Ying Wu Xie had joined up with Tai Bai Yun Sheng and Hei Lou Lan already.</p>
<p>“Fang Yuan, you had better explain it properly, otherwise, we will be enemies!” Hei Lou Lan’s expression was dark, she was very rude towards Ying Wu Xie.</p>
<p>Tai Bai Yun Sheng quickly waved his hands: “Calm down! I believe Fang Yuan has his reasons, listen to him.”</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie looked at Tai Bai Yun Sheng and Hei Lou Lan in a sincere manner: “I was too anxious, I was hit by his killer move, I did not just end up in the dream realm. Right now, most of my Gu worms cannot be used, only by killing him can this killer move be undone.”</p>
<p>“But I saw you use Fixed Immortal Travel! If not for the fact that our locations can be detected with Gu worms, I thought you were abandoning us and left Southern Border yourself!” Hei Lou Lan spoke quickly, demanding imposingly.</p>
<p>“That was a desperate move that I was forced to use. You also saw that I failed and suffered heavy injuries when I used Fixed Immortal Travel the first time. Furthermore, why would I abandon you? The situation now is filled with danger, we have to stay united to have a bigger chance of survival.” Ying Wu Xie said convincingly.</p>
<p>Hei Lou Lan snorted, she wanted to continue arguing.</p>
<p>But Ying Wu Xie stopped her from speaking: “Enough! We will use Fixed Immortal Travel to leave now. My identity is already exposed, Heavenly Court knows already, Hu Immortal blessed land is not safe, we have to transfer the resources inside.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan sprinted rapidly.</p>
<p>He did not use any Gu worms, but he was fast like a charging horse.</p>
<p>After fifteen minutes of sprinting, he did not feel any fatigue.</p>
<p>Along the way, he realized joyfully: This body might look pale and tender, but it had incredible defense. During his sprint, none of the tree branches that scraped his body left a mark. The sharp rocks on the ground were crushed when he stepped on them, they were no obstruction to him.</p>
<p>Furthermore, he had huge strength.</p>
<p>By just leaping gently, he could jump for ten meters of distance.</p>
<p>But what made Fang Yuan disappointed was, he did not encounter any traces of Ying Wu Xie, Tai Bai Yun Sheng, or Hei Lou Lan wherever he went.</p>

<h1>Chapter 1024</h1>
<p>Wind blew wildly past him, Fang Yuan traveled across mountains and rivers, even without using Gu worms, his speed was very fast.</p>
<p>After he left the range of the tribulations, he no longer saw flat plains, instead, there were mountains and forests.</p>
<p>Southern Border was full of mountains, this was the special characteristic of the region.</p>
<p>“After running for so long, without any rest, I felt no fatigue at all! Most importantly, I did not even use a single Gu worm.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was starting to feel the uniqueness of this body now.</p>
<p>A Gu Master’s body, without using Gu worms to modify them like black boar Gu and white boar Gu, was no different to a mortal.</p>
<p>Precisely because of the dao marks in their bodies, Gu Masters’ bodies become extraordinary, filled with unique specialties.</p>
<p>“My body was created from the rank nine sovereign immortal fetus Gu. It seems that the dao marks in me are not few in number. At the least, the number of strength path dao marks surpass my previous body’s accumulation!”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan assessed in his mind.</p>
<p>After becoming an immortal zombie, he had also stopped feeling physical fatigue. But if his original body revived, he would definitely need to rest if he tried running like this.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan ran in the thick forest, he used both his hands and legs to climb cliffs and steep paths.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was still naked, he was like a white figure dashing through the thick forest.</p>
<p>He could see the thick forest clearly in his vision. Even during his sprinting, it was as if time was still, Fang Yuan could easily avoid obstacles.</p>
<p>“Using a phrase from Earth, this is visual acuity. My visual acuity while moving is superb to the extreme! This is definitely inhuman. My original body could only reach this stage after using Gu worm.”</p>
<p>Rapidly, Fang Yuan ascended to the peak of this mountain.</p>
<p>The forest that obscured his vision was gone, his field of vision expanded, he could see everything around him!</p>
<p>Wind blew as his long hair swayed behind his back.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan took a couple of deep breaths before settling down, his breathing was regular and relaxed, as if the running earlier did not happen.</p>
<p>His stamina was unbelievable!</p>
<p>Mountain winds blew coldly, Fang Yuan was still naked, without being covered up at all, but he felt no chill.</p>
<p>His heartbeat returned to normal, every time it beat, it was very strong and lively.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan looked into the distance.</p>
<p>His vision was very good.</p>
<p>Looking ten thousand steps away, everything was clear to him.</p>
<p>Looking around, Fang Yuan’s gaze froze, he stared in focus.</p>
<p>He saw traces of battle.</p>
<p>“It seems that Tai Bai Yun Sheng and Hei Lou Lan carried my body and encountered Gu Immortals here, they had a fight.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan jumped down from a mountain peak.</p>
<p>With a loud bang, he landed on a rock ten meters below.</p>
<p>He was uninjured.</p>
<p>Even his legs felt no numbness!</p>
<p>The rock below him however, was covered in spider web-like cracks.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s eyes shined, he began experimenting.</p>
<p>The distance between him and the ground increased. From ten meters to fifteen meters, to twenty-five meters, and to forty meters.</p>
<p>Using examples from Earth, fifteen meters was the height of a five storey building. Forty meters was a tall building, a lighthouse.</p>
<p>He was not at his limit yet, the distance increased to a hundred and sixty meters.</p>
<p>At this point, Fang Yuan felt his feet turning numb. His guts were huge, several times, he used other areas of his body to land.</p>
<p>His chest hit the ground, his back hit the ground, he was able to create holes in the mountain rocks.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan stood up from the holes, completely intact.</p>
<p>In fact, the numb feeling felt great!</p>
<p>Breathing in deeply, Fang Yuan jumped down again.</p>
<p>This time, he was at a hundred and eighty meters.</p>
<p>This height was not a problem for Fang Yuan, but the point was, he was pointing his head downwards!</p>
<p>Bam.</p>
<p>With a loud sound, Fang Yuan’s entire head was buried into the rock.</p>
<p>Propping himself up, he pulled his head out of the rock.</p>
<p>The skull was the hardest part of the body, but Fang Yuan felt something.</p>
<p>His skull was numb, and he felt a little dizzy.</p>
<p>But this dizziness only lasted for three breaths of time, and it was very mild. With a gust of cool breeze, it was gone.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan touched his head and inspected his body.</p>
<p>He was completely intact, he did not even lose a single strand of hair!</p>
<p>He was good as new.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan tried to pull his hair, he found out that his hair was very durable, he had to use a lot of strength to pull out one strand.</p>
<p>This hair was thicker than a normal person’s hair, it was black and shiny, resembling a thin steel wire.</p>
<p>Pulling it further, it did not break, it was extremely durable.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan thought it over, he tied this hair around his wrist, turning several rounds before tightening it.</p>
<p>This hair could not be lost, if someone with ill intentions took it, it was a useful thing for deductions.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan ran towards the area with traces of battle, while jumping down from mountain cliffs and testing his limits.</p>
<p>The height continued to increase, from a hundred and eighty meters, he reached two hundred and fifty meters.</p>
<p>At this point, Fang Yuan felt pain, but it was not unbearable yet.</p>
<p>Eventually, after three hundred and thirty meters, Fang Yuan stopped his experiment.</p>
<p>From this height, he could already feel evident pain. The area where he landed on was slightly red, there was a slight bruise.</p>
<p>“Three hundred and thirty meters is not my body’s limit?” Fang Yuan was shocked.</p>
<p>This height was terrifying, even the Eiffel Tower on Earth was only three hundred meters tall.</p>
<p>“With just this body, without using a single defensive Gu, I can reach this level. Even Gu Immortals, with just their bodies alone, it is not common to reach this level, right?”</p>
<p>“It seems that among the dao marks that I have, there are a lot of defensive properties.”</p>
<p>Realizing this, Fang Yuan was more assured.</p>
<p>He had no defensive Immortal Gu now, he only had Unravel Mystery, Change Soul, and attitude Gu.</p>
<p>Arriving at the location of the battle traces, Fang Yuan squatted down and investigated.</p>
<p>“It seems to be them.” Soon, Fang Yuan stood up, frowning.</p>
<p>Without investigative Gu worms, it was very troublesome, Fang Yuan could not be certain.</p>
<p>But he knew that he had to continue chasing them!</p>
<p>“There is not much time left.”</p>
<p>He had no time to check his own abilities, the earlier experiment was only due to convenience, Fang Yuan continued pursuing them.</p>
<p>Soon, he found the second and third traces of them.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan followed these traces and slowly changed his direction.</p>
<p>Battles between Gu Immortals usually happened in the sky. There were few traces left on the ground. And because Fang Yuan could not fly, it was hard for him to track them.</p>
<p>As time passed, Fang Yuan’s heart sank to rock bottom.</p>
<p>Suddenly, a figure descended from the sky like a comet.</p>
<p>With a loud crash, he landed in front of Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Fire spread everywhere, burning all of the surrounding trees.</p>
<p>“Who is it?!” Fang Yuan frowned, his eyes shined as he shouted coldly.</p>
<p>“I am Huo Kong Dong, did you come from Yi Tian Mountain?” The person was burning in flames, his attitude was not friendly.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s expression turned grim, change soul Immortal Gu’s aura burst out as he questioned instead of answering: “You came at a good time, just now when you were flying, did you see any suspicious individuals?”</p>
<p>Sensing the aura of change soul Immortal Gu, he knew that Fang Yuan was not to be trifled with, his demeanor changed.</p>
<p>The majority of rank six Gu Immortals did not have Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>Even though Huo Kong Dong was a lone cultivator, he had already joined Southern Border’s Chai clan.</p>
<p>Chai clan was a super force, in this battle of Yi Tian Mountain, Chai clan’s Gu Immortals died. Chai clan’s first supreme elder thus sent an external elder, Gu Immortal Huo Kong Dong, to investigate the cause.</p>
<p>Hearing Fang Yuan’s question, Huo Kong Dong thought in his mind: “Suspicious individuals? You are running around here butt naked in broad daylight, you are the most suspicious one!”</p>
<p>He was silent briefly before answering: “There is not a single person within a hundred li other than you, sir.”</p>
<p>“Damn it! Damn it!” Fang Yuan screamed, his expression was twisted and ruthless, he seemed to be bloodthirsty.</p>
<p>Next, he clenched his fists as he gritted his teeth, speaking to himself: “It seems they have escaped! But even if you escape to the ends of the world, I will find you. I will return this humiliation to you by a hundredfold, a thousandfold!”</p>
<p>Huo Kong Dong saw Fang Yuan like this and had a guess: “It seems this person is naked because he was plotted against by someone, he lost many Gu worms and suffered a loss. He has a fierce personality and is furious now, I should be careful.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan did not explain anything, but Huo Kong Dong had already found an explanation for Fang Yuan in his mind.</p>
<p>Furthermore, he did not want to provoke Fang Yuan, it was not worth it to deal with his anger.</p>
<p>“I did not delve deeply into Yi Tian Mountain, go and see for yourself!” Saying this, Fang Yuan was ready to leave.</p>
<p>Hearing this answer, Huo Kong Dong was not pleased, he wanted to obstruct Fang Yuan, but Fang Yuan paused in his steps, he asked: “Wait! You are Huo Kong Dong? A member of Chai clan?”</p>
<p>“That’s right.” Huo Kong Dong stared blankly as he answered.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan showed an unsightly smile: “Good, I am old friends with your ninth supreme elder, has he completed his battlefield killer move myriad flash fire?”</p>
<p>Huo Kong Dong quickly replied: “Ninth elder is still in seclusion.”</p>
<p>“Heh, he is forced to stay in by his grandfather. Earlier he tried to harass Fairy Yi Yi… heh! After I settle this matter, I will look for him.” Fang Yuan said, stretching out his arm to Huo Kong Dong: “Lend me some Gu worms.”</p>
<p>“Ah?” Huo Kong Dong was shocked.</p>
<p>“What? You are a grand Gu Immortal, just lend me some mortal Gu, why are you so stingy?” Fang Yuan asked impatiently.</p>
<p>Huo Kong Dong thought: “Ninth elder is completing his battlefield killer move, but that is only an excuse to outsiders. The truth is, he did harass Fairy Yi Yi. The other party knows this, he must be friends with him. Even though I joined Chai clan, I am only a lone cultivator and outsider. But ninth elder is a member of Chai clan, and the grandson of first supreme elder. If I meet his friend and refuse to lend Gu worms, he would definitely be unhappy with me.”</p>
<p>Then I’ll lend them.</p>
<p>They’re mortal Gu anyway, they don’t cost much.</p>
<p>Huo Kong Dong took out his Gu worms, handing them to Fang Yuan, asking: “I wonder what is your name, brother?”</p>
<p>“I am Dong Fang Xiong Ji.” Fang Yuan waved his hand.</p>
<p>Huo Kong Dong stared as he thought: “He is Dong Fang Xiong Ji? He is indeed a notorious friend of ninth elder, he is famous in Southern Border for being extremely stingy, moreover he is small-minded and would take revenge for minor grievances. But he doesn’t look like this? Oh! He has no clothes left, he could only change his appearance. Never mind, I can forget about getting back these Gu worms I lent him. But if I can get this person to leave after lending to him, it would be a blessing.”</p>

<h1>Chapter 1025</h1>
<p>Whoosh…!</p>
<p>Fang Yuan flew in the sky, like a fireball, his body was burning in flames, a long trail of smoke was behind him, he had quite the striking appearance.</p>
<p>The situation earlier was quite dangerous.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan met Huo Kong Dong, even though he had three Immortal Gu, and some soul path and dream path mortal Gu, they were not comprehensive, if they fought, he would be at a disadvantage.</p>
<p>Even if Fang Yuan wanted to use the immortal killer move and swap souls with Huo Kong Dong, he could not.</p>
<p>Earlier, when swapping souls with Ying Wu Xie, he had already expended a lot of mortal Gu.</p>
<p>All of the Gu worms with him could not form a full set to use the killer move.</p>
<p>But using his superior acting skills, not only did he alleviate the danger, he scammed four rank five mortal Gu from him.</p>
<p>“In my previous life, I joined the battle of Yi Tian Mountain and the huge gambling contest. I witnessed the conflicts between Southern Border’s Gu Immortals and obtained a lot of information. Thanks to this, I was able to learn about the relationship between Chai clan’s ninth elder and Dong Fang Xiong Ji.”</p>
<p>“I could deceive Huo Kong Dong just now thanks to attitude Gu!”</p>
<p>Even though Fang Yuan had the original familiar face, he modified it with attitude Gu as the core, using a thousand mortal Gu for the new version.</p>
<p>But he could not use this killer move now.</p>
<p>Earlier, against Huo Kong Dong, he had used attitude Gu solely.</p>
<p>“Attitude Gu’s ability is to conceal my true emotions and show a fake attitude, it can make others believe it.”</p>
<p>Thinking back, Fang Yuan felt that attitude Gu was really useful.</p>
<p>Because he used attitude Gu secretly, his acting earlier was flawless, Huo Kong Dong felt that Fang Yuan was enraged and did not want to provoke him.</p>
<p>There was another advantage too, even though attitude Gu was of high rank, it had a low usage requirement. It only expended mental energy.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had just revived, he had little immortal essence, it was far less than his original accumulation.</p>
<p>“Unfortunately, attitude Gu is not mine, I have to return it to Hei Lou Lan eventually.” Thinking of this, Fang Yuan felt it was a great pity.</p>
<p>Even though he had revived and obtained a new body, his soul was the same as before, it did not change.</p>
<p>Earlier, just after he had reborn, he had set a new alliance agreement with Hei Lou Lan and Fairy Li Shan.</p>
<p>This alliance agreement was very restrictive and did not have any loopholes, it restricted the alliance members in both body and soul.</p>
<p>Thus, even though Fang Yuan was in a different body, he could not go against it.</p>
<p>“But the effect of the alliance agreement should be split into two portions. One is in the soul while the other is in the body, I am only considered half an alliance member.”</p>
<p>“Sigh! Even so, the harm of going against the agreement is too great, even if it does not affect my body, my soul would not be able to endure it.”</p>
<p>“Hmm… this body must have quite a lot of wisdom path dao marks!”</p>
<p>While he was pondering, Fang Yuan’s thoughts shifted as he realized another point.</p>
<p>He distinctly remembered: When he had just become an immortal zombie, his mind could not work well, he was like a dying old man whose thinking was very slow. Using wisdom path methods, he managed to overcome this flaw.</p>
<p>After obtaining a new body, he could feel his thoughts turning rapidly with just a shift of his mind. Inspiration was bursting out like the water of a fountain.</p>
<p>During the process of thinking, thoughts were being produced in larger numbers, like the ripples of waves from the sea.</p>
<p>“I can finally stop using wisdom path Gu worms to replenish the thoughts in my mind!” At this moment, Fang Yuan was about to tear up.</p>
<p>In the past, he had to use Gu worms to generate thoughts and think.</p>
<p>But now, with a living body, he could produce large numbers of thoughts, and these thoughts varied greatly.</p>
<p>There were malicious thoughts, kind thoughts, longing thoughts, empty thoughts, battle thoughts, evil thoughts, obsessed thoughts…</p>
<p>“As long as a person is alive, there would be a great variety of thoughts in their mind, this is not strange. But my speed of producing thoughts is much faster than normal. I could sustain even the rate of consumption under the light of wisdom for a long time!”</p>
<p>Precisely because of this, Fang Yuan predicted that this body had a significant number of wisdom path dao marks.</p>
<p>As to how many, he could not estimate the numbers yet.</p>
<p>The clarity of his cognition was unprecedented. Even his former body, before becoming an immortal zombie, was far inferior.</p>
<p>“Other than wisdom path dao marks, I also have quite a number of fire path dao marks!” Fang Yuan looked at the flames on his body as bright light flashed in his eyes.</p>
<p>The clothing of fire he was wearing was the rank five fire cape Gu. Once used, it would cause the body to burn in flames, they were harmless but had an elaborate effect, showing an eye-catching appearance.</p>
<p>Huo Kong Dong also used this Gu, but his body was covered in flames that were less than a human finger long.</p>
<p>But Fang Yuan’s flames not only covered his whole body, they were very long, the height of the flames exceeded the forearm of an adult man.</p>
<p>Other than fire cape Gu, Fang Yuan also ‘borrowed’ a rank five flying smoke Gu.</p>
<p>Right now, Fang Yuan was flying in the sky, it was due to flying smoke Gu.</p>
<p>Behind Fang Yuan, thick black smoke billowed out. Most importantly, his speed was so fast that it exceeded the normal limits of flying smoke Gu, it could match some mortal killer moves!</p>
<p>During the process of flying, winds blew wildly as he left the mountains behind.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had an idea in his mind: “It seems that not only are there fire path dao marks, I also have dao marks suited for flying.”</p>
<p>He could finally fly!</p>
<p>This way, Fang Yuan’s flying quasi-grandmaster attainment level could be displayed.</p>
<p>Being able to fly meant that he could be very agile in fighting. When humans stood on the ground, they could only move left, right, forward, backward, or jump up and down. But in the sky, they could fly in all directions, evading wherever they wished.</p>
<p>This was a qualitative change.</p>
<p>His battle strength rose rapidly because of just one Gu worm!</p>
<p>Of course, Fang Yuan’s current battle strength was still very low among Gu Immortals. If he met other Southern Border Gu Immortals, he would need to deceive them using attitude Gu.</p>
<p>“I should try to avoid battles and catch up to Ying Wu Xie! I need to expose his identity and join up with Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng.” Fang Yuan planned.</p>
<p>Right now, because Yi Tian Mountain was covered by the huge dream realm, Ying Wu Xie would not go there, Fang Yuan’s special will would not activate if he went there.</p>
<p>After the time limit was up, Fang Yuan’s Gu worms would self-detonate.</p>
<p>But as long as Fang Yuan controlled the situation, it could still be resolved.</p>
<p>That was to use Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s help to collect Gu worms and swap souls again.</p>
<p>After using Change Soul, Fang Yuan would return to his original body and mobilize his Gu worms, extracting the special will from them.</p>
<p>There is a need to explain the relationship between souls, bodies, and thoughts here.</p>
<p>With just a body, thoughts could not be produced, the body only provided the mind.</p>
<p>The soul produces thoughts, but they could not last, the mind was needed to store them and cause collisions to result in thinking.</p>
<p>When Gu Masters manipulate Gu worms, normally speaking, they were using thoughts to control them.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie’s soul would produce different thoughts from Fang Yuan’s. Thus, he could not use Fang Yuan’s Gu worms.</p>
<p>Time was pressing, Fang Yuan needed to hurry.</p>
<p>Being able to fly expanded his field of vision.</p>
<p>It was immensely better than searching on foot!</p>
<p>Along the way, he saw many traces of fighting.</p>
<p>Gu Immortals usually fought in the sky, this was a trait that separated them from Gu Masters.</p>
<p>Gu Immortals had Gu worms and time to train their flying abilities. But Gu Masters normally could not.</p>
<p>Thus, though these traces were all left behind during battle, there was little obvious damage to the terrain.</p>
<p>Luckily, Southern Border had a lot of mountains, if this was Northern Plains with linear terrain, the traces would be fainter. If it was Eastern Sea or Western Desert, the signs would be even more faint.</p>
<p>But despite this, Fang Yuan could not catch his target.</p>
<p>As the sky turned dark, his heart sank.</p>
<p>“Sigh!” He exhaled at the sky, he gave up on chasing them, he changed his mind and left, rapidly retreating.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was taking a huge risk in searching for them.</p>
<p>Yi Tian Mountain was already a troublesome place to be nearby.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul refined Gu and went through tribulation, many Southern Border Gu Immortals died, the matter had escalated so much that more Southern Border Gu Immortals were sure to investigate the area.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie and the others encountered some of these Southern Border Gu Immortals who came to investigate.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan met Huo Kong Dong, but he was only one of them.</p>
<p>The difference between the two situations was, the former were Northern Plains Gu Immortals, they were regarded with antagonism by Southern Border Gu Immortals. Fang Yuan had a Southern Border Gu Immortal aura, he did not attract excessive suspicion.</p>
<p>But if he continued to stay, even if Fang Yuan had attitude Gu, it was not safe.</p>
<p>“I left a lot of fake will in my mind, but Ying Wu Xie did not chase after me. Was it because of the obstruction of these Southern Border Gu Immortals? Or did he find out my arrangement? Or were there some hidden details?” Fang Yuan guessed.</p>
<p>“The huge force of Shadow Sect and Spectral Soul Demon Venerable’s tens of thousands of years of planning, there are surely arrangements left behind. Even just Zombie Alliance’s branches in the five regions are already a huge asset. Would Ying Wu Xie go to them?”</p>
<p>“In the worst case scenario, if he uses my identity to take over my assets, how can I deal with it?”</p>
<p>“Dang Hun Mountain and Luo Po valley were once used by Spectral Soul Demon Venerable to cultivate, they are in Hu Immortal blessed land and Star Form blessed land respectively. Even if Ying Wu Xie does not know the scenery of Hu Immortal blessed land and Star Form blessed land, he can directly teleport to Dang Hun Mountain and Luo Po valley using Fixed Immortal Travel, right?”</p>
<p>“Even after swapping souls, the land spirit should be able to detect the difference. But there are many ways to deceive land spirits, and the enemy is Spectral Soul Demon Venerable’s split soul…”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan gradually stopped flying, he floated in the air.</p>
<p>Cold wind continued to blow, his mind seemingly was being chilled.</p>
<p>The night became darker, Fang Yuan’s face also had a deep layer of gloominess.</p>
<p>Where did Ying Wu Xie, Tai Bai Yun Sheng, and Hei Lou Lan go exactly?</p>
<p>Fixed Immortal Travel!</p>
<p>Jade green light dissipated, Ying Wu Xie left Southern Border, returning to Central Continent.</p>
<p>“Ma… master?” Before he looked around, a meek voice could be heard.</p>
<p>“It is me.” Ying Wu Xie raised his head, replying nonchalantly.</p>
<p>Looking around, his lips curled into a smile.</p>

<body>
<h1>Chapter 1026</h1>
<p>“Master, please speak the secret code.” That timid voice spoke again.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie spoke: “Heaven has nine layers.”</p>
<p>That voice continued: “The land has five regions.”</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie spoke: “Throughout the ages.”</p>
<p>The voice continued: “Ruling over all beings!”</p>
<p>With a loud sound, two knees landed on the ground, and a sobbing voice could be heard: “Shi Nu pays respects to master.”</p>
<p>“Stand up.” Ying Wu Xie laughed, raising his hand as a signal to the kneeling rockman Gu Immortal.</p>
<p>The rockman Gu Immortal kowtowed three times before respectfully standing up.</p>
<p>However, facing Ying Wu Xie, his hands were still dropped, his legs were closed tightly and his body was still in a half-bowing posture, his eyes only gazing at Ying Wu Xie’s feet, not daring to look straight into Ying Wu Xie’s eyes.</p>
<p>The Gu Immortal aura from him was strong, at rank seven level.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie used Fixed Immortal Travel, but did not go straight to Hu Immortal blessed land and seize Dang Hun Mountain, instead, he arrived at this secret base of Shadow Sect in Central Continent.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie’s soul was a split soul of Spectral Soul Demon Venerable.</p>
<p>Previously, his childlike frankness and lack of sophistication were because of the Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique erasing the soul’s memories. With his memories erased, Ying Wu Xie was like a newborn, he would naturally have limited shrewdness.</p>
<p>But the battle on the edge of life and death tempered his character, and going through the imparting of Spectral Soul’s will in the Red Lotus true inheritance, Ying Wu Xie’s memories had already recovered to some degree, and was much more mature and steady when handling matters.</p>
<p>He had experienced rebirth and thus already knew Fang Yuan’s arrangements.</p>
<p>Not only could he not use any Gu worms on his body, Fang Yuan’s fake will was in his mind, and slight carelessness would have his thoughts influenced.</p>
<p>He had an extremely large number of Gu worms, as well as a dazzling array of Immortal Gu, but Ying Wu Xie could only use Fixed Immortal Travel.</p>
<p>In such a situation, he naturally would not stupidly run to Hu Immortal blessed land.</p>
<p>Even if he had ways to deceive the land spirit, he still required many Gu worms to put them to use.</p>
<p>If he entered Hu Immortal blessed land without any preparations, he would definitely be found out by the land spirit and that would be truly troublesome.</p>
<p>Thus, Ying Wu Xie used Fixed Immortal Travel to first arrive at this place and make preparations.</p>
<p>“First take me to the underground core.” Ying Wu Xie instructed.</p>
<p>“Yes, master.” Gu Immortal Shi Nu quickly responded.</p>
<p>The two drilled into the ground, going through many twisting dark tunnels and arrived before an underground chamber.</p>
<p>This chamber was extremely large, spanning as far as the eye could see.</p>
<p>The yellowish-brown soil in the chamber was extremely dense and thick, constantly rolling around.</p>
<p>In the periphery of the chamber were layers and layers of Gu formations, for healing, concealing, supporting and other uses.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie fixed his eyes upon a spot, vaguely seeing a sphere made of a soul in the center of the soil, sinking and rising.</p>
<p>He observed it for a while, letting out a sigh.</p>
<p>This soul sphere was Bo Qing’s soul.</p>
<p>Back then, Sword Immortal Bo Qing failed in passing his tribulation and was barely saved by Shadow Sect’s split soul ‘Yellow’. Thousands of years had gone by but the injuries to Bo Qing’s soul were instead worsening, not only did it not recover, it was reduced to this soul sphere.</p>
<p>Bo Qing’s soul was struck by the myriad tribulation, water path dao marks lingered around him, constantly generating without pause. Although it was inhibited by the dense earth path dao marks in the underground core, it was temporary relief that could only delay for some time and not cure it.</p>
<p>Even with Spectral Soul Demon Venerable’s foundation, they were at a loss on what to do.</p>
<p>However, Shadow Sect had never given up.</p>
<p>To look over this area, Shadow Sect subdued a group of rockmen. After some nurturing, they raised a rockman Gu Immortal.</p>
<p>This rockman Gu Immortal was Shi Nu.</p>
<p>Originally, Spectral Soul Demon Venerable had planned and conspired for tens of thousands of years to refine sovereign immortal fetus Gu. Although Shi Nu was only rank seven, he was also a considerable battle strength.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, when they were about to summon him, an unexpected mishap occurred here.</p>
<p>A wild one-eyed giant ape appeared, Shi Nu had no choice but to come out and fight the giant ape and draw it away.</p>
<p>Back then, Heaven Overseeing Tower had already set the situation, Shadow Sect was already busy dealing with this and thus did not summon Shi Nu.</p>
<p>As such, Gu Immortal Shi Nu had luckily survived.</p>
<p>Actually, there were many unexpected incidents occurring in all aspects related to Shadow Sect.</p>
<p>Apart from Shi Nu, the most clear example was Qin Bai Sheng running into Feng Jiu Ge.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul Demon Venerable wanted to refine sovereign immortal fetus Gu, desiring to go against heaven, heaven’s will would naturally see to stop it. If Spectral Soul Demon Venerable was an otherworldly demon, the situation would be somewhat better. Unfortunately, he was a native of this world and was extremely restricted by heaven’s will.</p>
<p>Shadow Sect’s strength was absolutely not small, and it was spread over five regions.</p>
<p>But because of heaven’s will’s obstruction, they were not able to use all their strength.</p>
<p>After Spectral Soul Demon Venerable was defeated, Shadow Sect dispersed, in particular, their subordinate organization, Zombie Alliance, was completely annihilated. But in the five regions, they still had some remaining arrangements.</p>
<p>Like Gu Immortal Shi Nu.</p>
<p>After half an hour.</p>
<p>“Where is this?” Tai Bai Yun Sheng came out of Ying Wu Xie’s immortal aperture.</p>
<p>“It is not Hu Immortal blessed land?” Hei Lou Lan also came out of Ying Wu Xie’s immortal aperture shortly afterwards.</p>
<p>The two gazed at their surroundings in doubt, they found they were in an underground room.</p>
<p>The arrangement here was extremely crude.</p>
<p>The two used investigative Gu worms and immediately found this underground room was only a small portion of an entire underground maze.</p>
<p>“This is the underground environment of rockmen. So this is below the ground?” Tai Bai Yun Sheng had a slight realization.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie nodded: “Right. We have already returned to Central Continent. Right now, we are in Earth Abyss. The rockmen here have already been transferred out. This is a secret base arranged by master.”</p>
<p>“No wonder you put Star Form blessed land in Earth Abyss. So master had already arranged a location in Earth Abyss.” Tai Bai Yun Sheng smiled.</p>
<p>“So Fang Yuan’s second blessed land is also in Earth Abyss.” Ying Wu Xie mentally noted it down.</p>
<p>“Purple Mountain True Monarch?” Hei Lou Lan’s mind shook as she narrowed her eyes, staring at Ying Wu Xie and asking: “Why did you not go directly to Hu Immortal blessed land?”</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie was already prepared, replying calmly: “It is not that I don’t want to return. But my identity is exposed now, Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals know about me. Although their speed in returning to Central Continent can’t match Fixed Immortal Travel, don’t forget that they have information path methods. They can notify the ten great ancient sects to surround Hu Immortal blessed land, such a simple matter, they definitely have already done it!”</p>
<p>“If we directly return there, we might just be sending ourselves into a trap. So I first moved here to scout for intelligence.”</p>
<p>“Then what did you find out?” Hei Lou Lan asked.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie sighed: “It is like I expected, my identity has been exposed, Central Continent’s ten great ancient sects already know that we are the true culprits of the destruction of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building. Hu Immortal blessed land is already surrounded, and they will attack the blessed land any moment now.”</p>
<p>Tai Bai Yun Sheng was greatly shocked: “Dang Hun Mountain is still there, what should we do?”</p>
<p>Tai Bai Yun Sheng knew Fang Yuan had already found a revival method. As such, Hu Immortal blessed land’s value had greatly reduced, what was more important were the cultivation resources in the blessed land. Dang Hun Mountain was extremely important, they had an inexhaustible source of income with it.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie sneered: “Hu Immortal blessed land is lost. I will let the ten great ancient sects safeguard the resources inside for a while. Sooner or later, I will take them back. The urgent thing is to make preparations and recover… ahh!”</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie suddenly stopped speaking, his face revealing a shocked and startled expression.</p>
<p>“What happened?” Tai Bai Yun Sheng quickly asked.</p>
<p>A furious look flashed past Ying Wu Xie’s eyes, before he bitterly smiled and brought out Fixed Immortal Travel’s destroyed body: “I was struck by Shadow Sect’s moves, but forcibly activated Fixed Immortal Travel. Now, it is destroyed!”</p>
<p>“This?!” For a moment, Tai Bai Yun Sheng and Hei Lou Lan both felt deeply regretful.</p>
<p>Fixed Immortal Travel was extremely practical, now that it was dead, the three immortals all felt great loss.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie was extremely furious inwardly: “How could Fixed Immortal Travel self-destruct all of a sudden? It seems Fang Yuan left behind some methods. Damn it! He not only schemed against me, he intentionally let me use Fixed Immortal Travel to try to lure me into going to Yi Tian Mountain, moreover, he still left behind this method! Since Fixed Immortal Travel could self-destruct, then the same should also apply to Fang Yuan’s other Gu worms.”</p>
<p>Thinking of this, Ying Wu Xie was immediately unable to stand by.</p>
<p>He now had to think of ways to subdue these Gu worms of Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s arrangement had truly caught him unprepared.</p>
<p>“Special will, it should be the special will! Looks like I need to race against time, I need to borrow Immortal Gu to suppress his Gu worms. I can’t let them self-destruct as well!” Ying Wu Xie screamed internally, unable to conceal his anxiousness on the surface.</p>
<p>Tai Bai Yun Sheng felt something amiss and asked in concern: “Fang Yuan, what’s wrong?”</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie’s face was very gloomy: “We have huge trouble. I must quickly deal with it, otherwise my other Gu worms will also have the same ending as Fixed Immortal Travel!”</p>
<p>“What! Is there anything I can help you with?” Tai Bai Yun Sheng immediately felt like his heart was burning, he also felt anxious.</p>
<p>“You two rest and recuperate first, you will be led to your rooms by the rockmen in a while. Hmph, I can deal with this situation. After all, master has not only left behind this stronghold, we still have our network!” Ying Wu Xie finished speaking, and then left.</p>
<p>Meanwhile in Central Continent, Tian Ti mountain.</p>
<p>“We have broken through! We have broken through!”</p>
<p>“Hahaha, Hu Immortal blessed land has finally been captured by us.”</p>
<p>“Let me see what benefits this kid Fang Yuan had gotten!”</p>
<p>“Be patient, don’t forget Dang Hun Mountain will be managed in turns by us, the ten great ancient sects.”</p>
<p>Gu Immortals of the ten great ancient sects of Central Continent flocked inside, excitedly storming their way into Hu Immortal blessed land.</p>
<p>Afterwards, it was like their whole bodies were drenched in cold water!</p>
<p>“Empty, how could it be empty!”</p>
<p>“There is nothing here, what’s going on?”</p>
<p>“Where is Dang Hun Mountain? Where did Dang Hun Mountain go?”</p>
<p>Central Continent’s Gu Immortals shouted one after the other.</p>
<p>“You are Lord Feng Jiu Ge?” Hu Immortal land spirit appeared in front of Feng Jiu Ge and looked at him with her large watery eyes.</p>
<p>Feng Jiu Ge was slightly taken aback: “I am.”</p>
<p>“My master instructed me to tell lord that he has already taken everything he needs. As for this blessed land, it shall be given to lord’s daughter, Feng Jin Huang.” Hu Immortal land spirit said openly.</p>
<p>“What? Fang Yuan was faster than us?!”</p>
<p>“Didn’t our combined deductions say he was still in Southern Border?”</p>
<p>“Why did Fang Yuan hand over Hu Immortal blessed land to Feng Jin Huang? Could it be that the two of them…”</p>
<p>“Speaking of it, ever since the Refinement Path Convention, these two have been pretty close. Everyone in the ten sects know of this.”</p>
<p>The Gu Immortals mumbled.</p>
<p>Feng Jiu Ge’s gaze swept past them and these whispers immediately stopped.</p>

<h1>Chapter 1027</h1>
<p>Going back a while ago in time.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan chased Ying Wu Xie with no results, he stopped in the air, feeling dejected.</p>
<p>Darkness was becoming deeper as it enshrouded the land.</p>
<p>This was a cold night.</p>
<p>Wind blew eerily, as Fang Yuan felt a chill in his mind.</p>
<p>His original plan was great.</p>
<p>Making arrangements in his body, leaving behind fake will and special will, lending Fixed Immortal Travel, according to Fang Yuan’s estimations, this plan was very likely to succeed.</p>
<p>But the result in reality was failure.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan did not know that he had succeeded once, but because of heaven’s will and Spring Autumn Cicada, it all fell apart.</p>
<p>Even though he lost, Fang Yuan decided to face the results without denying or trying to make excuses.</p>
<p>In fact, he was mentally prepared. This was his mental fortitude created after hundreds of years in this world.</p>
<p>Any plan, no matter how detailed, had a possibility of failure. Even Shadow Sect and Spectral Soul’s plan over tens of thousands of years, after so many deductions, didn’t it still fail?</p>
<p>Even the former Demon Venerable failed, not to mention Fang Yuan?</p>
<p>In this world, no matter who it was, there was no one who would never fail.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan attempted to guess Ying Wu Xie’s situation.</p>
<p>The most likely scenario was that right now, because of the obstruction of Southern Border Gu Immortals, Ying Wu Xie could not go to Yi Tian Mountain.</p>
<p>If that was the case, Fang Yuan’s arrangements were still in place, Ying Wu Xie had not discovered them, this was not the worst situation.</p>
<p>Perhaps if Fang Yuan continued chasing them, he might get back all his Gu worms and regain his peak battle strength again.</p>
<p>But this was only one possibility.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had a vigilant nature, he considered defeat before thinking about victory. He preferred to make the worst possible assumptions and prepare against them.</p>
<p>“Then, what would be the worst situation?” Fang Yuan floated in the night sky, asking himself.</p>
<p>The worst case scenario was if Ying Wu Xie found out his arrangements and exploited them to his benefit, deceiving Tai Bai Yun Sheng and Hei Lou Lan, going to Star Form blessed land or Hu Immortal blessed land and taking all of his assets!</p>
<p>This was very possible.</p>
<p>From Fang Yuan’s perspective: Ying Wu Xie was Spectral Soul’s split soul, his foundation was very abundant, it may not be hard to detect this arrangement. The most important thing was, Yi Tian Mountain had manifested a gigantic dream realm!</p>
<p>The dream realm was the greatest obstacle, Ying Wu Xie could not return to Yi Tian Mountain. Spectral Soul’s main body had already fallen deep into the dream realm, Ying Wu Xie definitely wanted to rescue his main body, but he had too few dream path Gu worms.</p>
<p>In his previous body, there were a number of dream path Immortal Gu and mortal Gu, but after the body detonated, it was unknown whether these Gu worms still existed. Gu worms were very fragile, even Immortal Gu could be destroyed by a child’s fingers.</p>
<p>Even if these dream path Gu worms were still alive, the dream realm was way too big, in his current state, Ying Wu Xie could not enter the dream realm and take these Gu worms back.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan did not have a mentality of leaving things to chance, he stopped chasing them and landed on a nearby mountain.</p>
<p>There were many mountains in Southern Border, with many forests on these mountains.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was leaning against a huge pine tree, he sat on a thick branch as he calmed his mind, using connecting heaven Gu.</p>
<p>He had borrowed four rank five mortal Gu from Huo Kong Dong.</p>
<p>One was flying smoke Gu, one was fire cape Gu. The other two were connecting heaven Gu and divine sense Gu.</p>
<p>The latter two were necessities to Gu Immortals. Using these two Gu worms, they could connect to treasure yellow heaven. It was the biggest market for Gu Immortals across the five regions.</p>
<p>It was not suspicious that Fang Yuan sought these Gu worms from Huo Kong Dong.</p>
<p>If he had them in the first place, he could buy some appropriate Gu worms in treasure yellow heaven, he would not need to run around naked.</p>
<p>But he could not ask for more. Even if Fang Yuan had attitude Gu, and Huo Kong Dong would not suspect his identity, the latter would think that he was taking advantage of him.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had inspected these four Gu worms before he carefully used them.</p>
<p>There was no issue with connecting heaven Gu, but when Fang Yuan was about to use it, his body shook, he showed an expression of immense shock.</p>
<p>With his mental fortitude, he could already completely conceal his emotions.</p>
<p>But at this moment, his shock was so great, it was unprecedented in his entire life after rebirth!</p>
<p>Even when he learned that the mastermind of Shadow Sect was Spectral Soul, Fang Yuan had never been so shocked before.</p>
<p>His body and mind were trembling!</p>
<p>His mind was quaking incessantly, he was staring with wide opened eyes, looking at the night sky and lush leaves, he appeared like he was in a daze.</p>
<p>“Calm down.” Fang Yuan blinked, telling himself, but his breathing was rough, his heart was beating rapidly.</p>
<p>He sent his consciousness into his immortal aperture again.</p>
<p>At the second glance.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan observed his brand new immortal aperture again.</p>
<p>Immense shock.</p>
<p>He frowned, his entire body tensed, an unbelievable immortal aperture was presented to him!</p>
<p>What sort of amazing immortal aperture was this!</p>
<p>“If I did not witness this personally, I would never believe that such an immortal aperture exists in the world!” Fang Yuan was filled with this thought.</p>
<p>In fact, he had already been mentally prepared.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul had spent tens of thousands of years and used up almost all of Shadow Sect’s assets, what was it for?</p>
<p>It was to refine this rank nine sovereign immortal fetus Gu!</p>
<p>Looking over the entire refinement process, they first used the ten extreme immortal zombies to create the ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation. They next used the bodies and immortal apertures of countless Southern Border Gu Immortals who died as Gu refinement material. They next sent the members of Zombie Alliance, over a hundred immortal zombies into the formation. Finally, the Demon Venerable did not stint on sacrifices to himself to activate the ten extreme formation. Finally, using the countless grand tribulations and myriad tribulations, this grand feat was achieved!</p>
<p>The difficulty of each of these steps was unimaginable for rank eight Gu Immortals! Just the first step, to collect all ten of the ten extreme physiques, it was very difficult! Tens of thousands of years of planning and waiting, along with some luck, were needed to do this. Not to mention the rest of the steps.</p>
<p>After spending such a great sum and sacrificing so much, a rank nine Immortal Gu was formed eventually.</p>
<p>Even if Fang Yuan did not know the inside details, he knew that this sovereign immortal fetus Gu had extraordinary power!</p>
<p>Rank nine Immortal Gu, in the vast numbers of Gu worms, had the same status as rank nine venerables. They were extremely rare, extremely precious, and extremely powerful.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had interacted with a rank nine Immortal Gu before.</p>
<p>That was wisdom Gu.</p>
<p>Facing wisdom Gu, he did not even have the ability to refine it!</p>
<p>He could only use the light of wisdom, it was like seeing a luxurious meal, but he could only smell it.</p>
<p>Even so, the smell was so amazing and brought Fang Yuan immense benefits.</p>
<p>Without the light of wisdom, Fang Yuan could not progress so rapidly and fiercely to this extent.</p>
<p>He recently encountered his second rank nine Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>Sovereign immortal fetus Gu.</p>
<p>This time, not only did he smell it, he swallowed this supreme meal whole!</p>
<p>“Spectral Soul refined sovereign immortal fetus Gu, it is definitely not so simple, there are profound mysteries behind it.” After rebirth, this idea was lingering in Fang Yuan’s mind.</p>
<p>But he was chasing after Ying Wu Xie, he had no time to explore the mysteries of this body.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s new body was formed by sovereign immortal fetus Gu. Even though there were huge mysteries behind it, there was no rush.</p>
<p>The urgent matter was to catch Ying Wu Xie and take back his Gu worms.</p>
<p>Thus, Fang Yuan threw this matter to the back of his mind.</p>
<p>But now, he failed to catch Ying Wu Xie, he had to make a response to the worst case scenario, thus he wanted to use connecting heaven Gu to enter treasure yellow heaven.</p>
<p>At this moment, he looked into the immortal aperture for the first time.</p>
<p>With just one glance, he was extremely stunned!</p>
<p>Because the scenery of this immortal aperture was not normal, it had greatly exceeded Fang Yuan’s common sense in regards to cultivation, that had been accumulated over hundreds of years.</p>
<p>This immortal aperture was a rank six Gu Immortal blessed land, but the space was huge, extremely huge.</p>
<p>To what extent?</p>
<p>Most rank six Gu Immortals had medium or low grade blessed lands. A low grade blessed land had a size of 2000km<sup>2</sup> at the maximum, while a medium grade blessed land could have a size of 2700km<sup>2</sup> to 4000km<sup>2</sup>.</p>
<p>This was the case for most rank six Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>A smaller number of rank six Gu Immortals, who were like Tai Bai Yun Sheng, had an impressive inheritance and had abundant foundation when ascending to immortal, they would obtain a high grade blessed land.</p>
<p>High grade blessed lands were formed with a size of 4700km<sup>2</sup> to 6000km<sup>2</sup>.</p>
<p>High, medium and low grade blessed lands were the cases for most rank six Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>‘Most’ because there were exceptions.</p>
<p>The ten extreme physiques. Great Strength True Martial Physique, Northern Dark Ice Soul Physique, Verdant Great Sun Physique, Desolate Ancient Moon Physique…</p>
<p>Once a person of the ten extreme physiques became a Gu Immortal, like Hei Lou Lan, they would obtain a super grade blessed land!</p>
<p>Super grade blessed lands had a territory of over 6700 km<sup>2</sup> but did not exceed 13000km<sup>2</sup>.</p>
<p>(The above information refers to the starting size after immortal ascension.)</p>
<p>Super grade blessed lands were very rare. Because the ten extreme physiques were already rare to begin with, and most of them would die along the way, there were few who could become immortals.</p>
<p>Of course, once a ten extreme immortal came into being, just the space of the immortal aperture was a huge asset for them.</p>
<p>Bigger immortal apertures were better, because the larger they were, the more space path dao marks they had, and the more they could carry. The production of resources and limits on their growth would be higher as well.</p>
<p>Many Gu Immortals encounter a problem when they cultivate —</p>
<p>Their immortal aperture did not have enough space.</p>
<p>Their beast groups were too big, they had to sell some. The variant humans were too large in number, they needed to sell slaves. There were too many flowers and grass inside, they had to get rid of some.</p>
<p>Everyone knew that the larger the beast groups, the more young they would produce. Everyone knew that the larger the number of variant humans, the more they would reproduce. Everyone knew that their plants were more valuable when they were allowed to grow and expand further.</p>
<p>But they had no choice.</p>
<p>The size of the immortal aperture was the limitation.</p>
<p>Thus, many Gu Immortals tried all ways possible to increase the sizes of their immortal apertures. For example, expand space Immortal Gu could increase the number of space path dao marks in the immortal aperture, it was one of the ways to increase the space inside of the immortal aperture.</p>

<h1>Chapter 1028</h1>
<p>However, methods like expand space Immortal Gu were only icing on the cake. No matter what methods were used, the biggest factor in determining the limit of the size of the blessed land was still its grade.</p>
<p>Looking at Fang Yuan’s immortal aperture again.</p>
<p>Every layer of his immortal aperture had over 33500km<sup>2</sup> of space!</p>
<p>33500km<sup>2</sup> already exceeded the super grade blessed land of a ten extreme physique Gu Immortal vastly. And this was just one layer.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan found that his immortal aperture had ten layers.</p>
<p>And each layer had more than 33500km<sup>2</sup> of space.</p>
<p>Adding them up, ten layers amounted to over 335000km<sup>2</sup> of space!</p>
<p>What did that imply?</p>
<p>Fang Yuan could not imagine.</p>
<p>Because he had never heard of such a ridiculous immortal aperture in the world!</p>
<p>The large space inside was only the first point.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s immortal aperture was split into ten layers.</p>
<p>This was very unique.</p>
<p>Normal blessed lands would not have separate spaces, they only had one unified area. For example, Hu Immortal blessed land and Star Form blessed land.</p>
<p>When would the space inside the immortal aperture split up?</p>
<p>It was when immortal apertures become grotto-heavens.</p>
<p>By then, the immortal aperture would undergo changes according to the Gu Immortal’s body, creating many different areas and segments.</p>
<p>Starry Sky grotto-heaven was a prime example.</p>
<p>“My blessed land has the characteristics of a grotto-heaven? Even what may be the greatest blessed land in the world, Lang Ya blessed land, only has one unified space. And Lang Ya blessed land has fallen from a grotto-heaven, while my blessed land has just started at rank six. And in this first layer, it is split into five areas.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s immortal aperture had ten layers.</p>
<p>The first layer was a vast piece of land, split into five areas.</p>
<p>The second to tenth layers had no soil or earth, they were empty.</p>
<p>What made Fang Yuan surprised was that the five areas in the first layer were divided very clearly.</p>
<p>The central area had the most fertile soil and differences in terrain within.</p>
<p>The southern area had many mountains and peaks, it was moist and foggy.</p>
<p>The northern area had huge grasslands with strong winds.</p>
<p>The eastern area was a sea with countless islands, like a huge chess board.</p>
<p>The western area was desolate and had high temperatures, it was mainly a desert.</p>
<p>“This arrangement, isn’t it the five regions of this world? Southern Border, Eastern Sea, Central Continent, Northern Plains, Western Desert…” Fang Yuan mumbled internally.</p>
<p>What shocked him were the second to tenth layers.</p>
<p>In these nine layers, there was no soil, there was nothing, but they were all colored red, orange, yellow, green, azure, blue, purple, white, and black respectively.</p>
<p>“Aren’t the immemorial nine heavens arranged with these colors as well? But later, Ren Zu and his ten children caused seven of the heavens to collapse, resulting in the fragment worlds of the immemorial seven heavens to scatter and fall. Right now, only white and black heaven are left.”</p>
<p>“Nine heavens, five regions, nine-five… sovereign. So this is why it is called sovereign immortal fetus Gu?”</p>
<p>In fact, Fang Yuan had some expectations that his immortal aperture would be different from others, that it would be very exemplary. But he did not expect it to be so impressive.</p>
<p>Impressive to the point that Fang Yuan felt a little… fearful.</p>
<p>Fearful?</p>
<p>This emotion seemed hard to understand.</p>
<p>But to make a comparison.</p>
<p>Tai Bai Yun Sheng was an elite person. Hei Lou Lan was a ten extreme immortal, a genius among elites.</p>
<p>And what was Fang Yuan?</p>
<p>He was far beyond any genius, if he had to be described in one word, that would be: Monster!</p>
<p>Towards geniuses, people would feel admiration, envy or resentment towards them. As for monsters, freaks who went far beyond common sense, people would feel fear… and the urge to eliminate them!</p>
<p>In the five hundred years of Fang Yuan’s previous life, his aperture was only high grade. After rebirth, his strength path immortal aperture was only medium grade.</p>
<p>He had worked hard for the goal of attaining super grade.</p>
<p>But suddenly, he obtained this immortal aperture.</p>
<p>All of a sudden, he had turned from an ordinary Gu Immortal to a ridiculous and freakish monster. Naturally, he felt some fear.</p>
<p>“I cannot let news of this immortal aperture be exposed. Once it is exposed, I will face an endless wave of enemies who wants me dead.”</p>
<p>“But even if I told people about this immortal aperture, nobody would believe me. Ah, no, at least, Spectral Soul would believe it.”</p>
<p>Thinking of this, Fang Yuan’s expression turned grim.</p>
<p>The better the nine-five sovereign immortal aperture was, the deeper the enmity between Fang Yuan and Spectral Soul, along with Shadow Sect!</p>
<p>Even though Fang Yuan had not uncovered the mysteries of the sovereign immortal aperture yet, on the surface, with just these traits, his relationship with Spectral Soul and Shadow Sect was already irreconcilable.</p>
<p>Even if the other party did not have rank nine cultivation level, they were quasi-rank nine. Against such an enemy, Fang Yuan felt deep pressure.</p>
<p>“Right now, Spectral Soul’s main body is still trapped in the dream realm.”</p>
<p>“But he has planned for tens of thousands of years, he definitely has backup plans.”</p>
<p>“Ying Wu Xie is his split soul, he is now in my body with his whereabouts unknown.”</p>
<p>“Most importantly, Zombie Alliance is finished, while Shadow Sect lost terribly, how much foundation does this secretive super force have left?”</p>
<p>“And, in the five hundred years of my previous life, did Shadow Sect and Spectral Soul succeed?”</p>
<p>His new body was very useful.</p>
<p>In just a moment, Fang Yuan thought of many things, the thoughts in his mind collided into one another, causing intense reactions.</p>
<p>“I should connect to treasure yellow heaven first.” Fang Yuan cleared his mind.</p>
<p>It only took a bit of time for him to absorb the information regarding the sovereign immortal aperture, there was no big issue.</p>
<p>He used connecting heaven Gu and divine sense Gu, easily ‘finding’ treasure yellow heaven.</p>
<p>Treasure yellow heaven was the number one market for Gu Immortals of the five regions, it had a huge origin. It was formed from a Gu Immortal’s grotto-heaven and a large immemorial yellow heaven fragment.</p>
<p>Yellow heaven, of the immemorial nine heavens, was of the same level as white heaven and black heaven.</p>
<p>Even when a mortal raises their head, they would see white heaven and black heaven. When a Gu Immortal uses connecting heaven Gu, they could sense treasure yellow heaven, which was like a torch in the darkness.</p>
<p>His attempt at connecting to treasure yellow heaven was very successful.</p>
<p>Soon, within Fang Yuan’s sovereign immortal aperture, there was a smooth mirror. Inside, he could see treasure yellow heaven.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan activated divine sense Gu, sending his thoughts inside.</p>
<p>In a short time, he found Little Hu Immortal.</p>
<p>In accordance with Fang Yuan’s instructions before he left, Little Hu Immortal had been keeping her connecting heaven Gu open the entire time.</p>
<p>After rebirth, even though Fang Yuan did not know how the battle of Yi Tian Mountain would turn out, he knew that if he was exposed, Hu Immortal blessed land would be besieged by Central Continent Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>The dragonfish and eerie fire dragon pythons inside Hu Immortal blessed land had already been shifted into Star Form blessed land.</p>
<p>Hu Immortal blessed land only had Dang Hun Mountain, several Fang Yuan stone nests, and a large number of hairy man slaves left.</p>
<p>In the underground cave, there was wisdom Gu, as well as the sword path Immortal Gu that Fang Yuan had taken from immortal zombie Bo Qing.</p>
<p>Dang Hun Mountain was kept in Hu Immortal blessed land so that he could easily sell guts Gu. After all, Hu Immortal blessed land was connected to Spirit Affinity House and Immortal Crane Sect. If it were in Star Form blessed land, it could be easily deduced.</p>
<p>There was another point, Hu Immortal blessed land was an enslavement path blessed land, it had a larger number of enslavement path dao marks, it could allow Fang Yuan to manage the hairy man slaves more easily. If these hairy men were moved to Star Form blessed land, they would not be as obedient, and would not refine Gu as enthusiastically.</p>
<p>Even though hairy men were variant humans, they had emotions, their attitude to work varied.</p>
<p>Of course, Fang Yuan was considering Hei Lou Lan and Blazing Heaven Demoness as well.</p>
<p>As for wisdom Gu, Fang Yuan wanted to relocate it the most. But Fang Yuan did not have this ability. Back then, his agreement with wisdom Gu was made under a special situation.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan and Little Hu Immortal quickly connected.</p>
<p>“Is it master?” Little Hu Immortal was joyous as she asked this.</p>
<p>“It’s me.” Fang Yuan answered.</p>
<p>“It really is master? Quickly confirm the secret code with me!” Little Hu Immortal said again.</p>
<p>The two confirmed the code as Little Hu Immortal said happily: “Master, are you okay? I miss you so much.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan laughed, he told Little Hu Immortal some important details as he told her to use plan B section C.</p>
<p>All along, Fang Yuan had been facing a lot of mental pressure, he was worried that Central Continent’s Gu Immortals would attack Hu Immortal blessed land.</p>
<p>To minimize his losses, Fang Yuan used the light of wisdom and deduced many plans to deal with many situations.</p>
<p>Furthermore, he gave these plans to Little Hu Immortal.</p>
<p>It was good to prepare in advance.</p>
<p>But after hearing his words, Little Hu Immortal thought about that plan and was stunned, she spoke as she cried: “Master, master, you don’t want me anymore? I am very obedient, I will listen to master more from now on.”</p>
<p>“Heh.” Fang Yuan laughed: “Don’t worry, plan B section C has been recently edited. Act according to it and the other party will not truly accept you.”</p>
<p>Little Hu Immortal smiled through her tears, she trusted Fang Yuan completely, she did not doubt his judgment.</p>
<p>She followed this plan and contacted Lang Ya land spirit.</p>
<p>Over on Lang Ya land spirit’s end, Fang Yuan had already told him long ago, after all, he was the external supreme elder of Lang Ya Sect.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit quickly dispatched a group of rank six hairy man Gu Immortals, using a stargate to get to Hu Immortal blessed land.</p>
<p>They displayed the ancient battle formation, Heavenly Giant Solor, turning into a giant and carrying Dang Hun Mountain, before placing it in the immortal aperture of one of the hairy man Gu Immortals and going back to Lang Ya blessed land through the stargate.</p>
<p>Little Hu Immortal next brought them to wisdom Gu. The hairy man Gu Immortals were stunned, they transmitted the information back to Lang Ya land spirit and after his shock, he used his methods to convince wisdom Gu to enter one of their immortal apertures, before going back to Lang Ya blessed land.</p>
<p>After learning about this outcome, Fang Yuan relaxed.</p>
<p>He had no choice but to expose wisdom Gu to Lang Ya land spirit out of necessity.</p>
<p>The outcome was that Lang Ya land spirit did not disappoint Fang Yuan. He was an obsession of the rank eight Long Hair Ancestor after all. Back then, Long Hair Ancestor’s refinement path attainment had exceeded that of two venerables, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable and Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable.</p>
<p>He was the number one refinement path immortal of all times, he had an unfathomable foundation. Some people in the future who researched him conjectured that Long Hair Ancestor’s limitation was that he was a hairy man variant human. If he were a normal human Gu Immortal, he might have reached the supreme realm of rank nine!</p>
<p>After Lang Ya land spirit transported wisdom Gu to Lang Ya blessed land, Fang Yuan contacted Star Form blessed land and sent Luo Po valley, which was inside, to Lang Ya blessed land as well.</p>
<p>This way, Dang Hun Mountain and Lang Ya blessed land were both inside Lang Ya blessed land.</p>
<p>Even if Fixed Immortal Travel did not self-detonate and Ying Wu Xie obtained it, he would go to Dang Hun Mountain or Luo Po valley, and Lang Ya Sect would have to deal with the danger instead.</p>

<h1>Chapter 1029</h1>
<p>“The relocation of Hu Immortal blessed land and Star Form blessed land is also settled now.” Fang Yuan could finally exhale a breath of relief after completing this matter.</p>
<p>He considered defeat before considering victory. After this matter was settled, no matter how Ying Wu Xie reacted, Fang Yuan’s losses would already be reduced greatly.</p>
<p>It was interesting, actually, under a series of odd events, his and Ying Wu Xie’s statuses had swapped.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan aspired to attain eternal life, a physical body to him was no different to a bag of flesh, and he felt no reluctance in altering it. What he cared about were three aspects.</p>
<p>First, his original body’s Gu worms.</p>
<p>Second, the cultivation resources he accumulated in Hu Immortal blessed land and Star Form blessed land.</p>
<p>Third, the relations with Hei Lou Lan, Tai Bai Yun Sheng, Lang Ya land spirit, Spirit Affinity House, Immortal Crane Sect and others.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan gazed at the dark sky, the mountain winds shaking the branches of the pine tree he was resting on.</p>
<p>He pondered: “By this time, Fixed Immortal Travel should have already self-destructed. Next, the other Gu worms will self-destruct one after the other. I wonder how Ying Wu Xie will deal with this?”</p>
<p>“There is little to no hope for me in taking these Gu worms back now. The resources of Hu Immortal blessed land and Star Form blessed land have already been moved. Hu Immortal blessed land has fallen into the hands of Central Continent’s Gu Immortals, and Star Form blessed land is hidden deep within Earth Abyss. Now, only the third matter remains, Hei Lou Lan, Tai Bai Yun Sheng and others.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan carefully pondered.</p>
<p>Regarding the third aspect, the relations with Central Continent’s Spirit Affinity House and Immortal Crane Sect were already broken.</p>
<p>The truth of Fang Yuan destroying Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was already exposed everywhere. Heavenly Court would definitely pursue this and find trouble with Fang Yuan, from a certain perspective, Ying Wu Xie possessing Fang Yuan’s physical body meant he would face the disaster for Fang Yuan to an extent.</p>
<p>So he did not need to worry about these.</p>
<p>What Fang Yuan was worried about were Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng.</p>
<p>Fairy Li Shan and Blazing Heaven Demoness were dead, Hei Lou Lan’s value had fallen sharply, but she was still a ten extreme physique Gu Immortal with the Great Strength True Martial Physique. Adding in her identity in his previous life as Spirit Affinity House’s fairy, as well as her strong luck and formidable character, she absolutely could not be looked down upon.</p>
<p>And Tai Bai Yun Sheng might only have two Immortal Gu, but each of them were top grade Gu worms with huge practical value.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was extremely worried that these two would be used by Ying Wu Xie to make difficulties for him.</p>
<p>So after he connected with Hu Immortal blessed land and Star Form blessed land, he immediately tried to communicate with Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng in treasure yellow heaven.</p>
<p>They had left behind their wills in treasure yellow heaven.</p>
<p>This was a communication method prepared early on.</p>
<p>But although Fang Yuan contacted these two wills at treasure yellow heaven, he had yet to truly contact the two of them.</p>
<p>Only when these two people connect to treasure yellow heaven and their wills returned to their main bodies would they be able to understand and learn the truth.</p>
<p>With no contact from them, the worry in Fang Yuan’s eyes became even deeper.</p>
<p>Without other options, he chose to give up trying for now and contacted Lang Ya land spirit.</p>
<p>And this time, he obtained a reply almost immediately!</p>
<p>“Lad, you finally contacted me!!” Lang Ya land spirit appeared extremely excited as he called out.</p>
<p>In truth, he had agreed to help Fang Yuan relocate the resources mainly due to Fang Yuan’s status as a member of Lang Ya Sect.</p>
<p>But when he saw Dang Hun Mountain, Luo Po valley and especially wisdom Gu, he was completely dumbstruck with amazement.</p>
<p>To sum it up in a single word, he was shocked.</p>
<p>He had never expected Fang Yuan’s hidden accumulations to be so deep.</p>
<p>So deep to the extent it made him unable to believe it.</p>
<p>Hearing Lang Ya land spirit’s words, Fang Yuan smiled, it was as if he was looking at the land spirit, with hair all over his body, like a gorilla jumping around with an exaggerated appearance.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit originated from Long Hair Ancestor, he was extremely special as he was formed from two obsessions.</p>
<p>This current obsession was filled with aggressiveness, wholeheartedly wanting to make hairy men the rulers, the masters of the five regions, suppressing humans.</p>
<p>Compared to the previous sagely-looking land spirit, this one was more erratic.</p>
<p>But no matter which one, land spirits could not lie, they were frank and honest. Fang Yuan could be much more at ease in dealing with the land spirit than human Gu Immortals who were able to hide their intentions from him.</p>
<p>Seeing that Fang Yuan was keeping quiet, Lang Ya land spirit could not endure it and continued speaking: “Fang Yuan, Lang Ya Sect has done a huge favor for you this time. What if you lost these, wouldn’t you want to smash your own head and die? So how will you repay me?”</p>
<p>Pausing for a while, Fang Yuan heard Lang Ya land spirit speak again: “Lad, contribute these things to the sect. I absolutely won’t let you suffer a loss. You are our external supreme elder! I will give you an uncountable number of sect contribution points, enough to exchange for countless Immortal Gu recipes and Immortal Gu!”</p>
<p>Since Fang Yuan had asked Lang Ya land spirit for help, he naturally was already mentally prepared. Anyone who saw Dang Hun Mountain, Luo Po valley and wisdom Gu would definitely be moved. Even Lang Ya land spirit was not an exception.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit might be straightforward and stubborn, with a one-track mind, but he was not without intelligence.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan calmly replied: “I am Lang Ya Sect’s external supreme elder, these are all mine. First elder, you are not thinking of embezzling my possessions, right?”</p>
<p>“Hehehe!” Lang Ya land spirit grabbed at his hair while yelling, “If I had known this beforehand, I would not have let you join Lang Ya Sect. I could have directly confiscated these supreme treasures if so! Damn it, I told the truth again.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan laughed.</p>
<p>Back then, Lang Ya land spirit sincerely wanted Fang Yuan to join Lang Ya Sect.</p>
<p>Now that both sides had already set the agreement, it was too late for Lang Ya land spirit to go against it. At least by his current means, he was not able to breach the agreement.</p>
<p>Even if he wanted to renege on the agreement, he needed to prepare for some time to break the information path agreement between the two sides.</p>
<p>Even so, because he could not lie, Fang Yuan just needed to probe slightly to extract the information.</p>
<p>Just based on this point, Fang Yuan already had Lang Ya land spirit firmly in his grasp.</p>
<p>After some careful thinking, Fang Yuan still felt it was better to leave Dang Hun Mountain, Luo Po valley and wisdom Gu in Lang Ya blessed land.</p>
<p>Dang Hun Mountain and Luo Po valley were two treasure troves once held by Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, if Fixed Immortal Travel hadn’t been destroyed, wouldn’t it mean Ying Wu Xie and others could casually return to these two places?</p>
<p>If Fang Yuan placed these two treasure troves in his own immortal aperture, that would be a huge mistake, it would be opening the door for robbers, letting a wolf into one’s house.</p>
<p>As for wisdom Gu, Fang Yuan could not use it for the moment.</p>
<p>He had now revived with a new physical body, unlike his previous immortal zombie body.</p>
<p>In his immortal zombie body, Fang Yuan had no need to fear the light of wisdom. But right now, if he entered this light, his lifespan would start decreasing, which was a price Fang Yuan could not accept.</p>
<p>So from now on, unless he had no alternative, it was better to not use wisdom Gu.</p>
<p>“I have obtained the sovereign immortal aperture but lost the support of wisdom Gu, it can be considered that there are losses along with the gains. But, there will be a day I will find a method to use wisdom Gu with a living body. During this period of time, it is better to let Lang Ya land spirit safeguard wisdom Gu, saving me from worrying about it.”</p>
<p>Thinking of this, Fang Yuan said to Lang Ya land spirit: “First supreme elder, you want me to present these three treasures to the sect, that is impossible. But we can cooperate. I can lend Dang Hun Mountain, Luo Po valley and wisdom Gu for the sect’s use. The sect will be in charge of safekeeping them, if anything unexpected happens, you will have to compensate me ten times over. Besides this, you need to compensate me with some sect contribution points too.”</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit was jubilant, almost dancing with joy as he shouted: “Lad, you are quite tactful. That’s good, that’s good. With Dang Hun Mountain and Luo Po valley, I can let these children refine and strengthen their souls. It will be a huge help to their Gu refinement! Also wisdom Gu, hehe, this is a rank nine Gu of wisdom path, in the past it was the vital Gu of Star Constellation Immortal Venerable, hehehe! Using it to deduce Immortal Gu recipes is simply too wonderful.”</p>
<p>From the land spirit’s tone, he actually knew how to use wisdom Gu, Fang Yuan could not help asking.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit was not stupid, replying with a chuckle: “You want to know the method to use wisdom Gu, then exchange for it with contribution points. Our Lang Ya Sect is fair!”</p>
<p>Both sides negotiated for a while before completing the matter of collaboration.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan then casually mentioned the featherman Zhou Zhong, this variant human was Fang Yuan’s slave, but it was not impossible for this relation to be exposed. Tai Bai Yun Sheng and Hei Lou Lan knew of Zhou Zhong, he was already exposed. It was better to let him lead those feathermen to stay in Lang Ya blessed land for the time being. In any case, Lang Ya blessed land’s space was extremely huge. Of course, it was unable to compare with Fang Yuan’s sovereign immortal aperture in terms of potential future space.</p>
<p>As for those hairy man slaves in the Fang Yuan stone nests, after Fang Yuan haggled with Lang Ya land spirit, these hairy man slaves still belonged to Fang Yuan, but he had to remove their slave status, they could only be considered Fang Yuan’s subordinates in Lang Ya Sect.</p>
<p>Because of his identity, Lang Ya land spirit had deep love for hairy men and disdain for other races, having a doctrine that hairy men were to be the rulers. Naturally, he would not let Fang Yuan continue to order these hairy men as slaves.</p>
<p>It was already extraordinary for him to still let these hairy men be subordinate to Fang Yuan, not arguing about it.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was actually quite happy about this.</p>
<p>These hairy men were now free and belonged to Lang Ya blessed land. But as long as Fang Yuan mobilized them to refine Gu, they would have to obey his orders, which was not much different from beforehand.</p>
<p>These hairy men would even be nurtured by Lang Ya land spirit, building their own families and working in the blessed land, which would stimulate their passion for Gu refinement and increase their work efficiency.</p>
<p>Finally, Fang Yuan briefly informed Lang Ya land spirit about the matter regarding Ying Wu Xie and Shadow Sect.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit listened on while staring blankly, and only a long time after Fang Yuan finished talking did he react.</p>
<p>“So you even had Red Lotus Demon Venerable’s vital Immortal Gu, Spring Autumn Cicada!” Lang Ya land spirit cried out again: “Lad, what kind of dog shit luck do you have? No, don’t tell me you even have Giant Sun Immortal Venerable’s vital Immortal Gu, Dog Shit Luck?”</p>
<p>“So Giant Sun Immortal Venerable’s vital Immortal Gu was actually Dog Shit Luck? Not fortune rivalling heaven Gu?”</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit snorted: “He refined Fortune Rivalling Heaven in his later years. In his early years, it was Dog Shit Luck. I had cooperated with him when I was alive, how would I not know?”</p>

<h1>Chapter 103</h1>
<p>The wine tavern wasn’t big, but it was in a good location; it was at the eastern side of the village near the eastern gate.</p>
<p>The flow of people was the largest at the eastern and northern gates. Thus, the wine tavern’s business was pretty good whether it was day or night.</p>
<p>“Young lord, please take a seat.” An old man lowered his head to Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Few waiters wiped the benches and tables with a fawning and flattering smile towards Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan shook his head. He didn’t sit, but walked around the tavern, sizing everything. He thought inwardly, “This is my wine tavern.”</p>
<p>This wine tavern only had one floor, but it had an underground wine cellar.</p>
<p>Huge and square black tiles covered the floor. There were eight square tables; two tables were set against the wall and other six tables were surrounded by four benches.</p>
<p>A dark brown, long sales counter could be seen immediately upon entering the wine tavern. There were papers, brush, ink stones and also an abacus on the counter. Behind the counter was the liquor cabinet where all sizes of wine jars were displayed. Some of these were large wine jars of black pottery, and some were small and bright porcelain wine bottles.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was walking around as he wished; the old man and waiters didn’t dare to sit, they could only follow close behind.</p>
<p>They were restless, the news of the landlord changing was too abrupt. The previous landlord Gu Yue Dong Tu was cunning as a ghost, he was strict and acrimonious; they were under a lot of pressure. This boy in front of them was actually able to take the wine tavern from Gu Yue Dong Tu’s hands. Such a method of snatching was shocking. So these people’s gazes towards Fang Yuan carried unease and fear.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan suddenly stopped, “It is good. But this store is a bit small.”</p>
<p>The old man immediately walked forward and bowed to answer, “Young lord, we put sheds outside every summer and lay tables and benches. But it is winter now and the wind is biting cold, no one would sit outside even if we put up sheds. So we took them down.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan slightly turned. He glanced at this old man, “You are the shopkeeper?”</p>
<p>The old bent his waist even lower and said even more respectfully, “I dare not, I dare not. Young lord, this wine tavern is yours, whoever you choose as a shopkeeper is the shopkeeper.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan nodded then glanced at the waiters; they all seemed to be competent.</p>
<p>If it was on earth, he would be anxious that this shopkeeper and the waiters would team up and scheme against him, the owner. But in this world, Gu Masters were high and mighty, killing mortals would only require a thought. Even if Uncle and Aunt egged them, these mortals wouldn’t dare to go against Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>“Alright, bring the accounting books and bring me a pot of tea.” Fang Yuan sat down.</p>
<p>“Yes, young lord.” The shopkeeper and waiters moved hurriedly.</p>
<p>There were as much as sixteen account books, and every book used bamboo papers which had a light green hue. The bamboo papers were more brittle than Xuan paper and were suitable for the damp atmosphere of the Southern Border.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan casually picked up a few books and skimmed over them, asking some questions occasionally.</p>
<p>The shopkeeper gave prompt replies; soon, his forehead was covered with sweat.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had created the Bloodwing Demon Sect and taught countless people in his previous life. He was rich in experience and his eyes were shrewd. Others might be confused and dazzled when they see the account books; but in his eyes, all the doubtful points were as clear as crystal.</p>
<p>This wine tavern was the second biggest asset after the Nine Leaf Vitality Grass; Fang Yuan naturally wanted to firmly grasp it.</p>
<p>There were only some small problems in the account books which could be attributed to mistakes and negligence. These mortals didn’t dare to be presumptuous.</p>
<p>However, when Fang Yuan turned to the last page, he saw that this month’s income had already been taken by Gu Yue Dong Tu.</p>
<p>“Young lord, the previous landlord personally took it. We didn’t dare to resist.” The shopkeeper replied while wiping his sweat. His aged body was already trembling and his face had become very pale.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was silent, he put down the account books on the table and glanced at the shopkeeper.</p>
<p>The shopkeeper immediately felt a huge pressure as if a mountain was pressing down on him. He was scared witless, kneeling on the ground.</p>
<p>Seeing the shopkeeper kneeling down, the waiters also astutely knelt down one by one.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan calmly sat and turned his gaze towards them.</p>
<p>The waiters immediately felt like they were in a world of ice, they couldn’t resist Fang Yuan’s aura. They were all silent.</p>
<p>To these mortals, the wine tavern’s work was both stable and safe, the ideal job. They didn’t want to lose this job.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan stopped upon seeing that his authority had been established, going too far could end up being detrimental. He slowly spoke, “I won’t bother about the past matters. I saw that your wages are somewhat low; waiter’s wages will be raised by twenty percent and the shopkeeper’s by forty percent from now on. Work properly and you will get more benefits.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan stood up and walked to the entrance.</p>
<p>The group of people kneeling on the ground were stunned for a good while before coming back to their senses. All of their eyes brimmed with tears that flowed down their faces.</p>
<p>“Thank you young lord for your great kindness!”</p>
<p>“Young lord is compassionate, we will definitely work with all our strength!”</p>
<p>“Young lord, you are our benefactor, please take care.”</p>
<p>Tearful sounds came from behind, there were also crisp sounds of forehead smashing on the black tiles from continuous kowtowing.</p>
<p>Use might alongside mercy, this was the only way the top controlled its subordinates no matter in which world. Might was the foundation and under this might, any small kindness would be magnified by countless times.</p>
<p>A benefit without might would only give a title of a good samaritan. But as time passed, people would no longer feel grateful for such kindness and it would instead result in greed and disaster.</p>
<p>“But these ways to control people are all unorthodox methods. It would be highly esteemed on Earth, but in this world, raising one’s own strength is the one true way. No, even on Earth, strength is first.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan thought of the Scarlet Red Imperial Ancestor.<a href="footnote.xhtml#fn0103_01" id="fn0103_01"><sup>1</sup></a></p>
<p>In those days, the Scarlet Red Imperial Ancestor had gone through and experienced a trial and he had come to a conclusion: Political power comes from guns!</p>
<p>This was the naked truth — strength was the foundation of any political power. So-called authority is only an accessory to strength.</p>
<p>Actually, not only authority, wealth and beauties were also derivatives of strength.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan headed towards the three bamboo houses after leaving the wine tavern.</p>
<p>These three bamboo houses were rented out by uncle and aunt; they were practically full.</p>
<p>This world paid attention to more birth. To the ever-growing huge population, the space in the village seemed narrow.</p>
<p>The clan had the system of the eldest son inheriting the property. Other sons and daughters would have to rely on their effort. Even if a lot of people relied on clan politics to get a meager split of the family assets and work hard outside, they might not even be able to save enough to buy a bamboo house in their whole life.</p>
<p>On one hand, raising Gu consumed a lot and on the other, the village had limited space, so the house prices were very expensive.</p>
<p>They could naturally build house outsides the village but that was not safe. Wild beasts and snakes would always roam around and could intrude into the houses. Above all, every time a beast tide occurred, all the houses outside the village would be destroyed.</p>
<p>Extending the village was the only way to solve this.</p>
<p>But extending meant the area to defend would increase and the village wouldn’t be able to defend against beast tide’s attacks. Moreover, if the area was big then it would be difficult to guard against and search for infiltrating Gu Masters of other villages.</p>
<p>Gu Yue village had extended several times in history but had been devastated by beast tides. After learning from this lesson, the current village size was already the largest.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan skimmed through it and after understanding some situations, he already got the picture.</p>
<p>These three bamboo houses were operated very well by Uncle and Aunt. The rent was also customized to get more profits, so he might as well just let it run like that. He calculated that the earnings from these three bamboo houses were not as much as the wine tavern but the difference was not much.</p>
<p>The overall situation was much better than Fang Yuan’s original expectations.</p>
<p>Just the day before yesterday, he was left with nothing and had become so poor that his primeval stones count didn’t even reach five. But now, all of a sudden, he rose to the list of richest people in the clan.</p>
<p>The female tenants in these rented houses were all Rank two female Gu Masters in difficulty. After knowing Fang Yuan’s identity, their gaze towards him turned amorous.</p>
<p>If they could be near to Fang Yuan and get married to him, then they would no longer have to rush about facing danger; their lives would be smooth and steady.</p>
<p>Such a life was what they were pursuing and using all their strength to fight for.</p>
<p>That is to say that if Fang Yuan wanted, he could retire and live a rich life now like his uncle used to.</p>
<p>With a tap of a finger, many female Gu Masters would flock to him.</p>
<p>“But that is not what I want.” Fang Yuan stood at the second floor of the bamboo house, letting female Gu Masters’ provocative gazes fall upon his body. He frowned as he held the railings and gazed afar.</p>
<p>Far away, stretched of green mountains went on continuously, looking like a sleeping giant with the gray-blue sky as its quilt.</p>
<p>The endless rivers and boundless earth, when can I move unhindered on them?</p>
<p>Amidst the winds of change, dragons and snakes rise from the lands<a href="footnote.xhtml#fn0103_02" id="fn0103_02"><sup>2</sup></a>, when can I look down upon all living things?</p>
<p>“Since rebirth, I have been drifting with the waves like a rootless duckweed. I spared no effort to get the family assets; with this base, I can be said to have become independent and gained my footing. Next would be to unearth the Flower Wine Monk’s inheritance and put all my effort in cultivating to Rank three, then I can leave this village and go out to the wide world!” Fire burned in Fang Yuan’s deep black eyes.</p>
<p>Qing Mao mountain was one of the countless mountains in the Southern Border. And the Southern Border was only a corner of this world.</p>
<p>Too small, too small! How could such a place sustain his lofty ambitions?</p>
<p>Compared to his ambitions, these family assets – which others were cracking their brains to obtain, which was a thing of yearning – was as tiny as dust.</p>
<p>“Big brother, come down, I need to talk to you.” At some point in time, Gu Yue Fang Zheng had reached the bamboo house. He looked up at Fang Yuan and yelled.</p>
<p>“Hmm?” Fang Yuan’s train of thoughts were broken, he looked down at Fang Zhen with an indifferent look.</p>
<p>The brothers’ eyes met; it was silent…</p>
<p>Younger brother Fang Zheng was downstairs and was shrouded by the shadow of another house. He was facing up; his eyebrows were raised and his two eyes were flickering with light.</p>
<p>Big brother Fang Yuan was upstairs; sunlight shone on him, his slightly drooping eyes had pupils as dark as night.</p>
<p>Similar faces reflected in each other’s eyes.</p>
<p>As to his little brother’s appearance, Fang Yuan wasn’t surprised. Fang Zheng was a weapon of Uncle and Aunt to fight for family assets.</p>
<p>And yet, so what?</p>
<p>Fang Yuan looked down at Fang Zheng, sighing inwardly, “A grade aptitude, but is nothing more than a pawn…truly insignificant.”</p>

<h1>Chapter 1030</h1>
<p>Fang Yuan had a peculiar expression, this was the first time he was hearing about Dog Shit Luck, this strange sounding Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>In the current situation, it was not a big deal to expose Spring Autumn Cicada.</p>
<p>Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals already knew about it, that meant the ten great ancient sects also knew of it, the entire world would basically know of it.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit continued: “It is a pity that this Spring Autumn Cicada is only rank six, if it were the former rank nine Spring Autumn Cicada, you would definitely obtain victory. Since Spring Autumn Cicada is in Ying Wu Xie’s hands, you cannot allow him to use it! But thankfully, I have quite a few time path methods. Spring Autumn Cicada is only rank six and I know who has it, it is quite easy to counter it.”</p>
<p>“Counter Spring Autumn Cicada?” Fang Yuan felt great interest, in fact, this was his biggest worry currently.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit said: “Spring Autumn Cicada is merely rank six, so be it if we do not know who owns it, but since we know, it is easy to deal with. It might be Red Lotus Demon Venerable’s vital Immortal Gu, but so what? There are only invincible Gu Masters, there are no invincible Gu worms. In the entire world, time path is not the strongest, all of the different paths have their strengths. But if we use time path methods, it would be more effective as a counter.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan heard this and nodded, feeling that Lang Ya land spirit’s words made a lot of sense.</p>
<p>Like just earlier, he used Spring Autumn Cicada to rebirth and was used by Shadow Sect after they deduced it.</p>
<p>This was a classic example of wisdom path countering time path.</p>
<p>Spring Autumn Cicada had its unique ability, but it was not invincible. Man is the spirit of all living beings, Gu are the essence of heaven and earth. The world was balanced, it made sense that Spring Autumn Cicada was countered by other methods.</p>
<p>“Since rebirth, I have been treating Spring Autumn Cicada as my greatest trump card. To think that I would need to deal with it one day.” Fang Yuan sighed internally.</p>
<p>When he was contacting Lang Ya land spirit, at the same time in Central Continent.</p>
<p>Ming Tang valley.</p>
<p>This valley that was bathed in light all year round was famous in Central Continent.</p>
<p>It was under control of Wind Cloud Manor and Heavenly Lotus Sect, two of the ten great ancient sects, it was famous in Central Continent for being among the best places to produce light path Gu worms.</p>
<p>This land of treasures was incredibly rich in light path dao marks, almost every twenty years, there would be wild light path Immortal Gu formed.</p>
<p>Deep in this Ming Tang valley, there was a hidden demonic path Gu Immortal.</p>
<p>Unmoving Mountain — Gong Sun Liang.</p>
<p>Suddenly, he opened his eyes from his deep sleep.</p>
<p>“Oh? Someone is calling me?” He muttered lightly, the suspicious expression on his face faded at once, turning into a serious and solemn expression.</p>
<p>His consciousness entered his immortal aperture as he used a special information path method to communicate.</p>
<p>“Boss, you want to borrow my Immortal Gu?”</p>
<p>On the other end, in a deep part of Earth Abyss, Ying Wu Xie answered: “Yes.”</p>
<p>Gong Sun Liang opened his eyes, without any sleepiness left. He was very hesitant, his gaze was flickering.</p>
<p>He was a demonic path Gu Immortal, he had been chased and suppressed by Central Continent’s righteous path, especially the ten great ancient sects.</p>
<p>He lived like a fugitive, during one of his near-fatal escapes, he fell into a trap and nearly died. At that time, he was saved by a mysterious man.</p>
<p>Gong Sun Liang not only kept his life, under the lead of the mysterious man, he joined a mysterious organization.</p>
<p>This organization was called — Defy.</p>
<p>The members of the organization were identified with numbers, they were very mysterious.</p>
<p>Gong Sun Liang had obtained much help from this organization. If not for that, he would not have been able to escape up until now, without getting caught by the ten great ancient sects.</p>
<p>As time passed, he saw the importance of this organization, and had some guesses towards the motives of this organization.</p>
<p>“This organization’s codename shows the time the person joined, and their status in the organization. Boss is at the top, he is the person who created ‘Defy’. He suddenly wants to borrow my Gu…”</p>
<p>After hesitating for a long time, Gong Sun Liang gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.</p>
<p>Central Continent, Great Heavenly Sword Sect.</p>
<p>Two sword path Gu Immortals, Miao Jun and Miao Yue, were discussing the matters of their sect.</p>
<p>Suddenly, Miao Jun’s body shook, he received the information that Ying Wu Xie sent.</p>
<p>Facing Ying Wu Xie’s request, Miao Jun was very hesitant, he said to Miao Yue: “The boss contacted me, he wants to borrow our Immortal Gu.”</p>
<p>Miao Yue frowned: “This boss is very mysterious. We have only joined Defy for a short time, we have not heard about the boss’ information. But the moment he contacted us, he wants to borrow Immortal Gu…”</p>
<p>Miao Jun nodded: “We joined Defy because we wanted their help. But earlier, when trying to leave Immortal Crane Sect, they did not provide us any help. And now, they want to borrow Immortal Gu from us, this boss is truly shameless.”</p>
<p>A few years ago, someone in Great Heavenly Sword Sect ascended to immortal.</p>
<p>Thus, this force had three Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>Great Heavenly Sword Sect was a subsidiary force of Immortal Crane Sect, after having three Gu Immortals, they wanted to get rid of their vassal status from Immortal Crane Sect.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, they did not succeed, Immortal Crane Sect’s plan worked and they lured their third Gu Immortal away.</p>
<p>After this matter, Great Heavenly Sword Sect was ‘taken care of’ by Immortal Crane Sect, Miao Jun and Miao Yue’s lives were getting tough.</p>
<p>The two wanted to borrow the strength of ‘Defy’, but their wishes were not granted, thus they were not happy.</p>
<p>As a result, Ying Wu Xie failed to borrow their Gu using his identity as the boss.</p>
<p>Bang!</p>
<p>In Earth Abyss, in a secret room, Ying Wu Xie slammed the table in front of him, smashing it.</p>
<p>“Hmph! Miao Jun, Miao Yue…” Ying Wu Xie gritted his teeth, his expression was dark.</p>
<p>This organization called Defy was created by Shadow Sect.</p>
<p>Central Continent was different from the other four regions, Heavenly Court ruled over it, its subsidiary forces, the ten great ancient sects, split up most of Central Continent’s resources and controlled it tightly.</p>
<p>Below the ten great ancient sects, there were countless forces trying to survive.</p>
<p>People looked up to bigger forces, who would not want to improve? Who would not want to expand their territory and obtain more resources for themselves?</p>
<p>Especially Gu Immortals, they had to face tribulations once in a while. Thus, Gu Immortals were forced to improve, otherwise, they would die from the calamities and tribulations.</p>
<p>It was not so easy to increase one’s strength.</p>
<p>One couldn’t cook a meal without the ingredients, the most important thing was the lack of resources.</p>
<p>But the ten great ancient sects had incredible strength, they occupied most resources. The other forces could not gather enough strength to influence their control.</p>
<p>People with aspirations noticed this and interacted with one another, forming all sorts of alliances.</p>
<p>But these alliances did not last long. Because Central Continent’s ten great ancient sects sowed discord between them, or the members of the alliance went into internal conflicts themselves.</p>
<p>Of course, the fundamental problem was insufficient strength to challenge Central Continent’s ten great ancient sects.</p>
<p>Shadow Sect thus secretly created the organization Defy, selecting the members carefully and getting stronger.</p>
<p>But this was only a casual move. Even the Shadow Sect member who created the organization Defy back then did not have much expectations.</p>
<p>The more members there were, the more inflated the organization was, and the more complex and hard to manage it was.</p>
<p>Furthermore, these members were not otherworldly demons, they were not even fate escapees. They could not be used to resist heaven’s will.</p>
<p>Thus, back then, Spectral Soul’s Gu refinement plan did not involve these people.</p>
<p>If he mobilized them, would they listen? Even if they did, there was a high chance that heaven’s will would make use of them, it was not worth it.</p>
<p>But at this moment, Shadow Sect’s plan failed, they were dealt a huge blow. After rebirth, Ying Wu Xie had to make use of the strength of Defy.</p>
<p>His experience in borrowing Gu was not very successful.</p>
<p>Most Gu Immortals gave lots of excuses.</p>
<p>Immortal Gu were very precious, the identities of the members of Defy were kept secret, they did not know each other, the organization was not strict in enforcement. How difficult would it be to borrow Gu?</p>
<p>Only people like Unmoving Mountain Gong Sun Liang, these demonic path Gu Immortals without any support would need to make use of Defy in order to escape from the pursuit of Central Continent’s righteous path, and avoid deductions.</p>
<p>He could not leave Defy, thus, even if he did not want to, he had to take a risk and lend the Immortal Gu to Ying Wu Xie.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie tried for a long time to borrow Gu, while Fang Yuan’s Gu worms were in the processing of self-detonating one by one.</p>
<p>Eventually, even though Ying Wu Xie managed to suppress them, and prevented the Gu worms from continuing to self-detonate, his losses were severe.</p>
<p>“Fang Yuan, good job! You are really resolute in cutting your losses.” In the darkness, Ying Wu Xie had a grim expression: “But only a person with your caliber would be able to obtain sovereign immortal fetus Gu, after all.”</p>
<p>After suppressing Fang Yuan’s Gu worms, Ying Wu Xie used the borrowed Immortal Gu to get rid of Fang Yuan’s fake will in his mind.</p>
<p>Just as he was about to continue and use the Immortal Gu to make Fang Yuan’s Gu worms his, he had a feeling as he noticed Hei Lou Lan’s actions.</p>
<p>Hei Lou Lan was sitting on a rock bed, opening her eyes.</p>
<p>She was frowning, as worry flashed across deeply in her eyes.</p>
<p>In the room, from a corner within the darkness, Ying Wu Xie’s voice could be heard: “Hei Lou Lan, you can stop trying. In this place, it is impossible for you to use connecting heaven Gu to reach treasure yellow heaven.”</p>
<p>Hei Lou Lan’s gaze shined, she was about to speak.</p>
<p>At this moment, Ying Wu Xie continued: “You don’t have to pretend and lie to me. I know you are suspicious of my identity, then I will tell you. That’s right, I am not Fang Yuan, I am Ying Wu Xie.”</p>
<p>Hei Lou Lan’s expression changed.</p>
<p>She was not Tai Bai Yun Sheng, she was not easy to fool.</p>
<p>After ‘Fang Yuan’ woke up, he acted strangely, Hei Lou Lan held back her suspicions because they had to use Fixed Immortal Travel to escape first.</p>
<p>But to think that Ying Wu Xie brought her here.</p>
<p>There was a super Gu formation here, the defenses were tight, actually preventing connecting heaven Gu from use, she could not connect to treasure yellow heaven.</p>
<p>After Hei Lou Lan failed to reach treasure yellow heaven, she realized that Ying Wu Xie’s identity was even more suspicious.</p>
<p>But now, Ying Wu Xie directly told her the truth, Hei Lou Lan did not know how to react.</p>
<p>“You know my identity.” Ying Wu Xie’s voice continued: “I am one of Spectral Soul Demon Venerable’s split souls, I took over Fang Yuan’s body. You have two choices now, one is to die, the other is to abandon Fang Yuan and join me.”</p>
<p>For Ying Wu Xie, Hei Lou Lan had the Great Strength True Martial Physique, and was someone who escaped fate, she was a high quality pawn.</p>
<p>But if Hei Lou Lan did not know what was good for her, he would kill her with no reservations. He could use Hei Lou Lan’s corpse to revive his current body.</p>
<p>Using the Gu formation here, Ying Wu Xie was completely confident in taking down Hei Lou Lan.</p>

<body>
<h1>Chapter 1031</h1>
<p>Hei Lou Lan was startled and furious.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie’s sudden declaration made her situation very passive.</p>
<p>Even though Hei Lou Lan did not know that Ying Wu Xie was one of Spectral Soul’s split souls, she had experienced the battle of Yi Tian Mountain, she was aware that Ying Wu Xie, Shadow Sect, and Spectral Soul were on the same side.</p>
<p>In the battle of Yi Tian Mountain, Hei Lou Lan’s aunts, Blazing Heaven Demoness and Fairy Li Shan, had died one after the other.</p>
<p>These two people were the only two remaining family members that Hei Lou Lan cared about.</p>
<p>As Shadow Sect was the culprit for killing Blazing Heaven Demoness and Fairy Li Shan, Hei Lou Lan’s hatred was immense.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie knew this but disregarded it, he directly approached her and forced Hei Lou Lan to surrender.</p>
<p>If she did not, he would kill her!</p>
<p>Even though Ying Wu Xie was in Fang Yuan’s body and was a rank six immortal zombie, he had the rank seven Gu Immortal Shi Nu with him, who had high battle strength. Most crucially, he had a super Gu formation set up here.</p>
<p>It was able to prevent Heavenly Court from investigating the place, and could resist the attacks of the wild beasts living in Earth Abyss. Being able to protect Bo Qing’s remnant soul for so many years, this Gu formation was extraordinary.</p>
<p>This was Ying Wu Xie’s greatest assurance.</p>
<p>Even though Ying Wu Xie was only a split soul, he had inherited Spectral Soul Demon Venerable’s killing nature and firm personality.</p>
<p>Hei Lou Lan’s expression was dark, deep hatred was flickering in her eyes.</p>
<p>“Since Ying Wu Xie is fearlessly challenging me, he surely has made preparations and is fully confident. The other party’s capabilities are unfathomable, and they have a close relationship with Spectral Soul Demon Venerable. If I resist, I would likely end up dead. I can only endure this and find a good opportunity later…”</p>
<p>While having such thoughts, Hei Lou Lan snorted, speaking: “Your Shadow Sect killed two of my family members, you want me to join you, aren’t you afraid I will betray you?”</p>
<p>“Hehehe.” Ying Wu Xie’s laughter could be heard: “What is there to fear?”</p>
<p>Pausing for a while, he continued: “Firstly, I am strong while you are weak, there is nothing to fear. Secondly, I have information path methods to restrict you using an alliance agreement. Thirdly, I understand your personality. You have not taken revenge yet, Hei Cheng is still alive, are you satisfied with this ending? Even if you already had killed Hei Cheng, you would endure this for now and cultivate, finding a chance to take revenge in the future.”</p>
<p>Hei Lou Lan was silent.</p>
<p>Hearing that Ying Wu Xie was so aware of her personality, Hei Lou Lan’s heart sank.</p>
<p>Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated, Hei Lou Lan did not expect Ying Wu Xie to know so much about her. In contrast, she knew nearly nothing about him.</p>
<p>This was caused by Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Back then, Old Man Yan Shi in Shadow Sect found out something wrong with Fang Yuan and used heavenly secret Gu to deduce matters about him.</p>
<p>As someone close to Fang Yuan, Hei Lou Lan was implicated, Shadow Sect collected information about her, deducing many details.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie originally did not know, but because of the Red Lotus true inheritance in the River of Time, he received the guidance of Spectral Soul’s will, he learned much about Hei Lou Lan.</p>
<p>Seeing Hei Lou Lan become silent, Ying Wu Xie showed great patience, he did not rush her.</p>
<p>There was only a hint of light in this simple room.</p>
<p>Hei Lou Lan’s entire body was nearly shrouded in darkness.</p>
<p>A long while later, she spoke: “You want to recruit me to deal with whom? If you want me to fight against Heavenly Court, you might as well kill me now.”</p>
<p>“Hahaha.” Ying Wu Xie laughed:” No need to probe me, Hei Lou Lan. I want to recruit you to deal with Fang Yuan!”</p>
<p>Bright light flashed in Hei Lou Lan’s eyes, her pitch became higher: “Oh, it seems Fang Yuan isn’t dead yet?”</p>
<p>“Not only did he survive, he has obtained great gains!” Hatred could not be concealed in Ying Wu Xie’s tone.</p>
<p>“You want to make use of me to harm Fang Yuan and take Hu Immortal blessed land for you?” Hei Lou Lan continued asking.</p>
<p>“Hmph.” Ying Wu Xie smiled coldly: “Fang Yuan’s Hu Immortal blessed land and Star Form blessed land should be empty already. The cultivation resources inside, including Dang Hun Mountain and Luo Po valley, were all moved to Lang Ya blessed land.”</p>
<p>“Lang Ya blessed land?”</p>
<p>“Hehe, it is the place where you and Fairy Li Shan fought against Qin Bai Sheng, Hei Cheng, and Jiang Yu. Why? Fang Yuan didn’t tell you?” Ying Wu Xie asked.</p>
<p>Hei Lou Lan sank into silence.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie continued: “Lang Ya blessed land was the immortal aperture left behind by Long Hair Ancestor. It is a former grotto-heaven that had fallen to a blessed land. But its foundation is so abundant that it could be said to be the number one blessed land in the five regions. Imperial Court blessed land is already destroyed, no other blessed lands can match it.”</p>
<p>“Fang Yuan not only moved his resources into Lang Ya blessed land, he even joined Lang Ya Sect, betraying humans and becoming the lackey of hairy men.”</p>
<p>Hei Lou Lan heard this and her gaze flickered.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie seemed to know her thoughts, he continued speaking with a smile: “You guessed right. I have an insider in Lang Ya blessed land. I know everything that happens inside Lang Ya blessed land. Fang Yuan will not be running around for long, you can only survive by joining me.”</p>
<p>The sights of Yi Tian Mountain appeared in Hei Lou Lan’s mind again.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul’s gigantic body was deeply ingrained in her mind.</p>
<p>“Spectral Soul Demon Venerable…” Hei Lou Lan muttered internally, she gradually closed her eyes, saying solemnly: “The circumstances are not in my favor, I will join you. But I will remind you, even if you want me to deal with Fang Yuan, we still have an active alliance agreement.”</p>
<p>“Merely an alliance agreement, I can get rid of it for you easily.” Ying Wu Xie said confidently.</p>
<p>But Hei Lou Lan said: “Are you sure? Back then, when we made the alliance agreement, it was stated very clearly, if any side breaks the alliance agreement, the other party would not need to follow it anymore.”</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie felt that this was turning troublesome: “Oh? So if I help you get rid of the alliance agreement, I will be helping Fang Yuan indirectly?”</p>
<p>Hei Lou Lan nodded: “Precisely.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had included this line back then because he was afraid of Fairy Li Shan secretly removing the alliance agreement. After all, she primarily cultivated information path, Fang Yuan had to guard against her.</p>
<p>But things changed too quickly, unexpected events happened in life.</p>
<p>Fairy Li Shan died, and Ying Wu Xie wanted to help Hei Lou Lan remove the alliance agreement.</p>
<p>“The essence of alliance agreements is the use of information path methods to leave information path dao marks on both the body and the soul. To remove the alliance agreement, I have to get rid of the information path dao marks.” Ying Wu Xie thought.</p>
<p>“It is very easy for me to get rid of Hei Lou Lan’s information path dao marks, using this super Gu formation and my Gu worms, I can accomplish it. But this way, I will be helping Fang Yuan too.”</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie did not want that.</p>
<p>In his opinion, the best situation would be that Hei Lou Lan was free from the alliance agreement, while Fang Yuan was still restricted by it.</p>
<p>In this way, he could use Hei Lou Lan to deal with Fang Yuan, he would have a huge advantage.</p>
<p>“Actually, it is not impossible to achieve that. As long as I can find the corresponding information path dao marks and remove them first.”</p>
<p>On Hei Lou Lan’s body, there had to be one or multiple information path dao marks that represented the condition, ‘if one side breaks the alliance agreement, the other party did not need to follow it’.</p>
<p>And these information path dao marks had to be related to the other information path dao marks.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie only needed to remove these information path dao marks first, before removing the others to achieve the result that he wanted. In the future, he could use this alliance agreement to restrict Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>“But to do that, it is very difficult…” Ying Wu Xie was frowning more deeply.</p>
<p>Using an inappropriate analogy, the alliance agreement between Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan was like two interlinked bombs strapped onto them.</p>
<p>Whichever side broke the alliance agreement would cause their bomb to explode, and they would suffer a severe punishment.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie had the ability to remove Hei Lou Lan’s bomb now, but that would cause Fang Yuan’s bomb to deactivate as well.</p>
<p>This was not what Ying Wu Xie wanted.</p>
<p>But to get the result he wanted, he needed to get rid of Hei Lou Lan’s bomb while finding that crucial wire or multiple wires to remove first.</p>
<p>It was very difficult to do that.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie did not have the attainment level, and he did not have corresponding Immortal Gu either.</p>
<p>“Damn it… this Fang Yuan does things so flawlessly!” Ying Wu Xie felt stifled internally.</p>
<p>If it were before the battle of Yi Tian Mountain, it would be easy for him to do this. He only needed to ask the other members of Shadow Sect to do it, there was even Spectral Soul’s main body!</p>
<p>But the situation now was different from the past.</p>
<p>After the battle of Yi Tian Mountain, Shadow Sect’s plan failed, they faced massive losses, only a small portion of their forces were left in the five regions.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie knew that even if he rebuilt Shadow Sect and combined all of the remaining forces, he could not reach its former level again.</p>
<p>“In this way, Hei Lou Lan’s value is greatly diminished. Should I kill her and turn her into a Great Strength True Martial immortal zombie, allowing me to obtain a life-and-death immortal aperture to revive?”</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie had an idea.</p>
<p>But after considering it, he gave up on the idea.</p>
<p>“Reviving with a life-and-death immortal aperture has a huge flaw, if I am unlucky, the immortal aperture might explode. I might as well use normal immortal zombies to create a stable life-and-death immortal aperture.”</p>
<p>Thinking about the life-and-death immortal aperture, Ying Wu Xie naturally thought about sovereign immortal fetus Gu.</p>
<p>At once, he gritted his teeth, feeling his hatred towards Fang Yuan intensify.</p>
<p>After Shadow Sect created the life-and-death immortal aperture revival method, they had performed many experiments and found lots of problems with it. Next, they paid a huge price to modify it step by step. Eventually, even Spectral Soul’s main body joined in, using the essence of human path, transformation path, and heaven path to create the Immortal Gu recipe for sovereign immortal fetus Gu.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan snatched sovereign immortal fetus Gu and obtained the nine-five sovereign immortal aperture, he ascended to heaven in a single leap!</p>
<p>Shadow Sect’s countless years of effort and hard work had turned to nothing.</p>
<p>Such deep hatred could not be expressed in words.</p>
<p>“Forget it, I should let Hei Lou Lan off. I am too short on manpower now, Hei Lou Lan’s aptitude is great, she can be a very good lackey.”</p>
<p>“Fang Yuan! You will end up in my hands one day, by then, I will pull out all of your tendons, I will use every inch of flesh and skin on your body to refine the sovereign immortal fetus Gu again!!”</p>

<h1>Chapter 1032</h1>
<p>“Well? Have you considered it? You are an external supreme elder of Lang Ya Sect, you can use your sect contribution points to exchange for the method.” Lang Ya land spirit smiled.</p>
<p>Over in Central Continent, Hei Lou Lan was forced by Ying Wu Xie and had no choice but to submit, Fang Yuan did not know this and was contacting Lang Ya land spirit.</p>
<p>Speaking of the method to counter Spring Autumn Cicada, Lang Ya land spirit was indeed formed from Long Hair Ancestor, he had a deep foundation.</p>
<p>In their earlier conversation, Fang Yuan was shocked to find out that Lang Ya land spirit had more than ten methods! All of them were effective in dealing with Spring Autumn Cicada.</p>
<p>These methods involved many aspects, with so many choices, at this moment, Fang Yuan felt a bit uncertain.</p>
<p>But he quickly focused his mind, asking as he thought of something: “I have a question, how many sect contribution points do I have?”</p>
<p>“Three hundred!” Lang Ya land spirit hesitated for a moment before answering.</p>
<p>“Three hundred…” Fang Yuan frowned, he knew that he had not done anything for Lang Ya Sect yet after joining it. This amount of sect contribution was obtained because he had lent Dang Hun Mountain, Luo Po valley, and wisdom Gu to Lang Ya land spirit.</p>
<p>However, either of Dang Hun Mountain, Luo Po valley, or wisdom Gu were unparalleled things, they were only worth three hundred sect contribution points?</p>
<p>Immediately, Fang Yuan had some suspicion, but he did not question him, he asked in a roundabout manner: “First supreme elder, I am not sure how your three hundred points were calculated, I would like you to explain for me.”</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit heard Fang Yuan call him ‘first supreme elder’ and felt very pleased internally.</p>
<p>He said frankly: “This is very simple. Dang Hun Mountain counts as a hundred, Luo Po valley counts as a hundred, and wisdom Gu is also a hundred.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s tone became lower: “Wisdom Gu is a rank nine Immortal Gu, why is it worth the same number as Dang Hun Mountain and Luo Po valley?”</p>
<p>“No need to be suspicious.” Lang Ya land spirit quickly answered: “You lent all three of them to the sect, but my Lang Ya Sect has to bear the expenditure of the earth qi, and the feeding of wisdom Gu. Three hundred sect contribution points are given to you according to the rules in the sect. I know that fairness is required for a sect to grow, don’t worry, we will not shortchange whatever is rightfully yours, but we will also not give you extra that you did not earn.”</p>
<p>After pausing for a while, Lang Ya land spirit continued: “Of course, if you contributed them to the sect, the contribution points would be much higher! It is possible for you to become the first supreme elder of the sect as well.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan heard this and couldn’t help but feel excitement.</p>
<p>Becoming the first supreme elder of Lang Ya Sect, wouldn’t he obtain the highest authority? Even if he was not the owner of Lang Ya blessed land, he would be able to mobilize the hairy man Gu Immortals inside Lang Ya blessed land, right?</p>
<p>But quickly, Lang Ya land spirit said: “But for you to become the first supreme elder, you need to get rid of your human status and become a true hairy man. Only an exceptional hairy man can be the leader of the hairy men!”</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit’s tone was full of confidence towards the ideology of hairy man rulership.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan dispelled his earlier thoughts.</p>
<p>He had no doubt that Lang Ya land spirit had methods to turn humans into hairy men. But if Fang Yuan became a hairy man, the price was too great.</p>
<p>Most fundamentally, the current trend of human dominance could not be overturned. Hairy men and other variant humans, even if they became immortals, would be pushed aside and ostracized.</p>
<p>Furthermore, hairy men and the other variant humans were flawed to begin with, they could not become rank nine venerables.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan aspired to reach immortality, cultivation was only a tool. But evidently, the higher his cultivation level, the closer he would be to this goal.</p>
<p>This logic was simple. Between an ant and a tree, which one was closer to eternal life?</p>
<p>Fang Yuan only had three hundred sect contribution points, Lang Ya land spirit calculated the amount very precisely. He did not give Fang Yuan one point less or one point more.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan sensed keenly that these three hundred sect contribution points were very precious, they had great value, if he used them wisely, they would be a huge help towards him!</p>
<p>Thus, after he thought over it, he did not spend these contribution points rashly to obtain one of the ways to counter Spring Autumn Cicada.</p>
<p>At the other end, Lang Ya land spirit said: “Sect contribution points are meant to be used. Don’t be too stingy with them, we have many sect missions for you. As long as you complete one, your sect contribution points will increase.”</p>
<p>“Oh? What kinds of missions?” Fang Yuan asked lightly.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit wanted to make use of Fang Yuan’s strength, he naturally explained them to him.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan soon shook his head, disappointment was all over his face.</p>
<p>These sect missions were split into two types. One was to collect Gu refinement materials, the other was to spar with the hairy man Gu Immortals and nurture their fighting skills.</p>
<p>Earlier, after Qin Bai Sheng and the rest attacked Lang Ya blessed land, Lang Ya land spirit turned from the shape of a human and white haired land spirit to a hairy man and black haired land spirit, the management of Lang Ya blessed land had changed drastically.</p>
<p>The black haired land spirit wanted hairy men to be the rulers, the overlords of the Gu world, to trample on humans and all other races.</p>
<p>Thus, he tried to train his hairy man Gu Immortals, wanting to raise their battle strength.</p>
<p>Before this, these hairy man Gu Immortals only knew how to refine Gu, they did not even train normally, their battle strength could not be said to even be at the dregs.</p>
<p>Currently, Fang Yuan did not have the time to help the black haired land spirit search for Gu refinement materials, or be the nanny of the hairy man Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>“How about this, first supreme elder, I lack Gu worms now. Could you buy some Southern Border Gu worms from treasure yellow heaven and inspect to check that they are not tampered with. If they are fine, send them over to me.” Fang Yuan changed the topic, listing his needs.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit did not reject this.</p>
<p>Batches of Gu worms quickly passed through connecting heaven Gu via treasure yellow heaven, reaching Fang Yuan’s sovereign immortal aperture.</p>
<p>The first batch was a large number of mortal Gu, including wine sack flower Gu, rice pouch grass Gu, spring water Gu, eating wind drinking dew Gu and others.</p>
<p>The situation now was different.</p>
<p>Earlier, Fang Yuan was an immortal zombie, he did not need to eat.</p>
<p>But now that he had revived, his body was alive, he needed to consume food and water.</p>
<p>Even Gu Immortals would die if they did not eat. Unless they had the relevant food path dao marks.</p>
<p>Other than these food path mortal Gu, there was also some clothing Gu.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was not satisfied with fire cape Gu and flying smoke Gu, the effect of the flames was too eye catching, they were unnecessary.</p>
<p>After acquiring these clothing Gu, he immediately changed his clothes.</p>
<p>There were also Gu for housing.</p>
<p>For example, the wood path Gu worm, three star cave.</p>
<p>After it was used, it would turn into a tree house with space in the trunk.</p>
<p>The second batch provided was moving perspective cup Gu and stargate Gu.</p>
<p>It was not safe to use treasure yellow heaven.</p>
<p>Treasure yellow heaven was an open market, it was not a secret channel.</p>
<p>Moving perspective cup Gu used the Space Door to transport objects, it bypassed the five region’s regional walls, it was a superb mortal Gu!</p>
<p>Be it the moving perspective cup Gu recipe or stargate Gu recipe, Lang Ya land spirit had already obtained them from Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>According to the previous Lang Ya land spirit’s personality, he would have refined a lot of them.</p>
<p>Thus, these two Gu worms were directly taken out from Lang Ya blessed land. Once they entered treasure yellow heaven, the two Gu worms shined with bright treasure light, it drew the attention of many Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>They were mortal Gu, but the treasure light was really very bright, it was out of the ordinary.</p>
<p>This special situation drew the attention of many Gu Immortals, they went to ask but Lang Ya land spirit rejected them.</p>
<p>The third batch was also mortal Gu, they came from Lang Ya Sect’s storage, Fang Yuan wanted to use them to test his sovereign immortal aperture.</p>
<p>The earlier tests were only observations on the surface.</p>
<p>To learn about the secrets of the sovereign immortal aperture, he needed to use Gu worms as tools.</p>
<p>The fourth batch was the main objective.</p>
<p>Sword Immortal Bo Qing’s sword path Immortal Gu!</p>
<p>Fang Yuan stole quite a number of Immortal Gu from immortal zombie Bo Qing, he used the light of wisdom and wisdom path methods to deceive these Immortal Gu temporarily, as he gradually refined them.</p>
<p>Before joining the battle of Yi Tian Mountain, he only managed to refine change soul Immortal Gu. And during the crucial moment in the battle of Yi Tian Mountain, he used it to turn the situation around.</p>
<p>Right now, change soul Immortal Gu was still in Fang Yuan’s hands.</p>
<p>As for the other sword path Immortal Gu, they were filled with Bo Qing’s will, they were much harder to refine compared to change soul Immortal Gu. They were left inside Hu Immortal blessed land, and were not brought to Yi Tian Mountain by Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>After all, these Immortal Gu were not refined, they could not be used even if they were brought.</p>
<p>As it turned out, it was lucky that Fang Yuan did not bring them.</p>
<p>Otherwise, according to what happened, these Immortal Gu would be left in his body and become Ying Wu Xie’s property.</p>
<p>These sword path Immortal Gu were the rank eight wisdom sword Gu, rank seven sword escape Gu. Rank seven sword eyebrows Gu and rank seven flying sword Gu.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit only sent sword escape Immortal Gu and flying sword Gu over to Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>The two of them made an instant transaction.</p>
<p>At the first moment, Fang Yuan used a rock that he picked up to buy sword escape Immortal Gu and flying sword Gu.</p>
<p>“The treasure light is hundreds of meters tall, what happened?”</p>
<p>“Transaction of Immortal Gu!!”</p>
<p>“How is this possible?”</p>
<p>“I saw it earlier. Someone bought two rank seven Immortal Gu immediately, they were so fast that no one could react.”</p>
<p>“Buying two rank seven Immortal Gu? Heavens! I do not even have a single rank six Immortal Gu, who is that rich?”</p>
<p>The earlier few batches of Gu worms had already attracted some attention. With this transfer, involving Immortal Gu, heated discussions were occurring in treasure yellow heaven!</p>
<p>The trading of Immortal Gu was usually done through exchanges of Immortal Gu, they were rare even in treasure yellow heaven.</p>
<p>Thus, Fang Yuan and Lang Ya land spirit’s transaction was like a rock that was thrown into a calm lake, ripples formed immediately.</p>
<p>“Two Immortal Gu… each having around three hundred meters of treasure light. But the other party paid with a rock.” A lucky Gu Immortal who witnessed the transaction transmitted using his divine sense.</p>
<p>This information caused more heated discussion between Gu Immortals again.</p>
<p>“Impossible!”</p>
<p>“A rock? Are you kidding me?”</p>
<p>“This is not a normal transaction, they are using treasure yellow heaven to transfer Gu worms.”</p>
<p>“Even if they are transporting Immortal Gu, it is very rare. Treasure yellow heaven’s fee is charged according to the treasure light’s height.”</p>
<p>At once, countless divine senses conversed in treasure yellow heaven, the wills of many Gu Immortals were engaging in conversation enthusiastically.</p>
<p>The commotion was similar to a mortal fish market.</p>
<p>Because of Fang Yuan and Lang Ya land spirit, the entirety of treasure yellow heaven was in chaos.</p>

<h1>Chapter 1033</h1>
<p>Southern Border, on the peak of a nameless mountain.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan held sword escape Immortal Gu in his left hand, and flying sword Gu in his right hand.</p>
<p>He observed them.</p>
<p>Sword escape Immortal Gu was like a golden bee, while flying sword Immortal Gu was like a silver winged dragonfly.</p>
<p>Both had their merits.</p>
<p>The first was a movement Immortal Gu, it was extremely fast, not inferior to the rank seven qi escape Immortal Gu. The second was very famous in history, it was Bo Qing’s most used offensive and defensive Gu worm.</p>
<p>The aura of rank seven was oozing.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan smiled as he stored the two Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>After Yi Tian Mountain, the sword path Immortal Gu were all successfully refined under the light of wisdom, becoming Fang Yuan’s Gu.</p>
<p>These two Immortal Gu were among them, Fang Yuan could use them now.</p>
<p>With these two Immortal Gu, Fang Yuan felt more assured about his safety.</p>
<p>Earlier, he had attitude Gu, change soul Immortal Gu, and unravel mystery Immortal Gu, he lacked movement and attacking methods. With these two Immortal Gu now, Fang Yuan’s weakness was alleviated, his battle strength surged!</p>
<p>If he met Huo Kong Dong again, Fang Yuan could use his Immortal Gu to kill him.</p>
<p>He had stopped using connecting heaven Gu.</p>
<p>Because Lang Ya land spirit sent Sword Escape and Flying Sword, two rank seven Immortal Gu, treasure yellow heaven was in a commotion, more and more Gu Immortals were joining in and discussing the matter.</p>
<p>In the Gu Immortal world, rank six Gu Immortals were the majority.</p>
<p>And among them, a large portion did not have any rank six Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>Thus, this transaction that involved two rank seven Immortal Gu had such a huge impact.</p>
<p>Treasure yellow heaven was an open market, secrets could not be kept. Fang Yuan had no choice but to use treasure yellow heaven to transport his Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>After obtaining two sword path Immortal Gu, he stopped using connecting heaven Gu, allowing treasure yellow heaven to dwell in that commotion on its own.</p>
<p>Using moving perspective cup Gu, he continued to communicate with Lang Ya land spirit.</p>
<p>“Just now, you spent thirty sect contribution points.” Lang Ya land spirit said.</p>
<p>It was not free to use treasure yellow heaven to transport Gu worms.</p>
<p>Treasure yellow heaven would take a cut from every transaction. According to the treasure light, the higher it was, the larger the processing fee.</p>
<p>The processing fee was paid by Lang Ya land spirit, he converted them into sect contribution points in Lang Ya Sect and deducted them from Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Thus, Fang Yuan’s sect contribution points fell, he had two hundred and seventy left.</p>
<p>Of course, a portion of the thirty points had been used on Fang Yuan’s purchase of different mortal Gu.</p>
<p>“I want to talk to you about the trade of guts Gu.” Fang Yuan replied.</p>
<p>This discussion took a long time.</p>
<p>Only until late at night, both sides came to a detailed agreement, concluding their negotiation.</p>
<p>Trade of guts Gu!</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s eyes shone, excitement was still lingering on his face.</p>
<p>The winds of night blew, they were cold but were unable to extinguish the fire inside him.</p>
<p>All along, Fang Yuan’s guts Gu trade had been restricted by the number of hairy man slaves.</p>
<p>Because guts Gu needed airsac Gu as the container to leave Dang Hun Mountain, and to be sold outside. But airsac Gu needed Hei Lou Lan’s strength qi Immortal Gu as the Gu refinement material, and the hairy man slaves needed to refine it continuously.</p>
<p>Now, Hei Lou Lan was missing, and strength qi Immortal Gu was not with Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>But this was okay. Long ago, Fang Yuan had used the light of wisdom to deduce a new recipe. He had been keeping it a secret because he wanted to maintain his cooperation with Hei Lou Lan.</p>
<p>Therefore, the number of hairy man slaves was the main limitation towards this trade.</p>
<p>And it was very difficult to increase the number of hairy man slaves.</p>
<p>Firstly, hairy man slaves were the most expensive among variant human slaves in treasure yellow heaven. Especially those skilled in refinement, they were even pricier.</p>
<p>Secondly, the process of refining Gu was filled with danger, hairy man slaves would die during the process. Thus, even though Fang Yuan replenished many hairy man slaves, inside Hu Immortal blessed land, their numbers did not increase.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan wanted to raise his own hairy men, but because he did not have the methods to do so, he could not execute this idea.</p>
<p>But right now!</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had joined Lang Ya Sect.</p>
<p>How many hairy men were there in Lang Ya blessed land?</p>
<p>It was an unimaginable number.</p>
<p>This blessed land was perhaps the most populous location for hairy men in the whole five regions.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had his motives in lending Dang Hun Mountain and Luo Po valley to Lang Ya Sect.</p>
<p>Using the vast number of hairy men in Lang Ya blessed land to refine airsac Gu for him, the number of guts Gu produced would far exceed Fang Yuan’s previous scale, his profits would rise to an unprecedented level.</p>
<p>“As long as it is inside treasure yellow heaven, even if Central Continent attempts to suppress it, so what? The trade of guts Gu will not be affected.”</p>
<p>“I am really excited. According to our negotiation, even if Lang Ya Sect takes more than half of the benefits, my profits each month from the guts Gu trade would reach six thousand immortal essence stones!”</p>
<p>Before this, Fang Yuan’s total profits, including his other businesses, only reached two thousand immortal essence stones a month.</p>
<p>Now that he joined Lang Ya Sect, with just the guts Gu trade, he could obtain six thousand immortal essence stones a month.</p>
<p>This was a number that many rank six Gu Immortals could not imagine!</p>
<p>After rebirth, Fang Yuan had joined Lang Ya Sect after deep and careful consideration.</p>
<p>Firstly, one day, when Fang Yuan faces the pursuit of the entire world, which place was more reliable than Lang Ya blessed land? Others were targeting Fang Yuan’s Giant Sun true inheritance, but they were also after Lang Ya blessed land. After Lang Ya land spirit transformed, he wanted to strengthen the hairy man race, he was a natural ally for Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Secondly, Lang Ya blessed land was very powerful, it resisted seven waves of attacks in the five hundred years of his previous life.</p>
<p>Thirdly, Lang Ya land spirit could not lie, Fang Yuan would easily sense it should he decide to turn on him.</p>
<p>With these three reasons, Fang Yuan joined Lang Ya Sect.</p>
<p>Indeed, on the first night after reviving, he obtained a huge benefit.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan not only used Lang Ya land spirit to solve his dangerous situation, he even used Lang Ya blessed land’s foundation to increase his wealth.</p>
<p>“I have passed the weakest period after revival. Now, I need to inspect my nine-five sovereign immortal aperture.”</p>
<p>This was a night without stars in the sky, cold winds were blowing.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan entered the house Gu, after eating food, he inspected his immortal aperture.</p>
<p>With so many mortal Gu, his efficiency in inspecting it was higher.</p>
<p>It was a sleepless night.</p>
<p>Around dawn, Fang Yuan left the three star cave Gu, seeing the start of the sunrise.</p>
<p>Southern Border was mountainous and foggy, when the sun rises, it would make the direction where it was facing look like a burning cloud.</p>
<p>As the sun rose, the first light of dawn could be seen as golden-red traces.</p>
<p>Soon, light burst out, bringing heat along with it, like metal that had just come out of the furnace.</p>
<p>The morning sun ascended slowly, the clouds between the mountain peaks were moving about, beautiful lights were created after the rays of sunlight hit them, there were gorgeous red clouds in the sky.</p>
<p>In Fang Yuan’s heart, a grand feeling of ambition was brewing.</p>
<p>“Ambitious mountains with steps firm as steel, taking large strides with unwavering determination. Taking risks to obtain the essence of the universe, my heart still seeks to rise beyond heaven.”</p>
<p>As he recited, Fang Yuan opened his arms like a bird, jumping down the cliff before ascending rapidly. It was as if he was stepping on the clouds, flying towards the south-east direction.</p>
<p>After this night, he gained a greater understanding of the sovereign immortal aperture.</p>
<p>The immortal aperture had a huge space of over 335000km<sup>2</sup>. Not just that, there were rich time path resources, one day in the outside world was two months inside the sovereign immortal aperture.</p>
<p>Hei Lou Lan’s aperture, with her having the Great Strength True Martial Physique, was only at a one to thirty-eight ratio with the outside world’s time.</p>
<p>But Fang Yuan’s sovereign immortal aperture was one to sixty, it greatly exceeded that of Hei Lou Lan.</p>
<p>But compared to the space in the immortal aperture, the time path aspect was not as impressive.</p>
<p>But this was a huge relief to Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>When the time flow in the immortal aperture was fast, calamities and tribulations would occur more frequently, and Fang Yuan would have bigger problems dealing with them.</p>
<p>Perhaps Spectral Soul had considered this point when he was refining the Gu, at a ratio of one to sixty, it surpassed super grade blessed lands, but was not too exaggerated, Fang Yuan could handle it, although with difficulty.</p>
<p>Other than time path resources, Fang Yuan also found sixteen beads of green grape immortal essence in his sovereign immortal aperture.</p>
<p>An immortal aperture that was alive was different from a dead one, it could produce immortal essence.</p>
<p>Sixteen beads of immortal essence in a day, that meant four hundred and eighty in a month, it was extraordinary, far surpassing Fang Yuan’s previous life.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan also found that his body was full of dao marks.</p>
<p>These dao marks were of all paths. Fire path, water path, wood path, light path, dark path… even poison path and luck path were encompassed within.</p>
<p>What shocked Fang Yuan more was that these dao marks were not just high in variety, they were also of a large quantity.</p>
<p>He could vaguely estimate that on average, each path had around a hundred dao marks.</p>
<p>A hundred dao marks could amplify the effect of Gu worms by ten percent.</p>
<p>No wonder Fang Yuan could use the fire path fire cape Gu and flying smoke Gu to such an extent.</p>
<p>But this discovery did not make Fang Yuan happy, he felt a bit grim.</p>
<p>Gu Immortals usually pursued one type of dao mark.</p>
<p>Because dao marks could amplify the effect of Gu worms, they could also weaken and counteract them.</p>
<p>For example, when a Gu Immortal who cultivates water path and has water path dao marks all over their body uses a fire path mortal Gu, the effect would be worse than a mortal Gu Master.</p>
<p>Even if Gu Immortals cultivated more than one path, they would choose one to be primarily used.</p>
<p>This was common sense in the Gu Immortal world.</p>
<p>“But strangely, I used the mortal Gu of so many paths, but I did not feel any resistance and weakening from the dao marks of other paths. In fact, the amplification is working normally. This goes against the logic of the cultivation world, what is going on?”</p>
<p>“There is another point, any Gu Master who ascends to immortal has a vital Gu. But my sovereign immortal aperture does not have one. What is going on?”</p>
<p>Towards the mystical properties of the sovereign immortal aperture, the deeper Fang Yuan explored it, the more questions appeared in his mind.</p>
<p>“I have already used all my methods for yesterday’s investigation. It seems that to understand the mysteries behind the sovereign immortal aperture, I need to get answers from Spectral Soul, Shadow Sect and Ying Wu Xie.”</p>
<p>“But near Yi Tian Mountain, the changes are too large, with the dream realm manifested, Southern Border Gu Immortals would seal it up and turn it into a forbidden area for outsiders. And I also do not know Ying Wu Xie’s location.”</p>
<p>“Forget it, the matter at hand is to find Southern Border’s current generation Ni Xiang!”</p>

<h1>Chapter 1034</h1>
<p>Southern Border, Rotten Mud Mountain.</p>
<p>It was noon, the sun was high in the air, it was a clear sky with no clouds in sight.</p>
<p>At a certain area in a forest at the back of Rotten Mud Mountain, a youngster was fighting with a mature bear.</p>
<p>The atmosphere was tense.</p>
<p>The bear stood as tall as three meters in height, it had a bulky body and brown fur which was thick and shiny. At this moment, the bear was opening its mouth, revealing its sharp teeth as its red eyes stared at the young man with a ruthless look.</p>
<p>The young man who was facing this bear was only fifteen or sixteen years old.</p>
<p>He was only five and a half feet tall, compared to the bear, he was tiny and weak.</p>
<p>But the young man’s eyes were shining with vigor, he dared to face the bear head on, without any fear.</p>
<p>Roar!</p>
<p>The brown bear growled, opening its mouth and pouncing at the young man.</p>
<p>The brown bear might look clumsy and heavy, but any experienced hunter would know that it had incredible explosive strength.</p>
<p>When the brown bear moves from a still position, its speed rises rapidly as it pushes forward!</p>
<p>The young man only felt a gust of wind as the bear suddenly arrived in front of him.</p>
<p>The young man’s expression did not change, he activated his Gu worm during the crucial moment.</p>
<p>His movement Gu allowed him to move away by a certain distance.</p>
<p>The brown bear missed its target, it crashed into the tree behind the young man.</p>
<p>With a loud sound, the thick tree trunk was snapped by the brown bear.</p>
<p>With the falling of the tree, another loud sound was heard as it slammed on the ground.</p>
<p>The surrounding birds flew away in panic.</p>
<p>The young man let out a breath of cold air, thinking: Thankfully, I dodged in time. If this bear hit me directly, even if I had defensive Gu worms, my bones would break and I would suffer heavy injuries.</p>
<p>However, after dodging this attack, the battle tilted in favor of the young man.</p>
<p>The young man’s eyes shined brightly, he cried out: “Stupid bear, feel the power of my sword qi Gu!”</p>
<p>Before he finished speaking, he had already stretched out his middle and index fingers on his right hand, pointing at the brown bear.</p>
<p>The next moment.</p>
<p>Whoosh.</p>
<p>With a soft sound, a burst of pale white translucent sword qi shot out of the young man’s fingers.</p>
<p>The sword qi flew through the air, hitting the brown bear’s back.</p>
<p>But there was the aura of wild Gu on the brown bear. The fur on its back turned firm, becoming hard plates.</p>
<p>The sword qi hit the hard plates and made a buzzing sound, as the sword qi dispersed.</p>
<p>The brown bear’s bulky body was completely uninjured.</p>
<p>It shook its head as it recovered from the dizziness earlier, it turned around towards the young man.</p>
<p>The young man was dumbfounded.</p>
<p>“What? This bear has a wild defensive Gu. How can my sword qi Gu hit it? Grandpa, did you intentionally put the wild Gu on that brown bear?” The young man shouted.</p>
<p>“Hehehe, grandson, I walked along the mountain’s paths for over ten li to find this brown bear. It is a great opponent for you.” From the tree branches, a voice said this.</p>
<p>It turned out that the young man’s grandfather had been sitting on top of the tree, watching his grandson fight this brown bear.</p>
<p>The young man’s strongest method was sword qi Gu.</p>
<p>But against the brown bear, it had little effect. Each sword qi could only shave off some of the bear’s fur.</p>
<p>There was no choice, the young man could only dodge everywhere.</p>
<p>The brown bear attacked fiercely, but it was a beast, it did not have enough intelligence.</p>
<p>Even though the young man could not defeat the bear, he was agile and had much experience. Because of that, he dodged everywhere while causing the bear to crash into trees while fighting.</p>
<p>Seeing the young man’s difficult state, the grandfather laughed: “Rascal, do you know sword qi Gu’s weakness now? It attacks by piercing, once it is countered, you will waste your primeval essence with no damage dealt. Come, catch this Gu.”</p>
<p>Saying this, the grandfather tossed a Gu worm to the young man.</p>
<p>In order to receive the Gu worm, the young man was almost hit by the brown bear, he tumbled to the ground.</p>
<p>But because he reacted quickly, he rolled away from the brown bear’s bite.</p>
<p>After getting some distance, he jumped and stood up again.</p>
<p>“This is muddy Gu!”</p>
<p>The young man cried out, recognizing this Gu worm.</p>
<p>This Gu worm was not his, but his grandfather had lent it to him, the young man could use it with no problem.</p>
<p>After injecting primeval essence into muddy Gu, the Gu worm shined with a murky light.</p>
<p>The young man’s hand flicked, and the murky light on the Gu worm left his hand, landing below the bear’s feet.</p>
<p>Gugugu…</p>
<p>A large amount of bubbles emerged from the soil below the brown bear’s feet.</p>
<p>In the blink of an eye, this area became a pile of soft mud.</p>
<p>The brown bear’s two feet were stuck inside the mud.</p>
<p>It struggled intensely, shaking off a lot of the mud on it.</p>
<p>The young man was hit by mud on his body and face, but he did not care, he used muddy Gu again.</p>
<p>The murky light went into the pile of mud again.</p>
<p>The brown bear was already stuck at the bottom of the mud, it struggled and was about to get out.</p>
<p>But because of the light, the mud deepened.</p>
<p>The brown bear’s four limbs were stuck inside, the more it struggled, the more it sank.</p>
<p>The bear stood on two legs, but the depth of the mud was already at its waist.</p>
<p>When the young man used muddy Gu for a third time, victory was decided.</p>
<p>The brown bear sank again, eventually, only its head was exposed, it growled, unwilling to give in.</p>
<p>“I finally won.” The young man was tired, he sat on the ground, breathing roughly.</p>
<p>His face was pale, his primeval essence was almost expended.</p>
<p>With a soft sound, the young man’s grandfather jumped down from the tree, floating down slowly for several meters, landing in front of the young man.</p>
<p>“Rascal, you know the advantages of muddy Gu now? Without this Gu, how could you defeat the brown bear?” The grandfather chided.</p>
<p>The young man did not answer, he breathed roughly for a few seconds before snorting, looking at his grandfather: “Grandpa, you did this on purpose. I know you want me to give up on sword path and cultivate our Ni clan’s specialty, earth path, right?”</p>
<p>The grandfather raised his finger and tapped the young man’s head, he said in a loving but bitter tone: “Rascal, you are smart, it would be great if you could use it on your earth path cultivation.”</p>
<p>The young man had his face in his hands, saying: “But I like sword qi. It is so cool when I shoot out sword qi. Earth path is so lame, grandpa, look at me, I am covered in mud. After one battle, I lose all my coolness.”</p>
<p>The grandfather heard this and stared with wide eyes, about to scold him further.</p>
<p>But at this moment, the bells from the base of the mountain started to ring.</p>
<p>Both of them were startled.</p>
<p>The young man jumped up, standing and looking at the base of the mountain, saying anxiously: “Ah! This is the alert bell Gu of the clan. The bell is ringing so rapidly, what happened?”</p>
<p>“Go!” The grandfather was more direct, he stretched out his arm and grabbed the young man, running towards the base of the mountain rapidly.</p>
<p>The young man felt the wind blowing past him, all he saw were shadows of trees that rapidly moved behind him.</p>
<p>He was shocked: “This is the power of a rank five Gu Master? Such speed…”</p>
<p>After a dozen breaths of time, the young man’s vision returned to normal as his grandfather put him down.</p>
<p>With the sudden deceleration, he felt queasy, his stomach was churning as he almost vomited.</p>
<p>“Lord clan leader.”</p>
<p>“Greetings to lord clan leader.”</p>
<p>The young man heard the voices of clan elders.</p>
<p>He tried to stand up, but realized that he was already at the wall surrounding Ni clan village.</p>
<p>The young man’s grandfather was Ni Kun, the current leader of Ni clan and a rank five Gu Master.</p>
<p>Ni Kun frowned, asking with a serious expression: “What happened? Why was alert bell Gu used consecutively?”</p>
<p>“Clan leader, the matter is urgent, take a look!”</p>
<p>A clan elder used the clan’s Gu formation, this was an investigative Gu formation, it was directed to Ni Kun.</p>
<p>Ni Kun’s vision flashed with all sorts of images, in an instant, he saw a scene a hundred li away from the village.</p>
<p>His breathing paused, he frowned as he showed confusion on his face: “A beast tide! Strange, we had already survived a beast tide a year ago. And the surrounding beast groups near the village are insufficient in forming a beast tide.”</p>
<p>“That’s right, we found it strange too.”</p>
<p>“If there is an abnormality, there must be a cause! I suggest that we send our elite Gu Masters to investigative.”</p>
<p>“Nevertheless, we should focus on defending ourselves. This beast tide is colossal, the question now is whether we can protect the village.”</p>
<p>Ni Kun’s expression was grim.</p>
<p>The danger had arrived so suddenly and severely.</p>
<p>His grandson, Ni Jian, was staring blankly in a daze. Earlier, it was a calm and peaceful day, but now, his village was on the brink of destruction.</p>
<p>“The beast tide is fierce, an attack of this scale has not been seen in decades. Ni clan is facing a life and death situation, activate all three layers of our defenses! Second elder, third elder, quickly go and lead our elites to use the heavenly fire Gu formation! Sixth elder, lead the medicine hall and the medical team. Seventh elder, check our transportation Gu formation. If anything goes wrong, send our youths away…” Ni Kun ordered.</p>
<p>The elders knew that the situation was dangerous, they moved immediately, showing firm determination.</p>
<p>The beast group attacked like fierce waves, rushing forward relentlessly.</p>
<p>Wherever they went, dust rose as trees in the mountain were snapped.</p>
<p>The young man, Ni Jian, saw this on top of the village wall and felt immense fear, his expression turned pale.</p>
<p>He had never seen such a fierce beast tide.</p>
<p>Normally, beast tides came in one species, for example, a wolf tide, or a tiger tide. But now, this beast tide had many different types of beasts, wolves, tigers, leopards, bulls, deer, foxes, snakes, and more were mixed in.</p>
<p>“Strange! Why are these wild beasts not attacking each other, they are forming together and attacking our village?!” The grandfather Ni Kun mumbled.</p>
<p>At the next moment, Ni Kun’s shuddered, the Ni clan Gu Masters around him also stared with wide opened eyes.</p>
<p>The terrifying beast tide slowed down, before stopped entirely.</p>
<p>An enormous group of beasts of all kinds stood ten thousand steps away from the village wall, watching the people in anticipation.</p>
<p>Ni clan’s Gu Masters looked at each other, feeling uncertainty and fear.</p>
<p>A mound tiger moved out.</p>
<p>Mound tigers were mutated beasts, they had huge bodies, far larger than normal, they were like small mounds.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was lying on the mound tiger’s back, his eyes were half open as he looked at Ni clan.</p>
<p>Seeing Fang Yuan, Ni clan’s Gu Masters shouted in shock.</p>
<p>Ni Jian’s eyes were wide open, he finally realized — This beast tide was not a natural disaster, it was a man-made disaster!</p>

<h1>Chapter 1035</h1>
<p>The sky was grand and vast.</p>
<p>White clouds rumbled, moving below one’s feet.</p>
<p>A huge lion growled lowly as its four limbs stepped on the air, flying towards the cloud layer.</p>
<p>This lion’s body was like snow, it was completely white.</p>
<p>Its thick mane swayed in the wind, strong air currents were created below its feet.</p>
<p>On the lion’s back, there was a huge chair, two Gu Immortals, one male and one female, were sitting together.</p>
<p>The female was old and looked like she was in her sixties, but her eyes were shining brightly, she was excited and could not sit still, looking around.</p>
<p>And the male had the appearance of a young man, he had a sharp nose and long thin eyes, his body was emitting a cool and experienced aura.</p>
<p>“Great-uncle, your steed is really amazing, it can travel on the clouds, in just half a day, we have already flown tens of thousands of li.” The female Gu Immortal praised.</p>
<p>“This is a desolate beast qi grand lion, it is not flying on the clouds, but it has the ability to control air currents, thus it can fly.” The young looking man explained patiently.</p>
<p>“A lion that can control air currents and fly in the air, I have never seen such a thing. Desolate beast… what does that mean?” The female Gu Immortal asked.</p>
<p>The young-looking male Gu Immortal smiled silently: “Qi He, you just ascended to become a Gu Immortal, it is normal that you do not know about common knowledge of the Gu Immortal world. This qi grand lion has qi path dao marks on its body, once it matures, it can soar through the skies. But this type of lion is very rare now, it is almost extinct in the five regions, it can only be seen in white heaven and black heaven now.”</p>
<p>“As for desolate beasts, they are a certain rank of beasts. Like how Gu Masters have rank one, rank two and rank three, other than desolate beasts, there are ancient desolate beasts and immemorial desolate beasts. Desolate beasts are equivalent to rank six Gu Immortals, because one desolate beast can fight evenly against a rank six Gu Immortal. And ancient desolate beasts are equivalent to rank seven Gu Immortals, while immemorial desolate beasts are equivalent to rank eight Gu Immortals.”</p>
<p>The female Gu Immortal, Qi He, heard this and her eyes shined, she assessed the qi grand lion again, thinking: “No wonder I felt such danger from this lion. Thanks to great-uncle, I survived the tribulation from ascension and became a Gu Immortal. If I had to fight this lion, I might get torn to shreds.”</p>
<p>The young-looking Gu Immortal, Qi Zai, was hundreds of years old, he had rank seven cultivation level, he only looked so young because of lifespan Gu.</p>
<p>He was old and experienced, seeing Qi He’s face, he could guess what she was thinking.</p>
<p>Stretching out his arm to pat this junior’s shoulder, Qi Zai consoled: “Little He, don’t worry, most people are like this after becoming immortal. When the matter I have to deal with is settled, we can return to Qi Sea grotto-heaven, your seniors are there, if the seniors know that our Qi clan has another Gu Immortal, they will be very happy. You will live in the grotto-heaven for some time and learn from your elders. Remember to observe carefully and ask questions.”</p>
<p>“Thank you for your advice, great-uncle.” Qi He had a serious expression, standing up and bowing to Qi Zai solemnly.</p>
<p>“Mm… let’s sit down and talk.” Qi Zai nodded, showing a proud expression on his face.</p>
<p>Qi He sat down, showing a confused expression, she hesitated for a while before saying: “Our Qi clan has a lot of Gu Immortal elders, why are we not imitating Southern Border super forces like Wu clan and Shang clan?”</p>
<p>Qi Zai smiled as he said: “You want to ask, why is it that we elders who have become Gu Immortals are not acting like Wu clan and Shang clan, looking after our descendants. Instead, we allow our juniors to get bullied and suppressed, is that right?”</p>
<p>“I wouldn’t dare to.” Qi He said anxiously.</p>
<p>“In the past, when I had just become an immortal, I had the same question as you.” Qi Zai sighed, he showed a look of reminiscence: “The reason is quite complex, it will take some time to explain.”</p>
<p>“The underlying cause of this relates to our Qi clan’s ancestor, he was one of the Heaven Surveying Five Xiangs thousands of years ago.”</p>
<p>“Heaven Surveying Five Xiangs?” Qi He asked.</p>
<p>“The Heaven Surveying Five Xiangs were five publicly recognized Gu Immortal experts in Southern Border during that time. The five of them had rank eight cultivation level, at the peak of the Gu Immortal world. They often collaborated and explored white heaven and black heaven together, they had a close relationship, thus they were known as the Heaven Surveying Five Xiangs. Our Qi clan ancestor was one of the Five Xiangs, Qi Xiang. And our Qi clan cultivates qi path primarily.”</p>
<p>“Rank eight Gu Immortals!” Qi He was lost for words.</p>
<p>Qi Zai sighed: “In the absence of rank nine, rank eights dominate! Every rank eight Gu Immortal is a legend, their actions have huge impact. And back then, the Heaven Surveying Five Xiangs were extremely famous, even in the other four regions. And because these five people had similar interests and a close relationship, they often fought enemies together. In most situations, rank eight Gu Immortals work alone. Thus, in white heaven and black heaven, other rank eight Gu Immortals would avoid the Heaven Surveying Five Xiangs if they encountered them.”</p>
<p>“During that time, Southern Border’s Gu Immortal world had the edge over the other four regions because of the Five Xiangs, they had incredible fame. But dozens of years later, the Heaven Surveying Five Xiangs disbanded.”</p>
<p>As he said that, Qi Zai’s tone became deeper.</p>
<p>“Why?” Qi He asked.</p>
<p>Qi Zai sighed, continuing: “I am not sure about the exact details. Supposedly, back then the Heaven Surveying Five Xiangs found a huge secret while exploring white heaven. This secret represented an unimaginable achievement, but only one person could obtain it. All of the five Xiangs wanted to get it, but they did not relent. Because their strength was similar, and because of their relationship, they created a bet.”</p>
<p>“Bet?”</p>
<p>“That’s right, this bet had a thousand year duration. The rules of the bet were: The five Xiang could only watch as their descendants developed on their own. A thousand years later, whichever clan had the most Gu Immortals would be the winner.”</p>
<p>Qi He considered the time, a thousand years had already passed, she quickly asked: “Then who won?”</p>
<p>Qi Zai smiled bitterly: “A thousand years later, two clans had the same number of Gu Immortals, the victor could not be decided. The other three clans were unwilling to give up, thus, with two clans against three, another round of betting was decided upon. Thus, a thousand years, two thousand years, three thousand years… until now, the five ancestors already died long ago, but the bet is still ongoing.”</p>
<p>“So that’s it!” Qi He heard this old secret and was tongue-tied.</p>
<p>After a while, she accepted this fact and sighed: “That means without this agreement, Southern Border would have five more super forces?”</p>
<p>But Qi Zai shook his head: “Among the five Xiangs, there were lone immortals and demonic path members, developing clans is something only righteous path members generally have the patience to do.”</p>
<p>“Our Qi clan had Qi Xiang, who are the other four Xiangs?” Qi He asked again.</p>
<p>Qi Zai responded: “Qi Xiang, Ni Xiang, Bai Xiang, Xue Xiang, Chi Xiang, they were known as the Heaven Surveying Five Xiangs. The following place I am going is where the current generation Ni Xiang is.”</p>
<p>“Why does great-uncle want to go to Ni Xiang?”</p>
<p>Qi Zai hesitated for a moment before smiling: “Alright, it is not an issue to tell you. Recently, a huge matter happened in Southern Border’s Gu Immortal world, large numbers of Gu Immortals died around Yi Tian Mountain. One of our elders from Qi clan died there. Thus, we are here to find the current generation Ni Xiang, so that they can help us deduce the truth.”</p>
<p>“Ah! Yi Tian Mountain…” Qi He cried out.</p>
<p>Regardless of what had occurred in Fang Yuan’s previous life, this time around, the battle of Yi Tian Mountain involved both mortals and immortals. Thus, Qi He had heard about it long ago.</p>
<p>But she only knew that Southern Border’s forces sent their mortal experts to attack Yi Tian Mountain and exterminate the demonic path in order to defend the righteous path. In Southern Border, there had been no demonic path power that was so brazen to create a force. Thus, the righteous path was trying to take them down.</p>
<p>Qi Zai thus told Qi He the gambling contest of Yi Tian Mountain.</p>
<p>Qi He finally realized that the truth was like this.</p>
<p>She muttered: “The difference between immortal and mortal is as far apart as clouds and mud. Those rank four and five experts are just pawns of the immortals.”</p>
<p>This truth had great impact towards Qi He, who had just become a Gu Immortal.</p>
<p>Qi Zai heard this and smiled internally.</p>
<p>When Gu Masters become immortals, not only would their strength and cultivation change, their mentality also had to change.</p>
<p>At this moment, Qi Zai could use the matter of Yi Tian Mountain to stimulate Qi He’s growth, so that she could adapt to her new identity.</p>
<p>Soon, there was silence.</p>
<p>Only the qi grand lion was still running in the air, Qi Zai and Qi He had turned silent.</p>
<p>Clouds moved around them, the world seemed vast.</p>
<p>Because there were Gu formations on the chairs, they did not feel any wind or noise.</p>
<p>Could any mortal see such a sight?</p>
<p>Qi He saw this and felt how huge the world was, mortals were like insects, her complex feelings faded gradually, she thought: “That’s right, I am a Gu Immortal, I am not a mortal anymore. Mortals and immortals are different, I need to remember this.”</p>
<p>After telling herself that, Qi He’s mood returned to normal, even her mind had undergone a change.</p>
<p>Qi Zai nodded internally at this, saying: “Actually, during these last few thousand years, among the descendants of the Heaven Surveying Five Xiangs, our Qi clan is the most prosperous. Xue Xiang’s descendants cultivate blood path, they are almost wiped out. Chi Xiang’s descendants are staying inside their immortal aperture and live like livestock, they do not have any urge to improve themselves, they are lazy and only want to eat, they are nothing significant. Bai Xiang’s final traces of bloodline have all died recently. As for Ni Xiang, even though they have several branches in Southern Border, there are no longer any Ni clan Gu Immortals.”</p>
<p>Qi He understood why, she nodded: “Becoming an immortal is really difficult, if not for great-uncle’s help, I would have died in the calamity and tribulation already.”</p>
<p>Qi Zai smiled, shaking his head as he said to Qi He with deep meaning: “Actually, Ni clan had the most hope in producing Gu Immortals. But because of that, the other clans obstructed them, resulting in their pitiful state now.”</p>
<p>“Three thousand years after the bet was created, Ni clan had a greatly talented refinement path Gu Immortal, Ni Ren, he was the final Gu Immortal in Ni clan’s history. Before dying, he planned for his clan’s future. He broke the rules of the agreement, helping Ni clan and selecting Immortal Gu to refine into his future descendants’ bloodline.”</p>

<h1>Chapter 1036</h1>
<p>“Ah? What does that mean?”</p>
<p>“Once in a while, a Gu Master in Ni clan would awaken their bloodline. If they survive, an Immortal Gu would grow inside their body.”</p>
<p>Qi Zai looked at the clouds in front of them as he continued saying: “Ni Ren did that to help Ni clan produce Gu Immortals. He was talented indeed, by refining Immortal Gu into his descendants’ bloodline, others could not take them away. Even if they tried to reverse refine it, it would fail. And these Immortal Gu were specially chosen and could be used by mortals, although the price would be high.”</p>
<p>Qi He blinked as she felt admiration towards Ni Ren: “If I could have the help of Immortal Gu, I might have been able to survive my calamity and tribulation alone.”</p>
<p>Qi Zai suddenly laughed sinisterly, a cold aura emanating from his body: “Ni Ren worked hard, but in the last few thousand years, there has not been a Gu Immortal from Ni clan. The Immortal Gu that he chose had too high of a cost, even if the mortal controlled an Immortal Gu, and even if it could not be snatched away by others, this was still like a baby holding onto a treasure, how could they be safe?”</p>
<p>“Once someone creates an Immortal Gu in their body among Ni clan, we call them the current generation Ni Xiang. The first Immortal Gu created is an information path Immortal Gu, called ‘Yes or No’. This Gu can get the information from heaven and earth, and be expressed by the Gu Master, but they can only say either yes or no. Every time they answer a question, the Gu Master would expend fifty years of lifespan.”</p>
<p>Qi He’s brows rose: “Fifty years of lifespan? This price is so huge! How can this current generation Ni Xiang do it willingly?”</p>
<p>Qi Zai smiled and did not answer.</p>
<p>Qi He’s body slightly shook.</p>
<p>She had over sixty years of life experience, she had gone through many things, she finally realized what Qi Zai meant when he said this.</p>
<p>“Each answer costs the current generation Ni Xiang fifty years of lifespan, how can they be willing? But great-uncle is a Gu Immortal, while the current generation Ni Xiang is only a mortal, does it matter if they are unwilling?”</p>
<p>“Ni clan is in such a pathetic state now, most likely, they were schemed by Qi clan’s ancestors.”</p>
<p>“And my Qi clan is in a bad state, do the senior Gu Immortals really have no way to help?”</p>
<p>At once, Qi He felt a chill.</p>
<p>In their following journey, Qi He became quiet, no longer speaking.</p>
<p>Qi Zai kept his mouth shut, he was someone who did not speak much to begin with.</p>
<p>Just now, he spoke so much in order to educate the junior, Qi He. Now that she was an immortal, she was one of Qi clan’s Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>This action by Qi clan was by no means righteous. If newly included Gu Immortals had beliefs that did not fit with it, there would inevitably be conflict among the members.</p>
<p>Qi Zai did not speak explicitly, but Qi He had already understood his words.</p>
<p>“Rotten Mud Mountain is not far away. This time, I should let Qi He handle this particular Ni clan. Even if the whole of the Ni clan here is sacrificed, there is no issue.” Thinking of this, Qi Zai’s eyes shined with cold light.</p>
<p>At Qi Zai’s will, the qi grand lion descended.</p>
<p>The scene was filled with white clouds.</p>
<p>Soon, the qi grand lion went below the cloud layer and Qi He’s field of vision expanded, she could see mountains, rivers, and forests below her. She had never seen such a grand sight when she was a mortal, she was quite amazed.</p>
<p>And among these mountains, there was a tall black mountain that was very eye-catching, it stood out among the other mountains.</p>
<p>Even the trees on this mountain were brown-black in color.</p>
<p>“Eh?” As they got closer, Qi Zai’s eyes focused.</p>
<p>Soon, Qi He also found something wrong.</p>
<p>On the east side of the mountain, towards the sun, there was a village.</p>
<p>But now, this village had already turned into ruins. Rivers of blood were everywhere, corpses were piled up on the ground.</p>
<p>Not only were there human corpses, there were also beast corpses.</p>
<p>“What happened?” Qi He cried out.</p>
<p>The qi grand lion slowly landed on this bloody land, as the two Qi clan immortals looked at the battlefield.</p>
<p>The intense smell of blood assaulted their noses. Qi He was unable to bear watching this terrible sight.</p>
<p>Qi Zai had a cold and indifferent expression, he muttered: “Rotten Mud Mountain has a special property in the soil, the blood has not dried yet, evidently, Ni clan was slaughtered less than one or two days ago.”</p>
<p>“Something’s strange. There are many types of wild beasts here, it is not a normal beast tide. Ni clan was really unlucky to have encountered such a beast tide.” Qi He said.</p>
<p>Qi Zai looked on with a cold gaze: “Hmph, what beast tide, this is a man-made disaster! There is only one type of beast tide in Rotten Mud Mountain, that is the mud monster beast tide.”</p>
<p>Qi He was shocked: “What? Who is it, they are so cruel, doing something so immoral!”</p>
<p>But she then thought over it briefly and said: “This person can control a huge number and different types of beasts, they have an amazing method, since when did Southern Border have such an amazing enslavement path Gu Master?”</p>
<p>“Hmph! This person is not a Gu Master, it is a Gu Immortal.” Qi Zai walked to the middle of the village.</p>
<p>At the center of the village ruins, there was a layer of black mud, it was a clear contrast to the surrounding blood.</p>
<p>“This Ni clan has control of a desolate beast mud monster. Although this mud monster is already close to dying, no matter how strong an enslavement path Gu Master they are, the beast tide would not be able to do anything to this desolate beast mud monster. This is the work of a Gu Immortal!” Qi Zai said grimly.</p>
<p>“Gu Immortal?” Qi He did not expect that it was a Gu Immortal.</p>
<p>She felt strange. She had lived for decades without seeing a single Gu Immortal. To think that during her tribulation, she would meet her great-uncle, and now there were traces of another Gu Immortal.</p>
<p>“I am a rank six Gu Immortal now, things are different, the people I can encounter are completely different as well.” Qi He thought to herself.</p>
<p>Qi Zai’s expression was turning grimmer.</p>
<p>He came here to find the current generation Ni Xiang. But now, Ni clan village was completely wiped out, there was little hope of his plan succeeding.</p>
<p>“Hmph! Killing the whole of Ni clan and leaving, I want to see who you really are.”</p>
<p>Qi Zai snorted, deep killing intent appeared: “You think that by doing this, I can’t find you? How can the methods left by Ancestor Qi Xiang be ordinary methods?”</p>
<p>Qi Zai said this as he stretched out his right hand.</p>
<p>Two of the fingers on his right hand curled inwards, only his thumb, index finger, and middle finger were pointed out.</p>
<p>The three fingers tapped at the air, Qi He did not think much of the small movements, but soon, the disturbance caused by this move was huge.</p>
<p>Boom.</p>
<p>The entirety of Rotten Mud Mountain shook, air currents moved and shook intensely, the rubble of the village, like snapped wood and bricks, were blown away by the strong wind.</p>
<p>Qi He took a step back, she was shocked by the huge force created.</p>
<p>Howl howl howl…</p>
<p>Pale green aura rose up in all areas of the battlefield.</p>
<p>At first, there were only a couple dozen of them, but soon, the number of traces of pale green aura rose to hundreds, then thousands, flying in the air. At once, the entire battlefield was covered in green light, it was a grand sight.</p>
<p>“Come.” Qi Zai shouted, three fingers were hooked, resembling a strong eagle claw.</p>
<p>He grabbed at the pale green aura dancing in the air.</p>
<p>The aura was affected by a strong suction force, gathering towards the eagle claw that Qi Zai’s hand resembled.</p>
<p>In a few tens of breaths, the pale green aura in the air was completely gone, having fused into Qi Zai’s hand.</p>
<p>Qi Zai’s hand was no longer of normal color, it had turned into a peculiar jade green.</p>
<p>“Great-uncle, your hand!” Qi He only took a look and felt her body and mind tremble, an intense feeling of grudge assaulted her.</p>
<p>“You have just passed your immortal ascension, you are still very much like a mortal, don’t get close.” Qi Zai instructed, but his voice was still as low and calm as always.</p>
<p>Qi He nodded, taking a few steps back, turning her gaze around.</p>
<p>Next, she heard Qi Zai say: “The pale green aura is the grudge qi that is scattered all over this battlefield. That Gu Immortal killed Ni clan’s entire village, not even letting the children and elderly live, he was truly ruthless. Ni clan did not have a single survivor, they are naturally feeling grudge towards their fate and the person who killed them. The aura is not only left in the battlefield, they are still entangled around the murderer.”</p>
<p>“Go!” Qi Zai shouted.</p>
<p>At the same time, he opened his hand, slamming the pale green hand towards the black mud below him.</p>
<p>In an instant, all of the grudge qi was sent into the mud by Qi Zai’s action.</p>
<p>This was not ordinary mud, it was filled with earth path dao marks from the corpse of the desolate beast mud monster.</p>
<p>“Qi path has a long history, Little He, watch closely, this is one of the signature methods of our Qi clan.” Qi Zai could not conceal his pride.</p>
<p>With a whooshing sound.</p>
<p>The mud rumbled under Qi Zai’s method, forming into a giant mud ball.</p>
<p>The thick mud ball floated in the air, rotating on its own.</p>
<p>On the surface of this mud ball, there were countless faces.</p>
<p>These faces showed anger and hatred.</p>
<p>“Puff!” Qi Zai breathed out, blowing out a breath of mystical aura.</p>
<p>The aura entered the mud ball, as the latter quickly transformed into a monster made from mud.</p>
<p>The mudman shouted: “Kill! I want to kill you!”</p>
<p>Qi He gasped: “A member of Ni clan revived?”</p>
<p>Qi Zai’s method was simply unfathomable in her eyes.</p>
<p>“Ever since fate Gu was broken, the world began to have many revival methods.” Qi Zai explained, turning towards the frenzied mudman monster, asking: “What is your name?”</p>
<p>“Ahhhhh…” The mudman monster was still shouting, its limbs were still moving around, expressing its rage.</p>
<p>Qi Zai frowned, he asked again.</p>
<p>The mudman monster did not listen, it continued cursing: “Murderer! You forced my grandpa to die! I will tear your into shreds!”</p>
<p>Qi Zai snorted as he shifted his thoughts.</p>
<p>The mudman monster was created by him, he could naturally control it.</p>
<p>“Who are you? You are a murderer too! I will also…” The mudman monster’s body shook as if it was hit by lightning, mud was falling off of its body.</p>
<p>The cursing ended, the mudman monster calmed down, looking at Qi Zai and Qi He with its hollow eyes.</p>
<p>Qi Zai let out a breath of air, he knew that this mudman monster had very low intelligence, it was made from grudge qi. Questions could not be asked too rapidly, he had to ask slowly and progressively.</p>
<p>“What is your name?”</p>
<p>“Ni Jian!” The mudman monster shouted.</p>
<p>Qi Zai misinterpreted his words as ‘you bastard’<a href="footnote.xhtml#fn1036_01" id="fn1036_01"><sup>1</sup></a>, his eyes shined with cold light as he waved his sleeves while snorting.</p>
<p>With a splat, the mudman monster broke apart, turning into a pile of mud on the ground.</p>

<h1>Chapter 1037</h1>
<p>Qi Zai snorted, pointing his finger as the mud gathered into a mud ball again.</p>
<p>On the surface of the mud ball, there were countless faces filled with hatred. Even though it was silent, this scene made Qi He feel a cold chill internally.</p>
<p>Qi Zai waved his sleeve as the mud ball turned back into a mud monster again.</p>
<p>Qi Zai gasped lightly, thinking: “This is the grudge qi from earlier. I had already dispelled this grudge qi once, but it could show up again by suppressing the other grudge qi and regaining form. It seems its owner had felt an immense grudge before dying.”</p>
<p>Qi Zai asked again: “What is your name?”</p>
<p>“Ni Jian.”</p>
<p>This time, Qi Zai heard him clearly.</p>
<p>Thus, he continued asking: “How old are you?”</p>
<p>“Fifteen.”</p>
<p>Qi Zai asked as the mud monster answered.</p>
<p>Qi Zai’s questions gradually became more in depth and more difficult.</p>
<p>As time passed, after a while, Qi Zai finally learned what had happened in Ni clan.</p>
<p>A mysterious Gu Immortal had controlled the beasts and attacked Ni clan village. His motive was like that of Qi Zai, it was to find the current generation Ni Xiang.</p>
<p>But unlike Qi Zai, he did not know who the current generation Ni Xiang was.</p>
<p>Thus, he used the lives of the entire village to threaten and force the current generation Ni Xiang out.</p>
<p>Without a choice, the Ni clan leader had to step up.</p>
<p>As it turned out, he was the current generation Ni Xiang who had yes or no Immortal Gu in his body.</p>
<p>The Gu Immortal was overjoyed, forcing the Ni clan leader to use yes or no Immortal Gu and answer his question. He promised that as long as he received a satisfactory answer, he would spare Ni clan village.</p>
<p>In order to protect the entire clan, the Ni clan leader chose to believe the Gu Immortal and sacrificed himself.</p>
<p>After the mysterious Gu Immortal obtained the answer he wanted, he went back on his words and ordered the beasts to attack the village.</p>
<p>Ni clan village felt furious and bore deep hatred, they resisted but fell back rapidly, suffering great losses due to the huge beast group.</p>
<p>At the moment of life and death, the desolate beast mud monster that Qi Zai subdued came to save them.</p>
<p>It turned out that the Ni clan villages that were scattered all over Southern Border were purposely preserved by Qi clan’s Gu Immortals. Qi Zai was in charge of Rotten Mud Mountain, once in a while, he would do a check, thus, he knew that the current generation Ni Xiang was Ni clan leader.</p>
<p>He had subdued a desolate beast mud monster in a swamp of the mountain, leaving his will in it. This will manipulated the mud monster to protect Ni clan from mishaps.</p>
<p>As the incident occurred, the mud monster rushed to the scene and protected Ni clan.</p>
<p>But the mysterious Gu Immortal was very strong, he attacked personally and killed the mud monster after many attacks.</p>
<p>Once the mud monster died, Ni clan’s remaining clansmen were submerged by the beast group, not a single person survived.</p>
<p>The peaceful Ni clan village had been turned into a ruin, corpses were everywhere, it was a pitiful sight.</p>
<p>Days later, at this moment when Qi Zai and Qi He arrived, they found out about this.</p>
<p>This Ni Jian was the young clan leader of the village, the grandson of the Ni clan leader. He had lost his parents at a young age, he was brought up by his grandfather and was carefully nurtured, they had a close relationship.</p>
<p>His grandfather was forced into death by the enemy, and the enemy even went back on his word and killed the entire village, including himself.</p>
<p>After he died, his soul was taken away, only his deep grudge was remaining and did not dissipate.</p>
<p>Qi Zai asked one question at a time, Ni Jian had a deep impression of Fang Yuan, he said everything he knew.</p>
<p>According to his answer, Qi Zai obtained an idea of Fang Yuan’s appearance.</p>
<p>This was a short but muscular old man, he had a black and white beard, he looked tough like steel nails. He was yellow skinned and had small eyes, his teeth were unevenly positioned.</p>
<p>“Who is this?” Qi Zai searched through his memories, but he did not recognize this person.</p>
<p>Of course he did not.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was a vigilant person, even when facing unthreatening mortal Gu Masters, he still disguised himself and changed his appearance.</p>
<p>Actually, even if Qi Zai had appeared personally and saw Fang Yuan, he would not be able to expose his disguise.</p>
<p>Because not long ago, Fang Yuan had already obtained enough Gu worms via Lang Ya land spirit to use the immortal killer move, familiar face.</p>
<p>“This Gu Immortal is likely a secluded cultivator in Southern Border… sigh, it is a time of unrest!” Qi Zai sighed to himself.</p>
<p>Ever since the gambling contest on Yi Tian Mountain, a large number of Southern Border’s Gu Immortals had died for some reason.</p>
<p>And these Southern Border Gu Immortals who died were mostly those who controlled certain areas in Southern Border, they had control of countless cultivation resources.</p>
<p>This way, a power vacuum was created.</p>
<p>Many lurking Gu Immortals who were normally rarely seen started appearing one by one.</p>
<p>“This person had to attack the desolate beast mud monster many times, he does not have outstanding strength, he is likely to be a rank six Gu Immortal. He actually knows about the current generation Ni Xiang, this secret is not known by Wu clan or Shang clan. Is he the descendant of one of the other three Xiangs?”</p>
<p>Qi Zai hesitated for a moment before deciding to pursue him.</p>
<p>Qi clan was already in sight of victory regarding the ancient bet by the Heaven Surveying Five Xiangs. But at this final juncture, a mysterious Gu Immortal appeared, this matter was extremely important, even more than investigating the deceased Qi clan Gu Immortal, he, Qi Zai, had to pursue it!</p>
<p>Northern Plains, Lang Ya blessed land.</p>
<p>Guh.</p>
<p>A basin of cold water was poured on Gu Yue Fang Zheng’s face.</p>
<p>Fang Zheng, who was unconscious, shuddered, waking up instantly.</p>
<p>“Where… is this?” He opened his eyes, realizing that he was in a cage, as a captive.</p>
<p>And around him, there were two hairy men wearing armor.</p>
<p>One of them was carrying an empty basin, there was still water droplets inside.</p>
<p>The other was holding a leather whip, sneering.</p>
<p>“Who are you? Where is this?” Fang Zheng struggled intensely, but he was tied up and could not move.</p>
<p>“Kid, you are finally awake? You seem pretty lively.” A hairy man prison guard said as he raised his leather whip, swinging it.</p>
<p>With a loud cracking sound.</p>
<p>The leather whip landed on Fang Zheng’s chest, an intense pain assaulted him.</p>
<p>His thin shirt was torn from the lashing, blood flowed out of his wound, dripping down.</p>
<p>Fang Zheng sucked in a deep breath, his face was distorted as he screamed loudly.</p>
<p>“What are you screaming for?!” The hairy man prison guard had a fierce expression, he whipped again.</p>
<p>This lash hit his face, he was disfigured.</p>
<p>Fang Zheng screamed in pain again.</p>
<p>The hairy man prison guard was even more excited now, he kept whipping as he spat out saliva: “Dog shit human, go ahead and scream, scream!”</p>
<p>Fang Zheng was tortured and felt anguished, he was abused terribly.</p>
<p>With the intense waves of pain assaulting him, he finally remembered: He was originally imprisoned in Hu Immortal blessed land by his brother, Fang Yuan, but one day, a large group of hairy men came and brought him away.</p>
<p>“What happened? What in the world happened?” Fang Zheng was confused.</p>
<p>But he was not confused for long, the pain soon caused him to faint.</p>
<p>“He fainted, this lad is really weak.”</p>
<p>“Hehe, pour some more cold water, wake him up!”</p>
<p>The two hairy men laughed sinisterly.</p>
<p>The bone chilling water was poured over Fang Zheng again.</p>
<p>Fang Zheng’s body spasmed, he opened his eyes slowly.</p>
<p>His consciousness was returning, but the pain in his body was becoming clearer and more intense.</p>
<p>The hairy man who whipped Fang Zheng took a huge step forward and stood in front of Fang Zheng.</p>
<p>Next, he stretched out his hairy arm, grabbing Fang Zheng’s face, gritting his teeth: “Lad, don’t think of surviving after ending up in our hands. Nobody will save you! Hu Immortal blessed land has already been taken over by our great hairy man Gu Immortals, your brother died in battle already.”</p>
<p>“Cooperate with us and we will let you die peacefully without much torture. Tell us, how much do you know about Hu Immortal blessed land? How much do you know about your brother’s secrets?”</p>
<p>Fang Zheng heard this and felt that his mind was quaking.</p>
<p>He was in a daze, looking at the hairy men in shock, he cried out: “What? Fang Yuan is dead?!”</p>
<p>“Hmph, he was attacked by our hairy man Gu Immortals, as a mere immortal zombie, how could he not die? He has already been torn to shreds, hahaha.”</p>
<p>“Us hairy men are not to be trifled with. One day, we will attack and trample all humans under our feet!”</p>
<p>The two hairy man prison guards laughed.</p>
<p>Fang Zheng knew little about Gu Immortals, he was convinced by these two.</p>
<p>His gaze was empty, he was dejected.</p>
<p>Central Continent, deep in Earth Abyss.</p>
<p>In a dark room, Hei Lou Lan was sitting with her eyes shut.</p>
<p>The door opened, Ying Wu Xie stood outside.</p>
<p>Hei Lou Lan opened her eyes slowly, she did not speak, only looking at him.</p>
<p>Frankly speaking, the result of the battle of Yi Tian Mountain was out of Hei Lou Lan’s expectations. Seeing this familiar ‘Fang Yuan’, Hei Lou Lan had complex emotions.</p>
<p>“I have decided.” Ying Wu Xie said, breaking the silence.</p>
<p>“Oh? I am listening.” Hei Lou Lan said.</p>
<p>She knew that the judgment of whether she lived or died had come.</p>
<p>If Ying Wu Xie was unwilling to get rid of the alliance agreement for her, she would definitely be killed. Evidently, since Ying Wu Xie exposed his identity, he would not allow Fang Yuan’s ally to stay around him.</p>
<p>If Ying Wu Xie decided to get rid of the alliance agreement and recruit Hei Lou Lan, she would be able to live.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie had hesitated for a long time.</p>
<p>He wanted to use Hei Lou Lan to deal with Fang Yuan by getting rid of the alliance agreement only on her end. But Fairy Li Shan had deep information path attainment, and with Fang Yuan’s meticulous planning, Ying Wu Xie’s plan failed before it even begun.</p>
<p>Hei Lou Lan’s value fell greatly.</p>
<p>After all, Hei Lou Lan and Shadow Sect had a deep grudge.</p>
<p>If breaking Hei Lou Lan’s information path alliance agreement was the same as releasing Fang Yuan from it, he would have to use a new alliance agreement to restrict Hei Lou Lan.</p>
<p>If he gave up on it, he would kill Hei Lou Lan. Even though he could not obtain her Gu worms, her immortal aperture and the Great Strength True Martial Physique would remain. That way, Fang Yuan would still be bound by the alliance agreement, it could be used against him later.</p>
<p>After considering the costs and benefits, Ying Wu Xie made his decision.</p>
<p>He opened his mouth slowly.</p>
<p>Undoubtedly.</p>
<p>At the next moment, his words would determine Hei Lou Lan’s life or death!</p>

<body>
<h1>Chapter 1038</h1>
<p>Green light flickered, red light shined like fire.</p>
<p>The two lights fused, growing and weakening in intervals.</p>
<p>The light faded gradually, the center of the formation turned into darkness again.</p>
<p>Hei Lou Lan floated in the air in a sitting position, she opened her eyes, admiration flashed across her shocked gaze.</p>
<p>“Ying Wu Xie belongs to Shadow Sect, he is a subordinate of Spectral Soul Demon Venerable. I had thought that he would use soul path or dark path methods to get rid of the information path dao marks on me. To think that he used light path, this shows how unfathomable Spectral Soul Demon Venerable and Shadow Sect are, little aunt’s information path attainment was already quasi-great grandmaster. But Shadow Sect could actually break it using this light path Gu formation…”</p>
<p>Hei Lou Lan’s evaluation of Spectral Soul Demon Venerable and Shadow Sect rose by another level.</p>
<p>The scene she viewed changed, in an instant, Hei Lou Lan had returned to the room she was in previously.</p>
<p>“I have already removed all of the information path dao marks on you.” Ying Wu Xie stood at the side, saying calmly.</p>
<p>After careful consideration, Ying Wu Xie decided to preserve Hei Lou Lan’s life.</p>
<p>After all, his biggest mission now was not to deal with Fang Yuan, it was to pick up the pieces and rebuild Shadow Sect, he had to save Spectral Soul Demon Venerable’s main body.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was a secondary goal.</p>
<p>Even though Ying Wu Xie hated Fang Yuan to the core, he would not lose his reasoning due to hatred.</p>
<p>Precisely because of this, he knew his primary objective and decided to make Hei Lou Lan a member of his after some hesitation.</p>
<p>She was a talented person.</p>
<p>Great Strength True Martial Physique, with Ying Wu Xie’s knowledge, and with some teaching, she would be a capable force in his hands.</p>
<p>Hei Lou Lan inspected her body.</p>
<p>She did not have any methods to observe her own dao marks, after inspecting herself, she saw nothing wrong with her body. Of course, the emphasis was on her soul.</p>
<p>But everyone knew that Spectral Soul Demon Venerable was the founder of soul path!</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie smiled lightly: “The old agreement is gone, you have a new alliance agreement now. From now on, you are my subordinate, you have to listen to my orders, you are not to defy me or hide anything from me.”</p>
<p>Hei Lou Lan snorted coldly, not showing any respect to Ying Wu Xie.</p>
<p>Since Ying Wu Xie could get rid of her alliance agreement, his methods were proven to be superior to Fairy Li Shan.</p>
<p>From now on, Hei Lou Lan no longer had freedom, she had to listen to every order from Ying Wu Xie.</p>
<p>But…</p>
<p>For Hei Lou Lan, this was a helpless choice that she had to accept.</p>
<p>The situation was not in her favor, if she resisted, she would die.</p>
<p>As for the fact that she betrayed her ally Fang Yuan, Hei Lou Lan felt zero remorse. Her relationship with Fang Yuan originally was about scheming against each other for benefits, they were just making use of one another.</p>
<p>In fact, she even felt hatred towards Fang Yuan!</p>
<p>“What do you want me to do next? Lure Fang Yuan here? I have stargate Gu, I can travel the five regions using black heaven.” Hei Lou Lan said plainly.</p>
<p>Without the alliance agreement, she exposed Fang Yuan’s secrets without mercy.</p>
<p>But Ying Wu Xie shook his head, he said regretfully: “I’m not afraid to tell you that Shadow Sect has a spy in Lang Ya blessed land. We know about stargate Gu, even though this Gu is amazing, it is effective on rank six bottom tier Gu Immortals at best. It cannot even transport a single Immortal Gu, you will be no match for the current Fang Yuan.”</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie obtained Spectral Soul’s guidance in the Red Lotus true inheritance, he knew a lot of secrets regarding sovereign immortal fetus Gu.</p>
<p>He understood clearly that Fang Yuan’s new body had a larger number of dao marks. Fire path, water path, wind path, all of his paths had at least a hundred dao marks.</p>
<p>That meant that the cumulative number of dao marks that he had exceeded a thousand for sure.</p>
<p>With so many dao marks, Fang Yuan could not use stargate Gu.</p>
<p>“The next step of my plan is to refine Fixed Immortal Travel.” Ying Wu Xie said.</p>
<p>Hei Lou Lan’s eyes shined with bright light, she nodded.</p>
<p>She knew about Fixed Immortal Travel, this Immortal Gu was very useful, it was very wise of Ying Wu Xie to refine it first.</p>
<p>“Fixed Immortal Travel has just been destroyed, there is a high chance of succeeding the refinement. But to refine Fixed Immortal Travel, you will need divine travel Gu, and to get divine travel Gu, you will need four top tier liquors within the world…”</p>
<p>Before Hei Lou Lan finished, Ying Wu Xie interrupted her: “Divine travel Gu is in Lang Ya land spirit’s hands. However, even though Immortal Gu like Fixed Immortal Travel are unique, there isn’t only one possible Gu recipe. A city has multiple gates to enter it, the same goes for Immortal Gu.”</p>
<p>Hei Lou Lan was curious: “This means you have a new recipe to refine Fixed Immortal Travel?”</p>
<p>“Of course.” Ying Wu Xie smiled.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul Demon Venerable was invincible in the world when he was alive, his accumulation and foundation was immense, and after his death he created Shadow Sect.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul’s will inside the Red Lotus true inheritance had formulated a series of plans for Ying Wu Xie relating to Fixed Immortal Travel. As the core of the plan, Fixed Immortal Travel naturally could not have issues. Thus, Ying Wu Xie had three Immortal Gu recipes of Fixed Immortal Travel in his mind.</p>
<p>All of them could be used to refine Fixed Immortal Travel!</p>
<p>Southern Border.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan traveled in the mountains.</p>
<p>He had just slaughtered Ni clan village singlehandedly, right now, he was traveling as he assessed his gains and losses from the battle.</p>
<p>Experiences were lessons.</p>
<p>Only by sorting out one’s experiences could they learn from those experiences, allowing their foundation to rise and become more stable.</p>
<p>Ni clan’s Gu Masters were not a concern, Fang Yuan only used some enslavement path methods to summon the huge number of beasts and trample over the village.</p>
<p>No matter how many mortals there were, Fang Yuan did not need to attack personally.</p>
<p>What made Fang Yuan fight was the desolate beast mud monster.</p>
<p>This mud monster gave Fang Yuan a lot of problems before he killed it.</p>
<p>In this battle, Fang Yuan learned a lot about his weakness.</p>
<p>“Even though I have rank seven sword path Gu, the immortal essence expenditure is too high!”</p>
<p>Gu worms and Gu Masters both had nine ranks, since ancient times, there was a common understanding in the cultivation world, that was, the Gu Master and Gu worm’s rank should be equal. When the Gu worm’s rank was too low, the Gu Master would not be able to use their full strength. When the Gu worm’s rank was too high, the Gu Master would also be unable to use their full strength.</p>
<p>Because, if the Gu worm had a higher rank, the Gu Master would be like a baby holding a hammer, not only would it be difficult to use it to harm foes, the Gu Master themselves may also receive damage when using the hammer.</p>
<p>Like earlier, when Fang Yuan used his rank seven sword path Gu against the desolate beast mud monster, he felt a sense of helplessness.</p>
<p>Every time he used his sword path Gu, the expended green grape immortal essence exceeded a hundred beads.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s nine-five sovereign immortal aperture could only produce sixteen beads of immortal essence a day, it was not enough for one activation.</p>
<p>Thankfully, he had taken a sum of immortal essence stones from Lang Ya land spirit to replenish his immortal essence. Otherwise, in Ni clan village, he would face much greater problems when dealing with the mud monster.</p>
<p>“I was hesitant earlier, but now it seems I must reverse refine these rank seven sword path Immortal Gu.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan sighed internally.</p>
<p>The higher the rank of the Gu worm, the rarer they were, and the more valuable they were.</p>
<p>But in Fang Yuan’s situation, he had no choice but to reverse refine these rank seven Immortal Gu and turn them into rank six.</p>
<p>This way, they would suit Fang Yuan better and he could use them as he wished.</p>
<p>“My refinement path attainment is so-so. I should ask Lang Ya land spirit to do the Immortal Gu reverse refinement for me.”</p>
<p>“Even though his personality changed, he is still Long Hair Ancestor’s obsession, as long as I pay the sect contribution points, he will do it.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan analyzed in his mind.</p>
<p>Reverse refining Immortal Gu, even though the success rate was higher than normal refinement, there was still a possibility of failing, and it was high.</p>
<p>Thus, it was better to ask Lang Ya land spirit to do it instead of Fang Yuan himself.</p>
<p>“I wonder how many of these rank seven sword path Immortal Gu I would have left after all of them are reverse refined?”</p>
<p>“Even if all of them are left, just these sword path Immortal Gu would not be enough.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan thought about the battle against the desolate beast mud monster again.</p>
<p>Even though he used rank seven sword path Immortal Gu, the enemy was a mud monster.</p>
<p>Mud monsters were different from other beasts. Ordinary desolate beasts had flesh and blood, they had bones and skin, they had obvious weaknesses.</p>
<p>But mud monsters were made of mud, but because the mud was filled with earth path dao marks, they became different from normal mud.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s flying sword Immortal Gu was specialized in dealing fatal blows, once used, a three meter long silver sword would fly out, even though it was sharp and could easily pierce the mud monster, it could not deal much damage.</p>
<p>Thus, in that battle, even though Fang Yuan had the advantage, he was very unhappy.</p>
<p>Eventually, even though he won, the expended green grape immortal essence greatly exceeded Fang Yuan’s bottom line.</p>
<p>“Flying sword Immortal Gu was the most commonly used Immortal Gu of Bo Qing, using it as the core, he created many immortal killer moves to deal with many situations. Earlier, if I had a sword path immortal killer move, I would be able to split flying sword Immortal Gu into countless swords, sending down a rain of them, the mud monster would not last one hit!”</p>
<p>Thus, Fang Yuan not only needed to reverse refine the sword path Immortal Gu, he also needed to collect sword path killer moves.</p>
<p>As for creating them himself, he could forget about it.</p>
<p>He could not use wisdom Gu, or at least, he did not find the method yet, and his sword path attainment was almost nonexistent.</p>
<p>If not for these available sword path Immortal Gu, Fang Yuan would have tried to use blood path, strength path, or time path already.</p>
<p>After pondering, Fang Yuan stopped traveling, sitting down on a rock.</p>
<p>He contracted Lang Ya land spirit.</p>
<p>Right now, Lang Ya land spirit was not so interested in refining Gu, his focus was on expanding the hairy men race and trampling over humans, making hairy men the overlords of the five regions.</p>
<p>But when Fang Yuan was willing to use his sect contribution points to ask the land spirit to do it, he agreed.</p>
<p>As for sword path killer moves, Lang Ya blessed land had many in its collection.</p>
<p>The original Lang Ya land spirit spent all his time researching Gu recipes and refining Gu. He had researched sword path Gu as well, these killer moves were things that Lang Ya land spirit used for research.</p>
<p>Looking over them, Fang Yuan could not decide what killer move to get.</p>
<p>He changed the topic: “First supreme elder, I am willing to use the final opportunity to ask you to refine an Immortal Gu.”</p>
<p>Even though Lang Ya land spirit had changed, the agreement between Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable and Long Hair Ancestor still had to be fulfilled.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had already used two chances, asking Lang Ya land spirit to refine stargate Gu and second aperture Gu. Now, he made up his mind, using the final chance.</p>
<p>“Oh? What Immortal Gu?” The land spirit asked.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s answer was quick and simple —</p>
<p>“Fixed Immortal Travel!”</p>

<h1>Chapter 1039</h1>
<p>“Fixed Immortal Travel?” Lang Ya land spirit was surprised, asking hesitantly.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan knew what his concern was, it was that Immortal Gu were unique.</p>
<p>He replied to the land spirit calmly: “Don’t worry, I am mostly sure that Fixed Immortal Travel no longer exists in the world.”</p>
<p>He had approached the current generation Ni Xiang, asking a question about Fixed Immortal Travel and other Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan asked: Fixed Immortal Travel, Spring Autumn Cicada… and other Immortal Gu, were all of them either destroyed or preserved?</p>
<p>Current generation Ni Xiang answered: No.</p>
<p>Thus, Fang Yuan confirmed two details.</p>
<p>The first was that some of the Immortal Gu including Fixed Immortal Travel were still remaining, while some were destroyed.</p>
<p>The second was that Ying Wu Xie had most likely discovered and broken the arrangements on his original body.</p>
<p>The current generation Ni Xiang was already over fifty years old, after using yes or no Immortal Gu once, he expended fifty years of lifespan. Thus, after answering one question, Ni clan’s old clan leader died on the spot.</p>
<p>But this answer had already helped Fang Yuan greatly.</p>
<p>“In the worst case scenario, Ying Wu Xie has already broken my arrangements, he would hide himself and prevent me from finding him. He might not even be in Southern Border anymore.”</p>
<p>“I am unable to contact Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng, these two have either turned to his side or been killed by him.”</p>
<p>“I wonder which Immortal Gu in my original body have already been destroyed? It is most likely that Fixed Immortal Travel is already destroyed, because the special will that I designed would destroy it first.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan made such an arrangement earlier because he was wary of Fixed Immortal Travel’s power, and also because he was afraid that he could not retrieve the special will in time after getting back his body, thus he set them to self-detonate one by one.</p>
<p>“The most likely thing is that after Fixed Immortal Travel was destroyed, Ying Wu Xie found there were problems and used methods to seal the other Immortal Gu temporarily.”</p>
<p>“The two of us have swapped souls, his situation is worse than mine, he has no Gu worms to manipulate. But to think he could seal my Immortal Gu, that means he either deceived Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng or used the remaining forces Shadow Sect has.”</p>
<p>Since Shadow Sect was created by Spectral Soul Demon Venerable and was in operation for tens of thousands of years, it was natural that they had remaining forces. Fang Yuan had already expected this.</p>
<p>“Shadow Sect exists in all five regions, even Zombie Alliance was a subsidiary force of Shadow Sect. The battle of Yi Tian Mountain happened in Southern Border, most likely, Shadow Sect’s forces in Southern Border suffered the greatest loss, while the other four regions are less affected.”</p>
<p>“If Fixed Immortal Travel is already destroyed, Ying Wu Xie can’t deal with me using just Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng. He would need to gather Shadow Sect’s remaining forces and come at me after he is prepared. Thus, he also wants to refine Fixed Immortal Travel.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s new body was outstanding.</p>
<p>When he thought about things, inspiration flowed with ease, there were no obstacles.</p>
<p>And for him, Fixed Immortal Travel was also something he needed urgently.</p>
<p>Because of the regional walls, and the fact that stargate Gu had no effect on his new body, Fixed Immortal Travel was the best tool for him to travel the five regions.</p>
<p>“As long as I have Fixed Immortal Travel, I can return to Lang Ya blessed land directly and store all of the Immortal Gu with me.”</p>
<p>“My earlier cultivation resources can also be placed into the nine-five sovereign immortal aperture.”</p>
<p>“I can even go into Earth Abyss and devour Star Form blessed land!”</p>
<p>No matter which one it was, it would greatly increase Fang Yuan’s strength.</p>
<p>But not only was treasure yellow heaven too open and would lure many greedy people to Fang Yuan if he used it for transportation, just the processing fee that it charged was too high.</p>
<p>If Fang Yuan used treasure yellow heaven to transport the rank eight wisdom sword Gu, all of his savings would be expended, and it would not be enough.</p>
<p>“Are you sure you want to refine Fixed Immortal Travel?” Lang Ya land spirit asked again.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan sensed something amiss, he frowned: “What, is this out of your capability?”</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit shook his head: “I am not going to go back on my agreement with Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable. But even though I have divine travel Gu and the other supplementary Gu materials, I lack the most critical material. Can you guess what it is?”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan thought and frowned: “Is it the light of the immemorial era?”</p>
<p>“That’s right.” Lang Ya land spirit answered: “No matter which Gu recipe you try to use to refine Fixed Immortal Travel, in all of them, the most crucial material is the light of the immemorial era. Light is something hard to capture and store. The Immemorial Antiquity Era… it is earlier than the Olden Antiquity and Remote Antiquity Era, it is the time when Ren Zu was alive. Back then, in the entire world, the only humans were Ren Zu and his ten children.”</p>
<p>“Not a single Gu recipe will work?” Fang Yuan knew that Lang Ya land spirit would not lie, but he was unwilling to give up.</p>
<p>“Of course!” Lang Ya land spirit replied firmly: “I have two fixed immortal travel Immortal Gu recipes. I have seen more than ten Fixed Immortal Travel remnant recipes, no matter which one, they cannot avoid the light of the immemorial era. The only difference is the amount of light needed in each recipe.”</p>
<p>“Fixed Immortal Travel is a precious Gu, it has great use. If not for this, it would have been refined long ago, how could you have the chance?”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan heard this and realized how lucky he was back then when refining Fixed Immortal Travel.</p>
<p>The light of the immemorial era at that time was formed using the extreme light Gu in Xiao Mang’s hands.</p>
<p>But now, Xiao Mang was dead already.</p>
<p>Because Xiao Shan and Xiao Mang were pawns of Xiao clan’s supreme elder.</p>
<p>These two were potential Gu Immortals, but yet they were mortals and simply pawns. Even after dying, they did not realize the truth of Yi Tian Mountain.</p>
<p>Once Xiao Mang died, extreme light Gu was destroyed as well.</p>
<p>“Xiao Mang is dead, his soul was not even spared, how can I get the light of the immemorial era? First supreme elder, if you use the light of wisdom, would you be able to deduce a recipe that does not use the light of the immemorial era?” Fang Yuan asked again.</p>
<p>Involving a rank nine Immortal Gu, Lang Ya land spirit was uncertain, he was only a rank eight Gu Immortal even during his life.</p>
<p>Even if he helped two venerables refine Gu, he was not clear about the exact details of wisdom Gu.</p>
<p>“Forget it, even if the light of wisdom can be used to create an Immortal Gu recipe without the light of the immemorial era, I am no longer an immortal zombie, I cannot use it. I should go to Xiao clan and check, Xiao Mang’s extreme light Gu was found in a graveyard, I might find some clues there.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan ended the conversation with Lang Ya land spirit.</p>
<p>He changed directions and rushed to Xiao clan.</p>
<p>But before ending their talk, he did not forget to pass the souls from killing Ni clan to Lang Ya land spirit.</p>
<p>Next, he asked for a list from Lang Ya land spirit.</p>
<p>The list was a request for the sword path killer moves in Lang Ya Sect.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan rushed to Xiao clan as he inspected these killer moves.</p>
<p>Even though there were a number of sword path killer moves, most of them were mortal killer moves, there were only three immortal killer moves.</p>
<p>Among them, one was an incomplete immortal killer move, like a remnant Immortal Gu recipe, it had a lot of value in research, but could not be used directly.</p>
<p>Among the other two, one was for movement, another was for attack.</p>
<p>The movement immortal killer move was called ‘sword flash thunder sound’, it only used two core Immortal Gu, they were flash sword Gu and rumbling thunder Gu.</p>
<p>The offensive immortal killer move was called ‘dark assassination’, there were also two core Immortal Gu, flying sword Immortal Gu and dark limit Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>Seeing the familiar dark limit Immortal Gu, Fang Yuan sighed internally.</p>
<p>A long time ago, he had once sought this Immortal Gu, but he did not succeed.</p>
<p>After Fairy Jiang Yu died, dark limit Immortal Gu was destroyed as well.</p>
<p>“If I had dark limit Immortal Gu, together with flying sword Immortal Gu, I would be able to use this dark assassination. It is a pity…”</p>
<p>While Fang Yuan was thinking, a voice came from afar: “Friend, please wait.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan turned around and saw a desolate beast qi grand lion running over, there was a huge red chair on the lion’s back, two Gu Immortals were seated.</p>
<p>Central Continent, Earth Abyss.</p>
<p>The soul beast howled, emitting a wretched growl.</p>
<p>“Be careful, soul howl Immortal Gu has activated again!” Ying Wu Xie warned.</p>
<p>A formless sound wave created air currents in the air, sweeping towards Ying Wu Xie, Hei Lou Lan, and Tai Bai Yun Sheng.</p>
<p>The three had no choice but to retreat gradually.</p>
<p>This wild soul howl Immortal Gu was rank seven, living inside a soul beast. Ying Wu Xie, Hei Lou Lan, and Tai Bai Yun Sheng forced the soul beast into a dangerous situation, the Immortal Gu reacted and unleashed its power, giving the soul beast enough time and space to retaliate.</p>
<p>“How can this be? This soul beast is only a desolate beast, how can it have a wild rank seven Gu?” Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s seven orifices were bleeding as he called out.</p>
<p>The other two were in bad shape as well, their heads were spinning, their souls were heavily injured.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie’s expression was ugly.</p>
<p>It was truly a crisis out of nowhere.</p>
<p>Earlier, it was still fine, but suddenly, a soul beast charged into Shadow Sect’s territory.</p>
<p>“The activation of soul howl Immortal Gu does not require immortal essence, it uses the foundation of the soul. This desolate soul beast must have been at ancient desolate level earlier. It had escaped after going through intense battle and because soul howl Immortal Gu activated, it fell from an ancient desolate beast to a desolate beast.”</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie answered Tai Bai Yun Sheng with a hoarse voice.</p>
<p>At the same time, two words appeared in his mind — heaven’s will!</p>
<p>“My Shadow Sect’s plan failed, and I defied heaven’s will, after rebirth, I did not go to Fang Yuan and perish together with him. Thus, heaven’s will is coming after me now.”</p>
<p>The way of heaven emphasized on balance between all living beings.</p>
<p>Earlier, Shadow Sect was hidden and tried to evade heaven’s will, they operated in secret and faced less obstruction.</p>
<p>But now, Ying Wu Xie was completely exposed, heaven’s will prepared and lured the soul beast to them.</p>
<p>“Heaven’s will is everywhere!”</p>
<p>“Back then, when Fang Yuan refined Fixed Immortal Travel, it arranged the situation for him nicely, sending the light of the immemorial era to him. Now, it is trying to eliminate me.”</p>
<p>“Do I really need to destroy the Spring Autumn Cicada in my body?”</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie was hesitant.</p>
<p>“We cannot get close to this soul beast! At this point, why are you still concealing your strength? Why aren’t you using the Gu formation?” Hei Lou Lan transmitted, urging.</p>

<h1>Chapter 104</h1>
<p>Eventually, Fang Yuan did not go downstairs, and his brother did not go up.</p>
<p>The two persisted, and the distance between the floors indicated that the distance between the brothers were enlarging.</p>
<p>The talk was not smooth.</p>
<p>“Brother, you are just too much! To think that you are such a person!” Downstairs, Fang Zheng stood, his brows creasing tightly as he screamed.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was not angry, but laughed lightly, “Oh, what kind of person am I?”</p>
<p>“Brother!” Fang Zheng sighed deeply, “After our parents died, Uncle and Aunt adopted us. They have the gratitude of raising us. To think that you are so heartless, returning favor with revenge. Big brother, is your heart made of stone?”</p>
<p>Saying so, Fang Zheng’s tone was slightly trembling.</p>
<p>“So strange, this inheritance is rightfully mine, what is there to be said about revenge and favour.” Fang Yuan retorted unenthusiastically.</p>
<p>Fang Zheng gritted his teeth, acknowledging, “Yes! I know, this inheritance is from our parents. But you cannot take them all, you have to at least leave some for Aunt and Uncle to let them enjoy their life in retirement, right? Doing so, you really are making our hearts bitterly disappointed, you let me look down on you!”</p>
<p>Pausing, he continued, “Did you ever return home to see the living conditions that they are in now? Half the servants at home were already retrenched, they cannot afford it. Brother, how can you be so cruel!”</p>
<p>Fang Zheng’s eyes were red, clutching his fist, he screamed at Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan laughed coldly, he knew that Uncle and Aunt had controlled the assets all these years and must have amassed a huge fortune. Even if this was not so, just with the profits at the end of the month from the wine tavern, they would be able to afford all those servants. They are only pretending to be poor so Fang Zheng would come and find trouble.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan used his gaze to size up Fang Zheng and said directly, “My adorable little brother, if I insist on not returning the assets, what can you do? Although you are sixteen, you have already acknowledged them as parents, don’t forget that. You have lost the rights to the inheritance.”</p>
<p>“I know!” Fang Zheng’s gaze had a divine light, “That’s why I am here to challenge you to a written war challenge<a href="footnote.xhtml#fn0104_01" id="fn0104_01"><sup>1</sup></a>. On the arena, let’s have a match to decide victory, if I win, return a portion of the family asset to mother and father.”</p>
<p>This world’s Gu battles were like the Earth’s martial arts competitions.</p>
<p>Between clansmen, if they had unresolvable conflict, they could use this method to settle the problem. There were many types of Gu battles — 1 versus 1, 2 versus 2, battle of arts, battle of strength, and life and death battle.</p>
<p>Of course, Fang Yuan and Fang Zheng would not be so serious as to fight to the death if they had a Gu battle.</p>
<p>Seeing the brother’s determined expression, Fang Yuan suddenly laughed, “It seems that before this, Uncle and Aunt specifically told you huh. But, as someone who lost to me before, you have such confidence of winning me?”</p>
<p>Fang Zheng squinted, unwillingly thinking of what happened not long ago — the humiliation on the arena.</p>
<p>Ever since, every time he thought about it, rage would rise from his heart. This rage was directed towards Fang Yuan as well as himself.</p>
<p>He hated himself for being useless, being frantic at the critical moment. As a matter of fact, he had underperformed in that battle. His tempo was taken away by Fang Yuan, and he only thought of using the Jade Skin Gu at the last moment. In the end, he lost abruptly and very indignantly.</p>
<p>Fang Zheng’s anger towards himself fuelled even more intense indignance.</p>
<p>Thus, unavoidably, he had such a thought — “If I could redo it, I can definitely perform better and defeat my older brother!”</p>
<p>Thus, when Uncle and Aunt complained to him, Fang Zheng not only wanted to take back the inheritance for the two of them, but also wanted to fight Fang Yuan again to prove himself.</p>
<p>“Things are different now, brother.” Fang Zheng looked at Fang Yuan, his eyes burning with determination, fires blazing around him, “Last time, I performed badly and lost to you. This time, I have successfully refined the Rank two Gu worm Moon Raiment. You cannot break my defense anymore!”</p>
<p>Saying so, he emitted a vague light blue fog around his body.</p>
<p>The fog enveloped him, and in the mist, it eventually formed into a long floating ribbon.</p>
<p>The ribbon looped around his waist and coiled around his two limbs<a href="footnote.xhtml#fn0104_02" id="fn0104_02"><sup>2</sup></a>. The middle section of the ribbon drifted above his head, causing Fang Zheng to give out a sort of graceful and mysterious magical breath.</p>
<p>“Indeed, it is the Moon Raiment, how foolish, revealing your trump card like that.” Fang Yuan stood on the stairs, seeing this scene, his gaze twinkled.</p>
<p>Moon Raiment was a Rank two Gu worm with defensive properties. Although the defense was slightly lower than the White Jade Gu, it could assist others in defending and had greater contribution towards small group fights.</p>
<p>With this Gu in his hands, Fang Yuan really could not break Fang Zheng’s defense with his bare fists. Sending the fist over was like hitting cotton, absolutely losing its kinetic force.</p>
<p>Even if he used the Moonlight Gu, he could not breakthrough unless it was the Moonglow Gu. Thus if Fang Zheng wanted to fight and invited Fang Yuan to a Gu battle, according to the clan rules he has to accept. Without revealing the White Jade Gu, Fang Yuan might really lose.</p>
<p>A grade is A grade, and with the clan leader’s nurture, Fang Zheng is growing rapidly. It could be said that, during the academy phase, Fang Yuan suppressed Fang Zheng. But now he had to admit, Fang Zheng was starting to show the brilliance of a genius and was showing imposing threat to Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>“But, you think I did not expect this?” Fang Yuan stared down at his brother, his lips curling.</p>
<p>He said to Fang Zheng, “My persistent little brother, of course you can challenge me. But have you gotten the approval of your teammates? If during the battle, your group has to go on a mission, how would you choose?”</p>
<p>Fang Zheng paused; indeed, he did not think of this.</p>
<p>He had to admit, his brother was right. The group had to work together, and if teammates wanted to go on individual operations, they would need to report first.</p>
<p>“Thus, you might as well go back, find that leader Gu Yue Qing Shu of yours, and explain the situation. I’ll wait for you guys at the northern gate’s wine tavern,” Fang Yuan said.</p>
<p>Fang Zheng hesitated slightly, then gritted his teeth, “I’ll go now, brother! But let me tell you, delay tactics don’t work.”</p>
<p>He came to Gu Yue Qing Shu’s residence, and the family servant led him in.</p>
<p>Gu Yue Qing Shu was practising using his Gu.</p>
<p>His body was moving around in the garden’s arena stage, extremely agile and fit.</p>
<p>“Green vine Gu,” he lightly said, and from his right palm, a green vine shot out. It was around fifteen meters. Qing Shu grabbed the vine and used it as a whip, splitting, coiling and sweeping around.</p>
<p>Pow pow pow!</p>
<p>The shadow of the whip swept across the floor, sending the concrete on the broken ground flying.</p>
<p>“Pine needle Gu.” He suddenly kept the vine whip, and flipped his long green hair.</p>
<p>Immediately, from among the hair pine needles shot out like rain.</p>
<p>The pine needles hit the wooden puppet not far away, piercing its entire body and creating close and numerous pinholes.</p>
<p>“Moonwhirl Gu.” Next, he placed out his left palm, and a green-coloured crescent insignia glowed in a bright green light.</p>
<p>With a flick of his wrist, the green moonblade was sent flying.</p>
<p>Different from the trajectory of a normal moonblade, this green moonblade was more curved. While flying in the air, it travelled in an arc, making it harder for enemies to predict.</p>
<p>“As expected of the number one Gu Master among the Rank two, Senior Qing Shu! With such an attack, I can’t even last for ten breaths. He’s really too strong.” Fang Zheng stared with his mouth wide open, forgetting his original intention in the first place.</p>
<p>“Oh? Fang Zheng, why are you here. The previous mission just ended, you have to rest more, got to keep that balance between work and rest!” Gu Yue Qing Shu upon noticing Fang Zheng, kept away his fighting aura and smiled gently.</p>
<p>“Senior Qing Shu.” Fang Zheng bowed to him respectfully.</p>
<p>This respect was sincerely from his heart. Ever since he joined the group, Fang Zheng had been attentively taken care of by Qing Shu, and in Fang Zheng’s eyes, Qing Shu was like an elder brother.</p>
<p>“Oh Fang Zheng, it seems you have business with me?” Qing Shu wiped the sweat off his forehead while going towards Fang Zheng with a smile.</p>
<p>“It’s like this…” Fang Zheng said his intentions, as well as the entire story.</p>
<p>Hearing so, Qing Shu’s eyebrows slightly rose. The truth is that he had heard a lot about Fang Yuan, and when compared to Fang Zheng, he was more interested in Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>“Might as well meet him for once.”</p>
<p>Thinking so, Gu Yue Qing Shu nodded, “I have something to discuss with your brother as well. In that case, let’s go together.”</p>
<p>Fang Zheng was overjoyed, “Thank you senior!”</p>
<p>“Hehehe, no need to thank me, we’re in the same group.” Qing Shu patted Fang Zheng’s shoulders.</p>
<p>Fang Zheng could feel warmth in his heart, his eyes unwillingly turning red.</p>
<p>The two got to the tavern. A shop assistant had been expecting them all along, and brought them inside.</p>
<p>On a square table by the window, there were several side dishes and two wine cups, and a pot of wine.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan sat on one side, and when he saw Gu Yue Qing Shu, he smiled and extended his hand, “Please sit.”</p>
<p>Gu Yue Qing Shu nodded to Fang Yuan. He took his seat, then said to Fang Zheng, “Fang Zheng, go take a stroll around, I’ll talk with your brother.”</p>
<p>He was a smart person. Upon seeing only two wine cups, he knew that Fang Yuan wanted to have a chat alone.</p>
<p>The truth is, he had such intentions as well.</p>
<p>Fang Zheng acknowledged and left the shop indignantly.</p>
<p>“I know you, Fang Yuan.” Qing Shu smiled, opening the wine pot skillfully, pouring a cup for Fang Yuan and one for himself.</p>
<p>“You are a very interesting, smart person.” Saying so, he raised his cup towards Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan laughed and raised his cup as well to return the toast.</p>
<p>The two drank it in one shot together.</p>
<p>Qing Shu poured another for Fang Yuan again, as well as for himself.</p>
<p>As he poured, he said, “There’s no point beating about the bush when talking to a smart person. I’ll be open, I want to buy your Liquor worm, how much would you sell it?”</p>
<p>He did not ask Fang Yuan if he was selling it, but asked directly — How much, showing his immense confidence.</p>
<p>He was the number one Rank two Gu Master. At a young age, he reached Rank two peak stage, overpowering the Rank two upper stage Chi Shan and Mo Yan.</p>
<p>Once he appeared, he took the initiative and poured the wine and toasted Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>His confidence together with his gentle smile formed a unique aura. It was not overbearing and forceful which could make people disgusted, but it made others feel his persistence.</p>
<p>His long green hair, and the winter sunlight shining through the window and unto his fair, gently streaked face. This let Fang Yuan subconsciously think of the bright and beautiful radiance of spring.</p>
<p>“A truly talented person. What a shame,” Fang Yuan thought.</p>
<p>He was not bothered by Qing Shu’s act of taking over the initiative. In fact Fang Yuan was slightly appreciative of him, and he sighed lightly.</p>

<h1>Chapter 1040</h1>
<p>“Friend, please wait.” From the desolate beast qi grand lion, Qi Zai’s voice came over.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan stopped and gazed back.</p>
<p>After he was far away from Rotten Mud Mountain, he had dispelled the immortal killer move familiar face.</p>
<p>Rank eight Immortal Gu attitude Gu consumed mental energy, if it were maintained for a long time, it would wear out Fang Yuan’s mind.</p>
<p>Moreover, because Fang Yuan’s modified familiar face lacked change form Immortal Gu, it led to an increase in the quantity of the Gu worms, with over a thousand supplementary mortal Gu, and it also required more time and concentration to activate these Gu worms.</p>
<p>So when Qi Zai saw Fang Yuan from afar, he did not feel he was the culprit, he only had some doubts at most.</p>
<p>As they got closer, Qi He also saw Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan wore a white robe and looked like he was not marred by a speck of dust, his skin was white like snow and his eyes twinkled like stars, with long dark hair that reached down to his waist.</p>
<p>Even though Qi He was already old, over fifty years old, when she saw Fang Yuan, her eyes brightened and she thought: “This Gu Immortal senior has such a refined and graceful bearing, and sagely demeanor, I have rarely seen anything like it before in my life!”</p>
<p>“Senior, why did you call me?” Fang Yuan’s expression was tranquil as he asked this with his fists cupped in front of him.</p>
<p>He did not use familiar face and his rank six cultivation level was clearly displayed.</p>
<p>While Qi Zai was emitting rank seven aura.</p>
<p>In this world, the strong were respected, Fang Yuan’s greeting was natural and graceful. If he had his hands behind his back and showed an arrogant attitude, that would be unusual behavior.</p>
<p>Qi Zai also inwardly praised Fang Yuan’s conduct, his expression softening slightly as he said: “It is only to verify some things.”</p>
<p>He then shook his sleeve, from where a mud ball shot out.</p>
<p>The mud ball started expanding and soon turned into the size of an elephant. After another transformation, it turned into the shape of Ni Jian.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s gaze became slightly dark.</p>
<p>Ni Jian gazed towards Fang Yuan, at first he had a puzzled look, it soon turned into incomparably intense hatred.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s appearance was hugely different, but deep down, a sense of intuition told Ni Jian that the young man in front of him was the culprit!</p>
<p>“It’s you, it’s you! You demon, you forced my grandpa to die and even slaughtered my whole clan.”</p>
<p>As he said this, Ni Jian charged towards Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>“Oh?” Qi Zai’s expression changed, his gaze turning cold as he sized up Fang Yuan again.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan felt Qi Zai’s gaze piercing his body like a needle.</p>
<p>With a cold snort, Fang Yuan waved his arm and immediately clouds started to surge out, covering the scenery as he quickly made his retreat.</p>
<p>“Sure enough, there are an endless number of methods developed by Gu Immortals, it’s virtually impossible to defend against all of them effectively. They could actually find me?”</p>
<p>The enemy was a rank seven Gu Immortal, of a higher rank than Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>There was no doubt that this was a strong enemy.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan immediately had the intention to retreat.</p>
<p>“Stop!” Qi Zai shouted as he noticed this. His right hand took on the shape of an eagle claw and swept ferociously at the clouds and the mist in the sky.</p>
<p>Swoosh!</p>
<p>It was like the sound of a huge wave.</p>
<p>The clouds and the mist that filled the sky instantly dissipated.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan who was still retreating, was exposed.</p>
<p>Qi Zai faced Fang Yuan and opened his mouth, inhaling air.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan immediately felt an enormous suction force over his whole body, causing his speed to rapidly decline.</p>
<p>At this moment, the mudman, Ni Jian, had already flown close to him.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s gaze flashed, his expression was indifferent.</p>
<p>“Die!” Ni Jian punched his fist, it caused a gust of wind to blow!</p>
<p>The fist’s momentum was terrifying, as if it would destroy anything it struck.</p>
<p>Ni Jian was originally only a rank two Gu Master, but after being killed by the beast group, he was revived as a mudman by Qi Zai using a mud monster corpse.</p>
<p>His strength had thus increased rapidly and was at the level of a desolate beast, and could match ordinary rank six Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>Just from this, one could see how strange and terrifying the rank seven Gu Immortal Qi Zai’s method was.</p>
<p>Ni Jian’s fist ruthlessly charged at Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>But the next moment, Fang Yuan’s figure dispersed, turning into clouds and mist.</p>
<p>Qi He exclaimed in surprise as she had not expected such a scene.</p>
<p>Qi Zai, however, showed no surprise on his face, he looked to his right as he flicked his finger.</p>
<p>Mortal killer move — Divine Flick.</p>
<p>A pellet of qi, the size of a thumb, moved towards Fang Yuan so quickly that he actually was not able to dodge it.</p>
<p>This time, his real body was exposed.</p>
<p>Qi Zai let out a breath.</p>
<p>Immediately, a thick and translucent rotating current of qi appeared around Ni Jian’s waist. The current of qi constantly revolved around his waist, and Ni Jian’s speed was multiplied a few times over.</p>
<p>“Hand over your life!” Ni Jian roared as he once again charged towards Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan frowned.</p>
<p>His whole body was covered in lion fur armor, the divine flick just now did not cause him any harm and only forced him to appear.</p>
<p>“A qi path Gu Immortal…” He thought to himself.</p>
<p>The history of qi path was older than even strength path, and its decline was also much more extreme than strength path.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had not expected he would actually run into a rare qi path Gu Immortal in Southern Border.</p>
<p>No wonder he was chased and the truth of his massacre of Ni clan was exposed. In qi path, there naturally were secret methods passed down over countless years which Fang Yuan did not understand clearly.</p>
<p>“I only massacred Ni clan, what does it have to do with these two Gu Immortals? In my previous life’s memories, there were no Gu Immortal ancestors of Ni clan around.” Fang Yuan was puzzled.</p>
<p>“Ahhhhhhhh!” Ni Jian charged over once again.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was starting to feel a slight headache.</p>
<p>He had already fought against a desolate beast mud monster, they did not have any fatal weakness.</p>
<p>Even using the rank seven flying sword Immortal Gu had little effect.</p>
<p>But this did not mean Fang Yuan had no way to deal with it.</p>
<p>He swayed lightly as he pounced forward, he raised his hands, which were covered in a layer of cold white frost.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan lightly struck Ni Jian’s body with his palms.</p>
<p>Ni Jian’s offensive was crude, while Fang Yuan’s movement was like a leaf swaying in the wind, nimble and graceful.</p>
<p>Ni Jian was quite lacking in battle experience, he was not able to even touch Fang Yuan’s clothes.</p>
<p>On the contrary, Fang Yuan’s moves were nimble and refined, his frosted palms continuously striking Ni Jian’s body.</p>
<p>Soon, Ni Jian was covered in a layer of white frost, his speed sharply reduced, moreover the translucent current of qi rotating around his waist had already been dissipated by Fang Yuan’s attacks.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had Immortal Gu but they were all rank seven, he could not use them lightly.</p>
<p>So he used the mortal killer move, lion fur armor, to pass this hurdle.</p>
<p>And the surging clouds before as well as his current hands of frost were both superior mortal killer moves.</p>
<p>The former originated from Tai Bai Yun Sheng, while the latter was obtained from Xue Song Zi.</p>
<p>Tai Bai Yun Sheng primarily cultivated time path while cultivating cloud path as a secondary path, he would often spar with Fang Yuan, and Fang Yuan was thus able to grasp his mortal methods.</p>
<p>And before his rebirth, Fang Yuan had captured and searched Xue Song Zi’s soul.</p>
<p>Back then, Xue Song Zi’s soul had been tampered by Shadow Sect’s side, Fang Yuan could not get information about Shadow Sect (Spectral Soul Demon Venerable was, after all, the founder of soul path), however, Xue Song Zi’s own process of growth during life, his cultivation insights and other experiences of his were all probed out by Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>These were all used by Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>As for the Gu worms needed for the mortal killer moves, they were all taken from Lang Ya land spirit.</p>
<p>And when Fang Yuan massacred Ni clan, he had freely practiced with them against the desolate beast mud monster.</p>
<p>Qi Zai’s expression sank when he saw Ni Jian, with rank six battle strength, being toyed around by Fang Yuan, he again used his mortal killer move, divine flick, to send out countless pellets of qi.</p>
<p>These pellets of wi were extremely fast, Fang Yuan was only able to dodge a few before he could not dodge anymore, and had to use his lion fur armor to block them head on.</p>
<p>Lion fur armor had extremely strong defense, somewhat surpassing Qi Zai’s expectations.</p>
<p>He snorted as he changed his method, from afar, he made a cutting motion with his hand towards Fang Yuan’s direction.</p>
<p>Every time he made this movement, a blade of qi would instantly be formed.</p>
<p>Lion fur armor could only endure two slashes before Fang Yuan had to use other methods, a layer of black, oil-like sticky liquid appeared on the lion fur armor’s surface.</p>
<p>The power of the blades of qi immediately lowered when they struck the black oil, the sharpness was greatly reduced and when they impacted on the lion fur armor, the effect was reduced by sixty percent.</p>
<p>This black, oil-like defensive killer move was from Hei Cheng.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had obtained this killer move when he searched Hei Cheng’s soul and was using it now.</p>
<p>Most of the killer moves he had obtained by soul searching had been trained countless times by their respective Gu Masters. Although they could not raise Fang Yuan’s attainment level, these cultivation insights could allow Fang Yuan to have shortcuts to their results.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan only needed to train with these mortal killer moves a little to use them with ease.</p>
<p>As Qi Zai saw this, he snorted, two gusts of fire qi puffed out of his nose.</p>
<p>The fire qi dispersed in the air, turning into an inferno that rushed towards Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>At the same time, Ni Jian was fighting with everything he had.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan continued to hit with his palms against the mudman.</p>
<p>At this time, the inferno was already right in front of him.</p>
<p>He laughed as he activated a cloud path killer move, immediately, nine rings of clouds appeared around him.</p>
<p>This was Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s defensive killer move — Nine Cloud Ring.</p>
<p>The inferno was completely blocked by the rings of clouds and absorbed. Four formerly white rings of clouds were dyed red.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan stretched out both hands and grabbed at the air.</p>
<p>Gusts of air gathered in the center of his palms and quickly formed into two black spheres.</p>
<p>Mortal killer move — Dark Vortex.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan flew forward, his hands continuously moving as spheres of dark vortexes were fired towards Qi Zai.</p>
<p>Qi He, who was beside Qi Zai, exclaimed in shock when she sensed the danger hidden within the dark vortexes.</p>
<p>Qi Zai counterattacked, using blades of qi, pellets of qi as well as the fire qi he snorted out of his nose.</p>
<p>Both sides went at each other, neither yielding even a step.</p>
<p>Qi He was getting dazed, unable to keep up with battle methods of Gu Immortals that were on display.</p>
<p>She had just ascended to an immortal, mortal battles were almost always carried out on the ground, it would never be like this where they flew up and down in a fast paced movement.</p>
<p>“I am almost certain he is genuinely a qi path Gu Immortal.” Fang Yuan observed while he fought, gathering intelligence.</p>
<p>The battle had lasted for so long, but Qi Zai was still sitting comfortably on the back of the qi grand lion.</p>
<p>Even when Fang Yuan’s dark vortexes and other killer moves bypassed his flurry of attacks and struck his body, they would be blocked easily by his condensed qi.</p>
<p>Qi Zai had the upper hand, but he was far from at ease in his mind.</p>
<p>“What is going on?”</p>
<p>“This guy… what path does he cultivate?”</p>
<p>The more Qi Zai battled, the more puzzled he was.</p>
<p>He was somewhat confused.</p>
<p>The mortal killer moves Fang Yuan used all had the signs of being amplified by dao marks.</p>
<p>But the killer moves already covered many paths like wind path, cloud path, dark path, strength path and other paths!</p>
<p>Qi Zai was really puzzled.</p>
<p>This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.</p>

<h1>Chapter 1041</h1>
<p>Fang Yuan’s situation was very weird, Qi Zai could not help but feel wary.</p>
<p>“What sort of dao marks does he have, why can he use the killer moves of different paths and receive an amplification effect, without any hindrances?”</p>
<p>Qi Zai seemed to be preparing while waiting patiently and at ease, but in fact, he was working hard at racking his brains.</p>
<p>“As far as I know, in history, only one person could do this… that was Reckless Savage Demon Venerable!”</p>
<p>There were a number of Demon Venerables in human history, among them was Reckless Savage, he was the founder of strength path and had also cultivated transformation path.</p>
<p>Historical records had stated that he could transform into countless things, and his dao marks could change at will.</p>
<p>For example, when Reckless Savage Demon Venerable turned into a lightning wolf, he would be able to use lightning path killer moves. When he became a swamp crab, he would be able to use earth path killer moves without feeling any disturbance and weakening from other dao marks.</p>
<p>Ordinary transformation path Gu Masters could only specialize in one kind of transformation. For example, in Northern Plains’ imperial court contest, Cheng Long and Cheng Hu could only transform into a dragon and tiger respectively.</p>
<p>As for transformation path Gu Immortals, for example, He Lang Zi, he could turn into three types of wolves, having different dao marks on him. But when he switched his dao marks, he had to wait for some time and use certain methods to get rid of the original dao marks and prevent the disturbance of dao marks of other paths.</p>
<p>This problem had troubled every single transformation path Gu Master and Gu Immortal in history.</p>
<p>Except one person.</p>
<p>That was Reckless Savage Demon Venerable.</p>
<p>He could transform at will without considering the interference between dao marks.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, after Reckless Savage Demon Venerable died, his method was not passed down, countless talented individuals had tried to learn his methods, but their results had been failure, obtaining nothing.</p>
<p>“Don’t tell me that this enemy here has inherited a crucial transformation path inheritance of Reckless Savage Demon Venerable?” Qi Zai thought of this and felt a fire of excitement burning in him.</p>
<p>Other than this explanation, he could not think of anything else.</p>
<p>“Of course, Gu Masters cultivate in various ways, there are countless numbers of people and methods, not all of them follow conventional wisdom.” Qi Zai squinted, he was still very calm.</p>
<p>Actually, his guess that Fang Yuan had obtained a true inheritance of Reckless Savage Demon Venerable was still an underestimation of Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan could do this because he had the rank nine sovereign immortal fetus Gu that Spectral Soul Demon Venerable refined.</p>
<p>This Immortal Gu was not ordinary!</p>
<p>Not only was it the crucial thing needed for Spectral Soul Demon Venerable’s revival, it was also his hope of surpassing all of the venerables in history.</p>
<p>In the past, after Spectral Soul Demon Venerable died, he was not resigned to that fate.</p>
<p>Thus, he built Shadow Sect and planned meticulously. During that time, he not only revised on the knowledge gained during his life, he even searched for countless inheritances all over the world. Among these inheritances, there were Gu Master inheritances of all kinds, they could give Spectral Soul Demon Venerable new inspiration and brand new directions. There were also Gu Immortal inheritances and even a number of the other venerables’ inheritances.</p>
<p>Shadow Sect could obtain one of Red Lotus Demon Venerable’s true inheritances, the most mysterious venerable in history, not to mention the other venerables.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul Demon Venerable controlled Shadow Sect and set up Zombie Alliance over the five regions, after tens of thousands of years, he accumulated his foundation and researched, putting in immense effort and making huge sacrifices.</p>
<p>Eventually, he gathered all his knowledge and made use of the key aspects of it, creating the rank nine sovereign immortal fetus Gu.</p>
<p>One could say, this Immortal Gu was not just the materialization of Spectral Soul Demon Venerable’s soul path, it also showed his immense accumulation of the essence of other paths, it was an unparalleled treasure.</p>
<p>Even though heaven’s will used Fang Yuan as a tool, at the crucial moment, Fang Yuan, as an otherworldly demon, broke free of its manipulation, using sovereign immortal fetus Gu for himself.</p>
<p>Qi Zai felt suspicion, even though Fang Yuan had rank six aura, he did not dare to be careless.</p>
<p>He was probing Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>He was a rank seven Gu Immortal, even if he did not have any rank seven Immortal Gu, he had rank six Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>Earlier, the method of extracting the mud ball of grudge qi to create the mudman Ni Jian was an immortal method.</p>
<p>But he did not use Immortal Gu right now.</p>
<p>Immortal Gu were the trump cards of Gu Immortals, when used, they expended immortal essence!</p>
<p>Qi Zai only had a low grade blessed land, unless it was a crucial moment, he would not use Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>Of course, immortal essence was not the main reason, the most important reason was that once he used Immortal Gu, the information would be known by the enemy.</p>
<p>The number and specific types of Gu worms that a Gu Master owned were confidential secrets. Once intelligence was leaked, the Gu Master could be countered using specific means.</p>
<p>The same applied to Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>During an initial battle, without knowledge of the background of one another, Gu Immortals would try to probe each other first.</p>
<p>While Qi Zai was probing Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan was also probing him.</p>
<p>All sorts of mortal killer moves were used by Fang Yuan, together with his handsome appearance, Qi He’s attention was greatly captured.</p>
<p>Similar to Qi Zai, even though Fang Yuan had Immortal Gu, he could not use them casually.</p>
<p>Even though the rank seven sword path Immortal Gu were powerful, Fang Yuan only had rank six green grape immortal essence, this was inferior to that of the rank seven Gu Immortal Qi Zai.</p>
<p>If not for Fang Yuan joining Lang Ya Sect, he would not have enough immortal essence stones to replenish his immortal essence, he would lose this battle for sure.</p>
<p>Both sides fought continuously, attacking and defending at various times, the commotion was huge, Qi He watched unblinkingly, gasping in her mind.</p>
<p>Unavoidably, Qi Zai was gradually falling into disadvantage against Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>No matter how impressive mortal killer moves were, they did not have Immortal Gu in them. Thus, the amplification from Qi Zai’s dao marks was very limited, they could not exceed the level of effect from using an Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>In the long history of humanity, only one mortal killer move was publicly known to match Immortal Gu when activated.</p>
<p>That was the White Bone Chariot that Proud Bone Demon Lord Shen Jie Ao created.</p>
<p>This person was a rank eight demonic path Gu Immortal, he was proud for a good reason. In this particular achievement, none of the ten venerables could match him.</p>
<p>Even though Immortal Venerables and Demon Venerables were invincible, they were not omnipotent.</p>
<p>Specialists tackled their own fields, in the past, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable and Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable had asked Long Hair Ancestor to refine Gu for them.</p>
<p>In contrast, even though Fang Yuan’s dao mark accumulation was not as high as Qi Zai, he had a large number of methods and because the amplification towards mortal killer moves was limited, he could deal with his opponent.</p>
<p>Thus, gradually, Fang Yuan attacked more and defended less, gaining the initiative.</p>
<p>Qi Zai was fully aware of the battle situation in his mind. He frowned and began his counterattack.</p>
<p>Battlefield killer move — Qi Lockdown.</p>
<p>Immediately, the surrounding area was sealed, air was immobilized, forming a translucent temporary battlefield.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan smiled, he was not nervous.</p>
<p>This battlefield killer move was only mortal level, it had little threat towards Gu Immortals like him who had Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>Only if they were a rank six Gu Immortal without Immortal Gu would they feel like this was a huge threat.</p>
<p>And Fang Yuan already had this kind of battlefield killer move.</p>
<p>Immediately, he used a signature move of Xue Song Zi, battlefield killer move snow domain.</p>
<p>At once, qi lockdown was pushed aside, as coldness seeped into the surrounding air.</p>
<p>Qi He could not hold it in anymore, she gasped out loud.</p>
<p>In front of her eyes, the battlefield had been split into two, one was an icy domain, the other had motionless air.</p>
<p>Qi He’s perspective was still that of a mortal. This type of battlefield killer move, even though it was mortal level, was the trump card of every powerful mortal force. Unless it was an emergency, they would not use it normally, otherwise, they might get countered if enemies gained intelligence on it.</p>
<p>Just now, she witnessed two battlefield killer moves used in front of her, she felt that this trip was worth going on, she was satisfied with this eye-opening experience.</p>
<p>Seeing that Fang Yuan was still at ease, Qi Zai lost his patience, he took the lead to activate his Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>He was a vigilant person.</p>
<p>He did not use an immortal killer move, he only activated the Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>A rank six qi path Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan did not know what it was, Qi Zai was not stupid enough to use it while calling out the Immortal Gu’s name.</p>
<p>Once the Immortal Gu was activated, the entire battlefield changed drastically.</p>
<p>The qi lockdown battlefield dissipated, turning into fuel for the Immortal Gu. Snow domain could not resist it, a long rope of qi invaded it and pierced through.</p>
<p>This long rope of yin qi coiled around like a venomous jade snake, it was several meters long, assaulting Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan sighed, using his rank seven sword escape Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>Whoosh!</p>
<p>Immediately, he seemed to have turned into a sharp sword, piercing the air and flying away.</p>
<p>“So fast!” Qi He opened her mouth, extremely shocked. In the blink of an eye, Fang Yuan had flown almost beyond her vision.</p>
<p>It was a rank seven movement Immortal Gu after all, it had spectacular speed.</p>
<p>Qi Zai was shocked too.</p>
<p>He had estimated that Fang Yuan was a Gu Immortal specializing in snow path, wind path, or dark path, after all, the mortal killer moves that he used earlier were mostly from these three paths.</p>
<p>But when Fang Yuan used his Immortal Gu, it was sword path!</p>
<p>And it was a rank seven sword path Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>“What is this? He is not a transformation path Gu Immortal, but a sword path Gu Immortal?” Qi Zai felt like his brain was frying.</p>
<p>After probing for so long, he had thought that he found out some details about Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>But when he used his true methods, Fang Yuan actually displayed a rank seven sword path Immortal Gu!</p>
<p>And he flew so quickly!</p>
<p>“If this were in the past, I could only look on and sigh. It is a pity that you are unlucky, not long ago, I completed the immortal killer move that I had been designing for three years.”</p>
<p>Qi Zai snickered, whistling as he opened his mouth.</p>
<p>At the same time, aura burst out of his body, the aura surrounded him and Qi He, and penetrated into the qi grand lion’s body.</p>
<p>The qi grand lion cried out in pain, its eyes were red as it charged towards Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Under the effect of Qi Zai’s immortal killer move, the qi grand lion’s speed was astonishing!</p>
<p>In less than a few minutes, the qi grand lion carried the two Qi clan Gu Immortals and chased up to Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan saw this and felt a headache.</p>
<p>Qi Zai used his Immortal Gu again, summoning the long rope of yin qi.</p>
<p>Very evidently, it was the same Immortal Gu as before.</p>
<p>The yin qi rope coiled and flew towards Fang Yuan, rapidly getting closer.</p>
<p>“He did not use any other immortal killer moves, just a rank six Immortal Gu, is it because his movement killer move has a lot of Gu worms in it, he has to focus his attention on it?”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s eyes shined.</p>
<p>During the moment of crisis, his mind was still calm. He thought about it as he displayed his deep foundation in fighting.</p>
<p>When activating Immortal Gu, the aura of the Gu worm would leak, but when activating immortal killer moves, the leaked aura would be much more complex.</p>
<p>Thus, Qi Zai easily noticed that Fang Yuan’s Immortal Gu was rank seven and sword path.</p>
<p>And Fang Yuan could also easily notice that Qi Zai was using just the rank six Immortal Gu alone.</p>
<p>Of course, this was a typical case, it did not hold true all the time.</p>
<p>Some special methods could conceal the aura of Immortal Gu and mislead the enemy.</p>
<p>Flying sword Gu!</p>
<p>Fang Yuan pointed as his Immortal Gu shot out.</p>
<p>Flying sword Immortal Gu was peerlessly sharp, the yin qi rope was cut into pieces easily.</p>
<p>Qi Zai’s heart shook, he was shocked: “Why does he have another rank seven sword path Immortal Gu?”</p>
<p>“Is he really a sword path Gu Immortal?”</p>
<p>“Then, why did he use all those mortal killer moves?”</p>
<p>“Why are both his Immortal Gu rank seven?”</p>
<p>“Don’t tell me, he is a rank seven Gu Immortal, and he is purposely concealing his aura to be rank six so that he can pretend to be weak when preying on others?”</p>
<p>Qi Zai could not guess Fang Yuan’s actual situation.</p>
<p>He had a vigilant nature and a tendency to think deeply, the more he analyzed, the more shocked he got, he was scaring himself!</p>

<body>
<h1>Chapter 1042</h1>
<p>Qi Zai’s mind was churning with thoughts, his expression turned grim.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was also frowning deeply.</p>
<p>He had used flying sword Gu earlier to destroy the yin qi, but it had recovered in an instant.</p>
<p>The yin qi rope flew towards Fang Yuan again. It was not going to stop until it coiled around Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>“Flying sword Gu might be strong, but against an obstacle that can disperse and gather at will, it cannot take it down.” Fang Yuan had a realization.</p>
<p>Earlier, when dealing with the desolate beast mud monster, he had such a feeling as well.</p>
<p>Now, facing a qi path Gu Immortal, this feeling emerged in him again.</p>
<p>Of course, this was because he lacked a relevant killer move.</p>
<p>If he had a sword path killer move that could help flying sword Gu to scatter its attacks instead of focusing on one point, his problems would be resolved.</p>
<p>Actually, Fang Yuan had anticipated this situation.</p>
<p>Thus, he used sword escape Immortal Gu and tried to retreat.</p>
<p>But he did not think that the other party would have a movement killer move to chase him.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan fell into disadvantage.</p>
<p>Earlier, during the probing, he had the upper hand because of his countless mortal killer moves.</p>
<p>But now, after using Immortal Gu and immortal killer moves, they were fighting for real, he got into a disadvantage very quickly.</p>
<p>The other party was a rank seven Gu Immortal, his cultivation level was higher than Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>It was to be expected that Fang Yuan could not beat him.</p>
<p>In fact, it was already not easy to get to this point.</p>
<p>“I only have two Immortal Gu, while he is rank seven with higher cultivation level than me and has more methods. If he has an immortal battlefield killer move, even if I have flying sword Immortal Gu, I would not be able to break out. I cannot stay here!”</p>
<p>Sword Escape!</p>
<p>Fang Yuan activated this rank seven Immortal Gu again, flying into the sky.</p>
<p>“Heh, he is very vigilant.” Qi Zai snorted coldly.</p>
<p>His fighting style was to drain his opponent’s resources and draw out the battle.</p>
<p>When the yin qi rope breaks, the aura would disperse and as time passes, the entire battlefield would favor qi path more.</p>
<p>By then, even if Qi Zai did not use Immortal Gu, his strength would be higher, and he would be able to spend less immortal essence, it was a very good strategy that benefited him.</p>
<p>But Fang Yuan had already decided to fly away and escape after a short battle.</p>
<p>Every round was basically at a new location.</p>
<p>Qi Zai could not accumulate his advantage.</p>
<p>Gu Masters had limited movement speed, they were often restricted to fighting at a particular place. But Gu Immortals could travel far, moving thousands of li easily, they were different from Gu Masters. Thus, it was easy to defeat a Gu Immortal, but very difficult to kill them, unless one had an immortal level battlefield killer move to trap them.</p>
<p>However, these types of battlefield killer moves took time to set up. When Gu Immortals fought, they could only set up the arrangements in secret if they were in front of the enemy, they had to conceal their actions for the trap to succeed.</p>
<p>Or like the time when Fang Yuan dealt with Hei Cheng, he set up the battlefield killer move in advance, luring his enemy into it.</p>
<p>Even though Fang Yuan escaped, Qi Zai had an immortal killer move to chase him.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had slaughtered Ni clan village, this was a place which Qi Zai was in charge of, if he let Fang Yuan go, he would have to be held to account for this.</p>
<p>Most importantly, Qi Zai was afraid that Fang Yuan was a descendant of the other clans.</p>
<p>In this thousand year bet, Qi clan was already going to win, at this juncture, he could not allow unexpected mishaps to occur.</p>
<p>Thus, Qi Zai had to investigate this matter.</p>
<p>He could not let it go.</p>
<p>After Fang Yuan escaped, he realized that Qi Zai had chased after him.</p>
<p>“How deep is his enmity? Why is he chasing me like this?” Fang Yuan was perplexed.</p>
<p>In his previous life’s memories, Ni clan did not have any Gu Immortals, this was why Fang Yuan acted so unrestrained. To think that he actually attracted the attack of Gu Immortals, and there were two of them, one rank six and one rank seven.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan could not guess Qi Zai’s motives. Because he knew nothing about the bet between the Five Xiangs.</p>
<p>He could only retreat while fighting.</p>
<p>Each time, he would use flying sword Immortal Gu to engage in a short fight before using sword escape Immortal Gu to retreat.</p>
<p>After many rounds of battle, Fang Yuan saw some details gradually.</p>
<p>“The rank six Gu Immortal beside him is behaving strangely, she is likely a newly ascended Gu Immortal. She calls the rank seven Gu Immortal great-uncle, the two of them should be blood related family members.”</p>
<p>“This rank six Gu Immortal is not a threat. If she could attack, she would have done so long ago to disrupt me. But in this entire battle, she has been sitting back and doing nothing.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan obtained much information, while Qi Zai also learned a lot about Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>“This odd fellow is really a rank six Gu Immortal. Hehe, he is actually using two rank seven Immortal Gu…”</p>
<p>Qi Zai did not know what to say about this situation.</p>
<p>Normally speaking, most rank six Gu Immortals did not even have one rank six Immortal Gu, they desired them greatly.</p>
<p>This person did not have any rank six Immortal Gu, but he took a big leap and had two rank seven Immortal Gu instead.</p>
<p>“But this step is too huge, I want to see how much green grape immortal essence you have to use these rank seven sword path Gu!”</p>
<p>Qi Zai snickered internally.</p>
<p>He was skilled in battles of attrition, with his higher cultivation level, and Fang Yuan using rank seven Immortal Gu, he was not in a rush.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan fought as he retreated, he followed after him closely, he was scheming and hard to shrug off.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan thought to himself: “Since the start of the battle, I have already used up tens of thousands of immortal essence stones. These were all obtained from Lang Ya land spirit, I am wasting my sect contribution points.”</p>
<p>“This person has a good plan, he wants to waste my immortal essence, I know his scheme but can do nothing about it.”</p>
<p>If he had rank six Immortal Gu, Fang Yuan would be able to fight in a sustained battle, he would not end up in this state.</p>
<p>With his rank six cultivation level, it was very difficult to make use of rank seven Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>Qi Zai could not catch Fang Yuan, while Fang Yuan could not leave him in the dust, the situation was in a deadlock.</p>
<p>After countless rounds of fighting, in order to maintain the situation, Fang Yuan had to continue to request for immortal essence stones from Lang Ya land spirit.</p>
<p>His Lang Ya Sect contribution points were nearing zero.</p>
<p>Qi Zai was shocked, it was beyond his expectations that Fang Yuan could hold on until now.</p>
<p>“This rank six Gu Immortal is very strange. He definitely has a huge secret, if I can obtain it, this might be the biggest fortuitous encounter in my life!”</p>
<p>Fighting to this extent, Qi Zai’s gaze was getting more heated, seeing Fang Yuan’s cold gaze, he felt like he was looking at a mobile treasure chest.</p>
<p>But at the next moment, Qi Zai’s gaze froze, he showed shock on his face.</p>
<p>He thought: “Isn’t the mountain range ahead the Five Regional Mountain Range? Oh no, so this is his plan. I cannot let him escape into the mountain range.”</p>
<p>This Five Regional Mountain Range was not simple.</p>
<p>It was created by a rank eight Gu Immortal from Southern Border, his name was Tao Zhu, he was known as the Restriction Expert.</p>
<p>This person cultivated restriction path, it was a branch of rule path, just like how emotion path was a branch of wisdom path.</p>
<p>People called him Restriction Expert, it was because he was the expert of restriction path in this generation, it showed how incredible his attainment was.</p>
<p>He had deep research regarding the five regional walls, he attempted to find a way to allow Gu Immortals to travel through the regional walls easily.</p>
<p>This Five Regional Mountain Range was created due to his research.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, after he died, there had been no progress. But this Five Regional Mountain Range was left behind and became a special area in Southern Border.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was restricted by Qi Zai, he was trying to find a way to escape.</p>
<p>He was very familiar with Southern Border, the Five Regional Mountain Range was his hope.</p>
<p>Qi Zai had been thinking of draining his immortal essence, this was in line with Fang Yuan’s objective, he was able to use sword escape Immortal Gu and after some hurdles, he flew for hundreds of thousands of li, arriving at this place.</p>
<p>Qi Zai had been in seclusion for some time, and because Fang Yuan was drawing his attention, he did not think of this area.</p>
<p>He quickly took action, trying to obstruct Fang Yuan, but Fang Yuan had two rank seven Immortal Gu, he was prepared, how could any obstruction work?</p>
<p>Qi Zai watched grimly as Fang Yuan entered the Five Regional Mountain Range.</p>
<p>He hesitated before making up his mind, saying to Qi He: “Sit here, I will let the qi grand lion protect you, you will be safe. After I kill him, I will come and find you.”</p>
<p>“Great-uncle, be careful!” Qi He said hurriedly.</p>
<p>Qi Zai nodded, air currents burst out behind him as he chased after Fang Yuan, entering the Five Regional Mountain Range.</p>
<p>Once he entered the mountain range, he felt a strong repulsive force directed at pushing him out.</p>
<p>As it turned out, this Five Regional Mountain Range was created by Restriction Expert, who replicated the regional walls. Once Gu Immortals enter, it would be like they were passing the regional walls.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan chose the part of this mountain range which was shining with golden light, it was a replica of Central Continent’s saint regional wall.</p>
<p>Qi Zai was a Southern Border Gu Immortal, when he entered, he was sure to face repulsion.</p>
<p>He knew Fang Yuan’s motive: “This crafty person came here, and because of his rank six cultivation level, he has the advantage. My rank seven cultivation level is facing more pressure than him in here.”</p>
<p>“No! This person is so suspicious, this concerns our Qi clan’s ancient bet, I need to kill him!”</p>
<p>Qi Zai was firm and determined, he did not waver in the face of difficulty.</p>
<p>Both parties stopped flying, they started to travel by foot on the Five Regional Mountain Range.</p>
<p>While another chase occurred here, in Central Continent’s Earth Abyss, a different battle had ended.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie, Tai Bai Yun Sheng, and Hei Lou Lan were surrounding the ancient soul beast’s corpse, searching for the soul core inside the soul beast’s body.</p>
<p>Soul beasts nurtured a soul core in their bodies, it was the size of an egg, but had a large number of soul path dao marks in it, it was a top tier refinement material. Other than this, the soul beast’s corpse would disappear after some time, it had no use.</p>
<p>“Where is it?” Tai Bai Yun Sheng searched for the soul core.</p>
<p>Hei Lou Lan said, praising with certain intent: “The Gu formation set here is truly amazing. In this short amount of time, even though this soul beast had the soul howl Immortal Gu, it still died.”</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie did not speak, he was frowning.</p>
<p>“This was caused by heaven’s will, it lured this ancient soul beast here. Just now, even though I killed it, I had to use the Gu formation.”</p>
<p>“The more I use the Gu formation, the higher the chances of getting exposed. After all, Central Continent’s Heavenly Court will try its best to find this place.”</p>
<p>At this time, Shi Nu transmitted to him secretly.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie analyzed to himself: “Hmm? Not long ago, Lang Ya land spirit used treasure yellow heaven to send dark limit Immortal Gu to Fang Yuan?”</p>
<p>“This Immortal Gu belonged to Shadow Sect, but it had perished with Jiang Yu. After that, because Lang Ya land spirit created Lang Ya Sect, he refined dark limit Immortal Gu so that the sect members could have an easier time moving around in the future.”</p>
<p>“This Gu can conceal aura and hide from heaven’s will. Hehe, indeed. Since I am targeted by heaven’s will, Fang Yuan’s situation is worse, he might be facing the assault of Gu Immortals now.”</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie made a casual guess, but he was actually on the mark.</p>
<p>However, Qi Zai did not succeed in killing Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Both parties fought in the Five Regional Mountain Range, Fang Yuan was heavily injured, but because he had lower cultivation level, he could move more freely and escaped from Qi Zai eventually.</p>
<p>Qi Zai saw that Fang Yuan had escaped, noting that his own condition was bad, he had no choice but to return.</p>
<p>Once he left the Five Regional Mountain Range, he saw Qi He.</p>
<p>“Great-uncle, you are finally back, I was so worried about you.” Qi Zai was prancing on the spot, seeing Qi Zai, she quickly went up to him.</p>
<p>Qi Zai felt warmth in his heart, but his expression turned grim, he scolded: “Foolish! I told you to stay with the qi grand lion, why did you not listen to me, instead coming here? This is a dangerous place!”</p>
<p>Qi Zai’s movement paused, she slowly walked to Qi Zai, lowering her head, apologizing: “I… I am sorry…”</p>
<p>Qi Zai grunted: “That person is already heavily injured by me, he was lucky and escaped. But if I see him again, I will definitely not… urgh!”</p>
<p>Qi Zai cried out.</p>
<p>He stared with wide opened eyes at Qi He.</p>
<p>A dark flying sword had pierced into his forehead, the tip of the sword was pointing out from the back of his head.</p>
<p>Qi He turned back to Fang Yuan’s appearance, he smiled lightly at Qi Zai.</p>
<p>Shock, regret, fear, all sorts of emotions filled Qi Zai’s mind.</p>
<p>But it was too late.</p>
<p>Bam.</p>
<p>He fell to the ground, creating a soft sound in the process.</p>
<p>He was dead.</p>

<h1>Chapter 1043</h1>
<p>In the Five Regional Mountain Range, five different colored lights filled the skies all year round.</p>
<p>The entire mountain range was divided into five areas based on the five different colored lights.</p>
<p>The dark purple light was the imitation of Southern Border’s miasma regional wall, the green mountain range was the imitation of Northern Plains’ licorice regional wall. The red portion was Western Desert’s raging flame regional wall. The deep blue portion was Eastern Sea’s blue water regional wall.</p>
<p>As for the white-gold mountain range, it was Central Continent’s saint regional wall.</p>
<p>The rank seven qi path Gu Immortal, Qi Zai, had died in the white-gold region in the Five Regional Mountain Range.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan let out a breath, he pulled out the flying sword Immortal Gu that was lodged in his opponent’s forehead.</p>
<p>Flying sword Immortal Gu was originally shining in silvery light, but now it was dim and did not have an aura emitting from it.</p>
<p>This was because of the immortal killer move dark assassination!</p>
<p>This move provided extraordinary concealment, once used, none of the aura of the rank seven immortal killer move would leak, others could not detect it.</p>
<p>Once used, the sword attacked quickly, at a speed which one could not react to.</p>
<p>The only weakness was that the attack range was small, the user had to be less than a hundred steps away.</p>
<p>This was truly a short distance.</p>
<p>Ordinary immortal killer moves could be used across huge distances, they were incomparable.</p>
<p>Thus, Fang Yuan had to take a risk, using familiar face to disguise his identity and get close to Qi Zai. The closer he got, the higher his chance of killing Qi Zai.</p>
<p>For this, Fang Yuan had to fight with Qi Zai and purposely get injured, so as to reduce Qi Zai’s suspicions.</p>
<p>Qi Zai dying from this move was not unreasonable.</p>
<p>Because Fang Yuan deceived him using the infamous familiar face.</p>
<p>Even though it was not the original version, the core was still rank eight attitude Gu, when used, this Gu could influence the minds of others, allowing them to feel Fang Yuan’s ‘attitude’, so as to lower their suspicions.</p>
<p>Even though Qi Zai was vigilant and it was hard to find vulnerabilities against him, with Fang Yuan’s scheming personality, he saw a weakness in Qi He instead during the battle.</p>
<p>Using Qi He, Fang Yuan took a risk and killed a rank seven expert with his rank six cultivation level.</p>
<p>This was an incredible result, if one was an ordinary rank six Gu Immortal, they might wish for the whole world to know about it.</p>
<p>But Fang Yuan only sighed in relief now, he did not show any expression of pride.</p>
<p>After rebirth, he had gone through a lot, he witnessed Spectral Soul undergoing the myriad tribulations, killing a rank seven Gu Immortal was already a small matter from his perspective.</p>
<p>“If you did not pursue me to this extent, I would not have taken the risk to kill you. Alright, let me see why you were so insistent on chasing me.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan grabbed at the air as he pulled out Qi Zai’s soul from his corpse.</p>
<p>Qi Zai cultivated qi path, his soul was just an ordinary Gu Immortal soul, it was not outstanding.</p>
<p>After dying, he was not like those from Shadow Sect, even though his soul was angry and unwilling, struggling intensely, he could do nothing against Fang Yuan’s actions.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan first inspected and ensured that this soul had no problems before stuffing him into the nine-five sovereign immortal aperture.</p>
<p>After entering the immortal aperture, large numbers of soul path Gu worms flew towards Qi Zai’s soul.</p>
<p>Soul search!</p>
<p>While Fang Yuan searched the soul, he activated familiar face and turned into Qi Zai’s appearance.</p>
<p>He did not forget that the rank six Gu Immortal Qi He was still outside.</p>
<p>Killing her would be much easier than killing Qi Zai, but to make this easier and safer, Fang Yuan decided to use the same method to assassinate Qi He as well.</p>
<p>His familiar face was not the original version, without change form Immortal Gu, he could only use over a thousand mortal Gu to replace it.</p>
<p>Thus, transforming his appearance was not instantaneous, he had to spend some time.</p>
<p>After he turned into Qi Zai’s appearance, he stored Qi Zai’s corpse and flew out of the Five Regional Mountain Range.</p>
<p>In the end, when he found Qi He, she was already dead.</p>
<p>What killed Qi He was none other than the desolate beast qi grand lion she was sitting on.</p>
<p>This qi grand lion was enslaved by Qi Zai originally. Once he died, the qi grand lion regained its freedom.</p>
<p>The qi grand lion was forced by Qi Zai to travel this much, it was already hungry.</p>
<p>If Qi He cultivated any other path, she might have survived, but she was a qi path Gu Immortal with a number of qi path dao marks, she was a delicacy to the qi grand lion.</p>
<p>Thus, as the qi grand lion was hungry, it attacked her after the control over it was gone.</p>
<p>Qi He was a newly advanced Gu Immortal, how could she match the qi grand lion, after a bit of resistance, she was killed by the qi grand lion and eaten by it.</p>
<p>It was pitiful, she cultivated her entire life and fortunately became an immortal, but the moment she started witnessing the glory of the Gu Immortal world, before she started her journey, she ended up in the desolate beast’s mouth.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan chased after the qi grand lion, using flying sword Immortal Gu and piercing its head in a few moves.</p>
<p>Flying sword Immortal Gu, which was shining in silvery light, rampaged inside the qi grand lion’s brain. The qi grand lion fell from the sky in pain, it grimaced and cried out painfully, eventually dying after its struggles ceased.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan felt glad when he saw this result.</p>
<p>This was the true power of the rank seven flying sword Immortal Gu!</p>
<p>Against Gu Immortals or the qi grand lion, once flying sword Immortal Gu dealt a critical strike through piercing, it could deal huge damage.</p>
<p>This was unlike the desolate beast mud monster which did not have any weaknesses in its body, Fang Yuan had a vexing time fighting it.</p>
<p>Other than feeling glad, Fang Yuan also felt a loss in wealth.</p>
<p>This rank seven Immortal Gu used too much immortal essence, after killing the qi grand lion, Fang Yuan’s expenditure rose again.</p>
<p>He could slowly kill it without using Immortal Gu and only using mortal killer moves.</p>
<p>But it would take far too long.</p>
<p>To avoid more trouble, Fang Yuan had to deal with it quickly.</p>
<p>After killing the qi grand lion, Fang Yuan cut open its stomach and took out Qi He’s minced corpse.</p>
<p>He checked carefully, he wanted to find the crucial area near her belly, it was the place where the immortal aperture was at in the Gu Immortal’s body.</p>
<p>Qi He’s aged body was already chewed up by the qi grand lion, after ending up in its stomach, half of the body was already dissolved.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan looked around for a long time before his gaze flashed, he picked out a piece of flesh.</p>
<p>Similar to Qi Zai’s corpse, Fang Yuan placed it into his immortal aperture.</p>
<p>As had been mentioned before, after killing a Gu Immortal, there were two ways to benefit from it. One was to place the immortal aperture down in the five regions, where they would form a blessed land or grotto-heaven, before attacking it and obtaining the resources inside. The other way was to place the immortal aperture into one’s own immortal aperture, making the immortal aperture self-detonate, the dao marks inside would be left behind for the victor.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was using the second method.</p>
<p>“After this battle, the qi path dao marks in me should increase drastically. From now on, when I use qi path Gu worms or killer moves, the amplification effect would exceed my other paths. It is a pity that I am not skilled in qi path, my qi path attainment level is only at ordinary level. But my immortal aperture will benefit, the environment will change slowly, it would help me when I grow resources that are related to qi path.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan flew into the air, concealing his traces as he flew among the clouds, thinking over his gains.</p>
<p>Ignoring Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>Qi Zai’s soul was a huge asset, it had great value waiting to be excavated.</p>
<p>As for how many qi path dao marks he would get, Fang Yuan could not estimate it. But he knew that no matter how many qi path dao marks he obtained, it could not match his other benefit!</p>
<p>He only discovered this benefit of his new body just now, but it exceeded Fang Yuan’s expectations, other than feeling surprise and joy, he also felt doubts and anticipation.</p>
<p>When he entered the Five Regional Mountain Range, he had a shocking discovery.</p>
<p>His body was unaffected by the Five Regional Mountain Range!</p>
<p>According to common sense, Fang Yuan was a Southern Border Gu Immortal, his body had the aura of Southern Border, no matter what other area relating to a particular region he entered in the Five Regional Mountain Range, he would be affected by it.</p>
<p>But after Fang Yuan went in, he could move freely with no obstructions.</p>
<p>After realizing this, Fang Yuan was puzzled, but it soon turned into joy, he had a guess in his mind: “This Five Regional Mountain Range was created by Restriction Expert Tao Zhu, who imitated the regional walls, if I can travel freely here, does that mean I can also pass the regional walls freely?”</p>
<p>After that, he thought about the pursuers behind him, he pretended to travel with much difficulty, like he was heavily obstructed.</p>
<p>Now, after killing Qi Zai, and settling the matter of the qi grand lion and Qi He, he had time to think, and realized that this was very likely.</p>
<p>“My new body is not an ordinary body, it has no parents, no origins from other people. It is formed from the rank nine sovereign immortal fetus Gu, if it is treated as an Immortal Gu, that would explain why I can freely travel across the regional walls.”</p>
<p>The five regional walls targeted Gu Immortals, not Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>In the past, when Feng Jiu Ge entered Northern Plains to investigate the truth of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, he sent a rank six information path Immortal Gu to his family, it could travel across Northern Plains and Central Continent, going through two regional walls without obstruction.</p>
<p>“If this guess is correct, why would I need to rush and refine Fixed Immortal Travel?” Fang Yuan flew as he thought, he got closer to a regional wall.</p>
<p>He wanted to verify this guess as quickly as possible.</p>
<p>From his perspective, he could not confirm if Fixed Immortal Travel was destroyed. It was only very likely because the special will had set Fixed Immortal Travel as the first one to be destroyed.</p>
<p>When Fang Yuan asked the current generation Ni Xiang about it, his focus was to confirm Ying Wu Xie’s current situation.</p>
<p>Secondly, he wanted to refine Fixed Immortal Travel to pass the regional walls and return to Lang Ya blessed land.</p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>Firstly, Lang Ya blessed land was safe, it survived seven waves of attacks in the five hundred years of his previous life, it was finally taken down by Heavenly Court after Feng Jiu Ge died. Secondly, a large number of his resources were inside Lang Ya blessed land, he could develop in peace there. The cost of using treasure yellow heaven was simply too high.</p>
<p>Lastly, a crucial immortal material, the light of the immemorial era, was needed to refine Fixed Immortal Travel. Even though Fang Yuan had some clues, he knew that hope was small. His biggest worries now were his calamities and tribulations. He was less than two months away from the first earthly calamity.</p>
<p>Fortune and disaster came together, his blessed land had such a deep foundation, its aptitude far surpassed the ten extreme physiques, the power of his calamities and tribulations would surely be extraordinary.</p>
<p>“If my guess is correct, I should give up on Fixed Immortal Travel! I should rush to Lang Ya blessed land and prepare amply for the calamities and tribulations! In just less than two months…”</p>
<p>He was no longer an immortal zombie, his immortal aperture was out of this world, the calamities and tribulations were like swords resting above his neck.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan looked at the vast clouds in the sky as he felt a strong sense of urgency.</p>

<h1>Chapter 1044</h1>
<p>Central Continent, Earth Abyss.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie looked at the rubble in front of him with an ugly expression.</p>
<p>Behind him were Hei Lou Lan, Tai Bai Yun Sheng, and the rank seven variant human Gu Immortal Shi Nu.</p>
<p>The battle strength of four Gu Immortals!</p>
<p>Of course, among them Shi Nu was the strongest, followed by Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng. Ying Wu Xie was still an immortal zombie with some borrowed Immortal Gu, he had not subdued Fang Yuan’s remaining Immortal Gu yet, his battle strength was the lowest.</p>
<p>Hei Lou Lan was forced by Ying Wu Xie to surrender, she was free from the alliance agreement with Fang Yuan, and was now Ying Wu Xie’s lackey.</p>
<p>Shi Nu was completely loyal to Ying Wu Xie.</p>
<p>And Tai Bai Yun Sheng, who did not know the truth, was not suspicious of Ying Wu Xie. Hei Lou Lan and Ying Wu Xie had worked together to deceive him, he was still in the dark.</p>
<p>“What is going on?” Tai Bai Yun Sheng looked ahead and asked in puzzlement.</p>
<p>Shi Nu replied heavily: “Earth Abyss is not a tranquil environment, tremors will appear at times within the earth. The tremors might cause a great cave-in, like what is happening here.”</p>
<p>A strange light flashed across Hei Lou Lan’s eyes: “This cave-in is simply too terrifying.”</p>
<p>Shi Nu nodded: “Yes, each cave-in in Earth Abyss would be gigantic, endless numbers of life forms would perish. The aftermath would be a huge amount of rubble stacked together, together with the grudge and death energy of the dead life forms and their blood, countless desolate level blood beasts, bone beasts, or even blood path and earth path wild Immortal Gu would be created. Master, what do we do now?”</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie looked ahead, after some time, he let out a breath.</p>
<p>He was gloomy internally, thinking: “This route is the safest way to leave Earth Abyss, previously created by Shadow Sect. I had just wanted to leave Earth Abyss, and at this timing, a cave-in happened. Coincidentally, it happened here, obstructing our path. Hehe.”</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie mentally sneered.</p>
<p>“This is the act of heaven’s will!”</p>
<p>“My main body defied heaven to refine Gu, resisting heaven’s will, causing heaven’s will to be expended greatly. But now it seems, heaven’s will has already mostly recovered.”</p>
<p>“I still have Spring Autumn Cicada with me, it has a lot of heaven’s will in it. Thus, I am like a torch in the darkness from heaven’s will’s perspective!”</p>
<p>“If I did not have investigative methods and did not slow down on purpose, I would be trapped inside the cave-in. Or if I was greedy in regards to the wild Immortal Gu here and refused to leave, I might be discovered by the Gu Immortals who came to investigate. Perhaps when I used the Gu formation earlier, the commotion was already detected by Heavenly Court, they have already started searching.”</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie had obtained the guidance of his main body’s will in the Red Lotus Demon Venerable true inheritance, he had a deep understanding of heaven’s will.</p>
<p>Heaven’s will had its limits, it would be expended as well. But because its foundation was the world of the five regions, heaven’s will could not be destroyed entirely, it could recover at a rapid speed.</p>
<p>Regarding heaven’s will, Fang Yuan was still kept in the dark, he was unaware and his knowledge could not compare with Ying Wu Xie.</p>
<p>“Heaven’s will is so troublesome, a large portion of the reason is due to that bitch Star Constellation!”</p>
<p>“My current body is ordinary, I need to refine Fixed Immortal Travel to travel over the five regions. By gathering the remnant forces of Shadow Sect, I can accumulate enough strength to attempt to save my main body.”</p>
<p>Thinking of this, Ying Wu Xie thought of Fang Yuan again.</p>
<p>Intense hatred rose inside him!</p>
<p>“Back then, when we designed the recipe of sovereign immortal fetus Gu, my main body thought about the five regional walls. Thus, Fang Yuan can not only pass the five regional walls now, he can freely change his aura to become a Gu Immortal from any of the five regions!”</p>
<p>“However… don’t think about having an easy time. Even though you are a complete otherworldly demon, and heaven’s will cannot influence your thoughts, it can influence others and create situations to eliminate you.”</p>
<p>“Also, every tribulation that you undergo is the best chance for heaven’s will to eradicate you.”</p>
<p>“I hope you can survive them all until I find the opportunity to eliminate you!”</p>
<p>Even though Ying Wu Xie hated Fang Yuan, the urgent matter at hand was to save his main body’s remnant soul.</p>
<p>Right now, his main body’s remnant soul was trapped in the dream realm.</p>
<p>As everyone knew, when the soul was in the dream realm, they would slowly worn down by the dream realm. Thus, Ying Wu Xie was pressed for time greatly now.</p>
<p>Compared to saving his main body, Fang Yuan was a minor matter.</p>
<p>Thus, the priority of Ying Wu Xie and the others was to refine Fixed Immortal Travel and gather their remaining forces, to return to Southern Border and break through the encirclement of the Southern Border Gu Immortals around the giant dream realm, to save Spectral Soul Demon Venerable.</p>
<p>Southern Border.</p>
<p>Sword escape Immortal Gu activated!</p>
<p>Swoosh.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s body was like a sword, sharp and cutting through the sky, forming a long white cloudy line behind him.</p>
<p>Using sword escape Immortal Gu alone would not create this white cloudy line behind him.</p>
<p>The problem was, Fang Yuan’s injuries were very severe now.</p>
<p>His injuries were so deep bones could be seen, cloud path dao marks were gathered in them, spilling out white clouds constantly.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s expression was pale, he was frowning deeply.</p>
<p>Behind him, about ten li away, a large group of ancient cloud beasts were chasing after him.</p>
<p>What caused Fang Yuan’s injuries were these ancient cloud beasts.</p>
<p>Even though Fang Yuan had the rank seven flying sword Immortal Gu, against cloud beasts which were similar to mud monsters, without a fixed body structure, they could not be dealt with.</p>
<p>“According to legend, Bo Qing created the immortal killer move myriad sword tribulation in the past, using flying sword Immortal Gu as the core to create ten thousand swords that shoot down like rain. After I return to Lang Ya blessed land, I must find immortal killer moves like this, I cannot have this weakness!” Such thoughts had appeared in Fang Yuan’s mind multiple times.</p>
<p>As it turned out, after Fang Yuan found out a secret of his new body, he had a new idea, abandoning his earlier plan and wanting to pass the regional walls to get back to Lang Ya blessed land.</p>
<p>But not long after that, he unexpectedly entered the attacking range of a group of ancient cloud beasts.</p>
<p>Cloud beasts were extremely rare, not just in Southern Border, but also the other four regions. It was no exaggeration to say that they were nearly ‘extinct’.</p>
<p>But Fang Yuan encountered a group of them, there were even ancient cloud beasts among them which had the battle strength of rank seven Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>When ancient cloud beasts were stationary, they were like clouds, very hard to detect.</p>
<p>Even though Fang Yuan was using investigative methods, he did not have investigative Immortal Gu, he only had mortal killer moves. Thus, he went into the territory of ancient cloud beasts.</p>
<p>After an intense battle, he managed to escape, but the ancient cloud beasts were unwilling to let him go, they chased after him.</p>
<p>In his vision, a trace of purple-black color could be seen from behind a mountain range.</p>
<p>Southern Border’s miasma regional wall was already within sight!</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was overjoyed.</p>
<p>His speed slowed drastically.</p>
<p>He had stopped using sword escape Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>This Immortal Gu was too expensive to use. Right now, Fang Yuan had already expended all of his Lang Ya Sect contribution points.</p>
<p>To save costs, Fang Yuan could only use sword escape Immortal Gu at certain times to maintain a safe distance from the cloud beasts.</p>
<p>Without sword escape Immortal Gu, Fang Yuan used mortal killer moves.</p>
<p>As a matter of fact, the speed of movement from them could not compare to the ancient cloud beasts.</p>
<p>A moment later, the cloud beasts were already very close to Fang Yuan, less than one li away.</p>
<p>Seeing that the cloud beasts were near, Fang Yuan had no choice but to use sword escape Immortal Gu again.</p>
<p>Whoosh!</p>
<p>His speed rose again, he shrugged off the ancient cloud beast group.</p>
<p>The purple-black miasma regional wall covered half of his vision.</p>
<p>Finally, when Fang Yuan got to the Southern Border regional wall, he did not hesitate, entering it immediately.</p>
<p>Zero obstruction!</p>
<p>It was as if the miasma regional wall in front of him was an illusion.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was overjoyed, he clenched his fists: “As expected! I was right, this sovereign immortal fetus Gu is truly mystical! From now on, even without Fixed Immortal Travel, I can travel freely over the five regions.”</p>
<p>Of course, Fang Yuan was not only considering this.</p>
<p>“This can also help me fight. The battle with Qi Zai earlier is a prime example. From now on, I can lure Gu Immortals into the regional walls before killing them!”</p>
<p>But his excitement only lasted for a short moment.</p>
<p>Soon, he frowned again.</p>
<p>Because he realized that the ancient cloud beasts behind him also went through the regional walls, with no signs of stopping the chase against him.</p>
<p>His guess was confirmed, Fang Yuan sighed to himself: “I knew it, I am actually so unlucky!”</p>
<p>“Cloud beasts are nearly extinct in Southern Border, even if they exist, they would only be a group of one or two desolate level cloud beasts. Groups of ancient cloud beasts like this only exist in white heaven and black heaven.”</p>
<p>“Seeing how white these ancient cloud beasts are, they must have flown down from white heaven to breed their next generation.”</p>
<p>Actually, cloud beasts were a special type of life form from the immemorial nine heavens. The cloud beasts in the five regions were also all from the immemorial nine heavens.</p>
<p>Cloud beasts had a trait.</p>
<p>Once in a while, they would fly down from the immemorial nine heavens, landing in the five regions and storing their cloud essence in the clouds in the sky.</p>
<p>The clouds that were storing cloud essence would not dissipate unless there was a strong external force.</p>
<p>Hundreds of years later, these clouds would turn into cloud beasts.</p>
<p>The infant cloud beasts were all desolate level each. Once they were alive, they would follow their instincts and fly towards the sky.</p>
<p>Passing the heavenly wind qi wall, they would return to their origins — the immemorial nine heavens.</p>
<p>During this process, the cloud beasts would be obstructed by the heavenly wind qi wall, and would be attacked by fierce beasts, as well as all sorts of natural phenomena causing danger. A very small number of them actually made it back to the immemorial nine heavens.</p>
<p>“I was so unlucky to actually encounter a cloud beast group after they bred, this luck is truly…” Fang Yuan was speechless.</p>
<p>“Logically speaking, I have already connected luck to many lucky people, even if my body and soul are split into two portions, my luck shouldn’t be this bad. Don’t tell me, to obtain sovereign immortal fetus Gu, I expended a huge amount of luck, in this way, disaster follows after great fortune?”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan flew within the miasma regional wall as a group of ancient cloud beasts followed behind him.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had crashed into the place where the ancient cloud beasts stored their cloud essence, to take revenge for their offspring, the ancient cloud beasts wanted to eliminate Fang Yuan, they would not let him go.</p>
<p>As long as Fang Yuan was still injured, the cloud beasts would pursue him.</p>
<p>The problem was, these ancient cloud beasts could also move freely within the five regional walls!</p>

<body>
<h1>Chapter 1045</h1>
<p>Normally speaking, it was difficult for desolate beasts of the five regions to pass the regional walls and move to another region.</p>
<p>These desolate beasts, ancient desolate beast and immemorial desolate beasts could match the respective levels of Gu Immortals, they involved the essence of their regions and as such, it was very difficult for them to leave the domain of the region they had been raised and grown in.</p>
<p>To them, the regional walls were like shackles.</p>
<p>Comparatively, ordinary wild beasts, beast kings or mutated beasts were much more free and could move through regional walls.</p>
<p>This group of ancient cloud beasts that were chasing Fang Yuan, however, were not raised by Southern Border, but originated from white heaven of the immemorial nine heavens.</p>
<p>The regional walls of the five regions had no relationship with them and did not restrict or reject them.</p>
<p>Perhaps it was because no matter which layer of the immemorial nine heavens it was, they all covered the whole five regions.</p>
<p>This characteristic was already widely known.</p>
<p>Previously, when Spectral Soul Demon Venerable went against heaven’s will to refine Gu, Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals were able to reach Southern Border so quickly because they had used Heaven Overseeing Tower to travel through white heaven.</p>
<p>Also, Fang Yuan’s stargate Gu could attract the starlight of black heaven to travel over the five regions.</p>
<p>Both, in essence, were similar to this group of ancient cloud beasts, they all used this special characteristic of the immemorial nine heavens.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was rapidly moving through the regional wall.</p>
<p>The group of ancient cloud beasts were chasing closely behind him, Fang Yuan could do nothing but let them follow.</p>
<p>These cloud beasts were stubbornly fixed upon Fang Yuan, not willing to rest until they reached their goal.</p>
<p>At this time, Fang Yuan couldn’t help but fondly recall the benefits of Fixed Immortal Travel.</p>
<p>If he had Fixed Immortal Travel, he could simply get away from these problems.</p>
<p>Even if Fang Yuan was injured, there was a limit to the range the ancient cloud beasts could chase him, he could use Fixed Immortal Travel to go beyond this limit.</p>
<p>However, Fang Yuan only had sword escape Immortal Gu as his movement Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>If he recklessly used sword escape Immortal Gu, it could increase the distance between them, but he would have to pay a huge price.</p>
<p>Most importantly, Fang Yuan was not fully aware of the range in which the ancient cloud beasts would continue to chase him. If this range was extremely great, even if Fang Yuan spent all his assets, it might not be enough for the expenditure of activating sword escape Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>“Lang Ya land spirit may be simple and unable to lie, but he has all along been planning against me.”</p>
<p>“Previously, he schemed against me when I was dealing with Qi Zai as well. I had to pay a considerable amount to borrow dark limit Immortal Gu.”</p>
<p>“If I impatiently try to get rid of these ancient cloud beasts, he might extort me again! After all, Luo Po valley, Dang Hun Mountain and wisdom Gu are truly tempting!”</p>
<p>The regional wall in front of him suddenly turned into a deep blue color.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had already passed Southern Border’s miasma regional wall and had now entered Eastern Sea’s blue water regional wall.</p>
<p>There was nothing to say, Fang Yuan concentrated on flying.</p>
<p>The journey was unimpeded.</p>
<p>The regional wall did not have creatures or any other obstructions.</p>
<p>Because the regional walls of the five regions in themselves were the greatest obstruction.</p>
<p>After flying for a while longer, Fang Yuan looked behind him, those ancient cloud beasts were still chasing him.</p>
<p>Cloud beasts did not have any fixed shape and continued to chase like rolling clouds, white and graceful as snow. But to Fang Yuan, they looked truly troublesome.</p>
<p>By now, Fang Yuan had already used all his contribution points from Lang Ya Sect and was starting to owe Lang Ya land spirit immortal essence stones.</p>
<p>“If not for these ancient cloud beasts, how could I go this far? Hmm? What’s going on?”</p>
<p>On the way, Fang Yuan’s expression suddenly changed, his gaze enlarging in wonder.</p>
<p>He surprisingly discovered that in this blue water regional wall, his aura was having a mysterious change.</p>
<p>His Southern Border Gu Immortal aura was continuously growing fainter, while the aura of an Eastern Sea Gu Immortal was strengthening constantly.</p>
<p>If Fang Yuan had activated familiar face, he would not have been so amazed.</p>
<p>The key point was that he had not activated this killer move.</p>
<p>“Could it be that this new body can not only pass the regional walls of the five regions, but can also change my aura into the aura of that region?”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan speculated inwardly.</p>
<p>The moment he flew out of blue water regional wall, his Southern Border Gu Immortal aura had completely dissipated and had truly turned into one of an Eastern Sea Gu Immortal.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan naturally was surprised and happy.</p>
<p>“This sovereign immortal fetus Gu is truly mysterious, I am not even using familiar face and my body can actually perfectly adapt to the new region, which means I won’t be pushed aside by the region’s Gu Immortals.”</p>
<p>“But right now, it is still better for me to use familiar face.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan gazed at the group of ancient cloud beasts following right behind him and sighed as he activated familiar face, turning into a different appearance.</p>
<p>He had originally wanted to quietly move through Eastern Sea and return to Northern Plains.</p>
<p>But now, with the group of ancient cloud beasts right behind him, he had naturally dispelled this idea.</p>
<p>Such a commotion was not what Fang Yuan wanted, but he could do nothing about it.</p>
<p>“But this place is not far away from the turbulent flow sea area. Maybe I can detour around and move towards the turbulent flow sea area, and use its environment to break away from these ancient cloud beasts?”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan suddenly had an idea.</p>
<p>His five hundred years of life experience as a wanderer had given him an understanding of the various environments of the five regions.</p>
<p>After pondering for a while, Fang Yuan chose to be cautious, giving up this idea.</p>
<p>The turbulent flow sea area was like a maze, if he was careless in entering it, he might lose his freedom and be trapped himself.</p>
<p>According to rumors, the turbulent flow sea area was a battlefield formed after a life and death battle between powerful Gu Immortal experts. It was a bloody battlefield where many Gu Immortal experts had fallen, leaving behind many inheritances.</p>
<p>Many Eastern Sea Gu Immortals as well as Gu Immortals of Central Continent, Northern Plains and Southern Border would come to the turbulent flow sea area to search for fortuitous encounters.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, in his previous five hundred years of life, Fang Yuan had never heard of anyone obtaining any huge fortuitous encounter. On the contrary, he often heard of certain Gu Immortals going missing in the turbulent flow sea area. Or that certain Gu Immortals would go missing for several months or several years before they were able to free themselves and appear again in the world.</p>
<p>The turbulent flow sea area was not dangerous, but its special environment often caused Gu Immortals to be trapped and not be able to free themselves.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan moved like an arrow, forming a straight line in the air.</p>
<p>He did not choose the direction of the turbulent flow sea area, instead he flew straight towards Northern Plains’ regional wall.</p>
<p>Sword escape Immortal Gu was activated, gradually getting distance from the ancient cloud beasts.</p>
<p>He had already inquired Lang Ya land spirit for information about ancient cloud beasts, but Lang Ya land spirit did not know much.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan then sent out dozens of wills in treasure yellow heaven to search for information on the limits of the tracking range of ancient cloud beasts, but he did not get any useful news.</p>
<p>With no other choice, Fang Yuan could only choose to try to see if he could break free of the pursuit of these ancient cloud beasts.</p>
<p>Making up his mind, Fang Yuan activated sword escape Immortal Gu unceasingly!</p>
<p>Finally, he was able to throw off the ancient cloud beasts beyond his vision.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan stopped sword escape Immortal Gu and used mortal killer moves to continue to fly.</p>
<p>His speed naturally slowed.</p>
<p>“I have paid such a price, it would be good if I have freed myself of them.” Fang Yuan was inwardly worried.</p>
<p>Not seeing the ancient cloud beasts did not mean he had already gotten away from them.</p>
<p>Existences that were comparable to rank seven Gu Immortals usually did not track using just sight. It depended on what the limit of their tracking range was.</p>
<p>Right as Fang Yuan was worriedly gazing back, a blood-red ray of light suddenly flew over from the southeast direction.</p>
<p>The blood-red light was soaring through the horizon, and when it sensed Fang Yuan’s presence, it immediately lowered its speed before rapidly approaching Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>“A rank six blood path Gu Immortal, and it looks like they went through a fierce battle!” Fang Yuan frowned when he sensed the approaching aura.</p>
<p>No matter what intention the other party had, Fang Yuan did not want to provoke any more trouble.</p>
<p>He already had enough trouble on his hands.</p>
<p>He still did not know if he had thrown off that group of ancient cloud beasts behind him, and there was also the earthly calamity which was going to approach in two months.</p>
<p>Therefore, he immediately changed his direction and flew away from the approaching blood-red light.</p>
<p>The Gu Immortal in the blood-red light sensed Fang Yuan’s intent, quickly shouting: “Wait! I have found a peerless fortuitous encounter in the turbulent flow sea area, as long as you can help me resolve this crisis, I am willing to use blood oath Immortal Gu to form a pact and share this peerless fortuitous encounter with you!”</p>
<p>“Turbulent flow sea area? Peerless fortuitous encounter? There really are people who have obtained benefits?” Fang Yuan was truly surprised.</p>
<p>Right at this time, several Gu Immortals appeared in the horizon, chasing after the blood-red light with surging momentum and emitting powerful auras.</p>
<p>They seemed to have heard what the blood path Gu Immortal had shouted to Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Curses after curses began to rain down —</p>
<p>“A blood path demon causing harm to the world, everyone must execute them!”</p>
<p>“Anyone who associates with the demon shall be killed without mercy!”</p>
<p>“Block this demon and my Tang clan will definitely reward you.”</p>
<p>“No need. I, Liu Qing Yu, have struck this demon with my immortal killer move, he definitely won’t be able to escape. You there ahead, if you know what’s good for you, get lost!”</p>
<p>In an instant, Fang Yuan was subjected to the persuasion, warnings and even curses of these Eastern Sea Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan snorted.</p>
<p>He was not someone afraid of getting into trouble, but right now, what he had to do was hurry to Lang Ya blessed land and deal with his immortal aperture’s earthly calamity.</p>
<p>He changed his direction, moving away directly from the blood path Gu Immortal.</p>
<p>The blood path Gu Immortal felt very anxious, he had already reached his own limits, Fang Yuan was his only hope to survive.</p>
<p>When Fang Yuan retreated, he also changed his direction, flying rapidly towards Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>“If you can help me, I am willing to hand this fortuitous encounter to you completely!” He cried out.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan sneered, retreating without hesitation.</p>
<p>Seeing this, one of the Eastern Sea Gu Immortals laughed loudly: “That’s right! Smart guy, you know how to judge the situation, get lost quickly!”</p>
<p>Someone else also called out: “We might as well help one another, lend a hand and we will definitely reward you after this.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s brows slowly started to furrow.</p>
<p>He only wanted to quietly return to Lang Ya blessed land, why were there troublesome matters occurring one after the other. He himself did not want to engage in these troublesome matters, but they instead were taking the initiative to follow him.</p>
<p>“This is the crucial information regarding the inheritance, if you obtain it, your cultivation will definitely advance rapidly and you’d become a superior existence among immortals!” The blood path Gu Immortal threw an information path Gu worm towards Fang Yuan, attempting to lure him.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan screamed: “Screw off!”</p>
<p>With a wave of his hand, a powerful burst of wind destroyed the Gu worm.</p>
<p>At the same time, he rapidly charged towards the sky.</p>
<p>The blood path demonic cultivator was not able to plot against Fang Yuan and seeing this hopeless situation, he suddenly shot a streak of strange light towards Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>“I have already handed the crucial part of the inheritance to this person. If you guys want to get the fortuitous encounter, killing me will be of no use!” The blood path demonic cultivator yelled loudly before flying away in the opposite direction.</p>
<p>The streak of strange light was extremely fast and soon neared Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan snorted, he very much was unwilling to provoke trouble, he shouted in a stern voice: “I have important matters to deal with, do not provoke me!”</p>
<p>Saying this, he simultaneous activated Sword Escape and Flying Sword, these two rank seven Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>Sword Escape increased his speed while flying sword Immortal Gu shattered the strange light.</p>
<p>“Ah, two rank seven Immortal Gu!”</p>
<p>“Who is this person?!”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s power had suddenly erupted, the group of immortals were astonished, their expressions changed in an instant.</p>

<h1>Chapter 1046</h1>
<p>Fang Yuan’s aura was only at rank six, before he took action, there did not seem to be anything special about him.</p>
<p>Furthermore, after retreating repeatedly, the Eastern Sea Gu Immortals involuntarily started to look down on him.</p>
<p>But once he took action, everyone was shaken.</p>
<p>The Eastern Sea Gu Immortals froze in their tracks, they reassessed Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>They saw Fang Yuan wearing white clothing with his long hair fluttering in the wind. Graceful and handsome, he had quite a disposition. Right now, Fang Yuan had an angry expression, like the brewing of a thunderstorm, his killing intent was like a blizzard, giving people a suppressive feeling.</p>
<p>There were numerous Eastern Sea Gu Immortals, but they all became silent.</p>
<p>They turned around and targeted the blood path demonic immortal instead.</p>
<p>This blood path demonic immortal wanted to escape, but his injuries caused his speed to fall, after some time, he was killed by the group of Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>Based on this, he was indeed at his wits’ end, no wonder he threw away the fortuitous encounter and tried to survive by using Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>After killing the blood path demonic immortal, one of the Eastern Sea Gu Immortals, a rank seven that had taken the lead, Liu Qing Yu, spoke heavily: “The imprint is not on him.”</p>
<p>Another rank seven Gu Immortal reacted, saying loudly to Fang Yuan: “Please wait!”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had two rank seven Immortal Gu, the immortals’ impressions of him had changed, they no longer acted so rudely towards him like before.</p>
<p>They looked at each other, before flying towards Fang Yuan imposingly.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan floated in the air, sneering without speaking.</p>
<p>“Friend…” The rank seven Gu Immortal stopped, partway through, he could not continue his words.</p>
<p>The imprint to open up the inheritance was extremely important, but it was missing now.</p>
<p>The biggest suspect was Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>But there was no way Fang Yuan would let them search his body. Looking at his immortal aperture was even more impossible, it was a huge taboo.</p>
<p>If Fang Yuan was an ordinary rank six Gu Immortal, with so many people on their side, it was okay to request it.</p>
<p>But Fang Yuan had two rank seven Immortal Gu, and this was only what he showed on the surface.</p>
<p>“Zhou Li, what are you afraid of?” The third rank seven Gu Immortal waved his long sleeves as he stepping forward.</p>
<p>He had a cold expression, his gaze was sharp, he stared at Fang Yuan, saying: “I am a Gu Immortal of Eastern Sea’s Tang clan, Tang Song, this matter is difficult to resolve peacefully today. But I have a way, as long as you follow it, you can prove your innocence.”</p>
<p>“Hahaha!” Fang Yuan laughed loudly: “Prove my innocence? Why do I need to prove my innocence?”</p>
<p>As he laughed, his battle intent surged.</p>
<p>“It seems that all of you think I am afraid of battle.” Fang Yuan said in an ominous tone.</p>
<p>The expressions of the Eastern Sea Gu Immortals changed.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan squinted: “It is laughable, you are being deceived but you remain ignorant. Liu Qing Yu, you killed that blood path demonic immortal, you have already obtained the inheritance imprint, but you are trying to frame me now, you are really scheming.”</p>
<p>“This…” The immortals froze again.</p>
<p>Many people turned to look at the rank seven Gu Immortal Liu Qing Yu.</p>
<p>Liu Qing Yu looked at Fang Yuan with an angry expression, but he was thinking: “Impressive! This person has a sharp tongue, he is rank six but has two rank seven Immortal Gu, who in the world is he? Since when did Eastern Sea have such a person? I actually don’t know who they are!”</p>
<p>At the same time, he called out: “Everyone, don’t forget about our agreement, what kind of person am I? Why would I possibly deceive you?”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan chuckled: “What agreement? I know that regardless of the information path alliance agreement, it can be broken using information path methods. As for what kind of person you are? I only know that in the face of huge profits, people change and cannot be trusted.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s words were logical, the Eastern Sea Gu Immortals hesitated even more.</p>
<p>Liu Qing Yu flew into a rage, pointing at Fang Yuan: “I saw him throw the inheritance imprint to you!”</p>
<p>“The others also saw that I slashed it.” Fang Yuan rapidly replied.</p>
<p>“Hehehe.” Liu Qing Yu laughed sinisterly: “There are many ways in the world to create illusions, who knows what methods you used to keep the imprint secretly.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan raised his head and sighed, saying in a dour tone: “I have a mission from first supreme elder, I did not want to create trouble. But if it is like this, let’s fight.”</p>
<p>Hearing the words first supreme elder, many of the Gu Immortals’ pupils shrunk, they thought: So this person is not a lone cultivator, he has a super force behind him. No wonder he has two rank seven Immortal Gu!</p>
<p>At once, their wariness rose again.</p>
<p>Especially the lone cultivators, they operated independently and did not have a force to defend them, they did not want to offend a huge force.</p>
<p>“Hold it.” At this moment, Tang Song stood out: “I can guarantee on my Tang clan’s reputation, as long as you cooperate with our investigation, if the imprint is not with you, we will let you go.”</p>
<p>Tang clan was a super force in Eastern Sea, it was equivalent to Central Continent’s ten great ancient sects.</p>
<p>“Tang clan?” Fang Yuan laughed coldly, his eyebrows raised as the silvery flying sword Immortal Gu flew around him: “That’s very amazing huh? Do you think my clan will be afraid of your Tang clan? Hehe, in that case, let’s see what your Tang clan can do!”</p>
<p>Before he finished speaking, Fang Yuan used flying sword Immortal Gu, attacking the rank seven Gu Immortal Tang Song.</p>
<p>“You!” Tang Song did not expect Fang Yuan to strike so suddenly, he was caught off guard, quickly getting into a disadvantage under Fang Yuan’s attacks.</p>
<p>The other Eastern Sea Gu Immortals decided to look on from the side.</p>
<p>“This person is not afraid of Tang clan, he has a huge background.”</p>
<p>“Tang clan might be an overlord in Eastern Sea, but it also has enemies like Shen clan and Su clan. Is this person from one of those two clans?”</p>
<p>“Since he is attacking Tang Song, that is a good thing. We can stay on the sidelines and watch their methods. If there is a future battle, we will be able to prepare.”</p>
<p>These Eastern Sea Gu Immortals were not united, earlier, they only worked together to capture the blood path demonic immortal.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s words and actions caused doubts among them, resulting in division among these immortals.</p>
<p>He picked his opponent with specific reasons.</p>
<p>If he chose a rank six Gu Immortal, others would think he was depending on two rank seven Immortal Gu to bully a weaker opponent. Only by choosing a rank seven Gu Immortal could there be deterrence.</p>
<p>As for why he chose Tang Song, it was because Fang Yuan observed that he was the only rank seven Gu Immortal with a super force behind him.</p>
<p>Lone cultivator Gu Immortals did not want to offend super forces, and because super forces had many assets to protect and matters to take care of, they were wary of lone immortals.</p>
<p>Thus, as someone in an organization, Tang Song spoke and acted with many concerns. After all, he was representing not just himself but his Tang clan as well.</p>
<p>Both sides fought for a long time.</p>
<p>After more than ten rounds, Tang Song was still at a disadvantage, he was breaking out in cold sweat.</p>
<p>Flying sword Immortal Gu was very sharp, while Tang Song was a sound path Gu Immortal with insufficient defensive methods, he could not block flying sword Immortal Gu, he could only evade it.</p>
<p>He was furious and startled.</p>
<p>A grand rank seven Gu Immortal was being forced to this extent by a rank six, his face was completely gone.</p>
<p>Tang Song had a grim expression as he thought: “To salvage my face, I have to use that immortal killer move to capture this rank six Gu Immortal alive. In that case, my display of weakness earlier can be thought of as a battle tactic.”</p>
<p>But this immortal killer move was not easy to activate, it comprised four hundred and ninety Gu worms.</p>
<p>Tang Song had to deal with Fang Yuan’s attacks while concentrating on the Gu worms in his immortal aperture, and slowly forming his killer move.</p>
<p>“This flying sword Immortal Gu might be useless against mud monsters and cloud beasts, but it is really useful against Gu Immortals, once it pierces the head or heart, they would die. Back then, Bo Qing dominated Central Continent and was known as the strongest person under rank nine, this indicates some of the power of flying sword Immortal Gu.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan sighed internally.</p>
<p>Even though he had the advantage, he had not become careless.</p>
<p>Tang Song was a rank seven Gu Immortal, he had a deeper foundation than Fang Yuan. But because Fang Yuan attacked first, he lost the initiative.</p>
<p>But currently it was a dangerous situation, the longer it dragged on, the harder it was for Fang Yuan to escape.</p>
<p>Most importantly, he could not use dark assassination.</p>
<p>Because he had to maintain the pressure on Tang Song, Fang Yuan attacked first and pressured him. If he had any time to regain the initiative and use his methods freely, the situation would be different.</p>
<p>Thus, Fang Yuan had to use flying sword Immortal Gu continuously. Flying sword Immortal Gu was the core of dark assassination, it had to be used together with dark limit Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>After some time, by combining it with other supplementary mortal Gu, dark assassination could be unleashed.</p>
<p>“I have few Immortal Gu now, if I had some more…” At this time, Fang Yuan sensed something, his movements stopped as he looked behind him.</p>
<p>The group of ancient cloud beasts was already within sight.</p>
<p>Seeing the group of ancient cloud beasts, Fang Yuan did not feel irritation, he felt joy.</p>
<p>The opportunity he was waiting for had arrived!</p>
<p>“What is going on? What are these things, they have such strong auras.”</p>
<p>“Cloud beasts, oh heavens, so many cloud beasts!”</p>
<p>“These are ancient cloud beasts, why are there so many of them?!”</p>
<p>The Eastern Sea Gu Immortals noticed the ancient cloud beasts, they were puzzled and shocked.</p>
<p>Tang Song’s focus was on Fang Yuan, seeing that Fang Yuan had relaxed, he was overjoyed, he immediately sped up in completing the immortal killer move he was preparing, it was already one-third done in this short time.</p>
<p>“Soon! Once I use this move to capture you alive, I’ll deal with you personally.” Tang Song gritted his teeth.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan shouted: “Hmph! I lured these ancient cloud beasts out from white heaven. It was to cooperate with the other supreme elders to lure these ancient cloud beasts into a trap and capture them. You people obstructed us, we will deal with you one by one later. If you want to die now, follow me!”</p>
<p>Saying so, Fang Yuan left Tang Song, flying in the sky.</p>
<p>The immortals were shocked but relieved.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s injuries were caused by the ancient cloud beasts.</p>
<p>And the ancient cloud beasts were chasing him.</p>
<p>These were all evidence for his words.</p>
<p>After all, ordinary cloud beasts were very rare, this group of ancient cloud beasts most likely came from white heaven.</p>

<h1>Chapter 1047</h1>
<p>Chase, or not?</p>
<p>The Eastern Sea immortals looked at each other.</p>
<p>The first to react was rank seven Gu Immortal Tang Song.</p>
<p>“Don’t think of leaving!” He moved like lightning, chasing after Fang Yuan as he shouted.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan snorted: “Don’t go overboard! Don’t think I am afraid of you, if not for my important mission, I would kill you here.”</p>
<p>Tang Song surged with anger: “Bullshit!”</p>
<p>His immortal killer move was almost ready to be used, he was about to salvage his face, but at this moment, Fang Yuan ran away.</p>
<p>He actually ran!</p>
<p>Tang Song was unwilling to let him go, he chased relentlessly.</p>
<p>His actions caused the stunned Eastern Sea Gu Immortals to pursue him as well.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s heart sank, but he shouted: “Those who are not afraid to die can come, hahaha.”</p>
<p>Tang Song yelled after him: “Those who are afraid to die are cowards! Chase him, the inheritance imprint is with him, we cannot let him join up with the other Gu Immortals. Only by capturing this person can we obtain the inheritance of the great expert.”</p>
<p>With such great profits in sight, the Eastern Sea Gu Immortals chased with even faster speed after hearing that.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan muttered ‘not too stupid’, before pointing his finger, as flying sword Immortal Gu flew out and shot at Tang Song.</p>
<p>Tang Song was shocked, he tried to dodge. But because he was distracted, his immortal killer move was interrupted and he had to start all over again to use it.</p>
<p>Tang Song almost stomped his feet in anger.</p>
<p>The rank seven Gu Immortal Liu Qing Yu passed him and chased after Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan took a look and tried to sow discord: “Liu Qing Yu, the inheritance imprint is in your hands, but you are chasing after me. Such incredible acting!”</p>
<p>Liu Qing Yu was furious: “Don’t run if you have guts!”</p>
<p>“Against you people, why would I need to run, it would be ruining our clan’s face!” Fang Yuan shouted: “Continue chasing me if you have the guts, we’ll see who is the most unlucky one in the end! Hahaha.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan appeared fearless, he was so arrogant even though he was being pursued by so many Eastern Sea Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>In contrast, the Eastern Sea Gu Immortals became increasingly hesitant.</p>
<p>There was a key point, who had the crucial inheritance imprint? What Fang Yuan said earlier was highly possible.</p>
<p>And in addition, it seemed that Fang Yuan had reinforcements. And to hunt such a huge group of ancient cloud beasts, they must have set up an immortal level battlefield killer move, or even mobilized their Immortal Gu House, this was quite possible!</p>
<p>“If we enter an immortal battlefield killer move, it would be troublesome…”</p>
<p>Tang Song was a member of Tang clan, a super force, he might not be afraid, but these Eastern Sea Gu Immortals were lone immortals.</p>
<p>These lone immortals were not doing too well, otherwise, they would not have gone into the turbulent flow sea area to find some kind of opportunity.</p>
<p>After all, time was very precious for Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>First, a Gu Immortal fell to the back of the group before gradually separating from the pursuing group.</p>
<p>Next, more and more Gu Immortals imitated their actions.</p>
<p>Gu Immortals were not stupid, they were astute figures.</p>
<p>The Gu Immortals who fell behind were not willing to let Fang Yuan go, but they were afraid of falling into a battlefield killer move, and being unable to leave. Thus, they all decided to let others take the lead and scout the route.</p>
<p>“These guys… they’re useless!” Liu Qing Yu who was the closest to Fang Yuan noticed this and mentally cursed, but his actions also became hesitant.</p>
<p>He was a lone cultivator and had obtained an opportunity in the past to become immortal, even though he had Immortal Gu, they were rank six. Against the immortal battlefield killer move of a super force, he might not be able to escape.</p>
<p>Even Tang Song was hesitant, he reserved some of his attention and energy to deal with any reinforcements of the enemy.</p>
<p>Thus, a strange chase was created.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan flew in front, yelling and cursing angrily, he was in a weaker position but he had an arrogant attitude.</p>
<p>Behind him were a bunch of Eastern Sea Gu Immortals, even though they had the advantage in numbers, they were restrained, they displayed a weaker attitude.</p>
<p>Most of the time, Fang Yuan was using mortal killer moves to fly, the Eastern Sea Gu Immortals behind him were also using mortal killer moves to follow him.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s thoughts were far less confident than his actions: “So troublesome! Looking at this situation, I can only escape to the regional wall and use the advantage in that environment to break free from these pursuers.”</p>
<p>“Liu Qing Yu…” Fang Yuan took note of this name.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had not received any inheritance imprint, he might have destroyed it, but it was also very possible that was only a deceptive move by the blood path demonic immortal, the true inheritance imprint could already be in Liu Qing Yu’s hands.</p>
<p>If that was the case, Liu Qing Yu’s acting skills were almost on par with Fang Yuan’s, he was a deeply shrewd opponent.</p>
<p>In the sky high up in the clouds.</p>
<p>Whoosh whoosh whoosh!</p>
<p>With Fang Yuan at the lead, a group of Eastern Sea Gu Immortals flew in the sky while moving like flashes of lightning, there was a huge commotion.</p>
<p>Tang Song had secretly been preparing his immortal killer move, it could already be used.</p>
<p>He held in his excitement as he accelerated, surpassing Liu Qing Yu and getting closer to Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>This sudden action made Fang Yuan extremely alert.</p>
<p>He immediately used sword escape Immortal Gu and raised his speed, flying away.</p>
<p>“Damn it!” Tang Song mentally cursed, his rank seven immortal killer move had greater effect when the distance was short. With his current distance from Fang Yuan, there was no chance to succeed in capturing him.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan activated sword escape Immortal Gu and raised his speed, the Gu Immortals behind were internally grumbling.</p>
<p>The three rank seven Gu Immortals were still fine, they could use rank six Immortal Gu or immortal killer moves to maintain the distance.</p>
<p>But those ordinary rank six Gu Immortals who were at the bottom of the Gu Immortal world did not even have any rank six Immortal Gu, they were quickly left behind.</p>
<p>Seeing that Fang Yuan was flying away, rank seven Gu Immortal Zhou Li was anxious: “I have a way, I can bring both of you along with me at great speed. But I need to focus and cannot be distracted, I hope you can restrain him.”</p>
<p>Liu Qing Yu and Tang Song looked at each other, rapidly agreeing.</p>
<p>Tang Song was the first to agree.</p>
<p>These people had an agreement already, they had a basis to trust each other.</p>
<p>Zhou Li roared as countless phantom waves appeared around his body, these phantom waves moved his body as his speed rose.</p>
<p>An immortal killer move!</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s gaze focused, but Liu Qing Yu and Tang Song cheered, they stepped on the phantom waves and allowed the waves to move them forward.</p>
<p>The two thus had free time to start attacking.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s situation became bad.</p>
<p>Earlier, in the process of chasing, the Gu Immortals behind attacked. But because Fang Yuan was always using Immortal Gu to disrupt them and also dodged them, he was agile and hard to hit, the Gu Immortals behind him could not succeed.</p>
<p>But now, two Gu Immortals had the free time to focus on attacking, they could use more precise methods and possessed bigger threat.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s pressure intensified, after a while, he was injured.</p>
<p>“Well done, this person has only so much capability, he only has two rank seven Immortal Gu. His other methods are all mortal killer moves.” Zhou Li said.</p>
<p>“He was injured to begin with, he was likely hurt by those ancient cloud beasts.” Liu Qing Yu said darkly.</p>
<p>“Even though he has rank seven Immortal Gu, he is only a rank six Gu Immortal, how much green grape immortal essence can he expend?” Tang Song said, smiling in the process.</p>
<p>As long as this progressed, they were sure to win.</p>
<p>Their only concern was the mysterious force behind Fang Yuan and a possible ambush.</p>
<p>Thus, they were holding back, and did not deal any fatal blows.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s situation was quite dangerous.</p>
<p>If this continued to progress, he might die here.</p>
<p>Gu Immortals were intelligent and could form complex ideas, they were much harder to deal with compared to the simpleminded ancient cloud beasts.</p>
<p>If they really fought head on, these Eastern Sea Gu Immortals were not the match of the ancient cloud beasts. But their threat towards Fang Yuan was much higher than the ancient cloud beasts.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had never banked on the two forces fighting each other.</p>
<p>Gu Immortals were not stupid, they had to consider the costs and benefits before killing even a cloud beast, not to mention this group of ancient cloud beasts.</p>
<p>“This means, I can only rely on the five regional walls. Even if something gets exposed, I have no choice.” Fang Yuan slightly changed his direction and flew towards the closest regional wall.</p>
<p>The Eastern Sea Gu Immortals behind him chased.</p>
<p>Along with that group of ancient cloud beasts.</p>
<p>Soon, the regional wall appeared in Fang Yuan’s sight.</p>
<p>The regional wall was like a fence surrounding Eastern Sea, Fang Yuan had come out of the regional wall earlier, he was originally very close to it. It was just that he was flying straight ahead as he wanted to save time traveling.</p>
<p>If he flew by following the edges of the regional wall, he would have to take a long detour.</p>
<p>But who would have expected such trouble to appear from nowhere?</p>
<p>“Oh no, he is going to enter the regional wall!” Liu Qing Yu realized Fang Yuan’s intention and shouted.</p>
<p>“Good plan. We are rank seven Gu Immortals, after we enter the regional wall, we will face greater restrictions than him.” Zhou Li said.</p>
<p>“Quickly attack, don’t let him succeed.” Tang Song was anxious.</p>
<p>The two immortals’ attacks changed.</p>
<p>They attacked fiercely, Fang Yuan could not block them all, his injuries were getting more severe, some of his bones could be seen through the deep wounds.</p>
<p>“Hehehe.” He laughed instead: “You dare to attack, very good, Tang clan! If I die and the clan’s plans are ruined, we will not let you off.”</p>
<p>Tang Song’s heart shook: “You keep claiming to be part of a clan, it is just a hoax! I know Eastern Sea’s righteous forces deeply, why have I never heard of you?”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan laughed again, his tone filled with hatred: “Tang Song, why bother probing? I will not fall for it. This matter has to be kept a secret, I was sent out because we were afraid of external interference. Even if you kill me, I will not tell you my background. I will even self-detonate my soul, you will not be able to soul search me.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s words made their hearts sink.</p>
<p>Which enemies were the scariest?</p>
<p>Everyone had different answers to this question. But a large number of people would agree: An unknown enemy was the scariest.</p>
<p>The enemy is hidden while you are exposed, you do not know where they are, or what they are planning against you.</p>
<p>This was the worry of the three rank seven Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>From start to finish, they did not think that Fang Yuan was lying.</p>
<p>After all, ancient cloud beasts were too rare, why would a group of them chase after him like this? There had to be a cause.</p>
<p>Since there was a cause, the perpetrator had to have enough confidence in their strength to take down this group of ancient cloud beasts.</p>
<p>And in Eastern Sea, what kind of force would be able to take down this group of ancient cloud beasts?</p>
<p>Evidently, only super forces like Song clan!</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s words made the three rank seven Gu Immortals’ attacks slow, and he obtained some precious time to recover.</p>
<p>The regional wall was right in front of him, Fang Yuan could almost escape, but at this time, Zhou Li attacked!</p>

<h1>Chapter 1048</h1>
<p>The phantom waves around Zhou Li that were carrying Tang Song and Liu Qing Yu rushed forward, engulfing Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan felt a strong sense of pressure.</p>
<p>The waves were only phantom images, but he felt like he was facing a colossal tsunami, he was helpless like an ant, about to be devoured by this tide!</p>
<p>“An amazing immortal killer move!”</p>
<p>“Rank seven Gu Immortals are truly hard to deal with.”</p>
<p>In the moment of danger, these two thoughts flashed across Fang Yuan’s mind.</p>
<p>Without the waves carrying them, the three immortals stopped moving.</p>
<p>“The matter is settled.” Zhou Li smiled as confidence radiated in his eyes.</p>
<p>Tang Song and Liu Qing Yu looked at each other, they had guessed Zhou Li’s scheme, they involuntarily looked at him in a different light, raising their opinion of him.</p>
<p>As it turned out, Zhou Li had secretly collected information on Fang Yuan and learned about his abilities, he knew what methods were suitable to deal with Fang Yuan’s capabilities.</p>
<p>On the surface, he was helping them to fly, but in fact, he was using them to obstruct Fang Yuan while he gathered strength in the phantom waves below him. As they chased, the phantom waves got bigger and bigger, gradually creating a huge force.</p>
<p>And now, Zhou Li attacked.</p>
<p>He had not taken overt action previously, but once he did, it was a huge tsunami that swallowed everything. It was faster than even sword escape Immortal Gu, it could not be stopped!</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had the rank seven flying sword Immortal Gu, but against the phantom waves, it was ineffective, like dealing with cloud beasts and mud monsters.</p>
<p>He still had sword escape Immortal Gu, but the phantom waves were already surrounding Fang Yuan tightly. Fang Yuan’s room to maneuver became smaller, and sword escape Immortal Gu could not escape from the range of the phantom waves in time.</p>
<p>“To think that this Zhou Li appeared weak and timid on the surface, but he actually had such plans. I raised my voice at him earlier but he did not retaliate, to think that he is even more shrewd than me!” Liu Qing Yu felt deep wariness towards Zhou Li.</p>
<p>Tang Song had an ugly expression, he had prepared his immortal killer move painstakingly, wanting to save his face, but he did not get a chance to do so, in the end, Zhou Li was the one who benefited.</p>
<p>Not mentioning rank six Gu Immortals, among those who could become rank seven Gu Immortals, who would be a simpleton?</p>
<p>Once Zhou Li attacked, Fang Yuan was like a trapped beast.</p>
<p>“Our victory is assured!”</p>
<p>The three rank seven Gu Immortals had similar thoughts.</p>
<p>But Fang Yuan laughed coldly: “Hahaha, friends, why are you so foolish? You came to sacrifice your lives. In my opinion, the rank six Gu Immortals are far smarter than you.”</p>
<p>The three immortals looked and saw that Fang Yuan did not evade, his hands were behind his back as he floated in the air, calm and composed.</p>
<p>The three immortals’ bodies shook, they cried out in their minds: “Oh no! He is fearless, is this the place where they are ambushing us?”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan said again: “What’s the name of this move? It can actually accumulate and grow in power over time, but… can it break through my clan’s immortal battlefield killer move? Hehehe, I think not.”</p>
<p>These phantom waves had incredible power and could take his life, but Fang Yuan was unmoved, as if this was not a fatal killer move, but a gentle breeze instead.</p>
<p>He even dispelled the defensive killer move on his body, lion fur armor, in front of the three immortals.</p>
<p>“Oh no! This move uses almost all my Immortal Gu, it has strong attack but weak defense, if the other party attacks…” Zhou Li’s pupils shrunk, there was no time to think further, he subconsciously withdrew the phantom waves to defend himself.</p>
<p>The phantom waves had already accumulated greatly and were a fatal attack, but with Zhou Li withdrawing most of the waves, only a small portion was left to deal with Fang Yuan, a gap formed as Fang Yuan made use of it.</p>
<p>“Farewell, friends!” Fang Yuan activated sword escape Immortal Gu, flying in the sky like a burst of lightning, entering the blue water regional wall.</p>
<p>The three immortals were stunned before feeling intense rage.</p>
<p>“This kid is so crafty, he was putting up a front!”</p>
<p>“He was at his wits’ end, but he acted in such a convincing manner. Let’s chase him!”</p>
<p>Tang Song and Liu Qing Yu were furious, they charged towards Fang Yuan again.</p>
<p>Zhou Li’s expression turned pale, after staring blankly momentarily, he slapped himself before pursuing Fang Yuan again.</p>
<p>It was such a good situation earlier, but he messed it up, how could there still be another chance?</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had survived narrowly, after entering the regional wall, he went deep into it.</p>
<p>The three immortals were greatly troubled.</p>
<p>Their higher cultivation level was a burden here.</p>
<p>At this moment, the three immortals wished that they were just rank six Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>The deeper they got into the regional wall, the greater the repulsive force, and the slower their speed became.</p>
<p>Left without a choice, the three immortals could only entrust their hope in the rank six Gu Immortals who were still behind.</p>
<p>But these rank six Gu Immortals also faced a lot of obstruction, they were very different from Fang Yuan who felt zero resistance inside.</p>
<p>Soon, the Gu Immortals were left in the dust by Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>“What cultivation level does this person have? He faces such little resistance inside the regional wall?” The Eastern Sea Gu Immortals were gloomy.</p>
<p>But they did not know that Fang Yuan was purposely holding back.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan did not want this secret to be exposed, thus, he lowered his speed and pretended to be having difficulties traveling, only causing them to be suspicious.</p>
<p>They could not catch up to Fang Yuan, but the Eastern Sea Gu Immortals were unwilling to give up.</p>
<p>“I don’t believe that he can hide here and not come out!”</p>
<p>“He is a rank six Gu Immortal, flying here consumes a lot of immortal essence. I want to see if a rank six Gu Immortal’s foundation can match my own rank seven?”</p>
<p>Even though the Eastern Sea Gu Immortals were unwilling to see this, reality was cruel.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan left them farther and farther behind, even the ancient cloud beasts were catching up.</p>
<p>After some more chaos, the Eastern Sea Gu Immortals felt bitter, seeing the ancient cloud beasts surpass them in chasing Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>These ancient cloud beasts came from white heaven, they were unaffected by the five regional walls.</p>
<p>Eventually, Fang Yuan left the investigative range of the Eastern Sea Gu Immortals, they could only chase the ancient cloud beasts.</p>
<p>The ancient cloud beasts got closer and closer to Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Seeing that the time was ripe, Fang Yuan activated sword escape Immortal Gu and raised his speed, flying away.</p>
<p>The Eastern Sea Gu Immortals chased until some people could no longer take it, they chose to give up, leaving the regional wall.</p>
<p>“So unlucky! I actually encountered such a person!”</p>
<p>“We know nothing about this person’s identity, it is unknown whether he really has a super force behind him or not.”</p>
<p>Tang Song and Zhou Li conversed, feeling that hope was slim.</p>
<p>Only Liu Qing Yu was not talking, continuing his chase.</p>
<p>“Brother Liu, stop chasing.”</p>
<p>“He is already gone, this matter has so many issues, we should first leave and discuss it.”</p>
<p>Tang Song and Zhou Li urged.</p>
<p>Liu Qing Yu said: “I have my methods for investigating. I will not rest until I catch him! Hold on, I will try again, I’ll be back shortly.”</p>
<p>Saying so, he turned into a green rainbow as his speed rose, charging towards the ancient cloud beasts.</p>
<p>Tang Song looked at the light as he said in a strange tone: “It seems that brother Liu is anxious, he even used this move. This move uses a lot of his dao marks to activate, it has a high price, it is a trump card, he rarely uses it. In the past, he used it to escape from many strong foes.”</p>
<p>“What did you say?” Zhou Li’s expression changed.</p>
<p>Tang Song was staring blankly, his expression soon turned grim.</p>
<p>The two immortals looked at each other, sensing the rage in their eyes.</p>
<p>It was very possible that this Liu Qing Yu was not chasing after Fang Yuan, but that he had secretly obtained the inheritance imprint and was trying to escape from them!</p>
<p>After all, Fang Yuan destroyed the inheritance imprint that the blood path demonic immortal threw out, everyone saw that.</p>
<p>And the person who killed the blood path demonic immortal was Liu Qing Yu.</p>
<p>“Brother Liu, hold on.”</p>
<p>“This thief is crafty, he might have help arriving, we will lend you a hand, brother Liu!”</p>
<p>Tang Song and Zhou Li quickly chased.</p>
<p>Liu Qing Yu heard these words and moved even faster, he did not even turn back, it was like he had heard nothing.</p>
<p>Tang Song and Zhou Li affirmed their guesses, their expressions turned grim as they swore that they would not let Liu Qing Yu go.</p>
<p>Half a month later.</p>
<p>A figure penetrated the green licorice regional wall and entered Northern Plains.</p>
<p>“I am finally in Northern Plains.” It was Fang Yuan, he was filled with fatigue, injuries covered his body.</p>
<p>He had already healed the wounds that could be treated.</p>
<p>But most of his injuries were caused by the ancient cloud beasts, Immortal Gu, and even immortal killer moves. These injuries had dao marks in them, he had to use healing Immortal Gu to get rid of them.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan only had three Immortal Gu, he could only stall his treatment.</p>
<p>“Over on Lang Ya land spirit’s end, there should be healing Immortal Gu, once I return, I would get to rest.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan spurred himself on.</p>
<p>Earlier, he had fought with the Eastern Sea Gu Immortals, and these last days, in order to escape from the ancient cloud beasts, he had used sword escape Immortal Gu again. He already owed Lang Ya land spirit a huge debt.</p>
<p>Most importantly, because the Eastern Sea Gu Immortals were pursuing him, Fang Yuan had to travel in the regional wall.</p>
<p>Thus, he took a long detour and consumed a lot of immortal essence.</p>
<p>But these were not important.</p>
<p>The important thing was the immortal aperture’s calamities and tribulations!</p>
<p>Time was running shorter, Fang Yuan’s bad feeling was getting deeper.</p>
<p>Turning around and looking back, the ancient cloud beasts’ figures were already vaguely showing in the regional wall. Fang Yuan sighed as he used sword escape Immortal Gu, flying towards the north-east direction.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan did not know the exact location of Lang Ya blessed land.</p>
<p>Earlier, Lang Ya blessed land was near Crescent Lake, but because of Shadow Sect’s attack, Lang Ya blessed land had relocated.</p>
<p>After contacting Lang Ya land spirit, he did not tell Fang Yuan the exact location of Lang Ya blessed land, he only gave a direction, a Gu Immortal would come and pick him up.</p>
<p>Three days later, Fang Yuan reached the meet up location, but no one was there.</p>
<p>The ancient cloud beasts continued to chase him and he could only run away.</p>
<p>After contacting Lang Ya land spirit, he realized that Lang Ya land spirit had dispatched a hairy man Gu Immortal, but he encountered human Gu Immortals along the way and was killed.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit could only send another person to go, but an unexpected mishap happened again.</p>
<p>This hairy man Gu Immortal vanished mysteriously, he could not be contacted.</p>
<p>To bring back Fang Yuan, Lang Ya Sect had lost two hairy man Gu Immortals, and they did not even manage to bring Fang Yuan back to the blessed land.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit could not bear such a loss, he told Fang Yuan the location directly.</p>
<p>Seven days later, Fang Yuan arrived at Feng Bo cliff.</p>
<p>At Feng Bo cliff, he saw the arrangements of Lang Ya land spirit.</p>
<p>This was an immortal level Gu formation, its use was similar to the green crystal hero’s path Zombie Alliance had. Fang Yuan used it to free himself from the ancient cloud beasts, returning to Lang Ya blessed land.</p>
<p>After so many troublesome circumstances, he was finally safe!</p>

<h1>Chapter 1049</h1>
<p>Lang Ya blessed land, Black Hair Continent.</p>
<p>Steel Thread City was the grandest city in Black Hair Continent.</p>
<p>Just within the city, there were hundreds of thousands of hairy men. Not to mention the periphery of the city, with countless villages and towns around.</p>
<p>Lang Ya blessed land could be considered the largest paradise of hairy men in the current world.</p>
<p>Within the blessed land, there were four continents. Three were on the sea, with similar sizes, the fourth one was the smallest but was floating in the sky, known as Cloud Cover Continent, it was the sacred land that hairy men from the other three continents aspired to reach.</p>
<p>In the trading market of Steel Thread City, there was much clamor, it was one of the most famous markets in Black Hair Continent.</p>
<p>Today, at the southeast corner of this market, a fat and muscular hairy man walked onto the stage.</p>
<p>On the stage, there were a ring of hairy men with muscular and hairy bodies.</p>
<p>These hairy men had black and brown hair. This was the natural hair color of the hairy men on Black Hair Continent.</p>
<p>The fat and muscular hairy man stepped onto the stage as the hairy men below started calling out.</p>
<p>Among them, one asked loudly: “Kang Ba, what goods do you have this time?”</p>
<p>The hairy man Kang Ba was a slave merchant, he specialized in selling slaves, he had a huge business, and a certain amount of fame.</p>
<p>Kang Ba heard this and laughed, looking around: “Don’t worry everyone, I brought a lot of yellow haired slaves this time, they include quasi-masters in refinement path, you will definitely be pleased.”</p>
<p>The surrounding hairy men had shining eyes, they discussed enthusiastically.</p>
<p>“Every since Lord Immortal declared from Cloud Cover Continent that seeds would be chosen every ten years to learn the ways of immortals, our three continents have been engaging in huge battles.”</p>
<p>“As for how to choose the immortal seeds, it will depend on who can draw the Lord Immortal’s attention in the battles between the three continents.”</p>
<p>“Just now, our Black Hair Continent joined up with White Hair Continent to deal with Yellow Hair Continent, I heard we won several battles and captured a number of yellow hairs.”</p>
<p>“I am an old man, I dare not think of becoming immortal, but I want these yellow haired slaves as labor for my Gu refinement factory.”</p>
<p>“These slaves are better than employing Gu Masters, they are cheap and I control their life and death, their offspring will also continue to be my slaves.”</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>“Everyone, everyone.” Hairy man Kang Ba raised his hands, causing the surroundings to become quiet: “I do not want to waste everyone’s time, I will now bring out the first slave, everyone can have a look, bring him here!”</p>
<p>“Quickly move!” Behind the stage, a muscular black haired hairy man dragged the chain in his hands.</p>
<p>At the end of the chain, a slave was tied up, full of injuries that exposed his flesh.</p>
<p>It was Fang Zheng, who was interrogated earlier!</p>
<p>Fang Zheng could not resist the black haired hairy man’s brute force, he almost fell to the ground after being pulled.</p>
<p>But when he stood up, he stared at the black haired hairy man fiercely, with a firm and stubborn expression.</p>
<p>Crack.</p>
<p>The black haired hairy man raised his whip and lashed at Fang Zheng’s face.</p>
<p>Fang Zheng felt his face turning numb, before an intense pain assaulted him.</p>
<p>But he gritted his teeth, he swallowed the scream that he was about to utter back down his throat.</p>
<p>“You’re asking for a beating, move quickly!” The black haired hairy man laughed as he stretched out his arm that was thicker than Fang Zheng’s legs, he grabbed his neck and raised him up.</p>
<p>Next, the black haired hairy man stepped onto the stage and walked a few steps to the center, before throwing Fang Zheng down.</p>
<p>Fang Zheng’s neck was grabbed, he could barely breathe, his head was spinning.</p>
<p>After being thrown onto the stage, he nearly fainted on the spot.</p>
<p>He was seeing stars, his head was dizzy, he was sprawled on the ground, unable to stand up.</p>
<p>“Be careful, you idiot.” Kang Ba scolded angrily.</p>
<p>The black haired hairy man who brought Fang Zheng did not dare to offend him, he quickly apologized.</p>
<p>“Scram!” Kang Ba scolded angrily.</p>
<p>The black haired hairy man quickly ran down the stage.</p>
<p>Kang Ba’s expression changed instantly, turning from angry to joyous as he pointed at Fang Zheng, explaining to the hairy men: “This slave is a rare breed, I, Kang Ba, obtained him with great difficulty.”</p>
<p>These words attracted the interest of the audience.</p>
<p>“This slave is not weak at all, he has rank five cultivation level!” Soon, someone noticed Fang Zheng’s faint Gu Master aura and gasped.</p>
<p>“Is this a city lord from Yellow Hair Continent? He was actually captured and had nearly all his hair shaved, who humiliated him like this?” Immediately after, someone asked this curiously.</p>
<p>In White Hair Continent, Black Hair Continent, and Yellow Hair Continent, the city lords usually has the highest authority, they had rank five cultivation level.</p>
<p>In the culture of hairy men, they were proud of the hair on their bodies. Getting their hair shaved was the most cruel humiliation and punishment, in the hearts of most hairy men, it was worse than death.</p>
<p>To make a comparison, it was like having male convicts castrated on Earth.</p>
<p>Kang Ba laughed: “You all are guessing wrongly, this slave is not a hairy man, he is a pure bred human!”</p>
<p>“What?”</p>
<p>“Human?!”</p>
<p>“He is a human?”</p>
<p>In Lang Ya blessed land, hairy men were the dominant race, they rarely saw others. Many of the hairy men present were shocked, this was the first time they had heard of the rumored human.</p>
<p>Fang Zheng had already recovered from his daze, he felt extremely uncomfortable, being watched by so many hairy men.</p>
<p>“Get up, stand properly.” Kang Ba made a hooking motion with his finger.</p>
<p>Fang Zheng lost control of his body, a formless force was controlling him, causing him to stand up on the stage.</p>
<p>The hairy men below the stage could see him clearly now, they were conversing softly with each other, exclaiming in wonder over Fang Zheng.</p>
<p>Kang Ba laughed, feeling very pleased.</p>
<p>He had spent a huge amount to buy this Fang Zheng, it was to create this commotion.</p>
<p>Now, it seemed his goal had been achieved.</p>
<p>The hairy men below the stage were talking among themselves, growing louder and rowdier.</p>
<p>“Quickly look, there’s a human slave on sale there.”</p>
<p>“Really? I want to see it.”</p>
<p>“Go, go and look at this rare thing!”</p>
<p>More and more hairy men noticed this, they were gathering from all around the market.</p>
<p>Fang Zheng stood on the stage, looking down at the sea of hairy men, he was also staring widely.</p>
<p>There was such a huge number of hairy men, this was the first time Fang Zheng was seeing such a thing.</p>
<p>He had seen hairy men in Immortal Crane Sect before, they were slaves refining Gu. He knew the situation of the five regions, humans were the absolute rulers, variant humans were heavily suppressed, desperately surviving in some isolated parts of the world. But now, it seemed that these hairy men were the rulers here, and humans were heavily suppressed!</p>
<p>“Where is this place?” Fang Zheng felt increasingly confused and puzzled.</p>
<p>He remembered being interrogated and tortured, the prison guard told him that his brother was dead and Hu Immortal blessed land was taken over.</p>
<p>At first, he did not believe it, but after some interrogation and torture, he was half believing and half doubtful. Now that he saw this, his puzzlement was intensifying.</p>
<p>“Kang Ba, how much are you selling this slave for?” Someone shouted.</p>
<p>“Hahaha, this much!” Kang Ba raised both hands, extending all ten of his fingers.</p>
<p>The crowd went into a commotion, many cried out: “So expensive!”</p>
<p>“Kang Ba, you are robbing us!”</p>
<p>“You must be crazy to think of such money.”</p>
<p>“Everyone, everyone!” Kang Ba raised his voice, saying loudly: “This is a rank five Gu Master, after becoming your slave, you will gain a rank five fighter! This is an opportunity that you may never encounter again.”</p>
<p>But there were astute figures among the hairy men under the stage.</p>
<p>“A rank five Gu Master, it will not be easy to enslave him.”</p>
<p>“That’s right, to enslave an expert like this, we need at least rank four cultivation level?”</p>
<p>“Also, this slave has clearly been tortured and interrogated, maybe he is already heavily injured.”</p>
<p>“What if he dies after we buy him?”</p>
<p>Kang Ba pretended to be furious: “Who do you think I am? I do business based on sincerity and honesty. Look at him, take a good look!”</p>
<p>Saying this, Kang Ba walked towards Fang Zheng and firmly pressed his fingers around Fang Zheng’s chin and lips.</p>
<p>Fang Zheng felt intense pain, his mouth opened involuntarily, revealing his teeth and lips.</p>
<p>“Look at his teeth, come, look at his skin!” Kang Ba tore and with a sharp sound, Fang Zheng’s shirt was completely shredded.</p>
<p>Fang Zheng shuddered, he was completely naked, exposed in front of the band of hairy men.</p>
<p>“Even though he has injuries over his body, they are all superficial wounds, they can be treated. I can assure they will not result in problems!”</p>
<p>Fang Zheng gritted his teeth, his eyes were spewing fire, intense anger and humiliation filled his heart, he would love to kill all of these hairy men instantly.</p>
<p>Kang Ba chuckled, he used a twig to hold up the object in Fang Zheng’s groin, saying: “Everyone, look, this thing is still working. In the future, he can create human offspring for you, you will have an unlimited supply of slaves.”</p>
<p>“Hahaha…”</p>
<p>The hairy men were laughing loudly.</p>
<p>Fang Zheng’s face was red, he was extremely humiliated, if not for Kang Ba immobilizing him completely, he would have bitten his tongue and tried to suicide.</p>
<p>“I will buy this slave.” Suddenly, a voice came from afar.</p>
<p>Everyone looked towards the source of the voice, and saw a female hairy man, she had black hair all over her body, and she looked at Fang Zheng with a lustful expression.</p>
<p>“Greetings to city lord.” The hairy men all knelt down, including Kang Ba.</p>
<p>“Hahaha.” The female city lord who was twice the size of normal hairy men ordered: “Kang Ba, give this slave medical treatment, clean him and send him to my home. By night time, I want to see him.”</p>
<p>“As you command, our beautiful and strong city lord!” Kang Ba was overjoyed, he kowtowed as he acknowledged.</p>
<p>Fang Zheng shut his eyes, losing all hope in life.</p>
<p>At this moment, there was a thunderous sound, the world trembled.</p>
<p>A five-colored light shot up from Cloud Cover Continent in the sky, shining over the entirety of Lang Ya blessed land.</p>
<p>“What is happening in Cloud Cover Continent?”</p>
<p>“Oh heavens, this is the light of the immortals, this is a huge blessing!”</p>
<p>The attention of the hairy men was drawn by this event, everyone raised their heads and looked with curiosity, admiration, and envy… as for Fang Zheng, he was completely forgotten already.</p>

<h1>Chapter 105</h1>
<p>Gu Yue Qing Shu was also an orphan like Fang Yuan and Fang Zheng.</p>
<p>His parents had died in a wolf tide when he was young.</p>
<p>He was personally raised by clan leader Gu Yue Bo.</p>
<p>After he was tested to have B grade aptitude, he received Gu Yue Bo’s personal guidance. His aptitude was outstanding and could be said to be at the top among the B grades, it could even be called ‘false A grade’. Gu Yue Bo had been raising him as a clan leader candidate.</p>
<p>Gu Yue Qing Shu had a warm temperament and was amicable. He was highly praised and received well by the clan members. He was also very loyal to the clan; Fang Zheng’s arrival cut off his hopes of inheriting the clan leader position, but he was instead happy and wholeheartedly took care of Fang Zheng.</p>
<p>On Earth, Yue Fei<a href="footnote.xhtml#fn0105_01" id="fn0105_01"><sup>1</sup></a>, Wei Zheng<a href="footnote.xhtml#fn0105_02" id="fn0105_02"><sup>2</sup></a> and Bao Zheng<a href="footnote.xhtml#fn0105_03" id="fn0105_03"><sup>3</sup></a> were people with such character.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, in the wolf tide a year later, the Northern gate would fall; to block this gap and protect the clan members, he stepped forward. In the end, he forcefully used a Rank three Gu with his Rank two cultivation, becoming an impenetrable fortress and successfully defending the village.</p>
<p>However, his aperture was destroyed because of this and he finally turned into a treeman and died.</p>
<p>Thus, Gu Yue Qing Shu had left a profound impression on Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>When he saw Fang Yuan sighing, Gu Yue Qing Shu naturally didn’t think that Fang Yuan was looking back on his death and thought Fang Yuan was vexed due to the Liquor worm.</p>
<p>He smiled, “Fang Yuan, you should already be clear on the limits of Liquor worm. The Liquor worm is only a Rank one Gu worm and can only refine Rank one green copper essence. But you are already a Rank two Gu Master; the Liquor worm has no use towards red steel primeval essence. Although you have a wine tavern now and can easily raise the Liquor worm, why would you vainly raise something that has no use to you?”</p>
<p>He switched the thread of discussion, “The Liquor worm has no use to you but it is useful to other Rank one Gu Masters. Especially in the awakening ceremony next spring, there will be a new batch of students and the Liquor worm will be of great help to them. So, you might as well just sell the Liquor worm to the clan and contribute to clan’s strength.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan didn’t reply.</p>
<p>Qing Shu pondered, guessing Fang Yuan’s intention, “I understand now. You are reluctant to part with the Liquor worm, you even want to fuse it. If I am not wrong, you should be thinking of going the route of the Rank two White Chrysalis, then the Rank three Mist Perspiring butterfly fusion route, right?”</p>
<p>“This is the most widespread and also the most practical recipe. The Mist Perspiring butterfly is a great Gu worm. But the White Chrysalis has no ability. This fusion route wouldn’t have much value to you. You have C grade aptitude and now have Rank two cultivation; White Chrysalis doesn’t have any ability and will only squander food, it will be of no help to you.”</p>
<p>“What is the possibility of you reaching Rank three? Even if you succeeded in advancing to Rank three, you will probably be middle-aged by then. Will you raise the useless White Chrysalis for tens of years? It will be better to use the expenses of raising White Chrysalis on nurturing Gu worms. That is more practical and will be more helpful to you, am I wrong?”</p>
<p>“Liquor worm’s true value lies in refining primeval essence and raising a small realm. If you go through this fusion, you will only be treating the Liquor worm as a material, won’t that be a pity?”</p>
<p>All Gu worms had only one ability.</p>
<p>For instance, the Spring Autumn Cicada was a Rank six Gu, but it only had the ability of rebirth.</p>
<p>The new Gu worm that comes from fusion usually took an ability from one Gu worm and enhanced it. White Jade Gu, for instance, took the defensive ability of Jade Skin Gu and enhanced it, while losing the White Boar Gu’s ability to gain increased strength.</p>
<p>That is to say, if someone obtained White Jade Gu, it would only help in defense and couldn’t increase the Gu Master’s strength.</p>
<p>Qing Shu was correct, the Liquor worm’s value was in refining primeval essence and raising its stage by a small realm.</p>
<p>To Gu Masters, this was another form of increasing their primeval essence reserves while also being an enormous help in nourishing their aperture and increasing their cultivation speed.</p>
<p>If one went through ‘White Chrysalis, Mist Perspiring Butterfly’ fusion route, the resulting Gu worms won’t have the ability to refine primeval essence which would truly be a pity.</p>
<p>In fact, Flower Wine Monk took this route and refined the Mist Perspiring Butterfly from the Liquor worm, using it to enchant women and commit evil acts. After his death, the Mist Perspiring Butterfly continued to degenerate due to not having sufficient food and finally reverted back to Liquor worm.</p>
<p>Qing Shu’s eyes flashed upon seeing the silent Fang Yuan and continued, “Actually, our clan has a recipe; this recipe raises Liquor worm to Rank two Moon Harbinger Gu then the Rank three Seven Fragrances Liquor worm. Seven Fragrances Liquor worm has the ability to refine primeval essence.”</p>
<p>“Fang Yuan, if you don’t want to sell the Liquor worm, then we could change it to a business transaction. You will sell the Liquor worm to the clan and if the clan can refine it to the Seven Fragrances Liquor worm, you will have the right to use it for five years. If it fails, the clan will compensate for it. What do you think?”</p>
<p>Doing this meant the clan will bear all the risks for the fusion. With such a superior condition, others might eagerly agree to it.</p>
<p>But Fang Yuan only sneered coldly in his heart.</p>
<p>He knew himself.</p>
<p>With his 44% C grade aptitude, advancing to Rank three was almost impossible. In his previous life, Fang Yuan had stalled at Rank two for over a hundred years before finally and coincidentally obtaining a talent-raising Gu worm and becoming a Rank three Gu Master.</p>
<p>Five years of using rights sounded wonderful but to Fang Yuan, it was like trying to catch the moon’s reflection in water.</p>
<p>Gu Yue Qing Shu had said so because he saw Fang Yuan’s ambitions to charge to Rank three, so he intentionally threw this sweet bait to lure Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>But he had miscalculated from the start!</p>
<p>In Fang Yuan’s memories, there was the best recipe for the Liquor worm fusion.</p>
<p>First was advancing the Liquor worm to Rank two Four Flavors Liquor worm then to the Rank three Seven Fragrances Liquor worm. Whether it was Four Flavors Liquor worm or Seven Fragrances Liquor worm, both had the ability to refine primeval essence.</p>
<p>However, it was not easy to refine the Four Flavors Liquor worm.</p>
<p>First of all, its fusion required two Liquor worms; Fang Yuan only had one currently. Next, the fusion required four types of wine, and these four wines should be of four different flavors: sour, sweet, bitter and spicy.</p>
<p>Let’s not talk about the difficulty in purchasing a Liquor worm with there being hardly any supply of it in the market.</p>
<p>Let’s look at these four wines first.</p>
<p>Spicy wines were the most common, ordinary white spirit wine were all of this type. For sour wines, you could get bayberry wine and grape wines; rice wines could fit the sweet wine criteria. But as for the bitter wines, it needed some thinking to be done.</p>
<p>From what Fang Yuan knew, there was a type of green bitter wine which was brewed by using Ai grass. Unfortunately the Ai village was immeasurably far away, how would he obtain it?</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had detained the Liquor worm not because he wanted to wait and sell it for a high price. Rather, Fang Yuan had all along wanted to go through this fusion route; using any other fusion routes could be counted as ruining the Liquor worm.</p>
<p>How could Gu Yue Qing Shu know what Fang Yuan had in mind.</p>
<p>Seeing Fang Yuan not making any moves to agree at all, he threw his trump card, “Fang Yuan, if you sell the Liquor worm, I can mediate between you and Fang Zheng. At least, he won’t use the family assets to challenge you to a Gu battle. You also know the clan rules; the challenge must be accepted. Even if the Gu battle request is not approved by the higher-ups, it must first be accepted. Even if you are sure of your defeat and don’t want to go to the arena, directly throwing in the towel, you still need to accept the challenge.”</p>
<p>This world promoted martial spirit; clans didn’t need cowards. If there was a challenge, Gu Masters must accept them. Accepting the challenge proves that you are not a coward. Even if you admit your defeat in front of the public, that too would be a conduct of courage.</p>
<p>Under the oppression of the ruthless environment, this had automatically turned and formed into a system of values.</p>
<p>The clan’s higher-ups would arbitrate according to the results of the Gu battles and resolve any problems and disputes.</p>
<p>The premise of a Gu battle was to have a reason. The challenger should be in the right and the challenge should be reasonable, or the two parties could both make an agreement similar to betting, only then would the Gu battle be approved.</p>
<p>“Fang Zheng’s Gu battle request is reasonable and fair; it will be approved. If this happens, no matter the result – whether loss or win – will be judged by the elders. Who do you think the elders will side with between you and Fang Zheng?”</p>
<p>Qing Shu’s smile became bigger, he looked at Fang Yuan with a burning gaze and continued to add pressure, “Fang Yuan, if you win, you will simply have to part with a tiny bit less of the family assets. But if you sell the Liquor worm to the clan, you will be contributing to the clan. The clan will remember you. I can also guarantee that Fang Zheng would never challenge you on the basis of family assets.”</p>
<p>The implication was that Fang Zheng could still challenge Fang Yuan with different reasons.</p>
<p>This was one of the things Gu Yue Qing Shu and Gu Yue Bo would be happy to see. They hoped Fang Zheng would defeat Fang Yuan and break the shadow in his heart to build up his self-confidence.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan suddenly smiled, he had been listening to Gu Yue Qing Shu’s chatters from the beginning. And now, he finally spoke.</p>
<p>“You think I will lose if we fight?” Fang Yuan asked Qing Shu.</p>
<p>Qing Shu also smiled, “Fights are full of variations, no one can foretell what might happen. However, I need to remind you, Fang Zheng has already refined the Rank two Moonveil Gu; you won’t have much of an advantage.”</p>
<p>“Hahaha.” Fang Yuan shook his head, and the smile on his face became bigger, “I will lose, I’d definitely lose.”</p>
<p>Qing Shu stared blankly.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan stared into his eyes and continued, “Not only will I lose, I will even lose very miserably. I will hand over all my parents’ inheritance, and from then on I will sleep on the street and wander about begging in the village.”</p>
<p>“You…” Gu Yue Qing Shu was smart, he understood Fang Yuan’s true intentions. His expression became grave; no longer was it confident and graceful.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s words were a bare threat.</p>
<p>Fang Zheng was being raised as the next clan leader; if it was made known that he had recognized others as his parents, used his cultivation and aptitude to bully his big brother, snatching the inheritance, then there would be a devastating damage to his reputation.</p>
<p>Even on Earth, a person who did this would be shamed and disdained by people. Let alone in this world where the values of family love was raised to a whole new level.</p>
<p>It wouldn’t be anything if Fang Zheng wanted to become a devil. But he was going to become a clan leader, a leader of the righteous path, and that meant he needed to uphold virtue and cherish it.</p>
<p>For a moment, Gu Yue Qing Shu looked dazedly at Fang Yuan. He discovered that despite hearing a lot about Fang Yuan, he had still underestimated the latter.</p>
<p>The dominance that he built up from his many sentences since the moment they met, had now crumbled with a bang.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan hit the nail on the head, directly indicating the main part to Gu Yue Qing Shu.</p>
<p>If it was another person, Fang Yuan would have spoken differently. But Gu Yue Qing Shu was someone who had extreme loyalty to the clan and in Fang Yuan’s previous life, he would rather sacrifice himself to protect the clan. Thus, he had no choice but to worry because of Fang Yuan’s threat.</p>
<p>However, he quickly calmed down, his eyes staring at Fang Yuan as he spoke between clenched teeth, “But you won’t do this. Because the inheritance has been your goal all along, how will you cultivate if you give up the inheritance?”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan wasn’t afraid. He met Qing Shu’s gaze, his lips curled up in a smile, “That’s why I believe you will give up the notion of buying the Liquor worm and also persuade Fang Zheng to not challenge me, am I wrong?”</p>
<p>Others might not be able to persuade Fang Zheng, but Gu Yue Qing Shu had this capability.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had no doubt on this.</p>
<p>The situation was in a deadlock.</p>
<p>After a moment, Gu Yue Qing Shu lowered his eyes.</p>
<p>He stared at the wine cup in his hand for a while and suddenly laughed.</p>
<p>“Interesting, we will do just that.” His tone carried a hint of melancholy.</p>

<h1>Chapter 1050</h1>
<p>On this day, from Cloud Cover Continent, a huge light burst into the sky.</p>
<p>Light in the colors of the rainbow was shining in the sky, shooting into the sky like a beam from the heavens.</p>
<p>It was so dazzling, all of the hairy men on Black Hair Continent, White Hair Continent, and Yellow Hair Continent only needed to raise their heads to see it.</p>
<p>“This is the work of immortals!” The hairy men sighed.</p>
<p>If this were in the past, the three continents would only have rumors and vague legends of Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>But after Lang Ya land spirit’s personality changed, the situation changed completely.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit sent out orders, imitating the imperial court contest, to stir up competition in the three continents to select elite candidates to cultivate in Cloud Cover Continent.</p>
<p>The war between the three continents affected all hairy men, and the ‘immortal miracle’ of Cloud Cover Continent stirred the passions of the hairy men.</p>
<p>“Becoming an immortal…” Black Hair King looked at the sky, his eyes shining with brilliant light.</p>
<p>As the light faded, Black Hair King made up his mind: “Send out my imperial decree. The immortal miracle is an auspicious sign. We will hold a martial competition in remembrance of this. The winner of the martial competition will be able to choose a treasure from our treasury!”</p>
<p>“Yes.” The guard who received the order answered as they left in a bowing position.</p>
<p>Black Hair King’s idea was not new, he had thought about it for a long time already.</p>
<p>The war between the three continents made Black Hair King realize that the mindset of Gu refinement being important above all needed to be abandoned. To deal with the future battles, he needed elite Gu Masters skilled in combat.</p>
<p>With Black Hair King’s order, a huge commotion spread out from the imperial city, rapidly projecting outwards and growing larger and larger.</p>
<p>Soon, half a month later.</p>
<p>Steel Thread City had an esteemed guest.</p>
<p>This guest was received by Steel Thread City Lord personally, because he was also a city lord himself.</p>
<p>“Hua Feng City Lord, is there anything you need by coming here?” During the banquet, while drinking, Steel Thread City Lord asked.</p>
<p>“Steel Thread City Lord, you are an insightful person, you know my intentions in coming here already.” Hua Feng City Lord smiled, pointing at the hairy man Gu Masters behind him: “The king wants to hold a martial competition, but each region can only send three people. And in our region, there are both of our cities. The Gu Masters behind me are the ones I am going to send to the competition. But because the king has limited the number of people, we can hold a contest here first and decide who goes to the martial competition!”</p>
<p>“Hahaha. Very good, I have the same idea.” Steel Thread City Lord laughed, clapping as she summoned the hairy man Gu Masters onto the stage.</p>
<p>Both sides dispatched a person each and started to fight.</p>
<p>After several rounds, Hua Feng City won all of their matches, while Steel Thread City lost all of theirs.</p>
<p>Hua Feng City Lord laughed, drinking wine casually, while Steel Thread City Lord had a grim expression, she had a heavy feeling: “To think that Hua Feng City Lord came prepared, he picked such elite Gu Masters. Oh no, if we do not win any battles, this would definitely become widely spread news. For the next few years, we will live under the pressure of Hua Feng City.”</p>
<p>“There is only one match left, Steel Thread City Lord, please send your participant.” Hua Feng City Lord urged.</p>
<p>Steel Thread City Lord snorted coldly, she placed her gaze on a hairy man.</p>
<p>But this hairy man Gu Master was breaking out in cold sweat, this situation made him feel a strong burden. Precisely so, he felt a lack of confidence.</p>
<p>Not just him, the higher-ups of Steel Thread City in the banquet also felt no confidence in him.</p>
<p>At this moment, an elder in the city transmitted to Steel Thread City Lord secretly: “City Lord, I know someone who can salvage our reputation.”</p>
<p>Steel Thread City Lord heard this and was overjoyed, she quickly asked who it was.</p>
<p>This elder answered: “City Lord, did you forget, you recently bought a human slave, he has rank five cultivation level.”</p>
<p>Steel Thread City Lord was stunned, her expression was bitter as she transmitted: “This is inappropriate! My contest with Hua Feng City Lord is an open, fair and just matter involving our reputations. If I send out this human slave, so be it if we lose, but if we win, he will be sent to participate in the martial competition. If the king sees that my Steel Thread City sends a human instead of hairy men, would he not reprimand me?”</p>
<p>The elder laughed.</p>
<p>He knew that this was just Steel Thread City Lord’s excuse.</p>
<p>The truth was, Steel Thread City Lord was just reluctant.</p>
<p>That slave called ‘Fang Yuan’ had been visited by the city lord almost every night since he was bought. This had made a lot of the higher-ups unhappy.</p>
<p>The elder continued: “City Lord, don’t worry. The current king is magnanimous, he only cares about talent. Among the elders assisting him, there are no lack of snowmen and feathermen. City Lord, if you send Fang Yuan and he loses, he can take full responsibility. If he wins, our reputation will be salvaged, and he would be sent to the competition, the king would surely hold a good opinion of you, he might even think of you as a friend, who knows.”</p>
<p>Steel Thread City Lord looked at this elder deeply, thinking: “This old fox is really scheming! Isn’t the reason simply because I have neglected the nephew that you sent to me? This is such a vile plan. If we win, I will send Fang Yuan away. If we lose, I will have to kill Fang Yuan and throw the responsibility to him. Regardless of victory or defeat, I will lose Fang Yuan.”</p>
<p>“Oh, forget it!” Steel Thread City Lord sighed: “How can I be someone who gives in to lust and neglects the important matters?”</p>
<p>Even though Steel Thread City Lord visited Fang Zheng every night and was obsessed with him, she was a hard-hearted person, a hairy man who pursued authority and power.</p>
<p>In her heart, looks were nothing.</p>
<p>Thus, Steel Thread City Lord swapped that hairy man and summoned Fang Zheng, informing him.</p>
<p>After learning of the reason, Fang Zheng walked onto the stage.</p>
<p>“It is a rank five Gu Master!” Hua Feng City Lord’s heart jumped, sensing Fang Zheng’s rank five aura, he immediately was on alert.</p>
<p>He smiled: “According to the rules, my side will decide the content of this round. In the previous few rounds, we competed using battle strength, now how can the traditions and essence of us hairy men be discarded? This round, we will compete using Gu refinement.”</p>
<p>Once he said that, Steel Thread City Lord almost berated him in anger.</p>
<p>The elders from Steel Thread City also looked towards Hua Feng City Lord with distaste.</p>
<p>But Hua Feng City Lord had been a city lord for many years, he was unabashed, he ignored these glances.</p>
<p>Steel Thread City Lord could not rebuke him, after all, the rules were set earlier, she waved to Fang Zheng: “Go and compete. Display all of your capabilities, remember, you must win at all costs. If you lose, you will lose your life to compensate for the loss.”</p>
<p>Fang Zheng heard this and was expressionless.</p>
<p>He had been utterly humiliated these last days. Steel Thread City Lord had a strong desire for night activities, she liked all sorts of stances and positions, they did it seventeen or eighteen times a night, she had no restraints, Fang Zheng felt like he was better off dead.</p>
<p>Fang Zheng really wanted to simply die, but as a slave, he was under their control, he could not even die if he wanted to.</p>
<p>Steel Thread City Lord threatened him with death now, to him it was a form of release.</p>
<p>In his mind, there was a thought: “Do I still want to live? I might as well surrender and die!”</p>
<p>But at this moment, a voice appeared in his mind: “Idiot! A true man needs to be able to give in and put down his pride at times, this humiliation is nothing. If you have guts, take revenge in the future, cut all of these enemies who humiliated you into a million pieces. This is the act of an outstanding individual!”</p>
<p>“Who are you?!” Fang Zheng was shocked, he screamed out loud.</p>
<p>On the other side, Hua Feng City’s final hairy man Gu Master stepped onto the stage.</p>
<p>He thought Fang Zheng was talking to him, he puffed out his chest and said: “I am Mao Shi Ba!”</p>
<p>Fang Zheng did not respond.</p>
<p>He had regained his freedom, he could use many Gu worms now, but the voice in his mind appeared and vanished instantly, he could not find any traces of it no matter how much he inspected his body.</p>
<p>“Scum, you dare to humiliate me?!” Mao Shi Ba was furious.</p>
<p>He gave his own name, but Fang Zheng ignored him, it was as if he was too high and mighty to introduce himself, Mao Shi Ba was extremely angry.</p>
<p>“Why is this guy so angry?” Fang Zheng was startled into awareness by Mao Shi Ba, he thought this to himself.</p>
<p>Because of this misunderstanding, before the contest started, there was huge animosity.</p>
<p>Under everyone’s gazes, the contest started.</p>
<p>Mao Shi Ba was the strongest Gu Master in Hua Feng City, he was skilled in both the pen and the sword, not only was he good at fighting, he was also skilled at refining Gu.</p>
<p>In contrast, even though Fang Zheng cultivated in Immortal Crane Sect for some time, he mainly cultivated enslavement path, he had only explored refinement path a little.</p>
<p>The contest had just started, but Mao Shi Ba already took the lead.</p>
<p>During the middle of the contest, Mao Shi Ba had already left Fang Zheng in the dust, his advantage was immense.</p>
<p>In the final moments, the hairy men watching, be it from Steel Thread City or Hua Feng City, did not think that Fang Zheng could win.</p>
<p>Even Fang Zheng thought the same.</p>
<p>“Am I going to lose, so be it, death is release after all.” He sighed internally.</p>
<p>“Bullshit!” At this time, the voice spoke again.</p>
<p>Fang Zheng was shocked, his hands trembled, the half complete Gu went up in smoke.</p>
<p>“Hahaha.” Hua Feng City Lord laughed.</p>
<p>Steel Thread City Lord had an ugly expression.</p>
<p>Inside Fang Zheng’s mind, the voice continued: “How can a true man falter in the face of such a small setback?”</p>
<p>“You, you are… Fang Yuan?!” This time, Fang Zheng recognized the voice.</p>
<p>“Hehe, my main body is already dead. Only this will is left in your mind. As my brother living in this world, you are not thinking of improving yourself, you do not seek revenge, I truly cannot watch anymore!” Fang Yuan’s will scolded angrily.</p>
<p>Fang Zheng snorted, thinking: “You are already dead, why are you still coming out to interfere in matters?”</p>
<p>He was familiar with Lord Sky Crane’s soul, who helped him cultivate in the past, it was easy for him to converse with Fang Yuan’s will, in fact, he even felt a sense of nostalgia.</p>
<p>But on the surface, the hairy men could not see anything. They only thought that Fang Zheng was completely dazed and had a blank expression.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s will felt Fang Zheng’s animosity and laughed nonchalantly: “Since I am dead, why did you use my name to impersonate me?”</p>
<p>Fang Zheng was silent.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s will continued: “You were humiliated and tortured, but you refused to expose your real name, this shows that you still have a sense of shame, anger, and hatred. Then why are you not using this chance to improve and get stronger? You know the situation, if you win this, you will be able to join the martial competition, freeing yourself from being a slave and regaining freedom!”</p>
<p>“I want to win too, who doesn’t want revenge and freedom? But my loss is assured!” Fang Zheng said angrily.</p>
<p>“Haha.” Fang Yuan’s will laughed: “As long as you follow my instructions, you can surpass Mao Shi Ba and win this.”</p>
<p>Fang Zheng was stunned, he asked: “What scheme is it this time?”</p>
<p>“Hmph.” Fang Yuan’s will snorted: “Even though I am dead, I am indignant! I want revenge! None of the hairy man Gu Immortals who killed me will escape. You are my hope for revenge! Aren’t you using my name now? Then take revenge for me!”</p>
<p>“Why must I help a demon who slaughtered his entire clan like a monster take revenge?!” Fang Zheng replied furiously.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s will replied: “There is no time for you to squabble. Follow my instructions. Start the fire, put in the three different kinds of gold. Remember, profound gold, ice gold, and tear gold, place them inside the cauldron in order.”</p>
<p>Fang Zheng gritted his teeth, even though he did not want to listen to Fang Yuan, his words gave him some hope of victory, and this concerned his life.</p>
<p>Hesitating for a while, he stretched out his hand.</p>
<p>Refining Gu again!</p>
<p>The audience laughed loudly upon seeing this.</p>
<p>But in a few minutes, they could not laugh anymore, they looked at Fang Zheng in shock.</p>
<p>He raised his right hand, holding the Gu worm, he had refined it under everyone’s gazes.</p>
<p>“I won!” He breathed in deeply, declaring loudly.</p>
<p>In the hall, nobody spoke.</p>
<p>Even his opponent, Mao Shi Ba, could not accept this fact, he was staring blankly.</p>
<p>The atmosphere was quite unique.</p>
<p>The hairy men did not want to acknowledge that a human had defeated an expert hairy man Gu Master in a competition of Gu refinement!</p>
<p>After a while, someone said: “Quickly look, the rainbow light from Cloud Cover Continent is fading!”</p>
<p>Everyone followed what the voice had said.</p>
<p>Dozens of gazes looked through the entrance of the hall, indeed, the rainbow light coming from Cloud Cover Continent was vanishing.</p>
<p>From the rainbow light, a figure walked out.</p>
<p>“It seems you have recovered.” Lang Ya land spirit looked at this person and smiled.</p>
<p>“Yes.” This person nodded: “This is all thanks to first supreme elder.”</p>
<p>As he spoke, the rainbow light faded, showing his appearance.</p>
<p>If Fang Zheng saw this person, he would be shocked.</p>
<p>This person was naturally Fang Yuan!</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit laughed: “If you want to thank me, isn’t it simple? Give Dang Hun Mountain, Luo Po valley, or wisdom Gu to me.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan smiled: “Giving is impossible! But we can make a trade. I wonder what price first supreme elder is willing to pay?”</p>
<p>“Ugh.” Lang Ya land spirit’s laughter stopped: “This…”</p>
<p>He was hesitant, awkwardness was written all over his face.</p>

<h1>Chapter 1051</h1>
<p>Be it Dang Hun Mountain, Luo Po valley, or wisdom Gu, they were priceless treasures, unique in this world, exceptional in their domains.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan said they could be traded, but what could Lang Ya land spirit use to buy them?</p>
<p>Fang Yuan did not reject him, he was waiting in anticipation.</p>
<p>Lang Ya blessed land had a deep foundation, it was not simple. It had survived the eras of two venerables and existed up to this day. After Imperial Court blessed land was destroyed, it could be called the number one blessed land in the five regions!</p>
<p>When he was alive, the land spirit was known as the number one refinement path immortal of all times. He faintly surpassed Old Eccentric Tian Nan and Old Immortal Kong Jue.</p>
<p>Such a character, how could he not have anything worth trading?</p>
<p>Like Immortal Gu transactions, each one was unique.</p>
<p>Unparalleled items could be exchanged using similarly unparalleled items.</p>
<p>The assessment of their value depended on the individual’s own circumstances!</p>
<p>Dang Hun Mountain, Luo Po valley, and wisdom Gu, these three were not objects that Fang Yuan would not trade away, as long as the gain was worth it.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit started to pace around.</p>
<p>He frowned, entering deep thought.</p>
<p>If it were the previous land spirit, there would be no need for consideration, he would trade with Fang Yuan. But after changing personality, this new Lang Ya land spirit had a different focus.</p>
<p>“The white haired land spirit was formed from the obsession about space escape Gu, thus he is only interested in refining Gu, he nurtured all of the hairy man Gu Immortals to be refinement path experts. But this black hair land spirit wants to turn hairy men into the dominant race, I can make good use of this point.” Fang Yuan thought, seeing this land spirit walking around, he patiently waited for his decision.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had a sense of confidence.</p>
<p>He believed that Lang Ya land spirit would not disappoint him.</p>
<p>As Fang Yuan had expected, after struggling, Lang Ya land spirit made up his mind and decided to trade with Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>“First supreme elder, I am not doubting your ability to trade with me, but it has to suit both of us. If the things you have cannot match my expectations, I am afraid…” Fang Yuan purposely said.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit stared as he said grumpily: “Don’t worry! My Lang Ya Sect’s treasures are not inferior to those three things!”</p>
<p>Saying so, he handed Fang Yuan an information path Gu worm.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan stretched out his arm, receiving this Gu worm.</p>
<p>This Gu was like a silkworm, although it had a head, thorax and abdomen, three distinct parts, its body looked like a cocoon overall, round and cute. It was white and looked like a vase, with a shiny glaze on the surface. Fang Yuan held it in his hand, it was smooth and shiny, it had a good feel to it when handled.</p>
<p>“This is a bookworm?” Fang Yuan was slightly shocked.</p>
<p>He had seen bookworms before, they were a type of valuable rank one Gu. But what shocked him was, this bookworm was emanating rank three aura.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit snorted, saying: “This is something my previous self made. He broke the limits of the rank one bookworm, developing rank two and three versions of it. But what use do they have? If enemies attack, can the bookworms defend us?”</p>
<p>Even though he said that, Fang Yuan could hear vague smugness hidden in Lang Ya land spirit’s tone.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan shook his head, without speaking, he used a trace of the unlimited primeval essence in his immortal essence to use the bookworm, as well as sending a portion of his consciousness into it.</p>
<p>He did not own the bookworm, but he had borrowed it from Lang Ya land spirit, thus he could use it without obstruction.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s eyes were shining.</p>
<p>The information in the bookworm made him extremely excited, his heartbeat rose.</p>
<p>“As I expected!” Fang Yuan praised in his mind, his thoughts were frothing about uncontrollably.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had returned to Lang Ya blessed land and spent a lot of time recuperating, at this time, his immortal aperture’s calamity was around the corner.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie, Hei Lou Lan, Hu Immortal blessed land, Fixed Immortal Travel, all of these things did not matter now. His biggest obstacle was to pass this calamity!</p>
<p>Once in a while, calamities and tribulations descend in a Gu Immortal’s immortal aperture. The deeper the foundation of the immortal aperture, the stronger the calamities and tribulations.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s current immortal aperture had not been managed yet, it was empty. But it had an incredibly huge space, and a large time path foundation in it, it was even not limited by the separate natures of the five regions. Such an immortal aperture far surpassed the ten extreme physiques combined, the calamities and tribulations he was going to face would be unprecedentedly dangerous!</p>
<p>One could say, this was a sharp blade hanging around Fang Yuan’s neck.</p>
<p>When he was recuperating, Fang Yuan had been training Fang Zheng as well as considering his circumstances.</p>
<p>There was only a few days until the calamity, Fang Yuan did not have much confidence, he was uncertain about it.</p>
<p>Most of his Immortal Gu were left in his original body, a number were destroyed, while the others were left with Ying Wu Xie. Fang Yuan’s strength was much lower now.</p>
<p>Tai Bai Yun Sheng and Hei Lou Lan were nowhere to be found, while Fairy Li Shan and Blazing Heaven Demoness were dead. The only help he could get was from Lang Ya blessed land.</p>
<p>And Lang Ya blessed land must have survived a lot of calamities and tribulations after existing for so many years. It was a successful example that had dealt with many tribulations, there was bound to be much for Fang Yuan to learn from it.</p>
<p>“How is it?” Lang Ya land spirit smiled and said.</p>
<p>He raised three fingers at Fang Yuan: “My Lang Ya Sect has three major foundations. Firstly, the refinement path true inheritance left behind by my main body, it has the essence of my entire life’s cultivation. Secondly, the luck path true inheritance left by Giant Sun Immortal Venerable. Thirdly, the theft path true inheritance left by Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable. When my main body was alive, I had refined Gu for these two venerables, the payment I requested were one of each of their true inheritances.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan gave a slight nod.</p>
<p>The bookworm recorded details of these three true inheritances.</p>
<p>No matter which one, they were deep and profound, Fang Yuan only saw their most superficial information, and was already deeply attracted by them, they were extremely valuable.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit continued: “Among these three true inheritances, the Thieving Heaven true inheritance is the least valuable. That is because my main body created space escape Gu, but could not activate it, thus, I returned a portion of the payment. However, Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable’s true inheritances all come in pairs. If you are lucky, after getting this true inheritance, and if the other true inheritance is not obtained yet, you might get clues to the second true inheritance.”</p>
<p>“Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable left behind a total of ten true inheritances, but only otherworldly demons can receive most of them, only the one I have is an exception. Fang Yuan, you are an otherworldly demon, you can easily obtain the other Thieving Heaven true inheritance if it is still available.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan gave a slight nod.</p>
<p>He had seen the power of formless hand, using theft path methods, he could steal the Immortal Gu of others, and gain the greatest benefits after every battle.</p>
<p>And some methods that Fang Yuan relied on greatly, unfamiliar face, vaguely familiar face, and familiar face, were also Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable’s immortal killer moves.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had experienced the benefits of stealing, this true inheritance would not disappoint him.</p>
<p>After pausing for a while, Lang Ya land spirit continued: “Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable had a total of ten true inheritances, but Giant Sun Immortal Venerable only had three. When I was alive, I refined the Immortal Gu House Eighty-Eight True Yang Building for him, thus, this true inheritance’s value is higher than Thieving Heaven’s.”</p>
<p>“Giant Sun Immortal Venerable’s three true inheritances encompass all of his methods regarding luck path. They are self luck, all living being’s luck, and heaven and earth luck. Among which, the self luck true inheritance is with me. The all living being’s luck true inheritance was inside Imperial Court blessed land. As for the heaven and earth luck true inheritance, it is in Longevity Heaven.”</p>
<p>Self luck, all living being’s luck, heaven and earth luck.</p>
<p>Connect luck Immortal Gu, break luck Immortal Gu, divert disaster Immortal Gu, they were part of the all living being’s luck true inheritance. After Imperial Court blessed land was destroyed by Fang Yuan, some of these Immortal Gu were sent outside, as for the details of cultivation involved in it, they were already lost.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan and Ma Hong Yun had interacted, he knew about the power of luck path.</p>
<p>“Ignoring other things, if I had divert disaster Immortal Gu, I could mimic Imperial Court blessed land and send my calamities and tribulations outside.” Fang Yuan knew that luck path was very useful for his tribulations.</p>
<p>Even if this self luck true inheritance did not have Gu like divert disaster Immortal Gu, the higher Fang Yuan’s luck was, the weaker his calamities and tribulations would be, he could deal with them more easily.</p>
<p>“Fang Yuan, I would suggest you take the self luck true inheritance. Because your luck seems to be really bad.” Lang Ya land spirit said.</p>
<p>“Just now, how many problems and mishaps occurred when you came back from Southern Border? Even on my end, I lost two hairy man Gu Immortals, you can’t even imagine the cause!”</p>
<p>“In order to refine fortune rivalling heaven Immortal Gu, Old Ancestor Xue Hu ordered the demonic path Gu Immortals in Snowy Mountain blessed land to collect materials for him. This act made the loyalty of his members drop, at a crucial moment, a traitor appeared in Snowy Mountain blessed land, stealing one of the most crucial materials.”</p>
<p>“Old Ancestor Xue Hu was enraged, he dispatched Gu Immortals to capture any suspicious people. The hairy man Gu Immortal I sent to receive you was implicated.”</p>
<p>“As for the second Gu Immortal who disappeared mysteriously, I have not even discovered what was the cause of his disappearance!”</p>
<p>“I believe that one day, the truth will come out. They will not be sacrificed in vain!” Fang Yuan urged.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit gritted his teeth, he did not continue this topic, he went back to the previous one: “Actually, it seems to me that the true inheritance which suits you the most is the first one. Refinement path has two styles, do you know of them?”</p>
<p>“I have heard of them.” Fang Yuan said.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit continued: “The two styles are the hairy man heaven and earth style, and the human isolation style. Us hairy men refine Gu differently from humans, we can use the dao marks of heaven and earth to create the most conducive environment to refine Gu, and increase the chance of succeeding in the Gu refinement.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan listened patiently, Lang Ya land spirit would have his reasons for saying this.</p>
<p>“Back then, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable and Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable had requested help from my main body, that was because my main body used the hairy men heaven and earth style to refine Gu, the success rate of refining Gu was higher than your human isolation style.”</p>
<p>“My main body not only knew the essence of the hairy man heaven and earth style, I even used Old Immortal Kong Jue’s true inheritance to break past our limits, reaching a higher level, I conceptualized an immortal killer move, called immortal tribulation tempering aperture!”</p>
<p>“Immortal tribulation tempering aperture?” Fang Yuan’s eyes shined, he felt deep interest.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit smiled with great pride as he continued explaining.</p>
<p>As it turned out, this killer move, immortal tribulation tempering aperture, was a refinement path killer move that used several Immortal Gu and more than a hundred thousand mortal Gu to form.</p>
<p>It had an ingenious concept, it used the blessed land or grotto-heaven as the target of refinement, using the killer move to connect the immortal aperture with the outside world of the five regions, influencing the calamity or tribulation and using it to temper the immortal aperture itself.</p>
<p>“The calamities and tribulations of immortal apertures can have all sorts of strangeness, it makes them hard to deal with. But using this killer move, one can restrict the type of calamities and tribulations that happen. Do you know why Lang Ya blessed land was placed around Crescent Lake in the past? That was because the area near Crescent Lake has a lot of water path dao marks and refinement path dao marks.”</p>
<p>“My previous self always used the killer move, immortal tribulation tempering aperture, to deal with calamities and tribulations. Most often, water path and refinement path calamities would occur. After passing them, the immortal aperture would gain water path and refinement path dao marks.”</p>
<p>“A hundred and eighty thousand years ago, Lang Ya blessed land had no seas. But now, look at this vast ocean, the huge landmass has been reduced to three continents. This is the effect of a huge number of water path dao marks!”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan heard of this and thought about Spectral Soul using the myriad tribulations to refine the sovereign immortal fetus Gu.</p>
<p>“This killer move, immortal tribulation tempering aperture, is very similar in concept to Spectral Soul’s method. No, Shadow Sect had spies inside Lang Ya blessed land, maybe Spectral Soul’s method originated from immortal tribulation tempering aperture?”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan guessed correctly.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul Demon Venerable’s method was derived from the killer move immortal tribulation tempering aperture. But his methods were more refined, he used wisdom path to deduce the type of tribulations before making additional preparations.</p>
<p>It was not like this immortal tribulation tempering aperture, it could only influence calamities and tribulations, there was a chance of failure. In the calamities and tribulations that Lang Ya blessed land went through, there were also fire path and lightning path tribulations, not all were water path and refinement path.</p>
<p>“Alright, you have Luo Po valley, Dang Hun Mountain, and wisdom Gu, I also have three true inheritances, we can do a one to one trade, which one do you want to exchange for?” Lang Ya land spirit asked.</p>
<p>This time, it was Fang Yuan’s turn to decide.</p>
<p>What should he choose?</p>

<h1>Chapter 1052</h1>
<p>Central Continent, Hu Immortal blessed land.</p>
<p>Fairy Zi Wei slowly opened her eyes.</p>
<p>She was adorned in a beautiful purple robe which could hardly conceal her graceful figure. Her eyes were like deep dark pools, with a sense of sorrow shrouding her face. Her skin was white as snow and her black hair hung down to her waist, her whole body was brimming with rank eight aura.</p>
<p>Letting out a breath, she withdrew her wisdom path killer move and descended from the air.</p>
<p>“Greetings to Ancestor Zi Wei.” On the ground, Feng Jin Huang, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly knelt down on the ground respectfully when she saw Fairy Zi Wei.</p>
<p>The corners of Fairy Zi Wei’s lips slightly curled up as she revealed a rare smile, the sadness on her face immediately faded and she seemed to blossom with radiance, giving off an immortal beauty that could move people’s souls.</p>
<p>“Huang Er, get up, no need to stand on ceremony. Speaking of it, your mother and I have some blood relation.”</p>
<p>From the looks of it, she was extremely pleased with this junior Feng Jin Huang.</p>
<p>Feng Jin Huang stood up with a reverential and admiring expression.</p>
<p>The person in front of her was a rank eight Gu Immortal!</p>
<p>In Feng Jin Huang’s mind, she did not dare to have extravagant hopes regarding the rank nine realm, rank eight was her lifelong dream. This Fairy Zi Wei in front of her originated from Spirit Affinity House, and had extremely high seniority in the sect. She had lived for at least one thousand six hundred years, she cultivated wisdom path and had joined Heavenly Court. She was dignified and beautiful, and it could be said she was everything Feng Jin Huang admired and was a realistic reference for the latter’s ideal goal.</p>
<p>“Ancestor Zi Wei, you have been deducing for three months in Hu Immortal blessed land, did you find anything?” Feng Jin Huang asked in curiosity.</p>
<p>Fairy Zi Wei gave a slight nod.</p>
<p>At this moment, she had already descended in front of Feng Jin Huang and was only a foot away from the ground, slowly floating in the air.</p>
<p>This was part of her personality, she had somewhat of an obsession towards cleanliness.</p>
<p>It was not necessary for her to speak about this to Feng Jin Huang, but Fairy Zi Wei still replied: “After these days of deductions, I am certain the original owner of Hu Immortal blessed land, Hu Immortal, was a member of the organization Defy.”</p>
<p>“Defy?!” Feng Jin Huang’s pupils shrank in surprise.</p>
<p>She might be a mortal but with parents who were famous Gu Immortals, she was aware of many secrets.</p>
<p>She had heard of this organization named Defy, it was a powerful undercover force of Central Continent, made from the secret alliance of some Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>The ten great ancient sects of Central Continent held the vast majority of resources and authority, controlling and suppressing other forces or lone cultivators.</p>
<p>Where there was suppression, there would be rebellion.</p>
<p>Organized forces rebelling against Central Continent’s ten great ancient sects were not few in number.</p>
<p>However, these forces usually did not last for long as they were either taken down by the ten great ancient sects or they disintegrated by themselves through internal discord.</p>
<p>However, this organization, Defy, was greatly hidden and was the force that had lasted the longest.</p>
<p>It was not that the ten great ancient sects had not targeted them, but there had been no effect. Most importantly, this organization was hidden truly deeply!</p>
<p>Even the members of the organization did not know the identities of other members and only used code names in numbers to address each other.</p>
<p>Right now, Feng Jin Huang suddenly heard Hu Immortal had been a member of Defy, she was truly surprised.</p>
<p>“On the surface, Hu Immortal was a lone immortal, and she obtained Dang Hun Mountain through fortuitous encounters and coincidence. Looking over it now, Defy was helping her from behind the scenes.” Fairy Zi Wei continued.</p>
<p>Feng Jin Huang’s eyes flashed, she recalled the scene when she was miserably defeated and under Fang Yuan’s feet, guessing: “Does that mean Fang Yuan is also a member of Defy? No wonder he appeared back then so coincidentally!”</p>
<p>Fairy Zi Wei, however, frowned slightly: “I attempted to deduce this, the result seems to be uncertain. But no matter what, Fang Yuan must have a deep connection with Defy. Huang Er, you have been avoiding contact with Hu Immortal land spirit and haven’t become the true owner of this blessed land, are you thinking of returning this blessed land to Fang Yuan?”</p>
<p>“Ancestor Zi Wei…” Cold sweat seeped out of Feng Jin Huang’s forehead.</p>
<p>Fairy Zi Wei smiled and reassured: “We are family, you don’t need to worry. I know Fang Yuan undoubtedly saved Feng Jiu Ge. Your father has stunning talents and is astonishingly gifted, he is someone who will leave a deep mark in history, what’s more, he repays kindness and hatred, he is loyal and righteous. I understand why he requested this of you.”</p>
<p>Feng Jin Huang quickly said: “Ancestor Zi Wei, you are magnanimous…”</p>
<p>Fairy Zi Wei waved her hand, stopping Feng Jin Huang’s words, speaking in a slightly meaningful tone: “But you need to remember, Fang Yuan is a wanted criminal listed on the Demon Judgment Board by Heavenly Court! Should you want to repay his kindness, you should not overdo it. In the future, I won’t stop you if you truly want to return Hu Immortal blessed land to him, I can even take responsibility for this. But that will be my bottom line, I hope that you two will not become too persistent and commit a huge mistake.”</p>
<p>Feng Jin Huang lowered her head: “I shall engrave your words in mind, ancestor.”</p>
<p>Fairy Zi Wei gave a slight nod before lightly flying to the sky.</p>
<p>As she flew, a gap opened up in Hu Immortal blessed land which connected to the outside world.</p>
<p>She then turned into a purple ray of light that flew out like a meteor, disappearing from Feng Jin Huang’s sight in an instant.</p>
<p>Fairy Zi Wei flew straight to Heavenly Court.</p>
<p>In Heavenly Court, halls stood tall and upright everywhere.</p>
<p>The purple ray of light Fairy Zi Wei had turned into cut through the air and entered a large hall.</p>
<p>Inside the hall, Fairy Zi Wei’s main body was sitting cross-legged on a mat, discussing with two other Heavenly Court Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>The purple light flickered as it landed on her hand.</p>
<p>It turned into a will, several Immortal Gu and a few beads of immortal essence.</p>
<p>The ‘Fairy Zi Wei’ who had been at Hu Immortal blessed land was merely a will of the main body!</p>
<p>This will send the results of the deductions to Fairy Zi Wei’s mind.</p>
<p>Fairy Zi Wei stored the Immortal Gu and immortal essence into her immortal aperture, she closed her eyes and went through the deduction results.</p>
<p>Several breaths of time later, she opened her deep, dark eyes and lightly said: “We have already found clues to Fang Yuan.”</p>
<p>An old Gu Immortal sitting in front of her, who was known as Myriad Tidal Dragon, smiled: “Fairy Zi Wei, you live up to your reputation of being a wisdom path great expert on the same level as Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord, you actually are able to use a will to deduce the crucial clues.”</p>
<p>The more a will thinks, the more it is consumed. Even Giant Sun Immortal Venerable’s special will left in Eighty-Eight True Yang Building had to hibernate to prevent expending itself due to thinking.</p>
<p>Fairy Zi Wei’s method, however, was mysterious and powerful.</p>
<p>She used only a will to deduce, and not only did she succeed, that portion of will was not consumed by even twenty percent.</p>
<p>Such an attainment was truly awe-inspiring.</p>
<p>Fairy Zi Wei’s main body had a slightly sorrowful expression, she did not comment on Myriad Tidal Dragon’s praise, continuing: “If Fang Yuan had not already been managing Hu Immortal blessed land for some time, I would not have been able to deduce any clues. Fang Yuan has a close connection to Defy, although I was not able to obtain Fang Yuan’s exact location, I know as long as we follow the clues and eliminate the core aspects of Defy, we will be able to find Fang Yuan.”</p>
<p>Myriad Tidal Dragon nodded: “Fang Yuan has Spring Autumn Cicada, he destroyed Imperial Court blessed land and has obtained inheritances of Red Lotus Demon Venerable, Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable and Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, he is also an otherworldly demon, and was actually able to survive the battle in Southern Border. Such a dangerous variable must be eliminated! But if we want to deal with him, we must first deal with Spring Autumn Cicada.”</p>
<p>“You can rest assured about this, after I woke up, I immediately made some preparations. I already successfully activated a killer move several days ago and have sealed Spring Autumn Cicada, it won’t be able to activate within three months of time.” The third Gu Immortal present in the hall spoke.</p>
<p>His voice was hoarse, he had a middle aged appearance with dark bags under his eyes and looked listless, giving others an impression of extreme fatigue.</p>
<p>However, Fairy Zi Wei and Myriad Tidal Dragon seemed to have confidence in him.</p>
<p>The latter smiled: “Since you, Wei Ling Yang, have made the move, then Spring Autumn Cicada is of no concern.”</p>
<p>Fairy Zi Wei spoke: “Then we shall go to Ming Tang valley to capture Gong Sun Liang.”</p>
<p>At the same time, in Central Continent, at the banks of Pot River.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie was standing at the riverbank, looking at the green willows and feeling the gentle breeze, however, he was feeling erratic inside.</p>
<p>After detouring around the collapsed area in Earth Abyss, he, along with Tai Bai Yun Sheng, Hei Lou Lan and Shi Nu had moved quite a distance before he could use a Gu formation to transport them to the eastern part of Central Continent.</p>
<p>This area was under the jurisdiction of Wind Cloud Manor, Ying Wu Xie had Fang Yuan’s body and as such, was a criminal wanted by Heavenly Court and Central Continent’s ten great ancient sects, however, he still risked staying here and even had been staying here for three days.</p>
<p>He was waiting for a person.</p>
<p>Which person was worth him taking such a huge risk?</p>
<p>A green shadow approached them while flying at low altitude.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie’s mind jolted, he went to welcome the person.</p>
<p>The green shadow landed on the ground and halted, it was not a real person but a puppet.</p>
<p>This puppet had a human figure with two hands and two legs, its body was also robust. But its whole body seemed to be knitted with green grass and rough vines, its head, shoulders and even its rear had green grass growing all over them, all spiking up like knives.</p>
<p>The green grass puppet looked at the Gu worm in Ying Wu Xie’s hand and recognizing he was its objective, it hummed with a haughty tone: “My master was invited to participate in Ancestor Kong Kong’s treasure appraisal event, so he could not come. If you want to see him, you will have to wait three more days.”</p>
<p>“Wait for three more days?” Ying Wu Xie’s expression slightly changed.</p>
<p>“What? If you don’t have the patience, you don’t need to wait, I will quickly go back to inform master.” The green grass puppet spoke indifferently.</p>
<p>“I will wait.” Ying Wu Xie hurriedly smiled, “I have already waited for three days, there is no harm in waiting three more days. It is just that three days later, it will be a whole six days. If I somehow am still unable to see your master, then I can only give up on this transaction.”</p>
<p>The green grass puppet snorted before turning around and leaving.</p>
<p>Several steps later, it lightly stomped on the ground, leaping to the air and turning once again into a green shadow.</p>
<p>After he left, Ying Wu Xie’s expression immediately sank, his gaze flickering incessantly as he gazed at the receding figure of the green grass puppet.</p>
<p>When the green puppet’s shadow was out of Ying Wu Xie’s vision, three Gu Immortals appeared from the surroundings, gathering towards Ying Wu Xie.</p>
<p>They were Tai Bai Yun Sheng, Hei Lou Lan and Shi Nu.</p>
<p>“That green grass puppet just now, is it the rumored grass puppet avatar?” Tai Bai Yun Sheng asked in curiosity.</p>
<p>“Right.” Ying Wu Xie nodded, “It is a grass puppet avatar, formed from the rank six grass puppet Gu with rank six battle strength. When Feng Chan Zi ascended to immortal, his grandfather, Old Man Bei Feng, gave this grass puppet Immortal Gu to him as a gift.”</p>
<p>“Feng Chan Zi is wildly arrogant, we waited so long for him and he isn’t even coming to meet us? He only sent a grass puppet avatar to meet us?” Hei Lou Lan was dissatisfied.</p>
<p>Shi Nu sighed, saying helplessly: “To refine Fixed Immortal Travel, we must have the light of the immemorial era, all Gu recipes of Fixed Immortal Travel revolves around this critical material. And the light of the immemorial era, such a rare Gu refinement material, is one of the treasures of Wind Cloud Manor. We have no choice but to put up with them.”</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie coldly snorted, but did not speak.</p>
<p>He wanted to rescue his main body, and to do that, he had to pass the regional wall. He was not like Fang Yuan, so Fixed Immortal Travel was almost a ‘necessary’ Gu to pass the regional wall.</p>
<p>Right now, he could only endure it.</p>
<p>He inwardly thought: “Spring Autumn Cicada has already been sealed, it seems Heavenly Court has begun to investigate me. I can’t stay for long in Central Continent, after I refine Fixed Immortal Travel, I need to hurry to Northern Plains and borrow luck from Longevity Heaven! Perhaps I can even make use of the power to conveniently get rid of Fang Yuan. Hmm? No, considering the time, tomorrow should be the day Fang Yuan has his earthly calamity. The earthly calamity of sovereign immortal aperture won’t be easy to pass. Heaven’s will cannot affect Fang Yuan, but can still make arrangements to deal with him. Most likely, not only will there be calamities and tribulations, there could also be human disasters.”</p>

<h1>Chapter 1053</h1>
<p>“To think that I am back here again.” Fang Yuan sighed internally, he stopped flying as he descended from the sky.</p>
<p>All he saw was white.</p>
<p>An icy land filled with snow.</p>
<p>Huff huff huff…</p>
<p>Harsh winds blew around him.</p>
<p>In this intense wind, countless snowflakes and even icicles were flying around.</p>
<p>Because of the blizzard, Fang Yuan’s vision was greatly hindered.</p>
<p>Because the temperature was very low, Fang Yuan had to use many Gu worms to maintain his body temperature, to defend himself from the cold winds.</p>
<p>This was still Northern Plains.</p>
<p>But the location was at the northernmost end of Northern Plains, it was known to people as the northern icy plain.</p>
<p>This place originally had a grassland, but because of a devastating battle by experts, the entire terrain was completely destroyed, turning into a void of complete nothingness.</p>
<p>After the battle, the victor, Reckless Savage Demon Venerable, turned into an immemorial desolate beast ice phoenix and breathed out absolute profound ice to freeze and restore this place.</p>
<p>Earlier, Hei Lou Lan chose this place to undergo her immortal ascension and become an immortal.</p>
<p>That was because the icy plain had Reckless Savage Demon Venerable’s true meaning in strength path and transformation path. When strength path or transformation path Gu Masters ascend here, there would be a resonance of dao marks, the strength path and transformation path true meaning would manifest using the earthly calamity.</p>
<p>When the person undergoing tribulation destroys the earthly calamity, they would receive the infusion of true meaning, it was the same as receiving Reckless Savage Demon Venerable’s guidance.</p>
<p>Memories flashed in Fang Yuan’s mind.</p>
<p>The image was so vivid, like it was yesterday.</p>
<p>But now, times were different.</p>
<p>Fairy Li Shan who had the highest cultivation level was dead, Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng had likely been forced to betray him, only Fang Yuan was left now.</p>
<p>His situation was very different from back then as well.</p>
<p>“Strength path and transformation path Gu Masters can only receive Reckless Savage Demon Venerable’s infusion of true meaning once, that is during their immortal ascension. But now, with the killer move immortal tribulation tempering aperture, I might be able to replicate it again.” Fang Yuan thought.</p>
<p>He had not done anything like this before, he was not very certain.</p>
<p>But after talking with Lang Ya land spirit, he realized that there was a high possibility of success.</p>
<p>“Hei Lou Lan had the Great Strength True Martial Physique, during her immortal ascension, the danger was huge, she lost her Immortal Gu to barely pass it. My immortal aperture’s calamity is probably far more terrifying than hers!”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan felt immense pressure.</p>
<p>If not for the situation, he would not want to undergo tribulation so early.</p>
<p>Although once in a while, calamities and tribulations would occur in the immortal aperture, Gu Immortals had many methods to deal with them, the most common were time path methods to delay the rate of time of the immortal aperture, to stall the arrival of the calamities and tribulations.</p>
<p>But this way, the resources inside the immortal aperture would greatly diminish in production.</p>
<p>The gains and losses had to be assessed according to the Gu Immortal’s situation.</p>
<p>Lang Ya blessed land had once used time path methods and modified the tributary of the River of Time in the immortal aperture, thus, the time in the immortal aperture was greatly slowed.</p>
<p>But this method was not from Lang Ya land spirit. In the past, Long Hair Ancestor had requested the help of a time path great expert.</p>
<p>“I have too large of a tributary of the River of Time in this immortal aperture, I have to undergo tribulation every two months in the outside world. Even though my cultivation level rises quickly, and the resources in the immortal aperture grow rapidly, if I cannot endure the calamities and tribulations and die, it would be for nothing. After this calamity, I need to find some time path methods to modify the tributary of the River of Time in my immortal aperture.”</p>
<p>These were all matters for the future, the important thing now was the impending calamity.</p>
<p>“Huff!”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan let out a breath as his body shook, a mystical change was occurring in his immortal aperture.</p>
<p>“Immortal aperture, fall here!” Fang Yuan gritted his teeth, a mystical light shone in his eyes.</p>
<p>Following a loud sound, his vision changed, taking a glance, he was already inside his immortal aperture.</p>
<p>Five regions, nine heavens.</p>
<p>It was vast and empty.</p>
<p>There were no cultivation resources, because Fang Yuan had not started managing it yet.</p>
<p>Only all sorts of Gu worms were placed in here.</p>
<p>At this moment, these Gu worms were flying around Fang Yuan, they were huge in quantity, resembling a giant black cloud.</p>
<p>Normally speaking, the immortal aperture was inside the Gu Immortal’s body. But now, the immortal aperture was placed in the outside world, and the Gu Immortal’s body was drawn inside.</p>
<p>At this moment, the situation with Fang Yuan’s body was like that of a land spirit, he could move freely inside the immortal aperture, but he could not leave. And the immortal aperture itself could connect to the heaven and earth qi outside and stabilize itself.</p>
<p>When Gu Immortals undergo tribulation, they would normally place their immortal apertures in the outside world.</p>
<p>There was another situation, that was when Gu Immortal’s immortal aperture had too many resources, if the heaven and earth qi inside were too limited in quantity, they would need to place the immortal aperture to take in and replenish the heaven and earth qi.</p>
<p>On the spot that Fang Yuan was originally standing, he had already disappeared. The immortal aperture was placed on the ice and entered a point in space, it could not be seen as it was linked to the empty space.</p>
<p>The blizzard was still blowing.</p>
<p>There were no changes, as if Fang Yuan had never come.</p>
<p>Everything was as per normal.</p>
<p>But at the next moment, when Fang Yuan opened the entrance of the immortal aperture, everything changed.</p>
<p>In an instant, the entire surroundings rumbled, the glaciers shook, endless heaven and earth qi rushed into the immortal aperture through the entrance.</p>
<p>Soon, a vast amount of heaven and earth qi engulfed the place.</p>
<p>Blizzards and hail were converted into pure heaven and earth qi.</p>
<p>The entrance of the immortal aperture was connected to the outside world. By opening it, Fang Yuan’s immortal aperture started to connect to the outside world, drawing in heaven and earth qi continuously.</p>
<p>It was like a giant monster lurking in the sea, emerging out of the water and opening its mouth to suck in air.</p>
<p>The vast amount of heaven and earth qi rushed in, causing a tremor in the entire immortal aperture, but the magnitude was so small normal people could not notice it.</p>
<p>At the same time, the tributary of the River of Time started to fuse with the River of Time of the outside world. The rate of time of the immortal aperture thus slowed greatly.</p>
<p>When immortal apertures were placed outside, the rate of time inside would greatly decrease, converging towards the five regions’ time.</p>
<p>Lang Ya blessed land itself was modified by a time path Gu Immortal, and was also placed in the five regions, the rate of time inside was very close to that of the five regions.</p>
<p>Many Gu Immortals would also choose to place their immortal apertures outside and hide inside the immortal aperture in consideration of their lifespan.</p>
<p>Out of nowhere, a sensation informed Fang Yuan that the calamity was coming.</p>
<p>But because the immortal aperture was placed outside and time slowed down, Fang Yuan could clearly sense that the calamity was approaching at a ‘slower’ rate.</p>
<p>This was normal.</p>
<p>Every Gu Immortals would feel this whenever they had calamities and tribulations.</p>
<p>It was like the premonition of an earthquake, animals would growl and go berserk, it was the signifying of an apocalypse.</p>
<p>Heaven and earth qi continued to gush in at a slower rate, the waterfall at the start had become a large river, in just a short while, it turned into a stream.</p>
<p>The ‘appetite’ of the immortal aperture was limited.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was calm.</p>
<p>He had rich experience, after seeing the heaven and earth qi, he started to organize his Gu worms.</p>
<p>Most of the Gu worms in the immortal aperture had already been arranged, the important thing was regarding the outside world.</p>
<p>A vast number of Gu worms flew outside of the entrance like swarms of bees.</p>
<p>Even though Fang Yuan could not leave, the Gu worms could.</p>
<p>Next, he controlled the Gu worms and set up arrangements.</p>
<p>In a few minutes, the arrangements were completed, Fang Yuan did not hesitate as he injected his immortal essence, activating the Gu worms.</p>
<p>Immortal Gu flew up one by one, shining with bright lights while floating in the sky.</p>
<p>The lights weaved together, eventually resonating with the Gu worms in the outside world.</p>
<p>Finally, a huge blue colored image was formed, it engulfed the immortal aperture and even expanded into the outside world, covering a huge surrounding area of the icy plain.</p>
<p>Immortal killer move — Immortal Tribulation Tempering Aperture!</p>
<p>Large amounts of immortal essence were expended, over ten thousand were used, but it was just the start!</p>
<p>The core Immortal Gu of this killer move were mostly rank seven, Fang Yuan’s green grape immortal essence were consumed rapidly.</p>
<p>Thankfully, he had already obtained a large amount of immortal essence stones from Lang Ya land spirit, he even borrowed Heavenly Essence Treasure Imperial Lotus.</p>
<p>Fifteen minutes later, the killer move was completed, and Fang Yuan’s immortal essence was consumed by sixty percent.</p>
<p>“This expenditure has greatly exceeded the number that Lang Ya land spirit said. But he also mentioned that the expenditure was dependent on the immortal aperture’s world itself, changing accordingly.”</p>
<p>Before undergoing the tribulation, Fang Yuan had already consumed more than half of his immortal essence.</p>
<p>However, he had already negotiated with Lang Ya land spirit, he could rapidly borrow immortal essence stones if needed.</p>
<p>In this tribulation, Lang Ya blessed land was Fang Yuan’s greatest backer.</p>
<p>But it was inappropriate to borrow now, Lang Ya land spirit would feel suspicious. They had already prepared enough moving perspective cup Gu to transport things during the tribulation. As for what the calamity would be, it was unknown.</p>
<p>He felt that the calamity was close.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan collected his Gu worms, he closed the entrance and waited in the immortal aperture patiently.</p>
<p>During this period, he checked his Gu worms again.</p>
<p>An hour later, the calamity descended.</p>
<p>The immortal aperture started to shake, heaven and earth qi appeared from every direction.</p>
<p>This was the heaven and earth qi inside the immortal aperture, in an instant, heaven and earth qi clashed as a blizzard formed.</p>
<p>Snow was moving wildly as fierce winds flew, in an instant, the immortal aperture turned into an icy world.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan saw this and was overjoyed: “Did the immortal tribulation tempering aperture method work?”</p>
<p>Whoosh whoosh whoosh!</p>
<p>The blizzard rampaged in the immortal aperture, snow monsters formed in the blizzard one after another.</p>
<p>“Snow monster calamity? Slash!” Fang Yuan muttered internally, floating in the air as Gu worms flew around him, forming a defensive barrier, he shot out flying sword Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>Swoosh.</p>
<p>Flying sword Gu pierced through a snow monster’s head, coming out from the back.</p>
<p>In an instant, it flew back to Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>The snow monster cried out, the injuries in its head healed on its own as it continued to charge at Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Snow monsters were like mud monsters and cloud beasts, if their core was not destroyed, they were hard to kill, all of these were problematic opponents.</p>
<p>Flying sword Gu alone could not be effective.</p>
<p>“But what I am using now is a sword path killer move.” Fang Yuan smiled coldly.</p>
<p>The snow monster ran for a few steps before growling, its core had been destroyed, as if its bones had melted, the snow monster broke down and became a pile of snow.</p>
<p>Sword path killer move — Sword Marks Targeting Death!</p>

<h1>Chapter 1054</h1>
<p>Fang Yuan was someone who learned from his mistakes, while traveling to Northern Plains, he encountered the mud monster and cloud beasts, suffering great losses because of them. Now that he was undergoing tribulation, how could he not fix this weakness?</p>
<p>Speaking of which, there was a complicated story behind the immortal killer move sword marks targeting death.</p>
<p>When Fang Yuan entered Lang Ya blessed land, he healed himself while seeking help from Lang Ya land spirit to reverse refine flying sword Immortal Gu and the other rank seven Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>He was a rank six Gu Immortal now, it was very hard for him to use rank seven Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit was very straightforward, because Fang Yuan was a member of Lang Ya Sect, as an external supreme elder, he was one of them, he gave good advice.</p>
<p>“I can obviously reverse refine these Immortal Gu. And to reverse refine them from rank seven to rank six will be much easier than promoting them to rank seven from rank six. But don’t you find it a waste? Most importantly, reverse refinement would take quite some time, your tribulation is nearing, there is little time. If you start the reverse refinement now, it will not be done in time. You might as well use this killer move.”</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit said this as he handed the killer move, sword marks targeting death, to Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>“You are very lucky, this killer move was bought by my previous self, it is suitable for many sword path Immortal Gu to use.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan felt strange when he heard that, Long Hair Ancestor was purely a refinement path Gu Immortal, why would the land spirit purchase a sword path killer move that he could not use?</p>
<p>But after looking at it, he understood why.</p>
<p>As it turned out, sword marks targeting death was a killer move that permanently expended the dao marks in the sword path Immortal Gu to carve them on the target. After the sword path Immortal Gu flies away, the sword path dao marks would find the target’s weak spot and attack it.</p>
<p>Like earlier, Fang Yuan used flying sword Immortal Gu as the core to use sword marks targeting death and pierced the desolate beast snow monster. This attack was not fatal, the wound caused by the Immortal Gu healed quickly. But the dao marks it left behind were still in the snow monster’s body, it attacked its hidden core and once broken, the snow monster suffered a fatal blow and died.</p>
<p>This way, flying sword Immortal Gu could kill targets like snow monsters, it no longer worked with little effect against these enemies.</p>
<p>But this killer move had a huge drawback.</p>
<p>That was the permanent expenditure of the Immortal Gu’s dao marks.</p>
<p>Immortal Gu were large fragments of the Great Dao, the product of countless dao marks. The higher the rank of the Immortal Gu, the larger the fragment of the Great Dao, and the higher the number of dao marks.</p>
<p>The more sword marks targeting death was used, the fewer the dao marks in the sword path Immortal Gu, they could not be recovered. This way, the Immortal Gu would get weaker and weaker. At a certain point, a qualitative change would occur, and the rank six Immortal Gu would turn back into a mortal Gu, or the rank seven Immortal Gu would become a rank six.</p>
<p>This weakness was severe, it made sword marks targeting death an unfavored killer move.</p>
<p>The previous Lang Ya land spirit bought this killer move for a low price because he was interested in the killer move itself.</p>
<p>In fact, every usage of the sword path killer move sword marks targeting death was akin to reverse refining the Immortal Gu. Except that the reverse refinement was very minute, a large number of usages were needed to produce a clear effect.</p>
<p>Once Fang Yuan understood this, he knew why Lang Ya land spirit had bought this killer move.</p>
<p>The previous Lang Ya land spirit’s favorite interest was to refine Gu.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan thought over it and accepted this sword path killer move.</p>
<p>Without question, this killer move was extremely suitable for him now.</p>
<p>Winds howled as snow blew around.</p>
<p>Sword light entered the blizzard, the blizzard could not block the sharp sword light, it was easily pierced.</p>
<p>The sword light drew a beautiful arc in the sky, it hit a desolate beast snow monster’s chest, before flying out from its back, turning around and flying back to Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>The injuries healed quickly, the desolate beast snow monster laughed, it was about to move when its body scattered, turning into a pile of snow.</p>
<p>In a breath’s time, dozens of small snow monsters came out of this pile.</p>
<p>But these snow monsters were only ten or twenty feet tall, they were not a problem.</p>
<p>Another sword marks targeting death!</p>
<p>This move was very effective, desolate beast snow monsters were destroyed in just one hit.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan nodded in satisfaction.</p>
<p>At this point, he finally experienced one of the advantages of sword path.</p>
<p>“When Gu Masters cultivate, they use Gu, nurture Gu, and refine Gu, these are extremely profound and deep. It is still flying sword Immortal Gu, but I changed the method of usage and received an incredibly different result. Again!”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan used sword marks targeting death again.</p>
<p>In the blizzard, desolate beast snow monsters formed again, but they were quickly killed by Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>The strength of the snow monsters were related to their size.</p>
<p>Ten or twenty feet tall snow monsters could be dealt with by rank one or two Gu Masters. Sixty feet tall snow monsters were desolate beasts, they were on par with rank six Gu Immortals. Seventy feet tall snow monsters were equal to rank seven Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>These sixty feet tall snow monsters were all killed by Fang Yuan, they were easy targets.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s battle strength was raised greatly, back then in Hu Immortal blessed land, he had so much trouble facing the swamp crab, but now against an endless number of snow monsters, he could fight calmly and control the situation.</p>
<p>But Fang Yuan did not relax, he was staying vigilant.</p>
<p>“I am having an easy time because I am using the rank seven flying sword Immortal Gu to deal with desolate beast snow monsters, and also because sword marks targeting death is a powerful move that consumes dao marks. Furthermore, the swamp crab had brought over gruel mud Immortal Gu’s effect with it, while these snow monsters have no such Immortal Gu. Hmm?”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s expression focused.</p>
<p>He observed closely, after those desolate beast snow monsters died, the new, small snow monsters that were formed were growing in size.</p>
<p>Ten feet to twenty feet, twenty feet to thirty feet…</p>
<p>These snow monsters were growing stronger!</p>
<p>“If they are allowed to continue growing, would they become sixty feet desolate beast snow monsters?” Fang Yuan did not dare to be careless, he stopped using flying sword Immortal Gu, as he waved his hands, countless dark vortexes flew out.</p>
<p>Bam bam bam…</p>
<p>These black bullets rained down like a storm.</p>
<p>The snow monsters were instantly faced with a disaster, countless numbers died.</p>
<p>But soon, from these smaller snow monsters’ corpses, more of them spawned.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan killed dozens of snow monsters, but over a hundred came back up!</p>
<p>Fang Yuan saw this and frowned, he felt troubled.</p>
<p>But he observed carefully, although the snow monsters that came back were high in numbers, they were much smaller now.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had a guess, at his will, thousands of green wind blades flew out around his body, shooting out.</p>
<p>The wind blades arrived like a huge net, engulfing the countless snow monsters on the ground.</p>
<p>The desolate beast snow monsters were intact, but the small snow monsters were sliced into pieces.</p>
<p>At once, marks from the blades were on the ground as snow splattered.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan activated his investigative Gu, his eyes shined brightly as he observed the battlefield.</p>
<p>“As expected, once ten feet tall snow monsters die, they cannot produce more snow monsters.” After confirming his guess, he relaxed slightly.</p>
<p>Soon after, he had a flash of inspiration: “Is this because of the blizzard?”</p>
<p>Splitting his focus, he activated over a hundred mortal Gu in a few breaths’ time.</p>
<p>A domain of darkness formed from under his feet, creating a dark veil.</p>
<p>This was Gu Immortal Hei Cheng’s battlefield killer move — Dark Veil.</p>
<p>The immortal aperture could not normally have battlefield killer moves inside. This was because battlefield killer moves had dao marks, they changed the environment, they clashed with the immortal aperture’s own dao marks and would result in damage.</p>
<p>But the battlefield killer moves here referred to immortal battlefield killer moves. Fang Yuan’s dark veil was mortal level, it was not problematic.</p>
<p>He also had Xue Song Zi’s mortal battlefield killer move, snow domain, but if he used it, it would increase the strength of the snow monsters, it was inappropriate.</p>
<p>Once dark veil was used, the surrounding blizzard weakened.</p>
<p>As expected, the small snow monsters started growing at a slower speed.</p>
<p>But this did not last, the blizzard seemed to have been enraged, it rampaged more fiercely, as the snow moved rapidly, dark veil was being compressed, it shrunk to Fang Yuan’s feet before completely collapsing with a loud sound.</p>
<p>Only twenty percent of the hundred Gu worms that made up dark veil survived, they were retrieved by Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>“Desolate beast snow monsters appear continuously, and small snow monsters appear from their corpses, they would also become stronger at an unthinkable speed due to the blizzard. It is counterproductive to try and isolate the blizzard. Now it seems, I can only get rid of the small snow monsters as well as the desolate beast snow monsters…” Fang Yuan concluded.</p>
<p>He did not guess wrongly.</p>
<p>This calamity was very powerful.</p>
<p>This was only sovereign immortal aperture’s first calamity, but it had greatly exceeded Hu Immortal blessed land’s fifth (blue charm lightning shadow), sixth (swamp crab), and seventh (blood poison kerria flowers) earthly calamities.</p>
<p>His immortal essence was continuously expended.</p>
<p>As he concentrated deeply, his mind was feeling fatigue.</p>
<p>But Fang Yuan was also getting more familiar with using the killer move sword marks targeting death.</p>
<p>Time passed.</p>
<p>The heaven and earth qi in the immortal aperture continued to rumble, the blizzard formed also was growing immensely.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s expression was grim.</p>
<p>He noticed that this earthly calamity was not only huge, it was going to last a long time, it was far stronger than the ten great catastrophes!</p>
<p>Desolate beast snow monsters continued to increase in numbers, Fang Yuan’s sword marks targeting death could no longer kill them quickly enough.</p>
<p>The newly formed small snow monsters were large in numbers, Fang Yuan had to use mortal killer moves to kill them.</p>
<p>He was handling both matters at the same time, it was hard to manage them.</p>
<p>“Thankfully, these snow monsters cannot fly. I occupy the high ground, even though I need to deal with the blizzard, the initiative is still with me.”</p>
<p>The moment this thought flashed in Fang Yuan’s mind, the loud screech of an eagle entered Fang Yuan’s ears.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan raised his head and his expression turned dark, this was bad!</p>
<p>In the blizzard, iron crown eagles made from snow were forming.</p>
<p>An eagle flapped its wings, charging at Fang Yuan with a ferocious aura.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan quickly turned around, using sword marks targeting death to deal with the eagle.</p>
<p>But in a short time, three more iron crown eagles formed, flying in the air, encircling him.</p>
<p>His pressure increased, danger was approaching!</p>

<h1>Chapter 1055</h1>
<p>Three iron crown eagles charged at Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Sword marks targeting death!</p>
<p>Fang Yuan internally gasped, to think that at the crucial moment, this had happened.</p>
<p>As the activation of the killer move failed, the backlash caused blood to flow down from the corner of his mouth.</p>
<p>After all, he had owned this sword path killer move for too short of a time. In an emergency, when he was not focused, the failure rate of activation would surge.</p>
<p>An eagle screech resounded, it could burst eardrums.</p>
<p>The iron crown eagle in front of him pounced.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan quickly dodged, a phantom image behind him flickered as light illusion bat wings appeared, dodging the eagle’s attack.</p>
<p>But the shield of wind around him was already broken, the iron crown eagle’s claws tore through it in a moment.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan squinted, he decided to use sword marks targeting death again, and he succeeded!</p>
<p>The sword light was extremely sharp, it easily pierced the iron crown eagle’s back, and continued to shoot out.</p>
<p>Suddenly, cold winds blew behind him as Fang Yuan’s heart skipped a beat, he had no time to think further, he used sword escape Immortal Gu immediately.</p>
<p>Swoosh, he shot out like an arrow, piercing the sky, by rising in altitude, he narrowly avoided the attack of the iron crown eagle behind him.</p>
<p>He temporarily escaped danger, Fang Yuan stopped using Sword Escape.</p>
<p>Sword escape Immortal Gu flew straight, it was extremely fast, Fang Yuan flew into the sky and was more than ten li away from the iron crown eagle.</p>
<p>Letting out a breath, Fang Yuan’s heartbeat returned to normal.</p>
<p>After regaining his composure, he willed and summoned flying sword Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>Earlier, he could not recall Flying Sword as it had flown away after piercing the iron crown eagle. There was more than ten breaths of time needed for it to return to Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>As for the iron crown eagle which got pierced, it cried out pitifully as it crashed towards the ground.</p>
<p>Before landing on the ground, its entire body turned into a big mushy pile of snow and ice, scattering.</p>
<p>The remaining two iron crown eagles charged to kill Fang Yuan from left and right respectively, as the blizzard roared.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was unwilling to face them head on, he used Sword Escape and retreated.</p>
<p>Even though his body was superb, it was not as tough as his immortal zombie body.</p>
<p>Sword path was good in offense while weak in defense.</p>
<p>Sword escape Immortal Gu allowed Fang Yuan to fly like an arrow, tearing through the sky as he pulled away from the iron crown eagles, the effect was immediate.</p>
<p>Even flying sword Immortal Gu was not as fast as Fang Yuan!</p>
<p>Fang Yuan flew in a circle in the sky before converging with flying sword Immortal Gu, retrieving it.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan held flying sword Immortal Gu in his hand as he injected immortal essence into it, at the same time, he mobilized his Gu worms and activated more than a hundred supplementary Gu worms, a profound light was created as it entered flying sword Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>The two iron crown eagles were coincidentally chasing him with one in front of the other.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan stretched out his fingers, he felt a small tremor in his hand as flying sword Gu flew out, it turned into an astonishing sword light, it seemed to have the power to pierce the universe!</p>
<p>Flying sword Immortal Gu and the iron crown eagles rapidly approached each other. In the blink of the eye, flying sword Immortal Gu flew through the first iron crown eagle and proceeded to pierce the second one without any loss in momentum.</p>
<p>Two birds with one stone!</p>
<p>The iron crown eagle in front flew for a moment before breaking apart.</p>
<p>The one behind was still intact, it continued to fly towards Fang Yuan, as if it had an immense grudge against him.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was about to take back flying sword Immortal Gu when his mind shuddered!</p>
<p>Out of nowhere, a burst of true meaning was entering his mind, Fang Yuan’s brows raised, he could not conceal his joy.</p>
<p>“This is Reckless Savage’s infusion of true meaning! It seems that my original guess was not wrong, it succeeded!”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was purposely undergoing tribulation in the icy plain, it was for the true meaning of Reckless Savage.</p>
<p>Because in historical records, when strength path and transformation path Gu Masters undergo tribulation in the icy plain, they would receive an infusion of Reckless Savage’s true meaning, obtaining a growth in their attainment levels.</p>
<p>But this gift was only for Gu Masters when they ascended to immortal. After the Gu Master becomes an immortal, the calamities and tribulations happen in their immortal apertures, they would not receive any infusion of true meaning.</p>
<p>But after Fang Yuan obtained the killer move immortal tribulation tempering aperture, he wondered if this killer move would be able to cause the infusion of true meaning.</p>
<p>Earlier, when he killed the desolate beast snow monsters and small snow monsters, he did not receive any infusion of true meaning, he thought he was wrong. But after killing the iron crown eagle, there seemed to be an infusion of true meaning, although it was a dangerous situation, he could not confirm it.</p>
<p>Now, he could finally feel the infusion of true meaning.</p>
<p>A sense of understanding arose in him.</p>
<p>He seemed to have turned into an iron crown eagle, from birth, until its first flight, and until it soared the skies. He felt its wings flapping strongly, they had great strength. He clenched his fists like two claws of an iron crown eagle, he looked around, being able to see up to a gigantic distance away.</p>
<p>His strength path and transformation path attainment levels were rising.</p>
<p>And his flying attainment level was also rising slightly!</p>
<p>The infusion of true meaning was like the guidance of Reckless Savage Demon Venerable, without any withheld information.</p>
<p>Undeniably, the rise of attainment levels gave great benefits in all aspects.</p>
<p>If he trained normally, his attainment level might rise after decades or centuries. Other than dream realms, only something like the infusion of Reckless Savage’s true meaning here could raise the attainment level of someone so easily.</p>
<p>“In fact, dream realms themselves are the manifestations of emotions, obsessions and desires, they are the remains of countless wills. Once one succeeds in exploring a dream realm, their attainment level would rise, it is the same as breaking free from the obstruction of emotions in the dream realm, without losing oneself, one could extract true meaning from these scattered memories and gain a growth in attainment level.”</p>
<p>“Everything, in essence, is still true meaning infusion!”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s eyes flashed with bright light.</p>
<p>The iron crown eagle approached, but Fang Yuan easily dodged it.</p>
<p>There was only one iron crown eagle left, Fang Yuan created some distance from it and used sword marks targeting death to kill it without any mishaps.</p>
<p>Looking over his immortal essence, there was still some left.</p>
<p>Even though he used multiple sword path killer moves and rank seven Immortal Gu, Fang Yuan was well prepared, he was not as desperate as the time he was traveling.</p>
<p>He had not borrowed from Lang Ya land spirit yet.</p>
<p>Most of his resources were in fact spent on the killer move immortal tribulation tempering aperture!</p>
<p>There were no enemies in the sky now, Fang Yuan looked at the ground.</p>
<p>The snow monsters stood on the ground, raising their heads and growling at him.</p>
<p>“The number is higher now.” Fang Yuan frowned.</p>
<p>At the next moment, countless green wind blades and dark vortexes appeared out of nowhere, shooting down. Like surging waves of a river, he unleashed a terrifying attack that covered the entire area, engulfing all of the snow monsters.</p>
<p>Boom boom boom…</p>
<p>Explosions occurred continuously.</p>
<p>After dozens of breaths of time, Fang Yuan stopped attacking.</p>
<p>The huge number of snow monsters had decreased innumerably, the ground had a lot of empty space now, only the desolate beast snow monsters were still around, like dozens of huge pillars.</p>
<p>He had only used mortal methods, they were not threatened by them.</p>
<p>Huff huff huff.</p>
<p>Small sounds were produced, completely covered by the raging blizzard.</p>
<p>More small snow monsters emerged from the snow.</p>
<p>“It has only been such a short time, but these snow monsters are still persisting!” Fang Yuan felt this was quite a headache.</p>
<p>He could only use sword marks targeting death to kill the desolate beast snow monsters quickly. At the same time, he used mortal methods to kill the uncountable number of small snow monsters.</p>
<p>What made him feel strange was, no matter how many snow monsters he killed, be it desolate beasts or not, he received no true meaning of Reckless Savage.</p>
<p>“This earthly calamity is very strange, there aren’t records of it in history. But at its current strength, it has already surpassed Hei Lou Lan’s ascension.”</p>
<p>At this time, spirals formed in the blizzard, as a change occurred.</p>
<p>Cranes flew out of the spirals.</p>
<p>These cranes had pure white and clean feathers, they were graceful and had beautiful cries, they were desolate beast nine palace cranes.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan licked his lips, he charged forward with bloodthirsty intent.</p>
<p>After killing one, there was indeed an infusion of true meaning infusion, Fang Yuan felt very excited, his eyes were shining brightly.</p>
<p>Snow descended, wild winds blew, Fang Yuan engaged in combat with these nine palace cranes.</p>
<p>He moved around rapidly in all directions, he could maneuver agilely as he flew up and down.</p>
<p>At first, he fought alone against many enemies, he was pushed back and fell into a passive position.</p>
<p>But after killing a few nine palace cranes, he had more space to move around, he could retreat and advance more easily.</p>
<p>As his gains increased, he started to gain control of the situation, he had an easier time.</p>
<p>Nine of these nine palace cranes had appeared this time, they were three times the number of iron crown eagles, but they were still killed by Fang Yuan, it just took a longer time.</p>
<p>The results were gratifying.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan could feel his attainment level rising, he was improving again.</p>
<p>This type of feeling towards getting stronger was extremely intoxicating.</p>
<p>However, when Fang Yuan saw the uncountable number of snow monsters on the ground, his heart sank again.</p>
<p>Earlier, he was only fighting over a dozen desolate beast snow monsters, but now there were fifty to sixty of them!</p>
<p>And in the blizzard, more and more small snow monsters were appearing, while the desolate beast snow monsters were progressing to ancient desolate beast level.</p>
<p>This situation made Fang Yuan determined to stop it as soon as possible.</p>
<p>“In this situation, I can only use the third sword path killer move!”</p>
<p>Immortal killer move — Triple Layered Sword Wave.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan took in a deep breath, more than sixty percent of his concentration was on this, he activated more than five hundred mortal Gu at once, and even more supplementary Gu worms as time passed.</p>
<p>This killer move’s difficulty as well as the time needed to activate it were far higher than sword marks targeting death.</p>
<p>Thus, it could not be used extensively.</p>
<p>Finally, Fang Yuan took out wave sword Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>This Immortal Gu looked like either a blade or water at various times, it expanded in the air, soon resembling a blue circular wave of water, it surrounded the area all around it.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was about to attack the snow monsters, when at this time, a huge figure descended.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan raised his head and drew in a deep breath.</p>
<p>He saw that a giant ruin bat had formed and filled the sky, covering the surroundings!</p>
<p>“Oh no!” Fang Yuan’s heart jumped.</p>
<p>This ruin bat was huge, it was an ancient desolate beast, able to fight rank seven Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>At the same time, ruin bats were space path beasts, they had incredible destructive force if they rampaged in the immortal aperture, they could even shatter the walls of the immortal aperture!</p>

<h1>Chapter 1056</h1>
<p>“It is only my first earthly calamity, but there are so many desolate beast snow monsters, and even an ancient ruin bat…” Fang Yuan looked up with a bitter expression.</p>
<p>The ancient ruin bat was huge, it cast a shadow that loomed over Fang Yuan and countless snow monsters.</p>
<p>At once, the blizzard weakened.</p>
<p>The snow monsters stopped making cries and roars, they looked up at this ferocious beast in the sky.</p>
<p>“Before leaving Lang Ya blessed land, I had already used luck path killer moves to increase my luck. Since the tribulation, I have been using dog shit luck Immortal Gu continuously. My luck should have reduced the might of the earthly calamity already. Even so, this earthly calamity is still so incredibly powerful!”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan gritted his teeth, focusing his mind again.</p>
<p>The ancient ruin bat flew in the sky, its body was huge like a mountain, crashing down on Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>At once, aura was bursting out, the air was compressed as a strong pressure could be felt.</p>
<p>Sword path killer move — Triple Layered Sword Wave.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had no way to retreat, he could only face it and use the third sword path killer move.</p>
<p>Rumble!</p>
<p>A loud sound.</p>
<p>The sword waves around him started moving around, they rumbled as ripples appeared.</p>
<p>These waves were shining with a silvery white light, they were extremely sharp and had incredible offensive power.</p>
<p>The waves moved upwards in defiance of gravity, splitting apart in the air, as multiple gigantic waves crashed at the ancient ruin bat.</p>
<p>The ruin bat did not make a sound, it smashed these waves.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan pushed with a hand, swoosh, another huge wave was summoned.</p>
<p>This wave was larger than the first one, it filled the entire surroundings. There were many ripples at the edge of the wave, they were shining and emitting a dangerous aura.</p>
<p>Wherever the sword waves went, everything was cleansed, the blizzard was wiped out and even air shattered.</p>
<p>Evidently, this was an area of effect attack.</p>
<p>It used the rank seven wave sword Immortal Gu as the core, along with several water path Immortal Gu which were borrowed from Lang Ya land spirit by Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>The second sword wave crashed into the ruin bat.</p>
<p>The ruin bat, which was flying down, stopped moving for a moment, at the same time, it screeched out in pain.</p>
<p>The sword wave did not last long, after it receded, Fang Yuan could see that there were deep marks left by swords on the ancient ruin bat.</p>
<p>In normal situations, ruin bats would avoid danger and would retreat when they encountered danger that threatened their lives. But this ancient ruin bat was not a normal specimen, it was formed from the earthly calamity, after getting injured, it did not rest, it charged at Fang Yuan relentlessly.</p>
<p>The ruin bat was a space path beast, facing it, Fang Yuan’s sword escape Immortal Gu had little effect.</p>
<p>Because the space around Fang Yuan was affected by the ruin bat’s strength. One or two steps would take several hundred steps to travel in reality.</p>
<p>Simply dodging was a terrible idea. Even though the ruin bat flew slowly, its space path powers also restricted Fang Yuan’s speed.</p>
<p>The only way to resist was by eliminating the enemy, using offense against offense, that was the best plan!</p>
<p>Thankfully, triple layered sword wave could unleash three sword waves, its might grew with each wave.</p>
<p>The third wave!</p>
<p>The sword wave was ten meters tall, it crashed towards the ancient ruin bat with immense might, the sound of the moving wave filled the world. The ripples were sharp with sword light, even Fang Yuan, who was the user, felt his body shuddering, a feeling of chilliness inside him.</p>
<p>Boom!</p>
<p>The sword wave and the ruin bat collided.</p>
<p>The ancient ruin bat’s charge halted, it raised its head and cried out in utter pain.</p>
<p>The sword wave struck at its stomach, the wounds from earlier were hit again, its injuries were deepening. Finally, when the wave was about to run out of water, it pierced through the ancient ruin bat’s back.</p>
<p>Poof.</p>
<p>With a loud sound, a large amount of flesh and blood fell from the ancient ruin bat’s body.</p>
<p>After being cut by the third sword wave, the ancient ruin bat ‘slimmed down’, its huge body became much smaller.</p>
<p>The gigantic mountain which emitted an immense pressure had been lifted.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan felt his entire body relaxing. The space path power that was restricting him earlier had vanished.</p>
<p>The heavily injured ancient ruin bat crashed to the ground, after floating around like a kite with its strings cut.</p>
<p>With a huge sound, snow and ice were sent flying on impact.</p>
<p>“I killed it!” Fang Yuan was joyous, but his expression suddenly changed.</p>
<p>A huge amount of true meaning entered his mind, like a waterfall from the nine heavens.</p>
<p>This true meaning far surpassed the total gains from earlier.</p>
<p>In an instant, Fang Yuan’s state of mind was scattered.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan forgot himself, he was like a ruin bat, from birth to growing up, until his death. Flying in the sky, he tore through space, traveling freely in the huge world.</p>
<p>After a momentary daze, Fang Yuan jolted to awareness, his eyes, which were unfocused, gave off a sharp light.</p>
<p>“It seems that too much true meaning would be like a snake swallowing an elephant, I would overeat and have a risk of dying from bursting my stomach!” Realizing this, cold sweat dripped from Fang Yuan’s forehead.</p>
<p>Reckless Savage’s true meaning was good, it was the fastest way to raise one’s attainment level.</p>
<p>But there was a limit to everything in the world. Too much of a good thing would lead to harm.</p>
<p>With too much of Reckless Savage’s true meaning, the Gu Immortal’s consciousness would be destroyed. Thankfully, Fang Yuan had a wisdom path foundation and had defensive wisdom path Immortal Gu that he borrowed from Lang Ya land spirit.</p>
<p>Otherwise, Fang Yuan’s consciousness would be destroyed by the true meaning, after losing his senses, he might think he was truly a ruin bat that had died in the earthly calamity.</p>
<p>“I have little immortal essence left, thankfully, the ancient ruin bat is already dead…”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan floated in the sky, looking down.</p>
<p>After the ruin bat’s corpse landed on the ground, it turned into snow, breaking apart.</p>
<p>But there were a hundred desolate beast snow monsters on the ground, along with an uncountable number of small snow monsters, seventy feet tall ancient desolate beast snow monsters were starting to appear!</p>
<p>“Damn it, it has only been such a short time.” Seeing this, Fang Yuan felt terrible, he felt a strong sense of helplessness towards such a huge group of enemies.</p>
<p>“To clear up these snow monsters, I will need to borrow immortal essence stones from Lang Ya land spirit.” Fang Yuan was not willing to do it, he had already repaid the debt he owed to Lang Ya land spirit, but now he had no choice but to borrow again.</p>
<p>The blizzard which had weakened was getting stronger again.</p>
<p>Palm-sized snowflakes flew down from the sky. Raging winds rampaged wildly.</p>
<p>Two ancient ruin bats started to form in the blizzard.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s body shook, his expression was ashen as he cursed internally: “I might as well die, what sort of earthly calamity is this? Even heavenly tribulations are not this terrifying!”</p>
<p>This was of course, just a complaint to vent his emotions, Fang Yuan gritted his teeth, he shot out like an arrow, taking the initiative to attack!</p>
<p>The ancient ruin bat earlier had almost killed him already. If two appeared at the same time and attacked Fang Yuan, he could not win!</p>
<p>The earthly calamity’s power was starting to decline, it was going to end.</p>
<p>These two ancient ruin bats formed slowly, it could not compare to earlier.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan wanted to attack before these two ancient ruin bats finished forming.</p>
<p>But at this time, a new blizzard started to fall from the sky.</p>
<p>Several huge snowballs were directed towards him, they were like horse carriages, thankfully, Fang Yuan had quasi-grandmaster flying attainment, he dodged in time and was not hit.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan took a look, the perpetrators were the snow monsters on the ground.</p>
<p>After the nurturing of the blizzard, the ancient snow monsters had increased in numbers, growing rapidly, earlier there were only a few, now there were twenty-eight of them.</p>
<p>These ancient snow monsters clenched their fists as snowballs formed. After growling, they stretched their hands as the horse carriage-like snowballs shot up like meteors, towards Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s heart sank to rock bottom, these two ancient ruin bats were hard to deal with, and with these snowballs obstructing his movement, his plan would be delayed, by the time these two ancient ruin bats formed, Fang Yuan would fail this tribulation for sure!</p>
<p>Just as Fang Yuan was in a dangerous situation while undergoing tribulation in his immortal aperture, someone else was also undergoing tribulation in the icy plain.</p>
<p>This was a Gu Master’s immortal ascension, the heaven and earth qi was turning into the tribulation.</p>
<p>“Master, save me!” The Gu Master cried out, facing the attack of the frost lightning, he could not retaliate, he could only watch as death descended.</p>
<p>Bam.</p>
<p>A soft sound echoed.</p>
<p>At the crucial moment, a figure stood in front of the Gu Master undergoing tribulation.</p>
<p>The frost lightning that was unstoppable against the Gu Master was fragile as paper in front of this person.</p>
<p>The frost lightning appeared and disappeared just as quickly.</p>
<p>It was useless, it could not even touch that person’s clothing.</p>
<p>“Master’s cultivation level is so high!” The Gu Master sighed. Ever since the tribulation started, he had been sighing and feeling shocked, he was almost numb now.</p>
<p>“This is only the flying frost jumping lightning tribulation, it is not even one of the ten great catastrophes.” Gu Immortal Chu Du was expressionless, he felt regret looking at the lingering frost lightning.</p>
<p>“Master, from your words, you are not happy with the intensity of the tribulation?” The Gu Master asked.</p>
<p>Chu Du answered plainly: “When Gu Masters ascend, they draw in heaven and earth qi, during this process, they would mingle with heaven’s will. If they ask any questions regarding cultivation, heaven’s will would give them an answer. This is also known as natural inspiration.”</p>
<p>“But in the northern icy plain, when strength path Gu Masters undergo immortal ascension, they would trigger Reckless Savage’s true meaning. Because of this, the Gu Master does not interact with heaven’s will, instead, they will mingle with Reckless Savage’s true meaning, and their strength path and transformation path attainment levels will rise sharply.”</p>
<p>“The stronger the tribulation, the higher the quantity of Reckless Savage’s true meaning gathered. I nurtured all of you disciples because I want the true meaning of Reckless Savage during your ascension. Obtaining the true meaning would allow my strength path attainment level to rise.”</p>
<p>“So that’s it.” The Gu Master realized: “So this is what master meant regarding the need for my help when you made me your disciple back then?”</p>
<p>Chu Du was about to speak when a huge sound from a great distance was heard.</p>
<p>“Hmm?” Chu Du looked, he saw that far away, space was cracked, like a broken mirror, the scene of Fang Yuan fighting with the ancient ruin bats in his immortal aperture could be seen.</p>
<p>“This?!” Chu Du’s body shook, his eyes were shining immediately.</p>

<h1>Chapter 1057</h1>
<p>Chu Du.</p>
<p>Known as Domination Immortal, a legendary person in Northern Plains’ Gu Immortal world!</p>
<p>He was born in a poor family, he was not of the Huang Jin bloodline, he had a lowly start, even his aperture awakening was by chance. Without any teachers or tribesmen to help him, he cultivated alone. He cultivated strength path, but was not restrained by the flaws of it. With his overwhelming talent, he independently created jin strength Gu, strength of ten jin Gu, jun strength Gu, strength of ten jun Gu and others.</p>
<p>Using these Gu worms, he grew step by step, under everyone’s shocked gazes, he turned from a mortal to an immortal.</p>
<p>But this was not the end of his legend, when he became a Gu Immortal, he went back to his roots and created the human jun strength branch.</p>
<p>This small branch gave the dying strength path a surge of rejuvenation, it was as if vitality had filled dying trees, strength path shined again in a different light.</p>
<p>After the beast strength phantom branch and atmospheric heaven and earth branch, it was recognized by everyone that strength path had a new human jun strength branch.</p>
<p>With his efforts alone, he changed the future of strength path.</p>
<p>Nobody could deny his grand achievement.</p>
<p>Now, nine out of ten Northern Plains Gu Masters cultivated strength path on the side, they mostly used the human jun strength branch.</p>
<p>Destiny was a mystical thing, nobody could decipher it.</p>
<p>Be it Chu Du or Fang Yuan, they had never thought that they would meet in such a situation.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was undergoing tribulation, because of the ancient ruin bat’s power, his immortal aperture’s walls were shattered, connecting to the outside world.</p>
<p>And Chu Du was assisting his disciple in his immortal ascension tribulation, absorbing the true meaning of Reckless Savage.</p>
<p>The northern icy plain was so huge, but these two people chose their tribulation location so closely.</p>
<p>Both of their eyes made contact over the distance in an instant!</p>
<p>Chu Du had just destroyed his disciples tribulation, one of his hands was behind his back, while the other was toying with the frost lightning, he was calm and composed.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was wearing a white robe, he had a sharp gaze, his body was injured, battle intent rose in him like he was a divine sword, the sharpness in him made even Chu Du frown.</p>
<p>“Someone is undergoing tribulation here, what is going on? The ancient ruin bat inside has Reckless Savage’s true meaning, it manifested using the tribulation. This person has such an amazing method, he can replicate the immortal ascension and obtain Reckless Savage’s true meaning to improve himself!” Chu Du felt immense shock before it turned into joy.</p>
<p>“Domination Immortal Chu Du!” Fang Yuan was shocked: “This person is helping another person with his tribulation, he must be after Reckless Savage’s true meaning. Oh no, he saw what is going on here, he will definitely seek me!”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had obtained the killer move immortal tribulation tempering aperture from land spirit, this was a huge attraction to Domination Immortal Chu Du.</p>
<p>“As long as I can get his method, why would I need to bother with raising disciples for immortal ascension? I can undergo tribulations myself and draw in Reckless Savage’s true meaning, the tribulations would be stronger and I would obtain even more true meaning, that would be best! I must, I must get this method!!” Chu Du screamed in his mind, he shot towards Fang Yuan like a flash of lightning.</p>
<p>He was known as the Domination Immortal, in the past when he was rank six, an experienced lone immortal came to find trouble with him and was beaten to a pulp. The lone immortal called for reinforcements, but the three lone immortals were chased by the newly ascended Chu Du, he chased them for an enormous distance before killing all three immortals.</p>
<p>A hundred years later, Chu Du and a Gu Immortal of Liu tribe had a conflict, after a dozen rounds of fighting, the Liu tribe Gu Immortal lost and begged him for mercy, but Chu Du killed him without hesitation.</p>
<p>Next, Liu tribe sent out several Gu Immortals, Chu Du’s two fists could not rival four palms, he was outnumbered, he went into seclusion for decades. When he appeared again, he had rank seven cultivation level, he went around and destroyed eighteen of Liu tribe’s resource points in three days. Three of Liu tribe’s Gu Immortals chased after him, but he did not run away, instead, he forced the three Liu tribe Gu Immortals to retreat and even nearly attacked their headquarters.</p>
<p>Chu Du encircled Liu tribe’s blessed land and refused to leave. Liu tribe’s first supreme elder emerged outside in anger, fighting with Chu Du for a long time, he was an experienced rank seven expert, but he could not do anything to Chu Du. He could only let him leave freely.</p>
<p>After this battle, Chu Du’s reputation surged, the entire Gu Immortal world found out about his domineering style!</p>
<p>No Gu Immortal dared to look down on him. Those who tried to find trouble with him had to consider it thoroughly before acting.</p>
<p>But after this battle, Chu Du became very low profile, he cultivated in seclusion and rarely showed himself. It was only during the recent Northern Plains auction that he appeared in front of everyone.</p>
<p>Now, it seemed that in the past, Chu Du gained a huge growth in strength and defeated Liu tribe because of Reckless Savage’s true meaning.</p>
<p>He nurtured a few Gu Masters and helped them to ascend to immortal, his strength path attainment level reached grandmaster level, and he created his own immortal killer moves.</p>
<p>When the time was ripe, he took advantage of Liu tribe’s temporary weakness and challenged them, he not only took revenge for himself, he even created a fierce reputation.</p>
<p>These last years, he had been secluded, staying inside the northern icy plain, trying to excavate the huge treasure known as Reckless Savage’s true meaning.</p>
<p>Chu Du saw Fang Yuan, he not only wanted Fang Yuan’s method of drawing out Reckless Savage’s true meaning, he even had a feeling of unhappiness because his treasure was being taken by others.</p>
<p>Thus, he did not think too deeply, he attacked directly, he wanted to take down Fang Yuan and interrogate the method to lure out Reckless Savage’s true meaning.</p>
<p>Though the distance was great, it was nothing to Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>Their distance was shrinking rapidly.</p>
<p>“Huh?” Chu Du stretched out his right hand, pointing at Fang Yuan who was in the immortal aperture, but a sword light shot at him first.</p>
<p>He reacted quickly, but Fang Yuan was even faster!</p>
<p>Almost at the first instant, Fang Yuan used sword marks targeting death and shot out flying sword Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>Flying Sword pierced through the sky, shining in bright silvery light, Chu Du could not look at it directly.</p>
<p>Chu Du chuckled, he stretched out his right arm, grabbing at Flying Sword.</p>
<p>Boom!</p>
<p>An explosion caused the air to burst.</p>
<p>A huge strength path phantom in the form of Chu Du’s right hand squeezed the air, it was like a rampaging mountain, moving quickly and grabbing flying sword Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>Surprise flashed across Fang Yuan’s eyes.</p>
<p>Chu Du’s strength path phantom hand was very similar to his giant hand. But evidently, his strength path giant hand was not only stronger than Fang Yuan’s, it was even more agile.</p>
<p>Chu Du’s strength path giant hand moved together with his actual right hand.</p>
<p>After grabbing flying sword Immortal Gu, Chu Du clenched his fist and directly sealed flying sword Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan instantly felt that his connection to flying sword Immortal Gu weakened severely.</p>
<p>Chu Du frowned in an unnoticeable manner, he opened his clenched fist, he saw a trace of blood at the center of his palm.</p>
<p>It was the killer move sword marks targeting death’s effect.</p>
<p>“Interesting.” He commented lightly.</p>
<p>While he said that, the injury on his palm has already healed.</p>
<p>“Hand over the method and I will spare your life. Hmm?” Chu Du proclaimed but when he raised his head, his expression changed.</p>
<p>At the crucial moment, Fang Yuan chopped off the lower half of his body, he used a certain blood path killer move and refined his lower body into a pool of blood.</p>
<p>The blood fused into the immortal aperture’s gap and fixed the crack within space in an instant.</p>
<p>Chu Du quickly used his strength path giant hand to attack.</p>
<p>But it was a moment too late, he had lost his chance. The giant hand failed to hit anything, like a crashing meteor, it landed on the ground and formed a huge crater of over dozens of meters wide.</p>
<p>Chu Du flew to the spot where Fang Yuan placed his immortal aperture with a heavy expression. He did not have any method to break into the immortal aperture.</p>
<p>“Damn it! Why did I encounter Domination Immortal of all people?” Inside the immortal aperture, Fang Yuan only was left with his upper body, he floated in the air. His injuries were severe, his lower body had already been refined and used.</p>
<p>Intense pain did not affect Fang Yuan due to the use of Gu worms, faced with two ancient ruin bats, he kept his composure and calmness.</p>
<p>“I have to kill these two ruin bats as soon as possible!!” Fang Yuan gritted his teeth, his expression was ruthless.</p>
<p>Triple layered sword wave!</p>
<p>He used this killer move consecutively, the waves crashed against the ancient ruin bats.</p>
<p>Ugh!</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s seven orifices spurted blood, his head was dizzy, he was on the verge of fainting.</p>
<p>His head was hurting, triple layered sword wave was a killer move that used many Gu worms, it was not easy to activate. In order to use so many Gu worms, he had used up all of the thoughts in his mind, his brain was in a state of overuse.</p>
<p>And to protect his aperture walls, to prevent the ancient ruin bats from causing more destruction, Fang Yuan had to block all of the ancient ruin bats’ attacks desperately.</p>
<p>Seconds passed like years.</p>
<p>Every time he blocked an ancient ruin bat’s attack, Fang Yuan’s vision turned dark, he was uncertain about his capability regarding blocking the next attack.</p>
<p>He could not think of anything else, all of his newly produced thoughts were used to mobilize all of the Gu worms in his body.</p>
<p>Both sides were like warriors in a death match, they attacked with sharp weapons and stabbed their opponents continuously, whoever was unable to endure it would fall in defeat first.</p>
<p>After an unknown period of time, a gust of wind blew, clarity flashed in Fang Yuan’s dazed eyes.</p>
<p>“Did I succeed?” He looked up in the sky, at the falling ancient ruin bat as he muttered to himself.</p>
<p>Soon, the thoughts in his mind replenished amply, he could finally think again.</p>
<p>He finally killed one ancient ruin bat, there was still another left.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan licked his dry lips, his face was pale as paper, but it showed a distorted expression as he charged towards the ancient ruin bat again.</p>
<p>It was much easier for him this time.</p>
<p>Facing an ancient ruin bat alone, Fang Yuan felt much less pressure, the thoughts in his mind increased in number, he could think of more things, he could attack the ruin bat after making rational decisions in response.</p>
<p>But he did not dare to relax.</p>
<p>If another ancient ruin bat formed, it would be troublesome.</p>
<p>Even worse was if Domination Immortal Chu Du was allowed to come in, if that happened, Fang Yuan’s situation would be far worse, it might be even more terrifying than dying in the calamity.</p>
<p>But eventually, the heaven and earth qi calmed, and Fang Yuan succeeded in killing the third ancient ruin bat, no more ruin bats formed, and Chu Du was absent.</p>
<p>“The calamity has ended. I finally survived this!” Fang Yuan looked down weakly, this place had already turned into an icy field, countless desolate beast snow monsters were staring at him, growling as they showed ruthless expressions.</p>
<p>“Thankfully, my immortal aperture is big enough, there are no resources in here yet, I will let these snow monsters stay for now. They cannot break the aperture walls.” Fang Yuan flew up to the first layer of the heavens in the sky of his immortal aperture.</p>
<p>He was severely injured, he needed to recuperate.</p>
<p>While healing his injuries, he also needed to prepare for battle.</p>
<p>If Chu Du invaded this place, it would no laughing matter!</p>

<h1>Chapter 1058</h1>
<p>Three days later, inside the sovereign immortal aperture.</p>
<p>The sovereign immortal aperture was extremely huge, its layout was like the five regions and nine heavens.</p>
<p>After Fang Yuan succeeded in passing the tribulation, he had been staying inside the first layer of the nine heavens to heal.</p>
<p>At this moment, he was at a crucial moment of healing his injuries.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was submerged hundreds of feet under a lake of blood which filled a wide surrounding range.</p>
<p>He was gravely injured, it was a sad sight. His entire lower body was cut away, only his upper body was in the lake of blood.</p>
<p>The lake of blood was full of life force, it entered his huge injury continuously.</p>
<p>After three days, a blood-colored silhouette could be vaguely seen in the form of his legs and lower body.</p>
<p>Suddenly, Fang Yuan opened his eyes.</p>
<p>His eyes were blood red, the moment he opened them, it was as if lightning shined deeply inside the dark lake of blood.</p>
<p>“Blood path body refinement, restore my immortal body.” Fang Yuan cried out in his mind, countless thoughts were colliding.</p>
<p>Tens of thousands of mortal Gu were mobilized with thoughts, they shined with dazzling light.</p>
<p>These mortal Gu were placed in various parts of the blood lake.</p>
<p>Once connected, the entire dark lake of blood shined in a bright red light.</p>
<p>Gradually, the lights from these mortal Gu fused into one.</p>
<p>A rank six Immortal Gu emerged from Fang Yuan’s body, floating upwards.</p>
<p>This Gu resembled a round pearl, it was as large as a goose egg, the pearl had countless markings on it that were moving around, like the blooming of a field of lotuses, or the rumbling of clouds.</p>
<p>Blood path Immortal Gu — Blood Asset!</p>
<p>This Immortal Gu was not one known to Fang Yuan, this was a Gu innovated by the previous Lang Ya land spirit, he had created this using blood path Gu recipes he bought in treasure yellow heaven.</p>
<p>Blood asset Immortal Gu’s effect was to protect a portion of the immortal materials or Gu worms during refinement. If the refinement failed, some of these immortal materials or Gu worms could be restored afterwards using blood asset Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>Ever since he obtained this Immortal Gu, the previous Lang Ya land spirit had saved a huge amount of resources. The previous land spirit treasured this Immortal Gu deeply, he would not exchange it no matter what.</p>
<p>But after changing personalities, the new Lang Ya land spirit most wanted to promote the rise of hairy men, he did not have much interest in Gu refinement.</p>
<p>When transacting with Fang Yuan, blood asset Immortal Gu fell into Fang Yuan’s demonic clutches.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan obtained it and did not outwardly express any emotions, but he was overjoyed internally!</p>
<p>This Gu could only be used in refinement path in the hands of ordinary Gu Immortals. But Fang Yuan was a blood path grandmaster, not only could he display its full ability, he could also use it in a variety of ways that surpassed its original limits.</p>
<p>Like now.</p>
<p>Blood asset Immortal Gu caused the entire lake of blood to boil, like a volcano that was ready to erupt with molten magma underneath.</p>
<p>Gugugu…</p>
<p>Large numbers of bubbles floated to the surface of the lake.</p>
<p>Streams of life force gushed into blood asset Immortal Gu like sparrows returning to their nests.</p>
<p>Blood asset Immortal Gu floated above Fang Yuan’s head, it rapidly rotated, like an inexhaustible black hole, it drew away all of the vitality in the lake of blood.</p>
<p>Next, after purification, a stream of life force that could be seen with the naked eye, resembling translucent flowing water, poured into Fang Yuan’s body.</p>
<p>Crack crack.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s bones were cracking, it was a delightful sound. His withered flesh became enriched, inflating like a ball. The injuries on his skin vanished instantly. His long black hair grew out, covered in a layer of gloss.</p>
<p>Most important was the huge injury on Fang Yuan’s body.</p>
<p>The translucent blood-colored silhouette of his lower body started to gain physical form under the injection of vitality.</p>
<p>In the blink of an eye, Fang Yuan’s heavy injuries healed, his flesh recovered and he was whole again!</p>
<p>Whoosh!</p>
<p>Fang Yuan shot out of the lake of blood like an arrow, appearing in the air.</p>
<p>His consciousness swept around the area as he nodded in satisfaction: “This body created by sovereign immortal fetus Gu is truly profound and mystical. I have dao marks of every path, yet they don’t interfere with each other. Because of this, I can use healing methods of any path and display their full effect. If not, how could I recover from this terrible injury in only three days?”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan stretched out his arm, blood asset Immortal Gu shot out of the lake of blood like a meteor, into Fang Yuan’s hands.</p>
<p>Holding this Immortal Gu in front of him, Fang Yuan took a look of appreciation before placing it on his chest.</p>
<p>Blood asset Immortal Gu lived on Fang Yuan’s body, at his chest area, turning into a red pearl tattoo.</p>
<p>This type of storage was not safe. If Fang Yuan’s body was destroyed, blood asset Immortal Gu would also face destruction.</p>
<p>Immortal Gu were extremely fragile, even toddlers could kill rank nine Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>It was safest to keep it in the immortal aperture.</p>
<p>But now, Fang Yuan’s sovereign immortal aperture was still in the outside world, he could only do this, but as long as he was careful, there would be no issue.</p>
<p>“In the five hundred years of my previous life, I could not obtain a single blood path Immortal Gu even after a long search, I had no choice but to refine Spring Autumn Cicada. If I had this blood path Immortal Gu back then, I would have already achieved much more in life, even if the ten great ancient sects encircled me, I would be able to fight them confidently.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was not simply bragging.</p>
<p>In his previous life, he had battle strength at the peak of rank six, he had fought against two ordinary rank seven Gu Immortals and won.</p>
<p>Even though there were many reasons for the outcomes, like the terrain and other coincidences, defeating a rank seven as a rank six was truly an incredible feat!</p>
<p>Of course, compared to Bo Qing and Feng Jiu Ge, this was a very ordinary achievement. But the important thing was, Fang Yuan defeated the rank seven Gu Immortals without any Immortal Gu himself. He used blood path mortal Gu and mortal killer moves to defeat such strong foes!</p>
<p>During that time, Fang Yuan became an immortal using blood path, he not only created his own blood path mortal Gu, he even designed many blood path killer moves, they were either high in power, had mysterious effects, or were very bloodthirsty abilities…</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s blood path attainment level was grandmaster, he did not lack anything but a blood path Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>If he had it, he could quickly modify his mortal killer moves into countless immortal killer moves, his battle strength would surge immensely!</p>
<p>In his previous life, or even after rebirth, Fang Yuan did not obtain a single blood path Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>After rebirth, he advanced rapidly, taking huge risks and facing great challenges, because of all sorts of reasons, he did not obtain a single blood path Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>(Author’s Note: Actually, it was the influence of heaven’s will.)</p>
<p>Until recently, he finally obtained blood asset Immortal Gu from trading with Lang Ya land spirit.</p>
<p>Actually, Fang Yuan did not want to start his blood path cultivation so early. Any blood path Gu Immortal would be detected by Heavenly Court and be listed on the Demon Judgment Board. Blood path was very harmful, even demonic cultivators did not like them, everyone wanted to exterminate them.</p>
<p>When Fang Yuan obtained blood asset Immortal Gu, he thought: The less I use it, the better.</p>
<p>But situations were unpredictable.</p>
<p>During the tribulation, he encountered Domination Immortal Chu Du, his life was at stake, he had to use blood asset Immortal Gu to create the immortal killer move to seal the gap in the aperture wall.</p>
<p>When healing himself, Fang Yuan also used a blood path killer move. Only this healing technique could heal his injuries rapidly, and allow him to defend against the huge threat of Chu Du.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan did not want to ask for more help from Lang Ya land spirit, the more he exposed, the higher the chances of leaking information. Fang Yuan had reserved some information from Lang Ya land spirit, he concealed the biggest secret of sovereign immortal aperture.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was a blood path grandmaster, with his five hundred years of deep accumulation, it was easy to modify blood path mortal killer moves into immortal killer moves, it was a natural process. It was unlike Hei Lou Lan in the past, who faced so much difficulty in elevating self strength phantom to immortal level.</p>
<p>In fact, he had created many blood path Immortal Gu recipes in his previous life. But because his refinement path and wisdom path attainment levels were too low, he could not continue on those deductions, they were very incomplete.</p>
<p>After retrieving blood asset Immortal Gu, Fang Yuan thought to himself: “Three days have passed, Chu Du did not attack, it seems he has no methods to break into the immortal aperture.”</p>
<p>Three days ago, Fang Yuan paid a huge price of getting heavily injured to seal the aperture wall’s gap, causing Chu Du’s plan to fail.</p>
<p>If Chu Du had any methods, he would have used them already.</p>
<p>But three days had passed, even if some methods needed time for preparation, they would not take three days, thus, Fang Yuan surmised that Chu Du had no options.</p>
<p>This was not strange.</p>
<p>After an immortal aperture is placed in the Five Regions, as long as the entrance was not open, they would shrink into a tiny spot and be undetectable, outsiders could not break in.</p>
<p>Back then, when Immortal Crane Sect attacked Hu Immortal blessed land, they had to use Fang Zheng’s bloodline as a connection to use blood path methods in sensing where the blessed land was.</p>
<p>Chu Du was a strength path Gu Immortal, while methods to pierce into immortal apertures involved space path.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan guessed correctly, but he did not relax as a result.</p>
<p>Even though Chu Du could not break into the sovereign immortal aperture, he could stay behind and guard this area.</p>
<p>This was an expected situation.</p>
<p>Thinking from his perspective, as the strength path Gu Immortal Chu Du who wanted to obtain Reckless Savage’s true meaning desperately, would he ever give up such a huge opportunity?</p>
<p>In the past, when facing Liu tribe, a super force, Chu Du did not leave and stayed outside their headquarters, until Liu tribe’s first supreme elder fought with him! Fang Yuan was alone, how could he compare to Liu tribe? Even if he added in Lang Ya blessed land, it could not match Liu tribe. Those hairy man Gu Immortals had negligible battle strength.</p>
<p>Furthermore, even if Chu Du could not break the aperture walls, he could find others to help.</p>
<p>“It seems that I am trapped here for now. If I collect my immortal aperture and use Sword Escape, can I escape from Chu Du’s pursuit?”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan shook his head.</p>
<p>“Sword escape Immortal Gu might be fast, but it flies in a straight line. I would need to stop if I want to change directions, this is a major flaw. Against ordinary Gu Immortals, it would work, but against Domination Immortal, it is not enough. I need at least an immortal killer move.”</p>
<p>While thinking, Fang Yuan flew below the first layer of the heavens.</p>
<p>When he got to the part of the sky where he was undergoing tribulation, the snow monsters sensed Fang Yuan and growled at him, ancient snow monsters even raised their hands, throwing huge snowballs at him.</p>
<p>After sighing, Fang Yuan had no choice but to leave.</p>
<p>“The earthly calamity is over, but these snow monsters are still around. I have to ignore them for now, in any case, this immortal aperture has nothing for them to destroy.”</p>
<p>“I have sword escape Immortal Gu, but my sword path attainment level is too low. There is more hope in blood path methods. Next, I should modify mortal killer moves and create a blood path immortal killer move, using blood asset Immortal Gu as the core, for use in movement!”</p>

<h1>Chapter 1059</h1>
<p>Western Desert, on a certain trail.</p>
<p>“Kill, kill these bastards, the money is all ours!”</p>
<p>“Let’s rob them!!”</p>
<p>“Guards, defend us, if these goods are lost, the clan will not let us off!”</p>
<p>Sounds of fighting could be heard, around a sandy dune, a group of bandits and caravan members were fighting in an intense battle.</p>
<p>This bandit group had been committing crimes in the desert for a long time, they were all human Gu Masters, they were fierce and experienced in battle, they were quite strong.</p>
<p>In the merchant caravan, there were few humans, they were mostly feathermen.</p>
<p>A portion of this group of featherman Gu Masters were standing on the ground guarding the goods, while some were flying in the sky, fighting the bandits.</p>
<p>Waves of fiery attacks were unleashed, the temperature was rising, at times, wind blades were shot out, cutting the trail or directly into people, causing bloodshed.</p>
<p>Western Desert was flourishing with fire path and wind path Gu worms, Gu Masters of these two paths were most common.</p>
<p>After a moment, the bandits had the upper-hand, they suffered little loss. But the merchant caravan was already heavy with casualties.</p>
<p>Han Li was lying in a pile of goods, his body was covered in blood, his face was charred.</p>
<p>He had been hit by a wind blade earlier during the intense battle, there was a deep and long injury on his chest, it was still bleeding. His face was charred because a fire pellet had exploded around him, the hot debris had slammed into his face.</p>
<p>“Damn it! Am I going to die here today?” The battle scene had Han Li feel despair.</p>
<p>He had started his cultivation journey after much difficulties, becoming a Gu Master by chance. But he was chased out and could only be a vagrant.</p>
<p>To survive, he joined this caravan as a member, but to think that such a merchant caravan would still be targeted by bandits.</p>
<p>“Run!”</p>
<p>“This merchant caravan is finished, I am not going to die with them.”</p>
<p>“Smart people will run with me, these feathermen are finished, even if they return alive, they will be executed by the clan.”</p>
<p>The loss was assured, the merchant caravan members started to escape for themselves.</p>
<p>They were all human Gu Masters employed to be guards.</p>
<p>“These fellows!”</p>
<p>“Ignore them, conserve our primeval essence, even if we die, we will die fighting!”</p>
<p>The featherman Gu Masters gritted their teeth, saying angrily.</p>
<p>“How can this be?” Han Li was dazed, he was very young and inexperienced, he could not react to the fact that these human Gu Masters were escaping.</p>
<p>“Why are you not running?” A featherman Gu Master walked over and saw Han Li.</p>
<p>Han Li gasped, he did not know what to do, he knew who this featherman Gu Master was, he was the leader of the caravan.</p>
<p>“Even though your cultivation level is low, in some ways, you are far superior to those escaping humans!” The featherman leader sighed, before patting Han Li’s shoulder.</p>
<p>His hand flashed with light, he patted Han Li’s shoulder three times, his injuries healed at once!</p>
<p>“Amazing! This is the might of a rank four Gu Master?” Han Li was shocked, he wanted to express his gratitude, but the featherman leader had already charged into the battlefield.</p>
<p>The front lines were in a critical state already, the featherman leader had to join the fight.</p>
<p>Once the rank four Gu Master attacked, the bandits suffered huge losses, many fell off their horses.</p>
<p>Among the bandit group, there were rank four experts too, but they were sitting at the back, watching coldly with icy smiles on their faces.</p>
<p>The featherman leader quickly controlled the battlefield, he killed many enemies, Han Li watched with much enthusiasm, while the other feathermen praised loudly.</p>
<p>But the featherman leader’s state of mind was turning grim.</p>
<p>He knew that the enemy was ruthless, they were using cannon fodder to waste his primeval essence. When the true bandit experts appear, he would have less primeval essence, he would be at a disadvantage.</p>
<p>Whoosh—!</p>
<p>At this time, wind could be heard from afar.</p>
<p>The wind was huge and grand, like the howling of a desolate beast.</p>
<p>Everyone looked over, as someone shouted: “Oh no! It is a golden thread tornado!”</p>
<p>The tornadoes in Western Desert were split into golden thread, silver thread, bronze thread, and so on, in decreasing order of strength. Golden thread tornadoes were the strongest, even a rank four Gu Master would perish if they got trapped in them.</p>
<p>The feathermen panicked, the bandits also panicked, like gunpowder that had been ignited, they shouted loudly as they charged towards the caravan.</p>
<p>They wanted to take down the merchant caravan before the golden thread tornado appeared, to take the precious goods and leave.</p>
<p>“Hold on!” The featherman leader shouted.</p>
<p>Even though the tornado was dangerous, and featherman Gu Masters would still likely die in it, they were able to naturally fly, they would be in a much better situation than the humans.</p>
<p>This intense battle reached the climax.</p>
<p>Every moment, people lost their lives.</p>
<p>Han Li was hiding in between the goods as he defended them.</p>
<p>He had low cultivation level, he was not a significant target, the bandits did not think of him as a threat.</p>
<p>Han Li was indeed not a threat, when his primeval essence was expended, he was no different from a powerless mortal.</p>
<p>Few of the fire pellets and wind blades hit Han Li, because he was near the goods, and both parties did not want to ruin the goods.</p>
<p>The tornado moved quickly, it was still far away earlier, but now, it was already close to the battlefield.</p>
<p>Winds howled, sand flew in the air, when hitting against Han Li’s body, he felt numb and pain.</p>
<p>“Retreat!” Even though he was unwilling, the astute bandit leader called out, choosing to retreat.</p>
<p>The bandits moved like the wind, even though they were injured and had blood red eyes, they left quickly.</p>
<p>“Quickly! Move these goods away.” The featherman leader had severe injuries, but he still placed his focus on the goods first.</p>
<p>The feathermen quickly saved the goods, nobody cared about Han Li.</p>
<p>The tornado assaulted, Han Li could not save himself, he was sucked into it. Many feathermen and large amounts of goods followed after him.</p>
<p>Han Li was swept into the tornado, his vision was spinning, he could not tell which direction he was facing. He was like a flower, flying along with the raging winds, he was in danger of dying.</p>
<p>Bam, he did not know whether he had hit a rock or some goods, but he fainted at once.</p>
<p>After a long time, he slowly woke up.</p>
<p>“Young man, you are finally awake.” An old man was sitting beside him, speaking faintly.</p>
<p>“You, who are you?” Han Li was still in a daze, he looked around and realized that he was lying on sand, there were rocks, corpses, and goods scattered around him.</p>
<p>“The tornado stopped? I survived?!” Han Li was stunned before bursting out in joy.</p>
<p>“If I did not save you, how could you survive?” The old man smiled.</p>
<p>“Thank you, senior, for saving my life!” Han Li quickly paid respects, sincerely expressing his gratitude.</p>
<p>The old man nodded in appreciation: “Back in the day, before becoming an immortal, I was just like you. Today, the tornado that you got swept into was caused by me. I lost my bet with Tian Jin after all… Before dying, I will impart the true inheritance of my entire life to you.”</p>
<p>Central Continent.</p>
<p>Inside Broken Sword Valley.</p>
<p>“Where is sword qi Gu?”</p>
<p>“Chase!”</p>
<p>“This sword qi Gu is mine, don’t think of snatching it away!”</p>
<p>A group of Gu Masters were shouting, they formed into a stream of people as they charged into the valley.</p>
<p>“Lad, don’t block us!”</p>
<p>“Anyone who gets in our way will die!!”</p>
<p>Hong Yi was outside of Broken Sword Valley when he saw a group of frenzied Gu Masters charging towards him. Among them were rank three and four experts.</p>
<p>Hong Yi’s expression paled, he quickly escaped as he moved out of their way.</p>
<p>A group of Gu Masters whipped a dust storm, running past Hong Yi’s body rapidly.</p>
<p>“What, what is going on?” Hong Yi muttered, his heart was still pounding.</p>
<p>Listening to a conversation among some people passing by explained the situation to him.</p>
<p>“I heard there is a rank four sword qi Gu.”</p>
<p>“No wonder so many people are going after it.”</p>
<p>“Let’s go quickly, we might be able to encounter a rank four sword qi Gu.”</p>
<p>“Wishful thinking. How long as it been since this Broken Sword Valley was created? There might be only one rank four sword qi Gu. Don’t even think about it.”</p>
<p>“Sword qi Gu… rank four?!” Hong Yi’s heart shook, a look of envy appeared on his face.</p>
<p>He quickly ran into the valley.</p>
<p>He had explored this valley before, but earlier, it was not like this.</p>
<p>As it turned out, before the battle of Yi Tian Mountain, when immortal zombie Bo Qing awakened, he had shot out countless sword lights from under Falling Heavenly River.</p>
<p>One sword light landed here, cutting this mountain into two, creating the shape of this valley.</p>
<p>This was the origin of Broken Sword Valley.</p>
<p>Initially, people did not pay attention to it, but soon, Central Continent Gu Masters realized that this valley was producing wild sword path Gu worms.</p>
<p>As it turned out, the sword light was not ordinary, every sword light contained sword path dao marks, after the sword light landed here, sword path dao marks were carved into the valley. A special location was created, and many wild sword path Gu worms were slowly produced here.</p>
<p>This fact could not be concealed, more and more Gu Masters came here to find treasures.</p>
<p>Earlier, a rank four sword qi Gu was found by someone, creating a huge commotion for everyone.</p>
<p>“Rank four wild Gu worms are extremely rare, even if I encounter one, I would not be able to catch it, it is too dangerous.” Hong Yi thought as he carefully explored this valley.</p>
<p>He moved away from the crowd, in an ordinary looking location, he saw something shocking.</p>
<p>It was a common caterpillar molting.</p>
<p>But the thing was, the caterpillar’s skin was shining.</p>
<p>Hong Yi was stunned before recognizing this scene, he was overjoyed: “Such luck! I actually came during the moment when the insect becomes a Gu. This aura it is emitting is… so strong! Is it rank four or rank five?”</p>
<p>Hong Yi could not wait for the caterpillar to finish molting, he quickly grabbed it in his hands.</p>
<p>He immediately moved away to a safer location, activating his primeval essence and refining it.</p>
<p>A moment later, he succeeded in refining it, he obtained a very strange rank five sword path Gu worm. It was black and palm-sized, it looked like a miniature sword sheath of iron.</p>
<p>Rank five sword sheath Gu!</p>
<p>“What’s the use of this Gu? Even though I obtained a rank five Gu, my primeval essence can’t activate it.” Hong Yi sighed to himself, when suddenly, he saw a sword path Gu worm coming out of a bush near him, it flew slowly towards him and entered the sword sheath Gu in his hand.</p>
<p>Hong Yi was shocked, at once he was speechless.</p>
<p>Southern Border, on a nameless small mountain.</p>
<p>It was night time, a huge rainstorm was pouring down.</p>
<p>“Shang Xin Ci, your life ends here today.” A muscular man walked towards the peak with his arms behind his back.</p>
<p>There were three Gu Masters defending themselves.</p>
<p>One male, two females.</p>
<p>One female Gu Master was heavily injured, she was Shang Xin Ci’s servant, Xiao Lan.</p>
<p>The other female Gu Master had long, silky black hair flowing like a waterfall, her skin was white like snow, she was extremely beautiful, it was Shang Xin Ci.</p>
<p>Seeing the person approaching, Shang Xin Ci smiled bitterly: “Shang Bi Xi, to think that it was really you, why do you need to fight to the death with me?”</p>
<p>Shang Bi Xi laughed loudly: “Father died, elder brother died, Chao Feng also died. As long as I kill you, eighth brother will ascend to the position of Shang clan leader. Thus, you must die today!”</p>
<p>Shang Xin Ci heard these words and her body shook, she almost fell to the ground, as if an invisible force had pushed her.</p>
<p>She said in a mournful tone: “For the position of clan leader, Shang Pu Lao is truly so cold-hearted and cruel?”</p>
<p>Shang Bi Xi smiled coldly: “Yes, you saved eighth brother’s life before, but so what? You want him to repay you with kindness and hand over the position of clan leader? Hmph, Shang clan leader has authority over the entire city! You have undue benevolence, how can you compete with eighth brother!”</p>
<p>Shang Xin Ci shook her head: “When I saved him, I did not think of fighting for the position of clan leader.”</p>
<p>“Exactly, that is why you are in this state right now. Hahaha!” Shang Bi Xi continued.</p>
<p>“Lady Xin Ci, what’s the need to talk to this scumbag!” Ye Fan was frowning, his tone expressed his utter hatred and disgust towards Shang Bi Xi.</p>
<p>“Young master Ye, you should leave. He only wants my life, I will give it to him. You are not involved in this, don’t interfere, quickly leave!” Shang Xin Ci pushed Ye Fan’s back, urging him to leave.</p>
<p>“I will not go!” Ye Fan shouted: “Lady Xin Ci, you were the one who saved me, a droplet received in need will be repaid with a whole spring, how can I abandon you?”</p>
<p>“Hmph, how touching. But you won’t be able to leave even if you want to. Today, all three of you will die. Shang Xin Ci, you are still so naive! If I do not kill all of you, wouldn’t the survivors tarnish eighth brother’s reputation in the future?” Shang Bi Xi said as he got closer.</p>
<p>Ye Fan gritted his teeth, even though he was heavily injured and could not stand straight, he stood in front of Shang Xin Ci.</p>
<p>“Hmm, a brave man.” Shang Bi Xi commented, before pushing as Ye Fan fell to the ground.</p>
<p>“If you were in your peak condition, I would have to be wary of you. But your primeval essence has been used up, you are no threat. Hahaha.” Shang Bi Xi laughed as he approached Shang Xin Ci.</p>
<p>Shang Xin Ci shut her eyes, giving up any futile resistance.</p>
<p>Before dying, in the depths of her heart, the figure of a man appeared.</p>
<p>One thought emerged in her mind — If I could see him one last time before dying, how good would that be.</p>
<p>But even after waiting for a while, she did not feel Shang Bi Xi’s attack.</p>
<p>Shang Xin Ci opened her eyes in confusion, she only saw that Shang Bi Xi was some steps in front of her, not moving at all.</p>
<p>He was stiff as a statue, an expression of fear was frozen on his face.</p>
<p>“Hmph, for simply some authority and wealth, you disregarded kinship, you are truly a disgrace to Shang clan!” A female immortal appeared.</p>
<p>“You are?” Shang Xin Ci was shocked.</p>
<p>The female immortal looked at Shang Xin Ci with approval, saying warmly: “Don’t be afraid, I am an ancestor of Shang clan, Shang Qing Qing. I have decided, from now onwards, you will assume the role of Shang clan leader.”</p>

<h1>Chapter 106</h1>
<p>A day later.</p>
<p>On the futon, Fang Yuan sat cross-legged.</p>
<p>A large face-sized white light was an arms’ distance from his face, silently floating.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan took out piece after piece of primeval stones from his money bag and threw them into the light ball.</p>
<p>The white light contracted, but became more eye-piercing.</p>
<p>When it shrunk to a fist-size the white light was glaring, and Fang Yuan could only squint his eyes to observe it.</p>
<p>“Probably the last piece…” Fang Yuan played around with the primeval stone in his hand, knowing that the critical moment was here.</p>
<p>He tossed the primeval stone into the light ball.</p>
<p>He could vaguely see the primeval stone floating around in the light ball, like snow dropping into boiling water, constantly melting away.</p>
<p>A large amount of rock powder fell on the ground.</p>
<p>The primeval stone vanished, and the light ball exploded!</p>
<p>With a bam, the three Gu worms flew in three directions. One fell on the bed, while the other two flew to the walls, and then dropped to the ground.</p>
<p>Refining the Moonglow Gu had failed!</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s heart sank. He quickly moved his finger, calling back his Gu worms.</p>
<p>The Moonlight Gu and Little Light Gu wavered their way to Fang Yuan as they floated around, slowly landing in his palm, but the other Little Light Gu had no response.</p>
<p>It laid on the ground, its milky-white five star-shaped body gradually dissipating into the air.</p>
<p>After a few breath’s time, it had completely vanished with no lingering traces.</p>
<p>This was the price of a failed fusion — according to the different fusing recipes, the Gu worm might get injured as a result, or when unlucky, might even die.</p>
<p>Even with his rich experience, adding on to the fact that Fang Yuan could multitask and had the right recipe, there was still a chance of failure.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was not upset, he had seen such an event many many times. He had already performed to his best, and if the result still failed, it could only be attributed to luck.</p>
<p>“Luckily, it was not the Moonlight Gu that died, but the Little Light Gu. I can just buy another one from the shop, it is easy to replenish. If the Moonlight Gu died, it would not be easy trying to get another one.” He had lots of cash now, even if one Little Light Gu died, he could just purchase another one.</p>
<p>Next, he inspected the Moonlight Gu and the remaining Little Light Gu. On the surface of both Gu, it was slightly dimmer than usual. This was the result of an injured Gu due to fusion failure.</p>
<p>“Once a Gu worm gets injured, the chances of a successful fusion would drop drastically. I have to wait for them to recover before I continue trying.” Fang Yuan knew that haste does not bring success, and quickly kept the two Gu.</p>
<p>He estimated the time, around at least three days later would he be able to perform another try.</p>
<p>Cultivation did not end there.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan opened his right palm.</p>
<p>His left hand was pale, and on his palm, there was a green insignia with a grass pattern, like a dark green tattoo.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s thought moved, and the primeval essence in his aperture began to move, like light red fog flowing towards the insignia on his left arm.</p>
<p>The green insignia was instantly brought alive. From Fang Yuan’s palm, the tip of the grass emerged, followed by the round leaves of nine dark green leaves, lastly followed by the jade green transparent stem. As for the roots, they were not exposed.</p>
<p>On his palm, the original dark green tattoo was gone, only leaving behind traces of dark green lines. It represented the intertwining of the grass with Fang Yuan’s palm.</p>
<p>It was the Rank two grass Gu — Nine Leaf Vitality Grass.</p>
<p>Right now, Fang Yuan’s palm was like a piece of land, and a Nine Leaf Vitality Grass was growing on top of it, like the exquisite art made of jade stone carvings.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan stretched out his right hand’s finger and plucked the leaves.</p>
<p>With every piece of round leaf that he plucked, Fang Yuan could feel a slight pain himself, like the feeling of pulling his hair.</p>
<p>After the nine pieces were plucked and placed at the bedside by Fang Yuan, there was only the bare stem of the Nine Leaf Vitality Grass left on his palm.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan continued to deploy his primeval essence. The light red-coloured Rank two primeval essence continued to rise from his palm like a cloud of mist, and covered the jade green stem.</p>
<p>The stem continued to absorb the primeval essence, and eventually a bud started to grow from deep within the stem.</p>
<p>This budding was pinkish green, small, delicate and very fragile, breaking upon contact.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan continued to use his primeval essence, and the bud grew bigger, its colour deepening. Eventually it grew into a piece of dark green colour, a completely mature leaf.</p>
<p>“I used up 20% of my primeval essence.” Fang Yuan inspected his aperture and concluded.</p>
<p>He only had 44% primeval essence in his sea, that meant that he could only create two vitality leaves at one go.</p>
<p>After creating another piece, Fang Yuan grabbed a piece of primeval stone and rapidly recovered the primeval essence in his aperture.</p>
<p>When the primeval essence rose to 40%, he nurtured the vitality leaf again.</p>
<p>Rinsing and repeating like this after half a day, he had finally made the Nine Leaf Vitality Grass grow back to nine full leaves.</p>
<p>He did not pluck the leaves this time, but with a thought, kept the Nine Leaf Vitality Grass back into his left palm, turning it back into a green insignia.</p>
<p>He took the leaves that he plucked and placed them into a small bag, bringing it with him.</p>
<p>A piece of vitality leaf was a Rank one Gu worm, each worth around fifty primeval stones in the market. This meant that with just these nine leaves, it could allow Fang Yuan to earn four hundred and fifty primeval stones.</p>
<p>Of course, he incurred costs in creating them, but excluding costs, he still profited around four hundred primeval stones.</p>
<p>Among all of the family assets, the most valuable one was no doubt this Nine Leaf Vitality Grass. Owning it was tantamount to owning a gold mine! And this Nine Leaf Vitality Grass had an advantage too — it was easy to feed. It only needed water and sunlight to survive, thus there was virtually no cost in raising it.</p>
<p>To Fang Yuan, he could give up all the other family assets, but for this Nine Leaf Vitality Grass, he needed to grasp it firmly in his hands!</p>
<p>Of course, this type of Nine Leaf Vitality Grass Gu was not owned by Fang Yuan alone. In the village, others held this grass Gu as well.</p>
<p>In fact, there were five Nine Leaf Vitality Grass Gu that was collective property owned by the clan. Everyday there were specialized Gu Masters whose missions were to create large numbers of vitality leaves.</p>
<p>To Fang Yuan, this is a good thing.</p>
<p>If he alone had the Nine Leaf Vitality Grass, the clan would definitely strike and buy this grass Gu by force. Just like how Gu Yue Qing Shu represented the clan and came to buy his Liquor worm.</p>
<p>Precious Gu like Liquor worm, Black and White Boar Gu and the Nine Leaf Vitality Grass, the clan higher-ups all wanted to control it and make it useful for the whole clan.</p>
<p>Three days later.</p>
<p>A light ball under Fang Yuan’s supervision suddenly exploded, and a new Gu worm floated in midair slowly.</p>
<p>It was sparkling and translucent, bent like a crescent, resembling a piece of water blue crystal. In a nutshell, it was like the Moonlight Gu that was enlarged in size by twofold.</p>
<p>Yet it was not the Moonlight Gu, but the higher-ranking Rank two moonglow Gu.</p>
<p>This time, Fang Yuan’s fusion succeeded.</p>
<p>The Moonglow Gu is made by fusing a Moonlight Gu and two Little Light Gu. A Little Light Gu can raise the power of the moonblade by 100%, but two Little Light Gu still raised its power by 100%, this boost was not additive.</p>
<p>But the refined Rank two Moonglow Gu, its attack power reached three times of the Moonlight Gu!</p>
<p>Actually, there are many different recipes to refine the Moonlight Gu, and it has many advancement paths.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan took this path to raise the moonblade’s attack power to the limit. The attacking range remained unchanged, it still had a scope of ten meters.</p>
<p>There was a route — using the Moonlight Gu and the Stone Scar Gu to perform fusion, the result would be the Moon Scar Gu. Its attack power remained unchanged, but the range doubled, reaching twenty meters.</p>
<p>There was another common route, which was using the Moonlight Gu with the Whirlwind Gu to fuse, creating the Moonwhirl Gu. Using it, the moonblade turns from blue to green, and at the same time its attack trajectory becomes curved. Gu Yue Qing Shu took this path.</p>
<p>As for Gu Yue Fang Zheng, he used the Moonlight Gu and Jade Skin Gu to create the Moon Raiment. This was a rare route and had an upper limit of Rank five, becoming the Moonlight Treasure King Gu.</p>
<p>However, having a Rank five recipe did not mean it was definitely possible to create a Rank five Gu worm.</p>
<p>Many Rank five Gu Masters did not have a single Rank five Gu in their possession.</p>
<p>What causes this awkward situation is not a lack of ingredients, but the success rate.</p>
<p>Gu fusion was not a 100% success rate. The higher the ranking of the Gu worm you are trying to refine, the lower the success rate. In his previous life, Fang Yuan’s Spring Autumn Cicada had a success rate of less than 1%, and it failed countless times. Sometimes, he was lucky and less Gu worms died; other times, all the Gu worms died together.</p>
<p>To refine the Rank six Spring Autumn Cicada, it needed all Rank five Gu worms. Once these Gu worms die, all of Fang Yuan’s hard work and accumulation would go up into smoke, becoming an illusion.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan failed countless times and started over many times, fusing once again and collecting Gu worms and special ingredients all over again. Eventually, he caused too much of a commotion and incurred a public outrage, causing the will of the people to become disorganised, and many deaths forming seas of blood and floating corpses.</p>
<p>He was lucky though, as he finally succeeded and obtained the Spring Autumn Cicada.</p>
<p>But once he obtained this Rank six Gu, all the righteous cultivators who were eyeing his Gu all along came to attack, and before he even got a chance to familiarise himself with the Gu, he suicided.</p>
<p>Thousands of millions of years, it was because of this disgusting failure rate that caused many high-ranking Gu Masters to waste their efforts, and go back to square one.</p>
<p>The only way was to slightly curb this failure rate.</p>
<p>And that is —</p>
<p>Vital Gu.</p>
<p>No matter the fusion result, failure or success, the vital Gu never dies. At most it gets injured.</p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>Many people guessed that it was because the vital Gu is the Gu Master’s first Gu worm and is linked to the Gu Master’s life, forming a mystical relationship and connection.</p>
<p>As long as the Gu Master is alive, if the vital Gu’s fusion fails, at most it would be almost dead.</p>
<p>Of course, the other Gu worms used in the fusion had a possibility of death.</p>
<p>Even so, a portion of the Gu Master’s fruits and labour can be preserved and accumulated.</p>
<p>The vital Gu is the Gu Master’s greatest fortune and fallback. Whatever the vital Gu is, it can to a large extent affect the Gu Master’s development path. Conversely, Gu Masters also find new recipes aggressively to raise the level of their vital Gu.</p>
<p>Some Rank two and Rank three garbage recipes, to Gu Masters, it worsened their future prospects.</p>
<p>When Fang Yuan found that the Spring Autumn Cicada had become his vital Gu, why was he so happy?</p>
<p>This was why.</p>
<p>The Spring Autumn Cicada was an extremely rare Gu worm, allowing others to rebirth, it was a heaven-defying ability. No matter how it is refined, it will not die. If this was Fang Yuan’s previous life where the Spring Autumn Cicada was not his vital Gu, if he continued refining, it could potentially die.</p>
<p>Spring Autumn Cicada was Rank six, something many Gu Masters would never be able to reach in their lifetime. An extremely large number of Gu Masters did not even have a Rank six recipe, and are still desperately searching!</p>
<p>Spring Autumn Cicada, although unable to be used to its full potential by the current Fang Yuan, was still his greatest treasure. The Flower Wine Monk’s inheritance compared to this, was a difference between heaven and earth.</p>

<h1>Chapter 1060</h1>
<p>Pot river resembled a long jade belt, it was situated in the eastern area of Central Continent.</p>
<p>The water in pot river was smooth flowing, like a beautiful song, it was graceful and harmonious.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie stood on the bank of pot river as he waited for Feng Chan Zi.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Hei Lou Lan, Shi Nu, and Tai Bai Yun Sheng were hiding nearby, protecting Ying Wu Xie’s safety.</p>
<p>The river water flowed slowly, two dragonflies were flying above the river, landing on the pot grass nearby at times.</p>
<p>There was a lot of pot grass growing in pot river.</p>
<p>This type of grass was deeply rooted in the soil below the river, drawing in nutrients. They were long and thin, the tip of the grass emerged above the river surface.</p>
<p>The tip of one of the stalks of pot grass had a brown fruit.</p>
<p>This fruit was still fist-sized, it was not mature now. The fruit was empty inside, and was not tightly closed, the tip was opened widely.</p>
<p>At this moment, a dragonfly followed the smell of the fruit and entered the fruit rashly.</p>
<p>It struggled for a moment, but it was captivated by the intense aroma, it did not fly out again.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie watched silently.</p>
<p>He knew: In a few months, more fruits would grow, the fruits would get larger, they would attract more insects, and even fish and prawns. As they grow, the fruit would close up eventually, and when they fully mature, the tips of the pot grass would look like brown pots, tightly sealed.</p>
<p>And next, pot river’s annual flood season would come.</p>
<p>During the flood season, pot river would no longer be calm, water would move rapidly, sweeping all of the pot grass away. All these brown fruits would travel in the river, leaving their origins and floating away.</p>
<p>On the two sides of the river, Gu Masters would start to haul up all of these fruits.</p>
<p>After smashing them, they could obtain the fish and insects inside, as well as some seeds of the pot grass. There was also a chance of getting Gu worms from them.</p>
<p>These Gu worms were sleeping in the pot grass, they could be easily refined.</p>
<p>A super force of the ten great ancient sects, Wind Cloud Manor, was in charge in pot river, during this time every year, they would hold a festival around pot river. Countless Gu Masters would be drawn here, of all ages and genders, not just Wind Cloud Manor’s disciples, but even all the surrounding forces would join in the festive season.</p>
<p>As Ying Wu Xie looked at the pot grass in the river, his gaze began drifting elsewhere.</p>
<p>In order to get the light of the immemorial era, he had already stayed in pot river for some time.</p>
<p>On the surface, he was calm and peaceful, but a lot of frustration was building up inside him, and this feeling was getting stronger as time continued to pass.</p>
<p>“I have Spring Autumn Cicada, but it is sealed now and is unusable. Before I refine it again, I will be watched by heaven’s will. Not only can heaven’s will influence my emotions stealthily, it can even plot and influence others to attack me. I cannot give heaven’s will any time to prepare, I cannot stay at the same spot for a long time. If Feng Chan Zi does not show up again, I have to give up on this.”</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie made up his mind.</p>
<p>At this time, a green figure flew rapidly along the surface of pot river, towards Ying Wu Xie.</p>
<p>“It is that rank six level grass puppet avatar!”</p>
<p>“Be alert, stay wary of any unexpected surprises.”</p>
<p>Shadow Sect’s immortals transmitted, focusing their minds.</p>
<p>The grass puppet avatar saw Ying Wu Xie and said arrogantly: “The light of the immemorial era is with me, but master said that the earlier price will not do, you have to pay an extra thirty percent on that basis!”</p>
<p>“What? Another thirty percent?”</p>
<p>“This is extortion, this Feng Chan Zi really dares to raise it.”</p>
<p>“The price was already very high, with another thirty percent, it is exorbitant!”</p>
<p>Shi Nu and Tai Bai Yun Sheng discussed.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie was also furious, but there was no choice, he needed the light of the immemorial era. To refine Fixed Immortal Travel, the light of the immemorial era was needed, there were no alternatives.</p>
<p>After staying silent for a while, Ying Wu Xie nodded: “I’ll agree to it.”</p>
<p>The grass puppet avatar snorted: “Then let’s trade.”</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie was already prepared amply, both sides transacted quickly.</p>
<p>The grass puppet avatar counted the amount before showing a satisfied expression.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie suffered a huge loss, he paid a great price but he had finally obtained the light of the immemorial era, he was overall still pleased with it.</p>
<p>He smiled at the grass puppet avatar: “It has been a pleasant transaction, we should trade again some other time.”</p>
<p>The grass puppet avatar said, “Hmph, again? That depends on my master’s mood. Actually, earlier, master did not want to trade, but he had lost a bet to Lang Zi Qiu some time ago, he wants to recoup his losses, so I came. You must remember this, my master definitely did not give the light of the immemorial era to you!”</p>
<p>“I understand, I understand. Actually, your manor has a huge inventory, it is truly a sea of treasure. Just a bit of the light of the immemorial era, what could it affect? Nobody would notice for sure.” Ying Wu Xie said politely.</p>
<p>“Enough, this matter is over, quickly leave now, we cannot stay here for long.” The grass puppet avatar said before leaving.</p>
<p>Even without its reminder, Ying Wu Xie was already ready to leave!</p>
<p>Concealing their traces, after flying for a hundred thousand li, Shadow Sect’s group landed in a nameless forest, resting and recovering.</p>
<p>“Just now, even though we obtained the light of the immemorial era, Feng Chan Zi’s price was too high, we paid too much. To refine Fixed Immortal Travel, we still need other supplementary immortal materials.” Shi Nu said.</p>
<p>“Thankfully, the light of the immemorial era is already obtained, the following matters are easier to solve. We can make use of Defy.” Tai Bai Yun Sheng suggested.</p>
<p>“The important thing is, how many refinements can you do with this portion of the light of the immemorial era?” Hei Lou Lan got to the point immediately.</p>
<p>When Gu Immortals refine Immortal Gu, just one batch of immortal materials was not enough.</p>
<p>Disregarding the hairy man heaven and earth style, and just looking at the human isolation style, the chances of refining a rank six Immortal Gu were often less than one percent.</p>
<p>Theoretically, Ying Wu Xie and others should have prepared a hundred portions of materials.</p>
<p>But after experimentation, reality was even more cruel.</p>
<p>Because the success rate was not just dependent on the amount of immortal materials. Many times, even with more than a hundred portions of immortal materials, one can still fail the refinement.</p>
<p>“This portion of light of the immemorial era can last for nine refinement attempts.” Ying Wu Xie said as he paused.</p>
<p>He secretly activated an Immortal Gu in his body.</p>
<p>Rank six luck inspection Immortal Gu!</p>
<p>This Immortal Gu originally belonged to Qin Bai Sheng, coincidentally, because he needed it, Shi Nu obtained it and used it temporarily.</p>
<p>After the battle of Yi Tian Mountain, Shadow Sect failed, and this luck inspection Immortal Gu was transferred to Ying Wu Xie.</p>
<p>This was an investigative Gu worm that could inspect the luck of people.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie’s eyes shone as he looked above him.</p>
<p>His vision was very different now.</p>
<p>A luck pillar, resembling an illusion, appeared in Ying Wu Xie’s eyes.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie was taken aback: “Eh? Why did my luck improve so much out of nowhere?”</p>
<p>He had already inspected his own luck long ago, it was very bad. And because of Spring Autumn Cicada’s drawback, his luck was continuing to decrease.</p>
<p>But now, it was much better than his initial assessment!</p>
<p>“Don’t tell me…” A thought flashed in Ying Wu Xie’s mind.</p>
<p>He thought of Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>He also thought of the self luck true inheritance in Lang Ya land spirit’s hands.</p>
<p>“Earlier, Shadow Sect invaded Lang Ya land spirit and took a portion of Refinement Cauldron, we even destroyed dog shit luck Immortal Gu accidentally. Lang Ya land spirit was preparing to refine it once again, and it just so happens that he succeeded recently. Perhaps he has already lent Dog Shit Luck to Fang Yuan.”</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie felt that this was the most likely possibility.</p>
<p>A few days ago, he was informed that Fang Yuan had passed his tribulation.</p>
<p>Because Shadow Sect still had one hairy man Gu Immortal traitor left inside Lang Ya blessed land.</p>
<p>“That must be it!”</p>
<p>“Originally, Fang Yuan connected his luck to several people, splitting it equally. After the battle of Yi Tian Mountain, my body is Fang Yuan’s, while he still has his soul, both involve the connected luck.”</p>
<p>“When he uses dog shit luck Immortal Gu to improve his own luck, it will flow down like water, going towards Ye Fan, Han Li, Hong Yi, and Hei Lou Lan. And these four people have luck connected to my body, thus, I also benefited from it.”</p>
<p>“No wonder I waited so long earlier with no results and slim hopes. But now, Feng Chan Zi suddenly lost a bet to Lang Zi Qiu and needs capital, thus he transacted with me and I obtained the light of the immemorial era!”</p>
<p>After thinking about it, Ying Wu Xie found out about Fang Yuan’s immense value!</p>
<p>“His immortal aperture has to undergo tribulation every two months, he must have used Dog Shit Luck to increase his luck and decrease the might of the earthly calamity. This way, I can benefit from it! I do not need to go to Northern Plains and find Longevity Heaven to borrow luck!”</p>
<p>“Even though he knows that this would strengthen his enemies, he has no choice. Because the calamities and tribulations of the sovereign immortal aperture far exceed logic, he has to do everything he can to survive every crisis! However… he chose to undergo tribulation in the northern icy plain, it was truly a wise move. Heaven’s will is targeting him, trying to get rid of him, it would definitely strengthen the earthly calamity. But undergoing tribulation in the northern icy plain, Reckless Savage’s true meaning replaced a portion of heaven’s will, it greatly reduced the danger. Hmph, I hope you can survive this, I will reclaim your body one day!”</p>
<p>After staying in the nameless forest for a while, Ying Wu Xie and the others moved off on their journey again.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie was moving quickly.</p>
<p>He was pressed for time.</p>
<p>Not only because his main body’s remnant soul was stuck in the dream realm, facing great danger all the time, he had to make use of this good luck to refine Fixed Immortal Travel, because the chances of success would be much higher!</p>
<p>Northern Plains, northern icy plain.</p>
<p>“Master, how long must we stay here?” The newly advanced strength path rank six Gu Immortal asked meekly.</p>
<p>Chu Du stood on the icy plain, he looked at the handprint that he had created on the ground, sighing.</p>
<p>He did not answer his disciple, he fell into deep regret.</p>
<p>“I was too rash earlier, why did I attack him without thinking?”</p>
<p>“Since he knows the method to draw out Reckless Savage’s true meaning, it will not be easy for me to get this method, regardless of whether it is an immortal killer move or an Immortal Gu House!”</p>
<p>“Even if I kill him, I need to prevent his soul from self-detonating, otherwise, it will all be for nothing, I would lose this immense opportunity to gain strength!”</p>
<p>“I needed to act more carefully, at least, I should have been polite before resorting to brute force!”</p>
<p>“Right now, the other party has fixed the gap and is hiding in the immortal aperture, that place is easy to defend but hard to attack, I have no methods to break in.”</p>
<p>“It is not too late to salvage the situation. Maybe I can talk to him? Right, I still have his sword path Immortal Gu with me, this is a negotiation chip!”</p>

<h1>Chapter 1061</h1>
<p>Northern Plains.</p>
<p>Inside the first layer of the heavens in the sovereign immortal aperture.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan opened his eyes slowly, his pupils flashed.</p>
<p>“I’ve spent so many days on deductions, but I’ll use its original name, it will continue to be called blood torrent.” Thinking of this, at Fang Yuan’s will, the Gu worms around him moved, scattering around him.</p>
<p>Hundreds of mortal Gu flew around him, forming a huge circle.</p>
<p>Blood asset Immortal Gu was residing in his chest, its red insignia started to glow as it emitted burning heat.</p>
<p>Suddenly, a dazzling blood-red light shot out of Fang Yuan’s chest.</p>
<p>The blood-red light rushed into the sky, turning into a huge stream of blood.</p>
<p>The stream of blood carried Fang Yuan and charged out.</p>
<p>After flying into the sky, with a swoosh, a long red line was drawn.</p>
<p>A river of blood-red light was flowing in the first layer of the heavens.</p>
<p>Everywhere it went, an intense stench of blood that would make people nauseous could be smelled.</p>
<p>In the river of blood-red light, Fang Yuan’s entire body was covered, completely concealed. This was good, he could hide himself, even if enemies wanted to attack, they would not know which part of the river to attack.</p>
<p>After flying for a while, Fang Yuan stopped moving.</p>
<p>The river of blood-red light vanished, Fang Yuan’s figure appeared all alone.</p>
<p>“The speed of this river can be even faster, I just need to add in some more mortal Gu.” Fang Yuan thought about his experience and concluded.</p>
<p>“But no matter how many mortal Gu I add, the linear speed cannot match sword escape Immortal Gu.”</p>
<p>Sword escape Immortal Gu was a rank seven Immortal Gu, this immortal killer move, blood torrent, used only one rank six Immortal Gu, and that was the rank six blood asset Immortal Gu, it was natural that the speed was inferior to Sword Escape.</p>
<p>Unless Fang Yuan could raise blood asset Immortal Gu to rank seven, the straight line speed of blood torrent could not surpass Sword Escape.</p>
<p>But this way, as a rank six Gu Immortal, for Fang Yuan to use the rank seven Immortal Gu, he would face the same awkward situation again, it was not worth it.</p>
<p>“My linear traveling speed is inferior to using Sword Escape, this was expected, it is not a problem! I deduced this immortal killer move while thinking about traveling while changing direction, to make up for the flaw of sword escape Immortal Gu. I can use blood torrent and sword escape Immortal Gu alternately, this way, I can barely deal with Chu Du.” Fang Yuan considered it clearly.</p>
<p>Blood torrent was a blood path killer move, while sword escape Immortal Gu was sword path, the two were unrelated, if any other Gu Immortal used both of them, they would lose out on both ends.</p>
<p>But Fang Yuan was an exception!</p>
<p>His body was special, it was formed from sovereign immortal fetus Gu. His dao marks were of all paths, yet they did not interfere with one another.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan could use blood torrent and sword escape Immortal Gu alternately, without causing them to lose their original strength.</p>
<p>Sword escape Immortal Gu allowed one to fly in a linear direction, even though it was fast, they could only move in one direction, it was too simple, it could be countered easily.</p>
<p>If the user stopped to change directions, the weakness exposed in that instance would be fully used by Domination Immortal.</p>
<p>But if he used Sword Escape and blood torrent alternately, he would make up for their weaknesses, he would be able to face Domination Immortal.</p>
<p>Chu Du was a strength path Gu Immortal, strength path was a path that focused on offense and recovery, it had the longest sustainability in battle, but it usually lacked in speed.</p>
<p>Of course, this was only Fang Yuan’s estimation.</p>
<p>As for whether it would be effective, he needed to test it.</p>
<p>After all, the last time Domination Immortal Chu Du fought openly was a hundred years ago.</p>
<p>After his battle with Liu tribe’s first supreme elder, he had concealed his traces and cultivated in seclusion.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan not only deduced his blood path killer move these last days, he even collected information on Chu Du using all kinds of methods.</p>
<p>But most of the information was from a hundred years ago.</p>
<p>At this point, Fang Yuan started to miss Fairy Li Shan. Hei Lou Lan’s younger aunt had mountain pledge Gu, she had a huge network and was in contact with many people in the demonic and righteous paths, and even lone immortals. If she was still around, he would be able to collect more information regarding Chu Du.</p>
<p>“Lang Ya Sect might be huge, but it had been in seclusion for so many years before wanting to make contact with the world again recently. In terms of information, it cannot match Fairy Li Shan. Information path, this is one of my weaknesses, I need to fix it.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s thoughts were wandering.</p>
<p>He thought of the battle of Yi Tian Mountain.</p>
<p>Ah, that was a huge trap!</p>
<p>Fang Yuan thought about it and his heart was still pounding.</p>
<p>He could survive because two giants were fighting, and he as an ant had profited from their conflict. He barely survived, a huge portion was attributed to luck.</p>
<p>Come to think of it, it was because his information path attainment was too low, he had insufficient intel! If he knew about the hidden details of Yi Tian Mountain, he would have changed his plans.</p>
<p>“However, even if I had Fairy Li Shan’s information path methods, I would not have been able to get any information. Yi Tian Mountain was simply too big of a plot, in the five hundred years of my previous life, there was no such huge commotion!”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan put aside all of his irrelevant thoughts.</p>
<p>He had to say, after reviving, his thinking speed was extremely fast. It was completely unlike the immortal zombie body.</p>
<p>And with his wisdom path grandmaster attainment level, with the help of many wisdom path methods, he was even more perceptive than in the five hundred years of his previous life, he could think more nimbly.</p>
<p>In this aspect, he had completely surpassed himself!</p>
<p>Even though he deduced blood torrent, he needed to practise it, and continue to modify it as he used it.</p>
<p>After creating an immortal killer move, it could not be left untouched. The Gu Immortal needed to modify and improve it, or even revamp it if needed.</p>
<p>Back in the day, Dong Fang Chang Fan created myriad star fireflies, he had improved upon it multiple times. Even so, he was not personally satisfied with it.</p>
<p>Some immortal killer moves were improved upon by the creator for their entire lives, even their inheritors participated in this process.</p>
<p>For example, peerless crescent moon slash was a signature immortal killer move of Heaven’s Envy Manor, generations of Gu Immortals had improved on it countless times. Precisely so, this move could become famous in Central Continent, and its might was not to be underestimated.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s immortal killer move was only created hastily, it was far from the level of moves like peerless crescent moon slash.</p>
<p>In the following days, Fang Yuan practiced on using blood torrent and sword escape Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>Non-stop usage increased his experience, he gained a lot of insight towards the use of blood torrent and Sword Escape.</p>
<p>While practicing, he continued to modify the move, eventually, he stopped adding in mortal Gu to blood torrent, instead, he started taking out certain Gu worms.</p>
<p>“I need blood torrent to work with Sword Escape, because I need it for changing directions. After Sword Escape stops, I need to succeed in activating blood torrent in an instant. This is a short window of time, thus, many mortal Gu makes it troublesome. Not only would it be a waste of time, increasing the difficulty of activation, the gains are also minute with just a small increase in speed.”</p>
<p>“This is almost ready, I should try to gather my immortal aperture and escape. Let’s see if I can escape from Chu Du.”</p>
<p>Even though Fang Yuan could continue to create more blood path killer moves, there was no need to.</p>
<p>After getting blood asset Immortal Gu, he had used this Immortal Gu as the core, along with the accumulated mortal killer moves in the five hundred years of his previous life, to create three blood path killer moves: life staking blood print, blood healing lake, and blood torrent.</p>
<p>At this level, it was enough already.</p>
<p>After all, he only had blood asset Immortal Gu, if he used one blood path killer move, the others could not be used at the same time.</p>
<p>As for the other aspects, Fang Yuan could use other Immortal Gu instead.</p>
<p>After the battle of Yi Tian Mountain, he had lost almost all of his accumulated Gu worms, his current Gu worms were of many paths, they were a mess and were not organized to systematically cover all aspects. But he had no choice but to use them now.</p>
<p>“But if I were given another chance, I would still choose to take sovereign immortal fetus Gu!” Fang Yuan had no doubts about this.</p>
<p>Even though Fang Yuan was inside the sovereign immortal aperture, it was easily guarded and hard to attack, but he had to be wary of Chu Du seeking help from others, or setting up an immortal battlefield killer move on the icy plain.</p>
<p>In any case, the longer he stayed, the worse it would be.</p>
<p>After making up his mind, Fang Yuan had no more hesitations.</p>
<p>At his will, the entire immortal aperture started shaking.</p>
<p>The tremors were increasing in magnitude, after a while, the immortal aperture world started to shrink.</p>
<p>It was shrinking at an incredible speed! After an instant, Fang Yuan opened his eyes and he was already in the outside world, the northern icy plain.</p>
<p>There was no snow or wind.</p>
<p>Pale white sunlight shone on this flat icy plain.</p>
<p>It was still very cold.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan focused his mind, he looked around with a divine light in his eyes, quickly seeing Chu Du.</p>
<p>Domination Immortal Chu Du!</p>
<p>As Fang Yuan had expected, he had stayed here and did not leave.</p>
<p>But the unexpected thing was Chu Du’s attitude.</p>
<p>“Wait, please wait!” Chu Du did not attack, he smiled warmly as he spoke to Fang Yuan in a gentle tone, there was no killing intent in him.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan snorted: “Are you being polite after resorting to brute force?”</p>
<p>“I am ashamed, truly ashamed.” Chu Du admitted his mistake, he apologized: “I was too rash earlier. But after seeing your tribulation, it truly had too big of an impact on my future cultivation journey! Thus, I lost my reasoning for a moment and attacked. Now that I think about it, it was truly shameful.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan looked at Chu Du vigilantly, he used many methods to probe the surrounding area.</p>
<p>Seeing that Fang Yuan was silent, Chu Du initiated: “Friend, I do not want to be enemies with you, I just want the method to draw out Reckless Savage’s true meaning. I hope we can make a deal.”</p>
<p>“Deal?” Fang Yuan’s eyes shone with brilliance, he said with a tone of consideration: “It is not impossible, as long as you can interest me with your offer.”</p>
<p>Joy flashed on Chu Du’s face.</p>
<p>But next, Fang Yuan said: “But before the transaction, we have to settle the score for your attack on me which interfered with my tribulation!”</p>
<p>“I will definitely satisfy you with the compensation!” Chu Du said immediately, he had an earnest attitude.</p>
<p>Even Fang Yuan was shocked — Was this still the Domination Immortal?</p>
<p>But thinking about it, Fang Yuan’s alertness towards Chu Du rose.</p>
<p>This person could put down his pride, he was an incredible person! Anyone who looked down on him was a terrible fool.</p>
<p>“If you want to compensate me, return my flying sword Immortal Gu to show your sincerity.” Fang Yuan continued to speak.</p>

<h1>Chapter 1062</h1>
<p>Hearing that Fang Yuan wanted to take back flying sword Immortal Gu, Chu Du smiled, he replied: “As long as we complete the transaction, not only will I return flying sword Immortal Gu, I will even give you satisfactory compensation.”</p>
<p>What a joke, of course he had to keep this flying sword Immortal Gu for now, it was the best bargaining chip to restrain Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>How could Chu Du return it now?</p>
<p>Chu Du was warm and polite now, but he was deeply aware internally of this.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan laughed, but there was no disappointment on his face.</p>
<p>When he asked this question, he had already known the answer, his expression turned cold: “Chu Du, you have no sincerity! We can forget about this matter.”</p>
<p>Saying so, he activated sword escape Immortal Gu and flew out like a sword, he pierced the air and instantly appeared far away.</p>
<p>“Friend, please wait.” Chu Du’s expression changed, he quickly chased.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan moved straight ahead, pointing towards the sky, after flying for a while, Chu Du’s figure appeared several li behind him.</p>
<p>“Immortal killer move…”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan looked back and felt that the Gu worm aura on Chu Du was very complex.</p>
<p>It was a strength path movement killer move, and was at rank seven, it was even faster than sword escape Immortal Gu’s linear movement!</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s heart sank, this situation was bad for him.</p>
<p>In fact, he had placed most of his hope on sword escape Immortal Gu. After all, it was very fast, even ancient cloud beasts could not catch up.</p>
<p>To think that Domination Immortal Chu Du also had an immortal killer move that could allow him to fly faster than sword escape Immortal Gu!</p>
<p>“I’m afraid that Chu Du has nurtured more Gu Masters for their immortal ascension than just this one. In the last hundred years, he must have secretly obtained a lot of Reckless Savage’s true meaning, his strength path attainment level is unmeasurably deep, this is how he created such strength path killer moves.”</p>
<p>“Since sword escape Immortal Gu will not work, let’s try blood torrent.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan willed and stopped Sword Escape, his body still flew ahead due to inertia, but it became slower.</p>
<p>Next, blood-red light flashed on his body as it surrounded him entirely, turning into a river of blood.</p>
<p>The river of blood tore through the sky, moving like a slithering red snake, the smell of blood permeated the air.</p>
<p>Immortal killer move — Blood Torrent, activated successfully!</p>
<p>Fang Yuan turned around and flew towards his left side.</p>
<p>The consecutive use of both moves was very smooth, even Fang Yuan was satisfied: “I reduced the number of mortal Gu, it was the correct move! This way, the chances of blood torrent failing are lower, and I can use it faster. This is all thanks to the practice I did back in the immortal aperture.”</p>
<p>These thoughts only flashed for an instant, his attention was mainly placed on Domination Immortal Chu Du.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had changed his direction, the most important thing was Chu Du’s reaction to it.</p>
<p>“If Chu Du can catch up to me, I will have to stop and debate with him, to discuss the matter of transaction.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was planning for the worst case scenario, but Domination Immortal Chu Du charged forward with an incredible force, flying right past him!</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s expression froze.</p>
<p>His vision turned to follow Chu Du, he saw the other party move like a bullet train, Chu Du moved forward with great speed, he had such great strength that shock waves could be felt along his path.</p>
<p>After flying for more than ten li, Chu Du’s speed slowed down until he stopped moving.</p>
<p>Next, he turned around and gradually gained speed, charging at Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>His speed became faster and faster, soon, he reached a speed that surpassed sword escape Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>Brilliance flashed in Fang Yuan’s eyes, he immediately used blood torrent and changed his direction.</p>
<p>Thus, the same situation happened again.</p>
<p>Domination Immortal Chu Du flashily, or rather, brutishly, flew past him.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was overjoyed.</p>
<p>He was worried about sword escape Immortal Gu because it could only fly in a straight line, thus he created blood torrent to make up for that weakness.</p>
<p>To think that this shortcoming was even more serious for Domination Immortal Chu Du!</p>
<p>The situation changed suddenly, Fang Yuan’s thoughts churned fiercely, he decided to stop moving.</p>
<p>It was very easy for him to escape now and shrug off Chu Du, as long as he was vigilant, he would not fail.</p>
<p>“Interesting.” Fang Yuan muttered, deciding to negotiate with Chu Du.</p>
<p>Chu Du saw that Fang Yuan stopped flying and felt great joy, he also stopped moving.</p>
<p>“So close, so close. It seems that the flying sword Immortal Gu in my hands is very useful. The other party is making considerations for it!”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan waited for Chu Du to fly to him, after a certain distance, he raised his hand: “Stop, let’s talk with this distance between us.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was vigilant, even though he had the advantage of movement, it was still better to maintain a certain distance.</p>
<p>Chu Du immediately stopped, he smiled, looking slightly pathetic compared to before.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan said: “Brother Chu is really incredible, this was really eye-opening! What killer move is this, it is so amazing, even my sword escape Immortal Gu cannot compare to it.”</p>
<p>“This killer move is called body strength travel, I created it after much effort, it can increase my speed using my immortal body’s strength path dao marks. But there is one weakness, I can only travel forward, and cannot change directions while flying, I cannot even move backwards. I have not practiced with it enough, I used it today out while panicking, it was truly shameful.” Chu Du said, he candidly conceded his weakness, giving an open-minded disposition that could make people look up to him.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan nodded, showing a serious expression: “Brother Chu is extremely powerful, during normal combat, in Northern Plains, who can make you use this move to retreat?”</p>
<p>“I will thank your praise! Northern Plains’ Gu Immortal world is extremely deep, I only have a bit of reputation, but the more I cultivate, the more I realize my insufficiency. There are definitely more than five rank eight Gu Immortals in Northern Plains. Among rank sevens, you are one of those experts who can make me feel wary. I am ashamed, I do not even know about your name or background.” Chu Du smiled with a bitter expression.</p>
<p>His words were not just out of politeness, they were his true thoughts.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan did not know much about Domination Immortal Chu Du, but Chu Du knew even less about Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>After Fang Yuan used sword escape Immortal Gu, his speed shocked Chu Du! After all, in terms of linear speed, sword escape Immortal Gu could compare with the similarly ranked qi escape Gu.</p>
<p>Chu Du was an experienced rank seven Gu Immortal, he had many movement methods. But compared to sword escape Immortal Gu, most of them were inferior. Only this final immortal killer move, body strength travel, could work.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s guess was right, this immortal killer move, body strength travel, was created by Chu Du for retreating.</p>
<p>But in Northern Plains, very few people could force Chu Du to retreat.</p>
<p>And because Chu Du had been keeping a low profile these last years to raise these Gu Masters for their immortal ascension, he did not fight much.</p>
<p>It was not that he did not practice this immortal killer move enough, but it simply had too many Gu worms, it was hard to use.</p>
<p>The first time Chu Du saw Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan was undergoing tribulation in the immortal aperture. Chu Du made a move, but Fang Yuan was even faster than him, with more resolution!</p>
<p>While Fang Yuan was searching for Chu Du’s information, Chu Du was not slacking, he was also trying to find Fang Yuan’s information.</p>
<p>But he had no gains.</p>
<p>In his perspective, Fang Yuan was someone who seemed to have jumped out of a rock. Since when did such a person exist in Northern Plains?!</p>
<p>Not mentioning anything else, just his aura was very strange. When Chu Du first saw him in the immortal aperture, he was rank six. But now, he had rank seven aura.</p>
<p>However, he was a Northern Plains Gu Immortal, that much should not be wrong.</p>
<p>But did he cultivate blood path or sword path?</p>
<p>This was a question that Chu Du was very curious about.</p>
<p>These two paths were not related at all! If it were soul path and enslavement path, or rule path and restriction path, or wisdom path and emotion path, then it was understandable.</p>
<p>But sword path and blood path?</p>
<p>Wasn’t he afraid that they would interfere with one another?</p>
<p>But Fang Yuan not only had rank seven sword path Immortal Gu, his blood path killer move made even Chu Du gasp in shock.</p>
<p>Also, also.</p>
<p>So be it if he cultivated blood path and sword path, that was none of Chu Du’s business, but he actually had a method to lure out the Reckless Savage’s true meaning?!</p>
<p>Chu Du had racked his brains and made countless attempts before ending in failure, he could only choose a crude method like raising disciples afterwards.</p>
<p>What method was actually used?</p>
<p>Reckless Savage’s true meaning, he definitely needed to have wisdom path attainment to do it!</p>
<p>Did that mean, his wisdom path attainment was also not low??</p>
<p>In this pursuit, even though it was very short, Chu Du could not catch up to Fang Yuan!</p>
<p>Seeing that Fang Yuan did not fly away but stopped instead, Chu Du felt like his heart was pounding, he was filled with excitement and joy!</p>
<p>Strength decided everything, thus right now, Chu Du treated Fang Yuan as an equal.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was silent for a moment, before he slowly said again: “Actually, it is not impossible to have a transaction…”</p>
<p>Chu Du did not speak, he only listened. His eyes were burning with enthusiasm, as if fires were blazing in his pupils.</p>
<p>But after a long time, the despicable Fang Yuan did not speak, he seemed to have gone deep in thought.</p>
<p>Chu Du could not hold it in anymore, he asked: “I believe that with my wealth, you will definitely be satisfied.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan looked at him before saying: “Didn’t you attend the Northern Plains auction recently?”</p>
<p>Chu Du’s expression froze, he said in a probing manner: “So you attended the auction as well?”</p>
<p>“That’s right.” Fang Yuan admitted openly: “During the auction, I even made use of you.” Of course, the second line was only in Fang Yuan’s mind.</p>
<p>“What would you like, you can just say it.” Chu Du pursued.</p>
<p>“It is hard to say.” Fang Yuan sighed, he frowned as he showed a difficult expression.</p>
<p>Chu Du was feeling impatient.</p>
<p>If this were another person, he would have slapped the other party already.</p>
<p>“There is nothing you cannot say, even if I do not have it now, I can try to get it for you.” Chu Du continued.</p>
<p>He had already decided to obtain this method regardless of the cost!</p>
<p>Fang Yuan sighed again: “I said that because I have not thought of what to trade with brother Chu yet.”</p>
<p>Chu Du was furious.</p>
<p>After such a long time, you showed such a difficult expression simply because you have not made up your mind?</p>
<p>Chu Du frowned, his tone became deep and low as he said: “Sir, did you stay here simply to toy with me?”</p>
<p>“Brother Chu, don’t be angry, of course not!” Fang Yuan immediately said: “Any Gu Immortal would have calamities and tribulations looming over them, we have countless needs. I have not thought of what, and how to transact with you to obtain the greatest benefit for my cultivation. How about this, give me some time to think about it, after careful consideration, I will reply to brother Chu.”</p>
<p>Chu Du had an ugly expression, he thought about it and nodded helplessly: “Alright.”</p>

<h1>Chapter 1063</h1>
<p>Seeing Fang Yuan’s figure leaving in the horizon, Chu Du watched, staying on the spot.</p>
<p>“Letting him go like this, was it a correct move or not?” Chu Du’s gaze was flickering.</p>
<p>But soon, he smiled bitterly to himself: “Even if I do not want to let him go, what can I do?”</p>
<p>“My methods cannot capture or catch up to him.”</p>
<p>“If I use brute force, with this person’s mysterious background, he might be troublesome to deal with, and even if I capture him, he might destroy his own soul, how would I get the method then?”</p>
<p>“However, seeing his attitude, he must be sincere in trading with me. Otherwise, he could have left already, why did he stay to talk with me?”</p>
<p>Chu Du recalled the conversation he had with Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>He thought about it for a while, he felt that Fang Yuan was very sincere, even though Fang Yuan did not talk about anything significant, and most of the things he said were lip service.</p>
<p>But precisely so, Chu Du felt: This was much more sincere than giving empty promises and assurances of benefits.</p>
<p>Of course, his greatest confidence was not in Fang Yuan’s attitude, but the flying sword Immortal Gu that he had in his hands.</p>
<p>“This is a rank seven Immortal Gu!”</p>
<p>Even a legendary figure like Chu Du did not have many rank seven Immortal Gu in his possession.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan flew away and did not encounter any more problems.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit had already arranged for hairy man Gu Immortals to set up immortal battlefield killer moves, there were even Immortal Gu formations used for teleportation.</p>
<p>However, Fang Yuan had an extremely easy time in getting away from Chu Du. Thus, the immortal battlefield killer move to obstruct Chu Du was no longer needed.</p>
<p>Retrieving the components of the battlefield killer move, Fang Yuan used the Immortal Gu formation and returned to Lang Ya blessed land.</p>
<p>“You had dog shit luck Immortal Gu’s protection, yet you still encountered Chu Du, this does not follow common sense. Did anyone scheme against you?” Seeing Fang Yuan, Lang Ya land spirit asked straightforwardly.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan frowned, he had considered this question long ago.</p>
<p>“With dog shit luck Immortal Gu’s protection, my luck should not be bad. Was it because the earthly calamity was too fierce, the luck gained from Dog Shit Luck was all used to counter the earthly calamity?” Fang Yuan had a guess, but he could not say it to Lang Ya land spirit.</p>
<p>He was a human Gu Immortal after all.</p>
<p>Even though he joined Lang Ya Sect, they were still of different races, there was a rift between them.</p>
<p>Like earlier, when Fang Yuan rushed back to Northern Plains from Southern Border, Lang Ya land spirit used the opportunity to take advantage of his situation.</p>
<p>“But if that is the case, then the earthly calamity that I went through was already heavily weakened by luck. Then, what sort of strength would the actual earthly calamity have?”</p>
<p>Thinking of this, Fang Yuan felt a cold chill.</p>
<p>In this tribulation, he had narrowly avoided death, his life was in danger, it was a close call.</p>
<p>In fact, this earthly calamity had completely surpassed the level of earthly calamities. Even the ten great catastrophes could not match Fang Yuan’s current earthly calamity.</p>
<p>“But I have connected luck with many people. Perhaps because Dog Shit Luck’s effect was split between many people, it was not effective.” Fang Yuan thought, but he said: “First supreme elder is right, this is not a problem of luck, someone was plotting against me!”</p>
<p>The identity of ‘Fang Yuan’ had already been exposed in the battle of Yi Tian Mountain.</p>
<p>Be it the secret about him being an otherworldly demon or Spring Autumn Cicada, the fact that he also destroyed Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was known to all.</p>
<p>Shadow Sect, Heavenly Court, and all of the Huang Jin tribes in Northern Plains were likely to plot against Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit sighed, worry was written all over his face, his tone became grim: “Maybe no one is plotting against you. Don’t forget, you are a member of Lang Ya Sect. And my Lang Ya blessed land is already exposed, we have suffered more than one attack. A while ago, we lost two Gu Immortals, the value of this place is enough for many experts and forces to act.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was slightly happy, it was much better for him if Lang Ya land spirit had such thoughts.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit’s gaze was flickering, he quickly changed his words: “But if we can use wisdom Gu as the core to create the Immortal Gu House Secluded Residence, not only can we defend ourselves, we can even defend against all of the deductions from almost everyone in the world!”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan smiled without speaking.</p>
<p>It turned out that Lang Ya land spirit wanted to talk about this. It seemed that he was still coveting wisdom Gu. But sadly, in the earlier transaction, Fang Yuan did not sell wisdom Gu.</p>
<p>“It was all thanks to first supreme elder’s Gu worms that I passed this tribulation. I will return them to you now, these Gu worms were a great help.” Fang Yuan said as a huge number of Gu flew according to his will, out of his immortal aperture.</p>
<p>“Of course! With their help, simply an earthly calamity is a piece of cake.” Lang Ya land spirit said proudly.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan did not say the truth, but he did not lie, he diverted the topic: “Especially your killer move immortal tribulation tempering aperture, it was really effective. But Chu Du appeared at the end, it was quite scary. Thankfully, I was superior to him in terms of movement, albeit slightly.”</p>
<p>While listening, Lang Ya land spirit collected all of the Gu worms, after inspecting each of them, he asked with a tone of regret: “Are you really not selling Dang Hun Mountain and wisdom Gu to me?”</p>
<p>In the original transaction, Lang Ya land spirit wanted to use three true inheritances in exchange for Dang Hun Mountain, Luo Po Valley, and wisdom Gu.</p>
<p>But after thinking about it, Fang Yuan felt that even though refinement path, luck path, and theft path were good, they were not entirely suitable for him, they did not quite fit his future plans. If he exchanged for all of them, it was not worth it.</p>
<p>However, the refinement path killer move immortal tribulation tempering aperture, the luck path true inheritance’s dog shit luck Immortal Gu and others, they could provide Fang Yuan with huge help.</p>
<p>Thus, after thinking about it, Fang Yuan chose his words and urged the land spirit: “Do you really want to trade all three true inheritances with me? There are many Immortal Gu in the true inheritances, if I get them, would Lang Ya Sect not need them later?”</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit was unwilling to let them go as well.</p>
<p>For example, dog shit luck Immortal Gu, it had been refined immediately by Long Hair Ancestor the moment Giant Sun Immortal Venerable died.</p>
<p>After that, dog shit luck Immortal Gu had been guarding Lang Ya blessed land, providing huge help to the previous Lang Ya land spirit when he refined Gu. At the same time, it protected Lang Ya blessed land from countless disasters and dangers.</p>
<p>However, if Lang Ya land spirit did not offer them, these true inheritances would be too low in value, how could they be traded for Fang Yuan’s three treasures?</p>
<p>Thus, Fang Yuan urged again: “First supreme elder, since both of us are unwilling, why don’t we take what we need. Let’s deal with a portion of each.”</p>
<p>“Oh? Explain clearly.” Lang Ya land spirit said.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan spoke about his intentions as Lang Ya land spirit rejected: “No way, no way, you want the most essential parts of all three true inheritances, but you are only offering Luo Po Valley. This is a huge loss, no way! It will not do!”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan smiled, continuing to negotiate with Lang Ya land spirit.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit was not good at negotiations, his baseline was quickly identified by Fang Yuan after some probing.</p>
<p>Under such a situation, the land spirit was simple and easy to deal with compared to Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>Eventually, Fang Yuan and Lang Ya land spirit came to an agreement.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan officially sold Luo Po Valley to Lang Ya land spirit, while he obtained dog shit luck Immortal Gu, blood asset Immortal Gu, and dark limit Immortal Gu, these three rank six Immortal Gu. His debt to Lang Ya Sect was cleared, and he borrowed a large number of mortal Gu and Immortal Gu to fix his weaknesses, and most importantly, the Gu worms needed to form immortal tribulation tempering aperture and triple layered sword wave.</p>
<p>And in fact, immortal tribulation tempering aperture and triple layered sword wave were extremely helpful to Fang Yuan during the tribulation.</p>
<p>Even though this transaction was made, Lang Ya land spirit was still coveting Dang Hun Mountain and wisdom Gu right now.</p>
<p>This time, the land spirit expressed his intent to purchase them again.</p>
<p>But would Fang Yuan agree?</p>
<p>Even so, he could not reject Lang Ya land spirit too harshly, he thought and said carefully: “I have no intentions to sell these two yet, but if I have any difficulties in the future, and the situation requires it, I will use them to trade with first supreme elder.”</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit was about to speak.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan waved his hand, quickly saying: “I will leave these two treasures in Lang Ya blessed land. I will not take them with me, I will lend them to the sect for use, as per our previous agreement. Don’t worry, first supreme elder.”</p>
<p>Lending wisdom Gu to Lang Ya Sect meant Lang Ya land spirit would feed it, this solved a huge problem for Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>As for Dang Hun Mountain, it was better to not place it in his immortal aperture.</p>
<p>Famous mountains or rivers bore a huge burden on the heaven and earth qi. The same applied to secluded domains of heaven and earth.</p>
<p>Most importantly, Shadow Sect had clear knowledge of Dang Hun Mountain and Luo Po Valley, if they used Fixed Immortal Travel to teleport into Fang Yuan’s immortal aperture, that would be a terrible situation.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit was not resigned, he continued to touch on this topic, but who was Fang Yuan? He was someone with negotiation skills honed from over five hundred years of life, the simple Lang Ya land spirit could not compete with him.</p>
<p>After a long conversation, Fang Yuan took back a lot of his cultivation resources that were stored with Lang Ya land spirit.</p>
<p>Like the eerie fire dragon pythons, regretful spiders, dragonfish, arrow bamboo forest, they were all from Hu Immortal blessed land or Star Form blessed land, they were sources of revenue that were only inferior to guts Gu.</p>
<p>From start to finish, Fang Yuan did not ask Lang Ya land spirit about selling the killer move immortal tribulation tempering aperture.</p>
<p>Chu Du?</p>
<p>He was just a backup plan for Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Even though they had exchanged information path Gu worms and could communicate, Fang Yuan had already left, he was not restricted by any information path methods, wouldn’t any future transactions depend on Fang Yuan’s mood?</p>
<p>As for… rank seven flying sword Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>Hehe, it was just a rank seven Immortal Gu, so what if he could not take it back?</p>
<p>Ordinary Gu Immortals treasured rank seven Immortal Gu, but Fang Yuan owned even rank nine Immortal Gu like wisdom Gu, he naturally had a different perspective.</p>
<p>Especially when he had lost almost all of his Immortal Gu some time ago to Ying Wu Xie.</p>
<p>Merely rank seven flying sword Immortal Gu paled in comparison to all those Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>Chu Du did not know about Fang Yuan’s background, he underestimated Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>All in all, there was little chance that Fang Yuan would trade with Chu Du.</p>
<p>Reckless Savage’s true meaning was much more important to Fang Yuan compared to a rank seven Immortal Gu!</p>
<p>“Because the path that I am going to walk on now is transformation path.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had thought about it deeply, he had considered it thoroughly.</p>
<p>Transformation path!</p>
<p>This was the most suitable path for him now.</p>

<h1>Chapter 1064</h1>
<p>Why did Fang Yuan choose transformation path?</p>
<p>After the battle of Yi Tian Mountain, Fang Yuan had a living body. He had been considering the most important question, what path was he going to choose from now on.</p>
<p>In his previous life, he chose blood path, that was because blood path allowed quick growth and was very powerful, he could grow while fighting, and it had little requirements towards resources. Moreover, during his previous life, this was his only decent fortuitous encounter, his best prospects were in blood path.</p>
<p>After rebirth, he gave up on blood path and chose strength path, that was because now was not the five regions chaotic war period, the regions were still orderly and blood path could not flourish. Another reason was because of his fortuitous encounters. Fang Yuan searched his memories and found the best opportunities for him at certain periods of time, coincidentally, these opportunities were all related to strength path.</p>
<p>Actually, be it blood path or strength path, they had flaws.</p>
<p>Blood path was in poor circumstances, people held animosity towards it. Any Gu Immortal or Gu Master who cultivated blood path would be pushed aside by the entire world.</p>
<p>Strength path was declining, even though Domination Immortal Chu Du added the human jun strength branch, its decline could not be stopped.</p>
<p>Truthfully speaking, these two paths were not the best choices.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan concluded: Since rebirth, his fortuitous encounters were quite plentiful.</p>
<p>Wisdom path, luck path, theft path…</p>
<p>These opportunities were also of very high grade. For example, Dong Fang Chang Fan’s wisdom path inheritance, or Star Lord Wan Xiang’s star path inheritance.</p>
<p>Star path and wisdom path, these two paths were much better than blood path and strength path.</p>
<p>Having an inheritance and not having one resulted in drastically different outcomes.</p>
<p>The former allowed one to use the wisdom of predecessors to advance fearlessly, they could be very confident. The latter explored on their own, in a world of the unknown, they had to experiment and find their way forward slowly.</p>
<p>If Fang Yuan had obtained these two true inheritances in his previous life, as long as the situation allowed it, he would have chosen Dong Fang Chang Fan’s wisdom path inheritance as the main focus, with Star Lord Wan Xiang’s star path inheritance as well as Blood Sea Ancestor’s true inheritance to assist him. He would become a wisdom path Gu Immortal.</p>
<p>Because in terms of prospects, Dong Fang Chang Fan’s wisdom path inheritance was the best.</p>
<p>Wisdom path Gu Immortals were few in numbers, they were very valuable in the Gu Immortal world. While being very popular, they were also deeply feared by many.</p>
<p>But the path to choose was not just dependent on future prospects, one’s immediate needs were important too.</p>
<p>Dong Fang Chang Fan’s wisdom path inheritance came from a Heavenly Court rank eight Gu Immortal, it had been passed down for many generations, the prospects were great.</p>
<p>But this inheritance had a weakness, it did not excel in fighting.</p>
<p>The biggest advantage of this true inheritance was the proficiency in deduction.</p>
<p>In order to make up for this weakness, Dong Fang Chang Fan created the immortal killer move myriad star fireflies, his weakness was alleviated.</p>
<p>Dong Fang Chang Fan’s route was not suitable for Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Because he was facing danger everywhere.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie, Shadow Sect’s remnant forces, Heavenly Court, Central Continent’s ten great ancient sects, the Huang Jin tribes in Northern Plains, Fang Yuan had many enemies.</p>
<p>Especially after the battle of Yi Tian Mountain, Fang Yuan’s secrets were exposed, be it Spring Autumn Cicada, his otherworldly demon status, or the crime of Imperial Court blessed land, he had almost been completely exposed.</p>
<p>Thus, Fang Yuan not only needed to consider his future prospects, he had to consider his circumstances.</p>
<p>In some aspects, his immediate needs were more important than his future prospects.</p>
<p>Without the ability to deal with his circumstances, even if he had huge prospects, it was useless, he could not make use of them.</p>
<p>Right now, Fang Yuan needed high battle strength.</p>
<p>Metal path, fire path, lightning path, sword path, blood path, these five paths were publicly recognized as the paths with the highest battle strength.</p>
<p>The first three had been mainstream for an extremely long time.</p>
<p>The latter two, be it sword path or blood path, had very short history, they were considered to be new. Sword path had Bo Qing, while blood path had Blood Sea Ancestor, but other than these two, there were few noteworthy people. Thus, the foundation of these two paths could not match the other three.</p>
<p>For Fang Yuan, be it metal path, fire path, or lightning path, his attainment level was ordinary, he had no inheritances for them.</p>
<p>In contrast, he was a blood path grandmaster, and even though his sword path attainment level was ordinary and had no inheritance, he had many of Bo Qing’s Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>The attainment level of all of the paths was an important element of consideration.</p>
<p>Without an inheritance, if the person had high attainment level, they could innovate and create new methods. But it would be harder to do it without an inheritance, the person needed talent and creativity.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s strength path, blood path, wisdom path, and star path attainment levels were all at grandmaster, with blood path coming from his previous life’s foundation. Strength path was accumulated over both lives, while wisdom path and star path were obtained by chance, using the dream realm to raise their attainment levels rapidly.</p>
<p>Refinement path was at quasi-grandmaster, it was good even among Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>Enslavement path was at master level, it was not impressive among Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>Luck path was quasi-master, while most of his other paths were ordinary (like sword path, light path, dark path, and others), or even blank (like phantom path).</p>
<p>In terms of attainment level, he should go on the path with the highest grandmaster attainment level, one out of these four.</p>
<p>But forget about blood path, or strength path on the decline, wisdom path and star path were not outstanding in battle strength, even though he had inheritances of them, Fang Yuan’s accumulated Immortal Gu were all lost already.</p>
<p>If the Immortal Gu in these inheritances were not yet refined, Fang Yuan could still slowly refine them in the future.</p>
<p>But these Immortal Gu were in Ying Wu Xie’s hands now, he did not know which ones were already destroyed, in this situation, there was a huge obstacle for his future cultivation. Even if he was willing to take a risk and refine Immortal Gu, because there could only be one, he might not succeed!</p>
<p>With all of these considerations, Fang Yuan was in an awkward position.</p>
<p>After the battle of Yi Tian Mountain, when thinking about his future path, Fang Yuan felt deeply lost.</p>
<p>Only after he gradually realized the profoundness of this body, the confusion in him was dissipating, he could see hope again.</p>
<p>He first realized that his body had over a thousand dao marks, of all paths.</p>
<p>This was not out of the ordinary.</p>
<p>When Gu Immortals undergo tribulations, because of the tribulations in their immortal apertures, dao marks of all different kinds would form, it was only that there would very clearly be one or two types with the highest quantities.</p>
<p>The most important thing was — his dao marks did not interfere with each other, they did not weaken one another!</p>
<p>This was simply too amazing!</p>
<p>When Fang Yuan first realized this, he could not believe that something this good could exist!</p>
<p>This overturned conventional wisdom regarding cultivation. If he told people about it, they would think he was spouting nonsense.</p>
<p>But thinking about sovereign immortal fetus Gu — a rank nine Immortal Gu that Spectral Soul Demon Venerable and Shadow Sect had prepared to create for tens of thousands of years, the essence of their work.</p>
<p>In this way, it was not strange for it to go against common sense.</p>
<p>Next, Fang Yuan was immensely joyful.</p>
<p>This benefit was not for others, it was for himself!</p>
<p>With just this point, he could cultivate every path!!</p>
<p>Long ago, Fang Yuan had once planned to cultivate two immortal apertures, one for time path, and another for strength path. But the sovereign immortal aperture was much more absurd, it could cultivate every path, from the start of history, every single path that had existed!</p>
<p>This was simply like a dream.</p>
<p>In history, even Immortal Venerables and Demon Venerables cultivated one path primarily, with another secondarily. Even if Gu Immortals cultivated many paths, the result was often that they would end up in failure after trying to bite off more than they could chew.</p>
<p>Because their dao marks resisted each other, the more they cultivated, the greater the conflict, it was not worth it.</p>
<p>But Fang Yuan did not have this problem, he could cultivate every path, there was zero conflict, his prospects were bright, he surpassed the Immortal Venerables and Demon Venerables in history!</p>
<p>Fang Yuan quickly calmed down.</p>
<p>The possibility was beautiful, but cultivating every path was just a wondrous dream. He had to consider the amount of time needed, resources, effort, and most importantly, a safe and peaceful cultivation environment.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan did not have any of these.</p>
<p>He had limited effort and resources, and had no time, his enemies were in all five regions, including the Northern Plains Gu Immortals who were most skilled at combat, the number one Gu Immortal organization in the world, Heavenly Court, the ten great ancient sects who controlled Central Continent, and countless people who were coveting the luck path true inheritance that he had…</p>
<p>His prospects were wonderful, but danger lurked everywhere.</p>
<p>Forget about creating his own path. Fang Yuan did not have that foundation. He could only choose one path that was available now, and continue on it. At most, he could cultivate a second one.</p>
<p>Any more, and the situation would not allow it. His time and effort would be wasted, and he would be seeking his own doom.</p>
<p>Among all of the paths, which one could allow Fang Yuan to gain great battle strength and display his expertise, while also considering his attainment level and inheritances?</p>
<p>After thinking about it, one path was left in Fang Yuan’s mind.</p>
<p>That was — transformation path!</p>
<p>Transformation path was called the ‘path that projected every path’, transformation path Gu Immortals could transform into existences of metal path, light path, sword light, light path, and all other paths.</p>
<p>But transformation path had a flaw that has lasted until today, 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.</p>
<p>This flaw was non-existent to Fang Yuan. Because of sovereign immortal fetus Gu, his dao marks co-existed in harmony. When Qi Zai chased him, he had even thought that Fang Yuan was the owner of Reckless Savage Demon Venerable’s secret of unrestrained transformation.</p>
<p>It could be said, transformation path could display Fang Yuan’s advantage the most.</p>
<p>It could even be said, Fang Yuan was currently, no, he was one of the only two people in history that were most suitable to cultivate transformation path.</p>
<p>Even more amazingly, once he cultivated transformation path, his secret of having dao marks that did not resist each other would be concealed completely.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan could use the Immortal Gu of all paths after transforming, without attracting any suspicion.</p>
<p>And after transforming, he could use the Immortal Gu of those paths and receive an amplification effect. For example, becoming a sword path beast to gain numerous sword path dao marks, and then using sword path Immortal Gu to gain a greater amplification in power.</p>
<p>Even though Fang Yuan’s transformation path attainment level was not high, so what, he had Reckless Savage’s true meaning!</p>
<p>Even though Fang Yuan did not have any transformation path inheritance, it was not an issue. Why? Because transformation path killer moves were easy to obtain, perfectly transforming into another form completely was a killer move of transformation path in itself.</p>
<p>As for the Immortal Gu of transformation path, they were the easiest to refine in all of the paths. To Fang Yuan, he could quickly accumulate them and restart again.</p>
<p>Furthermore, Fang Yuan had other considerations.</p>
<p>Like Lang Ya blessed land.</p>
<p>This Lang Ya land spirit placed high value on the identity of a hairy man, if Fang Yuan cultivated to fruition, he could turn into a hairy man Gu Immortal to gain his trust, he would get more support!</p>
<p>In the future, when he faces assault, he could turn into other things or people to deceive others. If his identity was exposed, and he could not do anything with his original identity, he could conceal himself and continue to roam the world safely.</p>
<p>“From now on, I am a transformation path Gu Immortal!”</p>

<h1>Chapter 1065</h1>
<p>Lang Ya blessed land, a few days later.</p>
<p>“This is the interior rain.” Lang Ya land spirit said as he landed a basin of water to Fang Yuan, letting him look.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan stretched out his arm to receive it.</p>
<p>“Be careful.” Lang Ya land spirit instructed: “This rank six immortal material is very special, it is quite ‘heavy’.”</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit placed a lot of emphasis on the word ‘heavy’.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan nodded: “Don’t worry, I have heard of this immortal material.”</p>
<p>Saying this, Fang Yuan took this immortal material.</p>
<p>Suddenly, he felt a strong gravitational pull.</p>
<p>Looking over at it, the water in the basin was clear and transparent, it had traces of green in it. Fang Yuan was holding it stably, but the water surface had ripples for some reason, like the surface was being struck by rain.</p>
<p>This was the rank six immortal material interior rain!</p>
<p>This type of rainwater was very unique, it contained dao marks, its actual weight was not high, but it brought a type of burden to the life form holding it.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit emphasized on ‘heavy’, he was not talking about weight, he was talking about its psychological burden.</p>
<p>“Have you really decided to use the third and final opportunity to ask me to refine Gu? Not to refine Fixed Immortal Travel, but to refine change form Immortal Gu instead?” While Fang Yuan was looking at the immortal material in the basin, Lang Ya land spirit asked again.</p>
<p>“Yes, I have decided, I won’t change it again!” Fang Yuan nodded, he replied firmly without hesitation.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had thought about it deeply, he had made up his mind to cultivate transformation path.</p>
<p>Fixed Immortal Travel was good, but firstly, the most crucial material, light of the immemorial era, was missing, secondly, Fang Yuan was not certain that it had been destroyed, and finally, change form Immortal Gu had greater importance to Fang Yuan at present.</p>
<p>Thus, Fang Yuan changed his mind and used the final opportunity to try and refine change form Immortal Gu!</p>
<p>Immortal Gu were unique, change form Immortal Gu was the essence of transformation path itself!</p>
<p>This Immortal Gu was famous in history, Reckless Savage Demon Venerable had used it and refined it to rank nine.</p>
<p>But after Reckless Savage Demon Venerable died, the rank nine change form Immortal Gu was destroyed as well. From then on, people would refine it again starting from rank six.</p>
<p>In terms of foundation, transformation path was much deeper than sword path and blood path. After Reckless Savage Demon Venerable, there were many Gu Immortal experts in transformation path, these people were like bright stars in the sky, they had left a deep mark in the long history of the world, they were talented and legendary, future generations revered and looked up to them.</p>
<p>Change form Immortal Gu had been a key element, it had also risen and fallen with these experts. Change form Immortal Gu had been destroyed dozens of times, and refined again by others. Under most situations, it was rank six. Rank seven change form Immortal Gu appeared scarcely in history. As for rank eight change form Immortal Gu, it was even rarer, almost countable with two hands.</p>
<p>The higher the rank of the Immortal Gu, the harder it was to refine. And together with the lower chances of success, the refinement materials were also more expensive. For instance, Old Ancestor Xue Hu, to refine rank eight Immortal Gu Fortune Rivalling Heaven, had spent almost all of his savings, and even ordered Snowy Mountain blessed land’s Gu Immortals to find immortal materials for him. From this, one could see the terrifying cost of refining a rank eight Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>Thankfully, Fang Yuan was only trying to refine rank six change form Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>He had the Immortal Gu recipe, and there was little chance of change form Immortal Gu being refined by others.</p>
<p>The immortal materials were mostly prepared, this was thanks to Lang Ya blessed land’s huge immortal material inventory, and Fang Yuan did not have to pay for them at all.</p>
<p>Because of Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable and Long Hair Ancestor’s agreement, Lang Ya land spirit would refine Gu for Fang Yuan three times. Mortal Gu were guaranteed, but Immortal Gu were not.</p>
<p>This was the third and final time.</p>
<p>“It is a pity. Back then you had the success dao mark, refining change form Immortal Gu would have been a guaranteed success. Why did you rebirth at that crucial moment?” Lang Ya land spirit thought back and felt it was greatly regretful.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had informed Lang Ya land spirit of many things honestly. After all, secrets like his rebirth were already exposed, even if Lang Ya land spirit did not know, he could obtain information from the outside world.</p>
<p>“At that time, I was used by Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, but even now, thinking back to it, it is still very suspicious.” Fang Yuan frowned.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit shook his head: “Forget it, let’s not talk about this. Even though we do not have a success dao mark, I have inherited my main body’s special hairy man nature Gu refinement technique. This method can use the dao marks of heaven and earth to assist in the Gu refinement, even though calamities and tribulations occur, the advantages surpass the disadvantages.”</p>
<p>“Furthermore, my Lang Ya blessed land has used the killer move immortal tribulation tempering aperture to pass countless calamities and tribulations, there are a great number of refinement path dao marks here. Together with the effect of the remaining parts of Refinement Cauldron, there is a high chance of succeeding in refining change form Immortal Gu on the first try.”</p>
<p>“However, to make it safe, Fang Yuan, you have to participate in this refinement. You are the owner of dog shit luck Immortal Gu, using your strong luck, you can increase the chances of success. In this refinement process, interior rain is the first problem. In the following days, you have to practise with the interior rain that you have.”</p>
<p>Luck path had great effect in assisting Gu refinement.</p>
<p>Back then, when Giant Sun Immortal Venerable worked with Long Hair Ancestor to refine Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, luck path played an important role of assistance.</p>
<p>But when Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable and Long Hair Ancestor cooperated to refine space escape Immortal Gu, it could not be used. After all, theft path was inferior to luck path in terms of helping with Gu refinement.</p>
<p>Next, Lang Ya land spirit taught Fang Yuan some of the secrets behind the hairy man nature Gu refinement technique, including some precious Gu refinement methods and many mortal killer move for Gu refinement.</p>
<p>Of course, these were not free, Fang Yuan had to pay with his sect contribution points.</p>
<p>Even so, Fang Yuan gladly accepted them.</p>
<p>The current Lang Ya land spirit was inferior to the previous one in Gu refinement, but it was still Long Hair Ancestor’s obsession, its refinement path attainment far surpassed Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had an amazing teacher now, many of his questions and problems in refinement path was solved. Those precious Gu refinement methods and killer moves that were long lost benefited Fang Yuan greatly. The hairy man nature Gu refinement technique was an eye-opener to Fang Yuan, he felt that if this method worked, it would be far superior to the human isolation style!</p>
<p>Interestingly, while Fang Yuan was researching refinement path, his brother was also researching refinement path in Black Hair Continent, which was under Cloud Cover Continent.</p>
<p>Fang Zheng was sitting in a room in the imperial city of Black Hair Continent, holding a three-colored flame in his hands.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s fake will was speaking inside his mind: “In the competition tomorrow, the enemy is extremely powerful! Fang Zheng, even though you have rank five cultivation level, you severely lack Gu worms. You are also a human Gu Master, you are ostracized in Black Hair Continent, you can only refine Gu yourself. Tonight, you must refine the rank five Gu River Swallowing Toad. That way, you will be able to counter the enemy’s water path methods.”</p>
<p>“I know, can you shut up?!” Fang Zheng snorted in his mind.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s fake will stopped speaking, but soon, the three-colored flame in Fang Zheng’s hands dissipated.</p>
<p>Fang Zheng spat out a mouthful of blood, after failing the Gu refinement, he suffered internal injuries.</p>
<p>“Hehe.” Fang Yuan’s fake will laughed: “Oh my stupid brother, you are still as useless as ever. The Gu refinement process has just started, and you have already failed at the third step.”</p>
<p>Fang Zheng’s expression was very ugly, but the truth was in front of him, he had nothing to say, he kept quiet and sat down, using Gu worms to heal himself.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s fake will continued: “Being useless is fine, any person can grow and become stronger even if they are useless and weak. But the important thing is, there is no hope if you cannot recognize your own weakness and uselessness. The materials you prepared can only allow you to attempt the Gu refinement three times. This is just the start and you have already failed. Without my help, how will you refine the River Swallowing Toad? Hehe, in tomorrow’s battle, death is not barred, the other party will not spare you even if you beg them. You are beyond saving.”</p>
<p>Fang Zheng felt anger from embarrassment, he shouted: “If I die, that’s my own business, you are too noisy, shut up!”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s fake will said eerily: “I am going to keep talking, can you stop me? You think I care about your life? Hmph, little brother, you are still so ignorant. I only want revenge, you are just a tool for my revenge.”</p>
<p>“I can become anyone’s tool, but I will definitely not be yours!” Fang Zheng replied resolutely.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s fake will laughed: “You have no choice, even if you do not want to, so what? After participating in the competition, along your advancement, you killed many hairy man Gu Masters, you were taking revenge for me. Tonight, you must listen to my advice in order to successfully refine the Gu. You must accept my guidance, otherwise, you will die tomorrow without doubt!”</p>
<p>Fang Zheng’s expression was dark, but he did not rebuke.</p>
<p>He clenched his fists, falling into dead silence.</p>
<p>Two hours later, he started to refine Gu.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan slowly gave his pointers regarding the steps. Fang Zheng did not speak, but he followed the instructions without any deviation.</p>
<p>Finally, when the sky was turning bright, at dawn, Fang Zheng succeeded in refining the River Swallowing Toad!</p>
<p>Cloud Cover Continent.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan lightly let out a breath of air.</p>
<p>The interior rain in front of him had been processed properly, it was like frozen ice, resembling a completely transparent jade.</p>
<p>But the truth was, processing the immortal material to this degree was not just as simple as freezing it.</p>
<p>There were more than fifty steps involved in this, more than twenty Gu refinement methods were used, and thirty refinement path mortal killer moves. Furthermore, the Gu refinement needed to do all these within several minutes.</p>
<p>After wasting three basins, Fang Yuan finally succeeded by the fourth basin of interior rain.</p>
<p>At this time, a lump of fake will flew to Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s eyes shone, after confirming that it was harmless, he retrieved it in his mind.</p>
<p>Soon, an almost indiscernible smile appeared on the corners of his lips.</p>
<p>“In order to survive, Fang Zheng can only follow my instructions. Even though he hates me to the core, in order to live, he can only obey.”</p>
<p>“Every time he survives using my guidance, he would feel humiliated and angry. But as long as this happens once, it will continue to happen. The more it happens, the less affected he feels, eventually, he will get used to my existence and rely on me subconsciously. By then, it would be the best time to refine Blood Deity.”</p>
<p>“But his current mental state is still not good enough, he needs to be trained further.”</p>

<h1>Chapter 1066</h1>
<p>A blood deity was Fang Yuan’s long term plan.</p>
<p>Fang Zheng was the second step of this plan.</p>
<p>The first step of this plan was to refine blood deity Immortal Gu. Fang Yuan wanted to refine this Immortal Gu in his first life. He had even found trouble with Vicious Lightning Fiend for its remnant recipe.</p>
<p>Only after refining blood deity Immortal Gu and killing a blood related relative would he be able to create a blood deity.</p>
<p>Right now, Fang Yuan might have a blood deity Immortal Gu recipe, but it was only seventy percent complete. When he had been an immortal zombie, he did not have the resources and effort to spare in completing this Immortal Gu recipe. Now he had revived, but he could no longer step in the light of wisdom.</p>
<p>“Even if I can’t use the light of wisdom, with my grandmaster attainment in blood path and wisdom path, it is enough to deduce the rest of the blood deity Immortal Gu recipe. It is just that the time and effort used would be far more than using light of wisdom.”</p>
<p>“Even after refining blood deity Immortal Gu, for killing Fang Zheng and creating a blood deity, I still need to change his point of view first, at least, I need to make him not have hatred towards me. Because refining a hatred filled relative into a blood deity will create backlash to the owner, they are like a double-edged sword, harming the enemies but also able to harm myself as well if I let go of my guard.”</p>
<p>Actually, there were many ways to influence someone’s feelings towards other people in the world of Gu Masters. Wisdom path had countless methods, emotion path was even more specialized in this.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had quite a lot of such methods. As long as he wanted to, he could just use one to make Fang Zheng docile and loyal to him.</p>
<p>But doing so meant influencing Fang Zheng through external power, altering his true emotions. And when he is killed and refined into a blood deity, the wisdom path dao marks used on him would be cleared completely, leaving behind only pure blood path dao marks.</p>
<p>At that time, Fang Zheng’s true emotions would return.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan could only slowly change Fang Zheng’s emotions and perspective, and he would be able to get a blood deity that met his standards.</p>
<p>Obviously, changing Fang Zheng’s perspective would be a very long process, and the completion of blood deity Immortal Gu’s recipe was also a far-off project, at least, Fang Yuan currently did not have the time to do this. Not to mention, after he perfected the blood deity Immortal Gu recipe, he still would have to prepare immortal materials to refine Blood Deity. However, the last point was much easier than other paths, blood path Gu worms had a characteristic – the cost of their refinement was quite low.</p>
<p>These many reasons determined that the refinement plan of Blood Deity could only be a long term goal.</p>
<p>But no matter how long it took, as long as he moved forward step by step, persevering and not giving up, he would finally succeed.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was currently taking out some time from his busy schedule to train Fang Zheng, reaching his goal slowly.</p>
<p>A thousand mile journey starts from a step, droplets of water form into river.</p>
<p>After understanding Fang Zheng’s situation, Fang Yuan activated Gu worms to produce fake will which then flew out.</p>
<p>This fake will would fly to Fang Zheng’s mind, replenishing the fake will that had been consumed in his mind.</p>
<p>A few days passed, Fang Yuan became very skilled in processing interior rain. Lang Ya land spirit then gave him another set of immortal materials to familiarize and gain proficiency in the Gu refinement technique.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s attention was mainly placed on this aspect in preparation for refining change form Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>When he was free, he would pay attention to his sovereign immortal aperture, inspect the changes in his immortal aperture and managing it.</p>
<p>Gu Masters nourished their aperture, and the aperture produced primeval essence which was then used to activate Gu worms. But regardless of if it were Gu worms, Gu materials or primeval stones, Gu Masters relied on the outside world for these cultivation resources.</p>
<p>At Gu Immortal level, the immortal aperture could not only produce immortal essence, it could also produce countless resources and they would be extremely safe and reliable, unlike the resources from the outside world which would need the Gu Immortal to watch all the time to prevent others from stealing them.</p>
<p>To a Gu Immortal, the immortal aperture was the safest production base. If it was managed properly, it would be an extremely huge help to the Gu Immortal, and be a solid foundation for them to rely on. Because of having the same dao marks, it could produce the most suitable resources needed for the Gu Immortal and produce food for Immortal Gu. Trading the resources with the outside world could earn the Gu Immortal a lot of immortal essence stones. There was even a chance of the immortal aperture having a completely new wild Immortal Gu formed!</p>
<p>Fang Yuan inspected his immortal aperture.</p>
<p>His immortal aperture was divided into ten layers, with the layout like the five regions and nine heavens.</p>
<p>Why was there such a layout, was it intentionally created like that by Spectral Soul or was it naturally formed? Fang Yuan did not know. After all, he had no role in creating sovereign immortal fetus Gu, he was only a lucky fellow who seized the fruits of success at the last moment.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had conveniently named the layers by referencing the five regions and nine heavens, with just an addition of the word ‘mini’ in front; like Mini Northern Plains, Mini Eastern Sea and so on.</p>
<p>After making several observations, Fang Yuan had gradually discovered some minor mysteries of the sovereign immortal aperture.</p>
<p>He discovered: the sovereign immortal aperture’s five regions and nine heavens were not only similar to the outside world in layout, their environments were also almost the same.</p>
<p>For instance, Mini Northern Plains had the terrain of a boundless flat grassland, the wind path dao marks in the immortal aperture were somewhat more numerous in this area.</p>
<p>Most of the fire path dao marks in the immortal aperture were located in Mini Western Desert. Mini Southern Border had more earth path dao marks and also some poison path dao marks as well.</p>
<p>After discovering this, Fang Yuan had distributed his accumulated cultivation resources accordingly.</p>
<p>He placed the eerie fire dragon pythons in Mini Western Desert.</p>
<p>Dragonfish in Mini Eastern Sea.</p>
<p>Regretful spiders in Mini Southern Border.</p>
<p>Arrow bamboo forest, star fragment grass and so on in Mini Blue Heaven.</p>
<p>As for Mini Northern Plains, there were large numbers of snow monsters in there. These monsters remained behind from the first earthly calamity, and they included large numbers of desolate beast snow monsters, and even ancient desolate beast level snow monsters.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan did not have the time or energy to deal with these snow monsters for the moment and so he left them aside. Anyway, Mini Northern Plains was empty, with no precious resources and was quite large, so these snow monsters could move about freely, after all, they were unlike ruin bats which could pierce through the aperture walls.</p>
<p>Air bubble fish, shark fin wolf, literature carps, desolate beast giant horned sheep, worldly sand gull, oil water, rockmen, blood zhi forest, mirror willow trees and so on were also arranged properly.</p>
<p>While Fang Yuan was training his Gu refinement skills, he was also taking out some time to look after these resources.</p>
<p>Arrow bamboo forest, star fragment grass and so on might have been moved into Mini Blue Heaven, but their Gu worm production had fallen terrifyingly. Meanwhile, eerie fire dragon pythons and dragonfish experienced minor decrease in their reproduction. Only regretful spiders had similar production rate to beforehand.</p>
<p>There was nothing to be done, the sovereign immortal aperture might have broad prospects and unlimited potential, but currently it had only gone through one earthly calamity.</p>
<p>Although it possessed dao marks of every path, but there were only about a hundred dao marks of the majority of the paths.</p>
<p>The growth of regretful spiders relied on wisdom path dao marks, dragonfish on food path and water path dao marks, while the living environment of eerie fire dragon pythons had more fire path dao marks. The production of star path mortal Gu in arrow bamboo forest and the star fragment grass fields depended on star path dao marks.</p>
<p>He had previously placed these resources in Hu Immortal blessed land or Star Form blessed land.</p>
<p>The former had passed six or seven earthly calamities and had a lot of dao marks, its fire path and water path dao marks passed the numbers in the sovereign immortal aperture. While Star Form blessed land itself focused on star path, the sovereign immortal aperture simply could not be compared to it on this aspect.</p>
<p>However, not all the paths in the sovereign immortal aperture had only around a hundred dao marks.</p>
<p>Qi path dao marks were far higher in number, this was because Fang Yuan had killed the qi path Gu Immortal Qi Zai in Southern Border’s Five Regional Mountain Range and obtained his accumulation of qi path dao marks.</p>
<p>However, qi path dao marks were still not the highest in number, the highest were snow path dao marks.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had passed his first earthly calamity with difficulty, actually calling it an ‘earthly calamity’ was not appropriate, it was so terrifying that it far surpassed the ten great catastrophes.</p>
<p>Calamities and tribulations had a rule, that was the balance of fortune and disaster, the stronger the might of the calamities and tribulations, the more benefits the Gu Immortal could receive after passing them.</p>
<p>The benefits here were referring to dao marks.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan obtained huge numbers of dao marks from his first earthly calamity.</p>
<p>Among them, snow path dao marks were the highest in number, following afterwards were strength path and transformation path dao marks. The latter two paths’ dao marks were lower in quantity to qi path. After all, Fang Yuan’s qi path dao marks were the lifetime accumulation of the rank seven Gu Immortal Qi Zai, while the strength path and transformation path dao marks were obtained just from the first earthly calamity.</p>
<p>These dao marks were already beginning to influence Fang Yuan’s sovereign immortal aperture.</p>
<p>It was still not noticeable in the other four small regions, but in Mini Northern Plains, there was already a large patch of snowy plain and its boundary was still slowly expanding.</p>
<p>This environment was good enough for Fang Yuan to plant many kinds of cold resistant vegetation.</p>
<p>Like when Hu Immortal blessed land’s environment changed after experiencing a few earthly calamities, and Hu Immortal was able to plant blue degree grass, chestnut grass, six divine grass, milk tea flowers and so on.</p>
<p>One main principle of managing immortal apertures was to act according to the environment.</p>
<p>To refine Change Form, Fang Yuan was preparing with all his effort, and in Central Continent, Ying Wu Xie’s group was also not idling.</p>
<p>They had obtained the light of the immemorial era, and started gathering other immortal materials listed in the Gu recipe.</p>
<p>They were able to resolve a small portion of the items from their own inventories, but there were still many that required them to buy from the outside world or exchange with others.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie had inherited the remnant forces of Shadow Sect, and was the boss of Defy, so his first choice was to trade for the resources from the organization.</p>
<p>Negotiations, bargaining, and finally transactions.</p>
<p>Gu Immortals chased after profits and with the loose structure of Defy, it was not easy to transact immortal materials.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie and Hei Lou Lan almost ran their mouths dry while negotiating. Shi Nu and Tai Bai Yun Sheng were not adept at negotiations.</p>
<p>After great pains and effort, Ying Wu Xie was finally able to gather three portions of Gu refinement materials.</p>
<p>“Yu Mu Chun is already dead, I have no choice but to give up on the hairy man heaven and earth style and use human isolation style to refine Fixed Immortal Travel. This method’s success rate is quite low, just three portions of immortal materials are not enough.”</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie did not stop purchasing the materials, moreover to refine the Gu, he and the other three immortals took the risk of returning to Earth Abyss.</p>
<p>Shadow Sect had arranged a super Gu formation in Earth Abyss which could provide huge help in Gu refinement.</p>
<p>When Ying Wu Xie barely gathered six complete portions of immortal materials through Defy, a mishap occurred.</p>
<p>A member of Defy, demonic Gu Immortal Gong Sun Liang, who had been hiding in Ming Tang valley, was ambushed and captured by Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals! Gong Sun Liang sent a request for help to Defy, the whole of Defy had immediately fallen into a huge turbulence.</p>
<p>Gong Sun Liang, who had hidden himself very well, was actually captured. More importantly, Heavenly Court had personally made a move, this was truly shocking.</p>
<p>Most of the members of Defy were those that were suppressed or excluded by Central Continent’s ten great ancient sects, and had secretly allied for survival. Meanwhile, the ten great ancient sects were no more than subsidiaries of Heavenly Court.</p>
<p>Facing the colossal Heavenly Court, everyone in Defy was feeling insecure, and feared Gong Sun Liang revealing clues that would implicate them.</p>
<p>“Damned Heavenly Court!” Ying Wu Xie could only curse at this.</p>
<p>Because of this event, other members of Defy went into hiding, and no longer dared to communicate with him, let alone trading immortal materials.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie knew they not only feared Heavenly Court, more than that they were doubtful of him, this boss. After all, previously, Gong Sun Liang had lent his Immortal Gu to Ying Wu Xie, and he was the one who met with disaster while the Immortal Gu remained with Ying Wu Xie. Was it the greed for Immortal Gu that the boss intentionally did not save Gong Sun Liang? This suspicion had caused the power and prestige of the boss’ name to take a huge hit.</p>
<p>Gong Sun Liang was captured, cutting down Ying Wu Xie’s optimal source of gathering immortal materials.</p>
<p>With no choice, they could only take help of treasure yellow heaven.</p>
<p>This was the biggest market in the five regions.</p>
<p>But the service charge was high and the transactions were not secret, they could easily be tracked down by those that had the intention.</p>
<p>In short, the risk was high, if not for there being no other way, Ying Wu Xie would not have used this method.</p>
<p>“Gong Sun Liang is captured, Heavenly Court will sooner or later find out about this place. Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord is dead, but Fairy Zi Wei has awakened. I must refine Fixed Immortal Travel as soon as possible!”</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie was feeling more and more hurried.</p>
<p>His circumstances were also worsening by the day.</p>
<p>Shadow Sect had emptied out almost all their treasuries to refine sovereign immortal fetus Gu, even using Zombie Alliance as immortal materials to refine into the ten extreme formation.</p>
<p>Shi Nu might be rank seven, but his immortal aperture was not managed properly.</p>
<p>Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng had advanced to Gu Immortal not long ago and had limited accumulations.</p>
<p>Although treasure yellow heaven had a superb collection of immortal materials, Ying Wu Xie suffered from poverty and had to spend his remaining wealth very carefully. He had to haggle over the smallest details, who would want to transact immortal materials with him?</p>
<p>Finally, by the time Ying Wu Xie was able to gather ten portions of Gu refinement materials through treasure yellow heaven, he had almost reached the point where he shed tears of bitterness, his expression one of misery.</p>
<p>A tiger without strength gets bullied by dogs.</p>
<p>If now was before the battle of Yi Tian Mountain, there would be ten or twenty entire portions of rank six immortal materials which could be obtained from just a fraction of Shadow Sect’s treasury. Even if the materials were not in the treasury, with just one order, Zombie Alliance over the five regions would mobilize large numbers of immortal zombies to gather the immortal materials.</p>
<p>Why would he get into this state!</p>
<p>To gather the immortal materials, the current Ying Wu Xie and the rest had almost already emptied out their pockets.</p>
<p>“I must succeed in refining Fixed Immortal Travel! I must succeed!” Ying Wu Xie inwardly cried out.</p>
<p>His situation was filled with difficulties, while Fang Yuan was progressing smoothly.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had already discussed with Lang Ya land spirit, even if the first Gu refinement did not succeed, they would still continue.</p>
<p>As for the immortal materials required for the second or the third time, Fang Yuan would have to bear all the costs.</p>
<p>He had ample money on hand, or rather, he had extremely ample money on hand.</p>
<p>The production of his major resources had decreased, but Fang Yuan’s earnings had instead multiplied by several times!</p>
<p>The reason?</p>
<p>The time path foundation in Fang Yuan’s sovereign immortal aperture was extremely abundant, the rate of time inside was as high as sixty times that of the outside world.</p>
<p>What did that imply?</p>
<p>One day in the outside world was two months inside the sovereign immortal aperture!</p>
<p>With such an increase in time, there would be more resources produced, completely making up for the reduction in the production rate.</p>
<p>However, only a part of these resources would be sold by Fang Yuan. When negotiating with Lang Ya land spirit, Fang Yuan had intentionally mortgaged Dang Hun Mountain. In any case, Fang Yuan was able to pay the debt.</p>
<p>But this, however, gave Lang Ya land spirit plenty of motivation.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit was slightly worried that the Gu refinement would succeed in one go, wouldn’t that mean he would be unable to take the chance to obtain Dang Hun Mountain?</p>

<h1>Chapter 1067</h1>
<p>Several days later, in a deep part of Central Continent’s Earth Abyss.</p>
<p>Shi Nu came back from the outside, reporting to Ying Wu Xie: “Master, I have already investigated clearly. Because of the huge cave-in, there was a massive commotion, Ancient Soul Sect sent out three Gu Immortals to investigate. According to your instructions, I have already lured several ancient desolate beasts and five desolate beast groups to them. Because there seems to be wild Immortal Gu in them, the three Gu Immortals from Ancient Soul Sect will be kept busy.”</p>
<p>Shi Nu was a rockman, he was born with earth path dao marks. Shi Nu’s earth path cultivation was extremely useful in an environment like Earth Abyss.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie nodded: “You did well in this matter, but heaven’s will is everywhere, do not be careless. When I am refining Gu, heaven’s will might influence these Gu Immortals to cause them to come here and ruin our plan!”</p>
<p>Shi Nu thought for a moment before speaking: “Master is right, but in this direction, we have already arranged three groups of desolate beasts to obstruct them. Even if they get past the desolate beasts and arrive here, we will have enough time to react.”</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie shook his head slightly: “You have not seen the true power of heaven’s will. Not only can it influence Gu Immortals, it can also affect desolate beasts and desolate plants. At the crucial moment, these desolate beast groups might charge at us.”</p>
<p>Shi Nu’s expression changed: “If the desolate beast group charges here… what do we do?”</p>
<p>What he meant was, were his earlier preparations of luring the beast groups simply shooting themselves in the foot?</p>
<p>“No need to worry. My confidence does not lie in these desolate beast groups or ancient desolate beasts. It is in this super Gu formation!” Ying Wu Xie said as an insightful light flashed across his eyes.</p>
<p>Here was the safest place in Central Continent.</p>
<p>This super Gu formation covered all aspects, it not only hid them from heaven’s will, it prevented the deductions of wisdom path Gu Immortals, and also had incredible offense and defense, it could even assist in refining Gu.</p>
<p>When Spectral Soul was in the door of life and death, he devoured souls and gained the memories and cultivation experiences of countless Gu Immortals. When he was alive, he was Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, his talent was top tier even throughout history.</p>
<p>Experiences of formation path and refinement path were all absorbed by Spectral Soul, he saved a lot of time and effort because of this, he raised his formation path, refinement path, and other paths’ attainment levels to great grandmaster.</p>
<p>And this super Gu formation was designed by Spectral Soul in the door of life and death, one could imagine how powerful it was.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie was relying on this super Gu formation to refine Gu, it was an ingenious idea.</p>
<p>Even if desolate beast groups or ancient desolate beasts came charging, he could use the super Gu formation to kill these desolate beasts and ancient desolate beasts, using their souls to fuel the super Gu formation and increase its might. Thus, there was no issue of creating trouble for themselves.</p>
<p>Shi Nu’s worry was undue, even though he had lived here for a long time, he did not know the true power of this Gu formation.</p>
<p>“I did not destroy Spring Autumn Cicada, heaven’s will resides inside this Gu, thus, the location of the super Gu formation is known by heaven’s will. But it is not a problem, even if Heavenly Court’s rank eight Gu Immortals attack us, I can defend us for some time. With Heaven Overseeing Tower destroyed now, even though they have fate Gu, the chances of Heavenly Court getting here are low!”</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie did not give up on Spring Autumn Cicada after careful consideration.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan could use Spring Autumn Cicada to destroy Shadow Sect’s plan of a hundred thousand years. Then why couldn’t Ying Wu Xie also use Spring Autumn Cicada as his final trump card?</p>
<p>Heaven’s will was vast, it only cared about balance, it did not bear grudges. Anyone who threatens this world or threatens the life forms in this world would be targeted by heaven’s will.</p>
<p>Right now, heaven’s will’s main target was Fang Yuan, not Ying Wu Xie.</p>
<p>Thus, even though Spring Autumn Cicada was full of heaven’s will, it was still useful to Ying Wu Xie.</p>
<p>And in Ying Wu Xie’s plans, he was going to re-refine Spring Autumn Cicada, to clear out the heaven’s will inside, making this legendary Gu his own.</p>
<p>But these were future plans.</p>
<p>Right now, Ying Wu Xie’s mind was on refining Fixed Immortal Travel.</p>
<p>This Immortal Gu was the key to resolving his problem!</p>
<p>With this Immortal Gu, he could go anywhere, he would regain the freedom he needed.</p>
<p>“There is no time, we should refine Fixed Immortal Travel now. Shi Nu, don’t resist, I will activate the Gu formation and send you to the formation core, you will assist me with refining the Gu.” Ying Wu Xie ordered.</p>
<p>“Yes master, I will do my best, even if I have to stake my life!” Shi Nu quickly responded.</p>
<p>After moving Shi Nu, Ying Wu Xie also came to the most central formation core. As for Tai Bai Yun Sheng and Hei Lou Lan, they were moved to two other formation cores.</p>
<p>Even though it was only a rank six Fixed Immortal Travel, this Gu refinement was very significant to Shadow Sect’s future, and even the situation of the five regions.</p>
<p>The Gu refinement began!</p>
<p>Half a month later, Northern Plains, Lang Ya blessed land.</p>
<p>The first refinement attempt of change form Immortal Gu was about to begin.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan stood in Cloud Cover Continent, he was looking at Lang Ya land spirit with a serious expression.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit was no longer so sagely, he was muscular and brawny, he had black hair on his body as he floated in the sky like a demonic god.</p>
<p>He growled, his voice filled the scene, clouds scattered upon his action.</p>
<p>Dao marks seemed to have lit up due to his voice, the surroundings were full of them.</p>
<p>“These dao marks are mostly refinement path dao marks, they are exceptionally good assistance in Gu refinement!” Lang Ya land spirit introduced proudly.</p>
<p>He growled again.</p>
<p>While growling, lumps of light shined in the entire sky, they shone with beautiful and vibrant lights, it was a dazzling sight.</p>
<p>“What is happening in the sky?”</p>
<p>“Quickly look, an immortal miracle has occurred again!”</p>
<p>“Not long ago, there was a rainbow beam, and now, there are rainbow stars in the sky, this is such a grand sight!”</p>
<p>At once, in Black Hair Continent, Yellow Hair Continent, and White Hair Continent, there were huge commotions as all sorts of people, from beggars to royalty, looked up with enthusiastic gazes, at the stars in the sky.</p>
<p>“Each star is oozing with Immortal Gu aura, these are the components of the Immortal Gu House, Refinement Cauldron?” Fang Yuan asked in a questioning tone.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit nodded, saying regretfully: “You guessed right, it is a pity that most of the core Immortal Gu are gone, if Refinement Cauldron was intact, the chances of refining change form Immortal Gu are sixty percent!”</p>
<p>“But forget it if its lost, I am not going to repair Refinement Cauldron anyway, what can the complete Refinement Cauldron do? True strength does not lie in Immortal Gu, it depends on the Gu Immortal themselves.”</p>
<p>“Pay attention, I am about to start!”</p>
<p>At this time, the dao marks in the surrounding hundred li lit up, the sky was shining in rainbow colors.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit was high in the sky, countless Gu worms were flying around him, large numbers of mortal Gu materials were instantly refined by him, the speed was so fast Fang Yuan could barely keep up by looking.</p>
<p>In a while, Lang Ya land spirit growled: “Your turn.”</p>
<p>In an instant, Fang Yuan’s vision changed, he replaced Lang Ya land spirit in his position, floating in the air. As for Lang Ya land spirit, he was standing on the ground, watching Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>As it turned out, Lang Ya land spirit had assessed the situation and decided that this Gu refinement was going to use a dual Immortal Gu refinement method. Lang Ya land spirit was going to use the hairy man Gu refinement method, while Fang Yuan was going to process the important immortal materials. They held equal importance in this.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was amply prepared. After appearing in the sky, he waved his hands as he took out a large basin of interior rain.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit saw this and nodded, feeling slightly pleased.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was calm and collected, he had deep foundation in the basics, his methods also had an indescribable essence of profundity.</p>
<p>“This lad is worthily a reborn individual, with his previous life’s experiences, his refinement path attainment level is reaching grandmaster. But to take this final step, it will not be easy.” Lang Ya land spirit assessed.</p>
<p>The Gu refinement proceeded smoothly, all of the steps were meticulously followed. Even if accidents occurred, they were small and negligible.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan and Lang Ya land spirit made ample preparations. And because Fang Yuan and Lang Ya land spirit were not unskilled in refinement path, it was a cooperation of two experts. It was not strange to have such progress.</p>
<p>For three days and nights, Lang Ya land spirit and Fang Yuan worked without rest, their hard work paid off in the form of an incomplete Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit saw this and was overjoyed: “It seems that this first Gu refinement is likely to succeed! As long as the last few steps have no issues…”</p>
<p>Before he finished his words, the sky rumbled, thunder resounded as lightning flashed.</p>
<p>The Immortal Gu was about to form, tribulation descended!</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s expression changed, but his hands were still stable, manipulating the mystical icy flame, tempering the incomplete Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>“Don’t worry, it is merely a rank six Immortal Gu’s tribulation, it is nothi… what?!” Lang Ya land spirit’s pitch became extremely high, like a rooster held by its neck.</p>
<p>His eyes were staring wide at the rumbling tribulation lightning in the sky.</p>
<p>Before the tribulation descended, the intensity and aura had already far surpassed the standards of rank six in Lang Ya land spirit’s memories.</p>
<p>In fact, even rank seven Immortal Gu would not result in such tribulation lightning!</p>
<p>“Why did this happen?!” Lang Ya land spirit growled angrily in confusion.</p>
<p>“First supreme elder, take care of the Gu refinement, I will deal with the tribulation.” Fang Yuan gritted his teeth.</p>
<p>“No! At the crucial moment, you cannot leave, your Dog Shit Luck is protecting the Immortal Gu. Let me deal with the tribulation, everyone, form the ancient battle formation!” Lang Ya land spirit shouted.</p>
<p>As he said that, close to ten hairy man Gu Immortals flew to him. As silvery light flashed, a huge silver giant appeared again!</p>
<p>The second ranked battle formation in the Olden Antiquity Era — Heavenly Giant Solor!</p>
<p>Central Continent, Earth Abyss.</p>
<p>“Huff, huff, huff…” Ying Wu Xie breathed roughly, his eyes were red, he was like a gambler who had lost almost all his money, and was desperate to recoup his losses.</p>
<p>Since half a month ago, he had been trying to refine Fixed Immortal Travel, up until now, he had already failed eight times!</p>
<p>“Damn it, I only have two chances left.”</p>
<p>“I have the Gu formation to help me, but I still failed eight times. The human isolation style truly has lower success rate compared to the hairy man heaven and earth style.”</p>
<p>“However, even if Yu Mu Chun were still alive, I would never use the hairy man heaven and earth style. Heaven’s will wants to get rid of me, if I give it this opportunity, it will use the tribulations to attack. If a tribulation that counters the super Gu formation destroys it, there will be trouble!”</p>
<p>“Fang Yuan does not know about heaven’s will, he is using the hairy man heaven and earth style. Hehe, good luck to him.”</p>

<h1>Chapter 1068</h1>
<p>Boom! Boom! Boom!</p>
<p>Loud sounds resounded non stop as the entire sky of Cloud Cover Continent shook.</p>
<p>“This is the heavenly drum thunder tribulation!” Lang Ya land spirit said inside the ancient battle formation Heavenly Giant Solor.</p>
<p>His face was showing shock and confusion.</p>
<p>“With this heavenly drum thunder tribulation, every time thunder booms, formless astral lightning would form in the Gu Immortal’s body, destroying their intestines and organs, the force can blow up mountains and crack boulders. This is a sound path and lightning path tribulation, normal Gu Immortals cannot defend against it easily, they are also sure to die in this tribulation. However, Fang Yuan, you do not need to fear, this place is surrounded with refinement path dao marks, it is the best defense. Furthermore, I have methods to resist it, as long as Heavenly Giant Solor is around, you will be safe!”</p>
<p>While feeling anxious, Lang Ya land spirit transmitted this to Fang Yuan, he was afraid that Fang Yuan would be distracted by the tribulation, causing the Gu refinement to end up in failure.</p>
<p>Even though Lang Ya land spirit wanted to get Dang Hun Mountain, and Fang Yuan failing to refine the Gu would help in this, he was a land spirit that had to follow his promises, this was an agreement made by Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable and Long Hair Ancestor, he had to do his best to help Fang Yuan without scheming against him.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan floated in the air, completely unaffected by the rumbling thunder outside.</p>
<p>His expression was calm, his mind was also ice cool.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit’s worry was excessive, Fang Yuan had undergone so many battles, the five regions chaotic war, the battle of Yi Tian Mountain, he had experienced all of these chaotic scenes, he was immune to such interference.</p>
<p>He was composed, his fingers moved quickly, like flowers blooming, he stably proceeded with the Gu refinement.</p>
<p>Boom boom boom.</p>
<p>Every thunderous sound would cause the giant silver body of Heavenly Giant Solor to shake.</p>
<p>The hairy man Gu Immortals who formed the battle formation felt agitated, their hair was standing on end, as if an apocalypse was coming.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit snorted coldly: “I have a move that counters sound path. Behold my immortal killer move — Silent World!”</p>
<p>The silver giant shone with boundless brilliance.</p>
<p>The silvery light was sharp, like shards of the sun.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan shut his eyes in time, as he activated several defensive killer moves.</p>
<p>The silvery light flickered and vanished without a trace.</p>
<p>Silent world!</p>
<p>No more thunder was heard.</p>
<p>In the sky, dark clouds loomed as countless bolts of lightning flashed in the clouds.</p>
<p>But the thunder that accompanied every flash of lightning was gone.</p>
<p>After a long time, the sounds of thunder returned, from soft gradually to loud.</p>
<p>“With just this heavenly drum thunder tribulation’s size, even if it expands by ten times, it cannot interrupt the Gu refinement.” Lang Ya land spirit had just said this smugly when the dark clouds in the sky transformed.</p>
<p>Numerous blue light lumps shot down from the dark clouds, each light lump was a blue charm lightning shadow!</p>
<p>This was a lightning fiend, its battle strength matched rank six Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>When Hu Immortal underwent tribulation, she died because of a blue charm lightning shadow. And now, Fang Yuan had to face twenty of them!</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit’s eyes were bulging, he yelled: “What is going on? Why is there a second blue charm lightning shadow tribulation? And the size is actually twenty times of the usual!”</p>
<p>Even with Lang Ya land spirit’s long life and countless experiences, he was visibly fazed.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s heart jumped, this was so similar to the situation when he was undergoing tribulation.</p>
<p>“During my first earthly calamity, it surpassed a heavenly tribulation. This time, during change form Immortal Gu’s refinement, the same thing happened, there are actually twenty blue charm lightning shadows! If I encountered this during my earthly calamity, I would have died without question!”</p>
<p>During Fang Yuan’s first earthly calamity, the heaven and earth qi turned into some iron crown eagles, two ancient ruin bats, and countless ancient snow monsters, desolate beast snow monsters, and others…</p>
<p>In terms of size, his first earthly calamity was larger, but Fang Yuan barely passed it.</p>
<p>If he encountered this earthly calamity with twenty blue charm lightning shadows, he would not be able to live.</p>
<p>During his earthly calamity, the ancient ruin bats had just formed when Fang Yuan resolutely attacked them with his full power without hesitation, destroying them. Fang Yuan had high offense and low defense, this was making use of his advantage.</p>
<p>But if he fought against twenty blue charm lightning shadows, it would be different.</p>
<p>Blue charm lightning shadows were fast, their battle strength matched rank six Gu Immortals, even if Fang Yuan used triple layered sword wave, he could not hit them.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had rank seven and eight Immortal Gu, but they were not defensive Immortal Gu. Fang Yuan had strong attacks, but weak defensive methods, he was countered by the blue charm lightning shadows.</p>
<p>“The underlying problem is, I developed too quickly, my foundations are unstable, I have too many weaknesses now.” Fang Yuan had a thought.</p>
<p>Actually, he had discovered this problem long ago.</p>
<p>But since the battle of Yi Tian Mountain, he had been pressed for time, he had no free time to make up for these aspects.</p>
<p>Twenty blue charm lightning shadows charged at Fang Yuan together. They were so fast, like lightning, Fang Yuan only saw several blue traces before they all got near him.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit shouted in panic, using another immortal killer move.</p>
<p>The silver giant’s body was shining in light, within the pure white light, the silver giant’s body expanded until it multiplied a dozen times in size.</p>
<p>The original silver giant was already huge, with this transformation, its feet stepped on Cloud Cover Continent while its head extended up towards the heavens!</p>
<p>The silver giant’s mountain-like body shook intensely, it used another immortal killer move.</p>
<p>The blue charm lightning shadows were already at Fang Yuan’s left and right, they crashed into a sudden wall of light that appeared and were bounced back.</p>
<p>After saving Fang Yuan, the silver giant raised its hands, clasping them together to form a circle, with Fang Yuan inside.</p>
<p>Its arms were huge, they covered the surrounding space around Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>“The situation, is bad, even though my killer move can defend against blue charm lightning shadows, your refinement is still being interrupted. You need to be careful now, stronger attacks might be coming at you, if you fail to hold firm, the Gu refinement will fail!” Lang Ya land spirit transmitted again.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan nodded, he did not speak, his expression was heavy.</p>
<p>While refining Gu now, there were countless refinement path dao marks helping him, and even the remaining portion of Refinement Cauldron was in the air assisting him. But the silver giant’s battle with the blue charm lightning shadows would disturb the dao marks, causing countless tremors. These were all problems for Fang Yuan! If he made a mistake, his hard work would be wasted.</p>
<p>Bam bam bam!</p>
<p>Loud clashing sounds entered Fang Yuan’s ears.</p>
<p>The blue charm lightning shadows were like blue bees, surrounding the silver giant and attacking at its two hands.</p>
<p>They were moving quickly, while the silver giant was moving clumsily.</p>
<p>“You bunch of fools!” Lang Ya land spirit scolded.</p>
<p>He had to protect Fang Yuan and keep his arms stable, he could not be distracted, thus, the matter of resisting the blue charm lightning shadows was left to the other hairy man Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>But these hairy man Gu Immortals had low battle strength, they were unskilled in controlling the giant. Even though they did their best, the immortal killer moves they used either failed, or even if they succeeded, in the outside world, they created flashy effects but had little impact.</p>
<p>After a long time, they only killed one blue charm lightning shadow, and that was because of a lucky hit.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit did not even have the energy to yell at them.</p>
<p>“Right now, it is really bad.” He was full of worries.</p>
<p>The silver giant was created with Heavenly Giant Solor, it had expanded by more than ten times, with less defense than before. It could only take a beating while the blue charm lightning shadows attacked, it was getting more transparent, fading with time.</p>
<p>Even though Fang Yuan’s situation was stabilized, because of the outside interference, his speed fell drastically.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit estimated that with this speed, the silver giant could not last until the end.</p>
<p>He was already occupied now, while Fang Yuan was focusing on the Gu refinement, they could not fight.</p>
<p>Without external help, this refinement was bound to fail!</p>
<p>“Thankfully, this is my first try, it is okay if it fails, I have funds.” Fang Yuan’s attitude was actually rather good, he had a positive mindset.</p>
<p>When refining Immortal Gu, who could expect to succeed on the first try?</p>
<p>Fang Yuan could bear the failure, but over in Central Continent’s Earth Abyss, Ying Wu Xie had no alternatives left.</p>
<p>“This is the final chance, the final set of immortal materials, I cannot fail again!” Ying Wu Xie’s forehead was covered in sweat, he gritted his teeth.</p>
<p>He was like a wolf that was forced to the edge of the cliff.</p>
<p>Once he failed, to gather another batch of immortal materials, it would be extremely difficult.</p>
<p>“In this situation, I can only use my trump card… I can’t care less about the backlash, I need to get through this crisis first!”</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie made up his mind and activated a certain immortal killer move.</p>
<p>An intense pain assaulted the depths of his soul.</p>
<p>Under the effect of the immortal killer move, his entire soul turned into fuel and started burning. At the same time, his luck rose gradually!</p>
<p>“My main body had explored Eighty-Eight True Yang Building and created this move… luckily, I obtained rank seven soul howl Gu earlier, together with some mortal Gu, I can use this move.”</p>
<p>Determination flashed across Ying Wu Xie’s eyes.</p>
<p>He was going all in, using a huge amount of luck to help himself in refining Fixed Immortal Travel.</p>
<p>“I can definitely succeed this time!!” He screamed internally.</p>
<p>Inside Lang Ya blessed land, there was great danger.</p>
<p>The silver giant was extremely weak, it was on the verge of collapsing.</p>
<p>The hairy man Gu Immortals in the giant suffered severe injuries, some of them had burst arteries, they were spitting out blood, some had fainted while others were trembling intensely, throwing up frothy saliva.</p>
<p>They had assembled the ancient battle formation, now that the formation was damaged, the injuries were reflected onto them.</p>
<p>There were eleven blue charm lightning shadows left.</p>
<p>Be it Fang Yuan or Lang Ya land spirit, they were in despair.</p>
<p>“The next time I refine Gu, I will definitely not use the hairy man heaven and earth style!” Fang Yuan swore to himself, at this moment, he felt that the human isolation style was very wonderful.</p>
<p>“I am actually going to fail this time, my Lang Ya blessed land’s reputation is ruined, it is the fault of these tribulations that increased in strength so ridiculously!” Lang Ya land spirit was furious.</p>
<p>“Alright, it is almost time to stop.” Gu Immortal Sixth Hair thought to himself.</p>
<p>He was the spy that Shadow Sect had placed in Lang Ya blessed land, there were three of them formerly, now he was the only one left.</p>
<p>He was the one communicating with Ying Wu Xie, giving him the information about Fang Yuan and the blessed land.</p>
<p>While resisting the blue charm lightning shadows, he did not help much, in fact he was doing sabotage. From Shadow Sect’s perspective, they were unwilling to see Fang Yuan refine change form Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>“For the final attack, let’s use killer move one arm sacrifice!” Sixth Hair thought as he almost laughed out loud.</p>
<p>Even though this move was powerful, it would greatly weaken the silver giant. Now that the silver giant was on the brink of breaking apart, once this move was used, it would definitely collapse.</p>
<p>“If I use this move, the ancient battle formation would collapse, not only would Fang Yuan’s refinement fail, the backlash of the ancient battle formation would also kill many of the hairy man Gu Immortals. After surviving, I would be given even greater responsibilities. This is perfect, simply perfect!”</p>
<p>Cold light flashed in his eyes, the traitor Sixth Hair used one arm sacrifice resolutely!</p>
<p>One of the silver giant’s arms left its body, as it fell, a bright light was emitted.</p>
<p>“Oh no! Which idiot…” Lang Ya land spirit’s expression changed, he was about to scold.</p>
<p>Suddenly!</p>
<p>This severed arm was hit by an immortal killer move and erupted with incredible strength as it flew far away.</p>
<p>Boom!</p>
<p>With a loud crash, an intense explosion occurred, it happened to hit the surrounding blue charm lightning shadows.</p>
<p>These blue charm lightning shadows were flying around everywhere, at that moment, coincidentally, most of them were gathered together, and were hit by this explosion, they all died at once.</p>
<p>Stunning results!</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was dazed.</p>
<p>Sixth Hair was shocked: “This, this actually worked?!”</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit was also in a daze, he shouted after a while: “Good attack!!”</p>
<p>With this change, the silver giant collapsed, and the hairy man Gu Immortals were all injured. But there were only three blue charm lightning shadows left, the situation turned around quickly.</p>
<p>Just Lang Ya land spirit alone could deal with these blue charm lightning shadows.</p>
<p>Sixth Hair was in regret, he wanted to attack but Lang Ya land spirit ordered him to take care of the other hairy man Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>An hour later, Fang Yuan held the newly refined change form Immortal Gu as he stood in disbelief.</p>
<p>“The first refinement attempt succeeded?”</p>
<p>Central Continent, Earth Abyss.</p>
<p>Puff!</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie spat out blood as he fell backwards.</p>
<p>His expression was pale, he fainted at once.</p>
<p>The final attempt at refining Fixed Immortal Travel failed!</p>

<h1>Chapter 1069</h1>
<p>The butterfly fluttered its wings, it flew up and down, as jade green light scattered below its beautiful wings.</p>
<p>Eventually, it landed on the tip of Fairy Zi Wei’s slender white finger.</p>
<p>Fairy Zi Wei looked at this jade butterfly deeply, smiling as she said: “This is Fixed Immortal Travel?”</p>
<p>“Precisely.” An old female Gu Immortal beside her said expressionlessly.</p>
<p>This old woman had a hunched back, she was bending down, her hair was yellow like wheat, her face was wrinkled and her eyes were blurry.</p>
<p>She wore a brown-yellow robe, there was a ring of sand around her waist.</p>
<p>Fairy Zi Wei turned around, expressing her gratitude sincerely: “Merely a rank six Immortal Gu, it actually needed a refinement path great grandmaster like Granny Sha to refine, this was truly its honor.”</p>
<p>This old female Gu Immortal was a member of Heavenly Court, she had recently woken up.</p>
<p>She had rank eight cultivation level, she was several thousand years old, there were no records about her age, but there were such antiques in Heavenly Court, except that her refinement path great grandmaster status was very rare.</p>
<p>Fairy Zi Wei knew a bit more.</p>
<p>She was a wisdom path Gu Immortal, she could deduce many secrets from small clues.</p>
<p>She knew that this Granny Sha had little lifespan, she had to sleep in Heavenly Court to delay the arrival of her death. But she and Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord were from the same generation, they were even in a relationship during their younger years.</p>
<p>During the battle of Yi Tian Mountain, Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord sacrificed himself and died, this alarmed Granny Sha, she took the initiative to end her hibernation and woke up.</p>
<p>Granny Sha looked at Fixed Immortal Travel in Fairy Zi Wei’s hand as she sighed deeply: “I am an old woman with half my body inside the coffin, what honor is there? By refining Fixed Immortal Travel this time, can I really help you to capture that Fang Yuan?”</p>
<p>Refining Fixed Immortal Travel needed the crucial immortal material, the light of the immemorial era.</p>
<p>By this era, it could no longer be found by normal Gu Immortals, but Heavenly Court was an exception.</p>
<p>This was the number one Gu Immortal organization in the world, present since the Remote Antiquity Era, it had been in a leading role throughout history, arrogantly looking down on all five regions.</p>
<p>Wind Cloud Manor was only a sect under Heavenly Court, but they already had the light of the immemorial era in their inventory, Heavenly Court’s own treasury undoubtedly had more.</p>
<p>Thus, Granny Sha could rush to refine Fixed Immortal Travel without lacking immortal materials.</p>
<p>This was the foundation of Heavenly Court after being around for three million years!</p>
<p>Towards Granny Sha’s question, Fairy Zi Wei smiled: “This is the result of my deduction, I have sixty percent assurance.”</p>
<p>Surprise flashed across Granny Sha’s eyes: “You and tower lord are wisdom path Gu Immortals on par with one another, with sixty percent assurance, there is a need to try.”</p>
<p>Fairy Zi Wei nodded lightly: “To speak the truth, I was able to deduce because of luck, as I had gotten some crucial information. Fang Yuan having Fixed Immortal Travel and Spring Autumn Cicada is no longer a secret. Some time ago, we captured a demonic path Gu Immortal, Gong Sun Liang, we learned about the boss who had borrowed Gu from him. Next, we investigated several areas that Fang Yuan might have appeared in, one of them was pot river. At Wind Cloud Manor, Gu Immortal Feng Chan Zi stole the light of the immemorial era from their treasury and sold it to an outsider.”</p>
<p>“Thus, you deduced that Fang Yuan’s Fixed Immortal Travel has already been destroyed, right?” Granny Sha asked.</p>
<p>“That was a possibility, but looking at the result, we were right.” Fairy Zi Wei answered.</p>
<p>“That Fang Yuan has many Immortal Gu, Spring Autumn Cicada has already been sealed, while Fixed Immortal Travel is with us. This way, it is much easier to capture him.” Granny Sha said.</p>
<p>Fairy Zi Wei shook her head, she sighed lightly: “Actually, Fixed Immortal Travel is not a problem. It is merely a rank six Immortal Gu, there are too many ways to deal with it.”</p>
<p>“That’s right.” Granny Sha agreed: “It is almost impossible to raise Fixed Immortal Travel to rank seven or eight. The light of the immemorial era needed is too much, even in Heavenly Court’s treasury, we can only try to refine the rank seven version three times. As for rank eight Fixed Immortal Travel, it is consigned to history.”</p>
<p>During the Immemorial Antiquity Era, there was an unlimited amount of light, but now, it was an extinct immortal material.</p>
<p>But Fixed Immortal Travel required the light of the immemorial era to refine.</p>
<p>Rank six Fixed Immortal Travel could not transport rank seven Gu Immortals, not to mention rank eights.</p>
<p>These Gu Immortals had plentiful dao marks in them. To transport them using Fixed Immortal Travel was like asking a baby to carry an elephant.</p>
<p>Unless there was a Gu Immortal specialized in space path, or if a special immortal killer move was used.</p>
<p>But such a situation was extremely rare, in general, Fixed Immortal Travel was capped at rank six, even though it had a great effect, it had little use to rank seven and eight Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>Granny Sha continued: “Actually, in Heavenly Court’s history, we have owned Fixed Immortal Travel multiple times. In most situations, we gave them to the lower sects for use, and because of tribulations and others reasons, they were lost. Once, Fixed Immortal Travel was in the hands of Heavenly Court Gu Immortal Liang Liang, he raised it to rank seven. This person cultivated space path alone, but during the rampage of immemorial desolate beasts, he battled and died, the rank seven Fixed Immortal Travel was destroyed during that time.”</p>
<p>Rank six Fixed Immortal Travel was treasured by Fang Yuan, but in the Heavenly Court Gu Immortals’ eyes, it was almost an unnoteworthy object.</p>
<p>It was unusable, thus in many situations, it was given to the ten ancient sects, so that they could display its greatest worth and control the situation in Central Continent.</p>
<p>To think that Fang Yuan relied on Fixed Immortal Travel to create so much trouble in the world.</p>
<p>It was still the same saying —</p>
<p>There was no strongest Gu worm, only strongest Gu Master (Gu Immortal)!</p>
<p>The effect of a Gu worm not only depended on the Gu worm itself, the more important reason was the user, the Gu Master.</p>
<p>Fairy Zi Wei continued: “Rushing to refine Fixed Immortal Travel and sealing Spring Autumn Cicada merely cut Fang Yuan’s wings. The true problem is finding his hiding spot. Now, I will deduce with my full strength and find him in Central Continent. Granny Sha, I will need your help to refine Immortal Gu and restore Heaven Overseeing Tower.”</p>
<p>Granny Sha nodded and said in a heavy tone: “Tower lord is dead, I couldn’t save him. But I can rebuild Heaven Overseeing Tower, I am sure he would rest in peace behind the door of life and death if he knows this. Goodbye.”</p>
<p>Granny Sha said this as Fairy Zi Wei summoned another Gu Immortal, Myriad Tidal Dragon.</p>
<p>“Feng Chan Zi almost made a great blunder through this selfish use of public assets. It seems that Central Continent has been peaceful for too long, the sects are all complacent and rotting, how can such scoundrels be allowed to tarnish the reputation of Heavenly Court? Punish him to guard Hidden Dragon Cave and Di Zang Sheng for twenty years. If that Evil Dragon manages to move even a bit, he would be failing his duties, we will take his life as punishment.” Fairy Zi Wei said as cold light flickered in her eyes.</p>
<p>Myriad Tidal Dragon nodded as he frowned slightly: “What about Old Man Bei Feng?”</p>
<p>Feng Chan Zi was Old Man Bei Feng’s grandson, he was very doted on. Most importantly, with Old Man Bei Feng’s accumulated achievements and battle strength potential, he could already rise to Heavenly Court and become one of its members.</p>
<p>Among the ten great ancient sects of Central Continent, not all rank eight Gu Immortals can ascend to Heavenly Court and become members. One had to be exceptional.</p>
<p>Fairy Zi Wei smiled: “If Old Man Bei Feng wants to come to Heavenly Court, I will personally welcome him. But his grandson will now be guarding Hidden Dragon Cave, with Feng Chan Zi’s rank six cultivation level, he cannot deal with it. Since nobody in Heavenly Court is willing to take care of that mess, we will let Old Man Bei Feng handle it.”</p>
<p>After pausing for a while, Fairy Zi Wei continued: “I called you here today because I deduced many identities of Defy’s members, I want you to go personally and capture a number of them, so that I can get more clues.”</p>
<p>“Understood.” Myriad Tidal Dragon accepted the order.</p>
<p>Now that Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord was dead, as the only remaining wisdom path great grandmaster, Fairy Zi Wei was tasked to lead Heavenly Court.</p>
<p>A wisdom path Gu Immortal was most suited for this job.</p>
<p>Of course, she was only leading Heavenly Court temporarily.</p>
<p>Heavenly Court Gu Immortals had equal status, not one of the rank eight Gu Immortals had absolute authority, they had to discuss matters between all of them. Unless there was an Immortal Venerable leading them, that would be a different story.</p>
<p>“Granny Sha is rebuilding Heaven Overseeing Tower.”</p>
<p>“Myriad Tidal Dragon is outside capturing the members of Defy.”</p>
<p>“Wei Ling Yang is internally investigating Heavenly Court and modifying our investigative methods, times are different now, we cannot let more traitors come in.”</p>
<p>“Now, I will go all out to deduce Fang Yuan’s location. We cannot stall this!”</p>
<p>Thinking of this, Fairy Zi Wei’s brows rose slightly.</p>
<p>It seemed from the result from her last deduction, that the more she targeted Fang Yuan, the more Fang Yuan and Shadow Sect would cooperate.</p>
<p>From Heavenly Court’s perspective, Spectral Soul was the main target, they could not rest until he was dead.</p>
<p>Right now, Spectral Soul’s main body was trapped in Southern Border’s super dream realm. Heavenly Court did not (and could not) act, they could only watch as Spectral Soul died slowly in the dream realm.</p>
<p>Thus, Heavenly Court’s focus was on Fang Yuan and Shadow Sect’s remnant forces.</p>
<p>To prevent them from saving Spectral Soul.</p>
<p>Shadow Sect’s remnant forces, like Zombie Alliance, was already facing the assault of people sent by Fairy Zi Wei. Fang Yuan was her current focus, Fixed Immortal Travel was not an issue, but Spring Autumn Cicada was different.</p>
<p>If Fang Yuan went back to the past and rewrote history, what would happen?!</p>
<p>Central Continent, deep in Earth Abyss.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie woke up slowly.</p>
<p>“What happened? This is…” Ying Wu Xie was in a daze, gradually, clarity returned to his eyes.</p>
<p>He remembered everything.</p>
<p>“Damn it, I failed in refining Fixed Immortal Travel! After using my trump card, my luck rose immensely, why did I not succeed? Now, I have lost everything, and my soul’s injury is severe.” Ying Wu Xie had a pale expression as he clenched his fists.</p>
<p>He was upset, and also lost, he did not know what to do now.</p>
<p>Suddenly, the surroundings shook, Ying Wu Xie’s super Gu formation started to activate rapidly.</p>
<p>“Oh no! This is the deduction of a wisdom path great expert, the super Gu formation’s automatic defenses has been activated!” Ying Wu Xie gasped in his mind, his face turned even more pale now, without a trace of rosiness.</p>

<h1>Chapter 107</h1>
<p>The cold snow came to an end, and spring wind took its place.</p>
<p>Without realising it, winter had already passed, and the days of spring arrived.</p>
<p>The frozen mountain creek began to flow again. The ice cones under the eaves of bamboo buildings and trees were sparkling and translucent, dripping water in the sunlight.</p>
<p>In the morning, the wine tavern was quite empty, there were not many drinkers.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan sat inside at the seat near the window. According to his request, the surrounding was covered by wooden plank screens, creating a small room for him.</p>
<p>A gust of wind blew in from the window, and the fresh and fragrant smell of the earth was wedged between the air, letting people who smelled it feel carefree and pleased.</p>
<p>Jiang Ya sat opposite Fang Yuan, his face full of smiles.</p>
<p>“These are the primeval stones this time, please confirm it.” He took out four money bags, placing them on the table and pushing it towards Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>What was inside the money bag was naturally primeval stones.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan did not open them one by one, but checked their weight by holding them in his hand.</p>
<p>He had over a hundred years of experience making deals and transactions, so he could easily tell the number of primeval stones in his hands. One less and he could immediately tell.</p>
<p>This was nothing special, to be honest.</p>
<p>On Earth, there was an oil seller who placed a coin on the bottleneck and dripped oil inside, where the oil dripped in a line and entered the bottle through the tiny hole without any spillage. There was another divine shooter who could shoot tree leaves at 100% accuracy from a hundred meters away. There was also a butcher who worked for many years, using his hands to check the weight, he could tell their exact weight and when scaled, was exactly as he said.</p>
<p>How to train such a skill?</p>
<p>Nothing else but ‘practise makes perfect’!</p>
<p>Accumulation of experience, when enough, can stir up a miracle.</p>
<p>After his rebirth, this kind of experience was naturally brought over as well. Fang Yuan used his hand to check, and on finding no problems, he then took out a small cloth bag and gave it to Jiang Ya.</p>
<p>Jiang Ya received it with both hands and opened the bag, checking the quantity carefully.</p>
<p>Although Fang Yuan had nine vitality leaves in his possession, he did not plan to sell it himself. If it was Gu Yue Dong Tu, he would rather do this to sustain his social relationships and increase his influence.</p>
<p>But Fang Yuan was reluctant to do this. It wasted too much time and effort. Thus, he sold them all to Jiang Ya who was a shop owner, so Jiang Ya could sell the Rank one healing grass Gu to the clansmen.</p>
<p>Jiang Ya is Jiang He’s brother, and when Fang Yuan was searching for the Liquor worm, they met before. His brother was even Fang Yuan’s half-alliance mate, thus, having him take over the transaction and sell to the clan, was a reliable method.</p>
<p>“One, two, three… nine. Indeed, it is nine vitality leaves.” Jiang Ya counted three times before closing the bag and carefully keeping the bag close to his body.</p>
<p>Next, he raised his cup, toasting to Fang Yuan. “Lord Fang Yuan, happy doing business with you, let me toast you!”</p>
<p>His gaze towards Fang Yuan carried deep admiration, even turning into a hint of jealousy.</p>
<p>A year ago, when it was also spring. The first time he met Fang Yuan, the latter was still a student at the academy, not even having the rights to wear the Gu Master’s battle attire.</p>
<p>But now, Fang Yuan was not only wearing battle attire, his belt was also red colour, and a square steel piece in the center of the belt — a Rank two Gu Master!</p>
<p>However, he himself was still a Rank one, carrying a green coloured belt.</p>
<p>Nevermind that, what made him jealous was, after getting the inheritance, Fang Yuan turned from a pauper into a tycoon.</p>
<p>He owned the wine tavern, bamboo buildings as well as the nine leaf vitality grass. It was all fortune that Jiang Ya would never be able to earn throughout his lifetime!</p>
<p>But, Jiang Ya did not dare to show his deep emotion of jealousy.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan sold the vitality leaves to him and allowed him to earn the difference in price. Fang Yuan is already his money tree, and Jiang Ya no longer dared to offend this junior.</p>
<p>“Sigh, comparing among people is odious……” Jiang Ya held the cup. His face was full of smiles, but in his heart, he was sighing deeply.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan raised his cup and drank it in one shot.</p>
<p>Jiang Ya’s expression although secretive, with Fang Yuan’s old fox wits, how could he not tell?</p>
<p>Fang Yuan did not put it to heart, for if Jiang Ya was not jealous, it showed that he had much greater heart, and that would make Fang Yuan think more highly of him.</p>
<p>But, he stared at Fang Yuan’s small fortune and got jealous, this showed how little his world was, insignificant. Drinking with him was solely because he still had some value to exploit.</p>
<p>Jiang Ya put down the cup, excitedly saying, “The clan’s vitality leaves are sold at fifty-five primeval stones a piece. I followed your instructions and only sold our grass Gu at fifty primeval stones, and the demand is overwhelming! Lord, why don’t you make more leaves daily, that way we can earn much more!”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan listened and slowly shook his head, rejecting outright, “No, creating nine leaves is already my limit, it is already wasting much of my cultivating time.”</p>
<p>This was the difference between Fang Yuan and a mere frog like Jiang Ya.</p>
<p>In Fang Yuan’s perspective, primeval stones were just a cultivating resource, a tool. It is all for his cultivating needs. However, Jiang Ya treated primeval stones as his life goal, thus he cultivates in order to earn more primeval stones.</p>
<p>But even if Fang Yuan only made nine leaves a day, he could earn four hundred primeval stones daily, and with the accumulation, the fortune in his hands also grew to an amazing level.</p>
<p>Seeing Fang Yuan’s rejection, Jiang Ya did not dare to push his luck, only moving his lips in pity, then continuing to pour wine for Fang Yuan enthusiastically, and then for himself.</p>
<p>“Indeed.” He exclaimed, “Lord has such great fortune, you do not have to waste time and effort daily. In my opinion, why does lord have to stay in that poor old rented flat? Why don’t you empty out a bamboo building and stay there yourself. Then marrying a beautiful wife, and having seven or eight family servants to take care of you. That is truly the dream life. Hehe.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan laughed lightly, not saying anything.</p>
<p>How could a farmer understand the ambitions of the conqueror!</p>
<p>He turned around, looking outside the window.</p>
<p>House after house, the bamboo roofs had remnant snow, bathing under the bright and beautiful light of spring. Faraway was a willow tree, the branches of yellow-green soft leaves rolling down, gently swishing in the soft spring breeze.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s gaze was slightly blank as he thought about his current predicament.</p>
<p>After solving the problem of Fang Zheng, the family asset could be said to be in the bag.</p>
<p>The White Jade Gu and Moonglow Gu were successfully refined, he now covered attack and defense. What came next was the Liquor worm.</p>
<p>But the Liquor worm was troublesome. To refine the Four Flavour Liquor worm, he needed a second Liquor worm, as well as sweet, sour, bitter and spicy — four types of wine. These things, he had no idea where to get.</p>
<p>“I definitely have to refine the Liquor worm. Without it, my progress will be slower by at least half. But to refine the Four Flavour Liquor worm, I will need to wait for the caravan and borrow that chance to showcase my White Jade Gu. That way, I can show off my true fighting strength and stop hiding my abilities.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had the Moonglow Gu and the White Jade Gu. Together with his five hundred years of combat experience, he was stronger than most Rank two Gu Masters.</p>
<p>Slightly famous group leaders like sickly snake Jiao San, if fighting one on one with Fang Yuan, might not be his match.</p>
<p>But against Chi Shan, Mo Yan and Qing Shu, Fang Yuan was still weaker.</p>
<p>One was insufficient cultivation level, Fang Yuan was only a Rank two initial stage, but they were upper or even peak stage. Next was the lack of strong Gu worms. Fang Yuan only had two battle Gu worms, but they all had at least three and even hidden trump cards.</p>
<p>Among the same age group, Fang Zheng, Mo Bei and Chi Cheng were already showing their dominance, no doubt.</p>
<p>Especially Fang Zheng, now that he had obtained the Rank two Moon Raiment, he already has the ability to fight with Fang Yuan. As time passes, his cultivation level will get higher and eventually he will leave Fang Yuan in the dust.</p>
<p>Unless Fang Yuan can fuse the Four Flavour Liquor worm and maintain the same cultivating speed as Fang Zheng.</p>
<p>As for the higher ranks, those Rank three or Rank four Gu Masters.</p>
<p>To Fang Yuan, battle results aside, even keeping his life is a difficult thing, not to mention challenging a higher rank.</p>
<p>Transcending rank was very difficult, one was that Fang Yuan did not have trump cards, and two he does not have talent. Even with his rich fighting experience, a woman cannot cook without rice, without a strong Gu worm, his experience cannot display their worth.</p>
<p>“If I can successfully fuse the Four Flavour Liquor worm, my cultivating speed will be satisfactory. But I also have to replenish my Gu worms. Defense I have White Jade Gu, offense I have Moonglow Gu, healing I have nine leaf vitality grass, but I need a movement-type and recon-type Gu, these two although are support types, they can cover up my weakness and at least triplefold my fighting strength!” Fang Yuan pondered.</p>
<p>He did not need to learn step by step, with his rich life experience, he already knew the direction to take.</p>
<p>Beside him, Jiang Ya’s voice came, “I heard, recently someone is finding trouble with you, lord? Purposely finding trouble at your bamboo building and wine tavern?”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan frowned, his train of thoughts were broken.</p>
<p>But Jiang Ya was right.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had investigated, this was his uncle Gu Yue Dong Tu’s act.</p>
<p>After Gu Yue Qing Shu warned his uncle, he did not dare to use Fang Zheng to instigate trouble anymore. But after waiting for a while, the indignance and anger in his heart rose, and using his relationships, he got a few Gu Masters to find trouble at Fang Yuan’s places.</p>
<p>People who do business hate these kinds of problems.</p>
<p>Thus, recently, he had been finding time to look after the locations.</p>
<p>“Owner, someone is finding trouble again.” At this time, a clerk carried a scared expression and walked towards Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>“Oh?” Fang Yuan’s brows raised, not expecting to encounter this immediately.</p>
<p>Not waiting for Fang Yuan to react, Jiang Ya stood up abruptly, eagerly saying, “Wait a moment lord, let me go see.”</p>
<p>He walked out of the partition and came back almost immediately.</p>
<p>“It is Gu Yue Man Shi!” Jiang Ya’s expression was pale, suppressing his voice. His gaze revealed shock and worry.</p>
<p>Gu Yue Man Shi?</p>
<p>Fang Yuan did things carefully and knew the importance of information. During this period, he had gotten the information of all the Rank two Gu Masters in the clan, and memorised most of them.</p>
<p>Gu Yue Man Shi is a slightly famous Gu Master, specializing in defense and having a great strength, being the Man Shi group’s leader. In terms of fame, he was higher than Jiao San by a little.</p>
<p>Bam!</p>
<p>Smashing sound came from outside.</p>
<p>Thereafter, a coarse and arrogant voice resounded, “Blah, what sort of wine is this? Tastes like horseshit, you dare sell this to me?”</p>
<p>“Hmph!” Fang Yuan’s gaze shone with cold light as he stood up.</p>

<body>
<h1>Chapter 1070</h1>
<p>In Central Continent, who would deduce Ying Wu Xie?</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie’s first thought was Heavenly Court.</p>
<p>The number one Gu Immortal force in the world since the Remote Antiquity Era.</p>
<p>The Heavenly Court that three Demon Venerables could not take down.</p>
<p>The Heavenly Court that had three generations of Immortal Venerables leading it.</p>
<p>Even when Spectral Soul Demon Venerable was invincible in the world, he did not attempt to attack Heavenly Court.</p>
<p>The supreme Heavenly Court!</p>
<p>As the super Gu formation continued to run, resisting the wisdom path deductions of the mysterious great expert, the entire Gu formation was shining in dark eerie light, it was cracking under the pressure.</p>
<p>“In just a short time, who is it that has made the super Gu formation so overworked? Only Heavenly Court’s wisdom path great expert can do it!” Ying Wu Xie’s expression was pale, his back was covered in sweat.</p>
<p>After Spectral Soul Demon Venerable died, and he returned to the door of life and death, Shadow Sect had existed, having been developed over a hundred thousand years, achieving its peak due to immaculate planning, but after the battle of Yi Tian Mountain, the losses were terrible, only some remnant forces were left. Now, Spectral Soul was stuck in the dream realm, only Ying Wu Xie was left as the final hope.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie knew deeply how heavy the burden on him was.</p>
<p>If he was deduced, without Fixed Immortal Travel to teleport and escape, he would definitely be assaulted by a large number of Heavenly Court Gu Immortals, until he died.</p>
<p>“Never mind if I die, but my main body will fall into a desperate situation. I, Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, will die for real! I will become history. I am not resigned to that fate!”</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie howled, he struggled to get up.</p>
<p>He invested his attention and immortal essence into the super Gu formation.</p>
<p>The Gu formation started to become more stable, the eerie light flowed like water, moving in the formation, the cracking sounds also became softer.</p>
<p>With a Gu Immortal controlling it, the Gu formation could display a completely different level of power!</p>
<p>Earlier, this super Gu formation did not have Ying Wu Xie controlling it, but it could still defend against Fairy Zi Wei’s deductions. With Ying Wu Xie’s support, its might rose by more than ten times, the situation was under control.</p>
<p>But Ying Wu Xie’s situation was becoming worse.</p>
<p>He had just woken up, his condition was not good.</p>
<p>Because the Gu refinement failed, and he used his trump card killer move to increase his luck, his soul was severely injured.</p>
<p>After waking up, he controlled the super Gu formation without rest, he did not even have time to heal his injuries.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie controlled the super Gu formation for a while, he felt dizzy and saw stars in the air, his body was shaking as he almost fainted again.</p>
<p>“No! This super Gu formation is hard to control, we have to defend against the wisdom path deduction, my mental energy is severely drained, I cannot continue resisting it.”</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie’s heart sank.</p>
<p>“Shi Nu! Hei Lou Lan!” He called, left with no choice, he told these two the secret method to manipulate the super Gu formation and let them control it.</p>
<p>A while later, he could not endure it anymore, he fainted.</p>
<p>“Master!” Shi Nu was very loyal, after being able to control the super Gu formation, he found that Ying Wu Xie’s situation was bad and quickly used the Gu formation to heal Ying Wu Xie.</p>
<p>Hei Lou Lan was in charge of defending against Fairy Zi Wei’s deduction.</p>
<p>The situation was stable again.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie finally woke up again.</p>
<p>He was in a better state, once he woke up, he asked: “How long was I unconscious for?”</p>
<p>Shi Nu replied: “Two days and three nights, master.”</p>
<p>“Did they stop the deduction?” Ying Wu Xie asked again.</p>
<p>“Not even once.” Hei Lou Lan transmitted.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie’s expression was grim, his heart sunk to rock bottom: “Two days and three nights of deduction without stopping, the other party is indeed a wisdom path great expert of Heavenly Court, their wisdom path attainment can match Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord! Sigh, Heavenly Court…”</p>
<p>Heavenly Court’s foundation was too deep.</p>
<p>It had been under the rule of three Immortal Venerables, with countless rank eight Gu Immortals joining throughout history. Shadow Sect had developed for a hundred thousand years, it had a huge force, but compared to Heavenly Court, its foundation was too shallow.</p>
<p>Shadow Sect had researched for tens of thousands of years, they found an opportunity coincidentally and paid a heavy price to send the traitor Lian Jiu Sheng into Heavenly Court.</p>
<p>But Lian Jiu Sheng could not get much intel after joining Heavenly Court.</p>
<p>Most of Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals were sleeping, they rarely were active.</p>
<p>However, just the small amount of information obtained, showing a portion of Heavenly Court’s power, made Shadow Sect feel great trepidation.</p>
<p>The biggest concern was Heavenly Court’s rank nine fate Gu. This Immortal Gu was only damaged during Red Lotus Demon Venerable’s time, it was not completely destroyed.</p>
<p>Using rank nine fate Gu as the core, the rank nine Immortal Gu House Heaven Overseeing Tower had incredible might, it could truly oversee everything. Its range of detecting fate escapees spanned over the whole five regions, along with white heaven and black heaven, it was a shocking scope.</p>
<p>The second concern was that Heavenly Court’s grotto-heaven was free from tribulations, seemingly because it had devoured large numbers of fragments of the seven broken immemorial heavens.</p>
<p>Finally, Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals had unfathomably deep research regarding immortal apertures. In this regard, even Spectral Soul could only gasp in amazement.</p>
<p>Any rank eight Gu Immortal who joins Heavenly Court would first have to contribute their immortal aperture, and combine it into Heavenly Court’s grotto-heaven. When they go outside of Heavenly Court, they would be given a mystical phantom aperture for storing immortal essence and Gu worms.</p>
<p>This method was among the deepest secrets of Heavenly Court, it was the work of Primordial Origin Immortal Venerable! After rank eight Gu Immortals fuse their immortal apertures into Heavenly Court’s grotto-heaven, they would be free from tribulations, they could also sleep and slow down the loss of their lifespan.</p>
<p>Heavenly Court was created three million years ago during the Remote Antiquity Era. By now, it had the grotto-heavens of three Immortal Venerables, along with countless rank eight Gu Immortals’ grotto-heavens, they were all fused into Heavenly Court.</p>
<p>Thus, the size of Heavenly Court’s grotto-heaven was unbelievable, the amount of resources in immortal materials inside was immeasurable. With just these resources, Heavenly Court was self-sufficient, it did not need anything from the five regions.</p>
<p>It was unknown just how many rank eight Gu Immortals were sleeping inside Heavenly Court, or even how many members there actually were in Heavenly Court.</p>
<p>But just by thinking about it, one could understand the terrifying might lurking in Heavenly Court.</p>
<p>However, since ancient times, lifespan Gu had been the traditional way to gain lifespan. For the Heavenly Court Gu Immortals to use sleep to extend their lives, there was definitely a drawback. But Lian Jiu Sheng had never uncovered what this drawback was, it was among Spectral Soul’s greatest regrets.</p>
<p>Compared to Heavenly Court, Shadow Sect with a hundred thousand years of foundation was too weak. Shadow Sect was like an iceberg, Zombie Alliance, which was scattered over all five regions, was just the tip of the iceberg. Old Man Yan Shi, Bo Qing, and Purple Mountain True Monarch, were hidden under the iceberg. As for Heavenly Court, it was the sea that carried the iceberg. The sea was unfathomably deep, even though the iceberg floated on the sea, nobody knew what was hiding inside the sea, or what ferocious creatures were dwelling below. Maybe the Gu Immortals were already dead, but nobody knew the truth, and they were not going to find out either.</p>
<p>Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord, Lian Jiu Sheng, Bi Chen Tian, Fairy Zi Wei, Granny Sha, they were all rank eight Gu Immortals who joined Heavenly Court in the last thousands of years. The depths of the sea was not explored yet, these were just huge waves on the surface.</p>
<p>“Master, what do we do now?” Shi Nu asked.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie fell into deep contemplation.</p>
<p>He racked his brains, thinking hard!</p>
<p>At the moment, Fairy Zi Wei’s deduction was like a long spear forcing Ying Wu Xie and the rest to raise their shield and defend against (the super Gu formation). Even though it was powerful and could block Fairy Zi Wei’s deduction, this way, by controlling the super Gu formation, Ying Wu Xie and the rest were restricted from doing anything else.</p>
<p>And just defending themselves was too passive, they were going to lose eventually, it was not a wise decision.</p>
<p>“Heavenly Court targeted me not only to deal with Shadow Sect, but also because they want to pursue Fang Yuan. My body is originally Fang Yuan’s, in a way, I am shielding him from this disaster.”</p>
<p>“It is very strange that I failed to refine Fixed Immortal Travel this time. I had ten chances and extremely high luck in the final one. Even if my luck was split, the chances of success are still very high. Fang Yuan could succeed his refinement even in that situation. My situation was far better than his, yet I still failed. I am afraid Fixed Immortal Travel has already been refined by someone. If that is so, it is likely Heavenly Court!”</p>
<p>At this time, over in Lang Ya blessed land, the traitor Sixth Hair had already sent a letter of apology to Ying Wu Xie.</p>
<p>Thus, Ying Wu Xie had a clear understanding of Fang Yuan’s situation.</p>
<p>“It seems I can only sacrifice a rook to save the king.” Ying Wu Xie had a resolute expression.</p>
<p>He decided to abandon his subordinates to obtain a chance to escape.</p>
<p>Using the super Gu formation, his aura could be concealed for some time, Fairy Zi Wei’s deductions would be drawn to the super Gu formation.</p>
<p>This way, Ying Wu Xie could escape in the meantime, going through the regional walls and leaving Central Continent.</p>
<p>Central Continent was a tiger’s den, there were too few remnant forces of Shadow Sect. Leaving this place and going to any of the other four regions would be a huge help to Ying Wu Xie.</p>
<p>“I failed to refine Fixed Immortal Travel, but I am only a rank six bottom-tier immortal zombie, it is far easier for me to pass the regional walls compared to rank sevens and eights. Now, I can only work hard to travel the four regions and gather my remnant forces. Even if Heavenly Court has the rank six Fixed Immortal Travel, those rank eight Gu Immortals cannot use it. Heaven Overseeing Tower has been destroyed, they cannot locate me as well.”</p>
<p>“I can only abandon this place. And to control the Gu formation, at least two rank sixes or one rank seven are needed…”</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie thought about it and decided to give up on Shi Nu, bringing Tai Bai Yun Sheng and Hei Lou Lan with him.</p>
<p>The loyalty of these three was not an issue, especially Hei Lou Lan, followed by Shi Nu, and finally, Tai Bai Yun Sheng.</p>
<p>The more important reason was that he had to pass the regional walls many times. The lower the cultivation level, the better it was when going through them. Shi Nu’s rank seven cultivation level was a burden instead.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie made his decision and executed it.</p>
<p>Shi Nu had no objections, he was utterly loyal, he even passed all of his accumulated Gu worms and the rockman tribe in his immortal aperture to Ying Wu Xie completely.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie’s immortal aperture was a dead land, he kept the Gu worms while passing the rockman tribe to Hei Lou Lan, letting them live in her immortal aperture.</p>
<p>Bringing Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng, with Shi Nu left to draw the attention, Ying Wu Xie retreated, his target was the closest regional wall.</p>

<h1>Chapter 1071</h1>
<p>Boom boom boom!</p>
<p>Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, rocks were sent flying.</p>
<p>Within the dust cloud, Ying Wu Xie opened his mouth, growling.</p>
<p>His growl could not be heard by ears, but the three Central Continent Gu Immortals attacking them shook, their souls were also shaking intensely.</p>
<p>“Oh no! This is a soul path immortal killer move!”</p>
<p>The three Central Continent Gu Immortals quickly put up their defenses.</p>
<p>“Retreat!” Using this prime opportunity, Ying Wu Xie called this out as he led Tai Bai Yun Sheng and Hei Lou Lan to fly away.</p>
<p>The Central Continent Gu Immortals soon regained their senses, but Ying Wu Xie and the rest were nowhere to be seen.</p>
<p>“What soul path killer move is this? Amazing! At that moment, I felt that my soul was going to dissipate from the tremors alone.”</p>
<p>“These three Gu Immortals are from Northern Plains based on their aura. They are so secretive and mysterious, who are they?”</p>
<p>“They actually appeared in Earth Abyss, the territory of our Ancient Soul Sect. Are they related to the giant cave-in that happened earlier?”</p>
<p>The three Central Continent Gu Immortals had grim expressions as they communicated while healing their injuries.</p>
<p>“I have already sent this information to the sect, we are sending reinforcements now.”</p>
<p>“Chase! They are all hit by my immortal killer move, I can sense them, they cannot escape!”</p>
<p>The three Central Continent Gu Immortals stabilized their injuries and quickly chased after them.</p>
<p>After chasing them for a while, the sensation vanished.</p>
<p>The leading Central Continent Gu Immortal was troubled: “Strange! My immortal killer move was created several years ago, it can trace people, few know about it. How did they dispel it?”</p>
<p>“There are many types of Immortal Gu, through different combinations, killer moves are created. Gu Immortals have many different methods, they are uncountable in number. Maybe the other party happened to have a way to counter your immortal killer move.”</p>
<p>“This is possible but unlikely. In my opinion, it might not be dispelled, but only temporarily suppressed! Maybe they used a certain method to conceal themselves.”</p>
<p>The leader of the three immortals said: “We chased them here, but the immortal killer move’s connection vanished, there must be a reason. Did they enter someone else’s immortal aperture?”</p>
<p>An immortal aperture was a small world independent of the five regions and nine heavens.</p>
<p>When fate escapees live in blessed lands and grotto-heavens, they can avoid Heaven Overseeing Tower’s detection. If Ying Wu Xie, who was hit, entered someone else’s immortal aperture, the investigative method of the leader of the three immortals would not work.</p>
<p>But entering someone else’s immortal aperture was very rare in the Gu Immortal world.</p>
<p>Firstly, the immortal aperture was extremely important in a Gu Immortal’s cultivation, few would allow others inside. Secondly, there was a drawback to this. The immortal apertures of Gu Immortals had their respective dao marks. By entering another person’s immortal aperture, their dao marks would clash, they would interfere with, obstruct, or even reject and consume each other. The actual expenditure would depend on the situation itself.</p>
<p>Normally speaking, a larger aperture storing a smaller one was more stable. Even if a smaller one was storing a bigger one, as long as their strengths were not far apart, the immortal aperture could contain Gu Immortals. But they would suffer losses in one way or another.</p>
<p>If the immortal aperture was placed outside and was connected to the heaven and earth qi, they would be a part of the five regions’ world. The immortal aperture would be far more stable, and could contain much more, or even higher cultivation level Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>If the person entering the immortal aperture had too high of a cultivation level and too many dao marks, they might cause the immortal aperture to detonate. Like the fragment worlds of the immemorial nine heavens, only people of a certain cultivation level could explore it. If they were too strong, they could not enter, forcefully going in would just destroy the small world.</p>
<p>There was also a special situation, it was regarding apertures of immortal zombies. Everyone knew that an immortal zombie’s immortal aperture was a dead land, the time inside was the same as the outside world, and the space inside was constantly crumbling, it could be seen as the dao marks in the immortal aperture breaking apart, it was the process where they returned to the body.</p>
<p>Thus, even if an immortal zombie’s dead aperture enters a Gu Immortal, there would not be any dao mark resistance, the only problem would be that the dead land would crumble more quickly, and the dao marks would return to the zombie body at a faster rate.</p>
<p>The leader of the three immortals had anticipated this situation, thus, he made Ying Wu Xie, Tai Bai Yun Sheng, and Hei Lou Lan all afflicted by his immortal killer move. No matter who entered which immortal aperture, one person would be left, they would be detected.</p>
<p>The leader of the three immortals suddenly had a thought: “Don’t tell me, someone placed their immortal aperture while the other two entered the immortal aperture along with them?”</p>
<p>“It is easy for a Gu Immortal to regather their immortal aperture, but placing it down takes time, there would be a commotion. How can they do it so quickly without making a disturbance? But… Gu Immortals have countless methods, there are all sorts of geniuses in this world, they might have a certain method to quickly place down the immortal aperture?”</p>
<p>This Central Continent Gu Immortal thought a lot, but could not discern anything relevant.</p>
<p>But this did not affect his actions.</p>
<p>“My connection was severed here, rather than chasing them endlessly, I should stay here and investigate, maintaining the area and letting our wisdom path Gu Immortals in the sect deduce.” The Central Continent Gu Immortal said.</p>
<p>His suggestion was well received, the other two nodded without objecting.</p>
<p>“They are not leaving, it seems they are staying here.” Inside the super Gu formation, Tai Bai Yun Sheng looked outside and sighed.</p>
<p>“These three rank seven Gu Immortals are from Ancient Soul Sect, sent here to investigate the huge cave-in. Master, it was fortunate that you could escape. Please heal your injuries.” Shi Nu urged.</p>
<p>Hei Lou Lan sank into silence.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie’s expression was very ugly, he said in a hoarse voice: “To think that three Gu Immortals are waiting here for me!”</p>
<p>He had decided to make a sacrifice to protect his major interests, but to think that shortly after leaving, these three Ancient Soul Sect Gu Immortals appeared and fought with them, Ying Wu Xie and the rest were outmatched, they could only return to the super Gu formation.</p>
<p>With the concealment of the super Gu formation, the immortal killer move that was used on Hei Lou Lan and the others became temporarily ineffective.</p>
<p>The three rank seven Gu Immortals from Ancient Soul Sect were flying above the super Gu formation, but because the super Gu formation was extraordinary, it not only concealed them but also concealed all their aura, being in phantom form, it did not have any physical state, the three Central Continent Gu Immortals could not detect anything.</p>
<p>“What do we do now?” Hei Lou Lan thought to herself, looking at Ying Wu Xie with an inquisitive gaze.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie turned his face around, his gaze flickered uncertainly, after thinking about it, he made up his mind, he gritted his teeth: “In this desperate situation, I can only do this!”</p>
<p>A moment later, in treasure yellow heaven.</p>
<p>One pillar of treasure light shot into the sky, it was thick and large, attracting countless gazes the moment it appeared.</p>
<p>“What kind of treasure can lead to such amazing treasure light?!”</p>
<p>“Immortal Gu, it’s an immortal Gu!”</p>
<p>“Someone is using treasure yellow heaven to transport Immortal Gu again? So extravagant.”</p>
<p>Countless wills and Gu Immortals who happened to be around were talking about it. This familiar scene made them think of earlier, when Lang Ya land spirit used treasure yellow heaven to send Fang Yuan his sword path Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>But soon, the commotion exploded among the people.</p>
<p>The Gu Immortal’s will publicly announced: This Immortal Gu was to be sold openly, anyone could buy it, but they had to use Immortal Gu to exchange for it, or collect enough immortal materials provided in the list to trade.</p>
<p>All of the Gu Immortals were shaken!</p>
<p>Exchanging Immortal Gu for Immortal Gu was normal, it was also nearly the only way of transacting Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>But to think that this transaction could also be done using immortal materials.</p>
<p>This was shocking and surprising.</p>
<p>At once, the whole of treasure yellow heaven went into chaos!</p>
<p>Central Continent, Eastern Sea, Western Desert, Northern Plains, Southern Border, Gu Immortals from all five regions revealed deep interest towards this Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>Especially when they realized that the immortal materials on the list were not absurd. As long as they collected the immortal materials and exchanged for this Immortal Gu, they would profit without fail!</p>
<p>As time passed, a sudden Immortal Gu transaction caused a huge commotion in treasure yellow heaven.</p>
<p>More and more Gu Immortals heard about this and placed their attention here, asking for the price.</p>
<p>The price was very fair, countless Gu Immortals were moved.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie smiled coldly as he saw this.</p>
<p>The seller of the Immortal Gu was none other than him.</p>
<p>Immortal Gu were usually not sold, because refining Gu was hard, and Immortal Gu were unique, even a hundred portions of immortal materials might not successfully refine the Gu.</p>
<p>But Ying Wu Xie was forced to his wits’ end, he had no choice but to choose to sell Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>He had immortal killer moves and Immortal Gu recipes in his mind, they were all given to him by Spectral Soul’s will within the red lotus in the river of time.</p>
<p>Because the will carried in Spring Autumn Cicada was limited, this information was chosen carefully and given to Ying Wu Xie. All of it was precious and had great value.</p>
<p>He could not sell these, they were all useful in saving his main body. If they were sold, his secrets would be exposed, they could not be sold.</p>
<p>He could not sell these things, and his cultivation resources had been exchanged for immortal materials, which were used up when refining Fixed Immortal Travel. Then, Ying Wu Xie had only one choice left, that was to sell Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>He had quite a number of Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>They were mostly from Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>He was selling one of Fang Yuan’s Immortal Gu, iron crown eagle strength Gu.</p>
<p>In the current Gu Immortal world, even though strength path Gu Immortals were rare, this Immortal Gu still drew a lot of attention. Because its price was not high, many rank six Gu Immortals without Immortal Gu could bear the cost.</p>
<p>“As I expected! By selling this iron crown eagle strength Gu first to cause a commotion, I can raise the prices later when I sell other Immortal Gu!” Ying Wu Xie snickered internally.</p>
<p>Central Continent, Heavenly Court.</p>
<p>“Fairy Zi Wei, do you know about the situation in treasure yellow heaven?” Granny Sha used Gu worms to transmit and ask Fairy Zi Wei.</p>
<p>Fairy Zi Wei had been trying to deduce the location of ‘Fang Yuan’.</p>
<p>But she did not know that Fang Yuan’s soul and body were separated.</p>
<p>Most of her deductions were focused on Ying Wu Xie, who was closest to her. Fang Yuan was inside Lang Ya blessed land, and they were separated by two regional walls, her capability in deducing him was minimal.</p>
<p>After getting Granny Sha’s reminder, Fairy Zi Wei smiled, stopping her deduction: “Selling iron crown eagle strength Immortal Gu in treasure yellow heaven? And he wants to use space path Immortal Gu like Fixed Immortal Travel in exchange? It seems that Fang Yuan has been pushed into a corner, he has no choice but to do this.”</p>
<p>“It is a pity… if it were anyone else, treasure yellow heaven cannot be disrupted. But Heavenly Court is an exception. Open the treasury, I am going to make a transaction with treasure yellow heaven’s heavenly spirit!”</p>
<p>Treasure yellow heaven’s heavenly spirit was extremely proud and rarely showed itself. It ignored even Heavenly Court and had once resigned itself to death rather than giving in to a venerable’s threat, making them helpless.</p>
<p>The huge Heavenly Court could not force treasure yellow heaven to stop Ying Wu Xie from making transactions, that was impossible.</p>
<p>But Fairy Zi Wei was very confident in this.</p>

<h1>Chapter 1072</h1>
<p>Southern Border.</p>
<p>Shang Liang Mountain.</p>
<p>The sun was high in the sky, shining brilliantly. There were lots of people on Shang Liang Mountain, the atmosphere was lively.</p>
<p>Rank four peak stage Gu Master Shang Bu Li stood at the mountain peak, attracting almost everyone’s attention.</p>
<p>Even though Shang Bu Li was an experienced veteran, at this moment, he was feeling anxious.</p>
<p>Because right now was Shang clan’s ceremony, it had huge significance. All sorts of people were attending, Tie clan, Yi clan, Wu clan, Hou clan, and all the other representatives of Southern Border’s super forces, even experts from the demonic path and lone cultivators were here. The elites of Southern Border were all gathered for this, it was a grand event.</p>
<p>Shang clan was different from the other super forces, that was because of Shang clan’s battle stage policy. The other super forces’ battle stages were meant for their clansmen, while Shang clan’s battle stage could also take in demonic cultivators and lone cultivators.</p>
<p>Shang clan’s foundation was in trading, its main base was Shang Liang Mountain. Deals could be made with anyone, it was the biggest connector of the righteous path, demonic path, and lone cultivators.</p>
<p>This was not just among the Gu Masters, the same applied to the Gu Immortal world.</p>
<p>Shang clan’s Gu Immortals were usually the middlemen of righteous path and demonic path transactions.</p>
<p>Seeing that Shang Bu Li appeared, the countless Gu Masters on Shang Liang Mountain realized that this ceremony of Shang clan was about to begin.</p>
<p>The entirety of Shang Liang Mountain became quiet, Shang Bu Li felt his pressure intensifying.</p>
<p>He took in a deep breath, he forced himself to calm down as he declared loudly: “Shang clan leader’s succession ceremony, begin—!”</p>
<p>At the next moment, grand music was played, countless birds and peacocks flew around, golden flowers were raining down from the sky, it was a glorious scene.</p>
<p>From the interior of Shang Liang Mountain, a long clear rainbow road extended outwards.</p>
<p>A splendidly dressed girl walked on the clear rainbow road, appearing in front of everyone.</p>
<p>She had silky jet black hair draping over her shoulders. Her eyebrows were thin like smoke, her eyes as clear as the moon. Her skin was snow-white, and her hair was tied up, wearing a beautiful dress, she walked slowly.</p>
<p>It was Shang Xin Ci.</p>
<p>At once, countless Gu Masters held their breaths.</p>
<p>“So beautiful!”</p>
<p>“This is Shang clan’s next clan leader?”</p>
<p>“This woman is so beautiful, she is truly like a fairy. Who is she?”</p>
<p>Everyone was discussing and clamoring. But these noises were all drowned by the elegant music that was being played.</p>
<p>The esteemed guests on the mountain peak from all the super forces, as well as experts from the demonic path and lone cultivators, were all looking at Shang Xin Ci as she walked in, transmitting their thoughts to each other.</p>
<p>“This woman is Shang Yan Fei’s illegitimate daughter. She does not have high reputation, her aptitude is low, and her cultivation level is also low. But in the end, she actually became Shang clan’s new clan leader! Fate truly toys with people, incredible, incredible.”</p>
<p>“During the battle of Yi Tian Mountain, countless heroes and conquerors died, the forces in Southern Border were all heavily affected, much of the power balance shifted. And Yi Tian Mountain has also become among Southern Border’s greatest mysteries after that battle.”</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>Shang Xin Ci slowly walked on the clear rainbow road.</p>
<p>Under everyone’s watchful gazes, her clothes fluttered in the air, she ascended slowly, walking towards the sky from Shang Liang Mountain’s peak.</p>
<p>Clouds gathered in the sky, light was shining brightly, gathering into a throne.</p>
<p>Everyone raised their heads to watch, Shang Xin Ci had an unmatched and elegant disposition right now.</p>
<p>“Today, in Southern Border’s Gu Master world, you are the sole main character.” Shang Qing Qing muttered, as a senior female immortal of Shang clan, she was the one who singlehandedly supported Shang Xin Ci to become the leader of Shang clan.</p>
<p>Shang Xin Ci became Shang clan leader, in order to prevent any chaos, Shang Qing Qing had concealed herself and watched in the background to control the situation.</p>
<p>“After the battle of Yi Tian Mountain, Southern Border has fallen into its biggest commotion in several hundred years. Can this girl really lead Shang clan and maintain stability, or even expand?” Shang Tan Mo asked.</p>
<p>He had the appearance of a youth, he wore a blue robe and was skinny, he was looking at Shang Xin Ci with a deep gaze of doubt and inquisitiveness.</p>
<p>Shang Qing Qing smiled: “All of the generations of clan leaders were nurtured through gaining experience. The reason why I chose Shang Xin Ci is not because of her ability, but her heart and magnanimity. Her characteristics are an advantage that gives her an unspeakable charisma, it is extremely rare in the current world. Look at the mountain peak, her subordinates are all tearing up from joy, they are so loyal and trusting towards Shang Xin Ci. But actually, these people that she took in had varied backgrounds, they were a chaotic bunch but now they are all on the same side.”</p>
<p>“Oh?” Shang Tan Mo heard this and was moved, he knew that Shang Qing Qing chose this girl to be the clan leader not just because of her personality, but because she had also made some observations and considerations over time.</p>
<p>He followed Shang Qing Qing’s indication and looked down.</p>
<p>“To think that my lady would become Shang clan leader one day. Sob sob sob… Missy, we finally did it.” Xiao Die was weeping in happiness, she was Shang Xin Ci’s trusted servant, when they were in Zhang clan, they were inseparable. She followed her in the caravan, to Shang clan city, they had gone through thick and thin, her loyalty was unmatched.</p>
<p>“Master, if you learn about this inside the door of life and death, you must be very happy. Young miss is completely different from your other children, she can definitely give a new future to Shang clan.” The servant Xiao Lan had teary eyes. She was an orphan, adopted by Shang Yan Fei when she was young, she was capable and was given to Shang Xin Ci by Shang Yan Fei. Now that Shang Yan Fei died on Yi Tian Mountain, her loyalty towards Shang Yan Fei was all transferred to Shang Xin Ci.</p>
<p>Zhou Quan was silent.</p>
<p>He was Zhou clan’s leader, he had an arrogant attitude and thought highly of himself. After Zhou clan was destroyed, he was a vagrant, surviving by opening a shop in Shang clan inner city. Afterwards, Fang Yuan forced him to go under Shang Xin Ci as a subordinate.</p>
<p>Seeing that Shang Xin Ci was sitting down on the cloud throne, Zhou Quan’s gaze was in a daze.</p>
<p>At this moment, he thought of Fang Yuan, a complex smile appeared on his face: “Black and white demons, should I be thanking you? Now that the young miss is Shang clan leader, my Zhou clan has hope to rise up again!”</p>
<p>But soon, Zhou Quan thought again: “No, reviving the clan will have to wait. Even though the young miss is a clan leader, the internal threats are huge, her situation is not stable. How can I leave her now when she needs the help of her subordinates the most?”</p>
<p>Zhou Quan was not overwhelmed by this huge ceremony.</p>
<p>He looked around at Shang Bu Li and Wan Qian Shan.</p>
<p>When Shang Yan Fei was Shang clan leader, he had five capable subordinates, they were called the five great generals of Shang clan. After the battle of Yi Tian Mountain, among the five great generals of Shang clan, only two were left, they were Shang Bu Li and Wan Qian Shan.</p>
<p>The former controlled Shang clan’s slave trade, while the latter was in charge of resource gathering, like mining, herb gathering, hunting, and others.</p>
<p>The one with Shang surname was the representative of Shang clan. The other with Wan surname was an external elder, he represented the benefits of Shang clan’s external Gu Masters.</p>
<p>“With these two experts, young miss’ internal situation in Shang clan is truly bad, she is weak while they are strong. There is even a possibility that they could make her a puppet leader by taking over secretly. Young miss’ status makes her unable to obtain the support of every clansman, she is an illegitimate daughter after all.”</p>
<p>“The internal problems are alarming, but the external problems are worse, danger is lurking everywhere. In the battle of Yi Tian Mountain, too many leaders and experts died, everything is changing, resources without owners are being contested for again! Young miss has too few resources available, be it human resources or actual goods, compared to her siblings. And she also has to deal with affairs outside the clan?”</p>
<p>“And at this critical moment, Lady Wei is leaving her too!”</p>
<p>Thinking of this, Zhou Quan looked at the female Gu Master beside him, Wei De Xin, feeling very unhappy.</p>
<p>He was the chief steward of Shang Xin Ci, he knew a lot of information.</p>
<p>Wei De Xin was the wife of Wei clan leader, she was skilled at training guards, and was pregnant, her motive was to protect her husband’s only bloodline. Because Fang Yuan targeted her weakness, threatening her, she eventually went over to Shang Xin Ci’s side, and helped her nurture a band of elite guards. At the same time, she became the leader of Shang Xin Ci’s guards.</p>
<p>But now, she had already given birth, she had successfully carried on her husband’s bloodline. Because she was always out in the open, her brother Wei Shen Jing found out. He sent a letter and urged Wei De Xin to go and serve Wu clan with him.</p>
<p>Wei De Xin was moved, after all, she was not loyal to Shang Xin Ci, she was threatened by Fang Yuan and had no choice back then.</p>
<p>But Zhou Quan did not know that, while he was worrying about the situation, Wei De Xin was also very worried.</p>
<p>Zhou Quan was once the leader of a clan, he had a good perspective of the big picture. Wei De Xin was the same, she was a clan leader’s wife, she could see further than Xiao Lan and Xiao Die.</p>
<p>“Shang Yan Fei is already dead, my enmity with Shang clan has faded.”</p>
<p>“Even though I was forced by the black demon back then, and had to serve the young miss, after this long period of time, I have come to understand her.”</p>
<p>“Young miss is… a good person. There are too few good people in this world.”</p>
<p>“Little brother, I will have to disappoint you, I cannot go to help you!”</p>
<p>“You are a hidden elder in Wu clan, even though you are ostracized, your life is safe. But here with young miss, danger lurks everywhere.”</p>
<p>Wei De Xin sighed internally.</p>
<p>“But no matter what, as the young miss’ steward, I need to think for her sake. Right now, she needs manpower, the three demonic path brothers, Xiong Tu, Xiong Huo, and Xiong Feng, must stay, we cannot let them leave.” Zhou Quan looked at three people as brilliance flashed in his eyes.</p>
<p>“No matter what, as the young miss’ personal guard, I need to think in her interests. Shang Yan Fei is dead, Shang clan only has two generals left, we need to prevent them from making her a figurehead, we need to draw in new blood. Xiao Yan… is a great choice! Not only does he have outstanding battle strength, he idolizes Wei Yang. Because of the black and white demons, Wei Yang had a good relationship with young miss, and Xiao Yan was also close to them.” Wei De Xin looked at Xiao Yan who was among the crowd as she planned.</p>
<p>In the sky, Shang Xin Ci began to speak publicly for the first time, her speech was succinct, but there was deep meaning in it, people were pondering over it.</p>
<p>This was not prepared by her of course, Wei De Xin and Zhou Quan had written her script.</p>
<p>After the speech ended, a huge wave of applause and cheers erupted, Shang Xin Ci slowly left the center of attention.</p>
<p>But the succession ceremony was not over yet, what followed would be a day and night of celebration, wine and food with songs playing, to sweep away the sadness and dejection from all the heroes’ deaths.</p>
<p>After vanishing from the sky, Shang Xin Ci directly appeared in the inner city’s mansion.</p>
<p>“So tired…” With no one watching her, she relaxed as she felt deep fatigue in her mind.</p>
<p>But she knew that now was not the time to rest, she used her Gu worms to summon her aides.</p>
<p>Xiao Lan, Xiao Die, Wei De Xin, Zhou Quan, Xiong Tu, Xiong Huo, and Xiong Feng.</p>
<p>Shang Xin Ci had arrangements to make.</p>
<p>Ye Fan walked on the road, his eyes were shining brilliantly, he walked with an imposing aura.</p>
<p>Ever since he defended Shang Xin Ci while refusing to retreat in danger, he obtained the female immortal Shang Qing Qing’s approval, he was given a superb inheritance and many Gu worms.</p>
<p>Ye Fan was troubled because he had no cultivation guidance, after getting this inheritance, his horizons expanded, he no longer lacked Gu worms, his future was bright.</p>
<p>He was considered Shang Xin Ci’s life benefactor, he could enter her mansion without anyone stopping him.</p>
<p>“To think that Lady Xin Ci became Shang clan leader… but it will not be easy as a clan leader, not to mention the leader of Shang clan. How can I, Ye Fan, abandon her?”</p>
<p>Thinking of Shang Xin Ci, Ye Fan’s heart beat quickly.</p>
<p>He was developing feelings for Shang Xin Ci, but he did not know what she felt about him.</p>
<p>He knew that Shang Xin Ci was inside her mansion, he came without an invitation.</p>
<p>Close, he was close.</p>
<p>The final door was right in front of him.</p>
<p>He could see Lady Xin Ci again…</p>
<p>Ye Fan’s footsteps became faster!</p>
<p>He stood at the door, he straightened his back as he patted his clothes, he was about to knock.</p>
<p>He heard Shang Xin Ci voice from inside: “Everyone listen to me, after becoming clan leader, there is one thing I want to do first. This has been weighing in my heart for a long time. I want to use Shang clan’s power to remove black demon, brother Fang Zheng’s, arrest warrant! Of course… that includes sister white demon as well.”</p>
<p>Ye Fan was dazed, his finger that was going to knock on the door froze in the air.</p>
<p>Shang Xin Ci was talking to her subordinates, while Shang Qing Qing and the other Gu Immortals were discussing Southern Border’s matters in Living Treasure blessed land.</p>
<p>Living Treasure blessed land was Shang clan’s public blessed land, their base camp, it was situated in the main world of Southern Border, it was very stable and could allow Gu Immortals to go in.</p>
<p>The door of this blessed land was the living treasure door, its favorite activity was digging its nose.</p>
<p>“The battle of Yi Tian Mountain has ended, Southern Border’s Gu Immortal world will be in turmoil and unrest for the next few decades.” Shang clan’s first supreme elder spoke.</p>
<p>He looked around, continuing: “Right now, our clan has three matters.”</p>
<p>“First, Zombie Alliance have vanished mysteriously over the five regions, the same goes for Southern Border’s Zombie Alliance branch. They occupied many resources, Shang clan can take them over.”</p>
<p>“Second, Yi Tian Mountain has been covered by the giant dream realm. Us righteous path forces are joining up and blockading this place, doing research while preventing demonic path or lone immortals in.”</p>
<p>“Third, Yi Tian Mountain’s shocking gambling contest ended without result, but there are huge amounts of cultivation resources left inside treasure yellow heaven. The sole participant of this gambling contest who is still alive, Gu Immortal Gua Lao, is the only person to inherit the resources. We have to take control of him!”</p>
<p>Shang clan’s Gu Immortals all nodded. The three matters mentioned by first supreme elder were the biggest matters in Southern Border’s Gu Immortal world now, countless people were concerned.</p>
<p>“I have been paying attention to treasure yellow heaven, to speak the truth…” Shang Qing Qing was about to speak, when suddenly her expression changed, she said in shock: “What happened? Treasure yellow heaven closed!”</p>

<h1>Chapter 1073</h1>
<p>Treasure yellow heaven came from Daoist Countless Treasures.</p>
<p>In the Medieval Antiquity Era, a rank eight Gu Immortal, known as Daoist Countless Treasures, acquired a fragment of yellow heaven by chance. He fused the fragment into his grotto-heaven, and formed treasure yellow heaven.</p>
<p>After a Gu Immortal’s immortal aperture absorbs a fragment of the immemorial nine heavens, it would be placed in the outside world of the five regions, and could not be moved anymore.</p>
<p>Treasure yellow heaven was the same, ever since it was placed in its location three hundred thousand years ago, it had not moved.</p>
<p>But where was treasure yellow heaven’s exact location? This was a huge mystery, people did not know. Wisdom path Gu Immortals had tried to deduce it over the years without finding the answer.</p>
<p>Treasure yellow heaven’s original owner was Daoist Countless Treasures. After him, there were no successors.</p>
<p>Even the many Immortal Venerables and Demon Venerables could not find the exact location of treasure yellow heaven.</p>
<p>“Treasure yellow heaven has existed until today, it is the number one open market in the five regions’ Gu Immortal world. Why did it close suddenly?” Shang clan’s Gu Immortals were shocked and suspicious.</p>
<p>Every since Daoist Countless Treasures created treasure yellow heaven, it had been open for three hundred thousand years, it had unknowingly become the biggest help towards Gu Immortals’ cultivation, it had an important place in the mind of every Gu Immortal.</p>
<p>For the longest time, Gu Immortals had gotten used to the existence of treasure yellow heaven. Now that it was closed, everyone was caught off guard.</p>
<p>“Why do you think that treasure yellow heaven closed suddenly?”</p>
<p>“Oh no, we are after the resources gambled in Yi Tian Mountain, now that it is closed, that huge bet is stuck in treasure yellow heaven.”</p>
<p>“Don’t tell me, treasure yellow heaven’s heavenly spirit is trying to steal this huge amount?”</p>
<p>Shang clan’s first supreme elder shook his head, he denied that idea: “Treasure yellow heaven’s heavenly spirit does not care about that bet, if it was corrupt, treasure yellow heaven would not have its reputation and status. There had never been a case of corruption in treasure yellow heaven in history. But regarding the closing of treasure yellow heaven, there have been a few instances.”</p>
<p>“Is that so? We would like to know.” Shang Qing Qing quickly asked.</p>
<p>Shang clan’s first supreme elder spoke slowly, revealing a secret.</p>
<p>As it turned out, there were some instances recorded of treasure yellow heaven closing in history, they were due to the same reason.</p>
<p>It involved fragments of immemorial yellow heaven.</p>
<p>The immemorial nine heavens were red, orange, yellow, green, azure, blue, purple, white and black. Right now, only white heaven and black heaven remained. Yellow heaven had shattered long ago.</p>
<p>Back then, Daoist Countless Treasures knew that he could not survive a coming tribulation, he used his own immortal aperture to absorb a small fragment world of immemorial yellow heaven, forming treasure yellow heaven. Even though he was trapped inside treasure yellow heaven and lost his freedom, he no longer faced any tribulations.</p>
<p>After treasure yellow heaven absorbed the immemorial yellow heaven fragment, it could only continue to expand by absorbing other yellow heaven fragments.</p>
<p>There were several transactions recorded in history.</p>
<p>Certain people had sold a fragment world of immemorial yellow heaven to treasure yellow heaven’s heavenly spirit.</p>
<p>After the heavenly spirit obtained it, it closed treasure yellow heaven and focused on absorbing the yellow heaven fragment to expand itself.</p>
<p>“This time, if there are no unexpected surprises, should also be this case.” Shang clan first supreme elder finally surmised.</p>
<p>He was right.</p>
<p>In this world, it might be that the only thing that could move treasure yellow heaven’s heavenly spirit were yellow heaven fragments.</p>
<p>The immemorial nine heavens had shattered long ago, yellow heaven fragments were nearly non-existent at this point. Only those with immense luck and opportunities could obtain them.</p>
<p>But Heavenly Court had a long history, its treasury was beyond imagination. It could take out a fragment of immemorial yellow heaven, and the size was quite large too.</p>
<p>If the amount was little, treasure yellow heaven’s heavenly spirit would not need to close treasure yellow heaven, it could absorb the fragment easily.</p>
<p>Now, treasure yellow heaven closed, the yellow heaven fragment had to be so huge that the heavenly spirit had no choice but to focus entirely on the absorption.</p>
<p>Treasure yellow heaven had been impartial all along, it did not side with anyone, it was mysterious and Heavenly Court could do nothing to it.</p>
<p>If Heavenly Court asked the heavenly spirit to reject Ying Wu Xie’s transactions openly.</p>
<p>The heavenly spirit would not respond to them, and Gu Immortals from the other four regions would not care either. With the five regional walls, Heavenly Court’s influence and control was mostly limited to Central Continent.</p>
<p>But Heavenly Court was extremely affluent, it tossed out one large yellow heaven fragment. This way, Ying Wu Xie’s plan to save himself was thwarted!</p>
<p>“Damn it! Heavenly Court actually did this!” Ying Wu Xie’s face was ruthless, he clenched his fists, veins were popping, he was gritting his teeth until a grinding sound could be heard.</p>
<p>He was furious, but with the heavy handed method used by Heavenly Court, he could not do anything but watch helplessly.</p>
<p>Guh.</p>
<p>Suddenly, Ying Wu Xie felt a rush of blood as he spat it out, falling backwards.</p>
<p>Hatred and anger filled his heart, other than that, he also felt bone-chilling coldness.</p>
<p>Heavenly Court directly sold the yellow heaven fragment cheaply, they were paying such a huge price to eliminate Ying Wu Xie, this showed their firm determination in this aspect.</p>
<p>It was a desperate situation!</p>
<p>Heavenly Court’s move had blocked Ying Wu Xie’s final way out.</p>
<p>They were too ruthless.</p>
<p>Without treasure yellow heaven, even if Ying Wu Xie wanted to sell Immortal Gu, they were stuck with him.</p>
<p>And even more disgustingly, his Immortal Gu Iron Crown Eagle Strength was still stuck inside.</p>
<p>Without the immortal materials from transactions, how can he continue to refine Gu?</p>
<p>One couldn’t cook a meal without the ingredients, without Immortal Gu, how could he get out of this situation?</p>
<p>Treasure yellow heaven closed, the heavenly spirit was absorbing the yellow heaven fragment, this was not going to end quickly. In history, the shortest period was just over two months.</p>
<p>There was no way out!</p>
<p>He could only allow Heavenly Court to deduce while he and the rest defended and stalled for time, until finally, strong foes came to find them personally, and they failed to resist them.</p>
<p>Lang Ya blessed land.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s appearance had changed, he became an immortal zombie again.</p>
<p>He had once modified nirvana fire and created a strength path immortal killer move to alternate between life and death. He could be a living Gu Immortal, or a dead immortal zombie.</p>
<p>But now, he was not using this method.</p>
<p>His strength path Immortal Gu were all lost, he could not use that strength path killer move.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s plan was simple, his soul flew out and left his body, entering the corpse of a strength path immortal zombie.</p>
<p>The corpses of these strength path immortal zombies came from Blazing Heaven Demoness. After rebirth, Fang Yuan had still asked for these to make preparation for the life-and-death immortal aperture as a failsafe, he had obtained many strength path immortal zombies from Blazing Heaven Demoness.</p>
<p>These bodies were all placed in Star Form blessed land. After Yi Tian Mountain, he had gotten them back from Lang Ya land spirit.</p>
<p>Other than these immortal zombie bodies, there were also large amounts of precious immortal materials.</p>
<p>Most of the quasi-rank nine immortal materials were obtained from the Gu formation in Earth Trench. Some of the rank seven and eight immortal materials were picked up from Falling Heavenly River. He had benefited greatly from Bo Qing’s awakening, when his sword lights traversed Central Continent.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan did not have much immortal essence or immortal essence stones, but he did not lack Gu refinement materials. But the value of these immortal materials were too high, it was inappropriate to use them now.</p>
<p>Immortal materials were not the key point, wisdom Gu was more important.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was staring at wisdom Gu for a long time, but it did not move at all, let alone emit the light of wisdom.</p>
<p>“Using other immortal zombie bodies in place of myself did not work. I cannot draw out the light of wisdom.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was not surprised at this.</p>
<p>He had already made similar experiments long ago in Hu Immortal blessed land.</p>
<p>Wisdom Gu had never been refined by Fang Yuan, he had only made an agreement with it back then because of the winds of assimilation.</p>
<p>Survival was the instinct of all living beings.</p>
<p>But wisdom Gu seemed to only respond to Fang Yuan as a whole. His body and soul were both needed to draw out the light of wisdom. If one was missing, if he only had his soul and not his body, it would not work.</p>
<p>“That means, the most direct way is to just take back my original body?” Fang Yuan thought.</p>
<p>His original body was still an immortal zombie.</p>
<p>There was no need to change anything, it was suitable to bathe in the light of wisdom.</p>
<p>But this method, although it would work, was impractical.</p>
<p>“Ying Wu Xie has already vanished… he could possibly have Spring Autumn Cicada, Fixed Immortal Travel, and other Immortal Gu. Other than that, Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng might be helping him.”</p>
<p>Earlier, Fang Yuan had no time because of the calamity. Now, every time he thought about the problem called Ying Wu Xie, he felt a deep headache.</p>
<p>“Thus, I all the more need to refine Fang Zheng into a blood deity.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s current body was created from sovereign immortal fetus Gu, he had no parents, he had no bloodline relationship to anything in this world.</p>
<p>But Fang Yuan still wanted to refine Fang Zheng into a blood deity.</p>
<p>The blood deity refined using Fang Zheng could counter Fang Yuan’s body.</p>
<p>Even if the immortal zombie body could not be taken back later, Fang Yuan could use the base of Fang Zheng’s blood deity to modify it. Or possibly, he could combine it with his soul to regain wisdom Gu’s acknowledgement.</p>
<p>Of course, this was purely Fang Yuan’s intuition.</p>
<p>But intuition was not to be underestimated, especially when Fang Yuan’s blood path attainment level was at grandmaster level.</p>
<p>When Fang Yuan was testing wisdom Gu, Lang Ya land spirit was also observing. Seeing the results, he sighed and felt much regret.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan looked towards Lang Ya land spirit in concerned fashion: “Does first supreme elder have any methods to use wisdom Gu?”</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit stared at Fang Yuan, replying petulantly: “The simplest method is to raise your cultivation level to rank nine and directly refine this wisdom Gu!”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan smiled bitterly: “I know this method too, I am asking if there are other methods?”</p>
<p>“Sigh, there is a method that isn’t a method. I can feed it with lifespan Gu continuously, after feeding it for some time, I might obtain wisdom Gu’s acknowledgement. If this method works, wisdom Gu would be mine, by then, you would have to give it to me no matter what.” Lang Ya land spirit thought about it and smiled to himself.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s eyes drooped: “Is it really fine to directly say it?”</p>
<p>“You think I want to?!” Lang Ya land spirit was stomping his feet: “Land spirits cannot lie, damn it, why did I tell you about my motives again? You accursed fellow!”</p>

<h1>Chapter 1074</h1>
<p>Fang Yuan shook his head, sighing.</p>
<p>The price of feeding wisdom Gu was too high. Only Lang Ya land spirit was willing to pay it.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan used sovereign immortal fetus Gu to revive, his age was about sixteen now. Humans in this world lived a hundred years on average, that meant that Fang Yuan had about eighty-four years of lifespan left, it was a long time.</p>
<p>But even so, Fang Yuan knew that if he obtained lifespan Gu, he would use them all on himself. Even if he did not use them, he would save them for the future in case of emergencies.</p>
<p>Lifespan Gu were mortal Gu.</p>
<p>But lifespan Gu were among the strongest forms of currency in Gu Immortal transactions, almost nothing could compare.</p>
<p>There were two obstacles in a Gu Immortal’s cultivation, one was calamities and tribulations, the other was lifespan.</p>
<p>Even if one was as strong as an Immortal Venerable or Demon Venerable, they would still be challenged by these two problems.</p>
<p>In fact, back then when Giant Sun Immortal Venerable set up Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, one of his most important goals was to ransack the lifespan Gu in the whole of Northern Plains to extend his lifespan, as for feeding wisdom Gu, it was secondary. During Giant Sun Immortal Venerable’s later years, for a long period of time, wisdom Gu was in constant hunger, it had to go into deep sleep and could not be used.</p>
<p>Later, when Spectral Soul Demon Venerable explored Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, he also found wisdom Gu. But he could not use it, or afford to feed it, lifespan Gu were hard to find, he did not have enough for himself. However, with his soul path attainment level, he could make use of aspects of other paths using his own as a foundation, he did not have much need for wisdom Gu anyway.</p>
<p>After Spectral Soul Demon Venerable died, his era ended. Thereafter, the world started to produce lifespan Gu again. And after that, another huge figure appeared in the world, that was Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable.</p>
<p>He had already searched for lifespan Gu during his later years, but lifespan Gu’s demand far exceeded the supply, it became rarer until it vanished.</p>
<p>After Paradise Earth died, a new cycle started as the world recuperated, lifespan Gu appeared again. Every ten years, Eighty-Eight True Yang Building conducted the imperial court contest, ransacking Northern Plains’ lifespan Gu, wisdom Gu was slowly fed and recuperated, until Fang Yuan destroyed Imperial Court blessed land.</p>
<p>And later, due to its survival instincts, wisdom Gu left with Fang Yuan and went to Hu Immortal blessed land. After a long series of events, it ended up in Lang Ya blessed land now.</p>
<p>“During Three Kings blessed land, I used two lifespan Gu to refine second aperture Gu. But that could not be helped. In this life, I had obtained a lifespan Gu from Blazing Heaven Demoness. But after rebirth, I lost this opportunity and have no lifespan Gu with me now. Since Blazing Heaven Demoness could give me a lifespan Gu, she definitely had more than one in her possession. But she died in the ten extreme formation, her lifespan Gu were also destroyed… Eh? No.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan thought as he recalled something.</p>
<p>“Lifespan Gu is hard to find, even an Immortal Venerable or Demon Venerable would need and desire it. Blazing Heaven Demoness was plotted against by Spectral Soul and died, her accumulated wealth must have been taken by Spectral Soul already! Even though Spectral Soul’s plan failed, the remnant forces of Shadow Sect and Zombie Alliance remain, their wealth is still immense!”</p>
<p>As for Lang Ya land spirit, he also had a number of lifespan Gu, it was quite the sum.</p>
<p>These lifespan Gu were all produced inside Lang Ya blessed land.</p>
<p>Lang Ya blessed land had a long history of over three hundred thousand years, it had lived through the era of two venerables.</p>
<p>Lang Ya blessed land was originally Lang Ya grotto-heaven, it had an incredibly huge space. After intentionally being dropped to a blessed land, because Refinement Cauldron was fused into the immortal aperture world, Lang Ya blessed land’s space increased instead, it was larger than even many grotto-heavens.</p>
<p>There were an immense number of hairy men living here, they were split into three countries, the life forms in here procreated and had generations after generations of offspring.</p>
<p>Lifespan Gu was produced from life forms.</p>
<p>Wherever life forms lived, lifespan Gu could be naturally produced.</p>
<p>With a huge space, countless inhabitants, and a long history, together with Lang Ya land spirit’s absolute control over the blessed land, whenever a lifespan Gu appeared, he could collect it immediately. With all these reasons, Lang Ya land spirit’s lifespan Gu accumulation increased continuously.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan did not know the exact number, but he could easily guess that the number was not small!</p>
<p>Ordinary Gu Immortals would need lifespan Gu, but Lang Ya land spirit did not.</p>
<p>“Activating wisdom Gu requires the Gu Immortal’s lifespan to be expended. And feeding wisdom Gu also requires lifespan Gu. For now, I should let Lang Ya land spirit feed it.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan knew about Lang Ya land spirit’s motives even without any probing.</p>
<p>This could not be helped, Fang Yuan had no lifespan Gu, he could not feed it.</p>
<p>He was in deep trouble himself, when Gu Immortals went through tribulations, they become stronger and stronger each time. Fang Yuan was worried about the next earthly calamity, he had no time to care about wisdom Gu.</p>
<p>Ever since wisdom Gu was brought away by him, Fang Yuan had not fed it once.</p>
<p>The truth was, Lang Ya land spirit was helping Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>“In any case, even if wisdom Gu acknowledges Lang Ya land spirit, it is a good thing. With my current status, I can use Lang Ya land spirit’s methods to use wisdom Gu, I will only need to pay some sect contribution points.”</p>
<p>All Gu worms were tools.</p>
<p>All of his hard work was targeted towards that illusory goal.</p>
<p>For this goal, Fang Yuan had given up too much, there was nothing he could not discard.</p>
<p>The experiment with wisdom Gu ended in failure.</p>
<p>But Fang Yuan felt no disappointment, before leaving, he asked for one thing from Lang Ya land spirit.</p>
<p>An information path mortal Gu that recorded the scene of when he refined change form Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>“This Gu refinement was very strange, the tribulations became so strong! We were lucky that we succeeded. Fang Yuan, if you find out anything, you have to tell me.” Lang Ya land spirit instructed Fang Yuan before he left.</p>
<p>“First supreme elder did not manage to find out anything, neither could I. I will do my best.” Fang Yuan answered. He had a vague guess that the tribulations gained strength due to the sovereign immortal fetus Gu. But he would not tell Lang Ya land spirit this guess no matter what.</p>
<p>Other than researching the tribulations, Fang Yuan had another goal, he wanted to investigate Lang Ya Sect, and see if there were any traitors left.</p>
<p>All along, Fang Yuan had been mindful of this.</p>
<p>Shadow Sect had sent two traitors into Lang Ya blessed land, unexpectedly having hairy man Gu Immortals. When Shadow Sect attacked Lang Ya blessed land, these two spies played an important role.</p>
<p>“But other than them, are there other spies in Lang Ya Sect?”</p>
<p>This problem was extremely important to Fang Yuan. After all, he had already joined Lang Ya Sect. For a long time in the future, he would need to depend on Lang Ya land spirit to undergo tribulations and cultivate.</p>
<p>He had just started this investigation, he did not have the time or energy until now.</p>
<p>After flying for some time, Fang Yuan was already close to his new accommodations.</p>
<p>This was a grand city.</p>
<p>Pure white city walls stood up proudly. At the peak of tall towers, flags were hanging.</p>
<p>This was a cloud city.</p>
<p>On Cloud Cover Continent, there were twelve cloud cities, each of the cities was a mortal Gu House. When activated together, they could form the twelve wave cloud confusion formation, it could cover the entirety of Cloud Cover Continent.</p>
<p>These twelve cloud cities were created from the former twelve cloud buildings.</p>
<p>The current Lang Ya land spirit liked grand appearances, he was different from the previous one.</p>
<p>The cloud city in Fang Yuan’s vision was given by Lang Ya land spirit, to be the place where he defended and lived. The other hairy man Gu Immortals, including Lang Ya land spirit himself, each occupied one cloud city.</p>
<p>There were few residents in the city, but soon, there would be more and more. Because in Lang Ya land spirit’s plan, he was going to trigger a war between the three continents and pick outstanding Gu Masters, moving them to Cloud Cover Continent for nurturing.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan flew down to the cloud city and landed.</p>
<p>Several hairy man Gu Masters quickly welcomed him.</p>
<p>They were elite hairy man Gu Masters, they were chosen by Lang Ya land spirit and sent to Fang Yuan. On one aspect, they were to take care of Fang Yuan’s daily affairs, but there was also the intention for them to receive Fang Yuan’s guidance in cultivation.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was not concerned about these hairy men. But the leader of the hairy man Gu Masters respectfully told Fang Yuan that the sixth city lord has visited Fang Yuan, he had already been in the guest room for a long time already.</p>
<p>The sixth city lord was Gu Immortal Sixth Hair, he was guarding the sixth cloud city.</p>
<p>“Why is he here?”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan felt uncertain, he came to the guest room and met with this Gu Immortal, Sixth Hair.</p>
<p>“I am Sixth Hair, greetings to second city lord. I am here today to seek guidance from you regarding combat.” Sixth Hair paid his respects as he said this.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s expression did not change, but his gaze had turned ice cold.</p>
<p>As it turned out, although Sixth Hair said that out loud, he was secretly transmitting a different message to Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>“Fang Yuan, I am here representing Lord Ying Wu Xie to make a deal with you!”</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie!</p>
<p>Shadow Sect!</p>
<p>Sixth Hair was the spy!!</p>
<p>At once countless thoughts flashed across Fang Yuan’s mind like lightning.</p>
<p>“Too polite, too polite. We are all from the same sect, don’t talk about guidance, we can definitely spar.” Fang Yuan smiled as he showed a warm expression.</p>
<p>He first moved away and invited Sixth Hair to sit down, before getting to his own seat.</p>
<p>These few steps were not far, but countless thoughts flashed in Fang Yuan’s mind.</p>
<p>“Sixth Hair is the spy, is he the only spy in Lang Ya blessed land?”</p>
<p>“He is representing Ying Wu Xie to make a deal, what transaction does he want?”</p>
<p>“Over on Ying Wu Xie’s end, what is going on? He wants a transaction?”</p>
<p>“Is he sincere? Is this a trap? Is this Lang Ya land spirit’s probing? After all, I joined Lang Ya Sect and have an information path alliance agreement on me.”</p>
<p>Thinking of this, Fang Yuan sat down.</p>
<p>His expression changed, his eyes were sharp like daggers, he looked at Sixth Hair with deep killing intent, he transmitted coldly: “Sixth Hair, what guts! Is what you just said true? If it is true, I will hand you over to first supreme elder for judgment!”</p>

<h1>Chapter 1075</h1>
<p>Sixth Hair looked at Fang Yuan as he laughed, feeling no fear.</p>
<p>If he wanted to snitch, Fang Yuan would have attacked the moment Sixth Hair exposed himself.</p>
<p>But Fang Yuan did not, he sat down and said some empty threats.</p>
<p>As for the reason, Sixth Hair knew clearly, he said: “I was originally in charge of the twelve cloud cities. Before you came here, I had already set up an Immortal Gu formation. Not only can it conceal us to prevent Lang Ya land spirit from finding out, it can also suppress the alliance agreement. You can test it out.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had joined Lang Ya Sect, he was bound by the alliance agreement and could not act freely.</p>
<p>Especially when talking with the spy Sixth Hair, it was against the alliance agreement.</p>
<p>But hearing Sixth Hair’s words, Fang Yuan tested it, as expected, there was no backlash from breaking some small alliance agreement rules.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s gaze was deep, he said after a while: “It seems you are indeed a spy in Lang Ya Sect. What transaction do you want?”</p>
<p>Sixth Hair felt great relief, he was afraid that Fang Yuan would take him down without any further discussion. The first hurdle had been passed already.</p>
<p>However… he could not be careless, Fang Yuan was unscrupulous and shameless, he was a devious person with no bottom line.</p>
<p>Even though he took a risk and exposed his own identity, danger was still extremely high.</p>
<p>There was no choice, Ying Wu Xie was out of ideas over there, he could only try this.</p>
<p>Having a transaction with Fang Yuan was the same as plotting with a tiger, it was too dangerous.</p>
<p>Only after the transaction was over and the evidence was firm, they would be tied together and he would have a hold on him. By then, Sixth Hair would be safe.</p>
<p>But how could he achieve his aims without losing too many benefits, Sixth Hair felt troubled, he was on the weaker side now.</p>
<p>“Ying Wu Xie and I have deep enmity, they are suddenly approaching me and even exposed their spy’s identity, they have something to ask of me. Interesting… I want to see what he is up to.” Fang Yuan had such a thought in his mind.</p>
<p>“To speak the truth, Lord Ying Wu Xie has already reached a desperate situation, his survival is at stake. Otherwise, I would not have appeared to talk to you.” Sixth Hair said.</p>
<p>“Oh?” Fang Yuan’s brows rose, he looked at the other party again.</p>
<p>Sixth Hair was so honest, Fang Yuan felt shocked internally.</p>
<p>Why would one expose their own weaknesses before the deal?</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s eyes shined, he sensed the ingenuity of Sixth Hair’s purposeful reveal — even if Sixth Hair did not say it, Fang Yuan would have noticed. By saying it, he could show that this was a last ditch attempt that was filled with determination.</p>
<p>“It seems that after interacting with Lang Ya land spirit for a long time, I have let down my guard. Even though the other party is a hairy man, he is a spy from Shadow Sect, how can he be as simple and easy to bully as a land spirit?” Fang Yuan raised his alertness.</p>
<p>Thinking about it, Fang Yuan spoke slowly and calmly: “Ying Wu Xie has all of the accumulated Gu worms in my body, he even has the help of Tai Bai Yun Sheng and Hei Lou Lan, how can he reach such a stage? I refuse to believe it.”</p>
<p>Sixth Hair shook his head: “Fang Yuan, why the need to probe further? You set up the special will and caused your Gu worms to self-detonate, you really gave Lord Ying Wu Xie a huge surprise. He tried to preserve the Gu worms, but only thirty percent remain.”</p>
<p>Once he said that, Fang Yuan was fully certain that Sixth Hair was a spy lurking inside Lang Ya Sect sent by Shadow Sect.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s thoughts churned, his words earlier were not completely true, after Sixth Hair answered him, he obtained a lot of precious information.</p>
<p>“To think that Ying Wu Xie is really controlling Hei and Bai. Hei Lou Lan is a formidable person, she was not easy to control, but after her aunts died, it is much easier to deal with her. She has the Great Strength True Martial Physique, if used well, she is an excellent pawn.”</p>
<p>“And Tai Bai Yun Sheng is a kind man, even though he is hesitant and timid, he has two time path Immortal Gu, he can help out a lot. To think that they are both controlled by Ying Wu Xie, what a shame!”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan sighed internally.</p>
<p>Fate worked in mysterious ways.</p>
<p>After the battle of Yi Tian Mountain, he and Ying Wu Xie had swapped places. He obtained sovereign immortal fetus Gu, while Ying Wu Xie obtained his accumulated wealth.</p>
<p>He was able to use Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng, as a split soul of Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, he had incredible methods to keep these two under control.</p>
<p>“Ying Wu Xie has my Immortal Gu and Hei and Bai to help him. Now, he is initiating a transaction with me, I just make him pay a high price!” Fang Yuan thought to himself harshly.</p>
<p>However, next, after Sixth Hair exposed their weakness, he changed his words: “Before the deal, let me show you our sincerity. Think of this as free intel. This intel is extremely important, it concerns your future cultivation greatly, or more accurately, it has to do with your life and death!”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan snorted, he said coldly: “You do not need to brag about the value of the intel. I can assess it myself when I see it.”</p>
<p>“Fang Yuan, do you know what heaven’s will is?” Sixth Hair asked.</p>
<p>“Heaven’s will?” Fang Yuan asked in confusion.</p>
<p>Sixth Hair looked at his expression before nodding in understandment, saying: “You indeed forgot a lot of things, Fang Yuan.”</p>
<p>“What do you mean?” Fang Yuan’s brows rose slightly.</p>
<p>Sixth Hair said: “You had once used heaven’s will’s guidance to swap souls with Lord Ying Wu Xie, disguised as the Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique and finally taking away sovereign immortal fetus Gu. But what you did not know was, this eleventh extreme physique was created by Old Man Yan Shi, it had a huge flaw. Any soul which resides in the Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique body will fall into deep sleep and lose its memories. Even though Old Man Yan Shi tried to remove the weakness, he only eliminated the weakness of falling asleep, the Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique still caused the soul to lose memories continuously. As time passed, more memories would be lost. Precisely because of this, Lord Ying Wu Xie was constantly losing memories and could only use the immortal killer move lead soul into dream.”</p>
<p>Saying this, Sixth Hair took out an information path mortal Gu.</p>
<p>He moved this Gu around with his finger as he sighed internally.</p>
<p>This Gu worm has little to no value to him. But to Fang Yuan, it was immensely valuable! If not for the situation, why would he pass this to Fang Yuan?</p>
<p>In Ying Wu Xie’s original plan, he was going to use this weakness of Fang Yuan to deal with him.</p>
<p>To think that there would be a time where he personally helped Fang Yuan fix this flaw.</p>
<p>“This letter Gu records the details before and after Yi Tian Mountain, take a look.” Sixth Hair said as he tossed the Gu worm to Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan received it and inspected it, there were no problems, he activated the Gu worm and the scenes of Yi Tian Mountain appeared in his mind.</p>
<p>He found that he was indeed lacking many crucial memories.</p>
<p>“No wonder I have been feeling something weird, but I did not know what. I lost my memories.”</p>
<p>This was true amnesia.</p>
<p>By completely losing one’s memories, they could not realize it themselves. If they knew that they forgot something, that would not be true amnesia, they could still remember it eventually.</p>
<p>However, the scenes in the information path mortal Gu gave Fang Yuan a familiar feeling, of course, there was still a chance that they were deceiving him.</p>
<p>After checking it several times, Fang Yuan had a calm expression, his gaze was deep as he said: “I seem to have lost my memories, but how can I know that this is real, this can possibly be made up too.”</p>
<p>Sixth Hair gritted his teeth.</p>
<p>He knew that this was the hard part of this transaction.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan and Ying Wu Xie were enemies, they had deep enmity, there was little trust between them. The problem was how to express his sincerity and make Fang Yuan believe them.</p>
<p>If this problem was tackled, the transaction would proceed smoothly.</p>
<p>Sixth Hair’s thoughts moved rapidly, colliding continuously in his mind. He was considering his words carefully, he had to, because Fang Yuan could kill someone without even blinking! If he said something wrong, so be it if he died, but Ying Wu Xie had the mission to save his main body, this could not fail.</p>
<p>After a long time, Sixth Hair spoke: ” Fang Yuan, you possess Spring Autumn Cicada, you have experienced rebirth, everyone knows this. But the truth is, even if you have many secrets, you have less of a clear understanding than us.”</p>
<p>“Heaven’s will is vast, it is everywhere, all over the five regions and nine heavens, it spans across the past, present, and future. The way of heaven is to take away surpluses while replenishing deficits, it emphasizes on balance. And the way of humans is exactly the opposite, it is to reduce the deficits and build up the surpluses. The two are complete opposites, and they are in conflict with each other.”</p>
<p>“Thus, the previous venerables, and any legendary figures, are the targets of heaven’s will’s suppression. Calamities and tribulations, lifespan Gu, they are two of heaven’s will’s trump cards. Fang Yuan, you have experienced two tribulations already, one was the earthly calamity, and the other was the creation of an Immortal Gu. The two of them had incredible power beyond reason, it was because you had revived using sovereign immortal fetus Gu and your new body and immortal aperture have unlimited potential, once you grow, you will surpass previous venerables. Because of this, heaven’s will feels extremely wary of you, and wants to kill you before you grow any further.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s heart shook.</p>
<p>Since the tribulations, he had been considering this question.</p>
<p>And now, Sixth Hair gave him the answer.</p>
<p>“Heaven’s will…” Fang Yuan muttered internally, thinking about this phrase.</p>
<p>Sixth Hair sighed, he continued: “My main body, Spectral Soul, created Shadow Sect, Zombie Alliance, and refined sovereign immortal fetus, preparing for a hundred thousand years, ending up in failure. This is the work of heaven’s will, not only were there grand tribulations and myriad tribulations, we even had to face countless enemies. Heavenly Court with Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord as the leader was its representative. And you, Fang Yuan, were the hidden assassin of our human tribulation!”</p>
<p>“What do you mean?” Fang Yuan squinted as his eyes shone, he felt deep interest, he could acutely sense that Sixth Hair’s words were going to cause a huge transformation in his situation!</p>
<p>Sixth Hair hesitated.</p>
<p>He knew: Once he said the following words, Fang Yuan’s greatest weakness of not knowing heaven’s will would be fixed. In fact, it might even cause Fang Yuan’s uncontrollable rise to the top.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was like a python stuck in the swamp now. This python’s eyes were covered by a black cloth, it did not know its directions, it was rolling around in the mud.</p>
<p>But once the information was given to Fang Yuan, the python’s cloth would be removed, its vision would return, it would be able to see the huge world and realize that the swamp trapping it was very tiny.</p>
<p>With an accurate direction, knowing its circumstances, the python would raise its head towards the sky, it would cause huge storms, it would even become a dragon and roam the world freely!</p>
<p>These might just be some words, but to Fang Yuan, they were a qualitative transformation, the value was immeasurable.</p>

<h1>Chapter 1076</h1>
<p>Sixth Hair did not want to tell this secret to Fang Yuan, but he really had no choice!</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie’s situation forced him to do this!</p>
<p>Breathing in a deep breath, Sixth Hair continued: “Fang Yuan, you were able to take sovereign immortal fetus Gu away at the most crucial moment, it was not just because of your own capabilities, but because you received the guidance of heaven’s will. Even the fact that you were able to use Spring Autumn Cicada to rebirth was also part of heaven’s will’s plot. To let you return to the past and ruin my Shadow Sect’s grand plan!”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan heard this and his heart shook.</p>
<p>The first half was still fine, but the content of the second half! Even with his mental fortitude, he also could not control himself.</p>
<p>Boom!</p>
<p>Coincidentally, at this time, there was a huge tremor in the outside world.</p>
<p>“What is going on?” In an instant, Fang Yuan regained his cool.</p>
<p>He sat up as he used his Gu worms, his eyes pierced the cloud cover, he saw that there was thunder rumbling in the sky, several bolts of lightning were flickering.</p>
<p>A thunderstorm was brewing!</p>
<p>Sixth Hair laughed coldly, but he felt bleak internally: “Fang Yuan, you have just undergone tribulation, there is still much of heaven’s will left in Lang Ya blessed land. My earlier words exposed the scheme of heaven’s will, I attracted the fury of heaven’s will. But all blessed lands and grotto-heavens are small worlds independent of the five regions, heaven’s will cannot control this place. The tribulations are already over, no matter how angry heaven’s will is, there is no use!”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan did not deny it, he looked at Sixth Hair expressionlessly: “Continue speaking.”</p>
<p>Sixth Hair was hesitant earlier, but now that he had spoken, he felt relieved on the inside.</p>
<p>He spoke even more quickly, continuing: “Fang Yuan, your Spring Autumn Cicada also has heaven’s will hidden in it. This has been verified by Lord Ying Wu Xie. This is the best evidence proving that every single one of your rebirths were affected by heaven’s will.”</p>
<p>“Spring Autumn Cicada uses everything in the Gu Immortal and only retains a will. This will is carried inside Spring Autumn Cicada and enters the River of Time, traveling upwards to your body in the past, achieving a rebirth. Fang Yuan, you have used it many times, you should know this clearly.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was expressionless, he did not retort.</p>
<p>Sixth Hair continued: “Spring Autumn Cicada has heaven’s will in it, every time you use Spring Autumn Cicada, it is the best chance for heaven’s will to increase its influence on you. Because at that time, you only have some portion of remaining will left, without your body, your focus will also be on the River of Time, you will not anticipate such a plot working on you.”</p>
<p>“After rebirth, you naturally had to think about how to use your rebirth advantage to cultivate. Precisely so, you were plotted against by heaven’s will. The things you experienced before rebirth, the opportunities that you knew, were they really simply what you know now? Those so-called fortuitous encounters were just bait left by heaven’s will, so that as a tool of heaven’s will, you would grow and reach Yi Tian Mountain, ruining Shadow Sect’s plan.”</p>
<p>“According to our deduction, in the future before your first rebirth, Shadow Sect had succeeded. But heaven’s will was not willing to see my main body become a venerable again. Why did Bo Qing fail in the past? It was because he was a split soul of my main body. And furthermore, after my main body obtained the sovereign immortal fetus and revived, he would definitely grow beyond all of the other venerables! In the future, heaven’s will was no longer able to eliminate my main body. Thus, it thought of a way, creating a plot to send you back in time, using you to change the past and remodel the future!”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan suddenly asked: “Wait, I don’t understand something, why did heaven’s will choose me?”</p>
<p>“Because you are an otherworldly demon, only otherworldly demons can change the past. If they are not an otherworldly demon, even a venerable cannot do enough. Red Lotus Demon Venerable tried all his life, but he only broke fate Gu, he could not even destroy it, or harm heaven’s will.”</p>
<p>“Of course, you are not the only otherworldly demon. But regardless, after taking personal experience and circumstances into account, during that time period, you were the most suitable candidate to be the tool.” Sixth Hair answered.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was silent.</p>
<p>This was a brand new perspective, a shocking revelation!</p>
<p>Sixth Hair’s words made Fang Yuan realize that he was immersed in a huge scheme.</p>
<p>He thought back over the five hundred years of his previous life, he had roamed for hundreds of years, was it the suppression of heaven’s will?</p>
<p>He had wanted to refine Blood Deity, did heaven’s will obstruct him from doing so?</p>
<p>It seemed too easy that he obtained Spring Autumn Cicada’s Immortal Gu recipe.</p>
<p>After refining Spring Autumn Cicada, he immediately faced the attack of all the ten great ancient sects.</p>
<p>Sixth Hair looked at his expression and saw that Fang Yuan was moved, but because he did not express himself, Sixth Hair could only curse internally as he asked again:</p>
<p>“Your Spring Autumn Cicada is only rank six, there is a high chance of failure. Why did you succeed every time you used it?”</p>
<p>“That isn’t the case, I failed the last time.” As Fang Yuan said this, he suddenly was stunned.</p>
<p>This point was the strongest evidence proving the presence of heaven’s will!</p>
<p>His amnesia did not affect this part of his memories, he remembered that he used Spring Autumn Cicada to rebirth because he was hit by Heaven Overseeing Tower, he could not dodge and had no choice.</p>
<p>But before this, the Great Strength True Martial immortal zombie was already vaporized by Heaven Overseeing Tower.</p>
<p>According to Sixth Hair’s explanation, it could be understood as: The Great Strength True Martial immortal zombie was destroyed, the ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation was incomplete, it could not refine Gu. Shadow Sect’s plan failed, the only other way was Hei Lou Lan, but she was not at Yi Tian Mountain. Thus, heaven’s will no longer needed the tool, Fang Yuan, and he failed when using Spring Autumn Cicada.</p>
<p>Instead, Shadow Sect refused to lose, after heaven’s will abandoned Fang Yuan, Shadow Sect used the Red Lotus true inheritance to help Fang Yuan rebirth and change the past, allowing Shadow Sect’s plan to progress.</p>
<p>“What? You do not know that I failed my last activation?” Fang Yuan looked at Sixth Hair.</p>
<p>Sixth Hair blinked and felt cold sweat in his hands.</p>
<p>He naturally did not know this.</p>
<p>He was only a split soul, he did not even join the battle of Yi Tian Mountain, he had been inside Lang Ya blessed land the entire time. Furthermore, he only had Ying Wu Xie as a higher-up, a lot of his information came from Ying Wu Xie.</p>
<p>But he knew that Ying Wu Xie had activated Spring Autumn Cicada. Originally, Ying Wu Xie was plotted against by Fang Yuan and had no way out, but because of Spring Autumn Cicada, there was a reset which caused the current situation.</p>
<p>Sixth Hair was thinking about whether he should tell Fang Yuan this secret. He got more and more nervous as he thought over it, he did not know what reaction Fang Yuan would have after he told him.</p>
<p>But at this time, Fang Yuan waved his hand, saying: “Never mind, continue.”</p>
<p>Sixth Hair heaved a sigh of relief, he let out a breath and calmed his emotions, he continued: “Heaven’s will planned for you to be a tool, it was a brilliant move. We subconsciously assumed that an otherworldly demon would have nothing to do with heaven’s will. Because of this, even my main body was deceived.”</p>
<p>“After Three Kings blessed land, one of our split souls, Old Man Yan Shi, found out that you had Spring Autumn Cicada, that you are someone who had been reborn. But because you already went to Hu Immortal inheritance, and our hundred thousand year plan was right before us, we did not want to create external trouble, so we tried to scheme against you secretly. Thus, Old Man Yan Shi blocked deductions for you, and that caused the Central Continent Gu Immortals, Feng Jiu Ge’s group, to go to Luo Po Valley.”</p>
<p>“In that battle, even though the Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance immortal zombie escaped, he was captured by Old Ancestor Xue Hu. Heavenly Court and these Gu Immortals in Northern Plains were all secretly influenced by heaven’s will, they were part of my main body’s ‘human’ tribulation.”</p>
<p>“Fang Yuan, after rebirth, on the way to Northern Plains from Southern Border, you encountered a lot of unexpected mishaps, right? These were all caused by heaven’s will to eliminate you.”</p>
<p>“Similarly, Lord Ying Wu Xie is in a desperate situation now, a part of the reason was that Lord Ying Wu Xie had obtained your body, he also attracted a lot of enemies for you, and is facing the problem for you.”</p>
<p>“Fang Yuan, your name is on the Demon Judgment Board, the ten great ancient sects are after you, even Heavenly Court is pursuing you. Lord Ying Wu Xie is the best example of your future! Do you think you can be safe if you hide in the other four regions and don’t go to Central Continent? My main body defied heaven to refine Gu, but Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals could still come after us. The main reason that most Gu Immortals don’t travel regions is not because of the five regional walls, but because of their calamities and tribulations. Once they arrive, the result is hard to predict, if their tribulation was affected, they would suffer. Furthermore, Heavenly Court Gu Immortals give their immortal apertures to Heavenly Court, they have no calamities and tribulations, they go outside using a phantom aperture, and they have the method to sleep while preserving their lifespan.”</p>
<p>“Fang Yuan, let me ask this, if I did not inform you today, would you know about heaven’s will? The scheme that made you a tool?”</p>
<p>“You and my main body have deep enmity, that is true, but you are also closely linked to us. Lord Ying Wu Xie is in grave danger, if he ends up in the hands of Heavenly Court, your relationship with him and your information would all be leaked. Heavenly Court will come after you! Because Heavenly Court are the lackeys that defend heaven’s will. Earlier, Feng Jiu Ge and the other Central Continent Gu Immortals went to Northern Plains to investigate, and later, Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord launched an ambush in Southern Border. Fang Yuan, you and Lord Ying Wu Xie are tied together by the same rope, if he dies, you will follow soon enough!”</p>
<p>Sixth Hair had great eloquence, he spoke without pausing, he listed his reasons with strong evidence, it was truly convincing and understandable.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was so moved he could not help but say: “You are right, this is truly the case! I think… we can have a good transaction.”</p>
<p>Sixth Hair was overjoyed, he thought: “This matter is settled!”</p>
<p>At this moment, he was about to tear up.</p>
<p>Because recently, he had been under strong pressure.</p>
<p>Because of him, Fang Yuan succeeded in the tribulation and refined change form Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>No matter the reason or motive, the result was clear.</p>
<p>He was at fault!</p>
<p>He was filled with regret and anguish.</p>
<p>Thus, he had to make up for his mistake.</p>
<p>Now, he exposed his identity and took a huge risk to urge Fang Yuan, it was Ying Wu Xie’s idea, but Sixth Hair was also a willing party.</p>
<p>It seemed now that everything was worth it.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was Ying Wu Xie’s only way out. Sixth Hair had helped Ying Wu Xie open up this possibility singlehandedly.</p>

<h1>Chapter 1077</h1>
<p>“Then how do we deal? What do you people need?” Fang Yuan asked with an amicable expression.</p>
<p>“Fang Yuan, we know you have a lot of immortal materials. The immortal materials picked up in Earth Trench have a problem, they are filled with heaven’s will. We do not want these. But the huge amount of immortal materials from Falling Heavenly River can be traded. This is our list, take a look.” Sixth Hair took out an information path mortal Gu.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan received it and inspected it before his consciousness entered the Gu, he nodded as he browsed.</p>
<p>A moment later, Fang Yuan said to Sixth Hair: “I have most of these immortal materials, but as a member of Lang Ya Sect, can’t you get these from Lang Ya Sect’s inventory?”</p>
<p>Sixth Hair smiled bitterly: “Times are different, the new Lang Ya land spirit is not the same as previously, in Lang Ya Sect, sect contribution points are everything. If I want to get items from the inventory, I will need to use my sect contribution points. But my sect contribution points have not reached the number that Lord Ying Wu Xie needs.”</p>
<p>“You are right.” Fang Yuan nodded before asking: “I can give you these immortal materials, but how will these immortal materials reach Ying Wu Xie? Treasure yellow heaven is currently closed.”</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie had been selling Immortal Gu, he made a huge commotion, Fang Yuan knew about it.</p>
<p>Sixth Hair continued speaking: “It is more troublesome without treasure yellow heaven, but there is a way to send these to Lord Ying Wu Xie. Zombie Alliance was a subsidiary of Shadow Sect, before the battle of Yi Tian Mountain, because Old Ancestor Xue Hu had stolen immortal zombie bodies, Zombie Alliance had ordered the branches to create a super Gu formation to connect between the five regions. Even if someone attacks a branch, we can transport these immortal zombie bodies to other regions using the super Gu formation.”</p>
<p>“I thought this was just an excuse to plot against the immortal zombies, to think it was real?” Fang Yuan was slightly surprised.</p>
<p>Sixth Hair smiled bitterly: “This is true. Sacrificing Zombie Alliance to refine sovereign immortal fetus Gu was not part of Shadow Sect’s original plan. During the battle of Yi Tian Mountain, we had no choice and did it. There were more benefits in keeping Zombie Alliance, if possible, we would not have sacrificed them.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan nodded.</p>
<p>He thought about the five hundred years of his previous life. During that time, Zombie Alliance was still around in the five regions, even until the five regions chaotic war, and just before Fang Yuan’s rebirth, it still played a significant role in the affairs of the world.</p>
<p>But it was different now.</p>
<p>Zombie Alliance in all five regions was now an empty shell, most of the immortal zombies were used as immortal materials and were refined in the ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation.</p>
<p>Up until this point, the five regions were still in a commotion because of it.</p>
<p>After all, when Zombie Alliance was around, it controlled many resources.</p>
<p>These resources were now ownerless, many Gu Immortal experts and super forces were fighting for them, there were bloody scenes.</p>
<p>“It seems that in the five hundred years of my previous life, Shadow Sect indeed succeeded. Zombie Alliance’s continued existence proves this point. Heavenly Court attacked Lang Ya blessed land, resulting in Feng Jiu Ge’s death inside Lang Ya blessed land, this event is very suspicious. Shadow Sect had spies inside Heavenly Court, maybe Spectral Soul had revived and controlled Heavenly Court, turning it into his own force.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan thought a little and felt that many things in his memories could have likely had a deeper story behind them.</p>
<p>“This world’s secrets are too deep. Legendary people have appeared continuously. Countless experts contest and plot against each other, they are like the countless stars shining in the sky. Even though I was considered an expert, compared to these people, I am not outstanding. Hehe… precisely because of this, it is more interesting, isn’t it? Hahaha.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan thought about this and felt increasingly joyful.</p>
<p>On the surface, his lips curled up as he smiled lightly.</p>
<p>Sixth Hair could not understand it, he thought: “Why is he smiling? And why do I have a bad feeling…”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan breathed in deeply, he looked at Sixth Hair with a shining gaze, his smile became more apparent: “Then, what can I get in exchange for my immortal materials?”</p>
<p>“Immortal Gu.” Sixth Hair answered, having a calm expression.</p>
<p>“Interesting, very interesting.” Fang Yuan clapped and smiled.</p>
<p>What Immortal Gu could Ying Wu Xie sell? It was obviously Fang Yuan’s own Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>Selling Fang Yuan’s Immortal Gu back to himself, Ying Wu Xie’s plan was really amazing.</p>
<p>But even Fang Yuan himself felt that Ying Wu Xie’s idea was quite good.</p>
<p>In this world, who would want these Immortal Gu more than Fang Yuan? Even if there were such people, they would be few in number.</p>
<p>And for other Gu Immortals, they were not used to these Immortal Gu, they needed to get familiar with them. But Fang Yuan was very familiar with them, he could use them well. These Immortal Gu had greater value to Fang Yuan than to others.</p>
<p>Furthermore, even if Immortal Gu were sold, they needed suitable Gu Immortals. For example, a strength path Immortal Gu would not be well utilized by Gu Immortals of other paths. Because of differences in paths, and conflict in dao marks, the effect would be reduced, it was not suitable for them. Unless they were using it as a supplementary Gu worm for an immortal killer move, but such situations were rare.</p>
<p>One could say, Fang Yuan was the best buyer. Not only did he have use for these Immortal Gu, most importantly — he could afford them!</p>
<p>As for how to send the Immortal Gu, Zombie Alliance’s super Gu formation was likely to be used.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan smiled: “How many of my Immortal Gu are left? Not only do I want to buy them, I also want Hei Lou Lan’s self strength Immortal Gu, and Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s Man as Before and Landscape as Before. I will include these three Immortal Gu into my request.”</p>
<p>Sixth Hair considered it for a while before nodding: “I can make the decision on this matter and agree to it.”</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie had control over Tai Bai Yun Sheng and Hei Lou Lan, he could make them hand over their Immortal Gu. And the most important thing now was to escape from danger and get away. Other matters could be put aside.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan said again: “We will trade at the same time, bring your Immortal Gu, I will pay the immortal materials.”</p>
<p>At this time, Sixth Hair showed a difficult expression: “As a matter of fact, it will take some time for you to see the Immortal Gu. You are aware of the situation in the five regions. All the Zombie Alliance branches are being targeted, if Northern Plains’ Dark Flow Giant City did not sink into Earth Trench, it would have been ransacked already. The super Gu formation is placed in Dark Flow Giant City, it will take some time for me to get the Immortal Gu. But before this, I hope that you can provide some immortal materials first. Because these immortal materials are going to be used for Gu refinement, the faster we refine, the better. Over on Lord Ying Wu Xie’s end, we do not know how long they can last.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan heard this and sneered internally: “Sixth Hair is speaking both truth and lies at once, earlier, he said Ying Wu Xie is in grave danger, now he is indicating that Ying Wu Xie can last for some time.”</p>
<p>On the surface, Fang Yuan’s expression turned stiff, he rejected: “No, impossible. If I pay immortal materials and you do not hand me the Immortal Gu, wouldn’t I be a fool?”</p>
<p>“Don’t worry about this. I have prepared an information path immortal killer move to restrict both sides, none of us can break it.” Sixth Hair had a sincere expression.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan laughed, he waved his hand: “Don’t talk to me about information path methods, I don’t believe it! Since you can subdue Hei Lou Lan, you must have removed her information path alliance agreement, right? I do not cultivate information path, would I be so foolish as to make an information path agreement with you?”</p>
<p>“This…” Sixth Hair hesitated.</p>
<p>He understood Fang Yuan’s thoughts, if it were him, he would not set an agreement with Shadow Sect either.</p>
<p>“How about this?” Sixth Hair quickly thought of a new idea: “I can use information to exchange for a portion of the immortal materials first, how about that? This information and these secrets have immense value to you. Fang Yuan, don’t you want to know what the limitations of heaven’s will are? Don’t you want our Shadow Sect’s precious experience in dealing with heaven’s will? And information about otherworldly demons, even information about Lang Ya blessed land, don’t you want them?”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was deeply enticed.</p>
<p>Heaven’s will!</p>
<p>After understanding that heaven’s will was plotting against him, how could Fang Yuan ignore it? In this world, who else other than Shadow Sect had greater experience in dealing with heaven’s will?</p>
<p>If not for Shadow Sect taking the initiative to transact, Fang Yuan would still be left in the dark for a long period of time.</p>
<p>As for the matter of otherworldly demons, Fang Yuan was very curious. Why did he transmigrate here? Were other otherworldly demons were there? Did they come from the same place as him? Why could otherworldly demons change the past?</p>
<p>And information about Lang Ya blessed land.</p>
<p>Lang Ya blessed land had existed for three hundred thousand years, what secrets were hidden inside? This was extremely important for Fang Yuan, who was getting Lang Ya land spirit’s help, and also his goal of obtaining Lang Ya blessed land.</p>
<p>Undeniably, all this information was extremely valuable, they were very helpful to Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>At this moment, the room was silent.</p>
<p>Neither side was talking.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was deep in thought.</p>
<p>Sixth Hair waited for Fang Yuan to agree, he was very confident that Fang Yuan would definitely say yes. The allure of this information was too high, after all.</p>
<p>Of course, if not for this situation, Sixth Hair would not have wanted Fang Yuan to know these secrets.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan spoke, but instead asked a question: “I don’t understand something. Since there is a super Gu formation, why aren’t Ying Wu Xie and the rest using the super Gu formation to escape directly?”</p>
<p>Sixth Hair explained honestly: “The super Gu formation can only transport immortal materials. Immortal zombie bodies are considered immortal materials, but they cannot include the immortal aperture. It is too hard to transport Gu Immortals across regions. There are some methods, but they are very rare. For example, Fixed Immortal Travel, but Immortal Gu are one of a kind. Stargate Gu is an exception, but it is too limited. And not everyone can enter immortal apertures”</p>
<p>Shadow Sect knew about stargate Gu. Fang Yuan had used it many times and even gave the Gu recipe to Lang Ya land spirit. It was not strange that Shadow Sect knew about it.</p>
<p>Be it Fixed Immortal Travel or stargate Gu, they had requirements towards the Gu Immortal being transported.</p>
<p>The Gu Immortal must have few dao marks in their body for transportation. Especially stargate Gu, it was only a mortal Gu, even though it used the power of black heaven, only rank six bottom tier Gu Immortals or those who had only gone through a few calamities could use it.</p>
<p>Of course, the things inside the Gu Immortal’s immortal aperture were in another world, they were not considered in this.</p>
<p>Thus, back then, Fang Yuan used his dead aperture to contain rank nine wisdom Gu, he could transport it using stargate Gu.</p>
<p>Using rank six bottom tier Gu Immortals or immortal zombies as the container to use Fixed Immortal Travel or stargate Gu for cross-regional transportation?</p>
<p>This was very possible.</p>
<p>But it could not be used widely.</p>
<p>There was only one Fixed Immortal Travel in the world, and stargate Gu was in the hands of few people. Furthermore, rank eight Gu Immortals and high rank immortal materials or Immortal Gu have too many dao marks, they are a huge burden to the immortal aperture. Living immortal apertures could burst, while dead immortal apertures would break apart even more quickly, they could not go through this many times.</p>
<p>Precisely because of this, Fang Yuan placed the high rank immortal materials into Hu Immortal blessed land or Star Form blessed land, these blessed lands that were placed in the outside world were very stable.</p>
<p>Rank eight Gu Immortals have their own unique methods to travel across regions.</p>
<p>It was through white heaven and black heaven. Earlier, Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord had brought a group of people to Southern Border and thwarted Shadow Sect’s plan, they went there through white heaven.</p>

<body>
<h1>Chapter 1078</h1>
<p>There had never been good methods to transport Gu Immortals across regions.</p>
<p>Because Gu Immortals had little need for this!</p>
<p>When Gu Master undergo immortal ascension, they would become Gu Immortals of their respective regions due to the heaven and earth qi. For example, they would be a Northern Plains Gu Immortal, or a Central Continent Gu Immortal.</p>
<p>Gu Immortals had a territorial mentality, Gu Immortals from other regions were usually ostracized. At the end of the battle of Yi Tian Mountain, Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng were pursued by Southern Border Gu Immortals, this point was showed clearly. In this aspect, Eastern Sea was more open.</p>
<p>The territorial mentality was not the key, most importantly, once in a while, Gu Immortals had to place their immortal apertures in the outside world to draw in heaven and earth qi and stabilize it. At this time, the heaven and earth qi needed was very specific. If a Northern Plains Gu Immortal placed their immortal aperture in Central Continent and took in Central Continent’s heaven and earth qi, there would be huge problems.</p>
<p>The third reason was calamities and tribulations. Gu Immortals faced calamities and tribulations continuously, who would have the time to run around? What was the point of going to other regions? Unless they had important reasons, like clues to a huge inheritance, or maybe for investigation missions like Feng Jiu Ge.</p>
<p>There was one thing to note.</p>
<p>There was little demand for Gu Immortals to travel across regions, but Immortal Gu and immortal materials were not the same!</p>
<p>They had huge demand for them.</p>
<p>And these demands were mostly settled through treasure yellow heaven.</p>
<p>Due to all sorts of reasons, few people researched in regional transportation of Gu Immortals. In history, there were barely any results. Zombie Alliance’s super Gu formation was merely used to transport immortal materials.</p>
<p>Who would waste their time and effort to research on something useless?</p>
<p>Gu Immortals had huge pressure towards survival! Even though they were ‘immortals’, they could not live freely and peacefully. Managing their immortal apertures, raising Immortal Gu, and dealing with tribulations, these were enough for all Gu Immortals to slog their lives out.</p>
<p>Thus, since long ago, cross-regional transportation methods for Gu Immortals were very primitive, they were developed slowly. As a result, when the grand ten great ancient sects of Central Continent dispatched a team of Gu Immortals to go Northern Plains, they barged through two regional walls.</p>
<p>In four to five hundred years, there would no longer be a need to research on this. Because the five regional walls would start to disappear, the five regions will merge into one!</p>
<p>This was something for the future, forget about it for now.</p>
<p>In the hall, Fang Yuan let out a hearty laugh.</p>
<p>He had probed for so long, he finally had a clear understanding of this transaction.</p>
<p>“Fang Yuan, why are you laughing?” Sixth Hair’s ominous feeling was growing.</p>
<p>“Because I am happy. Even though the super Gu formation can only transport immortal materials, that is enough! Forget about information and whatnot. My first condition is my original body. Hand it to me.” Fang Yuan spoke quickly.</p>
<p>Sixth Hair’s expression changed.</p>
<p>He knew about wisdom Gu.</p>
<p>If Fang Yuan obtained his body, together with his soul, he could use the light of wisdom, and borrow the might of wisdom Gu once again.</p>
<p>What did that imply?</p>
<p>He would be like a tiger with wings, he would soar to the sky!</p>
<p>In the past, Fang Yuan had a flaw, he did not have lifespan Gu to feed wisdom Gu. But now, Lang Ya land spirit had a good number of lifespan Gu to feed it.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan knew about heaven’s will already, if he had wisdom Gu’s help, how could he be stopped? He would be like an eagle in the sky, or a flood dragon roaming the seas. Together with the sovereign immortal aperture…</p>
<p>“My goodness!” Sixth Hair cried out in his thoughts, these few elements alone were shocking, they were unprecedented! If they were combined together, he would gain unimaginable strength!</p>
<p>How would anyone else ever compete with him again?!</p>
<p>“That will not work.” Sixth Hair shook his head: “Without a body, how can Lord Ying Wu Xie escape from his predicament?”</p>
<p>“I have bodies.” Fang Yuan laughed: “I have many strength path immortal zombie bodies! We can trade one for one. You will not suffer a loss for sure, these immortal zombie bodies have more dao marks than my original body, you are definitely going to profit.”</p>
<p>“Profit my ass!” Sixth Hair scolded Fang Yuan’s shamelessness internally, his expression became ugly, he snickered at Fang Yuan: “Let’s not beat about the bush, why would I not know your intentions?”</p>
<p>“Oh… so you know about wisdom Gu.” Fang Yuan rubbed his chin.</p>
<p>“Immortal Gu and information can be sold, but body… no way!” Sixth Hair rejected with a firm reply.</p>
<p>But Fang Yuan’s mood changed even more quickly: “Then there’s nothing to say! Goodbye, see you!”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan stood up and waved his hand, chasing Sixth Hair away.</p>
<p>“…” Sixth Hair was stunned!</p>
<p>He was dazed in place, unmoving.</p>
<p>Seeing him like this, Fang Yuan snickered internally, with a flourish of his sleeves, he took his leave.</p>
<p>Sixth Hair jolted to awareness, he said: “Fang Yuan, wait!”</p>
<p>“You agreed?” Fang Yuan did not turn around, he only turned his head.</p>
<p>“Body cannot be sold, the rest can be negotiated.” Sixth Hair insisted.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan snorted, walking ahead and through the door, leaving Sixth Hair’s vision.</p>
<p>Sixth Hair quickly chased him: “We have to be willing parties in a transaction! Fang Yuan, why must you make it difficult for us, if we encounter trouble, you will soon follow.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan stopped moving, but he did not turn around even now, he left the back of his head facing Sixth Hair, it was very rude.</p>
<p>Sixth Hair heard Fang Yuan’s words: “You are right. But so what if I follow? At most, I will die.”</p>
<p>Sixth Hair walked several steps and chased after Fang Yuan, urging: “Fang Yuan, why the need to say these things? Who would believe such lies? Will you be willing to die? With Shadow Sect around, how many enemies are we drawing away from you? Without us, how long can you last? You think you can deal with heaven’s will? Even my main body failed after a hundred thousand years of planning! With a common enemy ahead of us, why are you like this?”</p>
<p>“Noisy!” A sword wave appeared around Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Rank seven Immortal Gu Wave Sword!</p>
<p>Sixth Hair was forced to retreat, he quickly said: “Careful, be careful! Don’t use Immortal Gu, it will ruin my arrangements. If Lang Ya land spirit finds out, we will both face the consequences.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan snickered, he walked ahead as he said: “The body is my first condition, if this cannot be fulfilled, forget the rest! You have three days, go and have a good discussion with your Lord Ying Wu Xie.”</p>
<p>Sixth Hair stomped his feet: “Three days?! Fang Yuan, you know that Lord Ying Wu Xie is facing great danger, we have to fight for time.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan walked away as his voice drifted over: “It is great that you realize this. Quickly agree to it, after the deal, you can use the immortal materials to refine Gu, and last an even longer time, right?”</p>
<p>Sixth Hair had a ruthless expression, he gritted his teeth as he pointed at Fang Yuan, killing intent surged: “Fang Yuan, don’t go overboard!”</p>
<p>“So what if I do? I will not be the first to die. I can live well inside Lang Ya blessed land for some time. But you guys? Without Ying Wu Xie, Spectral Soul’s main body will remain trapped in the giant dream realm, hehe, the great Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, he is going to die before me. Hahaha!” Fang Yuan laughed, he walked through the door and vanished from Sixth Hair’s vision completely.</p>
<p>Sixth Hair stared with bloodshot eyes.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s shameless and thuggish attitude dealt a huge blow to him!</p>
<p>In less than half a day, Sixth Hair went to Fang Yuan again.</p>
<p>“Lord Ying Wu Xie agreed.” Sixth Hair stared at Fang Yuan, he wanted nothing more than to tear him to shreds.</p>
<p>A sharp light flashed across Fang Yuan’s eyes.</p>
<p>Sixth Hair agreed so quickly, on Ying Wu Xie’s end, the situation must really be terrible!</p>
<p>This was both good and bad.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan wanted to gain the most benefits from this trade, but he also wanted Ying Wu Xie to draw away the enemies for him. It was most beneficial to Fang Yuan for Heavenly Court and Shadow Sect’s remnant forces to fight.</p>
<p>“We will trade the immortal zombie bodies first, one for one, before we continue with the others.” Fang Yuan said, adding: “If I find out that you tampered with the body, don’t blame me for what I will do. You know I am a person who has been reborn, I can use some future methods…”</p>
<p>“Impossible! We will do the transactions all at once!” Sixth Hair was not easy to fool.</p>
<p>But Fang Yuan was a tougher nut to crack.</p>
<p>A little later, Sixth Hair lost, he raised three fingers, gritting his teeth: “Fine, we will first trade the immortal zombie bodies. But there are only two deals after that. We will conclude this trade in three sessions!”</p>
<p>Three days later in Lang Ya blessed land, the two made their transaction.</p>
<p>“Okay, next will be Immortal Gu. I want all of my Immortal Gu, along with Self Strength, Man as Before, and Landscape as Before.” Fang Yuan said.</p>
<p>Sixth Hair had a curious expression: “So many Immortal Gu, do you have enough immortal materials?”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan laughed: “Of course.”</p>
<p>A few minutes later.</p>
<p>“This is what you mean by ‘of course’? You casually changed the quantity to be traded by yourself?! These immortal materials are not enough to buy even thirty percent of the Immortal Gu!!” Sixth Hair screamed furiously.</p>
<p>“We can continue to negotiate the deal. What do you mean by changing it myself? I did not casually do it, I am very sincere!” Fang Yuan smiled lightly.</p>
<p>“Your mother is sincere!” Sixth Hair cursed.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s expression stiffened: “This means you do not want to deal?” Saying this, his sleeves billowed as he turned around.</p>
<p>Sixth Hair was beyond furious: “Threatening to leave? The same trick again?!”</p>
<p>“I don’t care, I am not the first to die anyway.” Fang Yuan shrugged, latching on Sixth Hair’s weakness.</p>
<p>Sixth Hair’s expression froze, he felt like he had fallen into an icy river.</p>
<p>He felt really foolish, why did he expose his own weakness?</p>
<p>But, with Fang Yuan’s shrewdness, even if he said nothing, he would sense it.</p>
<p>The second transaction was a long tug-of-war.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s price was way too low, Shadow Sect was not going to take it.</p>
<p>In a few days, they went through dozens of difficult negotiations, until both sides came to an agreement.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan relented a bit, but he still earned the most from this.</p>
<p>Sixth Hair had a downcast expression, his straight back had hunched already.</p>
<p>“Thankfully, there is only one last deal left…”</p>
<p>The third transaction.</p>
<p>“What?! We agreed on three transactions, why do you want to extend it to ten?!”</p>
<p>“Fang Yuan, you shameless bastard, you fiend with no bottom line!”</p>
<p>“Can’t you see the big picture at all? Die, let’s just all die together.”</p>
<p>Sixth Hair screamed, his throat went sore, blood was flowing out of his nose due to anger.</p>
<p>But Fang Yuan only said one thing, reflecting all of these statements: “I am not the first to die anyway. Once Ying Wu Xie dies, Spectral Soul’s main body is going to follow. After all, the dream realm is huge, the consumption of the soul is extremely rapid as well…”</p>
<p>“Extremely rapid as well…”</p>
<p>“Extremely rapid…”</p>
<p>“Extremely…”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s voice was floating around in Sixth Hair’s head.</p>
<p>Next, he fainted on the spot.</p>

<body>
<h1>Chapter 1079</h1>
<p>A dark and deep pool of soul water undulated with countless ripples.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie opened his eyes wide, the ghost fire in his eyes burning bright as he observed the surface of the soul water.</p>
<p>He was viewing a scene that outsiders would not be able to observe.</p>
<p>Sixth Hair’s figure appeared in the soul water, he was half-kneeling on the ground and had an expression of remorse and guilt: “Lord, I made a huge mistake! When Fang Yuan was facing the tribulation, if I had not used…”</p>
<p>“I have already said that this matter is not your fault. Speaking of which, it is also because I used my trump card to increase my luck, which allowed Fang Yuan to take advantage of it.” Ying Wu Xie’s voice directly transmitted to Gu Immortal Sixth Hair’s mind.</p>
<p>This was the method of communication between Sixth Hair and Ying Wu Xie, it was a soul path method but with the effect of information path, and was extremely powerful.</p>
<p>Both sides were in Central Continent and Northern Plains, separated by two regional walls, moreover there was Lang Ya blessed land as well. Not only were they able to communicate in real time, they were also able to evade Lang Ya land spirit’s senses.</p>
<p>Right now, Ying Wu Xie no longer had Fang Yuan’s appearance.</p>
<p>He had already changed to another strength path immortal zombie’s body.</p>
<p>But this vessel, because it was too old, its immortal aperture had already broken apart and what Ying Wu Xie obtained was only the physical body. Unlike Fang Yuan’s zombie body, which had a mortal aperture as well as an immortal aperture.</p>
<p>As such, it was very inconvenient for Ying Wu Xie to use Gu worms. Whether it be Immortal Gu or mortal Gu, they could only live in parts of his body like on his skin, hair, blood, bones, and so on, not only would this leak their aura and make it easier for enemies to inspect, it was also not safe. When the physical body gets struck by an attack, the Gu worms could also very well meet with a terrible fate.</p>
<p>Gu worms were very fragile.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie could be said to have suffered a huge loss from this transaction with Fang Yuan, but his expression was tranquil.</p>
<p>He instead encouraged Sixth Hair: “You did this task very well. You constantly expressed weakness to Fang Yuan during the whole transaction process, good job. Especially the fainting at the end… without your efforts, I wouldn’t have obtained the immortal materials I needed.”</p>
<p>Sixth Hair sighed: “I intentionally fainted to probe Fang Yuan, but unfortunately he did not do anything to me.”</p>
<p>“Since he knows our background, he is naturally extremely cautious. Moreover, we have already done transactions multiple times now, both sides have gotten a handle on the other, he has to be wary against us reporting about him to Lang Ya land spirit.” Ying Wu Xie replied.</p>
<p>He had been in an absolute plight just now, and had thought about every possible way, before finding there was no way left other than Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Before transacting with Fang Yuan, he had already made sufficient mental preparations.</p>
<p>The immortal material list he gave to Fang Yuan had exaggerated contents with huge numbers, hiding the immortal materials he truly wanted within them.</p>
<p>In short, he had achieved his goal.</p>
<p>He was able to fight for a ray of hope in this desperate situation.</p>
<p>As long as he passed this hurdle, his future prospects would be extremely promising!</p>
<p>“Not mentioning the other Immortal Gu, but the main thing is that Fang Yuan not only obtained his physical body, he now has Spring Autumn Cicada as well! His current foundation is extremely huge!” Sixth Hair was still worried.</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie snorted: “Even if Fang Yuan gets back his physical body, does he dare to use it? Spring Autumn Cicada is not a problem, it was already sealed and is going to starve to death soon. Even if Fang Yuan can resolve this problem, Spring Autumn Cicada itself has a failure rate when activating, it still has heaven’s will hiding inside it, it will be a long time before he will be able to use it. Moreover, the attention of Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals will also be attracted to him.”</p>
<p>Sixth Hair’s expression shook, the visible worry lessening by a lot.</p>
<p>He repeatedly nodded his head: “Lord, you are correct.”</p>
<p>Ying Wu Xie heaved a long sigh: “You will still have to continue to watch Fang Yuan. You are already exposed, but Fang Yuan won’t make a move against you. It is okay if we are not able to suppress him. He has obtained so many Immortal Gu just now, they will certainly be a large burden to him. Moreover, the calamities and tribulations will divert even more of his energy. Let him develop, wait until I gather strength and save our main body, then we shall settle the score with him!”</p>
<p>One could learn from experience, after having experienced so much, Ying Wu Xie was rapidly maturing.</p>
<p>He understood what he could give up, and more importantly, learned to patiently endure.</p>
<p>He was, after all, one of the split souls of Spectral Soul, and had the natural skill to become a powerful expert.</p>
<p>Suffering and setbacks were of value in life, and he was rapidly growing up because of them.</p>
<p>Northern Plains, Lang Ya blessed land.</p>
<p>Some time had already passed since the transactions with Ying Wu Xie.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan gazed at the immortal zombie body in front of him, and sighed.</p>
<p>“I don’t dare to use it…” Fang Yuan rubbed his chin, feeling troubled.</p>
<p>After he had regained his immortal zombie body, although he had used almost all the means available to him at present to conduct many careful inspections, he did not find any issues.</p>
<p>But what origin did Ying Wu Xie have? What origin did Shadow Sect have?</p>
<p>Spectral Soul Demon Venerable!</p>
<p>He was the progenitor of soul path, a Gu Venerable, a person who had once ruled over the world and all living beings!</p>
<p>Would his split soul, Ying Wu Xie, have some kind of soul path method to create a sinister trap within this body?</p>
<p>It was very possible!</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s transaction with Ying Wu Xie had not been under any information path restriction from the beginning to the end.</p>
<p>Because neither side trusted the other.</p>
<p>Moreover, Fang Yuan’s information path methods were definitely inferior to Ying Wu Xie’s. If he used an information path method to restrict himself, it was very possible the other party would secretly break it, and this would make it even more unfavorable to Fang Yuan!</p>
<p>Thus, he was completely unable to guarantee the safety of this body.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan wanted this immortal zombie body back mainly to obtain the acknowledgement of wisdom Gu and use the light of wisdom. So he needed to put his soul into this immortal zombie vessel.</p>
<p>This was very dangerous.</p>
<p>Shadow Sect was most proficient in matters regarding the soul.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan did not discover any issues, perhaps Ying Wu Xie had not tampered with it, but the more likely possibility was that there was a huge issue with this immortal zombie body, only that Fang Yuan did not have the ability to discover it.</p>
<p>Spectral Soul Demon Venerable was the founder of soul path, Fang Yuan trying to decipher soul path methods was like an amateur performing in front of an expert.</p>
<p>“Looks like I still need to inspect this body for a while. I can’t be careless, any slight carelessness and I might fall into a scheme of Shadow Sect.” Fang Yuan warned himself.</p>
<p>Only when he was a hundred percent sure of safety would Fang Yuan use this body.</p>
<p>Or perhaps when there were no other options, he might choose to take the risk.</p>
<p>“Although I can’t use wisdom Gu, regaining my body and Spring Autumn Cicada is already a great success.”</p>
<p>Spring Autumn Cicada had all along been Fang Yuan’s greatest trump card.</p>
<p>Now that Fang Yuan had gotten his body back, Spring Autumn Cicada, which remained in the first aperture as the vital Gu, was naturally also back.</p>
<p>In the previous negotiations, when Fang Yuan mentioned for Spring Autumn Cicada to be returned, he was met with strong denial from Sixth Hair.</p>
<p>He refused to admit Ying Wu Xie had Spring Autumn Cicada.</p>
<p>Because neither side was restricted by information path methods, Fang Yuan would not be able to tell apart truth or lies. There were no consequences for lying.</p>
<p>However, Fang Yuan was even more unreasonable, directly saying: “That is impossible! If you truly did not have, then you people would have refined it. In any case, I don’t care about others, but you must return my Spring Autumn Cicada!”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had no bottom line and his stance was extremely resolute.</p>
<p>Even though Sixth Hair said that he would swear on his life, shouting loudly as he vowed, Fang Yuan’s attitude was unchanged.</p>
<p>After wasting a good amount of time, Fang Yuan regained his body and Spring Autumn Cicada.</p>
<p>However, Spring Autumn Cicada had an issue.</p>
<p>It was sealed by Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals using some strange methods, it was already cut off from the River of Time and was currently in a starving state.</p>
<p>Moreover, Fang Yuan also knew Spring Autumn Cicada had heaven’s will in it, this was his biggest threat!</p>
<p>The immortal zombie body and Spring Autumn Cicada, both had dangers lurking within them and could not be used.</p>
<p>But even so, Fang Yuan was happy.</p>
<p>Even if I can’t use them, as long as they are in my possession, it is a huge victory!</p>
<p>Especially when Spring Autumn Cicada was a huge trump card!</p>
<p>After regaining Spring Autumn Cicada and the immortal zombie body, Fang Yuan demanded Fixed Immortal Travel in the second transaction.</p>
<p>But where would Sixth Hair get it from?</p>
<p>No matter how forceful Fang Yuan was, it was no use. Moreover, he could also guess Fixed Immortal Travel might truly have been destroyed. If they had Fixed Immortal Travel, they would have already used Fixed Immortal Travel to make an escape, why would they come to be extorted by him?</p>
<p>A more crucial matter was that Fang Yuan and Sixth Hair had already completed a transaction.</p>
<p>With the transaction, it meant betraying Lang Ya Sect.</p>
<p>Sixth Hair had a hold over Fang Yuan, land spirits were single-minded and obstinate, if he discovered this, no matter how Fang Yuan tried to explain, it would probably be of no use.</p>
<p>So Fang Yuan finally gave up on Fixed Immortal Travel.</p>
<p>Although he could not obtain Fixed Immortal Travel, Fang Yuan obtained a large number of Immortal Gu in this transaction.</p>
<p>A large number!</p>
<p>Among them were Hei Lou Lan’s strength qi Immortal Gu, self strength Immortal Gu and flying bear strength Immortal Gu, as well as Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s Landscape as Before and Man as Before. Among Fang Yuan’s own, there was pulling mountain Immortal Gu, pulling water Immortal Gu, star eyes Immortal Gu, and calamity beckoning Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>Iron crown eagle strength Immortal Gu and connect luck Immortal Gu had already been placed in treasure yellow heaven by Ying Wu Xie, and since treasure yellow heaven was closed, these two Immortal Gu were also trapped within it.</p>
<p>Eat Strength, Cleanse Soul, Fixed Immortal Travel, Star Shoot, Star Mark and Starlight had all self-detonated under Fang Yuan’s special will, and Ying Wu Xie had not been able to save them.</p>
<p>Naturally, this information could be false as well.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan and Sixth Hair were not bound by information path methods. The bottom lines of both sides had to be probed out by themselves. Maybe Ying Wu Xie had secretly withheld some Immortal Gu, but Fang Yuan had already done everything he could and had no way to make Ying Wu Xie spit them out.</p>
<p>After all, every time Fang Yuan transacted, he would be betraying Lang Ya Sect once more, and his tough stance would weaken by some degree. While Shadow Sect had obtained a portion of the immortal materials and their weak stance gradually strengthened by some degree.</p>
<p>Of course, Fang Yuan had the firm upper hand from start to finish. After all, Ying Wu Xie was the one in a bad situation.</p>
<p>But Fang Yuan also did not want Ying Wu Xie to die so quickly.</p>
<p>If he died, as long as he left behind some clues to Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals, Fang Yuan would soon be met with disaster.</p>
<p>It was a much better situation with Ying Wu Xie attracting the enemies ahead of him. Heavenly Court and Shadow Sect could mutually weaken each other, while Fang Yuan observed from the sidelines.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was aware that since he had stolen sovereign immortal fetus Gu, Shadow Sect would absolutely try to kill him. But this was also a reason for Shadow Sect to secretly protect him.</p>
<p>Ma Hong Yun’s example was right in front of him. Fang Yuan knew he was Ma Hong Yun from Shadow Sect’s point of view, Shadow Sect definitely wanted to re-refine sovereign immortal fetus Gu. It was just that the situation currently did not permit them to do this.</p>
<p>Since Ying Wu Xie had looked for Fang Yuan to do transactions, it meant he was truly at a dead end. Fang Yuan had to leave him some hope.</p>
<p>If Fang Yuan truly forced him until he gave up and went to drag both of them down, Fang Yuan would also be implicated and might even die.</p>
<p>In fact, what Sixth Hair said at the beginning had been effective.</p>

<h1>Chapter 108</h1>
<p>Jiang Ya saw that Fang Yuan intended to go out, and hurriedly stopped him — “Lord Fang Yuan, a wise man does not fight when the odds are against him. This Man Shi is very strong, one of the few people who managed to escape for their lives from Bai Ning Bing, he cannot be underestimated.”</p>
<p>“Using his loss as a glorious fame, what fear is there for these kinds of people?” Fang Yuan laughed lightly, stretching his hand to put it on Jiang Ya’s shoulder, “Just sit here and drink away.”</p>
<p>“Lord…” Jiang Ya was about to urge again, but he met with Fang Yuan’s icy gaze.</p>
<p>The chilliness in Fang Yuan’s eyes caused his heart to stop.</p>
<p>He was tongue-tied, helplessly sitting on the chair again while Fang Yuan took a few strides and left the partitioned room, walking towards the main hall.</p>
<p>He saw that at the center on a square table, a Rank two Gu Master had one foot stepping on a stool while another stepping on the table.</p>
<p>His body was slightly short, but his arms and waist were thick. With a thick black beard, extending downwards from his cheeks to meet at his chin, his body emitted a strong aura of ferociousness.</p>
<p>The ground near him had broken wine pot fragments, and most of the liquor had seeped into the ground along the concrete cracks on the floor.</p>
<p>Only two or three puddles of wine accumulated on the surface, or in the broken pots.</p>
<p>The shopkeeper old man bowed his head low as he apologised in trepidation, “Lord please be appeased, if this wine is not to your satisfaction, the shop will give you another brew free of charge!”</p>
<p>“Hmph, I don’t want wine! Your wine tastes like shit, why are you opening a shop. Compensation, I must be compensated! My good mood was ruined by you guys, you have to compensate me at least five hundred primeval stones!” Man Shi demanded a ridiculous amount.</p>
<p>“This is the third time already, it seems this wine tavern has offended some people.”</p>
<p>“Sigh, let’s not drink here anymore.”</p>
<p>“Quick, go, when Gu Masters fight, we mortals suffer.”</p>
<p>The surrounding people frantically left their seats, only a few Gu Masters remained and continued their chat.</p>
<p>“I heard this tavern is opened by Fang Yuan, who is it that is finding fault with him?”</p>
<p>“Oh! The one whose parents died and inherited their fortune, the lad who got rich overnight?”</p>
<p>“No wonder people are doing this, even if it is me, I’d be jealous. Just think, we fight for our lives out there for these fortunes to live a stable life. But he Fang Yuan is merely a newbie, what rights does he have to obtain these things!”</p>
<p>“That’s right, even if his ancestors are taking care of their future generations, times have changed. The clan’s resources are limited. Everyone can only get a small piece of the pie. How can he, a C grade talent, enjoy such fortune at this age? Preposterous!”</p>
<p>“Is Man Shi trying to anger him into a duel? If they had a Gu fight, he might be able to get a piece of the pie.”</p>
<p>Someone shook his head, “Heh, you think those clan elders are fools?”</p>
<p>Someone nodded, “Could be true. The clan policies are there, haven’t you guys understood from all these years? To a degree, they allow us to compete, the strong should get more resources, isn’t that right? If the weak cannot protect their assets, they would have to give it up. It is all for the clan’s prosperity!”</p>
<p>“Mm, makes sense. Let’s see first. There’s something going on here. I heard that Man Shi has a retired elder behind him,” someone suppressed his voice and said.</p>
<p>“Who dares to leave, all of you stand there, no one is to leave!” On the table, Man Shi suddenly shouted.</p>
<p>Those mortal drinkers were already at the doorstep, but did not dare to disobey, they all stood at the spot in horror. Some of the pedestrians found that there was drama going on and they went to the doorstep, stopping to watch the show.</p>
<p>“Purely here to find trouble!” Fang Yuan upon seeing this scene, his face was emotionless, but his eyes glinted with cold light.</p>
<p>Man Shi saw him.</p>
<p>“Oh? You are that Fang Yuan right. Junior, your wine tavern is cheating my money with your horrible wine. However, since you are a newbie, I’ll give you a chance to repent and apologise in public. If not others will say that I, Man Shi is bullying a junior with my status. Hahaha!”</p>
<p>Man Shi laughed loudly, “As long as you apologise and bow to me, this matter will be over. I walk my talk, I will do as I promised!”</p>
<p>He patted his chest in thunderous volume, showing an air of magnanimity, but his intention could not lie to the surrounding Gu Masters.</p>
<p>“What a bastard move.”</p>
<p>“That’s right, If Fang Yuan apologised, he would no longer be able to raise his head, and anyone would come over and step on him and bully his weakness. But if he does not apologise, that is disrespecting a senior, and with such an attitude, the entire community will keep him away.”</p>
<p>“Yeah, he’s stuck with two difficult decisions… oh my, what the fuck!!!”</p>
<p>The Gu Masters whispered, but suddenly someone’s mouth went wide open, able to swallow a duck’s egg.</p>
<p>The remaining Gu Masters were in a similar state.</p>
<p>Some stared until their eyeballs almost fell out.</p>
<p>Some choked and spilled out the wine in their mouths.</p>
<p>Some stared in utter disbelief, like statues.</p>
<p>They were here to watch a show, an enjoyable show.</p>
<p>In the end, Fang Yuan not only satisfied their wish, but also gave them a great “surprise”. The young man instantly flicked his wrist and shot a moonblade out.</p>
<p>Pew!</p>
<p>The moonblade of the Moonglow Gu!</p>
<p>The eerie blue crescent fang flew in the air, as large as a face. Trailing along a square desk, it was quickly cut like tofu into two halves.</p>
<p>“Eh?!” Man Shi’s laughter stood, his pupils dilated as the moonblade became increasingly larger in his eyes.</p>
<p>In the blink of an eye, the eerie blue moonblade was already near his face, showing every single strand of his moustache with its glow.</p>
<p>Facing strong feelings of death, at the very last moment, Man Shi screamed out in panic, “Monolith Gu!”</p>
<p>Immediately, his entire body had a deep grey light. His skin turned and became rock skin.</p>
<p>But before it had fully grown, the moonblade had already hit his chest.</p>
<p>With a light sound, the rock skin tore open and Man Shi’s chest became a large diagonal injury. Blood spilled and poured out of his large wound.</p>
<p>“Ah—!” Intense pain rushed through his nerves as Man Shi shouted out in horror, his voice full of disbelief and shock.</p>
<p>He had never expected Fang Yuan to attack immediately without a single word.</p>
<p>He dared to attack!</p>
<p>In the village, directly using a Gu worm and attacking a clansman?!</p>
<p>Not to say Man Shi, even the onlookers showed utter disbelief, and were lost for words.</p>
<p>“What situation is this, is this lad crazy?!”</p>
<p>“Not saying a word and immediately going for a fatal attack! Isn’t he afraid of killing Man Shi and being arrested by the punishment hall, paying for his crimes?”</p>
<p>“Young men are way too rash.”</p>
<p>“Did you guys see that moonblade? It is definitely not the Moonlight Gu but the Moonglow Gu, to think Fang Yuan succeeded in his fusion already.”</p>
<p>“Fang Yuan, what are you doing?!” Man Shi stood on the square table, tearing his throat and screaming in a thunderous volume with a face full of ruthlessness.</p>
<p>His entire body’s muscles bulged, growing into rock skin at a deeper intensity. The injury was also covered by the rock skin, but large amount of blood still poured out, although less of a fountain.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s face was calm as he continued his walk. He did not talk, or rather, he did not have the intention to talk.</p>
<p>He made another move to reply to Man Shi.</p>
<p>Another moonblade!</p>
<p>Pew.</p>
<p>The moonblade flew across the short distance and shot out.</p>
<p>“You!” Man Shi had no time to talk, but raised his arms and protected his brain and chest.</p>
<p>His limbs were covered with a thick deep grey coloured rock, as if arms made from a statue, sturdy and thick.</p>
<p>The moonblade hit his arms, cutting a deep wound, numerous small rock fragments flying out.</p>
<p>The moonblade’s strength caused Man Shi’s body to fly backwards.</p>
<p>His entire body was made of rocks, causing his weight to rise drastically. Finally, the table under him could not bear the weight, and with a crack, it collapsed completely.</p>
<p>Man Shi lost his footing and fell on the ground, his defenses revealing a weakness.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan walked slowly, his eyes shining in cold light as he captured the weakness, and fired another moonblade at it.</p>
<p>The moonblade tore through the air and emitted a swooshing sound of the wind.</p>
<p>Man Shi hurriedly raised his hands, but he underestimated Fang Yuan’s intense battle experience. Although the moonblade was moving straight, it tunneled for an angle not parallel to the ground.</p>
<p>Man Shi’s arm could block half of the moonblade, but the other half hit his chest.</p>
<p>Injury on top of injury, Man Shi’s chest had even greater blood loss now.</p>
<p>“Is, is he going to kill him?” The Gu Masters who were originally sitting on the seat could not stand it any longer, and they all got up.</p>
<p>The mortals did not dare to make any noise. They watched in fear and anticipation.</p>
<p>Gu Masters killing each other, it triggered something that had been repressed in their hearts all along.</p>
<p>Man Shi breathed heavily, wanting to climb up. But due to his injuries, the intense pain caused his hard work to be wasted as he crashed on the ground once again with a thump.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan walked over slowly.</p>
<p>Man Shi lost a lot of blood, and his face was pale. He stared at Fang Yuan in horror. Fang Yuan was walking slowly with a cold expression, getting closer, bringing him greater pressure by the second.</p>
<p>“Fang Yuan, you cannot kill me! Killing me, you will be arrested by the punishment hall!” Man Shi pushed against the floor, trying to move backwards.</p>
<p>He was still bleeding, and along with his body, carved a bright red line on the concrete.</p>
<p>The gallery was silent.</p>
<p>Everyone was stunned by Fang Yuan’s cold aura and held their breaths as they wanted. Nobody felt that Man Shi was a worthless piece of shit. Without any composure, they would not have fared any better if they were in his shoes.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan walked to Man Shi, raised a leg and harshly stepped on his chest injury.</p>
<p>The pain caused Man Shi to draw in a cold breath.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan continued to stomp, and Man Shi began to feel immense pain; like a wild boar charging around was trampling him repeatedly.</p>
<p>He could not endure it any longer, screaming loudly. Even with the thick rock skin’s protection, his chest was still enduring great pressure from Fang Yuan, and the injury area was still overflowing with blood.</p>
<p>More importantly, Fang Yuan’s right hand was covered in an eerie blue moonlight, held in place but not fired yet.</p>
<p>This was the symptom before a moonblade attack. Man Shi thought this worriedly as he did not dare to move a muscle.</p>
<p>“You, you cannot kill me!” He stared with his eyes wide open, growling in difficulty.</p>
<p>“I won’t kill you.” Fang Yuan said the first sentence since he arrived.</p>
<p>His tone was flat, and in the dead silent wine tavern, it reverbed into everyone’s ears.</p>
<p>“But I can cripple you, breaking one of your arms, or a leg. According to the clan rules, I have to compensate you a number of primeval stones and be imprisoned for some time. But what about you? Your remaining life would be spent in bed, your injury would reduce your battle capability greatly, and you shall no longer be able to execute missions. Do you think this result is acceptable for you?” Fang Yuan stared down at the sprawling Man Shi, slowly reasoning.</p>
<p>The emotionless voice travelled into Man Shi’s ears, causing his heart to stop and his body to shudder.</p>
<p>He opened his mouth, breathing heavily, his brain becoming more chaotic. Fang Yuan’s leg exerted strength that made him feel like he was being crushed by a rock, making him feel harder to breathe.</p>
<p>“Damn it, damn it! If I was on guard, if I was not caught off guard and were injured at the start, how could he… Urgh!”</p>
<p>Man Shi’s voice came to an abrupt stop as his gaze met with Fang Yuan’s eyes.</p>
<p>He lay on the ground, staring upwards.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s half-narrowed eyes, dark and eerily looking down on him.</p>
<p>Just what sort of pair of eyes was that?</p>
<p>If it was full of killing intent, Man Shi would not be afraid. However, this pair of eyes was filled with indifference.</p>
<p>This indifference was like arrogance towards reality, the disdain towards people of the world, the trampling of life and the abandonment of rules!</p>
<p>“This pair of eyes, this pair of eyes…” Man Shi’s eyes shrunk into pin-size as the deepest memory in his heart played.</p>
<p>The nightmare of his life!</p>
<p>Two years ago, at night in the bamboo forest.</p>
<p>A young man in white clothing, similarly trampling him under his feet.</p>
<p>“Damn it, god damn it! If I had refined the Monolith Gu, how could you break my defense?” Death was impending. He screamed with his life, full of indignance.</p>
<p>“Oh, in that case, I shall not kill you.” The white-clothed young man’s lips curled, revealing a smile full of interest, “Go back to the village and cultivate harder. Refine the Monolith Gu and let’s have a match again. Hehehe, I hope that in the future, you can bring a tint of excitement to my life.” Saying so, the young man lifted his feet, sparing him.</p>
<p>Man Shi breathed roughly, lying on the ground, not expecting this turn of events.</p>
<p>He stared at this white-clothed young man in shock.</p>
<p>The young man looked at him like an ant, saying indifferently, “Why aren’t you scramming?”</p>
<p>Man Shi’s body shook as he hurriedly got up and made his escape.</p>
<p>This white-clothed young man was none other than Bai village’s number one genius, Bai Ning Bing. Back then, he was only Rank two, but could already kill Rank three clan elders!</p>
<p>Man Shi escaping from him and preserving his life caused his fame to shoot up.</p>
<p>Through the two years, Bai Ning Bing’s facial expression had become a blur in his memories, and he could only remember those eyes.</p>
<p>Eyes that looked at the common life, the world with indifference. The high and mighty iris, hiding an unbelievable pride that mortals cannot comprehend.</p>
<p>To think……</p>
<p>To think!</p>
<p>To think that in his own village, he could see these eyes!</p>
<p>At this moment, Man Shi’s heart was filled with terror, the indignance and anger in his heart dissipating without a drop of fighting spirit left.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan closely observed Man Shi’s facial expression.</p>
<p>The young man was slightly shocked, not expecting Man Shi to be so cowardly.</p>
<p>But, nevermind… just a cowardly mouse.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s objective was achieved, and he let go of his leg, “You can scram now.”</p>
<p>Man Shi felt like he had heard a divine mantra as he rolled and climbed out of the tavern with a pale face.</p>
<p>The audience were stunned.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan stood on the spot, his gaze sweeping the area.</p>
<p>The surrounding Gu Masters, Rank one and some Rank two, avoided his gaze subconsciously.</p>
<p>The shopkeeper and clerks were all terrified and excitedly worshipped him. Who did not want a strong backer?</p>
<p>Behind him, Jiang Ya was staring dumbfounded.</p>
<p>He heard a commotion and ran out, but saw Fang Yuan chasing away Man Shi.</p>
<p>That is Gu Yue Man Shi……</p>
<p>His heart was shocked to the limit, and his gaze towards Fang Yuan changed.</p>
<p>Jealousy had vanished.</p>
<p>At this point, Jiang Ya understood why Fang Yuan had such an achievement.</p>
<p>“Because he was never the same kind of person as myself!”</p>

<h1>Chapter 1080</h1>
<p>Several days later, Lang Ya blessed land.</p>
<p>Two figures were cutting through the air, before they suddenly stopped.</p>
<p>“This land is a desolate area, it is suitable for our spar.” The figure ahead observed the surroundings, and spoke leisurely.</p>
<p>“Brother Fang is right.” The figure behind was a hairy man Gu Immortal named Twelfth Hair, he spoke brightly and with a grin on his face.</p>
<p>Compared to the other hairy man Gu Immortals in Lang Ya Sect, Twelfth Hair was somewhat special.</p>
<p>Because he not only cultivated refinement path, but also cultivated enslavement path. He was a dual cultivator of refinement and enslavement path.</p>
<p>It was not an easy thing for Gu Immortals to cultivate two paths, because almost all Gu Immortals only had one immortal aperture. When they underwent immortal ascension, the Gu worm they used for breaking open their aperture into an immortal aperture would be what decided their main cultivation path. The dao marks added on from passing tribulations would mostly be of their main path as well.</p>
<p>However, in this world, there were many Gu Immortals that cultivated two paths as well, they were mostly rank six and rank seven. Cultivating one path primarily, while cultivating another path as a secondary path.</p>
<p>Such Gu Immortals often had fortuitous encounters, obtaining Immortal Gu that were suitable for cultivating two paths. For instance, Fang Yuan’s eat strength Immortal Gu could increase his strength path dao marks. If Gu Immortals of other paths obtained it, they could also dual cultivate strength path.</p>
<p>Twelfth Hair was not an exception.</p>
<p>In his early years, because of an unexpected surprise when refining Gu, he obtained a completely new Gu embryo from the failed refinement. After his immortal ascension, he raised this Gu to rank six and named it Immortal Slave. This Gu could add enslavement path dao marks to his body.</p>
<p>This made him rather special among all the hairy man Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>The previous Lang Ya land spirit had taken great care of him. Although enslavement path did not have much of a relation to refinement path, Lang Ya land spirit encouraged Twelfth Hair to continue cultivating both paths, because the enslavement path dao marks in Twelfth Hair could provide huge help when refining enslavement path Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>The current Lang Ya land spirit regarded Twelfth Hair with even more respect. But what he prioritized was the aspect of battle strength. Twelfth Hair cultivated enslavement path, this was an excellent foundation. Lang Ya land spirit even gave beast enslavement Immortal Gu to him, intending to nurture him as their enslavement path battle strength!</p>
<p>Every emperor had his own favorites, but Twelfth Hair was even more well-liked and was the favorite of the current Lang Ya land spirit.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had not been very sure on the details about these hairy men. But in the secret transactions with Ying Wu Xie, he obtained much intel about Lang Ya blessed land.</p>
<p>The intel could not be said to be very precious, but they were of extremely huge help to Fang Yuan, letting him have a comprehensive understanding of Lang Ya Sect.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan and Twelfth Hair both descended to the ground.</p>
<p>Cloud Cover Continent’s ground was made from cloud soil, it was white and slightly soft. It was very different from the sensation of an ordinary muddy surface.</p>
<p>“Twelfth brother, please.” Fang Yuan gestured with his hand.</p>
<p>“Haha, Brother Fang, I won’t stand on ceremony then! Chestnut yak, come out!” Twelfth Hair laughed loudly, he somersaulted and while landing on the ground, he hit the ground with his palms.</p>
<p>He looked like he was horsing around, before suddenly performed a kneeling ceremony towards Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Gu Immortals paid attention to their bearing, this kind of humiliating action was absolutely avoided by human Gu Immortals. But these hairy man Gu Immortals were different, they had gone through the previous Lang Ya land spirit’s nurturing, each of them were very straightforward with very shallow battle strength!</p>
<p>Over these last days, Fang Yuan was already used to the unusual.</p>
<p>Twelfth Hair knelt towards Fang Yuan, his excited expression suddenly stiffened.</p>
<p>“Ah.” He raised his head, looking at Fang Yuan, “How embarrassing, I failed.”</p>
<p>“No problem.” Fang Yuan warmly smiled: “It is an immortal killer move, failure in activation is an unavoidable matter, try again.”</p>
<p>“Yes, yes!” Twelfth Hair repeatedly nodded his head, somersaulting once again towards the back and with a slam, his knees and hands touched the ground simultaneously.</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>Silence.</p>
<p>After being at a standstill for several breaths of time, Twelfth Hair stuck his tongue out, licking his lips: “Damn, I failed again. Let me try again!”</p>
<p>Swoosh!</p>
<p>A somersault.</p>
<p>Slam.</p>
<p>Kneeling towards Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>Another few seconds of standstill, but there was still silence.</p>
<p>“Let me try again! I don’t believe it.” Twelfth Hair shouted in determination.</p>
<p>Swoosh!</p>
<p>A somersault.</p>
<p>Slam.</p>
<p>Kneeling towards Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>Another few seconds of standstill, but there was still silence.</p>
<p>“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, wait a while.” Twelfth Hair said to Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan warmly smiled: “It is understandable, understandable.”</p>
<p>Twelfth Hair gratefully nodded his head as he made an attempt again.</p>
<p>Swoosh!</p>
<p>A somersault.</p>
<p>Slam.</p>
<p>Kneeling towards Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>Another few seconds of standstill, but there was still silence.</p>
<p>This continued for a dozen or so times without any success. Fang Yuan had not even made any move, but Twelfth Hair had already spurted out several mouthfuls of blood, moreover blood was seeping out of his ears as well, his face getting paler and paler.</p>
<p>Failure in activating an immortal killer move would cause backlash to the Gu Immortal.</p>
<p>Even Fang Yuan also could not bear to see this continue, and could not resist reminding: “From my observation, twelfth brother, your somersaulting has almost no use towards the immortal killer move, might as well try discarding it.”</p>
<p>“Somersaulting?” Twelfth Hair scratched his head and said, innocently, “This is my meticulously designed movement. Don’t you feel somersaulting will make me look imposing and cool?”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s face almost was distorted to the point of lines appearing, as he thought: “Your movement of kneeling towards your enemy is indeed ‘imposing’.”</p>
<p>But Twelfth Hair was also an obedient person who knew to correct his mistake: “Since Brother Fang thinks it is inappropriate, then I will change it.”</p>
<p>After that, Twelfth Hair no longer somersaulted.</p>
<p>Instead, slam, he directly knelt towards Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>It was a standstill, several breaths later, he stood up, puffing out a mouthful of blood, refusing to give in, he said: “Let me try again.”</p>
<p>Several tries later, an azure blue radiance suddenly blossomed from Twelfth Hair’s hands.</p>
<p>The radiance quickly enlarged, and actually formed a blue lake on the ground.</p>
<p>The lake water surged and a cattle shaped desolate beast rode the giant wave, charging towards Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Rumble!</p>
<p>The blue lake water washed to the shore, the giant yak stepped on the ground and grunted towards the sky.</p>
<p>Whoosh—!</p>
<p>A formless sound wave squeezed out the air and actually stirred up a vortex.</p>
<p>This giant yak was bluish black with a large head and thick lips. A pair of bull horns spaced quite far apart pierced towards the sky.</p>
<p>It had a wide chest and a large stomach, but it gradually became slim towards the rear. The whole body looked huge at the front and small at the back.</p>
<p>The lower side of its body and its four legs were covered with thick hair that were drooping down to the ground. Its tail was thick and large like a brown broom.</p>
<p>There was no doubt of the might of this giant yak, and it also had a superb debut, brimming with a tyrannical aura, forming a completely stark comparison with Twelfth Hair’s performance.</p>
<p>However…</p>
<p>Fang Yuan did not care.</p>
<p>Chestnut yak… this giant yak might be a desolate beast, but it was well-known for its low battle strength. The impressions of many Gu Immortals towards it were of the unique flavor of its meat, it could be eaten raw and tasted like chestnuts. This was the reason for its name.</p>
<p>But the chestnut yak’s battle strength was naturally not the weakest among desolate beasts.</p>
<p>The publicly recognized weakest desolate beast were desolate beast dragonfish, which Fang Yuan was breeding.</p>
<p>“It finally activated.” Twelfth Hair was jubilant, and shouted as he pointed at Fang Yuan, “Chestnut yak, charge!”</p>
<p>Snort!</p>
<p>The chestnut yak grunted towards the sky once again, but did not move.</p>
<p>Twelfth Hair’s face flushed with embarrassment, and seeming holding back his anger, he commanded again: “Charge, charge, charge, you foolish yak!”</p>
<p>The chestnut yak only then started to rush forward.</p>
<p>It was already at a very short distance away from Fang Yuan, and reached Fang Yuan within a few steps.</p>
<p>Strong winds surged forward.</p>
<p>The chestnut yak was enormous, and as it rushed, it was like four carriages stacked together, it had quite an imposing aura.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan chuckled.</p>
<p>Inside his immortal aperture, change form Immortal Gu flew up.</p>
<p>Following it, all kinds of supplementary mortal Gu flew up and revolved around change form Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>Transformation path immortal killer move — Flying Bear Transformation!</p>
<p>Bright radiance suddenly erupted.</p>
<p>An intense light forced Twelfth Hair to close his eyes.</p>
<p>Twelfth Hair quickly activated his investigative Gu, a layer of transparent crystal covered his eyes and he was able to open his eyes again.</p>
<p>The light had yet to dissipate, but Twelfth Hair was able to see the scene clearly.</p>
<p>Bam.</p>
<p>The chestnut yak seemed to have collided into a giant beast.</p>
<p>This giant beast was even larger than it.</p>
<p>The chestnut yak’s collision showed no results.</p>
<p>At this time, the light dissipated, and revealed the true appearance of the giant beast.</p>
<p>This was a giant white bear, its physique was burly and bulky, and its body was covered in short and densely packed white fur. It had sharp claws, and its short tail was curled up like a white pompom, appearing somewhat cute.</p>
<p>This was a transformation of Fang Yuan, into a desolate beast flying bear.</p>
<p>When the chestnut yak saw this flying bear, its eyes immediately popped open as its imposing aura vanished like a flickering candle, it gave a miserable cry before actually turning around and running away.</p>
<p>Twelfth Hair yelled furiously at this: “You cowardly yak, you are also a desolate beast, damn it, go back.”</p>
<p>He activated his enslavement path method and was only able to regain his control over the chestnut yak after it had ran a large distance. The yak once again charged towards the flying bear.</p>
<p>The chestnut yak was herbivorous and had a docile nature. This chestnut yak had been raised by the previous Lang Ya land spirit in order to use its meat as Gu refinement immortal material.</p>
<p>Because of Shadow Sect’s sudden attack, Lang Ya blessed land’s other desolate beasts all died. So Twelfth Hair could only use this chestnut yak to practice his skills.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan quietly stood on the spot and only when the yak had reached in front of him, did he exert strength in his limbs and erupt.</p>
<p>Whoosh!</p>
<p>The flying bear’s enormous physique did not implicate its speed in the least, as it easily dodged to the side.</p>
<p>The chestnut yak brushed past the flying bear.</p>
<p>The flying bear roared and suddenly turned around, leaping towards the sky.</p>
<p>As it descended, the flying bear stretched out its right paw and slammed at the back of the chestnut yak.</p>
<p>Bam.</p>
<p>There was a strong collision, white cloud soil flew all around.</p>
<p>The chestnut yak was heavily injured and was actually slammed to the ground by one smack from the flying bear.</p>
<p>A huge crater formed on the level ground.</p>
<p>The chestnut yak was defeated in the blink of an eye, lying on the crater without moving, its eyes revealed its terror and its whole body was trembling.</p>

<h1>Chapter 1081</h1>
<p>The chestnut yak was slammed down by Fang Yuan’s own paw, and did not dare to climb back up again.</p>
<p>No matter what methods Twelfth Hair used, he was unable to make this chestnut yak climb back up and fight again.</p>
<p>“The desolate beast is weak, the Gu Immortal is also useless.” Fang Yuan shook his head internally, and dispelled his immortal killer move.</p>
<p>In moments, the giant flying bear turned into a ball of light.</p>
<p>From within the ball, Fang Yuan’s figure slowly walked out and descended to the ground.</p>
<p>“I lost once again. Brother Fang is truly amazing!” Twelfth Hair tried for a long time but seeing no success, he could only cup his fists towards Fang Yuan, admitting defeat.</p>
<p>He and Fang Yuan had sparred several times already.</p>
<p>At first, after he lost, he did not admit defeat and remained obstinate. But after several times, he was already less affected, loss became normal and victory instead was the anomaly.</p>
<p>“Twelfth brother, you should practice your immortal killer move more frequently. And this chestnut yak is weak and timid, it is better if you change to another desolate beast as soon as possible.” Fang Yuan advised.</p>
<p>Twelfth Hair repeatedly nodded his head and sighed: “This is all because treasure yellow heaven is closed! When it opens, I will immediately buy a desolate beast for combat. This yak already has none of its wild nature left, I already thought of throwing it away. But I need to bear the cost of buying a desolate beast myself, this is the rule created after the sect was established. Sigh, my beast enslavement Immortal Gu is also not mine, I still need to pay to use it. Enough talking, I need to hurry back to refine Gu and sell them to earn immortal essence stones.”</p>
<p>“See you.” Fang Yuan nodded.</p>
<p>Twelfth Hair took back the chestnut yak and hurriedly left.</p>
<p>“Good, I have obtained twenty sect contribution points again.” Fang Yuan gazed at the receding figure of Twelfth Hair, his mind rippling with some joy.</p>
<p>Over these last few days, he had not only been sparring with Twelfth Hair, he also had similar contact with other hairy man Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>Although the secret transactions between Fang Yuan and Sixth Hair had already finished, Sixth Hair repeatedly visiting Fang Yuan’s cloud city during the process was a small flaw.</p>
<p>Although Fang Yuan had joined Lang Ya Sect and become an external supreme elder, there had always been a barrier between him and the hairy man Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>After all, the human race was powerful currently while hairy men were a type of variant human which suffered persecution from humans.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan might be on their side, but the hairy man Gu Immortals kept away from him. Why would Sixth Hair suddenly pay visits to Fang Yuan on his own initiative? This would certainly incite doubts.</p>
<p>To fix this flaw, after the transaction, Sixth Hair subtly revealed to the other hairy man Gu Immortals that he looked for Fang Yuan in order to raise his battle strength. Because the previous sudden invasion by Shadow Sect, along with the tribulations just now, had made him feel his battle strength was truly lacking, so he looked for the human Gu Immortal, Fang Yuan, to ask for advice.</p>
<p>To increase the trustworthiness of his words, Sixth Hair sparred with the other hairy man Gu Immortals and defeated them.</p>
<p>Sixth Hair was a spy, one of the split souls of Spectral Soul. He had deep combat proficiency and just using a little bit of it was enough for him to easily defeat them all.</p>
<p>This event caused a commotion in the small circle of hairy man Gu Immortals, even Lang Ya land spirit heard about it and affirmed Sixth Hair’s actions in front of everyone. He even encouraged other hairy man Gu Immortals to ask for guidance from Fang Yuan. After all, the extremely low battle strength of the hairy man Gu Immortals had all along been a worry for Lang Ya land spirit.</p>
<p>After Sixth Hair, other hairy man Gu Immortals went to Fang Yuan for guidance. With just a little thinking, Fang Yuan realized Sixth Hair’s intention and enthusiastically welcomed the other hairy man Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>Because this was a profitable thing with no harm to Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>First of all, he would be relying on Lang Ya Sect for a long period of time to cultivate more conveniently and be safer when undergoing tribulations. So having a good relationship with these hairy man Gu Immortals was a must.</p>
<p>Second, like Sixth Hair’s considerations, Fang Yuan had to cooperate as well to make up for the flaw created because of the transactions.</p>
<p>Lastly, Fang Yuan needed sect contribution points.</p>
<p>From now on, if he wanted Lang Ya land spirit’s help to borrow the strength of Lang Ya Sect, he could not always negotiate deals with Lang Ya land spirit.</p>
<p>Previously, he could make deals with Lang Ya land spirit because the land spirit had taken a fancy upon his Luo Po Valley, Dang Hun Mountain and wisdom Gu.</p>
<p>But from now on, to make Lang Ya Sect help him, the main thing would be to use sect contribution points.</p>
<p>This was Lang Ya Sect’s rule. Even Lang Ya land spirit took the initiative to comply to it.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit had already issued sect missions, the types of missions were mainly about guiding hairy man Gu Immortals to raise their battle strength.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit himself was not suitable for these missions, and Fang Yuan was the only suitable candidate.</p>
<p>In these last few days, Fang Yuan guided many hairy man Gu Immortals and the response was extremely enthusiastic.</p>
<p>Even when the hairy man Gu Immortals who came later did not receive good training, they did not blame Fang Yuan and instead found reasons caused by themselves.</p>
<p>On one hand, Sixth Hair set an example, on the other, Fang Yuan knew about the information of these hairy men, and used his exquisite communicative skills to enthusiastically get along with them, making these hairy man Gu Immortals have a huge change in their impression of Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>As for why Fang Yuan knew about the information of these hairy man Gu Immortals, that was because he had obtained a lot of intel about Lang Ya blessed land from his transactions with Shadow Sect.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan calculated: “With this, my sect contribution points amount to over one hundred and forty. This is quite lucrative.”</p>
<p>Every time he gave guidance would provide Fang Yuan twenty sect contribution points.</p>
<p>Previously, when Fang Yuan had lent Dang Hun Mountain, Luo Po Valley and other resources, he had only earned about three hundred contribution points.</p>
<p>“These one hundred and forty sect contribution points are enough to exchange for some flowing light fruits.” With such thoughts, Fang Yuan moved towards the first cloud city.</p>
<p>In first cloud city, he saw Lang Ya land spirit.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit sized up Fang Yuan and praised: “As worthy of change form Immortal Gu! This hairy man Gu Immortal you have transformed into has almost no flaws, unless I use investigative Immortal Gu.”</p>
<p>When Fang Yuan was arriving, he suddenly had a brilliant idea, and used change form Immortal Gu to transform into a hairy man Gu Immortal.</p>
<p>His aim was clear, it was to get into to Lang Ya land spirit’s good books.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit held the ideology of hairy men rulership, and when he saw this appearance of Fang Yuan, he smiled happily and started praising change form Immortal Gu. In fact, he found his opinion of Fang Yuan rising.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan, however, sighed and spoke with a bitter tone: “This transformation is still not complete, although I have change form Immortal Gu, I lack everlasting Immortal Gu. If I had everlasting Immortal Gu, I could completely transform into a hairy man and truly become a member of Lang Ya Sect! Lord first supreme elder, you might not know, but after these days of being in contact with other hairy man Gu Immortals, I am deeply moved. Human Gu Immortals are crafty and on guard against each other. But hairy men are forthright and sincere, united, warm and cordial, this is a true home. I already can’t bear to part with this place.”</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit laughed heartily and repeatedly patted Fang Yuan’s shoulder: “Fang Yuan, having such an awareness is good, very good!”</p>
<p>If he knew Fang Yuan had transacted with Shadow Sect just some days ago and did not report the spy, he would flay Fang Yuan, this insidious fellow, alive!</p>
<p>But what a pity, Lang Ya land spirit did not know any of it.</p>
<p>“I have seen your actions over these last days. You have guided these children and raised their battle strength by a lot, especially Sixth Hair’s! Good, good. These last days, I have heard a lot of good things about you from other hairy man Gu Immortals. Ah, what matter did you come for this time?” Lang Ya land spirit asked.</p>
<p>“I wanted to use some sect contribution points to exchange for some flowing light fruits.” Fang Yuan replied.</p>
<p>“That’s a small matter! As long as your contributions are enough, exchanging for flowing light fruits is no problem.” Lang Ya land spirit waved his hand and said frankly.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan pretended to hesitate: “I have a very slight opinion regarding Lang Ya Sect’s development. I don’t know if I should say it or not?”</p>
<p>“Tell me about it, I’m listening.” Lang Ya land spirit squinted his eyes and smiled.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan spoke: “Over these last days of sparring with many hairy man Gu Immortals, I made some findings. Their battle strength needs to be raised urgently, but how to raise them is the problem. Because all of them primarily cultivate refinement path, and although refinement path also has offensive methods, it is inferior to the offensive prowess of other paths.”</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit nodded, Fang Yuan’s words hit his core problems, he could not help but sigh: “This is precisely what I am worried about.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan continued: “Actually, there is a good way to increase battle strength, that is transformation path.”</p>
<p>“Transformation path?”</p>
<p>“Right.” Fang Yuan slowed down, before continuing: “Among all the Gu cultivation paths, to speak of the one that can increase battle strength the fastest, that would be blood path. But blood path is extremely dangerous and is too threatening to others! Its reputation is vile and it is hated by everyone. Moreover, if one’s blood path cultivation is even slightly high, their name will be added to Heavenly Court’s Demon Judgment Board, and that would expose us. So, blood path won’t do.”</p>
<p>“You are right!” Lang Ya land spirit approved.</p>
<p>Actually, he was also apprehensive towards blood path. If hairy man Gu Immortals cultivated blood path, he was worried if it would lead to internal strife and conflicts in Lang Ya Sect.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan spoke with assurance: “Besides blood path, the path that can increase battle strength the fastest is transformation path. The threshold for transformation path is very low, its immortal killer moves also don’t require any planning, any kind of transformation is an immortal killer move. Normal immortal killer moves require at least a few years of trial and error, right?”</p>
<p>“And in Lang Ya Sect, there are large numbers of Immortal Gu recipes which includes many transformation path Immortal Gu recipes. We have many Immortal Gu recipes but few immortal killer moves. If hairy man Gu Immortals cultivate refinement path primarily and transformation path as the secondary path, they can take advantage of the strengths and avoid the weaknesses.”</p>
<p>“The hairy man Gu Immortals are not hardened, to raise their battle strength would not be a day’s work. If they transformed into desolate beasts, their bodies would become tougher, even if they make some mistakes in battles, it won’t be much of a problem, they can fight back. It won’t be like other paths such as fire path and water path, the body is extremely weak and without defensive methods, they would be in extreme danger in the battlefield.”</p>
<p>“Transformation path Immortal Gu recipes are easy to deduce and their immortal materials are easy to obtain, thus the Immortal Gu are easy to refine as well.”</p>
<p>“Hairy man Gu Immortals can transform into desolate beasts to fight, and it can also be a way to disguise their hairy man identities. Although Lang Ya Sect has deep foundations, the five regions are still ruled by humans. As long as we can do so, we should give as little chance to expose ourselves as possible.”</p>

<body>
<h1>Chapter 1082</h1>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit could only keep on nodding at Fang Yuan’s well-founded words.</p>
<p>“Reasonable, reasonable!” He praised.</p>
<p>“I am flattered. This is only my shallow opinion.” Fang Yuan spoke modestly.</p>
<p>Land spirits were straightforward, Lang Ya land spirit did not understand Fang Yuan’s modesty, retorting with a shake of his head: “No, this is not just a shallow opinion, it is a true insight. Your words have inspired me greatly, they are a huge contribution towards Lang Ya Sect.”</p>
<p>“According to Lang Ya Sect’s rules, just this contribution could have raised your status by one level. For instance, Sixth Hair could promote to Fifth Hair. But you are not a true hairy man Gu Immortal right now, so you can only receive two hundred sect contribution points.”</p>
<p>At the end, Lang Ya land spirit looked at Fang Yuan and sighed in regret.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan also showed an extremely regrettable expression on his face.</p>
<p>He was only an external elder at present and did not need to complete any missions, and every month, he would get ten sect contribution points. However, other hairy man Gu Immortals were genuine members, and their monthly earnings were much higher. Moreover, the higher the hairy man Gu Immortal’s ranking, the more sect contribution points they would receive each month.</p>
<p>“How I wish to become a true hairy man!” Fang Yuan lamented, showing a genuine and sincere expression on his face, as if he truly wanted that.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit spoke: “It is a pity that treasure yellow heaven is closed at the moment, once it opens, I will start a large scale purchase of the desolate beasts.”</p>
<p>“I have a slight opinion about this.” Fang Yuan quickly spoke, “There are many hairy man Gu Immortals, and to nurture them, no matter how great our sect’s assets are, we won’t be able to bear such expenses. Moreover, this is not the way to run a business. I suggest we develop our own resources.”</p>
<p>“Oh? How do you propose we do that?” Lang Ya land spirit asked.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan replied: “Simple, like other super forces, we occupy the resources in the five regions.”</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit showed a reluctant expression.</p>
<p>He had already thought of this before and also carefully pondered its advantages and disadvantages, before considering it an undesirable choice.</p>
<p>The reason was evident, hairy men were variant humans, and could not be out in the open in the current age.</p>
<p>Although there were variant human forces in Northern Plains, one clear example being Inkman City, this Inkman City only had one inkman Gu Immortal publicly. And in history, Inkman City’s founder, Immortal Yi Yan, had paid a heavy price to reach an agreement with Giant Sun Immortal Venerable. These two factors allowed Inkman City to barely be able to survive amidst the countless powerful human forces.</p>
<p>If Lang Ya Sect’s force appeared in the open, with so many hairy man Gu Immortals, it would definitely provoke human Gu Immortals, encroaching upon their bottom line.</p>
<p>Whether it be righteous path, demonic path or lone immortal forces, they would not easily allow the existence of such a powerful outside force.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit might be straightforward, but he was not foolish. He wholeheartedly wanted to make hairy men rule the world, but he was still very aware of the current situation.</p>
<p>However, Fang Yuan had already expected this reaction from Lang Ya land spirit, as he continued: “First supreme elder, I am not suggesting for Lang Ya Sect to openly fight with human forces for the outside world’s resources. We will instead focus on occupying the resources they have not occupied, and secretly develop.”</p>
<p>Realization dawned upon Lang Ya land spirit: “You are referring to those dangerous forbidden areas?”</p>
<p>Northern Plains was vast and broad, but the large and super forces had already split the cultivation resources found within it. What remained mainly were the ten great fierce areas.</p>
<p>“First supreme elder is wise!” Fang Yuan immediately gave a thumbs up in admiring fashion: “The ten great fierce areas are dangerous, but at the same time, they contain plentiful opportunities. In my opinion, Earth Trench is a good place. We can set up a teleportation Gu formation, letting the hairy man Gu Immortals freely go back and forth the blessed land and Earth Trench. There are countless desolate beasts and ancient desolate beasts in Earth Trench, they are perfect for the hairy man Gu Immortals to train their combat abilities. Moreover, by killing these desolate beasts, we can use their body parts to refine transformation path Immortal Gu. If we capture these desolate beasts, we can also use beast enslavement Immortal Gu to enslave them and make them aid us, increasing the defense of the blessed land.”</p>
<p>One of the crucial components for this was a teleportation Gu formation.</p>
<p>Accurately speaking, a Gu formation that could transport Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>Lang Ya Sect undoubtedly possessed such a method.</p>
<p>Because when Fang Yuan was previously hurrying back from Southern Border, he used the teleportation Gu formation at Feng Bo Cliff to get rid of those troublesome cloud beasts and return to Lang Ya blessed land.</p>
<p>That teleportation Gu formation had left a deep impression on Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit sank into contemplation: “This matter is too significant, I need to consider it properly.”</p>
<p>“I am only suggesting, the significant matters in the sect still need to be decided by you, first supreme elder. If my suggestion is flawed, I hope you can be lenient.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was deeply aware that pushing too much could be detrimental, he changed the topic to the flowing light fruits he wanted to obtain.</p>
<p>After a while, he left with a large number of flowing light fruits.</p>
<p>Parting with the land spirit, he returned to his own cloud city and immediately started arranging these flowing light fruits.</p>
<p>Flowing light fruits were not ordinary fruits.</p>
<p>They were formed from pure bundles of light, if ordinary people were to try to touch them, they would just pass through their hands. Special methods were needed to collect these fruits.</p>
<p>These fruits did not grow on plants or trees like ordinary fruits either, instead they were a pure materialization of dense aurora lights.</p>
<p>Aurora lights were of many colors, so the same went for flowing light fruits, having all kinds of color like red, brown, yellow, green, black, blue, purple, etc.</p>
<p>Flowing light fruits were the food of attitude Gu.</p>
<p>The reason Fang Yuan exchanged for flowing light fruits was because of this.</p>
<p>Ever since the transactions, the Immortal Gu Fang Yuan possessed had suddenly increased to a terrifying number.</p>
<p>Counting his current collection.</p>
<p>Rank nine Immortal Gu: wisdom Gu.</p>
<p>Rank eight Immortal Gu: attitude Gu, wisdom sword Gu.</p>
<p>Rank seven Immortal Gu: Change Soul, Sword Eyebrows, Wave Sword, Sword Escape, Calamity Beckoning.</p>
<p>Rank six Immortal Gu: Unravel Mystery, Woman’s Heart, Blood Asset, Dark Limit, Dog Shit Luck, Change Form, Strength Qi, Self Strength, Flying Bear Strength, Pulling Mountain, Pulling Water, Landscape as Before, Man as Before, Star Eyes.</p>
<p>Among them, to refine Bo Qing’s sword path Gu worms, Fang Yuan had left Woman’s Heart in Hu Immortal blessed land before the battle of Yi Tian Mountain. He had used the light of wisdom to construct a Gu formation, in which Unravel Mystery and Woman’s Heart were two components. But Unravel Mystery was brought away by Fang Yuan after it had been activated at the start. Woman’s Heart, however, needed to remain in the Gu formation, until Bo Qing’s sword path Immortal Gu were successfully refined, before it could be taken out.</p>
<p>Because of this, after the battle of Yi Tian Mountain, when Fang Yuan used Lang Ya Sect to completely move away the resources in the two blessed lands, Woman’s Heart was also taken by Lang Ya blessed land before finally returning to Fang Yuan’s hands.</p>
<p>Connect luck Gu and iron crown eagle strength Gu, which originally belonged to Fang Yuan, were placed in treasure yellow heaven by Ying Wu Xie, so Fang Yuan was not able to obtain them during the transactions. After finishing the transactions, it was even more impossible for him to get them back.</p>
<p>Among the star path Gu worms, only star eyes Immortal Gu returned to Fang Yuan’s possession, while it was a mystery whether the other Immortal Gu like Star Shoot, Star Mark, Starlight and Star Thought were in Ying Wu Xie’s hands, he did not know if they still existed or not.</p>
<p>In the battle of Yi Tian Mountain, when Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage broke down, many of its Gu worms were destroyed, but there were still some Gu worms remaining which had been left behind in the immortal zombie body’s immortal aperture. Fang Yuan was not too familiar with those Gu worms and he did not even remember their appearances (the loss of memories), and also did know how many of them were withheld by Ying Wu Xie.</p>
<p>It was not that Fang Yuan did not want to take these Gu worms back, but before he could even talk about it, Ying Wu Xie had already concluded the transaction.</p>
<p>Normally speaking, there was a rule for Immortal Gu, quality over quantity.</p>
<p>Forget about mortal Gu, even for a large number of mortal Gu, Gu Immortals could raise them.</p>
<p>Immortal Gu were the key factor in measuring a Gu Immortal’s strength.</p>
<p>Very few Gu Immortals raised as many Immortal Gu as Fang Yuan currently possessed.</p>
<p>Even many rank eight Gu Immortals did not have as many as Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>This was not in the least bit exaggerated.</p>
<p>It was enough for most Gu Immortals to have two or three Immortal Gu. Naturally, these Immortal Gu were suited for their ranks.</p>
<p>One Immortal Gu, when matched with large numbers of different combinations of mortal Gu, could result in different immortal killer moves and produce different effects which covered offense, defense, movement, healing and other aspects.</p>
<p>But just one Immortal Gu was not enough.</p>
<p>Because with just one Immortal Gu, the Gu Immortal could only activate one immortal killer move at one time. If they used a defensive killer move, they would not have offensive methods, or they would lose their movement advantage, and could only be in a passive situation. If they used offense, then they would not have defensive method, which could cause the Gu Immortal’s situation to be very dangerous.</p>
<p>But with two Immortal Gu, both could be simultaneously used to cover all aspects.</p>
<p>Having more than three Immortal Gu would become a burden, generally, they could not be nurtured properly and used.</p>
<p>After all, activating Immortal Gu required immortal essence.</p>
<p>There were few examples where someone used higher rank Immortal Gu like Fang Yuan using rank seven Immortal Gu. It was because he was a special case and his experiences were different from the vast majority of Gu Immortals.</p>
<p>Gu Immortals were very selective in choosing Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>They were selective not in terms of quantity, but they focused on and limited the range of types of Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>A fire path Gu Immortal would perform best with fire path Immortal Gu, using water path or ice path would simply be looking for trouble. Even if they had Immortal Gu of other paths, they could at most be used as supplementary Gu worms for immortal killer moves.</p>
<p>The quality of Immortal Gu was valued, not their number, this was common sense in the cultivation world, almost all Gu Immortals knew of it.</p>
<p>To Fang Yuan, however, this was not applicable.</p>
<p>Because he had the nine-five sovereign immortal aperture.</p>
<p>He had no worries about not having enough space in his immortal aperture. The rate of time was also fast, allowing the resources inside to grow extremely quickly.</p>
<p>These were all part of his potential.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was already aware he had the potential to bear the burden of supporting large numbers of Immortal Gu!</p>
<p>Since he had this potential, he naturally would excavate as much of it as possible.</p>
<p>The second reason was that Fang Yuan was earning a lot daily, his current financial condition was extremely good.</p>
<p>His sovereign immortal aperture produced ninety-six beads of immortal essence every year. This one year was in relation to the time in the immortal aperture. In terms of the time in the outside world, his aperture would produce sixteen beads of immortal essence every day.</p>
<p>This number was already a lot, even those of the ten extreme physiques could not compare to it. When factoring in Fang Yuan’s monthly income, this number was simply a drop in the bucket.</p>
<p>This meant Fang Yuan had the capital to provide for these Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>There was also Lang Ya Sect, which could be relied upon to a certain degree.</p>
<p>These three reasons added up to make Fang Yuan determined in raising large numbers of Immortal Gu to raise his battle strength.</p>
<p>There was no other way, whether it was facing heaven’s will or the calamities and tribulations, Fang Yuan needed to ensure his strength was high.</p>
<p>A Gu Immortal’s battle strength mostly came from their Immortal Gu and immortal killer moves.</p>
<p>Currently, Fang Yuan had few immortal killer moves, and he could not use wisdom Gu either, deducing more would require too much time, so he could only place his efforts in the aspect of Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was naturally aware of Ying Wu Xie’s scheme, it was to increase Fang Yuan’s burden by giving him these Immortal Gu, and letting him have no time and energy to influence Shadow Sect’s movements.</p>
<p>However, Fang Yuan needed large numbers of Immortal Gu to keep up his battle strength.</p>
<p>He also had the potential and the capital to raise these Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>This was completely different from when he was an immortal zombie.</p>
<p>The nine-five sovereign immortal aperture was the most crucial reason!</p>

<h1>Chapter 1083</h1>
<p>Most of Fang Yuan’s attention was on his immortal aperture.</p>
<p>Large numbers of light path mortal Gu flew around before carrying flowing light fruits towards the sky.</p>
<p>Piercing through layers and layers of ‘heavens’, after a long period of flying, these flowing light fruits finally reached the highest layer.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s sovereign immortal aperture was divided into five regions and nine heavens.</p>
<p>After considering it, Fang Yuan stored all the flowing light fruits in the highest layer.</p>
<p>“Although there are quite a few space path dao marks, I cannot imitate land spirits and directly use space path dao marks to teleport. After all, there is a huge difference between a Gu Immortal and land spirit. Land spirits are special existences formed from heavenly power merged with the Gu Immortal’s obsession.”</p>
<p>“The sovereign immortal aperture is extremely vast, it seems I will have to arrange a transportation Gu formation inside to facilitate the ease of transferring resources, and to adjust the structure and the layout of the various resources.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s thought process was quite scattered.</p>
<p>Right now, all the flowing light fruits had entered the highest layer of the aperture.</p>
<p>The Gu worms Fang Yuan had mobilized brought the flowing light fruits to a specific location.</p>
<p>Poof poof poof…</p>
<p>In the next moment, soft explosions went off endlessly.</p>
<p>The flowing light fruits self-detonated one after the other.</p>
<p>Each flowing light fruit was not big, but after self-detonation, they rapidly formed into aurora lights that filled the sky, shining with all kinds of colors, forming a beautiful sight.</p>
<p>The essence of these flowing light fruits was condensed aurora light.</p>
<p>The reason Fang Yuan gathered these flowing light fruits was to feed attitude Gu, but why was he detonating these flowing light fruits?</p>
<p>It was because although the quantity of these flowing light fruits was not small, it was far from enough to fill attitude Gu.</p>
<p>Attitude Gu was a rank eight Immortal Gu, although its duration between feeding times was extremely long, every feeding session required an enormous amount of flowing light fruits.</p>
<p>This was normal when feeding Gu worms.</p>
<p>Normally, the higher the rank of the Gu worms, the more food they required, but the interval between each feeding session would increase greatly as well.</p>
<p>Gu worms altogether had nine ranks, rank eight was only below rank nine, the amount of food attitude Gu required was naturally an enormous number.</p>
<p>So Fang Yuan obtained these flowing light fruits in order to produce more fruits from them.</p>
<p>He detonated eighty percent of these fruits. He let the remaining twenty percent of the fruits float to the sky, nourishing them in the vast aurora lights.</p>
<p>As for the light path mortal Gu which carried the fruits, Fang Yuan retrieved and stored them.</p>
<p>“My sect contribution points were originally not many, but who could have thought that after giving a suggestion, Lang Ya land spirit himself increased my sect contribution points. And I was able to exchange for a satisfying number of these flowing light fruits.”</p>
<p>“Next, I need to bring in large numbers of a mortal Gu, dazzling light Gu, to let these aurora lights grow.”</p>
<p>Dazzling light Gu could erupt with red aurora lights, to maintain their survival, Fang Yuan would need to add in their food here, which was scorching swan stones.</p>
<p>However, neither of these were available in Lang Ya Sect’s treasury, Fang Yuan needed to wait until treasure yellow heaven reopened to put this plan into action.</p>
<p>“Moreover, dazzling light Gu is only the simplest method to produce aurora lights, it is not very effective.”</p>
<p>“There are Gu Immortals in treasure yellow heaven who sells flowing light fruits. I remember that among them are Visitor Can Xia, Qing Hui Zi and Fairy Cai Xia. Maybe I can ask for guidance from them, paying an amount to purchase their insights. But whether this succeeds or not, it will depend on their decision.”</p>
<p>There was still quite a long time before attitude Gu starved.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was planning for the future by doing this.</p>
<p>After all, attitude Gu’s appetite was too huge, making prior preparations wouldn’t be the least harmful.</p>
<p>Right now, Fang Yuan’s situation was still rather leisurely.</p>
<p>Although he had gained a lot of Immortal Gu, it was not the time to feed most of them.</p>
<p>And the first earthly calamity had been passed not long ago, there was still ample time before the second calamity.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan now intended to focus on managing his immortal aperture as his main priority.</p>
<p>“I have already prepared for attitude Gu’s feeding. But attitude Gu is not mine, there is Hei Lou Lan’s will inside it. Right now, I know that Hei Lou Lan has betrayed the agreement and sided with Ying Wu Xie; so some of the information path restrictions on me should have been broken as well.”</p>
<p>“That means I can now refine this attitude Gu to make it my own!”</p>
<p>Attitude Gu was the greatest harvest Fang Yuan made recently.</p>
<p>Even Fang Yuan, when he borrowed Gu from Hei Lou Lan back then, had not thought there would be a day attitude Gu would fall into his hands.</p>
<p>But refining attitude Gu was not a simple matter.</p>
<p>Because attitude Gu was not a wild Immortal Gu, moreover it was rank eight while Fang Yuan was merely a rank six Gu Immortal.</p>
<p>For him to forcibly refine a rank eight Immortal Gu of another person was not only incomparably difficult, it could also destroy attitude Gu if he did not handle it properly.</p>
<p>“But I have a method which can help me refine Immortal Gu of others. That Gu formation which I thought of before, I will just name it wisdom refinement formation for now.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan casually chose a name.</p>
<p>He was not concerned about these minor details, which was why he only named the Gu formation now.</p>
<p>Previously, he had robbed many sword path Immortal Gu from immortal zombie Bo Qing, and to refine them, he used the light of wisdom and star thoughts to deduce the wisdom refinement formation.</p>
<p>The wisdom refinement formation was constructed by using the light of wisdom, with Woman’s Heart and Unravel Mystery as the cores and large numbers of supplementary mortal Gu.</p>
<p>Change Soul, Sword Eyebrows, Flying Sword, Sword Escape, Wave Sword and rank eight Wisdom Sword were all refined by Fang Yuan with the help of the wisdom refinement formation.</p>
<p>But the issue right now was that wisdom Gu did not acknowledge Fang Yuan, which meant he could not use light of wisdom, so how would he arrange the wisdom refinement formation?</p>
<p>To bring about the light of wisdom, Fang Yuan’s soul had to be in his original body, only then could he obtain wisdom Gu’s acknowledgement.</p>
<p>So this issue came down to the previous point, that was Fang Yuan’s immortal zombie body.</p>
<p>The plan of refining attitude Gu and making it completely his was set aside for the moment.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s next plan was to feed wisdom sword Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>This Immortal Gu was like attitude Gu, it was similarly a rank eight Immortal Gu. It was classified under sword path and also under wisdom path.</p>
<p>Wisdom sword cuts the threads of love!</p>
<p>In the past, Sword Immortal Bo Qing used this Immortal Gu to cut the wisdom path dao marks left by love Gu on his body, getting rid of the restrictions and regaining his freedom. He even used this to incite Spirit Affinity House’s Fairy Mo Yao to rebel, using her for his own purposes.</p>
<p>This wisdom sword Immortal Gu could be said to be an amazing method which helped Bo Qing to turn the tides of his situation!</p>
<p>Right now, wisdom sword Immortal Gu was already refined by Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>But it was rather difficult for Fang Yuan to use it currently.</p>
<p>It was already very hard for Fang Yuan to use rank seven Immortal Gu. Using green grape immortal essence to activate wisdom sword Immortal Gu, if compared to a situation on Earth, might be like trying to run an aircraft carrier with two double A batteries.</p>
<p>Wisdom sword Immortal Gu was a genuine rank eight Immortal Gu, and needed rank eight immortal essence to activate.</p>
<p>One could see how outstanding attitude Gu was from this point.</p>
<p>Although it was also a rank eight Immortal Gu, attitude Gu could be activated using mental energy and be freely used by even rank six Gu Immortals. It was worthy of being a legendary Immortal Gu recorded in &lt;&lt;The Legends of Ren Zu&gt;&gt;!</p>
<p>“Wisdom sword Immortal Gu feeds on multicolored overlord flowers.”</p>
<p>“This flower is extremely huge, each mature multicolored overlord flower can cover an enormous surrounding range. For the flower to mature, it requires large amounts of illumination, intense sweet scents as well as pearl soil.”</p>
<p>This difficulty was very high, many times higher than flowing light fruits.</p>
<p>Flowing light fruits were only a rank six immortal material, while multicolored overlord flowers were rank seven.</p>
<p>If Fang Yuan wanted to plant multicolored overlord flowers on a large scale, he needed to fulfill three conditions. Illumination, sweet scents and pearl soil.</p>
<p>First, illumination was quite difficult.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s immortal aperture had about a hundred or so light path dao marks, so it was filled with some light and was not dim like his immortal zombie body’s dead aperture.</p>
<p>But this light was certainly not enough to fulfill the demands of multicolored overlord flowers.</p>
<p>Unless he used the aurora lights of flowing light fruits.</p>
<p>But if he did that, his plans for flowing light fruits would be completely ruined. Light would be used up, it was consumable, especially since those aurora lights did not have any source right now.</p>
<p>The most basic solution was to increase the number of light path dao marks in the immortal aperture.</p>
<p>Light path Gu Immortals with deep foundation and accumulation often had limitless illumination in their immortal aperture.</p>
<p>But for Fang Yuan to achieve this in a short period, apart from having the earthly calamity be a light path calamity, he would have to kill light path Gu Immortal and absorb their dao marks.</p>
<p>The former was up to heaven’s will, it could not be relied upon, while the latter was dangerous and also not reliable. Battles were hazardous and terrifying. Back then, Fang Yuan was able to kill Qi Zai because the latter had underestimated him, chasing him all the way, Fang Yuan had also used the special terrain of the Five Regional Mountain Range and used familiar face before he killed Qi Zai, obtaining the corpse and the soul.</p>
<p>The first condition, illumination, was the most difficult to resolve. There were many ways to obtain the other two, sweet scents and pearl soil. Pearl soil, especially, was sold on a large scale in treasure yellow heaven and was also not expensive.</p>
<p>Of course, Lang Ya blessed land did not have them.</p>
<p>The aforementioned plans were only those for feeding attitude Gu and wisdom sword Gu, and they already took up much of Fang Yuan’s time and energy.</p>
<p>Fortunately, rank nine wisdom Gu’s feeding was already taken care of by Lang Ya land spirit.</p>
<p>Wisdom Gu’s food was lifespan Gu.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan did not even dare to think about it.</p>
<p>Even he would want to take its food.</p>
<p>“The feeding plans for attitude Gu and wisdom sword Gu have already been arranged. Next would be the rank sevens, Change Soul, Sword Eyebrows, Wave Sword, Sword Escape and Calamity Beckoning.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had already fed calamity beckoning Gu with the black blood of the six headed snake.</p>
<p>The six headed snake was a desolate beast with six heads. Fang Yuan had once bought the snake’s corpse in treasure yellow heaven, but now for his long term plan, he intended to move over several six headed snakes into his immortal aperture to breed them.</p>
<p>As for the other rank seven Immortal Gu, their feeding plans required Fang Yuan to carefully arrange them.</p>
<p>Naturally, Fang Yuan did not forget Chu Du still had his rank seven flying sword Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>Its feeding issue was handed over to Chu Du.</p>
<p>In any case, Chu Du coveted Fang Yuan’s tribulation technique, how could he let flying sword Immortal Gu starve?</p>
<p>In this aspect, Chu Du could be considered to be helping out Fang Yuan and decreasing his burden.</p>

<h1>Chapter 1084</h1>
<p>In Lang Ya blessed land, the capital of Black Hair Kingdom.</p>
<p>There was hubbub of voices, a nationwide competition was reaching its end.</p>
<p>On the arena, the final two Gu Masters were in an intense battle, chasing for the final throne of victory.</p>
<p>Almost all the observing hairy men were supporting one side.</p>
<p>Because the other side was Gu Yue Fang Zheng.</p>
<p>He was a human Gu Master, so he naturally would not receive the support of the hairy men.</p>
<p>Even the Black Hair King observing from the raised platform was frowning. He did not want to see the final winner of the first national martial contest to be a human Gu Master. Would this not make his kingdom the laughing stock of the other two kingdoms? It would even seem like the Black Hair Kingdom’s talents were declining to let a human Gu Master easily obtain victory.</p>
<p>If Fang Zheng won, it would no doubt seriously infringe on Black Hair Kingdom’s political interests. So the Black Hair King had already planned beforehand and tampered with this battle.</p>
<p>“It has finally activated.” Black Hair King suddenly felt joyous as his eyes flashed with bright lights.</p>
<p>On the arena, Fang Zheng suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell down to the ground.</p>
<p>“What’s happening?!” Fang Zheng paled in fright and subconsciously pushed his hands.</p>
<p>Rumble… surging waves rose up out of thin air and charged towards his opponent.</p>
<p>Fang Zheng’s opponent was a rank five fire path hairy man Gu Master.</p>
<p>Fang Zheng’s sudden powerful attack gave this hairy man a scare, he immediately jumped to the air to avoid the wave.</p>
<p>Under his hairy feet were two lantern-like flames, which could let him float for some time.</p>
<p>But because of this, he lost the best opportunity to attack Fang Zheng.</p>
<p>Fang Zheng was slowly recovering but still felt extreme dizziness, his condition was quite bad, but he had experienced many setbacks and tempering, so right now, he had already restrained his expression, not showing anything wrong on the outside.</p>
<p>The wave appeared quickly and dissipated just as quickly, the hairy man Gu Master also hurriedly descended.</p>
<p>He was not a flying master, standing in the air would make him a good target.</p>
<p>Just now, he was forced to dodge the water wave with no alternative option. Right now, he was immediately making up for it.</p>
<p>The two sides confronted again.</p>
<p>“Fang Zheng, you have been schemed against by someone. I do not know when, but someone secretly planted a Gu worm in your soul.” Fang Yuan’s will revealed the truth to Fang Zheng.</p>
<p>“How could it be?” Fang Zheng was shocked and furious.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s will sighed: “This soul path Gu worm has a faint connection with that Black Hair King sitting on the platform. It seems he is the one who schemed against you.”</p>
<p>“Damn it! Damn it!” Fang Zheng clenched his fists, finally showing a furious and hatred filled expression.</p>
<p>“What happened?” Fang Zheng’s opponent was observing his expression and suddenly seeing his expression change, he thought Fang Zheng was preparing a powerful move and was immediately on complete guard.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s will sneered: “Now do you believe me? I already told you Black Hair Kingdom’s higher ups won’t let you win so easily. This martial contest has all along been a tool for those in power, although they advocate fairness on the surface, those that truly expect it to be fair are fools.”</p>
<p>“You are right!” Fang Zheng gritted his teeth, his eyes opened wide as if fire would burst out, “But I want victory even more now!”</p>
<p>“Heh, this enthusiasm… you are still so young, my foolish brother.” Fang Yuan’s will was very aware of Fang Zheng unwillingness to give in, thinking of this secretly.</p>
<p>Actually, the best response would be to intentionally lose to the opponent and end at second.</p>
<p>With that, Fang Zheng would not have to overwork himself and Black Hair Kingdom’s higher ups would also be happy to accept the result. Such an outcome would not only show Black Hair Kingdom’s talents to be outstanding, it would also show the King’s generosity of promoting talents no matter their origins, even accepting a human Gu Master.</p>
<p>However, Fang Zheng wanted to get the first position, not only was it making it hard for himself, he was also turning other hairy men hostile to him.</p>
<p>First or second, what’s the difference?</p>
<p>Just momentary victory or defeat, it would not be a turning point of one’s life, was it really so important?</p>
<p>But Fang Yuan’s will was happy to see this.</p>
<p>Fang Zheng was deeply prejudiced against him, only by using constant pressure from external force could Fang Zheng work together with him and be subtly influenced.</p>
<p>And the current choice made by Fang Zheng would result in an enormous obstruction, which was greatly beneficial for Fang Yuan’s training plan.</p>
<p>So, Fang Yuan’s will decided to do all he could to bring about Fang Zheng’s wish.</p>
<p>He spoke: “I am only a will, you can only think about how to get rid of this soul path Gu worm after the battle. Right now, your soul is injured and so you cannot use River Swallowing Toad anymore. After all, commanding River Swallowing Toad to battle uses up an enormous amount of your mental energy. Although you have lost this trump card, you still have hope to win. Just listen to my instructions now!”</p>
<p>Fang Zheng let out a muffled snort, although he did not feel good about it, with the current situation as it was, he could only give tacit consent to the words of Fang Yuan’s will.</p>
<p>Fang Zheng himself might not be aware of it.</p>
<p>But after these days of interaction, he had indeed begun to change.</p>
<p>Just as Fang Yuan went out of Luo Po Valley, his will returned to him.</p>
<p>After careful inspection, finding no issues with it, Fang Yuan let this will enter his mind.</p>
<p>In his mind, countless thoughts surged like tidal waves and surrounded this will, closely interacting with each other.</p>
<p>In just an instant, Fang Yuan learned of Fang Zheng’s recent developments.</p>
<p>“Oh? Under my will’s instructions, he defeated his opponent and obtained first?”</p>
<p>“Doing pretty well, I see.”</p>
<p>“But with this, he has caused the entire Black Hair Kingdom to lose face. Haha, interesting. Winning the competition, but losing even more, your coming days will not be so comfortable, my little brother.”</p>
<p>“But this is very helpful to my reeducation plan, isn’t it?”</p>
<p>“Moreover, I still have an arrangement left in Steel Thread City which is currently being prepared.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan condensed another will of his, its size was several times larger than the returned will.</p>
<p>Reeducating Fang Zheng would need the will to think, which would cause it to be consumed continuously and require replenishment from Fang Yuan frequently.</p>
<p>Right away, Fang Yuan pointed forward with a finger, several rank five Gu worms flew out and guarded this enormous will as they flew down to Black Hair Continent.</p>
<p>When they arrived just above Black Hair Continent, this will further divided into two parts.</p>
<p>One part flew towards Black Hair Kingdom’s capital, while the other portion flew to Steel Thread City.</p>
<p>Steel Thread City’s City Lord was that female hairy man who favored Fang Zheng. Fang Yuan’s will quietly seeped into her mind.</p>
<p>It was easy for a Gu Immortal to plot against a Gu Master.</p>
<p>The female city lord was currently processing some documents, strictly managing the affairs of the city. She did not have even the slightest awareness of Fang Yuan’s will, and also did not sense her lower abdomen had slightly swollen.</p>
<p>“My hidden card has been placed.” In the sky, in Cloud Cover Continent, Fang Yuan chuckled as he withdrew his gaze.</p>
<p>This feeling of controlling the fate of mortals was indeed quite the symbol of being an immortal.</p>
<p>The fundamental cause of it was that the strength of Gu Immortals far surpassed mortals.</p>
<p>“Changing Fang Zheng’s perspective has already shown slight success, moreover it is progressing smoothly. But I have yet to deduce blood deity Immortal Gu’s recipe.”</p>
<p>“The problem is still wisdom Gu.”</p>
<p>Right now, some days had already gone by since Fang Yuan stored flowing light fruits in his immortal aperture.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was increasingly feeling the disadvantage of not being able to use the light of wisdom.</p>
<p>However, the issue in his immortal zombie body was still in the process of being resolved.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan pondered, his soul path attainment was far inferior to Shadow Sect’s, but he still thought of a way — he could increase his soul foundation!</p>
<p>This was coping with the changes by sticking to the fundamental principle.</p>
<p>If he cultivated his soul to the terrifying level of Spectral Soul, any soul path traps in his body would be of no use.</p>
<p>Naturally, for Fang Yuan to cultivate to Spectral Soul’s level was extremely far-off into the future. But Fang Yuan’s immortal zombie body had only gone through Ying Wu Xie’s hands, who was only a split soul that was far inferior to the main body.</p>
<p>Thus, for the last few days, Fang Yuan was not only managing his immortal aperture and guiding hairy man Gu Immortals, earning large numbers of sect contribution points, he also made time to enter Luo Po Valley every day to temper his soul, afterwards, he would use guts Gu to heal and strengthen the soul.</p>
<p>Dang Hun Mountain and Luo Po Valley were indeed the two sacred lands of soul cultivation proclaimed by Spectral Soul Demon Venerable.</p>
<p>Not even ten days had passed and Fang Yuan’s soul foundation had already become quite deep.</p>
<p>However, Fang Yuan was still not confident at the moment to test out the trap that might be in his immortal zombie body.</p>
<p>Another day went by, Fang Yuan came out of Luo Po Valley, and saw an information path Gu worm flying towards him.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan read it briefly, Lang Ya land spirit had called for him to discuss important matters.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was immediately joyous, thinking to himself that it was finally here. Actually, he had also been secretly waiting for Lang Ya land spirit’s response.</p>
<p>He immediately set out and not long later, he arrived at the first cloud city with the appearance of a hairy man.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit greeted: “You’ve arrived, come sit over here.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan had just sat down when Lang Ya land spirit spoke again: “I considered your suggestion for some days, and I feel it is quite reasonable. But choosing Earth Trench is not very appropriate. You might not be aware, but currently Earth Trench is in a mess, much more activity there than in the past. Many Northern Plains Gu Immortals of righteous path, demonic path or even lone cultivators are hanging out there.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan revealed a slightly surprised expression, and deliberately asked while knowing the reason clearly: “What is the reason?”</p>
<p>“Because of the battle on Yi Tian Mountain, each region’s Zombie Alliance has now become an empty shell. Northern Plains Zombie Alliance also disappeared without a trace, inciting many doubts and probes. Zombie Alliance’s members seem to have almost all died, the probing Gu Immortals became more audacious seeing no response. Not only have they already encroached upon Northern Plains Zombie Alliance’s cultivation resources, they have also invaded Earth Trench. That is where the final territory of Zombie Alliance is. According to the rumors, a righteous path wisdom path Gu Immortal deduced that Northern Plains Zombie Alliance’s headquarters, Dark Flow Giant City, had sunken into Earth Trench and disappeared.” Lang Ya land spirit replied.</p>
<p>“So it was like that.” Fang Yuan showed a look of realization, “Since that is the case, Earth Trench is now a dangerous territory, it seems my previous suggestion cannot be implemented.”</p>
<p>While saying this, Fang Yuan inwardly thought: “It seems that although Shadow Sect intentionally sacrificed Zombie Alliance, they had also left behind some defensive measures. Like Dark Flow Giant City sinking into Earth Trench. With Shadow Sect’s methods, since they could make Dark Flow Giant City sink into Earth Trench, it is probably hidden very well. It will be very difficult for the Northern Plains Gu Immortals to find it, their efforts might even be in vain.”</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit continued: “Earth Trench’s situation is too complicated, we cannot meddle in it. But your suggestion is still good, I have decided to adopt it. At present, the location I have decided upon is also one of the ten great fierce areas, this one.”</p>
<p>Saying this, Lang Ya land spirit pointed at a part on the map.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s sight followed Lang Ya land spirit’s hairy finger to the bottom right part of Northern Plains.</p>
<p>To the southeast of a super force, Guan tribe, and north-west of another, Liu tribe.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s expression had no change, as he inwardly rejoiced: “This is it.”</p>

<h1>Chapter 1085</h1>
<p>The location pointed out by Lang Ya land spirit was Tai Qiu!</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s true target was also Tai Qiu.</p>
<p>But it was not good for him to say it immediately, he could only beat about the bush, leading Lang Ya land spirit to ‘comprehend’ the answer himself.</p>
<p>Tai Qiu was one of the ten great fierce areas of Northern Plains.</p>
<p>A type of giant grass grew here. This grass was extremely large and sturdy, one stalk of grass could compare to a normal tree of a hundred years in age.</p>
<p>This giant grass grew everywhere in Tai Qiu.</p>
<p>The huge swathes of grass formed into a large primitive jungle.</p>
<p>Inside the jungle lived large numbers of desolate beasts and ancient desolate beasts, and one could even see vague indications of immemorial desolate beasts.</p>
<p>So even Gu Immortals did not dare to intrude. Even those rank eight Gu Immortals had to be careful, a slight slip-up and the disturbance could create a beast tide here.</p>
<p>Dong Fang Chang Fan had set up his inheritance here for his possession revival plan. Later, Fang Yuan and the rest had also fought an intense battle at Tai Qiu.</p>
<p>“This place… you should be familiar, right?” Lang Ya land spirit smiled at Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan said: “It is indeed somewhat familiar because of Dong Fang Chang Fan’s matter.” Saying this, he glanced at Lang Ya land spirit, the latter clearly knew of this history.</p>
<p>“I intend to set up a teleportation Gu formation here at Tai Qiu. What do you think?” Lang Ya land spirit asked.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan spoke with hesitation: “To speak the truth, I don’t suggest setting up a Gu formation in Tai Qiu. It is because I am slightly familiar with it that I feel we cannot do it. This is a hornet’s nest, just a slight commotion can lead to a beast tide. And this beast tide won’t be a simple mortal beast tide, it will comprise desolate beasts and even ancient desolate beast. There is even a possibility of attracting immemorial desolate beasts.”</p>
<p>“I had fought here before. But that was because Dong Fang Chang Fan had set a battle stage using an immemorial ruin bat’s corpse. The immemorial desolate beast’s aura deterred other desolate beasts and ancient desolate beasts. It was because of this that there was no beast tide. But when the tribulations struck and the immemorial desolate beast’s aura was eliminated, that immemorial ruin bat’s corpse was immediately split up and devoured by countless desolate beasts and ancient desolate beasts. We can see how terrifying Tai Qiu is from this.”</p>
<p>“If we were to set up a teleportation Gu formation in Tai Qiu, and set it around the periphery, we might be able to travel back and forth, but our sect’s Gu Immortals will also be easily sensed by other forces. While if we set the teleportation Gu formation inside the inner regions of Tai Qiu, once a battle goes awry, the Gu Immortals would not be able to escape. Even if we choose an optimal location that considers these, once the battle’s scale enlarges slightly, it will lead to a beast tide which could then be sensed by humans.”</p>
<p>“It is because of these reasons that super forces don’t want to touch Tai Qiu. Our sect needs to worry about much more than them. This area is not a good choice.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan analyzed the pros and cons of the plan, speaking with a loyal expression as if he wanted to convince Lang Ya land spirit.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit laughed heartily.</p>
<p>While laughing, he patted Fang Yuan’s shoulder.</p>
<p>He laughed for a good while before speaking: “Fang Yuan, you are right. But you can be assured, tell me, what is this?”</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit looked like he was offering a treasure as he handed an information path Gu worm to Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>After Fang Yuan inspected it, he pretended to have a shocked and joyous expression, stammering: “Thi… thi… this! This is actually such a detailed map of Tai Qiu. This is truly a godsend at the most crucial moment, ah, no, our sect’s foundation is actually that deep. If I had not seen this personally, I might not have believed it!”</p>
<p>“Hehehe, good kid, has your vision expanded?” Lang Ya land spirit laughed brightly, as he jumped and waved his hands.</p>
<p>“Amazing, amazing!” Fang Yuan gave a thumbs up, expressing in a sincere way.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit excitedly explained: “In the past, to acquire immortal materials from Tai Qiu, my main body made repeated trips there, and after combining his experiences with others’ deductions, he got this Tai Qiu map!”</p>
<p>“So it was like that.” Fang Yuan looked like he was enlightened.</p>
<p>In truth, he was already aware of it.</p>
<p>This intel was a small part of what he obtained from the transactions with Shadow Sect.</p>
<p>This Tai Qiu map allowed Fang Yuan to plan and intentionally mention Earth Trench, while he was in fact luring Lang Ya land spirit’s attention to this place.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit pointed at the information path Gu worm in Fang Yuan’s hand: “This map not only records all the topography of Tai Qiu, it also records the distribution of the various beast groups. But there is a huge flaw, this map was created a long time ago, there will definitely be many changes in Tai Qiu after all these years.”</p>
<p>“First supreme elder is right, I also have this worry.” Fang Yuan quickly confirmed.</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit continued: “Aren’t you familiar with this place? You are also a human Gu Immortal with change form Immortal Gu to boot, I intend to send you there with this map…”</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit had yet to finish speaking when Fang Yuan stood up straight and spoke without hesitation: “First supreme elder only needs to give me the command, being able to work for the sect and in such an important matter at that, this is my honor!”</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit laughed heartily, patting Fang Yuan’s shoulder, indicating him to be seated: “Fang Yuan, you are good, I didn’t misjudge you. Rest assured, the sect absolutely won’t treat you unfairly. On your trip, act according to the circumstances. The main matter is to inspect Tai Qiu’s terrain and improve this Tai Qiu map. If you get the opportunity, you should set up the basic form of the teleportation Gu formation at a suitable location.”</p>
<p>“There are three locations on the map. These three locations mark the areas of the corpses of immemorial desolate beasts. Prioritize in inspecting these three locations, if you can set up a teleportation Gu formation in one of them, that would be great.”</p>
<p>“Naturally, you need to take care of yourself and move about secretly. Even if you are discovered by humans, never disclose the existence of our sect.”</p>
<p>Lang Ya land spirit repeatedly reminded.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan quickly nodded, even patting his chest in assurance: “First supreme elder, you can rest at ease. I will make some preparations and set off immediately!”</p>
<p>“Good, good.” Lang Ya land spirit laughed loudly, extremely pleased with Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Actually, there was not much to prepare, Lang Ya blessed land’s foundation was deep, Fang Yuan was rather at ease placing Luo Po Valley, Dang Hun Mountain and wisdom Gu here.</p>
<p>Even if there was the spy from Shadow Sect, it would not hamper this situation. The disturbance Sixth Hair could create was small, adding on that Shadow Sect was already barely able to take care of itself, it would not dare to invade Lang Ya blessed land.</p>
<p>As for Heavenly Court, even if they discovered Lang Ya blessed land, what would they do?</p>
<p>During the five regions chaotic war, Heavenly Court attacked Lang Ya blessed land and a few times at that. In the end, Feng Jiu Ge was killed off before they were able to conquer Lang Ya blessed land. Even more importantly, at present, the regional walls still existed in the five regions.</p>
<p>Inspecting his Immortal Gu once again, Fang Yuan decided to carry almost all of these Immortal Gu with him. As for his immortal zombie body, he also brought it with him. His sovereign immortal aperture had enough space to carry them all.</p>
<p>Speaking of which, his immortal zombie body was quite a problem, and the Spring Autumn Cicada inside was even more of a problem.</p>
<p>Spring Autumn Cicada was currently sealed by some unknown methods, it was unable to absorb the water of the River of Time and could only bear its hunger passively, gradually falling towards the abyss of destruction.</p>
<p>Not only this, Spring Autumn Cicada still had heaven’s will in it.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan already knew about this from the transaction.</p>
<p>He also knew of much precious information regarding heaven’s will.</p>
<p>These were huge gains!</p>
<p>“I have the sovereign immortal aperture, which is a small world independent of the outside world. But right now, I am carrying Spring Autumn Cicada and large numbers of snow monsters filled with heaven’s will, there will definitely be obstructions when I go to Tai Qiu. Just like when I was hurrying back from Southern Border, I met the cloud beasts, was pursued by Qi Zai and so on.”</p>
<p>Fang Yuan understood this clearly.</p>
<p>He was no longer ignorant regarding heaven’s will, instead, he knew a lot.</p>
<p>Heaven’s will was not omnipotent, heaven’s will had its own restrictions.</p>
<p>After understanding heaven’s will, the threat of heaven’s will decreased immensely.</p>
<p>After all, an unknown enemy was the most troublesome. Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated!</p>
<p>The first earthly calamity’s might had sharply increased, Fang Yuan knew that was heaven’s will trying to eradicate him. But he underwent tribulation in the northern icy plain which unknowingly had helped him a lot.</p>
<p>The reason was, a large portion of the earthly calamity had been influenced by Reckless Savage’s true meaning, taking over the role of heaven’s will, forming into iron crown eagles, ruin bats and so on.</p>
<p>Only the snow monsters were formed from heaven’s will.</p>
<p>Their bodies held purely heaven’s will, they would not rest until they eradicated Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>The influence of Reckless Savage’s true meaning had weakened the dangers of the snow monsters by a large degree.</p>
<p>Currently, these snow monsters were still in Fang Yuan’s immortal aperture. Each of them held heaven’s will, like Spring Autumn Cicada. When Fang Yuan went outside, he would be as clear as a torch in the darkness to heaven’s will’s perception.</p>
<p>“Heaven’s will cannot make a move by itself, unless it is during calamities or tribulations. When I go out now, heaven’s will would definitely influence others to kill me. I will deal with whatever it sends when the time comes!”</p>
<p>Bright light flashed, in the central region of dragon elephant plain, a young-looking Gu Immortal appeared out of thin air.</p>
<p>He wore snow white clothes, his face looked mild like jade, his dark hair reached down to his waist, and he had a pair of dark eyes which seemed to have unfathomable depths.</p>
<p>He was Gu Yue Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>“I am out!” Fang Yuan took a deep breath, and immediately activated defensive Gu worms and investigative Gu worms.</p>
<p>Many types of investigative methods were activated together.</p>
<p>His gaze scanned all directions, and his perception covered everything within ten thousand steps.</p>
<p>It was temporarily safe.</p>
<p>Every since Lang Ya blessed land migrated from crescent lake, its exact location was only known by Lang Ya land spirit.</p>
<p>This was among the greatest secrets of Lang Ya blessed land, the land spirit would not tell anyone.</p>
<p>But he had also arranged several teleportation Gu formations outside, facilitating transportation between the inside and the outside world.</p>
<p>This response was much wiser than the previous Lang Ya land spirit.</p>
<p>One of Lang Ya blessed land’s teleportation Gu formations was set up at Feng Bo Cliff. Now, Fang Yuan learned of the location of a second teleportation Gu formation, it was this place, Northern Plains’ dragon elephant plain.</p>
<p>“I need to get a move on, it is not safe to stay for long at this place.”</p>
<p>At Fang Yuan’s will, Gu worms started to fly inside his immortal aperture.</p>
<p>His figure shot upwards like an arrow.</p>
<p>His field of vision immediately expanded, and as he looked below him, dragon elephant plain’s terrain entered his vision.</p>
<p>Dragon elephant plain had a flat terrain and an extraordinary majesty to it. There was plenty of water and lush vegetation, dragon elephant groups were scattered everywhere.</p>
<p>This was a famous habitat of dragon elephants in Northern Plains, and was under the control of a nearby super force.</p>
<p>“Grand rivers and hills, such a beautiful sight.” Fang Yuan praised before hiding his figure and flying away.</p>

<h1>Chapter 1086</h1>
<p>A few minutes later, Fang Yuan had already left dragon elephant plain.</p>
<p>He saw a huge field of clouds in front of him.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan subconsciously slowed down.</p>
<p>He was very cautious of white clouds now, ever since he encountered those pesky cloud beasts in Southern Border.</p>
<p>Learning from experience, Fang Yuan became very wary of large areas of clouds.</p>
<p>After inspecting them, Fang Yuan relaxed, the clouds had no problems.</p>
<p>He flew into them.</p>
<p>His vision was covered by the thick white clouds.</p>
<p>But it was alright, Fang Yuan had investigative methods to use.</p>
<p>Be it hearing or sound waves, or even using his consciousness, he could fly freely inside the clouds without feeling like a lost insect.</p>
<p>Gu Immortals had access to most mortal methods, they could deal with many situations.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s speed fell, he stopped all movement.</p>
<p>Next, thoughts flickered in his mind as he activated countless Gu worms in his immortal aperture.</p>
<p>Large numbers of mortal Gu moved like a storm, creating a huge, bloody tornado in the sovereign immortal aperture.</p>
<p>The core Immortal Gu flew up next.</p>
<p>Rank six blood asset Immortal Gu!</p>
<p>It descended like a ruler with imposing aura, the rest of the mortal Gu were assistants, creating the immortal killer move that Fang Yuan was activating — Blood Torrent.</p>
<p>Blood-red light rushed out of Fang Yuan’s body, before turning into liquid, forming a river of bloody water.</p>
<p>The blood carried Fang Yuan and tore through the clouds, moving forward rapidly.</p>
<p>The speed was so fast, completely at a different level to before!</p>
<p>Earlier, when Fang Yuan left dragon elephant plain, that place was within a righteous path super force’s territory, he did not use an immortal killer move.</p>
<p>Because most immortal killer moves would leak strong aura from them, attention would be drawn to him.</p>
<p>Thus, Fang Yuan only used mortal killer moves when leaving dragon elephant plain.</p>
<p>But now, after leaving it, he could finally use an immortal killer move.</p>
<p>His speed rose sharply, he moved ahead rapidly.</p>
<p>A long bloody trail was drawn out, but it was concealed by the thick clouds, it could not be seen from the outside.</p>
<p>This was the advantage of flying in the clouds.</p>
<p>If not for the cloud cover, Fang Yuan could only conceal his tracks. Openly flying like this was too attention grabbing.</p>
<p>In a short moment, this huge area of clouds was pierced through by Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>He had already traveled past an enormous distance.</p>
<p>Outside of the cloud layer, Fang Yuan stopped using blood torrent.</p>
<p>During this time period, blood path demonic immortals could not display themselves, they had to be concealed. Blood path was a target of attack from all over, Fang Yuan did not want to attract trouble due to blood path.</p>
<p>Especially when heaven’s will was locked onto him!</p>
<p>“Unless I can modify blood torrent and prevent others from sensing its blood path nature.” Fang Yuan had a thought.</p>
<p>Actually, he had already modified blood torrent again.</p>
<p>While cultivating in Lang Ya blessed land, Fang Yuan had been practicing his blood path killer moves and strength path killer moves.</p>
<p>One day, Fang Yuan had an inspiration when practicing, he modified blood torrent.</p>
<p>Originally, when using blood torrent, hundreds of mortal Gu would appear around Fang Yuan, flying around in a big circle.</p>
<p>After modification, these mortal Gu flew in a spiral in his immortal aperture.</p>
<p>This was a small change, but it fixed one of its major flaws.</p>
<p>Flying around the Gu Immortal meant it could be easily attacked and destroyed, but being in the immortal aperture was safe.</p>
<p>Just this alone showed great improvement.</p>
<p>But blood torrent was still very eye-catching, when flying in the sky, it created a long river of blood, anyone would notice it. It would even emit a strong and foul bloody smell that would make one puke.</p>
<p>If these flaws were not fixed, blood torrent could not be widely used.</p>
<p>If the light of wisdom could be used, these modifications could be done overnight. But Fang Yuan was unsure of the safety of the immortal zombie body at this time.</p>
<p>It was fine with clouds covering it, but without clouds, Fang Yuan would not use blood torrent.</p>
<p>He activated sword escape Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>Rank seven sword escape Immortal Gu!</p>
<p>Fang Yuan flew forward like a sword.</p>
<p>Compared to blood torrent, he was even faster now!</p>
<p>Just sword escape Immortal Gu alone surpassed a rank six blood path killer move.</p>
<p>Even though with his cultivation level, using sword escape Immortal Gu with green grape immortal essence was not worth it, Fang Yuan was very firm on doing this.</p>
<p>The biggest factor of this trip was — Speed! Speed! Speed!</p>
<p>He had to move quickly.</p>
<p>It was because of heaven’s will.</p>
<p>“Heaven’s will follows the way of heaven, taking away surpluses while replenishing deficits, it treats me as an eyesore. But the way of heaven has its own rules and regulations, heaven’s will has to follow certain rules and is limited to an extent.”</p>
<p>“Heaven’s will cannot act casually, it can only attack me directly during calamities and tribulations. Normally, heaven’s will can only engineer situations and circumstances to kill me.”</p>
<p>How can heaven’s will create such situations?</p>
<p>By affecting the living beings of this world.</p>
<p>Like in the past, when Fang Yuan was in Imperial Court blessed land, he was affected by Mo Yao’s fake will, heaven’s will was vast and omnipresent, it could affect other life forms.</p>
<p>This influence was on the subconscious level, it was very situational.</p>
<p>In most situations, decisions were made in an instant.</p>
<p>Heaven’s will could influence countless life forms, and countless decisions that they make, through many subtle influences, these life forms could gather together into a force that would be fatal.</p>
<p>But this way, to influence others and set up fatal traps, time was needed.</p>
<p>Therefore, Fang Yuan emphasized on speed.</p>
<p>The faster he was, the less time heaven’s will had to influence other life forms and create situations to deal with him.</p>
<p>During the journey from Southern Border to Northern Plains, Fang Yuan did not know this, he also lacked movement methods, especially at the start, it gave heaven’s will a lot of time to set things up.</p>
<p>Now that Fang Yuan knew heaven’s will’s weaknesses, he naturally made use of them.</p>
<p>This was an effective method that Shadow Sect used against heaven’s will.</p>
<p>Shadow Sect followed a key principle: Accumulating in secret, striking at once like a volcano, moving as fast as lightning, achieving one’s goal!</p>
<p>Fang Yuan learned fully from this.</p>
<p>“To deal with heaven’s will, Shadow Sect and Spectral Soul are the best role model. They are my enemies, but these enemies have aspects in which they are superior to me, I naturally must abandon bias and learn from them!”</p>
<p>“And I have a huge advantage compared to Shadow Sect, I am a complete otherworldly demon!”</p>
<p>“Shadow Sect members have to think about themselves when acting and use self will to cleanse themselves from heaven’s will’s hidden influence.”</p>
<p>“But I do not need to, as a complete otherworldly demon, heaven’s will cannot influence me!”</p>
<p>To guard against heaven’s will, Fang Yuan used Sword Escape, disregarding the intense immortal essence consumption!</p>
<p>Thankfully, Fang Yuan had preserved most of his accumulated cultivation resources.</p>
<p>He was raking in money daily, it could be said he was very affluent.</p>
<p>Even though he needed to build and manage his own immortal aperture, most of his plans had not started yet. Treasure yellow heaven was closed now, the things he could get from Lang Ya Sect’s inventory were limited.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan tore through the sky, bursting with a sharp sound along the way, he seemed to have turned into a flying sword!</p>
<p>Roaming the desolate plains with peerless sharpness.</p>
<p>Suddenly, there was a growl filled with pain and fear.</p>
<p>An ancient desolate beast was escaping for its life, a wild rank seven Immortal Gu was chasing it.</p>
<p>The two entered Fang Yuan’s vision.</p>
<p>In front was a horned six-winged pegasus, while the wild Immortal Gu behind was a Dragon Centipede.</p>
<p>A four winged pegasus was a beast emperor, while a six-winged pegasus was a desolate beast, one with a horn on its forehead and six wings on its back was an ancient desolate beasts.</p>
<p>And this Dragon Centipede was seven li long! It has a centipede body and a dragon head, there were countless legs split across the two sides of its body, moving continuously. It had a hard bronze shell, under the light of the sun, shining and dazzling golden color could be seen. It was very bold and grand looking!</p>
<p>Some wild Immortal Gu lived in desolate beasts and desolate plants, absorbing their nutrients, living in co-existence while treating them as food.</p>
<p>But this was only the majority of cases.</p>
<p>The Dragon Centipede was a fierce and savage wild Immortal Gu, it directly captured desolate beasts and desolate plants, treating them as prey, surviving through hunting.</p>
<p>This was the only dragon centipede Immortal Gu in the world, it was rank seven, it was capturing ancient desolate beasts and desolate plants to fill its stomach.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan was flying straight ahead, this pair appeared right in front of him, blocking his path.</p>
<p>“Something happened after all!” Fang Yuan snickered internally.</p>
<p>Last time was a cloud beast group, this time, it was a horned six-winged pegasus and the wild dragon centipede Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>Wild Immortal Gu had low intelligence, even though they had their own will, they were easily influenced by heaven’s will.</p>
<p>The horned six-winged pegasus was an ancient desolate beast, beasts like horses mostly had higher intelligence. It was harder for heaven’s will to influence them.</p>
<p>But now, it was escaping and moving without thinking, heaven’s will only needed to influence it slightly to change the direction that the horned six-winged pegasus was escaping.</p>
<p>These two were here to block Fang Yuan’s path!</p>
<p>The pegasus was escaping for its life, it would try its best to crush all obstacles ahead.</p>
<p>And the Dragon Centipede’s gaze was also on Fang Yuan.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s Gu Immortal aura was apparent.</p>
<p>He was a rank six Gu Immortal.</p>
<p>His aura was much weaker than the horned six-winged pegasus. But his sword path aura was also strong, coming from the rank seven sword escape Immortal Gu.</p>
<p>This attracted the Dragon Centipede more.</p>
<p>Because the Dragon Centipede was full of sword path dao marks as well!</p>
<p>Its countless limbs contained sword path dao marks, allowing it to carry tens of thousands of swords with it. Once it coiled around its prey, these sharp swords would attack from all directions, creating bloody holes in the ancient desolate beast, it was very fierce.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s reaction was at lightning speed.</p>
<p>He instantly stored sword escape Immortal Gu, the aura vanished instantly.</p>
<p>The Dragon Centipede was confused, but its focus was still on him. After all, in its long life of hunting, it had encountered many prey which could conceal its aura.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan’s body shook, as countless figures appeared.</p>
<p>Convergence of enslavement and strength path, immortal killer move — Myriad Self!</p>
<p>In the earlier transactions, Fang Yuan had obtained many strength path Immortal Gu, his strongest method from back then had returned!</p>
<p>Even though he did not have cleanse soul Immortal Gu, Fang Yuan used other mortal Gu to replace it. Myriad self’s power fell, but at this moment, it was very useful in confusing his enemies.</p>
<p>Countless Fang Yuans flew around the place, like a school of fish swimming in the sea, scattering around after encountering a huge whale.</p>
<p>The Dragon Centipede was even more confused now, its speed fell for a moment.</p>
<p>Next, its seven li long body attacked like a whip.</p>
<p>Boom boom boom.</p>
<p>Countless strength path phantoms of Fang Yuan were destroyed.</p>
<p>The horned six-winged pegasus also crushed many of Fang Yuan’s phantoms as it rapidly escaped.</p>
<p>The Dragon Centipede saw that the pegasus was escaping, its attention was focused on it once more.</p>
<p>The two escaped and chased, quickly getting out of Fang Yuan’s vision.</p>
<p>Fang Yuan lightly let out a breath of air.</p>
<p>His true body descended.</p>
<p>With a thought, countless Fang Yuan phantoms dissipated at once.</p>
<p>Move!</p>
<p>Fang Yuan activated Sword Escape again, flying into the sky, leaving.</p>
