Fairy Li Shan continued with a deeply moved tone: "Reportedly, the rumor of Reckless Savage Demon Venerable's true meaning came from the currently rank seven Domination Immortal Chu Du of northern plains. It is said that when he became a strength path Gu Immortal three hundred years ago, it was at this icy plain that he passed his tribulation. It is just that there have been limited numbers of Gu Immortals advancing over these recent years. And among these newly advanced Gu Immortals, there are few that are of transformation path and even fewer of strength path. Thus, this piece of speculation was very hard to prove."
Tai Bai Yun Sheng snorted but no longer hurried towards Fang Yuan.
Although Fairy Li Shan and Hei Lou Lan deceived him and Fang Yuan, this was after all such an enormous benefit, thus Tai Bai Yun Sheng's anger dissipated for the most part.
He turned around and looked deeply at Hei Lou Lan. Hei Lou Lan was covered in the three qi cocoon and she was progressing smoothly. The qi cocoon's volume was slowly shrinking methodically.
'This woman has truly great ambitions, she is not satisfied with being a ten extreme physique immortal, she also wants to learn from Reckless Savage Demon Venerable. She is not afraid that her strength is lacking and she would die because of her greed. Speaking of which, this style of taking risks is actually similar to Fang Yuan's, they are both lunatics!' Tai Bai Yun Sheng heaved a sigh inwardly.
"So it was indeed like this, they are the external forms of true meaning, ahahhaah!" Fang Yuan laughed loudly and slowly stood up from his kneeling position with his expression revealing his high spirits.
He then gazed at the ancient pegasus group again, but the way he looked at them was different this time.
His gaze was extremely heated, like a pervert that had his lust held back for several thousands of years, who then saw an absolutely beautiful woman. Or like a bandit whose greed would never be satisfied, seeing the world's greatest treasury!
"I have advanced to a strength path Gu Immortal but my strength path foundation was shallow and I could only reach quasi-grandmaster realm in strength path! It is extremely difficult to make one's realm progress even a little, and needs a sufficient quantity of regular accumulation in order to initiate a qualitative transformation. But now, as long as I kill these true meaning external forms, I can rapidly raise my strength path realm, elevating it to genuine grandmaster realm!"
Memories and experiences of five hundred years of bitter struggles made Fang Yuan extremely aware of the difficulty in progressing one's realm.
Realm represented the understanding of Great Dao! One's strength path realm was a Gu Master's understanding of the Dao of strength. Realm was generally divided into ordinary, quasi-master, master, quasi-grandmaster, grandmaster, quasi-great grandmaster, great grandmaster, quasi-supreme grandmaster and supreme grandmaster.
Most Gu Masters would only have ordinary realm in their whole lives. Quasi-masters were geniuses or old, experienced Gu Masters.
Masters were extremely rare! For instance, in the Imperial Court contest which was an assembly of heroes of the large northern plains, only Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng had master level attainment in flying among those who reached Imperial Court blessed land. While in enslavement path, there were only Jiang Bao Ya, Yang Po Ying, Ma Zun, Chang Shan Yin (Fang Yuan) and Nu Er Tu, five masters over the entire contest!
And speaking of refinement path supreme grandmasters, even throughout human history, there had only been three: Long Hair Ancestor, Old Eccentric Tian Nan and Old Immortal Kong Jue!
Every advancement of a realm meant an astonishing upgrade in one's battle strength!
It was because higher realm meant deeper understanding of the law fragments in heaven and earth. It allowed Gu Masters to refine new, better Gu worms, create more killer moves and display greater dominance of their paths.
Fang Yuan had the most understanding of blood path among all the major paths. In his previous life, he was an awe-inspiring blood path grandmaster!
His battle strength was outstanding and he had created many new Gu worms of blood path, and these new Gu had even surpassed Blood Sea Ancestor's in some aspects!
He had also researched many blood path killer moves, and despite them being mortal killer moves, they had extraordinary power.
Fang Yuan now had the immortal killer move myriad self, the representation of the convergence of enslavement and strength path, a unique killer move created from squeezing out all his potential, and with the help of natural inspiration and wisdom Gu.
But even with such a killer move, when his battle strength was considered, it was not a match with his peak blood path attainment in his previous life.
Fang Yuan could suppress his immortal killer move myriad self by just using his previous life's blood path killer moves.
He had even created, from initially nothing, some remnant recipes of completely new Immortal Gu with his grandmaster realm. Of course, the completion rates of these remnant recipes were rather low.
This was the world of Gu, and more than that, it was the world of Gu Masters.
Gu worms involved nurturing, use and refinement, and the bulk of these fundamentals relied upon Gu Masters.
Generation after generation of Gu Masters brought forth new developments, constantly using their plentiful creative prowess to research new Gu worms and open new paths, which then created the extremely wondrous way of Gu which covered all aspects! Thus, heroes were able to emerge like stars in the sky over the boundless history of humans.
Gu is the essence of heaven and earth, man is the spirit of all living things!
The famed people of the past had accomplishments as high as the mountains that the later generations would find hard to surpass. However, on the whole, the strength of the five regions was growing steadily and becoming much more profound, surpassing the eras of Immemorial, Olden Antiquity and so on.
"Gu Masters nurture, use and refine Gu, getting down to the basics, it is a process of humans probing and studying nature, the world, and the Great Dao. Be it a xianxia world, a magic-based world, or a scientific world, they are all the same, they are all the exploration and study of nature and the world itself. It is only that the difference in the world's laws make the exploration methods different."
Once can only learn if they explore continuously. Only by learning could they have accumulation. And only with accumulation could they transcend the world!
"And in this world, the measurement of the stage-wise accomplishments of study of heaven and earth, and the Great Dao is the realm of every paths! Great Dao is a closed book, and for a Gu Master to study and explore heaven and earth, they have to use Gu worms to approach the Great Dao with different methods, they need to constantly summarize their comprehensions, need insights and require sufficient experience. However, right now I am obtaining true meaning infusion which is as if I am observing the world while standing on the shoulder of a giant! It is making Reckless Savage Demon Venerable open the pages of the closed book to the parts which I can understand and let me read it directly. This is a shortcut, an extremely rare fortuitous encounter! This will save me a great deal of time and immense effort!"
Fang Yuan was more excited the more he thought of it.
'Hei Lou Lan! You are a lunatic! You actually wanted to learn from Reckless Savage Demon Venerable while gaining natural inspiration, and obtaining the infusion of true meaning. Hmph, are you not afraid you can't manage to comprehend them all and be thrown into confusion, even failing your immortal ascension! However… your greed, I like it a lot. This gift from you, I shall accept it all!'
Fang Yuan shouted inwardly; with such heavy profits ahead of him, he decided to not leave behind even a little!
Myriad self! Myriad self! Myriad self!
He activated his immortal killer move nonstop; for the first time, he disregarded the costs as he activated it frantically!
Countless strength path phantoms emerged, forming a huge army inside the immortal aperture, their scale several times larger than before.
At the same time, large numbers of mortal Gu forming the immortal killer move perished, this was the backlash from heaven and earth, and also the consequences of Fang Yuan's extreme rate of activation.
However, Fang Yuan did not feel any heartache, everything was okay as long as the core, cleanse soul Immortal Gu, did not have any problems. He had made ample preparations for this trip and had brought large numbers of mortal Gu for replenishment and substitution.
"Come!" Fang Yuan lifted his chest as countless strength path phantoms surged out from his immortal aperture.
The strength path phantom army flooded the world, as if it could engulf mountains and rivers. The sparse battle strength just before was immediately replenished and soon surpassed the previous limit, reaching a new height.
Large numbers, no, a sea of strength path phantoms filled the whole battlefield.
"This… there are at least three hundred thousand!" Tai Bai Yun Sheng and even Fairy Li Shan was stupefied at this sight.
The ancient pegasus group was firmly surrounded in the air by the strength path phantom army.
The slaughter between the two sides had reached the climax.
Fang Yuan walked leisurely on the ice surface below the ongoing aerial battle.
Joyful will were created and rapidly expended in his mind. Under his command, the army coordinated to form different groups, and like giant hands, they pounced upon four winged pegasi without caring for losses.
Next, dozens of strength path phantoms worked together to forcefully push the four winged pegasi down to the ice surface.
Then, Fang Yuan would slowly walk over, raise his eight thick giant arms and shower down punches for the kill.
Miserable neighing sounds filled the area as pegasi were shattered apart. True meaning rushed into Fang Yuan's mind and the profundities of the Great Dao were rapidly absorbed. His movement stiffened for several breaths of time before recovering once again.
Fang Yuan thus engaged in crazy slaughter of ancient pegasi.
"Refreshing!" After another true meaning infusion, he excitedly roared, his gaze was so blood red that it was difficult to stare at it directly!
The strength path realm which would have taken years and even dozens of years to raise, was rapidly advancing following the true meaning infusion.
Fang Yuan felt incomparable pleasure and enjoyment.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng was watching with a dumbstruck expression, Fang Yuan's madness made him feel a chill from the depths of his heart. Even Fairy Li Shan could not help but be silent.
After less than half of the pegasus group was destroyed, the earthly calamity transformed again. The pegasus group merged together to form thirty-three giant snakes.
These giant snakes were as large as a house and had extremely powerful defense, covered with black armor and shields. When they fell on the ground, they immediately occupied terrain advantage.
"Another transformation and this time to shield snake?" Fang Yuan laughed malevolently; he did not move, the strength path phantom army in the air had already shrouded over the snakes like dark clouds.
By occupying the ground, these shield snakes only needed to defend the attacks from above unlike if they were flying in the air where they could be attacked from all directions.
Fang Yuan's slaughter immediately slowed down.
It took a good while for the huge army to handle one shield snake.
Fang Yuan laughed maniacally as he pounced down upon it.
The shield snake was filled with injuries and before it could raise its head, it was bombarded by Fang Yuan's eight arms. The enormous strength from the overlaying of forty-five group strength Gu directly destroyed the shield snake.
An enormous true meaning that far surpassed the previous ones charged into Fang Yuan's mind.
The snake corpse that had lost its head suddenly dissipated, transforming into small snakes; in few moments, the place was filled with a sea of ferocious and slippery snakes.
Fang Yuan was in the process of comprehending essence of Great Dao and could not budge, thus he fell in the sea of snakes.
The snake sea attacked madly, quickly covering his enormous body.
Fang Yuan's comprehension this time was different from before. In the previous true meaning infusion, Fang Yuan felt like he had turned into a pegasus, living its life from birth to death, from young to old, running on the firm ground and soaring on the vast sky…
He sensed the unique body structure of Pegasus, the use of various strengths and the ingenuity of using power.
And now, he turned into a snake from breaking out of the egg to devouring all kinds of preys. He personally experienced the twisting snake body, the strength of its constriction, the muscle rhythm when it swallowed its food, the force application when its head moved like lightning to capture prey…
Not only was it raising the strength path realm, but transformation path and even flying master attainment were advancing.
These experiences extended and stepped on the maxim of strength path. These maxims covered extremely large information and were hard to describe using words. Because the wonders of Great Dao could not be put to words; words would be too simple, too dull, too shallow and simply not be able to portray its mysteries and wonders!

Chapter 688: Second Battle With Hei Cheng (1/2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Fang Yuan!" Tai Bai Yun Sheng's shout could be heard loudly, Fang Yuan opened his eyes and woke up from within the sea of snakes.
All around him, from head to toe, there were snakes. Countless snakes were coiling around him, trying to kill and devour him. If not for Fang Yuan's hair armor protecting him, these small snakes might have drilled into his stomach already.
Fang Yuan laughed heartily, he was joyful instead of shocked!
He stretched out eight huge arms, grabbing with his hands as he destroyed dozens of small snakes. Tens of gushed into his mind.
His consciousness was blur for a moment, but recovered immediately.
As he slowly adapted to it, and as his attainment level increased, the speed of him absorbing the became faster and faster.
Addicted to killing, he withdrew the hair armor and opened his mouth, sucking.
Immediately, countless small snakes crawled into his mouth.
He opened his mouth to chew, his sharp fangs tearing the snake body into shreds, next he swallowed and the snake corpse vanished down his throat, disappearing from this world.
Waves of filled his heart and mind unceasingly.
Strength path , transformation path , all these turned into traces and were absorbed by him. At the same time, with trial and error, he became familiar with the new knowledge, it gave Fang Yuan a much deeper understanding in other territories. For example, his flying attainment.
After Fang Yuan killed the third huge shield snake, his strength path attainment level went from quasi-grandmaster to grandmaster realm.
Strength path grandmaster!
That is to say, if given a bit more time, Fang Yuan would reach the level of blood path in his previous life! Because his blood path attainment level was also grandmaster realm.
Right now, his mind was filled with countless thoughts and countless inspiration. His understanding of strength path had reached a whole new level, he could create many strength path Gu worms and many mortal killer moves that were related to strength path now.
But Fang Yuan was not satisfied, he continued slaughtering.
The earthly calamity failed after transforming into the icefall divine ape, the ancient pegasus, and the shield snake group. Now, there was a new transformation, it turned onto a group of rockmen.
Fang Yuan manipulated the army, killing the rockmen, he trampled on their heads and swallowed their bodies, understanding the power of thickness.
The earthly calamity turned into a bee group next, as Fang Yuan self-detonated his strength path phantoms continuously, learning the power of piercing.
The earthly calamity transformed into the rhinoceros, as Fang Yuan killed them, he learned about the power of charging.
As his strength path attainment continued to rise, after he stabilized his grandmaster realm, he started charging towards quasi-great grandmaster realm.
Right at this moment, two bright rainbows, one black and one white, pierced the air and descended.
"We finally found you!"
"You were in the icy plains indeed."
As the rainbow faded, two people, Hei Cheng and Xue Song Zi appeared.
The strong enemies had appeared!
"So many strength path phantoms, what is going on?" Xue Song Zi's pupils shrunk, before they shone in a bright heated light: "Oh? This is… it seems the rumors were true, undergoing tribulation in the icy plains will possibly attract Reckless Savage Demon Venerable's true meaning!"
Hei Cheng's eyes were eerily looking at the battlefield, next his gaze focused on the three colored qi cocoon.
After such a long time, Hei Lou Lan had not finished absorbing the three qi yet, her human qi was simply too huge in quantity!
"Hehehe, Hei Lou Lan, you guys have nowhere to run, why don't you surrender." Hei Cheng laughed heartily, he opened his right palm and revealed an Immortal Gu.
This Immortal Gu gave off an eerie blue light, it was a time path rank six Immortal Gu.
The aura of the Immortal Gu was surging, it resonated with the two time path Immortal Gu in Tai Bai Yun Sheng's aperture, causing them to vibrate.
Fairy Li Shan's expression changed, she showed herself and stood in front of Hei Lou Lan, she spoke coldly: "Instant Pause?"
This was the rank six time path Immortal Gu Instant Pause, it could freeze the time of the target for six moments, with this Gu around, Hei Cheng did not have to worry about Fang Yuan running away using Fixed Immortal Travel.
Hei Cheng saw Fairy Li Shan and his gaze concentrated, he spoke with depe intent: "To think that the mastermind behind all this was Fairy Li Shan. Why are you sowing discord between us father and daughter? Oh I see, as expected, which Gu Immortal would not be interested in the yin-yang life extension method in my possession?"
Saying so, Hei Cheng laughed sarcastically, he showed a mocking expression to Fairy Li Shan as he oozed with confidence.
Fairy Li Shan's expression was solemn, her voice became louder as it filled the skies: "Hei Cheng, you are destined to fail today. Don't think of causing any harm to Little Lan, because the person stopping you will be me!"
Saying so, Fairy Li Shan stopped hiding it, she revealed the grand aura of a rank seven Gu Immortal.
At the same time, the surface of the ice broke, countless tree roots grew rapidly, they coiled around and moved like huge pythons.
The trees grew quickly, it soon became a forested area. After a few breaths, pear blossoms grew, the smell of the flowers was fragrant and spread for several li.
Fairy Li Shan stood under the tree, her body was shielded by the leaves and branches, vanishing.
Meanwhile, Hei Lou Lan was still balancing the three qi, she was on top of the pear tree.
Battlefield killer move — Pear Orchard!
"To think that third leader's cultivation level had reached rank seven secretly. Be careful Hei Cheng, third leader cultivates earth and woof path, she had set up this battlefield earlier, I am also a member of Snowy Mountain blessed land, I cannot battle Fairy Li Shan due to the alliance rules." Xue Song Zi reminded.
Usually when Fairy Li Shan showed up in northern plains, she always revealed rank six cultivation. Few knew about her true cultivation level.
Hei Cheng's expression was calm, his gaze shifted to Fang Yuan, Tai Bai Yun Sheng and Fairy Li Shan for a moment, before turning back to Hei Lou Lan.
"One immortal zombie, one rank six Gu Immortal, one rank seven Gu Immortal…" Hei Cheng muttered, he snorted coldly, saying to Xue Song Zi: "Go deal with that immortal zombie and the rank six Gu Immortal, after I kill Fairy Li Shan, we will take down Hei Lou Lan."
His tone was filled with decisiveness and confidence.
Although Fairy Li Shan was rank seven, her battle strength should be at the lower tier of rank seven, it was quite far from Hei Cheng.
"Okay!" Seeing that the toughest foe was going to be dealt with by Hei Cheng, Xue Song Zi agreed.
He flew down, straight towards the earthly calamity.
He was someone who had knowledge, he knew that the earthly calamity contained a Demon Venerable, true meaning, even if he was not a strength path or transformation path Gu Immortal, he wanted a share of it. Gu Immortals usually ventured into many paths so that they could assist their main path, who would be unhappy with a higher attainment?
"You're courting death!" Fang Yuan saw Xue Song Zi rushing here and shouted angrily, a ruthless light flashing in his eyes.
"Merely a rank six immortal zombie, you dare to speak such words!" Xue Song Zi snorted in disdain, he rapidly got closer.
In his first battle with Hei Cheng, Fang Yuan focused on retreating, to escape from the place. Thus, he did not reveal his true battle strength.
Hei Cheng and Xue Song Zi analyzed the situation, and assumed that Fang Yuan's two movement Immortal Gu were lent to him by other Gu Immortals.
Even though Fang Yuan's strength path phantom army was fighting against the earthly calamity intensely.
First, the earthly calamity was already half destroyed, second, wide range killer move were very common, third, most immortal zombie's battle strength was lower than ordinary Gu Immortals, and finally, there was a rank six Gu Immortal and a rank seven Gu Immortal on Fang Yuan's side, Xue Song Zi subconsciously underestimated Fang Yuan's threat.
Xue Song Zi's speed was very fast, he was right above Fang Yuan in a moment's time.
"I'll let you taste my power!" He growled, he pushed with his hands and used his killer moves.
Drifting Snow! Ice Mountain Awl! Snow Sparrow Crisis!
He used three killer moves at once, this showed Xue Song Zi extraordinary control over manipulating Gu worms.
These three killer moves were all attack type killer moves. In an instant, intense winds blew as snow blew in the air, countless snowflakes gathered into birds, they moved fluidly in the intense wind and snow, with much spiritualism, there were thousands of them! Twenty to thirty icicles that were the size of mountains were covered in sharp spikes as they flew towards Fang Yuan, trying to pierce through his body.
Fang Yuan laughed coldly, he waved his hand and the myriad army moved!
Myriad self moved with courage, their shouts overwhelmed the heavens, everywhere the army went, ice mountains collapsed, snow sparrows cried, and the snow stopped.
"Eh?!" Xue Song Zi's expression changed, only after fighting did he realize the truly fearsome might of myriad self!
Seeing that the myriad self army was coming for him, Xue Song Zi growled angrily as his hair stood up, traces and traces of frost energy shot out from them.
In an instant, the frost energy spread quickly and formed an ice crystal domain in the air.
Battlefield killer move — Snow Domain!
"Towering pine tree, icy hair dragon stream!" Xue Song Zi growled, using two defensive killer moves at once.
Immediately, pine trees grew in the snow domain, from nothingness, they grew, becoming large trees with high density, the branches tied the trees together, forming many thick walls of defense.
As for his long snow white hair, they extended and gave off a dragon's cry in the air. The long hair turned into dozens of dragon shaped ice, coiling around his body and forming a castle-like defense, with Xue Song Zi protected tightly in the most center.
However, when myriad self army charged over, pine trees collapsed, and ice dragons shattered, the snow domain lasted for a moment before breaking apart.
"An immortal killer move! Who in the world is this immortal zombie?" Xue Song Zi's expression was pale, his eyes showed panic as he retreated quickly, even faster than when he came, he was in a pathetic state!
At the same time, Hei Cheng and Fairy Li Shan had engaged in intense battle.
The battle of the two had reached the climax right from the start.
Hei Cheng used dark arrow Immortal Gu to its limits, shooting three dark arrows into the pear orchard, flying around and trying to locate Fairy Li Shan's true hiding place.
In the pear orchard, it was dense with vegetation, an pear blossoms fell from the trees. The roots were tangled together and growing, as hundreds of sunflower king lotus appeared.
As the lotus opened, beams of burning light shot towards Hei Cheng.
Hei Cheng's body shuddered, dark liquid oozed out of his black robe, dying the area around him black. This was also a battlefield killer move, called dark veil.
In the dark veil, black balls were shot out, pouring down like rain.
The black balls slammed into the pear orchard, forming huge pitch black spirals. This was the killer move that Hei Lou Lan used in the imperial court contest — Dark Vortex.
The dark vortex expanded, corroding the trees and flowers, causing huge holes to form in the pear orchard.
Meanwhile, the heated beams of sunlight also tore open some areas of the dark veil.
As the two continued to attack, the light beams fell in quantity while the number of dark vortexes increased, Hei Cheng quickly gained the upper hand.
As expected of a famous rank seven Gu Immortal expert in northern plains!

Chapter 689: Second Battle With Hei Cheng (2/2)

"Found it." Hei Cheng's eyes shone brightly, he laughed sinisterly as he used his investigative killer move, finding out Fairy Li Shan's figure in the pear orchard.
He immediately used dark arrow Immortal Gu to its limit, as three dark arrows shot out into the air, towards its target.
The pear orchard went into action, countless tree roots stretched out, moved and coiled around like dragons, they desperately blocked these three arrows.
At the crucial moment, Fairy Li Shan was gritted her teeth, her eyes bright as a lamp.
She shouted in her heart: "Earth flower lotus burial!"
The ground exploded loudly, as a huge man eating flower appeared at lightning speed.
The man eating flower opened its mouth, swallowing a dark arrow. Next, the entire man eating flower's size shrunk, it was less than half of its original mass, but it could trap the dark arrow temporarily.
Hei Cheng snorted, his gaze was shining as the swallowed dark arrow was trying to escape, forming a sharp pointed bulge in the man eating flower's surface.
But next, more man eating flowers appeared from the ground. The second man eating flower ate the first man eating flower, shrinking after that. The third man eating flower ate the second man eating flower. Repeating the process, after seventeen to eighteen man eating flowers were summoned, Hei Cheng's connection to this dark arrow fell by at least thirty percent.
Hei Cheng knew that this dark arrow could not escape in the short run, his attention was on his two remaining arrows.
Fairy Li Shan's expression was pale, she shouted lowly: "Fading heavenly flower."
A large number of pear blossoms flew, they were pure as white snow, they floating in the air and turned into light specks.
The dark arrow's speed was fast, but the great number of light specks were all over the sky, during the process of the arrow's flight, it was stained.
Hot sparks developed on the dark arrow which was covered in light specks, white spots appeared on the dark arrow, causing its speed and power to fall.
Hei Cheng snorted, he knew the other party was well prepared. He was openly being targeted by his enemies in the dark, everyone knew about this Immortal Gu Dark Arrow, thus his attack was countered.
But he was not to be trifled with, even though he did not develop an immortal killer move using dark arrow Immortal Gu as the core Gu, he had been trying and had obtained several mortal killer moves that could cause changes to the dark arrows.
Hei Cheng stared with his eyes, using a set of mortal Gu in his immortal aperture. The two dark arrows changed directions, meeting in the air and fusing, becoming one again.
After fusing, the dark arrow was darker without a single light speck, it regained its former speed and power.
The dark arrow shot like lightning, stabbing into a huge trunk in pear orchard.
In Hei Cheng's field of vision, Fairy Li Shan was hiding in this tree trunk.
But at the next moment, Fairy Li Shan voice came from the other side: "You fell for it, Hei Cheng. Tree flower sheds tears!"
A bright flower bloomed in the tree trunk, as thick nectar oozed out from the center of the flower, it was extremely fragrant.
Dark arrow hit an wooden puppet that resembled Fairy Li Shan, the nectar spread and covered this dark arrow completely.
Thereafter, the nectar solidified, becoming like amber as it sealed the dark arrow inside.
"Hei Cheng, today, you will definitely fail!" Fairy Li Shan's body was on top of a tree crown, although she was pale and perspiring profusely, her eyes were bright and her aura was strong.
Hei Cheng's great strength was highly attributed to the dark arrow Immortal Gu.
This was an attack type Immortal Gu, Fairy Li Shan only had a mountain pledge Gu, she could not face it head on. She could only exert her methods and use three mortal killer moves to seal the dark arrows.
After the dark arrows were sealed, Hei Cheng lost his strongest means of attacking.
"Really? You think that's all I have?" Hei Cheng stood in the dark veil, looking down at Fairy Li Shan as he showed a mocking smile towards Fairy Li Shan.
Under Fairy Li Shan's supervision, he stretched out his arm, opening his palm and revealing a black pearl.
This black pearl was about the size of a rice bowl, it was black and shiny, like a black crystal. On the surface of this translucent pearl, one could see a boar shaped animal sleeping inside.
Fairy Li Shan saw this pearl and her eyes immediately enlarged, she showed a shocked and scared expression: "This is Dark Prison?"
Hei Cheng nodded slightly: "That's right, this is my Hei tribe's rank six Immortal Gu House — Dark Prison."
His voice was monotone, but it contained a feeling of pride.
Hei Cheng was not Hei tribe's supreme first elder, but to ensure that this trip had no accidents, he paid a huge price and borrow this item from Hei tribe's supreme first elder.
"This is bad…" Fairy Li Shan's heart sank to rock bottom. Dark prison was a beast stable, trapped inside was the ancient desolate beast sharp tusk boar. If it was summoned, Fairy Li Shan would be in deep trouble.
Be it pear orchard, earth flower lotus burial, fading heavenly flower, or tree flower sheds tears, these were all mortal killer move. In order to deal with Hei Cheng's dark arrow Immortal Gu, Fairy Li Shan had thought through it carefully and devised three killer moves that could temporarily seal the dark arrows.
But because of this, her mind was worn out and her head was hurting. Although she had the pear orchard battlefield, she had fallen into a disadvantage against Hei Cheng's dark veil, she could only hang on and pray that Hei Lou Lan's tribulation would finish soon, to come over and assist her.
However, sharp tusk boar was an ancient desolate beast, destroying the pear orchard was as easy as stomping on a garden. Once pear orchard was destroyed, the three 'flower moves' that relied on pear orchard would weaknen greatly, the dark arrows would escape.
"If that happens, all the effort I put in earlier would go to waste!" Fairy Li Shan gritted her teeth, but right at this moment, she heard a warning from Tai Bai Yun Sheng — be careful!
Of what?
Fairy Li Shan looked back, seeing that a dark arrow had secretly flew over, it was thirty centimeters away from her.
"What? But I made arrangements around here…" Fairy Li Shan was shocked, but it was too late.
The dark arrow flew over, piercing into her forehead, through her skull, and coming out of the back of her head.
"Little aunt!" Hei Lou Lan screamed, she had finally digested all three qi and had recovered her mobility. But the moment she opened her eyes, she saw that the relative that had always taken good care of her was killed by a dark arrow piercing her skull, dying a terrible death.
"It's over." Hei Cheng kept the ball shaped Dark Prison.
Fairy Li Shan had only seal two dark arrows, when the two arrows combined earlier, Hei Cheng had secretly shot out a third dark arrow. Using the Dark Prison to attract Fairy Li Shan's attention, he secretly utilized several mortal killer moves, together with dark arrow, he took down all of the defenses around Fairy Li Shan.
However, at the next moment!
A flash of light shot over, as Fairy Li Shan returned to the state a moment ago, her injuries were gone and her skull was intact.
Immortal Gu Man as Before!
Far away, Tai Bai Yun Sheng breathed roughly as he said: "So close, I almost failed to make it!"
Hei Cheng's pupils shrunk, his anger was rising.
He was not furious that Tai Bai Yun Sheng had ruined his battle result, but he was angry at Xue Song Zi for not doing his best! They had agreed that he would kill Fairy Li Shan while Xue Song Zi would kill Tai Bai Yun Sheng and the immortal zombie who was Fang Yuan.
But the result was?
Tai Bai Yun Sheng could interfere in his battle!
"Xue Song Zi…" Hei Cheng gritted his teeth, he looked at the battlefield far away.
But what Hei Cheng saw was, Xue Song Zi's robe was tattered, he was escaping with an expression of fear. His long hair had become much shorter, he was almost bald.
His face was bruised, a part of it was swollen and his body was covered in blood, one of his arm was hanging on his body, the bone had fractured.
Hei Cheng's pupils could not help but contract.
Xue Song Zi had healing Gu in his possession. For Gu Immortals, a fracture was not a heavy injury.
But the point was, the opponent gave Xue Song Zi absolutely no time to heal his fracture!
This… exactly how strong was the enemy?
As if answering his question, the strength path phantom army numbering over two hundred thousand shouted and caused a tremor in heaven and earth.
They were a huge mob, even thicker than the tribulation cloud in the sky, chasing after Xue Song Zi alone.
This was simply bullying!
Even this rank seven Gu Immortal Hei Cheng frowned deeply: "What is going on? Why have these strength path phantoms not been destroyed yet, in fact, even more are appearing?"
After that, he saw that half the phantom army was charging towards him.
Hei Cheng snorted coldly, he willed and several mortal killer moves were activated together.
Thousand Demon Rampage! Dark Fire! Black Wind Break!
"Kill!" The myriad self army charged.
In several breaths of time, the demons were crying, the dark fire dimmed, and the black winds dissipated.
Hei Cheng who had always been confident and relaxed finally changed his expression: "This power… this is an immortal killer move! This immortal zombie that looks inconspicuous has the highest battle strength?"
The myriad self army pressed forth, charging into Hei Cheng's dark veil battlefield fearlessly.
The pitch black battlefield that occupied half the sky was quickly smashed and taken down, it resembled the clothing of a beggar, extremely tattered.
Hei Cheng's eyes twitched, he had to retreat!
He was handsome and elegant, even when he retreated, he still kept his cool, his arms were like butterflies fluttering in the sky, activating mortal killer moves one after another.
But this could not stop the advancement of the myriad self army.
Just like a humongous tide, no matter how powerful his mortal killer moves were, they were like rocks in front of a tsunami, or weak little fish, they were all swept away and devoured mercilessly!
Hei Cheng squinted his eyes, his expression turned grim.
He finally understood how Xue Song Zi felt, facing the myriad self army, he was a great rank seven Gu Immortal, a famous expert in northern plains, but now he felt a sense of helplessness and weakness.
The army had formed into an overwhelming size, it was unstoppable!
"This immortal killer move… even if I use Dark Prison and release the sharp tusk boar, I will not be its match!" Hei Cheng retreated under the pressure of the army.
Under this situation, if Hei Cheng wanted to turn the situation around, he would need to kill Fang Yuan's main body using dark arrows. But two dark arrows were already trapped by Fairy Li Shan, the remaining one could do nothing to Fang Yuan who had Immortal Gu Worldly Wave Trace.
"This lunatic, how many beads of immortal essence did he use?!" Hei Cheng cursed in his heart, his eyes were fixed on Fang Yuan who was on the ground.
Fang Yuan absorbed another trace of the Demon Venerable intent, sensing Hei Cheng's dangerous gaze, he looked back and gave Hei Cheng a smile of disdain.
At the same time, a large portion of the army charged towards Hei Cheng.
"This fellow!" Hei Cheng finally showed a trace of nervousness. Being pincer attacked by two armies, he could only dodge in the sky. Even after he used countless mortal killer moves, he could only halt the army's advancement slightly.
At this moment, the situation had become — two Gu Immortals were being chased down by Fang Yuan alone.
"Good job junior brother!"
Fairy Li Shan stood on the tree crown, seeing this, her expression froze slightly. She did not expect the situation to become like this.
Over at Fang Yuan's side, he had finally destroyed the earthly calamity and obtained all of the true meaning infusion. His strength path attainment was still grandmaster realm, it did not break through again. But his transformation path attainment rose to become a transformation master. As for his flying attainment, it also grew significantly, he broke through master level and reached quasi-grandmaster realm.
But Fang Yuan was not satisfied, he said to Hei Lou Lan: "Quickly, don't you have small family qi Gu, release all of the collected earth qi, we might attract more earthly calamity!"
Everyone heard this and were speechless.
Hei Lou Lan rolled her eyes, after the infusion of the three qi, the essence of her life had been elevated, she had transcended mortals and became a Gu Immortal. Her body was purified in all aspects, even the heavy injury in her eye sockets had healed completely.
"I have to keep these small family qi Gu to refine Immortal Gu. Time is limited, let's retreat!" Hei Lou Lan rejected Fang Yuan's suggestion and shouted.
Fang Yuan licked his lips, unsatisfied. But since she did not agree, there was nothing he could do.
Everyone gathered and entered Fang Yuan's immortal aperture.
Fang Yuan looked at the icy plain battlefield longingly, using Fixed Immortal Travel at long last.
Three breaths later, he vanished, returning to Snowy Mountain blessed land.
"We're letting him leave?" Xue Song Zi and Hei Cheng gathered.
Hei Cheng's brows rose, he said coldly: "Even if I have Instant Pause, can you break through the defense of these strength path phantoms?"
Xue Song Zi looked at the remaining myriad self army in the battlefield and was unable to say a word.

Chapter 690: A Commotion in Northern Plains, A Wisdom Path Inheritance
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the quiet room at the third branch peak of Snowy Mountain.
It was fine weather outside. Clear blue sky, refreshing air and tall white snowy mountains combined to form a tranquil and boundless view.
The fragrance of tea filled the quiet room.
Fang Yuan was gasping as he lay down with his body full of injuries; thin streams of zombie blood flowed out from the wounds and accumulated on the ground.
However, he did not care and also did not feel any pain. Seven minutes had gone by already since he had closed his eyes to rest.
Besides him, there were three others in the quiet room.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng was standing next to Fang Yuan, quickly moving his hands, emitting rays of black light that were healing Fang Yuan's injuries.
Fairy Li Shan was sitting at her old spot beside the window, absent-mindedly brewing tea, while most of her attention was focused on Hei Lou Lan who was beside her.
Hei Lou Lan was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed, her face looked solemn and respectful like a jade statue.
There were three steps in immortal ascension: shattering the aperture, receiving qi and releasing Gu. She had completed the first two steps when undergoing tribulation in the icy plain. And after returning to the quiet room using Fixed Immortal Travel, she had started the third step.
With her foundation, the creation of her immortal aperture was a settled matter. Right now, she was probably refining Immortal Gu in her immortal aperture and resisting the heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity formed in there.
By the looks of it, she was going to complete this step alone and did not want an outsider's help.
However, if there was any problem, Hei Lou Lan would immediately ask for help; Fang Yuan, Fairy Li Shan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng would have to quickly enter Hei Lou Lan's immortal aperture and resist the heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity.
By the time the tea was boiling and gurgling, Hei Lou Lan let out a breath of turbid air and slowly opened her eyes.
This movement immediately attracted the other three's gazes.
Fairy Li Shan stopped brewing and placed the teapot down in a hurry, asking in concern: "Success?"
Hei Lou Lan nodded.
Fairy Li Shan took a deep breath, her eyes reddened as she spoke in a choked voice filled with excitement and relief: "Little Lan, you have the Great Strength True Martial Physique and now have succeeded in becoming an immortal, you possess a super grade blessed land and have extraordinary potential. Truly, after a dark cloud comes a clear sky, if sister knew of this in the afterlife, she would certainly be happy!"
When an ordinary Gu Master advanced to Gu Immortal, their blessed land could be classified into one of three grades: high, middle or low.
When one of the ten extreme physiques advanced to Gu Immortal, they would be taking an enormous risk and naturally would have bigger gains. If their immortal ascension succeeded, their blessed land would be a super grade blessed land!
High grade blessed lands were formed with a size of 4700km2 to 6000km2, drew in a large tributary of the river of time and created over thirty beads of immortal essence. There would be plenty of heaven and earth qi remaining which could mutually interact and refine the vital Gu and core Gu into Immortal Gu.
Super grade blessed lands were even larger with a territory of over 6700 km2. The tributary of the river of time it drew in would be gigantic and the amount of green grape immortal essence created would surpass fifty beads! If there was nothing unexpected, it could create at least two Immortal Gu.
Hei Lou Lan appeared tranquil: "I have succeeded in advancing to Gu Immortal but have yet to kill that old scumbag."
Her indifferent tone contained a deep and piercing hatred.
"Hei Lou Lan, I hate to be blunt but the chances of killing Hei Cheng with only the four of us, even if he is alone, are rather low." Tai Bai Yun Sheng coughed, and said.
"Right, defeating a Gu Immortal is easy but killing is another thing altogether." Fang Yuan heaved a deep sigh as he stood up, the injuries on his body had essentially healed.
Previously, in his battle with Gu Immortal Plump Lady in western desert, he had obtained superiority but Plump Lady had still escaped.
This time, he battled Hei Cheng and Xue Song Zi, his phantom army had taken the lead and were able to wreak havoc, but they couldn't trap the two Gu Immortals and could only let them retreat safely.
Myriad self was strong but there was nothing to be done about it if the enemy did not engage you head-on.
Gu Immortals were smart and knew to avoid the enemy's strong points. In truth, Fang Yuan's second battle with Hei Cheng could only be considered a draw.
It was true that Fang Yuan had the upper hand, but it was hard to maintain this dominance for long; if the time was stretched on, the strength path phantoms would dissipate and it would then be Hei Cheng's turn to counterattack.
This immortal killer move indeed could build up to a big advantage, but not to the extent of being at complete dominance against Hei Cheng.
Thus, when Hei Lou Lan said to retreat, Fang Yuan did not oppose. He stopped at the right time and activated Fixed Immortal Travel, bringing them back here.
Hei Lou Lan looked at Fang Yuan and gave a slight smile: "To be able to succeed this time in resisting the enemy and allowing me to pass the tribulation is thanks to your strength."
"Since we are allies, we naturally need to help each other out." A sharp light flashed through Fang Yuan's eyes.
He helped Hei Lou Lan this time, and when Immortal Crane Sect attacks Hu Immortal blessed land later, they would also have to help Fang Yuan according to the alliance agreement.
It involved reciprocity in mutual benefits for both sides.
"According to the previous agreement, here is small family qi Gu's recipe. Also, of the thirty immortal essence stones I lent, you only need to return half." Fairy Li Shan spoke.
She by now had a hint of Fang Yuan's nature, only tangible benefits matched his tastes.
Fang Yuan accepted the recipe for small family qi Gu, then sighed: "In this battle, I won and also lost, consuming over sixty green grape immortal essence. The fifteen immortal essence stones I owe you, I am afraid it might take some time for me to return them."
Fairy Li Shan was in a good mood because of Hei Lou Lan's success in advancing, she immediately stated: "No need to hurry, whenever your circumstances are better, you can return them to me and I also won't collect any interest on them. Also, didn't you ask us about wisdom path inheritances?"
"Could it be that you have some clues?" Fang Yuan was pleasantly surprised.
Fairy Li Shan slowly said: "There is a clue. You are also aware of northern plains' number one wisdom path Gu Immortal, Dong Fang Chang Fan's death some months ago. He left behind an intact wisdom path inheritance for his successor, Dong Fang Yu Liang, but Dong Fang Yu Liang is only a mortal and it will be hard for him to preserve a Gu Immortal inheritance, especially when this inheritance is a wisdom path inheritance."
"According to the tip-off, Dong Fang Chang Fan has placed this wisdom path inheritance in a hidden place and even Dong Fang tribe's other Gu Immortals don't know about its exact position. Only Dong Fang Yu Liang holds the key clue."
Even though just before his death, Dong Fang Chang Fan had formed a non-aggression pact with Huang Jin tribes and other super forces.
However, he had not formed an agreement with demonic path Gu Immortals. His capability had not reached the point where it could sweep through both righteous and demonic.
Dong Fang Chang Fan's wisdom path inheritance had already attracted the covetous gazes of many demonic path Gu Immortals. Even Dong Fang tribe's other Gu Immortals had some thoughts on it.
Thus, Dong Fang Chang Fan made these arrangements, completely hiding his wisdom path inheritance and leaving it to only his approved successor – Dong Fang Yu Liang.
Fang Yuan was forced to think: 'I have the wisdom path Immortal Gu Delight in Water and Mountain, but my use of it is crude at best and I am unable to display the essence of wisdom path. Treasure yellow heaven has wisdom path Gu worms on sale, but a complete wisdom path inheritance would never be on sale. Wisdom path Gu worms are easy to obtain while wisdom path inheritances are rather hard to get. If I can obtain this complete wisdom path inheritance, I believe I will be able to use fewer wills and thoughts to deduce more items.'
Dong Fang Chang Fan was the number one Gu Immortal of wisdom path in northern plains while he was alive. His inheritance would naturally arouse Fang Yuan's interest.
But lying in front of Fang Yuan was a super force, the colossus Dong Fang tribe.
Dong Fang tribe had lost Dong Fang Chang Fan, but it still had several Gu Immortals to maintain the situation. On the contrary, Fang Yuan had just been in an intense battle with Hei Cheng and spent most of his green grape immortal essence, it was not possible for him to display the same mighty presence of the myriad self army in a short while.
"Right now, many demonic path Gu Immortals have already allied in secret to conspire for Dong Fang Chang Fan's wisdom path inheritance. Back when Dong Fang Chang Fan was alive, both the righteous and demonic path of northern plains suffered losses from him, many were schemed against and suffered setbacks under his hands. Reportedly, his successor Dong Fang Yu Liang has talents and aptitude as strong as Dong Fang Chang Fan's. Most of northern plains' Gu Immortals are not willing to see a second Dong Fang Chang Fan." Fairy Li Shan continued.
"Several months ago, some demonic path Gu Immortals already sought me out to use my mountain pledge Gu to reach a temporary alliance in their scheme for the wisdom path inheritance. But I had already made an alliance agreement with Dong Fang Chang Fan by then and could not make any moves against Dong Fang tribe. Fang Yuan, if you want, I can act as go-between and let you join this alliance. They would have a lot more detailed information and will be of great help to you when you contend for the inheritance."
Fang Yuan did not refuse but also did not immediately agree: "I need some time to consider."
"There is no hurry." Hei Lou Lan said, "Right now, the biggest news in northern plains is the matter of Qin Bai Sheng capturing Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun, holding the essence of the luck path true inheritance. This matter has already caused a commotion among most of the Gu Immortals of northern plains, even those rank eight old monsters are said to have come out of their seclusions."
Hei Lou Lan revealed a ridiculing expression: "Hehe, Qin Bai Sheng is a rank seven Gu Immortal, an expert among lone cultivators, having overpowering metal path battle strength and even being somewhat stronger than that old scoundrel Hei Cheng, but this luck path true inheritance is a thorny matter, almost all of northern plains' Gu Immortals are looking to deal with him. Right now, Gu Immortals from all around are rushing over, while Qin Bai Sheng is a lone force and even though he occupies a blessed land, there will be countless difficulties for him in resisting these assaults, his life will certainly be quite hard."
A cold light vaguely flashed in Fang Yuan's eyes before he muttered: "We are the survivors of the wind veil of assimilation. Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun were also involved in the event! Although they escaped early, they know about us and are barriers for us to move freely in northern plains."
Since the destruction of Imperial Court blessed land and the collapse of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, formless hands had carried many Immortal Gu to all parts of northern plains, causing chaos, commotion and frequent battles in the world of northern plains' Gu Immortals.
Afterwards, when most of the escaped wild Immortal Gu had been captured, the situation had calmed somewhat.
Now, however, the news of Qin Bai Sheng capturing Ma and Zhao caused undercurrents revolving around Qin Bai Sheng to surge in northern plains and the luck path true inheritance slowly formed tiny waves. As time passed, these tiny waves would definitely evolve into a huge storm that would engulf the whole of northern plains.
Fang Yuan, compared to other Gu Immortals, had much more reason to be involved in this.
However, his current strength appeared rather weak in front of such an enormous storm.
Without speaking any further, Fang Yuan took his leave and returned to Hu Immortal blessed land alone.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng remained here to heal Hei Lou Lan. Hei Lou Lan had passed the tribulation of her Immortal Gu, her immortal aperture was in ruins and required Tai Bai Yun Sheng's Landscape as Before.

Chapter 691: Quartet Sparrow Battle Tactic
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Hei tribe, Iron Eagle blessed land.
This was Hei tribe's base camp, the blessed land was huge and extensive, it was small at the bottom and large at the top.
Because of Hei tribe's first generation ancestor's unique specialties, Iron Eagle blessed land had little land, but the higher up in the air one went, the larger the space.
A sky that greatly exceeded that of ordinary blessed lands had countless circular wooden eagle nests floating in it.
These eagle nests were like small hills, innumerable iron eagles rested in them. The cries of eagles resounded endlessly, when a group of eagles flew, vast numbers of them traveled in formation, it was a spectacular view.
At the highest part of this blessed land, there was a garden.
The garden's artificial mountain had a pavilion on it.
In the pavilion, four supreme elders of Hei tribe were sitting around a square stone table, they had differing expressions.
First supreme elder had a solemn expression, second supreme elder was shutting his eyes and resting, third supreme elder was thinking with a troubled expression, fourth supreme elder's face was full of sweat.
The atmosphere was heavy, it was like the calm before the storm.
"My dear lord third elder, how long are you going to continue thinking?" Fourth supreme elder urged with an impatient tone.
"Rush, rush, rush, you only know how to rush me, don't you know this is a crucial moment? At this point, if I make the wrong move, my dozens of years of hard work would go down the drain!" Third supreme elder yapped away, his emotions becoming even more agitated.
He looked at first supreme elder in front of him, before looking at second supreme elder to the left, both of them had unchanging expressions, third supreme elder could not discern anything from their faces and the pressure in his heart intensified.
Right at this time, a figure slowly rose from below, quickly approaching this pavilion.
Hei tribe's second supreme elder opened a slit in each of his eyes, saying slowly: "Oh, Hei Cheng is back."
Hei Cheng entered the pavilion and paid respects to the four supreme elders.
These four supreme elders had deeper foundations than him in both status and cultivation. But with regards to battle strength, it was unknown until they fought seriously.
But within the tribe, Gu Immortal would spar at most, how could they fight seriously?
Furthermore, in righteous path forces, other than central continent's sect system, the other four regions looked at bloodline and seniority within their clans and tribes, even if Hei Cheng had higher battle strength, he would still need to respect them as a junior when he sees these four supreme elders.
"First elder, this is Dark Prison, I am returning it now." Hei Cheng took out the rank six Immortal Gu House and returned it to first supreme elder after paying respects to them.
First supreme elder took the Immortal Gu House Dark Prison, exclaiming: "You did not use Dark Prison, it seems your operation was very successful?"
Saying this, first supreme elder's gaze was still fixed on the stone table, he was only asking Hei Cheng casually.
Hei Cheng laughed: "It was very fortunate, this time the trip was smooth sailing, we have successfully suppressed Qiao tribe."
Qiao tribe was a large sized tribe, because all of Hei tribe's members inside Imperial Court blessed land had perished, Qiao tribe which was under them had become tempted to try and leave their control.
"Hmph, Qiao tribe's Gu Immortal, Qiao Dong, became an immortal due to my guidance back then. It has only been a few decades, his loyalty has wavered?" Second supreme elder said plainly.
"Therefore, this time, I struck and taught that Qiao Dong a lesson. Within five years, there should be no issues." Hei Cheng laughed calmly.
The suppression of Qiao tribe was an excuse HeI Cheng had prepared long ago.
Hei Cheng wanted to deal with his own daughter, Hei Lou Lan, this was not a righteous thing to do, he could only do it secretly.
He had planned to use Dark Prison to suppress Hei Lou Lan, preventing her from self-detonating. But he could not directly say this to the first supreme elder. Thus, he used Qiao tribe as an excuse, saying: In order to prevent any accidents when suppressing Qiao tribe, he borrowed Dark Prison.
"Five years?" Second supreme elder chuckled, shaking his head: "Northern plains is in a complete mess now, True Yang Building collapsed, the culprit has not been found. Wild Immortal Gu have been appearing constantly, all the different forces are fighting intensely. Especially now, Qin Bai Sheng's incident is becoming more heated, this involves Giant Sun's inheritance, even those rank eight old fossils are getting ready to strike."
Fourth supreme elder sighed: "True Yang Building collapsed, Imperial Court blessed land was destroyed as well, the Imperial Court contest has lost its meaning. What do we do from now on? All of the Huang Jin tribes, what procedures will they follow, we have no idea!"
Hei Cheng understood their intentions after hearing this, he lowered his head: "Junior understands, I will be more strict in handling the tribes, especially Qiao tribe, Huo tribe, and Zhuo tribe, these three vassals."
"That's right, this time, the entirety of Hei tribe died inside Imperial Court blessed land. There cannot be no display of Hei tribe in northern plains, Hei Cheng, go out into the blessed land and pick carefully, bring a portion of the tribesmen out and rebuild Hei tribe in northern plains." Third supreme elder thought about his tough problem as he gave his view on this matter.
"Yes, don't worry third elder. I have already started preparing. In half a month, northern plains' Hei tribe will be rebuilt." Hei Cheng answered.
"Alright, alright, let Hei Cheng handle the matters of the mortal tribe affairs, we have no worries. Third supreme elder, if you have the time to care about this, why don't you decide on the problem ahead. What tile are you playing?" Fourth supreme elder urged.
Third supreme elder's gaze flickered, he was very hesitant, but he finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind, playing a tile.
At the same time, he called out: "Three tiao!"
Immediately, all the other elders had differing expressions.
First supreme elder could not stay serious anymore, he laughed loudly, flipping over his tiles: "Haha, I won!"
"Argh!" Third supreme elder patted his leg with much force, he grabbed his snow white beard as he sighed: "If I knew, I would not have played three tiao, but six wan instead!"
After hearing this, second supreme elder stared with his eyes wide open, he turned over his own tiles, saying to supreme third elder: "Then play six wan, my set could've won with either four wan or six wan."
"Alright, enough, stop arguing. Quickly make the deal, I'm waiting to recoup my losses!" Fourth supreme elder said impatiently.
"Here, this is the Gu recipe that I researched after spending thirty years." Third supreme elder admitted his loss, he slammed one east window Gu on the table in front of first supreme elder.
First supreme elder took the east window Gu: "Alright, let's go to the next round. Same rules, we are not to use any Gu worms to cheat. We will state the wager first, I have two immortal essence stones."
"Ancient Gu recipe of crescent moon Gu."
"Twenty pieces of grey heart rock."
"A group of dragon eye fish, there is a fish emperor included."
Swish swish swish…
Eight arms swept around the stone table, shuffling the tiles.
Hei Cheng was silently standing at the side, he was very used to these four Hei tribe supreme elders' gambling habits.
The game they were playing was called quartet sparrow battle tactic, it was invented by a mortal genius back in earlier years of Hei tribe, mainly to bootlick the first supreme elder.
After first supreme elder obtained it, he had been playing it daily with the other three supreme elders, competing and engaging in 'battle'. Hei tribe's external affairs were almost all handled by Hei Cheng.
"Then, elders, junior will take his leave." Hei Cheng said.
"Go, go." The supreme elders waved their hands, they had started assembling their hand tiles as they replied to him halfheartedly.
A group of iron eagles flew outside the pavilion, they were screeching as suddenly, the eagle group spread and three desolate eagles appeared, with battle strength equivalent to rank six. One was a dragon eagle with a powerful aura, while the other two were iron crown eagles, having great spirit.
"Shoo, shoo." Third supreme elder waved his sleeves unhappily: "So noisy."
"Hehehe." First supreme elder had a kind and merciful smile, he waved his sleeves and a lot of food was sprinkled in the air.
The eagle group made happy cries, fighting for the food in the air.
Hei Cheng left Iron Eagle blessed land, flying towards the southwest direction, after flying for several minutes, he met Xue Song Zi.
Xue Song Zi had rested sufficiently, he no longer looked as pathetic as before, but he sighed when he saw Hei Cheng: "The situation has become troublesome. I just obtained some information, do you know which force has control of fixed immortal travel Immortal Gu?"
Hei Cheng replied: "You want to say, Immortal Crane Sect of central continent's ten ancient sects?"
"You already knew? When?" Xue Song Zi was slightly unhappy.
Hei Lou Lan snorted coldly: "Not too long ago. Earlier, Dong Fang Chang Fan deduced that Eighty-Eight True Yang Building's matter was related to central continent. Now, Hei Lou Lan has a mysterious immortal zombie around her that controls Fixed Immortal Travel. They are likely the same batch of people!"
Xue Song Zi's eyes narrowed, he fell into silence.
Honestly speaking, this information caught him off guard. He originally thought that they were dealing with a small mortal woman, to think that such a huge force like Immortal Crane Sect was involved now.
Although he had joined Snowy Mountain, this was only a loose alliance, demonic path Gu Immortals were usually selfish and only cared about self interest, they were not as united as the righteous path.
Hei Cheng's predicament was very awkward as well.
Although he was a Hei tribe Gu Immortal, something as shameless as targeting his own daughter could not be known to everyone. Even though many righteous path Gu Immortals were two faced and usually acted differently in public, they at least appeared righteous to the world.
Hei Cheng's matter could not be exposed, thus he could only act alone, even Dark Prison had to be borrowed using an excuse.
"Hmph, I wanted to kill a cat, but to think I messed with a tiger. Hei Cheng, I don't care! Since your secret is in my hands, I want five hundred immortal essence stones. Give me a copy of the yin-yang life extension method as well." Xue Song Zi broke the silence, his expression was ruthless.
He was not sincerely working with Hei Cheng in the first place, after realizing that Fang Yuan and others had deep backgrounds, he wanted to retreat now.
A cold light flashed in Hei Cheng's eyes, he stared at Xue Song Zi as he said slowly: "You know my situation. If you force me, at most, both of us will go down, you will get nothing!"
"You! Aren't you afraid…"
"Hmph, if I cannot catch Hei Lou Lan, I cannot gain lifespan, I am about to die, why would I care about reputation?"
Xue Song Zi was shivering in fury after hearing Hei Cheng's unscrupulous words, his eyes were blood shot: "Who could have thought that the grand Lord Hei Cheng is actually like this."
Hei Cheng shrugged nonchalantly: "Hehe, think what you want. Xue Song Zi, you were too naive. At this point, do you think you can keep out of this matter? Hei Lou Lan takes revenge very seriously, she has Fairy Li Shan backing her, do you think Snowy Mountain would care about you, the seventh peak's branch head, as opposed to the third leader?"
"There is something else I want to tell you. Central continent's Gu Immortals are ready to strike, the ten great ancient sects have created an allied force to charge into northern plains. Right now, the entirety of northern plains is in chaos, I'm sure that with Fairy Li Shan's skills, it would not be hard for her to use the central continent Gu Immortals as an excuse to indirectly kill you, that does not violate the Snowy Mountain union pact, right?"
Xue Song Zi's expression paled.

Chapter 692: The hard to deal with Hei tribe father and daughter
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Hei Cheng, you, you are actually threatening me! Rub me the wrong way and I will make sure all your dirty deeds are known by the whole world!!" Xue Song Zi was furious.
Hei Cheng sneered: "Go ahead, do it quickly. Truthfully speaking, Su Xian Er was your Snowy Mountain's pawn, intentionally arranged to get close to me and infiltrate Hei tribe's higher level. The so-called Su Xian's Night Elopement is no more than a conspiracy. Not long later, Su tribe was annihilated, did you think it was my Hei tribe that had a hand in it? Hmph! You guys from Snowy Mountain did it to conclude matters for Su Xian Er, clearing away all the traces!"
"What? This, why haven't I heard of it?" Xue Song Zi showed an incredulous look upon hearing this astonishing piece of news.
"What would you know? You are only the owner of the seventh branch peak. The higher levels of Snowy Mountain always has only had three decision makers. I know you don't believe me, but I have conclusive proof." Hei Cheng took out an east window Gu and threw it to Xue Song Zi.
Xue Song Zi took the east window Gu and cast his consciousness into it, a while later, his forehead was filled with cold sweat.
Hei Cheng gazed at the sky and heaved a long sigh, revealing a bleak look: "Back then, I was publicly recognized as a Gu Immortal seed, but it was because I was ignorant at my young age that I fell into the conspiracy. Su Xian's Night Elopement, hehe, Su Xian's Night Elopement is nothing more than a meticulously planned conspiracy for the demonic and righteous paths to infiltrate each other."
"I married Su Xian Er, we had Lou Lan, I truly thought the days would keep on passing by blissfully. However, one day, a Gu Immortal suddenly appeared before me and threw the conclusive evidence to me. And what you are looking at is only a portion of this evidence."
"How can this be? How can this be?" Xue Song Zi mumbled.
This evidence turned everything upside-down.
Even if Hei Cheng used the yin-yang life extension method to scheme against his own wife, this was actually a matter of enmity between righteous and demonic. Hei Cheng's action of taking down his family when justice demanded it would not create reproach but instead be praised and admired.
"You set me up! You set me up!!" Xue Song Zi pointed at Hei Cheng in extreme fury.
He had thought he was the one holding the initiative by having a handle on Hei Cheng, but he had never expected to be instead entrapped by Hei Cheng.
Xue Song Zi naively followed Hei Cheng to hunt Hei Lou Lan and battle Fairy Li Shan, causing his current worrying plight. Hei Lou Lan, Fairy Li Shan as well as central continent's ancient sect force became a shadow that refused to leave Xue Song Zi's mind.
Hei Cheng restrained his feelings and looked at Xue Song Zi: "And now, I have a new piece of evidence. Do you remember when Hei Lou Lan was transcending the tribulation, how did she address Fairy Li Shan? Fairy Li Shan and Su Xian Er are likely to have a blood relation. I have Su Xian Er's blood with me and also Hei Lou Lan's blood, I will have additional conclusive proof when we confront Snowy Mountain in the future."
Xue Song Zi breathed roughly before he was able to forcibly calm down: "Good, Hei Cheng, you are truly outstanding. I had not even extorted you of a few dozens of immortal essence stones but was pulled into this messy business by you, being plunged into your trap. Right, I must acknowledge that even if you take actions against Hei Lou Lan, making every attempt to capture her, it could just be brushed off as a father educating his daughter who hopes she would be aware of her mistakes. As long as you don't use the yin-yang life extension method on Hei Lou Lan, I won't have any real handle on you! But, your scheme can only stop here, you are a lone force while the other has joined hands with a central continent influence. Hehe, Hei Lou Lan has already become a strength path extreme physique immortal, it is now even more difficult for you to capture her."
Hei Cheng sank into silence.
Xue Song Zi continued explaining, his thoughts becoming keener: "My situation is worrisome but your days also won't pass by well. You harmed Su Xian Er, Hei Lou Lan's hatred runs extremely deeply, and who is to say central continent's force also won't look to trouble you!"
"Thus, you two are tied together, and you only have a hope of victory if you cooperate with my side." A female voice suddenly interrupted Xue Song Zi and Hei Cheng's conversation.
"Who is this?!" Xue Song Zi was truly startled.
A graceful figure slowly appeared. This was a female Gu Immortal who was wearing purple garments; she was charming and lovely, and her beautiful face showed a light smile.
Xue Song Zi was not someone with poor knowledge and after being dazed for a moment, he reacted: "So it is Fairy Jiang Yu."
He then looked towards Hei Cheng.
All of northern plains' Gu Immortals knew that Fairy Jiang Yu was Hei Cheng's twenty seventh concubine who was similarly a dark path Gu Immortal, and possessed dark limit Immortal Gu, which could conceal inspirations and make it difficult for others to make deductions.
The reason why Hei Lou Lan was able to hold on for so long, and not explode because of the Great Strength True Martial Physique, was because Fairy Jiang Yu had used dark limit Immortal Gu to seal the aura of one of the ten extreme physiques on Hei Lou Lan, preventing its induction within heaven and earth.
However, who would have thought that upon seeing Fairy Jiang Yu, Hei Cheng's attitude would turn extremely cold, he snorted: "As expected, you came."
"Many years ago, when I first brought evidence regarding Su Xian's Night Elopement to you, I had said — I will appear when you need me." Fairy Jiang Yu revealed a mysterious smile, "So what do you think? Like I said before, you won't be able to capture Hei Lou Lan by just yourself, you will instead only create a bigger commotion. You can only cooperate with my side to have hope."
Xue Song Zi looked at Hei Cheng then at Jiang Yu, his gaze traveling back and forth between them.
He was shocked at how Hei Cheng and Jiang Yu were conversing. Fairy Jiang Yu's identity was not ordinary, and seemed to be a representative of a mysterious force. The reason Hei Cheng could know of the deceit that was Su Xian's Night Elopement was because of Fairy Jiang Yu's notice.
Hei Cheng lowered his eyes. Fairy Jiang Yu was able to appear so close to him without being discovered, this caused Hei Cheng's apprehension of Jiang Yu to deepen by a layer.
Fairy Jiang Yu was on the surface a lone cultivator of northern plains, and Hei Cheng's beloved concubine, but in truth was shrouded in a fog of mystery.
Hei Cheng fell into deep thought.
He was not at all afraid of Fang Yuan's myriad self army and actually had some disdain towards it inwardly. Despite not having methods to confront it head-on, Gu Immortal combat paid attention to contests in every aspect. Just based on how the myriad self army was not able to chase down Hei Cheng, its threat had heavily decreased to him.
In the previous battle, if not for Hei Lou Lan's side taking the initiative to retreat, Hei Cheng would have no doubt occupied the upper hand when the strength path phantoms dissipated and could even turn around the situation to a victorious one.
Even Xue Song Zi who had been fleeing in disarray from the myriad self was not worried about fighting Fang Yuan again.
The reason was that myriad self was an immortal killer move, Fang Yuan's immortal essence expenditure was too high, and in spite of this it did not have true killing power. Xue Song Zi could just activate mortal killer moves to resist it. After this was repeated a few times, how much more immortal essence could Fang Yuan, as an immortal zombie, still have? Once his immortal essence was expended, Xue Song Zi could display his might and settle affairs with Fang Yuan.
Hei Cheng's apprehension was towards Fang Yuan's background, to Immortal Crane Sect, and central continent's Gu Immortals.
He also had not expected that his investigation of Fixed Immortal Travel would involve such a colossus. Dong Fang Chang Fan had already deduced that the collapse of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was due to the workings of central continent's Gu Immortals.
Central continent's Gu Immortals could destroy even Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's arrangements. Let alone with the insignificant Hei Cheng?
Like Hei Cheng, Xue Song Zi also had similar worries.
They were both scared by Fang Yuan's 'background', if they knew Immortal Crane Sect was thinking of every possible means to deal with Fang Yuan, they absolutely would not be this nervous.
"Looking at the present situation, it seems we can only have the chance of success by collaborating with your side. But before cooperating, as a fundamental part of good faith, shouldn't you tell me which force you are representing?" Hei Cheng asked Fairy Jiang Yu after pondering for a while.
Fairy Jiang Yu thought for a moment, she knew Hei Cheng was an uncompromising person; if she lied or refused, he would probably just turn around and abruptly leave.
She decided to tell the truth: "Well, there is no harm in telling you. The force I represent is spread throughout the five regions and its name is Shadow Sect."
Hei Cheng and Xue Song Zi glanced at each other.
Central continent, Hu Immortal blessed land.
"Twenty-eight green grape immortal essence and half an immortal essence stone." Fang Yuan calculated the wealth he had remaining.
After going through the battle during Hei Lou Lan's tribulation, Fang Yuan's hard earned and accumulated funds immediately returned to their original state.
Before the battle, Fang Yuan had ninety-one beads of green grape immortal essence, but he had activated the killer move myriad self close to fifty times, to form an army of nearly five hundred thousand strength path phantoms.
During the battle, Fang Yuan repeatedly used delight in water and mountain Immortal Gu, Worldly Wave Trace and other Immortal Gu, consuming over a dozen beads of green grape immortal essence.
Thus, the remaining green grape immortal essence did not even total thirty beads.
"I still owe Fairy Li Shan fifteen immortal essence stones and fifteen immortal essence stones to Lang Ya land spirit as well. I can delay the payment to Fairy Li Shan as long as necessary. But I need to return the immortal essence stones I owe to Lang Ya land spirit as soon as possible; if it is delayed, the interest will only get higher."
Fang Yuan's relationship with Lang Ya land spirit was still only ordinary.
When Lang Ya land spirit lent immortal essence stones to Fang Yuan, although he did not demand an exorbitant price, but he still, as per convention, took a ten percent interest.
That is to say, Fang Yuan would have to return at least sixteen and a half immortal essence stones to Lang Ya land spirit. If a month passed, another one and half immortal essence stone would have to be added.
Two months was three immortal essence stones and so on.
Even if a month did not pass, he would still have to pay one and half immortal essence stones, this was the minimum interest.
How could outsiders lend money for no reason and without any benefits?
The alliance between Fang Yuan, Fairy Li Shan and the others had an agreement. When one side helps other, the price they paid would be doubly compensated.
This agreement had been implemented in Fang Yuan's first battle with Hei Cheng.
However, this time, Fang Yuan did not just pay a price, he also obtained enormous benefits.
His strength path realm advanced to grandmaster level, he raised transformation path from practically nothing to master level, while his flying attainment advanced to quasi-grandmaster level.
Adding in small family qi Gu and the fifteen immortal essence stones exempted from the debt, these benefits had far surpassed the price Fang Yuan had paid, thus Fairy Li Shan did not compensate.
"Thinking back now, Hei Lou Lan might have intentionally set this situation up, attempting to use the Demon Venerable's realm's true meaning to make me work myself to the bone." Now that Fang Yuan recalled the situation, he felt he had fallen in Hei Lou Lan's scheme.
If not for the Demon Venerable's true meaning, Fang Yuan absolutely would not have spent so much green grape immortal essence and formed such a large strength path phantom army. If the situation was not good, Fang Yuan could have even retreated. After all, the alliance agreement had no clause that said one had to fight till death.
The Snowy Mountain Alliance was quite lenient.
Fang Yuan had vaguely felt this during the battle. But this was an upright plot, even if Fang Yuan discovered Hei Lou Lan's attempt, he would have still dived right in, because the benefits were just that great!

Chapter 693: Fighting is just a part of cultivating
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the underground cave, the air was filled with the rainbow colored light of wisdom.
A small mushroom forest was growing here. Wisdom Gu was sprawled atop the mushroom king at the center of the forest, not moving.
Fang Yuan sat close by, using the light of wisdom to make his deductions.
Afterwards, he let out a breath of foggy air: "The second Immortal Gu recipe has been completed."
He looked at his green grape immortal essence, he did not have much originally, only twenty or so of them. After deducing two eighty percent remnant recipes, he had eleven left.
"The third Immortal Gu remnant recipe is eighty-six percent complete, eleven green grape immortal essence beads should be enough."
Fang Yuan looked at the delight in water and mountain Immortal Gu, it was glistening brightly and had no issues.
Many days had passed since Hei Lou Lan's tribulation. Because it was used intensely in battle, cleanse soul Immortal Gu was hungry already, while delight in water and mountain Immortal Gu had been activated many times, but its condition was still good, it was not hungry.
Fang Yuan felt baffled at first, but after he asked Mo Yao's will, who was in his immortal aperture, he understood why.
It turned out Mo Yao's fake will needed to be replenished constantly.
Mo Yao did not have a Gu to produce fake will, she used many Gu worms to convert the joyful will into fake will.
Thus, when she fed Gu worms, the one she paid most attention to was the delight in water and mountain Immortal Gu. Delight in water and mountain Immortal Gu was fed till it was completely full by Mo Yao's will, she did not feed it only when it was hungry. Thus, even though Fang Yuan was using it extensively, there was still some time until he needed to feed the delight in water and mountain Immortal Gu.
This was evidently a good thing.
After all, activating a hungry Immortal Gu forcefully could cause it to die.
Cleanse soul Immortal Gu was already hungry, thus, it was much more risky for Fang Yuan to use the killer move myriad self. Perhaps the next time he used this immortal killer move, cleanse soul Immortal Gu would be destroyed in the process.
Deducing Immortal Gu recipes was Fang Yuan's most important source of income now. If delight in water and mountain Immortal Gu could not be used, Fang Yuan would fall into a difficult situation again.
Fang Yuan activated delight in water and mountain Immortal Gu again, he started deducing the third Immortal Gu remnant recipe.
This time, he had obtained the Demon Venerable true meaning infusion, it was quite a bit of help to deducing Immortal Gu remnant recipes.
That was because the true meaning infusion was the same as taking in Reckless Savage Demon Venerable's understanding towards cultivation, it directly increased Fang Yuan's foundation, it could raise his realm of cultivation.
As for the deduction of Gu recipes, it one's own foundation as the basis, the stronger their foundations, the higher the efficiency of the deduction.
Even though refinement path attainment level was the most important, because there were many elements to consider, strength path and transformation path would be involved as well in these thought processes.
Two days later, Fang Yuan completed his deduction, he obtained three complete Immortal Gu recipes.
He brought these Immortal Gu recipes over to Lang Ya blessed land and completed the transaction with Lang Ya land spirit.
Not only did he clear his debt and account for the expenditure of his green grape immortal essence, he still earned eleven immortal essence stones as profit.
Everything was back on track now.
Eight days later, Fang Yuan handed another three completed Immortal Gu recipes to Lang Ya land spirit and completed the fifth deal.
At this point, he had thirty-six immortal essence stones and twenty-seven green grape immortal essence beads.
Fang Yuan slightly relaxed after that.
Because of the battle with Hei Cheng, he almost went into the red and his finances threatened to collapse.
According to the economic term on Earth, he had almost caused the situation of a cash flow shortfall.
"Although the immortal killer move, myriad self, has great strength, I need to consume a bead of green grape immortal essence every time I use it. If I use it many times, the expenditure would be huge. I need to be careful when I use it in the future, otherwise, it will just drain my finances and cause me to lose out, even if I win the fight."
Fang Yuan inwardly alerted himself in his mind.
When Gu Immortals cultivate, they had to consider many aspects, not just victory in battle.
Like the example of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu on Earth. Liu Bang could not defeat Xiang Yu, he lost in battles while Xiang Yu won in battles. But Liu Bang was adept in managing the economy and had strong backing. Even though he lost each fight, he had the capital to rise up once again, thus he was able to fight even after losing.
Xiang Yu however, although he won his fights, he had no businesses, as time passed, and they fought even more, the difference between Liu Bang and him became smaller. Eventually, Liu Bang won one battle and that turned into complete victory.
As for the cultivation of Gu Immortals, it was the same logic.
Battles were just a part of cultivation.
The victory and loss of battles was not too important, the important thing was the benefits behind them.
One had to look forward for everything, they could not be shortsighted.
Even though Fang Yuan could cause Hei Cheng and Xue Song Zi to suffer greatly, he had invested too much green grape immortal essence, in contrast, Hei Cheng and Xue Song Zi spent much less immortal essence compared to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan also went bankrupt after this fight, but Hei Cheng and Xue Song Zi were in good condition. If Fang Yuan had to fight them again now, Fang Yuan's battle strength would definitely be lower compared to them. If they fought for several more times, the winner would be obvious.
Hei Cheng had the rank six Immortal Gu House Dark Prison, could he not go all out with it? Of course he could, but the situation did not call for it.
Those who could become Gu Immortals were not rash boors that were hot blooded, they would calculate their gains and losses after every battle.
Of course, if not for the Demon Venerable true meaning infusion, Fang Yuan would not have expended this much green grape immortal essence.
"If I use up my green grape immortal essence, I can still replace it with immortal essence stones. But the Demon Venerable true meaning is an extremely rare opportunity. If I cultivate slow and steadily, I would need at least decades to reach this stage." Fang Yuan was very aware in his heart.
After Fang Yuan completed another two Immortal Gu remnant recipes, Tai Bai Yun Sheng finally returned from Snowy Mountain.
"You did not see the environment of the super grade blessed land, sigh, I saw it with my own eyes. Having over 6700km2 of land, the blessed land's time flow is thirty-eight times that of the outside world! There is much vitality and great potential in it, I could not help but feel jealous towards it. In my opinion, the biggest winner after the battle of this tribulation is Hei Lou Lan!" Tai Bai Yun Sheng returned and started talking incessantly, while sighing endlessly.
After Hei Lou Lan's tribulation, she asked for Tai Bai Yun Sheng to repair the super grade blessed land. Thus, Tai Bai Yun Sheng was lucky enough to enter Lou Lan blessed land, it could be said to be a truly eye-opening experience.
"A super grade blessed land is precisely like that, after all one of the ten extreme physiques becoming an immortal is like skating on thin ice, it is a fight for survival in a deadly situation. Compared to this, I am more worried about how many Immortal Gu Hei Lou Lan managed to refine during the third step of this immortal ascension." Fang Yuan asked.
"Her immortal aperture was created using the flying bear strength Immortal Gu, this strength path Immortal Gu was given to her by Giant Sun's will. Flying bear strength Gu is now her vital Gu, but she also elevated her original core Gu, self strength Gu, to rank six. Other than these two, she also obtained a rank six strength qi Gu." Tai Bai Yun Sheng replied.
When Tai Bai Yun Sheng ascended to an immortal, the remaining heaven and earth qi created his two Immortal Gu, Man as Before and Landscape as Before.
Whether Hei Lou Lan's remaining heaven and earth qi had been more than Tai Bai Yun Sheng's, nobody knew. But what Fang Yuan did know was that she had quite a number of small family qi Gu, these Gu had stored up some amount of heaven and earth qi.
Fang Yuan analyzed what Hei Lou Lan had: "In this case, Hei Lou Lan is confirmed to have four Immortal Gu. They are flying bear strength Gu, self strength Gu, strength qi Gu, and slavery Immortal Gu. Divert disaster Gu had been destroyed during the tribulation. But don't forget, she had once destroyed the flying bear phantom and obtained flying bear phantom Gu after suppressing it. After that, I lost my connection with the flying bear phantom Immortal Gu. I am not sure if this Gu was taken away by the formless hands or if it is still with her now!"
Hei Lou Lan's strength grew extremely quickly, she had at least four Immortal Gu and was a Gu Immortal herself now, her future was immensely bright.
Furthermore, she had a close relationship with Fairy Li Shan, after getting her help, she skipped the initial stage of being a newly advanced Gu Immortal. Fairy Li Shan did not lack immortal essence stones, with a huge amount of investment, Lou Lan blessed land would develop quickly.
"Hei Lou Lan who has a super grade blessed land will undoubtedly greatly exceed me in cultivation speed. I have a high grade blessed land, compared to other Gu Immortals, it is also a great advantage, but Hei Lou Lan is like someone who has grown wings and is soaring. Even though we formed an alliance with her, the alliance will eventually end. After the time limit, we will need to be careful, Fairy Li Shan has a huge network while Hei Lou Lan is a formidable person." Tai Bai Yun Sheng's tone was worried.
The rapid growth of the genius, Hei Lou Lan, had brought great mental pressure to an elderly man like Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
But it was worse for Fang Yuan.
His cultivation was stagnant, as long as he was still an immortal zombie, his cultivation level would not progress.
"As long as Hei Cheng is not dead, and Ma Hong Yun's matter isn't resolved, we will have the basis to cooperate with Hei Lou Lan. You have to be very careful when you go to eastern sea this time. Shark Demon is not easy to deal with, if you need reinforcements, use the moving perspective cup Gu to contact me." Fang Yuan reminded Tai Bai Yun Sheng to be cautious.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng rested in Hu Immortal Blessed Land for two days before setting off to eastern sea.
He was afflicted by the death sentence awaits Immortal Gu, and had promised an immortal zombie of eastern sea, Shark Demon, to explore Yu Lu blessed land, he had no choice but to set off.
Fang Yuan stayed in Hu Immortal blessed land, he deduced Gu recipes to earn immortal essence stones, while also placing priority on settling the important matter of feeding Immortal Gu.
After he completed the sixth deal, he had more than sixty immortal essence stones.
His Woman's Heart and Connect Luck were showing signs of weakness, they were evidently famished. Together with cleanse soul Immortal Gu, he had a total of three Immortal Gu to feed.
Cleanse soul Immortal Gu needed ten thousand white lotus giant silkworm Gu as food. Connect luck Immortal Gu needed five thousand kilograms of sand from the ancient desolate beast, worldly sand gull's, resting area. Poison path Immortal Gu Woman's Heart needed the hearts of women as food.
He had no idea how to get the first two, Fang Yuan decided to settle the easiest one first.
Western Desert.
Sand dunes were continually connected together, forming a huge and wide area of land.
The sun was high in the sky, the air was dry and hot, it felt like a person could be cooked in this weather.
A large sized caravan was moving forward.
The camel bells ringed, and the sounds of the vehicles could be heard constantly.
The accompanying Gu Masters used all types of Gu worms, some to reduce the temperature, some to summon winds, some to create fresh water, and some to navigate.
"Who is this?" The caravan leader shouted. There was a gruesome monster in front of the caravan.
This monster was six meters tall, it had bulging muscles and a large body. It had eight arms, a green face and sharp fangs, with eyes red as blood. With one look, people felt their hearts tighten as they felt a formless pressure.
The caravan went into a commotion.
"Two rank five, seventeen rank four, forty over rank three… This is quite a number." A hoarse voice could be heard from the monster's mouth.
"Sir, who might you be? I am Mo clan's caravan leader, Mo Yan." One of the rank five Gu Masters in the caravan cupped his fists and asked nervously.
Fang Yuan laughed ruthlessly, his eight monstrous claws opened instantly, the name of the super influence, Mo clan, could not deter him.
He was like the incarnation of a demonic god, he rushed into the caravan and whipped up a storm of blood and flesh.
Howling, screaming, crying, begging, all these noises tangled together, after a while, they went silent.

Chapter 694: A gentle gaze
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After around ten minutes, the slaughter finally ended.
One's nose would be assailed by the thick smell of blood, the yellow sand was filled with corpses.
Fang Yuan stood at the center of the corpses, he summoned woman's heart Immortal Gu.
The Immortal Gu slowly rose up, floating into the air and emitting a reddish purple light. The light filled the entire battlefield, in a few breaths of time, all the female corpses in the entire battlefield started to tremble.
The vibrations of the corpses became more intense, as finally, with a loud pop, hearts burst out of the bodies and rose up slightly, flying towards Woman's Heart which was in the air.
Before they even got close, these bloody hearts were swallowed by the reddish purple light in the air, turning into inky purple light lumps.
The light lumps were like young swallows returning to their nest, they entered Woman's Heart.
Poison path Immortal Gu Woman's Heart slightly trembled, it let out a sharp screech, as if it sounded overjoyed from being fed.
A moment later, all of the women's hearts in the battlefield had been fed to Woman's Heart as food.
Fang Yuan called back Woman's Heart.
This Immortal Gu's hunger had been alleviated by quite a bit, but it was not full yet.
Fang Yuan frowned slightly: "At this rate, to feed the woman's heart Immortal Gu until it is full, I will need four thousand more women's hearts. This caravan that I slaughtered already had significant strength, such a large sized caravan is uncommon in western desert."
Fang Yuan thought about it for a while before flying into the sky.
In the air, he stretched out his palm, pushing it towards the ground.
Immediately, thousands of fireballs appeared, slamming into the battlefield. Explosions occurred as rocks and sand were sent flying, corpses were burnt as the place turned into a sea of fire.
This was not a killer move, it was simply the power of quantity, he had used numerous similar fire path mortal Gu.
Fang Yuan threw several black oil dragons.
The oil dragons flew into the sea of fire, raising its intensity and razing the battlefield to the ground, all the traces left behind were gone.
After doing this, Fang Yuan flapped his light illusion bat wings and flew away at a rapid speed.
He traveled north-east, past several large sized oases, before finding his target — a small sized oasis.
Looking down from a high altitude, the oasis was like a jewel, encased in the golden desert.
There was a lake in the oasis, its water was clear and blue, with trees growing around it. There were many people living in this place, the marketplace were lively and it was a scene of prosperity and peace.
Fang Yuan did not conceal his movements, he appeared above the cloudless sky, it was very eye-catching.
A group of Gu Masters riding sand gulls flew up from the oasis.
"What monster is this?"
"It seems like a zombie!"
These Gu Masters were mostly young people, they looked at Fang Yuan's monstrous appearance and couldn't help but mutter apprehensively.
They were almost all rank two, only the leader was a rank three Gu Master.
This group of people flew towards Fang Yuan, they stopped about three hundred steps away from him.
The leader was very vigilant, he cupped his fists: "This is Zhou Xi oasis, controlled by us, Lan clan. The sky above the oasis is a no-fly zone, I hope sir can land on the ground! If you wish to enter the oasis, we have Gu Masters in charge of attending to visiting Gu Masters from outside. Sir just needs to follow the procedures, as long as you meet the requirements, you will be allowed to enter the oasis."
Fang Yuan continued to stare at the oasis, using his investigative Gu to check the area.
He was trying to find out if there were any Gu Immortals hiding in this oasis, because only Gu Immortals could pose a threat to him.
According to normal circumstances, such a small oasis would not be a strong force, there should not be Gu Immortals here. If there were, they would have expanded or modified this oasis already.
After the leader said that, he saw that Fang Yuan was unmoved, he frowned as he said coldly: "Did sir hear me? The sky above the oasis is a no-fly zone, this is general knowledge in western desert. Sir flying above Lan clan can be regarded as a provocation! I hope sir lands now, otherwise, don't blame us for…"
Bam.
Before the leader finished his words, Fang Yuan flicked a finger and sent a rank five level attack at him.
The rank three leader could not react, he was blown to bits, his corpse scattered everywhere.
"Huh?!"
"Lord elder!"
The other rank two Gu Masters screamed shrilly after a moment of shock.
At this moment, unparalleled fear filled their hearts. The high and mighty lord elder did not even have a chance to react before he was killed in one hit.
This attack was too sudden, the rank two Gu Masters could not even clearly see what actually killed their leader.
"Lord elder is dead, he was killed in an instant!"
"Quickly retreat, this person is not someone we can deal with!"
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The rank two Gu Masters screamed, they scattered in the air, flying towards the oasis.
Fang Yuan snorted coldly, he waved his hands.
Bam bam bam…
With consecutive explosions, these rank two Gu Masters were turned into pieces of flesh without exception. Even the sand gulls that they were sitting on were not spared.
A loud siren rang in the oasis.
Everything that had happened in the air was seen by the patrolling Gu Masters.
Fang Yuan looked down from above imposingly, seeing the mortals panicking and running away, the flourishing market had gone into chaos. Large numbers of mortal Gu Masters came out from the buildings, they faced up towards the sky, looking at Fang Yuan with deep animosity.
"Mortals are truly like insects." Fang Yuan let out a deep breath, he then summoned the hair armor and flapped his light illusion bat wings, flying like a meteor towards the oasis.
"He's here! Attack him!"
"Be careful, the other party is very strong, he is at least a rank four Gu Master! He is very likely to be rank five!"
"So what if he is strong? He is just one person, attack him!"
The Lan clan Gu Masters in the oasis screamed furiously, they unleashed a flurry of colorful attacks.
But Fang Yuan's charge was not slowed, he easily broke through these obstructions and crashed into the clan head pavilion at the center of the oasis.
Bam!
The loud crash could deafen one's ears, the huge impact caused the ground to shake. The clan head pavilion had defensive Gu worms protecting it, but they were useless, the place collapsed in an instant. Rocks flew and tiles burst, air currents pushed out and carried the dust clouds with them.
As the dust and smoke settled, Fang Yuan's huge body and eight monstrous arms were displayed before the Lan clan Gu Masters.
"He, he did not die!"
"Damn it, the clan head pavilion was destroyed by him! The ancestors' tablets are all inside!"
"Kill, kill this demon!"
Everyone's emotions were stimulated, they surrounded Fang Yuan.
"All of you shut up!" Suddenly, an elderly man shouted, walking out from the crowd.
"Lord clan elder!" The surrounding people paid respects to this old man.
The old clan leader was very shocked, he deeply understood the defensive power of the clan head pavilion. It was the central and most important place in the clan, it had great defenses, even if ten people of the elderly clan leader's strength attacked it, they might not break through.
But simply one blow from Fang Yuan destroyed the entire clan head pavilion.
Just one hit!
What did this mean?!
The elderly clan leader controlled his fear, he bowed deeply towards Fang Yuan: "Our Lan clan has been neutral for many generations, we have not meddled with the outside world. I am not sure if we have offended sir, but we will definitely compensate you until you are satisfied."
The moment he said that, he immediately attracted the fierce rebuttal of the Gu Masters.
"Lord clan leader, what are you saying?"
"This monster who is neither a human nor a ghost destroyed our clan head pavilion, even elder Lan Duan died in his hands."
"Clan leader, our Lan clan has no cowards, the other party is already so overbearing, we have to slaughter him into pieces to quench the hatred in our hearts!"
"Hehehe…" Fang Yuan laughed coldly, his voice was hoarse, everyone frowned when they heard his voice: "There is actually someone who understands how to react to the situation here, hmm, that's right, this small oasis is squeezed between many large forces. If you did not know your place, you would not be able to stay as the clan leader. Then listen to me, I want you to collect six thousand hearts within the next ten minutes. Remember, these hearts have to be intact and they need to be women's hearts, the hearts of men and young girls have no use."
"What?!"
"He… he actually wants six thousand women's hearts?"
"This is a demon, he is a lawless demon! He actually wants our clan to be his lapdog, to collect hearts for him!"
The Gu Masters were in an uproar.
The elderly clan leader's expression was also uncertain. Six thousand women's hearts was a huge number, there were many mortal villages around this oasis, but the number of mortals was certainly not enough. That means, to reach six thousand, he would need to sacrifice the clansmen in Lan clan.
Thus, the old clan leader's position would certainly be taken away. Nobody would allow such a person to be their leader.
"Isn't sir's request too overbearing. Sigh, heaven cares for all living beings, in broad daylight, how can anyone commit such heinous acts? I'm afraid Lan clan cannot help you." The old clan leader sighed as he showed a merciful expression.
"Heh, then there's no other way. Even though this is more troublesome, it will do." Fang Yuan laughed ruthlessly, his killing intent surged.
Light illusion bat wings flickered on his back, and a moment later, he appeared in front of the old clan leader.
The zombie claws stretched out like lightning, grabbing the old clan leader's neck, lifting him up easily.
"So, so fast!" The old clan leader's expression was pale, there was no trace of blood on his face. He was completely shocked, how could he be captured by the other party in an instant?!
Could it be that, he is not a mortal, but a Gu Immortal?
A horrifying thought appeared in the old clan leader's heart, he shouted anxiously: "Ev… everything can be discussed… please have mercy… ple… argh."
Crack, the old clan leader's neck was smashed into powder by Fang Yuan.
The old clan leader's head hung to one side, he stared with his eyes wide opened, he died without solace.
It was not that he did not want to use his Gu worms to retaliate, but Fang Yuan had many mortal Gu in his immortal aperture that could seal and suppress Gu worms.
"He, he killed the clan leader!"
"No—! Lord clan leader! You cannot die!"
"Revenge for lord clan leader!"
The Gu Masters reacted and shouted angrily, like a rushing tide, they charged towards Fang Yuan, using all sorts of attacks, unleashing a beautiful display of fireworks.
Fang Yuan did not dodge, he stood on the spot, allowing the attacks to hit his body without moving at all.
Everyone's attacks lasted for a hundred breaths before stopping.
Gu Masters had limited primeval essence, with such an intense wave of attacks, they could not keep it up for very long.
"Is he dead?"
"He was definitely beaten to a pulp already."
"Sigh, our poor old clan leader, we did not even manage to retrieve his corpse…"
But when the smoke dispersed, the Gu Masters eyes were opened wide, they saw that Fang Yuan was still standing at the same spot arrogantly.
Even though the surroundings were a mess, his black armor was still extremely new looking, even the broken spikes were regenerating rapidly.
A few breaths of time later, Fang Yuan's hair armor regenerated completely, there were not even any marks on it.
Hair armor was a mortal killer move, it was made of several hundred Gu worms, and dozens of rank five Gu worms. It was also used on the foundation of the immortal zombie body, the defense was not something these Gu Masters could break.
Among the people attacking Fang Yuan, the one and only rank four Gu Master, the elderly clan leader, had died. There were less than ten rank three Gu Masters remaining, the rest were rank two and one.
Their attacks were very scattered, many of the attacks had canceled each other out, it simply could pose no threat to Fang Yuan.
"This is your attack? It can't even scratch me." Fang Yuan chuckled, his laughter was not loud, but it was very clear in everyone's ears.
An intense chill rose up in the hearts of the Gu Masters and spread rapidly.
Even though the weather was so hot, they felt like they were in an icy pit!
"You, what are you?" Everyone trembled, their hearts were filled with terror.
"Monster, this is a monster!" Someone screamed, he had lost his mind.
"Run, quickly run!!" Their morale had sank to rock bottom, one person running away initiated the collapse of the entire group.
Fang Yuan was not surprised, the clan leader was dead, they had nothing to rely on. At the same time, he purposely took the attacks head on, it was to destroy the morale of these mortals.
Swoosh.
Fang Yuan smiled sinisterly, he chased up to a female Gu Master.
The female Gu Master's body froze, she stared at the monstrous claw piercing through her back and out of her chest, as the monstrous claw pulled out, her heart was taken away.
"Elder Lan Xin is dead too, run!" The surrounding Gu Masters saw this and were shocked out of their minds, they ran away even more quickly.
Fang Yuan waved a hand and large numbers of fireballs spewed out, buildings collapsed and fires were blazing. With another wave of a hand, wind blades were dancing in the air, slaughtering everything in their path, leaving behind large numbers of minced corpses.
"No, please, I'm begging you, don't kill me." This was an ordinary mortal woman with a delicate face and a beautiful figure, she had preserved her own body well, she should be a wife or concubine of a Gu Master.
Bam.
Fang Yuan flicked his finger, and the mortal woman's head exploded like a watermelon, her headless corpse collapsed on the ground.
Fang Yuan walked past this corpse, as the palm of his downwards hanging hand opened, the woman's heart burst out of the body and flew out, grabbed by Fang Yuan.
Woman's Heart let out a joyful scream, it stopped on Fang Yuan's shoulder, glowing in a reddish purple light.
Be it the heart in Fang Yuan's hand or the surrounding corpses, as long as they met the conditions, the purple light would swallow them and they would be absorbed by Woman's Heart.
Fang Yuan walked briskly, wherever he went, a slaughter occurred. It was a path filled with anguished wails, rivers of blood flowed.
Cleanse soul Immortal Gu was famished, it was too risky to use myriad self, and too much of a waste of immortal essence.
Icy drill stardust could not be used, because the starlight lump exploded continuously, it would mince the mortal corpses completely, even the hearts would not be spared.
Fang Yuan was only using mortal Gu, he did not use any killer moves, it was simply a huge quantity of Gu worms.
But even so, the efficiency of killing was not low.
Western desert was different from the other four regions, Fang Yuan chose this place purposefully. This was a huge desert, and the oases were like islands, even if a mortal escapes out of the oasis, they would not get far. Western desert was a place with unhindered vision, the desert stretched to the horizon, it was easy for Fang Yuan to chase them down.
"This time, I will let you eat till you are full, little one." Fang Yuan walked in the pool of blood, looking at the woman's heart Immortal Gu on his shoulder, his gaze was extremely gentle.

Chapter 695: Dead Sand Gull Egg
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The light of the setting sun shone on Zhou Xi oasis.
The lively atmosphere in normal times was replaced by thick smoke and fire today.
There was nothing left of the former serenity, buildings had collapsed, turning into piles of ruins. In these ruins, on the streets, at the side of the lake, under the trees, pools of blood were connected and corpses lined the ground.
Fang Yuan went back to the clan head pavilion, standing on a pile of broken concrete, he placed the poison path Immortal Gu Woman's Heart back into his immortal aperture.
After killing for a long time, he had finally fed Woman's Heart until it was full.
Woman's Heart combined refinement and nurturing, if he fed it any further, Woman's Heart would enter the refinement stage, the more women's hearts it ate, the stronger the poison.
But Fang Yuan had no intentions of refining the Gu at this point.
With his strength, slaying mortals was like slaughtering animals, but with so many mortals, he still spent half the day on this.
Furthermore, Woman's Heart was a consumable Immortal Gu. No matter how strong it was, it would be gone after one use. The prospects of investing in it were not great, unless Fang Yuan had the Immortal Gu recipe of Woman's Heart.
Standing on the rubble of the clan head pavilion, Fang Yuan activated several hundred Gu worms in his immortal aperture, undergoing a thorough search of the area.
After two breaths of time, Fang Yuan finally found an underground entrance.
He walked towards the entrance, his huge feet treaded and destroyed the ground under him, exposing the entrance.
This entrance could allow a normal person to enter, but it was too small for Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan used force to take apart this entrance, after several hundred steps, the space finally widened enough for Fang Yuan to walk while bending his waist.
A large stone door appeared in front of Fang Yuan.
On top of the door, there were words carved: "Important area of the clan treasury, people not specifically assigned are forbidden from entering."
Fang Yuan snorted, he destroyed the stone door and hundreds of golden light blades attacked Fang Yuan. A loud alarm rang, this was evidently the method of Lan clan in defending against thieves. But it was a pity that not even a single spike on Fang Yuan's hair armor was destroyed.
Fang Yuan entered the stone door, seeing a pile of primeval stones. Fang Yuan roughly estimated that there were at least a hundred thousand in total.
If Fang Yuan was still a mortal, these primeval stones would be a huge fortune. But now that he was an immortal with unlimited primeval essence, he had almost no need for primeval stones.
But he still kept these primeval stones in his immortal aperture, it was simply a move done in passing.
Soon, he broke through a second stone door, and entered.
He saw a huge amount of Gu refinement materials, they were classified and placed here, these were all ordinary materials. Although Fang Yuan also needed them, these materials were not in high quantity, when Fang Yuan truly wanted to refine something, he would need a vast amount of materials, he would still need to purchase in bulk from Gu Immortals.
But this was better than nothing, Fang Yuan would not leave empty handed, he sent it all into his immortal aperture.
Next, beyond the third, fourth, and fifth stone door, they all had Gu refinement materials, except that they were of different varieties and had different storage conditions. Fang Yuan took all of these as well.
At the sixth stone door, he found Gu worms.
Large numbers of mortal Gu were stored here. This was Lan clan's Gu worm treasury, the foundation of their entire clan.
Fang Yuan took them all away, with his abundant memories and great experience, he knew all of these Gu worms, they were not necessary for him.
But to mortal Gu Masters, these were all precious Gu worms, including rank four and five Gu worms among them. Getting one could change a person's life, their entire future might turn around.
Like the liquor worm that Fang Yuan obtained on Qing Mao mountain, the bone flesh unity Gu on Bai Gu mountain, and the all-out effort Gu in Shang clan city.
There were three Gu worm treasuries, and five primeval stone treasuries.
Other than that, there were treasuries hidden within treasuries, secret troves that did not escape Fang Yuan's detection.
Some troves were ravaged, there were Gu Master corpses here and traces of fighting. Evidently, when Fang Yuan was slaughtering the mortals, some greedy Gu Masters knew that the clan was finished and barged in here, trying to take whatever resources they could.
They fought here and took the treasures they could find, while a portion of people died from the Gu worms defending the troves.
Fang Yuan walked past these troves, along the main path deep underground.
Along the way, he saw more and more corpses of Gu Master, and there were also sand gull corpses.
These sand gulls were like a combination of seagulls and ostriches, they had large legs with huge muscles, but they also had huge wings and could fly in the sky.
Sand gulls could run rapidly in the desert, while also flying in the sky and carrying people, they only ate grass and drank clean water, they were easy to feed. With a mild temperament, they were the most common steed among western desert Gu Masters.
The only problem was, sand gulls had very low fertility. Three to four out of ten sand gull eggs would usually hatch and grow into healthy sand gulls.
However, this Lan clan raised many sand gulls, much more than other forces of the same level. When Fang Yuan slaughtered the clan, he killed many sand gulls. He estimated that Lan clan might have some secret technique to raise the fertility of the sand gulls.
If so, that would be the only thing in this entire Lan clan that could somewhat interest Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan walked for another few thousand steps, he saw more Gu Master corpses. Finally, at one point, he saw a large number of Gu Master corpses and sand gull corpses.
"It seems that the people who came in here met with the sand gulls' obstruction, they all perished here. They took a risk to enter here, quite evidently, there is a huge benefit attracting them." Fang Yuan analyzed.
Squawk squawk squawk…
After another few hundred steps, Fang Yuan was attacked by a wave of sand gulls.
There were a hundred sand gulls, among them, the sand gull hundred beast king was injured, likely due to the fight with Gu Masters earlier.
But how could this trifling beast group be Fang Yuan's match? In just a few breaths of time, Fang Yuan killed these sand gulls and continued moving forward.
The path was moving downwards, the depth was rather surprising to Fang Yuan.
After getting rid of ten waves of attacks from sand gulls, Fang Yuan walked out of the tunnel, his field of vision widened as he entered a huge underground cave.
This cave was quite big, it was like a square.
There was a huge stone table at the center of the cave. There was a huge egg on the table, it was the size of a house, it had a yellow luster but it was already quite dim.
There was a thick layer of yellow sand around the table.
The sand was extremely soft and slightly warm, it felt like cotton when one stepped on it.
Many eggs were placed on this sand, slightly buried into them. These eggs were of varying sizes, there were even some broken egg shells there.
"These eggs are all sand gull eggs. This is the breeding ground for Lan clan's sand gulls." Fang Yuan walked into the cave.
To protect their home and eggs, a large number of sand gulls rose up and charged towards Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan was unmoved, he waved a hand and a large number of wind blades cut these sand gulls like harvesting crops, with another burst of frost, half of these sand gull were frozen.
There were very few sand gulls that survived, they no longer had their previous numbers, so their aura diminished and they started escaping in fear.
Fang Yuan had no interest in killing them all, the closer he got to the table, the more his gaze was attracted to the huge egg on the table, he showed some joy on his face.
"This egg, is it the egg of a worldly sand gull?"
Fang Yuan stopped atop the stone table and came in front of the huge egg. He touched the shell filled with cracks, there were several small holes on it, as transparent egg white flowed out of the cracks slowly.
The egg white fell onto the stone table, following the crevices on the table as it flowed down onto the yellow sand.
This was an egg of the ancient desolate beast worldly sand gull.
The life inside had perished in the egg. Even the egg white was leaking, this was obviously a dead egg.
Sand gulls had low fertility, worldly sand gulls which were of the same breed had even lower rates. But it was the life essence of an ancient desolate beast after all, even using the egg white so superficially could greatly raise the fertility of these sand gulls.
Fang Yuan did not obtain the fertility method he had been guessing, he actually obtained a dead egg of an ancient desolate bird instead.
This was an pleasant surprise.
"As expected, after using Connect Luck, I encountered something good? After slaughtering a small to mid sized clan, I actually obtained something useful to me." Fang Yuan sighed in his heart.
His connect luck Immortal Gu needed the sand of the resting area of the ancient desolate beast, worldly sand gull, as food.
This sand was known as sand gull soil, it was a special resource formed from ordinary soil due to the worldly sand gull's influence.
Originally, if Fang Yuan wanted to obtain the sand, he would need to buy it from others, or find a worldly sand gull nest and take a huge risk to sneak in and steal the sand gull soil.
But now that he had a dead egg of the worldly sand gull, he could use the life essence in this egg to turn ordinary sand into sand gull soil.
"I need five thousand kilograms of sand gull soil to feed the connect luck Immortal Gu. There is ample life essence in this egg, it should be enough. Even if it is not enough, it will tide me through this tough time. I do not need to feed the connect luck Immortal Gu until it is full, as long as it is not starving, that will do. After all, for the foreseeable future, there are no suitable targets, connect luck Immortal Gu is unusable anyway."
Feeling joyous, Fang Yuan took this dead egg.
After returning to Hu Immortal blessed land, he started his preparations. He was a blood path grandmaster in his previous life, now he had also become a strength path grandmaster, these two paths both involved life and vitality.
He quickly had an idea, using six hundred mortal Gu to create a Gu formation, extracting the life essence of this dead egg, forming a lot of vital energy.
Fang Yuan modified this method with the help of wisdom Gu, condensing the vital energy into a light yellow juice.
Ordinary sand had turned into sand gull soil after a day and a night in this juice.
Three days later, Fang Yuan obtained enough sand gull soil to feed connect luck Immortal Gu till it was full.
Therefore, the cleanse soul Immortal Gu in his hands was the only one he had an issue in feeding.
To feed cleanse soul Immortal Gu, he needed the flesh of ten thousand white lotus giant silkworm Gu, but the white lotus giant silkworm Gu was very rare. A hundred thousand years ago, during the Late Antiquity Era, soul path flourished, and this Gu worm had once been very popular.
Unfortunately, at this point, there were already very few white lotus giant silkworm Gu in treasure yellow heaven.
Fang Yuan used the name of the Eight Arm Immortal to request for this Gu worm and its recipe, but no one had answered him.

Chapter 696: Announcement of Betrayal
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Husband, Huang Er has been like this for three months. What should we do? I don't know how to live if anything happens to her." Fairy Bai Qing looked at Feng Jin Huang who was on the cushion, sobbing in a low voice.
She was a grand Gu Immortal of Spirit Affinity House, she had always been elegant and noble to the outside world. But now that this concerned her beloved daughter, she lost her bearings, she was no longer as calm as usual.
But in front of her, Feng Jin Huang sat on the cushion, in the posture of polishing her aperture.
She wore a phoenix coronet, she had slanted eyes and there was a small red birthmark between her eyebrows. Her appearance combined the gentle beauty of her mother, Fairy Bai Qing, with the valiance of her father, Feng Jiu Ge, she had a dignified disposition, yet also a matchless, fearless beauty.
She had incredible aptitude, her talent was overwhelming, she suppressed everyone of the same age in the ten great ancient sects. If not for Fang Yuan ruining her opportunity, Feng Jin Huang would have become the owner of Hu Immortal blessed land already.
Her skin was fair like snow, her eyes were shut, she breathed slowly like she was asleep.
About three months ago, Feng Jin Huang was meditating as usual, nurturing her aperture. But an accident occurred during this ordinary cultivation session, she fell unconscious ever since and nobody could awaken her using any method.
Ever since they found out about Feng Jin Huang's strange state, Feng Jiu Ge and Bai Qing had been thinking of ways to save their daughter, but there had been no progress.
They asked the supreme elders of Spirit Affinity House, they had tried all sorts of methods, but all of it was useless.
"Husband, do you think our Huang Er will stay asleep forever? Will she ever wake up and see us again?" Fairy Bai Qing thought about this terrible fate and couldn't refrain from welling up with sorrow.
Feng Jiu Ge sighed, he stretched out his arms to hug his beloved wife, consoling her: "Qing Er, don't worry. Didn't first supreme elder say it? Our daughter had discovered the true way to use dream wings Immortal Gu, thus she had reached a hidden region, her entire soul had entered a mystical realm unknown to us. She did not lose her life and is still alive and well. We should believe her, maybe this is a fortuitous encounter for her."
Although Feng Jiu Ge and Bai Qing did not awaken Feng Jin Huang, their attempts were not in vain, they had already found out the reason for Feng Jin Huang's coma was the dream wings Immortal Gu!
Fairy Bai Qing leaned on her husband as she relaxed on his broad and powerful chest, she felt slightly eased as she said: "When Huang Er was three years old, dream wings Immortal Gu came to her on its own, I had been feeling uneasy since then. We have never seen this Immortal Gu before, even after searching through all of Spirit Affinity House's records, there was no information about it. In our tests, the effect of this Gu expended the soul to create beautiful wings. But now it seems, dream wings Immortal Gu's true effect is not this."
Feng Jiu Ge nodded, agreeing: "Your analysis is very reasonable. When Gu Masters nurture, use, and refine Gu, if they are facing an unknown Gu worm, they would make new discoveries when using the Gu, eventually understanding everything about the Gu worm. Even for famous Gu worms, there are always new secrets hidden within them. When Gu Immortals and Gu Masters obtain valuable experience, they would treat it as an important secret to prevent others from learning about their information. When Huang Er awakens, I am sure she will have huge gains, she will learn the true way to use dream wings Immortal Gu. When I go to northern plains this time, our family will have to depend on you. Inform me immediately when Huang Er awakens."
The ten great ancient sects of central continent had plotted for countless years, they put in a lot of time and effort, expending manpower and resources, meticulously planning and making arrangements, before finally having some progress in Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
But in the end, Fang Yuan used his previous life's memories and plucked the fruits of their labor, using these arrangements for himself.
In the end, Imperial Court blessed land was destroyed, and Eighty-Eight True Yang Building collapsed. This piece of information was a huge nightmare to the ten great ancient sects of central continent, who had planned this for a long time.
The leader of this plan — Spirit Affinity House, was pressured by all the different forces, not only from the other nine sects, but also internally within Spirit Affinity House.
"The plot against Eighty-Eight True Yang Building started from the information left behind by Fairy Mo Yao. All these years, our sect has been leading the way and holding the most crucial methods. Now that such a huge change has occurred, not only must we clear the suspicions, we also have to investigate the truth! As the person with the strongest battle strength in our sect, even though I want to stay by my daughter, all of the other elders have agreed that I will go to investigate this." Feng Jiu Ge sighed.
"Husband, you have to be careful during this northern plains journey. If anything goes wrong, make escaping your priority. After all, over there would not be like in central continent, there is no backup to assist you. Don't trust the people from the other nine sects, back then when you challenged the ten great sects in successive battles, you won many and faced zero losses, many people's reputations took a huge hit. All these years, you have been the publicly recognized strongest person in the ten sects, suppressing all of them. If Spirit Affinity House loses you, they might all sigh in relief instead."
"Don't worry, for you and our daughter, I will be careful." Feng Jiu Ge touched Fairy Bai Qing's cheeks as he kissed her lips gently.
When their lips separated, he took out a rank five letter sending green bird Gu.
"This is a letter from Hu Immortal blessed land, that rascal Fang Yuan accepted Huang Er's challenge." Feng Jiu Ge said.
"Him? Ever since Huang Er was born, she had only suffered a loss in this Fang Yuan's hands. After Huang Er returned, she was so indignant and wanted to take revenge, I got you to send him a challenge letter earlier, but he did not reply. To think that he has replied now, what is his motive?" Fairy Bai Qing had a deep impression of Fang Yuan.
Feng Jiu Ge's gaze concentrated: "Ever since Huang Er lost, we had investigated this lad thoroughly. He has quite the backing, there is a mysterious force behind him, he actually dared to snatch Hu Immortal blessed land under the eyes of all ten great ancient sects. But these smart alecks in Immortal Crane Sect acknowledged him as one of their own, leaving us no way to make a move."
"This way, Immortal Crane Sect can exclude the rest of us nine sects and claim Hu Immortal blessed land for themselves. If it had been me, I would have done the same." Fairy Bai Qing said.
"Over a year has passed according to central continent time, even northern plains' True Yang Building has collapsed in this period, the laughable thing is that Immortal Crane Sect has not even succeeded yet, Hu Immortal blessed land is still in that rascal's hands. What a joke." Feng Jiu Ge laughed in disdain.
"We can't say that. During this year, Immortal Crane Sect had first spent a lot of effort to capture the ancient desolate beast, spirit rhino, then many of the Gu Immortals in their sect were involved in the reincarnation battlefield, and now even Great Heavenly Sword Sect which is under their control is trying to gain independence, Immortal Crane Sect has too many things to deal with. Together with our nine sects exerting pressure on them covertly after we learned the truth, obstructing them from attacking Hu Immortal blessed land by force, all of these reasons resulted in Hu Immortal blessed land being yet to fall at this point." Fairy Bai Qing said.
Feng Jiu Ge shook his head: "The force behind Fang Yuan is shrouded in mystery, we do not know much about them yet. Yesterday, Immortal Crane Sect publicly declared that Fang Yuan had turned on them after obtaining Hu Immortal blessed land, he is now a traitor of the sect. It is evident that their soft tactics had no effect. Now it seems like Immortal Crane Sect is going to deal with Hu Immortal blessed land forcefully during this period of time. Hmph, I want to see what force it is, to be able to contest with our ten great sects."
Fairy Bai Qing's gaze flickered, she seemed to have comprehended something: "I understand this Fang Yuan's intention. He is not a member of Immortal Crane Sect, it seems he knew that Immortal Crane Sect was going to deal with him. Thus, he sent this letter, to interact with the outside world, so that he can resist Immortal Crane Sect using Spirit Affinity House."
"But now, Immortal Crane Sect has an upright reason to strike, because Fang Yuan is a traitor of Immortal Crane Sect. Immortal Crane Sect can attack Hu Immortal blessed land righteously, while we cannot interfere."
Fairy Bai Qing was unresigned: "Is there no way for us to interfere? If Immortal Crane Sect gets Dang Hun mountain, I'm afraid their sect's foundation will get much stronger."
"As righteous sects, we have rules to follow. After all, there are so many other sects in central continent observing us, if the ten great sects break established practices, will we still be able to command those on our sides? Even though Immortal Crane Sect initially deceived the other nine sects, they were indeed led into believing them for some time, because Immortal Crane Sect had Fang Zheng who could be used as a perfect excuse."
"Since Immortal Crane Sect's plan worked out, we had to acknowledge them. At least, we cannot interfere this time. But if Immortal Crane Sect fails in taking down Hu Immortal blessed land, our nine sects will have reason to strike. After all, everyone knows about this situation right now, but because of rules and reputation, we are all pretending to be ignorant. If Immortal Crane Sect fails, no one will allow them to take Hu Immortal blessed land for themselves anymore." Feng Jiu Ge continued.
He paused before continuing: "Before going to northern plains, I plan to give my one's own way Gu to Immortal Crane Sect for their use."
"Ah? What is your intention?" Fairy Bai Qing was slightly taken aback.
Feng Jiu Ge was very confident: "We do not know about the strength of Fang Yuan's force, whether he can protect Hu Immortal blessed land is an unknown factor. If he defeats Immortal Crane Sect, then the ten great sects will strike together to split up this blessed land. But if Immortal Crane Sect wins, we can use my one's own way Gu as a reason to gain some advantage from Dang Hun mountain as well."
Hu Immortal blessed land, Dang Hun palace.
"Declaring me as the sect's traitor, this means Immortal Crane Sect will attack Hu Immortal blessed land very soon." Fang Yuan looked at the report in his hands with a heavy feeling.
Cleanse soul Immortal Gu was not fed yet, under such circumstances, using the immortal killer move myriad self was extremely risky.
If he was unlucky, he might lose the cleanse soul Immortal Gu for good.
This way, without myriad self, Fang Yuan would lose his greatest trump card.
"Immortal Crane Sect announced that I was a traitor in advance, but they did not attack. They are evidently waiting now, trying to lure the force behind me to make a move, so that they can fight it out. This is truly the demeanor and confidence of one of the ten great sects."
Fang Yuan thought a little about it and knew that Immortal Crane Sect's attack would be very powerful this time!
To him, the most important thing now was to find the white lotus giant silkworm Gu, to feed cleanse soul Immortal Gu until it was full.
At the same time, he needed to accumulate funds, and prepare enough green grape immortal essence.
Most Immortal Gu required immortal essence to activate.
Without immortal essence, no matter how many Immortal Gu he had, he could not use their abilities.
What is the point of war? Money!
In this world, why do Gu Immortals fight? For immortal essence stones! It was about immortal essence stones!
"Sigh, this is quite the problem. My funds that have just recovered are going to take a huge hit again. Two consecutive battles would completely devastate my already weak finances."

Chapter 697: Immortal Crane Sect, Gu Immortal Meeting
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Central Continent, Fei He mountain.
At the highest point of the mountain, in the hall of affairs.
Gu Immortals were seated in a circle, their immortal auras radiated as they discussed the important matters within Immortal Crane Sect.
"The spirit rhino's illness is getting worse, I need to purchase large amounts of materials, to refine the healing Gu that can treat it. But to completely heal the spirit rhino, I need a lot of healing Gu recipes and to carry out research on them. I estimate that I will need three hundred and sixty immortal essence stones." Gu Immortal Shu Zhi Ge spoke loudly.
Immediately afterwards, a Gu Immortal rebuked him: "The spirit rhino is an ancient desolate beast, it has a very strong body. But now, it has already been sick for half a year, why has it not recovered yet?"
"Shu Zhi Ge, are you trying to delay the treatment of the spirit rhino so that you can reap some gains from the process?" A Gu Immortal questioned.
Shu Zhi Ge heard this and his eyebrows rose up, he screamed: "Fan Xi Liu, don't bullshit me! Wasn't this all because you guys used a poison path Immortal Gu when you captured it? Back then, I urged you, don't use it, don't use it, but in the end, to save your efforts, you poisoned the spirit rhino. Now that there is trouble, you need me to clean up after you!"
"You are the one bullshitting! Do you know how hard it was to capture that spirit rhino alive? It is easy for you to speak like this!" Fan Xi Liu was just as fierce, shouting loudly.
Ding.
At this time, a bell rang, it was a crisp and clear sound.
The Gu Immortals' words were all swallowed by the sound of the bell, as this sound continued echoing, it became louder.
Shu Zhi Ge and Fan Xi Liu, no matter how much they spoke, their voices would only turn into bell sounds. They decided to keep quiet as everyone's gazes turned to the origin of the sound.
At the centermost seat, there was an old man, it was the person with the highest authority in Immortal Crane Sect, the rank eight first supreme elder that controlled the entire situation.
Immortal Crane Sect's first supreme elder's voice was low and slow: "Now, Shu Zhi Ge's suggestion requires three hundred and sixty immortal essence stones, to purchase Gu recipes and Gu worms to heal the spirit rhino, we will vote now."
"I object. Three hundred and sixty immortal essence stones is too many. My budget last time was merely two hundred immortal essence stones. Is healing a spirit rhino more important than healing Gu Immortals?" Fan Xi Liu was the first to object.
A Gu Immortal beside him said: "The spirit rhino is important, but it is not crucial. The most crucial matter now is the situation in the northwest, I object to this suggestion as well."
"We will talk about Great Heavenly Sword Sect in detail later, now we are only discussing the matter of healing the spirit rhino." First supreme elder interjected.
"I object." The third Gu Immortal said.
"Before expressing my decision, I would like to hear Lady Sang Xin's input. Our sect had expended much effort to capture the ancient desolate beast spirit rhino, it was to use the spirit rhino's blood to create an even more secretive information path Gu worm. I wonder what Lady Sang Xin's progress is?" The fourth Gu Immortal looked at Lady Sang Xin.
Lady Sang Xin was a rank six Gu Immortal, she smiled upon hearing this: "I am ashamed! Right now, we are making little progress, the spirit rhino's body is full of poisonous blood, the research of the information path Gu worm thus is progressing slowly."
The fourth Gu Immortal nodded: "That means this matter has few prospects. Then, I object."
Out of the eight Gu Immortals present, five objected. In the end, Shu Zhi Ge only got two hundred immortal essence stones.
This was evidently much less than the three hundred and sixty he requested for. Shu Zhi Ge snorted as he muttered something under his breath, expressing his unhappiness.
Ding.
With another sound of a bell, regardless of whether Shu Zhi Ge was satisfied, first supreme elder continued: "Then next, we will discuss the matter of the reincarnation battlefield."
Lei Tan stood up from his seat, he had a muscular body, his blue hair pointed towards the sky: "I have been in charge of the reincarnation battlefield's matters for over thirty years. I am sure everyone knows how important the reincarnation battlefield is. During the middle of this year, our sect had suffered a huge loss in the reincarnation battlefield. Even though reinforcements were swiftly provided and we regained our footing, the situation is still terrible. I need a rank six Gu Immortal's battle strength or three desolate beasts to reinforce us, and one of the desolate beast has to be a nine palace crane."
He Feng Yang immediately retorted: "A Gu Immortal's battle strength? Do you know Immortal Crane Sect's current situation? Mu Xiao Xiao is recuperating from a serious injury, Lin San Mei is in closed cultivation, we have a lack of manpower in terms of battle strength. You are making such a request at this time?"
Lei Tan snorted: "If Immortal Crane Sect is chased out of the reincarnation battlefield, can you, He Feng Yang, take responsibility?"
He Feng Yang snickered: "We have already invested a huge amount of resources into the Reincarnation Battlefield, two Gu Immortals were already involved in it, we can totally defend our side and maintain stability. Adding in forces will not solve anything, because our competitors in the reincarnation battlefield are the other nine sects. The more reinforcements we send in, the more reinforcements other sects would send, they might even send more than us!"
Shu Zhi Ge nodded: "Agreed, reincarnation battlefield's situation is stable now, the current objective should be to defend our territory."
Everyone looked around and started to vote.
Eventually, Lei Tan obtained the help of two desolate beasts, he looked at He Feng Yang in hatred, gritting his teeth.
Ding.
"Next, we will discuss the matter of Great Heavenly Sword Sect." First supreme elder said.
Gui Li heard this and firmed his gaze, sitting up straight.
Facing everyone's gazes, he spoke: "Great Heavenly Sword Sect has been under our Immortal Crane Sect for nearly a thousand years. Protected by us, after such a long time, they now have a third Gu Immortal. They want to get rid of this attachment and separate from our sect. If they succeed, our sect's control over the northwest would decrease significantly. Immortal Crane Sect's reputation will also take a huge hit. Even though there is not much evidence, I have gone through extensive calculations, I suspect that Myriad Dragon Dock is involved in this matter. If Great Heavenly Sword Sect detaches from us and joins Myriad Dragon Dock, the situation would be even worse. Our territory is connected to Myriad Dragon Dock's territory, the areas surrounding Great Heavenly Sword Sect would combine into Myriad Dragon Dock's sphere of influence if that happens."
"We all know how severe the matter is, you do not need to explain it. I'll ask you directly, who is the Gu Immortal that you want to recruit from Great Heavenly Sword Sect? How confident are you, is it the other party's scheme? And most importantly, how much of a price do we need to pay to recruit that Gu Immortal?" Second supreme elder asked.
Great Heavenly Sword Sect was a large sized force, it was unable to sustain the cultivation needs of three Gu Immortals.
Central continent's current situation was that the ten great ancient sects had control over the entirety of central continent, and eighty percent of its resources were split by the ten sects. Only the ten great ancient sects could sustain a large number of Gu Immortals.
For example, Great Heavenly Sword Sect, which was a subsidiary of Immortal Crane Sect, had to hand over a huge amount of resources every month. The Gu Immortals in Great Heavenly Sword Sect thus lack the resources they need. In this aspect, if there were enough benefits, it was possible to make a Gu Immortal betray them.
If Great Heavenly Sword Sect loses one of its three immortals, it will only have two left and its strength would fall, they could no longer stir up trouble.
Gui Li thought about his words as he said: "As the saying goes, nothing good is cheap, the one we are trying to recruit is not a mortal but a Gu Immortal. I promised them that they would be treated the same as us, after all, this is the standard for joining Immortal Crane Sect. Other than that, there are some resources as well, about seventy five immortal essence stones worth."
Pausing for a while, Gui Li continued: "In my humble opinion, we should not resort to force for Great Heavenly Sword Sect's matter, if we can. After all, the deadline of Great Heavenly Sword Sect's agreement to be our subsidiary sect is coming to an end. It is perfectly fair for them to want to end this relationship and detach from us. If we interfere forcefully, we would have no proper reason. Great Heavenly Sword Sect is also near a territorial border, Myriad Dragon Dock may find an excuse to intervene."
From start to finish, Gui Li did not mention which Gu Immortal he was thinking of recruiting.
Second supreme elder also did not pursue the matter.
All of the Gu Immortals present were supreme elders of Immortal Crane Sect, but they had internal factions and conflicts as well.
A place with people will have conflicts over benefits, and when there is conflict of interest, there are allegiances.
If Gui Li said it now, it might give rise to unnecessary conflict.
Great Heavenly Sword Sect's matter was extremely important to Immortal Crane Sect. After voting, Gui Li's suggestion was approved.
Ding.
With a loud sound from the bell, first supreme elder said: "Next, we will discuss the matter of taking back Hu Immortal blessed land. He Feng Yang, tell us about it."
Lei Tan snorted coldly, throwing a glance at He Feng Yang filled with ill intentions.
He Feng Yang stood up from his seat, showing a serious attitude: "Everyone, Hu Immortal blessed land is a rank six blessed land, even though Hu Immortal did not manage it well, Dang Hun mountain is in there. As we all know, Dang Hun mountain's guts Gu can greatly raise a sect's foundation, it is useful even to us Gu Immortals."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Immortal Lei Tan questioned: "He Feng Yang! It has already been more than a year, why is Hu Immortal blessed land not taken down yet? In fact, there is not even any progress. Do you know the other nine sects are looking at us like a joke now."
He Feng Yang was prepared for this, he spoke calmly: "Any person prepared to accomplish grand feats would face much mockery from the people around him, if we cannot endure this, how can we have any achievements?"
"I came here for a meeting, not to listen to your teachings. No matter what, it is undeniable that you have not retrieved Hu Immortal blessed land yet." Lei Tan said.
"During this last year, I have been extremely busy over this matter, I had not relaxed even a bit. A few days ago, I have already declared publicly that Fang Yuan is a traitor of the sect, and that we will take him down soon. During these recent days, I have sent informants to monitor the other nine great sects, we have not found any special reactions from any sect. The crucial person of this operation has been appropriately prepared, we just need Old Lord Can Yang and Fairy Cang Yu to assist in our move, and we will be able to take back Hu Immortal blessed land." He Feng Yang said.
"Old Lord Can Yang is rank seven, while Fairy Cang Yu has decent strength among rank six Gu Immortals, you have the nerve to request this? You are a grand Gu Immortal yourself, but you need three Gu Immortals to deal with a mortal? You are killing a chicken with an ox cleaver, this is what you have prepared after over a year?" Lei Tan mocked and laughed loudly.
He Feng Yang's eyes were twitching, he controlled the anger inside him as he looked around, calmly saying: "To ensure that nothing goes wrong, I have to make such a request. I'm sure everyone here knows the situation. I used Fang Zheng to lie to the nine sects, snatching Hu Immortal blessed land for ourselves in name. But ever since the nine sects found out the truth, they have been targeting Dang Hun mountain, obstructing us many times in secret. This time, we need to succeed, we cannot fail, otherwise they will intervene. By then, the situation is not something our sect can control anymore."
Hearing this, first supreme elder sighed lightly: "They have already obstructed us. He Feng Yang, I have bad news for you, as well as good news."
He Feng Yang's heart shuddered: "First elder, please tell me."
"Never mind, look at it yourself." First elder flicked his finger, as a rank five letter sending green bird Gu flew out.
He Feng Yang received it and his consciousness entered it, seeing the start, his expression turned ashen: "What? They are requesting Old Lord Can Yang to go to northern plains?"
In He Feng Yang's plan, Old Lord Can Yang was the greatest battle strength, he had an attacking type Immortal Gu, he was the powerhouse that could hold the fort.
But before He Feng Yang had even acted, he lost his strongest general!
Second supreme elder said: "We can't reject them. True Yang Building collapsed for no apparent reason, the cooperation of our ten sects to take down True Yang Building has failed. All the years of hard work have gone down the drain, all of our investments were wasted. This matter is too important, we have to organize a group to go investigate the truth in northern plains. At the same time, in northern plains, all sorts of Immortal Gu have appeared all over the place, thus this northern plains journey has another major objective, that is to capture some Immortal Gu. If the Gu Immortal we send has low battle strength, not only would we fail to gain anything, we might even be sidelined and reduced into being a shield, losing out in all aspects."

"But the decision of staying or going for Lord Can Yang would affect the ownership of Dang Hun mountain and guts Gu." He Feng Yang still wanted to fight for it.
"Feng Jiu Ge is the publicly recognized number one battle strength of the ten sects, he is also the leader of this northern plains expedition. We have no justifiable reason to reject his request. You know clearly that the sect's manpower in terms of battle strength is very tight recently. Even if we refuse him forcefully, the other nine sects will use excuses like not needing a burden to go with them, jointly pressuring us."
Hearing the first supreme elder say that, He Feng Yang's expression became utterly dark.
Lei Tan smiled silently, he did not conceal his schadenfreude at all.
He Feng Yang felt he was so angry that he was going to blow up, he continued reading the letter, but his expression suddenly froze, he said with mixed emotions: "This… Feng Jiu Ge is actually lending one's own way Immortal Gu to me? He has also raised one's own way Immortal Gu to rank seven! Rank six one's own way Immortal Gu is a consumable Gu that can only be used thrice. But the rank seven one's own way Gu has no such limits, it can be used as many times as possible, but the expended immortal essence is much higher."
"What? I remember that He Feng Yang's one's own way Gu only had one use left. To think that Feng Jiu Ge raised one's own way Gu to rank seven! No wonder he requested for one's own way Immortal Gu, he had an agenda all along."
"But his luck is really good, Immortal Gu are hard to refine, there is a very low chance of success, one's own way Gu was not his vital Gu, but he actually succeeded." Gui Li said.
Shu Zhi Ge said: "Spirit Affinity House has a lot of assets, and has close relations with Heavenly Court, their foundation is even deeper than Immortal Crane Sect. It is not a strange thing that they could refine a rank seven Immortal Gu."
"With one's own way Gu, we will not be suppressed by the blessed land, we can use mortal Gu freely." Lady Sang Xin looked at He Feng Yang.
"Feng Jiu Ge's scheme is great, on one hand he lent us one's own way Gu, if we succeed in obtaining Hu Immortal blessed land, he would be able to get a share. On the other hand, he took Old Lord Can Yang away, that was to lower our capability in the fight for Hu Immortal blessed land." Second supreme elder analyzed.
Third supreme elder Lord Tiger Demon drank the wine in his bowl before smashing it: "Damn! This is not the first time that the other nine great ancient sects have secretly obstructed our sect in dealing with Hu Immortal blessed land! He Feng Yang! Hu Immortal blessed land has been handled by you alone all along, I hope you can succeed this time, do not leave any opportunities for the other sects. Slap their faces hard. I want them to beg us to cooperate on selling the guts Gu!"
"I understand, third elder." He Feng Yang bowed.
The Gu Immortals discussed for a day and a night, they finally decided on what Immortal Crane Sect would do for the next few months.
Two days later, Fang Zheng opened the stone door, entering the blood pool.
"Fang Zheng, after so many hardships in training, we have finally reached this stage. Today, you will take revenge for your clansmen, you will make contributions to the sect, you will do a favor to all the people in this world. We must succeed!" In his aperture, the spirit incubating flea was vibrating, emitting Lord Sky Crane's voice.
"Yes, master! I will succeed!!" Fang Zheng clenched his fists, his expression was extremely firm.
He walked to the center of the blood pool, letting the boiling blood submerge half of his body.
Next, he breathed in deeply, using iron blood Gu. His blood became blacker and thicker, his skin turned darker.
Immediately afterwards, Fang Zheng activated blood blade Gu while maintaining iron blood Gu.
Sizzle…
From his body, hundreds of iron-blood blades flew out, shooting everywhere.
Hundreds of cuts appeared on his body, as blood like molten iron flowed out.
An intense pleasure hit him, Fang Zheng gritted his teeth as he entered the crucial step, using blood merge Gu…
At the same time, on Tian Ti mountain, two Gu Immortals arrived.
One of them looked young and mild like jade. He wore a green robe and had a jade pendant on his waist. What was most eye-catching were his dark green eyebrows, they were sharp and long, reaching down to his waist. It was the rank six Gu Immortal of Immortal Crane Sect, the one known as Winged Crane Flying Immortal, He Feng Yang.
The other was a young and beautiful looking woman, she had a good figure and her face was like a peach, her eyes were thin and delicate, she wore a pink-blue flowery dress, as it fluttered in the wind. She was another Gu Immortal of Immortal Crane Sect — Fairy Cang Yu.
The two stepped onto Tian Ti mountain, towards the location of Hu Immortal blessed land.
What they saw before them was a large green forest, it was plain and ordinary.
Hu Immortal blessed land was a separate small world, it was distinct from the world of central continent. As long as there were no loopholes in the blessed land, or the entrance of the blessed land was not opened, from outside, one could not see any signs of its existence. If one did not know of its existence, even if Gu Immortals passed by, they would not realize that there was a blessed land here.
Fairy Cang Yu looked around, the scenery was that of a jade green mountain with chirping birds, not one person was in sight.
But she smiled to He Feng Yang: "It seems that there are indeed many people today, and quite a few familiar faces too."
She and He Feng Yang did not conceal their traces, because their actions later would cause a commotion that could not be hidden. Thus, when He Feng Yang started to move, the other nine sects already knew about it.
Right now, Gu Immortals from the other nine ancient sects were already lurking close by, observing He Feng Yang and Cang Yu's actions, obtaining first hand information.
He Feng Yang scattered his Gu worms as he praised: "I've heard that fairy has an investigative killer move, known as micro sense, it can be sold for five immortal essence stones in treasure yellow heaven, it has great effect."
"Lord Flying Immortal is too kind, I merely obtained it from a fortuitous encounter in the reincarnation battlefield." Fairy Cang Yu delicately laughed.
"I will need fairy's help in this battle today." He Feng Yang's attitude was very gentle and kind.
"Lord Flying Immortal is too polite, my weak methods cannot compare to the grand Winged Crane Flying Immortal's myriad crane soaring flight. It would be a great honor if I can witness it today." Fairy Cang Yu sighed.
He Feng Yang laughed.
As he said this, he had already scattered about ten thousand mortal Gu, after five minutes, his preparations were complete.
"Next, we wait for the right time. Fairy, please." He Feng Yang waved his sleeves, as a lump of white cloud flew out.
The cloud was only three meters from the ground, turning into the shape of a cushion.
He Feng Yang leapt onto it and sat down cross-legged.
This was a white cloud cushion Gu, it was rank five and could assist a Gu Master in cultivating, increasing the effect of nurturing their aperture. Although the effect was not great, years of accumulation would still be a significant amount.
After He Feng Yang ascended to an immortal, white cloud cushion Gu lost its primary use, and could only be used as his seat.
The white cloud cushion was huge, He Feng Yang purposely left enough space for Fairy Cang Yu.
But Fairy Cang Yu took a look and did not step onto the white cloud cushion, she flicked her finger as a wood path Gu flew out.
The Gu worm drilled into the ground, several breaths later, peach trees started growing, the branches intertwined together, forming a comfortable bed made of peach blossoms.
Fairy Cang Yu lightly chuckled as she stepped onto the bed, half lying down and relaxing herself.
At the same time, in Fu Hu blessed land, Fang Zheng was at the last step.
He activated failed blood demon flower Gu, as all of the flesh and blood in his body became the soil and nutrients for the demon flower to grow. Countless vines grew out of his skin, coiling around his body.
The beautiful and demonic blue chrysanthemums blossomed and opened brightly.
An intense pain assaulted his entire body, even iron blood Gu was having no effect, Fang Zheng gritted his teeth as his expression contorted, he forced himself to endure it.
"Quickly use cold blood Gu!" Lord Sky Crane's soul was observing Fang Zheng's condition, at this moment, he reminded him.
Fang Zheng endured the inhuman pain as he mobilized his primeval essence, activating cold blood Gu.
His body shuddered for a few moments, as the temperature of his boiling blood fell, preventing him from suffering the terrible fate of being cooked alive.
"Use blood sense Gu." Lord Sky Crane gave instructions.
Fang Zheng gritted his teeth till blood was dripping out, he activated this rank five blood path investigative Gu forcefully.
This Gu could allow him to sense others with the same bloodline as him. The closer they were and the thicker their bloodline, the clearer the connection between them.
But this time, no matter how Fang Zheng tried to sense him, he could not see any images.
"How can this be? You and Fang Yuan are brothers by blood, your bloodlines are of the most close relations, meanwhile failed blood demon flower Gu can enhance the effect of blood path Gu worms, how could you not sense anything after such a long time?" Fang Zheng was in so much pain he could not talk, but Lord Sky Crane was monitoring him closely, seeing that there was no effect, he became nervous, shouting in panic.
"Fang Zheng, hang in there! You have trained for so long, enduring so much inhuman hardship, it was all for this. Our sect's two Gu Immortals have already set off, we are waiting for you to lead the way! Do not give up, do not relax your concentration for even a minute." Lord Sky Crane urged worriedly.
Fang Zheng's body was shivering intensely, he could not answer his master, he could only use actions to express his obedience.
"You still can't sense him? Strange! Too strange! Fang Zheng, you have to extend your sense towards the hole earth Gu in the blood pool. If Hu Immortal blessed land's hole earth Gu has not been destroyed yet, then this hole earth Gu would connect to Hu Immortal blessed land. It can help you greatly in sensing Fang Yuan!" Lord Sky Crane reminded.
But Fang Zheng had already sent his sense over to the hole earth Gu, there was little effect.
To him, he felt like he was in complete darkness, searching for his target was like looking for a speck of light in complete darkness.
Be it Fang Zheng or Lord Sky Crane, they did not know about the changes in Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan had become an immortal zombie!
His body's blood had turned into a cold jade green zombie blood, from the original healthy red blood.
This, no doubt, raised the difficulty for Fang Zheng immensely.
No matter how hard Fang Zheng tried, he could not sense Fang Yuan's existence!
"Damn it! Damn it!" Lord Sky Crane was extremely anxious, according to the experience of their previous training, Fang Zheng's endurance had a time limit. Ninety percent of the time had passed already, he was near his limit.
"Don't tell me, we have to use that trump card?" Lord Sky Crane was having an internal struggle.
To ensure that this succeeded, He Feng Yang had secretly placed some blood path Gu worms in Fang Zheng's body. Together with the Gu worms in the blood pool, it formed a trump card that could prevent any accidents from happening.
But if they used this trump card, Fang Zheng would completely lose his mind, he would activate blood sense Gu without caring about his life. Fang Zheng's soul would be consumed intensely, and his blood and flesh would shrivel quickly, there was an extremely high chance of dying!

Lord Sky Crane hesitated.
On one hand, he had instructions from He Feng Yang and was responsible for the heavy task. Reason told him he needed to sacrifice Fang Zheng, this mortal child, for the benefits of Immortal Crane Sect, and it was also the most appropriate choice.
But on the other hand, his sentiments were obstructing him.
Humans were not made of stone, how could they be devoid of emotions?
'Being with Fang Zheng day and night, watching him grow step by step, looking at him unable to think properly sometimes, looking at him cultivate bitterly with all his effort for vengeance, he really resembles me back then…'
Lord Sky Crane could not bear to sacrifice!
"Fang Zheng, you brat, I taught you so many times, this is the most basic refinement method!"
"Sorry, master." Fang Zheng's hand was emitting smoke, the Gu worm in the palm of his hand had already turned into a pile of ash.
"Fang Zheng, practice, practice, and practice more. A disciple of mine, the grand Lord Sky Crane, can't even arrange the cranes in an arrow formation? Where would my face go if this was spread?!" Lord Sky Crane shouted in fury.
"Sorry, master, I will definitely try harder… ugh!" Fang Zheng made more mistakes the more nervous he became.
Two groups of cranes collided against each other in the air because of his last mistake.
The miserable cries of the cranes and the sounds of bone fractures resounded like dumplings dropped into a pot, as they fell down to the ground.
The spirit incubating flea was dazed for a moment at beholding this scene before erupting like thunder, "You fool!"
"Master, I was wrong, sorry." Fang Zheng faced the wall inside a room for confinement, as he apologized to Lord Sky Crane.
"Stupid kid, what are you saying sorry for? You fought well!"
"Ah? Master, doesn't the sect prohibit internal fights?"
"Hmph, Zhang Nan's master is Xuan Ji Zi, back then I didn't find him pleasing to my eyes and beat him till his head was swollen. I was also confined longer than you. I might have died already, but as my disciple, how could you be bullied by others!" Lord Sky Crane snickered.
"Master…." Fang Zheng choked with sobs, his eyes reddened and tears started forming in his eyes.
"Idiot, what are you crying for. A man does not easily shed tears!" Lord Sky Crane berated.
"Yes, master. Sorry, master!"
This crucial moment seemed to span endlessly.
The past scenes floated by one by one in Lord Sky Crane's mind. He seemed to hear being called master again and again.
Lord Sky Crane roared in a voice so loud that it could awaken the dead: "Fang Zheng, persevere! Have you forgotten the pain Fang Yuan inflicted upon you? Forgotten how your fellow disciples beat you black and blue when you first arrived at Immortal Crane Sect? Forgotten the grieving ghosts of your clan, forgotten how miserably your uncle and aunt had died at Fang Yuan's hands? Your hatred, your effort, all of it need to be shown at this moment! You can't fail, you can't give up!"
"I will definitely sense him, definitely!" Fang Zheng's spirit was stirred up when he heard Lord Sky Crane's roar.
However, he still only sensed endless darkness.
No matter how much effort he exerted, no matter how he used his energy, he still could not sense any indication.
"Why?! Why!" Fang Zheng's mind was shaken and was starting to turn chaotic when the memories of that unbearable past hidden deep within him started surfacing one after another.
The shadow which Fang Yuan had cast upon Fang Zheng since youth seemed to be the same as this darkness he was sensing, causing Fang Zheng to feel boundless pressure and not a trace of light.
Fang Zheng felt he was an extremely tiny speck in this vast darkness.
Hesitation, bewilderment, loneliness, helplessness, all sorts of feelings gushed in his heart.
"Sorry, master, I… failed." Tears fell down Fang Zheng's eyes as his body reached the limit and his mind was close to collapsing.
"No! You can't fail, I don't allow it!" Lord Sky Crane was also anxious, shouting repeatedly.
However, Fang Zheng was slowly unable to hear him, he was about to fall unconscious like in the previous drills.
"Damn it, damn it!" Lord Sky Crane shouted in his heart, he thought of his possession plan, and thought of the punishment He Feng Yang would give if he failed this task.
"Fang Zheng, you brat, all my efforts to cultivate you are in vain. In the end, you are still unable to get rid of that man's shadow! Since that is the case, then let me give you a hand!!"
Lord Sky Crane's thoughts flashed before he finally convinced himself. The situation also forced him into making this choice.
He used that trump card.
Instantly, the whole blood pool let out bright lights, sweeping away the previous darkness.
Gu worms concealed around the blood pool activated one after another on Fang Zheng's body.
"Ahhh——!" Fang Zheng's body spasmed intensely like he was electrocuted. He fiercely raised his head and spread his arms, clenching his fists so tightly that the nails pierced into the flesh.
An incomparable pain attacked his mind, causing his eyes to roll backwards and show the whites.
Almost in the next breath of time, Fang Zheng's roar stopped abruptly; he lost his consciousness, but under the effects of Gu worms, he still continued to activate failed blood demon flower Gu, and was still using blood sense Gu to sense Fang Yuan's existence.
The blood pool seethed and gurgled.
Squeak squeak… the failed blood demon flowers started growing rapidly, emitting bone-chilling sounds.
Fang Zheng maintained his position, with his head raised and arms spread, without budging in the slightest, like a statue.
The demonic vines had been small and thin like needles, but now these vines grew thicker, at least as thick as fingers. The largest vine grew from the depths of Fang Zheng's throat and extended out from his mouth like a python.
Besides this, there were vines growing out from his ears and nostrils.
Soon, vines grew out from every pore on his skin; Fang Zheng had thoroughly turned into nourishment for the demon flowers, his body was cut open everywhere, there was nothing remaining of his original appearance, just like a flower statue that had been tastefully trimmed.
"Brat…." Looking at Fang Zheng transforming into this miserable appearance, Lord Sky Crane's original anxiety and nervousness disappeared. He felt a bleak emptiness that spread to the depths of his heart, it was extremely unbearable.
This unbearable feeling soon turned into a heavy guilt that filled Lord Sky Crane's mind.
"Brat, master… has done you an injustice!" Lord Sky Crane's soul, which was stored in the spirit incubating flea, was unexpectedly letting out drops of soul tears!
"Hmm? He Feng Yang's arrangements have been activated." In the depths of Fu Hu blessed land, Immortal Crane Sect's third supreme elder slowly opened his eyes and mumbled.
He thought of the matter that He Feng Yang had specially requested of him before he left.
The third elder, Lord Tiger Demon, used his immortal essence to activate an Immortal Gu that gracefully flew out of the hall.
This Immortal Gu was not Lord Tiger Demon's, but had been borrowed by He Feng Yang from Lady Sang Xin. It was a rank six information path Immortal Gu – Mutual Sense.
In ten or so breaths of time, the Immortal Gu descended down to over the blood pool, above Fang Zheng.
"This is — Immortal Gu?!" Lord Sky Crane's eyes opened wide in shock.
Mutual sense Immortal Gu let out a grey light pillar, the smoke-like light pillar covered Fang Zheng. Several breaths later, the grey light pillar was dyed red with Fang Zheng's blood.
"Where… is this?" Fang Zheng's remaining consciousness surveyed his surroundings.
It was darkness around him, no matter where he walked and no matter how far, the surroundings were still covered in deep and boundless darkness.
However, right at this time, a blood-red light speck appeared ahead of Fang Zheng.
"Ah? That is…." Fang Zheng tried walking towards the light; when he reached closer, he sensed a familiar aura from the blood-red light speck, "This is older brother's, no, Fang Yuan's aura! Master, master, do you hear me, I have succeeded! I finally sensed him!"
Fang Zheng was extremely excited and tried to speak, but no words came out.
His mouth was opened so wide that it had almost deformed, it was being held in place by the thick demon flower vines. But a joyful teardrop fell down from the corner of his eye.
This tear fiercely shook Lord Sky Crane's soul, he sank down into deathly silence.
Fang Zheng approached the blood-red light speck, suddenly the light speck let out an extremely powerful suction force that completely caught Fang Zheng off-guard, absorbing his remaining consciousness.
At this moment, in Hu Immortal blessed land, Fang Yuan gave a sound of surprise and slowly opened his eyes.
He sensed a blood pool, sensed Fang Zheng's body, sensed the lush, enchanting failed blood demon flowers, sensed the spirit incubating flea, sensed the information path mutual sense Immortal Gu above….
"So it is like this." Fang Yuan sneered, "My cute little brother, you are finally going to die? No, in the words of the righteous path, you are sacrificing yourself for the group? Hahaha."
"What happened?" Tai Bai Yun Sheng, who was sitting to the side, saw Fang Yuan suddenly speaking and immediately questioned.
At the other side from him were Hei Lou Lan and Fairy Li Shan, who similarly casted inquiring gazes at Fang Yuan.
"Such a coincidence, I had invited you guys to talk about guts Gu business, but it seems Immortal Crane Sect is making an attack." Fang Yuan smiled. He then intentionally lowered his eyes and waved his hand, "The other side used my own little brother and used the Immortal Gu, Mutual Sense, to get my location. Everyone, first leave Dang Hun palace and lie in ambush. My senior brother will explain the details to you."
Immortal Gu Mutual Sense could allow two parties to sense each other's situation.
At this moment, Fang Zheng and Fang Yuan had sensed each other's situation through blood sense Gu and mutual sense Immortal Gu.
Naturally, because of the difference in strength between the two sides, Fang Yuan was able to sense everything about Fang Zheng while Fang Zheng could only see things through Fang Yuan's eyes. His perception was limited and he was not even able to sense the immortal aperture inside Fang Yuan.
Hei Lou Lan and Fairy Li Shan glanced at each other, and saw the heavy mood in the other's eyes.
They were hindered by the Snowy Mountain Alliance and could not easily avoid this, they could only brace themselves to fight alongside Fang Yuan.
On Tian Ti mountain, He Feng Yang, who was sitting on a white cloud cushion Gu, suddenly opened his eyes.
"The time is ripe!" A sharp light burst out of his eyes as he took out an Immortal Gu.
"Expand space Immortal Gu." Fairy Cang Yu softly breathed out when she saw the Immortal Gu.
This Immortal Gu belonged to Immortal Crane Sect's second supreme elder, its ability was to expand the space of a blessed land. He Feng Yang had borrowed it to use it as the core of an immortal killer move.
Immortal killer move — Force Intrusion!
Over ten beads of green grape immortal essence were spent in an instant. An enormous aura rose up and formed translucent ripples in the air.
Crack…
Like the sound of glass breaking, space broke apart in front of He Feng Yang and Fairy Cang Yu, revealing the terrain of Hu Immortal blessed land.
He Feng Yang leisurely stored expand space Immortal Gu before glancing at Fairy Cang Yu and inviting in a gentlemanly voice: "Fairy, please enter."
Fairy Cang Yu delicately laughed before stepping forward in the direction of Hu Immortal blessed land.
Suddenly, lightning struck towards her!

Fairy Cang Yu's mind was immediately alerted.
The flash of lightning came quickly, it tore through the air and emitting a crackling sound like that of sparks.
"Even though there are many Gu Immortals present, our sect had won in our scheme earlier, according to the rules, the other nine great ancient sects can merely observe this. If they are not from the nine sects, which demonic path Gu Immortal would dare to take a risk and mess with Immortal Crane Sect?"
In an instant, Fairy Cang Yu's mind was flashing with thoughts.
At the same time, her fingers did not slow down, her ten dainty fingers were fluttering around, about to activate a killer move to strike back.
But at the next moment, He Feng Yang stopped her: "Fairy, wait."
Saying this, he pulled Fairy Cang Yu to one side, while opening up the hole leading to Hu Immortal blessed land.
The flash of lightning ignored the two of them, it entered Hu Immortal blessed land through this hole.
Using this time, Fairy Cang Yu saw the lightning's true identity: "This is the earthly calamity — Blue Charm Lightning Shadow?"
He Feng Yang laughed plainly: "This is an earthly calamity targeting Hu Immortal blessed land, after Fang Yuan discarded a huge portion of Hu Immortal blessed land, he sent it out of the blessed land. To think that this blue charm lightning shadow did not vanish, instead it had been hiding on Tian Ti mountain."
"Great. Blue charm lightning shadow has good battle strength, about the mid-tier of rank six. With it leading from the front, we would have an easier time." Fairy Cang Yu's brows eased, she started smiling.
"Fang Yuan has decisiveness, he really is quite impressive, directly discarding close to a quarter of the blessed land. But his strength is simply too low, no matter how much he plots, it is useless."
He Feng Yang sighed, entering Hu Immortal blessed land along with Fairy Cang Yu.
Once they got in, a wave of heavenly power descended on them, sealing all of the mortal Gu in their hands.
But immediately after, He Feng Yang and Fairy Cang Yu's bodies shone with an orange and yellow light.
This was the effect of the rank seven one's own way Immortal Gu, it could prevent their mortal Gu from being suppressed, and let them be activated normally.
Fairy Cang Yu shut her eyes, after a few breaths, she opened them again: "We are at the west area of Hu Immortal blessed land, the blue charm lightning shadow has already gone to the center of the blessed land, towards Dang Hun mountain."
He Feng Yang nodded: "As I expected, within Hu Immortal blessed land, the safest place is Dang Hun mountain. The blue charm lightning shadow's first target is the blessed land's owner. Back then, Hu Immortal was caught off guard and killed by the blue charm lightning shadow. Since it is heading for Dang Hun mountain, that means Fang Yuan is hiding inside Dang Hun mountain, let's go there."
"Okay. I've always wanted to see what the legendary Dang Hun mountain looks like." Fairy Cang Yu laughed lightly.
"With the blue charm lightning shadow leading the way, we can also see what kind of ambush the enemy has prepared." He Feng Yang said, activating expand space Immortal Gu, using another immortal killer move as the hole behind him closed in the blessed land.
"That's the immortal killer move, force closure."
"Immortal Crane Sect is so petty, they are not letting us watch."
"In this battle, if Immortal Crane Sect fails, whether the door is closed or not, we will take over. If Immortal Crane Sect wins, whether the door opens or not, we will leave. Letting us watch would not affect anything."
"Hmph, they are projecting their own shortcomings onto others. Did they really think we would act out of greed?"
Outside, on Tian Ti mountain, the Gu Immortals from central continent's other nine great sects were conversing using their divine senses.
"Bi Weng, how high do you think Immortal Crane Sect's chance of succeeding is?" Gu Immortal Zhang Wen Jiu asked casually.
"Relatively high. Even though we have been obstructing them in secret, causing them to only send two Gu Immortals in the end to take back Hu Immortal blessed land, they still have the battle strength of two Gu Immortals and now the blue charm lightning shadow. Fang Yuan who controls Hu Immortal blessed land is a mere mortal, how can he block Immortal Crane Sect?" Bi Weng answered.
"That's not what I think. According to the investigation of us, Spirit Butterfly Valley, Fang Yuan had refined Fixed Immortal Travel in Three Kings blessed land, and came here alone. How is that possible? As a mortal, how could he refine an Immortal Gu, how could he have an image of Hu Immortal blessed land's scenery? Behind him, there is definitely a mastermind. Since the other party dared to snatch Hu Immortal blessed land from the ten ancient sects, I am sure they have the battle strength to protect it. Maybe, they might be able to resist Immortal Crane Sect's attack?" Rainbow Butterfly Immortal Concubine Han Cai Xin said.
"Immortal Concubine also does not speak without reason." Gu Immortal Du Teng laughed: "If Immortal Crane Sect fails, do we have a competition to decide the victor or choose to have an agreement among the ten sects first before striking?"
This was a crucial problem, the Gu Immortals from the nine sects fell into silence.
"Of course we'll discuss it in detail another day. We are the ten great ancient sects, not rabid dogs scavenging for food." Myriad Dragon Dock's Gu Immortal Guan Cao Ze immediately said.
Among the Gu Immortals present, Guan Cao Ze had the lowest battle strength. If they battled, he would be at the greatest disadvantage.
"This is inappropriate, this is inappropriate." Green Canary Boy shook his head.
"We should strike while the iron is hot, this is just a blessed land, we should decide on it today and not waste more time!" Great Lord Lie Yang pretended to be unaware.
"Strange, didn't Vicious Lightning Fiend of your Myriad Dragon Dock just end his closed cultivation? Why would you be sent here for this contest for Hu Immortal blessed land?" Poison Count Lu Xu laughed coldly as he pointed out Guan Cao Ze's weakness.
The Gu Immortals quickly formed a consensus, if Immortal Crane Sect failed, they would have a competition to decide who the blessed land belongs to. If Immortal Crane Sect won, they would also have a competition, the sect that places first would have priority in reaching an agreement with Immortal Crane Sect for the guts Gu.
Guts Gu could raise the foundation of a sect, it was even useful to Gu Immortals. Any sect would not be able to take it solely for themselves, when the other nine sects exert pressure, they would be forced to sell it.
"You guys…" Guan Cao Ze was fuming on the outside, but he was snickering on the inside.
At the same time as the discussion between the Gu Immortals of the nine sects, within Hu Immortal blessed land, He Feng Yang and Fairy Cang Yu were slowly flying towards Dang Hun mountain.
"This is a blood pool?" Halfway there, He Feng Yang gave a curious gaze.
He found that within Hu Immortal blessed land, there was a huge blood pool, it was so huge it could be called a blood lake.
"Hmph, another blood path scoundrel!" Fairy Cang Yu frowned, saying in a despising tone.
"Blood path cultivators harm all living beings in this world, as it can allow them to raise their battle strength. This is the reason why countless Gu Masters choose this path! Every ten years, Heavenly Court would issue the Demon Judgment Board, and many blood path Gu Masters would be on it. Blood Sea Ancestor, he truly caused much harm to the world!" He Feng Yang criticized, thrusting with his palm as a jade lightning ball flew towards it.
Boom boom boom.
After a series of explosions, the blood pool was destroyed, turning into ruins.
After destroying the blood pool, the two immortals continued to fly towards Dang Hun mountain.
On the way, Fairy Cang Yu shook her head: "This Hu Immortal blessed land is managed too poorly, it is almost completely desolate. I've heard that this place had large groups of foxes in the past, but now, after flying for so long, we have not seen a single myriad fox group."
"There are few fox groups, but there are surely a lot of rockmen. Fang Yuan is a mortal after all, he only knows how to use guts Gu to increase the production of rockmen. But he does not know that he is pursuing tiny gains while discarding the foundations. Hu Immortal was an enslavement path Gu Immortal, enslavement path was the main law in her blessed land, it is best for rearing fox groups." He Feng Yang laughed in disdain.
"Hu Immortal blessed land is truly wasted in his hands. Once it is in our sect, Hu Immortal blessed land will develop greatly, but I wonder who in the sect would be its owner." Fairy Cang Yu sighed.
Hearing that, He Feng Yang sighed: "According to the rules, after we recover it, Hu Immortal blessed land would be a public blessed land of Immortal Crane Sect, we would only have a limited time in operating it after getting it. But this managing right is also extremely lucrative. After all, the center of the blessed land is Dang Hun mountain, it is a gold mine!"
"The scariest part is that this gold mine will never run out." Fairy Cang Yu nodded in agreement.
The two of them talked along the way, not facing any obstruction. This raised their confidence that the blessed land was in terrible shape.
They started to fly faster, and when they were in front of Dang Hun mountain, they were already talking about 'what they would do when Dang Hun mountain belongs to them'.
In the air above Dang Hun mountain, the blue charm lightning shadow was shrieking and charging, attacking Dang Hun mountain.
But though it was formed from an earthly calamity, it had life as well, Dang Hun mountain's vibration could attack its soul, its weakness.
"Fang Yuan, come out. You should know that Dang Hun mountain can only block the blue charm lightning shadow because it has no Gu worms. Even if you raise Dang Hun mountain's power to its limits, you cannot block two Gu Immortals." He Feng Yang shouted, his voice could pierce through heaven and earth.
"Fang Yuan, a wise man submits to circumstances, I am sure the land spirit is beside you now. Then you should know that Hu Immortal blessed land cannot seal our mortal Gu. Furthermore, we've brought an Immortal Gu!" Fairy Cang Yu followed up, pressuring Fang Yuan.
Thus, Fang Yuan walked out, standing on Dang Hun mountain's peak.
He Feng Yang's heart tightened, but he quickly relaxed. This was a rank six immortal zombie, immortal zombies had great weaknesses, they could not produce immortal essence and their blessed land would shrivel and break apart at set intervals, thus their battle strength was usually below ordinary Gu Immortals.
"Immortal Crane Sect has finally lost their patience? You want my blessed land, aren't you afraid I will destroy Dang Hun mountain?" Fang Yuan said.
"You are… Fang Yuan?" He Feng Yang squinted, he found it unbelievable. Only a year had passed, how could Fang Yuan become an immortal zombie?!
While He Feng Yang was suspicious and confused, Fairy Cang Yu spoke beside him, smiling: "We came prepared, of course, how could we allow you to destroy Dang Hun mountain? If you think using Dang Hun mountain could threaten us, then you are very much mistaken. Oh, that's right, we can even reduce Dang Hun mountain's pressure until it is insignificant. By then, we would not need to strike, this blue charm lightning shadow alone can kill you."
Fang Yuan looked at the blue charm lightning shadow in the air, this human shaped lightning was growling non-stop, charging towards Dang Hun mountain but was forced back each time by the intense vibrations.
Fang Yuan heaved a long sigh.
Fairy Cang Yu thought that this was a chance, and continued: "As long as you give up the ownership of the blessed land, we can forget past matters, and even accept you as a disciple of our sect!"
"But I remember, Immortal Crane Sect promised to give me the position of an elder back then?" Fang Yuan retorted.
He Feng Yang laughed coldly: "Times have changed, Fang Yuan, you are a smart man, can't you see the circumstances now?"
Fang Yuan heard this and he smirked: "Oh? The circumstances now… oh, let me have a good look."
Just after he said this, the aura of Immortal Gu burst out in his body.
"This, this is?!" Fairy Cang Yu's beautiful face transformed.
"Immortal Gu, so many Immortal Gu!" He Feng Yang could not tell which Immortal Gu they were, but the aura would not lie to him, his eyes were burning with an intense light of greed.
But at the next moment, three figures appeared around Fang Yuan.
Hei Lou Lan, Tai Bai Yun Sheng, Fairy Li Shan!
Two rank six, one rank seven!
Not only that, each of them gave off an intense Immortal Gu aura, not concealing it at all.
Fairy Cang Yu's complexion changed.
He Feng Yang's greedy gaze also turned into one of uncontrollable shock!
Fang Yuan's force was so powerful it was out of his imagination.
Next, one, two, three… six, seven, eight beast figures flew out from Dang Hun mountain and arrived in eight surrounding directions.
Ice spike divine ape, phoenix feather lava crocodile, golden sand dark stallion, azure dragon vine… eight desolate beasts formed an encirclement.
"This is a trap!" He Feng Yang growled, his body shuddering.
Fairy Cang Yu suddenly felt outnumbered, her face turned pale and she was speechless.
Even the blue charm lightning shadow in the air stopped its angry growl.
Fang Yuan's plain voice came from Dang Hun mountain once again: "Oh, I have seen the current circumstances very clearly now, but the question is, have you?"

Chapter 701: Rank Three Airsac Gu
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Eight desolate beasts encircled closer to He Feng Yang and Fairy Cang Yu.
"They are all real." Fairy Cang Yu had extremely outstanding investigative methods to check the situation, but the result caused her pretty face to blanch further.
He Feng Yang looked around him and saw —
To the east was an ice spike divine ape whose bulk was only somewhat inferior to Dang Hun mountain; a tyrannical aura spread out from it and as it moved, it left behind a pure white icy trail. The fur on its whole body were like ice cones which brought a stifling pressure upon the two Immortals. The sclera of its eyes were jade green, while its pupils had a frost blue luster. This represented the dense bloodline in this ice spike divine ape. If the eyeballs were completely frost blue in color, that would be the ancient desolate beast, icefall divine ape, whose battle strength was comparable to a rank seven Gu Immortal.
To the west floated a phoenix feather lava crocodile. This crocodile was two to three times the size of ordinary crocodiles and could not compare to the enormously huge ice spike divine ape, yet its aura surged mightily. Its every breath brought a scalding hot heat wave. Its brownish-red scale armor was thick and robust, and its slender tail was over six meters long. It did not have any scales on its back but instead had colorful phoenix feathers that resembled blazing lava.
To the north stood a proud golden sand dark stallion. This horse was huge, its size reaching the chest of the ice spike divine ape. It had six legs that looked like they were cast from metal, its muscles were bulging, its posture was proud and aloof like a dragon, and its whole body shone with a golden luster. Only the six hooves were pitch black.
The south side was entrenched by an azure dragon vine. This vine was not a wild beast, strictly speaking, but a plant. The vines had condensed into a dragon shape and when its roots were pierced into the soil, its defensive and regenerative powers were extremely terrifying, thus it specialized in battles of attrition. If it pulled out the roots, it could soar in the sky like an azure dragon.
On the southeast side was a swamp crab. It was the king of swampy terrain. Its broad, mountain-like body could reach up to a quarter of Dang Hun mountain's height when standing. Its eyes had degenerated till they were nonexistent, and its shell was so thick that He Feng Yang felt a powerless sensation, like he was facing a tortoise shell. It had altogether nineteen pairs of legs and its front pair of pincers could easily crush boulders and cut dragons, even Fang Yuan with his immortal zombie body did not dare to test the might of this pair of pincers.
A peach wolf was crouching down on the northeast. This wolf had the smallest size, the same as that of a newborn puppy. It looked extremely good natured and cute with its round body, plump claws, pink tongue and round dark eyes. Judging from appearance, it seemed to be harmless to both man and beast, however, He Feng Yang's pupils shrunk and if he had to choose a direction to break through, he would avoid this one outright!
An iron crown eagle circled over the northwest side. This eagle gave off a valiant and imposing aura as it hovered in the air, its eyes locked onto He Feng Yang and Fairy Cang Yu. Its wings were broad and thick, and each of its feathers could be shot out like sharp arrows. Its claws were firm and savage, able to crush boulders and rip apart dragons and tigers.
Finally on the southwest side stood an earth chief desolate beast. It had a humanoid body with a snake tail, its face resembled a bat's and its nose was pointed up. It had large ears and was black all over, with armor made of flesh covering it. Around its chest were fifty to sixty fleshy whips, each over twenty meters in length. There were suction organs on the surface of the fleshy whips; it would be hard to free oneself if someone was entangled by them. At the front of each fleshy whip was a chrysanthemum-like orifice which could shoot out a white milky fluid at the crucial moment; the fluid had very high corrosiveness and contained extremely large numbers of parasitic worms, which could drill into the pores of people and wreak havoc from inside the body.
Fang Yuan had borrowed these eight desolate beasts from Lang Ya land spirit.
More accurately, it should be said that Fang Yuan borrowed Lang Ya land spirit's rank seven beast enslavement Gu. This Immortal Gu could subdue all kinds of wild beasts, including mutated beasts, myriad beast kings, beast emperors, even desolate beasts and ancient desolate beasts.
Desolate beasts had the power of a rank six Gu Immortal and could be very difficult to deal with when the wild Gu residing on them were unknown.
Eight desolate beasts encircled He Feng Yang and Fairy Cang Yu, eying them with greed.
The two sank into silence with no signs of a leisurely attitude like before.
He Feng Yang turned his heavy gaze towards the peak of Dang Hun mountain. Compared to the eight desolate beasts, the true threat was still Fang Yuan and the other three immortals.
Almost no desolate beasts could use killer moves, but Gu Immortals had ample wisdom to use and research killer moves.
He Feng Yang's heart had sunken to rock bottom, he forcibly calmed down and shouted towards Fang Yuan: "Who are all of you?"
Except Fang Yuan, the other three immortals were wearing masks; Hei Lou Lan wore a black bear mask, Fairy Li Shan wore a blue bird mask, while Tai Bai Yun Sheng wore a deer mask. The three were also shrouded in a layer of light that concealed their true appearance, hiding it from the investigative methods of He Feng Yang and Fairy Cang Yu.
Fang Yuan chuckled: "Before asking us of our identities, shouldn't you two introduce yourselves first?"
He Feng Yang and Fairy Cang Yu silently glanced at each other, and saw the bitter look in each other's eyes.
They had thought this trip would be simple, and at worst, they thought the other side would possess a Gu Immortal's battle strength. However, they absolutely had not anticipated the enemy force would be this strong!
Thus, they had been arrogant and directly requested Fang Yuan to surrender without giving self-introductions.
"My name is He Feng Yang, a rank six enslavement path Gu Immortal of Immortal Crane Sect."
"I am Cang Yu, a rank six water path Gu Immortal of Immortal Crane Sect."
The two introduced themselves one after the other, their attitude was no longer as overbearing as earlier, they were behaving very humbly at the moment.
A wise man submits to circumstances, those who could become Gu Immortals were outstanding people. At present, Fang Yuan had an imposing force, He Feng Yang and Cang Yu decisively lowered their high heads.
It might be easy to defeat Gu Immortals but killing them was difficult. He Feng Yang could use expand space Immortal Gu to tear a hole in Hu Immortal blessed land's space and escape. However, they did not know Fang Yuan's abilities, if Fang Yuan had an Immortal Gu that could prevent their escape, the situation would become dangerous.
"So it is brother He and Fairy Cang Yu." Fang Yuan's tone was polite, "I am Fang Yuan and I welcome you two as guests in my blessed land."
These polite words felt grating when He Feng Yang and Cang Yu heard them, it was full of sarcasm.
He Feng Yang could not help but feel stifled.
What he had asked for was clearly these people's true identities, but Fang Yuan played dumb and gave an irrelevant answer by only replying with his name.
Right now, who in Central Continent's ten great sects would not know of his name?
Fang Yuan intentionally avoided this topic, and He Feng Yang, as the weaker side, did not dare to pursue it.
"I wonder what both of you are here for?" Fang Yuan asked.
He Feng Yang was silent, but inwardly he was screaming insults: 'What else could we come for? It is to take Hu Immortal blessed land and capture Dang Hun mountain. This brat, asking when he already knows!'
Fairy Cang Yu snorted: "Why is sir speaking in such a weird and sarcastic tone? Sir's power surpassed everyone's imagination, when did such a force appear in Central Continent? Today was our loss, sir's planning skills are indeed excellent and have fully controlled the situation. Now what should we do? If you want to battle, then let us begin, why waste time chit-chatting? We will battle to the end if you wish to, in the worst case, our blood will splatter all over and we will perish here."
Fang Yuan could not help but take another look at Fairy Cang Yu upon hearing these words, shortly afterwards he smiled: "Fairy, you are quite brave, I am filled with admiration. I can roughly guess your intentions in coming here, it should be for Dang Hun mountain's guts Gu, right?"
"You are right." He Feng Yang frankly admitted. Under the circumstances, he had no choice but to admit it, the scheme which he had painstakingly devised and prepared for over a year in order to capture Hu Immortal blessed land had already completely failed.
However, right at this time, he could not help but have some hope: 'If Fang Yuan wanted to battle, he should have started already. But he has been talking up to this point, it seems he is afraid of Immortal Crane Sect, as long as I use this correctly, maybe we can escape without any accidents.'
Fang Yuan suddenly clapped and smiled: "You two came in at just the right time, I had already been thinking of selling guts Gu. What do you think of this Gu?"
A rank three Gu worm flew out of his hand.
The Gu worm slowly flew under the gazes of six Gu Immortals, eight desolate beasts as well as the blue charm lightning shadow, and landed in He Feng Yang's hand.
He Feng Yang was uncertain and worried of Fang Yuan's scheme as he carefully accepted this mortal Gu.
This rank three Gu worm resembled a ladybug. It was the size of a large bowl, its head was extremely small while its stomach was so big that it occupied ninety-nine percent of its body.
Its stomach was round like a lamp bulb and was translucent. It did not have a carapace on its back and also did not have wings.
In its translucent stomach, there was a Gu.
"A Gu within a Gu?" Fairy Cang Yu softly mumbled.
This rank three mortal Gu was clearly a storage Gu worm, particularly with the purpose of storing Gu worms. These types of storage Gu worms were extremely common, it included examples like Earth Treasury Flower.
However, the Gu worm inside the belly made He Feng Yang's gaze fix on it as if it was glued. He then said with uncertain eyes: "This Gu inside… could it be guts Gu?"
Fang Yuan gave a bright smile: "That is exactly right!"
"What?" Fairy Cang Yu's beautiful eyes widened in astonishment.
She might know very little about guts Gu, but she knew guts Gu could not be taken out of Dang Hun mountain; if taken out, they would dissipate.
It was because of this that Fang Yuan was not willing to trade guts Gu before. Because if others wanted to use guts Gu, they would have to personally come to Dang Hun mountain. And letting so many outsiders enter Hu Immortal blessed land would no doubt be a huge threat to Fang Yuan's life.
This was the reason central continent's ten great ancient sects wanted to seize Dang Hun mountain. Guts Gu could not be taken out of Dang Hun mountain, thus taking control of Dang Hun mountain meant being in control of guts Gu.
However, the fact right in front on them showed that guts Gu could actually be stored and taken out of Dang Hun mountain.
Fairy Cang Yu soon recognized how much significance this unremarkable ladybug-like Gu worm carried; for a moment, her eyes were tightly affixed to it.
"This Gu worm, what is its name?" He Feng Yang looked up at Fang Yuan and asked with a slightly trembling tone.
Fang Yuan had in truth not thought of a name, and casually named it at this moment: "Airsac Gu."
He Feng Yang sank into silence.
In an instant, he thought of many things.
Immortal Crane Sect's higher ups had also made these attempts. Back then, many Gu Immortals had participated but it ended up in failure.
Now, success was in He Feng Yang's hand.
He Feng Yang's hands shivered slightly.
'If guts Gu could be taken out of Dang Hun mountain and exported to all places, treasure yellow heaven, Hai Shi blessed land, Central Continent, Southern Border, Northern Plains… how big of a profit would this be?'
'Something that even our Immortal Crane Sect could not research was successfully accomplished by the force behind Fang Yuan. What are their origins? Maybe they had planned for a long time and thought of every means to capture Hu Immortal blessed land, in order to engage in the business of guts Gu!'
'Fang Yuan did not attack, could it be that he wants to… with our Immortal Crane Sect…'
He Feng Yang was still considering when Fang Yuan spoke: "Since both guests are interested in my guts Gu, what do you think of doing this transaction?"
He Feng Yang's heart wavered!

Chapter 702: Accident, Assault of a Mysterious Gu Immortal
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Fang Yuan's suggestion moved He Feng Yang's heart.
When Fang Yuan launched the ambush and encircled He Feng Yang, he had thought that this operation was going to end in failure. In the best case scenario, he would use expand space Immortal Gu and break out of the encirclement forcefully after sustaining huge injuries.
Even if he consumed a lot of immortal essence during the process of escaping, he could not care about it. After all, comparing immortal essence and his life, the latter was much more important.
After returning to Immortal Crane Sect, He Feng Yang's life would definitely go downhill.
Immortal Crane Sect placed such great expectations on him, and he had even prepared for over a year, but he ended up failing. His rival, Gu Immortal Lei Tan, would definitely seek him out to mock him personally when he hears the news!
Second supreme elder would be utterly disappointed with him, and He Feng Yang might not be able to lift his head for several years after that. This loss could be a lifelong blemish, solely with just this failure, he would be mocked by countless people in the dark forever.
If he could establish the deal with Fang Yuan for guts Gu, to He Feng Yang, that would be many times better than breaking through the encirclement.
He Feng Yang assessed in his heart: "Hu Immortal blessed land has four Gu Immortals and eight desolate beasts, together with the territorial advantage, they are as secure as a fortress! Even though any of the ten great ancient sects have the capability to take this on, that is only speaking of capability. They might not be able to gather so many Gu Immortals here. Even if they could send Gu Immortals to attack Hu Immortal blessed land, a battle between Gu Immortals will expend a great amount of immortal essence and other resources."
"Even if they could get enough manpower and invest a lot into this battle, the other party also has Gu Immortals and can easily destroy Dang Hun mountain. By then, even if Hu Immortal blessed land was obtained, it would all be for nothing."
In the outside world, Great Heavenly Sword Sect had three Gu Immortals, and could attempt to leave one of the ten great ancient sects, Immortal Crane Sect.
This was because to deal with three Gu Immortals, the resources and manpower needed were something Immortal Crane Sect needed to consider. If they failed, not only would they suffer a loss in their reputation, this huge loss might also cause unrest within the sect, and trigger other problems.
Gu Immortals were easy to defeat, but they were hard to kill. Why would anyone who could reach this stage not have any means or trump cards to escape?
If they failed to kill him, they would utterly offend a Gu Immortal. A Gu Immortal that is holding grudges may cause trouble to mortals, with Immortal Crane Sect's huge size and wide range of assets, they would have to salvage the situation everywhere.
Now that Fang Yuan has displayed such a force, Immortal Crane Sect alone could no longer attack forcefully, unless the other sects cooperated with them. But if they cooperated, there would be issues in many aspects, regarding the allocation of benefits.
If He Feng Yang agrees to cooperate with Fang Yuan, they would establish trade for guts Gu, this result was not an utter failure.
That was because Immortal Crane Sect's main objective in taking down Hu Immortal blessed land was for the guts Gu.
Using the smallest price to obtain the biggest benefits, this was the issue that all of the supreme elders in Immortal Crane Sect were concerned about.
Before this, Immortal Crane Sect had already requested for Fang Yuan to initiate the sales of guts Gu.
"If we could establish a trade with the other party, I would not need to force my way out and risk injury, I can save a lot of immortal essence and have a proper justification when I return to the sect." He Feng Yang considered this option.
Fang Yuan observed his expression, even though He Feng Yang was a shrewd man and did not show emotions on his face, he was clearly moved due to how long he was considering this for.
Thus, Fang Yuan continued: "A hundred of my guts Gu will sell for one immortal essence stone in treasure yellow heaven. I will sell a hundred and twenty guts Gu to Immortal Crane Sect for each immortal essence stone. However, in return, I want your Immortal Crane Sect to acknowledge my Hu Immortal blessed land as your sect's subsidiary force. Furthermore, this subsidiary can detach from you at any time."
As long as he had this identity, the other nine great ancient sects would not be able to deal with Fang Yuan without involving Immortal Crane Sect. These were the rules of the righteous path, it was like making Immortal Crane Sect the big boss, while Hu Immortal blessed land was the lackey, you would need to ask the boss before hitting his lackeys.
He Feng Yang smiled insincerely as he spoke: "Fang Yuan, are you thinking of using my sect as your protection? With your force, you can definitely establish your own sect, right?"
"Nobody can set up a sect on Tian Ti mountain. I have no intention to leave this valuable spot." Fang Yuan laughed.
Tian Ti mountain had directly connected to Heavenly Court, even Gu Immortals did not dare to fight on this mountain. If Immortal Crane Sect did not declare Fang Yuan as a sect traitor and hold perfect reason to take him down, they would not dare to attack Hu Immortal blessed land.
"Furthermore, Hu Immortal blessed land becoming Immortal Crane Sect's subsidiary will also account for your sect's reputation, right?" Fang Yuan continued.
He Feng Yang fell into silence again.
A long while later, he sighed out: "This matter is very important, I cannot be in charge of the decision, allow me to return and report to the sect."
Fang Yuan nodded: "It would be best if brother He goes and explains it. But Fairy Cang Yu would need to remain as a guest here for a while longer."
He Feng Yang and Cang Yu made eye contact.
Fairy Cang Yu said: "Lord Feng Yang, go ahead and return, I will wait here."
"I will return quickly." He Feng Yang nodded solemnly at her, before looking deeply at Fang Yuan and his gang.
He wanted to engrave these people into the depths of his heart.
"Land spirit, open the door and let brother He out." Fang Yuan said with a concerned tone.
"Yes, master." Little Hu Immortal quickly replied.
On Tian Ti mountain, a brilliant white gold light formed.
In the light, a bright red door appeared, it was over thirty meters tall, and there was a rainbow colored plaque. Pink clouds gathered as the aurora condensed into a flight of stairs of light.
He Feng Yang came out of the door, when he left, it was through the proper exit of the blessed land.
This action quickly attracted the attention of the Gu Immortals of the other nine great sects.
They started to converse.
"He's out!"
"So fast? Don't tell me there was no resistance at all?"
"When He Feng Yang entered, he used the expand space Immortal Gu, but when he came out, it was through the main entrance. This is proof that he succeeded."
"Something's wrong, look at his face, there is no joy of victory, he looks more calm and composed instead."
Even though they were suspicious, none of them asked him directly.
This was a hidden contest between the ten great sects, a direct confrontation was damaging to their reputations.
He Feng Yang could not care about their feelings, he only wanted to return to Fei He mountain, to report this matter.
He flew quickly, traveling far from Tian Ti mountain in a moment's time.
He Feng Yang's brows were locked, he was indignant and suspicious: "Where did Fang Yuan's force come from? Other than Fang Yuan, the other three immortals all covered their faces with masks, and used Gu worms to block investigative methods, they evidently do not want to expose their identities. Why is that?"
"Don't tell me they are Gu Immortals from the other nine sects? They did not want our sect to obtain Dang Hun mountain, thus they secretly colluded with Fang Yuan beforehand?"
The moment he thought of this, He Feng Yang rejected this possibility.
Paper could not cover up a fire, secrets were temporary and would be outed, the nine great sects would not do such a thing, it was against the demeanor of one of the great sects.
"Then, are they Gu Immortals gathered from Central Continent's smaller sects?" He Feng Yang thought.
Central Continent had countless sects, other than the ten great ancient sects, there were large sized sects, middle sized sects, small sized sects, and mini sects. There were untold numbers of sects, within them, there naturally were some Gu Immortals.
If it had been them, then these Gu Immortal would all have foundations in Central Continent, to prevent their home sect from being suppressed or troubled by the ancient sects, they would not want to reveal their identities, that made sense.
"That's right, Fang Yuan has the fixed immortal travel Immortal Gu! These people might not be Central Continent Gu Immortals, they might be from other regions. The stronger the Gu Immortal, the harder it is to get past the regional walls. Every once in a while, they have to let out their aperture in the region that they became an immortal to recollect and gather heaven and earth qi to stabilize the blessed land. But with Fixed Immortal Travel, the other party can settle these problems easily!"
He Feng Yang's thoughts moved swiftly, he quickly guessed Fang Yuan and the other Gu Immortals' identities. But he had too little evidence, he could not confirm it.
"All in all, Hu Immortal blessed land is very mysterious and dangerous, before we find out their secrets, we cannot strike easily. This time, I suffered a huge loss, the root of the problem was that the enemy was in the dark while I was out in the open, we suffered from a lack of intel!"
He Feng Yang concluded his experience from this incident, but he suddenly stopped in the air.
"Who is this? You dare to ambush me here!" He Feng Yang quickly became alert, shouting.
"Hmm, you are very vigilant." A voice came from somewhere, it was high and low pitched at times, with a hoarse male voice that turned into a crisp female voice. Someone had evidently modified their voice with Gu worms.
Two figures appeared, one in front and one behind, they blocked He Feng Yang's paths.
What changed next was the sky. The bright, shiny and clear sky with no clouds turned dark and eerie, fog became thick as vengeful souls flew all over the place.
This was a battlefield killer move!
This was a battlefield environment created to amplify the effects of certain Gu worms.
This was not something ordinary Gu Immortals could have.
"I am Immortal Crane Sect's He Feng Yang, both of you are concealing your appearances and acting so secretive, what is your intention?" He Feng Yang shouted.
The two Gu Immortals before him were masked in a layer of dark light, their appearances could not be seen.
"So what if you are from Immortal Crane Sect?" The mysterious Gu Immortal in front of him laughed coldly.
The Gu Immortal behind him said directly: "We will kill you regardless!"
Just as they said that, the Gu Immortal struck.
Five fingers spread open and thousands of grey white threads appeared from the palm.
The threads got close to He Feng Yang, as his heart jumped, this was obviously a mortal killer move designed to trap people. Once he was entangled by these threads, it would be difficult to escape.
He Feng Yang quickly summoned the crane group.
Within his immortal aperture, there were large numbers of flying cranes, he brought them with him everywhere and he never lacked any troops.
The crane groups were huge in numbers, there were iron beak flying cranes, fire pellet cranes, tailwind cranes, cloud mist cranes, stellar light cranes, and illusion lightning cranes all mixed together in perfect harmony, forming a tight formation.
A desolate beast nine palace crane flew out, crying out and causing the surrounding fog to disperse.
He Feng Yang stepped onto the nine palace crane's back, his hair was fluttering as his gaze was like lightning, the anger within him had awakened: "Do you really think I am an easy target? Today, you will taste the fury of the Winged Crane Flying Immortal!"
As the threads flew to him, the iron beak flying crane group flew out and blocked them with their bodies.
The other mysterious Gu Immortal puffed up his cheeks and blew out huge flames. These flames were pale green, and in this battlefield, their power was amplified, causing many cranes to fall from the sky after getting burnt.
He Feng Yang was not to be outdone, he activated his enslavement path killer move.
Immediately, a group of illusion lightning cranes flew out, shooting lightning bolts that gathered and formed into a pillar, piercing the battlefield. Another group of fire pellet cranes flew out, their bodies covered in flames, burning their enemies.
Two groups of flying cranes charged towards the two mysterious Gu Immortals like a pair of giant fists.
Boom boom boom…
With an intense explosion, the two sides engaged in intense battle!

Chapter 703: Plot within plot, a fatal killer move
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
On the battlefield, the intense battle continued.
A large group of iron beak flying cranes, each with bodies black as steel, they had increased defense and did not fear death, they charged towards the two mysterious Gu Immortals fiercely.
One of the two mysterious Gu Immortals opened their mouth, as a loud sound came out of it, echoing everywhere.
This was a sound path killer move!
The iron beak flying crane group's formation went into chaos under the effect of the sound, their tight formation became loose and there were many weaknesses exposed.
"Go!" The other mysterious Gu Immortal saw a chance and grabbed the other person's limb, the two of them turning into two lumps of grey white flames, piercing the iron beak flying cranes' formation and moving towards He Feng Yang.
Against an enslavement path Gu Immortal, one should not fight intensely with their beast group, taking down the enslavement Gu Immortal was the proper battle tactic.
He Feng Yang saw that the enemy was approaching, not only was he not anxious, he showed a cold smile: "You fell into my trap."
He took out a five hole jade flute Gu, placing it near his mouth and started playing the flute. He looked like a green clothed young man, but he was actually the lord of myriads of beasts. His sleeves fluttered in the air despite having no wind, his eyes burst out with a lively brilliance.
Enslavement path killer move — Eight Sided Ambush!
Tens of thousands of flying cranes moved with his music, groups of invisible cranes that had hidden their figures exposed themselves, encircling the two mysterious Gu Immortals tightly.
He Feng Yang purposely left behind an empty space in the formation around himself, that was a trap to lead his enemies right into it.
Now that the other party had fallen for it, he did not let them off, as his flute continued to play, three five string zither Gu flew out of his body.
Amidst the music of the flute, the zither played a crisp tune, turning into another enslavement path killer move — Formation Like Water!
Innumerable flying cranes flew outward, while countless flying cranes flew towards the center.
The entire battlefield was like a perfect harmony of churning gears, the scale was massive but orderly, the flying cranes moved fluidly, their formation was changing like the flow of water.
The two mysterious Gu Immortals were within this formation, they saw the array of flying cranes changing their formation smoothly, they felt like beans in a stone grinder, about to be turned into pulp!
He Feng Yang continued to blow the flute, safely at the center of the beast group, standing on the back of the desolate crane, he watched the crane group engage with the two mysterious experts.
He thought in his heart: "Ever since we started fighting, these two have used countless killer moves, ranging from sound path, space path, fire path, wind path, light path, dark path, rule path and more, they were doing this on purpose, they did not want to use their real abilities and expose their identities."
When Gu Masters become immortals, according to the foundation of their bodies, as well as the Gu worm used to create their immortal aperture, they would be classified into Gu Immortals of their respective paths. There were fire path Gu Immortals, wind path Gu Immortals, wisdom path Gu Immortals and many others, forming the immortal bodies of the respective paths.
The immortal body is obtained when a Gu Masters ascends, their body will be modified by the three qi, removing all impurities and elevating the essence of their life itself.
A wind path immortal body will have the dao marks and comprehension of wind, thus when they use wind path Gu worms, the effect would be greater. A fire path immortal body would be cleansed by the Great Dao in relation to fire, it would be closely connected to fire path, and would cause fire path killer moves to be much more powerful than normal.
For example, Fang Yuan, although he was an immortal zombie, he was still a strength path Gu Immortal, his body was the strength path immortal body, thus when he used Gu worms and killer moves of other paths, the effects were only ordinary.
The two mysterious Gu Immortals trying to kill He Feng Yang did not use their real fighting methods, therefore, they were suppressed by him despite outnumbering him two to one.
"Are you two still trying to conceal your identities? If you do not use your true abilities, you might die here." He Feng Yang snickered continuously, his voice filled the battlefield.
The two mysterious Gu Immortals were breathing roughly, the attack of the crane groups were unceasing and furious like a tide, the two of them were tired from dealing with them.
Like what He Feng Yang said, if the two did not start using their real methods, they would truly get killed soon.
The two made eye contact as they nodded, making up their minds.
One of them sighed: "As expected of a reputed righteous sect. The might of the Winged Crane Flying Immortal, I have truly seen it today."
The other said: "However, even if we do not use our real capabilities, we can still kill you. He Feng Yang, take a look around you."
"Oh?" He Feng Yang's gaze quickly swept the surroundings.
Originally, it was a foggy scene, the battlefield was full of crying and anguished screams, but now there was a change.
Within the lumps of thick fog, dark blue soul beasts were formed. In just a few breaths of time, the number of soul beasts increased greatly, they were equally numbered with He Feng Yang's crane group.
"Is this… soul taker battlefield?" He Feng Yang's heart jumped, he said it subconsciously.
"Hehehe, Winged Crane Flying Immortal, you are very knowledgeable." The mysterious Gu Immortals laughed, their voices changing constantly, sounding like male or female at times.
He Feng Yang's expression turned grim.
This soul taker battlefield killer move had a vile reputation, it was very hard to deal with. Living beings who died in this battlefield would have their souls taken and transformed into soul beasts, under the control of the killer move's user.
Most importantly, this battlefield killer move's origin was huge, it was created by one of the ten venerables in history when he was young, Spectral Soul Demon Venerable who had the most murderous nature.
Who were these two mysterious Gu Immortals, they actually had a battlefield killer move, soul taker, that was long lost in history?!
Once the soul beasts appeared, they started fighting with the crane groups.
The battle situation changed.
He Feng Yang quickly manipulated the crane groups, changing formations to defend against the soul beasts. The two mysterious Gu Immortals felt less pressure now, and were able to rush out of the crane groups' encirclement.
The size of the soul beasts was the same as the crane group, but they could not defeat the cranes, often, ten soul beasts were sacrificed to kill one crane.
But He Feng Yang became increasingly alert in his heart, after the soul beasts were shredded into fragments, these fragments could form into new soul beasts in this soul taker battlefield.
Meanwhile, when a flying crane dies, its soul would be taken by the battlefield, forming a soul beast, becoming part of the enemy's troops. No matter how high He Feng Yang's cultivation was, he could not battle with zero casualties. Once he suffered losses, over a long period, the soul beasts would have the upper hand.
As this dragged on, He Feng Yang's advantage would dwindle, the crane groups would slowly be taken down by the soul beasts.
"He Feng Yang, just so you know, we expressed weakness earlier on purpose, to delay for time. Now that the soul taker battlefield has grown to a sizable amount, your enslavement path advantage is gone."
"Winged Crane Flying Immortal, today, you will perish here."
The two mysterious Gu Immortal worked together.
Wind path killer move — Tornado Dragon Whip!
With a wind whip that was hundreds of meters long, one of the Gu Immortals swung, killing countless flying cranes.
Poison path killer move — Killer Bee Stab!
Thousands of needles rained down like a torrential storm, the poison on them were very potent, any flying crane that was hit directly died on the spot, their flesh disintegrating.
The two mysterious Gu Immortals had finally showed their true abilities, one was a wind path Gu Immortal, while the other was a poison path Gu Immortal.
Large numbers of cranes were exterminated, their souls were extracted by the battlefield, forming new batches of soul beasts.
"Oh no, the enemy came prepared, they planned for this long ago, I cannot stay here." He Feng Yang saw this and wanted to retreat.
Only a fool would want to stay in the soul taker battlefield and fight it out with the enemy.
"This soul taker battlefield is filled with fog, it is easy to lose one's direction, it is hard to escape from. But right now, I have expand space Immortal Gu with me, it should not be hard to escape from here."
He Feng Yang thought about this and used his divine sense to communicate with a will in his immortal aperture.
This will was in the form of a burly man, when He Feng Yang left Fei He mountain earlier, it had entered his immortal aperture and had been observing the outside situation using his Gu worms.
All of He Feng Yang's experience this time, since he left Fei He mountain, in Hu Immortal blessed land, when he was encircled by Fang Yuan and the others, and after he left Hu Immortal blessed land and was trapped in the soul taker battlefield, attacked by two mysterious Gu Immortals. The will saw it all clearly.
He Feng Yang requested: "Lord Tiger Demon, please use your immortal killer move once again to break out of the battlefield and escape this place."
This will belonged to Immortal Crane Sect's third supreme elder, Lord Tiger Demon's anger will.
He sat in the air, opening his eyes emotionlessly: "You need to know that every time I use force intrusion, my main body will need to expend two red date immortal essence beads."
He Feng Yang quickly said: "Junior understand, I will make the appropriate compensation when we return."
Tiger Demon's anger will nodded, not speaking any further. He grabbed with his hand, tossing two red date immortal essence to the expand space Immortal Gu, at the same time, many mortal Gu rose up as well.
After a while of preparing, He Feng Yang opened his palm, taking out expand space Immortal Gu from his immortal aperture.
The Immortal Gu was covered in a yellow light, He Feng Yang patted it lightly.
The yellow light left his hands, breaking apart the soul taker battlefield and creating a hole.
He Feng Yang was overjoyed, he put back expand space Immortal Gu and the nine palace crane below his feet cried out, flapping its wings and bringing him out of soul taker battlefield.
Outside the battlefield, it was clear skies with no clouds.
"Oh no! He actually had expand space Immortal Gu, he's escaping!"
"He Feng Yang, don't run if you have the guts, let us battle for three hundred rounds!"
The shouts of the two Gu Immortals behind him had a tone of anxiety and panic.
He Feng Yang laughed heartily, his heart was filled with pride: "Even soul taker battlefield cannot contain me. No matter who you are, ambushing and attempting to kill me, I will remember this. Don't think I will not find out just because you hid your identity, you used your own killer moves. When I return to the sect, I will investigate, I will definitely find out who you really are! Eh? Oh no!"
Suddenly, He Feng Yang sensed something amiss, his expression changed.
He had always been a vigilant person and had great self control, how could his emotions become so overjoyed the moment he left the soul taker battlefield, like he had just won a battle?
This time, he failed to take back Hu Immortal blessed land, he had let down Lord Tiger Demon's nurturing and expectations, he should feel downcast instead.
"Oh no!" An intense warning of danger rose in his heart, He Feng Yang turned around, only to see a Gu Immortal as tiny as a little boy, his body covered in a dark light. He was holding a dagger shaped Gu worm, he was right behind He Feng Yang, less than a foot away.
A third Gu Immortal!
There was a third Gu Immortal in ambush!
This was their true killer move, a plot within a plot! While He Feng Yang's mind relaxed the moment he left the soul taker battlefield, the fatal strike was launched at him!
He Feng Yang was furious and shocked, his eyes were blood red and he was extremely angry, he did not retreat, instead, he had the urge to fight to the death with the enemy.
"Quickly dodge! The enemy is an emotion path Gu Immortal, they can interfere with your judgment by influencing your emotions!" Within his immortal aperture, Tiger Demon's anger will was shouting.
"Hehehe, it is too late." The third Gu Immortal raised their dagger, stabbing at He Feng Yang.
The dagger shaped Gu worm burst out with an intense Immortal Gu aura.
He Feng Yang was horror stricken and full of grievances.
The enemy had an attack type Immortal Gu?!
He only had an expand space Immortal Gu, it could not help him. The defensive mortal killer moves he had could not block this attack type Immortal Gu!

Chapter 704: Little Nine
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The dagger shaped Immortal Gu was about to pierce into him; He Feng Yang felt anger, fear, bewilderment, unresignedness, all kinds of feelings seethed in him like lava, greatly influencing his actions.
"Am I going to die here today?" He Feng Yang involuntarily had this thought.
However, right at this dangerous moment, the desolate beast nine palace crane under his feet suddenly let out a clear cry before fiercely turning its body around.
He Feng Yang's body was thrown down while the nine palace crane blocked the ambushing Gu Immortal.
Plop.
A soft sound echoed, the dagger shaped Immortal Gu ruthlessly pierced into the nine palace crane's chest.
"Eh?" The third Gu Immortal showed a shocked expression.
He had thought disturbing He Feng Yang could influence the nine palace crane. After all, He Feng Yang was an enslavement path Gu Immortal and the nine palace crane had been enslaved by him. If he was influenced, the nine palace crane should also be nothing to worry about.
He activated several emotion path killer moves to heavily disturb He Feng Yang, but he had never expected that at the last juncture, this nine palace crane would actually move to protect its master.
"Little nine!" He Feng Yang saw the nine palace crane taking the fatal strike, tears immediately streamed down his eyes as he gave a pained roar.
He had raised this nine palace crane with great care and had never used any enslavement methods on it.
Back when he was young, he had been brutally chased when out on a mission. His life was hanging in the balance when he accidentally bumped into the similarly heavily injured nine palace crane.
After this coincidental and accidental meeting, he and the nine palace crane helped each other to escape the plight.
The nine palace crane was on the verge of death, He Feng Yang brought it back to the sect and used all of his wealth, barely managing to stabilize its life.
In the dozens of years afterwards, He Feng Yang braved many dangers to earn money to treat the nine palace crane little by little, slowly pulling it out from the brink of death.
A profound sentiment more intimate than brothers was established like this between a man and a crane.
Later an accident occurred, the rank five Gu Master He Feng Yang had failed his mission and was in a heavily injured state. The resources on him could only save one person. If he treated the nine palace crane, he would die, but if he saved himself, the nine palace crane would not be able to maintain its lingering vitality.
At the juncture of this choice, He Feng Yang thought for three days and three nights, in the end, he decided to sacrifice himself to save the nine palace crane!
This action caused third supreme elder, Lord Tiger Demon, to be moved, and with his help, both He Feng Yang and the nine palace crane were saved.
He Feng Yang lived up to his expectations and after becoming a Gu Immortal, he joined Lord Tiger Demon's faction.
The nine palace crane let out a mournful cry. Its enormous and slender body was covered with a layer of grey light. In this grey light, its body was rapidly shrinking and becoming younger, from a mature age it continuously turned to its youth, then to its infancy.
This was the power of the Immortal Gu!
The dagger shaped Immortal Gu was actually a time path Immortal Gu that could reverse the target's body to a younger state.
"Retreat. Don't let down your friend's kind intention." In his immortal aperture, Tiger Demon's anger will heaved a long sigh.
"Little nine!" He Feng Yang shouted furiously and went back regardless of the advice of Tiger Demon's anger will.
The hems of his gown fluttered and moved, turning into a crane feather cloak. A blood red glint blossomed in his eyes and his slender green brows moved nimbly like a snake or dragon.
The mysterious Gu Immortal showed a surprised expression.
He had not thought He Feng Yang who could have clearly escaped in the moment just before would actually return with killing intent.
He Feng Yang was an enslavement path Gu Immortal!
He Feng Yang pushed forward his palms from which jade green lightning rays surged out.
The mysterious Gu Immortal snorted, he raised the dagger and confronted it head-on, simultaneously activating emotion path killer moves to influence He Feng Yang's emotions.
However, He Feng Yang's heart was filled completely with anger and was unexpectedly not influenced.
Bam!
A loud explosion erupted and the mysterious Gu Immortal was thrown back. He Feng Yang's body trembled intensely and blood spurted out of his mouth, but he forcibly pulled himself together and pulled the infant nine palace crane into his hands.
"Little nine!" He Feng Yang held the nine palace crane in his embrace and turned around, escaping immediately with no intent to stay.
The nine palace crane had already become the size of a white goose and was softly twittering as He Feng Yang held it in his embrace.
The emotion path Gu Immortal had been sent some distance away, that gap was enough for him to be unable to chase He Feng Yang in this moment.
The other two mysterious Gu Immortals hurried over after canceling the soul taker battlefield.
"Sigh, he escaped in the end!" The wind path Gu Immortal heaved a long sigh in pity.
"This guy is clearly an enslavement path Gu Immortal but he is actually not weak in close combat. That green lightning killer move isn't what it appears to be, it makes me think of…" The emotion path Gu Immortal said.
"Hmph, if not for lacking time to gather more people, would we be afraid of not being able to put him down? How about we chase, maybe we can…." The poison path Gu Immortal was not resigned.
"He has expand space Immortal Gu, soul taker battlefield cannot trap him. Let's leave quickly, it is not convenient to stay here." The wind path Gu Immortal was calm.
"Right, this ambush was nothing more than a hastily considered course of action. We absolutely cannot lose sight of the main goal for small gains and risk exposing our identities, which would affect master's grand plan. We will retreat!" The emotion path Gu Immortal ceased his absent-mindedness, and said softly.
His position seemed to be higher than the other two Gu Immortals and his words had a tone of decisiveness.
"I shall take my leave." The wind path Gu Immortal rapidly flew in the air and soon was no more than a small black dot in the horizon.
"Hmph!" The poison path Gu Immortal dropped into the ground and escaped.
The emotion path Gu Immortal paused for a while until the other two had completely left, his body then disappeared in the air as if he had never been there.
He Feng Yang flew at top speed to Fei He mountain, and without stopping, he directly entered Fu Hu blessed land.
Lord Tiger Demon was standing beside an enormous stone pit, looking at the tens of thousands of rockmen working inside the pit.
"Junior was incompetent and let down Lord's expectations." He Feng Yang bowed in greeting to Lord Tiger Demon, his body filled with injuries and his expression one of shame.
"You got injured? First go take a rest and heal yourself." Lord Tiger Demon did not ask anything to He Feng Yang and only waved his hand, that anger will in He Feng Yang's immortal aperture flew out and entered his mind.
In just an instant, he understood all the things He Feng Yang had experienced in this trip.
His gaze flickered, shortly afterwards, he activated anger will Gu to produce anger will.
The anger will flew through the sky, out of Fu Hu blessed land and towards the peak of Fei He mountain. When it reached the conference hall at the mountain peak, three wills that were left here came after sensing it.
These three wills were respectively from first supreme elder, second supreme elder and the third supreme elder, Lord Tiger Demon, they were in charge of monitoring the sect and also handling some small matters.
The major matters were also arranged and at every set period of time, they would gather a group of Gu Immortals to hold a joint discussion on them.
Tiger Demon's anger will landed in the hall and fused with its previous will, then narrated the events that occurred to He Feng Yang.
The first and second supreme elders' wills sank into silence when they heard the narration. They started to rapidly think which caused their bodies to shrink at a visible speed.
When they had shrunken to almost half the previous size, second supreme elder's will said: "Let's allow Lord Tiger Demon to have the final decision on the matters of Hu Immortal blessed land."
First supreme elder's will spoke: "He Feng Yang was ambushed and almost killed, this is much more serious than Hu Immortal blessed land. Where was he ambushed?"
A Gu worm flew out from the hall and turned into a map made of light and shadow.
"Here." Lord Tiger Demon's anger will pointed at the location.
First supreme elder's will nodded and spoke heavily: "This location is a very good place to lay an ambush. There is no force situated both in front and behind, and this makes it a very good place of concealment. It seems the ambushers are very familiar with Central Continent's terrain."
"Investigate! When has there been anyone that had the guts to try to kill our ten great ancient sects' Gu Immortals?" Second supreme elder's will shouted in rage.
"My concern is this. Elders, where do you think these Gu Immortals came from?" Lord Tiger Demon's anger will asked.
First supreme elder's and second supreme elder's wills glanced at each other, both revealing heavy expressions.
"Third elder is worried these Gu Immortals are Central Continent Gu Immortals?" First supreme elder said quietly.
Tiger Demon's anger will spoke frankly with confidence: "Right. How long have our ten great ancient sects been in control of Central Continent? The situation has been getting increasingly harder over these recent years, why is that? Our Central Continent is different from the other four regions. Led by Primordial Origin Immortal Venerable, Central Continent had already been reformed during the Remote Antiquity Era, establishing the sect system. During the Remote Antiquity Era, sects had been rare. In Olden Antiquity Era, clan forces surpassed sect forces. In Medieval Antiquity Era, sects and clans clashed against each other, and advanced at an equal pace. In Late Antiquity Era, clans weakened while sects flourished. And now, sects stand in great numbers in Central Continent while there are almost no clans."
"The clan system only selects the clan's children as Gu Masters. The sect system, however, allows ordinary mortals to step on the path of Gu cultivation. Our Central Continent's history is filled with the conflicts between the two great systems. After going through over three million years of struggles, evolution and accumulation, the sect system has prevailed; the number of Central Continent Gu Immortals far surpass the other four regions and they continue to increase, and soon will leave the control of our ten great sects."
"How many Gu Immortals can our ten great sects recruit? The number of other Gu Immortals in Central Continent are several times our own! As these Gu Immortals of other sects, demonic path Gu Immortals and lone cultivator Gu Immortals continue to cultivate, they would require more cultivation resources. Conflicts are unavoidable because our ten great sects control eighty percent of cultivation resources in Central Continent."
"Have there not been cases like Great Heavenly Sword Sect before? It is just that they were secretly suppressed by our ten great ancient sects. But in these recent years, new sects are still emerging unendingly, new innovations and new schools of thought are common occurrences, uncommon geniuses and monstrous talents are constantly sprouting among the mortals while there are limited spots in our ten great ancient sects. Despite recruiting exceptional talents every year, Central Continent is truly too big."
Lord Tiger Demon's anger will sighed as he said this.
The two supreme elders were silent all along.
The ten great ancient sects held control of eighty percent of Central Continent's resources, but after the resources were split amongst everyone, how much would be left behind for individual Gu Immortals?
As a Gu Immortal's cultivation got higher, their blessed land would require more resources to manage. In particular, the heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities would also continue to become stronger, and after every tribulation, the losses would be very severe, and the price to repair it would continue to become higher.
It was impossible for the ten great ancient sects' Gu Immortals to share their resources to others.
In the past, although there were many sects outside of the ten great sects, there were not many Gu Immortals. Immortal and mortal were different concepts, there was a wide gap in the strength between mortals and immortals, thus mortals could be suppressed.
But at present, the Gu Immortals outside of the ten great sects were increasing constantly in numbers. Although these Gu Immortals usually had inferior battle strength, their vast numbers were enough to bring about an impact to the ten great ancient sects.
Great Heavenly Sword Sect was a good example. This large sized sect had two Gu Immortals originally and was a vassal of Immortal Crane Sect. Now, that they had a third Gu Immortal, they immediately planned to leave Immortal Crane Sect and be independent.

Chapter 705: Immortal Slaughtering Plan, Fang Yuan distributes benefits
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lord Tiger Demon's anger will continued: "These years, our ten great ancient sects have been in difficult circumstances, we could be said to be treading on thin ice. It is as if we are blocking the top of a volcano, the magma underneath will eventually burst out one day, causing a major impact to our ten great sects!"
"Third supreme elder is talking about the general situation in Central Continent right now. But this is the situation of the whole region, how can we change it?" Second supreme elder's will sighed.
Lord Tiger Demon's will continued: "Great Heavenly Sword Sect's example is in front of us. The Gu Immortals in Hu Immortal blessed land could be from other regions, but they are most likely to be an alliance of lone cultivators in our region. The ones who ambushed He Feng Yang today might also be Gu Immortals of our own region's forces. But if that is the case, it would be terrifying."
Second supreme elder nodded: "It is indeed like that. The force that attacked He Feng Yang obviously does not want Hu Immortal blessed land to continue being in the hands of Fang Yuan. If He Feng Yang dies, Immortal Crane Sect will have to attack Hu Immortal blessed land forcefully to defend our reputation. Even though it is obvious that they are framed, Immortal Crane Sect has no choice but to go along with it."
The ten great ancient sects' pride and reputation that had been defended for innumerable years cannot be tarnished. If they could not take revenge for the death of their own Gu Immortals, then their reputation would be ruined, the hearts of the people would waver, and everyone would be emboldened to offend Immortal Crane Sect. If Immortal Crane Sect is under such problems, they would not be able to manage their resources and land within Central Continent. By then, Immortal Crane Sect would be worn out physically and mentally, their exhaustion would attract even more greedy jackals and wolves.
This would be a vicious cycle, once they fall into it, it would be hard to recover.
Immortal Crane Sect's top three supreme elders were all experienced people, they were old monsters with bountiful life experience, they had considered this terrifying future prospect already.
Not just them, among the other nine great ancient sects of Central Continent, there were sure to be people who understood this.
Right now, Central Continent was becoming saturated with experts, but there were limited resources, it was like a powder keg that was expanding endlessly. The ten great ancient sects were sitting on top of the keg, if they were careless and ignited it, they might be blown to pieces.
"Tiger Demon, you used this topic today to start a long discussion, I'm sure you have some insights to share with us. Why not just tell us straight away." First supreme elder said.
Tiger Demon's anger will laughed, saying startling things: "My current idea is to agree with Fang Yuan's conditions and acknowledge that Hu Immortal blessed land is a subsidiary of our sect. At the same time, we will find out the true identities of the culprits who attacked He Feng Yang. Once we know which lone cultivators are ganging up, we will collaborate with the other nine sects and engage in a wide scale immortal slaughtering plan!"
"Immortal slaughtering?!" Second supreme elder heard this and excitement shined in his eyes.
First supreme elder's will shut his eyes, he slowly said: "Tiger Demon, I will not hide it from you. This suggestion of yours had been brought up by Combat Immortal Sect's Gu Immortal Shi Lei many years ago, he had even sent a proposal to Heavenly Court, requesting for Heavenly Court to come out and organize the ten great ancient sects, in order to execute this plan."
"Oh, that Immortal Monkey King? Even though our ten great ancient sects have had changes throughout history, the root of all these changes were righteous reasons, like the interchanging of main and side branches, these all have much to do with Heavenly Court. If the ten ancient sects engage in a slaughter of immortals, it would have huge implications and involve innumerable benefits. Only Heavenly Court can step in to convince and assemble everyone, leading us towards victory!" Tiger Demon's anger will agreed.
"But Heavenly Court rejected this proposal. They even warned us ten great ancient sects not to specially target the respective smaller sects and lone cultivator Gu Immortals, we are not to consciously massacre them, violators would be heavily punished." First supreme elder's will said.
"What?" Tiger Demon's anger will shouted in shock.
"This matter, how did I not know about it?" Second supreme elder muttered to himself.
First supreme elder sighed loudly, looking at the sky: "The will of Heavenly Court is heaven's will. Heaven's will cannot be defied, heaven's will cannot be anticipated."
He Feng Yang returned to Hu Immortal blessed land once again.
Fairy Cang Yu and Fang Yuan were walking on Dang Hun mountain, observing the growth of the guts Gu.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng looked from afar, staring at Fairy Cang Yu.
Meanwhile, that blue charm lightning shadow was encircled by the eight desolate beasts, once in a while, a different desolate beast would go up and fight it, they were taking turns to wear it down.
"Brother He was a bit slow." Fang Yuan saw He Feng Yang and smiled while saying plainly.
He Feng Yang and Fairy Cang Yu first looked at each other, seeing her nod and hint that she was unharmed, he turned to Fang Yuan: "My sect has already agreed to acknowledge your side as our sect's subsidiary. The relationship would have no time limit, and you can leave at any time. At the same time, we will engage in the trading of guts Gu, the price will be one immortal essence stone for a hundred and twenty guts Gu. This is the rank six Immortal Gu, Promise."
Immortal Gu Promise was an information path Gu worm, its use was similar to mountain pledge Gu and sea oath Gu.
Immediately, He Feng Yang activated the Immortal Gu to make a promise.
When it was Fang Yuan's turn, he received the Immortal Gu and checked that there were no issues, he consumed his green grape immortal essence and made a promise as well.
Their promises created material forms that resembled lumps of gold, the two sides exchanged with each other to keep a copy each.
Fairy Cang Yu finally breathed out a sigh of relief, now that the transaction had been established, she was finally safe.
Fang Yuan breathed out in relief too, the situation that he had been trying to resolve had finally reached this stage. Fighting to the death with Immortal Crane Sect was definitely impossible. Immortal Crane Sect was a huge organization, if he angered them, Hu Immortal blessed land would certainly be lost. With Fang Yuan's finances, he could not sustain a huge battle against Gu Immortal level opponents.
But He Feng Yang's words quickly earned his attention: "On the way back, I was ambushed by three Gu Immortals and my life was almost lost. The other party evidently wants to frame you, our sect is investigating it now, I wonder if your force had offended anyone?"
"What? In Central Continent, there were actually Gu Immortals who dared to kill a Gu Immortal from the ten great sects?" Fang Yuan did not conceal his shock.
He remembered clearly that such situations would only happen a while after the five regions chaotic war started.
By then, the five regions would be in chaos, mortals would face difficulties living and battles would be unceasing.
Even the authority of Heavenly Court was useless, the ten great sects' Gu Immortals all faced assassinations, there were those who were taking revenge from the other four regions, but also Central Continent's own lone cultivator Gu Immortals who were trying to fish for benefits.
As the situation became more and more chaotic, Fang Yuan could even bring a band of demonic path Gu Immortals to attack Hu Immortal blessed land on Tian Ti mountain, killing Feng Jin Huang eventually.
Unknowingly, Fang Yuan thought about the mysterious force that plotted against him secretly in treasure yellow heaven over a year ago.
But he did not even know what this force was called, even if he knew, he would not expose such information to He Feng Yang.
Thus, he shook his head: "I have been in Hu Immortal blessed land for this period of time, how could I offend other forces? I have no intentions to offend brother He, but thinking about it, Immortal Crane Sect probably attracts more enemies than me, was it a force trying to plot against your sect, but wanting to use me as a diversion instead?"
He Feng Yang did not get the information he wanted, he was a little disappointed but he could not force Fang Yuan.
Immortal Crane Sect had their own worries, even though Fang Yuan was only an immortal zombie, the force behind him allowed the two sides to speak on equal terms.
He Feng Yang and Fairy Cang Yu did not stay any longer, Fang Yuan opened Hu Immortal blessed land's door and sent them out.
Fang Yuan stood at the door, saying goodbye to them.
The other nine sects who saw this immediately realized that something had occurred in Hu Immortal blessed land.
"What is going on? Why is there an immortal zombie?"
"He Feng Yang and Fairy Cang Yu came with great confidence, but now their expression are not quite right, it seems a problem occurred!"
"Did they fail to take it down? That's impossible, right."
The Gu Immortals were confused, they were guessing randomly.
The ten great ancient sects were in cahoots, they were the overlords of Central Continent, over these last years there was unavoidably no lack of hidden competition among themselves. The contest of Hu Immortal blessed land was at first an open competition, using disciples from each sect to decide the eventual owner, but the result was that Fang Yuan actually took advantage. Now, it was a hidden contest, they could not question Immortal Crane Sect in public, that would break the unspoken rules.
The Gu Immortals did not know what happened to Hu Immortal blessed land, they were hesitant to return.
Fang Yuan closed the door, as Hei Lou Lan and Fairy Li Shan came to congratulate him with smiles on their faces.
"Fang Yuan, you have caused me to look at you in a different light. This time, the collaboration between you and Immortal Crane Sect succeeded without any battle, it was truly a great victory." Fairy Li Shan was full of praise.
This was the type of victory that Gu Immortals loved the most.
Without any battles, without any huge investments, but the rewards were simply incredible.
"Senior is not entirely correct." Fang Yuan laughed heartily: "It is not me who is collaborating with Immortal Crane Sect, it is us. After all, to refine the airsac Gu, we will need Hei Lou Lan's strength qi Gu to muster the strength qi. As for the profits of the guts Gu, your side will take forty percent, my side will take sixty."
Fairy Li Shan heard this and the smile on her face intensified. As long as one was not a fool, they could see the prospects of the transaction of guts Gu.
She understood clearly that Fang Yuan's action was to stabilize their alliance completely, to bind them to Dang Hun mountain itself. In the future, when Hu Immortal blessed land is attacked, they would need to come and defend it too.
But with such great benefits, Fairy Li Shan could not help but be moved.
Hei Lou Lan looked at Fang Yuan deeply: "To think that you had this method, Fang Yuan, conceptualizing the airsac Gu. To refine the rank three airsac Gu, you need to use the rank six strength qi Gu. This Gu is truly very special."
A part of this was definitely due to wisdom Gu's credit.
After obtaining wisdom Gu, Fang Yuan had been conceptualizing, to see if there was a way to extract guts Gu under the help of unlimited inspiration.
The success this time was also because he had unexpectedly heard from Tai Bai Yun Sheng that Hei Lou Lan had the strength qi Immortal Gu.
Only an immortal class strength could envelop the guts Gu, allowing it to leave Dang Hun mountain unscathed.
Fang Yuan changed the topic: "To produce guts Gu, we will need huge amounts of souls, I will have to trouble the two of you."
"Northern Plains is a land of battles, chaotic wars happen all the time, and beast groups and tribes relocate constantly. There are surely many souls that can be collected there. We will go and settle this now." Hei Lou Lan wanted to act immediately.
After she ascended to an immortal, her need for resources had become much greater, especially in terms of immortal essence stones, she could not always rely on Fairy Li Shan.
Relying on others was not Hei Lou Lan's style.
Fairy Li Shan agreed: "That's right, Dang Hun mountain does not have any requirements for the type of soul. We can even buy them from Northern Plains Zombie Alliance, it will be more expensive than collecting the souls ourselves, but the price would be acceptable and we can save lots of trouble."
"Hehehe." Fang Yuan waved a hand: "Please hold on for a moment, don't be too anxious now. Now, come with me to suppress a Gu Immortal. This Gu Immortal is inside Hu Immortal blessed land right now."
"Oh? Who?" Tai Bai Yun Sheng questioned.
"There are other Gu Immortals hiding in the blessed land now? Is it an ambush by Immortal Crane Sect, having ulterior motives?" Hei Lou Lan and Fairy Li Shan looked at each other with confused and shocked expressions.

Chapter 706: Extorting an Immortal Gu Remnant Recipe
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Fang Yuan smiled mysteriously: "This immortal is right under our noses, please follow me."
Under Fang Yuan's lead, everyone came before the blue charm lightning shadow.
The blue charm lightning shadow right now was fighting in the air with the iron crown eagle, its small blue figure was colliding with the desolate beast iron crown eagle's huge body, fighting evenly back and forth.
Hei Lou Lan was even more uncertain now: "The Gu Immortal you are talking about is the blue charm lightning shadow?"
Fang Yuan smiled and did not respond.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng's eyes shone with brilliance: "Now that you've mentioned it, this blue charm lightning shadow is acting really strangely."
"That's right." Fairy Li Shan showed a wary and vigilant expression: "Logically speaking, the blue charm lightning shadow was formed from an earthly calamity, its main target would be the owner of Hu Immortal blessed land, which is you, Fang Yuan. But it has been engaging with these desolate beasts all this time, it had no intentions to attack you."
Hei Lou Lan continued: "No wonder I felt that it was strange, when the desolate beast appeared, this blue charm lightning shadow seemed to have been shocked, it stopped growling and started to conceal its presence. This blue charm lightning shadow is weird, I'm sure it is not normal!"
"Hehehe." Fang Yuan laughed heartily, saying: "The blue charm lightning shadow in the past had no issues, but after it was sent out of the blessed land by me, it was captured by a lightning path Gu Immortal, and was refined into some sort of puppet killer move. When Immortal Crane Sect came to attack my blessed land, this Gu Immortal manipulated the blue charm lightning shadow into barging in, his objective was to fish for benefits. If Immortal Crane Sect failed, he could show up as a representative of his sect, and strike first. I wonder if my analysis is correct, Myriad Dragon Dock's Vicious Lightning Fiend?"
"How did you know that I am Vicious Lightning Fiend?!" The blue charm lightning shadow could not put up a facade any longer, he ignored the iron crown eagle and flew to Fang Yuan.
The iron crown eagle chased it, but Fang Yuan waved a hand, the eagle screeched and flew away.
"Myriad Dragon Dock's Vicious Lightning Fiend?" Hei Lou Lan and Fairy Li Shan looked at each other, they knew about Myriad Dragon Dock, it was one of the ten great ancient sects of Central Continent, just like Immortal Crane Sect. But who Vicious Lightning Fiend was, they did not have much of an idea.
Only Tai Bai Yun Sheng's eyes shone brightly, after coming to Hu Immortal blessed land, he had collected a lot of information upon Fang Yuan's advice, he knew a lot of intelligence about Central Continent's Gu Immortals.
"Vicious Lightning Fiend is a rank six Gu Immortal, he has passed two heavenly tribulations and had an amazing history of ending in a draw after fighting with a rank seven Gu Immortal. But many years ago, he had entered closed cultivation. There had been no traces of him these last few years in Central Continent." Tai Bai Yun Sheng introduced.
"A draw with a rank seven Gu Immortal?" Fairy Li Shan's gaze shone.
Hei Lou Lan had a proud and arrogant demeanor as she snorted coldly.
The blue charm lightning shadow looked at everyone, but eventually his gaze locked onto Fang Yuan: "Who are you guys? My immortal killer move was the fruit of my many years of closed cultivation, after thinking of how to raise my battle strength. A year ago, I learned that there was a blue charm lightning shadow on Tian Ti mountain, it was lurking around there and did not want to leave, thus I struck secretly and captured the blue charm lightning shadow. A few months ago, I perfected my immortal killer move, making this blue charm lightning shadow my puppet. I have only told this secret to a few people. You guys actually know about this in detail! Tell me, who in the world are you?"
Fang Yuan snorted, he said very unkindly: "Vicious Lightning Fiend, you might have a fierce reputation, but we are not afraid of you. You made the blue charm lightning shadow into your puppet, I'm sure you paid a heavy price for that. I am in a bad mood, you should be careful, otherwise if I get angry, I will kill this blue charm lightning shadow right here, can you stop me?"
The blue charm lightning shadow shouted out angrily, he showed his irascible nature: "You dare! I am a Gu Immortal of Myriad Dragon Dock! Don't think you can continue to be arrogant, it is only temporarily that you are occupying Hu Immortal blessed land, once your identities are exposed, we, the ten great ancient sects, will make sure all of you lone cultivators and demonic cultivators are done for."
"Oh? Is that so…" Fang Yuan's eyes shone with brilliance: "You saw our earlier transaction clearly, we are already a subsidiary of Immortal Crane Sect, we have both made a promise, even if Myriad Dragon Dock wants to deal with us, you will need to get past Immortal Crane Sect first. That's right, that's right, earlier, Immortal Crane Sect's He Feng Yang was attacked, the mastermind was you, or rather, Myriad Dragon Dock. right?"
"Bullshit! We of the ten great ancient sects are on the same side, even if we compete with each other both openly and secretly, how could we do things without limits like you lone cultivators with demonic natures?" The blue charm lightning shadow was furious.
Fang Yuan did not speak, he glanced over at Hei Lou Lan.
Hei Lou Lan was a formidable character just like him, they cooperated flawlessly, she pretended to jump to a realization, saying: "Fang Yuan, you are absolutely right. Hu Immortal blessed land, Dang Hun mountain, and guts Gu are extremely huge benefits. After assassinating He Feng Yang, Immortal Crane Sect will come to attack us. By then, when we both suffer great losses, Myriad Dragon Dock will be able to take advantage of the situation."
"You're bullshitting! Bullshit! How can I be such a petty person!!" The blue charm lightning shadow's anger was through the roof, he shouted unceasingly.
Hei Lou Lan laughed sinisterly: "But the timing in which you appeared was simply too coincidental. When He Feng Yang attacked Hu Immortal blessed land, all the events that happened in here, how could the outside world know? Why did He Feng Yang encounter an assassination the moment he left Hu Immortal blessed land? Obviously, you were an insider and used some special method to inform your main body, who then organized the ambush."
Hei Lou Lan fully expressed her twisted logic, her words shocked the blue charm lightning shadow.
But immediately after, he reacted, turning angry from shame, rebuking: "Hu Immortal blessed land is a separate piece of heaven and earth, unless I have an immortal killer move, how could I communicate with my main body? But if I use an immortal killer move, such intense immortal aura would be detected by you guys, isn't that right?"
"But there was a moment when Hu Immortal blessed land opened its doors, that way, we were connected to the outside world. You communicated with your main body at that very point in time." Hei Lou Lan immediately retorted.
"Scumbag! Bullshit! I am honorable and righteous, how can I be like that? No, no, I was almost tricked by you. How can He Feng Yang's ambush have anything to do with my blue charm lightning shadow sending out information? Even if the other party did not know what happened in Hu Immortal blessed land, they can still ambush He Feng Yang. There is no relationship between the two issues!" The blue charm lightning shadow screamed.
Hei Lou Lan said eerily: "Whether a relationship exists, we do not care about that. We will tell this to Immortal Crane Sect, you can explain things to them yourself."
"Go ahead and tell them. I have not done any of the things you've said, why would I be afraid of slander?" The blue charm lightning shadow tried to put up a front.
At this time, Tai Bai Yun Sheng said: "Oh! I remember now, recently in Immortal Crane Sect's region of control, wasn't there the matter of Great Heavenly Sword Sect trying to gain independence? There had been rumors that the matter of Great Heavenly Sword Sect was instigated by Myriad Dragon Dock. Hehe, I get it. After killing He Feng Yang, Immortal Crane Sect's main forces will come and attack our blessed land. In that case, it will be even easier for Great Heavenly Sword Sect to detach from Immortal Crane Sect. After Great Heavenly Sword Sect joins Myriad Dragon Dock, and become your subsidiary, Immortal Crane Sect's territory at the northwest area will be devoured by Myriad Dragon Dock. By then, even if they taken down Hu Immortal blessed land, they will suffer a huge loss in battle strength, if they return and want to settle the matter with Myriad Dragon Dock, it would be too late, and they would not have the strength to do so."
Tai Bai Yun Sheng's words not only shocked the blue charm lightning shadow, even Fang Yuan was looking at him in surprise.
Although Tai Bai Yun Sheng was a good person and had been kind in his life, he was old and experienced, his words were like a dagger stabbing into the heart of the matter, he directly pointed out Vicious Lightning Fiend's weakness.
The blue charm lightning shadow finally became quiet.
After a dozen breaths of time, he said: "Damn, you bunch of scheming scoundrels, you are simply twisting logic as you like, you're making things up! Say it, what is the condition for letting go of my lightning shadow puppet?"
Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng did not speak, they looked at Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan laughed lightly, saying a ridiculous condition: "Vicious Lightning Fiend, I am very interested in this immortal killer move that can turn the blue charm lightning shadow into a puppet. Why don't you teach me."
"Screw you! This is a trump card that I finally came up with after four years of closed cultivation! With just a few words from you, you want to take the fruits of my labor, it will only happen in your dreams! Even if this puppet is destroyed, I will not give it to you!!" The blue charm lightning shadow shouted in anger, categorically rejecting this.
But Fang Yuan had his previous life's memories, he was carrying out a plan based on them and knew about Vicious Lightning Fiend's bottom line.
He chuckled as he said slowly: "Vicious Lightning Fiend, your immortal killer move was only created in a rush, the success rate is definitely not high. The blue charm lightning shadow has rank six battle strength, isn't it such a waste to discard it here? How about this, I will take a step back, I do not want your immortal killer move, I want the Blood Deity remnant recipe that you have."
The blue charm lightning shadow's expression was grim: "How did you know that I have Blood Deity's remnant recipe? There are only a small number of Gu Immortals in Myriad Dragon Dock that know about this secret!"
"Hmph, frog in the well, there are no impenetrable walls in this world, even if very few people know, can't I have Gu worms to deduce it?" Fang Yuan showed a disposition of unfathomable depth.
"Good, very good. I am even more curious about your true identities now. Hmph, I will admit a loss this time!" The blue charm lightning shadow agreed as he gritted his teeth.
"Let's trade using treasure yellow heaven." Fang Yuan said.
"No way, treasure yellow heaven will expose the blue charm lightning shadow puppet, it will expose my immortal killer move in advance!" The blue charm lightning shadow rejected immediately.
Fang Yuan laughed coldly: "Vicious Lightning Fiend, don't think I am unaware, after coming out of closed cultivation, you plan to imitate Sword Immortal Bo Qing, to challenge experts from all over the region, and use your power to contest for the title of the strongest. Your first target must be Bee Immortal Liao Mao."
"You sure know a lot!" The blue charm lightning shadow's tone was cold, but his heart was jumping.
The other party's grasp on information was far too detailed, he was in a very passive spot.
Fang Yuan ordered Little Hu Immortal to act, using connecting heaven Gu to connect to treasure yellow heaven, before finding Vicious Lightning Fiend's main body.
After the two negotiated, Fang Yuan sent the blue charm lightning shadow as merchandise and sent it over.
Immediately, the treasure light burst into the sky, attracting countless divine senses.
Vicious Lightning Fiend quickly took out Blood Deity's Immortal Gu remnant recipe, who knew how many Gu Immortals cried out in alarm at this.
"Scoundrel, quickly settle the deal!" Vicious Lightning Fiend's divine sense screamed.
"Vicious Lightning Fiend, you are not being genuine. The Blood Deity remnant recipe you have is seventy percent complete, you are trying to scam my ignorance, only taking out a forty percent remnant recipe?" Fang Yuan said slowly.
Vicious Lightning Fiend was shocked: "How can I have a seventy percent Blood Deity remnant recipe!"
"I am in no rush, the longer the blue charm lightning shadow is exposed, the more people will know." Fang Yuan said casually.
Vicious Lightning Fiend almost spat blood from anger: "Lad, don't think that with a wisdom path Gu Immortal behind you deducing things, you can act so arrogantly!! I will remember you, just you wait!!"
Saying this, he finally tossed out a seventy percent Blood Deity remnant recipe.
"An Immortal Gu remnant recipe with such a high completion rate appeared!"
"Since when did blue charm lightning shadow become a commodity?"
Some Gu Immortals fortunate enough to witness the transaction went into deep shock.
Fang Yuan did not make things difficult for Vicious Lightning Fiend this time, they swiftly ended the deal.
Under the gazes of Hei Lou Lan and the others, Fang Yuan took the Immortal Gu remnant recipe, exclaiming in his heart: "I obtained this so easily, something that I had been unable to get my hands on in my previous life no matter what. A seventy percent blood deity Immortal Gu remnant recipe, together with my previous life's accumulations, and with wisdom Gu's power, I should be able to complete the blood deity Immortal Gu recipe."
Next, he thought about Vicious Lightning Fiend.
This person had an fierce, ruthless, and fiery personality, in his previous life, he attained rank seven and had incredible battle strength. During the five regions chaotic war, he used the immortal killer move Lightning Deity, to accumulate eight rank six battle strength beings that were similar to the blue charm lightning shadow. After Feng Jiu Ge died, he contested for the prized status of being the number one in battle strength among rank seven, he fought with Immortal Monkey King Shi Lei for three days and three nights but unfortunately lost.
In his previous life, Fang Yuan had most wanted to refine the Immortal Gu Blood Deity. He had once targeted the Immortal Gu remnant recipe in Vicious Lightning Fiend's possession, but his plot failed and he escaped after being heavily injured.
To think that in this life, he could obtain what he had always wanted in his previous life in such a manner.

Chapter 707: Overwhelming Profits!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In central continent time, three days after extorting Vicious Lightning Fiend, Immortal Crane Sect announced to the world: They recognized Fang Yuan as the owner of Hu Immortal blessed land, Hu Immortal blessed land was now a subsidiary force of Immortal Crane Sect, and could leave at any time.
This shocking news was like a large rock being thrown into a lake, causing many surging waves and splashes.
At once, the world of Central Continent's Gu Immortals was in a commotion!
Earlier, Immortal Crane Sect had declared publicly that Fang Yuan was a traitor of the sect, and would receive judgment soon. Such matters were common in Central Continent. Many Gu Masters, after obtaining benefits, would not want to share it with their sect, or they might be recruited by other sects, and so on, such reasons caused them to betray their original sect.
The cohesion of members under the sect system was weaker compared to the clan and tribe system that united people from the same bloodline together.
Among sects, the ten great ancient sects had the highest cohesion. But there were still traitors that appeared in these ancient sects.
In the past, First Gen Gu Yue obtained a blood path true inheritance and betrayed Immortal Crane Sect, going to Southern Border and hiding his name and identity.
These recent years, Myriad Dragon Dock's former disciple Song Zi Xing had also betrayed his sect. After growing from battles, he was now a rank seven Gu Immortal, known as the Blood Dragon, he was a famous demonic path expert in Central Continent.
Thus, when Fang Yuan as a rank five Gu Master had betrayed Immortal Crane Sect, it was only news of mild magnitude.
But now, Immortal Crane Sect had gathered up its forces and gone to pass judgment on Fang Yuan, the result was nothing anyone could have expected.
In this time, who knew how many people thought that Fang Yuan was courting death, their eyes were popping out of their sockets when they learned about the news.
After that, even more inside information was released, from Immortal Crane Sect, Vicious Lightning Fiend, and Fang Yuan.
There were many rumors, like the strength of Dang Hun mountain and Hu Immortal blessed land, the rise of a mysterious force, Vicious Lightning Fiend's immortal killer move, all these attracted people's attentions. Among them, the biggest highlight was the transaction of guts Gu.
Guts Gu could leave Dang Hun mountain and be stored, thus they could be traded! There were such great profits implied by this information, all the different forces were moved.
The Gu Immortals finally understood why Immortal Crane Sect made such a declaration, it was the motivation of profits!
For guts Gu, forsaking some hollow reputation was nothing. Furthermore, Fang Yuan acknowledged that his force was a subsidiary of Immortal Crane Sect, this was giving face to the ancient sects.
The other nine great ancient sects called Immortal Crane Sect shameless on one hand, while interacting with Hu Immortal blessed land on the other.
Fang Yuan's guts Gu had yet to begin being traded, but he had already received a large number of letter Gu, and they were still coming.
Regardless of whether it was a large or small force, Fang Yuan replied to them all. This was to establish the first contact between them.
Using this as an opportunity, Fang Yuan finally entered the limelight of Central Continent, with the status of an immortal zombie and the owner of Hu Immortal blessed land, he entered the eyes of all the Gu Immortals and the different forces.
A few days later, Hei Lou Lan brought in the first batch of souls, there were hundreds of thousands of them.
Of course, most of them were souls of wild beasts.
Fang Yuan placed them all into Dang Hun mountain, and Hu Immortal land spirit started to release Dang Hun mountain's power, vibrating and turning these souls into fragments, as these soul fragments were scattered on the surface of Dang Hun mountain, they gradually formed into guts Gu.
As the guts Gu grew here, Fang Yuan started to make his preparations elsewhere.
He ordered all of his hairy men to start creating the foundational Gu worms.
After seven days and seven nights, working in three shifts, they had finally produced a large number of Gu worms.
He next ordered the rockmen to start building a stone nest.
Half a month later, the first batch of souls were all used up, as a large number of guts Gu were formed on Dang Hun mountain.
Hei Lou Lan brought the second batch of souls into Hu Immortal blessed land.
Fang Yuan brought her to the stone nest near Dang Hun mountain.
Hei Lou Lan stood at the edge of the stone nest, seeing the huge structure below her, she was very shocked at Fang Yuan's huge investment.
This stone nest was tens of acres in area, and it was hundreds of meters deep into the ground.
At the outer ring of the stone nest, it was a huge sinkhole, dug manually, vertically up and down. The circular sinkhole was one li in radius, at least three li deep, like the frame of a tall piece of glassware.
At the center of the sinkhole, there was a huge stone pillar.
The stone pillar was over three hundred meters in radius, this length was slightly more than half of one li, thus, the stone pillar and the circular sinkhole did not touch, they were at least a hundred and fifty meters apart, and there was an empty space left purposely.
The stone pillar was like an ant hill, it was complex inside but could reach anywhere as long as one knew the directions.
Be it the outer wall of the stone pillar, or the inner area of the circular sinkhole, there were countless rooms dug out. In each room, there was an elderly hairy man, and they had the basic Gu refinement materials and tools they needed.
"Fairy Lou Lan, please." Fang Yuan brought Hei Lou Lan to the top of the stone pillar, at the center-most spot.
Hei Lou Lan used her investigative Gu non-stop, realizing that this stone pillar and the sinkhole around the stone pillar had countless Gu worms around them at set intervals.
These arrangements had many complicated smaller details, Hei Lou Lan was going dizzy from seeing them, but what she knew was that these arrangements were not randomly set up, they were linked to each other and formed a great influence as a whole, it was set up with deep intentions.
"Don't tell me…" Hei Lou Lan was guessing in her heart, when Fang Yuan said: "Fairy, I am already done preparing, you can use the strength qi Immortal Gu now."
"Oh? Please teach me."
"Fairy only needs to activate strength qi Immortal Gu, and let the strength qi spread out naturally." Fang Yuan explained.
Hei Lou Lan followed his instructions, a powerful strength qi formed air currents and spread out everywhere. As the strength qi got thicker, they formed into a fog-like state, as they slowly spread and covered the entire stone nest.
In the stone nest, countless mortal Gu were activated, shining with all sorts of dazzling lights, like the stars in the night sky.
Under the combined force of these Gu worms, the vast strength qi was slowly extracted strand by strand, in a few breaths of time, all of the strength qi was in between the stone pillar and the sinkhole.
After a dozen breaths of time, these strength qi continued to move about, forming into the shape of a tornado, spinning around the stone pillar.
"Start the Gu refinement." Fang Yuan instructed, as the hairy men in the rooms prepared themselves, they opened their eyes and started to refine Gu.
Whenever they needed strength qi as a Gu refinement material, the turbulent strength qi outside the room would enter it automatically.
Such a scene was praised by Hei Lou Lan in amazement: "Fang Yuan, your stone nest is so grand and huge, it can accommodate thousands of hairy men refining Gu at the same time, this is truly an innovative and incredible idea."
Fang Yuan laughed: "Didn't I tell you I am also a refinement master?"
In truth, this stone nest was invented during the five regions chaotic war in his previous life.
Because of the unceasing battles that occurred at both large and small scale, Gu Masters would expend a lot of their Gu worms, all of the forces needed to replenish their Gu worms. Thus, they gradually researched and came up with such a stone nest that could accommodate so many Gu Masters, a structure that can allow mass refinement of Gu.
"I will name this the Fang Yuan stone nest, it is a place specially used to mass produce mortal Gu. I split the refinement process of the airsac Gu into over a dozen steps. When the hairy men at the highest level finish the first step, they will pass the partly-done product to the next floor's rooms. After the next floor finishes their refinement, they will send the partly-done product to the next floor. This way, each of the hairy men would be specialized in one step, not only would this prevent my Gu recipe from leaking, they can also get more familiar with their own steps and increase the success rate."
Fang Yuan shamelessly took the invention of someone in his previous life for his own.
Hei Lou Lan could not help but praise again: "This is indeed the right method to mass produce mortal Gu, in a certain aspect, it can even reduce the required proficiency of the Gu refiners themselves, because they only need to finish one step of the entire refinement process. But you, Fang Yuan, would be able to free yourself from the complication of dealing with all the many small steps, only having to control the materials."
"There are some Gu recipes that need the Gu refiner to refine it non-stop. Thankfully, airsac Gu is not like that." Fang Yuan said.
Hei Lou Lan nodded: "I was worried that the number of airsac Gu would be too little, and that would affect the sale of guts Gu. After all, each airsac Gu can only hold one guts Gu. But now that I've seen this stone nest for myself, I can feel assured. How are you intending to sell these guts Gu?"
Fang Yuan had a plan already: "Most of the sales will be towards the ten great ancient sects of Central Continent. I have already established a connection via hole earth Gu with the ten great sects. From now on, we will trade using these hole earth Gu, the remaining guts Gu will be sold in treasure yellow heaven."
"Aren't you going to sell some to the other sects in central continent specifically?"
"No. Right now, the ten great sects are the leaders of Central Continent, our identities and statuses are already very sensitive, we do not need to test the limits of the ancient sects. Our current peace was not obtained easily, we should quietly wait and reap our profits."
Hei Lou Lan heard this and nodded, she was completely at ease now.
Time passed by quickly, another half a month passed in Hu Immortal blessed land.
The first batch of guts Gu had already been sold, after accounting for the costs, as well as Hei Lou Lan and Fairy Li Shan's forty percent cut, Fang Yuan earned forty-three immortal essence stones.
A month later in Hu Immortal blessed land's time, the second batch of guts Gu was sold, and Fang Yuan's immortal essence stone stockpile increased by another forty-six pieces.
The third batch of guts Gu earned him forty-seven pieces.
The market reception was great, the ten great ancient sects' demand was increasing, and sales in treasure yellow heaven were extremely heated, usually in just one to two days, they would all be sold.
Guts Gu was after all a treasure that Spectral Soul Demon Venerable recommended, the efficiency of strengthening the soul was very high, at least ten times as efficient as ordinary methods.
In truth, not only did soul path Gu Masters need it, enslavement path, refinement path and other related paths also needed a foundation in their soul.
When a Gu Master ascends to Gu Immortal, the soul was also an important element for the thickness of the human qi, nobody would resent their soul for being strong.
Fang Yuan started to feel the benefits of having a monopolized market.
He could control the market, and control the situation. He could sell to anyone he wanted to, and he could sell at any quantity he set.
But he did not raise prices randomly, because guts Gu were not the only way to strengthen souls, if the price was too high, people would just use their original methods instead. That would instead, cause Fang Yuan's profits to fall.
After three batches of guts Gu were sold, Fang Yuan had over a hundred immortal essence stones. He started to purchase hairy men in bulk, creating more rooms in the stone nest and expanding his scale of production.
The more hairy men he had, the higher the efficiency of refining Gu, this caused the profits that Fang Yuan gained from each batch of guts Gu sold to be higher as well.
After five months in Hu Immortal blessed land's time, his earnings finally stabilized, each batch of guts Gu would earn him forty-eight immortal essence stones in total profit.
This was genuinely an overwhelming profit!
The scariest thing was, guts Gu were consumable Gu, they were gone after one use. The market demand for them would never dwindle.
Hei Lou Lan and Fairy Li Shan started to feel that they were a burden.
Because their job was to collect souls.
But now, the quantity of the souls gathered to use for Dang Hun mountain gradually became the biggest restriction in the sale of guts Gu.

Chapter 708: Returning the Eight Desolate Beasts
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Northern Plains, Lang Ya blessed land.
Boom boom boom…
The huge ice spike divine ape caused tremors with every step it took.
Walking towards the cloud building, it stopped and raised its head to growl, the sound waves traveled far,causing the clouds to shake.
Fang Yuan was standing far away with Lang Ya land spirit, they were conversing but they turned around to look after hearing the noise.
"This little monkey!" Lang Ya land spirit stretched out his left arm, stroking his mustache as he laughed.
He was sealed by a qi path killer move, the fifteen layers had been reduced to six layers, all thanks to the help of the Inkman King.
Thus, Lang Ya land spirit's left arm was free to move now, only his right arm was left immobile.
Fang Yuan smiled, as he saw the cloud building rise up slowly, exposing a cave made of cloud soil underneath. The cloud fog was misty, covering the ice spike divine ape completely. The ice spike divine ape stepped into the hole and its tall figure gradually vanished from Fang Yuan's vision.
Finally, the cloud building gradually descended, and resealed the cave. The Gu worms in the cave were activated, causing the ice spike divine ape to go into hibernation.
Not far away, the same sight was happening with other cloud buildings.
Except that the ones entering the caves were not the ice spike divine ape, but the phoenix feather lava crocodile, golden sand dark stallion and the other desolate beasts.
"Ice spike divine ape, phoenix feather lava crocodile, golden sand dark stallion, azure dragon vine, swamp crab, peach wolf, iron crown eagle and earth chief desolate beast, I have returned to you the eight desolate beasts that you lent me without a single scratch. Actually, letting them out to roam once in a while is a good thing. Letting them sleep all the time, although it saves food, it will affect their battle strength." Fang Yuan said.
Lang Ya land spirit rolled his eyes: "Rascal, do you think I cannot understand what you are trying to imply? You want to borrow my desolate beasts again to fight for you, right? Hmph, these desolate beasts were captured with much difficulty, they are an important line of defense for Lang Ya blessed land. If you want to borrow them again, you cannot bring all eight at once!"
Fang Yuan laughed nonchalantly, stretching out his arm: "Alright, I returned to you your desolate beasts, according to our agreement, you should return the two great Immortal Gu, Man as Before and Landscape as Before, to me now."
Lang Ya land spirit heard this and his aura diminished, he smiled sheepishly: "Well… Little Fang, no, brother Fang, Man as Before and Landscape as Before are two incredible Immortal Gu, I have not finished researching them yet, can you give me a few more days?"
Fang Yuan's expression turned stiff: "Don't even think about it, hand them over!"
"Little brother Fang, no, big brother fang, you cannot be so ruthless. You know that I am current sealed by the qi path move, I cannot display my true strength as an expert, there's no way my research can have progress. This deal was very disadvantageous to me!" Lang Ya land spirit shouted.
"This transaction was willingly done by the two of us, I did not force you. It is your problem that you made a loss, you want to regret it now? Too late! Quickly hand it over, don't forget that we used mountain pledge Gu to make the vow, this also involves your friend Mo Tan Sang, whoever breaks the vow would have to pay with his life." Fang Yuan snickered continuously.
"Oh land spirit, return him the Immortal Gu." Mo Tan Sang quickly hurried over, staring at Lang Ya land spirit worriedly.
Lang Ya land spirit looked at Mo Tan Sang, he could not stand his gaze and stomped his foot, handing over Man as Before and Landscape as Before, these two Immortal Gu, over to Fang Yuan with much reluctance.
"Damn brat, you always take advantage of me in the end. Take it, take it, you scheming fellow!" Lang Ya land spirit continued to grumble.
Fang Yuan snorted disgruntedly: "I took advantage? What advantage did I take? I fed all eight of your desolate beasts till they were full, while no battles actually took place, it was like taking a walk with them. I saved some costs for you, nor am I even asking you to settle the score."
"Score, what score? Didn't I feed your rising azure cloud Immortal Gu as well, in order to buy the food, I spent a lot of immortal essence stones too, if you want to calculate all of this, let's count properly and see who paid a higher price!" Lang Ya land spirit was stomping his foot in agitation, he rebuked immediately.
The feeding of desolate beasts was naturally much simpler and cheaper than feeding Immortal Gu.
Fang Yuan could not argue with Lang Ya land spirit over this, but he had control of Lang Ya land spirit's weakness, thus he could speak in a confident tone, he laughed coldly: "Lang Ya land spirit, do you still want to research Man as Before and Landscape as Before? Do you?"
Lang Ya land spirit's expression changed, he smiled amicably: "Yes, I want to even in my dreams."
"Then good." Fang Yuan patted Lang Ya land spirit's head: "Is there a point in being calculative, it was your fault for keeping my rising azure cloud Immortal Gu as collateral, right?"
"Get lost!" Lang Ya land spirit was so angry that he shrugged off Fang Yuan's hand: "You brat, you have no manners, I am your senior's senior's senior's senior's senior's senior!"
"Oh?" Fang Yuan stared, while showing a flash of the two Immortal Gu in his hand.
Lang Ya land spirit's expression changed, he laughed as he patted Fang Yuan's leg: "Fang Yuan, there's nothing I can do, you really suit my taste, we are old friends with much in common after all!"
Mo Tan Sang, who was at the side, witnessed this entire scene speechlessly.
Fang Yuan placed the two Immortal Gu into his own immortal aperture and took out three Immortal Gu recipes.
After five months in Hu Immortal blessed land, Fang Yuan had made six deals with Lang Ya land spirit.
The lower the completion rate of the Immortal Gu recipe, the more green grape immortal essence would be consumed during the deduction, and it would take more time as well. The three Immortal Gu recipes that Fang Yuan took out now had only sixty percent completion rate originally, he spent half a month before he completed them with difficulty.
Lang Ya land spirit received the Immortal Gu recipes and looked, sighing while shaking his head: "Lad, I have to admit, you are an unparalleled genius in deducing Gu recipes. It is such a pity that you have become an immortal zombie."
Fang Yuan followed up and asked: "I also want to find a way to remove my immortal zombie status, do you know of any methods?"
"There are a bunch of methods, of course, but they are all old and cannot keep up with the times. Some have high risks, some have low probabilities of success, while some have extinct materials, for some, I don't even believe the methods." Lang Ya land spirit shook his head: "After all, I am a land spirit, I would not usually think about an immortal zombie's problems."
"Brother Fang might be able to get into Northern Plains' Zombie Alliance branch. The higher ups of Zombie Alliance are mostly immortal zombies, they have been researching on how to get rid of the immortal zombie body, and regain their lives. Furthermore, several years ago, I've heard some rumors that Northern Plains Zombie Alliance had made some progress on this matter." Mo Tan Sang suggested at this time.
Fang Yuan nodded: "I have such intentions, but I cannot expose myself. I destroyed Eighty-Eight True Yang Building and ruined Imperial Court blessed land, it is inconvenient to appear in public. If deductions were made against me, that would be horrible."
"Now that Dong Fang Chang Fan is dead, there might not be any Gu Immortals who can deduce brother Fang's identity." Mo Tan Sang said.
"It is hard to say, some thousand year old monsters or some wisdom path Gu Immortals might exist." Fang Yuan shook his head, sighing.
"Oh? Lad, aren't you a wisdom path Gu Immortal? If you can deduce so many Immortal Gu recipes, your wisdom path attainment must be very high, you should use your own wisdom path methods to prevent others from deducing you. I remember that many wisdom path Gu Immortals have done that before." Lang Ya land spirit asked.
Fang Yuan laughed bitterly in his heart.
How could he be a wisdom path Gu Immortal? He was only using the might of the rank nine wisdom Gu to impersonate as one, shamelessly claiming credit for it.
Thus, he said: "My wisdom path methods are very heavily skewed towards deducing Gu recipes, they are very poor in other aspects. Furthermore, Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun are both living eyewitnesses, they had experienced the situation in Imperial Court blessed land. I am afraid my current appearance has been found out by Qin Bai Sheng already."
Speaking of Qin Bai Sheng, Mo Tan Sang's eyes shone, he praised: "This person is quite impressive. I had thought that he was only strong in battle strength, but to think he was very wise as well. He captured Ma and Zhao, obtaining the core of the luck path true inheritance. Originally, Northern Plains' Gu Immortals were going to attack and exterminate him together. But during this month's time in Northern Plains, he recruited allies, giving up some benefits and persuading Fairy Li Shan to come out and use mountain pledge Gu, to forcefully gather and unite a bunch of lone cultivators, even Ye Lui tribe was convinced by him."
"Originally, there was a huge battle ahead, but because of his actions, the battle flopped. He even is going to hold a huge auction in his blessed land, purposely selling the core Immortal Gu of the luck path true inheritance, he even will be placing Ma and Zhao as commodities for sale."
After saying that, Mo Tan Sang looked at Fang Yuan deeply in the eye.
He knew that Fairy Li Shan and Fang Yuan had a deep relationship.
Back then, when Fang Yuan borrowed the desolate beasts from Lang Ya land spirit, he was present. Lang Ya land spirit rejected him outright, having a firm attitude, after all, the desolate beasts were an important defense of Lang Ya blessed land. If Fang Yuan had ill intentions, and was in cahoots with the group that attacked the blessed land, Lang Ya land spirit would be in danger.
But out of his expectations, Fang Yuan took out mountain pledge Gu.
Using this Gu to make a vow, Lang Ya land spirit's worries were dispelled.
Later, he used Man as Before and Landscape as Before, these two Immortal Gu, to attract Lang Ya land spirit and strike at his weakness. After all, Lang Ya land spirit had offered Tai Bai Yun Sheng five immortal essence stones just to research Landscape as Before in the past.
Lang Ya land spirit was moved by the two Immortal Gu, and after being provoked by Fang Yuan's words, he lent eight desolate beasts to him.
"Qin Bai Sheng knows how to give in at the right time, he can adapt to circumstances and has amazing methods, he is truly skilled in both brains and brawn, one can't help but admire him." Fang Yuan said lightly, before changing the subjecting and asking the land spirit: "Do you have any leads on the white lotus giant silkworm Gu?"
Fang Yuan's cleanse soul Immortal Gu has not been fed, after this period of time, it became even weaker.
But to feed cleanse soul Immortal Gu, he needed the flesh of the white lotus giant silkworm Gu.
Earlier, Fang Yuan had asked Lang Ya land spirit, but Lang Ya land spirit did not have the recipe of the white lotus giant silkworm Gu, or even any remnant recipes of it.
Thus, he could only ask for a lead, not raising any talk of the Gu recipe.
Lang Ya land spirit shook his head: "Lad, this white lotus giant silkworm Gu was created by Spectral Soul Demon Venerable. My main body had lived through the eras of Thieving Heaven and Giant Sun before dying. Spectral Soul Demon Venerable only rose up after Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, by that time, I was already confined inside this blessed land, how could I have any leads?"
"But, I do have an incredible transformation path killer move here. This killer move originated from Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable. When he was young, he used this set of Gu worms to hide his appearance and evade his enemies when they chased him, the effect was great. With this killer move, you will be able to change your appearance and aura, to conceal your identity. Even if Gu Immortals manage to deduce your identity, you might be able to deny it in person and claim that their deduction was wrong, successfully hoodwinking them!"

Chapter 709: Familiar Face
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Oh?" As it involved Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable, Fang Yuan's interest was roused: "Is it the legendary 'familiar face'?"
In Gu Master history, there were many interesting records about the immortal killer move 'familiar face'.
Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable had once relied on familiar face to transform into all sorts of appearances, he had once scammed a rank eight Gu Immortal, Deng Zuo Yan, while he himself had rank six cultivation, causing Deng Zuo Yan to think that he was his best friend, Wan Che Zhen. In the end, Deng Zuo Yan allowed the thief into his house, and Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable used the opportunity to steal a lot of treasures in his blessed land.
After the incident, Deng Zuo Yan was angered to the point of spitting out blood, he found Wan Che Zhen and engaged in a fierce battle, it was an extremely heated match.
Wan Che Zhen was very puzzled, he tried to explain himself but it was not working. In the end, he took a risk and stopped defending him, letting Deng Zuo Yan deal three blows to him.
After three blows, Wan Che Zhen was on the verge of death, he finally managed to convince Deng Zuo Yan of their friendship.
Deng Zuo Yan felt deep regret, he tried to heal Wan Che Zhen regardless of the consequences. After he found out the truth, he saw Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable as his most hated enemy and one that he must kill.
Wan Che Zhen's deep injuries could not heal, and seeing that Deng Zuo Yan was about to face a tribulation, he did not want to be a burden to his friend and left secretly.
But to think that Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable had perfect timing, he disguised as Wan Che Zhen and lied to Deng Zuo Yan, lying in bed and pretending to be ill, extorting countless cultivation resources from him.
After that, Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable escaped scot-free.
Deng Zuo Yan lost a huge amount of his foundation, he died during his heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity not long after. Wan Che Zhen heard that his friend had died and vomited blood from anger. His weak body that was heavily injured finally gave in and he died several days later.
This was the most illustrious achievement of the immortal killer move 'familiar face'.
It was not an offensive killer move, but it indirectly took the lives of two rank eight Gu Immortals.
In history, other than this incredible account, there were also countless incidents where Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable used this move to pretend to be a weakling to catch people off guard, or scammed people by pretending to be an expert. He also transformed into a snowman and caused trouble in an inkman city, resulting in a huge battle between the snowmen and the inkmen.
Lang Ya land spirit stared at Fang Yuan, shaking his head: "Familiar face? You are really daring! That is an immortal killer move, the core Gu is the legendary attitude Gu. Even if I give it to you, you will not be able to use it. But this killer move of mine has a huge relationship with familiar face, it can be said to be the former version of it, this is a mortal killer move and is suitable for you to use."
"Oh?" Bright light shined in Fang Yuan's eyes.
Seeing that he had drawn out Fang Yuan's interest, Lang Ya land spirit chuckled as he continued: "This killer move is called 'unfamiliar face'. But if you want it, you will need to do me a favor."
Fang Yuan knew that there was no free lunch in this world, he nodded: "Say it."
Lang Ya land spirit said his plan immediately: "My twelve cloud buildings all had one desolate beast inside each in the past. But because of the attacks of the Gu Immortals from the mysterious force, two of them died and one died after succumbing to injuries. Now, I only have nine left. If you can enslave a desolate beast with outstanding battle strength for me, not only will I pay you immortal essence stones based on market rates, I will also give you this mortal killer move 'unfamiliar face'."
Fang Yuan was overjoyed deep inside: After making many transactions with Lang Ya land spirit over the Immortal Gu remnant recipes, and using the mountain pledge Gu to dispel any suspicions, along with returning the desolate beasts, he had finally improved his relationship with Lang Ya land spirit.
In the past, Lang Ya land spirit would not ask Fang Yuan for such a matter.
Fang Yuan thought about it and agreed.
Next, he obtained three new Immortal Gu remnant recipes from Lang Ya land spirit, after saying goodbye, he went back to Hu Immortal blessed land.
"Junior brother, you are back, was this trip successful?" Tai Bai Yun Sheng was inside Hu Immortal blessed land.
Now, with the eight desolate beasts already returned, it was impossible for Hei Lou Lan and Fairy Li Shan to stay in Hu Immortal blessed land, when Fang Yuan went to Lang Ya blessed land, Tai Bai Yun Sheng was the only Gu Immortal left to defend it.
"Mm, it was rather fruitful." Fang Yuan said, returning landscape as before Gu and man as before Gu to Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
"Shark Demon is calling me urgently, I have to go to Eastern Sea now." Tai Bai Yun Sheng took the two Gu and rushed over without examining them.
Fang Yuan did not obstruct him, he only told him to be careful.
Now that he was finally alone, it was time to plan what to do for the future.
"After resolving the huge crisis of Immortal Crane Sect attacking Hu Immortal blessed land, I have finally stabilized the situation, I have entered the righteous path faction using the status of a subsidiary force, now that I can sell guts Gu, I can intervene slightly in Central Continent's matters now."
In the past, Fang Yuan was a mortal, he did not even have the qualifications to speak to Gu Immortals as equals. Although he had Hu Immortal blessed land, he was like a child walking into a bandit's den holding primeval stones. Once the bandits saw Fang Yuan, they would only think of how to take Hu Immortal blessed land for themselves.
Now that Fang Yuan was an immortal zombie, he finally was qualified. After gathering his strength and showing the mysterious force behind him, he had finally intimidated Immortal Crane Sect and the other forces. Using the guts Gu transaction to form an economic connection between them, the child had now grown into a young man, seeing a bandit, he scattered some primeval stones to them. The bandits want to rob him, but they are afraid of a counterattack from the young man that would cause them to suffer greater losses, thus, they took the primeval stones to temporarily satisfy themselves.
Furthermore, these bandits themselves are wary of each other and restrict themselves, their attention is placed on many other things. The young man is temporarily safe in this den.
But Fang Yuan was aware, that when the guts Gu transactions become bigger, and the benefits become larger, there would be even greater pressure on him, as more people would want to snatch it from him.
Especially during the five regions chaotic war, all of the forces would not let go of something that could raise their strength.
Although the young man gave out some primeval stones and satisfied the bandits temporarily, as his wealth grows, these bandits were bound to engage in another attempt of robbery soon.
Thus, Fang Yuan lowered his head and became a subsidiary of Immortal Crane Sect in name. This way, the young man was now a young bandit, these bandits could not rob each other, they had to follow the rules.
But rules were just formless restrictions, as time passed, as the profits grew, they would have less effect.
After all, this young bandit was not as powerful as he had displayed himself to be.
"Four Gu Immortals, eight desolate beasts, this is just a facade that I put up by borrowing the strength of others. The Snowy Mountain Alliance I have with Hei Lou Lan has a time limit. Lang Ya blessed land is facing strong enemies, it can hardly protect itself, I cannot bring out the eight desolate beasts anytime I wish. Even though we made Immortal Crane Sect retreat and have set up transactions with the ten great ancient sects, since I have now appeared in the open, they will definitely use all sorts of methods to investigate me. They have not struck yet because they are not sure of my background at this point. One they know, they will strike again." Fang Yuan considered.
Using an analogy, when Fang Yuan first obtained Hu Immortal blessed land, the situation was like a torrential rainstorm with thunder and lightning, it was vicious weather and only by taking a fatal risk could he have a chance of survival.
After Fang Yuan's trip to Northern Plains, he became an immortal zombie, when he returned to Hu Immortal blessed land, the situation was like a sky with dark clouds covering him, and strong winds blowing. The future was grim, only by plotting carefully, taking every step vigilantly, and grabbing onto every opportunity, could he climb out of the swamp slowly and with much difficulty.
After Fang Yuan repelled Immortal Crane Sect and started selling guts Gu, the fierce winds had disappeared, and the dark clouds had thinned, a hole was exposed and the blue sky could be seen. The future was now bright and hopeful, but the dark clouds were still looming, if he was careless, they would cover the sky again, with lightning and rain pouring. It was like a person had just escaped from a swamp, he was standing at the edge of the swamp, finally safe for the time being.
If he took a step back, Fang Yuan would fall into the swamp again, if he wanted to get out, he would need to struggle intensely, and his luck would matter greatly.
If he moved forward, Fang Yuan would become more stable, and he would finally get back onto a wide and large track. Even if there were thorns along the way, it would not be like before, when he was struggling between life and death, and every step could lead to a fatal disaster.
"The following period of time is a time of peace that I have obtained with much difficulty, I need to advance forward, accumulating my foundation and raising my cultivation, I have to become stronger, until none of the forces around me dare to have any ill intentions against me."
Fang Yuan thought about it carefully, there were several huge problems in front of him.
The first question facing him now was the feeding of Immortal Gu.
Cleanse soul Immortal Gu was the most urgent one.
Lang Ya land spirit and Fairy Li Shan did not have any leads to the white lotus giant silkworm Gu, even though he could buy some in treasure yellow heaven for a high price, it could only sustain cleanse soul Immortal Gu's life and not let it die of hunger.
To feed it till it was full, he needed ten thousand white lotus giant silkworm Gu, this Gu was in small quantity even for Gu Immortals who collected them.
Unless Fang Yuan got the Gu recipe and refined it in bulk, he could not solve the issue completely.
Looking at his other Immortal Gu, feeding them was still a huge problem.
Although he got through it this time, the next round of feeding would be a problem again.
The six headed snake's bones had turned into black blood and were fed to calamity beckoning Immortal Gu. Delight in water and mountain Immortal Gu's feeding problem had never been resolved. It was just that Mo Yao's will had fed it earlier, thus there were no issues yet.
Worldly wave trace Gu needed tens of thousands of underworld jellyfish and thousands of deepsea lightning eels. Although the former was in huge quantity, it could be bought easily using immortal essence stones. But the latter was rare in the market, if not for Tai Bai Yun Sheng encountering Shark Demon and putting his own life at risk, he would not have gotten the required amount.
Rising Azure Cloud was in Lang Ya land spirit's hands, it need not be considered for now. Connect luck Immortal Gu needs five thousand kilograms of sand gull soil, looking at the condition of the worldly sand gull's dead egg, it could produce another fifteen thousand kilograms, which was three feeding sessions. The feeding of Woman's Heart was troublesome, after all, mass killing of mortals would attract the attack of righteous path Gu Immortals.
After all, now was not the five regions chaotic war yet.
Within the five regions, the righteous path suppressed the demonic path, order was abundant in society.
Although Fang Yuan had many immortal essence stones now, the feeding of Immortal Gu could not be resolved simply by having immortal essence stones.
Generally in most cases, the feeding of Immortal Gu was usually connected to the cultivation path of the Gu Immortal themselves, and their blessed land.

Chapter 710: Crossing the Regional Wall
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
For instance, a water path Gu Immortal's blessed land would be in the form of a sea. After obtaining worldly wave trace Gu, the Gu Immortal would raise underworld jellyfish, deepsea lightning eels and so on inside their blessed land. Thus, the Gu Immortal could be self-sufficient, by drawing materials from their own blessed land to feed the Immortal Gu Worldly Wave Trace.
Another example was Tai Bai Yun Sheng's two Immortal Gu, he could obtain food for them by managing his own blessed land.
Hei Lou Lan's blessed land contained large numbers of heavy metal ores. These heavy metals were strength qi Immortal Gu's food.
However, Fang Yuan's situation was different from theirs.
Their Immortal Gu were mostly obtained by refining vital Gu and core Gu when advancing to Gu Immortal, and were integrated with their path.
Fang Yuan's Immortal Gu were mostly obtained from scheming. His vital Gu was Spring Autumn Cicada but he had no time path inheritance, and what he currently practiced was strength path.
Moreover, Fang Yuan's Immortal Gu were extremely disordered, involving time path, space path, water path, wisdom path and other paths. The most crucial point was that Fang Yuan's blessed land was dead.
His immortal aperture had turned into a dead aperture and whatever he placed in there would die, it could neither be managed nor developed like a normal blessed land, nor could it provide convenience in feeding Immortal Gu, and most importantly it could not produce immortal essence. Thus, there was a much heavier burden on immortal essence stones.
Fang Yuan not only had to use his immortal essence stones for transactions, but also turn a part of them into green grape immortal essence, and furthermore bear the costs for feeding Immortal Gu. The main reason for Fang Yuan almost becoming bankrupt after the battle with Hei Cheng was this.
Thus the second problem in front of Fang Yuan was his immortal aperture.
The immortal aperture was already dead, his cultivation had stagnated.
The blessed land was involved in many aspects of the Gu Immortal's cultivation, therefore this was a great burden to Fang Yuan. The day Fang Yuan truly got rid of his immortal zombie body would be the day he can formally start his Gu Immortal cultivation.
However, getting rid of the immortal zombie body and returning to his human body meant Fang Yuan would not be able to step into the wisdom light halo, this was also a problem.
As for the final important problem, it was battle strength.
Currently, cleanse soul Immortal Gu was weak from hunger and was too risky to use. Fang Yuan's trump card — the immortal killer move myriad self, also could not be used.
Fang Yuan's battle strength had fallen as a result.
Whether it was confronting Central Continent's ten great ancient sects in the days to come, dealing with the pursuit of Northern Plains' Gu Immortals, seizing Dong Fang Chang Fan's wisdom path inheritance, helping Lang Ya land spirit to capture a desolate beast, seeking the Thieving Heaven inheritance pertaining to Luo Po Valley, taking Immortal Gu Dark Limit from Fairy Jiang Yu, all of these required powerful battle strength.
"There are mainly four aspects that influence a Gu Immortal's battle strength. The Gu Immortal's own battle attainment, Immortal Gu, killer moves and immortal essence. With the guts Gu business now, I don't lack immortal essence for the moment. A Gu Immortal's battle attainment is formed from constant accumulation of their foundation over time and cannot be raised in a short period. In the Immortal Gu aspect, the Blood Deity remnant recipe is enough to deduce the complete blood deity Immortal Gu recipe, but my wealth right now is still quite far from reaching the standard of refining Immortal Gu."
Fang Yuan thought it over, even if he could refine Blood Deity, he did not want to do so.
Blood path had been affiliated with the demonic path since long ago, even the ten great ancient sects had to research blood path in secret and did not dare to publicly announce it. Heavenly Court even had the Demon Judgment Board and Fang Yuan did not want to put his name there this early.
Moreover, almost all the Immortal Gu in Fang Yuan's hands were in a bad state from hunger. The burden of feeding was too heavy and Fang Yuan lacked confidence in managing it if a new Immortal Gu was added on top of that.
Therefore, the only method Fang Yuan could use to raise his battle strength quickly was through killer moves.
The killer move aspect involved both immortal killer moves and mortal killer moves.
"I have sufficient immortal essence stones, my disposable income is much higher than in the past, not only can I purchase a lot of good mortal killer moves, but I also can continuously experiment, deduce and reproduce some powerful killer moves from my past life."
Having thought things through, Fang Yuan immediately started with the task.
Central Continent.
With Feng Jiu Ge as the leader, a group of Gu Immortals were standing in front of an enormous light wall.
The light wall was incomparably tall, connecting the sky and ground. The white light had condensed into a solid and formed a wall. Within it flickered golden light which was full of vigor and majesty.
This was Central Continent's membrane, known as the saint regional wall.
The world of Gu Masters had five large regions: Central Continent, Southern Border, Eastern Sea, Western Desert and Northern Plains, each was covered with a layer of membrane forming the boundaries of heaven and earth, mutually isolating each other.
"Old Oracle, what is the result of your calculation this time?" Old Lord Can Yang asked a young looking Gu Immortal in the group.
The young looking Gu Immortal slowly opened his eyes, they were filled with clouds and mist and constantly transforming.
A long while later, the clouds and mist dispersed and he returned to having ordinary white eyes with black pupils.
The young looking Gu Immortal spoke with a slightly happy tone: "It can be done. This part of the regional wall is rather weak, it is the third weak spot we have found over these last days. But compared to the first and the second, this is more stable. I suggest we use this to cut open an entrance and cross the regional wall to Northern Plains!"
"Hahaha, good, we have searched close to a thousand areas and finally found an ideal weak spot." Old Man Tian Long laughed loudly.
Fairy Ling Mei let out a breath of cloudy air and said with a sigh: "We have searched for so many days before finally getting a good result, it was really not easy."
"We have already wasted a lot of time, let's begin." Feng Jiu Ge said briefly, "Who goes first?"
Fairy Ao Xue and Fairy Ling Mei glanced at each other, then stood up together, speaking in unison: "This time, let our Heaven's Envy Manor take the lead."
With that statement, the two exerted strength and activated an immortal killer move together, called peerless crescent moon slash.
This killer move's core was the rank seven crescent moon Immortal Gu, with two rank six Immortal Gu as support. The immortal essence required to activate this immortal killer move was extremely high and it also burdened the mind significantly; just one Gu Immortal could not display its might, two Gu Immortals must activate it together.
The immortal killer move was activated, instantly forming a blue crescent moon.
The crescent moon was not large and was only the size of a water jar, but it had condensed into solid form and was sparkling like a magnificent piece of artwork. Only the terrifying aura it leaked out occasionally would let one know that it was not harmless like its appearance showed.
The surrounding Gu Immortals distanced themselves far away from Ao Xue and Ling Mei.
After accumulating enough power, the two fairies gave soft cries and released the blue crescent moon.
The crescent moon flew extremely quick and silently, shining with gentle moonlight.
The blue crescent moon slashed the saint regional wall and immediately cut open a path about seventy-six steps in length.
"Worthy of being a well-known killer move of Heaven's Envy Manor, it directly cut open a distance of seventy-six steps, remarkable." Gu Immortal Chen Zhen Chi exclaimed in admiration.
Feng Jiu Ge led the way with the other Gu Immortals behind him and entered the saint regional wall.
The moment they stepped into the saint regional wall, many Gu Immortals' expressions changed slightly. Their bodies became heavier, their thoughts moved more slowly and even the immortal aperture inside them gradually started to tremor.
"Quick, we need to move faster." Feng Jiu Ge hastened. They had walked seventy-four steps before they could not walk any further.
In this short period of time, the saint regional wall had already started to rapidly heal; the path of seventy-six steps in depth had already shortened by two steps.
Old Lord Can Yang stood up: "Next, let this old man give it a try."
He took out an Immortal Gu, this Immortal Gu resembled a mostly burnt out candle with a small amount of candlelight burning at the top.
Old Lord Can Yang softly blew at the candlelight.
The candlelight shook and following the direction of Old Lord Can Yang's breath, it let out countless glittering light spots.
The light spots struck the white-gold saint regional wall, the regional wall melted like snow as it rapidly dissolved and formed a sixty-three steps passage.
Everyone quickly moved ahead. At the end of the passage, Old Man Tian Long stood up and activated an Immortal Gu, opening a sixty-seven steps passage.
All the Gu Immortals took turns in using their Immortal Gu or immortal killer moves to open the passage deeper into the saint regional wall.
The deeper they went, the greater the pressure on them was, even turning into a giant force that dragged them backwards, seemingly as if this world did not want them to leave Central Continent.
The thoughts in their minds also kept on moving increasingly slowly, which caused the Gu Immortals to have extreme difficulty in activating their immortal killer moves. As a wisdom path Gu Immortal, Old Oracle had no choice but to use all sorts of methods and even immortal killer moves to reinforce the other Gu Immortals' minds. But in spite of this, Ao Xue and Ling Mei, these two fairies could not activate peerless crescent moon slash anymore.
The most crucial point was the immortal apertures in their bodies.
The deeper they went, the greater the intensity of the tremors in their immortal apertures. The earth within their blessed lands cracked, boulders started falling down and countless life forms within died pitifully.
These Gu Immortals came from the ten great ancient sects, they were famous experts with outstanding battle strength. However, several hundred steps later, most turned pale, some with weaker cultivation even started trembling slightly.
A thousand steps later, most of the Gu Immortals were covered with sweat, some were deathly pale. Ao Xue and Ling Mei were walking while supporting each other.
Only Feng Jiu Ge alone was still walking ahead upright, his expression was normal. Every time he made a move, they were all immortal killer moves, cutting open passages longer than a hundred steps.
After walking for over three thousand steps, there was much thinner white-gold light in front, instead a trace of green was vaguely revealed.
"Old Oracle, your deduction was correct, this is indeed a weak area of saint regional wall, we reached here after only walking over three thousand steps." Someone immediately praised.
"Beyond saint regional wall is Northern Plains' licorice regional wall. Let's speed up and break through it in one move!" Old Lord Can Yang attempted to raise the morale while gasping for breath.
The young looking Gu Immortal Old Oracle, however, was somewhat worried: "My ability is limited, I could only deduce saint regional wall. Hopefully this area of licorice regional wall is not too thick."
After around eight minutes, the Gu Immortals were out of saint regional wall and entered into licorice regional wall.
This regional wall was quite different from saint regional wall. The Gu Immortals felt an enormous formless force pushing at them and constantly repelling them.
The intensity of the tremors of their immortal apertures increased further, the losses causing great heartache to many Gu Immortals.
"I hope we can subdue one or two Immortal Gu in this trip to Northern Plains, otherwise the losses would be too huge." Old Man Tian Long said.
"Sigh, I had passed the regional wall to Northern Plains when I was younger, but back then the whole process only took about five minutes of time and was very easy." Gu Immortal Hong Chi Ming sighed deeply.
When he had crossed the regional wall back then, he had only been a rank four Gu Master. As one's cultivation became higher, the difficulty in traversing regional walls would become increasingly difficult.
After a long time, this group of Gu Immortals had no choice but to stop.
They were in licorice regional wall and everywhere around them was filled with green fog. Grass was growing wildly in the fog and was constantly twining and twisting like a sea of snakes or hair, blocking their paths.
Feng Jiu Ge's body was dripping with sweat and his lips were pale: "This won't do, this part of licorice regional wall is extremely firm, we need to change to another direction even if we have to walk more."
Everyone nodded, approving of Feng Jiu Ge's resoluteness.
Old Oracle began to deduce, and in this period of time, the regional wall was constantly recovering, making the Gu Immortals retreat further.
"This way." Finally, Old Oracle calculated a direction.
The Gu Immortals changed their direction and after suffering bitterly for a day and a night, they passed the licorice regional wall and entered Northern Plains.
"Rest and reorganize for three days, we will talk after that." Feng Jiu Ge exhaustedly said.
Among the whole group, only he was able to barely stand while the others fell down unsteadily to the ground like piles of mud, not wanting to even budge anymore.

Chapter 711: Giving Up on Possession
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Cranes cried out, flying beautifully in the sky, displaying their elegant appearances.
As the wind blew gently, the trees on Fei He mountain were swaying lightly.
The sun was high in the sky, but the sunlight could not penetrate into this dark gloomy underground secret room.
The underground secret room was plain and simple, the surroundings were stone walls and other than the stone bed at the center, there was nothing.
Moist water vapor slipped into the cracks of the walls, as moss grew on them.
On the stone bed, there was a rotten and ruined body of a young rank five Gu Master, it was Gu Yue Fang Zheng.
In order to detect Fang Yuan's location, coordinating with He Feng Yang to attack Hu Immortal blessed land, Fang Zheng was plotted against by Lord Sky Crane and lost control of the failed blood demon flower Gu, causing him to lose too much blood and his soul went on the verge of collapse, as he entered a deep state of unconsciousness.
"You want to revive Fang Zheng?" He Feng Yang was right beside the stone bed, looking at the spirit incubating flea which was floating in front of him.
Fang Zheng's master was inside the spirit incubating flea — Lord Sky Crane's soul.
At this moment, a firm voice came from within the flea: "Yes lord, I am willing to give up this possession opportunity, please save Fang Zheng instead."
He Feng Yang turned his gaze towards Fang Zheng who had fainted, saying softly: "The injuries to his body might seem terrifying, but it is not a big concern, even without my help, the sect has many ways to heal him. The problem is his soul. He did the blood sense forcefully this time, it caused a huge burden on his soul, his soul was only a step away from collapsing."
"Actually, the current situation is most suitable for you to possess his body. This body has A grade aptitude and a rank five aperture, his soul is extremely weak so if you undergo possession now, you would win the contest between souls without doubt. Wasn't possession your goal all along?"
Lord Sky Crane laughed bitterly.
Ever since he used the method to harm Fang Zheng, Lord Sky Crane had been recalling Fang Zheng's appearance and all the memories of their experiences had been flashing through his mind.
Fang Zheng's purity, his pursuit of justice, it reminded him of his younger self. Fang Zheng's desire for revenge was so similar to his own experiences.
"Subordinate's original plan was to possess Fang Zheng. But… now in my heart, I feel guilt and reluctance. According to logic, he has the bloodline of First Gen Gu Yue, yet he has been calling me master and trusts me, he had never thought I would harm him. He believes in justice, just like I did in the past. If I kill him and succeed in the possession, I would have to live within his shell in the future, how would I face myself?"
Lord Sky Crane sighed.
He Feng Yang was silent for a while, before he raised his hand and placed it on Fang Zheng's forehead.
A green light that was gentle as water dripped down from He Feng Yang's palm, spreading all over Fang Zheng's body.
Everywhere the green light reached, his swollen flesh and scars healed rapidly at a visible rate.
After several breaths of time, Fang Zheng's body fully recovered, his breathing relaxed, but he was still unconscious.
"I have already healed his physical body, and stabilized his soul. As a reward for being my subordinate, I will give you another opportunity, Sky Crane. You do not need to give up on the possession chance, I will give you some time to consider it, think it through properly." He Feng Yang said.
"Lord…"
He Feng Yang retracted his hand: "The possession technique we have is not complete, it originated from Northern Plains. Right now, our sect's Old Lord Can Yang has followed Feng Jiu Ge into Northern Plains, he had been assigned several missions from the sect him. One of them is to collect more information and improve the possession technique. When he returns to the sect, Sky Crane, you will have a higher chance of succeeding in the possession. By that point, you would have already reflected thoroughly on it, give me the answer then."
"Lord…"
Without waiting for Lord Sky Crane to finish speaking, He Feng Yang waved his sleeves and his figure vanished.
Hu Immortal blessed land, in an underground cave.
The wisdom light halo that was shining in many colors shone on Fang Yuan's face.
Fang Yuan's brows were tightly locked, his expression was grim and uncertain.
Guh.
Suddenly, he opened his mouth, spitting a mouthful of green zombie blood. At the same time, countless joyful wills in his mind collapsed and disintegrated.
This was the first time Fang Yuan had gotten injured from using the light of wisdom.
Fang Yuan stepped out of the light of wisdom, finding a mushroom nearby and sitting on it like a bench.
He stretched out one arm to wipe the zombie blood around his mouth, as he inspected his mind while enduring the huge pain in his head.
His mind was experiencing tremors, thoughts disintegrated on their own the moment they were created. The surrounding boundaries of his mind had mild cracks on them, this was the backlash due to Fang Yuan's forceful thinking.
At this moment, as long as Fang Yuan had a thought, intense pain would assault his mind.
He shut his eyes and stopped all his thinking, he was like a rock statue without any movement.
A while later, he slowly opened his eyes, inspecting his mind again.
The tremors had stopped in his mind, but the boundaries still had remaining cracks on them. The speed of his thought generation was slower than before, but they would not collapse upon creation.
That was to say, Fang Yuan could think again.
This injury was no doubt a valuable experience, Fang Yuan learned many things from it.
"Wisdom path deductions have a risk as well, one can get injured. Just like strength path, overexerting oneself would cause them to pull their muscles, and their tendons might even break."
"This time, I was trying to deduce a difficult question of the star path, I used a large amount of joyful wills and the unlimited inspiration from the light of wisdom to deduce countless possibilities. It surpassed the limits and endurance level of my mind, thus I got injured."
"I thought I could use the power of wisdom Gu to deduce the recipe of star shoot Gu. But now it seems that my star path foundation is too low, the unlimited inspiration can give me countless possibilities and directions, but I will need to deduce every single possibility. At the same time, during the process of deduction, more choices would be generated."
Star shoot Gu was Star Lord Wan Xiang's self-created Gu worm. Using large numbers of star rain Gu, small numbers of spring wind Gu, as well as many other Gu worms, one could assemble the killer move — Spring Star Rain.
The effect of spring star rain was to increase the growth rate of plants. Fang Yuan used it many times to nourish his star fragment grass.
But star shoot Gu was a consumable Gu, right now, he could only purchase it from Star Lord Wan Xiang, and Star Lord Wan Xiang was making a huge profit out of this Gu.
Fang Yuan had wanted to use the light of wisdom to reverse engineer the star shoot Gu's recipe, but he did not succeed, and even got himself injured.
"Although star shoot Gu is a mortal Gu, it had been tampered with by Star Lord Wan Xiang, the recipe is very hard to reverse refine. Unless my star path realm reaches master level, if not, it will be hard to succeed." Fang Yuan had a realization.
Star path master level realm, it represented a foundation in star path, and could greatly reduce the possibilities when undergoing deductions. It could help Fang Yuan reach the correct answer much quicker.
Fang Yuan made an estimate based on the difficulty: "If reverse refining star shoot Gu's recipe requires star path master level attainment, then researching an entirely new Gu recipe to create the starlight firefly Gu would be even harder, most likely, star path grandmaster realm is needed. As for modifying Dou Min Jun's star path inheritance and creating an entire new star path Gu worm, to amplify the effects of attacking, defending, movement, and healing in star path Gu worms, that would be even harder. At least quasi-great grandmaster realm attainment is required."
Starlight firefly Gu was a necessity in activating stargate Gu, it would not hurt to have more of it.
But in Dou Min Jun's inheritance, a bit of star Gu, brilliance of two stars Gu, three stars in the sky Gu, four stars cube Gu, five stars aligned Gu, these could amplify the offense of star path Gu worms. If this was circulated, star path Gu would definitely become much more popular, it would even have a mild effect on the current status of the different paths.
Fang Yuan's original plan was to reverse refine the Gu recipe of star shoot Gu and starlight firefly Gu, one was to escape from his reliance on Star Lord Wan Xiang, but also to have a method to obtain even more starlight firefly Gu for his use of stargates.
In addition, raising the effects of a bit of star Gu, brilliance of two stars Gu, three stars in the sky Gu… this series of Gu worms would help in developing a whole new star path killer move that would suit Fang Yuan's needs, and raise his battle strength.
But after making an attempt, Fang Yuan knew that this was not feasible yet.
Even if he had the light of wisdom and had unlimited inspiration, his refinement path realm was master level, his star path realm was merely ordinary, it was hard for his plans to work.
"It seems that to raise my battle strength, I have to focus on my strengths and make use of my advantages." Fang Yuan assessed himself, he was a blood path grandmaster, strength path grandmaster, flying quasi-grandmaster, refinement path master, enslavement path master, as well as transformation path master.
He first eliminated blood path.
Blood path Gu Immortals were heavily targeted by everyone, because blood path cultivation focused on harming others to raise one's own battle strength. The righteous and demonic paths were both unwilling to face such a huge threat like blood path Gu Immortals.
Only during the five regions chaotic war, when the law and order of the regions go into chaos, would blood path emerge again.
Although Fang Yuan had Blood Deity's remnant recipe, he did not want to deduce the completed recipe yet, he did not have the financial capability to refine blood deity Immortal Gu now.
Furthermore, the blood path inheritance in his previous life had yet to mature, he could not retrieve it yet.
Next, Fang Yuan eliminated strength path.
Strength path had once flourished in the past, at present, it had already heavily declined. Even though there were incredible geniuses like Chu Du, it was unlikely for the past glory of strength path to reappear.
The might and prosperity of a path not only relied on genius Gu Masters and Gu Immortals, they also relied on resources.
In the present era, the resources for strength path had mostly gone extinct, or were extremely rare.
Strength path had little prospects, many Gu recipes were lost, and the future was grim. Even though Fang Yuan was a strength path immortal zombie, he did not want to walk on this path.
The reason he chose strength path was because the conditions back then were very convenient, he would use it as a springboard, to change to another path in the future. He later became a strength path immortal zombie because he was left with no choice in Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
Unless Fang Yuan was like Hei Lou Lan with multiple strength path Immortal Gu, who can raise her battle strength using these Immortal Gu. But such a situation was not feasible for Fang Yuan.
Blood path and strength path were dead ends, flying quasi-grandmaster was merely part of his battle proficiency, refinement path did not excel in fighting, Fang Yuan's only options were enslavement path and transformation path.
But enslavement path needed beast groups.
At the level of Gu Immortals, ordinary beasts were of little use. Their core beast groups would be elevated from mutated beast kings and beast emperors to desolate beasts.
Fang Yuan used the light of wisdom and thought about it for a long time.
Three days later, he finally made a breakthrough in transformation path.

Chapter 712: Lion Fur Armor, Transplanting Bat Wings
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Time flew by quickly and in a blink of an eye, ten days had passed in Hu Immortal blessed land.
Fang Yuan was flying in the air.
"Hair armor." His thoughts shifted, his hair grew wildly and instantly condensed into a malevolent looking pitch black armor full of spikes.
"Icy drill stardust." Fang Yuan pinched at the air with his five fingers, a ball of starlight formed on his hand.
The starlight constantly let out crackling sounds, looking closely inside, one could discover there were countless small specks of icy drills colliding and exploding non-stop.
Fang Yuan slowly pressed this ball of starlight into the hair armor on his chest.
The hair armor lasted for a few breaths before it began to be damaged. A dozen or so breaths later, the surroundings of the damaged area were dyed azure blue, and the blue frost was spreading everywhere.
Twenty breaths later, the hair armor completely shattered, and there was a small hole on Fang Yuan's chest.
This was completely within Fang Yuan's expectations.
He had merged Du Min Jun's inheritance into icy drill stardust, this would sell for four immortal essence stones in treasure yellow heaven. And the defensive killer move hair armor would only be worth around two and a half immortal essence stones.
The starlight on his palm dissipated, Fang Yuan willed and activated hair armor again.
However, the hair armor this time was different, it was a new and improved version, having gone through many days of experimentation.
The hair armor transformed quickly. The useless malevolent spikes were removed. The black iron-like luster before also turned into bronze.
The primary cause for this was Fang Yuan perfectly merging large numbers of golden lion fur Gu into the original foundation of hair armor.
Golden lion fur Gu was a rank five mortal Gu that could let Gu Masters grow golden lion fur, increasing their defense and having an even higher increase in resistance to metal path attacks.
Several breaths later, the original black iron spiked hair armor was gone, and replacing it was a smooth bronze armor which was twice the thickness of the black armor. The helmet had turned into the shape of a lion roaring with an open mouth, revealing Fang Yuan's face inside. The defensive ability had also increased by one hundred and fifty percent. If it was defending against metal path attacks, the defensive power would increase by a whole two hundred percent.
Fang Yuan made a lump of starlight again and pressed it towards his chest area like before.
The stardust drilled endlessly into the hair armor, but after a whole dozen or so breaths had gone by, the starlight was completely used up and merely a crack appear on the hair armor.
"Let's call it lion fur armor." Fang Yuan mumbled to himself before raising his eight arms and letting out eight lumps of starlight.
The starlight flew to the sky and gathered into a large lump.
Fang Yuan laughed heartily, charging into the large lump of stardust with his lion fur armor.
The icy drill stardust constantly produced tiny explosions which impacted against Fang Yuan's lion fur armor from all directions.
Fang Yuan constantly maintained the lion fur armor killer move, rapidly restoring any cracks that appeared. He maintained it till the starlight lump dissipated, and then flew down. There was not even a trace of a crack on the lion fur armor.
"Such recovery ability is about twice that of before. If placed in treasure yellow heaven, this could sell for four and a half immortal essence stones."
Lion fur armor was one of the accomplishments Fang Yuan had made these days.
He returned to Dang Hun palace where Hu Immortal land spirit was maintaining connecting heaven Gu, paying attention to treasure yellow heaven.
"How is the situation?" Fang Yuan asked.
"Master, the other party is still insisting on four immortal essence stones and shows no signs of lowering it." Little Hu Immortal land spirit replied.
Fang Yuan wanted to buy a pair of bat desolate beast wings.
The other party had killed this bat desolate beast and was putting its corpse on sale in treasure yellow heaven. Fang Yuan had asked for price before, but the other party had asked for four immortal essence stones just for this pair of bat wings, and their attitude was firm, not willing to lower it.
Four immortal essence stones was no doubt an expensive price. Back then, when Fang Yuan bought a six headed snake's skeleton, he had only had to pay three immortal essence stones.
According to the normal price, it should be two and a half at most.
Fang Yuan personally activated divine sense Gu and used the identity of Eight Arm Immortal to get in touch with the seller: "I am willing to pay three immortal essence stones to buy this pair of bat wings."
The seller's will, however, refused: "I'm not selling, not selling, the lowest is at least four immortal essence stones."
Fang Yuan snorted: "Sir is too greedy, look at how damaged these desolate beast wings are, they would normally only sell for two and a half immortal essence stones. If not for me wanting to research some new Gu and coincidentally happening to need this material, I would not have even asked."
The seller's will's tone softened and it sighed: "I am also helpless, my losses were too severe when hunting this desolate beast. This desolate beast's blood had already flowed out and my main body also suffered heavy injuries, if I don't sell it for this price, my finances will collapse and it might even lead to a delay in healing my injuries."
"Whether you live or die, is that my problem? Also, why would I believe your one-sided words? Three immortal essence stones, are you selling or not?" Fang Yuan said coldly.
"Not selling."
Fang Yuan immediately withdrew his divine sense.
After a while, he commanded Little Hu Immortal land spirit to inquire about the price and show a stance of being impatient: "How about this, I will take out three immortal essence stones to buy your bat wings. Say it, are you selling or not?"
The seller's will hesitated this time, but still refused in the end: "This pair of wings is the most valuable part of the whole desolate beast corpse. If sir only wants to buy the wings, it won't be easy for me to sell the remaining parts. If you are sincerely thinking of buying, how about you take out five immortal essence stones to buy this whole desolate beast corpse?"
Little Hu Immortal talked with Fang Yuan, and replied: "I only need the wings, what will I do with the other parts? I have wasted enough time already. Three immortal essence stones are already a lot, alright I shall give you three and a half immortal essence stones, this is my final bottom line. If you are still not selling, then forget it."
The seller's will was clearly shaken and it replied with hesitation: "This… let me consider it."
The land spirit hastened him: "My patience has limits, I will give you five breaths of time. Any longer and I might just take back my offer."
Four breaths passed before the seller's will heaved a long sigh. He also knew that although there was a high demand for desolate beast corpses but his price was indeed high. Gu Immortals were shrewd people, there were few that would spend money casually.
"Alright, I will sell…" The seller's will was just replying when a divine sense interrupted him, "Slow down, I want this bat desolate beast's corpse, I will give you five immortal essence stones."
"Eh? Sir is Immortal Monkey King!" This change naturally made the seller very happy.
If he sold the bat wings to Fang Yuan for three and a half immortal essence stones, then trying to sell the remaining parts of the corpse which were extremely damaged for one immortal essence stone would be demanding a very high price.
Now, Immortal Monkey King Shi Lei cut in and was willing to pay five immortal essence stones, the seller was naturally willing to accept this transaction.
"Wait a second, we have already made the deal. Immortal Monkey King, what do you think you are doing by suddenly butting in?" Hu Immortal land spirit refused to accept this.
"What deal?" Shi Lei scoffed, "Who are you kidding? Does business in treasure yellow heaven pay attention to first come, first serve? The item will naturally go to whoever pays the higher price. Since the transaction has not been carried out, there is no deal."
After saying that, Shi Lei then said to the seller: "Hey, this deal will earn you a great profit, why are you not quickly finishing the transaction?"
The seller's will was just about to nod when Hu Immortal land spirit obtained Fang Yuan's instructions and immediately prevented it: "Slow down, I will pay five and a half immortal essence stones."
"Hmph, only adding half an immortal essence stone, aren't you too petty? I will pay seven immortal essence stones." Shi Lei said with a rich and overbearing attitude.
Hu Immortal land spirit's tone immediately became gloomy: "Since it is so, I will pay eight immortal essence stones."
"Eight?" Shi Lei laughed, "Then I will pay nine!"
"Nine and a half." Hu Immortal land spirit immediately quoted.
That seller's will had never expected such a change and was already overjoyed.
Shi Lei was dazed before laughing loudly: "Alright, Hu Immortal, as expected of someone doing the business of guts Gu, you have so much money. I don't want to contend with a junior. Just a mere damaged desolate beast corpse, I hope you can be happy when you take it."
The divine sense left directly after laughing heartily.
"Hu… Lord Hu Immortal… you meant what you said, right?" The seller's will wore a fawning smile as he said while stammering. From the looks of it, he had not lied before, he was indeed a poor rank six Gu Immortal.
"Hmph, business needs to be done with sincerity, would my words be a lie?" Hu Immortal land spirit coldly snorted.
The two finished the transaction.
The seller received nine and a half immortal essence stones while Fang Yuan obtained a bat desolate beast's corpse.
After this transaction, Fang Yuan checked his wealth again; he had one hundred and seventy-two immortal essence stones and seventy-seven beads of green grape immortal essence.
So far, Fang Yuan had already sold the sixth batch of guts Gu. It was an average of one batch per month and every batch gave him forty-eight immortal essence stones in profit.
Over these six months, Fang Yuan had completed one transaction of an Immortal Gu recipe with Lang Ya land spirit, earning over twenty immortal essence stones.
But he had fed the eight desolate beasts earlier and converted large numbers of immortal essence stones into green grape immortal essence. He also consumed green grape immortal essence to reverse refine star path Gu recipes, which ended in failure, and finally, to make a breakthrough using transformation path, he improved on his killer moves.
He had not only improved his defensive killer move hair armor to lion fur armor, but also upgraded light illusion bat wings by a great degree.
But to complete the new light illusion bat wings, he needed to transplant a pair of real bat wings onto his immortal zombie body.
Because of this, Fang Yuan did not hesitate on spending a large amount to buy this bat desolate beast's corpse.
"Immortal Monkey King Shi Lei, making me spend three times the price to buy this bat corpse. I will remember this."
Shi Lei was a higher up of Combat Immortal Sect, which was one of the ten great ancient sects. During his previous life's five regions chaotic war, after Feng Jiu Ge died, he replaced Feng Jiu Ge as the most powerful rank seven in Central Continent. He was an earth path expert but cultivated transformation path as well, having secretly obtained several inheritances of Reckless Savage Demon Venerable.
Fang Yuan thought of raising the price of guts Gu to Combat Immortal Sect, but he dispelled this thought after pondering about it.
For the next half a month, he concentrated on handling the bat desolate beast's corpse.
He carefully cut apart the bat wings and did more than a dozen sessions of meticulous treatment and maintenance.
He then used fire path and strength path Gu worms to constantly temper the bat wings; as a result, the extremely wide bat wings gradually became more condensed and small.
Finally, after Fang Yuan endured intense pain, he finally succeeded in transplanting the bat wings onto his back.

Chapter 713: True Solid Bat Wings
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
A wind wolf had its head lowered, its four limbs were stealthily moving as it traveled in the lush grassland.
The prey that it was targeting was a pink flower rabbit.
The rabbit's two ears were standing on end, listening to every movement nearby. The rabbit's head was buried in the flowers, eating pollen as food.
As a cool breeze blew on this mountain, flowers blossomed in this lush greenery, giving off waves of fragrant smells.
The wind wolf slowly got closer, but the pink flower rabbit had no idea.
Suddenly, a black shadow flew past the ground rapidly.
The pink flower rabbit was shocked, it raised its head. Even though Hu Immortal blessed land had no eagle groups, it sprinted away in fear, managing to survive this trial, causing the wind wolf to fail in its hunt.
Fang Yuan, who was flying in the air, observed all of this.
He could not help but start to think: "Right now, I have ample funds, and my own blessed land has turned into a dead aperture, I might as well manage this Hu Immortal blessed land first. After the journey in Northern Plains, the beast groups in Hu Immortal blessed land had fallen in numbers, becoming very sparse. Right now, I am already selling guts Gu, the rockmen transaction is simply unnecessary."
"Hu Immortal was an enslavement path Gu Immortal, Hu Immortal blessed land has a grassland landscape, it is most suited for raising fox groups. If I raise the vitality of Hu Immortal blessed land and make it flourish with life, when I revive, I would gain much greater benefits if I fuse this Hu Immortal blessed land."
Thinking so, Fang Yuan inspected the bat wings on his back.
This was the third time he had tested out flying with these newly transplanted bat wings on his back.
The processed bat wings, if spread fully, were not even half of Fang Yuan's arm length. They were yellow-brown in color, and were quite petite, they seemed much less impressive than the prior light illusion bat wings.
But Fang Yuan did not care about appearance, he only looked at its value and usefulness.
The new light illusion bat wings gave Fang Yuan almost double the speed boost, at the same time, the duration of his flight had greatly increased. After all, the bat wings back then were only a phantom, the bat wings now were real physical wings.
The flesh, skin, fur, bones, and blood were all condensed and refined. There were also many Gu worms inside these wings.
The Gu worms residing in the bat wings were used to activate the newly modified movement killer move, light illusion bat wings.
"No, right now, using the name light illusion bat wings for this killer move is no longer appropriate. I should call it true solid bat wings." Fang Yuan created a new name for this newly modified killer move.
He was more pleased with this movement killer move true solid bat wings than the lion fur armor.
If this movement killer move was sold in treasure yellow heaven, it could be sold for six immortal essence stones or more!
That was because true solid bat wings had much potential left, one pair of bat wings was not its limit. It could transplant three pairs of bat wings at most. The origin of these wings should be at least desolate beasts. Of course, ancient desolate beasts and immemorial desolate beasts would be even better.
If Fang Yuan could transplant three pairs of desolate beast bat wings on his back, his speed would be at least three times faster.
Light illusion bat wings was the most widely spread movement killer move during the five regions chaotic war due to its price to value ratio. On that basis, raising one's speed by three times as much would be even more impressive.
Even though it could not compare to movement Immortal Gu like Worldly Wave Trace, or Rising Azure Cloud, if Fang Yuan met Plump Lady again, her light sand escape would not allow her to run from Fang Yuan's assault.
As the winds blew intensely behind him, Fang Yuan flapped with his wings and flew up into the sky.
After flying to a high altitude in midair, Fang Yuan closed his eyes and felt the sensation of the air currents blowing on the bat wings silently.
His immortal zombie body could not feel any pain, his sense of touch was nearly non-existent. This was a strength and also a weakness.
When Fang Yuan transplanted the bat wings, he spent a lot of effort in order to retain the sense of pain and touch that the bat wings had. Only by doing this could he have a clearer and realistic feeling of the air when he flaps his wings, to feel the strength of the air currents, and to sense the state of the wings.
Losing the sense of pain numbed him and made Fang Yuan fight more fiercely.
But flying was another matter.
Flying required meticulous control, especially when Fang Yuan's flying attainment had reached quasi-grandmaster level. Only by regaining his sense of pain and touch could he truly display his actual flying attainment.
If it was a pair of zombified wings, the feeling would be very vague, especially in intense battles, when he needed to rely on the wings, sensitive nerves would allow him to react and adapt more easily, instead of being rough and careless.
"With a boost in movement strength, I will be able to advance or retreat at will. After I get three pairs of wings, true solid bat wings will be an exceptional mortal killer move, it would only lose out to worldly wave trace Immortal Gu."
Fang Yuan was a strength path Gu Immortal, he obtained a strength path immortal body. Worldly wave trace Immortal Gu had the law of water path, when Fang Yuan uses this Immortal Gu, water path and strength path do not work together perfectly, there was a problem of them restricting each other.
If a fire path Gu Immortal uses worldly wave trace Immortal Gu, his speed would be even slower than Fang Yuan.
The most suitable would be water path Gu Immortals, when they use this same Gu, by expending the same amount of immortal essence, they would achieve greater speed.
Most importantly, true solid bat wings was a mortal killer move, compared to using worldly wave trace Immortal Gu, it had a much greater value to cost ratio.
This was the intelligence of humans.
Using the combination of many mortal Gu, they could achieve an effect that was only somewhat below Immortal Gu.
Using Gu, nurturing Gu, and refining Gu, they were extremely profound and deep.
"The corpse of a desolate beast is rarely seen, even if Gu Immortals sell new beast corpses in treasure yellow heaven, they might not be bats. To collect two more pairs of bat wings, I would need to actively seek them. It seems that now, I should take some risks and go to Starry Sky grotto-heaven."
The immortal aperture of a rank eight or nine was known as a grotto-heaven.
The owner of Starry Sky grotto-heaven was a rank eight Gu Immortal from one thousand and seven hundred years ago, Seven Star Child.
Seven Star Child had died long ago, during Fang Yuan's previous life, one day, Starry Sky grotto-heaven fell from high up in Central Continent, it broke up into tens of immortal aperture fragments, and was scattered all over Central Continent.
Fang Yuan had already become a Gu Immortal, he could not enter these grotto-heaven fragments.
These fragment worlds of the grotto-heaven were already very fragile, Fang Yuan's cultivation level was too high and if he tried entering one, it would destroy the extremely unstable grotto-heaven fragment.
Thankfully, Fang Yuan had a bunch of elite subordinates in Blood Wing Demon Sect.
After competing with several Gu Immortals, they split a relatively large grotto-heaven fragment world between themselves.
Fang Yuan and the other immortals sent their respective Gu Master disciples or subordinates towards the grotto-heaven fragment world to explore and find resources.
Fang Yuan left a will in each of his capable subordinates' minds to direct and supervise them.
Thus, he was rather familiar with the scenery inside Starry Sky grotto-heaven.
"In this life, currently, Starry Sky grotto-heaven is still high up in the sky, it had not fallen or broken into pieces. The scenery of Starry Sky grotto-heaven in my mind will allow me to use Fixed Immortal Travel to enter the grotto-heaven in advance, to take the resources inside. I remember that there were a number of desolate beasts inside the grotto-heaven, there were even ancient desolate beasts and among them, there was a star demon bat desolate beast. My goal this time is to go and kill the star demon bat, and obtain the wings. At the same time, I can check the situation and see if I can capture a desolate beast and bring it to Lang Ya land spirit." Fang Yuan planned in his mind.
There were still many places in Fang Yuan's memories that were similar to this Starry Sky grotto-heaven.
But for some, now was not the time yet, and others were simply too dangerous.
Starry Sky grotto-heaven was the immortal aperture of a rank eight Gu Immortal, it had not reached the point of breaking down like in Fang Yuan's previous life, it was still very strong now.
"In my previous life, I only sent people to indirectly explore the grotto-heaven fragment world. By that time, the heavenly spirit was no longer around. But in this life, if I go now, the heavenly spirit is sure to be alive, it can summon the entire defensive power of Starry Sky grotto-heaven. If I had not become an immortal zombie, I would not have the qualifications to explore it."
Fang Yuan did not know too much about the current Starry Sky grotto-heaven, he could only deduce it based on his previous life's experiences.
In his previous life, he was not the person who benefited the most from this opportunity. It was a rank eight immortal zombie who rose up as a result of this. The ten great ancient sects which had been extremely forceful all along suffered a loss under the hands of this immortal zombie.
Next, this immortal zombie entered the Central Continent Zombie Alliance branch, and easily defeated the branch leader, becoming the one in charge and calling himself Star Constellation immortal zombie.
He had been the cause of many incidents, during the five regions chaotic war, he was an overlord that could hold his own in his territory.
As for the real Starry Sky heavenly spirit, Fang Yuan did not see it, and did not know the conditions for the grotto-heaven to belong to a new owner.
A few days later, Hei Lou Lan brought strength qi Immortal Gu and entered Hu Immortal blessed land using a stargate. Next, in Fang Yuan's stone nest, she and Fang Yuan, together with the thousands of hairy men, refined the eighth batch of airsac Gu.
After this, Hei Lou Lan did not leave immediately, instead she stayed in Hu Immortal blessed land and listened to Fang Yuan's information on Starry Sky grotto-heaven.
With Fang Yuan's current strength, it was rather dangerous to enter Starry Sky grotto-heaven.
Thus, Fang Yuan invited his allies.
But Fairy Li Shan was cooperating with Qin Bai Sheng right now, her mountain pledge Gu was having great use at this time, it allowed Qin Bai Sheng to gather his forces and eliminate the enmity of his foes, he was preparing for a Northern Plains auction that was of unprecedented scale.
Qin Bai Sheng's compensation to Fairy Li Shan was an Immortal Gu.
With such great benefits, Fairy Li Shan obviously chose Qin Bai Sheng and gave up on working with Fang Yuan this time.
As for Tai Bai Yun Sheng, he was with Shark Demon now, entering the sea and exploring Yu Lu blessed land.
Even thought Tai Bai Yun Sheng wanted to help his 'junior brother' Fang Yuan, he was afflicted with death sentence awaits Immortal Gu, and could not split himself into two, there was nothing he could do to help.
Only Hei Lou Lan was free now, she agreed with Fang Yuan to explore Starry Sky grotto-heaven together.
According to the Snowy Mountain Alliance, since the two were exploring and taking the risk together, any losses to Hei Lou Lan would not require Fang Yuan to compensate her twice the amount. At the same time, their gains would be split into Fang Yuan getting sixty percent, and Hei Lou Lan getting forty percent.
After resting for a few days in Hu Immortal blessed land, Hei Lou Lan entered Fang Yuan's immortal aperture.
Fang Yuan tried to activate Fixed Immortal Travel with the image in his mind.
He tried for three or four times, but he did not succeed.
Fang Yuan was not surprised.
The image in his memories, although it was a portion of Starry Sky grotto-heaven, it had already fallen at that time, and the scenery had changed drastically.
Thankfully, Fang Yuan had many images in his memories.
After trying for a dozen times, after he spent more than ten beads of green grape immortal essence, he finally succeeded.
With a flash of jade green light, at the next moment, he appeared inside Starry Sky grotto-heaven.

Chapter 714: Fighting Star Desolate Hound
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
They appeared before a thick forest which was verdant and lush, the foot of the mountain was serene and fog filled the place.
Fang Yuan had already activated lion fur armor to protect him tightly. He used all his concentration to quickly scan his surroundings and discovered that he had appeared on the waist of a mountain.
Surrounding him were tall ancient trees, and even his six meter tall immortal zombie body could not reach one-third of these giant trees.
Raising his head, he gazed at the sky through the opening between the lush leaves.
The sky was a tranquil green color. There were six giant shadows of stars in the green sky, they appeared to be six round moons in the color of red, brown, yellow, blue, purple and white.
Fang Yuan opened his immortal aperture, and Hei Lou Lan shortly appeared outside, stepping on the mountain stones.
Her eyes flashed with bright light as she looked around: "This is inside Starry Sky grotto-heaven?"
"It is indeed, let's go. The desolate beast that I want to kill, star demon bat, should be nearby."
The two did not know the exact location of the star demon bat, thus they casually chose a direction and moved along it.
While moving forward, the two used investigative methods to scan around them all the time. After advancing to a Gu Immortal, they had unlimited primeval essence and could use mortal Gu freely.
The two had also made ample preparations before they had come here.
Although they did not have investigative killer moves, they had prepared large numbers of investigative Gu worms of all paths to not only enhance their vision and hearing, but also to sense the slight tremors when they walked, and to smell any odd odors when they breathed. At the same time, they spread out their divine senses to cover their surroundings, attaining completion in all aspects of scouting.
Time flowed little by little, but this forest did not seem to have any end.
"Five minutes have already gone by, there seems to be something wrong!" Hei Lou Lan stopped and solemnly asked Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan nodded, saying in a deep voice: "Indeed, we have already been in Starry Sky grotto-heaven for some time now but haven't actually encountered a single wild beast. There are only trees or fog. Whether we go up the mountain or down, or move in any direction, things all look the same."
Hei Lou Lan looked up: "Let's fly."
The two carefully flew up.
The green sky was completely empty; if the two flew high up, they would be very conspicuous and it would be extremely easy for them to be discovered by beast groups and get surrounded.
Thus for safety purposes, Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan had chosen to move along the ground.
Right now, the two took the risk to attempt flying, but the result was disappointing.
The higher they flew up, the thicker the fog became. Finally, the fog became so thick that they could not even see their own fingers.
Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan's investigative methods were greatly restricted in this fog.
The two discussed and chose to be cautious, not willing to continue taking this risk, they descended to the ground.
"Has the Starry Sky heavenly spirit already begun to target us?" Hei Lou Lan guessed.
"The situation here, if it is not a unique law of the grotto-heaven, then it is an illusion, quietly disturbing our sense of direction and obstructing our true senses. Unfortunately, I don't have any investigative killer moves." Fang Yuan replied.
"Don't you have wisdom path methods?" Wisdom path is also specialized in resolving these kinds of circumstances." Hei Lou Lan asked while frowning.
Fang Yuan shook his head: "I indeed have some wisdom path methods, but they are rather special, they cannot deduce directions. How about you, do you have any investigative killer moves?"
Hei Lou Lan snorted lightly and raised her two delicate fists: "I don't have any investigative killer moves, but I do have offensive killer moves! Self Strength!"
She suddenly punched out with her two fists, sending out majestic fist qi.
The fist qi surged all around and rapidly condensed into strength path phantoms.
These strength path phantoms had fat bodies like bears with triangular eyes and jagged teeth. It was the male shape Hei Lou Lan had disguised as before.
Fang Yuan took a few steps back to give Hei Lou Lan sufficient space.
These strength path phantoms pounced at Hei Lou Lan's main body. The phantoms merged together and soon covered Hei Lou Lan, forming a giant strength path phantom.
This killer move had astonishing might, Hei Lou Lan had used it before in Northern Plains to destroy the flying bear phantom.
She again raised a fist.
The giant fist ruthlessly smashed at an ancient tree on the side.
The thick and sturdy ancient tree immediately broke into two; the lower half remained at the ground but was shaking intensely, the soil around it splattered to reveal the tree roots. The upper half was directly sent flying, cutting through the wind as it collided with another ancient tree, smashing two to three branches.
Boom boom boom…
Hei Lou Lan punched and kicked, the heavy punches and kicks shook the earth, stones flew, trees toppled down and the fog dispersed.
Fang Yuan flew into the sky, his sight was now much more clear.
He saw this forest only had the range of a hundred li, he and Hei Lou Lan had been moving in a circle.
Outside of this forest, he saw a scene abundant in nature and life; the wild beasts roaming around, the cries of birds and insects, the gurgling of streams and wild flowers swaying with the wind.
"It seems this forest itself was special, it should be an extinct tree species. Your information source is somewhat dubious, our entry was actually in this forest." The giant strength path phantom transmitted its divine sense to communicate with Fang Yuan.
Even Fang Yuan, with his plentiful experiences from his previous life and broad vision, did not recognize the origin of this kind of tree.
He gave a bitter laugh and changed the topic: "After the trees became sparse, this forest no longer has the bewilderment effect. We should take some and plant it in our own blessed lands, maybe we can make some profits."
There was absolutely no issue with the information source.
Because he himself was the information supplier.
In his previous life, Starry Sky grotto-heaven had shattered into many parts which then fell towards Central Continent. When Fang Yuan had sent people to explore the grotto-heaven's fragment world, this forest was already in a different shape, much of it had been damaged and thus it did not show any special effects.
This was an warning to Fang Yuan — although he had previous life's memories, however he had come early to Starry Sky grotto-heaven in this life, the situation was different, and he could not blindly rely on these memories.
The giant strength path phantom gazed at these ancient trees: "Even if you had not said it, I intended to do it."
When the two had just taken four to five trees, a dog shaped desolate beast charged down from the top of the mountain.
The dog shaped desolate beast growled, not concealing the fierce glare of its eyes as it looked directly at Hei Lou Lan. Hei Lou Lan's strength path phantom giant was not concealed by the trees and was exceptionally conspicuous.
Fang Yuan looked at the source of the growl and saw the desolate beast. Its body was as large as a small hill, and glossy azure fur covered it. Whether it was its head, stomach, back, tail or its limbs, they were all covered with star shaped stripes. These stripes were emitting faint blue radiance.
Fang Yuan recognized this beast with just one glance, immediately reminding Hei Lou Lan: "This is a star desolate hound, it should be this mountain's overlord. Let's check how powerful the desolate beasts in Starry Sky grotto-heaven are. If it is weak, don't kill it, it is best if we capture it alive, I have other uses for it!"
Hei Lou Lan frowned.
She had an extreme physique strength path immortal body and possessed several great strength path Immortal Gu; it was not difficult for her to kill a desolate beast, but she still had some difference between the level of capturing a desolate beast alive.
However, Fang Yuan continued: "You take the lead, I will support. Decide it according to the situation, if we can really capture it alive, I will use immortal essence stones to pay you."
"Alright, then let's do it like that." Hei Lou Lan was not an irresolute person, with a loud shout, the giant strength path phantom took large and loud steps as it charged towards the star desolate hound.
The star desolate hound fiercely charged down from above and pounced at the giant strength path phantom.
Hei Lou Lan was not to be outdone and immediately punched and kicked, clashing with the star desolate hound. The two huge figures rolled down from partway up the mountain towards the foot, like a rolling gourd.
It was like a giant compactor had steamrolled through a path, as the trees were toppled, protruding boulders were smashed and beast and birds who had not time to escape were crushed into paste.
Fang Yuan flapped his bat wings and flew down.
Eight lumps of starlight condensed separately on his eight monstrous claws, but they did not crash down yet.
Hei Lou Lan's giant strength path phantom was rolling and turning around at times as it clashed with the star desolate hound, like a rolling wheel. The fight was fierce but the situation was still not decided, the attacks moved so quickly that even an old demon like Fang Yuan was not able to find an opportunity to interfere.
Rumble…
Dust flew up, the giant phantom and the desolate beast rolled down to the foot of the mountain before finally stopping.
The star desolate hound fiercely pounced on the giant phantom. It raised its head and opened its mouth, revealing the snow-white canines that were as sharp as swords and long as halberds, and bit down.
Fang Yuan saw the chance, his eight arms moved and the eight lumps of starlight that had accumulated enough energy slammed down.
Bam bam bam…
A series of explosions resounded, the star desolate hound furiously barked, its attack was interrupted.
The giant hound head shook in every direction, flinging off the starlight lumps.
However, Hei Lou Lan obtained the critical opportunity due to this, letting out a fierce attack.
The giant strength path phantom bent its knee and fiercely struck a crucial part between the star desolate hound's rear legs.
Howl——!
The star desolate hound immediately let out an extremely painful cry, its giant body fiercely jumped like it had been electrocuted and bounced around in the lush forest.
Fang Yuan immediately fluttered over, not giving the star desolate hound any time to recover.
He flapped his wings in the sky, moving nimbly like a fly as he threw down lumps of starlight right at the star desolate hound's vital areas like eyes, mouth and anus.
The star desolate hound bounced around everywhere but it was gradually not able to hide from Fang Yuan's crafty attacks and started to whine in pain.
The star desolate hound had defensive wild Gu on it.
But facing a killer move like icy drill stardust, a defense from ordinary wild Gu would not work, instead the defensive Gu would rapidly die when facing icy drill stardust.
Hei Lou Lan controlled her giant strength path phantom and stood up.
"As expected of a desolate beast." Hei Lou Lan sighed in her heart.
The strength path killer move that had never failed her before was actually not able to resist the tyrannical strength of the star desolate hound. Especially this giant strength path phantom, which was the pinnacle transformation of her killer move, and yet was actually not a match against the star desolate hound in terms of strength.
"Since that is the case, then let me use self strength Immortal Gu." Hei Lou Lan gave a sinister smile and was about to attack.
Suddenly, familiar barks came down from the nearby two mountain peaks.
Shortly afterwards, two female star desolate hounds charged into Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan's sight.
Fang Yuan's movement slowed down, Hei Lou Lan's pupils shrunk, and as if they had identical thoughts in mind, they transmitted the same message to each other: "Run!"

Chapter 715: Diamond Soil
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Three star desolate hounds chased, as Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan retreated along the way.
It was not that they could not defeat the three desolate beasts, but they would have to engage in fierce combat and expend a lot of effort to defeat them.
As Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan were inside an unfamiliar environment like Starry Sky grotto-heaven, they would not want to fight with their full strength randomly, especially not against these desolate beasts which they had met by chance, only a fool would do such a thing.
Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan were experienced schemers, this trip of exploring Starry Sky grotto-heaven needed to be handled with caution, they had to preserve their battle strength to deal with unexpected situations.
Especially when the heavenly spirit of Starry Sky grotto-heaven had not shown itself yet.
The heavenly spirit controlled all aspects of the grotto-heaven, when Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan entered, they would have been detected already.
Fang Yuan led the way, flapping his wings continuously, he was extremely fast. He did not dare to fly at high altitude, he only flew near the ground.
Hei Lou Lan was much slower than Fang Yuan, she was behind him as she deeply looked at his wings, thinking and comparing in her heart: "Fang Yuan's current speed is not outstanding, I can reach it. But he can move and maneuver so agilely and precisely, he can swerve around the branches of the trees so freely."
After nearly ten li of flying, the three star desolate hounds behind them stopped and gave up on Hei Lou Lan and Fang Yuan, no longer chasing them.
The two stopped at a tall tree and took a small rest to recover.
Fang Yuan stood on the crown of the tree, trying to decipher their direction, the surrounding mountains were not far from each other, yet they were independent and distinct.
Some mountain peaks had green pines growing on them. Some had only shrubs. Some had no trees and only had weeds and wild flowers — all these were man made arrangements, nature would not have made things so organized.
Fang Yuan could tell.
The owner of Starry Sky grotto-heaven, Seven Star Child, had categorized these mountain peaks into independent areas to nurture different vegetation. This way, he could raise the productivity of specialized products.
"It seems that the owner of this grotto-heaven had spent quite some effort on managing it." Hei Lou Lan walked over, standing beside Fang Yuan and observing the area.
Fang Yuan instead frowned.
This landscape was simply too different from the one in his memories. Did that mean that hundreds of years later, there would be a huge change to Starry Sky grotto-heaven's terrain, causing it to be completely different after it broke apart and collapsed?
This way, Fang Yuan's previous life's memories could not give him any precious help.
Hei Lou Lan directed her gaze towards the small bat wings on Fang Yuan's back, asking with great interest: "Your killer move is not bad, where did you buy it?"
According to the Snowy Mountain Alliance, Fang Yuan could not lie to Hei Lou Lan, but he could choose to not talk about it.
However, true solid bat wings was an ordinary technique of Fang Yuan's, he did not need to hide it.
He answered plainly: "This killer move is based on an improvement of my previous killer move, suited for my immortal zombie body. If you want to use it, you will need to transplant a pair of bat wings onto your back."
Hei Lou Lan heard this and frowned, though not because she was concerned over destroying her image, she pursued strength: "The body of a desolate beast is also an immortal body. Just like the bodies of us Gu Immortals, their bodies contain dao marks and are closer to certain laws. Your pair of bat wings should not have the dao marks of strength path, they are closer to wind path. Transplanting them casually like this, are you not afraid that there would be a conflict between strength path and wind path, resulting in your strength path killer moves weakening?"
Fang Yuan chuckled: "You know about how Reckless Savage Demon Venerable can transform into all sorts of fierce beasts, right?"
"Of course. Reckless Savage Demon Venerable created transformation path, he was the progenitor of transformation path." Hei Lou Lan answered.
"The essence of transformation path is to transform one's own body into a fierce beast or plant, and obtain their strength and abilities at the same time. A transformation path Gu Master can become a wind path bird, fire path tiger, or water path fish, using just one path to project countless paths. Why do their dao marks not interfere with one another?" Fang Yuan asked.
Transformation path Gu Masters who solely transform their bodies had not truly ventured into transformation path.
A truly successful transformation was not only changing one's appearance, but also gaining the beast's respective dao marks.
Gu Immortals who become desolate beasts not only have the strength, defense, and speed of the desolate beast itself, they can even amplify the effect of Gu worms in their respective paths.
"That is because, every time they transform, they will turn into a single fierce beast, they would only have one type of dao mark on their bodies, it is unlike you who has two types of dao marks mixing together, like a Gu Master trying to cultivate two paths. Furthermore, after they transform, they will use their relevant Gu worms to cleanse their bodies, removing all of their current dao marks, before they can transform into a fierce beast which has another dao mark." Hei Lou Lan said.
Fang Yuan laughed arrogantly: "No, that is because they are not good enough yet, their methods are lacking. Reckless Savage Demon Venerable was not like this, he ate immemorial desolate beasts and formed desolate beast totems on his body, encompassing countless dao marks in his body, allowing him to transform at will. When you were undergoing your tribulation, I obtained the true meaning infusions of the Demon Venerable, I have already become a transformation path master."
Hei Lou Lan was truly shocked: "That is to say, you obtained pointers from Reckless Savage Demon Venerable, you have a method to balance different dao marks?"
Fang Yuan nodded, but shook his head soon after: "I am only at master realm, I can only balance three different dao marks. I am also limited by physical transplantation and other restrictions, true solid bat wings can only have up to three pairs of wings, that is the greatest display of my current transformation path master realm attainment."
Hei Lou Lan heard Fang Yuan's words and gained much interest in true solid bat wings: "Sell this movement killer move to me, I will purchase it at a high price!"
Fang Yuan shook his head, rejecting her.
He had modified this killer move after much effort, it was his unique method, how could he give it to someone else?
Unless he no longer needed it in the future, then he would consider selling the simplified version.
Hei Lou Lan was slightly disappointed that Fang Yuan rejected her, but she was not surprised. If their roles were swapped, she would have rejected him as well.
Fang Yuan did not lack immortal essence stones currently.
"I finally understand why you want to kill star demon bats now. What does your information say? A star demon bat is nearby?" Hei Lou Lan asked.
Fang Yuan nodded: "From my information, it is close by. But the terrain here is slightly different, let's look around first."
He had surveyed for a long time, but he could not confirm the location.
The place in his memory was a rotten swamp with poisonous air. But here, there were mountains independent of each other, how could there be a rotten swamp?
Two hours later.
Two figures were attacking a desolate beast.
This desolate beast's body was transparent, like it was made of diamond, its figure resembled a bear, but it was as large as a mammoth, it was a diamond bear that was rarely seen in the five regions.
It was Hei Lou Lan and Fang Yuan fighting the diamond bear.
"Take this." Fang Yuan flew in the air, his eight arms were moving around as they sent out lumps of starlight specks.
The diamond bear stood up, waving its paws and smashing the starlight completely.
Hei Lou Lan transformed into the strength path phantom giant again, she raised her leg and kicked at the diamond bear's belly.
The diamond bear growled, as its diamond-like body shined, Hei Lou Lan's giant strength path phantom's right leg broke.
"This diamond bear's body contains wild Gu worms that counter my strength path giant!" Hei Lou Lan was shocked, retreating immediately.
Killer moves were not invincible, they had weaknesses and could be countered.
But the diamond bear did not want to let Hei Lou Lan go, it pounced in her direction.
Fang Yuan saw this and immediately rushed over, the starlight lumps in his hands were shot out more quickly, like the pelting of raindrops.
At once, the diamond bear was unable to raise its head from the attacks.
"Here's a big one, enjoy it." Fang Yuan raised four of his arms up, summoning a huge icy drill stardust lump that he threw it down.
With a loud explosion, the entire diamond bear was covered by the icy drill stardust.
The diamond bear was assaulted by the stardust, it growled in pain, it had become greatly angered.
Boom!
At the next moment, it charged out of the starlight lump, flying into the sky.
"This bear could fly?" Fang Yuan was the closest to it, caught off guard, he was hit by the diamond bear's raised paws.
Bam.
At the next moment, Fang Yuan was like a cannonball, he flew out, crashing into dozens of large trees before stopping.
His zombie blood was pouring out, with two of the arms used to block the bear paw having been cut off, and three were fractured.
Fang Yuan's mouth twitched, accidents were bound to happen when fighting desolate beasts.
Desolate beasts were not like Gu Immortals, they did not have much intelligence, but as for which wild Gu they had in their bodies, one could not tell upon first contact.
Like earlier, the diamond bear actually dispelled Hei Lou Lan's strength path phantom and flew into the air, causing heavy injuries to Fang Yuan.
Only after suffering some injuries did Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan learn that the diamond bear had very powerful Gu worms on it, not only were there Gu worms that countered the strength path phantom, it even had flying Gu that could raise such a heavy body into the air.
"Retreat!" Fang Yuan shouted to Hei Lou Lan.
Hei Lou Lan had the intention to retreat already, she stopped her killer move and escaped with Fang Yuan.
The diamond bear did not chase after them, it picked up Fang Yuan's two arms and placed them into its mouth, chewing.
Crack, crack…
The diamond bear's teeth were sharp, they easily broke Fang Yuan's immortal zombie arms. It continued to chew, turning the arms into minced meat.
The green zombie blood flowed out from the space between the diamond bear's teeth, and an intense stench spread out.
The diamond bear swallowed the zombie meat with a weird expression, but it immediately opened its mouth and vomited the food that it had just eaten.
What a terrible taste!
The diamond bear had a constipated expression as it looked at Fang Yuan's remaining arm with disgust, slamming it into a mountain rock before moving back to its cave that was at the mountain peak grumpily.
A moment later, Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan sneakily returned.
Fang Yuan picked up the amputated arm, after verifying it, he placed it at a wound on his body.
He used healing Gu worms, and with the recovery ability of the immortal zombie, the amputated arm quickly connected to his wound.
As for the remaining arm, it was chewed up by the diamond bear, Fang Yuan could not use it, he sighed and had to regenerate it himself.
The immortal zombie body was not a mortal body, to regrow limbs, six to eight hours were needed. This was not simply a regrowth of body parts, the relevant strength path dao marks had to be replenished.
Hei Lou Lan looked at the cave entrance at the highest point of the mountain: "In that cave, there are at least fifteen kilograms of diamond soil left."
Diamond soil was formed from the feces of the diamond bear, it was filled with rich nutrients, and was one of the soils that could be sold for a high price in treasure yellow heaven.
Not long ago, Fang Yuan had come to this mountain peak with Hei Lou Lan. While Fang Yuan attracted the bear out of the cave, Hei Lou Lan sneaked in and took hundreds of kilograms of diamond soil, they were worth at least thirty immortal essence stones.
Fang Yuan shook his head: "Fifteen kilograms of diamond soil is not worth the risk. The first time was fine, but if we try a second time, with even more animosity, the diamond bear might not let us off. The diamond bear is sturdy and tough, we will need to pay a huge price to kill it. My goal is the star demon bat, since it is not in this direction, let's try another direction."
