Chapter 716: Star Hall
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Half a day later, Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan had almost searched through this area and seen many desolate beasts, but did not come across the star demon bat.
"Your information seems to be somewhat unreliable." Hei Lou Lan casually sat down on the ground and said while healing her wounds.
There was a long, bloody wound on her left arm which stretched from the back of her palm to her elbow.
This was the mark left behind from the encounter of Hei Lou Lan and Fang Yuan with a desolate beast flying sword rat.
The flying sword rat was small and extremely fast, a bit of carelessness resulted in it slashing its claws at them.
Even if Hei Lou Lan had the Great Strength True Martial Physique, having a strength path extreme immortal body, she had to struggle to heal this wound.
This was because the wound the flying sword rat caused was filled with dao marks of metal path, which were repelling the strength path dao marks of Hei Lou Lan's immortal body, and resisting the extreme immortal body's recovery ability.
A long while later, Hei Lou Lan was able to heal the wound and a thin layer of scab had formed on top of it.
She went up to Fang Yuan; Fang Yuan was sitting on the ground, using his iron-sharp fingernails to draw the outline of the terrain they had explored on a flat rock.
There were dozens of green mountain peaks. Most of the green peaks were the territory of a desolate beast, like the star desolate hound, flying sword rat, diamond bear and so on.
The mountain peaks with no desolate beasts had large numbers of beast groups as well as a sea of Gu worms living together.
Seven Star Child had clearly invested a great amount of effort to manage Starry Sky grotto-heaven, only then could such dense numbers of desolate beasts survive in this piece of territory.
However, the strange thing was there were no ancient desolate beasts.
Ancient desolate beasts were comparable in battle strength to a rank seven, according to common sense, there should be ancient desolate beasts in this outstandingly managed Starry Sky grotto-heaven.
This was only one of the strange aspects.
The second strange aspect was that the heavenly spirit had still not shown itself.
Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan had explored all around and encountered many fights, but were able to smoothly free themselves.
Strictly speaking, they were invaders, but this Starry Sky grotto-heaven was behaving as if it had no heavenly spirit to manage it, and the suppression Fang Yuan had expected did not appear.
The third strange thing was that Fang Yuan could not find the poisonous swamp no matter where he searched.
According to his previous life's memories, the area he was in right now was the same as the small fragment world of the original grotto-heaven, which he had sent his subordinates to explore in his previous life.
Originally, the poisonous swamp should have been near that ancient tree forest, but Fang Yuan was not able to find it.
"Could it be that the poisonous swamp is part of the terrain that only appears after several hundred years? I came here this early, thus I am not able to find it? If that is the case, my plan to hunt star demon bat will end in failure."
Fang Yuan stared at the diagram of the terrain on the rock, and was pondering everything when suddenly a bright light shot out.
He and Hei Lou Lan raised their heads at the same time and looked at the green sky; unknowingly, the sky was filled with countless star specks.
The amount of this starlight grew rapidly and continued to grow. In a blink of an eye, the starlight filled the whole world, drifting in disorderly fashion like snow.
"This is an astronomical change that occurs only in grotto-heavens." Fang Yuan stood up with an alert gaze, activating lion fur armor.
Hei Lou Lan also activated her defensive killer move with a vigilant mind.
The bright starlight shone on all living beings; beast roars resounded from each mountain peak, some clear, some crisp, some long and some hoarse.
Wind surged, the endless specks of starlight suddenly converged on top of a mountain.
After a dazzling blue radiance was sent out, the star specks dispersed and a resplendent giant hall, exquisite and gorgeous, appeared on the mountain peak.
"This hall…." Fang Yuan's pupils enlarged, as he felt a great sense of familiarity with the structure of the hall. It clearly resembled the ruins that had been left behind in the shattered worlds of the grotto-heaven, which had spread everywhere during his previous life.
It was only that the former ruins now showed no trace of damage.
Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan glanced at each other, Hei Lou Lan guessed: "Did the astronomical change occur due to some specific timing and result in the appearance of the hall?"
"Or did the heavenly spirit intentionally set up a trap to lure us in?" Fang Yuan eyes flashed with bright light.
The two only hesitated for a moment before deciding to go in the star hall.
At the same time, in another area of Starry Sky grotto-heaven.
An intense battle was nearing its climax.
"Foul beast, take this king's fist!" A rockman that was as tall as a hill shouted as it smashed down its fist, wind surged and even the air burst.
The desolate beast flying bear could not dodge in time, its head was struck by the giant stone fist and with a loud sound, it crashed down on the ground, smashing a large crater. Stones and soil flew all around, dust surged up and the earth shook for a while.
The rocky giant did not stop, it spread open its two fists then smashed down from high up.
Bam. The two palms heavily smashed at the flying bear's thick, snow-white body.
The flying bear tried to budge but it was not able to let out even a cry. It was already filled with injuries, the punch just before had cracked its skull and caused it to be on the brink of losing consciousness.
Immortal killer move — Earth's Root!
From the center of his two palms, earth qi bubbled, and countless thick and sharp earth spikes protruded out from the ground like spears.
Plop…
The desolate beast flying bear was pierced through instantly by hundreds of earth spikes.
In its last burst of energy, it raised its head, opened its eyes and let out a mournful cry before its energy was completely spent, its body stiffened and its head fell back down to the ground.
Dong. A sound like that of a drum being struck resounded, with dust rising and falling.
An intense scent of hot blood erupted, as it flowed down the stone pillar and quickly dyed the ground red.
The flying bear was dead.
The rocky giant snorted, it suddenly emitted a piercing light. After the light dispersed, a Gu Immortal proudly stood in the air while crossing his arms.
He had short white hair, a pair of golden pupils, broad shoulders and a thin waist. He wore a tight fitting combat uniform and a valiant aura was emitted from him.
A ray of starlight shot over, transforming into a middle-aged man. He was wearing a long robe with wide sleeves and a high hat on his head. He clapped his hands and praised: "As expected of Lord Immortal Monkey King, killing the desolate beast flying bear in just three minutes."
The white haired man with golden pupils was a rank seven Gu Immortal of Combat Immortal Sect, Immortal Monkey King Shi Lei.
Shi Lei looked at the middle-aged man with an indifferent gaze: "Seven star halls have already appeared, Star Lord Wan Xiang, the eighth star hall you spoke of, why has it still not opened?"
This middle-aged man was Star Lord Wan Xiang, who had traded with Fang Yuan several times.
Star Lord Wan Xiang gave a bright smile: "Immortal Monkey King, there's no need to worry. We can only make the eighth star hall appear when we have killed enough desolate beasts and let their blood seep into the ground. We have already killed six desolate beasts but the amount of blood is still not enough."
"How much more desolate beasts should we kill exactly?" Shi Lei asked impatiently.
Star Lord Wan Xiang revealed a thoughtful expression and said after a pause: "According to my annual explorations over the past twenty years and my own speculations, we probably only need to kill one more desolate beast."
"Hmph! You better not deceive me." Shi Lei replied in an overbearing manner.
Star Lord Wan Xiang lowered his head: "I am just a lone cultivator, even if I had ten times the guts, I would not dare to deceive Lord Immortal Monkey King. Based on Central Continent's time, I can only forcibly break into this star path Grotto-Heaven during this point of the year. Moreover, the duration we can stay is only two days, after these two days, the small opening leading to the grotto-heaven will close up and we won't be able to exit. Why would I deceive you when time is so limited? I also want to plunder more resources, but several years ago, I accidentally saw the eighth star hall, that hall was covered in a foreboding atmosphere. The guards of the star hall were all ancient desolate beasts, it definitely is the central control point of this grotto-heaven and it is very likely for the heavenly spirit to be there."
Shi Lei nodded, he believed Star Lord Wan Xiang's words.
He has known Star Lord Wan Xiang for some time and was familiar with the latter's nature.
"Sigh, if not because I had a huge battle with Song Zi Xing and spent large numbers of immortal essence, and that I urgently require large amounts of immortal essence stones to covert into immortal essence due to my blessed land's approaching tribulation, I would not have told such a huge secret to you." Star Lord Wan Xiang sighed.
Shi Lei's tone softened: "Don't worry, I will abide by the agreement, eighty percent of this exploration's battle spoils will go to you while I take twenty percent. Also, I will not tell anyone else about this secret. Later, we will come to explore this grotto-heaven every year."
Right now, only Star Lord Wan Xiang had the special method to enter Starry Sky grotto-heaven, Shi Lei still had not grasped the method.
"Lord Shi Lei has an outstanding reputation, I can be at ease. According to my past explorations, there is a star demon bat not far away and it is rather easy to kill."
"Alright, let's go there. Old rules; when fighting, you stand to the side, don't interfere." Shi Lei was very decisive and immediately started flying rapidly towards the destination.
Star Lord Wan Xiang laughed bitterly while hurriedly following behind.
Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan cautiously entered the star hall.
This star hall had no defenses, there was no one inside, only six large wells in the center of the main hall.
Water was surging inside these six large wells.
The water in the wells were of different colors; red, brown, yellow, blue, purple and white. The well water was glittering and translucent, and emitted slight radiance.
Hei Lou Lan and Fang Yuan used investigative Gu worms to completely check them.
Their discovery was that the well water, the star hall, everything was as normal as they could be. This was naturally impossible. How could an ordinary hall appear out of thin air? How could ordinary well water be of different colors and emit light?
The only explanation was that the six well waters in this star hall were related to the grotto-heaven's astronomical transformations. If so, the mortal investigative Gu of Hei Lou Lan and Fang Yuan were not of high enough level to investigate anything.
The two were unable to distinguish the mysteries of the six wells, and fell into a predicament for a while.
"This color…" Hei Lou Lan observed again and could not help mumbling.
Fang Yuan knew what she was thinking. He remembered when they had just arrived in Starry Sky grotto-heaven, he had looked at the sky. He saw the shadows of six stars in the sky, they were as large as the full moon and were easy to notice.
These six star shadows were the colors of red, brown, yellow, blue, purple and white, the same as these six waters in the wells.
"What connection do they have?" Fang Yuan mumbled and sent a mortal storage Gu inside a well to take out some of the water to study.
However, when the mortal Gu entered the well water, the tranquil and calm well water suddenly moved and formed a whirlpool, swallowing the mortal Gu.

Chapter 717: Killing Star Demon Bat
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The well water quickly settled down, there were no ripples, it was shining brightly.
But the mortal Gu that Fang Yuan tossed in had completely vanished into the water.
Fang Yuan knew that his mortal Gu had not been destroyed yet, because he could still sense its existence.
But this connection was very weak now.
The connection between a Gu Master and Gu worm had much to do with distance. The further the Gu worm is from the Gu Master, the weaker their connection. In that case, when a Gu Master uses the Gu, their mind would send orders, if they gave ten orders, nine might be missed and the Gu worm would only execute one.
Of course, this was in ordinary cases.
A small portion of Gu worms could maintain a strong connection over a huge distance, they could be easily activated even if they were far away. Some Gu worms were even more peculiar, the closer they were to the Gu Master, the weaker their connection, creating distance between them could improve their connection instead.
Fang Yuan originally had a close connection to the mortal Gu, but now the feeling was much weaker, it was like the two were very far apart.
Fang Yuan followed the connection in his mind, slowly deducing the direction and raising his head.
All he saw was the top of the walls in the star hall.
Fang Yuan activated his investigative Gu, in his field of vision, the roof of the star hall became translucent. Fang Yuan's gaze pierced through the roof of the star hall, seeing the six huge circular star shadows in the green sky.
He felt a sensation in his mind, his gaze remained on one of the star shadows. According to the remaining connection he had, he knew that the mortal Gu was on top of that star shadow!
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
The star demon bat's huge wings whipped up fierce winds as countless arrows shot out at the same time.
These arrows were all made of starlight, they flew very quickly, piercing the air. Their numbers were high, flying towards Immortal Monkey King Shi Lei like a storm.
Seeing the large scale attack, Shi Lei scoffed in disdain: "Merely rank two star arrow Gu, except the numbers are a bit high."
Mortal killer move — Fallen Grey Cloak.
Shi Lei's body shook, as a thin layer of yellow-white smoke and dust covered him.
He did not dodge, he allowed the arrows to land on his body.
No matter how many star arrows came, they dissipated after coming into contact with the mortal killer move fallen grey cloak, vanishing in an instant.
The star demon bat lacked intelligence, it could not use killer moves. Although the scale of the wild Gu on its body was large, it could not use Gu in great quantity.
How could such an attack compare to a killer move that a human cultivator came up with painstakingly?
"This time, look at my eagle transformation!" Shi Lei shouted, his body shining in a bright golden light.
As the light dissipated, Shi Lei had vanished, in his place was a desolate beast iron crown eagle.
The iron crown eagle spread its wings, flying in the air, its sharp claws that resembled steel gave off an imposing aura. The size of its body was not any smaller than the star demon bat.
Far away, Star Lord Wan Xiang quietly observed the battle, seeing this, he sighed helplessly.
Immortal Monkey King Shi Lei was a battle maniac, he refused to fight together in each of these battles. Up to this point, Shi Lei had already killed eleven desolate beasts. Every time he fought a desolate beast, he would use a different type of transformation path killer move, to fight using the body of different desolate beasts.
Star Lord Wan Xiang was anxious about the time, he had urged Shi Lei to use his strongest methods. But Shi Lei rejected him, saying that he wanted to use this opportunity to accumulate transformation path battle experience, he did not want to waste any chance he had. By accumulating his foundations, he would eventually trigger a qualitative change, elevating his transformation path realm.
The iron crown eagle flew for a while, before screeching and pouncing towards the star demon bat.
The star demon bat was also screeching, its ruthless nature was awakened as it did not evade, it flapped its wings and collided with the iron crown eagle.
Two huge winged figures were clashing in the sky violently. The star demon bat bit with its mouth, while the iron crown eagle attacked with its beak. The star demon bat scratched with its claws, but the iron crown eagle's talons were just as sharp, they were evenly matched.
The two had exchanged many blows within a moment, they left many injures on each other's body. After a while, they pulled some distance between them.
The star demon bat shrieked loudly in a self-satisfied manner.
The iron crown eagle that Shi Lei had transformed into had lost most of its feathers, it flapped its wings and after much effort, it stabilized its body.
In the battle earlier, the iron crown eagle had suffered a loss, while the star demon bat had the upper hand.
Not only were most of its feathers gone, there was an injury on its stomach, filled with star path dao marks, it bled continuously and prevented the iron crown eagle's body from healing naturally.
Desolate beasts were different from Gu Immortals.
Gu Immortals had weak bodies, their strength rested in Gu worms. Even if strength path Gu Immortals made their bodies extremely strong, it was still from the effects of Gu worms.
Meanwhile, the strength of desolate beasts was in their own bodies. Desolate beasts have strength, defense, and other attributes from birth, this was something humans could only dream of. Especially when a desolate beast gets closer to nature during their growth, and develops more dao marks on their bodies. When they fight in battle, the injuries that desolate beasts cause will have dao marks lingering. Injuries involving dao marks were very hard to get rid of, not only did they resist the body's self healing, they also hindered the use and effect of healing Gu.
Of course, if the desolate beast had an Immortal Gu, the situation would be completely different.
The iron crown eagle shrieked, ignoring its injures and pouncing towards the star demon bat.
The two met in the sky again, after several attacks, the star demon bat found an opening and flapped its wings quickly, slamming on the iron crown eagle's head.
The iron crown eagle went into a daze, falling towards the ground.
The star demon bat flew in the air, flapping its wings thrice at the iron crown eagle.
The first one caused an intense wind to blow, as thousands of wind blades shot out.
The second caused a burst of starlight, over ten thousand star arrows flew out.
The third caused darkness to gather, forming a giant specter that charged towards the iron crown eagle.
The iron crown eagle first crashed onto the ground, causing rocks to fly and a crater to form. Next, after it raised its head, it was cut by the wind blades.
The iron crown eagle shrieked, it endured the attacks and did not retreat, after enduring the wind blade attacks, it had hundreds of light wounds on its body.
It wanted to flap its wings, but the star arrows flew over. These arrows had extraordinary strength, they pierced into the iron crown eagle's body and caused many wounds, but those were not deep.
Next, that specter which had no solid body drilled into the iron crown eagle's mind.
If it was any ordinary desolate beast, they would have been in trouble, but this iron crown eagle was Shi Lei's transformation.
Shi Lei snorted coldly, thoughts and wills moved in his head, destroying the specter in the blink of an eye.
Although he was an earth path Gu Immortal who also cultivated transformation path, he was an established expert, he was a veteran Gu Immortal, he learned a lot about many other paths and had a set of complete defensive measures against Gu worms of other paths.
"Lord Immortal Monkey King…" At the side, Star Lord Wan Xiang shouted in concern.
The iron crown eagle spoke human words, laughing loudly: "Don't interfere, stay at the side, this is my battle!"
Intense fire seemed to be burning in the eagle's eyes, with much determination, Shi Lei flapped his wings and flew up, towards the star demon bat, but was sent flying.
Bang, with a loud sound, the eagle crashed on the ground again.
"Good, interesting!" Shi Lei shouted, he got more excited as he fought, ignoring his injuries, he rushed up again.
He was fighting with something he was not familiar with, in terms of close combat, how could he be the star demon bat's match. In their fight, he quickly fell into a disadvantage.
But every time Shi Lei lost, he would battle again, the eagle's head would rise up highly, and the eagle eyes would always stare at its opponent.
"This maniac…" Star Lord Wan Xiang watched with a grimacing expression.
Shi Lei obviously had defensive moves like fallen grey cloak, but after transforming into the iron crown eagle, he did not use any of them in battle.
This had happened many times in his previous battles as well.
Star Lord Wan Xiang had asked earlier, but Shi Lei's answer was that he was purposely not using them, it was to experience the joy of battle with his own body, this would be the most effective way to raise his battle foundation.
Shi Lei was a battle-addict, he was a fierce man who derived pleasure from fighting.
"Again!" Shi Lei shouted, flapping his wings towards the star demon bat.
The two sides got closer rapidly, seeing that they were about to collide, the star demon bat suddenly flapped its wings, displaying an incredible flying ability, passing the iron crown eagle narrowly.
Whoosh!
The star demon bat suddenly breathed out a shooting star, hitting the iron crown eagle's back.
The iron crown eagle spat out some blood, its body shook as it had to flap its wings to stabilize itself. Next, Star Lord Wan Xiang heard Shi Lei laughing: "Interesting, bullying my flying attainment which is only master level?"
Saying so, he flapped his wings and rushed up.
The star demon bat did not take the attack directly, it retreated while using star path, wind path, or dark path Gu worms to attack its enemy from far away.
The two had fought for a long time, unknowingly, the star demon bat's body was filled with injuries. These injuries all had metal path dao marks, they could not heal any time soon.
Of course, the injuries on the iron crown eagle were at least twice as severe as the star demon bat.
But Shi Lei fought crazily, it struck fear in the star demon bat, this dominating desolate beast that ruled over a mountain felt some apprehension and did not dare to fight directly.
The star demon bat's intelligence was low, what it was doing was giving on its advantage and fighting with its weakness.
It had mortal Gu on it, although they could disturb Shi Lei, they were not as dangerous to him as fighting at close range.
The iron crown eagle did not use any defensive methods as usual, but its aura was surging as it dodged left and right, finally getting close to the star demon bat.
After shrieking loudly, the eagle claw grasped downwards at it.
The star demon bat dodged agilely, but Shi Lei found an opening.
In terms of flying attainment, the star demon bat which had been flying its entire life was at least a flying grandmaster.
The star demon bat pulled some distance, using Gu worms to attack at a range, while the iron crown eagle tried to get close to engage in close combat with it. In this fashion, the two fought for a while, the star demon bat was bound to mess up at some point, finally, the iron crown eagle found a flaw and used its eagle claws to tear the bat wings.
With a hole in the bat wings, the star demon bat's flying ability fell drastically. Before it could adapt to the injury, the iron crown eagle found even more flaws.
Shi Lei pursued it during this prime opportunity, after enduring the star demon bat's final struggle, he killed it.
The star demon bat landed on the ground, its blood was pouring like a river.
The ground absorbed the blood, just like what Star Lord Wan Xiang said, a formless energy had been activated.
In the sky, starlight appeared again.

Chapter 718: Starshine Fake Eye Gu
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The specks of starlight coiled around and fluttered for a while before gathering high up in the air and forming a completely new star hall.
Different from the previous star halls, this star hall was floating in the air, its design was exquisite, giving off a majestic beauty that was far above those star halls on the mountains.
"The eighth star hall has finally appeared. My speculation was indeed correct!" Star Lord Wan Xiang spoke with excitement.
Shi Lei canceled the iron crown eagle transformation and returned to his human form. The injuries on his body were still recovering, the blood flow had yet to stop. He indifferently glanced at the sky with his golden pupils: "No wonder you guessed that this was the grotto-heaven's central control point, looking at its appearance, it is very likely to be that."
He grimaced in pain and sat down, healing the wounds.
His healing was in no way simple, he first used large numbers of Gu worms to eliminate the dao marks of star path, wind path, dark path and other paths that had filled the wounds, only then did he use healing Gu worms which showed visible effects.
Star Lord Wan Xiang waited for a little while and when he saw Shi Lei's injuries were roughly treated, he finally could not endure and urged him: "Your healing is almost done right? Time is limited, Lord Immortal Monkey King. The prerequisite for the eighth star hall to appear is that the other seven star halls should be formed first. Every time the seven star halls appear, they will only exist for fifteen minutes. When the seven star halls disappear, the eighth star hall will also disappear."
"Why are you in a hurry? If you are in such a rush, you can enter it first." Shi Lei opened his eyes and coldly glanced at Star Lord Wan Xiang.
"Lord Shi Lei is jesting, my battle strength has fallen to the depths, I still need to rely on lord to break through the ancient desolate beasts' defenses." Star Lord Wan Xiang chuckled and did not speak any further.
However, his fists that were hidden inside his sleeves were tightly clenched, if not for his strength plummeting and the tribulation coming soon, why would he reveal this treasury on his own initiative? And why would he have to be forced to bottle up his frustration?
He knew Shi Lei's scheme and intentions.
Shi Lei was a battle-addict, unreasonable and unruly, but he was in no way stupid.
Everyone who reached a high position had their own outstanding points. The outstanding and famous Shi Lei did not lack shrewdness.
Shi Lei accepted Star Lord Wan Xiang's invitation to come to Starry Sky grotto-heaven to plunder resources. But he did not put in his full effort, he was interested in breaking through the eighth star hall, but he was not willing to see Star Lord Wan Xiang obtain large numbers of resources to pull through the difficulties and escape his grasp.
If Star Lord Wan Xiang does not obtain a fortune in this trip, he would have to request help from others when undergoing the tribulation. Shi Lei could help him then and also obtain a greater grasp on him.
When that happens, in their future visits to Starry Sky grotto-heaven, Shi Lei could obtain larger benefits which would absolutely not be in an eighty to twenty ratio like in this trip.
Every year, Starry Sky grotto-heaven would reveal a tiny gap which allowed Gu Immortals to enter it. Every time, the Gu Immortals could only stay inside for two days of Central Continent's time.
There were abundant desolate beasts and resources in Starry Sky grotto-heaven, it was clearly a small but steady source of resources. Star Lord Wan Xiang was a prime example of this, he was obviously a lone cultivator, but with each of his visits to Starry Sky grotto-heaven, he was able to strengthen himself to the extent that his peak battle strength did not lose out to the majority of Gu Immortals of the ten great ancient sects. Even when fighting Song Zi Xing, he had even been able to make a good record of himself.
After a while, Shi Lei's injuries healed completely with no traces of injuries anywhere on him.
Because of the previous oath, Shi Lei could not push it too far; he examined his body once then stood up: "Sorry to keep you waiting, we can now go in."
Star Lord Wan Xiang put on a smiling expression and shook his head: "It was me who was overly anxious, I have to ask Immortal Monkey King to not blame me. More preparations quicken the speed of the work, I will still have to rely on your strength a lot more."
Shi Lei bluntly nodded: "Naturally."
He stamped his foot and charged straight into the sky.
Star Lord Wan Xiang followed closely behind.
The two immortals moved towards the eighth star hall in the sky together.
At the same time, Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan also jumped out of a well.
"This is another star hall." Fang Yuan said as he scanned his surroundings.
Hei Lou Lan nodded: "We used many methods to test and we were not wrong, these six wells are passages."
The two gazed behind them.
The center of this star hall also had six wells.
But the colors were slightly different from the previous star hall.
In the previous star hall, the six well waters were of red, brown, yellow, blue, purple and white color. However, the six well waters here emitted the colors of red, brown, yellow, blue, green and white.
Purple was gone and green was added.
Hei Lou Lan and Fang Yuan looked at each other. Both were clever and shrewd, and they both obtained an understanding.
"What do you think of it?" Hei Lou Lan asked.
Fang Yuan grinned, showing his sharp, jagged canines as he replied with his hoarse voice: "If I am not wrong, this Starry Sky grotto-heaven has a special terrain, there are a total of seven spaces. These seven spaces are isolated and independent of each other, outsiders can only enter or exit them through the six wells in the star halls."
Hei Lou Lan nodded and picked up a Gu worm from the ground: "This is the mortal Gu you tossed earlier into the purple well water, it is the best proof. If my speculation is right, there is also another form of proof, that is the sky. When we go out of this star hall, this space's sky should also have six round shadows of stars. The difference should be that there instead of a purple star shadow, there should be a green star shadow."
Fang Yuan agreed with Hei Lou Lan's speculation.
Normal grotto-heavens and blessed lands would have integrated spaces. But Starry Sky grotto-heaven was special, it was actually divided into seven spaces, and every space had an independent sky, earth and ecology.
In his previous life, what Fang Yuan explored was only the fragment world of Starry Sky grotto-heaven and he did not know of this layer of mystery.
He and Hei Lou Lan finished discussing and they walked out of the door of the hall, gazing at the sky.
They saw six round star shadows like six full moons floating in the air, Hei Lou Lan clapped her hands and gave a bright smile: "Just like I guessed."
"Wait, someone is here!" Fang Yuan's pupils shrunk as he looked at the moving objects in the distance and happened to see Shi Lei and Star Lord Wan Xiang rapidly flying. Following the direction they were flying towards, Fang Yuan discovered the eighth star hall.
"This star hall seems to be of a higher standard, it is hovering in the air and is being coveted by others, it is very likely that it is the central control point of Starry Sky grotto-heaven." Hei Lou Lan guessed, her gaze stuck on the eighth star hall.
"There are actually others who are one step ahead of us!" Fang Yuan mumbled. He was shocked internally, according to his previous estimation, Starry Sky grotto-heaven was a place with no one but the heavenly spirit existing in it.
If not for this, Starry Sky grotto-heaven should not have fallen in his previous life.
However, the current situation was that he saw no signs of the heavenly spirit and instead saw two Gu Immortals.
As for the Gu Immortals' appearances and identities, the distance between them was very far so Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan were not able to see clearly.
However, the two felt that these neither of these two Gu Immortals were the owners of this grotto-heaven. If one of them was the owner of this grotto-heaven, they would have already sensed Hei Lou Lan and Fang Yuan, and would have acted by now.
"What's strange about it? You could obtain the secret intelligence about Starry Sky grotto-heaven from some source, does that mean other Gu Immortals cannot?" Hei Lou Lan was able to accept this fact much more easily than Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan laughed bitterly in his heart.
He had concealed from Hei Lou Lan that the so-called information source was, in fact, his own self.
However, it seemed that the truth and his preconceptions were vastly different.
The first possible cause for this situation would be Fang Yuan's rebirth constantly influencing the various events in the world, causing a butterfly effect. The second possible reason was there was a lot of details behind the scenes regarding the fall of Starry Sky grotto-heaven in his previous life, it was just that he did not know about them and now in this life, he ran across one of the inside stories.
Fang Yuan's thoughts ebbed and flowed, inclining towards the second cause.
At this moment, sounds of fighting came from the eighth star hall.
"Looks like these two Gu Immortals are of similar status to us, they are also outsiders. But, they are a step ahead of us." Hei Lou Lan's gaze flickered.
Fang Yuan did not reply, he just snickered, his laughter was cold.
Hei Lou Lan also silently grinned.
These two were formidable characters and were also schemers. Right now, the enemy was in the open while they were in the dark and both felt they had a had huge advantage, they could even be said to be the oriole in the saying 'the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind'.
Immediately, Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan activated large numbers of mortal Gu to hide their bodies and restrain their auras, as well as using many kinds of investigative methods to scout.
The two quietly closed the star hall's door, got rid of all their traces and slowly moved outside.
After a while, Fang Yuan who was walking in front suddenly stopped and warned Hei Lou Lan: "Slow down, there is a rank five investigative Gu ahead."
Hei Lou Lan carefully probed, and saw an eye-like small Gu worm quietly hovering in the air. Its eyes were slowly moving around, constantly scanning its surroundings.
The two were not surprised.
With just one look, one could see this Gu worm was not a wild Gu and was clearly left behind by the two Gu Immortals from before.
This was expected.
Previously, when Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan had explored the space relating to the green star shadow, they had also left behind similar investigative Gu to keep watch on their paths.
After becoming a Gu Immortal, one no longer lacked mortal Gu.
These mortal Gu could let the Gu Immortal constantly scan their surroundings, mark the area, warn them and many other uses.
Hei Lou Lan was young, she had just advanced into a Gu Immortal, thus was not able to recognize this Gu's details, giving a suggestion of caution: "Let's detour."
Fang Yuan smiled: "No need. This Gu is starshine fake eye Gu, it has a long range sensing ability, Gu Immortals can observe the situation of the surroundings through it. Its scope is five li, it cannot detect stealth, and not only does using this Gu constantly consume primeval essence, it also burdens the soul. We can use methods to be invisible and boldly go past it."
At the same time, Fang Yuan added in his mind: 'This Gu worm is often used together with true sight Gu which can then detect stealth and invisibility. But that is the situation during the five regions chaotic war, the true sight Gu is still being held by some small sect right now and has not been wantonly spread."
Hei Lou Lan glanced at Fang Yuan, still not feeling relieved: "Are you sure you are not wrong? Gu Immortals research new Gu all the time, maybe this Gu worm is a newly researched Gu that can see through invisibility?"
Fang Yuan snickered: "You think I only looked at it with my eyes and did not use other Gu worms to check it? Don't worry, eight or nine out of ten Gu Immortals are flying masters, but having even two to three refinement path masters out of ten would be pretty good. Refinement path is considerably harder to advance compared to other paths."

Chapter 719: Small methods have profound meaning, the more one understands the more shocking it is
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Fang Yuan spoke with such certainty that Hei Lou Lan chose to believe him.
The two hid their bodies and swaggered into starshine fake eye Gu's range, and they indeed did not attract any Gu Immortal's attention.
Along the way, the two found similar types of investigative Gu like starshine fake eye Gu.
Some of these Gu worms were buried in the ground, some were disguised as tree leaves, and some were hidden in brooks, drifting with the water.
Fang Yuan used his methods one by one, sometimes invisibility, sometimes Gu worms directed at countering them, or tunneling under the ground or swimming through water, all kinds of methods to slip past these investigative Gu worms.
The two had wanted to move until they were below the eighth star hall, and the shortest way would be a straight line to the eighth star hall. If they got a chance, they could also quickly react and use the shortest amount of time to charge to the eighth star hall, and fish benefits from the messy situation.
However, as they walked through this straight line, a bloody odor assailed their noses from ahead.
Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan glanced at each other, the latter revealed a doubtful look as she used her divine sense to transmit: "Strange, both the amount of investigative Gu in this path and their types are increasing more and more."
"Let's take a look." Fang Yuan replied.
The two cautiously evaded or deceived the investigative Gu worms, and discovered further traces of battle.
After a while, they finally reached the area where there was the most intense odor of blood.
They saw a black leopard's corpse lying on the shattered and disordered pile of rocks.
The black leopard was as large as an elephant. Its fur was glossy and shiny, full of wild charm. The remaining aura showed the black leopard's identity, a genuine desolate beast.
"This desolate beast is a vanishing shadow leopard." Fang Yuan said in a low voice.
"It is that someone killed this vanishing shadow leopard and yet left behind its corpse here?" Hei Lou Lan revealed a trace of doubt.
Fang Yuan squatted down near the ground, and used his hand to feel the gully beside his legs.
He then took out a time path Gu worm and carefully activated it.
This Gu worm had the appearance of a crystal sphere, and was an extremely rare rank five Gu. Its name was backtrack Gu, an investigative Gu under time path, which could backtrack to the past events within a specific range.
Backtrack Gu was activated; it displayed a blurry and mute battle scene.
In the scene, two giant figures were in an intense battle while a small figure was standing far away to the side.
Backtrack Gu was only a rank five mortal Gu, and whether it was Shi Lei, the vanishing shadow leopard or Star Lord Wan Xiang, they were all rank six or above, immortal bodies and desolate beast bodies had dao marks, thus backtrack Gu's investigative ability was restrained greatly.
Hei Lou Lan came closer and watched the battle.
The mute battle scene was extremely blurry. But they could roughly guess that one of them was the vanishing shadow leopard from the approximate build.
And the one battling with the vanishing shadow leopard did not seem to be a human but a tiger desolate beast.
The one standing far away had a human shape and could be a Gu Immortal. But their appearance was blurry and they could not be sure.
Not only this, the battle scene broken off intermittently and was not coherent.
Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan observed the battle with all their attention, for a moment, other than the slight breeze in the mountains, there was no other sound.
After a dozen breaths of time, scorching smoke started to curl up from the backtrack Gu and the battle scene suddenly disappeared.
The backtrack Gu had died as a result of forcibly recreating the image of the Gu Immortal level battle.
Fang Yuan felt slight heartache, and put the scorched corpse of backtrack Gu back inside his immortal aperture to get rid of any traces.
He had been gathering this backtrack Gu from treasure yellow heaven recently but even then, he only had a total of fifty to sixty. This was still the case when the five regions were in peaceful times, during the chaotic war of the regions, backtrack Gu would be widely used and very hard to get, it would be a case where one would have to produce them for their own use, treasure yellow heaven would simply have none for sale.
Hei Lou Lan was very interested: "This Gu worm is quite ingenious, what is its name, did you buy it in treasure yellow heaven?"
The varieties of Gu worms in existence were as vast as the ocean. Moreover, Hei Lou Lan cultivated strength path, not time path, and her understanding of other paths was only at the basics, limited to the typically used Gu worms.
Gu worms like backtrack Gu were classified as rare Gu of another path, it was normal for her to not know of it.
Fang Yuan did not reply, instead he took out another Gu.
He had refined this Gu himself based to his memories. According to the course of history, this Gu should have only appeared three hundred years later, its name was thread trace Gu.
Its appearance was quite special, resembling a small horsewhip which children from Northern Plains played with as toys. Fang Yuan used his enormous, monstrous zombie claws to grab it, making its small size even more apparent.
Fang Yuan grabbed the handle of the horsewhip and softly whipped at the air in front of him.
Crack. The empty air suddenly showed traces of marks.
"What is this?" Hei Lou Lan gazed at the marks without blinking.
Crack crack crack.
Fang Yuan whipped the horsewhip like thread trace Gu repeatedly, the marks in the air continued to increase.
Hei Lou Lan watched the whole process and soon was able to sense that the space Fang Yuan was whipping at was the area where the fight in the battle scene had occurred, and also the area where that blurry Gu Immortal had been standing.
As various thoughts flashed past, Hei Lou Lan's pupils slightly enlarged, blurting: "Could these marks be dao marks?"
Fang Yuan gave a contented smile at this moment: "Right, they are dao marks. Whether it be Gu Immortals or desolate beasts, they are filled with dao marks, and any area they stop at will leave behind dao marks for a short period of time. It is just that these dao marks are extremely weak, that even Gu Immortals paying close attention won't be able to sense them, that is, unless they use this thread trace Gu that I researched. From observing these dao marks, I can infer some information on them."
Fang Yuan once again brazenly took on someone else's creation from his previous life as his own.
"Thread trace Gu…." Hei Lou Lan mumbled, her gaze towards Fang Yuan had changed a little.
Fang Yuan pointed towards the area where Star Lord Wan Xiang had stood previously: "Look, the dao marks have manifested and formed a human shape. The color is azure blue which means a star path Gu Immortal had been observing the battle. The greater portion of the dao marks had stayed there and although there are some dao marks in the surroundings, they are mostly tightly enclosed around the greater portion, this means that star path Gu Immortal had only been observing from the side during the whole battle. And looking at the concentration of the dao marks, it seems to be a rank six Gu Immortal."
Hei Lou Lan looked at the direction Fang Yuan pointed towards and listened to him, paying full attention.
Fang Yuan then pointed at the area where the vanishing shadow leopard died, there were remaining dao marks of black color for dark path and red color for fire path.
He continued: "The dark path dao marks clearly belong to the vanishing shadow leopard while the red colored dao marks belong to the existence that killed the vanishing shadow leopard. As for their identity, whether they are man or beast, that is still not certain. Look at how concentrated these dao marks are and how they are intertwined with each other, this shows that the battle was very intense. The dark path dao marks are sparse while the red colored dao marks are rather dense, we can deduce that the existence that killed the vanishing shadow leopard is also at least of rank six realm."
Hei Lou Lan's mouth widened slightly as she listened to Fang Yuan.
Her gaze towards the thread trace Gu in Fang Yuan's hand became slightly burning.
This thread trace Gu was only a rank five mortal Gu, but it was very useful. With just this Gu, one could infer so much useful information.
The key thing was the thoughts involved in refining it were very special, and it could even be said to have blazed an unexpected new trail that bypasses common logic.
Hei Lou Lan might have just recently advanced into a Gu Immortal, but she understood the importance of information and started to give more significance to Fang Yuan 'invention', thread trace Gu.
Had Shi Lei and Star Lord Wan Xiang been here, they would probably be soaked in cold sweat.
They had used mainstream investigative methods and counter-investigative methods, but thread trace Gu just happened to pierce through the gap in them. Fang Yuan's methods were from the time of the chaotic war of the five regions after all, the materialization of the intelligence of the whole five regions, it was like they were over half an era ahead of current Gu Immortals, naturally they had huge superiority!
Crack crack crack.
Fang Yuan lashed the horsewhip several times, many more dao marks appeared but also many more disappeared.
These dao marks were very weak and were gathered together by thread trace Gu, thus greatly shortening their already limited lifespan.
Dao marks entangled mutually, getting more disorderly. Fang Yuan finally stopped lashing the horsewhip and sighed: "This is more or less the ability of this thread trace Gu, the manifestation of dao marks lasts only for a period of time and requires the observer to have plenty of experience. Moreover, activating Immortal Gu also leaves behind responding dao marks. In an intense battle, many abilities and methods are used, causing the dao marks to entangle and become extremely chaotic with no way to infer anything. However, fortunately, few methods were used in this battle, so we are able to roughly understand the situation."
Hei Lou Lan's eyelids twitched.
Inferring so much useful information with a mere rank five mortal Gu and still not satisfied?
Her gaze firmly locked upon the thread trace Gu until Fang Yuan stored it back in his immortal aperture. She keenly discovered that the formerly intact thread trace Gu's whip-like body was full of cracks now. Clearly, there was a price to pay for manifesting the dao marks.
Hei Lou Lan inwardly estimated, this thread trace Gu could be used for two more times at the minimum. Immediately, her evaluation of thread trace Gu increased by another level.
It could be used for a total of three times!
A mere rank five Gu worm could be used three times to investigate into existences of rank six level and obtain so much information.
Just as Hei Lou Lan was unable to endure and was about to ask if Fang Yuan was selling thread trace Gu, Fang Yuan took out another investigative Gu worm.
This was only a qi path Gu worm which Fang Yuan used to draw in the surrounding scents.
Next, Fang Yuan stored this qi path Gu worm and took out another Gu worm.
He moved everywhere around the battlefield and activated Gu worms from time to time. Hei Lou Lan was only able to recognize a small portion of these Gu worms, but it was also not to the extent where she was certain. The remaining greater portion, Hei Lou Lan simply had no idea, unable to recognize any of them.
She subconsciously pursed her lips, as she for the first time felt that Fang Yuan had unfathomable depths.
During the journey in Northern Plains, she only felt that Fang Yuan was experienced and astute, and a major enemy. When cooperating with Fang Yuan, she had no choice but to do so, and was very aware that it was asking for favors from a tiger.
She got Fang Yuan's help to pass through her tribulation and become a Gu Immortal, she had thought she could suppress Fang Yuan a notch. But soon, Fang Yuan used her and Fairy Li Shan to scare even Immortal Crane Sect's Gu Immortals away. The whole thing was won before engaging in battle, which gave no chance for Hei Lou Lan to make a move. Since there was no loss in battle, Fang Yuan did not have to pay twice the compensation, it was akin to him obtaining his objective without losing anything.
In contrast, to coax Fang Yuan to make an effort, Hei Lou Lan had to give the precious true meaning infusion of Reckless Savage Demon Venerable to him. Fang Yuan was also truly ruthless, he swallowed it whole without leaving behind anything to Hei Lou Lan.
Later, Fang Yuan started the guts Gu business and took the initiative to share profits with Hei Lou Lan and Fairy Li Shan. Although he needed Hei Lou Lan's strength qi Immortal Gu in the process, Hei Lou Lan did not feel comfortable the whole time, it seemed as if she was being controlled.
Now, Hei Lou Lan felt a shiver in her heart as she looked at Fang Yuan using these methods.
These small methods all used mortal Gu and were seemingly unremarkable, but Hei Lou Lan was a discerning person, how could she not understand the profound significance represented by these small methods!

Chapter 720: Picking them up one by one, a windfall of a great fortune
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After Hei Lou Lan ascended to an immortal, she was taught by Fairy Li Shan, guided step by step, she was instructed in almost all aspects.
Thus, in terms of investigative methods, Hei Lou Lan was not inferior to ordinary Gu Immortals.
"But Fang Yuan's foundation is so deep, he is evidently miles ahead of most Gu Immortals now. Although I have several Immortal Gu, can I be like Fang Yuan and create new Gu independently, to modify and perfect my own killer moves?"
Hei Lou Lan shook her head internally.
Her strength path killer move was given to her by her mother.
To refine new Gu, one had to create new Gu recipes. This process not only required resources and ample foundation in that path, one also needed inspiration and luck!
Hei Lou Lan was indeed a Gu Immortal, but she was too young, she was not a refinement path master, and not even skilled in refinement path. Foundation could only be attained after a long period of trial and error, of exploring and accumulating experiences slowly.
At this point, Fang Yuan walked back, he hummed: "Summing up all of the clues, I mostly know the other party's identities already."
"Oh?"
"One is a rank six star path Gu Immortal, he has not made a move yet and is more mysterious. The other is an earth path Gu Immortal who cultivates transformation path as well, he has a powerful aura and using Gu worms, I caught a trace of his voice, this is likely Shi Lei from Combat Immortal Sect in Central Continent." Fang Yuan said.
"That Immortal Monkey King?" Hei Lou Lan and Fang Yuan had shared most of their information, she naturally knew who Shi Lei was.
She started to frown, finding it a little troublesome.
Shi Lei was a rank seven Gu Immortal, he had outstanding battle strength. Even though Hei Lou Lan had several strength path Immortal Gu, Shi Lei had earth path Immortal Gu and had even created his own unique immortal killer moves long ago. In addition, he even cultivated transformation path, his battle talent was exceedingly rare.
Hei Lou Lan had Immortal Gu Self Strength, using it to activate her former mortal killer move, forming a giant strength path phantom, that could barely be considered an immortal killer move.
Up to this point, Hei Lou Lan had been attempting to improve and modify it, but her progress was slow.
"Fang Yuan, if you use the myriad self killer move, and cooperate with me, we might be able to resist the Immortal Monkey King. But in that case, we will not be able to deal with the mysterious star path Gu Immortal." Hei Lou Lan muttered.
Fang Yuan laughed bitterly: "I have not told you yet, but because the core Immortal Gu is starving, myriad self cannot be used anymore. All I can use are mortal killer moves."
Hei Lou Lan looked at Fang Yuan deeply, squinting: "In other words, we should avoid fighting with the other party directly."
Roar roar roar—!
High in the air, there was loud growling noises.
Fang Yuan raised his head and looked: "There are bound to be injuries when two sides fight, we should just go with the flow and observe the situation now. Although our battle strength is lower than them, if we find the chance, it is not necessarily the case that we can't have them killed. In the worst case, I still have Fixed Immortal Travel, we can definitely resist them while we find the time to activate Fixed Immortal Travel."
Hei Lou Lan nodded in agreement, Fang Yuan's words were very similar to her own thoughts.
The two decided to devour the loot in front of them first.
The vanishing shadow leopard corpse was quite a fortune. Even though there were large numbers of investigative Gu around, they could not stop the old demon Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan had methods that were ahead by half of an era, he made his moves, sealing or deceiving the investigative Gu. A moment later, they obtained the vanishing shadow leopard's corpse without alerting Star Lord Wan Xiang.
"This vanishing shadow leopard's fur can be used to make many defensive Gu. The bones can be made into shadow attachment Gu, shadow tracing Gu and others, the eyes are top tier materials for making dark vision Gu and dark fog Gu. It is a pity its blood had already been lost completely. Otherwise, it would be even more valuable." Hei Lou Lan placed the vanishing shadow leopard corpse into her immortal aperture, her eyes shining with a joyful light.
"The other party seems to be letting it bleed on purpose, it seems that the star hall in the air is truly an important place. They even ignored the desolate beast corpse for now." Fang Yuan showed an interested expression as he pondered.
His immortal aperture was filled with death energy, it was not good for keeping corpses fresh, thus he placed the vanishing shadow leopard in Hei Lou Lan's hands.
The two were fearless and unscrupulous people.
Even if the other party was strong, they dared to continue plotting against them.
Next, they followed their original plan and secretly advanced, trying to get close to the eighth star hall in the air.
But along the way, they quickly made a new discovery.
"The number of investigative Gu ahead have increased, does that mean…" Hei Lou Lan's gaze shone with anticipation.
After a while, the two avoided all of the investigative Gu, passing a mountain ridge and into a valley.
In the valley, there was a desolate beast corpse, resembling a small hill.
It was like a colt, it had a huge, bright red body with thick legs, dark as steel, its body was strong, muscular and bulky.
Its mane and tail were vibrant and golden in color.
Blood was dripping from the holes all over its body. The blood was scalding hot, and the heat spread to the surrounding trees and plants, causing them to wilt.
Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan gradually got closer, feeling a heat that was like a blisteringly hot summer day.
"This is the desolate beast blazing divine stallion, it has many fire path wild Gu on it and can walk on fire. Its blood is extremely hot and is a top tier material in refining fire path Gu worms, it is very rare even in treasure yellow heaven."
Hei Lou Lan's heart bled as she looked at the horse blood flowing out.
The two worked for a while, getting their hands on the blazing divine stallion, while Star Lord Wan Xiang still had absolutely no idea.
After leaving this valley, the two moved stealthily, but Fang Yuan slowed his footsteps.
"Our destination is up ahead. But towards the left, there are large numbers of investigative Gu, should we go take a look?" Fang Yuan looked at Hei Lou Lan, transmitting.
"Of course." Hei Lou Lan's reply was very curt.
The two came to the area that was filled with investigative Gu, they found a desolate beast corpse as expected.
This was a yellow jade lion.
Its body was like an elephant, lying on the ground with its eyes mostly closed, only opened by a slit. Large amounts of yellow blood flowed along the wound on its stomach, pouring out.
Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan stealthily moved closer, but this yellow jade lion's body shook, it tried to open its eyes as its bloody mouth opened slightly, emitting a barely discernible growl, as if it wanted to continue battling.
"This yellow jade lion truly has a courageous nature. To be able to hurt the yellow jade lion to this extent, this Shi Lei's transformation path battle strength is greater than I thought." Hei Lou Lan praised.
Fang Yuan was overjoyed.
He quickly made his move, after deceiving many of the surrounding investigative methods, he stole the yellow jade lion.
He patted with his hand, as large numbers of healing Gu flew out of his aperture, landing on the yellow jade lion, rapidly stabilizing its injuries and keeping it alive.
"You intend to save it?" Hei Lou Lan was slightly surprised.
Fang Yuan nodded: "Saving it is a hundred times easier than capturing another desolate beast alive, why shouldn't we? You can keep this desolate beast in your immortal aperture for now, be careful and keep it safe, this will be part of my share."
This way, as long as things progressed well, the mission that Fang Yuan agreed upon with Lang Ya land spirit would be completed.
Hei Lou Lan placed the yellow jade lion into her immortal aperture, her gaze was shining as she seemed to have made up her mind, saying: "The three desolate beasts we had encountered had their blood drained for some reason. Very likely, Shi Lei's group is trying to complete some procedure. Maybe this was the reason why the star hall in the sky appeared. After all, when we first appeared in this place, the sky was still empty. How many desolate beast corpses do you think are around here now?"
Fang Yuan laughed upon hearing this: "Even if you did not mention this, I was going to talk about it. Indeed, looking at this situation, there are definitely many desolate beast corpses around. One desolate beast corpse can be sold for around forty immortal essence stones optimally. It is truly an effortless profit for us to pick up these desolate beast corpses. The benefits are huge, yet we are paying zero costs. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, moreover, we might not have the opportunity again. We should secure these profits first, that is the safest measure."
The two had the same plot in mind, they changed their tactics and started scouring for desolate beast corpses.
They could not use investigative Gu openly, but the clues were very obvious.
Star Lord Wan Xiang's original plan was to keep these desolate beast corpses around first, and deal with them after taking down the eighth star hall.
The aura of these desolate beasts was still around, with that to induce fear, he was not afraid of wild beasts devouring them.
Shi Lei was in charge of fighting, while Star Lord Wan Xiang was in charge of setting up investigative Gu worms. Naturally, he would place more investigative Gu around the corpses of the desolate beasts.
But he would never have guessed that putting all of these investigative Gu together was the biggest clue in itself, they were guides for Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan to find the corpses.
"This is the chestnut yak, its meat tastes like chestnut, it can be eaten raw. It has a mild nature and is a somewhat unusual desolate beast. Mm, let's keep it, keep it." Hei Lou Lan was laughing happily.
"Oh, there is a golden pangolin. It is a pity its armor is tattered, otherwise, it could be sold for a higher price." Fang Yuan said with some disappointment.
"Flying bear, there is a flying bear corpse. Great, excellent, I want this corpse!" Hei Lou Lan was overjoyed.
"Hmm? Star demon bat! I knew this rotten poisonous swamp was very familiar. It is a pity that the bat wings are in bad shape, it would greatly affect my movement speed if I transplant it like this. I wonder if I can fix it first." Fang Yuan also stole the corpse of the star demon bat.
He felt some regret, but he quickly got over it.
After all, he did not battle the bat himself, why would Shi Lei care about his plans. Obtaining the corpse without any cost, this was already a huge gain.
He had not felt such good luck in a long time.
The two obtained nearly ten desolate beast corpses, it was a windfall. After the two searched around and ensured that there was no lingering desolate beast corpses, they hurried towards the bottom of the eighth star hall.
But when they arrived, a figure like a small hill crashed onto the ground.
With a loud bang, it landed and caused the mountain rocks to shatter, dust and smoke was rising.
"This is the ancient desolate beast, astral wind flying heavenly boar!"
"It is dead! This is the corpse of an ancient desolate beast."
Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan made eye contact, after communicating through transmission, they were evidently moved!

Chapter 721: Walking Meat Tree
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The corpse of the ancient desolate beast, astral wind flying heavenly boar, was right in front of them.
Although Hei Lou Lan and Fang Yuan were moved, they did not close in on it.
The two looked up towards the sky at the same time.
They saw that high in the air, the eighth star hall was shaking slightly. Loud explosions and the growls of fierce beasts could be heard from within the hall.
With a loud bang, the star hall shook intensely, a pillar of fire burst up from the roof of the star hall, creating a huge hole on it.
The star hall was not made of ordinary material, it was formed from the phenomenon in the grotto-heaven. At the area of the roof that was broken, starlight was emitting from it, as the hole continued to spread outwards.
A pillar of smoke flew up outwards into the sky.
"What an intense battle." Hei Lou Lan sighed.
"Fight, fight, the more intense the better it is." Fang Yuan muttered.
In the eighth star hall, it was a mess, the two sides were fiercely engaged in combat.
A heavily injured desolate beast flame tiger growled loudly, shooting out a fireball from its mouth.
The fireball shot a huge tree, while it was in the air, the flame tiger moved its claws and followed behind the fireball, attacking towards the huge tree.
The huge tree moved its huge branches.
Its branches were very peculiar, they were like soft and thick octopus tentacles.
With a loud thud, a tentacle-like branch destroyed a fireball.
With another whipping noise, a branch swung over, causing the flame tiger who was behind the fireball to be sent flying.
The flame tiger cried out in pain, it flew for up to a hundred steps and crashed onto the ground. With a burst of bright light, it returned to a human form — it was Immortal Monkey King Shi Lei.
Shi Lei spat out three teeth, his expression was excited and crazed: "What a great walking meat tree, as expected of something of legend, this ancient desolate plant is truly incredible."
Star Lord Wan Xiang who was beside him continued to unleash starlight attacks while transmitting helplessly when he heard Shi Lei's words: "Lord Immortal Monkey King, the enemy is very powerful, stop playing with it and use your earth path main battle strength."
Shi Lei was not an ignorant person, he did not hesitate as he said: "Alright, I have already used my transformation path battle strength to kill an astral wind flying heavenly boar, I am satisfied. Next, I will use my true earth path cultivation and destroy this energetic walking meat tree."
Star Lord Wan Xiang was overjoyed when he heard this, Immortal Monkey King Shi Lei was finally going to use his true strength.
But at the next moment, Shi Lei sat down on a rock in the hall, healing himself: "Star Lord Wan Xiang, hold on for now, when I remove the fire path dao marks on my body, I will use my earth path methods."
Star Lord Wan Xiang heard this and almost scolded him in anger.
But he did not do so, Shi Lei's request was reasonable, with fire path dao marks on him, it would interfere with and weaken the effects of his earth path Gu worms.
Star Lord Wan Xiang could only hold in his anger and agree, flying forward and facing off against the walking meat tree.
Although Star Lord Wan Xiang was heavily injured by Song Zi Xing and his foundation was damaged, he still had ingenious methods left.
Beams of starlight shot out like grand pillars, towards the walking meat tree.
The walking meat tree moved three branches to retaliate.
Star Lord Wan Xiang's body suddenly shuddered, as five starlight clones split from his main body and together, they took up six positions, unleashing different star path killer moves and attacking the walking meat tree.
The walking meat tree was hit several times, it flew into a rage and moved more than ten branches to fight back.
Crack crack crack.
Star Lord Wan Xiang's starlight clones were all smashed, Star Lord Wan Xiang evaded the branches coming from left and right, he quickly got into a disadvantage.
Facing off against the walking meat tree directly, he finally felt immense pressure.
Bang!
With a loud noise, Star Lord Wan Xiang could not defend himself and was sent flying. Along the way, he crashed through a thick pillar, but his momentum was not lost, as he directly flew out of the star hall.
Seeing that Star Lord Wan Xiang was gone, the walking meat tree moved its branches and assaulted Shi Lei who was sitting down.
"Useless!" Shi Lei opened his eyes, the battle intent in his golden pupils were surging, he shouted in anger as he stood up, attacking the walking meat tree.
Star Lord Wan Xiang flew a long way out of the star hall before stabilizing his body.
He wiped the blood on his lips, looking at the eighth star hall, he showed a cold smile as his scheme worked.
He sent himself flying on purpose, this way, he could force Shi Lei to fight.
"I exposed the secret of this Starry Sky grotto-heaven to you, regardless of the consequences, yet you do not even want to fight? Guh." Suddenly, Star Lord Wan Xiang spit out a mouthful of blood.
An intense pain assaulted him.
He sucked in a breath of cold air, shock shining in his eyes: "When this walking meat tree hits me, it directly etches the dao marks of strength path into my body, causing my internal organs to suffer a huge blow!"
After realizing this, Star Lord Wan Xiang did not want to rush up foolishly to fight the walking meat tree.
"I'll let Shi Lei fight, he is a battle maniac anyway. Under the pressure of the walking meat tree, he would need to use his full strength. I have already paid such a huge price, I should heal the injuries on my body first."
Immediately after, Star Lord Wan Xiang summoned his Gu worms, which formed a star cloud bed. He sat on the bed as he floated in the air, healing his injuries.
After a while, he opened his eyes, the injuries on him had healed.
He first took a look at the eighth star hall, before looking down at the huge corpse of the ancient desolate beast, astral wind flying heavenly boar. He then looked at the other areas of the battlefield, seeing the other desolate beast corpses.
He hesitated, although he wanted to take all of the corpses first, considering Shi Lei's feelings, he had to dispel this thought.
"Forget it, I do not need to give Shi Lei an excuse later to make things difficult. In any case, there is no one else in this grotto-heaven, I should battle now and deal with the current situation."
Thinking of this, Star Lord Wan Xiang retrieved the star cloud bed Gu and flew away, entering the eighth star hall after traveling a short distance.
In the thick lush forest, Hei Lou Lan and Fang Yuan, who had concealed their auras, sighed in relief.
"Fang Yuan, the Gu worms that you left behind successfully deceived the enemy!" Hei Lou Lan said excitedly.
"My method can only create a hologram, it cannot deceive a proper investigation. Quick, let's not talk about this anymore, we should make this part of our earnings first!" Fang Yuan did not want to indulge in self praise, he moved ahead and sneaked towards the corpse of the astral wind flying heavenly boar.
The two quickly got to the side of the astral wind flying heavenly boar corpse.
The astral wind flying heavenly boar corpse was tall like a small hill, it cast a huge shadow on the ground.
Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan purposely detoured, hiding under the shadow, waiting for the appropriate moment to strike.
They first inspected the wild Gu on the astral wind flying heavenly boar's body.
There were many wild Gu originally, but after the battle with Shi Lei, more than half were destroyed. After the flying boar died, much of the remaining half escaped, very few were left.
After Fang Yuan completed his search, he started to collect the astral wind flying heavenly boar's soul.
The desolate beast corpses they encountered earlier had no souls. Maybe because they had died for a long time, their souls had flown away from their bodies, but the more likely reason was that Shi Lei or Star Lord Wan Xiang had taken them.
This astral wind flying heavenly boar had not been looted yet because the battle had just ended, thus Fang Yuan had a chance.
But the result was very disappointing.
This astral wind flying heavenly boar's soul was heavily injured, only a little bit was left. Evidently, during the earlier battle, it was attacked by methods directed at the soul.
"No wonder the star path Gu Immortal earlier did not fly here to collect the soul of this boar." Fang Yuan sighed, he willed and mobilized several hundred Gu worms.
These Gu were from light path and dark path, while a small number were from strength path, blood path, bone path, and qi path.
Under Fang Yuan's control, these Gu worms flew around the surface of the astral wind flying heavenly boar's body, going round and round as Fang Yuan nodded to Hei Lou Lan.
Hei Lou Lan was prepared since long ago, once Fang Yuan gave the signal, she used the tens of Gu worms prepared earlier.
Using these Gu worms, the astral wind flying heavenly boar corpse was quickly pushed into Hei Lou Lan's immortal aperture in a short time.
Meanwhile, Fang Yuan activated the several hundred Gu worms, remaining at the same spot as they continued to fly in the same manner as earlier.
They gave out bursts of light and shadow, forming into one figure, it was the image of the astral wind flying heavenly boar, it was very realistic! Simply looking at it, one would think this was really the astral wind flying heavenly boar in front of them.
"Your method is really good." Hei Lou Lan praised again.
Earlier, Star Lord Wan Xiang felt nothing wrong, he was deceived by this method.
Fang Yuan shook his head: "This simple method cannot deceive proper investigation. If I can elevate it to a killer move, the effect would be better."
"Oh no." Hei Lou Lan suddenly froze, she pointed at one area and noted to Fang Yuan: "You have a flaw here!"
Fang Yuan looked over and indeed, on the image of the astral wind flying heavenly boar, the anus was missing.
How could the flying heavenly boar not have an anus?
This was indeed a huge flaw.
Fang Yuan quickly manipulated his Gu worms, adjusting the image and forming the anus.
But Hei Lou Lan said: "Not good, not good, now that the anus is here, the penis is gone."
Fang Yuan looked and was embarrassed: "The astral wind flying heavenly boar is too high level of an existence and has a gigantic body, my methods cannot replicate it fully, this is the limit. To create something, it will have to lose something."
Hei Lou Lan nodded, her tone was grand and fearless: "Then stop changing it, keep the penis and discard the anus, that is more realistic."
Fang Yuan followed what she said and changed the image back.
"Hey, Fang Yuan, aren't you proficient in researching killer moves? When we go back, you should raise this to the level of a killer move, that would make it easier to use." Hei Lou Lan said in amusement.
"Do you think we will still encounter such good things later? This method is sufficient, we do not need to make it a killer move." Fang Yuan shook his head, before raising it and looking at the sky.
The roof of the star hall only had a small hole earlier, but now holes were all around the star hall.
All of the explosion sounds were even louder than before.
As he was looking, a broken tree flew out of the star hall.
With a loud bang, the giant tree's branches crashed onto the ground, causing the ground below Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan's feet to tremble violently.
Next, the other half of the giant tree, the crown, also collapsed.
"This is a walking meat tree!" Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan opened their eyes which were shining brightly

Chapter 722: Zombie Dragon
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Walking meat tree was a legendary plant that was recorded in The Legends of Ren Zu.
The Legends of Ren Zu Chapter Three, Section Sixteen states:
Ren Zu's third son — Northern Dark Ice Soul was revived by unexpected Gu and was wandering outside. After encountering his sister, Desolate Ancient Moon, he gave her a new meaning in life.
Next, under the guidance of wisdom Gu, the brother and sister came to the blue sea to search for the life gem that could revive their father, Ren Zu.
In the end, Desolate Ancient Moon sensed the mysteries behind life and sacrificed herself, being turned into a damaged life gem.
Northern Dark Ice Soul carried the life gem as he attempted to return to his father, to revive Ren Zu.
But it was extremely difficult for him to enter the door of life and death.
The door of life and death had two routes, one was the road of life, the other was the road of death. No matter which path it was, there would be a lot of suffering Gu.
To overcome the interference of the suffering Gu, to enter deep into the door of life and death, he would need the help of courage Gu.
But because courage Gu had already been taken by Ren Zu and was currently with him, Northern Dark Ice Soul did not have courage and could not enter the door of life and death. He had no methods left and could only wander around and search for a method to resolve this.
He walked past tall mountains, travelled through streams, ran for his life under the assault of wild beasts, and had gone hungry during the intense cold, he had suffered a lot.
Northern Dark Ice Soul was filled with guilt and anxiety.
He was guilty because he was the one who gave Desolate Ancient Moon her meaning in life, but that caused her to sacrifice herself and become the life gem. Northern Dark Ice Soul was the murderer who indirectly caused his sister's death.
He was anxious because even though he had the life gem, he was unable to return to his father's side. He was afraid that if a long time passed, his father's soul might collapse in Luo Po valley, causing Desolate Ancient Moon's sacrifice to be in vain.
He walked and walked, until the purple sky above him faded and became black.
Originally, the immemorial nine heavens, white, red, orange, yellow, green, azure, blue, purple, black, would take turns to loom over the five regions at set intervals.
The sky of the Immemorial Antiquity Era was connected to the ground.
Heaven and earth were connected and whole, people could walk towards the sky from the ground, or walk towards the ground from the sky.
Northern Dark Ice Soul was walking aimlessly, unknowingly, he left the ground and walked towards an area deep within black heaven.
It was complete darkness inside black heaven, but it was not desolate, there were large numbers of life forms there.
Northern Dark Ice Soul was inside the darkness and could not find a way back, he was flustered, scared, and lost.
He could not tell what direction to walk, he tripped many times and fell. Suddenly, he saw a lump of fire ahead of him.
This was the only source of light in the entirety of black heaven.
Northern Dark Ice Soul was overjoyed, he quickly walked towards the fire.
When he got close to the lump of fire, he realized it was a Gu.
Northern Dark Ice Soul was very curious, he asked: "What Gu are you, you can actually give out light in black heaven. Help me, I want to leave black heaven, heading back to the ground, I have very important things to do."
The Gu's voice was very weak, it said to Northern Dark Ice Soul: "My name is fire, who are you?"
Northern Dark Ice Soul said: "I am a human, my name is Northern Dark Ice Soul. Can you help me? With your light, I will be able to see the way, and return to the ground."
The Gu sighed: "So you are a human. I've heard of a famous human before, he is called Verdant Great Sun."
Because Verdant Great Sun had reputation Gu, his name was spread in the entire world, there was almost nobody that did not know him.
Northern Dark Ice Soul was overjoyed: "That's right, Verdant Great Sun is my big brother."
Fire Gu said: "I can help you. But before I help you, you have to help me. I am too hungry, I am going to die of starvation. Go find me some food first."
Northern Dark Ice Soul asked: "Oh, fire Gu, what do you eat? This place is completely dark, how can I find what you need to eat?"
Fire Gu said: "I am the least picky Gu worm in the entire world, I can eat almost anything. I will eat whatever you feed me."
Northern Dark Ice Soul searched around, finding some tree branches and throwing them towards fire Gu.
After fire Gu ate, it started to shine more brightly, it was giving off a warmer light and it also grew from the size of a fist to around the size of a basin.
It was very happy: "Can you bring me more food?"
Northern Dark Ice Soul nodded and looked around, finding a pile of rocks and throwing them at fire Gu.
After eating for some time, fire Gu sighed: "Sigh, I was way too hungry, my teeth are not working well now. The things I could chew before, I can't chew them now. Bring me some stuff that are easy to digest."
Northern Dark Ice Soul thought about it: "How about this, fire Gu, follow me and light the way. Along the way, whatever you feel like eating, I will feed to you, is that alright?"
Fire Gu agreed and condensed into a small lump, letting Northern Dark Ice Soul hold it.
Like this, Northern Dark Ice Soul left on his return journey, along the way, he fed many things to fire Gu.
After a while, fire Gu grew larger.
On this day, Northern Dark Ice Soul was resting, fire Gu was eating branches in front of him while swaying with the wind.
Suddenly, countless footsteps could be heard, Northern Dark Ice Soul looked and saw a huge group of trees shining under the light of the fire, they were running towards him in huge numbers.
Not just trees, there were also countless wild beasts and insect groups.
Northern Dark Ice Soul was extremely scared, he quickly picked up fire Gu and ran.
Behind him, the trees, wild beasts, and insect groups were chasing. Wherever Northern Dark Ice Soul went, they followed.
The pursuers shouted: "Whoever is in front, stop running."
"We do not want to harm you, we just want to escape into the light."
"Dream realms are about to reach us, please help us and let us live under the light of the fire."
Northern Dark Ice Soul was breathing roughly, he could not run any further, seeing that he was about to be caught, fire Gu said: "Oh human, don't be afraid, these pursuers are my food, let me help you. Just toss me there."
Northern Dark Ice Soul was forced by the circumstances, he could only listen to fire Gu and toss it towards them.
What fire Gu first encountered were a huge group of trees.
These trees were walking meat trees. The branches were made of meat, they resembled the tentacles of octopuses.
Fire Gu burned all of these trees, turning the trunks into ashes, and branches into cooked meat. The smell of fragrant meat attracted Northern Dark Ice Soul and he picked up one to eat, exclaiming that it was delicious.
Hei Lou Lan stared with eyes wide open, looking at the broken tree trunk as well the tentacle-like branches, speaking in disbelief: "This is a walking meat tree?"
"Absolutely." Fang Yuan nodded, his gaze was heated as well: "Right now, only black heaven and white heaven are left from the immemorial nine heavens, walking meat tree is a life form from black heaven, it is much easier to obtain than other immemorial life forms in the other heavens, after all, black heaven is still around. Seven Star Child is a rank eight Gu Immortal, he has the ability to explore black heaven, this walking meat tree was most likely something he obtained from his explorations."
"This walking meat tree has an amazing aura, it has rank seven battle strength at least! Even more amazingly, it is a rare strength path plant." Hei Lou Lan licked her lips, saying excitedly.
Fang Yuan was also overjoyed.
Walking meat tree was a strength path plant, the branches, trunks and leaves were all excellent materials to refine strength path Gu worms. Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan were strength path Gu Immortals, they had great use for it.
But when the two were going to sneak over and take the walking meat tree, there was a huge, thunderous explosion in the sky.
This was an unprecedentedly large explosion, it shook the sky as a formless sound wave spread out intensely.
The eighth star hall shook harshly, it also broke apart as large amounts of starlight dispersed, it was in a half ruined state.
Roar—!
The roar of a dragon could be heard, not any softer than the explosion earlier.
Next, Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan saw Shi Lei and Star Lord Wan Xiang fly out of the star hall.
A huge dragon flew out of the star hall.
This dragon was hundreds of meters long, it was eerie and ominous, the dragon horn on its head was like silver, the dragon's eyes were half open, and the scales were like grey rocks. There were eight dragon claws that were fearsome and powerful, pale white zombie energy was coiling around its body like a mist.
"Is this… a zombie dragon?" Hei Lou Lan exposed the identity of this dragon.
Zombie dragon was not an immemorial life form.
After fate Gu was broken by Red Lotus Demon Venerable, souls in the world were no longer sucked directly into the door of life and death, thus zombies were born.
A zombie dragon was formed after a giant dragon died, if its soul did not leave the body, it would undergo a transformation and become a zombie dragon.
"This zombie dragon has eight claws, it should have been an immemorial desolate beast when it was alive, having rank eight battle strength. Now that it is dead, becoming a zombie dragon, it has battle strength at the peak of rank seven, no wonder Shi Lei was forced out of the star hall." Fang Yuan analyzed.
In the air, the zombie dragon was growling as its body twisted, flying towards Shi Lei.
The dragon opened its mouth and shot out a stream of pale white zombie fire.
Dragon fire was a primary form of attack of the giant dragon, that was a natural ability for them, like the horns of a bull, the paws of a bear, or the stinger of a bee.
Wariness shone in Shi Lei's eyes, he did not dare to receive the attack head on. He continued to fly to the left, after dodging the zombie fire, a huge dragon tail entered his vision.
Shi Lei opened his eyes wide as he placed both arms in front of him, defending his chest.
He could not dodge it!
In Fang Yuan, Star Lord Wan Xiang and Hei Lou Lan's vision, they saw that the zombie dragon had elegantly moved in the air, turning its huge body and swinging its tail, directly crashing it into Shi Lei who had dodged the zombie fire.
With a loud bang, Shi Lei was sent fly harshly like a cannonball.
He crashed onto a point partway up a mountain, entering deep into the mountain rocks. The entire mountain was shaking as rocks fell from above, they quickly covered him up completely.
Star Lord Wan Xiang sucked in a breath of cold air, he retreated hurriedly. The zombie dragon was so powerful, this was the first time he had seen Immortal Monkey King Shi Lei in such a pathetic state.
But soon, he heard Shi Lei shouting under the pile of rocks: "Worm, you have truly angered me, have a taste of my immortal killer move. Shocking rock break!"
The sky burst open as a small hill was aimed towards the zombie dragon.
Hei Lou Lan's eyelids were twitching: "This immortal killer move's activation is so fast?"
Normally, the stronger the immortal killer move, the more time is needed to activate it. But Shi Lei's shocking rock break defied common logic, not only was it strong, it could be used very quickly.
Even the zombie dragon could not dodge it.
But the zombie dragon did not want to dodge it, seeing the small hill that was approaching it, a hint of disdain flashed across the dragon's eyes.
With a loud bang, the zombie dragon raised its head and rammed into the small hill.
Shi Lei's immortal killer move had no effect.
"Good, such an opponent is what I like!" Shi Lei was shocked and excited, he shot up into the sky and crashed into the zombie dragon.
The human and dragon engaged in the sky, winds were blowing and clouds were in turbulence, heaven and earth were changing colors.
Fang Yuan's pupils shrunk: "This zombie dragon is not simple, it seems that defensive immortal Gu worms had been used on its body before."
"Then what do we do now?" Hei Lou Lan was very troubled: "Under their watchful eyes, there is no way we can get the walking meat tree."

Chapter 723: Shocking Appearance of Star Constellation Immortal Venerable
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the sky, the human and dragon were engaging in battle, with loud explosions, the battle was entering its climax.
Star Lord Wan Xiang was at the side, he could not interfere at all.
Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan were hiding in the forest on the ground, they were observing the fighting and awaiting their chance.
The huge dragon roared, zombie energy was bursting from it as the famous expert of Central Continent, Shi Lei, was in a disadvantage.
"This zombie dragon is incredible, when it was alive, it was a wind path azure dragon, after becoming a zombie dragon, not only does it have wind path and dark path dao marks, its speed is even amplified by Immortal Gu." After observing the battle, Hei Lou Lan gradually understood the situation.
"Starry Sky grotto-heaven's owner, Seven Star Child, originally had a wind path Immortal Gu, called wind sprint Immortal Gu. But using this Gu required immortal essence. According to rumors, Seven Star Child had once developed a killer move that could apply the effects of the Immortal Gu on another target for a long period of time. Looking at this now, it seems the rumors were right." Fang Yuan added.
The zombie dragon's defense and movement were boosted by Immortal Gu, it was experienced in battle and its giant dragon body could strike with huge force. Manipulating its tail while flying, it gave off an unrestrained aura.
Most importantly, the zombie energy dragon flames were very powerful, they were on par with the highest tier of mortal killer moves.
Shi Lei continued to shout as he used near ten different battle tactics, but he could not change the situation. Often, when he took back some of the initiative, the zombie dragon would suppress him again.
The zombie dragon had no weakness in attack, defense, or movement, it had an all-around advantage.
Hei Lou Lan's expression turned heavy as she watched, she said solemnly: "Shi Lei's battle strength far surpasses my estimation! If it had been me, facing the attacks of the zombie dragon, I would only last for a moment before getting killed by it. If it was you, Fang Yuan, unless you could use myriad self, you would only hold on for a while longer than me, there is no way of winning."
Fang Yuan did not rebuke her, Hei Lou Lan's assessment was very reasonable.
Although she was a strength path extreme immortal, because of her life experiences, she was not arrogant at all, she was humble and vigilant, she understood her own strength clearly.
The reason why Fang Yuan could last longer than her was because of his flying attainment, as well the movement killer move true solid bat wings.
But even if Fang Yuan's speed surpassed Hei Lou Lan, without the killer move myriad self, he could not pose a threat to the zombie dragon. He could only run away, as icy drill stardust could not cause damage to the zombie dragon, he had no way to win.
Although Hei Lou Lan had strength path Immortal Gu, and half an offensive immortal killer move, her offense surpassed Fang Yuan but her movement speed and defense were her weaknesses. Although she could cause damage to the zombie dragon, it would not take a beating without fighting back, once they fought, Hei Lou Lan would not last as long as Fang Yuan.
Those who were called experts not only had battle strength, they also needed great insight.
Looking at information and knowing if they could do it or not, whether they could win or not. That was the ability to assess a situation and know one's own limits.
Without these abilities, even if one had great strength, they would not go far.
Knowing whom they could offend, know whom they could not afford to offend, knowing when to battle or retreat… retreating was not cowardly, it was treasuring one's own life, awaiting the time where they could soar towards success!
"In this situation, we have no way of succeeding. We should leave the walking meat tree there, I suggest we retreat." Fang Yuan said.
Hei Lou Lan nodded: "That was my intention as well, nobody can predict any accidents in battle. Even if we stay here and take a risk of getting discovered, we cannot do anything anyway, we should withdraw towards a safer location."
The two came to an agreement and retreated stealthily.
Their advantage was that they were in the dark while their enemies were out in the open, they could afford to watch on the sidelines. Right now, the enemies were stronger than them, they had to hold onto this advantage.
After they retreated to a safe distance, Hei Lou Lan suddenly said: "Actually, I have a question — how did they get in?"
Fang Yuan's gaze shone: "I was thinking about this question too. The area near the star hall that we came in from did not have any investigative Gu worms around, that is not the usual behavior of Gu Immortals."
"In this case, we can deduce that they did not come from a star hall. This area is the place where they first arrived in. To enter someone else's blessed land or grotto-heaven, the most usual method is to follow cracks and loopholes, or Gu worms like connecting heaven Gu and hole earth Gu." Hei Lou Lan continued.
"It is unlikely for them to use hole earth Gu or connecting heaven Gu, after all, both sides need to agree for that to work. This Starry Sky grotto-heaven is quite strange, the heavenly spirit has not shown up yet, after being here for so long, we have not faced any obstacles as well. And if Shi Lei's group was able to gain access normally, they would not be fighting so intensely." Fang Yuan said.
"Thus, it is most likely that they used a loophole or crack." Hei Lou Lan laughed.
A dark light shined in Fang Yuan's eyes, he spoke what Hei Lou Lan was thinking but did not say out loud: "They are not like us who have Fixed Immortal Travel, so be it if they have other space path Gu worms. But if they really came in from a loophole, we can use this to ambush them or plot against them, we might have a huge profit from it!"
If Star Lord Wan Xiang and Shi Lei heard this, they would definitely be breaking out in cold sweat.
Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan were demons full of evil ideas, most importantly, they could keenly analyze and would not give up on any minute clues, they even managed to guess Shi Lei's and Star Lord Wan Xiang's method of entering the grotto-heaven.
But just as Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan were about to search for the loophole, the battle in the sky changed.
Shi Lei had been fighting for a long time, suppressed by the zombie dragon the whole time, he was growling in anger.
He quickly moved back as he pulled some distance, his body started shaking.
Immortal battlefield killer move — Rolling Rock Battlefield!
The sky was changing, turning into a grey rock battlefield. The battlefield rapidly expanded, covering the zombie dragon and Shi Lei.
From outside, it looked like a huge grey rock cloud was hanging in the sky, it completely blocked any vision from outside.
Hei Lou Lan's and Fang Yuan's hearts shuddered.
Hei Lou Lan thought: "An amazing method, it actually is an immortal level battlefield killer move, to form such a killer move, he needs to use at least three Immortal Gu, and these Immortal Gu need to be connected in some way."
Fang Yuan was thinking: "Rolling rock battlefield! In my previous life, Vicious Lightning Fiend lost to this move. To think that Shi Lei has already obtained this method at this time."
At the same time, Star Lord Wan Xiang was thinking: "Shi Lei is going to fight the zombie dragon to the end! What should I do? There are no longer any ancient desolate beast guards inside the eighth star hall, the battlefield killer move also isolates the inside and outside of the domain… I, should I explore the eighth star hall first?"
The more Star Lord Wan Xiang thought about it, the more he was moved.
After a dozen breaths of time, he could not control it anymore, he turned into a shooting star and flew into the eighth star hall.
"Huh?"
"Eh?"
Seeing Star Lord Wan Xiang move so swiftly, Hei Lou Lan and Fang Yuan stopped their current plans.
The two were familiar with people's thought processes, they had keen perception, they immediately guessed the possibility that the star hall's defenses were no longer a threat!
"Let's bet on it."
"Do you dare to bet on it and charge in?"
Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan transmitted at the same time, they flew up and towards the eighth star hall.
The two came to the eighth star hall and found the ravaged battlefield. There were three defenses in the eighth star hall, the first was the astral wind flying heavenly boar, the second was the walking meat tree, and the third was the zombie dragon.
After the three defenses were gone, one could enter the deepest area of the star hall.
The two used their defensive killer moves at the same time, moving together deep into the star hall.
Soon, they found the inner hall.
The inner hall's doors were opened, as Star Lord Wan Xiang was already inside.
Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan did not dare to waste their precious time, they hid their figures and stepped into the inner hall.
At the next moment, they saw Star Lord Wan Xiang.
Star Lord Wan Xiang was in a strange condition, his back was facing Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan as he stood on the spot, shivering as if he was filled with extreme fright.
"Immortal Venerable, please spare me!!" Suddenly, he shouted with a tone filled with fear, he directly knelt on the ground, he was begging for mercy!
Before him was deep darkness.
The lights in the inner hall were not lit, there was no light source, Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan could only see the figure of a huge throne.
"Immortal Venerable?!" Hei Lou Lan and Fang Yuan looked at each other.
"Hmph, acting mysterious." Soon after, Fang Yuan snorted coldly as he walked forward.
Hei Lou Lan followed behind.
At the next moment, their pupils shrunk to pin size as their bodies froze like a rock.
A woman's figure appeared before them.
She was wearing a dark blue robe, her hair was dazzling like the milky way, drooping down. She looked down from above as she pointed at Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan: "You two juniors are simply too daring, you dare to offend Star Constellation Immortal Venerable, quickly kneel down!"
The aura of rank nine was overwhelming, she was the real deal!
Central Continent, Spirit Affinity House, Bai Qing blessed land.
The sunlight pierced the window as it shone on a small building on a mountain.
In the small building, there was a warm and comfortable bed, on it was a woman sitting in a meditating position.
This woman had inborn beauty like that of a flower, she had white skin and a straightly pointed nose with red lips, she wore a phoenix coronet as she appeared elegant and grand, incapable of being profaned. She was Feng Jin Huang.
Because of dream wings Immortal Gu, she had gotten into a strange state where she had not woken up for a very long time, all of the Gu Immortals in Spirit Affinity House could do nothing to help her.
A small sparrow was chirping as it flew onto the window from a tree branch outside.
As if she had heard this, Feng Jin Huang's eyelashes suddenly moved.
Soon after, she opened her eyes, she had woken up.
"Huang Er, my Huang Er, you have finally woken up!!" Almost at the same time, Feng Jin Huang's mother, Fairy Bai Qing, appeared in the building. Looking at Feng Jin Huang who had woken up, she was overjoyed and in tears, she hugged Feng Jin Huang tightly.
"Mother, Huang Er was unfilial, I have worried you." Feng Jin Huang hugged Bai Qing as she consoled her maturely.
"All is fine as long as you are alright, Huang Er, are you injured, do you feel anything wrong?" Fairy Bai Qing was worried, she touched Feng Jin Huang's face and shoulders, checking everywhere.
"It is not a problem mother! This time, I have found the true use of dream wings Immortal Gu. It can bring me into dream realms!" Feng Jin Huang said.
"Dream realms?" Fairy Bai Qing was shocked.
At the next moment, she reacted, her pupils expanded as she showed some uncertain joy, she grabbed Feng Jin Huang's shoulders: "Daughter, are you sure? It really is about dream realms?!"

Chapter 724: Pitiful Dreamer, Precarious Situation in Dream
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"That's right." Feng Jin Huang nodded with certainty: "Using dream wings Immortal Gu, I traveled in a dream realm, I encountered many life forms. I met many people, there were Gu Masters and ordinary people. I saw many wild beasts, tigers, wolves, rabbits, rats, I even found a desolate beast iron crown eagle, I watched it grow up from birth. In the end, I came across an old man, he had a strange temperament, constantly muttering to himself, saying that he is called Kong Jue, he often killed people and dissected their corpses, it was terrifying. He even tried to block my way, I could only dodge left and right and had to escape for a long time. Otherwise, I would have woken up long ago."
When Feng Jin Huang first spoke, she had an excited and agitated tone, but when she mentioned Kong Jue, her tone became grim and she felt some lingering fear.
Fairy Bai Qing heard this and stared straight at her daughter.
"Mother, what's wrong?"
Only when Feng Jin Huang was starting to get worried and asked did Fairy Bai Qing breathe in deeply, her eyes showing extreme happiness: "Huang Er, your opportunity has come! It seems you truly entered a dream realm!! The Kong Jue that you mentioned is likely to be Old Immortal Kong Jue, in history, he was one of the Three Olds, along with Old Eccentric Tian Nan and Long Hair Ancestor. The so called Three Olds were the three refinement path supreme grandmasters over the long course of history!"
"No wonder I felt that Kong Jue was so familiar when I heard the name." Feng Jin Huang realized at once, but then her beautiful face showed some confusion: "But why did I encounter Old Immortal Kong Jue? Why did he want to capture me? Why is it that after I woke up, I felt that there are a lot of refinement path methods in my mind, my recognition of certain Gu worms became clearer, and when I see a Gu worm, I would think of its refinement recipe, the materials needed, the funds necessary for the refinement and so on?"
"Great fortune! This is your great fortune…" Fairy Bai Qing raised her head and sighed, tears were almost about to fall from her eyes.
"Mother, what is this dream realm, why is it so magical?" Feng Jin Huang asked again.
Fairy Bai Qing let out a breath of cloudy air, she calmed her emotions and said gently: "Regarding dream realms, mother does not know much either, but the earliest record of a dream realm is written in The Legends of Ren Zu."
The Legends of Ren Zu, Chapter Three, Section Sixteen states: Ren Zu's third son, Northern Dark Ice Soul had entered a deep part of black heaven, obtaining fire Gu.
He was chased by many life forms inside black heaven, left without a choice, he tossed fire Gu towards them to protect himself.
Fire Gu lit up many of the walking meat trees, and the fire spread out to ignite many of the wild beasts' bodies.
At once, life forms were crying out as the light of the flames burst out brightly.
"So many delicious things, so many delicious things!" Fire Gu shouted in excitement, it was no longer weak like before, it was tall and imposing, there was even a hint of ruthlessness and madness in its tone.
Northern Dark Ice Soul was shocked: "Fire, oh fire, how did you become so huge?"
"I said, I am the least picky when it comes to food, I can eat almost anything. Fire can draw out more fire, a spark can create a forest fire." Fire Gu shouted proudly as it answered.
Suddenly, the flame rose up like a wall, moving towards Northern Dark Ice Soul.
Northern Dark Ice Soul quickly took a step back.
Fire Gu laughed loudly: "Oh human, do not be scared! You saved me, you are my benefactor, you are my friend. They are afraid of me, but they need me to deal with those dream realms, thus they imprisoned me and starved me. Only you helped me, thus you are my true friend, from now on, if you have any difficulties, you can count on me!"
Northern Dark Ice Soul's heart was eased, he said happily: "That would be great, my friend."
"Friend!" Fire Gu laughed loudly, it turned into a form of a human as it opened its arms, wanting to give Northern Dark Ice Soul a hug.
Northern Dark Ice Soul jumped back in fear: "Oh fire, excessive fervor is the fire of self-immolation, let's keep a distance between us."
Fire Gu had no choice but to stop its actions, it spun around Northern Dark Ice Soul as he said: "Oh human, you are so weak, you are not fun."
Northern Dark Ice Soul was surrounded in flames, he quickly waved his hand: "Don't get too close, don't get too close. It is so hot, way too hot, leave a path open for me to walk out."
Fire Gu had to open a path for Northern Dark Ice Soul to walk out of, after he walked for several hundred steps, he looked back at the blazing sea of fire with a sigh of relief.
But at this time, a wild beast came out from the shadows behind him, swallowing Northern Dark Ice Soul in one mouthful.
"That is a dream realm! There are so many dream realms, they are catching up!" Many life forms shouted as they escaped.
"Quickly release my friend!" Fire Gu shouted in anger, pouncing towards the beast group of dream realms.
The dream realm beast group shrunk when shone by the light of the fire, they rapidly melted like a candle. They growled and scattered all over the place.
Fire Gu continued to eat along the way, it spread towards the dream realm that consumed Northern Dark Ice Soul.
The dream realms were escaping, but fire Gu was chasing behind them.
Among the escaping dream realms, the larger their bodies, the stronger they were, and the faster they ran away, soon, they pulled some distance from fire Gu.
As it turned out, the dream realms used the emotions and desires of their prey to strengthen themselves.
Northern Dark Ice Soul, who was swallowed by a dream realm, had a huge desire to survive, at the same time, his greatest goal was to revive his father.
In addition, he was filled with anxiety and was afraid he would not make it. He was also filled with guilt and regret, because Desolate Ancient Moon died due to him giving her a meaning in life.
One could say that Northern Dark Ice Soul was the best prey for the dream realms.
The dream realm who swallowed him grew rapidly, fire Gu growled loudly in anger, but it was getting closer to the dream realm.
Northern Dark Ice Soul was deep inside the dream realm, he had fallen asleep, in his dream, he saw Desolate Ancient Moon reviving and smiling to him, calling him a good brother and saying she forgave him, and that she knew he did not do it intentionally.
He saw that he was at the door of life and death, successfully saving his father, Ren Zu. Ren Zu praised him: You are indeed my good son, if not for you, father would not have revived.
Northern Dark Ice Soul's face was filled with a blissful smile.
And like that, many days passed.
The sea of fire was still burning intensely, it spread all over black heaven as it finally blocked all of the dream realms which were escaping.
Under the burning of the flames, the dream realm quickly melted as Northern Dark Ice Soul fell onto the ground, waking up from his dream.
He suddenly understood that everything in his dream was fake, his happiness was not real, what he faced was a burning hot fire Gu. But his face was filled with tears, he felt an extreme cold that was piercing into his bones.
He cried out loud, questioning fire Gu: "Why, why did you wake me up? I still want to dream, I want to be eaten by the dream realm!"
Fire Gu reminded him helplessly: "Oh human, you must know, dreams are often the opposite of reality, they are fake."
"I don't want to listen, I don't care." Northern Dark Ice Soul cried out as he covered his ears and shook his head.
Fire Gu was anxious: "I am your friend, I do not want…"
Northern Dark Ice Soul interrupted it before it finished: "Since you are my friend, you should not restrict me or obstruct me!"
"Sigh…" Fire Gu let out a long sigh, it fell into silence, giving Northern Dark Ice Soul a path leading out without a better choice.
Northern Dark Ice Soul quickly ran out, wanting to find another dream realm within the darkness to have him eaten once again.
Central Continent, Starry Sky grotto-heaven.
"Star Constellation Immortal Venerable!!!" Facing this person, Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan were tongue-tied, they were shocked and dazed.
Star Constellation Immortal Venerable, one of the ten venerables in the history of Gu Masters.
Legends regarding her had been passed down even until this day.
She was a rarely seen female rank nine Gu Immortal, the founder of wisdom path, and the creator of star path. She was the second generation reigning immortal of Heavenly Court, even after death she plotted against three Demon Venerables, protecting Heavenly Court from danger.
Now that she was standing in front of Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan, she looked down arrogantly as her grand aura of rank nine burst out towards them.
"What is going on? Star Constellation Immortal Venerable? She is still alive?!" Hei Lou Lan gritted her teeth, feeling an immense pressure. Even if she had great confidence, and was a formidable person plotting to kill her own father, at this moment her body was shaking as she faced an intense trial of her will.
After all, the other party was at the peak of Gu Masters, a rank nine Gu Immortal, the legendary Star Constellation Immortal Venerable that she had heard about since a young age.
Hei Lou Lan could not help but feel her legs go soft, while Star Lord Wan Xiang in front of her was already kneeling on the ground, kowtowing as he begged for mercy.
The aura of rank nine was undeniable. But Fang Yuan gritted his teeth, his eyes shining with ruthlessness: "This feeling? This feeling! This is actually… this is actually a piece of a dream realm?!"
He could only growl in his mind, he could not produce any sound.
He could not move at all, under the pressure of the rank nine aura, he felt like an ant that was sealed inside amber.
Under the intense threat of life and death, Fang Yuan felt a strong sense of danger in his heart.
"I have to get out of this dream realm, otherwise, all of my plans after rebirth would come to a halt. My plan for eternal life would end here! True solid bat wings, detonate now!!"
Fang Yuan gritted his teeth, at the crucial moment, he decided to make a sacrifice.
The bat wings that he had transplanted after much effort detonated under Fang Yuan's resolute decision.
An intense sense of pain assaulted him, turning into a formless energy that protected Fang Yuan's entire body.
Star Constellation Immortal Venerable gasped lightly, looking at Fang Yuan deeply: "An immortal zombie, yet so fascinating."
Just as she said that, under Fang Yuan's perception, the entire scene changed, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable vanished, and the eighth star hall disappeared. What he could see was a blue robed Gu Immortal with his face facing Fang Yuan, looking up at the clear moon in the sky above the clouds.
He muttered: "Heaven has taken pity on me. I, Seven Star Child, have finally combined the seven star spaces into one, forming the unified Starry Sky grotto-heaven. I have passed another huge obstacle in my cultivation journey, I am one step closer to rank nine realm, one step closer! Hahaha, hahaha…"
Seven Star Child seemed to be unable to sense Fang Yuan's existence, he continued to face Fang Yuan as he had no inclination to turn around.
He continued to laugh loudly, his laughter was filled with joy, even Fang Yuan was affected by it and started to feel happy.
Fang Yuan started to feel some joy in him, but his body was turning cold, like he was in an icy domain.
"Oh no! This is a dream within a dream! I had just left the dream of Star Constellation Immortal Venerable, but now I am inside Seven Star Child's dream."
But this time, Fang Yuan had no bat wings left to detonate.

Chapter 725: Seven Star Child Awakens
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Not good! A person's dream realm is filled with their desires and emotions. I am currently experiencing joy after hearing Seven Star Child's laughter, it is a signal that I am starting to be infected by the dream's emotions!" Being inside Seven Star Child's dream realm, Fang Yuan knew the situation was terrible.
He had his previous life's experiences, he knew about the dangers of a dream realm, if one was careless, a grand Gu Immortal could lose himself inside a dream realm, dying in the end.
At this moment, Fang Yuan had not fallen too deeply into it, to leave the dream realm, the most effective way was to stimulate himself with severe pain.
But as an immortal zombie, he had no sense of pain. If not for the fact that he had retained the sense of pain in his true solid bat wings earlier, he would have been stuck in Star Constellation Immortal Venerable's dream realm.
The encounter earlier was extremely precarious. Thankfully, Fang Yuan had his previous life's memories and recognized that it was a dream realm, thus he could leave before he sunk further into it.
Fortunately, he had true solid bat wings, and the pain produced from the self-detonation exceeded the power of Star Constellation Immortal Venerable's dream, thus Fang Yuan was pushed out of the rank nine venerable's dream.
But just when Fang Yuan escaped from the tiger's den, he entered the wolf's cave.
Seven Star Child was a rank eight Gu Immortal, he did not have a prominent reputation but his battle strength would have been exemplary. Be it Fang Yuan during his previous life or Fang Yuan currently, he was not Seven Star Child's match.
Fang Yuan had no more pain that he could inflict, he felt helpless at this moment, like he was quietly awaiting death!
"No, there has to be a way, there is another way…" Fang Yuan lips were dry, he was nervously clenching his fists.
"Huh?"
Sensing his clenched fists, a brilliant light shined in Fang Yuan's red eyes, he was overjoyed: "There is a chance! Although Seven Star Child is rank eight, he is far inferior to Star Constellation Immortal Venerable. In Star Constellation Immortal Venerable's dream, I could not move at all. But in Seven Star Child's dream, I have not lost all of my movement ability yet."
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan raised one arm with much difficulty.
It felt like a huge mountain was pressing on his hand, such a simple act of raising his arm became extremely difficult.
"Rise, rise up!" Fang Yuan's veins were popping, he stared at this arm as he exerted all of his strength.
After fifteen minutes, he finally raised his hand to an appropriate degree.
With much difficulty, he slowly opened his five fingers, conjuring a lump of starlight in his palm.
There were countless icy shards in the starlight, a continuously soft explosion could be heard from them. The blue starlight shined the entire area blue.
Seeing this starlight lump, Fang Yuan had an intense feeling of joy and satisfaction.
"Oh no, I'm starting to feel the same joyful emotions as him, the deeper I am in this dream realm, the more mobility I lose." Fang Yuan reacted, suppressing his emotions.
As he expected, his mobility had fallen greatly, he could raise his arm earlier, but now he could only move his fingers.
His hand spent a lot of effort to create a lump of starlight, this was his final hope.
"Hidden dream realms cannot be attacked using normal methods. But this piece of dream realm is different, it has already surfaced, since it can interfere with outside forces now, it can also be disrupted and destroyed by those outside forces."
Although this piece of dream realm had Star Constellation Immortal Venerable and Seven Star Child's dreams, it had immense value, it was a huge waste to destroy it, but if Fang Yuan did not do this, he would lose his life.
He had no choice but to do this!
Fang Yuan exerted all of his strength, his five fingers trembled as the icy drill stardust flew out of his palm slowly.
Carrying Fang Yuan's hope, the icy drill stardust slowly hit Seven Star Child's back.
"Hahaha, I succeeded, I fused the seven stars into one. Hahahaha… guh!" Seven Star Child's laughter came to a stop, he turned around but his body was shattering rapidly like a mirror.
Fang Yuan could only see his face clearly, his entire body had collapsed.
"A good chance!" Fang Yuan's entire body relaxed, like the formless mountain pressing on his body had been lifted.
Fang Yuan regained his mobility and immediately retreated. If he did not move, when the dream realm recovers, he would not be able to any longer.
But Seven Star Child's dream was much more fragile that what Fang Yuan had expected.
Not only did Seven Star Child's body shatter, the surrounding clouds and the moon in the sky shattered. In the blink of an eye, this dream realm of Seven Star Child vanished completely.
"How could that be? My icy drill stardust is not strong, all it could do was shatter Seven Star Child's image, he should recover very quickly. Wait, this situation… could it be?!"
A flash of inspiration appeared in Fang Yuan's mind, he thought of a possibility.
As if responding to his thoughts, a sharp growl could be heard from within the eighth star hall, the voice creating strong sound waves: "Who? Who disrupted my sleep!"
At the deep, dark spot of the eighth star area, high up on the throne, there were two blue eyes shining brightly.
Soon after, a body of an immortal zombie resembling a mortal person stood up and stepped out, furiously looking around, fixing his gaze on Star Lord Wan Xiang, Hei Lou Lan and Fang Yuan.
At once, Fang Yuan felt extremely alert!
He moved his entire body and retreated quickly, he did not even have time to turn around, he directly charged out of the star hall.
"It turns out that Seven Star Child had not died, but transformed into an immortal zombie! No wonder the heavenly spirit did not appear. Hei Lou Lan, I can only help you to this extent." Fang Yuan gritted his teeth, before leaving, he fired icy drill stardust towards Hei Lou Lan.
"Worms, you court death!" Seven Star Child first went to Star Lord Wan Xiang.
He raised his leg and harshly stepped on Star Lord Wan Xiang's back.
Bam!
With a loud boom, he created a hole in the eighth star hall, Star Lord Wan Xiang's chest was almost entirely smashed. His injured body was like a shooting star, flying down and crashing into the forest.
Seven Star Child immortal zombie took large strides towards Hei Lou Lan.
But Hei Lou Lan was attacked by the icy drill stardust, under the intense feeling of pain and cold, she narrowly woke up from Star Constellation Immortal Venerable's dream realm.
Seven Star Child immortal zombie snickered sinisterly, when he got to around fifty to sixty steps from Hei Lou Lan, he pushed with his left arm.
Hei Lou Lan had yet to react before her entire body moved back subconsciously, at the same time she raised her arms to block.
At the next moment, a huge starlight pillar shot out of Seven Star Child immortal zombie's hand silently.
Immortal killer move — Star Billow Pillar!
The defense Hei Lou Lan created was thoroughly destroyed in the blink of an eye by the starlight pillar.
Luckily, Hei Lou Lan had obtained a crucial moment to rest, she quickly changed her direction.
Star billow pillar was a straight line attack, Hei Lou Lan narrowly escaped death and avoided the range of the pillar, retreating quickly.
Seven Star Child immortal zombie halted for a moment, before twisting his left arm and adjusting the direction of the pillar.
Hei Lou Lan dodged left and right, she narrowly avoided star billow pillar many times. Even if she was hit by the light pillar, it was not for more than three breaths of time.
After dozens of breaths, the huge starlight pillar in Seven Star Child's hand vanished, and Hei Lou Lan successfully escaped from the eighth star hall, rapidly descending towards the forest.
When Hei Lou Lan got to Fang Yuan's side, she could not believe that she actually escaped successfully, keeping her life!
She did not have strong defensive methods, even with the recovery speed of being a strength path extreme immortal, she could not stay in the light pillar for four breaths of time. During the process of her retreat, she was dancing on the edge of death, if there was an accident and she stayed in it for four breaths, she would have died.
Fang Yuan grabbed her arm and ran towards the deeper parts of the forest: "Quickly go! Seven Star Child immortal zombie had been trapped in that dream realm for too long, his condition is abnormal and there are few thoughts in his mind, his cognition is slow and he cannot think normally now."
Hei Lou Lan was dragged by Fang Yuan, they concealed their figures and stealthily moved past trees after trees, running frantically in the forest.
She was still confused even now, she asked rapidly: "Dream realm! The Star Constellation Immortal Venerable that I saw earlier was also part of a dream realm? What is a dream realm?"
Suddenly, Hei Lou Lan's voice came to a stop, seeing the icy drill stardust marks on her body, she shouted in anger: "Fang Yuan! You actually attacked me?"
"Shut up! I was saving you, without this icy drill stardust, would you be able to escape from Star Constellation Immortal Venerable's dream realm? If you could not react in time, you would have been killed by Seven Star Child immortal zombie's immortal killer move already!" Fang Yuan did not turn around, he replied in an displeased tone.
Hei Lou Lan was stunned, but she accepted his explanation.
Fierce and ambitious people were usually easily suspicious, Hei Lou Lan did not believe Fang Yuan, what she believed was the Snowy Mountain Alliance that they had.
The alliance stated that allies were not to harm or attack each other. When one side was in danger, the other party must attempt to save them to the best of their ability.
If Fang Yuan's icy drill stardust was an attack trying to harm Hei Lou Lan, he would have died from the oath already.
Seeing that he was rapidly running, and causing pain to her arm, Hei Lou Lan understood and broke free from Fang Yuan's grasp: "I can move myself!"
Pausing for a while, Hei Lou Lan followed behind Fang Yuan as she asked: "I will remember this favor of saving my life. The compensation that I give you should certainly satisfy you! However, what is that dream realm? As a strength path extreme immortal, I actually sunk into that dream realm with no way of resisting? Dream realm, dream realm… is it that dream realm in The Legends of Ren Zu? Is it connected to Great Dream Immortal Venerable? Also, why are you running so rapidly? We have Fixed Immortal Travel."
"Shut up!" Fang Yuan shouted, running at his full speed.
His true solid bat wings were already gone, his speed was much slower now.
"Worms that invade my territory deserve death!" At this point, Seven Star Child immortal zombie's furious voice could be heard.
Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan ran as they looked up, seeing that Seven Star Child immortal zombie had already flown out of the eighth star hall, his attention was on the rolling rock battlefield that was in the air.
This was unavoidable, after all, the rolling rock battlefield was high in the air, it was massive and was like a huge poisonous tumor attached to the Starry Sky grotto-heaven, it attracted too much hostility.
Seven Star Child immortal zombie thought about it for a while, he stretched out his left arm and burst out with another star billow pillar.
An immortal level star path killer move, it crashed onto the rolling rock battlefield. The rolling rock battlefield shook intensely, but it did not break.
The star billow pillar was certainly an immortal killer move, but rolling rock battlefield was also an immortal killer move. In fact, it was a killer move formed by using three Immortal Gu that were related to each other!

Chapter 726: Retreat
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Seeing that his attack did not destroy this despicable poisonous tumor, Seven Star Child immortal zombie was stunned, he opened his mouth and roared with even more anger, as his right arm pressed towards the rolling rock battlefield.
Following his action, a huge hand made of grand starlight formed and slapped the rolling rock battlefield with great force.
It was another immortal killer move!
After the attack of two immortal killer moves, the rolling rock battlefield cracked opened as a huge opening revealed the scene inside the battlefield, it had not broken apart yet.
Fang Yuan saw this and retracted his gaze, running without rest.
Hei Lou Lan let out a breath of foggy air, her worry was mostly lifted: "Alright, Seven Star Child immortal zombie is fighting Shi Lei now, this is the best situation. Fang Yuan, why are you running?!"
"Saving a person." Fang Yuan's reply was extremely brief and to the point.
Hei Lou Lan was curious: "Save who?"
At this time, Fang Yuan turned around a mountain wall and stepped onto a cliff, he pointed: "Him."
Hei Lou Lan looked and saw that there was a Gu Immortal lying on a cracked rock after a trail of broken trees: "It is that star path Gu Immortal!"
The two came to Star Lord Wan Xiang, and saw that there was a huge hole on his chest. Not only was it completely pierced through, he had lost almost all of his chest, only some flesh by the two sides were holding him together.
Such heavy injuries made even Hei Lou Lan breathe in sharply.
"This is the power of Seven Star Child immortal zombie's stomp." Fang Yuan lowered his body and his eight arms searched Star Lord Wan Xiang's body in turns.
After a while, Fang Yuan sighed in disappointment, thinking: "Although his body's injuries are severe, it can be healed by paying a huge cost. But his soul was sucked into the dream realm, unless Star Constellation Immortal Venerable's dream was broken, this Gu Immortal's soul can only wander inside that dream realm, or transform himself into another dream realm."
Hei Lou Lan was standing at the side, using her investigative Gu to check, she said with some lingering fear: "There is no way to save him, even his soul is entirely missing now, don't tell me it was because of that dream realm? If you did not save me, would I end up in that state as well?"
"What a pity." Fang Yuan muttered, his movements did not stop: "If he was still alive, we could still gain important information from him. In fact, we could use your slavery Immortal Gu to make him become one of us, doing our bidding. We could even plot against Shi Lei, and might have a chance of killing Shi Lei without taking any risks, while also leaving us free from suspicion, obtaining the greatest benefits!"
"Hey, are you listening to my words!" Hei Lou Lan was stomping her feet in anger.
"If you have the time for that, why don't you come and help me seal the immortal aperture in his body." Fang Yuan's words attracted all of Hei Lou Lan's attention.
This was a complete rank six blessed land!
Hei Lou Lan quickly moved ahead and sent out her divine sense, but it could only move around the area outside the immortal aperture, unable to enter.
"He is dead, but he left behind his obsession, the blessed land now has a land spirit." Fang Yuan's eight arms were continuing to move, planting all sorts of Gu worms on Star Lord Wan Xiang's corpse.
Star Lord Wan Xiang's injuries continued to heal.
"I, what can I do to help?" Hei Lou Lan was stunned by the incredible techniques that Fang Yuan was using endlessly right now.
Fang Yuan's brows were tightly locked, he was concentrating: "Sealing the blessed land is a troublesome matter, thankfully the land spirit has just been formed. I did not expect such a situation, I am lacking Gu worms now. You have to observe the battle situation up there, while communicating with treasure yellow heaven to buy these Gu worms. Remember, we cannot have a single one missing!"
Saying so, Fang Yuan transmitted his divine sense.
"I know." Hei Lou Lan obtained a list and her face was serious.
She stood beside Fang Yuan, acting as a guard while using her own immortal aperture to communicate with treasure yellow heaven. Not just that, she even used the moving perspective cup Gu that Fang Yuan lent her to ask for help from Fairy Li Shan.
Boom boom boom…
High in the sky, Seven Star Child immortal zombie continued to attack endlessly, his immortal killer moves were unleashed as if they did not cost any immortal essence at all, he used them one after another.
The rolling rock battlefield could not take the pressure and was finally broken.
The battlefield broke apart, and the zombie dragon fell from the sky helplessly, like a dead snake with lots of injuries.
Shi Lei, who caused its injuries, was not in a good state either, he was covered in wounds, especially the one on his chest, it extended from his shoulder to his waist, the wound was so deep his bones could be seen.
Shi Lei was panting heavily, his face was pale. There was still a trace of grey white zombie fire burning on his body. In order to defeat the zombie dragon, he had paid a huge price and suffered heavy injuries.
But the more injured he was, the greater his fighting intent.
Seeing Seven Star Child immortal zombie, who was stronger than the zombie dragon, this Gu Immortal from Combat Immortal Sect laughed loudly, he did not have any fear, instead, his fighting intent was blazing like a forest fire.
"Intruder, die." Seven Star Child immortal zombie shouted, expressionlessly pointing a finger at Shi Lei.
Immortal killer move — One Star Finger!
At the same time, Shi Lei snickered, flipping his palm.
Immortal killer move — Shocking Rock Break!
The two killer moves were attacking methods that had short activation time but great offensive power. Seven Star Child immortal zombie's fingertip burst out with starlight, in the blink of an eye, it tore through space and pierced Shi Lei's chest.
Meanwhile, a huge mountain rock pressed down on Seven Star Child immortal zombie, with a loud bang, Seven Star Child immortal zombie was sent crashing to the ground, buried under a small hill.
Shi Lei's blood was spewing out in a line, from the front and back of his chest. His body shook in the air for a while, he almost fell but he managed to continue floating.
Shi Lei was stunned, the attack earlier was too fast, if he did not move his body in time, his heart would have been destroyed.
At the area of his wound, there were countless star path dao marks, as they were near his heart, blood was flowing out unceasingly. Ordinary mortal Gu could not help, even mortal healing killer moves could not do anything, but Shi Lei had his own healing Immortal Gu.
After the treatment of the Immortal Gu, Shi Lei's injuries healed rapidly, the blood stopped spewing out, it flowed down his chest like a stream.
Right after he finished treating his injuries, the rock that was suppressing Seven Star Child immortal zombie broke apart, a huge starlight hand pressed hard and broke the rock into pieces, sending the shards flying.
Roar!
Seven Star Child immortal zombie shouted loudly, his body was covered in a multi-colored star cloak.
With a loud bang, he flew up, only leaving behind an illusory figure on the spot. The intense force caused the ground below the immortal zombie to crack, caving in to form a crater.
Shi Lei's pupils shrunk, he was shocked by Seven Star Child's burst of speed.
Shi Lei had just summoned his defensive Immortal Gu when Seven Star Child immortal zombie crashed towards him with a loud bang.
The Immortal Gu's defense was nearly broken, Shi Lei spat out a mouthful of blood with his vision spinning, he was sent flying into the sky from the impact.
"Oh no, this is a movement immortal killer move!" Shi Lei could feel the wind brushing against his ears, he tried hard to open his eyes.
Whoosh!
Hearing something with his ears, Shi Lei turned around with much difficulty, only to see Seven Star Child immortal zombie covered in a robe of starlight, piercing the clouds and appearing before him.
Seven Star Child immortal zombie flew alongside Shi Lei, towards the sky.
At that moment, the immortal zombie opened his left palm, aiming it at Shi Lei's head.
Immortal killer move — Star Billow Pillar!
Boom—!
The huge light pillar pierced the cloud layer from a high altitude, penetrating a mountain peak and causing a large area to collapse and fall apart, resulting in much dust and smoke.
A body descended from the sky like a broken sack.
It was Shi Lei.
He had endured the attack of the star billow pillar for fifteen breaths, but he was still alive and had some battle strength left. His entire head was charred black, his facial features were all blurry, like the melted wax of a candle.
Roar—!
Shi Lei opened his eyes, his golden pupils bursting out with an unprecedented ruthless light.
His heart was filled with rage, he finally used his greatest trump card.
Earth path, transformation path — dual immortal killer move — Rock Mountain Immortal Monkey King Transformation!
Seven Star Child immortal zombie charged over, but was repelled by a burst of golden light. When the giant pillar of golden light vanished, a sixteen meter tall giant monkey appeared.
The monkey had golden fur, like it was clad in golden armor. The muscles on its body were bulging like huge rocks. Its golden pupils were emitting an emotionless dominance, as the reflection of Seven Star Child immortal zombie could be seen in its eyes.
There were a pair of huge hands with red fingernails that were sharp as swords, when his fingers were extended, his hands looked like two fearsome claws.
Opening its mouth, fangs grew, in a moment, fangs were protruding out of its mouth, it was as if a demonic god had descended into the mortal world.
On one end, it was the huge Immortal Monkey King, on the other end there was the awakened immortal zombie clad in a starry cloak, the two were at a standstill, neither of them attacked yet.
Hei Lou Lan watched with her heart shaking, she knew that the moment the two of them attacked, it would be an overwhelming battle, she could not help but urge Fang Yuan: "Quick, the situation is becoming more troublesome."
"Okay, okay. But without Immortal Gu, we can only last for seven minutes. Once the time is up, the immortal aperture will have to land on the ground and take root." Fang Yuan was extremely busy, he felt dizzy as his eight arms stopped moving in that complex manner.
He heaved a deep sigh, looking at the sky, seeing the fearsome Immortal Monkey King, as well as the Seven Star Child immortal zombie who was surrounded by shiny starlight.
Immortal Monkey King moved his golden pupils, using his peripheral vision to look at Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan.
Fang Yuan's concealment method could not deceive Shi Lei in his current state.
Fang Yuan's pupils shrunk: "He found us. Quick, hide the corpse!"
Hei Lou Lan's expression was solemn, she quickly dragged Star Lord Wan Xiang's leg and tossed him into her immortal aperture.
At this time, Seven Star Child immortal zombie howled towards the sky.
His voice pierced heaven and earth, beams of starlight pillars shot down from the sky.
From the pillars, desolate beasts came out, diamond bear, flying sword rat, star desolate hound, golden pangolin…
After Seven Star Child immortal zombie started thinking again, he finally used the advantage of the grotto-heaven, he released the desolate beasts inside the seven spaces and displayed an overpowering position!
Seeing this, Fang Yuan said nothing more, activating Fixed Immortal Travel.
Immortal Monkey King's expression changed.
Hei Lou Lan entered Fang Yuan's immortal aperture, in just a few breaths of time, the two of them vanished.
"Fixed Immortal Travel, immortal zombie… Fang Yuan!" Three phrases appeared in Immortal Monkey King's mind, but Seven Star Child immortal zombie charged over again. Shi Lei was bold but he was not stupid enough to continue fighting.
He flew down, towards the walking meat tree, and placed the two segments of the tree into his immortal aperture.
Boom!
A trace of starlight tore through the sky, piercing Immortal Monkey King's huge body. It was Seven Star Child's immortal killer move, one star finger!
After Shi Lei was hit, his body merely shook slightly, he continued to fly towards the flying heavenly boar corpse.
He had the intention to retreat already, he wanted to get his loot before leaving.
He endured Seven Star Child immortal zombie's attacks as he flew towards the astral wind flying heavenly boar corpse, stretching out his arm to grab it, but he got nothing instead!
"What?!" Shi Lei was shocked, seeing the broken mortal Gu on his arm, he understood at once and flew into a rage, it had to be that Fang Yuan!
Bam!
At the next moment, a star billow pillar hit Immortal Monkey King directly on the back, causing him to fall onto the ground.

Chapter 727: Escape
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Immortal Monkey King was hit directly by the star billow pillar, with a loud thud, he crashed on the ground, with his head facing the floor.
He growled angrily, spitting out the soil in his mouth, getting up quickly.
Shi Lei did not care about the Seven Star Child immortal zombie, he only wanted to get to the star demon bat corpse, towards the location in his memories.
He took huge steps as he ran, uprooting all of the trees in his way. He looked at the star demon bat corpse from afar, joyful to see that it was still intact.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Right at this moment, three golden lights flew over from the sky.
The golden lights were extremely fast and agile, they were three flying sword rat desolate beasts.
Shi Lei snorted coldly, he did not want to engage with them, he raised his arms and covered his face.
Clank clank clank…
The flying sword rats' nails were as sharp as swords, they scratched Immortal Monkey King's huge body, but no blood was seen as the soft golden monkey fur blocked the nails, emitting a loud metallic noise.
Shi Lei's current form had outstanding defense.
The three flying sword rats did not let go of Shi Lei yet, they were small and agile, they followed him and continued to scratch and hack away at his body.
Bunches of monkey fur fell from Shi Lei's body.
Wherever Shi Lei went, monkey fur would scatter on the ground.
"Damn rats!" Shi Lei shouted, whipping his tail and using it like a golden whip.
The flying sword rats were hit by the tail, but after they were sent flying, they returned and continued to disturb him.
Just as he was about to reach the star demon bat corpse, a diamond bear appeared.
"Scram!" Shi Lei was furious, he clenched his fists and swept with his arms, his fists were slamming horizontally as his brute force pushed the heavy diamond bear away.
The diamond bear flew in the air for a short distance, before crashing partway up the mountain. With a loud thud, its body which resembled diamonds had cracks on it, but it stood up like it was uninjured.
Desolate beasts generally had strong vitality, they were durable and sturdy existences.
Shi Lei did not want to tangle with the diamond bear, he only wanted to get back his loot.
He ignored the disturbance of the flying sword rats as he reached the star demon bat corpse and grabbed it with his hand.
The star demon bat corpse shattered, he had been deceived once again.
Shi Lei reacted quickly, shouting in anger: "Damn, what method is this? How can it look so real! Flying bear, right, there is still a flying bear here."
Still having some hope in his heart, the golden fur giant monkey changed directions and continued to run.
Along the way, he was met with obstruction from desolate beasts, but with his brute strength, he forcefully carved out a path.
During this period, Seven Star Child immortal zombie who was in the air attacked non-stop, sending blows towards the golden fur giant monkey, even with the great defense of the Immortal Monkey King form, his skin was torn and flesh was exposed.
Shi Lei finally got close to the flying bear corpse, but he saw that there were five flying bears surrounding the corpse, some made mournful cries while others were licking the blood on the ground.
There was one which used its head to nudge the flying bear corpse, but the image flickered.
Shi Lei saw this and lost all hope, it was completely dashed as rage overwhelmed him: "It seems that all of the desolate beasts that I killed were stolen by that despicable thief Fang Yuan!! All of these are my loot, the fruits of my victory. He dared to steal my possessions, the Immortal Monkey King's, how long has it been since such a thing has happened?"
Shi Lei's huge body attracted the attention of the flying bears.
Grrr!
The five flying bears had bloodshot eyes as they charged towards the golden fur giant monkey.
Shi Lei did not have the mood to fight with them, at this point, he knew there was nothing to gain here, he wanted to escape.
Even though Star Lord Wan Xiang was killed and Shi Lei lost the method to leave Starry Sky grotto-heaven, he knew the location of that grotto-heaven loophole, as long as he can find that place, he could exert force and create a bigger hole, connecting to the outside world of Central Continent.
Shi Lei immediately changed directions, but he realized that while the five flying bears were still charging towards him from the front, on the left, there were three blazing divine stallions getting closer. On the right, there was a huge ghost face tortoise, and behind him were seven star desolate hounds.
In just a short while, he was surrounded by desolate beasts on all sides.
Shi Lei wanted to fly into the sky, but he looked up to see an iron crown eagle, a nine palace crane, and a qi grand lion, these three desolate beasts above him. Other than that, Seven Star Child immortal zombie was also ready to attack.
"Three desolate beasts are nothing much, but this immortal zombie…" The golden fur giant monkey's golden pupils shined with wariness.
He lowered his head, looking around and deciding to break through from the right side.
On his right, there was a ghost face tortoise, it was like the size of three mountains, floating in the sky silently. It was the largest in build and had the most difficulty in turning around. If Seven Star Child immortal zombie continued to attack, he could use the ghost face tortoise's huge body to act as a shield!
Shi Lei made up his mind and took a huge step forward, charging towards the ghost face tortoise.
He had transformed into the golden fur giant monkey, he was more than twice as large as Fang Yuan's eight armed immortal zombie form. But in front of the ghost face tortoise, he was like a pearl in front of a wolf.
The ghost face tortoise growled, as countless soul beasts emerged from the holes on its shell.
The dark blue colored soul beasts formed into an army, huge in numbers, filling the sky and charging towards the golden monkey like a torrential wave.
Shi Lei fought against the flow and moved up, his fists sending all of the soul beasts in his way flying. His golden fur had great defense, although the soul beasts were huge in numbers, they were slaughtered mercilessly.
Shi Lei managed to use this soul beast army to avoid the entrapment of the desolate beasts. Only those three flying sword rats were still near him, causing small wounds from time to time.
"This immortal zombie seems to be unable to think, even though he has strength, his beasts are hindering each other, and cannot display their true power. If it was me, I would've attacked long ago. Who cares about the lives of the soul beasts." Shi Lei had rich battle experience, after evading the ghost face tortoise, he had an idea and purposely slowed down.
Under the encirclement of the soul beast army, he continued to move forward. The other beasts could only stand far away, even Seven Star Child immortal zombie was staring blankly, as if he did not want to harm the soul beast army.
Finally, Shi Lei came to the opening of the loophole of the grotto-heaven.
He let out a breath of turbid air, he was just about to relax before he winced, as blood poured out from his back.
"These three accursed rats!" Shi Lei growled in anger, he turned around and raised his fist, sending the flying sword rats flying.
The flying sword rats earlier could not cause much damage, but when damage accumulated, a small injury would grow into a large one, his back's injury was already filled with metal path dao marks.
The flying sword rats crashed onto the ground, but they quickly flew towards Shi Lei again.
Shi Lei's eyes shone with a ruthless light, he activated an immortal killer move — Filthy Mud Robe.
The three flying sword rats landed on the filthy mud robe and could not free themselves, like they were stuck in a swamp.
Shi Lei used another move, earth's root!
From the thick filthy mud robe, countless spikes shot out, stabbing and piercing the flying sword rats.
The flying sword rats held on for over a dozen breaths of time before their tiny bodies were pierced through by hundreds of spikes, they died at the scene.
At this time, Seven Star Child immortal zombie finally reacted, he mobilized the soul beast army and ordered the desolate beasts to charge forward fearlessly.
"It is too late, fool." Shi Lei breathed in deeply, the sticky filthy mud robe on his body moved rapidly, detaching from his body and covering the grotto-heaven opening.
Shi Lei placed both his palms on the filthy mud robe, pouring a large amount of immortal essence into it.
Immortal killer move — Earth Disintegration!
The filthy mud robe scattered and flowed out, the grotto-heaven crack became a huge hole after this attack. Shi Lei could see another sky out of this huge hole.
He laughed heartily, taking a huge step and forcing his way out.
Because it was a forceful breakthrough and was not as meticulous as Star Lord Wan Xiang's methods, during the process of leaving, a huge invisible force squeezed at Shi Lei's body from all directions.
Thankfully, Shi Lei had become the golden fur giant monkey, his defenses rose by more than ten times. He resisted the pressure and went through the hole, his body was covered in blood, especially the wound caused by the flying sword rats, his flesh was mushy and large amounts of blood was oozing out.
Shi Lei sucked in a breath of cold air from the pain, he shouted in his heart: "Who dares to block my way, I am out of here! That accursed immortal zombie, I will definitely take you down. And for that Fang Yuan, the thief that stole my loot. A mere tiny rank six immortal zombie that doesn't know what is good for him, he dared to offend me! When I return, I will deal with you properly, and let you know the terrible fate for offending me!"
Thoughts flashed in Shi Lei's mind, but at this time, he heard the growls of flying bears near him.
Shi Lei quickly looked around, seeing that five flying bears had gotten extremely close to him from five different directions.
"What is going on?" He raised his head and looked, only to see six huge star shadows in the sky.
"Why am I still here? I had undoubtedly…" Shi Lei was extremely shocked, his mouth was wide open.
Seven Star Child immortal zombie looked at him as he laughed coldly: "Little monkey, did you think that my seven star space is so simple? I do have to thank you, if you did not awaken me, I might still be stuck in that dream realm. As thanks, I will bury your corpse below my most beloved mountain peak."
By now, Seven Star Child had actually regained his senses, he could think normally again!
"This is bad." Shi Lei's heart sank.
Five flying bears raised their paws, attacking the golden fur giant monkey.
"Scram!" Shi Lei was just about to erupt, when starlight flickered around him, his body became heavier and his movement became slower — Seven Star Child immortal zombie had attacked.
This was only a mortal killer move, but its effect was amazing, it was even more effective than the offensive immortal killer move earlier.
At once, bear paws slammed down from all directions.
Shi Lei shielded himself on his left and right, but he was unable to protect himself thoroughly, when he finally got rid of his restraint, he rolled and escaped from the five bears. But at this time, he was already dizzy from the beating, his muscles were swollen, becoming green and purple, although he had no bone fractures, his body was aching intensely.
After Seven Star Child regained his senses, his danger level escalated intensely!
"I have no choice, I will have to seek help from the sect! Hmph, to think that I, the grand Immortal Monkey King, was forced to use seek help Gu at this moment! Where will my reputation go after this? Fang Yuan, this is all your fault, after I am saved, I will make sure you pay!!" Shi Lei shouted in his heart, he was going to puke blood from anger.
Fang Yuan not only stole his loot, causing his trip to be an overall loss, he even took away Star Lord Wan Xiang and trapped Shi Lei in this Starry Sky grotto-heaven.
Woof woof woof!
Two star desolate hounds traveled over, and the ghost face tortoise also floated ahead of him soundlessly.
Immortal Monkey King raised his head, shouting at Seven Star Child immortal zombie: "Fight me for three hundred more rounds if you have the guts!"
Seven Star Child immortal zombie laughed arrogantly: "Sure, come here."
The golden fur giant monkey growled as sharp golden light burst out, forcing Seven Star Child immortal zombie to squint in response.
After the golden light faded, Shi Lei regained his human form, he charged into the forest and sped away rapidly.
The result was — he ran away!
He ran away!
The Immortal Monkey King Shi Lei famous for his bravery and ruthlessness in Central Continent had chosen to escape. If this was known to the outside world, who knows how many of Central Continent's Gu Immortals would gasp in shock.
Seven Star Child immortal zombie was shocked for a while before reacting, responding angrily: "You dare to trick me? I thought you were a heroic champion who would rather battle to the death and would never give up! Escape, go ahead and run, I want to see where you can escape to in this grotto-heaven of mine?!"
Shi Lei did not say a word, he ran even faster.

Chapter 728: Star Form Blessed Land
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"We are here." Fang Yuan looked around him and gave a satisfied nod.
"Where is this?" Hei Lou Lan came out of Fang Yuan's immortal aperture.
The two had used Fixed Immortal Travel to escape Starry Sky grotto-heaven and arrive at this place.
Hei Lou Lan looked around her and guessed this was either an underground cavern or inside a hollow mountain. The light was sparse, causing the place to be dark and gloomy, there were jagged rocks and the moisture in the air was very high, however it was quite spacious.
"This place is Earth Abyss." Fang Yuan lightly replied.
"Earth Abyss?" Hei Lou Lan looked at Fang Yuan with an astonished gaze.
She was not unfamiliar with Central Continent, and knew that this Earth Abyss was located in the far west of Central Continent, and was an incomparably large underground world.
Earth Abyss was divided into tens of layers with every layer being at least hundreds of thousands of square kilometers in size. The space was extremely large and the underground world was deep and secluded. There were all sorts of caves and tunnels, some were like labyrinths, some had giant underground lakes while some had flat ground.
Earth Abyss was home to untold number of living organisms, it was full of vitality, the unique ecology was clearly different from the surface.
"Truly a great place, the earth qi is dense in Earth Abyss and will greatly reduce the time for the blessed land to fall."
Hei Lou Lan nodded then changed the subject: "But the main headquarters of Ancient Soul Sect is in Earth Abyss. Ancient Soul Sect is one of the ten great ancient sects, it is like a colossal beast that has held dominance over the far west for thousands of years. They have occupied Earth Abyss and treat it as their own exclusive domain. If you want the blessed land to fall here, it is like planting flowers in another person's backyard, aren't you afraid of being found?"
Fang Yuan laughed: "Don't worry, the depths of Earth Abyss are extremely secluded, Ancient Soul Sect has spent thousands of years but has only explored no more than eighteen layers fully, with some brief explorations up to the twenty-seventh layer. From the twenty-eight to thirty-sixth layers, only Ancient Soul Sect's Gu Immortals roam about occasionally. As long as we plant the blessed land below the fortieth layer, we do not need to be concerned about being discovered even if we make a large commotion."
"Fortieth layer? I remember the exploration of Earth Abyss done by Ancient Soul Sect only found thirty-six layers?" Hei Lou Lan was astonished.
Fang Yuan snickered: "That is because they are incompetent, the depth of Earth Abyss surpasses people's imaginations. How could it stop at thirty-six layers?"
As he said this, he recalled his previous life.
In his previous life, when Fang Yuan was rank five, endless beast tides emerged from Earth Abyss, attacking the surface and bringing disaster to Central Continent.
Ancient Soul Sect suffered the brunt of their attack, suffering such disastrous losses that their foundation was damaged.
After the beast tides charged out of Earth Abyss, they constantly drove out beast groups on Central Continent's surface and gradually formed into an unprecedented, terrifying beast tide that spread over the whole of Central Continent.
In those years, there was great misery and suffering in Central Continent, countless small sects were destroyed like stones in the path of a flood.
The ten great ancient sects organized groups of experts and rushed everywhere to destroy the beast tide.
They spent several years before they were finally able to eradicate the beast tide from the surface. Afterwards, both righteous and demonic path Gu Masters moved together inside Earth Abyss.
Fang Yuan also entered Earth Abyss together with others and killed wild beasts, obtaining resources for his cultivation.
They purged layers after layers, and entered deeper and deeper. After entering the thirty-sixth layer, Gu Masters discovered a new passage.
Further down was an even larger underground world with territories of countless beast groups, desolate beasts and ancient desolate beasts. It was a land filled with dangers everywhere.
Even when Fang Yuan had self-detonated, the exploration of the Earth Abyss had not finished. They had only discovered there were one hundred and seven layers.
Ancient Soul Sect currently occupied thirty-six layers, which was just the portion that was closest to the surface.
Fang Yuan naturally would not speak of these details to Hei Lou Lan, he only said: "Just follow me."
Hei Lou Lan saw Fang Yuan's confident appearance and followed him deeper into Earth Abyss.
The place they had appeared was the eighth layer. And as they moved down, they saw many of Ancient Soul Sect's Gu Masters. These Gu Masters mostly were in groups, some were hunting wild beasts while some were gathering underground moss.
The deeper they went, the fewer the number of Gu Masters they saw while the cultivations of the Gu Masters increased correspondingly.
From rank two Gu Masters at the start to rank three to rank four.
How could these mortals have the ability to detect Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan's traces? Even if they brushed past some Gu Masters in a narrow path, these mortals would not have been able to sense anything.
When they reached the thirtieth layer, they no longer saw mortal Gu Masters. It was a scene of darkness which greatly restricted vision, but fortunately, Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan were Gu Immortals, they had all sorts of investigative Gu.
At the thirty-fifth layer, one of Ancient Soul Sect's rank six Gu Immortals was being chased miserably by an ancient desolate beast and four desolate beasts.
This Gu Immortal had helped Fang Yuan, he and Hei Lou Lan were able to smoothly pass through the desolate beasts' camps and enter the thirty-sixth layer.
Here, Fang Yuan walked to the key area according to his previous life's memory.
After setting up six Gu formations, Fang Yuan pointed below his feet and said to Hei Lou Lan: "My attack power is not enough, it is better if you activate your Immortal Gu and attack this muddy ground."
Hei Lou Lan followed Fang Yuan's instruction, she transformed into a strength path phantom giant and punched heavily at the muddy ground three times.
Mud and stones spattered, but could not splash out of the Gu formations. Thunderous sounds echoed, but outside the Gu formations, it was a scene of tranquil silence.
The muddy ground was not completely smashed and only formed a crater that reached seventy to eighty feet.
"Continue, quickly!" Fang Yuan urged before jumping inside.
Hei Lou Lan took a deep breath and jumped inside, punching rapidly.
Under these continuous bombardments, the giant crater deepened further and after thousands of feet, it finally broke open completely, forming a hole.
Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan entered this hole to the thirty-seventh layer.
Hei Lou Lan was covered with sweat. She raised her head and saw that the hole was rapidly being restored under the effect of the Gu formations.
"That was the thinnest area in the thirty-sixth layer. Even so, it was nearly ten thousand feet thick."' Fang Yuan explained.
"How did you discover this place?" Hei Lou Lan was filled with doubts.
Fang Yuan snickered. Due to the Snowy Mountain Alliance, he could not lie but could choose to not speak.
Hei Lou Lan saw Fang Yuan's silence and snorted, but did not pursue it.
The thirty-seventh layer was filled with much more danger. After all, this place was completely in its raw state, Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan could be said to be among the first outsiders to explore it.
When the two finally reached the fortieth layer, the seal on Star Lord Wan Xiang finally reached its time limit.
"Your estimate was really accurate." Hei Lou Lan placed Star Lord Wan Xiang's corpse on the ground and gazed at Fang Yuan deeply.
At Fang Yuan's will, hundreds of mortal Gu flew out from Star Lord Wan Xiang's body like a swarm of locusts, they buzzed as they flew into Fang Yuan's immortal aperture.
Without the layer of suppression, Star Lord Wan Xiang's body gradually let out bright starlight.
The starlight became brighter and brighter, at the same time, the ground started to tremor.
Several breaths later, vast amounts of earth qi emerged like layers of dust accumulating on the ground.
The starlight stabilized, the piercing radiance was comparable to the sun during a summer afternoon.
A formless suction force suddenly erupted which started to absorb the surrounding earth qi. Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan had already retreated far away from the starlight.
"What is going on?"
"It is an earthquake, another earthquake!"
"Leave, the earthquake this time is quite strong, if we don't leave now we might be buried alive."
The Gu Masters in Earth Abyss scurried off like rats, shouting in panic as they ran as fast as they could out of Earth Abyss.
They did not feel this was strange.
The structure of Earth Abyss was not stable and there would occasionally be earthquakes or collapse of places within. It was because of this as well that Ancient Soul Sect did not spend a lot of energy to carry out explorations, even though they were in control of this place.
Large amounts of stones fell down from above, even more dangerous were those sharp stalactites that could pierce through rank three defensive Gu if they struck.
In fact, not only the Gu Masters, the numerous living beings in Earth Abyss were also in misery. Many were crushed to death by the falling stones, while others were buried alive.
To place the blessed land, Fang Yuan had brought about the death of at least a hundred thousand or more lives.
After five minutes of time, the starlight slowly stopped absorbing earth qi, and formed a large square door. The large door was completely constructed from starlight and was hovering in the air. There was a plaque on top of the door where four words were written – Star Form Blessed Land.
Hei Lou Lan let out a breath of cloudy air: "We finally succeeded, it seems our luck is not bad. The commotion was huge, but it did not lead to an attack from the wild beasts in this place."
"Let's go." Fang Yuan took the lead and opened the starry entrance.
Hei Lou Lan followed closely behind. The two entered Star Form blessed land.
It was as if it was late at night in here, the sky was pitch black and filled with stars.
The dazzling starlight shone on the ground of the blessed land, the visibility was high and it was not dark.
The whole of Star Form blessed land's terrain was like a giant basin. In the center were upwards sloping grounds while at the edge of the blessed land were continuous mountain ranges, as if forming a circular wall.
"So much star fragment grass!" Fang Yuan looked at the ground, the grass underneath him here actually entirely consisted of star fragment grass.
Star fragment grass clearly required to be planted on cloud soil, but this star fragment grass was directly planted on the black muddy ground, yet their growth was in a much better state than the ones Fang Yuan planted in Hu Immortal blessed land.
Fang Yuan sighed with praise: "This is the benefit of having a star path blessed land, growing the related plants is not only easier, but also guarantees harvest."
Hei Lou Lan's gaze was, however, attracted to the spinefin star dragonfish that were leisurely flying in the night sky.
She could only see three spinefin star dragonfish.
These giant dragon fish were about the size of a whale, but had the shape of a carp. There were bones protruding out of their backs that extended outwards.
Their scales were blue in color, their eyes were as large as carts, with some starry radiance in them.
However, under the keen observation of Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan, they quickly discovered some traces of battle. Not far away, large patches of plotted grass were in flames with black smoke rising up. The three spinefin star dragonfish had injuries on their body. At the far end of their sight, those continuous mountain ranges also showed unnatural holes, like cheese that was nibbled at by rats.
"It seems that this Gu Immortal had been in a fierce battle." Fang Yuan said.
"Right, if not for my main body being heavily injured by Song Zi Xing, suffering hidden injuries to both the physical body and soul, how could my grand main body, Star Lord Wan Xiang, perish inside the eighth star hall?" A boy suddenly appeared before Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan.
His appearance was as if he was carved from jade. He was wearing pinkish blue clothes wrapped around his chest and stomach, his small arms and legs were tender white like lotus roots. He was hovering in the air, his small cheeks puffing in anger.

Chapter 729: Splitting Loot
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Star Lord Wan Xiang? It's him…" Hearing the land spirit introduce himself, Fang Yuan revealed a flash of comprehension on his face.
"Land spirit, do you still remember me?" Fang Yuan smiled lightly: "I had bought star fragment grass and the killer move, spring star rain, from your main body previously."
Star Form Child's gaze flickered, he reassessed Fang Yuan as his expression became more gentle: "So it is you, I have some impression."
"Just the land spirit alone cannot take care of the entire blessed land, I wonder if you would like to seek refuge with one of us?" Fang Yuan asked directly.
Hei Lou Lan stood at the side, showing some nervousness on her face, she stared intently at Star Form Child.
Star Form Child nodded his small head, showing some sadness, saying: "To protect this foundation, I will need the help of others. But I have my conditions."
Although Star Form Child was formed from Star Lord Wan Xiang's lingering obsession, it had assimilated with the blessed land and was the representative of the blessed land's will.
If he did not have the help of other Gu Immortals, the blessed land would experience heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities again and again, until it perishes.
Any life form had an instinct for survival, even land spirits were no exception.
"Please speak." Fang Yuan quickly asked.
Star Form Child frowned, pouting as he said angrily: "The reason my main body died in the eighth star hall was because of Song Zi Xing. He caused a huge injury to my main body, forcing me to expose my secret and explore the grotto-heaven with Immortal Monkey King Shi Lei. If you want to become this blessed land's owner, you will need to bring me Song Zi Xing's head!"
"Song Zi Xing's head?" Hei Lou Lan heard this condition and laughed bitterly.
Even though she was not a person from Central Continent, she had heard of Song Zi Xing's reputation.
Song Zi Xing was a former disciple of Myriad Dragon Dock, after getting the blood sea inheritance, he refused to hand it over and chose to betray them. In order to exterminate him, Myriad Dragon Dock sent eight Gu Immortals in succession.
Five rank six and three rank seven, in the end, four were killed by Song Zi Xing, three were crippled and one was forced to retreat.
Myriad Dragon Dock suffered a huge loss and from then on, they did not dare to attack Song Zi Xing without preparation again.
Song Zi Xing was now roaming around scot-free, he was one of the strongest experts among the demonic path in Central Continent, he had rank seven cultivation and used the blood path which was extremely powerful at fighting.
People in Central Continent publicly recognized that Song Zi Xing's battle strength was about the same as Shi Lei, while being weaker than Feng Jiu Ge. That was because many years ago, Song Zi Xing had encountered Feng Jiu Ge and was forced to retreat after Feng Jiu Ge used three moves to utterly defeat him.
"Alright, I will give it a try." Fang Yuan's expression was unchanged, he agreed.
"You have to hurry, try your best! Star Form blessed land's earthly calamity is coming soon, if I cannot get through it, the blessed land will be destroyed, it will be useless even if you meet the condition then." Star Form Child urged.
Fang Yuan's gaze shined: "If that is the case, I can help you resist the earthly calamity first."
Star Form Child shook his head like it was a rattle: "I will not allow any external Gu Immortal to stay in Star Form blessed land for more than seven minutes. People's hearts are hard to read, only my master can help me to pass tribulation. Not long after, I will use treasure yellow heaven to spread this information, and get more people to deal with that accursed Song Zi Xing!"
Hei Lou Lan's heart sank, but she had a deeply scheming heart, her expression was still very calm.
She thought about her words as she said: "Then you have to be careful, land spirit. People's hearts are hard to read, you might attract greedy wolves that would come and attack your blessed land directly!"
Star Form Child laughed: "Don't worry, I am not stupid, I will not expose this location to them. Only those who meet my condition can enter Star Form blessed land. Leave, and remember not to tell others the location of this blessed land."
The land spirit was sending the guests out, Fang Yuan did not stay forcefully, he bid his farewell and left with Hei Lou Lan using the blessed land's entrance, back to Earth Abyss.
The moment the two of them stepped into Earth Abyss, the door behind them vanished, completely disappearing.
The blessed land was a small world, even though it was placed on the ground and took in earth qi, as long as the entrance was not open, it was very well hidden.
Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan were silent, after getting rid of all their traces, they used Fixed Immortal Travel and returned to Hu Immortal blessed land.
They were in a safe environment now, the first thing they did was to split the loot.
"This journey into Starry Sky grotto-heaven was terrifying but harmless, we made a huge profit. I am regretting it slightly now, if I knew this, I would not have agreed to the forty percent and sixty percent split." Hei Lou Lan sighed as she took the loot out of her immortal aperture.
"Why are there so many desolate beast corpses? This boar looks like an ancient desolate beast. Eh, there is a lion here, it is not dead yet." At once, Little Hu Immortal's attention was attracted to the desolate beasts on the ground.
Blazing divine stallion, flying bear, star demon bat, chestnut yak… a total of seven desolate beast corpses and a yellow jade lion which was barely on the verge of death.
Other than these, there was the astral wind flying heavenly boar, the corpse of an ancient desolate beast. There were also several hundred kilograms of diamond soil dug out from the diamond bear's cave. Finally, there were around ten mysterious trees.
These trees were part of a forest, when they had first entered Starry Sky grotto-heaven, they trapped Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan. The two could not tell the origin of these trees and decided to take a few into her immortal aperture.
Afterwards, a star desolate hound charged over and interrupted their collection process.
The corpse of a desolate beast was worth approximately forty immortal essence stones. Ancient desolate beast corpses were much more expensive, they were ten times the price of desolate beasts corpses, that was four hundred immortal essence stones!
Looking at this, it seemed that the price of an ancient desolate beast was unreasonably high.
But the truth was, ancient desolate beasts were hard to kill, not only was their battle strength equivalent to rank seven Gu Immortals, their bodies were covered in dao marks, mortal killer moves were ineffective on them. Even immortal killer moves were not very effective.
Ordinary immortal killer moves used rank six Immortal Gu as the core, when dealing with ancient desolate beasts, it was like using a dagger to stab an elephant. Although it had effect, the injuries had to be accumulated over a long period of time.
Only immortal killer moves formed with rank seven Immortal Gu were an effective method to forcefully deal with ancient desolate beasts.
Therefore, when immortal killer moves were involved, immortal essence would be expended. The cost of killing an ancient desolate beast would be much higher as a result. One often needed to expend several hundred green grape immortal essence beads or tens of red date immortal essence beads.
As a result, the profit that they gained was usually only about a hundred immortal essence stones.
Although the profit of killing ancient desolate beasts was still much higher in terms of efficiency, two factors needed to be considered. First, there was great risk in fighting with ancient desolate beasts. Second, not any Gu Immortal could deal with ancient desolate beasts. Ordinary rank six Gu Immortals would choose to retreat or run away when faced with an ancient desolate beast.
Only rank seven Gu Immortals like Shi Lei, an expert even among rank seven Gu Immortals, had the confidence to kill ancient desolate beasts.
"Seven desolate beast corpses are worth around two hundred and eighty immortal essence stones. The nearly dead yellow jade lion, for now we can count that as around eighty immortal essence stones. The corpse of the astral wind flying heavenly boar is four hundred immortal essence stones. Hundreds of kilograms of diamond soil is around thirty immortal essence stones. These mysterious trees are of an unknown origin, we will exclude them for now. All in all, the profit is seven hundred and ninety immortal essence stones."
Hei Lou Lan calculated, the result made her a little tongue tied.
Almost eight hundred immortal essence stones!
Undoubtedly, this was a huge fortune!!
Hei Lou Lan's breathing became faster.
Ever since she became an immortal, she had been calculating her immortal essence stone expenditure piece by piece. Right now, there were almost eight hundred immortal essence stones right in front of her!
Fang Yuan was in better shape than Hei Lou Lan, using the unlimited inspiration of wisdom Gu, he made many transactions with Lang Ya land spirit and had tens of immortal essence stones on him as liquid currency.
But even so, with eight hundred immortal essence stones in front of him, Fang Yuan sighed in his heart.
Even in his previous life, he had no such experience. In the five hundred years of his previous life, the highest amount of immortal essence stones he had on hand at a point in time was merely sixty or so.
According to the four-to-six ratio, Fang Yuan could get four hundred and seventy-four immortal essence stones.
"This huge profit was because we looted all of this without any battle, thus we expended no immortal essence. We merely picked them up for free." Fang Yuan calmed his mind and said.
"Hehe, that barbarian monkey is probably fuming now. Will he attack Hu Immortal blessed land?" Hei Lou Lan asked with a bit of worry, after all, this was a huge sum.
"No." Fang Yuan shook his head." To us, this is a huge sum, but for a rank seven Gu Immortal like Shi Lei, he has at least several thousand immortal essence stones in his possession!"
Normally speaking, rank six Gu Immortals could have several hundred immortal essence stones on them, while ordinary rank seven Gu Immortals would have thousands.
Strength and wealth were in a reasonable ratio.
Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan were newly advanced Gu Immortals, they had just stepped into the world of Gu Immortals, they were working with a whole new identity, starting from scratch, thus they were extremely poor.
As for Fang Yuan lacking money in his previous life, one reason was because blood path was not good for the development of assets, it excelled in fighting. Secondly, because of the five regions chaotic war, there were many fights and he had high expenditure during that period.
Fang Yuan continued to analyze: "Furthermore, Central Continent's ten great ancient sects are righteous sects, and even compared to super forces in the other regions, they have a long history. These great sects have to abide by order and stability, they care about their face and reputation. Shi Lei will definitely want revenge on us, but he would not do it forcefully. He will use righteous methods to suppress us, after all, we are now a part of Immortal Crane Sect."
Hei Lou Lan nodded, she agreed with Fang Yuan's perspective, she showed some pity on her face: "It is unfortunate that we did not obtain that walking meat tree. It is an ancient desolate plant, a thing of legend, it can be sold for a higher price than the astral wind flying heavenly boar."
Fang Yuan said: "I do not believe so, at that time, compared to the walking meat tree, Star Form blessed land was much more important."
"How will we split Star Form blessed land?" Hei Lou Lan looked at Fang Yuan, her expression turning serious. In front of a huge profit, she was not going to give up on it easily.
These desolate beast and ancient desolate beast corpses were easy to split because their price could be evaluated. But Star Form blessed land could not be easily assessed, immortal essence stones could not express the true value of a blessed land.
A blessed land was like a gold mine, it could produce resources endlessly. After swallowing it, it could even improve a Gu Immortal's cultivation. It could be said that one's blessed land or grotto-heaven was the Gu Immortal's greatest achievement in their cultivation journey.
Fang Yuan thought about it, before saying: "Star Form blessed land is not easy to split, how about this, we will compete for it fairly. Whoever fulfils the land spirit's condition first will obtain Star Form blessed land. The other party has to accept the result without any compensation. Star Form blessed land is the result of our hard work, only the two of us can compete in this contest, we cannot interfere with each other maliciously. Other than us, even if it was Fairy Li Shan or Tai Bai Yun Sheng who want to fight for Star Form blessed land, we will work together and stop them. What do you think?"
Hei Lou Lan's gaze flickered as she nodded: "That will be the best!"

Chapter 730: Giving You Qingpu Tea
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Central Continent, Bai Qing blessed land.
Bright sunlight shined down on this small world.
The mountain stream flowed slowly, the tall ancient trees spread out their huge green leaves. Sunlight penetrated between the holes amongst the leaves, because of the breeze, beams of light would sway gently when shining down on the ground.
Feng Jin Huang was reclining on the grassy ground, her back against a tall tree. Feeling the wind, she breathed in deeply, the clear air was mixed in with the fragrance of the grass.
The book of The Legends of Ren Zu was exquisite and beautiful, in the hands of Feng Jin Huang, she had already flipped it to the last few pages.
Feng Jin Huang's eyes were clear as water, she stared at a page of the book without blinking.
Although she had heard about the story of Ren Zu since her youth, due to her mystical experience in the dream realm, when she read The Legends of Ren Zu again with deeper insight, Feng Jin Huang felt many new emotions emerging in her.
At the end of The Legends of Ren Zu, it said — Ren Zu's ten children died one after another, even Ren Zu himself was going to die of old age, he was at the end of his life. Before dying, Ren Zu retrieved the corpses of his ten children, and sacrificed himself, sending them all into derivation Gu's stomach, eaten by it.
Large amounts of dream realms also followed the smell of the delicious food, going into derivation Gu's mouth along with them.
Derivation Gu's stomach was burst open, as countless light of life shone on the lands, creating the first batch of mortals.
"Because the dream realm was involved in the derivation, the first batch of mortals would experience dreams when they slept at night. Humans often sink deep into dreams, like Northern Dark Ice Soul, and are unable to free themselves from it." Feng Jin Huang thought as she stretched out her hand, closing the The Legends of Ren Zu book as she stood up.
"Mother, send me back to the building. I am tired." She said softly.
"Okay." At the next moment, Feng Jin Huang heard Fairy Bai Qing's gentle voice echoing near her.
Feng Jin Huang vanished on the spot, she reappeared in her own room inside the small building.
In the room, Fairy Bai Qing was already waiting.
Feng Jin Huang's eyes shone with joy: "Oh, mother, why are you free today, don't you need to blend in the earth qi?"
When a Gu Master reaches rank six and becomes a Gu Immortal, their aperture would take in the three qi of heaven, earth, and human, elevating it into an immortal aperture, forming a small world.
Gu Immortals manage their immortal apertures and increase their cultivation level. But the more objects that enter the immortal aperture, gradually, the heaven and earth qi inside the immortal aperture would become insufficient.
Like a carefully nurtured bonsai, as the tree inside grows larger, the pot becomes too small, and the soil will seem very shallow.
At this time, Gu Immortals will place their blessed lands on the ground, taking in earth qi, or place their grotto-heavens in the sky, taking in heaven qi.
After taking in heaven and earth qi, they would stabilize their blessed land or grotto-heaven, increasing the foundation of the immortal aperture. After their cultivation level stabilizes, they would be able to continue cultivating with a more stable foundation.
Fairy Bai Qing's current condition was that she had managed the blessed land for quite some time, it was becoming unstable. She placed the blessed land on the ground, and she herself was inside, taking in the earth qi of the large region, Central Continent, and assimilating it into her blessed land.
Fairy Bai Qing looked at her cute daughter with a doting gaze, praising: "Huang Er, it seems that after this dream realm encounter, your mental state had been greatly trained. In the past, you would have complained to me and would request for me to accompany you. But this time, I blended in the earth qi for three days and three nights without spending any time with you, yet you actually read books and refined Gu quietly, your mental state is much more mature than before, mother is very happy."
"Of course!" Feng Jin Huang smiled happily, showing her white teeth, she raised her head as the bells rang on her phoenix coronet, she said proudly: "Who am I? I am father and mother's flesh and blood, how can I ruin both of your reputations!"
Her smile infected Fairy Bai Qing as she smiled as well: "Ever since the first batch of mortals were born, they could dream. Almost nobody can avoid dreaming, after all these years, countless geniuses and talented individuals, even Immortal Venerables and Demon Venerables, they have their own dream realms. These dream realms gather together, forming a huge hidden realm of an unprecedented size. Huang Er, your dream wings Immortal Gu can allow you to enter dream realms at will, it is a movement Immortal Gu that prevents you from being influenced by dream realms! This is a huge opportunity for you, you need to make good use of it."
"I understand, mother. These recent days, I have been trying to refine Gu, I found out that my refinement path realm had reached quasi-master level. The advantages of the dream realm are simply too much, I had always lacked interest in refinement path, I had never practiced it normally. But after this dream realm journey, my attainment rose so sharply, I have exceeded many people in the sect." Feng Jin Huang sighed and said.
"You moved about in Old Immortal Kong Jue's dream, you unknowingly obtained some of his refinement path true meaning. But that was because Old Immortal Kong Jue himself was a refinement path supreme grandmaster, thus you had much to gain. Dream realms are extremely complex, you might not be so lucky next time, to encounter the dream of someone as qualified as Old Immortal Kong Jue." Fairy Bai Qing analyzed.
Feng Jin Huang was nonchalant, she laughed: "If I can't encounter it, then so be it. I do not have interest in refinement path anyway, next time, all I need to do is enter the dream of an Immortal Venerable or Demon Venerable. Sigh, it is a pity, I walk on the metal path, yet none of the ten venerables cultivate this path."
Fairy Bai Qing heart jumped when she heard this, she became serious: "Huang Er, do not let your guard down. You were safe and sound this time because you were lucky, the dream realm you were in was not dangerous or harmful. If you really enter the dream of a venerable, you have to retreat immediately, the power of a venerable is not something you can imagine."
Feng Jin Huang's first stuck out her tongue, before she replied obediently: "Yes mother, I understand."
Fairy Bai Qing's expression became more gentle, she took out a letter Gu: "This is a letter from your father, he has already broken through the regional wall, and has found a place to rest after entering Northern Plains. He has not learned of your awakening yet, but since he has already sent us a letter, we can use this letter Gu to reply to him, say a few words to him and relieve his worry, so that he can deal with the missions in this Northern Plains journey."
"Father's letter?" Feng Jin Huang's eyes shined, she jumped over and took the letter Gu from Fairy Bai Qing, her consciousness entering it.
But in the end, she could not read it.
Feng Jin Huang pouted: "Oh, it is that information path Immortal Gu, Letter Sending Green Bird, I am still a mortal, I cannot read it."
Fairy Bai Qing patted her head: "Your father is currently in Northern Plains, how can he cross the regional wall without using an information path Immortal Gu? What are you anxious for, I had just praised you for becoming more mature."
Saying this, Fairy Bai Qing injected a will into Feng Jin Huang's mind.
Feng Jin Huang was familiar with this, countless thoughts generated in her mind as she conversed with the will, instantly, she could 'see' the information in Feng Jiu Ge's letter.
"Father…" Feng Jin Huang read Feng Jiu Ge's letter, and saw the concern and worry he had towards her, she was so moved her eyes turned red.
"I want to see father immediately and show him my current refinement path attainment. He had always been worrying about my refinement path realm." Feng Jin Huang muttered.
"Don't worry, I will tell your father in the letter."
"Don't, don't tell him, I want to give father a surprise."
"Alright." Fairy Bai Qing took out a letter Gu next, it was also a letter sending green bird Gu, but this was a rank five mortal Gu.
"This is another letter for you, it is from Fang Yuan. He had sent it long ago, take a look at it." Fairy Bai Qing said.
"Fang Yuan!" Feng Jin Huang heard this name and gritted her teeth, her brows were sharp like swords, and her beautiful face turned red from embarrassment.
She snatched the letter Gu and checked it.
Fang Yuan had put in a lot of information in the letter, he first praised Spirit Affinity House extensively, his tone was like he wanted to join them, and he afterwards agreed with Feng Jin Huang's challenge, and he even apologized for replying so late.
At the end of the letter, there was a line — I am currently in Hu Immortal blessed land, my doors are open to await for Fairy Feng Jin Huang's visit. I have heard that Spirit Affinity House's qingpu tea is extremely famous. If you intend to spar with me, I would get to experience the taste of this famous tea, that would be extremely enjoyable.
"Hmph! He truly has the leisure time and mood, he wants to drink qingpu tea? He wants to enjoy the taste of tea? Evil thief! Lecherous thief! I want to tear you into pieces and break up your bones to feed dogs!" Feng Jin Huang's eyes were burning with fire, she exerted some strength unknowingly, and the letter sending green bird Gu was chirping in response.
Fairy Bai Qing quickly saved this letter Gu: "Huang Er, this is something mother wants to talk to you about. Undoubtedly, Fang Yuan has exceeded our expectations once again, he is no longer like before. If you spar with him now you will only lose, there is no way to win."
"What?" Feng Jin Huang stared with her eyes wide open, looking at Fairy Bai Qing in shock.
Fairy Bai Qing told her about the details of Fang Yuan becoming an immortal zombie, and that he had a mysterious force behind him that managed to force Immortal Crane Sect to retreat after attacking Hu Immortal blessed land.
"Immortal zombie? He actually became an immortal zombie?" Feng Jin Huang muttered to herself, if it was not her mother saying this, she would not believe it herself.
"How long has it been, he actually became an immortal already? We are about the same age, how can he have such firm foundations to charge towards Gu Immortal realm?" Feng Jin Huang was very perplexed.
Fairy Bai Qing replied her: "Regarding his suddenly transformation into an immortal zombie, our ten great ancient sects have some guesses. Although raising one's foundation is hard, it is not impossible. There is an example right in front of us, that is dream realms. Other than that, we have guessed that the mysterious force behind him might have some sort of special immortal ascension method, to allow a Gu Master to become an immortal zombie."
"But becoming an immortal zombie means your cultivation level will stagnate, it can no longer progress." Feng Jin Huang frowned.
"That is the cast. But think about it, a rank five mortal Gu Master compared to a rank six immortal zombie, the latter is obviously much stronger." Fairy Bai Qing said.
Feng Jin Huang showed some disdain on her face: "I don't care if he was greedy towards short term profits, or that he was forced to do so, he will definitely not be my match in the future. He is rushing to challenge me now, it is obvious that he knows he can only continue to bully me during this period of time, in the future, it will be my turn. This coward is timid like a rat, he is a shameless and unscrupulous person!"
"Huang Er, do not be blinded by your own hatred and anger." Fairy Bai Qing's expression was very solemn: "This Fang Yuan is not simple, this letter that he sent was right before Immortal Crane Sect attacked, his real intention was to build a relationship with us, Spirit Affinity House, it was a tactic to bring in a third party. He has Dang Hun mountain right now, and is making transactions with our ten great ancient sects. His name has spread far and wide in Central Continent, almost every Gu Immortal knows of his existence now."
"Mother, I was wrong, I was too agitated." Feng Jin Huang gritted her teeth, trying to regain her calm.
"How will you respond to this letter? Ignore it, or reply to it, I will let you decide." Fairy Bai Qing purposely tested her.
Feng Jin Huang said immediately: "Of course we will reply! Since this challenge was set by me, and he has already responded. If I avoid battle because he is an immortal zombie, then I would be showing weakness."
"But…" Her eyes turned as she said: "The enemy is strong while I am weak, only a fool will go head to head with him. Hmph, soon, the Central Continent Refinement Path Convention is going to begin. I will use refinement path and defeat him in public! This will soothe some of my anger. Mother, what do you think of this?"
Fairy Bai Qing nodded in satisfaction: "This is a good idea."
Feng Jin Huang gritted her teeth, her eyes shined with bright light: "In the following days, I am going to find refinement path Gu Master dreams, and rapidly build up my foundation in refinement path. Using him as an opponent, it will urge me and promote the growth of my cultivation level."
Fairy Bai Qing laughed, patting Feng Jin Huang's head: "This is my good daughter."
Feng Jin Huang squinted, as she replied, she chuckled coldly: "You want to pretend to be cultured and drink qingpu tea, sure, I will give you fifty or sixty jars of it! But if you want to compete, we cannot do so without a bet. I will make you lose in both reputation as well as substance!"

Chapter 731: Four to You, Six to Me
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Northern Plains, Lang Ya blessed land.
"Land spirit, I brought you a live desolate beast, come and check it out." Fang Yuan said as he opened his immortal aperture, activating a dozen Gu worms as he took out a lion and placed it on the ground.
This lion was large like a giant elephant. It was brown-yellow in color, and thick fur covered more than half of its body.
It was sleeping now, making a snoring sound. It was the yellow jade lion.
It was originally injured heavily, on the brink of death. But as long as it was still alive, with Fang Yuan's current abilities and assets, he could heal it back to full health.
Lang Ya land spirit stroked his beard, walking around the yellow jade lion as he observed.
He could move freely now, the qi path seals on his body were all released.
"Good lion, good lion, even if you are sleeping, you look so fierce. Not bad." Saying so, Lang Ya land spirit stretched out his arm and opened the yellow jade lion's mouth, seeing the tightly clenched teeth.
"Good teeth." Lang Ya land spirit praised. He continued to touch the lion along its body, until he reached the area between its hind legs.
Throughout the process, Lang Ya land spirit had been activating Gu worms silently, after inspecting it, he was pleased: "Not bad, it has vigor and vitality, it can reproduce as well. It is a pity that my blessed land is a refinement path blessed land, it is not great for raising these fierce beasts."
Lang Ya land spirit had twelve desolate beasts, he was very experienced with them and had become quite an expert, he was not unfamiliar with desolate beasts at all.
But Lang Ya blessed land was a refinement path blessed land, refining Gu here would have higher chances of succeeding. But there was no assistance or help for raising beasts.
Meanwhile, Hu Immortal blessed land was an enslavement path blessed land, it was good for raising fox groups. The fox groups inside Hu Immortal blessed land would have greater chances of producing a desolate fox.
Blessed lands and grotto-heavens were all very different, each of them had their own specialties.
This was because blessed lands and grotto-heavens were the immortal apertures of Gu Immortals. When Gu Immortals undergo immortal ascension, they would take in heaven and earth qi, and according to their understanding towards heaven and earth, their immortal aperture world would be created relating to the path of the Gu worm that they toss into it.
Lang Ya land spirit was very pleased with this yellow jade lion, he quickly gave Fang Yuan eighty-eight immortal essence stones, at the same time, he gave the details of the killer move unfamiliar face.
Fang Yuan looked through the details of it in front of Lang Ya land spirit.
This killer move had an extraordinary origin, it came from Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable.
"As expected of Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable, he had an innovative idea and went on a creative path." Fang Yuan praised: "There are only three hundred Gu worms used here, but they involve transformation path, strength path, wisdom path, and others, for a total of six paths. Hmm… some of the Gu worms are rare, it seems that it will take a while to recreate this killer move, after I collect all of these Gu worms. Lang Ya, do you have these Gu worms?"
Lang Ya land spirit shook his head, chuckling: "What would I keep these Gu for? I cannot use this killer move. Unfamiliar face, vaguely familiar face, and familiar face, these three killer moves are a series. What you obtained is merely the mortal killer move, able to transform into someone people do not know. If they know the person, you will be exposed. The latter two are immortal killer moves, even if you transform into a familiar person, you would not be exposed. Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable seemed to have left behind an inheritance of this, if you have the opportunity, you might obtain the other two killer moves in your lifetime, who knows."
Fang Yuan laughed bitterly: "How could I have such luck, to coincidentally find the other two immortal killer moves? The inheritances of these two might have been taken by others already."
Although he said that, he was moved in his heart.
He thought about the time in Northern Plains, when he obtained the inheritance that involved Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable's Luo Po valley inheritance.
He had already refined the key to enter the inheritance — open door Gu and close door Gu.
But he had not acted yet.
Gu Master inheritances were not easy to obtain. Especially demonic path inheritances, they were usually much harder than righteous path inheritances, and much more dangerous. Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable's inheritance was definitely an extremely dangerous place. With the situation being unclear, and myriad self being unusable, Fang Yuan would rather wait a while longer than take the risk unnecessarily.
Fang Yuan did not place much expectation on this, because he had guessed long ago — "The inheritance clue that I obtained was obviously not the only one out there. Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable did not want his inheritance to remain undiscovered, thus he spread the clues far and wide to increase the chances. This inheritance had been created such a long time ago, someone might have gone there already. Not speaking of anyone else, just look at Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, he seemed to have used Dang Hun mountain and Luo Po valley to cultivate soul path. Since Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable's inheritance involves Luo Po valley, I'm afraid Spectral Soul Demon Venerable has already been involved in it. In fact, he might have taken Luo Po valley away already."
Clearing up his mind, Fang Yuan took out three completed Immortal Gu recipes and handed them to Lang Ya land spirit: "This is the current transaction."
Lang Ya land spirit received the Immortal Gu recipes and checked them, seeing that there were no problems, he praised Fang Yuan's talent again: "Rascal, I rarely admire people, but your talent in deducing Immortal Gu recipes has truly made me look at you in a different light."
"Land spirit, I was about to talk to you about this." Fang Yuan said: "Regarding the transaction of the Immortal Gu recipes, I would like to change the details of our transactions."
"Oh?"
"All of your Immortal Gu recipes that have a high completion rate have been deduced by me already. The remaining ones have sixty to seventy percent completion rate, or even under fifty percent. I want to deduce these Immortal Gu recipes, but it would take a long time if I want to complete them. If I have to spend a month or two on them, I would not be able to do anything else. I suggest that we change the details of our transaction…"
Before Fang Yuan finished, Lang Ya land spirit shook his head: "Not changing, not changing, why must we change? I've spent so many immortal essence stones, wasn't it because you could deduce Immortal Gu recipes? You are a wisdom path Gu Immortal, and you are so skilled at deducing Immortal Gu recipes, why do you not want to continue? At most, I can increase the price and pay you a bit more compensation."
"Lang Ya land spirit, don't reject me yet, listen to me, I know you will be interested." Fang Yuan laughed confidently: "My suggestion is this, from now on, you will take charge of deducing the Immortal Gu recipes, whenever you encounter a problem and cannot continue, I will help you deduce the next step and get over that hurdle, each time, I will only charge two immortal essence stones."
"What? So it is such a deal…" Lang Ya land spirit fell into deep thought.
Fang Yuan's suggestion had indeed moved him.
After all, he was Long Hair Ancestor's land spirit, his refinement path attainment was quasi-great grandmaster, he had skills in deducing Immortal Gu recipes.
The reason he did not finish deducing these Immortal Gu remnant recipes was because he had met with a tough problem in each of them and could not continue until he resolved it.
If he passed this obstacle, he might be able to advance through the Immortal Gu recipe easily, and successfully complete it. Thus, Lang Ya land spirit would only need to pay Fang Yuan two immortal essence stones, it would be much cheaper than their former price.
Of course, if the Immortal Gu remnant recipe was very difficult, Fang Yuan might earn even more immortal essence stones than before.
But Lang Ya land spirit was confident, with his refinement path attainment, the first situation would be more likely.
"This way, Fang Yuan, your income will be much lower. Ah, I almost forgot, you are selling guts Gu now, your business is booming, is that why you do not want this work anymore?" Lang Ya land spirit jumped to realization.
Fang Yuan laughed: "Land spirit, this transaction benefits you too. After getting so many Immortal Gu recipes, and having regained your freedom, you can refine Immortal Gu again. When refining Immortal Gu, the vast majority of attempts fails, the success rate is simply too low, and you would expend an incredible amount of resources. I am helping you to save immortal essence stones, shouldn't you be thanking me?"
"Hmph, I knew you would say that." Lang Ya land spirit rolled his eyes, saying: "I can agree with this, but I have a condition."
"What condition?"
"It is a long story, do you know about Qin Bai Sheng's auction?" Lang Ya land spirit could not leave the blessed land, but he knew clearly about the things happening in Northern Plains.
"Of course I know." Fang Yuan nodded.
Lang Ya land spirit continued: "You are aware that some time ago, a mysterious force attacked my Lang Ya blessed land. They all failed, and during this process I captured some Gu Immortals. I intend to sell them all, or rather, I want to sell their blessed lands."
"Selling blessed lands?" Fang Yuan looked at Lang Ya land spirit with some shock, this was a very big move.
"Is this business practical?"
Fang Yuan's expression was solemn: "It would be a thousand times more popular than my guts Gu business! After Gu Immortals buy these blessed lands, they can swallow them and raise their cultivation level, they can also skip heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities, why did you not keep them for yourselves?"
Lang Ya land spirit shook his head: "To swallow a rank six blessed land, one needs master level attainment in that realm. To swallow a rank seven blessed land, one needs grandmaster level. To swallow a rank eight grotto-heaven, one will need great grandmaster attainment. Although my refinement path attainment is high, I am not involved in many other paths. And the most important reason is, I do not want to devour them. My Lang Ya blessed land has already reached the limits of a blessed land, any progress would elevate it to a grotto-heaven. A grotto-heaven's tribulations are far more dangerous. Back then, I purposely weakened Lang Ya grotto-heaven until it became a blessed land, why would I raise it up again?"
Fang Yuan understood: "That is true. Wait, your condition is to ask me to sell these blessed lands at the auction in your place?"
Lang Ya land spirit raised his thumb, saying with a tone of flattery: "You are a smart lad!"
Fang Yuan stared with wide opened eyes: "Do you want to kill me? No, this is definitely impossible! Once I sell these blessed lands, I will become the biggest target of everyone! It earns too much attention, how could have the ability to capture all these Gu Immortals? If I appear like this, that mysterious force would know and associate me with Lang Ya blessed land. Next time when they attack you, they might even attack my blessed land! Isn't the Inkman King Mo Tan Sang your good friend, ask him to go."
"Sigh, he is an inkman immortal, his origin is not good and has always been ostracized by humans. Furthermore, he has his family and inkman city to take care of. He is not appropriate." Lang Ya land spirit shook his head.
"Oh! You do not want him to go die, so you want to send me to die?!"
"Don't make it sound so terrible, don't you have the killer move unfamiliar face? With this killer move, other Gu Immortals cannot identify your true form." Lang Ya land spirit said in a low tone.
Fang Yuan gave an assessing look at the land spirit: "I was wondering why you were so generous, giving this precious killer move to me, so you had a plan from the start."
Lang Ya land spirit could not take it anymore, he stared with furious eyes as he shouted: "Rascal, do you think I'm unfamiliar with you?! You have ridiculous guts, since when have you been scared? You even destroyed Imperial Court blessed land and toppled Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, as long as the benefits are high enough, you are a desperado! Afraid of this matter? Just tell me, how much do you want?"
Fang Yuan snorted coldly: "We will split the profits from selling the blessed lands, at the least, it has to be a four to six ratio."
"Four to six ratio? You are too greedy, you are asking for forty percent?!" Lang Ya land spirit screamed.
A cold light flashed in Fang Yuan's eyes, his face was grim: "You are wrong, land spirit, my intention is, I will take sixty percent, you will take forty!"
Lang Ya land spirit was stunned, even though he had lived for so long, he was shocked by Fang Yuan's shamelessness and greed.
He breathed in deeply, staring at Fang Yuan's face: "Such words, you have the face to say it?"
"Why wouldn't I?" Fang Yuan's face was thick as a city wall: "I am going to take a huge risk involving my life, without enough profits to motivate me, I will not do it. This price is already the lowest, I am considering this based on the fact that we are old friends, this is a friendly price."
"Friendly price, I think you are trying to con a friend?"
"So no deal? Consider it more, this is the price I want, there is still some time until the auction, I am leaving first." Fang Yuan opened a stargate.
"Get lost!"

Chapter 732: Top Tier Mortal Killer Move
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Hu Immortal blessed land, Dang Hun palace.
Fang Yuan was sitting cross-legged on a cushion, looking at a pair of bat wings in front of him with full concentration.
A pair of large bat wings was hovering in front of him, thin and small scales of an eerie blue color with each having the size of a pinkie finger grew on the wings. As light refracted from the scales, it seemed to be giving off starlight.
After Fang Yuan returned from Lang Ya blessed land, he started repairing the star demon bat's wings. After nine days and nine nights of effort, it had reached the current crucial moment.
"Whether I can fix these bat wings or not depends on this." Fang Yuan willed and summoned a mortal Gu from his aperture.
He flicked his finger and threw this crucial mortal Gu in.
The mortal Gu turned into a drop of jade green liquid which created a layer of green light when it shot into the bat wings.
The radiance flowed like water, the green light spread and soon covered the entire pair of bat wings.
In the blink of an eye, the green light dispersed and was replaced by fine hair that covered the whole of the star demon bat wings.
Fang Yuan meticulously observed and probed with his ten fingers in turn, following his movement, the green haired bat wings also made constant turns in the air, letting Fang Yuan observe it from all angles.
Fang Yuan spread open his fingers, the shrunken star demon bat wings also unfolded. When he saw fine hair growing inside the bat wings, he nodded in satisfaction.
"When Shi Lei attacked and killed this star demon bat, he attacked with no restraint, causing the wings to be greatly damaged when I obtained it. Now I have invested my full effort into restoring it, but whether I can restore it or not, even I don't have much confidence."
Fang Yuan heaved a sigh and stood up.
He casually waved his hand, hundreds of Gu worms flew and circled around the green haired bat wings, tightly securing it inside.
Fang Yuan then passed by the bat wings and walked out of this secret room.
He closed the door of the secret room, darkness enshrouded the green haired bat wings inside the secret room.
Fang Yuan stood outside the door and lightly stamped his foot, calling: "Land spirit."
"Master, master, you called for me!" Little Hu Immortal immediately appeared beside Fang Yuan, her eyes shining and her face carrying a joyful expression of being able to see her master.
"I asked you to pay attention to the business in treasure yellow heaven, how is it going?" Fang Yuan walked as he asked.
Little Hu Immortal closely followed behind, replying: "Master had put the desolate beast corpses in treasure yellow heaven for sale, but only one desolate beast corpse was sold over these days."
Immortal Monkey King Shi Lei had already discovered Fang Yuan, thus, Fang Yuan might as well put these desolate beast corpses up for sale openly in treasure yellow heaven.
He had discussed matters with Hei Lou Lan, the two took what they needed first; Fang Yuan took the yellow jade lion and star demon bat wings while Hei Lou Lan took the flying bear corpse. Fang Yuan was put in charge of selling these beast corpses, no matter what the result was, he would have to give forty percent of the earnings to Hei Lou Lan.
Hei Lou Lan was also not afraid he would renege on his words, after all there was the Snowy Mountain Alliance.
Under normal circumstances, these desolate beast corpses would be popular goods that were quite rare, when they were put in treasure yellow heaven, they would be sold within four to six hours and it was very easy to earn immortal essence stones.
However, Fang Yuan did not want immortal essence stones this time.
He arranged a will to express to other Gu Immortals: to buy these beast corpses, they would have to exchange with specific goods.
First of all was a method for immortal zombies to turn back to human, or any information and clues.
Second was the Gu recipe for white lotus giant silkworm Gu, the Gu worm itself, or corresponding information and clues.
Third was the wings of bat desolate beasts.
Fourth was top tier mortal killer moves, the more outstanding they were, the better.
Fifth was bone path Gu worms like Battle Bone Wheel that could be arranged to form the killer move, White Bone Chariot.
Last was wisdom path inheritances or information and clues about them.
These six conditions were arranged in descending order according to Fang Yuan's needs, the ones listed first would be cheaper for the buyers when they purchase the beast corpses.
Fang Yuan's guts Gu business was extremely thriving right now, he did not lack immortal essence stones for the moment, thus he wanted to exchange them with goods.
Because of this, the desolate beast corpses which were popular goods and easy to sell had become this hard to sell. Twelve days had already passed in Hu Immortal blessed land, but they only managed to sell one desolate beast corpse.
"Oh? What did that beast corpse exchange for?" Fang Yuan asked excitedly.
"One whole chestnut yak was exchanged for a pair of bat desolate beast wings and an investigative killer move called hundred li eye." Little Hu Immortal replied.
Mortal killer moves normally would not exceed six immortal essence stones in treasure yellow heaven.
There were also detailed classifications between them.
Mortal killer moves that sold for half an immortal essence stone were classified as bottom tier goods, but they were better than nothing.
Mortal killer moves that were worth one to two immortal essence stones were mediocre, they could provide some help to Gu Immortals if used properly.
For instance, the killer move Fang Yuan looked at before but did not buy, spiral drill star spear, was valued at one immortal essence stone. Star Lord Wan Xiang's spring star rain was sold at one and a half immortal essence stone. The poison breath killer move which Fairy Li Shan gave Fang Yuan could be sold for two immortal essence stones.
Fang Yuan's previous defensive killer move hair armor was worth two immortal essence stones and was at the peak level of common mortal killer moves. Tai Bai Yun Sheng's defensive killer move nine cloud ring could absorb enemy's attacks to a certain degree before counterattacking, it was valued at two and a half immortal essence stones.
Mortal killer moves worth three immortal essence stones were middle tier, they were reliable methods.
For instance, Western Desert Gu Immortal Plump Lady's killer move, burial dragon sand coffin, was valued at three immortal essence stones.
Mortal killer moves worth four to five immortal essence stones had outstanding might and could not be looked down upon. They were considered as powerful methods that could often change the situation to a certain extent when they were used.
Fang Yuan's icy drill stardust had mixed in Dou Min Jun's inheritance which raised its value to four immortal essence stones. The lion fur armor which was an improved form of hair armor was valued at four and a half immortal essence stones.
And mortal killer moves that were worth six immortal essence stones were classified as top tier, few could be bought in the market. Fang Yuan's reinvented movement killer move, true solid bat wings, would have the effect of this tier if three pairs of bat wings were used.
Killer moves were one of the four main factors that influenced a Gu Immortal's battle strength.
When Fang Yuan possessed icy drill stardust, hair armor and light illusion bat wings, his battle strength had already reached the upper tier of rank six Gu Immortals. In his previous life, before Fang Yuan self-detonated, he possessed more than a dozen mortal killer moves, most of them were top tier level killer moves worth six immortal essence stones. His battle strength had been at the peak of rank six.
However, when one reached rank seven, it was a different scene. The immortal killer moves that consumed green grape immortal essence became common methods. And those immortal killer moves that consumed red date immortal essence became uncommonly used, hidden trump cards.
Most Gu Immortals did not have Immortal Gu, this was referring to rank six Gu Immortals. Gu Immortals that could cultivate to rank seven were even fewer in numbers, they were the elites of elites, experts among experts of rank six who would have experienced innumerable tribulations and calamities, had excellent aptitude, temperament and accumulation. There was no way to justify them not having Immortal Gu.
With Immortal Gu, there would be immortal killer moves.
Immortal killer moves were evolved from using mortal killer moves as a foundation. Like Hei Lou Lan who was trying to modify her strength path killer move to an immortal killer move.
Often one Immortal Gu can form different immortal killer moves according to the differences in mortal Gu. Thus, many Gu Immortals would have offensive killer moves even if they did not have offensive Immortal Gu. For instance, Fang Yuan's myriad self was an offensive killer move, but its core was cleanse soul Immortal Gu which was a support Immortal Gu that helped Gu Immortals in soul path cultivation.
"Hundred li eye…" After hearing Little Hu Immortal's reply, Fang Yuan nodded and commented, "This mortal killer move is valued at six immortal essence stones, it allows the Gu Immortal to observe the scenery within one hundred li as clearly as the lines on one's palm. Good, I was lacking this kind of investigative killer move. But of course, the greatest satisfaction in this transaction is that I obtained another pair of desolate beast bat wings."
He then asked: "Did any important things happen in the blessed land these recent days?"
Little Hu Immortal shook her head and reported that everything was normal.
Such tranquil days were very rare to Fang Yuan after his rebirth.
However, Fang Yuan did not dare to slack even a little. Ever since he saw the external manifestation of a dream realm in his trip to Starry Sky grotto-heaven, he felt a sense of urgency and could vaguely tell that the waves of the new era were coming.
Over the next few days, Fang Yuan began to handle the newly obtained pair of bat wings.
At the same time, he also arranged the old hairy men in the blessed land to refine Gu. The airsac Gu which could store guts Gu were naturally the main focus of the hairy men. Besides this, Fang Yuan divided the refinement procedures of group strength Gu and small family qi Gu, he then separately taught the old hairy men and let them go through similar practice.
These two Gu recipes could not be compared to others, they were ancient Gu recipes, their materials were rare and not easy to find in the present age.
Thus, Fang Yuan first used other similar materials and Gu worms to raise the hairy men's proficiency. When their proficiency reached the level Fang Yuan was satisfied with, only then would he truly let them refine these two Gu.
Fang Yuan's doctrine was to not raise idlers. Since he had already purchased the hairy men, he would try to squeeze every last bit of their worth.
After three days in Hu Immortal blessed land, there was still no activity in treasure yellow heaven.
Fang Yuan had taken care of a small part of the newly obtained bat wings. But the wings of the star demon bat was still being incubated.
Fang Yuan opened the door of the secret room and entered, standing in front of the green haired bat wings.
Right now, the green hair on the bat wings had already grown to be extremely thick and lush.
"Success or failure shall be determined at this moment." Fang Yuan used mortal Gu and with a snapping sound, a spark immediately was sent flying out.
The spark flew to the green haired bat wings, a soft sound echoed, the spark set the green hair aflame, forming a green fire.
The fire appeared quickly and disappeared just as quickly.
In a blink of an eye, the green hair on the bat wings floating in the air was already burnt off, revealing a pair of black bat wings. There were no small blue scales on the bat wings, instead they were replaced by a layer of thick ash.
Fang Yuan showed a trace of disappointment: "Failure."
He softly let out a breath of cloudy air, the weak breath touched the bat wings, this pair of bat wings fell down on the ground like charcoal and broke into pieces.
The bat wings were filled with heavy injuries. Shi Lei had destroyed the star demon bat's wings first to kill it. The wings had thus suffered serious damage, the star demon bat could no longer display its advantage in flying, and was finally killed by Shi Lei.
"Fortunately, I have another pair of bat wings." Fang Yuan quickly got over the disappointment, and soon he was busy in the refining process.

Chapter 733: Recognizing one's own ordinariness
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
With the previous refinement experience, this second attempt was much easier for Fang Yuan when refining the desolate beast bat wings.
After over half a month in Hu Immortal blessed land, he transplanted this pair of desolate beast bat wings onto his back. In accordance with his usual practice, Fang Yuan still chose to retain the sense of pain in the bat wings.
On this day, Fang Yuan was testing his killer moves on the top of Dang Hun mountain.
Hundred li eye.
He activated the killer move; his bright red pupils suddenly enlarged. He could see the grassland or debris within a hundred li of his surroundings with extreme clarity, like they were in front of him. Outside of a hundred li, his sight became blurry but was still much clearer than seeing with the naked eye.
After four hundred li, his line of sight reached the limit. it was all blurry and he could only distinguish some color and shadows.
"Hundred li eye is the base for thousand li eye, the latter is an immortal killer move and requires corresponding Immortal Gu to be used." Fang Yuan nodded in satisfaction, this killer move was valued six immortal essence stones and it indeed had outstanding effect.
It was just that the vision could not see through stealth or bypass obstacles, if any obstacles blocked the sight, the thing behind the obstacle could not be seen. This was the downside of hundred li eye.
Fang Yuan remembered both the merits and demerits, as he lightly flapped the wings on his back and flew to the sky.
He continued to maintain hundred li eye while flying, looking at the sky and ground with clear vision.
Lion fur armor.
He willed and activated the defensive killer move.
Soon, his body was covered in a layer of bronze armor with a helmet resembling a lion's head. Even his wings were covered with a layer of thick plate, greatly raising its defense.
But the speed, however, became slower.
"Lion fur armor and true solid bat wings cannot perfectly complement each other. Once I activate lion fur armor, true solid bat wings will have its speed reduced. If I don't use it, my speed might be fast but my defense will be lacking." Fang Yuan frowned.
This problem surpassed the range of his capabilities.
To create a movement killer move like lion fur armor, he had to balance the dao marks of three paths and it was the limit of his master attainment realm in transformation path.
Adding true solid bat wings on top of that was too difficult for Fang Yuan.
If he had grandmaster attainment in transformation path, there was a possibility. But reaching grandmaster realm required large amounts of time and accumulation. This time was not only tens of years but could be a hundred years or even several hundreds of years.
Fang Yuan's highest attainment realms currently were blood path and strength path.
Blood path grandmaster realm was achieved by Fang Yuan in his previous life after two to three hundred years of deep accumulation, it could be seen how difficult it was to raise one's realm and accumulate their foundation.
His strength path attainment was also at grandmaster realm, and besides a small part of the accumulation being from his previous life, most was from obtaining Reckless Savage Demon Venerable's true meaning infusion. Otherwise, he would have required two or three hundred years of accumulation to reach grandmaster realm.
At the Gu Immortal level, one had the strength to search and obtain lifespan Gu or other methods to prolong lifespan. Ordinary mortals had lifespans of one hundred years. But as long as a Gu Immortal put some effort, they could live several hundreds of years or even a thousand years.
The long lifespans and time involved made the significance of 'accumulation' even more heavy.
Why were Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan not able to beat Immortal Monkey King Shi Lei?
It was because after Shi Lei became a Gu Immortal, he relied on Combat Immortal Sect and had accumulated all sorts of experiences and insights for close to three hundred years! Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan had only recently advanced to Gu Immortal, how could they compare to Shi Lei's three hundred years of accumulation?
It was normal for them to not be able to defeat him!
If so, why did Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan have battle strength at the upper tier of rank six Gu Immortals when they advanced only recently?
Fang Yuan relied on the gains found in Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, while Hei Lou Lan relied on her mother's inheritance as well as the help of her aunt, Fairy Li Shan.
In other words, they had borrowed help from the accumulation of their predecessors!
"If I want my battle strength to improve drastically, just relying on myself to advance step by step would no doubt be a very long and inefficient process. In my previous life, when I walked on the blood path, I spent over two hundred years before I was able to comprehend a dozen or so mortal killer moves and create hundreds of new blood path Gu. I naturally need to learn from this lesson."
"In this world, heroes emerge in large numbers and geniuses are everywhere. Stars and peaks have been shining constantly in the long history of time. If someone wants to stick out and move forward bravely, they can only take advantage of their predecessors' inheritances and accumulations, absorbing their essences. All rivers flow into the sea, by being able to gather the different specialties together, only then can one rise above the group and become a ruler of people, achieving supreme feats."
Fang Yuan's gaze flickered as he flew around, sighing deeply in his heart.
People often believed they were extraordinary when they were young, feeling they were the main characters of the stage. After they undergo some experiences, they would then realize and accept: many other people had talent not inferior to themselves.
The saying goes: No matter how excellent you are, there is always someone more excellent than you.
A person's lifespan was limited in the end, like a lone boat. Meanwhile, the mysteries and profound meanings of heaven and earth were equivalent to a vast, limitless body of water.
Since ancient times, those who were in some sense able to reach the peak of heaven and earth numbered no more than ten. But even they could not reach the peak of all fields. Thus, even Giant Sun Immortal Venerable and Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable had to request for the help of Long Hair Ancestor in the Gu refinement aspect.
There was a record in The Legends of Ren Zu —
Ren Zu started walking on the road of life, the surroundings were pure darkness and under his feet was dirty mud.
Ren Zu asked self Gu: "Where is this?"
Self Gu replied: "This is the ordinary marsh in the lowest level of ordinary abyss."
Ren Zu knew of ordinary abyss, his eldest son Verdant Great Sun had once been trapped inside.
Ren Zu could not help but become excited: "Since this is the bottom of ordinary abyss, does that mean I have already left the door of life and death and returned to the living world? Does that mean I am now reborn?"
"In a way, that is true." Self Gu said.
"But how is this possible? I have not passed Luo Po valley and have not charged through the reverse flow river." Ren Zu said in an incredulous tone.
Self Gu said: "Oh human, you should know that you are talking about the path fate Gu traveled. And this path you have walked on is a completely new path, a path created by you. Where this path goes is all decided by your own intentions. Like I said before, as long as you want to walk, there will be a road for you to step on."
Ren Zu suddenly came to a realization: "So it was like this."
He then felt doubtful: "Then how did I walk to this place?"
Self Gu: "Humans are born ordinary. Although they are the spirit of all living beings, they do not have the claws of a tiger nor the ability to absorb nutrients from the earth like plants, and also cannot transform like clouds and rain. You came to the ordinary marsh, what's strange about it? It is not only you, look at the mud under your feet carefully, you will see traces of many other footprints."
Ren Zu lowered his head close to the ground before he was able to see clearly; like self Gu said, ordinary marsh was filled with all kinds of marks. Claws prints of wild beasts, root imprints of vegetation, traces of water flowing and also traces of stones rolling past.
"How can there be so many marks?" Ren Zu asked curiously.
Self Gu replied: "This is ordinary abyss, all living beings will enter here due to various reasons. All living beings are ordinary. But the absolute majority of them will be trapped in ordinary abyss for all their lives. Only a small portion can leave ordinary abyss through their own efforts."
"I do not want to be trapped here for my entire life. There is nothing here, it is completely dark and the air stinks, I want to leave this place." Ren Zu frowned.
Self Gu laughed loudly: "If you think that being ordinary is an abyss, then it is an abyss. But if you think that being ordinary is heaven, then it shall be heaven. Since you do not want to stay here, then leave, use your two legs to walk out of the ordinary marsh step by step and become extraordinary."
Ren Zu took the first step.
Suddenly, his body bent, his front leg was deeply embedded into the marsh.
It was not easy to walk in the marsh, one step was deep, another was shallow. The path which looked almost uniform had some parts that were rather solid, while some were very loose.
Ren Zu walked several steps when his eyes suddenly brightened as he thought of a trick.
He purposely chose to walk on the spots which had the claw marks, since these spots could hold the marks, its soil texture was also much more solid.
Thus, Ren Zu was able to walk very smoothly almost like he was running when compared to his previous speed.
He said with a burst of emotion: "So it turns out that in ordinary marsh, walking in the footsteps of predecessors is much faster than finding the way on your own."
After testing true solid bat wings and lion fur armor, Fang Yuan descended onto a slope.
Unfamiliar face.
Fang Yuan activated this newly obtained mortal killer move.
Almost all the Gu worms required for this killer move were essentially purchased from treasure yellow heaven by Hu Immortal land spirit, while the last remaining portions were refined by the hairy men.
Under the effect of the killer move, Fang Yuan's bat wings retracted, his eight rough and thick arms also changed to two. His sharp teeth were greatly shortened while his scarlet red eyes also turned lighter.
Finally, Fang Yuan's six meter tall body shrunk back to a normal person's height with great changes to his appearance.
It was only that his immortal zombie body was still an immortal zombie body, it could not be hidden.
Despite this, Fang Yuan could not help but praise: "Wonderful! This is only a mortal killer move but it is able to change my immortal body to this extent. Indeed worthy of being an invention of Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable."
Fang Yuan could imagine that if he was still a mortal, he could completely transform to any appearance, even changing to a woman perfectly.
He now had an immortal body, his body was filled with strength path dao marks. And as a mortal killer move, it was definitely not easy to alter his appearance to this extent.
The main thing was that this transformation was not an illusion but a real transformation of his physical body, even involving subtle transformation of his aura.
In short, even if Fang Yuan stood in front of Tai Bai Yun Sheng right now, the latter would not be able to recognize this immortal zombie was his own junior brother within a short period of time.
"Master, your appearance became much better looking. Ah, this letter just came in." Right at this time, the land spirit, Little Hu Immortal, appeared while holding a letter Gu which she handed to Fang Yuan.
"Hmm? Letter sending green bird Gu… Spirit Affinity House finally responded?" Fang Yuan's gaze flashed as he took the letter Gu and sent in his consciousness.
In a short while, he retracted his consciousness, a pondering expression flashed across his face: "Feng Jin Huang actually wants me to participate in the Refinement Path Convention to compete in refinement path? I remember she had no interest in refinement path in her early years and her accumulation in this field could be said to be like a blank sheet of paper right now. So why does she have so much confidence to compete with me in Gu refinement? Could it be that she had already discovered the true use of dream wings Immortal Gu?"
Fang Yuan's heart sank.
"Dream Wings, dream path…" Fang Yuan's eyes turned cloudy as he recalled the details of his previous life.
In his previous life, why did he gang up with a group of demonic path Gu Immortals to think of all sorts of ways to attack Hu Immortal blessed land? It was to kill Feng Jin Huang and seize dream wings Immortal Gu!

Chapter 734: Two Great Events
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"To think that more than four hundred years before the end of my previous life, dream realms had already shown up." Fang Yuan held the letter sending green bird Gu in his hand as he sighed in his heart.
At once, he lost the mood to test his killer moves.
In Fang Yuan's previous life, Central Continent was the first to trigger the war, suppressing the other four regions singlehandedly, and expanding rapidly. After that, the four regions collaborated, resisting Central Continent's invasion with much difficulty.
The entire war had gone into a stalemate, and when the four regions joined hands and attempted to attack Central Continent in return, dream realms appeared in all five regions.
In this world, ever since Ren Zu produced the first batch of humans, humans began to dream. Every time they dreamed, they would expand the dream realms, providing strength to them.
After countless days, a vast amount of time and changes, many heroes and geniuses rose up among humans, constantly expanding the dream realms.
The dream realms got bigger and bigger, finally attaining a qualitative change and surfacing to the outside world.
The people soon discovered that even though the environment of a dream realm was extreme and complex, dangerous and strange, it had great benefits. In dream realms, people could obtain the foundations of ancient people, allowing their cultivation realms to surge and improve rapidly.
The rise of their attainment could be in terms of decades, a century, or even centuries of hard work.
Because of dream realms, the attainments of Gu Masters rose rapidly, this led to an increase in their strength, and produced many amazing experts.
Previously, resources were held in the hands of clans and sects, attainment levels were hard to raise, and unless one was an incredible genius, they would not be able to rise up.
After dream realms appeared, their attainment levels rose, like they were standing on the shoulders of former geniuses, Gu Masters could recreate many Gu worms and killer moves, and on this basis, they could develop new Gu, Gu recipes, and new killer moves that were tailored to their abilities.
That was the flourishing of a super level great era.
Many small forces lacking in prominence rose up, countless lone cultivators emerged.
The appearance of dream realms devastated the rigid system and structures. Social order was in upheaval, the immense benefits made the people go wild!
Originally, the four regions were collaborating to resist Central Continent, but before they even began, the plan was halted.
All the different forces, countless Gu Immortals and Gu Masters, they all placed their attentions on dream realms.
In order to compete for all of the surfaced dream realms, the five regions fought against each other, resulting in a thoroughly chaotic war.
In order to explore the dream realm more efficiently, many knowledgeable people, talents and geniuses, produced the necessary Gu worms. Soon, the newly discovered dream path was rapidly formed and developed.
The legendary rank eight wisdom path Gu Immortal — Immortal Yi Yan's 'Prophecy of Three Venerables', was brought up once again.
He predicted that many years later, after three great eras, three venerables would appear, two men and one woman. The first was Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, second was Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable and third was Great Dream Immortal Venerable. As for the problem regarding the space escape Gu, it would be solved by Great Dream Immortal Venerable.
Spectral Soul Demon Venerable and Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable had already shown up, this made everyone believe in the prophecy more deeply.
The two were linked together, forming a common theory — the dream realm was the opportunity to become Great Dream Immortal Venerable, whoever can control the entire dream realm would be able to use the accumulations of past individuals to become a historical figure that transcends sages, a king among immortal kings, a venerable above venerables, Great Dream Immortal Venerable!
"In my previous life, the reason why I could rise up and become the lord of an area was not only because of my fortuitous encounter involving blood path, but also because of the five regions chaotic war. All of the super forces had much lower control over the situation at that time, and because they were focused on exploring dream realms, they could not pay attention to the real world situation, and that gave me the time and freedom to develop and grow. Unfortunately, by the time I had control in the real world, this new area known as dream realms had already been split up by all the huge forces. Even though I could enter dream realms and explore using mortal dream path Gu, I was lagging behind everyone as a beginner. Unless I had a dream path Immortal Gu, that would be the only way to catch up."
Precisely because of this, Fang Yuan gathered Song Zhong and other demonic path Gu Immortals to attack Hu Immortal blessed land, killing Feng Jin Huang. Unfortunately, he did not get her dream wings Immortal Gu.
Lacking an Immortal Gu and only having dream path mortal Gu, this caused Fang Yuan's exploration of dream realms to be without any important discoveries, while he was constantly chased away and suppressed by the large forces.
Fang Yuan had obtained a blood path inheritance in his previous life, he was constantly chased after and had an arrest warrant on him. After building the Blood Wing Demon Sect, he had spent a lot of effort managing his sect, it took away a lot of his time and effort. All in all, he missed the golden era of exploring dream realms.
After rebirth, he had been reflecting upon this. This was a mistake, although mostly due to external pressure forcing him, a small part of it was due to his poor judgment.
Thus, in this life, he remembered this lesson and even though he had a foundation in blood path, he did not dare to cultivate blood path rashly before taking that crucial blood path inheritance.
Blood path Gu Masters were hunted down like rats, not only did the righteous path issue warrants to arrest them, even demonic path members were wary of them. Only during the five regions chaotic war, when law and order broke down, could blood path emerge and prosper at a time when nobody could afford to care about them.
"It turns out that dream realms surfaced more than four hundred years earlier than the end of my previous life. All of the super forces had interactions with them long ago, thus, in about three hundred years, when dream realms surfaced extensively, these forces could enter and expand their influence. They were prepared since long ago, it was not my inability that I lost to them."
At this point of time, Fang Yuan was still a mortal during his previous life, desperately living at the bottom level of Gu Masters, restrained by his memories and experiences on Earth. Only after a long time did he break free of the limitations and shackles of such a mentality.
Sometimes, the advantage of being a transmigrator can also be a disadvantage.
This caused his information to deviate from what was happening in reality.
For example, like Starry Sky grotto-heaven.
Star Constellation immortal zombie was Seven Star Child immortal zombie. What Fang Yuan knew in his previous life was that this Star Constellation immortal zombie was a lucky person who had gained the most benefits inside the fragment worlds of Starry Sky grotto-heaven. But the truth was, he was the owner of Starry Sky grotto-heaven.
The reason why he called himself Star Constellation immortal zombie was most likely because of Star Constellation Immortal Venerable's dream realm surfacing inside his grotto-heaven. This resulted in Seven Star Child obtaining some of Star Constellation Immortal Venerable's accumulation.
"This matter regarding Seven Star Child is what originally happened. But Feng Jin Huang understanding the true usage of dream wings Immortal Gu was much earlier than in my previous life. Was this the effect of me snatching Hu Immortal blessed land from her?" Fang Yuan thought.
"After Feng Jin Huang learned about the true effect of dream wings Immortal Gu, Spirit Affinity House was sure to be alerted. And this in turn would affect the other nine great ancient sects as well. And from the other nine sects, the entirety of Central Continent would be affected. There is no wall in this world that can block all winds, in this way, the speed at which the people in this world learn about dream realms would be greatly pushed forward by me."
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan felt a strong sense of urgency.
Dream realms were an entirely new field, they were dangerous and complex, even though there was only one type of resource in them, they were extremely profitable. Fang Yuan would not commit the same mistake from his previous life twice.
"However, in the current situation, dream realms would not surface on a large scale. Dream realms that have surfaced can be explored using dream path mortal Gu. Those dream realms that have not surfaced can only be explored by using dream path Immortal Gu."
Fang Yuan was extremely aware of the value of dream path Immortal Gu.
But currently, with Fairy Bai Qing and Feng Jiu Ge around, even though dream wings Immortal Gu was in the hands of Feng Jin Huang, a mortal, nobody dared to target her.
Dream Travel was in the hands of the Northern Plains Gu Immortal, Lady Poison Scorpion, she lay dormant in Zi Du blessed land, and was the first Gu Immortal who used Dream Travel to explore dream realms, in the future, she used the identity of a lone cultivator to become the third overlord of dream realms. Lady Poison Scorpion was a rank seven Gu Immortal, her battle strength was even greater than Hei Cheng, and the defense of her blessed land was like an iron fortress. It was not easy to target her either.
As for the other dream path Immortal Gu, they were either not created yet or had not appeared yet, their origins were unknown.
Fang Yuan thought about it for a while, he used his primeval essence and wiped away the details on the letter sending green bird Gu, using his thoughts to fill it with words of his own.
He agreed to Feng Jin Huang's challenge, to have a competition during the Refinement Path Convention.
"Feng Jin Huang has dream wings Immortal Gu, she has confidence in herself. But my refinement path attainment has advanced from master level to quasi-grandmaster level, why would I be afraid of this junior?"
Fang Yuan snorted in his heart.
Deducing Immortal Gu recipes for Lang Ya land spirit was an opportunity, it allowed his refinement path realm to reach a breakthrough recently.
"Refinement Path Convention, it concerns the Infallible inheritance, such a grand event, even if Feng Jin Huang did not challenge me, I would have gone there to get a share of the rewards. However, joining the Refinement Path Convention will need me to prepare my own Gu refinement materials. If I want to have any gains, I will need to start collecting materials now.
Fang Yuan had the experience of participating in the Refinement Path Convention from his previous life.
To get a good ranking, he would need to prepare a huge amount of materials, worth at least five hundred immortal essence stones. A clever wife cannot cook without rice, even the best Gu recipe could not proceed without the relevant materials.
"Other than this, I have to attend the huge auction that Qin Bai Sheng is organizing with Fairy Li Shan as well." According to the newest information, this auction would have a segment for exchanging Immortal Gu.
Immortal Gu could not be bought, commonly speaking, they could only be exchanged.
When Gu Immortals obtain Immortal Gu, they might not suit their own path. At this time, they would undergo exchange with other Gu Immortals, to get an Immortal Gu that was suited for themselves, to display greater effect when used.
Just like Fang Yuan's worldly wave trace Immortal Gu, this was a water path Immortal Gu, the effect was much weaker when Fang Yuan used it as compared to a water path Gu Immortal.
This was because worldly wave trace Immortal Gu had the law of water path, meanwhile, Fang Yuan was a strength path Gu Immortal, his body was filled with strength path dao marks, strength path and water path interfered with each other, reducing the normal capability of this Immortal Gu.
During the five regions chaotic war in Fang Yuan's previous life, because battles were common, these Gu exchange sessions became much more frequent as well. But now was still a long time away from the war.
This grand auction in Northern Plains would probably be the only large scale Immortal Gu exchanging opportunity for the next two hundred years. Fang Yuan naturally had to make use of it.
Other than that, he was also very interested in the luck path inheritance.
"Auction and Refinement Path Convention, both of them need huge amounts of immortal essence stones. I have only two hundred immortal essence stones on me now, I can barely join in either of the grand events. It seems I can only rely on Lang Ya land spirit's idea of selling blessed lands of Gu Immortals."

Chapter 735: Finally Obtaining a Wisdom Path Inheritance
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Even with the sale of guts Gu, it had been too short of a time period, Fang Yuan had not accumulated enough immortal essence stones yet.
Furthermore, he had been refining Gu and tempering his bat wings, all these expenses caused his accumulation of wealth to be very slow.
The auction and Refinement Path Convention were two huge events, they would be held one after another. The former was already right around the corner. The only way to obtain a huge amount of immortal essence stones now would be through the Gu Immortals' blessed lands in Lang Ya land spirit's possession.
"It is a pity that my immortal aperture is dead, I cannot swallow other blessed lands. Otherwise, the first person to buy the blessed lands would be me!" Fang Yuan sighed in his mind.
The immortal apertures were small worlds, they could swallow each other, but there were requirements.
Firstly, dead apertures could not swallow apertures, they could only break down constantly until they vanish completely.
Secondly, a smaller immortal aperture could not swallow a bigger one.
Lastly, to swallow a rank six blessed land, one needed master attainment realm, to fuse the two different worlds together without problems. To devour a rank seven blessed land, grandmaster attainment realm is needed. To swallow a rank eight grotto-heaven, great grandmaster realm is needed.
That is to say, if Fang Yuan wanted to swallow immortal apertures, he would first need to become alive again, making his blessed land regain life force. Secondly, he could only devour strength path, refinement path, enslavement path, and transformation path blessed lands. Although strength path and blood path were at grandmaster attainment realm, he was only rank six and could only devour rank six blessed lands.
But even with such limitations, Gu Immortals were never hesitant towards blessed lands they could swallow.
The immortal aperture was the base and foundation of a Gu Immortal's cultivation, swallowing blessed lands was like taking someone else's foundation, it caused one's own cultivation level to surge extremely quickly.
As long as one was a Gu Immortal, they would know the value of the blessed land. Regarding the auction of blessed lands, it was sure to whip up a huge storm during the auction.
In the following days, Fang Yuan refined group strength Gu and small family qi Gu, while using the light of wisdom to try and improve the transformation path killer move unfamiliar face.
At the same time, he was still continuing to sell desolate beast corpses in treasure yellow heaven.
Half a month had passed in Hu Immortal blessed land, the sole rank seven corpse in Fang Yuan's possession — astral wind flying heavenly boar, was successfully sold.
Fang Yuan obtained a wisdom path inheritance that he had been wanting since a long time ago.
"Malicious thought Gu…" A few days later, Fang Yuan held a rank five mortal Gu in his hands with a complex expression.
This malicious thought Gu was refined by him using the Gu recipe in the wisdom path inheritance.
It had a huge body, around the size of a washing basin, it was like a spider but the eight legs were like needles, the tips were extremely sharp. On the body of the spider, there was tough and long prickly hairs. If not for Fang Yuan's immortal zombie body, ordinary flesh and blood would bleed upon touching this Gu.
Fang Yuan injected primeval essence, and malicious thoughts appeared in his mind one after another.
These malicious thoughts were like bubbles with sharp spikes on the surface. Fang Yuan tried to use these malicious thoughts, as they started to collide into each other instantly.
The scene of their collision was very peculiar.
The bubbles had spikes, they hooked up to one another, before getting destroyed or fusing into even bigger thoughts after that.
Soon, these malicious thoughts were consumed.
Fang Yuan opened his eyes, showing some joy in his gaze.
"Even for wisdom path Gu Immortals, their main method for deduction is to use thoughts. When using malicious thoughts to scheme or plot against others, the effect would be much greater. In that case, one malicious thought could be equivalent to tens of joyful thoughts, star thoughts, or empty thoughts."
Fang Yuan had used delight in water and mountain Immortal Gu to create a huge amount of joyful will in the past to assist his thinking. That was a wrong move.
Although wills were made of thoughts, their real use was not for thinking, but to act independently after splitting from the main body.
Gu Immortals create many different wills, sending them into treasure yellow heaven to sell items. Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's will was left behind to defend Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, this was the real use of wills.
To make a comparison, thoughts were like cleavers, while wills were like sabers. When thinking about how to cut vegetables, one would obviously use a cleaver, which chef would choose to use a saber for that?
Different professions are like separate worlds, wisdom path was the most mysterious path, Fang Yuan did not know this in the past, thus he used joyful will to think, the effect seemed reasonable, but he had, in fact, resulted in much expenditure, he was better off using joyful thoughts.
"I now have the Gu recipes of malicious thought Gu and malicious will Gu, I can mass produce these two mortal Gu. As an immortal, I have unlimited primeval essence. Activating a huge number of malicious thoughts would be the best value for me. Expending green grape immortal essence to activating delight in water and mountain Immortal Gu is simply too expensive."
In the past, Fang Yuan only had a small number of wisdom path mortal Gu in his possession, most of them were bought in treasure yellow heaven.
The thoughts produced when using these mortal Gu were simply too few, and they varied in types, they could not sustain the expenditure when deducing Immortal Gu recipes.
Thus, he had to use delight in water and mountain Immortal Gu.
But now that Fang Yuan had the Gu recipes for wisdom path mortal Gu, his first plan was to mass produce these mortal Gu. The thoughts produced by one mortal Gu were few, but with enough quantity, the numbers of the thoughts would be very significant.
Activating delight in water and mountain Immortal Gu was not only expensive, it was a waste of a precious resource.
"It is a pity that this wisdom path inheritance appeared a little late. I have already entered the next stage in my transaction with Lang Ya land spirit. If this appeared earlier, I would have been able to save a huge amount of green grape immortal essence. After saving green grape immortal essence, my costs would fall, the profits from each deal would increase and it would definitely not be twenty-six immortal essence stones like before."
Fang Yuan thought of this and felt a little regret.
He could not help it, life is like this.
Not everything would happen at the exact time you needed it to, life did not go so smoothly.
It was bound to include imperfection, dissatisfaction, and untimely events.
Like the wisdom path inheritance that Fang Yuan obtained, it was not complete, it was quite lacking.
All in all, it was already a very fortunate thing that Fang Yuan could obtain the mortal Gu recipes of malicious thought Gu and malicious will Gu. Other than these two Gu recipes, he also obtained a wisdom path killer move, called harboring malicious heart.
The Gu Immortal who sold the Gu recipe seemed to have a great need for the astral wind flying heavenly boar's corpse, and it seemed that he was a bit tight on finances as well.
If not for that, even if an ancient desolate beast's corpse was worth several hundred immortal essence stones, he would not have sold the wisdom path inheritance.
Even if this wisdom path inheritance was not complete, it was still very rare in the market.
Thus, in the following days, Fang Yuan stayed in Hu Immortal blessed land peacefully and refined malicious thought Gu non-stop.
"Even though malicious thought Gu is not a consumable Gu, it is still a mortal Gu, it has limits. Even though my primeval essence is unlimited, if I activate it too many times, after a while, these malicious thought Gu would be damaged."
With that in mind, Fang Yuan knew that his need for malicious thought Gu would be kept at a certain level in the future.
But the refinement of Gu would always take a long time. The higher the rank of the Gu worm, the longer the time it would take. Gu Immortals often spend decades, a century, or even centuries to refine one Immortal Gu.
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan decided to put in a large investment and purchase hairy men.
During this time, he had sold more batches of guts Gu, each batch earned him forty-eight immortal essence stones of profit.
He only kept fifty immortal essence stones, he spent the rest to purchase hairy men without restraint. This caused the price of hairy men in treasure yellow heaven to surge for a brief period of time.
Fang Yuan wanted the hairy men inside Lang Ya blessed land the most. These hairy men were not only well trained, they were also much better in quality than those in treasure yellow heaven, but after he asked Lang Ya land spirit, he was sternly rejected. Not only that, Lang Ya land spirit scolded him fiercely and said that Fang Yuan was not being a good friend.
Although Fang Yuan was scolded, he was happy.
Lang Ya land spirit saying he was not being a good friend meant that Lang Ya land spirit acknowledged him as a friend already, even though their friendship could not compare with Lang Ya land spirit and Inkman King Mo Tan Sang's relationship.
However, Mo Tan Sang and Lang Ya land spirit's friendship had not started in this generation, it began with a former city lord long ago in inkman city. After countless generations, inkman city had been maintaining this relationship with Lang Ya land spirit secretly. This friendship had accumulated to an immense amount through time.
"Lang Ya land spirit has just been released, and has obtained so many completed Immortal Gu recipes. According to his temperament, he is definitely going to refine Immortal Gu. But refining Immortal Gu requires a vast amount of resources, even the affluent and rich Lang Ya blessed land cannot sustain such costs. Gu Immortals cannot enter treasure yellow heaven physically, after this auction, he would have no chance to sell them. If he wants to sell the Gu Immortals' blessed lands, then to him, it is an urgent matter as well."
Fang Yuan knew that Lang Ya land spirit was already anxious deep down. When he loses his cool, he would find Fang Yuan personally.
Lang Ya land spirit's connections were too shallow, he only had Mo Tan Sang.
But Mo Tan Sang had inkman city to take care of, and he was a variant human, he had lots of restraints, how could he appear personally to sell these Gu Immortals' blessed lands?
The status of variant humans was lower than normal humans. The same applied to variant human Gu Immortals.
Seeing that the variant human Gu Immortal was selling human Gu Immortals, it would ignite the animosity of the human Gu Immortals against a common enemy.
That is to say, other than finding Fang Yuan, Lang Ya land spirit had no other candidates.
This was really not his fault, after all, a land spirit could not leave the blessed land. Furthermore, Lang Ya blessed land was a land of treasures, it was filled with wealth and would draw out people's greed, since blessed lands could be swallowed, it was Lang Ya land spirit's method of self-preservation to have minimal contact with Gu Immortals.
Lang Ya land spirit was internally anxious, this made Fang Yuan much less anxious about it.
For the next two months, Fang Yuan stayed in Hu Immortal blessed land, building another Fang Yuan stone nest, and also filling up all of the rooms in the stone nests with hairy men.
These hairy men were quite skilled in refining Gu, they were the higher quality goods in treasure yellow heaven.
High grade hairy man slaves, even though Fang Yuan could buy them, they were low in numbers. When Fang Yuan bought this group of hairy men, he not only needed to care about the quality, but also have sufficient quantity.
With the second stone nest, the production of airsac Gu would increase, which meant that the production and sales of guts Gu would also increase, each time Fang Yuan made a transaction, he would earn more immortal essence stones.
But Fang Yuan did not order all of the hairy men to refine airsac Gu for now.
The second stone nest was meant to refine malicious thought Gu!

Chapter 736: What a Huge Transaction
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
If malicious thought Gu were used to replace delight in water and mountain Immortal Gu, the quantity of the former would definitely have to be enormous.
Fang Yuan needed a lot of malicious thought Gu and not just several hundreds of them. He made an initial estimation that he required at least two thousand, by simultaneously activating them, the amount of malicious thoughts they produced could barely be sufficient for use under the light of wisdom.
Most importantly, these two thousand malicious thought Gu must be rank five.
Fang Yuan had the recipes of rank one to rank five malicious thought Gu. Rank one to rank five malicious thought Gu had similar effects in producing malicious thoughts. The only differences were the amount of thoughts they could produce in one activation and the vast difference in the quantity of primeval essence they consumed.
"Gu refinement is not easy, the higher the rank, the more difficult it is to refine. Especially rank five malicious thought Gu which cannot be obtained immediately but requires the refinement to be one step at a time, from rank one to rank two, rank two to rank three and so on. This means, in addition to a low success rate, the amount of resources consumed will be extremely large."
Fang Yuan's initial plan was to first refine two thousand malicious thought Gu. As for malicious will Gu, he did not need it at the moment, as he still had a lot of joyful will left in his mind.
Refining two thousand rank five malicious thought Gu was no doubt an enormously time-consuming project.
If Fang Yuan had not purchased hairy men and built the second stone nest, the hairy men in the first stone nest could only take on this project when there was spare time from refining airsac Gu. This meant they would at least need ten years of time to reach the target of two thousand rank five malicious thought Gu.
Now, Fang Yuan had the second stone nest and large numbers of hairy men, this time period was greatly shortened to about sixteen months.
"If I can improve the Gu recipe within this time and think of a completely new rank five Gu recipe that can directly refine rank five malicious thought Gu, then the sixteen months will be further reduced greatly." Fang Yuan thought inwardly.
His refinement path realm had already advanced to quasi-grandmaster, but he had almost no foundation in wisdom path.
However, he still had confidence.
The source of this confidence was none other than Wisdom Gu.
Relying on the light of wisdom, he could get endless inspiration. Even if his attainment level was lacking, it was not of much concern and he could forcibly make deductions.
"The might of rank nine Immortal Gu is indeed extremely terrifying." Fang Yuan was becoming increasingly aware of the power of rank nine Wisdom Gu.
Using the light of wisdom, he could deduce Immortal Gu recipes. And these Immortal Gu recipes had perplexed even the quasi-great grandmaster Lang Ya land spirit, unable to make progress.
Fang Yuan could also use the light of wisdom to deduce immortal killer moves.
Vicious Lightning Fiend comprehended the immortal killer move Lightning Deity from a remnant recipe of Blood Deity, after using up several years of time in closed cultivation.
If it were Fang Yuan and he possessed the corresponding lightning path attainment, using the Wisdom Gu, he would require at most a month to accomplish this.
Hei Lou Lan was currently trying her best to advance her mortal killer move, self strength phantom, to an immortal killer move. Unfortunately, even if she had the foundation of a mortal killer move and the strength path attainment level, she would require at least years of time to reach her target.
Were it Fang Yuan, he could probably accomplish this in half a month.
In actual fact, Fang Yuan have been intermittently deducing immortal killer moves. The immortal killer move he was deducing was none other than myriad self.
Myriad self's core was cleanse soul Immortal Gu but because it was starving, it could not be used. Fang Yuan's main goal in deducing myriad self was to replace cleanse soul Immortal Gu with other Gu worms.
Unfortunately, once this sole Immortal Gu was gone, the power of the killer move greatly fell. Even if he used a lot more mortal Gu, it could not reach the original might.
In the long history of Gu Masters, since ancient times till now, there was only one mortal killer move that had the offensive power of an Immortal Gu.
That was white bone chariot!
This killer move came from Proud Bone Demon Lord Shen Jie Ao, it was a peerless creation standing high above in both ancient and present times.
Thus, Fang Yuan had listed as one of the exchange conditions for buying a desolate beast corpse in treasure yellow heaven, to use a desolate beast corpse to exchange for rank five bone path mortal Gu like Battle Bone Wheel.
Battle Bone Wheel was one of the mortal Gu required to form the white bone chariot killer move. Fang Yuan only had one of it, which he obtained from the battlefield where Wolf King Chang Shan Yin had hidden himself in Northern Plains.
Fang Yuan's talent could not match Shen Jie Ao, if he got rid of cleanse soul Immortal Gu, myriad self would simply not have enough power.
Over the next half of a month, Fang Yuan tried hard to improve malicious thought Gu's recipe and besides this, he also did not give up in improving his immortal killer move myriad self.
In this time period, he sold another two desolate beast corpses in treasure yellow heaven.
He exchanged them for the second pair of bat desolate beast wings as well as dozens of immortal essence stones.
Fang Yuan had not wanted to use desolate beast corpses to exchange for immortal essence stones. But he only had fifty immortal essence stones remaining on him as most of his wealth had been used to purchase hairy men. Now, he was refining rank five malicious thought Gu on a large scale, which required extremely great resources. Thus, he had no choice but to exchange for immortal essence stones in order to barely be able to cope with his expenses.
With this, Fang Yuan only had three desolate beast corpses remaining on sale in treasure yellow heaven.
The immortal essence stones on him also reached a number of just over twenty. And since he was constantly making deductions, his green grape immortal essence also fell down to thirty-six beads.
Fortunately, Fang Yuan's plan of improving malicious thought Gu's recipe succeeded.
It was a completely new malicious thought Gu recipe, although it did not reach his previous expectations, it already was reduced by a number of steps. Previously, the rank five malicious thought Gu could only be refined step by step from rank one to rank two and so on. Now, the rank five malicious thought Gu only required two steps. The first step refined a half-finished malicious thought Gu while the second step completed the refinement.
Although the success rate did not improve, the procedure had shortened; the materials required decreased by a lot and time was also saved.
"According to this speed, the estimated sixteen months has been directly reduced by half. I will have two thousand rank five malicious thought Gu in just eight months. However, I am already tight on immortal essence stones. At this rate, even with the support from the transaction of guts Gu, I won't be able to make my ends meet. Do I have to slow down for the moment and let the second stone nest refine airsac Gu, raising the production of guts Gu to earn immortal essence stones?"
Just as Fang Yuan was having this thought, the good news he had been waiting a long time for had finally arrived.
"Brat, you win! I agree to your condition. We will split in a four to six ratio!" Lang Ya land spirit said furiously, his emotions in a mess.
Fang Yuan lacked money to refine mortal Gu on a large scale, while Lang Ya land spirit was refining Immortal Gu, the resources he had to expend amounted to more than hundred times what Fang Yuan required, so he lacked money even more so!
Just like Fang Yuan expected, Lang Ya land spirit did not have other channels and only had Fang Yuan to accomplish this task.
Thus, he had no choice but to accept, even though he knew this was an extremely large loss.
Fang Yuan also did not want to push his luck; such a sharing of profits was already the limit of the land spirit. If he did not accept this and angered Lang Ya land spirit, there would not only be no transaction, even the relationship he had built with much difficulty would collapse.
Northern Plains, Bai Zu grotto-heaven.
The hall was lit with bright lights, beautiful women were dancing without rest; fine wine and delicacies were presented at the table in a row.
"Eat this, I personally like this dish very much, it is made of the rank five Gu, Flying Vajra Centipedes, which are roasted over a charcoal fire, making its flesh delicious and tender." Heavenly Lord Bai Zu said with light laughter from the main seat, inviting the two Gu Immortals in the hall.
The two Gu Immortals were none other than Qin Bai Sheng and Fairy Li Shan.
Although the dishes were made by others, the two immortals had no misgivings. Qin Bai Sheng picked up a long piece of meat and threw it in his mouth.
He chewed it loudly, his lips shone with oily luster. He raised his thumb in praise: "Indeed a delicacy! Not bad, not bad."
Heavenly Lord Bai Zu laughed loudly before looking at Fairy Li Shan: "I wonder how fairy finds it?"
Fairy Li Shan's eating manner was much more elegant than Qin Bai Sheng; she took a few bites then appreciated the taste before smiling: "It is delicious, not only is there the smell of coal, there is also a nice chewy taste with a creamy and refreshing texture. It truly is a masterpiece."
Heavenly Lord Bai Zu laughed heartily with extreme satisfaction: "I won't conceal it from you two, I thought painstakingly and tested for eight days and eight nights to create this dish. This is one of my most satisfying works during this year."
Heavenly Lord Bai Zu was a rank eight Gu Immortal and a lone cultivator. He had a hobby which was famous throughout the world of Northern Plains' Gu Immortals; he liked to cook gourmet food and create new fine dishes.
"In this visit, we not only succeeded in inviting Heavenly Lord to participate in the auction, but also tasted such a delicacy, it is truly our honor." Qin Bai Sheng spoke at an appropriate time.
"I shall engrave Heavenly Lord's hospitality in my heart. Now, we have already signed an alliance treaty, please forgive Li Shan for not being able to stay longer." Fairy Li Shan said.
"Hehehe." Heavenly Lord Bai Zu nodded while all smiles, "Good. There are only a few rank eight seniors in Northern Plains. You two have already invited me, as well as Yao Huang, Five Elements Grandmaster and Old Ancestor Xue Hu. If only Prince Feng Xian is left out, it won't be good."
"Heavenly Lord has penetrating insight, we were going to invite Prince Feng Xian."
"Go, go. Organize this auction properly, this old man has great expectations."
Qin Bai Sheng and Fairy Li Shan left Bai Zu grotto-heaven, then hurried towards the southeast direction.
Midway, Fairy Li Shan's expression suddenly changed. In her immortal aperture, Fang Yuan's message had arrived through moving perspective cup Gu.
Fairy Li Shan slowly came to a halt.
Qin Bai Sheng asked curiously: "Fairy, why are you stopping?"
Fairy Li Shan gave a light smile: "There is a person I want to introduce to you."
"Eh?" Qin Bai Sheng's interest rose.
At this moment, Fang Yuan came out of Fairy Li Shan's immortal aperture, he quickly scanned his surroundings before looking at Qin Bai Sheng: "Lord Qin, your mighty name has long since resounded in my ears."
Qin Bai Sheng was a rank seven Gu Immortal with outstanding battle strength at the level of Shi Lei. Right now, as he saw Fang Yuan was only an immortal zombie with the lowest cultivation of rank six, his interest that had been roused just before rapidly disappeared.
However, remembering Fang Yuan had directly come out of Fairy Li Shan's immortal aperture, it could be seen that Fang Yuan's relationship with Fairy Li Shan was not shallow. Qin Bai Sheng did not become arrogant, and only nodded and smiled lightly: "You flatter me, you are?"
"My name is Sha Huang, I have a large transaction that I want to discuss with Lord Qin." Fang Yuan smiled.
"What large transaction?"
When Fang Yuan spoke of the matter of selling Gu Immortals' blessed lands, Qin Bai Sheng and Fairy Li Shan both turned pale.
In the letter from the moving perspective cup Gu, Fang Yuan had not explained things clearly and only said he wanted to participate in the auction.
Fairy Li Shan was endlessly shocked: "Sha Huang, you really have blessed lands of Gu Immortals to sell?"
"Haha, they are not mine, I am only running an errand." Fang Yuan smiled. He and Fairy Li Shan were under the Snowy Mountain Alliance, so he must speak the truth.
However, this indeed was the truth, just that he had only said part of it. He naturally would not say that he, this errand boy, had more of a share of the profits than the owner.
Qin Bai Sheng's mood calmed down only then, as he deduced that Fang Yuan was a subordinate of some great person. In the open, Northern Plains had five rank eight Gu Immortals, but it was rumored there were some old monsters who were apparently still alive.
Immediately, Qin Bai Sheng reevaluated Fang Yuan; he was still smiling, but his tone had a slight change now: "It is indeed a huge transaction. Brother, since you think highly of me and have confidence in this auction, then how could I refuse?"
"Many thanks to Lord Qin for making an exception." Fang Yuan's smile turned even bigger.
"What exception, honestly speaking, I am just glad it was not too late. Gu Immortals' blessed lands, tsk tsk, this will definitely heighten the climax of the auction. Haha, this auction I am holding will definitely be one of the few grand auctions over several hundred years in Northern Plains!"
Qin Bai Sheng laughed loudly and passionately patted this small rank six immortal zombie, Fang Yuan's shoulder: "Honestly, I am a boorish person! Lord Qin is a strange way to address me, brother, if you think I am worthy, then even if I am older by some years, how about calling me brother."
Qin Bai Sheng was already over seven hundred years old, he was indeed older than Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan directly cupped his fists with a smile: "Brother Qin."
"Haha, Brother Sha." Qin Bai Sheng returned the greeting.

Chapter 737: Joining Zombie Alliance
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Qin Bai Sheng was quite the character.
His battle strength was on par with Immortal Monkey King Shi Lei, but he did not have any arrogant attitude. Not only that, when he conversed with Fang Yuan, he kept a cool demeanor and was very amicable, not only did he laugh grandly, he even gave people a feeling that he was very open-minded.
This time, Fang Yuan had obviously appeared under the disguise of the mortal killer move unfamiliar face.
He had to conceal himself.
Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun were in the hands of Qin Bai Sheng, if they had revealed the details or had their souls searched, Qin Bai Sheng would have known about Fang Yuan's eight arm heavenly zombie form already.
Be it Hei Lou Lan, Tai Bai Yun Sheng or Fang Yuan's eight arm heavenly zombie figure, they could not appear openly in Northern Plains.
Because the three of them were key surviving members of the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building incident.
Right now was a sensitive time.
Ever since Northern Plains' number one wisdom path Gu Immortal, Dong Fang Chang Fan, deduced before his death that the culprit was not a person from Northern Plains and was an outsider, Northern Plains had formed an attitude of resisting a common enemy.
Countless forces and experts wanted to take revenge. Especially the ten or so super forces in Northern Plains, their benefits were heavily affected. They wanted to slaughter the culprit, to chop them into pieces and slice their skin and bones, to torture them for endless years to appease their hatred!
Once Fang Yuan and the others showed up, even if their crimes were not exposed, it would sure to stir great attention and Northern Plains' Gu Immortals would immediately make their moves, wanting to use Fang Yuan and the others as the key to obtaining more inside information.
Thus, Fang Yuan came here using the fake name of Sha Huang, at the same time, his eight monstrous arms turned into ordinary zombie shoulders, his terrifying six meter tall body had turned into that of a normal person's build, or even shorter. The fangs in his mouth were also completely retracted, he no longer looked ruthless but instead gave off a weak and powerless feeling.
Of course, Fang Yuan had informed Fairy Li Shan already regarding his disguise in his letter. When they established the Snowy Mountain Alliance earlier, they had considered such a situation, thus, this was Fairy Li Shan and Fang Yuan collaborating to deceive outsiders, he did not go against their agreement at all.
But even if Fang Yuan was so insignificant, an immortal zombie with stale cultivation and a grim future, Qin Bai Sheng did not look down on him at all, he talked with Fang Yuan on equal terms, in fact when they conversed, he spoke with an affectionate tone.
Qin Bai Sheng's attitude made Fang Yuan praise him inwardly: "This person is really quite a character, no wonder he could turn this around and forcefully change this situation of being attacked by Northern Plains' Gu Immortals to one that benefits him greatly."
Qin Bai Sheng was also thinking: "This small rank six immortal zombie has an ordinary appearance, but even after I probed him for so long, he has not slipped and exposed anything. Even now, I do not know his origin and background, while he can still talk to me, Qin Bai Sheng, calmly and normally, he is not simple, not simple,"
Fairy Li Shan was at the side, squinting as she smiled, watching Fang Yuan and Qin Bai Sheng talk.
Fairy Li Shan saw that they were talking with more enthusiasm as she laughed lightly: "The way you two are talking, it is a shame that you have only met now, you actually left me in a corner, you look like long lost brothers who had just met each other."
"I am ashamed." Fang Yuan quickly said.
Qin Bai Sheng heard this and his eyes brightened up: "Fairy said it well, that was fabulous! Brother Sha and I feel like old friends, we really hit it off, why don't we become sworn brothers. With Fairy's mountain pledge Gu, from now on, as long as I have meat to eat, I will not let little brother starve!"
Fairy Li Shan was shocked, she did not expect Qin Bai Sheng to be serious.
After the shock, she flustered: "Is Qin Bai Sheng's discernment superior to mine, he has already seen through Fang Yuan's disguise?"
Fang Yuan gasped, immediately showing an expression like that of a 'youngster with poorly concealed temptation': "I am not worthy, I am not worthy."
"Oh, what is brother saying, there is no such thing as worthiness. This is fate! Unless… even though brother is showing this on the surface, you actually look down on me, a person without a force?" Qin Bai Sheng's eyes shined brightly, he looked at Fang Yuan tightly, showing a half-smiling expression.
"Oh no, my unfamiliar face is only a mortal killer move, Qin Bai Sheng has felt something amiss already. It boils down to the excessive strength that I displayed, I actually had Gu Immortal prisoners and was going to sell Gu Immortals' blessed lands. Although Qin Bai Sheng is a lone cultivator, he is skilled at gathering allied forces and is organizing an auction, thus he wants to use me to latch onto the force behind me."
"Of course, there is a possibility that he suspects that I am the culprit who toppled Eighty-Eight True Yang Building. No matter which one it is, I can see the troublesome and powerful methods of this person."
These thoughts flashed by in Fang Yuan's head quickly, as he gave a bitter smile: "To speak the truth, I really hit it off with brother Qin, but I am a small character, I cannot decide this, I am not like brother Qin and Fairy Li Shan who are free. The matter of becoming sworn brothers, it is not that I do not want to, but I cannot."
Of course they could not, once they did, making an oath before the mountain pledge Gu, Fang Yuan would be at his mercy.
The most simple way was for Qin Bai Sheng to suggest that brothers cannot lie to each other.
What can Fang Yuan do then? How could he reject him?
"So that is the case. Brother has his difficulties, I understand. Not only do I understand, I can even help you, brother." Qin Bai Sheng patted his chest, while speaking, he still continued to try probing Fang Yuan's background.
Fang Yuan cupped his fists to thank him, before turning around and looking at Fairy Li Shan: "Fairy, I came here this time with another task, that is to borrow and make use of your mountain pledge Gu."
"This…" Fairy Li Shan looked at Qin Bai Sheng, hesitatingly saying: "Sha Huang, you might not know, but we are going to find Prince Feng Xian to invite him to attend the auction. Our time is tight, I am not sure if Prince Feng Xian will be angry. After all, he is the last person we are visiting."
Qin Bai Sheng said instead: "Prince Feng Xian is a model of the righteous path, how can he be so small-minded? Anyway, we are going to take some time in flying there, it is not a problem to lend it to brother Sha Huang."
"It's fine, I am not in a rush." Fang Yuan cupped his fist: "In that case, Fairy and brother Qin should go first, we will split up here."
"Why doesn't brother Sha Huang come with us? It is a rare opportunity to be able to meet Prince Feng Xian." Qin Bai Sheng invited.
How could Fang Yuan dare to go to a rank eight Gu Immortal? Especially when this Prince Feng Xian had an investigative Immortal Gu that was at least rank seven.
Even though unfamiliar face came from Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable, it was just a mortal killer move, in front of an investigative Immortal Gu, it was insufficient.
Fang Yuan rejected Qin Bai Sheng's invitation and watched them fly away, as their figures vanished into the sky, his expression turned cold.
He had finally learned how troublesome Qin Bai Sheng was to deal with.
Compared to the brutish Shi Lei, this person had a exquisite mind, who knew how many thoughts were in his head, while he could appear on the surface to be grand and full of passion, as if it came from the bottom of his heart.
Just this acting ability alone was on par with Fang Yuan.
If not for Fang Yuan being a reborn old monster, he might not be able to see Qin Bai Sheng's true colors.
"This person is a lone cultivator, yet he was able to make a network of alliances and influence the entire world of Northern Plains' Gu Immortals, his methods were truly incredible, he has some real skill. Unfortunately, his luck in my previous life was bad, just when Blood Hunter came out of seclusion, he unfortunately met with and engaged in fierce battle, succumbing to that monster's methods." Fang Yuan recalled as he turned around, flying towards another direction.
Not long later, he met with a group of azure ostriches.
This bird had a swollen back, like that of a camel, it had azure feathers and its body was as strong as a grown man. Often gathering in groups, they were the overlords of the sky.
This group of azure ostriches were not few in numbers, they were a myriad beast group.
Fang Yuan did not care about them, he continued to fly forwards.
The azure ostriches found the 'prey' Fang Yuan and were very excited, they first screeched before getting close to him, but the moment they got close to him and sensed his immortal zombie aura, they ran away in fear.
All living beings had survival instincts in them to avoid danger, even beasts and birds had this insight and would not send themselves to death.
If this had been Fang Yuan when he stepped into Northern Plains for the first time in his previous life, if he met the azure ostrich group, he would need to dig a hole and bury himself to avoid them.
But now, even without doing anything, he had chased this group of azure ostriches away.
"Even though I became an immortal zombie, compared to my previous life's achievements, my cultivation level has greatly exceeded what I had been during this time. In my previous life, at this point, Qing Mao mountain had been destroyed by Bai Ning Bing's self-detonation, because clans are united by bloodline, they spurn outsiders. Before I became a lone demonic cultivator, I joined a caravan and was often at the front lines, trying to earn a living like this."
In his previous life, Fang Yuan had moved around Southern Border, Western Desert, Eastern Sea for over three hundred years before becoming a rank five Gu Master in Central Continent.
But now, only decades had passed and Fang Yuan was already an immortal, even though he was an immortal zombie, his battle strength was already upper-tier among rank six Gu Immortals.
Firstly, the rebirth advantage he had was huge. Secondly, Fang Yuan took part in many dangerous situations, the higher the risks, the greater his rewards.
"But as time passes, the influence of my rebirth would become bigger and bigger. This auction had never happened in my previous life. Hopefully, when I join Northern Plains Zombie Alliance this time, there will be fewer accidents and my plans would go smoothly."
Having unfamiliar face, Fang Yuan decided to try joining Zombie Alliance.
Plans could not keep up with changes.
His original plan was to first take dark limit Immortal Gu. But Xue Song Zi and Hei Cheng's incident had inadvertently served as an alert, afterwards, Fairy Jiang Yu had disappeared mysteriously, even Fairy Li Shan could not find her.
He also had another plan, to kill Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun. But now that they were captured by Qin Bai Sheng, they were watched by almost all of the Gu Immortals in Northern Plains, how could Fang Yuan kill them now?
After these two plans succeeded, his third plan was to join Zombie Alliance. But with the current situation, Fang Yuan had insufficient control of the circumstances, he had to take a risk and join Zombie Alliance, even if it was dangerous.
As he flew, Fang Yuan considered the plan for joining Zombie Alliance again.
Along the way, he met many bird groups, but they were all repelled by Fang Yuan's immortal zombie aura. Only once, he met a desolate beast flying snake. Fang Yuan did not want to waste time and avoided it.
Although Northern Plains was huge, having five billion square kilometers of surface area, ten times that of Earth, but Fang Yuan's current location was not far from his destination. After half a day, he saw a mountain on the horizon.
It was Ku Mu mountain.

Chapter 738: Old Earth Wood, Immortal Zombie Gu Ye
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ku Mu mountain, rather than a mountain, it looked more like a giant dead wooden tree that extended into the clouds.
The name of the wood was old earth.
Old earth wood had a long lifespan, this particular pillar of old earth wood had more than a million years of history. From Reckless Savage Demon Venerable's era, to Red Lotus Demon Venerable, Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable, Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, and then to Spectral Soul Demon Venerable and Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable. Even after Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable died, it was still alive.
When it had lush leaves, the greenery covered the entire sky, and it produced countless fresh fruits. On its strong branches, unique tree farms could be created.
During its golden years, it was usually owned by the strongest Gu Immortals or the most powerful forces in Northern Plains.
But as the river of time continued to flow, the lush green leaves wilted, its strong trunk decayed, its glorious days were over, and it became a gloomy and silent structure.
Long ago, countless forces had fought over it, fighting with their lives or even dying due to the old earth wood, but eventually, its late years were lonely. The barren tree branches could only create a shade over a small area, attempting to pitiful recreate its former glory.
Right now, the old earth wood tree's main trunk was mostly dead, only a small portion still had a little bit of life left.
From a mystical treasure that everyone was after, to a monument that nobody visits, it was like an aged giant, bending its back and sitting on the ground calmly, awaiting the end of its life.
Fang Yuan did not come here to admire the old earth wood tree, he was here for the immortal zombie who was living on top of the old earth wood.
This immortal zombie was a wood path Gu Immortal during his life, his name was Gu Ye. If Fang Yuan wanted to join Northern Plains Zombie Alliance, he would need an immortal zombie's recommendation.
Fang Yuan had already gotten the details of Northern Plains Zombie Alliance from Fairy Li Shan. The reason why he chose Gu Ye was not because this person was special, but because he was the closest.
As he got close to the old earth wood tree, Fang Yuan slowed his speed, but he did not see Gu Ye appearing.
He frowned slightly, this Gu Ye's alertness was simply too terrible.
Finally, when he arrived at the old earth wood tree, Fang Yuan shouted: "Is Old Earth City Lord around? My name is Sha Huang and I am here to visit."
His voice echoed through the old earth wood tree, causing the wilted leaves to scatter onto the ground. From a deep part of the old earth wood, a figure came out: "Why are there more people?! Do you really think I, Gu Ye, am easy to bully?"
His tone was filled with anger and helplessness.
Gu Ye appeared before Fang Yuan.
He was yellowish in color, tall and skinny, resembling the old earth wood. There were wooden markings on his skin, it was an immortal zombie body that resembled dead wood.
Seeing Fang Yuan, Gu Ye was stunned, the anger vanished on his face as he said hesitantly: "Sir is?"
"I am Sha Huang, I have turned into an immortal zombie recently without much choice. I wanted to join Northern Plains Zombie Alliance, I wonder if Old Earth City Lord may give me a recommendation?" Fang Yuan cupped his fists as he expressed his intention directly.
"Oh, you are a newcomer who wants to join Zombie Alliance. A pleasure to meet you." Gu Ye's expression changed, he quickly greeted back while smiling: "I thought it was… forget it, let's not talk about it. We are all in the same boat, please come in."
Fang Yuan slowly flew up, under Gu Ye's lead, they traveled past many rotten leaves and branches, arriving at a deep part of the branches of the old earth wood tree.
This was a city.
It was completely built on the old earth wood branches, it resembled a carved wooden city, it was quite unique.
Countless wooden houses were lined up, some were tall while some were short, not only were there common squares, there were towers and city walls, all sorts of streets and paths were interconnected like blood vessels, moving along the countless branches.
There were also all sorts of vine ladders, either drooping or hanging from one branch to another.
It was a pity that this wooden city was half destroyed, large numbers of houses had collapsed. The yellow vine ladders were no longer green, they could not sustain any weight. When the cold winds blew, the vines might break, landing on the branches and causing a loud sound.
"This is Old Earth City. Although it is like this, the atmosphere still remains. Back in the day, this was a popular area and countless famous characters gathered here. This was once the heart of Northern Plains." Fang Yuan looked around as he sighed casually.
"The city is dead, there is nothing left. Brother Sha is calling me Old Earth City Lord, but that title is very hollow now." Gu Ye laughed bitterly at the side: "To speak the truth, if not for this place still producing a wood path resource called wilted essence, who would care about it?"
Fang Yuan nodded, agreeing: "That is indeed the case."
Gu Ye sighed deeply: "Sigh, if I knew that this place was so barren, I would not have accepted this mission from Zombie Alliance. But the duration of my mission is almost over, I can leave this painful place already. Brother, look at my pathetic state and learn from it. When you enter Zombie Alliance, do not choose the mission of guarding old earth wood."
Fang Yuan had already guessed that Gu Ye was injured, seeing him say this, he placed his gaze naturally on his face.
Gu Ye's face was swollen, it looked like a pink peach was growing on one side of his cheeks. The other side of his face was caved in, filled with many cracks. Looking at him, his entire head was in a strange shape, like a deformed melon.
Not only that, there was a long scar on his chest.
Although the scar was shallow, the injury was big. There was poisonous gas that were dark purple in color spiralling it.
"Even if brother Gu didn't mention it, I was going to ask. Where did you get your injuries from?" Fang Yuan asked.
"Sigh, brother. Seeing that you have just turned into an immortal zombie, you still do not know the pain of immortal zombies…" Gu Ye sighed pitifully, he was about to start his story when there was a loud sound outside, the entire old earth wood tree shook intensely as wilted leaves flew, even the rotting branches that seemed like tall pillars collapsed, they came crashing down.
Gu Ye's expression changed.
Next, Fang Yuan heard someone shouting from outside: "Gu Ye, come out now, this Divine Lord is here to make a transaction with you!"
Gu Ye's expression became uglier, his eyes were spewing fire as he gritted his teeth: "Divine Lord Tian Du again!"
Bam!
Another loud bang.
Old earth wood shook again, leaves fell from the branches like a huge rain. The beautiful wooden houses collapsed, causing dust and smoke to rise.
Outside, there was another Gu Immortal shouting: "Gu Ye right? Come out now, I am Shi Hou, come out, I have a matter to discuss with you."
Saying so, there was another loud bang, causing a distressing noise in the old earth wood.
Looking at their actions, they were not going to give up until Gu Ye showed up.
Gu Ye's expression was very ugly, he clenched his fists as he took a few deep breaths, smiling forcibly at Fang Yuan: "Brother Sha, take a seat first, I will be back shortly."
"No worry, I will go with you." Fang Yuan said.
Gu Ye showed a touched expression as he cupped his fists, thanking sincerely: "Then I will thank brother in advance."
The two walked out of the old earth wood tree, seeing the two rank six Gu Immortals in the sky.
One had a strong muscular body, his skin was bronze in color as lightning coiled around his body, his name was Divine Lord Tian Du.
The other had messy hair, he looked like a brute carrying a skull, it was Shi Hou.
Seeing Fang Yuan, Divine Lord Tian Du was stunned before laughing: "To think that Gu Ye found a helper. But it is a pity, you found an immortal zombie."
In his speech, he did not hide the disdain towards immortal zombies.
"You!" Gu Ye flew into a rage, about to speak.
Divine Lord Tian Du waved his hand, saying impatiently: "I will not talk trash with you, I know that you have some wilted essence with you, my friend has an immortal essence stone, he will buy a hundred and fifty kilograms of wilted essence from you."
"One immortal essence stone for one hundred and fifty kilograms of wilted essence, why don't you just rob us instead?!" Gu Ye was stomping his feet in anger, shouting.
"Robbing is possible too, but seeing that you are Divine Lord's friend, I wanted to do him a favor." Shi Hou snickered, his attitude was very arrogant, as if Gu Ye was helpless against him.
"You two are shameless, you are basically bandits!" Gu Ye stared with wide opened eyes, his lungs were about to explode.
He did not attack in the end.
He was furious, but also extremely helpless.
The other party were two rank six Gu Immortals, but he was only a rank six immortal zombie, his blessed land was dead and he only had over a dozen immortal essence stones. Even though he would fight with them, what would he do after that?
Ignoring the question of whether he could win, even if he won, he would expend a lot of green grape immortal essence, without the blessed land's replenishment, he could only use immortal essence stones to replenish it.
After one battle, he would go bankrupt.
Gu Ye was full of worries, he looked at Fang Yuan beside him.
Actually, Divine Lord Tian Du and Shi Hou were also looking at Fang Yuan. Divine Lord Tian Du had extorted Gu Ye many times already, he knew about Gu Ye's background, but he did not know anything about Fang Yuan.
Furthermore, it seemed like Fang Yuan was Gu Ye's helper.
But why would Fang Yuan help Gu Ye for no good reason?
His gaze flickered, he showed a hesitant expression as he asked Gu Ye in a weak tone: "Brother Gu, what is going on? Who is the other party, such absurd demands, why isn't the Zombie Alliance interfering?"
Seeing Fang Yuan's hesitation, Gu Ye lost all hope, he sighed deeply: "The Zombie Alliance can interfere, but I cannot afford it. It was better when leader was around, but now… sigh! Forget it, after you join the Zombie Alliance, you will learn about it, brother."
"Is that so…" Fang Yuan's face showed a perfect mix of shock, disappointment, and even worry towards the future.
Hearing their conversation, Divine Lord Tian Du and Shi Hou could see the joy in each other's faces.
"So this newly emerged immortal zombie wants to join the Zombie Alliance."
"We are going to successful extort him again!"
The two transmitted.
As they expected, Gu Ye was helpless but to accept their demands. Eventually, he sold one hundred and fifty kilograms of wilted essence for one immortal essence stone.
"Hahaha, this was a pleasant business deal!"
"Gu Ye, when you ask for help next time, at least invite a living person."
The two left while laughing loudly.
"Sigh, this rotten place, I do not want to stay here for even one more second." Gu Ye showed disappointment, his head was sinking even lower now.

Chapter 739: Dark Flow Giant City
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Fang Yuan watched as Divine Lord Tian Du and Shi Hou disappeared into the horizon, before retracting his gaze, looking at the immortal zombie Gu Ye beside him with a slightly flickering gaze.
With a trembling and hesitant voice, he said: "Brother Gu… may I ask… how many times has this happened?"
Gu Ye restrained his grieving expression, and patted Fang Yuan's shoulder, comforting him on the contrary: "Not too many. It is just that with the nearing of Qin Bai Sheng's auction, some shameless scumbags are trying everything they can to get the capital to participate in this level of grand event."
Fang Yuan had not helped him, but Gu Ye did not blame him. He did not have any hope, thus his disappointment and grief had no relation to Fang Yuan.
With this, even though they had just met each other, Gu Ye was even more certain that Fang Yuan's situation was similar to his and even slightly worse, as a fallen Gu Immortal who had helplessly turned to becoming an immortal zombie.
"But this behavior is too ugly." Fang Yuan pretended to be indignant.
This expression looked like his true feelings in Gu Ye's eyes.
"At least there is something to cover the humiliation." Gu Ye looked at the immortal essence stone on his hand with irony.
This immortal essence stone was the 'price' Shi Hou and Divine Lord Tian Du had paid for one hundred and fifty kilograms of wilted essence.
He shook the immortal essence stone: "Look, Divine Lord Tian Du and Shi Hou might be strong, but they still are apprehensive of Zombie Alliance behind us and had to give us face in this way."
"Could it be… could it be that Zombie Alliance's face is only worth one immortal essence stone?" Fang Yuan expression was aghast, as he made an inquiry.
Gu Ye laughed.
His laughter was bitter, mixed with helplessness, sadness and grief.
He looked at Fang Yuan, and felt he was looking at himself back when he had just joined Zombie Alliance.
He patted Fang Yuan's shoulder again: "Brother Sha, you have reached this point and also know the hardships and disadvantages of immortal zombie. Blessed lands of us immortal zombies are already dead and cannot be operated, and cannot produce immortal essence. If I have to say it bluntly, we are on our dying breaths. Thus, we have to rely on external resources even more than those living Gu Immortals."
"You also might have already heard about it, Zombie Alliance indeed has many immortal zombies like you. But if you want to rely on these people as support and to help maintain your face, you have to pay the price." Gu Ye's words had deep implications.
"Price?" Fang Yuan pretended to not understand.
"Yes. If you want to request a rank six immortal zombie to help you, you need two immortal essence stones, and this is only the initial price, the concrete amount will depend on how intense the fight is. If you want to request a rank seven immortal zombie, you need twenty immortal essence stones. Similarly, this price is only the initial price. If you have sufficient immortal essence stones, you can even request the whole of Zombie Alliance to support you. But if you don't have money or don't want to pay the price, then your face can only be worth this much."
When Gu Ye said this, he slightly raised that immortal essence stone and intentionally shook it.
Blessed lands of immortal zombies were already dead, it was hard to engage in business to generate income and they had to rely on more external resources; this made immortal zombies have to meticulously plan and often choose to endure as opposed to fight. Only like this could they barely maintain their livelihoods.
Like with Fang Yuan previously, he could not produce green grape immortal essence by himself and could only use immortal essence stones to substitute. The pressure was too high; in that intense battle with Hei Cheng, his finances almost collapsed and fell into a plight again.
Fortunately, Fang Yuan had Hu Immortal blessed land, which reduced the significance of his immortal aperture being dead.
What was even more fortunate was that he had wisdom Gu's help. And there were extremely large benefits to using the light of wisdom with an immortal zombie body.
First was the Immortal Gu recipe transactions with Lang Ya land spirit, which allowed Fang Yuan to get out of the mire. Then with the help of the light of wisdom, he was able to innovate airsac Gu and engage in the guts Gu business, making Immortal Crane Sect compromise, and greatly improving his entire living environment.
'If I didn't have these, my situation might be extremely dismal just like Gu Ye's.' Fang Yuan sighed inwardly, while on the surface he showed a look of realization and took a step back, bowing and cupping his fists: "Brother Gu Ye, I have received your teachings."
Gu Ye shook his head: "Even without me speaking of these truths, you would understand it for yourself after some time. No need for thanks. Come, I will bring you to Zombie Alliance."
Fang Yuan followed Gu Ye to the depths of the old earth wood branches at that exquisite wood city again.
Gu Ye flew ahead to a large plaza in the center of the wood city.
The plaza was in ruins, from the damaged floor tiles to the surrounding destroyed flower beds and dried up fountain; one might be able to only get a glimpse of its past prosperity.
Gu Ye and Fang Yuan stood in the center of the plaza.
"Rise." Gu Ye mobilized his primeval essence, the plaza's surface instantly brightened.
The thick and solid floor became translucent like a giant jade.
The green jade light circulated around, shadows of countless Gu worms fluttered within the light.
At the same time, large numbers of mortal Gu flew out of Gu Ye's body, mostly being rank five space path Gu and rank four wood path Gu. These Gu worms flew above Fang Yuan and started to rapidly revolve like a hurricane, in the dusky surroundings, rays of brilliant light gradually appeared.
Gu Ye continued to mobilize his primeval essence unceasingly, these flowing lights rapidly increased in number and soon created a vast bluish-green patch.
Untold numbers of mortal Gu, under some wondrous rhythm, converged their powers, overlaying on top of one another and mutually amplifying themselves, finally forming a might display.
"This is a top tier mortal killer move our Zombie Alliance researched, green crystal hero's path. It can span across hundreds of thousands of li, directly connecting the old earth wood and Zombie Alliance's garrison. You know us immortal zombies are Gu Immortals as well, our bodies are filled with dao marks, thus normal methods are unable to transport us." Gu Ye explained at the appropriate moment.
Fang Yuan nodded.
Immortal zombies might have weaker battle strength causing their status to lower, and their thoughts to slow down, but their accumulations and foundations still remained for the most part.
Especially when immortal zombies are in a similar situation, they could cast aside prejudices unlike normal Gu Immortals and cooperate with each other. Thus, being able to research a peak tier mortal killer move was not strange.
Gu Ye continued: "I looked after the myriad poison date tree in Zombie Alliance for two years before I was able to get enough contribution points to exchange for this Green Crystal Hero's Path. Ah, right, you might be confused. Brother Sha, if you choose tasks which needs you to go outside, Zombie Alliance's prerequisite is that you have to grasp the killer move Green Crystal Hero's Path. Only with this can you reach Zombie Alliance at any time."
They did not have Fixed Immortal Travel, did not have Stargate and also did not have moving perspective cup Gu.
Normal Gu Immortals could use connecting heaven Gu and hole earth Gu; but immortal zombies could not because of their dead apertures.
Connecting heaven Gu and hole earth Gu were only mortal Gu, the reason they could connect between blessed lands or grotto-heavens was because the two small worlds involved would silently consume heavenly power. And an immortal zombie's blessed land or grotto-heaven was already dead, and was unable to expend heavenly power.
To set up connecting heaven Gu and hole earth Gu required the consent of both sides. Only with this, the immortal apertures could use heavenly power. If they were secretly set up, they would not be able to connect because of the absence of heavenly power.
Connecting heaven Gu and hole earth Gu also could not be used if they were set up outside in the five regions.
"Ah, so green crystal hero's path was this important!" Hearing Gu Ye explain again, Fang Yuan showed an appropriately admiring and envious look.
Gu Ye caught Fang Yuan's expression and felt refreshed, the grief from the forceful transaction earlier eased up by a lot.
Happiness often comes from comparison.
Instantly, Gu Ye felt Fang Yuan was much more pleasing to the eyes.
A thick green light soared to the skies from the dense dried yellow old earth branches and leaves.
After a while, in Dark Flow City, over a hundred thousand li away, on the plaza in the southeast section, a dark green light suddenly fell down.
The light engulfed the plaza, dying the surroundings green. Wind surged, and the hanging iron lanterns in the plaza constantly shook and squeaked.
The light quickly disappeared, in the originally empty plaza appeared Gu Ye and Fang Yuan.
"Let's go, we should not stay here for long." Gu Ye composed himself and walked forward, with Fang Yuan closely following behind.
This giant city was named Dark Flow; it was pitch black, resembling a giant beast sprawled on the ground.
The sun was setting to the west and there was still a source of light.
However, every tile and brick of the giant Dark Flow City emitted a dense darkness that dyed the surroundings black.
Especially, the closer one got to the center of Dark Flow Giant City, the denser this darkness became.
Fang Yuan and Gu Ye walked ahead, but saw no humans in their path. The long path had street lamps erected every few hundred steps. But these street lamps let out weak dusky yellow light which only lit some dozens of steps, leaving behind long stretches of darkness in between the gaps of the street lamps, making the darkness of the giant city even more conspicuous.
The large Dark Flow City felt like an abandoned city.
However, there were still some faint clamoring noises coming from below the giant city.
"This is the main headquarters of our Zombie Alliance in Northern Plains, and it is almost as large as a mountain. It is divided into seven floors; the lower five floors are the residences of mortal Gu Masters and are very bustling and clamorous. One floor above is where immortal zombies and people with some relation to us reside. The highest floor has the conference hall where three rank seven immortal zombies are stationed throughout the year." Gu Ye gave an appropriate explanation.
Fang Yuan nodded without being surprised.
Zombie Alliance was not an organization that was only formed from immortal level members, but also covered mortal Gu Masters.
These Gu Masters, for the most part, made use of dark path; raising zombies, commanding zombies and even transforming into zombies.
The two walked for a while, arriving in front of a large hall without seeing anyone in the way.
Tall stone statues stood on either side of the large hall, they were taller and bulkier than even Fang Yuan's eight arm immortal zombie physique.
Fang Yuan carefully observed them. His eyes narrowed slightly as he discovered these stone statues were not as simple as they looked.
"You find it strange too? This is Yin Liu Gong's immortal killer move Stone Casket, inside them are not ordinary zombies but immortal zombies." Gu Ye said this, then said in a lower voice, "Yin Liu Gong is one of the experts of our Zombie Alliance. When the city lord left Northern Plains, they assigned three deputy city lords; he is one them and can command immortal zombies to fight for him."
"Yin Liu Gong…" Fang Yuan silently engraved this name to his mind.
This name was not in his previous life's memories. But just based on the fact Yin Liu Gong could command immortal zombies to fight, he needed to be attached importance.
"In my previous life, my rise was a matter that occurred three to four hundred years later. And in this period of time, it was not that no outstanding characters emerged, but due to all sorts of reasons, they were washed away by the river of time." Fang Yuan was cautious, with no hint of carelessness.
"Come and push the door." Gu Ye suddenly moved to the side, "So long as you can open this large door, you will have the qualifications to join Zombie Alliance."
Fang Yuan quietly put his two arms on the door and softly pushed, opening the door by a sliver.
Instantly, over twenty sharp, gloomy or dull gazes followed the crack and shot towards Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan intentionally changed his expression slightly, then he took a deep breath and fiercely pushed open the door completely.
Gu Ye laughed heartily while patting Fang Yuan's shoulder: "Being able to push open this large door means you are a person of Northern Plains. Come, your timing is really exquisite, our Zombie Alliance's meeting is held today!"

Chapter 740: Nine Heavens Fragment
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Central Continent.
White egrets flew in the sky, the weather was pleasant today.
Three rank seven Gu Immortals who came from Combat Immortal Sect had gathered within this sky.
"According to Immortal Monkey King's request for help, it should be this place." Qian Zhu Xian looked around as he said.
He was dressed in a green robe, he had a slim figure and his eyes were dark like an abyss, as if incapable of being alarmed.
"Although this place looks ordinary, it is evident that the grotto-heaven opening that was stated in the letter has closed up. But to check if it is really this place, we will need Divine Mother's help." Valley Lord Ming He, who was dressed in a white robe, looked over.
Beside him was a female Gu Immortal.
Beautiful and elegant, she was dressed in a golden robe and radiated majesty and dignity. She was a space path Gu Immortal, known as Divine Mother Jue Kong. Among these three, she was the oldest Gu Immortal, being over nine hundred years old.
Divine Mother Jue Kong closed her eyes, using her mysterious method, her aura remained calm and there was not even any trace of fluctuation.
In a short while, she opened her eyes, letting out a breath of foggy air: "It is here indeed, Starry Sky grotto-heaven is located at this place."
The other two immortals heard this and their spirits lifted.
"Seven Star Child did not have much reputation back then, he actually cultivated to this extent without making a sound. In fact, his grotto-heaven even absorbed a fragment of blue heaven. Precisely because of this, Starry Sky grotto-heaven could still exist now. It is incredible." Qian Zhu Xian sighed.
During the Immemorial Antiquity Era, the world of Gu Masters had nine heavens in the sky.
Red, orange, yellow, green, azure, blue, purple, white, black, they formed the immemorial nine heavens.
But seven of the nine heavens were destroyed by Ren Zu's children, right now, only black and white heaven were left alternating in the sky.
Seven Star Child had a fortuitous encounter in the past, he secretly absorbed a fragment of blue heaven, this allowed his grotto-heaven to exist to this day, and not become a dead aperture due to his state.
The immemorial nine heavens were nine different worlds.
The immortal apertures of Gu Immortals were also worlds, worlds could swallow one another, the most famous example was treasure yellow heaven.
Back then, treasure yellow heaven's owner — rank eight Gu Immortal, Daoist Countless Treasures, unexpectedly obtained a fragment world of yellow heaven. Thus, after he fused it into his grotto-heaven, it formed treasure yellow heaven.
After treasure yellow heaven was formed, it became extraordinary, and continued existing even until today.
"Once a grotto-heaven absorbs a nine heavens fragment, the benefits are really great. Not only will they gain some unpredictable mystical power, the immortal aperture's heavenly power would become unlimited. Furthermore, calamities and tribulations would weaken greatly, or completely vanish. If I can obtain such a fragment world, I might even wake up laughing in my sleep." Valley Lord Ming He was full of envy.
"Dream on, Ming He. Get your cultivation level to rank eight first. Only a grotto-heaven of a rank eight Gu Immortal can absorb a nine heavens fragment world." Qian Zhu Xian laughed.
Valley Lord Ming He heard this and laughed bitterly: "I want to get to rank eight too, but I have no confidence in surviving the second grand tribulation. Thinking about how rank eight Gu Immortals have to undergo a grand tribulation every fifty years, I shudder at that thought. As for the myriad tribulation that is even more terrifying than grand tribulations, I simply cannot imagine them! Maybe, only someone like Shi Lei has no fear…"
Blessed lands had fortune, but heaven and earth was balanced, thus, once in a while, calamities and tribulations would befall.
Rank six Gu Immortals experience an earthly calamity every ten years, and a heavenly tribulation every one hundred years. Thus, when assessing a Gu Immortal's cultivation level, they often used the heavenly tribulation as the standard. Fang Yuan was a two heavenly tribulations expert in his previous life.
After a rank six Gu Immortal goes through three heavenly tribulations, their blessed land would expand to another level, and they would become a rank seven Gu Immortal.
Rank seven Gu Immortals face an earthly calamity every ten years, a heavenly tribulation every fifty years, and a grand tribulation every one hundred years. Qian Zhu Xian and Valley Lord Ming He were one grand tribulation Gu Immortals, while Divine Mother Jue Kong was a level higher than them, being at two grand tribulations cultivation level.
As for rank eight Gu Immortals, they no longer experienced any earthly calamities, but they faced a heavenly tribulation every ten years, a grand tribulation every fifty years, and a myriad tribulation every one hundred years.
Myriad tribulations were far more scary than heavenly tribulations, they were known as 'hopeless myriad tribulations' among Gu Immortals, the difficulty was extremely high.
Thus, nine heavens fragments were much more precious.
Because the immemorial nine heavens were a part of the large world of Gu Masters. Calamities and tribulations would only descend upon blessed lands and grotto-heavens as they were immortal aperture worlds, this did not happen in the five regions or the immemorial nine heavens.
After the grotto-heaven devours the nine heavens fragment, in a way, they become a part of the large world of Gu Masters. This could greatly reduce the size and power of the calamities and tribulations, and the grotto-heaven would not die if the Gu Immortal dies. For example, Starry Sky grotto-heaven was still intact despite Seven Star Child already becoming an immortal zombie.
If the nine heavens fragment that was absorbed was big, calamities and tribulations could vanish for good. For example, treasure yellow heaven had never experienced any calamities or tribulations, it was now the biggest trading area in the Gu Immortal world.
"The benefits of absorbing a nine heavens fragment are huge. But don't forget, this method has a weakness too. Even if you absorb just a bit of the nine heavens fragment, you will take in the aura of the greater world. Once the grotto-heaven is rooted into it, it can never be placed into your body again." Divine Mother Jue Kong reminded them.
Qian Zhu Xian nodded, agreeing: "Simply put, by absorbing the nine heavens fragment, the Gu Immortal loses their freedom. They can only stay inside their immortal aperture world and cannot move about in the outside world. This is truly a huge loss. But if a nine heavens fragment appears before me, I would choose it without hesitation!"
"That's right." Valley Lord Ming He agreed: "Calamities and tribulations are too hard to survive, sometimes, I would want to become an immortal zombie, at least their dead lands would not experience any calamities or tribulations."
"Alright, handling the task is the most important matter. We purposely wasted so many days, I'm sure that Monkey King has learned his lesson." Divine Mother Jue Kong slowly closed her eyes.
Valley Lord Ming He fell into silence.
Qian Zhu Xian laughed: "Heh, after we save Shi Lei, I want to see if he can still act arrogant again?"
Divine Mother Jue Kong could no longer keep a calm aura, her golden robe fluttered as the aura of Immortal Gu burst out from her.
"Open." Suddenly, she opened her eyes, her gaze was sharp as it pierced a hole into the void before her.
The hole was about the size of a man, through this hole, the three Gu Immortals could directly see the scenery inside Starry Sky grotto-heaven.
The three immortals did not speak, Qian Zhu Xian charged ahead and entered it. Next, Valley Lord Ming He entered, followed by Divine Mother Jue Kong.
But at the next moment, the three Gu Immortals appeared in the sky again.
"What is going on?" Qian Zhu Xian and Valley Lord Ming He showed some shock on their faces.
Divine Mother Jue Kong's expression was solemn, her relaxed appearance was gone as she muttered: "In is not in, out is not out, space is interchanging, swapping around… this is the mystical ability Starry Sky grotto-heaven obtained after absorbing the blue heaven fragment?"
"Yes. Shi Lei mentioned this in his request for help as well." Valley Lord Ming He recalled.
"It is not strange, why would it be simple if it could trap this monkey?" Qian Zhu Xian said.
Divine Mother Jue Kong snorted coldly: "This is only a minor problem."
At the same time, in Northern Plains, Zombie Alliance branch, inside Dark Flow Giant City.
This place had densely accumulated darkness, even the clear skies could not shine any sunlight into here.
Fang Yuan pushed open the door and was inspected by more than twenty gazes.
He purposely showed a scared and hesitant expression as he stepped into the discussion hall.
He paid his respects, shouting: "I am Sha Huang, greetings to my fellow brethren."
"Fellow brethren… you used a good phrase. We members of Zombie Alliance are in the same situation, we should help each other." On the main seat of the discussion hall, there was an immortal zombie smiling as he said.
He was a fatty, he was over six meters tall, just like Fang Yuan's eight arm immortal zombie form, but he was at least three times fatter than Fang Yuan. His skin was like bronze, his stomach was like a wine vat, big and round. Not just his stomach, his face, arms, fingers, they were all extremely round.
Fang Yuan saw him and thought of the information he had: "Flesh bronze zombie body, Yin Liu Gong…"
Before Fang Yuan came to the Zombie Alliance, he had gotten the relevant information from Fairy Li Shan.
Immortal zombie Gu Ye beside him thought that Fang Yuan was a newbie, he quickly paid respects: "Gu Yu pays respects to Lord Yin Liu Gong, Lord Dragon Commander Ye Cha, and Lord Huang Quan Weng."
Fang Yuan followed after him: "I greet Lord Yin Liu Gong, Lord Dragon Commander Ye Cha, and Lord Huang Quan Weng."
Saying so, he gave Gu Ye a look of gratitude.
Gu Ye smiled at him.
Yin Liu Gong was seated at the center seat, on his left was Dragon Commander Ye Cha, he was sitting up straight with a ruthless expression, his fangs were pale and sharp, on the right was Huang Quan Weng, he looked old and had a hunched back.
Even though they had overflowing death energy, their rank seven aura could not be concealed.
These three immortal zombies had true rank seven cultivation level, they were stationed in Dark Flow Giant City.
"Sha Huang… is this your real name?" Dragon Commander Ye Cha asked, his words were like steel, once he spoke, a strong wave of killing intent burst out, making one feel as if they were in the middle of a terrifying battlefield.
This was due to his experiences.
Dragon Commander Ye Cha was a lone cultivator, he had joined the Imperial Court contest and had used some of the opportunities inside Imperial Court blessed land to accumulate his foundation and become a Gu Immortal.
In other words, he had very rich battle experience, nobody dared to look down on him.
He opened his mouth, and his tone showed his imposing nature, it made people feel like he was pressuring them heavily.
"Of course not." Fang Yuan laughed bitterly: "Sha Huang was the name I gave myself on the second day after I became an immortal zombie. It signified a new beginning, for me to temporarily forget my past glory. I had once sworn to heaven, only when I regain my real body and get rid of my immortal zombie status would I use my former name again."
Once he said that, all of the immortals in the discussion showed varying expressions.
There was disdain, sneers, silence, sadness, but mostly, understanding.
Fang Yuan's current performance and his mental state was just like theirs in the past. But after so many years, their grand ambitions were gone, their hopes and desires were almost completely burnt out. They were still immortal zombies now, life had not changed for the better.
"Alright, since Sha Huang opened the door, then he is a Northern Plains Gu Immortal. We in Zombie Alliance would be stronger with one more member. He has already proven himself. One has to know, previously, even Yao Huang did not manage to push open this door. Guh, guh guh guh…" Huang Quan Weng said as he started coughing, showing his old and weak state.
