Chapter 1272: What is that?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After the Battle of Yi Tian Mountain ended, Fang Yuan had tested this body's limits.
He did not use any Gu worms, but he was fast like a charging horse.
By just leaping gently, he could jump ten meters of distance.
Jumping down from a hundred and eighty meters while pointing his head downwards, he felt a little dizzy but it only lasted for three breaths of time, and was gone before he knew it.
He had great strength and endurance as well, he ran for minutes without feeling any fatigue at all.
His five senses and visual acuity were beyond amazing! His vision was outstanding, looking ten thousand steps ahead, everything was clear to him.
His heartbeat returned to normal after exercising intensely, every time it beat, it was very strong and lively.
His thinking speed was extremely fast as well. Even if it was under the light of wisdom, he could maintain it for a long time. Even Gu Immortals could rarely reach this extent with only their bodies.
Not just a metal tree, even if a metal hill crashed at him, Fang Yuan would be intact.
This was the sovereign immortal body's own physique, it had nothing to do with Gu worms, it had to do with his dao marks.
"Inside Reverse Flow River, I cannot use Gu worms, but the same goes for others!"
"Meanwhile, my sovereign immortal body is sufficiently strong, my dao marks are also high in quantity."
Fang Yuan thought about it, his mood turned into excitement.
"Ying Wu Xie!"
He flung his limbs as he swam forward like a swordfish.
The whole Reverse Flow River was running quickly, but the overall flow was affected by the formation, it flowed towards Black Extremity and Flood Extremity.
Roar!
A striped tiger was climbing onto a plank with its limbs.
Fang Yuan swam to the tiger but it was unmoved. Meanwhile, Fang Yuan panted as he took a little rest on the plank.
But this plank could not endure the weight of both the human and tiger, it started sinking.
The tiger was anxious, it bore its fangs at Fang Yuan and wanted to bite him, but Fang Yuan snorted and stretched out his arm, crushing the tiger's head as he raised his fist and punched this tiger to death.
"Thankfully, this is not a desolate beast but an ordinary beast instead."
Against a desolate beast, the sovereign immortal body was not enough.
Snowy Mountain blessed land did not lack desolate beasts. But to refine fortune rivalling heaven Immortal Gu, in activating the formation and defending against enemies, Snowy Mountain blessed land had already been modified. Gu Immortals with desolate beasts had kept them in their immortal apertures, they would not allow enemies to kill the desolate beasts, that would just be stupid.
Fang Yuan swam in Reverse Flow River, he wanted to find Ying Wu Xie.
Snowy Mountain blessed land collapsed, Reverse Flow River was pouring out, Fang Yuan did not know that Purple Mountain True Monarch had awakened.
He was still thinking of Old Ancestor Xue Hu as the main enemy. He estimated that Ying Wu Xie had some relationship with Snowy Mountain, but it was not close. Otherwise, why would Old Ancestor Xue Hu not help during the Battle of Yi Tian Mountain?
Fang Yuan's analysis was not wrong.
But his information path methods were too lacking, he did not have enough intel.
"Right now, even if I meet Old Ancestor Xue Hu, I can survive. Because in Reverse Flow River, Gu worms cannot be used, it is a special environment!"
"Since Ying Wu Xie has some connection with Old Ancestor Xue Hu, if I miss this chance, they will definitely grow rapidly under his protection."
"If I miss this chance, I might not have another opportunity to eliminate them again!"
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan moved ahead after resting shortly.
But he met Bi Chen Tian.
A Central Continent rank eight Gu Immortal!
Fang Yuan was shocked.
"What is going on?"
"A rank eight Gu Immortal who isn't Old Ancestor Xue Hu, and is from Central Continent?!"
Bi Chen Tian was in a terrible state, he was covered in injuries as he rested on a huge turtle's back.
These injuries were not from Reverse Flow River's journey, but were sustained in the battle earlier. He was a rank eight Gu Immortal, his dao marks conflicted and it was harder to heal from injuries once he sustained them.
But in that battle, he was in a weaker position, how could he have time to heal himself?
Thus, after the main formation collapsed, he was swept by Reverse Flow River and could not use his Gu worms to heal himself, all the way until now.
But fortunately, while being washed away in the river, he met a floating turtle and managed to get a chance to rest on it.
Fang Yuan discovered Bi Chen Tian, Bi Chen Tian also saw Fang Yuan.
But Bi Chen Tian did not recognize Fang Yuan.
Because Fang Yuan was in his sovereign immortal body's appearance! His original appearance was exposed by Heavenly Court and was spread over all five regions.
Even though Bi Chen Tian did not know Fang Yuan, he frowned and became alert.
Because Fang Yuan's aura showed that he was a Northern Plains Gu Immortal.
This was also because of the sovereign immortal body.
After passing the regional wall, Fang Yuan could change his aura into that of the region he was in, he was a Gu Immortal of the region and could perfectly fuse into it.
"Who is this? He is not one of the peak lords of Snowy Mountain blessed land, however, he could have been recruited by Old Ancestor Xue Hu secretly."
Bi Chen Tian stood up on the turtle's shell, looking at Fang Yuan's every movement.
Inside Reverse Flow River, even though Bi Chen Tian had rank eight cultivation level, his Gu worms could not be used, he had limited battle strength.
Fang Yuan also looked at him alertly, he did not get close.
Even though Fang Yuan had the sovereign immortal body, he would be stupid if he thought he was the strongest person in Reverse Flow River!
Reverse Flow River did not allow Gu worms to be used, but his body was intact, his dao marks were effective.
Fang Yuan's sovereign immortal body was very powerful, because of the dao marks on the immortal body.
Similarly, if a Gu Master used black boar Gu to gain the strength of a boar, he would have the strength path dao marks carved into his body. If this Gu Master falls into Reverse Flow River, and is unable to use Gu worms, he would still be able to use his body and attack with the strength of a boar.
As for other Gu Immortals, over the long course of their cultivation journey, how could they not use any Gu worms like black boar Gu to increase the number of dao marks in their bodies?
This was natural!
Anyone who was not a fool would know the advantages of such dao marks.
Fang Yuan's body had its advantages, so did other Gu Immortals, the extent simply varied from one person to another.
For rank eight Gu Immortals, they had deep foundations, Fang Yuan did not want to fight against Bi Chen Tian at the moment.
"You are a Central Continent Gu Immortal?"
"I am a Northern Plains Gu Immortal, but I have a grudge with Old Ancestor Xue Hu."
"I saw him trying to refine the rank eight Immortal Gu, I did not want him to succeed, so I went to the outside of the blessed land and tried to find a way to break in."
"Are you a helper for him to refine the Gu?"
Fang Yuan probed.
Bi Chen Tian's frown eased a little, he answered: "Old Ancestor Xue Hu is also my enemy."
"Not long ago, I was fighting against him in Snowy Mountain blessed land, but this unexpected surprise happened."
"My injuries are all caused by Old Ancestor Xue Hu."
The two talked and exchanged information.
Fang Yuan realized now that so many things had happened in Snowy Mountain blessed land!
But Bi Chen Tian was very vague about many things, Fang Yuan could not get much intel.
They did not trust each other after all.
This was natural.
They only had interacted a little, it was hard to tell what the other person's intentions were.
And in this situation where Gu worms could not be used, both sides were at their highest alertness.
Fang Yuan knew he could not get more information from Bi Chen Tian and decided to leave.
He left that huge wild turtle.
Even during the conversation, he did not get closer, while Bi Chen Tian did not invite Fang Yuan to rest on the turtle's back.
Bi Chen Tian saw that Fang Yuan was leaving and his expression relaxed a little.
But at this moment, an unexpected surprise occurred.
Ping.
A soft sound echoed.
A fist-sized thing was washed down by the river, landing on Fang Yuan's face.
This thing was soft and tiny, like a jellyfish, it stuck to Fang Yuan's forehead.
"What is this?" Fang Yuan was stunned, he wanted to pull it away.
But at this time, he heard Bi Chen Tian call out: "Be gentle, don't crush it!"
"Oh?" Fang Yuan was surprised, what was it that made a rank eight Gu Immortal nervous?

Chapter 1273: Affection Immortal Gu
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Fang Yuan held this jellyfish-like Gu in his hand, looking at it.
At the next moment, his eyes shined.
This was an Immortal Gu.
But he did not know its rank.
Because in Reverse Flow River, no Gu worm could be used. These Gu worms that fell into Reverse Flow River were like fossils, they were sealed and their auras could not be felt.
This made Fang Yuan unaware of the nature of this jellyfish Immortal Gu earlier, when it was on his face.
Only when Bi Chen Tian reminded him did Fang Yuan realize.
If this were in the outside world, without Reverse Flow River, Immortal Gu aura would leak, Fang Yuan would detect it from far away, and determine what its rank was.
As for what Immortal Gu it was, that would depend on the Gu Immortal's own knowledge.
"This Immortal Gu seems to be… affection Gu?" Fang Yuan's knowledge was wide, after looking at it, he could guess this what this Gu was.
Wisdom path had three elements, thoughts, wills, and emotions.
Since there was love Immortal Gu, there was also affection Immortal Gu, of course 1 .
Fang Yuan's guess was right.
Bi Chen Tian could not help but feel anxious. Affection Gu was very important to Central Continent's Gu Immortals.
Why?
Because this Immortal Gu was temporarily used in Edge Link Camp, there were many mortal Gu along with it.
This affection Immortal Gu, along with many mortal Gu, could create a new effect in Edge Link Camp, that was to track the location of love Gu. Even if love Gu was in an immortal aperture, it would not be affected.
That was how Edge Link Camp managed to find Snowy Mountain blessed land.
Otherwise, inside the spaceless tunnel, when love Gu sent Zhao Lian Yun, Yu Yi Ye Zi, Shi Zheng Yi, Bu Zhen Zi, and Mu Ling Lan away, who would know where they went?
After adding affection Immortal Gu and other Gu worms, Edge Link Camp could detect love Immortal Gu and traced it to Snowy Mountain blessed land.
But afterwards, because they fought with Old Ancestor Xue Hu and Purple Mountain True Monarch, Edge Link Camp sustained great pressure, and took much damage. Before this, due to the long journey and the collapse of the spaceless tunnel, Edge Link Camp was not complete to begin with.
And now, after Flood Extremity and Black Extremity activated the Gu formation, destroying the main formation, Reverse Flow River flowed out and struck the heavily damaged Edge Link Camp.
This way, the Immortal Gu House broke apart and the Immortal Gu and mortal Gu inside were all swept away by the water.
If this were the outside world, these Immortal Gu and mortal Gu would fly towards the Gu Immortals who had their wills contained.
But inside Reverse Flow River, these Gu worms were restricted by the special environment, they were forcefully sealed, hibernating like they were no longer alive.
Affection Gu was one of the countless Gu worms that made up the Immortal Gu House.
Or rather, it was a very lucky one.
Because most of the Gu worms had flowed along the river and were destroyed by the waves, or crashed into rocks or trees.
Gu worms were very fragile.
Reverse Flow River became their grave.
Of course, there were different types of Gu worm body types.
Most were broken with one squeeze, but some were like jade or rocks, as tough as jade. Affection Gu was different, it had a soft body, it could survive even if there was an impact.
Evidently, this was how it survived in Reverse Flow River.
But after ending up in Fang Yuan's hands, it was not in good shape.
The jellyfish body was very tattered, there was a huge injury that was about a quarter of its size, it was terrifying.
Bi Chen Tian's eyes were very sharp, seeing that Fang Yuan was about to pull away this affection Gu, he called out in worry.
But after reminding him, he felt great regret.
If he did not say it, Fang Yuan might have thrown it away without care or concern.
But now, Fang Yuan's eyes were shining, he realized the truth.
Bi Chen Tian withheld the unease in his heart as he cupped his fists at Fang Yuan: "Friend, this Gu belongs to Central Continent. Why don't you give this Immortal Gu to me, you will gain the friendship of Central Continent. Is that alright?"
Fang Yuan squinted: "I can consider that, but what Gu is this? You need to tell me."
Bi Chen Tian answered: "This is affection Gu, a wisdom path Gu worm."
Wisdom path Gu Immortals were rare, Bi Chen Tian emphasized that this was affection Immortal Gu because he thought that Fang Yuan was not a wisdom path Gu Immortal. Affection Gu was not useful to most Gu Immortals after all.
It was a waste to give it away, but it was a burden in one's hands.
Why?
Gu Immortals needed wills as their assistants. Be it in sect meetings or in treasure yellow heaven, any will Gu could be used widely.
But mortal level will Gu could achieve this.
There was no need to waste one's effort in raising an affection Immortal Gu.
After all, if one was not a wisdom path Gu Immortal, with their conflicting dao marks, using the Immortal Gu of other paths would have lower effects. At the same time, just affection Immortal Gu could not form any immortal killer moves.
Unless it was an immortal killer move of other paths that needed affection Immortal Gu, or any special methods that needed it, then the Gu Immortal would desire it.
Not all Immortal Gu were popular with people.
Gu Immortals had different paths, so did Immortal Gu. Gu Immortals were of rank six, seven, and eight, so were Immortal Gu.
For Gu Immortals, only suitable Immortal Gu had value to them.
In the five hundred years of Fang Yuan's previous life, during the five regions chaotic war, Gu Immortals often held trading sessions to exchange their Immortal Gu.
But Bi Chen Tian would not think that Fang Yuan was the most special Gu Immortal of all.
Firstly, he had grandmaster wisdom path attainment level, such a person had to be considered a wisdom path Gu Immortal.
Secondly, Fang Yuan's sovereign immortal body did not have conflicting dao marks, he could cultivate any path!
Lastly, Fang Yuan had been fretting over this matter, even though he had wisdom path attainment level and methods, he did not have relevant wisdom path Immortal Gu.
Thus, this affection Immortal Gu was very important to Fang Yuan.
Thus, he placed affection Immortal Gu into the pocket of his shirt.
Inside Reverse Flow River, the immortal aperture's entrance could not be opened, he had to carry it with him.
Bi Chen Tian saw this and his heart sank, his tone was even more anxious: "Friend! Take out that Immortal Gu, we are not enemies, we can go through a transaction according to what we need."
Fang Yuan looked at Bi Chen Tian: "We can have a transaction, but not here."

Chapter 1274: Fighting Rank Eight in the River
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
If possible, Fang Yuan wanted to use affection Immortal Gu to trade for Immortal Gu that suited him more.
But in Reverse Flow River, transactions were impossible.
Because no Gu worms could be used, information path methods that allowed two parties to engage in transactions were unusable.
Fang Yuan wanted to exchange for Immortal Gu, but Bi Chen Tian could not take out any Immortal Gu, because Gu worms hibernated while inside Reverse Flow River, let alone those in an immortal aperture, they would not respond to any of a Gu Immortal's summons even if they were inside their bodies.
Thus, Bi Chen Tian did not have any chips to use for trade.
Bi Chen Tian knew Fang Yuan's concern, but should he give up this chance and wait for the future?
Who knew what would happen in the future?
After Black Extremity's action, Snowy Mountain blessed land was gone, Central Continent's Edge Link Camp was destroyed as well, if Central Continent's group fought again, they would fall into an even deeper disadvantage.
Central Continent's Gu Immortals were barely able to defend themselves, once they escaped Reverse Flow River, wouldn't they flee immediately?
Thus, there was no chance to undergo trade with Fang Yuan.
If they did not do the transaction now, what about in the future?
Fang Yuan was a Northern Plains Gu Immortal, while Bi Chen Tian was a Central Continent Gu Immortal, both were in different regions, even in treasure yellow heaven, Central Continent could not dictate Fang Yuan to do a transaction with them later.
What if he made a deal with someone else? What if he raised prices to an absurd level without fear?
There were worse situations possible.
Bi Chen Tian was someone with the foresight to consider bad outcomes in advance, seeing that he could not coax Fang Yuan to give the Immortal Gu, his killing intent rose!
"I am a rank eight Gu Immortal, even if I cannot use Immortal Gu here, with my dao mark foundation, how can I lose to a rank seven Gu Immortal?"
Thinking like this, Bi Chen Tian jumped into the river water and swam towards Fang Yuan.
At this moment, his hostility was obvious.
Fang Yuan sneered internally, as he charged towards Bi Chen Tian as well.
Bi Chen Tian saw this and became joyful, thinking: "This Northern Plains Gu Immortal looks like a battle maniac. He's simply brainless!"
The river water moved rapidly, but both parties had extraordinary bodies, they quickly met in the middle.
Boom boom boom.
Fang Yuan raised his fist and punched at Bi Chen Tian thrice.
Bi Chen Tian was a wood path Gu Immortal, he had great stamina and eyesight, he blocked all three attacks.
He was shocked: "This person looks so young, how can he have such strength? Does he cultivate strength path?"
He felt that his arm was numb from blocking.
But while he was shocked, Bi Chen Tian still retaliated with his other hand.
Both sides exchanged fists, they quickly got into a scuffle.
Fang Yuan's entire body was a weapon, his head, knee, elbow, and all sorts of jabs were used.
Bi Chen Tian was on the back foot, but soon, he held up evenly against Fang Yuan's attacks. Because he had incredible foundation, and his close combat skills were very deep. Even though he had rarely used these techniques after becoming a Gu Immortal, currently in actual battle, he was recovering his combat skills.
As for Fang Yuan, he had become a Gu Immortal more recently, many years ago, he was a mortal Gu Master roaming Northern Plains and Southern Border, he was familiar with close combat.
The two fought in the water, at times, they lifted their heads above the water and breathed roughly, temporarily resting.
Reverse Flow River moved rapidly, most of their energy was spent in swimming, they did not actually fight too much.
When they fought, the environment was very complex.
Because at times, logs or wild beasts would float down the river and force the two to evade them.
As a result, after tens of rounds of battle, both sides were breathing roughly, but they could do nothing to the other party.
"This rank eight Gu Immortal is truly deep in foundation. I wanted to kill a rank eight in Reverse Flow River, but now it seems to be wishful thinking."
Bi Chen Tian, however, was filled with shock.
"How can this be? This person is on par with me?!"
"I have used grass python Immortal Gu previously to gain a huge amount of strength."
"I have also used immortal killer move wood armor to carve dao marks in my body, my body has naturally strong defenses."
"I even turned my heart into a wood heart and turned my blood into green blood, giving me super healing abilities."
"These immortal killer moves and Immortal Gu, along with my dao marks as a rank eight Gu Immortal who has so many calamities and tribulations, I definitely outclass this rank seven."
"But why am I simply evenly matched with him?"
Bi Chen Tian stared at Fang Yuan, as if he was looking at a monster.
Speaking of which, Fang Yuan did not have as many dao marks as the rank eight Bi Chen Tian, but in fact, his dao mark accumulation surpassed most rank seven Gu Immortals. Even though he only became a rank seven Gu Immortal recently.
What resisted Bi Chen Tian was the sovereign immortal body.
The sovereign immortal body was not a normal human body, it was refined from a Gu worm. Be it Wei Ling Yang or Bi Chen Tian, they were humans. But Fang Yuan's body was made from a Gu worm.
It could therefore be said that Fang Yuan being a complete otherworldly demon was one of the reasons.
The sovereign immortal body made up for the difference in dao marks between him and Bi Chen Tian, allowing them to fight evenly.
Fang Yuan decided to retreat.
Even though he did not lose, his intention was to kill the huge threat Ying Wu Xie.
Earlier, when fighting with Bi Chen Tian, he wanted to test his strength, to see if he could kill a rank eight Gu Immortal.
But in fact, Fang Yuan was overly optimistic.
He could do nothing to Bi Chen Tian, Fang Yuan had to give up. He did not want to stall it out with Bi Chen Tian, his objective had not been met yet.
Fang Yuan wanted to leave, but Bi Chen Tian did not allow him to.
Even though Bi Chen Tian could not do anything to Fang Yuan, affection Immortal Gu was still with Fang Yuan.
"Even if I cannot win, I need to keep him here. If my companions come later, we can encircle him together. I cannot let him escape!"
"Damn it, this guy." Fang Yuan quickly frowned.
He wanted to retreat, but Bi Chen Tian's speed and strength were not inferior to his, even though Fang Yuan wanted to leave, Bi Chen Tian was preventing him from doing so.
This gravely affected Fang Yuan's plan.
"In that case, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Fang Yuan's eyes flashed with cold light.
Obstructed by the wild beast corpse ahead, Fang Yuan's speed fell and Bi Chen Tian reached him again.
Fang Yuan turned around to fight him.
Both were fighting with their fists and legs in Reverse Flow River, it was a draw, at the crucial moment, Fang Yuan stretched out his arm and placed affection Immortal Gu in front of himself.
Bi Chen Tian wanted to punch at Fang Yuan's torso.
If he hit, Fang Yuan would lose his oxygen supply and would need to go to the surface and breathe in fresh air.
This was one of the key points of fighting underwater.
But Fang Yuan suddenly took out affection Immortal Gu, and put it in front of Bi Chen Tian's fist.
Bi Chen Tian turned pale from shock, he quickly pulled back his fist and revealed a flaw.
Fang Yuan laughed coldly on the inside, he used this flaw and charged, Bi Chen Tian had made a mistake and could only block and defend himself, preparing to counterattack.
But Fang Yuan suddenly raised affection Immortal Gu in front of himself, causing Bi Chen Tian to be unable to attack and exposing a flaw.
With two flaws exposed, Fang Yuan made use of his advantage and kicked at Bi Chen Tian's stomach.
Bi Chen Tian was hit and immediately opened his mouth as air bubbles floated up.
He did not have enough oxygen now, he changed his tactics and wanted to escape to the surface.
But Fang Yuan did not allow this, he stretched out his arms and gripped with them like pincers, pulling Bi Chen Tian and preventing him from reaching the surface.
Bi Chen Tian suddenly twisted his waist and escaped with a difficult maneuver. He moved like a fish, bursting out with strength, Fang Yuan's left arm could not catch him.
Fang Yuan praised on the inside towards this response.
Bi Chen Tian was a Central Continent Gu Immortal, but his rank eight foundation really held no weaknesses. In terms of fighting underwater, he even slightly surpassed Fang Yuan.
There was a need to mention, Fang Yuan had lived in Eastern Sea for a long time during the five hundred years of his previous life.
This way, Bi Chen Tian instantly swam until he was on top of Fang Yuan.

Chapter 1275: Kicking a Rank Eight Great Expert
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Fang Yuan's grasp earlier had failed, he raised his arms and grabbed upwards.
His left arm missed but his right arm grabbed onto Bi Chen Tian's leg.
Bi Chen Tian was obstructed, his other leg kicked towards Fang Yuan's head like a fierce dragon.
This blow was heavy, if it landed, Fang Yuan would become dizzy and Bi Chen Tian would easily escape.
But Fang Yuan took out affection Immortal Gu and raised it up.
Bi Chen Tian wanted to curse, his leg stopped.
Fang Yuan managed to obtain some time to react, he moved his head backwards as his entire body went upside down in the water.
Originally, he was like Bi Chen Tian, they were floating upright.
But now that he grabbed Bi Chen Tian's leg, he became upside down.
Bi Chen Tian saw this and his heart sank, he gasped in his mind.
This was because Fang Yuan was grabbing onto his leg with one hand, while the other was holding affection Immortal Gu, he could not attack with strength.
But at this moment, in this scene, Fang Yuan had two legs to use.
Meanwhile, Bi Chen Tian's leg was held by Fang Yuan, he could only attack with one other leg.
Bi Chen Tian was shocked, the leg that was free moved around like a butterfly, it was extremely nimble, after kicking for several times, Fang Yuan could only see many shadows of his moving leg.
But Fang Yuan had no fear, he kicked with both legs, as he unleashed a flurry of kicks moving like shadows as well.
Both parties were fighting in the water, causing huge spirals to form around the river water, each time their legs collided, a loud sound was emitted in the river water.
Bi Chen Tian could only use one leg, how could he compete with both of Fang Yuan's legs?
During the process of fighting, he was often hit by Fang Yuan's legs.
Bi Chen Tian mainly defended himself, as he felt downcast: "I am a great rank eight Gu Immortal, to think that this would happen. Scoundrel! As long as I get to the surface and recover my breath, I will deal with you!"
His arms flailed furiously, dragging Fang Yuan towards the surface as well.
But at the next moment, Fang Yuan's eyes shined with brilliance, as he blocked Bi Chen Tian's kick with one leg, while his other leg kicked at a crucial location.
"Ah!"
Bi Chen Tian was kicked by Fang Yuan, it landed on his crotch.
In an instant, his entire face stiffened, he stared with wide opened eyes, he was about to gasp out his last bit of oxygen left.
Bi Chen Tian was a rank eight great expert after all, he had superhuman endurance, he forcefully endured it and moved his arms, wanting to swim up to the surface.
Boom!
Fang Yuan kicked again.
Bi Chen Tian's body shook, this time, he could not help but breathe out a chain of bubbles.
Boom boom boom.
Sensing his huge weakness, Fang Yuan continued to kick.
Bi Chen Tian's face was flushed red, his eyes were bloodshot, he no longer thought of getting to the surface, he wanted to kill Fang Yuan!
"Who would fight you to the death?" Fang Yuan let go, kicking Bi Chen Tian away with another blow.
At the same time, he was pushed away by the force, pulling some distance from Bi Chen Tian.
After getting free, Bi Chen Tian was dazed for a while before giving up on Fang Yuan, he went to the surface to recover his breath.
Fang Yuan turned around and escaped successfully from Bi Chen Tian.
Bi Chen Tian's head came up to the surface as he breathed in deeply continuously.
His crotch was hurting, waves of pain was assaulting his nerves, he felt himself getting dizzy.
"This accursed fellow! If I have a chance, I will tear out your tendons and burn you to ashes!" Bi Chen Tian watched at the river surface as Fang Yuan swam away rapidly, their distance was enlarging, he could not catch up.
Fang Yuan successfully escaped from Bi Chen Tian, he slowed down to recover his stamina.
His legs were numb.
Bi Chen Tian's crotch was not easy to kick. Fang Yuan had immense strength, but his legs still felt numb from kicking it.
Evidently, Bi Chen Tian had thought of defending his crotch, there were many wood path dao marks there.
At the final crucial moment, Fang Yuan did not fight with Bi Chen Tian.
He knew that with Bi Chen Tian's methods, even if he killed him, he would have to face a terrifying retaliation and would likely get heavily injured or end up dead.
Fang Yuan did not want this outcome.
He did not need to fight to the death with a rank eight Gu Immortal.
He had the sovereign immortal body, his future was bright. And his goal to begin with was Ying Wu Xie.
If he died with Bi Chen Tian, wouldn't Ying Wu Xie be laughing his head off? Even if only Bi Chen Tian died, Fang Yuan would still be heavily injured, he would lose the ability to kill Ying Wu Xie.
Of course, there was something crucial.
Even if he killed Bi Chen Tian, Fang Yuan could gain nothing!
Immortal apertures could not be opened here, Bi Chen Tian's corpse would be a burden. Fang Yuan could not carry this corpse around with him, even if he could, what if he met Ying Wu Xie? Even if he did not meet Ying Wu Xie, what would he do if he met Central Continent's Gu Immortals?
Rank seven Gu Immortal killing rank eight, this would be a grand feat that would grant him unparalleled honor and glory.
But this honor was worthless to Fang Yuan!
He continued to swim ahead, trying to find Ying Wu Xie.
"Fang Yuan, is that you?"
Ying Wu Xie heard this and turned around, expressing joy on his face.
"Come closer, I will pull you up." He quickly said.
After a moment, Ying Wu Xie dragged Tai Bai Yun Sheng onto a huge lotus leaf.
"This is the leaf of the king lotus, it can float on the surface of the water, to think that you are so lucky." Tai Bai Yun Sheng sighed deeply.
Ying Wu Xie laughed, thinking: "I am luck connected to Fang Yuan, how can my luck be bad?"
But soon, his smile faded as worry appeared on his face again.
He looked at the flowing river: "Reverse Flow River's state is really strange now, we cannot escape. We have to meet up with Purple Mountain True Monarch now, we might be able to take back Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun, and even kill that ancient sword dragon that was chasing us!"
At the mention of Purple Mountain True Monarch, Tai Bai Yun Sheng showed admiration on his face: "Yes, we should meet up with master."
"Achoo!"
Purple Mountain True Monarch sneezed loudly.
He had a bitter expression, sighing: "Oh, to think that I would end up like this so soon after waking up. Sigh, I am old, my body is weak now, I seem to be getting a cold just because of some water."
He was sitting on Old Ancestor Xue Hu's shoulder.
Old Ancestor Xue Hu was swimming, he looked around, trying to find something in Reverse Flow River.
Hearing Purple Mountain True Monarch's words, he snorted: "You are doing nothing but you are still complaining? Don't you have wings? Why don't you fly out of Reverse Flow River?"
Purple Mountain True Monarch was in his original form now.
Like how Fang Yuan turned back to a human from ancient sword dragon form, Purple Mountain True Monarch was a rank eight miniman Gu Immortal, he had turned large earlier using an immortal method. Now that he was in Reverse Flow River, he became a miniman again.
Precisely because of this, he could sit on Old Ancestor Xue Hu's shoulder.
"You think I don't want to? But this Reverse Flow River is affected by some power, it is very chaotic, I cannot leave the river. Hehe, who created this Gu formation for you?" Purple Mountain True Monarch asked.
Old Ancestor Xue Hu had a grim expression: "Sun Ming Lu."
Purple Mountain True Monarch responded with an 'oh'.
"It should be him. This was out of my expectations." Old Ancestor Xue Hu said: "He is a member of Longevity Heaven!"
Old Ancestor Xue Hu was astute, at this moment, it was not hard to guess where Sun Ming Lu came from.
Because Central Continent's Gu Immortals were already in danger, in the entirety of Northern Plains, who could have the ability and guts to deal with Old Ancestor Xue Hu?
Other than Longevity Heaven, there was no one else.
Purple Mountain True Monarch said: "Longevity Heaven is definitely after Ma Hong Yun, as well as Zhao Lian Yun. They must be in front."
"I need to find my wife!" Old Ancestor Xue Hu said.
Purple Mountain True Monarch patted his shoulder: "Then we need to go ahead, Lady Wan Shou was right beside Ma Hong Yun at the time, she was swept away by the river along with them, she should be near them."
The fate reversing refinement sub formation was shining with a brilliant white-golden light.
The light burst into the sky, like a huge unconcealable pillar.
At this moment, Black Extremity was at the center of the Gu formation, manipulating it and directing the flow of Reverse Flow River. Flood Extremity was outside the Gu formation, preventing any intruders from approaching the pillar of light.

"So impressive, this Gu formation can actually control Reverse Flow River." Flood Extremity looked at the pillar of light and praised sincerely.
But Black Extremity shook his head: "This is not control, I merely created the fate reversing sacrificial refinement formation, it is like digging a river channel and letting Reverse Flow River move in it. We dug the river channel, thus, we can influence the direction that Reverse Flow River goes."
"When we retrieve Reverse Flow River, Longevity Heaven will gain another secluded domain of heaven and earth." Flood Extremity anticipated.
Black Extremity instructed again: "When we collect Reverse Flow River, the sub formation will be destroyed. You have to take note of the time and direction, opening your immortal aperture and letting the river flow in. You are a water path Gu Immortal, you have a big advantage in doing this."
Flood Extremity was troubled: "What if Reverse Flow River changes direction? Are there really no Gu worms in this world that can control Reverse Flow River?"
Black Extremity frowned slightly: "Well no, there isn't, but maybe not necessarily… there might be another possibility."
"What do you mean?"
"You know the contents of The Legends of Ren Zu. It stated that: Ren Zu sighed, as long as he had that Immortal Gu, he would conquer Reverse Flow River."
"You mean Immortal Gu — Perseverance? No way, perseverance Immortal Gu has never appeared before. In my opinion, that story is only telling us to persevere in cultivating and to never give up easily."
The Legends of Ren Zu, chapter four, section twenty-six —
Ren Zu's daughter, Boundless Forest Samsara, was trapped inside Ordinary Abyss.
She made friends with a miniman, the miniman brought Boundless Forest Samsara to see his home — City Well.
After Boundless Forest Samsara saw City Well, she raised her head at the sky.
"I understand now." Boundless Forest Samsara looked above her.
She was trapped inside Ordinary Abyss, she was just like the minimen who were trapped under the well. The minimen raised their heads and saw the sky within the well, it was like the sky that Boundless Forest Samsara saw when she looked up at Ordinary Abyss.
"I have decided, I will work hard and get out of this abyss to meet with father again!" Boundless Forest Samsara raised her fists, making up her mind.
The miniman was overjoyed: "Sure. I want to leave Ordinary Abyss and see the world outside as well. I see that there are many trees here in Ordinary Abyss, we can chop them down and make a ladder to climb up."
Boundless Forest Samsara gasped, looking at the miniman: "Oh miniman, don't you have wings? Why can't you fly out?"
The miniman smiled bitterly: "Oh human, I might have a pair of wings, but they are flimsy and weak. They can only carry me for a short distance. When I left City Well, I also used a ladder."
"So that's it." Boundless Forest Samsara realized.
In the following days, she stayed with the miniman, chopping trees and creating a ladder.
Trees were chopped down one by one, wisdom Gu flew out from them.
Boundless Forest Samsara was shocked: "Wisdom Gu, why are you here?"
"Wisdom is hidden in the ordinary, of course I can be here." Wisdom Gu answered.
Next, wisdom Gu said: "You are all very smart, you know how to use the achievements of predecessors to escape from being ordinary. But if you two want to leave Ordinary Abyss, you need to build your own ladders and complete them alone. Otherwise, you cannot leave."
Boundless Forest Samsara quickly nodded: "Oh wisdom Gu, thanks for reminding us, we will take note."
She and the miniman made their own ladders.
The ladders became taller and taller, soon, Boundless Forest Samsara's ladder surpassed the miniman.
The miniman's ladder was short and small, the distance between each step was also small.
In comparison, Boundless Forest Samsara's ladder was long and tall.
Boundless Forest Samsara teased the miniman: "Miniman, oh miniman, the ladder I make in half a day is as tall as the one you make in half a month. At this rate, when can you make a proper ladder to step on and escape from Ordinary Abyss?"
The miniman was helpless: "I can't help it, I am already doing my best, but this is all the wood I can carry after spending half a day, while you only need one hand to carry this over. I need to use a long time to chop down a small tree, but you only take three swings. I am already doing my best to reach this extent."
Boundless Forest Samsara nodded: "It is a pity we can only make our own ladders."
The miniman replied: "That's right, to leave Ordinary Abyss, we can use our predecessors' achievements, but we truly need to rely on ourselves. Let's continue working hard."
Boundless Forest Samsara and the miniman continued to chop down trees to make their ladders.
Trees fell one by one, from within, strength Gu flew out.
Boundless Forest Samsara was shocked: "Oh strength Gu, why are you here?"
"Strength is hidden in the ordinary, of course I can be here." Strength Gu answered.
Boundless Forest Samsara thought about it and asked: "Oh strength Gu, can you give us any advice? Like wisdom Gu."
Strength Gu said: "I have no advice to give you, but I can grant you great strength, as long as you give me your youth."
Boundless Forest Samsara fell into hesitation.
Strength Gu said: "According to your current strength, when will you be able to build a ladder tall enough to escape Ordinary Abyss?"
Boundless Forest Samsara thought: "Very long, I will need twenty to thirty years."
Strength Gu said: "Yes, by then, you will no longer be young, you will lose your youth and became middle aged, rather than that, you might as well give me your youth, even though you will become middle aged, you only need a few years to build the ladder."
Boundless Forest Samsara thought about it and nodded: "You are absolutely right, strength Gu, I will rely on you."
Thus, Boundless Forest Samsara obtained strength Gu, her speed in building the ladder became very fast, she could chop more trees at once. A year later, her ladder was extremely tall.
She stood at the top of the ladder and looked down.
She saw that the trees were very small, the grass was a field of green, she was very happy: "So when I stand at a high point, things that are big usually will become small. It is just like City Well."
She looked down at the miniman's ladder, it was very short, less than one percent of hers. She pouted.
Boundless Forest Samsara walked down and said to the miniman: "Why are you still so slow, my ladder is already so tall!"
The miniman looked at her ladder in admiration, saying helplessly: "I really admire you, your strength surpassed me to begin with, but now you also have strength Gu, it is too bad that I have no help, I can only rely on myself. I have already tried my best, everyday, other than eating and resting, I spend all my time building this ladder, but it cannot match yours."
Boundless Forest Samsara nodded: "That is natural."
Another year passed.
Boundless Forest Samsara continued to build the ladder even taller.
She stood at the peak and looked down.
The trees were like grass, while everything smaller than trees could not be seen clearly.
She looked at the miniman's ladder, even though it was taller than most trees, it was less than one-thousandth of hers.
Boundless Forest Samsara walked down the ladder, laughing at the miniman: "Miniman oh miniman, stop wasting your efforts. Your strength is too low, you will not be able to build that ladder even if you spend an entire lifetime. You might as well use this time to enjoy your life."
"Actually, you are already very amazing, compared to those minimen, you actually walked out of City Well, you should just enjoy your life now."
The miniman thought about it and shook his head: "I am not satisfied with being ordinary. When I am not happy with being ordinary, being ordinary would be like an abyss to me, I want to go out. Even if I cannot succeed, I want to try, if I do not try hard enough, I will not be happy."
Thus, the miniman continued building his ladder.
The third year passed.
Boundless Forest Samsara's ladder was extremely tall.
She stood at the peak and looked down.
Only to see that clouds were blocking her vision.
She wanted to look at the miniman's ladder, but she could barely see it, it was less than one ten-thousandth of her ladder.
Boundless Forest Samsara sighed, she felt lonely.
When the wind blew, she shuddered, feeling cold.
"So when I stand at this tall point, not only will I feel lonely, I will also feel cold." Boundless Forest Samsara walked down the ladder and told the miniman about this.
The miniman shook his head: "My ladder is not tall enough, I don't know how you feel."
Boundless Forest Samsara felt bored.
She continued to build the ladder, but the time she spent on it was decreasing.
Strength Gu asked her: "Oh human, why are you not building your ladder?"
Boundless Forest Samsara answered: "The ladder is too tall and cold, I need to rest and regain warmth.
Another year passed.
Boundless Forest Samsara felt extremely bored.
She was still building her ladder, but she was spending less and less time on it.
Strength Gu asked her: "Oh human, why are you not building your ladder?"
Boundless Forest Samsara answered: "The ladder is too tall, when I look down, I get afraid. I need to rest and let my heart calm down."
Another year passed.
Boundless Forest Samsara became even more lazy.
Strength Gu asked her: "Look at the miniman, he has never stopped building his ladder, he is giving it his all. If you continue being lazy, he will surpass you one day."
Boundless Forest Samsara laughed: "How can that be possible? One day of work for me is a month of his. How can he ever surpass me?"
Like this, years passed without stopping.
Finally, one day, the miniman found Boundless Forest Samsara who was resting under a tree, saying to her: "Oh friend, my ladder is at the edge of Ordinary Abyss, tomorrow, I will step out and leave Ordinary Abyss."
Boundless Forest Samsara laughed: "Oh miniman, don't lie to me, this is too funny."
The miniman shook his head, saying seriously: "Grandness and being laughable is merely an inch apart. But I am not laughable anymore, I am grand and can finally leave this Ordinary Abyss. If you do not believe me, watch as I leave."
Thus, the miniman started to climb his ladder.
Boundless Forest Samsara was shocked at this, the miniman was really at the edge of the abyss,he could leave if he continued like this.
Boundless Forest Samsara shouted: "Oh miniman, do you not feel cold?"
The miniman said: "Of course, but I want to build my ladder and climb out of here."
Boundless Forest Samsara shouted again: "Oh miniman, do you not feel lonely?"
The miniman said: "Of course, but I want to build my ladder and climb out of here."
Boundless Forest Samsara shouted again: "Oh miniman, do you not feel afraid?"
The miniman said: "Of course, but I want to build my ladder and climb out of here."
After saying those three lines, a bright light flashed on his body, rapidly forming into a Gu worm.
"My name is Perseverance, oh miniman, thank you for giving me life." Perseverance Gu thanked the miniman.
The miniman laughed: "Great, even though I do not have strength, I have perseverance."
The miniman said as he climbed out of Ordinary Abyss, stepping into the outside world.
He first saw someone.
It was Ren Zu.
The rate of time inside Ordinary Abyss was different from the outside world.
Ren Zu sighed as he saw the miniman: "This is perseverance Gu? What a pity, if I had it, I would have been able to conquer Reverse Flow River."

Chapter 1277: Meeting of Ma and Zhao
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Flood Extremity believed that perseverance Gu was only a Gu worm found in The Legends of Ren Zu.
But Black Extremity shook his head, saying: "Perseverance Immortal Gu is not a fictitious Gu worm. In fact, it has existed before."
Flood Extremity was shocked: "How did I not know that?"
"This was something I had learned while traveling Northern Plains. The person who refined perseverance Immortal Gu was the famous Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable. He was the one who entered the door of life and death and brought Reverse Flow River out into the world. He was the first owner of Reverse Flow River."
"Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable! Is that so? Then why is Reverse Flow River in the hands of Old Ancestor Xue Hu?" Flood Extremity asked.
Black Extremity shook his head: "I am unsure about the details regarding this… what is going on?!"
At this moment, there was a loud sound.
Inside the fate reversing refinement sub formation, some mortal Gu had exploded.
The pillar of light that the sub formation emitted also shrunk by ten percent.
This sudden change disrupted their conversation, Flood Extremity became nervous: "A portion of the Gu formation was destroyed, aren't you repairing it?"
Black Extremity shook his head: "This situation is within my expectations, even the fate reversing refinement sub formation cannot endure the might of Reverse Flow River, it will be destroyed. And this formation has a weakness, once it activates, it cannot be repaired, unless the entire formation stops functioning."
Flood Extremity frowned deeply: "Reverse Flow River has not reached here yet, what do we do now?"
Black Extremity smiled: "Don't worry, I created this formation, how could I not see this coming? In fact, there are benefits in destroying the Gu formation."
Flood Extremity was confused: "The Gu formation being destroyed has benefits?"
"Every ten percent of destruction would reduce our influence on Reverse Flow River by ten percent. The back part of Reverse Flow River will return to normal and stop being drawn to us. That way, it will display its original might and wash out everyone and everything behind." Black Extremity explained.
"Incredible!" Flood Extremity clapped and praised, his eyes were shining: "Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun are all at the front, that means, they will be the last to be washed away."
Black Extremity nodded: "Precisely."
Inside Reverse Flow River.
"Lord Bi Chen Tian!" Three Central Continent Gu Immortals greeted Bi Chen Tian.
Bi Chen Tian nodded, at this moment, there were five people gathered around him, with the addition of these three and himself, there were nine people.
"Did you see Ma Hong Yun or Zhao Lian Yun?" The Gu Immortals shook their heads.
"Then did you see this person?" Bi Chen Tian described Fang Yuan's appearance and clothing to them.
The Central Continent Gu Immortals looked at each other, one of them said: "I think I saw him, but I did not stop him. I was hiding behind a floating plank, he swam ahead without noticing me."
Bi Chen Tian nodded.
"Lord, this person is not in our information, is he an ally or foe?" Someone asked.
The Central Continent Gu Immortals were very perplexed, because Bi Chen Tian was a grand rank eight Gu Immortal, he would not ask for information about a rank seven Gu Immortal for no reason.
Speaking of which, Fang Yuan's cultivation level was not outstanding. Most of the Central Continent Gu Immortals were rank seven.
But Bi Chen Tian's following words made all of their hearts shake!
"He is a strong foe. If you meet him, be very careful, I am merely on par with him in terms of physical brawling."
The Central Continent Gu Immortals nodded solemnly.
"What do we do now?" Someone asked.
"We have many people with us, we will swim up and get rid of our enemies along Reverse Flow River, that would be the best outcome!" Bi Chen Tian said this as killing intent surged in him.
This was a good tactic indeed.
The Central Continent Gu Immortals were not the match of Old Ancestor Xue Hu and Purple Mountain True Monarch if they fought normally. Right now, they had lost Edge Link Camp, they were completely outclassed.
The sudden change with Reverse Flow River gave them a good chance.
Bi Chen Tian felt that: As long as they could make use of this opportunity, they might be able to get rid of their enemies in Reverse Flow River and obtain victory.
"Hmm? What is going on?" At this moment, a certain water path Gu Immortal among the Central Continent Gu Immortals felt a change in the river water.
Next, these Central Continent Gu Immortals saw that the water of Reverse Flow River around them started to calm down rapidly from a turbulent state.
Finally, the river flow slowed gradually, before starting to have small ripples.
Large amounts of rocks and wild beast corpses, which were flowing along the river currents, were washed away rapidly.
It was five times faster than the speed of flow earlier!
"How can this be?" Some Central Continent Gu Immortals were caught off-guard and were washed away by the river, in the blink of an eye, they were three hundred steps of distance away from Bi Chen Tian.
Bi Chen Tian was the first to react.
"Quick, swim, do not stop for even a moment, Reverse Flow River has returned to its usual state, if we stop for a moment, we will be washed away by the currents." He called out.
Getting Bi Chen Tian's reminder, the remaining Central Continent Gu Immortals reacted and tried to swim earnestly.
"It is so difficult!"
"The water is flowing slowly and smoothly, but it is actually many times harder than the raging tides earlier!"
"These floating logs and corpses are annoying, they are blocking our paths."
The Central Continent Gu Immortals quickly found that it was far more difficult to swim in this river that had returned to normal.
"What is this? The higher we swim up Reverse Flow River, the harder every step is! We need to persevere, we do not need to reach the upper part of the river, as long as we meet enemies, we can kill them. If we kill one rank eight Gu Immortal, we will be able to obtain victory later!" Bi Chen Tian raised the morale.
The Central Continent Gu Immortals cheered in response.
"This way, Reverse Flow River is our opportunity!"
"Lord Bi Chen Tian, look ahead, to the front, the river is extremely turbulent!"
Bi Chen Tian heard this and found something weird.
He frowned.
This was a nightmare.
Swimming in this calm part of Reverse Flow River was much harder than swimming in the strong currents. At this rate, as time passes, when the Central Continent Gu Immortals met the enemies that were washed down by Reverse Flow River, they would already be exhausted and out of stamina!
"Quick, we need to get in front and swim in the turbulent water!" Bi Chen Tian had a grave expression, he gave the most accurate instructions.
The Central Continent Gu Immortals increased their speed in response.
Fang Yuan swam in the river, he continued to pursue Ying Wu Xie, but he could not find any trace.
The river water was turbulent, huge waves were created from time to time. From within these waves, wild beast corpses and countless rocks would flow along them.
The situation in the river was very complex. And most importantly, the river was very wide.
Fang Yuan could not get on high ground for observation, even though he had good eyesight, he could not see much.
However, he had found many Gu Immortals, among which, there were Central Continent Gu Immortals and also Snowy Mountain blessed land's peak lords.
Fang Yuan avoided them all, he did not deal with them.
Fighting these people would waste his time and would not reap any benefits.
"This river is too wide, I might have passed Ying Wu Xie earlier while I was diving, I might be in front of him. This is totally possible!"
But Fang Yuan did not give up.
Because Ying Wu Xie had a higher chance of being in front.
He swam with all his strength, moving agilely in the complex water like a fish. The sovereign immortal body gave him incredible eyesight, stamina, and his recovery speed was on par with rank eight Gu Immortals, and most importantly, he had practiced his own incredible swimming ability.
All these caused him to surpass many Gu Immortals.
In contrast, Bi Chen Tian had to keep searching in the river for the other Central Continent Gu Immortals, he was at the very back.
A leopard fox was swimming in the water, charging at Zhao Lian Yun.
The leopard fox was smaller than regular leopards, but it could swim, thus, even inside Reverse Flow River, it survived.
"Go away!" Mu Ling Lan slapped as he killed the leopard fox which came.
His other arm was grabbing onto Zhao Lian Yun.
Zhao Lian Yun was a false immortal created with a phantom aperture, she had low foundation and barely any dao marks. Without Gu worms, she was as weak as a mortal.
Thankfully, while she was inside Reverse Flow River, the rank seven water path Gu Immortal Mu Ling Lan was around her.
With Mu Ling Lan defending her, Zhao Lian Yun managed to survive until now.
Mu Ling Lan was covered in water path dao marks, he could actually breathe freely in water, he could also swim well, along the way, he protected Zhao Lian Yun and resolved crises, while swimming ahead and bringing her along.
"Quickly look, there is a mound in front." Mu Ling Lan killed the leopard fox and suddenly said this with shining eyes, there was a mound floating ahead in the river.
"This mound is made of float soil, no wonder it can float on water and not sink! We will go rest there!" Mu Ling Lan dragged Zhao Lian Yun along and climbed onto the floating mound with much difficulty.
Zhao Lian Yun was extremely tired, she was barely alive.
Once she got on shore, she laid down on the mound and stopped moving entirely as she rested.
Mu Ling Lan was extremely tired, he was breathing roughly.
"Wait, there's someone on the mound!" Mu Ling Lan suddenly stood up with a ruthless expression.
"Calm down, calm down!" A figure had to walk out of the forest on the mound.
Mu Ling Lan saw this person and became stunned.
Zhao Lian Yun was frozen like a statue.
Because the one who appeared in front of them was Ma Hong Yun!
All of the immortals were in terrible conditions, but Ma Hong Yun was wearing clean clothes as he chewed on a half eaten fruit.
"You are Ma Hong Yun!" Mu Ling Lan shouted in surprise.
Ma Hong Yun took a step back: "Are you also here to capture me?"
Zhao Lian Yun tried her best to get up, as she stood shakily.
She looked at Ma Hong Yun, her throat was moving but no voice came out. As the price for using love Gu earlier, she had been using Gu worms to speak, but inside Reverse Flow River, no Gu worms could be used.
At this moment, Zhao Lian Yun finally saw the lover that she had been thinking of for so long.
She was extremely agitated, she took a step forward.
But at the next moment, she hesitated.
How did she look like now? She was clear in her heart.
She was no longer young, she was an elderly woman. Her hair was white, her face had deep wrinkles, and she was dry like a twig.
In this appearance, could Ma Hong Yun recognize her?
Could she meet her lover in this appearance, could she bear to let him see her like this?
Zhao Lian Yun lost all of her courage.
She lowered her head, she did not dare to look at Ma Hong Yun's eyes.
Zhao Lian Yun was hesitant, but she suddenly heard Ma Hong Yun call out: "You, you are Lady Xiao Yun?"
Zhao Lian Yun's body shook.
She raised her head, only to see that Ma Hong Yun had thrown away the fruit as he ran towards her.
"Lady Xiao Yun, Lady Xiao Yun! I miss you so much!" Ma Hong Yun shouted loudly.
Mu Ling Lan saw this and felt a lot of emotions, he explained: "Fairy Lian Yun became like this because she rushed here from Central Continent to save you."
"Lady Xiao Yun!" Ma Hong Yun grabbed Zhao Lian Yun's hands as he stood before her.
He was also unable to speak, his words were choked in his throat.
At this moment, Zhao Lian Yun felt: This was truly immense bliss. All of her sacrifices were worth it!

Chapter 1278: Dog Tail Life Extending Ferret
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Boom!
A loud sound was heard in the fate reversing refinement sub formation.
Flood Extremity was no longer surprised, after taking a glance, he looked away.
During this period, the Gu formation's pillar of light had shrunken by fifty percent.
"This Gu formation is quite interesting." Right at this time, a voice entered Flood Extremity's ears.
"Who is it?!" Flood Extremity was shocked, his Gu Immortal aura burst out as he prepared to use his powerful methods.
"Little one, don't be afraid, and don't make a move." The voice said again.
At this moment, Flood Extremity could not move.
He felt like he was in a frozen river.
This person was powerful beyond imagination. He was a rank seven Gu Immortal, one of Longevity Heaven's Eight Extremities, but he could not react before he was suppressed completely!
"You are the descendant of master, as long as you do not attack me, I will not eat you. Hehehe." The voice said again.
Next, Flood Extremity saw a huge, hill-like beast revealing its figure in front of him.
This was a four legged beast with purple fur.
It looked like a ferret.
It was covered in shiny purple fur, its eyes were shining with a purple crystal-like color.
The most eye catching thing was its tail.
This was not a ferret tail, but a dog tail.
A giant ferret with a dog tail?
Flood Extremity was stunned, before he thought of an existence.
Indeed, at the next moment, South Desolation Immortal's letter came from an information path Gu worm in his immortal aperture — he could not leave now, this giant beast was sent here to help, it would deal with any enemy who dares to obstruct Longevity Heaven!
"You, you are the dog tail life extending ferret? Ancestor Giant Sun's steed?" Flood Extremity stammered.
The giant beast nodded before opening its mouth, speaking: "Stop calling me a steed, I have my own name too. I am Mao Li Qiu, you can call me Grandpa Mao."
"Mao, Grandpa Mao!" At the other end, Black Extremity was also tongue-tied, he was still in great shock.
"Okay, forget about this Gu formation. Let's go to Reverse Flow River and retrieve Ma Hong Yun and that love Gu!" The dog tail life extending ferret, Mao Li Qiu, slashed with its claws.
Intense winds blew, countless Gu worm auras were exposed, forming an immortal killer move.
The fate reversing refinement sub formation that Black Extremity had created with much difficulty broke apart, turning into rubble.
"This?!" Black Extremity's eyes almost popped out.
"Stop stammering, is it very fun to disrupt my sleep? Quickly finish this business, your Grandpa Mao has to go back to sleep!"
The giant ferret, Mao Li Qiu, said this as it breathed out deeply.
This breath flew rapidly, tying up Flood Extremity and Black Extremity.
The giant ferret jumped and its huge body flew into the sky.
Beside it, Black Extremity and Flood Extremity were pulled along by the special breath, going towards Reverse Flow River.
"What is going on?" The sudden change in Reverse Flow River affected all of the Gu Immortals in it.
After an intense change, the entirety of Reverse Flow River calmed down, the river water became smooth flowing and had small ripples in it.
"Reverse Flow River went back to normal?" Fang Yuan's eyes shone brightly, he felt the pressure intensifying in the river.
There was a large amount of junk unable to move on their own, they were washed down by Reverse Flow River.
Seeing this, at once, many Gu Immortals chose to go downstream and leave Reverse Flow River by getting to the end.
This was the only way to get out of Reverse Flow River.
"The situation is not looking good." Fang Yuan had not found Ying Wu Xie and gang, he continued moving forward.
In the sky, Bi Chen Tian and the other Central Continent Gu Immortals were looking down at Reverse Flow River.
These people were originally trying to swim forward, but Reverse Flow River kept returning to normal as the sub formation was destroyed.
Bi Chen Tian saw that this was not going well, he could continue, but the other Gu Immortals could not, they went downstream and left Reverse Flow River, flying towards the sky after they got out.
But this way, they became outsiders, any methods used on Reverse Flow River would be reflected back at them.
Bi Chen Tian soon found Fang Yuan, who was inside Reverse Flow River.
"Our fight can be disregarded, as long as you hand over affection Immortal Gu." Bi Chen Tian spoke to Fang Yuan.
"This is the rank seven Gu Immortal who could fight evenly with Lord Bi Chen Tian? How did he cultivate?" The other Central Continent Gu Immortals looked at Fang Yuan with shock and curiosity.
Fang Yuan laughed coldly, he ignored Bi Chen Tian.
One of the Central Continent Gu Immortals flew into a rage: "Such audacity! You dare to disrespect Lord Bi Chen Tian!"
Bi Chen Tian snorted coldly: "You think I can do nothing to you if you hide inside the river?"
"Before I get washed away, you should worry about yourselves. This is not Central Continent." Fang Yuan replied fearlessly.
Bi Chen Tian's key concern was pointed out, his face turned cold as he ignored Fang Yuan, he started to move in the upstream direction.
Fang Yuan was a small matter. What was important was Zhao Lian Yun and Ma Hong Yun.
Because the dog tail life extending ferret destroyed the sub formation, the complex situation at the surface of the river became easily observable now.
The junk was all swept away, only some Gu Immortals were left in the river.
Mu Ling Lan, Zhao Lian Yun, and Ma Hong Yun were at the front.
The second group were Old Ancestor Xue Hu, Purple Mountain True Monarch, and Lady Wan Shou.
The third group was rank eight Gu Immortal Wei Ling Yang, as well as some other Central Continent Gu Immortals.
The fourth group was Ying Wu Xie and gang, as well as some Snowy Mountain peak lords.
And the fifth group was Fang Yuan alone. When he was swept into Reverse Flow River, he was too far from Snowy Mountain blessed land, thus, he had fallen to the back of the river, even though he tried to swim upstream, the others were also working hard.
Honestly speaking, the situation was quite interesting.
"Quick, swim forward!" Mu Ling Lan looked at Old Ancestor Xue Hu and Purple Mountain True Monarch who were close behind, he spoke anxiously.
The floating mound earlier was already swept away, Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun had to swim forward to avoid getting captured by Old Ancestor Xue Hu.
The second group of Old Ancestor Xue Hu and Purple Mountain True Monarch were chasing after Ma Hong Yun to capture him.
The third group including Wei Ling Yang also did not want to give up. As long as they stalled Old Ancestor Xue Hu and Purple Mountain True Monarch, Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun would have the chance to go downstream and the crisis would be resolved.
Ying Wu Xie and the Snowy Mountain demonic path Gu Immortals also had the same idea as Wei Ling Yang, they were at the back but there was still hope.
"Quickly look, to the back!" Hei Lou Lan suddenly alerted.
Ying Wu Xie turned back and looked, his heart jumped: "He actually chased us to this place!"
This river was calm now, there was no junk left, everyone's field of vision was clear, thus Ying Wu Xie easily saw Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan still did not know about Purple Mountain True Monarch.
Even though he could see Old Ancestor Xue Hu at this position.
Purple Mountain True Monarch was a miniman, he was the size of a thumb and was sitting on Old Ancestor Xue Hu's shoulder, it was hard to see him clearly.
Fang Yuan had no idea what happened in Snowy Mountain blessed land. Even though he met Bi Chen Tian, he had only understood that a battle of rank eights happened here, as for who had the advantage, would Bi Chen Tian tell him?
Thus, Fang Yuan had always thought that killing Ying Wu Xie and gang would resolve his crisis regarding Shadow Sect.
Therefore, after seeing Ying Wu Xie, his eyes shone as he swam even more quickly towards Ying Wu Xie.
"He is our enemy?" A snowy mountain peak lord sneered at Fang Yuan: "Let's work together and kill him! Outside, the situation is complex with countless Gu Immortal methods available. But here, he is all alone, he is just one person!"
Once he said that, the Gu Immortals were ready to attack.
Ying Wu Xie was moved too.
If they could kill Fang Yuan now, and obtain his sovereign immortal body, it would be a great opportunity.
"However… the sovereign immortal body is not easy to deal with. I should meet up with Lord Purple first. Our main body is still in the dream realm after all!" Ying Wu Xie thought about it and decided to play safe.
"Come with us, we will meet up with Ancestor Xue Hu. He is not important, our biggest enemy is Central Continent." Ying Wu Xie did not expose Fang Yuan's foundation, he successfully diverted the attention of the Snowy Mountain Gu Immortals.
"That's right, let's meet with old ancestor!" Snowy Mountain's peak lords could not go downstream now.
Because a rank eight Central Continent Gu Immortal was in the sky. Once they left Reverse Flow River, they would need to face off against a rank eight Gu Immortal, they had to stay in Reverse Flow River for now.
But soon, they realized that it was not easy to stay in Reverse Flow River.
In this special environment, if they could not move forward, the river would push them backwards.
In the past, Ren Zu had failed in Reverse Flow River, he had failed at the final step before success.
Nobody thought that they could achieve what Ren Zu did. But in this situation, every wave of Gu Immortals had their own reasons to remain in Reverse Flow River!
"Ma Hong Yun… you cannot escape." Old Ancestor Xue Hu had a cold gaze as Lady Wan Shou smiled continuously.
"Quick, quick. They are catching up." Mu Ling Lan and Ma Hong Yun dragged Zhao Lian Yun along from either side.
"Fairy Lian Yun, hang on, we are going to reach soon!" Wei Ling Yang shouted.
Ying Wu Xie was behind them, waiting to strike. He felt a headache regarding Fang Yuan at the back, he needed to move forward more quickly, to fight for more time later.
"Ying Wu Xie!" Fang Yuan was shortening his distance with Ying Wu Xie.
Soon, the first person to be unable to persevere appeared.
It was one of Snowy Mountain's peak lords.
He had used up all his stamina, he floated backwards with a pale expression.
Fang Yuan avoided him.
Now was not the time for that, if he stopped for a moment, he would be pushed backwards as well, even if he killed the enemy, his progress would be greatly affected.
"Be careful!" In the sky, Bi Chen Tian shouted.
"I finally caught up. You little rats." Old Ancestor Xue Hu was already right behind Zhao Lian Yun's group.
Zhao Lian Yun knew that she had no strength left, if this continued, she would only burden Ma Hong Yun.
She gave Ma Hong Yun one last affectionate look, she suddenly mustered her strength and broke free from his grasp, swimming towards Old Ancestor Xue Hu instead.

Chapter 1279: Fervently Approaching Death!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Mu Ling Lan!" Behind Old Ancestor Xue Hu, Wei Ling Yang shouted angrily.
Mu Ling Lan was already resolved, he gritted his teeth, moving even more quickly than Zhao Lian Yun, he pushed the weak Zhao Lian Yun into Ma Hong Yun's arms.
"You have to live well!"
Saying this, he turned around and grabbed Old Ancestor Xue Hu's waist.
Old Ancestor Xue Hu struggled intensely, but he still stop moving forward and was pushed away by the river.
The danger for Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun was averted.
"Quick, quickly go!" Ma Hong Yun held onto Zhao Lian Yun as his heart beat rapidly.
"Meddlesome fool!" Old Ancestor Xue Hu hated Mu Ling Lan to the core, he kicked Mu Ling Lan's chest several times in the water.
His dao marks far surpassed Mu Ling Lan's.
Mu Ling Lan was rank seven, how could he possible match him?
Soon, his bones were broken, he was spitting out blood, dying the water red.
More than ten breaths of time later, Mu Ling Lan could not take it anymore, he stopped breathing as he lost his life.
Seeing that their companion had died like this, the Central Continent Gu Immortals were all anguished.
"Mu Ling Lan, Central Continent will remember your sacrifice, Heavenly Court will remember it!" Wei Ling Yang called out, charging at Old Ancestor Xue Hu.
Old Ancestor Xue Hu was stalled by Mu Ling Lan, he had fallen behind to the third group.
He was immediately attacked by the furious and upset Central Continent Gu Immortals.
"Xue Hu!" Lady Wan Shou was worried about her husband, she quickly went to help him.
Both sides fought for a while, they were pushed backwards and quickly encountered Ying Wu Xie and the others, who were the fourth group.
As a result, a large number of Gu Immortals were fighting in this river, it was a chaotic scene.
Bi Chen Tian and the rest were watching in shock.
Grand Gu Immortals had lost their sagely demeanor, they were fighting in the water like brutish mortals.
But it was too late for Bi Chen Tian to interfere now.
Soon, blood dyed the surroundings as many Gu Immortal corpses flowed down the river.
"Ying Wu Xie!" Fang Yuan joined the group, he had finally arrived.
"Where is our lord?" Ying Wu Xie finally found Old Ancestor Xue Hu amidst the chaos, he asked this loudly.
"Upstream!" Old Ancestor Xue Hu answered.
It turned out that while Old Ancestor Xue Hu and Mu Ling Lan were fighting, Purple Mountain True Monarch had swam upstream to capture Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun.
Precisely because of this, Old Ancestor Xue Hu could fight with the Central Continent Gu Immortals, this was his plan to obstruct the enemies.
Ying Wu Xie got his answer and quickly swam with Hei Lou Lan and the rest, away from the fighting as he went towards Purple Mountain True Monarch.
Fang Yuan called out: "Ying Wu Xie, where are you going?"
Ying Wu Xie sighed, saying: "Tai Bai Yun Sheng."
"All of you leave first!" Tai Bai Yun Sheng shouted, he charged at Fang Yuan with a resolute expression of someone disregarding death.
Fang Yuan was obstructed.
Ying Wu Xie, Hei Lou Lan, and Bai Ning Bing managed to escape.
Bam bam bam!
Fang Yuan's attacks were powerful, Tai Bai Yun Sheng soon had broken bones and fractures.
But Tai Bai Yun Sheng was resolved, he stalled Fang Yuan and grabbed onto him, he even used his teeth to bite and head to slam.
Fang Yuan could not break free for a period of time.
In this urgent situation, he exclaimed: "Old Bai, do you still remember Imperial Court blessed land?"
Tai Bai Yun Sheng was stunned, he exposed a flaw.
Fang Yuan's eyes shined with a ruthless light, his fingers pierced into Tai Bai Yun Sheng's eyes without mercy.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng was heavily injured, blood was pouring out of his eyes.
Fang Yuan used this chance to unleash the finishing blow as Tai Bai Yun Sheng stopped moving entirely.
He was dead.
"Hmph!" Fang Yuan shrugged off Tai Bai Yun Sheng's corpse as he continued to swim, chasing after Ying Wu Xie.
During this period, the groups with Old Ancestor Xue Hu and Wei Ling Yang were engaged in fierce battle, they had finally separated as both sides suffered great losses.
Bi Chen Tian looked at Reverse Flow River from above, he could see the situation clearly.
Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun were still at the lead.
Purple Mountain True Monarch was at the second position.
Ying Wu Xie and the other two were the third.
Fang Yuan was fourth.
Old Ancestor Xue Hu and Lady Wan Shou were the fifth.
Wei Ling Yang and the other Central Continent Gu Immortals were sixth.
Bi Chen Tian was anxious, the Central Continent immortals were in an extremely disadvantageous position.
Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun were in front, but there was no longer anyone protecting them.
The second placed Purple Mountain True Monarch was an enemy, while Ying Wu Xie and gang were vicious members of Shadow Sect. The fifth placed Old Ancestor Xue Hu and Lady Wan Shou were also out of the question.
Without any choice, Bi Chen Tian could only approach Fang Yuan.
"You just need to protect the lives of those two in front, you will obtain the friendship of Central Continent and Heavenly Court!!"
"You can request anything, do you want Immortal Gu or cultivation resources, will my great Central Continent not be able to satisfy you?"
"As long as you help to protect Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun!"
"This again…" Fang Yuan heard this and sighed internally.
He thought of Imperial Court blessed land.
Back then, he had to make a choice too. If he chose to save Ma Hong Yun, it would have been extremely profitable for him!
And now, the situation was quite similar to back then in Imperial Court blessed land.
But Fang Yuan remained silent, he only continued swimming. He was bent on eliminating Ying Wu Xie and gang now, forget about Ma Hong Yun, he could bugger off.
But what followed was a long stalemate.
The further one traveled up Reverse Flow River, the harder it was to keep going.
Stamina and dao marks were secondary, it was a test of one's will.
"Lady Xiao Yun, we need to persevere, I believe that there will be a chance!" Ma Hong Yun continued to speak, encouraging Zhao Lian Yun.
The river water was icy cold, but inside Ma Hong Yun's embrace, Zhao Lian Yun felt immeasurable warmth.
This warmth was a huge driving force for her, she gritted her teeth and persevered on.
Behind them was Purple Mountain True Monarch.
"Ma Hong Yun! Zhao Lian Yun! Hehe! As long as I catch you, I will be able to restrain Old Ancestor Xue Hu. At that point, I will get him to deal with Southern Border's super dream realm." Purple Mountain True Monarch was planning deeply.
"Protect Lord Purple!" Ying Wu Xie was worried.
"Dear, dear, wake up!" Something happened to Old Ancestor Xue Hu's group.
Lady Wan Shou had fainted. She was heavily injured in the battle, after enduring and persisting for a while, she fainted.
Old Ancestor Xue Hu was flustered.
He gritted his teeth and stopped swimming, he carried Lady Wan Shou as Reverse Flow River swept them away.
Wei Ling Yang allowed him to leave, they wanted to have one less competitor.
Old Ancestor Xue Hu quickly left Reverse Flow River, he used his Gu Immortal methods to stabilize Lady Wan Shou's condition.
Bi Chen Tian was nervous, he could not deal with Old Ancestor Xue Hu alone. The Gu Immortals around him, without any Immortal Gu Houses, could not interfere in a rank eight fight!
"I will kill you first!" Old Ancestor Xue Hu carefully placed the unconscious Lady Wan Shou in his immortal aperture.
Next, he charged at Bi Chen Tian.
He was the number one person in Northern Plains' demonic path, he was a ruthless person, how could he give up this chance to deal with these weakened opponents?
"It's only death at worst." Bi Chen Tian was resolved to die, he neither evaded nor dodged.
But right when the two rank eights were about to fight, they felt an intensely strong aura.
The hill-like dog tailed purple ferret carried Flood Extremity and Black Extremity, as they arrived at the bank of Reverse Flow River.

Outside Reverse Flow River.
Old Ancestor Xue Hu wanted to kill Bi Chen Tian, but at this moment, the dog tail life extending ferret, Mao Li Qiu, appeared.
"Why is this ferret here? Doesn't it stay inside its cave all the time?" Old Ancestor Xue Hu was surprised.
This ferret had a huge origin, it was Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's steed. Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had subdued it in his later years, his motive was clearly to find a lifespan extension method.
The dog tail life extending ferret's dao marks were very numerous and mystical.
As it grew older, the dog tail would shrink as its lifespan decreased. When its lifespan nears its end, the tail would vanish.
Thus, whenever it sensed that its life was ending, it would devour an immemorial desolate beast dog. After consuming it, the dog tail life extending ferret would gain the lifespan of this immemorial desolate beast dog, its tail would grow out and it would continue living.
Precisely so, even after Giant Sun Immortal Venerable died, the dog tail life extending ferret still lived until now.
This giant ferret was enlightened by Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, it gained intelligence and learned to use Gu worms and even immortal killer moves.
It was an immemorial desolate beast to begin with, now that it had wisdom and could use Immortal Gu and other methods, it had unfathomably deep strength.
Even Old Ancestor Xue Hu was wary of it.
Old Ancestor Xue Hu had wanted to deal with Bi Chen Tian, but with the dog tail life extending ferret's appearance, he discarded this plan.
"To think that Mao Li Qiu would save me!" Bi Chen Tian let out a breath of air, he relaxed slightly.
He also knew about the dog tail life extending ferret.
Immemorial desolate beasts of this level were too famous. It was like Central Continent's Huo Kong, or that Evil Dragon Di Zang Sheng, they were unique existences, their battle strength was at the peak of rank eight!
Old Ancestor Xue Hu quickly focused his gaze on the two Longevity Heaven Gu Immortals accompanying the dog tail life extending ferret.
Old Ancestor Xue Hu's gaze focused on Black Extremity.
He chuckled coldly: "As expected, Sun Ming Lu, you are a member of Longevity Heaven! To think that Longevity Heaven had targeted me since so long ago."
He had already made a guess earlier, now that he saw Black Extremity, it was confirmed.
Black Extremity greeted Old Ancestor Xue Hu respectfully: "Old Ancestor Xue Hu, we meet again. I am one of Longevity Heaven's Eight Extremities, Black Extremity, Sun Ming Lu is simply a name I use when I travel in Northern Plains."
Old Ancestor Xue Hu chuckled coldly again, but he did not attack.
Because Black Extremity was beside the dog tail life extending ferret.
It was not like Old Ancestor Xue Hu feared Mao Li Qiu, but he knew that the crux of this issue was not the three of them, it was the events in Reverse Flow River.
With the situation in Reverse Flow River unconfirmed, it was not time to fight, a third party would benefit if he did.
After Black Extremity and Old Ancestor Xue Hu exchanged greetings, their gazes became fixed on Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun.
"Grandpa Mao, the two at the front are our targets!" Black Extremity reminded the dog tail life extending ferret.
Bi Chen Tian frowned slightly.
Old Ancestor Xue Hu's cold laughter became even colder.
But Mao Li Qiu nonchalantly curled its lips, its beast face made a very human-like expression: "No rush! Wait for them to decide a victor. We are outside Reverse Flow River, we can use Gu worms but we cannot affect the river itself. Any method used on Reverse Flow River will be reflected back upon us, why would I waste my effort? Reverse Flow River would only lose some water when it reflects an attack, this river is huge, how long would it take to dry out this river? I would not do something so time consuming and pointless!"
Saying this, it paused before saying: "Don't worry, these people can't continue for long. The further they swim, the more it tests their will. Hehe, they are swimming in Reverse Flow River, any thoughts of persevering in this river would be reversed by the river, any sort of determination would waver, they would eventually be washed away by the river."
The three rank eight existences were wary of each other, they did not fight.
Outside the river, there was a deadlock, the Gu Immortals thus looked towards Reverse Flow River.
Inside the river.
Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun were still at the lead.
Purple Mountain True Monarch was second, he was inching closer to them.
Ying Wu Xie, Bai Ning Bing, and Hei Lou Lan were third.
Next was Fang Yuan.
The fifth position was originally Old Ancestor Xue Hu and Lady Wan Shou, but earlier, Old Ancestor Xue Hu had given up the contest for the sake of his unconscious wife, he went outside the river.
Thus, the fifth position went to Heavenly Court's rank eight rule path Gu Immortal Wei Ling Yang, and several Central Continent Gu Immortals.
Purple Mountain True Monarch moved with all four limbs, flapping his thin wings at times.
Ma and Zhao were already close by.
"I need to persevere and capture these two, I will be able to control Old Ancestor Xue Hu and deal with Central Continent!"
Purple Mountain True Monarch was filled with determination.
Reverse Flow River's water continued to assault the will in his mind.
He shrugged his head, trying to get rid of his hesitation.
"Ninety thousand years ago, heaven's will attacked. I deduced with all my effort and found a trace of hope for survival. By sealing myself, I turned into a purple-gold rock. But to think that heaven's will would still harm me and I would go into a crazy state at times."
"These last hundred thousand years, I woke up many times and experienced great danger, I only escaped from danger and survived with Shadow Sect's help."
"Right now, my main body refined sovereign immortal aperture, but it was stolen from us."
"My main body is stuck in the dream realm, being in great danger."
"The great Shadow Sect is just a shadow of its past, I cannot fail in this situation, I need to persevere, I need to capture Zhao and Ma."
"I am about to succeed!"
Purple Mountain True Monarch's eyes were shining, he was extremely close to the two.
"Oh no, Purple Mountain True Monarch is about to reach Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun!" The Central Continent Gu Immortals were shocked.
Old Ancestor Xue Hu and Ying Wu Xie had expressions filled with joy.
"What do we do?" Flood Extremity shouted.
"Nothing!" Mao Li Qiu rolled its eyes: "Unless they come out."
"Ah——!" But at this moment, Purple Mountain True Monarch suddenly grabbed his head as he screamed, he struggled intensely as he showed intense pain on his face.
"What is going on?"
"What happened?"
The immortals were perplexed.
"At this very moment, damn it!" Ying Wu Xie internally cursed heaven's will.
At the crucial moment, Purple Mountain True Monarch fell into madness, he went downstream with the currents.
Thankfully, Ying Wu Xie and gang were following Purple Mountain True Monarch as insurance if he went crazy, he quickly grabbed Purple Mountain True Monarch as the four swam upstream together.
Thus, Ma and Zhao escaped from the dangerous situation, they were still in first place.
Purple Mountain True Monarch had fallen behind, becoming second place with Ying Wu Xie and gang.
Third was Fang Yuan.
And fourth was Wei Ling Yang and his Central Continent Gu Immortals.
"Lord Wei Ling Yang, it all depends on you now!" Bi Chen Tian was overjoyed.
The Central Continent Gu Immortals also started cheering.
It was good news to Central Continent that something happened to Purple Mountain True Monarch.
Especially those Gu Immortals who did not know Fang Yuan, they felt that right now, only Central Continent's rank eight Wei Ling Yang was left, even though he was in last place, he could still win!
Wei Ling Yang was gritting his teeth.
The difficulty of swimming was rising, and more importantly, the Reverse Flow River was affecting his every thought.
Any thoughts of persevering and swimming ahead would be obstructed by Reverse Flow River.
Many thoughts were washed away, but there was one thought that was rooted in Wei Ling Yang's mind!
"I need to persevere!"
"I am the only hope left in Central Continent, if we capture Ma Hong Yun and save Zhao Lian Yun, we will be able to return victorious."
"I cannot fail!"
"Central Continent's pride, Heavenly Court's honor, they cannot be lost because of me!!"
Wei Ling Yang swam ahead stably without any hesitation.
The Gu Immortals around him also followed.
These Gu Immortals formed the biggest force in Reverse Flow River, it was eye-catching.
Even the dog tail life extending ferret, Mao Li Qiu, said: "Oh? It seems that Central Continent has a huge advantage. Hmph, Heavenly Court still likes meddling so much, this will not do, Ma Hong Yun is a Northern Plainsman!"
Bi Chen Tian frowned.
He looked at Mao Li Qiu, and Old Ancestor Xue Hu whose face was cold as ice, he was worried: "Even if Wei Ling Yang defeats the competitors and obtains Ma and Zhao, what will happen after he leaves Reverse Flow River?"
Bi Chen Tian thought from all angles, he could not find a way to escape, he could only continue watching.
Time passed by the seconds and minutes.
The situation was still the same in Reverse Flow River.
Ma and Zhao were first.
Ying Wu Xie and gang were second.
Fang Yuan was third.
And Wei Ling Yang and the other Central Continent Gu Immortals were fourth.
The positions did not change, but their mutual distances had evidently shrunk.
"Oh? These people have all lasted until now, strange, why are there so many outstanding people here?" The dog tail life extending ferret, Mao Li Qiu, quipped: "As expected, the great era is coming, in an era which would create a venerable, a great number of geniuses and talented individuals would emerge like a tide."
Bi Chen Tian's eyes were shining too.
He was assessing the Central Continent Gu Immortals, and memorizing their faces.
These people had firm determination, if they grew without any accidents, they surely would be important pillars of each sect!
"Persevere! The mission of protecting Fairy Lian Yun is in my hands, I cannot give up!" Bu Zhen Zi frowned.
"Just like refining Gu, no matter how tough it is, or how unpredictable the results, as long as I persevere, I will be rewarded." Yu Yi Ye Zi encouraged himself.
Shi Zheng Yi had an angry expression: "Lord Mu Ling Lan was sacrificed to protect Fairy Lian Yun, how can I back down? Work harder! Shi Zheng Yi! For the sake of love and justice, you cannot back down!!"
Fang Yuan was expressionless, he stared ahead at Ying Wu Xie: "Such a close relationship, that rank eight miniman Gu Immortal who went crazy must be a member of Shadow Sect. I must kill him, I must eliminate them all! Inside Reverse Flow River, it is the best opportunity for me to eliminate these threats once and for all!"

Reverse Flow River flowed silently.
The further they went ahead, the calmer the river surface.
However, to the swimmers, Reverse Flow River was like a torrential tide, it defied all thoughts of traveling ahead.
Destruction of the body was not scary, destruction of thoughts and the mind was scary.
In the past, even Ren Zu failed in Reverse Flow River. These Gu Immortals were doing the same thing as Ren Zu now.
"Damn it, I cannot continue anymore!" At the next moment, Yu Yi Ye Zi reached his limits, he could not continue anymore, he was washed away by the tides.
And the second Central Continent Gu Immortal, followed by the third.
Shi Zheng Yi gave it his all, but he failed and was washed away by Reverse Flow River.
Bu Zhen Zi was unwilling, but he could only float away.
Bi Chen Tian and the rest were showing ugly expressions as each Central Continent Gu Immortal got eliminated.
Not long after, out of the Central Continent Gu Immortals, only rank eight Wei Ling Yang was left.
Being able to reach rank eight, he truly had shocking willpower!
Wei Ling Yang showed the foundation of a rank eight great expert.
As for those Gu Immortals who were washed away, they were all gathered by Bi Chen Tian and went back to the group, they were not obstructed by Old Ancestor Xue Hu, or the dog tail life extending ferret Mao Li Qiu.
"Why is it that our Gu Immortals were all swept away, but these random people are still inside the river?" Some Central Continent Gu Immortals were very unhappy towards Ying Wu Xie's gang and Fang Yuan.
"At merely rank six, their willpower is truly shocking. But we were all defeated, they will fail soon." A Central Continent Gu Immortal who was just swept out of the river said.
But they did not managed to see Fang Yuan or Ying Wu Xie fail, before a situation occurred around Ma Hong Yun.
Ma Hong Yun, who was swimming forward, choked on the river water as he was nearly swept away.
"Be careful!" Bi Chen Tian couldn't help but call out.
Ying Wu Xie was overjoyed, but soon, Ma Hong Yun continued to swim forward, moving his arms.
It was just a scare.
"It's that girl, hehe, her willpower is shocking too." Mao Li Qiu could see the subtle details.
At the crucial moment, Zhao Lian Yun had helped Ma Hong Yun and stabilized his condition.
The truth was, after Reverse Flow River went back to normal, the river surface became smooth, it did not challenge one's physical stamina as much. Especially towards the upstream, the river became more shallow, but its reflective power against willpower and mental energy became stronger.
"Hong Yun, we cannot be separated anymore."
"Do you know, in order to be with you again, how much have I experienced, how much hardship have I gone through, and how much I have lost?"
Zhao Lian Yun had lost her voice and could not speak, but at this moment, she had no such energy anyway.
Her aged body was unleashing strength that even Zhao Lian Yun could not believe she had.
Zhao Lian Yun had forgotten about her stamina and age, she was purely wanting to be together with Ma Hong Yun.
Even if they were swimming for their lives, and could not even look at each other.
Even if she could not speak, and danger was right behind them.
"No matter how bad the situation is, I need to persevere. Every minute and second that I spend with him, fighting alongside him, regardless of the situation, I have never been so blissful!"
Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun continued moving forward, even though they were slow, the situation was stabilizing.
It was just a scare.
Bi Chen Tian and the other Central Continent Gu Immortals, and even Flood Extremity and Black Extremity, were having their hearts shake from the shock.
Old Ancestor Xue Hu snorted coldly, he did not conceal his disappointment.
The immortals watched Reverse Flow River, every action caused deep emotions to form in their hearts.
Even though some of them were rank eight existences, and even though the rank six and seven Gu Immortals were experts among those with the same cultivation level, elites of their regions.
"Even my immortal zombie body is feeling tired?" Ying Wu Xie smiled bitterly.
Purple Mountain True Monarch was on his head, pulling Ying Wu Xie's hair, he was causing a din as he cried or laughed at times.
"I am just a split soul of the main body, I have not lived for a long time."
"But since coming to life, I knew that I had my own responsibilities!"
"Right now, Lord Purple is crazy, I cannot ignore him, he might choke to death in the river, I am Shadow Sect's only hope."
"Even if I die from exhaustion here, I cannot give up. Only by capturing Zhao Lian Yun and Ma Hong Yun can I stall for time until Lord Purple awakens again!"
His duty was making Ying Wu Xie persevere.
Bai Ning Bing gritted her teeth, her chest was pumping up and down.
"Hehehe," she even laughed lightly, her face was distorted, excitement was in her eyes.
"Exciting!"
"This is truly exciting!"
"In Reverse Flow River, I have experienced a new type of excitement never felt before, this is the road that Ren Zu once walked on!"
"Interesting, this is simply too interesting!!"
"Even if I fail, this trip was worth it. Even if I die, this life was worth it!"
Hei Lou Lan was filled with anger.
"How can I stop here?"
"Mother, I have not avenged you yet!"
"I have not killed that man with my own hands yet!"
"Argh!"
"I need to persevere…"
Hei Lou Lan was trembling, she was showing indomitable willpower.
However, as time passed, some people could not persevere.
"Will my excitement end here?"
"I… have not… taken revenge yet…"
Bai Ning Bing and Hei Lou Lan were out of energy, they were washed away.
But their safety was ensured, Old Ancestor Xue Hu was already waiting for them outside.
This way, there were only six people left in Reverse Flow River.
Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun were still at first place.
Ying Wu Xie and the crazy Purple Mountain True Monarch were second.
Fang Yuan was third.
Wei Ling Yang was fourth.
"There is still hope!" Right now, Old Ancestor Xue Hu's hopes were all on Ying Wu Xie.
As long as Ying Wu Xie captured Ma and Zhao, Old Ancestor Xue Hu's side would gain the initiative, they would be able to threaten Bi Chen Tian and the others, as well as Longevity Heaven's dog tail life extending ferret.
But if Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun were swept away, then everyone would have a chance, a huge battle would occur, it was unclear who would win. It would depend on their strength and also luck.
"Lord Wei Ling Yang, it will depend on you now." Bi Chen Tian thought, he clenched his fists that were full of sweat.
The dog tail life extending ferret was laughing.
Its eyes were staring at the river, thinking of something.
"Ah! The glory of Heavenly Court…" A moment later, Wei Ling Yang sighed out loud as he reached his limits, despite his unwillingness, he was washed away by Reverse Flow River.
Central Continent's Gu Immortals were shocked, they were completely stunned.
Someone screamed in disbelief: "How can this be? Lord Wei Ling Yang is a rank eight Gu Immortal, how could he lose to these people?"
"Swimming in Reverse Flow River has nothing to do with cultivation level, it depends on your willpower." Someone explained.
Central Continent's Gu Immortals were silent, did this mean that the great rank eight Central Continent Gu Immortal, Wei Ling Yang's willpower, was inferior to these people?
Bi Chen Tian slowly spoke: "Don't forget, Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun had rested on the floating mound earlier, according to the information, they even had fruits to eat, when Reverse Flow River engulfed everything, they were at the front, the Gu Immortals behind them also went through many struggles, their stamina and willpower were greatly expended."
The Central Continent Gu Immortals finally realized.
"That's true."
"Even though Lord Wei Ling Yang lost, if they had the same starting point, he would definitely be the victor!"
Because of Bi Chen Tian's words, the Central Continent Gu Immortals' morale stabilized.
Bi Chen Tian was expressionless, his mood was heavy.
"What do we do now?" Bi Chen Tian was hesitant.
The Central Continent group had a huge disadvantage.
The wise choice was to retreat and preserve their strength. They could go to black heaven and try to meet with Myriad Tidal Dragon, using the Immortal Gu House to see if they could turn this around.
There was a third option, it was to stay here and contest for Ma and Zhao with Old Ancestor Xue Hu and the dog tail life extending ferret.
"We should discuss this after Wei Ling Yang returns." This was a huge matter, Bi Chen Tian could not make the decision, he was not the leader, Wei Ling Yang was.
But while they were waiting, another change occurred in Reverse Flow River.
"I… will not give in!" Ying Wu Xie bellowed as he raised his head, but Reverse Flow River engulfed him as he was swept away.
"Is it finally ending! Ying Wu Xie, die!!" Fang Yuan screamed internally, he was waiting for this moment all along.
He collided heavily with Ying Wu Xie.
Both sides were fighting in the water, they stopped advancing.
This way, Fang Yuan and Ying Wu Xie, as well as Purple Mountain True Monarch, could not help but be washed downstream by Reverse Flow River.
Sovereign immortal body versus the strength path immortal zombie.
Undeniably, Ying Wu Xie was at a disadvantage, he was quickly beaten until he suffered bone fractures by Fang Yuan's punches and kicks.
But the immortal zombie body was dead to begin with, its only weakness was the brain. Even the heart was not a weakness.
Fang Yuan had become an immortal zombie for some time, he naturally knew this, but Ying Wu Xie was defending his head, he disregarded the rest of his body and only protected his skull.
Undeniably, this was a wise decision.
Once he stalled for time and Fang Yuan was swept out of Reverse Flow River, Ying Wu Xie would counterattack.
Don't forget, Hei Lou Lan, Bai Ning Bing, and Old Ancestor Xue Hu were already outside the river.
Among everyone here, Fang Yuan was the only one who was truly alone.
He was racing against time!
Fang Yuan wanted to kill Ying Wu Xie and Purple Mountain True Monarch before they got out of Reverse Flow River.
While Ying Wu Xie was stalling for time, trying to survive.
Fang Yuan was not able to do anything to Ying Wu Xie at the moment.

Chapter 1282: Surpassing Ren Zu?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The most important reason was: Fighting in water greatly affected Fang Yuan's ability to attack consecutively.
Because he needed to breathe outside the water at certain intervals.
In this aspect, Fang Yuan was inferior to the dead Mu Ling Lan. He was a water path Gu Immortal, he had special water path dao marks that allowed him to breathe underwater.
On the other hand, the immortal zombie did not need to breathe, as it was dead to begin with.
"Hmph!" Fang Yuan could not attack successfully, he changed his target towards Purple Mountain True Monarch, who was in Ying Wu Xie's arms.
Ying Wu Xie was worried about Purple Mountain True Monarch's safety, he wanted to try and save him.
But Fang Yuan changed his target again, poking at Ying Wu Xie's eyes.
This was a vicious move.
As long as he succeeded, Fang Yuan would be able to stab into Ying Wu Xie's brain and end his life for good.
Ying Wu Xie's heart was jumping, it was too late to defend himself, he fell into despair.
However, a change occurred right at this moment.
Purple Mountain True Monarch suddenly stood up and charged at Fang Yuan's face.
Fang Yuan had the initiative, he could easily defend himself. He grabbed Purple Mountain True Monarch and tried to squeeze his fist and kill Purple Mountain True Monarch.
But Purple Mountain True Monarch had unfathomable capabilities, and was a wisdom path Gu Immortal with deep wisdom path dao mark accumulation, Fang Yuan felt like he was grabbing an eel, it was so slippery, Purple Mountain True Monarch somehow managed to squeeze himself out of his fist.
Purple Mountain True Monarch escaped Fang Yuan's demonic clutches, he moved agilely in the water, his wings gave him more mobility, Fang Yuan actually missed all of his attacks.
Next, Purple Mountain True Monarch flew to Ying Wu Xie and grabbed his shirt, swimming desperately and managing to get free from Fang Yuan.
Ying Wu Xie was shocked and overjoyed, seeing Purple Mountain True Monarch regain clarity in his eyes, he knew that at this crucial moment of life and death, Purple Mountain True Monarch had regained his senses!
"This is great!" Ying Wu Xie was overjoyed, with Purple Mountain True Monarch now clear-headed, they could capture Ma and Zhao again.
"Quickly leave!" Purple Mountain True Monarch carried Ying Wu Xie as they moved downstream, rapidly escaping.
He was tiny but he had great strength.
"Lord Purple!" Ying Wu Xie understood something immediately, as soon, Purple Mountain True Monarch fell into insanity once again.
"Oh!' Ying Wu Xie sighed deeply, he knew why Purple Mountain True Monarch wanted to retreat, because his condition was not stable.
Because of Purple Mountain True Monarch, Fang Yuan could not eliminate Ying Wu Xie.
Furthermore, he was lagging behind.
He was far from Ma and Zhao.
Old Ancestor Xue Hu had an unhappy expression.
Because Ying Wu Xie and Purple Mountain True Monarch left, only three people were left in Reverse Flow River.
They were Ma Hong Yun, Zhao Lian Yun, and Fang Yuan.
"Who is this? He is a Northern Plains Gu Immortal, but he dares to foil my plan?" Old Ancestor Xue Hu had deep killing intent towards Fang Yuan.
Hei Lou Lan was already standing beside Old Ancestor Xue Hu, hearing Old Ancestor Xue Hu's words, her heart jumped.
Fang Yuan clearly had deep enmity with Ying Wu Xie, she had to answer this question now.
Hei Lou Lan was a member of Shadow Sect, at this moment, she could not expose Fang Yuan's true identity, but thankfully, he had another identity, so she said: "He is Liu Guan Yi."
"Liu Guan Yi? The demonic path Gu Immortal who killed Ye Lui Qun Xing and cultivates ancient sword dragon transformation?" Old Ancestor Xue Hu was stunned before replying.
He knew about Liu Guan Yi.
Even though he was refining Gu in Snowy Mountain, he still paid attention to the situation in Northern Plains.
Because the rank eight Gu Immortals in Northern Plains were all obstacles for him in refining Fortune Rivalling Heaven. As for Liu Guan Yi, and Chu Du, Old Ancestor Xue Hu was not too concerned about them.
But to think that this insignificant character was actually foiling his plan at this moment.
"Hahaha, luck is truly on our side." The dog tail life extending ferret laughed loudly, waves of noise billowed.
Bi Chen Tian and Wei Ling Yang had gathered together, Central Continent's Gu Immortals waited solemnly. They had chosen to stay and wait for a chance.
Old Ancestor Xue Hu, Hei Lou Lan, and Bai Ning Bing stood together.
The three parties were all at the starting point, waiting for Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun to be swept away.
"Fairy Lian Yun, Ma Hong Yun, you can come out now, even if us Gu Immortals of Central Continent have to sacrifice our lives, we will defend you." Wei Ling Yang called out.
"Laughable! You Central Continent fellows want to snatch them from me, Grandpa Mao?!" The dog tail life extending ferret, Mao Li Qiu, was furious and spoke in displeasure.
Black Extremity was worried that Mao Li Qiu's scary appearance would frighten Ma Hong Yun, he quickly added: "Ma Hong Yun, you are acknowledged by fortune rivalling heaven Immortal Gu and have Giant Sun's bloodline, you are a member of Longevity Heaven. Longevity Heaven is the origin of our bloodline, it is the grotto-heaven of Ancestor Giant Sun. We are here to bring you home."
Old Ancestor Xue Hu snorted, pressuring Fang Yuan: "Liu Guan Yi, if you can capture Ma and Zhao, I will allow you to become the third peak lord of Snowy Mountain. I, Xue Hu, am one to hold my word, you can rest assured. If you succeed, I will back you up, your future cultivation journey will be smooth sailing."
Hearing this, the other Gu Immortals started to look at Fang Yuan again.
Fang Yuan lost the chance to kill Ying Wu Xie.
There was no other way.
He had tried his best.
But the foundation of rank eight was immense, the advantage of the strength path immortal zombie body in Reverse Flow River and most importantly, Purple Mountain True Monarch's moment of clarity, pushed him towards the abyss of failure.
"I failed again!"
Fang Yuan gritted his teeth.
The situation was horrible for him. Out of the three rank eight existences outside the river, he could only join Old Ancestor Xue Hu.
But Old Ancestor Xue Hu was with the members of Shadow Sect.
"If I leave Reverse Flow River, these three rank eights will attack me. My speed cannot match Hui Feng Zi, even with myriad self and familiar face, the hope of escaping from them is likely very slim."
Fang Yuan was very clear on his current situation.
"However, if I can capture Ma and Zhao, I will have the best bargaining chips. Central Continent and Longevity Heaven will be willing to transact, not to mention Old Ancestor Xue Hu as well, by then, I could use them to help eliminate Shadow Sect!"
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan stared at Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun.
He swam upstream, charging towards the two of them.
Ma and Zhao saw Fang Yuan's movement, they were the only ones ahead of him now, his animosity was obvious.
Ma and Zhao could only grit their teeth and continue swimming.
"Persevere!"
"I have just escaped from Snowy Mountain, I cannot be captured again!"
"There is also Lady Xiao Yun, she became like this because of me, I need to save her!!"
"Thus, I need to persevere."
"Ma Hong Yun, you can do it, work hard!"
Ma Hong Yun gritted his teeth, he desperately swam, even though he was very tired, he had strong driving force in his heart.
Fang Yuan's speed was faster than Ma and Zhao.
But because he had fought with Ying Wu Xie earlier, he was pushed back by Reverse Flow River for some time.
Thus, Ma and Zhao were very safe, unless they could not hold on anymore.
As time passed, this mystical competition was reaching its end.
Outside the river, large numbers of Gu Immortals were observing the three people in Reverse Flow River.
"Hmm?" At this time, Zhao Lian Yun's expression suddenly changed.
While swimming, her legs had touched the ground.
Next, she subconsciously stepped on the ground and stood up from Reverse Flow River, her head and shoulders was exposed above the water.
This change made both her and Ma Hong Yun extremely joyful.
"How could this happen?" Flood Extremity was extremely shocked.
The dog tail life extending ferret yawned: "Are you ignorant! Upstream in Reverse Flow River, it gets shallower and shallower, did you people not read The Legends of Ren Zu? Back then, Ren Zu wanted to walk out of Reverse Flow River, he failed at the last step."
"So it is like this!" Mao Li Qiu spoke loudly, the Central Continent Gu Immortals finally realized it.
"Unknowingly, the two of them have already reached the end."
"Look, they are only a hundred steps away from the shore."
"Does this mean Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun will be able to break the record and achieve what Ren Zu could not do, forcefully getting out of Reverse Flow River from the front?!"
"That might not be, Ren Zu had swam from the bottom of the river, Ma and Zhao had a much easier time."
"Even so, this is a grand feat!"
"That's right, their willpower is simply shocking!!"
The Gu Immortals were all discussing this.
Even Mao Li Qiu was moved: "This is true, Ma Hong Yun is really something! He might be able to charge out of Reverse Flow River. Hehe."
Black Extremity and Flood Extremity looked at each other, the former said arrogantly: "As expected of the person chosen by fortune rivalling heaven Immortal Gu."
Fang Yuan was still swimming, trying to reach them, when Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun were already walking in Reverse Flow River.
Almost all the Gu Immortals were looking at Ma and Zhao.
The immortals wanted to know if these two could break the record of human history, and in a sense, surpass Ren Zu and walk out of Reverse Flow River from the front!
One step at a time.
Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun supported each other, as they walked forward shakily but with determination.
They were extremely tired, their bodies were numb, but they still persevered.
Almost every step, their bodies would shake like tree branches in the wind. It would not be strange if any of them fainted at the very next moment.
But in this condition, they continued to advance.
This situation created a huge impact on these immortals' hearts.
"What sort of willpower is this!"
"Is this the power of love?"
"The two of them are supporting each other through thick and thin, and are walking side by side. Regardless of the result, I feel deep admiration towards the two of them."
The river water's turbulence gradually stopped, as Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun finally approached the end of the river, everyone held their breaths in anticipation.

Chapter 1283: Immemorial Secrets of Reverse Flow River
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Am I going to fail…" Fang Yuan was still swimming, seeing this, his heart sank: "No, until the final moment, I still have a chance, I cannot give up!"
"The final step!" Bi Chen Tian cried out.
The immortals did not dare to breathe loudly, they were nervous, staring at this grand moment.
"Grandpa Mao, get ready to save Ma Hong Yun, we will fight for them the moment they get out!" Black Extremity transmitted, reminding the dog tail life extending ferret.
But the latter replied: "No need."
"Grandpa Mao, what do you mean?" Black Extremity was anxious.
Because now, Ma Hong Yun was holding Zhao Lian Yun's hand, taking the final step.
His left leg was still in Reverse Flow River, but right now, the river water was not even at the sole of his left foot. Meanwhile, his right foot was already in the air, about to step out of the river.
At this moment, nobody could stop Ma Hong Yun, unless Zhao Lian Yun went crazy or if Ma Hong Yun gave up.
But none of these happened.
Ma Hong Yun took a step forward!
Ping.
With a soft sound, water splattered.
He stepped on water.
"Why is there water?" Ma Hong Yun was stunned, Zhao Lian Yun was also dazed.
They saw clearly that when Ma Hong Yun took the final step, the river water also moved forward by a little.
Thus, Ma Hong Yun was still in Reverse Flow River.
"How can this be?" Ma Hong Yun could not believe it, he gritted his teeth and took a second step.
This time, a similar thing happened, Reverse Flow River moved ahead again, causing him to remain in the river.
The immortals were shocked.
How could Reverse Flow River do this?
This was simply too shameless!
"Hahaha!" Mao Li Qiu suddenly laughed out loud: "This is too fun, this is too fun! Look at your faces, hahaha, this is too funny, too funny."
The immortals' expressions changed.
Black Extremity understood something after recalling Mao Li Qiu's earlier words, he realized at once that Mao Li Qiu was sure Ma Hong Yun could not step out of Reverse Flow River, that was why it was so calm and did not try to snatch them.
"Grandpa Mao, what is going on?" Flood Extremity was impatient, he asked curiously.
"Hahaha, you fools, look at your faces!" Mao Li Qiu was laughing as his claws slammed on the ground, he was extremely overjoyed.
"Reverse Flow River itself is like this!"
"It has upstream and downstream parts, but it is impossible to try and forcefully leave the river from upstream. Because Reverse Flow River has no end. Every step you take at the final stretch of the river would just create a new extension of the river."
"During the immemorial era, Ren Zu wanted to save his son, but fate Gu dictated the life and death of all beings. How can a dead person have a second life? That was against the rules of heaven and earth, thus, wisdom Gu did not tell Ren Zu that there was such a mystical aspect in Reverse Flow River."
"Hahaha, this is too funny, to think that we would encounter something so funny!"
Mao Li Qiu said this as it laughed maniacally, it even rolled on the ground, patting its tummy.
The immortals' expressions completely changed.
This was an immemorial secret.
Everyone was hearing it for the first time.
"This means that in the legends, wisdom Gu entrapped Ren Zu?"
"Ren Zu failed at the final step, but the truth is there was no final step. Because Reverse Flow River is endless to begin with."
"This is a scheme. Wisdom Gu specially set this trap!"
"Wait, does that mean that Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun are trapped inside Reverse Flow River forever?"
Someone said that and reminded everyone.
The immortals turned their gazes towards Reverse Flow River.
But this time, they paid no attention to Ma and Zhao, they were looking at Fang Yuan who was not far behind.
Fang Yuan!
He did not give up. As a result of his perseverance, there was a huge opportunity now!
"This Liu Guan Yi was not swept away, he is still persevering, he is very close to Ma and Zhao now!"
"That means with his speed, he can definitely catch up to Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun?"
"Liu Guan Yi has immense battle strength, the battle earlier states everything. He had fought Lord Bi Chen Tian evenly in Reverse Flow River!"
The other Gu Immortals were all eliminated!
Only Fang Yuan, Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun were left.
Right now, even if the Gu Immortals outside Reverse Flow River wanted to catch up to them, there was no time. And more importantly, they were all eliminated, all of their mental energy regarding swimming upstream had been consumed, they had no determination to swim in Reverse Flow River anymore for this period of time.
"Damn it, the only hope now is that Liu Guan Yi will overly exert himself?" Bi Chen Tian thought about it, his forehead was full of sweat.
He suddenly reminded Ma and Zhao, "Walk slowly, don't rush, as long as you maintain your current speed, you can stay in Reverse Flow River!"
Bi Chen Tian had fought with Fang Yuan, he knew about Fang Yuan's immense strength when fighting in Reverse Flow River!
On this point, Ying Wu Xie, who had just escaped from Reverse Flow River, could prove it with his injuries. He had Purple Mountain True Monarch's help and was an immortal zombie, but he was still one step away from dying.
Thus, with Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun on Central Continent's side, they should avoid meeting with Fang Yuan.
They needed to stall for time until Fang Yuan could no longer persevere.
This was Central Continent's only hope of victory!
But Fang Yuan continued moving ahead, he was not fast, but compared to the turtle-like speed of Ma and Zhao, he was like a rocket.
Not long after, he also stood on the riverbed, he was just a hundred steps away from Ma and Zhao.
Old Ancestor Xue Hu suddenly spoke: "Very good, Liu Guan Yi, capture the two of them, you can ask for any request from me. Right now, you are wanted by both Liu tribe and Ye Lui tribe, but if you hand them to me, I will be your ally! Anyone who tries to deal with you will have to face me, Xue Hu!"
Wei Ling Yang was stunned, he also spoke: "Liu Guan Yi, we are Central Continent's ten great sects, as well as Heavenly Court's members. If you can protect them, you can join Central Continent, we can modify your immortal aperture and let you adapt to Central Continent's heaven and earth qi! You will become a true Central Continent Gu Immortal! After this merit, Central Continent will not disappoint you, whatever Old Ancestor Xue Hu can give you, we can give you several times that, or even tens of times as many benefits to you."
"Hmph! Liu Guan Yi, even though you do not have the Huang Jin bloodline, as long as you protect both Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun, and hand them to Longevity Heaven, we can make an exception and allow you to become our external supreme elder! Joining Longevity Heaven will grant you unthinkable benefits. You will be in Northern Plains' righteous path and not demonic path. Not only will you no longer be wanted by anyone, all the Huang Jin tribes will welcome you." Flood Extremity also said in response.

Chapter 1284: Ma Hong Yun's Death
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
This was indeed a funny situation.
All three sides gave Fang Yuan attractive offers.
Fang Yuan's position was too advantageous, if he succeeded in this attempt, regardless of which side he joined, he would gain great benefits.
However, Fang Yuan did not respond.
He had no spare energy to speak.
He stepped on the riverbed as he stood up and walked ahead.
He knew that talking was pointless, only by capturing Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun could he qualify to make conditions and negotiate with the three forces outside.
The distance was shrinking.
The people outside Reverse Flow River were watching Fang Yuan's movements, some were speaking and trying to raise their offers.
But there was something strange.
Nobody said anything to threaten Fang Yuan!
Because everyone knew that Fang Yuan's public identity, Liu Guan Yi, was someone who could kill Ye Lui Qun Xing, he had outstanding battle strength and even dared to offend Liu tribe, he was a vicious and lawless person. Threatening such a person would only have negative consequences.
"I must live, I want to be together with Hong Yun!" Zhao Lian Yun sobbed, she chanted in her heart, every step was difficult for her, she was inching forward slowly.
"I am here, I am right here. Don't be afraid, Xiao Yun, I will protect you…" Ma Hong Yun was pale as paper, he was holding Zhao Lian Yun's arm as his vision turned dark, every step he took, he felt an assault of intense dizziness, he felt that he would collapse at any moment.
"Where are you two going?" Fang Yuan's voice came from behind Ma Hong Yun.
Ma and Zhao shook, they turned around.
Fang Yuan's hands were already on the shoulders of both Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun.
"No—!" At this moment, Ma Hong Yun shouted loudly, pushing Zhao Lian Yun away as he charged at Fang Yuan.
But how could Fang Yuan allow Ma Hong Yun to succeed?
Earlier, he failed to deal with Ying Wu Xie and Purple Mountain True Monarch, Fang Yuan was already furious. Dealing with Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun, a mortal and a false immortal, it was too easy.
After some dazzling moves that made Ma Hong Yun's head spin, the two were subdued by Fang Yuan in turn, they were carried in each of his arms, unable to move.
Ma and Zhao reacted, struggling intensely. But at this moment, Fang Yuan's cold voice spoke: "Move and I will kill the person you love!"
Instantly, Ma and Zhao shuddered, they looked at Fang Yuan with immense fear.
Fang Yuan's words targeted their greatest weakness.
Fang Yuan let out a breath of air, he carried these two captives as he walked forward.
In this dangerous situation, Fang Yuan had finally found a way to survive.
He looked outside the river, saying: "We can negotiate now!"
"Hahaha, lad, you are quite good. You are like me back in the day, we can talk it through!" Old Ancestor Xue Hu laughed.
"Don't be rash, Central Continent can satisfy your needs." Wei Ling Yang also said.
"Boring." Mao Li Qiu pouted, lying on the ground as it wagged its tail, relaxing.
Black Extremity smiled bitterly: "Liu Guan Yi, just tell us what you want… hmm!"
At this moment, a change occurred.
Ma Hong Yun suddenly stopped breathing!
He was dead!!
The immortals were shocked, there was pure silence.
At once, even Fang Yuan was shocked.
"I did not exert any strength. Oh wait, Ma Hong Yun died of exhaustion! He carried Zhao Lian Yun as they traveled in the river, he was completely overexerting himself, surpassing his limits. Eventually, not only was he out of stamina, he was also drained of mental energy. After I caught him, his body relaxed and he died immediately."
Fang Yuan quickly understood.
This change caught him off guard.
Ma Hong Yun was dead!
The immortals gasped.
"Damn it! Liu Guan Yi, you actually killed him, I will tear your bones and tendons out, I will make sure you die a terrible death!!" Old Ancestor Xue Hu fell into a rage, he screamed loudly as his eyes turned red.
Ma Hong Yun died, the effect of Fortune Rivalling Heaven also completely dissipated.
Only a living Ma Hong Yun had value as an immortal material. A dead Ma Hong Yun was just a rank five Gu Master corpse.
This was why Lady Wan Shou had been keeping Ma Hong Yun alive and did not kill him before trying to refine the Gu.
Like the spring dream fruit tree, luck path immortal materials also had a special trait, if it was a living luck path immortal material, it had to be alive. Refining the luck path Immortal Gu would require a living refinement in that case.
"Ma Hong Yun…" Bi Chen Tian and Wei Ling Yang were downcast.
"Little worm, you actually killed Ma Hong Yun, you squeezed him to death!!" Mao Li Qiu shouted even more loudly than Old Ancestor Xue Hu, it was furious and bared its sharp fangs, it was agitated and its hair was standing, it was ready to pounce to devour Fang Yuan alive.
"Ma Hong Yun actually died?! Never mind, I still have Zhao Lian Yun." Fang Yuan held in his shock.
Zhao Lian Yun was covered in tears.
"Hong Yun!"
"Hong Yun—!"
The person she loved had died right in front of her.
Unparalleled grief and sadness assaulted her and overwhelmed her like a tsunami!
But she could not scream, she could not shout, she was unable to emit any sound.
She could only scream in her heart and cry!
She had spent so much effort to reach this step, she had just reunited with Ma Hong Yun, when they were separated for good.
What was Zhao Lian Yun going to do now?
Her tears flowed like a river, the pain was engraved in her soul, extreme grief was causing her to tremble intensely.
"Oh no." Fang Yuan quickly made a move, wanting to knock out Zhao Lian Yun.
It was to prevent Zhao Lian Yun from dying on the spot as well from grief.
However, right when Fang Yuan was about to hit Zhao Lian Yun's neck, a blue light burst out from Zhao Lian Yun's body.
Rank nine love Immortal Gu!
At the most critical moment, it displayed its might again.
"This aura… rank nine love Gu?! Wait, aren't Gu worms unable to be used in Reverse Flow River?" Flood Extremity called out.
Mao Li Qiu rolled its eyes: "Are you stupid? How can anything be absolute in this world? Reverse Flow River is a secluded domain of heaven and earth, it is filled with dao marks, preventing Gu worms from being used. But if it is a rank nine Immortal Gu, they are not dao marks but fragments of the Great Dao. And a fragment of the Great Dao cannot be suppressed by Reverse Flow River's dao marks, the Immortal Gu's power can be used."
"Save him, save him, even if I have to sacrifice my life!" Zhao Lian Yun was overjoyed, she screamed in her heart.
But love Immortal Gu could not be controlled, the blue light brought Zhao Lian Yun into the sky, escaping Reverse Flow River. It then went to Wei Ling Yang and Bi Chen Tian, the speed was simply too fast to react to.
Meanwhile, Ma Hong Yun's corpse remained.
Fang Yuan was holding onto it.
Even though Ma Hong Yun died, his soul was still in his body.
But Old Ancestor Xue Hu lost all interest in this corpse already. If reviving Ma Hong Yun would help, Lady Wan Shou would not have used this difficult living refinement method.
Mao Li Qiu was staring at Fang Yuan, ready to attack.
Fang Yuan had grasped the chance earlier, but to think that this sudden change would cause Fang Yuan to fall into even bigger danger than before.
"Such a mishap, it is definitely heaven's will!"
Instantly, Fang Yuan understood.
He had fallen into Reverse Flow River, his Immortal Gu were ineffective, after such a long time passed, heaven's will had already started its plotting.
He was first swept into Reverse Flow River, followed by the events of Purple Mountain True Monarch and Ying Wu Xie, and finally, Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun.
Heaven's will!
Fang Yuan raised his head.
At this moment, he was completely trapped.
Not just Old Ancestor Xue Hu, Mao Li Qiu, and Central Continent's Gu Immortals, even heaven's will was everywhere, trying desperately to eliminate this biggest uncontrollable factor!
"A desperate situation… then, what should I do?"
Fang Yuan's mouth was dry.
But from start to finish, he was expressionless.
He could not think of a way, just Old Ancestor Xue Hu alone was an enemy Fang Yuan could not face.
That giant purple ferret was unfathomable, it was Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's steed!
Not to mention the other Gu Immortals.
Fang Yuan had no way, he could only continue moving in Reverse Flow River.
The clamoring of the Gu Immortals around him continued.
"Liu Guan Yi, you cannot escape death today."
"You committed so much evil, you have done yourself in today, the fact that you are in this state is truly heaven's judgment!"
"Kill him, we need to kill him, he actually foiled our plans!"
"Do you know that you killed someone you could not touch. You will die for sure today!!"
"Howl—!" The dog tail life extending ferret howled, sound waves resounded endlessly, if not for Reverse Flow River, it would have attacked Fang Yuan already.
"I have no choice now… if Reverse Flow River sweeps me out, with my current methods, there is little chance of escaping." Fang Yuan was completely stumped.
He could only continue moving forward in Reverse Flow River.
Step by step.
He was at the front already, every step he took, Reverse Flow River would move forward by a bit, causing Fang Yuan to stay in the river forever.
Reverse Flow River had no end.
This was a form of despair.
But Fang Yuan did not feel anything.
"In my life, I have experienced too many instances of despair." Fang Yuan sighed internally.
His gaze was clear, he was still expressionless.
"In the current situation, I can only wait for the three sides to fight, I will then be able to escape. I can only persevere in this river." Fang Yuan thought.
Step by step.
Time passed, the Gu Immortals who were waiting for Fang Yuan to be swept out became frustrated.
"Is he going to stop?"
"What's the point of moving forward in Reverse Flow River? You will still die."
"Come out you coward! I will kill you with one slap!"
"It is hopeless now, Liu Guan Yi, suiciding is the only way you can retain your honor."
Some Gu Immortals were laughing, some were watching coldly.
In their opinion, Fang Yuan was just struggling futilely.

Chapter 1285: Fang Yuan's Perseverance!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"If you think that there will be a chance to escape when we fight, you can forget about it. Today, I only have one target, that is you. Do you know how much of a price I've paid to refine fortune rivalling heaven Gu? You foiled my cultivation plan, you are the person I hate most in my life. If I do not kill you, I will never be appeased!" Old Ancestor Xue Hu looked at Fang Yuan with deep hatred, his words were like an icy river pouring on Fang Yuan.
But Fang Yuan was still expressionless.
He was like a rock, a deaf person, anyone's words, be it threats or promises, had no effect on him.
As time passed, Fang Yuan continued to move forward.
Unknowingly, the growling of the dog tail life extending ferret, Mao Li Qiu, became softer.
This giant purple ferret's expression had changed.
It spoke in a weird and incredulous tone, looking at Fang Yuan: "No way…"
"What?" Black Extremity was confused.
At this moment, Old Ancestor Xue Hu, Bi Chen Tian, and Wei Ling Yang also had changes in their expressions.
They sensed something.
Soon, the other Gu Immortals present were stirred up, they quickly shouted.
"Hmm?"
"This is a Gu worm's aura? But it doesn't seem like it!"
"What Gu worm? Impossible, does he also have a rank nine Immortal Gu?"
"This is weird, this is not an Immortal Gu's aura, or rather, it is not complete, this is so strange!"
Suddenly, Yu Yi Ye Zi's eyes shined, he guessed the truth as he said: "This situation, he is refining Gu!"
A Gu Immortal immediately mocked: "How can that be? Refining Gu in Reverse Flow River?"
That was true.
Gu worms could not be used in Reverse Flow River, unless it was a rank nine Immortal Gu.
Even though Fang Yuan had wisdom Gu, it was inside Lang Ya blessed land, he could not use any Gu worms, not to mention refining Gu.
Fang Yuan also felt the change inside his body.
He was expressionless, but he was shocked on the inside: "It seems… I really am refining Gu? What is going on? Every step I take, the aura in my body strengthens. What is going on?"
Even though Fang Yuan did not understand it, he knew that this was a turning point!
The situation was at its worst, no matter what, Fang Yuan wanted to try.
He continued to move forward.
Step by step.
He walked steadily, he was expressionless, but it gave others a feeling of strength.
"Why does he show no expression?" A Gu Immortal suddenly asked.
The immortals finally reacted.
That was true.
Other than Fang Yuan, everyone else who had been in this situation had distorted expressions, they were in pain, or they were going crazy or sobbing.
But why was Fang Yuan expressionless from start to finish?
The immortals were silent.
They all knew that the person who asked this question actually was asking about something else.
And that was —
"Why is this Liu Guan Yi able to persevere for so long? Furthermore, he seems to be able to continue, it seems like he can persevere forever!"
How was it possible?
Everyone was eliminated, swept away by Reverse Flow River.
How could he remain here with so much remaining strength?
Why was it him?
Why was it him!
Nobody could answer that, the Gu Immortals were all silent.
A moment later, as Fang Yuan continued to advance, the Gu worm aura in his body continued to strength, it was at its peak.
Soon, from inside Fang Yuan's body to the outside, he started to shine in a bright pure white light.
"It really… it really became like this!" Mao Li Qiu saw this and his eyes were staring wide open, he was gaping, unable to believe the sight in front of him.
"Grandpa Mao, what is going on?" Black Extremity could not endure it, he asked.
"Sigh! At this point, there is no reason in me hiding it anymore." Mao Li Qiu sighed deeply, showing a defeated look on his face.
"There is an Immortal Gu nurturing inside his body. This Immortal Gu's name is Perseverance!" Mao Li Qiu said some shocking things.
"Perseverance Immortal Gu?!" Black Extremity was extremely shocked.
The other Gu Immortals were too.
"It is said in The Legends of Ren Zu that perseverance Immortal Gu was the crucial Immortal Gu that could allow the user to conquer Reverse Flow River? Isn't it just a legend?" Yu Yi Ye Zi asked.
"No, it exists." Bi Chen Tian said, he was a Heavenly Court Gu Immortal, he knew many ancient secrets.
"There was a person who had once owned it, that person was a former leader of Heavenly Court, Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable!" Wei Ling Yang added.
"What?!" The immortals went into shock again.
"But we had never expected the refinement method of perseverance Immortal Gu to be like this. Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable had never mentioned it." Bi Chen Tian sighed and shook his head.
"Of course he didn't. This is a shameful event in his life. Hehehe." Mao Li Qiu interjected, it was very interested in anything that would ruin Heavenly Court's reputation.
These words made Shi Zheng Yi shout: "Rubbish, how dare you slander the reputation of an Immortal Venerable?!"
Daring to yell at a legendary immemorial desolate beast, Shi Zheng Yi was truly courageous, many Central Continent Gu Immortals were worried for him.
Mao Li Qiu did not get angry: "Little boy, what do you know? Immortal Venerable or Demon Venerable, even if they have high cultivation level, they are still human. Humans have emotions, they have flaws, they have weaknesses."
"Back then, Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable charged through Reverse Flow River and was trapped inside, unable to escape. Eventually, he painstakingly traveled to the end of the river and refined perseverance Immortal Gu in his body. From then on, he conquered Reverse Flow River and became the first Reverse Flow River Lord in history."
"The first Reverse Flow River Lord?" Even Old Ancestor Xue Hu was shocked. This Reverse Flow River had been his for so long, he did not think there were such secrets.
"This means…" At once, the immortals' gazes landed on Fang Yuan.
Mao Li Qiu sighed, with his gaze fixed on Fang Yuan who was bathed in white light, he said helplessly: "That is true. At this rate, he will refine perseverance Immortal Gu and become the second Reverse Flow River Lord!"
The immortals were lost for words, they looked at Fang Yuan, who continued moving forward.
He was expressionless, no matter how many steps he took, Reverse Flow River was always still below his feet, as if fate was mocking and laughing at him.
But he continued walking.
He had traveled through five hundred years of experiences over his previous life, he did not know how much longer he would have to walk.
But he knew where he needed to go.
As if… nobody could stop him.
At least… inside this river, nobody could stop him.
In the five hundred years of his previous life.
Fang Yuan sat inside the bamboo house, he looked at the village, he looked at Qing Mao Mountain.
His fists were clenched, hope was displayed all over his young and tender face.
"It is time to give up the past."
"Transmigrating here is my greatest opportunity! Because here, I can attain eternal life."
"I have to make good use of this rare opportunity! Otherwise, how can I live with myself, how can I give up this chance?"
"Of course, right now, I need to improve the living conditions of me and my brother. Hehe, that little fellow…"
After the aperture awakening.
On the battle stage, Fang Yuan lowered his head, he was filled with shock and anger.
"I was set up!"
"Who set me up? Who does not want me to win in battle? The answer is obvious!"
"Brother, give up, you are not my match. Because of our differing aptitude, we are fated to be different." Gu Yue Fang Zheng said with glee and smugness in front of him.
Fang Yuan turned around and left, he was filled with determination.
"Since the village refuses to nurture me, since my aunt and uncle are purposely pushing me aside, what is the point of staying here?"
"If I stay here, will I be able to get stronger and gain eternal life?"
"Why don't I leave?"
Inside the caravan.
Gu Master Big Beard died, Fang Yuan stood in front of his grave.
The youngster was filled with tears, he sobbed: "Uncle Big Beard, rest in peace."
"Thank you for the final present."
"You said: When you were a child, you wanted to be a grand hero, like those legendary figures of the righteous path. When you were a youngster, you wanted to be a clan leader. When you were an adult, you were satisfied with becoming a clan elder. When you were a middle aged man, you were exiled from the clan, you felt that you could live by yourself just as well, you were satisfied with just raising your Gu worms and yourself."
"But I am not like this, I will not forgo my dreams just because of age."
"This world is too big, but we are all minor characters… I will work hard! I will definitely do my best!"
Childhood, adolescence, adulthood.
Qing Mao Mountain, caravan, he walked all along.
Middle age, old age, and eventually, lifespan Gu.
Southern Border, Western Desert, Eastern Sea, and Central Continent.
After his rebirth using Spring Autumn Cicada, Qing Mao Mountain, Three Kings blessed land, Hu Immortal blessed land, Imperial Court blessed land, Yi Tian Mountain, and Reverse Flow River!
Step by step, through difficulties and ordeals.
Bi Chen Tian frowned, he stared at Fang Yuan's figure, thinking: "What sort of willpower is this! Why does he persevere? What makes him persevere to this extent?"
Old Ancestor Xue Hu snorted coldly, solemness showed in his eyes, he no longer looked down on this rank seven Gu Immortal: "This means, there was Genesis Lotus three hundred thousand years ago, and now, there is Liu Guan Yi… the Reverse Flow River Lord."
Mao Li Qiu looked at the light on Fang Yuan's body, there was nothing it could do, it bore its fangs and scratched the ground with its claws, causing deep marks to form.
Bai Ning Bing's and Hei Lou Lan's eyelids were twitching, they were evidently moved.
Zhao Lian Yun had woken up, she looked at Ma Hong Yun's corpse, held in Fang Yuan's arm, her tears were flowing out.
She cried in her heart: "Hong Yun, Hong Yun, how could you leave me like this. Without you, I am all alone in this world. What is the point of living? Do you know, the perseverance of one person is so difficult!"
How difficult is the perseverance of one person?
All of the Gu Immortals here could answer that question.
Because among them, some persevered because of responsibility, some persevered because of hatred, some persevered because of excitement, and some persevered because of love…
And Fang Yuan's answer?
He was still expressionless, he continued to move forward relentlessly.
I had once screamed, gradually, I lost my voice.
I had once cried, gradually, I lost my tears.
I had once grieved, gradually, I became able to withstand everything.
I had once rejoiced, gradually, I became unmoved by the world.
And now!
All I have left is an expressionless face, my gaze is as tough as a monolith, only perseverance remains in my heart.
This is my own, an insignificant character, Fang Yuan's — Perseverance!
A dazzling light erupted out.
Perseverance Immortal Gu, at this moment, was refined successfully!!

Chapter 1286: Wisely Urging Old Ancestor Xue Hu
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Perseverance Immortal Gu, at this moment, was refined successfully!
Outside Reverse Flow River, the immortals who saw this all fell into dead silence.
They watched as Reverse Flow River continued to flow slowly. A rank seven Gu Immortal, with the appearance of a young man wearing a long white robe, with long hair and deep dark eyes, was standing in the water, he was as free as the wind.
"He actually managed to refine perseverance Immortal Gu!" Bai Ning Bing muttered, having complex emotions.
"He actually did the same thing as Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable?" The Central Continent Gu Immortals could not believe this.
"Look guys, he is no longer moving forward, he is standing on the spot, Reverse Flow River is no longer sweeping him away!" Shi Zheng Yi pointed and shouted.
Fang Yuan shut his eyes, half his attention was inside his immortal aperture.
A brand new Immortal Gu had formed completely, appearing in his immortal aperture.
Perseverance Immortal Gu!
It was like a monolith, it was huge, at the size of a giant whale. The bottom was wide while the top was thin, it was squarish and metallic black, the sides were very straight. At one glance, it looked like a rock that could not be eroded by the sea in the span of ten thousand years, it was like a huge rock that could not be melted by magma over the ages.
It was really a very special Immortal Gu.
Because in terms of size, it was the largest Immortal Gu Fang Yuan had ever seen.
"Rank seven Immortal Gu…"
Fang Yuan could tell this Immortal Gu's rank from the aura it was emitting.
It was not rank eight, nor rank nine.
Fang Yuan was happy about this.
Having a higher rank Immortal Gu was not always better, this was something that every Gu Immortal knew.
Rank seven perseverance Immortal Gu best fit Fang Yuan's rank seven cultivation level.
"What is the food of this perseverance Immortal Gu? What effect does it have? How can I make use of it?" Questions appeared in Fang Yuan's head.
He did not think any further, he placed his focus on the outside world again.
Outside Reverse Flow River, the three rank eight Gu Immortals were still waiting to strike, the other Gu Immortals were also ready to attack any time.
"By owning perseverance Immortal Gu, I really conquered Reverse Flow River!" Fang Yuan soon found that Reverse Flow River was as obedient as a pet dog around him.
The immense pressure it gave him earlier had vanished.
Fang Yuan stood here without moving, Reverse Flow River no longer worked against him.
Not just that, Fang Yuan also found that he could use Gu worms freely in the river, he could even open his immortal aperture's entrance easily.
"Good!" Fang Yuan was excited, he first placed Ma Hong Yun's corpse in his immortal aperture.
Ma Hong Yun's soul was also inside Fang Yuan's immortal aperture.
His soul contained the luck path true inheritance of all living being's luck, Fang Yuan paid attention to this. During Imperial Court blessed land, Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun were protected by the all living being's luck true inheritance, they had each gained a portion of the inheritance.
"Right now, Ma Hong Yun's soul is in my hands, the portion of all living being's luck that he has belongs to me. It is a pity Zhao Lian Yun had rank nine love Immortal Gu, I could not capture her."
In Fang Yuan's opinion, Ma Hong Yun's soul had great value, but his body was merely a Gu refinement material, even though it had gone through many living refinement attempts.
But Fang Yuan frowned slightly.
If he could capture Zhao Lian Yun, he might have been able to use her and negotiate with the Gu Immortals outside.
But earlier, Zhao Lian Yun had escaped from danger due to love Immortal Gu, she had returned to Bi Chen Tian and Wei Ling Yang.
"Northern Plains' Liu Guan Yi, to think that this battle would establish your fame." Wei Ling Yang sighed.
"I want you to die, I want you to die!" Zhao Lian Yun screamed in a shrill voice, her gaze towards Fang Yuan was filled with hatred and grudge.
The love she had for Ma Hong Yun became hatred for Fang Yuan!
"Liu Guan Yi, even if you become the Reverse Flow River Lord, so what?" Old Ancestor Xue Hu smiled coldly.
"Lad, you are quite capable. But this is it, you killed Ma Hong Yun, you caused me to fail before even trying. Walk out of Reverse Flow River and let me kill you in one slap, I will let you off without much pain! Howl!" Grandpa Mao said with a ruthless expression.
"Damn it." Fang Yuan gritted his teeth secretly.
He was the only person in Reverse Flow River now, but the situation did not turn around for him.
He was trapped inside Reverse Flow River.
Even though he refined perseverance Immortal Gu and conquered Reverse Flow River, he could not gain the initiative and escape with his life.
Especially after killing Ma Hong Yun and losing Zhao Lian Yun, Fang Yuan was in a passive state.
"Three rank eight Gu Immortals, many experts, as well as heaven's will…" Fang Yuan looked around, he was trapped. Refining perseverance Immortal Gu made him the target of everyone now, he had attracted too much attention.
"Huff!"
Old Ancestor Xue Hu suddenly breathed out, he grunted as he spat out a mouthful of cold air.
The cold air soon landed on Reverse Flow River, the water was still flowing slowly, the surface of the river was flickering with light as the cold air was reflected back at him.
Old Ancestor Xue Hu dodged it, staring at the river water as he laughed: "Liu Guan Yi, you foiled my plans, if you surrender now and hand over Reverse Flow River, I can spare your life, you can become my slave. But if you insist on resisting us, I will make sure you cannot die even if you want to!"
Saying this, he spat out more cold air, attacking Reverse Flow River.
Reverse Flow River continued to reflect all of the attacks back, but Old Ancestor Xue Hu dodged them all, he continued threatening: "Liu Guan Yi, you can forget about it if you want to use Reverse Flow River to protect yourself. Reverse Flow River is a secluded domain of heaven and earth, it has immense might, but it is not a living being, reflecting attacks consumes its water. Eventually, the river will dry up, by then, you will die."
As Old Ancestor Xue Hu continued to attack, Reverse Flow River started being expended, even though only traces of the water were used, eventually, it would run out.
But Fang Yuan retorted: "Old Ancestor Xue Hu, you are the number one rank eight Gu Immortal in Northern Plains, how can you not know that Central Continent's Gu Immortals were the ones who foiled your Gu refinement plan? Furthermore, Longevity Heaven's trap might also be involved. I just happened to be here due to a coincidence, are you ignoring these great enemies and targeting an insignificant character like me?"
As he said this, Bi Chen Tian and Wei Ling Yang became extremely alert, they moved back by a bit.
Mao Li Qiu pouted: "This lad is good at sowing discord."
Old Ancestor Xue Hu stared slightly in surprise: "Liu Guan Yi, you seem to be forgetting that the Reverse Flow River under your feet belonged to me. You stole my secluded domain of heaven and earth, you are an enemy of mine. You caused the death of Ma Hong Yun and ruined my hope, if I do not kill you, my anger will not be appeased!"
Fang Yuan quickly said: "Old Ancestor Xue Hu, we are both Northern Plainsmen. Among everyone present, this ferret is from Longevity Heaven, while these Central Continent Gu Immortals are all from the ten great ancient sects or Heavenly Court. They are all righteous path, only we are in the demonic path. Righteous path and demonic path cannot intermingle, we can work together."
"Yes, I took away Reverse Flow River and by chance became the Reverse Flow River Lord. But we can cooperate, I can lend Reverse Flow River to you, with my help, Reverse Flow River will be much more useful to you now."
"Yes, I killed Ma Hong Yun, but everyone knows that I did not intend to do that. I only held him lightly and Ma Hong Yun died. He was completely worn out, he was mentally exhausted, or maybe he suffered too big of a shock and could not endure it. Without me, he was going to die anyway, I was merely implicated."
"Now that he is dead, Fortune Rivalling Heaven's effect vanished, I can understand that you want to seek revenge with me. But you need to undergo tribulation, will killing me and venting your anger help you pass the tribulation?"
Saying this, Fang Yuan shook his head, he continued: "Not just that, your tribulation might even become more dangerous. Because of how vast Reverse Flow River is, you will exert a lot of effort in draining its water, and yet, you cannot refine Fortune Rivalling Heaven to deal with your tribulation."
"Old Ancestor Xue Hu, you have a family, you are a grand overlord, the number one demonic path overlord in Northern Plains. If you die from tribulation, or even if you are just heavily injured, all of your enemies, and the righteous paths of Northern Plains and Central Continent, will be overjoyed. At the same time, Lady Wan Shou would grieve."
"Even though Snowy Mountain blessed land was destroyed and this refinement failed, as long as you are around, you can build another Snowy Mountain blessed land. If the refinement fails, you can snatch resources from others and get enough materials to refine Gu again."
"These righteous path Gu Immortals have ill intentions, we can take them down!"
"I, Liu Guan Yi, am a demonic path member of Northern Plains, I am willing to cooperate with you to achieve our grand ambitions!!"
Fang Yuan spoke with confidence and assurance, he had a glib tongue.
Old Ancestor Xue Hu heard these words and felt that Fang Yuan was not so detestable anymore!
Because what he said was right, even though Old Ancestor Xue Hu was furious, he had not lost his reasoning yet. Furthermore, Fang Yuan was considering him and putting himself in his perspective while making plans.
How could Old Ancestor Xue Hu not be moved?
He was a rank eight Gu Immortal, even after this major setback, his ambitions had not wavered. He was still going to refine Gu later, where would he get the materials?
Old Ancestor Xue Hu subconsciously looked towards Bi Chen Tian and Wei Ling Yang, as well as the dog tail life extending ferret.
Seeing Old Ancestor Xue Hu's gaze, Wei Ling Yang and Bi Chen Tian became nervous, while Mao Li Qiu felt offended, his hair stood on end as he opened his mouth, revealing his sharp fangs to Old Ancestor Xue Hu, not showing any weakness.
"This fellow is still as crafty as ever!" Ying Wu Xie was frustrated.
If this was earlier, he might encourage Old Ancestor Xue Hu to cooperate with Fang Yuan. After all, Fang Yuan's sovereign immortal body was the fruit of Shadow Sect's efforts after a hundred thousand years, it could not be lost.
But now, after being hunted down by Fang Yuan, and seeing him conquer Reverse Flow River, Ying Wu Xie's wariness towards Fang Yuan had reached an extreme level.
If there was a chance, Ying Wu Xie would definitely kill Fang Yuan, and eliminate this terrifying foe!
But Ying Wu Xie did not speak.
Purple Mountain True Monarch had fallen into deep sleep in his hands.
When he awakened, he would regain clarity for some time.
Currently, Ying Wu Xie had to keep a low profile, it would be best if everyone forgot about him.
This was Shadow Sect's weakest moment.
The Central Continent Gu Immortals were also like this, even though they got back Zhao Lian Yun, they did not dare to retreat easily. If they did, they might attract unwanted attention and become everyone's targets.
The situation was in a deadlock.
It was quite peculiar.
Old Ancestor Xue Hu, Shadow Sect, Central Continent's Gu Immortals, Longevity Heaven, Fang Yuan, none of them dared to make a move, they had their own considerations and perspective, and most importantly, none of them had overwhelming strength that could suppress the situation.
Old Ancestor Xue Hu's attitude became the crucial thing now.
Everyone stared at him.
Old Ancestor Xue Hu thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Sure, we can make an alliance!"
Fang Yuan was overjoyed.

Chapter 1287: Myriad Self Second Style!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Seeing that Fang Yuan was about to successfully convince Old Ancestor Xue Hu, be it Central Continent or Longevity Heaven, their expressions all changed.
Old Ancestor Xue Hu was the number one rank eight in Northern Plains' demonic path, if he fought with his full strength, he could definitely bring Fang Yuan away even against the dog tail life extending ferret Mao Li Qiu, Bi Chen Tian, and Wei Ling Yang.
However, Old Ancestor Xue Hu gave Fang Yuan very strict alliance agreement rules.
Fang Yuan's joy vanished, according to this alliance agreement, he was not an equal ally of Old Ancestor Xue Hu, he was a slave!
"Old Ancestor Xue Hu, such an alliance agreement… are you joking?" Fang Yuan's expression was ugly.
Old Ancestor Xue Hu started to laugh: "Of course I am not!"
"Liu Guan Yi, didn't you analyze this thoroughly earlier? Among the people present, only we are from the demonic path, we are natural allies."
"You killed Ye Lui Qun Xing, you killed a Liu tribe Gu Immortal and plundered their resources, are you going to hand yourself in to Longevity Heaven?"
"Or will you leave your homeland and go to Central Continent? And be the lackey of the ten great ancient sects and Heavenly Court?"
"I am your only option."
Saying this, he paused before looking at Ying Wu Xie: "You know, I have my own difficulties. I have an agreement with these people, but it seems that you are enemies too. I cannot offend another rank eight existence just because of a rank seven Gu Immortal and Reverse Flow River, right?"
Ying Wu Xie's heart jumped.
Old Ancestor Xue Hu was indeed trying to convince Fang Yuan, but he was also probing Shadow Sect's and Purple Mountain True Monarch's background.
After all, everyone saw that Purple Mountain True Monarch went crazy.
If this Purple Mountain True Monarch was truly crazy and unable to control himself, Old Ancestor Xue Hu might attack them. After all, killing a crazy rank eight Gu Immortal would grant enough benefits that would move Old Ancestor Xue Hu.
Furthermore, Old Ancestor Xue Hu had failed the Gu refinement and Snowy Mountain blessed land was destroyed, all of his investments were wasted.
Fang Yuan's expression was grim.
Old Ancestor Xue Hu was a demonic path overlord, he was not easy to fool.
His words earlier had truly moved Old Ancestor Xue Hu.
But Old Ancestor Xue Hu had his own schemes and plans, he used Fang Yuan's words to deal with him in return.
Old Ancestor Xue Hu's words were filled with suspicion and probing.
But Fang Yuan knew that he could not cooperate with Mao Li Qiu or Wei Ling Yang.
Longevity Heaven was defensive in regard to its descendants, Fang Yuan killed Ye Lui Qun Xing, he offended the Huang Jin tribes, and after killing Ma Hong Yun, going to Longevity Heaven was courting death.
On the other hand, he could not go to Central Continent.
Even though he had methods to defend against wisdom path, they could not be relied upon. Normally, he was relying on the isolation of being inside an immortal aperture or the Southern Border super Gu formation to defend himself from the deductions of Central Continent's Gu Immortals.
If he went to Central Continent, Heavenly Court's Fairy Zi Wei would know about it, by then, his identity would be exposed, he would be put on trial. After all, he was listed on the Demon Judgment Board.
As for Shadow Sect, because of sovereign immortal fetus Gu, it was even more impossible.
Thus, among everyone here, Old Ancestor Xue Hu was Fang Yuan's only choice.
But now, Old Ancestor Xue Hu had stated that he could help Fang Yuan, but Fang Yuan had to accept these conditions. If he did, he would be signing a slavery agreement, he would become Old Ancestor Xue Hu's slave.
"If you agree, I will ensure your safety. If you do not, I will attack Reverse Flow River, you will die here today, there is no other option." Old Ancestor Xue Hu was domineering, he stared at Fang Yuan fixedly, forcing him to make a decision.
Fang Yuan had a struggling and hesitant expression: "Let me think!"
"I will give you three breaths of time." Old Ancestor Xue Hu had a cold expression, he breathed out cold air as he gave Fang Yuan three breaths of time to consider.
It was truly merciless!
Fang Yuan smiled, he knew that he could not deceive Old Ancestor Xue Hu, there was no way to stall for time, he stopped acting: "Then, Old Ancestor, I will have to see your methods."
"Hahaha." Old Ancestor Xue Hu laughed loudly, he had a ruthless expression: "I knew it, how can someone who is qualified to be the Reverse Flow River Lord submit to others so easily? Therefore, I will beat you until you beg for mercy!"
Old Ancestor Xue Hu was happy to have this prey, he seemed to be unwilling to kill Fang Yuan.
But who knew if this was his plot?
Old Ancestor Xue Hu attacked, waves of cold air assaulted, unceasingly with grand might.
Reverse Flow River's water was raging, reflecting Xue Hu's attacks, while consuming the river water.
Fang Yuan did not move, it was still too early to affect him, even though he was bound to lose, because he could only take attacks passively and could not counterattack.
"I need to find a way to get out of this predicament and escape with my life."
Fang Yuan smiled, looking at Central Continent's group: "Guests from Central Continent, what are you waiting for? Do you want Northern Plains' Gu Immortals to collaborate and take care of you?"
Wei Ling Yang's and Bi Chen Tian's hearts jumped.
Zhao Lian Yun cried out shrilly: "Murderer! You should worry about yourself! I will only leave after I see you die right in front of me!"
The other Central Continent Gu Immortals were silent, they looked at the two rank eight Gu Immortals.
But Wei Ling Yang and Bi Chen Tian did not move, they were like statues, not making a response.
Fang Yuan was about to speak to the dog tail life extending ferret.
Mao Li Qiu suddenly laughed: "Little boy, no need to say anymore, sowing discord is pointless. I am right here, even if Xue Hu doesn't want to kill you, I will kill you!"
Saying this, it attacked.
It spat out traces of purple aura, it was like mist that was reflected by Reverse Flow River, intensifying Reverse Flow River's expenditure.
Fang Yuan smiled bitterly on the inside, these rank eight existences, be they human or beast, were astute, words could not cause them to waver.
"It seems that I can only rely on myself now."
"The new move that I created is powerful, but in front of four, no, five rank eight existences, it will be too difficult to escape."
Five rank eight existences, they were Old Ancestor Xue Hu, Mao Li Qiu, Bi Chen Tian, Wei Ling Yang, and the crazed Purple Mountain True Monarch.
Fang Yuan looked at the water below his feet, he actually went into a daze for a moment.
The attacks outside the river were powerful and unceasing, incredible might could be felt.
But Fang Yuan had no regard for the surroundings, because in his current state, an inspiration had formed in his mind.
Activating an Immortal Gu, the river water below his feet started to create ripples according to his will.
"It seems that if I continue activating perseverance Immortal Gu, I will be the Reverse Flow River Lord. Inside this river, I can use other Immortal Gu as well!"
Earlier, he had tried to use strength path Immortal Gu Pulling Water.
Under the effect of Pulling Water, Fang Yuan found that he could move Reverse Flow River just like any other river or stream.
But with just this, Fang Yuan could not leave the place.
Pulling water Immortal Gu was just rank six, it could move rivers and bodies of water, but it moved very slowly, trying to escape with this was impossible.
"Old Ancestor Xue Hu seems to have a way to make use of Reverse Flow River and create a formation, why can't I do the same? I am the Reverse Flow River Lord, I have perseverance Immortal Gu, I can freely manipulate this river. Or maybe, I can form an immortal killer move…"
This idea appeared in Fang Yuan's mind and began to take root deeply.
Perseverance Immortal Gu allowed Fang Yuan to get Reverse Flow River's compliance, and pulling water Immortal Gu could manipulate rivers and water. This was the basis of an immortal killer move.
Adding more Gu worms to form a complete immortal killer move, it seemed… that it was nothing too hard.
Fang Yuan felt that he could do it!
This was not a random guess.
It was his attainment level!
Fang Yuan had incredible attainment levels, one of them was water path.
He had just become a water path grandmaster.
After adding more water path Gu worms in, he quickly compiled this immortal killer move.
But it was not enough.
"Not enough… strength!" Fang Yuan realized.
The framework, the skeleton of the killer move was created, the wings were spread, but he lacked the crucial muscles for strength. Just two Immortal Gu were not enough.
Then he would add more!
Fang Yuan first thought of strength path.
Myriad self!
His most familiar technique, and also a unique immortal killer move that he had created after rebirth.
A solution was found.
Strength path grandmaster attainment level and water path grandmaster attainment level, they allowed him to naturally reach success.
But wait!
Fang Yuan suddenly thought of an unrelated immortal killer move.
This killer move came from Ye Lui Qun Xing, he used star fragments to create a powerful killer move, it was like Fang Yuan trying to use Reverse Flow River, they were using external forces!
And now, he even had the blood vessels.
Skeleton, muscles, wings, and blood vessels, he had them all.
Fang Yuan actually created an immortal killer move in this short period of time.
"This is myriad self second style." Fang Yuan's eyes were shining brilliantly.

Chapter 1288: Practising the Killer Move
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
With sufficient attainment level, Fang Yuan created an immortal killer move on the spot.
Because he used myriad self killer move as the foundation, Fang Yuan named this move myriad self second style.
But because this move was just created, it was far from being usable.
Bam bam bam!
Old Ancestor Xue Hu and the dog tail life extending ferret Mao Li Qiu, these two rank eight existences continued to attack Reverse Flow River, causing huge ripples in the water, countless attacks were reflected as the water level started to fall.
Fang Yuan's actions had gone past their bottom line. And because he was unwilling to give up, Old Ancestor Xue Hu and Mao Li Qiu were expending their energy to attack Reverse Flow River, in order to kill Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan looked at the river water, thinking: "At this rate, I still have a lot of time."
His heart eased slightly.
Reverse Flow River was a secluded domain of heaven and earth indeed, it endured the attacks of two rank eight existences, only falling a little in water level.
Of course, a reason was that Xue Hu and Mao Li Qiu did not use their full strength.
They were wary of each other, and Wei Ling Yang and Bi Chen Tian were together with the other Central Continent Gu Immortals, awaiting their chance. These people restrained each other, they guarded against each other, how could they use their full strength on Fang Yuan?
Because of this complex situation, a lot of pressure was lifted off Fang Yuan, he could test his killer move without rushing.
The first activation.
Fang Yuan was careful.
First was perseverance Immortal Gu, it had been expending red date immortal essence to allow Fang Yuan to move freely in Reverse Flow River, remaining unrestricted by the secluded domain of heaven and earth.
Next were a large number of water path mortal Gu, they flew up in Fang Yuan's immortal aperture, surrounding the huge perseverance Immortal Gu as they moved in the air.
Soon, large amounts of water vapor rose, as faint blue light appeared in them.
But soon, this blue light vanished, some of it had even turned red, the originally ice-cold water vapor had turned warmer.
"I failed." Fang Yuan immediately stopped.
The scene in front of him was out of his expectations.
This was not what he wanted.
He stopped his immortal essence expenditure, crack crack, large numbers of water path mortal Gu exploded, destroyed on the spot.
Fang Yuan calmed down and started to think.
According to his planning, there should be blue light shining as the water vapor became colder, why was there red light and warmer temperature?
Fang Yuan deduced in his mind, soon, because of his wisdom path attainment level, he found the source of the problem.
It was because he had used two conflicting water path mortal Gu.
Fang Yuan immediately changed one of them, in Reverse Flow River, he could open his immortal aperture and connect to treasure yellow heaven to purchase water path mortal Gu easily.
After modifying the entire immortal killer move, Fang Yuan tried to activate it again for the second time.
Perseverance Immortal Gu was still in use.
The surrounding water path mortal Gu started to rise and fly around it.
First was water vapor and blue light, he soon passed this stage as Fang Yuan used Immortal Gu Pulling Water.
Rank six strength path Immortal Gu Pulling Water.
This was the second core of the immortal killer move.
The first core was undeniably rank seven perseverance Immortal Gu.
Fang Yuan was careful.
While activating perseverance Immortal Gu, he activated Pulling Water, it was a very risky thing.
If he could not manage it well, these two Immortal Gu might interfere and cause harm to each other, they might even get destroyed.
Testing immortal killer moves was not just risky to the Gu Immortal, the Immortal Gu and mortal Gu involved were also in danger. And because Immortal Gu themselves were fragments of the Great Dao, when they suffered a backlash, the damage was much more severe.
Fang Yuan was very vigilant, he was quickly rewarded for it.
He met with difficulty.
Although pulling water Immortal Gu was activated and its mystical power was used, it could not integrate into the framework of the move.
"What is the problem?"
Fang Yuan stopped.
A lot of water path mortal Gu were destroyed.
Experimenting with immortal killer moves had a price.
A complete and effective immortal killer move needed conceptualization and experimentation, the Gu Immortal needed to put in a lot of effort and resources.
As the attacks in the outside world continued, Fang Yuan ignored them, he had the sovereign immortal body, his thoughts were produced rapidly as they moved around and collided.
With his wisdom path grandmaster attainment level, wisdom path dao marks, as well as wisdom path methods, his deductions were progressing rapidly.
It was faster this time!
In just a few breaths of time, Fang Yuan found the problem.
The powers of perseverance Immortal Gu and pulling water Immortal Gu could not fuse together, it was because the quantity and types of water path mortal Gu were not appropriate. These mortal Gu were the bridge between the two Immortal Gu, they had the effect of linking them.
Fang Yuan thought about it, he reduced a portion of some water path mortal Gu and while increasing others, at the same time, he added in new water path mortal Gu.
The third activation.
This time, it was smooth sailing, he successfully fused pulling water Immortal Gu into the killer move.
The moment he succeeded, there were waves forming in the Reverse Flow River water below him.
It was finally starting to work!
But he was still far from reaching his goal.
Fang Yuan did not rest, he could not waste time in this situation, he continued experimenting, activating the immortal killer move, his aura strengthened and weakened at times, flickering continuously.
"What is Liu Guan Yi doing?"
"Gu worm auras are appearing on his body from time to time, it looks like he is experimenting with an immortal killer move?"
Other than Old Ancestor Xue Hu and Mao Li Qiu, the other Gu Immortals were just watching.
Every time Fang Yuan experimented with his immortal killer move, the Gu worm auras would leak, it could not be concealed from the Gu Immortals.
If he wanted to conceal the auras, he needed a special immortal killer move.
These types of immortal killer moves were very rare, like Fang Yuan's dark assassination, it was among these immortal killer moves.
Fang Yuan reached his limits in conceptualized myriad self second style, he could not consider adding aura concealment to it.
But it did not matter.
Gu worm auras alone could not determine the types of Gu worms.
Furthermore, he had just created myriad self second style, it was complex and used many different Gu, it was not possible for them to find out its flaws by watching.
Fourth time, fifth time…
Fang Yuan continued to activate the immortal killer move, sometimes he made great progress, while sometimes, because of some adjustments, he backtracked by several steps.
Fang Yuan was not dejected, he persevered on without any expression.
"He is really testing an immortal killer move."
"Hehehe, is this Liu Guan Yi an idiot? Creating an immortal killer move on the spot, does he think he is an Immortal Venerable or Demon Venerable?"
"Even if he creates an immortal killer move, I want to see if he can use it to deal with all of us?"
The Gu Immortals watching all commented on Fang Yuan's naivety and mocked him in disdain.
If immortal killer moves were so easy to create, would they still be immortal killer moves?
But soon, some of their expressions changed.
They found that some mystical changes were occurring in Reverse Flow River.
"Twenty-first try."
Fang Yuan stretched out his arm, grabbing towards at river below his feet.
"Rise." At the same time, he muttered lightly.
Bam.
A soft sound occurred as a huge ball appeared on the river surface near him.
This ball was completely made of Reverse Flow River's water, after rising, it burst as water splattered everywhere.
The killer move activation failed!
Fang Yuan's nose was bleeding as two streams of blood flowed down.
"His immortal killer move has effect on Reverse Flow River?" Yu Yi Ye Zi saw this and his eyes shined with sharp light.
"No, more accurately speaking, he is using Reverse Flow River to create an immortal killer move!" Bu Zhen Zi said.
"Hmph, laughable." Black Extremity smiled coldly: "Back then, I used Reverse Flow River to create the sub and main fate reversing refinement formation, it used up several years of my time. Liu Guan Yi, even if you are the Reverse Flow River Lord, you are simply too arrogant, you think you can create an immortal killer move using it in such a short amount of time?"
Evidently, none of the Gu Immortals here thought highly of Fang Yuan's chances.
But soon, Fang Yuan started his testing again.
Pew!
This time, a small mound appeared on the river surface near him.
The mound quickly collapsed as the water doused Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan's expression turned pale, his body wavered, not only did he have a nosebleed, even his ears were bleeding.
"I failed again, Man as Before!" At the next moment, he was completely healed.
"I should find the reason for the failure. It seems that a small problem occurred at the final juncture…" Fang Yuan fell into deep contemplation.

A moment later, Fang Yuan opened his eyes, activating the killer move again.
This time, a segment of Reverse Flow River's water was moved by him, causing huge waves.
The immortals' expressions changed.
Even Old Ancestor Xue Hu's attacks stopped.
But at the next moment, Old Ancestor Xue Hu shouted loudly and erupted with even stronger attacks.
"This is so hard. Because I added in many Gu worms of different types, many problems occurred. But this is already my current limit. To create a concise version, I will need years to deduce, or an increase in my attainment level once again."
Fang Yuan knew that this myriad self second style had too many Gu worms involved, it was too complex and had many issues to deal with.
While Fang Yuan was sighing at the difficult progress, the other Gu Immortals were filled with shock.
Even though they did not speak, their gazes were flickering.
"Liu Guan Yi, this fellow…"
"Such fast progress! He could really mobilize Reverse Flow River."
"Unbelievable! Is he really human? He could achieve such progress in this short period of time."
"No, there is no way he can succeed. How can he really create an immortal killer move in such a short amount of time?"
Undeniably, Fang Yuan's rapid advancement had broken the common sense of these immortals.
They had never seen a person create an immortal killer move in such a short period of time and gain such rapid improvements through experimentation.
But right now, they were seeing it live.
Fang Yuan continued.
Old Ancestor Xue Hu and the dog tail life extending ferret, Mao Li Qiu, subconsciously increased their attacking power.
But Reverse Flow River was too huge, even after their endless attacks, they consumed less than five percent of the entire river.
"Once more! Rise." Fang Yuan had a serious expression, he grabbed at the air towards the river below him as he called out.
This time, the entirety of Reverse Flow River was affected, it was like a long dragon awakening from its slumber, it started to stretch its entire body freely.
"How could this happen?!" Someone cried out subconsciously.
The entirety of Reverse Flow River started to fly in the sky like a rising dragon, ready to soar and roam the five regions and nine heavens.
"Wishful thinking!" Old Ancestor Xue Hu shouted, slamming with his palms as an icy light shot out towards Reverse Flow River.
Reverse Flow River was hit and reflected it, the icy light seemed to have collided into a mirror, it was sent right back at him, in the blink of an eye, all of the vast surrounding grassland turned into an icy plain.
Frost energy permeated, the sky was snowing, the temperature was falling.
Strong winds blew intensely, the entire world seemed to have changed colors.
This was the power of a rank eight!
Fang Yuan could not help but feel shocked.
He was temporarily safe in Reverse Flow River, and the other Gu Immortals were protected by their rank eight existences.
Ying Wu Xie was covered in cold sweat, Purple Mountain True Monarch had awakened again at the crucial moment, if not for him, Ying Wu Xie and the rest would not have survived.
"We will leave." Purple Mountain True Monarch said.
"But this…" Ying Wu Xie hesitated, but Purple Mountain True Monarch waved his hand and several rings of light appeared, capturing Ying Wu Xie and gang, sending them towards the sky.
To think that Shadow Sect was the first to retreat.
Purple Mountain True Monarch left rapidly without saying a word, the Gu Immortals present were stunned.
"Lord, that is the sovereign immortal aperture…" Ying Wu Xie was anxious, he transmitted to Purple Mountain True Monarch.
"Don't worry, I have already deduced that he won't die! He can definitely escape." Purple Mountain True Monarch said confidently.
Ying Wu Xie was not very convinced of Purple Mountain True Monarch's words, but he could not express his doubts.
But at the next moment, he saw that all of Reverse Flow River started to glow in a bright blue light.
Blue light flickered like rumbling clouds or raging currents.
The immortals' gazes were all attracted to it.
Fang Yuan stood in the middle, great winds were blowing, causing his hair and sleeves to flutter in the sky.
His eyes were eerie, he said softly: "Rise."
Instantly, the river water surged and the immortals could hear the sounds of the waves, it resembled the roaring of a thousand men, the scene was domineering and grand.
Immediately after, the blue light condensed, Reverse Flow River shrank, it became a tiny dot in an instant.
The huge Reverse Flow River vanished, it condensed towards Fang Yuan and turned into a light blue colored robe.
This long robe had wide sleeves, it was white like snow. On the surface of the robe, there was slow flowing water, it was the same appearance as Reverse Flow River earlier.
Not just that, the surface of the white robe had faint mist surrounding it. There was also a strip of light that was deep azure, it was curvy and wavy, resembling a long sash, it coiled around Fang Yuan's arms, the back of his neck, and around his waist again.
Immortal killer move — Myriad Self Second Style — Reverse Flow Protection Seal, had been successfully activated at this moment!
"He succeeded?!"
"Impossible!"
"He actually used Reverse Flow River to create a new immortal killer move in this short time?"
The immortals saw this and became tongue-tied, Old Ancestor Xue Hu was staring fiercely: "I refuse to believe this!"
He thrusted with his palms in Fang Yuan's direction.
Immediately, an icy light shot out at incredible speed towards Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan was prepared to face it.
The icy light landed on his body, but it was fully blocked by reverse flow protection seal.
Reverse flow protection seal flickered as the terrifying icy light was reflected back at its creator, Old Ancestor Xue Hu.
"Success!" Fang Yuan's heart was jumping, it gradually calmed down.
Even though the immortal killer move was activated successfully, he needed to test it.
Old Ancestor Xue Hu's attack confirmed that Fang Yuan's reverse flow protection seal was incredibly powerful!
Old Ancestor Xue Hu dodged the icy light, his expression turned ruthless and harsh as he looked at Fang Yuan.
"Let me try." Mao Li Qiu shouted.
Its body vanished on the spot, at the next moment, it appeared behind Fang Yuan.
Its ruthless claws were raised and they landed harshly.
Boom!
A loud sound could be heard, Fang Yuan flew out like a cannonball that was shot out.
His field of vision changed, Fang Yuan had landed on the ground a breath of time later.
Next, with a loud explosion, a huge crater was formed on the icy ground.
Under everyone's watchful gazes, Fang Yuan slowly stood up in the deep crater, he was expressionless and his body was intact, there was not even a graze on his skin!
Reverse flow protection seal had turned into a snow-white robe with an azure sash, there were almost no changes to it, but the mist on the surface of the robe had dissipated to a large extent. If one observed closely, the snow-white robe seemed to be covered in a layer of dust, it was no longer as bright as before.
Mao Li Qiu looked at Fang Yuan before turning to look at its claws.
Its right paw was covered in blood, its flesh was exposed now!
Fang Yuan suffered no injuries, while Mao Li Qiu was quite severely injured.
"Gasp…" Sounds could be heard coming from the Gu Immortals present.
"What immortal killer move is this? Even Mao Li Qiu suffered a loss!!"
Seeing this, even Bi Chen Tian's eyes were twitching rapidly.
"He actually did it!" Black Extremity was speechless, his expression was of utter shock.
"Even an immemorial desolate beast's physical attack was reflected back?" Old Ancestor Xue Hu frowned deeply.
"How can this be?" Ying Wu Xie, who was far away in the sky, saw this and felt like he was dreaming.
There had never been a case where a rank eight Gu Immortal attacked a rank seven Gu Immortal and resulted in the rank seven Gu Immortal being unharmed, while the rank eight Gu Immortal was actually injured!
Rank eight and rank seven, the former always suppressed the latter.
In the last few thousand years, Feng Jiu Ge was the sole monster who had overwhelming talent, he was unparalleled and could battle rank eight existences.
But now, after Fang Yuan created myriad self second style, and successfully used it, Feng Jiu Ge no longer held this title alone.
From now on, this supreme glory was shared with another person.
Liu Guan Yi!
"Central's Feng Jiu Ge, North's Liu Guan Yi…" Bu Zhen Zi muttered in a daze.
Old Ancestor Xue Hu smiled lightly: "Lad, I underestimated you after all."
His arms were behind his back, he stopped attacking.
But Mao Li Qiu was furious: "Little lad, you are courting death, you dared to make me lose face!!"
The immemorial desolate beast attacked Fang Yuan furiously.
Fang Yuan was not its match, he was slammed away like a rubber ball.
But after dozens of blows, Fang Yuan was unharmed, he still had a pristine air, but Mao Li Qiu was panting roughly, bleeding profusely.
Every one of its attacks was reflected back at itself.
Mao Li Qiu was staring furiously, thinking: "This lad is a porcupine, I'm hurting myself, since when did Northern Plains have such a monster?"
Fang Yuan saw that Mao Li Qiu was at a loss against him and laughed, charging at the Central Continent Gu Immortals.
Central Continent's Gu Immortals were like frightened birds, they dispersed at once.
The two Central Continent rank eights stayed and attacked Fang Yuan.
But it was no use!
Reverse flow protection seal was reflecting their attacks back at them, they landed on Mao Li Qiu, who was chasing after him.
Mao Li Qiu was suffering greatly, so angry it was about to blow up, it spat out a vast amount of purple light, its attack engulfed an enormous surrounding range.
This attack caused a huge battle.
The situation became chaotic, the Gu Immortals of all three sides were attacking.
This was the last thing Ying Wu Xie saw.
He was in deep admiration towards Purple Mountain True Monarch's decision of retreating.
At the same time, he understood: After this battle, Liu Guan Yi's name would spread throughout the five regions, it would shock the world, his reputation would rival Feng Jiu Ge!
More than ten days later, a figure in a sorry state passed the regional wall, arriving at Eastern Sea.
It was Fang Yuan.
"I finally got free from that crazy animal." Fang Yuan sighed deeply.
More than ten days ago, Old Ancestor Xue Hu, Central Continent's Gu Immortals, and Longevity Heaven engaged in fierce combat, they fought with all they had.
Fang Yuan managed to escape from this chaotic battle, but Mao Li Qiu refused to stop chasing him.
Fang Yuan was not Mao Li Qiu's match, but after he entered Northern Plains' regional wall, Mao Li Qiu could only watch helplessly.
It was a wild beast born in Northern Plains, it was restricted by the regional wall.
Fang Yuan managed to escape from these pursuers.
"Time to go back to Southern Border." Fang Yuan did not stay, he flew into the clouds.

Chapter 1290: Truce Between Shadow Sect and Fang Yuan?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
On the dark stone wall, eerie flames were burning.
The flames were not big, they were like fireflies or lanterns in size.
They were green flames that were cold and icy, the pale flames reflected on the faces of Purple Mountain True Monarch, Ying Wu Xie, Bai Ning Bing, and Hei Lou Lan.
Being the first to leave the Reverse Flow River battle, they were brought here by Purple Mountain True Monarch.
But after that, Purple Mountain True Monarch returned to a state of insanity.
Looking at Purple Mountain True Monarch, who was nibbling on his toes, Bai Ning Bing sneered at Ying Wu Xie: "This is your plan? This is the rank eight great expert who will kill Fang Yuan?"
In this trip to Snowy Mountain blessed land, even though Ying Wu Xie saved Purple Mountain True Monarch, he lost a lot, Shi Nu and Tai Bai Yun Sheng died in battle.
Hei Lou Lan was silent.
This rank eight Gu Immortal was unreliable.
But due to Shadow Sect's alliance agreement, Hei Lou Lan kept quiet.
Ying Wu Xie was mocked by Bai Ning Bing, but his expression remained the same.
After so many setbacks, he had gained a disposition of being calm no matter the situation.
He slowly spoke: "I underestimated Fang Yuan, to think that he would refine perseverance Immortal Gu and become the Reverse Flow River Lord. No wonder heaven's will chose him as a tool. This person can only be killed, he cannot be defeated."
Ying Wu Xie praised Fang Yuan without hesitation.
Even though they were enemies, Ying Wu Xie had an open mind, he admitted that Fang Yuan had both the advantage and superior strength.
Bai Ning Bing snorted coldly, thinking about the scene where Fang Yuan conquered Reverse Flow River, she no longer said anything.
In the tiny cave, only Purple Mountain True Monarch's screaming echoed throughout the place.
A moment later, Purple Mountain True Monarch stopped shouting, his tiny body shook before he stood up calmly.
He straightened his back, clarity returning to his eyes.
"Lord, you are awake!" Ying Wu Xie was overjoyed, he quickly got closer.
Purple Mountain True Monarch held his forehead, feeling pain in his head, his expression was distorting from the pain.
"Earlier in Reverse Flow River, I forced myself to awaken, thus it was only for a moment. But now is different, I have quite some time left. How long has it been? How did the battle end?"
"It has already been half a month. Fang Yuan escaped Northern Plains through the regional wall, I assume he entered Eastern Sea. After all, he has some foundation in Eastern Sea. As for the battle, the result has yet to be determined. Central Continent's Gu Immortals wanted to leave, but Old Ancestor Xue Hu pursued them, during the dangerous situation, an Immortal Gu House descended from the sky, as both parties went to fight in white heaven." Ying Wu Xie answered.
Purple Mountain True Monarch nodded: "This time, Central Continent's Gu Immortals will likely lose, in the past, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable chose Northern Plains as his domain, how could he not make arrangements here? For example, none of Longevity Heaven's rank eight Gu Immortals have shown up yet."
"Lord, what do we do from now on?" Ying Wu Xie asked.
He was once in charge of Shadow Sect, now that Purple Mountain True Monarch woke up, this rank eight great expert was naturally going to lead Shadow Sect, Ying Wu Xie had to step down.
Purple Mountain True Monarch was about to speak when the sound of winds echoed in this cave.
Next, the eerie fire on the cave walls started flickering intensely, as if a strong wind was blowing.
Purple Mountain True Monarch's gaze flickered: "I arranged this cave as one of our escape methods. These eerie fires were nurtured by me to create a natural Gu formation, it allows us to defend against deductions from others. When I was insane, how many times did they flicker?"
"A hundred and seven times." Bai Ning Bing said plainly.
"I am afraid Fang Yuan's deductions are included in this. His investigative killer move can use the profundities of luck path and find our locations. Even inside an immortal aperture, we cannot hide from him." Ying Wu Xie said grimly.
Purple Mountain True Monarch nodded: "Fang Yuan is indeed worthy of being the person nurtured by heaven's will, as the crucial key to deal with our Shadow Sect. This person is very daring and has incredible talent, his willpower is unparalleled, he is truly an absolute genius seen once in ten thousand years."
Purple of Shadow Sect actually gave Fang Yuan such a high evaluation.
But the three Gu Immortals present were silent, they agreed with Purple Mountain True Monarch's words.
Purple Mountain True Monarch continued: "And now, our plan is to reach a truce with Fang Yuan."
These were shocking words.
"What, a truce?" Ying Wu Xie and the rest were shocked.
"Is that very strange?" Purple Mountain True Monarch looked at the three.
He was very clear of the current situation. When he woke up, Ying Wu Xie had used information path methods to inform Purple Mountain True Monarch of everything he knew.
"You are all too young, you know too little. Our biggest enemy now is not Fang Yuan but Heavenly Court." Purple Mountain True Monarch shook his head, looking at Ying Wu Xie: "Do you think rescuing our main body's soul is easy? Other than the super Gu formation in Southern Border, and that giant dream realm, I can assure you that when we strike, Heavenly Court will interfere! Like on Yi Tian Mountain, they used Heaven Overseeing Tower and attempted to thwart our plan. Or like this time, when they went to Snowy Mountain blessed land to save Ma Hong Yun."
Ying Wu Xie's expression was grim: "Lord, I considered that before, but our main body is in great danger, he is trapped by the dream realm and is being consumed by it, that's why I was so anxious…"
"That is exactly why we need to cooperate with Fang Yuan." Purple Mountain True Monarch added.
"Firstly, Fang Yuan's strength is already extraordinary, that immortal killer move alone can stand up to rank eight Gu Immortals."
"Secondly, Fang Yuan is a complete otherworldly demon, he is listed on the Demon Judgment Board, and is a common enemy of Heavenly Court."
"Finally, cooperating is a win-win situation for us. Our Shadow Sect has huge amounts of cultivation resources, while he has the killer move to unravel dreams, he can help us conquer the giant dream realm and save our main body's soul."
Ying Wu Xie frowned deeply, he cast aside his personal emotions and tried to consider the possibility of this.
But soon, he expressed his worries: "Fang Yuan is scheming and vicious, he thinks of us as huge threats, he wants to eliminate us all. Now that he is the Reverse Flow River Lord, he is already able to contest with rank eight existences. We desperately need methods to unravel dreams, while he needs cultivation resources less urgently. It is hard for us to cooperate."
Purple Mountain True Monarch nodded: "You are completely right, but do you know about the biggest flaw of the sovereign immortal body?"
"What do you mean? You mean the non-conflicting dao marks of the sovereign immortal body?" Ying Wu Xie asked in confusion.
"Of course not. Non-conflicting dao marks are the sovereign immortal body's biggest advantage, far surpassing the weaknesses that they bring. What I mean is that hidden problem!" Purple Mountain True Monarch shook his head.
"There is an important hidden problem?" Ying Wu Xie was shocked.
"Our original plan was to refine a rank ten sovereign immortal fetus Gu. Only rank ten sovereign immortal fetus Gu can be considered perfect without any flaws. But evidently, we only refined a rank nine version, that huge drawback has not shown itself yet, but it will force Fang Yuan to cooperate with us regardless." Purple Mountain True Monarch said.
The sovereign immortal body had a major flaw!
As for what flaw it was that made Purple Mountain True Monarch so certain that it would restrict Fang Yuan?
Ying Wu Xie and the rest were curious, but Purple Mountain True Monarch did not answer it.
At the same time, Purple Mountain True Monarch had his own questions and suspicions.
"Strange."
"From Ying Wu Xie's information, our sect refined sovereign immortal fetus Gu very hurriedly. It is not like our original plan."
"What is the reason that made our main body act so urgently?"
"It seems that alongside getting in contact with Fang Yuan, I need to make a trip to the River of Time!"
Eastern Sea.
Above the blue sea, Fang Yuan rapidly moved through the white clouds, his target was Southern Border.
"Happening again!" While flying, Fang Yuan's expression changed.
He could sense that the power of Dark Limit on him was rapidly consumed. This consumption was so fast that it was going to be used up soon.
Evidently, a great expert was deducing matters about him.
When he saw that no one was around, Fang Yuan quickly placed his immortal aperture.
After entering the immortal aperture, isolating him from the outside world, and preventing the deduction of the other party, Fang Yuan's danger of getting exposed was alleviated.
Fang Yuan sighed.
After the battle of Reverse Flow River, he was met with countless deductions.
Liu Guan Yi's identity became extremely famous.
Not just Northern Plains and Central Continent, even Eastern Sea, Southern Border, and Western Desert Gu Immortals were very curious about Liu Guan Yi, they wanted to deduce more information about him.
Liu Guan Yi was a fake identity, but he was still Fang Yuan.
This way, Fang Yuan endured all of the pressure.
Even with dark limit Immortal Gu, he had to constantly stop and hide inside his immortal aperture.
Along the way, Fang Yuan met with about four to five hundred deductions.
This greatly interfered with his traveling, he had to constantly stop, and resulted in him still being in Eastern Sea now.
With his usual speed, he would be in Southern Border already.
"If not for dark limit Immortal Gu, the situation would be worse."
"However, it is to be expected that I created such a huge commotion. After all, people are putting me in the same class as Feng Jiu Ge."
"When I destroyed Eighty-Eight True Yang Building and Imperial Court blessed land, I had Shadow Sect's help and felt no pressure, but now I do. It seems that getting an immortal killer move to deal with these deductions is necessary."
Fang Yuan was a wisdom path grandmaster, deducing an immortal killer move was not impossible. But it would not be as easy as creating reverse flow protection seal.
After all, when deducing reverse flow protection seal, there were many elements involved other than his water path attainment level.
Most importantly, he had the appropriate Immortal Gu along with a strong foundation, thus he met with no problems.
But currently, the Immortal Gu that suited this was Dark Limit, it was not wisdom path but dark path instead.
Fang Yuan's dark path attainment level was not outstanding.
If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know report chapter so we can fix it as soon as possible.
Report chapter
While evading deductions, Fang Yuan did not waste time, he inspected his immortal aperture.
Five regions, nine heavens.
The sizes were incredible, beyond this world's common sense.
335000km2 of space was already shockingly huge, nobody would believe it if they heard of it.
But now, Fang Yuan's sovereign immortal aperture had exceeded 335000km2 of space already.
This was because he had been slaughtering Gu Immortals and annexing their immortal apertures recently.
Because of the sovereign immortal body's special characteristics, Fang Yuan could completely annex other people's blessed lands and absorb all their dao marks without any wastage.
These immortal apertures added up to create many unique areas in the sovereign immortal aperture.
These areas were mainly managed by land spirits, Fang Yuan could save a lot of effort. They were like tiny pearls scattered all over the five regions and nine heavens.
"I have incredible amounts of space path resources. Normal Gu Immortals try by all means possible to expand their immortal apertures, but I have so much space that I have yet to develop."
Fang Yuan was satisfied with this, on the other hand, regarding the time path resources, he had a different feeling.
The sovereign immortal aperture's rate of time had slowed a lot.
It was one-to-sixty earlier, this was simply unmatched!
But now, it was below normal standards.
This was something he had no other way to deal with.
Before Fang Yuan changed his cultivation method, in order to stall calamities and tribulations, he had to do this.
He used the time path methods in Hei Fan's true inheritance to slow the time in his immortal aperture, with fewer time path resources now, Fang Yuan's immortal essence production fell greatly, not just that, all of his gains in his other resources also fell.
Thinking over it in detail.
Inside Mini Central Continent, there was the blood zhi forest, and mirror willows, they were from Hu Immortal blessed land. Other than these, there was a small jade light pit.
This small jade light pit had light path mortal Gu in it, the quantity was large.
This was created in his immortal aperture after Fang Yuan took reference from the jade light pit resource point of Northern Plains' Liu tribe.
Not long ago, Fang Yuan ransacked the jade light pit and took away all of the light path mortal Gu in it.
A portion of the light path Gu worms were placed into the aurora lights in the nine heavens, but the rest could not be sold easily.
Fang Yuan thus created a small jade light pit to temporarily store these light path mortal Gu.
Of course, this small jade light pit could not compare with the genuine article. The latter was a true resource point, it had a lot of light path dao marks and any insect group placed in it would become Gu over time. But the former was only created by Fang Yuan haphazardly to store his light path Gu worms, it had no production capabilities.
Mini Central Continent had the least development among the five mini regions.
Mini Northern Plains was at a higher level.
Mini Northern Plains had flat terrain that was mostly covered in snow and ice, becoming an icy plain.
But snow and ice were not its only features.
Closer to Eastern Sea, there was a shallow green beach, pieces of rocks were piled together to form a special lake. The aquatic plants inside were growing well, as spirit snakes lived in it.
This shallow beach was the blessed land of transformation path Gu Immortal Han Dong, after Fang Yuan annexed it, even the pinkish red spirit snake land spirit was moved over and managed the area for him.
Nearer to Western Desert, there was a bone burial field.
There was a mountain of skeletons here of all types, collarbones, skulls, leg bones, even those from flying animals, there were lots of immortal materials that were very valuable.
This bone burial field was the bone burial field that Fang Yuan took from Liu tribe.
After killing Liu tribe Gu Immortal Liu Yong, he moved this bone burial field directly into his immortal aperture.
Thus, he had this resource point that could generate bone path Gu worms.
"But compared to the original bone burial field, my bone burial field may have a lot of bones, but the bone path dao marks cannot match the original. In the original bone burial field, even the surrounding soil had bone path dao marks. Liu tribe can rebuild their bone burial field with no problems."
Fang Yuan knew this deeply.
Of course, Fang Yuan had already taken eighty percent of this bone burial field, the most valuable thing were these bones.
The remaining twenty percent was the soil terrain, Liu tribe could rebuild their bone burial field, but to regain its former scale, they would need to expend a lot of resources.
And closer to Central Continent.
This was a sparse grassland with all sorts of wildflowers and grass, there were mainly blood sickle grass and red axe flowers.
These were from Hu Immortal blessed land too.
This grassland was huge, surpassing Han Dong blessed land. There were some pink flower rabbits, fox groups, water wolf groups, earth skin boar groups, poison beard wolf groups, and others, there was even a shark fin wolf and a desolate beast giant horned sheep, they were living in this grassland.
Mini Western Desert had the highest temperature.
Because most of the fire path dao marks were gathered here, the soil was sandy.
There were three main resource points here.
The first were the eerie fire dragon python dens, there were a lot of them in a particular area.
The second was the the sand gull soil beach.
It produced sand gull soil.
Sand gull soil was a Gu material, it was also the food of connect luck Immortal Gu.
But Fang Yuan did not have connect luck Immortal Gu anymore, sand gull soil was now a resource sold to help Fang Yuan earn immortal essence stones.
At the center of the sand gull soil, there was the dead egg of the worldly sand gull. It was filled with cracks, there were several small holes on it, as transparent egg white flowed out of the cracks slowly. Using the life essence in this egg, one could turn ordinary sand into sand gull soil.
The third was the rotten black swamp. This was formed when Fang Yuan went through tribulation, it was filled with dark path dao marks. Fang Yuan had already modified it to become a dark path Gu worm resource point now, but because it had just been made, its production was low.
Other than these three resource points, there were two blessed lands.
One was an earth path blessed land resembling a rotting swamp, there were five desolate beast mud monsters inside, and all sorts of earth path mortal Gu, it was managed by the small mudman land spirit.
The other was Liu Yong's enslavement path blessed land, there were more than twenty dog desolate beasts in it. These desolate beasts were all purchased in treasure yellow heaven by Fang Yuan. This was because Liu Yong blessed land's ownership requirement was to have twenty hound type desolate beasts. Among those were his six bone armor hounds. The entire blessed land was managed by a black hound land spirit.
Mini Eastern Sea's development was about the same as Mini Western Desert.
Wu Yi Hai's blessed land was here.
This was a sea that was well managed by Wu Yi Hai, there were three ancient desolate beast horned divine tortoises, a huge field of ancient desolate plant silent corals, and six desolate beast white letter blue feather seagulls, managed by the sea turtle land spirit.
Other than that, there was the original dragonfish group and two desolate beast dragonfish, air bubble fish group, as well as some rare literature carps and some oil water. There were large numbers of blue jade carps, blood jade carps, and an ancient desolate beast hidden room oyster (obtained in the turbulent flow sea area).
There was another blood lake, it had a large amount of desolate beast blood and Gu Immortal blood, Fang Yuan had once placed blood asset Immortal Gu here to recover.
Right now, blood asset Immortal Gu had fully recovered, but this blood lake remained.
In the five mini regions, Mini Southern Border was the richest.
Five Light Mountain, Immortal Succession Mountain, Heaven Sealing Mountain and others, for a total of more than ten mountains here.
Stalactite cave, regretful spider group, a small number of rockmen, a huge forest with musical trees, tea streams, and qi death birds singing.
There was a Become Dragon Mound, Fang Yuan had used pulling mountain Immortal Gu to move it into his immortal aperture from Northern Plains.
And in the nine heavens.
A small field of aurora lights were in Mini Orange Heaven. There were a lot of floating flowing light fruits in the aurora lights, and because he had obtained a lot of light path Gu worms from the jade light pit, the scale of the aurora lights and flowing light fruits expanded greatly on its original foundation.
And in Mini Yellow Heaven, there was a small gold fragment current.
In Mini Azure Heaven, there was a lot of pill azure incense, this was the food of change soul Immortal Gu. There was a heavenly crystal storage pool, it came from Hei Fan grotto-heaven and had no use for now.
Mini Black Heaven had the walking meat tree, Mini White Heaven had multicolored overlord flowers, three ancient remnant heavenly dogs, one ancient eagle hound, and seven desolate beast eagle hounds.
Mini Purple Heaven had the upper extreme heavenly eagle, although it had only desolate beast strength. More than eighty eagle nests were floating here. These were the loot from attacking Iron Eagle blessed land. The original eagle nest had already been fully eaten by the upper extreme heavenly eagle.
In Mini Blue Heaven, there was a lot of cloud soil, on top of them were the arrow bamboo forest, a star fragment grass field, and an infant falling star hound. The two desolate beast spinefin star dragonfish had already been sold, during the battle to defend Hei Fan grotto-heaven.
There was also a meteorite pit that produced stellar fire Gu and falling meteor Gu. After killing Ye Lui Qun Xing and obtaining his blessed land, Fang Yuan also placed it here, it was a floating island filled with star fragments, the star core land spirit was managing it.
There were also some blessed lands scattered around, and some other desolate beasts and desolate plants, there was no need to discuss them in detail.
As for Dang Hun Mountain and Luo Po Valley, they were in Lang Ya blessed land.
Reverse Flow River was temporarily placed in Mini Eastern Sea by Fang Yuan.
As for Gu worms —
Rank nine wisdom Gu was in Lang Ya blessed land. Sovereign immortal fetus Gu had already been used, it would not be counted.
Rank eight Immortal Gu: Attitude, Wisdom Sword, Years Flow Like Water (sealed).
Rank seven Immortal Gu: Sword Eyebrows, Wave Sword, Flying Sword, Sword Escape, Calamity Beckoning (with Chu Du), Year, After, Dragon Breath, Affection, Perseverance.
Rank six Immortal Gu: Unravel Mystery, Woman's Heart, Blood Asset, Dark Limit, Dog Shit Luck, Change Form, Strength Qi, Self Strength, Flying Bear Strength, Pulling Mountain, Pulling Water, Landscape as Before, Man as Before, Star Eyes, Spring Autumn Cicada (contains heaven's will, stored in the immortal zombie body), Bone Spike, Perceivable Dao.
The mortal Gu were of all different types, they will be skipped.
Hei Cheng's dark arrow Immortal Gu had self-detonated, Fang Yuan did not obtain it.
In terms of captives, there was Fang Zheng (in Lang Ya blessed land), Hei Cheng (intact body), Ma Hong Yun's soul, Liu Yong's soul, Ye Lui Qun Xing's soul. As for Shi Nu's soul, Fang Yuan did not obtain it. Shadow Sect had incredible attainment in soul path, Fang Yuan could not stop the soul from dissipating even though he captured it.
As for the rest, like Dong Fang Chang Fan's soul, the featherman Gu Immortal's soul, the Eastern Sea Gu Immortals' souls, they were all sold to Lang Ya land spirit for sect contribution points. They were probably absorbed by Dang Hun Mountain and made into guts Gu by now.
There was also the featherman Gu Immortal slave Zhou Zhong, he was sent to Western Desert by Fang Yuan to establish another plan.
Huge assets!
This was Fang Yuan's current portfolio, it was no exaggeration.
In total, even though he was rank seven, he could fully rival ordinary rank eight Gu Immortals in assets.
Just those secluded domains of heaven and earth were incredibly valuable. And his Gu worms were plentiful, the number shockingly high!
Look at Gu Immortal Hei Fan, he was a rank eight Gu Immortal. how many Immortal Gu did he have?
But many Immortal Gu would create the problem of feeding them.
Fang Yuan was still at this stage, trying to provide food for his Immortal Gu.
The rank six and seven Immortal Gu were basically fine. The problems were attitude Gu and wisdom sword Immortal Gu, these two rank eight Immortal Gu.
The new perseverance Gu that he obtained fed on Reverse Flow River's water, Fang Yuan could easily feed it. Affection Gu fed on the same thing as love Gu, hope and fear, Fang Yuan could easily resolve that, he bought a large number of hope Gu and fear Gu from treasure yellow heaven.
For Fang Yuan, developing his immortal aperture was not the main point now.
As long as he slaughtered Gu Immortals and annexed their immortal apertures, his immortal aperture's foundation would continue to grow.
He was facing the problem of insufficient immortal essence.
Pursuing Ying Wu Xie and gang, the Reverse Flow River battle, and escaping from Mao Li Qiu, Fang Yuan expended a lot of immortal essence.
This caused his red date immortal essence storage to fall to a critical level.
"Originally, with my time path resources, the rate of time was fast, my immortal aperture produced a lot of red date immortal essence."
"But after using my time path methods, the immortal aperture's time is close to the five regions' time, I can only replenish my immortal essence through transactions."
Reverse flow protection seal used a lot of the Gu Immortal's mental energy and immortal essence.
Thankfully, Fang Yuan was a rank seven Gu Immortal now, if he was still using green grape immortal essence, he would have ran out of them.
Without red date immortal essence, Fang Yuan did not have much confidence.
While resting, he sold all of the desolate beast corpses in treasure yellow heaven.
These desolate beast corpses were immortal materials of high quantity. Fang Yuan had exterminated these desolate beast groups while he was pursuing Ying Wu Xie in Earth Trench.
Among them were a group of nightmare demonic colts, if these dream path immortal materials were sold in treasure yellow heaven, a huge commotion would arise, many Gu Immortals would fight for them.
But Fang Yuan kept all of these nightmare demonic colt corpses with him, he had better use for them.
After resting for a while, he made several transactions.
After subtracting the transaction fees of treasure yellow heaven, Fang Yuan earned a lot of immortal essence stones.
One immortal essence stone could convert to one bead of green grape immortal essence.
Fang Yuan was a rank seven Gu Immortal, using a hundred immortal essence stones would create one bead of red date immortal essence.
While he was replenishing his red date immortal essence stockpile, he received some information.
"This is a letter from Sixth Hair."
Fang Yuan felt strange.
After checking it, he felt shocked: "Shadow Sect wants to negotiate a truce with me, they even want us to work together?"
Author's Note: Collating Fang Yuan's assets was too tiring!

Chapter 1292: Attitude Gu's Problem
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Fang Yuan's gaze was flickering.
Shadow Sect's letter was out of his expectations.
But thinking about it, it was completely logical.
In the battle of Reverse Flow River, even though Fang Yuan did not obtain a lot of cultivation resources, his battle strength rose drastically, he was at the level of the strongest person under rank eight, on par with Feng Jiu Ge.
The increase in his battle strength gave rise to his heightened status.
Actually, before this letter, he also received others.
Like the one from Chu Du. Chu Du spoke very politely in the letter, congratulating Fang Yuan for his victory and expressing regret at not being there. Next, he talked about his own situation, Chu Sect was now Chu tribe, and the supreme elders were now all external supreme elders. The disciples of Chu Du were his god-children now, and finally, Chu Du talked about his own difficulties, because he created a tribe and became part of the righteous path, he had to expel Fang Yuan from Chu Sect. This was not his own wish, he was forced to do so.
There was also one from the Three Crazed Demon Eccentrics. Other than congratulating Fang Yuan, they invited him enthusiastically to explore Crazed Demon Cave. They said: Even if Northern Plains did not welcome him, Crazed Demon Cave would always be his home. These words were very mushy, it showed their brand new attitude towards him.
Regarding Longevity Heaven, they were putting up arrest warrants for Fang Yuan. After all, he killed Ma Hong Yun.
However, Liu tribe and Ye Lui tribe, who were pursuing Fang Yuan earlier, had quietened down.
Fang Yuan's battle strength shocked them completely. They quickly recalled the members they sent out to find him.
Instead, they were afraid that Fang Yuan would take revenge on them. After all, Fang Yuan's strength was incredibly famous in Northern Plains now, well beyond Chu Du.
"And now, Shadow Sect has sent a letter seeking cooperation. Hehe."
"Shadow Sect has a rank eight Gu Immortal, but he has a major weakness, he becomes insane at times." Fang Yuan thought about it, he had fought Purple Mountain True Monarch in Reverse Flow River, he learned something about his condition.
Actually, if Fang Yuan did not refine perseverance Gu and create the immortal killer move reverse flow protection seal, he would have likely lost in the battle of Reverse Flow River, he would have fallen into Ying Wu Xie's trap.
All along, Shadow Sect's remnant forces were Fang Yuan's biggest threat. Heaven's will set an arrangement using Fang Yuan to steal sovereign immortal fetus Gu, causing Fang Yuan and Shadow Sect to have unresolvable enmity.
If Shadow Sect wanted to refine sovereign immortal fetus Gu again, they would follow a method similar to what Old Ancestor Xue Hu was using to refine Fortune Rivalling Heaven, he used Ma Hong Yun as the main material for the Gu refinement.
If Fang Yuan ended up in Shadow Sect's hands, he would not escape that fate, he would be used as the immortal material for that Gu refinement, he would be better off dead.
But now, Fang Yuan's strength grew to a point where he could stand up to rank eight Gu Immortals, thus, Shadow Sect sought cooperation with him.
This difference in attitude made Fang Yuan sigh deeply.
Reverse flow protection seal was like a weaker Immortal Gu House, he could be unscathed against rank eights, this gave Fang Yuan a lot of confidence.
"But cooperating with Shadow Sect is like walking on a tightrope!"
Even though Sixth Hair was saying the truth, and the reasons he gave were legitimate, there were indeed benefits to all of them if they cooperated. Disregarding anything else, just the soul path trap in Fang Yuan's immortal zombie body, and the secret of the sovereign immortal body, could be settled if they cooperated.
However, Fang Yuan could not trust Shadow Sect!
It was still the same problem.
Fang Yuan and Shadow Sect could not trust each other.
They were mortal enemies, how could they easily turn into allies?
Even if they were rational people who prioritized benefits, the basis of cooperation between Gu Immortals was not a person's reputation, but their information path methods instead.
However, Fang Yuan was lacking in information path, this was his weakness. And Shadow Sect possessed powerful information path methods.
Spectral Soul was a great grandmaster in all paths, ignoring everything else, just looking at Zombie Alliance and the organization 'Defy' in Central Continent, they had used very powerful information path methods. Any organization was built upon the basis of alliance agreements.
Fang Yuan could not trust Shadow Sect and did not dare to. If by cooperating, he was plotted against by them using information path methods, he would be an idiot.
However, Fang Yuan did not reject them.
He sent back a letter to probe Shadow Sect's sincerity. In the letter, he listed a request — Give me attitude Gu directly if you want to cooperate.
Speaking of which, even though Fang Yuan had been using attitude Gu all along, it was not his, it was borrowed from Hei Lou Lan.
Back then, when lending the Immortal Gu, both sides had an agreement, there was a time when he needed to return it.
If he went past the time limit, Fang Yuan would not be able to use attitude Gu. That was because Hei Lou Lan's will was inside attitude Gu, not Fang Yuan's.
And now, there was little time until the deadline.
Attitude Gu was a legendary Gu worm that could be used with mental energy alone, it had outstanding effects with relatively low costs. Ever since Fang Yuan obtained it, he had passed many difficulties with its huge help. Even though attitude Gu had no offensive methods, it was legendary in the support aspect, it had unlimited uses.
Without attitude Gu, the influence on Fang Yuan would be huge.
Firstly, familiar face would be unusable. Even though Fang Yuan could use his transformation path grandmaster attainment level to redesign this immortal killer move, without that rank eight core, the entire immortal killer move would weaken severely. The chance of getting exposed when he pretended to be Wu Yi Hai would be huge, it was very dangerous.
"If I can use this opportunity to resolve attitude Gu's problem, that would be best." Fang Yuan was feeling somewhat hopeful.
It was about time, Fang Yuan used dark limit Immortal Gu to increase its effect on him.
Next, he stored his immortal aperture and set off.
Towards the southwest direction.
Central Continent, Heavenly Court.
Inside the hall, Fairy Zi Wei sat as she used her immortal killer move.
Her entire body was emitting faint purple smoke from all of her pores.
She was using wisdom path methods to deduce.
Soon after, Fairy Zi Wei's forehead was full of sweat as she opened her eyes.
"I have already used seven killer moves, but I could not deduce the location of our Gu Immortals." Fairy Zi Wei sighed.
Central Continent's Gu Immortals attacked Northern Plains, after the battle of Reverse Flow River, Fang Yuan fled the scene as Central Continent fought against Old Ancestor Xue Hu and Longevity Heaven in an intense battle.
Central Continent wanted to reinforce them and send help.
But this first batch of Central Continent Gu Immortals had gone missing in black heaven. Fairy Zi Wei could not deduce their locations, how could she save them? There was nowhere to send these reinforcements to!
Duke Long beside her opened his eyes.
He was still very weak, he was thin and frail like an old man.
"It seems that Giant Sun Immortal Venerable made many arrangements in Northern Plains, have you deduced Liu Guan Yi's location?" Duke Long asked.
Fairy Zi Wei shook her head: "He seems to have defensive methods to resist wisdom path deductions, but they are not strong. However, we know too little about him. If we had some crucial information, he would be exposed to us."
Duke Long heard this and nodded, after a while, he spoke: "So be it, continue deducing the location of our Gu Immortals, as well as Liu Guan Yi. Also, send me to Hidden Dragon Cave."
Eastern Sea.
Fang Yuan sighed helplessly, he had to place his immortal aperture down again.
Liu Guan Yi was famous in all five regions, Dark Limit's power was constantly being consumed on Fang Yuan's body, at a rapid rate.
To maintain his secret, Fang Yuan had to stop many times.
His immortal aperture's entrance opened, he drew in large amounts of heaven and earth qi.
The sovereign immortal body could absorb heaven and earth qi from all five regions.
Ordinary Gu Immortals could only absorb the heaven and earth qi of their region, if they placed their aperture in other regions, even though they could absorb it forcefully, because of the differing heaven and earth qi, their immortal apertures would shake and many resources would be destroyed.
Right now, the sovereign immortal aperture had too many resources, along with desolate beasts and ancient desolate beasts. Each time he absorbed heaven and earth qi, the commotion was huge, it was like a typhoon occurring.
Especially after he obtained Reverse Flow River, this secluded domain of heaven and earth had a heavy burden on the immortal aperture.

Chapter 1293: Thoughts of Trading Gu
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was fine if Reverse Flow River was outside, but if it stayed in the immortal aperture for long, it would consume a lot of heaven and earth qi. Once he lacked heaven and earth qi, his immortal aperture would be unstable.
Thus, Fang Yuan had to constantly place his immortal aperture outside to absorb heaven and earth qi and replenish it.
After he finished his absorption, Fang Yuan closed his immortal aperture's entrance.
Arriving at Reverse Flow River, he held an immortal zombie body.
It was his original body.
He tossed the immortal zombie into Reverse Flow River.
The immortal zombie body flowed along it.
Using perseverance Immortal Gu and Reverse Flow River, Fang Yuan made his experiments, he used all of the methods he could think of.
However, it was pointless.
"As expected."
"The immortal zombie body's soul path dao marks cannot be destroyed or suppressed by Reverse Flow River. After all, these are soul path dao marks, not Immortal Gu."
"Rank one to eight Immortal Gu cannot be used in Reverse Flow River. But dao marks still work. It is like before, before I conquered Reverse Flow River, my dao marks still defended me. Thus, rank eight Gu Immortals were the strongest in that river."
Fang Yuan continued to analyze and think about his failed experiment.
He wanted to use Reverse Flow River to resolve his soul path trap, it was impossible.
Fang Yuan was not disheartened, in fact, he had expected this before trying it.
He placed the immortal zombie body back inside Heaven Sealing Mountain, using the Gu formation to seal it again.
Next, he refined Gu.
A nightmare demonic colt corpse was in front of him.
Fang Yuan's fingers moved like blades, golden light shone as he move them.
The golden light entered the nightmare demonic colt's body and vanished. The nightmare demonic colt's front leg was cut off.
There was no blood.
These nightmare demonic colts died in battle, Fang Yuan asked his immortal aperture's land spirits to process these materials first. The blood had been drained and kept elsewhere.
Fang Yuan lifted the leg and immediately tore it away.
Next, he breathed out fire and started to process this leg.
Three days later, the leg was finally melted into a dark purple liquid.
Fang Yuan continued to throw in Gu worms to refine Gu.
Over a dozen steps took up only fifteen minutes.
The dark purple liquid exploded, as a hundred dream path mortal Gu flew around chaotically in the sky.
But Fang Yuan willed and they quickly went back to Fang Yuan's side.
A hundred dream path mortal Gu!
This was only a leg of this nightmare demonic colt.
Processing this immortal material took the most time. This step took three days. The rest of the steps only took less than an hour.
Such efficiency was very high, it was a clear contrast to Fang Yuan refining Gu in his dream realm previously.
In the dream realm, Fang Yuan had to collect dream path Gu materials before refining Gu. There was a risk in entering the dream, he even sometimes had to use the immortal killer move, unravel dream, to pass the dream realm. Refining dream path mortal Gu but using immortal killer moves, the cost was very high.
But now, Fang Yuan had these nightmare demonic colts, refining these dream path mortal Gu was no longer like before.
"It is like earlier, when I used the spring dream fruit to refine mortal Gu, the efficiency was great."
"Actually, my Gu refinement method can be improved. Like the cutting method earlier, I used metal path methods, it was not the best, some of the dream path dao marks were consumed. When processing immortal materials, I can try other methods to see if there is a better way."
While he was refining Gu, Sixth Hair sent another letter.
Using Lang Ya blessed land, Sixth Hair was already the middleman between Fang Yuan and Purple Mountain True Monarch.
In the letter, Purple Mountain True Monarch did not give in, he said bluntly: If Fang Yuan wanted to control attitude Gu, he would need to cooperate first. As long as they worked together, attitude Gu would be his. This time, Shadow Sect even mentioned the sovereign immortal aperture's drawback, as for what it was, they did not say it.
"Rank eight Gu Immortals are truly hard to deal with."
"Drawback? Is Shadow Sect lying, or is it true?"
This information had a huge impact on Fang Yuan.
But soon, he calmed down.
He had gone through many difficulties, this scheme or threat was nothing to him.
"It seems I can only work hard myself."
Fang Yuan sent a letter, he bargained and continued negotiating with Shadow Sect.
But he had already realized that Shadow Sect would not give attitude Gu to him before cooperating.
Fang Yuan started to design a new immortal killer move.
He wanted to use this immortal killer move to refine attitude Gu.
He was soon met with a problem, the reason was that even though he had many Immortal Gu, they were not suitable for this purpose.
It was not like the creation of reverse flow protection seal.
Fang Yuan had pulling water Immortal Gu and perseverance Immortal Gu, they were suitable as the two cores of this immortal killer move.
But now, Fang Yuan's other Immortal Gu were not especially useful for refining attitude Gu, they had limited connection to it and a lot of mortal Gu were needed.
"If only there is a chance to trade Gu."
This thought appeared in Fang Yuan's mind and rooted itself deeply.
Trading Immortal Gu!
Fang Yuan had too many Immortal Gu now, it was shocking.
But in fact, a portion of the Immortal Gu were not suitable for him, or rather, they did not have much use for the time being.
Wisdom Sword, Years Flow Like Water, even though they were not usable now, they were rank eight, Fang Yuan would not exchange them.
Fang Yuan did not have many sword path dao marks, his sword path attainment level was ordinary as well, but Sword Eyebrows, Wave Sword, and Sword Escape, these sword path Immortal Gu sustained a portion of his battle strength, he could not lose them.
Looking over the situation, change soul Immortal Gu could be traded.
Woman's Heart was poison path, it had little use as well.
Flying bear strength Immortal Gu was strength path, but Fang Yuan used ancient sword dragon transformation, this Immortal Gu was not useful.
There was also bone spike Immortal Gu, it was completely irrelevant to Fang Yuan's current circumstances.
Perceivable dao Immortal Gu could inspect dao marks, it had a mystical use, but to Fang Yuan, it was not very useful, he had to weigh up its value later.
All in all, Woman's Heart, Flying Bear Strength, and Bone Spike, these three Immortal Gu had little use to Fang Yuan, if they could be traded for other Immortal Gu, that would be best.
But trading Gu, how difficult was that?
During the five regions chaotic war, it was very common. But now, there were few opportunities for Gu Immortals to undergo high end trading sessions.
This way, Fang Yuan continued to travel and stop.
He wanted to go faster, but it was too difficult.
Along the way, when placing his immortal aperture, he refined dream path mortal Gu and deduced immortal killer moves, attempting to refine attitude Gu to make it his own.
This time, as Fang Yuan stored his immortal aperture and prepared to set off, his expression suddenly changed, he noticed traces of Gu Immortals fighting.

Chapter 1294: Reappearance of Chu Ying
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"We're finally past the regional wall." Ying Wu Xie let out a breath of air, looking at the sea, he felt mentally fatigued.
Hei Lou Lan and Bai Ning Bing, who were beside him, were in no better condition.
After leaving Northern Plains, Shadow Sect's group left for Eastern Sea. They did not have the sovereign immortal body, each time they passed the regional wall, it was a huge test.
Thankfully, they were all powerful and were elites among Gu Immortals. Even though their immortal apertures were damaged, they did not die.
They were not leaving urgently.
After entering Eastern Sea, they chose a random island.
On this nameless island, Ying Wu Xie directed Bai Ning Bing and Hei Lou Lan to start arranging a refinement path Gu formation.
The Gu formation succeeded in activation, Ying Wu Xie came to the center and took out the purple gold rock, processing this immortal material.
As for Bai Ning Bing and Hei Lou Lan, they were outside the Gu formation, standing to defend against any intruders.
Not long after, the purple gold rock melted as the miniman Gu Immortal, Purple Mountain, True Monarch woke up again.
He was a rank eight Gu Immortal, if he wanted to cross the five regions, he would normally have to use black heaven or white heaven. But now, the parts of black heaven and white heaven above Northern Plains were influenced by Luck Suppression Heavenly Palace, it was controlled by Longevity Heaven.
Shadow Sect's group were not going to enter a trap. The outcome of Central Continent's Gu Immortals were displayed to them.
Shadow Sect had deep foundation, Purple Mountain True Monarch went into hibernation again as a purple gold rock formed around his body.
His aura was completely concealed, his vitality was indiscernible, he was just like a dead object.
Using such incredible methods, Ying Wu Xie brought Purple Mountain True Monarch through the regional walls and arrived in Eastern Sea.
The thin layer of purple gold rock was easily refined by Ying Wu Xie, who had the right method, it was way easier than the time when Lady Wan Shou had to process it.
"Eastern Sea…" Purple Mountain True Monarch woke up and sighed as he looked at the vast sea area.
Under his lead, Shadow Sect's group first dismantled the Gu formation and stored its components, wiping all traces of it.
Then, the four Gu Immortals started to use the ancient battle formation Omni-directional Travel.
A moment later, they arrived in the turbulent flow sea area.
Purple Mountain True Monarch led the way, none of the sea currents could pose as obstacles.
Soon, Shadow Sect's group arrived at the center of the turbulent flow sea area.
"Hmm? Where is the tributary of the River of Time?" Unable to find the thing they needed, Ying Wu Xie asked this in confusion.
"Don't tell me this tributary of the River of Time is already gone, it is at the fringe of the turbulent flows?" Hei Lou Lan guessed.
After some investigation, Purple Mountain True Monarch found some clues.
"That tributary of the River of Time has been taken away by someone." He said grimly.
"How can that be? Who did it? Is it Fang Yuan?" Ying Wu Xie first thought of Fang Yuan.
But Purple Mountain True Monarch shook his head: "This method should not be his. It is someone else, forget about it. Since we cannot use this tributary of the River of Time, we will go to the next location, there is a tributary of the River of Time there too."
Shadow Sect's group left the turbulent flow sea area again.
Elsewhere in Eastern Sea.
There was a vast sea and sky.
Above the sea, a life and death battle was unfolding.
"Quickly leave, I was hit by his lightning soul needle, he can sense my location, I cannot escape, I cannot implicate you." Immortal Hua Die lay in a man's arms, speaking weakly.
This woman was dressed in a raiment, her sleeves were fluttering, she wore light pink. Her eyes were showing signs of weakness, blood was flowing out of the corner of her mouth, her injuries were severe.
Especially on her skin, there were tiny sparks shining at times, it was the sign of the immortal killer move lightning soul needle's effect.
"No." The male Gu Immortal rejected unhesitantly.
He had broad shoulders and a thin waist, he wore a suit of battle armor, and even though he was covered in injuries, his valiance could not be concealed.
"How can I abandon you? If I escape now, how can I face Lord Miao Ming Shen?" Even though he said that, when he looked towards Immortal Hua Die, there was love in his eyes.
He was Feng Jiang.
Feng Jiang, Immortal Hua Die, Gui Qi Ye, these three were subordinates of the Eastern Sea space path expert Miao Ming Shen.
Miao Ming Shen wanted to find a tributary of the River of Time in the turbulent flow sea area, thus these three Gu Immortals would take turns to guard the turbulent flow sea area. When they saw any Gu Immortals approaching the turbulent flow sea area, they would talk to them and ask for their help.
"Then you lovebirds can die together!" There was only one person in pursuit, he had rank seven cultivation level.
He was named Ge Wen, he wore a blue robe and had tough, dry skin, like tree bark. His eyes were shining with red light, his teeth were sharp, he had a sinister expression.
This person was quite a senior and had some reputation in Eastern Sea.
He was a lightning path grandmaster, but once when he was using an immortal killer move, he failed and suffered a backlash, leading to him having no choice but to become an immortal zombie.
Even so, he had outstanding battle strength, he possessed two Immortal Gu, the rank six Immortal Hua Die and Feng Jiang were forced to flee.
"Hand over the year cycle powder, you two are quite daring to snatch my immortal material. If you hand it over, I might leave you a proper corpse!" Ge Wen chuckled as he approached with overwhelming demonic aura.
Immortal Hua Die was anxious: "We found this year cycle powder first, how can it be yours?"
"I have been here for half a month already, but the moment I looked away, you two took it!" Ge Wen growled.
Immortal Hua Die was incensed: "Lord Miao Ming Shen found this year cycle powder three years ago and set a Gu formation here. Once every few months, I would come there and take care of it. No matter how you distort the facts, you cannot change them."
Immortal Hua Die said the truth, Ge Wen stopped denying it, his expression turned grim: "Hmph, you have a sharp tongue, you will be the first one I kill."
"Demonic scoundrel, don't be cocky!"
At this moment, there was a clear voice that resounded in their ears.
"Who?" Ge Wen's expression changed, he shouted.
The moment he said that, the sea level rose up like a small mound.
Next, from within the 'mound', a fierce beast charged out, causing winds to blow and water the splatter.
A blue scaled sea dragon appeared before the three immortals, speaking: "Demon, hand over your life!"
The three immortals saw this and understood that this blue scaled sea dragon was a Gu Immortal's transformation.
Immortal Hua Die and Feng Jiang were happy and shocked.
Ge Wen was furious: "Why are you a busybody! Take my killer move."
Saying this, he breathed in deeply, spitting at his right palm.
He did not spit out saliva, of course, it was an egg-sized flash of lightning.
The lightning entered Ge Wen's right palm and exploded into a beam of lightning that shot out from his palm.
The blue scaled sea dragon did not dodge, it opened its mouth towards the approaching beam of lightning.
Dragon's breath!
Ge Wen saw this and laughed in his mind: "My move can last for several minutes, while dragon breath needs to be used breath by breath, how can he last?"
But the blue scaled sea dragon's breath did not end!
The dragon's breath was like a beam of water colliding with the beam of lightning, next, the powerful dragon breath smashed through the lightning pillar.
In a few breath's time, it got to Ge Wen.
"How can this be? What dragon breath is this?!" Ge Wen showed disbelief and shock on his face.
He quickly dodged.
But the blue scaled sea dragon turned around and its dragon breath continued to sweep the battlefield.
Ge Wen frowned deeply, grunting: "You guys are lucky, I will spare you this time!"
Saying this, he retreated, turning into a flash of lightning with incredible speed.
The blue scaled sea dragon did not give chase, it watched as Ge Wen left.
"He wants to return to the Gu formation, a lot of the year cycle powder is left." Immortal Hua Die pointed out Ge Wen's plan.
Feng Jiang placed Immortal Hua Die down and cupped his fists at the blue scaled sea dragon: "Virtuous friend, you defeated the powerful foe, we will not forget the gratitude of saving our lives. I would like to know your esteemed name!"
The blue scaled sea dragon suddenly transformed into an ordinary looking Gu Immortal, he smiled: "I am Chu Ying, Fairy Hua Die, have you been well?"
Immortal Hua Die was surprised and joyful: "To think that you are Chu Ying!"
Seeing Feng Jiang's gaze, Immortal Hua Die explained: "It was thanks to Chu Ying that we found that tributary of the River of Time in the turbulent flow sea area. He was the reason Lord Miao Ming Shen could take away that tributary of the River of Time."

Chapter 1295: Eastern Sea Trading Convention
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"So there was such a connection!" Hearing Immortal Hua Die's words, Feng Jiang's expression turned to joy, his suspicions were dispelled.
This Chu Ying was naturally Fang Yuan in disguise.
After he stored his immortal aperture, he found that there were traces of Gu Immortals fighting in the sea areas around him.
Out of curiosity, he followed the traces and wanted to see if there were some gains for him. In the end, he found that Immortal Hua Die and another person (Feng Jiang) were being pursued by an enemy.
And the pursuer was a rank seven immortal zombie. At this point, such a person was a weakling to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan had helped Immortal Hua Die some time ago, he wanted to get in contact with the space path Gu Immortal expert, Miao Ming Shen, who was behind Immortal Hua Die.
This person knew of a method to enter and explore the blue dragon whale.
And this blue dragon whale was not ordinary either, it was nurtured by Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable and awakened its immortal aperture, it possessed a huge treasury.
It was like the dog tail life extending ferret Mao Li Qiu of Northern Plains.
But the blue dragon whale's wisdom was not enhanced, it could only swim freely in the ocean according to its instincts.
Not only did Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable awaken its immortal aperture, he also used an immortal killer move on its body. Thus, this blue dragon whale had almost no predators or dangers.
The blue dragon whale was mild in temperament and posed no danger, but its defensive power rendered all of those who wanted to harm it helpless.
This was the style of Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable.
According to a secret rumor in the five hundred years of his previous life, Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable had left a true inheritance in the blue dragon whale's body.
Fang Yuan remembered that Miao Ming Shen had explored the world inside the blue dragon whale many times. However, even though he had gains each time, he did not obtain the true inheritance from start to finish.
Fang Yuan naturally cared about this. Thus, when he saw Immortal Hua Die being pursued, he realized that this was a rare chance, he could express goodwill to Miao Ming Shen again.
Thus, he intervened and chased the lightning path immortal zombie Ge Wen away.
He did not transform into an ancient sword dragon.
The ancient sword dragon form could not be used openly now.
Because Liu Guan Yi had used it to kill Ye Lui Qun Xing in Northern Plains.
Right now, Liu Guan Yi was the Reverse Flow River Lord that was able to go unscathed against rank eights. His reputation was renowned all over the world, almost everyone knew of him.
Countless people were interested in Liu Guan Yi, they tried to deduce his origins.
The fact that Liu Guan Yi possessed an ancient sword dragon transformation was known to all.
Thus, once Fang Yuan used the ancient sword dragon transformation, other Gu Immortals would immediately think of Liu Guan Yi.
This was the burden of reputation.
Even though Fang Yuan could not use ancient sword dragon transformation, he had change form Immortal Gu, he could turn into countless things in this world at will.
Thus, he transformed into the blue scaled sea dragon that was exclusive to Eastern Sea.
This was also an ancient desolate beast.
But its might could not rival the ancient sword dragon.
However, Fang Yuan's dragon breath Immortal Gu could still be used.
Worth mentioning was that the dragon breath of the blue scaled sea dragon was also used breath by breath. Earlier, he could defeat the lightning path immortal zombie Ge Wen because Fang Yuan had used perseverance Immortal Gu at the same time.
Rank seven perseverance Immortal Gu, after obtaining it, Fang Yuan had tried to learn more about its ability.
Gu Immortals nurture, use, and refine, these three aspects needed a lot of time and investment.
After being in Eastern Sea for several days, Fang Yuan had already understood some of the uses of perseverance Immortal Gu.
Other than conquering Reverse Flow River, perseverance Immortal Gu could allow other Immortal Gu or immortal killer moves to last for a longer time.
For example, the blue scaled sea dragon's breath.
If Fang Yuan used dragon breath Immortal Gu solely, it could not break away from the normal limits of dragon breath, it would be used breath by breath, it could only be increased in strength.
But if he used perseverance Immortal Gu along with the dragon breath, then the dragon breath would be used for a long time without stopping!
Of course, he could not sustain it for too long. Dragon breath had a huge burden on the throat, even real blue scaled sea dragons breathed it out breath by breath. This was the self-defense mechanism of lifeforms after a long process of evolution.
Thankfully, although that Ge Wen had some fame, he retreated wisely after a short battle with Fang Yuan, realizing that he was a strong opponent.
After all, demonic path Gu Immortals focused on profits.
"This friend is?" Fang Yuan looked at Immortal Hua Die.
"I am one of Lord Miao Ming Shen's subordinates, Feng Jiang. Lord Chu, you are my savior, I wonder how I can thank you." Feng Jiang immediately introduced himself, it was very passionate and filled with gratitude towards Fang Yuan.
"No need to thank me, it was just a helping hand. I met you two coincidentally, thus I stepped in. Even though I am a secluded cultivator in Eastern Sea, I have been moving around recently, I cannot stand these demonic acts. I have this personality, and because Fairy Hua Die is an acquaintance, I had no reason not to help." Fang Yuan was very humble.
Immortal Hua Die and Feng Jiang heard these words and felt closer to Fang Yuan.
The three immortals talked for a while as Immortal Hua Die sighed: "It is a pity. There was so much year cycle powder, they are mostly in Ge Wen's hands now. Our efforts have been in vain. We should have made that Gu formation even more hidden."
Feng Jiang consoled: "Alright, Little Die, don't blame yourself. Eastern Sea is so big, but Ge Wen found this Gu formation so coincidentally. We are not skilled in formation path, this Gu formation is already the best that can be done. If we hide it even more deeply, we will need Immortal Gu."
Fang Yuan smiled: "I have something to say, even though the year cycle powder is lost, your lives are preserved, this is hope. Don't be disheartened, there are losses and gains in life, aren't our lives just a cycle of losing and winning anyway."
Feng Jiang laughed: "Lord Chu speaks deeply, this is truly insightful."
Immortal Hua Die's brows were locked, she was sorrowful: "I understand this too, and at a different time, so be it if this year cycle powder was lost. But right now, Lord Miao Ming Shen is attending a trading convention, one of his Gu Immortal friends need this. Lord Miao Ming Shen has already agreed to his request, there are only a few days left until the convention, but the year cycle powder was taken away, what should we do?"
Hearing this, Feng Jiang's expression sank: "That's right, we are going to return empty handed. Even if Lord Miao Ming Shen does not blame us, we will be at fault, we failed in our task. And most importantly, we will cause Lord Miao Ming Shen's reputation to suffer, this is our fault!"
"Trading convention?" Fang Yuan was moved.
Earlier, he was thinking about trading away some of the unsuitable Immortal Gu that he had.
To think that this would come in such a timely manner, he actually encountered one of Eastern Sea's trading conventions.
Eastern Sea was the most abundant in resources out of the five regions, even Central Continent could not match it.
Eastern Sea Gu Immortals were usually more affluent.
This resulted in Eastern Sea's trading conventions to be very famous in the five regions, they involved high-end items and often, Gu Immortals would exchange Immortal Gu with each other.
Of course, this was not to say that the other four regions had no trading conventions. But they were too few of them, Fang Yuan could not join them either.
Only Eastern Sea's trading conventions served as his opportunity.
"I have Immortal Gu that I want to trade away, is it possible for me to join this trading convention?" Fang Yuan did not hide his intention, he asked directly.
Immortal Hua Die and Feng Jiang looked at each other, the former said: "This trading convention is very high class, we are not qualified to join it, nor do we have the rights to recommend others. But Lord Chu Ying is different, you are our benefactor. How about this, can you follow us to meet with our lord, and see what he says?"
"Alright." Fang Yuan nodded: "Shall we set off now?"
He was very rushed.
Because time was limited.
Dark Limit's power was dwindling as other Gu Immortals deduced matters about him.
Immortal Hua Die and Feng Jiang were a little hesitant, their mission to collect the year cycle powder had failed, they actually wanted Fang Yuan to help them take back the year cycle powder, but they could not ask it outright.
Actually, Fang Yuan was aware about their intentions, but during their conversation, he held the initiative of the topic and did not give them any chance to ask.
Right now, even though Fang Yuan could go unscathed against rank eight Gu Immortals.
There was a flaw, it could not be used openly.
Be it ancient sword dragon transformation or reverse flow protection seal, they could not be easily used. Once he did, he would have to consider how to keep them a secret.
If too many traces were leaked out, Fang Yuan's identities and secrets might get deduced.
By then, Wu Yi Hai's identity would be exposed too.
Fang Yuan had gone through so much to enter the super Gu formation and interact with the giant dream realm. If he lost this opportunity, it would be a terrible setback to his future cultivation.
Immortal Hua Die and Feng Jiang had no choice, they could only bring Fang Yuan away from here.
They really had no courage to ask him.
He had saved their lives, but they still wanted their benefactor to fight against a strong foe. They really had no face to ask him to do that.
The three immortals moved quickly without stopping.
But along the way, they talked and conversed a lot.
As a matter of fact, Immortal Hua Die had seen Fang Yuan twice and had a deep impression of him, but she was unclear about the background of this Chu Ying.
Fang Yuan knew about her intention to probe him, thus he gave her half-truths about his origin.
In the five hundred years of his previous life, he had stayed in Eastern Sea for some time. Thus, his words were not lies. Especially some small details and experiences that he had, they were realistic, these experiences resonated deeply with Immortal Hua Die and Feng Jiang.
How could Fang Yuan show a flaw here?
By the time they met Miao Ming Shen, Immortal Hua Die and Feng Jiang already had very good feelings towards this 'easygoing' rank seven secluded cultivator, Chu Ying.
But they did not know that Fang Yuan was the true demon. Compared to him, what was immortal zombie Ge Wen's act of snatching some year cycle powder?
Not long ago, Fang Yuan had taken Reverse Flow River directly from Old Ancestor Xue Hu!

Chapter 1296: Light Shine Fungi
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Eastern Sea.
In an ordinary sea area, there was a nameless mountain, it was desolate and barren, there were only rocks and caves in it.
Several Gu Immortals descended from the sky.
Among them were Fang Yuan, Immortal Hua Die and Feng Jiang.
"To think that this trading convention would be held on such an empty island." Fang Yuan stepped on the island as he sighed to himself.
"Brother Chu, you might be unaware that large trading conventions like this usually have their locations decided several days before the meeting, to prevent others from having ill intentions." A Gu Immortal beside Fang Yuan said.
This male Gu Immortal was neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin. In terms of appearance, he looked ordinary, only his flat and wide nose left a heavy impression on others.
This person was a famous rank seven space path Gu Immortal expert in Eastern Sea — Miao Ming Shen.
In terms of appearance, he was not outstanding, but after Fang Yuan interacted with him, even though it was a short time, he could feel that this person was impressive, his appearance was deceiving.
Fang Yuan had saved Immortal Hua Die and Feng Jiang under the identity of Chu Ying, learning about the trading convention.
Next, he followed Immortal Hua Die and Feng Jiang to meet Miao Ming Shen.
Miao Ming Shen had no hesitation as he agreed to Fang Yuan's request of joining the trading convention: "Friend, you have helped me twice, you are also the benefactor of Little Die and Little Feng. This is just a trading convention, how can I reject you? Please do grace us with your presence!"
He was a rank seven Gu Immortal expert, but Chu Ying was a secluded cultivator with no reputation. Yet Miao Ming Shen did not put on airs, he was very amiable. He spoke politely and warmly to others.
Thus, Fang Yuan and Miao Ming Shen came to attend the trading convention.
The four of them had just stepped onto the island when a Gu Immortal came out of a rock.
"Miao Ming Shen, you are here." A midget Gu Immortal with a big head and small body welcomed them.
"Haha, Tu Tou Tuo, long time no see!" Miao Ming Shen said warmly, he laughed as he quickly went up to the person.
"Come, let me introduce the two of you. This is a secluded cultivator of Eastern Sea, Chu Ying, this is a rare earth path grandmaster in Eastern Sea, Tu Tou Tuo." Miao Ming Shen said.
"Greetings to you." Fang Yuan was polite but his expression was stiff, he pretended to be a secluded cultivator who was not good at interacting with people, it was flawless.
Tu Tou Tuo looked at Fang Yuan with several glances, he smiled with his yellow teeth: "You received Miao Ming Shen's recommendation and are here for the first time? Haha, in the past, I also joined in after Miao Ming Shen's recommendation."
Tu Tou Tuo was also quite polite.
He thought: "Miao Ming Shen has good foresight, the people he invites are all talented experts. This Chu Ying looks unassuming and has no reputation, but since he has Miao Ming Shen's recommendation, he is not simple."
While thinking of that, Tu Tou Tuo said: "Follow me, I was the first to arrive, there is nothing much to do but wait now, we can create a space underground first."
"I will trouble Brother Tu. After all, this time, I am the host of the trading convention…" Miao Ming Shen said courteously.
"Haha, it is just an underground cave, it is nothing much. Come!" Tu Tou Tuo looked at Miao Ming Shen like an old friend, he grabbed his arm and led him underground.
Everywhere he went, the tough ground melted like flowing water, opening a wide path that extended underground.
Tu Tou Tuo and Miao Ming Shen walked ahead while Fang Yuan, Feng Jiang and Immortal Hua Die walked behind them.
Tu Tou Tuo and Miao Ming Shen talked along the way.
Miao Ming Shen had incredible interpersonal skills, Tu Tou Tuo was laughing as he talked, his laughter was reverberating in the cave.
Furthermore, Miao Ming Shen did not give the cold shoulder to Fang Yuan, he turned around to talk to Fang Yuan.
His words seemed ordinary, but they felt natural and did not make Fang Yuan feel like he was alone, or that he was neglected.
The underground cave was very ordinary, but it was wide enough.
There was a platform, and several chairs in front of it, they were huge. There were carvings on the chairs, they were fluid patterns. This showed Tu Tou Tuo's incredible skills, and the meticulous aspect that he had.
Fang Yuan counted, there were six chairs.
"It seems that this trading convention only had six people originally. Immortal Hua Die and Feng Jiang are not part of this, they will leave when the trading convention starts and guard the area." Fang Yuan guessed.
"There is a new member, I will add a chair." Tu Tou Tuo stomped lightly as a mound appeared on the ground, it started to rotate like a ball.
In the blink of an eye, a chair was carved out like it was made by an artisan.
Fang Yuan and the rest sat down while waiting for the other immortals.
Not long later, two Gu Immortals appeared.
The former was a girl, she looked like a child with two ponytail braids, her eyes were round and watery, but there was deep maturity in them.
She was Tong Hua.
A rank seven light path Gu Immortal famous in the north of Eastern Sea.
The latter was a male immortal. He had an aquiline nose, his gaze was dark and he wore a black robe, having messy hair.
He was Wu Ma Yang, a dark path Gu Immortal, having exemplary battle strength among rank seven Gu Immortals. His immortal killer move, dark arrow veil, had once defeated three rank seven Gu Immortals working together, this battle caused his reputation to surge in Eastern Sea for some time.
Tong Hua talked a lot, while Wu Ma Yang was uncommunicative.
The two sides continued to mingle, and under Miao Ming Shen's intentional guidance, the atmosphere became congenial.
Fifteen minutes later, a third Gu Immortal entered this space.
He was Gong Liang Bai, a wisdom path Gu Immortal who also cultivated wood path. Wisdom path was his main focus, but wisdom path Gu Immortals were few in numbers, especially those like Fang Yuan who possessed a complete wisdom path Gu Immortal true inheritance.
However, not only did Gong Liang Bai have a complete wisdom path true inheritance, he even had some achievements in his cultivation, even though he could not match the top three wisdom path experts, among lone immortals, he had a huge network and was willing to deduce for people in exchange for payment.
The saying goes: Jia Dan sits in twin polar, Hua An hides in Nan Gong, there is also Dragon Head Tortoise, living inside adversity sea.
This saying refers to the publicly recognized three most powerful wisdom path Gu Immortals in Eastern Sea currently.
Song Jia Dan, Hua An, they were righteous path members, they rarely deduced for lone immortals. And Dragon Head Tortoise was always inside adversity sea, his traces were hard to find, it was hard for people to seek help from him.
"Gong Liang Bai, after these trades, let's have a good talk. I have some things for you to deduce." While talking, Miao Ming Shen said.
"Is it that Liu Guan Yi? I have received many requests from others, they are all after this person." Gong Liang Bai said.
"Of course not." Miao Ming Shen denied.
Gong Liang Bai nodded: "Then that is fine. Speaking of which, I have already made five deductions, I failed each time. There are simply too few clues, and that Liu Guan Yi has methods to defend against deductions."
Fang Yuan listened by the side, his expression did not change, though he felt a little awkward.
This topic attracted everyone's attention.
Tu Tou Tuo shouted: "This Liu Guan Yi is so popular now, he is completely famous!"
"Anyone who can render rank eight Gu Immortals unable to deal with them as a rank seven will go down in history." Tong Hua sighed.
"Resisting rank eight with rank seven cultivation level, this is truly a goal to set." Miao Ming Shen smiled bitterly: "It is a pity that I've had no opportunity to befriend such a person."
Fang Yuan was sitting right beside him, hearing this, he said expressionlessly: "I heard that Liu Guan Yi could resist rank eights as a rank seven because he became the Reverse Flow River Lord. This Reverse Flow River is a secluded domain of heaven and earth, but how can it be so powerful as to leave rank eight existences without options?"
Thus, the immortals' topic of discussion turned from Liu Guan Yi to Reverse Flow River.
Fang Yuan had subtly changed the conversation's direction.
The Gu Immortals talked until night time.
When night appeared and the moon rose, the trading convention began.
The other two Gu Immortals also had arrived.
The trading convention officially began.
According to the rules set earlier, Tong Hua stood on the platform.
"This is a desolate plant, I found it when exploring a deep sea. That place was dark as an abyss, but I saw some light far away. When I found the source, I took several minutes to reach it. The place was like a paradise of light path. It was so dazzling with rays of light extending immeasurably far."
"Initially, I thought that it was light from the corals. But soon, I found some green fungus on the surface of the corals. This green fungus is a desolate plant seen all over that place, I named it light shine fungus, it contains light path dao marks and can emit strong light."
Tong Hua talked about her findings, and the process of her naming.
Fang Yuan was surprised, to think that he found something he wanted when the trading convention had just started.
Light shine fungi!

Chapter 1297: Divination Tortoise Shell Immortal Gu
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Fang Yuan needed light.
He had first used aurora light, he had bought large numbers of dazzling light Gu to increase the aurora light in his immortal aperture. The more intense the aurora light, the more flowing light fruits could be formed. And rank eight attitude Gu fed on these fruits.
Light shine fungus was a type of desolate plant that provided light which was not like the multicolored aurora light.
But this was not absolute.
Humans had the highest intelligence, they were most skilled in adapting flexibly. There were methods to modify and graft plants in this world.
Wood path Gu Immortals excelled at this.
Each path has its own specialties, and wood path Gu Immortals were often skilled at managing immortal apertures.
Thus, if Fang Yuan brought in light shine fungi, he might be able to modify them in the future using wood path methods into aurora light shine fungi, it was possible.
Other than attitude Gu, there was wisdom sword Immortal Gu.
Wisdom sword Immortal Gu fed on multicolored overlord flowers.
If Fang Yuan wanted to plant multicolored overlord flowers on a large scale, he needed to fulfill three conditions. Illumination, sweet scents and pearl soil.
The latter two were easy to achieve, but illumination was hard.
Fang Yuan's immortal aperture had light path dao marks, and he had also annexed a light path blessed land, but it was far from Fang Yuan's goal.
If he used light shine fungi, he would be able to solve the problem of mass production of multicolored overlord flowers.
But there was an uncertainty in this.
Light shine fungi grew in the deep sea, could they still survive in other environments?
"This should not be a problem, after all, light shine fungus is a desolate plant."
"Even ignoring aurora lights, earlier, I plundered Liu tribe's jade light pit, I gained a lot of replenishment. Even though I am still not at the required standard, I am close."
"But multicolored overlord flowers are different, their scale is far from optimal. I have too few light path dao marks currently, and not all of my light path dao marks can gather at the multicolored overlord flowers. My other lifeforms need light too."
"Oh, that's right, I have transformation path dao marks, in crucial moments, I can convert them to light path dao marks temporarily."
While Fang Yuan was thinking, Tong Hua spoke: "I am willing to trade these desolate plant light shine fungi for storey building water elephants, three of them."
Once she said that, a Gu Immortal responded: "Storey building water elephants… I have a few, how many storeys do you want from the water elephants?"
Storey building water elephants were a special type of beast in Eastern Sea, they had varying sizes, with white tusks and blue skin. Water elephants with one storey buildings were like boats and had blue jade exoskeleton on their backs resembling buildings. Two storey building water elephants were larger, with two floors of blue jade exoskeleton on their backs.
Similarly, six storey building water elephants had wide backs and were like huge boats, they were desolate beasts. Seven storey building water elephants were ancient desolate beasts, and eight storey building water elephants were immemorial desolate beasts, they were extremely rare. Nine storey building water elephants did not exist.
Be it beasts or plants, or even variant humans, there were no rank nine versions of them. Among humans, there were only ten of them, rank nine Gu Venerables, they were unique among all lifeforms.
Tong Hua showed the scale of her light shine fungi and told the Gu Immortals that she wanted a total of three six storey building water elephants.
This was not expensive, it was very standard.
But that Gu Immortal frowned: "I only have one six storey building water elephant, the light shine fungi can be split up, would you like to trade?"
Tong Hua hesitated.
He might not be speaking the truth.
After considering it, Tong Hua nodded: "Then let's trade."
Thus, the first deal was made, both sides transacted quickly.
"I would like some light shine fungi, but I do not have storey building water elephants, do you accept immortal essence stones?" Fang Yuan asked.
Tong Hua shook her head, but she did not reject him entirely: "If there are no storey building water elephants, never mind. But my light shine fungi will be sold in treasure yellow heaven, you can buy them then."
In fact, Eastern Sea had mostly water path Gu Immortals.
And light shine fungi suited Eastern Sea Gu Immortals a lot. Like Wu Yi Hai for example, his immortal aperture was a sea.
Tong Hua was only testing the waters with this new discovery, seeing if she could gain benefits from it.
As for selling them for immortal essence stones, Tong Hua did not want that.
Because she did not know the market price.
This was a new finding, she was selling it for the first time, Tong Hua did not know its value.
However, she was very expectant about it.
Thus, she rejected Fang Yuan without hesitation. What if this light shine fungus was very popular in treasure yellow heaven, then wouldn't her sale price be at a loss now?
But if she sold it for too high of a price, the other party would not trade. Treasure yellow heaven was the best place for that.
Tong Hua did not want to sell it, Fang Yuan was helpless.
But he understood her.
This was a new desolate plant, she could use some methods to raise the prices later.
Even though this world's economy was not developed, Gu Immortals were astute people, they knew how to jack up prices.
Especially this light shine fungus, in the world, currently only Tong Hua had it.
If it were Fang Yuan, he would also elevate the price at the initial stage to earn a huge profit.
This light shine fungus was just a rank six desolate plant, once it was in the market for some time, people would research about it, and Tong Hua's monopoly would be gone.
After all, Eastern Sea was so big, light shine fungi would not grow in only one place.
Gu Immortals could create a method to seek out light shine fungi after some research. That would cause the supply of light shine fungi to rise sharply.
Seeing that no one else was interested, Tong Hua stepped down.
Next, the second Gu Immortal went up onto the platform.
This was the rule of the trading convention.
In each round, the Gu Immortals would go up in order that was decided earlier. They could only put up one resource each round.
This ensured relative fairness.
As for Fang Yuan, a newly joined member, he could also transact and go on the platform, but he was the last person.
"This is marrow sucking stone, rank seven immortal material, I want some thousand year floating wood." The Gu Immortal who went up expressed himself quickly, explaining his item.
Once he said that, he displayed it.
This marrow sucking stone was black and looked like an ordinary rock by the beach. But in fact, as long as a life form that had bone marrow got close to it, they would be sucked inside.
Thus, marrow sucking stone was known as a demon stone.
Demon stone was a name coined by mermen.
Mermen were a type of variant human, most mermen in the world lived in Eastern Sea.
Mermen could live underwater and breathe, when they met marrow sucking stones, they had suffered from them, thus, they feared and called them demon stones.
In Eastern Sea's history, there were some merman tribes who treated these demon stones as deities to worship.
But to Gu Immortals, this marrow sucking stone was just an immortal material.
This transaction was successful as well.
Thousand year floating wood might be rare in the market, but the Gu Immortals here were all affluent, otherwise, they would not have gathered for this trading convention.
Birds of a feather flock together, Gu Immortals who associated with Miao Ming Shen were not simple.
One could say, this small trading convention was a rare gathering of experts in Eastern Sea.
After the second Gu Immortal, Tu Tou Tuo went up.
"I have an ancient desolate beast queen toad. It can command all huge toads at rank six level and below. If raised well, it can nurture enslavement path Immortal Gu as well. Anyone interested?"
The queen toad had a lot of enslavement path dao marks.
But Tu Tou Tuo's transaction failed.
The fourth Gu Immortal: "I am looking for clues to qi sea. Anyone know how to find qi sea and how to get in? I am willing to pay a high price for relevant information."
It was also possible to trade information, but the Gu Immortals present stayed silent.
This transaction also failed.
Qi sea was a special and mysterious sea area in Eastern Sea.
The Gu Immortals present might be unsure of it, or some might know but did not want to trade.
The Gu Immortals went up one by one.
The first round was about to end.
Fang Yuan was the final one.
And Miao Ming Shen was second last.
He went up: "I have a rank seven divination tortoise shell Immortal Gu, anyone wants to trade?"
Fang Yuan heard this and his eyes shined!

Report chapter
The trading convention was underway.
As the host of this trading convention, Miao Ming Shen originally was to be the final person to get on the stage.
But because Fang Yuan joined in, he became the last person.
Miao Ming Shen was now the second last to trade.
In this aspect, Fang Yuan could see Miao Ming Shen's great interpersonal skills.
Gu Immortals who got to trade first had the bigger advantage. Miao Ming Shen, as the final person, was expressing goodwill to everyone.
But he could not place Fang Yuan before him.
This was against the rules.
Newcomers had to be last.
If he went against this, everyone would be unhappy. After all, Miao Ming Shen was the host of this session, but what about the next?
Interpersonal skills were nothing much, it was just one's attitude when interacting with people.
Miao Ming Shen had a good grasp of this, he made the people that he interacted with feel friendly towards him.
However, Fang Yuan's mind was not on Miao Ming Shen, his gaze was shining as he looked at the Immortal Gu that Miao Ming Shen was holding —
Rank seven, divination tortoise shell Gu!
Fang Yuan was greatly enticed.
Why?
Because Fang Yuan had many methods that he could not use. Like ancient sword dragon transformation or reverse flow protection seal, if they were used, Fang Yuan had to make sure there were no survivors. Otherwise, intelligence on him would leak and Gu Immortals would be able to find out more information about him, he would be forced into a corner.
This was quite awkward, actually.
As Fang Yuan got stronger, the problems he created were getting bigger.
Shadow Sect, Heavenly Court, Longevity Heaven… looking at his opponents and enemies, all of them were colossal forces.
Recently, he even made enemies with Old Ancestor Xue Hu, the number one rank eight in Northern Plains!
Thus, Fang Yuan was facing great pressure, he had not reached rank nine.
Only after reaching rank nine would Fang Yuan be able to announce his identity openly, nobody would be able to stop him.
Before reaching rank nine, even if Fang Yuan cultivated to rank eight, Longevity Heaven and Heavenly Court could still find trouble with him.
Currently, rank seven Fang Yuan had to act with a low profile, he had to disguise himself and cultivate rapidly to accumulate strength.
"Becoming Wu Yi Hai has a weakness, or rather, I have a flaw…"
Fang Yuan could not fight when he was Wu Yi Hai.
Because he was not the real Wu Yi Hai!
After soul searching Wu Yi Hai, Fang Yuan found that Wu Yi Hai had three transformation killer moves. One was a coral form, one was a seagull form, and the third was a tortoise.
Earlier, during the battle in the regional wall, Wu Yi Hai had turned into a tortoise to defend himself.
Fang Yuan remembered clearly that it was a horned divine tortoise. An ancient desolate beast with a tough shell, it was top ten in that regard among Eastern Sea's ancient desolate beasts.
Actually, this could be seen from Wu Yi Hai's immortal aperture.
Wu Yi Hai's immortal aperture was a sea. There were three types of lifeforms inside, sea turtles and tortoises with the ancient desolate beast horned divine tortoise, corals with the ancient desolate plant silent coral, and seagulls with the desolate beast white letter blue feather seagull.
As a transformation path Gu Immortal, he would often raise the species that he transformed into.
Firstly, these lifeforms were resources that could help with his transformation path cultivation. Like the horned divine tortoise that Wu Yi Hai cultivated, if he needed any Immortal Gu in the future, he could kill these horned divine tortoises to refine it.
Secondly, transformation path Gu Immortals had to have a clear understanding of these lifeforms that they transformed into to raise their battle strength. Raising them in the immortal aperture would allow them to observe the lifeforms and eventually have realistic transformations with greater battle strength.
As for Fang Yuan, this was just a method.
Fang Yuan's transformation path attainment level was raised from dream realms and tribulations.
Once his attainment level rose, it would influence all these cultivation aspects, including this.
Thus, Fang Yuan saved a lot of trouble, he could skip a long time of observation and practice.
"If I can have this Immortal Gu, it would be very useful to me."
Fang Yuan became more enticed as he thought about it.
The divination tortoise was a wisdom path ancient desolate beast, it had one ability, to defend against deductions. Many Gu Immortals wanted to capture this ancient desolate beast, but using wisdom path methods to deduce its location was too difficult.
If Fang Yuan became a divination tortoise, it would help him greatly when traveling.
This, he concluded that this Immortal Gu was extremely useful.
Or rather — it was too useful!
For others, rank seven divination tortoise shell Immortal Gu might be useless. After all, it could only defend one's back. But if one wanted its deduction prevention ability, it was instead not as effective as other methods.
Thus, it had little use. Furthermore, why would a Gu Immortal face deductions all the time? Was everyone Liu Guan Yi?
Fang Yuan, however, was different.
He was extremely famous in the five regions now, even his fake identity was.
Furthermore, Fang Yuan could transform into a divination tortoise and use the transformation path dao marks, it was an immortal killer move. The ability to defend against deductions would be far stronger than using divination tortoise shell Immortal Gu alone.
Fang Yuan looked around, what made him happy was that these people were not very interested in the Immortal Gu.
Transactions of Immortal Gu were only done through exchange.
This was because Immortal Gu were unique, their value could not be determined easily. The value of Immortal Gu completely depended on the person. The same Immortal Gu could be a burden to someone, after all, the price of feeding Immortal Gu was huge, but to others, they would pursue it relentlessly, they would treat it like a treasure if they got it.
"Immortal Gu."
"To think that he is trading Immortal Gu in the first round."
The Gu Immortals sighed, they spoke softly, but they stayed on their seats, not moving.
Miao Ming Shen smiled.
He had anticipated this.
They were few transformation path Gu Immortals, among those present, Chu Ying was the only one. And even Chu Ying might not be very interested in this Immortal Gu.
Transformation path Gu Immortals usually cultivated two or three transformations, too many was pointless. Unless they had the essence of transformation path — change form Immortal Gu, it could allow them to turn into any form.
But Miao Ming Shen had his intentions in doing this.
He was the host of this trading convention. If news that an Immortal Gu trade had occurred in the first round got out, it would elevate the status of this trading convention, it would attract more Gu Immortals with greater wealth here.
"I am willing to trade for this Immortal Gu." Fang Yuan stood up from his seat.
At once, the Gu Immortals looked towards Fang Yuan with surprised expressions.
Miao Ming Shen was slightly dazed, before reacting and smiling even wider now.
"I wonder what you would like to trade for?" Fang Yuan asked.
Miao Ming Shen chuckled: "Chu Ying, this is your first trading convention, and you are my benefactor. How about this… I do not have much use for this Immortal Gu, we can trade anything."
This time, Fang Yuan was dazed, he did not expect Miao Ming Shen to list such an easy condition.
But even so, Immortal Gu transactions could only be done with Immortal Gu, other things were not usable.
Fang Yuan thought about it: "I have flying bear strength Immortal Gu…"
"Deal." Before Fang Yuan finished his words, Miao Ming Shen agreed without hesitation.
Fang Yuan could not help but look at Miao Ming Shen, realizing why this person was doing so well in Eastern Sea's Gu Immortal world. He was a lone immortal, but he actually had several Gu Immortals that were so loyal to him!
But some things had to be stated clearly.
He smiled bitterly: "Friend, I am in admiration towards your intentions, but I have not finished my words, my flying bear strength Immortal Gu is only rank six."
Miao Ming Shen's expression changed.
The other immortals' expressions also turned grim, they looked at Fang Yuan with dark gazes.
Flying Bear Strength was a strength path Immortal Gu, while divination tortoise shell Immortal Gu was transformation path.
Strength path was declining, but transformation path was still popular and strong. Between the two, flying bear strength Immortal Gu was already less valuable than divination tortoise shell Immortal Gu.
And now, Flying Bear Strength was only rank six.
How could a rank six Immortal Gu and rank seven Immortal Gu be traded?
The value was completely different.

Chapter 1299: Another Trade
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The difficulty of refining one rank six Immortal Gu was very different from refining a rank seven Immortal Gu.
Fang Yuan wanted to use rank six flying bear strength Immortal Gu to exchange for rank seven divination tortoise shell Immortal Gu, if spoken nicely, he was dreaming, but to be blunt, he was simply too greedy, he was trying to take advantage.
This 'taking advantage' also gave a feeling of disdain.
Who did he think Miao Ming Shen was?
Was he easy to bully?
Or did he think the others were fools?
Thus, the Gu Immortals having grim expressions was understandable.
Fang Yuan smiled.
He saw these immortals' attitude and expressions, he knew why these people had a change of emotion.
But he still asked: "Will you exchange it?"
Miao Ming Shen smiled forcefully, but he nodded: "Yes! You have helped me twice, these will suffice."
The other Gu Immortals heard this and looked at Miao Ming Shen in a different light, their disdain towards Fang Yuan increased.
One of them even snorted coldly, expressing his unhappiness towards Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan suddenly laughed.
He said: "Everyone has said how incredible Lord Miao Ming Shen is, I was disbelieving, but after today, I completely agree. How can I take advantage of you? I will compensate you with something else, you will definitely be pleased!"
Saying this, Fang Yuan transmitted to Miao Ming Shen secretly.
Miao Ming Shen heard this and his expression changed, he became excited: "Chu Ying, are you serious?"
"Hahaha, let's do the deal now, you will know if it's true or false." Fang Yuan laughed again.
"Sorry, we need to do this transaction alone." Miao Ming Shen said as Fang Yuan followed him to leave the cave.
They went outside for the transaction, afterwards, the two returned with smiles on their faces.
Fang Yuan was relaxed, while Miao Ming Shen was smiling in a pleased manner.
The two were walking together closely, everyone could tell that their relationship had gotten closer.
After sitting down, Miao Ming Shen cupped his fists at Fang Yuan: "I owe you a third favor."
"Your demeanor is truly magnificent. This is merely a transaction, there is no favor." Fang Yuan was very polite.
These words made the Gu Immortals very perplexed.
At once, they started guessing: What did Chu Ying trade to make up for the difference, and make Miao Ming Shen so happy?
Miao Ming Shen sat down but Fang Yuan did not.
After this transaction, it was Fang Yuan's turn, he went on the platform.
The immortals looking at him had different gazes now, they were solemn and curious, with probing intentions.
At the same time, they were curious about what Fang Yuan was going to offer.
This was because they did not know Fang Yuan, he was a stranger.
According to Fang Yuan's offer, they would be able to guess some information about him. Like what immortal materials he had in abundance, they were often produced in their own blessed lands. This way, some intelligence could be deduced, like how developed Fang Yuan's immortal aperture was, and what types of dao marks he had inside.
If it were one or two damaged ancient desolate beast corpses, they were often the Gu Immortal's spoils of battle. If an ancient desolate beast reared in the immortal aperture died, the corpse would not be damaged. Such corpses would allow the immortals to assess Fang Yuan's battle strength as well.
Gu Immortals focused heavily on gathering intelligence.
On this aspect, information path Gu Immortals had the greatest advantage.
But what Fang Yuan took out shocked them.
"Everyone, take a look, this is a bone path rank six Immortal Gu, Bone Spike. I obtained it by chance, but I am not a bone path Gu Immortal, I want to trade with it, does anyone want this? As for what I want in return, I am like Lord Miao Ming Shen, I have no specific preference." Fang Yuan smiled.
"An Immortal Gu again."
"This is the first round, there are actually two Immortal Gu transactions."
"This Chu Ying is quite rich, he is a transformation path Gu Immortal but he had two Immortal Gu of other paths."
"The first transaction is done, but this one might not succeed. There are no bone path Gu Immortals here."
The Gu Immortals talked to each other secretly, they were close with one another.
"None?" Fang Yuan waited for a while, but no Gu Immortal spoke.
He felt no disappointment.
The rank seven Immortal Gu, Divination Tortoise Shell, was worth coming to this trading convention.
Just when Fang Yuan was about to step down, a voice said: "Wait, I think… we can trade with this Immortal Gu."
The immortals turned to look, it was Wu Ma Yang.
"Strange, he is a dark path Gu Immortal, why does he want a bone path Immortal Gu?" This question appeared in everyone's minds.
Bone spike Immortal Gu had no relation with dark path.
But if Wu Ma Yang had any immortal killer moves that needed bone spike Immortal Gu, then it was possible for him to want this Immortal Gu.
Everyone had their own secrets, even though the Gu Immortals were puzzled, they held in their questions and watched quietly.
"There is a Gu Immortal who wants bone spike Immortal Gu?" Fang Yuan was also curious.
He asked: "I wonder what you would like to trade with?"
Wu Ma Yang frowned, he hesitated a little before gritting his teeth: "I will trade this Immortal Gu."
He displayed this Immortal Gu.
It was a rank six Immortal Gu, on the same rank as bone spike Immortal Gu.
The Gu Immortals looked as someone cried out: "This is day Immortal Gu."
That's right, this was the rank six time path — day Gu!
Fang Yuan was stunned.
"I did not expect this, this trading convention was really worth it!" Fang Yuan rejoiced internally, but his expression was blank, he seemed to be in deep thought.
There was no need to think!
The moment Fang Yuan saw this Immortal Gu, he wanted it.
The reason?
Because he had Hei Fan's true inheritance, he had rank seven year Gu, after Immortal Gu, and Years Flow Like Water, as well as a bunch of time path immortal killer moves.
He remembered that in the true inheritance, Hei Fan had been talking about immortal level day Gu and month Gu non-stop.
He remembered those four immortal killer moves, days pass like years and the rest.
"If the inheritor can obtain immortal level day Gu or month Gu, these four immortal killer moves would not need to expend so many mortal day Gu and month Gu, the effect would even rise greatly."
These were the words recorded in Hei Fan's true inheritance.
Fang Yuan saw this and did not think much of them.
He was not overly ambitious, year Gu was enough to satisfy him.
But destiny was very mystical, when Fang Yuan had placed no attention on immortal level day Gu and month Gu, day Gu appeared right in front of him like this.
"Let's exchange it."
"Even though I am not familiar with time path, feeding bone spike Immortal Gu is certainly a burden."
Fang Yuan said.
"My day Gu consumes the water of the River of Time, it has no feeding problems. However, I cannot use this Immortal Gu, I might as well trade it for bone spike Immortal Gu, to add into my immortal killer moves." Wu Ma Yang said.
The two traded quickly.
The original wills inside the two Immortal Gu left as the other party's immortal essence entered.
The Gu Immortal's will inside the immortal essence was the true key to refining Gu.
In Earth's terms, wills were like a preset program to Gu worms.
Wills could think. Wild Gu worms had their own wills. Refining wild Immortal Gu was simply using the Gu Immortal's will together with immortal essence to erase the wild will.
Wild wills had the instinct to survive, they could not destroy themselves, thus, even though it was tough for Gu Immortals to refine Immortal Gu, it was not risky.
Other people's Immortal Gu were different.
A Gu Immortal's will was vastly different from wild will.
Trying with brute force to refine someone else's Immortal Gu would only destroy it. For example, Fang Yuan could recall his Immortal Gu with just a special will set inside them. Basically all Gu Immortals would not allow another person to refine their Immortal Gu directly.
Once that was happening, the will inside the Immortal Gu would destroy the Gu worm.
Unless wisdom path methods were used to suppress the Immortal Gu's will. But usually, it would be hard to suppress all of it in an instant. With a small flaw, the Immortal Gu would be destroyed.
Precisely because of this, even though Fang Yuan captured Hei Cheng, he did not obtain dark arrow Immortal Gu.
And because of this, even though Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan's alliance agreement was gone, he could not directly refine attitude Gu, it was a problem.

Chapter 1300: Refining Attitude Gu
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"This particular trading convention is very different."
"That's right, it is truly not normal. In our usual trading conventions, even though there are Immortal Gu trades, they will not appear in the first round."
It was traditionally hard to trade Immortal Gu, most of the members in the trading convention had limited chances. Thus, they would usually put up the items which were unlikely to be traded to the end.
Thus, even if they wanted to trade away their Immortal Gu, the Gu Immortals would choose to do it in the last few rounds.
This was normal in trading conventions.
But this time, it was different.
Not only was there an Immortal Gu trade in the first round, it happened twice. And more importantly, both times succeeded!
And in these two transactions, Fang Yuan played a pivotal role.
Even though this was the first time he came to a trading convention, the Gu Immortals present did not dare to underestimate this newcomer, Chu Ying, anymore.
"We will start the second round now, Fairy Tong Hua, please." Miao Ming Shen said.
He was very happy.
The trading convention had just started and Immortal Gu were already traded, this result would help him a lot when he traveled over Eastern Sea's Gu Immortal world.
Tong Hua went onto the platform, she wanted to trade another type of desolate beast.
"It seems that she is trying to develop her blessed land." Fang Yuan, who was sitting beside Miao Ming Shen, spoke to him.
Miao Ming Shen smiled: "Brother Chu, you might not know, but Fairy Tong Hua had just passed a tribulation recently."
"So that's it." Fang Yuan understood.
After a Gu Immortal passed a tribulation, their immortal aperture's resources would be greatly damaged, but they would gain a lot of dao marks too. These new dao marks would modify the immortal aperture's environment, causing it to be more accommodating to different types of resources.
Thus, Fairy Tong Hua tried to trade for all sorts of resources in this convention, planning to develop them in her immortal aperture.
"This Immortal Tong Hua is very affluent. Not only is her immortal aperture managed well, she also has a personal sea area, called rainbow aurora sea. Whenever it is dawn or dusk, aurora light shines above the sea area, weaving with the sky, it is extremely beautiful. This sea area is not far away. After the trading convention ends, Fairy Tong Hua will invite everyone to her sea area for a gathering. By then, Brother Chu can go with us." Miao Ming Shen said, giving Fang Yuan some information about Tong Hua.
Fang Yuan gained more understanding of her.
"Then I will thank you for a recommendation. To speak the truth, I am interested in her light shine fungus." Fang Yuan said directly.
"No problem, I can help you with that." Miao Ming Shen was someone who knew the best way to interact with someone, he gladly took on this task.
After the trading of Immortal Gu, his relationship with Fang Yuan improved greatly.
Fang Yuan knew why Miao Ming Shen's attitude had changed.
The reason was none other than — lifespan Gu!
What could interest Miao Ming Shen was undoubtedly lifespan Gu. Fang Yuan used a rank six Immortal Gu to trade for a rank seven Immortal Gu, and he even used a declining strength path Gu.
But Miao Ming Shen was very satisfied with the transaction. This was because Fang Yuan used a hundred years of lifespan Gu to make up for the difference.
Lifespan Gu was only a mortal Gu, but it was really rare.
Many Gu Immortals would keep them in their hands and refuse to trade them. They would keep these lifespan Gu for the time when they really needed it.
Miao Ming Shen's lifespan was not near its end, but he did not have a lot left.
Thus, he was looking for the tributary of the River of Time, he wanted to find some methods to extend lifespan.
In the five hundred years of Fang Yuan's previous life, Miao Ming Shen had entered the blue dragon whale many times to look for the lifespan Gu inside.
Fang Yuan offered him lifespan Gu, why would Miao Ming Shen not be happy with it?
Furthermore, Fang Yuan took out a hunded years of lifespan Gu, what did that mean?
Miao Ming Shen was not dumb, he thought: This meant that Chu Ying had more lifespan Gu. Otherwise, why would he use them so 'unsparingly'?
Thus, Miao Ming Shen wanted to improve his relationship with Fang Yuan.
But he did not know that this was Fang Yuan's intention.
Fang Yuan's motives were deeper.
The blue dragon whale!
According to his previous life's information, Fang Yuan had a greater understanding of this opportunity than Miao Ming Shen currently.
The transactions continued.
During the second round, Gu Immortals went up one by one, and most of their transactions succeeded.
Soon, it was Fang Yuan's turn.
Immortal Gu Woman's Heart.
Fang Yuan was about to trade this rank six Immortal Gu away when his expression suddenly changed.
"Sorry, something happened, everyone, I need to leave early." Fang Yuan said.
The Gu Immortals were shocked.
This trading convention was a rare chance, to think that Fang Yuan was giving up now.
But the trading convention was not a restricted event, it was fine if Fang Yuan wanted to leave, they could not stop him.
"What happened? Do you need my help?" Miao Ming Shen sent Fang Yuan off.
"It is not a big matter, but it is urgent. This is such a waste, I am missing out on the trading convention!" Fang Yuan sighed.
Miao Ming Shen quickly said: "Don't worry, when such a trading convention happens again, I will inform you."
"I will thank you in advance, goodbye."
"See you again."
Fang Yuan flew off into the clouds, vanishing from sight.
Miao Ming Shen sighed, looking at Fang Yuan vanish, he turned around and went back into the cave.
While flying in the clouds, Fang Yuan's expression was ugly.
He had left earlier because a wisdom path great expert had suddenly tried to deduce his whereabouts.
The power from Dark Limit was almost used up, with this huge expenditure now, Fang Yuan was forced to leave the trading convention prematurely.
"Damn it, which Gu Immortal is deducing me? I wonder if they are deducing Fang Yuan or Liu Guan Yi?"
Fang Yuan felt some regret.
If he had some more time, he might have traded woman's heart Immortal Gu away.
Such opportunities were incredibly rare.
After one convention, many Gu Immortals would lay low for many years before wanting to trade again.
After he got to a safe distance, Fang Yuan used the new divination tortoise shell Immortal Gu, as well as change form Immortal Gu.
Immortal killer move — Divination Tortoise Transformation!
Transformation path killer moves were so simple and straightforward.
Because he lacked the help of mortal Gu, this killer move's effect was not outstanding. But because of change form Immortal Gu, this panacea, although the transformation had none of the battle strength from the divination tortoise, Fang Yuan could use it.
This divination tortoise transformation was to give Fang Yuan more time.
A while later, he found a safe environment and placed his immortal aperture.
For several days, he stayed inside the immortal aperture.
He started to think about how he could refine attitude Gu.
Even though he had two new Immortal Gu, they were not useful for refining attitude Gu.
Fang Yuan was helpless about this.
Maybe the third Gu for Woman's Heart could have been a suitable Immortal Gu.
But Fang Yuan missed this opportunity.
He needed to stay inside the immortal aperture for some time so that Dark Limit could be used again.
By then, the trading convention would be over.
"This means I can only borrow Immortal Gu from Lang Ya blessed land." Fang Yuan had a backup plan.
But this was a secondary method.
The best situation was for Fang Yuan to settle it himself.
Borrowing Immortal Gu was not a feasible plan.
If Fang Yuan used his own Immortal Gu to deduce an immortal killer move to refine attitude Gu, it would help him greatly, he could even fuse this immortal killer move into reverse flow protection seal.
Think about it, by then, Reverse Flow River would flow around Fang Yuan's body, and any Immortal Gu that flew inside would be refined by Fang Yuan. How tempting was that?
Fang Yuan had a long term goal regarding this.
But it was a pity, even though he joined the trading convention, he did not gain any progress in this aspect.
But thankfully, Lang Ya blessed land had no lack of refinement path Immortal Gu.
Through treasure yellow heaven, and after expending Lang Ya Sect contribution points, Fang Yuan borrowed some Immortal Gu.
A commotion occurred in treasure yellow heaven again, but Fang Yuan had no choice but to do this.
Using these refinement path Immortal Gu, Fang Yuan came up with an immortal killer move using Reverse Flow River to refine attitude Gu.
Fang Yuan purposely slowed his movement, half a month later, he successfully refined attitude Gu.
And now, he finally owned this legendary rank eight Immortal Gu..

Chapter 1301: Approach of the Great Era
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Central Continent, Hidden Dragon Cave.
"Greetings to superior immortal from Heavenly Court." Two Gu Immortals knelt on the ground.
One old and one young.
A grandfather and a grandson.
They were Gu Immortals from Wind Cloud Manor.
The young Gu Immortal was Feng Chan Zi, while the elderly man was Old Man Bei Feng, with rank eight cultivation level. Among the ten great ancient sects of Central Continent, he was famous, and without any mishaps, he would have become a member of Heavenly Court already.
It was not easy or normal to become a member of Heavenly Court.
Rank eight cultivation level was not enough, they had to be elites among rank eights. This standard had never been lowered since Heavenly Court was created. Heavenly Court did not waver in this aspect, too few was better than too many!
And this Old Man Bei Feng was now kneeling on the ground, expressing his reverence.
The person he was kneeling to was an extremely weak old man, he was shaking as if a gust of wind could blow him away.
But this old man was not ordinary, he had a huge origin, he left a deep mark in Heavenly Court's history.
He was — Duke Long!
"Get up, bring me inside." Duke Long said plainly.
"Yes." Old Man Bei Feng acknowledged.
A moment later, Duke Long came to the deepest part of Hidden Dragon Cave.
This was a deep earth trench, it was larger than the Earth Trench that Northern Plains' Zombie Alliance had.
It was possible to stuff thousands of cities into it easily.
Duke Long and Old Man Bei Feng were tiny like dust specks compared to it.
From their view, the entire Earth Trench was covered in darkness, this darkness was so deep that one could not see through it.
Rumble…!!
Suddenly, the entire Earth Trench started shaking intensely.
The two sides of the Earth Trench started to have falling rocks.
The earthquake caused incredible sound waves that would make people shell-shocked.
Old Man Bei Feng's expression changed, he quickly used the Immortal Gu in his immortal aperture. Suddenly, bright lights shone as countless auroras and flowing water weaved together dazzlingly.
There was actually a huge super Gu formation here!
In contrast to this Gu formation, the one that surrounded Southern Border's dream realm was just a kitten compared to an elephant.
Old Man Bei Feng controlled the Gu formation, his expression quickly changed as his forehead was covered in sweat.
"The commotion is so huge!" As a great rank eight Gu Immortal, he was actually feeling difficulty now.
This super Gu formation was suppressing a terrifying lifeform, Old Man Bei Feng could only barely deal with it using the super Gu formation.
"Hehehe, it seems that after so many years, you are still so lively. Di Zang Sheng." At this time, Duke Long spoke plainly.
"Roar!!!" At the next moment, an overwhelming dragon roar filled the entire Earth Trench.
The super Gu formation's aurora lights were dispersing, flowing water was disrupted.
Old Man Bei Feng's forehead was dripping with sweat, he thought: "This is after the super Gu formation's isolation, the volume is still so loud. If I have to face this Evil Dragon directly, I am afraid…"
Duke Long was unmoved, he assessed: "It seems your temper has not changed, you are still so feisty."
"Accursed old man!!" This time, a voice came from inside the Gu formation.
The voice was just as loud.
At the next moment, a huge dragon head appeared from within the aurora light and flowing water.
It was Evil Dragon — Di Zang Sheng!
This immemorial desolate beast had a huge origin, it was a legendary immemorial desolate beast created from endless hatred, anger, and grudges, all these negatives emotions in Central Continent's earth veins.
It was born of nature, because it was created from the collective negative emotions of humans, after it was born, it had intelligence that matched humans.
Initially, it could only roar and growl, but after learning, it could use hope Gu to awaken its aperture, it learned human language, and for some time, it turned into a human and tried to master Gu Immortal methods.
For some time, it wreaked havoc in Central Continent, it caused great distress and chaos in the world.
But eventually, it was suppressed by Duke Long.
It was suppressed for countless years.
But Heavenly Court could not kill it.
Because it was formed from the negative emotions of humans. As long as humanity still flourished, the Evil Dragon would continue to grow stronger every day. Even if its body was destroyed or completely decimated.
Soon, it would form from new earth veins, and continue to cause chaos in the world.
That was why Heavenly Court used a super Gu formation to suppress this Evil Dragon.
The people guarding the place were rotated from time to time. This time, Feng Chan Zi sold immortal materials for his own profits, he was punished to guard Hidden Dragon Cave. And his grandpa knew that he could not do this alone, so he gave up the chance to join Heavenly Court and came to look after this Evil Dragon.
After the Evil Dragon saw Duke Long, it became incredibly furious.
The meeting of enemies with filled with animosity.
"Why are you roaring and growling, you cannot escape from this prison." Duke Long said plainly.
Di Zang Sheng heard this and no longer raged, it laughed: "Hahaha, I almost forgot. Accursed old man, you are going to die soon. Your lifespan is reaching its limit, you only have one last chance of extending your life. Even lifespan Gu cannot save you. Haha, this is hilarious, so what if you suppressed me? I am alive, while you are dying."
Duke Long nodded: "You are right. Sometimes, I envy you, you have a long lifespan from birth, you innately have longevity. This might be the last time we meet, let me borrow ten years of life from you."
Saying this, Duke Long sucked in a breath.
Old Man Bei Feng was shocked to find out that as the guardian, he instantly lost control of this Gu formation.
Di Zang Sheng was suppressed by Duke Long, this super Gu formation was created by Duke Long personally.
Duke Long was the true owner of this super Gu formation!
"Roar!" Di Zang Sheng let out a painful cry.
Duke Long was still sucking.
Old Man Bei Feng could not tell what Duke Long was actually sucking.
It seemed to be a sort of life essence that could not be seen with the naked eye, it was forcefully extracted from Di Zang Sheng's body, sucked into Duke Long's own body.
"It seems that this super Gu formation is not purely for suppressing Di Zang Sheng, it has this kind of effect." Old Man Bei Feng had an epiphany.
During the process of sucking, Duke Long's body inflated like a balloon from its twig-like appearance. His pale yellow ragged face faded to a normal color. His pale white hair also turned dark.
He was hunchbacked earlier and had fragile bones that emitted cracking sounds, but it had straightened now.
Most evidently, the pair of horns on his head were originally shriveled like two lumps of meat, but now, they shined with a metallic luster, piercing towards the sky.
Bam.
His peak rank eight aura burst out like an invisible wall, pushing outwards.
Old Man Bei Feng took a step back uncontrollably, looking at Duke Long's majestic background, he had a sense of admiration in his heart.
In contrast to Duke Long was Evil Dragon Di Zang Sheng.
It said in a hoarse voice: "Damned old man, that is merely ten years of lifespan. It's like I'm giving a pool of piss to you. Hahaha…"
It was still laughing, but it was very weak now.
Duke Long clenched his fists, saying nonchalantly: "Evil Dragon, you do not understand, how can I, Duke Long, fear death? I woke up this time to make up for my previous mistake. Ten years is more than enough."
"Enough for? What are you trying to do?" Evil Dragon asked.
"What else? The great era is coming." Duke Long said with deep meaning.
"Great era? Great era! Don't tell me, the earth veins will merge, the regional walls will vanish, and the five regions will become one… wait, accursed old man, don't go, tell me everything!" Di Zang Sheng shouted.
But Duke Long sneered, why would he care about a captive? He turned around and left Hidden Dragon Cave without any hesitation.
Southern Border.
A nameless place.
River water was surging.
This was a tributary of the River of Time!
Ying Wu Xie and the rest had been waiting by the riverside for a long time.
A figure emerged from the tributary of the River of Time.
"Quick! Let's quickly give lord a helping hand!" Ying Wu Xie saw this and shouted.
Hei Lou Lan and Bai Ning Bing worked together beside him, activating the Gu formation.
Under the effect of the Gu formation, Purple Mountain True Monarch escaped from the tributary of the River of Time, he was like a drowning person, he barely managed to crawl ashore, he breathed roughly and was soaked to the bones.
"Purple Mountain True Monarch actually managed to return safely after entering the River of Time!" Bai Ning Bing was expressionless, but she was shocked on the inside.
"Lord, did you succeed?" Seeing Purple Mountain True Monarch regain his composure, Ying Wu Xie asked this.
Purple Mountain True Monarch nodded: "I went into the red lotus and interacted with that will, my gains were phenomenal!"
"Is that so?" Ying Wu Xie was overjoyed.
But Purple Mountain True Monarch had a solemn expression: "I used Red Lotus' true inheritance to observe the past and future. Before Fang Yuan was reborn, our Shadow Sect had succeeded, we delayed the great era by five hundred years, we exterminated the future Great Dream Immortal Venerable before she matured, we even had Heavenly Court completely under our control! It is a pity that Fang Yuan changed everything. Shadow Sect cannot stop it anymore, the great era is coming!"
Ying Wu Xie had an extremely shocked expression.
Bai Ning Bing and Hei Lou Lan looked at each other, feeling puzzled.
The former asked coldly: "What is the great era?"
Ying Wu Xie breathed in deeply and answered: "The earth veins will merge, the regional walls will vanish, the five regions will become one, and Great Dream becomes venerable. This is the great era!"
Hei Lou Lan and Bai Ning Bing were stunned.
At the same time.
Fang Yuan went back to Southern Border using Wu Yi Hai's appearance, he was back in Wu clan.
"I am finally back."
"This time, I must absorb the dream realm and go all-out in raising my attainment levels."
"There is enough time."
"After five hundred years, during the five regions chaotic war, I might become a great grandmaster of every path already. I am looking forward to it."

Chapter 1302: Divination Tortoise Transformation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Southern Border, Wu clan.
Fang Yuan entered Southern Border, using 'Wu Yi Hai"s appearance, he went all the way back to Wu clan's headquarters.
Knowing that he was back, Wu clan's current first supreme elder, Wu Yong, summoned him.
"Brother, these are the Immortal Gu that I borrowed from the clan, I am returning them now." Fang Yuan returned the Immortal Gu in his hands.
Wu Yong received them and smiled as he sat in the main seat: "Was your journey to Eastern Sea fruitful?"
Every Gu Immortal had their own secrets, especially someone with a special status like Wu Yi Hai, Wu Yong could not probe excessively. His question was really just small talk.
"I had great gains." Fang Yuan showed some joy on his face, it was very realistic.
"That is good." Wu Yong nodded.
He would not be able to imagine how great Fang Yuan's gains were.
After leaving Southern Border, Fang Yuan chased after Shadow Sect's remnant forces, even though he did not succeed in killing them, his gains were huge.
Not only did Fang Yuan obtain perseverance Immortal Gu and become the Reverse Flow River Lord, his battle strength surged and he could go unscathed against rank eight Gu Immortals. Liu Guan Yi's reputation was renowned in the entire world!
Furthermore, while returning, he participated in an Eastern Sea trading convention. He obtained divination tortoise shell Immortal Gu and rank six day Gu.
"Thank you for the concern, brother. I wonder when can I return to the Gu formation to cultivate? Please arrange it for me." Fang Yuan said with a polite and humble tone.
Wu Yong was very satisfied with Fang Yuan's performance.
These last days, he had control of Wu clan, because Fang Yuan backed down, there were few obstacles in Wu clan, he successfully took over the clan and obtained the highest authority.
Right now, Wu Yong was already different from when he first took over. He was more composed and grand, he gave off an indomitable aura, he had great authority.
He was very happy about Fang Yuan's attitude.
Clans were different from sects, bloodline was very important.
Wu Yi Hai's status in Wu clan made him very special among Wu clan's Gu Immortals. In terms of bloodline, he was solely inferior to Wu Yong, and was above everyone else.
Wu Yi Hai wanted to cultivate in seclusion, Wu Yong was sure to satisfy it.
Thus, he agreed: "Return to your residence and rest first. I will arrange this, in a few days, it will be ready."
"Thank you, brother, I will take my leave." Fang Yuan left after seeing that his objective was achieved.
He had a home in Wu clan.
When he first joined Wu clan, he was assigned by Wu clan to live on this Bear Mountain.
"Wu Yong is starting to be in control of Wu clan."
"Wu Yi Hai's identity is very sensitive, if he worked with an ambitious clan like Qiao clan, to create lots of problems, Wu Yong would have a huge headache."
"Thus, to play safe, Wu Yong would not let Wu Yi Hai roam around and make contributions for the clan, and increase his reputation."
Other Wu clan Gu Immortals were fine, but Wu Yi Hai was not.
Or rather, not for now.
Wu Du Xiu had just died, Wu Yong was in control of Wu clan but it was not a stable position.
Fang Yuan was very aware of Wu clan's situation.
He was not worried that he would be unable to return to the super Gu formation.
While staying on the mountain, he cultivated.
But his immortal aperture could not be placed down.
Not to mention opening the immortal aperture's entrance and taking in heaven and earth qi.
"My sovereign immortal aperture's foundation is too deep, each time it absorbs heaven and earth qi, the commotion is huge, winds would surge and clouds would move."
"But Reverse Flow River really consumes a lot of heaven and earth qi. It seems that I will need to go to Yi Tian Mountain later to take in heaven and earth qi, only by replenishing it will I sustain the sovereign immortal aperture and prevent my foundation from falling."
This was a form of burden.
But it was a good one.
Even though Wu Yong asked him to rest, Fang Yuan did not rest.
He continued to cultivate, he was fighting against time.
During this period, many Gu Immortals from the clan came to visit Wu Yi Hai, who had a special status, but Fang Yuan rejected them all.
This attitude made Wu Yong very pleased. He felt that Wu Yi Hai was not trying to interfere in the clan affairs. Thus, he gave Fang Yuan a lot of immortal materials under his own name. Not only was he trying to reward and appeal to him, he was also trying to gain reputation for 'being a caring brother'.
At the peak of the mountain, Fang Yuan, who was inside his huge house, had turned into a tortoise.
This tortoise was as large as a house, it was black and had a thick and tough shell, there were countless markings on its shell, it was difficult to observe but it had a certain order.
It was a divination tortoise.
This ancient desolate beast was associated with wisdom path, after transforming, Fang Yuan's transformation path dao marks turned into wisdom path.
With his wisdom path dao mark accumulation, there was a huge quantitative change.
With this foundation, Fang Yuan could use wisdom path deduction methods with greater efficiency. It was at least several times or even more than ten times that of before!
Simply divination tortoise shell Immortal Gu, in terms of the Gu worm itself, it could not compare to attitude Gu or wisdom sword Immortal Gu, even Flying Sword, Sword Escape, and Dragon Breath were better than it.
But regarding Fang Yuan, it was extremely useful!
Suddenly, a brilliant light shined in the divination tortoise's eyes.
"After ten or so days of hard work, I finally succeeded in deducing the killer move, divination tortoise transformation."
At Fang Yuan's will, he turned back to human.
Next, he tried to use the newly completed divination tortoise transformation killer move.
Once, twice, thrice…
After more than ten times, he finally finished making his adjustments.
A new divination tortoise transformation!
He added in a lot of transformation path mortal Gu, like tortoise head Gu, tortoise tail Gu, tortoise leg Gu, and others. There were also some wisdom path Gu worms, to increase the divination tortoise's ability to block deductions, until Fang Yuan reached his limits. There were also many defensive Gu worms.
Of course, there were only two cores.
One was rank seven divination tortoise shell Immortal Gu, the other was change form Immortal Gu.
The brand new divination tortoise was larger than before, it was lifelike like an actual ancient desolate beast divination tortoise.
Especially the tortoise shell, countless dao marks were weaved together in a criss-crossing fashion, there were an enormous number of them.
"Very good, I have reached my current limit." Fang Yuan experimented and felt very pleased.
This was all thanks to his wisdom path and transformation path grandmaster attainment levels.
Deducing these killer moves was as simple as drinking water.
Similar to the ancient sword dragon transformation, which combined transformation path and sword path. This divination tortoise transformation was the combination of transformation path and wisdom path.
And now, Fang Yuan had a new fighting method. It was not an incomplete version like before, this could be fully used in battle.
And most crucially, the killer moves ancient sword dragon transformation, reverse flow protection seal, and myriad self could not be used in battle, but this divination tortoise transformation covered the flaw, it solved Fang Yuan's current problem.
Fang Yuan stopped the transformation and rested to regain his mental energy.
He closed his eyes and his mind entered sovereign immortal aperture.
Landscape as Before!
The rank six Immortal Gu was used, targeting Reverse Flow River in the immortal aperture.
Red date immortal essence was expended rapidly, while Reverse Flow River started to produce river water under the power of Landscape as Before.
"The efficiency is too low." Fang Yuan sighed.
This was not his first experiment, he was quite disappointed.
Landscape as before Immortal Gu, even though it was effective on Reverse Flow River, the effect was mild.
This formed a clear contrast to Luo Po Valley and Dang Hun Mountain.
"Why is it that using Landscape as Before on Dang Hun Mountain and Luo Po Valley had such incredible effects, but on Reverse Flow River, it barely works?"
Fang Yuan was puzzled.
Was Reverse Flow River more special than the other two secluded domains of heaven and earth?
What other reasons were there?
If he could repair Reverse Flow River immediately, that would be great. He would have an unceasing supply of Reverse Flow River's water.
But reality was less than perfect for Fang Yuan.
"Wait! Dang Hun Mountain and Luo Po Valley were once in the possession of Spectral Soul Demon Venerable. And Spectral Soul Demon Venerable was the creator of sovereign immortal fetus Gu. Maybe… these two secluded domains of heaven and earth were modified by Shadow Sect, just like how Hei Lou Lan and the others could use Immortal Gu of other paths without being restricted by dao marks."
Fang Yuan had a flash of inspiration.
His guess was right.
Not only did Shadow Sect have a method to allow Gu Immortals to cultivate other paths without facing conflicting dao marks, they could also modify secluded domains of heaven and earth, to allow Immortal Gu of certain paths to be very effective on the secluded domains of heaven and earth and not face conflicts from dao marks.
And time path Immortal Gu were fully effective on Dang Hun Mountain and Luo Po Valley, they would not be resisted by the vast number of soul path dao marks in them.
This was because Landscape as Before and Man as Before belonged to Shadow Sect. They were passed to Tai Bai Yun Sheng through Purple Mountain True Monarch.
As for Reverse Flow River, Shadow Sect did not have it, they had no interest in this river either.
Thus, Reverse Flow River was not modified, when Fang Yuan used Landscape as Before on Reverse Flow River, it was weakened by its vast number of dao marks, and had little effect. And this was already because Fang Yuan was the Reverse Flow River Lord, otherwise, Landscape as Before's effect would be reflected upon him.
"Reverse Flow River lost a lot of water, the rank eight existences depleted a good amount. But thankfully, it is recovering, even though the speed is very slow."
"Can I use reverse flow protection seal to resist immemorial year beasts?"
Fang Yuan shook his head.
Using Reverse Flow River, he could at most defend himself. If an immemorial year beast tried to destroy the immortal aperture, he could do nothing against it.
He thought about this because Fang Yuan was concerned about the sealed rank eight Immortal Gu, Years Flow Like Water.
Even though his battle strength surged greatly, Fang Yuan was still unable to unseal Years Flow Like Water currently.
Like this, Fang Yuan cultivated silently, waiting for Wu Yong's arrangement for returning to the giant dream realm.
But a few days later, a minor mishap occurred.

Chapter 1303: Divination Tortoise's Power
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Southern Border, Wu clan.
In the hall, Fang Yuan, Wu Yong, and another Gu Immortal were present.
He had a tall body, he wore a black and white coat, he had a long beard that extended downwards to his chest. His eyes were slim and long, a mysterious light was hidden in them, his body was covered in mist.
Wu clan Gu Immortal, Wu Yu Bo, a prideful person with peak rank seven battle strength, it was only slightly lower than Old Treeman Ba De.
"Gu Immortal Yan Huang challenged Yu Bo, the reality is that Xia clan is after Moon Bowl. This place produces moon path Gu worms, it is one of the most important resource points of our clan, we cannot lose." Wu Yong said.
"Since I am going, there is no need to worry. If I can defeat Yan Huang twice, I can win a third time." Wu Yu Bo said coldly.
Moon Bowl was not a bowl, it was a valley.
But this valley had a peculiar shape, resembling a bowl, and because it produced moon path Gu worms, people called it Moon Bowl.
Moon Bowl had a village in it.
But when Wu clan expanded, in order to take over Moon Bowl, they eradicated this village. There was a Gu Immortal in this village, he was known as Immortal Yan Huang.
Wu clan sent out Wu Yu Bo and defeated him. Immortal Yan Huang could not defeat them and had to escape in tears, abandoning his home.
Wu clan was a righteous path clan, they needed a proper reason to take over Moon Bowl, they could not kill Immortal Yan Huang directly.
This was the rules of the righteous path.
Immortal Yan Huang left with hatred, to take revenge, he hid his identity and practised his killer moves, but he still lost to Wu Yu Bo a second time.
After Wu clan learned of his whereabouts, they knew that this enmity was unresolvable, they gathered Gu Immortals to assassinate Immortal Yan Huang.
But at the crucial moment, Immortal Yan Huang was saved by an unknown force.
Wu clan wanted to pursue it, but at that time, Wu Du Xiu died, Wu clan was in chaos and Wu Yong had just taken over, he needed to suppress the situation. This gave Immortal Yan Huang some time to recover.
Until now, a few days ago, Immortal Yan Huang sent a challenge to Wu Yu Bo with Moon Bowl as the stake. Whoever wins would obtain Moon Bowl.
Wu clan was the number one super force in Southern Border, how could they not accept it?
But Wu Yong's worry was that Immortal Yan Huang was here after joining Xia clan, a super force, he was no longer all alone.
This meant that the mysterious force which helped Immortal Yan Huang earlier was undoubtedly Xia clan.
On the surface, this was Immortal Yan Huang challenging Wu Yu Bo. But the truth was, this matter was significant, it was the contest of two super forces.
This challenge had been spread widely, the attention of many Southern Border forces and Gu Immortal experts were drawn to it.
After Wu Du Xiu died, even though Wu clan was still the number one force, its reputation had fallen. Xia clan was the first challenger of Wu clan's dominance. If Wu clan lost this, the other clans would smell weakness and everyone would be tempted to target Wu clan, there would be huge problems.
This was Wu Yong's worry.
Immortal Yan Huang's open challenge was now the first hurdle of Wu Yong's rule.
"Yu Bo, don't be careless, you know how important this is for our clan." Wu Yong sighed: "That Yan Huang joined Xia clan, he is given aid by them, they must have ill intentions and be amply prepared this time if they are challenging you."
"First supreme elder, you only need to wait for good news." Wu Yu Bo had a nonchalant expression, he glanced at Fang Yuan and said: "In my opinion, we don't need to bring so many people. This Yan Huang is just a loser, I can easily capture him."
"We should play safe, my brother is skilled in three transformations, he is a rank seven expert, with him guarding you, I can rest assured." Wu Yong said.
Wu clan had a huge territory, even though there were many Wu clan Gu Immortals, they were split up in many places, they lacked manpower.
Originally, Wu Yong was planning to send Fang Yuan to the super Gu formation.
But now that this happened, Wu Yong had to send Fang Yuan to guard Wu Yu Bo. After all, Immortal Yan Huang was not alone, he was accompanied by Xia clan Gu Immortal Xia Qing Cang.
Fang Yuan had joined Wu clan, although he could reject this, there was no harm in going, Fang Yuan agreed.
This was a good task, he only needed to stay on guard, after it was over, the clan would reward him for the help.
Wu Yu Bo did not care, but Wu Yong insisted on it, he could not reject it.
This matter was decided, a few days later, Wu Yu Bo went to the designated location with Fang Yuan.
Over there, Xia Qing Cang and Immortal Yan Huang were waiting already.
Immortal Yan Huang looked like a middle aged Gu Immortal, he had a mature expression and ordinary appearance, after seeing Wu Yu Bo, his expression changed, he stared with wide opened eyes, like they were spewing fire.
But that Xia Qing Cang had a special disposition, his body stood tall and straight like a mountain peak. He had a square face and white hair. Especially his beard, it was tough like needles, his eyes were shining brightly.
"Wu Yu Bo, you destroyed my village and killed my descendants, I will return all this humiliation to you today!" Immortal Yan Huang growled.
Wu Yu Bo sneered: "Simply slander! I did that to find traces of blood path and uphold justice, eliminating evil for this world. You are not a righteous person, and you dare to smear me, you deserve death!!"
The two fought immediately.
Fang Yuan and Xia Qing Cang watched at the two ends of the battlefield, staying on guard for their respective Gu Immortals.
There was nothing to say, everyone knew the real reason, but the righteous path had to put a front of righteousness over their intentions.
Immortal Yan Huang was a fire and earth path dual cultivator, on one hand, his flames were like rising dragons, emitting tremendous heat. On the other hand, rocks were rumbling, there was a huge commotion.
Meanwhile, Wu Yu Bo cultivated water path, he moved like falling leaves, he was grand and swift ,there was grace in his actions. His body was covered in water vapor, there was drizzle from the sky, but the rain was able to dissolve all of Immortal Yan Huang's flames and rocks.
Evidently, Wu Yu Bo had the upper hand.
However, the battle had just started, both sides were probing, they had not used their Immortal Gu or immortal killer moves yet.
Fang Yuan watched as he investigated the surroundings, he was defending against Xia Qing Cang, in case he used any sneak attacks.
Xia Qing Cang seemed very relaxed, he looked at Fang Yuan at times, smiling when his gaze met with Fang Yuan's eyes.
This made Fang Yuan feel uneasy.
Xia Qing Cang was a wisdom path Gu Immortal, he was famous in Southern Border, he was a high-level character.
The battle continued.
Both sides started to use Immortal Gu and immortal killer moves.
Immortal Yan Huang was always suppressed and pressured by Wu Yu Bo, the advantage the latter had was becoming clearer.
Victory was near, Fang Yuan did not dare to be careless. If he failed his job, he would be punished when he returned to the clan.
"Yan Huang, die. It is your honor to die from my signature killer move!" Wu Yu Bo had deep killing intent, a cold light was shining in his slim and long eyes.
He activated his immortal killer move, rain poured down as clouds gathered, dark winds were howling, the three fused together to form a ball-shaped cage capturing Immortal Yan Huang.
Immortal Yan Huang was trapped inside and could not leave, he was in a desperate situation, he was about to die.
Fang Yuan closely observed Xia Qing Cang, guarding against his intervention.
But Xia Qing Cang had a smile on his face, he watched casually, seemingly having no intention to interfere.
But at this time, Immortal Yan Huang suddenly laughed loudly, the aura of countless Gu worms appeared from his body, a bright light was shining from his body.
Immediately, the cage that trapped him broke apart.
"How can this be?!" Wu Yu Bo was shocked, he was caught off-guard, his signature killer move was broken, he immediately suffered huge injuries.
The lava under Immortal Yan Huang's feet gathered and formed a battlefield.
This was an immortal battlefield killer move.
Wu Yu Bo had a pale expression, he was trapped inside the battlefield.
The situation had turned around, Wu Yu Bo was in grave danger.
With this sudden change, Fang Yuan wanted to help, but Xia Qing Cang flew to him, warning him: "Wu Yi Hai, don't be the shame of Wu clan!"
Fang Yuan chuckled: "How can an outsider like you determine if our Wu clan is shameful?"
Saying this, he turned into a divination tortoise and charged into the lava battlefield.
Xia Qing Cang praised Fang Yuan's resolute decision internally, but he did not move slowly: "In that case, have a taste of my killer move, scattering mind!"
A wisdom path immortal killer move.
Xia Qing Cang used his signature killer move right away, it was a powerful method.
Any Gu Immortal hit with this would feel their mind wandering, there would be random thoughts colliding in their mind, their battle strength would be greatly affected, if they were careless, they would fall into confusion and be unable to help themselves.
Fang Yuan chuckled, he kept charging towards the battlefield killer move without caring.
"Fool!" Xia Qing Cang mocked coldly.
At the next moment, his scattering mind hit Fang Yuan, but it dissipated, while Fang Yuan was unscathed.
Xia Qing Cang's cold smile froze on his face.
"How can this be? This is… divination tortoise?" Xia Qing Cang finally recognized Fang Yuan's transformation, he had a bitter expression.
The divination tortoise was a wisdom path ancient desolate beast, it was skilled against the deductions of wisdom path Gu Immortals. This wisdom path killer move was created from the concept of deduction, it was completely countered by the divination tortoise.
Bam.
The battlefield killer move was broken by Fang Yuan as the divination tortoise entered, immediately saving Wu Yu Bo, who was in danger.
Xia Qing Cang was about to interfere, but Fang Yuan said: "Our Wu clan has lost, this battle is over, Moon Bowl is yours!"
After hearing this, Xia Qing Cang stopped.
Immortal Yan Huang wanted to attack, but Xia Qing Cang stopped him.
The former had no choice but to watch with hatred as his enemy escaped.
"Why did you let him go?" Immortal Yan Huang roared.
Xia Qing Cang looked at him coldly: "We have already won Moon Bowl, our objective has been met. It is not the time for you to kill Wu Yu Bo yet. Don't forget that you are an external supreme elder of Xia clan, you have to think about our clan's benefits first!"
This time, Xia clan had won, if they pursued this matter, Wu clan would fight back with force.
Xia clan did not want to be Wu clan's target and lose in the end, allowing the other forces to benefit.
