Chapter 1618: Do You Believe In Fate?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Sovereign immortal aperture, an illusory dream realm.
Fang Yuan entered the dream realm.
Under the setting sun.
"Do you believe in fate?"
A human female immortal with skin as fair as snow, wearing a yellow robe, with arched eyebrows and a pair of beautiful eyes shrouded in mist, was looking sadly at the beautiful afterglow of the sun.
Fang Yuan was a rockman Gu Immortal in this dream realm, but it was not under his control.
The dream realm played by itself, the rockman Gu Immortal spoke in a low, muffled voice: "I, Tu Ji, cultivate rule path and naturally believe in fate. Fairy Ruo Li, ever since I saw you, I knew you were my fated partner, you are the person that I will pursue for love over my entire life!"
Fairy Ruo Li smiled slightly, her brows, however, furrowed a little. She looked at the rockman Gu Immortal standing beside her: "You are right, we are fated to be an immortal couple."
"Ah… wha, what? I, I, I…" The rockman Gu Immortal was astonished before becoming exulted, as he shouted in disbelief: "Fairy Ruo Li, have you accepted me?!"
Fairy Ruo Li nodded her head gently.
"Oh heavens, oh heavens! Hahaha! I am not dreaming right? Oh my heavens!" Tu Ji waved around his arms towards the sky and shouted: "I finally succeeded after failing over three thousand times! Hahaha! Fairy Ruo Li, from today onwards, you are my wife."
"Yes, you are my husband."
Tu Ji's body trembled with excitement, the trembling was so intense that rock fragments began to fall from his body.
Second scene.
Ruo Li was gently lying in Tu Ji's arms, soft like a white feather.
She looked at the sky where the clouds were moving across quickly, her eyes were clear as water.
Tu Ji's eyes however were dazed, he had not shifted his gaze at all from Ruo Li's face.
He mumbled: "It has already been twelve years, but I still feel like everything is a dream! Oh Ruo Li, my wife, I swear I will love you and protect you, if you have any wish, tell me, I will do everything to satisfy you."
"Is that so?" Ruo Li asked softly.
"Of course!" Tu Ji replied without any hesitation.
Ruo Li's face showed a rare look of hesitation, after a long while, she said with some difficulty: "Then kill someone for me."
"Kill who? Even if it is a rank eight existence, trust me, I will stake my life to kill them." Tu Ji agreed readily and seriously.
"An infant who was just born." Ruo Li smiled, her smile containing bitterness.
Tu Ji was stunned: "An infant?"
Ruo Li took a deep breath: "Do you believe in fate?"
"I cultivate rule path, I have to believe in the rules of this world. All things have their own ordained path of which is fate." Tu Ji replied.
Ruo Li continued: "Then I will tell you, this baby will become a future Gu Venerable, called Reckless Savage. And in the future, I will definitely die at his hands."
"What?!" Tu Ji was shocked: "Ruo Li, how many times have you checked this prophecy?"
Ruo Li gave a bitter smile: "Only once is enough, but I checked it many times indeed, every result was the same. Do you know why a wisdom path Gu Immortal's prophecy is so accurate? That is because fate is always fixed. I will die at Reckless Savage's hands, that is my fate."
Tu Ji's mouth became dry as waves surged and ebbed in his heart.
But shortly, soaring killing intent suddenly surged out of his body as he stood up: "Then I shall kill him! Although this is fate… I don't believe that I, the grand Tu Ji, a rank eight Gu Immortal, can't kill an infant!!"
Fang Yuan's soul foundation continued to fall as the third scene started.
Tu Ji was heavily injured when he appeared in front of Fairy Ruo Li. His lips shook and his expression was ashamed as well as shocked: "I…"
Fairy Ruo Li smiled: "I know, you encountered your fated enemy on the way there, and he just happened to have made a breakthrough."
Tu Ji was surprised: "You deduced it?"
Fairy Ruo Li nodded: "The moment you got attacked, I deduced it."
Tu Ji was dazed, he hesitated for a moment but still asked: "Then, Ruo Li, since you already deduced it, why didn't you come to help me? If we, husband and wife, joined hands, we could have definitely killed that scumbag!"
Ruo Li shook her head: "You still don't understand? This is fate's arrangement. If I didn't tell you my deductions, you would not have gone to kill that infant. If you didn't go to kill that infant, you would not have encountered your old enemy. Anyone who tries to change fate will be met with fate's punishment. Your injuries are the punishment now. If I had gone to help you, another obstruction would have appeared."
Tu Ji blinked his eyes several times before saying in joy: "So it was like that. That's good, your decision was correct. I won't let you get injured, I would rather be torn apart than see even a hair of yours get damaged."
Ruo Li gave a bitter smile as she looked at Tu Ji: "You understand the power of fate now? You don't need to try anymore, stay with me and quietly accompany me in my final moments. I believe I will be blessed with you by my side."
"No!" Tu Ji's body shook as he said resolutely: "Absolutely not! I won't stand by and watch this happen, I won't let you die. I promised to love you and protect you with my life."
"But my death is fate's arrangement. Oh Tu Ji, my husband, you said it yourself, that you believe in fate." Ruo Li said meaningfully.
"Then… then I will stop believing in it!" At first, Tu Ji struggled and hesitated, but when he finally said it, he could not restrain his roar, his anger soared to the skies.
Fourth scene.
Tu Ji went to look for that infant once again, but an earthly calamity suddenly appeared, there was a landslide, villagers ran everywhere, the infant also disappeared. Tu Ji could only kill some mortals, but he ran into several righteous path immortals. After a huge battle, Tu Ji killed a few of them, but he ended up becoming a major wanted criminal by the human Gu Immortals.
Fifth scene.
Several years later, the tribulation was strange and of unsurpassed strength, Tu Ji almost died undergoing the tribulation. When he was lying in the bed, unable to move, he heard that Ruo Li had finally deduced the specific location of that infant.
"I will go kill him!" Tu Ji struggled to stand up, but when he had just walked a few steps, he fell unconscious.
When he woke up, he saw Fairy Ruo Li had lost lifespan, her hair had turned completely white, he sobbed: "It is all my fault, all my fault, Ruo Li, you went through such painstaking efforts and finally deduced it after several years of closed cultivation… if not for my inability…"
Fairy Ruo Li smiled warmly, consoling: "No problem, I can deduce it again."
Sixth scene. They encountered a beast tide.
Seventh scene. Fairy Ruo Li's deduction failed, suffering backlash, her youth was spent and she became an old lady. She rested in Tu Ji's embrace, smiling bitterly: "Look at what I have become, I must look pathetic, right?"
Tu Ji gently stroked her hair, his gaze still containing deep love: "No, no matter what you look like, you will still be my beloved Fairy Ruo Li."
This special dream realm continued, Fang Yuan could only observe from the start.
Regardless of how Tu Ji and Ruo Li chased, all their attempts were met with failure. One time, he captured the infant, but the baby escaped by some unexpected mishap. Three times, he caught up to the infant, but whenever he tried to make the fatal attack, by some strange factors and coincidences, the baby was able to escape.
That infant was gradually growing up, becoming a Gu Immortal.
The situation moved firmly along the path decided by fate, finally nearing the day of Fairy Ruo Li's death.
Tu Ji became increasingly tense, he knew the most crucial time had arrived. He planned every day and cultivated bitterly, using anything that could increase his strength no matter what the risks were.
On the contrary, Fairy Ruo Li had loosened up, she no longer deduced ceaselessly. She persuaded Tu Ji not to risk his life. Tu Ji did not listen, getting more anxious. Sometimes, she would accompany Tu Ji, lying in his arms, then look at him warmly for a long time as if she could not savor it enough.
Finally, the eighth scene.
The fatal attack was blocked by Tu Ji with his body, he even counterattacked, forcing back that great enemy.
Tu Ji was on the verge of death, he fell in Fairy Ruo Li's arms, saying joyfully: "We… we finally won against fate. Ruo Li… my wife… I did it, I really did it, cough cough cough…"
He wanted to shout and cheer in joy, but he was too weak and coughed incessantly.
He knew he was no doubt going to die and did not have much time; using this final period of time, he grabbed Fairy Ruo Li's hand with difficulty, looking at her with incomparably deep love as he said in a solemn tone: "After I die, you must continue to live on, live well…"
Clear crystal-like tears flowed down Fairy Ruo Li's eyes, sliding down her face.
She tightly embraced Tu Ji, whispering in his ear: "Do you know? Although I cultivate wisdom path, I don't believe in fate. I had deduced fate's arrangement for me, but who would want to die? So I looked for you, actually, our marriage was not even part of the arrangements of fate. I did not love you and only wanted to use you."
Tu Ji smiled, responding in an extremely faint voice: "I knew that, but so what? I love you… I am happy and fully willing to be used by you. Thank you for giving me an opportunity to be used by you… I had once believed in fate, but I don't anymore. Look, you are still alive, fate has already been changed, this is wonderful…"
Tu Ji was no longer able to lift his heavy eyelids as they closed slowly, he no longer responded.
Fairy Ruo Li wept loudly, she had never lost her composure like this before in her life, she repeatedly shook her head and sobbed: "I did not used to believe in fate, but now I do!"
Her whole body started to let out a pure-white light that slowly entered the rockman Gu Immortal Tu Ji's body.
Tu Ji's aura gradually began to recover from its weak state, while Fairy Ruo Li's body became increasingly frail and illusory.
The rockman Gu Immortal opened his eyes once again, when he saw what was happening, he shouted in shock and panic: "No, stop, I don't want to be healed. You will die, you will die!!"
Unfortunately, he did not have any strength left and was unable to stop it.
Fairy Ruo Li's figure had already become illusory, she revealed a smile, saying with incomparable warmth and a trace of craftiness: "You are aware of it, my killer move cannot be stopped once it is activated."
"I want to say one final thing to you, the thing you wanted to hear the most."
"You silly rock… I…"
"I love you."
Once she said that, Fairy Ruo Li faded like an illusion, vanishing from the world.
"No! No——!" Tu Ji roared like an injured beast filled with anger and sorrow, he was powerlessness and in pain.

Chapter 1619: I Do Not Believe!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Gorgeous lights slowly dissipated from the stone room. Feng Jin Huang took a deep breath, staring forward without blinking, with her sharp eyes flickering with light.
A cocoon-like lump of light, the size of a millstone, was quietly floating in front of her.
"The final step." Feng Jin Huang took another deep breath, suddenly pinching all her fingers.
Her ten fingers then opened like blossoming flowers, endless bright lights flickering from them, shining upon the whole stone room!
Feng Jin Huang's movement was so skilled even refinement path grandmasters would show a solemn expression.
Feng Jin Huang was already a refinement path great grandmaster, it was not strange for her to have such exquisite Gu techniques.
What Feng Jin Huang was using was a dual metal and fire path refinement technique, she had found this method to be the most suitable for her.
Boom!
After a while, a loud sound erupted, the cocoon, however, did not explode and was instead rapidly shrinking.
The pure-white cocoon surface gradually turned into dark blue color, while the cocoon gradually turned firmer with some metallic luster.
"I finally succeeded after failing many times!" Feng Jin Huang's eyes flashed with joy. Her mind was calm the whole time, she was already starting to display the demeanor of a refinement path great expert.
The rank five Gu worm was refined, but it still needed to be processed with proper technique.
Feng Jin Huang opened her mouth, carefully breathing out wisps of cold air.
As the cold air blew on it, the blue cocoon slightly trembled and let out a buzzing noise. Large amounts of hot air rose up from the cocoon, filling the whole stone room with hot fog.
Using dual metal and fire path refinement techniques created such a residual effect, the temperature of the Gu worm would become too high and if it was not cooled down in time, it might not die, but it would be severely injured and difficult to use.
Gu refinement was an extremely deep and broad subject with countless techniques. Any Gu refinement technique had its advantages and disadvantages. If an ice refinement method was used to refine this Gu worm, the residual effect could not be treated with cold air, the Gu had to be nourished in warm water for some time.
Feng Jin Huang stopped her techniques and slowly stood up from the cushion.
The rank five Gu floated to her hand, she tested it carefully, her solemn expression bloomed like flowers as she let out a dazzling smile.
She left the secret room and walked out of the cavern.
The moment she opened the door, the huge rumbling noise of a waterfall, the sounds of birds, and the rustling of tree leaves entered her ears.
Outside of the extremely quiet secret room, the world had once again sprouted to life.
The verdant green mountains, birds singing, fragrance of the flowers, the bright sunlight, everything was tranquil and beautiful.
Feng Jin Huang looked around and saw Duke Long sitting quietly on a giant rock beside a pool.
The lights from the mountain delighted the birds, the shadows on the pool set the heart at ease.
"Master, master, take a look! I refined this dream pillow Gu." Feng Jin Huang ran over to Duke Long while holding the newly refined rank five Gu and spoke with a dazzling smile.
Duke Long slowly opened his eyes and took a glance at dream pillow Gu, he nodded his head slightly and said in a mild voice: "Not bad, not bad."
Feng Jin Huang slightly pouted: "How can it only be not bad? Master, you don't know how many times I failed in refining this Gu worm before succeeding this once. With this dream pillow Gu, mortal Gu Masters can enter dream realms if they sleep while laying their heads on it. It will be an enormous help to my Spirit Affinity House and the whole of Central Continent."
Ever since Feng Jin Huang took Duke Long as her master, she had devoted herself to cultivating. Duke Long did not instruct her in cultivation, but taught her of the situation of the whole world and his experiences, expanding her vision and knowledge.
With Duke Long's meticulous teaching, Feng Jin Huang was no longer the same as before, she now had a strategic vision and considered issues in terms of the overall view.
Feng Jin Huang's dream pillow Gu seemed ordinary but because it was a mortal Gu, it could be used by most Gu Masters. As long as this Gu was mass-produced, Central Continent's Gu Masters could easily enter their own dream realms and extract dream path Gu materials from them, gaining an early advantage in the great era.
This Gu was able to raise a whole region's strategic dominance, its significance was beyond ordinary!
Duke Long, however, showed no surprise: "It is only natural for you to have such accomplishments. Huang Er, you are the future Great Dream Immortal Venerable…"
Before Duke Long finished speaking, Feng Jin Huang interrupted with a trace of discontent: "Alright, alright, you are saying this again. Are you saying that I obtained all these accomplishments only because I am the future Great Dream Immortal Venerable?"
Duke Long chuckled as he looked at Feng Jin Huang, suddenly changing the topic: "Huang Er, do you believe in fate?"
Feng Jin Huang's brows furrowed: "Master, are you talking about fate Gu?"
Duke Long nodded: "Right, it is the fate Gu recorded in The Legends of Ren Zu, and also the fate Gu that Heavenly Court is about to restore completely."
The Legends of Ren Zu stated that Ren Zu had spent enormous energy and effort to gather Gu materials, even sacrificing his own two hands to finally refine wealth Gu.
He brought his son, Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance, and daughter, Myriad Gold Wondrous Essence, to the feathermen's residence.
But strangely, all the feathermen had disappeared with no traces left.
"What's going on?" Ren Zu was puzzled.
"That is because I arrived here, those feathermen are afraid of me, all of them ran away." A black and white spider walked towards Ren Zu leisurely.
"Who are you?" Ren Zu asked.
The spider smiled: "Human, you have walked through the road I created in the Door of Life and Death, you still don't know who I am? I am fate Gu."
Myriad Gold Wondrous Essence added: "Fate Gu, you are not even the size of my palm, why would those feathermen fear you?"
Fate Gu chuckled: "Because they pursue freedom, but I, Fate, bind and restrict them."
Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance grumbled: "So your intention was the same as us. You are really a failure, not capturing even one featherman, while hindering us as well."
Fate Gu laughed loudly: "Who said I failed? The feathermen are pursuing freedom, but what do they know? Their escape is only on the superficial level, I have already bound them. The road towards their freedom was all arranged by me, but they think they succeeded, not knowing anything. You are also the same, look at yourselves."
Ren Zu, Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance, and Myriad Gold Wondrous Essence looked at their bodies.
They discovered that white spider silk had stuck to their limbs and body for some unknown time.
They also discovered that not just themselves, even the surrounding flowers, grass, trees, rocks, water, everything was bound by the spider silk.
These spider silk gathered together to form into a spider web which spread out endlessly in the sight of Ren Zu and his children.
"This is the web that I weaved, it is called all-encompassing web. Everything in the world is bound by this web, to be arranged and controlled by me, Fate. Everyone you encountered and all the things that have happened are all controlled by me." Fate Gu said.
Ren Zu and his children felt a chill in their hearts and began to struggle fiercely.
Fate Gu smiled: "It is useless, you cannot escape. Fate cannot be altered."
Ren Zu glared at fate Gu furiously: "Oh Fate, why do you have to manipulate and toy with us? From what you said, all the hardships and misfortunes I encountered were all your doings. The loss of my children was also due to you!"
Fate Gu said calmly: "Human, I know you want to save your eldest son Verdant Great Sun, but he is already dead. Death is a necessary fate of humans, you simply cannot save him. Moreover, you want to rely on wealth Gu to save your daughter Boundless Forest Samsara, that is also impossible."
As Fate willed, a thread of spider silk bound Ren Zu's wealth Gu and dragged it in front of fate Gu.
"Release it, that is our Gu worm!" Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance shouted.
Myriad Gold Wondrous Essence's eyes reddened, sobbing: "Father sacrificed his own hands to painstakingly refine this wealth Gu. How dare you take it away?"
Ren Zu struggled fiercely, but the spider silk continued to become tighter, firmly binding them.
Fate Gu laughed loudly: "Life and death is decreed by fate, prosperity is up to heaven. Human, you are fated to be poor and menial, tormented and humiliated till you become insane, and in the end, you will also die. Although you refined wealth Gu, you don't have the fate to enjoy it. If you are fated to be poor, even if you dug out gold, it will turn to copper, if you are fated to be rich, even if you pick up paper, it will turn to silk. All these things are under my control."
Ren Zu, Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance, and Myriad Gold Wondrous Essence started cursing fate Gu furiously.
Fate Gu was not the least bit angry, still carefree and at leisure: "Many have cursed me, but so what? Humans, no matter how you curse me, it won't change anything."
Fate Gu suddenly moved the spider silk, throwing Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance and Myriad Gold Wondrous Essence far away, completely out of Ren Zu's sight.
"My children!" Ren Zu howled.
Fate Gu said darkly: "Human, don't blame me, this is your fate. Not just you, loneliness is the fate of every person. Even if they are your own children, they will not accompany you for life and will eventually leave you. Every encounter is temporary, separation is normality."
Ren Zu, however, kept on struggling, but the more he struggled, the tighter the spider silk bound him.
Ren Zu felt an increasingly enormous pressure pushing him down to the point of suffocation.
He panted heavily, he gradually lost the strength to struggle.
Ren Zu started crying, tears rolling down his cheeks: "Why does my fate have to be so pitiful!"
Fate Gu was silent.
But at this time, a voice emerged from the depths of Ren Zu's heart. The voice belonged to self Gu: "Human, believe in your own strength rather than blaming your fate!"
Ren Zu stopped crying as he suddenly realized: "Right, although I don't have strength Gu, self Gu has taken a bite of strength Gu, I have my own strength now. Self Gu, I can only rely on you."
Self Gu then erupted with a dazzling light as it attempted to break the spider silk.
Some spider silk was torn, but even more came to bind Ren Zu.
"My own strength is not enough?" Ren Zu was anxious: "Right, self Gu, you have also taken a bite of love Gu. If strength does not work, let us rely on love instead."
Thereupon, self Gu let out a gentle light as it attempted to break the spider silk, but this also failed.
Fate Gu said: "Oh human, why can't you understand? Love is a type of fate, I arranged it to make Verdant Great Sun fall in love with Desolate Ancient Moon, I also arranged it to make the rockman fall in love with Desolate Ancient Moon. I also arranged success and failure in their lives, so they eventually ended up dead."
"No! No——!" Ren Zu screamed and bawled.
Fate Gu listened quietly.
Ren Zu gradually lost the strength to cry, he mumbled powerlessly: "I understand now, I know why the feathermen pursue freedom."
Fate Gu smiled: "Human, you also want to pursue freedom?"
Ren Zu nodded: "Yes, if I have freedom, I will be no longer be bound by you."
Fate Gu: "But look at those feathermen, even though they pursue freedom, aren't they still under my control?"
Ren Zu shook his head: "My freedom is different from them. I will pursue absolute freedom."
Fate Gu laughed loudly: "A person's absolute freedom is insanity. Oh human, see for yourself, you are seeking freedom but you are actually moving towards insanity. I already said this earlier, you will lose your mind. That is the road I arranged for you, you cannot escape my control."
"No! I don't believe you! I will use my own strength and wisdom to obtain freedom. I don't believe your words, I will escape your control!" Ren Zu retorted.
Fate Gu's laughter became louder: "Oh human, you are truly going crazy, you are already deranged. Did you forget? Your self Gu has only taken a bite of strength Gu and love Gu, so you only have your own strength and love, but not your own wisdom. Oh human, when you think you are intelligent, it will be the sign that you are going crazy."
"Hahaha, hahaha." It was Ren Zu's turn to laugh: "I don't believe you, oh fate Gu, I don't believe you! I don't believe that this world has fate."
Fate Gu was silent for a moment before saying: "Even if you don't believe it, I will still exist."
Ren Zu rebuked: "No, that is not true. When I stop believing in you, you will stop existing. I refuse to believe in fate, fate does not exist! Hahaha!"
Fate Gu shook its head, sighing: "Truly pitiful, oh human, you have already fallen into insanity."
Ren Zu scratched his hair and skin, his tears and mucus mixed together, he struggled, he knelt on the ground as he rolled around.
It was like how Fate declared, he had become insane.
Time flew by rapidly as a scene of the past suddenly appeared in Duke Long's mind.
A million years ago.
"Do you believe in fate?" Duke Long was standing and looking at his disciple warmly.
His disciple was only a youngster with a glossy forehead, handsome appearance and bright eyes. He had long black hair that reached his waist, there was a lifelike red lotus birthmark on his forehead.
Duke Long continued: "Red Lotus, you are the future Immortal Venerable, you will definitely lead us humans towards the greatest prosperity and glory. You will certainly succeed, creating your own Gu worms and techniques, you will become the pride of your parents, become invincible in the world, and your name shall be marked in history. You will join Heavenly Court, become the leader of humanity, and bring blessings to all beings, your glory will shine throughout time and space."
Young Red Lotus blinked his eyes before smiling, exposing his dazzling teeth: "There does not seem to be anything bad with this. I believe in fate!"
Duke Long returned to reality after the slight trance.
He looked at Feng Jin Huang and said solemnly: "Huang Er, you need to understand that you are the future Great Dream Immortal Venerable who will surpass all the past venerables! You will create dream path and be invincible in the whole world. Your glory will shine and spread for ages, becoming the eternal symbol and support of humanity. Don't fear, don't hesitate, take each success to press forward indomitably until you reach the supreme peak of this world!"
Feng Jin Huang's eyes got brighter and brighter as she listened. She smiled with unparalleled beauty.
Duke Long also smiled.
Feng Jin Huang said: "If all this is predestined by fate, then… I do not believe in fate!"
"What?" Duke Long's smile froze on his face.

Heavenly Court.
The large formation let out buzzing noises as glaring light pierced deep into Spectral Soul's body like sharp needles.
Despite him curling up and defending with all his strength, he was still hard-pressed to resist the formation's power.
Fairy Zi Wei was concentrating fully on controlling the large formation while also absorbing all kinds of information extracted from Spectral Soul.
Only when the formation let out breaking noises did Fairy Zi Wei stop while feeling unsatisfied. She gave a deep glance at Spectral Soul.
Even if they were enemies, Fairy Zi Wei could not help but admire Spectral Soul's tenacity.
He was clearly in a desperate situation with no trace of hope, but he was still resisting to the end. He was indeed worthy of being an invincible Gu Venerable.
Fairy Zi Wei left without saying anything.
Returning to her hall, she immediately began to concentrate on deducing. The use of Star Constellation Chessboard pushed her deduction ability to the peak of the world.
Countless thoughts emerged and faded in her mind like the flickering of countless stars. Her thoughts constantly collided with each each other, even flying out of the body, turning into countless purple light specks that covered Fairy Zi Wei's body before spreading to fill the whole vast hall.
A long while later, the purple thoughts gradually drew in, dissipated and finally calmed. Fairy Zi Wei took a deep breath, stopping her methods as she slowly opened her eyes.
A layer of thin sweat had formed on her forehead, her brows were furrowed into a tight knot and she looked mentally exhausted.
"Fang Yuan, where in the world are you going to undergo tribulation?" Fairy Zi Wei muttered.
She had been working hard, repeatedly extracting various internal details of Shadow Sect from Spectral Soul. She was especially interested in Shadow Sect's arrangements left in the five regions.
Because Fang Yuan had used Shadow Sect's arrangement to capture the pursuing team of Southern Border righteous path in one go. If Fang Yuan was to undergo tribulation, he was very likely to once again rely on these arrangements. It would make no sense for him to not borrow this help.
Fairy Zi Wei had been closely paying attention to Fang Yuan's cultivation progress. After the battle in Lang Ya blessed land, she clearly deduced Fang Yuan was not far from rank eight.
Rank seven and rank eight were two completely different levels!
In the absence of rank nine, rank eights were the peak of the world.
Once Fang Yuan advances to rank eight, he would truly become difficult to suppress, and would become an enormous obstacle for Heavenly Court.
"Fang Yuan's final grand tribulation is the crucial point. If we can kill him here, it would be greatly beneficial to Heavenly Court and people all over the world."
Fairy Zi Wei was not going to let go of any chance to kill Fang Yuan, but she found this matter was extremely troubling.
Because she could not tell the specific time and location of Fang Yuan's tribulation for sure.
Fang Yuan possessed emperor yama, which had strong defensive properties, not giving her any chance to make deductions against him.
Fang Yuan also had plentiful time path methods to alter the rate of time in the immortal aperture, so it could not be estimated when he was going to undergo the final grand tribulation.
Fang Yuan also had Fixed Immortal Travel and could undergo his tribulation anywhere in the world. How could Fairy Zi Wei make arrangements like this?
The most she could do was rule out black heaven and white heaven.
Because a blessed land would absorb a slightly higher amount of earth qi when undergoing tribulation, so it was usually done in the five regions.
Naturally, the possibility of undergoing tribulation in black or white heaven was small but not zero, there were several areas which were special and had abundant earth qi.
But what about the five regions?
The River of Time was only a secluded domain of heaven and earth, so Fairy Zi Wei could arrange Immortal Gu Houses in it and guard it heavily.
But when it came to the huge area of the five regions, even thousands of Immortal Gu Houses would not be enough. Let alone when Heavenly Court did not have enough manpower to assign to every area of five regions to interfere with Fang Yuan's tribulation.
Fairy Zi Wei heaved a sigh, she did not have any good solutions.
The plan now was to use all her strength to extract valuable clues from Spectral Soul and use them to deduce the possible locations where Fang Yuan could undergo tribulation. Meanwhile, she would actively contact the righteous path forces of five regions and release the news of Fang Yuan undergoing tribulation. Heavenly Court did not have control over the other four regions and was only able to borrow their strength.
The news that Fang Yuan was about to undergo tribulation quickly spread throughout the five regions.
Not only the righteous path clans and sects, even demonic and lone immortals heard about it.
Currently, Fang Yuan was already renowned throughout the five regions. Although he only had rank seven cultivation, his battle accomplishments were so amazing that he was already recognized as the number one person below rank eight. The Gu Immortal world acknowledged that even Feng Jiu Ge was inferior to him, he was the strongest new star of the demonic path in the last hundred years, his growth was so shockingly fast that when the Gu Immortal world reacted, he had already become a demonic path overlord.
So the news of Fang Yuan undergoing tribulation quickly created a heated discussion in the Gu Immortal world of the five regions.
"If this demon passes the final grand tribulation, he will become a rank eight Gu Immortal, how can we ignore this?!"
"Demons are rising while the righteous path is weakening, what else can we do?"
"This person is extraordinary, he possesses Spring Autumn Cicada, is someone who has been reborn, and also has obtained the inheritances of multiple venerables. A grand tribulation cannot stop him."
"I have a different opinion. As the saying goes 'one who commits many injustices is doomed to failure', this demon is too arrogant, he wants to undergo tribulation, but he has to first see if Heavenly Court or the entire world's righteous path are allowing it or not."
Some were optimistic about Fang Yuan while some were pessimistic. But, one point was clear, the absolute majority of the Gu Immortals did not want to see Fang Yuan succeed in his tribulation.
"This demon brought chaos to the world when he was just rank six and even more disaster when he is rank seven, would he topple the world if he advances to rank eight?"
"I don't care if Fang Yuan undergoes tribulation in other places. But if he undergoes tribulation in Southern Border, my Tie clan will not allow it!"
While the Gu Immortal world was in fervent discussions, Southern Border's righteous path forces were also actively holding meetings or frequently contacting each other to discuss about how to deal with Fang Yuan.
Despite there still being hostages in Fang Yuan's hands, if they were able to take this chance to eradicate this disaster, Southern Border's righteous path forces would be more than happy.
The reason was simple: benefits!
Ignoring Fang Yuan and letting him grow stronger meant he would increasingly become a bigger threat and shroud over Southern Border's righteous path, like a dark cloud. There might even be a day where one of them might face a calamity under his hands.
More importantly, Fang Yuan had an extremely huge amount of Immortal Gu, Immortal Gu recipes, inheritances, and all kinds of cultivation resources, he was simply a moving treasure trove. They might be able to obtain enormous benefits by killing him. Even if his immortal aperture was destroyed, as long as a fragment of his soul remains, these righteous path forces could soul search and might obtain some venerable's incomplete inheritance. Just this alone was enough for these righteous path forces to go after him like a flock of cranes.
Wu Yong said in a heavy voice: "The headquarters of Shadow Sect are in Southern Border, there are bound to be many arrangements put in place here. Previously, Fang Yuan used one of the arrangements to capture many immortals. There is a high probability of Fang Yuan undergoing tribulation in Southern Border!"
Prior to saying this, Wu Yong had secretly received information from Fairy Zi Wei and knew of several arrangements Shadow Sect had put in Southern Border.
Wu Yong was fully aware Fairy Zi Wei was making use of him to deal with Fang Yuan. But Wu Yong was willing to be used. Because Fang Yuan had heavily toyed with him by disguising as Wu Yi Hai, Fang Yuan being alive was the greatest disgrace to the whole of Wu clan and him, Wu Yong!
"Lord Wu Yong's analysis is sound." Qiao clan Gu Immortal immediately added: "Fang Yuan captured Gu Immortals from every clan, he is also an inheritor of Shadow Sect, the current sect leader, he definitely has powerful soul path methods. After soul searching the captives, he will be clear of the situation of our Southern Border righteous path."
"Moreover, our Southern Border has been through all kinds of large changes in these recent years, be they lone or demonic immortals, they have all suffered severe losses, especially our righteous path. If that demon undergoes tribulation here, he will face the least obstruction."
"Even if Fang Yuan undergoes tribulation in Southern Border, how can we keep a lookout? Southern Border is so large, he could very well undergo tribulation in some corner, how would we know?" A Gu Immortal asked.
"We can know it by investigating." Xia clan Gu Immortal replied, "Once he places his immortal aperture and connects to the world, he has to maintain this state till he finishes the tribulation. He will no longer be hidden in this period of time, and we will be able to trace him. Even without others' help, our Xia clan's wisdom path Gu Immortals will be able to deduce his specific location with the help of our formation."
"Of course, if there are many wisdom path Gu Immortals helping us, we will have even more certainty in deducing Fang Yuan's location, and also much more quickly." Another Xia clan Gu Immortal continued, "The true difficulty is not in deducing his location but how we can reach there in time. There is also a premise here that we must have gathered a considerable number of Gu Immortals to deal with Fang Yuan."
Southern Border's Gu Immortals fell into silence.
Since ancient times, the Southern Border righteous path forces were numerous and divided, no one submitting to others. And to eliminate Fang Yuan, these Southern Border forces had to work with full cooperation and unity.
This could be considered an unprecedented event.
Fang Yuan was currently able to fight rank eight, but he was one person in the end. Any single super clan of the righteous path could make sure Fang Yuan had more trouble than he could handle during the tribulation, causing him to fail his tribulation and even die.
Because these righteous path forces either possessed rank eight Gu Immortal or had Immortal Gu Houses that could fight rank eight. Most of them had managed their territories and resources for thousands of years or even tens of thousands of years, so they had incomparably robust foundation. In contrast, Fang Yuan had developed for a considerably shorter time.
But was it possible for one super clan to use all their strength against Fang Yuan?
Impossible.
This was a jungle, every righteous path clan was a fierce beast who ruled over a territory. If this fierce beast left its territory to attack another fierce beast, even if the latter was not fully developed, it would still have claws and fangs.
This risk was too large.
Even if it killed the other, the fierce beast could very likely be injured and if its injuries were too severe, other fierce beasts would be attracted to invade.
Of course, the invasion would be under the cover of justice. They would find all sorts of excuses, with so many conflicts between Southern Border righteous path forces over the years, would they be worried about not finding an excuse?
Even if they really had no excuse, they could offer to 'help'. For instance, take the initiative to help for the 'prosperity of Southern Border'. Look at how passionate I am to help you. Do you dare to refuse? Do you have the strength to refuse?
So, the true difficulty in dealing with Fang Yuan did not lie in Fang Yuan himself.
Was Fang Yuan strong?
Indeed, being able to fight rank eight with rank seven cultivation was extremely rare even in history.
But what if he was compared to a super force?
Fang Yuan was not strong, he could not compare to a group's strength. After continuous conflicts, Fang Yuan would start bleeding.
Some Southern Border Gu Immortals could only smile bitterly because they knew: The current situation was ironic. The ones binding them were themselves. They were wary of each other and kept each other in check. They divided their forces to guard their large territories to defend against each other.
The silence lasted a long while, until a Tie clan Gu Immortal suddenly spoke: "Actually, there is a way to resolve a portion of this issue. Everyone knows of the Immortal Gu House Beacon Tower of my Tie clan."
Southern Border Gu Immortals maintained their silence, but it did not last long when another voice spoke: "I agree with Tie clan in building Beacon Towers."
Everyone was shocked, because this person was none other than Wu clan's first supreme elder Wu Yong!
Even that rank six Tie clan Gu Immortal who had spoken just now was surprised. Wu Yong actually supported Tie clan in building Beacon Tower?
While everyone was still in shock, Wu Yong spoke again, his voice was low and deep, his every word landing in the immortals' minds like a giant rock.
He said: "It is time to make a change. Have you still not realized? The wave of the great era is already upon us, the five regions' regional walls have also started to thin. If we don't start changing now, we will be submerged by this wave of the new era."
The immortals fell into silence.
Another person stood up, he was Ba clan's first supreme elder who had always wanted to seize the number one position from Wu clan.
He rarely spoke and thus startled everyone: "My Ba clan supports Wu Yong. We need to look ahead, Central Continent has Heavenly Court, Northern Plains has Longevity Heaven, what does our Southern Border have?"
He paused for a moment before making a logical point: "We have many forces but every force is independent, we will be taken down by the other regions eventually. So I support Wu Yong and also agree to Tie clan building Beacon Towers."
Not long after him, Chi clan's first supreme elder Chi Qu You expressed his support.
Then, Luo clan, Hou clan, Chai clan, and so on also expressed their strong intent to unite.
Southern Border's immortals suddenly realized that this event was of an extreme importance and would be recorded in the history of Southern Border!
Never had such a situation appeared where Southern Border's righteous path forces joined hands. This was not just a superficial proclamation, but a true close cooperation!
The atmosphere was heated like never before, waves rose in Southern Border Gu Immortals' minds as they felt an excitement at participating in a historical moment!
"Let Fang Yuan be the first sacrificial offering to our Southern Alliance, then… the other four regions!" Wu Yong did not conceal his ambitions.

Chapter 1621: Fang Yuan's Tribulation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Several months later, Southern Border.
In a nameless ordinary valley.
"Hah!" Rank six female immortal Ba Tao gave a loud shout as auras surged out from her body. She lifted her hands like she was bearing thousands of kilograms of weight, her face quickly reddened and her body started trembling in exhaustion.
"Quick." Ba Tao urged.
A Gu Immortal who was standing at the side activated a killer move.
This person was a young looking rank six Gu Immortal from Tie clan. He was Tie Yi, son of Tie Qu Zhong.
Red light spheres started rising up, suddenly with a loud sound, the spheres turned into a soaring red light pillar that shot towards the skies.
But at this time, an old looking Gu Immortal revealed himself, he was standing on clouds. With a wave of his hand, he suppressed this red light pillar.
The red light pillar dissipated, revealing a seven floored pagoda that looked like it was forged from bronze. A fire was quietly burning on top of the pagoda.
"Done." Tie Yi let out a breath of air, revealing a satisfied expression: "Another Beacon Tower is built."
"So exhausting." Ba Tao breathed a sigh of relief as she sat on the ground, panting.
The old looking Gu Immortal slowly floated down, at the same time, countless Gu worms gathered and went inside his sleeves.
This was a small group tasked to build Beacon Towers.
There were three people, Tie clan Gu Immortal Tie Yi was in charge of building the Beacon Towers, Ba Tao was supporting him, while the old Gu Immortal was in charge of setting up a formation to disguise the process. After all, the commotion of the Beacon Tower's construction was huge and could easily be known by others.
There were still more than a dozen of such groups. After Southern Border's righteous path forces agreed to collaborate, these small groups rushed everywhere to build Beacon Towers.
"Beacon Tower is indeed worthy of being Tie clan's signature Immortal Gu House, it is truly unbelievable for a Gu House formed from mortal Gu to be able to transport Gu Immortals!" The old Gu Immortal sighed while gazing at the Beacon Tower.
Tie Yi helped Ba Tao stand and replied to the old Gu Immortal: "The true terror of Beacon Tower is that the higher the number of Beacon Towers built, the greater their overall power. To reach an Immortal Gu House's power, there needs to be at least one hundred Beacon Towers. Right now, the number of Beacon Towers in Southern Border is already over one thousand and can transport rank seven Gu Immortals. But to transport rank eights, we need at at least ten thousand Beacon Towers."
"Many thanks for clearing my doubts." The old Gu Immortal expressed his thanks.
Tie Yi and the old Gu Immortal glanced at each other and smiled.
If it were before, this secret of Beacon Tower absolutely could not be mentioned. But because Southern Border's righteous path was uniting, the Gu Immortals' attitude towards each other was gradually changing.
"If we had a Beacon Tower near that tributary of the River of Time, our Southern Border righteous path could have mobilized our troops and saved my grandfather in time." Ba Tao mumbled in a daze while looking at the Beacon Tower.
"Ba Tao, we still have hope. Wasn't Yi clan's Gu Immortal released by Fang Yuan? This demon Fang Yuan just wants more cultivation resources." The old Gu Immortal consoled.
Tie Yi did not speak, his mind was, however, in a disorder.
His situation was similar to Ba Tao, his father Tie Qu Zhong had also been captured by Fang Yuan.
He was of course furious and hated Fang Yuan, but he had to admit that if Fang Yuan had not captured so many Southern Border Gu Immortals and made Southern Border righteous path feel pain, would Southern Border righteous path forces have united so quickly?
Between comfort and pain, the latter was able to move people's hearts much more easily.
Sometimes, Tie Yi felt this situation was ironic. Beacon Tower's plan had been Tie clan's dream since long ago, but it had come to fruition because of a demonic path overlord. Naturally, there was also another important reason, the impending great era. But regardless, Fang Yuan's actions had played a key role.
Whoosh whoosh.
The Beacon Tower suddenly let out a strange sound, even slightly shaking for a moment.
"What's going on?" This sight immediately attracted the old Gu Immortal's attention, he frowned and looked at Tie Yi.
Ba Tao also casted her gaze at Tie Yi.
She had participated in building many Beacon Towers, but had never seen this scene before. Were there some flaws in the construction of this Beacon Tower?
Tie Yi's frown was even deeper: "You don't need to worry, this scene is not because of an issue with this Beacon Tower, it is because one of the Beacon Towers spread throughout the Southern Border has been completely destroyed."
"Oh? So it was like that." The old Gu Immortal slightly relaxed.
Ba Tao snorted coldly.
This scene was within the expectations of Southern Border's righteous path. Although the construction of Beacon Towers had obtained the approval of Southern Border's righteous path, Southern Border's Gu Immortal world had demonic cultivators and lone cultivators as well.
Beacon Towers were under the control of Tie clan, it represented the benefits of Tie clan and other Southern Border super forces, which had no relation to these demonic and lone cultivators.
It was extremely likely for a Beacon Tower to be destroyed by these Gu Immortals if they discovered it.
"Investigate who attacked, we will kill them as a warning to the others!" The old Gu Immortal's killing intent soared, this was one of the methods, discussed by the Southern Border righteous path forces, to deal with such matters.
However, at the next moment, Beacon Tower's anomaly shocked the three immortals.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh.
A series of strange sounds resounded for a while. The newly constructed Beacon Tower trembled non-stop like an epileptic patient.
"What happened?"
"This… does this mean many Beacon Towers are being destroyed successively?"
Ba Tao and the old Gu Immortal once again looked at Tie Yi.
This time, even Tie Yi was puzzled as he mumbled: "Strange, does this Beacon Tower really have an issue?"
But at the next moment, their doubt was removed.
The three immortals' expressions changed because they had received astonishing news at almost the same time.
The mad destruction of Beacon Towers was caused by only one person, it was none other than the nefarious and unpardonable demonic path overlord Fang Yuan!
"Fang Yuan has outstanding wisdom path methods, it is not difficult for him to deduce the location of these Beacon Towers. He also has Fixed Immortal Travel and can move anywhere freely. It is not strange for him to be able to do this." Tie Yi's expression was gloomy.
"Damn it! That incompetent Heavenly Court, they actually let Fang Yuan steal Fixed Immortal Travel!" Ba Tao said furiously with clenched fists.
The old Gu Immortal was steady and cautious: "We should return to our clans. Since Fang Yuan is moving about, it is not safe outside."
Tie Yi and Ba Tao tensed up as they thought of Fang Yuan's methods, having no intention to stay behind.
At the same time, Wu Yong, Chi Qu You and other clan leaders were in an urgent meeting.
"Fang Yuan probably noticed the threat of Beacon Towers so he is taking an early action to destroy them! Look, my clan's Beacon Tower has already made him feel unease." Tie clan's first supreme elder said.
"Hmph, just let him destroy. The construction of Beacon Towers is quite difficult and requires Gu Immortals to personally do it. But they are only constructed with mortal Gu, so their cost is low, we can just let him destroy them." Shang clan's first supreme elder laughed coldly, showing the aura of a wealthy force.
Wu Yong, however, frowned, he had slightly more understanding of Fang Yuan: "Fang Yuan is crafty, we cannot look down on him. I feel like his action has another deep meaning, it is not as simple as it looks."
Wu Yong's words immediately attracted other Gu Immortals' attention.
One of them spoke: "Would this be possible? Fang Yuan is going to undergo tribulation in Southern Border, and one of these Beacon Towers is extremely near to the location where he will undergo tribulation. So he took action and destroyed a large amount of them."
"It is reasonable!"
"Quick, gather wisdom path Gu Immortals to make deductions!"
"As long as Fang Yuan makes a move, he will leave behind all kinds of clues. Right now, he is making a big commotion, we will definitely have more gains in our deductions."
After a round of deductions, there were indeed great results.
Southern Border righteous path obtained three locations which had the greatest possibility of being the areas where Fang Yuan would undergo tribulation.
"Quickly investigate."
"These three areas should be emphasized and guarded heavily."
Similar commands were passed down, Southern Border's Gu Immortal world moved with an unprecedented and united pace, all to kill their common enemy.
A moment later, shocking news reached every Southern Border force — there was an unusual disturbance of heaven and earth qi in the five regional mountain range and its range was extremely large!

Chapter 1622: Besieging Fang Yuan
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Five regional mountain range?" Jun Shen Guang's thoughts flickered.
Fang Yuan's unbridled destruction of Beacon Towers caused a huge commotion, even Heavenly Court, which had very weak influence in Southern Border, was able to detect it.
Southern Border's righteous path forces had gathered many wisdom path Gu Immortals and deduced three locations, which also included the five regional mountain range.
While in Heavenly Court, Fairy Zi Wei deduced alone but had found out about five regional mountain range a step earlier.
Jun Shen Guang immediately moved towards the five regional mountain range.
At the same time, all kinds of relevant information about the five regional mountain range appeared in his mind.
This five regional mountain range was not a naturally formed mountain range, but was man-made. The person who could create such a mountain range was naturally not ordinary, he was rank eight restriction path Gu Immortal Tao Zhu.
This person had extraordinary attainment level and was called Restriction Expert. He had done deep research regarding the five regional walls, he attempted to find a way to allow Gu Immortals to travel through the regional walls easily.
Unfortunately, even until his death, there had been no progress. But this five regions mountain range was left behind and became a special area in Southern Border.
"Senior Thunder Ghost True Monarch was beaten by Fang Yuan when she chased him into the regional wall, this battle revealed the secret of Fang Yuan receiving almost no suppression in regional walls. The regional walls can even be said to be his natural territory."
"Unfortunately for him, it is almost impossible to draw in heaven and earth qi in regional walls, he definitely can't undergo tribulation in the regional walls. But five regional mountain range is different, this area is man-made and has ample earth qi since it is in Southern Border, heaven qi is also not scarce in it, it is also able to provide some territorial advantages for Fang Yuan!"
Jun Shen Guang was extremely fast, he had already crossed tens of thousands of li while all kinds of thoughts moved rapidly in his mind. He could already see the five regional mountain range on the horizon.
Jun Shen Guang was able to so quickly rush to the scene because he had been lurking near this area.
Everyone knew of the five regional mountain range, it was not a secret.
Months ago, Fairy Zi Wei had deduced some locations where Fang Yuan might undergo tribulation. Five regional mountain range was among the top possible locations.
As such, the five regional mountain range was one of the heavily observed locations by Heavenly Court.
This time, to deal with Fang Yuan, Fairy Zi Wei did not hesitate to transfer many rank eight Gu Immortals into the other four regions. Southern Border had two, Jun Shen Guang was one of them, the other was a rank eight Gu Immortal, Wei Feng, who was rather far away but was currently rushing towards the location with all haste.
Jun Shen Guang reached close to five regional mountain range and activated a killer move to hide himself before carefully moving forward.
Swoosh swoosh!
Endless amounts of heaven and earth qi, like giant river waves, were drawn in and gathered in the central area of the five regional mountain range.
That area was covered in shadows and bright light, nothing could be seen. That area was like a bottomless hole that endlessly devoured the enormous amount of heaven and earth qi.
"This scale, it is truly terrifying…" Jun Shen Guang felt a chill from the sight. He quickly activated his unique investigative methods.
After Fang Yuan successfully trapped and captured the group of Southern Border Gu Immortals, Jun Shen Guang had appeared to inspect the battlefield.
Right now, Jun Shen Guang was vigilant and did not dare to rashly move ahead even though he was a rank eight Gu Immortal, a rank higher than Fang Yuan. If by any chance, he rashly entered the five regional mountain range and discovered it was Fang Yuan's trap, it would be truly miserable.
After Jun Shen Guang inspected properly, he confirmed someone was indeed undergoing tribulation.
But whether it was Fang Yuan or not was unknown.
Jun Shen Guang was extremely patient and used other methods, after a while of investigation, he confirmed an otherworldly demon was undergoing tribulation.
As such, Jun Shen Guang was almost one hundred percent sure this was where Fang Yuan was.
"He is truly undergoing tribulation here!" Jun Shen Guang mumbled, his gaze holding some disbelief.
But he quickly reacted, smiling at himself: "The truth sounds fake while the lies sound real, Fang Yuan is clearly here but I actually don't dare to believe it."
Northern Plains' Hei tribe had unique methods that could detect otherworldly demons. Heavenly Court naturally also had similar killer moves.
Back when Fairy Zi Wei had tried to persuade Fang Yuan to surrender, she had revealed: Heavenly Court is the Heavenly Court of humanity, even otherworldly demons would be accepted in it. Heavenly Court had indeed recruited otherworldly demons before but there were no clear records in history, so others were unaware.
It was not strange for Heavenly Court to possess such methods.
Jun Shen Guang was currently using this method.
"The probability of Fang Yuan taking such methods into consideration and deceiving us is too low. After all, even if he has reborn, this method was specially modified by Lady Zi Wei recently."
"I've heard that after Yuan Qiong Du joined Heavenly Court, besides being in charge of restoring fate Gu, he has also been refining Immortal Gu targeted towards dealing with Fang Yuan."
There were cases in history where rank eight demonic path Gu Immortals caused havoc in the world.
When Heavenly Court became unable to restrain them easily, they would refine Immortal Gu to deal with such demons. This kind of Immortal Gu were specially meant to subdue specific demons, and as such had extraordinary effect.
Fang Yuan was only rank seven but was already thought so highly by Heavenly Court, a case like this was unprecedented even in history.
"There could be another reason, he is no longer able to delay the grand tribulation and must undergo the tribulation!" Jun Shen Guang's eyes flashed with sharp light.
Someone was undergoing tribulation here and that person was an otherworldly demon; it was clear that person was Fang Yuan.
If it were someone else, who would come to this place to undergo tribulation?
Adding on the scale of the heaven and earth qi, and the otherworldly demon identity, who else could it be other than Fang Yuan?
"Good, good, good. Fang Yuan, my Heavenly Court has finally caught you!" Jun Shen Guang's face shined with increasing excitement.
Fang Yuan had already started his tribulation and could not move casually during this time, he had become a live target.
Even if he had Fixed Immortal Travel, how could he use it?
This could be said to be Fang Yuan's weakest moment.
Jun Shen Guang's expression slowly calmed down, turning serious as a deadly and murderous aura moved around his body.
"If I kill Fang Yuan, I will make a world-shaking contribution!" Jun Shen Guang's heart was set on fire, it was truly lucky that he could encounter such a good opportunity!
"No wonder Lady Zi Wei once told me that I had abundant luck, although it is not a match for Fang Yuan's, I won't be suppressed by his luck as long as I don't make the first move. If I stalk from behind like an oriole, waiting for Fang Yuan's luck to weaken, I have a chance to win."
Jun Shen Guang's eyes were already burning with killing intent.
"So what if it is the five regional mountain range? It is only an imitation of the regional walls, even if Fang Yuan was undergoing tribulation in the regional wall, I, Jun Shen Guang, would forcibly enter and kill him!"
Rumble!
A sonic wave suddenly erupted as an Immortal Gu House charged into the five regional mountain range like lightning.
Jun Shen Guang's heart immediately chilled: "Clear Jade Dripping Wind Tiny Bamboo Building? These Southern Border immortals arrived really fast! Sure enough, the Beacon Towers helped them a lot. Even my Heavenly Court does not have such methods to gather troops so quickly. When we invade Southern Border in the future, we must first get rid of these Beacon Towers."
Jun Shen Guang was actually somewhat happy to see these Southern Border righteous path forces. He wanted these people to spearhead the attack, wearing down Fang Yuan's battle strength and luck.
Clear Jade Dripping Wind Tiny Bamboo Building rose to the sky, Wu Yong and the Southern Border righteous path immortals were looking at the whole five regional mountain range from within the bamboo building.
Many Gu Immortals felt puzzled and stunned at such a scale of heaven and earth qi.
Some wisdom path Gu Immortals deduced together, and soon, one of them excitedly said: "It is almost certain that Fang Yuan is undergoing tribulation here!"
"Great!"
"Wonderful, wonderful."
"Fang Yuan is a heinous demon with deep sins, we will avenge our Southern Border righteous path's brethren by taking his head today."
"We are saving the world by killing this demon, we will bring blessings to the people of the world!"
"Hmph, this Fang Yuan really thinks my Southern Border righteous path is a pushover? He is really undergoing tribulation in Southern Border."
"Hehehe, he probably thought we will be afraid because he has our members in captivity. Little could he imagine how firm our Southern Border righteous path is in defending our values!"
The Southern Border immortals were full of battle intent.
Xia clan's second supreme elder Xia Zhao and third supreme elder Xia Chen Yuan looked at each other with helplessness. They really wanted to save their first supreme elder Xia Cha, but they had no choice but to go with the flow in this atmosphere.
Southern Border's righteous path forces were already suppressing deep anger from being extorted by Fang Yuan. It was just that they were not able to find Fang Yuan's location, after calculating the benefits, they chose to be extorted to protect the hostages.
But at this moment, Fang Yuan was in front of them, as long as they killed him, they might be able to obtain inheritances of multiple venerables, countless cultivation resources, and several secluded domains of heaven and earth!
The soaring hatred and the enormous benefits made these Southern Border Gu Immortals' eyes turn red.
"Our Southern Border righteous path alliance is newly established, we need to establish a name for ourselves using an infamous demon, Fang Yuan is perfect for this. Everyone, this damned demon is undergoing tribulation, we have limited time, we will attack from all sides and make his death anniversary exactly a year from now!" Under Wu Yong's command, Southern Border righteous path immortals rushed out.
They had a powerful group of immortals: Chi Qu You, Shang Wu Jie, and other rank eight Gu Immortals; seniors with high authority like Xia Zhao and others, rank seven experts like Yao Du, Hou Teng, Ba De and so on. Even Jun Shen Guang who was hiding inwardly clicked his tongue. This was almost the full force of Southern Border's righteous path, there were probably only some minor rank six immortals left to guard their headquarters.
At this moment, inside the sovereign immortal aperture.
Heaven qi was surging rapidly, boundless lumps of lights condensed into dozens of giant beams of light and shot towards Fang Yuan.
Earth qi solidified, restraining Fang Yuan's movement.
Fang Yuan was austere, his attention was not on the tribulation, but outside his immortal aperture.
"Oh wow, quite a number of people have showed up. Southern Border's righteous path really hates me, of course the wealth I possess is also extremely attractive. Besides them, there definitely have to be Heavenly Court's Gu Immortals lying in ambush, but I am not able to find them for now."
He had captured many Southern Border Gu Immortals and soul searched them, gaining deep understanding of Southern Border's righteous path, but he did not dare to have any hint of carelessness right now.
Southern Border's righteous path had robust foundations and hidden trump cards. Especially some deeply hidden trump cards, even the clan's first supreme elder might not be aware of them, let alone the captives in Fang Yuan's hands.
"The Beacon Towers are troublesome indeed." Fang Yuan heaved a sigh.
"I destroyed so many, but it is extremely easy for them to construct more again. In my first life of five hundred years, Southern Border was defeated repeatedly before they finally began constructing Beacon Towers on a large scale. In this life, because of me, the construction of the Beacon Towers has been brought forward. Those holding high positions are indeed not simple, they cannot be underestimated."

Chapter 1623: Eight Ears Monkey
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Southern Border immortals immediately felt strong forces of repulsion and attraction when they entered the five regional mountain range.
They activated their killer moves to move forward while maintaining defensive methods, their immortal apertures shook constantly as they suffered backlash from their immortal killer moves.
"This demon chose quite a good place!" Some Southern Border Gu Immortals said with hatred.
"Even if my immortal aperture is destroyed, I will get rid of this demon!" Many Gu Immortals instead became filled with battle intent as their thoughts of killing Fang Yuan became even more firm.
Fang Yuan was so crafty and vicious, he was audacious and arrogant, having no fear of even Heavenly Court let alone of the other regions' righteous paths.
This person was only rank seven but had ambushed Southern Border's righteous path immortals and taken them captive for ransom, if he was allowed to advance to rank eight, how disastrous would that be?
If Fang Yuan was a righteous path member, it would be fine.
Righteous path had to abide by rules. But he was of the demonic path, a lone individual, he killed or robbed others for the cultivation resources he needed. This was an irreconcilable conflict!
Moreover, Fang Yuan not only had terrifying battle strength to kill and loot, he could even defend against deductions, this was too frightening.
This calamity must be eradicated as early as possible!
"Kill! Charge in!! Avenge our clansmen."
"Whoever kills Fang Yuan will be heavily rewarded by me, Shang Wu Jie!"
"I, Chi Qu You, will personally set up an immortal formation for them!"
"My Wu clan will open the treasury and let the person who kills Fang Yuan choose three Immortal Gu!!"
The morale of Southern Border's Gu Immortals soared crazily in front of the great rewards. They split into various groups and moved to every area of the five regional mountain range, creating a perimeter around the central area before charging in.
Caw caw!
A series of chicken cries was heard, a giant immemorial year chicken suddenly appeared and blocked Shang Wu Jie's group.
Fang Yuan had naturally made arrangements, spreading immemorial year beasts in all directions to block the enemy.
This immemorial year chicken charged ferociously towards the Southern Border Gu Immortals.
The accompanying rank seven Gu Immortals felt a chill in their hearts and were about to defend with all their strength when they suddenly heard Shang Wu Jie's snort.
"A little chick trying to block me!" Shang Wu Jie shouted, directly activating a rank eight killer move.
Boom!
The immemorial year chicken was sent flying, it crashed into a mountain and fell unconscious immediately.
The rank seven Gu Immortals gasped at this sight, their gaze towards Shang Wu Jie had already changed.
"Shang Wu Jie might be a rank eight Gu Immortal but he was never famous for his battle strength, I didn't imagine his offensive move to be so fierce!"
"An immemorial year chicken is still an immemorial year beast, but was knocked unconscious by Shang Wu Jie without even a chance to retaliate."
"Ferocious, too ferocious!"
"Shang clan is ranked among the top five super forces of Southern Border, but the strength Shang Wu Jie showed is too powerful."
Shang Wu Jie's performance was extremely shocking. No matter how weak the immemorial year chicken was, it was still at rank eight level, who could have thought it would be get done in by just one move.Read more chapter at vipnovel
"Oh? He brought weak chicken Gu with him…" Fang Yuan was observing the situation outside while undergoing the tribulation.
The immemorial year chicken's poor performance made Fang Yuan recall a famous transaction in his previous life. Ba clan rank seven Gu Immortal Ba Ji paid an enormous price to obtain rank eight weak chicken Gu from Shang clan. Because of some special method, he was actually able to use this Immortal Gu and increase his strength greatly, successively raising a huge storm in the five regions chaotic war.
"Currently, Gu Immortal Ba Ji is still in closed cultivation, he is not famous and is hardly regarded by anyone. Weak chicken Gu is still with Shang clan and was brought by Shang Wu Jie to deal with me."
Shang Wu Jie's battle strength was not outstanding among Southern Border's rank eights, but he created a great sensation with weak chicken Gu.
Fortunately, that immemorial year rooster was only unconscious and not killed, it could still be saved.
Fang Yuan immediately sent an immemorial year snake to attack Shang Wu Jie's group.
The two sides confronted, Shang Wu Jie was immediately obstructed, his previous momentum coming to an abrupt stop.
Several other groups were also facing Shang Wu Jie's situation, and they all had rank eight Gu Immortals. Fang Yuan was clearly prioritizing defending against these rank eight existences.
These immemorial year beasts were not the match of the rank eight Gu Immortals in one-on-one combat, but they could block them for some time.
Moreover, it was different in the five regional mountain range.
The difficulty of using any immortal killer move increased greatly and the Gu Immortal would even suffer the backlash. There were also attraction and repulsion forces that constantly disturbed the Gu Immortals. They not only had to concentrate on the fight, but also had to constantly pay attention to these constant attraction and repulsion forces.
These attraction and repulsion forces became greater on those with higher cultivation. Rank eight Gu Immortals would face great difficulty to make any move, this was also why, under normal situations, rank eight Gu Immortals traveled through black heaven or white heaven, detouring around this path.
But in the end, the five regional mountain range was only an imitation of five regions' regional walls, so its obstruction towards rank eight Gu Immortals was not as powerful as the true regional walls. Even so, it still greatly restricted the actions of rank eight Gu Immortals.
For a moment, even Wu Yong had to use all his strength to fight the immemorial year beast, unable to move any further.
These immemorial year beasts came from the River of Time and were not born in the five regions, so they suffered no restrictions.
As for Immortal Gu House Clear Jade Dripping Wind Tiny Bamboo Building, it was a consolidated immortal killer move and would be severely restrained in the five regional mountain range. Wu Yong had already stored it inside his immortal aperture and did not dare to rashly take it out.
"This demon's scheme is truly sly, no wonder he chose this place to undergo tribulation!" A Gu Immortal coughed out blood and shouted.
"Forget us, charge in and disturb Fang Yuan's tribulation. We can't let him pass this tribulation!" Chi Qu You shouted.
Fang Yuan had arranged all the immemorial year beasts, but their numbers were not as high as the Southern Border Gu Immortals.
While the immemorial year beasts were restraining the Southern Border immortals, they were also being restrained at the same time. Many Southern Border Gu Immortals passed around the immemorial year beasts and charged towards Fang Yuan.
"Formation, rise!" Fang Yuan was not panicked, under his command, a large immortal formation suddenly activated in the surroundings.
Instantly, the Southern Border Gu Immortals lost their five senses, dense fog appeared before them making them lose their direction.
"This demon had a backup plan indeed!"
"Don't be afraid, Immortal Gu Houses can't be used easily in the five regional mountain range, the same applies to immortal formations. Once enough time passes, it will collapse by itself, at that time, Fang Yuan will have to bear the backlash of the collapse!"
"No, this is exactly that demon's plan. As long as he can hold out for this time and pass the tribulation, even if the formation collapses and he suffers backlash, he can use Fixed Immortal Travel to escape."
The Southern Border Gu Immortals rapidly conversed with each other, immediately realizing Fang Yuan's delaying tactic.
"We need to break this formation as soon as possible!"
"Do you have such methods?"
"Not good, Chi clan's Gu Immortals are all obstructed, none of them came."
"Damn it, this demon did it deliberately."
"Hahaha." Suddenly, a Gu Immortal's laughter could be heard.
Everyone's gaze was attracted towards the source, they saw a person with a large head, small body, and crafty eyes. Someone immediately asked: "Friend from Hou clan, why are you laughing?"
Hou clan Gu Immortal Hou Zi Shua stopped laughing and said: "No need to be worried, everyone, I found that this formation has no space path ability, it is only confusing our senses and causing us to fail to detect the correct direction. I have a beast that can be used for this. Come out!"
Just as he finished speaking, a strange light shot out of Hou Zi Shua's immortal aperture and landed on his shoulder, turning into a monkey.
This monkey was small, covered with dense amount of silver fur, it had eight ears, four on the left and four on the right.
A Gu Immortal gasped in shock: "Could this be an immemorial desolate beast eight ears monkey?!"
Hou Zi Shua laughed loudly: "You are exactly right!"
Ear monkey was a strange and precious beast, it was an information path beast. Even ordinary mortal ear monkeys were scarce, an immortal ear monkey was even rarer.
When the ear monkey has six ears, it is a desolate beast. Seven ears meant ancient desolate beast. And eight ears meant an immemorial desolate beast!
Instantly, the Southern Border immortals' gazes towards Hou Zi Shua changed.
Hou Zi Shua only had rank seven cultivation, he neither had great battle strength nor was famous, who could have thought he was actually hiding an immemorial desolate beast!
He had really hidden it deeply, he might not have showed this trump card if not for this expedition to kill Fang Yuan.
"Monkey, monkey, where is the enemy?" Hou Zi Shua stroked the eight ears monkey's small head and softly commanded.
The eight ears monkey, an immemorial desolate beast, was actually so tame that it obediently listened to Hou Zi Shua's words. It immediately tilted to the side and listened for a moment, before screeching and pointing towards a direction.
Everyone followed its direction, immediately making continuous breakthroughs.
Suddenly, the immortal formation changed, the eight ears monkey immediately screamed loudly; it listened once again before pointing to another direction.
Fang Yuan frowned, if this went on, he would not be able to block these Southern Border Gu Immortals even if he repeatedly changed the formation.
"It is actually an eight ears monkey! Although Hou clan has always focused on raising and enslaving monkeys, I didn't think they had such a rare divine beast." Jun Shen Guang's killing intent rose.
Killing Fang Yuan was of great importance, Jun Shen Guang hesitated for a moment before deciding to take the risk. When the Southern Border Gu Immortals had entered the five regional mountain range, he had already quietly activated a killer move to conceal himself and enter.
The other Heavenly Court Gu Immortal, Wei Feng, was rapidly approaching as well.
"Beasts like eight ears monkey can perceive everything in the surroundings, when Central Continent invades Southern Border, most of our concealment methods will be useless. Killing it will be greatly helpful to my Heavenly Court's plan!"
A trace of killing intent appeared in Jun Shen Guang's eyes when he looked at the eight ears monkey.
The eight ears monkey immediately reacted, giving a sharp panicked screech.
"This beast is quite sensitive!" Jun Shen Guang quickly retracted his gaze and looked ahead: "Forget it, I will spare it for now. The urgent task is still Fang Yuan."
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" Hou Zi Shua comforted the eight ears monkey.
Right at this time, their vision suddenly cleared up, some Gu Immortals shouted: "We have broken out!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
The sovereign immortal aperture's entrance was wide open as it endlessly devoured the surging heaven and earth qi.
"This is Fang Yuan's immortal aperture?"
"We are close now!"
Their enemy was in front of them, but the Southern Border immortals were dazed, looking at each other, none dared to move forward.
Fang Yuan's terrifying might made these rank seven Gu Immortals feel uneasy.
"Hmph, the Southern Alliance might have been established, but can the overall situation be changed instantly? These people are still a disorderly band!" Jun Shen Guang sneered.
He continued to move ahead while concealing himself, he was trying to enter Fang Yuan's immortal aperture.
"Once I enter Fang Yuan's immortal aperture, he will be in a passive state and will have to hold back for fear of destroying his own resources."
"I don't even have to fight Fang Yuan, I just need to move around while destroying his resources, Fang Yuan definitely would not be able to bear it."
"Even more perfect is that Fang Yuan's grand tribulation has yet to form, if I disturb him from the side, he will make a mistake trying to deal with everything and I might really be able to kill him."
"But for more assurance, I should continue to hide inside his immortal aperture, and after Fang Yuan has fought the tribulation and Southern Border immortals for a while, I can make a fatal move. Hahah! I can't wait to see his expression when he realizes a powerful enemy has entered his immortal aperture."
Jun Shen Guang possessed extremely powerful concealment methods, this was one of his specialties.
Naturally, he knew there was also a possibility of him being seen through and discovered by Fang Yuan.
But if he did not grasp such a great opportunity, he would miss a chance at victory! Moreover, the probability of Fang Yuan seeing through his concealment was low.
What did not carry risk? Let alone when it would be a fierce battle.
Jun Shen Guang was a high and mighty rank eight Gu Immortal, but he had never lost the courage to stake his life. It was just that he had a clear understanding of when he should take the risk and when he should not.
"Now is the time to stake my life!" Jun Shen Guang's eyes shined with bright light as he activated his immortal killer move. He endured the backlash and entered the sovereign immortal aperture along with heaven and earth qi.
The Southern Border immortals had all been maintaining investigative killer moves but none of them detected Jun Shen Guang.

The immortal aperture's entrance was wide open, but the scale of the absorption of heaven and earth qi had already decreased by a lot.
"What is this? The enemy is in front of you and you are all hesitating?" A Tie clan Gu Immortal shouted at the Southern Border immortals.
Many became red with shame, they immediately came to their senses and someone yelled: "Let's charge in together!"
"Fang Yuan is still undergoing tribulation, we will win this battle! Whoever runs away will be the biggest disgrace of Southern Border's righteous path!"
"That's right, let's charge into his immortal aperture. Even if we die, we will make sure this demon has huge losses!"
"Hehehe, why so pessimistic? This demon has extorted so many things, his immortal aperture definitely has wondrous and rare resources, not to mention he also has a few secluded domains of heaven and earth!"
"My clan's Gu Immortal is still in his captivity, I wonder where he is putting the captives."
"I have already checked, there are no immortal formations around us." Hou Zi Shua assured while stroking the eight ears monkey's small head.
The Southern Border immortals immediately put their hearts at ease.
Fang Yuan's formation had made Southern Border's righteous path suffer huge losses. After this problem was removed, their morale soared, charging into the entrance of the immortal aperture one after the other.
Buzz buzz buzz!
But right at this moment, there was a change.
Ear-piercing buzzing sounds resounded throughout the battlefield, almost bursting the immortals' eardrums.
At the same time, an extremely dazzling light burst out; many Southern Border Gu Immortals were caught off-guard, their vision was covered in white as they temporarily lost sight.
The Southern Border immortals were shocked, they defended in panic while sending out countless killer moves towards the center of the light.
The person inside the light was not Fang Yuan, but Jun Shen Guang!
He was furious and shaken: "This killer move of mine is fright light, it will activate automatically when I face fatal danger and I don't need to control it. Fright light was activated when I tried to sneak into Fang Yuan's immortal aperture! What's going on?! Could there still be a trap?"
1
He was a rank eight Gu Immortal, he retreated rapidly while blocking the bombardment of the Southern Border immortals.
"Hehehe, you have great methods, but since you have arrived, why be in a hurry to leave?" Fang Yuan's leisurely laughter reached Jun Shen Guang's ears.
Jun Shen Guang's mind jolted, crying out: "Oh no!"
He immediately sensed a formless attraction force pulling him, trying to drag him into Fang Yuan's immortal aperture.
Immediately, Jun Shen Guang's doubt completely disappeared, he was certain that this was Fang Yuan's trap!
Jun Shen Guang roared and without regard for the backlash from the five regional mountain range, he crazily activated his immortal killer moves to resist the formless attraction force.
Jun Shen Guang used his main method to turn into a ray of strange light once again and tried to shoot out of the battlefield.
But although the killer move succeeded, the strange light's speed was so slow, to the point of being like a snail or a tortoise.
"Damn it, this is a time path method!" Jun Shen Guang immediately identified it because this time path method had slowed down his time by close to one hundred times.
Jun Shen Guang was extremely shocked: "I am a rank eight Gu Immortal with rank eight dao marks, why am I being slowed down so much? Fang Yuan's time path method is actually at rank eight level, this is completely beyond the previous information, how did he achieve this?"
"What happened?"
"I have been struck!"
"Time is extremely slow, it is like I am trapped in a swamp, quickly think of some way!"
Like Jun Shen Guang, the nearby Southern Border immortals were also in the same situation.
"Hehehe, you all came uninvited, I should naturally pay such enthusiasm a hundredfold in return." Fang Yuan descended on the battlefield.
They saw a Gu Immortal wearing a loose white robe, with black hair fluttering in the wind, his face was handsome to the point of being beautiful. A pair of deep abyss-like eyes with a gaze filled with coldness and terrifying killing intent.
The Gu Immortals here were all too familiar with this appearance, such that their bodies started shaking and their faces paled in fright.
Someone among the Gu Immortals said with a trembling voice: "Fang Yuan!"
Fang Yuan ignored these rank seven Gu Immortals and looked at Jun Shen Guang.
Jun Shen Guang's face was red as he used all his strength to get rid of the time path restraints. He had plenty of methods and they were showing good effects under his efforts, the time path restraints on him were decreasing and his speed was subsequently increasing.
Fang Yuan smiled, slowly extending his left arm.
His pristine jade-like hand spread open elegantly, like the blossoming of a white lotus.
Soul path aura surged out and instantly shrunk fiercely, condensing into an illusory figure in Fang Yuan's left palm.
This illusory figure looked like the real Luo Po Valley, but shrunk by countless times.
Luo Po Valley's illusory figure leisurely rotated while Fang Yuan's left hand began to slowly close.
Jun Shen Guang's mind rang madly with warning signals, an unprecedented sense of danger had shrouded his whole body and mind. His eyes opened wide, almost about to rip open from the nervousness.
"What is this killer move?! Terrifying, too terrifying! My feeling is not wrong, I will not survive if I get hit by this move! Escape, I must escape!!"
Jun Shen Guang's face turned completely red, his thin brows trembled madly as his previous grace completely disappeared.
Immortal killer move — Sun Deity's Radiance.
With a shout, he directly used his strongest method. His whole body turned into a lump of light, endless light erupted, it was like a small sun had appeared in the battlefield!
The scalding white light had inexhaustible might, wherever it went, Fang Yuan's time path methods crumbled apart.
The Southern Border immortals had just freed themselves when they were engulfed by the endless glaring sunlight.
The imitation regional wall that spread over every mountain dissipated completely under the illumination of the powerful sunlight. The whole five regional mountain range began to shake, especially the center of the battlefield where large amounts of mountain rocks began to crumble and fall.
The aftereffects of sun deity's radiance even affected other battlefields.
Southern Border's groups with rank eights, who were fighting with immemorial year beasts, were heavily disturbed by this.
"This is a rank eight Gu Immortal of Central Continent?"
"Hmph, this is probably a person of Heavenly Court!"
The light dissipated, the scene at the central battlefield became extremely clear. Suddenly, a Gu Immortal cried out in shock.
"Wait, that immortal aperture… that is my clansman's immortal aperture!"
"What? It is not Fang Yuan's immortal aperture?!" Everyone was terrified.
"This is a trap!" Jun Shen Guang shouted as he forcibly concentrated and retreated madly.
"Escaping?" Fang Yuan suddenly appeared above Jun Shen Guang.
Jun Shen Guang's heart shook fiercely as he stared at Fang Yuan rigidly with narrowed eyes. In that instant, he suddenly realized that rather than saying Fang Yuan was ambushing Southern Border Gu Immortals, it was more accurate to say he was specially ambushing Heavenly Court's members like himself!
"So your true target was me!"
"Hmph, you have already exposed that move, I am now already on guard. Your trap has also collapsed, can you still restrain me?"
"A mere rank seven… I am a rank eight Gu Immortal! I also have Wei Feng rushing here now."
"Unless this group of Southern Border Gu Immortals teamed up with you, do you think you can kill me?"
Jun Shen Guang breathed heavily, countless rays of light flowed around him like liquid, protecting him heavily.
Sure enough, the Southern Border immortals attacked at the next moment.
Their target was Fang Yuan!
Wu Yong took the lead, while Chi Qu You and Shang Wu Jie followed closely behind. They attacked Fang Yuan, disregarding the attacks of the immemorial year beasts. Following them, large numbers of Southern Border Gu Immortal experts used their main techniques.
Jun Shen Guang laughed heartily: "Fang Yuan, you demon, you have brought your own doom by committing so many sins! You still want to kill me? Your death is certain today!"
"Is that so?" In the brink of danger, Fang Yuan was still calm, the corners of his lips even rose slightly to reveal a mocking smile.
Boom!
At the next moment, his rank seven aura suddenly changed. An incomparable aura soared to the skies and shot in all directions.
Everyone at the scene was greatly shocked.
"What?!"
"Rank eight aura!"
"Impossible!!"
Fang Yuan's body paused slightly before he lightly pointed his finger.
Immortal killer move — Spring Scissors!
Next, he folded his hands, his sleeves fluttered and formed a fan.
Immortal killer move — Summer Fan!
"This is?!" Chi Qu You and Shang Wu Jie were dumbstruck at this scene.
"This is Lady Xia Cha's…" Several of Xia clan's rank seven Gu Immortals cried out, an extremely bad feeling shrouded everyone's hearts.
Rumble!
Spring scissors attacked Jun Shen Guang, immediately suppressing him, while summer fan which was in Fang Yuan's hand waved rapidly, blocking all killer moves of the Southern Border immortals.
At this moment, Fang Yuan's demonic aura surged as he fought the whole group alone, it was a grand spectacle!

Chapter 1625: Luo Po Seal

Shock!
All the Gu Immortals present at the scene felt shocked at seeing Fang Yuan fight against everyone.
They had come to obstruct and disturb Fang Yuan from passing his tribulation, to prevent him from becoming rank eight.
But none of them had thought that when they saw him, he was already rank eight.
This unexpected result caught all of them off guard.
"When did he advance to rank eight?!" Chi Qu You's eyes were wide open in disbelief.
"It is not strange for him to be able to use spring scissors and summer fan, the important thing is that these killer moves have been amplified by time path dao marks and are able to obstruct all the attacks. Even if Fang Yuan advanced to rank eight, how could he have gained so many time path dao marks in such a short period of time? I think he has likely possessed Xia Cha's body and used familiar face to deceive us and make us think he has already passed the tribulation." Shang Wu Jie forced himself to calm down and analyzed.
"No! First supreme elder's Spring and Summer are both rank eight Immortal Gu and can only be activated by rank eight immortal essence." Xia clan's second supreme elder Xia Zhao shouted.
"Then…" Shang Wu Jie immediately hesitated.
Immortal essence contained the Gu Immortal's will and had to belong to themselves, if they died, their heavenly spirit or land spirit could use their immortal essence.
The only exception was Immortal Gu Houses as immortal essence from any source could be used in them. But the killer moves Fang Yuan used were clearly not Immortal Gu Houses.
If Fang Yuan was only rank seven with red date immortal essence, he would not be able to activate rank eight Immortal Gu Spring and Summer, even if he possessed Xia Cha's body and obtained her immortal essence.
"No use in thinking much, we will know after killing Fang Yuan." Wu Yong called out.
He flew forward, the immemorial year beast behind him collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.
At this crucial moment, Wu Yong displayed powerful battle strength, he first killed Fang Yuan's immemorial year beast and then used all his strength to attack Fang Yuan.
"Fang Yuan!" Wu Yong's gaze was cold as his battle intent surged wildly, "Even if you have truly advanced to rank eight, you won't escape your doom today. This five regional mountain range, which you carefully chose, will be your graveyard!"
Just as he finished speaking, the whole mountain range began to tremor violently.
The ground quaked, the mountains shook, and debris flew everywhere.
"What's happening?" The immortals were stunned.
Wu Yong's voice traveled to everyone's ears: "Don't panic, this is a backup plan I arranged, it can change the alignment of the earth vein under the five regional mountain range and destroy the mountain range!"
The immortals were even more puzzled.
So what if the earth vein's alignment changed?
But soon, they had a pleasant surprise, as the mountain range gradually crumbled, the five colored lights unique to the five regional mountain range were also rapidly dissipating.
"This?!" Even Jun Shen Guang was astonished.
"Amazing. Without these shackles, our battle strength will recover and we will no longer be restrained!" Southern Border's Gu Immortals were rejoicing.
"Wu Yong is indeed different from Wu Du Xiu, he still had another card up his sleeve!" Shang Wu Jie's eyes flickered with sharp lights.
"How can Wu clan be so familiar with five regional mountain range? There cannot be this level of effect just by changing the alignment of the earth vein. They also would have to know the arrangements made by Tao Zhu back then!" Chi Qu You's thoughts were fluctuating rapidly.
The large formation, set up by Wu clan's and Qiao clan's Gu Immortals in the periphery of the five regional mountain range, was constantly rumbling, it was the source of the change in the entire five regional mountain range.
Qiao Si Liu, Wu Yu Bo and some others were in charge of this formation.
Wu Yu Bo chuckled coldly while looking towards the battlefield: "This demon Fang Yuan wants to rely on the five regional mountain range, now that we have destroyed his territorial advantage, how will he defend against our Southern Border righteous paths' attacks?"
Qiao Si Liu was silent, her expression was slightly complicated.
She had once been quite close with 'Wu Yi Hai' and had even believed she and he would get married. But the outcome was shocking beyond her imagination. Wu Yi Hai was actually Fang Yuan in disguise. She felt a chill every time she thought of how close she had been with a great demon like Fang Yuan.
She did not have any feelings left for Fang Yuan, her complicated emotions were because of the five regional mountain range.
Everyone thought Tao Zhu's research of the regional walls did not succeed. But that was not quite true.
Qiao clan had by chance obtained clues to Tao Zhu's inheritance and had been secretly exploring the clues to excavating the inheritance.
But they had not expected Wu Yong to know of this information, and under his pressure, Qiao clan had to offer their findings which were then used now.
It was because of such clues that Wu Yong had a deep understanding of the five regional mountain range and could make the lights of the five regions disappear by changing the earth vein. If it were any other who tried to change the earth vein without knowledge, unless they were extremely lucky, the lights would still exist for the most part.
"Oh! This is a rank eight Gu Immortal's inheritance, but it is all used up here, and with the destruction of the five regional mountain range, there is no hope in exploring the inheritance anymore." Qiao Si Liu sighed.
She seemed to have had many thoughts, but a very short time had passed.
Jun Shen Guang's fright light activated as he was chased by Fang Yuan, the Southern Border immortals attacked Fang Yuan but their attacks were blocked by Fang Yuan who revealed rank eight cultivation, Southern Border immortals conversed rapidly, while Wu Yong made the first move, the five regional mountain range crumbled, removing Fang Yuan's terrain advantage.
All these changes happened in an instant.
Fang Yuan endured the Southern Border immortals' attacks while still chasing after Jun Shen Guang even when Wu Yong was nearing him.
Jun Shen Guang had used his trump card, his aura had already fallen to an extreme point. His sun deity's radiance killer move was extremely powerful, but it not only expended a huge amount of white litchi immortal essence, it also permanently decreased his light path dao marks. It was a move that dealt damage to the enemy as well as to himself. Moreover, he had activated it inside the five regional mountain range and had already suffered a powerful backlash. Although he managed to escape for the moment, he was seriously injured.
But now, the lights of the five regions were rapidly weakening, Jun Shen Guang felt like a huge load was removed from his back, he felt more at ease in his movements as his greatest concern was removed.
Looking at Wu Yong rushing towards Fang Yuan, a thought appeared in Jun Shen Guang's mind: "Should I cooperate with the Southern Border Gu Immortals to kill Fang Yuan?"
This thought had just emerged when it was immediately rejected by Jun Shen Guang.
"Continue to escape!"
The current situation was extremely complex, he was not a Southern Border Gu Immortal. More importantly, Fang Yuan was chasing him, if he managed to escape, it would mean Fang Yuan's failure.
Jun Shen Guang prioritizing his escape was a very wise move.
Fang Yuan was still chasing him closely, disregarding Wu Yong.
At this time, there was another change.
A powerful aura suddenly emerged. Enormous pillars in five colors soared to the skies, a loud voice reverberated throughout the five regional mountain range: "Junior, you did well, you actually passed my final test of destroying the five regional mountain range. Now, my five regions inheritance is yours! Cultivate properly and you can move unrestrained and unhindered over the world in the future, don't let down my name."
In the middle of the five colored light pillars, a smoke-like will condensed into the vivid appearance of a Gu Immortal.
Many gazes were inevitably attracted towards this. Someone recognized this appearance: "This looks like old man Tao Zhu."
"This can't be, right?" At the periphery of the mountain range, Qiao Si Liu heard the voice from within the pillars and felt strange: "Tao Zhu's final test was to destroy the five regional mountain range? This accidental action actually activated Tao Zhu's inheritance!"
Tao Zhu's will heard someone calling him old man and immediately felt unhappy, speaking arrogantly: "What old man, since you are inheriting my inheritance, how could you be so disrespectful?"
Rumble!
Wind blew rapidly, heaven and earth roared.
Replying to him was Wu Yong's rank eight killer move, but it was targeted towards Fang Yuan and not him.
Fang Yuan's immortal robe shook and ripples appeared on it, it was the immortal killer move reverse flow protection seal!
This move reflected the attack, Wu Yong continued to close in while enduring the reflected attack.
Fang Yuan's speed was immediately restrained.
The move Wu Yong used had an extremely wide range, so reverse flow protection seal only reflected back a portion that had struck Fang Yuan. Fang Yuan continued to fly while reflecting the attacks back, although he was completely safe, his speed was greatly reduced.
Fang Yuan had already used reverse flow protection seal many times, how could Wu Yong not have prepared specific restricting methods?
"What!" Tao Zhu's will was stunned, he quickly looked around and saw several rank eight Gu Immortals fighting, there were also many rank seven experts present on the scene. He almost broke down from the shock!
"What, what's going on?" This was completely different from his original expectation, there was no respectful junior in front of him, there were only vicious and fierce Gu Immortals!
"Ignore him, he is just a dead man."
"The inheritance is here, we can take it after the battle!"
"The urgent thing now is to kill Fang Yuan! Not to mention Tao Zhu's inheritance, I would even give up a Gu Venerable's true inheritance to kill Fang Yuan!!"
The immortals shouted in fury, their attention once again focusing on Fang Yuan's body.
Tao Zhu's will: "…."
He was stupefied, this was completely out of his expectations.
Shortly afterwards, he shook as he reacted: "Who in the world is that person being chased by so many Gu Immortals? To kill him, they can even give up a Gu Venerable's true inheritance?"
Tao Zhu's will looked towards Fang Yuan but did not recognize him.
"Who is this person? Someone who became a Gu Immortal after my main body's death?"
Right at this time, Fang Yuan had finally caught up to Jun Shen Guang.
Jun Shen Guang's whole body was soaked in sweat from the nervousness, intense warning signals caused his heart to beat like a drum!
He escaped with all his strength while cursing internally: "Wu Yong, you bastard! What killer move did you use, even trapping me?"
Wu Yong's killer move had an extremely wide range, even Jun Shen Guang received its 'care'. Wu Yong's exquisite method was not so easily broken, Jun Shen Guang's strength fell sharply, his speed fell even more than Fang Yuan's.
"It's over." Fang Yuan mumbled lightly as he attacked with no change in his expression, calm like an ancient well.
The illusory figure of Luo Po Valley in his palm was slowly rotating. Suddenly, Fang Yuan's fingers clenched it tightly.
A gray light shot out from the gap between the fingers.
Fang Yuan then opened his palm and slapped towards the distant Jun Shen Guang.
COMMENT
The light shot out with extreme speed, Jun Shen Guang dodged it frantically like a headless housefly.
Wu Yong, who was chasing from behind, had a sinister look in his eyes.
A wild wind suddenly blew around Jun Shen Guang, obstructing him heavily.
"Wu Yong, I curse your grandmother!" Jun Shen Guang did not even have time to complete his curse when Fang Yuan's gray light struck him.
In an instant, his flight came to an abrupt stop. His physical body had no injuries, but his soul was heavily injured to the point it was almost extinguished!
Immortal killer move — Luo Po Seal!
While Jun Shen Guang was in a daze, an Immortal Gu House suddenly appeared beside Fang Yuan. Inside the Immortal Gu House, Ying Wu Xie attacked Jun Shen Guang with a killer move he had prepared for a while.
Immortal killer move — Lead Soul Into Dream!
Jun Shen Guang could not react, instantly falling into a dream realm, unable to extricate himself.
The Immortal Gu House was shadowy and faint, it immediately absorbed Jun Shen Guang and flew to Fang Yuan's side.
Wu Yong paled from fright!
He had disturbed Jun Shen Guang because he wanted to test the power of Fang Yuan's move. After all, Jun Shen Guang was not a Southern Border Gu Immortal, why not make use of him once?
But Wu Yong had never expected Fang Yuan to capture Jun Shen Guang in one move!
Previously, Fang Yuan had captured the Southern Border immortals by trapping them in a meticulously laid out time path formation. But now, he captured Jun Shen Guang with just a few methods!
Such an increase in battle strength was simply horrifying.
"What killer move is that, it feels like it only targets the Gu Immortal's soul? It has such terrifying might, I must defend against it!"
"There is also the Immortal Gu House! What is that Immortal Gu House, it almost cannot be detected when it is concealed!"
Southern Border's rank eights rushed over with surging momentum.
But when they witnessed Fang Yuan capturing Jun Shen Guang, they were shocked and bewildered as their battle intent fell sharply.

Chapter 1626: Wu Yong's Loss
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Fang Yuan's actions shocked Tao Zhu immensely!
Where did this soul path Gu Immortal come from? He severely injured a rank eight Gu Immortal with just one attack! Such imposing demonic might, even Spectral Soul was merely at this level when he was young.
"I didn't expect this young man, who looks so delicate, to be so vicious and have such peerless methods. He must have committed many sins, or else why would Southern Border's righteous path attack him on such a scale?"
Noticing this, Tao Zhu's will became frightened.
For the first time, he felt that the pillars of light around him were so glaring.
"My main body had made this arrangement for the convenience of the inheritor. Oh, who could have expected this situation to happen at the moment the inheritance activated."
"What did I do to deserve this? Was it easy for my main body to make such a painstaking arrangement?"
Tao Zhu's will immediately felt lonely and helpless. In this situation, let alone him, a mere will, even his main body would have to stay away from this conflict.
The implications were too deep and troublesome, he could not rashly get involved!
Tao Zhu's will was frightened, dejectedly curling inside the pillars while mumbling: "Don't look at me, don't look at me…"
1
Why would the Gu Immortals have the time or mood to look at him?
Fang Yuan had captured the rank eight Gu Immortal Jun Shen Guang in front of everyone, such terrifying battle strength made the rank seven Gu Immortals have parched mouths, and even the rank eights were dazed.
"How can we defeat such a powerful enemy?"
"If I stake my life and something unexpected happens, what will happen to the clan? Other rank eights will keep their lives while I will be wasting mine for them."
When Fang Yuan was rank seven and could fight rank eight with reverse flow protection seal, Southern Border's rank eight Gu Immortals could accept this level of battle strength.
But it was completely different now!
Fang Yuan was not only a rank eight Gu Immortal, he also possessed a mysterious and powerful method that seemed to be a soul path method. And it made a great combination with lead soul into dream.
Jun Shen Guang's example was right in front of them, the Southern Border rank eight Gu Immortals could also very well fall to Fang Yuan's vicious methods!
At the crucial moment, the deep-seated problem for Southern Border's righteous path emerged again. They were forces who had prioritized themselves for too long, a heavy wariness against each other was already ingrained deep in their bones, even if they realized the necessity of an alliance, faced with a choice at this time, these rank eight Gu Immortals all felt hesitation.
These Southern Border rank eight Gu Immortals hesitated, but Fang Yuan had no hesitation.
He laughed loudly as he turned around and charged towards Wu Yong.
"Wu Yong! What did you say earlier? This is my graveyard? Hahaha! I think it is the opposite, this is your graveyard. Come, come, let's settle the score once and for all!"
Fang Yuan gave a loud shout, his voice resounding throughout the five regional mountain range like thunder.
His white robe and hair fluttered in the wind, his demonic aura and surging killing intent shocked the immortals.
3
Chi Qu You, Shang Wu Jie and other rank eight Gu Immortals looked at Fang Yuan targeting Wu Yong, feeling complicated. They were tense but also could not help feeling a slight relief as all kinds of thoughts lingered in their minds.
Fang Yuan might be powerful but he was only one man in the end. Moreover, Chi Qu You had transacted with Fang Yuan before.
In the current Southern Alliance, the alliance leader's position was empty and Wu Yong was undoubtedly the number one choice for it. If he became the alliance leader, who knew how he would treat the other clans.
Southern Border had always been divided, the biggest problem in working together were the mental hurdles and self-interest of the respective Gu Immortals.
When two tigers fought, one was definitely going to be injured.
Whether the injured one was Fang Yuan or Wu Yong, it was beneficial to other clans.
Moreover, it could not be said we had not come to aid, aren't we being hindered by immemorial year beasts?
"Useless bunch!" Wu Yong inwardly cursed when he saw no one coming to his aid.
But he did not fear Fang Yuan, instead his courage and battle intent were stirred!
"Let me see what method you used to capture a rank eight Gu Immortal!" Wu Yong took out Clear Jade Dripping Wind Tiny Bamboo Building and controlled this Immortal Gu House to charge straight at Fang Yuan.
Although Fang Yuan had a mysterious Immortal Gu House, it absolutely would not be able to survive a collision with Clear Jade Dripping Wind Tiny Bamboo Building, his eyes flashed with a sinister light as he suddenly changed his direction and flew down.
Clear Jade Dripping Wind Tiny Bamboo Building's momentum was too fierce and fast as it missed its target.
"Wu Yong, you are safe with the Immortal Gu House to protect you. In that case, how about I kill these rank seven immortals, can you save them? Hahaha!" Fang Yuan laughed madly.
"Damn it!" Wu Yong quickly changed the direction of Clear Jade Dripping Wind Tiny Bamboo Building and chased after Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan continued: "Wu Yong, you have such a huge ambition, you established the Southern Border alliance to become its leader, right? Let's see if you will still have the face left to become the alliance leader after I kill these people!"
Fang Yuan had not actually made any real attacks at Wu Yong, but his words were like blades that stabbed deeply in Wu Yong's heart.
Wu Yong had led the Southern Border immortals to besiege and kill Fang Yuan, on one hand, it was because he had deep hatred towards Fang Yuan, on the other hand, it was to accumulate reputation to pave the road to the position of alliance leader.
But if he let Fang Yuan kill these rank seven Gu Immortals while he remained safe inside Clear Jade Dripping Wind Tiny Bamboo Building without being able to do anything to Fang Yuan, his reputation was sure to take a huge hit and he would be even further from the position of alliance leader.
Wu Yong was anxious and furious, almost pacing around in Clear Jade Dripping Wind Tiny Bamboo Building. Although Clear Jade Dripping Wind Tiny Bamboo Building was extremely fast and was rapidly catching up to Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan had already reached those rank seven Gu Immortals.
"Persevere!"
"Am I going to die?"
"Not necessarily! There are many Gu Immortals here, we still have hope of survival!"
Fang Yuan had yet to attack but these rank seven Gu Immortals' morale had already dissipated, they did not have any thought of counterattacking and were only thinking of how to preserve their lives.
The scene of Fang Yuan capturing a Central Continent rank eight Gu Immortal was truly horrifying.
"Go die! Hmm?" Fang Yuan's shout suddenly stopped.
At the moment of danger, a dense yellowish-brown radiance suddenly appeared under the Southern Border immortals and firmly protected them.
This was a rank eight defensive killer move!
"Fang Yuan, why commit more murders? You kill me, I kill you, this cycle is too pitiful and miserable. You are an outstanding person of this era, why can't you see through this?"
Lu Wei Yin's figure appeared not far away.
"Hmph! You again!" Fang Yuan gazed fiercely at Lu Wei Yin.
Boom!
At the next moment, Clear Jade Dripping Wind Tiny Bamboo Building flew over like a meteor and carried with it Wu Yong's intense hatred and anger, heavily collided with Fang Yuan's back.
Immortal killer move — Reverse Flow Protection Seal!
Fang Yuan was completely safe, the attack was reflected back to Clear Jade Dripping Wind Tiny Bamboo Building.
But the enormous collision force sent Fang Yuan flying like a cannonball.
Wu Yong was suddenly at ease, he had sent Fang Yuan away from these rank seven Gu Immortals and it would be even more difficult for him to attack these people.
But soon, Lu Wei Yin's voice reached him: "Not good! This is Fang Yuan's plan, he is escaping!"
Wu Yong's expression immediately turned ashen as he helplessly looked at Fang Yuan smoothly charging into that immortal aperture.
The moment he entered, the immortal aperture's entrance loudly closed.
"Fang Yuan is too crafty, since he put an ambush here, how could he not have arranged an escape route? He entered the immortal aperture because he must have a way to escape, like Fixed Immortal Travel!"
Veins popped up on Wu Yong's forehead, he felt extremely stifled.
Immortal apertures had always been easy to defend and hard to attack, especially an immortal aperture that had its entrance closed. Naturally, Southern Border's righteous path group could break into this blessed land. But Fang Yuan already had enough time to escape!
Wu Yong had gathered such a large team but still failed, not only was he unable to harm a single hair of Fang Yuan, a Central Continent rank eight Gu Immortal was captured right in front of everyone!
This was simply a kick to Wu Yong's face.
"What is more insufferable is this guy…" Wu Yong's dark gaze stared at Lu Wei Yin.
He suddenly spoke: "Lu Wei Yin, why didn't you stop him?"
Lu Wei Yin quickly greeted as he said slowly: "I am ashamed! I already used all my strength to protect these Southern Border friends, I truly did not have strength left to obstruct him."
Lu Wei Yin was instantly swarmed with countless expressions of gratitude from the Southern Border Gu Immortals.
Wu Yong breathed heavily in anger, his fists were tightly clenched but he could do nothing to Lu Wei Yin.
Lu Wei Yin had a terrifying background of being Paradise Earth's inheritor and was the competitor who possessed the greatest threat to Wu Yong's dream of taking the alliance leader position.
Wu Yong had led the immortals to besiege Fang Yuan but had left Lu Wei Yin behind so he could more easily accumulate prestige.
But the result was: Fang Yuan escaped while Wu Yong gained nothing, his reputation suffered while Lu Wei Yin was the complete opposite!
Wu Yong's gaze shined sharply as if lightning sparks were flashing inside.
After a while, he sighed and let his body relax, the anger on his face completely disappeared while his battle intent soared inwardly. A faint smile appeared on his lips as he clapped, thinking: "Fang Yuan, Lu Wei Yin, you two are truly something! I lost this round entirely because of you two…"

Chapter 1627: Zi Wei's Lingering Fear
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"How could this be? How could this be…" When information of the Southern Border battle reached her, Fairy Zi Wei kept on mumbling in perplexity.
The vast and bright hall was now filled with doubts.
Fang Yuan had not only passed the tribulation, becoming rank eight, he had even laid a trap in the five regional mountain range and captured Heavenly Court Gu Immortal Jun Shen Guang!
Fairy Zi Wei already knew of the Southern Border Gu Immortals being captured by Fang Yuan, but she had never imagined the same fate would befall her Heavenly Court so quickly.
A Heavenly Court Gu Immortal was actually captured alive!
How long has it been since this happened?
The instant she learned of this news, Fairy Zi Wei had subconsciously thought of the impressive battle achievements of multiple Demon Venerables.
Her brows showed her worry and there was even nervousness.
Despite her estimating Fang Yuan highly, his growth had still greatly surpassed her expectations.
"Ever since Fang Yuan gained reverse flow protection seal, he has been huge trouble. Now that he has become rank eight, along with Xia Cha's methods, regardless of using the terrain advantage in the five regional mountain range to weaken his enemies, he indeed possesses a threat to Heavenly Court Gu Immortals!"
Fairy Zi Wei heaved a deep sigh.
She had already expected such a day. So she had tried all ways to eliminate this danger beforehand, but who could have expected Fang Yuan's progress to be so fast!
"Fang Yuan's progress is getting faster and faster, it seems like the quantitative change is becoming a qualitative change. But how in the world did he become a rank eight without any commotion?"
Fairy Zi Wei did not understand.
She had always thought Fang Yuan's extremely fast cultivation progress was because he had used time path methods to quicken his immortal aperture's rate of time.
But looking back over it, Fairy Zi Wei suddenly realized Fang Yuan also had a peerless method that could raise his cultivation level!
"Then… what is this method?"
Fairy Zi Wei did not continue deducing, instead she left the hall and arrived at Spectral Soul's confinement area.
The large formation rumbled into motion, after a long while, Fairy Zi Wei returned to her hall with a shaken expression.
"Sovereign immortal fetus Gu! Sovereign immortal aperture… so it was like this!" Fairy Zi Wei muttered to herself, she was dazed and her soul was shaken.
Spectral Soul's ambition shocked her.
What made her even more fearful was that sovereign immortal fetus Gu had been refined and obtained by Fang Yuan!
An intense bitterness emerged in her heart.
Spectral Soul had really hidden it too deeply!
If not for Fang Yuan revealing clues this time which made Fairy Zi Wei doubtful and use a specialized soul search, she would still have been in the dark.
"No wonder Fang Yuan's cultivation speed is so fast! This time, he should have annexed many Southern Border Gu Immortals' immortal apertures to skip tribulations and become a rank eight."
"He could activate Xia Cha's killer moves and confront other rank eights head on, this means he has annexed Xia Cha's immortal aperture. Only then would he have enough time path dao marks to amplify Xia Cha's killer moves."
"Immortal apertures can only swallow smaller immortal apertures, but the sovereign immortal aperture is special. But devouring Xia Cha's rank eight grotto-heaven would require time path great grandmaster attainment, how could Fang Yuan have it?"
"Wait!"
Suddenly, Fairy Zi Wei's expression became extremely unsightly.
All kinds of clues merged in her mind and removed her previous bewilderment.
"Fang Yuan has dream path methods and can raise his attainment level through dream realms!"
"No wonder he entered Southern Border and plundered dream realms. His time path great grandmaster attainment was definitely gained from dream realms."
"Gasp…"
Thinking of this, even Fairy Zi Wei, who held a high status and was very experienced, could not help taking in a cold breath.
Fang Yuan had the sovereign immortal aperture and could devour apertures to skip calamities and tribulations.
And the biggest obstacle in devouring apertures was the attainment level of the respective paths.
It was extremely difficult to raise attainment level and often required hundreds of years. But Fang Yuan could quickly raise his attainment level through dream realms.
Like this, he could create a beneficial cycle, his cultivation speed could rise to a level where it could raise a terrifying wave even in the entire history of human cultivation.
"No, more accurately, what is terrifying is Spectral Soul. Fang Yuan was only a chess piece of heaven's will to destroy Spectral Soul's heaven defying plan, it was just that he escaped heaven's will's control in the end."
Fairy Zi Wei felt a chill.
Heavenly Court had already confined Spectral Soul and Fairy Zi Wei would also frequently torture and soul search to extract important information from Spectral Soul.
But despite this, Fairy Zi Wei was feeling deep lingering fear.
If Spectral Soul had truly succeeded, he would have great grandmaster attainment level in all paths. With his extreme killing nature, he could continue devouring apertures and along with Shadow Sect and Zombie Alliance's resources, he could totally go straight to rank eight!
At this level, Spectral Soul would have pseudo-venerable battle strength.
More importantly, when the five regions chaotic war starts and dream realms appear everywhere, Spectral Soul might even be able to progress further. His huge ambition could be felt just by looking at lead soul into dream! He had already made countless preparations in this aspect. If he truly reached this step, his dominance would be too large. Even the Great Dream seed Feng Jin Huang might have no chance to mature.
"Fortunately, he was not able to make the breakthrough during the most important juncture. Currently, Fang Yuan is taking his place in this plan, so it is more accurate to say that he did not succeed but he did not completely fail either."
Fairy Zi Wei frowned deeply when she thought of Fang Yuan.
"Fang Yuan gave up on those Southern Border Gu Immortals and instead prioritized capturing Jun Shen Guang. His action is similar to me soul searching Spectral Soul, he wants to get the location of Heavenly Court from Jun Shen Guang's soul."
"Oh no… the River of Time!"
The tumultuous river was always flowing.
It was so vast that its ends could not be seen.
From inside an Immortal Gu House, Fang Yuan quietly looked at the ebb and flow of the river and its countless dazzling ripples.
The River of Time!
After entering the immortal aperture and gaining some free time, Fang Yuan used an immortal killer move made with Fixed Immortal Travel to escape the battleground.
Not long later, he entered the River of Time.
Right now, Jun Shen Guang's soul was facing constant soul searching inside his sovereign immortal aperture.
Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated.
Fang Yuan urgently needed to know what arrangements Heavenly Court had made in the River of Time!
"I laid an ambush in the five regional mountain range and fought a large battle, although I captured Jun Shen Guang, I revealed too much information."
Fang Yuan wanted to catch Heavenly Court off guard and not give them enough time to respond, so he directly entered the River of Time in this short time period.
"This Lu Wei Yin is not simple. His action was too timely, saving those Southern Border rank sevens at the most critical time. He was probably hiding nearby all along."
"Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable had a merciful and compassionate nature, he restored peace to the chaotic world and repaired the damage done by Spectral Soul in all five regions. In the five regions, and especially Southern Border, among the ten venerables, his reputation is the highest."
"As his current inheritor, Lu Wei Yin has inherited this reputation as well. This person is going against me, but his true goal does not look to be so simple and is hidden in a layer of fog."
"Unfortunately, there is no such person in the memories of my previous life!"
The more he thought, the more Fang Yuan felt his five hundred years of memories were not reliable.
Naturally, there was also the possibility that the butterfly effect of his rebirth had spread until it involved Lu Wei Yin.
Fang Yuan slightly shook his head, forgetting about Lu Wei Yin for the moment, and thought of Tao Zhu's inheritance.
He felt a huge regret.
Tao Zhu's true inheritance was definitely related to the five regions' regional walls.
The five regions' regional walls would disappear without a trace in the future and the five regions would merge into one, Tao Zhu's research in crossing the regional walls would look like a joke.
But think about it carefully.
Tao Zhu could construct the five regional mountain range, couldn't this method of imitating the regional walls be used to defend oneself?
Especially for Fang Yuan, fighting in regional walls was extremely advantageous.
"It is a pity, a true pity. The situation did not allow me to take this inheritance, I had missed this true inheritance of Tao Zhu by a hairsbreadth."
Fang Yuan's wisdom path attainment was not low, he had a strong premonition that missing this chance to obtain Tao Zhu's inheritance was a severe loss to him.

Chapter 1628: Present and Past Pavilion, Four Xunzi
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Tao Zhu's true inheritance…"
If this was months ago, Fang Yuan might be able to use the Southern Border Gu Immortals to exchange for this inheritance.
But now, the Southern Border captives that he had were already annexed, he had already killed the hostages.
These Southern Border Gu Immortals were all rank seven Gu Immortal experts, while Xia Cha had rank eight cultivation level. The sovereign immortal aperture annexed them as well as the immortal aperture blessed lands in City Well, Fang Yuan's cultivation level rose rapidly, he went from rank seven to rank eight, skipping the final rank seven grand tribulation.
Fang Yuan originally planned to continue capturing Southern Border Gu Immortals in the five regional mountain range before extorting them. But because of Lu Wei Yin, Fang Yuan's plan was disrupted.
Not only did his cultivation level rise, because the sovereign immortal aperture could annex his enemies perfectly, Fang Yuan's dao marks also rose in huge numbers!
Using perceivable dao Immortal Gu to check them, Fang Yuan's current dao mark accumulation was extremely deep.
He originally had very little time path dao marks, almost at the bottom, but it had emerged to become his number one path, having seventy-three thousand dao marks. Almost all of it was Xia Cha's contribution, he had truly 'become wealthy from one single robbery'.
With so many time path dao marks, Fang Yuan's time path killer moves could be amplified by seventy-four times. Along with the rank eight Gu Spring and Summer, his battle strength was extremely high now. Within the five regional mountain range, he managed to block the attacks of many Gu Immortals at once.
Of course, he had made use of the territorial advantage of the five regional walls' trait, the Southern Border Gu Immortals could not work together well and conflicted with each other.
The second was water path dao marks, reaching sixty thousand.
He had a lot of water path accumulations, Fang Yuan had killed lone immortals Zhou Li, Wu Yi Hai, You Chan, and others, while many of the Eastern Sea lone immortals in City Well were also water path cultivators.
Third was transformation path, having fifty thousand. It was originally first place, but had fallen to third place now.
Fourth was soul path at thirty thousand. The immortal aperture's own dao marks, as well as the yellow spring ghost martial statue earthly calamity and green lightning divine martial statue heavenly tribulation, along with other accumulations, added up to twenty-nine thousand. The remaining hundreds were obtained from Fang Yuan's soul cultivation. According to Spectral Soul's true inheritance, after million man soul, ten million man soul, hundred million man soul, and desolate soul… after reaching desolate soul, there would be a thousand dao marks on the soul.
Next were ice and snow path, rule path, metal path, wood path, fire path, wind path, and other common paths, they had about twenty thousand.
After that were dark path, light path, strength path, qi path, luck path, sound path, blood light, and others, being around ten thousand.
And finally, food path, phantom path, and others were in the thousands and hundreds category.
Next, the dream realms.
Fang Yuan had already explored all of his dream realms in these few months, all of his different paths had grown to certain extents.
The highest was still refinement path at quasi-supreme grandmaster attainment level!
Second were theft path and time path at great grandmaster level.
Third were blood path, strength path, star path, wisdom path, and others, they were all at grandmaster level. Rule path and soul path also entered this category.
The paths below that will not be explained in detail.
Unlike dao marks, attainment level was harder to raise as it got higher. The ones with the most evident growth were time path, soul path, and rule path.
Other than dao marks and dream realms, Fang Yuan's development of the sovereign immortal aperture had also risen greatly due to his annexing of immortal apertures, it had reached fifteen percent development.
And worth noting was that in Xia Cha's immortal aperture, Fang Yuan found a year essence pool!
This way, Fang Yuan's sovereign immortal aperture had two year essence pools.
Other than these, Fang Yuan's greatest gains were two things.
One was Luo Po seal.
Fang Yuan had always been trying to create this immortal killer move, he only succeeded recently.
The other was an incomplete Immortal Gu House.
Fang Yuan had wanted to build his own Immortal Gu House long ago, so that Hei Lou Lan, Bai Ning Bing, and the rest could fight in battle with him.
To create this Immortal Gu House, Fang Yuan took reference from Secluded Residence, Cloud City, Dark Flow Giant City, Profound Ice House, Unbreakable Iron Fortress, Blood River Chariot, Nightmare Castle,Green Wave Pavilion, Weaving Cocoon Manor, Golden Altar, Regret Pool, Sacred Feather City, Bai He Palace, and other Immortal Gu Houses, while the skeleton of the design was based on Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage.
Several months ago, while extorting Southern Border's righteous path to exchange Gu for Gu, Fang Yuan obtained many crucial Immortal Gu that allowed him to create the skeleton.
This Immortal Gu House was created by Fang Yuan himself, it was unprecedented. Because he needed to enter the River of Time, it mainly used time path Immortal Gu, it had a comprehensive range of abilities and most excelled in concealment.
Even though it was only a skeleton now, it had great battle strength in the five regional mountain range. Ying Wu Xie and the rest relied on this to cooperate with Fang Yuan, successfully capturing Jun Shen Guang.
In the River of Time, waves rose and fell, water splattered everywhere, creating beautiful rainbow light.
Fang Yuan rode in the incomplete Immortal Gu House as he traveled slowly in the river.
The rank six time path clone had already emerged from the sovereign immortal aperture, standing beside him as he shut his eyes, sensing internally.
Red Lotus Demon Venerable had left behind many true inheritances scattered in the River of Time, Spring Autumn Cicada was the key to finding them.
But the River of Time was extremely huge, in order to find the several stone lotus islands, other than luck, he also needed lots of time and energy to explore.
"It would be best if we could find a Red Lotus true inheritance in this exploration of the River of Time."
"But most importantly, we need to test Heavenly Court's arrangements and catch them off guard, if possible, we need to destroy their arrangements!"
Fang Yuan thought as he searched Jun Shen Guang's soul in the sovereign immortal aperture.
Jun Shen Guang's soul originally had light path dao marks to protect it, but after Fang Yuan's Luo Po seal struck, the defense was destroyed, at the same time, Jun Shen Guang's soul was injured, he was on the verge of death.
Precisely so, after Ying Wu Xie used lead soul into dream, Jun Shen Guang was directly hit and fell asleep.
The condition to use lead soul into dream killer move was to sense the soul and compare the strength between the enemy's soul and the user to determine the success.
Being able to deal such damage to a rank eight Gu Immortal, it showed how powerful Luo Po seal was!
However, compared to reverse flow protection seal, and seeing how Fang Yuan used Luo Po Valley as the core of this move, it was not very surprising that it had such power.
Right now, Jun Shen Guang's soul was extremely weak, he could not defend against Fang Yuan's method, information was obtained by Fang Yuan continuously.
"What arrangements did Heavenly Court make? Jun Shen Guang must know about them."
A moment later, Fang Yuan's brows eased as he found something: "Oh? Time path Immortal Gu House Present and Past Pavilion…"
He had just thought of this when the water in front of him rose up, a huge pavilion was riding the waves and approaching.
This pavilion was not covered on all four sides, it was very simplistic. The cover was made of yellow grass, the pillars were grey white rocks that were not polished. There was a folding screen1 in the pavilion, it was the most elegant decoration in there. Four Gu Immortals stood in the pavilion, they all had rank seven cultivation level, looking at Fang Yuan's incomplete Immortal Gu House, their eyes flashed with a dangerous light.
"This Present and Past Pavilion is a pure time path Immortal Gu House, it can inspect the past and present, it is best at investigation. Heavenly Court placed it here, the moment I entered, they noticed. Amazing, amazing!" Fang Yuan's heart sank a little, but he praised on the surface, explaining to Ying Wu Xie and the rest.
Ying Wu Xie, Bai Ning Bing, and the rest frowned lightly or had dark gazes.
They understood something, Fang Yuan's incomplete Immortal Gu House was best at concealing traces, to think that Present and Past Pavilion would be able to find them. This was like their advantage getting countered, even before fighting, they had gotten into a passive situation.
Present and Past Pavilion got to Fang Yuan and the rest before stopping, staying a thousand steps away from the incomplete Immortal Gu House.
Someone spoke coldly from within the pavilion: "Central Continent's Four Xunzi are here to guard the river, demon, don't think of advancing."
A person behind him said: "That's right, you'll have to step over our corpses if you want to pass!"
"Four Xunzi…" Fang Yuan directly soul searched Jun Shen Guang and quickly got the information of these four people.
It turned out that these four were time path Gu Immortals, they were quadruplets, found by Spirit Butterfly Valley when they were young and specially nurtured. They comprised three older brothers and one younger sister, they were Shang Xunzi, Zhong Xunzi, Xia Xunzi, and Xun Guo Zi respectively.

Chapter 1629: Great Power of Time Path
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
According to Jun Shen Guang's information, the Four Xunzi had the same rank seven cultivation level, they had a combination technique with extraordinary power, even against rank eight Gu Immortals, they could contest against them.
Of course, they were only able to fight with that one move. After a few rounds, they would definitely lose to the rank eight Gu Immortal.
They were not like the past Fang Yuan or Feng Jiu Ge with battle strength that could rival rank eights.
Even so, they were quite impressive. After nurturing the Four Xunzi, they had been kept hidden by Spirit Butterfly Valley, they were not easily deployed.
"Heavenly Court wants to make arrangements in the River of Time, Spirit Butterfly Valley had to comply. Four Xunzi… four time path experts with great cooperation, they are indeed the best candidates to control Present and Past Pavilion."
Fang Yuan frowned slightly.
The Four Xunzi and Present and Past Pavilion were not out of his expectations.
Rank eight Gu Immortals that were also time path were very rare. Heavenly Court originally had Lord Huang Shi, but he had died in the River of Time last time after Fang Yuan made use of the stone lotus island.
In order to deal with Fang Yuan and obstruct him in the River of Time, they had to choose people who were rank seven time path Gu Immortals, unless more antiques woke up from Heavenly Court's immortal graveyard.
What made Fang Yuan more concerned was that other than Present and Past Pavilion, Heavenly Court also had another time path Immortal Gu House, Eternal Yacht.
"Present and Past Pavilion excels at investigation, it is nearby so it was the first to obstruct me. I cannot stay here, once the Four Xunzi delay long enough, Eternal Yacht would arrive to help it, it will be disadvantageous for me to face two enemies at once."
Heavenly Court had a huge advantage in this, even though they did not have time path rank eights, they had members of other paths, along with two Immortal Gu Houses, Present and Past Pavilion and Eternal Yacht.
In contrast, Fang Yuan only had one incomplete Immortal Gu House, even though he became rank eight, Hei Lou Lan, Bai Ning Bing, and the rest were very weak.
Fang Yuan immediately opened his immortal aperture's entrance, letting out a second batch of immemorial year beasts.
He had used the first batch of immemorial year beasts in the five regional mountain range, they were injured or killed by Southern Border's righteous path, Fang Yuan did not manage to retrieve them.
But it did not matter, Fang Yuan had a second batch.
After annexing Xia Cha's immortal aperture, Fang Yuan obtained a second year essence pool, there were two immemorial year beasts inside. Furthermore, throughout the months, Fang Yuan had been using immemorial year beast fishing formation to lure immemorial year beasts to him, before capturing them inside the year essence pool.
Thus, Fang Yuan obtained two batches of immemorial year beasts, the second batch had a total of nine immemorial year beasts.
The only flaw was that Fang Yuan did not manage to collect all twelve types of immemorial year beasts to form the ancient battle formation.
He had tried to collect them during this period, but when he actually tried, he realized that getting a full set was very hard to achieve. He got the most number of immemorial year chickens, because recently, the River of Time was producing this type of year beasts1.
In Fang Yuan's second batch of immemorial year beasts, he had five chickens, more than half of the entire group.
Nine immemorial year beasts roared as they charged towards Present and Past Pavilion.
Inside Present and Past Pavilion, the Four Xunzi had grim expressions, they activated Present and Past Pavilion's power together.
Pew!
A huge wave that was ten meters tall crashed towards the nine immemorial year beasts.
Immemorial year beasts were beasts that belonged in the River of Time, Present and Past Pavilion's waves could not obstruct their movement. Instantly, they charged through the obstacle, creating countless splashes as they approached Present and Past Pavilion.
The surface of Present and Past Pavilion shined with brilliant light, the light shot up like a huge pillar.
Swish swish swish…
Waves came after waves, they were like moving walls that could attack or defend, constantly crashing into the immemorial year beasts.
At Fang Yuan's will, the immemorial year beast were instructed by him to cooperate, they shot out like an arrow, going past many walls of waves and reaching Present and Past Pavilion.
But all of a sudden, the Four Xunzi shouted as the folding screen in Present and Past Pavilion turned into misty green fog.
The green fog flew into the battlefield as the immemorial year beasts got affected, their speed fell as if they had landed in a marsh.
The green fog settled and fused into the water of the River of Time, turning the surface of the water in this area jade green.
Present and Past Pavilion shook intensely, the huge pillar of light faded and turned into green sparkles that enveloped the surroundings.
The sound of crashing waves became even louder and more imposing, they were many times larger than before, thirty meters tall now. Not just that, tens of spirals formed on the surface of the River of Time, they became excellent traps to restrain the immemorial year beasts.
The nine immemorial year beasts were originally gathered together, but after the obstruction of the waves, their formation broke apart as they fell into their own respective battles.
At once, Present and Past Pavilion stood at the center and controlled the situation. Fang Yuan's immemorial year beasts were all at a disadvantage.
The Four Xunzi's expressions relaxed.
Shang Xunzi let out a breath of air: "We finally got past the initial period, this demon did not break through."Read more chapter on NovelFull
Xun Guo Zi smiled: "Present and Past Pavilion has control of the situation now, even though Fang Yuan has many immemorial year beasts, he cannot gather them, he is not a threat."
"That's right." Xia Xunzi stroke his beard: "Even though Present and Past Pavilion is not his match anyway, as long as we can stall until Eternal Yacht arrives, by then our strength will surpass him, we will be able to win."
Zhong Xunzi had a deep gaze: "The demon is crafty, we cannot be careless, let's play safe."
He had just spoken when the immemorial year monkey closest to Present and Past Pavilion suddenly jumped up and used an immortal killer move.
It held a huge fan in its hands as it waved towards the front.
Rank eight immortal killer move — Summer Fan!
Instantly, intense winds whipped, sweeping away everything, the entire battlefield became dark and gloomy.
The huge waves resembling thick walls that were in front of the immemorial year monkey completely broke apart and collapsed due to summer fan.
The immemorial year monkey snickered as it dived down.
In Present and Past Pavilion, the Four Xunzi were shocked, they noticed that Fang Yuan was disguised as the immemorial year monkey.
"That demon has joined the battle!"
"Impossible! We have the investigative killer move from Lady Zi Wei, we can expose familiar face, how did he manage to deceive us?"
Fang Yuan sneered internally, he had spent the last few months to its fullest, using all of his time and energy without any waste, he had naturally modified familiar face.
Fang Yuan finally got to the Four Xunzi.
Present and Past Pavilion burst out with brilliant light once again, while Fang Yuan relied on the immemorial year monkey's tough physique to punch with its strong fists, but Present and Past Pavilion remained unmoving despite a loud sound.
"It is useless, right now, Present and Past Pavilion is anchored here in the River of Time, how can you move it?" Xun Guo Zi said with a nervous tone.
"Is that so…" Fang Yuan's eyes shined with brilliant light, he used immortal killer move spring scissors at the next moment.
Clip, clip.
Spring scissors cut continuously, Present and Past Pavilion was able to defend itself initially, but soon, the brilliant light on it was unable to last as spring scissors cut away a corner of the roof after five to six snips!
"This is a rank eight time path killer move, but how can it be so powerful?"
"Even Present and Past Pavilion cannot match it? How can this be!"
The Four Xunzi were frantic.
Fang Yuan's eyes were filled with cold flickering lightning.
He originally had over seventy thousand time path dao marks, it was at rank eight level. Now that he became an immemorial year monkey, his transformation path dao marks also turned into time path dao marks, adding another fifty thousand.
Thus, he had over a hundred and twenty thousand time path dao marks now!
Ordinary rank seven Gu Immortals would only have less than thirty thousand dao marks. A hundred and twenty thousand dao marks was not common for rank eight Gu Immortals, they normally would have to pass one myriad tribulation to get such an accumulation.
He could amplify any time path killer move by a hundred and twenty times its power!
And Fang Yuan was already using two rank eight immortal killer moves.
Even though Present and Past Pavilion had the territorial advantage, Fang Yuan's killer move was also boosted by the environment of the River of Time.
Thus, his time path battle strength soared to the extent that even Present and Past Pavilion could not endure his attacks!
Fang Yuan's two killer moves forced Present and Past Pavilion back time and time again.
The Four Xunzi tried to keep their stability in Present and Past Pavilion, while attacking sometimes, but Fang Yuan did not even need defensive killer moves like winter coat, with just the immemorial year monkey's body, he could endure them.
"Hold on!" A huge yacht was riding the waves, approaching them from afar. Several Gu Immortals were shouting and having nervous expressions.
Eternal Yacht was nearby.
"Too late." Fang Yuan snickered, he waved the summer fan and whipped up some tornadoes, Present and Past Pavilion was shaking from the impact, it was about to collapse.
Spring scissors flew towards it and snipped again!
A pillar in Present and Past Pavilion broke as it collapsed entirely.
Fang Yuan laughed loudly as he jumped above Present and Past Pavilion, stomping with his huge immemorial year monkey feet.
Boom!
The whole of Present and Past Pavilion broke apart into pieces, the Four Xunzi were either dead or injured, they were all kicked into the River of Time.
Fang Yuan and the incomplete Immortal Gu House left with ease.
When Eternal Yacht arrived, it was already too late. The Gu Immortals in the yacht hesitated, should they save the Four Xunzi or chase after Fang Yuan.

Chapter 1630: Stone Island Trap

"Cough, cough." Shang Xunzi sprawled on the deck of Eternal Yacht as he coughed, he had drunk a lot of water, he was drenched.
Beside him, Xia Xunzi had already fainted, his injuries were severe, his situation was not looking good.
Rank eight Gu Immortal Qing Ye walked over and looked at Shang Xunzi calmly: "The other two have been swept away by the River of Time, we cannot find them."
Shang Xunzi breathed roughly for a while, he forcibly stood up, taking a glance at Xia Xunzi before speaking with a pale expression: "They have already died, that demon Fang Yuan is very powerful! How is the salvaging of Present and Past Pavilion going?"
The Four Xunzi were siblings with deep kinship, but right now, Shang Xunzi was more concerned about Present and Past Pavilion, he did not pay attention to the dying Xia Xunzi nor did he display anger or sadness.
Qing Ye smiled: "The core Immortal Gu have not been destroyed, we have recovered all of them."
"That's good!" Shang Xunzi let out a breath of air, his expression easing.
Qing Ye nodded: "I have already prepared the room for you."
Shang Xunzi: "Thank you, I will go and revive my siblings now."
It turned out that these quadruplets, with their very close bloodline, managed to create a unique killer move. Even if three of them died, as long as one remained, they could use the killer move to rapidly revive the other three.
Precisely so, Shang Xunzi did not feel any sadness.
A moment later, the Four Xunzi returned to the deck with no injuries, entering battle once again.

Fang Yuan's second batch of immemorial year beasts were surrounding Eternal Yacht, attacking from all sides, desperately drawing their attention…
The river water was turbulent, sounds of waves crashing could be heard by Fang Yuan.
Right now, he had returned to his original appearance, he entered the incomplete Immortal Gu House to rest.
With this incomplete Immortal Gu House, Fang Yuan had a base, it was very useful.
"Eternal Yacht did not chase us…" After leaving the battlefield for a while, Fang Yuan relaxed his mind slightly.
The speed of the incomplete Immortal Gu House could not match Eternal Yacht, its specialty was in concealing its traces when moving.
With Present and Past Pavilion around, the incomplete Immortal Gu House could not move stealthily. But Eternal Yacht could not detect the incomplete Immortal Gu House, otherwise, why would it not pursue him with such an advantage in speed?
"We are temporarily safe." Ying Wu Xie breathed out deeply, feeling some lingering fear: "It was quite dangerous earlier."
"Indeed, if sect leader did not destroy Present and Past Pavilion, we might have fallen into a tough battle and would not be able to escape." Fairy Miao Yin smiled.
Bai Ning Bing was silent at the side.
Hei Lou Lan looked outside the Immortal Gu House, at the grand River of Time.
Fang Yuan's time path clone was frowning with his eyes shut. He was trying to track the islands, but his vital Gu Spring Autumn Cicada had no reactions.
In fact, according to Spectral Soul Demon Venerable's deduction, the higher Spring Autumn Cicada's rank was, the larger the range of its detection to find Red Lotus' true inheritance.
Fang Yuan's Spring Autumn Cicada was only rank six, even though he had many Immortal Gu recipes, Fang Yuan's multiple attempts at refining it ended in failure.
It was regrettable, but Fang Yuan had done his best already.
For the last few months, he had put in all his effort to cultivate soul path, explore dream realms, modify killer moves, extort Southern Border's righteous path, plot for the overall situation, defend against deductions, annex immortal apertures, and so on, he had expended his time and energy.
It was already a miracle that he could squeeze out some time to refine Spring Autumn Cicada. But the real miracle did not happen, Fang Yuan's refinement attempts failed.
"Even though Spring Autumn Cicada is rank six, I have already made up for the flaws in other aspects." Fang Yuan's eyes shined with deep confidence.
He had planned deeply before entering the River of Time. Fang Yuan had already used luck path methods like burning soul bursting luck, he had only stopped after reaching the limit.
In this vast River of Time, finding one or two stone lotus islands was purely dependent on luck.
Roar—!
The river water suddenly became turbulent as sounds of beast growls entered their ears.
"There are two immemorial year beasts fighting ahead!" After inspecting it, Ying Wu Xie alerted.
Looking at it closely, these two immemorial year beasts had already fought for some time, they were near their limit.
Fang Yuan laughed, wasn't this the work of luck path?
He flew out of the incomplete Immortal Gu House and activated familiar face, becoming a part of the river water as he blended into the River of Time.
COMMENT
Next, he opened a trace of his immortal aperture's entrance and activated the immemorial year beast fishing formation!
The two immemorial year beasts detected the delicacy, their movements stopped, they charged towards Fang Yuan like they were competing in a race.
They did not find any enemies, but they sensed a tributary of the River of Time under the river water.
The immemorial year beasts did not think much, they charged into this tributary of the River of Time.
This was naturally Fang Yuan's sovereign immortal aperture.
If it were in the past, Fang Yuan would not dare to lure these immemorial year beasts, they would cause huge destruction to the sovereign immortal aperture if they went in.
But now, times were different, Fang Yuan had year essence pools, two in fact!
The year essence pools were connected to the tributary of the River of Time like huge dams.
The immemorial year beasts were lured by the formation, following the tributary of the River of Time until they rushed into the 'dam', becoming trapped.
Fang Yuan smiled heartily as he stopped the transformation killer move, he flew back into the incomplete Immortal Gu House.
Those two immemorial year monkeys were trapped in the year essence pools, they could not find any food and sensed something amiss, but how could they return to the River of Time now?
Fang Yuan used his enslavement path methods and quickly subdued these two immemorial year beasts.
The incomplete Immortal Gu House moved stealthily as it searched for a stone lotus island.
Fang Yuan met many year beasts along the way, he took in all of them, luring them into the year essence pools and subduing them.
Soon, Fang Yuan's number of immemorial year beasts rose to six.
And even more ancient and desolate level year beasts.
Other than year beasts, there were other lifeforms like day beasts, month beasts, or dark web spiders in the River of Time, Fang Yuan had chosen to ignore them all.
The use of the year essence pools was amply displayed here!
With th, Fang Yuan could lure immemorial year beasts while keeping sovereign immortal aperture very safe. Without their restriction, the immemorial year beasts would be able to move along the tributary of the River of Time and go to anywhere in the sovereign immortal aperture. Because the tributary was present all over the whole sovereign immortal aperture.
"Wait!" After moving for a while, Fang Yuan's time path clone opened his eyes, bursting with bright light.
He seemed to have found something!
The time path clone quickly shut his eyes as he frowned deeply, trying to sense it.
Next, he pointed in one direction: "There seems to be something there, Spring Autumn Cicada shuddered a little."
The time path clone spoke with uncertainty.
But this was the only clue, Fang Yuan manipulated the incomplete Immortal Gu House and changed directions, going towards that place.
As the distance shortened, Fang Yuan's clone felt increasingly happy: "The feeling is getting stronger, our luck is really not bad, we found it so quickly!"
A while later, in the vision of Fang Yuan and the rest, a thin layer of fog appeared.
The incomplete Immortal Gu House halted for a moment before rushing into the fog with no hesitation.
The fog was extraordinary, it could obscure one's sense of direction and confuse them, but using the key Spring Autumn Cicada, Fang Yuan's clone could move in the proper direction.
The fog got thicker, the river water also moved slower due to its effect, it was not as turbulent as the water outside.
Vaguely, the silhouette of an island appeared before Fang Yuan and the rest.
"Stone lotus island! Red Lotus true inheritance!!" Ying Wu Xie stared wide and shouted loudly.
Bai Ning Bing and the rest also started to breathe roughly.
When the incomplete Immortal Gu House got to the periphery of the stone lotus island, the island shot out a white light that hit the incomplete Immortal Gu House directly.
"What is going on?!" Fairy Miao Yin screamed.
"Oh no! This is a trap." Fang Yuan's eyes shined with a sharp light, it was too late to escape now.
The entire incomplete Immortal Gu House shook intensely, it could not resist the strong attacks outside.
"Demon, I have been waiting for you for a long time!" A rank eight Gu Immortal with a tall muscular body appeared on the stone lotus island.
At the next moment, his killer move that had been prepared for a while hit the incomplete Immortal Gu House.
Boom!
The incomplete Immortal Gu House broke apart at once.

Chapter 1631: Verdant Sun Flame Cloak
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Fang Yuan's incomplete Immortal Gu House did not excel in defense, after it was struck, it broke apart.
Fang Yuan and the rest quickly defended themselves inside the Immortal Gu House.
A huge amount of flames moved like poisonous snakes and burned all of the Gu worms in their way, before they gathered towards Fang Yuan in an encircling movement.
Fang Yuan shouted as he used immortal killer move winter coat, his body was immediately covered by a layer of snow-white frost.
The frost not only protected him, at this crucial moment, it spread out and protected the time path clone, Hei Lou Lan, Ying Wu Xie, Bai Ning Bing, and the rest.
In this regard, winter coat was better than reverse flow protection seal.
Because reverse flow protection seal only defended himself, it could not help others, but winter coat was able to affect other people.
Winter coat killer move blocked the fire snakes' attacks, but at the next moment, the old man on the stone lotus island shouted: "By the power of flames, snakes turn into dragons!"
Whoosh!
The flames burst out with incredible heat, the snakes coiled around each other, turning into a huge flame dragon that was a hundred feet long, possessing huge claws and fangs.
The bright red flame dragon slashed through winter coat before charging at Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan wanted to open his immortal aperture's entrance to store the immortals back in his aperture, but this fire snake killer move actually had a variation, with the old man's deep experience, Fang Yuan had no time for that.
The flame dragon opened its mouth as its soared down from above.
Fang Yuan and the rest looked up as their faces were red from the light of the flames, the intense heat felt like it was going to grill them alive!
Bai Ning Bing, Hei Lou Lan, and the rest all revealed looks of despair on their faces.
This flame dragon was not an ordinary rank eight killer move, it had extraordinary power, even Bai Ning Bing's Bai Xiang killer move could not escape from it.
Their only hope was Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan's ears, nose, and eyes were bleeding!
Winter coat killer move was broken, Fang Yuan suffered a rank eight killer move backlash. A large number of mortal Gu were killed, thankfully his core Immortal Gu were still alive, they were damaged but still usable.
Fang Yuan was in a difficult situation.
The time path clone, Bai Ning Bing, Hei Lou Lan, and the rest were behind him, their cultivation level was too low, they could not block the flame dragon. If they had the incomplete Immortal Gu House, they could still participate in the fight, but the old man was too perceptive, he destroyed the incomplete Immortal Gu House from the start.
If Fang Yuan stayed and protected them, not only did he have no good methods now that winter coat was broken, even if he did, it would be too dangerous!
Because the other party wanted to force Fang Yuan to fight them, once he protects them and fights, the old man's plan would succeed.
Fang Yuan was almost certain that the other party still had killer moves prepared. Once Fang Yuan fights with the flame dragon, the old man would grasp the tempo of the battle, he would control the battle's flow from now on.
Instantly, Fang Yuan made up his mind, he moved out like lightning, dodging the flame dragon.
The old man laughed frenziedly: "A true demon indeed! Then burn to death!"
The flame dragon ignored Fang Yuan, it charged down.
Fang Yuan snorted coldly, he turned around and attacked the old man.
The old man diverted his gaze at Fang Yuan, seeing that he was approaching, the old man smiled and revealed a sinister expression.
Fang Yuan's heart sank, he attacked so that the old man would divert attention to defend himself but the old man was similarly courageous and did not fear a frontal assault. Most possibly, he still had arrangements on this stone lotus island, he was extremely confident.
Fang Yuan stretched out his finger, his hard work over the last few months had not been in vain, spring scissors was unleashed and shot towards the old man.
The scissors was very sharp, but when it landed on the old man, his hair started to burn as it turned into a flame cloak, protecting him all around and blocking spring scissors.
"Hahaha, I named this move verdant sun flame cloak, I made it from the inspiration I gained from Verdant Great Sun's flame hair from The Legends of Ren Zu, it is my proudest creation. To speak the truth, even though I am a fire path Gu Immortal, I am more skilled in defense than offense! Not just spring scissors, even summer fan is useless against me." The old man laughed loudly.
But at the next moment, the old man's smile faded.
It turned out that the flame dragon had returned empty-handed, be it Fang Yuan's time path clone, Bai Ning Bing, Hei Lou Lan, or others, they were still alive.
The old man's eyelids twitched, he licked his dry lips as he said darkly: "This is a dream realm?"
It turned out that while Fang Yuan dodged the flame dragon, he did not abandon his clone or the other Gu Immortals, he had ordered Ying Wu Xie to self-detonate at the crucial moment.
After the five regional mountain range, Ying Wu Xie had changed bodies, using a body with the Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique again. Precisely because of the dream path dao marks on the Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique, he was able to use lead soul into dream and successfully affect rank eight Gu Immortal Jun Shen Guang.
Now that the Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique body self-detonated, Ying Wu Xie's soul was trapped in the dream realm. The other immortals were very close to him, they were covered by the dream realm.
With the manifestation of the dream realm, all other paths could not affect it. The old man's flame dragon had great power, but against the illusory dream realm, it was useless.
"Hmph, you are truly a scheming demon, but you will die today!" The old man stomped his feet, flying up into the sky as the stone lotus island below him scattered into dust and sand.
The old man wore a flame cloak as he approached Fang Yuan like a blazing meteor. Spring scissors followed after him as it attacked, but the flames defended against them and the old man was completely unharmed.
Fang Yuan flew backwards as he used summer fan.
Intense winds blew, the old man's flame cloak was flickering, but it seemed like the fire was growing with the wind, becoming even larger.
The old man smiled as he exposed his sharp teeth: "How about that! My verdant sun flame cloak is unparalleled, have you felt despair yet? Hahaha!"
Like what the old man has said, summer fan and spring scissors were useless against verdant sun flame cloak.
Not only that, as they got closer, an intense feeling of drunkenness assaulted Fang Yuan.
But soon, Fang Yuan used his wisdom path killer move and regained clarity in his mind.
Verdant sun flame cloak not only contained the extreme profundity of fire path, it also mimicked the effects of human path and food path. As the old man got closer to him, the greater the feeling of drunkenness would be.
Fang Yuan tried his best to retreat, wanting to pull some distance from the old man, but against his wishes, the enemy's speed surpassed him by quite a bit.
"Demon, you are trapped in the formation, where can you run to? Obediently accept your death!" The old man shouted.
Earlier, the stone lotus island was merely an illusion, its true essence was a super time path immortal formation set up in the River of Time!
This formation was very powerful, even Fang Yuan could not notice it. As it activated now, a formation space was created, Fang Yuan was trapped inside, restricting him from using Omni-directional Travel, Fixed Immortal Travel, and other similar methods.
Fang Yuan had used a time path formation earlier to ambush Southern Border's righteous path. Now, Heavenly Court did the same against Fang Yuan.
But Heavenly Court put in much more effort than Fang Yuan!
Fang Yuan could not create such a time path formation in the River of Time. With his current strength, he could only create a time path immortal formation near a tributary of the River of Time in the outside world.
Even for time path great experts in history, few could create immortal formations inside the River of Time.
The person who could achieve this to the limit was Red Lotus Demon Venerable. This person had already surpassed the realms of time path immortal formations, he could directly create artificial secluded domains of heaven and earth, stone lotus islands, to influence segments of the River of Time and take control of it.
Heavenly Court had been looking for the stone lotus islands and had yet to find one, but they were not without gains. This time path immortal formation was one of their achievements.
The formation restricted Fang Yuan, making him unable to evade or dodge.
The old man got closer, Fang Yuan snorted, instead of retreating, he charged at the old man.
The old man was slightly surprised, but he quickly reacted as he waved his hands, sending waves of flames towards Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan had no fear, he rammed forward.
The huge flames reversed and went back to attack the old man.
It was the immortal killer move — Reverse Flow Protection Seal!
The old man was a little flustered, he defended against his own killer move, but at this moment, Fang Yuan had already arrived in front of him.
Fang Yuan was ruthless, he slammed his body into the old man.
Reverse flow protection seal against verdant sun flame cloak!
At the next moment, Fang Yuan and the old man both flew backwards, they were nearly evenly matched in this contest.
The old man had lost by a slight bit, but soon, his flame cloak burned again as he returned to his peak condition.
Reverse flow protection seal was extremely effective against attacks. But verdant sun flame cloak was a defensive killer move, the reflected damage was quite little.
"This is reverse flow protection seal? Heh, he found out so quickly." The old man's gaze flickered eerily.
It turned out that this time path immortal formation created an isolated inner formation space, there was a core effect, it was that this environment weakened time path.
Heavenly Court's original intention was to use this formation to deal with the stone lotus islands of Red Lotus' true inheritance. These islands were artificially created time path secluded domains of heaven and earth, once the formation encapsulates them, they would be weakened.
Precisely so, Fang Yuan's spring scissors and summer fan killer moves were so ineffective against verdant sun flame cloak.
Verdant sun flame cloak was very powerful indeed, it was the peak creation of fire path, and even extended to contain the profundities of human path and food path.
COMMENT
In terms of intricacy, reverse flow protection seal was very roughly made and straightforward. In contrast, myriad self comprised both enslavement path and strength path, it was on par with verdant sun flame cloak in this aspect.
Summer fan and spring scissors were ordinary, they only contained rank eight Immortal Gu and were amplified by time path dao marks to gain such great power. They could not break verdant sun flame cloak but could have caused great damage. Yet in this environment, they had a mild effect.
Fang Yuan realized this and daringly dispelled winter coat, instead using reverse flow protection seal to regain his footing in the battle.

Immortal killer move — Myriad Dragon!
Howl…
At once, myriad dragons flew in a sea of silvery scales, attacking the old man like a tidal wave.
After understanding the effect of the time path formation, Fang Yuan gave up on his strongest time path methods, he started to use other methods. In this aspect, Fang Yuan had many useful methods comparatively.
The old man snorted, showing no surprise on his face.
Before coming here, he had already made ample preparation, he knew about Fang Yuan's myriad dragon killer move.
"Slippery eels, what can they do to me?" The old man stood arrogantly in the sky, instead of dodging, he watched as the myriad dragons approached him.
His verdant sun flame cloak was blazing, his entire body was covered, resembling a huge fireball.
The myriad dragons appeared before the old man, but they started to screech weirdly, the sword dragons were all drowsy as they randomly flew around, their ferocious attacks had been stopped.
When each sword dragon's drunkenness got to a certain level, they would start to blaze up with a loud sound.
The sword dragons turned into a pile of flames before rapidly vanishing.
Looking at the field, the old man was unmoving while the myriad dragons burned to death. Even though there were countless dragons, the moment they got close to the old man, they died, they were of no threat to him.
"Immortal killer move verdant sun flame cloak!" Fang Yuan's pupils shrunk, he finally saw the power of this move. It was both offensive and defensive, it was a counter to Fang Yuan's myriad dragon killer move.
"Then let's try Luo Po seal." Fang Yuan thought to himself.
He had already used familiar face to disguise as a sword dragon, he blended into the army of dragons, getting closer to the old man.
Next, he pretended to be drunk as he got closer and unleashed Luo Po seal.
Fang Yuan got exposed when the killer move had just activated, Luo Po seal's aura was too great, it could not be hidden.
The old man's gaze shot like lightning as he charged at Fang Yuan without fearing Luo Po seal.
Boom boom boom!
The old man attacked Fang Yuan in a frenzy but reverse flow protection seal kept him safe.
Fang Yuan did not speak, he endured the old man's attacks until Luo Po seal was finally ready to strike.
The old man was on guard now, the situation was not good for Fang Yuan. Eventually, he barely managed to use Luo Po seal, but it scraped past the old man's shoulder, only half landing!
The old man immediately felt a sense of emptiness in his heart, at the same time, the blazing cloak on his back weakened by forty percent!
"This move is amazing, but it cannot break my verdant sun flame cloak!" The old man laughed loudly as he retreated, using methods to heal himself.
His speed was faster than Fang Yuan, it was hard to land consecutive hits on him.
The old man found time to catch a breather despite having the disadvantage, a moment later, his injuries healed mostly and his aura regained its peak state, the verdant sun flame cloak also started to blaze up again.
Luo Po seal had terrifying might but the old man was very alert, he did not give Fang Yuan any more chances.
His verdant sun flame cloak's defenses were superb, Fang Yuan could sense that in battle, it was like how his enemies felt when facing reverse flow protection seal.
"This old man's soul is not his weakness." Even though he only grazed past him, Fang Yuan obtained valuable intel.
Luo Po seal was targeted at the enemy's soul, but this old man was an experienced rank eight Gu Immortal with deep foundations, he did not have any evident weaknesses, his soul's defense was quite tight.
Fang Yuan estimated that even if Luo Po seal hit directly, it could not kill the old man in one move.
Luo Po seal had to be paired with lead soul into dream to deal with Heavenly Court's rank eight Gu Immortals.
But at the start of the battle, the old man destroyed Fang Yuan's incomplete Immortal Gu House, causing Ying Wu Xie and the rest to slumber in the dream realm.
If the incomplete Immortal Gu House was still around, Fang Yuan would have Ying Wu Xie's lead soul into dream to help him, he would have the advantage against this old man.
But the old man had ambushed and destroyed the incomplete Immortal Gu House, not only were Fang Yuan's losses severe, he lost his initiative and was kept on the back foot for a long time.
This situation was naturally very dangerous for Fang Yuan, he had fallen into an ambush, he had to escape quickly.
Immortal killer move — Myriad Dragon!
Fang Yuan continued to activate myriad dragon as more sword dragons filled this formation space.
The old man had the advantage but he did not relax his mind or become careless.
He squinted a little as Fang Yuan hid among the sword dragons again. At this time, should he use an investigative method to find Fang Yuan or eliminate these sword dragons first?
If he did not kill Fang Yuan, there would be an endless stream of sword dragons, but the old man had clear awareness, he thought: "I'm afraid my investigative method cannot expose familiar face, Fang Yuan is so crafty, he must have other plans!"
The old man had the initiative now, he spoke arrogantly and wildly, but his mind was extremely calm and composed.
He knew that when opponents of his and Fang Yuan's level fight, with such rich battle experience on both sides, even though he had the initiative now and could hold the advantage, if he made a mistake, Fang Yuan would turn the situation around.
The old man roared as flames started to burn around, spreading out like a sea of fire.
The sword dragons melted in candles within the flame.
The old man's decision made Fang Yuan quite troubled.
He hesitated for a while before persisting with his tactic, he controlled the myriad dragons to charge at the formation space.
This formation was clearly controlled by Central Continent Gu Immortals. Seeing that the myriad dragons were attacking, they wanted to retaliate but the old man quickly transmitted to them: "Don't move! Fang Yuan has very high time path and wisdom path attainment levels, the more the formation activates, the more flaws he will notice. I will handle these eels, don't be anxious."
The old man did not want to give Fang Yuan any chances, the sea of fire killed the sword dragons at a rapid rate.
Fang Yuan smiled coldly, he suddenly appeared in front of the dream realm.
Immortal killer move — Pure Dream Reality Seeker Transformation!
He quickly gathered the dream realm and turned the lump of dream realm into a Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique body.
"Oh no, this demon is so scheming!" The old man's expression changed, Fang Yuan used many feints and tactics, it was hard to see through his plans after all.
Fang Yuan opened a sliver of his immortal aperture's entrance, wanting to send the time path clone, Ying Wu Xie's soul, Hei Lou Lan, and Bai Ning Bing inside.
1
But at this moment, the old man screamed angrily behind him: "Demon, forget about it!"
Boom!
A killer move was used, bursting out with immense strength and sound.
Fang Yuan felt a chill, he did not need to turn around to know that this move was the old man's strongest offensive method.
"I won't make it!" Fang Yuan did not have enough time to react, his heart sank to rock bottom.
At the crucial moment, he went all out!
His time path killer move was used as the time around suddenly became faster.
He placed the immortals into the immortal aperture, and at the same time, he felt like a giant had landed a punch on his back, the huge force sent him flying like a cannonball, he lost fifteen percent of Reverse Flow River's water! The impact made Fang Yuan's head dizzy, he directly spat out a mouthful of blood.
He was only able to save a portion of them, Fairy Miao Yin could not be reached. She was still unconscious earlier, after being engulfed in the huge flames, she was burned to ashes, not a bit of her body remained.
Fang Yuan shouted loudly as he used myriad dragon, charging around the place, while he started to act and destroy the formation.
The old man was a bit nervous now, he started to attack Fang Yuan.
But Fang Yuan had reverse flow protection seal to defend him, he ignored the old man and only targeted the formation.
"Fang Yuan, don't think of getting out, that is merely a delusion!" The old man roared as his flames engulfed Fang Yuan.
"Hahaha, you are simply struggling at death's door." The old man got behind Fang Yuan and slammed them on his back like two huge tablets, Fang Yuan was sent flying.
Fang Yuan was bleeding from all seven orifices, it was quite a pathetic sight, yet his eyes were still cold as ice, he continued to attack the time path formation.
"It is useless! How can you break such an amazing formation? Look at your Reverse Flow River, it is about to be fully expended." The old man mocked, he attacked with greater intensity, killing intent surged as he behaved in a frenzied manner.
Even though Reverse Flow River could reflect attacks, the old man also had his verdant sun flame cloak. He endured the reflected attacks as he continued to expend the Reverse Flow River water.
He was not wrong, Fang Yuan's Reverse Flow River had gone through many battles, a lot of it was used up already. As he continued to attack, the river water level fell, Fang Yuan's robe also started to become thin and flimsy.
Suddenly, Fang Yuan roared as he stopped attacking, preparing Luo Po seal again.
The old man's pupils shrunk, his attacks changed, he started to prepare his defenses against Luo Po seal.
Fang Yuan completed the preparation as he flicked his palm, instead of attacking the old man, he shot it towards a corner of the formation.
"Guh!" With a shocked voice, a rank seven Gu Immortal controlling the formation was hit by Luo Po seal, he died on the spot.
"How?!" The other Central Continent Gu Immortals were also shocked and lost for words.
Fang Yuan was able to find a formation core in such a short time and kill the person inside.
Luo Po seal was very powerful even against rank eight Gu Immortals, not to mention these rank sevens.
"Quick, that formation core has been destroyed, quickly move and fix the hole!" A Gu Immortal shouted.
On the other end, the old man grunted as he attacked Fang Yuan again.
Fang Yuan used the extremely depleted reverse flow protection seal to defend himself while attacking the formation himself.
With many of his methods used, Heavenly Court's meticulously created time path immortal formation collapsed area by area, it could not hold up against Fang Yuan's unraveling.
"How can this be?!" Fang Yuan's speed of deduction was extremely shocking to everyone.
"Quick, over there!" Someone shouted.
A loophole formed in the formation, connecting with the outside world.
Fang Yuan laughed heartily: "Bye."
"You cannot leave!" Flames swept over, turning into the old man. He hid the loophole behind himself desperately.
The other Central Continent Gu Immortals also let out a sigh of relief.
But Fang Yuan shot out like an arrow towards the old man, saying coldly with deep killing intent: "Get lost."
The old man snickered: "It is useless, you cannot deal with my verdant sun flame cloak!"
The distance between them shrunk!
Central Continent's Gu Immortals quickly changed their formation, someone shouted: "Block Fang Yuan, we only need five breaths of time to change the formation! This is a complete change, it would be ten times as difficult as before to deduce it afterwards!"
The old man scoffed: "Not just five breaths, even if… hmm?"
His eyes suddenly widened, his face turned stiff, he looked at Fang Yuan's killer move preparation with deep disbelief.
Fang Yuan's aura was completely concealed, not a bit leaked out.
He clapped both hands together in front of his chest. Next, his right hand which was in contact with his left hand moved, it was like he was trying to pull out something precious, as his right palm slowly clenched into a fist.
Afterwards, his left hand was still at the original position, but his tightly clenched right fist was lifted, above his chest and shoulder, above his head, until it was fixed right above his head.
"This, this move is…" The old man no longer smiled, there was nervousness in his eyes and even some fear.
Indeed, this was the immortal killer move — Five Finger Fist Heart Sword!
Time passed, at the first breath.
First finger!
Fang Yuan had a cold expression as he raised the thumb of his right hand.
From the right fist that he held high in the air, a sword light shot out.
Fast! Fast! Fast!
The speed of the sword light was beyond belief!
The moment it was shot out, it pierced the old man's forehead.
The old man shuddered, the flames on the verdant sun flame cloak on his body weakened by half.
Second breath.
Second finger!
The old man reacted, he roared as the verdant sun flame cloak started blazing again.
But the sword light landed again, weakening the verdant sun flame cloak.
Third breath.
Third finger.
The old man's expression turned pale, he wanted to grit his teeth, the verdant sun flame cloak on his back had expanded like a fireball, earlier it was the size of a horse carriage, but now it was the size of a house.
The old man roared: "This is the peak condition of my verdant sun flame cloak! Come, your attacks cannot break through."
The moment he said that, the sword light landed as the verdant sun flame cloak burst like a balloon, it returned to its former condition.
Five finger fist heart sword got stronger as it progressed.
Fourth breath, fourth finger!
The old man desperately blocked the fourth sword, his expression was pale, he took a huge step back, verdant sun flame cloak was like a flickering candle, it was extremely thin now.
Fifth breath.
Fang Yuan snickered: "What cloak, it is laughable. Li Huang, you can start preparing your funeral. It is over, the fifth sword!"
The old man's heart jumped, his eyes were filled with terror: "No, Bo Qing, don't even dream of killing me!"
The flame blazed, he turned into dozens of figures as he flew in all directions.
Fang Yuan ignored him, he flew outside the loophole, escaping into the River of Time.
He had just flown out when the time path formation changed completely, the earlier loopholes were fixed, it had become whole again, securely locking the formation space inside.
But Fang Yuan had already escaped, the time path formation was completely silent inside.
The Central Continent Gu Immortals controlling the formation were all dumbfounded.
The flame clones dissipated slowly, until only the old man's main body remained.
At this moment, his face was flushing red and white; anger, fear, humiliation, hatred, and killing intent, they filled his heart entirely, turning his expression distorted and filled with terrifying hatred.
Suddenly, the old man raised his head and roared.
"There, there was no fifth sword!"

"Fang Yuan!!"
"You lied!!!"

After a tough battle of brains and brawn, Fang Yuan finally got out of Heavenly Court's ambush and escaped into the River of Time.
Once he left the formation, Fang Yuan felt the difficulty of using reverse flow protection seal raise by several times, he quickly stopped it and changed to the time path killer move winter coat.
Immortal killer move — Familiar Face!
At the next moment, Fang Yuan turned into an immemorial year beast.
Because he had transformed in the River of Time, transformation path was also greatly suppressed. Even though he managed to use the move, his immortal essence expenditure was tens of times as much as usual!
Thankfully, familiar face's core was attitude Gu, it only expended mental energy. Thus, on the whole, familiar face used very little immortal essence, Fang Yuan could sustain it.
Plop.
Fang Yuan turned into an immemorial year snake as he went into the River of Time, slithering away.
"We are finally out of the encirclement, escaping the time path formation." Fang Yuan felt a little glad.
The earlier situation was quite dangerous. The longer it dragged on, the more tight Heavenly Court's defenses would be, and the lower chances Fang Yuan would have of survival.
This time, there were two reasons why he could escape.
Firstly, Fang Yuan had made the time path clone use the light of wisdom to break the formation. Because of the light of wisdom, Fang Yuan's wisdom path abilities far exceeded Heavenly Court's imagination, he could catch them off guard.
Secondly, he used five finger fist heart sword. Fang Yuan had rank eight cultivation level, with his own white litchi immortal essence, he could use wisdom sword Immortal Gu. This Immortal Gu was one of the core of five finger fist heart sword to begin with, thus, Fang Yuan could use the fourth sword of five finger fist heart sword. This was his current limit, to use the fifth sword, he would need other core sword path Immortal Gu.
"I expended a lot of rank eight immortal essence." Fang Yuan inspected his immortal aperture, his immortal essence storage had fallen to a dangerous level.
Even though Fang Yuan's sovereign immortal aperture had a fast time flow and could accumulate white litchi immortal essence rapidly, he had gone through fierce battles consecutively, especially earlier against the old man Li Huang, he had expended a lot when breaking out of the time path formation.
"I should escape first!" In this situation, Fang Yuan only had one thought.
This was the wisest decision, a frontal face-off was the most stupid idea.
"Fang Yuan, where are you going!" An angry growl could be heard behind him.
Fang Yuan turned around and his heart jumped.
Three Immortal Gu Houses were chasing after him with threatening auras.
The left one was Eternal Yacht, it was tall and rode with the wind. On the deck, rank eight Gu Immortal Qing Ye, the rank seven Gu Immortals Four Xunzi and others were standing with a righteous aura.
The middle one was Three Autumn Yellow Crane Platform, it was elegant and grand, the orange roof resembled cranes with their wings spread out. The Immortal Gu House was radiating three layers of autumn light, it was quite extraordinary.
The right one was Shark Flow Lever, the huge lever was white like jade, a rank eight Gu Immortal was standing on it, he wore a suit of blue star armor and had a rough appearance. There were seven huge sharks in front of the lever, they had sharp teeth and were dragging the huge lever ahead.
"Three rank seven Immortal Gu Houses, at least three rank eight Gu Immortals, with many rank seven Gu Immortals…" Fang Yuan's heart continued to sink, at this moment, he could see Heavenly Court's huge determination to get rid of him!
Even though Fang Yuan became an immemorial year snake, his speed was not fast. With the destruction of the incomplete Immortal Gu House, he could not conceal himself.
Both sides continued to shrink in distance, the three Immortal Gu Houses attacked from afar.
Fang Yuan used autumn perception killer move as eyes seemed to grow on his back, he managed to evade agilely.
If he could not dodge, he would use winter coat to endure the attacks forcefully.
Winter coat was amplified in the River of Time, together with Fang Yuan's time path dao marks, it displayed incredible defensive power, even though it was not as amazing as reverse flow protection seal, it was on par with it here.
"This cannot go on!" The situation was getting worse, Fang Yuan tried to find a solution.
Luo Po seal took a long time to activate, in the River of Time, the duration would be even longer, and the overall strength would be weaker. Heavenly Court would be fully on guard against him, he could not rely on Luo Po seal to turn the situation around.
Myriad self, myriad dragon, strength path giant hand, emperor yama, and others, they were the same.
Fang Yuan could only rely on summer fan, spring scissors, and other time path methods.
But the three Immortal Gu Houses after Fang Yuan were strong as fortresses, spring scissors and summer fan were unable to do anything to them.
As they continued to fight, Fang Yuan's immortal essence storage fell continuously, the situation was getting worse.
Heavenly Court chased after Fang Yuan with rising morale, their expressions were very optimistic.
Suddenly, at the river ahead, a change occurred, huge fountains were starting to burst out.
"Oh no, this is the sudden spring river segment!"
"This demon excels in luck path, he has incredible luck, he is very hard to kill. As expected, something occurred here!"
"Follow him, don't let him escape."
Heavenly Court's side shouted, showing nervous expressions on their faces.
Fang Yuan dived into the sudden spring river segment.
The sudden springs were very dangerous, they carried the might of time path. If the scale was large enough, they would definitely be able to take the lives of rank eight Gu Immortals.
In most situations, Fang Yuan would avoid them, but now, this sudden spring river segment was his hope of escaping.
The immemorial year snake slithered in the river, sudden springs erupted around Fang Yuan time and time again, but they were not much of an obstacle for him.
Fang Yuan had luck inspection Immortal Gu, while the sovereign immortal body had non-conflicting dao marks, he could evidently sense that his luck was falling rapidly.
Luck path usually could not be sensed, but at this moment, it displayed its incredible power.Read more chapter on NovelFull
Heavenly Court's three Immortal Gu Houses had a hard time chasing him.
The moment they entered the sudden spring river segment, Eternal Yacht and Three Autumn Yellow Crane Platform were hit by sudden springs immediately, pushed up forcefully.
They spent a lot of effort to dive down, even Shark Flow Lever was hit.
Fang Yuan often encountered rank six or seven level small to mid sized sudden springs, while Heavenly Court faced rank eight level big sudden springs.
Even though Fang Yuan met many obstacles and was often obstructed by the sudden springs, Heavenly Court's group was more like a bunch of sick people climbing a mountain. Their encounters were clearly contrasted, Heavenly Court's members had dark expressions, they felt deeply vexed, wanting to spit blood in anger.
"It seems that Feng Jiu Ge is not part of the group." Fang Yuan had a realization.
In the battle of Lang Ya, Fang Yuan saw how strong Feng Jiu Ge's luck was, he could not suppress the latter.
If he was here, Heavenly Court would not face such troubles now.
Without much danger, Fang Yuan managed to get out of the sudden spring river segment.
Behind him, Shark Flow Lever and Three Autumn Yellow Crane Platform were already far behind, only Eternal Yacht could barely catch up with him, it had left the sudden spring river segment as well.
Without obstacles now, Eternal Yacht's speed rose, it reduced the distance between Fang Yuan and itself.
"I cannot escape like this!" Fang Yuan's eyes shined with lightning, he made up his mind and stopped to face the enemy.
Seeing that Fang Yuan was not escaping, Eternal Yacht's Gu Immortals were overjoyed, but soon, they exposed wary expressions full of alertness.
Xun Guo Zi shouted: "Everyone, be careful, the demon is fighting instead of running, he must have some vicious plans!"
She had just spoken when Fang Yuan's killer move activated.
Immortal killer move — Time Cutting Edge!
This move was still rank seven level, but Fang Yuan's time path dao marks amplified it to a hundred times of its power, at the same time, it was inside the River of Time, its power rose to nearly rank eight.
At once, the leader, rank eight Gu Immortal Qing Ye, sensed a fatal threat, his hair was standing on ends, his heart shrunk as he quickly dodged.
But time cutting edge was too fast, even faster than five finger fist heart sword, the moment Fang Yuan used it, it had already reached Qing Ye.
Eternal Yacht had its defenses of course, but time cutting edge was thin as paper, it easily penetrated it!
"Isn't this move lost in history? How can he use it! Am I going to die here?!" Instantly, Qing Ye was filled with shock as he fell into deep despair.
"Let me!" At the dangerous moment, Xun Guo Zi jumped out, standing in front of Qing Ye.
Crack!
Xun Guo Zi's body shook intensely, she was hit by time cutting edge, her eyes stared widely as she fell down on the deck.
"Huff huff!" Qing Ye breathed roughly, he was covered in sweat, having barely kept his life.
"Xun Guo Zi…" Qing Ye's expression was pale as he showed a deeply moved expression.
The other three Xunzi looked at each other with calm expressions.
They thought: Xun Guo Zi blocked the blade for Qing Ye and died for him, it was definitely worth it to gain the favor of this rank eight Gu Immortal.
"Lord Qing Ye, don't worry about it. We have a unique method to revive our sister." Shang Xunzi smiled and expressed his sincerity.
But Qing Ye shook his head, showing a grim expression: "I can somewhat understand the profundities behind your method. I am afraid it will not work this time."
The three Xunzi were shocked, they asked: "Lord, what do you mean? Please explain it to us."
"This is Bo clan's killer move, it had once threatened the whole of Central Continent, it is called time cutting edge." Qing Ye said with a complex expression, unable to conceal his fear.
1
"What?"
""There is such a move!"
The three Xunzi's expressions changed, they all started to tremble as they became fearful and panicky, no longer as calm as before.
"No, impossible, isn't this move gone already?" Shang Xunzi shook his head, refusing to believe Qing Ye.
"But the truth is so, stop chasing him." Qing Ye breathed in deeply with a pale expression.
"Lord!" The remaining rank seven Gu Immortals shouted, Fang Yuan was right in front of them, it was a great chance to kill this demon, they would gain an incredible amount of contribution credits! If they let him go, they would definitely be reprimanded and punished.
But Qing Ye made up his mind.
"Among the three Immortal Gu Houses, Eternal Yacht is the fastest but has the weakest defense. You've all seen how time cutting edge could not be blocked!"
"If we pursue him, as long as Fang Yuan kills us one by one, he will gain this Eternal Yacht instead. Plus, even though I have a phantom aperture, you all have a lifetime of accumulation, we cannot give them all to this demon."
If at this moment, other than Eternal Yacht, the other Immortal Gu Houses were around, Qing Ye might pursue him.
But right now, if they chased after him, there would not be any chance of victory.

Chapter 1634: Attack and Defend
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Huff…" Fang Yuan let out a breath of air and suddenly opened his eyes.
This was an underground cave, there were dim flames lighting the walls, creating a natural formation. Even though it was not strong, it could alert him.
Fang Yuan was ambushed by Heavenly Court in the River of Time, he had fought desperately for a way out after an intense struggle.
After getting away from Qing Ye and the rest, Fang Yuan followed the tributary of the River of Time and got to the outside world of Southern Border.
Southern Border was the headquarters of Shadow Sect, Purple Mountain True Monarch had set up many eerie fire caves at many locations. Fang Yuan used Fixed Immortal Travel to randomly go into one and rest, recovering from the fight.
Even though he had reverse flow protection seal, he was not using it the entire time, he had to rely on winter coat. Let alone the battle with Li Huang, just during his escape, Fang Yuan was hit by the three Immortal Gu Houses multiple times, his injuries were not light.
Fang Yuan inspected his sovereign immortal body before standing up slowly.
After a few days of recovery, he had already healed. Most importantly, because the sovereign immortal body had non-conflicting dao marks, his healing effects were very effective.
His rank eight white litchi immortal essence had also increased, but it was still in the red zone.
Fang Yuan paced around in the cave with his arms behind his back. While considering the situation, his frown got deeper.
This time, he had suffered greatly in the River of Time. It was no exaggeration to say that he had 'barely survived'.
Fang Yuan did not feel much fear or joy, such a case was within his expectations.
Heavenly Court's foundation was simply too deep!
Fang Yuan's growth was simply nothing compared to the long history of Heavenly Court.
With such immense foundation, they only had to put in some effort to give Fang Yuan huge problems. The battle in the River of Time was a good affirmation to this.
Earlier, Fang Yuan had an advantage against Heavenly Court, it was because he sneak attacked and caught them unprepared. Because he was able to stay hidden, Heavenly Court could not do anything. Fang Yuan had always been exerting all his effort and using all his time to grow stronger and make Heavenly Court's plans fail each time.
But as Heavenly Court learned more about Fang Yuan, they placed more emphasis on him, when it finally came to a frontal assault, Fang Yuan's strength was just too little.
Heavenly Court was not just strong in foundation, the biggest advantage was their unified mindset.
Southern Border's righteous path also had immense strength, but all of the clans were focused on their individual benefits, they could not effectively deal with Fang Yuan.
But Heavenly Court had always been pressuring Fang Yuan.
If not for his schemes and plots, any other demonic path Gu Immortal would have been captured or killed already.
As time passes, Heavenly Court's arrangements in the River of Time would get more elaborate, the chances of getting Red Lotus' true inheritance would become slimmer.
Against such a strong enemy, what could Fang Yuan do?
"I have expended almost all of my white litchi immortal essence."
"Reverse Flow River also has barely any water, Li Huang expended too much of it, I can't use it anymore."
Unlike Dang Hun Mountain and Luo Po Valley which had rank nine killer move orderly well and could be repaired using Landscape as Before rapidly, Reverse Flow River was very different.
Fang Yuan did not lack the methods to restore it, but any method would incur huge costs!
For the foreseeable future, Fang Yuan would not be able to use his reverse flow protection seal anymore.
1
Even without reverse flow protection seal, Fang Yuan had gotten to rank eight and obtained Xia Cha's methods, on the whole, his strength had still risen by quite a lot.
"But this time, I exposed too many methods."
Immemorial year beasts, spring scissors, summer fan, and other killer moves were exposed, they were part of Fang Yuan's plan. But the reveal of time cutting edge was truly a shame.
There was no choice, in that battle, if Fang Yuan did not use this method, he might have died already.
"But I am not without gains."
Fang Yuan also managed to probe Heavenly Court's foundation.
They had a mysterious method to cause the resonance of Spring Autumn Cicada!
Fang Yuan had not expected this.
But now, thinking about it, Fang Yuan could understand that the time path formation in ambush was not targeted at him, but Red Lotus' true inheritance instead.
And Spring Autumn Cicada was the key to opening Red Lotus' true inheritance.
How could Heavenly Court not research Red Lotus' true inheritance using Spring Autumn Cicada as the starting point? Even though they could not refine Spring Autumn Cicada, they could mimic it to a great extent.
"Li Huang, Qing Ye…" New rank eight Gu Immortals showed up.
Heavenly Court ruled Central Continent and could take in rank eight Gu Immortals from the ten great ancient sects as new members. From time to time, a few experienced experts would wake up from the immortal graveyard.
Having been created since the Remote Antiquity Era, all the way until now, nobody knew how deep Heavenly Court's foundation truly was.
Precisely with such foundations, during the five hundred years of Fang Yuan's previous life, Heavenly Court ruled Central Continent and fought against four other regions, for a long time, they held the advantage and even many super clans were destroyed.
Perhaps because of this, even though Spectral Soul managed to defy heaven, he did not dare to attack Heavenly Court directly, he continued to lurk and infiltrate it slowly.
"And those three Immortal Gu Houses… no, the one I destroyed earlier did not lose many Immortal Gu, even if they were destroyed, Heavenly Court could still refine it. I am afraid that next time, I will have to face four or more Immortal Gu Houses!"
Rank eight time path Gu Immortals were not easily found, even for Heavenly Court.
But time path Immortal Gu Houses could be assembled using parts of other Immortal Gu Houses, or using Immortal Gu that various Gu Immortals had in their possession or inventory.
After assembling these time path Immortal Gu Houses, Heavenly Court could place a large number of Gu Immortals from different paths inside, allowing them to seal off the entire River of Time.
Any plan of luring the enemy away would not work.
Heavenly Court was the number one grotto-heaven in the five regions, there was no concerns over its safety. Even if Fang Yuan attacked Heavenly Court directly, not only would he be unable to find the entrance, even if he got in, he would incur Heavenly Court's wrath, a few rank eight great experts from the immortal graveyard could wake up and take his life.
And if Fang Yuan attacked the ten great ancient sects, he would not be able to topple Heavenly Court's rule either, and it was extremely risky to do so. After all, they had the wisdom path great expert Fairy Zi Wei.
Fang Yuan's gaze was cold as ice, he knew clearly that to find Red Lotus' true inheritance, he would need to face off against Heavenly Court!
The more defenses Heavenly Court placed in the River of Time, the more important Red Lotus' true inheritance was, and the greater Fang Yuan's hope to destroy fate Gu rested in it.
"I need to be fast!"
Heavenly Court had all sorts of methods, they might find Red Lotus' true inheritance before him. Thus, he needed to get past their layers of defense into the stone lotus island before Heavenly Court succeeds, and obtain the most crucial things left by Red Lotus Demon Venerable.
As for what they were, Fang Yuan had no idea, even Heavenly Court might not know.
Guarding the River of Time was an open scheme by Heavenly Court, because they had the tactical advantage, they were not afraid that Fang Yuan would not come.
Fate Gu was about to recover, Fang Yuan needed to get past Heavenly Court and obtain Red Lotus' true inheritance to have a chance of destroying Fate. Even if he had to take huge risks, even if he had to risk his life, even though there was an ambush, he had to go!
"There are no special tactics or shortcuts, I need to raise my strength and continue to grow, surpassing Heavenly Court's defenses to break through these obstacles and obtain Red Lotus' true inheritance!"
Once Fang Yuan achieves this goal, he would have the qualification and ability to continue challenging Heavenly Court.

Inside the sovereign immortal aperture.
Mini Western Desert.
All the surroundings were covered in a snow-white color. Fang Yuan's time path clone traveled here as he grabbed a handful of sand, looking at it.
The sand particles were all clear as crystal or ice, having a feeling of coldness in them.
Right now, the skies were bright and sunny, Mini Western Desert was quite a warm place, but this desert was very cool and refreshing.
Fang Yuan's clone put a bit of snow-white sand into his mouth, after his saliva came into contact, it melted and gave off a salty taste.
This was salt sand.
In human history, salt sand had a very long story.
A million years ago, during the Olden Antiquity Era, even though humans created Heavenly Court, the other four regions were still filled with strong variant human forces, they enslaved and suppressed humanity.
In Western Desert, there was a human city, it was ostracized and suppressed by the variant humans.
The variant humans joined up and pretended to be bandits, robbing all of the caravans that tried to head to the human city. As time passed, the human city lacked essential resources and was slowly unable to survive.
The human city lord feared for the safety of his people, he had to seek help from a variant human group, marrying his beloved daughter to them in exchange for peace.
The city lord's daughter knew what was more important, for the sake of the humans in the city, she sacrificed herself.
The group soon set off from the city, escorted by the human city lord himself.
While traveling in the desert, they met an old man who had fainted.
The old man was heavily injured and was on the verge of death, his entire body was covered in abscesses, the smell was repulsive. The city lord saw that he was a human, he quickly saved him and gave the old man some clean water.
The old man woke up slowly, he said to the city lord: "Oh city lord, since you saved me, why don't you provide me some more help, give me your robe and steed so that I can leave on my own."
The city lord's subordinates started to laugh, the clothes were so precious, how could they give them to such a lowly beggar?
But the city lord waved his hand: "The value of a robe cannot match a person's life. I have other clothes with me, you can have this. But my steed can only be ridden by a strong Gu Master, if I give it to you, I will be causing you harm."
Saying so, the city lord gave his robe as well as a large amount of water and food to the old man.
Next, the city lord ordered his men to bring over a mild tempered camel to the old man.
The old man sighed deeply: "City lord, I have long heard of your kind reputation, it is truly not a lie. Since you want to do a good deed, why don't you help me fully. The abscesses on my back have been troubling me for years, only a virgin girl who is born in the yin year, yin month and yin day1 can heal me by using her mouth to burst them."
Just as the old man said that, the city lord's subordinates started to rebuke in anger, they wanted to kill this old man.
The city lord was a little angry, because everyone knew that his daughter was a virgin girl born in the yin year, yin month and yin day.
The city lord said: "Old man, stop making fun of me. Even though I am a city lord, I am also a pitiful father. I love my daughter, but I have no choice but to send her to the vicious feathermen, and let her become their slave concubine."
"Father, if my sacrifice can save the entire city, I will accept that fate." At this time, the city lord's daughter arrived. The clamor had drawn her attention, she understood the situation from the description of others.
She walked towards the old man as she nodded: "Old sir, let me see your abscesses."
"You are willing to heal my injury?" The old man asked.
"Yes. Even though I am the city lord's daughter and everyone says I am of noble blood, how noble can I truly be?" The city lord's daughter smiled bitterly: "Only when the entire human race is noble can our statuses truly rise, I have no hope left, I am going to be a slave concubine of the variant humans. In that case, why shouldn't I save you? We humans are too weak now, the recovery of one person is better than nothing."
The city lord and the others heard her words and felt very moved, they did not stop her.
The abscesses on the old man's back were ugly and disgusting, they were filled with pus and had an overbearing smell, people would want to puke upon seeing them.
The city lord's daughter was slightly dazed, but she held in her disgust and used her teeth to burst the abscesses on the old man's back.
Once they burst, a white-silver liquid flowed out.
The liquid landed on the desert and emitted a thick fragrant smell, making the caravan group feel refreshed mentally.
The old man's body vanished, only his voice was left, he said: "Oh city lord, you are a person worthy of my help. Humans cannot just rely on Gu Immortals, you Gu Masters are the hope of the future. I will entrust this desert to you, make good use of it."
The city lord and the rest realized at this moment, the old man was a human Gu Immortal, they quickly knelt on the ground.
And this desert was changed by the white-silver liquid, becoming the snow-white salt sand. After obtaining this huge desert, the city lord sold the salt sand as edible salt, he did not lack revenue and managed to revive his city, becoming stronger in time.
Currently, salt sand was no longer a unique product of Western Desert, it was available in all five regions.
Fang Yuan's sovereign immortal aperture had salt sand too, he had obtained it from annexing a Southern Border Gu Immortal's immortal aperture.
After inspecting it, Fang Yuan's clone gained a deeper understanding of the desert, he returned in satisfaction.
"Right now in treasure yellow heaven, Heavenly Court has started to sell silver dragonfish. They must have gotten the method to produce it from Spectral Soul, in time, golden dragonfish will also appear in the market."
Fang Yuan's dragonfish business was feeling a huge impact.
In the short term, because he had obtained immense market share, his dragonfish still provided huge profits. But he definitely would gradually lose his profits to Heavenly Court.
But it was not a problem, after annexing the Southern Border immortals, the sovereign immortal aperture had gained over ten blessed lands, and even a grotto-heaven.
Forget about salt sand, it was an ordinary Gu material. But he gained a lot of immortal material resources, there were at least five to six resource points that could match the dragonfish business, Xia Cha grotto-heaven's year essence pool was one of them.
Thus, Fang Yuan was still earning a lot of profits, his immortal essence stones were accumulating at a faster pace than before.
Due to his development in the past, he did not lack any food production for the feeding of his Immortal Gu. Even though he obtained some Immortal Gu as loot from battle, he also obtained the respective Gu Immortals' immortal apertures, he completely moved their resource points over to himself.
"The feeding of Immortal Gu still has some flaws, but that is not an issue." The time path clone looked at the salt sand desert one last time before using Fixed Immortal Travel.
1
This salt sand desert was the second last resource point that he visited.
At the next moment, Fang Yuan's clone went to City Well.
Inside City Well, there was already a sizable group of hairy men.
These hairy men were obtained from the immortal apertures of the Southern Border Gu Immortals, almost all of them had a certain number of hairy men raised to refine mortal Gu.
Hairy man slaves were the most popular ones in treasure yellow heaven.
Fang Yuan gathered the hairy men in all these immortal apertures and placed them into City Well to live.
Currently, raising hairy men was most helpful to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan gave some dream path Gu recipes as well as cultivation methods to these hairy men. Their task was to enter their own dream realms and gather dream path materials to refine dream path mortal Gu for Fang Yuan's use.
Fang Yuan's unravel dream killer move expended a lot of dream path mortal Gu.
Earlier, Fang Yuan was exploring dream realms and used up all of his accumulated dream path mortal Gu. If not for these hairy men refining dream path mortal Gu to replenish his supply, Fang Yuan might not have been able to explore all of his dream realms.
Fang Yuan's clone came to City Well as the sky turned dark, even though there was no sun or moon, it seemed to be evening currently.
After Fang Yuan became rank eight, the blessed land became a grotto-heaven, it had astronomical changes now. Because the sovereign immortal aperture had a lot of time path resources, the changes was very precise, almost like the five regions.
Fang Yuan's clone was about to find out the situation of the hairy men when his body froze, a bright light flashed across his eyes: "The main body has already found the location of the Five Xiang's seal!"
Fang Yuan rested in his eerie fire cave for a while before leaving and going to white heaven.
His immortal aperture was well operated, the logistics were clear and orderly, he did not need to waste time in recuperating, his immortal essence storage rose continuously.
He did not want to waste time, he headed to white heaven immediately. Right now, the Five Xiang's seal was opening, the ancient bet was undergoing again!

Immemorial white heaven.
A tall gatehouse suddenly emerged in the sky that was originally empty.
The gatehouse had a tall roof and two statues at the side of the gate. There was a huge plaque above the gate, writing the words 'Five Xiang's Bet Entrance'.
The entire gatehouse seemed to be made of bronze, it radiated a majestic aura. Initially, it was only a phantom image, but as time passed, it became solid and clearer.
Qi clan had six Gu Immortals in total, they were all standing outside the gatehouse now, waiting for it to materialize entirely.
1
The leader was an old Gu Immortal, he had a thin body but strong spirits, his eyes radiated with brilliance, he stood up straight like a spear. He was Qi clan's first supreme elder Qi Fa.
On his left was Qi clan's second supreme elder Qi Cai, he stroked his beard as he said: "I have experienced many openings of the seal, but this time, I feel very impatient, I almost cannot wait!"
Third supreme elder Qi Jin laughed: "This bet has been going on for thousands of years, we are finally going to end it today. As descendants of Qi clan, we can proudly face our ancestors, we are the eventual victors of this bet!"
As they spoke, the gatehouse formed fully, a huge area of clouds gathered to hold up this gatehouse.
The door started to shine in five colors, representing the strength of the Five Xiangs.
First, red light shined down, causing the clouds to turn bright red.
This was Xue Xiang's Xue clan, because they cultivated blood path, they had been wiped out. Thus, after the red light shined around the place, it faded away.
Next was yellow light.
It was Chi Xiang's Chi clan, even though they had descendants, because they lived in the immortal apertures of their ancestors and did not work hard, they were living like livestock, not a single Gu Immortal emerged from among them.
Next, a brown light appeared.
Ni Xiang's Ni clan had Gu Immortals in the past, even though the numbers were small, they were all elites. Especially Ni Er, someone deduced that his refinement path attainment level was at the point of quasi-supreme grandmaster! He was the one who fused Immortal Gu into the bloodline of Ni clan members, he wanted to assist his descendants but right now, Ni clan's villages were controlled by Qi clan, they could not win.
1
After the brown light came white light.
"Our turn." Qi Cai became very alert, he could not wait anymore.
"Let's go." Qi Fa said with a firm tone, he led the four Gu Immortals behind him as they went to the gatehouse, bathing in the white light.
The white light flickered for a moment as it got stronger, sweeping around the five Qi clan Gu Immortals' bodies as it returned to its original intensity, continuing to shine.
1
But Qi clan's Gu Immortals were all here already.
Without any additional descendant of Qi Xiang, the white light faded away.
There was a white light spiraling above the heads of the five Qi clan Gu Immortals, they had passed the test of the Five Xiang's seal, they were qualified to enter for the bet.
"Bai clan is the last one." Qi Jin spoke, unable to conceal his nervousness.
Qi clan's Gu Immortals were all above the clouds, they had not entered the door yet, they were alert and looked around.
They knew of the existence of Bai Ning Bing.
Bai Ning Bing had inherited Bai Xiang grotto-heaven, she even learned the immortal killer move Bai Xiang, displaying great power in a few battles.
Heavenly Court had exposed intel on Fang Yuan, that involved the Shadow Sect members as well. Even though Bai Ning Bing was not part of Shadow Sect, her information was also exposed.
Even though Qi clan was secluded and did not mix with the circles of Gu Immortals, they still had their collection of information regarding the outside world.
Blue light shined for a while but nobody showed up, it was about to weaken and fade away.
Qi Cai let out a breath of air: "Good, Bai Ning Bing did not show up. Our Qi Cai will definitely win…. hmm!"
He had just spoken when two figures approached at a rapid speed, in the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of the gatehouse.
Qi clan's Gu Immortals looked over and saw a boy and a girl.
The girl had silvery hair that flowed down to her waist. Her pale blue dragon eyes emitting a cold aura to the outside world. Her skin was white as snow, her expression was cold, her beauty was simply divine. And the most eye-catching thing was the pair of small coral-like dragon horns on her forehead.
Seeing this female immortal, Qi clan's Gu Immortals all thought of a name — Bai Ning Bing.
"Bai Ning Bing came after all, damn it!"
"Who is that beside her?"
Qi Jin first noticed Bai Ning Bing before turning his gaze towards the other Gu Immortal.
This Gu Immortal was a young man with similarly long hair that was black and smooth, he had a sharp and tall nose, his face was extremely exquisite, his eyes were deep like the abyss, resembling the darkness that existed since the beginning of time, able to devour anything in its way.
Seeing this young looking Gu Immortal, Qi Jin shook like he had been hit by lightning, his heart turned cold, he gulped as he said in a hoarse voice with great difficulty: "Fang, Fang Yuan…"
He was already the most composed one, the Qi clan Gu Immortals around him were shaking, their legs were trembling as they had sweat pouring down their foreheads.
Bai Ning Bing was Fang Yuan's henchman, the five regions' Gu Immortals knew that.
If Bai Ning Bing appeared and participated in the Five Xiang's bet, Fang Yuan was likely to come too.
Qi clan had known this and were mentally prepared for it before coming here.
However!
When Fang Yuan truly appeared in front of them, they found that their mental preparations were all in vain. Fear, panic, chaos, all sorts of emotions filled their hearts, they felt like they had fallen into an icy river.
This was Fang Yuan!
He had been reborn using Spring Autumn Cicada.
Refining an Immortal Gu on Three Kings Mountain as a mortal, snatching Hu Immortal blessed land from the Central Continent ten great ancient sects.
He went to Northern Plains and destroyed Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, nobody knew how great his gains were.
He inherited a true inheritance of Thieving Heaven and cooperated with Lang Ya blessed land and the other variant humans, becoming a traitor of humans.
He disguised as Wu Yi Hai and deceived Wu Yong like a fool.
During the dream realm battle, he toyed with the entire righteous path of Southern Border and became the leader of Shadow Sect.
Southern Border's righteous path chased after him and Heavenly Court hunted him, but he remained free and got stronger and stronger.
At the regional wall, he fought against the rank eight Gu Immortal Thunder Ghost True Monarch as a rank seven and pummeled her, leading to a fall in Heavenly Court's reputation.
When Lang Ya blessed land was invaded by Heavenly Court, he stole Fixed Immortal Travel and left freely!
Several months ago, he ambushed Southern Border's righteous path and kidnapped many Southern Border Gu Immortals, extorting all the super forces.
Not long ago, Heavenly Court had distributed the intel in treasure yellow heaven, the battle in the River of Time had been exposed. The entire world of the five regions was shocked! Fang Yuan had become a rank eight Gu Immortal silently, obtaining killer moves like spring scissors, summer fan, and five finger fist heart sword, most amazingly, he even had the long lost method, time cutting edge.
Seeing that his intel was exposed, Fang Yuan returned the favor and exposed all of Heavenly Court's methods as well.
The Gu Immortal world was in a huge commotion!
Heavenly Court's foundation and methods were shocking.
But the scarier thing was, Fang Yuan managed to escape regardless.
Heavenly Court had set up a super time path formation in the River of Time, there were multiple rank eights and many Immortal Gu Houses, but they could not do anything to Fang Yuan!
Even though Fang Yuan lost, in fact running away like a dog, after this battle was exposed, his reputation soared and left a deep impression in everyone's hearts.
Not only because of his schemes and ferocity, but also due to his opponent being Heavenly Court.
It was created since the Remote Antiquity Era, Heavenly Court which had three million years of history and had withstood the multiple invasions of various Demon Venerables, the number one human force created since the beginning of human history!
After so long, this Heavenly Court could actually do nothing to a demonic path Gu Immortal?!
1
This was a really rarely seen situation.
Even throughout the entire history of Heavenly Court, it was rarely seen.
Countless Gu Immortals and super forces were watching, waiting to see how Heavenly Court would capture Fang Yuan. How long could Fang Yuan really last?
Because of all these emotions, Fang Yuan's reputation was at its peak.
Rank seven Fang Yuan could resist rank eight.
Rank eight Fang Yuan was the king of demonic immortals, shaking the world!
1
He had grown like a shooting star, the speed was simply unthinkable. This meteor was currently like the blazing sun, he was bright and dazzling, countless people could not even look up at him.
Demon King Fang Yuan!
1
Qi clan's Gu Immortals started trembling even more fiercely, Fang Yuan's mere entrance had already intimidated all these people.
His demonic might was unstoppable.

"Everyone, don't panic." Qi Fa said in a dry voice. His tall body was like a bamboo in the wind, wavering slightly.
Nobody laughed.
Qi clan had three rank seven and two rank six Gu Immortals, they were not Fang Yuan's match even if they joined up. They were meat on the chopping block, they were completely defenseless.
After Qi Fa spoke, he mustered his courage and continued: "We have already obtained the acknowledgement of the gatehouse, we can explore that grotto-heaven, we are also protected by the gatehouse. If Fang Yuan wants to kill us, he will need to pass the gatehouse, but if he destroys it, he will break the rules of the bet and would not reach the other side."
Qi Fa's words calmed everyone down.
Fang Yuan looked at Qi Fa with slight surprise as he smiled, praising: "He is quite smart."
Qi Fa's words were said to Qi clan's Gu Immortals, but was also meant for Fang Yuan. Qi clan was able to become the eventual winner of the Five Xiang's bet, it was not without reason. These last years, Qi clan had developed while suppressing or enslaving the other four clans, they also kept a low profile and hid themselves deeply. Even Southern Border's righteous path did not know or attempt to find the Five Xiang's treasure, this was due to Qi clan's abilities.
But no matter how amazing they were, against Fang Yuan, they were doomed to fail.
Fang Yuan's smile was terrifying in their eyes, his pearly white teeth were like sharp daggers aiming at them.
Fang Yuan took a look at Qi clan's Gu Immortals before looking over at Bai Ning Bing.
Both of them had already negotiated earlier, Bai Ning Bing nodded at Fang Yuan before flying towards the gatehouse.
Qi clan's Gu Immortals were slightly stirred, but they could do nothing but watch.
Once Bai Ning Bing entered the blue light, this icy light shook for a moment before stabilizing.
Fang Yuan nodded to himself, he was afraid earlier that Bai Ning Bing's dragonman status would affect it, after all, dragonmen were variant humans and were not traditional humans. But now, it seemed that the gatehouse only cared about Bai Ning Bing's bloodline, regardless of her status as human or variant human.
After a few breaths of time, Bai Ning Bing gained the acknowledgement of the gatehouse and was sent up into the clouds by a formless and mild force.
Qi clan's Gu Immortals had flickering gazes, they all showed a look of regret.
"It seems that Bai Ning Bing is not under Fang Yuan's enslavement, otherwise, the gatehouse would not acknowledge her."
"It is a pity…"
"Damn it, Bai Ning Bing was allowed to enter the world beyond the gatehouse too!"
Bai Ning Bing was found by Old Man Yan Shi last time, but she was never enslaved, all they did was cooperate.
After joining Fang Yuan, Bai Ning Bing was not targeted by Fang Yuan's enslavement methods either.
This was all due to this gatehouse.
Bai Ning Bing landed on the cloud and inspected the area, before saying to Fang Yuan: "Getting onto the clouds would be the same as getting the gatehouse's acknowledgement, Gu Immortals cannot fight each other here."
"Okay." A bright light flashed in Fang Yuan's eyes, seeing his following actions, Qi clan's Gu Immortals all gasped in shock.
Fang Yuan actually flew towards the blue light.
The blue light flickered for a moment before stabilizing.
Even though Fang Yuan was in his original appearance, he had activated immortal killer move familiar face already. He had modified this move, adding in blood path Immortal Gu to disguise his own bloodline. Initially, he had used this against Wu clan, disguising as Wu Yi Hai and mixing into the righteous path.
But before Fang Yuan got happy, the four other lights appeared on the gatehouse.
These four lights represented the power of the other four Xiangs.
Fang Yuan was slightly surprised, earlier, he had allowed Bai Ning Bing to enter first in order to inspect the blue light. After he flew in, he managed to deceive the blue light, but to think that the other four Xiangs unleashed their power.
Boom!
The gatehouse shook, Fang Yuan was pushed out of the light by a strong force.
"Familiar face cannot deceive it?" Fang Yuan's heart shook slightly.
Heaven Surveying Five Xiangs!
This strong force that had once taken leadership of Southern Border's Gu Immortal world had displayed its immense power.
Qi clan's Gu Immortals all sighed in huge relief, great joy appeared on their faces.
Fang Yuan's actions were simply too shocking, but this result was the best for them.
"So close, Fang Yuan could not get in!"
"We have hope! This way, Fang Yuan is kept outside, we only need to deal with Bai Ning Bing."
"Her Bai Xiang killer move is troublesome, but our Qi Xiang true inheritance is not weak either."
Fang Yuan focused as he looked at the gatehouse.
Indeed, he had underestimated the gatehouse. Or rather, Shadow Sect and Bai Ning Bing's information was not sufficient regarding this gatehouse.
To deceive it, familiar face was not enough.
Fang Yuan did not want Bai Ning Bing to explore it alone.
She was unreliable, and even if she was reliable, she could not deal with Qi clan's Gu Immortals alone.
Even though Fang Yuan had encountered an obstacle earlier, his determination to get in had not wavered.
"Qi Xiang, Bai Xiang, Xue Xiang, Ni Xiang, Chi Xiang, these are the Heaven Surveying Five Xiangs. This gatehouse was created by all five of them, their power was fused into one."
Fang Yuan went into rapid contemplation.
Qi Xiang, Bai Xiang, Xue Xiang, Ni Xiang, and Chi Xiang; they were in qi path, ice path, blood path, earth path, and food path respectively.
1
Fang Yuan had high attainment in blood path and earth path, he was confident.
In terms of food path, even though his attainment level was not high, Fang Yuan had Spectral Soul's true inheritance, it contained the original food path inheritance in this world. With such a foundation, Fang Yuan had an immensely deep amount of information to work with.
His qi path and ice path attainment levels were very low. But ice path was not a problem, he had Bai Ning Bing's Bai Xiang true inheritance that was used to deceive the blue light already.
"So, my only obstacle is Qi Xiang's power." Divine brilliance flashed in Fang Yuan's eyes.
Fang Yuan did not have qi path attainment level or sufficient qi path inheritances, because it was already on the decline for a long time.
"No issue, I have the light of wisdom."
Fang Yuan wanted to use the light of wisdom to force his way through!
Qi clan's Gu Immortals conversed.
"What is he doing?"
"He seems to be deducing… didn't Heavenly Court announce it, this demon has very extraordinary wisdom path methods."
"Hehe, it is useless, how can he deduce the Five Xiang's arrangements in such a short time?"
Qi clan's Gu Immortals were very confident about this.
They had tried to break the power of the Five Xiangs long ago, but they had no success. This was the failure of generations of Gu Immortals that had tried time and time again.
They had failed too many times against the Five Xiang's seal, how could Fang Yuan possibly succeed?
"Or maybe Fang Yuan's wisdom path methods are above us. But he is simply dreaming if he wants to deduce it now. This difficulty is like deducing an unknown immortal killer move that he has just seen for the first time in battle, he needs to deduce and unravel it. He is too naive!" Qi Fa shook his head, as he said that, his courage appeared again, his fear was fading.
Boom!
At the next moment, Fang Yuan attacked the gatehouse.
The gate shook intensely, the expressions of Qi clan's Gu Immortals also changed.
"This, this, this!"
"The demon attacked, he actually attacked the gatehouse. He wants to destroy the teleportation entrance, does he not want to enter?"
"He failed the deduction so he got angry instead?!"
Bam bam bam…
As Fang Yuan attacked fiercely, the entire gatehouse started to shake. Qi clan's Gu Immortals also shook as their footing became unstable, they were like candles in the wind.
Shock and fear was shown on their faces, some even began to tremble.
Once the gatehouse gets destroyed, they would lose their protection, it would be up to Fang Yuan whether he wants to kill or capture them.
"It must hold against him!" Qi clan's Gu Immortals were all praying in their hearts.
Fang Yuan gradually stopped attacking.
Qi clan's Gu Immortals breathed roughly, they were all wet with sweat. The feeling of almost dying was too terrible, they had never been so nervous.
But eventually, the gatehouse still remained standing.
"The demon did not succeed, great!" Qi Jin cheered, while the other Qi clan Gu Immortals had joyful expressions on their faces.
Fang Yuan glanced at them as he showed a mocking smile: "Oh? Why do you think I stopped?"
Saying so, he activated an immortal killer move, there was no flashy light or commotion, his entire body's aura underwent a profound and mystical change.
Next, Fang Yuan landed and bathed in the blue light, easily gaining its acknowledgement and landing beside Bai Ning Bing.
Qi clan's Gu Immortals were all dumbfounded, some opened their mouths and froze like statues.
Shock was expressed on their faces, some beliefs in their minds had been completely shattered by Fang Yuan's success!
"This, this demon actually succeeded!"
"This must be a dream! How can this be?"
"How could he succeed in such a short period of time?"
Qi clan's Gu Immortals felt incredibly confused, before a strong cold feeling entered their hearts.
Fang Yuan's battle strength was ridiculously high, but his wisdom path attainment was even beyond the understanding of the Qi clan Gu Immortals.
Such a monster made even Heavenly Court without options. How could they deal with him?
"Gatehouse! Oh ancestor! This Fang Yuan is an outsider, he cheated!!" Qi Cai screamed, his face was full of fear and also anger.
But the gatehouse was silent, the Five Xiang's seal started to gather power. Soon, a strong aura emerged from the gatehouse as five lights started to shine brightly.
Qi clan's Gu Immortals saw this as their faces turned to despair.
They knew that the gatehouse had activated not because it exposed Fang Yuan's identity, but because the teleportation was beginning.

Chapter 1638: Ultimate Treasure of the Bet
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The glaring light faded gradually.
Fang Yuan looked around, the environment had changed, he was already inside the small world past the gatehouse.
Bai Ning Bing was beside him, their distance was the same as before the teleportation.
Suddenly, Bai Ning Bing's expression changed, mysterious information was transmitted into her mind. She looked at Fang Yuan, seeing that he was completely expressionless, she hesitated for a moment before saying: "This is a public grotto-heaven, the Heaven Surveying Five Xiangs had once donated a portion of their grotto-heavens each to form this place. The entire grotto-heaven has five segments, they are not directly connected to each other, only the most central mountain range is shared among the five. The treasure of this bet is at the center of the grotto-heaven, as long as a Gu Immortal is acknowledged by the gatehouse and is teleported inside here, they can go after the treasure. Along the way, the Heaven Surveying Five Xiangs have also set up some resources, stronger experts can try to take them away, but it is recommended that they do not take everything, so as to allow the resources to grow again in the future."
Bai Ning Bing obtained this information, but Fang Yuan did not.
"It seems that even though I used the light of wisdom to deduce a killer move and disguise my identity, it was too roughly made in a rush."
Fang Yuan had a deep gaze as he looked afar: "This means that we are very far from Qi clan's Gu Immortals, and our areas are not connected. After disguising as a Bai Xiang descendant, I can only move about in this Bai Xiang grotto-heaven region?"
Fang Yuan wanted to try using Fixed Immortal Travel, but he did not know the appearance of Qi Xiang's territory.
He had once killed Qi clan's Qi Zai, but this person only became a Gu Immortal in the last thousand years, he did not enter this place or have any memories of it.
"According to my experience of getting past that gatehouse's inspection, this place has a very strict level of defense, space path methods are likely to be restricted. I am afraid that even if I use Fixed Immortal Travel, there is a low possibility of success."
Fang Yuan looked at the situation now, soon, he made up his mind.
"Let's go to the center!"
The entire public grotto-heaven had five areas, they were all connected to the center which contained the ultimate treasure of this bet. In that case, Fang Yuan would directly target it, he did not need to find Qi clan's Gu Immortals. Not only would he waste time, he might not be able to find them after all.
Once they got to the mountain range, they would meet Qi clan's Gu Immortals anyway.
Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing flew rapidly, crossing mountains and valleys.
Bai Xiang cultivated ice and snow path, this area was contributed by Bai Xiang grotto-heaven, thus even though there were mountains and valleys here, they were covered in thick snow, it was a field of white.
"Look there!" Bai Ning Bing suddenly said.
She was looking at a mountain, it was extremely steep and dangerous, at the peak, there were a hundred ice mirror snow lotuses growing.
This was a rank six immortal material containing ice path and wood path dao marks.
Near the snow lotus, there were many snow monsters and even desolate level snow monsters. If anyone went there and wanted to get the ice mirror snow lotuses, these snow monsters would stop them.
In fact, Fang Yuan had discovered it long ago, he only took a glance before flying away with Bai Ning Bing.
Even though these desolate level snow monsters were not his match, Fang Yuan did not want to waste time here, he headed straight for the center of the public grotto-heaven!
Ice mirror snow lotus, hundred years profound ice, thousand years profound ice, mystical frost water, heaven craft divine jade… along the way, Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing saw many resource points, even though they were small to mid sized resource points, they had plentiful storage.
The deeper they went, the more valuable the resource points in the grotto-heaven. Of course, the beasts or plants defending them were also increasingly stronger. The Five Xiangs had specially created this arrangement to test their descendants.
Even though Fang Yuan's current strength was enough to sweep through everything, he ignored these small benefits in front of him, his mind was completely on the center of the mountain range.
Howl—!
Howling of beasts could be heard continuously as they emerged from the valleys to attack Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing.
They were jade frost antelopes.
The large ones were huge like palaces, the small ones were the size of three houses, their eyes were fully jade green in color without irises. Their horns curled upwards, even without wings, they could float and travel in the air. Each time they jumped, their hooves would emit white frost that would produce a clear chiming sound.
These jade frost antelopes appeared very peculiarly, Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing's expressions quickly changed.
Fang Yuan snorted as he waved his hand, grabbing a fan that appeared out of nowhere.
Immortal killer move — Summer Fan!
Whoosh!
Summer fan whipped up strong winds that turned into tornadoes, they resembled winds but were actually filled with time path's power.
The beasts that approached with a great momentum were engulfed by the winds and rapidly died. Their corpses fell from the sky like dumplings, crashing onto the snow and creating loud noises.
This large group of jade frost antelopes died in an instant, not just that, Fang Yuan's fan also caused the snow mountain below him to crumble, creating a huge crater filled with rocks.
Fang Yuan flew down rapidly, slamming down as the rocks scattered.
He looked at a huge rock wall and inspected the aura on it, his expression turning cold.
There was a Gu formation here that Fang Yuan destroyed, it had the style of qi path.
"It seems that the restriction of five independent regions cannot restrict those Gu Immortals from Qi clan." Fang Yuan said to Bai Ning Bing.
Bai Ning Bing nodded: "Understandable, they have already been coming here so many times, they must have a deep understanding of the place. A lot of the Five Xiangs' restrictions cannot stop them anymore. This also means that our journey is not going to be smooth."
Fang Yuan smiled coldly: "Qi clan's Gu Immortals are trying to obstruct us, they must be trying to delay for time to obtain the treasure first. We will not stay here, we will move rapidly."
The two continued to fly, along the way, as Bai Ning Bing had expected, many beast groups obstructed them.
But these beast groups were all slaughtered easily by Fang Yuan's methods, they could barely delay his advancement.
"Fang Yuan's methods are truly terrifying! Our beast tides are simply thin as paper!"
"No, he is simply killing them like killing ants, this is too scary."
"They are coming, they are near the central mountain range!"
"Don't panic, there is a layer of defense at the mountain range, there is an immemorial desolate beast there."
3
"The defenses were broken through, Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing are arriving!"
Qi clan's Gu Immortals continued to converse, the atmosphere was tense, when Fang Yuan arrived, Qi clan's Gu Immortals were all panicking, their nervousness could be felt from afar.
The area that stored the treasure was very obvious, Fang Yuan could see it the moment he entered the central mountain range.
At the peak of the highest mountain, there was a palace, it was decorated in the same style as the gatehouse.
This was an Immortal Gu House!
Fang Yuan successfully got into the Immortal Gu House, he saw that at the center of the hall, there were five Qi clan Gu Immortals sitting around the ultimate treasure.
Next, his gaze turned towards the treasure of the bet.
This mysterious treasure was a white crane.
This white crane has one leg, it was covered in snow-white feathers that had no dust or dirt on it. Its long beak was red in color, its wings were tucked in as its eyes were shut tight.
Fang Yuan's brows furrowed rapidly, he could tell that this white crane was extraordinary.
It was not a real living being, it was also not an Immortal Gu, yet it emitted a rank nine aura!
"Amazing!" Fang Yuan laughed: "So the ultimate treasure of the bet is a rank nine killer move!"
Fang Yuan's laughter made the Qi clan Gu Immortals shudder.
They were fearful and also furious.
Qi clan had painstakingly protected this ultimate treasure of the Five Xiangs bet, but an outsider was here now trying to take it!
Qi clan has already treated the treasure as their possession. Fang Yuan wanted to take it, it meant that the great animosity between Qi clan and Fang Yuan was unresolvable.
Fang Yuan's gaze was cold, he did not speak, he pointed his finger as a sword light flew out, attacking a Qi clan Gu Immortal.
The five Qi clan Gu Immortals had instilled their wills into the white crane killer move, they did not move and allowed the sword light to approach them.
At the crucial moment, the five lights of the hall shined as the sword light was dispelled soundlessly.
"As expected." Fang Yuan felt no surprise.
This hall could gather the power of the entire public grotto-heaven, it was also the place where the Five Xiang's seal was the strongest. With this power overseeing the area, Fang Yuan and Qi clan's Gu Immortals could not fight each other.
Of course, Fang Yuan could act forcefully, but he had to suppress the Heaven Surveying Five Xiangs' power, he would also cause great damage to the entire public grotto-heaven.
"No wonder Qi clan's Gu Immortals are not moving! But since they have the qualification to refine this ultimate treasure, so can I!" Bai Ning Bing had her own thoughts, she got close to the killer move.
Next, she mimicked the five Gu Immortals from Qi clan as she sent her own will into it.
The five Qi clan Gu Immortals had nervous expressions while Bai Ning Bing's body shook, she shouted to Fang Yuan: "Hurry up!"
Even without her reminder, Fang Yuan had already arrived beside her, he instilled his will into the killer move as he understood the entire situation.
At the same time, some information originating from Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable also entered his mind!
"People of the future, I am Ben Jie Sun, also known as Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable."
"When exploring the immemorial white heaven, I by chance found a mysterious existence, it was like the heavenly spirit of a grotto-heaven. It was incredibly agile, I only managed to capture it after spending a lot of effort. After researching it, I found that it was incredibly profound, it involved the deepest mysteries of this world. It corresponded with the details in the latter half of The Legends of Ren Zu."
"I temporarily named it the natural heavenly spirit, it could not be brought out of white heaven or placed into one's grotto-heaven. It was filled with heaven's will that was constantly replenished at all times. Even I could not use my human will to refine it forcefully."
"After thinking long and hard, I found a solution, I forcefully condensed it and created an immortal killer move, I called it — Heaven Form!"

Chapter 1639: Contest Over Heaven Form
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Heaven form?!" Fang Yuan was surprised, but soon understood what happened.
Everything was clear now.
Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable was an otherworldly demon, he was skilled in space path and created theft path, he also had great ability in refinement path.
His entire life was dedicated to finding a way to leave the Gu Master world and return to his homeland.
He was the richest venerable, he searched for immortal materials all around the world and refined many Immortal Gu. He had also traveled the most, having explored almost the entire five regions and two heavens.
One day when exploring white heaven, he by chance found a mystical existence, after searching on it, he named it natural heavenly spirit.
Even with his Demon Venerable strength, he could not refine the natural heavenly spirit.
It was not hard to understand this.
According to Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable's words, this natural heavenly spirit could not be brought out of immemorial white heaven, and inside white heaven, it was replenished by heaven's will endlessly. When Gu Immortals refine Immortal Gu, they have to use their own will to get rid of the wild will in the Immortal Gu, eventually refining it into their tool.
Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable wanted to refine the natural heavenly spirit, even though the steps were different, in essence it was the same. The Demon Venerable's will was strong, but against the natural heavenly spirit filled with heaven's will, that was constantly replenished, he could not succeed.
Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable failed but was not dejected, man was the spirit of all living beings, he found a method, that was to combine the heavenly spirit with other Gu worms to form a rank nine immortal killer move.
This made Fang Yuan think of the ghostly concealment killer move that he had, it was also a rank nine killer move. It was paired with divine concealment, even though Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable had used it long ago, these two moves still remained until now.
This seemed to be a specialty of Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable.
The problem was, even if Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable found a way to turn the natural heavenly spirit into a rank nine immortal killer move heaven form, he could not manipulate or use it.
Because he did not manage to refine the natural heavenly spirit.
But this was part of Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable's plan, he knew that he could not refine the natural heavenly spirit in a short period of time, therefore he turned the heavenly spirit into an immortal killer move.
This way, the natural heavenly spirit would be replenished with heaven's will at a far lower rate.
After Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable created heaven form, he did not use it. Before he vanished mysteriously, he left behind many Thieving Heaven true inheritances, he did not forget heaven form either.
"Heaven form killer move has not been truly refined, I cannot complete it alone, it needs a long period of time and generations of wills to cleanse. One day, it will be truly refined by a Gu Immortal, by then, it would be usable."
Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable also said that even though he left this killer move behind, it could not be controlled and was not a Thieving Heaven true inheritance, it needed more work from people in the future, it was only half a Thieving Heaven true inheritance.
Fang Yuan could deduce the future developments himself.
One day, when the Heaven Surveying Five Xiangs explored immemorial white heaven, they happened to find this half Thieving Heaven true inheritance.
Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable had said it clearly already, this rank nine killer move could only be used by one person, because all Five Xiangs wanted it, they argued and did not manage to come to a consensus, due to their internal conflict, their group fell apart.
The Five Xiangs tried but just the five of them could not refine this killer move, eventually, they set up the bet and agreed to use this to decide the owner of the immortal killer move.
Time passed mercilessly, countless events occurred throughout the ages.
Eventually, the Five Xiangs died, generations of Gu Immortal descendants of the Five Xiangs appeared and disappeared. Until today, Qi clan obtained the decisive advantage, and after years of hard work by their predecessors, they were finally about to succeed.
But Fang Yuan interfered!
It was understandable why the Qi clan Gu Immortals were so furious and filled with hatred.
Since the first generation of the Five Xiangs, they had worked so hard throughout the ages, their efforts were finally about to bear fruit, and now, he was here to snatch it away!
How shameless!
Too shameless, too despicable!
These emotions were the fuel that Qi clan was using to face Fang Yuan at the moment.
Fang Yuan was only a rank eight Gu Immortal, they believed that as long as they obtained the rank nine killer move, they would be able to defeat Fang Yuan, or at least, make him wary of their battle strength, they would be able to negotiate.
Fang Yuan came to Bai Ning Bing's side as he instilled his will into the heaven form killer move.
Inside the heaven form killer move, there was a lump of stubborn heaven's will that remained steady as a fortress, having the greatest defense.
Below this heaven's will fortress were countless wills.
A vast sea of wills!
The bet had been undergone time and time again, a large number of Gu Immortals had left their wills behind. There were strong rank eight Gu Immortals like the Five Xiangs, there were also rank seven elites like Ni clan's Gu Immortal Ni Er.
Such an accumulation was not strange.
But what made Fang Yuan surprised was that these wills were not moving, they seemed dead like rocks, staying completely still.
Only these newly entered wills were moving around like dragons, fighting above the sea of wills.
Three of the five Gu Immortal wills of Qi clan went to deal with Bai Ning Bing's will. The remaining two attacked the heaven's will fortress at the top.
"That is the central area of the killer move heaven form, whoever refines it will become the owner of heaven form!"
"Demon Fang Yuan's will also came in!"
"Persevere, we cannot relax now, we are about to succeed."
"This is the hard work of our Qi clan after countless years, for this moment, we have sacrificed too much, we cannot let the outsider Fang Yuan win!!"
The Qi clan Gu Immortals conversed, they spurred each other on, their morale was at its peak.
Actually, they had no other choice, Fang Yuan's ruthless nature was known to all, if they did not manage to refine this rank nine killer move, they would definitely end up in pitiful states.
Without hesitation, Fang Yuan's will charged up.
His will gathered into a lump and moved like a soaring dragon.
The wills of three Qi clan Gu Immortals cooperated, but they could not resist Fang Yuan's fierce assault, they were retreating continuously.
They were just qi path Gu Immortals after all, while Fang Yuan had a huge advantage in this aspect.
"Persevere, regardless of the price we have to pay, we need to stall for time!"
"Quickly attack and take down the central control area!"
"As long as we can obtain this killer move, we might be able to kill this supreme demon king and eradicate him for good. We might be able to obtain a large number of venerable true inheritances…"
"Even if we cannot stop him, we need to expend his will so that he cannot take down the heaven's will fortress at the top."

Chapter 1640: Traitor Bai
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Qi clan's Gu Immortals were all standing together, resisting Fang Yuan desperately and courageously while feeling anxiety, fear and panic.
Fang Yuan frowned, he found that his will could not be instilled endlessly, after reaching a certain amount, he could not send any more.
Furthermore, when his will was instilled, his main body could only watch as the wills fought. Thus, his vast number of wisdom path methods could not work here.
Heaven form was rank nine, while Fang Yuan's wisdom path methods were just rank eight at best. Even if they could affect the killer move heaven form, Fang Yuan did not want to try them, if he triggered the counterattack of the killer move, that would be a problem. Even if there was no counterattack, destroying heaven form would also make him lose the greatest treasure here.
Qi clan's Gu Immortals needed heaven form to deal with Fang Yuan and protect themselves. Fang Yuan also wanted heaven form greatly, because he needed more strength to deal with the obstacles from Heavenly Court in the River of Time.
Thus, both sides had to compete using the most basic form of attacking through their wills.
In this regard, Fang Yuan was deeply experienced. After suffering at the hands of Mo Yao, he had practiced tirelessly to remove this weakness, it was his advantage now.
Qi clan's Gu Immortals were not Fang Yuan's match, but they had strength in numbers, their cumulative will was much greater than Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing.
As time passed, Fang Yuan's advantage grew, but he could not turn this advantage into victory. The Qi clan Gu Immortals were resisting him stubbornly, they were outperforming themselves.
In fact, Fang Yuan still had one worry left, it was Bai Ning Bing.
Bai Ning Bing had once backstabbed him, she was an unstable element in this situation.
But thankfully, the heaven's will fortress at the top was very strong and did not waver, no matter how Qi clan's Gu Immortals attacked it, there were no traces of it breaking down.
Fang Yuan started to feel troubled, at this rate, even if he got past or destroyed the Qi clan Gu Immortals' wills, he might not have enough will left to deal with the heaven's will at the center.
Time and again, Qi clan's wills retreated while Fang Yuan's will moved like a dragon, coiling around Qi clan's wills, encircling them.
Qi clan's wills were shocked, if Fang Yuan destroyed their encircled wills, they would be in deeper trouble, they would not be able to stop Fang Yuan from leaving.
Thus, the wills that had just dispersed gathered together again as they charged at Fang Yuan.
"Bai Ning Bing, block them." Fang Yuan rapidly ordered.
Bai Ning Bing's will was like an ice wall, it stabbed into the battlefield, but it defended Qi clan's wills as it started to attack Fang Yuan!
Qi clan's wills were greatly shocked, at the crucial moment, Bai Ning Bing had betrayed him.
Fang Yuan's will was caught off guard by Bai Ning Bing, he was very angry.
Qi clan's wills observed for a moment and became very happy, they attacked Fang Yuan from another direction.
Fang Yuan's will continued to reduce in size, he had to give up on taking down Qi clan's wills.
"Bai Ning Bing, you traitor, I will not forgive you!" Fang Yuan's will roared, but the outcome was decided, he had to escape with his remaining will.
"Fang Yuan, with your personality, after getting heaven form, won't you deal with me? I am the descendant of Bai Xiang, heaven form killer move is my fortuitous encounter. Hahaha!" Bai Ning Bing's will laughed maniacally: "This is a great chance, after defeating you here, my entire life will become dazzling and hopeful as a result."
1
Bai Ning Bing did not want to let Fang Yuan's will off, she chased after him.
Fang Yuan's will could only escape.
"What are you all waiting for? Come and help!" Bai Ning Bing's will roared at Qi clan's wills.
Qi clan's wills were also heavily damaged, after thinking for a bit, Qi Fa's will shouted: "Don't move, there might be a trap, let them fight it out."
Fang Yuan's will was attacked by Bai Ning Bing's will and was terribly damaged, it was much smaller than Bai Ning Bing's will now. Eventually, she encircled him and fought until he was completely exterminated.
"To think that the demon Fang Yuan would be the first to fall!"
"No matter how vigilant he was, he could not defend against an internal threat."
"Hahaha, this is the rise of our Qi clan, this is a great opportunity. Let's go, we must exterminate Bai Ning Bing's will too!"
Qi clan's wills attacked again, even though Bai Ning Bing's will resisted stubbornly, two fists could not rival four palms, she was eventually wiped out as well.
"We succeeded!"
"Heaven form is ours!!"
Qi clan's wills were drowning in joy, now that they had no enemies left, they gathered and attacked the heaven's will fortress.
Boom!
At once, an explosion occurred at the heaven's will fortress, a large amount of heaven's will gushed out like uncaged beasts, attacking Qi clan's wills.
All along, this heaven's will had been defensive in nature, Qi clan's wills were deceived and forgot that it could move freely.
Heaven's will's retaliation was a huge surprise to Qi clan's wills, they suffered huge losses.
"How can there be so much heaven's will?"
"Impossible!"
"Heaven's will is crafty, it deceived us of its strength, I am unresigned!"
"Quickly resist it, we cannot afford to lose!"
Qi clan's wills were determined and went all in, from a dangerous situation, they gradually stabilized it and eventually managed to gain the advantage over heaven's will, when there was little heaven's will left, the core was exposed, awaiting its new owner.
"We finally won!" A moment later, Qi clan's wills were about to cry from joy. They only had a bit of will left, but heaven's will was finally gone.
"I'm afraid not." Suddenly, Fang Yuan's will appeared again.
Qi clan's wills were shocked, they started shouting.
"You, you were already eliminated right?"
"Impossible! You already used up your will, normally, you will need a thousand years before you can send your will in again."
"Did you unravel this rank nine killer move? No, no way, this is a rank nine killer move originating from Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable!"
Fang Yuan's will snickered but he did not explain, he attacked.
Qi clan's wills were like tiny rabbits, Fang Yuan attacked them like a fierce tiger, easily getting rid of them without much obstruction.
And next, Fang Yuan's will replaced heaven's will and went into the core area.
He was the final victor!
Opening his eyes, he saw the five Qi clan Gu Immortals escaping in a panic.
Fang Yuan did not stop them, this Immortal Gu House and public blessed land had the Five Xiang's arrangements, they would definitely stop him if he attacked.
Bai Ning Bing stood by Fang Yuan's side motionlessly, she did not have any intentions of escaping.
Everything that happened was part of Fang Yuan's plan.
He purposely orchestrated a show, having Bai Ning Bing betray him. He wanted to deceive not just Qi clan's Gu Immortals, but also heaven's will.
Fang Yuan had much more experience against heaven's will than Qi clan's Gu Immortals. he deduced that heaven's will had a lot of battle strength remaining, even if he defeated Qi clan's wills, he would not be the match of heaven's will.
Thus, he purposely backed off and hid away a portion of his will.
Of course, Bai Ning Bing's will was truly wiped out. The advantage of this was that other than tricking Qi clan's Gu Immortals, he could prevent her from doing anything at the most crucial moment.
The wills of Qi clan's Gu Immortals were already weakened by Fang Yuan earlier, because they were facing huge problems and pressure, they were unable to see through Fang Yuan's plot.
It was difficult indeed.
When wills thought about things, they would be expended. The smaller the will, the less it could think. Qi clan's Gu Immortals also had to ensure that they had enough strength left to deal with heaven's will.
The outcome was as Fang Yuan predicted, he was the final winner.
Heaven form was under Fang Yuan's control, at this moment, he did not inspect, he turned to look at Bai Ning Bing with a deep gaze.
"Oh Bai Ning Bing… are you really not going to run?" Fang Yuan's eyes burst out with killing intent.
Bai Ning Bing's value had been squeezed out, she was not like Shadow Sect's members, she was not under Fang Yuan's control.
Since he obtained heaven form, it was time to settle this problem.
The atmosphere was tense, Fang Yuan's killing intent was rising.
They were about to fight at any moment.
Evidently, Fang Yuan was not someone Bai Ning Bing could defeat at the moment. Even though the killer move Bai Xiang was a powerful move that had once terrorized Southern Border's Gu Immortal world, Bai Ning Bing's cultivation level was too low now, her foundation was far weaker than Fang Yuan.
If they fought, Bai Ning Bing would die for sure!

Chapter 1641: Very Interesting
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Facing Fang Yuan's immense killing intent, Bai Ning Bing smiled as she looked towards Fang Yuan straight in the eye, asking in return: "Why should I run?"
After pausing for a moment, she said: "Qi clan's Gu Immortals escaped, that is because they don't know you. We are both from Qing Mao Mountain, with my understanding of you, how could they escape? Hehe, since I cannot escape, what's the point of running? Not only will I not escape, on the contrary, I will join Shadow Sect."
Fang Yuan frowned: "I had thought of that, but your Bai Xiang killer move is too amazing, it can free you from almost any alliance agreement."
The uniqueness of Bai Xiang was that it turned the Gu Immortal into a unique existence, even a tiny fragment could regenerate and be reborn.
The essence of alliance agreements were information path dao marks, Bai Ning Bing could make use of Bai Xiang to self-mutilate and get rid of her information path dao marks, negating her alliance agreements.
Thus, Bai Xiang was also used for healing, to get rid of unwanted dao marks in the body.
"Indeed." Facing Fang Yuan's deep wariness, Bai Ning Bing laughed, not caring about her own safety: "But isn't that more exciting?"
Fang Yuan snorted, saying in displeasure: "I am not you, Bai Ning Bing."
Bai Ning Bing nodded, she stopped smiling as brilliance flashed in her dragon eyes: "Indeed, I have been pursuing excitement all along. This is why I admire you, Fang Yuan, your life is truly exciting, it is so thrilling! Every time you plot, every time you succeed, or even every time you fail, they are filled with excitement. Especially earlier when you were ambushed by Heavenly Court and had to escape like a dog, it was truly the most thrilling experience!"
"The other Shadow Sect members cannot understand my feelings. Some just want to save Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, some feel fear and panic, some feel immense pressure, but what I feel is excitement and thrill. The bigger the problems, the bigger the troubles, the more exciting life is, isn't that right?"
"Others might not know me, but I am sure that you understand me, right?"
Bai Ning Bing stared at Fang Yuan's eyes with a bright gaze.
Fang Yuan was silent.
Back then on Qing Mao Mountain, he had deduced that Bai Ning Bing was a true demon. He was not wrong, that was exactly who she was. To pursue the excitement of life, she could give up anything, even her life. The values and moral concepts of normal people, the complexities of love and hatred, they were all unrelated to her.
She was different from the norm, her world view was vastly different, she only walked on her own path. She followed her own desires, she did not care about life and death.
In fact, Bai Ning Bing and Fang Yuan were very similar, they were the same kind, only that they pursued different goals.
Fang Yuan pursued eternal life, he was willing to sacrifice anything including himself. Even if he failed and died along the way, he would feel happy and content, because he lived pursuing his dreams, he felt a sense of satisfaction and enjoyment towards life.
1
Bai Ning Bing said that Fang Yuan understood her, she was absolutely right, it was the same as how she understood Fang Yuan.
The saying goes, heroes admired each other, it was the same for demons.
Fang Yuan's killing intent gradually faded away.
His killing intent was only a facade, the truth was, he did not really have much killing intent.
Why should he kill Bai Ning Bing?
Fang Yuan's strength far surpassed Bai Ning Bing, her threat was very low to Fang Yuan.
2
Sometimes, when he saw Bai Ning Bing, Fang Yuan could see his own reflection. True demons like them were too rare, meeting one was a form of luck, it was a form of affirmation towards their goals.
Because of their similarity, they recognized each other, they acknowledged each other.
Thus, back then, when Bai Ning Bing gave up her life to save Fang Yuan, she said her final words — asking Fang Yuan to live in her place and witness the excitement of life. Bai Ning Bing had felt that Fang Yuan could take her place to a certain extent.
Sometimes, Fang Yuan thought about it, if he and Bai Ning Bing exchanged identities, would he have made the same choice as her?
"Hahaha." Bai Ning Bing suddenly raised her head and laughed: "I can give all of Bai Xiang grotto-heaven's resources to you. But I want the Gu worms from Bai Xiang's true inheritance, I am willing to join Shadow Sect because facing Heavenly Court is truly exciting! This was your excitement, but it will become mine as well."
"In that case, there are three possible outcomes." Bai Ning Bing squinted, excitement flashing in her eyes, there was a light of insanity.
"The first possibility, you get killed by Heavenly Court. With your strength, even if you get killed, it will be in an incredible manner, your struggle before death will definitely be a climax. By witnessing your death, it will be the greatest experience of my life."
"The second possibility, Heavenly Court gets defeated or even destroyed by you. That is definitely exciting beyond belief, the number one force of human history falling like a crashing meteor, it will create the greatest sparks in this world."
"And the third possibility, the one I anticipate the most, because it is the most thrilling! You and Heavenly Court get into a deadlock, both sides suffer losses. In that case, I will stay by your side, I will have the supreme chance to find an opportunity. I might even emerge as the victor, both you and Heavenly Court will become my stepping stones."
Fang Yuan looked at Bai Ning Bing calmly, he said with a cold and expressionless face: "If I kill you now, all three possibilities will vanish."
"Yes, yes…" Bai Ning Bing frowned, she became a little dejected, her gaze flickered and her tone became heavy: "That is true. If I die now, even though I will resist to the utmost, our strength is too vastly different, there will be little excitement in the battle."
"But if that is your choice, I will accept it." She smiled, shrugging: "I am just too weak, I have to accept that fate. This cruelty of life is also exciting, isn't it? Hehehe."
Death was not scary for Bai Ning Bing.
She was a lunatic, but also logical and calm. Such a person was the scariest.
But someone even scarier than her was standing right in front of her.
1
It was the demonic path overlord Fang Yuan who made both heaven's will and Heavenly Court helpless to deal with.
Fang Yuan smiled as he laughed "Very interesting."
Bai Ning Bing was a very interesting person.
Right now, Bai Ning Bing was weak and was subject to Fang Yuan's mercy, she did not try persuading him to spare her, she said the opposite, even exposing her own threat to Fang Yuan.
This was because she understood Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan was a person who kept a clear mind, he had already analyzed the benefits and costs of keeping her life. Once he made up his mind, it was useless no matter what was said.
Even without Bai Ning Bing's words, Fang Yuan knew that he needed all the strength he could get to face Heavenly Court and obtain Red Lotus' true inheritance. Bai Ning Bing was a precious source of battle strength, even if she was given a chance to betray him, so what?
A blade was naturally able to harm oneself. But if he threw this blade away and fought empty handed, was that not a stupid move?
It was up to Fang Yuan's abilities to make good use of this blade and prevent her betrayal.
"If I am too useless and Bai Ning Bing's betrayal succeeds, I can only blame myself, isn't that right?"
1
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan laughed: "Oh Bai Ning Bing, you are truly someone I admire, I will not kill you now. Follow me, witness my failure or success. If I die at your hands, that will be quite a show. But now, display your worth to me, bring me the heads of Qi clan's Gu Immortals, and also… their Qi Sea grotto-heaven."

Inside rank nine killer move heaven form.
Fang Yuan's will moved like a dragon, coiling in the air as he charged down abruptly.
Rumble!
Fang Yuan's will descended like a meteor, crashing into the bottom of the sea of wills, exterminating a large amount of them in an instant.
However, this sea of will was truly huge, Fang Yuan's attack only destroyed a small portion of them.
"Even though I won and occupied the killer move's core area, this place is filled with the wills of the Five Xiangs' descendants. Only after I exterminate them all can I truly activate this rank nine killer move."
This sea of will was colossal. And the bigger problem was, these wills were affected by the rank nine killer move and were as sturdy as rocks. Many of Fang Yuan's methods could not work on them, under the influence of the rank nine killer move, he had a limited number of methods to use.
Fang Yuan suddenly had a thought as he instilled a new tide of will.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
The will gathered into swords as countless will swords shot down like rain, stabbing into the sea of wills and creating huge pits.
In a while, a layer of this sea of wills was eradicated.
Compared to the earlier will dragon, this rain of will swords had far more terrifying power.
Fang Yuan saw this and sighed deeply: "As expected of rank eight Immortal Gu Wisdom Sword!"
He had rank eight cultivation level now, he could use this Gu. Even though it was a sword path Immortal Gu, it was closely related to wisdom path.
Fang Yuan used it as the core to deduce a simple move that could summon a large amount of sword will.
Using these sword wills to attack the sea of wills was the most effective method that Fang Yuan had tried.
But if he did that, his investments would be very high. Wisdom sword Immortal Gu was a rank eight Gu, it expended white litchi immortal essence and the immortal killer move with it would cause a lot of immortal essence expenditure.
But Fang Yuan calculated and found that he could accept this expenditure.
After all, he was affluent, his immortal aperture management was a rising gold mine.
During the battle in the River of Time, even though Fang Yuan escaped and ruined Heavenly Court's plan of killing him, his losses were severe. The destruction of the incomplete Immortal Gu House was extremely painful to him, even now.
This incomplete Immortal Gu House was created by Fang Yuan after capturing many Southern Border Gu Immortals and obtaining their Immortal Gu, he went through transactions and negotiations with Southern Border's righteous path, eventually extorting enough Immortal Gu for the assembly.
Fang Yuan had spent a lot of effort to do this, even though he spent so much time on it, it was destroyed.
"I hope this heaven form killer move can be of use to me."
Fang Yuan was deeply anticipating what heaven form could bring to him.
For ordinary killer moves, Fang Yuan could investigate and deduce their abilities. But this killer move was rank nine, it was too profound, Fang Yuan could not comprehend it.
This was Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable's creation, he was specialized in space path and theft path, even if this was not an offensive move, it had an incredible effect for sure.
Even though Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable did not explain anything about this move, Fang Yuan could deduce some things from other aspects.
Like Shadow Sect's attitude.
Shadow Sect's Old Man Yan Shi specially helped Bai Ning Bing for the sake of getting heaven form.
"Old Man Yan Shi was a wisdom path great expert, he might have found out something, this heaven form killer move must be very useful to Shadow Sect."
Fang Yuan was the current leader of Shadow Sect, this heaven form killer move was definitely going to be beneficial to him.
Other than getting rid of the sea of wills, Fang Yuan also broke the Five Xiang's seal and obtained the Immortal Gu House at the peak of the mountain, as well as this public grotto-heaven.
This grotto-heaven only opened once in a thousand years, it had abundant resources. Qi clan's Gu Immortals were too busy fleeing, they could not obtain any of these resources, so they all became Fang Yuan's resources.
Boom—!
The huge explosion tore Bai Ning Bing to pieces.
But at the next moment, her Bai Xiang form gathered again and charged at Qi clan's Gu Immortals.
Qi clan's Gu Immortals had ugly expressions, they saw how terrifying the killer move Bai Xiang was!
Bai Ning Bing had this move active, she was almost undying. Even so, right now, she was not fighting alone, Ying Wu Xie and Hei Lou Lan were also helping her.
Even though Fang Yuan wanted Bai Ning Bing to kill these Qi clan Gu Immortals, he knew her limits. She did not even have the most crucial immortal battlefield killer move.
Fang Yuan had already set up an immortal formation in ambush, ever since he captured the Southern Border righteous path immortals, he started to love this method.
Once Qi clan's Gu Immortals entered, they were stripped of their freedom by the immortal formation, they could not escape, they had to fight Bai Ning Bing.
"Ah—!" With a painful scream, the youngest Qi clan Gu Immortal was fatally injured by Bai Ning Bing and died.
"My turn." Ying Wu Xie was already prepared, he immediately moved and captured the Qi clan Gu Immortal's soul, trapping it in the formation.
The remaining Qi clan Gu Immortals shouted in anger as they retaliated fiercely.
Bai Ning Bing was broken into fragments again, but she revived in a few breaths of time, reforming into Bai Xiang again.
Even though there were many Qi clan Gu Immortals who had high battle strength, they all revealed expressions of despair now.
Because they knew that Bai Ning Bing could not be killed, while they were trapped here, they would eventually lose in this battle of attrition.
3
"What do we do?"
"Bai Ning Bing is too troublesome to deal with, and most importantly, this Fang Yuan is too vicious, he actually set this formation near the entrance of our Qi Sea grotto-heaven!"
Qi clan's Gu Immortals had been very vigilant but when they were near their base, they were captured.
They did not know that Fang Yuan had killed Qi Zai. Even though he did not enter the Five Xiang grotto-heaven, he knew the details of Qi Sea grotto-heaven.
This Qi Sea grotto-heaven was the immortal aperture of Qi Xiang in the past, after being placed in white heaven, it could not move anymore, it had stayed there all along.
Fang Yuan used this intel to set up the immortal formation secretly, managing to trap the Qi clan members.
"At this rate, we are bound to lose!"
"Stall! I don't believe that her Bai Xiang killer move is so strong, does it not have any cost or backlash?"
"Don't forget about Fang Yuan, if he gets here, we are not in the Immortal Gu House, the Five Xiang's seal cannot stop him."
"We cannot break out of the immortal formation, we need to let Qi Ping Su come out and cooperate with us to break this formation."
"No! Qi Ping Su is the only person left in the base, if he comes out, he will need to open the entrance, Shadow Sect would be able to use that chance."
1
"Fang Yuan might be nearby waiting for the grotto-heaven to open already, so that he can charge in!"
Fang Yuan did not come.
But his fearsomeness and craftiness was etched into everyone's hearts, the Qi clan Gu Immortals felt deep pressure and started to be flustered.
At the same time.
In Central Continent, a young man was standing quietly, looking at the Immortal Gu in front of him.
This young man had a mature and experienced expression, it showed that he had gone through many hurdles in his life.
This was none other than Gu Yue Fang Zheng.
Gu Yue Fang Zheng was originally going to be executed by Immortal Crane Sect, but Fang Yuan plotted and faked his death, making him live in Lang Ya blessed land.
Fang Zheng lived in a place where he was ostracized by hairy men, he had experienced a long period of wars and conflicts, being in danger at all times, he was also often in situations where his life was on the line.
After all of these experiences, he was no longer the same as before, he had truly matured.
After that, when Heavenly Court attacked Lang Ya blessed land, because of Gu Yue Fang Zheng's unique identity, he was saved by Feng Jiu Ge.
After that, he returned to Central Continent.
"If I am not wrong, this is a blood path Immortal Gu?" Fang Zheng looked at the Gu Immortal before him as he showed a mocking smile: "You want me to cultivate blood path, become a demonic path Gu Immortal and deal with Gu Yue Fang Yuan? This is the decision of Immortal Crane Sect, a righteous path sect?"
1
Immortal Crane Sect's rank six Gu Immortal Fan Xi Liu frowned slightly as he chuckled: "Regardless of what strength it is, if you use it righteously, it is righteous, if you use it for evil, it is demonic. Don't you understand this? For example, I cultivate poison path but I can still help the people of this world. You can do the same with blood path."
Gu Yue Fang Zheng shook his head: "Me cultivating blood path is only for the sake of dealing with Fang Yuan effectively. After all, we are blood brothers!"
Even though Fang Yuan had the sovereign immortal body, his time path clone was still blood related to Fang Zheng.
Fan Xi Liu nodded: "That is the case indeed. Don't you want to take revenge? After all, he slaughtered all of your clansmen in Gu Yue village."
Gu Yue Fang Zheng sighed deeply, even though he had a young face, his gaze was deep with the vicissitudes of life.
"So many years have passed. To speak the truth, even though I still hate him, I understand him already."
"I have thought about it, I was very childish and ignorant when I was young, Fang Yuan had taken care of me greatly. In contrast, my uncle and aunt had treated me as a pawn and made use of me. Should I take revenge for such people? I do not want to."
2
"Of course, the clan leader and Gu Yue Qing Shu had taken good care of me, they helped to nurture me, I am very willing to take revenge for them."
3
"But I am tired now… sigh, the cycle of killing each other continues endlessly over time… I do not want revenge anymore."
Fan Xi Liu's expression did not change: "It seems that these years, you have truly experienced a lot of things."
Gu Yue Fang Zheng looked at him, his mocking smile became wider: "The irony is that when I wanted to take revenge, the sect did not support me and even wanted to eliminate me. But when I gave up on revenge, you all saved me and supported my revenge."
Speaking of this, Gu Yue Fang Zheng looked at the blood path Immortal Gu, having an eerie gaze: "And I know that I have no choice, I can only accept this."
Fan Xi Liu assessed Fang Zheng once again, a surprise flashed in his eyes as he smiled lightly: "Is it really fine to speak so openly about this?"
"Does it really matter? I know that with your methods, I cannot hide any thoughts from you, isn't that that right?" Saying so, Fang Zheng stretched out his arm, holding that Gu as he asked: "What is this Gu's name?"
"Blood Revenge."

Chapter 1643: Grotto-Heaven Changes Owners
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Bai Ning Bing, don't go overboard!" Qi clan's Gu Immortal leader Qi Fa shouted in anger.
Bai Ning Bing was laughing coldly in her mind.
Bai Xiang tore through the sky, flashing past Qi Fa as Qi Jin's corpse was left behind, frozen in ice. His expression of fear before dying was perfectly preserved, vividly shown within the ice.
Boom boom boom!
Qi path killer moves burst out endlessly, Bai Xiang dodged a portion of them, some were intercepted by the immortal formation, while the rest tore Bai Xiang to shreds.
But immediately, it regenerated to perfection.
This scene made the Qi clan Gu Immortals feel a deep chill down their spines.
After an intense battle, three of the five Qi clan Gu Immortals had died, only Qi Fa and Qi Cai were left.
"Damn it, Bai Xiang is too powerful, we cannot deal with it in this situation!" Qi Fa gritted his teeth.
"This super immortal formation is the biggest problem, without it, we would have escaped already." Qi Cai looked at Qi Fa with bloodshot eyes, pointing out the truth.
Qi Fa was silent.
Qi Cai was right, even though the killer move Bai Xiang was strong, couldn't they simply run from it if they could not beat it? The sky was vast, there was no need to face Bai Ning Bing directly.
But it was too difficult to break out of this immortal formation. At least for Qi Fa and Qi Cai, they had been trying since the start, but had obtained no fruits of success.
Qi Fa sighed: "You are right, let's call Qi Ping Su to help."
Qi Ping Su only had rank six cultivation level, he was staying behind to guard Qi clan's base, Qi Sea grotto-heaven. But now, they had to ask him to come out and join forces with them, as long as they could destroy a bit of this immortal formation, they would be rescued.
But if they did that, they would fall into Fang Yuan's trap.
Fang Yuan had purposely made sure the immortal formation did not block transmissions, he wanted to lure Qi Ping Su out of the grotto-heaven.
Qi Fa knew this so for the entire duration of the battle, he did not want to get help from Qi Ping Su. But now, they were in a desperate situation, if they did not ask him to come out, they would lose their lives!
Qi Ping Su was already waiting to move, once he received orders, he opened the immortal aperture's entrance.
Bai Ning Bing was overjoyed: "They finally did it!"
Saying so, she teleported away using the formation, rushing into the immortal aperture's entrance.
"Oh no!" Qi Ping Su had just wanted to go out when Bai Ning Bing charged in, without a choice, he had to retreat.
Qi Sea grotto-heaven was huge, it was covered in white clouds and had strong winds.
The moment Bai Ning Bing entered, she felt a strong pressure, her strength was heavily suppressed by the vast qi path dao marks in this place.
But Bai Xiang was still extremely powerful, Bai Ning Bing and Qi Ping Su fought intensely and she soon gained the upper hand.
Qi Ping Su only had rank six cultivation level, his legs were crippled and he had injuries in his body. He could not beat Bai Ning Bing, he quickly retreated with his territorial advantage in this place, he soon vanished into the white clouds.
Bai Ning Bing furrowed her brows.
The situation was slightly troublesome, she did not kill Qi Ping Su earlier, how could she find this person in this huge grotto-heaven now? Even if she found him, what if he runs away again?
"Hmm?" Suddenly, Bai Ning Bing raised her head, she saw that a thick sea of clouds had formed above her head.
An intense sense of danger alerted her in her mind.
"A fatal danger!" Instantly, Bai Ning Bing understood the severity of the situation.
She quickly flew down like a falling meteor, descending rapidly.
In her vision, the yellowish ground was getting larger and larger.
Bai Ning Bing's expression became solemn, the sense of danger in her heart was intensifying.
Intense winds blew around her, she turned to look at the sky only to find the cloud sea expanding into the horizons, an intensely powerful killer move was nurturing from within it.
At the same time, Qi Ping Su who was in the cloud sea looked at Qi Sea heavenly spirit as he said joyfully: "Qi Sea heavenly spirit, you are awake! This timing is truly impeccable."
Qi Sea heavenly spirit had the appearance of a snow-white fawn, its eyes were golden in color, extremely dazzling.
"I was roused and woke up."
"Since the last time I got injured, I needed to seal myself to stabilize my injuries."
"But this time, I sensed that an incredibly evil and strong existence is coming after the grotto-heaven. I had to wake up as a result, but this intruder is not that existence that I felt."
Qi Ping Su was stunned: "I know who that is, it must be Fang Yuan. Heavenly spirit, you have sealed yourself for years, you do not know that a terrifying demonic path Gu Immortal had emerged, his name is Fang Yuan, even Heavenly Court was helpless against him."
Qi Sea heavenly spirit was shocked: "Even Heavenly Court was helpless? It must be him."
Qi Ping Su pointed at Bai Ning Bing, saying in extreme anger: "This is Fang Yuan's subordinate, she has already killed three of our clan's Gu Immortals."
Qi Sea heavenly spirit was enraged, killing intent surged in its golden eyes: "An eye for an eye, they killed our Qi clan's bloodline, we will end her life as well."
Saying so, an intense sound resounded as a huge white qi pillar slammed down towards Bai Ning Bing at a rapid speed from the cloud sea.
At this instance, Bai Ning Bing was shocked to find that there was a force all around her immobilizing her. She had all sorts of thoughts in her mind but her body was unmoving, like a bug trapped in amber.
"So powerful!"
"Even with all my strength, I cannot escape."
Bai Ning Bing raised her head, a white qi pillar was slamming down at her like a giant mountain.
This attack was clearly at rank eight level, even if Bai Ning Bing had Bai Xiang, she could not escape, she was bound to die.
But at this moment, a jade light sparkled out of nowhere, it burst out into countless spreading jade fireflies, dancing around the area.
From within the jade green light, Fang Yuan emerged.
"It's him!" Instantly, Qi Sea heavenly spirit shook intensely, shouting in shock.
"Indeed, he is Fang Yuan." Qi Ping Su gulped, swallowing his saliva while feeling extremely nervous.
Against the white qi pillar, Fang Yuan's expression did not change, he only stretched out his finger.
Swoosh!
With a shrill sound, an intensely sharp and huge sword will surged up and pierced the white qi pillar, cutting it into two.
The white qi pillar dissipated, Qi Ping Su opened his mouth as he felt deeply shocked.
"I'm saved." Bai Ning Bing was dazed before her lips curled up, she flew into the air and stood beside Fang Yuan.
"What move is this?" Bai Ning Bing looked up above her, saying hesitantly: "Don't tell me…"
"It should be Qi Xiang's signature killer move — Unlimited Qi Sea. This move is grand and vast, it is complex and ever-changing, capable of attacking and defending, Qi Xiang was renowned back in the day because of it." Fang Yuan agreed, having a solemn expression.
Unlimited qi sea was a rank eight killer move, it used many qi path Immortal Gu as the cores, with tens of thousands of supplementary Gu worms. It could absorb all kinds of qi in the world to increase its power.
This killer move was quite unique, it had potential for growth on its own. After Qi Xiang created this move, he collected all sorts of qi and stored them inside the immortal aperture, increasing the power of this move.
Thankfully, Qi Xiang had died long ago, even though unlimited qi sea was left in Qi Sea grotto-heaven, because it was too powerful and without any rank eight Gu Immortals in Qi clan, the huge quantity of qi had gradually dissipated.
Until now, Fang Yuan was after Qi Sea grotto-heaven, it alerted Qi Sea heavenly spirit and it barely managed to activate unlimited qi sea, after so many years, it had finally been used again.
"Even though this move is powerful, Qi Xiang had died long ago, how much power can the heavenly spirit unleash with it? Hehe." Fang Yuan snickered, suddenly flying into the sky, straight towards the cloud sea.
Bai Ning Bing gritted her teeth, she wanted to fight alongside Fang Yuan but she quickly stopped herself wisely, showing regret on her face.
She was too weak, she could not participate in a battle of such magnitude.
Rumble…
Bai Ning Bing looked at the sky, the cloud sea was rumbling, after Fang Yuan went in, the waves became more turbulent, as if a tsunami had occurred in the white clouds.
At the same time, thunderous explosions resounded endlessly.
"Life qi, death qi, sword qi, blade qi, dusk qi, dawn qi…" Bai Ning Bing was dazzled from this view, all sorts of qi gathered into countless forms, they were like plants, blades, swords, halberds, beasts and birds, they were all gathering right outside the qi sea, before charging in towards Fang Yuan for an intense battle.
COMMENT
Fang Yuan initially felt huge pressure, he could barely move, but soon, he unraveled some of the mysteries of this killer move. Within the sovereign immortal aperture, his time path clone was sitting in front of wisdom Gu, using the light of wisdom to deduce the information of unlimited qi sea rapidly.
After fighting for a while more, Fang Yuan's brows eased as he laughed heartily, starting his counterattack.
Everywhere he went, all sorts of obstacles were taken down and destroyed, he was unstoppable, he charged all the way until he reached the heavenly spirit.
Qi Sea heavenly spirit had a tough requirement for ownership, Fang Yuan could not achieve it, that information was obtained from Qi Zai's soul. Meanwhile, blood light spirit suppression could not work against a rank eight level heavenly spirit.
Thus, Fang Yuan went ahead to kill Qi Sea heavenly spirit.
The moment Qi Sea heavenly spirit died, the unmanned unlimited qi sea killer move immediately stopped.
"I surrender!" Qi Ping Su's body shivered, he was completely subdued by Fang Yuan's overwhelming demonic aura.
Fang Yuan looked at him coldly: "You are quite smart, alright, if you want to live, get Qi Fa and Qi Cai to surrender too. Otherwise, you can all die together."
"Yes, yes." Qi Ping Su was filled with pressure, he was sent into the formation.
Qi Fa and Qi Cai learned that Qi Sea grotto-heaven was taken down, they lost all their motivation, after some hesitation, they surrendered with pale expressions, stopping their resistance.
And now, from the Five Xiang's Bet, the prized rank nine killer move heaven form, the public grotto-heaven of the Five Xiangs, as well as Qi Sea grotto-heaven were all obtained by Fang Yuan!

Chapter 1644: Big Family Qi
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Qi Sea grotto-heaven.
"Come!" Fang Yuan's main body shouted as he stretched out his right arm, his five fingers grabbing at the unlimited qi sea in front of him.
Immediately, an orange-yellow qi flowed out of unlimited qi sea.
This qi was extremely special, it was shiny and lively, moving with a long trail behind it, the tip of the qi had auspicious clouds circling around it.
This was luck qi.
A type of immortal material.
Unlimited qi sea had all sorts of qi in it, luck qi was one of the rarer ones. Because even in the five regions and two heavens, luck qi of such a scale was rarely seen. If a Gu Immortal could find some, they were very lucky.
Fang Yuan was dismantling the killer move unlimited qi sea now.
This killer move was Qi Xiang's greatest trump card, it was similar to Fang Yuan's Luo Po seal and reverse flow protection seal, this unlimited qi sea killer move also used immortal materials, they were the myriad forms of qi that he gathered.
The more types of qi gathered on large scales, the stronger unlimited qi sea was. Of course, not only would this move expend immortal essence, it also used up the stored qi. Even if they were not used, as time passed, these qi would naturally dissipate slowly.
Thus, Fang Yuan had faced the unlimited qi sea killer move earlier when it was not at its peak.
It was the fifth day now.
Ever since he succeeded in taking down Qi Sea grotto-heaven, he had been resting here. Two days ago, he collated all of his gains, he also made enslavement agreements with the three Qi clan Gu Immortals, Qi Ping Su, Qi Fa and Qi Cai. Some of the resources that could be moved into the sovereign immortal aperture were also dealt with by Ying Wu Xie and the rest. Meanwhile, his own focus was on the killer move unlimited qi sea.
This was a qi path killer move, it was not usable for Fang Yuan. Dismantling it would give him a vast amount of qi, that was quite valuable. And most importantly, Fang Yuan could only deal with these Gu worms after dismantling the killer move, otherwise, if he refined them rashly, he might face the backlash of the killer move, after all, this move was complete and extraordinary.
"I will need three more days to extract all of the qi at this rate."
"After that, I will refine these Immortal Gu."
Fang Yuan planned inwardly.
There were many mortal Gu worms used to construct unlimited qi sea killer move, but Fang Yuan did not really care about them.
His focus was on the Immortal Gu.
There were six Immortal Gu that made up this killer move, one was a rank eight Immortal Gu, called Big Qi, it was the core of the killer move.
Other than that, there were some rank seven and six Gu worms. Fang Yuan was paying the most attention to a rank seven Immortal Gu, it was called Big Family Qi.
This qi path Gu worm could store all sorts of qi, including the qi of tribulations!
The final point was crucial.
Fang Yuan had once used many small family qi Gu to store his tribulation qi and help him to pass tribulations. As an Immortal Gu, Big Family Qi had a much stronger ability in this aspect.
"With this Immortal Gu, I will be able to store and release tribulation qi, that is a superb method to deal with tribulations."
"If the calamities and tribulations are powerful, I will use this Gu to absorb the tribulation qi and weaken it. If it is weak, I will release tribulation qi to allow myself to gain more dao marks in the end."
"Using this Gu, I can even absorb the heaven and earth qi of the outside world and store it. When the sovereign immortal aperture needs it, I can release this qi, this prevents me from needing to place my immortal aperture in order to absorb heaven and earth qi and stabilize the sovereign immortal aperture."
Different situations gave rise to different needs.
It was not that a higher ranked Immortal Gu was necessarily more helpful to the Gu Immortal. In this case, rank seven Big Family Qi was much more helpful to him than rank eight Big Qi.
Refining these qi path Immortal Gu would expend Fang Yuan's time and energy.
But there was no difficulty thanks to Fang Yuan's quasi-supreme grandmaster attainment level in refinement path and theft path great grandmaster attainment level, as well as great thief ghost hand and other methods
Like what Fang Yuan anticipated, a few days later, he absorbed all of the qi here, these qi were all stored in different ways, those that Fang Yuan could not keep were sold in treasure yellow heaven directly
Not only these qi, some of the resources inside Qi Sea grotto-heaven and the Five Xiang's public grotto-heaven were sold by Fang Yuan to exchange for resources he needed.
Normally, he traded goods for goods, there were few transactions involving immortal essence stones.
Because Fang Yuan had advanced to rank eight, he had white litchi immortal essence now.
One bead of white litchi immortal essence was in some sense a hundred beads of red date immortal essence, which was ten thousand beads of green grape immortal essence.
That was to say, ten thousand immortal essence stones could be converted into one white litchi immortal essence bead, the conversion rate was simply too bad.
Thus in most cases, rank eight Gu Immortals produced their own beads of immortal essence and stored them.
Fang Yuan's sovereign immortal aperture had abundant time path resources, he could produce beads of white litchi immortal essence rapidly, he did not need external replenishment from immortal essence stones. Especially when this replenishment came at such a high and inefficient cost.
Fang Yuan's cultivation resources were mostly traded for immortal materials, because he was going to mass refine Gu now.
Right when Fang Yuan was focusing on refining the qi path Immortal Gu, Ying Wu Xie secretly went to find him.
He was no longer in a female body, he had changed to a body belonging to a Gu Immortal from Southern Border's Yang clan, they had compatible soul path dao marks. In battle, Fang Yuan would also create some Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique bodies for him to use.
Ying Wu Xie said cautiously: "Sect leader, you have already refined all of the three Qi clan Gu Immortals' Immortal Gu, but you returned and rented them out, that is a good way to control them. But why don't you use it on Bai Ning Bing? Even though she is very useful to you now, that is only temporarily, your ice and snow path attainment will increase in the future. Furthermore, Bai Ning Bing possesses the killer move Bai Xiang, it is very powerful and threatening. Even if she joins Shadow Sect and undergoes the alliance agreement, she can easily break it without a problem. I might be out of line, but you seem to be too… lenient with Bai Ning Bing."
Fang Yuan smiled as he shook his head.
"That is because you don't understand her."
"She is a person who does not fear death. If I try that on her, she would rather die than surrender."
"Even though I have methods to retain most of her Immortal Gu, what is the use of that?"
"You've already seen it in the battle of Reverse Flow River, I need manpower to restrain Heavenly Court's members. With your current strength, none of you can help me in this."
"Bai Ning Bing who has the killer move Bai Xiang is very valuable."
"With her identity and circumstances, she cannot turn towards Heavenly Court. At the same time, she needs me to refine yin yang rotation Immortal Gu and restore her male body."
Fang Yuan had refinement path quasi-supreme attainment level while Bai Ning Bing had no confidence in refining the Immortal Gu herself!
"We are too useless." Ying Wu Xie lowered his head.
Fang Yuan laughed heartily: "I understand your other intention. I will take care of you guys and raise your battle strength."
In the past, Fang Yuan only had rank seven cultivation level, he had to prioritize himself. But now, he was rank eight, raising Ying Wu Xie, Hei Lou Lan, and the others' battle strength was icing on the cake for Fang Yuan.
Of course, there were other reasons. In the past, Fang Yuan had no time or energy for this, but now as a rank eight, even though he was weak against Heavenly Court, ordinary people could no longer find trouble with him, they even had to avoid him. And with Fang Yuan's powerful methods in blocking deductions, as long as he did not go to the River of Time, he was safe.
In such a situation, Fang Yuan could calmly strengthen his subordinates.
He had a strong feeling that these people would be useful in the future.
Furthermore, raising their cultivation level was easy, he could mainly use time path methods to accelerate the time in their immortal apertures. Even if they had calamities and tribulations, he could help them to pass.
Ying Wu Xie obtained Fang Yuan's promise and left happily.
Next, in his free time, Fang Yuan called Hei Lou Lan over.
"I'll show you someone." Fang Yuan took out the captive Gu Immortal Hei Cheng.
Hei Lou Lan stared with wide opened eyes, she was furious, wanting to tear Hei Cheng to pieces.
Even though Hei Cheng was her father, they had deep hatred between them.
Hei Lou Lan did not act out of line, she watched as Fang Yuan stored Hei Cheng back into his immortal aperture, she breathed roughly with bloodshot eyes as she gritted her teeth and said: "So Hei Cheng was in sect leader's hands the entire time! Are you thinking of recruiting him?"
Fang Yuan laughed heartily: "Don't worry, compared to him, I hold you in higher regard. As long as you cultivate hard and accumulate some contributions, I am sure you will be able to take revenge one day."
"I understand!" Hei Lou Lan looked at Fang Yuan, by now, she had already been far exceeded by him, this difference made her feel extremely helpless.

Chapter 1645: Rank Seven Spring Autumn Cicada
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Inside the sovereign immortal aperture.
The Gu refinement was at its most crucial point.
The huge cicada was floating in the air, about five feet from the ground.
The cicada's surface was not smooth, it was hairy and rough, while also having a metallic texture.
Fang Yuan breathed in deeply, using his killer move that had been prepared for a long time.
Instantly, winds blew around the cicada, dark clouds rumbled in the sky, gathering into one lump and turning the surroundings dim.
Howl howl howl…
Amidst waves of ghostly wails and the ground that was rotting into a pale white color, dark ghost hands emerged from the ground, they were thick and menacing, grabbing at the cicada.
The ghost hands grabbed the cicada but they were only illusory, the ghost hands moved around and took something out of the cicada before clenching into fists and retreating.
Hundreds of dark ghost hands continued to extend from the ground, grabbing the cicada and removing the impurities from within it.
The cicada was only a half completed product, it was unstable and became smaller as the ghost hands grabbed at it, the surface slowly became smoother as the metallic surface became sharper and brighter.
Fang Yuan had been paying attention deeply, upon seeing this, he felt greatly satisfied.
This method was his unique creation, it used rank eight Soul Beast Token as the core Immortal Gu.
"In the last few times I refined Spring Autumn Cicada, flaws appeared here, the materials were not processed properly. By doing this now, I can get rid of the impurities, but some flaws will be left behind."
The dark winds had stopped blowing, the dark ghost hands shrunk in number until none were left.
The dark clouds in the sky became thicker and denser, the cicada was already half of its original size, its body was shining in a metallic light, giving off a cold feeling.
Fang Yuan took out a huge lump of fire calmly.
This was the rank eight immortal material phoenix song flame, it was red and yellow in color, with two layers. The outside layer was yellow while the inside was red. The inner layer was shaped like a phoenix, it flew around while singing loudly, as the flames continued to burn, it emitted a crisp and wonderful melody.
"Go!" Fang Yuan grunted as he tossed a basin-sized phoenix song flame onto the cicada's surface.
Whoosh.
A soft sound echoed as the flames spread, surrounding the entire cicada and setting it ablaze.
At this moment, phoenix cries resounded in the clouds.
Next, the sounds went soft but the flames became brighter, burning the cicada intensely.
Fang Yuan held his breath, staring at the cicada without looking away.
Traces of ghost qi started to emerge from the cicada's surface but they were destroyed by the flames.
This Gu refinement step was very difficult, the precision needed was extremely high and hard to manage.
But Fang Yuan was sufficiently calm and patient, he waited until all of the ghost qi was destroyed and the surface of the cicada melted before he started the next method without panicking.
Dragon roars resounded, a huge dragon-shaped blizzard landed on the surface of the cicada.
The cicada's flames resisted it but this dragon blizzard was too huge, because it had Fang Yuan's support, it quickly gained the upper hand and suppressed the cicada in the middle of it.
The phoenix song flame on the cicada was very stubborn, it only dissipated after a few hours.
Meanwhile, the dragon blizzard transformed into a piece of ice and sealed the cicada.
Currently, the cicada had shrunk to the size of only a palm.
When the blizzard stopped, Fang Yuan carefully retrieved the frozen cicada, next, he breathed out some warm air as the ice melted, revealing the cicada inside.
The cicada seemed to be a work of art, it was very exquisite. Fang Yuan pinched the cicada with his fingers.
Crack crack.
The cicada's surface started to crack, next, a rank seven Spring Autumn Cicada awakened and flew out.
Fang Yuan's gaze flashed with joy.
"It had not been easy!"
"After so many failures, I've finally refined Spring Autumn Cicada to rank seven."
At this point, Fang Yuan had modified almost all of the refinement methods already. The ghost hand purification method was created by fusing great thief ghost hand killer move and Soul Beast Token. Even though this method had great effect, it would easily leave ghost qi behind. Thus, Fang Yuan chose the rank eight immortal material phoenix song flame to get rid of the ghost qi and also temper the cicada. Eventually, he used the dragon blizzard which was also not normal, it was actually a modification of the slumbering lightning python killer move.
Refinement path had four publicly recognized strongest immortal killer moves to deal with immortal materials. One of them was slumbering lightning python.
Fang Yuan modified it into a dragon blizzard, it suited him more and was better for the Spring Autumn Cicada refinement.
With all these reasons, his hard work paid off in the end, Fang Yuan succeeded in obtaining rank seven Spring Autumn Cicada.
"With rank seven Spring Autumn Cicada and my time path great grandmaster attainment level, I can totally use Spring Autumn Cicada as the core to deduce an immortal killer move and prevent getting into Heavenly Court's trap!"
Fang Yuan's gaze flickered with uncertainty.
Last time, when he entered the River of Time, he was ambushed by Heavenly Court because they had used a method to deceive Spring Autumn Cicada.
Back then, Spring Autumn Cicada was only rank six, now it was rank seven and if he had a relevant immortal killer move, even if Heavenly Court used a rank eight method to deceive Spring Autumn Cicada, they would not succeed easily.
"The best situation is to use rank seven Spring Autumn Cicada as the core, along with a supplementary rank eight spring Gu, to create a rank eight immortal killer move. When I enter the River of Time, I will not fear Heavenly Court's trap while also expanding my search range."
Of course, the most straightforward way was to raise Spring Autumn Cicada to rank eight.
But it was too hard.
Currently, Fang Yuan could not refine rank eight Immortal Gu.
On one hand, even though he had extremely high refinement path attainment level, his foundation was shaky, his refinement path methods needed practice.
On the other hand, he lacked finances. Back then, Old Ancestor Xue Hu had expended all his wealth and the entire foundation of Snowy Mountain before he was able to try and refine rank eight Immortal Gu Fortune Rivalling Heaven.
Of course, Fang Yuan's foundation was very deep now. Not to mention his countless fortuitous encounters, just his wealth after extorting the Southern Border experts and the inheritance of the Five Xiangs, it could be said that his foundation rivaled some super forces now.
He had many Immortal Gu, even though he lost the incomplete Immortal Gu House, he still had dozens of them left. He had ample cultivation resources too of varying types, he did not just focus on one path.
The only shortcoming was his weak subordinates.
When Hei Lou Lan and the others reached rank seven, along with the three enslaved Qi clan Gu Immortals, Fang Yuan would finally match a true super force! Even though he could not compare to Southern Border's Wu clan or Western Desert's Fang clan, he would still be first rate, surpassing ordinary super forces, leagues above Chu Du's Chu tribe.
"I can give some rank six and seven resources to Ying Wu Xie and the rest."
"Other than nurturing them, I need to refine Immortal Gu next!"
Most of the Immortal Gu that Fang Yuan was using extensively were still at rank six.
For example, Self Strength, Pulling Mountain, Pulling Water, Strength Qi, Unravel Mystery, Dog Shit Luck, Qi Luck, Luck Inspection, Connect Luck, Time Luck…
And most importantly for now, Landscape as Before, Man as Before, and day Gu.
If he raised the ranks of these three time path Immortal Gu, Fang Yuan's battle strength in terms of time path would surge greatly.
His current focus was truly on time path.
Even though sword path, soul path, wisdom path, and others had huge room for improvement, when he fought in the River of Time, he would need time path methods.
"It is a pity that Lang Ya Sect went to Longevity Heaven, my refinement path methods still need lots of work. If those hairy man Gu Immortals can help me refine Gu, I can save a lot of time and energy."
Fang Yuan expressed deep regret towards this.
He had made use of Lang Ya Sect too conveniently in the past, now that they were gone, he had to work hard and expend great effort, even though Fang Yuan did not mind the trouble, too much of his time was used, he was no longer as free as before.
"And refining Gu has a problem, the success rate!"
The refinement to raise an Immortal Gu's rank had low success rate, the higher the rank, the higher the chances of failure.
Fang Yuan wanted to refine rank seven Gu, it would be harder than creating rank six.
Once he fails, the original rank six Immortal Gu might even be destroyed, in that case, he would need to start over and refine the rank six before trying for seven again. If the Immortal Gu is refined by someone else during the period of its destruction, he would truly lose everything.

Chapter 1646: Fang Zheng's Immortal Ascension
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Central Continent.
The sky was dark and gloomy, there was no wind.
Gu Yue Fang Zheng stood at a mountain peak, looking at the sky, he felt a bit of nervousness thinking about his upcoming immortal ascension tribulation.
Sensing his emotion, Fang Zheng laughed to himself, thinking: "Why am I nervous? Immortal Crane Sect should be the nervous one, or rather, the Heavenly Court behind them."
"On the surface, there is only one rank six Gu Immortal in charge of guarding my ascension, but there must be many eyes watching me in secret, with these people around, what is there to worry about?"
Even though Fang Zheng did not know why Central Continent wanted to support him, he had confirmed that he was valuable and of use to them.
In the past, he would not accept being a pawn like this. Back in Qing Mao Mountain, Fang Yuan had hinted that he was used by his uncle and aunt as the tool to fight for the inheritance, this made Fang Zheng very angry.
But now, Fang Zheng no longer felt anger towards this.
In the last decade or so, Fang Zheng had experienced the war in Lang Ya blessed land's three continents. In order to nurture the most elite hairy man Gu Immortals, the black haired land spirit disregarded the price and made the hairy men of the three continent fight in an intense war, Fang Zheng was implicated.
Surrounded by schemes and plots, bloodshed and war, Fang Zheng had made use of people, and was also made use of.
He gradually understood that sometimes, becoming someone's pawn and being used was not a bad thing. At the very least, it proved his worth. If a person did not have value to even be a tool, then he was in danger, he would be discarded like a faulty tool.
Of course, even though Fang Zheng had rank five Gu Master strength, he also had experiences of being abandoned and betrayed. As a human living among the hairy men, it was natural to be ostracized and isolated.
"We can begin." At this time, Fan Xi Liu's voice resounded in Fang Zheng's ears.
Fan Xi Liu had rank six cultivation level, he was sent over by Immortal Crane Sect to help Fang Zheng undergo tribulation.
Fang Zheng nodded, he calmed down and looked inside him.
His aperture was quickly seen, it was filled with primeval essence that showed his A grade talent, but his walls were filled with cracks. Anyone would feel nervous upon seeing it, after all, the aperture was the basis of a Gu Master's cultivation. With so many cracks, it was definitely a severe issue!
Fang Zheng was relatively calm now, his nervousness had vanished.
In fact, during a battle in Lang Ya blessed land, he had used a forbidden technique while in a desperate situation, even though he survived, his aperture was severely damaged and filled with cracks, his A grade aptitude fell to B grade.
Fang Zheng was saved by Feng Jiu Ge, after returning to Central Continent, his injuries in the aperture were healed, he returned to having A grade aptitude. But the cracks in his aperture walls still remained, it was not that Heavenly Court could not heal him, but they left those for him to undergo his immortal ascension tribulation more easily.
Fang Zheng observed his aperture, he had once felt extremely proud of his A grade talent, but after these life experiences, he no longer cared about aptitude so greatly. Right now, his gaze was stuck at the cracks in his aperture.
To him, these were his achievements, he had gained these wounds from bloodshed and war, it was his glory.
"Goodbye, my aperture." Fang Zheng muttered.
As he willed, the primeval essence in his aperture surged and crashed into the surrounding walls.
There were cracks in his aperture to begin with, it was not sturdy, soon, the cracks intensified as holes formed.
The complete aperture finally connected to the outside world, a mysterious power was forming.
This power drew in the heaven and earth qi of the outside world, at once, dark clouds rumbled in the sky, the earth was shaking, dust clouds were forming.
At the same time, a formless heavenly power held up Fang Zheng and allowed him to float into the sky.
"Heaven's will!" Fan Xi Liu who was watching in concealment sensed abundant heaven's will.
Fang Zheng's tribulation had drawn the attention of heaven's will, far beyond normal!
The calamities and tribulations started forming, a large amount of blood qi was converted from the heaven and earth qi, the dark clouds in the sky were quickly dyed red, the scale was huge, they could be seen from an enormous distance.
"Blood path tribulation…" Joy flashed in Fan Xi Liu's eyes, the blood path tribulation was what the higher-ups wanted to see.
Fang Zheng's aura started to spread out.
This was his human qi.
Every person had their own human qi, the scale was decided based on their foundation, talent, and abilities.
Fan Xi Liu observed Fang Zheng carefully, soon, he had a look of surprise on his face.
Fang Zheng's human qi was extremely dense, it showed how much life experiences and foundation he possessed.
Heaven qi was raining down while earth qi was bubbling up, both intertwined in the air with human qi.
Fang Zheng had a solemn expression, he tried to control the three qi and balance them.
The three qi had just started interacting and now was the best time to get used to controlling them. Fang Zheng had received Fan Xi Liu's guidance, he was aware of this.
But at this time, the calamities and tribulations were completed, a large amount of rain fell.
These raindrops were all blood droplets, they were extremely bloody. As the blood rained down, white fog started to appear in the air. The white fog was quickly dyed red by the rain, turning the entire mountain into an eerie red color.
Fang Zheng started to undergo tribulation. He put up his defenses and activated Gu worms to resist the blood rain.
At this time, whenever he used a Gu worm, he would suffer a backlash. Soon, his Gu worms died from the backlash.
This was also why Gu Masters would often lose all of their Gu worms after immortal ascension.
But Fang Zheng was supported by Heavenly Court and had deep preparation, he did not lack Gu worms.
He calmed down and defended himself, not panicking.
During Lang Ya blessed land's wars, he had experienced far more dangerous situations, he was adequately prepared for this.
Fan Xi Liu was much more nervous than Fang Zheng.
He stared at Fang Zheng without blinking.
Rank five Gu Masters usually had a lot of difficulty in their immortal ascension. Because they not only had to deal with the calamities and tribulations, but also control the three qi and maintain balance between them.
"I can help you to block this blood rain tribulation for a while, but the balancing of the three qi will depend on you, Fang Zheng! Before the tribulation, I had given you ample training, you cannot fail at the crucial moment." Fan Xi Liu thought to himself as he started to disrupt the blood clouds, affecting their size and influence.
Even though this blood rain tribulation was huge, it was not too overbearing, it seems that heaven's will had done this intentionally.
Fang Zheng's tribulation was peaceful, be it internally or externally.
The three qi fused properly, scenes of the past flashed in his mind as his body became tempered and elevated.
Next, during the heaven and earth resonance, he entered the most crucial moment of this immortal ascension. During this period, he could gain natural inspiration and communicate with heaven and earth.
This communication was extremely beneficial to any Gu Master.
Fang Zheng realized at this moment that blood path really suited himself.
Time passed, the three qi condensed and formed into a lump of qi.
Fang Zheng suddenly opened his eyes, he breathed in deeply and tossed a rank five blood path Gu into the lump of qi.
Boom!
A shocking sound exploded around him, the qi lump burst out and turned into an immortal aperture.
Instantly, Fang Zheng's mind became blank, he was completely defenseless at this moment.
A moment later, he regained his senses, he started to put his vital Gu and important Gu worms into his immortal aperture. The first one he put in was blood revenge Immortal Gu of course, followed by a large number of blood path mortal Gu.
Within the immortal aperture, the three qi were conditioned and balanced, the world gradually stabilized.
He obviously gained a high grade blessed land!
There was also a lot of heaven and earth qi remaining.
Fang Zheng was overjoyed, these heaven and earth qi could raise his vital blood path mortal Gu into an Immortal Gu!
Even though this was dangerous and there would be following calamity or tribulation, Fang Zheng was courageous enough to choose this option.
"Fang Zheng, quickly let me in, I will help you with the tribulation!" Fan Xi Liu transmitted.
"Hmm?" Fang Zheng frowned, showing displeasure. The immortal aperture was the most private area of the Gu Immortal, Fan Xi Liu was infringing on it, Fang Zheng felt a sense of anger.
But immediately, Fang Zheng relaxed his brows, he opened the immortal aperture door and said plainly: "Sure, Fan Xi Liu, please enter."
Fan Xi Liu was surprised, Fang Zheng had just become an immortal, the process was not over yet but he had already changed his manner of speech with such a natural attitude.
"However, Heavenly Court seems be nurturing Fang Zheng greatly for the sake of dealing with Fang Yuan. I am actually quite envious of him."
Several hours later, Fang Zheng's tribulation was passed, Fan Xi Liu's envy rose again.
It was because Fang Zheng's vital Gu was successfully refined into his second blood path Immortal Gu.
Cold blood Immortal Gu!
Several days later, Immortal Crane Sect announced to the Gu Immortal world that Fang Zheng succeeded in his immortal ascension, he was once harmed by the vicious demon Fang Yuan, he was saved luckily and would now become one of the main forces of dealing with the demon Fang Yuan.
COMMENT
Due to Heavenly Court's intentional propagation, news spread throughout the five regions, Fang Yuan's reputation was hit, his situation of being deserted by family and kin was highlighted, while Heavenly Court promoted its own magnanimity.
Several days later.
"Spirit Affinity Fairy, goodbye." Above the clouds, Fan Xi Liu smiled as he spoke to Zhao Lian Yun.
Zhao Lian Yun smiled: "Thanks for hosting."
She heard that Fang Zheng succeeded in his tribulation so she came to visit him. Unfortunately, Fang Zheng was not meeting anyone, he was hidden by Immortal Crane Sect.
Fan Xi Liu did not dare to be rude to Zhao Lian Yun, she was the current generation fairy of Spirit Affinity House, even though she had rank six cultivation level, she controlled rank nine love Gu.
Fan Xi Liu assured: "I will definitely pass your gift to Fang Zheng personally."
Zhao Lian Yun nodded as she thanked him and flew away.

Fang Zheng blessed land.
His space path and time path resources were higher than normal, this was a high grade blessed land.
The terrain of the blessed land was mostly flat, but across some distance, there would be several tall erected mountains.
Fang Zheng's focus was currently fully on a valley.
This valley was covered in weird rugged rocks, it was completely blood red. Upon entering it, one would notice that the valley was filled with blood flower trees.
There were tens of thousands of such trees, they were different from ordinary trees, they bore fruits before flowers. The fruits were the size of a baby's fist, round and smooth. The flowering only took an instant as the fruit shell would explode into a huge flower that was white and red. The flower was white at the base while the core of the flower resembled splattered blood. Each of these blood flowers had different colors and shapes.
In Central Continent, there was once a time where Gu Masters cultivated these blood flower trees on large scales. Each time they bloomed, the scene would be grand. There were even huge ceremonies just to lure these Gu Masters to see them. But later, blood path was created and caused great problems to the world, blood flower trees were a basic Gu material in blood path, they were banned from being planted.
Fang Zheng's blood flower trees were all provided by Immortal Crane Sect, or more accurately, by Fan Xi Liu as a proxy.
This was the trick of the righteous path, Fang Zheng was already used to it, feeling no surprise.
In the current five regions, blood path was outlawed by the righteous path, but ironically, the ones who truly researched blood path were these righteous path forces.
"These blood flower trees are all mortal Gu materials, but as long as their numbers go up, I can use them in huge quantities, they will be equivalent to immortal materials. This is blood path's most unique advantage!"
"These blood flower trees that I have are also a source of immortal materials in a way."
"But now, I already have rank six blood path Immortal Gu Cold Blood and Blood Revenge, they need mortal blood path Gu to supplement them and form immortal killer moves."
Fang Zheng understood that his focus now was to refine blood path mortal Gu and practice the blood path immortal killer move that Fan Xi Liu imparted him.
Because he had just ascended, the immortal aperture was very different from his original aperture, he needed time to adapt to it.
After looking for a while, Fang Zheng retracted his attention to the real world.
The joy and feeling of achievement from looking at his immortal aperture slowly faded, they were replaced by a feeling of pressure in his mind.
"Fang Yuan…" Back in the real world, Fang Zheng could not help but think of his brother.
These last days, he had not only undergone his immortal ascension, he had also obtained information about Fang Yuan from Fan Xi Liu. The information was much more detailed than what circulated in the outside world, it was from Heavenly Court.
Fang Zheng learned about Fang Yuan's situation, as for the fact that Fang Yuan did not die, he had known that when he was saved and returned to Central Continent. But strangely, when he learned the truth, he did not feel any rage from being deceived.
In contrast, the more he learned, the more sadness he felt in his heart.
"It turns out, I have never truly understood you… Fang Yuan."
"Otherworldly demon… Spring Autumn Cicada… rank eight cultivation level…"
The more he knew, the more minuscule he felt, the more he could feel Fang Yuan's terrifying strength!
Thinking that he had to face such a person in the future, he felt a bit of depression and also a hint of despair.
He faced the despair deep in his heart.
He did not deny it or try to avoid it.
Humans often said that a youth knows no fear, when one is young, they fear nothing and have strong drive and motivation. But after a person experiences a lot, they would learn about their own fears. Tigers would eat people, tiger claws would harm people, one's own strength was not as strong as they think.
Imagination was wonderful, but only after facing reality would one feel pain, understanding the world and themselves during this painful process.
"When I was a rank five Gu Master, I was engaged in the hairy man war in Lang Ya blessed land, I lived a difficult life wandering about."
"But now as a Gu Immortal, I am stuck between Fang Yuan and Heavenly Court, becoming a pawn. Even though my strength has grown greatly, my freedom has dwindled, I am facing greater danger now, I can die if any mishaps occur."
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng smiled bitterly to himself.
Even now, he did not know what value he had for Heavenly Court to put so much focus on him.
Soon, he thought of Zhao Lian Yun.
When he ascended, he received some congratulatory gifts. This was the custom of the five regions, whenever a Gu Master becomes an immortal, their friends and family, or even the forces they were friendly with, would send them gifts.
Fang Zheng's gifts mostly came from Immortal Crane Sect, Zhao Lian Yun's one was quite memorable as a result.
From Immortal Crane Sect's information, Fang Zheng gained a deep understanding of Zhao Lian Yun.
"You are also an otherworldly demon, although not completely."
"You looked for me so proactively, I assume you want to join up and deal with Fang Yuan…"
Zhao Lian Yun's gifts included a letter that expressed her goodwill, but she did not say much. Fang Zheng could tell what she wanted from her subtle words.
Zhao Lian Yun gave him one of the cultivation methods for growing a blood type plant resource, it suited Fang Zheng. She even described her own cultivation experiences, Fang Zheng was very mindful of a certain paragraph.
"In Gu Immortal cultivation, combat is the path of domination, while immortal aperture management is the path of supremacy, the two are complementary and necessary. Without enough battle strength and dominance, no matter how well the immortal aperture is developed, one will only get bullied, they will hand over their hard earned spoils to others. But if one has great battle strength and lacking immortal aperture foundation, they will be like a blazing flame, only able to stay lit for some time, when they run out of firewood, they would only end up as smoke."
Fang Zheng nodded to himself, thinking: "Other than this, her descriptions of the calamities and tribulations are also very useful. I can see that this Zhao Lian Yun is very sincere, it is a pity that Immortal Crane Sect is not allowing us to meet, what a pity indeed! Don't you think so, Fang Yuan?"
Saying so, Fang Zheng's gaze froze.
In his early years, he was accompanied by his master Lord Sky Crane, inside Lang Ya blessed land, he was together with Fang Yuan's fake will. But now, in Central Continent, he was alone.
Unknowingly, Fang Zheng had gotten used to accompaniment.
"Without you, I am not used to it…" Fang Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, an indescribable sense of loneliness permeated in his heart.
Heavenly Court.
Fairy Zi Wei smiled in joy: "Fang Zheng has become a Gu Immortal, but he needs to raise his cultivation level to become a useful counter against Fang Yuan."
Fairy Zi Wei knew about Zhao Lian Yun's intention. After all, even though Ma Hong Yun died, his soul was still kept by Fang Yuan.
Fairy Zi Wei frowned: "The true problem is still Fang Yuan himself."
Ever since Fang Yuan broke out of the River of Time's encirclement, he had vanished, no longer appearing in public.
Fairy Zi Wei would prefer that he went around scavenging for resources. At least in that case, he would leave behind many traces and she would deduce many useful things, and even find a way to break his wisdom path defenses.
In Fairy Zi Wei's view, Fang Yuan was very strong in battle strength, but the more terrifying thing was his management skills. Every time he stayed secluded for a while, he would experience a huge rise in strength, his speed of progress was simply very shocking.
This was the result of his skillful management.
Because he had such a sturdy foundation, it could support his terrifying growth in battle strength.
"Right now, Spectral Soul is slowly losing his control, we are getting more and more information that is of high importance."
"In the River of Time, the time path Immortal Gu House has been repaired, we have four in total now. The earlier time path formation needs to be modified further."
"At the same time, we cannot let Fang Yuan live comfortably, I should contact Wu Yong."
Some days later.
Intense winds blew.
Fang Yuan pushed forward with his palm, the strong force of the killer move went into the immortal aperture's entrance and permeated Lou Lan blessed land.
Hei Lou Lan's tribulation was destroyed instantly.
Hei Lou Lan's eyes twitched slightly but her expression was unchanging. She stood in her immortal aperture as she thanked Fang Yuan, who was outside.
"No need to thank me." Fang Yuan looked at Lou Lan blessed land, it was quite poor, it could not be compared with the sovereign immortal aperture. Even though Hei Lou Lan had high aptitude, she had never truly developed her immortal aperture properly.
This was what Fang Yuan wanted.
He could give Hei Lou Lan cultivation resources, she had to rely on him for this, it was a form of control over her.
In fact, Ying Wu Xie, Bai Ning Bing, and the rest were all in similar situations.
"Quickly leave, my wisdom path methods can only block them for some time, moreover, each time, the tribulations will greatly influence my methods." Fang Yuan urged.
"Okay." Hei Lou Lan nodded, she did not dare to be careless, quickly storing her immortal aperture and entering the sovereign immortal aperture.
Fang Yuan used Fixed Immortal Travel to leave immediately, Wu Yong and the rest who came at full speed failed to catch him.
"Damn it! He escaped again."
"This lingering aura, someone underwent tribulation again…"
The Southern Border Gu Immortals had ugly expressions, some were furious, some were solemn, while some were fearful.
"This is the fourth one… evidently, Fang Yuan is helping his lackeys undergo tribulation to raise their cultivation levels. If this continues, the situation will not be good."
COMMENT
Wu Yong had a grim expression, a cold light flashed in his eyes as he said slowly: "Fang Yuan has Fixed Immortal Travel, he can escape rapidly, we can only set up many Beacon Towers and work together in treasure yellow heaven to restrict his businesses and reduce his profits. Eventually, this will become our advantage."
Jade light flickered in Qi Sea grotto-heaven as Fang Yuan appeared out of nowhere.
"We are safe for now."
"They are starting to target my businesses in treasure yellow heaven…" Fang Yuan snickered.
He did feel pressure, but because he had recently devoured the Five Xiang's public grotto-heaven and Qi Sea grotto-heaven, he gained a vast amount of resources, even if his businesses were suppressed, there was no issue.
But this was obviously Heavenly Court and Southern Border working together, if he allowed them to continue, Fang Yuan would not be able to endure it.
He had obtained a lot of resources from the Southern Border Gu Immortal captives, but precisely because they knew about these resources, they could target these businesses efficiently.
"I need to think of a plan." Fang Yuan gaze flickered with consideration.

Chapter 1648: Conflict Between Miao and Ren
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Eastern Sea.
Swish swish swish!
Waves crashed onto the rocks by the island shore, bursting into white bubbles upon impact.
Wicked winds howled, the sky was dark.
This uninhibited island was not eye-catching in the huge Eastern Sea, but it actually hid four Gu Immortals.
"Ren Xiu Ping, you are too much!" Miao Ming Shen shouted angrily with bloodshot eyes, he was injured, expressing intense anger and hatred in his eyes.
He was a famous lone cultivator in Eastern Sea, having rank seven cultivation level and cultivating space path, he had a method to increase the size of immortal apertures. He did that as a way of living, expanding the immortal apertures of many Eastern Sea Gu Immortals, he was quite popular.
Miao Ming Shen 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.
In terms of appearance, he was unassuming. But he was an ambitious person, being very good at building relationships, he had a lot of charisma. Three Eastern Sea lone immortals, Immortal Hua Die, Feng Jiang, and Gui Qi Ye all looked to Miao Ming Shen as their leader, the four were a group of Gu Immortals with common interests.
But now, Gui Qi Ye was unconscious, his body was covered in a poisonous purple color, he was in great danger.
Feng Jiang and Immortal Hua Die who were standing beside Miao Ming Shen were in bad states too, they had evidently gotten injured from a serious battle.
"Lord Miao Ming Shen, what do we do? Gui Qi Ye was hit by the ice poison starfish, we do not have the way to heal him." Immortal Hua Die was very worried.
Not long ago, the four of them had fallen for Ren Xiu Ping's plot.
Ren Xiu Ping had rank seven peak cultivation level and was an enslavement path Gu Immortal, he wanted to assassinate Miao Ming Shen using the ice poison starfish. But at the crucial moment, Gui Qi Ye blocked this fatal attack for Miao Ming Shen.
Miao Ming Shen reacted and quickly brought the unconscious Gui Qi Ye, as well as Feng Jiang and Immortal Hua Die, out of the trap through a fierce battle.
Feng Jiang's expression was cold as ice: "The ice poison starfish might have a troublesome poison, but I've heard that Su Chen and Fairy Jiu Yue can heal it."
Su Chen was a member of the super force Su clan, he specialized in healing and was famous in Eastern Sea, he was quite a kind person.
Meanwhile, Fairy Jiu Yue was a lone cultivator, she was cold and aloof, the price was high if they wanted to get her help.
Miao Ming Shen shook his head: "I am not going to turn to these two. Su Chen is from Su clan, while Fairy Jiu Yue has some relationship with Ren Xiu Ping, others might not know but I am certain of this. I am highly suspicious that Fairy Jiu Yue might be a trap set by that old scoundrel Ren Xiu Ping!"
"Ah? Then…" Immortal Hua Die did not know what to say.
Miao Ming Shen smiled forcefully: "Have you forgotten? Ice poison starfish's poison can be removed with underworld yellow water."
Feng Jiang stared with wide eyes: "Underworld yellow water is a rank eight immortal material, even in Eastern Sea it is very rare, lord, you have it?"
Miao Ming Shen shook his head: "Of course not, I am going to use the extreme time pole to exchange for it."
Feng Jiang and Immortal Hua Die understood at once.
Extreme time pole was a rank eight time path immortal material, Miao Ming Shen had obtained it long ago, he could not bear to sell it. Feng Jiang and Immortal Hua Die knew this.
Immortal Hua Die's expression changed, she said with pity: "Extreme time pole is an extremely rare rank eight time path immortal material, why don't we use other rank eight immortal materials to exchange for the underworld yellow water."
Miao Ming Shen shook his head again: "Rank eight immortal materials are usually exclusively traded with each other. If I use other things to request for the underworld yellow water, others will not want to exchange it for my immortal material, and even if someone wants my rank eight immortal material, they might not have underworld yellow water."
"But now, you all know that Heavenly Court and Southern Border are trying to stop Fang Yuan from doing his business, they are also gathering time path immortal materials and buying them out. Time path immortal materials are now very high in demand, the price is rising sharply. Heavenly Court has a deep foundation, they definitely have underworld yellow water. I will definitely get it if I offer the extreme time pole."
"Lord…" Feng Jiang was hesitant, he remembered that Miao Ming Shen had almost died when he obtained this extreme time pole, he paid a huge price.
Miao Ming Shen laughed loudly, patting Feng Jiang's shoulder: "How can I let him die in front of me? So what if I have to give up the extreme time pole?"
Feng Jiang and Immortal Hua Die were very moved, they did not follow the wrong leader after all!
As expected, the situation went as Miao Ming Shen predicted, once his extreme time pole appeared, Heavenly Court took notice and the two sides soon traded, Miao Ming Shen obtained a huge amount of underworld yellow water.
He used the underworld yellow water to cleanse Gui Qi Ye's body, he used just the right amount, after all, this water was also corrosive on an undefended Gu Immortal body.
After meticulously cleansing him, the ice poison starfish's poison was fully neutralized.
Not long ago, Gui Qi Ye woke up and opened his eyes.
After learning that Miao Ming Shen had paid such a huge price to save him, he felt extremely moved.
However, he was not an expressive person, he kept his gratitude inside him and said to Miao Ming Shen: "Lord, that old scoundrel Ren Xiu Ping suddenly attacked us, he must be after the blue dragon whale."
Miao Ming Shen sighed: "I think so too, Ren Xiu Ping had always wanted to work together and enter the blue dragon whale to excavate the hidden Paradise Earth true inheritance. But his price is simply not sincere. This time, he actually attacked us, I was truly caught unguarded. What idea do you have, tell me."
Gui Qi Ye nodded: "Lord, you know the blue dragon whale's location, this secret has already been exposed, it is too hard to guard this secret anymore. We should invite people to explore the blue dragon whale instead. When we gain the inheritance inside and increase our strength, we can deal with that Ren Xiu Ping. Otherwise, with our strength now, we cannot defeat that guy. He also has a bunch of lone immortals helping him, as a crafty person, once he senses something amiss, he might spread the news and lure more people to us!"
Miao Ming Shen's gaze flickered: "Instead of waiting for that to happen and letting Ren Xiu Ping gather his people, we should seek reinforcements now. This idea is good, it is our only choice. It is a pity, if I had rank eight cultivation level, we would be able to explore it ourselves."
Gui Qi Ye added: "Lord, we need to choose our reinforcements carefully."
Miao Ming Shen nodded, he looked at the three immortals, asking: "Of course I know, what recommendations do you have?"
The three immortals gave their suggestions.
Miao Ming Shen nodded at times while shaking his head occasionally, he chose a few of them that were suitable, and eliminated some more from among them for safety.
The most important thing was dependability.
But this way, they had few people, even if they worked together, they could not break the first hurdle, they would not be able to enter the blue dragon whale's inner world.
At this time, Immortal Hua Die voiced: "I have a suggestion, does lord remember this person called Chu Ying?"
"Chu Ying." Miao Ming Shen's eyes shined: "Brilliant, this person has rank seven cultivation level and cultivates transformation path, he even has grudges with Ren Xiu Ping. But he is truly too secretive, I have not found any more information on him since then…"
Saying this, he showed hesitation again.

Chapter 1649: Regret
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Paradise Earth's true inheritance?" Within Five Xiang's public grotto-heaven, Fang Yuan received Miao Ming Shen's letter, inviting him to join the exploration of the blue dragon whale.
A light of pondering flashed in Fang Yuan's eyes.
Miao Ming Shen had actually clashed with Ren Xiu Ping, he decided to explore the blue dragon whale ahead of time, this was out of Fang Yuan's expectations.
In the memories of the five hundred years of his previous life, this was too early.
"Maybe it was because of the increasing influence of my rebirth, Miao Ming Shen and Ren Xiu Ping's conflict turned out earlier than expected."
"Maybe the five hundred years of memories were tampered with to begin with. After all, heaven's will was lurking inside Spring Autumn Cicada, it could act very easily if it wanted to."
"There is another possibility, Heavenly Court plotted and deduced my relationship with Miao Ming Shen, so they used this chance to deal with me."
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan calmed his mind and closed his eyes, starting his deduction.
A while later, he opened his eyes, gaining his conclusion: "With all the clues that I have, there is little possibility that Heavenly Court planned this against me, it seems I have to go Eastern Sea now."
Right now in the five regions, Northern Plains and Central Continent had Heavenly Court and Longevity Heaven, they were extremely dangerous for Fang Yuan. For the remaining three regions, Fang Yuan was most familiar with Southern Border. Especially since he had stayed in Wu clan for some time, and had captured many Southern Border Gu Immortals, he knew a lot of information about their super forces.
There was another reason, Shadow Sect's headquarters were set in Southern Border, they had the most operations in Southern Border with many natural immortal formations set up in secret. These were all hidden and unexposed.
With many of the above reasons, Fang Yuan chose to stay in Southern Border.
Even when Hei Lou Lan and the rest underwent tribulation, they were in Southern Border.
Even though the five regions had different heaven and earth qi, forcefully undergoing tribulation outside the home region would harm the immortal aperture, but Fang Yuan did not want them to develop their apertures well anyway. He took care of their cultivation resources, it gave him great control over them.
During this period of time, Fang Yuan had already refined the many Immortal Gu from Qi Sea grotto-heaven, they were usable to him now.
The resources in Qi Sea grotto-heaven and the Five Xiang's public grotto-heaven were also starting to be absorbed.
The remaining rank nine killer move heaven form was very stubborn, it resisted Fang Yuan's refinement. But he was still making progress, in time, he would definitely be able to use it.
Fang Yuan was troubled now because his businesses in treasure yellow heaven were obstructed by Heavenly Court and Southern Border's righteous path, they succeeded in becoming an obstacle for his economic profits.
Fang Yuan thought of many ways to compete with them, but the results were not good.
Be it Central Continent's Heavenly Court or Southern Border's righteous path, they were rich and had deep foundations, Fang Yuan's capital could not match them.
The easiest way to solve this problem was to engage in a monopoly business like guts Gu. But that required countless guts Gu, Fang Yuan lacked souls, even though Dang Hun Mountain was repaired, the production could not be raised.
His plan in green ghost desert had fallen through, if he had succeeded, right now against Southern Border and Central Continent, he would not have any problems.
Qing Chou had gone missing, while the rest of the Western Desert super forces were now finding trouble with Fang clan, they had a hard time raising their statuses.
Fang Yuan had thought of using Fang clan, but he had reservations about this, because his Suan Bu Jin identity was already exposed by Heavenly Court.
His decision to plan for green ghost desert was correct in hindsight. It was a pity that the situation turned out quite different from his expected results.
This way, Fang Yuan's income started to dwindle. And worse was that Central Continent's Heavenly Court was buying all the time path immortal materials they could find.
As long as there were time path immortal materials, Heavenly Court would basically pay them whatever they wanted. During this time in treasure yellow heaven, time path immortal materials were extremely popular.
This was problematic for Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan's income had already fallen, he wanted to refine time path Immortal Gu to raise his battle strength in the River of Time, but now, Heavenly Court was oppressively stopping him.
Heavenly Court had been created since the Remote Antiquity Era, after countless years of accumulation, how could Fang Yuan contest them?
Fang Yuan's improvement in time path was very marginal, while Heavenly Court obtained a lot of time path immortal materials, they might even be able to refine a fifth Immortal Gu House.
In this situation, Fang Yuan's hopes of obtaining Red Lotus' true inheritance were dwindling.
"I need a lot of time path immortal materials to refine time path Immortal Gu. Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable was an earth path venerable, the Paradise Earth true inheritance inside the blue dragon whale might not have many time path immortal materials. But even so, I must go!"
This was an uncertainty, nobody could say what he would gain.
Even if there were no time path immortal materials, the Paradise Earth true inheritance was definitely going to have some good things.
"Southern Border's rank eight Gu Immortal Lu Wei Yin is the current generation inheritor of Paradise Earth, if I can obtain this Paradise Earth true inheritance, I might gain a way to deal with him."
"The more important thing is that according to my memories, the blue dragon whale seems to contain the rank eight Immortal Gu Regret! In my previous life, Miao Ming Shen explored many times and did not obtain Paradise Earth's true inheritance, but he still gained a lot. Because there were many participating Gu Immortals, rumors of Immortal Gu Regret spread out."
Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable used Immortal Gu Regret as the core to create an immortal killer move famous throughout history — Regret and Repent. Using this move, he caused many demonic path Gu Immortals to change sides and realize their mistakes, they turned from evil to kind. This move had incredible achievements.
Immortal Gu Regret was naturally a wisdom path Immortal Gu.
Wisdom path had three elements of thoughts, wills, and emotions. Immortal Gu Regret was part of the emotion branch, because future Gu Immortals created a small path known as emotion path, Immortal Gu Regret was also part of emotion path.
In the long history of humanity, Immortal Gu Regret had appeared many times, sometimes rank six or rank seven, held in the hands of Gu Immortals of the five regions. When it went into Red Lotus Demon Venerable's hands, it seemed to have been refined to rank eight for the first time. Afterwards, Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable also obtained rank eight Immortal Gu Regret.
Fang Yuan had investigated deeply into Immortal Gu Regret.
Because he wanted to recreate Regret Pool.
Speaking of which, other than tributaries of the River of Time, Immortal Gu Regret was the core of Immortal Gu House Regret Pool.
But unfortunately, back then in Eastern Sea, the Regret Pool left behind was half-complete, it did not have Immortal Gu Regret.
"If this Paradise Earth true inheritance has rank eight Immortal Gu Regret, with this Gu, I will be able to replicate a portion of Regret Pool's power, it will help in refining Gu!"
This was what moved Fang Yuan the most.
In fact, Regret Pool was part of Fang Yuan's plans. He had extorted Southern Border's righteous path and painstakingly created the incomplete Immortal Gu House, he had some anticipation towards this. Unfortunately, the incomplete Immortal Gu House was destroyed in the River of Time, Fang Yuan could not retrieve any of the Gu worms.
Several days passed in an instant.
Eastern Sea.
Miao Ming Shen looked around, he was surrounded by eight Gu Immortals.
Of course, Fang Yuan was among them.
"Everyone." Miao Ming Shen said solemnly: "I have already explained the details of this expedition, I gave you all some time to consider. This is my first trip too, the risks are unknown, we might possibly die. If anyone wants to give up now, you can leave. I will definitely not stop anyone, I understand from the bottom of my heart."
Sea winds roared by everyone's ears.
Miao Ming Shen looked around again, nobody moved.
Paradise Earth's true inheritance was too valuable, even though there were few earth path Gu Immortals in Eastern Sea, with only one earth path Gu Immortal among everyone here, nobody wanted to give up.
Humans die for wealth and birds die for food.
Furthermore, Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable was the kindest venerable in history, he had never harmed a single person's life, his immortal inheritances were also known to be safe.
If anyone gave up this chance, they would be a fool!
"Alright, since everyone wants to join, let's make the alliance agreement." Miao Ming Shen was very excited.
For this trip, he had made ample preparations.
"Zeng Luo Zi, please go ahead." Miao Ming Shen cupped his fists as he spoke.
Zeng Luo Zi stepped forward.
He wore a white robe and had a skinny face, he had convex cheekbones and his eye bags were deep, bright light shined in his eyes.
He cultivated information path and was rank seven, Miao Ming Shen had talked to him long ago, he immediately said now: "This is the alliance agreement that we are going to set, everyone, take a look."
Zeng Luo Zi said that as many Gu Immortals shook, looking slightly surprised.
It turned out that the alliance agreement's information appeared in their minds at the same time.
Zeng Luo Zi's action was a show of strength, affirming his superior status among the group.
This Paradise Earth true inheritance expedition had just started but the Gu Immortals were already starting to compete between one another in the dark.
