Chapter 381: All must die!
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
Bai Ning Bing widened her eyes in shock as Fang Yuan suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
By now, Gu Masters already had a clear understanding of the three kings inheritance. And because she was at Fang Yuan's side, Bai Ning Bing had much deeper understanding of three kings inheritance.
However, precisely because of this 'deep understanding', she was even more shocked.
Fang Yuan's sudden appearance looked like a simple phenomenon but it contained astonishing implications!
"Bai Ning Bing, do you still remember our vow? I wonder if you still want Yang Gu now?" Fang Yuan did not mention how he appeared but looked at Bai Ning Bing with his unfathomable and abyssal gaze with his hands behind his back.
"Hmph, as if you don't know the answer." Bai Ning Bing snorted and narrowed her blue eyes.
She knew Fang Yuan would not speak aimlessly, he definitely had a motive: "It seems you need my help? Speak up, don't try to conceal anything, otherwise I will not help."
Fang Yuan laughed loudly without being moved: "Back at Shang clan city, we took a poison vow that if one side is in mortal danger, the other must help. I will tell you truthfully that not long later, I will be besieged by Gu Masters and I need you as my protector to block any obstruction towards my Gu refinement."
"Gu Masters' besiegement? Hehe, I am not surprised, there are plenty of Gu Masters who want to kill you. But refining Gu? What Gu are you refining?"
Fang Yuan was straightforward this time and told the whole story directly.
The most important thing now was that he needed Bai Ning Bing's full cooperation. This matter also could not be concealed. Bai Ning Bing was not someone so easy to fool.
If because of him hiding the truth, some misunderstanding occurred and caused the Gu refinement to fail in the end, it would be truly disastrous.
"What! This Gu Immortal blessed land's land spirit is still alive? You are refining an Immortal Gu? You have truly large guts, you are looking for your own doom! Wait a second. What did you say just now? You killed Tie Mu Bai, and also Wu Gui and Ku Mo?"
Fang Yuan kept it brief and said the whole story in a few sentences but the information it contained was huge, sending an enormous shock to Bai Ning Bing's mind.
She felt like she was listening to a story.
Fang Yuan did not speak anymore but directly took out his loot.
"These Gu!" Bai Ning Bing looked at the Gu worms Fang Yuan took out and was flabbergasted, even losing her self-control.
These Gu were genuine. They were the best proof.
"You really killed them?" Bai Ning Bing stared at Fang Yuan, shock clearly visible in her eyes.
Who was Tie Mu Bai?
He was Southern Border's super clan Tie clan's previous clan leader.
He was a genius with outstanding innate talent, his temperament was even more firm and unyielding.
His battle accomplishments in his whole life shone with splendor. And with his talent, he researched many battle tactics of the metal path, causing countless enemies to be terror-stricken by the mention of him.
At a young age, he roamed outside and his name spread throughout Southern Border. In his middle years, he ruled Tie clan with an iron fist and made everyone fear him. At his old age, he became an emperor of a region, his reputation spread wide with no one daring to disobey him!
He was venerated as the glory of Tie clan, radiance of the righteous path. When he announced his seclusion and retirement, many people, be it demonic path or righteous path, let out a breath of relief.
Now, he was out of seclusion and that shook many clans. Even Shang Yan Fei would have to bow in front of him to greet him.
The rank five Gu Master of Wu clan Wu Lan Shan was the cousin of the current Wu clan leader, but even she had to bow despite her pride when facing Tie Mu Bai.
And this Tie Mu Bai had died by Fang Yuan's hands!
Not only him, Wu Gui and Ku Mo, two rank five Gu Masters also lost their lives to Fang Yuan!
Even more absurdly, not only did they die, all their Gu worms were taken by Fang Yuan!!
"These three rank five Gu Masters really died with grievance…" even Bai Ning Bing, this outsider, felt stifled at the deaths of Tie Mu Bai and others.
"Alright, it is about time. Next, I will send you to King Quan Inheritance. Advance through the rounds according to my instructions. I need dog beasts, the more the better." Fang Yuan's tone was hasty.
"Hmph, I did not say I will help you." Bai Ning Bing's gaze flickered.
Fang Yuan smiled: "Don't worry, if I succeed, I will give Yang Gu to you. Besides, there will be other benefits as well. After leaving San Cha mountain, you can go wherever you want to, I won't stop you if you want to part ways and will also welcome you if you want to go together. But whether you agree or not, I will refine the Gu."
Bai Ning Bing was exasperated: "You! You shameless guy, you are relying on the poison vow to force me?"
If Fang Yuan was attacked and died while refining Gu, then according to the poison vow, Bai Ning Bing would also die. That is to say, Bai Ning Bing must protect Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan sighed, his tone became mild and even seemed to have a trace of gentleness: "Ning Bing, this is not a threat, but cooperation. Think about it, since Qing Mao mountain, we have been cooperating, and no dangers have been able to stop us as many enemies fell under our feet. This time is also not an exception. Weren't you always wanting Yang Gu? You can turn back to a male when you obtain it. Or have you have become fond of your female identity?"
Bai Ning Bing felt goosebumps all over her when she heard Fang Yuan call her Ning Bing.
And when she heard Fang Yuan's final sentence, she clearly knew Fang Yuan was spurring her; she could not help feeling provoked and shouted: "Shut your mouth!"
"It is settled then." Fang Yuan laughed loudly and waved his hand, giving Bai Ning Bing a dog enslavement Gu, then disappeared.
The scene before Bai Ning Bing also changed suddenly, and she was sent to the first round of King Quan Inheritance by the land spirit.
Fang Yuan suddenly appeared in front of Wu Lan Shan.
Wu Lan Shan got a shock when someone suddenly appeared in front of her. But she was a famed figure and a majestic rank five Gu Master, calming her mind in seconds.
"Little Beast King, it is you! You can casually enter and exit this place?" Wu Lan Shan retreated a step, sharp light blossoming in her beautiful eyes.
Fang Yuan pointed his little finger and shot out a bone spear.
Puchi!
There was a soft sound as the bone spear pierced through Wu Lan Shan's heart like lightning.
Wu Lan Shan's beautiful flower-like appearance seemed to be frozen as she looked at Fang Yuan incredulously: "You… you can use Gu?"
The moment she finished saying this, her aura dissipated indicating her demise.
Another rank five Gu Master died.
However, Fang Yuan did not obtain her rank five Gu.
The moment Wu Lan Shan died, a mysterious light burst out of her body and enveloped her three rank five Gu worms, tearing through space and bringing them away.
Fang Yuan was not surprised, he knew Wu clan had a rank six Immortal Gu called no loss Gu which possessed the mystical ability to retrieve precious Gu worms.
Although this blessed land could restricted Gu worms of rank one to five, it could not restrict Immortal Gu.
In fact, no blessed lands can restrict the abilities of Immortal Gu.
Fang Yuan took the rest of the rank four Gu which were also quite valuable. After that, he took out beast placenta Gu and swallowed Wu Lan Shan's aperture.
This was already the fourth rank five Gu Master's aperture.
Beast placenta Gu was nourished and looked like a delicate pottery, and gave a sleek feeling at touch.
Fang Yuan analyzed it and found the aptitude had increased to seventy-five percent.
The aptitude became more difficult to raise the higher it became. At first, the aptitude had directly raised to forty percent when the beast placenta Gu had swallowed just Tie Mu Bai's aperture. Later, it swallowed apertures of Wu Gui, Ku Mo and Wu Lan Shan in a row, and was only able to raise by another thirty-five percent.
"Of course, this has to do with the foundation of the Gu Master. There are altogether five rank five Gu Masters on San Cha mountain. But only Tie Mu Bai, Ku Mo and Wu Gui are at rank five peak stage; among them, Tie Mu Bai's foundation was the most profound with the huge amount of resources from Tie clan. Wu Lan Shan and Wang Xiao are both at rank five upper stage. And Chou Jiu is only at rank five initial stage. Killing these people might not be enough to raise the aptitude by another ten percent. But no worries, there are plenty of Gu Masters, Yi Huo, Kong Ri Tian and the rest, all of them must die!"
"Corpse dog is purple all over, its skin is slightly rotten, its lower back is crooked and its canines protrude out. Use Yin dogs to restrain them and you will definitely succeed."
"Choose the left path, the reward for that round is three tasks at once Gu which will be of great help to you."
"Next, you will encounter a heavy tai dog king. It is in a seriously injured state but is even more ferocious. You will need to sacrifice a lot of dogs to capture it. This dog king is the only heavy tai dog king in the first twenty rounds. At the twenty-second round, there will be a large group of wandering heavy tai dogs, you can use heavy tai dog king to directly recruit them without losing anything!"
There would be a voice guiding Bai Ning Bing every time she progressed through a round.
This voice was of the land spirit.
Immortal essence was scarce, the land spirit moved Bai Ning Bing to King Quan Inheritance and was not willing to misuse immortal essence on her.
Bai Ning Bing could only go through each round personally.
However, although the land spirit's control over the blessed land had fallen to rock bottom, it was extremely clear about the contents of three kings inheritance.
There was almost no loss in immortal essence for it to guide Bai Ning Bing, but to Bai Ning Bing, it was of extremely huge help; as if there was a bright lantern guiding Bai Ning Bing through the dark tunnel.
Bai Ning Bing was able to make best choice at every round and her strength continued to expand like a snowball.
"Next, you will encounter a Gu Master as your opponent. But no need to worry, he has just fought a huge battle and only has few dog beasts remaining, you will be able to eliminate him easily. At that time, I will confine him, and after you kill him and take his Gu, you can greatly increase the number of your Gu worms." The land spirit guided again.
Bai Ning Bing nodded and slowly walked out of the fog.
"It is you…" Her opponent was clearly shocked at her sight.
Bai Ning Bing was also stupefied, this person was none other than the person who had tried to make things difficult for her and Fang Yuan before he entered the inheritance; the Yun clan's young clan leader Yun Luo Tian.
Yun Luo Tian arrogantly snorted: "You are called Bai Ning Bing, right? It is your bad luck you ran into me, you don't even have half the amount of dogs I have…"
He had not even finished speaking when he stopped. His eyes opened wide and his throat let out a strange ka ka sound like a rooster that had its throat jammed.
From the mist behind Bai Ning Bing, a large numbers of dog beasts walked out one after another.
Endlessly…

Chapter 382: Continue Killing
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
"Impossible! How can you have so many dog beasts?!" Yun Luo Tian screamed, pointing at Bai Ning Bing, as he shivered, his expression looked like he had seen a ghost.
The sheer number of beasts around Bai Ning Bing had surpassed his wildest imagination.
"How many rounds has it been? Even a rank five Gu Master cannot reach such a number!!" Yun Luo Tian screamed as loudly as he could to vent the horror in his heart.
"You must control some loophole, you cheated. You actually cheated, you shameless scoundrel!!"
Yun Luo Tian's composure was completely gone, he no longer had the attitude of an Yun clan young clan leader.
Bai Ning Bing sighed lightly, Yun Luo Tian was right, he hit the nail on the head.
It is true, she cheated. And it was the blessed land's spirit who helped her.
Under the land spirit's guidance, she had an easy time going through the King Quan Inheritance, like she was on a vacation, it was a complete walk in the park. Compared to the difficulties she faced back when she explored the inheritance alone, this was a clear contrast.
" The incredulous feeling of cheating cannot be described with words ! If doing this means I am despicable, I would rather become even more despicable than this, hehehe."
Bai Ning Bing exclaimed as she waved her hands.
Woof, woof, woof…
Countless dogs received her commands and moved like flood water.
In Yun Luo Tian's vision, he could see a sea of dogs charging towards him like a tsunami.
He gritted his teeth: "Bai Ning Bing, do not be smug. Once I get out, I will expose you in front of everyone! You know such a huge secret, everyone will be interested, especially those rank five Gu Masters! Hahaha, you are finished!"
Saying so, he took out a token and used it.
But nothing happened.
"Eh?" Yun Luo Tian was shocked, activating it again.
"What happened? Why is it not working? I used it the last time and I was transported out immediately." His gaze flashed as a bad feeling emerged in his heart, causing his expression to turn uncertain.
He took out another unused token, he was the Yun clan young clan leader, he had two tokens to protect him.
But this time, there was no effect either. The token stopped working.
Yun Luo Tian stared with his eyes wide opened, staring at his token, sweat emerging on his forehead.
Bai Ning Bing's dog army had surrounded him, and started slaughtering his dog group.
"How can this happen? Send me out now!" Yun Luo Tian's breathing became quicker, as he used the token frantically, to no avail.
"Ah!" He screamed, his beautiful face distorted with fear. His hair was messy and his eyes were bright red, like an angered bull.
"It is you, you did this didn't you? It must be you! You made the token ineffective, hehe, what great methods you have. But be clear of this, I am the great Yun clan young clan leader. If you kill me, you would offend Yun clan. The entire Yun clan won't let you off."
Yun Luo Tian recovered from his fear and screamed at Bai Ning Bing.
His arrogance as the Yun clan young clan leader was sustaining him, not letting him kneel down and beg for his life, instead he was getting more haughty.
But such an attitude was completely useless against Bai Ning Bing.
"I'm not even afraid of Tie clan, would I fear your tiny Yun clan?" Bai Ning Bing snickered.
On the battlefield, Yun Luo Tian was alone, his dog groups were no match for Bai Ning Bing's, massacred till none was left.
Bai Ning Bing willed, and the closest dog barked before pouncing on Yun Luo Tian.
Yun Luo Tian struggled with his life, but his strength could not match the dog.
His throat was bitten by the dog, as blood poured out of it.
As for the other beasts,they stood in a circle and waited.
"I curse you… I curse you have to a terrible death!" Yun Luo Tian cursed before he died, his tone filled with hatred and anger.
Bai Ning Bing shook her head in disdain, walking forward and keeping Yun Luo Tian's Gu worms.
This Yun Luo Tian walked the cloud path, they were all rank four Gu, and were all of high quality. As for the enslavement path Gu worms he obtained from King Quan Inheritance, they greatly benefited Bai Ning Bing's Gu worms.
As for his corpse, it was teleported by the land spirit, sent to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan was stepping on Wang Xiao, forcing out the location of Wu mountain.
Wang Xiao was the owner of Wu mountain, a rank five upper stage Gu Master, a true regional emperor. He was an established expert.
If it was outside, ten Fang Yuan added together would not be his match. But here, Fang Yuan defeated him easily, like dealing with a baby.
Wang Xiao was extremely angry, he was stepped on by Fang Yuan, as his face and the soil made intimate contact.
For a great rank five Gu Master, the lord of Wu mountain, this was a great humiliation!
"You want to know how to enter Wu mountain? Hehe, stop your wishful thinking! Kill me if you want, after you kill me, you will not be able to know that true path to enter the mountain."
Wang Xiao sneered as he struggled intensely, but Fang Yuan could use his strength path Gu worms, Wang Xiao could not compare to him in terms of strength.
After an intense struggle, he was breathing heavily out of exhaustion, while Fang Yuan's leg was still firm as a mountain.
Wu mountain was a slightly famous mountain among the hundred thousand mountains of Southern Border.
This mountain was mysterious and illusionary, hidden in a deep layer of fog. In the fog, there were many small paths, but only one led inside.
Wang Xiao knew this path, and thus entered the mountain and made the mountain's resources his.
Like Qing Mao mountain, a famous mountain like Wu mountain had at least three to four spirit springs. Other than that, there were large numbers of wild beasts and wild Gu. All sorts of resources that could sustain three to four middle-size clans.
But Wu mountain was completely owned by Wang Xiao.
"Wu mountain is a natural danger zone, it is easy to defend and no matter how many righteous Gu Masters there are, they cannot break into it by force. Wang Xiao used this to become a regional emperor, living freely and easily. If I obtain it, I could use it as my base, and I would have no worries for my rank five resources." Fang Yuan thought.
Wu mountain was Wang Xiao's good fortune, Fang Yuan desired it greatly. But Wang Xiao refused to speak, he knew that once he spoke, he would be killed. Not speaking gave him a chance of survival instead.
Pew!
At this moment, with a light sound, Yun Luo Tian's corpse was transported over.
Fang Yuan kicked Wang Xiao aside, walking over to the corpse and used the beast strength placenta Gu to devour the aperture.
"It's him? That Yun clan young leader!" Wang Xiao recognised Yun Luo Tian, and also witnessed Fang Yuan using beast strength placenta Gu, his heart chilled.
Fang Yuan was obviously killing people to refine Gu!
"This Gu can devour apertures, not good, my aperture is way more valuable than Yun Luo Tian's." This beast strength placenta Gu had already become smooth and clear, like a beautiful porcelain. But in Wang Xiao's eyes, it was extremely dangerous and mysterious, giving off a demonic feeling.
Seeing Fang Yuan walk over, Wang Xiao shouted: "Wait, wait. We can negotiate, I can promise you to give you the actual path into the mountain, but you must ensure my safety, I have one poison vow Gu on me…"
Fang Yuan's killing intent surged, although he had the eating one's words Gu and can break the vow, he had little time now, how could he waste time to create the eating one's words Gu?
As he killed these Gu Masters, his immortal essence was depleting, and the blessed land was getting closer to destruction.
The longer they dragged, the weaker the land spirit, an the less immortal essence he had to refine the second aperture Gu.
At the same time, the blessed land's flow of time was three times the outside world. The Spring Autumn Cicada was posing a huge threat.
Fang Yuan killed so many people, he already used nearly two portions of the immortal essence, about half of his planned amount. The blessed land's destruction was accelerated, and some people should be able to feel it already.
Fang Yuan's greatest advantage was having the initiative. If he continued to drag this, it would get more disadvantageous for him.
Compared to the second aperture Gu, Wu mountain's benefits were huge but not irreplaceable.
"Speak, which is the path into Wu mountain?" Fang Yuan stepped, and broke Wang Xiao's right wrist, shouting sharply.
"Let me go and I'll tell you!" Wang Xiao screamed in pain.
"Hmph, stubborn!" Fang Yuan stepped again, the sound of bone breaking was heard as Wang Xiao's left kneecap was crushed to bits.
Wang Xiao shuddered under the pain, as sweat flowed down his back, but he gritted his teeth and stared deeply at Fang Yuan, refusing to speak.
Fang Yuan was silent, knowing that coercion would not work.
Wang Xiao was an expert of a generation!
He had a cruel and ruthless nature, never going easy on his enemies, but also strict on himself.
He designed an "ice water bed" for himself. Such a bed, as long as one sleeps for six hours, the entire bed would sink into the ice water below.
Wang Xiao slept on such a bed, only resting for six hours a day. He encouraged himself, and worked hard, giving it all his effort. Other than eating, cleaning, and resting, all his other time was spent on cultivation.
His aptitude was not extremely good, uncomparable with Tie Mu Bai and Bai Ning Bing. But because of his hard work, he climb up step by step, becoming famous in southern border, a great demonic expert that no one dared to look down on.
In Fang Yuan's memories, after Wang Xiao came to Yi Tian mountain, he killed many righteous experts, and his ruthlessness spread, one time, he even got close to vying for the position of the demonic head.
Fang Yuan felt pressure in his heart offending such a person.
Killing Wang Xiao was weakening the demonic faction in the Yi Tian mountain battle. But Wang Xiao could not be kept alive, he had to be killed.
"I have to refine Gu not long after, I do not want to be attacked by you." Fang Yuan sighed, striking the final move and killing Wang Xiao.
Later, he took the Gu and devoured the aperture, this process was extremely smooth.
After devouring Yun Luo Tian and Wang Xiao's aperture, the beast strength placenta Gu's aptitude had risen to eighty-three percent. As for the immortal essence expenditure, it had reach slightly more than two portions, he had reached a critical stage.
"Not good, the immortal essence expenditure is higher than my estimation. This blessed land is too old, originating from the antiquity era, it is a miracle that the blessed land is still standing today."
Fang Yuan's expression was solemn, the actual expenditure had slightly exceeded his initial estimations.

Chapter 383: Profound Concept of the Universe, Demon Venerable Hong Lian
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
"Young man, the primeval essence expenditure had deviated from the plans, you should stop now." The land spirit noticed this error, and suggested.
Fang Yuan's expression turned cold, retorting immediately: "That won't do, eighty-three percent is not part of my plans, my plan is to reach ninety percent!"
"Most things in life do not happen according to one's wishes. How can we get everything we want? Young man, you have been blinded by greed, you are starting to lose your rationality." The land spirit spoke calmly.
Fang Yuan cursed in his heart, without the land spirit's help, he could not use the immortal essence. Land spirit was already thinking of stopping, Fang Yuan had to convince it.
"Ba Gui." Fang Yuan breathed out some turbid air, relaxing his tone: "The primeval essence expenditure exceeding by a bit is no big deal. In my plan, we had some spare essence."
Fang Yuan planned the immortal essence into sixteen portions.
Among that, eight was for Gu refinement, four was to sustain the three kings inheritance and three portions and a bit more for killing Gu Masters. The final bit would be kept as spare in case anything happened.
Fang Yuan had a meticulous nature, he had planned this for so long, how could he not have a back up plan?
But the land spirit was not convinced, although it was created from lingering thoughts, it had intelligence and could think.
"Young man, your calculation is incorrect. Have you ever considered that the Gu refinement process might fail? There is no way you won't have issues, once you fail you will waste immortal essence. Eight portions to refine Gu, that was the minimum requirement, that last bit of immortal essence is to allow you to waste when you make multiple attempts. Now that you want to use up this bit, if you fail the refinement even a little bit more, the second aperture Gu's refinement will not succeed." Land spirit retorted.
Fang Yuan was anxious secretly, he had not passed the test and was not the blessed land's owner, he could not directly command the land spirit.
If land spirit refused to cooperate, there was nothing he could do.
There was still a rank five Gu Master and many rank four experts left in the blessed land now, these will all be obstacles for him when he refines the Immortal Gu later.
Fang Yuan killing these people now was to eliminate his future enemies, to protect himself.
But the immortal essence left in the blessed land was simply too little, Fang Yuan had to carefully think and plan his usage properly. At the same time, he had to face the blessed land's inspections.
"Young man, stop taking risks. If you continue being adamant, I will not cooperate with you, I will even take away your examination chance, and leave the opportunity for others." Land spirit was firm in its tone.
Fang Yuan sighed deeply hearing this.
Land spirits were very rigid, in this situation, it was nearly impossible to convince the land spirit.
"We can keep the others, but that rank five Gu Master has to die. He is one of the four great doctors of southern border, he has a great network and relationship, we have to eliminate him to be safe." Fang Yuan urged.
"For your safety during refinement, you have already planned to use that young girl, together with the beast groups, she can block them for a while. At the same time, I will risk my life to protect you. The most important thing is the success or failure of your Gu refinement." Land spirit denied Fang Yuan's suggestion.
Fang Yuan's expression sank.
The final rank five Gu Master Chou Jiu, known as 'killer ghost doctor', although his battle strength was not outstanding, he had great influence.
In his previous life's memories, he went to Yi Tian mountain and joined the demonic faction. Next, he obtained the third-in-control position. With a wave of his hand, countless Gu Masters gathered.
With his healing, the demonic faction faced less deaths and injuries, their morale surged and that caused great problems for the righteous path.
Only until Shang Yan Fei invited Doctor Su Shou, together with Divine Doctor Sheng Shou, did they manage to suppress Chou Jiu's glamor.
The battle of Yi Tian mountain made everyone see the ability of Chou Jiu. The 'killer ghost doctor' also became publicly recognised as the head of the four great doctors.
After Yi Tian mountain was subdued by the righteous path, Chou Jiu was captured, and Wu clan leader valued his talent and wanted to recruit him. But Chou Jiu refused to submit, scolding Shang Yan Fei and Doctor Su Shou, exposing some of their ancient history, causing the furious and ashamed Shang Yan Fei to kill him on the spot.
Any rank five Gu Master was a genius, they cannot be underestimated.
These Gu Masters could emerge from the commoners, and ascend to the peak of the mortal realm in such a cruel environment, surviving many rounds of elimination, they were all heroes or champions.
Once he thought about how a person like Chou Jiu might attack during the final step of the Gu refinement, Fang Yuan could not rest easy.
"Although my cultivation is rank four upper stage, and my cultivation speed is stunning, on this huge stage, I am still too weak, I cannot contend with these rank five Gu Masters. If I had my rank six cultivation back in my previous life, no matter how many rank fives come, I can kill them all like livestock!" Fang Yuan sighed internally.
"You still want to kill someone? Impossible, I will not allow it! Immortal essence cannot be wasted like this, we have to preserve most of it for the Gu refinement." Land spirit heard Fang Yuan's request and immediately rejected him: "Demonic Gu Masters are all like this, they like to take risks. Sigh, young man, do not be so extreme. In this world, why do you think the righteous path is blooming and suppressing the demonic path? It is because demonic path is too extreme, too greedy, and likes to place themselves in danger. The righteous path pursues stability, slow and steady, unmovable like the mountain."
"Ba Gui, you are wrong. Demonic path members have a tough life, they are forced to take extreme means, if they did not fight for the greatest benefits at every given opportunity, and did not take risks, how could they cultivate, how could they compete with the righteous path? Greed, selfishness, extremity, and risk-taking; these are all laws of survival of the demonic path. As long as the benefits are enough, so what if we have to walk on a tightrope? One wrong step leads to game over, making the impossible possible, that is the excitement of the demonic path! The life of a demonic path member is like wine, intense and alluring." Fang Yuan rebuked loudly.
Land spirit heard such words and sighed endlessly: "Young man, the demonic nature is too entrenched in you, you can't turn back anymore, in the future it will lead you to destruction. If heaven commits a sin, it can be forgiven, but if one commits a sin himself, he deserves to die ."
Fang Yuan laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, Ba Gui, you are too naive. What is a sin? Commiting a sin means one deserves death, that is only the weaklings' naive and helpless expectation, they spread such ideology, hoping people would abide by it so as to protect these weaklings. As for me, I want to be a person who commits a sin, yet is able to roam freely and travel the world, a demonic head who slaughters living beings and enjoys all that I can get. I not only want to slaughter Gu Masters, I also want to succeed in refining the second aperture Gu and become the greatest winner! Ba Gui, feel this, what do you think this is?"
Saying so, Fang Yuan activated the Spring Autumn Cicada, and for the first time, leaked its aura out into the world.
The land spirit was flabbergasted!
"This, this is the aura of a rank six Immortal Gu! It seems… it seems to be the Spring Autumn Cicada… Spring Autumn Cicada is the seventh mysterious Gu in this world! You are a mere mortal, how can you possess such an Immortal Gu?"
To convince the land spirit, Fang Yuan took a gamble and exposed the existence of the Spring Autumn Cicada.
Spring Autumn Cicada was a rank six Gu, and the second aperture Gu was also an Immortal Gu, such benefits were enough for Fang Yuan to take this risk.
"Why can't a mortal own an Immortal Gu? I'll tell you the truth, the Spring Autumn Cicada was refined by me." Fang Yuan said.
"I understand, I get it. You were a Gu Immortal, but you used the Spring Autumn Cicada to rebirth and came back to the past to change history!" Land spirit gasped and sighed.
"Oh? Ba Gui, you seem to know some information regarding the Spring Autumn Cicada, please enlighten me." Fang Yuan quickly inquired.
"Since the immemorial era, there were two types of Gu Masters, space path and time path, forming the basis of heaven and earth. Space path represented up, down, left, and right, while time path represented past, present, and future. Take my blessed land for example, at its peak, there was 6000 km of land, and the flow of time was six times the normal speed." Land spirit said.
How much was 6000 km ? On Earth, that is about the size of Brunei.
As for six times the normal speed of time, it was measured according to the river of time.
At its peak, the blessed land's time was six times of the outside world. Six days inside the blessed land was one day outside.
Of course, by now, the blessed land had severely weakened, not only were the territories mostly eroded, the flow of time was only three times as fast.
In this world, there were many different blessed lands, and the size and flow of time were all different.
Land spirit continued: "Spring Autumn Cicada is one of the Gu worms of the time path. Back then, it had a master who left his name in history, that is Demon Venerable Hong Lian! He resisted the Immortal Court, and broke the chains that bound fate, giving the people of the future hope, and allowed them to grasp their own fate in their hands."
"Demon Venerable Hong Lian?! The most mysterious Demon Venerable in history?" Fang Yuan gasped.
In the Gu world, rank nine was Venerable.
Demon Venerable meant a rank nine demonic path Gu Master. Immortal Venerable is a rank nine righteous Gu Master.
In the eons of history, Demon Venerable and Immortal Venerable were merely a handful of people, they represented a supreme legend. There was only one Venerable in each era, never did two appear at the same time. Thus, Venerables represented true invincibility!
And among these rank nine Venerables, Demon Venerable Hong Lian was the most mysterious, and had the least records in history. Even Fang Yuan merely knew about his existence.
Now, this was the first time he was hearing about Demon Venerable Hong Lian's details.
Land spirit continued: "This world, wide as one can imagine, is split into five regions, north, south, east, west, and central. They are close together, yet completely independent regions. With one river of time, flowing from the past, through the present, towards the future. That is the time and space of this main world."
"If one says that history is a series of still images, then the river of time is a thin thread that connects these numerous images into a line, You used the Spring Autumn Cicada, forcing your way out of the images, and travelled along the line, moving in the reverse direction as you inject your will and memories into one of the images. That would cause this image's events to change, and consequently affect the future images as well.
"So that's it." Fang Yuan benefited greatly from land spirit's words.
He had used the Spring Autumn Cicada twice, and each was a unique experience, causing Fang Yuan's understanding of the Spring Autumn Cicada and the river of time to become clearer.
Land spirit's words gave Fang Yuan the inspiration for a new and unique understanding.
"To think that you are a future Gu Immortal, and even refined the Spring Autumn Cicada. In this blessed land, you are truly the most appropriate candidate to refine this Gu. Nevermind, since you are so confident, I shall trust you once, who do you want to kill?" Land spirit gave in.
Originally, it thought Fang Yuan was only a mortal, he would definitely waste a lot of immortal essence when refining Gu.
But right now, it recognised Fang Yuan's Gu Immortal identity, and reduced the estimated immortal essence that he would potentially waste, thus accepting Fang Yuan's request.
Fang Yuan smiled and promised: "Land spirit, it is right to trust me. I will not disappoint you, the Gu refinement will succeed. In the future, I have to rely on this second aperture Gu to ascend to Gu Immortal realm once again."
Land spirit laughed too, having a sense of acknowledgement towards Fang Yuan: "That's right, you are a Gu Immortal, you know the value of the second aperture Gu much more than mortals. When you become a Gu Immortal, the second aperture will give you unparalleled benefits!"

Chapter 384: Scheming Ghost Doctor, Secret Door of Life and Death
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
"To think that this three kings inheritance is a trap, the true winner is you, little beast king!" Killer ghost doctor Chou Jiu laid on the ground, staring deeply and closely at Fang Yuan as he exclaimed.
After Fang Yuan convinced the land spirit, he rushed to Chou Jiu and beat him up.
Chou Jiu had an ugly appearance, his hair was like dry yellow grass, his brain was protruding and his eyes were of different sizes. His cheekbone was very high, his nose was flat, there was a large clump of hair growing out of his nostrils, and his yellow teeth were projecting outwards.
But his gaze was very complicated, he had a plotting ability that ordinary people could not possess.
"Little beast king, I know about you, you have great talent, from a vagabond, you grew to this extent, I admire you greatly. Compared to you, I am merely several years older. When I was young, I did not have such accomplishments. You are a dragon among men, you will eventually soar to the heavens, and roam the world freely. I have no intentions to be enemies with you, if possible, I would like to use the information regarding the door of life and death to preserve my life."
Fang Yuan had killed four rank five Gu masters earlier, some of them were shocked, some furious, some fearful, but this Chou Jiu was extremely calm.
After understanding his situation, he placed his ego down and praised Fang Yuan.
He laid on the ground, not moving, as if he gave up on resisting.
But at this moment, the land spirit suddenly transmitted: "Quickly kill him, he is activating his token and Gu worms furiously, I am trying to suppress them but this is causing great immortal essence expenditure."
But Fang Yuan was slightly stunned, almost thinking he had hallucinated: "Door of life and death?"
This door of life and death was a big deal, it was recorded in Legends of Ren Zu, a secret forbidden land in ancient times. It was similar to the river of time and ordinary abyss.
After Verdant Great Sun died, Ren Zu went to the door of life and death to attempt to revive him.
Legend says that behind the door of life and death holds the secrets of life and death, if a person can comprehend it completely, they would be able to control life and death itself.
"Chou Jiu knows the location of the door of life and death?!" Fang Yuan's heart was palpitating, as his expression turned cold, warning severely: "Chou Jiu, activate your Gu worms one more time and I will kill you immediately."
Chou Jiu's expression changed, his pupils shrinking as he slowly sat up, looking at Fang Yuan: "You can sense me using Gu worms!"
A thought flashed across his eyes: "You can use Gu worms, while I can't use mine at all. Sigh, it seems there is only one possibility — the land spirit is still alive and you subdued it. So this blessed land has such a secret. What a pity, back when the three kings obtained this place, they did not truly control the blessed land, thus you have obtained it now. But this blessed land is on the brink of destruction, there is no way to save it. The land spirit must be extremely old and weak too right, otherwise the Gu Masters would've been chased out already. Why would you need to eliminate us personally?"
Although Fang Yuan did not control this blessed land, after expressing his identity, the land spirit would listen to some of his instructions in order to assist him with the Gu refinement.
Chou Jiu was over a century old, he was old and scheming, easily guessing the scenario.
"Since you control the blessed land, then I won't bother with this pointless act. As long as you preserve my life, what you will obtain will be out of your imagination." Chou Jiu said, stopping his secret actions.
Fang Yuan laughed without denying: "Talk about the door of life and death. You know the location? The door of life and death is a forbidden ground not inferior to the river of time, there is an extremely wide area inside, reflecting the five regions of the main world. Legend says that there are many unique and natural Gu worms inside, like life Gu, and death Gu."
Chou Jiu nodded: "I know the door's location, not only that, I have even explored it multiple times and captured some of the life Gu and death Gu inside, eventually refining one life one death Gu. I placed this Gu inside the door of life and death, every time a person dies because of me, it will absorb this death energy and convert it into lifeforce. Because of this lifeforce, my healing methods are extremely profound. This is the reason why I became one of the four great doctors of southern border."
Killer ghost doctor revealed his own secret, to increase his trustworthiness.
"Oh? So that's it." This was the first time Fang Yuan heard such a thing, although he had his previous life's memories, he was not all-knowing.
"Then in that case, tell me, and I may spare you a life." Fang Yuan promised.
But Chou Jiu shook his head: "The secret regarding the door of life and death is way too important. I have once vowed before the sea oath Gu, to not reveal the details to outsiders. Once I say it, I will turn into dust, wiped off from this world. But if you join the shadow sect, you will be one of us, and I will be able to tell you."
"Sea oath Gu? Shadow Sect?" Fang Yuan frowned.
Sea oath Gu is a rank six Immortal Gu, it was very famous during ancient times, together with mountain pledge Gu. Mountain pledge and sea oath, they worked like the poison vow Gu, but poison vow Gu was an expenditure Gu while these two Immortal Gu could be repeatedly used.
Fang Yuan had heard of the sea oath Gu and had an understanding of it. But he was unfamiliar with 'Shadow Sect'.
Hearing this name, it sounds like a sect for Gu cultivators. That means, the loner Chou Jiu, had a secret organisation behind him?
Fang Yuan felt a little threatened, the situation was slightly out of his expectations.
It was not hard to kill Chou Jiu now, but Fang Yuan knew nothing about Shadow Sect, this gave him a sense of insecurity.
"That's right, my sect is the Shadow Sect. The great ancestor who created Shadow Sect, was a rank eight Gu Immortal of the Immemorial Era. He was the one who found the door of life and death, and placed it into his blessed land. Later, many Gu Immortals were nurtured in Shadow Sect, the benefits are endless for you if you join Shadow Sect."
Saying so, Chou Jiu said a bunch of benefits, truly expending his verbal talent, spouting an exaggerated tale.
Fang Yuan struggled a little, before calming down: "Hehehe, Chou Jiu, that's a nice plan there. If I join Shadow Sect, you not only will be free from danger, I will even have to call you senior brother. In such a traditional sect, respecting seniority is the most important thing. If I join it, I will definitely have to make an oath and be restricted with all sorts of methods. At the end, I even have to contribute my gains on San Cha mountain, and do missions for the clan in the name of loyalty, am I right?"
"Shadow Sect?" Fang Yuan sneered, shaking his head: "Let's not talk about the possibility of you lying, even if it is real, so what? A sect that was created in the Immemorial Era, it is a miracle that it is still around now. You mentioned there were many Gu Immortals in history, but they are mostly dead already right. Otherwise, Shadow Sect would be a great force in the southern border, why would you have to fight alone, and slog it out single-handedly?"
Chou Jiu's expression turned white, he had to reassess Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan was so young, but he was so calculating and scheming. Facing potential benefits, he could remain so calm and analytic, what sort of young man is this? He is definitely a hundred year old monster!
Fang Yuan laughed heartily, continuing: "I am the type of person who likes to take all the benefits for himself, don't tell me about win-win situations. Even if you made the sea oath, it is not unbreakable. Sea oath Gu and mountain pledge Gu have an obvious weakness. When you made the oath, you had to face the sea or a large mountain. As long as the piece of ocean or the mountain is destroyed, the oath will lose its effect."
Chou Jiu's heart froze.
Fang Yuan was knowledgeable and knew many things, he was not like a newbie at all.
These kind of people were the hardest to fool.
Chou Jiu calmed his spirits: "It is useless. The sea that I made the oath to is inside the Shadow Sect blessed land, if you want to destroy that sea, you will need to know the location of the blessed land. But for me to say that location, you have to destroy the sea first. It is a dead loop."
Fang Yuan sneered, killing intent surging: "Since there is nothing that can be done, forget it. You can die now."
Chou Jiu sighed greatly: "If you want to kill me, go ahead."
He did not move, but in his heart, he felt certain.
The door of life and death was a legendary location, who did not care about their life and death? Little beast king definitely cannot endure such a temptation, his actions now were only to scare him.
But Fang Yuan shot out the bone spike resolutely.
This bone spike flew towards Chou Jiu's heart.
At once, an intense sense of danger assaulted Chou Jiu.
"What! He actually wants to kill me?!" Chou Jiu was shocked, quickly evading.
Pew!
A crisp sound and the bone spike pierced his shoulder, inches away from his heart, only after it stabbed through his back did it stop.
"You, you!" Chou JIu pointed at Fang Yuan, his trembling voice contained fear, shock, and confusion: "Little beast king, you madman! You really wanted to kill me, if I did not dodge, I would've died! That is the door of life and death, the door of life and death! Back then, even Ren Zu had to spend all his effort to find it. This is an unparalleled holy land, the controller of life and death, as long as you can obtain it and comprehend it, you will attain immortality!"
Fang Yuan looked at him coldly, speaking plainly: "Didn't you say you can't tell me the secret? Then what use do I have of you?"
"You can join the Shadow Sect!" Chou Jiu's body was sweating, either out of pain or fear.
Fang Yuan snorted coldly, raising his hand and aiming again.
Chou Jiu quickly waved his hand, shouting: "Wait, wait, don't be rash. There are other methods than this, we can use the poison vow Gu, if we make a poison vow, we can trust each other."
"I do not need your trust." Fang Yuan replied coldly.
"Then use the slavery Gu, I will acknowledge you as my master, don't kill me."
"You are a rank five Gu Master, we need to use the rank five slavery Gu. This Gu is extremely rare, way more expensive than its other rank five counterparts, where do you want me to find it? Moreover, even if we use these Gu, can you tell me the location of Shadow Sect's blessed land?" Fang Yuan retorted.
Chou Jiu's expression froze.
Fang Yuan observed his expression, and his heart moved, knowing that the words were true.
Fang Yuan's killing intent was not real, he was merely trying to test Chou Jiu.
Chou Jiu suggested the poison vow Gu, slavery Gu, he was already frantic, but still did not dare to mention the location of the blessed land. It seems he really did make the sea oath.
Chou Jiu wanted to lie and make up a random location.
But as long as he did not die from the oath, it means he lied. If he said the real location, the oath would take his life as well.
Or rather, even if he managed to say it, he would lose all his value and Fang Yuan would not let him off.
In this situation, Chou Jiu was at his wits' end.
Recognising this, he laughed bitterly: "To think that I Chou Jiu would die here today."
"Being able to die in my hands is your honor." Fang Yuan replied plainly.
Chou Jiu looked at Fang Yuan seriously, nodding in agreement: "That's true, with your talent and mentality, as long as your luck is not too bad, you will definitely be a walking disaster of the demonic path. You want to kill me, there is no point in begging anymore. It is fine if I die in your hands, at least better than getting killed by those scumbags outside. Actually, I have a plan to allow you to learn about the door of life and death."
Saying so, a cunning light flashed across Chou Jiu's eyes.

Chapter 385: Kindness, Grudge, Affection, Hatred
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
"Oh? What method?" Fang Yuan's eyebrows raised.
"Regarding this matter, I have to start from a long time ago…" Chou Jiu heaved a deep sigh as he recalled; hatred, grief, deep love and other complicated expressions appeared on his face.
"I have no time to listen to your story." Fang Yuan ruthlessly interrupted.
Chou Jiu choked: "Then I will make it short."
"My original name was Zeng Ah Niu. I was a farmer who made a living by collecting herbs, one time I unluckily fell from a cliff but I profited from it and entered Shadow Sect's blessed land. By passing the land spirit's test, I was able to become a disciple of Shadow Sect. The sect only had two disciples, me and a senior sister."
"Senior sister's surname is Chen and her first name is Jiu, she was as beautiful as an immortal fairy. She was raised by the land spirit since young and had never left the blessed land, thus her nature was truly innocent. Since birth, I was extremely ugly and had always suffered bullying and ridicule. But senior sister was always amiable and warm to me. I slowly started having feelings for her after being in contact with her all the time. We took an oath in front of the blessed land's sea, to protect and stand by each other. We cultivated together and entered deep into the door of life and death, capturing life Gu and death Gu…."
"That was the happiest time of my life and I had thought it could continue forever. After an earth calamity, the land spirit suffered injuries and went into hibernation; a hole appeared in the blessed land and connected it to the outside world, allowing a scoundrel to sneak in."
"This scoundrel was heavily injured at that time, and if I had known what would happen later because of him, I would have definitely killed him on the spot! But I didn't do that and instead saved him. He claimed his surname was Shang, and had blood red hair. He had exceptional eloquence, and using his flowery words, he slowly deceived senior sister during his recuperation. His appearance was indeed slightly better than mine and used his pretty boy face to win senior sister's favor. Senior sister was innocent and ignorant, the more she talked with him, the happier she became; in the end, she took the initiative to take care of him in every possible way."
"We argued many times about this, falling out with each other a lot. After that thief recovered, I wanted to expel him and continue living a fairytale life with senior sister. But who could have thought her heart had already changed and actually broke the oath we took at that time, injuring me and defecting with that scoundrel!"
"I was really regretful! I regretted my compassion which led to a disaster, and I hated senior sister Chen Jiu for falling in love with somebody else, and even more hatred towards that despicable scoundrel for robbing what I cherished. After I recovered from my injuries, I left the blessed land and roamed around Southern Border, searching for this adulterous couple. But what I didn't know was, this scoundrel had really high status and was the leader of Shang clan!"
Chou Jiu paused and looked at Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan was expressionless, he knew many behind-the-scene details due to his previous life memories and already knew who Chou Jiu was talking about in the middle of his conversation.
Chou Jiu could only give a forced smile at Fang Yuan's indifference: "It seems you have already guessed their identities. That's right, that thief is the current Shang clan leader Shang Yan Fei and my senior sister Chen Jiu is Doctor Su Shou. Shang clan is a super clan while I am a lone force, I roamed around Southern Border all these years and put in a lot of effort to deal with this adulterous couple! Unfortunately… unfortunately I am going to die here today and have no way of achieving my wish."
"Hehehe." Fang Yuan silently listened to end and suddenly laughed.
He looked at Chou Jiu who was sitting on the ground, his eyes shining brightly: "Killer ghost doctor, you made quite a good plan. According to your words, Shadow Sect has only you and Chen Jiu, if you die, I will have to obtain the information about life and death door from Shang Yan Fei and Doctor Su Shou. But why would they tell me about the matters regarding the blessed land of Shadow Sect so easily? At that time, we will have to fight, and no matter who wins, both will be favorable to you."
"Hahaha… little beast king, you are very blunt and straightforward. People who only plot and scheme will always act under the radar, but your thinking is meticulous and your way of doing things is domineering, you are truly a formidable person who has yet to shake the world. You are right, that is my plan. It is an open scheme and you have already seen through it, so are you still going to make inquiries about the Shadow Sect's blessed land from them?" Killer ghost doctor laughed heartily.
Fang Yuan looked at this rank five Gu Master for a while before sighing: "Of course."
Life and death door was an immemorial forbidden ground like the river of time.
There were many unique Gu inhabiting in that place.
Spring Autumn Cicada existed in the river of time; life and death door naturally also had similar Immortal Gu.
It was impossible for Fang Yuan to not be moved by such an enormous benefits. Thus, he clearly knew Chou Jiu's scheme, but was still going to go head-first into it.
Qiu laughed loudly with tears appearing in his eyes: "Little beast king, although you are a talent of the younger generation, I really admire you. I really look forward to the future where you collide with that adulterous couple. It is a pity I won't be able to see it."
"Our Shadow Sect has different views on life and death. We encountered each other among the countless sea of people because of life and yet my death will be because of you, this is a truly extraordinary fate. Maybe, you really are fated to find Shadow Sect's blessed land and the door of life and death. I might as well give this mysterious fate to you and hope you can grasp it."
Chou Jiu became tranquil and his gaze were deep as if he had seen through life and death: "It is no matter if I die now, after all in this world, who can live forever? One can gain a long life but immortality is a hopeless prospect. Even those Immortal Venerable and Demon Venerable will only turn into ashes in the end. Little beast king, I will end my own life, you don't need to do it."
Saying so, he committed suicide by biting off his tongue!
Blood sprayed out as his life went away, the ghost doctor, the head of the four great doctors in the future died like this.
"I did not expect to gain such important information by killing this ghost doctor. Shadow Sect's blessed land, life and death door… If I am able to rule them, they will definitely be a foundation to my hegemony. It seems I will have to change my plan again."
Every single Gu Master who cultivated to rank five needed to go through the survival of the fittest and many competitions before they were able to distinguish themselves; none of them were a simple character.
They all possessed their own individual opportunities, advantages, trump cards and secrets.
Right now, all the rank five Gu Masters in the blessed land were annihilated by Fang Yuan.
Tie Mu Bai, Wu Gui, Ku Mo, Wu Lan Shan and Chou Jiu had their own distinct individuality, deep foundation and powerful strength. If the current Fang Yuan was to fight them alone, any one of them could easily suppress him; he was absolutely not their match.
"So Doctor Su Shou's real name is Chen Jiu while the killer ghost doctor named himself Chou Jiu, it seems the hatred was born from love. No wonder in my previous life, during the battle of Yi Tian mountain, he took the initiative to go there and threw himself into that whirlpool, challenging Shang Yan Fei and confronting Doctor Su Shou. And after he was taken as a prisoner, he exposed the matter back then and was killed by Shang Yan Fei."
As for the kindness, grudge, affection and hatred entangling these three, Fang Yuan did not want to judge.
Sympathize with Chou Jiu? But Doctor Su Shou's choice was also completely understandable. Favor the rich and disdain the poor, detest ugliness and love beauty, these were common in the world.
Shang Yan Fei was a famous handsome man in Southern Border; comparing him to Chou Jiu, one was day and another was night.
The main reason Doctor Su Shou felt deeply attached to Chou Jiu was because she was pure and Chou Jiu was the first male she saw. And later when she met Shang Yan Fei, her eyes were opened and had a comparison.
Moreover, Chen Jiu was someone who innately pursued beauty.
When a patient came to visit her, she would first look at their appearance. If they were ugly, she would not treat them. If they were average, it would depend on her mood at that time and the patient's examination fees. If they were handsome and beautiful, she would treat them on the spot and not even charge fees.
Someone reproached her for this and she argued righteously: "You ugly beings, the fact that you are alive is simply staining the beauty of life, you should all just die and that will solve all troubles. As for beautiful things, of course we need to cherish and protect them by all means."
These words had caused an uproar in Shang clan city at that time. In the end, Shang Yan Fei personally appeared and suppressed this event.
Doctor Su Shou's position in Shang clan city was unique.
Back when Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing saw Doctor Su Shou together at Shang clan city, the difference in her attitude was very clear. She was indifferent to Fang Yuan whereas she was very gentle and amiable to Bai Ning Bing.
"But speaking of it, the four great doctors all have their own peculiarity. Leaving aside killer ghost doctor and Doctor Su Shou, Travelling Doctor Jiu Zhi likes to disguise himself as an old beggar and wander around aimlessly. Divine Doctor Sheng Shou is a male who likes other males."
Fang Yuan thought casually while taking out all the Gu of killer ghost doctor.
Chou Jiu had many Gu worms.
Most of them were healing Gu and besides that were movement Gu.
He did not have rank five healing Gu, but instead had a rank five movement Gu called warp Gu.
Warp Gu's shape was abstract and looked like a fried twisted dough. Its dark golden body was twisted around seven to eight times, its head was twisted around its body, its eyes and wings were misaligned; as if its creator had created it at a whim.
However, this appearance instead matched with its original owner's appearance.
Fang Yuan slightly sized it up before storing it. Then he used beast strength placenta Gu to swallow Chou Jiu's aperture.
Looking at Chou Jiu's corpse, he chuckled: "Chou Jiu… Chou Jiu, you are really cunning. If I did not have my previous life's memories, I would have truly been deceived by you."
Although Chou Jiu was dead, he was hiding a chance of resurrection.
In Fang Yuan's previous life, Chou Jiu's throat had been cut and assassinated during the middle stage of the battle in Yi Tian mountain. But not long later, he came back to life, causing both righteous and demonic path to be extremely startled.
It turns out, he had used remnant life Gu.
Remnant life Gu was a rank five expendable Gu, and as long as a Gu Master's body is intact after death, they can slowly recover after some time and resurrect.
However, since Chou Jiu was at the blessed land, the remnant life Gu's law fragment in his body was suppressed by the heavenly power and could not activate for the time being. But as long as the blessed land slowly crumbles, its suppression power would weaken and the remnant life Gu's power could activate again and resurrect him.
Chou Jiu had repeatedly praised and flattered Fang Yuan and put on a show that he was carefreely facing death; it was all to give a good impression to Fang Yuan so that after his death, his corpse would not be ripped apart by Fang Yuan.
In truth, Fang Yuan also did not have a habit of mutilating corpses.
"But today, I will make an exception for you." Fang Yuan ruthlessly attacked and soon turned Chou Jiu's corpse into minced meat.
He hesitated for a while and was still not satisfied, so he burnt the pool of blood and flesh into ashes.
With a wave of his palm, the ashes fluttered and drifted everywhere.
"Chou Jiu, if you can still resurrect from this, I will admit you have skills! Hahahaha…"

Chapter 386: He also died
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
"This is the forty-eighth round." Wu Shen Tong counted in his heart.
He came from Wu clan, the number one super clan in southern border, they had deep foundations, and were the supreme overlord of the righteous path. And he was the heavily nurtured enslavement path Gu Master in Wu clan, his attainments in enslavement was nothing to be scoffed at.
Wu Shen Tong's name might sound domineering, but in truth, he was thin as a stick, his skin was pale-yellow, and he looked like a sickly scholar.
In truth, he once had a broad shoulder and thin waist, and had a perfect body. But in one battle, he was afflicted with Long Qing Tian's jade sky Gu poison.
He went to Divine Doctor Sheng Shou for treatment.
Divine Doctor Sheng Shou touched his chest, his eyes shining as he sighed: "You came too late. The Gu poison has seeped into your bone marrow. I can preserve your life and cultivation, but because this poison is deeply rooted, it cannot be removed. From now you, you have to come here once in a while for treatment, I will help you detox at regular intervals."
Precisely because of jade sky Gu's poison, Wu Shen Tong became thinner and thinner each day, eventually ending up like this.
"I wonder which Gu Master is my next opponent?" Wu Shen Tong walked in the fog, his gaze solemn.
Just earlier, in the three options, he chose the front path.
In King Quan inheritance, towards the later stages, more options appeared. Most Gu Masters would choose to fight dog groups for safety, and in truth, they only chose other Gu Masters out of desperation.
No matter how big the dog group is, they were still beasts. With a Gu Master's guidance, even if the dog group is weak, they possessed great threat.
Wu Shen Tong however, took the opposite route, whenever he was given a chance to battle another Gu Master, he would not choose any other path.
"In terms of enslavement path mastery, I am top-tier in southern border. In this San Cha mountain, I am almost the best. Only two people can threaten me, one is Wu Gui because he is a rank five Gu Master that had once walked the enslavement path. But sadly, enslavement path used too much resources and he had to change paths midway. The other is Zhang San San, he is a true enslavement Gu Master, but his cultivation is inferior to me."
In the enslavement path, Wu Shen Tong had great advantage. In terms of seniority, Zhang San San was his junior. In this King Quan Inheritance, even if he had to fight Wu Gui head on, he had no fear.
With such great strength, he obviously had to target his enemies and eliminate as many competitors as possible.
Eventually, he will be left alone to devour this King Quan Inheritance.
This was Wu Shen Tong's brilliance.
"If I had to count, my next opponent should be the twenty-third. Hehe, it is your bad luck to have encouraged me."
Wu Shen Tong snorted internally as he stopped his steps.
Beside him, his group dog guarded him closely.
He looked at the other end of the fog, from the fog, a group of green-purple dogs with rotting skin appeared.
"Oh, corpse dogs." Wu Shen Tong laughed lightly.
He knew that these dogs were extremely useful early on in the inheritance. That is because these dogs can consume corpses to recover their injuries.
But towards the later parts, these corpse dogs would get weaker and weaker. That is because, these dogs were not as fast as the lightning symbol dogs, had lower defense than the steel armor dogs, and were not as united as the chrysanthemum akita dogs.
"Only those half-assed enslavement path Gu Masters would love these useless corpse dogs. Different paths are worlds' apart, how would those who aren't enslavement path Gu Masters know the true meaning of enslavement path without decades of experience?"
Wu Shen Tong thought about those Gu Masters and laughed in disdain.
But the next moment,he frowned lightly.
From the fog before him, corpse dogs continued to appear.
"This number is slightly huge, it seems that to win, I will have to pay a small price." Wu Shen Tong thought.
But soon, at the same time as the corpse dogs, different kinds of dogs started appearing in his vision.
"Chrysanthemum akita dogs! The number is slightly big, hmm… it seems this person has some attainments in the enslavement path." Wu Shen Tong nodded lightly.
"A combination of chrysanthemum akita dogs and corpse dogs, although the number is slightly big, their formation is extremely brittle. I just have to use a few dog kings to charge forward later, and they would disperse easily, as long as I act forcefully, I would be able to defeat them and attain victory."
"Eh, the other party actually has hedgedogs?"
From the fog, Wu Shen Tong saw hedgedogs appearing.
These dogs, their entire bodies were filled with spikes, attacking them would injure oneself.
If the steel armor dogs with huge defense were called tough, then these hedgedogs were tough with spikes. To eliminate them, one has to be prepared to get their throats punctured.
"So many hedgedogs! It seems this person is lucky, being able to gather such a huge group. Why didn't I have such luck?"
Wu Shen Tong sighed, immediately changing his battle strategy.
"The opponent had hedgedogs, I will use the steel armor dogs as the vanguard, and flank with the lightning symbol dogs. Once they engage in battle, the steel armor dogs will charge in and encircle with the lightning symbol dogs, attaining victory easily!"
But after the hedgedogs appeared, large numbers of lightning symbol dogs appeared from the fog.
Wu Shen Tong's expression turned grim.
The appearance of the dog group meant his earlier strategy no longer worked. That is because the opponent possessed a dog with high speed like lightning symbol dog, they could reverse flank him.
"To think they also have the lightning symbol dogs, and so many!" More and more lightning symbol dogs appeared in his vision, as Wu Shen Tong's expression turned ugly.
He thought: The other party has so many dogs, this cannot be explained with luck. Evidently, the other part is also an experienced enslavement path Gu Master, already able to threaten him.
"Who is it? Is it Wu Gui or Zhang San San? Regardless, this will be a tough fight. I can only improvise my battle tactic, and change accordingly, thankfully, I have a token!"
Thinking so, Wu Shen Tong's heart settled.
He took a look at his dog troop, there, a group of dogs laid on the ground, around a hundred and twenty.
The dogs were large in size, twice the size of ordinary dogs, they had sharp claws and their backs were wide and thick, while their nose and mouth resembled a lion's.
This was the heavy tai dog.
Heavy tai dog had defense equivalent to the steel armor dogs. In terms of unity, they matched the chrysanthemum akita dogs.
"In this King Quan Inheritance, out of the hundred types of dogs, only a few can be part of the main troop. Heavy tai dog is one of them. Lightning symbol dog, chrysanthemum akita dog, and steel armor dog, these dogs are too extreme, their weaknesses are too apparently, they cannot be relied on. Only a dog like heavy tai dog can be relied on. The larger the numbers, the stronger their battle strength.
Wu Shen Tong looked at his heavy tai dogs, feeling satisfied.
These were saved up by him after much difficulty. In usual battles, he did not use them, saving them until now.
"It seems this will be a hard battle, I have to use the heavy tai dogs. I believe that when I strike, the opponent should be very surprised. Hahaha…"
Thinking of this, Wu Shen Tong's lips curled into a smile.
But the next moment, his smile froze on his face.
From the other end of the fog, heavy tai dogs appeared too.
"The other party also have heavy tai dogs? Indeed, they are an expert in enslavement path, they naturally understand the excellence of the heavy tai dogs, thus they kept a few."
More and more heavy thai dogs appeared from the fog, as Wu Shen Tong started squinting, his brows frowning into a wrinkle.
"So many, why do they have so many heavy tai dogs?"
He had always regarded the heavy tai dogs as his trump card, seeing his opponent have them placed much mental pressure on Wu Shen Tong.
Suddenly, Wu Shen Tong's pupils shrunk as he stared at the fog.
He saw a domineering dog king.
"Heavy tai dog king! They actually have a heavy tai dog king!" Wu Shen Tong saw this and his heart sank.
With the dog king, the dog group's battle strength will surge several times. More importantly, Wu Shen Tong does not have a heavy tai dog king to fight back, his trump card would be suppressed by his opponent's dog king and have less fighting strength than normal.
In just a short moment, his trump card was no more.
"Tough battle, this will be an unprecedentedly tough battle! Who is it? Wu Gui or Zhang San San? It has to be one of them! High chance it is Wu Gui!"
Wu Shen Tong had lost his confidence towards this battle.
"The opponent's troops are larger than mine, I am likely to lose this. Even if I win this, it will be a tough victory and I would face great losses, unable to continue anymore."
Wu Shen Tong felt regret already.
But very quickly, he felt more than just simply regret.
His eye socket expanded more and more, as his mouth opened subconsciously.
His eyeballs were bulging out of his sockets, like his head was hit on the back. His expression turned from suspicious to shock, from shock to fear.
From the fog, not only did a large number of heavy tai dogs appear, even green hua dogs, smoke song dogs, light heng dogs and star heng dogs appeared!
Green hua dogs, a body covered in green scales, having an extraordinary disposition.
Smoke song dogs, oozing smoke from its nose and mouth, extremely rebellious.
Light heng dogs, a body of white fur, bright and gentle.
Star heng dogs, long and slim, stood out from the crowd.
How is this possible!" Wu Shen Tong screamed: "Green hua, smoke song, light heng and star heng all have differing specialties, they are on the same level, known as the five great mountain 1 dogs collectively, able to form a grand formation! How did they get so many dogs?"
What was hardest for Wu Shen Tong to believe was that the other party not only had large numbers of five great mountain dogs, they also had their respective dog kings!
"Who in the world is he? How can he have so many dog kings? Unbelievable! Is this an illusion?" In the fog, dogs were still coming out one after another, causing a great mental impact on Wu Shen Tong.
Compared to him, the other party was like a giant fighting a baby.
They could be compared at all!
Wu Shen Tong had no battle intent left. He had no way of winning this battle.
The other party just has to wave their hand and the dog groups would overwhelm him, regardless of his manipulation skills, there was no difference.
The different in military force could not be made up for with technical skills.
"Who is it? Did a rank five enslavement path Gu Master come to San Cha mountain? Impossible! Even if it is a rank five enslavement path Gu Master, how can they have such a large army? I have to see who the other party is!"
Wu Shen Tong grabbed his token as he stared at the fog.
From the fog, a persona appeared.
"Finally revealing your true identity?" Wu Shen Tong's sweat was dripping down his forehead as he gulped.
Swoosh!
At this moment, there was a light sound and Fang Yuan appeared behind him.
"Who?" Wu Shen Tong felt something and before he turned back.
Fang Yuan placed his palm on his head, squeezing.
Splat!
His head was popped like a balloon.
He was dead too.
From the fog, Bai Ning Bing walked out casually.
"How many rounds left?" She looked at Fang Yuan, yawning, like she had not gotten out of bed.

Chapter 387: Rank Five Slavery Gu
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
Others had to rack their brains and make countless plans to advance through the rounds; people like Wu Shen Tong and Wu Gui also had to meticulously plan and choose their options. But with the help of the land spirit, Bai Ning Bing just had to move forward.
The pitiful Wu Shen Tong, a grand rank four peak stage Gu Master, could not even see Bai Ning Bing's appearance at the end.
As for Fang Yuan's appearance, Bai Ning Bing was not in the least bit surprised because the land spirit had reminded her.
In fact, this was the cooperation of the two.
Fang Yuan needed Wu Shen Tong's aperture while Bai Ning Bing needed Wu Shen Tong's enslavement path Gu worms and these dog groups he had accumulated.
With Wu Shen Tong's death, his large dog beasts group was naturally incorporated into Bai Ning Bing's troops, increasing her enormous dog army by ten percent.
Looking at the vast dog group, Fang Yuan joyfully nodded: "Your dog beasts army has already become an initial formation. In this King Quan Inheritance, with this group, you can already snowball to the final round without any problems. Remember, at the last few rounds, there are a large group of lion mastiffs. These lion mastiffs are all mutated beasts and have much more battle prowess than the five great mountain dogs. They were the trump cards of King Quan. Besides them, there are two dog emperors, ancient mutated beasts which are more powerful than common mutated beasts. Back in the day, they were the left and right arms of King Quan, each of them can match a rank five Gu Master, you must subdue them!"
Bai Ning Bing nodded and left, continuing to charge through the rounds.
"You are indeed someone who came from the future, using Spring Autumn Cicada to come back to the past. You know about three kings inheritance inside out." The land spirit transmitted its voice and praised, "I need to remind you, the immortal essence portions are almost depleted and are only enough for you to kill two more people. Who do you plan on killing next?"
Fang Yuan nodded and said without hesitation: "Zhang San San."
Beast placenta Gu already had eighty-nine percent aptitude and shone like a gem. Compared to its previous rough muddy shape, the difference was like night and day.
Killing two more rank four Gu Masters was enough to achieve ninety percent aptitude.
Second aperture's aptitude could not be higher than the Gu Master's first aperture. Fang Yuan's first aperture was A grade of ninety percent. Thus, the second aperture Gu's current limit was also A grade ninety percent.
Even if he raised it to ninety nine percent, when it was used, Fang Yuan would only have ninety percent. The remaining nine percent aptitude would be wasted.
Of course, if Fang Yuan could raise his first aperture's aptitude in the future, the second aperture would also have the potential to rise.
Zhang San San was only a rank four upper stage Gu Master, a stage lower than Gu Masters like Yi Huo and Kong Ri Tian.
But in Fang Yuan's view, he was the enemy who possessed the most threat.
It was because he was an enslavement path Gu Master second only to Wu Shen Tong and Wu Gui.
Fang Yuan had a plan: "Bai Ning Bing is not an enslavement path Gu Master in the end and is a complete newbie at commanding the dog groups. Later, she will definitely be confused when commanding so many dog beasts, it will be remarkable if she doesn't make any mistakes. Fortunately, I don't need her to command and control the dog beasts, and only need her to form a huge battle formation to protect the main hall and wait quietly."
Like this, it would greatly fill up for her inadequacy in commanding ability.
However, such battle formation would be extremely rigid and in case she runs into a proficient enslavement path expert, the situation would turn into a mess.
For instance, Wu Shen Tong and Wu Gui would only need to command a small group of dogs to make several attacks and probe out the actual situation. They could then send troops to lure the dog beasts repeatedly and cause disorder in the battle formation, creating a hole in the defense.
Fang Yuan would need to concentrate all his attention at the crucial stage of refining Gu. Land Spirit would also become very weak and all the defense would lie in the dog group, so Fang Yuan naturally wanted to eliminate the enslavement path Gu Masters who possessed the most threat.
After a while, Fang Yuan killed Zhang San San very smoothly.
Even Wu Gui, Wu Shen Tong and the others were killed by Fang Yuan, Zhang San San naturally could not escape his claws.
But his death gave Fang Yuan an unexpected surprise.
From Zhang San San's aperture, Fang Yuan actually obtained a rank five slavery Gu.
Slavery Gu were available from rank one to rank five. Once these Gu were implanted on someone, it could control that Gu Master.
Rank five enslavement Gu could be used to control rank five Gu Master and was thus very precious and extremely rare. Back in the day on Qing Mao mountain, Gu Yue clan's fourth generation clan leader had a great battle with flower wine monk. After he lost the battle, he asked for forgiveness and said he was willing to be enslaved by slavery Gu and be at flower wine monk's disposal. In the end, flower wine monk was deceived by these words and during his moment of carelessness, he was counterattacked by the fourth generation clan leader, dying regretfully on Qing Mao mountain.
"Famous Gu Masters are not to be underestimated. This Zhang San San is an enslavement path Gu Master, it is not strange for him to possess enslavement Gu. The reason he had not used it was to wait for a good opportunity and get a rank five expert. After all, if a rank five slavery Gu were to be used on a rank four Gu Master, it would be a huge loss."
Fang Yuan slightly thought and guessed Zhang San San's thoughts.
He looked at the beast placenta Gu, its aptitude had already neared ninety percent, he only needed to kill one more.
Immortal essence portions were exhausted, so Fang Yuan could only kill one more anyway.
"With this enslavement Gu, I can control one person. Sigh, if I had known this Zhang San San had this Gu, I would have first killed him and used the enslavement Gu to subdue a rank five Gu Master."
Fang Yuan felt some regret. If he had used this Gu to subdue Tie Mu Bai, it would be greatly advantageous to his Gu refinement!
Even if he did not get Tie Mu Bai, Wu Gui, Ku Mo, Wu Lan Shan or Chou Jiu were also extremely good choices.
However now, they were all dead, Fang Yuan at best could only subdue rank four Gu Master, but using rank five enslavement Gu on rank four Gu Masters was equivalent to using an ox-cleaver to kill chicken, a complete waste of its value.
However, despite the rank five enslavement Gu being extremely precious and it would be a waste of its value, Fang Yuan was still going to use it!
He would be facing enormous risks while refining second aperture Gu, and would no doubt be much safer with a second rank four Gu Master beside him.
But there were so many rank four Gu Masters in the blessed land, who should he subdue?
Yi Huo, Kong Ri Tian, Long Qing Tian, Yi Chong along with Li Fei Le, Tao Zi, Feng Tian Yu, Yan Jun, Li Xian, Hu Mei Er, Tie clan's four old-timers, Tie Ruo Nan and others; some were powerful, some were cunning, some were sinister, some were brave, some specialized in long ranged attacks, some had outstanding movement ability, some were superior in healing, some had huge wealth, some had large connections…
Every choice had its consequences.
Fang Yuan's thoughts rumbled like lightning and after thinking for a good while, he decided upon a choice.
"It shall be him. Land spirit, transport me." Fang Yuan decided and said with no hesitation.
After about three minutes, Feng Tian Yu was kneeling in front of Fang Yuan and wholeheartedly said: "This subordinate Feng Tian Yu greets master!"
"Feng Tian Yu, you could refine rank five Gu when you were at rank three. Although the rank five Gu died after half a day, you achieved instant reputation from this. Now, things have changed, your clan is dwindling and facing extinction, you are no longer the young clan leader that had infinite prospects once." Fang Yuan looked at the kneeling Feng Tian Yu and said indifferently.
Feng Tian Yu raised his head: "Having lord as my master, it is this subordinate's honor and fortune."
"It is good that you understand this point. Next, continue to charge through the rounds according to my instructions. King Xin inheritance has an undefeated hundred battles Gu, bring it to me." Fang Yuan instructed.
"Yes, this subordinate will exhaust all his strength to do this task for master!" Feng Tian Yu promptly replied.
Under the control of the enslavement Gu, he had become a loyal and devoted slave of Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan felt reassured at Feng Tian Yu.
He was not only a famous and talented grand master of the refinement path in Southern Border, he was the biggest beneficiary of King Xin's inheritance in his previous life.
In Fang Yuan's memories, it was him who obtained undefeated hundred battles Gu.
Now after rebirth, Fang Yuan was not only going to obtain undefeated hundred battles Gu, but also take the original owner as his subordinate.
"Feng Tian Yu will be guided by the land spirit, it won't be a problem for him to charge through King Xin's inheritance. Like this, I have already acquired two of three kings inheritance."
However, this was also not Fang Yuan's main reason.
The reason why he chose Feng Tian Yu was because of his innate talent at refinement path.
After all, it was the first time Fang Yuan was refining the second aperture Gu. With such a grandmaster of refinement path beside him, it would definitely be a huge help in refining the Gu.
After taking in Feng Tian Yu, Fang Yuan began to consider his last target to kill.
Kill who?
Fang Yuan's first thought was not the strongest Yi Huo and was also not the influential Hu Mei Er and Tao Zi, but rather Tie Ruo Nan.
Like Tie Mu Bai, Fang Yuan also thought highly of Tie Ruo Nan's future prospects. Such a genius that had already been sharpened through trials, if she was allowed to grow, she was bound to be a huge threat. She was more terrifying that even Yi Huo and others.
However, the problem now was, the threat Tie Ruo Nan brought to Fang Yuan was far lower than Gu Masters like Yi Huo, Kong Ri Tian and others.
For the second aperture Gu refinement, if Fang Yuan killed Yi Huo, it would absolutely be more helpful than killing Tie Ruo Nan.
To kill Yi Huo just to be safe, or root out Tie Ruo Nan in consideration of the future?
Fang Yuan's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the land spirit: "Not good, something happened!"
"What?" Fang Yuan was surprised, the land spirit's tone hid a trace of panic.
"A rank four Gu Master has discovered a weak area of the blessed land. That area had been seriously damaged due to earth calamity, the heavenly power at that area is the weakest and the Gu Masters can use one Gu there. Now, he is using a rank five Gu to spread poison all over the place. He will open a passage to the outside world in around eight minutes at this rate, and create a hole in the blessed land!"
Fang Yuan immediately sensed the seriousness of the matter.
In his previous life, he was a rank six Gu Immortal and had once possessed a blessed land, naturally knowing the importance of this.
If there was a hole in the blessed land and it connects with the outside world, the immortal essence expenditure would double. If it was not stopped and repaired in time, the hole would grow bigger and bigger, finally attracting winds of assimilation.
Once the winds of assimilation blew, the blessed land would be destroyed.
"I have already separated and cut off most of the areas with holes in the blessed land. But there are three places that are in crucial areas and can't be cut off. To think this person's luck is so good to actually bump into one of the areas and even be aware of the hole. For the actual situation, take a look." The land spirit heaved a sigh.
A scene appeared in front of Fang Yuan.
In the scene, there was a Gu Master wearing dark blue robe, he was thin and his gaze was gloomy.
It was none other than Long Qing Tian!
Right now, he was activating his sole rank five poison Gu — jade sky.
Everywhere around him, the land and the sky were all suffused with a layer of pale green light.
He who once dyed the sky jade green!
Jade sky Gu was Long Qing Tian's core trump card, a Gu from the immemorial times and was fundamental extinct now. Long Qing Tian had used this Gu to roam Southern Border and gain terrifying reputation for poisoning countless people.
Now, he was poisoning this part of the blessed land!

Chapter 388: Jade Sky Qing Tian, Hu Immortal Jin Huang
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
"To think my luck is so good, I accidentally found this weakened zone." Long Qing Tian's gaze shone as he showed an excited expression.
After all, although the three kings inheritance had a hundred rounds, each one had multiple choices, like the branches of a gigantic tree.
Him arriving at this place was rarer than one out of ten thousand, his luck was maxed out.
"The heavenly power restricting this place is very weak, I can actually use one Gu. Haha, I will use the jade sky Gu and poison this blessed land, that way, I will be able to communicate with the main world and form a connection.
"Once the path is made, I will be able to use Gu worms here at will, I will not have to obey the three kings' rules. After that, I will use this place as my base and expand my influence, and get all the rewards. Hehehe, eh? Who is it!"
Long Qing Tian sensed something and turned around, seeing one person far away.
"Little beast king Fang Zheng?" Long Qing Tian squinted, feeling weird that Fang Yuan was here.
Fang Yuan did not reply, he waved his hand and a bone spike flew out.
Long Qing Tian snorted, activating his defensive Gu.
All around him was the jade-green jade sky Gu's poison, already invading a huge area. Fang Yuan did not have detoxification methods and did not dare to touch the Gu poison, thus he could only engage in long range battle.
At this time, Fang Yuan only had the mutated beast phantoms left, but he did not have the rank four all-out effort Gu, thus he could not summon them as he wished.
But he had killed so many Gu Master experts, and obtained many different Gu worms that could be used for long range attacks.
In a few rounds of battle, Long Qing Tian was defeated by Fang Yuan.
Long Qing Tian could only use one Gu at any given time. Fang Yuan could use any number of Gu with the help of the land spirit. The difference between the two was huge.
Although he won, Fang Yuan's expression was ugly.
Long Qing Tian's corpse was a pale jade-green color, already poisoned by the jade sky Gu poison.
This demonic expert, before his death, smiled at Fang Yuan darkly, before activating the jade sky Gu and killed himself with poison.
Fang Yuan did not kill Long Qing Tian, he knew he had no hopes of surviving and suicided.
"As expected of a demonic head." Fang Yuan breathed out deeply.
Jade sky Gu contained a special poison from the immemorial era, it is already extinct. In the current southern border, only the four great doctors can cleanse it.
If Fang Yuan wanted to devour his aperture, he would have to make contact with the poison. If he got poisoned, in less than two hours, his whole body will fade into a green light.
Very few Gu Masters could survive after getting hit with the jade sky Gu poison.
Wu Shen Tong from Wu clan was extremely lucky.
Even if Fang Yuan risked getting poisoned, he might not get any Gu. With the weak heavenly power here, Long Qing Tian could easily self-detonate his Gu worms one by one.
The benefits were not proportional to the risks, Fang Yuan would not do it.
"But because of this, my last portion of immortal essence has been expended on Long Qing Tian. The beast strength placenta Gu's aptitude can only reach eighty-nine percent."
Fang Yuan felt great pity, after working so hard, he did not reach his desired ninety percent.
"I am after all too weak. The execution of these kind of plans can only be left to chances.
This unexpected situation that Long Qing Tian caused caught him off guard.
Fang Yuan was human, not god, he did not expect this to occur.
Although he had his previous life's memories, and could clearly recall the details, for such minor details, if nobody mentioned it, who would know?
Moreover, after his rebirth, he changed many events. Whether this incident by Long Qing Tian happened in his previous life was unknown.
"Nevermind about the beast strength placenta Gu, what's worse is that the land had already been infected by the jade sky Gu poison, the poison will eventually break out! By then, this land will rot, and turn into green-blue light, creating a huge hole."
Fang Yuan looked at this area, as the green color darkened and spread further out.
Such a loophole would accelerate the blessed land's destruction. That also means that the land spirit will get even weaker.
"If it was a younger blessed land, as long as immortal essence is sufficient, even if the poison cannot be cured, it will be able to cut away this rotten area and fix the hole. But this blessed land is already too old, and lack in immortal essence. Forming a hole here now is like the last straw that breaks the camel's back . Sigh, I have little time left to refine Gu, I must hurry."
At this point, Fang Yuan's merciless slaughter had reached its end. He returned to the hall, and fought against time, refining his Gu!
As days passed, Spring Autumn Cicada's pressure intensified.
Fang Yuan only slept an hour a day, forcing himself to the limits.
As he worked hard like his life was on the line, other than a few unavoidable failures, his process was rapid. Even the land spirit was full of praises.
While Fang Yuan moved closer towards success, his younger brother was extremely high-spirited.
Central Continent, Tian Ti mountain.
At the middle of Hu Immortal blessed land, on Dang Hun mountain, Fang Zheng climbed with great effort, surpassing people after people.
During this period, he became the center of attention, attracting many people's gazes.
"It's him, that Fang Zheng from Immortal Crane Sect! He surpassed another person again!" Someone was jealous and envious.
"Fang Zheng…" Looking at Fang Zheng's ascending silhouette, Fairy Bi Xia had a complicated gaze.
"Something weird is going on with this lad! At this rate, he might be the first to reach the peak!" Wei Wu Shang who has some rivalry with Fang Zheng had to admit that Fang Zheng had a high chance of success.
Fang Zheng used both his hands and legs, climbing laboriously.
He breathed raggedly, with Lord Sky Crane's help, he surpassed the ten sect elites one by one.
Eventually, there were only three people above him.
Xiao Qi Xing, Ying Sheng Ji, Feng Jin Huang!
"This lad is finally at the front, I did not use one's own way Gu in vain." He Feng Yang was watching closely, after seeing this, he sighed in relief.
"Without any accidents, the victor will be one of these four." A Gu Immortal said mentally.
"Immortal Crane Sect's speed is fast, but hehe, it is still uncertain who wins until the last second."
"Indeed, Immortal Crane Sect is only fourth now, and had a huge difference with the first three. Now, it depends on whether he can surpass them in the limited time ahead."
The Gu Immortals conversed.
The entire inheritance competition had reached its final stage!
In the grand hall, a lump of multi-colored light about the size of a water tank floated in the air as it spun.
Fang Yuan controlled it as his eyes were bloodshot, muttering: "Retrieve ninety grams of willow orpiment."
At once, a relief sculpture moved away from the flooring, and turned into solid mass, it was the willow orpiment.
This was a material was from ancient times, rarely seen in today's world, it was retrieved by land spirit, carving out ninety grams and placing it into the rainbow-colored light.
Fang Yuan concentrated, not having any carelessness, as the light turned yellow, he spoke: "Retrieve thirty snowball Gu."
Thirty snowball Gu flew into the yellow light, the light lump that was water tank size was still yellow, but its volume was shrinking.
Eventually, it turned into a tiny inconspicuous soil-yellow rock.
Fang Yuan carefully held this rock, breathing in deeply. To refine this Gu, he spent two days and one night, it had finally ended.
He was extremely tired, lying down and falling asleep immediately, wanting to sleep for an entire week straight.
But after an hour, he was woken up by the land spirit.
This rock could not exist for long, after another fifteen minutes, it would evaporate. By then, Fang Yuan's hard work would have gone down the drain, and he would need to start over.
"Refining Gu is difficult, it has to be a strength path Gu Master that has mastery over the refinement path. Even I, who has my memories and foundation, found it hard, and almost failed many times before, it was truly nerve wrecking. No wonder no one managed to refine the second aperture Gu in my previous life."
Fang Yuan sighed as he patted his cheeks, waking himself up.
After resting for an hour, he felt much better, but his head was still heavy. He had used up too much mental energy, and he was mentally drained.
The second aperture Gu was a rank six Gu, refining an Immortal Gu was not an easy task.
Fang Yuan did not need to look at the mirror to know that he definitely looked pale with deep eye bags, having messy hair and an extremely exhausted expression.
"Land spirit, how much immortal essence left?" He asked.
"Five portions left." Land spirit answered, weakness could be felt from its voice.
Eighteen days had past since Long Qing Tian was killed.
The rate of weakening of the blessed land shocked Fang Yuan secretly.
To sustain the three kings inheritance, immortal essence was expended greatly. Such a phenomenon had caused the outside world to go wild.
At this period, more and more Gu Master came to explore to blessed land, some were established experts.
"Only five portions of immortal essence are left, but the Gu refinement is only two-thirds done. Land spirit, what day and month is it?" Fang Yuan asked with a grim expression.
"According to your calendar, today is the nineteenth of October."
"Nineteenth of October, according to my calculations, the second aperture Gu's refinement will reach the last step in five days. October twenty-fourth… eh? In history, isn't this the day where Feng Jin Huang attains victory and inherits the Hu Immortal blessed land?" Fang Yuan thought of Feng Jin Huang.
This girl had exemplary talent and a strong background, after inheriting Hu Immortal blessed land, she shot up rapidly. In future, she cultivated to Gu Immortal realm using this, and spread her influence throughout the world, shining with a brilliant light.
In Fang Yuan's previous life, he escaped southern border and arrived at central continent, becoming a Gu Immortal and after creating the bloodwing demonic sect, this woman was his mortal enemy. They had at least a few hundred battles, and eventually, Fang Yuan allied with numerous demonic path Gu Immortals and attacked Hu Immortal blessed land together, paying a painful price to kill her.
"My influence now should not have reached central continent yet. Feng Jin Huang obtained Hu Immortal blessed land, the benefit was as great as the heaven! Even second aperture Gu cannot compare to it."
Fang Yuan sighed, his previous life's enemy was about to soar to heaven, yet he was too far away and could not stop it.
Fang Yuan did not know that his brother was still alive, and was engaging in a fierce competition with Feng Jin Huang and the others.
The influence of his rebirth, had already affected central continent's ten sects.

Chapter 389: Only one step left
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
October 20th.
In the main hall, faint red rays of light began to vanish and shone upon the surroundings.
The relief sculptures on the bronze tiles had already disappeared by more than half.
Fang Yuan's face was pale and he looked haggard, his eyes were red as his gaze was fixed at every change in the light lump.
Everything was silent.
October 21st.
The land spirit brought a bad news; a rank five expert had entered the blessed land.
Fang Yuan looked at the image and immediately recognized this person: "So it was Xiao Mang of Xiao clan. He is an expert of the light path and possesses rank five extreme light Gu. In my previous life, he appeared on San Cha mountain, he came after all."
The land spirit gasped: "Extreme light Gu? Then it means this Xiao Mang can summon the light of glory of the immemorial era! This enemy is a huge threat to us!"
The land spirit was extremely worried.
Immemorial times had nine heavens; white heaven, red heaven, orange heaven, yellow heaven, green heaven, azure heaven, blue heaven, purple heaven and black heaven.
The sunlight of the immemorial era was extraordinary, it was the light of glory and could pierce through the nine heavens and spread its warmth and grace to all living beings.
At present, red, orange, yellow, green, azure, blue and purple heavens were no more, only white heaven and black heaven remained. The sunlight no longer contained the glory of the immemorial era, and had weakened to the extreme, being able to pierce through only the white heaven.
Rank five extreme light Gu, once activate, could burst out with the intense light of glory of immemorial era. This light did not have even a little bit of attack power, but it could pass through everything and shine upon on every corner of the world.
That is to say, even this blessed land could not cut off immemorial light.
Fang Yuan scoffed: "Ba Gui, you can be relieved. He obtained the extreme light Gu from robbing a tomb and is an incomplete Gu. He can only use it three times every month. If he crosses this limit, the Gu will self-destruct."
The land spirit let out a breath of relief: "That's good. These days, I have been getting weaker. At the final juncture, you will have to rely on yourself."
"Hehe, I have always liked relying on myself." Fang Yuan laughed and continued to refine Gu without saying any more.
October 22nd.
Puff…
"Damn it, another failure!"
Fang Yuan spat out a large mouthful of blood, his eyes turned black and almost lost his consciousness.
He gritted his teeth and held the ground; he felt the world was spinning, he seemed to see stars and there were continuous buzzing sounds in his ears.
Especially, his chest felt stifled and he felt like vomiting.
After a long while, this nauseous feeling eased slightly.
Fang Yuan let out a breath of turbid air and slowly sat down.
"Failure in Gu refinement will cause a backlash. I have already failed three times in this step, it is not that my skills are bad, I already did it perfectly but this step seems to rely on luck and has a probability of one in a ten chance of success. Sigh! There is no time!"
Fang Yuan was looking pale, he resisted the pain of the backlash with great difficulty and began his fourth attempt.
At this moment, the immortal essence in the bronze cauldron was less than four portions.
October 23rd.
Fang Yuan stopped his actions and looked at the Gu worm in his hand with bright light shining in his eyes.
This Gu was like a beetle with a big and graceful belly, a pointed head and tail. It did not have any legs or antennas. It's shape was vague, seemingly like a vague carving on crude earthenware, with no vitality like a grey stone.
The earth spirit was joyous: "Young man, I really didn't misjudge you! You have succeeded in refining this false Gu, now you only need to advance a step and turn false into real and refine the true second aperture Gu!"
"That's right, only one step remains." Fang Yuan's tone was complicated, relaxed and yet heavy.
Refining this second aperture Gu was like climbing a mountain. There were thousands of steps and who knew how many times he had failed, and he had gotten almost no rest, but finally he reached this stage. His previous effort and investment were not in vain, thus he was relaxed.
However, this final step was the most crucial moment, a step of qualitative change and required the use of Immortal Gu divine travel Gu.
Although Fang Yuan had succeeded in refining Spring Autumn Cicada, he had never used Immortal Gu to refine Immortal Gu; this final step was the step which he did not have any certainty of, so his mood was heavy.
"Three hundred years as spring, five hundred years as autumn. With unlimited divine opportunity, swim and roam in the wilds, adding in third watch, and another third watch, obtaining nine. Nine as extreme, the refinement is complete… This final step required the use of lifespan Gu, divine travel Gu and also two third watch Gu." Fang Yuan pondered.
He understood the earlier steps and could even modify them. But as for this step, he only slightly understood its real intent.
"Land spirit, what changes have occured in the blessed land?" Fang Yuan suddenly asked.
"Two batch of troops have arrived with dozens of rank three Gu Masters, each being led by a rank four Gu Master; their momentum is great." The land spirit showed the scenes to Fang Yuan.
"So it is Che clan and Zuo clan, tsk , the two clan leaders are leading and it seems most of the elders have come." Fang Yuan recognized them with a glance.
The whole San Cha mountain was located in between Zuo clan's Leng Chan mountain and Che clan's Fei Lai mountain.
These two clans were continuously expanding and in the recent years, had been competing at the front line of San Cha mountain with the intent to occupy it.
However, the sudden appearance of the three kings inheritance thoroughly ruined these two clans' plan.
There were a hundred thousand famous mountains in the whole Southern Border along with countless unnamed mountains and hills which were covered with wild and ferocious beasts, their surroundings were dangerous and extremely hard to pass.
Other forces could only send their elites. But these two clans were nearby and had restrained themselves at the beginning, but now when they felt the strange change in the inheritance, they finally send most of their troops.
To Fang Yuan, this was bad news.
At the final juncture, everyone was sure to attack the center of the blessed land, this main hall. These Che clan and Zuo clan's troops were all Fang Yuan's enemies.
"Besides them, when the time comes, there will be Li Xian, Hu Mei Er, Yi Huo, Kong Ri Tian and other experts. At the final juncture, I will have to concentrate fully on refining Gu and leave the defense to land spirit, Bai Ning Bing and Feng Tian Yu. This is however only the external danger."
"At the final step, I will need to use two third watch Gu in a row, causing the time to flow nine times faster on me! This is a great tonic to Spring Autumn Cicada and at that time, its pressure will increase drastically and endanger my aperture. This is the internal danger."
"With both internal and external danger, danger lurks everywhere. But I can only grit my teeth and persevere. I have already reached this stage, only one step remains before I am able to step on the summit. I will bet on this. If I really succeed, I will have a second aperture and as I cultivate to rank six in future, I will not fall too far behind Feng Jin Huang.
In Fang Yuan's plan after rebirth, Qing Mao mountain and Shang Clan were only a platform while the second aperture Gu was the stepping stone.
But it was because of these small accumulations that he could sprint further.
Next, there will be many opportunities which he would have no qualifications to participate without a certain cultivation and strength!
"All living beings have to go through survival of the fittest, I can't compromise on these opportunities and have to make every second count. Only then will I not let down my future knowledge…."
Fang Yuan heaved a long sigh before beginning to rest, preparing for the final day.
October 24th.
Fang Yuan woke up from his deep sleep and slowly opened his eyes.
"It has been so many days since I had such a comfortable sleep, next is the great battle!" He stood up and slowly paced around the main hall.
Under the land spirit's guidance, there were already two people standing outside the main hall.
"Master!" Feng Tian Yu immediately kneeled in front of Fang Yuan and offered a Gu worm.
This Gu was nothing special in its appearance, looking like a round piece of limestone. It was none other than undefeated hundred battles Gu.
"Subordinate was able to accomplish the mission, and after going through the hundredth round and receiving King Xin Inheritance, I was able to take in these hairy men."
At his side stood several hundred hairy men, their bodies were filled with dense hair and were standing there quietly.
"Good." Fang Yuan nodded and indifferently praised, he was not surprised.
These hairy men had the innate nature to follow the people who were better at refining Gu than them. It was not surprising for Feng Tian Yu to charge through the hundredth barrier and have these followers.
Fang Yuan then walked towards Bai Ning Bing.
Bai Ning Bing looked at the great bronze main hall, her gaze flashing with a trace of understanding: "It seems this is the blessed land's center area."
Saying so, she looked at Fang Yuan: "Hmph, you best remember your promise."
Fang Yuan smiled: "You can be at ease."
He looked behind Bai Ning Bing, seeing the near hundred thousand dog beasts that did not seem to have an end; some were occupying an area, some were having fun with each other and some were running around, making a din.
Fang Yuan slightly furrowed his brows, this was the weakness of Bai Ning Bing's commanding ability. If it was Zhang San San, Wu Gui or Wu Shen Tong, any one of them could arrange these dogs in a tight formation and have them stand there without moving, like an army.
However, this was after all something entirely beyond Bai Ning Bing, she had never received any enslavement path training before, and it was already not easy for her to be able to reach this stage.
In fact, Bai Ning Bing was feeling dizzy now, her every movement was slightly lagging and her soul felt heavy, she felt her body was like a marionette.
Controlling so many dog beasts at once was truly demanding a lot out of her.
"Listen to my arrangements now, be in a defensive formation. No matter how the enemies provoke you, do not take the initiative to attack. Remember it at all costs, remember." Fang Yuan warned.
"Okay, since it is your arrangement, whether this succeeds or fails has no relation to me." Bai Ning Bing coldly replied.
"Hehe, no matter success or failure, I will give you the Yang Gu." Fang Yuan assured with a smile.
"Hmph, you better do what you said."
"Two light pillars have disappeared, this means King Xin and King Quan Inheritance have been taken!" Early morning, at the peak of San Cha mountain, there was a commotion among the Gu Masters.
"This time's inheritation opening is extremely strange, it has been maintaining itself till today, causing the blessed land to deteriorate extremely fast." Someone was doubtful.
But compared to this, more people were paying attention towards the inheritance.
"Who are the two lucky guys who inherited the inheritance?"
"I think King Xin Inheritance should be inherited by Lord Tie Mu Bai. He has not come out since he entered."
"King Quan Inheritance might have been inherited by Wu Gui."
"No, it should be our clan's lord Wu Shen Tong."
"Hmph, the way I see it, our demonic path's enslavement master Zhang San San also has a chance of winning."
The crowd argued for a while before someone finally discovered something strange.
"Strange, none of the several rank five Gu Masters that entered the inheritance has come out. What is going on?"
"King Xin and King Quan Inheritance were inherited, but why have the other guys not come out?"
"They are being detained in the blessed land. This blessed land is already nearing its extinction, not long later the passage will open wide and let all of us enter and exit at will." A resonant voice spread.
"Lord Xiao Mang!" Immediately, the righteous path Gu Masters recognized the identity of the speaker.
"This Xiao Mang has not entered the inheritance after he arrived on San Cha mountain, what the heck is he planning?" Demonic Gu Masters felt apprehensive inwardly, Xiao Mang's arrival had suppressed their flames.
Xiao Mang proudly smiled after succeeding in attracting everyone's gaze: "Now I will use extreme light Gu to open the passage for us!"
When he finished speaking, he opened his eyes wide and furiously activated his primeval essence while lifting his fists high.
Extreme light Gu!
Heaven's will Gu!
Empty fist Gu!
Killer move — Immemorial Light Fist!
Three Gu activated at once, causing the whole sky to dim.
Everyone looked with shock as light rays formed into an enormous fist the size of a mountain, it appeared abruptly and disappeared just as suddenly, striking at some unknown place.
Extreme light Gu might have no attacking power, but when combined with the other two Gu, it could form an incomparably intense attack!
Bam!
A formless membrane was pierced through, the blessed land shook and an enormous hole formed into a passage that connected to the outside world.

Chapter 390: Mo Wu Tian
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
On San Cha mountain peak, only one light pillar remained.
But a grey plain appeared in front of everyone like a foggy image. It looked like it was separated by a veil, giving off a dream-like atmosphere.
How could a plain appear on the mountain peak?
This was caused by Xiao Mang; he penetrated the blessed land and created a loophole.
For a moment, everyone was silent; some were dazed, some shocked, and some looked at each other, no one moved.
Xiao Mang snorted inwardly before slightly signalling with his eyes at somewhere in the crowd.
A Gu Master immediately ran out of the crowd: "Lord Xiao Mang's might is unrivalled, even forcibly piercing through the blessed land. Like this, we are no longer confined by the restrictions of three kings inheritance and all of us can enter!"
After he finished shouting this, he walked out of the crowd and with several jumps, entered the hole inside the blessed land.
He then activated his Gu worms in front of everyone.
One, two, and three… the heavenly power's suppression around the hole had weakened, allowing him to activate three Gu worms.
This scene immediately caused the crowd to be restless, countless people seemed to be startled awake and their breathing turned rough.
Being able to use Gu meant they had the ability to defend themselves. That is to say, the risk in the blessed land greatly decreased.
However, the performance was still not over, this Gu Master suddenly ran back and with several jumps, got out of the blessed land and returned to San Cha mountain.
"Hahaha!" He laughed loudly and cupped his fists to Xiao Mang, "Thank you lord for your favor!"
Xiao Mang chuckled: "There is no need for thanks, no need. I only felt that everyone should have the rights to compete for the treasures of heaven and earth. It is too much that only a few people hog them. However, how much you can seize will have to depend on yourselves."
"We are very grateful to Lord Xiao Mang!"
"Lord Xiao Mang is a great person, and his elder brother is the hero Xiao Shan."
"Truly, they are a pair of dragon and tiger brothers!"
"Looking at all the great rank five Gu Masters at San Cha mountain, only Lord Xiao Mang cared about us weaker characters, he is a role model of the righteous path, he is so kind…"
The cheers and flattery of everyone entered Xiao Mang's ears like a tide.
The crowd of people charged into the blessed land.
"A bunch of idiots." Xiao Mang was beaming with a warm and gentle smile, but was disdainfully scoffing inwardly.
"I came really late compared to Tie Mu Bai, Wu Gui and the others. King Quan and King Xin Inheritances have been taken, now only King Bao remains! Damn them! I had already pleaded with father and the elders, but they were only concerned about Xiao Shan's illness! Hmph, it would be best if he dies, then I will become young clan leader…"
"Hmph, only after coaxing and pestering was I permitted to come to San Cha mountain, but it is too late already! How can I compare to those guys who came before me? Only by creating a hole in the blessed land, and causing chaos can I get benefits from within!"
"As for this blessed land, the more people that goes in, the more burden it will have to bear. Hehehe, the heavenly power will get weaker and weaker. So what if you guys obtained the inheritance? I can completely use my Gu worms to seize them! King Bao, King Quan and King Qin Inheritance, they are all mine! If I can't obtain them, then you guys can also stop thinking of them!"
"Alright, this is more or less it." Fang Yuan nodded with satisfaction as he looked at his surroundings.
This bronze main hall was situated on a hill. The hill was not steep and rather had gentle slopes around it.
Such a terrain was not easy to defend, but the numbers of the dog beasts slightly made up for it.
For over two hours, Fang Yuan had been arranging the formation for Bai Ning Bing and explaining to her how to deal with any situations that could occur.
BOOM…
Right at this time, the whole world shook and some dust fell off from the ceiling of the bronze hall.
"Not good, that Xiao Mang used extreme light Gu to pierce through the blessed land and formed a passage. Large numbers of Gu Masters are rushing in, killing and competing; the whole situation has completely fallen into chaos!" The lands spirit's voice resounded.
Fang Yuan chuckled without any panic.
In his previous life's memories, it had been the same. Xiao Mang's arrival signified the development of this scene.
"Chaos is good, Xiao Mang wants to profit from this chaos while I need this chaotic situation to help me drag for time." Fang Yuan's dark eyes flashed with eerie light.
"Eh? A rank five Gu Master actually mixed in among this crowd… this young man is really amazing to be able to deceive my senses, I only found something wrong when he made his move!" The land spirit suddenly said.
Fang Yuan furrowed his brows, this development was beyond his expectation: "Who is it?"
The image in front of him stopped and showed a young man with long black hair that reached up to his waist. He had a pair of deep and dark purple eyes with thick eyebrows which ends were raised up, giving him a crazed disposition like burning flames.
He gave off an awe-inspiring demonic aura, disregarding the world, an unbridled tyrannical aura that seemed to want to destroy the world like the descent of an evil dragon.
"Mo Wu Tian!" Fang Yuan gaze concentrated and recognized the man.
This person was a genius of the demonic path who had inherited an ancient inheritance and was a soul path Gu Master. Whether it was his reputation or power, Fang Yuan was not his match.
In his memories, in the battle of Yi Tian mountain, Mo Wu Tian had beheaded several rank five righteous path Gu Masters, his reputation was fearsome and his demonic flames soared to the skies. At the end, when the demonic path was completely defeated, Mo Wu Tian broke through the besiegement and stormed out with no one being able to obstruct him.
"In my previous life, Mo Wu Tian did not come to San Cha mountain! It seems the influence of my rebirth has already affected a person of such strength?"
Just as Fang Yuan was contemplating, inside the image, Mo Wu Tian seemed to have discovered being watched; he slightly turned around and unexpectedly looked right in Fang Yuan's direction.
"So it was this way…" He muttered in a soft voice and the corner of his lips formed a sinister smile.
"This is bad, he seems to have sensed us and is charging towards here!" The land spirit immediately gave a warning.
Fang Yuan's eyes squinted into a slit, Mo Wu Tian was actually targeting him with an intense hostility. What are his intentions, and what did he discover?
"The chaos will only last for a some time and when Tie Mu Bai and the others don't show up, it will start creating doubt. We don't have much time, we need to immediately start with the Gu refinement! Land spirit, raise the fog. Feng Tian Yu, follow me into the main hall and help me in Gu refinement!"
They were pressed for time, Fang Yuan shouted his commands and brought Feng Tian Yu into the bronze hall.
As for the hairy men that followed Feng Tian Yu, they were left outside to surround and protect the main hall, forming into the final line of defense.
Looking at Fang Yuan and Feng Tian Yu's departing figures, Bai Ning Bing's eyes flashed with a cold light.
The fog began to rise and spread, covering the main hall quickly before covering all the dog beasts on the hill.
The bronze hall was spacious and majestic, its walls echoed back Fang Yuan and Feng Tian Yu's footsteps, making the silence and the emptiness of this place even more conspicuous.
At present, the bronze tiles on the main hall were already a scene of emptiness — most of the materials and Gu worms were already consumed in refining Gu with only a few relief sculptures remaining now.
Fang Yuan walked to the bronze cauldron with Feng Tian Yu and sat cross-legged.
"This is the final step, the true crucial moment!" He took a deep breath, his eyes as clear as water.
Feng Tian Yu's breathing, however, was rough, showing his excitement. To a refinement path Gu Master, refining an Immortal Gu was something they looked forward to the most their whole life.
"Let's start." Fang Yuan took out the false second aperture Gu and directly threw it into the bronze cauldron.
The bronze cauldron burned without fire, the thin layer of immortal essence on its bottom started to rapidly decrease and combust!
It combusted and formed into a blue smoke that gracefully rose and covered the false second aperture Gu.
The false Gu floated above the bronze cauldron and was turned into dazzling yellow light by this blue smoke.
Fang Yuan and Feng Tian Yu concentrated all their attention into blending the blue smoke and the yellow light.
After an unknown period of time, the blue smoke turned into beads of grass that floated in the air and started growing. The yellow light turned into flowers that fluttered and fell into the grass.
"It is time!" Fang Yuan took out a dagger and cut his artery, bleeding out his own essence blood.
This step was extremely important; only with this step, could the refined second aperture Gu become Fang Yuan's. Otherwise, it would be an ownerless object that would fly away once it was refined.
Large amounts of essence blood infused into smoke. The blue smoke and yellow light immediately let out sizzling sounds and turned into a red cloud like a wave of blood sea.
The blood surged and turned into a sphere that floated in the air without spreading.
The cloud was continuously evolving: Blood sea gradually calmed down and formed a field, a large expense of red paddy that was scarlet like blood grew from the field.
Fang Yuan let out a breath of turbid air at this and promptly used a Gu to heal his wounds.
Even so, he had lost a huge amounts of blood and his face had turned wan.
"Wild grass grow wildly, the qi of blood like the sea. Three hundred years as spring, five hundred years as autumn. With unlimited divine opportunity, swim and roam in the wilds, adding in third watch, and another third watch, obtaining nine. Nine as extreme, the refinement is complete!"
He already knew the recipe inside out, but still recalled it once more now.
"Three hundred years as spring, five hundred years as autumn… next, it is lifespan Gu! Ba Gui!" Fang Yuan shouted.
The land spirit was already on standby and immediately took out two lifespan Gu at Fang Yuan's call.
These lifespan Gu were one large and one small like ginseng or tree roots and gave a crude sense of touch.
The small was three hundred years lifespan Gu; it was like a blue snake that had formed into a round loop, it could increase a Gu Master's lifespan by three hundred years with no side-effects. The large one was like a young dragon that wanted to fly to the sky, bearing its claws; it could raise the lifespan by five hundred years and similarly with no side-effects.
The worth of these two Gu was self-evident. Feng Tian Yu's eyes blossomed with light and his whole body shook at the sight of these two Gu.
Fang Yuan first threw in the three hundred years lifespan Gu into the cloud.
The cloud swallowed the lifespan Gu and immediately started raging like boiling water.
Right now, the cloud seemed to have become a blue scaled long snake that attempted to slip out of Fang Yuan's control!
Fang Yuan was caught unprepared and almost lost his grasp on this blue snake.
When he managed to react, most parts of the blue snake had already slipped out with only its tail remaining in his hands.
Fang Yuan tightly gritted his teeth and opened his eyes wide; they were completely red!
He poured in all his attention and all his strength to tightly grasp the cloud and not let it escape.
Once the cloud escaped, all his previous effort would turn into an illusion!

Seconds passed like days, eventually, the cloud gradually settled down in the air.
Fang Yuan finally had the break he needed to curse the original owner of this blessed land. Such an important point was not mentioned at all in the recipe!
All because of him concentrating hard and reacting in time, together with the help of Feng Tian Yu, he was able to calm and stabilize the situation, slowly getting back his control, otherwise he would have failed.
As time passed, a mystical aura slowly spread.
The cloud completely digested the three-hundred-year lifespan Gu, calming down and turning back to the scene of 'blood field red wheat'. But at this moment, the red wheat had turned blue-green, as if new crops were growing in spring, almost overcrowding. This was what the recipe described as "three hundred years as spring".
"That mysterious Gu Immortal must've only developed the recipe but did not actually do it himself, otherwise, he would have mentioned it." Fang Yuan caught a break and thought hard: "Next, I have to use the five-hundred-year lifespan Gu, but no need to rush."
He wiped the sweat off his forehead, calling the land spirit: "Ba Gui, show me the image of the poisoned land.
Immediately, smoke images appeared in the air, showing a picture.
Long Qing Tian's corpse laid on the ground, as his surrounding sky and land were dyed a deep green colour.
This was Long Qing Tian's jade sky Gu poison.
This Gu originated from the immemorial era, it had a strong poison that Fang Yuan would not dare to touch.
At this moment, two Gu Masters appeared in the image, they had rank three cultivation.
"This place is weird, why is it so green?"
"Quickly, see, that corpse — It's Long Qing Tian!"
They entered this place and found Long Qing Tian's corpse by accident.
"Long Qing Tian is rank four peak stage, a famous demonic head, he was actually killed!"
"Quickly go see, his corpse might have something good!"
The two were happily running towards Long Qing Tian's corpse, driven by greed, they did not realize their bodies were infected by this green light.
"Courting death." Fang Yuan sneered, as expected, in less than ten steps, their poison reacted and the two of them turned into green light, dissipating.
"The jade sky Gu poison has gotten very deep, this region is almost finished, it has completely rotted, the loophole it forms will be even greater than the one Xiao Mang created."
Time was precious, every second was important, but Fang Yuan did not move regardless of how anxious he felt.
After five minutes, with a boom, the blessed land shook and the hall vibrated.
The second loophole tunnel was created!
The land spirit sighed, this way, the blessed land's speed of destruction doubled!
"Continue refining Gu!" Fang Yuan took out the five-hundred-year lifespan Gu and threw it into the cloud.
The cloud rumbled again, trying to break free of Fang Yuan's control.
But Fang Yuan was mentally prepared, he was not caught unaware like last time, and restrained it completely.
But quickly, he felt that there was nothing he could do.
The cloud's change this time, was not only giving off a slippery feeling, but also an arrogant brute force. Like a green snake that had evolved into a flood dragon, about to break free from Fang Yuan's control.
Feng Tian Yu quickly came to help, the two worked hard to suppress the cloud's transformation.
The cloud rumbled many times, about to break free at times, but was eventually suppressed.
Five minutes later, the cloud became clear again, showing a blood field with golden wheat ready for a bountiful harvest. It was the "five hundred years as autumn" scene.
Thankfully, he only refined this Gu after the poison broke out, if not, when the second loophole formed and the hall shook, this Gu refinement would have been interrupted and would not have succeeded.
Fang Yuan waited a while more, as the cloud slowly dispersed after maturing. From the water tank size, it shrunk into a new Gu, falling down.
Fang Yuan held it, it was like a peanut shell, golden and having markings on the surface, that is, scarlet blood traces.
The first false second aperture Gu could only survive for a week, it was unstable. As for this Gu, it could survive for forty years.
At this step, the real second aperture Gu had already formed, and was nurturing in the peanut shell.
But if it was allowed to develop on its own, not just a thousand years, but even if given then thousand years, it might not turn into the real product. Only by using a strong external force, to eliminate the false and make it real, turning from phantom to solid, can it attain a qualitative change, breaking free from mortality and become an immortal!
And this external force is none other than the rank six divine travel Gu!
"Next, we have to use an Immortal Gu to refine an Immortal Gu!" Fang Yuan took deep breaths, regulating his internal flow as he started the most important step of this entire refinement process.
At this time, in the outside world, sounds of killing was overwhelming the mountain…
"This dog is mine!"
"As long as you hand over your Gu worms, I will spare you your life."
"Kill all these eggmen, these variant humans are actually occupying one spirit spring, what a waste of resources!"
All sorts of plundering and robbing were happening, as Gu Masters killed till their eyes turned red, casualties increased greatly.
"Strange! Why have we not seen Lord Tie Mu Bai after so long!"
"Where did our Wu clan Wu Shen Tong go?"
Tie clan and Wu clan Gu Masters felt something amiss.
"Search, quickly go search!"
"The heavenly power's restriction is very small now, we can use most of our Gu worms. The situation is a mess now, there is killing everywhere, as blood flow into a river, we need to find our clan's experts to suppress the situation."
"Are there any places left unsearched?"
"The deepest part of this blessed land, there is a thick fog."
Just as these people placed their sights on the bronze hall, Mo Wu Tian had walked to the edge of the fog alone.
"There is the aura of a Immortal Gu…"
His purple eyes was deep and mysterious, with arrogance and wildness hidden within. Using the purple eyes, the fog dissipated at times, as an endless number of dogs appeared in Mo Wu Tian's vision.
He frowned.
There was strong defenses, just him alone cannot penetrate this defensive line. He needed external help.
His brows eased as Mo Wu Tian turned around.
He moved like lightning, tearing through the sky, moving a hundred miles as he landed before Hu Mei Er.
Hu Mei Er was first scared till she turned pale, after recognising Mo Wu Tian, she smiled: "Young master Wu Tian, you came too! This three kings inheritance has little meat but many wolves , you might get disappointed. Eh! You have advanced to rank five!"
Hu Mei Er looked at this man, unable to hide her shock.
She gulped, trying to alleviate this shock as she forced out a smile: "That's great, you have rank five strength, you have the ability to gain great rewards from this situation. These green eggmen have huge numbers, they have built structures and castles, I cannot break through. There is a green egg empress inside, as long as we capture her, we will be able to have endless fortune."
"Hehehe." Mo Wu Tian looked at the castle, laughing lightly: "Back then, King Bao, Wang Ba Dan, had eight egg empresses, and produced numerous eggmen. King Xin, Wang Xiao Ya's inheritance has divulge information Gu and undefeated hundred battles Gu. King Quan, Wang Er Gou, had two dog emperors, Ying Ming and Ba Huang. This is the essence of the three kings inheritance, but none of them interests me."
Hu Mei Er's smile froze: "To think that young master Wu Tian knows the three kings inheritance so clearly. Since you have no interests in it, why don't you let me have it."
"As expected of a woman, you are too short-sighted!" Mo Wu Tian laughed loudly, staring at Hu Mei Er's eyes: "Let me tell you, the land spirit of this blessed land is not dead, in the deepest area, a deceased Gu Immortal's treasure awaits!"
"What?!" Hu Mei Er was stunned.
"But there is a thick fog there and over a hundred thousand dogs guard it. To go to the central control hall, it is not enough with just the two of us." Mo Wu Tian laughed deeply.
Hu Mei Er was a smart woman, she immediately understood Mo Wu Tian's intentions.
Her eyes shone as she laughed curtly: "Hehehe, isn't it easy to recruit people?"
Hu Mei Er was a decisive person, she abandoned the green egg empress, recruiting demonic Gu Masters alone with Mo Wu Tian.
With her network, and Mo Wu Tian's cultivation and reputation, a large group of demonic Gu Masters soon gathered.
Adding in the details of the Gu Immortal's treasure, the demonic merchant Li Xian, Fiery Star Bao Tong, Rock Lizard Li Qiang and others all gathered.
Mo Wu Tian returned to the fog, no longer alone, but with a demonic army amounting to thousands of people.
"They are finally here…" Bai Ning Bing sitting on the hill stood up slowly.
The fog could obscure people's vision, but because of the land spirit's help, Bai Ning Bing had a clear vision, and could see the demonic alliance army.
Mo Wu Tian observed for a while before saying: "Li Qiang, bring three hundred people and attack head-on. After a few dozen steps, you will face the steel armor dogs. Fight as you retreat, move towards the left and engage with the chrysanthemum akita dogs. Defeat them and you will charge towards the south-east direction.
"Hu Mei Er, bring five hundred people, and go left. As you fighting your way through, you will encounter lightning symbol dogs, hedgedogs and corpse dogs, do not mind the losses, just charge towards the north."
"Bao Tong, go on the right path, bring eight hundred people. Towards the southwest direction, make a din and shout as you charge, no dogs will obstruct you for five hundred steps. After you encounter the lightning symbol dogs, fighting and charge with all you've got, if you cannot break through in forty-five minutes, retreat back here!"
"Li Xian, bring four hundred people as back-up, prepare for mobilization anytime, If I give no commands, take care of the returning troops."
"Then what about you Mo Wu Tian?" Li Xian's eyes shone with deep meaning as he asked.
"I will obviously stand guard at the base, why, you have a problem?" Mo Wu Tian looked at Li Xian lightly with his expression purple eyes.
Li Xian felt a chill in his spine.
"When did this Mo Wu Tian become so scary? His cultivation surged and his killing intent is overflowing, it seems he received an amazing ancient inheritance, if not, how could he improve so much? I had thought that little beast king could fight with him, but now it seems that he is truly the demonic path's number one genius, he is simply too fearsome."
Li Xian's heart turn cold as he obeyed the command.
With such an arrangement, four demonic experts brought their troops and charged towards the fog according to Mo Wu Tian's orders.

Chapter 392: Demonic and Righteous attacking together
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
"It's coming." Bai Ning Bing's gaze shone as her expression was nervous, quickly mobilizing the dog group.
The still dog army started moving, like a giant millstone. As for these Gu Masters, they became the green bean and yellow beans, in a short amount of time, they were grinded to paste. More than half were dead, some saw the danger and retreated immediately.
The demonic army suffered a huge lost, investing over a thousand men, but only a few hundred returned.
"Young master Wu Tian, did you really see clearly?" Li Qiang questioned: "I charged in according to your instructions. We did encounter the steel armor dog on the first wave, and we retreated towards the left, but we met with the assault of both lightning symbol dogs and chrysanthemum akita dogs. The numbers were too great, we can't deal with that. After a fruitless slaughter, we could only come back!"
Bao Tong's temper was even more irascible: "I brought eight hundred people, but did not hear the shouting sounds from the northwest side. But towards the southeast side, I heard people fighting. I brought my troops there and met with the combined attack of the lightning symbol dogs, hedgedogs and corpse dogs."
Hu Mei Er's expression was also ugly: "Young master Wu Tian, I listen to you and prepared to attack. But eight hundred steps in, I did not see any dog groups. Just when I was confused, dog groups came encircling us, luckily we managed to turn around and fight our way back, if not my life would've been lost there."
Li Xian was expressionless, standing at one side. His group was meant to protect the returning Gu Masters, and fight the approaching dog groups.
Although there were lots of retreating troops, not a single dog came over, causing him to waste his time waiting.
Mo Wu Tian's expression was solemn, after a while, he spoke: "I can see the actual scenario much more clearly than all of you. There is someone manipulating these dogs, it is not a fixed formation but an ever-changing one. That is why all of you failed."
Everyone was shocked: "There is someone controlling them? Who is it?"
Mo Wu Tian shook his head: "The fog is too dense, I can only see a faint figure, I can't tell the identity of the other party. But there is definitely a mastermind, only a human's intelligence can react so perfectly. But no matter, I have some understanding of the enslavement path, from now you, you have to attack like this, to break through their encirclement and obtain the Gu Immortal treasure!"
Everyone's face had blood stains as they looked at each other, nodding reluctantly due to Mo Wu Tian's rank five strength as well as the allure of the immortal treasure.
But this time, they still returned in defeat, suffering even greater losses than before.
"The person behind this has high attainment in enslavement path, I underestimated him." Mo Wu Tian frowned, he had thought of a perfect plan, using all four routes to cooperate, but the other party reacted quickly and found out his intentions. Purposely controlling his troops to intercept the four routes before they converged, such movements were at the level of a master.
"Mo Wu Tian, you have to give an explanation! We fight with our lives and lost so many people, but we have not even seen the shadow of the treasure. Are you standing here for fun? You are a rank five Gu Master, you should put in some effort too!" Bao Tong was furious as he screamed while gripping his injury.
"Oh? You want an explanation? Hehe, then I'll give you a satisfactory answer." Mo Wu Tian laughed sinisterly, as his purple eyes shone.
"You!" Bao Tong was caught by surprise as he stared at Mo Wu Tian, unable to move.
A moment later, he fell on the ground.
Dead.
The Gu Masters went into a commotion.
Fiery Star Bao Tong, he was a famous rank four fire path Gu Master. Mo Wu Tian did not even attack, he killed him with a single stare!
"You want an explanation, I gave you an explanation, are you satisfied? If you are unhappy, you can tell me." Mo Wu Tian looked at his corpse as he waited for an answer.
"You're not speaking, it seems you are satisfied." Mo Wu Tian laughed, looking around: "Hehehe, Bao Tong is satisfied, what about you guys? Do you want an explanation from me too?"
It was complete silence all around.
Mo Wu Tian killed people in the blink of an eye, Bao Tong was rank four upper stage but he could not even take one hit, dying immediately.
The demonic Gu Masters were scared and shocked, regretting their greed, why did they follow Mo Wu Tian?
Now that they were roped in, they want to leave? Hmph, too late!
Hu Mei Er and the others lowered their heads, not looking at Mo Wu Tian's eyes. Mo Wu Tian's killing technique caused fear in them.
They had thought that he had just advanted to rank five, and might not have true rank five prowess, but to think his fighting strength was on par with Wu Gui and the others!
How old was he?
Number one genius of the demonic path, without a doubt!
After establishing his dominance, Mo Wu Tian laughed sinisterly again: "Bao Tong's Gu are still around, you guys can split up among yourselves, treat it as a compensation from me."
As he said so, the Gu Masters' eyes glowed.
Li Xian was the first to react, with a swoosh, he moved like a rabbit, pouncing on Bao Tong's corpse and taking his Gu.
Almost at the same time, Hu Mei Er and Li Qiang reacted and started their plunder as well.
The others could only watch, not daring to contest.
The three split Bao Tong's fortune among themselves, earning greatly as the grudge in them dissipated, turning into reverence for Mo Wu Tian.
Mo Wu Tian could kill people with his gaze, that was not surprising, it was a sight-based killer move.
This type of killer move directly competed souls against each other, the loser would have their souls scattered, not even given the chance to self-detonate their Gu.
Mo Wu Tian was a soul path Gu Master, the strength of his soul was way above his peers, dealing with Bao Tong and the others was extremely easy.
" Cough, cough ." Li Xian coughed, saying: "Since there are beast groups guarding, that area has to be where the central control hall is, the Gu Immortal's fortune is most likely there But how do we get in with all these dogs?"
He was wise like a ghost, as the person who obtained the most benefits out of Bao Tong's body, he immediately expressed his support towards Mo Wu Tian.
Speaking of the Gu Immortal treasure, Hu Mei Er and Li Qiang's attention were brought back to this.
Mo Wu Tian looked at this group of people, they were all injured and exhausted, together with some lingering fear, the morale was at an all-time low.
He sighed: "Truly a motley crew. It seems I can only recruit more people to have the hopes of breaking in. Spread the news, regardless of righteous or demonic… just say that Tie Mu Bai and the others have entered the hall and obtained King Quan Inheritance, those Gu Masters are blocking us outside the hall and are trying to hoard the treasure."
"This…" Hu Mei Er hesitated.
Mo Wu Tian laughed coldly: "Time is running short, once the blessed land collapses, we will have nothing left. Without more people, can we break through?"
"Young master is right." Hu Mei Er quickly replied.
"Finally stopped." On the mountain slope, Bai Ning Bing breathed out a sigh of relief, but lightly frowned.
The methods Fang Yuan handed to her were already half used up. After a few more attacks, she would be at her wits' end.
"Hahaha, my tactic at finding a chance in the chaos succeeded. After blowing up this wall, I will get King Bao, Wang Ba Dan's inheritance!" Xiao Mang laughed loudly.
Right now, he was alone in a hidden cave.
Before him, there was a tall and sturdy stone door. As long as it is blown apart, King Bao's final inheritance will be obtained.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Light shone as explosions went off.
A moment later, Xiao Mang stopped his attacks while panting, staring at the stone door hatefully.
The door was intact, there was no traces of any cracks.
"Light path focuses on speed and purification, the destructive power does not match fire path. King Bao evidently wants to find a fated person who can use fire type Gu to break through. But I do not have such Gu." Xiao Mang gritted his teeth, feeling indignant.
At this moment, a Gu Master came to report.
"Go out, who let you in! King Bao Inheritance is mine alone. Eh? What did you say!"
Xiao Mang scolded but suddenly heard his subordinate's report and grabbed his collar, lifting him up: "You say there is a Gu Immortal treasure hidden in the thick fog, and people are trying to take it down now?!"
"Yes, this information has circulated, countless Gu Masters are gathering, how would I dare to lie to you second young master?" The subordinate quickly replied.
"Hmph, don't call me second young master! I hate that title!" Xiao Mang scolded, looking at this stone door reluctantly, as his gaze turned from hesitation to determination.
Wang Ba Dan was only a rank five Gu Master, although he was called King Bao, he was only the same rank as Xiao Mang. How could his inheritance compare to a Gu Immortal Treasure?
"Go, let's go!" Xiao Mang led his subordinates and moved quickly.
"The number of people is increasing." On the slope, Bai Ning Bing's frown deepened as there were almost ten thousand people gathered outside the fog.
These people had differing cultivation levels, there were even rank one and twos. But there were still Gu Masters, gathered together, they formed a tidal wave that could sweep everything in its path.
Although she controlled a hundred thousand dogs, she was a sole person.
Outside, countless gazes looked inside with a burning desire. They were all attracted by the Immortal's treasure.
As the people created a commotion, Mo Wu Tian smiled without speaking a word.
His motive was achieved, birds die for food and humans die for fortune , this was human heart!
"Over at the righteous path, they are organising people and charging into the fog." Hu Mei Er looked far away, worried: "Young master Wu Tian, all the demonic Gu Masters are here already, are you going to stand up and direct them to form groups? We can't let the righteous path steal the treasure."
"No worries, no worries. There is such a thick fog, with steel armor dogs acting as steel walls, what can their vanguards do?" Mo Wu Tian laughed coldly, refusing to act.
Righteous path was superior to demonic path, they were more united,and more easy to unite, while demonic path members were loners. Although he Mo Wu Tian had rank five cultivation, he was still young and this was the first time he was leading, he could not subdue everyone. Old demonic experts like Kong Ri Tian and Li Fei Le would not listen to him easily.
Only when they realize that cooperating had benefits, could he use that chance to take over easily!
But now, in the hall, the Gu refinement had reached the crucial period.
After half a day, the golden peanut shell collided with divine travel Gu.
Bam bam bam!
Fang Yuan and Feng Wu Yu's vision turned black as thunder roared in their ears.
"Divine opportunity is unlimited, travel through the lands! Activateeeeeeeeeee!"Fang Yuan screamed, using all his energy to activate divine travel Gu.
Divine travel Gu was an Immortal Gu, how could he, a mortal, activate it easily?
But thankfully, the land spirit helped him secretly, as the immortal essence poured out, the divine travel Gu turned into light speckles as it entered the golden peanut shell.
The qualitative change had begun!

Xiao Mang looked at the fog in front of him, his gaze deep and solemn.
He relied on his rank five cultivation to gain the commanding position of the righteous path. He organised many assaults, but returned in great failure, suffering a huge loss.
In the fog, countless dogs were hidden, causing every wave of Gu Masters that entered suffer great injuries.
"No matter how big the losses, it will not block my path! Immortal treasure, this is an immortal treasure…" Xiao Mang's eyes shone with brilliance, shouting excitedly in his heart.
"Let's go again, organise the next wave of people." Xiao Mang instructed, but this time, little people joined in.
The painful lesson was right in front of them, despite the great benefits, these righteous Gu Masters started to hesitate, after all they only had one life.
"A bunch of cowards!" Xiao Mang saw them hesitate and scolded in his heart. Time was running short for him, other than this immortal treasure, he also had King Bao Inheritance to obtain.
"If we had an enslavement path Gu Master controlling beast groups, we could use them as cannon fodder, reducing our Gu Master casualties, and regain our morale!" Xiao Mang thought of this point.
In such a situation, the importance of an enslavement path Gu Master was evident.
"Where is Wu clan's Wu Shen Tong? With his help, we would be able to break through the fog and reach the central hall!" Xiao Mang asked.
But the answer he got was disappointing.
Wu Shen Tong had gone missing, even Wu clansmen were trying to find him.
Xiao Mang looked at the demonic faction, and his heart shook: "Not only Wu Shen Tong, even the demonic path's Wu Gui and Zhang San San are not around. Is the Gu Master controlling the dogs in the fog one of these three people?"
Xiao Mang continued guessing as he looked towards the grand hall. However, the fog obstructed his vision, causing him to feel even more irritated at the situation.
"This damn fog, it is so annoying! Too bad Wan Li Xiong Feng is not around, otherwise my clan's divine wind will blow this fog away." Wan clan's Gu Master exclaimed.
"If my clan's old clan leader is here, why would we fear these dogs?" Tie clan's four old-timers snorted.
"Lord Xiao Mang, we are not making any progress, the demonic faction is looking at us like a joke. What do we do?" The righteous path's famous healer Tao Zi came over and asked Xiao Mang.
"These demonic scoundrels!" Xiao Mang looked over at the demonic faction as the irritation in his heart intensified.
"It seems I have to make a move." He snorted, as a brilliant light appeared in his eyes: "All of you, move back."
Everyone heard this and retreated tens of steps away. At once, Xiao Mang's surroundings were vacated, emphasizing his existence.
Xiao Mang stood on the spot, shutting his eyes as his mind entered his aperture, activating his purple crystal primeval essence. The ebb and flow of the primeval sea became greater.
After storing energy for a moment, Xiao Mang's eyes opened, as his primeval sea has turned into a furious tsunami, large amounts of primeval essence entered three Gu worms.
Extreme light Gu!
My will Gu!
Bright spear Gu!
Killer move — My Glorious Spear!!
Xiao Mang's body shone with a piercing white light, the intensity of the light was dense, expanding like a mound.
Xiao Mang's body was bathed in light, he had an impressive appearance, like a descending holy spirit.
He raised a finger towards the fog.
Immediately, the light around him were manipulated, and shot out ferociously.
All of the white sunlight shot out at the same time, forming a 1.8m long and 0.6m thick spear of light.
Sixty percent of the purple crystal essence in his aperture were used up in this one attack.
The spear of light was powerful, penetrating the fog and landed on the mound at breakneck speed.
Bam!
A fierce explosion occurred.
The intense light caused everyone's eyes to be shut tightly, as they took a step back subconsciously.
Even Mo Wu Tian's eyes were squinting into a thin line.
The explosion caused the ground to rumble, as after the light, air current started to spread outwards.
The air currents turned into a strong wind, blowing in all directions causing many people to lose their footing.
Guh! Guh!
In the hall, Fang Yuan and Feng Tian Yu who were refining Gu were interrupted and both vomited a mouthful of blood.
Bai Ning Bing's face was pale, her ears buzzing from the aftermath of the attack.
"This is the strength of a rank five Gu master? Luckily, such a killer move did not hit me directly. If it landed here, my defensive Gu would not even last for a second!"
Bai Ning Bing unavoidably felt great shock.
The killer move of a rank five Gu Master, it was not something the current her could block.
As the whiteness faded from her eyes, she could see that at the location where the light spear landed, thousands of dogs were vaporised. The mound had turned into a crater.
Bai Ning Bing drew in a breath of cold air, with such might, just a few more hits and the dog formation would be ruined.
Her confidence dropped again, but Fang Yuan had instructed her beforehand what she should do in the event she was hit with such a great move.
As Bai Ning Bing manipulated, large numbers of dogs hurried to the crater, as her defenses were raised once again.
" Gasp… so many dogs!" Xiao Mang's heart was heavy, and the righteous and demonic Gu Masters gasped sharply too.
When there was a fog earlier, they could not see clearly, but now that the fog was gone, everyone's vision was clear.
Over ninety thousand dogs, densely packed on the mound, forming an iron bucket defense.
"Lightning symbol dog, chrysanthemum akita dog, hedgedog, steel armor dog, Yin dog…" Some people counted, each dog group had over five thousand and more.
"So many dog kings!" Someone shouted.
No matter how many dogs there were, they could not hide the dog kings due to their disposition. Other than the chrysanthemum akita dogs who were unique, these dog kings were all seated, like a flame in the darkness, extremely eye-catching.
"These dogs and dog kings are not that much of a threat. But there are so many heavy tai, green hua, smoke song, light heng and star heng, these five great mountain dogs!" Some Gu Masters with good vision turned pale.
The outer defense was made up of lighting symbol dogs, chrysanthemum akita dogs, and other ordinary dogs, the inner circle of defense was made up of the five great mountain dogs.
As for the entrance of the hall, the final line of defense, there were several hundred hairy men.
The entire formation was tight and secure, yet not rigid, they all had mobility and flexibility.
"What an iron formation!" Mo Wu Tian's purple eyes shone with light as he felt the situation getting more troublesome.
Even more people directed their gaze to the bronze hall.
The grand yet modest hall had inscriptions and intrinsic designs, giving off an ancient atmosphere.
"That is the bronze hall that contains the immortal treasure?"
"As long as we get past the dogs, we will reach the grand hall!"
"Immortal treasure… immortal treasure… I wonder what mindblowing riches awaits us?"
Everyone's gaze were heated, the goal was in front of them, it made their greed overflow.
"Hehehe, it is time." Mo Wu Tian looked around, sensing the change in the atmosphere.
Greed was like fire burning in everyone's hearts. But the great dog army deterred them, everyone knew that with their own strength, they would never succeed.
This was the basis for cooperation!
"Lord Xiao Mang, let's talk about cooperation." Mo Wu Tian's body was like a black smoke phantom, taking several steps and arriving before Xiao Mang.
Xiao Mang snorted, when he saw the overwhelming dog army, he thought of cooperation.
But he was afraid of getting rejected by Mo Wu Tian and also worried about his own reputation if he approached the demonic faction for cooperation as a righteous rank five cultivator.
Right now, Mo Wu Tian approached him personally, it was music to his ears.
"Hmph." Xiao Mang snorted, his attitude was neither cold nor hot, as he made eye contact with Mo Wu Tian.
Mo Wu Tian immediately understood Xiao Mang's intentions. He was extremely disdainful towards such hypocrisy, but he said: "Then in fifteen minutes, we will attack from the front and back together.
"Mm." Xiao Mang nodded, turning around, no longer looking at him.
Mo Wu Tian sneered, walking back and telling his people: "I just approached Xiao Mang and agitated him, to have a competition with him. Next, we will split into two, attacking together from two sides. We will compete to see who gets to the bronze hall first, whether the righteous faction or us demonic faction wins!"
Xiao Mang announced at the other side: "Demonic scoundrels are greedy and unscrupulous, finding me to cooperate, obviously I rejected them. How can I work with these scum? Fifteen minutes later, they will attack, we will take the chance and attack as they endure some of the pressure for us. Hahaha…"
"Young master Wu Tian rules!""Defeat these righteous hypocrites!" Demonic Gu Masters were riled up as they shouted.
"Lord Xiao Mang is wise!""Let those demonic scoundrels attract the enemy for us!" The righteous Gu Masters were spirited.
"Kill!" Fifteen minutes later, the attack began.
Righteous and demonic were far away, attacking from two directions.
Bai Ning Bing was hidden at some place, relying on her shared vision with the land spirit, using its divine consciousness to scan the battlefield.
Tens of thousand of dogs barked and bared their paws as they charged ahead.
At once, blood flowed and broken limbs flew. All sorts of Gu worms competed, like the dance of fire and ice, lightning exploded and soil was overturned, green vines grew endlessly.
"Kill!" Yi Chong charged ahead, brave and fearless. His body was covered in blue fish scales, the wind blew his fiery red hair into the air.
All around him, there was a light blue spiral wave, together with the black fins that grew on his back, he seemed to have become a fearsome shark in the sea. None of the dogs could block him.
"Immortal treasure… if I can get it and succeed in my mission, I would definitely be able to change my surname to Shang when I return to the clan." Yi Huo's gaze was determined as he turned into the god of fire, attacking even more fiercely than Yi Chong, everywhere he went, there was blazing flames and crying dogs.
Kong Ri Tian laughed heartily, turning into a rain of petals.
Li Xian laughed coldly, while people were not noticing, he used his rank five Gu and concealed his body, secretly moving ahead.
"Let's work together, with me healing there is no worry." Tao Zi shouted as many Gu Masters gathered over.
People were moving and in this great battle, Yan Jun moved slowly and steadily, like a casual traveller.
A strong and brave dog king pounced at him, Yan Hun's expression was unchanging as he turned into a hollow shadow. The dog king jumped over and went straight through the shadow.
The shadow flickered, turning back into Yan Jun's flesh body.
The dog king behind him had engaged the Gu Masters behind already.
The Gu Masters displayed all their abilities, battling with the dog group. The scene was as chaotic as it could be, and Bai Ning Bing could barely cope facing such a huge number of opponents, starting to fluster.

Chapter 394: Success at long last!
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
"Kill!!!"
"Charge!"
"Damn, why are there so many dogs!!"
Murderous yells, shouts, miserable howls, swearing and dog howls combined to form into a huge clamor that seemed to shake the world.
The battle had not even begun for five minutes; blood had formed into a river and there were corpses everywhere.
Bai Ning Bing hid at some secret place and used all her strength to mobile the dog groups. With the help of the land spirit, she was able to gradually stabilize the situation.
Lightning symbol dog, chrysanthemum akita dog and other common dog beasts suffered the most casualties. Gu Masters had charged halfway through the dog beasts and ran into the formation of the five great mountain dogs, having great casualties.
Heavy tai, green hua, smoke song, light heng and star heng; these five great dogs were very powerful and their circular formation was very reliable. They were like a huge dam that blocked these Gu Masters that were charging like a tide.
At this stage, both righteous and demonic factions suffered heavy casualties.
"Big brother, hold on!" Meng Tu grabbed Jiao Huang's arm; Jiao Huang had suffered heavy injuries from where blood flowed out without stopping.
Jiao Huang borrowed Meng Tu's strength to barely move along with the majority.
Right now, they could not retreat. They could not even stop to rest, if they left the troops, the dog beasts would submerge their tiny bodies.
"Brother, we have made a huge loss this time. We accepted Shang clan's assignment to get Fang Zheng's head. To think we would encounter an immortal treasure, sigh, we gave in to our desire for material benefits and thus fell into such desperate straits." Jiao Huang heaved a sigh.
These two were rank three peak stage Gu Masters, famous assassin group of demonic path. They had even succeeded in assassinating rank four Gu Master Xiao Fu Lu.
They thought of joining Shang clan and thus were prepared to secretly handle Fang Yuan. But the whole way, they did not find any good opportunity.
After charging into the blessed land, they encountered an immortal treasure, and followed with the majority; the result, they sent themselves into danger.
In this chaotic battle, only rank five experts could move unhindered. Rank four peak stage could fight valiantly. Rank four upper stage had to move with the crowd.
Those rank one and two Gu Masters made up the most of the casualties. Rank three Gu Masters also had to rely on luck to survive.
But even so, Gu Masters still charged forward endlessly. The illusionary immortal treasure ignited their most crazed fanatical desires.
They were charging recklessly, all delusional about obtaining the immortal treasure and attaining success in life, becoming an expert.
Only for a certain group of people, at the time of their deaths, they calmed down and regretted endlessly.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
"These people have gone mad, forgetting their own life or death at the enticement of the immortal treasure." Tie Ruo Nan slowed down her footsteps, she was shocked by the state of the battlefield!
Tie clan's four old-timers were surrounding her in a protective formation.
"The way I see it, this probably has to do with that Mo Wu Tian." The head of the Tie clan's four old-timers suddenly said in a soft voice.
"You are saying…" Tie Ruo Nan's gaze flashed.
Far away, Mo Wu Tian was moving forward in the lead, laughing crazily with his purple deep eyes flashing with dazzling light.
He was a soul path Gu Master and had secretly used his Gu to make everyone more fanatical.
"Demonic path members should all be put to death!" Tie Ruo Nan snorted, the killing intent in her heart surging up.
"Young master, Mo Wu Tian is a rank five expert, he is not someone we will be able to fight easily. We need to deal with urgent matters first, our objective is not him." One of the Tie clan's four old-timers persuaded.
Tie Ruo Nan pursed her lips and heavily nodded her head, her gaze firm as iron: "Right, the most important matter right now is still little beast king Fang Zheng!"
"Hahaha, I hadn't thought the enslavement path Gu Master in the dark would only amount to this." Mo Wu Tian laughed wildly, the fierce wind blowing in the battlefield blew his black hair and his demonic flames danced rampantly.
The united charge of righteous and demonic Gu Masters was going on much better than he expected.
Bai Ning Bing was after all a newbie, earlier, she had Fang Yuan's formations and instructions to follow. But the current situation had become more complex with a lot more new changes, it was a lot more than she could take and this in turn were flaws that were clear to Gu Masters at the level of Mo Wu Tian.
Mo Wu Tian's eyes flashed repeatedly with eerie light, at the same time as charging forward, he was doing multiple tasks. He constantly controlled his Gu to attack the dog beasts and also to influence people's minds and create a fanatical atmosphere; at the same time, he was also using his Gu to scout the battlefield.
Enslavement path Gu Masters always had powerful offense and could battle many opponents with just the strength of one person.
But everything in this world was balanced. Enslavement path had a clear disadvantage, besides the huge consumption of resources they needed, their individual strength was weak and were easy to kill.
Mo Wu Tian was searching for Bai Ning Bing's position, as long as he killed Bai Ning Bing, the dog beast formation would fall apart and a large majority of them would even scatter without a fight.
"Found you!" Mo Wu Tian's gaze suddenly concentrated as he discovered the hiding place of Bai Ning Bing.
"Hehehe, give me your life." He laughed and flung his sleeve, his figure turning into a ball of purple demonic fog.
The demonic fog moved through the battlefield at an astonishing speed and in just a few breaths' time was only a thousand steps away from Bai Ning Bing.
"Not good!" Bai Ning Bing discovered the charging fog and her heart sank.
Mo Wu Tian was a rank five Gu Master while Bai Ning Bing was only at rank four, by just this she would be hard pressed to fight him, let alone now when she was doing multiple tasks and controlling the dog beasts.
"Fortunately, I also have my trump cards!" Bai Ning Bing was startled but not panicked as she willed, "Go bite him, Ba Huang."
A hill sized enormous dog emperor heard the command and with one leap, flew over a hundred feet and smashed into Mo Wu Tian.
Woof!
Ba Huang barked loudly, its bark was like a bolt from the blue, suppressing the whole battlefield and turning it silent. Following the bark, the dog beasts flared up with high morale; the casualties among the Gu Masters became more intense.
Dog emperor!
Its physique was majestic with its whole body covered with yellow sleek fur. It had a head like that of a lion with thick mane around its neck that was dazzling like a sun.
This was an emperor among the beasts and was not something that could be looked down upon. Once it used the wild Gu on it, it could contend against rank five Gu Masters!
"Damn it." Mo Wu Tian cursed when he was stopped by Ba Huang.
Bai Ning Bing let out a breath of relief, but right at this time, a dazzling silver light shot through the battlefield and appeared in front of her instantly.
"Hehehe. Demonic path junior, take a good look at me." The silver light turned into a human figure, rank five righteous path expert Xiao Mang!
"Ying Ming!" Bai Ning Bing withstood the pressure and commanded in her mind, sending out the second dog emperor.
This second dog emperor was the size of a normal dog beast. There were gorgeous patterns on its snowy white skin like pink cherry blossoms.
Withstanding Xiao Mang's intense pressure, the wild Gu on the dog emperor activated and created clouds below Ying Ming's feet, allowing it to fly.
"Just a mere wild dog… eh, it is actually a dog emperor!" Xiao Mang scoffed but after few exchanges of lightning fast attacks and defending, he withdrew his contempt and fought cautiously.
Bai Ning Bing's expression was gloomy.
Although the two rank five experts were blocked, this situation was only temporary.
Humans were the spirit of all living beings; human's wisdom was superior to beasts. Sooner or later, Mo Wu Tian and Xiao Mang would understand the dog emperors' trump cards and then could make their moves with ease, even bypassing them to directly kill Bai Ning Bing.
Bai Ning Bing looked around the battlefield, the other Gu Masters were still in the middle of the battlefield fighting and charging forward; they were temporarily of no threat.
Bai Ning Bing let out a breath of relief and turned her gaze towards the bronze hall.
"There is not much time…" Her blue eyes narrowed, letting out a clear and cold radiance.
Inside the bronze hall, Fang Yuan took large mouthfuls of air, gasping heavily. Meanwhile, Feng Tian Yu was already lying on the ground, unconscious.
Blood flowed out of Fang Yuan's seven orifices, but he did not care; a pair of bright eyes stared at front.
A Gu was letting out brilliant light as it floated it in the air.
It did not have a concrete shape; occasionally, it was like a colorful cloud and occasionally it was like a whirlpool of light.
"Success!" Fang Yuan was filled with joy, he had already succeeded in refining divine travel Gu.
Now only one step remained and he could obtain second aperture Gu!
"You succeeded, you really succeeded!" The land spirit appeared beside Fang Yuan. It was extremely weak but its eyes glowed with light, full of happiness at the success.
"You are worthy of being a future Gu Immortal, you could really refine divine travel Gu, amazing! It was indeed a correct choice to entrust this task to you. Now, the most difficult step has passed; it is smooth sailing ahead! Next, you need to use third watch Gu and it will be a success without the least bit of difficulty."
The land spirit heaved a long sigh, its sigh full of emotions.
"Thousands of years of effort has finally succeeded today. The recipe indeed works, I am truly happy. But such a pity… that I can't see the second aperture Gu in the end…"
After it finished speaking, the land spirit Ba Gui's body gradually turned fainter and fainter till it completely disappeared.
It was dead.
The immortal essence in the bronze cauldron was almost finished with only a thin trace remaining.
The blessed land had already collapsed for the most part and was at the brink of extinction.
The aged Ba Gui had been helping Fang Yuan in refining Gu and also helping Bai Ning Bing to guard; it finally could not endure such pressure and completely withered away.
But compared to previous life where it had died a death of desperation under many Gu Masters' attacks, it was much more blessed during this life and could even be said to have had a proper death.
Ba Gui's death meant the immortal essence could not be used anymore.
However, Fang Yuan was not nervous.
For the next final step, the immortal essence could be replaced with large amounts of primeval stones.
Even if Ba Gui was alive, that trace of immortal essence in the bronze cauldron was required to support the operation of the blessed land and simply could not be used to refine Gu.
"The difficulty of this Immortal Gu refinement exceeds Spring Autumn Cicada. Just now, that huge shock to the main hall almost caused all the efforts to be a waste, and in case the Gu refinement had failed, with just my mortal body, I will definitely die from the backlash without even having time to activate Spring Autumn Cicada."
"Moreover, this most crucial step had an extreme demand on mind and a mortal simply cannot endure it. Fortunately, I chose to enslave Feng Tian Yu just to be safe, otherwise this step could never have been completed."
In his previous life, Fang Yuan was already a Gu Immortal when he refined Spring Autumn Cicada. Now this time, he was refining Immortal Gu with the qualifications of a mortal and he should not have had any chance of success.
However, first, the mysterious Gu Immortal had racked his brain and used up all his life to research and perfect this recipe.
Second, the recipe used the Immortal Gu divine travel which greatly reduced the absurd difficulty.
And finally, it was not done by Fang Yuan alone, he had the help of land spirit and also refinement path grandmaster Feng Tian Yu.
All these helped Fang Yuan to complete the most difficult and dangerous step.
"Next I have to use third watch Gu, this is much more simple. Right, I wonder how the situation outside is." Fang Yuan calmed his mind and then started hearing the shouts and commotion outside the main hall.
"Fang Yuan, be careful. Someone broke through the dog formation, a rank four Gu Master is coming towards you!" Right at this time, Bai Ning Bing's warning arrived.
"Hmm." Fang Yuan's expression was heavy as he slowly stood up.

Chapter 395: Bai Ning Bing?
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
Currently, the land spirit was dead and Fang Yuan was unable to see the scene outside the hall. However, with his previous life memories, he could guess one or two things without looking at the situation.
"There are only two rank five experts in the blessed land; Xiao Mang and Mo Wu Tian, they will be held back by the two dog emperors for some time. There are a lot of rank four Gu Masters, but at this time, there is only one who can charge to this place. That is the young clan leader of Yan clan, Yan Jun. He obtained the ancient phantom path inheritance and is specialized in hiding and attacking. It should not be a problem for him to charge through the dog beast formation."
Fang Yuan pondered, it was the truth as well.
Phantom path had once flourished in the ancient times; its concept was to be footloose and carefree, invincibility through dodging. As long as one could evade every attack, that was a form of 'invincibility'.
In Fang Yuan's previous life, phantom path Yan Jun had shown great brilliance at the battle of Yi Tian mountain, challenging the demonic path Gu Masters and causing them to suffer severe losses. That was until Mo Wu Tian showed up and beat him into retreating.
"This blessed land doesn't have strong defense! The central area is so important but there is only a bronze hall built there, although it can be used to store things, its defense is really thin; the whole thing is impressive looking but useless! If it was like the Hu Immortal blessed land with Dang Hun mountain as defense, it would simply be like a heavenly moat and even Gu Immortals would have a headache facing it. Even my own blessed land that had the structure of a blood sea was much better than this hall." Fang Yuan inwardly felt resentment. He walked over to Feng Tian Yu and kicked him awake.
"Get up!" Fang Yuan said in a cold voice.
Feng Tian Yu had worked hard and made great contributions, if it were not for him bearing most of the pressure, Fang Yuan might not have succeeded in refining to this stage.
"Ugh, mas… master…" He woke up with bloodshot eyes, his hair was scraggy like weed and his face was pale-white; his body was swaying as he greeted Fang Yuan.
"Go out of the main hall and block the rank four phantom path Gu Master. Even if you have to sacrifice your life." Fang Yuan ruthlessly commanded.
"Yes, subordinate will do his best!" Feng Tian Yu bit his lips and walked out.
His primeval essence was almost completely consumed and he did not have enough fighting strength left. Moreover, as a refinement path grandmaster, he was not specialized in intense battle. It was almost guaranteed that he would not return alive from this mission.
However, the current Fang Yuan still needed to continue with the final step, he did not have any other force remaining, thus he could only send Feng Tian Yu.
"Second aperture Gu is the top priority. Sacrificing a refinement path grandmaster for it is nothing much." Fang Yuan sat down in a cross-legged position and looked at the continuously changing gorgeous light in the air.
At this step, second aperture Gu was already mostly completely and was interchanging between real and surreal, form and formless. It was unable to be moved and also could only exist for six hours.
After six hours, if the refinement has still not been carried out, the light would disappear and all the previous effort would be wasted.
"There is no turning back now, as long as I finish this final step, I will obtain second aperture Gu! It is just that…"
Fang Yuan subconsciously stroked his abdomen with a grave expression.
In the blessed land, time flew three times faster than the outside world; Spring Autumn Cicada was recovering extremely fast and bringing great pressure to the aperture.
Even though Fang Yuan's aperture was rank four upper stage, it could not endure this pressure and there were indications of tiny cracks on the aperture surface.
Next, he would have to still use two third watch Gu, and with the effects overlaid, the time flow would be nine times faster.
At that time, could his aperture endure the pressure?
Fang Yuan was not someone who would recklessly take risks and had already meticulously planned before beginning the Gu refinement.
He had a huge chance of winning this gamble. As long as he got the second aperture and promptly left the blessed land, he would be able to have few months of respite.
He naturally had some backup plans at that time.
"Third watch Gu, go." He calmed down his mind and gathered his concentration to begin the final step.
Under the effect of third watch Gu, that light ball immediately started changing rapidly, the light rays were dazzling and gave off a mysterious aura that was hard to describe in words.
"Divine travel Gu broadens the space and third watch Gu condenses the time. This is the using the laws of both space and time, this truly is the way of Gu passed down from the immemorial era…"
Genuine knowledge comes from practice and Fang Yuan gained some comprehension from this.
Time flew, the first third watch Gu's effect was nearing its end. The light ball faintly solidified, giving off the shape of the final product.
The shouts from outside the main hall became louder, but whether it were Mo Wu Tian, Xiao Mang, or Yan Jun and so on, no one had yet to charge inside.
"Good, next it is the second third watch Gu…" Looking at the refinement finally about to succeed, even Fang Yuan started feeling excited.
However, right at this time!
Bai Ning Bing's voice came: "Fang Yuan, be careful. Tie Ruo Nan has broken the defense line and is coming towards you!"
Fang Yuan's expression changed.
At this moment, his whole attention was concentrated on the refinement and he could not pull out from it, how could he face the enemy? With Feng Tian Yu already being sent out, he did not have any defensive force.
What to do?
"Bai Ning Bing, what the hell are you doing! Are you still not going to come to guard me? I can't move now, if I die, you will also die under the powers of poison vow Gu!" Fang Yuan transmitted his furious voice.
He was extremely helpless and could only call Bai Ning Bing over.
Without Bai Ning Bing to take control, the dog groups outside would definitely be a group of leaderless army and there would be huge chaos. And soon, the group of heroes could kill their way through.
However, Fang Yuan could not care about it!
Right now, he was like a fish on the chopping board, anyone could slaughter him with him not having even a bit of retaliation power. If someone did not protect him, he would be easily killed by Tie Ruo Nan.
Fortunately, the Gu refinement was already at its final stage and now only the second third watch Gu had to be used.
Fang Yuan only hoped for more time.
As long as he made every second count and finished the refinement, with the many rank four and rank five movement Gu on him, he could break out of the siege and escape alive.
As for Bai Ning Bing?
Hehe, she is suitable to block the incoming enemies, her use would be maximised. As for what her ending would be, it was not something Fang Yuan could consider at the moment.
Bam!
The hall's great door was pushed open violently.
Tie Ruo Nan walked inside and saw the scene in the hall; she was first dazed before immediately reacting with both shock and happiness: "Little beast king, today is the day I shall take your head!"
She went in for the kill before she even finished speaking. With a wave of her hand, countless golden needles flew out.
"Bai Ning Bing!" The concentrated aura of death came pouncing on him and Fang Yuan could not help shouting again.
Whoosh!
Cold wind blew and ice started spreading, forming into an ice wall that blocked all the golden needles.
Next moment, Bai Ning Bing also appeared at the entrance of the main hall.
However, her state was clearly not good, she was covered in blood and injuries filled her body. The most severe injury was on her back, a cut that spread from her shoulder to her sacrum, it was so deep that even her bones could be seen.
There were bits of green leaves sticking on her clothes, her silver hair was scorched, and her whole left arm was purple, she was clearly poisoned.
"Quick, block her!" Fang Yuan shouted, "I only need a little time."
"You still have the leisure to say such nonsense, just make the most of this time to refine the Gu!" Bai Ning Bing gritted her teeth and cursed before starting to fight Tie Ruo Nan.
Tie Ruo Nan laughed coldly, her golden needles flew like lightning with extremely terrifying offensive power.
Bai Ning Bing clenched her teeth, she had suffered heavy injuries and did not even have ten percent of her original strength; she soon fell into disadvantage.
Several moves later, Bai Ning Bing's injuries intensified; her ankle sprained and her body wavered, Tie Ruo Nan keenly grabbed this chance to move in for a fierce attack.
Bai Ning Bing was again inflicted with heavy injuries and fell down to the ground.
"I shall kill you first!" An imprint that was on Tie Ruo Nan's forehead flashed and turned into solid, forming a golden flying dagger that shot out fiercely.
Whoosh!
The golden flying dagger cut through the air towards Bai Ning Bing's neck, but it missed by just a hairline gap and pierced into the bronze tile.
Bai Ning Bing rolled quickly and evaded the fatal attack, shouting: "How long do you still need?"
Fang Yuan's heart was thumping loudly as he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Just a little bit, hold on even if you die!!"
"If I die, you won't be able to live either…" Bai Ning Bing cursed but was interrupted by Tie Ruo Nan's attack.
Tie Ruo Nan's offense came in wave after wave, Bai Ning Bing was sent into retreat bit by bit and could only make dodging his priority, struggling in between the thin line of life and death.
Several more moves later, Bai Ning Bing gasped roughly: "I can't continue! Fang Yuan, I am going to self-destruct!"
"Your aptitude has already returned to a hundred percent?" Fang Yuan was startled.
"What do you think!" Bai Ning Bing cursed.
Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes, Bai Ning Bing changing back into northern dark soul ice physique was a definite thing. But he had not expected it to be this quick!
According to his calculation, despite the time flowing three times faster in the blessed land, it should have only have been after several more months.
Fang Yuan was in a critical juncture of the refinement process and was unable to distract his mind to consider too much.
The self-destruction of a ten extreme physique possessed extreme might and even rank five Gu Masters would have to take evasive actions.
Once Bai Ning Bing self-destructed, there would be an extreme change in the whole battle situation.
"Try to hold on, unless you can't control it anymore, don't…" Fang Yuan shouted. He was refining the Gu with his back facing the entrance and could not see the concrete situation of the fight between Tie Ruo Nan and Bai Ning Bing.
The response he received, however, was Bai Ning Bing's deep sigh —
"It's too late."
The next moment, Fang Yuan felt the cold aura spread everywhere in the main hall and the temperature decreased rapidly.
Crack…
There were continuous sounds of ice forming.
"What Gu is this?" Tie Ruo Nan's cry of surprise also reached Fang Yuan's ears.
Fang Yuan turned his head with difficulty to look and saw the main hall already becoming a world of ice and snow. Bai Ning Bing was floating high up in the air, her whole body turning into ice crystal, similar to the situation when she had self-destructed back at Qing Mao mountain.
The cold wind blustered and glaciers rose, crushing towards Tie Ruo Nan with vast and majestic force.
Tie Ruo Nan had a fierce expression as she quickly retreated towards outside.
However, the door of the main hall was already condensed into ice, she was like a turtle trapped in a jar and was surrounded by the icy layers.
"Is this the legendary northern dark ice soul physique?" Tie Ruo Nan cried out in surprise. But it was already too late, she was sealed within the ice like an insect in an amber.
The ice, however, did not stop spreading and was spreading towards Fang Yuan.
"Bai Ning Bing? Bai Ning Bing!" Fang Yuan worriedly shouted, but there was no response from Bai Ning Bing.
Her body had almost become one with ice and her whole face had started turning indistinct. Her crystal like eyes no longer shone and had thoroughly dimmed.
"Damn it!" Fang Yuan's brain was hurting from the anxiety, the ice had already reached his body, he could only use Yang Gu.
Yang Gu flew out and landed on Bai Ning Bing's body, immediately Yang aura and the icy coldness formed into a whirlpool of primeval essence; the scene back at Qing Mao mountain many years ago appeared once again!
Ice stopped spreading but this distraction almost caused the Gu refinement to fail.
Fang Yuan's heart thumped loudly in shock and he immediately concentrated all his attention without being concerned about the situation behind him.
Under his efforts and control, the light clouds finally condensed into second aperture Gu!
"Immortal Gu! I finally succeeded!!" Right now, Fang Yuan's heart was exploding with joy.
All his efforts and all the risks he took had created a very satisfactory outcome!
Pew!
Right at this time, a sharp ice blade pierced through Fang Yuan's heart, piercing from behind him and coming out of his chest.
Fang Yuan's pupils shrunk to needle-size and he looked behind with difficulty —
"Bai Ning Bing? You!"
"Fang Yuan, to think there would be a day where you fall into a trap!" Tie Ruo Nan slowly walked over, her gaze filled with hatred.

Chapter 396: Bai Ning Bing!
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
The bronze hall was deathly silent.
Time seemed to have frozen as the atmosphere became very heavy.
Fang Yuan was sitting cross-legged on the ground with the rank six second aperture Gu floating in front of him.
Immortal Gu refinement had succeeded, but Fang Yuan's attention was not at this immortal Gu.
He turned his head with difficulty and gazed at Bai Ning Bing, his eyes revealing his deep doubts.
Bai Ning Bing who had already recovered his male body was holding an ice blade and was expressionlessly standing behind him.
Tie Ruo Nan slowly walked over and fixed her gaze at Fang Yuan, her expression showing both grief and joy: "Fang Yuan, you had never in your wildest imagination, expect this day to occur right?"
Fang Yuan seemed like he did not hear anything and kept on looking at Bai Ning Bing.
Bai Ning Bing looked at Fang Yuan. With the recovery of his male body, his height had increased, he was wearing a snow white robe, his silver hair was floating in the air and his eyes shone with deep coldness.
He was like a glacier, extremely cold.
"You didn't expect it, right? That you would finally be defeated by me." Bai Ning Bing indifferently smiled while looking at Fang Yuan, "Since my resurrection back on Qing Mao mountain, I had been pondering on how to recover my male body."
"In the days spent with you, I was firmly controlled by you as a chess piece that could be moved at your will. You are not the strongest enemy in my life, but I have to admit that you are absolutely the most terrifying one."
"Fang Yuan, you are someone with innate talent for scheming, and with your vicious methods, you are a very formidable person. But I, Bai Ning Bing, am also not an ordinary character, how could I become someone's subordinate? Hmph! The more you controlled me and the more you exploited me, the more I thought of ways to escape, to make a comeback and counterattack!"
"But the Yang Gu was with you and you could cause it to self-destruct with just a thought. Thus, I did not act recklessly but racked my brains to think of countermeasures until one day, I got a superb inspiration and thought of a way."
"Actually, the scene of you voluntarily hand over the Gu had already happened once on Qing Mao mountain. Hehe, right, that is to repeat the scene back on Qing Mao mountain. The time of my self-destruction will be the time you use the Yang Gu."
"With this as the start, I began to plot secretly." The corner of Bai Ning Bing's lips slowly spread into a smile, "I would self-destruct, but it would naturally not be actual self-destruction since there was a chance you might not use Yang Gu. So, I chose…"
"Ice crystal Gu." Fang Yuan's expression was dim as water.
Back at Shang clan city, Bai Ning Bing chose ice path. Among the ice path, there were three transformation type Gu; frost demon Gu, snow fairy Gu and ice crystal Gu. Wei Yang had strongly recommended Bai Ning Bing to choose snow fairy Gu.
Snow fairy Gu was suitable for female Gu Masters while ice crystal Gu was suitable for males.
Bai Ning Bing, however, chose ice crystal Gu as a female which had caused Wei Yang to feel great regret.
"Hehe, you finally get it." Bai Ning Bing laughed, "That's right, I originally chose ice crystal Gu not because I was peeved but because snow fairy Gu changed the body to a snow fairy with clear appearance that could not be hidden. However, if I turn into ice crystal and use ice explosion Gu with it, it could form a majestic scene that is extremely similar to the self-destruction of northern dark ice soul physique. You have seen it just now, didn't it deceive you?"
"Hmph, if I was not concentrating on refining Gu, I would definitely discover the peculiarity, how could you have succeeded so easily then?" Fang Yuan scoffed.
Bai Ning Bing, however, nodded her head with a serious expression: "Right. You are very meticulous, observing everything to the finest details. When I thought of this method, I also felt it would be strange and there would be a great chance of failure. In fact, there was a change in circumstances that made me almost give up this plan."
The change Bai Ning Bing spoke of was none other than poison vow Gu.
" A great man knows when to yield and when not , my objective was to rely on the poison vow to accomplish my goal. So what if I would be used for some time?" Bai Ning Bing's eyes turned vague as he recalled, "However, the developments after that made me realize that poison vow Gu was not reliable."
"The poison vow between you and Shang Ya Zi, despite there being a very ingenious flaw, I felt that you were too confident. And I had also secretly investigated the contract with Bai clan, the rumors however were still leaked out, making me feel even more uncertain. One thing that I have learned about you is that you make the best preparations for everything, calculating even the worst outcomes. Thus, I could not help but consider this situation — what if you were not restricted by poison vow Gu, what would I do then?"
"I knew that if that was the case, I had already gotten into a desperate situation. I was restricted by the poison vow while you were not, I would become your chess piece which you could use or kill with no way for me to retaliate. Just relying on my own power, I would never be able to escape this predicament, but there was one person who could help me at Shang clan city."
"Speaking of this person, I still need to thank you for the introduction." Bai Ning Bing smiled mockingly.
He thought of the first meeting with Doctor Su Shou.
It was during the banquet organized by Shang Yan Fei. As thanks to Fang and Bai for escorting Shang Xin Ci to Shang clan city, Shang Yan Fei invited Doctor Su Shou to treat Fang Yuan's disfigured face.
And to make Bai Ning Bing give up, Fang Yuan intentionally asked her to go together.
After Bai Ning Bing met Doctor Su Shou with her real appearance, Doctor Su Shou's attitude immediately changed into extreme warmth and compassion.
Doctor Su Shou was one of the four great doctors of Southern Border and had a peculiarity of being attracted to appearance. She was extremely fond of handsome men and beautiful women, as long as their appearance was extraordinary, she would give treatment for free. If the appearance was ugly, she would loathe them and would not treat them even if they gave more money.
Bai Ning Bing asked her about the transformation of Yin and Yang, and with the reply he got, he was even more aware of how important the Yang Gu in Fang Yuan's possession was.
But at the same time, Bai Ning Bing also got to know Doctor Su Shou. Before leaving, Doctor Su Shou had made a serious promise that no matter what problems he faced, he could go find her.
" Cough cough ." Fang Yuan coughed out a mouthful of blood, the ice blade had pierce through his heart, but with the help of healing Gu, he was able to hang on to life.
However, the chilly aura of the ice blade was slowing down the speed of his blood flow, and the numbness the cold brought was spreading to his whole body.
Right now, however, these injuries were minor details: "The person you are speaking, is it Doctor Su Shou?"
"Hehehe, you are Fang Yuan indeed, you are right." Bai Ning Bing praised.
"That b*tch!" Fang Yuan cursed but also had new doubts, "But didn't you guys only meet once? Wait… there was also the second time!"
Fang Yuan suddenly recalled something while talking.
At Shang clan city, Bai Ning Bing and Doctor Su Shou had met for a second time!
That time was when Bai Ning Bing lost to Yan Tu by just a little and suffered heavy injuries while also losing her vital Gu. She went to Doctor Su Shou's place to receive treatment and to recuperate.
"Don't tell me?!" Fang Yuan seemed to have thought of something and his gaze immediately turned to Bai Ning Bing as if it was the first time he was seeing this cold and handsome young man.
Bai Ning Bing smiled, his blue eyes shining eerily: "It seems you have guessed it. That's right, I intentionally lost to Yan Tu. Losing a vital Gu is nothing, exchanging it for a chance to evade your suspicions, isn't it a profitable transaction? At that time, I decided to gamble."
Bai Ning Bing went to Doctor Su Shou's place and relying just on his intuition, he decided to take a risk — he told the truth honestly to Doctor Su Shou.
Doctor Su Shou sympathized with his experience and did her best to free him from Fang Yuan's demonic claws.
Bai Ning Bing asked her if there was a way to dispel poison vow.
Doctor Su Shou replied that she could not dispel poison vow, but there was a way which could get rid of poison vow's binding.
She recalled from her memories: Once, when she was young and ignorant, she was deceived by her sect's junior brother into using poison vow Gu to make an oath saying they would never abandon each other. Later, she used this method to get rid of the poison vow.
Bai Ning Bing asked: "What is it?"
Doctor Su Shou's gaze turned grave and said —'To live, one must die.'
Once the poison vow activated, it would cause the death of the vow maker. Doctor Su Shou was a healing Gu Master and her solution was to intentionally let the poison vow activate and cause the Gu Master's death, the poison would be removed and then revive the Gu Master.
"This method is a forceful removal. The absolute majority of healing Gu Masters cannot do it even if they thought of it. I am able to barely accomplish it because of the unique legacy from my teacher. But even so, this has a one-in-three chance of failure. If it fails, it will mean death. Think it through." Doctor Su Shou gave a final warning.
Bai Ning Bing decided on the spot to use this method.
With Doctor Su Shou's help, he got rid of the poison vow fortunately.
Without the poison vow's binding, Bai Ning Bing got in touch with Tie clan and Tie Ruo Nan was able to learn the truth.
The truth that person in front of her was Fang Yuan and not Fang Zheng.
At the same time, she also understood the event that occured on Qing Mao mountain.
To deal with Fang Yuan, Bai Ning Bing and Tie Ruo Nan launched a secret cooperation.
"We had used iron cabinet Gu and qi flow Gu around an area and planned to create the scene of the self-destruction. Unfortunately, you refused to rescue her. I could only gather a group and hurry to San Cha mountain to make new plans." Tie Ruo Nan spoke.
The scene of Bai Ning Bing being trapped for so many days by Tie clan's four old-timers looked like Tie clan's reprisal because of Bai Ning Bing killing a Tie clan's Gu Master in the inheritance, but in truth, it was all a scheme to deal with Fang Yuan.
However, Fang Yuan fought one against seven and slaughtered Tie Ruo Nan's group which caused Tie Mu Bai to take the stage.
Tie Ruo Nan received Tie Mu Bai's teachings, cultivating and patiently waiting for news from Bai Ning Bing. This was also the reason why she did not take the initiative to look for Fang Yuan although she had extreme hatred towards him.
However, Fang Yuan made an impressive move that shook everybody; he took control of the whole situation after entering three kings inheritance.
Tie Mu Bai's death caused Bai Ning Bing to keep silent and conceal himself even deeper. Using Fang Yuan's trust, he controlled the dog beasts.
With the death of the land spirit, he was unable to suppress the situation anymore and the pressure on him increased. However at the same time, he felt his whole body relaxed as he was free from the land spirit's surveillance.
He was still not at ease though, thus he intentionally gave way for Yan Jun to probe Fang Yuan.
Sure enough like he expected, Feng Tian Yu was sent out, this proved the land spirit had truly died.
Bai Ning Bing was inwardly happy and again maneuvered the situation to make a way in for Tie Ruo Nan and Tie clan's four old-timers.
The reason Tie Ruo Nan came to the main hall by herself was also because of this.
"Fang Yuan, I advise you to obediently surrender. Outside, my Tie clan's enslavement path grandmaster Tie Bai Qi is controlling the dog beasts and obstructing the group of experts. Outside the main hall, there are Tie clan's four old-timers who are using iron cabinet Gu and qi flow Gu to confine the space so that no one can infiltrate here. Surrendering is your only way out."
Tie Ruo Nan walked over and held the second aperture Gu in her hand while pronouncing Fang Yuan's fate.
Fang Yuan was silent.

Chapter 397: The battle has just begun
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
"There are truly are uncountable geniuses in this world…" After being solemn for a while, Fang Yuan raised his head and sighed.
"Bai Ning Bing, what a Bai Ning Bing… hehehe, I underestimated you, and fell victim to your schemes. It was a beautiful victory, your plan was flawless, while I was careless and overconfident, only thinking about the Immortal Gu, allowing you to succeed, it was my mistake!"
"I'm flattered. The reason I could plot against you was due to the perfect time, place and opportunity. If I were the one who had to refine an Immortal Gu while scheming against both the righteous and demonic factions, I would definitely have done worse than you." Bai Ning Bing answered seriously: "But now at this point, winner takes all and the loser loses everything, I hope you would stop your pointless struggle."
"Hehehe." Fang Yuan sneered: "The reason you have not killed me yet is because of the Immortal Gu, you want to know its effects and also the Immortal Gu recipe in my head."
Now that the land spirit was dead, the blessed land was on the brink of destruction, there were loopholes everywhere and without the heavenly power to suppress them, Gu Masters could use their Gu freely.
That is to say, Fang Yuan just had to think about it, and all his Gu would self-detonate, Bai Ning Bing and Tie Ruo Nan had no way to stop him.
"Tie Ruo Nan, Tie Mu Bai and the others died in my hands, you have to take this Immortal Gu back to redeem yourself, otherwise you will lose your young master position." Fang Yuan laughed sinisterly.
Tie Ruo Nan was expressionless, answering frankly: "That's right, Immortal Gu are unique, they are extremely important, when I bring it back it will be an unprecedented merit, I would receive the Tie clan Gu Immortals' nurturing and reward. As for the recipe to refine Immortal Gu, right now only you know about it, if I can contribute it to the clan, I would immediately become Tie clan young clan leader."
"When I ascend to the position of clan leader, I will be like Lord Tie Mu Bai, upholding justice and order. After all these things, I have learnt: To uphold justice, one needs to have great strength as well as a strong force! Only in this way can I repay Lord Tie Mu Bai's teachings, and allow him to feel at peace in the afterlife."
Saying so, Tie Ruo Nan thought about the Tie clansmen who died in Fang Yuan's hands, her eyes turning red as she felt intense fury and hatred, and also the great satisfaction of getting her revenge.
She breathed in deeply, staring sharply at Fang Yuan: "As for you, Gu Yue Fang Yuan, I will not kill you. You were able to refine an Immortal Gu using a mortal body, such refinement talent is truly spectacular. As long as you surrender, I will send you into the Tie clan Demon Suppression Tower to undergo reform. In the future, when you turn over a new leaf, and leave the tower, you will work for Tie clan, and contribute to the righteous path, repaying for your sins, this is the best outcome."
"Demon Suppression Tower…" Fang Yuan squinted: "You make it sound really nice! Hehehe, you want the Immortal Gu? Sure, let's make a transaction."
Fang Yuan talked about the details of the transaction as he focused on the movements outside the hall.
He was stalling for time.
In this situation, it may seem like a dead end but he still had one final resort.
Because of refining Gu, Fang Yuan's mind is tired and he had little primeval essence left. His rank four all-out effort Gu was not refined yet, and many beast phantoms were used up in the Gu refinement process.
He could not force it now, Fang Yuan was not in the best condition, while Bai Ning Bing and Tie Ruo Nan came prepared. Furthermore, there are the four Tie clan old-timers outside as well as Tie Bai Qi who manipulates dog groups.
Spring Autumn Cicada was indeed the best chance he had, but it carried an enormous risk, and carried the danger of dying. Unless he had no other options, Fang Yuan did not want to use it yet.
"My true opportunity lies in the experts waiting outside the hall. With just the dog group and Tie clan's four old-timers, they cannot block them all forever. As long as they fight their way in here, the situation would be completely overturned.
Fate worked in mysterious ways, not long ago, Fang Yuan was using all his methods to block the experts outside, but now he could not wish more for them to fight their way into the hall.
"This accursed Tie clan, the mastermind is them all along!"
"TIe clan's old clan leader Tie Mu Bai came personally, what attracted him? We should've guessed…"
"Tie clan is a super clan, but don't think of devouring this alone, the immortal treasure belongs to all of us!"
In the intense battlefield, everyone was excited.
Looking at the bronze hall, many Gu Masters' eyes were burning with passion.
The purple colored light barrier covered the entire bronze hall. Tie clan's four old-timers were at all four directions, guarding it securely.
As for Tie Bai Qi, he was standing at the door of the hall, looking down at all the Gu Masters as he manipulated the dog group.
He was an old man, his head was full of white hair, and he had a third eye on his forehead, shining brightly. He was a rank five enslavement path Gu Master, a Tie clan elder, and was once Tie Mu Bai's capable general. Under Tie Mu Bai's orders, he came out of cultivation, coming to the faraway San Cha mountain.
Right now, Tie Bai Qi was smiling as he looked at the battlefield.
The dog group was under his command, unleashing several times the fighting strength they had compared to before. Tie Bai Qi did not mind the losses, blocking all the experts outside.
"This old fool is really irritating." Mo Wu Tian's hair was flying in the air as he breathed roughly.
Before him, dog emperor Ba Huang was bathed in blood, in a condition worse than Mo Wu Tian. But soon, the healing Gu on it worked, and under the milky-white colored light, it began to heal rapidly.
Mo Wu Tian tried to attack while there was a chance, but a group of green hua dogs charged in.
"This again!" Mo Wu Tian gritted his teeth, forced to kill this group of reinforcements.
While it had the chance, Ba Huang managed to heal most of its injuries and became revitalized again.
Compared to the time Bai Ning Bing sent out the dog emperor and did not have the energy to control it, Tie Bai Qi had a much easier time. He manipulated the entire battlefield, and controlled the situation, showing the strength of the enslavement path fully.
On the other hand, Xiao Mang was also receiving great attention from Tie Bai Qi.
"This won't do, the immortal treasure is going to be taken by Tie clan!" Xiao Mang was anxious and hateful, but dog emperor Ying Ming was blocking his path, not allowing him to pass through.
"Bastard, you forced me!!" Xiao Mang growled, flying into the sky.
The sky already had one huge hole, tens of kilometers in diameter, as the outside showed the sky of the main world, full of clouds and was a bright sunny day.
Xiao Mang flew out of the hole, raising his hands.
Rank four, gather light Gu.
Large amounts of sunlight gathered on his palms, the light turned into a ball, flawless and huge; Xiao Mang was like an ant carrying a huge rice bowl.
Rank five, extreme light Gu.
The glorious light of the immemorial era, gathered into the ball, and caused a qualitative change, as the entire ball was infected with the glory of the immemorial times!
Rank five, river under the sun Gu.
The light ball exploded, turning into an overwhelming water of light, each drop was like a fragment of the sun, extremely bright and dazzling.
Killer move — Torrential Light Stream! 1
The river of light rolled and crashed as it poured down on the blessed land from the hole.
The light was blinding, and the waves were fierce, it turned the entire battlefield white, and everyone closed their eyes, unable to resist such a strong light.
"Oh no!" Tie Bai Qi tried to stop it, but the light river's formation was already complete, he could only reduce its impact by a little.
The grand light river was like a waterfall, crashing on the purple barrier.
The barrier only lasted for a moment before shattering, as the four old-timers who sustained the barrier spurted out mouthfuls of blood, gravely injured.
The light river broke the barrier and was weakened, but it continued on its way into the bronze hall.
The hall was immediately broken through, and the waterfall swept towards Fang, Bai, and Tie.
Bai Ning Bing and Tie Ruo Nan's pupils shrunk as they subconsciously tried to dodge.
Fang Yuan who was waiting for an opportunity, immediately reacted and activated his primeval essence.
Warp Gu!
He activated this rank five movement Gu.
This Gu was something he got from killing Chou Jiu the killer ghost doctor.
With a swoosh, Fang Yuan vanished on the spot.
The light river crashed on the floor, creating a huge hole that was about two meters deep.
Tie and Bai dodged in time, standing at the edge of the huge hole, extremely calm.
"He escaped indeed, hehehe. It seems he used warp Gu. I think this Gu came from killer ghost doctor." Tie Ruo Nan analyzed.
"We're letting him escape?" Bai Ning Bing looked at Tie Ruo Nan.
"You forgot about fixed star Gu? Don't worry, even if he escapes to the end of the world, Tie clan's four old-timers would be able to arrest him. Let me roam around for now and expend his primeval essence and energy. It saves us some trouble." Tie Ruo Nan smiled lightly, her tone showing a confident attitude towards grasping the situation.
After so many trials and difficulties, she had grown up a lot.
Guh!
Intense pain assaulted him as Fang Yuan vomited a mouthful of blood, feeling extremely dizzy. A sense of disgust almost caused him to fall face flat on the ground, feeling like his intestines were all jumbled up.
Warp Gu was a space path Gu, tearing through space and transporting the Gu Master's body. The strong effect carried an equally intense backlash.
Gu Masters who constantly use warp Gu would have their tendons entangled, their blood would flow backwards, and their joints would be dislocated. On the outside, the Gu Master would get uglier and uglier, no matter how nice he looked originally, he would turn hideous.
To use the warp Gu, one had to use other Gu worms to modify his own body. But to Fang Yuan, he no longer cared.
"Second aperture Gu will be kept safe by you guys for now. I will return this hatred a million fold in the future!" Fang Yuan quickly assessed his surroundings, realizing that although he was out of the hall, he was still a distance from the bronze hall.
Large numbers of dogs came attacking, and he quickly chose to retreat.
Although second aperture Gu was in Tie Ruo Nan's hands, the control was still in Fang Yuan's hands. He refined the second aperture Gu single-handedly, now with just a thought, this Gu would self-detonate.
Of course, unless left without a choice, Fang Yuan would not do something so stupid.
"This battle has just begun. Bai Ning Bing, Tie Ruo Nan, just you wait. Hehehe." Fang Yuan laughed sinisterly.
To use second aperture Gu, immortal essence was needed, otherwise, an insane amount of primeval stones were needed to replace it.
To Fang Yuan, he could not keep this Gu into his aperture.
Spring Autumn Cicada's pressure was high enough, if he placed another Immortal Gu in, Fang Yuan's aperture would explode.
If an Immortal Gu was outside the aperture, its aura would leak, and everyone would notice. If Fang Yuan took the Immortal Gu and ran, he would become everyone's target, immediately being chased down by two rank five, more than ten rank four, and countless rank three and two Gu masters.
"Tie Ruo Nan has the Immortal Gu, she is definitely everyone's attack target. Hehe, I'll let you guys compete while I watch on the sidelines, becoming the final winner in the end!" Fang Yuan was resolved to retreat and recover his battle strength, before finding an opportunity to strike.
But heaven did not side with him, as quickly, many Gu Masters found out his movements and screamed.
"Who is it?"
"Little beast king, it seems he came out of the bronze hall!"
"Quick, quick, quick, block him! He must've gotten a portion of the treasure."
The voices attracted people's attention, as Fang Yuan's surrounding Gu Masters quickly turned around and attacked him.
But the first who attacked were a small group of heavy tai dogs.
Not only was Fang Yuan obstructed by righteous and demonic Gu Masters, he was also specially "taken care of" by Tie Bai Qi.

"God damn it!" Fang Yuan cursed, waving his hand and summoning a golden dragon.
Golden dragon roared as it turned these heavy tai dogs into meat paste, paving a way for him to move.
"Little beast king, where do you think you're going? Hand over the immortal treasure!" Yi Chong rushed towards Fang Yuan, as the waves came crashing.
Bone wings Gu!
Fang Yuan flapped his wings, avoiding the huge waves and flying into the sky.
"Little beast king, just stay here." Yi Huo waved his hand and fire birds flew out towards Fang Yuan.
Golden aurora Gu.
Fang Yuan's body was covered in a golden light as his speed increased, retreating quickly and leaving the fire birds behind.
"Oh?" This huge change attracted Mo Wu Tian and Xiao Mang's attention.
Xiao Mang shot out a giant hand of light, like a huge elephant, flying swiftly towards Fang Yuan trying to capture him.
Fang Yuan turned at a sharp angle, narrowly avoid it.
But at this moment, there was a gentle sound near his ears.
This sound was like a lover's whisper beside one's ear, or like the voice of one's loved ones, causing an unknowing person to feel deeply emotional and unable to focus.
"Mo Wu Tian's gentle feelings Gu!" Fang Yuan quickly broke free of it after his shock, but his movement was slowed because of this, causing the giant light hand to catch up.
"Oh no!" It was too late to dodge, Fang Yuan could only use his Gu worms to fight back, using offense as defense.
Bam!
The sound of a loud explosion, and the light hand was dispersed, while Fang Yuan flew in the air like a kite with its strings cut, landing towards the ground.
The sound of the wind near his ears woke the unconscious Fang Yuan.
Sensing that he was falling, he quickly activated his Gu worm while shouting: "Tie Ruo Nan obtained a peerless Immortal Gu, she is refining it now!"
Mo Wu Tian and Xiao Mang's attention were instantly diverted.
Immortal Gu!
Everyone went into a commotion as their enthusiasm surged, causing Tie Bai Qi's pressure to intensify.
Fang Yuan caught his breath and quickly used Wu Gui's movement Gu. Large numbers of dark clouds appeared as he hid within, making his escape.
But at this moment…
Swish swish swish swish!
In the air, four chains extended out of nowhere, swift as lightning and flexible like snakes, tying Fang Yuan's four limbs.
Next, the chains tightened and coiled, spreading until Fang Yuan was tied up tightly, dragged into the void.
The next moment, Fang Yuan reappeared in the bronze hall.
Tie clan's four old-timers were at the north, south, east, and west respectively, standing around him.
The were half kneeling on the ground, their right palms facing forward while their left hand gripped their right hand, activating their Gu worms together. On each of their right palms, a black steel chain was extending out.
Tie clan's four old-timers' killer move — Infinite Search and Lock!
At this moment, in central continent, Tian Ti mountain.
In Hu Immortal blessed land, on top of Hun Dang mountain, a competition that decided the blessed land's owner was at its final moments.
"Fang Zheng, hang in there, victory is within reach!" Lord Sky Crane's voice came from within Fang Zheng. Compared to the start, he sounded extremely tired and weak.
"Yes, just one opponent left…" Fang Zheng gritted his teeth, his body full of sweat as it swayed, hanging on with just his determination.
"I, the great Xiao Qi Xing, was surpassed by a nobody?" Xiao Qi Xing's eyes were staring wide as he looked at Fang Zheng climb, at a height beyond him.
"Sigh, to think that it would end up like this." Ying Sheng Ji sighed, letting go and falling down the mountain.
He was furthest from the peak, seeing Fang Zheng's performance, he knew he had no chance of winning, thus giving up immediately.
Hu Immortal land spirit would not let him die of course, with a snap of her finger, Ying Sheng Ji was transported out of the blessed land.
Climb, continue to climb.
The skin on Fang Zheng's arms and legs were torn, as blood flowed down.
The closer he was to the peak, the greater the vibration shocks on the soul. Fang Zheng was almost unable to think of anything, there was only the mountain peak left in his mind, as his entire potential was squeezed out, he was extremely tired, and this had greatly exceeded the limits of his body.
"This lad…" Feng Jin Huang was moved.
Fang Zheng was obviously exhausted beyond belief, yet he seemed to have some sort of limitless energy sustaining him.
"Mountain peak, mountain peak…" Fang Zheng gritted his teeth, with only one thought in his mind.
He climbed step by step, surpassing Feng Jin Huang and taking the lead!
At this moment, he was only less than a meter from the mountain peak.
Even the cute and tiny land spirit was standing at the edge of the cliff, looking down and watching the birth of her new owner.
Outside the blessed land, some Gu Masters who were watching started to sigh.
"Congrats to you He Feng Yang, this time your Immortal Crane Sect performed the best."
"Hmph, if my rank six exquisite warp Gu was still around…"
"Or maybe star shuttle Gu, fixed immortal travel Gu, or one's own movement Gu, the results would be different."
The Gu Immortals had differing attitudes, some were congratulating while others were sighing in pity.
"We were lucky, just lucky!" He Feng Yang was modest but his tone could not conceal his joy.
But at this moment, a Gu Immortal sneered: "He Feng Yang, you are going to be disappointed. This Hu Immortal Inheritance belongs to us Spirit Affinity House."
As the immortal spoke, a change occurred in the blessed land!
Feng Jin Huang shouted, and a beautiful pair of wings grew from her shoulders.
This pair of wings was extremely elegant and beautiful, all sorts of lights shone on it, it was dazzling and alluring, with just one flap, Feng Jin Huang ascended easily.
"What?"
"This is…"
"The legendary Immortal Gu — Dream Wings!"
Dream wings was a special Immortal Gu, it did not exist in the real world, but only appeared in dreams. Activating it did not require immortal essence, but the Gu Master's spirit and soul instead.
Feng Jin Huang was only a mortal, activating the dream wings forcefully would cause severe damage to her soul, amnesia at best, becoming mentally retarded at worst.
But the proud her had never suffered defeat since her birth. She could not allow Fang Zheng to be the sole winner right before her eyes.
"Even if I have to pay the heaviest price, I have to attain victory!" Under Fang Zheng's shocked expression, Feng Jin Huang flew up quickly, easily surpassing him and claiming the lead once again.
The dream wings were folded back as Feng Jin Huang stood at the side of the cliff, breathing heavily, she felt a strong dizziness from the depths of her soul, almost causing her to faint.
She reached her limits.
Forcefully activating an Immortal Gu, it was not easy for Feng Jin Huang to reach this step.
"I actually lost!" Fang Zheng stared with wide opened eyes, dejected and upset.
At this moment, Feng Jin Huang was so close to the peak, in fact, her arms were already at the edge of the peak, she was one step away!
"I, I am about… to win!"
At this moment, Feng Jin Huang forced herself to raise her head, using the last bit of strength she had.
Her eyes were glowing like amber, her beautiful appearance and her snow-white long neck, was shining like jade in the blessed land's pink light.
She was like a young phoenix, expanding its wings for the first time.
Brilliant and glorious!
At once, even Gu Immortals were dazed.
She bit her lips, placing her arms at the edge of the cliff. Next, she used her remaining strength to drag her body up as well.
At the end, she rolled onto the mountain peak.
She succeeded!
The sole winner of this competition, the new owner of the Hu Immortal blessed land!
Southern border, San Cha mountain, bronze hall.
Fang Yuan was tied up by the chains.
"Hehehe, Fang Yuan, we meet again." Tie Ruo Nan stood before Fang Yuan, laughed heartily.
Bai Ning Bing sighed: "It is no use, Fang Yuan, I secretly planted the fixed star Gu in your left arm. With this Gu to locate you, the infinite search and lock can catch you no matter where you go, even if you escape to the edge of the world, we can still bring you back. You have lost, admit it."
"What?" Fang Yuan lowered his head, seeing that there was a Gu on his left arm.
This Gu was a star fragment of the immemorial era, it was eight-sided and crystal clear, giving off starlight at times, causing Fang Yuan's forearm to shine with a transparent eerie blue light.
"Bai Ning Bing!" Fang Yuan howled, struggling frantically, causing the chains to make a loud clank sound.
In his past life, Tie clan's four old-timers used this killer move to capture Kong Ri Tian, to think that in this life, the same move would be used on him.
Before, when Bai Ning Bing was trapped by the four old-timers, Fang Yuan did not help her immediately, he was wary of this infinite search and lock.
Once he was locked on by this Gu, no matter where Fang Yuan escaped, the chains would extend from the void to capture him. But without the fixed star Gu, infinite search and lock would be like a headless chicken, not a threat at all.
"This fixed star Gu was given to me by the four old-timers personally, and I even spent a long time training to use it. Do you know when I planted it? Hehehe, it was when you injected yellow gold primeval essence to nurture my aperture. You had absolutely no idea huh?" Bai Ning Bing's eyes were shining with cold mockery.
This move was truly nailing the problem at its roots, crushing Fang Yuan's hopes of a reversal!
"Fixed star Gu… good, Bai Ning Bing, you are too good!" Fang Yuan stared at Bai Ning Bing, gritting his teeth.
Tie Ruo Nan continued to urge: "Fang Yuan, you have been locked on by infinite search and lock, you Gu worms have already been sealed and you cannot even use your primeval essence. You have no hope left, of course you can still will your Gu worms to self-detonate, but I would advise you not to do that. You are a smart person, you should know which option benefits you the most right?"
Fang Yuan lowered his head, silent.
Earlier, he had activated his Gu worms furiously, but infinite search and lock was famous for a reason, it was both a space path and seal path killer move. Even the rank five warp Gu was sealed, unable to be used.
"It has ended, Fang Yuan. Demon Suppression Tower is your final resting place. You will spend the rest of your life there." Bai Ning Bing sighed, seeing his mortal enemy captured, he felt extremely complicated, feeling both joy and sorrow.
"Throughout these years, thank you for the excitement you have brought to my life. Because of your existence, it lightened up this lonely life of mine, and I became less lonely and bored. Next, I will have an even more exciting life, and you should be honored that you have been a part of it." Saying so, Bai Ning Bing paid respects to Fang Yuan in an earnest and sincere expression.

Chapter 399: Spring Autumn Cicada
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
Fang Yuan raised his head, looking at the sky beyond the bronze hall.
There was a huge hole in the blessed land's sky, connecting to the outside world. From Fang Yuan's angle, he could see the sun of southern border.
The sun was setting, it was near dusk.
"5:45pm, at this time, Feng Jin Huang should've just inherited Hu Immortal blessed land?" Fang Yuan thought.
In his previous life, he worked with demonic Gu Immortals, attacking Hu Immortal blessed land and taking over Dang Hun mountain. In the end he paid a huge price, killing Feng Jin Huang and narrowly surviving.
After Feng Jin Huang died, the righteous path grieved, writing the "Biography of Feng Jin Huang". The biography listed all the things she achieved in life, and Feng Jin Huang had three great opportunities in life.
Her first encounter, was when she was three years old, when she was sleeping, she obtained the Immortal Gu dream wings in her dreams.
The second opportunity was Hu Immortal blessed land, on this day, at 5:30pm, she successfully ascended the mountain.
"Feng Jin Huang has the Immortal Gu dream wings, the Hu Immortal Inheritance is definitely hers to take. To not give her such a huge lead, I need the second aperture Gu. Unfortunately, my efforts were in vain!"
He sighed in his heart, but his dazed expression suddenly became resolute again.
He had a chance to reverse the situation, he had not lost yet!
That is because, he had Spring Autumn Cicada.
Infinite search and lock could seal rank five Gu, but it could not restrict rank six Immortal Gu!
Fang Yuan raised his head, taking a final look at Bai Ning Bing and the others. There was nothing to say, this time, there was hope if he succeeded, and nothing to say if he failed.
"How can he be so calm?" Bai Ning Bing, Tie Ruo Nan and the others felt something amiss.
Bam!
Fang Yuan self-detonated!
At that moment, Spring Autumn Cicada burst out in two lights, green and orange, as a mystical and profound aura spread out.
All of Fang Yuan's Gu worms, all his primeval essence, all his flesh and soul, all detonated.
Every use of the Spring Autumn Cicada was a great gamble.
Fang Yuan was at a dead end, he bet on everything he had!
After self-detonating, all the energy was injected into the Spring Autumn Cicada.
Spring Autumn Cicada turned into a brilliant dot, carrying Fang Yuan's remaining will and tore through space, entering the most famous forbidden ground in this world — the river of time.
The Gu world had southern border, northern plains, western desert, eastern seas, and central continent. There was also one river of time, connecting past, present, and future, that was time itself.
Space and time were the basis that constructed the world.
Swish swish swish…
The river water in the river of time ebbed and flowed, crashing like waves.
Every drop of the water of time was pale white, but over a gazillion droplets of water crashed, intertwined, collided, and spun each time, giving off a brilliant light show.
In this desolate and plentiful river water, Spring Autumn Cicada was like a roaming traveller returning home, its wings flapped as it carried Fang Yuan's consciousness and moved against the flow.
To Fang Yuan, this was the third time he used Spring Autumn Cicada.
The first time, he entered the river of time without any experience. The second time, he was forced to self-detonate, there was too little time.
This time, he was mentally prepared, and finally experienced the feeling of going against the tides.
This feeling was so mystical and incredible. Countless light shadows, like a movie playing in reverse, appeared in his consciousness.
It felt like a second passed, but it also felt like years had passed.
The dangerous waves came crashing each time, Spring Autumn Cicada quickly lost its stamina, and the energy from self-detonating was expended, it struggled and jumped into one of the droplets, vanishing.
Fang Yuan blinked, and the image before him had changed!
"Hold on, hold on, all can be negotiated. I can promise to tell you the true path, but you must ensure my safety. I have a poison vow Gu…"
Fang Yuan heard a familiar voice begging for his life, he looked down and saw Wang Xiao.
He was stunned, as his heart pounded, his expression changed as he revealed an unconcealed joy.
"Hahaha, I succeeded, I succeeded again, I won the bet, I managed to rebirth!" Fang Yuan spread his arms, laughing loudly.
Wang Xiao: "…"
Fang Yuan's sudden performance caused him to feel shocked and suspicious.
"What rebirth? What succeeded? Is this guy mentally unsound? But honestly, there are lots of crazy demonic path Gu Masters. Damn it, I encountered such a maniac!"
Being stepped on by Fang Yuan, Wang Xiao who was lying on the ground thought about this and begged even louder.
"Hahaha…" Fang Yuan's laughter continued, this feeling of escaping from a hopeless scenario and restarting once again was simply too good, he felt great!
He first inspected his aperture.
In the aperture, his vital Gu Spring Autumn Cicada was extremely weak once again, its lustrous body had turned into wilting autumn leaves.
Fang Yuan willed, and Spring Autumn Cicada hid its body, entering a deep sleep, regaining its strength through the river of time.
"This way, the threat Spring Autumn Cicada has been alleviated!" Fang Yuan laughed even louder, his eyes shining brightly.
He looked around again.
This was evidently still the blessed land, he was stepping on Wang Xiao, and there was a corpse beside him, it was Yun clan's young clan leader Yun Luo Tian.
He was killed by Bai Ning Bing, and his corpse was sent over by expending immortal essence.
Thinking of Bai Ning Bing, Fang Yuan's laughter stopped, unable to laugh anymore.
It was this guy, planning for so long and finally betrayed him, causing Fang Yuan to fail even though he succeeded in refining second aperture Gu, falling into deep despair. If not for Spring Autumn Cicada and his good luck, Fang Yuan would've completely lost. Regardless of death or captivity in Demon Suppression Tower, he would have no opportunities left in life.
Demonic path was like this, it was like walking on tightrope, one step was all it takes for destruction. Falling into the abyss, with no hopes of ever getting back up.
"I was simply too careless, thinking about Feng Jin Huang and wanting to refine an Immortal Gu, I ignored the true demon that was hiding near me! But this Bai Ning Bing's acting was also convincing, planning for so many years, working so hard to numb my senses, and then giving me the final blow. Heh, I am still a mortal, I am not an invincible god." Thinking of this, Fang Yuan's mouth was bitter.
Fang Yuan was improving and growing ferociously, Bai Ning Bing was the same.
This was the harshness of reality, and also the beauty of fate.
In this world, everyone was a main character, but everyone was also a side character.
"Everyone has their own advantages, Bai Ning Bing has the Northern Dark Ice Soul physique, Tie Ruo Nan has her Tie clan background, Feng Jin Huang gained an Immortal Gu in her dreams when she was three years old. As for me, I struggled for hundreds of years, cultivating bitterly until I refined the Spring Autumn Cicada."
Fang Yuan thought about this, and his emotions surged again, he smiled brilliantly and recited: "
Viewing thousands of mountains in deep crimson
Layers of trees dyed red
On the limpid blue water
Hundreds of barges race against currents
Hawks spread their wings in the vast sky
Fish swim freely under deep water
All living things vie for freedom under the autumn sky
Pondering over the immensity of the universe
I ask this boundless and misty earth
Who rules the fate of this world?"
If heavens had emotions it would grow old, the Great Dao is emotionless and impartial. Every living being has the chance to rise up, it depends on how one uses their opportunities, and how one fights!
In this world, no one is born to be a side character. And there is no one who is an eternal main character.
Living beings compete, the weak are eliminated.
Precisely because of the heroes competing in this world, facing off with their respective strengths and trump cards, can history be so immense and interesting, making the world such a mystical place.
Thinking so, the bitterness, hatred, shock, grieve and joy vanished in Fang Yuan like a trace of smoke.
His heart was clear, his demonic resolution shone deeply in his eyes.
He started to think calmly.
"So I rebirthed at this time. According to my previous life's development, I grilled Wang Xiao regarding the path towards Wu mountain, but he did not tell me even after dying. I had no choice and had to kill him, using the beast strength placenta Gu to devour his and Yun Luo Tian's apertures."
Fang Yuan was solemn, his expression like ice, as he recalled in his mind what was about to happen.
"Next, I spent a lot of effort, exposing the Spring Autumn Cicada to convince the land spirit. Next, I killed killer ghost doctor Chou Jiu, Wu Shen Tong, and Zhang San San. I unexpectantly obtained a slavery Gu from Zhang San San, and was about to continue killing people when an accident occurred. I had no choice but to interfere and kill Long Qing Tian, but because of the jade sky Gu poison, I had no gains."
"Next, I refined Gu, defended the hall, and got betrayed by Bai Ning Bing…"
Fang Yuan's mind worked like lightning, almost instantly recalling the previous life as his eyes squinted into a line, subconsciously clenching his fists tightly.
"The situation is really perilous!" With his rebirth, Fang Yuan looked at the situation clear as day, his previous life's carelessness became this life's alertness.
Firstly, Bai Ning Bing already knows about the details regarding the refinement of the Immortal Gu.
She had secretly cooperated with Tie Ruo Nan, Tie clan had to be prepared long ago, that Tie Bai Qi might have already hidden himself in San Cha mountain, ready to strike at any moment.
The enemy is hidden while I am exposed, this is not good!
Next, during the last few days of refinement, Xiao Mang would arrive here. The unexpected Mo Wu Tian would also join in with his new rank five cultivation.
In his previous life, Fang Yuan killed several demonic heads causing the demonic faction to have no leader. Mo Wu Tian's arrival easily overturned that as he gathered the demonic path's strength using his rank five cultivation. It could be said that because of him, it hastened the outside experts' attack on the hall.
The enemy is strong while I am weak, that is even worse!!
Lastly, the most severe point…
Fang Yuan raised his left arm.
In his previous life, he was kept in the dark, but now he knew: Bai Ning Bing had secretly planted the fixed star Gu on him, on this forearm. Once the Tie clan's four old-timers used the infinite search and lock, he would have no way to escape, captured even if he ran to the edge of the world.
"Now that I think about it, Tie clan did not move earlier because first, I killed Tie Mu Bai, and that situation greatly exceeded their expectations. Secondly, they want to reap the benefits from others' conflict, attaining the fruits of victory without loss. Thirdly, they are extremely vigilant. Although infinite search and lock can restrict rank five Gu worms, it could be resisted in other ways. What if they arrested me but did not find the Yang Gu? Thus because of this, they kept it as a final trump card."
Fixed star Gu was secretly planted, Fang Yuan was now like a fish in the net, he could not escape. It was almost a hopeless situation.
(Author's note: This book is the realization of my dream these six years. Thus it contained many things, and is different from other books. One point especially, that is Fang Yuan the main character, is able to fail. Demonic path was never about winning every battle, demons lose too. If I do not write out the failure, I would not be able to represent the true nature of "demonic". Any risk has a price to pay, if one day, in the event Fang Yuan's death would make the book more interesting, or even elevate it to another level, then I would write him to death, that is also the tragedy of the demonic path.)

Chapter 400: Life is but a few hundred years, it is all a grand gamble!
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
"Fixed star Gu, this is like a rope tied around my neck. Although I have methods to get rid of it, I need a lot of time to prepare. If I want to immediately get rid of the fixed star Gu, unless Bai Ning Bing took it back personally, otherwise, I can also chop off my left forearm…" Fang Yuan's heart was burning with this urge.
Fixed star Gu was hiding in Fang Yuan's forearm, once he discarded his forearm, Tie clan's four old-timers would only be able to retrieve his broken limb.
If if he did that, Fang Yuan would lose a limb.
He would have to treat it in the future, making a broken limb grow back, creating something from nothing, it would spend a lot of effort.
Not mentioning how troublesome healing would be, the thing now was once he loses his left arm, it would be alerting his enemies. Tie clan and Bai Ning Bing would immediately realize that Fang Yuan knew what was going on, and would immediately start their attacks.
That way, the attackers of the main hall would also include Tie clan and Bai Ning Bing.
To Fang Yuan, such a situation was worse than the previous life.
"I cannot alert them prematurely! I was lucky to rebirth, compared to last time, my only advantage is that I know what is going to happen. I have to go with the flow, since Tie clan and Bai Ning Bing are still usable to me now. Once I lose my arm, not only would Tie clan be forced to go against me, the situation will also change, and derail from the tracks of my previous life, I would lose my rebirth advantage completely."
But if he did not get rid of his arm, how would he get out of this situation, and counterattack under such dire circumstances?
Fang Yuan pondered, all sorts of people, incidents, cause and effect flickered in his mind.
Wang Xiao, Chou Jiu, Wu Shen Tong, Zhang San San, Long Qing Tian, Xiao Mang, Tie Ruo Nan, Bai Ning Bing, Mo Wu Tian, Yan Jun, Feng Tian Yu…
Slavery Gu, jade sky Gu poison, land spirit, bronze hall, immortal essence, fixed star Gu, second aperture Gu, undefeated hundred battles Gu…
Numerous choices give birth to unlimited possibilities. Infinite possibilities affect each other.
Fang Yuan's mind worked rapidly, all sorts of inspiration and scenarios happened in his head like lighting a flint in the darkness.
What should he do to protect himself, while maintaining the biggest benefits?
He thought and thought, expending his mental energy, in just a little bit of time, his ears were buzzing.
"Wait!" Suddenly, Fang Yuan's body shook.
"Maybe… take a step backwards, and the sea and sky becomes wider ? Should I consider this from a wider perspective?" An absurd thought appeared in this head.
"No way, if I do this, the risks are greater!" He shook his head, muttering as he denied this idea.
But this thought was rooted in his head, it continued to influence him.
"If I do this and manage to succeed, my gains will be overwhelming!" Fang Yuan's eyes shone brilliantly.
But the next moment, he shook his head again: "If there is even an inch of calculation mistake in this plan, I will be completely finished, the consequences would be worse than falling into Tie Ruo Nan's hands. The Spring Autumn Cicada has already been used, I cannot use rebirth again for a while…"
As he thought, Fang Yuan's gaze became solemn and deep.
Suddenly, he laughed lightly: "To think that I, a great demonic leader in my time, am being so careful and worried now, afraid to execute my plans. As long as there is hope, I should be brave enough to do it. Only an overwhelming benefit can cause me to go forward relentlessly. Fortune and risks come together, why should I go slow and steady to build my foundation? I want to ascend to heaven in one step!"
"That's right, this is the plan! Death without a proper burial if I fail, fly into the sky like a dragon if I succeed, and pave the way for my future plans. Hehehe, hahaha, life is but a few hundred years, it is all a grand gamble!"
"Little beast king, don't be rash, we can talk this out. You want the path into Wu mountain, we can negotiate this, it can be discussed." Wang Xiao underneath his feet begged.
Fang Yuan laughed at times, remained solemn at times, frowned at times, and went back to laughing happily at times. He scared this rank five Gu Master, the lord of Wu mountain, a great demonic expert to death.
In Wang Xiao's heart, Fang Yuan was a maniac, a mentally ill person.
Demonic path is extreme, without a clan's support, cultivation is difficult. At times they struggled at death's door, they face great mental pressure. It is not uncommon for demonic Gu Masters to develop mental illnesses.
Especially when Fang Yuan talked to himself sometimes, or even made poems for himself, it intensified Wang Xiao's worries.
Against a normal person, he had his ways to deal with them. But dealing with a madman, even a Gu Immortal has no confidence.
"Oh? You plan to tell me Wu mountain's entrance?" Fang Yuan frowned, looking at Wang Xiao.
"Of course, but you have to let me off." Wang Xiao saw a reaction from Fang Yuan and shouted anxiously.
"Hmph!" Fang Yuan's gaze became sharp, pressing with his feet and with a crack, Wang Xiao's head was smashed to bits.
Wang Xiao was a great expert, devious and cruel, cold and emotionless. To get him to say the correct entrance into Wu mountain, Zhang San San's rank five slavery Gu was needed.
But in Fang Yuan's new plan, Wang Xiao had been discarded, there is no need to waste time talking to him, thus he was directly killed.
A pity for Wang Xiao, the lord of Wu mountain yet he died so pathetically in Fang Yuan's hands.
After killing Wang Xiao, Fang Yuan took his Gu and used beast strength placenta Gu, devouring his and Yun Luo Tian's apertures.
"This way, beast strength placenta Gu's aptitude is eighty-three percent. In terms of immortal essence, we spent a little bit more than expected, slightly exceeding two portions. Ba Gui, you want me to stop?" Fang Yuan suddenly said.
Land spirit: "Eh? How did you know my thought?"
"Of course I know." Fang Yuan snorted, leaking the Spring Autumn Cicada's aura: "Ba Gui, have a feel, what do you think this is?"
The land spirit was speechless!
"This, this is the aura of a rank six Immortal Gu! It seems… it seems to be the Spring Autumn Cicada… Spring Autumn Cicada is the seventh mysterious Gu in this world! You are a mere mortal, how can you possess such an Immortal Gu?"
In his past life, Fang Yuan spent a lot of time talking to Ba Gui, eventually failing to convince it, thus gambling and revealing his greatest trump card, convincing the land spirit.
This time, Fang Yuan revealed Spring Autumn Cicada's aura from the start and went straight to the point: "Ba Gui, I will not lie to you, I am a future Gu Immortal, using the Spring Autumn Cicada to rebirth myself into the past."
"What?!" Land spirit was shocked beyond words, the information was too great, it could not accept it so readily.
Fang Yuan's expression was arrogant: "I came back from the future, I know everything. Ba Gui, I am your next master, I succeeded in refining the second aperture Gu in my previous life…"
Fang Yuan spoke.
In his last life, he convinced the land spirit, but now, he had the knowledge of the future, as well as the experience of refining second aperture Gu as evidence, the land spirit was quickly convinced.
"Young man, you really are my future master? Listening to your words, it seems you really succeeded in refining second aperture Gu! Regardless of whether you are lying to me, I am exhilarated. Because this means the success of second aperture Gu has been raised by thirty percent!" Land spirit said happily.
"Enough trash talk, Ba Gui, I came from the future, I know the dangers that are lurking. First, I need to kill a person!"
A moment later, Long Qing Tian died by Fang Yuan's hands.
In his last life, this Long Qing Tian went into a weakened land and used the jade sky Gu, poisoning the blessed land and forming a loophole, causing great damage to the blessed land, and also causing Fang Yuan a lot of trouble.
This time, Fang Yuan struck immediately after rebirth. Before Long Qing Tian entered that weakened area, he used the heavenly power to restrict him and easily killed him.
"Young man, I am starting to believe you. You killed a dangerous threat prematurely. Sigh, the three kings modified the blessed land, my control over this land is not strong anymore. You could sense this danger and have the Spring Autumn Cicada, you really came from the future…" Land spirit exclaimed.
Fang Yuan sighed, land spirit was old and dying, it was like a dying old man, it could not compare to a young land spirit.
For example, it could not even detect the fixed star Gu on Fang Yuan's arm.
Fang Yuan did not waste time with the land spirit, he worked quickly, taking Long Qing Tian's Gu worms and devoured his aperture.
In his previous life, because of the jade sky Gu poison, Fang Yuan could not take the battle loot after killing Long Qing Tian. But this time, he acted early and Long Qing Tian could not use his Gu, thus Fang Yuan had no restrictions.
After looting Long Qing Tian, Fang Yuan gained several useful things.
Other than the aperture, his greatest loot was jade sky Gu.
This Gu was like a dark green bamboo stem, palm-sized and hollow in the middle, it gave off a smooth texture when held in one's hands, like a piece of jade.
Rank five jade sky Gu originated from the immemorial era, it was extremely rare now. It had an extremely strong poison and there was barely any ways to deal with it, it could easily poison a person to death, causing them to fade into a green light.
This Gu had great use, Fang Yuan kept it carefully.
"Bai Gui, quickly transfer me to this place."
The next moment, Fang Yuan appeared in front of the demonic enslavement path master, Zhang San San.
Zhang San San had not even reacted before Fang Yuan attacked, ending his life.
Fang Yuan killed and plundered the aperture, it was the same thing again, causing the beast strength placenta Gu's aptitude to rise again.
Zhang San San was a rank four Gu Master, but had a rank five slavery Gu. Fang Yuan's greatest motive for killing him was this Gu.
With another flash, Fang Yuan appeared in front of killer ghost doctor Chou Jiu.
"Eh? Little beast king! How did you…" Chou Jiu saw Fang Yuan and was taken aback, his expression extremely shocked.
Fang Yuan's expression was plain as he used the rank five slavery Gu.
The slavery Gu exploded into a yellow light, landing on Chou Jiu.
Chou Jiu shouted: "F*ck! Rank five slavery Gu! You can kill me but not humiliate me , you want to enslave me, you are dreaming…"
He did not know that in the previous life, he begged Fang Yuan to use slavery Gu.
With the land spirit to suppress him, Chou Jiu could not use Gu worms, the slavery Gu was easily planted on him.
But to control a rank five Gu Master, it was not so easy, it was a contest of souls.
Chou Jiu resisted with all his strength, Fang Yuan's soul trembled as he entered a stalemate.
Chou Jiu sneered, his forehead full of sweat: "Little beast king, you are too naive. For an enslavement path Gu master, the soul's foundation is most important, the higher the better. It is not easy to control wild beasts, not to mention men. Man is the spirit of all beings, you want to control me who is a rank higher, it is wishful thinking, hehe… ahhh!"
Chou Jiu screamed in pain, as his smug laughter was terminated by Fang Yuan's slap.
With this interference, the contest of souls tilted towards Fang Yuan's advantage, as the yellow light merged into his body.
As long as it is fully merged, Chou Jiu would become Fang Yuan's most loyal slave!

Chapter 401: Battle begins once more
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
Chou Jiu was shocked, quickly concentrating his mind and pushing his soul, meditating resist this yellow light.
This yellow light was supported by Fang Yuan's soul power, but he was young and had weaker foundations in his soul compared to this hundred year old monster Chou Jiu. To enslave Chou Jiu, it would not be an easy task.
But why would Fang Yuan not see this coming, he had his ways.
Piak piak piak, bam bam bam.
"Stop, you dare to hit me!"
"Kick my face again and I'll fight it out with you…"
"F*cker, still kicking, I'll kill you!!"
"Stop hitting , stop hitting me."
"No, no more…"
Fang Yuan hit Chou Jiu until he rolled around, Chou Jiu could not use Gu worms but Fang Yuan had his strength path Gu worms available.
Comparing strength, Chou Jiu was not Fang Yuan's match. Quickly, Chou Jiu's face was bruised, and his distraction meant that the yellow light fused into his body more deeply.
"Hold on, I have to block it, once it fuses completely, I will be his slave, I will have no way out!" Chou Jiu squeezed into a ball as he allowed Fang Yuan to hit him, the strong sense of danger causing his hair to stand.
Just a tiny bit of light left, near his forehead unable to fuse properly.
Fang Yuan laughed coldly, suddenly saying: "Zeng Ah Niu, you don't want revenge? Chen Jiu betrayed you and is living well with Shang Yan Fei."
"You, how did you know?!" Chou Jiu was taken by surprise, the light quickly entering his body with this chance.
Chou Jiu's expression instantly changed, kneeling before Fang Yuan.
"This subordinate greets master!"
Fang Yuan laughed heartily.
Success!
This rank five slavery Gu should be used on a rank five Gu Master to express its true worth.
Till now, Mo Wu Tian and Xiao Mang had not arrived yet. Tie Mu Bai, Wu Gui, Ku Mo and Wu Lan Shan were all killed by Fang Yuan, the final choice was Wang Xiao the owner of Wu mountain and killer ghost doctor Chou Jiu.
But how could Wu mountain compare to the door of life and death? The door of life and death was a forbidden land on the same level as the river of time!
Enslaving Chou Jiu meant getting the clue to the door of life and death. Moreover, Chou Jiu is one of the four great doctors of southern border, his influence even spread to the righteous path, he was definitely better than Mo Wu Tian.
The only flaw was that enslaving Chou Jiu placed a great burden on Fang Yuan's soul, it was a problem for his upcoming Immortal Gu refinement.
"Chou Jiu, back then did you use the poison vow Gu with Doctor Su Shou, swearing to love each other for eternity, never abandoning each other?" Fang Yuan looked at the killer ghost doctor, asking a question.
"There is indeed such a matter, but master, how did you know?" Chou Jiu kneeled on the ground and answered with a bruised face, feeling confused.
"Hmph, since you used the poison vow Gu, do you know how Doctor Su Shou lifted its restrictions?" Fang Yuan squinted his eyes.
"Poison vow Gu is mountain pledge sea oath Gu's replacement, Chen Jiu does not have the ability to negate it. She took a great risk for that gigolo Shang Yan Fei, letting the poison vow kill her. Without a host, the poison vow's strength vanished. She then used healing techniques to resurrect herself, getting free of the poison vow!"
Chou Jiu said this with a furious expression. He loved his senior sister greatly, but she betrayed him for a gigolo, even ignoring the dangers to her life and broke the poison vow.
Fang Yuan heard this and was even more furious than him, lifting his leg and kicking Chou Jiu away.
"You lying piece of shit!"
He remembered that in his previous life, Chou Jiu said this:
"We took an oath in front of the blessed land's sea, to protect and stand by each other."
"But who could have thought her heart had already changed and actually broke the oath we took at that time and injured me, defecting with that thief!"
What oath, it was the motherf*cking poison vow Gu!
This Chou Jiu only spoke of less important matters, making important information unclear and concealing himself. If he had said poison vow Gu back then, Fang Yuan reckons: He would not have been so unaware, not knowing that there was a person in Shang clan city that could break free from poison vow Gu, and thus he would've been careful of Bai Ning Bing.
"But I should've guessed it, when Chou Jiu talked about Shang Yan Fei's appearance, he said that he was only slightly better looking. Saying such shameless words like it was natural, it was no surprise that he would not mention the Gu."
Fang Yuan looked at Chou Jiu with contempt.
Saying he loved her, but used the poison vow Gu to restrict her, it showed how sinister and inferior his inner heart was. Such a person speaking with exaggerated truths was nothing strange.
Fang Yuan was also suspicious of how Bai Ning Bing broke free from the poison vow, even in his previous life Bai Ning Bing did not say the reason. Now Fang Yuan knew, it was Doctor Su Shou who helped her break free of it.
"Alright, let the past be past. Chou Jiu, go to King Xin Inheritance and get me undefeated hundred battles Gu." Fang Yuan collected his thoughts and instructed.
"This subordinate will do all that he can!" Chou Jiu answered.
Chou Jiu was a healing Gu Master, he was not a refinement path master like Feng Tian Yu, it was impossible to ask him to assist Fang Yuan in refining second aperture Gu. But it was extremely easy for him to get the undefeated hundred battles Gu.
This is because the blessed land was weakening, not long later, Gu worms would be usable, Chou Jiu just needed to charge ahead and he would obtain undefeated hundred battles Gu.
At this point, Fang Yuan's slaughter ended.
He returned to the hall and continue refining Gu.
Compared to his previous life, he saved a lot of time after rebirth. Without the Spring Autumn Cicada's pressure it was much easier.
Back then he only spent an hour a day, refining Gu like a maniac, forcing his own limits. But now he could sleep six hours, slowly and steadily, refining Gu with perfect sequence.
Days continued to pass, and the blessed land was getting weaker. But the immortal essence expenditure was much less than last time. Fang Yuan had his experience from the last time, he took less detours this time, many steps were completed in one try, and the land spirit was extremely amazed.
Three kings inheritance's weird state attracted everyone's attention.
As time went on, Che clan, Zuo clan moved out, and Xiao Mang and Mo Wu Tian also appeared on San Cha mountain.
Finally, October 24th came again.
"Master, this subordinate has succeeded!" Chou Jiu kneeled on the ground, holding up a Gu, handing it to Fang Yuan.
This Gu had a bland appearance, like a grey stone disc, it was none other than undefeated hundred battles Gu.
In his previous life, Feng Tian Yu who Fang Yuan enslaved obtained King Xin Inheritance and had several hundred hairy men as followers. Now, Chou Jiu was not a refinement path master, he broke through by force, only getting the undefeated hundred battles Gu, not a single hairy men followed him.
But the hairy men were good at Gu refinement, they could not battle. The hairy men's line of defense was as good as nothing, Fang Yuan did not mind it.
After keeping undefeated hundred battles Gu, Fang Yuan gave instructions before sending Chou Jiu away. This process was done in the dark, Bai Ning Bing did not learn of it.
Fang Yuan returned to the bronze hall, and Bai Ning Bing had already arrived.
Behind her, there were a hundred thousand dog beasts, either resting or playing around.
Fang Yuan smiled lightly: "Bai Ning Bing, hand your Gu worms to the land spirit."
"What?" Bai Ning Bing was shocked: "Aren't I commanding these dogs?"
"The land spirit can use Gu worms, its manipulation is better than yours." Fang Yuan explained.
Land spirit appeared, slightly worried: "Young man, I have to refine Gu with you while controlling the immortal essence, if I have to expend effort controlling the dogs, I might not have the energy to do so."
Fang Yuan snickered, his expression extremely confident: "No worries, aren't you confident of my actions? Among the enemies I have my pawn pieces too. There are sufficient primeval stones here for you to manipulate the dogs."
"Is that so…" Ba Gui hesitated, but thinking of Fang Yuan's secret identity, he agreed in the end.
"As for you Bai Ning Bing, come with me. When I refine Gu, I need a trustworthy person to defend me." Fang Yuan patted Bai Ning Bing's shoulder, showing a kind and affectionate smile.
Bai Ning Bing snorted, her gaze shining secretly, as she said in a flat tone: "Up to you, as long as you don't die, whether the Gu refinement succeeds or not is none of my business."
Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing entered the hall together.
Fang Yuan sat down as Bai Ning Bing acted as his guardian.
Fang Yuan shut his eyes, not doing anything.
"What are you waiting for? There is not much time." Bai Ning Bing endured for a while before breaking the silence.
"Ning Bing, stay calm, some things cannot be rushed." Fang Yuan smiled lightly, no anxiety at all as he spoke plainly.
Bai Ning Bing snorted, not speaking, her eyes squinting, thinking in her heart:"What is this Fang Yuan thinking of? He took away my commanding rights, is he suspicious of me? No, he arranged for me to be in the hall, he still trusts me! I have to continue enduring."
She thought of Tie Ruo Nan, feeling assured: "She is blocked by the dog groups outside now, without my assistance, she can only break through by force. Damn it, he did not let me control the dogs. Thankfully, we have a backup plan, Tie Bai Qi is already secretly on San Cha mountain."
A moment later, Fang Yuan was calm and resting, not doing anything.
This time, even the land spirit came to urge Fang Yuan to refine the Gu.
But Fang Yuan rejected him, not doing anything.
Land spirit was anxious, its tone became slightly angry, but Fang Yuan used his rebirth identity to convince it.
At this time, on San Cha mountain peak.
Blue, red light pillars were thin and weak, still shining on the mountain peak. King Quan inheritance's yellow pillar was gone.
The previous time, only red pillar was left, that was because Feng Tian Yu took King Xin Inheritance. But this time, Chou Jiu was not a refinement master, he could not break through the final round, thus two pillars were left.
"I wonder who took King Quan Inheritance!"
"Two left, us smallfry have no chance…"
"But it is really strange, none of the rank five Gu Masters in the inheritance came out, did something happen?"
"That's right, King Quan Inheritance was inherited, but why did the others not come out?"
"They are being retained inside the blessed land. This blessed land is facing destruction, soon the door will open, allowing us to enter and exit at will." A voice echoed.
"It is Lord Xiao Mang!" Someone cheered, recognising the person's identity.

Chapter 402: All is within my control
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
Extreme light Gu!
Heaven's will Gu!
Empty fist Gu!
Killer move — Immemorial Light Fist!!
Xiao Mang stood at the peak of San Cha mountain and used his killer move, causing the sky to dim.
Light rays formed into a giant hill-sized fist and pierced through the blessed land's barrier.
In an instant, the whole blessed land shook and an enormous hole formed forming a passage connecting the inside to the outside. Gu Masters could enter through it without any obstructions!
"Charge, everything in the blessed land is ours!"
"We need to hurry, or else we won't be able to seize anything."
"Unfortunately, the good stuff will be taken by those experts. It will be good if they leave just the soup for us."
"How nice would it be If I can luckily obtain King Xin and King Bao Inheritance!"
It was a scene of chaos; countless people cheered while rushing into the blessed land, causing the pressure on the blessed to greatly increase.
"This is it, hehehe, a bunch of idiots!" Xiao Mang laughed coldly inwardly and stepped into the blessed land.
The bronze hall also recovered from the tremors.
Land spirit transmitted its voice to Fang Yuan: "So you were waiting for this tremor to pass, it was really dangerous! If it was during the Gu refinement process, it would have caused a huge disturbance and the consequences would be too terrible to imagine. You are truly a Gu Immortal who has been reborn."
Fang Yuan smiled and transmitted a mental message: "I am not only a Gu Immortal, but also your future master. Ba Gui, you need to know I am the best candidate for refining the Immortal Gu. The more you cooperate with me, the higher our chance of refining the Immortal Gu. Now, I remember there will be two more tremors, we need to avoid them as much as possible. Alright, let's begin the Gu refinement!"
Fang Yuan threw the false second aperture Gu into the cauldron.
With the land spirit's cooperation, the bronze cauldron burned without any fire and the remaining bit of immortal essence started combusting!
Immortal essence combusted and formed into a blue smoke that gracefully rose and covered the false second aperture Gu.
The false Gu floated above the bronze cauldron and was turned into dazzling yellow light by this blue smoke.
Fang Yuan concentrated his attention in harmonizing the blue smoke and yellow light.
Previously, he refined the Gu together with Feng Tian Yu, now he was doing it alone and was thus slightly slower.
Mo Wu Tian arrived at the edge of the dense fog by himself.
His deep and mysterious purple eyes were enchanting and wild. Through his purple eyes, the fog seemed to be invisible and the sea of dog beasts showed themselves in his sight.
"Such a tight defensive formation, one man alone cannot charge through it, it seems I will need to borrow strength!"
He resolutely turned around and after a while found Hu Mei Er.
"Ah! Young master Wu Tian, you have actually advanced to rank five!" Hu Mei Er was shocked at Mo Wu Tian's cultivation progress.
Mo Wu Tian talked of the immortal treasure and was able to immediately incite the desire in Hu Mei Er who expressed her full support.
However, when they were on their way, they found that the news about the immortal treasure had already spread.
The two inquired about the details and learned the news was released by the killer ghost doctor Chou Jiu. Right now, he had already gathered a huge group of demonic Gu Masters and was heading towards the bronze hall.
Mo Wu Tian furrowed his brows. Most of the demonic path Gu Masters had already gone with Chou Jiu, and thus he was only able to gather a few people.
Moreover, talking of influence, he was no match for Chou Jiu.
Mo Wu Tian was after all a newcomer while Chou Jiu was an old veteran who had roamed around Southern Border for many years and was also one of the four great doctors. Most of the people would have favors to ask of him and he had some influence even in the righteous path.
With no choice, Mo Wu Tian could only join with Chou Jiu's group.
"With little brother Mo Wu Tian's help, these mere dog beasts are of no worry to us!" Chou Jiu welcomed Mo Wu Tian enthusiastically.
Mo Wu Tian's brows furrowed deeply as he was used as a target board for Chou Jiu. But nevermind, if he endured this and helped out, they would be able to get to the main hall quicker.
The huge crowd of demonic Gu Masters looked majestic, but they did not immediately charge towards the main hall but instead remained there.
"Sir Chou Jiu, time doesn't wait for anyone, why are we not charging in towards the hall?" Mo Wu Tian's brows had furrowed into a knot as he urged.
Chou Jiu said with a chuckled: "More people means bigger strength, there are still many of our people that have not joined us. We need to absorb their strength to become even stronger. When we charge at that time, the pressure and danger each person faces will be much less."
Mo Wu Tian urged again but Chou Jiu just chuckled and replied politely, not yielding the least bit.
Mo Wu Tian started to feel anxious, he tried several more times but Chou Jiu remained firm.
"This old fool does not know the value of time!" Mo Wu Tian repressed his anger and immediately contacted Hu Mei Er, Li Xian and others to agitate and incite everyone, making them even more impatient.
Chou Jiu had no way to deal with it since he could not directly go against everyone's intent, and could only lead a group of demonic Gu Masters to arrive at the edge of the fog.
Mo Wu Tian observed for a while and again made the strategy to divide the crowd in three groups, and so on.
Chou Jiu, however, said it was not a good idea and that the fog was too dense to understand the actual situation. As a doctor, he had his morals as a healer, he could not bear to see everyone risking themselves and delivering themselves to death.
Mo Wu Tian stomped his feet in anger and went to contact everyone and incite them with the allure of the immortal treasure.
The demonic Gu Masters' mood was agitated, Chou Jiu also took advantage of the situation to push the responsibility for this matter to Mo Wu Tian and chose the people who would charge forward. However, he put a condition that only those who were willing could go forward and they could not be forced.
The demonic crowd readily agreed and moved towards the three paths according to Mo Wu Tian's arrangement.
"Not good, someone is attacking from outside!" When the refinement was going on, the land spirit's voice suddenly arrived.
"No need to worry, I have already anticipated this situation, go take charge of the battle outside, I will stabilize the Gu refinement for the moment and wait for you to rotate with me." Fang Yuan's expression was calm.
The land spirit divided most of its concentration in commanding the dog beasts according to Fang Yuan's instructions and beat back the demonic crowd just like in previous life.
Mo Wu Tian was unresigned and again formed the second assault group, but they still met with great losses and returned defeatedly.
Chou Jiu came forward at this moment: "Everyone knows my rule, I take one life for every life I save. Right now, I will treat everyone first and hope you all can fulfill the promise later."
Finished speaking, he started healing everyone.
The demonic crowd was moved to tears. Chou Jiu's influence increased rapidly and even more people left Mo Wu Tian to side with Chou Jiu.
Chou Jiu patted Mo Wu Tian's shoulder and said in a kind voice: "Brother Wu Tian, do you see it now? I advised you earlier to not take the risk. Now, so many of our comrades have lost their lives, it makes me so sad."
His voice was quite loud which caused Mo Wu Tian's eye to twitch and his anger reached an extreme level.
"This old sinister fool! If I was successful in breaking through these beasts, it would be his contribution; and now that I failed, he is avoiding all the responsibility! Hmph, I did underestimate these beasts. I had thought the formation was a weak one, and had never thought that there was a Gu Master controlling them from behind. Such a fast adaptation speed and method, this person is definitely someone with deep attainment in enslavement path. Damn it, this is really hateful!"
Mo Wu Tian gritted his teeth but could do nothing.
In the previous life, he was able to use force and threat to make the demonic Gu Masters throw their lives. However, with rank five Chou Jiu here now, he was not able to be so unrestrained.
"Let's wait. Righteous path Gu Masters will also soon gather together and we can discuss it with them. After all, we only have one life, in case we charge through and let the righteous path get the benefits, it would be really bad." Chou Jiu spoke his plan.
"Lord killer ghost doctor is right."
"Lord killer ghost doctor is indeed benevolent and cherishes the lives of us small characters."
"Doctors have their healer morals, Lord killer ghost doctor is after all a senior of our demonic path…"
Mo Wu Tian gritted his teeth till they made cracking sounds, he really wished he could kill this old bastard.
Like this, the time was delayed for a good while until the righteous path Gu Masters gathered under the lead of Xiao Mang.
They charged through several times but also returned in defeat. Xiao Mang was getting anxious while thinking of the unopened King Bao Inheritance and again used his killer move.
Extreme light Gu!
My will Gu!
Bright spear Gu!
Killer move — My Glorious Spear!!
A 1.8m long and 0.6m thick spear of light landed on the mound.
An intense explosion occurred with shockwaves blowing away everything. After the dazzling light dispersed, the fog that covered the mound also dispersed.
The bronze hall and the majestic dog beasts were revealed before everyone's eyes in their full glory.
Righteous and demonic crowd felt their hearts thumping in excitement but also turned cold at the scene. The immortal treasure was in front of them but how could they charge through such an enormous dog beast formation.
It could only be done if the righteous and demonic allied.
Those with experience all thought of this.
Xiao Mang looked at the demonic path's direction and Mo Wu Tian also glanced at the righteous path.
It was clear they needed to ally, but they had to see which side would compromise first.
Time passed by minutes and seconds…
Chou Jiu calmly watched the dog beasts while Xiao Mang's expression was solemn as he closed his eyes to recuperate. He was the young master of the grand Xiao clan, a famous figure among the righteous path, how could he lower his head towards the demonic path first? If words spread later, his reputation would have a great hit.
"The second tremor has gone, Ba Gui, my secret chess piece has showed its use and for a short time, they won't attack. Let's continue the refinement!" Fang Yuan summoned the land spirit.
While the righteous and demonic path were in a stalemate, Fang Yuan once again resumed the refinement.
At this moment, the blue smoke and the yellow light had finally blended with each other.
The blue smoke turned into beads of grass that floated in the air and started growing. The yellow light turned into flowers that fluttered and fell into the grass.
Fang Yuan took out a dagger and cut his artery, bleeding out his own essence blood.
Large amounts of essence blood infused into smoke. The blue smoke and yellow light immediately let out sizzling sounds and turned into a red cloud, like a wave of blood sea.
The blood surged and turned into a sphere that floated in the air without spreading.
After a round of evolution, the smoke sphere settled down and formed a field with abundant red wheat growing in it.
Fang Yuan let out a breath of turbid air when he saw this.
He had lost a lot of blood which caused his face to pale. He immediately used a Gu to heal his wound.
"Wild grass grow wildly, the qi of blood like the sea. Three hundred years as spring, five hundred years as autumn…" He took out a lifespan Gu.
This was a three hundred years lifespan Gu which looked like roots with rough texture, like a snake that was coiled into a circle.
Fang Yuan threw it into the smoke in blood field, the cloud of smoke immediate started raging like boiling water.
In previous life, this strange change had nearly caused Fang Yuan to fail. Now, however, Fang Yuan had was mentally prepared and easily controlled the situation. Under his control, the cloud of smoke gradually settled down.
However, right at this time, the land spirit suddenly warned: "Not good, those Gu Masters have started attacking together! There might not be time to refine Gu."
"No need to worry, everything is under my control." Fang Yuan coldly smiled and took out the second lifespan Gu.

Chapter 403: Bai Ning Bing, have you acted enough?
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
"Killlllll…"
"Charge through!"
"Kill these goddamn dogs!"
Shouting, screaming, shrieking, cursing, dog barking, all these sounds merged into one, causing the ground to tremble.
The attack had just begun for ten minutes, but the mound was already overflowing with blood and corpses.
"Sir Chou Jiu, we are slow, with this kind of pace, when will we ever get into the bronze hall!" Mo Wu Tian urged.
Chou Jiu snickered: "The dog groups are huge, is it that easy to get through? It is better that we are slow, the righteous path will take on more pressure for us, we can benefit from the chaos better."
Chou Jiu was already Fang Yuan's slave, his greatest wish is to continue stalling for time.
Earlier, the righteous and demonic factions were at a stalemate, but this Mo Wu Tian had to ruin it by finding Xiao Mang to cooperate. Chou Jiu could not stop him, he could only go with the flow.
After starting the assault, he tried his best to slow them down.
They had planned to attack from two directions, but because of killer ghost doctor's manipulation, it caused the righteous faction to be further in the advancement, thus taking more hits. Meanwhile, the demonic path had less losses, but the assault's momentum was slowly, they were in danger of being surrounded.
"Chou Jiu, what are you thinking of! You are too muddled, we have to charge with vigor, how can we move so slowly? You are old and confused, can't you see? Our group is already in deep trouble, once our movement stops, we will be surrounded, we will be in greater danger than the righteous path!" Mo Wu Tian was stomping his feet in anger, shouting.
Chou Jiu stared with his eyes wide open, shouting back: "Mo Wu Tian, you junior, why are you screaming for nothing, what do you know? Doing it your way, how many people did we lose earlier! Later when we compete with the righteous faction for the immortal treasure, they will be our enemy, we have to weaken them!"
Saying so, Chou Jiu's tone changed, consoling softly: "Oh young man, it is not wise to charge ahead recklessly."
Because of what happened earlier, the majority of the demonic Gu Masters supported Chou Jiu and objected to Mo Wu Tian.
Mo Wu Tian's heart was furious, as he raised his head and screamed: "Old fool Chou Jiu, we have different opinions! You all can wait here and die, I am going to get my immortal treasure!"
Saying so, he moved ahead and charged towards the bronze hall.
Hu Mei Er, Li Xian and the others felt that Mo Wu Tian was right, they wanted to go ahead but their strength was insufficient, they could only go with the crowd.
"Youngsters are so rash." Chou Jiu sighed, then laughed: "Look, after being psyched by me, he is taking on the pressure for us. We will steadily move ahead, using the road that he paved for us, perfect!"
Everyone laughed, praising Chou Jiu's brilliance.
Countless dogs formed into a wave, as thousands of Gu Masters resisted them.
Blood flowed and broken limbs flew. All sorts of Gu worms competed, like the dance of fire and ice, lightning exploded and soil was overturned, green vines grew endlessly.
Yi Chong's body was covered in blue fish scales, black fins growing on his back with a light blue spiral wave around him. He seemed to have become a fearsome shark in the sea, charging ahead fearlessly.
Yi Huo turned into the god of fire, charging ahead as he slaughtered, everywhere he went, there was blazing flames and crying dogs.
Yan Jun used the phantom path Gu worm, turning into a hollow shadow as he evaded attacks again and again, safe and sound.
Li Xian used his rank five Gu and concealed his body while people were not noticing.
Kong Ri Tian turning into a rain of petals, floating in the sky.
The experts displayed all their abilities, getting close to the bronze hall. Among them, two were at the frontlines, and were the most prominent.
It was none other than Xiao Mang and Mo Wu Tian.
But good times did not last, Ba Huang and Ying Ming, the two dog emperors appeared, blocking their advancement like last time.
"It is time." At the frontlines, Tie Ruo Nan was bathed in blood as she stopped her footsteps, resting as she breathed heavily.
Tie clan's four old-timers were guarding by her side, other than that, there was Tie Bai Qi.
"We are a few thousand steps from the bronze hall, there are many dogs here, it is up to you, Lord Tie Bai Qi." Tie Ruo Nan said.
"Hehehe, I have been watching the whole time, my hands are itching already!" Tie Bai Qi took off his hat, showing off the third eye on his forehead.
Pew!
He activated his Gu worm, pushing the space before him with both hands, forming a black hole.
The black hole continued to spin, as numerous white apes jumped out.
The white ape army gushed out, forming into a strong formation as it charged towards the bronze hall.
"Young master, go ahead. I will block them here." TIe Bai Qi's tone was confident and powerful.
"We'll be counting on you, the Immortal Gu is most important, for the clan, we have to arrest Fang Yuan alive!" Tie Ruo Nan gritted her teeth, waving her hand and bringing the Tie clan four old-timers and starting their invasion.
With the white ape army to cover for them and sacrifice, Tie Ruo Nan successfully made it into the hall.
Fang Yuan was still refining Gu, he could not do anything else!
Land spirit wanted to strike, but Fang Yuan stopped it: "Ba Gui, don't force yourself! You have to control the dog groups while manipulating the immortal essence to assist me in refining Gu, how can you be further distracted? Bai Ning Bing, it will be up to you now, go block her!"
Bai Ning Bing snorted coldly, squinting her eyes as he blocked Tie Ruo Nan, engaging in fierce combat.
In the space before Fang Yuan, cloud smoke was moving violently.
In his previous life, he had already used third watch Gu by this time. But now, without Feng Tian Yu's help, Fang Yuan's progress was extremely slow, he had just thrown in the five hundred year lifespan Gu.
Without the refinement master Feng Tian Yu, Fang Yuan felt difficulty controlling the cloud smoke.
The cloud smoke reacted violently, causing Fang Yuan to almost fail several times, but he managed to salvage it every time.
Behind him, as Tie and Bai fought, Tie clan's four old-timers joined in.
Bai Ning Bing could not rival them, as she fell into a disadvantage, shouting: "Fang Zheng, I can't hold them back anymore, how long more do you need!"
The cloud smoke had finally absorbed the lifespan Gu, turning into the blood fields, golden wheat, filled with crops. It was the 'five hundred years as autumn' scene.
Fang Yuan's voice was nervous: "Hang in there, I need a lot of time!"
"If I die, you will not live too…" Bai Ning Bing cursed continuously.
Several moves later, Bai Ning Bing gasped roughly: "I can't continue! Fang Yuan, I am going to self-destruct!"
"Your aptitude has already returned to a hundred percent?" Fang Yuan was startled.
"What do you think!" Bai Ning Bing cursed.
The cloud smoke was slowly maturing, dissipating. From a water tank's size, it shrunk to a basin's size.
"Try to hold on, unless you can't control it anymore, don't…" Fang Yuan shouted.
"It is too late." Bai Ning Bing sighed deeply.
Crack crack…
Frost quickly gathered, as the cold aura spread everywhere in the main hall and the temperature decrease rapidly.
"What Gu is this?" Tie Ruo Nan's cry of surprise also reached Fang Yuan's ears.
Fang Yuan turned his head with difficulty to look and saw the main hall already becoming a world of ice and snow. Bai Ning Bing was floating high up in the air, her whole body turning into ice crystal, similar to the situation when she had self-destructed back at Qing Mao mountain.
The cold wind blustered and glacier rose, crushing towards Tie Ruo Nan with vast and majestic force.
"Is this the legendary Northern Dark Ice Soul physique?" Tie Ruo Nan cried out in surprise. But it was already too late, she was sealed within the ice like an insect in an amber.
The ice continued spreading towards Fang Yuan.
"Bai Ning Bing? Bai Ning Bing!" Fang Yuan worriedly shouted, but there was no response from Bai Ning Bing.
Her body had almost become one with ice and her whole face had started turning indistinct. Her crystal like eyes no longer shone and had thoroughly dimmed.
"Damn it!" Fang Yuan cursed, standing up and sending the Yang Gu towards Bai Ning Bing.
But halfway, the Yang Gu made a u-turn, and returned to Fang Yuan's right hand.
At the same time, the cloud smoke turned into a Gu worm, landing on Fang Yuan's left hand.
This Gu was like a peanut shell, golden and dazzling, the markings on the surface resembles bright red blood traces.
Earlier, the fake second aperture Gu could only live for a week, and was not stable. But this new Gu could survive for forty years!
"Hehehe." Fang Yuan raised his head and laughed, using liquid metal Gu and blocking the frost.
Then he said to Bai Ning Bing: "Bai Ning Bing, have you acted enough?"
The frost came to a stop.
Fang Yuan laughed again, saying: "Did you have a good time cooperating with Tie clan?"
This time, Bai Ning Bing could not longer act, she turned back into flesh body and stared at Fang Yuan with a shocked and solemn suspicion: "How did you!"
"In Shang clan city, you purposely lost to Yan Tu, getting Doctor Su Shou's help to remove the poison vow, and then secretly contacted Tie Ruo Nan. On San Cha mountain, you plotted together with the four old-timers… all these, did you think I was ignorant?" Fang Yuan played with the two Gu in his hands as he said.
Bai Ning Bing landed on the ground with a dazed expression, stunned beyond words.
"How did Fang Yuan find out all these? I was extremely secretive. This means, he was always watching coldly at my performance! Wait, I succeeded in planting the fixed star Gu though…"
"Fang Yuan, you demon, so what if you found out! You can't escape today, there is nowhere to run!" Tie Ruo Nan saw that the matter was exposed and quickly broke out of the ice, as the four old-timers joined her.
Fang Yuan chuckled, raising his left arm: "You mean the fixed star Gu? What if I chop off my arm?"
Tie clan's four old-timers frowned deeply.
Once Fang Yuan chopped off his arm, even if they used their killer move, they would only get his arm.
According to their understanding of Fang Yuan, sacrificing his left forearm was nothing to this cruel and wicked person.
"Hahaha!" Tie Ruo Nan suddenly laughed.
She pointed at Fang Yuan, shouting: "Fang Yuan, stop trying to deceive us! So what if you saw through our scheme? The dog group outside the hall cannot block the two factions. Soon, Xiao Mang, Chou Jiu, Mo Wu Tian, Yi Huo, Yi Chong and the others would charge in, can you defend the Immortal Gu?"
"You are a frenzied lunatic, killing so many Gu Masters and plundering their apertures to refine Gu. These crimes are unforgivable, Bai Ning Bing is the best witness! As long as we announce it to the world, you will be a wanted criminal everywhere. More importantly, your Immortal Gu is not done refining yet!"
"Do you still have a chance of succeeding? Impossible! You have no time left, not long later, this hall will be overrun by people, where can you run to? Try flying out? Hehe, you only way out now is to surrender to our Tie clan, and contribute that half-done Immortal Gu to us, as well as surrender the old clan leader's Gu worms, and enter the Demon Suppression Tower for reform, that's the only way you can keep your life."

Chapter 404: Refining Immortal Gu again!
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
Tie Ruo Nan took a step forward and looked with a gaze that was sharp as a knife: "Fang Yuan, you are a smart man, you should be clear of your situation!"
"I am indeed clear of my situation." Fang Yuan's expression was tranquil: "And I am even more clear of your situation."
His lips revealed a trace of cold smile: "Immortal Gu refinement has indeed not finished, but this has let me preserve more portions of immortal essence, enough for me to kill you all!"
However, right at this time, Ba Gui appeared and spoke with a tearful expression: "No use, it is no use. There will be too much loss in immortal essence to kill them and the remaining amount won't be able to support the Gu refinement. Furthermore, it is late now, there are too many holes in the blessed land and it will completely collapse and disperse into smoke not long later."
Its biggest obsession was to complete the refinement of second aperture Gu, it did not even care about its own destruction.
Right now, Fang Yuan had only refined to this stage and the crucial step still remained which was also the most difficult step; but the situation no longer allowed him to continue.
"Young man, you made a grave mistake in your calculations, our Immortal Gu refinement is a failure!" The land spirit howled in grief.
"Refining Immortal Gu? Never expected it to be so lively here." Yan Jun calmly stepped into the main hall.
In the previous life, he had been obstructed by Feng Tian Yu, but now with no obstructions, he walked freely into the bronze hall.
"Heheh, Fang Yuan, you are not the blessed land's master, thus the land spirit will not completely obey your commands. Since young clan leader Yan Jun has arrived, the others also won't be far. Today, your loss is certain." Tie Ruo Nan had some fear towards the land spirit and could only continue to engage in psychological battle.
"No, there is still hope, the Gu refinement can't be considered a failure." Fang Yuan suddenly smiled.
He moved his gaze towards Bai Ning Bing.
Bai Ning Bing's heart tightened; if Fang Yuan used Yang Gu to force her to fight to the death, what course of path should she take?
However, Fang Yuan's gaze moved past Bai Ning Bing and turned towards the land spirit Ba Gui.
This aged Ba Gui was looking awful right now after crying, appearing extremely broken-hearted.
"Ba Gui, do you still want to refine second aperture Gu or not?" Fang Yuan transmitted his voice.
"Could, could it be that you have some way?" Ba Gui suddenly felt a trace of hope: "That's right, you are a reborn Gu Immortal, and with your previous life's experience, you should have expected this situation right!"
"No, the situation is beyond my expectations. The current me is only a mortal and I am unable to make a difference." Fang Yuan said frankly, "Ba Gui, I have failed you, the Gu refinement this time is indeed a failure."
The land spirit started wailing even louder.
However, Fang Yuan immediately changed the topic: "But this failure is only temporary, we can still have hope."
The land spirit's crying softened as it asked: "What do you mean?"
"After you die, I will be the only person who knows the recipe. The half-finished second aperture Gu is also with me, so Ba Gui, you must protect me."
"Of course I have to protect you! You are the only person who satisfied the requirements of the blessed land and are also a reborn Gu Immortal, there is a huge chance of the refinement of the second aperture Gu succeeding in the future even if it is a failure this time." The land spirit answered as a matter of fact.
"Good. it is is great that you have this understanding. However, you can only protect me for a period but not forever. Not long later, you will die. With the remaining immortal essence, we also cannot completely root out all the enemies in the blessed land. Even if you transport me to the outside world, there are many groups of Gu Masters on San Cha mountain." The corner of Fang Yuan's lips curled into a sinister smile.
Since the rebirth this time, everything was going smoothly. As he inched closer to success, he could not help but feel a trace of excitement.
"Then how do you want me to protect you?" The land spirit asked.
Fang Yuan chuckled and said profoundly: "Ba Gui, do you remember the third section of the second chapter of the The Legends of Ren Zu?"
The land spirit was dazed as it guessed Fang Yuan's meaning, it said with hesitation: "You are saying… no, that won't work, there are two conditions that are not fulfilled. First of all, you need the light of glory of the immemorial era."
"Hehehe." Fang Yuan laughed satisfiedly at this, he raised his hand and pointed to the top of the bronze hall and shouted, "Look, the light is here!"
From the moment he stood up, he had inwardly asked the land spirit to share its vision, thus the situation outside was very clear to him.
Afterward, the talk with the Tie clansmen and others were only delaying the time and waiting for a good opportunity.
This was already the third time Fang Yuan had used Spring Autumn Cicada and by accumulating his experience, he had an even deeper understanding of rebirth.
There was indeed a butterfly effect to the aftermath of rebirth that could cause some things to change completely. However, there was also historical inertia; many great events that occurred were conflicts that accumulated over time, they only lacked a trigger point. Even without the original trigger, a new one would always appear. This was not something a person alone could influence and change easily.
Outside the main hall.
Xiao Mang was getting impatient fighting with Ying Ming and flew to the sky.
Rank four, gather light Gu.
Rank five, extreme light Gu.
Rank five, river under the sun Gu.
Killer move — Torrential Light Stream!
The river of light rolled and crashed as it poured down towards the blessed land.
The light was blinding, and the waves were fierce, it turned the entire battlefield white, and everyone closed their eyes, unable to resist such a strong light.
"Not good!" Tie Ruo Nan and others were in the main hall, Tie Bai Qi tried to stop it when he saw this, but the light river's formation was already complete and he could only reduce its impact by a little.
The grand light river was like a waterfall, crashing heavily on the bronze hall.
The roof of the hall was immediately broken through, and the light waterfall flew towards Fang Yuan.
"The light of glory of the immemorial era!" The land spirit cried out in shock.
Fang Yuan laughed loudly and poured his primeval essence into rank four bone wings Gu and rank five liquid metal Gu.
A pair of long and wide black wings spread out from his back, while the liquid metal covered his whole body like paint, spreading towards the black wings and dying his whole body with dazzling golden light.
"He, what is he doing?"
"Fang Yuan!"
In Tie Ruo Nan, Bai Ning Bing and the others' astonished gazes, Fang Yuan flapped his wings and flew directly towards the river of light!
Bam!
There was loud buzzing in his ears and the formidable impact forced Fang Yuan backwards.
However, he had killed many rank five Gu Masters before and obtained many movement Gu like golden aurora Gu and so on. Right now, he activated them all and flew against the flow of the waterfall, flying higher and higher.
When he flew out of the bronze hall, it immediately attracted countless gasps and doubts.
"What is that thing?"
"It is flashing with golden light and looks like a large bird!"
"No, that is a person, a warrior that has been soaked in molten gold!"
There was only a vast sea of whiteness in Fang Yuan's sight. His primeval essence was depleting rapidly by activating so many movement Gu and defensive Gu.
" Time and tide wait for no man , land spirit help me, divine travel Gu!"
Immortal Gu divine travel landed on his palm.
"Jade sky Gu!"
A ray of green light shot out from his aperture and landed on his hand, turning into a jade-green colored bamboo that was hollow in the middle.
"What in the world is he trying to do? He actually faced the killer move head-on and flew up!" Tie Ruo Nan stared with wide-opened eyes, expressing her shock.
"Did little beast king give up, and is trying to end his life?" Yan Jun's jaws were wide open as he looked up in a daze.
"Something's up, I understand him! Everything Fang Yuan does has extremely deep meaning! No matter what, we can't let him have his way, we must disrupt this!" Bai Ning Bing's tone was hurried and for some reason, the bad feeling in her heart continued to become stronger.
Tie Ruo Nan nodded and agreed with Bai Ning Bing's words.
"Four old-timers!" She shouted.
"Understood!" The four old-timers immediately moved separately towards east, south, west and north directions; they kneeled on the ground and held their right wrist with their left hand, their right hands were spread out in a claw form and faced each other.
Killer move — Infinite search and lock!
Almost at the same time, Fang Yuan's left arm shone with an eerie-blue light; one could vaguely see the fixed star Gu on it.
This Gu was a star fragment of the immemorial era, it was like an eight-sided diamond and was crystal clear!
At the same time, all around Fang Yuan, space tore apart and four chains appeared, moving like pythons.
"Finally reacting at this point? Hmph, too late!" Fang Yuan gave a cold smile.
Divine travel Gu suddenly flew and pierced into his left arm, swallowing the fixed star Gu.
The four old timers coughed out blood as they lost the connection with the fixed star Gu.
The four chains moving beside Fang Yuan also lost their target and flew about carelessly before they were destroyed by the river of light.
After the divine travel Gu ate fixed star Gu, it went into the hollow jade sky Gu and rapidly formed a cocoon.
"Huh? There is a strange person flying directly towards my killer move?!" Xiao Mang was indescribably shocked. Others often did not have enough time to dodge his killer move but now there was actually a fool who was facing it head-on!
"Who is this guy? What is he trying to do?" Yi Huo, Yi Chong and the others stared at the sky with stupefied looks.
"Wait a second, this scene, where did I see it before!" Li Xian frowned deeply, a ray of light flashed in his astute mind.
"How could this be, he seems to be… refining Gu?" Feng Tian Yu looked up for a while and after seeing somewhat clearly he immediately became shocked.
"He is actually refining Gu using the killer move, his courage knows no bounds!" Mo Wu Tian's eyes shot out purple light that extended two inches into the air.
That's right, Fang Yuan was refining Gu.
This was Fang Yuan's plan.
When he enslaved killer ghost doctor, it was certain the second aperture Gu's refinement would fail.
Because at the last step of merging with divine travel Gu, Fang Yuan was not able to accomplish it by just himself. Previously, he had the help of refinement path grandmaster Feng Tian Yu and the assistance of the land spirit, before he was able to barely finish it.
Now, he did not have Feng Tian Yu's help, thus this step was destined to fail!
However, after rebirth, Fang Yuan had never truly thought of refining second aperture Gu.
He deceived the land spirit and intentionally delayed time to create such a special situation to convince the land spirit and refine this Gu.
Similar to the second aperture Gu, this Gu was also an Immortal Gu whose recipe was recorded in chapter two section three of The Legends of Ren Zu!
The Legends of Ren Zu was the first classic of the Gu world!
It appeared to be a story when one first read it but it actually held profound messages, recording the secrets of the ancient times and all kinds of Gu. Some Gu were directly described like wisdom Gu, strength Gu and so on. While some Gu were hidden, their descriptions were very vague, requiring the readers to dig through it and study carefully.

Chapter 405: Spreading my wings and flying away today, becoming an immortal and whipping the phoenix on another day! (Double Chapter)
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
The light of glory of the immemorial era shone on the cocoon.
Absorbing the glory of the immemorial era, the cocoon was undergoing a mystical change.
Fang Yuan's body was shining in golden brilliance, swimming up against the flow of the torrential light stream. Facing the strong killer move of a rank five Gu Master, liquid metal Gu's defense was starting to become useless.
The golden protection was washed away by the light eventually.
Especially the bone wings, it slowly revealed its original black color after being washed by the torrential light stream.
In the grand waterfall of light, a lone body was flying with great difficulty while facing great pressure.
Such a mystical sight naturally attracted many Gu Master's attention.
The battlefield slowly turned silent.
Land spirit assisted Fang Yuan fully, after the dogs lost their master, they scattered. All the Gu Masters stood on the spot, raising their heads and watching.
In their hearts, they had one question — "This scenario, I have obviously not seen it before, yet why do I find it so familiar?"
"I remember, I remember now!" Suddenly, someone shouted: "This scene was recorded in the legends of Ren Zu, that's why it is so familiar!"
The Legends of Ren Zu, the number one classic in the world, spread throughout the world widely, no one was unfamiliar with it.
Getting such a reminder, many people realized at once.
"That's right, this was recorded in Ren Zu's second chapter, third section."
"I remember now, Verdant Great Sun flapped his wings and bathed in the light of glory in order to refine fixed immortal travel Gu, flying towards the sun."
People recalled, laughing immediately.
"What is this person doing? Copying Verdant Great Sun, and disregarding his life?"
"Haha, don't tell me he is thinking of refining fixed immortal travel Gu?"
"How is that possible! He has divine travel Gu?"
Of course Fang Yuan had it!
But divine travel Gu was not enough, it was recorded in The Legends of Ren Zu —
Verdant Great Sun was afraid that divine travel Gu would send him to dangerous places while he was drunk. Divine travel Gu was ashamed because of this, thus directing him: "Go up into the sky, and in the azure heaven among the nine heavens, there is a bamboo forest. Inside the bamboo forest, pluck a jade bamboo that is jade sky in color. Next, go to blue heaven and during the night time, collect the eight-sided diamonds inside the star fragments. Next, when it is dawn, fly into the sky and use the light of glory of the rising sun to turn me into fixed immortal travel Gu. Once I become that Gu, I will no longer send you to random places when you are drunk."
Thus, Fang Yuan needed the a jade sky colored jade bamboo from azure heaven, and an eight-sided diamond star fragment from blue heaven.
And also, the light of glory of the immemorial era.
Did he have these?
Not at first.
But after rebirth, he killed Long Qing Tian and obtained jade sky Gu.
This Gu was rank five and originated from the immemorial era. It was like a dark green bamboo stem, palm size and hollow in the middle, giving off a texture of jade on the surface.
This was the azure heaven's jade bamboo!
The Legends of Ren Zu described all sorts of Gu. Immortal Gu were described as they were, like wisdom Gu and strength Gu. Mortal Gu were written more obscurely, the readers needed to look into them and researched carefully.
But the jade sky bamboo was not enough, he needed the eight-sided diamond star fragment.
Did he have it?
Of course not, but Bai Ning Bing planted it on him!
Indeed, the fixed star Gu.
This Gu was a star fragment from the immemorial era, looking like a diamond with eight sides, it was planted on Fang Yuan's left forearm, giving off starlight, able to project a half-transparent eerie blue light from his arm.
So now he had the jade sky bamboo and the eight-sided diamond star fragment, but to refine fixed immortal travel Gu, Fang Yuan needed one final condition — that is what the land spirit mentioned — the light of glory of the immemorial era.
Did Fang Yuan have this?
From start to end, he had never obtained it.
But Xiao Mang had it.
Xiao Mang controlled an extreme light Gu, this Gu was obtained by robbing graves, it was an incomplete Gu. It could only be used three times every month to unleash the light of glory. Once it exceeded three times, it would self-detonate.
And torrential light stream was a killer move that, in some aspects, replicated the light of glory.
Divine travel Gu, jade sky Gu, fixed star Gu, as well as the light of the immemorial era, all the conditions were fulfilled!
When Fang Yuan rebirthed and realized this, he discarded the second aperture Gu in his heart, changing his objective to refining the fixed immortal travel Gu.
But it was impossible to convince the land spirit.
The land spirit's obsession was to refine second aperture Gu.
Thus, Bai Ning Bing, Tie Ruo Nan, and the righteous demonic factions became Fang Yuan's tools!
He calculated meticulously in his heart, controlling the flow of events as he swayed them in his favor, causing this result. When the land spirit realized that no matter what, the second aperture Gu would not be refined successfully, it would change its goal to protecting Fang Yuan, as that is the only way hope remains.
The cocoon absorbed the sunlight, trembling slightly as the aura of an Immortal Gu leaked out uncontrollably.
Everyone was flabbergasted.
"Such an aura, how is this possible?!" Tie Ruo Nan, Bai Ning Bing and the others were staring with their eyes popping out.
"He is refining Gu, he is really refining an Immortal Gu?! Who is he? Is he the reincarnation of Verdant Great Sun?" Yi Huo, Yi Chong, and the others were staring with their jaws dropping.
"Fixed immortal travel! Is he really refining fixed immortal travel Gu? To think that I, Feng Tian Yu, would get the see the birth of an Immortal Gu!" This refinement master kneeled on the ground emotionally, tears overflowing on his face.
In the blessed land, the few remaining hairy men all kneeled down.
This moment, they were idolizing this person refining an Immortal Gu!
Unbelievable.
An event of the immemorial era was unfolding before them…
An unimaginable grandness and beauty caused many Gu Masters' bodies to shook. Was it excitement, fear, or both?
At once, Fang Yuan's figure was the center of everyone's attention.
No matter how glaring the torrential light stream was, everyone's eyes were wide open, staring without blinking.
The Immortal Gu's aura became more intense, but at this crucial moment, something happened.
"Trying to use my power to refine an Immortal Gu? Hmph!" Xiao Mang was no fool, after realizing this, he immediately stopped his killer move.
The torrential light stream ended!
Everyone gasped loudly.
"NOOOO!" Feng Tian Yu screamed, his heart pained as he showed grief and despair.
In his vision, the torrential light stream was like a cut ribbon, flowing down weakly, with just three breath's time, the Gu Master in the light waterfall would be freed. Such a short time was not enough to birth an Immortal Gu.
But why would Fang Yuan not anticipate this?
Third watch Gu! Third watch Gu!
He activated two third watch Gu targeting the cocoon.
At once, time accelerated by nine times, as the Immortal Gu's aura surged!
"He used two time path Gu worms to accelerate time?" Feng Tian Yu got up like he was jolted with lightning, his eyes glowing as his face turned red, there was still hope?
But immediately, his red face turned pale, as Feng Tian Yu plopped on the ground with a dejected expression, crying: "It is useless, the acceleration is only a temporary measure, if the Immortal Gu is created too quickly, it will not be able to stabilize its aura, and will be destroyed through self-detonation…"
But was Fang Yuan ignorant about this?
He took out a Gu worm.
This Gu had an plain appearance, like a grey stone disc.
In his previous life, he obtained it from Feng Tian Yu, this time, he got it from killer ghost doctor Chou Jiu.
What Gu?
Undefeated hundred battles!
Undefeated hundred battles Gu!, rank five expenditure Gu, once used, it allowed a Gu Master's refinement to succeed for sure!
The next moment, Feng Tian Yu was stunned, grabbing his head and screaming in great joy: "How can this be!"
Because he felt the Immortal Gu's aura stabilizing like a miracle!
The cocoon broke open, and a green butterfly flew out — fixed immortal travel Gu!
"It truly is an Immortal Gu!"
"Beautiful beyond words…"
"Who in the world is he, he actually refined an Immortal Gu?!"
At once, everyone's hearts were pounding, regardless of whether they were aware or unaware of the circumstances, they were speechless and shocked to their limits.
Xiao Mang was stupefied, Mo Wu Tian was in a daze.
"Is this the re-enactment of a legend?"
"What era am I living in?!"
Fang Yuan flew out of the light waterfall, as fixed immortal travel Gu flew around him. Each time it flapped its wings, green light flickered like pollen, it was a beautiful sight.
Of course, Fang Yuan paid a huge price.
A rank five killer move was not a joke, liquid metal Gu died, golden aurora Gu and the others were greatly damaged. The black wings on his back were torn and tattered.
As the liquid metal faded, Fang Yuan's identity was revealed.
At once, a commotion burst out.
"Who is he?" Mo Wu Tian's pupils shrunk.
"It, it's him, little beast king!" Hu Mei Er and Li Xian were shocked.
"It's him!" Yi Huo's eyes were popping out.
"It is actually him?!" Jiao Huang and Meng Tu looked at each other, trembling, feeling each other's shock, after-fear, and joy. They had the guts to assassinate such a strong foe? A man who can refine an Immortal Gu?!
"Fang Yuan…" Bai Ning Bing, Tie Ruo Nan and the others who knew the situation witnessed this miracle with their own eyes, watching like a still statue.
Hundreds of thousands of years ago, during the immemorial era, Verdant Great Sun flapped his wings, refining an fixed immortal travel Gu.
But now, Fang Yuan was doing the same, using his mortal body to accomplish such a grand feat under everyone's observation.
Once this matter spread, his name would be renowned throughout the continent, shocking the whole southern border.
"You really succeeded in refining fixed immortal travel Gu, incredible! As expected of a future Gu Immortal." Fang Yuan could hear land spirit's praise and sigh.
Fang Yuan laughed heartily: "Fixed immortal travel Gu can allow a Gu Master to roam the world, going anywhere he wanted. But it is still an Immortal Gu, your help is needed, to activate it using immortal essence."
Ba Gui: "Of course. There is still some immortal essence left in the cauldron, recall in your mind where you want to go, you should choose a safe place. Remember, the image in your head has to be the same as the real place, there cannot be too big of a difference."
"I understand that."
Ba Gui sighed, speaking wholeheartedly: "Using the fixed immortal travel would allow you to escape this predicament, but without immortal essence, the blessed land will be destroyed immediately. Death is a relief for me. I just wish you would succeed in refining second aperture Gu in the future, and do not waste this opportunity. Before we part, do you have anything to say to me?"
Fang Yuan opened his mouth, but no words came out.
He moved his tattered black wings, flying in the sky and looking around.
The torn bronze hall, the mound battlefield overflowing with blood, and the ruined Gu Immortal blessed land…
Goodbye, Bai Ning Bing.
Goodbye, Tie Ruo Nan.
Goodbye, Southern Border.
The land spirit did not know that Fang Yuan was about to take a an even greater risk. But life was a gamble, if one did not gamble when they had the chance, when would they succeed?
If man did not have aspirations as grand as heaven, they would be letting down their eight feet body! 1
Thinking like this, Fang Yuan felt great ambition and aspiration, his heart boiling with anticipation. Standing before everyone, he felt an urge and expressed it as a poem.
The people present heard him recite —
Since ancient times land immortal pass with the wind, today three kings return to eternal slumber.
Who would not experience failure? Verdant Sun died regretfully. Start over again and proclaim oneself as King.
The carp swims up the heavenly waterfall, travelling alone in the desolate lands and defying heaven.
Spreading my wings and flying away today, becoming an immortal and whipping the phoenix on another day!
As he said so, Fang Yuan laughed loudly.
Everyone was speechless.
Only the land spirit shouted: "Grand aspirations, I will send you on your journey!"
Immortal essence entered the fixed immortal travel Gu, and jade light flashed, as Fang Yuan vanished from the air.
Only his clothes were left, floating in the air like a kite with its strings cut.
"He vanished!"
"He used the fixed immortal travel Gu, I wonder where he went."
"Ah! Why is heaven and earth shaking?"
Everyone was stunned.
At this time, intense winds blew as mountains broke, the world was collapsing. Loopholes after loopholes were formed, connecting to the outside world.
"Damn it, escape quickly."
"The blessed land is collapsing, the winds of assimilation is coming!"
"If we do not escape now, we will die, I do not want to die!"
The experts were frightened and shocked, frantically escaping as San Cha mountain went into chaos once again.
Central Continent, Tian Ti mountain.
In Hu Immortal blessed land, on Dang Hun mountain, the battle for Hu Immortal blessed land was reaching its end.
"Fang Zheng, hang in there, victory is within reach!" Lord Sky Crane encouraged.
The skin on Fang Zheng's arms and legs were torn, as blood flowed down.
He surpassed Ying Sheng Ji, Xiao Qi Xing, his body was numb from pain, and his brain was unable to think, there was only Dang Hun mountain left in his mind.
Being the first to ascend, he only had one thought left in his mind.
"I am the great Feng Jin Huang, how can I lose here? I have never lost since I was born, this time is no exception! Come out, dream wings!"
Feng Jin Huang shouted, and a beautiful pair of wings grew from her shoulders.
This pair of wings was extremely elegant and beautiful, all sorts of lights shone on it, it was dazzling and alluring, with just one flap, Feng Jin Huang ascended easily.
"What?"
"This is…"
"The legendary Immortal Gu — Dream Wings!"
The nine Gu Immortals were shocked.
Most Immortal Gu could only be used with immortal essence. But dreams wings were different, it used the Gu Master's spirit and soul instead.
Feng Jin Huang was only a mortal, activating the dream wings forcefully would cause severe damage to her soul, amnesia at best, becoming retarded at worst.
But Feng Jin Huang was competitive, she wanted victory, willing to pay any price!
Under Fang Zheng, stunned gaze, she overtook him, taking back her head.
The dream wings were folded back as Feng Jin Huang stood at the side of the cliff, breathing heavily, she felt a strong dizziness from the depths of her soul, almost causing her to faint.
She reached her limits.
Forcefully activating an Immortal Gu, it was not easy for Feng Jin Huang to reach this step.
"I actually lost!" Fang Zheng stared with wide opened eyes, dejected and upset.
Feng Jin Huang's arms were already at the edge of the peak, she was one step away!
"I, I am about… to win!"
At this moment, Feng Jin Huang forced herself to raise her head, using the last bit of strength she had.
Her eyes were glowing like amber, her beautiful appearance and her snow-white long neck, was shining like jade in the blessed land's pink light.
She was like a young phoenix, expanding its wings for the first time.
Brilliant and glorious!
At once, even Gu Immortals were dazed.
Fang Zheng raised his head to look at her, as Hu Immortal land spirit stared at her in a daze, everyone was waiting for Feng Jin Huang's victory.
Feng Jin Huang did not let everyone down, she bit her lips, placing her arms at the edge of the cliff.
Next, she used her remaining strength to drag her body up as well. But at this moment!
Swoosh!
Jade light flashed, and a man appeared on the mountain peak.
This man was completely naked, his left forearm had a hole as blood flowed out of it. His youthful body, was strong and muscular, giving off the aura of a veteran expert who had undergone countless battles.
"Brother?!" Fang Zheng was shocked, slipping and falling down the cliff.
The ten Gu Immortals were shocked. Who, who is this naked man?!
Feng Jin Huang raised her snow-white neck, looking at Fang Yuan from his feet, stunned and watching with her eyes wide open like a statue.
Fang Yuan's body was muscular, the giant monster on his lower body entered Feng Jin Huang's vision without any doubt.
"I really came here? Tsk, fixed immortal travel Gu has such a weakness, it cannot transport clothes along with me. But thankfully, I placed my Gu worms inside my aperture, and brought them along.
Fang Yuan looked around, realizing his situation.
"Eh? Isn't this person below me Feng Jin Huang?"
It seems Biography of Feng Jin Huang gave an accurate time. He was a step before her, this competition did not ban Immortal Gu worms, according to the rules, he was Hu Immortal blessed land's owner!
"I succeeded, all my risks paid off. So what if I failed to refine second aperture Gu? Now I have something better, the entire Hu Immortal blessed land, and fixed immortal travel Gu! Hahahahaha…" Fang Yuan laughed crazily in his heart.
"Unfortunately, she has the Immortal Gu dream wings, I can't kill her yet." Fang Yuan looked at Feng Jin Huang regretfully, before raising his right foot.
Under the ten Gu Immortal's supervision, his right foot landed on Feng Jin Huang's face, as a jade-like feeling could be felt on his feet.
"Scram." Fang Yuan pushed, and kicked the weak and dazed Feng Jin Huang down.
Feng Jin Huang was already out of strength, how could she resist Fang Yuan's kick, she immediately descended.
Fang Yuan turned around, facing the land spirit.
"Little Hu Immortal, aren't you calling me you master?"
"Ma… master…" The little girl stared at Fang Yuan, shocked.
After she reacted, she used her small tender hands to cover her large crystal clear eyes.
Next, she lowered her head, her face red with shame, as she stomped her foot, shaking her head, saying meekly: "Master, aren't you shameful, you are so old already, quickly wear some clothes!"

Chapter 406: Feng Jiu Ge
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
Nine days later.
Atop of a lush green mountain valley, a small waterfall flowed downwards like a strip of silvery silk.
The waterfall's stream flowed into an ancient lake. The ancient lake was deep and dark jade in color, with ripples on the surface of the water.
In the pond, all kinds of carp were swimming about.
On the top of a white rock beside the water, Feng Jin Huang sat with her eyes closed.
Her face, bright and beautiful, was reflected in the water, causing this ancient lake to gain a brilliant elegance. The colorful carps in the water, the clear pool water, the silvery waterfall, and the green valley all complimented each other.
However, Feng Jin Huang's pretty brows were deeply scrunched.
Although she has tried her best to calm down, every time she closed her eyes for more than thirty breaths, an image flashed in her mind from the depths of her heart.
On an illustrious pink crystal mountain peak, a naked man looked down at her with his black eerie pupils.
She was sprawling on the edge of the cliff, and when she looked up, she saw everything on the man's body.
His bleeding left arm with a bloody hole, his strong muscles, his broad chest, and the massive thing between his legs… the image was engraved into her heart.
The memory was so vivid that the events of that day could never be forgotten by this proud woman.
Especially since afterwards, the man stretched out his right foot and stepped on her face!
Feng Jin Huang wanted to forget the feeling of being trampled on her face, yet the feeling was so vivid that she could clearly recall it even now.
"Forget it, Forget him! Keep a peace of mind, peace, peace of mind, calm down…" Feng Jin Huang breathed more and more rapidly.
Her breathing became heavier, and her chest moved rapidly as a result, and was becoming faster.
In her heart, shame, humiliation, and hatred mixed together, turning into a volcano.
"How dare he? He dared to do that to me! Ahhh!" Feng Jin Huang could not bear it anymore, and suddenly opened her phoenix eyes and stood up abruptly, raising her head and screaming.
Boom!
The volcano in her heart erupted, filling her chest with anger, almost melting her entire body!
"You are a despicable and shameless man, you dared to step on my face. I want to tear you to pieces!" Feng Jin Huang roared, her eyes glowing with fire as she punched randomly.
Bam Bam Bam Bam…
The loud smashing sound, like the sound of thunder, erupted continuously.
Feng Jin Huang's eyes exuded fire, the beautiful flames evaporated the ancient lake and burnt the green hills around her. She punched without a target, as her frenzied barrage sent the surrounding mountain rocks flying, as the ground cracked!
After almost a few short breaths, Feng Jin Huang completely decimated the valley. Such terrifying battle strength, even if ten Fang Yuan attacked together, he could not reach such a power level.
"Ahhhhhhh!"
"This scoundrel!!!"
"I want rend your flesh, limb by limb! I want to step on your bones and crush them into pieces! I'll make you suffer for seven days and seven nights!"
"I swear, I'll make you to suffer endless pain, I want you to die and regret everything you have done to me. Then, I'll turn you into ashes and scatter you into the wind!"
Feng Jin Huang bellowed without stopping, the anger in her chest making her lose all rationality.
A few hundred miles away, there were grass cottages built on a mountain peak.
Through the window of the cottage, a pair of beautiful eyes stared at Feng Jin Huang, looking worried.
"Oh, my little Feng Er…" Inside the cottage, a beauty was dressed in white silk adorned with a green belt. She was dignified and elegant, bearing a resemblance to Feng Jin Huang.
She was the biological mother of Feng Jin Huang, Fairy Bai Qing, a rank six Gu Immortal!
"Stop looking. You have already watched her for seven or eight times the during the last ten minutes. The jade sea tide tea that I carefully brewed for you is getting cold by now, go sit down and drink it." Feng Jiu Ge sat by her side, helplessly saying.
"Drink, drink, drink, all you care about is drinking tea. Is Feng Jin Huang even your daughter? As her father, aren't you worried at all?" Bai Qing turned around, her brows were wrinkled and her tone was resentful.
"Sigh! Our daughter, Feng Er, had always been competitive since she was a child. Her talent was excellent, and no one was her match in her sect, but suddenly she stumbled and lost. Hu Immortal Inheritance was the first failure of her life, but it is also the most important. You are her father, but you're actually still in the mood to drink tea here?"
"Nevermind the failure, what's more important is, Feng-Er suffered such a huge loss! She actually got trampled by someone! Think about it, Feng Er is proud and had never paid attention to any man her age. Yet she was beaten in such a way, with someone's foot on her face, and for the first time, saw a similar aged man's body. This, this…"
The more Fairy Bai Qing talked, the more anxious she grew, and her eyes slowly turned red.
Feng Jiu Ge looked at her and immediately got up, getting to her side, holding her in his arms. He frantically comforted her: "Don't cry, don't cry my Qing Er. Isn't your husband still here? In fact, in my opinion, this event was not without benefits."
"Oh? What good is there?" Bai Qing casted a doubtful gaze at him.
"Sigh, Feng Er is our pride and joy, I'm proud of her yet also worried. She's too competitive and always wants to get first place. Yes, her talent is higher than mine, and she also has great comprehension abilities, but so what if her talent is higher, is it higher than all the heroes in the world? No matter how good her talent is, can it compare to Desolate Ancient Moon?" Feng Jiu explained in earnest.
"The great Desolate Ancient Moon, daughter of Ren Zu, failed countless times. Feng Er had always experienced success and victory but had never understood the taste of failure. This is one of her defects, and also her weakness."
"Qing Er, you are a rank six Gu Immortal, and I am a rank seven Gu Immortal, but even if it was a rank nine Immortal Venerable or Demon Venerable, they can only live long, but not forever. We are able to protect Feng Er now, but one day we will leave her. By that time, she will only be able to rely on herself. Experiencing this failure will help her mature."
"Birds leave the nest and fly alone. After they withstand setbacks, they can train their wings and fight in the sky. In the future, when Feng Er leaves us, we can be relieved."
"Feng Er is my baby, I would love nothing more than to protect her inside the blessed land forever…" Fairy Bai Qing leaned on Feng Jiu Ge's chest as she wiped her tears.
She sighed and said: "Sigh, you are right, Feng Er will leave us one day, we should let her train more. But this is too much, she had lost too much this time. Hu Immortal Inheritance was lost, she was even bullied by that Immortal Crane Sect lad, are you as her father not going to do anything about it?"
"Hmph." Feng Jiu snorted, squinting as his eyes shone with a cold light: "Immortal Crane Sect went too far indeed, even though they had promised to compensate us and the other eight major sects. But Feng Er is my daughter, how she can experience such bullying? I have already written a letter and it has been sent to them. If this He Feng Yang does not know what's good for him, I will go to their sect to find him and settle the score!"
Fairy Bai Qing's heart eased, it turns out that her husband had already acted. But immediately, Bai Qing was nervous and looked at her husband: "Husband, don't be rash, don't make a huge commotion. Back when you attacked the top ten sects, Immortal Crane Sect was also one of the victims. They know that you're the strongest, but don't do this kind of thing again."
"I know, I know. Haha, you can be at ease." Feng Jiu Ge calmed his wife lying in his arms, his eyes subconsciously squinting as he snorted in his heart: "Out of the top ten sects in central continent now, none are worthy of facing off against me."
South of the Central Continent, thirty thousand feet above the mountains.
In the sky, Fei He mountain was floating among a sea of clouds, looking magnificent and grand.
Trees were swaying on the mountain as ten thousand cranes flew by, giving off a living atmosphere of an Immortal's residence.
Currently, in Shang Qing pavilion at the top of the mountain, it was a heavy and grim atmosphere.
"Feng Jiu Ge has gone too far!" The supreme first elder was staring furiously, his hands clutching a thin letter as he trembled with anger.
With a bang, he slammed the letter on the white jade stone table.
In the letter, Feng Jie Ge listed several overbearing demands. But despite so, supreme first elder did not dare to destroy or burn this letter.
This letter was shining with an azure green color, it was the transformation of the rank five letter sending green bird Gu. Once destroyed, Feng Jiu Ge would sense it, if he became furious, the situation would become troublesome.
This guy, Feng Jiu Ge, was born into the demonic path. In the past, he obtained a rare opportunity and cultivated painstakingly, soundlessly reaching rank six Gu Immortal realm. Once he came out, he amazed the world as he challenged all the heroes in the world, and no one could stop him. The ten sects sent people to challenge him, but they all lost terribly, forced to join forces to resist him.
Feng Jiu Ge, was not afraid, fighting as he travelled for over ten million miles, suddenly changing his tactic and going for the yellow dragon, causing the ten sects to lose miserably. The scene was total chaos and there was nothing anyone could do.
Fortunately, Fairy Bai Qing from Spirit Affinity House moved him with true love, finally reforming this demonic head.
"Back in the day, Feng Jiu Ge used his rank six cultivation and caused a commotion among the ten sects, it was unimaginable. Now, he has rank seven cultivation and has Spirit Affinity House, one of the ten sects backing him. This person has the demeanour of a heavenly immortal, although his requests are slightly overbearing, we can agree to it." Supreme second elder took out the letter, reading it and said with a calm tone.
"He Feng Yang, how can there be such a huge mistake in this matter you were in charge of? That Fang Yuan is not our disciple at all, what motives do you have, defending him like this?" A thunderous voice echoed in Shang Qing pavilion, causing the windows to vibrate.
The person speaking was Lei Tan, rank six Gu Immortal, and was at loggerheads with He Feng Yang.
Places with people have conflict, Immortal Crane Sect also has their conflicts and competition among factions.
At once, all the gazes fell on He Feng Yang.
He Feng Yang was like a young man, gentle like jade. A pair of jade colored brows extended to his waist.
His expression was calm, looking around slowly, then laughed and said: "This Fang Yuan is indeed not our disciple, but his brother Fang Zheng is one of us, the leader of the elite disciples of this generation."
Lei Tan snickered: "A tiny elite disciple's relative, he is worth our backing, the entire Immortal Crane Sect?! He Feng Yang, do you know how much compensation we will have to give to the nine sects for this Fang Yuan?"
"Of course I know." He Feng Yang glanced at Lei Tan, laughing in disdain: "But these things, even if you multiply it by three, can't compare to a Hu Immortal blessed land. Not to mention a fixed immortal travel Gu?"
At once, many of the supreme elders understood.
"He Feng Yang! What are you trying to say?" Lei Tan frowned, asking impatiently.

Chapter 407: Immortal Crane Sect's objective
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
He Feng Yang only smiled without replying Lei Tan's question.
It was supreme third elder who laughed and replied: "I understand Elder Feng Yang's intention. If we didn't choose to shield this Fang Yuan, Hu Immortal blessed land would still be up for grabs for the ten sects. However, by admitting that Fang Yuan is a member of our Immortal Crane Sect, we have eliminated the other nine opponents, letting only our Immortal Crane Sect seize control of this blessed land."
Lei Tan's gaze flickered and his expression slightly changed, but he no longer asked any questions.
At this moment, He Feng Yang stood up from his seat.
He first cupped his fists towards supreme third elder who explaining the reason: "Third elder is wise! Things happened too suddenly, who could have thought a mortal would use the Immortal Gu fixed immortal travel to appear the peak of Dang Hun mountain and inherit Hu Immortal blessed land in front of everyone."
"This Hu Immortal inheritance is at Tian Ti mountain. Everyone might know Tian Ti mountain is the stairs that connects to the heavenly court. Even though it was destroyed and had been abandoned for many years, it still represents the might of the heavenly court. In a way, attacking Hu Immortal blessed land is attacking Tian Ti mountain; and attacking Tian Ti mountain is attacking the heavenly court."
"Thus, although there are many blessed lands on Tian Ti mountain, there has never been anyone who had the courage to attack it. Even this time, we waited for Hu Immortal blessed land to open before we ten Gu Immortals joined forces to enlarge the passage, with no intention of attacking."
"Even if we really attacked Hu Immortal blessed land, the blessed land has a land spirit which would require at least three rank six Gu Immortals to join hands and even then they might not succeed. Moreover, the control area of the blessed land is being protected by Dang Hun mountain. Without five or six Gu Immortals cooperating earnestly, who would dare to say they can climb to the peak? Lei Tan, can you?"
Lei Tan snorted, he wanted to retort but kept quiet in the end.
In blessed lands, the land spirit could freely mobilize all the resources and their battle prowess could be compared to a Gu Immortal. The most important thing was that the land spirit could suppress rank one to rank five Gu worms.
If a Gu Immortal wanted to attack the blessed land, their most powerful weapon would be Immortal Gu because land spirits could not restrict Immortal Gu.
However, Immortal Gu were hard to find and many Gu Immortals did not even have one Immortal Gu. Even if they had, it might not necessarily be suited to attack.
This was the classic situation of low offense but high defense.
If they were set on attacking the blessed land, it would often require the cooperation of several Gu Immortals to create a numerical advantage, and then competing through the expenditure of immortal essence. Once the blessed land's immortal essence was exhausted, they could start their attack.
However in truth, unless it was some special situation, Gu Immortals rarely attacked blessed lands.
Because it was really not worth it.
Not only was immortal essence precious and hard to accumulate, there was also the danger of the blessed land self-destructing.
In the case where the land spirit could not defend and chose to destroy the blessed land, the winds of assimilation would blow over and destroy everything, causing the attackers to have no gains.
When Gu Immortals attacked blessed lands, they would often gain nothing and instead suffer heavy losses. Unless it was a matter of deep hatred, nobody would agree to do such a transaction that only created loss.
Seeing that Lei Tan was keeping quiet, He Feng Yang continued: "That Fang Yuan ascended to the peak and got the inheritance, immediately commanding the land spirit to close the blessed land. Fang Yuan and Fang Zheng looks almost the same, the Gu Immortals of the other nine sects realized this and subconsciously thought this was our Immortal Crane Sect's hidden move and questioned me one after another. At that time, I thought that if I were to say the truth, the Hu Immortal Inheritance's belonging would be undecided once again as the ten sects would still compete and fight over it. Thus, I acknowledged it, and even if we had to pay such a price for it, we have eliminated the other nine great sects from the competition. Like this, we can secretly strategize about Hu Immortal blessed land without worrying about other forces."
He Feng Yang explained the whole story, Lei Tan snorted and asked: "There is a big problem in this plan! Hu Immortal blessed land is on Tian Ti mountain and is also closed now, without attacking and creating a loophole, how can we enter?"
He Feng Yang laughed, it seems he already predicted this: "How could I not have any plans? Blessed lands face calamities and tribulations; Hu Immortal died during the fifth earthly calamity. I have already calculated the time, Hu Immortal blessed land will face the sixth earthly calamity in a year and three months' time. Fang Yuan is only a mortal, how could he know how to resist the earthly calamity? Even with the help of the land spirit, without a sect's support, the blessed land will suffer heavy damage at that time and a loophole will appear."
Lei Tan scoffed: "Even if there is a loophole, do you dare to attack? Didn't you say just before that Hu Immortal inheritance is on Tian Ti mountain!"
He Feng Yang instantly replied: "Forcefully attacking is a terrible move and we will only use it if all else fails. That Fang Yuan is only a mortal, as long as a loophole appears and we use some plans and schemes, is there a worry of failing to capture him? Hehe, once the earth calamity passes, he will definitely start worrying and thirst for external help. I have already planned it, first we use Fang Zheng and use the kinship to move and persuade him into cooperating for some transactions. As we make more transactions, his guard against us will naturally loosen, and using logic to persuade him, we might just convince him to join Immortal Crane Sect!"
"If he keeps on being stubborn, we can use some secret methods. Slavery Gu is one good method. There aren't many ways to deal with the land spirit, but there are plenty of ways to deal with a mortal like him. If we can obtain fixed immortal travel Gu like this, then it is no doubt the perfect outcome."
The elders present felt a rush of excitement at the mention of fixed immortal travel Gu. Many began to whisper and discuss with each other; the outcome He Feng Yang portrayed was truly beautiful. Most importantly, his plan had a chance of success.
Lei Tan could feel the change in the atmosphere as he sat down in anger: "You speak nice words, let's hope it goes our way."
Supreme third elder mumbled: "Besides special Gu like dream wings Gu that needs to be activated using the soul, most of the other Immortal Gu need immortal essence to activate, and this fixed immortal travel Gu is not an exception. This Fang Yuan has fixed immortal travel Gu and with the help of land spirit to use the blessed land's immortal essence, he can escape any time he wishes. We need to be very careful to deal with him. Furthermore, there is one point to note, he is but a mortal yet he possesses an Immortal Gu, he should have a rather deep background."
He Feng Yang nodded: "Junior has already thought of this point. Back then, when I claimed Fang Yuan was our sect's disciple, I checked the reactions of the other nine sects. It seems that not one of the Central Continent's nine sects are behind him. I am guessing, since Fang Yuan came from Southern Border, he is very likely to have a super clan of Southern Border behind him. But be it Wu clan, Shang clan, Tie clan, Yi clan or other super clans, they are all situated far at Southern Border and cannot help him here. If they were to enter Central Continent, their battle strength would be suppressed. Our Immortal Crane Sect is one of the ten great sects of Central Continent, we have a huge chance of winning against them."
All the elders nodded at these words and started another round of soft discussions.
"Indeed, a mighty dragon cannot suppress the local snake."
"Central continent is our Immortal Crane Sect's territory!"
"If they were to make a move, hmph."
"Even if their battle prowess was not suppressed, our Immortal Crane Sect is still stronger than any super groups of the four other regions by a mile."
Third elder's furrowed brows relaxed: "There is one doubt remaining. To use fixed immortal travel Gu, the user needs to have a vivid memory and clear understanding of the terrain he teleports to. Fang Yuan is only a mortal from the far away Southern Border, how could he know the scenery in Hu Immortal blessed land? And how could his timing be so precise? Could it be, Hu Immortal had once set an inheritance in Southern Border? Or it could be one of the tricks of Tian Ti mountain's demonic path Gu Immortals?"
He Feng Yang bowed: "Junior is also not clear about this. This matter is strange, originally, there was only a clue about the blood sea inheritance. At that time, one of our sect disciples defected and fled to Southern Border. A few years ago, I sent Lord Sky Crane to Southern Border to clean up and trash and bring back the inheritance. But Lord Sky Crane failed and instead it was Fang Yuan who obtained the inheritance, gaining blood skull Gu. This kid is very ruthless and sinister, unexpectedly killing all his clansmen on the spot and used blood skull Gu to raise his aptitude. Lord Sky Crane was unresigned and brought back Fang Zheng for future plans to retrieve the Gu.
He Feng Yang naturally had never have expected a nobody to so outrageously disrupt his plan back then, causing such a huge problem for him.
This was a weird feeling.
It was as if person was walking on the road, when suddenly a small ant jumped on their nose and started scratching it.
Where did this ant come from? Such guts!
The person could just crush it with their finger but because of the peculiar situation, they were not able to catch the ant and could only let this ant feel triumphant for the time being.
"Not this blood sea inheritance again…" Hearing He Feng Yang narrate the whole story, the elders present frowned, their heart turned irritated.
Blood Sea inheritance came from a big shot of the demonic path, Blood Sea Ancestor.
He killed people like cutting grass and his infamy had gone down in history. With the might of a rank seven Gu Immortal, he had unexpectedly set up hundreds of thousands of inheritance sites that spread over Central Continent, Southern Border, Northern Plains, Western Desert and Eastern Sea.
Before his death, he had laughed and proclaimed: "Blood path is not lonely, my mark will remain for all eternity!
Now, just like he proclaimed, countless mortals had benefitted. Blood sea inheritance was already proclaimed as the most popular inheritance with the greatest number in the world. There was no competition! Countless righteous path figures were getting headaches because of it.
"Didn't that Xue Tu who was only a butcher, become a famous demonic cultivator after obtaining blood sea inheritance?"
"Years ago, Myriad Dragon Dock's Song Zi Xing obtained one of the true blood sea inheritances and defected his sect, causing great humiliation to our ten great sects. Now, he is already a rank seven Gu Immortal with the title 'Blood Dragon'. To kill this defector and wipe away their humiliation, Myriad Dragon Dock dispatched eight Gu Immortals – five rank six and three rank seven. The result was he killed four of them, crippled three of them and beat one into retreating!"
"It is said that Blood Sea has nine true inheritances. They are: blood skull Gu, blood handprint Gu, blood qi Gu, blood sweat Gu, menses blood Gu, blood shadow Gu, blood battle Gu, as well as the ancient desolate beast violent blood dragon bat and finally, the rank six Immortal Gu blood deity. He was truly someone who achieved great success in blood path…"
"Speaking of which, four true inheritances of the Blood Sea Ancestor had already shown up. One is blood skull Gu which is with Fang Yuan. Another is blood handprint Gu which is with Southern Border's current Shang clan leader. Violent blood dragon bat is with Song Zi Xing."
"It is said that Shang clan leader has already obtained the second blood sea inheritance…"
"That is only an unconfirmed rumor, there is no evidence to conclude it."
The elders whispered to one another.
"Alright, there is no need to talk about blood sea true inheritance. It is like searching for a needle in a haystack, all kinds of rumors are increasing day by day. My ears are already getting callus from hearing them." Supreme Grand Elder waved his hand and immediately put a stop to the discussion.
He turned his gaze towards He Feng Yang: "Elder He Feng Yang, since you brought up this method, then you shall be in charge of it. If you are able to seize the blessed land and establish your merit, the sect will not be stingy in rewarding you."
"Junior understands!" He Feng Yang accepted the order with a smile.
Seeing He Feng Yang gain such a lucrative task, Lei Tan felt stifled, but since it was Supreme Grand Elder who said so, he could only hide his hatred inside.
However, Supreme Grand Elder added: "Since you are in charge of it, then Elder Feng Yang, you should hand over your one's own way Gu, right? In Feng Jiu Ge's demand, he had asked for an Immortal Gu. You are the person in charge of this matter, so you should be the one to settle this."
Lei Tan was immediately joyous.
He Feng Yang could only accept the order with a bitter smile.

Chapter 408: Fang Yuan regains consciousness
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
Fang Yuan slowly opened his eyes.
All he saw before him was a blur pink color, as his vision gradually returned, he saw a thin silk curtain.
A light wind blew, the chimes rang, the light pink curtain slowly swayed, making it feel like a dream or illusion.
Fang Yuan slowly got up from his bed.
This round bed was extremely large, forty to fifty people could fit on it.
A silk blanket that was red on the bottom with golden rims was covering his body.
Fang Yuan looked around and found himself in a large bedroom.
There was a stove beside the bed, burning some incense. There was a fragrance that arouses people's feelings in the air.
This room was made with golden brick walls, silver bricks were used on the ground. Beside the bed, the corners of the room, tables and chairs, dressing table, all of them had large amounts of pearls, agate, diamonds and all sorts of precious gems.
The room was grand and elegant, luxurious and glorious, the affluence of the previous owner was emanating in the room.
This was Hu Immortal's Dang Hun Palace.
"It is a gentle home." Fang Yuan commented lightly, getting down from his bed.
His body shook uncontrollably, as his brain was still dizzy.
Fang Yuan did not find it strange, instead he understood clearly — this was because he had forced himself too much back on San Cha mountain.
Bai Ning Bing's betrayal, the pressure from the two factions, and he even had to scheme against the land spirit. First refining second aperture, then refine the fixed immortal travel Gu in the torrential light stream. The entire process was accompanied by the mental pressure of taking a risky gamble. To Fang Yuan, be it his body or mind, they had reached their limits.
When he used the fixed immortal travel Gu to arrive at Dang Hun Mountain, Feng Jin Huang and Fang Zheng were at their limits, but so was he.
Compared to them, Fang Yuan's mental pressure was greater. Spring Autumn Cicada could no longer be used, and he had snatched the Hu Immortal Inheritance right in front of the ten sects' Gu Immortals, he was trying to pull the teeth out of a tiger , like playing with fire, it was an extremely dangerous move!
Fang Yuan was the first to ascend the mountain, and the land spirit chased the other competitors away. After Fang Yuan officially became the blessed land's owner, he ordered the land spirit to close the entire blessed land.
After instructing the land spirit with a few key points, Fang Yuan relaxed at a safe area, falling asleep instantly.
"Just how long did I sleep…" Fang Yuan shook his head, he still felt extremely tired, there was a sense of weakness coming from his soul.
At the same time, his ears were buzzing, as his brain could not think as quickly as normal. It was difficult to process questions in his head.
"Oh no, I injured my soul." Fang Yuan's heart sank, sensing his condition was not looking good.
The main reason was became of the Immortal Gu refinement.
Were Immortal Gu so easily to refine? Many Gu Immortals would suffer a backlash when making a mistake while attempting to do so, injured at best, death at worst.
Fang Yuan used a mortal's body to refine an Immortal Gu. The main reason was because the recipe was good, originating from Ren Zu's tales. Secondly, the materials used were appropriate, focused on the divine travel Gu, looking from another angle, it was simply converting divine travel Gu into fixed immortal travel Gu.
It was not like in Fang Yuan's previous life, where he used a large number of mortal Gu to refine the Immortal Gu Spring Autumn Cicada. Turning from mortal to immortal, the difficulty was a hundred fold.
"Even so, the foundation of my soul was too weak and got injured. But thankfully, this is Dang Hun mountain…" Thinking so, Fang Yuan's expression turned solemn, as he said lightly: "Where is the land spirit?"
Swoosh, Hu Immortal land spirit appeared before him.
"Master, you are finally awake." Hu Immortal lowered her head, her face was red as she looked at her feet, speaking in a meek tone.
She had the appearance of a five to six year old girl, she was cute and young. With a colorful dress, and a snow-white fox tail behind her, swaying to express her unease.
"Master, when you were sleeping, I acted on my own accord and healed the injury on your left arm. I wanted to bring you clothes but what we have here are not your size." Hu Immortal land spirit reported.
The clothes she mentioned was Hu Immortal's clothing, they were women's clothing, of course Fang Yuan could not fit in them.
Fang Yuan frowned: "Clothing is not important, how long have I slept? During this period, did any strong enemies attack the blessed land?"
Hu Immortal's eyes were large and shining, blinking: "Master, during the seven days you were asleep, nobody attacked."
"Oh?" Fang Yuan's eyes shone.
He did not know that Immortal Crane Sect's He Feng Yang defended him, blocking the assault of the other nine sects.
But he understood somewhat why no Gu Immortals attacked the blessed land.
Hu Immortal blessed land was not like the three kings blessed land on San Cha mountain.
This blessed land was still very young, it had a land spirit and ample immortal essence storage, and even Dang Hun mountain as the core protection of the blessed land.
These three elements made Hu Immortal blessed land as secure as a fortress, most Gu Immortals had no way to force their way in.
How hard was it to attack this blessed land, Fang Yuan knew most clearly!
Five hundred years into his past life, he allied with almost ten demonic Gu Immortals, invading this place. Eventually, he had a narrow victory, only he and Song Zhong were left.
Song Zhong was the son of Song Zi Xing, a rising star of the demonic path, he has not been born yet.
"Back then, I was already a senior of the demonic path. Song Zhong inherited his father's inheritance, gaining great strength and was able to fight with me for tens of rounds without a winner emerging, causing him to rise to fame from that battle."
Thinking of his past life, being used as a stepping stone for this junior Song Zhong, Fang Yuan snickered continuously.
"Everything's changed now. I'll find a chance to kill Song Zi Xing, hehe, let's see how you'll come into this world."
Song Zi Xing had one part of the blood sea inheritance, it was the ancient desolate beast violent blood dragon bat. This dragon bat is not a Gu worm, it can be captured and taken away.
"With the violent blood dragon bat, I will gain an endless number of blood bats. Manipulating blood bats was one of my greatest skill in my previous life. Of course, that is a plan for the future. Now, I have to rely on this blessed land to cultivate quickly, getting back to my Gu Immortal stage!"
Thinking so, Fang Yuan thought of an important question: "Land spirit, how long more till the next earthly calamity?"
"Master, I was about to inform you if you did not ask me. Right now, the blessed land has already endured five earthly calamities, the sixth is a year and three months away." Hu Immortal's voice was filled with anxiety and worry.
"What? A year and three months!" Fang Yuan jumped up from his bed, unable to sit any longer, his face turning grim.
Everything exists in balance, heaven is impartial. Strength comes with weakness, blessing comes with calamities. Blessed lands have calamities and tribulations, an earthly calamity every ten years, and a heavenly tribulation every hundred years.
Not mentioning the heavenly tribulation but just the earthly calamity; once it occurs, the might is overwhelming, often causing great disasters, if the blessed land cannot endure it, they will face destruction.
Fang Yuan had a blessed land in his previous life, he was extremely clear of the danger of his current situation!
To a blessed land, every earthly calamity is a strict test. Earthly calamities get stronger than the one before, Hu Immortal died in the fifth, and Fang Yuan was about to face the even stronger sixth calamity.
"There are only a year and three months left to the earthly calamity. Why was it not mentioned in Feng Jin Huang's biography? That's right, she is a disciple of Spirit Affinity House, her parents are both Gu Immortals, with their help, it is not hard to block the earthly calamity. But to me, this is a grave situation!"
The sixth calamity is coming too quickly, even with Fang Yuan's experience, he would not have time to make ample preparations.
Other than that, he still had to guard against external enemies.
"Under everyone's watchful eye, I snatched Hu Immortal blessed land, although the tens sects have not made a move, they are surely waiting to pounce on me. I understand now, the ten sects are waiting for the earthly calamity, and want to make use of it?"
Once the earthly calamity descends, the land spirit will have to face it with everything she had, she would not have time to take care of this master. Fang Yuan was still rank four upper stage, he was easy to target. Once he dies, the blessed land would be ownerless, and the land spirit will have to find a new master.
If the earthly calamity causes a huge loophole, Gu Masters outside would be able to enter at will. If the ten sects find trouble then, it would add on to his problems, and the situation would certainly turn deadly.
Fang Yuan's gaze shone, because his soul was injured, it caused his head to hurt.
He rearranged his scattered thoughts, and breathed out deeply, deciding: "I'll take a look at the situation, make the best preparations for this earthly calamity. If I fail, I will give up the blessed land and order it to self-destruct, not giving the righteous path any resources for free, then escape using fixed immortal travel Gu."
Although the blessed land was good, how could it compare to his safety?
With such a thought, Fang Yuan called the land spirit to bring him outside, he needed to know more about the blessed land now.
"Yes." Land spirit nodded obediently, but hesitantly added: "Master, you do not like clothes? Actually, wearing nice clothing would make one feel more energised, and you will feel happier too."
Fang Yuan: "…"
The dresses in Dang Hun palace was not for Fang Yuan to wear. But he had stored some spare clothing inside the tusita flower.
After changing into a black robe, Fang Yuan followed the land spirit, going up on the stairs and reaching the mountain peak.
Dang Hun montain's winds were very strong.
But land spirit waved her hand, and it turned into a soothing breeze.
"Master, this blessed land has 4000km2 of land. The flow of time is five times. The 4000km2 of land is mostly grassland, the grass is made up of blue degree grass, water chestnut grass, and six divine grass primarily, there are also seven treasure flowers and milk tea flowers etc."
The land spirit introduced as she drew a virtual image, floating in the air for Fang Yuan to see.
In the image, there was a classic grassland, with all sorts of colors, like a grass carpet right before him.
The blue and poisonous blue degree grass, the chestnut shaped water chestnut grass, six divine grass which looked like six thin leaves with the feeling of jade. And also the seven colored seven treasure flower, the cup shaped milk tea flower filled with nectar that were like milk tea.
With these seven as the main, there were also a lot of weed and wild flowers.
Fang Yuan looked as he nodded.
Do not look down on these grass and flowers, they are cultivation resources.
These seven types of grass and flowers were Gu refinement ingredients. Some of the flowers and grass even has wild Gu worms. With 4000km2 worth of land, compared to Earth, that was one and a half Hong Kong added together. How many Gu would there be in total?
These wild Gu worms were extremely easy to catch. With just a command from Fang Yuan, the land spirit would be able to capture them intact and hand it over to Fang Yuan.

Chapter 409: Managing the Blessed Land
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
Fang Yuan asked: "Then how many Gu are there in the blessed land now?"
The Hu Immortal land spirit raised her head by a bit: "At present, there are over eight hundred and sixty thousand rank one Gu, with about fifty-two types of them. Over a hundred and thirty thousand rank two Gu, with forty-eight types. Five thousand rank three Gu, with twelve types. Only over sixty rank four Gu, with eight types. And only one rank five Gu – fox skin Gu."
After Hu Immortal died, her obsession did not disappear and combined with this land's heavenly power to form into an unusual existence known as the land spirit. In some way, it could be said to be a continuation of her life.
Thus, the land spirit was the representative of this blessed land and was clear about everything in the blessed land.
As Fang Yuan had become the master of the blessed land now, everything in the blessed land was his.
Over eight hundred and sixty thousand rank one Gu, hundred and thirty thousand rank two Gu; these two combined meant nearly a million Gu worms!
Fang Yuan recalled the time in Qing Mao mountain, those days where he had to scheme and fight for two to three rank one and rank two Gu.
A blessed land could only be created by a Gu Immortal, it was the foundation of their wealth, a heavenly estate. Just this Hu Immortal Blessed Land alone could supply for a super clan. There would not be any problem to put five or six small-mid sized clans like Gu Yue clan here!
As for the Gu worms in the blessed land, their quantity sharply decreased at rank three. Rank four Gu worms did not reach hundred and there was only one rank five Gu.
This situation was also natural.
It was the same with Gu Masters.
Rank one and rank two Gu Masters were extremely common, rank three were already rare, rank four were even fewer, and only one or two rank five Gu Masters might appear among a million people.
This was a pyramid distribution; the quantity reduces the higher you go, and the ones who occupied the top were extremely few in numbers.
"This blessed land is still young and with appropriate managing, the quantity of the Gu worms will still increase. Reaching ten million rank one and two Gu will not be difficult. But whether I can raise them properly or not, it depends on the types and quantity of the rank four and rank five Gu." Fang Yuan calculated.
Mortal Gu Masters would usually only raise five or six Gu, while Gu Immortals could raise a million or even ten million Gu worms. The difference between the two is as far as the clouds were from the mud.
These Gu being raised in Hu Immortal blessed land could only be considered passable.
On one hand, the numbers were little, being only about a million. On another hand, the Gu were not elites. From the introduction Fang Yuan got, they were all ordinary Gu. If they were changed to Gu like liquor worm or breath concealment Gu, their value would be much higher.
Even the rank five fox skin Gu was an extremely common defensive Gu; it was effective against wind and water path Gu worms, but was difficult to use in complex battlefield. Fang Yuan did not even take a look at it.
The thing that really moved him was the time in the blessed land.
Time flowed five times faster in Hu Immortal blessed land. That is to say, one day in the outside world would mean five days here.
This meant Fang Yuan's cultivation speed would be five times faster in the blessed land! He could cultivate for a year and three months here when only three months would have passed in the outside world.
With this, Fang Yuan's cultivation speed would surpass most Gu Masters and he would have greater initiative for his future plans.
Naturally, there was a huge disadvantage to this. Fang Yuan's lifespan was only about a hundred years, thus with this, he would age five times faster as well.
The land spirit continued with the introduction: "At present, there are about a thousand groups of fox living here; red fox, golden fox, cloud fox, wind fox, autumn fox, flowing light fox, and so on. The three largest groups of foxes each has about eight hundred thousand foxes. Altogether, there are about four million and seven hundred thousand foxes."
Fang Yuan quietly listened to it and nodded his head.
Three groups of myriad foxes meant three myriad beast kings. The development of the beasts in the blessed land had still not reached a level of creating a beast emperor.
The classification of beasts was simple. From low to high, they were hundred beast king, thousand beast king, myriad beast king and beast emperor.
For example, Ba Huang and Ying Ming of three kings inheritance were two beast emperors with battle strength that could match rank five Gu Masters; they were able to temporarily obstruct Mo Wu Tian and Xiao Mang's advance.
"There are a lot of fox groups, but unfortunately they are all common foxes and not mutated beasts." Fang Yuan inwardly evaluated.
Ordinary beast's worth naturally could not compare with mutated beasts. Examples would be comparing boar and thunder boar; green bull and kunlun bull; wild dog and lion mastiff.
Above the mutated beasts were desolate beasts; above desolate beasts were ancient desolate beasts and immemorial desolate beasts.
Song Zi Xing's violent blood dragon bat was an ancient desolate beast, one of the nine true inheritances of Ancestor Blood Sea. Immemorial desolate beasts were recorded in The Legends of Ren Zu, an example would be the nine-tailed fox.
"Raising a nine-tailed fox in Hu Immortal blessed land is but a dream. Even raising an ancient desolate beast is impossible. If it is ordinary desolate beasts like hurricane fox or phoenix wings fox, raising one or two of them could be feasible but it would greatly depend on luck." Fang Yuan continued to consider.
Since he had obtained Hu Immortal blessed land, his plans after rebirth had reached a whole new level, thus he had to revise and modify them.
At this time, Jia clan's internal strife should have already stirred like a wildfire and he would not be able to participate in it. He also could not participate in the great battle of Yi Tian mountain. Fang Yuan intended to make full use of this Hu Immortal blessed land and cultivate to the realm of Gu Immortal. This meant that he not only had to resist the continuous earthly calamities but also had to manage the blessed land.
Currently, the Gu worms were barely passable and the foxes might be ordinary but they had the potential to grow.
"Actually, there were a lot more fox groups in the blessed land. At least, three times more than the present. But the second earthly calamity caused a meteor fire rain that smashed the blessed land's east area into ruins, burning hundreds of thousands of foxes to death; the dark flames of that time have not been extinguished even now. The fourth earthly calamity was a huge flood that submerged most of the grassland of the blessed land's northern area, killing many more foxes. Thus, there are only this many remaining at present." The land spirit pursed her pink lips, her eyes revealing fear and panic as she talked about the earth calamity.
At the same time, she waved her small hand and smoke flew to the air, showing the scenes of the eastern and northern parts of the blessed land.
Fang Yuan could see: The eastern part was a scene of ruin with dust and smoke pervading the whole place. There were meteoric craters all over the place, and black flames were burning around the craters. The flames burned without emitting the least bit of sound, but this manifested an even more terrifying aura.
And the northern part was a scene of vast clear water. Dark clouds rumbled in the air and rain fell endlessly. The surging water emitted bleak and gloomy sound. There were bits of grass and destroyed flowers, along with fox corpses floating on the water.
"These are the dark flame meteor and clouded white sea calamities." Seeing such a bleak scene, Fang Yuan could not help feeling gloomy.
The might of an earthly calamity was extremely strong, moreover there were countless types of calamity, and were simply impossible to plan against.
Every ten years, the earthly calamity would pose a destructive threat towards the blessed land. Hu Immortal defended for five times before losing her life. And the devastation the previous earthly calamities left were still there and had not been cured.
This was a really bad news to Fang Yuan.
Hu Immortal Blessed Land has an area of 4000km2, but northern and eastern areas were gone, causing the loss of over 1300km2 of area. Such loss was truly disastrous.
"I must settle these two problems. Apart from anything else, a lot of Immortal Essence will be used in order to suppress the burning black flames and the spreading flood." Fang Yuan mumbled in a soft voice.
However, following immediately, Hu Immortal land spirit mentioned an even worse news.
"Master, the biggest trouble is here. Look, this is what was left from the fifth earthly calamity." She waved her hand and the image changed to show a different scene.
Fang Yuan saw a scene of scorched black prairie, and a human figure formed from blue lightning was sitting cross-legged on the ground.
It's physique was not big and looked quite alluring, however it was formed purely from lightning. The glorious blue light let out an extremely terrifying might!
"Human shaped lightning, this is the earth calamity — blue charm lightning shadow!" Fang Yuan drew in a cold breath.
This human shaped lightning was one of the earth calamities; it was extremely strong and could match a rank six Gu Immortal!
Fang Yuan looked at this scene and immediately realized the killer that killed Hu Immortal was probably this blue charm lightning shadow!
Hu Immortal was an enslavement path Gu Master who controlled fox groups. Enslavement path was strong but also weak, and could very easily be subdued by beheading the leader tactics. Although there were many fox groups, they could not obstruct blue charm lightning shadow. In the end, Hu Immortal had to fight the lightning figure in close combat and lost her life.
"Damn it, how could there be this lightning shadow in this blessed land?" Fang Yuan's expression turned extremely unsightly.
He had ways to slowly settle the previous two troubles. However, this human shaped lightning was already beyond his current ability.
"Master, you need to be careful when you roam around later, this human shaped lightning strolls randomly around the blessed land. Only Dang Hun Mountain, it dares not approach." The land spirit's pink and delicate face was bathed in the image of the blue lightning, her voice slightly shaky.
"This lightning is an earth calamity but is also a type of living thing. Since it is a living thing, it has a soul and thus if it approaches Dang Hun Mountain, its soul will receive shockwaves until it turns to ashes." Fang Yuan had already settled his mind now.
"Maybe I can use Dang Hun Mountain to settle this lightning shadow? But how can I lure it?" Fang Yuan's thoughts took a turn, however the next instant the buzzing noise echoed in his ears again.
He shook his head and did not continue thinking.
"Are there any other bad news, tell them all at once." He gave a bitter smile and asked the land spirit.
The situation was much worse than what he imagined. Hu Immortal blessed land was in imminent crisis; whether it was the internal worries or external aggression, they were both very grave.
As for Feng Jin Huang – with Gu Immortal parents and also the help of Spirit Affinity House – she naturally did not need to worry about these things.
But Fang Yuan was just a lone force.
Naturally, there were benefits that only a lone force could have. In the biography of Feng Jin Huang, it was recorded Feng Jin Huang had to offer a large amount of resources to her sect after obtaining the blessed land.
The land spirit shook her small head. She had already reported the worst situations, remaining were all good news.
First of all, in the southern area of the blessed land lived a tribe of rockmen.
Rockman was a type of variant humans who lived underground and ate ore as food.
This news was an unexpected surprise to Fang Yuan.
Secondly, there was abundant immortal essence in Hu Immortal blessed land.
The land spirit brought Fang Yuan to the palace in Dang Hun Mountain. In the deepest parts of the palace was an enormous golden bowl which was filled with green immortal essence.
Besides the green liquid in the bowl, most of the Immortal Essence had automatically congealed into a ball. At first glance, it looked like a grape.
This was something only rank six Gu Immortals had — green grape immortal essence!
Each green grape immortal essence pearl contained immortal essence that was much more than the immortal essence in the three kings blessed land.
"With this immortal essence, there is still quite a bit of hope!" Fang Yuan finally breathed in relief.

Chapter 410 Dang Hun Mountain's Gutstone
Fang Yuan counted, the golden bowl had seventy-eight pieces of green grape immortal essence. Adding in the layer of blue-green immortal liquid essence at the bottom of the bowl, it amounted to seventy-eight pieces and a half.
There was ample immortal essence, a hundred times that of the three kings blessed land.
Fang Yuan took out one bead of green grape immortal essence, holding it in his hand, willing and summoning fixed immortal travel Gu.
Fixed immortal travel Gu was like jade, a meticulously crafted butterfly, it was brilliant and elegant, flying over smoothly.
Fang Yuan's face paled as his body shook, cold sweat emerging on his body as his vision turned dark. If he was not holding onto the golden railing at the side, he would have fallen.
"Master, be careful. Your soul injury was severe, do not summon an Immortal Gu so carelessly, otherwise you would fall into another coma." Little Hu Immortal shouted, her tone anxious and her expression concerned.
"No worry, I know." Fang Yuan gritted his teeth, waving his hand as he spread his palm for fixed immortal travel Gu to land.
fixed immortal travel Gu sensed the green grape immortal essence's aura and fluttered its wings, gliding in the air and landing in Fang Yuan's palm.
Next, it laid down on the green grape immortal essence and slowly consumed it.
Fixed immortal travel's name contained an "immortal" word, that was not for show. Its food was immortal essence.
A moment later, one green grape immortal essence was expended.
Gu Masters refine Gu, use Gu, and nurture Gu. After Fang Yuan succeeded in its refinement, he had not fed the fixed immortal travel Gu yet.
He slept for seven days and seven nights, the fixed immortal travel Gu was starving and its lustrous wings had dimmed.
This was Fang Yuan's first feeding session for it.
After fixed immortal travel Gu had its fill, it spread its wings and flew in the air. The bright green light appeared again, like dust particles in the air, every time it flapped its wings, it would be a beautiful light show. The unique aura of an Immortal Gu continued to radiate.
"Immortal Gu are expensive to feed, fixed immortal travel Gu consumes an entire piece of immortal essence every time! But after this, I would not need to feed it for six years."
The higher the rank of the Gu worm, the heavier the cost to feed it, but the interval between each feeding session would increase greatly as well.
Rank one and two Gu worms needed to be fed every few days. Rank four were fed one a few months. Rank five were fed every one or two years, and each time they ate, it would be extremely expensive.
Aftering feeding fixed immortal travel Gu, Fang Yuan left it alone to roam Dang Hun palace, as long as it did not leave Dang Hun mountain and get killed by that lightning shadow.
At this moment, Fang Yuan's aperture was still rank four upper stage, it could not contain a perfectly healthy Immortal Gu.
The reason he could keep Spring Autumn Cicada was because it was too weak. Other than that, it was also his vital Gu.
Problems are classified into important and trivial, after understanding his situation, Fang Yuan confirmed that he was safe for the time being. After settling fixed immortal travel Gu's matter, he had to fix his soul's injury next.
"Let's go, little Hu Immortal, go find the gutstones with me."
"Yes!" Land spirit answered quickly: "Master, you should've done this long ago, come with me."
Little Hu Immortal brought Fang Yuan to Dang Hun mountain.
The two moved on the uneven mountain rocks, Fang Yuan's body was swaying, causing the land spirit to feel worried: "Master, shall I teleport you over?"
"Teleport for what? We have to save immortal essence!" Fang Yuan stared with wide eyes.
Little Hu Immortal stuck out her tongue, frightened by Fang Yuan's words, thinking: This master is so domineering, even if he is injured, he is still so scary.
"Master, there is a gutstone here." After walking for a while, land spirit stopped and pointed at a rock below her feet, shouting.
This stone was like a person's gallstone, it grew on the mountain rocks, having mixed colors. If one did not look properly, they would think it was an ordinary stone.
Fang Yuan quickly walked over, squatting down and smashing this gutstone with his hand.
Once the stone shattered, a Gu flew out and turned into a grey eerie light, entering Fang Yuan's body.
Fang Yuan felt his brain turning clear, a new type of strength had entered his soul, and the buzzing in his ears had lessened.
Dang Hun mountain could shook souls, it was the death grounds of all living beings. It was only because of the land spirit's suppression that Fang Yuan could move around with ease.
But Dang Hun mountain was not a simple death ground.
The souls of living beings break into pieces on the mountain, scattering and fusing with the mountain. As time passes, gutstones are formed.
And in some gutstones, guts Gu are found, it could strengthen a person's soul.
This is like how the resting place of a poisonous snake has the herbs to create an antidote. All living beings compete, and the world is fair; where there is life, there is death.
Dang Hun mountain might look like an absolute death ground, but a chance of survival was hidden in it.
But this guts Gu can only exist for an instant, after that, it would either disperse or be broken down by Dang Hun mountain again. Although the land spirit can suppress the mountain, the gutstones cannot be moved, they can only be used on the spot. Thus, Fang Yuan had to go there himself and walk around Dang Hun mountain.
After being rejuvenated by this guts Gu, Fang Yuan was like a thirsty traveller in the desert getting a mouthful of fresh water.
He continued on his way, and with this land spirit acting as a dutiful guide, they found another dozen gutstones, smashing them open one by one.
Thus, Fang Yuan gained another eight guts Gu to replenish his soul. Not only did his injuries heal completely, it even improved compared to before.
"Hahaha, with this Dang Hun mountain, I have a mountain of gutstones. As long as I continue to consume guts Gu, one day, the foundation of my soul will reach a stage where no one has ever gotten to!"
Standing at the mountain waist, Fang Yuan became spirited as he laughed loudly.
Hu Immortal was a lucky person, because of an opportunity, she managed to obtain Dang Hun mountain, like she won lottery, and moved it into her blessed land.
But she was an extremely unlucky person, dying during the fifth earthly calamity.
"If it was not for the blue charm lightning shadow, she would eventually become the strongest enslavement path expert! Unfortunately, Hu Immortal only had Dang Hun mountain, but did not manage to use it for herself. But fortunately, this Dang Hun mountain is mine now!"
The most valuable part of Hu Immortal blessed land was this Dang Hun mountain!
Of course, the soul could not be strengthened endlessly with guts Gu. Once the soul was not concentrated enough, using large numbers of guts Gu would cause it to over-inflate and trigger a certain-death disaster.
But Fang Yuan had his five hundred years of experience, all his ups and downs after rebirth, constantly struggling at death's door, his soul was already tempered like steel!
Keeping calm at the face of death, a heart of ice at impending doom.
To Fang Yuan, a few hundred guts Gu was no problem at all.
There were a lot of benefits and implications in having a strong soul foundation. Be it refining Gu or enslaving beasts, it would make it much easier. Other than these, once the soul becomes stronger, Fang Yuan would not have to worry about killer moves like Mo Wu Tian's purple eyes.
Dang Hun mountain is a forbidden ground, first appearing in Legends of Ren Zu.
Legend says that Verdant Great Sun flew towards the sky, and ended plunging to his death.
Ren Zu, as his father, was extremely upset after receiving the news, finding wisdom Gu for an explanation.
It was wisdom Gu who taught Verdant Great Sun to drink, causing the series of events thereafter.
Wisdom Gu quickly said: "Ren Zu, oh Ren Zu, don't find trouble with me. Although your son died, it is not impossible to revive him. As long as you enter the door of life and death, and lead him towards the road of life, walking under the sunlight, he would be revived.
Ren Zu was shocked, before becoming overjoyed, and then extremely furious.
He grabbed wisdom Gu and questioned: "Wisdom Gu, oh wisdom Gu, do you still think I am that ignorant boy from before? The door of life and death is a dangerous place, once I enter I will never be able to leave. After harming my son, you want to kill me too?"
Wisdom Gu quickly said: "Other living beings do not know the secret of the door of life and death, thus they cannot leave. But I can teach you all of these secrets."
"You are a living person, to enter the door of life and death, you have to enter from the road of death. This road is extraordinary, it was the road left behind by destiny Gu when it left fairness Gu. The road left behind was called path of destiny. There are many suffering Gu inside the path of life, you have to enter from the road of death, and you need to own courage Gu. That way, you will not fear the torture of suffering."
"When you enter the door of life and death, and see fairness Gu, you are already dead. But at the same time, you will see your eldest son, Verdant Great Sun's soul. You will bring him away, and go out from another road, the road of life. Road of life was the path treaded on by destiny Gu when it visited fairness Gu, it is also called the path of destiny."
"But during this path, you will meet three obstacles. One is Dang Hun mountain, another is called Luo Po valley, and lastly the reverse flow river. To climb past Dang Hun mountain, you have to smash the gutstones on it, and obtain guts Gu's help. To get past Luo Po valley, you need to find faith Gu to help. To get through the reverse flow river, you have to move forward continuously, not stopping for even a second during the process."
Ren Zu heard wisdom Gu's words and let it go.
He quickly found faith Gu.
Ever since he became blind, faith Gu's light was the only light he could see.
"Oh Ren Zu, I can feel your determination in getting back your eldest son. I am willing to help you, but I urge you not to give up on this goal. Because when you give up, I will leave you for good." Faith Gu said with concern.
Ren Zu found courage Gu next.
Courage Gu and hope Gu were good companions.
Ren Zu had hope Gu, and thus saw courage Gu occasionally, he had a decent relationship with it.
After getting courage Gu's help, Ren Zu came to the door of life and death, entering the road of death.
The road of death was pure darkness, the large number of suffering Gu were like yellow fireflies, swarming towards Ren Zu. At this time, courage Gu shone brightly, chasing away the suffering Gu for Ren Zu.
Courage was needed to face death.
Ren Zu succeeded in going down, his body turned whiter as it turned hollow, gradually turning into a ghost.
He could "see" again.
When he got to the end of the road, amidst the calm darkness, he saw fairness Gu.
He was extremely shocked by fairness Gu's huge body, exclaiming: "You are fairness Gu? Why is your body so huge? A mountain is a speck of dust compared to you. The sea is like a droplet compared to you."
Fairness Gu's voice was grand: "Life and death are the greatest fairness in this world, when I am inside the door of life and death, my body will become enormous. Oh Ren Zu, you are here for your son right. Feel free to go, he is right there."

Chapter 411: Great Future Plans
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
Ren Zu was overjoyed upon seeing his son and ran towards him.
Verdant Great Sun had turned into a white ghost and was lying beside a lake, scooping out the water with a bowl and drinking it.
The water was like wine with its fragrance pervading the area.
Verdant Great Sun drank it with utmost satisfaction.
"My son, don't drink anymore. Come, let's go back." Ren Zu walked towards Verdant Great Sun and shouted.
"Esteemed father, how did you come here? This is great, let's drink together." Verdant Great Sun opened his hazy eyes and looked at Ren Zu.
Ren Zu seized the wine bowl from him and said with exasperation: "Don't drink anymore, you only know how to drink wine! Everyone knows there is a bewitching lake in the land of the dead, and its water is the bewitching soup. When ghosts drink it, they become muddle-headed and lose the desire to leave."
Verdant Great Sun, however, refuted: "Father, you are wrong. This is not the bewitching soup, it is the soul calming wine. It can calm down your soul and remove all the impurities; your soul will no longer be restless and you will experience utmost tranquility in your heart. This is one of the best quality wines in this world."
"I don't care what wine it is, you have to follow me back." Ren Zu pulled Verdant Great Sun's hand, but found Verdant Great Sun was as heavy as a mountain and could not be budged.
Verdant Great Sun shook his head: "Some people, upon death, will be as heavy as a mountain. Some people, upon death, will be light as a feather. Father, I had reputation Gu in my life and died after bathing in the light of glory. When I arrived here, my body had become heavier than a mountain, I cannot even walk a single step and can only lie down here."
"What!" Ren Zu immediately felt gloomy and anxiously shouted, "I told you before, a tall tree attracts the wind, reputation is not always a good thing. Throw away the reputation Gu."
Verdant Great Sun shook his head and sighed: "We were not born with fame and fortune, we also cannot take them with us after death. After I died, reputation Gu left me. It is fixed immortal travel Gu that has accompanied me."
Fixed immortal travel Gu could bring Verdant Great Sun's soul out of the door of life and death or even bring him to any place in the outside world.
However, Verdant Great Sun could only truly resurrect after walking through the path of life.
"What do we do now…" Ren Zu realized he had been played by wisdom Gu. Although he had arrived at the deepest part of the door of life and death — a death domain that had endless darkness, and has also found Verdant Great Sun, he discovered he could not bring back his son.
At this moment, fairness Gu spoke: "Oh Ren Zu, do you still not understand? There are only two paths in door of life and death, both appeared because of destiny Gu. Life and death is determined by destiny! All living beings live and thus die, this is the cycle that allows the universe to continue existing. Your eldest son Verdant Great Sun died, this is destiny and you should accept it. Moreover, he is living a good life here, obsession death domain is the world's most tranquil place. He is drinking the world's supreme quality wine and is free from all the worries of the outside world, do you know how blissful this is?"
Ren Zu stood there and looked at his flesh and blood for a while before heaving a deep sigh.
He knew he could not bring back his son's soul, at least it was like that for now.
He bid farewell to the fairness Gu and also his son, and left the obsession death domain.
He stepped on another path this time; it was the path of life which went from darkness to light.
However, Ren Zu soon realized walking this path was countless times more difficult than when he walked in through the path of death.
There were many more suffering Gu on path of life than path of death. When Ren Zu had walked through the path of death, his journey became smoother along the way and the suffering Gu lesser the further he walked. But as he walked through the path of life, there was not only more suffering Gu, but every step he took would cause much more suffering Gu to fly over and obstruct him.
Courage Gu could not resist them any longer: "Ren Zu, there are too many suffering Gu and they will continue to increase. There is peace in death, but life has endless suffering. Go to Dang Hun mountain quickly and break some gutstones. If you want to survive, just relying on courage won't be enough, you need guts too."
Ren Zu hurried forward to Dang Hun mountain and picked the guts Gu while enduring the tremors in his soul.
With guts Gu's help, his soul strengthened grealy, and although he still suffered the tremors, it was not of much worry.
He passed through Dang Hun mountain and arrived at Luo Po valley.
Luo Po valley was a maze with winding and twisted paths. Occasionally, there were a large area of bewilderment fog which could cause the soul to loosen; and occasionally, Luo Po wind would blow through and cut apart the soul.
Ren Zu had fallen into the lowest part of my life and could not distinguish the directions. Because his soul was strengthened by guts Gu, it was loosening in the bewilderment fog at a slower speed. The loosened soul was cut apart by the Luo Po wind.
Ren Zu almost completely lost his way, but fortunately at this time, faith Gu flew out and shone upon his path.
Ren Zu was able to walk out of the Luo Po valley with only the essence of his soul remaining.
He let out a huge breath of relief and could feel he was close to success.
He walked to the reverse flowing river, this was the final barrier in the path of life.
It was extremely difficult to move against the stream.
Endless suffering pushed upon him, causing him to make very slow progress.
However, he forcibly persevered and walked towards the light.
"Almost there." He looked at the success that was just ahead of him, only one final step remained.
He let out a breath of turbid air and relaxed; forgetting the warning of the wisdom Gu, he stopped.
This brief pause caused Ren Zu to be washed away by the river.
Life was not easy, it was like a boat moving against the flow of the river, if you do not continue moving forward, you will be pushed back.
Ren Zu was washed away by the river into the depths of Luo Po valley, he was so tired he could not budge a bit and was trapped in the Luo Po valley.
Fang Yuan broke the final guts stone and groaned in satisfaction.
Right now, he felt very comfortable. The heavy injuries in his soul were already completely recovered and moreover, his soul had even strengthened by five times!
A feeling of power burst out from the depths of his heart.
This feeling did not come from the strengthening of his physical body but from the vigor of his spirits. Fang Yuan had a feeling he could do anything easily, whether it was analyzing problems or doing multiple tasks.
"Unfortunately, there are only over a hundred gutstones on Dang Hun mountain and not all of them contained guts Gu." Fang Yuan felt some regret.
When Hu Immortal obtained Dang Hun mountain, it had already changed hands several times and was completed looted.
Hu Immortal moved it to the blessed land and managed it for decades. Almost every year, she would send large amounts of foxes to their deaths at Dang Hun mountain. Using their soul to irrigate the mountain and create gutstones.
However, these gutstones were almost all used by the Hu Immortal. After she died, these over hundred gutstones had slowly grown over close to eight years and now were completely used by Fang Yuan.
According to the Hu Immortal land spirit's description, close to ten thousand foxes needed to be sacrificed to grow a guts stone. The stronger the beast kings that died, the more gutstones would be produced.
Fang Yuan could not adopt this method.
When the blessed land was at its prime, it was inevitable and alright for Hu Immortal to do so. However, the blessed land was very weak now and the fox groups had decreased by a large amount. Killing these fox groups was not sensible for long term prospects.
With his soul injuries recovered, Fang Yuan started quietly thinking his future plans without relaxing the slightest bit.
Obtaining the Hu Immortal blessed land was no doubt a huge help to his plans, but at the same time also greatly affected his plans.
"Now, with Dang Hun mountain in my possession, my soul's foundation can continue to strengthen. And from my previous life, I have experience and insight in controlling the blood bats, such enormous advantage should be used. Walking the enslavement path is an obvious choice now."
"However, there is also a disadvantage in enslavement path in that the enslavement path Gu Masters can be easily assaulted and beheaded. So I cannot relax in my strength path cultivation as well!"
With this, Fang Yuan was going to walk on both strength and enslavement paths, organizing and feeding two sets of Gu worms.
If it was before, it would be difficult for Fang Yuan to do this. But now, with Hu Immortal blessed land, it would be no problem.
"The perfect outcome is to refine second aperture Gu. With second aperture, I could divide the sets of enslavement and strength path into different apertures without disturbing each other. At the same time, there would be enough primeval essence to control the two sets of Gu worms."
At that time, with a wave of his hand, a huge army of beasts and insects would cover the sky and earth, creating a river of blood in a blink of an eye, creating destruction and mayhem.
If there was any foolish person who tried to use the tactic of beheading the leader, then Fang Yuan's strength path cultivation would make them realize how cruel reality was and why flowers were red 1 !
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan took out the second aperture Gu from his aperture.
This Gu was like a peanut shell, shining with golden light, the patterns on its surface were scarlet veins of blood. This was the embryo form of the second aperture Gu, formed from combining false Gu and lifespan Gu; it could survive for forty years.
"There are enough immortal essence to truly refine the second aperture Gu, two third watch Gu can also be easily obtained, but I still require divine travel Gu." Fang Yuan pondered.
Immortal Gu were unique, only one Immortal Gu of the same type could exist in the world. Divine travel Gu was already transformed into fixed immortal travel Gu and no longer existed now. This allowed a new divine travel Gu to appear in the world.
Moreover, there was an extraordinary advantage of divine travel Gu – it could be easily obtained. It was not like the other Immortal Gu that were so hard to capture.
The legends of Ren Zu had written it clearly; as long as one drank the four top quality wines of the world, divine travel Gu could condense into being in their body.
Apart from the wine brewed by the wild beasts and those that were naturally formed, human's brewing techniques had flourished continually, and now the amount of top quality wines were much more than the ancient times.
Searching for the four top quality wines might be somewhat troublesome, but could be done by spending some time.
Fang Yuan had the blessed land and the assistance of the little Hu Immortal land spirit,
But the main problem did not lie here.
Because divine travel Gu could be easily obtained, others could also easily take advantage of it. In case, someone else obtained divine travel Gu, no matter how much top quality wines Fang Yuan drank, he would not obtain the divine travel Gu.
"Southern Border's Fei clan possess a top quality wine Zhuang Si Fei. Eastern Sea's rank seven Gu Immortal Zui Xian Weng has created a sea of wine, concealing countless wines, and holds a wine reception every year. Northern Plain's Imperial court has the long life wine. These great forces or maybe other Gu Immortals as well could be in possession of one or two top quality wine; their chances of obtaining divine travel Gu is much greater than mine."
With this calculation, Fang Yuan not only had to resist the earthly calamity and manage the blessed land, he also had to quickly gather the four top quality wine and refine second aperture Gu.
"However, these are not all, the crucial point lies in Spring Autumn Cicada. Time is flowing five times faster here, Spring Autumn Cicada's recovery speed will also become extremely quick. Being able to rebirth three times is already an extremely good luck, I cannot gamble on luck the fourth time. Before Spring Autumn Cicada recovers, I need to have success at first attempt Gu, immediate success Gu, smooth success Gu or any of the others."
Fang Yuan did not have enough strength before. Now, he had the blessed land and abundant resources, he could try to get these Gu already.
