Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
"We implore you to help us, old sir Tai Bai!"
"I am sincerely asking old sir to go forward and plead for us."
"The whole of my tribe, our elderly, the weak, the women and children too, the future of all of our tribesmen are in lord's hands…"
In the room, a group of Gu Masters were kneeling on the ground, crying profusely or showing a sad expression, they were desperately asking Tai Bai Yun Sheng for help.
These Gu Masters had rather special identities, they were all the tribe leaders of their respective tribes.
Lou tribe, Lu tribe, Xi tribe… all of these tribes were middle sized tribes or small sized tribes, during the process of challenging Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, they suffered the greatest numbers of casualties, if this were to continue, they might face the threat of being wiped out for good.
The previous few times, they had as a group written letters of request, asking to retreat, but they were all harshly rejected by Hei Lou Lan.
Survival was the number one priority.
Hei Lou Lan's oppressive and all out tactics had already severely harmed the survival and development of these small and middle sized tribes.
But because of the Black Tyrant's fierce reputation, these tribe leaders did not dare to approach Hei Lou Lan himself. After discussing among themselves, they decided to jointly approach Tai Bai Yun Sheng for help.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng was the current number one healing master in all of northern plains, he was well known to be kind and merciful, his reputation in northern plains was second to none. Now that he had become Hei tribe's external elder, he was greatly trusted and depended on by Hei Lou Lan.
If they could obtain Tai Bai Yun Sheng's help, their respective tribes might very well gain the precious time to rest and recuperate.
"Please get up and speak." Tai Bai Yun Sheng urged them.
"Old sir, if you do not accept our request, we will not get up!"
"Please go take a look at our tribes, you will understand our pain and grief then. Our injuries and casualties are simply too great, our women have lost their husbands, our children have lost their parents, and our elderly have lost their children…"
"Old sir, please go and talk to Lord Hei Lou Lan, if this carries on, our tribe is going to perish for good."
"Hmph, we did not die in the Imperial Court contest, but instead, we are facing extermination within Imperial Court blessed land, if word gets out, where would Hei tribe's reputation go to? This is simply too ironic!"
The tribe leaders talked one after another, they held a firm attitude and refused to get up from the kneeling position.
"Sigh…" Tai Bai Yun Sheng heaved a long sigh, he had already been very unhappy with Hei Lou Lan's actions to begin with.
There was enough time to go about this slowly, why did he have to be so anxious and rush their advancement?
Causing such grave and severe casualties, he could not bear to see this in his heart.
From Tai Bai Yun Sheng's perspective: Most likely, losing the owner token during the challenge of the second round had triggered Hei Lou Lan. Another reason was that the supreme elders of Hei tribe were pressuring him greatly. Because of this pressure, Hei Lou Lan had no choice but to give it his all in challenging the rounds.
"My servants, quickly come and serve tea to the tribe leaders." Tai Bai Yun Sheng instructed his servants.
He next turned around and consoled the band of tribe leaders: "This old man will do his best to talk to tribe leader Hei Lou Lan, but all I can say is, I will try my best."
"Old sir, you are truly a kind person, you are so benevolent."
"Gaining old sir's help, it is truly our tribe's greatest fortune!"
"Old sir, this is a letter of request that we have written collectively, we will be waiting for old sir's good news patiently."
All the tribe leaders were filled with gratitude and joy.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng received the letter of request from them and kept it in his pocket, after bidding farewell to the tribe leaders, he came to the grand hall and looked for Hei Lou Lan.
Hei Lou Lan was not settling the administrative matters of the army in the grand hall, instead, he was relaxing in the flower garden.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng hurried over quickly and when he saw Hei Lou Lan, the latter was playing chess in the lake pavilion.
Hei Lou Lan heard his intentions and first rejected him strictly, but when Tai Bai Yun Sheng urged him with reasoning and kind words, Hei Lou Lan slowly became less strict as he said: "How about this, I can let these tribes rest and recover temporarily, but they must lend out all of their Gu worms. My army will continue to advance, but we cannot reduce our strength just because of their absence! Every Gu worm that they lend will entitle them to one person who can rest, rank two Gu worm will exempt a rank two Gu Master. A rank three Gu worm will exempt a rank three Gu Master, and so on."
"Lord tribe leader is wise and merciful, I will thank tribe leader for his magnanimity on behalf of all the different tribes and their tribesmen." Tai Bai Yun Sheng knew this was the best result he could get, thus he returned and informed all of the tribe leaders about this result.
The tribe leaders looked at each other as they pondered over this, eventually accepting this condition.
Gu worms were the foundation and base of a Gu Master. Gu worms that were lent out were easy to get damaged, but it was much better than losing their own lives.
The casualties that these tribes were facing were simply too severe.
The next day, Hei Lou Lan ordered the black banner army to go to the respective tribes' resting area and collect their Gu worms, being late was not an option. He also sent Tai Bai Yun Sheng to control the situation and settle the relevant administrative matters.
After three days, this matter was finally settled.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng returned and reported to Hei Lou Lan, who invited him to a banquet.
During the banquet, Hei Lou Lan lifted his wine cup as he said: "Old sir, please have a drink! It was our great fortune that old sir joined our tribe, allowing the army to face much fewer casualties and injuries. Old sir, you revived countless people, you have accomplished great deeds."
"I am not worthy of such praise, but we have to try our very best at things, whether we succeed or not is up to heaven. With Longevity Heaven watching us, we can only do our best." Tai Bai Yun Sheng showed a look of shame, replying as he raised his cup. Hei Lou Lan's praise reminded him of Gao Yang and Zhu Zai.
In truth, every since he returned from the blood hall, every word of praise that he heard felt like an insult, like sarcastic comments that were whipping at his soul.
But today, after settling this matter, he resolved the conflict between Hei tribe and many small and middle sized tribes, in a way, he saved the lives of many Gu Masters.
This made him feel slightly better.
"With Longevity Heaven watching us, we can only do our best…" Hei Lou Lan drank his wine in one gulp, putting it down as he muttered, sighing: "Old sir's words are very accurate and articulate, it is truly well said. Longevity Heaven is watching us, the road to the future is filled with mystery and unexpected circumstances, as mortals, we can only do our best. Elder Tai Bai had already done his best, I, Hei Lou Lan, should do the same as well!"
Tai Bai Yun Sheng heard this and suddenly felt that Hei Lou Lan had some additional meaning in his words, he immediately asked: "Lord tribe leader, what do you mean by that?"
Hei Lou Lan laughed heartily, he was about to speak when Hei Shu came in with a report.
His body was covered in blood, his expression was respectful and cautious, he came to Hei Lou Lan's side and said: "Reporting to lord tribe leader, the black banner army has not failed your expectations, we have already settled it appropriately."
Tai Bai Yun Sheng felt the killing aura around him and had a very ominous feeling, he quickly asked: "What do you mean by settled it appropriately? Hei Shu! What did you guys settle?"
Hei Shu did not speak, he raised his eyebrows as he gave Tai Bai Yun Sheng a passing glance, showing disdain in his eyes towards Tai Bai Yun Sheng's compassionate and benevolent attitude.
"Hahaha, elder Tai Bai! It is exactly like what you said — we can only do our best! You are doing your best, and I am doing the same! I have to do all I can to break through the rounds, and accomplish the mission given to me by the supreme elder. Tell me, these people ran away in the middle of our task, what crimes have they committed? They were able to develop to this extent because they relied on me. Taking advantages when they can, and hiding when there is trouble, is there such an easy and simple thing in this world? Hmph! If everyone was like that, would my army need to exist anymore? Will there be anyone left who would challenge the rounds with me?" Hei Lou Lan said this with a sharp and resolute tone, his eyes were shining with a ruthless light.
Saying this, there was no need to mention what the task given to the black banner army was!
"Hei Lou Lan, you!" Tai Bai Yun Sheng stood up in a flash.
He stared at Hei Lou Lan with a furious gaze, he showed shock, anger, and even hatred on his face.
"Insolent!" Hei Shu was unhappy and was about to strike, but Hei Lou Lan stretched out his hand and stopped him.
"Elder Tai Bai, do not forget your current status." Hei Lou Lan kept away his ruthless expression and poured another cup of wine indifferently.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng clenched his fists, his body was shivering from pure anger.
He stared at Hei Lou Lan fixatedly, he wanted to scold him, but no sound came out of his mouth.
Hei Lou Lan chuckled, pouring a cup of wine for Tai Bai Yun Sheng personally: "Old sir, take a seat, such beautiful and relaxing scenery paired with good wine and food, we should not let it go to waste."
"Screw your good wine and food!" Tai Bai Yun Sheng swept his sleeves furiously, with a loud crash, all the wine cups fell onto the floor.
Hei Lou Lan was unmoved, instead he pointed at the dishes on the table as he laughed loudly: "Elder Tai Bai, this is a banquet to celebrate your success. If not for your support, why would they trust us so much and lend out their Gu? As they did not have their Gu worms with them, my black banner army could quickly swoop in and take them down, easily obliterating them. I have no one but you to thank for this."
Tai Bai Yun Sheng heard this and felt like lightning had struck him, he staggered three steps back as his face turned completely pale as paper.
"Hei Lou Lan, you are really an unscrupulous scoundrel!"
"Unscrupulous? I cannot believe this, you are saying such naive things? Elder Tai Bai, you were also once the young tribe leader of a tribe, after living for so many years, have you not seen the reality of this world? These so called political affairs have always been dirty."
Tai Bai Yun Sheng wanted to rebuke him, but there were no words he could say.
He snorted coldly, turning around and leaving, walking out of the hall quickly without even turning back once.
"Lord tribe leader, should I send people to surveil Tai Bai Yun Sheng?" Hei Shu inquired.
Hei Lou Lan raised his wine cup, his expression was plain, without a bit of nervousness. He glanced at Tai Bai Yun Sheng's back as he laughed coldly: "Tai Bai Yun Sheng is merely a healing Gu Master, what's there to be afraid of? His reputation? Hehe, after this matter, who would dare believe in him again? Good deeds go unnoticed, while bad deeds travel a thousand li…"
Hei Shu heard this and his heart jumped: "Anyone who holds a high political position is an unfathomable schemer indeed!"
At this point, he could see that Hei Lou Lan's actions were killing three birds with one stone.
Firstly, by causing bloodshed in these small and middle tribes, he was creating an example to show the others. Secondly, he could suppress Tai Bai Yun Sheng, making him understand what status he is currently holding. Thirdly, it is to attack Tai Bai Yun Sheng's reputation, in order to strengthen his own political power.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng walked quickly towards the scene of the incident.
The slaughter had ended, in order to create more fear in people, Hei Lou Lan did not order his men to clean up the area.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng looked around, his expression turning white, and his heart was shivering.
The sacred palace was dyed in blood, corpses were everywhere on the ground.
Not just strong adult men, there were even the old, the weak, women and children. Some of them had their eyes wide open, dying an indignant death; some of them had their arms and legs chopped off, some were cut in half, it was a gruesome sight; some had messy clothing, their expressions were twisted and in agony, it was evident that they had been humiliated in an inhuman way before they died…
All of this… all of this…
"It was all caused by me. If not for me trusting Hei Lou Lan, if not for me trying to mediate the tension between the two… I was too foolish, I was too naive! I did not manage to see Hei Lou Lan's ugly and evil intentions! All these people, they all died because they placed their trust in me!"
Tai Bai Yun Sheng's body was shivering, the intense smell of blood was assaulting him, and the scene of a sea of corpses lying on the ground was causing a huge impact on his fragile state of mind.
His back was hunched, the mild wind blew at him and caused his beard to move slightly, he had deep wrinkles and a dazed expression, his fists were tightly clenched, soundlessly expressing the grief, agony, regret, and self blame that he was feeling deep in his heart!
Plop.
He kneeled on the ground weakly, holding himself up with his hands as the blood dyed his palms, his knees, and his pants bright red.
"Sorry, I am sorry…"
Tai Bai Yun Sheng wept profusely, at once, his face was like an overflowing river.
"This is a good person… even though there is also darkness in his heart, in the end, there is great terror when one is between life and death. Facing death, which normal person would not lose themselves?" Far away, at a hidden corner, Fang Yuan had been observing this intently and silently.
He watched the scene unfold with his very own eyes.
It turned out that the black coffin luck represented a severe disaster that would threaten his life. The extermination of these tribes was the best proof of that.
Meanwhile, the death energy on his body was more than dozens of times thicker than these tribes' members, even a hundred times as thick!
"Hehe, this is so interesting. Luck huh…" Fang Yuan's lips curled into a cold and arrogant smile, he wanted to see if this so called bad luck could stop him in his steps.
"In this life, there is no person, any reason, or any difficulties that can affect my determination in moving forward!" His gaze was cold and still as ice, looking towards Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
"Who said that kind people will be rewarded?" Thinking of this, Fang Yuan's cold expression turned into one that had a trace of sarcasm: "Then let me give you a hand."
He activated his Gu worms in secret, forming an illusory voice that was untraceable, as the soundwaves entered Tai Bai Yun Sheng's ears one by one.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng's state of mind was close to collapsing, his mind was extremely susceptible to influences.
At this moment, he could hear a voice, it sounded just like Gao Yang and Zhu Zai.
"I believe in you! You will definitely save us, isn't that right?"
"Old sir, you are our benefactor. We are grateful to you, we are willing to risk our lives in order to come forward and help you!"
"Ah!" Tai Bai Yun Sheng screamed suddenly, opening his eyes abruptly.
With his blurred vision due to his tears, he looked at the blood puddle on the ground.
The blood puddle rippled, as the nightmare that haunted him appeared once again, the image of Gao Yang and Zhu Zai dying from the sea of blood beasts!
Tai Bai Yun Sheng's body shuddered, he was still like a statue, but the next moment, he raised his head and screamed with all of his energy.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!"
His shrill and hoarse voice resounded in this bloody slaughterhouse.
"Hehehe, hihihi, hahaha!"
When his screaming ended, Tai Bai Yun Sheng started laughing like a maniac.
His laughter contained the feeling of madness, but also anger and sadness, there was also a trace of mockery towards himself, towards the mortal world.
"Crazy? He's crazy!"
"Elder Tai Bai has gone mad!!"
The surrounding Hei tribe Gu Masters were shouting in shock.
Meanwhile, Fang Yuan was curling his lips and smiling, he was a transmigrator, and had also undergone rebirth, his rich life experience had allowed him to grasp the psychology of people to a very precise degree.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng was a very good person.
But his subconscious action in the blood hall was akin to betrayal.
This action created suspicion, doubts, and denial that he felt towards himself in terms of his personal values.
If a person denied himself, and suspected himself, then he would no doubt fall into a deep abyss of agony.
Very evidently, Tai Bai Yun Sheng was in great pain, he felt guilt in his heart, almost every night, he was tormented by a similar nightmare.
For him to accept that he had some kind of despicable and lowly character as a fact, it would be impossible to do so. His entire life revolved around justice and benevolence, he had walked on this road for too long, he wanted to return to it, but he knew that in the deepest part of his heart, this action formed a barrier that he could not cross.
He was stuck in the abyss of agony, sinking deeper and deeper the more he struggled.
The tribe leaders' request towards him was a chance that he had towards salvation, and a redemption for his mistakes.
If he could really succeed, it was undeniably the best medicine for him to pay for his sins, and he would be able to forgive himself.
But the truth was, Hei Lou Lan ordered a mass slaughter, not leaving even a single woman or child behind. This in turn caused Tai Bai Yun Sheng to become the biggest assistant in this murder spree.
His medicine turned into a heart piercing poison, the intense toxins caused him to lose himself, his mental state was close to breaking down.
At this juncture, Fang Yuan pushed him lightly, finally causing Tai Bai Yun Sheng to explode, breaking from the deepest part of his heart.
Perhaps only Fang Yuan could understand him at this point.
To put it in another way, after searching through his soul, Fang Yuan, who had seen Tai Bai Yun Sheng's entire life, could be said to know him intimately.
But the cruel reality was, this person was not his kin or his friend, he was an enemy plotting against him.
Fang Yuan, who was hidden in the darkness listening to Tai Bai Yun Sheng's laughter, looked on with an expression of appreciation, smiling lightly.
This was a respectable and pitiful old man, he screamed his lungs out, in his laughter, on his face full of tears, he was questioning himself, he was questioning the cruelty of this mortal world, fate was toying with him and he was helpless to resist.
"If you deny even yourself, what can you do?" Fang Yuan muttered lightly, his gaze was as deep as night.
"Go to the blood hall again and try to challenge the round? No, if you are there, your mind will be full of Gao Yang and Zhu Zai's images. Go seek help? Who can help you now? Hei Lou Lan? It can be assumed that you have just fallen out with him. Or rather, even if you manage to get the lifespan Gu, will you be able to use it with peace of mind?"
"Hehe, the current you, what options do you possibly have? What choices can you still make? Denying yourself, wallowing in self pity, feeling intense pain and grief, you, a person who is facing a trial of your conscience, what option do you have?"
In Fang Yuan's heart, an answer was becoming clearer.
"Thus, go ahead and make your decision, I hope you will not let me down!" In the darkness, Fang Yuan's gaze was shining as he looked at the crazy Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng was laughing wildly, his voice was bitter like he was wailing.
He tore his clothes, as tears and mucus were mixing on his face, he did not have the demeanour of a rank five peak state expert at this point.
He was someone who feared death, but he was also a good person who was pushed into a corner by this cruel and ice cold mortal world.
In truth, he was more like a —
Pitiful person.
Since some time ago, a mild wind had started blowing.
The wind gradually grew bigger and bigger, as clouds were forming in the sky.
With Tai Bai Yun Sheng as the center, the surroundings were quietly and rapidly transforming
Some sort of mystical change had started, heaven and earth were beginning to tremble.
"You did not disappoint me in the end…" Fang Yuan was extremely excited, he took his leave and vanished without a trace.
He rapidly travelled far away, retreating.
Because…
It was no joke when a Gu Master advances into an immortal.
Soon, the wind and clouds went wild, as heaven and earth changed!
The dark and thick black clouds looked like they were about to collapse at any time, destroying the sacred palace.
In and out of the sacred palace, shouting could be heard everywhere.
"What is going on?"
"What in the world is happening?!"
Countless people did not know what was happening, they fell into a panic.
"This… could it be?!" Some people with greater knowledge and experience stared at this grand scene with a dumbfounded expression.
"Go investigate, go investigate! Who is it?!" In the hall, Hei Lou Lan was furiously screaming.
"Lord, it is Tai Bai Yun Sheng!" Hei Shu was full of sweat as he stumbled his way into the hall and reported this.
Hei Lou Lan's expression froze, he was as still as a statue for a moment.
A few breaths later, he reacted and shouted with a twisted expression: "Retreat! Order everyone to leave the sacred palace. Of course, those who wish to die can stay here!"

Chapter 606: Awakening
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
The sky turned dark and gloomy, and the wind howled.
A formless heavenly power slowly lifted Tai Bai Yun Sheng into the air.
He laughed maniacally, his white beard fluttering in the wind. There were no signs of the usual warmth and benevolence on his face, it was replaced by a crazed and distorted look.
Everyone in the sacred palace was in panic; Gu Masters fled in a hurry, forming a huge stream of people that was fleeing for life towards the outside.
Only after running an immense distance, did the crowd anxiously stop.
Expert Gu Masters moved toward the peaks of hills or directly flew to the sky, and used investigative Gu worms to observe the scene above the sacred palace with different thoughts going through their minds.
Other Gu Masters also raised their heads to gaze at the floating Tai Bai Yun Sheng with looks of respect, reverence, affection, worry, envy and so on.
The news of Tai Bai Yun Sheng advancing to Gu Immortal had already spread amongst everyone.
Advancing to Gu Immortal!
This was something that most people would not experience in their whole life, and unexpectedly it was happening before everyone's eyes at this very moment.
"Inconceivable, Tai Bai Yun Sheng has yet to use any Gu worms but he actually caused such a change in weather!" Looking at the surging clouds and hearing the raging winds, many Gu Masters shouted out in surprise.
Soon the surprised voices surged into a commotion.
Because it was not only the weather that had changed, even the ground under their feet was beginning to shake.
At first, it was only a negligible tremor, but soon vast smoke and dust started to rise from the ground.
"This is the turbulence of earth qi!"
"According to the records in the tribe, Gu Masters have to first break their aperture to advance to Gu Immortal! After breaking their aperture, they can attract heaven qi and earth qi!"
Ye Lui Sang, Hei Lou Lan and some others were from super tribes, and knew a lot more than normal people. At this moment, shock could clearly be seen in their eyes.
The first step in advancing to Gu Immortal was breaking the aperture.
Using primeval essence in an all-out assault to completely shatter one's own aperture. Like this, the sealed aperture that was covered by the crystal wall would turn into a hole in the Gu Master's body.
"Just this first step needs extremely great courage. Because there is no turning back after shattering the aperture." Gu tribe leader Gu Guo Long said with a sigh.
"Advancement to a Gu Immortal is extremely difficult, with miniscule chances of success! Tai Bai Yun Sheng is too courageous, actually daring to take this step. He truly leaves us in admiration." Nie tribe leader Nie Ya Qing was deeply moved.
Hei Lou Lan's expression was complex.
He knew some inside details, a part of the reason why Tai Bai Yun Sheng was advancing to Gu Immortal was probably due to his actions.
"I was the one who provoked Tai Bai Yun Sheng, leading to him choosing to take the risk to advance in his crumbling mental state. This is good, although I learnt about immortal ascension from records, I really want to personally observe it. Tai Bai Yun Sheng's advancement into Gu Immortal will provide a great reference and be helpful to me. It is just that… so be it if he fails, but if he really successfully advances into a Gu Immortal, how should I treat him?"
Hei Lou Lan immediately frowned at this thought, feeling a headache.
Fang Yuan observed the scene while sitting on a back of an azure wolf king, surrounded by an azure wolf group.
"Advancement to Gu Immortal…" His dark gaze had excitement and also showed an expression of recalling the past.
He again used luck inspection Gu to examine Tai Bai Yun Sheng, the luck on him was now like a raging wildfire, originally it had been like flames with a growing red glow. Now, it was even more flourishing, blazing like an inferno!
"His luck is blazing, he had successfully advanced into a Gu Immortal in my previous life, that should not be a big problem for him in this life." Fang Yuan inwardly nodded.
Unlike Hei Lou Lan with his doubts and hesitation, Fang Yuan already had a plan to face the Gu Immortal Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
He tried to look once more, but the luck inspection Gu actually suffered injuries from the extreme pressure.
His own eyes also felt a burning pain.
Fang Yuan immediately stopped the activation, not surprised at all.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng had already broken his aperture, attracting heaven and earth qi in a huge surrounding range. Using Gu worms in this range will naturally create chain reactions, making the heaven and earth qi surge and trigger a backlash.
If one was stubborn and forcibly activated their Gu, even an Immortal Gu would be injured and might even die, not to mention mere mortal Gu.
Fang Yuan had not considered using Gu worms at this time to plot against Tai Bai Yun Sheng because of this reason.
If he rashly made a move in this period, he himself might be implicated.
In an instant, the dark clouds in the sky surged, and together took the shape of a giant vortex.
In response to this, yellow-brown dust churned endlessly on the ground, creating a vortex that resembled the formation of a loophole.
"This Tai Bai Yun Sheng has deep foundation and accumulation, his human qi is so majestic, actually attracting so much heaven and earth qi! This scene is actually more spectacular than when my tribe's supreme elder advanced." Ye Lui Sang was endlessly shocked.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng had an immortal inheritance and roamed northern plains his whole life, gaining extremely rich experience. By now, he had almost run the course of his entire life, thus his accumulation was incomparably deep.
The two giant vortexes covered miles of range.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng gazed up and saw the majestic and fierce vortex which looked like a giant beast opening its mouth.
In comparison, Tai Bai Yun Sheng's body was small, like a tiny insect near a pond.
But Tai Bai Yun Sheng still kept on laughing maniacally.
"Come, come!" He shouted, his body shook with fear and excitement, but also relief. Even if he failed, he would at least be freed from this nightmare.
Seemingly hearing his shout, the brewing vortex began to slowly rotate.
In the sky and on the ground, two giant vortexes rotated like a millstone.
Lightning flashed in the dark and cloudy vortex in the sky, with the thunder rumbling repeatedly. On the ground, the dusty vortex caused purple smoke to ascend with violent explosive sounds.
Like grinding stone, the dark and cloudy millstone sprinkled down a clear and bright aura. While from the dusty one below, rose a golden aura.
They were heaven qi and earth qi!
Heaven qi was clear and moved freely; earth qi was profound and dense.
And Tai Bai Yun Sheng's body released a white human qi.
This human qi was extremely dense and like a cocoon, it formed a large sphere that tightly covered Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
Heaven qi was raining down while earth qi was bubbling up, both intertwined in the air with human qi.
Heaven, earth and human, the three qi converged together and began fusing.
"First step is breaking the aperture, the second step is taking in the qi." Hei Lou Lan mumbled.
"Breaking the aperture is a point of no return, the only possibility of survival is in success and failure means certain doom. And taking in qi tests the nature of the Gu Master and their ability to control it. This step is extremely crucial and is like walking between cliffs on a tightrope. If the balance is even a little off such that the human qi is slightly in excess, it will lead to self-detonation! If heaven qi is slightly more, the Gu Master will dissolve into the sky! If earth qi is slightly more dense, the Gu Master will turn into a fossil and suffocate to death! Difficult, truly hard, truly difficult!" Ye Lui Sang lamented while shaking his head, even as a spectator, his heart shook at this sight.
One can only move forward when they begin the advancement to a Gu Immortal, there is no going back. The danger is extremely high, thus many rank five peak stage Gu Masters, even if they knew the method to advance to a Gu Immortal, would not choose to take the risk unless as a last resort.
The expert observes the process while the layman simply enjoys the show.
Most people only watched the sight while bustling with noise and excitement.
But the few expert Gu Masters who knew the inside details were dripping with sweat, their hearts palpitating with fear from the sight.
Fang Yuan was the one with the most experience regarding this.
The process of charging to Gu Immortal realm and becoming a blood path Gu Immortal in his previous life had left behind an extremely deep impression on him.
"This second step is extremely difficult, it not only tests the Gu Master's ability to control the balance, what it tests even more than that is the Gu Master's nature." He inwardly sighed.
Heaven qi and earth qi attacked the body, and the three qi converged; this was the process of a mortal blending with heaven and earth.
An ordinary person would never have such a moment where they are this intimately close to heaven and earth.
Heaven and earth were the cornerstones to nurture all living beings, the resonance between heaven qi and earth qi would fill the Gu Master's mind with the wonders of the Great Dao.
Experiencing the Great Dao was an extremely rare opportunity and the Gu Master could easily lose themselves in it, not being able to extricate themselves. This could very easily lead to an imbalance between the three qi.
Even more crucially —
The higher the amount of heaven qi and earth qi taken in, the higher the chance of advancing to a Gu Immortal. At this crucial time, the Gu Master would often get greedy and take in too much heaven qi and earth qi, leading to an imbalance between the three qi and perishing.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng did not disappoint Fang Yuan, he persevered and stabilized the situation, controlling the three qi perfectly and progressing slowly.
"This Tai Bai Yun Sheng probably received an expert's guidance!"
"Tai Bai Yun Sheng actually accomplished it, the second step could not stump him at all. This man really is not simple…"
"We need to keep on watching. Being able to do it now does not mean he can maintain the state until the end."
Hei Lou Lan and Ye Lui Sang were feeling bewildered.
Rumble!
Right at this time, a change occurred.
As the aurora in the sky shook, Eighty-Eight True Yang Building experienced intense tremors. As its cornerstone, the sacred palace started shaking as well, dust rose and many beautiful courtyards collapsed.
"What is going on?"
"Eighty-Eight True Yang Building!"
Everyone shifted their gazes in shock.
"Hmph, it is here." Fang Yuan sneered, but was well aware of this.
Inside the True Yang Building, the land spirit was furious!
Tai Bai Yun Sheng advancing to a Gu Immortal meant he was taking in heaven qi and earth qi. But this world was not the outside world of northern plains, but was Imperial Court blessed land, a small world of its own.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng was using up this small world's heaven qi and earth qi which was akin to weakening Imperial Court blessed land and was basically extracting the source of the land spirit's strength.
Could the land spirit not be angry?
It had been imprisoned for countless years and now finally had the hope of obtaining freedom.
Although it was formed from an obsession and did not know how to tell lies, but it had intelligence and understood the strategy of concealing itself.
The land spirit had originally planned to restrain itself, fearing Giant Sun's will. It would wait till Gruel Mud had corroded the shackles on it to a certain degree before it broke out in one violent move.
But now that Tai Bai Yun Sheng was charging into Gu Immortal realm, he was not only extracting the strength of the land spirit, but was sure to awaken Giant Sun's will! The land spirit would then have all its hopes dashed.
Even more likely, it would be forcibly suppressed by Giant Sun's will again.
With no choice, it could only make a quick decision and take advantage of Giant Sun's will still being in hibernation at the moment, to resist and avoid giving Giant Sun's will time to be prepared!
Thus, everyone looked on as the True Yang Building shook, bringing destruction to the fish in the ponds as many structures in the sacred palace collapsed.
In the True Yang Building, the land spirit Frost Jade Peacock let out a loud cry.
Its attack was extremely effective as the green paste covering its body immediately melted until below its neck and five to six black chains on its body also broke!
"Huh?"
A light mumble, as if just waking up from a dream, echoed out from the depths of the True Yang Building.
"Who has such guts to awaken me from my slumber?" From the infinite and eerie darkness, a giant will resembling the sun slowly woke up.
It was originally only a small glimmer, but soon brightened up to the extent that it could pierce through ten layers of the underworld, sweeping past every corner of the True Yang Building.
Fang Yuan's will that had refined the guest halt stele simply could not defend itself and was immediately wiped out. The glass owner token he held also started becoming boiling hot!

Chapter 607: Ambushing Giant Sun's will
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
A will blazing like the sun passed through the glass owner token and attacked Fang Yuan's mind.
The will was like a golden flood as it rampaged directly into Fang Yuan's brain!
Will was formed from large numbers of specific thoughts, if Giant Sun's will was allowed to erode his mind, Fang Yuan could very likely turn into a demented amnesiac.
"This is bad! Quickly throw away that damned owner token!!" Mo Yao's will appeared in his mind, and screamed.
She was the will of a Gu Immortal who had reached rank seven before death; her background knowledge of will was much deeper than Fang Yuan's.
Her own gains and losses were linked to Fang Yuan, like two locusts tied with a thread.
The mind was a vital place, Fang Yuan would not want to start a battle in there.
"No need to worry." he sneered. He was already prepared so he was not concerned, soon activating the special will Gu.
The special will Gu received the primeval essence and directly flashed into Fang Yuan's mind, blocking the will of Giant Sun.
The golden-like will came to an abrupt stop, completely halted by special will Gu!
The special will Gu then burst out with a strong absorption force, devouring Giant Sun's will unceasingly. The small will swallowed the big will, as if an ant swallowing an elephant, but Giant Sun's will had no ability to resist.
"This is…" Mo Yao's will was stumped for a while before coming to a realization, "So Giant Sun's will was a special will!"
Wisdom path had developed for a long time since its start at the Remote Antiquity Era, continuing to this day.
Will was classified under wisdom path and naturally the contents regarding it were plentiful. Not only was will divided into many types, there were also all sorts of effects.
Back when Fang Yuan had just ventured into it, he had already bought many wisdom path Gu worms. For example, special will Gu, deliberate will Gu, play will Gu, keep will Gu and new will Gu which were specially used to condense special will, deliberate will, play will, keep will and new will.
These five types of will had their advantages and disadvantages, requiring the Gu Master themselves to choose the appropriate will according to the situation.
Among them, special will could be arranged in advance and automatically trigger under special conditions.
To explain this in a simple fashion, let's take a rat trap as an example. When a rat comes in contact with the trap (fulfilling the special condition), the rat trap will then activate, trapping the rat (the prior setup is triggered, activating the trap).
Giant Sun Immortal Venerable considered dangerous situations occurring in the future, and for the benefit of his descendants, he chose to use the most suitable special will Gu to create a will of himself and placed it in Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
As long as the danger reached a certain degree, the special condition would be fulfilled and the special will would trigger Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's prior setup. As for what the activation requirement of this prior setup was, outsiders did not know. Even Fang Yuan who had been reborn was not clear about it.
But from the video clips in his previous life, he knew Giant Sun's will was a special will.
Knowing this made it easier for Fang Yuan.
Giant Sun's will was an Immortal Venerable's will, but it must also follow the laws and Great Dao of the world. The will was condensed by a Gu worm, and similarly could be subdued by the corresponding Gu worm.
Thus, Giant Sun's special will was greatly restrained by special will Gu. Within Fang Yuan's mind, Giant Sun's will had yet to show its might before it was swallowed by Fang Yuan's special will Gu.
After swallowing this will of Giant Sun, special will Gu's belly immediately bulged like a fatty who had stuffed himself to the limit.
"Haha, what a great will." Fang Yuan praised it but was inwardly shocked, 'That was dangerous! Although it was restrained, it was after all an Immortal Venerable's will. Even if it was only a strand, it was really not easy to deal with!"
The glass owner token was a part of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building. Giant Sun's will attacked Fang Yuan through this owner token. But if the owner token was compared to a passage, this passage was way too small and could only allow a strand of Giant Sun's will to pass.
If the passage was just a bit bigger, the situation would be completely different.
This strand of will that special will Gu had eaten was simply negligible compared to the Giant Sun's will in True Yang Building.
Falling prey to Fang Yuan's small scheme, Giant Sun's will could not contain its anger: "Swindler, you dared profane my, Giant Sun's, honor! I will crush you to pieces!"
Rumble!
True Yang Building started shaking, giving off all kinds of lights which infused the sky, a peerless power seemed to manifest, shaking heaven and earth.
Even though Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had already died and was unable to mobilize Eighty-Eight True Yang Building using just his will, but within Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had left behind a large amount of rank nine yellow apricot immortal essence!
Wild Gu could directly absorb the primeval essence in the air, but would lose this ability when they are refined and have to absorb the Gu Master's primeval essence.
Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was an Immortal Gu House and was under the command of Giant Sun's will, it could activate by absorbing the immortal essence left behind by Giant Sun Immortal Venerable; it was extremely simple and easy, as if it was natural!
"Run!" Looking at Eighty-Eight True Yang Building about to show its power, Mo Yao's will anxiously warned Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan was a despicable thief who had refined a part of True Yang Building, and now that Giant Sun's will had awakened, it classified him as an enemy.
Fang Yuan did not have Giant Sun's bloodline, this enmity was too big, Fang Yuan was directly marked down and an unprecedented killing intent was about to befall upon him!
"There's no hurry." Calamity was coming right for him, but Fang Yuan appeared indifferent and relaxed.
He tightly held the glass owner token.
This particular token was not simple!
It was a product created by expending an Immortal Gu using an owner token as the base. It was a crucial key for which central continent's Gu Immortals and several large forces had prepared with meticulous care over thousands of years.
"Still causing trouble after death, hmph, what era are we living in now!" Fang Yuan snorted and with no fear sent a thought through the glass owner token, launching an ambush.
True Yang Building shook intensely, the aurora that filled the sky instantly collapsed by over half. The phantom image that appeared when condensing the floors was like a candle in front of a great wind, as it collapsed and dissipated.
Everything came to an abrupt stop.
In True Yang Building, Giant Sun's will let out a frightening and furious howl as it was besieged and attacked by countless special will Gu.
These special will Gu were the preparation of central continent's Gu Immortals which had been accumulated for thousands of years, a trump card specially arranged to deal with Giant Sun's will.
Giant Sun's will's weakness was thoroughly targeted, like a sheep surrounded by a pack of wolves.
It had immediately wanted to activate Gu worms to massacre these special will Gu.
Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was an Immortal Gu House, a solidified killer move formed from many Immortal Gu and mortal Gu. Naturally, it had methods to clean up the enemies.
But central continent's Gu Immortals had researched deeply and already calculated this.
Coordinating with special will Gu's attack were other shocking methods, actually sealing all of the yellow apricot immortal essence Giant Sun Immortal Venerable left behind.
True Yang Building was not able to move without the immortal essence and immediately stopped all actions. Even though Giant Sun's will was seething with rage, it did not have any method to instantly resolve this, thus landing in a predicament.
True Yang Building sank into deathly stillness as Fang Yuan put his mind at rest.
In his previous life, central continent's Gu Immortals relied on this method to slay Giant Sun's will and destroy Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
"A pity I am still a mortal and not a Gu Immortal, there is no way for me to reap profits from this." Fang Yuan felt a slight regret.
This was Giant Sun's will, even at its weakest moment, it was not something he could meddle with.
In truth, even if he advanced into a Gu Immortal, with just one Gu Immortal's battle strength, the result would not be good. When the central continent Gu Immortals attacked Imperial Court blessed land, they had altogether eleven Gu Immortals, each of them an elite expert, but even then only three were able to return in triumph.
However, the sacrifices were worth it as they received rich battle spoils.
True Yang Building was a spiritual symbol of northern plains and when it was suddenly destroyed, the whole of northern plains suffered heavy impact, their morale fell to the abyss and they were forced into retreat continually in battles. If not for the Gu Immortal Ma Hong Yun who repeatedly playing a vital role as a pillar during the most crucial times, northern plains would have already been annexed by central continent.
As for the current Fang Yuan, he was safe for at least a period of time.
"What happened to True Yang Building just now?"
"Could it be the influence of Tai Bai Yun Sheng advancing to a Gu Immortal was too big and even Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was affected?"
"Imperial Court blessed land prohibits the entry of Gu Immortals, advancing to a Gu Immortal here like Tai Bai Yun Sheng is an extremely rare event. Does this violate the arrangements made by old ancestor Giant Sun back then?"
True Yang Building's abnormal changes caused this crowd of people who did not know the truth to be bewildered and start making guesses.
True Yang Building fell into a deathly stillness and did not show any movement for the moment. Soon, everyone's gazes were attracted towards Tai Bai Yun Sheng again.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng was floating in between the sky and the ground, continually taking in heaven qi and earth qi, combining them with his own human qi.
The balanced three qi were pouring into the space where his aperture had once been.
An extremely mysterious transformation was happening to his body.
Whether it was his physical body or soul, they were both being tempered by heaven and earth qi. The essence of his life itself was elevating to a higher level.
There were three steps in advancing to a Gu Immortal; the first was breaking the aperture, the second was taking in the qi.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng had an intact Gu Immortal inheritance and thus had a clear understanding of the key concerns in the process. So far, he was able to stabilize with no major hindrances.
But how could advancing to a Gu Immortal only have these obstacles?
Compared to the majestic heaven qi and the vast earth qi, human qi originated from only Tai Bai Yun Sheng himself.
Thus, there were endless amounts of heaven qi and earth qi, but human qi was limited in quantity.
The three qi needed to be in balance, there was no way to take in the surplus heaven qi and earth qi, so they were excluded and left to the side.
As time passed, these heaven and earth qi accumulated in the sky and on the ground, gathering and condensing, the sheer quantity causing a qualitative change.
"Tai Bai Yun Sheng had too deep of an accumulation, he was able to draw in so much heaven and earth qi. Now the extra heaven and earth qi are condensing into calamity and tribulation!" Ye Lui Sang's eyes flashed with burning light.
The deeper the accumulation of the Gu Master, the greater the difficulty in advancing to a Gu Immortal. But if they succeeded, their potential future accomplishment would be that much higher.
The risk and profits in this were directly proportional.
Hei Lou Lan watched on tightly without saying a word, putting all his effort in observing and gaining reference.
Heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities, how did they form?
The scene in front of them was displaying the whole process before everyone's eyes.
Golden earth qi continued to become denser and the turbid qi condensed into shape, gradually forming a one-horned great tiger. And the green heaven qi condensed into countless giant green willow leaves. Every willow leaf was the size of a boat.
The one-horned great tiger was as large as a hill; it raised its head while crouching down, taking a jumping posture.
The green willow leaves swayed as they spread in the sky, ready to strike.
"This is the earthly calamity lofty tiger and the heavenly tribulation willow wind!" Fang Yuan's gaze flashed with a sharp light.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng stopped his crazed laughter, a grave expression filling his face.
The crowd who were so far from all this could feel the endless power of the earthly calamity and the heavenly tribulation, then what about Tai Bai Yun Sheng who was at the center of this, the target of the earthly calamity and the heavenly tribulation?
The spectating crowd was silent, the atmosphere turning heavy.
Imperial Court land spirit, however, laughed loudly: "The opportunity to break free from my captivity has appeared!"

Chapter 608: Giant Sun's retaliation
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
Inside True Yang Building.
The land spirit was using all of its strength to attack the seal on it.
Bang bang bang!
Three soft explosive sounds could be heard consecutively, as three black chains binding it were broken.
The green paste on it had thoroughly melted from its neck and even to the tips of its two wings, revealing the bright and lively feathers.
"Little sparrow, you dare!" Giant Sun's will was bursting with fury.
"Giant Sun, despite being dead, you actually still imprisoned me for hundreds of thousands of years. Today, I will definitely break out of your damn cage!" Frost Jade Peacock let out a shrill scream, similarly furious.
Trapped for so many years, unable to even budge, the suffocation and indignance from being in captivity turned into the strength needed to break its seal.
Giant Sun's will gave a deep shout, the sun like will suddenly flared up, rushing in all directions like a majestic golden flood.
Ten thousand special will Gu were already surrounding him in layers after layers. They were like a dam blocking the flood, which was Giant Sun's will.
Giant Sun's special will was completely restrained by the special will Gu. The whole dam held tight without any cracks, but the situation only lasted for a few breaths of time; the special will Gu had already been swallowing Giant Sun's special will to the limit and started to burst one by one.
Several breaths later, the 'dam' formed by the special will Gu trembled, broke down and shattered apart!
Giant Sun's special will might have been subdued but the size of it was extremely large, having originated from Giant Sun Immortal Venerable. Even after the wear and tear of over hundreds of thousands of years, this was still not something ten thousand special will Gu could suppress.
Restraint was relative.
Water could extinguish fire, but if the fire was fierce enough, it could directly evaporate the water pouring on it.
Giant Sun's will that was like a sun was extremely grand and large, although there was a lot of consumption when he attacked special will Gu, it was still able to destroy the ten thousand special will Gu in the end.
Without the besiegement of special will Gu, Giant Sun's will was like a tied up prisoner who had broken out of the shackles, and immediately tried to control True Yang Building.
But the next moment, a full fifty thousand special will Gu rushed out and gathered again, forming a new encirclement!
Central continent's Gu Immortals had researched very deeply and would never underestimate Giant Sun's will, thus they had made sufficient preparations. Special will Gu was not an Immortal Gu, its quantity could be piled up.
Giant Sun's will who had just obtained freedom was again sealed off, letting out a furious roar.
He started attacking again, his momentum as vast as a rapidly flowing river, breaking apart the encirclement of special will Gu.
But soon, the third wave of special will Gu surrounded it. The quantity was even more this time, reaching over a hundred thousand!
Central continent's Gu Immortals had spent thousands of years for this; several great super forces had joined hands making large purchases, refining Gu non-stop, and spending an astronomical amount of Gu refinement resources.
They had paid such an astonishing price and now they were all being used by Fang Yuan, displaying extraordinary effects.
Being trapped once again, Giant Sun's will did not shout or roar.
Giant Sun's will was the will of an Immortal Venerable and knew how to think.
When he realized he had fallen into a scheme and the enemy side had made sufficient preparations, he became calm again.
He began to think and soon discovered a flaw in the encirclement!
Although Giant Sun's will was surrounded tightly in all directions by special will Gu with no area neglected, this did not signify there was no flaw in this encirclement.
These special will Gu were refined by Gu Immortals and refined Gu worms were unable to directly absorb the primeval essence from their surroundings, and there was no supply of primeval essence for them in here.
Then, where did the primeval essence used to activate these special will Gu come from?
There were so many special will Gu, and there could even be more, their primeval essence requirement would be gigantic. Giant Sun's will slightly thought over it and realized — what these special will Gu absorbed was not primeval essence but immortal essence!
A bead of the lowest grade rank six green grape immortal essence could convert to what was practically an almost unlimited amount of primeval essence!
Immortal essence was the source of fuel for these special will Gu.
And these immortal essence were concealed very well; clearly, there were other supporting Gu worms coordinating with special will Gu to form an enormous and hidden Gu formation.
"So long as I break their connection with the immortal essence, these special will Gu would not be of much threat." Giant Sun's will soon thought of this method.
However, to break the connection between the special will Gu and the immortal essence, he had to fully grasp this Gu formation first.
Just like how central continent Gu Immortals sealed all the yellow apricot immortal essence left behind by Giant Sun Immortal Venerable to suppress Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, Giant Sun's will also had a similar idea.
On the spot, Giant Sun's will thought rapidly and soon found over ten clues.
Following these clues and making deductions, the vague structure of the Gu formation began to gradually become clearer.
The land spirit naturally would not sit and wait for its death.
When it had sensed Giant Sun's will being suppressed, it mustered all its strength to break the seals on it.
Gruel Mud had terrifying effectiveness against these seals; the green paste on its body was full of cracks and the edges were rapidly melting down. The black shackles on its wings once again consecutively collapsed and four broke apart.
The land spirit, Frost Jade Peacock, gave a shrill cry, its whole body shook intensely, shaking away most of the green paste on its two wings, shortly afterwards it impatiently unfolded them.
Cold aura permeated out from all over its spotlessly white body as it raised its head high, appearing noble and beautiful. But it had yet to completely unfold its large wings when they were tightly pulled in by the black chains.
Its movement came to a sudden stop, the intense pain making it even more furious.
Although there were only three chains left, they still tightly shackled its freedom.
"Break them!" Frost Jade Peacock suddenly turned around its elegant neck, its sharp brows flickering with terrifying cold light.
"Damn it!" Giant Sun's will who had been thinking intensely, could not help but stop his thoughts as he sensed this situation.
If the land spirit broke his control, then Eighty-Eight True Yang Building could be thrown out from Imperial Court blessed land at any time.
Without Imperial Court blessed land's protection, countless Gu Immortals would start rushing over to loot True Yang Building.
At that time, it would be the case of an army of ants devouring an elephant; even more yellow apricot immortal essence would not be able to stop the consumption from the dauntless advance of countless Gu Immortals.
But Giant Sun's will was powerless to stop the land spirit at this moment.
He had been making several probing attacks while thinking at the same time, and although there were some results and he was able to recover some methods, they were still very limited and were not enough to suppress the situation.
At this moment, outside the True Yang Building….
Roar!
Lofty tiger roared and jumped.
The world trembled as the hill sized lofty tiger jumped into the air. Its enormous and malevolent tiger claws slammed towards the insignificant insect-like Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng gave a light shout as he dodged quickly!
The tiger claws could not strike him, but the huge wind force from it was still able to make Tai Bai Yun Sheng feel uncomfortable.
At the same time, the willow winds in the sky fluttered down.
These willow winds were as large as a canoe, and their descent was graceful, resembling falling leaves. But the movement that felt slow was actually fast, and the destructive power contained within them was terrifying.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng was bathed with blood, paying close attention to the movements of the willow winds. Previously, he had carelessly come into contact with three willow winds, but just that had already destroyed all the defensive Gu on him.
Right now, when he saw the willow winds falling down, he quickly evaded them.
From the earth, the malevolent tiger pounced up; while from the sky, the willow winds fluttered down one after another. Tai Bai Yun Sheng was already finding it difficult to continue after a while, he was in a sorry state and was facing the danger of losing his life.
"Sigh, it bodes ill for Tai Bai Yun Sheng!"
"His accumulation is very robust, but he has not made sufficient preparations to advance to Gu Immortal."
"Lord Tai Bai Yun Sheng, you can do it!"
Even Fang Yuan could not help but feel nervous at this scene: "Is Tai Bai Yun Sheng going to fail in advancing to a Gu Immortal in this life?"
He suddenly had a thought and disregarding the backlash, forcibly activated luck inspection Gu. But the luck on Tai Bai Yun Sheng was still burning and raging like boiling water, and was still blooming.
But the next moment, a quarter of this flaming luck had suddenly dissipated!
"What's going on?" It was the first time Fang Yuan was seeing such a change in luck.
And right at this time, a light pillar suddenly erupted from True Yang Building.
The light pillar that was as thick as an ancient tree, charged straight to the sky.
The willow winds were pierced through by this light pillar, immediately crumbling apart and turning back into clear heaven qi, pure and warm.
The light pillar swept through repeatedly, shattering most of the willow winds in the sky, before shooting towards the lofty tiger. The lofty tiger dodged while howling in grief, but the light pillar followed it like a shadow, impossible to avoid!
The earthly calamity lofty tiger continued to decrease in size the more the light pillar touched it, till it vanished into thin air!
"What's going on?" Everyone was shocked.
"Eighty-Eight True Yang Building has made a move! Old ancestor protected lord Tai Bai Yun Sheng!!" Many people cheered.
But there were also some who scoffed: "Nonsense, Tai Bai Yun Sheng does not have Giant Sun's bloodline, why would old ancestor protect him?"
"This! Could it be the workings of the rumored divert disaster Gu?" Ye Lui Sang was endlessly shocked.
Hei Lou Lan was even more excited: "The luck path's divert disaster Gu can divert heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities, greatly reducing their might, even directly obliterating them! If I can obtain this Immortal Gu…"
Divert disaster Gu was one of the cornerstones of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building. It was also one of the limited methods Giant Sun's will could mobilize currently.
Giant Sun's will's actions did not stop at this.
He had forcibly extracted a trace of yellow apricot immortal essence by rampaging multiple times. After activating divert disaster Gu, Giant Sun's will mobilized the human qi Immortal Gu in true inheritance secluded domain.
Right under Fang Yuan's sight, Tai Bai Yun Sheng's burning luck aura suddenly decreased by another quarter.
Human qi Immortal Gu was activated which similarly let out a ray of of white light.
This white light, however, directly shone on Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
Human qi Immortal Gu could increase the Gu Master's human qi, raising their future potential after advancing to a Gu Immortal. When Tai Bai Yun Sheng obtained its help, the human qi on him instantly inflated by ten times!
With the increase in human qi, he naturally needed even more heaven qi and earth qi.
However, heaven qi and earth qi were drawn out of Imperial Court blessed land.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng laughed heartily, True Yang Building's help had been out of his expectations, but he still quickly accepted it and absorbed large amounts of heaven qi and earth qi, merging the three elements into one; not only averting danger, his potential had also greatly increased, and his future prospects had turned much better!
The land spirit Frost Jade Peacock gave a shrill, furious cry.
Heaven qi and earth qi were extracted in large amounts, causing an intense feeling of weakness to fill its body.
"Little sparrow, you are still too green." Giant Sun's will snorted, he had used all the immortal essence he was able to extract on the most crucial area, acquiring the greatest results, greatly relieving the dangerous situation.
Giant Sun's will was after all a will that originated from an Immortal Venerable, its wisdom was extremely high.
The situation had turned around quickly now and it was advantageous to Giant Sun's will.
The weakening of the land spirit gave Giant Sun's will plenty of time to grasp the Gu formation of the special will Gu surrounding him. Once Giant Sun's will breaks apart this encirclement, he would regain control of the situation, and it would be extremely easy for him to undo the seal on the immortal essence then.
As long as the seal on the immortal essence was broken, Eighty-Eight True Yang Building would be able to display the supreme might of a rank eight Gu House in all its glory!
"This is bad, I still underestimated an Immortal Venerable's will. I have less than half the expected time left." Fang Yuan was able to understand the situation in True Yang Building through the glass owner token.
His heart sank: "Now, I can only put my hopes in Tai Bai Yun Sheng. Hopefully, he can quickly become a Gu Immortal and refine landscape as before Gu…"

Chapter 609: Better to die than not be free
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
At the center of the scene, the three qi were fusing.
With the help of Giant Sun's will, the thick qi flows had almost formed a cocoon around Tai Bai Yun Sheng!
All his injuries were long gone without any trace, his body, soul and consciousness were all being refined to a higher level.
He looked back on his life, the scenes of the past quickly flashing through his mind.
The mysteries of the Great Dao circulated in his mind, inspirations came to him without pause, he was obtaining perfect solutions for the difficult problems in cultivation that had restrained him in the past.
At this moment, heaven and earth were like selfless teachers, imparting all their knowledge to Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
However, the mysteries of heaven and earth were too vast and profound, the more Tai Bai Yun Sheng knew, the more he realized his minuteness.
He had no choice but to focus on his time path, refining and developing his knowledge.
His understanding towards time path reached the peak of his lifetime!
Inspiration from nature!
Man is the spirit of all livings beings, Gu is the essence of heaven and earth. Gu Masters used Gu, refined Gu and raised Gu; this was actually an unending process of learning, exploring and studying the world.
In the process of advancing to a Gu Immortal, a Gu Master need not use Gu worms to indirectly understand the world, instead it was a direct interaction with heaven and earth.
This was probably the only chance in one's whole life before becoming a Gu Immortal to have such a precious opportunity.
Rank five peak stage was the finishing line of mortal Gu Masters. But rank six Gu Immortals were beyond mortal, becoming a Gu Immortal was only a new starting point.
At this crucial starting point, every Gu Immortal's future achievements would be different depending on the potential they accumulated.
"Such a beautiful experience, but my human qi is not sufficient…" Tai Bai Yun Sheng wished to continue immersing himself in this feeling but could not do so, a regretful expression appearing on his face.
His human qi was already nearly exhausted, and this was after obtaining the help of human qi Immortal Gu, otherwise the time would have been even shorter.
The qi cocoon dispersed and Tai Bai Yun Sheng's silhouette was revealed again.
The three qi had merged and shrunk down to a mass of tri-colored primordial qi, condensed into where Tai Bai Yun Sheng's aperture had originally been.
This step signified the completion of the second step in advancing to a Gu Immortal, receiving qi.
Next was the final step of becoming a Gu Immortal — releasing Gu!
Tai Bai Yun Sheng was being extremely serious, as he took out river as before, mountain as before and man as before Gu.
These three Gu were his core Gu worms and he was exceedingly familiar with them. Moreover, man as before Gu was even his vital Gu.
"Finally, the most crucial moment…" Tai Bai Yun Sheng first sent his vital Gu to the mass of tri-colored primordial qi in his body.
BOOM!
All of a sudden, a mystical sound like that of thunder storm echoed in Tai Bai Yun Sheng's ears, causing his whole body to intensely shake.
The tri-colored mass of qi was originally merged together and constantly flowing in circulation. But after Man As Before intruded in, it was like it had ignited an explosive; the primordial qi mass immediately exploded loudly.
There can be no creation without destruction, in death there is new life!
This moment was when a mortal could ascend to a Gu Immortal!
The explosive sound was truly mystical, exploding out the marvels of life, exploding out a whole new world!
The mortal aperture was broken, an immortal aperture was being formed!
The immortal aperture was like a small world; the sky was azure like crystals and the ground was a desolate wilderness filled with yellow stones.
It was like a newborn baby and intensely demanded nourishment, erupting at the outside world with an extremely strong force of suction and absorption.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh….
Heaven qi and earth qi madly poured into Tai Bai Yun Sheng, flowing non-stop into the immortal aperture.
In the immortal aperture, the ground quickly expanded; two thirds of a thousand square kilometres, four thirds of a thousand, two thousand square kilometres…
And time flow also rose from the one to one ratio to one to ten, one to twenty….
The immortal aperture was gradually starting to become unstable from the mad flow of qi.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng then sent in River As Before and Mountain As Before, stabilizing the situation.
The immortal aperture was expanding continually, and a tributary of the river of time flowed in the darkness, causing the time flow to increase steadily.
Time passed, Tai Bai Yun Sheng kept on placing Gu worms to maintain the stability of the immortal aperture.
Three and one third thousand square kilometres, four thousand, four and two thirds of a thousand!
One to thirty, one to thirty-one, one to thirty-two, one to thirty three!
The immortal aperture had reached its extreme at this point, as if it had drunk and eaten to its fill, abruptly stopping its growth.
But the clear heaven qi was still pouring in from the sky, and golden earth qi was still surging up from the ground.
At this moment, the immortal aperture absorbed heaven qi and earth qi much slower than before. At first, it was drinking in big gulps, while now it was taking slow sips.
Heaven and earth qi converged into the immortal aperture, green and golden mists and clouds filled the whole immortal aperture.
The dense qi flow was brewing beads of immortal essence within.
They were precisely the green grape immortal essence of a rank six Gu Immortal, thirty six of them in total.
The tribulation clouds in the sky and the calamity dust in the ground, began to gradually dissipate.
The mist like heaven qi and earth qi in the immortal aperture, however, had yet to dissipate.
They condensed around Man As Before, River As Before, Mountain As Before and other Gu worms, causing a dense qi cocoon to form over these Gu worms.
The two qi mixed; heaven and earth interacted.
Within the qi cocoons, each Gu worm was beginning to ferment mysterious changes.
"It is time." A Gu recipe flashed in Tai Bai Yun Sheng's mind.
This Gu recipe was only a theoretical Gu recipe of an Immortal Gu, it was from the old beggar's Gu Immortal inheritance.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng could not guarantee whether this theoretical Gu recipe could succeed.
But he no longer had another option.
His lifespan was near its end, about to exhaust completely. After advancing to a Gu Immortal, his senses reached a whole new level, especially the sense regarding time had heightened the most, it was precise to within a single breath.
This novel sensation did not put him in a cheerful mood for long before he fell into silence, feeling oppressed and even afraid.
Because he could sense that the time he had was truly not much, just like a small puddle under strong sunshine, with his lifespan being the thin layer of water left in the puddle.
He had planned to get lifespan Gu but it failed because of Fang Yuan's secret manipulations. The bloody road he had experienced in reaching the great hall even became a knot in his heart.
Now, his only hope was in man as before Gu.
According to what the theoretical Gu recipe showed, when man as before Gu was advanced to rank six, it could be used on oneself.
"Refine!" Tai Bai Yun Sheng gave a soft shout, countless thoughts emerging in his mind.
These thoughts formed the theoretical Gu recipe which directly poured into the immortal aperture and then into the thick cocoon covering the man as before Gu.
These heaven and earth qi were the source of all living beings. As the two interacted, they evolved into all things in heaven and earth.
These two qi were the origin of all living beings and could replace any Gu refinement materials.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng's thoughts were like keys that directed the heaven and earth qi in the proper direction.
The thoughts entered the cocoon and immediately brought upon a violent change.
Although it could not be compared to the explosion of the three qi in the first step of releasing Gu, its effect was not small either.
The qi cocoon erupted with devouring force, swallowing the remaining heaven and earth qi in the immortal aperture without pause.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh….
The qi flow surged non-stop, forming a screaming gale.
Man as before Gu turned into the eye of the storm, large amounts of heaven and earth qi poured into it, turning into Gu refinement resources.
"This it it, this is it…." Tai Bai Yun Sheng mumbled softly in the air, his tone carried gratification and also expectation.
After so much effort and risk, he was now finally seeing the hope of success.
Although the process had been filled with inconceivable events.
If True Yang Building had not made a move, Tai Bai Yun Sheng was sure to fall in the second step.
As he thought of this, he glanced at the True Yang Building.
He was not of Giant Sun's bloodline, but True Yang Building had actually helped him; this was a fact.
"Did Giant Sun's will wake up?" Tai Bai Yun Sheng inwardly guessed. He had a Gu Immortal inheritance, his experience and knowledge were not lacking compared to people like Hei Lou Lan and Ye Lui Sang.
"Giant Sun Immortal Venerable prohibits the entry of Gu Immortals, I have already violated this taboo by advancing into a Gu Immortal here. So, why would Giant Sun's will still help me?" Tai Bai Yun Sheng was puzzled.
Even with his plentiful experience, he could not anticipate the things occurring in the True Yang Building.
Within the True Yang Building, Frost Jade Peacock gave shrill cries, the green paste on its body kept on shaking and bouncing, the iron chains also shook, producing clanking sounds when they collided with each other.
The powers sealing it were melting down from the corrosion of Gruel Mud.
But Frost Jade Peacock showed no signs of joy, instead it was filled with fear and anxiety.
Giant sun's will, however, laughed brightly: "Little sparrow, your struggle is of no use."
Through Tai Bai Yun Sheng, Giant Sun's will was able to exploit some methods to ingeniously strike the Imperial Court land spirit, weakening its strength at its foundation.
Despite the powers binding Frost Jade Peacock weakening constantly, Giant Sun's will had already bought some time.
He had already seen through most of the special will Gu formation that had besieged him.
How could an Immortal Venerable's arrangement be so simple?
As long as Giant Sun's will was completely free, he naturally had large numbers of methods to choose from like metal path, water path, fire path and so on, to seal the land spirit again.
"I have slept for too long, but it doesn't matter. I will first put this disobedient land spirit in its place, then I shall completely eliminate the minute loopholes in True Yang Building; at that time, Eighty-Eight True Yang Building will once again be like an iron bucket, standing tall for hundreds of thousands of years longer!" Giant Sun's will's tone was deep and profound.
"I won't let you have your way even if I die!!!" After hearing 'standing tall for hundreds of thousands of years', all the hairs on Frost Jade Peacock stood on their ends.
A land spirit was formed from an obsession and the matter of recognizing the master was not a flexible one. Frost Jade Peacock was distinct in this even from other land spirits; it was incomparably proud and would not yield even a little.
But Frost Jade Peacock did not struggle anymore, instead it strangely lay down dispiritedly. However, its gaze was still sharp as a knife, filled with hatred completely.
Giant Sun's will was stupefied before suddenly realizing something as he shouted in rage: "Little sparrow, you dare to do this!"
Outside the True Yang Building.
"The tribulation clouds and calamity dust are gradually dispersing, has Lord Tai Bai Yun Sheng succeeded in advancing to a Gu Immortal?" Those who did not know the truth felt excited at this sight.
"I had never expected Tai Bai Yun Sheng to actually reach the third step! Looking at his appearance, the immortal aperture has already formed. I wonder what grade of blessed land he has formed?" Ye Lui Sang mumbled.
In advancing to a Gu Immortal, after passing the second step, the Gu Master could form an immortal aperture.
Immortal apertures of rank six and rank seven Gu Immortals were blessed lands; rank eight and rank nine Gu Immortal apertures were grotto-heavens!
"Blessed lands are divided into three grades, corresponding to large, medium, and small in size; the more heaven, earth and human qi are fused, the higher the grade of the blessed land. Small blessed lands have an area of up to two thousand square kilometres, they can draw in a small tributary of the river of time, and form over ten beads of immortal essence; there are few resources. Medium grade blessed lands can range from two and two thirds to four thousand square kilometres, they can draw in a slightly bigger tributary of the river of time, and form over twenty beads of immortal essence; they have plentiful resources. High grade blessed lands can range from four and two thirds to six thousand square kilometres, and draw in a large tributary of the river of time, the quantity of immortal essence formed surpasses thirty, and there will be plenty of heaven and earth qi remaining which can mutually interact and refine a mortal Gu into an Immortal Gu!"
Hei Lou Lan's gaze was fixed directly ahead, the relevant information flashing in his mind.
His brows slightly furrowed, Tai Bai Yun Sheng was able to pass the second step with True Yang Building's help, reaching the third step. And now, it looked like there was a great chance for him to succeed in becoming a Gu Immortal.
'If Tai Bai Yun Sheng becomes a Gu Immortal, then what stance should I take, how should I treat him?' Hei Lou Lan pondered over this issue.
'If nothing unexpected happens, Tai Bai Yun Sheng will no doubt obtain a high grade blessed land. However, refining an Immortal Gu carries risk, forming calamities and tribulations in the immortal aperture.' Fang Yuan's gaze continuously flickered.
For a mortal to advance to a Gu Immortal, there naturally were special risks.
Gu Masters were like this, it applied to Gu worms too.
Humans took in heaven and earth qi, fusing with human qi, the fusion of the three qi would lead to heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities. Gu worms took in heaven and earth qi, and also would induce calamities and tribulations.
It was hard for outsiders to interfere in the calamities and tribulations within one's own blessed land.
True Yang Building could influence Tai Bai Yun Sheng, but it could not influence the blessed land, the immortal aperture in his body.
In another words, Tai Bai Yun Sheng could only rely on himself.
"Huh?" Fang Yuan suddenly looked at the sky.
Regarding the sky of Imperial Court blessed land, in daytime, golden light glittered, while at night, warm silver radiance shone down.
But right now, pitch-black scars appeared in the golden sky from which specks of starlight shone down.
This was the night sky of the outside world of northern plains.
The whole of Imperial Court blessed land began to tremble.
Everyone started crying out in surprise and shock.
The tribulation clouds and calamity dust which had almost dissipated condensed again. Large amounts of heaven and earth qi poured into Tai Bai Yun Sheng's body non-stop, directly entering his immortal aperture like moths to a fire.
"What's going on?!" Hei Lou Lan was dumbstruck.
"What the hell happened!" Ye Lui Sang held his head, shouting involuntarily.
"Too much heaven and earth qi were absorbed from Imperial Court blessed land, its foundation was injured, thus it is revealing the outside world, in linking up with northern plains!" Fang Yuan's mind shook, his gaze moved from Tai Bai Yun Sheng to Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
He had guessed the truth.
Frost Jade Peacock was actually so proud, it would rather die than be suppressed by Giant Sun's will any longer.
It lived up to its words!

Chapter 610: The key to victory and loss
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
When a Gu Master advances to an immortal, their aperture will transform into an immortal aperture.
The immortal aperture is a qualitative evolution of the aperture, it is like the creation of a whole new small world.
Rank six and seven Gu Immortal apertures were known as 'blessed lands'. Rank eight and nine Gu Immortal apertures were called 'grotto-heavens'.
If a Gu Immortal's lingering obsession was left behind when they died, it would combine with the heavenly power inside the immortal aperture and become the land spirit.
Every immortal aperture is unique, it is a part of the Gu Immortal's body. In some ways, even if a Gu Immortal dies, the land spirit and immortal aperture that they leave behind could still be considered a strange form of life extension for them.
Precisely because the land spirit is formed from obsession, it is rigid and not flexible.
In history, there were many such cases. For example, if a Gu Immortal forcefully takes down a blessed land, but did not meet the requirements to become the owner, the land spirit would reject them, in the end, the land spirit may directly self-detonate, causing the Gu Immortal's efforts to be for nothing.
Giant Sun's will forcefully sealed Imperial Court blessed land's Frost Jade Peacock, this had accumulated hundreds of thousands of years of anger in the latter. Now that he wanted to continue sealing it, Frost Jade Peacock's resolute heart was finally ignited.
"What is going on?"
"Lord Tai Bai Yun Sheng's immortal ascension caused a loophole to form in the blessed land?"
"Imperial Court blessed land is currently being exposed to the outside world, this is unbelievable, this has never happened in the past!!"
"This is bad, I have a very bad feeling. Do you think the blessed land is going to be destroyed?"
In the blessed land, everyone was shouting in fear, they were panicking and their doubts were spreading.
In the sky, countless cracks were formed. The sky of the blessed land, which was silver and gold, had lots of cracks now, from these cracks, one could see the starry sky of northern plains.
Fang Yuan's gaze was still calm as ever.
"Imperial Court blessed land would not self-destruct so easily." He muttered in his heart, regarding this he was extremely confident.
In history, there were many cases of the land spirit suiciding, destroying the blessed land along with them, but that was not going to happen here.
This was Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's arrangement, how could it be broken so easily? This was the hard work of a rank nine Gu Immortal, this set-up covered the entire region of northern plains!
Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was the biggest obstacle.
"If this was in the past, how could the land spirit cause such trouble? Except that now, Giant Sun's will had just awakened, he was caught off guard and had to waste time to resolve this mess. Meanwhile, the seal that imprisoned the land spirit had weakened drastically because of my gruel mud Immortal Gu, this allowed the land spirit to struggle so violently."
In his analysis, Fang Yuan could not help but internally praise Giant Sun's resolution and methods.
He had used the chess piece Tai Bai Yun Sheng, and with his limited methods, he managed to fight for precious time and allow the scales of victory to tilt towards himself.
"However, even though the land spirit cannot self-destruct, it could still do the most basic thing like absorbing its own heaven and earth qi."
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan directed his gaze towards Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
Above Tai Bai Yun Sheng's head, the scattered tribulation cloud formed once again, and the calamity dust on the ground also started spreading.
Large amounts of heaven qi and earth qi gushed out, they were about to form a new heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity!
"This, what is going on? Why are there still heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities?! Wasn't it over already?" Seeing this, Ye Lui Sang's eyes were wide open in shock.
"This is different from what is in the records. There is something strange going on with Tai Bai Yun Sheng, why are there two heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities in a row?" Hei Lou Lan was very confused as well.
Even they had no idea, not to mention the others.
Looking at the imposing heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity forming once again, many people were lost for words as they felt very worried regarding Tai Bai Yun Sheng's situation.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng's expression was ashen.
"Why is there still a heavenly tribulation forming?! My inheritance did not state that this would happen!" He was shocked and furious.
Because not just on the outside, at the same time, the immortal aperture inside his body was also forming another heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity!
When a mortal Gu becomes an Immortal Gu, it is like a Gu Master becoming an immortal, it is a dangerous process to make a qualitative change that defied heaven. When Gu worms were refined into Immortal Gu, they would need to involve heaven and earth qi, this way, the corresponding heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities would form.
Being faced with trouble both internally and externally, Tai Bai Yun Sheng could neither advance nor retreat, he could not attend to one problem while neglecting the other, his situation was very worrying!
Fang Yuan used the gruel mud Immortal Gu to awaken the land spirit.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng's immortal ascension became a crucial chess piece in the fight between the land spirit and Giant Sun's will.
This immortal ascension had already gone out of his control.
Other than Fang Yuan, everyone else was kept in the dark, they were unaware of the truth.
Only Fang Yuan knew the land spirit's intention!
In a race against time, the land spirit could not compete with Giant Sun's will, thus it placed its attention on Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
The heaven qi and earth qi were extracted by sacrificing the land spirit's own foundation. Its intention was to form the heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity that would destroy Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
What benefits would the land spirit gain from killing him?
This would involve the devouring of the immortal aperture.
Mortal apertures were not easy to devour and combine, but after ascending to immortal, the immortal aperture was a small world. Between worlds, they could be devoured and assimilated, there were great benefits to Gu Immortals.
On Tian Ti mountain back then, Fang Yuan discarded a portion of Hu Immortal blessed land's territory, which were quickly taken by the other Gu Immortals. Swallowing other immortal apertures and strengthening one's own immortal aperture, there was much to gain from this.
If the land spirit destroyed Tai Bai Yun Sheng, after he dies, his immortal aperture would remain. It would then be absorbed and assimilated by Imperial Court blessed land.
After devouring the aperture, the blessed land's foundation would rise, and the land spirit would become much stronger. This would be a great help for it to break through Giant Sun's seal.
In the sky, dark clouds were rumbling as lightning and thunder resounded.
Countless purple lightning bolts formed into balls of lightning.
On the ground, the calamity dust settled down, exposing the bare earth.
A crack formed on the ground, it was hundreds of meters wide, exposing red hot flames from within, it resembled a desolate beast opening its bloodthirsty mouth.
The flames rose up, forming many traces of restraining smoke as they gushed up.
"Chaotic lightning balls, restraining smoke!" Fang Yuan frowned slightly.
The chaotic lightning balls not only had great power, they could even ruin the Gu Master's mind and will, inducing a chaotic effect. Restraining smoke could seal away the environment, as long as the Gu Master was trapped within, they would lose their five senses, like falling into a maze or an abyss, they would not be able to get free.
Chaotic lightning balls were not fast, but together with the suppression from restraining smoke, they were perfect partners and could unleash the greatest effect!
Fang Yuan could not help but feel some worry.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng's failure was not what Fang Yuan wanted to see.
Holding the glass owner token in his hand, Fang Yuan tightened his grasp as his gaze turned dark: "Still too weak, too weak! With my current strength, I am very heavily affected by circumstances…"
Howl, howl, howl!
The chaotic lightning balls flew through the air, emitting a strange and shrill noise. They sounded like a woman screaming and crying at the same time, it was very painful to the ears.
At the same time, the restraining smoke was rumbling, surging towards Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng's expression turned pale.
The chaotic lightning balls changed their directions randomly, sometimes they traveled right, sometimes left, it was hard to dodge them. Furthermore, there were traces of restraining smoke around him, like he was in the middle of an ancient forest.
"If I come into contact with the restraining smoke, I'll be finished! Oh no, the heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity in my immortal aperture is also forming, moreover I have already lost my defensive Gu!" Tai Bai Yun Sheng gritted his teeth, his gaze was shining with resolution.
Risk it!
His body gave off a shining light, using several movement Gu, his body flew into the air.
The intense wind blew this old man's hair towards the back, showing an unrestrained demeanour.
Shocked screams could be heard coming from the crowd.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng charged towards the tribulation cloud, above him, there were countless chaotic lightning balls, looking from afar, he was like a moth flying towards a fire.
"Is Tai Bai Yun Sheng seeking death?" Ye Lui Sang frowned deeply.
"Good!" Hei Lou Lan, however, gave high praise.
Fang Yuan's eyes also shone.
Restraining smoke might seem harmless without any attack power and could only trap enemies, but it held much greater threat than the chaotic lightning balls.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng understood the situation and made the best decision.
Only to see that after he charged into the thunder cloud, countless lightning balls shot down like fish swimming in water.
Bam bam bam…
The lightning balls continued to explode, but it did not affect Tai Bai Yun Sheng at all.
He flew left and right, trying to find a survival chance in the barrage of attacks, his movement speed was fast at times and slow at others, he had great control over the situation!
"Amazing! What level of flying attainment is this!"
"To think that Lord Tai Bai Yun Sheng is actually a flying master!!"
"He hid himself too deeply, I only found out now…"
Everyone was overjoyed to find out that Tai Bai Yun Sheng was a flying master!
"To think that Tai Bai Yun Sheng was skilled at using cloud path Gu worms." Ye Lui Sang praised, he was not very surprised at the display of flying.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng was a healing Gu Master, these years when he roamed northern plains, he had encountered many dangers. He had to have a secret ability in order to survive till now.
In truth, most healing Gu Masters were either skilled in defense or movement.
When these Gu Masters were nurtured, they were specially trained in this manner.
That was because in the battlefield, healing Gu Masters were usually the first to be targeted, many times they could not receive protection from their teammates. Thus, healing Gu Masters needed to have certain ways to protect themselves.
"As the number one healing Gu Master in northern plains, Tai Bai Yun Sheng is not skilled in defense, with his age, it is no wonder he has such flying attainment." Hei Lou Lan thought about this and turned his head, looking at the sky far away.
There, Fang Yuan seated on the azure wolf king's back, observing Tai Bai Yun Sheng closely.
Compared to Tai Bai Yun Sheng, Chang Shan Yin who was also a flying master was much younger.
"Little sparrow, you are really enjoying yourself." In True Yang Building, Giant Sun's will laughed instead of raging.
Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was shaking intensely, the aurora was wavering in the sky as a huge pillar of light shot out.
Immortal Gu — Divert Disaster!
The light of Divert Disaster shone around Tai Bai Yun Sheng, piercing through the lightning balls and restraining smoke.
"Old ancestor is really blessing Tai Bai Yun Sheng, he struck once again!" Amidst the shocked screams, there were jealous and envious people too.
"This is too weird, Tai Bai Yun Sheng is not part of Giant Sun's bloodline, to think he could receive such blessings as well!" Someone was suspicious.
"As expected, he struck." Fang Yuan sighed internally, Tai Bai Yun Sheng had already become a crucial factor in the contest between the land spirit and Giant Sun's will, the land spirit wanted to harm him, while Giant Sun's will wanted to protect him!

Chapter 611: Landscape As Before
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
"Luck inspection Gu!"
Fang Yuan's heart moved, quickly sending his primeval essence into the Gu.
The next moment, his vision changed.
Luck inspection Gu, a rank five luck path investigative Gu, it could allow him to see luck despite its formlessness.
Looking at Tai Bai Yun Sheng's luck now, his previous fiery red luck that was originally burning with a glowing red glow had shrunken by a bit.
"Earlier, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's will was helping him, thus his luck was being expended. Now that he helped once more, Tai Bai Yun Sheng has only a third of his initial luck left." Fang Yuan evaluated.
Looking at his own luck, it was still the black coffin luck, as rich and dense as ink, and even larger than before.
Fang Yuan's heart jumped, but quickly snickered to himself, looking at the people in the blessed land.
The people who were watching Tai Bai Yun Sheng ascend to immortal realm had changes to their luck as well.
The overwhelming majority of the Gu Masters had unwittingly developed a small layer of black coffin luck.
Except for Hei Lou Lan, he still had his unchanged profuse azure luck.
Looking around, Fang Yuan felt his eyes hurting, he quickly stopped using the luck inspection Gu.
When a Gu Master ascends, there would be endless heaven and earth qi, using Gu worms in such an environment would cause a backlash.
If he forcefully continued to use them, both he and his Gu worms would suffer injuries, or even face death.
As his vision returned to normal, Fang Yuan looked at Tai Bai Yun Sheng again.
He was swimming in the thunderstorm, flying through the crevices of the clouds, showing off his master level flying attainment.
His body had no more defensive Gu, he was relying on his movement to evade the chaotic lightning balls, it was like walking on a tightrope, he was in great danger.
In order to avoid the earthly calamity of restraining smoke, he charged into the thunder clouds, this was a wise decision when weighing the two difficulties, but it was also a helpless choice.
"If not for the fact that I have green grape immortal essence, and can dilute it to form endless primeval essence, such an insane flying speed would have drained my aperture dry long ago." Tai Bai Yun Sheng was breathing roughly, his hair was in a mess and his body was feeling weak, the situation was getting more dangerous.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, a chaotic lightning ball changed directions and charged towards him.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng wanted to evade it, but it was too late, he could only stare indignantly with a furious gaze.
In the moment of crisis, a white light pillar shot over, directly hitting this chaotic lightning ball.
The lightning ball quickly melted from the ray of light, turning into pure heaven qi.
Divert disaster Gu!
Eighty-Eight True Yang Building's help came once again, saving Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
"So close, even though I became a Gu Immortal, I do not have any defenses on me, if I was hit by the chaotic lightning ball, I'd be heavily injured, the consequences are unthinkable!"
Tai Bai Yun Sheng swallowed his saliva, feeling some lingering fear.
After becoming a Gu Immortal, the foundation of his life had been elevated. If he was still a mortal, a chaotic lightning ball could easily kill him. Gu Immortals however, were tougher, even without any defensive Gu, they could endure over a dozen lightning balls without any problems.
But the thing was, these lightning balls had special effects.
After being hit, they would cause Tai Bai Yun Sheng's thoughts to be chaotic, once his mind is in chaos he would not be able to think properly.
At this crucial moment, as long as Tai Bai Yun Sheng stops in the air for a moment, he would be attacked by countless lightning balls at once.
If he was hit by these lightning balls consecutively, Tai Bai Yun Sheng would have no chance to gather his thoughts, he would just be drowned under the endless lightning balls.
"Quickly look, Eighty-Eight True Yang Building saved Tai Bai Yun Sheng once again."
"That's right, this has already happened at least ten times."
"With True Yang Building's help, it seems Tai Bai Yun Sheng's tribulation will succeed without fail!"
Outside, everyone saw this with amazed and envious expressions.
"Such intensive assistance, will it really work?" Hei Lou Lan's eyes were shining brilliantly, he saw the situation with a different perspective.
In such an environment, when heaven and earth qi were rampaging, usage of any Gu worm would create a huge backlash.
Divert disaster Gu was no exception.
In the history of Gu Masters, there were many instances of Gu Immortals helping out during the tribulation, and eventually the backlash destroying their Immortal Gu.
Except that most people were ignorant and did not know such secrets.
"Divert disaster Gu is one of the foundational pieces of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, it is used for Imperial Court blessed land to divert away disasters. Without it, Imperial Court blessed land would face terrifying earthly calamities and heavenly tributations. Giant Sun's will would not sacrifice such a precious Gu for Tai Bai Yun Sheng, that means the reinforcement of Giant Sun's will is limited… What happens now is most crucial, it will depend on Tai Bai Yun Sheng, whether he can quickly survive the calamity and tribulation in the immortal aperture." Fang Yuan was expressionless as he sat on the azure wolf king's back, watching with growing tension.
After all, landscape as before Gu was one of his main goals in coming to northern plains.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng's speed started to slow down.
He was facing troubles both in his aperture and outside of it, the land spirit was causing him harm, while the calamity and tribulation was forming in his own immortal aperture due to his mortal Gu's ascension.
This internal threat especially, it was taking away much of his attention, thus his reactions toward the outside world were getting slower.
Suddenly, his body shook, completely stopping his movements.
Immediately after, countless chaotic lightning balls flew towards him.
Divert disaster light pillar was shining brilliantly, it burst out and surrounded Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
"Now is the most crucial time!" Fang Yuan, Hei Lou Lan, Ye Lui Sang and others could see clearly that this was it, their eyes were shining.
At this moment, in Tai Bai Yun Sheng's immortal aperture, bright light exploded, engulfing the entire small world.
The aura of the Immortal Gu was spewing out like a fountain.
In that bright light, an Immortal Gu was rising up slowly.
It looked like a ladybug, it was fist sized and had a jade body. On its round back, there were natural markings, half was of rivers and seas, while the other half was of valleys and mountains.
"So this Immortal Gu was created by combining River as Before and Mountain as Before. It seems the effect is also the product of River as Before and Mountain as Before, but elevated." Tai Bai Yun Sheng analyzed.
This was refined during the resonance of heaven and earth, it was not refined by him personally, thus, he was still unclear towards the effect of Landscape as Before.
After looking at it for a few breaths' time, Tai Bai Yun Sheng placed his attention on the most central area of the blessed land.
Immortal Gu Landscape as Before, it was not part of his goal, only an additional surprise.
Now at the center of the blessed land, man as before Gu had turned into a huge cocoon, but cracks were starting to develop on it. Dazzling rainbow light was leaking from the cracks.
Breaking the cocoon and becoming a butterfly!
As the thick cocoon vanished, a colorful butterfly fluttered into the sky. Wherever it went, rainbow light rained down, trailing behind the butterfly's path as a curvy rainbow was formed behind it.
"Success, Immortal Gu Man as Before! Ahahaha…" Seeing this, Tai Bai Yun Sheng was extremely happy, he laughed maniacally.
So many years of accumulation, so many years of anticipation and worry, so many times he had fallen into grave danger, but at this moment, he obtained a perfect result!
But his internal threat still remained.
In the immortal aperture, the azure tribulation cloud was rumbling, forming a huge green scaled snake, the snake had a silver horn on its head, and its body was hundreds of metres long, the snake tail had turned into qi, fusing with the tribulation cloud.
As for the ground, it started shaking, making loud sounds that resembled thunder, causing pain to the eardrums.
The newly formed earth burst out with cracks, as lava spewed out of it, the smoke was thick as trees as the surroundings withered.
"Heavenly tribulation — silver horn green scale python, earthly calamity — molten earth!" Tai Bai Yun Sheng's heart shook, facing both the heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity alone at the same time, he felt an immense pressure.
He placed his hopes on the Immortal Gu Landscape as Before.
"Come." He willed, as a bead of green grape immortal essence flew out, fusing into the landscape as before Gu.
The ladybug-like landscape as before Gu immediately flapped its wings, flying away like a flash of lightning.
Everywhere it went, in the surroundings, the land returned to spring as the landscape was restored to normal, back to the moment before the earthly calamity struck.
"Good Gu, good Gu!" Tai Bai Yun Sheng's heart settled, with landscape as before Immortal Gu, he had no fear towards the earthly calamity.
Hisss—!
The silver horn green scale python opened its mouth, making a shrill sound.
It shot out abruptly, its huge body bringing along a draft of wind, as it pounced on the landscape as before Immortal Gu.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng was nervous, although Immortal Gu had huge capabilities, those which were not defensive Gu were usually fragile. Landscape as before Gu was the same, if it was destroyed by the silver horn green scale python, Tai Bai Yun Sheng's situation would turn bad.
Thankfully, landscape as before Gu was born from his aperture during the resonance of heaven and earth, he could control it like moving his limbs.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng had deep foundations accumulated in his life, he quickly mobilized landscape as before Immortal Gu and escaped. The silver horn green scale python behind him had attacked dozens of times, it destroyed mountains and rivers, the earth was pierced and rocks were sent flying, as savage winds ravaged the land.
"Oh no! At this rate…" Tai Bai Yun Sheng was concentrating intensely, after a few breaths' time, sweat started forming on his forehead.
His eyes were shut tight, his body was still floating in the air, as the chaotic lightning balls crashed towards him.
But thankfully, due to the divert disaster Immortal Gu's light pillar, his body was protected.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng was unable to care about the outside world since long ago, but he had not forgotten his external threat.
This terrible situation forced him to cut his losses decisively.
"Eighty-Eight True Yang Building's reinforcement is limited, it might stop anytime. I can only do this… With man as before Immortal Gu in my possession, as long as I have time, there is hope! Cut, cut it off!"
Tai Bai Yun Sheng shouted in his heart.
Abandoning the territories to protect his headquarters, he gave up a portion of his immortal aperture, the sky began to cut apart.
The blessed land was the foundation and base of a Gu Immortal, cutting off the blessed land was like self-mutilation, it reduced their own strength and potential.
But Tai Bai Yun Sheng had no other choice.
Just like how Fang Yuan survived the earthly calamity back in Hu Immortal blessed land, in order to get rid of the blue charm lightning shadow, he discarded a portion of the blessed land, Tai Bai Yun Sheng also had to make such a sacrifice!
The blessed land's sky was shaved off layer by layer.
Along with the thick tribulation clouds, they were all sent out of his body.
Outside his body, it was Imperial Court blessed land, Frost Jade Peacock joyfully chirped as it devoured these blessed land fragments, to increase its own strength.
Giant Sun's will shouted in anger.
He was trying to protect Tai Bai Yun Sheng's life, but the latter was now fueling his enemy's strength!
Giant Sun's will had to protect him, because if Tai Bai Yun Sheng died, his entire immortal aperture would be devoured by Imperial Court blessed land.
Most importantly, divert disaster Immortal Gu was already full of cracks, if he reinforced Tai Bai Yun Sheng any more, the Gu might get destroyed from the backlash.
Divert disaster Immortal Gu was one of the foundation pieces of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, it could not be lost!
But if Tai Bai Yun Sheng died, it was similarly disadvantageous for Giant Sun's will.
At once, Giant Sun's will fell into a difficult predicament.

Chapter 612: Hoodwinking the Land Spirit
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
The sky in the immortal aperture started to peel off layer by layer, the dense tribulation clouds thinned out along with it. The devastating silver horn green scale python's body decreased to one-tenth of its original size, its might extremely weakened.
The situation was taking a turn for the better for Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
"Success is at hand." Tai Bai Yun Sheng's eyes were filled with tears when he opened them. The situation in the immortal aperture was already stabilizing, and he had the room to pay some attention to the external crisis.
The light of Divert Disaster was covering him, preventing the calamity and tribulation from touching him; Tai Bai Yun Sheng felt gratitude from the depths of his heart: "This is all thanks to Eighty-Eight True Yang Building helping me, otherwise I would find it difficult to even have a hope of succeeding… Eh!"
The light of divert disaster suddenly dissipated!
Tai Bai Yun Sheng was caught off-guard and was bombarded by the chaotic lightning balls, his mind immediately turning chaotic. He flew around in disorder, knocking into large numbers of chaotic lightning balls as he was unable to act for himself with not even a trace of reason left.
Everyone was shocked but before they could express it, Eighty-Eight True Yang Building burst out with an absolutely powerful absorption force again, directly capturing the hysterical Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
Giant Sun's will could not sacrifice divert disaster Gu and also could not let Tai Bai Yun Sheng die.
The best method was, of course, to throw Tai Bai Yun Sheng out of the blessed land. Unfortunately, only Frost Jade Peacock could do that in this situation.
Helplessly, Giant Sun's will could only use this inferior method.
This was indeed an inferior solution.
Under everyone's shocked gazes, the tribulation clouds and calamity dust surged explosively, shrouding Eighty-Eight True Yang Building! Countless chaotic lightning balls crashed down like a violent storm; while restraining smoke coiled around the tower like an immemorial giant python, continually seeping inside.
Eighty-Eight True Yang Building had brought in Tai Bai Yun Sheng, thus becoming the target for the heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity.
To protect Tai Bai Yun Sheng's life, Giant Sun's will chose to forcefully resist the heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity!
"How could this happen!"
"Lord Tai Bai Yun Sheng was brought into Eighty-Eight True Yang Building!!"
"How on earth does he deserve such assistance from old ancestor? This is a heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity we are talking about, they are extremely dangerous to True Yang Building!"
Everyone looked on with stupefied and shocked gazes.
Under the presence of the heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity, using Gu worms was asking to suffer backlash.
Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was a rank eight Immortal Gu house; in its essence, it was an integrated body of many Immortal Gu and countless mortal Gu. And now, it was forcefully resisting the heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity, the pressure on it was already enormous. And because of the force of the backlash, the coordination between the Gu worms had been affected!
It was clear, this was by no means a wise course of action.
However, Tai Bai Yun Sheng had become a crucial key in the fight between Giant Sun's will and Frost Jade Peacock; Giant Sun's will, forced by the situation, could only settle for such a method.
Inside Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, Frost Jade Peacock rapidly moved its wings, continuously dodging in between the gigantic trees.
Five Immortal Gu, with all kinds of flaming tails trailing after them, were pursuing and obstructing it.
Frost Jade Peacock was not willing to be sealed again and used all its strength to run away, gradually it lost its head and was unable to take the exact path, crashing into countless giant trees on the way.
Under Giant Sun's will's control, True Yang Building was a natural cage that could utilize the strength of any round, while Frost Jade Peacock was the bird in the cage. The giant trees turned into treemen, opening their arms to block it.
Caaaw—!
Frost Jade Peacock screamed shrilly as it suffered damage.
It tore apart the defense line of three old treemen, but its speed lowered greatly by this, and was caught up by a metal path Immortal Gu from behind.
A golden stream of light rapidly flowed on its body. The golden light condensed into a thick golden shell wherever it touched, firmly covering Frost Jade Peacock.
Frost Jade Peacock sensed it could not budge in any areas covered by the golden light; it was instantly startled and furious.
It hurriedly flapped its wings to increase its speed again. But the next moment, it was attacked by the second Immortal Gu.
An intense sleepiness invaded its mind, causing its eyes to turn hazy as it felt an intense urge to sleep.
Boom.
It crashed down head-first onto the ground, unable to fly any longer.
It had a premonition that its fate was to be sealed again; two rows of tears filled with grief and indignance involuntarily fell down from its eyes.
"Don't… even… think…" Frost Jade Peacock mumbled to itself, trying to use all its remaining strength to resist.
Although there was still the remaining power of Immortal Gu Gruel Mud on its body, the two Immortal Gu sealing it again were not restrained by Gruel Mud.
"Even if I die, I won't let you prevail!" Frost Jade Peacock gave off an intense suicidal will, and disregarding everything, it drew out the foundation of Imperial Court blessed land — heaven and earth qi, to intensify the heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity.
And it was rapidly weakening.
Imperial Court blessed land was born from a space path Gu Immortal, thus the blessed land's territory was vast, far surpassing any at an equivalent level.
Later, it was developed by Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, becoming a top-notch blessed land and also obtaining the ability to transit between day and night; it could be said to be at the doorstep of transforming into a grotto-heaven.
If it could swallow the time path Gu Immortal Tai Bai Yun Sheng's immortal aperture, space and time could converge which was the greatest supplement to Imperial Court blessed land. It was extremely likely for there to be a qualitative change which could allow Imperial Court blessed land to advance to a grotto-heaven!
If that happened, Frost Jade Peacock could break apart most of the arrangements of Giant Sun Immortal Venerable. Although it could not suppress Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, it would have the power to expel it out of the blessed land.
However, Giant Sun's will was truly too resolute and would rather suffer the damage from the heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity to protect Tai Bai Yun Sheng's life.
Frost Jade Peacock was only an obsession left behind after a Gu Immortal's death, how could it scheme against Giant Sun's will?
But it was also because of its obsession, it was brave and unyielding!
On the verge of being sealed again, it would rather be exterminated, and disregarding the consequences, it drew out large amounts of heaven and earth qi from Imperial Court blessed land.
These heaven and earth qi were like adding fuel to the fire; as they assimilated into the heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity, the sky rumbled with lightning, the chaotic lightning balls immediately expanded tenfold in quantity, and the restraining smoke had even more changes, its body inflated and its dark color turned even deeper.
Crack crack crack!
Lightning balls rained down like a storm, fiercely striking Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
Bursts of explosions sounded out; Eighty-Eight True Yang Building became filled with scars, the eaves of the tower collapsed piece by piece, and a crack even appeared on the outer wall.
Restraining smoke turned into an even bigger problem, becoming a deadly smoke calamity; it was much more powerful and seeped everywhere on Eighty-Eight True Yang Building's surface, gradually dying it black.
The pitch-black walls of the building seemed to have eroded for a thousand years, as they started to peel off.
"The heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity have become stronger!"
"This is too terrifying, retreat, retreat!"
"What is happening? Even the wind and snow from the outside world are pouring in!!"
Everyone started shouting in shock.
Frost Jade Peacock extracted large amounts of heaven and earth qi, injuring Imperial Court blessed land's foundation. If Imperial Court blessed land was originally a strong house, now the tiles and bricks were taken out, only leaving behind the framework of the house.
This caused countless holes to appear in it, connecting to the outside world.
And the outside world of northern plains was currently experiencing the blizzard of every ten years.
Divert disaster Gu was dormant, causing Imperial Court blessed land to suffer the invasion of the blizzard calamity as well.
Imperial Court blessed land was no longer a refuge; large amounts of wind and snow poured in, the temperature quickly dropped as the heavy snowfall flew inside. Although it had not reached the level of forming snow monsters, it was not too far away.
"Little sparrow, look at what a big mess you have caused." Giant Sun's will shouted in annoyance.
Blessed lands and grotto-heavens would attract all sizes of calamities and tribulations in every set interval of time. The larger their fortune, the stronger the calamities and tribulations.
The great snow disaster that wreaked havoc over the whole of northern plains every ten years was actually the calamity and tribulation of Imperial Court blessed land.
Imperial Court blessed land had Eighty-Eight True Yang Building and was also a peak level blessed land with territory that was at the size of a small world; the fortune it contained was gigantic, thus the calamities and tribulations it attracted were extremely terrifying.
Right now, divert disaster Gu was hibernating, while Imperial Court blessed land had connected outside to northern plains, causing the once in ten years blizzard to return into it.
Eighty-Eight True Yang Building could forcibly resist the frenzied attacks of lightning balls, the invasion of the black smoke, but it was unable to contend against the blizzard that could wreak havoc over the whole of northern plains.
If this situation continued, Imperial Court blessed land would erode and crumble apart due to the snow disaster.
Frost Jade Peacock did not need Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, but Eighty-Eight True Yang Building needed Imperial Court blessed land.
There was one way to salvage this situation.
That was to use divert disaster Gu to eliminate heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities and turn them into heaven qi and earth qi. Making Imperial Court blessed land take in these heaven and earth qi to stabilize its foundation, and close the connection with the outside world of northern plains.
Giant Sun's will could take the risk in forcibly activating divert disaster Gu. But to make Imperial Court blessed land take in heaven and earth qi required Frost Jade Peacock's cooperation.
"Asking this little sparrow to cooperate is simply an impossible dream!" Even if it was Giant Sun's will, this was a difficult problem.
He helplessly thought of the only way —"Unless Frost Jade Peacock acknowledges a pair of new owners…"
Giant Sun's will did not know that Tai Bai Yun Sheng's immortal aperture contained landscape as before Immortal Gu which could conveniently deal with this trouble.
He thought of another Immortal Gu he had — false emotion fake will Gu!
The condition for Frost Jade Peacock to acknowledge its owner was a couple who had true love for each other.
However, nothing was absolute, even the land spirit could be hoodwinked.
Giant Sun's will knew as long as he found two candidates to use false emotion fake will Gu on, he could hoodwink the land spirit and make Frost Jade Peacock recognize new owners.
Once Frost Jade Peacock was controlled, each problem could be easily resolved.
Moreover, this method was very favorable to Giant Sun's will.
If a couple who had true love for each other became the owners of Imperial Court blessed land, what would Giant Sun's will do if this couple did not obey his commands?
Instead of that, he would hold onto the initiative if he found two unconnected people to use false emotion fake will Gu on and satisfy the requirement to become the owners.
Because false emotion fake will Gu contained Giant Sun's will!
False emotion fake will Gu was subjected to Giant Sun's will's control. Even if the two unconnected people were disloyal in the future, as long as Giant Sun's will still held false emotion fake will Gu, at worst, he could once again select two new candidates.
'Little sparrow, you are a long way from being able to fight with me.' Giant Sun's will was shrewd and wise, inheriting some of the main body's intelligence; the seemingly desperate situation could not hold him back. With just some thinking, he thought of a way to resolve it.
He immediately mobilized Eighty-Eight True Yang Building's strength to inspect the candidates.
Right now in Imperial Court blessed land, everyone was running away from danger here and there, with many casualties appearing.
The situation was quickly worsening, it was so cold that one's spit could instantly freeze into a piece of ice. The majestic blizzard was pouring in without any pause, tall and formidable snow monsters started standing up from the depths of the snow, selecting targets to devour.
But this did not pose any difficulty for Giant Sun's will.
Eighty-Eight True Yang Building could plunder resources from the whole of northern plains, let alone two people that were right in front of it.
These two people would naturally be those with Giant Sun's bloodline, Giant Sun's will soon selected two candidates who satisfied it.
"Eh?" Hei Lou Lan's vision rapidly changed, he was at rank five peak stage, but he did not even have the strength to resist as he was absorbed into True Yang Building.
"Ahhhhh, save me!" Not far away, Ma Hong Yun was still running frantically and did not realize the changes in his surroundings.
Thud.
He bumped head first into a giant tree in front.
"Don't tell me this kid was running with his eyes closed…" Hei Lou Lan was speechless.

Chapter 613: Identity exposed

"Painful, painful!" Ma Hong Yun rubbed his forehead that had turned red, pouting as he got up from the floor.
"Eh! What is this place?" He discovered that the blizzard had vanished without a trace, he was surrounded by a spring-like warmth; it was not a world of ice and snow, instead it was a vast ancient forest.
Around him were gigantic ancient trees, hundreds of metres tall, so thick that even a dozen adults joining hands could not surround it.
The ancient trees were very tall, and their lush leaves covered the sky; rays of sunlight penetrated through the small gaps, forming a tranquil scene under the shade.
Compared to the outside world, this was practically a paradise.
"You are in the center of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building." A voice suddenly echoed within Ma Hong Yun and Hei Lou Lan's ears.
"Who is this?" Hei Lou Lan's pupils contracted.
Ma Hong Yun cried out in fear: "Ghost!"
He panicked and subconsciously ran to the side of Hei Lou Lan.
"Ghost? I am no ghost, if I could become a ghost, my affairs would be much easier to settle. Unfortunately I am merely a remnant will, inferior to even a ghost."
Giant Sun's will gave a sigh, and suddenly in mid-air, golden speckles of light appeared.
These speckles of light rotated slowly and suddenly condensed, transforming into an imposing body of light and shadow, similar in appearance to Giant Sun.
"Ah, you are!?" Ma Hong Yun stammered, his finger pointing towards the will of Giant Sun in endless shock.
Hei Lou Lan's pupils contracted, as the head of Hei tribe, he knew a lot. His complexion turned solemn and respectful; placing his hands on his chest, he spoke dutifully: "Descendant pays respect to Ancestor Giant Sun!"
Giant Sun sighed once again, and said: "I know the two of you are feeling confusion within your hearts. To make a long story short, this man broke into True Yang Building, undid the seal on the Frost Jade Peacock land spirit, and thus put Imperial Court blessed land on the brink of crisis."
As he said that, the golden speckles condensed into the image of Chang Shan Yin.
"Ah, it's Lord Wolf King!" Ma Hong Yun immediately recognized.
"It was actually him?!" Hei Lou Lan also could not help but cry out.
But Giant Sun's will immediately continued: "What you see is not his genuine appearance."
As he spoke, the image of Chang Shan Yin changed, gradually turning into Fang Yuan's true appearance.
"This is the true face of that person." Giant Sun's will spoke.
Fang Yuan disguised himself as Chang Shan Yin using the human skin Gu. This Gu was a mortal Gu, it was able to deceive people like Hei Lou Lan, but it failed to deceive Giant Sun's will.
Even though when Fang Yuan explored the true inheritance secluded domain in secret, Giant Sun's will was asleep. But within the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, there were many Gu worms that had recorded his actions.
Seeing the true face of Fang Yuan, Hei Lou Lan and Ma Hong Yun were unable to recognize him.
"So it turn out that this Chang Shan Yin was merely a fake! To actually infiltrate Imperial Court blessed land, he is extremely daring!" Hei Lou Lan let out a cold snort, sensing such a huge conspiracy, he could not help but be both startled and furious at once.
"He not only has guts, but he had also made ample preparations. Looking at the two methods he used to scheme against me, these are not something that one can accomplish on their own, there surely must be a larger force backing him. You two are my descendants; True Yang Building has been infiltrated by outsiders and is in deep trouble, I now need your strength." Giant Sun's will spoke.
Hei Lou Lan and Ma Hong Yun glanced at each other, both expressing their desire to cooperate with Giant Sun's will.
Giant Sun's will spoke concisely, in a short period of time, he was able to give a clear explanation.
"So it was like this." Hei Lou Lan came to a realization, and was now able to understand why True Yang Building helped Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
His heart jumped, Giant Sun's will's idea was for him to become Imperial Court blessed land's owner, that involved tremendous benefits.
"Imperial Court blessed land's ownership condition is special, the blessed land actually requires two owners. No wonder back then, when Giant Sun Immortal Venerable set up the sacred palace, he made it so that his empress could stay in it. He loved his empress very much, now it seems that the empress also had half the ownership of Imperial Court blessed land."
"Using false emotion fake will Gu to deceive the land spirit, this is quite a good idea. But this kid, how could he be selected to become Imperial Court blessed land's owner alongside me?"
Hei Lou Lan's eyes sparkled, shooting a glance toward Ma Hong Yun, concealing his deep disdain.
"Could it be that Ancestor Giant Sun thinks that he is an easier pawn to control?" Hei Lou Lan's gaze trembled, with Giant Sun's will present, he did not dare to do anything reckless.
Differing from Hei Lou Lan, Ma Hong Yun suddenly remembered something and shouted: "Wait a moment! Lady Xiao Yun and my wife Xiao Li are still outside, I do not want to be the owner of the blessed land, quickly let me out, I need to save them!"
Lady Xiao Yun naturally referred to Zhao Lian Yun.
His wife Xiao Li was Chang Li. Originally, Chang Biao, in order to coax Ma Ying Jie, allowed his adopted daughter Chang Li to be married off to Ma Hong Yun, consequently turning her into Ma Hong Yun's wife.
Giant Sun's will seemed to have taken a fancy to Ma Hong Yun, he laughed heartily: "Hahaha, caring for beautiful women, you are truly my descendant. Boy, once you become the owner of this blessed land, this will become your domain. Then, you will be able to have all the women you desire."
Ma Hong Yun stared blankly, before quickly shouting: "No, it's very dangerous outside, I have to go and save them both. No matter what this affair is, we can discuss it later. Release me outside, quickly let me go!"
"Foolish boy, relying on your own strength, you can barely defend yourself, how can you defend other people?" Giant Sun's will laughed. "Be obedient and stay here, cooperate and become the owner of Imperial Court blessed land. I will be the one to save your women."
Giant Sun's will moved rapidly without delay, starting to act the moment he finished speaking.
Great numbers of Gu Masters were in the True Yang Building, and almost all of them were Giant Sun's descendants.
These were his descendants, Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was built for their sake, as an inheritance for his descendants.
Naturally, not all of his descendants had the aptitude to become Gu Masters, Giant Sun's will had not made a move to save those.
Fang Yuan had a panoramic view of this scene.
"Giant Sun's will made a move, this time, many people were taken into the building." Within his mind, Mo Yao's will spoke.
Fang Yuan sat still on the back of an azure wolf king, floating at a high altitude in the sky, gazing at the distant sacred palace.
But it was a huge distance away from his original location.
The power of the calamities and tribulations getting more fearsome, Fang Yuan, in order to avoid the disaster, could only retreat.
In the surroundings of the sacred palace, the heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities continued to increase in power, the area was already extremely dangerous. This Frost Jade Peacock was putting in a last ditch attempt, even the once in ten years blizzard of the northern plains was attracted over.
Now the sacred palace had mostly been destroyed, the broken walls scattered in the wind, its former splendor nowhere to be seen.
Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was in a terrible state, it was wrapped in layers of heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities. Inside it were the chaotic lightning balls and restraining smoke, while outside was the raging blizzard that was getting stronger.
"Giant Sun's will has already awakened, he definitely wants you dead, it's a blessing that he isn't targeting you now; he absolutely won't come and save us. We should retreat and return to Water Pavilion. Within Water Pavilion, there is some immortal essence that I have left behind in the past, you can use them to move the Gu House. You can return to central continent, and when you return Water Pavilion to Spirit Affinity House, you will receive more benefits than you can imagine, there is no need for you to take a risk here." Within his mind, Mo Yao continued to coax him.
Things had already progressed this far, the entire Imperial Court blessed land had been affected, Giant Sun's will had already awakened, Water Pavilion was still hidden; while True Yang Building was suppressed by the heaven tribulations and earthly calamities, it was a great opportunity to retreat.
"Retreat?" Fang Yuan's eyes were cold and detached, his line of sight turning towards the glass owner token in his hands as he sneered softly.
He gripped the glass owner token tightly.
This was a crucial trump card he had not expended yet.
Central continent Gu Immortals left behind three methods to deal with Giant Sun's will.
The first was the Gu formation of special will Gu, effective in dealing with Giant Sun's will. The second method was a sealing Gu formation, which could temporarily seal the yellow apricot immortal essence left behind by Giant Sun Immortal Venerable.
The third method was even more hidden but had greater power, it could temporarily expel Giant Sun's will from the True Yang Building!
The glass owner token was the key to all three of these methods.
Now, both the first and second methods were already used, only the third method was left.
But this third method was much stronger compared with the first two methods, it could be said to be a trump card!
Especially at this moment.
Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was wrapped in heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities, once Giant Sun's will gets temporarily separated from the building, he would definitely suffer the fearsome attack of the heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities!
Mo Yao's plan was indeed mature and stable, but great risks come with great rewards.
Meanwhile, in True Yang Building.
Chang Li and Zhao Lian Yun were brought into the building by Giant Sun's will, appearing in front of Ma Hong Yun.
"Lady Xiao Yun, my wife Xiao Li!" Ma Hong Yun was jubilant, and dashed towards them.
"Husband!" Chang Li was happy to have escaped danger, and threw herself into Ma Hong Yun's arms.
Zhao Lian Yun also moved quickly towards Ma Hong Yun's side, her face also full of joy from having returned from death's door, she lightly kicked Ma Hong Yun's leg: "Foolish kid, unexpectedly, you were useful for once."
"Hahaha, it's only natural." Ma Hong Yun loosened his hug and cordially looked towards Giant Sun's will floating in midair, and expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, old ancestor."
Just as he said that, suddenly, a violent tremor occurred.
For a moment, the entire forest shook.
"What's going on?" Chang Li and Zhao Lian Yun both turned pale.
"Alright, enough nonsense, the heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities are getting more and more severe, eventually, even Eighty-Eight True Yang Building will no longer be able to resist. You must become Imperial Court blessed land's owners as soon as possible." The complexion of Giant Sun's will's changed as he spoke.
Bam bam bam…
A group of large treemen moved slowly, each footstep they took sounding like thunder.
The treemen lowered their waists, opening their branch-like palms, revealing the giant immobilized peacock.
"This is the land spirit of Imperial Court blessed land, Frost Jade Peacock!" Giant Sun's will introduced, while at the same time, false emotion fake will Gu flew towards the Frost Jade Peacock.
Hei Lou Lan and Ma Hong Yun stood before the Frost Jade Peacock, as the false emotion fake will Gu let out a yellow light that resembled a fog, gradually enshrouding Hei Lou Lan, Ma Hong Yun and the Frost Jade Peacock.

"Listen to my instructions. Hold your breath, be calm, be relaxed, and discard any superfluous thoughts…" Giant Sun's will spoke in a pensive tone.
Hei Lou Lan closed his eyes and slowed his breathing.
Zhao Lian Yun and Chang Li stood to the sides and did not dare to speak.
A light breeze blew, and the tree leaves rustled, creating a tranquil atmosphere.
Ma Hong Yun looked left and right. Suddenly seeing the Frost Jade Peacock, he was amazed, shouting: "Look quickly, the peacock is alive, it actually shed tears!"
The tranquil atmosphere was disrupted, and the voice of Giant Sun's will's stopped. Hei Lou Lan held his irritation, and angrily opened his eyes. He berated: "Nonsense, of course the land spirit is alive. When the land spirit dies, the blessed land will be finished as well. Why do you care if it is shedding tears or not, quickly follow the instructions!"
"Oh, oh. So, it's like this, my bad, my bad." Ma Hong Yun was shocked by the Black Tyrant's anger, he nodded quickly.
"Concentrate, clear your mind, don't think excessively, this is the best way to display false emotion fake will Gu's power to its limit." Giant Sun's will continued to instruct.
Hei Lou Lan closed both of his eyes and breathed gently, a light breeze blew, bringing with it the sweet fragrance of vegetation.
"Wait a moment, wait a moment!" Ma Hong Yun suddenly screamed.
"You despicable fellow, are you courting death!" Hei Lou Lan clenched his fist, an immense rage was building in his heart, he was outraged and anxious.
"Old ancestor, I am a man, he is also a man. Creating feelings between the two of us, I… I am unable to accept it!" Ma Hong Yun was afraid of Hei Lou Lan's terrifying aura, he whispered while being on guard against Hei Lou Lan, pleading with Giant Sun's will.
"You scoundrel…" Hei Lou Lan gnashed his teeth and clenched his fist until they made cracking noises, his eyes revealing an ominous glint.
Were it not for Giant Sun's will being right by his side, according to his brutal nature, he would have already sent a punch over, blowing Ma Hong Yun's brains out.
"Idiot! Saving the blessed land is the most urgent matter right now. So what if you're both men, just be free and relax, there will not be a problem! I will always support you!!" Zhao Lian Yun called out, she was fearful of Hei Lou Lan, yet simultaneously her eyes showed some unexplainable excitement.
"That's right, husband, look at the big picture, I… I do not mind it," Chang Li spoke softly in agreement.
Ma Hong Yun rolled his eyes and shouted: "Hey, this does not involve you so you can talk about it casually! Old Ancestor, I have an idea, how about you let me and my wife do it. Our love is genuine and sincere, you can even save up on using the false emotion fake will Gu."
Ma Hong Yun was straightforward, not giving much thought to the complex circumstances.
As far as Giant Sun's will was concerned, not using false emotion fake will Gu was out of the question.
Hei Lou Lan's killing intent burst out, Ma Hong Yun's proposal greatly encroached on his benefits, his anger was about to explode, almost reaching his limit, but he did not dare to attack in the presence of Giant Sun's will, he did not dare to flare up.
As expected, Giant Sun's will rejected Ma Hong Yun's proposal: "Boy, you are too young, true love, is it so easy to find? When calamity strikes, all the birds fly in different directions, human couples are also the same. Do you think this young lady truly loves you? Hehehe."
The words of Giant Sun's will made Chang Li's complexion pale.
Indeed, Chang Li had never sincerely loved Ma Hong Yun, originally, she was looked upon as a political bargaining chip by Chang Biao and delivered to Ma Tribe, intended to be used to form good bonds with Ma Ying Jie, but in the end, Chang Biao died, and Chang Li lost her backing. She could only accept her fate and stay by Ma Hong Yun's side.
Fortunately, Ma Hong Yun could cultivate to rank three, becoming a Ma Tribe elder, the resources he had available to him were incomparable to before, and as he also had Ma Ying Jie's trust, he could provide Chang Li with a good life.
Ma Hong Yun was to become one of Imperial Court blessed land's owners, and since he was close to Chang Li and Zhao Lian Yun, Giant Sun's will began to investigate them.
His investigative method was simple, direct, and effective.
He separated a portion of his will, and ventured into Chang Li and Zhao Lian Yun's minds, looking over their memories and thoughts.
With True Yang Building's support, along with the method of an Immortal Venerable, Chang Li and Zhao Lian Yun were not even aware that, at this time, each of their secrets were rapidly being learned by Giant Sun's will.
"Old Ancestor, what do you mean?" Ma Hong Yun pursed his eyebrows, he was foolish and brazen, while Hei Lou Lan did not dare to offend Giant Sun's will, he dared to ask a direct question.
Giant Sun's will laughed: "You are indeed a fool, boy. Your mind isn't that sharp, but it is excusable, I will now give you a lesson. This little wife of yours approached you with an ulterior motive, her adoptive father deliberately ordered her to come. Even your heroic action of saving this beauty was merely a show."
Chang Li's complexion immediately turned deathly pale and she trembled from head to toe.
Hei Lou Lan was indifferent, he was already accustomed to these dirty political games.
"How could that be?" Ma Hong Yun's eyes widened, unable to believe this.
Giant Son's will then said: "And there is also your little female companion, called Zhao Lian Yun. Hehe, she had matured young and gained some wisdom, she was forced by circumstances to had no choice but to be with you. From the very beginning she had looked down on you, only wanting to protect herself… Of course, now that you have grown stronger, she has gradually become dependent on you."
Zhao Lian Yun's heart went cold, her thoughts were exposed on the spot, making her feel extremely unpleasant, as if the clothes on her body had been forcibly stripped off by someone.
But facing Giant Sun's will, she did not dare to refute anything. She wasn't a normal child, she was a transmigrator, the suffering she had experienced in this life had made her aware of the mystery and cruelty of this world.
"Eh!?" Suddenly, Giant Sun's will's words came to a stop, and his image in the air showed an expression of shock and fear with his eyes wide open.
"To think, to think that!" Giant Sun's will's tone changed abruptly, he stared at Zhao Lian Yun with a hateful gaze, causing her to take a few steps back in fear.
"To think that you are an otherworldly demon! You are actually lurking by Ma Hong Yun's side! Hehehe, you have such guts, you are really daring. Unfortunately… you met me." Giant Sun's will exuded a strong killing intent.
"Otherworldly demon, what is that?" Hei Lou Lan was astonished, as it was his first time hearing this term despite his status and experience.
He looked at Zhao Lian Yun but could not see anything extraordinary about her.
"Old Ancestor, what are you trying to do!" Ma Hong Yun, no matter how stupid, could recognize something was wrong.
He sprinted to the front of Zhao Lian Yun, spreading both of his arms, protecting her behind his body.
"Boy, you want to protect an otherworldly demon?" Giant Sun's will raised his tone, his expression becoming ice-cold.
"What otherworldly demon! I don't know any otherworldly demon, I only know she is Lady Xiao Yun, without her help, I would likely have been killed already." Ma Hong Yun tried his best to defend Zhao Lian Yun.
Giant Sun's will shook his head and sneered. He had no interest in explaining, yet for some reason, he had to explain: "Killed? Boy, you are a person destined to become a Gu Immortal. Had she not helped you, there would definitely have been others who would have given you assistance. Otherworldly demons are enemies of the entire world, they are a huge menace! If we let them grow, the consequences would be unthinkable. In the past, there was an otherworldly demon who managed to grow successfully, the five regions were almost destroyed as a result!"
Hei Lou Lan's eyes widened.
The words of Giant Sun's will were too sensational. Listening to his words, it seemed as if the otherworldly demons could rival rank nine venerables.
How was it possible?
But the one who said these words was someone Hei Lou Lan had no choice but to believe.
For a moment, Hei Lou Lan looked Zhao Lian Yun in the eyes, killing intent emerging.
"No, Lady Xiao Yun is innocent, you must not harm her!" Ma Hong Yun was extremely determined, he wholeheartedly wanted to protect Zhao Lian Yun.
Zhao Lian Yun was stunned.
She looked towards Ma Hong Yun's lonely and powerless back, her eyes glistening with tears.
She did not know what bullshit otherworldly demons were, but could surmise that perhaps it was related to her own transmigration.
She forced herself to wipe her tears, the corners of her lips raising into a determined arc.
Since Ma Hong Yun wholeheartedly defended her, disregarding his own life, she consequently must not implicate Ma Hong Yun!
She took a step forward, stopping in front of Ma Hong Yun, she looked at Giant Sun's will, speaking resoundingly: "You want to take my life, come and take it."
"Good." Giant Sun's will had a ferocious smile, killing intent boiling with no trace of sympathy.
He was a huge will congealed by special will Gu, the difference between special wills and other wills were that: they could be given a special command by the Gu Master that would be triggered if specific circumstances were met.
And Giant Sun's will, during its formation, was given a profound resolve by the main body —— if it discovered an otherworldly demon, no matter the circumstances, killing the otherworldly demon must take priority!
Giant Sun's will had to kill Zhao Lian Yun, to have been able to restrain himself until now was already really remarkable.
"No——! Ma Hong Yun saw the situation going south, he shouted out in a moment of desperation, extending both his arms and hugged Zhao Lian Yun within his bosom.
"Otherworldly demon, you deserve to die without pity!" Giant Sun's will sneered, and started to make his move.
Yet the next moment, his expression became rigid, and shortly after he faced towards the sky and bellowed: "Damn it——!"
The roaring voice suddenly came to a spontaneous end, and the image of the will abruptly disappeared in mid-air.
Giant Sun's will could sense a formidable, hard to resist force, that pulled it outside of the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
"What is going on?"
"What happened?!"
No matter if it was Hei Lou Lan or Ma Hong Yun, both stared blankly at the spot, surprised by the turn of events.
Just a moment ago, Giant Sun's will was still brilliant and mighty, how could he suddenly disappear?
Outside the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, the golden speckles of the majestic will enveloped the entire True Yang Building.
Rumble!
Large amounts of chaotic lightning balls bombarded in succession, the lightning balls could cause one to sink into confusion and in essence attacked wills.
Giant Sun's will was restrained by the chaotic lightning balls, in no time the explosions put him in a tough spot, a portion of his will was damaged and destroyed.
Meanwhile, the restraining smoke took advantage of the situation, swallowing up the pieces of Giant Sun's will.
Giant Sun's will really was too majestic, though the outer shell suffered the bombardment of the heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity, the inner layer desperately tried to enter the building.
Eighty-Eight True Yang building, presided over by Giant Sun's will, was now an empty building, although the structure was intact, the Gu worms stopped functioning.
Like an army of soldiers suddenly losing their commander-in-chief, they can only rely on their instincts to act.
At this moment, Eighty-Eight True Yang Building had become exceptionally fragile.

"You little pest, I will kill you!"
Giant Sun's will was naturally furious at being subjected to such a scheme once again.
A portion of the majestic will was immediately sent flooding towards the distant Fang Yuan.
However, this torrential portion of will was weathered down by the chaotic lightning balls and restraining smoke in the inner layer, shrinking by thirty percent. And after being ground down by the outer layer's blizzard, it decreased by another twenty percent.
By the time it approached Fang Yuan, it had already been reduced by more than half.
"This can only last for about fifteen minutes." Fang Yuan turned a blind eye to the rapidly approaching attack, his mind was cool as ice, as he silently estimated the duration of this third method.
His thoughts moved while tightly clenching the glass owner token, and the next moment, he teleported inside Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
This was a feature of the glass owner token.
Fang Yuan had been able to move in Eighty-Eight True Yang Building without anyone knowing of it, because of this.
He appeared on an ice mountain, causing the torrential will to strike empty air.
It was a scene of white, the icy-cold wind brushed past his face.
Grrr!
Three-eyed snow rabbits, at the size of adult men, with bulging muscles, drilled out from the depths of the snowy land, surrounding Fang Yuan in a few moments!
This was the round that Tai Bai Yun Sheng had been transported to in Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
The snow rabbits kept on appearing endlessly and soon there were tens of thousands of them glaring at Fang Yuan.
Just based on close-quarter combat capability, these snow rabbits did not lose to wind wolves or turtleback wolves. Under the environment of ice and snow, their battle strength even surpassed ordinary wolves.
The large numbers of wild Gu living in their body further increased their ferocity.
One had to spend a lot of time and energy to break through their obstruction.
But Fang Yuan was in control of the glass owner token and did not need to use such a forceful method.
His thoughts moved and the glass owner token gave a faint glimmer.
The crowd of snow rabbits suddenly appeared to be at a loss, their killing intent instantly dissipating.
Fang Yuan waved his hand and they dispersed in confusion, drilling into the thick snowy ground, and before long, they were gone.
Fang Yuan was able to control many floors of True Yang Building with the glass owner token. He had intentionally held back before and did not use up the quota completely, saving several uses for later. Right now, he used it and immediately obtained control over this floor.
Without the obstruction of Giant Sun's will, he was this round's true controller and it was very easy for him to disperse these snow rabbits.
Crack…
A glacier split open, revealing a tunnel.
The tunnel directly extended down the inner part of the ice mountain.
Fang Yuan moved quickly in this tunnel and soon saw Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng was sealed inside an ice block, seemingly in a deep sleep.
He had been bombarded by chaotic lightning balls when he tried to pass the tribulations before, his mind sunk into chaos and he was not able to think. Thus, he was easily absorbed into the tower by Giant Sun's will.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng was not of Giant Sun's bloodline, and moreover was a Gu Immortal, therefore he could not be easily controlled. To prevent him from causing trouble and to seize the moment to handle the land spirit, Giant Sun's will took advantage of this to seal him here.
With a thought from Fang Yuan, the ice block dissolved and Tai Bai Yun Sheng slowly woke up.
"Chang Shan Yin…" Tai Bai Yun Sheng gradually regained his consciousness, he glanced around and recalled, before gazing at Fang Yuan.
Although he found Fang Yuan's cruel way of doing things very repugnant, he was grateful at this moment: "You saved me?"
Fang Yuan arrogantly smiled: "If not me, who else could it be? Tai Bai Yun Sheng, do you know you are facing imminent catastrophe?"
"Imminent catastrophe?" Tai Bai Yun Sheng's expression changed, but he was a famed character and was not scared by Fang Yuan's frightening words.
Instead, he slowly stood up and lightly smiled at Fang Yuan: "Please explain."
Fang Yuan looked at Tai Bai Yun Sheng with indignance and explained: "I was ordered by master to infiltrate into True Yang Building and release the seals on the land spirit, to overturn True Yang Building and take control of Imperial Court blessed land! Master gave me a glass owner token which can use three methods to deal with Giant Sun's will. But something unexpected happened midway, you suddenly advanced to a Gu Immortal and it was used by Giant Sun's will to weaken the land spirit, leading to the current peril. Did you think you were favored by Giant Sun's will? Hmph, he was only using you to protect True Yang Building! Now that you have lost your value, you were sealed up, and if not for me saving you, you would definitely fall into the control of Giant Sun's will, and end up in extreme misery!"
"What?" Tai Bai Yun Sheng's brows furrowed as he revealed a bewildered expression. Fang Yuan's words not only contained a lot of information but also were very impactful.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng stared at Fang Yuan, his gaze flashing with a bright light as his brows furrowed deeper: "I had been doubting why I suddenly received the help of Giant Sun's will, but later absorbed into True Yang Building and sealed up for no reason. Your words explain everything. But if so, who are you? Why did you save me? You might have released me from imprisonment, but it doesn't mean I will believe you unconditionally!"
Fang Yuan laughed heartily: "Who am I? Look carefully!"
He then took a step back and right in front of Tai Bai Yun Sheng, he used a knife to slowly cut his skin starting from his forehead.
A bloodstain extended down to his stomach, following the tip of the knife.
"What are you…?!" Tai Bai Yun Sheng was shocked.
Fang Yuan chuckled, he then held the knife behind his head and cut downwards. Using his hands in turn, he cut down a long wound smoothly.
The two long wounds soon exuded scarlet blood.
An intense pain attacked him, but Fang Yuan's expression did not change.
Next, he started slicing at his arms, thighs and other crucial areas.
His hand was steady as a rock during the whole process, his expression was indifferent as if the one being cut was not him but someone else, not expressing even a trace of pain.
"What are you doing?" Tai Bai Yun Sheng felt a chill down his spine and took a step back, doubts forming in his mind.
But the next moment, his pupils shrunk and his shock could not be concealed on his face.
He saw Fang Yuan clenching his teeth and peeling his skin off like stripping clothes.
His movement was neat and efficient, there was almost not even an inch of skin remaining on his whole body. Like a blood monster, there was only a terrifying human shape with scarlet muscles and snow white teeth left behind.
Next, Fang Yuan activated healing Gu.
Under the emerald light, new tender skin started to grow over his body.
The skin gradually covered all his body and after the emerald light dispersed, the one before Tai Bai Yun Sheng was Fang Yuan with his real appearance.
"Ahh! So you were not Chang Shan Yin, but were just disguised as him. You, who are you?" Tai Bai Yun Sheng might have a benevolent character, but he was not foolish; he immediately realized the truth when he saw this scene.
His heart was filled with extreme trepidation.
Looking at Fang Yuan in front of him, he saw the appearance of an ordinary youth, but the presence he emitted was beyond ordinary, especially that pair of dark eyes, like an ancient lake with unfathomable depths.
He was giving off the intense aura of rank five peak stage, his gaze as chilling as a knife's edge; Tai Bai Yun Sheng had seen countless people and one look at Fang Yuan told him, the latter was a genius character who was lofty, resolute and did not fear any challenges.
Even in all his life, the number of such people Tai Bai Yun Sheng had seen could be counted with his fingers.
"Who am I?" Fang Yuan chuckled, the corners of his lips curled up to reveal a smile, his expression was proud and vivid.
His burning gaze looked at Tai Bai Yun Sheng, his tone serious, containing an earnestness that made people want to subconsciously believe in them: "My true name is Fang Yuan, I came to northern plains from central continent because of an important assignment from master, we are fellow disciples."
"Fang Yuan? Fellow disciple?" Shocked and astonished feelings attacked Tai Bai Yun Sheng's mind: "What do you mean?"
"Hmph, you don't even understand the meaning of fellow disciple? It means my master and your benefactor is the same person, our relation is of fellow apprentices!" Fang Yuan's brows furrowed and his tone revealed some impatience.
There was no language barrier between Tai Bai Yun Sheng and Fang Yuan, he naturally understood the term, but he was not able to accept the great significance of it at this moment.
After he heard Fang Yuan's explanation, an image appeared in his mind.
It was an image of an old beggar.
With disheveled purple-red hair, occasionally he was insane, occasionally he was in a stupor, but when he was clear-headed, his gaze revealed one who had experienced vicissitudes over time and an awe-inspiring aura manifested in him.
When he was young, Tai Bai Yun Sheng had given the old beggar a bowl of water out of kindness.
When the old beggar became clear-headed, he gave Tai Bai Yun Sheng three Gu Immortal inheritances to choose from. The young Tai Bai Yun Sheng chose the third inheritance in the end.
This was the most profound memory in Tai Bai Yun Sheng's life and he had never forgotten it in all his life.
Many times, he had recalled the old beggar's image.
It was him who saved the lost Tai Bai Yun Sheng, pulling Tai Bai Yun Sheng from his lowest point. It could even be said the old beggar created Tai Bai Yun Sheng. Without the old beggar's help, there would not have been the current Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
"Master…" Tai Bai Yun Sheng mumbled, he had always regarded the old beggar as his supreme benefactor!
His whole body involuntarily trembled.
He had tried to scout out the traces of the old beggar, and had never given up on this. But so many years had gone by and he had almost roamed the whole of northern plains without making any progress in his search.
The old beggar was mysterious; suddenly appearing before disappearing again.
Now when Tai Bai Yun Sheng suddenly heard of the news of his benefactor, his heart was filled with excitement, joy and naturally was even more in disbelief.
"Listen well." Fang Yuan pointed at Tai Bai Yun Sheng and spoke bluntly, "Benefactor's name is Purple Mountain True Monarch, master has six great disciples. I, Fang Yuan, am ranked at fifth, I cultivate strength and enslavement path, both are from Gu Immortal inheritances."
"Purple Mountain True Monarch, Purple Mountain True Monarch…" Tai Bai Yun Sheng pondered over Fang Yuan's fabricated name like a treasure, his mind involuntarily thinking of the old beggar's disheveled purple hair.
"Master doesn't care about his appearance and likes to wander around, exploring the unknown. Before I came to northern plains, I heard him mention you and how he gave you three choices but you chose the most useless time path inheritance. Hmph, if it had been me, I would definitely choose the first inheritance, that fire path inheritance that could burn seas and mountains, it has such extreme power." Fang Yuan's tone was filled with anger, yearning and regret, his expression was sincere and vivid as if this had really happened.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng's mind shook. He had never mentioned this experience to outsiders. Fang Yuan, however, described the situation back then so accurately!
He naturally did not know Fang Yuan had once searched his soul to confirm if he had landscape as before Immortal Gu recipe.
"Then, you, you are my apprentice brother?" Tai Bai Yun Sheng's gaze towards Fang Yuan was a whole lot different now.
"Hmph!" Fang Yuan twitched his mouth in dissatisfaction, "At most, you can only barely qualify as a disciple in name, benefactor has actually taken in many disciples, but they cannot be compared to legacy disciples like me. But according to master's rule, as long as a disciple in name can advance to a Gu Immortal, they can become his legacy disciple. According to ranking, you are my… uhh… that… fifth senior brother."
"Huh?" Tai Bai Yun Sheng's brows slightly furrowed.
"Hmph, what are you being proud for! It is only because of your Gu Immortal identity, that you are ranked ahead of me." Fang Yuan coldly looked at Tai Bai Yun Sheng, "Wait till I become a Gu Immortal, with my enslavement and strength path dual cultivation, I will push you down and I will be your fifth senior brother! But looking at your elderly appearance, you clearly don't have much lifespan. I might not even need to become a Gu Immortal, I just have to wait for you to die of old age."
Fang Yuan's attitude was extremely rude, even revealing obvious resentment.
This was where the brilliance of his plan lied.
If he just spoke eloquent words and made a vow, that might not make Tai Bai Yun Sheng believe him too much. But it was because his words contained an attitude of rejection and also deep emotions, that made Tai Bai Yun Sheng quietly put down his guard and gradually choose to believe him.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng might be quite old, but his experience paled in comparison to Fang Yuan who had five hundred years of experience in his previous life.
Fang Yuan did not openly explain but using just a few words, he made Tai Bai Yun Sheng interpret the whole story himself and see a glance of his master's origin.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng muttered: "Then, sixth junior brother…"
Fang Yuan immediately put out his hand: "Don't call me that, I am not close to you! My task had been going smoothly but it was destroyed by you. Do you know how much time master had spent to make all the arrangements in Imperial Court blessed land? Now, the situation has changed like this, how do I explain it to master? You can just call me Fang Yuan!"
Tai Bai Yun Sheng was not angry at Fang Yuan's interruption, instead a guilty feeling emerged in his heart; he chuckled and cupped his fists towards Fang Yuan, asking sincerely: "Then… Fang Yuan, things have already reached this point, how should I help you to recoup the losses for master as much as possible?"
Success.
"Hehehe, spectacular, this is too spectacular, kid! You are truly insidious, tsk tsk, swindling a Gu Immortal to your side using just a few words!" Mo Yao had all along been observing this, and at this moment, she could not help revealing herself in Fang Yuan's mind to praise him.
Fang Yuan sneered inwardly, on the surface however, he showed an unhappy expression: "Heh, after such a long time, you have finally spoken sense! Master has a discerning eye, he did not nurture a thankless wretch. Knowing to repay kindness is a trait we should have. Hmm… the situation right now is very bad, the crucial thing is there is not much time left. I have already used the third method master left behind, you must cooperate with me now. It will all depend on the two of us!"
"Please instruct me." Tai Bai Yun Sheng bowed.
"First use this." Fang Yuan grinned and tossed out a fifteen year lifespan Gu.
"This!" Tai Bai Yun Sheng's expression changed, an astonished expression appearing on his face at the sight of this lifespan Gu.
"Use it, you may have Immortal Gu Man as Before, but that thing expends a lot of immortal essence. I don't want you to suddenly end up dead at the crucial moment." Fang Yuan spoke viciously, with an indifferent expression.
But Tai Bai Yun Sheng instead felt a warm feeling in his heart. In his previous five hundred years of life, Fang Yuan's grasp of the human heart was able to reach to pinnacle after experiencing many trials and hardships..
"This lifespan Gu…"
"My glass owner token can control only a small number of the rounds. True Yang Building only has a single lifespan Gu, quickly use it, stop wasting time!"
But Tai Bai Yun Sheng did not use it, he kept it in his pocket.
He thought of Gao Yang and Zhu Zai.
Until now, he was still feeling guilty.
The lifespan Gu in his hand had a scent of blood that was very familiar to him.
"What is going on with you?" Fang Yuan acted furious, pretending not to know.
"There are reasons…" Tai Bai Yun Sheng's eyelids drooped, he raised his gaze, looking at Fang Yuan with a determined look: "All in all, don't worry, I can provide you the greatest assistance!"
Fang Yuan grabbed onto Tai Bai Yun Sheng, gritting his teeth: "Bastard, do you know that I disregarded the consequences in using the glass owner token just to obtain this lifespan Gu?"
Tai Bai Yun Sheng was silent, his expression was gentle as jade, but he was very determined.
Fang Yuan's words made his heart feel great warmth, his last lingering trace of suspicion vanished like smoke.
After looking at each other for a while, Fang Yuan seemed to have felt Tai Bai Yun Sheng's determination as he retracted his gaze: "Hmph, if you did not become a Gu Immortal and are also a legacy disciple, I would not care if you died. Alright, according to the details of your inheritance and your tribulation performance, you should have the Immortal Gu Landscape as Before now, right?"
"Mm." Tai Bai Yun Sheng nodded: "Yes, that is correct."
Fang Yuan's eyes shone, his mouth cracked open to show his snow-white teeth, he did not conceal his joy: "Very good, come with me!"
Saying so, a large number of starlight firefly Gu flew out of his aperture.
"Oh, that's right, hold these two for me, put it on your aperture, I cannot bring them along." Fang Yuan tossed casually.
"Immortal Gu!" Tai Bai Yun Sheng's pupils shrunk.
A moment later, Tai Bai Yun Sheng and Fang Yuan entered Hu Immortal blessed land using the stargate.

Chapter 616: Repairing Dang Hun mountain
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
"Master, you are finally back!" Little Hu Immortal was already waiting before the stargate and when Fang Yuan appeared, she immediately jumped towards him and hugged his leg, rubbing it with her cute rosy cheeks.
"Hehe, you have worked hard during these days when I was not here." Fang Yuan smiled warmly and lightly stroked Little Hu Immortal's head.
Little Hu Immortal's fox ears shivered slightly, a blissful expression appeared on her face and her snow-white tail started shaking lightly behind her.
"This is… a land spirit? So this is a blessed land!" Tai Bai Yun Sheng stepped out of the stargate closely after Fang Yuan, and was startled at seeing Little Hu Immortal.
He had heard Little Hu Immortal addressing Fang Yuan as 'master'.
Fang Yuan was only a mortal, but he already possessed a blessed land! In history, there were some people who had such fortune. The most famous one was Giant Sun Immortal Venerable. He had luckily inherited Imperial Court blessed land when he was still just a mortal. And in his later cultivation journey, Imperial Court blessed land was of huge assistance.
"Haha, this blessed land's name is Hu Immortal blessed land. I seized it forcibly from several sects of central continent, under master's order." Fang Yuan proudly replied.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng's gaze immediately changed.
There was a difference between immortal and mortal, but right now, he was looking at Fang Yuan as an equal, asking: "I would assume that the process of snatching this blessed land was very dangerous, right?"
"Naturally, even now when I think of it, I still have some lingering fear." Fang Yuan laughed heartily, "But in the end, winner takes all, everything is just that simple. I obtained the blessed land, becoming the final winner. The greater the risk, the greater the profits!"
Tai Bai Yun Sheng nodded, sighing inwardly: this profit is simply too immense!
A blessed land with a land spirit was the immortal aperture of a fallen Gu Immortal. Possessing such a blessed land was akin to inheriting the Gu Immortal's immortal aperture and cultivation resources!
Simultaneously, the impression of Fang Yuan's audacious nature deepened by another level in Tai Bai Yun Sheng's mind.
"Master, who is he? His aura is strong." Little Hu Immortal sensed Tai Bai Yun Sheng brimming with Gu Immortal aura. She could not help but be tense, gripping on Fang Yuan's pants, appearing somewhat nervous and on guard.
"Relax, he is on our side, and is here to help us save Dang Hun mountain." Fang Yuan comforted Little Hu Immortal, "Take us to Dang Hun mountain."
Little Hu Immortal's eyes brightened upon hearing this. She trusted her master's words unconditionally.
She immediately let down her guard and disappeared on the spot, taking Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng with her.
The next moment, Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng were teleported to the center of the blessed land, the location of Dang Hun mountain.
Dang Hun mountain had already been deformed completely from the corrosion of Gruel Mud. Only a small mound remained of the lofty Dang Hun mountain.
Dang Hun Palace, which was on Dang Hun mountain previously, had naturally been destroyed.
"Master, if you arrived any later, you would not have been able to see Dang Hun mountain." Little Hu Immortal said with a sorrowful voice.
Fang Yuan lightly petted her head, then looked towards Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng was a smart man and from this scene along with Fang Yuan's previous words, he could guess Fang Yuan's intention in bringing him here.
He nodded towards Fang Yuan, before taking out landscape as before Gu from his aperture.
Immediately, the surging aura of an Immortal Gu filled the surroundings.
"This is?" Little Hu Immortal's bright eyes opened wide upon this first encounter with landscape as before Gu.
Landscape as before Gu was like a ladybug, it was the size of a fist and had the color of green jade.
Its round shell was engraved with natural patterns; half of the patterns portrayed rivers and lakes that twisted and turned, flowing continuously, while the other half was of mountains and hills, precipitous and overlaid upon one another.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng gave a soft shout; a bead of green grape immortal essence turned into a stream of light that instantly poured into landscape as before Gu.
The Immortal Gu suddenly burst out with green jade light that soared to an extreme height, giving off a radiance that people could not look at intently.
The light radiance covered the remaining Dang Hun mountain.
The corrosion of Gruel Mud on Dang Hun mountain immediately paused under the illumination of the green light. Immortal Gu Gruel Mud's power was quickly neutralized and then vanquished.
The green light gradually dimmed; Tai Bai Yun Sheng then threw in another bead of green grape immortal essence.
The green light brightened again, covering the devastated Dang Hun mountain and continually cleansing it.
The small mound sized Dang Hun mountain started to grow and strengthen at a visible speed under the radiance.
"Dang Hun mountain is changing back!" Little Hu Immortal clapped her little hands, prancing around happily.
But the good scene did not last long, Dang Hun mountain only recovered by twenty percent when the green light weakened again.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng's expression changed slightly: "What kind of mountain is this? It actually exhausted a green grape immortal essence!"
He was able to create thirty-six green grape immortal essence beads in his ascension to Gu Immortal. But later, using movement Gu crazily to dodge chaotic lightning balls expended one bead of immortal essence. Then in his own immortal aperture, to resist the heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity after the formation of Immortal Gu, he had continuously activated landscape as before Gu to restore his aperture to its previous condition, spending three whole beads on it.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng had a clear understanding of how precious immortal essence was; now he had just started to restore Dang Hun mountain but had used up two beads of immortal essence.
At this rate, he would have to at least expend five to six beads of green grape immortal essence!
Fang Yuan smiled: "Dang Hun mountain."
"Dang Hun mountain?" When Tai Bai Yun Sheng heard the name, his expression underwent a great change, his eyes opened wide and he spoke with a shocked tone, "Could it be?"
"It is indeed the one in The Legends of Ren Zu, how could there be another Dang Hun mountain?" Fang Yuan laughed.
"To think, to think I would actually be able to see the legendary Dang Hun mountain! This is the sacred land of soul path cultivators that Spectral Soul Demon Venerable had praised endlessly." Tai Bai Yun Sheng was extremely moved as he kept on exclaiming in admiration.
It was the first time even for him to witness a thing of such legend.
When he glanced at Fang Yuan, Tai Bai Yun Sheng's gaze had another subtle change.
He did not say anything else but quietly used a third bead of immortal essence to maintain the activation of landscape as before Gu.
This time, Dang Hun mountain was restored to forty percent before the green light dimmed.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng used a fourth bead, then a fifth bead and finally a sixth bead before Dang Hun mountain fully recovered.
"It is truly Dang Hun mountain, requiring six whole beads of green grape immortal essence to recover completely." Tai Bai Yun Sheng mumbled while looking at the tall mountain in front of him.
Dang Hun mountain was magnificently beautiful; ordinary mountains could not even compare to it.
It was a pink crystal mountain, emitting an unforgettably dreamy radiance.
"Mast… Master, Dang Hun mountain's disease has been treated." Little Hu Immortal's eyes had turned red, "Sob sob sob…."
She cried tears of joy, before lowering her head and using her delicate little hands to wipe the tears.
Fang Yuan also let out a breath of turbid air when he gazed at Dang Hun mountain.
Now, the objective for infiltrating into northern plains was finally achieved!
So many days and nights of effort, taking risks in the battlefields, disguising, racking his brains to scheme; they were all not in vain.
At this moment, a soaring fire burned in Fang Yuan's heart.
This burning fire had a name — ambition!
Restoring Dang Hun mountain could no longer satisfy his appetite. There were still opportunities left in Imperial Court blessed land!
Especially now, Giant Sun's will was expelled out of the tower; Eighty-Eight True Yang Building had become akin to an ownerless object.
Even if false emotion fake will Gu was an Immortal Gu and was difficult to capture, Fang Yuan had used his silver tongue to obtain Tai Bai Yun Sheng's trust, succeeding in roping in the crucial battle power that could influence the situation.
When the time comes, using a Gu Immortal's will, forcefully refining false emotion fake will Gu was not an impossible matter.
"Let's go, back to northern plains." Fang Yuan came and left just as quickly, with Tai Bai Yun Sheng in tow.
Before leaving, he handed burial soul toad to Little Hu Immortal.
Burial soul toad was a storage Gu used to store souls. There were souls of humans and beasts, and they had mostly been gathered by Fang Yuan from the battlefields.
These would turn into large numbers of guts Gu through Dang Hun mountain.
When they returned to Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, the starlight firefly Gu supporting the stargate were already spent by over half; Fang Yuan quickly stored what remained into his aperture.
It was extremely difficult to accumulate starlight firefly Gu. The current amount could only support one more activation of the stargate.
"We are back again." Tai Bai Yun Sheng was deeply moved.
In this trip, he had directly gone from northern plains to central continent and back to northern plains from central continent. It was truly a travel disregarding distance, he felt like he was free to go anywhere in the world!
Tai Bai Yun Sheng had only heard of hole earth Gu and connecting heaven Gu in methods that could allow one to connect between blessed lands and grotto-heavens; he had never heard of the method Fang Yuan used.
"Probably only people like sixth junior brother are worthy of such mystical methods. Maybe this was imparted to him by master." Tai Bai Yun Sheng trusted Fang Yuan even more after the trip to Hu Immortal blessed land.
Fang Yuan was only a mortal at the moment, but he possessed a blessed land, this by itself was sufficient to prove many issues.
Dang Hun mountain's magnificent scene was even more deeply imprinted in Tai Bai Yun Sheng's mind.
Seeing is believing!
Tai Bai Yun Sheng had no choice but to believe it.
Fang Yuan first revealed his true appearance, then used lifespan Gu, revealing secret information to obtain Tai Bai Yun Sheng's trust. Fang Yuan had also resolved the doubt in Tai Bai Yun Sheng's heart — why True Yang Building had helped him endure the tribulation for no rhyme or reason.
Fang Yuan's words and the evidence he showed to Tai Bai Yun Sheng were almost all true, except the lies at the crucial points.
Nine truths and one lie; the lie would eventually become the truth. Especially when this lie involved the deepest secret of Tai Bai Yun Sheng. Tai Bai Yun Sheng had never revealed it to outsiders while Fang Yuan knew it by soul searching.
Among all these, the true marvel lied in Fang Yuan grasping Tai Bai Yun Sheng's psychology completely.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng had been feeling extreme guilt after betraying Gao Yang and Zhu Zai; he denied the value of his own existence. Under stimulation, he went through Gu Immortal ascension and even charged towards tribulation, thinking of ending it all.
But when he successfully passed the tribulation and became a Gu Immortal, he stood at a whole new height, looking at a different scene.
His mind came back to life, and after passing the tribulation with much difficulty as well as getting his immortal aperture blessed land, he did not want to die anymore.
He wanted to make a fresh start.
But he had an unresolved matter tugging his heart.
He needed hope, he needed acknowledgement!
Tai Bai Yun Sheng himself was not aware of this psychological need. But Fang Yuan was aware and gave him this acknowledgement.
Fang Yuan's acknowledgement, in a certain way, represented his master's acknowledgement.
And Tai Bai Yun Sheng respected his benefactor deeply. His master's acknowledgement made him feel there was value in him being alive. A mysterious force and a completely new environment attracted his interest.
He had been at the peak of mortals and had experienced all that the mortal world could provide, but in the journey of immortals, he was a child that had just begun to move.
The fifteen year lifespan Gu was in his pocket. He was no longer worried and guilty. He chose to believe Fang Yuan, not only because Fang Yuan explained everything and there were not many pieces of evidence he could contest, but even more importantly —
In the very depths of his heart, he wanted to believe in Fang Yuan!
Every single person who was cheated, was it because they were stupid?
No, it was only because they wanted to believe in it from the depths of their heart.
"Here, your Immortal Gu." Tai Bai Yun Sheng tossed Fixed Immortal Travel and flying bear phantom Gu to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan nonchalantly accepted them; this casual attitude towards Immortal Gu caused another ripple in Tai Bai Yun Sheng's heart and trust.
But he received a great shock when Fang Yuan brought out the glass owner token, as at the next moment, he appeared in another round.
Tall and ancient trees were everywhere. Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng were within a dense forest.
Roars and howls interlinked together, giant trees pulled out their roots and stood up, turning into tall treemen.
Within a few moments, Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng were surrounded by treemen one after another.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng had a grim expression; one treeman was nothing to him, but the number of treemen here was extremely astonishing, and to completely exterminate them would require him to pay a significant price.
But the next moment, Fang Yuan lightly waved his glass owner token, and this round immediately became under his control.
The treemen stopped moving forward, their killing intent gone as if it was never there.
While Tai Bai Yun Sheng was wearing a stupefied expression, Fang Yuan grabbed his arm and directly teleported in front of Hei Lou Lan and Ma Hong Yun.
There was already an enormous change in the situation here.
Frost Jade Peacock was half-lying on the ground, with Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun turtling up under its wings. Surrounding it were layers after layers of treemen unfolding mad attacks.
Hei Lou Lan was fighting nearby with false emotion fake will Gu resting on his shoulder.
He blocked the attacks of the treemen while also launching attacks at Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun at the same time.
But these attacks were blocked by the light barrier from Frost Jade Peacock before they could even reach their targets.
"Lord Hei Lou Lan, you are also being attacked by the treemen, your situation is the same as ours! We have neither hatred nor grievance between us, why must you try to kill us?" Ma Hong Yun shouted.
Hei Lou Lan snorted: "Didn't you hear what old ancestor said? Your girl is an otherworldly demon with a mysterious background and will be a cause of endless disasters, she must be eliminated! Who knows if she and the Chang Shan Yin impersonator are on the same side! Old ancestor was about to attack her just earlier, but suddenly disappeared due to some mishap. You have Giant Sun's bloodline, you are a person of northern plains; you are actually not able to distinguish right and wrong, you dare to shield an otherworldly demon!"
Ma Hong Yun was furious and immediately retorted: "She is not an otherworldly demon that you all claim, she is innocent! Lord Hei Lou Lan, don't waste your strength in vain, we have already received the land spirit's recognition; with the land spirit with us, you can't kill us!"
When Giant Sun's will was thrown out of the tower, this round did not have any controller and operated by itself; the treemen treated the land spirit, Ma Hong Yun and others as challengers challenging the round.
Hei Lou Lan wanted to kill Zhao Lian Yun in place of Giant Sun's will. Ma Hong Yun was ready to give up his life to save her, which strongly shook Zhao Lian Yun's heart and she started feeling true love for him.
Ma Hong Yun had already treated Zhao Lian Yun with earnest feelings; the two loved each other, and the land spirit acknowledged them as its masters by its own accord.
In this dangerous situation, the land spirit raised a defensive barrier around them, protecting them from the fatal attacks of the treemen and Hei Lou Lan.
As for Chang Li, she had already died miserably under the attacks of the treemen.
Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng appeared on the crown of a treeman, observing the battle situation.
"Ma Hong Yun… he actually obtained the land spirit's recognition. Hmph, this kid's dogshit luck is truly powerful." Fang Yuan mumbled with a complex expression.
"You know him?" Tai Bai Yun Sheng was somewhat astonished as he had not thought the grand Fang Yuan would actually recognize this rank three initial stage minor character.
"It is you!" Hei Lou Lan quickly sensed the distant Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng; his eyes opened wide as he swiftly jumped back like he was facing a great enemy.
His eyes twitched and his heart had already sunk.
Giant Sun's will had suddenly disappeared, and the mysterious man impersonating Chang Shan Yin appeared with Gu Immortal Tai Bai Yun Sheng standing beside him, and the two seemed to have a very close relation at that! This was extremely unfavorable to Hei Lou Lan.
Ma Hong Yun, however, did not sense anything. The defensive barrier raised by the land spirit was shrinking constantly as it was attacked by the innumerable treemen. His and Zhao Lian Yun's sight were blocked by the dense amount of trees and leaves.
"What do we do now?" Tai Bai Yun Sheng asked calmly while casting a glance towards the gloomy Hei Lou Lan.
Fang Yuan sneered: "We need Imperial Court blessed land's land spirit, Frost Jade Peacock's strength to topple True Yang Building! Frost Jade Peacock might have already recognized its masters, but because Giant Sun's will is not present, the seals on it are not being manipulated and it is barely surviving. Most of its strength had already been sealed again. The defensive barrier is also on the brink of collapse and simply won't be able to block me. I will go kill Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun. You go deal with Hei Lou Lan and seize the false emotion fake will Gu, I trust that it won't be a problem with your Gu Immortal battle strength. Let's move, we don't have much time!"
"Immortal and mortal are vastly different, it is just like a wide chasm separates them. You don't need to worry." Tai Bai Yun Sheng lightly smiled, moving elegantly towards Hei Lou Lan.
Fang Yuan directly shot forward towards Ma Hong Yun.
The surrounding treemen followed him under his control.
"Such a pity… Ma Hong Yun, I originally wanted to use you as a key to control the events of the future. But who told you to block my way? No matter how good your luck is, your death is certain today!" The brimming killing intent in his heart surfaced as a malevolent smile on Fang Yuan's face.

Chapter 617: The reason for overwhelming fortune
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
Bam bam bam!
Three ten meter tall treemen raised their hammer-like fists as they attacked time and time again, crashing on the light barrier.
Frost Jade Peacock cried out sorrowfully.
Its huge wings were sealed by gold, only the land spirit's head was still exposed.
"My masters, I cannot hold on anymore." The land spirit sighed, its long eyelashes trembling slightly. The light barrier was getting weaker, and under the treemen's endless attacks, it was on the brink of collapsing.
What was more scary was, Fang Yuan was closing in!
Imperial Court blessed land was already in bad shape, and the land spirit, Frost Jade Peacock, was sealed, the remaining strength of the barrier was not a problem for Fang Yuan, he could break through it any moment.
The fatal threat had already arrived, but Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun still had no idea.
Even though they could not sense Fang Yuan, the thick aura of death was suffocating them.
Zhao Lian Yun was silent and did not speak, she hid in Ma Hong Yun's arms as she shut her eyes.
After all, she was an ordinary woman.
Ma Hong Yun continually comforted her in a soft voice, even though he felt no hope himself.
"It's over." Fang Yuan shot out like lightning, stepping on twigs and branches as he entered the innermost layer of the treeman encirclement.
But just when he was about to execute the finishing blow, as he was charging, Mo Yao shouted in his head: "Eh? This aura! Wait… stop quickly!"
"What is it?" Fang Yuan's momentum was lost, he stopped at a high area on a tree as he asked in suspicion.
Ever since Mo Yao's will entered his head, he had never felt such intense emotions from her before!
At this moment, Mo Yao showed herself in Fang Yuan's mind.
She had tears all over her face as her slim body was shivering, she was muttering: "This aura, this aura… there's no mistake, there's absolutely no mistake! This is the aura of fortune rivalling heaven Gu!"
"Fortune rivalling heaven Gu?!" Fang Yuan's heart jumped, as he immediately recalled.
Mo Yao had researched deeply about Eighty-Eight True Yang Building in her lifetime, taking a huge risk to enter the true inheritance secluded domain for her lover Bo Qing.
Her original motive was to obtain the supreme true inheritance of luck path, she wanted to steal the fortune rivalling heaven Gu in it.
But in the end, she only succeeded partially.
As she spent a lot of effort and exerted all her strength, she was able to create a crack in the luck path true inheritance.
However, fortune rivalling heaven Gu flew into this crack and vanished into thin air.
But Mo Yao did not return empty handed, she obtained a portion of the luck path inheritance's details. Combined with her refinement path grandmaster foundation, she eventually refined calamity beckoning Gu.
But calamity beckoning Gu was inferior to fortune rivalling heaven Gu, Mo Yao used it to help Bo Qing with his tribulation, and in the end both of them died.
Eventually, Fang Yuan found Mo Yao's inheritance and refined calamity beckoning Gu once again, accepting Mo Yao's request to return the rank seven Gu House Water Pavilion to Spirit Affinity House.
Now, Mo Yao felt the aura of fortune rivalling heaven Gu, this was a crucial Immortal Gu that she had failed to obtain after spending her entire life and putting in immeasurable effort.
It was understandable that she had become so agitated and emotional.
"Fortune rivalling heaven Gu's aura is on this lad! I can't believe it, I, Mo Yao, spent my entire life and nearly died in the secluded domain, but eventually the fortune rivalling heaven Gu escaped and this mortal lad got it by chance. Hehehe, is this life?" Mo Yao raised her head and sighed, as she laughed and cried, her tone was extremely dejected.
Fang Yuan squinted, his eyes glowing with cold light.
He asked in his heart: "That means fortune rivalling heaven Gu is currently on Ma Hong Yun? Can you confirm that?!"
"Of course, I can never forget the aura of fortune rivalling heaven Gu!" Mo Yao replied unhesitatingly.
She continued and said: "Fortune rivalling heaven Gu is a one time expenditure rank eight Gu. It is formless and ethereal, being in essence a lump of luck, it is extremely difficult to capture with ordinary methods. Back then, my main body could not capture it, thus it managed to fly away from the scene and vanish without a trace. Even True Yang Building could not trap it. It must've escaped to northern plains, roaming until it landed on that lad!"
"So it is a one time expenditure Gu…" Fang Yuan was extremely disappointed.
Fortune rivalling heaven Gu was the greatest treasure in Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's luck path inheritance, it had extremely great value.
Fang Yuan was unable to gain benefits in the true inheritance secluded domain, but if he could take fortune rivalling heaven Gu away from Ma Hong Yun, that would be the best.
But unfortunately, fortune rivalling heaven could only be used once before it vanished.
"Fang Yuan, you have to be careful! Fortune rivalling heaven Gu is extremely special, back then Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had fortuitous encounters endlessly, time after time he would turn disasters into blessings, he unceasingly had great luck, and he relied on this Gu to a great extent. Ma Hong Yun is affected by fortune rivalling heaven Gu, he is a true child of luck! His luck could be said to be ranked at number one in the five regions!! The luck that Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had back then would very possibly be replicated in him. Although luck is formless and ethereal, it is a part of strength and cannot be underestimated!" Mo Yao quickly said anxiously.
"I know what to do." Fang Yuan held in his killing intent, his expression turning cold as he stopped on the tree branch, not attacking abruptly.
He looked down from above, at Ma Hong Yun and others, allowing the treemen below him to attack.
Actually, the two were not too far from each other, but even Frost Jade Peacock did not discover him.
This showed how weak the land spirit was right now.
It was obvious at one glance that the two sides had great difference in strength, it seemed that victory was in sight, and killing Ma Hong Yun was extremely easy.
But Fang Yuan did not think so, he was once a Gu Immortal, his vision surpassed mortals.
He understood: These so called paths — wisdom path, refinement path, metal path, time path and others, they looked like they were combinations of complex series of Gu worms gathered together, but in actuality, they were the deciphering of one's understanding towards heaven and earth, towards the mysteries of the universe.
Luck path was the same.
Based on Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's example, one could see that luck path, even compared to other paths, could more deeply explain the mysteries of heaven and earth in some aspect.
Fang Yuan had never looked down on Ma Hong Yun, he had always been vigilant towards him.
Because his previous life's memories made him understand how high Ma Hong Yun's future achievements would be.
In his previous life, Ma Hong Yun became the pillar of northern plains, the leader that resisted the attack of central continent Gu Immortals! When Fang Yuan was killed by the barrage of Gu Immortals, he was still growing and developing.
Fang Yuan knew about Ma Hong Yun's growth, and now he finally understood the origin of Ma Hong Yun's heaven defying luck.
That was, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's greatest achievement in luck path — fortune rivalling heaven Gu!
And the cause of all this was Mo Yao who was residing in his mind!
Luck did not have any physical form, and it could not be touched, but Fang Yuan knew the ability of this mystical power.
"No wonder Giant Sun's will purposely chose Hei Lou Lan and Ma Hong Yun as the people to become the land spirit's master. Hei Lou Lan is the strongest person among his bloodline descendants, while Ma Hong Yun had fortune rivalling heaven Gu."
Fang Yuan felt that this situation was troublesome.
Although Ma Hong Yun was a tiny rank three Gu Master, he had the power of a rank eight Immortal Gu protecting him!
A rank eight Immortal Gu, only inferior to rank nine, such as the wisdom Gu and strength Gu of legends. It had absurd and unimaginable strength, anyone who underestimated it would face a pitiful end.
Fang Yuan was only a mortal, back then in the true inheritance secluded domain, he could not even get close to the rank seven human qi Gu, not to mention the rank eight fortune rivalling heaven Gu.
Ma Hong Yun looked harmless, but in all his experiences, when did he ever suffer a true loss? Every time, he benefited from difficulties and had endless fortuitous encounters, all those who wished to harm or kill him faced a terrible end.
Although every time he did not personally take action, but there would always be an external force or accident, along with a series of small coincidences, all of these added together to form a shocking power!
Fang Yuan suddenly thought of Giant Sun's will.
Earlier, Giant Sun's will wanted to exterminate Zhao Lian Yun, but Ma Hong Yun protected her with his life. This was as if Giant Sun's will had become an enemy of Ma Hong Yun.
Just as Giant Sun's will was about to strike, Fang Yuan appeared, pulling out True Yang Building and causing the heavenly tribulation to strike him.
"Even Giant Sun's will fell prey huh…" Fang Yuan looked at this from another angle and was shocked.
"I have the glass owner token, I can check the situation inside the entire Eighty-Eight True Yang Building. Why did I not strike earlier? Actually, it was completely unintentional! Or maybe… I heard that Zhao Lian Yun was an otherworldly demon and wanted to protect her, I was curious and wanted to investigate this?" Fang Yuan recalled the scene.
Giant Sun's will's was expelled from True Yang Building, he could be said to be the culprit. But the timing was too coincidental, it allowed Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun to escape death.
"If I suddenly attack Ma Hong Yun, would I be like Giant Sun's will, will an outside force intervene, or will an accident occur?"
Fang Yuan grabbed his glass owner token, considering his plans again.
"Wait!" Fang Yuan thought about it again: "What I've heard on this matter was only Mo Yao's statement. It seems to be credible, but what if she lied to me due to some special reason?"
Fang Yuan suddenly thought of this.
Thus, he asked Mo Yao in his heart: "Strange, earlier when I used luck inspection Gu, I observed the luck of everyone in the sacred palace. If Ma Hong Yun had the fortune rivalling heaven Gu, why did I not discover it? I could only see that the two with the highest luck were Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng."
Mo Yao seemed to have predicted this question, she immediately answered: "What's so strange about this? Fortune rivalling heaven Gu is a rank eight Immortal Gu, your luck inspection Gu is only a rank five mortal Gu, an investigative Gu that can allow a Gu Master to see luck despite its formlessness. How can a rank five investigative Gu discover the luck created by a rank eight Immortal Gu?"
"If I cannot see it, how can I be sure that Ma Hong Yun has fortune rivalling heaven Gu's influence on him?" Fang Yuan did not relent, he continued asking.
"Oh Fang Yuan, you are too suspicious." Mo Yao sighed, immediately answering: "There is a method to make sure. That is to use investigative Gu and check your own luck. Every time you act against the child of luck, because of the mutual influence between luck, your luck will become bad, or even worse. If you do not believe me, you can check it that way."
Time was limited, Fang Yuan immediately used luck inspection Gu.
His vision changed abruptly.
Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun's luck were rather tiny, they were the same as ordinary people.
Meanwhile, there was a massive black luck, almost three hundred meters tall, high enough to pierce heaven and earth!

Chapter 618: Great Strength True Martial Physique
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
This black luck aura was so dark that it reached the point of being extremely oppressive. The coffin shaped aura was tightly covering Fang Yuan.
Since an unknown time ago, the black aura on Fang Yuan had become much larger and much deeper.
Far away, Tai Bai Yun Sheng and Hei Lou Lan were engaged in an intense battle.
The luck aura of the two were exceptionally clear.
Above Hei Lou Lan was still the azure luck aura that gave a lasting feeling like a towering tree. The luck on Tai Bai Yun Sheng, however, was smaller than before, not even one-sixth of the original amount; it was no longer the bright burning red cloud, instead it was the shade of heavy evening mist that almost looked like a dark cloud.
Fang Yuan moved his sight back to above him and started testing like Mo Yao said.
Just like Mo Yao said, whenever he thought of attacking Ma Hong Yun, the black coffin luck on him enlarged a little and its dark shade seemed to become even gloomier.
"Fang Yuan, you should leave this troubled place as quickly as possible. The black coffin luck on you right now is too dense and too frightening. Your life is under great threat now! Don't underestimate luck just because it is ethereal, just think of Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's unrivalled powers. You are deep in danger right now, the black coffin luck has not worked its magic yet, but the karma will hit you eventually, it is only that the time is not ripe yet."
Mo Yao continued to persuade Fang Yuan.
But Fang Yuan coldly snorted and replied with a resolute will: "Asking me to retreat? Being scared off by merely bad luck? Hehe, how could that be possible!"
He narrowed his eyes, his lips slightly curled up, revealing his snow-white teeth as he looked down from the cover of the treetop: "No matter how bad the luck becomes, it cannot attack me directly. It will need to rely on external influences to kill me. Right now, at this moment, at this place, I want to see who can obstruct me!"
Killing intent surged and bubbled in Fang Yuan's heart.
He believed in the power of luck path, but he believed in himself even more!
He needed to kill Ma Hong Yun!!
He had to try!!!
If Fang Yuan cowered just because of luck, would it conform to his style?
Ordinary people would feel regret after facing the consequences, but he Fang Yuan would not feel any!
"Have you gone crazy? That is a rank eight Immortal Gu!" Mo Yao screamed when she felt the dense killing intent in Fang Yuan.
"Hehehe, precisely because the enemy is this strong, the battle would be even more interesting, wouldn't it?" Fang Yuan instead laughed freely. Right now, he no longer had short hair of Chang Shan Yin, but had long black hair that fluttered freely with the wind and his countenance revealed a crazed recklessness.
He was never against bullying the weak, but even more than that, he had the bravery to fight the strong.
How could one obtain a tiger cub without entering the tiger's den?
If he did not stake it all at this moment, then when should he?!
"Fate teases the turbulent sea, cowardly insects avoid waves and flow along the current. A brave man does not need much wisdom, there is not regret or pain even if his body crumbles." Fang Yuan mumbled before restraining his crazed mood, his expression turning tranquil. ( Updated by )
"Lunatic, you have gone mad…" Mo Yao continued to mutter.
Right now, Fang Yuan's killing intent had accumulated to the peak.
The black coffin luck aura above him subsequently inflated, expanding by three times within moments!
"Let me see who will save you! Fortune rivalling heaven Gu, let me look at your might."
Fang Yuan made a motion to attack.
BOOOM!
An explosion occurred; the majestic wind current it created formed into a strong gale that pressed on from a distance.
Hei Lou Lan was standing unstably; while Tai Bai Yun Sheng got up from the crater, fresh blood flowing from his mouth.
He looked at Hei Lou Lan who was floating in the air, shock apparent on his face: "You are actually…"
Before he finished his words, Hei Lou Lan charged at him again.
BOOM!
Ground shook and dust surged everywhere.
"Ten extreme physique." Fang Yuan's pupils shrunk as he muttered the answer in place of Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
He had never imagined Hei Lou Lan to actually have the ten extreme physique. And from the looks of it, it was extremely likely to be the great strength true martial physique of the ten extreme physiques!
Several breaths later, a shadow flew out from the dust.
It was Tai Bai Yun Sheng!
His hair was a mess, dust covered his face; his chest was caved in till it revealed the deathly white bones.
Blood sprayed out like a spring.
But a green light soon covered his body and the blood-flow immediately stopped; the heavy injuries on his body also quickly recovered.
Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng had exchanged intel back at Hu Immortal blessed land. And he knew Tai Bai Yun Sheng possessed two Immortal Gu, landscape as before Gu and man as before Gu.
However, Tai Bai Yun Sheng was clearly not using the Immortal Gu Man as Before, but instead ordinary healing Gu.
Immortal Gu Man as Before required immortal essence to be activated, and had extremely great effects, but it was not easy to gather immortal essence. Thus, unless as a final resort, Gu Immortals would not easily use Immortal Gu.
"Tai Bai Yun Sheng, you are a grand Gu Immortal but are afraid of me, a mortal?" A roar shook the sky and earth.
Hei Lou Lan flew to the sky and started hunting down Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
"Such an intense ten extreme aura… terrifying! Hei Lou Lan not only has the ten extreme physique, he is also already on the verge of self-detonation!" Fang Yuan was able to decipher many details right now.
Back then at Qing Mao mountain, Fang Yuan had relied on Bai Ning Bing's northern dark ice soul physique to cross realms and fight a strong enemy, and overturn the situation.
Bai Ning Bing was only rank three back then!
As the ten extreme physique's cultivation increased, the power of their self-detonation would increase sharply by many times.
The self-detonation of the rank five peak stage Hei Lou Lan would be beyond compare, so terrifying that even killing Gu Immortals would not be a problem!
Tai Bai Yun Sheng had a bitter expression on his face, with not even the slightest battle intent.
Previously, Hei Lou Lan's ten extreme physique was sealed by Immortal Gu Dark Limit, not leaking out even a trace of its aura.
Now that he had torn off the seal, his majestic aura would cause terror to emerge in one's heart.
He was now a large human shaped bomb, who would dare to approach him? What if he exploded!
Tai Bai Yun Sheng had just advanced to a Gu Immortal, wouldn't it be injustice if he was killed by the desperate Hei Lou Lan in his impending death?
"I had never thought Hei Lou Lan would actually have great strength true martial physique of the ten extreme physiques. And he has actually managed to grow to this extent!" Tai Bai Yun Sheng fled with astonishing speed.
He was a flying master and his cloud path Gu was also one of the better movement Gu.
Hei Lou Lan was hunting him down from behind but could only look helplessly as the distance between them increased further and further.
Rumble!
Hei Lou Lan was furious, suddenly throwing a punch.
This punch had terrifying momentum as it directly broke the sound barrier and burst the surrounding air!
Following this punch, a fist qi suddenly flew out, forming into a strength path phantom figure.
Fang Yuan had also attacked with many beast strength phantoms back in southern border, but the phantom that Hei Lou Lan summoned was not beast shaped, instead it was human shaped.
And this human strength phantom was a vivid image of Hei Lou Lan.
The obese body like that of a bear, the jagged snow-white teeth that were like daggers. A pair of triangular eyes which flashed with malevolent glint. It was truly a second Hei Lou Lan!
"Even if I combine all the beast strength phantoms I used back at southern border, they might not be the human strength phantom's match!" Fang Yuan's eyelids twitched.
He had extraordinary judgemental ability and immediately saw the extremely high battle strength that this human strength phantom possessed. It was full of spirituality; once it was summoned, it could chase the enemy of its own will.
This was the strength of rank five peak stage great strength true martial physique!
Simply terrifying!
But how powerful this strength was, Fang Yuan could not estimate it easily. Unless he personally went to battle and experienced it for himself.
But he was sure this terrifying battle strength had already surpassed mortal realm.
It could even be said that Hei Lou Lan was currently at a state that was half a step to Gu Immortal realm.
Ten extreme physique originally broke apart conventions, they were existences that could shatter opponents at the same realm!
Back at Qing Mao mountain, Fang Yuan used the ten extreme physique to survive an ordeal. But this time, the ten extreme physique was his enemy.
"If not for the fact that Gu Masters obtain a qualitative improvement in their body's defense when they advance to Gu Immortal, Tai Bai Yun Sheng would be in greater danger!"
"Tai Bai Yun Sheng had advanced to Gu Immortal just now, he has yet to accumulate the foundation of a Gu Immortal. Moreover, he is a healing Gu Master, but has to face against this tyrannical and battle-thirsty enemy like Hei Lou Lan…"
For a moment, thoughts shone in Fang Yuan's mind like sparks.
"The strongest advantage of a Gu Immortal over mortals lies in their unlimited primeval essence. But Hei Lou Lan's main cultivation path is strength path which relies on primeval essence the least among all paths and has the lowest primeval essence consumption. This advantage is thus almost non-existent."
"There is also Hei Lou Lan's killer move, it actually went in an innovative new direction, creating such a sentient human strength phantom. In just a short period, he has already created five to six human strength phantoms. These phantoms are anything but ordinary, filled with spirituality, they actually flanked and blocked Tai Bai Yun Sheng's retreat paths; this is truly unimaginable!"
Unleashing human shaped phantoms was not a surprising thing.
The crucial point was that he could create such intelligent human shaped phantoms!
Moreover, all of these human shaped phantoms had astonishing strength. The might of their strength and wisdom made even Fang Yuan feel apprehensive.
"No wonder Hei Lou Lan died suddenly in my previous life. So it was because he had the ten extreme physique!" Fang Yuan suddenly realized.
Although he had rebirthed, it did not mean he knew everything.
Right now, this unexpected twist disrupted his plans.
"Damn it…" Fang Yuan subconsciously tightened his grip on the glass owner token.
According to his original plan, he would have gone with Giant Sun's will's train of thoughts, using false emotion fake will Gu to subdue the land spirit and become Imperial Court blessed land's owner.
He needed to subdue false emotion fake will Gu first to accomplish this.
However, false emotion fake will Gu was one of the ordinary true inheritances and it contained a portion of Giant Sun's will in it. How could a mere mortal like Fang Yuan refine an Immortal Venerable's will?
Only Gu Immortal's will had such a possibility.
Thereupon, Fang Yuan used his eloquence to dupe Tai Bai Yun Sheng into become his ally; it was to make use of his will to refine false emotion fake will Gu.
But when he returned to True Yang Building, the situation had already changed beyond his expectations.
Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun obtained Frost Jade Peacock's recognition, becoming Imperial Court blessed land's owners.
Frost Jade Peacock's condition for recognizing its masters was a Gu Master couple who had to have true love for each other.
Ma Hong Yun was a rank three Gu Master, but Zhao Lian Yun was still a young girl and had not begun her cultivation journey yet.
However, she was still recognized as a master!
This showed the condition of 'Gu Master' was only speaking of aptitude. As long as the person had the possibility of becoming a Gu Master, they could receive recognition. In Fang Yuan's previous life, Zhao Lian Yun was a wisdom path Gu Immortal, she naturally had strong cultivation aptitude.
This small details were not worthy bickering over. In Fang Yuan's opinion, what he needed to do were two things.
First was seizing false emotion fake will Gu. It was on Hei Lou Lan, and Fang Yuan had given this task to Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
Second was killing Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun. As long as he killed them, Imperial Court blessed land would return to a ownerless state.
After completely these two matters, Tai Bai Yun Sheng could help Fang Yuan to refine false emotion fake will Gu and take control of the land spirit. Even if Giant Sun's will returns then, Fang Yuan had the capital to contend against him.
However, right now, none of these two goals were achieved.

Chapter 619: The might of overwhelming fortune
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
Hei Lou Lan revealed his true trump card, displaying he had one of the ten extreme physiques and was close to self-detonation, it had shocking battle strength, with him managing to suppress the Gu Immortal Tai Bai Yun Sheng, and he was chasing after him.
This was quite a shock, but after some consideration, it was nothing strange.
"If he doesn't defeat Hei Lou Lan, he would not get false emotion fake will Gu. Without false emotion fake will Gu, how will I subdue the land spirit? Damn it…" Fang Yuan gritted his teeth.
His plan was ruined.
"Is this the power of fortune rivalling heaven? The moment I wanted to strike, such an accident occurred!" Fang Yuan took a look at Ma Hong Yun, his expression turning grim.
For some reason, the killing intent in his heart intensified.
He crossed his arms, standing high up in the tree as his mouth showed a cold smile: "It is getting more interesting, fortune rivalling heaven… hmph, now that Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng are fighting, if I really want to kill you, what can you do to resist me?"
This time, Fang Yuan did not go personally, but instead manipulated the treemen.
The treemen at the most inner layer raised their hammer-like fists highly in the air.
Under Fang Yuan's manipulation, they slammed down at the same time.
Bam!
With a loud bang, Frost Jade Peacock cried out pitifully as its raised head fell onto the ground.
The defensive barrier that it had erected with all its effort was smashed, it turned into golden dust as it quickly vanished into nothingness.
Even the last obstacle was removed.
The closest treeman took a huge step forward, it stretched out its huge arm as it rapidly grabbed at Ma and Zhao.
Zhao Lian Yun shouted shrilly, while Ma Hong Yun held her in his arms, his back facing the treeman's palm.
"Die." Fang Yuan muttered, completely ignoring the black coffin luck above his head that was rapidly growing.
The treeman's palm was towering over Ma and Zhou, it only needed to squeeze lightly and Ma and Zhao would turn into meat paste.
But at this moment!
A huge tremor occurred in Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
The entire place was shaking!
"Scoundrel, you dare to chase me out, quickly accept your death!!" A loud voice could be heard, piercing heaven and earth, and causing Fang Yuan's eardrums to feel slight pain.
Hearing this familiar voice, Ma Hong Yun raised his head in joy, saying: "It's old ancestor, old ancestor did not die, he is back again!"
Hei Lou Lan expressed joy similarly on his face.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng's expression was pale, if Giant Sun's will returned, Eighty-Eight True Yang Building would display the might of a rank eight Immortal Gu House, it could definitely trap a Gu Immortal, this was no joke!
"How can this be! Even though I spent some time inside Hu Immortal blessed land, but fifteen minutes was far from over." Fang Yuan's pupils shrunk to the size of a pin, he was very stunned.
He quickly used the glass owner token and checked the situation.
Outside Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, there were layers and layers of golden sand-like light particles.
That was the colossal Giant Sun's will.
He was still growling furiously, as he resisted the assault of the heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity, he constantly exerted pressure and attempted to barge into Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
"The Giant Sun's will that is outside did not come in. Then who is this Giant Sun's will here? Where did he come from?!"
Fang Yuan was very perplexed.
But this Giant Sun's will that just appeared did not want to give him time to think.
Heaven and earth shook, those which were running, those which were helping Tai Bai Yun Sheng, those which were standing in place, those which were trapping Ma Hong Yun, all the treemen stopped their actions, standing still like statues.
Fang Yuan's face was red, the glass owner token in his hand was hot like fire!
Cracks started appearing on the owner token, in just a moment, the glass owner token was on the brink of collapsing!
"Damn it!" Fang Yuan gritted his teeth, this mysterious Giant Sun's will was getting rid of the central continent Gu Immortals' arrangements rapidly.
The third arrangement that central continent Gu Immortals made was extremely hidden, it was not easy for Giant Sun's will to find it.
But right now, Fang Yuan had completely unleashed it, there was no way to hide it, this mysterious Giant Sun's will found it easily.
Once the glass owner token breaks, the third arrangement would lose effect, and the Giant Sun's will outside would be free to enter and exit True Yang Building!
By that time, even if Giant Sun's will did not use Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, he could easily kill Fang Yuan using his own ability.
An unprecedented danger had descended upon Fang Yuan!
"Don't tell me I need to use Spring Autumn Cicada? No! The risk of using Spring Autumn Cicada is too high, I am not at that stage yet! I have to persevere, I can still go on!" Fang Yuan growled angrily, he sent his will into the glass owner token.
Bam.
The next moment, through the glass owner token, his will clashed with the Giant Sun's will that had appeared out of nowhere.
Ugh.
Fang Yuan's body shuddered, he spurted out a mouthful of blood as the will he injected was completely obliterated!
His head hurt intensely, like it was going to break apart. His mind suffered a huge blow, as Mo Yao's will screamed continually.
Fang Yuan's body shook, he felt dizzy and could not stand, after enduring for a few breaths, he fell from the tall tree branch.
Swoosh!
Wind blew, as the three closest treemen suddenly stretched out their tree vine hands, grabbing at Fang Yuan with ill intent.
Fang Yuan lost the contest, Giant Sun's will had regained control of this round, thus, the treemen also became Fang Yuan's enemies, they would not rest until they killed Fang Yuan!
Because of this sudden event, Ma and Zhou escaped death, under the influence of their will to live, they started escaping blindly among the chaotic tree roots.
At the moment of danger, Fang Yuan was barely able to regain awareness.
He shouted lightly, injecting his primeval essence into his Gu worms, mustering his strength and punching and kicking the large tree hand that was coming for him.
Bam bam bam!
After three explosive sounds, the fists were shattered as Fang Yuan adjusted his balance in the air, landing hastily.
The aftermath of competing against Giant Sun's will remained, his ears were buzzing and his hearing was nearly completely gone.
But Fang Yuan had no regret.
In fact, he opened his mouth, laughing loudly: "Excellent!"
The earlier clash of wills was not elegant in the least, but it not only allowed Fang Yuan to keep his glass owner token, he even found out the truth about Giant Sun's will.
This newly appeared and mysterious will was not as powerful as expected.
He did not expect Fang Yuan to make such a choice either.
This will was split into three, the largest portion of it was dealing with the third arrangement, a small portion was busy fighting for the control rights of this round, while the last portion was victorious in the contest against Fang Yuan through the glass owner token.
In the end, Fang Yuan's injected will exterminated the victorious Giant Sun's will, and combined with the third arrangement, although his will was wiped out, he successfully caused harm to that large portion of Giant Sun's will.
Thus, Giant Sun's will was only left with a small portion that was controlling this round.
Giant Sun's will fell into extreme anger, he did not expect this tiny mortal to have the guts to challenge his will directly.
He did not expect that this mortal had stored so many wills in his mind either.
This was all thanks to Mo Yao honestly.
In order to deal with Mo Yao, Fang Yuan stored large amounts of wills in his mind as a back up.
He had special will, play will, deliberate will, keep will, heart will and others, he had a variety of many wills.
Giant Sun's will greatly underestimated Fang Yuan's capacity, and as he was anxious to save the situation, he was counterattacked by Fang Yuan and in the end, was caught off guard and suffered a great loss.
"Scoundrel, I will decimate your corpse!" Giant Sun's will was angered to his boiling point, he continued to manipulate the treemen to attack.
Fang Yuan dodged left and right, using all his effort to heal his injuries.
These treemen had thick skin and flesh, even if their branches, arms and legs were broken, they would not die, they had very strong vitality. It was not a good idea to fight them head on.
While he dodged, Fang Yuan's injuries recovered rapidly.
He quickly realized that the treemen were not only attacking him, but also Tai Bai Yun Sheng and even Ma Hong Yun.
More accurately, they were attacking Zhao Lian Yun who was beside Ma Hong Yun.
Ma and Zhao escaped under the pursuit of the treemen, they were in a dangerous situation.
They frantically escaped without a goal, but they actually got near to Fang Yuan.
"Please save us!" Ma Hong Yun finally saw Fang Yuan, shouting loudly for help.
"So naive." Fang Yuan laughed sinisterly, immediately going closer to him.
As the two sides got closer, Fang Yuan shouted loudly: "Giant Sun's will is trying to kill you, we have a common enemy, come here!"
"Be careful!" Zhao Lian Yun who was running showed hesitation and worry.
But the current situation was, only Fang Yuan could protect them.
They were unable to hold on much longer.
If they stayed, they would definitely get killed by the treemen, if they went to Fang Yuan, they at least had a chance of survival.
"Save, of course we'll save them! Quickly save them!!" In his mind, Mo Yao's will suddenly shouted. /
"What?" Fang Yuan thought he heard wrongly.
Mo Yao spoke quickly: "Do you still not understand? Giant Sun's will is a huge special will, he knows the power of fortune rivalling heaven Gu, his intention is not to deal with Ma Hong Yun. But when he was first formed, his main body had placed a rule on him, that was to exterminate any otherworldly demon he sees!"
"She's an otherworldly demon, don't tell me you are not interested! But the most important thing is — if you save that Zhao Lian Yun, it will be the best weapon against Giant Sun's will. Since Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun are truly in love, they will definitely be enemies with Giant Sun's will. By then, Giant Sun's will would be dealt with using the power of fortune rivalling heaven Gu."
Mo Yao's words were very moving.
At once, the hidden killing intent that he had towards Ma Hong Yun shrunk.
"Wait! Ma and Zhao are in grave danger now, they might get squashed or trampled by the treemen at any moment! If I appear now, wouldn't I be saving them?" Fang Yuan suddenly thought of this, becoming stunned!
Although Ma Hong Yun was rank three, he was too hard to kill!
The first time Fang Yuan's killing intent appeared, Hei Lou Lan showed his trump card, he unleashed his extreme physique and chased after Tai Bai Yun Sheng!
The secome time he had killing intent, Giant Sun's will came out of nowhere and gravely injured Fang Yuan.
And now, his ears were buzzing and his mind was weakened by at least thirty percent. Even though he protected the glass owner token and caused harm to Giant Sun's will, he lost control over this round.
Now, Fang Yuan had his third wave of killing intent, and Mo Yao was the one who stopped him! But the problem was, she made perfect sense! Even Fang Yuan himself was convinced!
The reason Fang Yuan wanted to kill Ma Hong Yun earlier was to change the land spirit's ownership.
But now that Hei Lou Lan showed his true battle strength and protected the false emotion fake will Gu, thus Fang Yuan did not have it. What use was there in killing the two?
"Don't tell me that this third time, the one stopping me is actually myself?" As he was struck by reality, Fang Yuan was tongue-tied!

Chapter 620: Stopped by himself?
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
Fang Yuan truly experienced the might of fortune rivalling heaven Gu now.
This was a form of helplessness, like being played by destiny, where one would not know whether to laugh or cry, and the more they struggled, the deeper they would fall into despair!
Forced by the situation and in order to avoid calamity, it seemed Fang Yuan could only choose to maximize his benefits.
The distance between the two sides rapidly shortened.
To save them, or not to save them?
Mo Yao repeatedly screamed in Fang Yuan's mind: "Save, save them!"
Reason also told Fang Yuan that saving Ma Hong Yun would make him stand on the same side as Fortune Rivalling Heaven and he could borrow its strength to deal with Giant Sun's will.
However!
There was a voice in Fang Yuan's heart. This voice growled, shouted and roared!
"Save!? Am I going to surrender? Am I going to lower my head? I can kill him with one slap! What am I afraid of? Afraid of these two trash? Even Fortune Rivalling Heaven cannot obstruct me!!"
Fang Yuan's ears were buzzing non-stop, but this voice kept on getting louder, gradually suppressing every other sound.
He felt bursts of intense headaches.
He felt his mouth go dry in front of these choices.
That voice in his heart, however, was getting louder and clearer till his heart started to tremor!
Every howl, every roar, every shout, seemed to throw a bundle of firewood into the fury in Fang Yuan's heart.
The burning flames surged!
That was the fire of ambition, his fighting spirit, his unyielding, obstinate spirit of challenging the strong!
The flames soared; Fang Yuan's eyes turned bloodshot, his blood boiled and surged like the surging waves!
"Come, let me send you off personally!" Fang Yuan spoke, his voice hoarse like sand gritting on iron.
He did what he would normally not do, going against his style of prioritizing benefits.
With a malevolent expression and eyes shining with sharp killing intent, he smashed apart the giant treemen in front of him, tearing the countless twisting and coiling vines.
He reached Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun.
Then…
He lifted his fist!
Before his punch even struck out, the terrifying fist aura already condensed into solid. The brutal killing intent almost solidified even the air!
"Ahhh!" Ma Hong Yun's eyes opened wide, never having expected Fang Yuan to have such resolute killing intent. He turned pale with fright, and in his panic, he unexpectedly stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Ouch!" Zhao Lian Yun had been holding hands with Ma Hong Yun, and was thus also pulled down to the ground.
This unforeseen event shocked Fang Yuan.
He was already extremely vigilant because of the repeated accidents. But he soon found that this small accident only prolonged the time he struck them by a little.
At the same time, two giant treemen also reached Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun.
No matter which treeman it was, it would only need one foot to crush these two to pieces. But Giant Sun's will truly did not want to harm Ma Hong Yun, and could only mobilize vines to scuttle to Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun, to separate them and then kill Zhao Lian Yun!
Five treemen suddenly pierced out of the ground at this moment and coincidentally blocked Fang Yuan's way.
This strong defense required Fang Yuan to waste at least a dozen breath of time.
Giant Sun's will was using his previous tactics again.
At present, the extremely weak land spirit was already booted from the playing field.
False emotion fake will Gu was safe as it was being protected by Hei Lou Lan.
Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun might have become the owners of the blessed land, but as long as Zhao Lian Yun was killed, this connection would be cancelled.
At that time, it would not be too late to salvage the situation by using false emotion fake will Gu to make Hei Lou Lan and Ma Hong Yun the owners of Imperial Court blessed land.
Thus, Giant Sun's will was obstructing Fang Yuan from killing Ma Hong Yun.
"Damn it! This kind of feeling again, always at the crucial place and at the crucial time…" Fang Yuan gritted his teeth, and used all his strength to forcibly break through the defensive line.
Thud thud thud…
Thunder-like collisions occurred one after another. Fang Yuan was like a tiger let loose, his fierce offense directly breaking the treemen's defense.
The whole process only lasted less than ten breaths!
However, Fang Yuan also had to pay a heavy price. Three enormous wounds were added to Fang Yuan's body; one ran through his chest, another pierced his back, and another formed a bloody hole on his stomach with the size of a baby's fist.
His right forearm was severely fractured, his left leg was twisted grotesquely to the side.
"Hahaha!" Fang Yuan, however, howled with laughter!
He could not use his hand and leg for a while, but he still had movement Gu, he could still fly!
He rapidly chased after Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun through the air.
Ma Hong Yun hunched over, protecting Zhao Lian Yun tightly under him. Vines were coiling around them from outside.
These vines wanted to separate the two without harming Ma Hong Yun.
Ma Hong Yun faced off against the vines. But naturally, he was weaker and looked on as he and Zhao Lian Yun were forcibly separated. He bit his lips and glared with furious eyes, but he was powerless!
"No—!" He roared with bloodshot eyes. Despair and pain filled him as he saw his lover about to die in front of him, appearing like a beast forced into a corner.
"Save him quickly, now is the best time to save him! As long as you save them, Ma Hong Yun will definitely feel grateful to you, you can then borrow the strength of his fortune that rivals heaven! Just think, why is Giant Sun's will not killing Ma Hong Yun – it is to use his luck!!" Mo Yao shouted again, persuading Fang Yuan. / update by
"You really speak a lot of nonsense." Fang Yuan replied with ruthless coldness.
Success was in front of him, but he instead calmed down, he had no expression on his face, not even the previous malevolent look.
"Die!"
When Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun was in his range, Fang Yuan immediately struck out with a fatal attack.
This attack had earth-shattering power, bursting all the air in front of it.
The incomparably violent power was like an evil dragon rising to heaven, as it shrouded over Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun.
"No!" This time, it was Giant Sun's will who let out a helpless and desperate shout.
He immediately mobilized the surrounding treemen to use their own bodies to protect Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun.
The tree vines no longer separated the two, instead they attempted to rapidly evacuate them.
But Giant Sun's will was still feeling dejected.
He knew all these would be of no use. This strike filled with Fang Yuan's pent-up wrath, how could it be so easily blocked and avoided?
The treemen's trunks were smashed apart, the vines also did not have enough time to evacuate Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun. In the end, the attack that still had its peak offensive power was about to directly smash them into pieces.
Even though there were countless treemen filling the vast forest, it was all too late!
Fang Yuan was resolute, erupting with all his strength to break through the defensive line and succeeded in grabbing the crucial moment.
The treemen's movement was slow and they were not good at providing swift reinforcement.
Ma Hong Yun was definitely dead meat!
At this moment, not only Fang Yuan, even Giant Sun's will also thought this so.
Not only did they think so, even Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun did not have any hope of surviving the attack.
Any factors that could influence the situation had seemingly already played their part.
Hei Lou Lan, Tai Bai Yun Sheng, Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, Giant Sun's will, Frost Jade Peacock, Fang Yuan, Mo Yao…
All these people or things had shown all their strength by this point.
Time seemed to slow down, Fang Yuan's lips curled up to reveal a smile: "Now, is there anything left that can save Ma Hong Yun?"
However, at the next moment!
Rumble—!
A loud sound rang out, causing huge tremors and making countless trees creak.
Dazzling golden rays of light shone over the whole round.
"Has Giant Sun's will entered True Yang Building?!" Fang Yuan turned grave, but soon discovered that was not the case.
Giant Sun's will was still taking a beating outside the building. Central continent's Gu Immortals had planned for countless years to create the third method; it could never be underestimated.
If not for this, central continent's Gu Immortals would not have been able to overthrow Eighty-Eight True Yang Building and return victorious in Fang Yuan's previous life.
The enormous golden light lump moved like a meteor and before the sound even registered in one's ears, it crashed onto the ground, instantly destroying the surrounding treemen and protecting Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun within it.
"This, isn't this — that luck path supreme true inheritance!" Mo Yao was so shocked she involuntarily screamed out.
"What's going on? Shouldn't this supreme true inheritance be in true inheritance secluded domain, how did it suddenly crash into this round and throw itself towards Ma Hong Yun's body?!" With no choice, Fang Yuan could only stop his footsteps.
He had already experienced the might of a supreme true inheritance in true inheritance secluded domain.
This was not something he could touch.
'But why, Ma Hong Yun is covered by this light, but why has nothing happened to him?'
For a moment, Fang Yuan could not help but feel extremely dejected.
He had used all his strength in his third attempt to kill Ma Hong Yun; he had even seen hope a moment ago, the success had seemingly been right in front of him, but he still failed in the end.
"Why did the supreme true inheritance move to Ma Hong Yun? Impossible, this is impossible!" Mo Yao completely lost self-control as she scratched at her head, causing her long hair to become messy, resembling a crazed woman.
This was not surprising.
She had suffered untold hardships, expended all her energy and effort but was only able to open a crack in the luck path true inheritance from which fortune rivalling heaven Gu escaped. Finally, she had no choice but to refine calamity beckoning Gu.
But this calamity beckoning Gu was not able to assist her husband, Bo Qing, causing her and Bo Qing to perish.
But at this moment, she was watching this luck path supreme true inheritance throwing itself at a rank three mortal!
Even if you had fortune that rivalled heaven, isn't this going overboard?!
'Why was it not me, I put in so much effort, paid such a huge price, why was it not me?'
'Why was it this mere mortal, a fool, a kid!'
It is a comparison that could make one die from anger!
Fang Yuan forcibly calmed down and tried hard to remove the unneeded emotions, reflecting on this event.
A bright flash of inspiration seemed to roam around in his mind, but was extremely hard to get a grasp on.
"I understand!" Suddenly, Fang Yuan's body shook as he grasped this flash of inspiration, and understood this seemingly impossible event.
This supreme true inheritance recognized Ma Hong Yun and not others as its master of its own accord. This was because, Ma Hong Yun had the power of fortune rivalling heaven Gu on him.
Fortune rivalling heaven Gu was the true essence of Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's luck path, the quintessential crystallization of luck path. To the supreme true inheritance, it was the leader and the emperor.
But why did the supreme true inheritance not come earlier or later, but chose this exact moment?
Luck path supreme true inheritance was located in true inheritance secluded domain, how could it come here for no rhyme or reason?
These two questions actually pointed to the same factor — Giant Sun's will!

Chapter 621: Fighting Hei Lou Lan
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
In the true inheritance secluded domain, all of the true inheritances had Giant Sun's will in them. Otherwise, how could all these fated individuals succeed in taking these inheritances, especially those Immortal Gu?
It was just like charging through rounds in Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
In every one of the rounds that had Gu worms as rewards, these Gu worms were all refined by Giant Sun's will in advance.
When these Gu Masters succeed and obtain the Gu worms, they are able to refine these Gu worms instantly and keep them in their aperture because Giant Sun's will was purposely letting them have the Gu.
Because of this reason, as long as a Gu Master is willing to give his Gu worm away to someone else, they can always create a phenomenon of 'instant refinement'.
Earlier, when Giant Sun's will was slumbering, the refinement of wild Gu worms was extremely slow. When Fang Yuan first ventured into True Yang Building, he made use of this loophole.
Every true inheritance was governed by Giant Sun's will.
The reason why the luck path supreme true inheritance did not fly towards Ma Hong Yun earlier was due to this.
But now the true inheritance flew into Ma Hong Yun's arms and made him its master, this was not Giant Sun's will's intention.
What Giant Sun's will wanted was to control Ma Hong Yun, why would he allow him to grow stronger and become more uncontrollable?
Thus, the truth was revealed!
Within the luck path supreme true inheritance, there was no Giant Sun's will.
Giant Sun's will retreated on his own, this allowed the supreme true inheritance to act on its own.
Thereafter, the newly created wild Gu will went towards Ma Hong Yun.
This created another question.
Why would Giant Sun's will retreat for no reason?
Fang Yuan thought about the second time he struck and was about to kill Ma Hong Yun, but out of nowhere Giant Sun's will appeared!
At this point, it was no longer a mystery.
Fang Yuan used the third method, temporarily expelling Giant Sun's will out of True Yang Building.
Afterwards, he entered True Yang Building and successfully convinced Tai Bai Yun Sheng to revive Dang Hun mountain.
After that he came back, attempting to control Imperial Court blessed land. During the second attempt when he tried to kill Ma Hong Yun, he was obstructed by a sudden burst of Giant Sun's will.
At that point, Fang Yuan was very confused.
But now, he understood.
This mysterious Giant Sun's will was pulled out of those true inheritances.
Giant Sun's will was anxious at that time, in order to salvage the situation, he took this step.
He almost succeeded by doing this, but unfortunately, Fang Yuan was too resolute, he directly faced off against him.
Eventually, this forcefully extracted Giant Sun's will was left with a final small portion that controlled this round.
"This means, the luck path supreme true inheritance was able to save Ma Hong Yun because of me? If I did not expel Giant Sun's will out of the tower, if I did not face off against Giant Sun's will, why would this happen now?"
"To think that this third attempt was thwarted by myself after all!"
Thinking so, Fang Yuan sighed deeply as his killing intent towards Ma Hong Yun vanished without a trace.
The current Ma Hong Yun was protected by the luck path true inheritance. As a mortal, it was impossible for Fang Yuan to break through this defense.
"Sigh, I told you to save him earlier, you refused to listen!" In his mind, Mo Yao calmed down and sighed in pity.
Her tone carried some grievance: "If you had saved them, you would gain Ma Hong Yun's recognition and become protected by the luck path true inheritance just like Zhao Lian Yun. The current luck path true inheritance is a newborn wild will, it is like a baby without any internal defenses. If you are inside the luck path inheritance, you will be able to learn about the details of this true inheritance! This is an immense opportunity, but you gave it up…"
Helping Ma Hong Yun would result in benefits. Dealing with Ma Hong Yun would result in Fang Yuan's current heavy injuries.
Fang Yuan snickered.
He already did it, there was not a bit of regret in his heart.
He quickly retreated while healing his injuries, meanwhile replying to Mo Yao: "Even if I cannot do anything to this luck path true inheritance, do you think Giant Sun's will would do nothing?"
This luck path true inheritance is one of the three supreme true inheritances inside the true inheritance secluded domain. Why would Giant Sun's will allow it to acknowledge a new master like this?
In Giant Sun's will's heart, it was not unacceptable to pass this luck path true inheritance to Ma Hong Yun.
But Ma Hong Yun's heart was with an otherworldly demon, that was a huge taboo!
Giant Sun's will was a special will, when the main body first created it, he assigned a special meaning for it to 'do its best to slaughter any otherworldly demon it comes into contact with'.
Now that Zhao Lian Yun was protected by the luck path true inheritance, if Giant Sun's will wanted to kill this otherworldly demon, he would need to remove the luck path true inheritance's hindrance.
Thus, the entire forest flew into a rage.
Countless treemen were uprooted, encircling the luck path true inheritance.
Large numbers of treemen were entangling with each other, all of their roots and vines were coiling around each other to form huge treemen, each were at least three hundred meters tall, their aura was shocking to Fang Yuan.
Giant Sun's will put in all its effort in order to kill Zhao Lian Yun!
Fang Yuan managed to retreat successfully.
Exterminating the otherworldly demon was Giant Sun's will's most important mission. With the appearance of the luck path true inheritance, his attention was drawn over.
Fang Yuan was a threat that ranked much lower than them.
Giant Sun's will also knew that he could do nothing to Fang Yuan now. Weighing the two sides, and because Giant Sun's will had limited strength, he decided to focus solely on dealing with the luck path true inheritance.
Very soon, Fang Yuan got close to the place Tai Bai Yun Sheng and Hei Lou Lan were fighting at.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng was suppressed, but Hei Lou Lan had no ability to claim victory either.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng was a healing Gu Master and a flying master, the former allowed him to specialize in drawn out battles, while the latter allowed him to escape like a slippery eel, he was hard to pin down.
The two's battle had turned into a stalemate.
The two fought from the sky to the ground, their attacks were fierce and the battle brought disaster to the nearby trees, causing the surroundings to be full of fallen trees and debris.
"Senior brother Tai Bai, let me help you!" Fang Yuan shouted.
'Senior brother', these two words triggered Hei Lou Lan as he immediately thought of central continent. That was because in the five regions, the other four regions were overwhelmingly family based inheritances, only central continent was dominated by a sect based system.
Hei Lou Lan's eyes were staring wide, as he screamed like a bear: "You are a scoundrel that had planned for a long time indeed! You two sect brothers have hidden yourselves deeply! Right now, since you are seeking your own death, I will grant you your wish!"
Saying this, he aimed at Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng and sent four punches at them.
The fist qi burst out, transforming into a human strength phantom in midair, having Hei Lou Lan's appearance.
The four fist shadows split up, one of them charged towards Tai Bai Yun Sheng, while the other three went towards Fang Yuan!
Fang Yuan was a mortal, Tai Bai Yun Sheng was a Gu Immortal, targeting the weakest link was a common strategy.
Three human strength phantoms attacked Fang Yuan, and the last one was to prevent Tai Bai Yun Sheng from reinforcing him.
"Quickly retreat!" Tai Bai Yun Sheng was shocked, he gave a quick warning.
He was very familiar with this strength path killer move's power.
He had obtained a lot of defensive Gu worms in Hu Immortal blessed land thanks to Fang Yuan's gift.
But after battling for so long, Tai Bai Yun Sheng's defensive Gu worms were mostly dead, he even suffered heavy injuries several times, it showed the power of Hei Lou Lan's strength path killer move!
Three human strength phantoms flew over with an imposing aura, whipping up a fierce wind.
"What a strong killer move!" Even Mo Yao's will in his mind praised upon seeing this: "Be careful, Hei Lou Lan's strength path killer move definitely surpasses your four arm earth king killer move!"
Fang Yuan snickered, he showed no fear but instead, oozed with battle intent, ready to fight.
"Of course I won't use four arm earth king, because I have an even stronger strength path killer move." Saying this, he paused for a while, before shouting: "Come, six arm heavenly zombie king!"
Bam!
A formless aura burst out.
The horrifying pressure flooded the surrounding area.
Intense pain could be felt, like surging waves, they attacked his heart!
Fang Yuan however, felt immeasurable pleasure, his body expanded rapidly, his skin lost its gloss and moisture, becoming dark and hard.
His defense rose rapidly!
In just a moment, he transformed into a six metre tall giant.
On his back, six huge monstrous arms grew out, the fingers were thick and scary, each having their own distinctive appearance, it made people feel fear upon seeing them.
Three human strength phantoms arrived before Fang Yuan.
"Good timing." Fang Yuan muttered, facing them head on with no fear!
As fists and legs clashed, they fought directly!
Bam bam bam…
Thunderous explosions occurred endlessly.
Be it Fang Yuan, or Hei Lou Lan's three human strength phantoms, they had great power and each of their blows tore through the air.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng had a worried expression, but after watching for a few breaths' time, his eyes expanded.
Fang Yuan was a mere mortal, but he could face off against three human strength phantoms at once.
The two were evenly matched!
But the three human strength phantoms had sentience, after failing to take him down, they started cooperating, pincer attacking Fang Yuan from his front, upper left corner, and lower right corner.
"Be careful!" Tai Bai Yun Sheng shouted to warn him, he had previously suffered greatly due to this.
Fang Yuan laughed heartily, displaying his grand demeanour.
He had previously activated his killer move, growing six monstrous arms, with his own two arms, he had eight arms.
The eight arms moved in a circular motion, the punches were executed like a fierce rain, it defended him tightly. He managed to completely block the three human strength phantoms attacking from all directions without a single weak point.
"He actually blocked it, this killer move…" Hei Lou Lan's heart jumped, his expression turned grim.
"Sigh, half an immortal's battle strength, this guy is a monster…" Tai Bai Yun Sheng saw this and sighed. He was surprised, and yet not surprised.
Thinking of his master, everything could be explained.
Thus, Tai Bai Yun Sheng's heart was at ease, he could concentrate on dealing with the human strength phantom fighting against him.
He waved his sleeve, and countless lights flew out from it.
Chainsaw wind blade, flame sword flash, azure blue water python, golden silk net…
Up to a hundred Gu worms were activated at once, they gave off a dazzling rainbow light, resembling fireworks.
The human strength phantom was covered by the smoke, its speed became slower, thus it immediately changed directions and shot out like lightning.
But Tai Bai Yun Sheng's attacks followed after it, it was unceasing.
A fireworks-like display of attacks were unleashed endlessly.
The human strength phantom had the ability to think, it knew how to fly in an arc, attempting to get close to Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
But Tai Bai Yun Sheng also retreated at the same time, while his attacks showed no signs of slowing down.
He was a Gu Immortal with near limitless primeval essence. If not for the fact that he had just become a Gu Immortal and had not made any accumulations, resulting in a low quantity of Gu worms, he would have hundreds and thousands of Gu worms, once used together, they would create a terrifying attack.
Human strength phantom could block most of the attacks, but under the flurry of attacks, it continued to be weakened, and the phantom was turning lighter and more transparent.
But Hei Lou Lan's motive had been achieved.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng did not have a strong attacking method, he could only weaken the human strength phantom slowly.
He was old and wise, but because he was vigilant and had never charged ahead courageous, it was difficult for him to be an effective reinforcement for Fang Yuan.
This was because of his nature, otherwise, back then, he would not have chosen the 'as before' time path inheritance from the three immortal inheritances.
However, even though Hei Lou Lan achieved his goals in this battle, he was unable to be happy.
That was because he realized — Fang Yuan did not need reinforcements!
Over there, Fang Yuan was fighting three human strength phantoms at once, both sides used attacks to counter attacks, the six arm heavenly zombie king's defense was truly astounding.
"Hahaha!" Fang Yuan got more ferocious as he fought, his punches and kicks were lively and their speed was increasing. In the end, his fist shadows turned into a black afterimage from his sheer speed!
The three human strength phantoms were expended greatly in the battle.
Bam, bam, bam.
Three explosions occurred, the three human strength phantoms could not sustain themselves anymore and were smashed to bits, turning into fist qi and vanishing.
Hei Lou Lan's pupils shrunk, but the battle intent in his heart surged like raging tides.
"Interesting, this killer move is very powerful, it is almost on par with my killer move. But most importantly, he has such rich battle experience, his physical combat skills can be said to be at a master's level! If it were others, they might not be able to unleash the power of this killer move to such an extent!"
Hei Lou Lan licked his lips, his eyes were shining with ruthlessness and excitement.
The earlier attack was not his full strength, he was only probing.
The battle with Tai Bai Yun Sheng was very annoying, because Tai Bai Yun Sheng was escaping most of the time, while Hei Lou Lan could not catch up to him, thus he could not use any of his strength.
Now that this Fang Yuan who was a tough opponent appeared, his battle intent naturally surged.
After destroying three human strength phantoms, Fang Yuan did not attack rashly, but instead floated in the same spot.
The two were about a thousand steps away, and their vicious gazes were colliding.
"Stop fighting, come over here and help!" At this time, Hei Lou Lan heard Giant Sun's will's instructions.
"But, old ancestor…" Hei Lou Lan hesitated, his battle intent was wavering.
Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's status in his heart was still very high.
This was not about personality, but because he had been influenced to feel the pride of his bloodline since he was young. This was a significant element in Hei Lou Lan's self worth.
"Forget about them. Killing the otherworldly demon and taking back the luck path true inheritance is most important!" Giant Sun's will replied quickly: "This is the only record of this luck path true inheritance that I left behind in the entire world. Even in Longevity Heaven, I did not leave behind any details regarding it. I am about to open the entrance to the true inheritance secluded domain, you will go and help push this luck path true inheritance into the secluded domain."
This round was already controlled by Giant Sun's will, the treemen filled the area like a sea. However, even though Giant Sun's will had the ability to break apart the luck path true inheritance by force, he could not do so.
Firstly, it took too much time, that could lead to unexpected consequences.
Secondly, breaking apart the luck path true inheritance was the same as destroying the supreme true inheritance.

Chapter 622: Grasping the biggest flaw!
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
The situation in Eighty-Eight True Yang Building twisted and turned with no end in sight.
Once the invincible being dominating the entire world, the ruler of an era, the rank nine Immortal Venerable Giant Sun; the terrifying will that he had specially left behind to take charge of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building….
The winner of the last Imperial Court contest, the current tribe leader of a super force, Hei tribe, possessing the Great Strength True Martial Physique of the ten extreme physiques, Hei Lou Lan….
Standing tall above the centre of northern plains as countless years of change were experienced, and yet imprisoned for hundreds of thousands of years – the land spirit Frost Jade Peacock…
A living legend, helping the injured for almost all his life, his benevolence and his name renowned far and wide, owning a Gu Immortal inheritance, advancing to a rank six Gu Immortal, possessing two mysterious Immortal Gu, Tai Bai Yun Sheng…
As well as.
The owner of Spring Autumn Cicada, ranked seventh amongst the top ten mystical Gu, the owner of Hu Immortal blessed land, a mortal who has possession of multiple Immortal Gu, a reborn five hundred year old demon, Gu Yue Fang Yuan…
Favored by rank eight fortune rivalling heaven Gu, a Gu Immortal in Fang Yuan's previous life who had successively inherited Giant Sun's inheritance and an opportunity left behind by Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable, becoming a great hero of northern plains who resisted the invasion of central continent, Ma Hong Yun…
Viewed as an 'otherworldly demon' by Giant Sun's will, Ma Hong Yun's wife in Fang Yuan's previous life who became a wisdom path Gu Immortal and an provided innumerable amount of assistance to her husband, the legendary woman Zhao Lian Yun…
And also.
The former rank seven Gu Immortal, a refinement path grandmaster, the thirty-sixth generation fairy of Spirit Affinity House – Mo Yao who had schemed against Eighty-Eight True Yang Building; the mysterious will she left behind following her death…
All these existences had their own thoughts with their respective goals. And on this platform of the collapsing Imperial Court blessed land, they collided and contended with each other.
They had their own advantages, abilities and also had their respective weaknesses and flaws.
These were all individuals overflowing with talents, they were elites or heroes of their generations. They were either proficient in scheming and strategizing, being master tacticians, or had immense strength or absurd luck.
The intense stimulation of life and death, the enticement of enormous benefits, caused these existences to perform to their full strength, using all their abilities and trump cards, perhaps betting it all and risking everything in a single moment, or strategizing to control the situation.
Thus, the state of affairs became clear from time to time, while turning indistinct at the next moment.
They had contended till now, but the situation was still chaotic. Only Frost Jade Peacock was pulled out of the game, while the others could tilt the whole set of circumstances with their every move and were not existences that could be underestimated in their influence to the final outcome.
Now —
The main part of Giant Sun's will had been forced out of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building for the moment by Fang Yuan's trump card, suffering the intense assaults of the heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity.
Giant Sun's will was the most powerful existence among those present. On one hand, his main portion tried to return to Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, and on the other, he took the risk of drawing out the sub-wills from true inheritances to seize back the control of the round, and then wholeheartedly tried to eliminate the otherworldly demon Zhao Lian Yun.
Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun had become the masters of Imperial Court blessed land by some twist of fate; they were also being protected by the luck path true inheritance and were safe for the moment.
Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng had made a temporary alliance, engaging in a round of probing confrontation with Hei Lou Lan.
Hei Lou Lan's battle intent soared violently and he was just about to fight Fang Yuan head-on, when Giant Sun's will asked him to leave and deal with Ma Hong Yun to take back the luck path true inheritance.
Hei Lou Lan hesitated, but chose to listen to Giant Sun's will in the end.
"I will let you guys off for the moment!" He glared at Fang Yuan before turning around and leaving quickly.
Fang Yuan looked on as Hei Lou Lan left, floating in the sky without giving chase.
"Huff huff…" Tai Bai Yun Sheng let out a breath of turbid air, flying towards Fang Yuan.
He might be a Gu Immortal, but he only specialized in healing and lacked large numbers of mortal Gu; his battle strength compared to ordinary Gu Immortals still had a great discrepancy. Through a prolonged battle, he had slowly worn down that human strength phantom to death.
"Hei Lou Lan is going to deal with Ma Hong Yun to retrieve the luck path true inheritance! Should we intervene in this?" Mo Yao's will immediately suggested.
This luck path true inheritance was a supreme hidden treasure left behind by Giant Sun Immortal Venerable. Back then, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable used it as part of his journey in becoming the ruler of an era, invincible within the world.
This luck path true inheritance held extremely large temptation to any Gu Master!
Fang Yuan's gaze slightly flickered, but he did not move, instead turning his sight to look at his left.
Not far from him, a whirlwind was forming.
"Careful, Hei Lou Lan's fist qi can still condense back even after being destroyed!" Tai Bai Yun Sheng warned.
Fang Yuan snorted, and with one step, appeared before the hurricane, punching it.
Boom.
A muffled sound rang out and the fist qi was scattered again.
The first aura was mostly dissipated, but the remaining fist qi still persisted in condensing back. But this quantity was rather small and was not able to condense into form.
"This strength path killer move…" Fang Yuan's expression was heavy.
Strength path phantoms were the long range attacking method of strength path, however this was the first time Fang Yuan had seen human strength phantoms possessing such spirituality.
This seemed to be an innovation of which no records existed in all the Gu Master history Fang Yuan knew of.
It could be even called as 'Hei Lou Lan's strength path phantom'.
More importantly, this 'Hei Lou Lan's strength path phantom' could condense back even after being destroyed.
This gave the feeling of a 'never-ending source of harassment'!
"Hei Lou Lan has certainly not used his full strength, if he can attack with twenty human strength phantoms at the same time, and the remaining fist qi can condense again, that power would be terrifying. If he can send out thirty human strength phantoms, then this strength path killer move can absolutely contend with your six arm heavenly zombie king!" Mo Yao's will evaluated with a grave tone.
"What killer move is this, do you have any impressions of it?" Fang Yuan asked.
Mo Yao's will slowly shook her head: "I am not a strength path Gu Immortal, this killer move also greatly involves soul path and qi path, in addition it has other pivotal mechanics. It should be a modern innovation as it is greatly different from ancient styles, I am guessing that this is an innovation of the current generation."
Six arm heavenly zombie king was researched by Fang Yuan and perfected by Mo Yao.
But there were no lack of geniuses in this world, it was not just Fang Yuan alone who could innovate a strength path killer move.
Of course, Fang Yuan specialized in blood path in his previous life, and had only cultivated strength path on the side.
Treemen flocked one after the other, forming a majestic green wave that attempted to drown Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun.
However, Giant Sun's luck path true inheritance was like a giant golden egg that firmly protected the two.
Giant Sun's will was concerned about the consequences of his actions; he truly wanted to kill the otherworldly demon Zhao Lian Yun, but also wanted to protect this unique existence that was Giant Sun's luck path true inheritance.
When he saw Hei Lou Lan near, he hurriedly transmitted his voice: "I will open the passage to true inheritance secluded domain, help me push the luck path true inheritance into it!"
Hei Lou Lan nodded. His whole body shook as he punched out with both his fists; fist qi surged out violently!
Boom boom boom…
Muffled explosions rang out in the air non-stop, the fist qi condensing one after another into Hei Lou Lan's strength path phantoms.
Ten, twenty, thirty… forty!
Fang Yuan's pupils could not help but shrink upon seeing this.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng's expression turned pale, revealing intense fear in his eyes.
Forty of Hei Lou Lan's strength path phantoms moved down together and surrounded the luck path true inheritance in just a moment.
A dark crack slowly appeared in the air above the luck path true inheritance. The crack enlarged till it formed a large and round passage.
This deep, dark passage was directly linked to true inheritance secluded domain.
Strength path phantoms shouted together before actually lifting Giant Sun's true inheritance slightly!
The surrounding treemen also moved their large hands to help. The python-like green vines coiled around together to assist in this.
Giant Sun's True Inheritance erupted with an intense and dazzling light; the treemen melted like snow, the coiling vines could not even last for two breaths before being destroyed completely.
Strength path phantoms also continued to crumble but condensed back a short while after.
Hei Lou Lan stood at the outer periphery; he was like an endless source of strength, striking out with large numbers of strength path phantoms one after another.
Under his effort, Giant Sun's true inheritance slowly left the ground.
At the same time, the round passage in the air also erupted with an intense force of suction, like a giant mouth attempting to take back Giant Sun's true inheritance into its belly.
"He can actually form so many strength path phantoms simultaneously! What kind of killer move is this?" Tai Bai Yun Sheng cried out involuntarily at this astonishing sight.
Mo Yao's will also said to Fang Yuan: "Your strength path killer move is specialized for close combat. Hei Lou Lan's killer move, however, is the exact opposite of yours, specializing in long range combat! This killer move is equally matched with your six arm heavenly zombie king. But in Hei Lou Lan's hands, the strength it can erupt with far surpassess yours by several times."
Hei Lou Lan was the possessor of Great Strength True Martial Physique of the ten extreme physiques, and Fang Yuan was not.
In the legends, Gu Masters who had Great Strength True Martial Physique not only had immense strength, their stamina would also never run out. At the same time, their self recovery ability was also extremely astonishing!
Any strength path killer move would erupt with strength that far surpassed their usual strength under the hands of Great Strength True Martial Physique.
"What should we do now?" Tai Bai Yun Sheng stood beside Fang Yuan, fixing his gaze at the contest of strength between Hei Lou Lan and Giant Sun's true inheritance.
He continued with a regretful tone: "This is a supreme true inheritance! Giant Sun's will is taking it back to true inheritance secluded domain, unfortunately Hei Lou Lan is there, so we cannot get a share of the action."
His tone contained the meaning of not being able to contend with Hei Lou Lan.
This was not surprising, Tai Bai Yun Sheng had a passive nature; a wise man looks after his own hide, he would not take extreme measures unless forced into a corner.
Fang Yuan looked at Tai Bai Yun Sheng and smiled.
"What to do?" He asked and answered himself, "Of course we go to true inheritance secluded domain!"
Tai Bai Yun Sheng was surprised: "True inheritance secluded domain?"
Mo Yao's will shook before reacting, almost slapping her own thigh at the sudden realization: "Right, there is no more of Giant Sun's will remaining in true inheritance secluded domain. Those true inheritances have become masterless objects!"
Previously, these true inheritances contained Giant Sun's will, thus one could only obtain the qualifications for the true inheritances by using an owner token.
But it was different now, Giant Sun's will had moved away all the sub-wills. Young wild will grew soon after in the true inheritances, and they only needed to be manipulated appropriately to refine them easily.
"But you don't have much time, Giant Sun's main will outside the tower is going to return soon. You will only be able to choose one true inheritance in this time." Mo Yao's will reminded, "Fang Yuan, you must quickly consider which inheritance you are going to choose!"
Tai Bai Yun Sheng also realized this and asked another crucial question: "This round is already controlled by Giant Sun's will, how do we enter true inheritance secluded domain?"
He had not even finished speaking when Fang Yuan took out Fixed Immortal Travel Immortal Gu.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng had held this Immortal Gu for safekeeping before, thus he was not surprised; but his gaze turned serious as he looked at Fang Yuan: "If I am not wrong, Fixed Immortal Travel can only carry one person, right?"
"You are right." Fang Yuan nodded, "So open up your immortal aperture and let me in. I will send you the image of true inheritance secluded domain through thoughts transmission."
Tai Bai Yun Sheng suddenly realized: "I almost forgot that I am a Gu Immortal!"
The immortal aperture of rank six and rank seven Gu Immortals was called a 'blessed land'.
Imperial Court blessed land, Lang Ya blessed land and Hu Immortal blessed land were immortal apertures; they had vast space and were akin to a small world. Tai Bai Yun Sheng's Tai Bai blessed land was naturally not an exception.
Fang Yuan lent Fixed Immortal Travel to Tai Bai Yun Sheng and entered his immortal aperture, then sent his thoughts that recorded the image of true inheritance secluded domain.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng activated Fixed Immortal Travel, Giant Sun's will had no spare energy to stop him and could only let him go to true inheritance secluded domain one step earlier.
Within the true inheritance secluded domain was a scene of chaos.
The dozens of true inheritances were ruled by new wild wills and were like headless chickens, flying around chaotically. From time to time, they collided with each other, letting out sparks and causing unceasing wear and tear.
Mo Yao felt great heartache at this scene: "Make your choice quickly. These true inheritances are destroying each other, if the situation gets worse, even if you can get an inheritance, it might have already lost its essence."
Fang Yuan did not have much time left and could only pick one true inheritance. He had already made a plan for this.
He said in a deep voice: "Mo Yao, I need your help."
"Speak quickly."
"Point me the location of the final supreme true inheritance!"
Mo Yao was stumped at Fang Yuan's words.
Soon, her eyes and mouth opened wide, her mind was greatly shaken!
Eighty-Eight True Yang Building contained three supreme true inheritances. Mo Yao was extremely clear about them and she had introduced them to Fang Yuan when he had charged into true inheritance secluded domain before.
The first supreme true inheritance was rank nine wisdom Gu.
The second supreme true inheritance was Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's luck path inheritance.
The third supreme true inheritance was Eighty-Eight True Yang Building itself!
That is to say the one who obtains this true inheritance could control Eighty-Eight True Yang Building!!
"Why did I not think of it?" Mo Yao mumbled in a daze, "Giant Sun's will had transferred all the sub-wills away, now is the best time to seize the authority over Eighty-Eight True Yang Building!"
"Right! Giant Sun's will had neglected this in fulfilling his desire to deal with Zhao Lian Yun, thus exposing his greatest flaw, and giving us the opportunity to turn around this crisis!" Fang Yuan's eyes shone with a sharp brilliance.
He looked at his surroundings, the fire of ambition soaring ever so high in his heart.
He acutely grasped the flaw in the enemy!
Win or lose, it all depended on this move; as long as he could take Eighty-Eight True Yang Building for himself, he would have the territorial advantage!
By that time, even if Giant Sun's main will were to be more formidable, he would only be a despondent dog locked out of the house, standing at the door and barking helplessly!

Chapter 623: Refining Eighty-Eight True Yang Building
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng moved forward in the true inheritance secluded domain.
In the dark true inheritance secluded domain, there was no more of the order and serenity from before.
Because Giant Sun's will had been extracted fully, the dozens of true inheritances here were ownerless inheritances, wild wills formed in them within a short time.
These true inheritances were like shooting stars of all colors, flying extremely quickly in this dark space, they weaved a beautiful huge net with their trails.
Swoosh!
Another true inheritance flew quickly past Fang Yuan's left side.
This true inheritance was only the size of a bowl, it was giving off a silvery light and was very dazzling.
It almost touched Fang Yuan's body as it flew past, the silvery light shone on Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng's faces.
Their expressions were quite ugly, their gazes were full of anxiety and nervousness.
These true inheritances were powerful and had special abilities, most of them had Immortal Gu among the Gu worms in them. Be it Fang Yuan or Tai Bai Yun Sheng, they could not endure an attack from them.
Especially now, when the true inheritances were guided by the newly birthed wills, who knew when they would display their Immortal Gu abilities?
This could not be predicted!
Moving around this place was like walking on a tightrope above death.
"These true inheritances are getting faster, have you found the target yet?" Tai Bai Yun Sheng shouted at Fang Yuan, his voice was trembling.
"Soon." Fang Yuan answered.
He also felt the pressure intensifying, even though he was a flying master and had exceptional skill, the pressure now was tremendous.
Bam!
Just at this moment, there was a loud explosion.
"Oh no, quickly dodge!" In Fang Yuan's mind, Mo Yao reminded.
Not far away, two true inheritances collided, from the intense sounds produced by them, several Gu worms were destroyed on the spot.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng had yet to feel pity at this, when his expression paled.
The collision changed the two true inheritances' directions, one of them which was bright yellow flew towards them.
During the moment of crisis, Tai Bai Yun Sheng quickly activated all of his defensive Gu, setting up a hundred lines of defense around him and Fang Yuan.
The incoming true inheritance came with a strong force, destroying all of the defensive lines without any difficulty.
But during this period, Tai Bai Yun Sheng managed to earn some precious time for him and Fang Yuan to escape.
The shrill sound almost burst their eardrums, as the meteor-like true inheritance flew away with a blazing tail.
In the blink of an eye, it was more than ten thousand steps away from the two of them.
"My defense Gu were almost all destroyed!" Tai Bai Yun Sheng's expression was pale: "Where there is life, there is hope, we should retreat."
Tai Bai Yun Sheng had the intention of leaving already.
Fang Yuan frowned, he was very clear on Tai Bai Yun Sheng's nature.
The older one was, the more cowardly they become.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng lacked the enthusiasm and spirit to take risks now, it was fine to ask him to heal others, but he was not an expert at putting himself into life and death situations.
Just as Fang Yuan was thinking of what to say to spur Tai Bai Yun Sheng's fighting spirit, Mo Yao screamed in his mind: "Quickly look, just above you guys, we found it!"
Fang Yuan's mind became sharp, he quickly looked up.
Indeed, a supreme true inheritance was flying slowly, the speed of the light lump was not fast, it was a stark contrast to the other ordinary true inheritances.
It was the size of an adult person, glowing with an orange and red light, giving off the feeling of warmth.
The surrounding true inheritances, when they got close to it, took detours and changed their directions.
Between Gu worms, there was absolute authority when they had a difference of two ranks.
The authority of a supreme true inheritance was not something ordinary or unparalleled true inheritances could offend.
"Go!" Fang Yuan was overjoyed, he shouted at Tai Bai Yun Sheng before flying over.
"Hold on! All of you hold on!" Ye Lui Sang's eyes were red, he shouted loudly as he activated his Gu worms, emitting fierce flames.
The flames burned, quickly spreading.
The golden horn leopard group that was attacking them had good resistance to high temperature. But Ye Lui Sang's flames used the power of an Immortal Gu, the golden horn leopard group quickly melted in the flames, turning into puddles of golden mud.
Seeing this, the surrounding Gu Masters cheered loudly.
"Lord Ye Lui Sang is incredible!"
"Thankfully lord is here, otherwise we would be dead meat."
Ye Lui Sang breathed roughly, he was exasperated, helpless and angry.
"Damn it, what is going on? First, Tai Bai Yun Sheng became an immortal, next Imperial Court blessed land was facing destruction, ravaged by the once in ten years blizzard. Now even Eighty-Eight True Yang Building has come into the picture. I thought we could leave the trap, but the building's rounds suddenly triggered! If I knew this, I would not have entered the last Imperial Court contest!"
Ye Lui Sang was scolding in his heart.
Not just him, Ma Ying Jie, Luo Bo Jun, Gu Guo Long and the other survivors were all kept in the dark, they did not know the truth.
These people were all northern plains Gu Masters who had entered Imperial Court blessed land.
After Imperial Court blessed land was torn with several holes, the once in ten years blizzard entered and wreaked havoc, killing almost all the mortals. Large numbers of low rank Gu Masters were injured or dead.
But later, Giant Sun's will's found some time, despite being busy, to save some of the blood related descendants.
Ye Lui Sang and the others were placed into the golden leopard round.
When Fang Yuan activated the final trump card and sent Giant Sun's will out of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building temporarily, without Giant Sun's will controlling the round, the large golden horn leopard group started attacking Ye Lui Sang and the others fiercely.
Outside Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
The golden sand-like Giant Sun's will was covered the building like a thick layer of armor.
Meanwhile, the terrifying heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity had combined into one, fusing to connect heaven and earth, it was pure white like snow, like a giant cocoon, enveloping the entire Eighty-Eight True Yang Building and Giant Sun's will in it.
Outside the cocoon, wild winds blew, sharp blades made of ice were flying around everywhere. Inside the cocoon, lightning flashed and the snow poured like a storm.
Crack!
A snow-white lightning flash was formed abruptly, in the shape of a trident.
The strange lightning descended from heaven, stabbing into Giant Sun's will.
"Snow war tribulation lightning!"
Giant Sun's will howled, this attack destroyed a large portion of Giant Sun's will. There was a huge injury appearing on the golden sand-like armor.
This snow war tribulation lightning had amazing strength, it was extraordinary. Even Gu Immortals would be moved when they see it, because it was one of the publicly recognised top ten catastrophes!
Just this hit alone destroyed countless numbers of Giant Sun's thoughts.
But Giant Sun's will was left behind by an Immortal Venerable, its foundation was immensely thick. The will that was like a golden sand armor quickly repaired itself.
But other than the snow war tribulation lightning, there were also flying needle rain, explosive thunder hail, cruel wind scythe and others.
These did not exist earlier, they were formed from Tai Bai Yun Sheng's heavenly tribulation chaotic lightning balls and earthly calamity restraining smoke, fusing with the once in ten years blizzard.
Heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities continued to rain down carrying the intense rage of heaven and earth.
Giant Sun's will resisted them desperately, his losses were great.
"Soon, very soon! In just several minutes, I will be able to break free of this obstacle and enter Eighty-Eight True Yang Building again… You actually dared to expel me from the building, and keep me outside! I will tear your tendons and bones out, I will grind you to ashes, I will make you suffer a fate worse than death!" Giant Sun's will had already transcended anger when he thought of Fang Yuan.
Inside Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, there was still a small portion of Giant Sun's will.
Right now, he was controlling the treemen round, manipulating them in trying to push Giant Sun's inheritance back to the true inheritance secluded domain.
"Softly, don't be too rough, this is the only one in the world!" Giant Sun's will paid close attention to Hei Lou Lan.
Hei Lou Lan was extremely irritated, but he could only reduce his strength.
This was the one and only record of this luck path true inheritance that Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had left behind, once it was destroyed, it would be irrecoverable.
Precisely because of this consideration, Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun who were inside the luck path true inheritance were able to survive.
The two of them were hugging each other closely, they had no choice but to watch the giant light ball that was the luck path true inheritance slowly pushed towards the round tunnel.
Even though they were famous and powerful characters in Fang Yuan's previous life, both Gu Immortals, right now, they were still too weak.
One was a newly advanced rank three Gu Master, while the other was a mortal who had not even started her cultivation journey.
"Tai Bai Yun Sheng and that Chang Shan Yin have gone missing." Success was at hand, as Hei Lou Lan could not control it anymore, saying.
Ever since Fang Yuan vanished, he had felt a vague sense of unease.
"Forget about them, in just a moment my main will is going to return. By then, even if two or three more Gu Immortals come, they cannot do anything. The important thing now is to get this luck path true inheritance into the true inheritance secluded domain! Most luck path Gu worms are formless and ethereal. Only that place can contain these Gu worms." Giant Sun's will's voice resounded in Hei Lou Lan's ears.
Hei Lou Lan nodded, shouting lowly as he mustered his strength.
At once, he unleashed fifty strength path phantoms.
These strength path phantoms had superior wisdom, they quickly rushed towards the luck path true inheritance. Enduring the blazing light, they pushed.
The luck path true inheritance was finally completely pushed into the true inheritance secluded domain by this force.
The tunnel closed.
"Success." Giant Sun's will breathed out a deep sigh.
Almost at the same time, the giant main will charged into the building.
Giant Sun's will which was controlling the treemen round fused with the main will, sharing their memories together.
"Fang Yuan, where are you?!" The main will screamed loudly with deep hatred.
"Greetings to old ancestor." Hei Lou Lan bowed deeply, showing great joy.
The main will was like a small sun, it shone brightly and was very domineering.
It could be said that Hei Lou Lan had helped Giant Sun's will in many ways.
Giant Sun's will was just about to praise him, but suddenly shouted in anger: " You are all courting death! You dare to refine my Eighty-Eight True Yang Building!"
Inside Giant Sun's secluded domain, Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng stretched out their palms, pressing the true inheritance light lump forcefully, their expressions were pale and their bodies were shivering.
"Quickly! Just one last bit and we would succeed!!" In his mind, Mo Yao's will shouted anxiously.

Chapter 624: Shameless and devious scoundrel!
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
In true inheritance secluded domain, Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng were firmly holding a supreme true inheritance from its left and right.
Thanks to the guidance of Mo Yao's will along with Giant Sun's will being emptied out, Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng were able to get close to the true inheritance.
The most crucial point was there was no primeval energy in true inheritance secluded domain.
Wild Gu worms could absorb primeval energy directly from the surrounding air for their use. Without primeval energy, most Gu worms would lose their threat. This was also one of the reasons Giant Sun's will was trying to push Giant Sun's Luck Path True Inheritance back into true inheritance secluded domain.
The supreme true inheritance had been letting out a warm orange light before, but in Fang Yuan's and Tai Bai Yun Sheng's hands, it let out three colors.
Silver-white light occupied the bulk of it; caused by the refinement from Tai Bai Yun Sheng's Gu Immortal will. The second color was grey from Fang Yuan. The third was black light from Mo Yao.
Silver-white light was the most abundant, grey came second and black was in the least amount.
Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was a rank eight Immortal Gu House, formed from extremely large numbers of Gu worms. Fang Yuan's group had to use all their strength to quickly refine Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
It could be said, whether it was Fang Yuan or Tai Bai Yun Sheng, they had both spent all their strength.
"Just a little left, just a little more effort!" Tai Bai Yun Sheng anxiously yelled.
The main portion of Giant Sun's will had returned to True Yang Building, the three had heard its furious roar.
The round light lump with the size of an adult had only a final trace of orange left on it. As long as this light was eroded, Eighty-Eight True Yang Building would completely change its master and the situation would greatly incline towards Fang Yuan's side!
However, Giant Sun's will furiously made his move at this final moment.
The will left by an Immortal Venerable could not be looked down upon!
And this will was the original master of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building! Thus, in just an instant, the final trace of orange was replaced by dazzling golden light.
Fang Yuan's group immediately felt gloomy at this color.
This color meant that Giant Sun's will had refined the final remaining trace of the supreme true inheritance's will!
"Juniors, you are really audacious, you dare to go after my Eighty-Eight True Yang Building! I will make you pay the most terrible price in the world!" From within the light lump, a roar from Giant Sun's will sounded out.
"Quick! There is only a meagre trace of Giant Sun's will, we need to move together and destroy it, spare no energy!!" Fang Yuan shouted.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng's forehead was filled with sweat; he did not need any reminder to be aware of the utmost importance of this matter.
The two gave a deep shout and moved together, mobilising their wills to form a huge army of thoughts that unfolded a fierce assault towards the last trace of will.
Giant Sun's will's roar stopped abruptly as he poured all his energy in defending against the assault.
Its main body was enormous, but it had only refined a trace of the true inheritance and controlled the smallest portion. Even if it possessed majestic strength that far surpassed the allied thoughts army of Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng, it did not have the room to display its might, and the power it could let out was an insignificant fraction compared to that of the main body.
The newborn wild will that had been born just recently in the supreme true inheritance had already been thoroughly extinguished.
The tranquil true inheritance light lump became an unconventional battlefield that pitted Fang Yuan, Tai Bai Yun Sheng and Giant Sun's will.
Contest between wills involved profound techniques and skill.
But be it Fang Yuan or Tai Bai Yun Sheng, they were not truly soul path Gu Masters. Fang Yuan could be considered to have started it just recently while Tai Bai Yun Sheng was truly a novice, relying on nothing more than the instinct to move his thoughts.
As for Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, his soul path attainment was definitely out of this world. Unfortunately, the one confronting the enemy was only the special will he had left behind.
Thus, in this battle of wills, there were no fancy skills; it was only a head-on collision, a bloody fight.
After a dozen or so breaths later, Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng's wills suffered disastrous losses.
The quantity of Giant Sun's will might be small, not even filling one percent of the true inheritance light lump, but it stood lofty and majestic.
The main Giant Sun's will was vast, its power flowed without pause. Every bit of loss it suffered was immediately replenished.
By contrast, Fang Yuan's group might have occupied the advantage of vast quantity, but they did not have high battle strength and were soon lacking the fuel to continue.
"Damn it! We can't expel Giant Sun's will, the situation has gone south!" Tai Bai Yun Sheng was deathly pale, the combined attack earlier was their most powerful method, but it showed no effect.
Giant Sun's will was laughing heartily.
Fang Yuan and the group lacked the energy to continue the attack, and after Giant Sun's will had resisted their most intense attacks, he began to expand his territory.
In the true inheritance light lump, the part occupied by golden light began to expand bit by bit.
Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng looked on with wide eyes; they staked all their energy, but were only able to slow down Giant Sun's will's speed of expansion.
Giant Sun's will was truly terrifying.
Even when it was schemed against repeatedly before, and most of its will was outside, suffering the deathly attacks from the heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity, the remaining part was still a tall, mountain-like barrier to Fang Yuan's group.
This enormous difference in their strengths was like a gulf between heaven and earth.
"We are going to lose!" Tai Bai Yun Sheng's tone was grave, "This is just a will Giant Sun Immortal Venerable left behind, I really can't imagine how powerful he was when alive!"
"Damn it, only one last step was remaining!!" Mo Yao's will grabbed her head, her voice mixed with a tone of sobbing and extreme regret, "If only we were a step earlier, as long as we had three breaths of time, we would have succeeded."
"Never mind!" Fang Yuan gnashed his teeth, his expression heavy.
He had not given up yet, speaking with ruthless intent: "In this situation, we are unable to get our hands on Eighty-Eight True Yang Building. We cannot exterminate Giant Sun's will, sooner or later it will swallow the space we occupy. But we have yet to lose! Don't forget, there are still the heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities outside True Yang Building!"
"Are you saying?" Tai Bai Yun Sheng's expression changed, blurting out.
His nature was benevolent and passive, but he was not stupid, and immediately realized when Fang Yuan mentioned it.
"That's right, if I can't obtain it, no one else should think about getting it. Since I can't get Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, I would rather destroy it!" A ruthless glint shone in Fang Yuan's eyes, his tone was so cold it could make the listener shiver.
"But this is Eighty-Eight True Yang Building…" Mo Yao resounded, but her tone was wavering.
She had no choice but to accept this was the best method to escape their predicament.
Giant Sun's will finally stormed into true inheritance secluded domain.
"You two tiny ants, you actually forced me to this extent! You scheming scoundrels, your good days have come to an end, your sins are so great that even death would be letting you off cheaply. I will give you a punishment worse than death! I will peel off your skin, pull your tendons and let blood flow! I will burn your souls in flames and let you taste incomparable suffering for all eternity!"
The golden will roared like a furious sea, and whipped up huge waves with it!
Schemed upon time and time again by Fang Yuan, suffering the unrestrained bombardment of the calamities; Giant Sun's will's fury had already reached the summit, swearing to kill Fang Yuan, the main culprit.
Compared to the golden wave, Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng were as small as ants.
The flying true inheritances were swallowed by the golden wave, resulting in splashes but they stopped moving soon after.
Giant Sun's will had once again taken control of these inheritances.
However, most of the Gu worms required primeval essence or immortal essence to be activated, and just Giant Sun's will could not activate them.
At present, most of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was controlled by Fang Yuan's group.
As long as they did not let Giant Sun's will obtain Giant Sun's immortal essence, these Gu worms could not be used.
"Start." Fang Yuan gave a soft shout, his gaze flashing with sharp intent.
Giant Sun's will's powerful approach also dispelled Tai Bai Yun Sheng's hesitation. He was already completely tied to Fang Yuan's side and could only choose to forcibly advance together.
Eighty-Eight True Yang Building originally shone with an aurora, but with the actions of Fang Yuan's group, the aurora rapidly dimmed until it dissipated.
The furious golden sea suddenly stilled.
The next moment, Giant Sun's will's furious roar reverberated: "Bastards! You dared to make Eighty-Eight True Yang Building stop its operation, you, you damned scoundrels, you damned devious, shameless scoundrels!"
Eighty-Eight True Yang Building might have had wild will before, but it had just been born, thus it had still automatically operated as normal.
However, Fang Yuan's group had refined most of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building and they forcibly made it stop its operations.
Even the strongest fort would find it hard to resist an internal collapse.
Although Eighty-Eight True Yang Building had not collapsed, its operations had stopped and just its shell had no might.
Without any might, how could it resist the terrifying heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities?
Fang Yuan's group could neglect Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, in any case, they would not be able to obtain Eighty-Eight True Yang Building if this situation progressed.
However, Giant Sun's will could not neglect it.
This was an inheritance from Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, left behind for the benefits of his descendants; it must not be destroyed.
Giant Sun's will was left behind by the Immortal Venerable to manage Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, how could it just watch as the True Yang Building was destroyed?
"Just you wait!" The golden sea of will swiftly retreated.
The vast will of Giant Sun surged out of the tower like water, forming a golden armor as a defense around it.
Giant Sun's will had no choice but to suffer the ravaging bombardment of the heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities to protect the weak Eighty-Eight True Yang Building. However, it still left behind a portion of will which surged towards Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng like a furious river.
Fang Yuan, however, let out a breath of turbid air.
Compared to the majestic furious sea from before, this will might be strong but they could deal with it, albeit with difficulty.
Fang Yuan reluctantly took out a Gu from his pocket.
It was flying bear phantom Gu.
Fang Yuan's will moved and threw the Gu casually; the flying bear phantom Gu flew forward, blossoming with beautiful white light.
The white light dissipated and a giant flying bear protected Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng, obstructing the river of will.
"Damn it, flying bear phantom Gu!" Giant Sun's will cursed.
Flying bear phantom Gu was rather special; it was an Immortal Gu but it could be activated with just one's mind, without requiring immortal essence.
Refining it was difficult and feeding it was not easy, requiring the fresh flesh of the desolate beast flying bear.
Fortunately, Fang Yuan possessed Hu Immortal blessed land and could feed this Immortal Gu with the help of treasure yellow heaven.
Even so, he had to pay an enormous price.
Train an army for a thousand days to use it in one fight. Now, it was time for flying bear phantom Gu to show its worth!

Chapter 625: Remaining trump card
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
The flying bear phantom's battle strength, almost not at the level of the desolate beast flying bear, it had at least half immortal battle strength. Most importantly, it might look bulky and slow, but it was very agile.
The river of Giant Sun's will swirled to its left and right, attempting to get past the flying bear phantom, to directly attack Fang Yuan and the others, obtaining victory.
But he was still obstructed by the flying bear phantom.
The flying bear phantom, even without Fang Yuan's manipulation, had some intelligence and was quite crafty, it could battle entirely alone.
Swoosh.
The fat and large bear paw slammed down, carrying the sound of the wind with it.
Bam!
The golden sand-like Giant Sun's will was smashed into bits by the bear paw, turning into golden dust as it dissolved in the air.
But this was just a subsidiary.
The golden river that was Giant Sun's will was like a huge python coiling around the flying bear phantom tightly.
At the same time, countless subsidiaries were created, attacking many areas of the flying bear phantom.
The two were fighting closely, at a stalemate, neither could do anything to the other party.
Giant Sun's will could fuse and split at will, it had the freedom to change forms, flying bear phantom could not take it down. But Giant Sun's will was tangled by the flying bear phantom and could not deal with the most crucial person — Fang Yuan.
Giant Sun's will had inherited a portion of the Immortal Venerable's wisdom, it knew from the situation after some thinking: To kill Fang Yuan, it needed to use at least half of the river's will.
But the remaining half was not the flying bear phantom's match.
If he attacked forcefully, it was like he was handing the initiative over.
If Fang Yuan retreated with the true inheritance light lump and dragged for time, after flying bear phantom destroys the Giant Sun's will that was left fighting it, the situation would become dangerous.
He had already suffered a loss from splitting up earlier when he drew his will out of the true inheritance secluded domain.
At that time, Fang Yuan had used the glass owner token to challenge a small portion of Giant Sun's will resolutely. In the end, both suffered injuries and eventually led to Giant Sun's will taking a huge risk and paying a huge price, but only managing to regain control of the treemen round.
Fang Yuan's expression was grim.
He sustained the true inheritance light lump, slowing Giant Sun's will's expansion progress while observing the situation and current battle state.
"If Giant Sun's will would split up again, that would be great. Unfortunately, it will never make the same mistake twice." Fang Yuan observed for a while, seeing Giant Sun's will fighting the flying bear phantom so intensely, but yet it did not think of splitting up, Fang Yuan sighed in his heart.
The opponent was not making a mistake, thus Fang Yuan's predicament was getting more dangerous.
Right now, most of Giant Sun's will was outside the building enduring the heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity, to protect Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, only two portions were left now.
A portion was fighting with flying bear phantom. The other was competing with Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng, trying to refine the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
The supreme true inheritance that represented Eighty-Eight True Yang Building's ownership only had a trace of golden color originally, but now this trace had grown to palm size.
Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng had already squeezed out all of their potentials, they were shivering and their expressions were pale, they were sweating profusely but could not resist the expansion of Giant Sun's will's refinement.
Giant Sun's will was simply too great.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng felt like he was facing a valley and mountain during the resistance, he was helpless and felt hopelessness.
Even Fang Yuan, a demonic head with an iron will, felt a strong sense of dejection growing in his heart at this point.
If he allowed the situation to develop like this, one day, when Giant Sun's will successfully expands, he would regain control of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building. By then, Fang Yuan and the others would be dead meat.
He had to do something!
Despite so, Fang Yuan had already been too deeply involved in this supreme true inheritance, he could not do anything else.
His greatest battle strength now was the flying bear phantom Gu, but it was already in use.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng was a temporary alliance mate that he obtained through swindling, but similar to Fang Yuan, he was already here engaging with Giant Sun's will, he could not do anything else.
It could be said that other than the Spring Autumn Cicada, Fang Yuan had used all of his trump cards.
"Don't tell me, I really have to use the Spring Autumn Cicada this time?" A thought flashed in Fang Yuan's mind.
But immediately after, he rejected it.
"Spring Autumn Cicada is not an Immortal Gu that has a guaranteed success rate, I could fail. The black death bad luck on me right now is so thick. Once I self-detonate, my remaining consciousness would enter the Spring Autumn Cicada and travel upstream in the river of time, there is a high chance of meeting my end! My chances are probably lower than one out of ten."
How could he resolve this situation?
"Sigh… Fang Yuan, we have no hope of success, let's retreat! Using Fixed Immortal Travel, we can return to your blessed land." Tai Bai Yun Sheng suggested.
Should he really retreat?
At this point, if he gave in, Giant Sun's will would immediately regain control of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building. By then, through his obstruction, would Fixed Immortal Travel Gu still activate successfully?
Even if he succeeded, would this satisfy him?
Fang Yuan was indignant!
He had planned this for so long, he schemed so hard, victory was almost in sight, an immense fortune and benefit was right before him, he was just one step away!
Just one tiny step!!
"I am really indignant… Wait!" Fang Yuan's expression changed, he thought of Ma Hong Yun.
"I have no trump cards, but I can make use of this chess piece." Inspiration flashed in his mind as Fang Yuan had no more hesitations, he flapped his wings and flew up with the supreme true inheritance.
"Where are we going?" Tai Bai Yun Sheng asked quickly.
"Just follow me." Fang Yuan replied curtly.
Fixed immortal travel Gu was in his possession and was refined by him, even if Tai Bai Yun Sheng wanted to retreat, without Fang Yuan's cooperation, he could not escape.
"Don't think of running away!" The river-like Giant Sun's will growled, splitting up and forming back into one entity again, passing the flying bear phantom and charging towards Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
The flying bear phantom reacted quickly, it followed after them.
Fang Yuan snickered, changing his direction. After moving in many directions, flying bear phantom returned to Fang Yuan's side.
Fang Yuan fled while battling, as the two sides fought and stopped many times. Sometimes, the river-like Giant Sun's will was in front, sometimes, Fang Yuan took detours, using the flying bear phantom to fight back.
The road was filled with shocks but no real danger.
Although there were true inheritances of all sizes flying around chaotically, because of the supreme true inheritance's aura, none got close.
Using flying bear phantom as a shield, the river-like Giant Sun's will could not stop Fang Yuan's movement, he could only slow him down.
But Fang Yuan's circumstances were the same.
He and Tai Bai Yun Sheng could not do anything to the portion of Giant Sun's will that was refining the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building. In the contest of will, Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng were heavily suppressed, the golden light was expanding steadily, the two were bound to lose eventually.
"So you are here!" When Fang Yuan saw the luck path true inheritance in his vision, he laughed loudly.
"What are you trying to do?" The river-like Giant Sun's will felt something amiss, he screamed out in panic.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng looked at Fang Yuan with similar confusion.
Fang Yuan laughed heartily: "Tell me, what will happen when two supreme true inheritances collide?"
The color on Tai Bai Yun Sheng's face changed, Fang Yuan's insanity made his heart jump.
But thinking about it, he realized: This was an amazing and brilliant plan!
He and Fang Yuan were unable to turn back now. The true inheritance light lump in their hands were extremely troublesome, if they let go, they would die, but if they did not, they would die sooner or later.
But if the two supreme true inheritances collided, the results would be unthinkable.
The consequences were so severe even Giant Sun's will lost his composure!
"You, don't come over!" Ma Hong Yun shouted.
Zhao Lian Yun was tightly held in his arms.
But on this stage, the two of them were simply the weakest. If not for their extreme luck, they would have been grinded to dust long ago during the intense battles.
Under the influence of luck and coincidences, the luck path supreme true inheritance became their guardian angel, but it had been pushed into the true inheritance secluded domain.
After entering the true inheritance secluded domain, the threat of the luck path true inheritance hit rock bottom, it was almost a guaranteed success for Giant Sun's will to deal with the otherworldly demon.
If not for Giant Sun's will being careful about protecting the luck path true inheritance, and was forced by Fang Yuan thus he could not leave and had to deal with him, he would have dealt with Ma and Zhao long ago.
Ma Hong Yun was safe and sound here, in a way, it was all thanks to Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
But now, Fang Yuan was dragging the supreme true inheritance and rushed here on his own.
"He, what is he trying to do?!" Zhao Lian Yun's body was shuddering, through the translucent barrier, she was frantic and could see Fang Yuan's cold smile.
"No, you cannot do this! Quickly stop, stop it!!" The river-like Giant Sun's will was shouting insanely from behind him.
He was anxious!
Once these two supreme true inheritances collide, they would definitely suffer great damages together.
By that time, not only would the last remaining luck path true inheritance get damaged or even destroyed, Eighty-Eight True Yang Building would even suffer immense damage that would be hard to imagine.
The river-like Giant Sun's will underwent intense thoughts, all of the thoughts that formed its will started self-detonating.
The golden sand-like will in the shape of a river burst out with an eye piercing light, his battle strength surged by at least half.
Flying bear phantom growled angrily, but was suppressed thoroughly.
Fang Yuan's brows were tightly locked, the situation was very dangerous, he had to put a portion of his concentration on the flying bear phantom, manipulating it to battle personally.
Five hundred years of battle experience was nothing to be scoffed at!
Under her manipulation, flying bear phantom moved more agilely, it ignored the injuries on it and blocked the river-like Giant Sun's will completely in the end.
"Fang Yuan, you are courting death! You want to deal with Ma Hong Yun, but do not forget the overwhelming power of fortune rivaling heaven Gu that he has! As long as you carry ill intent towards him, your luck will decrease drastically, even if you have half immortal battle strength, and is able to resist it temporarily, how long can you last?" The river-like Giant Sun's will saw that he could not break through and started shouting.
"Fang Yuan, Giant Sun's will is absolutely right, you need to be very careful!" Mo Yao's will also said.
Fang Yuan snorted, without a bit of hesitation in his heart.
Seeking fortune amidst danger, to Fang Yuan, only by emerging victorious amidst chaos could he have a chance of survival.
Seeing that the two supreme true inheritances were less than a thousand steps away from each other, at this moment, there were ripples in the air, as dozens of figures were transported into the true inheritance secluded domain.
They appeared ahead of Fang Yuan's flying route, they were almost all familiar faces.
Ye Lui Sang, Gu Guo Long, Bian Si Xuan…
The leader was a brawny and muscular man, with hammer-like fists, he laughed ruthlessly towards Fang Yuan: "So you are called Fang Yuan! Old Ancestor Giant Sun has already exposed both of your crimes to the outside world. Your schemes have been exposed, it is all over, your life will be over here!"
Who else was it but Hei Lou Lan?
Tai Bai Yun Sheng's expression changed abruptly, he could not free himself now as he was using all his strength to resist Giant Sun's will who was refining the supreme true inheritance.
The appearance of Hei Lou Lan and the others was simply too devastating.
At the final juncture, this was akin to a fatal blow!
"Hahaha!" The river-like Giant Sun's will laughed loudly behind them: "You are all just in time!"
He praised Hei Lou Lan and the others fervently.
This was definitely the act of the main will who took some time to inform and mobilize this bunch of reinforcements.
If this was during normal times, Hei Lou Lan and the others contained battle strength that was insignificant in Giant Sun's will's eyes. But at this time and place, they became a life-saving chess piece, they were the best bet in toppling the balance between the two sides!
"Fang Yuan, Tai Bai Yun Sheng, you are all dead meat!" The river-like Giant Sun's will growled, slowing down and attacking.
The initiative was grasped by Giant Sun's will's side once again.
"We lost!" Tai Bai Yun Sheng heaved a long sigh, turning over to look at Fang Yuan, mustering his spirit: "Junior brother, enter my aperture, we will retreat! I have immortal essence, and you have Fixed Immortal Travel, now that Giant Sun's will is being troubled by the heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity, we have to retreat now before it is too late!"
Fang Yuan however, shook his head: "It is already too late! Once we let go, Eighty-Eight True Yang Building will fall into the control of Giant Sun's will. This building has the ability to suck in Immortal Gu, and the range extends to the whole of northern plains, even if we use Fixed Immortal Travel, there is a high chance of failing in the end."
"Of course I know this." Tai Bai Yun Sheng's tone was anxious: "But we can only take a risk, in order to fight for that slim chance of success. If we drag any longer and lose this last opportunity, we would not even have this slim chance of success left!"
Fang Yuan's gaze was flickering in hesitation, he looked at the supreme true inheritance in his hand once again.
In the true inheritance light lump, the golden dazzling light had occupied a third of the light lump's capacity, and was expanding at an increasing speed.
Fang Yuan breathed in deeply: "I did not think that we will still get to this point. Sigh, if not for the circumstances, I would not want to do this!"
"Junior brother, you still have a method left?" Tai Bai Yun Sheng heard this and was shocked, overjoyed, and suspicious.

Report chapter
At this moment.
In true inheritance secluded domain.
Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun, who were mutually dependent on each other and under luck path supreme true inheritance's protection, looked with panicked expressions.
Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng were in control of the supreme true inheritance that represented Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
The two sides were cut off by Hei Lou Lan and the others, forming a firm defensive line.
Behind Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng, the river-like Giant Sun's will and the flying bear phantom were fighting.
Going even farther outside, the main Giant Sun's will covered Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, forcibly resisting the terrifying heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity, protecting the inheritance treasure of Giant Sun.
Hearing Fang Yuan still had a method left, Tai Bai Yun Sheng was naturally overjoyed and immediately urged: "Junior brother! What method do you have left, quickly use it."
Fang Yuan gave a bitter smile: "Senior brother, honestly, because of this desperate situation, I have no other ways but to use this method. I hope you will ensure my safety at the crucial moment."
"That goes without saying, we are fellow disciples after all!" Tai Bai Yun Sheng immediately guaranteed.
Fang Yuan nodded and instructed: "Senior brother, Giant Sun's will originated from Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, you must never underestimate it. Next, if it tries to sow discord between us, I won't be able to talk and defend myself, you must never believe it!"
Tai Bai Yun Sheng muttered: "Junior brother, we are of one family, you do not need to say anything and can rest assured. But from your tone, it seems you have a lot of concern and reservation towards using this method, if you are not too sure, we can still use Fixed Immortal Travel and leave immediately!"
Fang Yuan smiled lightly, revealing a confident expression: "Haha! Senior brother, rest assured, this method has unparalleled might, even the main Giant Sun's will cannot leave unscathed. Just watch."
The two had not used any Gu worms to conceal their conversation. The experts present could not help but reveal shock and doubt.
'A method that can harm the main Giant Sun's will, what exactly is it?' Hei Lou Lan frowned, he might looked crude but was actually astute, and did not carelessly move forward to fight.
Under everyone's gaze, Fang Yuan closed his eyes, slowly withdrawing his palms that were tightly grabbing the supreme true inheritance.
This action immediately increased the pressure on Tai Bai Yun Sheng by several times!
Tai Bai Yun Sheng was shocked, but fortunately Fang Yuan had reminded him before, and he was able to quickly exert all his strength to resist the fierce encroachment of Giant Sun's will.
"Junior brother, use your method quickly, I cannot hold on for long!" Tai Bai Yun Sheng shouted, beads of sweat dripping down his face.
In just a few short breaths of time, the golden light on the supreme true inheritance light lump wantonly expanded, becoming the size of a washing basin!
The speed was quick and violent!
"Let me see what deceit you are pulling!" Looking at this state, Hei Lou Lan and the group did not dare to rashly charge ahead at this juncture.
However, they had waited for a dozen breaths but still did not see any terrifying offense from Fang Yuan.
This battlefield had sunk into a strange silence.
The two sides did not speak, there were only the swoosh sounds of the flying true inheritances and the occasional collisions of the true inheritances!
"Damn it, we were tricked!" Ye Lui Sang was furious, "This thief that disguised as Chang Shan Yin is truly crafty. He is already at a dead end and has exhausted all his methods, but is still pretending that he has an unfathomable and profound trump card!"
"Everyone let's go, kill this audacious conspirator!" Gu tribe's leader Gu Guo Long shouted from the side.
The leader, Hei Lou Lan, however, did not move.
Not only was he not moving, his expression even turned grave.
"Could it be…" Tai Bai Yun Sheng looked at Fang Yuan with bewilderment, he was the nearest and thus felt a formless heavenly power suddenly forming around Fang Yuan, gently lifting him up.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng had an extremely deep impression of this heavenly power, after all he had personally experienced it not long ago.
"Junior brother, you are shattering your aperture and ascending to immortal at this moment?"
Tai Bai Yun Sheng's words startled everyone present.
The journey of a Gu Master crossing the mortal realm and ascending to an immortal was extremely dangerous and risky. To think Fang Yuan actually recklessly shattered his aperture at this dangerous moment, charging towards Gu Immortal realm.
"Does this guy have a screw loose?"
"He can't even understand his situation, is he stupid?"
"Did he see no chance of success and used this unusual method to die?"
For a moment, Ye Lui Sang and the others were filled with heavy doubts.
But the next moment, Giant Sun's will's furious roar reverberated over the whole of the true inheritance secluded domain: "Fang Yuan! I curse you to have a terrible death!! You actually shattered your aperture at this moment to attract the heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity!! You are actually so bent on destroying True Yang Building. Everyone, kill this sinner quickly, the heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity are already showing changes!"
This roar was different from before, besides the overflowing fury, Giant Sun's will's voice now also contained panic!
The fusion of so many heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities would not be a simple addition of one plus one equals two.
The once in ten years blizzard wreaked havoc over the whole of northern plains; its range might be large but its might was not great. Even mortals could rely on some special places to forcibly resist it.
The chaotic lightning balls and restraining smoke, left from Tai Bai Yun Sheng's ascension, were mostly targeting wills and were only troublesome for Giant Sun's will.
But these two merged together and formed snow war tribulation lightning!
This was one of the ten great catastrophes!
This tribulation lightning had terrifying power, and Giant Sun's will had to pay a large price to resist it.
Now, if a new heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity was added on top of snow war tribulation lightning and if these two heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities merged together, the resulting change would have unparalleled power!
Even Giant Sun's will felt fear!! It was after all only a special will left behind by the Immortal Venerable, even if it could kill Gu Immortals, but under the might of heaven, it paled in comparison.
"Quick, old ancestor has spoken, we need to attack together!"
"Follow me, kill these two!"
"Heroes of northern plains, crush these two outsiders to meat-paste."
Hei Lou Lan and the rest were startled awake and started acting according to Giant Sun's will's command, fiercely charging forward.
Before they even neared, their respective Gu worms were already activated, forming a majestic offense. Strength path phantoms, malevolent fiery snakes, terrifying sword lights, pure white snow… all kinds of attacks converged together, seemingly forming beautiful fireworks.
The fatal crisis was approaching him, but Tai Bai Yun Sheng did not spare even a trace of his thoughts to it, and used all his strength to resist the encroachment of the portion of Giant Sun's will in the true inheritance light lump.
Fang Yuan opened his eyes, maneuvering the flying bear phantom as well as activating his killer move.
Six arm heavenly zombie king!
He turned into an eight armed monster, his aura erupted and his will to fight flared.
The flying bear phantom gave a miserable howl before using its gigantic body as a meat shield, blocking the attacks.
The river-like Giant Sun's will was free to move, immediately attacking Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan protected Tai Bai Yun Sheng, and welcomed the river-like Giant Sun's will without evading.
Boom!
The two sides fiercely collided, the resulting explosion let out brilliant golden sparks everywhere.
Large numbers of special will shattered and dissipated.
Fang Yuan also suffered heavy injuries; six of his arms broke apart, his chest caved in, his right lower leg was completely gone and one eye was blinded.
"Fang Yuan, your death is certain this time! You dared to ascend to Gu Immortal at this moment, who do you think you are? A reincarnated Immortal Venerable? Hmph, since you are seeking your own death, I shall help you with it."
The river-like Giant Sun's will formed a python shape that coiled around into a circle, accumulating its power, its whole body radiating with dazzling golden radiance.
Fang Yuan snorted, not replying. The terrifying injuries on his body rapidly recovered at a visible speed.
He had transformed into a heavenly zombie; the feeling of pain was completely gone and death energy replaced his life energy. His recovery speed was thus greatly amplified, having no need for any rank five healing Gu.
Boom, boom, boom…
The intense collisions erupted repeatedly; Fang Yuan and the river-like Giant Sun's will carried out an intense battle.
"Thief, come down now!" Giant Sun's will suddenly transformed into a giant hand and fiercely clawed at Fang Yuan's back.
With a tearing sound.
The eagle wings on Fang Yuan's back were directly torn apart, forming two enormous wounds that revealed his bones.
Eagle rise Gu perished!
Fang Yuan was heavily injured, but he did not budge a bit, instead he fiercely twisted his waist.
Crack… He moved with such strength that he actually broke apart his waist!
Disregarding the injuries on his body, Fang Yuan swung his hammer like fist straight into Giant Sun's will.
Boom…..
In an instant, fierce wind surged and fist shadows flew with unstoppable momentum like a dragon overturning the river, like a fierce tiger leaving the mountain.
The giant hand that Giant Sun's will had condensed into had no time to split apart before it was struck by this vicious strike. The massive will was bombarded by the attack and shattered, suffering huge damage.
Amidst the drizzle of golden sand-like will, Fang Yuan took the chance to pull back like a bolt of lightning.
Giant Sun's will had been waiting for a counterattack, but could only roar in fury as Fang Yuan was already far away.
Fang Yuan was not a battle maniac and was as cool-headed as ice, never letting himself be overtaken by the heat of the fight. As the injuries on him rapidly healed, Fang Yuan gasped for breath; the pressure on him was as heavy as a mountain in this battle with Giant Sun's will.
He had already used all his strength but there was no doubt this was the strongest opponent he had faced since his rebirth!
The two organized themselves again and after a few breaths of time, they charged at each other again.
"So what if you are an Immortal Gu? Go and die!" On the other battlefield, Hei Lou Lan's violent shout could be heard.
Tens of strength path phantoms suddenly retreated and entered Hei Lou Lan's body.
Hei Lou Lan's body merged with the strength path phantoms, transforming into a giant phantom within moments.
The giant reached a height of over a hundred feet. The muscles on it were bulging and vivid, and its appearance was exactly similar to Hei Lou Lan.
"Feel my killer move!!" The giant strength path phantom's voice rumbled like thunder; it headed straight towards the flying bear phantom and smashed its right fist at the flying bear phantom's skull.
The flying bear phantom was being held under control by Ye Lui Sang and others; caught unprepared, it was sent rolling down.
Smash.
The giant strength path phantom showered the flying bear phantom with punches; the flying bear phantom was heavily injured after suffering the continuous attacks, and angrily counterattacked.
However, the giant strength path phantom was nimble and displayed a master level attainment in close combat. After a while, the flying bear phantom's body was beaten into such a mess that its original appearance was indistinct.
"The final strike!" The giant strength path phantom raised its right leg and smashed down like an axe.
Boom!
A huge rumbling sound echoed, the flying bear phantom could no longer endure and its stout giant body disappeared, turning back into Gu form and flying away shakily.
The giant strength path phantom grabbed the Immortal Gu and smiled malevolently towards Fang Yuan.
"Hei Lou Lan's true strength has reached such a level!"
"Too terrifying, he can almost destroy an Immortal Gu!"
"My loss in this Imperial Court contest was not unjust…"
Ye Lui Sang and others looked on with wide open eyes.
Hei Lou Lan's battle strength was absolutely not inferior to Fang Yuan's, and was even higher in certain aspects because of his Great Strength True Martial Physique.
Flying Bear Phantom was an Immortal Gu but without any Gu worms as assistance and Fang Yuan not maneuvering it personally, it was normal for it to be captured by Hei Lou Lan.
The flying bear phantom was destroyed, while Tai Bai Yun Sheng was using all his strength to contend with Giant Sun's will for the supreme true inheritance. As such, Fang Yuan who was in an intense battle with the river-like Giant Sun's will was alone and facing danger.
"You have a good head on your shoulders, I will take it as my victory trophy and preserve it." Hei Lou Lan's voice came out from the giant strength path phantom.
It slowly flew towards Fang Yuan.
"Fang Yuan, give up resisting. You no longer have a way out!" The river-like Giant Sun's will spoke.
Although it had fought with Fang Yuan only for a short time, its size was already less than half of before.
One could say Fang Yuan, being able to force the Immortal Venerable's will to this state, had tremendous battle strength which was not inferior to Hei Lou Lan's.
Unfortunately, he was shrouded in a black coffin luck aura and his circumstances were extremely bad. Even if he was greatly resourceful and extremely brave, it seemed that he would be unable to reverse this situation!
"Hahaha…" Fang Yuan threw his head back and laughed loudly!
His laughter resounded through the battlefield, displaying a matchless bravery!
"Giant Sun's will, you want to break my spirit by every possible means, but my heart is like iron and my will is like steel! Our battle has just begun."
The river-like Giant Sun's will did not retort, instead falling into silence.
The giant strength path phantom Hei Lou Lan had transformed into also stopped its movements.
Heaven and earth qi manifested around Fang Yuan.
Gu Masters shattered their aperture to ascend to Gu Immortal realm, which would attract heaven and earth qi. Fang Yuan was inside Eighty-Eight True Yang Building which delayed this for a moment.
That short moment was the most dangerous and most difficult time, but Fang Yuan was able to hold on by exerting all of his methods.
In the vicinity of heaven and earth qi, ordinary Gu worms could not be used and their activation would cause a backlash. In severe cases, even Immortal Gu could also perish.
Hei Lou Lan was only using mortal Gu, and had no choice but to stop.
The process of Fang Yuan's immortal ascension had officially begun.

Chapter 627: Top Ten Catastrophes, Chaotic Branching Teeth
Clear and glorious heaven qi, golden earth qi, more and more of them surrounded Fang Yuan.
Hei Lou Lan and the others retreated.
The river-like Giant Sun's will growled endlessly, but did not dare to charge in abruptly.
After the intense battle with Fang Yuan, its mass was reduced by more than half.
It was anxious internally: "Damn it! Unless the main will sends reinforcements over, I alone cannot take down this Fang Yuan."
The battlefield turned silent temporarily.
Fang Yuan saw that the situation had progressed just as he expected, breathing out a huge sigh of relief.
In the contest for Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, after several twists and turns, the current situation was becoming clearer.
Fang Yuan's situation was like walking on a tightrope, intense wind was blowing and he was almost blown away several times, losing his initiative. If not for his brilliant schemes and endless trump cards, he would not have lasted this long.
Especially this time, Fang Yuan gambled his life, bravely going for a mutual defeat, finally managing to get back the initiative.
"My northern plains trip has reached the most crucial climax! Next, my immortal ascension is extremely important, it can almost decide victory and loss in this battle!" Fang Yuan concentrated his mind, just as he had said, the real battle was just beginning.
"Junior brother, don't be too careless!" Tai Bai Yun Sheng's tone was solemn, his gaze was anxious as his heart was full of worry.
He had just become an immortal, he was extremely clear about the difficulties of immortal ascension. He knew: If not for Giant Sun's will's help, he would not have succeeded. Even if he had his life's accumulation and that deep foundation!
"Sigh, junior brother is too young and daring, he should not have made this choice! Had I known earlier, I would not have let him take this step! Sigh, hopefully, he had received master's guidance and can succeed luckily…" Tai Bai Yun Sheng sighed in his heart.
Fang Yuan made eye contact with Tai Bai Yun Sheng, nodding his head.
Next, he closed his eyes, his mind entering his aperture.
Ordinary Gu Masters and Gu Immortals, in their entire lives, they can only have one aperture. But Fang Yuan had once taken a major risk in three kings blessed land, obtaining an immense opportunity. Thus, after using the second aperture Immortal Gu, he now had two apertures.
After the imperial court contest, both his apertures were rank five peak stage, crystal purple primeval essence!
There were three steps in immortal ascension, the first was to shatter the aperture.
Fang Yuan shattered the second aperture.
When Gu Masters shatter their aperture, they can only advance with no way of retreating. That is because they only have one aperture.
But Fang Yuan had two.
That means, even if Fang Yuan fails this tribulation, he would lose one aperture, but he would still keep another aperture.
Keeping one aperture could preserve his life.
This was one of the benefits of second aperture Gu.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng did not know this secret, if he knew, the worry in his heart would dissipate greatly.
Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
Lightning bolts shot down endlessly, targeting Giant Sun's will.
"Fang Yuan you scoundrel, you will die a terrible death!" Giant Sun's will howled, he resisted the tribulation lightning as his golden sand-like will exploded time and time again.
This lightning bolt was extraordinary, it had the appearance of a trident and had great power, as one of the ten great catastrophes.
Originally, snow war tribulation lightning did not strike at such close intervals, one bolt would form every tens of breaths' time. But now, when Fang Yuan shattered his aperture and drew in the heaven and earth qi, a new heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity were formed.
The heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity fused with the once in ten years blizzard, increasing the power of the snow disaster.
Snow war tribulation lightning acted like it was on drugs, in its excitement, several bolts were shot down with less than a breath's interval each time!
Every time he resisted it, Giant Sun's will paid a heavy price.
But he could not leave.
Eighty-Eight True Yang Building needed his protection.
Now that Eighty-Eight True Yang Building had lost almost all its functions, it was like an empty shell. If Giant Sun's will's protection was lifted, in just a moment, the entire Eighty-Eight True Yang Building would be crumbled under the terrifying might of the heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity.
Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was an inheritance treasury that Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had left behind, with Giant Sun's will as the controller of this building. Its main objective forced Giant Sun's will to resist the heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity head on.
This way, he had become Fang Yuan's protector during this tribulation.
Protecting his sworn enemy and helping him to ascension to immortal realm, Giant Sun's will, who was forced by circumstances and had to do this, could feel an immense humiliation and rage in his heart.
"Fang Yuan, you scoundrel, once I survive this heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity, I will tear your tendons out, I will drink your blood and eat your flesh!" Giant Sun's will howled, even though there was the sound of thunder, it could not mask his rage.
Very soon, his howling came to an end, it turned into shock: "This, this is the chaotic branching teeth!"
Only to see that in the air filled with lightning and thunder, eighteen spirals appeared.
The spirals spun faster and faster, as they expanded rapidly.
In each of these black spirals, there was a large snow-white beast tooth forming slowly.
A total of eighteen beast teeth, each white as snow, with a huge size like that of ancient trees, over thirty meters tall.
The beast teeth were waiting to strike, and an intense feeling of danger struck Giant Sun's will's heart.
Chaotic branching teeth was also one of the top ten catastrophes, ranked higher than even the snow war tribulation lightning, and had greater might.
"I cannot allow all eighteen chaotic branching teeth to strike at the same time! At that time, even I cannot resist it… I must destroy them in advance!!" Giant Sun's will was full of battle experience, he chose to strike immediately.
He had no hesitation, creating ten wills in the form of dragons, flying about and charging towards the heavenly tribulation in the sky with no fear.
However, along the way, there were wind blades, icy hail, and snow war tribulation lightning that attacked non stop. The ten dragon will suffered heavy casualties along the way, only five made it to the spirals.
In fact, the result of their attacks was not very evident.
Only three succeeded, destroying the spirals. The remaining two dragon wills suffered too much damage, the spirals that they charged towards flickered for a bit before recovering.
The tribulation lightning crackled, the speed of attacks becoming even quicker than before! It was like a wordless mockery towards Giant Sun's will.
"Damn it! Despicable!' Giant Sun's will was helpless, he split out another ten dragons and charged again in desperation.
Within true inheritance secluded domain, it was a scene of serenity.
Fang Yuan shut his eyes, his expression was calm and he breathed in relaxation.
His mind was mostly focused on the shattered second aperture.
"My first aperture is my vital Gu Spring Autumn Cicada. This Gu is incomparably important, if I ascend to immortal realm with it, I will be a time path Gu Immortal. But my knowledge of time path is too limited, and to undergo tribulation with Immortal Gu, I cannot take this risk without any experience."
"Only the second aperture, with the vital Gu all-out effort Gu, I can become a strength path Gu Immortal. Since rebirth, I had studied strength path intensely, although it is not on the level of blood path, I still have the foundation to become an immortal."
This second aperture had already shattered into a mess, forming a hole and sucking in the heaven qi and earth qi.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng was less than a hundred years old, but he had the foundation and accumulation to become a Gu Immortal. Fang Yuan had five hundred years of experience, and his knowledge surpassed Tai Bai Yun Sheng who had an immortal inheritance, it was definitely more than sufficient for him to rise to immortal.
"Except that now, it is still not the best time to ascend to immortal." Fang Yuan laughed bitterly in his mind.
Fang Yuan's strength path cultivation had not reached its limits. He had only a hundred jun of strength, and his bones were impermanence bones, his skin was turtle jade wolf skin, and his strength path Gu worms were not all rank five.
All these affected his future potential after becoming an immortal, as well as the size of his immortal aperture, it would be best if he could perfect them. Fang Yuan's original intention was to accumulate his foundation to the absolute limit before taking the risk of immortal ascension after making ample preparation.
Unfortunately, plans do not keep up with changes.
Forced by the situation, Fang Yuan could only do this.
As the heaven and earth qi entered his body, at the same time, Fang Yuan's body was emitting a thick white human qi.
The thickness of the human qi was like a huge balloon, completely covering Fang Yuan's entire body.
Hei Lou Lan saw this and his pupils shrunk.
Ye Lui Sang said in disbelief: "How is this possible, he has such thick human qi, this is even greater than Tai Bai Yun Sheng!"
"To think that junior brother's foundation is so deep. I can see that junior brother had made preparations for this immortal ascension long ago, he is not taking an impulsive risk." Tai Bai Yun Sheng looked with a surprised gaze, his heart settling.
The clear and unrestrained heaven qi, the golden and heavy earth qi, together with the pure white as snow human qi, the three merged and formed a multi-colored lump.
At this point, he had reached the second step of immortal ascension — taking in the qi.
"Damn it, the scoundrel has starting taking in the qi. Why are the reinforcements not here yet?" The river-like Giant Sun's will was burning with anxiety.
He did not dare to act rashly.
Once he was stained by heaven qi, he would melt into air. If he was corroded by earth qi, he would turn into rocks and die.
Fang Yuan, who was the intersection point of the three qi faced dangers after dangers even more so.
He had to balance the three qi at all times, if there were too much heaven and earth qi, he would die. Even human qi, if the balance was off, would cause him to self-detonate.
However, fortune is found within danger, the greater the risks, the greater the opportunities.
The balance of the three qi, the fusion between them was bringing Fang Yuan an unceasing amount of inspiration.
Heaven and earth were the foundation stones that nurtured all life, the fusion of heaven and earth qi filled Fang Yuan's mind with the grand mysteries of the Great Dao.
The three qi were fusing intensely, as Fang Yuan was inside, returning to his usual appearance after recalling the six arm heavenly zombie king killer move.
His injuries were rapidly healing, the healing speed was faster than his healing during six arm heavenly zombie king mode!
The three qi cleansed his body, not just his flesh, but his soul, mind, and will, they were being elevated.
He felt like a baby, being cleansed and returned to a pure state. Fang Yuan's eyes became clearer, the contrast between the black and white parts became more evident. His muscles were reconstructed one by one, the scars on his body fell off, and new skin grew on him. Even his hair started growing wildly, it grew longer and longer, when they were waist long, they broke, before growing again, and breaking, repeating the cycle…
Be it his body, his bones, his organs or his face, they were undergoing a magical transformation.
At the same time, the experiences in his previous five hundred years, as well as the events since rebirth flashed in his mind rapidly.
In just a short amount of time, Fang Yuan revisited his entire life.
A complex feeling that was indescribable, his memories that were deep within his mind all resurfaced, filling Fang Yuan's heart.
In his memories, all those cultivation questions that could not be answered obtained perfect answers like the work of a deity.
At this moment, heaven and earth were impartial, they were generous and imparted the mysterious of the Great Dao towards Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan had to deal with his emotions while cherishing this opportunity to learn more about the mysteries of the Great Dao, and in the meantime balancing the three qi. Should he lose balance, he would die.
Countless Gu Masters failed at this step during their ascension!

Chapter 628: Formidable Hei Lou Lan
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
In true inheritance secluded domain, Fang Yuan was surrounded by the thick lump of the three colored qi, his body completely hidden.
"Junior brother, you have to control yourself. I am not concerned with you having to deal with the emotional turbulence, but I'm afraid that you are young and brave, and might be greedy towards the mysteries of the Great Dao, forgetting your limits and taking in too much heaven and earth qi." Tai Bai Yun Sheng's gaze was filled with worry.
Heaven and earth qi had already spread to his surroundings, he had to flew away from Fang Yuan slowly.
Giant Sun's will who was fighting with him over the control of the supreme true inheritance slowed his steps.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng's pressure reduced, and his situation turned for the better.
"This accursed scoundrel, he actually has so much human qi. Damn it, why hasn't he lost balance yet?" The river-like Giant Sun's will gritted his teeth and cursed.
He was not the only one hoping for such a result, Hei Lou Lan and the others were having the same thoughts.
"This guy is so young, yet he can balance the three qi for so long!"
"He and Tai Bai Yun Sheng address each other as disciple brothers, they must have some extraordinary origin. Don't tell me he is really going to become a Gu Immortal?"
"No way! Is becoming a Gu Immortal so easy! Do you think Ancestor Giant Sun is useless?"
Everyone conversed in secret, not daring to make a move. With such intense heaven and earth qi, once they suffer a backlash, it would be no joke.
Fang Yuan was inside the lump of qi, but his calm face showed a faint smile.
"Incredible, simply incredible…" his eyes were shut tight as he mumbled. All sorts of Great Dao mysteries were flowing into his mind like a warm spring.
In his previous life, Fang Yuan underwent immortal ascension and became a blood path Gu Immortal, this was his second ascension.
With this valuable experience, he was much calmer than any other Gu Master in the world. Compared to usual Gu Masters, he also knew the truth behind this event.
Man is the spirit of all being, they have the greatest spirituality. Gu are the essence of heaven and earth, they are the carriers of the Great Dao.
Any path to longevity was a path of transcendency.
To transcend, one needed accumulation.
And the most basic method of accumulating one's foundation was to learn.
Gu Masters use Gu, nurture Gu, and refine Gu. From Gu, they learn about the mysteries of heaven and earth indirectly.
But when a Gu Master undergoes ascension, they were directly conversing and interacting with heaven and earth.
This interaction was extremely precious, most likely, each person only had one of such an opportunity in their life.
Fang Yuan treasured this opportunity greatly, he grabbed onto it and tried his best to make use of it.
The mysteries of heaven and earth were even deeper and more profound than the depths of the sea. Fang Yuan knew his limits, he did not venture into it aimlessly, but instead, steered towards strength path, deepening his understanding and feeling the true essence of this path.
He had after all, only cultivated strength path on the side in his previous life, even though he cultivated strength path directly in this life, it was only for a short time.
His original attainment in strength path, strictly speaking, was only quasi strength path master.
But making use of this opportunity, his understanding of strength path surged, bursting through the sky! Very quickly, he got past the barrier to strength path master, quickly surpassing master realm and charging towards the realm of grandmaster.
Fang Yuan had no choice but to do this.
The second aperture that he shattered had the rank four all-out effort Gu as its vital Gu. This Gu was of the strength path, if it was put in first during the third step, it would help Fang Yuan become a strength path Gu Immortal.
But this Gu was not rank five, with a lower rank, Fang Yuan could only use a higher strength path attainment to compensate for the difference, otherwise, the third step of putting in Gu would be extremely risky. If the immortal aperture could not be created, this immortal ascension would end in failure.
Outside True Yang Building.
Intense winds were blowing, tribulation lightning was striking!
The heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities formed a cocoon qi lump, the qi lump was extremely huge and completely covered Eighty-Eight True Yang Building within it.
After Fang Yuan shattered his aperture, the heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities underwent a new terrifying change.
In order to protect Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, Giant Sun's will had no choice but to resist it, now was the crucial moment!
Bam…
Following the intense sounds of the wind, nine snow white chaotic branching teeth shot out together like lightning.
Their speed was so fast only nine shadows could be seen, resembling flashes of lightning.
Giant Sun's will was already mentally prepared, he had been waiting.
The will armor that was shielding Eighty-Eight True Yang Building increased in thickness by many times, becoming ten meters thick.
At the same time, Giant Sun's will split out dozens of will hands, opening the palms and creating a barrier in the air.
Nine chaotic branching teeth shot down at once, during their descent they collided with each other, causing their directions to change randomly, turning left and right, it was unpredictable.
The will hands flew around following them, defending desperately.
The chaotic branching teeth pierced many of the will hands, stabbing the main Giant Sun's will and causing nine deep holes to appear on the thick will armor that was a thousand times tougher than steel.
Giant Sun's will grunted, the will's main body was only chaotic for a moment before calming down.
Looking at his injuries, Giant Sun's will could not help but feel shocked.
Nine wounds of varying depth, two were six meters deep, almost piercing into Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, it was really a dangerous scene.
"Thankfully, I spared no effort in destroying half of the chaotic branching teeth earlier. Otherwise, if all eighteen moved at once, their trajectory would be even harder to predict, how would I be able to weaken them while in the air?"
Giant Sun's will felt some relief, but his hatred and anger towards Fang Yuan also intensified: "This accursed scoundrel Fang Yuan! I am actually shielding him during his immortal ascension! As long as I recover sufficiently, I will definitely… eh!"
Giant Sun's will stared at the eighteen spirals forming in the air in a daze.
"There is actually a second wave of chaotic branching teeth?!" Seeing this, Giant Sun's will was fuming with anger.
To defend against the chaotic branching teeth earlier, he had expended a sixth of his thoughts. But now there was a second wave!
"Wait, this is?!"
Among the eighteen spirals, another eighteen spirals started forming.
Seeing this, even Giant Sun's will felt suffocated.
"The third wave of chaotic branching teeth came together with the second?!" He howled at the sky, the armor-like main will shook intensely, almost breaking apart. If he could vomit blood, he would have vomited a river by now.
Earlier when defending against the nine chaotic branching teeth, Giant Sun's will had already used his full strength.
Right now, there were a total of thirty-six spirals, thirty-six chaotic branching teeth, this fearsome power could not be calculated by simple addition!
"This scoundrel Fang Yuan! I curse you to die!!" Giant Sun's will almost wanted to discard Eighty-Eight True Yang Building at this moment, directly going to Fang Yuan and killing him without considering the consequences.
But he was not an anger will, but a special will.
He had to think of the big picture, he had to protect this inheritance treasure which was Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
He had to contact the other subsidiary wills and gather all his strength, in order to resist these heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities.
"What? The main will wants to send me to defend against the heavenly tribulations?!" Within true inheritance secluded domain, the river-like Giant Sun's will was still waiting for reinforcement, but the reply from the main will caused his heart to turn cold, like he had fallen into an icy river.
"God damn it!" Giant Sun's will which was contesting with Tai Bai Yun Sheng over the supreme true inheritance felt great regret, but he had to divert most of his strength to the main will.
But to prevent Eighty-Eight True Yang Building from being taken by Tai Bai Yun Sheng, a portion of Giant Sun's will was still needed to maintain the situation inside the true inheritance light lump.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng felt his pressure decreasing all of a sudden, and heaved a sigh of relief.
"Giant Sun's will has finally stopped expanding! Junior brother, your plan has worked perfectly. It seems that the fusion of three heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities creates terrifying might that would force even Giant Sun's will to defend against it with all his strength. Junior brother, you are worthy of being benefactor's disciple, you need to survive this. The third step of putting in Gu is the most important of all, success or failure will all depend on this!"
As time continued to pass, the three colored qi lump surrounding Fang Yuan started shrinking, until it completely went into the area of Fang Yuan's broken aperture.
"He actually completed the step of taking in the qi, he is at the final step!" Hei Lou Lan and the others were watching by the side, seeing Giant Sun's will retreating, they panicked.
"What do we do now? Do we just watch him become a Gu Immortal?!" Ye Lui Sang screamed.
"Fang Yuan has no more heaven and earth qi around him, we should go and kill him now." Bian Si Xuan suggested, but she made no movement.
Everyone looked at each other, they were shocked, suspicious, and in a difficult spot.
Fang Yuan still had the Gu Immortal Tai Bai Yun Sheng supporting him.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng's pressure was lifted, he held the true inheritance light lump as he faced Hei Lou Lan and the rest of the gang, showing an unyielding attitude.
"Tai Bai Yun Sheng is not a problem, but once the immortal ascension succeeds, our problems would be endless. He is not a weak healing Gu Immortal like Tai Bai Yun Sheng…" Hei Lou Lan clenched his fists, a fierce light shining in his eyes.
After thinking about it, he made up his mind and shouted: "Attack!"
Saying so, the strength path phantom giant took huge strides forward, attacking.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng was crying in his heart, he did not dare to take on Hei Lou Lan's attacks directly, he shouted: "You dare! As long as you come, I will throw this supreme true inheritance at the luck path true inheritance, let's see how you account to Giant Sun's will then!"
Everyone's fighting intent evaporated after hearing Tai Bai Yun Sheng's threat, their morale sinking.
Don't listen to him, we'll leave a few people to protect the luck path true inheritance, the rest will come with me!" Hei Lou Lan snorted, immediately saying.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng's heart sank, it was difficult for him to handle the situation.
"Hahaha…" At this moment, Fang Yuan laughed wildly from behind him.
He had already opened his eyes: "Never mind! Come and chase me. Let's see how many of you are flying masters!"
Eagle rise Gu had already been destroyed, but why would the vigilant him not have spares?
Fang Yuan owned Hu Immortal blessed land and could connect to treasure yellow heaven, he did not lack any mortal Gu.
This sentence was even more demoralising to the gang compared to Tai Bai Yun Sheng. Once they thought of Fang Yuan's flying master attainment, and the huge space that was available in true inheritance secluded domain, all of their morale almost hit rock bottom.
Hei Lou Lan's gaze shone for a bit, but he was unmoved.
He was the Lord of the Imperial Court for this round, he had exemplary talent and a ruthless nature, he would not become dejected with just a few words.
"We will chase him even if we cannot catch him, I want to see how he can undergo immortal ascension under such pressure!" Hei Lou Lan's words lifted the morale once again.
Fang Yuan's expression turned grim, he did not speak anymore.
Hei Lou Lan hit the main point.
During an ordinary immortal ascension, the heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity would be all around him, if his enemies wanted to obstruct him, they would face the might of the heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity.
But now that Giant Sun's will was blocking the heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities outside, it gave Hei Lou Lan and the others an opportunity to intervene.
Although in this true inheritance secluded domain, there was still heaven and earth qi left that could cause backlash in mortal Gu.
But Hei Lou Lan and the others were just like Fang Yuan, they were all using mortal Gu, thus they all faced the same backlash.
At once, the situation changed again.
Although Giant Sun's will left to resist the heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities wholeheartedly, Fang Yuan's predicament did not become any easier.
Hei Lou Lan was indeed a formidable character, he was an outstanding person and knew the perfect timing to strike.
Fang Yuan's immortal ascension was stuck between the second and third step, the situation had turned dangerous yet again.

"Fang Yuan, why are you running?"
"You cowardly scum, are you afraid? Do you have the guts to fight me for three hundred rounds?!"
"You are unworthy of disguising as Chang Shan Yin. You don't even have one percent of his bravery."
Inside true inheritance secluded domain. Fang Yuan was flying away rapidly while the others chased from behind, taunting him endlessly.
These insults and provocations fell on deaf ears, Fang Yuan's expression was tranquil without any emotions.
He was closely observing his surroundings, true inheritance secluded domain was vast but it was not a flat area and many true inheritance meteors flew around in disorder, even colliding occasionally.
Giant Sun's will had taken control of many true inheritances just before, but there were still many masterless true inheritances left in true inheritance secluded domain.
If Fang Yuan was unfortunately obstructed by these true inheritances, the group of Gu Masters behind him would be able to near him. Once he was encircled, the situation would turn much more dangerous.
Right at this moment, a dark red true inheritance meteor flew towards Fang Yuan.
Wind flower Gu.
Fang Yuan, however, had a slight smile on his face as he inwardly willed.
A gust of wind condensed into a giant flower which suddenly appeared beside him. The wind flower nimbly changed its direction, carrying him with it.
Swoosh—!
A sharp ear-piercing wind breezed past; Fang Yuan brushed past this unparalleled true inheritance light lump.
The unparalleled true inheritance shot forward directly towards the group of Gu Masters behind; the group was caught unprepared and panicked for a moment, dodging and fleeing.
Taking advantage of this time, Fang Yuan increased his speed and rapidly pulled apart the distance between him and the group.
Hei Lou Lan's group naturally was not willing to see this situation. Each of them was an elite; they immediately reacted and sent out countless long range attacks.
Fang Yuan sneered, using the primeval essence in his first aperture.
Flash bug Gu.
This was a rare space path movement Gu and under its effect, Fang Yuan immediately disappeared from the spot.
When he appeared, he was already five hundred steps ahead.
The attacks from Hei Lou Lan and the others thus landed on nothing.
Fang Yuan stopped flash bug Gu and changed to eagle rise Gu.
Flash bug Gu was a rank five Gu but its speed was not great, and it also expended a lot of purple crystal primeval essence to move forward by five hundred steps per use. Its main usage was to make sudden movements to avoid attacks.
To truly speed up and fly for a long distance, eagle rise Gu was still a lot better.
Eagle rise Gu might only be rank four Gu, but there were six wings on Fang Yuan's back; he had simultaneously used three eagle rise Gu!
Eagle rise Gu's speed was very impressive and rapidly transported him away, while also consuming less primeval essence.
The group of Gu Masters chasing Fang Yuan could only gnash their teeth as he rapidly flew away.
"Damn it! This guy is truly slippery, only focusing on running away, he has not even a bit of bravery."
"Didn't he shatter his aperture to ascend to Gu Immortal? How come he still has so much primeval essence left?"
"Hmph, there are many methods for Gu Masters to preserve primeval essence. So what if the aperture is shattered? One just needs to have Gu that can store primeval essence like fish bubble Gu, beggar moth or grave yam Gu."
"My movement Gu can't endure it, the backlash from heaven and earth qi is really terrifying."
Hei Lou Lan sneered: "We are suffering backlash, he is also in the same situation. We will continue chasing without stop. The enemy is a flying master, it is normal for us to not be able to reach him. But as long as we chase closely and not give him time to advance to a Gu Immortal, we will have fulfilled our objective!"
Fang Yuan glanced back and seeing that the pursuers had no intention of giving up, the anxiety in his heart deepened.
Without doubt, he had to admit that Hei Lou Lan was striking at his weak point.
Bursts of pain spread from his second aperture.
The second aperture was already shattered, forming a hole which was occupied by a lump of three colored qi at this moment, waiting for the vital Gu to be put into it and reach the final step, accumulating its foundation till the immortal aperture is born.
If the immortal aperture was not created, Fang Yuan would perish from the backlash of heaven and earth qi.
If the immortal aperture was created, no matter which grade it was, Fang Yuan would have to concentrate on it fully at that moment, causing him to enter a period of weakness where he would be defenseless.
This time could be long or short, depending on the person.
If the enemies took advantage of this time, Fang Yuan's situation would be bleak and was very likely to die in a tragic end!
At present, Hei Lou Lan's group was firmly blocking Fang Yuan at this step.
Fang Yuan did not dare to place in his Gu and could only look on as the extremely compressed three colored lump of qi started to vibrate.
"I can't continue like this! If it is put off any longer, the three colored lump of qi will disperse and all my accumulations used in advancing to Gu Immortal will vanish into thin air." Fang Yuan kept on thinking of one solution after another to get out of this predicament.
Rumble…
Right at this time, true inheritance secluded domain started shaking.
Rumble…
Another tremor soon spread, causing everyone to panic.
"What is going on?"
"What happened, is true inheritance secluded domain collapsing?"
Hei Lou Lan, Ye Lui Sang and others had a worried expression, realizing fully well in their mind: this was the heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities outside starting to affect Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng were instead overjoyed, this signified Giant Sun's will had already staked all its strength but the heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities was so terrifying that even it had reached its limit.
"Damn it, damn it… I barely endured it!" Giant Sun's will gasped for breath with fear and joy, it did not even have the energy to curse Fang Yuan.
The ten meter thick golden armor created by Giant Sun's will that had covered Eighty-Eight True Yang Building tightly was now left with nothing but a thin layer with its luster dimmed.
Thirty-six chaotic branching teeth attacking together was not a simple matter of addition, their overall might was amplified by close to ten times!
During this whole process snow war tribulation lightning attacked crazily like the attacks were free. The lightning which flashed in intervals before had almost become unending like sunlight; one could see the terrifying frequency of snow war tribulation lightning.
Giant Sun's will avoided death narrowly, but there was not even one percent of the original will remaining.
He used all his strength and put in all of his effort to destroy eleven spirals in advance. The remaining chaotic branching teeth erupted together, Giant Sun's will used all his ability and blocked most of them, but he could not block seven of them.
Seven scars appeared on Eighty-Eight True Yang Building. Four scars even directly penetrated through True Yang Building, opening up four passages.
The tremor Fang Yuan and the rest felt in true inheritance secluded domain originated from this.
"My Eighty-Eight True Yang Building…" Giant Sun's will's heart bled at the sight and almost howled out in grief.
The losses were too severe, not only were the numbers of Gu worms destroyed extremely huge, two immortal Gu were also destroyed.
Who knew how long it would take to replenish these Gu worms and restore Eighty-Eight True Yang Building to its complete form.
"Fang Yuan, you insufferable bastard. You are undergoing the tribulation, yet I was the one who bore the consequences! I will make sure you regret being born into this world!"
Giant Sun's will cursed fiercely in his heart.
The giant cocoon formed from the heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities had already thinned.
Several rays of light pierced through the layers of dark clouds and shone down on the damaged Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
Heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities were slowly dissipating.
Giant Sun's will felt a huge stone lifting off his heart and was joyous to the point of crying: "The heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities have finally ended!"
"I managed to endure it! Although Eighty-Eight True Yang Building suffered heavy damage, the fundamental Gu worms haven't been lost, and the mortal Gu might have been destroyed in large numbers, but they can be replenished. The destroyed immortal Gu are rather troublesome to obtain, but they also can be refined again. Even if others refine them first, I can use other Gu worms to replace them. The situation is set, now I shall get rid of the otherworldly demon then teach that scum Fang Yuan his place!"
The heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities were dissipating in front of his eyes, Giant Sun's will saw the time to take revenge was here and his mood took a turn for the better.
However, right at this time, a light blue giant hand gradually appeared in front of Giant Sun's will.
"Thi…This is…?!"
The remaining Giant Sun's will trembled intensely, even more frightened than seeing seventy or even eighty chaotic branching teeth at once.
"This is Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable's killer move — Formless Hand. This accursed Fang Yuan, how is his luck so bad that he attracted this disaster!"
Rank nine Gu Immortals were invincible under the heavens and could leave behind unique traces in the whole world.
Even after death, some of their killer moves could emerge again during heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities.
"I got it! This Fang Yuan is too audacious, he was set on killing the child of luck Ma Hong Yun and suffered the backlash from fortune rivalling heaven Gu, causing his luck to be completely messed up, thus attracting such terrifying a heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity!"
Giant Sun's will felt extremely agonized when he realized the cause.
Going to the bottom of this, it was Giant Sun Immortal Venerable who left behind fortune rivaling heaven Gu. Under an absurd combination of different factors, Giant Sun's will was actually suffering a loss from his own arrangement!
"Back then, the whole world was helpless when Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable used formless hand to rob countless Gu worms. Fortunately, this formless hand only has five fingers, thus at most, it can only seize rank five Gu, Gu, Gu… oh heavens!"
Giant Sun's will's pitch suddenly rose an octave higher, crying out in shock.
The heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity slowly dissipated, large numbers of formless hands appeared one after another.
Two, three… twenty, thirty… two hundred, three hundred…
Innumerable formless hands appeared, covering the whole sky!
Among them, one finger to five fingered formless hands occupied the majority.
There were sixteen six fingered formless hands and nine seven fingered formless hands.
There were even three eight fingered formless hands!
"Impossible! Even if Fang Yuan was targeted by fortune rivaling heaven Gu and his luck became terrible, it could not have gotten to this extent!" Giant Sun's will shouted in an incredulous tone.
"It's over, everything is finished!" Giant Sun's will howled, if he could cry, his face would be filled with tears right now.
Instantly, the large number of Giant Sun's will dispersed and fell down from Eighty-Eight True Yang Building like sand.
This was the self-collapse of a will!
There was not even a trace of fighting spirit left, it could not endure such an impact.
The heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities had not ended, but were transforming into this final tribulation.
Formless hands!
The remaining Giant Sun's will curled up into a lump, exposing Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
Inside true inheritance secluded domain, Fang Yuan and the others were still in the dark, not knowing anything that occurred outside.
The chase was still continuing.
Due to the backlash of heaven and earth qi, the loss of Gu worms on both sides had reached the hundreds. But they were still persisting firmly.
Fang Yuan had almost no movement Gu left, but he had already found a way to resolve this predicament!
He led the pursuers to make a large detour before suddenly changing direction and flying towards Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
"Senior brother, quickly open your immortal aperture and let me in. I can evade these pursuers and smoothly advance to a Gu Immortal there!" Fang Yuan secretly transmitted his voice.
"This…" Tai Bai Yun Sheng could not help but hesitate.
The immortal aperture was the foundation of a Gu Immortal. If Fang Yuan was let in and he failed, the resulting destruction would have to be endured by Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
"Senior brother, what are you hesitating for at such a crucial moment? Once I advance to a Gu Immortal, we will have the strength to survive this danger. Don't worry, I have complete assurance in advancing successfully!" Fang Yuan shouted.
