Demon Immortal Qi Jue revived, he suppressed Heavenly Court, Southern
Border, and the two heavens. News of this battle soon spread in the entire Gu
Immortal world, everyone in the world was shocked.

“To think that Demon Immortal Qi Jue revived!”

“The world is really going into chaos, I wonder how many great experts will
revive next?”

“Demon Immortal Qi Jue was able to revive, there’s no reason the

venerables cannot, right? Oh heavens!”

“No wonder they said Great Dream Immortal Venerable would be the
strongest venerable in history. Being able to emerge as a venerable in this
terrifying era means they have to be incredibly strong.”

While countless Gu Immortals made their guesses, the three parties involved
were actively recuperating.

Dragon Palace.

“Sigh, I thought that I would be able to obtain Qi Jue’s true inheritance, to

think that it was a trap!”

“Now that Demon Immortal Qi Jue has revived and we actually offended
him, what do we do now?”

“It is all Xiao He Jian’s fault, he caused our two heavens alliance to fall into
this awkward position.”

Most of the variant human Gu Immortals looked towards Xiao He Jian with
animosity.

Xiao He Jian smiled coldly, he knew that this was the act of Ice Crystal
Immortal Monarch, attempting to suppress him.
He had just joined the two heavens alliance but because of his great strength
and reputation, he was already threatening Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch’s
status, this was the cause of the animosity from the opposing faction.

“Have you all said enough?” At the main seat, Wu Shuai snorted coldly in
displeasure.

Instantly, Dragon Palace became silent, all the immortals shut up.

At this point, Xiao He Jian showed a shameful expression, he bowed to Wu

Shuai, saying in a tone of sincerity: “Lord Alliance Leader, I am at fault…”

But before he continued, Wu Shuai interrupted: “Enough, keep quiet. Even if

Demon Immortal Qi Jue comes, we have the Evil Dragon and Dragon Palace,
what is there to fear? The most urgent matter now is the qi harvest fruits in
your grotto-heavens.”

“Demon Immortal Qi Jue revived using a qi harvest fruit, this thing clearly
contains secrets and profundities, we have not explored it sufficiently. How
are we going to get rid of the qi harvest fruits in your grotto-heavens? If we
do not act quickly, your grotto-heavens will be in danger.”

“Indeed, indeed.”

“Lord Alliance Leader is right!”

“My grotto-heaven has already started producing a qi harvest fruit, this fruit
is absorbing the heaven and earth qi of my grotto-heaven, it cannot be
removed by force.”

“The same situation is happening in my grotto-heaven.”

“Right now is not the time to take revenge on Heavenly Court or defend
against Demon Immortal Qi Jue, the most important thing is to get rid of the
qi harvest fruits in our grotto-heavens.”

At once, all the immortals in the palace changed expressions as the topic was
shifted to the qi harvest fruit.
However, this talk bore no fruit, the palace soon became shrouded in an
atmosphere of panic and fear.

Even Xiao He Jian was the same.

Even though his grotto-heaven had not produced any qi harvest fruits yet, at
this rate of development, it was only a matter of time.

Even Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch did not have the mood to compete with
Xiao He Jian.

His Ice Crystal grotto-heaven’s qi harvest fruit was the largest, he was in the
greatest danger.

Night Heavenly Wolf Lord also showed a bitter expression.

His grotto-heaven was not spared either, a qi harvest fruit was growing in it.
Even though it was still small now, it was growing at a terrifying speed.

But Night Heavenly Wolf Lord was much less anxious than the rest.

“If the two heavens alliance cannot resolve it, I can get help from Heavenly
Court.”

At this crucial juncture, Night Heavenly Wolf Lord felt that his decision to
join Heavenly Court was extremely wise!

Night Heavenly Wolf Lord had a lot of expectations towards Heavenly Court.

After all, the first generation Heavenly Court Immortal King was Primordial
Origin Immortal Venerable, he was a qi path cultivator.

Night Heavenly Wolf Lord secretly informed Heavenly Court about this as he
sought help from them.

Heavenly Court had sent Fang Zheng and the rest to Qi Jue grotto-heaven but
Demon Judgment Board did not enter it at all, he did not know what
happened inside.
After getting Night Heavenly Wolf Lord’s information, Heavenly Court
learned the truth.

Qin Ding Ling placed huge emphasis on Demon Immortal Qi Jue’s revival
using the qi harvest fruit, as well as the disaster occurring in the two
heavens’ grotto-heavens! This was because Heavenly Court was not
exempted, a qi harvest fruit was also growing in it.

She immediately summoned the immortals to research and think of

countermeasures.

Heavenly Court had deep foundations, even after the fate war, it was still the
number one super force in the world.

Especially when they had Primordial Origin’s qi path true inheritance, they
had a huge advantage in qi path, they were at the peak compared to all others.

And most importantly, Heavenly Court’s research into heaven path was quite
extensive, they had great results. Back then, even Limitless Demon Venerable
was after their heaven path findings, he made the bet with Star Constellation.

“Heaven, earth, and humans all have veins, humans have human veins, the
earth has earth veins, and heaven has heaven veins.”

“The two heavens’ grotto-heavens are all situated on the heaven veins, thus
they benefit greatly and the grotto-heavens are nourished by the heaven veins,
producing even more resources.”

“However, the world is changing now as qi tides are produced. Qi tides

appeared because of the unification of the five regions, the earth veins are
becoming one. But the truth is, heaven veins are also merging into one,
although the change is not very apparent now.”

Heavenly Court’s immortals found that the whole of heaven and earth was
fusing into one. The five regions were just the start, the two immemorial
heavens would start fusing together later as well. The five regions and two
heavens were all separated originally, their heaven and earth qi were not the
same. But with the fusing of the heaven and earth qi across all regions, qi
tides would emerge as the places where they merge.

Wherever the qi tides go, abundant qi path immortal materials would be

produced, qi harvest fruits were the quintessence of them.

The reason why the two heavens’ grotto-heavens produced qi harvest fruits
was because they were situated on the heaven veins, they were facing the
brunt of the initial impact.

“That is to say, as long as these grotto-heavens relocate away from the

heaven veins, they will resolve the problem of the qi harvest fruit?” Qin Ding
Ling asked.

“Theoretically yes, or at least, once they move away from the heaven veins,
the growth of the qi harvest fruits in the grotto-heavens will stop.” Heavenly
Court’s immortals answered.

Qin Ding Ling frowned: “Once grotto-heavens are placed, they are hard to
relocate, unless one has some special method to move them around. Our
Heavenly Court is too big, it has the foundation of Primordial Origin
Immortal Venerable’s immortal aperture along with the future generations of
venerables, and countless immortal apertures of Heavenly Court members,
how can we relocate Heavenly Court?”

Heavenly Court became silent, they fell into deathly silence.

“Maybe… Demon Immortal Qi Jue has a method?” Breaking the silence,

Fang Zheng spoke.

Qin Ding Ling’s eyes shined with bright light.

That was true, the possibility of this was high!

Since Demon Immortal Qi Jue was able to revive using a qi harvest fruit, his
understanding regarding qi harvest fruits should surpass everyone else. But to
get him to cooperate with Heavenly Court, how hard would it be?!
“According to historical records, Demon Immortal Qi Jue will definitely not
cooperate with Heavenly Court. Rather than him, we have a higher chance of
getting Qi Sea Ancestor’s cooperation.”

“Indeed, we cannot resolve Heavenly Court’s crisis alone. To get rid of this
qi harvest fruit calamity, we need a qi path great expert.”

“Duke Long had once given Qi Sea Ancestor half a portion of Primordial
Origin’s true inheritance. During the fate war, Qi Sea Ancestor did not show
up, he kept his promise. There is still hope of our cooperation now.”

“But Qi Sea Ancestor has some relationship with Fang Yuan…”

“In my opinion, this is a small matter. Ever since Qi Sea Ancestor appeared,
all his actions state one motive. He wants to be the leader of Eastern Sea’s
righteous path, be it the qi sea banquet or the resistance of the two heavens
alliance, they show it clearly. His actions do not align with Fang Yuan’s
interests, even if they cooperated before, it is not our problem.”

“Can’t our Heavenly Court settle this ourselves?”

“It will be too difficult, ever since the immortal graveyard was destroyed,
Star Constellation’s will has not shown up once…”

“If we can cooperate with Qi Sea Ancestor, we might even be able to get him
to join Heavenly Court. We really lack someone with pseudo venerable
battle strength now.”

Qin Ding Ling sighed as she made her decision: “Let’s try it then.”
Chapter 2002: Fragment of Xi
Immemorial white heaven.

Aurora lights moved in the air dazzlingly.

Eastern Sea rank seven Gu Immortal Qing Hui Zi flew around in the sky of
aurora lights, unleashing immortal killer moves to continuously retrieve these
aurora lights.

After gathering the rainbow lights in his hands, he turned them into balls.

The balls were then sent into his immortal aperture and buried in cloud soil.
After some time, these aurora light balls would grow and sprout, becoming
seedlings. By using lightning water and magnetic sound to water them,
flowing light fruits would grow on them.

Flowing light fruits were a rank six immortal material, formed from
extremely dense lights, having all kinds of color like red, brown, yellow,
green, black, blue, purple.

Qing Hui Zi did not only pluck the flowing light fruits, he had his unique
plantation methods. Precisely so, he was one of the three main sellers of
flowing light fruits in treasure yellow heaven.

“With the qi tides weakening the heavenly wind qi wall, I can also get past
them and explore immemorial white heaven for immortal materials. This is
my fortuitous encounter.”

Qing Hui Zi sighed to himself.

Aurora lights were very common in the two heavens, they were produced
abundantly.

Qing Hui Zi collected these aurora lights personally, it caused the cost of
producing flowing light fruits to fall greatly, he could earn a huge profit.
As Qing Hui Zi collected the aurora lights, he paid attention to the heavenly
wind qi wall below him.

He did not have the strength to survive long in immemorial white heaven, he
could not even break the heavenly wind qi wall. Thus, he needed to pay
attention to it constantly, once the hole created by the qi tides start to close
up, he would need to return to Eastern Sea.

It was no joke.

If Qing Hui Zi got distracted and got trapped in immemorial white heaven,
with his strength, he would not last until the next qi tide, he would die in this
dangerous immemorial white heaven.

One could say that Qing Hui Zi was risking his life to get these aurora lights.

But Gu Immortal cultivation was not easy, even as a rank seven Gu Immortal,
Qing Hui Zi needed to take risks to support his livelihood.

“Xi—!”

Right at this time, Qing Hui Zi heard a voice.

Next, winds blew and clouds shook, Qing Hui Zi was shocked to find out that
the heavenly wind qi wall below him was being pulled away by a terrifying
formless force.

In a few breaths of time, the surrounding tens of li of heavenly wind qi wall

got sucked into the whirlpool at the center.

“What is going on?!” Qing Hui Zi was overwhelmed by fear and shock: “Is
that an immemorial desolate beast? But I’ve never heard of any immemorial
desolate beast with such strength!”

The heavenly wind qi wall vanished entirely, a secluded domain of heaven

and earth that had a concave appearance could be seen.

Next, this silhouette of the secluded domain of heaven and earth went into the
nose of a Gu Immortal who resembled a boy.
Qing Hui Zi saw this boyish Gu Immortal, his entire body and mind shook, he
felt like cold water was poured on him, into the depths of his despairing
heart.

“Ah, Demon Immortal Qi Jue!” Qing Hui Zi fell into deep despair: “Why am
I so unlucky? I only wanted to collect aurora lights but I ended up
encountering Demon Immortal Qi Jue!!”

The battle of Qi Jue grotto-heaven had happened recently but it could not be
hidden, the world knew about it already.

Even though the killer move everybody’s vision wasn’t around for all the Gu
Immortals to witness the battle themselves, Demon Immortal Qi Jue’s
appearance and methods were widely spread already.

In the Gu Immortal world, there were a few people publicly recognized as

terrifying beings that had to be avoided at all costs.

The number one person was Fang Yuan.

This demon had countless methods and outstanding strength, he did things
without any regard or concern, he was ruthless and cruel, even Heavenly
Court had no choice against him.

Wu Shuai was also on the list, he was the leader of the dragonmen, owner of
Dragon Palace which enslaved Di Zang Sheng, he bore deep grudges
towards humanity.

Demon Immortal Qi Jue was a newly added person.

As for Heavenly Court and Qi Sea Ancestor, because of their factions, they
would not bully the weak, thus they were not on this list.

After Qing Hui Zi saw Demon Immortal Qi Jue, he recognized the demon, he
stared in shock, frozen on the spot like a statue.

Demon Immortal Qi Jue frowned as he looked at his palm.

His palm was tiny and smooth, his body was still small like a boy.
Thinking about his revival, Demon Immortal Qi Jue felt angry and annoyed.

If he had some more time, he would revive perfectly and have the body of an
adult. But the Evil Dragon caused great destruction in its movement, he had
to revive in advance, it caused his body’s growth to be halted, his potential
was limited.

After absorbing this heavenly wind qi wall, he finally recovered some losses
from the intense battle earlier.

After resting, he was going to set off again.

“Junior, come here.” Demon Immortal Qi Jue looked towards Qing Hui Zi
and called out.

Qing Hui Zi shivered, he went towards Demon Immortal Qi Jue with a bitter
expression, fearing for his life.

Demon Immortal Qi Jue smiled lightly, he stretched out his finger as an eerie
qi current flew out.

The qi current quickly surrounded Qing Hui Zi’s body, he wanted to resist
subconsciously but Demon Immortal Qi Jue shouted: “Don’t move!”

Qing Hui Zi gritted his teeth, not daring to move at all.

He gave up on struggling, he let the qi currents enter his body and move
around his soul.

After some time, Demon Immortal Qi Jue absorbed all of the qi currents that
entered Qing Hui Zi back into his own body.

Instantly, he received a vast amount of information, he gained a much deeper

understanding of the current era.

“This is truly a wonderful era filled with great excitement, interesting!”

Demon Immortal Qi Jue’s eyes shined as he spoke in amazement.

Next, he instructed Qing Hui Zi: “Hand over your Gu worms.”

Qing Hui Zi’s lips twitched, for an instance, he wanted to resist but soon,
logic took over his mind, he obediently handed over all of his Gu worms to
Demon Immortal Qi Jue.

This action made Demon Immortal Qi Jue reassess him.

After taking away these Gu worms, Demon Immortal Qi Jue inspected all of
them, he only took a few glances at Qing Hui Zi’s light path Immortal Gu
before he placed his focus on those exceptional mortal Gu.

Especially Gu worms like soul search Gu, Demon Immortal Qi Jue was very
interested in them.

At the end, he even returned the light path Immortal Gu to Qing Hui Zi.

Qing Hui Zi was very surprised.

Demon Immortal Qi Jue smiled: “Junior, you are not stupid enough to resist
me. Who do you think I am? Why would I be greedy and take your trifling
Immortal Gu? Scram now.”

Qing Hui Zi was in disbelief before it turned into deep joy: “Junior will
never forget Senior Qi Jue’s magnanimity.”

“Hahaha, I searched your soul, why is there a need to thank me?” Demon
Immortal Qi Jue laughed: “Go ahead and hate me, I don’t care. Even though
this era is great, in the entire world, in the absence of the venerables, there
are few people who I can take interest in. Even though I lack Immortal Gu, I
have not sunk down to the level of snatching light path Immortal Gu. I want to
take some qi path Immortal Gu!”

Qing Hui Zi instantly had a thought: “Senior, you want to go to qi sea?”

But at the next moment, Demon Immortal Qi Jue waved his sleeves
impatiently.

Qing Hui Zi was surrounded by qi currents and could not move, he was sent
flying by the movement of the qi currents.
Demon Immortal Qi Jue snorted, he did not look at Qing Hui Zi, he flew
towards the direction of qi sea instead.

“I wonder how powerful this Qi Sea Ancestor is, hehe, I hope his qi path
Immortal Gu will not disappoint me.” Demon Immortal Qi Jue carried great
confidence as he went towards qi sea.

He flew in the sky of Eastern Sea, he was surrounded by qi currents as he

moved rapidly across various sea areas.

He did not conceal his traces, causing huge waves along the way, the
commotion shook the surroundings, his demonic might was exposed in full
view. Along the way, he met several Eastern Sea Gu Immortals, these people
scrambled in panic as they escaped.

“Oh?” Halfway through his journey, Demon Immortal Qi Jue’s expression

turned to shock as he stopped his movement.

He felt a movement in his secluded domain of heaven and earth.

“Don’t tell me?” Demon Immortal Qi Jue was slightly stunned, he thought of
something as joy appeared on his face.

He temporarily put aside the plan to head to qi sea, he changed directions

and went southwest instead.

After some time, he arrived at a sea area.

The sky here had many white clouds, shrouding his vision, he could not see
any starlight. Even when the sun was blazing, the sunlight could not penetrate
the cloud layers, it only made the place brighter.

The surface of the sea was calm but inside it were countless currents. These
currents were of all types and forms. They interlinked with one another, they
moved in this sea area with absolutely no rhythm or pattern. Without the
defensive methods of a Gu Immortal, mortal corpses would be torn to shreds
in the currents instantly.

It was the turbulent flow sea area.

After inspecting it closely, Demon Immortal Qi Jue became quite happy:
“Wonderful, wonderful. This sea area must have a fragment of Xi, that is the
reason why it can create such turbulent currents.”

“To think that my luck would be strong after reviving.”

“I’ll retrieve this fragment first and absorb it before going to find that Qi Sea
Ancestor.”

Thinking of this, Demon Immortal Qi Jue plunged into the sea, vanishing from
plain sight.
Chapter 2003: Qi Jue Suppresses Qi Sea
Inside the sovereign immortal aperture.

The disasters were still ongoing, the situation was slowly moving towards
the abyss of doom.

Fang Yuan’s losses were severe. In order to save his resource points, he had
already deployed the variant human and human Gu Immortals in his immortal
aperture to different areas, they were tasked to take care of the resources and
they were even given mortal Gu that could be used to detect heaven’s will.

Along with Fang Yuan’s time path clone and main body working together to
get rid of the newly created heaven’s will, he managed to save all the large
resource points in the sovereign immortal aperture.

However, as long as the heaven path dao marks were not refined by Fang
Yuan, they would continue to produce endless heaven’s will in increasing
quantity.

Even though Fang Yuan was using his full strength, he could not stop the
situation from aggravating further.

He could only barely protect his resource points now, but the sovereign
immortal aperture was too huge, resource points were only a small part of it.
In most areas, heaven’s will was produced, moving towards the respective
resource points like a huge army.

Fang Yuan knew that this situation was at its most crucial point now!

He could no longer cleanse all the heaven’s will, in order to prevent the
grotto-heaven’s heaven’s will from linking with the five regions, he had to
create an isolated secret space in qi sea, to prevent heaven’s will from
detecting him.

As for the external situation, Demon Immortal Qi Jue’s revival was out of
Fang Yuan’s expectations, Demon Immortal Qi Jue said that he would go and
meet Qi Sea Ancestor, he was not joking.

There were both internal and external problems!

“Now, it will depend on the effectiveness of this immortal formation.” Fang

Yuan’s concentration was invested into this rule path formation.

This formation was situated in Mini Blue Heaven, it floated on its own, it
was a modified version of the five regional limit formation.

Fang Yuan had wisdom path attainment, he knew long ago that the situation
would progress like this, he made preparations in advance and tried to come
up with countermeasures early.

Not long ago, he gained some inspiration and decided to mimic the qi tides to
deal with the heaven’s will in his immortal aperture.

And this rule path formation was the fruit of his research.

Rank eight immortal essence was already piled up at the side, stored into the
immortal formation. With Fang Yuan’s thought, this huge formation that
covered the range of more than ten li started to activate.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh…

The formation created huge winds, as the sounds of the wind resounded in
heaven and earth, countless qi currents appeared from the formation, as if the
entire sky was covered in steam, it was completely white, one could not see
anything.

The formation suddenly emitted profound light. The profound light landed on
the white qi and pushed it like a giant hand.

At the next moment, thirty percent of the white steam qi moved forward like a
gushing fountain.

The profound light entered the white qi and modified it, causing the scattered
white qi to become more concentrated.
Finally, the white qi that was pushed out turned into a qi tide as it swept
towards the southeast direction firmly. Along the way, the qi tide was like a
brush that cleaned up the surrounding heaven and earth qi in its path.

In terms of strength, the qi tide that Fang Yuan created could not compare to a
true one. But its strength was quite amazing already, it could easily take the
lives of mortal Gu Masters.

This was also why Fang Yuan set up the formation in Mini Blue Heaven, it
was to prevent an accident from slaughtering countless lifeforms, it would
cause him a huge loss.

After moving for an hour, this qi tide almost reached the aperture wall
boundary of Mini Blue Heaven.

Fang Yuan inspected the results, he found that the heaven’s will that he had
specially arranged here was all cleanly removed, not a trace was left.
Furthermore, along the path that the qi tide moved, heaven and earth qi were
well blended, it was peaceful and calm.

Fang Yuan let out a breath of air, this was good news.

With this formation, he could finally get rid of the huge problem of heaven’s
will.

This carried huge significance to him!

If he could not get rid of heaven’s will, he would be trapped inside qi sea’s
formation to prevent his location and identity from being exposed to heaven’s
will.

The pressure that was weighing down on Fang Yuan dissipated to some
extent.

Now that he looked at the qi tide again, he felt that he had a deeper
understanding of it.

“Qi tides are created because of the differences in heaven and earth qi. It is
like how water flows down a cliff to create a waterfall. The qi tides are
similar, because of the disappearance of the regional walls, with the
unification of earth veins, the different heaven and earth qi of the five regions
merge and cause qi tides to appear.”

“In the future, when heaven and earth qi becomes the same in all five regions,
there will no longer be any qi tides.”

“As for the five regional walls? The truth is, they are all qi tides in essence.”

The heaven and earth qi of the five regions were different, thus at the
intersection points of these regions, there would be disparity in the heaven
and earth qi. But because the earth veins were different back then, the heaven
and earth qi could not fuse together like now, they eventually gathered and
formed into dense regional walls.

Gu Immortals suffer backlash when using killer moves in the five regional
walls, it was similar to being in the qi tides. The reason was that their own
heaven and earth qi differed from those in the regional walls.

As for the five regional walls that Tao Zhu researched on for his entire life,
they were simply just qi tides!

However, his research was focused on the aspect of rule path. His main
result was five restriction profound light qi, from this name alone, it showed
a connection to qi path.

Fang Yuan had Tao Zhu’s true inheritance, he had half a portion of Primordial
Origin’s true inheritance, along with Qi Xiang’s foundation and his own qi
path attainment level, he had immense foundation, Fang Yuan quickly made
some progress and obtained gains.

“Next, I will need to modify this formation slightly and scatter the sub-
formations all over the aperture, I will send out qi tides to eliminate heaven’s
will.”

“The problem of heaven’s will has been settled, but the refinement of heaven
path dao marks is still a huge problem.”
But Fang Yuan had to put this problem aside for now, because he had to
guard against Demon Immortal Qi Jue, who was coming for him.

The identity of Qi Sea Ancestor was very valuable. During the fate war, Fang
Yuan tried his best to conceal it, he did not expose any clues that they were
the same person.

In order to preserve his Qi Sea Ancestor identity, Fang Yuan’s main obstacle
now was Demon Immortal Qi Jue.

On one hand, Fang Yuan used the formation to settle his internal threat, on the
other hand, he waited patiently for Demon Immortal Qi Jue to arrive.

According to Fang Yuan’s deductions, Demon Immortal Qi Jue was going to

come here for a fight during this period of time.

After waiting for some time, one day, a change occurred above qi sea.

White qi waves surged in the sky, they were grand and unceasing, pressing
down on qi sea with immense force.

Within the qi waves, Demon Immortal Qi Jue’s boyish figure could be

vaguely seen, filled with demonic aura.

Soon, his young but confident voice resounded: “Junior Qi Sea, I, Demon
Immortal Qi Jue, have come here for you.”

“Qi Jue, what is the matter?” Fang Yuan appeared, activating qi sea’s
formation as he stood on the surface of the sea, looking up and speaking.

Demon Immortal Qi Jue chuckled: “I have just revived, I do not have my

Immortal Gu now. I heard that you are the sole qi path great expert at the peak
of rank eight, I have come here to borrow some Gu.”

“Hahaha, borrow Gu indeed.” Fang Yuan laughed loudly, he could feel the
arrogance in Demon Immortal Qi Jue’s words: “The Immortal Gu are with
me, whether you can get them will depend on your abilities.”
Demon Immortal Qi Jue laughed as his young face showed deep battle intent:
“Good! Junior, I like your personality, face this move of mine.”

Immortal killer move — Great Qi Grasp!

Instantly, a milky white qi current hand flew out like a small mountain,
pressing down on Fang Yuan.

This was the move that made Di Zang Sheng cry out in pain, it was incredibly
profound, able to scatter or take form, Gu Immortals could not deal with it
easily.

Fang Yuan breathed in deeply, he had a calm expression that showed no

anxiety. He extended his hand and he pushed forward.

Rumble!

A qi wall that was a hundred li long soared up into the sky, it was grand and
magnificent.

The qi wall collided into the hand, the hand was forced to retreat, it could
not stop the qi wall from flying up.

Demon Immortal Qi Jue smiled lightly, he pointed his finger as the qi current
hand scattered, attempting to infiltrate the qi wall in the form of countless
currents.

But the attempt failed to do anything.

Fang Yuan’s qi wall was not only huge, it was densely packed, Demon
Immortal Qi Jue had no way to penetrate it.

Demon Immortal Qi Jue’s expression changed at this moment: “This is a

powerful qi wall, what is the name of your move?”

Fang Yuan said frankly: “I created this move specially for you, Qi Jue, I have
not named it yet. Do you have any good suggestions?”
Demon Immortal Qi Jue squinted uncontrollably as bright light shined in his
eyes.

The fact that Qi Sea Ancestor had just created this move was scarier than him
having this move for a long time. This meant that Qi Sea Ancestor had very
high qi path attainment level, he could observe the battle situation and modify
his own qi path killer move successfully to deal with his enemies!

Demon Immortal Qi Jue did not know that Fang Yuan was focused on
modifying the five regional limit formation, this qi wall killer move was
merely a small part of his effort.

Even though Fang Yuan lost wisdom Gu, he still had abundant wisdom path
methods.

As the qi wall continued to rise into the sky, the milky white qi currents that
filled the sky had to retreat further upwards.

By the time it reached Demon Immortal Qi Jue, the qi wall suddenly

transformed, it turned into two hands, one black and one white, clapping
together from the right and left directions.

Demon Immortal Qi Jue did not dodge, he allowed the black and white hands
to grab him.

As the hands started to exert pressure, at the next moment, there was a loud
voice coming from within the hands: “Xi—!”

Both hands were instantly absorbed into the silhouette of a concave secluded
domain.

This time, it was Fang Yuan’s turn to be shocked, he keenly sensed that the
secluded domain of heaven and earth above Demon Immortal Qi Jue’s head
was more complete than the last time he saw it.

Demon Immortal Qi Jue knew that ordinary methods could not work against
Qi Sea Ancestor, he directly used his trump card.

Secluded domain of heaven and earth — Xi.

Fang Yuan tried to use his methods, all sorts of qi path killer moves attacked
Demon Immortal Qi Jue, but Xi Land would absorb them all. It was like a
bottomless hole, Fang Yuan could not fill it up no matter what.

With Xi Land above his head, Demon Immortal Qi Jue had the advantage, he
could not lose.

He even started to critique Fang Yuan’s qi path killer moves casually.

“This pair of black and white hands is a nice concept, by including yin and
yang qi, you can use the attraction force of the two to amplify the power of
this move.”

“Your qi path defenses are also quite impressive. Every single thread of your
clothes is made of wind qi, are you trying to mimic the heavenly wind qi
wall?”

“It is a true pity. If it were before, you would still be a threat to me. But
regrettably, I have recently dismantled the turbulent flow sea area and also
completely fixed Xi Land. With this, I can counter all qi path methods in the
world, Junior Qi Sea, you are no exception!”

“How is it? May I borrow your Immortal Gu now?”

The reason why Demon Immortal Qi Jue gained his reputation was because
of this, it countered all qi path methods in the world.

All qi path killer moves would be absorbed by Xi Land, unless the killer
move could surpass the limits of Xi Land. But the problem was that Demon
Immortal Qi Jue had already fully repaired Xi Land, it experienced a
qualitative change in battle strength.

In a way, it was easier for him to deal with Qi Sea Ancestor than Wu Shuai,
who controlled Dragon Palace.
Chapter 2004: Heavenly Courts Reinforcements
Turbulent white qi covered the sky above qi sea in a chaotic fashion.

Demon Immortal Qi Jue stared down at Qi Sea Ancestor while emitting a

grand demonic aura. The phantom image of Xi Land appeared in its full glory
above his head, placing him in a highly advantageous position.

“Junior Qi Sea, is my cultivation enough to borrow Gu from you?” Demon

Immortal Qi Jue said again.

Fang Yuan felt heaviness.

The previous exchange of moves had already allowed him to understand

many details about Demon Immortal Qi Jue.

There was no need to mention the various killer moves possessed by Demon
Immortal Qi Jue, his trump card was clearly the secluded domain of heaven
and earth, Xi Land. With this secluded domain of heaven and earth, he could
counter all qi path Gu Immortals in the world.

If it were other paths, Demon Immortal Qi Jue would not have such huge
dominance. But Qi Sea Ancestor’s main cultivation happened to be qi path
and was thus suppressed heavily.

This showed Demon Immortal Qi Jue’s nature.

He might be domineering in his actions, but he was not stupid, he knew how
to play to his advantage. Thus, after he revived, he did not continue fighting
with the three sides and chose to retreat wisely. He then completed his Xi
Land along the way and increased his battle strength. Now, he appeared in
front of Qi Sea Ancestor and demanded to borrow Immortal Gu.

The moment he gains rank eight qi path Immortal Gu, his strength would
definitely soar and firmly hold its position at the peak of the present age.
With just Qi Sea Ancestor’s methods, Fang Yuan was indeed not Demon
Immortal Qi Jue’s match, but he was not panicked.

Fang Yuan always took action after planning first.

He had already known of Demon Immortal Qi Jue’s threat and modified qi

sea’s formation. As long as he retreated into the formation, he would be able
to resist for some time.

If Demon Immortal Qi Jue charged into the formation, Fang Yuan could
detonate this large formation and create an opportunity to retreat.

Speaking of it, Fang Yuan had obtained this detonation method from Fang Di
Chang. Back then, Fang Di Chang set a trap for Fang Yuan in Divine Bean
Palace, he wanted to sacrifice wisdom path Gu Immortal Suan Bu Jin by
detonating the Immortal Gu House inside Divine Bean Palace and thus break
through the impasse and refine Divine Bean Palace in one move.

Fang Yuan saw through the scheme and captured Fang Di Chang. After soul
searching, he obtained the method of Immortal Gu House self-detonation. He
then modified the method and arranged it in qi sea’s formation.

The self-detonation would be extremely powerful, even if it did not threaten

Demon Immortal Qi Jue’s life, it could obstruct him for a period of time.

Fang Yuan was very confident about this.

But…

If Fang Yuan used the formation’s self-detonation to retreat, the value of this
Qi Sea Ancestor identity would fall sharply.

To preserve this identity, Fang Yuan intentionally restrained himself from

using many qi path methods during the fate war. Even unlimited qi sea was
used just once.

Were Fang Yuan to retreat, it would mean Qi Sea Ancestor was defeated by
Demon Immortal Qi Jue. From then on, Qi Sea Ancestor’s reputation would
fall greatly and his appeal to Eastern Sea would lower sharply.
Demon Immortal Qi Jue frowned slightly, he had spoken twice but Qi Sea
Ancestor did not respond. His patience reached the limits.

He snorted and was about to continue attacking when a blood red ray of light
suddenly pierced through the skies and shot right towards his face.

Demon Immortal Qi Jue dodged quickly and turned around to see Demon
Judgment Board appear in the horizon.

“Heavenly Court, you again!” Demon Immortal Qi Jue sneered: “I am not

looking for trouble with you but you are instead trying to provoke me. After
such a heavy defeat in the fate war, what confidence do you have to act like
this?”

“Heavenly Court defends humanity’s righteous path, our actions are not
because of confidence but because of our beliefs!” A reply came from inside
Demon Judgment Board.

This was not Gu Yue Fang Zheng’s voice, it was a female voice.

Fang Yuan’s heart shook slightly when he heard the voice: “Qin Ding Ling
came personally? So the reinforcement shown by my luck actually refers to
her!”

Demon Immortal Qi Jue pointed his finger towards Demon Judgment Board.

Qi currents surged and transformed, rapidly gathering into a lump. In an

instant, hundreds of milky white qi spheres shot towards Demon Judgment
Board like meteors, creating a series of explosions.

Demon Judgment Board’s momentum stopped and shook violently from the
explosions.

Demon Immortal Qi Jue was about to say something when his expression
changed suddenly. He quickly withdrew and moved away from his spot like
lightning.

The previous blood red ray of light shot by Demon Judgment Board actually
turned around to attack him.
Demon Immortal Qi Jue evaded the blood red light but he did not expect
golden light to shoot out from this blood red light.

The golden light condensed rapidly into a huge golden scissors above Demon
Immortal Qi Jue’s head.

Crack, crack.

The golden scissors cut Demon Immortal Qi Jue’s head repeatedly, but the
attacks seemed to be in vain.

Demon Immortal Qi Jue, however, paled suddenly.

“This is a luck path method!”

He quickly activated investigative killer moves and immediately felt a loss:

“Damn it, these golden scissors are cutting my luck!”

Demon Immortal Qi Jue put great emphasis on maintaining his luck, after his
revival and later dismantling turbulent flow sea area to replenish Xi Land, he
had already consumed a lot of his luck. The attacks of the giant scissors were
making things worse.

“Qi Sea, Heavenly Court, I will remember this. If there is a chance in the
future, I will settle it with both of you properly.” Demon Immortal Qi Jue’s
voice resonated throughout the area.

After this sentence, he immediately entered milky white qi currents that filled
the sky and left the battlefield rapidly.

“Retreating again?” Gu Yue Fang Zheng, who was inside Demon Judgment
Board, was somewhat stunned.

On the contrary, other Heavenly Court members looked solemn.

Qin Ding Ling sighed and explained to Fang Zheng: “This is the terrifying
thing about Demon Immortal Qi Jue. He always maintains his calm and has a
clear judgment of the situation. We can only give him some trouble, but in the
current situation, Qi Sea Ancestor would not just stay on the sidelines. With
Demon Immortal Qi Jue’s battle strength, it won’t be difficult for him to
oppose our joint attacks. But the battle will be intense and his plan to borrow
qi path Immortal Gu has no chance to succeed. So he directly chose to retreat
to preserve his strength.”

Fang Zheng immediately realized: “I understand. Demon Immortal Qi Jue is a

person from a million years ago after all, he has just revived and doesn’t
have much contact with new paths. Against Demon Judgment Board’s blood
path attack and your luck path golden scissors, he prioritized on dodging
them. When he gets familiar with these paths and modifies his killer moves, it
will be much more difficult for us to confront him.”

“That is correct.” Qin Ding Ling nodded: “Let’s get out and have a talk with
Qi Sea Ancestor.”

Heavenly Court Gu Immortals filed out with Qin Ding Ling taking the lead
and Gu Yue Fang Zheng following closely behind.

They put away Demon Judgment Board of their own initiative, demonstrating
Heavenly Court’s sincerity.

“Thank you for helping this old man get through this danger.” Fang Yuan
heaved a long sigh.

Qin Ding Ling was wearing a golden armor and a cape, and in combination
with her tall body, wide shoulders and long legs, she emitted heroic aura. But
this heroic aura was different from Feng Jin Huang’s, it had a natural
nobleness to it that felt like it was innately above others.

But right now, Qin Ding Ling had a smile on her face as she showed the
initiative to get close to Fang Yuan.

She spoke: “Ancestor, if not for your injuries, how could Demon Immortal Qi
Jue be so rampant? Moreover, I saw that you were calm throughout the battle,
you definitely have some trump cards up your sleeves. We might even have to
ask for your understanding and to not blame us for interfering.”
These words were so polite that Fang Yuan felt like it was similar to a warm
spring breeze.

Heavenly Court’s attitude was different compared to his previous life. At that
time, Heavenly Court was oppressive and gave no way out for others. But in
this life, Heavenly Court’s leader took the initiative to treat others warmly.

After the fate war, Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals’ attitude was completely
different from before the war. Before the fate war, Heavenly Court had fate
Gu and possessed huge advantages. But now that fate Gu was destroyed,
Heavenly Court’s strength had diminished sharply, on one hand, they were
actively recuperating, while on the other hand, they took the initiative to
make alliances.

Qi Sea Ancestor became a goal in Heavenly Court’s eyes and was the best
ally for them.

Demon Immortal Qi Jue wanted to find an expert to spar with, naturally, he

would first look for Qi Sea Ancestor. After all, be they Fang Yuan or Feng
Jiu Ge, their traces were vague and hard to find. However, Qi Sea Ancestor
stayed in qi sea and could be found easily.

Since Heavenly Court wanted to ally with Qi Sea Ancestor, they naturally
wanted to use Demon Immortal Qi Jue.

After all, adding icing on the cake cannot compare to offering help in times of
need.

Heavenly Court helped Qi Sea Ancestor ward off Demon Immortal Qi Jue, it
was not a casual action but was planned for a long time.

It was not only Fang Yuan who had been waiting patiently for Demon
Immortal Qi Jue, Heavenly Court was also the same.

“Friends, please come in. Let this old man prepare a simple feast to express
some gratitude.” Fang Yuan led the Heavenly Court immortals into qi sea’s
formation.
He prepared a feast and hosted the Heavenly Court immortals.

During the banquet, the Xia clan immortals who were staying as guests were
also invited to join.

The Xia clan immortals were grateful towards the Heavenly Court
immortals, they had a very enthusiastic attitude.

They had seen Demon Immortal Qi Jue’s fight with Qi Sea Ancestor, they felt
very worried.

Their territory was already seized by Wu Shuai, so they could only put the
hope of regaining their territory in Qi Sea Ancestor. If Qi Sea Ancestor was
defeated or died, it would be a cruel blow to all the Xia clan members.

Thus, Heavenly Court helping Qi Sea Ancestor was like helping them.

When Qin Ding Ling saw the Xia clan immortals, she immediately expressed
her sympathy and condemned the two heavens alliance. She even promised
she would certainly fight against this large variant human alliance.

This attitude made Xia clan have an even better impression of them.

The face of Xia clan’s first supreme elder even reddened with joy.

This was different from the empty words of the other Eastern Sea super
forces, Heavenly Court had truly taken actions. Previously, Demon Judgment
Board carried three immortals and attacked the two heavens’ grotto-heavens,
every Gu Immortal in the world knew of this.

Qin Ding Ling inquired about Xia clan’s recent situation.

All the Xia clan Gu Immortals replied: They were hosted well by Qi Sea
Ancestor and would always be grateful, it was just that they had a worry
about when they could return to their home.

Qin Ding Ling realized Qi Sea Ancestor’s intention.

“He is raising his reputation! His ambition is truly big.”

Qin Ding Ling was happy to see this. As long as Qi Sea Ancestor had greed
and ambition, they would have the foundation to cooperate.

Fang Yuan naturally did not invite the Xia clan Gu Immortals to join the
banquet for no reason.

Through Qin Ding Ling’s attitude towards the Xia clan Gu Immortals, Fang
Yuan was even more certain of Heavenly Court’s purpose in coming here. At
the same time, he was also making this native force, Xia clan, serve as a
witness. After all, as an Eastern Sea Gu Immortal, having close ties with
Heavenly Court would lower Qi Sea Ancestor’s authority in Eastern Sea.

After a few rounds of wine, Fang Yuan took the initiative to speak: “Friends
from Heavenly Court, you helped me today, this old man shall remember this
favor. If Heavenly Court has any trouble in the future, I am willing to
contribute my strength to Heavenly Court.”

This was a clear gesture.

Heavenly Court’s immortals were spirited when they heard it.

Qin Ding Ling put down her cup slowly and looked at Qi Sea Ancestor with
a smile as she finally got to the main topic: “To tell the truth, Heavenly Court
is indeed facing some issues currently. We came to ask for Ancestor’s help.”

“Oh? Please explain.” Fang Yuan asked straightforwardly.

Qin Ding Ling did not mention the matter of the qi harvest fruit emerging in
Heavenly Court, instead she handed over an information path mortal Gu to Qi
Sea Ancestor.

Fang Yuan probed with his consciousness and was immediately moved.

The content of this information path mortal Gu was the remaining half of
Primordial Origin’s true inheritance!
Chapter 2005: Cooperating with Heavenly Cour
The moment Fang Yuan saw this remaining half of Primordial Origin’s true
inheritance, he had a thought, it was not related to the true inheritance.

“Should I use this chance to capture these Heavenly Court Gu Immortals in

one fell swoop?”

This thought was very attractive.

Qin Ding Ling was currently the temporary leader of Heavenly Court,
Heavenly Court would definitely receive a huge blow if they lost her. Gu Yue
Fang Zheng was arranged by heaven’s will and was a crucial character to
restrain the otherworldly demon Fang Yuan. If Fang Yuan killed him, he
would be free from this shackle. The accompanying Prince Feng Xian, Bai
Cang Shui, and the rest were also pillars of Heavenly Court currently. If they
were gone, it would be a great disaster to Heavenly Court and the whole of
Central Continent’s righteous path.

But thinking about it, Fang Yuan gave up on this idea.

His current strength was not complete and he could not maintain his battle
strength because of the heaven path dao marks.

On the surface, the Heavenly Court immortals were conversing happily and
looked relaxed, but how could they not be on guard in Qi Sea Ancestor’s
domain?

It was just that they pretended to be relaxed to show their sincerity and
friendliness.

Even if Fang Yuan activated qi sea’s formation, the Heavenly Court

immortals would definitely take out Immortal Gu Houses immediately and
defend.

Were he to attack the Heavenly Court immortals right now, whether it

resulted in victory or defeat, Fang Yuan’s Qi Sea Ancestor identity would be
met with heavy scrutiny.

In truth, Fang Yuan was willing to cooperate with Heavenly Court.

Even though Heavenly Court tried all methods to create difficulties for Fang
Yuan and attempted to kill him, even forcing him into near death situations, as
long as there were enough benefits that were useful for him in pursuing
eternal life, Fang Yuan was not conflicted over cooperating with Heavenly
Court.

Heavenly Court wanted to cooperate with Qi Sea Ancestor for their own
benefits.

Fang Yuan would also similarly receive huge gains from cooperating with
Heavenly Court.

There was no need to mention the long term benefits, merely Fang Yuan
forcing back Demon Immortal Qi Jue with the help of Heavenly Court was
enough to guarantee the value of this Qi Sea Ancestor identity. At the same
time, Heavenly Court also took the initiative to give the remaining half of
Primordial Origin’s true inheritance to him!

Fang Yuan was rather moved as he held the information path mortal Gu.

Back then, he had spent much thought and effort to scheme for this qi path true
inheritance. Duke Long was shrewd, Thieving Heaven’s method could reduce
his lifespan but he pretended it did not work and used half of Primordial
Origin’s true inheritance to successfully stabilize Qi Sea Ancestor.

The remaining half was held firmly by Duke Long and Fang Yuan was unable
to get it.

Fang Yuan did not hold any hope but who could have thought that after the
fate war, he would actually obtain the remaining half of Primordial Origin’s
true inheritance through Qin Ding Ling.

In the remaining half of Primordial Origin’s true inheritance, the triple qi

retraction Fang Yuan coveted was recorded.
“Qin Ding Ling cannot be underestimated.” Fang Yuan sighed in his head.

Without even mentioning any requests, Qin Ding Ling directly handed the
remaining half of Primordial Origin’s true inheritance to Qi Sea Ancestor, the
courage needed for this move was truly immense. Qin Ding Ling’s and
Heavenly Court’s sincerity was shown fully.

“If Qin Ding Ling knew I was Fang Yuan, I wonder what expression she
would show?”

Duke Long helped the enemy previously and now Qin Ding Ling continued
this trend. Were Qin Ding Ling to know the person in front of her was the
greatest culprit of the fate war and she had personally handed the true
inheritance to him, she might cough blood from anger.

“I genuinely feel your sincerity. What troubles do you have, I will use all my
strength to help Heavenly Court!” Fang Yuan stored the information path
mortal Gu in his aperture, he already guessed Heavenly Court’s troubles.

Qin Ding Ling let out a sigh of relief as she saw Qi Sea Ancestor putting
away the information path mortal Gu.

What she had been worried about was that possibility of Qi Sea Ancestor not
agreeing to help. After all, Qi Sea Ancestor had been a secluded cultivator
who did not care about things that did not concern him. Maybe the
information given by the reborn Fang Yuan made Qi Sea Ancestor realize that
if he were to continue his secluded cultivation, Heavenly Court would look
for trouble with him, so he changed his way of doing things.

Qin Ding Ling did not know how Heavenly Court became enemies with Qi
Sea Ancestor. But since Qi Sea Ancestor believed Fang Yuan’s words, it was
clear Fang Yuan had provided enough evidence.

This was a mess that they were not responsible for, with the destruction of
fate Gu, the future had changed, Heavenly Court was unable to find out
anything about it. Qin Ding Ling could only rely on the current situation to
infer and deduce.
It was normal for Qin Ding Ling to have some worries.

After all, Qi Sea Ancestor had a hostile relationship with Heavenly Court
before and had only turned neutral because of Duke Long’s mediation. Right
now, to recruit Qi Sea Ancestor, Qin Ding Ling had to take out something that
Qi Sea Ancestor would not be able to refuse.

Qi Sea Ancestor accepted Primordial Origin’s true inheritance and

immediately showed a firm attitude of helping Heavenly Court.

Qin Ding Ling was very relieved. Her scheme did not end here. Primordial
Origin’s true inheritance was only bait, Qi Sea Ancestor would require
suitable qi path Immortal Gu to activate the killer moves recorded in it.

And these qi path Immortal Gu were all in Heavenly Court’s treasuries.

These were the chips to tempt Qi Sea Ancestor later on.

“Perhaps we can still use Demon Immortal Qi Jue’s pressure to push Qi Sea
Ancestor to join Heavenly Court.” This inspiration emerged in Qin Ding
Ling’s mind but was temporarily suppressed.

She began to explain the issues Heavenly Court was facing.

Fang Yuan stroked his beard as he ascertained his guesses. Just like he
predicted, the qi harvest fruit appeared in Heavenly Court as well.

With Duke Long’s sacrifice and the immortal graveyard’s destruction,

Heavenly Court no longer had a qi path expert to stabilize the situation, thus
it was very difficult for them to resolve the issue of the qi harvest fruit.

Qin Ding Ling handed Primordial Origin’s true inheritance straightforwardly

and also hoped this true inheritance could help Qi Sea Ancestor in dealing
with the issue of the qi harvest fruit much more quickly.

Fang Yuan thought for a bit and nodded: “I will handle this matter of the qi
harvest fruit. But I have no methods to deal with it now and need to be in
closed cultivation for some time to research Primordial Origin’s true
inheritance.”
At this moment, Xia clan’s first supreme elder suddenly said: “Lord
Ancestor, you are injured and have to recuperate first. Your safety not only
concerns Eastern Sea but is also related to maintaining the overall situation
of humanity and the variant humans.”

He was worried and afraid that if Qi Sea Ancestor were to collaborate with
Heavenly Court, Xia clan’s matters would be pushed aside.

Qin Ding Ling smiled: “You don’t have to worry, I am going to talk about the
two heavens alliance now. Wu Shuai is currently a huge demon and also a
sinner who invaded Heavenly Court, we absolutely won’t let him develop.
We came here to ask for Ancestor’s help as well as to deal with this variant
human force.”

After a slight pause, she continued: “Heavenly Court is willing to take out
immortal materials to finance Ancestor and Xia clan, to help you reclaim
your lost land. In the future battles, if necessary, Heavenly Court will send
reinforcements to lend a hand in fighting against the variant human races.”

“Ah!” Xia clan’s first supreme elder exclaimed in shock and bowed:
“Heavenly Court is righteous and worthy of being the number one force of
humanity. I am extremely grateful, the whole of Xia clan is immeasurably
grateful!”

Qin Ding Ling chatted with Xia clan’s first supreme elder for a while,
deepening their relationship quickly.

Heavenly Court lost the fate war but it did not lack resources, it only lacked
manpower.

In this trip to Eastern Sea, Heavenly Court wanted to entice Qi Sea Ancestor
while also targeting Xia clan’s Gu Immortals. Roping in a native force of
Eastern Sea would establish their foundation in the future five regions
chaotic war.

This was a long-term plan.

The unfortunate thing was that Heavenly Court and Xia clan’s immortals did
not know Wu Shuai and Qi Sea Ancestor were the same person in essence.
This was truly a huge secret that would shock the world.

Fang Yuan nodded without hesitating: “I will never let the two heavens
alliance exist in Eastern Sea, I will certainly drive them out and exterminate
them thoroughly!”

Qin Ding Ling raised her hand: “In my view, the two heavens alliance has
human forces as well, it is just that the two heavens alliance is being firmly
controlled by variant humans currently. These human forces are not different
from us, we are all humans. We should stick together and unite. So, there is
no harm in splitting them first before we take action.”

Fang Yuan immediately understood the meaning: “Could it be that some

human forces in the two heavens alliance have already surrendered to you?”

Qin Ding Ling shook her head: “It is not like that. We were able to capture a
rank eight Gu Immortal. She is called Granny Skeleton, the current owner of
Shattered Bone grotto-heaven in the two heavens.”

Granny Skeleton was persuaded by An Chong’s words and wanted to join the
two heavens alliance. But halfway in her journey, she was ambushed and
captured by Heavenly Court.

Naturally, it was Night Heavenly Wolf Lord who provided this information.

Lady Cold Ash wanted to unite the human forces in the two heavens and fight
for authority in the two heavens alliance. She had already made Night
Heavenly Wolf Lord one of her helpers, but she could have never expected
Night Heavenly Wolf Lord to have already sided with Heavenly Court.

“Granny Skeleton?” Fang Yuan paused a bit before asking: “Is this person
here right now?”

Qin Ding Ling shook her head: “My Heavenly Court uses virtuous means, we
let her go after persuading her for some time.”
The eyes of Xia clan’s first supreme elder opened wide at these words, he
felt some worries regarding Heavenly Court’s ‘naivety’ but did not speak up.

Fang Yuan, however, looked at Qin Ding Ling with deep meaning and smiled:
“Looks like Granny Skeleton is a crucial character and the key to tempt her to
join us should lie on the qi harvest fruit’s matter.”

Qin Ding Ling laughed and raised her cup in praise: “Ancestor, you have
discerning vision. The issue of the qi harvest fruit appeared in Shattered
Bone grotto-heaven as well, if we can solve this issue, we can rope in
Granny Skeleton and other human forces.”

“Good plan!”

“If we can rope in these human forces, it would be their loss and our gain,
this will be a great blow to the two heavens alliance, and there is even a
chance they will disintegrate.”

“Those of other races have different motives, the human Gu Immortals in the
two heavens are of the same race as us. As long as we show enthusiasm and
sincerity, it should not be difficult to recruit them.”

Xia clan’s immortals smiled and conversed, some clapped and laughed, the
atmosphere of the banquet became increasingly lively.

Fang Yuan had a smile as he observed the Gu Immortals’ expressions from

his seat.

If they knew their enemy had already known of their plan before they even
implemented it, how would they feel?

Fang Yuan’s gaze moved around before finally stopping on Qin Ding Ling’s
face.

“Although she only cultivates luck path, her leadership is up to standard.”

“At her level, she should have reached the level of being proficient in
mimicking other paths too. Ordinary wisdom path rank eights are also not
superior to this.”
‘Of course, there is still a large gap between her and Fairy Zi Wei.’
Chapter 2006: Shadow Sects True Members
Central Continent.

“This qi harvest fruit is mine!”

“Get lost.”

“You wish.”

The qi tide had just passed, a group of Central Continent lone immortals was
fighting fiercely for around ten qi harvest fruits.

To grotto-heavens, the qi harvest fruits that emerged inside them were a huge
calamity. But the qi harvest fruits that were left behind after the qi tides were
precious treasures coveted by every Gu Immortal.

It had already been a while since qi tides appeared, the five regions’ Gu
Immortals were fully aware of the excellent effect of the qi harvest fruit.

Gu Immortals did not need any qi path attainment, as long as they obtained qi
harvest fruits and crushed them in their aperture, they could greatly improve
the harmonization of heaven and earth qi. Thereby, gaining freedom of action
earlier than other Gu Immortals.

Just as the immortals were fighting, a snowy ray of light pierced through the
skies, shooting towards them.

The ray of light was sharp and fierce, shooting right towards a Gu Immortal.

This Central Continent Gu Immortal was only rank six, he sneered when he
saw that the ray of light looked fierce but only had rank six aura, he activated
his defensive killer moves.

Bam.

The ray of light struck the Gu Immortal and pierced through him.
“How?!” The struck Gu Immortal’s eyes were wide open, his expression
filled with disbelief.

Both sides were rank six, so why was there such a huge gap!

“Who is it?”

“Ah, could it be Snow Demon!”

The remaining two Central Continent Gu Immortals were also rank six. They
were pale with fright when they saw the Gu Immortal whom they had been
fighting at a deadlock with die immediately.

The two immediately thought of a mysterious demonic immortal who had

emerged recently, this person appeared often to fight for qi harvest fruits and
was very vicious.

The two retreated quickly, not daring to fight.

That snow ray of light ignored them and moved straight towards its goal,
looting the qi harvest fruits.

After the snow ray obtained them, it left immediately with extreme vigilance.

After moving for a few minutes and using various concealment methods, this
snow ray of light stopped in a nameless valley.

The snow dissipated and the Gu Immortal’s appearance was revealed, who
else could it be but Bai Ning Bing?

After the fate war, Bai Ning Bing was left outside and was not recalled by
Fang Yuan.

Bai Ning Bing temporarily obtained freedom and did not want to return to
Fang Yuan’s side, choosing to cultivate alone. Over this period of time, she
was extremely active and had seized many qi harvest fruits, using them in her
immortal aperture.
These qi harvest fruits she obtained would have negligible effects on Fang
Yuan’s rank eight grotto-heaven. But to Bai Ning Bing’s rank six blessed
land, the effects were conspicuous.

Bai Ning Bing originally possessed future self and could achieve peak rank
seven battle strength. But after the fate war, the lower streams of the River of
Time became violent, future self thus lost its effect, Bai Ning Bing’s battle
strength returned to its original rank six level.

“After I get a few hundred more qi harvest fruits, I can battle with all my
strength for two hours.” Bai Ning Bing used the seized qi harvest fruits while
estimating inwardly.

Suddenly, her heart jolted as she sensed something wrong, she immediately
shot out of the valley.

But it was already late.

A purple light barrier trapped her rapidly, directly creating an independent

space that was isolated from the outside world.

“This is an immortal battlefield killer move!” Bai Ning Bing frowned: “Who
is it, come out!”

Clap clap clap.

Following resounding claps, Fairy Zi Wei revealed herself.

She looked at Bai Ning Bing with a smile: “You actually sensed me
activating this battlefield killer move. Worthy of a genius chosen by Fang
Yuan.”

“It’s you!” Bai Ning Bing immediately recognized Fairy Zi Wei and her heart
sank.

The enemy was a rank eight Gu Immortal, while her strength was only at rank
six. She might still have some hope to resist if she had future self, but the
current difference in strength was too big, it made her helpless.
Fairy Zi Wei fixed her eyes on Bai Ning Bing, asking with interest: “How did
you sense it? I did not see you using any special investigative methods.”

Bai Ning Bing’s expression was cold as ice as she replied: “It was only an
instinct. You already put an ambush beforehand and waited for me to take the
bait?”

Fairy Zi Wei chuckled: “You took action too many times recently, the clues
are all with me, so it is not a difficult thing to deduce when you will make a
move and where you will retreat to. Did you actually discover the danger
with only your intuition? My immortal battlefield killer move did not leak
any aura when it was activated.”

At this time, another figure appeared not far behind Bai Ning Bing, it was
Old Man Zheng Yuan.

Old Man Zheng Yuan coughed: “Lady Zi Wei, this is caused by human qi.
Although Bai Ning Bing did not use any special investigative method, she has
robust human qi. We must have agitated her human qi when we tried to trap
her, which made her sense it intuitively.”

Bai Ning Bing snorted and took on a combat stance: “You talk too much, let’s
fight, Heavenly Court!”

Fairy Zi Wei’s smile became even brighter: “You are wrong, Bai Ning Bing,
we are not representing Heavenly Court, but Shadow Sect. We did not come
to kill you.”

“What?” Bai Ning Bing was astonished: “You sided with Fang Yuan?!”

Old Man Zheng Yuan chuckled: “This junior Fang Yuan stole the position of
Shadow Sect’s leader. We are representing the true Shadow Sect!”

Bai Ning Bing’s mind shook as she guessed the truth: “Spectral Soul has
revived? You want to find trouble with Fang Yuan through me!”

“What do you think? Join us, don’t you want to get rid of Fang Yuan and free
yourself from all the shackles?” Fairy Zi Wei enticed.
Bai Ning Bing sneered and stared deeply at Fairy Zi Wei: “Of course I want
freedom. But what is the difference between joining you and siding with Fang
Yuan? I will be even more restricted with you people than with Fang Yuan!”

She noticed what was wrong with Fairy Zi Wei and Old Man Zheng Yuan,
they were clearly enslaved by Spectral Soul.

Standing with Fang Yuan, Bai Ning Bing had the feeling of being an ally at
least. But if she joined the Shadow Sect in front of her, then she would only
be Spectral Soul’s slave.

Fairy Zi Wei nodded: “But you don’t have a choice, do you?”

Old Man Zheng Yuan added: “Surrender or die, choose.”

Bai Ning Bing’s silence did not last long, after a few breaths of time, she
nodded: “I will join you.”

Old Man Zheng Yuan approached and patted Bai Ning Bing’s shoulder: “This
is a wise choice. Relax, we will deal with your information path alliance
agreements. But your dragonman status is somewhat troublesome, it was
Fang Yuan who helped you change that. The dragonman method he used
probably went through many changes, it will be very difficult to get rid of
this within a short period of time.”

“No worries, I am already used to it.” Bai Ning Bing said indifferently.

She was restricted by Fang Yuan first, then she entered Shadow Sect and was
controlled by Old Man Yan Shi; later, she returned to Fang Yuan’s side again,
transforming into the new dragonman. Now, she was clamped down by Fairy
Zi Wei.

Bai Ning Bing was right, she was already used to it.

Almost at the same time, Soul Pacifying grotto-heaven.

“Aunt, this is the soul core I obtained recently, it is extremely strange, please
appraise it.” An Xun respectfully bowed and handed over a soul core.
Lady Cold Ash took this soul core and observed it carefully, her expression
becoming increasingly strange.

She had seen countless soul cores, but this soul core gave her a feeling which
she had never felt before. Just the dark light circulating on the soul core’s
surface was beyond ordinary.

Suddenly!

The soul core transformed into dark lightning that struck Lady Cold Ash’s
face, it quickly infiltrated her body and imprisoned her soul.

Lady Cold Ash’s body was tense, and when she reacted, she had already
fallen to her own relative’s trap.

“An Xun, you!” Lady Cold Ash had been concerned with her nephew An Xun
and nurtured him wholeheartedly, she had never expected to be betrayed.

Lady Cold Ash struggled before she stood up abruptly.

An Xun was given a great fright as he stepped back quickly.

But at the next moment, Lady Cold Ash’s energy dissipated and sat down
again.

She groaned as dark light filled her eyes.

Soon, she could not struggle anymore and stood up silently.

An Xun prostrated on the ground: “Subordinate pays respect to master.”

Spectral Soul’s voice came out from Lady Cold Ash’s mouth: “This body is
quite good, I shall use this for now to get close to Wu Shuai.”

Spectral Soul did not have guts Gu, so he could only devour soul cores and
digest them slowly.

Over this period of time, he had already recovered some strength and
immediately made a move on Lady Cold Ash.
After he had succeeded, it meant the whole of Soul Pacifying grotto-heaven
had fallen into his hands!
Chapter 2007: Target Profound Literature Grotto-
heaven
Roar—!

A huge, mountain-like immemorial soul beast with two horns on its head was
howling.

But it was not showing its might and dominance, but madly struggling to flee.

Its tail was grabbed by an ordinary hand.

Then, an extremely terrifying absorption force spread out from the palm.
There was a whirring sound resembling a wild hurricane as the immemorial
soul beast was absorbed completely by the hand within a few breaths of
time.

The owner of that hand let out a burp.

It was the rank eight soul path expert, owner of Soul Pacifying grotto-heaven
— Lady Cold Ash.

Her eyes were pitch-black and threads of black smoke coiled around her
body. After a while, she stopped the killer move, the black smoke around her
whole body were restrained, and nothing looked out of place from the
outside.

But in fact, her body was already possessed by Spectral Soul and her soul
had been devoured.

Spectral Soul sighed: “I am full again.”

He got much more freedom with Lady Cold Ash’s identity. Over these days,
he was actively devouring immemorial soul beasts, increasing and
recovering his strength rapidly.

But Spectral Soul was not satisfied.

Devouring immemorial soul beasts was not like consuming guts Gu after all,
Spectral Soul needed to digest them. Otherwise, the immemorial soul beasts
would corrode his soul, make him lose his rationality and finally turn into a
deformed soul monster.

The first choice in strengthening the soul was of course the guts Gu from
Dang Hun Mountain, there was no need to digest them and they could be
absorbed almost instantly.

The more Spectral Soul yearned for Dang Hun Mountain, the more he wanted
to find Fang Yuan and kill him!

“Where exactly did this rascal Fang Yuan go to?” Spectral Soul thought of
Fang Yuan and could not help but narrow his eyes.

Fairy Zi Wei had already informed Spectral Soul of the information she had
gained from Bai Ning Bing.

This was great news to Spectral Soul.

Fairy Zi Wei had found clues of Ying Wu Xie, as long as they got hold of
Fang Yuan’s subordinates, they would have enough clues to deduce Fang
Yuan’s location.

“Fang Yuan obtained so many heaven path dao marks and has been missing
since the fate war, his situation must be dismal. This is the best chance to
capture him.”

Spectral Soul had been a venerable, he queried himself and got the
conclusion that even when he was at his peak, it would have been a difficult
task to refine so many heaven path dao marks. Let alone the current Fang
Yuan.

Fang Yuan was strong, but he was not a venerable after all and had a limited
understanding of the heaven path dao marks.

“But I can no longer count on the arrangements I left in the sovereign

immortal aperture.”
Spectral Soul understood that heaven path dao marks developed naturally, the
hidden arrangements he left behind were essentially dao marks and were
certain to be transformed by the heaven path dao marks.

His methods would not be effective after they were transformed.

If they were effective, why would Spectral Soul have to go through such
trouble to search and capture Fang Yuan’s subordinates, he would have
already gone to kill Fang Yuan.

“After half a month, I can devour an immemorial soul beast again to recover
my strength… hmm?” Just as Spectral Soul was planning, he suddenly
received a message.

Spectral Soul immediately revealed joy: “Wu Shuai is convening rank eight
Gu Immortals of the two heavens alliance to discuss an important event, Lady
Cold Ash is also summoned. Great, Wu Shuai is acquainted with Fang Yuan,
he might even be Fang Yuan’s clone. I might be able to lure out Fang Yuan’s
main body if I enslave him.”

Spectral Soul immediately moved out of Soul Pacifying grotto-heaven under

Lady Cold Ash’s identity and rushed towards the headquarters of Eastern
Sea’s Xia clan.

In the public blessed land, he smoothly entered Dragon Palace and saw Wu
Shuai.

Wu Shuai was sitting on the main seat while the other people were divided
into two rows. On his immediate left was vice alliance leader Ice Crystal
Immortal Monarch; on his right was the recent addition, rank eight expert
Xiao He Jian.

Below them were leaders of various variant human forces.

The human grotto-heaven owners were arranged further back. For instance,
Lady Cold Ash’s position was almost close to Dragon Palace’s door.
The political state of the two heavens alliance was clear from these seating
arrangements. Variant humans were dominant and had most of the authority,
while human Gu Immortals were firmly at a disadvantage. It was not that they
did not resist, but they were helpless. After all, Wu Shuai had a dragonman
identity and it was natural for him to be closer to other variant humans.

‘If I kill all of them, how much of my strength can I recover?’ Spectral Soul
looked around with killing intent surging in his heart.

Sensing her gaze, Night Heavenly Wolf Lord who was standing opposite her
nodded slightly, showing goodwill.

Spectral Soul had already obtained all of Lady Cold Ash’s memories: “This
Night Heavenly Wolf Lord, maybe I can make a move against him first. This
human rank eight Gu Immortal’s soul is much more suitable for my recovery.”

Night Heavenly Wolf Lord thought: “This Lady Cold Ash can be used. My
contribution regarding Granny Skeleton came from her. After this discussion,
I should find her to drink tea and probe her intention. If I can rope her into
Heavenly Court’s side, my contribution will be even bigger.”

Night Heavenly Wolf Lord’s thoughts were normal.

In his opinion, the previous Lady Cold Ash did not lose hope and wanted to
unite other human forces to counter the current alliance situation, raising the
human forces’ position in the alliance. But right now, her plan was already
useless, Granny Skeleton did not come at all. And with Heavenly Court
already proceeding to the next plan, that was, to split up the whole two
heavens alliance, Night Heavenly Wolf Lord saw his chance to make much
more contributions!

Just as Night Heavenly Wolf Lord and Lady Cold Ash were scheming, Wu
Shuai spoke: “I think you should all know why I convened everyone this
time. That’s right, it is about the qi harvest fruit disaster.”

“Qi harvest fruits have appeared in most of your grotto-heavens. These qi

harvest fruits absorb the heaven and earth qi in the grotto-heaven to
strengthen themselves, directly harming the grotto-heaven’s foundation. But
ordinary methods cannot get rid of these qi harvest fruits, a rash move will
only harm the grotto-heaven’s foundation.”

“Today, I gathered everyone to try to collectively think of a good solution.”

After Wu Shuai spoke, the immortals began to offer their suggestions.

Over this period of time, most of them had racked their minds and were
completely focused on this problem.

These immortals might lack combat proficiency, but their foundations were
instead stable and solid. Thus, they suggested many methods.

However, although there were many methods suggested, which were truly
effective?

No one could guarantee or be certain!

None of them cultivated qi path as their main path, there were a few who
cultivated qi path on the side but their attainment was low and could not be
counted upon.

“There are many methods, let’s try them one by one, there should be a way to
resolve this issue. So, what we need to do is to try these methods
continuously. Who is willing to try it first?” Wu Shuai summarized and asked.

Dragon Palace immediately fell into silence.

No one wanted to be the guinea pig!

It was extremely crucial to clear up the qi harvest fruits. It was like a heart
surgery, a slight mistake and it would be the end of the grotto-heaven. Even if
they were fortunate and the grotto-heaven survived, its foundation would be
heavily damaged and there would be massive losses.

“These Gu Immortals are really pitiful, fortunately I have already sided with
Heavenly Court.” Although Night Heavenly Wolf Lord showed a worried
expression, he was calm.
He had been informed by Heavenly Court that they had already found the
solution to the qi harvest fruit issue. So he was not the least bit worried.

But in fact, Qin Ding Ling only said that to stabilize Night Heavenly Wolf
Lord and make him more loyal.

“It is both hard and easy to resolve the qi harvest fruit.” Spectral Soul
naturally knew some methods but he did not mention them.

His current thoughts were filled with how to attack Wu Shuai.

He could not make a move now with so many people present.

But how could he find a chance to be alone with Wu Shuai?

“The biggest obstacle is still this Dragon Palace.” Spectral Soul was
somewhat wary. Dragon Palace, in essence, was an enslavement path
Immortal Gu House, Spectral Soul was not afraid about this. What he was
worried about were the dream path methods of Dragon Palace.

Even Spectral Soul had to be vigilant regarding this, once he was captured
by dreamy light smoke, he would immediately be defeated.

Wu Shuai saw the immortals becoming silent for a long while, he already
knew their thoughts.

He smiled: “Since no one is willing to give it a try, we should find other

people to try. There are many grotto-heavens in the two heavens, there are
still people who have not joined us and are harboring unfathomable
thoughts.”

The Gu Immortals’ eyes brightened, they felt the alliance leader’s idea was
simply too great!

Thereupon, the immortals resounded in agreement, Ice Crystal Immortal

Monarch and others even boot-licked Wu Shuai.

“Which grotto-heaven do you think is suitable?” Wu Shuai asked.

At the next moment, various opinions emerged and a large number of targets
were mentioned.

The one which was mentioned the most was Profound Literature grotto-
heaven!

Old Immortal Hua Yu was a human with powerful strength as well as high
prestige that allowed him to influence many of the surrounding grotto-heaven
forces. If Wu Shuai could get rid of him and incorporate Profound Literature
grotto-heaven into the two heavens alliance, there would be countless
benefits.
Chapter 2008: All Destroyed!
Profound Literature grotto-heaven.

“Xiao Bai, here will do.” In the small path between mountains, Teacher Jiang
stopped and spoke to Li Xiao Bai.

Li Xiao Bai showed sadness and reluctance: “I was able to survive in the
capital city all thanks to teacher’s guidance and help. I will engrave this
kindness in my heart and never forget it. But after this separation, I wonder
when I can see teacher again!”

“You.” Teacher Jiang sighed and patted Li Xiao Bai’s shoulder, encouraging
him: “Although you lost in this world poetry competition, your poems have
already spread far and wide. Everyone knows your talent is worthy of the
title of a great scholar. Moreover, Su Qi Han has already returned, the capital
city is the arena for you to display your talents. Go back, teacher will look
forward to your performance.”

Li Xiao Bai bid farewell to Teacher Jiang with eyes full of tears.

Li Xiao Bai rode a horse through the mountain path that was covered with
trees while pondering about his future.

He lost in the world poetry competition, although his earlier performances

were exceptional.

Like he had expected, he ran into Teacher Jiang in the later stage. This made
Li Xiao Bai fall into an awkward situation — if he won against his teacher,
his morals and character would be criticized and there would definitely be a
tide of hateful remarks.

Li Xiao Bai had wanted to use his next chance to continue passing through the
stages. But he kept on running into his teacher again and again.

Teacher Jiang was also helpless, in fact, he also did not want to succeed by
stepping on his own student. But he had to grab onto every chance because he
had also probed the biggest meaning behind the world poetry competition.

Li Xiao Bai ran into Teacher Jiang time and again, his hands were tied and
he eventually lost the competition.

Although he felt pity about this, Li Xiao Bai felt thankful as well: “My
previous performances were too exceptional and even excessive. If I were to
succeed like this, there would definitely be a detailed investigation done on
me. Even if I passed the investigation, because I don’t have a good
background and am not a renowned person, I am very likely to be schemed
against. Many people are coveting this opportunity to become an immortal,
how could they let it fall into a minor character’s hand?”

The world poetry competition’s selections looked extremely fair, but in fact,
where there were people, there would be conflicts of interests and many
deals going on behind the scenes.

Just look at the list of candidates that passed the world poetry competition’s
selection, they were either influential officials or renowned people, even the
so-called dark horses have extraordinary roots and background.

“It doesn’t matter that I am not selected in this world poetry competition,
there will be a second selection in the future.”

“Even if there is no second world poetry competition, don’t tell me I cannot

become an immortal by relying on myself?”

“Hmm, what smell is this, it is so fragrant!”

Just as Li Xiao Bai was thinking, a delicate fragrance broke his train of
thoughts.

This fragrance was really pleasing and smelled like the inky fragrance of a
book.

Li Xiao Bai was immediately curious, how could there be such a fragrance in
this mountain’s forest?

He rode the horse and followed the fragrance to its source.

After riding for a while, dense bush blocked the path ahead, Li Xiao Bai had
no choice but to get off the horse and continue on his feet.

The fragrance became increasingly strong as Li Xiao Bai moved deep into
the forest, he knew he was going in the right direction and was getting closer
to the source of the fragrance.

Finally, he brushed aside some leaves and found a pine tree.

This pine tree was covered with pine cones and these pine cones were
releasing the dense book fragrance. And on the branch of the tree, there was
an exquisite and unique brown tree-house.

“Is someone living here? A mountain hermit?” Li Xiao Bai carefully

approached and called out: “I am Student Li Xiao Bai, I accidentally passed
through here and took the liberty to pay a visit. Please don’t blame me, sage
in the mountain.”

But there was no sound from the treehouse.

Li Xiao Bai called out several times but there was still no reply. Seeing that
there seemed to be no one in the treehouse, he walked towards the pine tree.

When he reached the pine tree, Li Xiao Bai made another discovery. The
treehouse was not constructed on the tree, but was integrated into the tree,
like it had directly grown from the tree.

Li Xiao Bai wanted to enter the treehouse to probe, but after circling around
the tree, he found that the treehouse was completely integrated, with only
windows but no doors.

“What do I do?” Li Xiao Bai thought and subconsciously placed his hand on
the tree trunk.

Suddenly, the bark let out crisp sounds as it transformed. In an instant, a

spiral staircase appeared around the tree trunk that moved towards the
treehouse.

And a door appeared on the treehouse as well.

Li Xiao Bai only hesitated for a bit before stepping on the stairs and walking
to the treehouse.

There were three rows of bookcases in the treehouse that were standing
against the three walls. In the compartments of the bookcases were many Gu
worms.

“Book fragrance spreads, talented scholars smell. Book house inheritance

shall be left to the fated.” At this time, information was transmitted to Li
Xiao Bai’s mind.

Li Xiao Bai inspected it and felt joyous.

“So this is an information path inheritance.”

“Although it is only a Gu Master inheritance with no Immortal Gu, there are

various rank four and many rank five Gu worms. There is also detailed
cultivation instruction, forming a complete system which suits me.”

“Speaking of which, my luck has been improving recently. Looks like my

main body has already stabilized the situation.”

This inheritance was a peak level Gu Master inheritance, not only did it have
many Gu worms, the pine tree itself was an exceptional mortal Gu House —
Book House.

Li Xiao Bai stored Book House and returned back the way he came. He
smoothly found his horse and hurried back to the capital city.

At the peak of the mountain, two figures were standing.

One immortal and one mortal.

The immortal was Hua Song, the mortal was rank five Gu Master Teacher
Jiang.

Teacher Jiang had witnessed the whole process of Li Xiao Bai obtaining the
inheritance and was extremely grateful: “Teacher, many thanks for helping my
student.”
It turned out that Teacher Jiang’s teacher was Hua Song.

Hua Song smiled: “He is your student, according to the relationship, he is my

grand-disciple. He belongs to our faction, how can I ignore him? When the
world poetry competition started, I already noticed him. He clearly had the
strength to pass the stages, but because he ran into you, he chose to limit
himself. I had been hoping for you two, teacher and disciple, to succeed in
passing the competition, but his luck seems to be quite bad, he ran into you
again and again during the crucial rounds and was finally eliminated.”

“I am at fault.” Teacher Jiang lowered his head.

“Hahaha.” Hua Song patted Teacher Jiang’s shoulder: “You are really
outstanding for being able to teach such a superb student. If this Li Xiao Bai
had disregarded his teacher for fame and defeated you in front of everyone, I
would have punished this kid severely. But he prioritizes this teacher and
student relationship, his character is excellent. Although he failed this time,
there is no harm in it.”

“It is this child’s fortune to be noticed by teacher. Just that, teacher, why
didn’t you….” Teacher Jiang hesitated.

Hua Song sighed: “Although I am the host of the world poetry competition, if
I were to act in favor of my personal gain, I would be criticized by other Gu
Immortals and lose my reputation in front of Old Lord Hua Yu.”

“Moreover, Li Xiao Bai is still too young, he lacks tempering. If he suddenly

became an immortal, it might lead to misfortune because of this good fortune.
He should still continue to accumulate experience in the mortal world, a jade
stone is useless if it is not polished.”

“Teacher is right, I was thinking too simplistically.” Teacher Jiang

wholeheartedly admired his teacher and said excitedly: “I understand
teacher’s effort. Teacher, you don’t want me to bear the feeling of guilt, so
you gave Li Xiao Bai such a great inheritance, right?”

“It is good that you know that.” Hua Song smiled: “You are my student, you
were selected this time and will be nurtured to become an immortal. You
must concentrate wholeheartedly and not split your attention because of other
matters. Concentrate on cultivation, don’t ruin my reputation.”

“Yes, teacher, I will definitely use all my strength!” Teacher Jiang cupped his
hands and bowed solemnly.

Although Profound Literature grotto-heaven maintained neutrality and was

not willing to participate in any fights, they understood chaotic times were
coming so they did not hold back in cultivating Gu Immortals.

Teacher Jiang and others were handled and given plenty of resources with
many Gu Immortals guiding them personally.

Teacher Jiang studied and practised hard everyday, using his time to the
fullest.

Despite him using all his strength to study, his performance was still at low
to mid level. This showed the talents of this batch’s Gu Masters.

Even the teaching Gu Immortals were secretly pleased. This batch was
indeed full of the elites of Profound Literature grotto-heaven and everyone
was an excellent Gu Immortal seed.

Over half a month passed, Teacher Jiang and the rest welcomed the most
crucial moment of their lives — immortal ascension.

“With several teachers protecting us, the success rate of immortal ascension
is high. Once I become an immortal, my future will undergo a complete
transformation and elevation!”

Teacher Jiang was looking forward to it and studied with even more effort.

However, just as the first among them was about to undergo tribulation, there
was an explosion and the whole of Profound Literature grotto-heaven shook
fiercely.

Following the explosion, an Evil Dragon with the length of mountain ranges
descended, filling the sky of Profound Literature grotto-heaven.
Large numbers of enemy Gu Immortals appeared in all areas of Profound
Literature grotto-heaven and attacked at the same time. The flames of war
burned everywhere.

The place where Teacher Jiang’s group was in was given considerable
attention.

“Die!” Wu Shuai controlled Dragon Palace and slammed down.

“It is Immortal Gu House Dragon Palace, we can’t block it! Retreat!” The Gu
Immortals who were guarding this place were pale with fright as they
retreated.

Rumble!

Earth quaked and mountains shook, dust and stones flew everywhere.

This learning palace that was arranged meticulously was completely

destroyed. Teacher Jiang and the rest could not even dodge and were
squashed into pulp, dying miserably.

The Gu Immortals who taught them felt their hearts bleeding at this scene.
Their weeks of guidance were just about to show results, the greatest future
potential of Profound Literature grotto-heaven was destroyed all at once by
this attack.

Completely destroyed!

“Wu Shuai, my Profound Literature grotto-heaven has remained neutral and

never created any difficulties for you. But you actually attacked my land and
slaughtered innocents, you are too overbearing and sinful!” Old Immortal
Hua Yu was alarmed and shouted in fury.

Wu Shuai laughed heartily inside Dragon Palace, suddenly, his laughter

stopped: “Old Immortal Hua Yu, you don’t know when to advance or retreat,
you don’t know what’s good for you! I sent messages for you to join time and
time again, but you actually made excuses to ignore them, you simply show
no regard for me. Today, I will make you and the entire world realize what
the outcome of defying my will is! Attack!”
Chapter 2009: Following Willingly
Attack—!

Wu Shuai’s shout triggered boundless wind and clouds, resounding

throughout the grotto-heaven.

Many Gu Immortals in Profound Literature grotto-heaven had a change in

their expressions, feeling panicked and worried when they sensed Wu
Shuai’s ferocious might.

Profound Literature grotto-heaven had lived in peace for too long and had
never experienced such an ordeal. Even the current grotto-heaven owner, Old
Immortal Hua Yu, was extremely surprised.

Because Profound Literature grotto-heaven was an information path grotto-

heaven and was most specialized in gathering all kinds of information and
clues. They would definitely detect any invasion in advance.

However, Old Immortal Hua Yu and the rest were completely unaware of this
invasion, and Wu Shuai’s surprise invasion could even be considered a
masterpiece, he was able to teleport his Gu Immortals to various areas of the
grotto-heaven, launching violent attacks at the various important areas and
Profound Literature grotto-heaven’s Gu Immortals.

This ambush could be said to be extremely successful.

Profound Literature grotto-heaven suffered disastrous losses, not only did the
meticulously selected future potentials like Teacher Jiang perish, even most
of the Gu Immortals of Profound Literature grotto-heaven were killed.

“Persevere, this is our home, we cannot lose it. I have already requested for
reinforcements, we cannot let these despicable thugs succeed!” Old Immortal
Hua Yu shouted, slightly stabilizing the morale of the soldiers.

He then opened his mouth and moved his tongue, spitting out text characters.
These characters were like a storm as they shrouded Dragon Palace with
dense frost energy.

Immortal killer move — Cold Words!

The moment Dragon Palace was struck by this move, layers of frost
solidified on its surface which greatly slowed its speed. The frost continued
to condense and spread, and in a blink of an eye, was already as tall as an
adult’s calf. If this went on, the whole of Dragon Palace would be sealed in
ice.

Wu Shuai snorted as he activated his defensive killer move.

The frost on Dragon Palace’s surface began to melt gradually, and Dragon
Palace’s power continued to rise, letting out rays of orange light.

The orange light shot towards Old Immortal Hua Yu, who immediately
changed the words he recited and used a movement method.

Immortal killer move — Quick Words!

At the next moment, his speed surged and he perfectly dodged the orange
light.

Immortal killer move — Vicious Words!

Old Immortal Hua Yu spat out tides of characters from his mouth, these
purplish black words were like poison arrows that shot and detonated on
Dragon Palace.

Rumble…

The series of explosions forced Dragon Palace to retreat constantly, at the

same time, large amounts of toxic smoke infiltrated Dragon Palace.

Wu Shuai was seated on the main seat, he did not panic upon seeing this and
immediately activated defensive methods to resolve this danger.
Old Immortal Hua Yu’s reputation was not undeserving, he truly had some
skills, to be able to confront Dragon Palace without losing his ground.

Naturally, this was because Dragon Palace was an enslavement path

Immortal Gu House and was most proficient in the enslavement aspect.
Moreover, Wu Shuai did not reveal the Four Dragon Generals although he
had already gathered them. What he used normally was the Evil Dragon,
which had already become a trump card of Dragon Palace.

The Evil Dragon was rampaging!

The two heavens alliance’s Gu Immortals were killing and looting!

Wu Shuai was not in a hurry at all, because the situation was extremely
favorable to him.

Old Immortal Hua Yu became increasingly anxious as the battle continued, he

knew he was already tangled up with Dragon Palace and would have to rely
on external force to save Profound Literature grotto-heaven from the danger.

But could the reinforcements arrive in time?

Old Immortal Hua Yu was awaiting the reinforcements, but he knew there
was not much hope. Although he had a high reputation, and Profound
Literature grotto-heaven’s relationship with the surrounding grotto-heaven
forces was also quite close, but asking these people to reinforce him in
fighting against such strong enemies?

Old Immortal Hua Yu placed himself in their position and thought: if a

surrounding grotto-heaven was attacked and asked him for reinforcements,
and the enemy was the two heavens alliance, he would also hesitate.

The two heavens alliance’s Gu Immortals continued to wreak havoc.

Flames of battle rose everywhere as living beings were exterminated.

“Old Immortal Hua Yu, use your trump cards if you have any left, if you don’t
use them now, you won’t be able to save your grotto-heaven. Hahaha.” Wu
Shuai laughed wildly.
Old Immortal Hua Yu was silent, his expression grim.

The aftereffects of their fight harmed everything around them, causing holes
to appear in the grotto-heaven aperture walls, linking the inside to the outside
world.

Suddenly, Wu Shuai’s laughter stopped as he shouted in fury: “Old geezer Qi

Sea!”

The moment he finished speaking, boundless qi currents surged in from

outside and gathered into a giant hand.

The hand was as large as a mountain as it slammed into Dragon Palace and
sent it flying far away.

Following which, a tall and sturdy figure appeared in the grotto-heaven’s sky,
looking down at Dragon Palace.

“Qi Sea Ancestor!” Old Immortal Hua Yu looked up and said with surprise
and joy.

Qi Sea Ancestor’s appearance surprised him, but thinking about it carefully,

he felt it was natural. Qi Sea Ancestor was the biggest enemy of Wu Shuai,
he would not sit by and watch Wu Shuai leading the two heavens’ forces to
do whatever he pleased.

Roar—!

Dragon Palace moved back while the Evil Dragon took its place.

Qi Sea Ancestor, however, held his hands behind his back with no intention
to attack: “Wu Shuai, stop now, I can let all of you retreat. If we truly fight,
your two heavens alliance will cease to exist.”

“You….” Wu Shuai’s furious voice came from Dragon Palace: “Qi Sea
Ancestor!”

The Evil Dragon stopped, Wu Shuai seemed to be thinking.

Old Immortal Hua Yu let out a sigh of relief, looking towards Qi Sea
Ancestor with an extremely grateful look.

Qi Sea Ancestor did this to preserve Profound Literature grotto-heaven and

not let it turn into ruins. This was not easy! The two heavens alliance’s Gu
Immortals were scattered everywhere, Qi Sea Ancestor could take the
chance to attack them and deal heavy damage to the two heavens alliance.

But Qi Sea Ancestor did not do this, instead, he considered Profound

Literature grotto-heaven. Moreover, prior to this, Old Immortal Hua Yu had
never come into contact with Qi Sea Ancestor.

“Qi Sea Ancestor took such protective action for an outsider like me. He is
truly worthy of being a famed expert and the leader of Eastern Sea’s
righteous path!” Old Immortal Hua Yu was extremely moved.

However, at the next moment, the Evil Dragon attacked and Dragon Palace
followed closely behind.

“Qi Sea Ancestor, it has been too long since the battle that day. Face my
move again!” Wu Shuai shouted.

“Despicable!” Old Immortal Hua Yu cursed when he saw Wu Shuai sneak

attacking.

But Qi Sea Ancestor was smiling as if he was already prepared: “Come.”

Boom!

At the next moment, the Evil Dragon and Dragon Palace crashed into a firm
and solid qi wall.

The qi wall broke down but the Evil Dragon and Dragon Palace’s momentum
was also completely exhausted.

“Old geezer Qi Sea, I am relieved that you are so energetic. We shall battle
later!” Wu Shuai saw he was unable to gain any progress and started to
retreat slowly.
Dragon Palace and Evil Dragon left the battlefield and moved out of the
grotto-heaven.

The two heavens alliance’s Gu Immortals did not dare to stay any longer and
started retreating, they were afraid of Dragon Palace leaving them behind in
this dangerous place.

Wu Shuai’s group arrived fast and left just as quickly, leaving behind flames
of war and ruin.

Old Immortal Hua Yu did not rush to provide disaster relief and stabilize the
situation, instead, he flew towards Qi Sea Ancestor and bowed deeply:
“Ancestor, you helped us in repelling the enemies. Everyone in Profound
Literature grotto-heaven is grateful for your kindness.”

Qi Sea Ancestor smiled brightly as he held Old Immortal Hua Yu’s hands and
pulled him up: “We are both humans, it is natural for us to band together and
help each other against the variant humans.”

Old Immortal Hua Yu said with hatred: “Wu Shuai is trying to overturn
humanity’s rule, he is a lunatic and a despicable fellow. He is an enemy of
everyone in Profound Literature grotto-heaven, we won’t rest until he dies!”

Qi Sea Ancestor nodded: “In the current era, chaotic times are coming, who
can stay out of it? It is good that you realize this!”

Old Immortal Hua Yu cupped his fists and bowed again: “Looking at the
immortals in this world, only Ancestor’s might and prestige has spread
everywhere, your moral conduct is worthy of being respected. From today
onwards, Profound Literature grotto-heaven will be at your command, we
will listen to your arrangements.”

Qi Sea Ancestor smiled: “Brother Hua Yu, let’s join hands in fighting the
variant humans, we will protect our homelands and fight for a beautiful
future.”
Chapter 2010: Influencing The Five Regions
Profound Literature grotto-heaven.A tea ceremony was in session.

Old Immortal Hua Yu sat on the lower seat while he let Fang Yuan have the
main seat.

Fang Yuan used Qi Sea Ancestor’s identity to talk with the Gu Immortals,
obtaining first hand information regarding the part of white heaven above
Eastern Sea.

There were not just Profound Literature grotto-heaven’s Gu Immortals who

participated in the tea ceremony. After Qi Sea Ancestor repelled the enemies,
Gu Immortals continued to arrive to reinforce them.

These Gu Immortals were from the surrounding forces and were late in
reinforcing Profound Literature grotto-heaven, but Old Immortal Hua Yu
asked them to stay and join this tea ceremony regardless.

Qi Sea Ancestor said frankly: He had already allied with Heavenly Court
and wanted to recruit the human forces in the two heavens, to fight against
Wu Shuai’s variant human alliance and defend the righteous path of humanity.

Old Immortal Hua Yu was naturally the first to support it, the other forces
also responded quite passionately. Many of the Gu Immortals even express
their willingness to join Qi Sea Ancestor’s faction to fight Wu Shuai’s
violent and lawless alliance.

Some Gu Immortals hesitated while many others had to report to their

superiors to come to a decision.

The tea ceremony ended. Fang Yuan was quite satisfied with the result.

The first step was important if he wanted to interfere in the two heavens’
grotto-heavens. With Wu Shuai’s active cooperation, almost all the two
heaven’s Gu Immortals recognized Wu Shuai’s might and felt insecure.
Everyone realized they could not evade this calamity because even a
powerful force like Profound Literature grotto-heaven was almost
exterminated. If not for Qi Sea Ancestor lending a hand, Profound Literature
grotto-heaven would have ceased to exist.

Chaotic times were coming and no one could stay out of it. Only by stepping
on the waves of chaos could they survive and grow stronger.

Qi Sea Ancestor needed only slight effort to persuade five grotto-heaven

forces. Of course, it would take some more effort to integrate them. And
important details like profit distribution and other rules had yet to be
finalized.

Even so, Qi Sea Ancestor’s action had already caused a huge change in the
two heavens’ forces, even affecting the overall situation of the conflict
between humanity and the variant human races.

Fang Yuan naturally would not conceal this news, the moment the tea
ceremony ended, he spread this news in treasure yellow heaven.

In an instant, the Gu Immortal world of the five regions was shaken.

Some sighed at the changing state of the world and the impending chaos,
some praised Qi Sea Ancestor’s righteous move and felt he could shoulder
the responsibility to lead humanity, some were guessing Wu Shuai’s next
move, and some were thinking of Eastern Sea’s political situation. Qi Sea
Ancestor was publicly recognized as the most powerful expert in Eastern
Sea, now that he was so close with Heavenly Court, how would Eastern
Sea’s righteous path forces face this relationship?

The five regional walls were gone, the independent five regions merged into
one, changes in any one side could change the whole situation of the five
regions. Every move of an expert with an identity and status like Qi Sea
Ancestor could deeply influence the whole world.

Eastern Sea, Shen clan.

“Are there still no clues on Ancestor Shen Shang’s whereabouts?” Shen Cong
Sheng sighed: “I don’t blame you, qi tides are appearing everywhere, Divine
Emperor City is a very tightly protected area.”

A Shen clan Gu Immortal asked: “First supreme elder, Qi Sea Ancestor has
already allied with Heavenly Court now, they even handed over the latter
half of Primordial Origin’s true inheritance. What should we do?”

Shen Cong Sheng replied: “I have already discussed this with Song Qi Yuan,
Hua Cai Yun, and other first supreme elders. Qi Sea Ancestor is our Eastern
Sea’s expert, he cannot be recruited by Heavenly Court. Every clan will take
out a portion of cultivation resources from their treasuries and gather them
into a big gift to build a good relationship with Ancestor.”

Shen clan’s Gu Immortal nodded, not objecting to it.

Qi Sea Ancestor was the most valuable existence to rope in, besides his
battle strength, it was also because he cultivated qi path.

Currently, Eastern Sea’s super forces were thinking of developing qi path and
they would have double the results if they could get Qi Sea Ancestor’s help
in this aspect.

Fang Yuan put on a great show before, everyone in Gu Immortal world

thought Qi Sea Ancestor liked to give guidance and support the younger
generation. This made Eastern Sea’s super forces feel there was a high
possibility in this matter.

Western Desert, Fang clan’s headquarters.

Fang Gong’s expression was dark: “We are willing to pay such a huge price
but Heavenly Court still doesn’t want to release Fang Di Chang?”

One of the gathered Fang clan Gu Immortals said: “First supreme elder, in my
opinion, Heavenly Court is not sincere at all, they are just stalling for time
and fooling us.”

“Hmph!” Fang Gong slammed his right fist on the table.

He was furious but helpless.

In the fate war, Fang clan’s losses were the largest. Not only did they lose
Divine Bean Palace, even their strategist Fang Di Chang was captured by the
enemy and there was no news of him until now.

Fang clan naturally thought Fang Di Chang was captured by Heavenly Court.
Thereupon, they secretly contacted Heavenly Court and wanted to pay a huge
price to redeem Fang Di Chang.

But Heavenly Court had all along been stalling their request.

Fang Di Chang was extremely important to Fang clan, without him, Fang clan
would be without a strategist.

After Fang clan refined Divine Bean Palace, they had the possibility of
raising their status and becoming the leader of Western Desert’s righteous
path. But Divine Bean Palace and Fang Di Chang were gone, destroying Fang
clan’s dream of becoming the leader.

Fang Gong was in a very bad mood, especially after hearing of Qi Sea
Ancestor’s actions.

“Qi Sea Ancestor has already begun to lead Eastern Sea, but me? Fang clan?
We are just stagnating at the same spot! Sigh…” Fang Gong felt helpless.

The only thing that gave him some joy was that Fang Di Chang had already
prepared for the future and had passed on Fang clan’s wisdom path
inheritance to Fang Yun.

“Since Heavenly Court is not willing to release Fang Di Chang, we can only
prioritize on cultivating Fang Yun.” Fang Gong made the decision.

They could not wait any longer.

Time waits for no one!

Cultivating a Gu Immortal, especially a competent wisdom path Gu Immortal,

required a long time.

Central Continent, Heavenly Court.

Qin Ding Ling looked at the intel and smiled, muttering to herself: “Fang clan
is actually willing to pay such a huge price to buy back Fang Di Chang. If
they knew Fang Di Chang was already replaced and is now Fang Yuan’s
clone, what would they feel?”

Heavenly Court already knew of Fang Di Chang’s identity.

The current Divine Emperor City was guarded by Genesis Lotus Immortal
Venerable’s will. He had already informed Qin Ding Ling of this.

Although Fang Di Chang was sealed in Divine Bean Palace’s painting, he

had a portion of the authority and was resisting stubbornly, even Genesis
Lotus’ will could do nothing about it.

“But it will be over soon.” Qin Ding Ling smiled: “That earlier batch of Gu
Immortal seeds we sent in are developing extremely well, they already
possess strength to defeat Fang Di Chang. As long as we capture him, we can
use the close connection between him and Fang Yuan to search for the
location of Fang Yuan’s main body.”

Spectral Soul was secretly searching for Fang Yuan’s main body, Heavenly
Court was doing the same as well.

Qin Ding Ling knew Fang Yuan was in a poor state currently and it was the
best time to kill Fang Yuan. If they could kill Fang Yuan, not only would it
restore Heavenly Court’s reputation, there would even be enormous spoils of
war. Be it the various inheritances on Fang Yuan, his Gu worms, his
sovereign immortal aperture, secluded domains of heaven and earth, and so
on, they were all things Heavenly Court wanted.

Qin Ding Ling was taking control of Heavenly Court in place of Fairy Zi
Wei, although she was only a luck path Gu Immortal, she tried her best and
was busy everyday, her hard work was showing results.

Internally, Heavenly Court was leading the ten great ancient sects, actively
cultivating talents and recovering their strength.
Externally, Heavenly Court was allying with Eastern Sea, they roped in Qi
Sea Ancestor first but the price was half of Primordial Origin’s true
inheritance. They would soon capture Fang Di Chang, and their hopes of
capturing Fang Yuan’s main body were even higher than Spectral Soul!

“Everything will get better.”

“My Heavenly Court is and will continue to be the supreme leader of

humanity!”
Chapter 2011: Divine Bean Soldier Calamity
The white sand fell on the ground and immediately melted into puddles of
milk that seeped into the ground.

Blop blop….

Air bubbles rose from the ground, the beans buried under the ground
devoured the milk and grew rapidly.

In three minutes, Fang Di Chang expended the small amount of rank eight
immortal material milk sand he had. The barren land became extremely
fertile and green bean sprouts broke out of the ground surface.

“Again.” Fang Di Chang took out a snow path immortal material.

The immortal material was thrown to the air and was digested by Divine
Emperor City, turning into broken lightning rays that covered the whole bean
field.

The broken lightning slightly touched the tender bean sprouts and agitated
their growth potential, the bean sprouts began growing with a visible speed.

“Continue.” After the lightning rays dissipated, Fang Di Chang took out the
third immortal material.

Time continued to pass, about three days and three nights later, Fang Di
Chang slowly stopped his actions.

He looked at the field, the beans had already grown into divine bean
soldiers. They were standing in rows, silent and still like statues as they
waited for Fang Di Chang’s orders.

Fang Di Chang sighed, thinking: “This is the last batch of divine bean
soldiers. My immortal materials are basically all spent.”
As a clone of Fang Yuan, after Fang Di Chang was schemed by Genesis
Lotus’ will, he had been trapped in the painting.

Over this period of time after the fate war, he had been waiting for his main
body to rescue him while using all his strength to accumulate troops.

But even by now, the main body had not come to save him, Fang Di Chang
could only prepare to save himself.

He was now trapped in the painting, unable to contact the main body and
even unable to access treasure yellow heaven. But he had refined Divine
Bean Palace, so he still held a portion of the authority. This was the reason
Genesis Lotus’ will was unable to do anything to him in a short period of
time.

Fang Di Chang used this authority to borrow Divine Bean Palace’s strength
in cultivating divine bean soldiers.

He was constantly accumulating divine bean soldiers, and now, their size had
already reached an enormous scale.

“It is time, move out, invade and seize control of all the paintings!” Fang Di
Chang gave a command without any hesitation. The divine bean soldier army
began to set out.

They split into countless divisions as they moved towards the edge of the
painting and invaded other painting worlds.

Outside Emperor City was a large farmland, wheat billowed in the autumn
wind and many farmers were harvesting them.

“This year is an abundant year!”

“Yes, every family has made good harvests.”

“What is this noise?”

The farmers were talking happily when they suddenly heard strange sounds
and were bewildered.
A group of over three hundred divine bean soldiers charged into this painting
world.

They discovered these farmers and behaved like sharks that smelled blood,
they moved extremely quickly and killed anyone they saw.

“Run!”

“There are monsters, run!”

“Spare me. Spare….”

Guh.

Blood splattered everywhere, the last farmer’s head and body were
separated, falling into a pool of blood.

Divine bean soldiers killed all the humans and occupied this painting world.

At another painting outside of Emperor City.

It was spring and the scenery was beautiful.

A large group of scholars, students and young ladies went for an outing.

In the midst of their joyful talks, several divine bean soldiers appeared
suddenly, causing the girls to scream.

“They dare to offend our young ladies!”

“What are these things?”

The scholars and students looked curiously as the guards surrounded the
divine bean soldiers.

The divine bean soldiers began to attack, the guards were already on guard
so the battle went to a standstill.

“These strange things have bad intentions!”

“Where did these things come out from?”

“Forget that, let’s talk after killing them first.”

The scholars and the students cooperated with the Gu Master guards and
attacked, killing these divine bean soldiers without wasting much energy.

But soon, an army of a thousand divine bean soldiers arrived in this painting
world.

This time, the guards, scholars and students were unable to resist, after a
bitter struggle, most of them were killed and stepped on mercilessly by the
divine bean soldiers, while a small portion retreated from this painting
world and managed to survive.

Each divine bean soldier had extraordinary strength and was at least of
desolate beast level, but in the painting world, they had to follow its rules,
where the gap between immortal and mortal was minuscule.

Moreover, divine bean soldiers were transported to other painting worlds

randomly, so their scales were not equal.

Fang Di Chang made a heavy attack but the divine bean soldier army was
scattered everywhere and engaged in their respective invasions. Thus, some
divine bean soldiers made good progress, some met strong resistance, while
some were directly annihilated by the Gu Masters in the painting world.

Even so, Fang Di Chang soon revealed a satisfied smile.

“My guess was right.”

“Divine Bean Palace’s paintings are connected with Emperor City’s

paintings. Although I am sealed here, my divine bean soldiers originated
from Divine Bean Palace and are of the same origin as the whole of Divine
Emperor City, so they can move out.”

“The more painting worlds these divine bean soldiers occupy, the more
control I will have over Divine Emperor City. After gaining a certain amount
of control, I can even go a step further and suppress Genesis Lotus’ will,
becoming the owner of Divine Emperor City!”

Fang Di Chang’s huge move this time made the Gu Immortal seeds, sent by
Heavenly Court into Divine Emperor City’s painting world, gather and
discuss a plan.

“What is going on with these divine bean soldiers?” Chen Da Jiang frowned.

Sun Yao’s eyes were red: “I also don’t know, these monsters appeared and
began killing wantonly, they are extremely vicious. Those pitiful beggars and
homeless people were all killed by these monsters.”

“Maybe this is our fortuitous encounter or maybe it is a test?” Tang Ru Qi

guessed.

Ying Sheng Ji frowned: “I killed many divine bean soldiers, but I have not
made any gains until now.”

Wei Wu Shang analyzed calmly: “Divine bean soldiers are a product of

Divine Bean Palace, according to rumors, Gu Immortals can raise these
wood path soldiers in a large scale in Divine Bean Palace. When it is time to
battle, the Gu Immortal can release them to fight the enemies. Previously,
when Divine Bean Palace was with Western Desert, they scattered a large
number of divine bean soldiers to fight our Central Continent’s ten great
ancient sects.”

“So what is the reason behind these divine bean soldiers’ sudden
appearance?” Zhao Shu Ye asked.

Wei Wu Shang shook his head: “I don’t know, it has been some time since we
arrived here but the painting world here is too vast and profound, we don’t
know a lot of its secrets.”

“What is the point of trying to figure out the reason?” Right at this time, Xiao
Qi Xing walked over.

“Ah, it is Brother Xiao.”

“What information do you have? Or do you know the truth of the matter?”

These Gu Immortal seeds asked one after the other, they thought highly of
Xiao Qi Xing because he had the best progress among them.

He mixed into the military faction and continued to advance in ranks and was
already a junior officer now.

Xiao Qi Xing said: “I don’t care about the reason behind these divine bean
soldiers’ appearance, I only know the higher-ups have sent the order to
mobilize the army to exterminate these divine bean soldiers. This time, I am
leading my troops alone and need assistance. We will cooperate and kill
these divine bean soldiers. There will definitely be rewards after the battle.”

“It is fine with me. These monsters should be killed!” Chen Da Jiang said.

Sun Yao nodded: “These divine bean soldiers are too vicious, they are
simply disregarding human lives. I will take revenge for those pitiful beggars
and homeless people.”

“Count me in too.” Zhao Shu Ye also expressed her stance.

Soon, all of these Gu Immortals agreed and temporarily joined Xiao Qi Xing
as his subordinates.

Xiao Qi Xing laughed heartily, he was pleased and proud with this huge
increase in strength and manpower: “Move out! Let us kill these divine bean
soldiers.”
Chapter 2012: Fang Di Changs Death
Divine Emperor City, painting world.

In the vast plaza, Xiao Qi Xing led a large group of troops and was facing a
group of divine bean soldiers.

The scale of this group of divine bean soldiers was bigger than Xiao Qi
Xing’s side.

“How do we fight them?” Sun Yuan Hua had just asked when the divine bean
soldiers charged.

Xiao Qi Xing stopped his side from attacking and smiled: “Everyone, please
stay put for now and look at how I fight them.”

Saying this, Xiao Qi Xing flicked his fingers repeatedly, a large amount of
Gu worms flew out of his aperture.

These Gu worms fell to the ground and turned into human shapes. Most of
them were ordinary soldiers, a few clearly looked like elites, and an
extremely small number of them looked much more brave and valiant.

“These are soldier Gu, sergeant Gu, lieutenant Gu?” Gu Ting narrowed his
eyes.

“They should be.” Wei Wu Shang counted roughly: “There are over five
hundred of them, looks like Xiao Qi Xing progressed really well in the
military camp to be able to accumulate so many human path Gu worms.”

“Formation!” Xiao Qi Xing shouted while activating arrow formation Gu.

These soldiers immediately gathered, captains led lieutenants, lieutenants led

sergeants, and sergeants led soldiers.

And the entire army formed a giant arrow that rushed head on towards the
incoming divine bean soldiers.
“Charge—!”

Xiao Qi Xing’s army roared loudly, on the contrary, the divine bean soldiers
were silent like there was no life.

The two sides were like colliding waves which began to mix into each other.

Xiao Qi Xing’s gaze was like lightning as he put all his attention on
controlling his troops.

In the chaotic battle, his troops were further divided but they always
maintained the most basic military formation.

On the contrary, the divine bean soldiers were a messy and disordered group.

After the initial stalemate, the situation began to slowly fall into Xiao Qi
Xing’s grasp. Once he occupied the upper hand, this advantage snowballed
and soon, it turned into absolute dominance.

Finally, Xiao Qi Xing’s side won a complete victory with all divine bean
soldiers killed off.

“How is it?” Xiao Qi Xing returned with victory and showed off to the other
Gu Immortal seeds.

Zhao Shu Ye rolled his eyes, not bothering to reply.

“Brother Xiao is truly amazing!” Chen Da Jiang raised his thumb.

“Hahaha.” Xiao Qi Xing laughed heartily and said to Chen Da Jiang: “If you
had walked the same path as me back then, you would also have such
accomplishments today.”

“We should continue. We have only cleared up one painting.” Wei Wu Shang
said.

“Don’t be careless. These soldiers are only yellow bean divine soldiers,
they are the most basic type of divine bean soldier.” Gu Ting said.
They continued to march forward and fight divine bean soldiers.

After a while, they arrived at the most flourishing street of Divine Emperor
City.

Divine bean soldiers were wantonly killing the people in the city and it was
a scene of chaos.

Sun Yao’s eyes turned red with fury. The first time she entered here, she had
arrived at this street and enjoyed its flourishing scenes. She had never
expected such a beautiful scene to be completely destroyed by the divine
bean soldiers, everywhere was littered with corpses and blood flowed into a
river.

“This will need everyone’s assistance.” Xiao Qi Xing was modest for once:
“The paths are narrow and vision is not clear, my troops won’t be able to
move properly.”

The other Gu Immortal seeds had no objections as they charged to the front
lines and attacked.

Xiao Qi Xing stayed at the rear, observing the situation while controlling the
soldiers to move forward.

He was deeply aware that he came to compete for Genesis Lotus’ true
inheritance, these Gu Masters beside him were his greatest competitors.
Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated, this was the
best opportunity to gain information about these people.

These Gu Master elites of Central Continent’s ten great ancient sects were
indeed extraordinary.

Xiao Qi Xing had made a lot of progress, these Gu Masters were also not
any inferior.

Ying Sheng Ji continuously took out doctor Gu, which took human forms and
saved people everywhere.
Chen Da Jiang went through the outer gate, a group of officers moved around
him as he joined the front lines with a long sword and a steel chain.

Sun Yao gave a bigger surprise to Xiao Qi Xing, three female dancers moved
around her, their long sleeves fluttered in the wind and weakened the divine
bean soldiers. Moreover, Sun Yao also held a human path killer move — Joy
in Helping People; this move strengthened her allies.

As for Wei Wu Shang, he appeared and disappeared as he moved in the

chaotic battle like a fish in water.

“This guy has already mastered thief Gu.” Xiao Qi Xing realized.

These elites immediately shone brightly the moment they made their moves.
Xiao Qi Xing also felt heavy pressure as he warned himself: “I really cannot
underestimate these people!”

This chaotic battle lasted for five minutes before the whole street was
cleared.

Without staying any longer, Xiao Qi Xing’s group marched towards other
paintings once again.

The divine bean soldiers in their path were all annihilated.

Naturally, they were not the only group who were counterattacking. The
warriors in the painting worlds also organized many groups and participated
in the battle, killing the divine bean soldiers.

Ye Fan and Hong Yi were also mixed among other groups, they were secretly
conversing.

“These divine bean soldiers are really odd, there are so many types of them.”

“The ten great ancient sects’ members have also grown, we need to conceal
ourselves and not be discovered by them.”

They were the earliest people to enter the painting world.

At this moment, their accumulation far surpassed the Central Continent elites,
but Ye Fan and Hong Yi could only move secretly. After all, the five regions
world was the main world, once they were discovered by Heavenly Court,
the situation would become a mess.

The counterattacking groups became faster the more they killed, their
efficiency was increasing continuously and casualties were reducing.

After they had sufficient experience, they completely saw through the types of
divine bean soldiers. Yellow bean divine soldiers were only cannon fodder,
green bean soldiers could shoot flying arrows, red bean soldiers could self-
detonate, black bean soldiers had the greatest defense.

After understanding the characteristics of the different divine bean soldiers,

they began to launch targeted attacks. These divine bean soldiers were far
weaker than their external appearance.

The counterattacking groups continued to gain victories and seized back more
territories.

Finally, they gathered on the city walls of Divine Emperor City.

There was an ocean of divine bean soldiers outside the city walls, Xiao Qi
Xing could not help taking in a sharp breath when he saw this.

The enemy force was overwhelming, it was not something their group could
handle. They could only have a chance of defending the city by allying with
other groups.

Divine bean soldiers rushed forward without any formation.

Xiao Qi Xing’s group attacked with long range skills from top of the city
walls.

Divine bean soldiers were like ants as they began climbing the city walls.

The ones guarding the city staked their lives to counterattack, not retreating a
step.
The whole battlefield was like a huge meat grinder, large amounts of lives
were lost every second.

This battle lasted three days and three nights.

Xiao Qi Xing collapsed and sat weakly on the ground. His snowy-white
military robe was already dyed red with blood.

Cheers spread continuously in the surroundings, they had won. This largest
group of divine bean soldiers was completely exterminated by them.

Victory was assured!

Next would be to clear up the remaining small groups of divine bean soldiers
in every painting.

“Wait a second, we seem to be able to walk out of Divine Emperor City.”

“We can follow the path the divine bean soldiers took and attack their base!”

When they were clearing up the battlefield, many made a big discovery.

The troops began to gather once again and battled their way to Fang Di
Chang.

In this painting world, Fang Di Chang’s strength was greatly reduced but he
still had a group of divine bean soldiers around him.

“So you are the main culprit behind all these!”

“You are going to pay for your sins!”

“Why, why do you need to kill these innocent people, what grudge do you
have against them?”

Emotions surged, but Xiao Qi Xing’s group glanced at each other and moved
towards the rear silently.

“So the cause of the divine bean soldier calamity was him.”
“He is a Gu Immortal of Fang clan, Fang Di Chang, who had once refined
Divine Bean Palace.”

“I did not expect him to still be alive, and he is creating chaos in the painting
world!”

“Don’t tell me, did our sects send us here to get rid of him?”

“Strange, why didn’t Heavenly Court attack and kill Fang Di Chang directly?
Maybe this is a test for us, or maybe we can only deal with him while
following the rules of the painting world?”

Xiao Qi Xing’s group conversed quickly, their expressions were extremely

serious. They were the ones chosen and nurtured by their respective sects,
thus they had a lot of information about the Gu Immortal world, they had
detailed information about the participants of the fate war.

“Kill!”

“Take revenge for our friends and family!”

“I will cut him into a thousand pieces!!”

The Gu Masters of the painting world attacked Fang Di Chang.

“A bunch of trash.” Fang Di Chang stood at the center and commanded his
troops calmly. The divine bean soldiers beside him changed their formation
and moved smoothly like water. The cooperation between the various types
of soldiers was extremely smooth and fluid.

Instantly, the warriors of the painting world suffered heavy casualties.

Xiao Qi Xing’s group was also shocked.

“The scale of these divine bean soldiers is quite small, how could they have
such results?”

“With a Gu Immortal commanding them, they are completely different from

before.”
“What should we do? Battle or retreat?”

“Fight! We have numbers on our side, Fang Di Chang might be strong, but the
gap between us is not the gap between immortal and mortal. We have a high
chance of success!”

“Slaughter the immortal!!”

Someone shouted the slogan which made Xiao Qi Xing’s group extremely
excited.

The moment they joined in the battle, the Gu Masters in the front lines felt
like they had received strong reinforcements.

In fact, not only them, even Ye Fan and Hong Yi were also mixed in the
battle, helping out secretly.

Fang Di Chang snorted coldly. Under his command, the divine bean soldiers’
formation kept on changing while being extremely stable.

Xiao Qi Xing’s group battled hard for a long time, but to their horror, they
discovered that the casualty difference between the enemy and their side had
reached a terrifying level. There were only negligible losses to the divine
bean soldiers.

“What should we do?”

“An immortal is still an immortal in the end!”

“Let alone when Fang Di Chang is a wisdom path Gu Immortal.”

Xiao Qi Xing’s group’s morale fell sharply and they had the thought of
retreating, not daring to fight with Fang Di Chang.

But at this time, Fang Di Chang’s body shook suddenly as he coughed a

mouthful of blood. He snorted coldly and looked up at the sky, laughing
coldly: “Genesis Lotus’ will, you couldn’t endure it and took action after
all.”
Fang Di Chang was suppressed by Genesis Lotus’ will, his control over the
divine bean soldiers was no longer as smooth as before.

Xiao Qi Xing’s group immediately felt the pressure on them reducing sharply,
they were surprised and happy as they attacked once again.

Fang Di Chang’s divine bean soldiers continued to fall till they were all
annihilated.

Fang Di Chang had no choice but to attack personally, he rampaged through

the army, killing everyone in his path with no one being able to rival him.

This did not last long, his condition continued to deteriorate as he began to
receive injuries.

After some more time, Fang Di Chang was soaked in blood and started to
stagger.

“To think that I, Fang Di Chang, would actually die in such a place!” Fang Di
Chang shouted in sadness as he self-detonated resolutely.

Boom!

The Gu Masters surrounding him were wiped out with no intact corpses.

After a short period of shock, the surviving Gu Masters shouted in joy.

“We won!”

“We finally killed the demon.”

“Sob… father, mother, I have avenged you.”

Xiao Qi Xing’s group was also excited and their faces were flushed red:
“We killed an immortal! We succeeded in slaughtering the immortal!”
Chapter 2013: Survival Through Death
Xiao Qi Xing’s group strolled along the streets.

The huge battle had just ended, the flourishing and bustling street had turned
into a scene of desolation, with no pedestrians moving around. Even if there
were, they were mostly injured ones.

“Fang Di Chang is not worthy of being in Western Desert’s righteous path!

He slaughtered innocents and caused many deaths. Letting him die like this is
really letting him go easy.” Chen Da Jiang said hatefully.

Ying Sheng Ji sighed as he added: “Yes, this was once a place filled with
rich vitality.”

“Hehehe. You guys are truly funny.” Wei Wu Shang laughed: “This is only a
painting world, it is Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable’s killer move. The
people here are not real existences. No matter how many are dead or injured,
after a few years, it will be restored back to normal.”

“Yes. Compared to these things, I am more curious about the rewards the
sects will give us!” Gu Ting said.

Xiao Qi Xing’s eyes brightened: “We killed an immortal as mortals, and even
got rid of the hidden disaster in Divine Emperor City. With such a huge
contribution, not only our sects, even Heavenly Court should personally
reward us, right? Hahaha!”

Xiao Qi Xing laughed heartily and was inwardly pleased.

He had the best performance and had contributed the most in putting down the
divine bean soldiers and eliminating Fang Di Chang.

In terms of rewards based on contribution, he would be at the top!

In an alley which the group passed by, two beggars were sitting at a corner,
looking at everything with indifference.
The behaviors of these ten great ancient sects’ Gu Immortal seeds naturally
fell into these two beggars’ view.

“I owe my thanks to you, Brother Shen.” One beggar transmitted his voice.

The other beggar laughed: “Should I address you as Fang Yuan, or Fang Di
Chang?”

The other beggar replied: “I am only a clone, and strictly speaking, I can’t
even be considered a clone now, I am only a remnant will. So, you don’t
need to address me as Fang Yuan. As for Fang Di Chang, he is already dead,
having died by self-detonation. I am a nameless person now, just a lowly
beggar remains.”

Shen Shang’s eyes shone: “You are too modest. Even without me, you were
already prepared to use death to escape.”

The other beggar nodded, not denying it: “In my previous plan, if I could
occupy and seize the painting worlds with the divine bean soldiers, it would
have been the best result. But the chance for this was not high. By preempting
the actions to take after defeat, I was naturally prepared for everything. Self-
detonation destroyed my body and soul, but this will was secretly left
behind.”

Pausing for a moment, Fang Yuan’s will continued: “I have to thank you for
your help regardless. If I relied on just my methods, there is a high
probability of Genesis Lotus’ will discovering me. But with you shielding
me, it is a completely different case. Shen Shang, your human path attainment
continues to grow by the day.”

Shen Shang chuckled: “That is true. Since the fate war, after I deciphered the
venerable human path killer moves, my human path attainment rose quite a
bit. And after I arrived in this painting world, I acted as a beggar, observing
and experiencing life which gave me a lot of insight. A beggar has a beggar’s
advantage; beggars stand at the lowest level of society, they can observe the
attitudes of people, experience kindness and harshness, feel hunger and
fullness, warmth and cold.”
Shen Shang then changed the topic, asking: “What do you plan to do now?
Leave here or continue to stay?”

Fang Yuan’s will did not hesitate: “I am unable to leave here. Even if only a
will remains of me now, it has only temporarily escaped the observation of
Genesis Lotus’ will and has not grasped a way to leave. What about you?”

Shen Shang also shook his head: “I also haven’t found the method to leave. I
have already secretly checked those Gu Immortal seeds of the ten great
ancient sects. They are able to enter and exit here because they have obtained
the approval of Genesis Lotus’ will. But I believe that as long as I continue
to stay in hiding and research, my human path attainment will continue to
accumulate and attain a qualitative change. By that time, I can find a method
to leave this place.”

Fang Yuan’s will looked deeply at Shen Shang, he could see Shen Shang was
happy to stay in here.

However, when Fang Yuan thought of it, it was also not strange.

Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable had made this huge move, he created a
special small world to develop human path.

Over here, human path was supreme and other paths were secondary. Human
path had the greatest development while other paths had little progress.

At the same time, this world followed the rules of the mortal world, there
was an insignificant gap between immortals and mortals, which was more
beneficial for the development of human path.

Moreover, the inside and outside were separated, when outsiders came here,
they would be isolated from the five regions and could not even connect to
treasure yellow heaven. This stopped information from spreading outside or
entering and corrupting the people here. Thus, it created an isolated sacred
land of human path.

Shen Shang primarily cultivated human path. In here, he was like a gluttonous
monster that saw absolutely rare delicacies, he was like a fish in water and
even felt deeply attached to this place.

Fang Yuan’s will was currently possessing a body, it was created from Shen
Shang’s beggar Gu.

He had two choices in front of him now. One was to wait for the main body
to rescue him, the other was to cultivate alongside Shen Shang and use Shen
Shang’s strength to get free.

All the information concerning the divine bean soldier calamity was gathered
in Qin Ding Ling’s hands.

“Fang Di Chang died by self-detonation?” Qin Ding Ling frowned.

This result somewhat disappointed Qin Ding Ling, she had been hoping to
capture this clone of Fang Yuan alive. And through him, deduce the location
of Fang Yuan’s main body.

“I did not expect Fang Yuan’s clone to resolutely kill himself, but this also
conforms to Fang Yuan’s vicious personality.” Qin Ding Ling did not hold
much doubts.

“If we could capture him alive, that would have been better. In the painting
world, the gap between immortals and mortals is not big. Unfortunately, these
Gu Immortal seeds have not grown enough and were unable to grasp the
opportunity.” Qin Ding Ling sighed inwardly.

Xiao Qi Xing’s group thought they made important contributions by

slaughtering an immortal, but in her mind, Qin Ding Ling reviewed it poorly.

However, even so, Qin Ding Ling decided to reward these Gu Immortal
seeds heavily. They were important cultivation targets after all.

After dealing with the matter of rewards, Qin Ding Ling put her attention on
Eastern Sea’s conflict once again.

Eastern Sea’s conflict was the clash between humans and variant humans.
One side was led by Qi Sea Ancestor while the other was led by Wu Shuai.
They had fought several times in the immemorial two heavens as well as sea
areas of Eastern Sea, and the battles were becoming increasingly fierce.

After Qi Sea Ancestor saved Profound Literature grotto-heaven, he united

several grotto-heaven forces in the two heavens.

Although Wu Shuai was defeated, he was not willing to show any weakness.
On one hand, he gathered the forces of the two heavens that joined him, on
the other hand, he ambushed and invaded those grotto-heaven forces that
wanted to wait and see.

Wu Shuai’s direction was extremely clear and blunt.

Before attacking the five regions, he must clean up the two heavens to
stabilize their base.

On one hand, this was because the distance between the two heavens’ grotto-
heavens was short and they could dispatch troops easily. If Wu Shuai ignored
this, when the main army was outside in the future, the grotto-heavens only
needed to pose an attack and it could cause Wu Shuai’s army to end up losing
their home ground.

On the other hand, qi harvest fruits of various sizes had appeared in grotto-
heavens of Wu Shuai’s subordinates. Every time Wu Shuai attacked another
grotto-heaven, he would test the variant human Gu Immortals’ suggestions to
get rid of the qi harvest fruits. Wu Shuai’s side was in dire need of such trial
and error.

Because of Wu Shuai’s violent strategy, more and more human forces in the
two heavens sought Qi Sea Ancestor’s protection.

Qi Sea Ancestor defended the grotto-heavens while integrating various

forces. But on the whole, they were still at a disadvantage.

Wu Shuai’s two heavens alliance was strengthening at a much faster speed

than Qi Sea Ancestor’s.
He was actively protecting the variant humans’ benefits, which caused
increasingly more variant human grotto-heavens to join him. In the two
heavens, variant human grotto-heavens were much larger in numbers than
human grotto-heavens.

The final batch of variant human forces who adopted the thought of waiting
and seeing took the initiative to side with Wu Shuai. On one hand, they were
forced to because of the situation, on the other hand, if they did not surrender,
there was no hope in resolving the hidden danger of the qi harvest fruits in
their grotto-heavens.

Wu Shuai’s prestige soared but the qi harvest fruit’s issue was still troubling
him. The two heavens alliance tested many methods but they had all failed in
eliminating qi harvest fruits.

Over at Qi Sea Ancestor’s side, the progress in researching the mysteries of

qi harvest fruit was also quite slow.

Wu Shuai’s and Qi Sea Ancestor’s sides fought frequently, but there were not
many casualties. It was because both sides were not focused on eliminating
the other side, but on clearing up the danger of the qi harvest fruits.

“The one who knows the most about the mysteries of the qi harvest fruit is
probably Demon Immortal Qi Jue. Unfortunately my strength is restrained at
present and unable to deal with him.” Fang Yuan sighed in pity.

He had already resolved the huge problem of heaven’s will, but he still had
no clue as to how to refine heaven path dao marks.

Demon Immortal Qi Jue, who Fang Yuan was thinking about, had currently
arrived at Western Desert.

“It should be nearby.” Demon Immortal Qi Jue flew low and searched
everywhere.

He did not succeed in borrowing Gu from Qi Sea Ancestor, so he used qi

path investigative methods to search for other qi path Immortal Gu.
And on this search, he found several qi path Immortal Gu.

These qi path Immortal Gu were mostly wild Immortal Gu, they were
naturally born after enormous qi tides, as for the rest, they were looted from
other Gu Immortals.

Demon Immortal Qi Jue did not go overboard, he only looted qi path

Immortal Gu and spared the Gu Immortals.

Moving and stopping along the way, Demon Immortal Qi Jue gradually left
Eastern Sea and arrived at Western Desert.

“I deduced that a qi path Immortal Gu is near here.” Just as Demon Immortal

Qi Jue was mumbling, a Gu Immortal suddenly appeared within his
investigative range.

Rank eight Gu Immortal, Red Heart Traveler!

Chapter 2014: Qi Jue Takes Blood Qi
Seeing this Gu Immortal, who was wearing a headband and a green robe,
having a tall and powerful stance and handsome appearance, Demon
Immortal Qi Jue’s mind shook: “That qi path Immortal Gu I deduced, could it
be on this person?”

The moment this thought emerged, Demon Immortal Qi Jue attacked!

With a loud sound, a giant white qi hand moved to catch Red Heart Traveler.

Almost at the same time that Demon Immortal Qi Jue discovered Red Heart
Traveler, Red Heart Traveler also discovered Demon Immortal Qi Jue.

Demon Immortal Qi Jue did not recognize Red Heart Traveler, but Red Heart
Traveler already had Heavenly Court’s first hand information on Demon
Immortal Qi Jue.

Seeing the white qi hand fly towards him, Red Heart Traveler’s heart jumped
and he quickly evaded.

Red Heart Traveler was a Heavenly Court Gu Immortal and the previous
Demon Judgment Board leader, he was very strong. During the fate war, he
came to Western Desert and disguised as a blood path demonic immortal,
attracting the attention of many super forces of Western Desert’s righteous
path, thus restraining a large number of hostile forces for Central Continent.

Looking at the whole of Western Desert’s Gu Immortal world, Red Heart

Traveler had the confidence to fight against almost any Western Desert Gu
Immortal. But right now, his opponent was Demon Immortal Qi Jue, one of
the strongest Gu Immortals in the present age.

Red Heart Traveler was well aware that he was not Demon Immortal Qi
Jue’s match. The gap was too large, and the loser of this battle was certain to
be him.

So Red Heart Traveler retreated without any hesitation.

At the next moment, Demon Immortal Qi Jue saw a lump of blood red light
emerge behind Red Heart Traveler’s head, after which the latter’s speed
increased sharply and was able to dodge his qi hand.

Demon Immortal Qi Jue exclaimed slightly, mumbling inwardly: “Blood path

again? It seems like blood path is very prolific in this age.”

Demon Immortal Qi Jue was naturally not willing to let go of Red Heart
Traveler so easily, so he gave chase.

One chased and one fled, they had soon traveled over ten thousand li.

To his surprise, Demon Immortal Qi Jue discovered his main movement

method was actually unable to catch up to Red Heart Traveler. Naturally, he
was not left behind in the dust either.

“I have already modified my movement method but I am still unable to catch

up to this person. Who is this person? A rank eight blood path Gu
Immortal….”

Demon Immortal Qi Jue searched his memories and gradually found some
clues.

He had previously soul searched Qing Hui Zi and obtained a lot of

information. Red Heart Traveler’s true identity was not exposed but he
created havoc in Western Desert, and with the sensitive identity of a rank
eight blood path expert, information regarding him was already spread in
treasure yellow heaven and every Gu Immortal in the world had learned of it.

After chasing for some more time, Demon Immortal Qi Jue suddenly shouted:
“Where exactly are you running to?”

His preparation was finished, he activated a killer move.

Red Heart Traveler immediately felt the surrounding qi currents engulf him,
severely affecting his speed.

He sighed inwardly, he could only turn around and fight Demon Immortal Qi
Jue.
Demon Immortal Qi Jue’s moves were majestic and powerful, milky white qi
currents surged like a tsunami with unstoppable might.

When they truly fought, there was no surprise, Red Heart Traveler fell into a
disadvantage. But his methods also were not weak, blood red light spread
and blood red flowers bloomed, there was no evil feeling, on the contrary,
they were warm and righteous as they defended him.

Red Heart Traveler struggled with all his might, but in just several rounds,
his whole body was soaked with sweat. He sighed internally: “As expected
of a monster that was recorded in history, he is too strong!”

Red Heart Traveler felt he was like a small boat that was using all its
strength to dodge and delay for time under the tidal wave-like attacks of
Demon Immortal Qi Jue.

After several more rounds, Red Heart Traveler was already in a perilous
situation.

At this time, there was suddenly a beast roar. An immemorial desolate beast
drilled out from the desert and went for a surprise attack on Demon Immortal
Qi Jue from behind.

Demon Immortal Qi Jue was caught off-guard but he did not panic, he waved
his hand and a mountain-like giant qi hand slammed into the immemorial
desolate beast.

But just as this immemorial desolate beast was about to be struck by the giant
hand, it suddenly let out bright light and transformed into an immemorial
swallow that shot towards Demon Immortal Qi Jue like a black arrow.

“So it is a transformation path Gu Immortal! Haha, interesting.” Demon

Immortal Qi Jue was slightly surprised, he praised while he fought against
this immortal.

The aid was from Nine Spiritual Fairy.

She and Red Heart Traveler had come to Western Desert together to help
each other out.

With her reinforcement, Red Heart Traveler’s situation immediately turned

better, he managed to escape from the horrible outcome of death.

“We can’t fight for long! This old demon is truly terrifying, we are not his
match. We are only able to resist him now because he is not familiar with our
methods yet.” Red Heart Traveler hurriedly transmitted his voice.

He had fought Demon Immortal Qi Jue and felt the terror of an expert at the
peak of the present age. Demon Immortal Qi Jue was unable to get rid of him
because he had resurrected not long ago and had yet to completely adapt to
the changes. If they truly fought, it was only a matter of time before Heavenly
Court’s two immortals were killed by Demon Immortal Qi Jue.

“I have an idea, follow me!” Nine Spiritual Fairy transmitted her voice,
retreating while fighting.

Demon Immortal Qi Jue chased after the two immortals all the way to a
desert.

Nine Spiritual Fairy suddenly transformed into an immemorial desolate beast

and held Red Heart Traveler in her mouth before plunging into the desert.

Demon Immortal Qi Jue snorted coldly: “Foolish action!”

With a clap of his hands, heaven and earth shook. Milky white qi current
slammed the desert surface like a tsunami, the surrounding hundred li of
desert was forcibly pressed down to over ten feet deep!

Nine Spiritual Fairy let out a muffled groan as she suffered heavy injuries.

Red Heart Traveler quickly used healing methods on her.

Nine Spiritual Fairy did not dare to return to fighting and concentrated only
on moving deeper into the ground.
Demon Immortal Qi Jue was just about to plunge into the desert and continue
chasing when he suddenly heard a beast roar. At the next moment, a huge
immemorial soul beast flew out of the nearby desert ground.

Demon Immortal Qi Jue’s pupils shrunk slightly when he saw this

immemorial soul beast.

This immemorial soul beast had a strange shape and looked quite furious. It
had a tortoise shell, four tiger paws, dragon tail, snake neck, and a human
head. Its head was full of disheveled hair and its eyes were letting out
ominous light and fury.

This was a legendary immemorial desolate beast with many Immortal Gu!

“Oh, you found Qing Chou.” Seeing Demon Immortal Qi Jue tangled with the
immemorial soul beast, Red Heart Traveler exclaimed in shock.

This immemorial soul beast was Qing Chou.

After Divine Bean Palace was seized by Fang clan, Qing Chou left Divine
Bean Palace and hid itself in some areas.

But in the fate war, Divine Bean Palace and Emperor City had merged into
one and Genesis Lotus’ was in control of it. After the fate war, Genesis
Lotus’ will naturally handed all kinds of information to Heavenly Court.

Not only did Qin Ding Ling know of Fang Di Chang’s true identity, she also
obtained information on Qing Chou. Divine Bean Palace had imprisoned
Qing Chou for so many years, Genesis Lotus’ will had an extremely high
understanding of it and knew of a secret method to find it.

Qin Ding Ling obtained this secret method and secretly commanded Nine
Spiritual Fairy to search for Qing Chou and subdue it.

Qing Chou was a legendary immemorial beast, not only did it have
outstanding battle strength, it also had a natural ability to recognize
everything related to Spectral Soul. If Heavenly Court obtained it, not only
could they deal with Fang Yuan, they could even deal with Spectral Soul, it
could be considered as killing two birds with one stone.

Nine Spiritual Fairy had found Qing Chou’s location not long ago, but her
strength was insufficient and she had no confidence in succeeding. When Red
Heart Traveler ran into Demon Immortal Qi Jue, she thought of a plan to lure
Demon Immortal Qi Jue into fighting with Qing Chou.

“Amazing, like this, we can watch from the sidelines and even possibly
benefit from their conflict.” Red Heart Traveler smiled.

“Qing Chou is not Demon Immortal Qi Jue’s match, we need to observe the
situation before making a decision.” Nine Spiritual Fairy talked while
moving deeper into the ground, the further away they were from the
battlefield, the better.

However, beyond the expectations of Heavenly Court’s two immortals,

Demon Immortal Qi Jue felt something amiss and breathed out boundless qi
currents that filled the sky.

He entered them and quickly disappeared.

Without an opponent, Qing Chou also chose to leave the battlefield, escaping
to the horizons.

Deep underground, Heavenly Court’s two immortals looked at each other.

Red Heart Traveler suddenly said: “Damn it! That Blood Sea true inheritance
is going to be taken!”

Nine Spiritual Fairy was stunned for a moment before reacting: “You really
found that blood path true inheritance?”

Red Heart Traveler nodded, sighing: “Heavenly Court’s clues were not
wrong, the crucial key was the qi tide that exposed the Blood Sea true
inheritance. I searched for over half a month before finally arriving at the
location. But I ran into Demon Immortal Qi Jue over there.”

Nine Spiritual Fairy was silent.

Meanwhile, Demon Immortal Qi Jue returned back to the original spot.

“It is really here!” He inspected for a while, discovering the target was still
here and had not moved.

After trying for a while more, he successfully obtained this Blood Sea true
inheritance.

Back then, Blood Sea Ancestor had set up hundreds of thousands of

inheritance sites that spread over Central Continent, Southern Border,
Northern Plains, Western Desert and Eastern Sea. Among them, there were
nine true inheritances.

One of the true inheritances had now fallen into Demon Immortal Qi Jue’s
hands.

“Blood path true inheritance… amazing, with this true inheritance, it will be
several times easier for me to deal with blood path Gu Immortals.”

“And this blood qi Immortal Gu is really suitable for me. Hahaha.”

Demon Immortal Qi Jue laughed heartily.

Almost all the killer moves he activated before consumed qi path immortal
materials. Now that he obtained a qi path Immortal Gu, his strength was
raised further.

Although there was still some difference from his peak condition in history,
he was already much stronger than when he fought Fang Yuan.
Chapter 2015: Sand Wolf Citys Huge Change
Western Desert.

Wind blew hard and sand flew everywhere. A merchant caravan pulled by
camels was moving with difficulty through the barren desert.

“Oh heavens, we finally returned to Sand Wolf City.” Inside the caravan,
Peng Da spoke with deep emotions as he showed an exhausted expression.

Gu Master Mo Li was sitting on a camel to the side, he looked at Peng Da

and laughed: “Kid, your words are quite different from when we moved out
the first time.”

Peng Da’s face flushed a little. When Mo Li had just organized the merchant
caravan, Peng Da had been extremely excited and thought the adventure
would be amazing and fun.

But after a few caravan trips, Peng Da had already fully realized his former
naivety. In this world, peddling was not only difficult and extremely
dangerous, it was also extremely tiring. With even some slight carelessness,
his fragile life would be lost in the vast and merciless desert.

However, Peng Da’s emotions resonated with other Gu Masters in the

merchant caravan.

“Yes, we are back home again.”

“We did not encounter any danger in this journey, but it was truly exhausting.
I am going to take a good bath after returning.”

“I am already unable to control myself, I’ll go drink my fill at the tavern,

hahaha.”

Mo Li smiled, he thought of his wife as well as his son, who had changed a
lot recently. His son was selected and was heavily cultivated, his prodigal
son had truly turned over a new leaf.
These beautiful wonders of life gave Mo Li brand new hope and motivation.
Being a caravan merchant was difficult, but he found joy in his own way.

“Wait, something is going on!” The investigative Gu Master who was at the
forefront of the caravan suddenly shouted.

Peng Da immediately tensed up while also feeling somewhat strange.

According to common sense, this was near Sand Wolf City and there should
be no danger here. So why was there the sudden warning?

Mo Li immediately activated his investigative Gu worm, his body slightly

stiffened as he shouted: “The situation is strange, rush forward with full
speed!”

Peng Da and the rest did not know the reason but seeing Mo Li take the lead,
they naturally believed in the merchant caravan leader and followed quickly.

When they got close to Sand Wolf City, they did not even need to use Gu
worms to discover the abnormalities.

Puffs of gray smoke curled upwards, there was also fire and a burnt smell in
the air that all came from Sand Wolf City.

Everyone in the merchant caravan had a bad feeling as they moved even
faster.

Finally, they arrived in front of Sand Wolf City’s gate.

“Impossible!”

“What exactly is going on?!”

“Oh heavens, this is a dream, right? It must be a dream.”

Some of the merchant caravan members simply knelt on the ground, some
broke down and started crying, even the most stable, leader Mo Li, was
standing in a daze.
Peng Da’s eyes were wide open as he looked at the scene in front of him in
disbelief.

The flouring Sand Wolf City had now become ruins. There were corpses
everywhere, rubble and wreckage littered the roads, fire burned and smoke
was everywhere, the scene was too horrible to look at.

Mo Li mumbled when he suddenly jolted, running towards the inner city.

His movement jolted many people, Gu Masters began rushing to their homes.

Peng Da did not have a home so he rode a camel and followed Mo Li.

Mo Li was fast, and with anxiety burning his heart, he directly left Peng Da
far behind. Fortunately, Peng Da had returned to Sand Wolf City several
times and knew the path to Mo Li’s home.

When Peng Da reached Mo Li’s home, he saw ruins. Mo Li was kneeling on

the ground, silently looking at his wife’s corpse that he had dug out.

Peng Da, however, sensed deep sadness from Mo Li’s silence.

“How could this be? What exactly happened here?” While Peng Da was sad,
even more so, he was bewildered.

As far as he was concerned, Sand Wolf City was a large city with many Gu
Masters stationed here, but it was actually destroyed and turned into a city
devoid of life!

What kind of strength could have the power to destroy the whole of Sand
Wolf City?

Was it a qi tide disaster?

But it did not look like that at all from the traces.

“This world is truly too dangerous. People are living in danger, even Gu
Masters are the same. There is simply no safe place.” Peng Da felt his
insignificance growing increasingly.
He looked at Mo Li who was kneeling like a statue and opened his mouth
several times before finally saying: “Uncle, we need to pull ourselves
together. Don’t forget you still have a son.”

These words shook Mo Li, his eyes lit up with some hope once again.

“Peng Da, thank you for your reminder! My son is still in the inner city area,
he is a Gu Immortal seed and is heavily nurtured. He must be okay, he has to
be guarded properly! Let’s go find him!”

Mo Li carried his wife’s corpse and rushed towards the inner city area with
Peng Da.

The whole inner city area had turned into a huge crater.

The inner city area — was gone!

Several caravan members were standing at the edge of the crater, watching it
blankly.

Mo Li walked towards them and looked at the huge crater in front of him, his
face turned extremely pale and his lips trembled, unable to say anything.

Peng Da took in a sharp breath of air, he could see this huge crater was a
beast’s footprint. Such a large footprint meant this beast was unimaginably
huge!

“This is not man-made.”

“A beast calamity!”

“A mountain sized beast attacked Sand Wolf City and killed everyone!”

The caravan members analyzed and started weeping again.

Mo Li fell into deathly silence and Peng Da did not know how to console
him. Mo Li once had a beautiful home and now it was all gone, only he
himself was remaining.
As far as Mo Li was concerned, as far as the surviving caravan members
were concerned, fate was simply too cruel!

Boom—!

Just at this time, there was a sonic boom in the sky above everyone.

This sound immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

“Could it be that the giant beast did not leave?” Peng Da quickly raised his
head and saw two figures floating in the sky.

“Gu Immortals!” The other Gu Masters shouted.

“Disaster befell this place as well.” The Gu Immortals in the sky talked, their
voices echoing and spreading below, they did not conceal it.

“This damned beast, it has caused my Mo clan to suffer such disastrous

losses. Wait until I capture it, I will pull out its tendons and flay its skin to
ease my anger.” Another Gu Immortal said in fury.

“Let’s go, we will catch up to it soon.” The two Gu Immortals quickly flew
away.

The Gu Masters on the ground were silent for a while when someone
suddenly started to cry out loud.

“Father, mother, you died so miserably. I, your son, cannot avenge you, but
the immortals will uphold justice for you!”

Peng Da was silent, his mood was extremely heavy. At this moment, he
suddenly had a realization: Even if one becomes a Gu Master, even if they
are a rank five Gu Master, what use is it? Only by becoming a Gu Immortal
could they have some sort of control over their own fate in this world.

“I want to follow them to take a look.” Mo Li suddenly said with a resolute

expression.

“Leader, are you crazy?” The surrounding Gu Masters quickly persuaded.

Mo Li’s attitude was firm: “I am incompetent! I cannot avenge my wife and
child, but I will stake all my strength to see the death of the culprit with my
own two eyes! If I can’t even grasp this chance, even if I live on, I will feel
regret for the rest of my life!”

These words resonated with the remaining Gu Masters, they agreed and
expressed that they wanted to move alongside Mo Li to see justice being
upheld.

“Uncle, I also want to follow you.” Peng Da said.

“You should stay behind, kid.” Mo Li’s expression softened somewhat as he

looked at Peng Da.

Peng Da smiled bitterly: “Uncle, you have saved me time and time again, you
are my closest person in this world. Since I followed you, I will definitely
not separate with you at this crucial moment. Let me continue to follow you,
uncle!”

Mo Li looked deeply at Peng Da for a good while before nodding and saying
with a hoarse voice: “Then follow me, rascal.”

The group of Gu Masters followed the direction the Gu Immortals flew

towards and left the ruins of Sand Wolf City.

On the way, the footprints of the giant beast was exceptionally obvious,
which kept them on the correct path.

They rushed like this for a day and a night when they suddenly heard thunder
in the horizon.

“This is not thunder, it is the fight between the Gu Immortals and the giant
beast!”

“Listen closely, you can vaguely hear a beast’s howl.”

The Gu Masters were excited as they sped up, wanting to get closer.

But at this time, a dark qi current sprayed out like a rainbow crossing the sky.
A thread of the qi current fell near the Gu Masters. A trace of the dark qi
brushed past a Gu Master’s shoulder.

That Gu Master suddenly cried out in terror, his skin and muscles started
rotting and he soon melted into a white skeleton!

Everyone was horrified at this shocking change and quickly escaped in all
directions.

Fortunately, the dark qi dispersed with the wind and did not linger.

“It is too dangerous to go closer!”

“This is only the aftereffect of the fight between the Gu Immortals and the
giant beast, we have no strength to resist it.”

“If we move in any closer, we will lose our lives.”

Most of the Gu Masters stopped and turned back.

“I still want to try it. You can leave.” Mo Li was the only remaining Gu
Master.

Peng Da still wanted to follow him, but this time, Mo Li’s attitude was firm,
he drove him away.

Alone, Mo Li moved some distance with difficulty, when he climbed up a

sand dune and looked, he could not help taking in a sharp breath at what he
saw.

Far away in the horizon, dark fog covered everywhere.

The fog was clearly the dark qi current from earlier. In the dark fog, Mo Li
could vaguely see a figure of a mountain-sized beast as well as the
occasional lightning flashes.

Mo Li breathed in deeply and was about to continue moving forward when

he was suddenly hugged from behind.
“Uncle, do you want to die? Don’t go any forward, you will lose your life!”
Peng Da shouted.

“Brat, why haven’t you left yet?” Mo Li was furious.

Peng Da said with sincerity: “Uncle, you are my benefactor, how can I forget
your kindness and watch you send yourself to death’s door? I know you want
to die, your condition is not right, I have been following you all the way but
you were unable to discover me! Uncle, live on, don’t kill yourself!”

But Mo Li was not persuaded: “Brat, get lost!”

“I won’t!”

“Screw off——! This has nothing to do with you. You are still young and
have a long life ahead of you, don’t come here to die.”

“Uncle, I will save you!”

“I don’t need you to save me, even if I die, I will stake my life to take
revenge. Even if it is an insignificant attack, as long as it lands on that
damned beast, I will be satisfied!!”

Boom——!

Just as the two were bickering, a hurricane flew over from the battle on the
horizon.

The hurricane was like a pillar that connected heaven and earth, it moved
quickly towards the two.

“Damn it!” Peng Da and Mo Li simply did not have the time to dodge and
were swept away by the hurricane.

The two insignificant figures disappeared into the violent hurricane in an

instant.
Chapter 2016: Dazzling Smile
Western Desert.

Dark clouds covered the sky and thunder rumbled as the fierce fight of the
Mo clan Gu Immortals with the mysterious giant beast continued.

“Die, beast!”

“I will tear out your bones and tendons as resources to compensate for the
losses my Mo clan suffered.”

The two Mo clan Gu Immortals were furious, the giant beast brought disaster
to Mo clan, causing heavy losses. The areas these two were responsible for
suffered even more severe damage.

“You want to kill me?” During the battle, the mysterious giant beast suddenly
spoke human words.

Mo clan’s two immortals were shocked and their hearts jumped wildly.

At the same moment, the giant beast opened its mouth and shot out its long
purple-red tongue.

The long tongue moved with astonishing speed and pierced through a Mo
clan Gu Immortal’s body. Almost instantaneously, this Mo clan Gu Immortal
was corroded by the strong poison and turned into nothingness.

Only the immortal aperture turned into an indistinct light speck and fell to the
ground.

“You are a legendary immemorial beast!?” The remaining Mo clan Gu

Immortal was horrified and retreated in panic.

But it was already late.

The mysterious giant beast was Qing Chou. It laughed coldly as ghost qi
started surging around it. The dense layers of ghost qi turned into ghostly
figures which blocked the Mo clan Gu Immortal.

Qing Chou closed in slowly: “Didn’t you want to kill me and pull out my
bones and tendons?”

Mo clan’s Gu Immortal shouted in fear: “Spare me, I belong to Mo clan.

Spare me and Mo clan won’t pursue you any further.”

“Pursue me?” Hearing this, a trace of anger flashed past Qing Chou’s face:
“You two idiots do not even know you are being used by others. Go and die!”

“Ahhh—!” The Mo clan Gu Immortal let out a painful shriek as ghostly

figures pounced on and killed them.

After killing these two Gu Immortals, Qing Chou looked towards the desert.

Sand flew wildly on the ground, turning into a giant monster, it was an
immemorial sand monster. This was the assistance brought by the Mo clan
Gu Immortals, they were able to restrain Qing Chou by using it.

But the Mo clan Gu Immortals had not expected Qing Chou to be a legendary
immemorial desolate beast with wisdom that surpassed ordinary humans.
Qing Chou took advantage of this point, pretending to be an ordinary
immemorial desolate beast, which made the Mo clan immortals complacent
and relax their guard. Then with Qing Chou’s fierce counterattack, the
immortals died.

With the death of the Mo clan immortals, this immemorial sand monster was
no longer controlled; its movement began to slow down and it stood on the
ground while looking at Qing Chou.

Qing Chou stared at the immemorial sand monster: “Get lost!”

The immemorial sand monster shook with fear and immediately turned
around, plunging into the desert and escaping.
Qing Chou scared away the monster but the surrounding ghost qi intensified
further, it looked at a certain area in the sky and sneered: “Two despicable
worms, are you still not coming out?”

The moment its words came out, Heavenly Court’s two immortals, Nine
Spiritual Fairy and Red Heart Traveler, slowly showed themselves. They
were floating in the sky side by side and were looking down at Qing Chou.

Previously, when Red Heart Traveler was searching for the Blood Sea true
inheritance, he was obstructed by Demon Immortal Qi Jue. After realizing
Demon Immortal Qi Jue’s goal, Red Heart Traveler resolutely gave up on the
Blood Sea true inheritance and continued to chase Qing Chou with Nine
Spiritual Fairy.

After all, Qing Chou’s matter concerned Heavenly Court’s plan. And, even if
he got the Blood Sea true inheritance, it would only raise Red Heart
Traveler’s strength. The more important thing was clear with one glance.

Nine Spiritual Fairy and Red Heart Traveler possessed Heavenly Court’s
secret method, so they continued to trace and soon discovered Qing Chou.

But the two did not dare to make a move rashly.

This was Western Desert, enemies were all around them, and it was not the
territory of these two immortals. If they rashly started a fight, with the other
being a legendary immemorial desolate beast, once the fight entered a
stalemate, Western Desert’s native Gu Immortals would interfere and the
situation would become too unstable.

After some discussion, Nine Spiritual Fairy transformed into an immemorial

desolate beast and destroyed the surrounding resource points, attracting some
Mo clan Gu Immortals.

The two Mo clan immortals brought an immemorial sand monster but they
were not even able to make Qing Chou expend its energy, instead, Qing Chou
discovered traces of the two Heavenly Court immortals.
With their plan failing and Qing Chou exposing their position, the two
Heavenly Court immortals showed themselves and attacked.

Boom boom boom!

The two immortals were both rank eight and were extraordinary indeed.
Their moves were violent and their attacks were like unceasing waves.

Qing Chou immediately fell into a disadvantage.

But Qing Chou was an immemorial desolate beast, its body was extremely
tough and thick, there was no injury even after getting hit by several rank
eight killer moves.

After dozens of exchanges, it became familiar with the techniques of the

Heavenly Court immortals and began to slowly turn around the situation.

However, this did not last long, a qi tide began to appear.

It was because the immortal apertures of the dead Mo clan immortals had
opened the entrance and started to absorb heaven and earth qi to stabilize
themselves.

There was a difference in the heaven and earth qi in these two immortal
apertures and the outside world, and along with the accumulated impact from
the fights between the Gu Immortals and Qing Chou, a giant qi tide was
formed.

Qing Chou suffered heavy restriction in the qi tide, its strength fell sharply.
On the contrary, the two Heavenly Court immortals had offered their
immortal apertures and only had phantom apertures, thus they were not
affected too much in the qi tide.

Qing Chou roared and struggled but it was all in vain.

It then realized that the two Heavenly Court immortals still had another layer
of planning. They did not just use the two Western Desert immortals, they
even calculated their immortal apertures in their plan!
Just as Qing Chou was fighting bitterly, Peng Da shook his head and opened
his eyes.

“Where am I?” After a moment of daze, he discovered he was being carried

by Mo Li and they were moving on a huge sand dune.

“Uncle, you saved me again.” Peng Da sighed.

“You are awake.” Mo Li smiled.

“Uncle, you can put me down.”

But Mo Li shook his head: “Your injuries are severe, although I healed you,
you should not move within a short period of time.”

Peng Da smiled bitterly: “I have troubled uncle again. Where is this?”

Mo Li replied: “Sigh, we were swept away for over ten thousand li by the
hurricane, we are now going back.”

Mo Li had lived many years in the desert, he naturally had a method to

distinguish the directions.

Peng Da was immediately worried after hearing Mo Li’s words: “Uncle, you
still want to return? You want to go back and die?!”

Mo Li was silent for a while, his voice was low and deep, containing
resolution: “I also know returning is risky, but if I don’t even see the
appearance of the killer of my wife and son, I will never be able to rest
easy!”

“Uncle…” Peng Da did not know what to say. He understood the sadness and
hatred Mo Li was feeling right now, and it was because of this, he was
unable to persuade him further.

Mo Li continued: “Brat, I am thankful for your concern. After we travel a bit

further, I will drop you off with enough water and food. It won’t be an issue
for you to cross the desert and get to the nearest city.”
“Uncle, I won’t leave, I can’t leave you alone.”

“Don’t make a scene!”

“I am not making a scene, you are the one who is irrational!”

Just as the two were quarreling, the sand below Mo Li began to move and
formed a huge whirlpool that sucked both of them inside.

Mo Li quickly used his Gu worms but it was of no use.

He was pale with shock: “What is going on? My Gu worms actually have no
effect!”

Peng Da also tried with no result, his face was extremely pale: “Is this
quicksand? We are going to be sucked in!”

This quicksand was too strange, their methods were useless on it.

The two were getting closer and closer to the center of the quicksand, their
bodies were slowly buried under the sand and their faces were ashen.

“Am I going to die?” Peng Da mumbled.

Mo Li heaved a deep sigh: “I implicated you, Peng Da.”

“I, I don’t blame you uncle. It was all my choice.” Peng Da felt his heart
beating wildly and his throat parched, he did not know what to express.

The feeling before impending death was really the worst!

But soon, Peng Da’s attention was caught by another thing.

He found that uncle Mo Li who usually had great mental fortitude was
actually crying.

Mo Li sobbed: “I am going to die but my revenge has yet to be done! I did not
even see the killer’s true appearance. I am too weak, too weak! I don’t even
have the qualifications to approach the enemy. The gap between immortals
and mortals is too big, I am only a mortal, I am like an ant!”

Peng Da opened his mouth to console Mo Li, but he did not know what to
say.

At the next moment, the hot sand poured into his mouth as Peng Da quickly
closed it. His whole body was buried and his sight was filled with darkness.

“Am I going to die?”

“I am dying like this?!”

“Hehehehe, I am truly pitiful, to think that my journey in this new world is

going to end like this.”

“I really don’t want to die, I really don’t want to die!”

Suddenly, in his dark vision, there were specks of starlight.

“Huh? I didn’t die?” Peng Da sat up and looked at the scene in front of him in
disbelief.

He was now at the bottom of a dry well, the quicksand whirlpool continued
to rotate in the entrance of the well, but the strange thing was that the sand did
not fall down.

There was a mysterious force here that stopped the quicksand whirlpool and
only allowed Peng Da and Mo Li to enter it.

“Uncle, uncle?” Peng Da immediately saw Mo Li and shouted twice before

he got a reaction.

“Kid, you are awake? This is an immortal opportunity, we have struck gold!”
Mo Li turned around, saying with excitement and shock: “This is very likely
an inheritance left by a Gu Immortal.”

“Uncle, you are certain?” Peng Da’s eyes opened in incredulity, this was too
dreamlike, the ups and downs of life came too suddenly.
He was not a greenhorn who had just transmigrated, the current Peng Da had
traveled with Mo Li’s caravan many times and knew about the Gu world. Gu
Immortals and Gu Immortal inheritances were always a topic of discussion
among Gu Masters in their idle time, he did not expect the unreachable thing
to appear in front of him now.

“Damn it, damn it!”

“Why is there no reaction?”

Mo Li attempted many things and was getting restless but the starlight
showed no reaction.

“Uncle, this might not be a Gu Immortal inheritance, right? I feel like you are
thinking too much.” At this time, Peng Da finally stood up and walked
towards Mo Li.

Mo Li did not retort, he also began to doubt his previous judgment.

But right at this time, the starlight suddenly made a movement. Like tidal
waves, they passed by Mo Li and entered Peng Da’s body.

The two were shocked.

This happened so fast that when they reacted the starlight had already entered
Peng Da’s body.

Without the starlight, the well fell into darkness.

Mo Li activated his Gu worm, creating a lump of fire in his hand that

brightened the well once again.

Peng Da was standing on the spot in daze like a statue with his eye eyes wide
open.

Mo Li quickly neared him: “Peng Da, Peng Da! Are you alright?”

Only then did Peng Da react: “Un… uncle, you were correct, this is truly a
Gu Immortal inheritance and it is Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable’s
inheritance!”

“What, Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable?!” Mo Li was shaken, they had a

lot of understanding regarding venerable existences as well. Due to the
current time and situation, the Gu Immortal world’s knowledge was no longer
secret among mortals.

Mo Li’s gaze turned slightly complicated: “This means to say, Peng Da, you
are an otherworldly demon? No wonder the inheritance did not respond to
me.”

Peng Da felt ashamed: “Uncle, I didn’t intentionally conceal it from you. It

was just that…”

“Alright.” Mo Li waved his hand: “So what if you are an otherworldly

demon? You are still Peng Da, the person I know, isn’t that so?”

Peng Da was extremely moved and nodded his head quickly: “Yes! Thank
you for understanding, uncle.”

Mo Li shook his hand: “Alright, alright, you really struck it big this time.
Since you inherited the Demon Venerable’s inheritance, then use the method
to leave here quickly. Ordinary methods are useless here.”

Peng Da felt ashamed: “The situation is like this, uncle, although I have many
Gu worms, I cannot use them. This is the first time I am seeing these Gu
worms and need a lot of practice. Moreover, according to the inheritance, I
must use one of the killer moves to leave here.”

“Then practise it quickly, ask anything you don’t understand, uncle will guide
you!”

“Yes, thank you uncle.”

“Is there still a need for thanks between us?” Mo Li smiled: “Practise
quickly, we don’t have much water and food.”

As the inheritor, it did not matter if Peng Da ate or drank in the well, but Mo
Li could not share the same benefit.
Over the next few days, Peng Da practised without resting. He was only a
mortal so the Gu worms he practised with were all mortal Gu.

This was the first time he was coming in contact with these Gu worms,
although there were detailed explanations in the inheritance, he still needed
to practise and master these Gu worms.

Mo Li helped Peng Da to study and learn, once they had some progress, Peng
Da would hand the Gu worms to Mo Li for demonstration and guidance.

Mo Li was an experienced Gu Master, although he did not have the

qualifications to inherit the Thieving Heaven true inheritance, he had much
more efficient ways to probe these Gu worms.

Finally, Peng Da was barely able to master the usage of several Gu worms
and found a way to use a killer move.

“Go on Peng Da, try to succeed in one attempt!” Mo Li encouraged Peng Da.

“Watch this, uncle.” Peng Da used the killer move for the first time but it did
not succeed.

The killer move activation failed and he suffered backlash, he coughed blood
and fell on the ground.

“Peng Da, are you okay?” Mo Li quickly inspected Peng Da’s body.

Peng Da squeezed words out through his mouth: “I have disappointed you,
uncle. But rest assured, I will definitely… ah!”

Suddenly, his eyes opened wide.

He then looked at his chest with an incredulous expression.

His chest was pierced through by Mo Li’s hand, his heart was destroyed
because of this sneak attack!

“Un… uncle…” Even more blood started flowing out of Peng Da’s mouth.
Mo Li raised his head slowly, his eyes were filled with tears and his
expression was extremely twisted, unfamiliarity and fear filled Peng Da’s
mind.

Mo Li’s voice was extremely hoarse: “I want revenge, I want revenge! But
the true inheritance chose you, uncle had no other options, Peng Da! You are
too young, you practised for so long but you could not even master a killer
move. Uncle cannot wait any longer, uncle cannot depend on you.”

Mo Li then took out his hand.

Peng Da powerlessly fell onto the ground, his eyes helplessly looking at the
entrance of the well.

He was dead.

But Mo Li did not stop, he activated his Gu worms and captured Peng Da’s
soul.

“Alright, the Thieving Heaven true inheritance is mine now.” Mo Li laughed.

Peng Da’s blood was splattered on his face, his bloodstained face had a
dazzling smile.
Chapter 2017: Bai Ning Bing Versus Hei Lou Lan
Central Continent, on a certain nameless and ordinary peak.

Four Gu Immortals arrived at the base of the mountain while concealing

themselves.

“Hei Lou Lan is on this mountain.” Ying Wu Xie looked at the peak and
spoke.

At his sides were Fairy Zi Wei, Old Man Zheng Yuan, and Bai Ning Bing.

After Fairy Zi Wei and Old Man Zheng Yuan forced Bai Ning Bing to
surrender, they obtained Ying Wu Xie’s whereabouts. Ying Wu Xie was a
split soul of Spectral Soul and his mission had always been to rescue his
main body.

But due to his strength and Fang Yuan’s arrangements, Ying Wu Xie could not
enter Heavenly Court. After the fate war, fate Gu was destroyed and Fang
Yuan escaped, while Ying Wu Xie wandered around Central Continent,
resenting Fang Yuan for not saving Spectral Soul’s main body.

After Fairy Zi Wei provided enough evidence, Ying Wu Xie learned his main
body was no longer in Heavenly Court and had gotten free by himself.

Ying Wu Xie was exulted, he directly abandoned Fang Yuan and joined Fairy
Zi Wei’s group.

Through Ying Wu Xie, Fairy Zi Wei’s group learned that he had just recently
separated from Hei Lou Lan. Thus, the four immortals quietly arrived at this
place.

Ying Wu Xie said softly: “Hei Lou Lan is a formidable person, although her
cultivation is low and her battle strength is not high because future self has
lost its effect, she has great endurance and knows how to wait patiently, she
is ambitious and cannot be looked down upon.”
Ying Wu Xie did not doubt his side’s strength, but what he was most worried
was if Hei Lou Lan would side with them and betray Fang Yuan or not.

In this aspect, Fairy Zi Wei was confident, she said with a smile: “I have full
confidence in making Hei Lou Lan surrender. She has a complex relationship
with Fang Yuan, but it is not firm. Hei Lou Lan wants to kill her own father
for revenge, this is her greatest wish. Fang Yuan has captured Hei Cheng and
because his strength is higher than Hei Lou Lan’s, she has always been
controlled by him. We can use this to make her surrender.”

Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated.

Back then, Fairy Zi Wei tried all sorts of methods to deduce Fang Yuan’s
position, but could not do anything because Fang Yuan was slippery like an
eel and his most skilled wisdom path aspect was in blocking deductions.

Fairy Zi Wei could not do anything against Fang Yuan, but she investigated
everything about Fang Yuan’s subordinates. But at that time, even if she
wanted to use these indirect ways to find Fang Yuan’s location, they all
ended up in failure.

But now, Fairy Zi Wei was going against Hei Lou Lan. Those past failures
had now become her source of confidence.

Immediately, Fairy Zi Wei made arrangements: “This time, Ying Wu Xie, you
stay behind. Bai Ning Bing, you will approach Hei Lou Lan. You can say you
obtained news from Ying Wu Xie and came to visit. When you near her,
sneak attack and seal her in ice. After you get her under control, I will
persuade her.”

“How about I go with her?” Ying Wu Xie did not feel assured.

Bai Ning Bing glanced at him and flew away.

Ying Wu Xie quickly looked at Fairy Zi Wei, Fairy Zi Wei, however, shook
her head: “We will watch it from here.”
Bai Ning Bing flew across the sky like a flash of white light, she looked
down at the peak and shouted: “Hei Lou Lan, are you here?”

After a while, Hei Lou Lan came out from a mountain cave and frowned
slightly as she looked towards Bai Ning Bing: “Why are you here?”

Bai Ning Bing laughed and pointed at Hei Lou Lan: “I have joined Spectral
Soul now and have come to capture you. Hei Lou Lan, if you are smart, then
just let yourself be captured.”

Hei Lou Lan’s eyes opened wide: “Are you for real?”

At the base of the mountain, Ying Wu Xie almost stomped his foot in anger:
“I knew that Bai Ning Bing would spoil the matter. Her nature is eccentric
and she prioritizes fun. She did this on purpose, she definitely felt this way
would be more interesting!”

Sure enough, Bai Ning Bing’s laughter was heard: “Of course I am for real!”

Saying so, she turned into white light and charged at Hei Lou Lan.

Hei Lou Lan had already been preparing and with a shout, she raised her
hands and sent out a large amount of flames to counter the white light.

Bai Ning Bing was caught off-guard and was forced back to the sky.

But she looked even more excited: “Fire path method? You actually changed
to this path? Haha, interesting, I already wanted to fight you! But how long
can you block me for?”

Immortal killer move — Bai Xiang!

Bai Ning Bing directly activated her trump card method, her body was no
longer a flesh and blood body, and was covered in overflowing frost qi that
even shrouded the mountain peak.

Hei Lou Lan entered the mountain cave and Bai Ning Bing gave chase
without being afraid of any traps.
The two fought inside the cave, causing explosions that cracked and shattered
the mountain rocks.

After several exchanges, Hei Lou Lan fell into a disadvantage and her
situation did not look good.

Hei Lou Lan’s aptitude, temperament, and natural talents were at top level,
but her fortune was not good and she ran into Fang Yuan too early. Fang Yuan
dominated her and used Hei Cheng to control her, which greatly influenced
her cultivation.

Hei Lou Lan’s strength qi Immortal Gu, flying bear strength Immortal Gu, and
self strength Immortal Gu became Fang Yuan’s possessions. Slavery
Immortal Gu was also borrowed by Fang Yuan and consumed. Divert
disaster Immortal Gu was destroyed when she underwent tribulation.

During the period of the fate war, Hei Lou Lan almost always relied on the
killer move future self. Once the future self was broken, Hei Lou Lan
returned to her previous self.

Fang Yuan did not summon her back, Hei Lou Lan also held ambitions and
did not want to be controlled by Fang Yuan, so she actively searched for a
way to be free.

She possessed her aunts’ true inheritances, and after enough pondering, she
resolutely changed to cultivating Blazing Heaven Demoness’ fire path.

But unfortunately, before she had good progress, she was discovered by
Fairy Zi Wei and was now chased by Bai Ning Bing.

Hei Lou Lan felt bitter inside, she wanted to retreat but was chased closely
by Bai Ning Bing.

When she slowly lost the strength to attack and was about to be captured by
Bai Ning Bing, a white light flew over from the horizon.

This white light appeared slow but was extremely fast, Bai Ning Bing’s Bai
Xiang form actually could not dodge it and was struck.
In an instant, Bai Xiang froze in the air, no longer moving.

“Hei Lou Lan has reinforcements?!” Ying Wu Xie was shocked.

“Not reinforcements, this should be Longevity Heaven’s members.” Fairy Zi

Wei said with a smile.

Ying Wu Xie realized, Fairy Zi Wei had already taken Bai Ning Bing’s nature
into her calculations, her main goal had been to use Bai Ning Bing to trigger
Longevity Heaven’s ambush. The reason she did not send Ying Wu Xie was
in fact because she wanted to protect him, Ying Wu Xie was Spectral Soul’s
clone after all, he was truly one of them. And Bai Ning Bing, who possessed
Bai Xiang, was the perfect candidate to probe the ambush!

“This is a time path killer move, is it Fang Yuan?” Hei Lou Lan had a
complex expression as she looked towards the horizon through the gaps in the
cave.

Rank eight Immortal Gu House Calamity Luck Altar appeared in the horizons,
and in almost an instant, arrived at the center of the battlefield.

Calamity Luck Altar sent out a strong light that shone on the unmoving Bai
Ning Bing.

Although the killer move Bai Xiang was amazing, Calamity Luck Altar was a
rank eight Immortal Gu House that was personally created by Giant Sun
Immortal Venerable. If Bai Ning Bing was struck head-on, her death was
certain.

Fairy Zi Wei quickly made a move, sending out a purple aurora to cover Bai
Ning Bing while blocking Calamity Luck Altar’s powerful light.

“I was wondering who it was, so it turns out to be the leader of the defeated
Heavenly Court!” Bing Sai Chuan’s voice came from Calamity Luck Altar.

Fairy Zi Wei shook her head slightly and flew to the sky with Old Man Zheng
Yuan: “We have already joined Lord Spectral Soul, we are no longer in
Heavenly Court’s faction.”
Bing Sai Chuan sneered: “Like I care about which side you are on! Hei Lou
Lan is my Longevity Heaven’s descendant, she is a member of Northern
Plains. Don’t even dream of harming her!”

Fairy Zi Wei retorted: “The five regions have merged, all the regional walls
have disappeared, what do you mean by Northern Plains? We will need to
fight to decide where Hei Lou Lan goes.”

Bing Sai Chuan did not speak any nonsense, he directly controlled Calamity
Luck Altar to collide into Fairy Zi Wei.

A huge battle erupted!

Hei Lou Lan and Bai Ning Bing were put under control, unable to budge.

Hei Lou Lan’s face was ashen, she was fully aware that be it Heavenly Court
or Longevity Heaven, they were trying to use her to search for clues about
Fang Yuan!

This was the result of having low cultivation level, she had become an object
for the two sides to fight over. No one asked her if she was willing or not.

This battle did not last long, both sides were holding back.

It was Fairy Zi Wei who took the initiative to stop: “No need to fight
anymore, there is no harm in giving Hei Lou Lan to you.”

Bing Sai Chuan had Immortal Gu House Calamity Luck Altar while Fairy Zi
Wei was without Star Constellation Chessboard and was in a weakened
state. The reason she attacked was because she wanted to trigger a qi tide
and use it to claim victory.

But Bing Sai Chuan clearly knew of Fairy Zi Wei’s plan and made Calamity
Luck Altar use all its might. Fairy Zi Wei saw the battle turning increasingly
fierce and knew her side would have to use their full strength if they wanted
to hold on until the qi tide arrived, so she directly chose to stop.

“We have a common objective, it doesn’t matter where Hei Lou Lan ends up
in. Fang Yuan is at his weakest state currently, if we miss this rare chance
and let him recover, it will be too late. We can even work together, what do
you think, Bing Sai Chuan?” Fairy Zi Wei made a proposal.

Then, she showed evidence to prove her current faction.

“Who could have thought that there would be a day when we cooperate!”
Bing Sai Chuan was silent for a while before sighing.

Both sides had their own venerable as their backer and they both wanted to
kill Fang Yuan, they had the qualifications to cooperate as well as a common
goal, so working together was indeed a wise choice.
Chapter 2018: Impending Fatal Calamity
Chapter 2018 Impending Fatal Calamity Central Continent, deep beneath a
certain Earth Trench.Calamity Luck Altar was floating in the air, there were
tall cliffs on both sides, while below it was unfathomable darkness.

It was emitting soft light and did not conceal its aura, scaring away any beast
that tried to approach it.

At the middle of the cliff was a giant cave that was dug by Fairy Zi Wei and
the rest.

Purple light flickered in the cave and a wisdom path formation was already
set up, Fairy Zi Wei sat at the center and Old Man Zheng Yuan sat at the
assistant’s position, on one hand, he was using human path methods to
cooperate with Fairy Zi Wei, on the other hand, he was using a portion of the
immortal formation to guard against Bing Sai Chuan.

After all, it was the first time these two sides were collaborating, they had to
err on the side of caution.

There were several formation cores at the edges of the formation as well.
Bai Ning Bing, Hei Lou Lan, and Ying Wu Xie were sitting in these formation
cores as the crucial clues.

Purple light swayed, rising and falling at times like tides.

After a long while, Fairy Zi Wei opened her eyes slowly and stopped this
wisdom path immortal formation, the overflowing purple light dissipated
slowly.

“How is it?” Bing Sai Chuan’s question came from Calamity Luck Altar.

Fairy Zi Wei sighed and shook her head: “It is still not enough. But this
method is absolutely effective. These three have set alliance agreements with
Fang Yuan, their connections are extremely tight. As long as we capture even
more Gu Immortals, we can deduce Fang Yuan’s exact location.”
The large formation was dismantled and the Gu worms flew back to Fairy Zi
Wei’s immortal aperture.

Ying Wu Xie and the others stood up.

Bai Ning Bing smiled: “This is not difficult. During the fate war, Fang Yuan
had dispatched not only us but also a large number of transformation path Gu
Immortals.”

Hei Lou Lan added: “From what I know, these transformation path Gu
Immortals were incorporated after Fang Yuan annexed an immemorial grotto-
heaven. After the fate war, Fang Yuan disappeared without leaving behind
any traces, these people should still be scattered around Central Continent.”

Ying Wu Xie shook his head: “But these transformation path Gu Immortals
don’t have a close connection with Fang Yuan, it is better if we look for Lady
White Rabbit and Fairy Miao Yin, these two are crucial characters that are
only second to us.”

Fairy Zi Wei had stored all the Gu worms by now, she did not have formation
flag Gu or similar methods, it was rather time-consuming every time she
dismantled the formation.

She looked towards Calamity Luck Altar which had been guarding from the
side: “It is better if we split our forces to search for White Rabbit and Miao
Yin. If we encounter Fang Yuan’s transformation path Gu Immortal
subordinates along the way, we can make the decision to make a move at our
own discretion.”

Shortly after, Bing Sai Chuan’s response came from Calamity Luck Altar:
“Of course. For our following plans, we will need more communication
between us.”

Fairy Zi Wei nodded: “Indeed.”

Although the scale of this cooperation was small and duration was short, it
had huge significance and both sides had begun to trust each other.
Calamity Luck Altar picked up Hei Lou Lan while Bai Ning Bing and Ying
Wu Xie stayed with Fairy Zi Wei, both sides separated and departed on their
own.

Immemorial two heavens.

Crescent Moon grotto-heaven.

“Fairy Crescent Moon, you won’t surrender even if the alternative is death?”
Xiao He Jian, Lady Cold Ash and the rest were looking down from high
above, looking at the dying Gu Immortal in the ruins.

Fairy Crescent Moon had rank eight cultivation and was the owner of
Crescent Moon grotto-heaven. She had the terrain advantage but she was
completely outnumbered, she was only hanging on her last breath now.

She spat and said with hatred: “You bandits, my Crescent Moon grotto-
heaven has no conflicts with the outside world and has never provoked you
nor had any ambitious plans. I will never surrender to you!”

“Then die!” Lady Cold Ash was already impatient, she pointed her finger, a
grey light shot out and struck Fairy Crescent Moon.

Lady Cold Ash put her hand inside her sleeve, Fairy Crescent Moon’s soul
was carried by the grey light and brought to her.

“This is a rank eight Gu Immortal’s soul, devouring her soul will be much
more effective and also much easier to absorb.” Lady Cold Ash was Spectral
Soul, but he was able to conceal it from the whole of Wu Shuai’s alliance.

Xiao He Jian looked at her: “Lady Cold Ash, you battled in the front lines
and slaughtered countless enemies, collecting a vast number of mortal souls
and many Gu Immortal souls. Those are your battle spoils, but Lord Alliance
Leader specially asked for this rank eight soul. You cannot take it.”

Spectral Soul was slightly stunned before smiling and handing this rank eight
soul to Xiao He Jian: “Since our alliance leader wants it, why would I dare
to take it.”
Inside her heart, however, she was snorting coldly: “I shall hand this to you
for the time being, in the future, I will settle both our old and new grudges
together!”

Xiao He Jian nodded with approval and took Fairy Crescent Moon’s soul
while consoling Lady Cold Ash: “Let’s go, let the others clean up here.
Follow me to see the alliance leader and report the battle.”

“I can finally get close to Wu Shuai. This is a good chance!” Spectral Soul’s
mood lifted upon hearing that.

However, when the two arrived in Dragon Palace’s hall, they only saw Wu
Shuai’s will sitting on the main seat.

Wu Shuai’s will heard the report and praised: “Lady Cold Ash, you made the
most contributions in this invasion of Crescent Moon grotto-heaven, well
done.”

“It is our duty to work for alliance leader.” Lady Cold Ash was extremely
disappointed but showed a smile on her face.

“Alright, you can leave. When we hand out the rewards based on
contribution later, you will not be disappointed.” Wu Shuai’s will waved his
hand.

The two left Dragon Palace, Spectral Soul, however, felt discontent
inwardly: “It is really a pity that we were not able to see alliance leader.”

Xiao He Jian glanced at her, feeling some disdain towards Lady Cold Ash’s
conduct in trying to flatter the alliance leader when they were not even in
front of him: “How can Lord Alliance Leader be available whenever you
want? He has been in closed cultivation to resolve the danger of the qi
harvest fruits. We only need to follow his orders.”

“Yes.”

Xiao He Jian’s expression softened as he patted Lady Cold Ash’s shoulder:

“Work well and follow me, you will be able to play a key role in the alliance
one day!”

“Then I will depend on lord’s guidance.” Spectral Soul put up a performance

while internally scheming on when to capture Xiao He Jian!

“It is good that you understand.” Xiao He Jian smiled and walked forward.

He had joined the alliance because of Qi Jue’s true inheritance, as a lone

force, he was suppressed by Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch and others. But
Xiao He Jian’s strength surpassed ordinary rank eights, he was slowly
stabilizing his footing in the alliance and had won over some Gu Immortals
under him.

Lady Cold Ash’s performance had been extremely outstanding in the latest
battle and she had displayed extraordinary battle strength, so despite her
being a pure human, Xiao He Jian wanted to rope her in to his side.

On the other side.

“Granny Skeleton has arrived—!” The doorman shouted.

Granny Skeleton entered the hall and saw Qi Sea Ancestor on the main seat,
she quickly cupped her hands and bowed, getting straight to the point:
“Skeleton grotto-heaven is willing to come under Qi Sea Ancestor.”

Qi Sea Ancestor nodded: “Hahaha, Granny Skeleton, you are wise. You will
not regret joining my side.”

Granny Skeleton sighed and asked: “I wonder when Lord Ancestor can get
rid of the qi harvest fruit’s problem?”

“I have already made good progress in this, you can rest assured.” Fang Yuan
changed the topic, “Skeleton grotto-heaven is the nearest to Crescent Moon
grotto-heaven. Crescent Moon grotto-heaven has now already fallen to Wu
Shuai’s side, I am willing to send troops and station some Gu Immortals in
Skeleton grotto-heaven, I hope you can cooperate.”

Granny Skeleton sighed, although Fang Yuan did not show the ability to
resolve the danger of qi harvest fruits, due to the outside world’s condition,
Granny Skeleton could only lower her head and join him.

“With the current situation, there is really nothing else I can do. Currently,
there are almost no unaffiliated grotto-heavens left in the immemorial two
heavens. They have either joined Wu Shuai or have been recruited by Qi Sea
Ancestor. Sigh, I wonder what the future will be like.” Granny Skeleton did
not obtain the answer she wanted and left worriedly.

The pressure on Fang Yuan was also increasing.

“A wisdom path great expert was deducing about me just now, the strength is
also quite high! It seems like Fairy Zi Wei.”

Fairy Zi Wei was deducing the whereabouts of Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan
naturally sensed it. This was the same as a contest of the two’s wisdom path
methods across space.

“According to my luck, this situation is not looking good. The fatal calamity
is impending, danger is lurking everywhere, and there is only a trace of
hope.”

Fang Yuan’s Cooking Luck Pot might only be at rank seven, but he could
glance at a portion of his luck and deduce the entirety from it.

Fang Yuan had already made positive progress regarding the qi harvest fruits.
But he was still at his wits’ end on how to refine heaven path dao marks.

He was aware that this trace of hope fell on the heaven path dao marks. Only
be refining the heaven path dao marks and recovering his strength could he
get free from the incoming calamity. If he could not refine them or did not
refine them in time, it would be dangerous.

“But where is this breakthrough point that I seek?”

Chapter 2019: Rank Eight Hatred Gu
Chapter 2019 Rank Eight Hatred Gu Western Desert.The intense rank eight
level battle was still continuing.

Qing Chou roared, its tongue shot out with lightning speed.

Bam bam bam…

The blood red figures that surrounded Qing Chou were easily pierced and
destroyed by its tongue.

Every time the blood red figures exploded, Red Heart Traveler’s face would
turn a shade paler. His brows were furrowed and his teeth were clenched
shut, but his fighting spirit did not diminish as he used all his strength to
maintain the battlefield killer move.

“Red Heart Traveler won’t be able to hold on for long like this.” Nine
Spiritual Fairy, who was fighting Qing Chou, had been paying attention to
Red Heart Traveler’s condition.

They had tied down Qing Chou with a lot of difficulty, Red Heart Traveler
had used a battlefield killer move and was able to temporarily entrap this
legendary immemorial desolate beast.

However, Qing Chou had intelligence comparable to a human’s, after it

discovered it was unable to break free from this battlefield killer move, it
concentrated its attacks on Red Heart Traveler in order to break through.

Once Red Heart Traveler was unable to hold on, the battlefield would
dissipate and Qing Chou could walk out free. With this experience, it would
definitely be extremely vigilant and it would be almost impossible to capture
it again in a short period of time.

“Fine! I can only use that move.” Nine Spiritual Fairy gritted her teeth and
made a huge decision.
Immortal killer move — Nine Spiritual Transformations!

Her body suddenly shook as she transformed back to her human form. She
was a transformation path great expert and should be much stronger after
transformation to another form. But right now, even though she returned to her
human form, her aura was surging and she was even stronger than her
previous self. Nine spiritual lights shot out one after another from her
immortal aperture and formed an enormous nine-colored barrier of light, the
barrier had nine layers with distinct colors.

Qing Chou had been concentrating on Red Heart Traveler, so it felt a great
shock from Nine Spiritual Fairy’s sudden outburst and quickly split some of
its attacks towards her.

But at this stage, the killer move nine spiritual transformations was already
completed and had no flaws.

Nine Spiritual Fairy gave a clear roar, the nine-colored barrier shook and the
nine layers of light mixed together, becoming extremely dazzling.

The mixed light sphere then transformed into a rhinoceros with a large head
and small body, and was shining with various colors. It charged towards
Qing Chou.

Qing Chou roared and gave up on Red Heart Traveler for the moment, and
without dodging, it charged towards this rhinoceros.

With a loud explosion, the surroundings shook intensely.

After the two enormous monsters collided, it was actually Qing Chou who
had to take a small step back while the huge rhino only stopped in its spot.

Qing Chou was shocked and furious, it had not expected this rhino to be so
strong. As far as it was concerned, this multi-colored rhino was translucent
and it could even see Nine Spiritual Fairy who was in the center, there was
no feeling of it being a solid transformation. But the collision made Qing
Chou realize: this multi-colored rhino was stronger than the previous solid
transformations!
“Qing Chou fell into a disadvantage in the collision, this is the first time
since the battle started! Nine spiritual transformations is indeed worthy of
being a legendary transformation path killer move.” Red Heart Traveler was
happy and worried at this sight. The price of using nine spiritual
transformations was very high, after a Gu Immortal cultivates the killer move
nine spiritual transformations, they can only use it nine times in their life.

Nine Spiritual Fairy had chosen to expend one usage of such a valuable killer
move on Qing Chou, it showed her determined will!

Qing Chou roared, its bestial nature was agitated, it charged at Nine Spiritual
Fairy again.

But the multi-colored light sphere that Nine Spiritual Fairy was in changed
suddenly, from a large rhino to a southern fire sparrow.

The fire sparrow spread its wings and flew to the sky.

Qing Chou charged at empty space, without even looking up, it activated its
defensive methods.

Sure enough, at the next moment, Qing Chou heard the sharp cry of the fire
sparrow, then the sparrow collided onto its back. Whoosh, blazing flames
engulfed it.

Qing Chou’s hurriedly activated defensive methods only lasted for a few
breaths of time before they broke.

Qing Chou counterattacked fiercely, beast roars and bird cries mixed
together, the two sides were at a deadlock.

Red Heart Traveler finally had a brief respite and quickly used the time to
adjust his condition. While regulating his breath and observing the battle, he
started to feel worried.

“Qing Chou is too sturdy, although it is being suppressed and the battle tempo
is firmly held by Nine Spiritual Fairy, it has sufficient stamina.”
“On the contrary, Nine Spiritual Fairy might hold the upper hand and have
control over the battle, but she cannot last for long. If there is no external
help and this goes on, she will definitely run out of stamina and die.”

Red Heart Traveler decided to take a risk.

He accumulated his strength while waiting patiently. After waiting for two
hours, he finally saw a chance.

The chance was momentary, Red Heart Traveler immediately made his
move!

He spat out a mouthful of blood. The fragrant blood flew to the air and
started rotating. Like a miniature blood sun, it emitted endless blood red
light, rushing to Qing Chou.

Although Qing Chou was in a fierce battle with Nine Spiritual Fairy, it had
never let go of its vigilance against Red Heart Traveler.

However, when it used its killer move to block this tiny blood sphere, it was
of no use. The blood sphere seemed to be illusory, it passed through the
obstruction and struck Qing Chou’s chest, turning into a red sun insignia.

Qing Chou’s expression changed immediately, it could feel that its every
movement was being tied down by the red sun insignia.

This was an extremely powerful seal, it quickly showed its might, it slowed
down movement, interfered with killer moves, and lowered fighting spirit.

“Damn it, damn it!!!” Qing Chou roared and started attacking wildly.

Nine Spiritual Fairy used all her strength to hold Qing Chou back, but was
being beaten back little by little.

With a loud explosion, Qing Chou finally broke through Red Heart Traveler’s
battlefield killer move.

However, Red Heart Traveler had a smile of victory on his face.

Qing Chou’s whole body was bound by blood threads, the source of the
countless blood threads was the blood sun insignia at the center of its chest.

“Success. Cough cough cough!” Red Heart Traveler coughed out large
mouthfuls of blood, his face pale like paper.

Nine Spiritual Fairy quickly suppressed the increasingly slower Qing Chou
while transmitting her voice: “Red Heart, do you need my help?”

Red Heart Traveler shook his head slowly and used a killer move with
difficulty, healing his wounds while enduring the intense pain.

Nine Spiritual Fairy spent much effort before finally suppressing Qing Chou.

Looking at Qing Chou, who was bound by the blood threads like a mummy,
Nine Spiritual Fairy praised: “What method is this, it could actually capture
Qing Chou!”

Red Heart Traveler was barely able to reply: “This is a temporary move I
created, I have not named it yet.”

Nine Spiritual Fairy looked towards Red Heart, slightly widening her eyes:
“I am truly amazed!”

Red Heart Traveler shook his head, smiling bitterly: “Don’t overestimate me.
I detected that Qing Chou’s vital Gu was rank eight hatred Gu, so I made this
move. If it were other legendary immemorial beasts, this move would be a
joke. I could have the chance to use this move because you did not hesitate to
activate nine spiritual transformations.”

Nine Spiritual Fairy also shook her head: “Capturing Qing Chou concerns the
plan of capturing Fang Yuan, this is an important matter for Heavenly Court
and for the people of the world, how could I refuse to pay such a small price.
But is this hatred Gu the one recorded in u003cu003cThe Legends of Ren
Zuu003eu003e?”

“Yes.” Red Heart Traveler nodded.

Nine Spiritual Fairy sighed: “This explains why Qing Chou can distinguish
its enemies. Unfortunately, it did not have a killer move to make full use of it.
Now that we have captured it, we can take out the hatred Gu and use
Heavenly Court’s killer move to find the location of Fang Yuan, Spectral
Soul, and other demons!”

Red Heart Traveler restrained his aura: “Let’s go, we cannot stay here for
long.”

They had engaged in a fierce battle for a long while, although the battlefield
killer move saved a lot of time and also concealed most of the traces of
battle, there were bound to be Gu Immortals who would come to check this
place.

Not to mention other forces, Mo clan’s assembled troops might already be

rushing on their way.

Nine Spiritual Fairy and Red Heart Traveler had battled for a long while,
their conditions were not perfect. They detained Qing Chou and moved
towards Central Continent.

Sure enough, just a short while after they left, several Gu Immortals of Mo
clan arrived with surging momentum in an Immortal Gu House.

“There was a fierce battle here!”

“Although there are few traces, it can be seen that it was a rank eight level
fight.”

“No wonder my clan’s Gu Immortals perished so quickly.”

“Give chase, we have an Immortal Gu House with us, they won’t be able to
run far!”

Mo clan’s group followed the traces and chased the two Heavenly Court
immortals.

Several days went by again.

A sandstorm blew and a Gu Master was struggling to move in the desert.

He reached the center of the battlefield and saw the deep craters that were
mostly buried by the sandstorm. He raised his head and roared.

This person was Mo Li, who killed Peng Da and seized Thieving Heaven’s
true inheritance!

He went through all kinds of troubles to get here as soon as possible, thinking
of seeing the true appearance of the culprit that killed his wife and son, but he
was too late.

“I am going to find you and cut you to pieces!”

“No matter who you are or what monster you are, I will kill you!!”

Mo Li knelt on the desert and roared towards the sky.

Peng Da’s soul was floating beside him. Peng Da gave a cold laugh:
“Hehehe, you, a mere mortal, wants to take revenge against an immortal
beast?”

“So what if it is an immortal beast?” Mo Li’s eyes were red as he stared at

Peng Da’s soul, his expression was malevolent: “I have Thieving Heaven’s
true inheritance, I have Thieving Heaven’s true inheritance! I can definitely
become a Gu Immortal and succeed in taking revenge!”

Peng Da laughed again: “There is another possibility as well, this immortal

beast was already killed by the Gu Immortals. You have no target to take
revenge against already.”

Mo Li was stunned and was silent like a statue.

After a long while, he suddenly moved his hand and grabbed the throat of
Peng Da’s soul, he seemed to be in a state of insanity: “No! It won’t die, I
won’t allow it to die! It must die by my hands!!”

Mo Li continued to shout: “I will become a Gu Immortal, I have Thieving

Heaven’s true inheritance, I can definitely take revenge! I can definitely take
revenge! Tell me, tell me how to use the next Gu worm!”

While grabbing Peng Da’s soul, Mo Li activated his Gu worms, wisps of

white smoke and sizzling sounds came from the area where Mo Li’s hand
touched Peng Da.

Peng Da’s soul immediately let out a sharp screech from the unbearable pain:
“I will speak, I will speak, this is called electric circuit Gu.”

“Electric circuit Gu? What is this thing?”

Peng Da’s soul hesitated for a bit: “How can I explain this? You are not an
otherworldly demon, you won’t be able to understand what an electric circuit
is. Simply speaking, it is the path that electric currents move along.”

Mo Li sneered: “What is so hard to understand about it? It is not like I have

not read u003cu003cThe Legends of Ren Zuu003eu003e! u003cu003cThe
Legends of Ren Zuu003eu003e has recorded that lightning Gu chose to
cooperate with Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance to find a way out, they
eventually managed to leave immemorial blue heaven. This should be the
true meaning behind electric circuit[1]!”

Peng Da’s soul was stunned.

Mo Li kept on praising: “Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable is truly worthy

of being a venerable. He actually has such creative thoughts, he must have
obtained the inspiration from u003cu003cThe Legends of Ren
Zuu003eu003e, thus creating electric circuit Gu!”

Peng Da’s soul: “…”

[1] It can be read as ‘Lightning Path/Road’ which is how these Gu world

people interpret the Gu.
Chapter 2020: Rank Nine Lightning Gu
Forest Lightning grotto-heaven.

“Forest Lightning Grotto Lord, you betrayed the two heavens alliance and
actually colluded with Qi Sea Ancestor, this is an unforgivable sin and you
will be executed for it.” Xiao He Jian looked down from above.

Behind him were a large number of Gu Immortals from the two heavens
alliance. They were all standing silently and expressionlessly, showing the
numerical superiority.

On the contrary, Forest Lightning Grotto Lord was facing the enemies alone,
his strength paled in comparison.

Forest Lightning Grotto Lord gave a bitter smile: “Since you found out, I
don’t have anything to say. But do you think I am willing to collude with the
enemy? The alliance wants to experiment on the qi harvest fruit in my Forest
Lightning grotto-heaven. None of the alliance’s previous attempts have
succeeded and all the grotto-heavens they have tested on have detonated. I
sided with the two heavens alliance for self-protection. But now, you want to
sacrifice my home? Since that is the case, it is better to surrender to the
enemy, I might even have some new hope.”

Xiao He Jian frowned, snorting coldly: “You have no confidence in our two
heavens alliance and Lord Alliance Leader Wu Shuai. Perhaps this time will
succeed.”

Forest Lightning Grotto Lord chuckled: “If alliance leader Wu Shuai had a
fair disposition, I would have nothing to say. But he is clearly protecting
variant humans while sacrificing humans. The grotto-heavens the alliance has
experimented on are all human grotto-heavens. Wu Shuai is a dragonman
after all, I have seen through this alliance’s farce! Human Gu Immortals
present here, watch carefully, this will be your outcome in the future. After
me, it will be your turn.”
Hearing this, the human Gu Immortals clearly had a slight change in
expressions. Forest Lightning Grotto Lord had no doubt spoken of what they
were worried about.

Wu Shuai and Qi Sea Ancestor were the same person, they naturally had a
tacit agreement. They looked to be confronting each other on the surface, but
were secretly dividing the two heavens’ forces. By now, there were no
neutral grotto-heavens in the two heavens. The grotto-heavens in the two
heavens were either destroyed or had joined Wu Shuai or Qi Sea Ancestor.

After the two sides divided the two heavens, they ceased fighting and began
to find a way to solve the qi harvest fruit problem.

Compared to Qi Sea Ancestor who was researching in closed cultivation,

Wu Shuai’s qi path attainment was clearly much weaker. So, Wu Shuai’s two
heavens alliance had no choice but to experiment and be very rough with
their actions to pursue efficiency. The experiments to eliminate the qi harvest
fruits had failed many times and destroyed many grotto-heavens as a result.

When it was Forest Lightning grotto-heaven’s turn, Forest Lightning Grotto

Lord was not willing to bet his home, so for self-protection and survival, he
secretly contacted Qi Sea Ancestor.

He was truly an unfortunate guy, Qi Sea Ancestor and Wu Shuai were in

essence the same person.

Qi Sea Ancestor was Fang Yuan’s main body and he informed Wu Shuai
directly.

Wu Shuai thus sent the command to Xiao He Jian to gather some Gu

Immortals to punish the traitor.

Looking at Forest Lightning Grotto Lord, Xiao He Jian sneered silently and
said with impatience: “Who is going to get this criminal?”

Lady Cold Ash stepped forward like she wanted to be the vanguard: “Let
me.”
Xiao He Jian nodded: “Good.”

Lady Cold Ash directly charged towards Forest Lightning Grotto Lord, Xiao
He Jian was inwardly happy and thought: “Cold Ash is perceptive and has a
lot of capability. My efforts to win her over were not a waste.”

Lady Cold Ash fought with Forest Lightning Grotto Lord, both were at rank
eight and went at each other, neither yielding a step.

The other Gu Immortals of the two heavens alliance were watching the battle
from atop the clouds. In a fight between Gu Immortals, for a group attack to
work, they would have paid attention to cooperation. Different paths would
cause conflicts between dao marks, if there was no skillful cooperation, it
might instead waste their efforts.

Naturally, this did not hinder the observing Gu Immortals from accumulating
their energy and attacking when there was a chance.

But the two heavens alliance’s Gu Immortals did not find any opportunity to
sneak attack.

Lady Cold Ash gradually gained the upper hand and control of the battle.
Forest Lightning Grotto Lord saw the situation was bad and immediately
escaped below ground.

Lady Cold Ash was Spectral Soul’s disguise after all, how could Forest
Lightning Grotto Lord be her match? The deadlock earlier was only a
deception, it was nothing more than Spectral Soul’s act.

Xiao He Jian saw Forest Lightning Grotto Lord fleeing and laughed heartily:
“Chase!”

The immortals gave chase.

They did not care about the large Forest Lightning grotto-heaven and only
targeted Forest Lightning Grotto Lord. As long as they got rid of this sole
rank eight, other resistances would not be an issue.
They even took the initiative to maintain the safety of Forest Lightning grotto-
heaven, after all, this grotto-heaven needed to be tested on and they would
have a share in the distribution of the resources inside it.

Forest Lightning Grotto Lord kept on moving deep underground.

Lady Cold Ash did not give chase and stayed beside Xiao He Jian.

Soon, the first group of Gu Immortals who had entered deep underground
returned with soot covering them.

When he obtained their report, Xiao He Jian was slightly stunned: “There is
such a thing? There is a lightning forest deep underground?”

The returning Gu Immortals naturally brought evidence.

Through methods similar to shadow image Gu, the two heavens alliance’s
immortals saw a vast lightning forest.

In the pitch-black underground, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled every

moment.

The flashes of lightning formed a tall silver tree. The tall tree only lasted for
a moment, but it had large thunder leaves, many silver lightning branches and
so on, they were materialized and tempted all the immortals.

“Heaven, these are all priceless lightning path rank eight immortal
materials!”

“This is only the superficial wealth of the lightning forest. According to the
records in <<The Legends of Ren Zu>>, the source of lightning forest is
lightning Gu. The size of this lightning forest is enough to prove there is a
rank eight lightning Gu here!”

“Forest Lightning Grotto Lord wants to resist by relying on lightning Gu?”

“Hmph, wishful thinking. How could a mere rank eight Immortal Gu oppose
our two heavens alliance?”
The immortals discussed but no one was willing to enter the forest.

After all, the lightning forest was a dangerous area and Forest Lightning
Grotto Lord possessed an enormous terrain advantage here. If they rashly
invaded, it was very likely to be an unrewarding venture.

Xiao He Jian frowned: “Who will go capture Forest Lightning Grotto Lord?”

Lady Cold Ash stood up once again without hesitation.

Xiao He Jian showed a pleased smile: “Cold Ash, if you win, your
contribution will be at the top for this battle.”

“Thank you.” Lady Cold Ash was about to move.

“Wait.” Night Heavenly Wolf Lord also walked out: “The Lightning forest is
a dangerous region, let me accompany Cold Ash. If there is any unexpected
mishap, I can be of some assistance.”

“Let’s do it that way then.” Xiao He Jian agreed to Night Heavenly Wolf
Lord’s request.

Thereupon, the two immortals charged towards the depths of the

underground. Other Gu Immortals along with Xiao He Jian were floating in
the air, watching the battle as well as waiting patiently.

Lady Cold Ash charged to the bottom and arrived in front of the lightning
forest. She directly opened her immortal aperture and let out countless soul
beasts.

The soul beasts charged towards the lightning forest like a violent tide.

Rumble…

Lightning struck continuously and explosions resounded unendingly. There

were severe losses to the soul beasts, they used their lives to forcibly pave
open a path.
Lady Cold Ash and Night Heavenly Wolf Lord smoothly entered the depths of
the lightning forest.

“I didn’t think Lady Cold Ash would actually deal with the lightning forest
like this.”

“She is really resolved to suck up to Xiao He Jian regardless of the cost.”

“There have been many rumors recently about the alliance leader wanting to
make Xiao He Jian a vice alliance leader?”

“The alliance only has one vice alliance leader, Ice Crystal Immortal
Monarch, currently. It is not strange for Lord Wu Shuai to make this
arrangement to keep the balance between his subordinates.”

“Lady Cold Ash might be a human Gu Immortal but she doesn’t want to have
the same outcome as Forest Lightning Grotto Lord’s. So she wholeheartedly
wants to climb ranks in the alliance, she is doing her best to protect her
grotto-heaven.”

Gu Immortals observed the battle while conversing secretly.

After a while of effort, Lady Cold Ash and Night Heavenly Wolf Lord fought
their way to the center of the lightning forest and saw Forest Lightning Grotto
Lord once again.

Forest Lightning Grotto Lord was refining rank eight lightning Gu and quickly
stopped the refinement when he saw the two immortals. He shouted in anger:
“Stop! If you take one more stop, I will destroy this lightning Gu!”

The immortals were surprised.

“So this lightning Gu is still a wild Immortal Gu and Forest Lightning Grotto
Lord has not actually refined it?”

“What is going on?”

“Haha, I understand! Forest Lightning Grotto Lord’s ambition is not small.”

“Oh, please explain.”

“If I am not wrong, this lightning forest should have been just an ordinary
lightning path resource point at the start. But at a certain point, it gave birth to
a wild lightning Gu. Because of this lightning Gu, the lightning path resource
point gradually transformed into a small lightning forest. Forest Lightning
Grotto Lord did not refine this wild lightning Gu, instead he added resources
to grow this lightning forest. The larger the scale of the lightning forest, the
lightning Gu, which is the source, will also keep on advancing further. Forest
Lightning Grotto Lord kept on investing resources and finally advanced this
wild lightning Gu to rank eight!”

The two heavens alliance’s Gu Immortals saw through the ambitions of

Forest Lightning Grotto Lord.

Forest Lightning Grotto Lord was a lightning path Gu Immortal and was not
proficient in refinement path. But this lightning forest was created naturally, it
was simply nature refining Gu itself!

Forest Lightning Grotto Lord cleverly borrowed the power of nature and
added momentum to the original foundation, his goal was to advance
lightning Gu to rank nine level!

And during this process, if he refined this wild Immortal Gu, the process of
nature refining Gu would be interrupted and could not be recovered.

Thus, Forest Lightning Grotto Lord had left this wild lightning Gu in its state
and did not refine it.

It was extremely difficult to seize other’s Gu worms. But wild Immortal Gu

were different.

A rank eight wild Immortal Gu, the crucial thing was that it even had the
possibility of advancing to rank nine! This discovery was extremely huge,
Xiao He Jian and the rest opened their eyes wide, revealing greed and
wariness.
“This is of vital importance, we cannot be rash.” Xiao He Jian quickly
transmitted his voice to Lady Cold Ash and Night Heavenly Wolf Lord.

Lady Cold Ash and Night Heavenly Wolf Lord paused their attacks.

Forest Lightning Grotto Lord spoke conditions: “As long as you spare me and
my Forest Lightning grotto-heaven, I will offer this lightning Gu to you.”

Xiao He Jian quickly contacted Wu Shuai and reported this matter.

The matter concerned a future rank nine lightning Gu, Xiao He Jian did not
dare to decide by himself.
Chapter 2021: Blue Heaven Shatters
Soon, Xiao He Jian received the reply. He personally flew underground and
faced Forest Lightning Grotto Lord: “Alliance Leader has said that he can let
you go, but Forest Lightning grotto-heaven must belong to the alliance. Of
course, the alliance will not carry out any risky attempts on the qi harvest
fruit in the grotto-heaven.”

“No!” Forest Lightning Grotto Lord’s attitude was extremely firm: “This
grotto-heaven is my home, I will not give it up! It won’t change owners, this
is my territory, what qualifications does the alliance have to seize it? I will
look after the lightning Gu for the moment, retreat and don’t try to invade
again from now on. I can set an agreement with the alliance to never seek
lightning Gu. If the alliance wants rank nine lightning Gu, you can provide the
resources to raise it in the lightning forest here.”

Xiao He Jian did not respond and only reported Forest Lightning Grotto
Lord’s request to Wu Shuai.

Wu Shuai mumbled for a while, unable to come to a decision.

He then sent this information to the main body through secret methods and let
the main body decide.

Fang Yuan fell into deep thought.

“Rank nine Immortal Gu have supreme might, it is indeed worth yielding a

step. But this lightning Gu is only rank eight currently. To raise it to rank nine,
who knows how many resources and how big of a price we have to pay. And
there could be many unexpected mishaps during this process!”

“Another crucial point is that lightning Gu’s information cannot be concealed,

this news will definitely lead to chaos. Be they Heavenly Court, Longevity
Heaven, or other forces, they will all interfere. Wu Shuai’s and Qi Sea
Ancestor’s forces must have an all-out battle in the end.”
Fang Yuan’s wisdom path attainment was deep and immediately deduced the
future changes.

Forest Lightning Grotto Lord concealed the secret of lightning Gu because he

wanted to keep it for himself. But now that he could not keep it, he could only
use this chip to negotiate.

Since he could secretly contact the enemy, he would not just negotiate with
Wu Shuai’s alliance, he was sure to contact Qi Sea Ancestor.

Fang Yuan’s Qi Sea Ancestor disguise protected humanity and had allied
with Heavenly Court, he could never let a variant human force like Wu
Shuai’s alliance obtain rank nine lightning Gu!

Thus, Qi Sea Ancestor would have to send troops.

At that time, Forest Lightning Grotto Lord would surely curry favor with both
sides and strive to win some respite. This Forest Lightning Grotto Lord truly
had high astuteness and was deeply aware of the way of survival of the
weak.

But like this, it was bound to increase the friction between Qi Sea Ancestor
and Wu Shuai. This was exactly what Fang Yuan had been trying to avoid.

And at that time, Heavenly Court would definitely add fuel to the fire, even
Longevity Heaven, Demon Immortal Qi Jue, and the five regions’ forces
would stir up the situation from the dark.

Although Fang Yuan was the leader of both sides, he was unable to restrict
every subordinate. In the fight between these subordinates, if anyone died,
Wu Shuai and Qi Sea Ancestor would need to take some action to preserve
their side’s benefit and prestige. The situation would escalate and continue
being irremediable until it finally leads to an all-out battle.

But if Fang Yuan suppressed the situation, this would not fit the attitudes of
Wu Shuai and Qi Sea Ancestor. It would definitely be filled with giant
loopholes in the eyes of wisdom path Gu Immortals. Heavenly Court would
start to have doubts and the whole situation would turn even more dangerous.
Thus, this situation was not as simple as just a lightning Gu.

This would implicate many things, it would involve variant humans, humans,
and even the overall situation of the two heavens and five regions!

Fang Yuan was unable to come to a decision immediately for such a huge
matter.

After all, he had to think of many factors, the important thing was that his
current strength had fallen. He was at his weakest state and now was the time
when he needed to rest and recuperate.

“I remember lightning Gu is recorded in <<The Legends of Ren Zu>>, the

power it showed was quite strong…”

Fang Yuan browsed through <<The Legends of Ren Zu>>.

<<The Legends of Ren Zu>>, chapter four, section thirty —

Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance and Myriad Gold Wondrous Essence

were sent flying away by fate Gu and were forced to leave Ren Zu, arriving
at immemorial blue heaven.

Rumble!

Thunder rumbled unceasingly here. Lightning flashed, imprinting the sky and
forming a forest of lightning.

“I am angry! I am angry!” The source of this lightning forest was a lightning

Gu, it was roaring continuously.

Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance and Myriad Gold Wondrous Essence

were extremely afraid. The lightning was too strong, so long as a lightning
bolt struck them, they would be heavily injured or even die.

They did not move at all, afraid of lightning Gu discovering them and
bombarding them to death.
They waited patiently for lightning Gu’s anger to dissipate. They would move
once it calmed down.

But lightning Gu was extremely angry and its anger did not show any signs of
decreasing. The lightning forest kept on growing in size.

“What should we do?” Myriad Gold Wondrous Essence was worried: “How
can we return to father? Brother, do you have any good suggestions?”

Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance shook his head, his brows furrowed: “It
is all fate Gu’s fault! It forcefully separated us from father, I am definitely
going to take revenge in the future. Argh, my heart hurts every time I think of
fate Gu.”

Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance held his chest, he found his heart aching
more and more.

How could this be?

He quickly opened up his chest and looked at the depths of his heart.

“Oh, why is there a Gu in my heart?” Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance was

astonished: “It is no wonder my heart is in constant pain, this Gu was biting
on my heart.”

Myriad Gold Wondrous Essence also saw this Gu worm: “Isn’t this love Gu?
I heard father mentioning it before.”

“No, I am hatred Gu.” The Gu worm spoke: “Although I look similar to love
Gu on the surface.”

Myriad Gold Wondrous Essence urged: “Hatred Gu, why are you gnawing on
my brother’s heart, please stop quickly.”

But hatred Gu said: “I won’t! I am building my home here, I am changing

your brother’s heart into a heart of hatred.”

Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance was furious: “Who allowed you to build
your home in my heart? Get out quickly, I don’t welcome you. If you don’t get
out, I will crush you to death!”

Hatred Gu laughed loudly: “I was attracted by lightning Gu’s anger, but

unexpectedly discovered that your heart is more suitable for my home. I
won’t leave.”

Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance was furious, he actually put his hand
inside his heart and grabbed hatred Gu.

Hatred Gu was like a curved blade without a handle, Blazing Glory Lightning
Brilliance’s hand was pierced and bled as he grabbed it.

He clenched his teeth and exerted strength, crushing hatred Gu to death.

But at the next moment, hatred Gu resurrected from the blood and became
even bigger.

Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance crushed it to death again, hatred Gu

revived once again, its size becoming slightly bigger again.

“It is useless.” Hatred Gu said: “Hatred cannot be killed, vengeance only

breeds more hatred and grudges, the more you treat me like this, the more
your hatred will increase.”

Myriad Gold Wondrous Essence was somewhat stunned and helpless against
hatred Gu.

“It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!” Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance covered his
chest, his face pale from the pain.

Hatred Gu was drilling in and out of his heart, creating holes after holes,
transforming his heart into a heart of hatred.

The current Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance hated fate Gu even more.

“If I was not sent flying here by fate Gu, how could I have encountered hatred
Gu? How could my heart be pierced by hatred Gu?”

“I will definitely destroy fate Gu, I will definitely take revenge.”

The more Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance thought, the more he hated. He
was no longer afraid of angering lightning Gu, he stood up suddenly.

“Sister, let’s go, I don’t want to stay here.” Blazing Glory Lightning
Brilliance held Myriad Gold Wondrous Essence’s hand.

But Myriad Gold Wondrous Essence hesitated: “Brother, there is lightning all
around us, we don’t know when it will strike, it is too dangerous.”

Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance said: “Sister, don’t be afraid. The hatred
in my heart has shown me a path, that is the path of revenge. There is no
lightning on this path, as long as I follow it, I can find fate Gu and take
revenge against it. Quick, follow me!”

Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance dragged Myriad Gold Wondrous Essence.

The strange thing was that despite lightning bolts crackling around them, not a
single one struck Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance and Myriad Gold
Wondrous Essence.

The two ran and ran when they suddenly collided into something.

“What is ahead?” Myriad Gold Wondrous Essence touched the air in front of
her and found it was like a transparent wall.

“This is the heavenly wind qi wall, the border of the immemorial nine
heavens.” Hatred Gu explained.

“Brother, there is a wall ahead, we cannot leave.” Myriad Gold Wondrous

Essence said helplessly.

But Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance had a different perspective: “Where

is the wall? I only see the path ahead, as long as we follow along this trail,
we can definitely leave and find fate Gu!”

Time and again, Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance got up and rushed
forward before colliding into the heavenly wind qi wall, his head bled as he
fell to the ground. Then, he climbed up and charged forward again.
Myriad Gold Wondrous Essence wanted to stop him, but Blazing Glory
Lightning Brilliance did not listen.

Hatred Gu laughed: “It is useless. I have already built my home in his heart,
although his eyes are open, he can only see the path that I point towards, he
cannot see any other thing. Hahaha.”

Right at this time, lightning Gu sensed Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance and
Myriad Gold Wondrous Essence, the terrifying lightning forest began to
quickly spread towards them.

There was no road to advance or retreat, Myriad Gold Wondrous Essence

was extremely anxious but did not have any ideas: “It would have been great
if we still had wealth Gu!”

Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance did not listen to her, he continued to

collide into the heavenly wind qi wall. Blood filled the ground.

Lightning Gu finally reached closer, Myriad Gold Wondrous Essence cried:

“Am I going to die here?”

But Lightning Gu restrained its power and approached slowly, it let out a
rumbling sound: “Don’t worry, oh humans, I won’t harm you or injure you.
On the contrary, I want your help.”

Myriad Gold Wondrous Essence stopped crying and asked curiously:

“Lightning Gu, you are so strong, how can we possibly help you?”

Lightning Gu: “I have been trapped here all along, immemorial blue heaven
is large but I am already sick of it. I want to go out but I am unable to find a
path that leads to the outside, thus I am angry. Anger often leads to hatred, so
hatred Gu was attracted here.”

“But from your brother, I can see the path to exit. Therefore, humans, let us
cooperate. I will help you break the heavenly wind qi wall and you will
bring me out of here, alright?” Lightning Gu proposed.
Myriad Gold Wondrous Essence and Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance
were very happy at this suggestion.

“I agree to it. Your help will be great.” Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance
replied.

Thereupon, lightning Gu landed on Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance’s hand

and started to emit a terrifying radiance.

Hatred Gu laughed loudly: “Let me lend you a hand.”

Lightning Gu obtained hatred Gu’s strength and became extremely powerful.

Rumble rumble…

Lightning Gu erupted with fierce strength, not only destroying the heavenly
wind qi wall but even shattering the whole of immemorial blue heaven!

“Quickly leave!” Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance was greatly shocked

and knew that they had created a huge disaster, he quickly grabbed his sister
and left with lightning Gu and hatred Gu.
Chapter 2022: Heavenly Court Seeks To Figh
“According to <<The Legends of Ren Zu>>, hatred Gu and lightning Gu can
cooperate and amplify each other’s power to form a terrifying killer move
that directly destroyed immemorial blue heaven?”

Fang Yuan read it carefully again as he wondered, did this mean that these
two Gu worms could counter heaven path?

Where were heaven path dao marks most gathered in?

Undoubtedly, the immemorial nine heavens.

Besides them, there was Fang Yuan’s body.

“This seems to be an avenue to resolve my current predicament.” Fang Yuan

pondered: “But only lightning Gu is here, it won’t work without hatred Gu.
Where is this Gu worm? Is there currently such an Immortal Gu in existence?
If not, how do I refine it? If it exists, the situation is even more troublesome
as I will need to scheme and plan to seize it.”

“In fact, even if I have these two core Immortal Gu, it is still a mystery on
how to form them into that killer move. <<The Legends of Ren Zu>> is too
vague about it.”

Just at this time, Qin Ding Ling personally sent a letter through treasure
yellow heaven.

Fang Yuan opened and read it, the letter Gu directly talked about Forest
Lightning grotto-heaven’s matter. Qin Ding Ling was very eager about
lightning Gu, and even wanted Qi Sea Ancestor to stop researching the qi
harvest fruits for the time being and lead his subordinates to cooperate with
Heavenly Court in fighting for lightning Gu.

“Why is Heavenly Court so anxious?” Fang Yuan’s eyes shined with bright
light: “Also, they obtained the information too quickly. Looks like they have
arranged some spies on Wu Shuai’s side.”
Qin Ding Ling was not Fairy Zi Wei after all, she was slightly hurried in
doing things, which allowed Fang Yuan, who had deep wisdom path
attainment to deduce some possibilities.

“Since that is the case…” Fang Yuan smiled bitterly, Heavenly Court’s urgent
letter made him come to a decision.

Forest Lightning grotto-heaven.

Xiao He Jian’s expression changed slightly, he had received Wu Shuai’s

command.

His gaze turned cold as he shouted: “Alliance Leader sent the command to
kill Forest Lightning Grotto Lord without worrying about lightning Gu. It is
nothing to lose a mere rank eight Immortal Gu. We must execute all the Gu
Immortals of Forest Lightning grotto-heaven and then attempt to get rid of the
qi harvest fruit. Don’t worry about the grotto-heaven’s resources, use all your
strength to complete the task in the shortest time possible!”

“What?!” Hearing these words, not only Forest Lightning Grotto Lord, even
Lady Cold Ash and Night Heavenly Wolf Lord were astonished.

This was a future rank nine Immortal Gu, Wu Shuai gave up on it so

resolutely?

For an instant, none of the three immortals made a move due to the shock.

Night Heavenly Wolf Lord was Heavenly Court’s mole, he naturally thought
of helping to preserve Forest Lightning Grotto Lord to harm Wu Shuai’s
alliance.

And Lady Cold Ash was basically Spectral Soul, he also thought of
preserving this point of conflict that would incite a fierce battle between Wu
Shuai and Qi Sea Ancestor. As long as there was chaos, he could gain many
chances to act.

Forest Lightning Grotto Lord suddenly shouted: “Xiao He Jian, such

audacity, you actually gave a false command. Wu Shuai is expanding his
strength, how can he give up on the future rank nine Immortal Gu? As
someone who joined recently, you truly have ill intentions!”

Xiao He Jian’s expression turned cold from Forest Lightning Grotto Lord’s
incrimination.

He did not retort, instead glaring at Lady Cold Ash and Night Heavenly Wolf
Lord: “This is our alliance leader’s command! Are you going to believe a
traitor or me? Attack!”

Saying so, Xiao He Jian did not wait for the two and charged in by himself.

Bam bam bam…

Killer moves were let out, destroying a large portion of the lightning forest.

“Charge!” The alliance immortals who were above ground also received
Xiao He Jian’s order and came over, besieging this lightning forest.

Since the situation became like this, Lady Cold Ash and Night Heavenly Wolf
Lord could not care about their own schemes, they sighed and joined the
group in attacking.

“Wu Shuai, you are really cruel! You are so narrow-minded, you will
definitely die miserably!” Forest Lightning Grotto Lord knew he was going to
die and let out a vicious curse while exerting strength to destroy lightning Gu.

“In your dreams.” At the next moment, Lady Cold Ash suddenly appeared
behind him.

Forest Lightning Grotto Lord stiffened, Lady Cold Ash took the chance and
actually seized lightning Gu from his hands!

“What method is this?” The immortals were astonished.

Although Spectral Soul’s attainment levels had fallen to a miserable level, he

still had plenty of methods. The accumulation of a venerable could not be
estimated by ordinary rank eight Gu Immortals.
“Great job!” Xiao He Jian was exulted. He had held no hope in taking
lightning Gu, but who could have thought it would truly be seized. This was
Lady Cold Ash’s merit and his as well. By now, his vice alliance leader
position was already half confirmed. The remaining half would be by
completing the task given by Wu Shuai!

Forest Lightning Grotto Lord counterattacked madly.

To preserve lightning Gu, Lady Cold Ash had forcibly endured his attacks
and got injured.

“Retreat and guard lightning Gu!” Xiao He Jian quickly came to help, he
blocked Forest Lightning Grotto Lord for Lady Cold Ash.

To prevent interference, other immortals began to plunder resources while

watching Xiao He Jian fight Forest Lightning Grotto Lord alone.

Forest Lightning Grotto Lord had already fought with Lady Cold Ash before,
his condition was not optimal and almost all of his methods were exposed.

Based on the superficial strength shown, Xiao He Jian was stronger than
Lady Cold Ash as well.

This battle held no suspense, and soon, Xiao He Jian defeated Forest
Lightning Grotto Lord.

Forest Lightning Grotto Lord was not resigned to being defeated and was
still thinking of escaping.

But the surrounding Gu Immortals had been observing the battle and
encircled Forest Lightning Grotto Lord with no way for him to flee.

Forest Lightning Grotto Lord was beheaded and Forest Lightning grotto-
heaven was destroyed. The alliance’s experiment on the qi harvest fruit
failed this time as well.

Moreover, because Wu Shuai asked for the battle to be finished as quickly as

possible, most of the resources in Forest Lightning grotto-heaven were
destroyed. The participating Gu Immortals could only collect very few
resources.

The greatest gain was that wild rank eight lightning Gu. But it was clear this
was going to be handed to Alliance Leader Wu Shuai.

Fang Yuan thought for a good while before finally deciding to deal with the
problem directly, getting rid of Forest Lightning grotto-heaven so that the
conflict could not grow.

Wu Shuai’s fast decision not only astonished the alliance members, it even
destroyed Heavenly Court’s plan.

Qin Ding Ling had obtained first hand information from Night Heavenly Wolf
Lord and immediately contacted Qi Sea Ancestor.

Fang Yuan received the letter; in the letter, Qin Ding Ling was still insisting
on seizing lightning Gu even though it had already fallen into Wu Shuai’s
hands. Even if they could not seize lightning Gu, they had to destroy it!

“Looks like Heavenly Court is determined to get lightning Gu. Heavenly

Court should have lightning Gu’s Immortal Gu recipe, they can refine it
themselves if this Gu is destroyed.”

Fang Yuan was even more curious, why was Heavenly Court so anxious to
get lightning Gu? Why did such the powerful Heavenly Court have such
pressing needs for this Immortal Gu? Lightning Gu was not fate Gu after all!

Fang Yuan did not understand Heavenly Court’s scheme, but Qin Ding Ling’s
attitude made Fang Yuan’s previous plan fall through.

Fang Yuan made Wu Shuai destroy Forest Lightning grotto-heaven without

any regards for the safety of lightning Gu to strangle the possible conflict to
death and prevent a war between the two sides.

But Heavenly Court held an attitude akin to asking for battle, Fang Yuan also
could not refuse it easily.

After all, Qi Sea Ancestor was allied with Heavenly Court.

How should he deal with this?
Chapter 2023: Inviting Qi Sea
2023 Inviting Qi Sea Profound Literature grotto-heaven.

Capital city, Su clan.

There was a book house erected inside a certain guest room’s courtyard.

This book house was a mortal Gu House, it had the form of a tree house,
covered with green leaves and branches.

Right now, Li Xiao Bai was sitting cross-legged inside the book house.

A beautiful girl was standing in front of him, she was Su Qi Han. Su Qi

Han’s expression was somewhat serious: “Xiao Bai, have you really thought
it through? A vital Gu cannot be changed easily.”

Li Xiao Bai nodded with a smile: “Qi Han, don’t be too worried. I have
thought it through properly, I am most interested in composing poems. So to
me, poetry Gu is the most suitable vital Gu. It was just that I was not
qualified to change my vital Gu before. But since this book house has
extraordinary might and has the function of assisting me in changing vital Gu,
how can I let go of such a chance?”

Su Qi Han sighed: “Since you have decided, I won’t urge you anymore. I will
guard you from outside.”

“Mm.” Li Xiao Bai did not stand on ceremony, directly closing his eyes.

After he obtained this Book House inheritance, he returned to the capital city
and reunited with Su Qi Han. Although he lost in the poetry competition, he
had already proven himself. Su Qi Han invited him to stay temporarily in Su
clan, no one opposed to it, instead, this became a beautiful story.

Li Xiao Bai was not stingy, after staying in Su clan, he shared this Book
House inheritance with Su Qi Han. The two spent almost every day in the
book house, continuously cultivating, researching, and communicating
intimately with each other.

Although the two had undergone intimate activities because of a coincidence,

they did not have close feelings for each other. Su Qi Han’s previous actions
came from her own high moral character.

But over these days of contact, Su Qi Han increasingly appreciated Li Xiao

Bai’s talents and started to feel an attraction to him.

Li Xiao Bai obtained this fortuitous encounter but did not conceal it from Su
Qi Han and shared it with her. From this, Su Qi Han saw that Li Xiao Bai’s
character was pure and kind, willing to give her anything, he was definitely
not a heartless scholar.

Although the two had not been officially engaged, Su Qi Han had already
treated Li Xiao Bai as her sole lifelong partner.

Su Qi Han walked out of the book house with worry: “This book house has
high value and contains many branches of information path like verses,
ditties, odes and songs. However, these branches are limited to Gu Master
cultivation and there are no ways to advance to Gu Immortal. I have already
hinted Xiao Bai many times that as long as he marries into and lives in my Su
clan, he can obtain Su clan’s Calligraphy Immortal cultivation technique.
Unfortunately, he has no interest in calligraphy and is wholeheartedly focused
on poems. Oh, since he likes it, I have no way to persuade him otherwise. If
he accomplishes nothing in the future and stays as a Gu Master, I will work
hard to become a Gu Immortal and an official of the Imperial Court. I will
protect and take care of him for the rest of my life. I will watch him compose
and recite poems, as long as he is happy, I am also happy.”

Profound Literature grotto-heaven had an Imperial Court.

The high ranking officials of the Imperial Court were all Gu Immortals. Su Qi
Han was Su clan’s most beloved daughter and the apple of their eye, her
aptitude and talents were astonishing as well, so it was natural for her to
come in contact with Su clan’s immortal cultivation technique.
“Young miss, you should take a rest, you will be tired if you keep on
standing. With us here, Great Scholar Li’s safety is guaranteed.” The guards
and the maids urged Su Qi Han.

Su Qi Han shook her head: “Stand guard outside the courtyard. I will
personally guard him here.”

The book house started shaking, gentle light spread from the inside to the
outside through the windows.

A few minutes later, the book house turned silent, the leaves and the branches
were no longer shaking.

Inside the book house, Li Xiao Bai opened his eyes slowly.

The process of changing vital Gu went smoothly, Li Xiao Bai looked inside
his aperture and saw a Gu worm that looked like a heart; it had a red jade-
like texture and was covered by a layer of light gold radiance.

It was his new vital Gu, rank five Gu worm — Poetry.

Poetry Gu was classified in information path and belonged to a side-branch

of information path cultivation. The most common form of information path
cultivation were oaths and vows, like sea oath Gu, mountain pledge Gu,
promise Gu, black and white paper Gu. Second was transmitting information
like goose Gu, paper crane Gu, butterfly letter Gu, flying sword letter Gu,
messenger dove Gu, and so on. Thirdly was watching, listening, reading, and
writing, for example, water text Gu belonged to the writing category. Beast
language Gu was related to reading and speaking.

Verses, ditties, odes, songs, and so on were simply not mainstream.

Li Xiao Bai had made such a decision, it was no wonder Su Qi Han was
worried about his future prospects.

But she did not know Li Xiao Bai’s true intention.

“This grotto-heaven’s environment is special as it is under the effect of the

killer move, assisting literary talents. As long as I create great poems, I can
obtain rewards and advance quickly. The five regions chaotic war is drawing
close, such a way that can quickly increase one’s strength with no side-effect
is priceless. Although Su Qi Han can get in contact with Gu Immortal
cultivation methods, she does not know the outside world’s situation.”

“I have changed my vital gu to poetry Gu, next, I will practice poetic Gu and
emotion poetry Gu, use gather poem Gu to gather poems externally and
advance poem wall Gu. Additionally, I should also practice poem boundary
Gu, this is an extremely outstanding Gu worm which effect is similar to a
battlefield killer move.”

Just as Li Xiao Bai was thinking, the door was opened slowly and Su Qi Han
entered with a concerned look.

“Xiao Bai.” Su Qi Han spoke softly.

Li Xiao Bai gave a light smile and nodded towards her: “Everything went
smoothly.”

Su Qi Han smiled, her beautiful watery eyes revealed delicate concern:

“That’s good.”

Boom—!

Suddenly, the sky shook and an explosion resounded throughout the grotto
heaven.

“What’s going on?” Li Xiao Bai and Su Qi Han were alarmed and rushed out
of the room, they looked at the sky but it was clear and blue. A gust of wind
blew past them.

The wind only lasted for a very short period of time, and after it passed by,
there was no other abnormality.

The mortals, Gu Masters, and even Gu Immortals living in the capital city
sensed this suddenly appearing and disappearing abnormality. Most of the
people were baffled, but a few Gu Immortal officials who knew the inside
details were joyous.
“Success!” In a certain area of Profound Literature grotto-heaven, Old
Immortal Hua Yu bowed deeply towards Qi Sea Ancestor in excitement:
“Congratulations to Ancestor for successfully handling the qi harvest fruit
calamity. Ancestor has saved the whole of Profound Literature grotto-heaven,
this favor is the same as giving us new life! From now on, if you have any
orders for me, I will undoubtedly use all my strength without question!”

Qi Sea Ancestor laughed heartily, lifting Old Immortal Hua Yu up: “No need
to be so courteous.”

The immortals standing at the side were extremely happy.

“Ancestor has divine might!”

“Wu Shuai’s side tested repeatedly and destroyed so many grotto-heavens.

Ancestor tried for the first time and succeeded, Wu Shuai can never match
you.”

“I wonder when Ancestor can resolve our qi harvest fruit problem?”

“Yes, our grotto-heavens’ qi harvest fruits have already become extremely

large and are getting closer to self-detonation.”

Gu Immortals praised loudly while also urging Fang Yuan to continue his
work.

Fang Yuan waved his hand: “This test was a success but I sensed some flaws
in it. I need to be in closed cultivation for three days to solve this issue. At
that time, I will clear up the danger for everyone, wouldn’t that be even
better?”

The immortals were exulted: “We shall listen to Ancestor’s arrangements!”

Fang Yuan smiled, a sharp light flashing across his eyes.

Heavenly Court.

Soon, Qin Ding Ling received this news and immediately showed joy:
“Good, good! My choice to cooperate with Qi Sea Ancestor was indeed
correct.”

Qi Sea Ancestor did not let down their expectations, not only creating a
method to resolve the qi harvest fruit problem, but even succeeding after
using it once. According to the information, Profound Literature grotto-
heaven’s qi harvest fruit was not only safely removed, the fruit also burst and
formed a harmless qi tide that swept past the whole grotto-heaven and raised
the grotto-heaven’s foundation by a good amount.

Qin Ding Ling was in a great mood.

Over this period of time, Heavenly Court had already walked out of the
shadow of defeat in the fate war. With Qin Ding Ling and the other Heavenly
Court immortals’ schemes and efforts, good news came one after another.

Firstly, the variant human forces were restrained, secondly, Qing Chou was
captured, and now, the qi harvest fruit’s danger was eliminated.

“But now, should we get rid of the qi harvest fruit in Heavenly Court first or
try to fight for lightning Gu?”

Qin Ding Ling could not come to a decision by herself and gathered the
Heavenly Court immortals for a meeting.

“Qi Sea Ancestor is worthy of being a qi path great expert, with this method,
his force will be stable and in an impregnable position.”

“Wu Shuai’s alliance is still experimenting with various methods, their qi

path attainment is too shallow.”

“As long as Qi Sea Ancestor defers for some time, there might not even be a
need to start a fight and Wu Shuai’s alliance will break apart by itself.”

Qin Ding Ling shook her head at this optimistic plan: “Wu Shuai is a
formidable person. Even a rabbit will bite if it is forced to a corner, let alone
this dragonman. Once he obtains this news, he might immediately lead his
troops to fight Qi Sea Ancestor.”
“That’s right. Qi Sea Ancestor can safely remove the qi harvest fruits, but Wu
Shuai cannot. The longer their fight is delayed, the more unfavorable it is to
Wu Shuai. It is very likely for Wu Shuai to send his troops.”

“In that case, we have to move ahead of time and ask Qi Sea Ancestor to
resolve the qi harvest fruit in Heavenly Court.”

“You are right. Once the battle starts, Qi Sea Ancestor will not be able to
deal with too many matters, he will definitely have to bear the full force
attack from Wu Shuai. The situation is already like a conflict between fire
and water, the fight won’t be stopped easily once it starts, and it might really
be a life and death battle.”

Qin Ding Ling looked at Nine Spiritual Fairy: “How is the refinement of
hatred Gu going?”

Nine Spiritual Fairy shook her head: “There has been a breakthrough just
recently. Hatred Gu’s condition is extremely strange, it has already merged
into Qing Chou. We found a method to refine hatred Gu just recently. It will
take quite long to refine hatred Gu. But the good news is that if we succeed,
we can manipulate Qing Chou as well.”

Qin Ding Ling nodded: “Since hatred Gu has yet to be obtained completely,
there is no need to hurry in seizing lightning Gu. We will conceal this news
as much as possible and invite Qi Sea Ancestor to come to Heavenly Court
secretly and deal with the qi harvest fruit. After finishing this matter, we will
then fight with Wu Shuai.”

The immortals did not have any objections.

“But how should we reward Qi Sea Ancestor?” A Gu Immortal asked.

“This is not difficult. Qi Sea Ancestor is very interested in the qi path

Immortal Gu in my Heavenly Court’s treasury. In the previous letters, he had
repeatedly asked to borrow these qi path Immortal Gu, but I did not agree
and kept on making excuses.” Qin Ding Ling smiled.
Another Gu Immortal added: “We also need to be on guard against another
person, Demon Immortal Qi Jue!”

Qin Ding Ling nodded: “I have also considered it. This demon is also a qi
path great expert, if he collaborates with Wu Shuai, it will balance the
situation of both sides again, he is a huge threat.”

“It is difficult to track Demon Immortal Qi Jue, who knows where he has
gone now. He has just revived and is not familiar with the various paths of
the present age. He is currently purchasing qi path immortal materials in
treasure yellow heaven and exchanging for inheritances of every path, he is
taking even Gu Master inheritances. Wu Shuai has chips to transact with
him!”

Qin Ding Ling stressed once again: “So the current plan is to immediately
invite Qi Sea Ancestor to Heavenly Court while hiding the information and
striving for every second we can get!”
Chapter 2024: Strategies of the Three Parties
Within Dragon Palace, the atmosphere was heavy.

“The situation has become like this, what do you all think about it?” Wu
Shuai was the only person seated, he had already gathered the alliance’s
immortals and explained to them the actions that Qi Sea Ancestor took inside
Profound Literature grotto-heaven.

Heavenly Court tried all ways to conceal the information but at the same
time, Wu Shuai informed all of the Gu Immortals within the two heavens
alliance.

After hearing this nightmarish news, the response was huge as all of the
immortals’ expressions changed.

“Is this for real?” Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch asked immediately before
reacting to what he had said, his face turned pale: “I am not questioning Lord
Alliance Leader, but this is truly too sudden and surprising.”

Wu Shuai snorted coldly: “Do I need to lie to you?”

“This is not good!” Xiao He Jian’s expression was solemn: “Qi Sea
Ancestor is a qi path great expert, since Demon Immortal Qi Jue was able to
use a qi harvest fruit to revive, then there is also a high chance that Qi Sea
Ancestor can get rid of the threatening qi harvest fruits. If the enemy has a
method to get rid of the qi harvest fruits, they will have a complete upper
hand in this situation.”

“Indeed, indeed.”

“What do we do now?”

“My tribe’s grotto-heaven’s qi harvest fruit has already grown to a huge size,
if we do not get rid of it, it will explode soon.”
“But our experiments have not succeeded once, we already ruined many
grotto-heavens.”

“It is impossible for us to come to a peaceful truce with Qi Sea Ancestor, we

should be wary of them using this chance to attack us!”

The immortals discussed as their tone contained fear and panic.

Spectral Soul who was acting as Lady Cold Ash stood among them, cheering
secretly. He wanted the war to start as soon as possible, if there was chaos,
he would gain a great opportunity to take action.

Night Heavenly Wolf Lord showed the same attitude as the rest but he was
happy on the inside. He had already joined Heavenly Court, this situation
was very advantageous to him.

“Panicking to this degree, what a disgrace!” Gu tribe’s leader suddenly

shouted.

Everyone looked towards him.

Even though Gu tribe’s leader joined the two heavens alliance, he had
always been silent. But everyone knew that he was the closest person to Wu
Shuai. In terms of Wu Shuai’s trust, he surpassed Ice Crystal Immortal
Monarch and Xiao He Jian, who were both vice alliance leaders!

Gu tribe’s leader suddenly spoke, Xiao He Jian shook internally as he

realized something. Before he spoke, Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch had
already taken the initiative: “With Lord Alliance Leader here, we have
nothing to fear. At this crucial juncture of life and death, I am willing to
follow Lord Alliance Leader and listen to your commands.”

Xiao He Jian cursed internally but he quickly followed: “I will listen to Lord
Alliance Leader’s decision!”

Wu Shuai nodded slightly, snorting: “The current situation is critical, if we

sit and wait here, we will definitely perish, there is no exception. We have to
fight with all our strength now for a hope of survival. They are able to
eliminate the qi harvest fruit because of Qi Sea Ancestor’s method. As long
as we do our best and kill Qi Sea Ancestor, we will gain complete victory.
Even if we cannot kill him, as long as we gravely injure him, the situation
will also be alleviated.”

After Wu Shuai said that, Gu tribe’s leader immediately shouted: “Alliance

Leader is wise!”

Wu Shuai looked at Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch and Xiao He Jian, these
two vice alliance leaders immediately shouted: “Alliance Leader is wise,
this plan is superb!”

“What ideas do you all have? If anyone has a better suggestion, you can tell
us now.” Wu Shuai purposely asked the other Gu Immortals.

But what ideas could these people have?

In fact, Wu Shuai said he was going to attack the enemies because he had no
other choice now, this was their only hope. Other than this, could they
surrender to Qi Sea Ancestor?

It was not that they did not know this, but nobody had the guts to say it. Forest
Lightning grotto-heaven was the best example, everyone saw that pitiful end,
who would still dare to follow in its footsteps?

“Since everyone agrees, we will discuss about the way we will send our
troops, we will use our time efficiently and catch the enemy off guard.” Wu
Shuai said as he decided with lightning speed.

Gu tribe’s leader added: “Lord Alliance Leader is right, every second we

waste now will mean the enemy gets an additional second of advantage.”

Immediately, the immortals started to discuss their offensive strategy.

This discussion lasted nearly an hour before they came up with a refined
plan.

Wu Shuai opened the door of Dragon Palace, ordering the immortals to make
preparations, they would move out in seven days.
Night Heavenly Wolf Lord returned to Night Wolf grotto-heaven, he
mobilized his forces and gathered more troops while quickly informing
Heavenly Court of this new development.

After Qin Ding Ling received the information, she summoned the Heavenly
Court immortals for a meeting.

“The situation has changed, it seems that Wu Shuai has some spies around Qi
Sea Ancestor.”

“Like I said before, we cannot underestimate Wu Shuai.”

“Since Wu Shuai is going to take the initiative to attack, let’s use this chance
to take him down!”

“That will be hard, they have Dragon Palace and Di Zang Sheng to defend
them. Unless we can awaken some immortals from the graveyard, we will
not have sufficient strength to deal with the enemies.”

“Time is too pressing, we have seven days and the situation will occur far
away in Eastern Sea.”

“We can only inform Qi Sea Ancestor now and ask him to make preparations
while pretending to be ignorant. When Wu Shuai attacks, he will definitely
suffer a setback.”

“Did you forget that Wu Shuai has spies around Qi Sea Ancestor? If Qi Sea
Ancestor learns this information from us, it will also likely alert Wu Shuai.”

Prince Feng Xian suddenly spoke at this time: “Why must we inform Qi Sea
Ancestor?”

The discussions suddenly stopped.

“Qi Sea Ancestor is our ally, if we do not tell him about this, it will not
benefit our alliance.”

Prince Feng Xian shook his head slowly as he smiled: “As long as we keep
quiet, why would Qi Sea Ancestor find out that we know this? Our spy in the
two heavens alliance has always been kept as a secret, if we tell him now,
the spy might get exposed.”

“We ally with Qi Sea Ancestor because we need his strength to resolve
Heavenly Court’s problem of the qi harvest fruit, we also want to use him as
our pawn to gather an external force that can resist the variant human forces
from getting stronger.”

Prince Feng Xian continued to speak: “And thirdly, if possible, we want to

recruit Qi Sea Ancestor into becoming a Heavenly Court member.”

Qin Ding Ling looked at Prince Feng Xian: “Then in your opinion, what
should we do?”

Prince Feng Xian breathed in deeply: “In my humble opinion, we should

pretend that we do not know this and act according to our original plan. Now
that Qi Sea Ancestor has already secretly moved out, he will arrive in
Heavenly Court in three days. By then, we can get him to solve our problem
of the qi harvest fruit.”

“Heavenly Court is huge and has immense foundation, the qi harvest fruit
here is the largest in the world. Qi Sea Ancestor suggested us to create a qi
path immortal formation, it will take at least six days to get rid of the qi
harvest fruit. We can purposely delay the formation creation time, if Wu
Shuai’s invasion succeeds, Qi Sea Ancestor’s force will suffer a huge loss.”

“Qi Sea Ancestor will become anxious and want to return to help them but as
the person controlling the formation, how can he leave? Qi Sea Ancestor’s
force will be without a leader, they will not be able to defeat Wu Shuai. In
fact, even if they get wiped out, so what?”

“Our strength will not fall while Qi Sea Ancestor will become a loner. By
coming to Heavenly Court secretly and failing to protect his force, causing its
destruction, his reputation will fall to rock bottom. Eastern Sea’s Gu
Immortal world will also look down on him. Who would respect someone
who goes missing in battle while helping forces of other regions?”
“At that point, Qi Sea Ancestor will understand that his status in Eastern Sea
will never recover. By then, we will have no worries anymore, we can send
people to take revenge for him. During the process, we can move him with
logic and emotion, by tempting him with future gains, I am sure there is a high
chance we can get him to join Heavenly Court.”

The immortals were silent, they looked at each other before looking towards
Prince Feng Xian.

At this moment, all of the immortals’ gazes became different from before.

After hearing Prince Feng Xian’s strategy, their impression towards him
changed completely!

Prince Feng Xian’s arms were behind his back, he stopped speaking as he
smiled.

This scheme was vicious, none of the Gu Immortals here thought of it except
him, the reason was because of his own life experiences.

Prince Feng Xian came from Spirit Affinity House, he was used as a spy
initially to develop in Northern Plains. After many years, he became rank
eight and also married into Gong tribe, he was the strongest spy in Northern
Plains that came from Central Continent.

Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals have been too used to being overlords, their
mindsets were also too fixed in place. But all of the immortals here were
rank eight elites, they soon understood that Prince Feng Xian’s plan was the
most advantageous to Heavenly Court.

Even if Wu Shuai claims victory, so what?

Only the grotto-heavens in the two heavens would suffer. Even if Eastern Sea
gets involved in the fight, its foundation would not be affected.

Even if Eastern Sea’s righteous path was toppled, that would only be one
region. Humanity would still be the ruler of the world!
“Alright.” Qin Ding Ling looked at everyone’s expressions as she said,
making a decision: “We will act according to Prince Feng Xian’s proposal.”
Chapter 2025: Three Qi Immortal Gu
Heavenly Court was constantly filled with bright light.

Fang Yuan, who was disguised as Qi Sea Ancestor, had already arrived in
Heavenly Court.

He floated in the air as he observed the qi harvest fruit in front of him.

The qi harvest fruit in Heavenly Court was large beyond common sense, it
was like a towering mountain range, vast and colossal.

“Such a huge qi harvest fruit cannot even fit in an ordinary rank eight grotto-
heaven, it will destroy the aperture walls from its sheer size. Only Heavenly
Court has such a deep foundation and because of the use of Cang Xuan Zi’s
space path fruits, the space inside is large enough to accommodate this qi
harvest fruit.”

Fang Yuan sighed internally.

The last time he came to Heavenly Court, he had participated in the fate war
with his original appearance and caused Heavenly Court to lose badly. This
time, he was acting as Heavenly Court’s friend, he was here to resolve their
problem of the qi harvest fruit.

Changes in situations and circumstances were often hard to predict.

“How is it?” Qin Ding Ling stood beside Fang Yuan, asking.

Fang Yuan nodded: “This is the first time I’ve seen such a huge qi harvest
fruit, it shows that your foundation is truly unfathomable, this is truly the
number one force in the world.”

After pausing for a while, Fang Yuan continued: “After my inspection earlier,
even though my method is effective, this qi harvest fruit is too big. We need
to set up the immortal formation first, the larger the qi path immortal
formation, the more time we can save.”
Qin Ding Ling was slightly surprised: “Ancestor, to think that you have
already come up with the immortal formation’s design.”

Fang Yuan shook his head: “No, the qi path immortal formation that we will
set up is only going to amplify my qi path killer moves. The actual way to get
rid of the qi harvest fruit is still through the qi path killer moves that I will
use.”

Qin Ding Ling nodded upon hearing this, the explanation was logical.

She smiled as she took out a qi path rank eight Immortal Gu: “Heavenly
Court does not lack qi path Immortal Gu, to resolve the problem of the qi
harvest fruit, Heavenly Court is willing to use up our qi path resources.
Ancestor, look at this Immortal Gu.”

Fang Yuan’s attention was drawn to this Immortal Gu.

“Don’t tell me this is… human qi Immortal Gu?” Fang Yuan’s pupils
expanded as his expression changed.

Human qi Immortal Gu resembled a bee, it was thumb-sized and constantly

moved its wings, floating above Qin Ding Ling’s palm, it emitted a cloud-
like qi.

Qin Ding Ling handed human qi Immortal Gu to Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan extended his hand and held the Gu, he looked at it fixedly and
praised: “Good Gu, good Gu. This Gu is related to human path, it has
immense potential for development!”

Qin Ding Ling smiled as she took out a second Immortal Gu, handing it to
Fang Yuan.

This was earth qi Immortal Gu, it resembled a butterfly, brown in color, it

also gave off a cloud-like qi.

Fang Yuan’s left hand held human qi Immortal Gu while his right hand held
earth qi Immortal Gu, he looked at them with great interest: “Wonderful,
wonderful.”
“And this is heaven qi Immortal Gu.” Qin Ding Ling said as she passed Fang
Yuan a third rank eight Immortal Gu.

Heaven qi Immortal Gu resembled a dragonfly, it was green in color and had

eight pairs of thin bluish wings, when it moved its wings, its entire body
would emit a translucent qi current.

Fang Yuan had a solemn expression: “This heaven qi Immortal Gu is tightly

connected with heaven path. Truthfully speaking, the method that I created to
get rid of the qi harvest fruit only succeeded after I comprehended a trace of
heaven path’s profundity. If I had this Gu, I would have succeeded much
earlier.”

“Gu Immortals cultivate all sorts of paths, human path and heaven path are
the most unique. Ancestor, you have already reached the peak of qi path, thus
you are able to mimic other paths easily and comprehend the true meaning of
various paths.” Qin Ding Ling praised before changing her words: “These
three qi Immortal Gu are the core of triple qi retraction killer move, they are
priceless treasures of Heavenly Court. Only Heavenly Court members can
have them.”

Qin Ding Ling saw Fang Yuan’s expression and felt internally happy, she
hinted to him that these Gu worms would be available if he joined Heavenly
Court.

After hearing this, Fang Yuan showed a hesitant expression, but he was
smiling to himself internally.

All of the expressions he showed were just an act.

If he really cultivated qi path solely, these three qi Immortal Gu would be

incredibly alluring. Fang Yuan had tried many times already, these three qi
path Immortal Gu were the cores of triple qi retraction, they could not be
replaced. If he used other qi path Immortal Gu in place of them, even if he
manages to create a triple qi retraction killer move, its value in battle would
fall drastically.
Thus, even though Fang Yuan had the complete Primordial Origin qi path true
inheritance now, he did not benefit much from it.

Furthermore, Qi Sea Ancestor was just one of Fang Yuan’s identities. He

also had no lack of rank eight Immortal Gu. Attitude, Mutation, Wisdom
Sword, Years Flow Like Water, Soul Beast Token, Regret, Spring, Summer,
Big Qi, Region, Addition, Steal Life, Water Refinement, Advance
Refinement, Dream Token, he simply had too many of them.

In Fang Yuan’s eyes, only rank nine Immortal Gu could truly excite him.

But rank nine Immortal Gu were too rare.

He originally had one, which was wisdom Gu. But this Immortal Gu was
tampered by Giant Sun Immortal Venerable long ago, he had no choice but to
sacrifice it in the fate war.

Qin Ding Ling lent all three qi Immortal Gu and let Qi Sea Ancestor
familiarize himself with them, she also arranged several Gu Immortals to
modify the qi path immortal Gu formation with Qi Sea Ancestor.

Having everyone’s help, the qi path immortal formation was finalized in a

few days.

Fang Yuan and the Heavenly Court immortals started to set up the formation.

This qi path formation’s main owner was naturally Fang Yuan.

But in the other formation cores, there would be Heavenly Court’s Gu

Immortals stationed, they could help him out while also supervising his
actions.

Qi Sea Ancestor was an outsider after all, even though he underwent an

alliance agreement, he was still not a Heavenly Court member. How could
Heavenly Court not guard against him?

The truth was, the assisting Gu Immortals were not the only ones guarding
against him.
The core Immortal Gu of this qi path formation, Heaven Qi, Earth Qi, and
Human Qi, were temporarily lent to Fang Yuan by Qin Ding Ling. If any
situation occurs, Heavenly Court could immediately take them back and make
Fang Yuan lose control of the entire qi path formation.

This qi path formation was modified along with several Heavenly Court Gu
Immortals. Even if they had low qi path attainment, they still had general
knowledge, it was hard to deceive them. Also, Fang Yuan did not conceal
anything inside this qi path formation.

The formation was definitely not an issue.

“Earth qi Gu, go!” Fang Yuan first tossed earth qi Immortal Gu as he instilled
immortal essence.

Earth qi Immortal Gu quickly flew out, it went into the ground below the qi
harvest fruit.

Boom!

Suddenly, with a loud explosion, the ground below the qi harvest fruit started
to shake, earth qi started to rise up continuously.

Fang Yuan started to collect the earth qi, the Heavenly Court Gu Immortals
around him also took action, some helped with the gathering while others set
up small formations around the small holes that the earth qi emerged from.

While Fang Yuan was setting up his formation, deep underground at another
area of Heavenly Court, there was a huge underground square.

Qing Chou’s mountain-like body was deep within this underground square,
unmoving like a statue.

Bam…

Suddenly, a loud sound could be heard from afar.

The underground square shook slightly, several cracks appeared on the

ground.
But Red Heart Traveler, who was defending this place, was not flustered, he
immediately acted to stabilize the situation. The cracks on the ground could
be seen disappearing at an observable rate.

“What’s the commotion?” Qing Chou suddenly spoke, but strangely, its voice
was actually Nine Spiritual Fairy’s.

Nine Spiritual Fairy was actually inside Qing Chou’s body, trying to
forcefully refine hatred Gu.

“From this commotion, Qi Sea Ancestor must have started to create his
formation. He used earth qi Immortal Gu as the first foundation of the
formation, it involved the earth vein. Meanwhile, we are at one of the main
earth veins, thus we could feel the influence.” Red Heart Traveler spoke:
“Earlier, you were at a crucial moment, so I did not inform you of this. But
don’t worry, this cannot interrupt our plan.”

“Mm.” Nine Spiritual Fairy stopped worrying as she said: “Then let’s hurry
up, if we can refine hatred Gu at the same time as the elimination of the qi
harvest fruit, Heavenly Court will have a double celebration.”

Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals had already recovered from the trauma of the
fate war, they became braver after the humiliation, they worked harder and
had greater morale now.

Days later, the qi path formation was created, Fang Yuan was the main user
and activated his method to eliminate the qi harvest fruit.

The qi harvest fruit was continuously shaved off from Fang Yuan’s killer
move, but this qi harvest fruit in Heavenly Court was just too big, some time
was needed to completely destroy it.

Days passed, the qi harvest fruit was removed by over ten percent.

Qin Ding Ling hurried to Fang Yuan as she showed a solemn expression:
“Ancestor, the situation in Eastern Sea has changed, this is not good.”

Fang Yuan looked shocked: “What happened?”

“Wu Shuai suddenly led his alliance to launch an invasion, they have split
into three groups, they are attacking the grotto-heaven forces that have
submitted to our side. Because we were caught off guard, our losses are quite
severe.” Qin Ding Ling said.

“News that I came here should have been kept a secret. How did this
happen? How did Wu Shuai find out so quickly?” Fang Yuan’s expression
changed, there was anxiety in his tone.

“Ancestor, you want to return to help Eastern Sea?” Qin Ding Ling purposely
asked.

“That is so.” Fang Yuan frowned: “But this method needs my full attention, if
I stop halfway, there might be problematic consequences.”

Qin Ding Ling cupped her fists at Fang Yuan: “Ancestor, please consider the
big picture! It is unexpected that Wu Shuai attacked so soon, but if you return
now, that will be what Wu Shuai wants to see. Only after eliminating the qi
harvest fruit can we have a safe territory to count on. By then, you can lead
our Heavenly Court’s immortals to return to Eastern Sea and retaliate, you
can say that you went to seek reinforcement from Heavenly Court, but Wu
Shuai attacked and trapped you temporarily. By gathering our strength, we
will kill Wu Shuai and get rid of the two heavens alliance. That is the true
way to seek victory.”

Fang Yuan did not speak, he only looked at Qin Ding Ling deeply.

Long after, he spoke in a grim tone: “Wu Shuai attacked with his full force, he
must have been prepared for this. Does Heavenly Court know of their plans
in advance?”

“Definitely not.” Qin Ding Ling shook her head, showing a firm expression.

Fang Yuan snorted coldly, he showed a struggling expression as he sighed

helplessly: “Forget it, I will stay here and control the formation until we get
rid of the qi harvest fruit. But during this time, I need Heavenly Court to send
people to assist Eastern Sea!”
Qin Ding Ling sighed as well: “We will do our best.”

Fang Yuan gritted his teeth as he said: “Once I get rid of the qi harvest fruit, I
will need to return and help them. But these days of unceasingly controlling
the formation will cause my battle strength to fall. I need Heavenly Court to
give me the three qi Immortal Gu to kill the enemies and claim victory.”

Qin Ding Ling’s expression changed, even though Fang Yuan spoke politely,
his request for reward was really absurd, it far exceeded Qin Ding Ling’s
bottom line.

She rejected as she shook her head: “The three qi Immortal Gu are the
treasures of Heavenly Court, only our members can…”

Before she finished, Fang Yuan interrupted: “Eastern Sea’s immortals are all
my subordinates.”

Qin Ding Ling still shook her head: “We will remember ancestor’s sacrifice,
but even as Heavenly Court’s leader, I cannot give you three rank eight
Immortal Gu. At most, we can give you one as compensation.”

“How can one Gu compensate for the people in the grotto-heavens?” Fang
Yuan showed slight anger.

Boom!

While the two were negotiating, a loud sound could be heard in the sky.

A rank eight Immortal Gu House directly charged in with a fierce aura!

Heavenly Court’s immortals were all shocked.

The Immortal Gu House that invaded Heavenly Court was Dragon Palace!

“How can this be?!” Qin Ding Ling could not waste time with Fang Yuan
anymore, she immediately flew out of the formation to face the enemies.

Dragon Palace’s door opened as Wu Shuai sat on his throne, speaking from
deep within Dragon Palace: “Qin Ding Ling, we meet again.”
“Wu Shuai, why are you here?” Qin Ding Ling shouted as several Gu
Immortals gathered behind her.

Wu Shuai smiled coldly as he kicked a head that was near his feet.

This head fell from the stairs of the dragon throne, rolling into Central Great
Hall. The person had died with his eyes wide open, it was Night Heavenly
Wolf Lord.

“Old scoundrel Qi Sea can get rid of qi harvest fruits, your Heavenly Court
wants to conceal this information and secretly eliminate your internal threat?
Hehe, wishful thinking! I am here to destroy your Heavenly Court and also
kill that old scoundrel Qi Sea, let’s see who in this world can stop my rise to
supremacy!”

Wu Shuai said that as he stood upright, he waved his hand and shouted:
“Kill!”

At the next moment, immortals rushed out of Dragon Palace, attacking with
ferocious expressions.
Chapter 2026: Fang Yuan Appears
Central Continent, deep beneath a certain Earth Trench.

Fairy Zi Wei controlled the wisdom path formation, purple light flickered
within it without spreading out.

Within the formation, other than Bai Ning Bing, Hei Lou Lan, and Ying Wu
Xie, there was Fairy Miao Yin and Lady White Rabbit, as well as several
other Gu Immortals.

After the fate war, these Gu Immortals were all left outside by Fang Yuan.

Fairy Zi Wei and the rest worked together with Bing Sai Chuan’s group,
capturing all of these people.

As the purple light faded, the formation stopped working, Fairy Miao Yin’s
expression was uncertain while Lady White Rabbit had anger in her eyes,
they were both unable to move.

“Aren’t you surrendering?” Ying Wu Xie laughed coldly.

“Hmph, you traitor!” Lady White Rabbit shouted angrily.

Bai Ning Bing also came over with a cold and indifferent expression: “I
would advise you to reconsider, after all, you have just lost your greatest
value.”

Fairy Miao Yin heard this, she became more uncertain.

At this moment, Fairy Zi Wei stored away the formation as she stood up. She
was very weak now after using her full strength to make the deduction, the
cost was high. But joy was apparent on her face.

“It looks like she succeeded.” Bing Sai Chuan was waiting outside the
formation, he smiled upon seeing this.
Hei Lou Lan walked towards Bing Sai Chuan from Fairy Zi Wei’s position,
stopping behind him.

Fairy Zi Wei smiled lightly: “We have enough clues, we achieved success! I
have already deduced Fang Yuan’s location, guess where this crafty demon is
hiding?”

Bing Sai Chuan frowned: “Your question is an obvious hint in itself. Don’t
tell me that this scoundrel Fang Yuan has been hiding in Heavenly Court?”

Fairy Zi Wei nodded: “According to my deductions, he is indeed in Heavenly

Court now!”

The immortals heard this and showed varying expressions.

Ying Wu Xie gritted his teeth: “He is crafty indeed, his departure from
Heavenly Court earlier was just a smokescreen, he must have been hiding in
Heavenly Court all along.”

Old Man Zheng Yuan sighed: “No wonder we could not find his main body!”

Bai Ning Bing laughed loudly, praising: “Exciting! This is truly Fang Yuan’s
attitude.”

Bing Sai Chuan frowned: “But how could he possibly hide until now without
getting detected by Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals?”

Fairy Zi Wei’s eyes flickered with bright light: “I can only deduce that he is
in Heavenly Court now, he might not have been there the entire time. But in
terms of ability, this demon is unfathomable. His growth is too fast, every
time he fights, his enemies will see an explosive growth in his strength.”

Bing Sai Chuan sighed: “Now that Fang Yuan is hiding in Heavenly Court,
what can we do? Do we go and attack Heavenly Court? Should we inform
Heavenly Court about this and let them kill him, but wouldn’t that allow them
to get all of his inheritances?”

Bing Sai Chuan represented Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, they cared about
the benefits of Northern Plains’ Longevity Heaven. Furthermore, they had
spent a lot of effort to deduce Fang Yuan’s location, telling Heavenly Court
about it was quite a loss for them.

Old Man Zheng Yuan reminded: “No matter what, we need to tell our master
about this important information!”

Fairy Zi Wei replied: “I have already reported it to master when I stored the
formation away.”

Heavenly Court.

Intense battle erupted.

Boom!

Lady Cold Ash dodged with rapid speed, avoiding the explosion of a killer
move.

She was the disguise of Spectral Soul, he had just received Fairy Zi Wei’s
information, he was not in a good mood.

“Fang Yuan is in Heavenly Court now? Of course he is, I knew about that
long ago!”

Memories surfaced in Spectral Soul’s mind regarding the event that happened
days ago.

The Gu Immortals were called to assemble in Dragon Palace, Wu Shuai used

the excuse that they were going to discuss the matter about attacking Qi Sea
Ancestor.

But halfway through the meeting, Wu Shuai suddenly took action.

Dragon Palace roared, Night Heavenly Wolf Lord was caught off guard, he
was hit by the killer move dreamy light smoke and was taken down without
putting up a fight.

“Everyone, don’t panic, this person is a spy in our alliance, he is the

informant of Heavenly Court.” Wu Shuai pacified the immortals while taking
out evidence.

Looking at the concrete evidence, the immortals were shocked and furious,
they wanted Night Wolf grotto-heaven to pay the price for this betrayal.

Wu Shuai shook his head: “We definitely need to punish Night Heavenly Wolf
Lord, but the urgent matter is not this. We need to look at the big picture!”

Gu tribe’s leader frowned: “Lord Alliance Leader, because of this traitor

Night Heavenly Wolf Lord, our plan to attack has been exposed. If we go
ahead with it, we will no longer hit our enemies by surprise.”

Wu Shuai smiled grimly: “There is important information I have yet to tell

you. Qi Sea Ancestor is not in Eastern Sea now, he has already gone to
Central Continent’s Heavenly Court many days ago.”

“This is good news!” Many Gu Immortals heard this and rejoiced.

But Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch’s expression was grim: “What’s good
about this? The reason why we are attacking Qi Sea Ancestor is because of
his ability to get rid of the qi harvest fruits for others. Now that he is not
around, what is the point of our assault?”

The Gu Immortals who cheered became stunned, after realizing the situation,
the atmosphere in Dragon Palace became much grimmer.

“Don’t worry, everyone.” Wu Shuai spoke as everyone’s gazes landed on

him.

He continued: “It is quite simple to resolve this problem. Since Qi Sea

Ancestor has gone to Central Continent’s Heavenly Court, we will also head
to Heavenly Court and kill Qi Sea Ancestor who is over there!”

“…What?”

“This…”

The Gu Immortals in the palace hesitated.

“It is not easy to attack Heavenly Court.”

“Heavenly Court is the number one human force in the world, even though it
lost in the fate war, we cannot possibly defeat it.”

Many Gu Immortals wanted to give up.

But Wu Shuai snorted coldly: “You fools.”

He scolded them in public, the loud noises in the palace became silent, all of
the Gu Immortals did not dare to speak anymore.

“Why aren’t you thinking about the reason why Heavenly Court invited Qi
Sea Ancestor to visit them in secret?” Wu Shuai purposely asked with a stiff
expression.

Xiao He Jian, who reacted quickly, said instantly: “Does this mean that
Heavenly Court also has the problem of the qi harvest fruit?”

Wu Shuai chuckled: “Your grotto-heavens have the problem of the qi harvest

fruit, Heavenly Court is also a grotto-heaven situated in white heaven, why
wouldn’t they have the same problem?”

After hearing this, the immortals realized at once.

This was actually just their own mentality. In their mind, Heavenly Court was
the supreme organization, even though it lost the fate war, they still displayed
terrifying might and foundation. They had only lost because of enemies like
Fang Yuan and Red Lotus Demon Venerable. From the variant human Gu
Immortals’ perspective, this was not an illogical loss, it did not undermine
Heavenly Court’s terrifying strength.

And because of this, the variant human Gu Immortals subconsciously thought

that even if Heavenly Court had the problem of the qi harvest fruit, they could
resolve it themselves, after all, Heavenly Court was created by Primordial
Origin Immortal Venerable, who became venerable through qi path.

“Lord Alliance Leader is wise!” Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch patted his
forehead: “Heavenly Court invited Qi Sea Ancestor to resolve their threat of
the qi harvest fruit, because even though they have their qi path inheritance,
they lack a qi path Gu Immortal.”

“Also, why did Heavenly Court choose to ally with Qi Sea Ancestor? Other
than wanting to resist us, they also want to alleviate their own problems.”

“Precisely.” Wu Shuai looked at Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch with an

expression of praise: “You guys are not too stupid after all. Heavenly Court
is at its weakest state now, while Qi Sea Ancestor has gone to resolve the qi
harvest fruit problem. As long as we attack them during this period, the result
will be shocking when we catch them unguarded!”

“If we attack Heavenly Court before Qi Sea Ancestor starts working on the
qi harvest fruit, we will attack the qi harvest fruit and force them to go on the
defensive. This way, we will hold the initiative and be able to retreat or
advance at will.”

“If Qi Sea Ancestor is using his killer move to eliminate the qi harvest fruit
while we attack Heavenly Court, that will be even better! We can disrupt him
with our full strength and cause Qi Sea Ancestor’s killer move to fail and
suffer a backlash. If we work harder, we might be able to kill him on the
spot.”

Wu Shuai said calmly.

“But what if Qi Sea Ancestor has already gotten rid of the qi harvest fruit by
the time we attack Heavenly Court?” A Gu Immortal asked with caution.

Wu Shuai snorted coldly: “Heavenly Court’s foundation is too deep, their qi

harvest fruit is also very extraordinary, if Qi Sea Ancestor spends effort to
get rid of it, his own condition will definitely slip. Of course, this is just the
worst case scenario, but we are in an urgent situation in the first place, we
will need to take risks for any hope. Other than this, do you have other
ideas?”

Facing Wu Shuai’s question, everyone was silent.

In this situation, they had no choice but to follow Wu Shuai and attack
Heavenly Court.

But…

Many of the Gu Immortals were still hesitant, including their vice alliance
leaders, Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch and Xiao He Jian.

“Or perhaps, we can try to experiment and find a way to get rid of the qi
harvest fruit?” A Gu Immortal asked softly.

Wu Shuai’s expression sank a little, he scolded in his head: “These variant

human Gu Immortals have been cowards for too long, they have absolutely no
courage to take risks.”

But Wu Shuai predicted this earlier, he started to laugh.

“Why is Lord Alliance Leader laughing?” Gu tribe’s leader asked.

Wu Shuai stopped his laughter as he said: “The truth is, I am also worried
about bringing you fools to attack Heavenly Court. But I have invited a strong
reinforcement to help us, because of him, I learned about Night Heavenly
Wolf Lord’s betrayal.”

“Oh? Who?” The immortals were curious.

Lady Cold Ash’s gaze flickered, having a guess.

At this moment, from behind Wu Shuai, a Gu Immortal walked out. He wore

a white robe, his black hair extended to his waist, he had a peerless face
with divine brilliance, cold light oozed out of his abyss-like eyes.

“Ahhh!”

“Fang Yuan…”

“It’s him, it really is him.”

The immortals’ pupils shrunk as their expressions changed, all of them were
shocked.

Under everyone’s gaze, Fang Yuan spoke slowly in a cold tone: “Heavenly
Court has gone too far, now that I have regained my strength, I am about to
attack them. Without Duke Long, who can stop me?”

His voice resounded in the palace, nobody dared to retort to him. Ice Crystal
Immortal Monarch and the rest had palpitating hearts, with a monster like
Fang Yuan leading them, they gained a huge boost in morale and confidence!

Fang Yuan was someone who had defeated Heavenly Court, his battle
strength was apparent to the whole world!

Undeniably, he was the number one demon in the current world.

Chapter 2027: Heavenly Courts Crisis
Roar—!

The Evil Dragon’s roar shook heaven and earth, whipping up storms and
clouds. Its mountain range-like body moved at the front, followed by the
immortals of the two heavens alliance, and finally, Dragon Palace at the end.

Primordial qi wall!

This was the method left by Primordial Origin Immortal Venerable, it

appeared once again when Heavenly Court was attacked, but it could not
stop Di Zang Sheng’s advancement!

“The five regions became one, this Evil Dragon has gotten much stronger!
Furthermore… ever since the fate war, after Fang Yuan broke the primordial
qi wall, even though it recovered a little, it is much weaker than before.” Qin
Ding Ling frowned, she quickly analyzed the situation, with just the
primordial qi wall, they could stall for some time but they could not stop this
Evil Dragon!

“Lady Qin, do you need me to battle?” At this moment, Nine Spiritual Fairy
transmitted and asked.

Heavenly Court once had transformation path great experts, Zhang Fei Xiong
and Flesh Whip Immortal, but now they were dead, Nine Spiritual Fairy was
the only transformation path great expert left.

“No, we are only one step away from subduing Qing Chou, continue to refine
hatred Gu.” Qin Ding Ling transmitted before shouting: “Shabi Ninety-five,
Ruan Dan, aren’t you going to fight yet?!”

Hearing a tiger roar and crane cry at once, two legendary immemorial
desolate beasts appeared in front of Di Zang Sheng.

The three legendary immemorial desolate beasts fought intensely, causing the
entire place to rumble.
After just a few rounds, Ruan Dan and Shabi Ninety-five started to retreat.
They were in pitiful states, with just physical brawling, they were not Di
Zang Sheng’s match.

Thus, they started to use killer moves, instantly, grey light shot out like
blades, pill light exploded.

Di Zang Sheng roared, purple-gold light appeared on its body, blocking all of
the offensive killer moves.

Next, the golden light faded away. Di Zang Sheng’s whiskers grew out
rapidly, each of them shot out like countless snakes, the commotion was huge.

Facing this attack, Shabi Ninety-five and Ruan Dan had to retreat.

“This Evil Dragon actually has Immortal Gu now, it can use killer moves!”
Qin Ding Ling’s heart sank, she took a look at Dragon Palace.

Di Zang Sheng was a legendary immemorial beast to begin with, it had

superior intelligence and could use Gu worms to activate killer moves. But
before the fate war, it was enslaved by Dragon Palace and had no time to
obtain Gu worms. Thus, during the fate war, it could only fight using its
physical body. That was why it could not resist Feng Jiu Ge’s destiny song, it
was handled very quickly, even against other killer moves, it could only
resist using its body.

But after the fate war, Wu Shuai made considerations to prepare Gu worms
for Di Zang Sheng.

At that time, Wu Shuai was quite poor, he did not have excessive Immortal
Gu.

Even though the main body had many Immortal Gu, Fang Yuan was moving
around in Western Desert, he did not meet with Wu Shuai initially, also, even
though he had Immortal Gu, they were not suitable for Di Zang Sheng.

But Wu Shuai had great luck, he grasped onto his opportunity and became the
leader of the two heavens alliance.
With sufficient resources, Wu Shuai started to equip Di Zang Sheng. By now,
Wu Shuai and his main body had taken over the two heavens alliance, by
using the excuse of eliminating the qi harvest fruit, he destroyed several
grotto-heavens and made forceful transactions with the Gu Immortals of the
two heavens alliance, Di Zang Sheng finally gathered enough Gu worms to
form some basic killer moves.

Di Zang Sheng suppressed Ruan Dan and Shabi Ninety-five, forcing them to
retreat as it charged forward ferociously.

Qin Ding Ling yelled as she flew up into an Immortal Gu House. Several
Immortal Gu Houses flew towards Di Zang Sheng, they formed a defensive
line.

Di Zang Sheng’s advancement was halted, Shabi Ninety-five and Ruan Dan
also joined the encirclement.

“We finally stopped it!” Qin Ding Ling calmed down slightly, but at this
moment, she saw Dragon Palace flying around, towards the qi harvest fruit.

Heavenly Court’s qi harvest fruit was too huge and too eye-catching!

Wu Shuai was too vicious, he attacked the enemy’s weakness, Qin Ding
Ling’s expression changed as she quickly moved a portion of the Immortal
Gu Houses to block Dragon Palace.

“The situation is critical, if the qi harvest fruit is destroyed, the whole of

Heavenly Court will face destruction! Quickly awaken the people sleeping in
the immortal graveyard!” Zhou Xiong Xin urged.

“Or we can let Nine Spiritual Fairy and Red Heart Traveler join the fight!”
Bai Cang Shui suggested.

Qin Ding Ling gritted her teeth, deciding: “Awaken those in our immortal
graveyard!”

More than half of Heavenly Court’s immortal graveyard was destroyed, there
were only a small number of Gu Immortals left sleeping in it. But with the
awakening of these people, they formed sufficient force to handle the
pressure, their defensive line that was precarious became stable now.

“Go and attack the qi harvest fruit!” Wu Shuai gave an order to the alliance
army.

These Gu Immortals had dispersed earlier, they were like scattered sand,
trying to make their way through the qi wall and towards the qi harvest fruit.

Seeing this, Qin Ding Ling felt enraged, she gritted her teeth, she was furious:
“I will grind the bones of these variant humans into ash, I will kill them all!”

The two heavens alliance’s Gu Immortals were not very strong but they had
the numbers, and right now, Heavenly Court’s weakness was their lack of
manpower.

“Don’t worry, there are many variant human Gu Immortals but they are all
cowards. As long as we send one person to kill several of these invaders,
they will lose their morale and not dare to progress further!” Prince Feng
Xian suggested.

“Who can take on the task?” Qin Ding Ling quickly asked.

Che Wei replied with his actions, he turned into a flash of light and flew out
of the Immortal Gu House, towards the qi harvest fruit.

“Die!” He flew like a great eagle, unleashing killer moves that were
extremely powerful, his might could not be resisted.

“Ahh—!”

“What killer move is this?”

Out of two variant human Gu Immortals, one was heavily injured, the other
was killed on the spot.

At the crucial moment, Che Wei displayed outstanding battle strength, both
sides were similarly shocked.
After all, he had just defeated two variant human Gu Immortals with rank
eight cultivation level.

“That killer move seems to be from a whole new path?”

“Too terrifying. Before we can understand its background, if I charge

towards him, I will definitely be split into two by his blade.”

“Let’s wait for Fang Yuan to attack instead!”

The Gu Immortals of the two heavens alliance were hesitant, they stopped
moving forward.

“These useless trash!” In the depth of Dragon Palace, Wu Shuai frowned with
anger showing on his face.

At the crucial moment, these variant human Gu Immortals were completely

useless, they were not even qualified to be cannon fodder.

But Wu Shuai was prepared for this, he waved his hand: “Your turn to fight!”

Four figures flew out of Dragon Palace, they were the Four Dragon Generals,
Zhang Yin, Granny Rong, Yang Zi He, and Old Man Bei Feng, who took the
place of Shi Miao.

These four rank eight Gu Immortals were enslaved by Dragon Palace, they
had absolute loyalty and did not fear death, they split up into four different
directions and advanced.

Even though Che Wei was strong, he could only block one person.

“Protect me!” Qi Sea Ancestor transmitted to Qin Ding Ling: “Now is a

crucial moment, if we stop here, the consequences will be unthinkable.”

Qin Ding Ling almost wanted to grit her teeth till they shattered, the three
dragon generals were very close to the qi harvest fruit, she had to take a risk
and mobilize Immortal Gu Houses to block them.
At the same time, two Gu Immortals flew out of the Immortal Gu Houses to
resist the dragon generals.

Roar—!

Right when Heavenly Court managed to block the Four Dragon Generals,
over on Dragon Palace’s end, it exerted force to stop Ruan Dan. Using this
chance, Di Zang Sheng rammed Shabi Ninety-five away as it charged
forward, managing to reach the qi harvest fruit.

Di Zang Sheng opened its mouth and spat out a torrent of green qi.

The green qi shattered the immortal formation and hit the qi harvest fruit.

The qi harvest fruit shook intensely, Qi Sea Ancestor’s expression changed,

he spat out a mouthful of blood, the killer move was halted, he seemed to
have suffered great backlash.

“Oh no!” The expressions of Heavenly Court’s immortals changed.

“We succeeded!” The subordinates of Wu Shuai started to cheer, their morale

rose.

The qi harvest fruit was damaged, it implicated Heavenly Court. The land of
Heavenly Court cracked, Earth Trenches appeared, earth qi rumbled, heaven
qi shook, the sky became chaotic as countless clouds and gusts of wind
stirred.

Crack, crack.

The aperture wall of Heavenly Court started to crack, large pieces of the
wall fragments fell off and created huge holes that connected to the outside
world.

Even the fate war did not deal such great damage to Heavenly Court!

The appearance of the qi harvest fruit created a fatal weakness in Heavenly

Court.
“Die!” Che Wei was enraged, his left hand was like a blade, his right hand
was like a spear, both hands pushed forward as two golden-silver lights
pierced Yang Zi He.

Yang Zi He died!

Wu Shuai laughed loudly, shouting: “Today is the day Heavenly Court faces
destruction.”

Qin Ding Ling’s eyelids twitched, even though Wu Shuai’s side suffered more
losses, he was not wrong about it. With their greatest weakness, the qi
harvest fruit, Wu Shuai had the initiative in this battle!

“Heavenly Court is facing a crisis, what should we do?” Even someone like
Qin Ding Ling felt lost at this moment.

Amidst her feeling of loss, she also felt fear: “Don’t tell me Heavenly Court
is going to be destroyed in my hands?”

Right at this moment, Qi Sea Ancestor transmitted to her: “The situation is

quite critical, we need to take a risk.”

Qin Ding Ling responded subconsciously: “What risk?”

“Earlier, my qi path Immortal Gu were destroyed, I can no longer use the

previous method to eliminate the qi harvest fruit. But I had created a killer
move that is incomplete, it can cause the qi harvest fruit to shrink
temporarily.” Qi Sea Ancestor said.

Qin Ding Ling’s eyes shined, she saw hope in this desperate situation, she
quickly said: “Ancestor, please use it! As long as we get through this crisis,
Heavenly Court will not disappoint you.”

Heavenly Court’s greatest problem was the qi harvest fruit now. It was too
big, like a mountain range, it was the biggest target for killer moves. But if it
shrunk, it would be much easier to protect.

“We need to be fast, this killer move is not complete, I can only hold on for
some time.” Qi Sea Ancestor said as he flew towards the qi harvest fruit.
When he was about to crash into it, he turned into a human-shaped qi current
that fused into the qi harvest fruit.

The qi harvest fruit shook, as expected, it started to shrink.

After a few breaths of time, it went from a mountain range-like size into the
size of a horse carriage.

This change made the Heavenly Court Gu Immortals surprised but also
happy.

An Immortal Gu House flew down and floated above the qi harvest fruit, it
shot out a grand pillar of light that enveloped the entire qi harvest fruit.

Wu Shuai’s side rained down a torrent of killer moves but they could not
affect the pillar of light at all.

Di Zang Sheng and Dragon Palace arrived again.

“Stop them!” Qin Ding Ling shouted, but their situation was too passive, they
had no choice but to retreat.

The qi harvest fruit shrank again, it went from a horse carriage to the size of
a normal gourd.

Seeing that they were about to lose again, Qin Ding Ling quickly asked:
“Ancestor, can you move the qi harvest fruit away?”

Qi Sea Ancestor replied weakly: “This is already my limit! I researched on

Demon Immortal Qi Jue’s revival method, I can only shrink the fruit but I
cannot move it. This method has only been created haphazardly, it is not
complete, you need to quickly think of a solution!”

Qin Ding Ling was out of ideas already, she originally wanted to send the
members of the ten great ancient sects here to fight. But Central Heaven Gate
of Heavenly Court, which could deploy members, was destroyed by Fairy Zi
Wei during the fate war.
But at the next moment, the primordial qi wall shattered, countless qi currents
landed on Di Zang Sheng’s body.

Di Zang Sheng’s battle strength fell rapidly, its threat level was lowered.

This was the backup method of Primordial Origin Immortal Venerable, it was
used on Fang Yuan during the fate war. At that time, Fang Yuan could not
break away from it, Limitless Demon Venerable had to take action to help
him block these qi currents.

But now, the chess game had ended, the two venerables’ silhouettes were
gone, there was nothing that could help Di Zang Sheng.

In an instant, Di Zang Sheng was suppressed by Shabi Ninety-five.

Heavenly Court’s crisis was temporarily alleviated.

On Wu Shuai’s side, they lost their most important battle strength, Dragon
Palace had to step up and use the killer move dreamy light smoke, as
Heavenly Court had no way of countering it, Dragon Palace’s demonic might
surged.

“This cannot go on, our Heavenly Court lacks people with peak battle
strength after all!” Qin Ding Ling gritted her teeth.

If Duke Long was here, how could these enemies act so ferociously?

“Qi Sea Ancestor has peak battle strength too but he faced backlash from the
failure of the killer move. He is also not a member of Heavenly Court, why
would he fight to the death for us?”

While Qin Ding Ling was thinking of this, Qi Sea Ancestor transmitted again.

“The biggest key now is to get rid of the qi harvest fruit. As long as it is
removed, we can go on the offensive without worries. There is still hope
now, my killer move only lacks the final part for completion! There is a high
chance of success.”

Qin Ding Ling’s heart shook: “What do you need?”

Qi Sea Ancestor replied: “I need Heavenly Court’s heaven path true
meaning, I need to raise my heaven path attainment level and conceptualize
the complete killer move rapidly to get rid of the qi harvest fruit!”
Chapter 2028: Heaven Path Research Results
After hearing that Qi Sea Ancestor wanted heaven path true meaning, Qin
Ding Ling smiled bitterly: “Even though Heavenly Court has deep
foundations, we have never seen nor heard of heaven path true meaning.”

“Oh? Why is that so?” Qi Sea Ancestor asked.

“Because nobody can cultivate heaven path. If it can be cultivated, why

would our Heavenly Court create Heaven Overseeing Tower to make use of
fate Gu?” Qin Ding Ling’s words were filled with deep emotions.

No Gu Immortal could cultivate heaven path, therefore, heaven path true

meaning had never existed!

It was not easy for a Gu Immortal to leave behind true meaning.

To leave behind true meaning, wisdom path and rule path had the greatest
ease. As for other paths, they had to reach a certain level of mimicking these
paths to leave their true meaning behind. For example, Long Hair Ancestor’s
refinement path true meaning or Reckless Savage’s transformation path true
meaning.

After hearing Qin Ding Ling’s reply, Fang Yuan did not feel dejected.

He came prepared, his request was actually his probing towards Heavenly
Court’s foundation, what if they had it after all?

Heavenly Court not having heaven path true meaning was not unexpected.

Qi Sea Ancestor (Fang Yuan) sighed deeply as he transmitted to Qin Ding

Ling: “Then there is no hope. I can only come out and fight alongside
Heavenly Court to kill these variant humans.”

Qin Ding Ling instantly became anxious.

The qi harvest fruit was Heavenly Court’s fatal weakness, the reason why
they could still maintain a deadlock was because Qi Sea Ancestor made the
fruit smaller. Once he lets go and it returns to being mountain size, Heavenly
Court would be in a difficult spot, the situation would be hard to turn around.

Qin Ding Ling was facing immense pressure now.

Some of her pressure came from the enemies, but a portion came from within
her.

After the fate war, the immortal graveyard was heavily damaged, Heavenly
Court’s foundation was reduced, Qin Ding Ling had to take on this
responsibility and manage all the affairs of Heavenly Court, which was on
the brink of destruction.

She worked hard over these days, she had given it her all, she exerted her
body and mind for Heavenly Court, trying to restore its former glory.

Similar to the other Heavenly Court members, Qin Ding Ling had an intense
feeling of belonging to Heavenly Court.

But now, the enemies were attacking suddenly, they even had the fatal
weakness of the qi harvest fruit, Qin Ding Ling sensed a huge danger: “Was
Heavenly Court going to be destroyed in this fight? Was it because of her
failure to defend it, would she be the biggest sinner of Heavenly Court’s
history?”

Rumble!

The intense battle continued, Dragon Palace rampaged unhindered.

Qin Ding Ling took charge of the situation, observing the battlefield, while
mobilizing the people and communicating with Qi Sea Ancestor.

With both internal and external threats, the pressure was pushing her to make
a gamble.

“Qi Sea, do not give up. Even though Heavenly Court does not have heaven
path true meaning, we have abundant heaven path research results. I will
hand them to you!”

Qin Ding Ling passed an information path Immortal Gu to Qi Sea Ancestor

without hesitation.

“My plan succeeded!” Fang Yuan received this information path Immortal
Gu, he sighed deeply in his heart as he looked into it immediately.

“Brilliant! Wonderful! Astounding!” Fang Yuan only saw a small portion but
his eyes shined with bright light, he praised it continuously in his heart.

For the last three million years, Heavenly Court rose to become the number
one human force in the world. These years, they initially followed the will of
heaven, before trying to resist it later, followed by altering heaven’s will and
interfering with the Heavenly Dao.

Their heaven path research results were abundant, they undeniably had the
most progress in the world!

Fate Gu was a heaven path Immortal Gu, it could not be used by anyone. But
Heavenly Court forcibly created Heaven Overseeing Tower and unleashed a
portion of fate Gu’s might.

In the five hundred years of his previous life, why did Spectral Soul infiltrate
Heavenly Court? A large portion of the reasons were to try obtaining the
heaven path research results!

As for why Limitless Demon Venerable decided to make a bet with Star
Constellation’s will and set up a game of chess, wasn’t it because he wanted
to use Heavenly Court’s heaven path research results to help in his plan
within Crazed Demon Cave?

And now, they ended up in Fang Yuan’s hands.

Fang Yuan looked into them, his heart shook.

He saw two killer moves.

One was named heaven-human sensation, the other was called human
executing heaven’s work, they were both created by Star Constellation
Immortal Venerable.

Heaven-human sensation allowed a Gu Immortal’s will to interact and fuse

with heaven’s will. Human executing heaven’s work was built on the
foundation of heaven-human sensation, it allowed a Gu Immortal to replace
heaven’s will to a certain degree.

Precisely because of these two killer moves, Star Constellation’s will could
interfere and affect heaven’s will, she could even replace heaven’s will to
control fate Gu and allow Heavenly Court to have a decisive rule for three
million years!

“The solution lies in this!” Fang Yuan acutely sensed that these two killer
moves were the key to breaking out of his current predicament.

He took a risk to come to Heavenly Court now and deceive Qin Ding Ling, it
was to achieve his goals, which were finally reached.

“Qi Sea, I wonder if these research results can help you complete the killer
move?” Qin Ding Ling asked while in intense battle.

Fang Yuan coughed: “Your heaven path research results are quite helpful to
me. But modifying a killer move right now carries risk, I need you to fight
and stall for time, get me as much time as possible.”

Qin Ding Ling gritted her teeth: “Ancestor, you need to be fast, we can only
do our best. In the worst case, we have to give up Heavenly Court and save
the Gu Immortals instead.”

She had already made plans for the worst case scenario.

Fang Yuan continued to read.

Following the two killer moves were the concepts that Star Constellation
Immortal Venerable came up with, Fang Yuan looked at them and gained deep
enlightenment.
“My will represents heaven’s will, heaven’s will represents my will… so
that’s it, so that’s it.”

Fang Yuan remained stationary as he focused on comprehending this

information, he allowed his clone, Wu Shuai, to continue leading the two
heavens alliance to fight against Heavenly Court.

Because of Primordial Origin’s method, Di Zang Sheng was no longer as

strong, Ruan Dan suppressed it. As for Shabi Ninety-five, it had already
rejoined the defensive line, to become part of the force that resisted Dragon
Palace.

Under Wu Shuai’s control, Dragon Palace charged around the battlefield

unhindered, Heavenly Court was greatly troubled by its power.

But on the other hand, the Gu Immortals of the two heavens alliance were
suppressed, they were not as powerful as each Heavenly Court Gu Immortal.

Compared to the Heavenly Court members, they were lacking in strength.

Only two people had equivalent battle strength, they were the two vice
alliance leaders, Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch and Xiao He Jian.

As for Spectral Soul, who was pretending to be Lady Cold Ash, he continued
to conceal himself, on the surface, he was desperately fighting and unable to
put up strong resistance.

“This is a prime opportunity! Fairy Zi Wei, bring everyone and participate in

the battle in Heavenly Court!” Spectral Soul gave instructions: “Fang Yuan is
in Heavenly Court, I will kill him, the members of Heavenly Court, and Qi
Sea Ancestor.”

Fairy Zi Wei received the instructions and asked: “Do we include Longevity
Heaven’s group? Do we tell them about the situation in Heavenly Court?”

Fairy Zi Wei had only deduced Fang Yuan’s location, Bing Sai Chuan knew
about it too. But he did not know about Heavenly Court’s current situation, he
just thought that they were being cautious.
In that case, Bing Sai Chuan would need to conceal the information of Fang
Yuan’s location. Even though he wanted to let them fight each other as well,
if Heavenly Court captures or kills Fang Yuan, they would gain all of his
inheritances and Immortal Gu, wouldn’t that be benefiting them?

Thus, Bing Sai Chuan’s plan was to continue working with Spectral Soul’s
side and try to attack Heavenly Court together next time.

Spectral Soul recalled the attack from Giant Sun during the fate war and
snorted coldly, he did not hesitate: “No need to tell them, hide this from them,
your group will come alone!”

Thus, Fairy Zi Wei did not say anything, after leaving Bing Sai Chuan’s
group, her group headed towards Heavenly Court.

Heavenly Court was damaged and the aperture wall was cracked, it became
connected to the outside world. Fairy Zi Wei and the rest could get in very
quickly.

“Fairy Zi Wei’s group cannot turn the situation around, we need to wait until
both sides suffer mutual loss before we can exert the maximum impact.”
Spectral Soul considered.

For him, the best case was for Wu Shuai and Heavenly Court to cripple each
other’s battle strength. By then, if he took action, he would reap huge gains.

“But why hasn’t that scoundrel Fang Yuan done anything?” Spectral Soul
observed Dragon Palace while at the same time, an Immortal Gu House from
Heavenly Court attacked him.

Spectral Soul withheld his killing intent, he abandoned a group of soul

beasts, retreating continuously.

In order to lay low, he decided to wait and endure.

But this Immortal Gu House came for him and used a killer move, a ray of
profound light shot out towards Spectral Soul.
Spectral Soul’s heart shook as he hesitated. He had the ability to dodge this
but Lady Cold Ash did not. There was no choice, he abandoned another
group of soul beasts to block the Immortal Gu House and stall for time.

“Die!” Che Wei suddenly appeared behind Lady Cold Ash, his body shined
in golden light, his aura was sharp as a blade.

“Do you really think I’m easy to bully?” Spectral Soul was deeply enraged
but he decided to keep up the act.

Boom!

Che Wei’s attack landed on Lady Cold Ash, she fell towards the ground as
she coughed out mouthfuls of blood.

Lady Cold Ash’s aura weakened continuously until it was completely still.

“Dead!”

“I killed another one.”

Che Wei did not sense Spectral Soul, he flew away in the Immortal Gu
House, towards the other areas of the battlefield.

Spectral Soul remained on the ground like a corpse, not moving and
pretending to be dead.

Boom boom boom!

A while after he landed on the ground, a series of immortal killer moves

turned into lightning as they shot down, erupting around Spectral Soul’s body.

Lady Cold Ash was turned into char, half of her flesh was cooked and
emitted the fragrance of meat.

“I’ll endure!” Spectral Soul gritted his teeth.

Bam.
With a loud sound, Di Zang Sheng also fell, it landed on top of Spectral Soul.

Next, Ruan Dan flew towards Di Zang Sheng and shouted excitedly: “Attack,
attack, attack, attack, attack!”

Bam bam bam…

The ground shook intensely, Spectral Soul’s bones were almost all crushed:
“I’ll endure!”

Di Zang Sheng and Ruan Dan flew away, soon, an Immortal Gu House came.

It was Dragon Palace.

Immortal killer move — Dreamy Light Smoke!

Wu Shuai used a dream path killer move and chased after Qin Ding Ling
relentlessly.

Qin Ding Ling dodged the attack rapidly, the dreamy smoke killer move
could not turn around in time, it was about to land on Spectral Soul.

Spectral Soul: “…”

“Enough is enough!” At the next moment, he rose up abruptly, waving his

hand, black qi permeated throughout the entire battlefield.

Whoosh, the ground shook, mountains rumbled, all of the Gu Immortals

present were blown away by the impact.
Chapter 2029: Whats The Situation?
“What… what’s the situation?” As black qi surged, Xiao He Jian was forced
to retreat with shock on his face.

He saw the moment when Lady Cold Ash was killed by Che Wei, he felt a
little pity for her. To think that soon after, she would actually revive!

“Was she pretending to be dead earlier, but because of bad luck, the dream
path killer move almost hit her, so she had to retaliate? But… why does Lady
Cold Ash have such battle strength?”

Not only was Xiao He Jian shocked, the other Gu Immortals had the same
doubts.

But compared to Heavenly Court, the two heavens alliance was also filled
with joy. After all, even though Lady Cold Ash was deeply concealing her
strength, she was still one of them.

“That hit earlier has power similar to Duke Long. Is Lady Cold Ash someone
on Duke Long’s level? Hmph, I refuse to believe it!” A Gu Immortal on
Heavenly Court’s side flew out again, it was none other than Che Wei, who
was displaying great might in this battle.

Che Wei flew towards Lady Cold Ash, all sorts of signs showed that the
move earlier was Lady Cold Ash’s trump card, it could not be used often.

“Die!” Che Wei’s body radiated with golden light as he flew towards Lady
Cold Ash like a crashing meteor.

At the same time, somewhere underground far from the battlefield.

Two Heavenly Court members were still trying to forcefully refine hatred
Gu.

Red Heart Traveler controlled the formation while Qing Chou remained
unmoving like a statue.
Nine Spiritual Fairy’s voice came from within the statue: “We are almost
done, in just a few more minutes, we will thoroughly refine hatred Gu!”

Once she said that, Qing Chou’s dim eyes burst open, endless blood red light
shot out of its eyes!

“What is going on?” Nine Spiritual Fairy shouted in shock.

“What happened?” Red Heart Traveler asked while instilling immortal

essence, raising the power of the immortal formation.

But Qing Chou’s body started to shake with greater intensity.

“It’s hatred Gu… oh no!” Nine Spiritual Fairy suddenly shouted, she flew out
of Qing Chou’s body like a flash of light.

Roar—!

Qing Chou regained freedom, it roared towards the sky, its voice resounded
throughout the area, exploding with thunderous impact.

Boom!

At the next moment, Qing Chou charged out of the formation, flying towards
the surface, leaving behind a damaged formation and two immensely shocked
Heavenly Court rank eight Gu Immortals.

Red Heart Traveler, who was controlling the formation, suffered a

considerable backlash, he quickly assisted the falling Nine Spiritual Fairy as
he asked: “Qing Chou has flown to the battlefield, what in the world
happened?”

Nine Spiritual Fairy was still in a daze, she said in uncertainty: “Maybe I
saw wrongly, but at that moment, rank eight hatred Immortal Gu burst out
with terrifying power, it… it had a trace of a rank nine Immortal Gu’s aura!”

At this time, the battlefield had already shifted its attention from Dragon
Palace and the qi harvest fruit to Lady Cold Ash.
Lady Cold Ash’s attack was too powerful, it shocked all of the Gu Immortals.

Che Wei arrived before her, Lady Cold Ash only snorted coldly as her body
flew up, turning into black light as she charged towards Dragon Palace!

At the same time, Lady Cold Ash shouted in a loud voice: “Fang Yuan, it is
time for us to settle the score!”

Spectral Soul had a straightforward idea, since Fang Yuan was not showing
up, he would force him out.

Times were different now.

During the fate war, Spectral Soul was very weak, he could only escape and
recuperate using Fairy Zi Wei and Old Man Zheng Yuan’s strength. But now,
he had already gained much of his strength, he was no longer weak.

“What is going on?” The immortals were truly stunned.

Lady Cold Ash actually ignored Che Wei, she went straight for Dragon
Palace!

“Internal strife?” Che Wei’s movement halted for a moment.

“Wait and see first, this might be their scheme!” Qin Ding Ling wanted to
play safe, she got the immortals to gather.

Wu Shuai frowned, he moved Dragon Palace to retreat.

But Lady Cold Ash was faster!

She placed her palm at the top of Dragon Palace.

It seemed like a weak action but it made the entire Dragon Palace fly out like
a cannonball.

At the same time, the silhouettes of immemorial soul beasts appeared on the
surface of Dragon Palace.
Roar roar roar…

Each immemorial soul beast silhouette that flickered would deal a huge
attack to Dragon Palace. After more than ten immemorial soul beasts
appeared, there was already a huge hole at the top of Dragon Palace, the
pillars broke and tiles cracked, it was a terrifying sight.

Che Wei watched with sweat on his forehead, he knew the power of Dragon
Palace, but Lady Cold Ash had dealt such damage to it with just one palm
strike.

“So Lady Cold Ash is actually so strong! I was simply courting death earlier
by attacking her.” Che Wei immediately changed directions as he retreated.

“Lady Cold Ash, what are you doing?!” Xiao He Jian shouted.

“What soul path killer move is this, it has such power…” Even though Ice
Crystal Immortal Monarch showed an angry expression, he was enveloped in
cold sweat.

Dragon Palace was still retreating.

“Can you escape?” Lady Cold Ash smiled coldly, she was about to attack
again when a huge shadow enshrouded her body.

Lady Cold Ash turned back to take a look, she saw Qing Chou, having the
size of a mountain, it had gotten close to her at some point, opening its
bloodthirsty mouth as it tried to devour her.

“Hmm?” Seeing this, even Lady Cold Ash’s gaze froze for a second.

Spectral Soul was aware of Qing Chou’s existence. But he did not expect to
meet Qing Chou at this place and time.

Seeing that Lady Cold Ash was about to die, suddenly, her body turned into
black smoke as she drifted away, dodging Qing Chou’s attack.

“Beast, scram!” Lady Cold Ash shouted, she stretched out her hand and
placed it on Qing Chou’s head.
The scene from earlier was seen again, immemorial soul beast silhouettes
appeared around Qing Chou as they flickered.

Bam bam bam…

Each time a silhouette appeared, an explosive sound would follow.

Qing Chou was soon covered in injuries but it did not retreat even in the
danger of death!

Spectral Soul was just about to chase after Dragon Palace when Qing Chou
blocked his path again.

“Spectral Soul, I will kill you, I will kill you!” Qing Chou shouted as it
pounced at Lady Cold Ash.

Spectral Soul was enraged: “I have no time to waste with you.”

He controlled Lady Cold Ash’s body as he prepared a terrifying killer move.

Black smoke started to come out of Lady Cold Ash’s seven orifices, her aura
was growing at a terrifying manner.

Black smoke gathered and moved towards Qing Chou.

Qing Chou’s offensive killer move went into the black smoke.

After a breath’s time, the black smoke scattered, Qing Chou’s killer move
landed on Lady Cold Ash without becoming weaker at all.

Lady Cold Ash’s expression turned to shock, she was sent flying after being
caught off guard.

“Rank nine Immortal Gu? No, just an incomplete product.” Lady Cold Ash
swallowed a mouthful of blood, she squinted her eyes and looked at Qing
Chou, her expression was stern.

Nine Spiritual Fairy had just arrived in the battlefield, her pupils shrunk: “I
did not sense wrongly, rank eight hatred Gu is going to become rank nine!”
“Qing Chou originated from the souls that Spectral Soul slaughtered. The
core Immortal Gu that created Qing Chou was hatred Gu, but hatred Gu and
Qing Chou had an extraordinary connection. Not only did hatred Gu create
Qing Chou, Qing Chou is also nourishing and nurturing hatred Gu.”

“Maybe hatred Gu was just rank six, or even four or five at the start. But as
Qing Chou grew, its endless hatred allowed hatred Gu to continuously grow
until now. It is already moving from rank eight to rank nine!”

Rank nine hatred Gu!

Chapter 2030: Spectral Souls Demonic Migh
What was this situation?

Seeing that Lady Cold Ash got sent flying by Qing Chou, the immortals
present were stunned.

The rank nine Immortal Gu aura was not fake, but it was too weak, the main
part of the aura was still at the level of rank eight Immortal Gu. This was
something that was unheard of.

An incomplete rank nine Immortal Gu?

All the immortals were bewildered.

Gu refinement had always been a strict process, be they human or hairy man
refinement methods, they had their specifications.

This was true for both Fang Yuan and Long Hair Ancestor. There had never
been a case where a Gu worm could still be used in battle during refinement.

But the truth was in front of them, the immortals had to admit the fact.

“What refinement method is this?” Many Gu Immortals became quite excited:

“This will start a new trend of refinement path!”

“Spectral Soul? Qing Chou possesses hatred Gu, it should not be wrong. To
think that Lady Cold Ash’s body was actually taken over by Spectral Soul.”

“Seeing what Spectral Soul said, it seems that Fang Yuan is here too, hiding
in Dragon Palace?”

The Gu Immortals were startled and puzzled.

Too many unexpected incidents had happened in this battle. Heavenly Court,
the two heavens, Spectral Soul, and Fang Yuan all had their own plans,
nobody knew the entire situation clearly. Even though Fang Yuan was reborn,
he was the same.

Spectral Soul’s identity was exposed, Fang Yuan felt quite relieved about it.

Dragon Palace retreated even more quickly. Wu Shuai recalled the three
dragon generals, at the same time, the Gu Immortals of the two heavens
alliance guarded Dragon Palace against Spectral Soul.

Wu Shuai did not dare to risk letting the immortals of the two heavens
alliance into his Dragon Palace, the appearance of Spectral Soul made
everyone else suspicious as well.

“I can’t wait anymore…” Qi Sea Ancestor (Fang Yuan) gritted his teeth
before activating his hidden method. He was originally intending to wait
some more, but with Spectral Soul’s appearance and Qing Chou’s assault, he
understood that the situation was out of his control, he needed to act quickly!

Fang Yuan immediately contacted Qin Ding Ling: “The modification has
some results, protect me well, we will go into the critical period now!”

“Understood!” Joy flashed on Qin Ding Ling’s face, this was the best news
she had heard since the battle started.

Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals shrunk back to form a tight defensive circle,

they defended against Spectral Soul and Wu Shuai’s Dragon Palace.

Roar—!

Qing Chou charged towards Lady Cold Ash.

Hatred Gu’s rank nine aura was getting stronger, it seemed like Spectral
Soul’s appearance had summoned the deepest hatred in Qing Chou’s heart,
this intense feeling of hatred was rapidly helping to refine hatred Gu.

Hatred Gu activated, amplifying Qing Chou’s strength comprehensively.

Especially offensive killer moves, their might was increased to a terrifying
level.
Spectral Soul and Qing Chou fought, he actually got suppressed for some
time.

The killing intent on his face became denser, after a few rounds, he spat out a
mouthful of black qi.

The black qi was small and insignificant, but once it flew towards Qing
Chou, it made Qing Chou’s movements slow, its attacks were no longer
rapid.

Spectral Soul’s body shook, turning into countless phantoms and surrounded
Qing Chou tightly.

Qing Chou possessed hatred Gu, it should be able to find out the real
Spectral Soul. But against the countless Spectral Souls, it showed a confused
expression, having lost its target.

Spectral Soul’s main body suddenly appeared on the back of Qing Chou, he
stretched out his palm and his entire forearm was stabbed into Qing Chou’s
body.

Qing Chou’s body started to shiver, it felt extreme pain as it raised its head
and roared!

Qing Chou unleashed immortal killer moves consecutively, ignoring its own
state as it assaulted Spectral Soul who was on its back.

Spectral Soul endured the endless assault but continued to sustain his current
method.

Qing Chou fell on the ground, with a loud sound, the earth rumbled, a huge pit
was created.

Qing Chou rolled on the ground, it was unable to shrug off Spectral Soul.

“Oh no, he is trying to refine Qing Chou!” Qin Ding Ling saw what was
happening, her heart jumped, she wanted to order the Gu Immortals to disrupt
Spectral Soul.
But Wu Shuai moved one step earlier.

Dragon Palace unleashed dreamy light smoke as a cloud of pink smoke flew
towards Spectral Soul.

Spectral Soul was not afraid of other methods but dream path methods were
still threatening.

He had no choice but to stop and retreat for now.

Qing Chou regained freedom as a result but it was very weak, it almost fell
to the ground.

In contrast, Spectral Soul flew to the sky with an increased aura. Evidently,
the method used against Qing Chou earlier was not just enslavement, it also
had a special ability to extract its strength.

Seeing this, almost all the Gu Immortals’ hearts sank.

Qing Chou has a quasi-rank nine hatred Gu, its battle strength rose
drastically, reaching the levels of Fang Yuan, Duke Long, and Feng Jiu Ge
during the fate war, but it was ineffective against Spectral Soul.

Other than catching Spectral Soul off guard initially, once he was prepared,
Qing Chou got easily countered afterwards.

In the end, Qing Chou was still an immemorial soul beast, it was against
Spectral Soul, who was primarily a soul path cultivator and had the deepest
knowledge of this. Spectral Soul had a bunch of methods to counter
immemorial soul beasts, in fact, the reason for the creation of soul beasts
was Spectral Soul himself.

“What a pity, I was so close to enslaving this legendary desolate beast.

Hmph! Fang Yuan, you are courting death.” Spectral Soul’s plan was foiled,
he emanated killing intent with a cold expression, attacking Dragon Palace
again.

The two sides fought again, Wu Shuai put in all his effort but he could not
resist Spectral Soul’s methods, he was forced to retreat.
Spectral Soul’s demonic might was overwhelming, he dominated the entire
battlefield without difficulty. Dragon Palace, which was showing great
performance earlier, could not defend against his unparalleled power.

His killer moves were endless, they either had great strength or peculiar
effects, they were all hard to defend against.

Spectral Soul had already recovered, even though he was not at the level
when he refined sovereign immortal fetus Gu on Yi Tian Mountain, he had
mostly regained his strength.

Wu Shuai controlled Dragon Palace to fight against Spectral Soul, during this
time, Qing Chou and the rest also interfered, but they were all suppressed,
the situation was getting increasingly dangerous.

After more than ten rounds of fighting, Dragon Palace was heavily damaged,
the three dragon generals all died at Spectral Soul’s hands. Thankfully, there
was the killer move dreamy light smoke that Spectral Soul was worried
about.

The Gu Immortals of the two heavens alliance could not be depended on,
they all hid at one side. Spectral Soul’s might was too terrifying, whoever got
close would die.

“The time is about ripe.” Wu Shuai finally received the instructions from his
main body.

He let out a breath of air, driving Dragon Palace towards the qi harvest fruit.

Qin Ding Ling and the rest had formed into a defensive line, they became
alarmed, they shot out endless profound lights.

Wu Shuai shouted: “Heavenly Court, if you still refuse to take action, after
Spectral Soul kills me, you will all die as well.”

Qin Ding Ling retorted: “Stop right now, whoever comes here will face our
full-on assault!”
During the fight between Spectral Soul and Dragon Palace, Heavenly Court
had been watching at the side, not doing anything. Qin Ding Ling and the rest
were waiting for Fang Yuan, as long as he stayed motionless, they would not
attack. Nobody knew what vile schemes this demon Fang Yuan was
preparing after all!

Wu Shuai did not care, he steered Dragon Palace to get close to Heavenly
Court’s defensive line.

Behind him, Spectral Soul chased relentlessly.

Qin Ding Ling’s expression was grim, she ordered: “Attack Dragon Palace,
force it back!”

Rumble…

All sorts of killer moves landed on Dragon Palace, creating beautiful ripples
of various colors in the sky. Dragon Palace was like a crumbling boat, riding
against the dangerous waves.

Large numbers of Gu worms died, including Immortal Gu.

This battle caused severe losses to Dragon Palace, the price to repair it
would be extremely high.

“Oh no, it is getting close!”

They watched as Dragon Palace almost went past Heavenly Court’s

defensive line, at the crucial moment, Shabi Ninety-five and Ruan Dan came
out to block Dragon Palace despite the danger.

But soon, Spectral Soul also arrived, chaos ensued.

“Die!” Spectral Soul’s killing intent surged, he soon gained the upper hand.

Heavenly Court’s defensive line was collapsing.

Right at this moment, Qi Sea Ancestor’s laughter could be heard.

Swish swish swish!

The originally condensed qi harvest fruit exploded into a tsunami, engulfing

heaven and earth, clouds and winds raged, at once, the entire battlefield was
filled with qi currents over a massive range.

At once, all the Gu Immortals lost their sense of direction, they could only
see white qi in front of them, they could not even see their own fingers.

At the center of the qi currents, there was a baby shape gathering, it devoured
the white qi.

In a few breaths of time, the baby grew rapidly, turning old as it became Qi
Sea Ancestor’s appearance, having rank eight cultivation level!

Fang Yuan’s main body flickered, he waved his sleeves, a split soul that was
prepared in advance flew out, carrying Gu worms and immortal essence into
Qi Sea Ancestor’s body.

After the split soul arrived, the Qi Sea clone opened his eyes.

While Fang Yuan’s main body used the opportunity to enter Dragon Palace.
Chapter 2031: Chasing, Escaping
Fang Yuan had always taken action after planning, even though this venture to
Heavenly Court was dangerous, he had made ample preparations.

He refined Heavenly Court’s qi harvest fruit into his qi path clone, while the
main body went into Dragon Palace at this very moment. Even though there
were many Gu Immortals in the battlefield, nobody found out the truth.

Fang Yuan’s qi path clone breathed in deeply, all of the white qi got absorbed
into his body.

Next, he pushed with both arms as a thunderous sound occurred, a dense qi

wall formed and pushed towards Dragon Palace and Spectral Soul with
overwhelming might.

Spectral Soul’s eyes shined with bright light, black qi burst out of his body
and crashed into the qi wall, emitting a loud sound.

The qi wall was corroded but the surrounding qi wall came to fill it up again.
Spectral Soul made use of this timing to turn into black light and penetrate
through it like a flash of lightning.

A portion of Spectral Soul’s focus was kept on Qi Sea Ancestor, while most
of his attention remained on Dragon Palace.

Dragon Palace was huge, it would not be easy to pass the qi wall. Once
Dragon Palace exposed a weakness while resisting the qi wall, Spectral Soul
would take action and make use of Qi Sea Ancestor’s killer move to deal a
huge blow to Dragon Palace.

Right when the qi wall was about to crash into Dragon Palace, its door
opened, Fang Yuan stood upright, appearing in front of everyone.

Immortal killer move — Unlimited Qi Sea!

Fang Yuan was already well prepared, he raised his right arm now as he
grabbed towards the qi wall with his five fingers.

The colossal qi wall shook as it collapsed, countless qi currents were drawn

by a formless force, going into Fang Yuan’s immortal aperture.

“Fang Yuan!”

“He was here after all.”

“This move again! During the fate war, he used this move to unravel
primordial qi wall!”

The immortals saw Fang Yuan’s appearance as all of them shook.

Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals were all ashen, after they lost the fate war,
Fang Yuan had turned into a nightmare that shrouded over their minds.

The two heavens alliance’s Gu Immortals were joyful instead. Seeing Fang
Yuan’s action, it was clear that he was on their side.

Spectral Soul’s pupils shrunk, Fang Yuan’s performance was quite shocking.
He was troubled by the heaven path dao marks after all, how could he still
display such immense battle strength?

The entire battlefield fell into peculiar silence.

Fang Yuan and Qi Sea Ancestor appeared at the same time, the entire
battlefield’s situation was turned around in an instant.

Heavenly Court protected Qi Sea Ancestor, Spectral Soul was alone, while
Fang Yuan was standing in front of Dragon Palace, the three strongest Gu
Immortals prepared to face off against each other.

In the Gu world, strength reigned supreme, the following battle would

depend on these three people.

“To think that this day would come when Heavenly Court fails to be the
leader of this confrontation.” Qin Ding Ling sighed in her heart as she
transmitted to Qi Sea Ancestor, asking about his condition.

Qi Sea Ancestor immediately replied: “Even though I got rid of the qi harvest
fruit, I suffered considerable injuries. I will need everyone from Heavenly
Court to work together to survive this crisis.”

Qin Ding Ling said again: “Heavenly Court’s greatest threat was resolved
thanks to you, ancestor. After we survive this, Heavenly Court will definitely
reward you satisfactorily!”

Qin Ding Ling was trying very hard to gain Qi Sea Ancestor’s help, at this
moment, Dragon Palace flew out like an orange meteor towards the sky!

After this catastrophic battle, Heavenly Court was completely covered in

holes. Dragon Palace escaped along one of these loopholes, easily leaving
Heavenly Court and entering immemorial white heaven.

The remaining immortals looked at Dragon Palace’s figure with stunned

expressions.

Even though Fang Yuan appeared and cooperated with Wu Shuai, the two of
them had actually escaped.

Was this the showing of the number one demon?

“It seems that Fang Yuan has not recovered.”

“Even though that move was ferocious and broke Qi Sea Ancestor’s qi wall
killer move earlier, he was likely at his limit!”

“Do we chase them? This demon Fang Yuan is too crafty, I am afraid that this
is just his plan to lure us out. He might have an immortal formation outside
lying in ambush, waiting for us to head into his trap.”

The Heavenly Court Gu Immortals hesitated while the two heavens alliance
Gu Immortals cursed in their hearts.

The expert and leader that they placed their hopes and morale on had actually
escaped, they fled so quickly!
All of these two heavens alliance Gu Immortals were left in Heavenly Court,
they were abandoned.

“Fang Yuan, where are you running to? Die here and now.” Spectral Soul
snickered as he used Lady Cold Ash’s body to rush out of Heavenly Court,
chasing after Dragon Palace.

Roar—!

Qing Chou roared, it was gradually recovering the strength that it lost, even
though the rank nine aura of its hatred Gu was not complete, it was already
much denser than before.

“Spectral Soul, I want you to die!” Qing Chou, who had unresolvable hatred,
did not hesitate, it chased after Spectral Soul.

Thus, in the battlefield, only Heavenly Court’s immortals, Qi Sea Ancestor,

and the two heavens alliance’s Gu Immortals were left.

Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch and Xiao He Jian looked at each other.

They were in an awkward situation now!

“We will chase them!”

“Protect Dragon Palace!!”

Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch and Xiao He Jian worked together for the first
time, they shouted something that they did not believe in as they charged out
of Heavenly Court.

The remaining two heavens alliance Gu Immortals followed after them,

shouting and jeering as they also went out of Heavenly Court along with the
two vice alliance leaders.

“Are we going to kill these variant human Gu Immortals?” Prince Feng Xian
asked Qin Ding Ling.
Qin Ding Ling looked towards Qi Sea Ancestor, she thought about it before
saying resolutely: “No! These variant human Gu Immortals are just minor
problems, the most important thing is Fang Yuan. Two people will stay
behind to take care of the place, the rest will follow me to pursue and kill
Fang Yuan!!”

Fang Yuan was not in good condition now, it was the best time to kill him.

If they manage to kill Fang Yuan, the loot they could gain would be extremely
favorable to Heavenly Court. Fang Yuan had too many good things, he had
countless Immortal Gu and exceptional inheritances. Even without them, as
long as they could capture his soul and extract the memories of his previous
life, it would be incredibly precious to Heavenly Court!

In fact, even if Heavenly Court gets nothing from killing Fang Yuan, just the
fact that he died at their hands would allow Heavenly Court to regain their
morale, they would break free of the trauma of the fate war, they would be at
the top of the world again.

“Even if we cannot kill Fang Yuan, we cannot let Spectral Soul kill Fang
Yuan!” Furthermore, Qin Ding Ling was also wary of that old monster
Spectral Soul.

“Ancestor…” Qin Ding Ling was about to speak when Qi Sea Ancestor
interrupted her.

“No need to say anything, be it Spectral Soul or Fang Yuan, they are both
demons, us righteous path members should execute them all. Time is
pressing, our opportunity is slipping, we need to chase them now!” At the
crucial moment, Qi Sea Ancestor displayed the demeanor of a heroic leader
of the righteous path!

The Heavenly Court immortals felt much closer to him after hearing that.

Qin Ding Ling nodded gravely, without Qi Sea Ancestor’s help, they would
not be able to chase Fang Yuan safely.
“The main body’s situation is strange, I need to look after him. These
Heavenly Court Gu Immortals are much better cannon fodder than those two
heavens alliance immortals!” Qi Sea Ancestor made his plan internally,
leading the Heavenly Court immortals as they chased.

This way, Dragon Palace was at the front, followed by Spectral Soul, who
was getting closer.

Followed by Qing Chou.

Followed by Qi Sea Ancestor and the Heavenly Court immortals.

As for the two vice alliance leaders of the two heavens alliance, they had
already escaped from Heavenly Court with the other immortals, they
scattered all over the place thinking only of escaping, nobody dared to join
this battle anymore.

At this moment, Dragon Palace was still tightly shut.

Fang Yuan sat on the ground, modifying the two killer moves, heaven-human
sensation and human executing heaven’s work.

Fang Yuan lacked more than half of the Gu worms needed for these killer
moves. He had to modify the moves and swap out the Gu worms so that he
could use these moves.

Immortal Gu were unique, these two killer moves were newly obtained, Fang
Yuan had quite a bit of difficulty in the modification.

After attempting it for some time, Fang Yuan changed his tactic, he gave up
on the Immortal Gu level and targeted the aspect of a mortal killer move.

Fang Yuan connected to treasure yellow heaven and soon gathered the
relevant mortal Gu worms. With the necessary Gu worms and after modifying
the move from an immortal killer move to a mortal killer move, the difficult
became nearly nonexistent.

With these two mortal killer moves, Fang Yuan stopped the formation in the
sovereign immortal aperture, no longer using qi tides to cleanse the immortal
aperture’s nine heavens and five regions.

Soon, heaven’s will was produced.

Fang Yuan sent a portion of his will towards the heaven’s will.

Next, he activated the killer move heaven-human sensation, Fang Yuan fused
into the heaven’s will.

After that, he activated human executing heaven’s work.

After a while.

Fang Yuan’s eyes shined with bright light: “I sensed… a certain group of
heaven path dao marks!”

If he had to replace the word ‘sensed’, Fang Yuan would choose another
word, caught.

Originally, Fang Yuan knew about the heaven path dao marks in his body, but
he could only let them be. But now, when he could sense them, it meant that
these heaven path dao marks were under his control temporarily.

With this crucial breakthrough and Fang Yuan’s expertise in Gu refinement, it

was only a matter of time until he refined all of these heaven path dao marks
into his own.
Chapter 2032: Target, Crazed Demon Cave
Rumble!

With a loud sound, Dragon Palace shook intensely from the impact, a large
portion of its roof cracked and fell. While falling, these fragments turned into
Gu worm corpses, scattered by the intense winds in the sky.

Spectral Soul had caught up!

He was extremely fast, even though Wu Shuai was moving Dragon Palace at
top speed, he could not reach Spectral Soul’s speed.

Spectral Soul’s body was covered in pitch black smoke, each time he
attacked, Dragon Palace suffered great damage.

Wu Shuai had to put in his effort to repair it, thankfully, he had many Gu
worms in his storage, he was amply prepared.

Fang Yuan frowned tightly, his expression was slightly grim.

He came to Heavenly Court using Qi Sea Ancestor’s identity to find a way to

resolve his heaven path dao mark problem. Once his goal was achieved, he
chose to retreat, Fang Yuan had never cared about the title of the number one
demon.

However, even though Fang Yuan got what he wanted, he needed time now,
what he lacked was sufficient time to execute his plan.

“Now, Spectral Soul is chasing after me, Heavenly Court will do the same,
these people will not let me retreat easily. It is very difficult to escape from
this situation!”

Fang Yuan’s movement ability had always been improving. Long ago, his
strongest movement method was the killer move sword escape after
transforming into an ancient sword dragon. After that was Omni-directional
Travel, followed by Fixed Immortal Travel and the killer move comprising
Fixed Immortal Travel as the core.

But among these methods, even Omni-directional Travel could not match
Spectral Soul’s speed. Fixed Immortal Travel’s killer move might be usable
but Fang Yuan was very weak now from the disturbance of the heaven path
dao marks.

There was still some time until Fang Yuan could resolve this disturbance and
fully refine the heaven path dao marks.

Fang Yuan tried to think about it from another perspective, be they Spectral
Soul or Heavenly Court, they wanted him dead. The former used all of his
accumulations to refine sovereign immortal fetus Gu but Fang Yuan snatched
it away. The latter’s headquarters were ravaged by Fang Yuan, their biggest
pillar of support, fate Gu, was also destroyed by him. Heavenly Court was
the leader of the righteous path, they cared about reputation, but in the fate
war, Fang Yuan destroyed their reputation.

Before now, Heavenly Court could not find Fang Yuan so they did not do
anything to him. In the future, when he recovered his strength, they would
also be unable to deal with him.

Now that Heavenly Court found Fang Yuan, they would definitely try their
best to kill him!

Such opportunities seldom knock twice, they could not let this chance slip by.

Fang Yuan knew about his circumstances clearly, thoughts collided in his
mind continuously as he tried to find a solution for this problem.

But soon, his expression changed.

The heaven path dao marks on his body started to transform again, causing
problems, their disturbance became stronger by several times.

When dealing with the qi wall earlier, even though Fang Yuan caused a huge
scene, he was actually cooperating with Qi Sea Ancestor secretly, his true
battle strength was not as it appeared.

But just this much, with Fang Yuan secretly using human path methods to
counter the interruption of the heaven path dao marks, was already the
greatest limit.

Externally, Spectral Soul was attacking Dragon Palace furiously, the walls
were cracking, tiles were sent flying all over the place. Internally, the heaven
path dao marks were wreaking havoc in his body, preventing Fang Yuan from
doing anything.

The situation was dangerous, even surpassing the fate war. After all, Fang
Yuan could still use Spring Autumn Cicada then, but now, this greatest trump
card was unusable.

Fang Yuan could not rebirth, if he made a mistake now, he would die a pitiful
death.

Spectral Soul emanated deep killing intent, it pierced through Dragon Palace,
Fang Yuan’s hair stood on ends.

Fang Yuan’s lips curled up, he had already made a decision —

Head to Crazed Demon Cave!

The heaven path dao marks were interfering with Fang Yuan, preventing him
from using many killer moves. Even if he could use them, the effect would be
very low.

Fang Yuan had to borrow external help to alleviate this crisis.

Any other location would not be very helpful to Fang Yuan. After all, Dragon
Palace was the one escaping and moving at the front, if he entered a
dangerous place, Dragon Palace would face the brunt of the danger. The
pursuer would benefit instead, Spectral Soul would have an easier time.

But Crazed Demon Cave was different. At the lower levels of Crazed Demon
Cave, Fang Yuan could use the sovereign immortal body to travel to the next
layer quickly, the rest would all be stopped in their tracks.
As for whether Spectral Soul could pass through, Fang Yuan did not know,
but it was worth a gamble. Spectral Soul was not in perfect condition after
all, he also did not have the sovereign immortal body!

“Even if Spectral Soul can forcefully make his way through, his battle
strength would suffer. The lower layers are also extremely huge and
mysterious, I can definitely stall for time against Spectral Soul in there.”

Fang Yuan made up his mind, he immediately moved Dragon Palace in

another direction, towards the north.

As for Wu Shuai, he focused on repairing Dragon Palace.

Spectral Soul saw that Dragon Palace was escaping, he breathed in deeply
before rapidly approaching it.

He extended his hand and landed on Dragon Palace. Next, countless

immemorial soul beast silhouettes flickered, each time they attacked, a piece
of Dragon Palace’s walls shattered.

After an entire round of attacks, several pillars holding up Dragon Palace

had cracks emerging.

Wu Shuai had a solemn expression: “Oh no, this killer move is extremely
powerful, it can attack the Immortal Gu House both internally and externally.
The core Immortal Gu of Dragon Palace are quite damaged!”

Fang Yuan’s main body squinted his eyes, Dragon Palace’s door was shut but
his vision was unobstructed, he could see the situation outside.

Fang Yuan said calmly: “Spectral Soul used this soul path killer move
earlier, but it is much stronger now. Evidently, he has modified it during this
bit of time!”

This was truly terrifying.

Spectral Soul had great strength, even though he was no longer rank nine, he
was definitely at Duke Long’s level of battle strength.
Even though he lost most of his attainment levels, it seemed that soul path did
not fall by too much.

Even though Spectral Soul had only fought Dragon Palace for a short while,
he had already comprehended the weaknesses of Dragon Palace, he could
modify his killer moves to show much greater effect.

Furthermore, Spectral Soul had abundant battle experience, far deeper than
Fang Yuan, during his era, he was renowned for killing everything in his way
in the entire world!

After several more rounds, Dragon Palace could not resist Spectral Soul
anymore, Fang Yuan sighed as he sent out another Immortal Gu House.

It was a silver-white ship with a long and thin body, it flew like a flying
sword with silver light shining around it, stabbing towards Spectral Soul.

It was Myriad Year Flying Warship.

Spectral Soul moved in a flicker and dodged it easily.

Myriad Year Flying Warship turned around and used a killer move, targeting
Spectral Soul.

At once, Dragon Palace tried to escape while Myriad Year Flying Warship
helped to defend it. Spectral Soul chased after them with immense demonic
might, the winds and clouds were raging around him.

Fang Yuan’s main body was disrupted by the heaven path dao marks, but
because Immortal Gu Houses were individual structures, they were not
restricted by this problem.

As long as the Immortal Gu House had Fang Yuan’s will and immortal
essence, Myriad Year Flying Warship could still continue to fight.

However, Spectral Soul had formidable strength and all sorts of killer
moves, not only were they strong and hard to defend against, they mostly had
peculiar effects and easily overwhelmed Fang Yuan’s efforts, allowing
Spectral Soul to firmly control this situation.
Even with the power of two rank eight Immortal Gu Houses, he was not
Spectral Soul’s match.

“Most importantly, the Twelve Zodiac battle formation was completely

destroyed during the fate war. Otherwise, with the combination of Twelve
Zodiac battle formation and Myriad Year Flying Warship, even Spectral Soul
would have some problems against them.”

Fang Yuan considered the situation and did not change his plan, he still
focused on escaping.

After getting the heaven path research results, Fang Yuan just needed time to
gather his advantage. As long as he survives this problem, after he resolved
the problem of the heaven path dao marks, it would be Fang Yuan’s turn to
shine.

Spectral Soul was going all-out on offense. In his opinion, this was the best
opportunity to kill Fang Yuan and reclaim the sovereign immortal body. Not
just the sovereign immortal body, he could also get the dream realms that
Fang Yuan obtained. Spectral Soul would be able to regain all of his
attainment levels as a result.

In this world, what could allow Spectral Soul to rapidly regain his strength?
Undoubtedly, it was Fang Yuan! Fang Yuan was simply a moving treasure
chest in Spectral Soul’s eyes.

“Spectral Soul, die! I want you to die!!” Qing Chou approached him with
wind and lightning surrounding it.

Myriad Year Flying Warship and Dragon Palace fought against Spectral Soul
while moving, they could not travel quickly. Thus, Qing Chou caught up to
them.

Qing Chou’s eyes were blood red, its face was distorted in a terrifying
manner, it only cared about Spectral Soul!

In just this period of time, the rank nine aura of the hatred Gu within it got
denser again, it was quite shocking to see.
Qing Chou got stronger again!

It growled, a human-faced lightning ball flew out of its throat.

The lightning ball was extremely fast, green-black in color, it was eerie and
icy, moving without a sound.

Spectral Soul waved his hand, a giant whip made of black fog appeared,
seeking to send the lightning ball flying.

But the face on the lightning ball snickered as it raised its speed, avoiding the
whip as it approached Spectral Soul.

Spectral Soul was about to use another killer move when the lightning ball
self-detonated.

Rumble!

The might of the explosion was terrifying, Spectral Soul was sent flying far
away.

The range of the explosion was wide, even Dragon Palace and Myriad Year
Flying Warship were not spared, they both suffered some damage.

Qing Chou endured the aftermath of the explosion as it approached Spectral

Soul relentlessly.

“This senseless beast!” After being disrupted for multiple times, Spectral
Soul felt deeply enraged.

Fang Yuan used the chance to flee.

Spectral Soul saw Dragon Palace’s movement and became even more angry:
“Little scoundrel, don’t think of escaping!”

Dragon Palace’s speed fell instantly.

At the areas where Dragon Palace was damaged, black smoke appeared and
lowered its speed severely.
“What killer move is this? When did Spectral Soul use it?” Fang Yuan was
shocked, at once, he had an idea of moving into Myriad Year Flying Warship
instead.

But regrettably, black smoke also appeared on Myriad Year Flying Warship,
it moved slowly too.

The black smoke faded away very quickly but Spectral Soul also regained
his momentum, after forcing Qing Chou away, he approached Dragon Palace
again.

At once, the three parties engaged in a chaotic battle.

Fang Yuan wanted to shrug off Spectral Soul but Qing Chou was
overwhelmed with rage, it did not have any intention to cooperate with him.

Qing Chou only wanted to take revenge on Spectral Soul, it did not care
about Fang Yuan, almost all of its moves also implicated Dragon Palace. At
times, to protect himself, Fang Yuan had to fight Qing Chou as well.

After some time, Spectral Soul regained the upper hand again.

Even though he was just the soul of Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, his
battle strength was extremely high, he also fought differently from Duke
Long’s dominance, he was more skilled at using ruthless attacks with
piercing killing intent, he was vicious and maniacal.

But he had a terrifyingly clear understanding of the situation, he often made

use of his opponent’s methods to make them cancel out each other’s moves.

Spectral Soul slowly attacked less and less, but in this chaotic fight, his
advantage was rising bit by bit.

After noticing this, even Fang Yuan’s heart was turning cold.
Chapter 2033: Chaotic Battle
“In terms of battle experience, I cannot compare to Spectral Soul!” During
the three way chaotic battle, Fang Yuan sensed the difference between him
and his enemy. Even though he had been reborn many times, in terms of total
battle experience, Fang Yuan could not compare to a venerable.

“The main problem is that Qing Chou is not being logical, even though it
attacks ferociously, it ignores its own condition, Spectral Soul made use of it
many times. If this were a conscious Qing Chou, the battle would not be like
this.”

Fang Yuan felt the situation was unfortunate in his heart. Even though hatred
Gu was progressing towards rank nine and Qing Chou was getting stronger,
without any wisdom, no matter how strong it was, it was still toyed around
by Spectral Soul.

Even after using Dragon Palace and Myriad Year Flying Warship, Fang Yuan
still felt helpless. This was something that had never happened before.

Fang Yuan was still focusing on retreating, he fought while escaping.

Even though he was the weaker side now, as long as Spectral Soul could not
activate a battlefield killer move to trap him, Fang Yuan was still free to
escape.

Dragon Palace was the first to break through the heavenly wind qi wall,
heading towards Central Continent. Myriad Year Flying Warship did its best
to protect it.

Spectral Soul moved behind like a trail of black smoke, following after them
closely.

Behind them were Qing Chou’s colossal body, crashing through the qi wall
and leaving immemorial white heaven, reaching Central Continent.
Qi Sea Ancestor, Qin Ding Ling, and the rest had all left Heavenly Court,
they were chasing behind.

When they found that Fang Yuan and the rest had entered Central Continent,
Heavenly Court’s immortals became anxious.

“This scoundrel Fang Yuan could’ve traveled through the vast immemorial
white heaven but he chose to go to Central Continent. Since he is in trouble,
he wants to implicate the innocent people as well, he truly deserves a pitiful
death!”

Qi Sea Ancestor snorted coldly: “Fang Yuan has been a problem for too long,
if we can kill him this time, it would be the fortune of the people in the
world.”

As he said that, he used a secret method to tell the main body about their
movement.

Fang Yuan immediately understood that Heavenly Court’s pursuers were

arriving soon. But he had no solution, his speed was greatly dragged down
by Spectral Soul.

When Heavenly Court’s group arrived, they found that Spectral Soul was
suppressing Fang Yuan and Qing Chou.

Qin Ding Ling frowned as she hesitated, telling Qi Sea Ancestor: “Ancestor,
please deal with Fang Yuan, kill him with your full strength.”

But how could Qi Sea Ancestor attack the main body, he pondered and said:
“In this situation, Fang Yuan is weak while Spectral Soul is strong. They are
both demonic path overlords, if we deal with Fang Yuan and get hit by his
final trump cards, Spectral Soul will be the eventual winner.”

Qin Ding Ling shook her head: “Ancestor, you are not familiar with Fang
Yuan, he is too crafty, he definitely has methods left unused. Maybe this
situation is only a layer of his concealment, we need to kill him now, we
cannot give him any opportunities.”
Qi Sea Ancestor: “…”

Heavenly Court had suffered too much at Fang Yuan’s hands, Qin Ding Ling’s
wariness and fear towards Fang Yuan surpassed even Spectral Soul!

But thinking about it, when Spectral Soul Demon Venerable was invincible in
the world, he did not deal so much damage to Heavenly Court compared to
the current Fang Yuan. It was quite easy to understand how Qin Ding Ling
and the others felt like this.

Qi Sea Ancestor could only ask the main body secretly, what were they going
to do?

If there was no choice, Qi Sea Ancestor would have to expose himself and
fight Spectral Soul so that the main body could escape.

Fang Yuan replied: “Don’t worry, let me try something first.”

Dragon Palace’s door opened, a Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique body
flew out.

Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique flew towards Spectral Soul, the latter’s
pupils shrank as he retreated immediately.

Bam.

The Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique body self-detonated, turning into a
large lump of dream realm that floated in the sky, turning into a barrier.

Dragon Palace and Myriad Year Flying Warship used this chance to pull
some distance away from them.

Spectral Soul got around the dream realm as he chased again.

But Qing Chou could not think properly, it got trapped in the dream realm.

Roar—!
The aura of hatred Gu burst out of Qing Chou’s body as it broke free from the
dream realm, it chased after them again.

“This is?!”

“Qing Chou actually broke away from the dream realm, it was not trapped?”

“It’s hatred Gu! <<The Legends of Ren Zu>> has a vague description about it
— hatred has no dreams!”

Fang Yuan was also quite shocked about this.

Qing Chou did not have any dream path methods but it used hatred Gu to
break free. Dream path was ahead of the current era, it was unstoppable, but
it could not stop Qing Chou’s hatred Gu?

“Hatred has no dreams… or rather, against rank nine hatred Gu, the dream
realm was not big enough?” Fang Yuan had a thought.

It was like the killer move dreamy light smoke, if it landed on Spectral Soul,
it would only trap him for some time before he got free, Dragon Palace
would shatter from the internal impact.

Dreamy light smoke was too weak against Spectral Soul, but if it rose to rank
nine level, the situation would be different.

Even so, when Spectral Soul was attacked with dreamy light smoke, he
would still dodge it without hesitation.

He was very fast, moving like a specter, in close distance, it was almost the
same as teleportation, it was too hard for dreamy light smoke to hit him.

However, the good thing for Fang Yuan was that Spectral Soul could not deal
with dream realms currently.

“I obtained the Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique method from Shadow
Sect, Spectral Soul definitely knows about it. However, he lacks the crucial
Immortal Gu, he cannot use relevant killer moves.”
After sensing this, Fang Yuan immediately created many Pure Dream Reality
Seeker Physique bodies and self-detonated them.

Bang bang bang bang.

In the blink of an eye, Dragon Palace and Myriad Year Flying Warship were
surrounded by dream realms, there was no gap between them.

Spectral Soul snorted coldly, stopping his attacks.

“This Fang Yuan…” Qin Ding Ling gritted her teeth, Fang Yuan’s method was
too shameless, Heavenly Court had no way to deal with it.

“Be careful of Spectral Soul!” Qi Sea Ancestor reminded them.

Fang Yuan suddenly enclosed himself, Heavenly Court’s members were in an

awkward spot.

Spectral Soul looked at them coldly, Qi Sea Ancestor stood in front of them
steadfastly.

Qing Chou growled angrily, it attacked Spectral Soul again without fear.

Spectral Soul said in displeasure: “Lowly beast! Since you want to die, I
will grant you your wish.”

His body vanished on the spot, at the next moment, he appeared on Qing
Chou’s back. But right when Spectral Soul was about to attack Qing Chou, a
qi path killer move shot towards him.

Spectral Soul had no choice but to resist it, Qing Chou used the chance to
move away, it spat out a human-faced lightning ball again, escaping danger.

Spectral Soul looked at Qi Sea Ancestor with a cold gaze. Earlier, Qi Sea
Ancestor was the one who attacked him.

Qi Sea Ancestor looked at Spectral Soul warily, at the same time, he

explained to Qin Ding Ling: “We cannot let Spectral Soul succeed. He seems
to be able to absorb the power of the immemorial soul beast, is it possible
for Heavenly Court to capture Qing Chou again?”

Qin Ding Ling sighed: “We have already lost the best opportunity. Qing
Chou’s strength rose greatly, we need to find another opportunity in order to
forcefully refine hatred Gu.”

Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals did not blame Qi Sea Ancestor for making a
move on his own, after all, what he did was very logical. From the Heavenly
Court Gu Immortals’ perspective, Fang Yuan was trapped in the dream realm
now, Qi Sea Ancestor was helping Qing Chou to attack Spectral Soul for the
sake of Heavenly Court.

At the next moment, Spectral Soul attacked the Heavenly Court immortals.

Qing Chou followed closely behind him.

The three sided chaotic battle started again, but this time, Heavenly Court
took the role of Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan was temporarily safe, he only had to take note of the moving
dream realms. To form a tight defense, he needed to self-detonate Pure
Dream Reality Seeker Physique bodies to fix any gaps in his defensive line.

Immortal killer move — Yin-yang Great Killer Hands!

Rumble!

With a loud explosion, two huge hands, one black and one white, appeared
out of nowhere.

The two hands were so large they could loom over heaven and earth, they
had an intrinsic pattern, at this moment, they grabbed at Spectral Soul.

Spectral Soul suddenly shouted shrilly, when he appeared again, he was

already right in front of Qi Sea Ancestor. At the center of the yin-yang hands
where Spectral Soul was originally at, there was an immemorial soul beast.
Spectral Soul shot out a wave of black smoke that landed on Qi Sea
Ancestor.

Immortal killer move — Heavenly Combat Cloak!

Qi Sea Ancestor retreated, heavenly combat cloak melted from the effect of
the black smoke, but this strange move was blocked after all.

Even though Qi Sea Ancestor was a newly created clone of Fang Yuan’s, he
had incredible strength from originally being Heavenly Court’s qi harvest
fruit. With sufficient qi path Immortal Gu, his battle strength was not any
lower than before.

Even so, Qi Sea Ancestor was suppressed by Spectral Soul, the situation
was getting increasingly passive.

Qin Ding Ling led the Heavenly Court immortals to help Qi Sea Ancestor,
she also ordered Spirit Affinity House to send Feng Jin Huang over to the
fight.

Feng Jin Huang had dream path Immortal Gu, she could use pure dream
reality seeker transformation to break Fang Yuan’s defensive line.

Qin Ding Ling’s target had always been Fang Yuan!

Fang Yuan’s main body hid inside Dragon Palace as he watched the battle,
using all of his time to refine as many heaven path dao marks as possible.

“Master, we have arrived!” During the chaotic battle, Fairy Zi Wei and Old
Man Zheng Yuan led their group as they entered the battlefield.

Before Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals could react to it, far away, someone
flew over as well.

“Let this old man join in the fun as well.”

It was Demon Immortal Qi Jue!

Chapter 2034: Everyone Wants to Kill Fang Yuan
In this three sided chaotic battle, the appearance of Fairy Zi Wei’s group and
Demon Immortal Qi Jue made the situation increasingly complex.

“Go and block Heavenly Court.” Spectral Soul ordered.

Fairy Zi Wei and Old Man Zheng Yuan quickly attacked with killer moves,
the shining wave of attacks assaulted Qin Ding Ling and the rest with
ferocity.

Other than Qi Sea Ancestor, Qin Ding Ling and the rest were all inside their
Immortal Gu Houses, they were not afraid of Spectral Soul’s reinforcements.

Heavenly Court’s immortals were only furious, they were not angry about
Fairy Zi Wei and Old Man Zheng Yuan’s betrayal but the fact that he used a
vicious method to enslave them.

Heavenly Court believed in Fairy Zi Wei’s and Old Man Zheng Yuan’s
loyalty. They knew that it was because of Spectral Soul that they betrayed
Heavenly Court.

Spectral Soul snickered: “How does it feel to fight against your former
allies? It will be up to you to save them, if you miss this opportunity, you will
likely never have another chance in the future.”

Heavenly Court’s immortals heard this, their attacks halted for a moment.

Qin Ding Ling had sharp brows, she frowned as she ordered: “Spectral Soul
wants to make us unwilling to attack, he is stalling for time. Forget about Zi
Wei’s and Zheng Yuan’s lives, killing them is the same as releasing them from
this predicament!”

At the crucial moment, Qin Ding Ling displayed the foresight of a leader, she
showed her resolute nature.

Spectral Soul heard this, he frowned lightly.

He started to act more quickly, attacking Qing Chou again.

Fighting against him, Qing Chou soon got suppressed.

“Stop him!” Seeing that Spectral Soul was trying the same thing again to
extract Qing Chou’s strength, Qin Ding Ling shouted: “Ancestor, please stop
him!”

Even without her reminder, Qi Sea Ancestor had already flown towards
Spectral Soul.

But at the next moment, a gush of qi currents flew out like a heavenly river,
obstructing Qi Sea Ancestor.

Qi Sea Ancestor stopped his movement, he looked at the attacker: “Qi Jue!”

Demon Immortal Qi Jue smiled lightly, blocking his path: “Qi Sea, our
previous battle was interrupted by Heavenly Court, that was not satisfying.
Let us fight fairly this time.”

The hearts of Heavenly Court’s immortals sank.

At the crucial moment, Demon Immortal Qi Jue actually came to help

Spectral Soul!

What sort of agreement did they make?

Fairy Zi Wei was surprised too, Demon Immortal Qi Jue was definitely an
unexpectedly strong reinforcement!

Purple light flickered in her eyes as she realized: “Long ago, Demon
Immortal Qi Jue had already started buying all sorts of inheritances in
treasure yellow heaven of various paths. He is from the Olden Antiquity Era,
he revived after the destruction of fate Gu. Using these inheritances, he can
catch up to the current great era!”

“The reason why Qi Jue is helping us is likely because master made a deal
with him, he sold a large number of inheritances.”
Fairy Zi Wei made an accurate guess.

Even though Demon Immortal Qi Jue did not expose his identity in treasure
yellow heaven, he did not conceal himself either, his intentions were clearly
known to everyone.

Since Heavenly Court could notice Demon Immortal Qi Jue’s actions, why
wouldn’t Spectral Soul?

Because of historical reasons, Demon Immortal Qi Jue would not cooperate

with Heavenly Court. But Spectral Soul was also in the demonic path, he had
a vast number of inheritances, he was the most ideal person to transact with
Qi Jue.

“Fang Yuan, you cannot escape today.” Spectral Soul smiled coldly, he
arrived at Qing Chou’s back again.

At the next moment, he attacked!

Qing Chou growled angrily but its strength was being absorbed by Spectral
Soul. As an immemorial soul beast, even with the quasi-rank nine hatred Gu,
Qing Chou was completely countered by Spectral Soul.

Qing Chou’s aura fell greatly while Spectral Soul became more energized
and lively.

After he finished his absorption, he kicked, Qing Chou fell towards the
ground.

Next, he charged towards Fang Yuan at lightning speed.

Immortal killer move — Pure Dream Reality Seeker Transformation!

The dream realms surrounding Dragon Palace had a huge chunk missing, they
turned into Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique bodies as they flew into
Spectral Soul’s immortal aperture.

Spectral Soul actually had enough Immortal Gu to unleash the killer move,
pure dream reality seeker transformation!
He had purposely let Fang Yuan go earlier without using this move, now that
he got rid of Qing Chou, he let his reinforcements block Heavenly Court and
Qi Sea Ancestor while he finally went after Fang Yuan!

All the immortals were shaken.

The battle had been in Spectral Soul’s grasp since the start.

In history, Spectral Soul was renowned for his killing intent, but that did not
mean that he could only kill to solve his problems. He was aloof, crafty, and
vicious, but when he was alive, he had no need to use any of these methods,
his own strength was sufficient to kill all problems.

But now that Spectral Soul’s strength was not much higher than his enemies,
he started to use various methods to complement his battle strength.

At once, a large number of dream realms were reclaimed by Spectral Soul.

Fairy Zi Wei and the rest fought against Heavenly Court while Qi Sea
Ancestor battled Demon Immortal Qi Jue, facing a disadvantage.

Demon Immortal Qi Jue had the secluded domain of heaven and earth, ‘Xi’,
he resisted Qi Sea Ancestor, who cultivated qi path.

The situation was critical, Fang Yuan could not use the dream realms to stop
his enemies anymore.

The door of Dragon Palace suddenly opened, several Pure Dream Reality
Seeker Physique bodies flew out of his dream realm defensive line, directly
heading for Spectral Soul.

Boom boom boom.

The Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique bodies self-detonated, creating

dream realms in the air.

Spectral Soul quickly dodged them, he managed to avoid being trapped by

the dream realms.
But using this chance, Wu Shuai moved Dragon Palace out of the dream
realm circle through one of the gaps, with Myriad Year Flying Warship
following behind closely.

The intent of the two Immortal Gu Houses was obvious.

“Where are you trying to go?!” Spectral Soul shouted as he got past the
dream realms, approaching them again.

Fang Yuan was his main target, he needed to be killed.

This was a prime opportunity, Spectral Soul was going to follow Fang Yuan
no matter where he went.

Spectral Soul stared at Dragon Palace and Myriad Year Flying Warship, his
eyes flickering with killing intent and determination!

At the next moment, Dragon Palace and Myriad Year Flying Warship split up,
they escaped in two directions.

Spectral Soul was dazed.

What should he do?

When Myriad Year Flying Warship and Dragon Palace were inside the ring
of dream realms, they were isolated from the outside, Spectral Soul had no
idea which one Fang Yuan was hiding in.

There was only one Spectral Soul, he could not chase after both Immortal Gu
Houses.

But Spectral Soul made his decision almost instantly, he shouted: “Demon
Immortal Qi Jue, chase after Myriad Year Flying Warship! After we succeed,
I will not stint on your reward.”

Demon Immortal Qi Jue chuckled as he used Xi Land to absorb one of Qi Sea

Ancestor’s killer moves, he easily moved away and chased after Myriad
Year Flying Warship.
Spectral Soul went after Dragon Palace instead.

After receiving his orders, Fairy Zi Wei started to retreat.

“What do we do?” Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals asked Qin Ding Ling.

Qin Ding Ling looked at Fairy Zi Wei and the rest, saying without hesitation:
“Kill Fang Yuan first!”

But the problem that Spectral Soul faced earlier was also happening to
Heavenly Court, which Immortal Gu House was Fang Yuan in?

“Do we just pick one and gamble on our luck?” Qin Ding Ling frowned, even
though she was not willing to do that, Heavenly Court lacked wisdom path
Gu Immortals, they could only do this.

“I can help you people.” Fairy Zi Wei suddenly stopped her movement as she
said: “I have a way to deduce Fang Yuan’s location.”

Heavenly Court’s immortals were dazed.

“What method? How long will it take?” Qi Sea Ancestor asked.

“With our help, it will only take a moment.” Bing Sai Chuan’s voice
resounded, everyone turned around, seeing that Calamity Luck Altar had
arrived.

“They finally arrived.” Fairy Zi Wei let out a breath of air.

She was obviously the one who asked the Longevity Heaven members to
come. Earlier, Fairy Zi Wei and the rest received orders from Spectral Soul
to deceive Longevity Heaven and assault Heavenly Court on their own. But
the situation changed too quickly, on the way here, Fairy Zi Wei analyzed the
situation and made the plan to use Longevity Heaven’s strength.

After getting Spectral Soul’s permission, Fairy Zi Wei contacted Longevity

Heaven immediately.
As Calamity Luck Altar approached, Bing Sai Chuan said: “Our lord said
that this world does not need too many chess players.”

The immortals’ hearts shook.

Bing Sai Chuan’s lord was obviously Giant Sun Immortal Venerable.

All the signs showed that this venerable had deep aspirations, he still had
abundant will and strength left in the world.

In the current situation, Fang Yuan was the most likely person to become
venerable. Immortal zombie Giant Sun did not want this to happen, thus, he
changed his plan and decided to kill Fang Yuan before he could grow fully!

Qin Ding Ling gritted her teeth, she was stuck at a difficult contemplation.

Cooperate with Spectral Soul and Longevity Heaven?

The former was a demonic path venerable, the latter was a strong foe during
the fate war, they were all responsible for the destruction of fate!

Ally with them?

Qin Ding Ling only thought about it for a few breaths of time before she
squeezed out a word: “Alright.”

Like what Bing Sai Chuan said earlier, there was no need for too many chess
players in the world. Fang Yuan was destined to be their enemy, he was a
walking treasure chest, everyone wanted to kill him first, after that, Heavenly
Court would deal with Spectral Soul and Giant Sun!
Chapter 2035: Qing Clans Revenge
2035 Qing Clan“s Revenge Rough winds howled in the desert, while the
oasis carried a warm breeze.

Sandstones piled into a mountain as hot steam rose. There was a calm lake
beneath the sandstones, green trees were growing as their leaves rustled
under the evening wind, creating the scene of a paradise in Western Desert.

Western Desert’s Qing clan’s base was situated at this oasis that was called
the ‘Qing oasis’.

Qing clan’s Gu Immortals were all gathered in a hall. On the icy cold floor of
the hall, there were several fragments of Gu worms, all of the Qing clan Gu
Immortals were fixing their gazes on these fragments.

“Qing Heng’s life tablet Gu shattered?!”

“What is happening?”

“Qing Heng died, he had left to hunt the Southern Border Gu Immortal Ming
You. Did he really die at Ming You’s hands?”

Qing Heng was a rank seven expert of Qing clan, even though he was sent by
the clan to kill Ming You, the clan was very confident in him. Recently for
some reason, news that Qing clan obtained Divine Bean Palace had spread,
all the other super forces were probing them. With Qing Heng’s death, Qing
clan became suspicious about the truth, was this a test by the Western Desert
forces?

“Report—! We have accurate information, Ming You was the one who killed
Qing Heng, he has great strength and acts ruthlessly.”

Qing clan flew into a rage.

“This Gu Immortal from another region has gone too far!”

“We need to kill this Ming You, we will grind his bones to dust, we will
show the other Western Desert super forces the consequences of offending
our Qing clan!”

“Before killing him, we should capture this Ming You and invite the other
Western Desert Gu Immortals to watch. Only by pulling out his tendons and
ripping his skin in public, to humiliate and torture him to death, can I feel
satisfied from this revenge.”

“Kill!”

“Kill him!”

“He is merely a Gu Immortal from another region, he came to Western Desert

alone, he actually dared to kill our Gu Immortal, he truly has no fear of
heaven and earth.”

“Even though Ming You was able to kill Qing Heng, he only has rank seven
cultivation level, if first supreme elder takes action, it would be too
excessive, rumors would also spread that our Qing clan is bullying the weak.
In my opinion, we should send out Qing Jing and Qing Hua Lan.”

“No, to play safe, we should send Qing Chen as well. With three immortals,
they will definitely be able to capture that Ming You alive!”

“Let him experience regret and pain.”

“Hurry! Don’t let that scoundrel escape.”

“Kill Ming You, display the might of Qing clan!”

“Ming You must die, when our clan refines Divine Bean Palace in the future,
our Qing clan will stand at the top of Western Desert’s Gu Immortal world!!”

These sentences echoed in Qing Chou’s ears, the scenes of the past flashed in
Qing Chou’s mind.
Different from its usual fragmented memories, this time, its memory was very
clear and complete. At the same time, the hatred in its heart surged in a
tsunami, rampaging in Qing Chou’s entire body and mind.

Hatred!

Deep hatred!

Feeling increasingly intense hatred, Qing Chou opened its eyes.

Time flew by quickly, countless years had passed since then.

Qing Chou’s eyes were bloodshot.

It found that it was still lying on the ground, recalling that when fighting
Spectral Soul earlier, it was sent flying to the ground, crashing and falling
unconscious.

“Roar!”

Qing Chou roared as it stood up within the deep pit.

The rank nine aura of hatred Gu became even denser, the power of hatred
surged throughout Qing Chou’s body.

“Ming You, Ming You!”

“Spectral Soul, Spectral Soul!”

Qing Chou roared towards the sky, its eyes were covered in rage, its hair
was disheveled, even though Spectral Soul had already gone after Dragon
Palace, the power of hatred Gu allowed Qing Chou to locate Spectral Soul
easily without a problem.

Rumble!

Qing Chou had a mountain-like tortoise shell, tiger claws and dragon tail, as
well as a snake neck and human head, it flew up rapidly as winds surrounded
it, charging towards the direction of Spectral Soul. As for Fairy Zi Wei and
the rest who were creating a formation in the sky, it ignored them.

Among these Gu Immortals in the sky, there was one elderly Gu Immortal, he
had wide sleeves and fluttering white hair, he was Fang Yuan’s clone, Qi Sea
Ancestor.

Seeing that Qing Chou was flying away, Qi Sea Ancestor let out a breath of
air, no longer worried.

Earlier in Western Desert, even though Fang Yuan used familiar face to
transform, he was still chased by Qing Chou.

Qing Chou possessed hatred Gu, because of the influence of karma divine
tree, it had an intense connection to Spectral Soul and everyone related to
him.

Fang Yuan’s main body could not deceive Qing Chou while Qi Sea Ancestor
was Fang Yuan’s clone, he would definitely be sensed by Qing Chou as well.

But now, Spectral Soul and Fang Yuan were enemies, they wanted each other
to die, thus, because of their changed relationship, Qing Chou no longer went
after him.

“Even though Qing Chou’s threat is gone, Fairy Zi Wei is still a big
problem.” Qi Sea Ancestor cast his gaze at Fairy Zi Wei.

Fairy Zi Wei wore a purple-gold dress, she had a graceful figure with hair
that extended to her waist. She moved mysteriously as she flew in the sky, her
fingers fluttering like butterflies in the sky, countless Gu worms were sent out
and used together, in the sky, an amazing wisdom path immortal formation
was already taking shape, one could see its form already.

Old Man Zheng Yuan assisted at the side.

Qin Ding Ling, Che Wei, and the other Heavenly Court Gu Immortals looked
at Fairy Zi Wei, they had complex emotions, there was hatred, anger, pity,
and sadness.
There was a round altar that was almost in contact with the wisdom path
formation, floating in the sky. It had white jade railings and shining aurora,
this was rank eight Immortal Gu House Calamity Luck Altar.

Calamity Luck Altar was controlled by Bing Sai Chuan, he had a sharp gaze
as he looked at Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals and Qi Sea Ancestor, not
daring to relax his mind.

Calamity Luck Altar protected Fairy Zi Wei and the rest, as well as the
wisdom path formation.

Longevity Heaven, who represented Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, had

already cooperated with Spectral Soul’s Shadow Sect long ago.

“Fang Yuan has the potential to become a venerable, we cannot let him do as
he pleases. If such a person becomes a venerable, it will not benefit any of
us.” Bing Sai Chuan transmitted, he tried to convince Qi Sea Ancestor, Qin
Ding Ling, and the rest, not knowing that Fang Yuan’s clone was right here.

Qin Ding Ling only listened to him, she did not reply.

The winds howled around her, causing her cape to flutter, she wore a tight
golden armor and was tall and grand, she had a valiant demeanor.

She stared at the wisdom path formation at times, looking at the dream realms
occasionally.

This dream realm was left behind by Fang Yuan. He had originally tried to
use the dream realms to stop his enemies, but Spectral Soul plotted against
him instead. Fang Yuan had to escape from this battlefield, this dream realm
was left behind, shining and moving on its own continuously.

“Where is Fang Yuan now? I only saw that Dragon Palace and Myriad Year
Flying Warship flew out of the dream realm and escaped the battlefield.
There is a third possibility, he is still hiding in this dream realm!” Qin Ding
Ling thought to herself.
Precisely because of this reason, she stayed behind to guard this dream
realm.

Fang Yuan was too crafty, even though staying in the dream realm seemed
stupid, there was a chance that Fang Yuan might do this purposely.

Seeing that the wisdom path formation was completing, Qi Sea Ancestor felt
increasing pressure.

“I can’t wait anymore!” Thoughts collided in Qi Sea Ancestor’s mind, he

thought: “Looking at Fairy Zi Wei’s attitude, with Bai Ning Bing and Ying Wu
Xie at the lead, this formation might likely deduce the main body’s location.
The main body does not have much foundation in information path,
otherwise, if we could break our connection with Bai Ning Bing and Hei Lou
Lan, even three of Fairy Zi Wei combined would not be able to do anything.”

“Fairy Zi Wei and the rest have great strength, with Calamity Luck Altar’s
defense and Bing Sai Chuan’s wariness towards Heavenly Court, if I attack
now, I will not be able to destroy the formation, Heavenly Court would
instead get suspicious of me.”

The Qi Sea clone was powerful, but he could not turn this situation around
alone and suppress everyone, the key person now was still Qin Ding Ling!

Qi Sea Ancestor listened to Bing Sai Chuan’s words while asking Qin Ding
Ling in secret: “Looking at this situation, Shadow Sect and Longevity Heaven
think highly of this formation. But can we trust them? Regardless of whether
Fairy Zi Wei can deduce a result successfully, the formation is still under her
control. If she tells us a location, how do we ensure that it is right? Will
Fairy Zi Wei hide anything from us?”

The Qi Sea clone started to sow discord, he could not let Bing Sai Chuan
ally with the Heavenly Court Gu Immortals too. Otherwise, the main body
would face the pressure of Shadow Sect, Longevity Heaven, and Heavenly
Court, it would be too much!

If this was the Heavenly Court from Fang Yuan’s previous life, they would
definitely have no inclination to work with other forces.
But fate Gu was destroyed by Fang Yuan, Heavenly Court lost their greatest
spiritual banner, they also suffered many setbacks and lost a lot of reputation.
One could say that their title of the number one human force was already
undeserved, they faced a lot of criticism.

Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals were all elites, they learned from this lesson
and started to change. Qin Ding Ling was the leader of Heavenly Court, she
started to gather help and put down her pride, earlier, when Qin Ding Ling
took the initiative to help Qi Sea Ancestor chase away Demon Immortal Qi
Jue, it was the best proof of this.

Thus, the probability that Heavenly Court, Shadow Sect, and Longevity
Heaven would work together was not low.

The Qi Sea clone’s words were very effective, Heavenly Court and Fairy Zi
Wei could not trust each other. This way, even if Fairy Zi Wei’s deduction
succeeded, it would not have any meaning.

Qin Ding Ling was silent for a while before transmitting to Qi Sea Ancestor:
“I would like ancestor to go and chase after Dragon Palace and Spectral
Soul.”

Qi Sea Ancestor was slightly dazed: “Do you know the location of Fang
Yuan already?”

“I don’t.” Qin Ding Ling smiled at Qi Sea Ancestor.

The Qi Sea clone looked at Qin Ding Ling deeply in the eye, he realized that
Qin Ding Ling knew what she was doing, she had never trusted Shadow
Sect’s Fairy Zi Wei or Longevity Heaven, trusting them was stupid. The
reason she stayed behind was to guard the dream realm and also rest and
recover.

Heavenly Court lacked a peak rank eight battle strength, after leaving
Heavenly Court, they also lost their territorial advantage. They seemed
powerful and had great morale but if they were careless, they would suffer
huge losses.
Heavenly Court could not afford to lose anymore!

Qin Ding Ling had to be vigilant and careful.

Right now, Spectral Soul was chasing Dragon Palace, Qing Chou was
chasing Spectral Soul, while Demon Immortal Qi Jue was chasing Myriad
Year Flying Warship.

Qin Ding Ling knew that Demon Immortal Qi Jue, who had Xi Land, was Qi
Sea Ancestor’s greatest counter, even if Fang Yuan was inside Myriad Year
Flying Warship, Qi Sea Ancestor would not be able to do anything to Demon
Immortal Qi Jue even if he went there.

Instead, if Qi Sea Ancestor chased after Spectral Soul, he would be able to

influence the situation.

From Heavenly Court’s perspective, Fang Yuan was someone who needed to
die, Shadow Sect or Longevity Heaven were enemies as well. But Heavenly
Court’s strength was not like before, they were very weak, even though Qi
Sea Ancestor was on their side, he was still not their member after all.

Qin Ding Ling sighed deeply: “Fang Yuan is too crafty, even though him
splitting up seemed simple, it allowed the pressure on him to decrease
greatly, we have no choice but to stay behind and temporarily stop chasing
him.”

“Spectral Soul is stronger than Demon Immortal Qi Jue, if he kills Fang Yuan
and gets everything, this former Demon Venerable will rise up again!”

“Qi Sea Ancestor, we hope you can think for the sake of everyone in the
world, let these two demons fight it out while our righteous path remains
victorious in the end.”

Qin Ding Ling was a talented leader after all! Even though she was leading a
weaker Heavenly Court, she had never given up, she made plans to try and
raise their chances of victory as much as possible.
Chapter 2036: Strong, Weak
“Go.” Fairy Zi Wei called out as her fingers moved rapidly, producing
countless shadows. The killer move activated, a thousand Gu worms flew out
and turned into a vague purple shadow that filled up the final blank area of
the wisdom path formation.

The Gu Immortals watched were all first rate Gu Immortals in the entire five
regions, seeing this, they could not help but admit that Fairy Zi Wei was very
skilled at setting up formations.

Fairy Zi Wei let out a breath of air, perspiration gathering on her forehead.

Her eyes stared at the formation before her, at this point, it was time to add in
the core Immortal Gu.

This situation was quite peculiar, Fairy Zi Wei was setting up the formation
in front of many strong foes. There was a chance that these Gu Immortals
might attack her during the process, thus, Fairy Zi Wei used a rare method for
this arrangement, she first placed the mortal Gu and set up a bare framework
first, before filling it up with Immortal Gu at the end.

Fairy Zi Wei temporarily stopped her actions to catch a breather, she looked
at Qin Ding Ling and Calamity Luck Altar.

Calamity Luck Altar was shining in brilliant light, the Gu Immortal

controlling the Immortal Gu House, Bing Sai Chuan, knew about her worries,
he transmitted: “With my protection, you can rest assured, quickly set up the
formation.”

Fairy Zi Wei did not have Fang Yuan’s formation flag Gu, otherwise, she
would not need to set up this formation each time.

She knew that time was running out, after hearing Bing Sai Chuan’s words,
she started to put Immortal Gu into the formation.
Each time an Immortal Gu was placed, the formation would shake once and
shine in a beautiful purple light, the scene was incredibly beautiful, it was a
pity that none of the Gu Immortals had the mood to appreciate it.

Inside Calamity Luck Altar, Bing Sai Chuan stared at the formation, guarding
against any potential threats that would attack, he broke the silence as he
said: “Hei Lou Lan, you have been with Fang Yuan for a long time, what do
you think he would do in this situation?”

Hei Lou Lan was standing right beside Bing Sai Chuan, even though she was
a woman, her face had strong contours, she possessed sharp and long brows,
bright eyes and a heroic aura.

Hei Lou Lan heard the question, she thought about it and said: “Fang Yuan
only has three options, Dragon Palace, Myriad Year Flying Warship, or to
stay in the dream realm.

“Hiding in the dream realm is too risky for Fang Yuan. Not only can Spectral
Soul take the dream realm away, Heavenly Court also has ways to deal with
the dream realm. If I were Fang Yuan, I would not stay here and wait for
death.”

“Of course…” Hei Lou Lan smiled helplessly: “This is not guaranteed to be
the case, thus, Heavenly Court chose to stay by the dream realm. Fairy Zi Wei
has also stayed behind to make deductions using the formation, she is also
observing the dream realm. She is a wisdom path great expert, she knows
that she cannot interfere with the two Immortal Gu Houses, she is most
needed here.”

“Myriad Year Flying Warship is faster than Dragon Palace, this can deceive
the enemy, but I do not think that Fang Yuan would hide inside it. This is
because Myriad Year Flying Warship is still slower than Spectral Soul, but
its defense is lower than Dragon Palace. If Spectral Soul chooses to chase
Myriad Year Flying Warship and attack it, Myriad Year Flying Warship
would not last as long as Dragon Palace.”

Hei Lou Lan smiled coldly: “During the fate war, Fang Yuan lost his Twelve
Zodiac battle formation, if it were still around, he would likely escape in
Myriad Year Flying Warship. Thus, I think that Fang Yuan is most likely
hiding inside Dragon Palace!”

Hei Lou Lan had an eerie gaze: “Spectral Soul likely thinks the same too, that
is why he chased Dragon Palace while asking Demon Immortal Qi Jue to go
after Myriad Year Flying Warship, he made precautions for both situations.
Fang Yuan’s sovereign immortal body originated from Spectral Soul, he also
has all of Spectral Soul’s dream realms. If Spectral Soul can kill him and
reclaim the sovereign immortal body and the dream realms, he will rise up
once again!”

“Even though we want to kill Fang Yuan, we cannot let Spectral Soul
succeed. Even though Shadow Sect is working with us now, they have ill
intentions. After all, Fairy Zi Wei managed to deduce the fact Fang Yuan was
in Heavenly Court but they kept it from us, allowing Spectral Soul to attack
Heavenly Court alone. Only when they needed our reinforcement did they
call for us.”

“Thus, in my opinion, we should just watch from the side and exert influence
on the situation. If possible, it will be best if we can take down Spectral
Soul, Fang Yuan, and Heavenly Court in one move!”

“Hahaha.” Bing Sai Chuan laughed loudly, praising: “Good analysis! Quite
impressive. Northern Plains’ Hei tribe was too disappointing, but you live up
to Giant Sun’s bloodline. I’ll tell you the truth, after I woke up, I received
information about you. After observing you for some time, I can say that you
are a genius! It was just that your life was quite tough, you were schemed
against by your father and suppressed by Fang Yuan, you merely lacked an
opportunity to develop, otherwise, you would not be in this state.”

Hei Lou Lan heard the praise, her gaze focused on Bing Sai Chuan’s face.

Bing Sai Chuan had a tall body, his face was gentle but there was an ugly
scar extending from his right ear to his left cheek. He originally had a cold
expression but now, he looked at Hei Lou Lan with admiration and
satisfaction.
Hei Lou Lan’s heart jumped, an intense feeling appeared in her heart. Bing
Sai Chuan’s appreciation towards her ability was probably the most valuable
fortuitous encounter in her life!

After realizing that, Hei Lou Lan did not hesitate anymore, she stood straight
and cupped her fists: “I will listen to lord’s orders!”

Bing Sai Chuan laughed loudly, before stopping as he looked at Hei Lou Lan
with a solemn and serious gaze: “Good, Hei Lou Lan, are you willing to
rebuild Northern Plains’ Hei tribe?”

Northern Plains’ Hei tribe had been taken down long ago, it was now
occupied by Heavenly Lord Bai Zu to develop his tribe. Hei tribe’s Gu
Immortals even became members of Bai Zu tribe, they were simply the
disgrace of the Huang Jin bloodline.

Hei Lou Lan expressed her willingness to do so no matter what.

“But I am currently too weak…” Hei Lou Lan purposely showed a hesitant
expression filled with difficulty.

Bing Sai Chuan waved his hand as he tossed her a Gu worm.

Hei Lou Lan quickly received it, she saw that this rank seven Immortal Gu
looked like a black and gold beetle, it was very heavy, Hei Lou Lan did not
recognize it at once.

Bing Sai Chuan explained: “Hei Lou Lan, you have the Great Strength True
Martial Physique, you should cultivate solely strength path, your future will
be very bright. You have our Huang Jin bloodline, you are a Northern
Plainsman from birth, I am sure you will not disappoint me, we will not stint
on your strength path resources from now on. Take this strong Gu first, even
though it is rule path, it suits you very well.”

“Strong Gu?!” Hei Lou Lan’s body shook.

“Alright, Fairy Zi Wei’s formation is ready, go inside first.” Bing Sai Chuan
instructed.
Hei Lou Lan left Calamity Luck Altar and went into the formation.

She had a plain expression but her heart was filled with deep emotions and
turbulence. Strong Gu was recorded in <<The Legends of Ren Zu>>, it had a
close connection to the Great Strength True Martial Physique. Bing Sai
Chuan gave this legendary Immortal Gu to Hei Lou Lan, it showed how much
he wanted to nurture her.

Hei Lou Lan realized in her heart: “It seems that my life is going to undergo a
huge change now!”

<<The Legends of Ren Zu>>, chapter five, section thirty-one states —

Ren Zu lost freedom Gu, he was anguished and only recovered after a long
time.

Ren Zu was troubled, he asked cognition Gu: “Oh cognition Gu, how can I
obtain freedom Gu again? After what happened last time, freedom Gu will
not approach me anymore.”

Cognition Gu answered: “Oh human, why do you desire freedom Gu so

much?”

Ren Zu replied irritably: “Don’t you know the reason already? I am

searching for freedom in order to break free of the restraints of fate.”

Cognition Gu answered once again: “Then I have nothing much to tell you.
Haven’t you told fate Gu the answer to this question already?”

Ren Zu was dazed before he recalled.

Before he went insane, he met fate Gu. When he was harmed by fate Gu, he
shouted at it that he would use his own strength and wisdom to obtain
freedom, he would eventually break free from fate’s control!

Ren Zu’s eyes brightened: “Oh Gu, I remember now, thank you for the
reminder. I need to rely on myself to break free of fate. I already have my
own strength, what I lack is my own wisdom. I need to let self Gu eat a
mouthful of wisdom Gu, just like how it ate a part of strength Gu in the past.”
“But where is wisdom Gu?” Ren Zu asked cognition Gu.

Cognition Gu: “I do not know. Wisdom Gu has been to many places, its
location is not fixed. You can find wisdom in countless places, so human, you
need to find it yourself.”

Ren Zu nodded as he set off on his journey again.

He walked and walked and walked, one day, he saw two Gu worms chasing
each other along the road.

One Gu worm was white and tiny, it escaped ahead as it begged for mercy:
“Stop chasing me, stop chasing me, I do not want to be eaten by you.”

The other Gu was clearly larger in size, it had thick armor and said in a deep
tone: “I want to eat you, I want to eat you! No matter where you escape to, I
will eat you!”

The tiny white Gu was about to be caught by the larger Gu behind, it

suddenly saw Ren Zu and hid behind him: “Oh human, I beg of you, quickly
save me.”

Ren Zu saw that this Gu worm was so pitiful, it was chased by another Gu
worm, unable to fend for itself, he felt like he was seeing himself.

At this instance, a new heart grew in his chest — the heart of sympathy.

Ren Zu stretched out both arms as he stopped the larger Gu: “Stop, stop
chasing it.”

The armored Gu shouted: “Hey human, are you obstructing me? No, you
cannot stop me, you are unable to stop me.”

“Why is that so?” Ren Zu was curious.

The armored Gu explained: “I am strong Gu, that is weak Gu. Since time
immemorial, the rule of nature is that the strong prey on the weak. Thus,
strong must eat weak, weaklings are the food of the strong.”
Ren Zu sighed as he tried to convince the Gu: “Then why don’t you let it off
just this once, look at how pitiful it is.”

Strong Gu sneered: “Not even once! In the eyes of the strong, weaklings have
no stature, there is no sympathy for the weak. This is because heaven and
earth will never pity the weak, it will only marvel at the incredible feats of
the strong. Weaklings are born to be subdued, controlled, and devoured by
the strong.”

Ren Zu saw that his words fell on deaf ears, he could only deny strong Gu
forcefully: “I have already saved this Gu, go and eat others.”

Strong Gu knew that it could not beat Ren Zu alone, it could only fly away in
dissatisfaction: “I will be back.”
Chapter 2037: Myriad Destruction Lightning
Fores
Bai Ning Bing, Ying Wu Xie, and the rest went into the formation one by one,
finally, Fairy Zi Wei also went to the center of the formation, activating it.

The deduction was beginning.

Qi Sea Ancestor did not move, he stayed at the original spot.

“If I take action now to destroy the formation, will it help my main body?” Qi
Sea Ancestor analyzed, he estimated his chances.

Once the formation was damaged or even destroyed, the Gu Immortals inside
would suffer backlash, but Qi Sea Ancestor could not be certain of the exact
effect.

Furthermore, if Qi Sea Ancestor struck now, the secret that he was Fang
Yuan’s clone would be exposed for sure.

“If only I could convince Qin Ding Ling and the rest to strike together.” Qi
Sea Ancestor sighed internally.

Even though Qin Ding Ling was not a wisdom path great expert, she was not
so easy to deceive. Qi Sea Ancestor did not even dare to say anything odd
now, otherwise, Heavenly Court might find out the truth instead.

“Ancestor, time is pressing, you need to consider the big picture!” Qin Ding
Ling was secretly sending transmissions to him, trying to convince Qi Sea
Ancestor. She wanted him to chase after Dragon Palace and Spectral Soul,
but Qi Sea Ancestor started to talk about payment instead.

Qi Sea Ancestor sighed: “Fairy Qin, precisely because of the big picture, I
am being shameless in asking you for the three qi Immortal Gu. My methods
are all known by the enemies, only with these Immortal Gu can I gain a boost
in strength and catch the enemies by surprise. For the sake of the people, for
the righteousness of humanity, I hope you will consider the big picture and
give those three Immortal Gu to me.”

Qin Ding Ling mentally rolled her eyes, this Qi Sea Ancestor was not just
shameless, he was incomparably so, using this opportunity to ask for huge
compensation. He wanted three rank eight Immortal Gu at once, the cores of
Primordial Origin’s true inheritance! He was simply too greedy.

But Qin Ding Ling had many worries now, if she fell out with Qi Sea
Ancestor, Heavenly Court would not have any peak rank eight battle strength,
they would likely be targeted by Shadow Sect and Longevity Heaven.

Qi Sea clone purposely chose this current situation to exert pressure on Qin
Ding Ling.

Qin Ding Ling sighed: “Qi Sea Ancestor, why must you force us now? Back
then, in Eastern Sea, who helped you to resist Demon Immortal Qi Jue?”

Qi Sea Ancestor replied: “If we want to talk about favors, I am sure you all
owe me more. I have already gotten rid of Heavenly Court’s biggest threat,
the qi harvest fruit is gone now. Also, in this battle, I have never slacked off,
I took risks alongside all of you.”

Qin Ding Ling was silent for a while before she replied solemnly: “I can
give heaven qi and earth qi Immortal Gu to you, but human qi Immortal Gu is
out of the question. This is the bottom line of Heavenly Court, please
understand our circumstances, ancestor.”

Qi Sea Ancestor accepted the result.

The truth was, the Qi Sea clone did not think he would get all three qi
Immortal Gu to begin with. They were all rank eight Immortal Gu connected
to Primordial Origin true inheritance, they were too valuable, far beyond the
value of the supposed payment. Heavenly Court could have used other
resources to pay him, but because the situation was really urgent now, the Qi
Sea clone fought for the greatest benefit.
Of course, the fact that Qin Ding Ling gave the two qi path rank eight
Immortal Gu to Qi Sea Ancestor on the spot caused all of the Gu Immortals to
gasp in amazement.

Qi Sea Ancestor obtained two Immortal Gu, he said his goodbyes to the
Heavenly Court immortals as he chased after Dragon Palace immediately.

“I finally got him to work.” Qin Ding Ling felt very tired, but this outcome
was not too bad. She would not give all three qi Immortal Gu to Qi Sea
Ancestor, she had to keep at least one to use as bait against him.

Furthermore, Qi Sea Ancestor obtained two qi Immortal Gu, he only needed

human qi Immortal Gu to be able to use the killer move triple qi retraction,
this temptation was probably even greater now that he had two of them.

Dragon Palace flew rapidly in the wild winds.

In the dream realm earlier, Wu Shuai got sufficient time to put all his effort
into repairing Dragon Palace, at least from the outside, it looked restored.

“The damage to the core Immortal Gu cannot be resolved quickly, this is

already my limit!” Wu Shuai was very worried.

Behind Dragon Palace, a female rank eight soul path immortal was chasing it
relentlessly.

It was Spectral Soul who was inside Lady Cold Ash’s body. He emanated
black qi as he surged with killing intent, he locked onto Dragon Palace
without any signs of hesitation or giving up.

“You cannot escape, Fang Yuan! Even if you escape to the ends of the world,
I will definitely kill you.” Spectral Soul had just said that when his pupils
expanded.

Wherever Spectral Soul’s gaze landed, smoke that was pitch black appeared,
quickly reaching Dragon Palace.

The smoke expanded rapidly, with a soft sound, it turned into a round spiral
that had an immense suction force.
Wu Shuai was controlling Dragon Palace, he was caught by surprise as
Dragon Palace’s speed fell, it fell towards the black smoke spiral.

“What move is this?!” Wu Shuai gritted his teeth, veins bulged on his
forehead as he tried to move Dragon Palace to the sky.

Ever since they fought, Spectral Soul’s soul path methods had been endless,
it was hard to guard against them. Especially when Spectral Soul was such
an expert with abundant experiences, he could use these soul path killer
moves beyond their usual limits.

Dragon Palace turned around with difficulty, attempting to fly away from the
black smoke spiral from above.

Spectral Soul sneered, he pointed his finger. Black light quickly gathered on
his finger, it shot out, instantly hitting the area around Dragon Palace.

The tiny black light expanded rapidly, turning into an immemorial soul beast.

Seeing that the immemorial soul beast was about to pounce on Dragon
Palace, Wu Shuai was shocked, his pupils expanded rapidly.

If Dragon Palace got hit, its movement would be obstructed, it would fall into
the black spiral along with the immemorial soul beast. In that case, the
precious time that Fang Yuan obtained through this tactic would be
completely wasted.

At the crucial moment, Wu Shuai shouted, his eyes shined with mysterious
dazzling light.

Dragon Palace reacted to it, golden light erupted, a wave of pink smoke
rapidly gathered, easily dragging the immemorial soul beast away, into the
depths of Dragon Palace. The powerful immemorial soul beast could not
resist it at all!

Spectral Soul was not surprised.

This was the dream path killer move — Dreamy Light Smoke.
Wu Shuai got rid of the immemorial soul beast, Dragon Palace managed to
fly far above the spiral.

At this time, Spectral Soul’s body suddenly appeared near Dragon Palace,
his eyes shined with cold light: “I have been waiting for this!”

At the same time, ‘Spectral Soul’, who was far away, faded into nothingness.

Spectral Soul slammed with his palm, the silhouette of a soul mountain
appeared and pressed down on Dragon Palace.

This soul mountain was huge, the top was beyond the clouds, looking from
below, Wu Shuai’s entire vision was obstructed.

It covered the entire sky!

But the soul mountain’s appearance was very familiar to Wu Shuai.

“Isn’t this Dang Hun Mountain?” Wu Shuai was shocked and uncertain.

Bam!

With a loud sound, Dang Hun Mountain crashed down on Dragon Palace.

Dragon Palace’s beautiful roof met with a devastating blow. Countless tiles
shattered, many Gu worms died at once.

And even worse was that due to the impact, even though Dragon Palace
struggled, it was slammed into the black smoke spiral by the giant soul
mountain.

The spiral surrounded the entirety of Dragon Palace, an immeasurable

suction force started acting on it.

Dragon Palace spun around along with the spiral, losing its sense of
direction. Wu Shuai had to leave his throne as he tried to think of a way to
break out of this situation, but it was hopeless in the short term.
“Don’t tell me this is Spectral Soul’s truth strength?” Wu Shuai gritted his
teeth.

Spectral Soul unleashed several killer moves in succession, Wu Shuai was

very tired in trying to deal with them. The great rank eight Immortal Gu
House Dragon Palace could not put up a resistance, with Spectral Soul’s
array of killer moves, he managed to suppress Dragon Palace forcefully.

Wu Shuai stared with furious eyes, he had to try and delay for time, he
instilled immortal essence to try and fix the Immortal Gu House, wanting to
maintain his defensive position.

“In this situation, the main body’s safety is in my hands! But how long can I
last?” Wu Shuai was completely unsure at this point.

Fang Yuan’s main body was deep inside Dragon Palace.

The heaven path dao marks prevented him from doing anything now. The
unlimited qi sea killer move he used earlier against the primordial qi wall
was also prepared for a long time, he used human path methods to find a gap
in the restriction of the heaven path dao marks, allowing him to make one
move.

But with just that action, after breaking the qi wall, the heaven path dao
marks reacted and started to obstruct Fang Yuan in another way.

Thankfully, Fang Yuan did not get greedy and quickly stopped using his killer
move. Otherwise, the strong interference would cause his killer move to fail,
he would suffer intense backlash.

Fang Yuan only found that human path could resist heaven path. Dream path
might be effective but his attainment in dream path was not high enough.

Ever since he obtained Heavenly Court’s heaven path research results, Fang
Yuan had been researching on them.

He was fighting against time!

It was possible that a minute’s or even a second’s difference would lead to
either surviving or dying.

Immortal killer move — Heaven-human Sensation!

Immortal killer move — Human Executing Heaven’s Work!

Within the sovereign immortal aperture, Fang Yuan’s will mixed with
heaven’s will, he sensed various heaven path dao marks.

Refine them!

Immortal killer move — Unrestrained Heavenly Mark!

This killer move was meant to deal with heaven path dao marks, Fang Yuan
did not care about the cost, he expended rank eight immortal essence rapidly,
he quickly refined three heaven path dao marks successfully.

“Wu Shuai, persevere, I have already made a huge breakthrough!” The

moment Fang Yuan transmitted to Wu Shuai, a change occurred in the
immortal aperture.

Fang Yuan’s success infuriated heaven’s will.

The heaven path dao marks were like angry beasts, they were originally
scattered all over the place, but now they gathered together.

Rumble!

Thunder rumbled as lightning roared, dark clouds formed as wild winds

blew.

The heaven path dao marks triggered a huge change, in just a few breaths of
time, a tribulation was formed!

At that instant, earth shook as mountains rumbled, lightning flashed and

shattered rocks, the earth was crying out in sorrow.
Fang Yuan’s heart jumped: “Don’t tell me that forcefully refining heaven path
dao marks will anger the Heavenly Dao and cause a tribulation to occur? Or
maybe the killer move I used has a problem?”

Lightning clouds continued to form and spread out. Soon, they spread over a
hundred li, several thousand li, tens of thousands of li, and over a hundred
thousand li!

Millions of lightning bolts flickered continuously, this was like a huge forest
made of lightning bolts!

Myriad tribulation — Myriad Destruction Lightning Forest!

It was not an earthly calamity, a heavenly tribulation, or a grand tribulation, it

was actually a myriad tribulation.

Only a rank eight Gu Immortal could face such a tribulation.

It was a myriad tribulation, they put fear into most rank eight Gu Immortals!
Chapter 2038: Internal and External Problems
Fang Yuan immediately frowned, as if a huge rock was weighing on his mind,
his expression turned grim.

He did not think that a myriad tribulation would occur.

Rank eight Gu Immortals stood at the peak of the Gu Immortal world, but for
each one of them, every myriad tribulation was a troublesome hurdle.

In the current Gu Immortal world, most rank eight Gu Immortals have not
gone through one myriad tribulation. For example, Heavenly Lord Bai Zu and
Yao Huang were like this, even Prince Feng Xian was the same.

Back then, why did Old Ancestor Xue Hu try all means possible to refine
fortune rivalling heaven Gu? It was to deal with his first ever myriad
tribulation in this life! It was a pity that he created a huge commotion and
ended up with a huge loss, not only did Old Ancestor Xue Hu fail to refine
fortune rivalling heaven Gu, he even lost the whole of Snowy Mountain
blessed land.

Western Desert’s Thousand Transformations Ancestor had gone through one

myriad tribulation. He survived it by a hairsbreadth, he was forced to
recuperate for a long time. During the period, his beloved Fairy Cui Bo was
killed by Fang Yuan, yet he could only send Dancer Hong Yun to investigate
it.

Beast Calamity Immortal died after suffering heavy injuries from his first
myriad tribulation, leaving behind Beast Calamity grotto-heaven.

Bo Qing was a rank eight Gu Immortal who had passed two myriad
tribulations, Duke Long was too. Throughout history, both of them were top
tier experts merely below venerable level.

Even though Fang Yuan possessed over a million dao marks after becoming a
rank eight Gu Immortal, the truth was that he used the sovereign immortal
aperture’s specialty to annex grotto-heavens, he skipped all his myriad
tribulations.

Thus, Fang Yuan had not gone through a single myriad tribulation.

In his case, myriad tribulations were still huge problems. And the biggest
issue now was that this current situation was really inappropriate to undergo
tribulation. Fang Yuan could not estimate how long Wu Shuai could last, after
all, Spectral Soul was a terrifying foe that they could not assess!

“I need to refine these heaven path dao marks as soon as possible, only after
that can I face Spectral Soul!”

“But to refine heaven path dao marks, I need to undergo myriad tribulation?”

Fang Yuan felt like there was a tsunami now, he went up the mountain to
avoid the flood but found out that this was actually a volcano! And now, this
volcano was about to erupt.

Externally was Spectral Soul, internally was the myriad tribulation, at this
moment, Fang Yuan fell into the greatest predicament of his life so far.

“No, I still have a chance!” Even in this situation, Fang Yuan remained calm,
he was not flustered.

At the same time, at another area.

Myriad Year Flying Warship and Demon Immortal Qi Jue were escaping and
chasing respectively.

Suddenly, ‘Fang Yuan’ flew out of Myriad Year Flying Warship, using his
killer move with ferocity as he forced back Demon Immortal Qi Jue
temporarily.

Demon Immortal Qi Jue immediately used his investigative method, after

confirming this, he transmitted to Spectral Soul: “Fang Yuan is here with me,
I can’t deal with him alone. Come quickly! Otherwise, he might escape.”

Spectral Soul heard the news and got stunned for a moment.
“Is Fang Yuan really not in Dragon Palace?” Spectral Soul thought rapidly,
his attacks also slowed down as a result.

Right now, even though Dragon Palace was trapped, it was still a rank eight
Immortal Gu House, it could last for a while.

Fang Yuan was rushing against time, Spectral Soul was the same. If he
wasted time with Dragon Palace, even if he destroyed it, Fang Yuan would
escape, then this entire pursuit would fail because he could not meet his goal.

Victory in battle was never important, only the benefits behind it mattered.
Combat was just one of the ways to gain benefits, the glory of victory was
completely irrelevant to Spectral Soul.

“Fang Yuan has familiar face, he can create a will and give it immortal
essence and Immortal Gu to create a false impression of being the main
body.” Spectral Soul knew about this information, thus he was quite troubled
now.

Even though he was strong, far beyond other Gu Immortals, he could be

called the number one in the world, but Fang Yuan was crafty and hard to
catch, this situation was quite vexing.

Spectral Soul knew he had to be vigilant, otherwise, he would follow in

Heavenly Court’s footsteps. This Fang Yuan was just too good at escaping!

The sovereign immortal aperture was facing countless lightning bolts, ever
since the myriad tribulation formed, it had been attacking non-stop.

Mini Southern Border suffered severe damage!

The Heavenly Dao sought to balance deficit and surplus, which area in the
sovereign immortal aperture was the most developed? It was undoubtedly
Mini Southern Border. Thus, the Heavenly Dao created this myriad
tribulation that targeted Mini Southern Border.

“Myriad tribulation — Myriad Destruction Lightning Forest!” Fang Yuan

gritted his teeth, doing his best to make arrangements. He ignored Spectral
Soul who was outside now, he let Wu Shuai try to stall for time.

Rumble…

Cloud Bamboo Mountain was completely broken apart into countless pieces
by the lightning bolts.

There were eight desolate beast cloud foxes living on the mountain, and
eleven desolate plant spear tip bamboos, they were completely wiped from
existence by the lightning bolts. Cloud qi roots, white hair ginseng and a vast
number of ordinary spear tip bamboos were all destroyed too.

The seven colored cloud soil inside the mountain were also affected, they
were scattered all over the place, after the damage from the lightning, their
value fell drastically.

Cloud Bamboo Mountain was originally taken from Southern Border’s Chi
clan by Fang Yuan, it had the weakest defensive formation, thus at this
moment, it was completely decimated beyond recognition.

Soon, the other resource points started to face problems too.

“I need to solve this internal threat as soon as possible!” Fang Yuan thought
to himself, but the power of the myriad destruction lightning forest was
terrifying, he could not do anything about it, each of his actions were still
restricted by the heaven path dao marks.

Thankfully, there was a bunch of Gu Immortals in the sovereign immortal

aperture.

Among them, Xue Er, Shi Shi Cheng, and Mo Tan Sang were nurtured by
Fang Yuan to become the new leaders of their variant human tribes. Their
cultivation level was too weak, asking them to help out was simply sending
them to death’s doors.

“I will help!” At the moment of crisis, an elderly Gu Immortal stepped up,

emanating rank eight aura.
Since when did Fang Yuan’s sovereign immortal aperture gain such a
powerful expert?

This elderly man was none other than the sole rank eight in Beast Calamity
grotto-heaven, the current generation Combat Beast King.

Ever since Fang Yuan’s plan succeeded and he annexed Beast Calamity
grotto-heaven, all of the Gu Immortals inside were turned into his
subordinates. After that, Fang Yuan gave them the true method of Gu
cultivation.

During the fate war, most of the rank seven Gu Immortals were sent out to
fight, until now, Fang Yuan did not have any time to recall them, they were
still wandering around in the five regions.

Combat Beast King was a different case, because he had been cultivating
inside Star Collection City, his strength rose greatly.

This was Fang Yuan’s backup plan during the fate war to guard against
people trying to invade his immortal aperture.

During the fate war, this situation did not occur, and now that the sovereign
immortal aperture had a myriad tribulation, with Fang Yuan unable to make a
move, he could only send out the Combat Beast King.

Winds blew, starlight shot out.

The rank eight star sea snail corpse was taken out by Fang Yuan, handed to
Combat Beast King. The Combat Beast King did not hesitate, he immediately
used his killer move and turned into a giant covered in starlight armor.

The giant roared as his body flew up towards the sky of lightning clouds.

Crack!

When the giant reached half the distance, several lightning bolts combined
into one, the pillar-like bolt shot down on the star armored giant.
If this were in the past, Combat Beast King would definitely die from getting
hit by this. But after this period of cultivation, he had already learned how to
use immortal killer moves.

Thus, the defensive killer move was used by Combat Beast King before he
moved, it managed to resist the lightning bolts.

But the giant’s advancement was also halted at this moment.

The giant landed back on the ground, its majestic body shivering as sparks
remained on its body, Combat Beast King’s limbs were going numb, his
movements were greatly affected.

“Myriad tribulations are truly terrifying!” Combat Beast King was tongue-
tied, he spoke with deep shock.

Fang Yuan frowned tightly.

Earlier, the lightning bolts combined to target Combat Beast King, that was
the work of heaven’s will. The heaven path dao marks were too densely
gathered now, heaven’s will was naturally being produced.

With the manipulation of heaven’s will, the terrifying myriad tribulation

became even more adaptive, it led to despair.

“I have the killer move heaven’s will dissipation, I can even get rid of
heaven’s will in dream realms. Unfortunately, I cannot use it now!” Fang
Yuan sighed to himself, he needed to refine the heaven path dao marks, he
had to mingle with heaven’s will and use both heaven-human sensation and
human executing heaven’s work to capture the location of the heaven path dao
marks. After that, he would use unrestrained heavenly mark to refine the
relevant heaven path dao marks.

Thus, heaven’s will was necessary.

Once Fang Yuan gets rid of the heaven’s will, he would also not be able to
refine these heaven path dao marks.
“But the heaven path dao marks gathered and created a myriad tribulation,
this greatly affected my refinement of the heaven path dao marks, my
efficiency is less than one percent of before!”

Originally, the heaven path dao marks were scattered all over the sovereign
immortal aperture, they were like divided troops, Fang Yuan could refine
them group by group, the refinement was very effective. But now that the
heaven path dao marks gathered into one tight group, Fang Yuan would have
huge problems in trying to target them, his refinement also started to have no
progress.

With this speed of refining the heaven path dao marks, how long would it
take?

Fang Yuan’s circumstances were really precarious!

“Oh no, I can’t hold on anymore!” When it rains, it pours, at this moment, Wu
Shuai shouted loudly as he requested for Fang Yuan’s help.

This dragonman clone was also in a bind now.

Veins were bulging on his forehead, he was sweating profusely, Dragon

Palace was trapped in the black smoke spiral, it was taking huge damage at
all times. With cracking tiles and pillars, the whole of Dragon Palace was
visibly shrinking.

Wu Shuai could only do his best to repair it, but his speed could not match
Spectral Soul’s destruction.

Seeing that a crucial area was about to be destroyed, Wu Shuai had no choice
but to ask for help.

Fang Yuan knew that his clone would not ask unless he was desperate. He
sighed to himself as he switched his attention to the outside world.

After inspecting the situation, Fang Yuan immediately took action to help Wu
Shuai with the repair of the Gu House.

They managed to alleviate the situation, but it was not enough!

Suddenly, Wu Shuai gasped: “Why are Spectral Soul’s attacks getting
slower?”

Fang Yuan realized at once, he said: “I created a fake main body over in
Myriad Year Flying Warship, it seems to have worked. Spectral Soul is
hesitating now, he has always been worried that I would escape. He has no
idea that Dragon Palace is about to collapse, he thinks the rank eight
Immortal Gu House can still last for some time. If my ‘main body’ in Myriad
Year Flying Warship escapes during this period, even if he manages to take
down Dragon Palace and kill you, his plan will fail regardless.”

Wu Shuai’s eyes shined: “It will be great if we can deceive him now!”
Chapter 2039: Sorrowful Wind Mountain Range,
Wang Xiao Er
“It’ll be difficult.” Fang Yuan sighed deeply.

Almost the same time as he said that, Spectral Soul, who was outside,
attacked even quicker than before!

Spectral Soul shouted coldly: “Fang Yuan, you are truly a disappointment.
How long are you going to hide? I’ll tell you the truth, Fairy Zi Wei has
already deduced your location earlier.”

“Entrusting your hope to deceit, this is the way of the weak. I gave you
sovereign immortal fetus Gu, it was truly a waste!”

“Come out and fight me, in this case, even if you die, people of the world
will not say that you were cowardly, being afraid of the strong while bullying
the weak.”

“Damn it!” Wu Shuai’s hope was dashed, he could not help but grit his teeth.

Fang Yuan snorted coldly, frowning and not answering. From his perspective,
what was the point of reputation? What he cared about was whether Fairy Zi
Wei really succeeded in her deduction, was Spectral Soul trying to deceive
him now, was it all an act just to bait out Fang Yuan?

The Qi Sea clone had already left, so Fang Yuan did not know about the
situation over there.

“Even now, the wisdom path formation is still working, we cannot forget
another possibility, that is Fairy Zi Wei trying to delay Heavenly Court and
Longevity Heaven’s action by telling Spectral Soul about the result secretly
in advance. Sigh, I can’t care about it now.” Fang Yuan sighed as he quickly
tossed away this question.
It was not that he found out the truth, but Dragon Palace’s current condition
was too dangerous, he had no choice but to take action.

Fang Yuan opened the door of his immortal aperture slightly, letting out the
immemorial year beasts that he had prepared!

Several immemorial year beasts roared as they charged out of Dragon

Palace, attempting to destroy the black smoke spiral, while a few of them
charged towards Spectral Soul.

“Your efforts are futile.” Spectral Soul made his move, black smoke spread
out from his body and whipped up a dark storm, shrouding the surrounding
over an immense range.

He pointed repeatedly with his finger, each attack only carried a trace of
smoke but it was incredibly fast, the power was overwhelming. When the
black smoke hit the immemorial year beasts, it immediately expanded into
countless dense smoke chains that binded the immemorial year beasts.

The immemorial year beasts struggled but the black smoke chains were
boosted by the black smoke spiral, they became thicker and tighter. The
immemorial year beasts could struggle at first but soon they became unable to
move, they were swept away by the spiral without resistance.

“These are just petty tricks, you are truly a disappointment, Fang Yuan.”
Spectral Soul flew up into the sky as he looked down at the black smoke
spiral.

The great rank eight Immortal Gu House Dragon Palace was like a toy, once
its details were exposed, it was completely toyed around with like a
harmless object.

Wu Shuai gritted his teeth, activating the killer move dreamy light smoke.

Spectral Soul chuckled, spitting out several soul balls. The tadpole-like soul
balls had tails, they moved rapidly in the air, quickly entering the
immemorial year beasts.
Thin black qi appeared around the immemorial year beasts’ bodies, the black
smoke chains fused into the black qi and caused it to become much thicker.

The three immemorial year beasts regained freedom, they growled angrily as
they attacked Dragon Palace!

One of the immemorial year beasts directly jumped into the range of dreamy
light smoke.

Their control was actually taken over by Spectral Soul.

Dreamy light smoke swept away one immemorial year beast, Wu Shuai felt
powerless. With Spectral Soul controlling the situation now, he had ample
time and initiative, dreamy light smoke could no longer pose a threat, it was
just a small problem.

The soul path killer moves that Spectral Soul was using now were all
unheard of by Fang Yuan and Wu Shuai, they had never seen any moves like
these.

The foundation of a rank nine venerable was truly unfathomable!

High in the sky, the wisdom path formation continued to operate.

Fairy Zi Wei stayed at the central control area, she showed an appearance of
working her hardest to make deductions.

Longevity Heaven’s and Heavenly Court’s immortals surrounded the wisdom

path formation.

Qin Ding Ling silently looked at the wisdom path formation, just earlier,
Heavenly Court transmitted news that the few Gu Immortals staying back
successfully suppressed Di Zang Sheng.

Di Zang Sheng was hit by Primordial Origin’s qi path killer move, its
condition was slipping rapidly. When Fang Yuan escaped, he abandoned it to
its own demise. Now, it was not strange that Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals
suppressed it.
This point alone showed how anxious Fang Yuan was, he even gave up
something like Di Zang Sheng, it showed that he was at his weakest point.

And this fact amplified Qin Ding Ling’s killing intent towards Fang Yuan.

This was a rare opportunity that could not be lost!

After suppressing the Evil Dragon, the remaining Gu Immortals started to

repair Heavenly Court grotto-heaven. They quickly fixed the holes, Heavenly
Court’s crisis was finally alleviated.

This also allowed Qin Ding Ling to let out a sigh of relief, but she still had
other worries.

“Qi Sea Ancestor has just left recently, with Dragon Palace’s speed and
direction, it should have already reached Intestinal Gorge, right?” Qin Ding
Ling thought to herself.

Fang Yuan escaped in Dragon Palace, moving out of immemorial white

heaven and into Central Continent. This enraged Heavenly Court and also
caused them to be worried that the aftermath of the battle might cause severe
losses.

Intestinal Gorge was the northern entrance of Sorrowful Wind Mountain

Range, it was created during the Olden Antiquity Era when a beastman expert
died and fused with the surrounding mountains. It was under the control of
one of Central Continent’s ten great ancient sects, Black Heaven Temple.

Qin Ding Ling had already transmitted the details to Black Heaven Temple,
asking them to send out their Immortal Gu House and move along Intestinal
Gorge. If there was a chance they would strike, if the enemies were too
strong, they would abandon Intestinal Gorge and preserve their strength as
the main goal.

After receiving Heavenly Court’s orders, Black Heaven Temple went into an
alert state, they mobilized all of their strength and started to move out.
But after waiting for a long time, they did not see Dragon Palace nor Spectral
Soul.

Qin Ding Ling did not know that Spectral Soul had already intercepted
Dragon Palace along the way, they were still above the sky of Sorrowful
Wind Mountain Range.

Sorrowful Wind Mountain Range was huge, extending over hundreds of

thousands of li, compared to other mountain ranges, it was relatively gentle,
the resources here were not abundant, most of the mountains were barren.
Thus, even though it was in Black Heaven Temple’s territory, they did not
care much about it.

This place mostly produced wind path resources, in the past, a rank seven Gu
Immortal of Wind Cloud Manor came here to cultivate in seclusion, he
managed to breakthrough to rank eight, it was Old Man Bei Feng. It was a
pity that his life was filled with hardship, he first got captured by Fang Yuan
during the fate war and became enslaved by Dragon Palace. In the intense
battle earlier, Old Man Bei Feng died already.

He was not the only one, all of the Four Dragon Generals died in this battle.
Even the strongest of the enslaved, Di Zang Sheng, was now suppressed by
Heavenly Court.

On a certain mountain of Sorrowful Wind Mountain Range.

Several youngsters were herding sheep, they got into an argument.

A youngster was being bullied, he was the weakest and thinnest person here,
he took several steps back amidst the argument.

“Wang Xiao Er, this mountain is occupied by us, there is no place for you
here.”

“Scram now, get lost from our sight.”

Several youngsters wore thick leather jackets, they had muscular bodies and
vicious expressions.
Wang Xiao Er’s clothes were patched up with many tattered areas, he looked
like a beggar.

He resisted weakly: “But my sheep need to eat, if I do not feed them

sufficiently, uncle and aunt will beat me up when I return.”

The youngsters laughed loudly, the strongest one struck and pushed Wang
Xiao Er to the ground.

“Go to the other mountain to herd your sheep, there is still some grass there.
Scram now! Otherwise, I will break your leg!” The muscular young man
threatened viciously.

Wang Xiao Er struggled to get up, he did not resist, he only moved his small
group of sheep and left the mountain.

He walked with his thin legs, crossing rivers and steep paths. There was no
road on the mountain, Wang Xiao Er often fell down and suffered bruises
from the hard rocks on the ground, only the sheep behind him were traveling
without any problems.

Wang Xiao Er finally found a small patch of grass, the sheep got tired and
thirsty after running around, even without his command, they went forward
and competed to eat the food.

Wang Xiao Er was so tired he laid down on the rock and watched the sheep
fighting to eat, he sighed to himself: “Recently, the sorrowful winds in the
mountains are getting more violent, there is less and less grass available.
That is why they chased my sheep away from that grassland.”

The patch of grass was tiny, it was completely gobbled up by the sheep after
some time. The stronger sheep ate the most food while the remaining sheep
growled in hunger.

Wang Xiao Er shook his head, this mountain had little grass, it was scattered
all over the place. If he wanted to feed all the sheep, he would need to head
to another mountain. It would not only waste time but energy as well.
“Oh sheep, oh sheep, at least you guys have food. In order to feed you all, I
will definitely have to return late. I will definitely be beaten up by uncle and
aunt, I will have to eat leftover rotten food.”

Even though Central Continent was the most developed among the five
regions, most of the mortals still lived difficult lives, it was common to
starve.

Right at this time, there were suddenly rumbling noises heard.

Wang Xiao Er raised his head, this was a strange situation, why was there
thunder rumbling in this bright sky?

After that, he slowly opened his mouth and saw a shooting star falling from
the sky.

The shooting star became larger and larger in his vision, winds became
stronger, the rumbling sounds were deafening, even the temperature of the air
rose.

Wang Xiao Er was completely stunned, he froze on the spot, the surrounding
sheep sensed the danger, they started crying out and running around.

Not just the sheep, the wild beasts on the mountains were also scrambling,
the originally quiet mountain suddenly became very lively.

As the shooting star got closer, Wang Xiao Er finally got a good glimpse of it.

This shooting star was actually a mountain-sized beast!

The wild beast crashed down with a loud sound, coincidentally, it was the
mountain that Wang Xiao Er lived on!

The mountains collapsed as rocks flew, earth shook as the mountain

trembled, dust clouds rose up rapidly.

The village on the mountain was instantly destroyed, there were anguished
cries of people mixed with the growls of beasts, Wang Xiao Er could hear
these sounds spreading through the air currents produced.
Rumble rumble rumble…

As Wang Xiao Er stared with a frightened gaze, terrifying cracks were

spreading on the ground, soon, the surroundings of the mountain peak also
cracked, they fell apart piece by piece.

The youngsters who chased Wang Xiao Er away earlier all met with a
disaster!

“Am I going to die?” Wang Xiao Er sat on the ground helplessly.

He seemed to have lost all of his strength, he could only watch as the dust
clouds devoured him like a hungry beast that ate everything in its path.

Inside the dust clouds were countless rock shards carried by the wind.

One of them hit Wang Xiao Er’s forehead.

Before he fainted, his final thought was that of confusion, why did a giant
beast fall from the sky?
Chapter 2040: Qing Mouth
Above the clouds, in the sky.

Dragon Palace barely managed to create a golden light to shield itself, but it
was trapped inside the black smoke spiral, resisting against the ferocious
attacks from the outside.

Only three immemorial year beasts that Spectral Soul took control of were
left.

The rest were all defeated by Wu Shuai using Dragon Palace. As for their
falling corpses and what mountains they destroyed, how many people they
killed, nobody in this battle cared, they could not afford to bother with the
devastating disaster that a mortal boy like Wang Xiao Er experienced.

The remaining three immemorial year beasts regained their senses after the
black smoke dissipated, they fought against Spectral Soul once again.

But Wu Shuai had a heavy mood.

These immemorial year beasts were collected by Fang Yuan in an attempt to

restore his Twelve Zodiac battle formation, at this crucial moment, he had to
use them for battle.

The result was that due to Spectral Soul’s methods, they became used by him
instead.

After the fight earlier, the remaining three immemorial year beasts were all
injured, they could not be used to break out of this situation. Spectral Soul
easily managed to resolve Fang Yuan’s method, he dealt with the situation
without breaking a sweat.

Not only could Spectral Soul control soul beasts, ordinary enslavement path
methods were also useless against him, he could use it against the enemy
instead!
Wu Shuai was deeply worried: “At this rate, how long can we last?”

Fang Yuan frowned tightly, his opponent was Spectral Soul now, he was
trying hard to maintain his defense, but inside sovereign immortal aperture,
the myriad tribulation was rampaging and causing destruction. After this
short while, Mini Southern Border lost many resource points, his losses were
rapidly increasing.

The bigger problem was that even if Fang Yuan gave up a portion of his
immortal aperture, he could not break free from the myriad tribulation. This
was because the heaven path dao marks that created the tribulation were very
special, they could move around. He had to endure the myriad tribulation
forcefully to get past this biggest hurdle.

Spectral Soul’s eyes shined with cold light, he did not chase after his
enemies and attack Dragon Palace again, instead, he looked away.

In his vision, a black dot appeared.

Soon, this dot expanded as a legendary immemorial beast showed its

appearance, it had a tortoise shell, four tiger paws, dragon tail, snake neck,
and a human head. Its hair was disheveled and it had a twisted expression
filled with insanity.

It was Qing Chou who had caught up!

Spectral Soul did not avoid Qing Chou’s pursuit, instead, he started to smile
coldly: “Since you are here to court death, that will be the best outcome.”

However, when Qing Chou reached Spectral Soul, the corner of its tortoise
shell split open as a pair of bat wings formed instantly! This was very
similar to the wings of the green claw ghost winged lion.

Immortal killer move — Qing Mouth!

Qing Chou opened its mouth, as it had a human face, its mouth was not big,
but right now, its mouth opened to form a huge green-black hole.
The hole expanded rapidly, it shot out and devoured Spectral Soul in one
mouthful.

The hole rapidly shrunk as it entered Qing Chou’s mouth. Qing Chou
swallowed as it gulped, a ball could be seen flowing down its snake neck,
into its stomach.

“Good chance!” At this moment, brilliance flashed in Wu Shuai’s eyes.

“This move was left behind to deal with you, scumbag!” Qing Chou roared
loudly in joy after devouring Spectral Soul, memories surfaced in its mind
again…

“What, all three Gu Immortals we sent were killed by Ming You?”

“Impossible!”

“But that is the truth. Ming You first pretended to be weak and got injured on
purpose, causing our three immortals to split up to look for him. He
ambushed them at a corner and found the opportunity to launch a shameless
sneak attack on them. Out of carelessness, all three immortals met with their
demise.”

Qing clan’s hall turned silent.

They wanted to restore their reputation but they ended up suffering even
greater losses. A rank seven Gu Immortal was not easy to nurture, especially
when they were elite rank seven Gu Immortals of Qing clan.

The losses were really huge for Qing clan, their foundation was definitely
shook.

“Ming You deserves death! We were too careless… this lesson is very
important, we need to remember it and pass it down to the future generations.
I am going to deal with him personally.” Qing clan first supreme elder said.

The immortals were silent, nobody expressed their objection.

Sending a rank eight Gu Immortal against the rank seven Ming You was really
not something to be proud of. But Qing clan could not afford to lose anymore,
all of the super forces in Western Desert were watching them like a joke!

However, when Qing clan’s first supreme elder was about to set off, he
received a challenge letter.

This letter came from another Western Desert super force which had deep
enmity with Qing clan, they requested a battle with Qing clan first supreme
elder, wanting to use the result of this battle to decide their territorial
boundary.

“Damn it, at this juncture!” Qing clan’s Gu Immortals shouted immediately.

“They are doing this on purpose. But the territorial boundary determines the
ownership of a resource point, the benefits involved are too much. What do
you think?” Qing clan first supreme elder hesitated at this moment.

“I will go and end Ming You’s life.” Qing clan’s second supreme elder stood
up.

“You?” The first supreme elder hesitated.

Second supreme elder smiled: “I only have rank seven cultivation level but
Ming You is heavily injured, he needs to recuperate. We have already
learned of his details, even though his methods are innovative and peculiar,
they are mostly soul related. My immemorial desolate beast green claw ghost
winged lion is his nemesis. Not just that, I created an immortal move called
Qing mouth, I gained inspiration from the green claw ghost winged lion and
created it. Once used, it can devour souls. Don’t worry everyone, I can
definitely take this Southern Border Gu Immortal’s life.”

“Alright, go ahead. Be careful on this trip.” Eventually, first supreme elder

nodded and agreed.

“With second supreme elder taking action, we will definitely succeed!”

“Ming You is as good as dead, he is not a threat, our problem now is still this
challenge letter.”

“Second supreme elder, you must avenge Qing Hua Lan and the rest!”

“I finally took revenge for all of you!” As his memories faded away, Qing
Chou could not help become choked with tears, hot tears started to flow out
of its red eyes.

Revenge was finally taken, it felt relieved and free.

“Such a familiar sight…” Spectral Soul spoke in a casual tone from within
Qing Chou’s stomach.

Qing Chou’s body instantly froze.

Next, it felt bitterness.

Deep bitterness.

Intense bitterness!

An indescribable and unendurable bitterness!

Bitter, it was too bitter.

“Ugh…” Qing Chou’s expression turned pale, it gagged as it almost wanted

to vomit.

It quickly gritted its teeth, enduring desperately.

The taste of bitterness surged like a huge tsunami, it crashed towards the
limits of its endurance.

Qing Chou growled in pain, its entire body was shivering from the bitterness,
it could no longer fly as it fell towards the ground.
While descending, it started to feel hungry!

It was as if there was an empty space in its stomach.

No, it was not just hunger, it was a sort of loss. It was as if its entire body
was experiencing a loss.

“Now, you should know how Qing clan’s second supreme elder died in my
hands? Indeed, I purposely got hit by Qing mouth killer move. Do you know
why I am so confident? Hehe.” Spectral Soul chuckled from inside Qing
Chou’s stomach.

Long ago, when Spectral Soul was still young, before he went up against
Western Desert’s Qing clan…

Ming You who was extremely successful in life met with a wild green claw
ghost winged lion and suffered a terrible defeat.

“Impossible! The soul path I created actually failed to beat a beast. Even
though it is an immemorial desolate beast, my soul path… how can my soul
path be so pathetic and weak?!”

Ming You who was tired after a long fight fell to the ground, he stared at the
green claw ghost winged lion with a crazed expression of disbelief and
indignance.

The green claw ghost winged lion stood on four legs, it looked at Ming You
who was on the sandy ground, its entire body was casting the shadow of
death down on him.

Next, the green claw ghost winged lion lowered its head as it opened its
bloodthirsty mouth.

Plop.

With a soft sound, the green claw ghost winged lion bit off Ming You’s leg.

Ah——!
Ming You cried out in pain, after losing his entire right leg, blood poured out
of the wound.

The intense pain caused him to curl his body, twisting around on the ground.
Soon, the surroundings were dyed red from blood.

After biting off his right leg, the green claw ghost winged lion swallowed it
and felt annoyed by the moving Ming You, it stretched out its right claw and
pressed him firmly on the ground.

No matter how Ming You struggled, he could not resist the strength of this
beast.

The green claw ghost winged lion lowered its head and bit off Ming You’s
left arm this time, swallowing it.

Ming You cried out in pain again, his eyes turned white as he almost fainted
from pain.

The pain was even more severe this time, earlier when his right leg was
bitten off by the green claw ghost winged lion, it was a quick action, but this
time, his left arm was torn off forcefully. There was still a small chunk of
flesh left on his shoulder, the white arm bone could be seen with the naked
eye.

Ming You resisted, he used a soul path killer move with his full strength, but
all his attack only impacted the green claw ghost winged lion slightly, it did
not move back at all.

Because of the attack, the green claw ghost winged lion lost its patience, it
opened its mouth for the third time and ate Ming You entirely.

It started to move its teeth and chew.

Ming You’s body was pierced and minced, his bones were all shattered. His
brain was not spared either, blood matter and brain matter mixed together,
along with his minced flesh, they were all swallowed by the green claw
ghost winged lion.
Only Ming You’s soul was left.

However, the green claw ghost winged lion could not digest human bodies, it
only ate souls as food.

Ming You’s soul could not escape from the green claw ghost winged lion’s
stomach, he was rapidly broken down by the gastric acid.

The shadow of death loomed over him.

Ming You’s soul shook intensely, he realized that death was approaching him.

“Am I going to die…”

“Dying in the mouth of a mere beast?”

Damn it!

Indignance!

“I am still too weak. I can do much more!”

“I can definitely do more things, I have just created soul path…”

But his soul path methods were countered by the green claw ghost winged
lion. This immemorial desolate beast was simply the natural nemesis of Ming
You!

“I cannot die here. I will not accept this outcome.”

“There must be a way, there has to be a way!”

“My immortal aperture is still inside my flesh body, it is still with me. My
Gu worms are around too… but soul path is useless here. I, I still have food
path!”

But the food path killer moves he had could not resist the green claw ghost
winged lion, otherwise, he would have used them already, he would not end
up like this.
“If existing food path killer moves are useless, I will create new food path
killer moves!”

This was wishful thinking, but for Ming You, it was his only hope, even
though the hope was extremely slim.

Ming You did not think about the unlikeliness of this action, he only focused
on thinking, doing his best to create his concept.

Never before was he so concentrated on something!

His soul was still eroding, it became smaller and smaller.

His thoughts were producing at an increasing slower speed.

Soon, even his thoughts could not move anymore.

“I… cannot… give up…”

“I have to think… I got it… <<The Legends of Ren Zu>>…”

“That’s right, didn’t Ren Zu get eaten as well?”

Chapter 2041: Bitter Taste, Swallow Loss
<<The Legends of Ren Zu>>, chapter five, section thirty-two.

Ren Zu continued on his journey, after a while, a huge Predicament entered

Ren Zu’s vision.

Strong Gu was inside this Predicament’s body, it laughed: “Oh human, I am

back again. This time, I have help, let’s see what you can do!”

Ren Zu had to stop walking, even though the Predicament before him was
huge, he did not fluster.

Long long ago, Ren Zu had been chased by a group of Predicaments as he

escaped, but after he gave his heart to hope Gu, those Predicaments which
feared hope escaped in panic.

“Oh hope Gu, I need your help.”

Ren Zu summoned hope Gu but the light of hope did not scare away this
Predicament.

What was going on?

“Haha!” Strong Gu laughed: “Oh human, this Predicament has gained my

help, it will definitely be the greatest Predicament you have ever met in your
life. With just hope, how can you possibly defeat it?”

Ren Zu could not think of a way.

At this moment, weak Gu that was shielded by Ren Zu spoke in a soft voice:
“Oh human, thank you for protecting me. Don’t worry, I have an idea, let’s
scare this Predicament away!”

“You can scare it away?”

Weak Gu shook its head: “Oh human, even something as weak as me has a
method to survive in life. Against those that want to eat or bully me, I will
often put up a deceiving disguise, to make others think that I am very strong.”

“This world favors the strong. Even if we are weak, we need to disguise
ourselves as strong beings or we will be bullied everywhere.”

“Oh human, you can do it. Don’t you have fear Gu? Isn’t attitude Gu on your
face?”

Ren Zu heard weak Gu’s suggestion and decided to try it.

He first twisted his appearance using attitude Gu, revealing his teeth and
showing a fierce expression. Next, he used fear Gu to scare the Predicament
as it bore its teeth, sprawling on the ground and staring at Ren Zu vigilantly.

Ren Zu was dazed: “Why didn’t we scare it away?”

Weak Gu urged: “Didn’t it jump earlier? This means that my method works,
but we need to put in more effort. Oh human, why don’t you put attitude Gu
on top of self Gu? What is the best form of deceit or disguise? It is to deceive
even yourself. By doing that, we should be able to deceive the Predicament.”

Weak Gu continued: “As long as the Predicament thinks that you are strong, it
will definitely let you pass. That is because Predicaments often take the
initiative to give way to the strong.”

Ren Zu took off the mask on his face as he placed attitude Gu on self Gu.

However, it was pointless.

The Predicament did not run off in fear.

Ren Zu realized at once: “I understand now, when a person faces a huge

predicament, putting up a facade will never solve the real problem.”

Strong Gu laughed: “Oh human, stop wasting your effort. With me here to
remind the Predicament, how can you guys possibly deceive it? You should
not have saved weak Gu, weak people often like to jeer and taunt others,
showing a ruthless demeanor to conceal their own weakness inside.”

Ren Zu was helpless, he could only stall for time temporarily.

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration as he said to strong Gu: “You said that
the law of survival is for the strong to eat the weak, I agree with that. But
how do you prove that you are strong while we are weak? If you cannot
prove this, on what basis are you allowed to eat us?”

Strong Gu was dazed: “It is because I am strong Gu and that is weak Gu.”

Ren Zu shook his head: “Just your names alone cannot prove anything.
Moreover, other than both of you Gu worms, myself and this Predicament are
also here.”

Strong Gu smiled coldly: “Then I have a good method to prove it! We will
eat a portion of each other, whoever fails to persevere to the end will lose,
whoever is weak deserves to be eaten.”

Ren Zu saw that he could not stall for any more time, he had to take a risk:
“Then we will do that. Don’t regret it! However, which of us will eat first?”

Strong Gu was confident in its strength, it chuckled: “So what if I let you go
first?”

Ren Zu assessed the Predicament with his gaze, the truth was he had never
eaten any Predicaments before.

Ren Zu thought about it before he had an idea: “Then I will eat the head of the
Predicament first.”

Thus, Predicament took off its head and gave it to Ren Zu.

Ren Zu only took a bite when his face became distorted, he almost vomited
on the spot: “So bitter!”

It turned out that this was a huge bitter head[1].

Not just that, even though the Predicament lost its head, it was still standing,
the neck that was missing a head did not bleed at all, there were no issues at
all.

“Haha!” Strong Gu laughed: “Oh human, you chose wrongly, by just eating
bitter heads, you cannot resolve any predicaments. Moreover, whether you
are capable of eating this huge bitter head is another question altogether! If
you cannot eat it, it means that you are a weakling, you deserve to be eaten by
us.”

Compared to the Predicament’s head, Ren Zu’s body was very small.

Ren Zu knew that strong Gu was right, he could not afford to lose. If he lost,
not only would he fail to protect weak Gu, he would even lose his life and
become the food of the Predicament.

Ren Zu could only frown as he opened his mouth, continuing to eat the bitter
head.

After taking dozens of mouthfuls, Ren Zu suddenly stopped, he opened his

mouth and almost vomited.

Hope Gu encouraged him: “Oh human, don’t vomit. If you grit your teeth, you
can devour any hardship that comes your way. Humans do not just need to eat
food, they also need to taste bitterness.”

Ren Zu nodded as he continued to eat.

Halfway through, the fear Gu on his body started to shout: “Oh heaven, when
will we ever finish eating it?”

Ren Zu also felt a trace of despair.

Courage Gu quickly said: “Oh human, you cannot be afraid of tasting

bitterness. Don’t fear bitterness, suffering is only temporary, if you start to
fear suffering, you will suffer for life.”

With the help of courage Gu, Ren Zu finally managed to eat all of the bitter
heads after great hardship.
Ren Zu wiped his mouth as he looked at strong Gu with difficulty: “You can
choose now.”

Strong Gu smiled: “Then we will eat your skin first.”

Ren Zu had to pull off the skin on his body as he threw it to the Predicament.

The Predicament had no head, it stuffed Ren Zu’s skin down its neck. Ren
Zu’s skin was completely eaten but its huge belly did not expand at all.

Strong Gu asked again: “Oh human, what are you going to eat next?”

Ren Zu was troubled now, he had just eaten the Predicament’s head, it was
too bitter, even though he endured the process, his stomach was almost full
now.

As for the Predicament, even though it had no head, it was still alive and
standing.

“What should I eat now? I ate too much earlier, my stomach is reaching its
limit, if I have to eat a lot, my stomach might burst and I’ll die.” Ren Zu
thought to himself, he had to eat the most important and fatal part of the
Predicament’s body!

But which part of the Predicament’s body was the most important?

After thinking for a long time, Ren Zu finally had an idea, he said to strong
Gu: “Then I will eat the part that you absolutely do not want me to eat.”

Strong Gu snorted coldly: “Then you can eat some losses[2].”

It took out all of the losses from the Predicament’s body and gave it to Ren
Zu for consumption.

These losses were not big, the quantity was not large either.

Ren Zu was quite surprised, because after these losses were taken out, the
originally huge Predicament shrunk by a lot.
Rules and regulation Gu started to explain for Ren Zu: “Oh human, this is not
strange. Predicaments vary according to people, since you ate such a huge
bitter head earlier, you will have less losses to eat, thus, it became smaller.”

Ren Zu became happy: “This is great. Even if I eat all of these losses, I will
not reach my limit, it will not fill my stomach completely.”

Ren Zu opened his mouth and ate a small loss.

It was so spicy!

Ren Zu could not even speak at this moment.

Continuing to eat.

Ren Zu opened his mouth as he breathed heavily, his empty eye sockets also
started to tear up uncontrollably.

Eating again.

Ren Zu’s entire body was covered in sweat that merged with the tears
flowing out of his eye sockets.

The most uncomfortable thing for Ren Zu was that budding flames started to
appear in his heart. These yellowish flames resembled chicks, they gathered
together in groups.

The more losses one ate, the more flames of resentment they would feel in
their heart.

The more flames of resentment they had, the more uncomfortable it felt, even
Ren Zu’s several hearts could not take it, they were going to be incinerated
soon!

Right at this moment, the heart of nobleness grew in Ren Zu’s chest.

Compared to the other hearts, the heart of nobleness was able to endure the
most flames of resentment. With this heart to bear the burden, Ren Zu finally
managed to endure it.
Ren Zu ate all of the losses.

Strong Gu looked at Ren Zu’s bulging belly as he smiled coldly: “Oh human,
you are almost at your limit, it is time for us to eat.”

Ren Zu breathed roughly as he asked: “What do you want to eat?”

Strong Gu said: “I want to eat your flesh.”

Ren Zu was helpless about it, he could only let it eat his flesh.

Ren Zu’s skin and flesh were inside Predicament’s stomach, he only had his
bones, organs, and hair left.

In this deep and eerie darkness, only Ming You’s thoughts were flickering
with much difficulty, radiating the light of hope near the end of his life.

“I… can do it…”

“Come on… come on…”

Food path killer move — Bitter Taste!

Food path killer move — Swallow Loss!

The green claw ghost winged lion was flying in the air, suddenly, its body
shook as it fell towards the ground with a pitiful cry.

With a loud sound, it crashed into the desert, creating a deep pit.

The green claw ghost winged lion struggled intensely, causing the sand on the
ground to turn into a huge sand wave.

It could not endure the immense feelings of bitterness, the flames of

resentment burned intensely in its heart.
It knew that Ming You was the one causing problems in its stomach, it
stabbed its claw into its stomach without hesitation!

After spending a long time struggling, it slowly came to a halt as its life force
dissipated.

Using the hole that its claw created, Ming You’s soul flew out like a trace of
smoke, bringing along his immortal essence and Gu worms, escaping from
the stomach of the beast.

“I actually survived.” Even he did not think that this would be the outcome!

His soul was dim, after floating and moving for some time, he collapsed onto
the ground.

Only after resting for a long time did he recover slightly.

Looking at the dark sky, Spectral Soul who was still a young adult snorted
coldly before laughing to himself: “Pathetic, truly pathetic. However, in this
world, in this world… who does not struggle at death’s doors?”

“I swear!” Spectral Soul’s figure was blur and vague, he seemed to be

pointing at heaven.

He used an extremely firm and determined, yet incomparably weak voice to

shout with all his strength: “This is the last time I will struggle before death
in my life! From today onwards, only I can cause others to struggle in the
face of death, the five regions and two heavens can bear testament to my
words!”

Heaven and earth was silent.

Going back to the present, his memories faded away as the battlefield
reappeared.

Qing Chou was rolling around in the air, finally, it could not take it anymore
as it vomited out Spectral Soul.
Spectral Soul’s body was like a phantom, moving rapidly and reaching Qing
Chou’s back.

He raised his right arm as his five fingers turned black like ink, it was quite
peculiar. His five fingernails were longer than his fingers, they were white
and sharp, emitting an icy and terrifying aura.

“Go ahead and struggle to death. Don’t worry, I will not let any of you feel
even the slightest hope of survival!”

Spectral Soul’s eyes shined with a dark light, his five fingers stabbed at
lightning speed.

Roar—!

Qing Chou’s body shook, all of its strength surged again as Spectral Soul
quickly absorbed everything.

[1] The Chinese phrase for suffering/hardship is written as bitter head

literally.

[2] Eat loss is the literal meaning of the phrase that means suffering a loss,
being disadvantaged, or ending up in an unfavorable situation.
Chapter 2042: Venerable Spectral Soul
Lightning flashed and thunder roared, causing destruction to sovereign
immortal aperture.

Mini Southern Border was ravaged by the myriad destruction lightning forest
to a pitiful level, countless mountains collapsed, the earth cracked as deep
crevices formed. Combat Beast King was bathed in blood as he fought, his
injuries were getting more severe, the situation was getting tougher now.

He was using his life to forcefully hold on and maintain the situation.

“Compared to the might of heaven and earth, even if I am a rank eight Gu

Immortal, so what?” Combat Beast King had been cultivating in sovereign
immortal aperture, he gained a lot of knowledge and his strength rose greatly,
giving him a boost of confidence. But now, facing the myriad tribulation, he
could feel how tiny and insignificant he was.

The range of the myriad destruction lightning forest expanded again, because
Fang Yuan’s main body had to deal with the fight outside, he was at a
disadvantage. Against this myriad tribulation, even if Fang Yuan put in all his
effort, it would still be a dangerous process, and yet half of his attention was
drawn away to deal with Spectral Soul.

This was a myriad tribulation, countless rank eights had faltered at this
hurdle!

Fang Yuan’s situation was quite unique, this was not his first myriad
tribulation. He had not just skipped two myriad tribulations, this current one
was created by the three thousand heaven path dao marks in his body.

A myriad tribulation created this way was extremely rare even in the long
history of humanity.

Forced by the situation, Fang Yuan had to multitask, he dealt with the
situation outside while simultaneously observing sovereign immortal
aperture.
He looked at the heaven path dao marks that transformed into lightning path
and cloud path to create this myriad tribulation, he suddenly comprehended
something.

“I think I understand something now.” At that instance, he realized the origin

of the calamities and tribulations!

In the past, he knew that calamities and tribulations were controlled by the
Heavenly Dao, it cared about balance, to take away surpluses while
replenishing deficits. Every Gu Immortal and immortal aperture was a mass
congregation of dao marks, thus, the Heavenly Dao had to take measures to
maintain the balance.

Every once in a while, the Heavenly Dao would unleash its might, creating
calamities and tribulations for Gu Immortals. But how could it create these
calamities and tribulations? Fang Yuan did not know.

Right now, this question in Fang Yuan’s heart got answered by the scene
before him.

It turned out that matter what kind of tribulation, it was actually created using
heaven path dao marks. The heaven path dao marks could transform into any
path, thus, there were the flying frost jumping lightning tribulation, four
inferno cloud tribulation, dragon roar tribulation, heavenly drum thunder
tribulation, wind flower calamity, snow moon calamity, profound white
flying salt calamity…

These tribulations were of the various paths, there were many types of them,
Gu Immortals could not guess what would come, thus they faced huge
difficulties. The Heavenly Dao would even mimic venerable methods, for
example, Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable’s formless hand.

All these different tribulations were merely the manifestation, in essence,

they were all heaven path dao marks!

The higher the Gu Immortal’s cultivation level, the more dao marks they
would have, and the bigger the difference between them and the natural
environment. The more imbalanced it was, the more heaven path dao marks
would be drawn to them, and the stronger the tribulations they would face.

Nobody in the world could cultivate heaven path, even if a Gu Immortal

passed a tribulation successfully, they would not gain heaven path dao marks.
These heaven path dao marks would transform into the dao marks of other
paths and fuse with the Gu Immortal’s immortal aperture.

Thinking about it, back in Crazed Demon Cave, the heaven path dao marks
derived many strange and peculiar small worlds, after these worlds were
destroyed, they transformed back into heaven path dao marks.

As for the immortal tribulation tempering aperture killer move that Fang Yuan
obtained from Lang Ya Sect, it used the same logic.

Immortal tribulation tempering aperture killer move used the blessed land
and grotto-heaven as the refinement target, using the killer move to connect
the immortal aperture with the five regions world outside, influencing the
calamities and tribulations and using it to temper the immortal aperture itself.

Lang Ya blessed land was once located at Northern Plains’ crescent lake.
Around the vicinity of crescent lake were water path and refinement path dao
marks, immortal tribulation tempering aperture killer move was often used to
deal with the calamities and tribulations. Most often, water path and
refinement path calamities would occur. After passing it, the immortal
aperture would gain water path and refinement path dao marks.

The true effect of this move was to affect the transformation of the heaven
path dao marks.

In Giant Sun Immortal Venerable’s true inheritance, there were also luck path
methods to weaken tribulations. For example, Dog Shit Luck and Fortune
Rivalling Heaven. He was using luck path dao marks to interfere with the
creation of tribulations by the heaven path dao marks, causing a favorable
change to occur and weakening the might of the tribulations.

In Beast Calamity grotto-heaven, there was myriad beings assimilation

transformation killer move, it limited the transformation of the heaven path
dao marks, thus each tribulation turned into a transformation path beast
calamity instead.

The exposing heavenly secret killer move that Fang Yuan obtained from
Shadow Sect could precisely deduce the content of the following tribulation.
Exposing heavenly secret killer move used heavenly secret Immortal Gu as
the core, very evidently, it also targeted the root source, the heaven path dao
marks, to make its deductions. Thus, each deduction was extremely precise
about the content.

Immortal tribulation tempering aperture, luck path methods, myriad beings

assimilation transformation, exposing heavenly secret… Fang Yuan had all of
these methods, it was a pity that he could not use them now.

The heaven path dao marks restricted his actions, he could not activate any of
these moves.

Only by using human path methods to resist heaven path could Fang Yuan
gain some time and opportunity to activate other killer moves. Like earlier in
Heavenly Court when he used unlimited qi sea killer move to deal with
primordial qi wall.

Fang Yuan had a human path formation in sovereign immortal aperture that
used the thousand wish tree as the core. But heaven’s will was not stupid, it
knew about Fang Yuan’s information. Myriad destruction lightning forest also
appeared in Mini Central Continent, it was attacking the human path
formation, making Fang Yuan trapped in a tighter spot.

Roar—!

Beast growls resounded, a large group of soul beasts moved out towards the
lightning clouds in the sky.

They charged relentlessly without any concern about their own lives.

These were all soul beasts, most were desolate beasts, there were some
ancient soul beasts and four immemorial soul beasts.
These soul beasts were all captured by Fang Yuan in green ghost desert.
Among them, the immemorial soul beasts were enslaved when Fang Yuan
helped Fang clan to obtain Divine Bean Palace.

These soul beasts were usually kept in Mini Black Heaven.

Right now, Fang Yuan was facing a crisis, he had to make use of them.

The soul beasts were extremely fragile under the myriad tribulation, they
were completely defenseless. In just a while, a hundred desolate level soul
beasts perished from the lightning bolts, more than ten ancient soul beasts
died as well.

Fang Yuan’s heart was cold as ice, he did not waver.

The soul beast group had already served its purpose, it drew the firepower
away and took away the pressure, allowing Fang Yuan to gain some time.

This included the immemorial soul beasts, without Immortal Gu, they were
just high tier cannon fodder against the myriad tribulation, but they were still
useful as meat shields after all.

Fang Yuan did not dare to use the soul beasts against Spectral Soul.

The truth was, after Spectral Soul took control of the year beasts, Fang Yuan
gave up on this aspect.

A huge amount of strength flowed like a tidal wave into Spectral Soul’s
body.

Qing Chou struggled intensely, using killer moves to attack itself manically.
However, Spectral Soul endured Qing Chou’s attacks forcefully as he
continued to drain its strength.

Soul beasts existed in this world because Spectral Soul created soul path.

Spectral Soul understood soul beasts too well, not only could he make them
loyal to him, he also has methods to extract strength from them to replenish
himself.
Qing Chou’s struggles became weaker and weaker.

Spectral Soul looked at Qing Chou with great satisfaction, the hatred Gu
within its body was already reaching completion, this fool was simply
sending itself to death while contributing treasures as well.

Spectral Soul suppressed Qing Chou while keeping his attention on Dragon
Palace, all along, he did not relax, he stared at Fang Yuan’s main body
without looking away.

The entire situation was still under his control!

Whoosh!

Suddenly, winds blew as the air rumbled, two giant hands slammed towards
Spectral Soul from the left and right.

One hand was black while the other was white, they were grand and
majestic, containing deep profundities, it was the qi path killer move — Yin-
yang Great Killer Hands!

At the crucial moment, Fang Yuan’s qi path clone arrived.

Spectral Soul smiled coldly, black smoke spewing out of his body, from the
smoke, two immemorial soul beasts flew out and slammed into the two qi
path giant hands.

The qi path hands grabbed as the two immemorial soul beasts growled in
pain, but they did not die just yet.

Qi Sea Ancestor could neither let go of them nor continue grabbing them at
this moment.

If he grabbed onto them, his offensive momentum would be halted. If he let

go, these two immemorial soul beasts would still attack him later.

Qi Sea Ancestor shouted as he waved both hands, letting them fly far away,
bringing the immemorial soul beasts away from the battlefield.
Spectral Soul’s goal was achieved, he used two immemorial soul beasts to
restrain Qi Sea Ancestor while also wasting his energy. After all, Qi Sea
Ancestor had to sustain the two qi path hands to trap the immemorial soul
beasts.

Qi Sea and Spectral Soul’s first round of fighting ended up as a simple

exchange.

Spectral Soul used two immemorial soul beasts while Qi Sea Ancestor
wasted some mental energy, immortal essence, timing. Both sides were
evenly matched, in fact Spectral Soul lost a bit more, after all, the
immemorial soul beasts had rank eight battle strength!

But looking at the big picture, Spectral Soul’s gains were slightly higher, he
still continued to control the situation.

Because he controlled Soul Pacifying grotto-heaven secretly, it had many

immemorial soul beasts, losing two was no issue. In contrast, Qi Sea failed
to use this opportunity well, he originally wanted to disrupt Spectral Soul but
was interrupted, this chance was wasted.

Spectral Soul made use of his advantage well, he continued to absorb Qing
Chou’s strength to strengthen himself while weakening Qing Chou. On the
whole, he had gained a lot from this first round of combat.

This round was just a tiny projection of their fight, yet it showed Spectral
Soul’s abundant and rich battle experience, his vision loomed over the entire
battlefield. His control of combat was so precise and flawless, even
someone like Fang Yuan felt stifled.

Fang Yuan was not giving up obviously, he focused on repairing Dragon

Palace while asking Qi Sea Ancestor to attack again.

Spectral Soul focused on three things at once, he suppressed Dragon Palace

and used the black smoke spiral to damage it, he absorbed Qing Chou’s soul
beast strength, he also used killer moves to resist Qi Sea Ancestor’s attacks.
Dragon Palace, Qing Chou, and Qi Sea Ancestor, these were three entities
with top tier battle strength in the world, yet they could not turn the situation
around even by being on the same side!

To speak the truth, Spectral Soul’s current strength was not too impressive,
but he had the complete dominance over Dragon Palace, he countered Qing
Chou’s abilities, and he even knew about Qi Sea Ancestor’s information.

“His soul path methods are used in succession, the moves complement each
other and are tightly connected, this is an exceptional combat system. In
contrast, my Qi Sea clone has only existed for a short period of time, he has
too few methods that are all easily countered.” Fang Yuan’s main body
understood the reason.

Qi Sea clone’s most common offensive method was yin-yang great killer
hands and his main defensive method was heavenly astral cloth robe. His
foundation was too low, when observed by Spectral Soul, after just a few
exchanges of moves, he would be able to create a countermeasure easily.

Be it battle strength, knowledge, or experience, Spectral Soul stood at the

peak of the world. After all, he was once the invincible Demon Venerable
that dominated the world!

Among the generations of venerables, Spectral Soul was publicly recognized

as the one with the deepest killing intent.

He had gone through intense battles, he fought his way to the top, he was an
expert that carved out his own bloody path through countless hurdles!

Under his venerable throne, there was a mountain of skeletons and sea of
corpses.
Chapter 2043: Dragon Palace Escapes
“Qi Sea Ancestor, how is the situation over there?” Amidst intense battle,
Fang Yuan’s clone Qi Sea received Qin Ding Ling’s transmission.

Qi Sea Ancestor did not speak, he recorded the scene of the battle using an
information path Gu worm and sold it to Qin Ding Ling in treasure yellow
heaven.

Heavenly Court soon gained an understanding of the battle situation.

Qin Ding Ling was slightly shocked internally, Spectral Soul’s strength far
surpassed her initial estimations, it seemed like Qi Sea Ancestor could not
restrain Spectral Soul, at this rate, Spectral Soul might likely kill Fang Yuan
and defeat Qi Sea, he would also absorb Qing Chou, he would be the greatest
winner in this clash!

This was something Qin Ding Ling did not want to see.

Fang Yuan and Spectral Soul were supreme demons, it would be great if they
both perished, the best scenario would be Longevity Heaven going down
with them! That was the result Qin Ding Ling most wanted to see.

“We have our Immortal Gu House, if we join the fight, we can cause some
changes to it. Even though Qing Chou is strong, it is a mistake to use it
against Spectral Soul. Looking at Spectral Soul’s actions, it seems that he is
sure that Fang Yuan is inside Dragon Palace. Then has Fairy Zi Wei already
succeeded in her deductions and informed Spectral Soul?”

Qin Ding Ling guessed the truth but she was not certain.

She looked at the operating wisdom path formation and Calamity Luck Altar
beside it.

If Heavenly Court could exterminate Fairy Zi Wei and the rest, that would be
the best. Clipping Spectral Soul’s wings prematurely would result in fewer
variables in this battle. It was a pity that Calamity Luck Altar was here, most
of Longevity Heaven’s experts came along with it, Qin Ding Ling was not
confident of taking down Fairy Zi Wei at this moment.

“Longevity Heaven…” Qin Ding Ling gritted her teeth.

Among the Heavenly Court Gu Immortals present, she hated Longevity

Heaven most deeply. Back then, she was forced to become Giant Sun’s
immortal concubine. She endured this humiliation and successfully switched
to cultivating luck path, she eventually participated in the fate war. But at the
crucial moment, Giant Sun immortal zombie’s attack tilted the balance of the
final battle in his favor.

“Longevity Heaven, I will settle the scores with you one day!” Qin Ding Ling
swore in her heart.

Right when Qin Ding Ling was thinking, a rank seven Immortal Gu House
flew over.

This Immortal Gu House was owned by Spirit Affinity House, the first
supreme elder and second supreme elder were inside it as they brought along
an important person, Feng Jin Huang.

“Feng Jin Huang, quickly retrieve the dream realms before us.” Qin Ding
Ling ordered.

“Yes.” The door of the Immortal Gu House opened as Feng Jin Huang stood
on the steps, quickly using her method with a solemn expression.

She had dream wings Immortal Gu and the modified pure dream reality
seeker transformation. In fact, this killer move was created by Fairy Zi Wei’s
deductions.

As dream realms turned into human form, they flew into Spirit Affinity
House’s Immortal Gu House.

Shadow Sect and Longevity Heaven were stirred.

Fairy Zi Wei’s eyes shined with brilliance.

Old Man Zheng Yuan quickly asked: “Fairy, do we take action?”

After all, these dream realms belonged by Spectral Soul, his attainment
levels were inside them.

Fairy Zi Wei shook her head: “We will wait for now, these dream realms are
just a small portion, they are not important. Fang Yuan is our main priority!”

At the moment, Spectral Soul’s side had a clear advantage. At this rate of
development, Shadow Sect was greatly favored. Fairy Zi Wei did not want to
upset the balance now and disrupt the overall situation.

Feng Jin Huang was just a rank five Gu Master, she was not even a rank six
Gu Immortal. But her status was quite unique, she was Feng Jiu Ge’s
daughter!

If anyone attacked her, it might cause Feng Jiu Ge to come.

Feng Jiu Ge’s future self had likely disappeared, similar to Hei Lou Lan and
Bai Ning Bing. But even so, with Feng Jiu Ge’s own strength, he could
participate in this fight, he was an uncertain variable.

Especially when this variable was not favorable for Shadow Sect, Fairy Zi
Wei wanted to have less problems if possible.

Calamity Luck Altar’s Bing Sai Chuan had the same thought, he did not make
a move in the end.

Feng Jin Huang was heavily protected by Heavenly Court’s immortals as she
gradually collected the dream realms.

Qin Ding Ling had a complex emotion.

She eventually made this move, using Feng Jin Huang and thus, Feng Jiu Ge
indirectly to intimidate their opponents. Since when did the great Heavenly
Court fall to such a level?

The pride in Qin Ding Ling’s heart pressured her, but the logic in her mind
told her to use all of the resources and influences they could gather!
Qi Sea Ancestor transmitted information again, requesting for Heavenly
Court’s reinforcement.

Qin Ding Ling rejected his request politely, asking him to persevere some
more time.

Thus, Qi Sea Ancestor changed his request: “Sorrowful Wind Mountain

Range is closest to Black Heaven Temple, why don’t you ask them to send an
Immortal Gu House to patrol the periphery of the battlefield. If I am unable to
stop Spectral Soul from killing Fang Yuan, we can still rely on Black Heaven
Temple.”

Qin Ding Ling thought about it but did not tell Qi Sea Ancestor about her
orders to Black Heaven Temple, she rejected: “Black Heaven Temple is not
strong enough to participate in this battle.”

Qi Sea Ancestor replied angrily: “This is a prime opportunity! If Heavenly

Court hesitates and loses the chance, either one of these two demons getting
stronger will be a problem for the righteous path.”

Qin Ding Ling sighed: “Why wouldn’t I know that? But Heavenly Court is not
as before, we need to act cautiously. If we send Black Heaven Temple’s Gu
Immortals there, they would only die in vain. Please understand our plight!”

Qi Sea Ancestor felt a little dejected. Since Heavenly Court’s leader openly
spoke of their weakness, they were really not the Heavenly Court of before,
their style of action changed, Fang Yuan could not make use of them easily
anymore.

While Qin Ding Ling and Qi Sea Ancestor spoke secretly, Demon Immortal
Qi Jue was also asking Spectral Soul: “Fang Yuan’s main body is here, why
aren’t you coming here?”

Fang Yuan placed his will in Myriad Year Flying Warship, he also left
behind Immortal Gu and immortal essence, under the effect of familiar face
killer move, he could disguise his will very well.
Demon Immortal Qi Jue told Spectral Soul about this but the latter continued
to fight Dragon Palace, not showing signs of leaving. This made Demon
Immortal Qi Jue quite suspicious.

Spectral Soul directly replied: “Don’t forget about Fang Yuan’s familiar
face. We cannot be sure of his location.”

Demon Immortal Qi Jue became increasingly suspicious: “Spectral Soul, are

you hiding something from me?”

Spectral Soul replied: “Don’t worry, just continue restraining Myriad Year
Flying Warship, you will get your due remuneration.”

But Demon Immortal Qi Jue did not fall for it, he smiled coldly: “Don’t
worry indeed, I have a brilliant plan to find out which is Fang Yuan’s main
body.”

Saying so, he suddenly stopped dealing with Myriad Year Flying Warship as
he flew towards Spectral Soul’s direction.

Myriad Year Flying Warship was stunned for a moment before quickly
pulling away from Demon Immortal Qi Jue.

Spectral Soul sensed something amiss, he quickly transmitted: “Qi Jue, don’t
do anything foolish.”

But Demon Immortal Qi Jue was firm: “Sometimes, we need to take a chance
right? Or maybe, you can tell me the information that you just obtained?”

Spectral Soul snorted but did not reply.

Demon Immortal Qi Jue turned silent as he flew into the sky with an
increased speed.

In a few breaths of time, Myriad Year Flying Warship appeared behind him
again.

Seeing this, Demon Immortal Qi Jue laughed loudly: “Oh Spectral Soul, look,
I found out the truth already. I can be certain that Fang Yuan’s main body is
inside Dragon Palace now!”

If Fang Yuan’s main body was inside Myriad Year Flying Warship, he would
have flown away already. But now, Myriad Year Flying Warship returned to
stall Demon Immortal Qi Jue, it showed that Fang Yuan’s main body was
unwilling to see Spectral Soul gain reinforcements, he had to stop Demon
Immortal Qi Jue from leaving.

At this moment, Fang Yuan’s plan to deceive his enemies by splitting up has
failed completely.

Demon Immortal Qi Jue was a famous demon in history, his seniority was
higher than everyone here, including Spectral Soul.

After sensing something wrong, he quickly tested his method to find out the
truth.

Spectral Soul snorted coldly, showing displeasure. With Demon Immortal Qi

Jue’s move, the situation got out of Spectral Soul’s control.

Spectral Soul was just using Qi Jue by promising benefits, they were wary of
each other in essence, their relationship was merely because of mutual gains.
The reason why Spectral Soul did not want Demon Immortal Qi Jue to come
over was because this uncertain variable could possibly get greedy and fight
with him over the immense benefits of killing Fang Yuan!

Right now, from Demon Immortal Qi Jue’s actions, it showed that Spectral
Soul’s worries were well justified. Demon Immortal Qi Jue definitely had
his own ideas.

But Spectral Soul did not fluster.

Back when he lured Demon Immortal Qi Jue to join the battle, he had already
thought of this. But there was no helping it, Spectral Soul had just regained
his strength, Shadow Sect was still very weak. Because of the many
variables in this battle, Spectral Soul had to increase the strength of his side,
it was thanks to Fairy Zi Wei communicating with Longevity Heaven earlier,
to rope them in with Shadow Sect temporarily, otherwise the situation would
have been even more chaotic.

Did Bing Sai Chuan had no such intentions either? Was he really going to
watch Spectral Soul kill Fang Yuan like that?

Of course not.

Fairy Zi Wei was a wisdom path great expert, she had deep considerations.
She created the formation in front of Heavenly Court, it was to restrain them
as well as Longevity Heaven.

This battle to kill Fang Yuan was not as grand as the fate war but it involved
four parties, tens of Gu Immortals, and almost all of the peak experts in the
current world.

These people plotted against each other and schemed deeply, Spectral Soul
could sense acutely that his control over the situation was slipping.

Immortal killer move — Qi Wall!

During the intense battle, Qi Sea Ancestor pushed with both hands as a
colossal qi wall formed instantly.

The qi wall was like a mountain as it pressed towards Spectral Soul.

Spectral Soul pointed with his fingers as several immemorial soul beasts
appeared, growling as they blocked the qi wall.

But Qi Sea Ancestor shouted suddenly as he raised his right fist, he spread
out his fingers as his palm targeted Spectral Soul from afar.

Spectral Soul seemed to have sensed something as black smoke appeared

around him in a ball shape, shielding him.

The moment Qi Sea Ancestor’s killer move was ready, he moved his palm
away and targeted the black smoke spiral instead.

Immortal killer move — Great Qi Hand Explosion!

Bam.

Following an intense explosion, the black smoke spiral was completely torn
apart as black qi flew all over the place. Dragon Palace which was greatly
damaged moved quickly as it drew a golden trail of light in the sky, rapidly
escaping!

At this point in the battle, Dragon Palace finally broke free.

Spectral Soul’s attention was drawn by Demon Immortal Qi Jue, Qi Sea

Ancestor found this small loophole and quickly made use of his opportunity
with some luck.

Spectral Soul looked at Qi Sea Ancestor deeply, other than intense anger and
killing intent, there was also praise and admiration in his gaze.

Qi Sea Ancestor had made a brilliant move!

Now that Dragon Palace had escaped, Spectral Soul had to keep up with it,
he had to abandon the heavy Qing Chou.

It was such a pity! Spectral Soul was only a bit of time away from
completely subduing Qing Chou.
Chapter 2044: Leaving Stealthily
“Fang Yuan, where are you trying to escape to?” Spectral Soul smiled coldly,
black smoke oozing out of his body.

An immemorial soul beast as large as a giant python flew out of the black
smoke, it pounced at Dragon Palace with strong winds around it.

The orange-golden light flickered on Dragon Palace as a trace of pink smoke

flew out.

With the movement of the smoke, the immemorial soul beast easily got
suppressed inside Dragon Palace without putting up a resistance.

It was immortal killer move — Dreamy Light Smoke!

Spectral Soul was only afraid of this method from Dragon Palace, but now
that it was used, he immediately used the opportunity to move with increased
speed, approaching Dragon Palace like a specter.

Immortal killer move — Qi Wall!

Qi Sea Ancestor pushed with both hands as winds blew wildly, a giant qi
wall appeared out of nowhere and blocked Spectral Soul.

Spectral Soul snorted coldly, breaking the qi wall but losing his battle
opportunity.

Dragon Palace changed directions, the aura of dreamy light smoke became
denser again.

Behind it, Qing Chou roared and wanted to chase them but it was powerless,
in a few breaths of time, it was left in the dust.

Dragon Palace, Spectral Soul, and Qi Sea Ancestor fought while they
traveled rapidly in the sky.
Qi Sea Ancestor played the role of a nuisance perfectly, he prevented
Spectral Soul from succeeding multiple times.

Spectral Soul became annoyed, he started to attack Qi Sea Ancestor

aggressively.

But at this time, Dragon Palace suddenly retaliated as it shielded Qi Sea

Ancestor. Especially with the killer move dreamy light smoke ready to strike
at any moment, Spectral Soul could not act too aggressively.

Thus, the situation went into a deadlock!

Spectral Soul had not returned to his peak condition, thus, when fighting
against Dragon Palace and Qi Sea Ancestor, his battle strength was not much
higher. Once they cooperated and assisted each other, even Spectral Soul felt
a sense of helplessness, he could not fight against both enemies, targeting one
of them would allow the other to act, it was hard to take action now.

At this time, Spectral Soul could not help but think of Qing Chou.

“I should not have weakened Qing Chou to this extent. If it still had some
battle strength left, it would disrupt their cooperation!” Spectral Soul felt a
little regret.

He was all alone and did not need cooperation, but Fang Yuan and Qi Sea
Ancestor were different, they had to work together intrinsically to resist
Spectral Soul.

Qing Chou was overwhelmed by rage, once it joined the battle, it would ruin
Fang Yuan and Qi Sea Ancestor’s cooperation, Spectral Soul would have a
lot of opportunities to strike.

But what Spectral Soul did earlier was not wrong either. If he could subdue
Qing Chou completely, Spectral Soul’s advantage would rise, he would
almost certainly claim victory.

It was a pity Qi Sea Ancestor ruined it!

He was merely a step away from completely subduing Qing Chou, but just
that bit of time would allow Fang Yuan to escape from them, Spectral Soul
could not take the risk.

This time, Spectral Soul had the advantage of being undercover, but what
about next time?

Once Fang Yuan becomes cautious against him, would he have another
chance?

Even Spectral Soul could not be sure.

Despite Fairy Zi Wei’s deduction method, would Fang Yuan be unable to

counter it?

Heavenly Court was the best example, they could not capture Fang Yuan
despite countless efforts.

What was the outcome?

Fang Yuan got stronger and stronger, he fought his way to Heavenly Court and
destroyed fate Gu!

Even though Fang Yuan was backed by many individuals who paved the way
for him, what made all of these people invest in him?

Were there no better candidates?

Even for otherworldly demons, there were many of them in the world.

Fang Yuan was used by heaven’s will and all these people, he was obviously
someone who was unique and had great value.

Forget about the rest, just his ability to escape was something even Spectral
Soul felt admiration towards.

Fang Yuan’s attainment in escaping was very deep, he had a scheming and
crafty mind! He was most skilled by borrowing others’ strength, he could
escape under the thumbs of many powerful forces, quickly raising his strength
over time.

Spectral Soul had such rich battle experience, he knew deeply that someone
like Fang Yuan had to be dealt with seriously. Once he struck, it had to be a
fatal blow, he could not give Fang Yuan any time to rest or recuperate. This
enemy was too good at making use of opportunity, he could easily gain a new
lease on life and turn the situation around.

Fang Yuan was the type of person who could shine with a bit of sunlight,
sprout with a bit of water, or create great problems with just a bit of time.

Indeed, Spectral Soul was wary against Fang Yuan.

Even he had to admit this truth.

Because he saw a trace of himself in Fang Yuan!

“Fang Yuan, defending will lead to your eventual loss, how long can you
last? I will definitely kill you!” Spectral Soul said coldly, not forgetting to
exert mental pressure on Fang Yuan.

“Qi Sea, after this battle, even if you hide, I will find you in Eastern Sea. I
will destroy your qi sea and kill all of your subordinates!” Spectral Soul
turned around and threatened Qi Sea Ancestor.

Qi Sea clone replied calmly: “The so-called Demon Venerable is actually

resorting to trash talking.”

Spectral Soul smiled coldly.

Qi Sea Ancestor’s expression quickly changed, black smoke appeared

around him as it started to invade his body.

Spectral Soul used words to distract Qi Sea Ancestor, even though this was
not a weakness, in Spectral Soul’s eyes, it was enough to create an
opportunity for himself!
Qi Sea Ancestor quickly evaded it as Spectral Soul wanted to pursue him,
Dragon Palace flew over and blocked Spectral Soul, bearing some of Qi Sea
Ancestor’s burden.

Qi Sea Ancestor exerted all his strength to alleviate the problem on him, after
regaining his footing, he went back into the battle.

It was a deadlock once again.

But this time, no matter how Spectral Soul provoked him, Qi Sea Ancestor
showed no carelessness.

Like this, the three sides fought and whipped up countless storms, the impact
of their clash spreading towards the northern direction.

They flew past Sorrowful Wind Mountain Range, entering Intestinal Gorge.

Black Heaven Temple’s immortals were hiding in Intestinal Gorge.

Several Immortal Gu Houses were concealed around Intestinal Gorge,

leaking no aura at all.

Seeing that the battle far away was approaching them, Black Heaven
Temple’s immortals immediately turned excited.

“Coming, they’re coming!”

“They’re finally here.”

“The battle is so intense, is that female immortal Spectral Soul who is using
the body temporarily?”

“Dragon Palace has been heavily damaged, Fang Yuan has no battle strength
left, I’ve never seen him in a more pathetic state.”

“He deserves it! If not for him, fate Gu would not have been destroyed. Be it
Spectral Soul or Fang Yuan, they deserve to die!”
Black Heaven Temple’s immortals gritted their teeth, they had a different
tone when speaking of Qi Sea Ancestor.

“When we take action later, we should avoid Qi Sea Ancestor.”

“It was all thanks to him that Heavenly Court’s qi harvest fruit was
completely removed.”

“He is our alliance mate, he does not know that we are here in ambush, we
cannot harm him.”

Even though Qi Sea Ancestor and Dragon Palace were working together,
Black Heaven Temple’s Gu Immortals did not feel surprised. Spectral Soul
was too strong, they had to work together to resist him. Precisely because of
Qi Sea Ancestor’s hard work, Fang Yuan and Spectral Soul were still
opposing each other, expending their energy.

“Close, they are close.”

“Let’s do it!”

Black Heaven Temple’s Gu Immortals were ready to strike.

Pew!

Right at this moment, Spectral Soul unleashed an aggressive killer move,

black smoke rumbled as dark winds howled, several mountains were
affected by the winds and instantly got disintegrated into dust.

Bam.

Qi Sea Ancestor had to unleash qi wall killer move to resist the dark winds.

Dragon Palace released intense golden light, shooting out a grand light pillar
to fight offense with offense, attacking Spectral Soul.

Right when the pillar was about to hit, Spectral Soul’s body flickered as he
vanished on the spot, evading the light pillar easily.
The light pillar tore through the sky, it was over a thousand feet long, creating
a huge trench on the ground. At that instance, smoke rose as countless
mountains collapsed.

A brand new artificially created Earth Trench appeared before the eyes of
the Black Heaven Temple immortals!

After this eruption of attacks, Spectral Soul no longer had a chance to attack,
he quickly stopped and continued to fight against Qi Sea and Dragon Palace
as they flew away.

The Black Heaven Temple immortals hiding in the Immortal Gu Houses were
silent.

The battle they saw earlier shook their minds and bodies!

“So this is their real battle strength!” Many people understood this and broke
out in cold sweat.

Nobody spoke about attacking anymore.

The atmosphere was quite awkward.

Eventually, Black Heaven Temple’s first supreme elder coughed and broke
the silence.

He purposely mumbled to himself: “No wonder Heavenly Court’s Lady Qin

asked us to wait here and observe the situation.”

“Indeed, indeed, Lady Qin is very wise.”

“What do we do now?”

“Let’s continue waiting in ambush, they did not discover us. Maybe we will
get a chance again?”

“That is right, even if we do not gain any opportunities, we can’t come here
and do nothing right? We must collect information about this battle and
inform Lady Qin at least.”
Rumble!

Right when the Black Heaven Temple immortals were discussing, the intense
battle in the sky erupted again.

At once, the sky turned dark, earth shook as mountains rumbled.

The aftermath of their collision created huge air currents that surged out.
Trees were uprooted as mountain rocks flew, wild beasts cried out in pain, it
was the sight of an apocalypse.

Black Heaven Temple’s immortals watched with wide eyes as Spectral Soul
unleashed a black soul ball but Dragon Palace evaded it.

The soul ball fell into a nearby valley.

There was no sound, at the instance, with the valley as the core, the
surrounding thousand li of mountains and valleys turned into black dust that
flew away with the wind. The originally lively mountains vanished
soundlessly, only a huge crater was left.

Gulp.

Someone swallowed their saliva, it was clearly heard by the Gu Immortals.

“What was that killer move earlier? It is so strange!”

“There are no records of it in history.”

“It is not strange that Spectral Soul is able to use such powerful methods, but
if it landed on us…”

“Not just us, even our sect’s Immortal Gu Houses might not be able to
survive such an attack.”

“Let’s… leave? Lady Qin asked us to act according to the situation, we are
allowed to retreat if needed.”
Black Heaven Temple’s immortals looked at each other before turning to the
first supreme elder.

First supreme elder’s expression was extremely dark, he said with a solemn
tone: “We need to preserve our strength, we cannot waste it here. If we die
now, who will look after Black Heaven Temple? Lady Qin will not blame us,
we are planning for the future.”

The result was, Black Heaven Temple’s immortals came stealthily and
watched as the battle in the sky flew away, after that, they stealthily retreated
without a sound.
Chapter 2045: Myriad Tribulations
Transformation
“Fang Yuan, this is as far as you go!” Spectral Soul chased for some time
before attacking again, he was very confident this time.

At once, dark winds howled, black clouds filled the sky, it was like an
immensely thick wall appeared before Dragon Palace.

“This is… quickly retreat!” At this moment, Wu Shuai’s expression turned

nervous, he noticed that this was a soul path battlefield killer move!

Black clouds spread out as Dragon Palace and Qi Sea Ancestor quickly
retreated.

Immortal killer move — Soul Taker Battlefield!

This was Spectral Soul’s famous battlefield killer move.

Spectral Soul had used this move to kill countless enemies. Once the
battlefield was activated, dark blue soul beasts would be formed within the
dense fog, there would be countless soul beasts that appeared unceasingly.
Living beings who died in this battlefield would have their souls taken and
transformed into soul beasts, under the control of the killer move’s user.

When Dragon Palace was trapped by the black smoke spiral, there was still
hope of escaping. But if it got trapped by soul taker battlefield, the chances of
escaping would be close to zero.

Fang Yuan had Shadow Sect’s true inheritance, soul taker battlefield was
included in this inheritance, he knew a lot about the move.

But now, Spectral Soul used this move openly, it was likely that he had
already modified and improved upon it. In fact, Fang Yuan’s knowledge
might be a trap from Spectral Soul.
At this moment, Fang Yuan and Qi Sea Ancestor did not dare to continue
fighting, they quickly focused on escaping.

Spectral Soul rode on the endless black smoke as he chased after them.

When ordinary Gu Immortals used battlefield killer moves, they would need
to cancel it if it could not trap the enemy.

But was Spectral Soul ordinary?

He used the split move technique to split soul taker battlefield into many
parts. The first part was the black smoke, Spectral Soul could sustain it and
move it around without any problem or weakness.

“Soul taker battlefield was created by Spectral Soul in his early days, he
used it until the later part of his life. By then, he created an even stronger
battlefield killer move — Hundred Million Slaughterfield. Why isn’t he
using the stronger killer move? Unless, he does not have the necessary Gu
worms?” Fang Yuan guessed.

Spectral Soul was also guessing: “After escaping from Heavenly Court, Fang
Yuan has been going north. Where is he trying to go? Northern Plains? If it is
Northern Plains, which location is he going to? Crazed Demon Cave?”

Now that the five regions were united and the regional walls vanished,
Spectral Soul had a huge advantage. Without the regional walls, Fang Yuan
only has several ways to shrug off these pursuers.

Spectral Soul was very familiar with the five regions, he guessed Crazed
Demon Cave at the first try.

Even if Spectral Soul could not be certain, he knew that stopping Fang Yuan
from going to the north was a wise decision. Thus, Spectral Soul moved his
black smoke to spread out across the surroundings, forcing Fang Yuan to
change directions as he flew back to Sorrowful Wind Mountain Range.

At the same time, in another battlefield.

“I’m done.” Feng Jin Huang panted heavily as she stopped her killer move.
Her forehead was covered in sweat. Using pure dream reality seeker
transformation killer move like this placed a huge pressure on her.

But it was done now.

Under the supervision of Heavenly Court, Shadow Sect, and Longevity

Heaven, more than ten rank eight Gu Immortals watched as Feng Jin Huang
kept all of the dream realms away.

Fang Yuan was nowhere in sight!

“Fang Yuan was not hiding here after all.” The Gu Immortals were
disappointed but also sighed in relief secretly.

Qin Ding Ling immediately asked as she moved her Immortal Gu House
closer to the wisdom path formation: “Fairy Zi Wei, I’ve given you so much
time. Right now, tell me, where is Fang Yuan’s main body?”

Calamity Luck Altar quickly moved ahead as it blocked Qin Ding Ling, Bing
Sai Chuan’s voice resounded from within: “Slow down, immortal concubine
from Heavenly Court!”

He called Qin Ding Ling an immortal concubine, he was referring to her past
as Giant Sun Immortal Venerable’s woman.

But soon, Bing Sai Chuan changed the subject to Fairy Zi Wei: “But I hold the
same suspicions as Immortal Concubine Qin. Fairy Zi Wei, I hope you can
give us a satisfactory answer.”

Bing Sai Chuan could not wait either.

Because after such a long time, Fairy Zi Wei still had not given them an
answer, it was not like what she said to them earlier.

Fairy Zi Wei stopped using the wisdom path formation as she collected the
Gu worms.
She made up an excuse on the spot: “The situation is different from last time,
Fang Yuan is prepared against us. However, I found his location after all.”

“Where?” Qin Ding Ling asked immediately.

Fairy Zi Wei had already kept away her core Immortal Gu, she answered:
“Fang Yuan is in Dragon Palace.”

She spoke the truth.

Trying to keep Fang Yuan’s location a secret now was pointless.

Demon Immortal Qi Jue had his own plan, he was already heading towards
Spectral Soul’s location, Myriad Year Flying Warship followed closely
behind it.

From one glance, it was obvious where Fang Yuan’s main body was.

“We will pursue them!” Qin Ding Ling ordered.

Heavenly Court’s Immortal Gu Houses started to fly together as they guarded

each other.

Shadow Sect and Longevity Heaven also followed suit.

But the three parties were quite spaced apart, the atmosphere was a little
tense.

Fairy Zi Wei’s side was quite helpless here, she wanted to stop Heavenly
Court here but the alliance with Longevity Heaven was not reliable, they
were only allied in name.

As for Heavenly Court?

Qin Ding Ling could not confirm the truth behind Fairy Zi Wei’s words, but
since Fang Yuan was not inside the dream realms, he had to be in Dragon
Palace or Myriad Year Flying Warship. Looking at Spectral Soul’s actions, it
was more likely that Fang Yuan was inside Dragon Palace.
Before they found Fang Yuan’s main body, Qin Ding Ling did not want to
target Fairy Zi Wei. It was too much of a waste of time now, and in this
period, if either Spectral Soul or Fang Yuan claims victory while Heavenly
Court was not around, it would be a huge loss.

For Longevity Heaven, Bing Sai Chuan also wanted to see how things
progressed. He did not want to act rashly, because their strength was not
enough to suppress everyone, he needed to use his timing well and target
Fang Yuan. If he managed to kill Fang Yuan, the gains would be immense.

All three groups targeted Fang Yuan.

It was really a rare chance to kill Fang Yuan, the opportunity would not
present itself twice.

Boom!

With a loud sound, Dragon Palace crashed into a mountain like a shooting
star.

But Dragon Palace did not stop there, it went deep into the mountain’s
interior as a result of the huge force that sent it flying.

Qi Sea Ancestor quickly used qi wall to obstruct Spectral Soul from chasing
after it.

But Spectral Soul smiled coldly, he moved around Qing Chou.

Instantly, Qing Chou’s eyes turned red as it attacked furiously.

Qi Sea Ancestor’s attacks were stopped by Qing Chou, using this chance,
Spectral Soul flew downwards.

At the moment of crisis, a heavily damaged Dragon Palace flew out of the
smoke, dodging Spectral Soul’s assault.

Not long ago, Qing Chou joined in the battle against Spectral Soul, but it was
made use of instead.
Fang Yuan fell into danger again, Dragon Palace suffered a heavy blow, it
was about to break, it could only escape and stall for some time.

The outside battle was tense, but inside Fang Yuan’s sovereign immortal
aperture, a change had occurred even though the myriad tribulation was still
rampaging.

Fang Yuan sacrificed his soul beast group resolutely, not only did they bear
the brunt of the tribulation, heaven’s will’s attention was also drawn away.

The pressure on Fang Yuan lifted by a bit, there was finally a chance for him
to activate the human path formation again.

The human path formation erupted with great might as a grand white light
pillar shot into the sky, into the depths of the lightning clouds.

At once, the myriad tribulation’s lightning clouds froze.

Using this chance, Combat Beast King attacked, scattering countless Gu

worms in the sky.

Fang Yuan’s divine sense enveloped them as he set up a formation rapidly.

In order to make this counterattack, he had made ample preparations. With

his deep formation path attainment, he quickly created a formation in the sky.

Heaven’s will reacted after that, sending lightning bolts to attack together.

Combat Beast King roared as he intercepted the lightning bolts without

dodging.

After over ten breaths of time, his star armor shattered, he fell to the ground
while bathed in blood.

With a loud sound, he created a pit on the ground as he fell unconscious,

either dead or alive.

Lightning bolts shot towards the formation again.

At the critical moment, the formation’s set up finally succeeded as it turned
into a huge basin.

The basin shot out profound light that had a mysterious attractive force, it
absorbed all of the lightning bolts that shot out.

The myriad tribulation was very fierce but the basin successfully absorbed
and turned it into a pool of lightning plasma.

The lightning bolts continued to attack while the lightning pool grew in
volume.

The lightning pool was not special, it was a common resource point for
lightning path cultivators, almost all lightning path Gu Immortals would
create one in their immortal aperture. It was like how light path Gu Immortals
would create a Five Light Mountain.

But this lightning pool’s appearance was a huge help to Fang Yuan, it bore
the brunt of this myriad destruction lightning forest tribulation. It was even
more effective than the old Combat Beast King.

This was because this lightning pool’s core was not ordinary, it was a rank
eight Immortal Gu that Fang Yuan had — Lightning Gu!

But good times did not last, heaven’s will controlled the myriad tribulation to
target the newly formed lightning pool. As the water level of this pool rose
gradually, it was about to overflow.

Immortal killer move — Unrestrained Heavenly Mark!

Fang Yuan directly used this killer move on the deep blue plasma in the
lightning pool.

The plasma seemed to be made of lightning path dao marks, but it was
actually formed from a small portion of those three thousand heaven path dao
marks.

These dao marks were restrained by the lightning pool, they were sitting
ducks. Due to Fang Yuan’s killer move, they were quickly refined, the
efficiency was much higher than before!

One, two, five… ten dao marks!

The water level of the lightning pool stabilized before falling rapidly.

The lightning in the sky suddenly ceased.

Heaven’s will was not stupid, it knew that continuing with this would lead to
failure, Fang Yuan would gain much more instead.

It started to transform the myriad tribulation.

Heaven path was inclusive of everything, it contained lightning path, it could

turn into countless lighting bolts. It also contained other paths, it naturally had
all sorts of forms to take.

Since Fang Yuan made a countermeasure, heaven’s will immediately stopped

and changed its method to cause destruction to sovereign immortal aperture.

For ordinary myriad tribulations, the content would be fixed once it

appeared.

But Fang Yuan’s myriad tribulation was special, it was made of over three
thousand heaven path dao marks, heaven’s will controlled it personally, it
could change forms at will.

This undoubtedly raised the difficulty of Fang Yuan’s tribulation by many

times!

“This is too much…” As the old Combat Beast King woke up gradually, he
had already separated from the star sea snail. Deep within the pit, his old
body was buried in the fragments of the star sea snail, he looked at the
changing myriad tribulation as this old rank eight Gu Immortal showed a
deep expression of despair.

At the same time, in the external battlefield.

“Spectral Soul, I will lend you a hand!” Demon Immortal Qi Jue had finally
arrived.

Spectral Soul gained reinforcements but he had an unhappy expression, he

only snorted in reply.

He knew about Demon Immortal Qi Jue’s true intentions, but now was not the
time for internal conflict.
Chapter 2046: Falling for a Trap
Demon Immortal Qi Jue arrived and immediately attacked Qi Sea Ancestor.
The secluded domain of heaven and earth above his head, Xi Land, was too
powerful against qi path.

Qi Sea Ancestor was Dragon Palace’s greatest help, now that he was
restrained, Dragon Palace’s situation became more dangerous.

But soon, Myriad Year Flying Warship arrived too and started to join the
fight. Even though Fang Yuan faced much difficulty, he managed to drag this
fight on.

Spectral Soul yelled, his body moved like a specter, his palm landed on
Dragon Palace again.

Countless soul beast silhouettes appeared on the surface of Dragon Palace

like a series of still images, a portion of Dragon Palace shattered, it was
damaged both internally and externally.

Dragon Palace unleashed dreamy light smoke, Spectral Soul quickly

retreated.

At the next moment, Demon Immortal Qi Jue pointed at Dragon Palace

suddenly.

Qi currents gathered, they exploded instantly.

The exterior of Dragon Palace had already been blown to bits, only the main
hall was left. Now that it suffered this powerful attack from Demon Immortal
Qi Jue, a huge hole appeared on the roof of this main hall, it could be seen
from the outside.

Spectral Soul saw this and smiled coldly, not holding back his praise: “Qi
Jue, well done!”
At this stage, everyone knew that Dragon Palace was in grave danger, if they
worked harder, they would be able to shatter it entirely.

Fang Yuan and Qi Sea Ancestor could cooperate, Demon Immortal Qi Jue
and Spectral Soul could do the same as well!

After Demon Immortal Qi Jue joined the fight, he suppressed Qi Sea

Ancestor and cooperated with Spectral Soul. Even though they did not have
close coordination, these two had abundant battle experience, they could find
ways to work together.

And this cooperation pushed Dragon Palace beyond the brink of destruction.

When Fairy Zi Wei, Qin Ding Ling, and Bing Sai Chuan arrived, they saw
that Dragon Palace shattered into countless fragments as they scattered
everywhere.

Fang Yuan and Wu Shuai, who were inside Dragon Palace were exposed, but
they quickly went inside Myriad Year Flying Warship, which came to pick
them up.

Myriad Year Flying Warship was significantly faster than Dragon Palace, it
immediately moved away and escaped.

The three groups of immortals were stunned before feeling great joy.

“Quick, Fang Yuan is done for!”

“Dragon Palace was actually destroyed!!”

“Even though Myriad Year Flying Warship is fast, in terms of defense, it is

inferior to Dragon Palace.”

“We must kill Fang Yuan, we must restore Heavenly Court’s reputation.”

“Fang Yuan destroyed our Imperial Court blessed land, there is deep hatred
between him and Longevity Heaven. We will kill him and take all of his true
inheritances and Gu worms. We will pull out his soul and torture him for all
eternity!”
“Fang Yuan, it is finally time for Shadow Sect to take care of you.”

“We will kill Fang Yuan first before we compete among ourselves. We must
not let him have any chance of getting away during our conflict!”

The immortals rushed up, they pursued Fang Yuan with great enthusiasm.

This was the greatest predicament that Fang Yuan had ever been in since his
rebirth. He was currently chased by the top three super forces in the world,
most of the world’s strongest experts had gathered behind him. Qin Ding
Ling, Fairy Zi Wei, and Bing Sai Chuan were Gu Immortals that left a name
for themselves in history, there was even a fearsome being like Spectral
Soul.

“Fang Yuan, you cannot escape.” Spectral Soul smiled coldly to himself,
when he saw that everyone’s target was Fang Yuan, he did not chase them
away, he allowed everyone to pursue him.

“Stay attentive, defend against Spectral Soul and Longevity Heaven.” Qin
Ding Ling instructed.

This was truly an amazing sight.

Heavenly Court, Longevity Heaven, and Shadow Sect joined forces to pursue
Fang Yuan, but because of their mutual wariness, they did not go all out.

Fang Yuan did not create a situation where the three sides clashed because
they all were not simple characters. At the same time, Fang Yuan’s grudges
with them were too deep, the wealth that he held was also too alluring.

Even if they held back, they were still sufficiently strong, their killer moves
were all strange and unpredictable.

Not long afterwards, Myriad Year Flying Warship became covered in

damages, many Gu worm corpses fell off it while it flew and escaped.

“At this rate, there is no way out!” Wu Shuai shouted: “Main body, our road
to the north has been blocked, we can only go southwest now, this is
hopeless. We cannot last much longer, Myriad Year Flying Warship is much
frailer than Dragon Palace.”

Fang Yuan’s main body was sitting down and dealing with the myriad
tribulation, he instructed: “Go underground, see if there’s any hope
underground.”

Myriad Year Flying Warship was maneuvering in the sky, dodging Spectral
Soul’s black soul ball, but a large number of killer moves still landed on it.

The white ship defended against the barrage of killer moves, soon, a portion
of the ship turned dim as the white color turned to grey, it floated in the sky.
Next, it vanished into thin air after intense winds swept it away.

Myriad Year Flying Warship was like an injured flying fish, it dived
downwards, almost crashing to the ground.

“Follow it!”

“This ship will break with three more rounds of attacks.”

“Fang Yuan must die!”

“If we cannot obtain it, we will destroy the sovereign immortal aperture
along with him, we cannot let others benefit from this.”

The three forces made similar decisions as they ordered.

Boom!

Myriad Year Flying Warship dived down underground like a white meteor.

As dust clouds rumbled, earth shook but it could not scare off the pursuers,
they followed the hole that Myriad Year Flying Warship created as they
dived in.

Bam bam bam…

Many killer moves continued to land on Myriad Year Flying Warship.

Myriad Year Flying Warship was starting to break apart, it was in a critical
state.

“Hahaha, Fang Yuan made a foolish move, this is the underground, Myriad
Year Flying Warship can’t move easily while we can hit it with great
precision.”

“He can neither go up or down now! Fang Yuan, you demon, you slaughtered
innocents and harmed the world, today you will face retribution, this is all
just desserts!”

“Offending us will lead to your pitiful end!”

The immortals roared in anger.

Seeing that Fang Yuan was escaping in distress, all of the immortals’ morale
surged to a peak level.

They just needed to put in a bit more effort to see Fang Yuan die right in front
of them.

Within Myriad Year Flying Warship, Wu Shuai was covered in blood. With
such intense attacks, Myriad Year Flying Warship could not be repaired in
time.

Rumble…

After the immortals made their preparation, they started to attack again with a
new wave of moves.

Countless killer moves were unleashed with some distance between them,
trying to avoid nullifying each other, the terrifying wave of attacks swept
towards Myriad Year Flying Warship layer by layer.

“Die!”

Bam.
At the moment of life and death, Myriad Year Flying Warship crashed into the
rock in front and barged into a huge underground space.

Myriad Year Flying Warship had room to maneuver, it dodged most of the
killer moves and escaped destruction. It was like a drowning person
suddenly breathing in some air.

“What happened?”

“We entered Earth Abyss!”

“Is this Fang Yuan’s intention?”

“Chase him, we cannot let him escape.”

The immortals were stunned before charging through the rocks, arriving in
the underground space.

It turned out that while Spectral Soul chased Fang Yuan, they went towards
the southeast from Sorrowful Wind Mountain Range. Demon Immortal Qi Jue
came from the east, he cooperated with Spectral Soul to force Fang Yuan to
go southwest. Finally, because Fairy Zi Wei and the rest came from the south,
Fang Yuan had to go west in the end.

After traveling west for some time, they arrived in Ancient Soul Sect’s
territory.

Ancient Soul Sect was one of the ten great ancient sects, it had a long history,
one of Ancient Soul Sect’s territories was a huge underground abyss.

The underground abyss was at least hundreds of thousands of square

kilometers in size. The space was extremely large and the underground world
was deep and secluded. There were all sorts of caves and tunnels, some
were like labyrinths, some had giant underground lakes while some had flat
ground.

Countless lifeforms lived here, in Fang Yuan’s previous life, endless beast
tides emerged from Earth Abyss, attacking the surface and bringing disaster
to Central Continent.
Central Continent’s ten great ancient sects spent several years before they
were finally able to eradicate the beast tide from the surface. Afterwards,
both righteous and demonic path Gu Masters and Gu Immortals moved
together to explore Earth Abyss.

In the end, they found that this Earth Abyss was unfathomably deep, it had
layers after layers, by the time Fang Yuan used Spring Autumn Cicada, they
had already discovered a hundred and seven underground layers. It was
impossible to estimate how many layers were still left.

“The environment here is complex, there are many lifeforms, the lower we
go, the more immemorial desolate beasts there are, this is the best place to
escape to.” Wu Shuai who was within Myriad Year Flying Warship realized
at once.

Using Earth Abyss, Myriad Year Flying Warship’s situation started to

improve.

But Spectral Soul and the rest also understood Fang Yuan’s scheme.

Many Gu Immortals stopped attacking with their full strength, they were wary
against each other, but after getting so far, nobody wanted to give up.

Fang Yuan’s circumstances were dangerous, even though Myriad Year Flying
Warship was not taking as much damage as before, it was still slipping
towards the abyss of destruction.

Fang Yuan and Wu Shuai cooperated, they planned to the best of their ability,
using the terrain, but still could not shrug off these pursuers.

The only difference was that these pursuers were now grouped into different
categories.

The first and closest person to Myriad Year Flying Warship was Spectral
Soul.

Followed by Qi Sea Ancestor, Demon Immortal Qi Jue, and Qing Chou.

The final group was Heavenly Court, Longevity Heaven, Shadow Sect’s
Fairy Zi Wei, and the rest.

Boom!

Myriad Year Flying Warship, which was about to be destroyed, charged

through the rocks again as it went to a lower layer.

Countless bats flew and escaped in panic.

In this layer, there were countless bats living around, it was like a huge black
tide that had no end in sight.

Ordinary bats were turned into pulp by Myriad Year Flying Warship, while
alerted immemorial black bats attacked while moving against the tide.

In this layer, black bats were the absolute rulers, because Myriad Year Flying
Warship disturbed them, they were going to punish this daring invader.

“Oh?” Spectral Soul followed closely behind.

He saw the endless black bats, he became joyful and surprised.

“Fang Yuan, even heaven is not helping you, it seems that this layer will be
the place you die.” Spectral Soul suddenly howled.

As the howling sound spread out, innumerable black bats died, even ancient
black bats were not spared. Only immemorial black bats survived, they tried
to move with difficulty in the air.

Once Spectral Soul’s howling ended, countless bat souls appeared from
these bat corpses.

These souls quickly fused with his voice as black smoke enveloped Myriad
Year Flying Warship from all directions.

Myriad Year Flying Warship quickly disintegrated from the invasion of the
black smoke, it could not hold on anymore.
“Retrieve the core Immortal Gu, we will abandon ship!” Fang Yuan’s main
body ordered.

Like how they sacrificed Dragon Palace earlier, they took back the core
Immortal Gu with all their effort at the end. Dragon Palace’s core Immortal
Gu Dream Token was already successfully retrieved.

But this was a dangerous move, when Immortal Gu Houses face destruction,
the Gu Immortal retrieving the core Immortal Gu could only do their best and
leave the rest to chance. There could even be times when they were too hasty
to take out the core Immortal Gu, causing it to be severely damaged instead,
eventually resulting in the Immortal Gu’s destruction.

At the next moment, Myriad Year Flying Warship broke apart entirely, Fang
Yuan and Wu Shuai got exposed to the black smoke.

“He’s here! I will block him.” Wu Shuai stood before Fang Yuan.

“I said this before, your struggles are futile.” Spectral Soul approached as he
spoke in an icy tone.

Qi Sea Ancestor and the rest had just arrived with the rest, he saw the
overwhelming black smoke that shattered the silver-white light, Spectral
Soul was attacking Fang Yuan’s main body.

“No!” Qi Sea Ancestor could not help them from this distance, he could only
shout out in his mind.

At the moment before death, Fang Yuan suddenly smiled: “You fell for my
trap, Spectral Soul.”
Chapter 2047: Carelessness
When Fairy Zi Wei and the rest arrived, they could only see an endless
stream of black bats.

In this layer of the underground abyss, black bats were the sole rulers of all
the living beings, right now, they felt provoked, they went into madness and
rage.

Immemorial black bats commanded ancient black bats while ancient black
bats commanded desolate beast black bats, these desolate beast black bats
controlled the countless ordinary bats. When Shadow Sect, Longevity
Heaven, and Heavenly Court arrived, the furious black bats poured their
anger that had nowhere to be vented at these three parties.

Even though the three parties contained the strongest Gu Immortals in the
current world, they could not help but freeze in their steps.

“Why are there so many black bats!”

“We need to kill the immemorial black bats to get rid of these beasts.”

“There are too many of them, these black bats are simply endless, we cannot
waste time here, our primary goal is still Fang Yuan!”

The three groups charged into the black bat groups, they tried to move in this
dangerous environment.

All of the Gu Immortals were top tier rank eight Gu Immortals in the current
world, even though there were countless bats, they were still unable to match
the immortals in actual combat.

But by the time the immortals got out of the bat groups, they could not see
Myriad Year Flying Warship, Spectral Soul, Qing Chou, or others.

“What happened?”
“Where are they? There are no clues left behind at all!”

“This is impossible, we chased them according to the traces left behind from
their fight.”

The immortals were shocked and uncertain.

Calamity Luck Altar burst out with golden radiance, melting the surrounding
bats, a huge space was created immediately.

From within Calamity Luck Altar, Bing Sai Chuan’s impatient voice
resounded: “Fairy Zi Wei, tell me, where is Fang Yuan?”

Old Man Zheng Yuan snorted coldly: “Why would we know?”

Qin Ding Ling sneered: “Shadow Sect, do you really think we are ignorant of
your tricks? You waited and did not chase them, wasn’t it because you were
trying to disrupt us?”

Qin Ding Ling spoke in a sharp tone, it seemed like she was sowing discord
but it sounded like the truth, Shadow Sect got into a predicament
immediately.

Fang Yuan, Spectral Soul, Qing Chou, Qi Sea, and Qi Jue all vanished, it was
just too strange. The three forces chasing them became extremely anxious.

Fairy Zi Wei was also frowning deeply as she said: “We have lost contact
with our master. I believe that other forces have interfered, the important
thing is to find them now, if we fight among ourselves, this external force
will succeed in their goal.”

Bing Sai Chuan spoke in an icy tone, not concealing his killing intent: “Then
show me the capabilities of a wisdom path great expert.”

“Hmph, just you watch.” Fairy Zi Wei said as she started to activate her
killer move, making deductions rapidly.

Qin Ding Ling did not speak but her killing intent was not concealed either. If
she found any tricks from Shadow Sect, Heavenly Court would definitely
attack them immediately.

Creak creak…

The surrounding black bats approached again, the Gu Immortals hesitated for
a moment before quickly attacking and resisting the black bats for Fairy Zi
Wei.

Fairy Zi Wei’s body was shining in a purple-gold light, aurora spread out
constantly.

Fairy Zi Wei’s expression turned increasingly pale, immortal essence was

expended rapidly until her body started shivering. Afterwards, she opened
her eyes, purple light filling her pupils.

As the purple-gold light faded away, Fairy Zi Wei’s pupils returned to

normal.

Her aura was significantly weaker now, it was clear that she had done her
best in the deduction.

Under everyone’s supervision, she let out a breath of air: “I deduced it, a
battlefield killer move enveloped all of them, causing us to not sense them
anywhere.”

“Battlefield killer move?”

“Who is ambushing them here?”

“Hmph, do you have evidence?”

Fairy Zi Wei sneered, as a wisdom path great expert, she would naturally not
end up empty-handed, she immediately split the bat groups apart as she
directed the immortals to a trace of earth path aura that was about to
dissipate.

After sensing the aura, the immortals started to analyze it.

“It is an earth path killer move indeed!”

“It really seems like a battlefield killer move.”

“Watch me, I will find it!”

A certain Gu Immortal of Heavenly Court made his move, he was very

confident at the start but soon, he returned without any progress.

Soon, this trace of earth path aura dissipated, only the bat groups remained to
fight against the three groups of immortals.

The immortals’ expressions were very ugly.

Some were still suspicious about Shadow Sect, some were thinking about
ways to find the enclosed immortal battlefield, some were forced to fight
against the black bats.

Longevity Heaven’s Bing Sai Chuan still held some suspicions.

Fairy Zi Wei had the heaviest mood, she dealt with the black bats as she
asked Heavenly Court: “You should be most familiar with this earth path
aura! Heavenly Court, what do you think?”

Qin Ding Ling was silent for a moment before she said: “Indeed, this
resembles Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable’s method. We have the same
idea now, to find this immortal battlefield and destroy it!”

“So it is Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable’s force, no wonder…” Bing Sai

Chuan realized at once.

In history, among the ten venerables, Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable was
the most skilled at using immortal battlefield killer moves. His capability in
this aspect was publicly known as the number one among venerables! Right
now, the Reincarnation Battlefield that he created was still existing in
Central Continent, owned by the ten great ancient sects.

Why did Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable’s force take action?

None of the immortals here were surprised.

Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable and Spectral Soul Demon Venerable
were on opposite sides, everyone knew that. Back then, Spectral Soul
slaughtered everyone in his way, causing great terror and chaos, all of the
people in the five regions lived in fear, the righteous path was weak while
the demonic path surged. Ever since Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable
started cultivation, he worked hard to turn this trend around, he restored
peace to the world and suppressed the demonic path, he brought fortune to
the world.

Because of the ideologies of Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable and Spectral

Soul Demon Venerable, they had always conflicted.

“To find Paradise Earth’s battlefield and destroy it, the difficulty is just…”
Bing Sai Chuan shook his head, even an expert like him hesitated and felt
troubled.

“Why would Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable’s force take action? And
why would they wait here in ambush?” A Gu Immortal asked.

This question made Fairy Zi Wei’s mood even heavier, a dark cloud loomed
over her, shrouding her face.

“It must be Fang Yuan!” Even though there was no evidence, Fairy Zi Wei
still said that with great confidence.

She had fought against Fang Yuan too many times, she was basically the loser
each time. This feeling of defeat was too common to Fairy Zi Wei, she had
experienced it countless times.

Each time she thought that victory was close, Fang Yuan would turn the
situation around.

This current situation was also the same, Fairy Zi Wei felt very familiar with
it.

Qin Ding Ling agreed with Fairy Zi Wei’s deduction: “We chased after Fang
Yuan, but from another perspective, he was leading us here. While chasing
and escaping, this route was planned by Fang Yuan. If he cooperated with
Paradise Earth’s force and created this situation, it is indeed the easiest way.
But why would Paradise Earth’s force cooperate with a demon like Fang
Yuan? We have not seen it ourselves, is this really Paradise Earth’s force? Or
rather, which force under Paradise Earth is it?”

Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable was the closest venerable to the current
era, he naturally left behind the highest number of forces.

Different from other venerables, Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable had

never intentionally focused on developing any single force.

Heavenly Court had Primordial Origin Immortal Venerable, Star

Constellation Immortal Venerable, and Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable, it
was developed by the three of them through painstaking effort. Longevity
Heaven was Giant Sun Immortal Venerable’s grotto-heaven, it was the
foundation that he had left behind. Shadow Sect was operated by Spectral
Soul’s split souls for many years, it used Zombie Alliance as the front to
slowly accumulate influence and strength.

Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable was different, he helped and assisted

many different forces. For example, the Merman Imperial Court in Eastern
Sea, it was because he did not want to see the merfolk get bullied. There was
also Southern Border’s Mushroomman Paradise, it was made because he did
not want to see the mushroommen get slaughtered mercilessly.

Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable had the ability to turn an immortal

aperture into a paradise, he helped many Gu Immortals in his life, he altered
many grotto-heavens and blessed lands.

He even helped to enlighten many legendary immemorial beasts, for example,

the blue dragon whale.

Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable did not just help humans, he also helped
variant humans, or even other living beings that were in need.

Thus, he was the most loved venerable and also the most merciful. Even
though Heavenly Court’s Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable also helped out
countless living beings, he was mostly focused on helping nature and
repairing habitats.

The other venerables all had offensive methods but only Paradise Earth
Immortal Venerable did not.

Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable had also left behind his true inheritances
in various places. Southern Border’s Mushroomman Paradise was one of
them, thus, their leader, Southern Border’s Gu Immortal Lu Wei Yin, was
also called Paradise Earth’s inheritor, nobody could refute it. Before the fate
war, Fairy Zi Wei even went to the Mushroomman Paradise and borrowed
benevolence Gu.

All the immortals could not think of an answer now.

Because of Paradise Earth’s actions, many forces and Gu Immortals were

related to him in some way. There was no way of knowing which force it
was exactly.

“Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable focused on removing Spectral Soul’s

influence his entire life, he was a merciful and benevolent person who
brought peace. Would his force cooperate with a demon like Fang Yuan? It is
not impossible. Didn’t Heavenly Court cooperate with me temporarily as
well?” Fairy Zi Wei’s heart was filled with a solemn emotion.

The more she thought, the worse she found the situation.

The reason why Heavenly Court worked with Shadow Sect was so that Fang
Yuan and Spectral Soul would fight each other, it would be great if these two
demons were killed at the same time!

If Paradise Earth’s force and Fang Yuan cooperated while having such
thoughts, why would it be impossible?

With Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable’s status and nature, he would not do
something like laying an ambush. But the Immortal Venerable had died
already, nobody knew the temperament of the force that he left behind, or
even his inheritor!
“This situation must have surpassed master’s expectations.”

“But there can be a worse situation, that is, Fang Yuan planned all of this. He
gave up on Dragon Palace and Myriad Year Flying Warship just so he could
lure master into this battlefield.”

“No matter what the truth is, I need to do my best to save master!!”

Fairy Zi Wei sensed something amiss, she was very anxious. As a wisdom
path great expert, any changes in her emotions needed to be assigned great
importance.

Spectral Soul had an advantage against Fang Yuan of course, but against
another venerable’s force, it would not be so certain. And most importantly,
this was the venerable who purposely went against Spectral Soul in history,
Paradise Earth!

At the same time, in the earth path battlefield.

Spectral Soul looked at the surrounding sand, his expression turned cold as
ice: “Good, very good. So you are Lu Wei Yin, the current generation
inheritor of Paradise Earth?”

A Gu Immortal stepped on a yellow cloud, he cupped his fists at Spectral

Soul: “Lord Demon Venerable is very perceptive, I have been waiting here
for a long time.”

At the side, Fang Yuan urged: “Lu Wei Yin, I lured him here already. Don’t
expect me to take action now, show me your sincerity… urgh!”

Fang Yuan suddenly stopped speaking as he retreated rapidly.

It was too late!

In an instant, Spectral Soul suddenly arrived in front of him using an unknown

method.

“Fang Yuan, you are too careless. It is a pity you got this far, but go and die
now!” Spectral Soul stretched out his hand as he grabbed Fang Yuan’s neck.
Fang Yuan stared with eyes wide open, he could not break free!
Chapter 2048: Illusory Sand Shifting Shadow
Spectral Soul was indeed the Demon Venerable who killed his way to the
top!

Any other person would be wary at the first moment and defend against an
assault. But he had abundant battle experience, after falling into a trap, he
made perfect use of an opportunity to attack instantly!

Undoubtedly, he chose a great timing.

Fang Yuan was pursued by three parties, the pressure was huge, after getting
into this safe area, it was not strange that he would relax his mind.

Spectral Soul distracted him with words while preparing his killer move.
This move had no aura or commotion, only Wu Yong in the current five
regions could match him in this aspect. Once used, Spectral Soul turned the
situation around, he grabbed Fang Yuan’s neck tightly.

Spectral Soul’s move was also extraordinary, it was called soul shattering
hand. This move could only be used at an extremely close range, it was a
close combat method.

In Gu Immortal battles, close combat was rare. Most engaged in long

distance combat, only few paths like transformation path or strength path
would focus on hand-to-hand combat. Soul shattering hand had an extremely
close range, it was very limited in usage but Spectral Soul still held onto it
without discarding it, the reason was because this move had incredible
power, once it struck the enemy, it could easily decide the victor of the battle.

At the next moment, soul shattering hand activated!

A smile appeared on Fang Yuan’s face again, while Spectral Soul’s

expression turned grim.

The ‘Fang Yuan’ in his hand quickly turned into sand and scattered with the
wind, it was actually a puppet made of sand!
As yellow sand flew in the air, Fang Yuan’s voice could be heard as he
praised: “Spectacular indeed! Lu Wei Yin, your effort and time spent to
specially create this illusory sand shifting shadow battlefield was not in
vain.”

Fang Yuan did not conceal his voice, Spectral Soul snorted coldly as he
looked for traces, flying past the sand and arriving in front of Fang Yuan.

Spectral Soul attacked again while Fang Yuan did not dodge.

At the next moment, Fang Yuan scattered into countless sand specks again.

It was a rare sight as Spectral Soul finally frowned this time.

Lu Wei Yin’s voice was transmitted: “Fang Yuan, you are too kind. The truth
is, Friend Spectral Soul is too strong, I had to set up my strongest battlefield
killer move. I won’t hide it, even though this battlefield originated from
Paradise Earth’s true inheritance, it has been modified by many generations,
it has many changes done to it. The sand puppet double earlier can deceive
the enemy’s senses and lure away firepower.”

“Lu Wei Yin, do you want to lose your Southern Border Mushroomman
Paradise? To think my Shadow Sect let you off purposely back then.”
Spectral Soul called out coldly, he stared at Lu Wei Yin’s sand puppet
fixedly. He knew that Lu Wei Yin purposely spoke to target his morale, to
exert mental pressure on him.

In a battle between experts, every word was a contest. Especially against

information path Gu Immortals, every word they said was sharp like a blade
or spear, the enemies could not be lax against them.

Fang Yuan ignored Spectral Soul and continued to speak with Lu Wei Yin:
“Even though I used up two Immortal Gu Houses to lower this old monster’s
wariness, this battlefield killer move has such power, it was not a waste.
Now, it will depend on you.”

Lu Wei Yin knew about Fang Yuan’s tribulation, in fact, the heavenly mark
killer move that Fang Yuan had was also given to him by Lu Wei Yin!
As a matter of fact, Fang Yuan did not trust Lu Wei Yin. His original
destination was not Earth Abyss but Crazed Demon Cave instead. Fang Yuan
did not know a lot about Lu Wei Yin’s background, there was nothing much
about him in the five hundred years of memories either.

Right now, not only was Spectral Soul stuck in the illusory sand shifting
shadow battlefield, Fang Yuan was the same.

Fang Yuan’s two Immortal Gu Houses, Dragon Palace and Myriad Year
Flying Warship, were also destroyed, he lost many Gu worms, even the few
core Immortal Gu that he retrieved were all injured.

Spectral Soul snickered: “Fang Yuan, hide well. Maybe Lu Wei Yin will let
you out? Hehehe, but it is not a problem, Paradise Earth died long ago, his
earth path battlefield cannot trap me for long. Once I decipher this place, it
will be your time to die!”

Lu Wei Yin did not answer, he activated the battlefield.

From the yellow sand flying around Spectral Soul, a figure flew out, it was
Fang Yuan’s Qi Sea clone.

Qi Sea Ancestor saw Spectral Soul and got stunned, it was as if he had just
charged through the sandstorm and did not expect to see Spectral Soul here.

But at the next moment, Qi Sea Ancestor made his move, unleashing qi path
methods on Spectral Soul.

Spectral Soul snorted coldly, he blocked the attacks and wanted to retaliate
but saw that Qi Sea Ancestor got enveloped by the sandstorm, vanishing into
thin air.

Spectral Soul immediately chased, he went into the yellow sand, but he could
not see any sign of Qi Sea Ancestor.

Another figure approached, it was Demon Immortal Qi Jue.

Spectral Soul was about to speak when he saw that Demon Immortal Qi Jue’s
expression was strange, he became wary.
As expected, Demon Immortal Qi Jue attacked him at the next moment.

Spectral Soul resisted as he called out: “Qi Jue, what are you doing?”

Demon Immortal Qi Jue snickered: “Qi Sea Ancestor, since you provoked
me, I will show you the true power of qi path!”

After hearing this, Spectral Soul became stunned, he thought: “Don’t tell me
this earth path battlefield has another ability to confuse enemies?”

Since Spectral Soul could perceive the sand puppet as Fang Yuan without
realizing so, it was not strange that Demon Immortal Qi Jue would get
deceived and mistake him for Qi Sea Ancestor.

Spectral Soul and Demon Immortal Qi Jue fought for over ten rounds, Demon
Immortal Qi Jue suffered injuries as he got devoured by the sandstorm again.

Next was Qing Chou.

“Spectral Soul, I want you dead! I want you dead!” Qing Chou was still
insane, the rank nine aura on its body was extremely dense, Spectral Soul’s
heart jumped upon sensing it.

Like this, at times he fought Qi Sea Ancestor, at times he fought Demon

Immortal Qi Jue, sometimes, he even faced the legendary immemorial
desolate beast Qing Chou.

They started to appear and disappear in the sandstorm, engaging with

Spectral Soul while taking turns!

Spectral Soul had outstanding battle strength, far beyond them individually,
but whenever he gained some advantage, Lu Wei Yin, who controlled the
battlefield, would swap opponents and leave Spectral Soul helpless.

Even after several rounds of attacks, Spectral Soul could not break free from
the yellow sand, he could only fight them.

Faraway in the battlefield, Fang Yuan was focusing on his tribulation. Wu

Shuai guarded him with a vigilant expression, all around him, countless army
ants gathered into a hollow ball, shielding him and Fang Yuan from the
outside.

Within the sovereign immortal aperture, the myriad tribulation had already
turned into a torrential flood!

Water levels rose, engulfing ten thousand li of land.

Fang Yuan’s five regions were all affected, a large number of small sized
resource points were completely destroyed, Mini Central Continent’s spirit
spring forest, Mini Northern Plains’ bone burial field, contact heart river
bank, Mini Western Desert’s eerie fire dragon python, sand gull soil beach,
Mini Southern Border’s become dragon mound, Heaven Sealing Mountain,
and Mini Eastern Sea’s jade root lake were all heavily damaged. As for the
few resource points that Fang Yuan defended heavily, they also met with a
huge impact.

Fang Yuan’s losses were severe!

There was no helping it, he had done his best.

The good thing was that his hard work and sacrifices were not in vain, he had
already refined more than twenty heaven path dao marks!

Against the initial myriad tribulation, myriad destruction lightning forest,

Fang Yuan came up with a countermeasure after great effort. Due to heaven’s
will’s manipulation, the heaven path dao marks immediately changed the
tribulation, causing Fang Yuan’s previous method to become ineffective.

If this happened to most Gu Immortals in the current world, it would lead to

despair. But for Fang Yuan, each time the myriad tribulation transformed, it
was a great opportunity for him!

Because he had the killer move exposing heavenly secret.

Exposing heavenly secret allowed Fang Yuan to accurately predict what the
next tribulation was, even though he could not prepare for it amply, it was
still an opportunity he could use.
After all, the greatest problem and danger of tribulations was that they could
not be predicted. Once they were known beforehand, their threat level would
fall by many times.

Of course, even if myriad tribulations could be predicted, they were still

myriad tribulations. Thus, the sovereign immortal aperture flooded and
countless resources were destroyed.

Fang Yuan’s losses were huge, but it was not a bad thing entirely!

The myriad tribulation’s power continued to fall, because the essence of the
Heavenly Dao was to maintain balance, the more losses Fang Yuan suffered,
the weaker the tribulation would be, even if heaven’s will was here, it could
not defy the natural operations of the Heavenly Dao.

More and more heaven path dao marks were refined by Fang Yuan, his speed
of refinement was getting faster and faster!

The first step was the hardest, Fang Yuan sacrificed all of his soul beasts to
create an opportunity in this biggest predicament of his life.

He succeeded!

Despite the myriad tribulation’s rampage, Fang Yuan already managed to

regain his footing, he was slowly turning the situation around.

Spectral Soul fell into a tough battle.

Lu Wei Yin controlled the illusory sand shifting shadow battlefield, causing
him to be in an extremely passive spot.

Qi Sea Ancestor, Demon Immortal Qi Jue, Qing Chou, and even Lu Wei Yin
could attack Spectral Soul at the same time.

Qing Chou was overcome by rage, it was once used by Spectral Soul, but in
here, Lu Wei Yin could relocate it easily, Spectral Soul had no opportunities
to do so.
As intense winds blew, a sandstorm brewed, suddenly, all of the sand
gathered into rocks, they flew around in their own vortexes.

Instantly, countless flying rocks enveloped Spectral Soul.

Spectral Soul waved his hand as smoke flew out, some of the flying rocks
melted in the black smoke but most of them pierced through it and shot
towards Spectral Soul.

Spectral Soul’s figure suddenly vanished, when he reappeared, he was

already at the other end of the battlefield.

He dodged almost all of the flying rocks, but after these flying rocks flew into
the sandstorm, they turned back into sand.

After that, the sand turned back into yellowish flying rocks that shot towards
Spectral Soul.

“This move is called flying sand turning rocks, please evaluate it, Lord
Spectral Soul.” Lu Wei Yin’s voice resounded from within.

“Child’s play.” Spectral Soul howled as his body shook, black smoke
rumbled with him as the center, spreading towards the surroundings with
rapid speed.

“Spin.” As Spectral Soul vanished within the black smoke, he shouted again.

At the next moment, the black smoke turned into a vortex that started to rotate.
Spectral Soul was at the center, he released black smoke while
simultaneously absorbing it.

As the flying rocks flew into the black smoke, they corroded into sand before
the black smoke swept them into Spectral Soul’s immortal aperture.

Seeing this countermeasure, Lu Wei Yin praised: “Brilliant, as expected of

Lord Spectral Soul. However, I specially chose the location of my battlefield
on this earth vein. No matter how many flying rocks you absorb, this
battlefield can draw more earth qi from the earth vein as replenishment.
Thus, unless you can deplete the entire earth vein, these flying rocks are
endless.”

These words did not affect Spectral Soul, the former Demon Venerable
sneered with deep killing intent: “Lu Wei Yin, did you think this move only
countered your flying sand turning rocks?”

“Oh no.” Lu Wei Yin’s expression changed, there was no time to react.

At the next moment, all of the flying sand in the sky fell to the ground, a
portion of the illusory sand shifting shadow battlefield was corroded by the
black smoke, it returned to being a flat yellowish landscape.

“Shifting sand illusion was actually broken so quickly!” Lu Wei Yin’s

expression was ugly.

Spectral Soul hid his true move deeply, he seemed to be dealing with the
killer move, flying sand turning rocks, but his real target was shifting sand
illusion. Now that this move was broken, there were no longer any sand
puppets left.

Demon Immortal Qi Jue broke out of the illusion, while Fang Yuan’s real
location was exposed.

“Fang Yuan, how long are you going to hide for?” Spectral Soul flew
towards Fang Yuan without hesitation.

Wu Shuai fought to resist him, but the defense of the army ants became torn
apart instantly by Spectral Soul.

A black soul ball shot out, after a few breaths of time, it reached Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan remained seated on the ground, he opened his eyes as he smiled
lightly: “I don’t need to dodge.”

Rumble!

An Immortal Gu House suddenly appeared, shielding Wu Shuai and Fang

Yuan.
The black soul ball landed on the Immortal Gu House, erupting with immense
might. However, this Immortal Gu House remained still like a mountain, it
did not move!

“You still have an Immortal Gu House?!” At this moment, Spectral Soul’s

pupils shrank, he frowned deeply.
Chapter 2049: Spectral Souls Anxiety
An Immortal Gu House suddenly appeared in the battlefield.

It was like a mountain, but it was not tall. There were clear layers on this
mountain from the bottom to the top, it was smooth on the surface, so it
resembled a tower made of dozens of giant drums. This Immortal Gu House
was yellowish brown, there was also a misty layer of sand covering its
surface, giving it a strong feeling of sturdiness and peace.

Rank eight Immortal Gu House — Peaceful Soil Heavy Mountain Fortress!

This earth path Immortal Gu House was obtained when Fang Yuan explored
the dream realm. It was different from most Immortal Gu Houses in essence,
because this Immortal Gu House did not have any core Immortal Gu, its core
was made of immortal killer moves.

Peaceful Soil Heavy Mountain Fortress had three core killer moves, the most
important one was accumulated soil mountain.

This move was very special, it did not have offense, movement, healing or
other aspects. Using this killer move, the Gu Immortal could stack earth path
Gu worms to allow them to form an Immortal Gu House! This could be done
even if the Gu Immortal using the killer move had zero attainment in
formation path itself!

Gaining this killer move was also the same as gaining the foundation of the
Immortal Gu House, Peaceful Soil Heavy Mountain Fortress!

Thus, every Peaceful Soil Heavy Mountain Fortress had a different

appearance. In fact, even for the same Peaceful Soil Heavy Mountain
Fortress, because the earth path Gu worms used were different, they could
gain various forms and abilities.

Fang Yuan had created this Peaceful Soil Heavy Mountain Fortress for some
time already. He obtained the complete blueprint from the dream realm, he
also gained a large number of earth path Immortal Gu from the blue dragon
whale. The truth was, he had already obtained this rank eight Immortal Gu
House before the fate war!

Right now, Fang Yuan took out this Peaceful Soil Heavy Mountain Fortress to
change the situation.

Spectral Soul’s assault did not work on Fang Yuan, Lu Wei Yin, Qing Chou,
and the rest could force him to divert his target to them.

“I thought Fang Yuan was lying earlier to put up a front, I thought he was
forced to abandon Myriad Year Flying Warship and Dragon Palace. Now it
seems, he intentionally lured me into this trap!” Spectral Soul’s heart sank a
little.

The truth was, Fang Yuan’s act of giving up the two Immortal Gu Houses did
lower his wariness. After all, without Myriad Year Flying Warship or
Dragon Palace, Fang Yuan really seemed like he was at his wits’ end.

To think that he had such a trump card!

Lu Wei Yin also felt surprised, thinking to himself: Fang Yuan was willing to
pay such a huge price to lure Spectral Soul here. Is this a form of trust? Or is
he testing our first cooperation?

The truth was, Fang Yuan had no other choice.

Even though he had been keeping this Peaceful Soil Heavy Mountain Fortress
a secret, it had one huge drawback. Its speed was too slow! If there was a
list of fastest to slowest Immortal Gu Houses, this Peaceful Soil Heavy
Mountain Fortress would definitely rank at the bottom without doubt.

Honestly speaking, Peaceful Soil Heavy Mountain Fortress was the tortoise
among Immortal Gu Houses, its speed was only superior to immortal
formations, it was simply helpless. But such weaknesses came with great
advantages, Peaceful Soil Heavy Mountain Fortress had an incredibly
powerful defense instead!
If Spectral Soul or Lu Wei Yin knew about Peaceful Soil Heavy Mountain
Fortress’ weakness, they would understand Fang Yuan’s plight.

If he took out Peaceful Soil Heavy Mountain Fortress earlier in the battle, he
would not be able to get far, he would only be a target board, attacked by
everyone. Even though Fang Yuan would have some temporary safety, the
other forces could mobilize their people and gather to kill Fang Yuan
together.

Thus, he could not stay at one spot, this was Central Continent, Heavenly
Court’s territory, even though Heavenly Court was weak now, it was still
governing the ten great ancient sects!

But here, when Fang Yuan used Peaceful Soil Heavy Mountain Fortress, the
effect was completely different.

Spectral Soul had to defend against the attacks of Lu Wei Yin, Qi Sea
Ancestor, and the rest, he did not forget to attack Peaceful Soil Heavy
Mountain Fortress in the meantime.

But Peaceful Soil Heavy Mountain Fortress remained unmovable, it was a

true fortress!

Even someone like Spectral Soul started to be emotionally affected. His main
target was Fang Yuan from the start, but to get to him, he would have to
destroy this Immortal Gu House. This huge obstacle was causing Spectral
Soul to feel anxious internally.

If Spectral Soul ignored Fang Yuan and dealt with the enemies in this
battlefield, Fang Yuan would gain more time to recuperate. This was
something Spectral Soul did not want to see.

During the intense battle, Spectral Soul looked towards Qing Chou, thinking
of using it to create an opening.

But Lu Wei Yin sensed it quickly, once Spectral Soul showed signs of
targeting Qing Chou, he would use the battlefield killer move to teleport Qing
Chou away.
Qing Chou only targeted its greatest enemy, Spectral Soul, it knew that Lu
Wei Yin was trying to help it instead of Spectral Soul, it would not attack him
abruptly.

Spectral Soul’s plans were thwarted in advance, he transmitted to Demon

Immortal Qi Jue: “Qi Jue, focus on destroying this Immortal Gu House, I will
definitely satisfy you with the reward!”

Demon Immortal Qi Jue hesitated: “Spectral Soul, you have higher battle
strength than me, if you can’t succeed, how can I?”

Spectral Soul snorted coldly: “Who says I can’t do it? It will merely take
some effort. We lack cooperation, the best move now is for me to deal with
these enemies and the battlefield while you target Fang Yuan. You have the
secluded domain of heaven and earth, Xi, as long as you pay some price,
how hard can it be to destroy the Immortal Gu House?”

Spectral Soul’s main target was Fang Yuan but now, he had to look away
from his target. Firstly, this Immortal Gu House had high defense, destroying
it was too troublesome. Secondly, Spectral Soul and Qi Jue were just
working together, their relationship was quite shallow, Qi Jue was not
reliable at all. Asking him to attack was guarding against him, if anything
happened, Spectral Soul could still break out of the battlefield, it was a
relatively safer option.

Spectral Soul had the strongest killing nature throughout history, but he was
not a fool who lacked wisdom or logic, he was not overwhelmed by his
desire to kill.

Demon Immortal Qi Jue also did not want to be trapped in this battlefield, he
did not doubt Spectral Soul’s decision to destroy the battlefield.

He thought about it for a while before laughing: “My Xi Land can break this
earth path Immortal Gu House but the price is very steep, after all, I cultivate
qi path and not earth path. After I succeed, it is likely that my Xi Land will be
destroyed! But this deal is not impossible, it will depend on you, Spectral
Soul, what price can you pay me to make such a huge sacrifice?”
“What, you think I can’t afford it?” Spectral Soul asked.

“You are a venerable, you have immense foundation, I am quite looking

forward to it. But until now, the true inheritances that you gave me are high in
quantity but lack quality, I am quite disappointed.”

“Hmph! You mean to say, only venerable inheritances are good enough for
you.”

“Of course.” Demon Immortal Qi Jue spoke openly: “Only venerable true
inheritances are of value to me. In fact, I am interested in your true
inheritance too!”

Demon Immortal Qi Jue was an old demon, in this situation, he actually

wanted to extort Spectral Soul’s soul path true inheritance. This was a really
shameless thing to do.

Spectral Soul was not willing to take this loss, he replied firmly: “Qi Jue,
don’t forget about our goal! If you do not put in effort now, how can you kill
Fang Yuan? We might both get trapped in this battlefield, ending up as their
prey.”

Demon Immortal Qi Jue became silent, the situation was quite tense now, this
earth path battlefield had unfathomable depths, he had not understood it
completely yet.

Demon Immortal Qi Jue was merely testing him earlier, seeing that Spectral
Soul was firm in his stance, he decided to work together and get over this
hurdle first.

Even though Spectral Soul broke one layer of the earth path battlefield, the
combination of Lu Wei Yin, Qing Chou, and Qi Sea Ancestor still placed a
huge pressure on him.

Even though Demon Immortal Qi Jue countered Qi Sea Ancestor entirely, due
to Lu Wei Yin’s control, Qi Sea Ancestor did not fight against Demon
Immortal Qi Jue. Qing Chou was actually quite useful here, this beast fought
without regard for its life, it created huge problems for Demon Immortal Qi
Jue.

Battlefield killer moves were hard to set up, but usually, after they were
activated, the Gu Immortal would gain a huge advantage in the domain.

Enslavement path and formation path could allow one to fight against many
enemies, it was because these two paths could allow one to gain huge
strength if used well.

As for this illusory sand shifting shadow battlefield, it was created by

Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable, modified by generations of inheritors, it
was very threatening. Furthermore, this battlefield was created in Earth
Abyss, combined with the earth vein, it had an unceasing amount of earth qi,
Spectral Soul and Qi Jue were troubled.

Within the sovereign immortal aperture, the myriad tribulation was still
continuing.

The myriad tribulation changed again, it was a flood earlier, now it turned
into a blazing flame, razing everything to the ground and creating huge heat
waves.

“I have already refined more than fifty heaven path dao marks!” Fang Yuan
made some new progress.

Each time the myriad tribulation changed, it created danger for him.

But danger was accompanied by opportunity!

Chapter 2050: How Do We Fight This?
Along with his gains, Fang Yuan also paid a hefty price.

Mini Southern Border, which was the most prosperous of the five mini
regions, was half devastated.

Immortal Succession Mountain was destroyed, washed away entirely by the

flood. This mountain was a mid-sized resource point obtained from Hei Fan
grotto-heaven, it once had the ability to help mortals ascend to immortal.

There was also Heaven Sealing Mountain. This mountain was created by
Fang Yuan, it was small and unassuming, within the mountain itself, Fang
Yuan had once set up a formation to seal his strength path immortal zombie
body.

Other than them, there were also up to a hundred mountains and valleys. The
greatest losses were Interior Rain Mountain, Copper Seal Mountain, and
Bone Bird Peak.

Interior Rain Mountain’s peak was always shrouded by a layer of dark

clouds from where light rain continued to fall. The drizzling rain was not
ordinary rainwater, but rank six immortal material interior rain! This was a
resource point that produced water path immortal materials, now it was in
ruins.

Copper Seal Mountain was no longer whole, it used to have a red and
squarish shape, it was like a large seal was standing upright in Mini Southern
Border. This mountain did not have even a trace of soil, it was completely
formed from all kinds of copper.

There was mortal level copper like chaotic sky copper, pragna copper, snow
flower copper, and so on, and immortal copper like profound grey copper
and ascending dragon copper.

Copper Seal Mountain was so special, it was heavily targeted by the myriad
tribulation myriad destruction lightning forest. Now, half of the mountain was
destroyed and charred, giving out dense smoke and sparks. The entire
mountain had turned into a molten state, it emitted a terrible smell.

This mountain once produced domination copper, that was a rank seven
immortal material! It was a pity that the tribulation struck, it could no longer
produce any.

As for Bone Bird Peak, it used to have a large number of flower wing white
bone birds, filled with vitality. Now, the entire mountain had collapsed too,
all of the flower wing white bone birds died from the lightning bolts.

Lightning bolts destroyed mountains, floods destroyed forests.

Fang Yuan had originally obtained a large amount of musical trees from Hei
Fan grotto-heaven, he created Mini Southern Border’s primitive forest using
them. After this myriad tribulation, what forest could survive? Not to mention
the beautiful qi death birds or the fragrant tea streams.

Mini Southern Border was almost completely devastated.

Only several areas were heavily protected by Fang Yuan.

Among them were the coiling thread caves, stalactite caves, and the dark
inkstone mines. These resource points were all underground, it was easier to
preserve them. Furthermore, the rockmen lived in these places.

Fire Bird Mountain was an exception, because it was quite isolated, it

escaped this disaster.

This mid-sized resource point had fire path birds of all kinds growing in it.
At the top of the volcano were fire phoenixes that were suppressed by the
formation. The sunset parasol trees on the mountain absorbed lava as
nutrients to grow, branches extended as leaves grew, they gave out the
beautiful light of the setting sun, it was an amazing sight to behold.

Other than Mini Southern Border, the other four mini regions were also
affected to some extent.
Mini Northern Plains’ shallow rock beach was obtained from annexing Han
Dong blessed land. It was completely washed away by the floods, all of the
pinkish red spirit snakes living in it died.

Mini Western Desert’s hound desert was obtained from Liu Yong blessed
land. There were more than twenty desolate hounds there, they all died
without a corpse remaining.

Mini Central Continent and Mini Eastern Sea, even the mini nine heavens
were implicated by the myriad tribulation!

However, Fang Yuan could not care about it at this point.

Myriad tribulations had taken so many rank eight Gu Immortals’ lives, in the
long history of the world, countless geniuses died primarily from them. If he
was careless, even Fang Yuan could lose his life!

Fang Yuan not only had to deal with the myriad tribulation, he also had to
face the three forces chasing after him!!

If losing some resources meant that he could improve the situation, why
wouldn’t Fang Yuan do it?

What was more important, his life or these resources?

The answer was obvious.

Only by staying alive could he have any hope for the future.

In fact, even if all of Fang Yuan’s resources were destroyed, even if he lost
the sovereign immortal body and his clones, as long as he was alive and got
through this predicament, as long as he had one breath remaining, he would
accept the result.

The most important thing was an unyielding spirit, how could mere success
and failure determine his life!

“The loss of these resource points is actually helpful to me. The Heavenly
Dao seeks balance, with these resource points gone, the myriad tribulation
has weakened proportionately. Thus, my efficiency in refining the heaven
path dao marks will continue to become higher! Hmm?”

Fang Yuan’s expression suddenly changed.

Rumble!

With an intense sound, Peaceful Soil Heavy Mountain Fortress shook harshly,
hundreds and thousands of Gu worms shattered and died.

It was the move that Demon Immortal Qi Jue had been preparing for a long
time!

Demon Immortal Qi Jue!

This old demon who had resisted Limitless Demon Venerable in history, he
had vicious methods capable of weakening and damaging Peaceful Soil
Heavy Mountain Fortress. If he was allowed to continue attacking, he would
eventually break through Peaceful Soil Heavy Mountain Fortress.

It was not that Lu Wei Yin or the Qi Sea clone did not try to stop him, but
Spectral Soul’s continuous attacks hindered them.

Spectral Soul’s body surged with black smoke, he attacked and defended at
times, unleashing several immemorial soul beasts while using peculiar soul
path killer moves. He not only protected Qi Jue, giving him ample time and
opportunity to attack, he even probed illusory sand shifting shadow
battlefield even further, he managed to break another layer of this battlefield!

“Lu Wei Yin, Qing Chou, and the Qi Sea clone are attacking Spectral Soul
but he is still having an easy time. This current Spectral Soul is also just his
remnant soul, he is still injured and has not reached the peak state he was in
during the time he refined sovereign immortal fetus Gu.”

Fang Yuan sighed internally.

He could genuinely feel the depth of Spectral Soul’s strength!

“I cannot let this go on, Wu Shuai, go and join the battle, deal with Spectral
Soul!” Fang Yuan instructed.

In this current situation, Spectral Soul and the other two forces wanted Fang
Yuan dead. On the other hand, Lu Wei Yin carried on Paradise Earth’s will,
he wanted to exterminate Spectral Soul.

Fang Yuan was the focus, but Spectral Soul was also crucial.

Fang Yuan did not feel great external pressure now, his wariness stemmed
from Spectral Soul, he did not hesitate to use all his strength against him.

Wu Shuai joined the fight!

At once, army ants gathered and formed a river of ants, they swept towards
Spectral Soul.

Spectral Soul split a portion of his concentration and used killer moves to
resist them.

Wu Shuai was Fang Yuan’s dragonman clone, he cultivated enslavement path,

even though he had not cultivated for long, he inherited the inheritance of the
dragonman race, as well as the actual Wu Shuai’s true inheritance.

After several rounds of attacks, Lu Wei Yin became hopeful as he thought:

“Even though Wu Shuai does not attack often, he has rank eight cultivation
level, his battle strength is quite incredible. With him around, we can finally
place pressure on Spectral Soul!”

With him controlling the battlefield, even Qing Chou could join the fight, not
to mention Wu Shuai who cooperated with them.

Wu Shuai soon mixed in with this group, their tempo became faster as they
emitted greater pressure on Spectral Soul.

Spectral Soul was the strongest in the world, but he had not regained his peak
strength. Demon Immortal Qi Jue and Qi Sea Ancestor could fight him for
over ten rounds even if they could not defeat him.
With Wu Shuai’s participation, a qualitative change appeared, it tilted the
balance of both sides.

Lu Wei Yin and the rest attacked unceasingly, their attacks did not stop even
once.

Spectral Soul started to get into a passive spot as he resisted their joint
attacks.

Immortal killer move — Upper-Lower Breathless Qi!

Demon Immortal Qi Jue stretched out two fingers as he pointed at the top and
bottom of Peaceful Soil Heavy Mountain Fortress.

At once, Peaceful Soil Heavy Mountain Fortress became immobilized, Fang

Yuan who was inside had a change of expression, he could not breath
smoothly. Even worse was that his injection of immortal essence into
Peaceful Soil Heavy Mountain Fortress became choppy and inconsistent.

Immortal Gu Houses required a lot of immortal essence to work. The same

applied to Peaceful Soil Heavy Mountain Fortress, after getting hit by this
move, its defenses became much weaker.

A huge flaw in Peaceful Soil Heavy Mountain Fortress became exposed.

It was just too slow, it had to resist most killer moves head on. Of course, it
had immense defense, it could waste a lot of the enemies’ immortal essence.

Thus, Peaceful Soil Heavy Mountain Fortress was suited for a battle of
attrition. Gu Immortals could heal up inside and analyze the enemy’s killer
moves while using the defense to waste the enemy’s immortal essence.

Peaceful Soil Heavy Mountain Fortress also lacked offensive methods. The
truth was, Demon Immortal Qi Jue could ignore Fang Yuan and help Spectral
Soul fight against Lu Wei Yin and the rest. Fang Yuan was currently troubled
by the myriad tribulation, Peaceful Soil Heavy Mountain Fortress was of
little threat to them in terms of offense.

Immortal killer move — Soul Explosion!

Spectral Soul suddenly turned around, he endured the attacks of Lu Wei Yin
and the rest as he pointed with his fingers, more than ten black dots flew out.

The black dots shot towards the top of Peaceful Soil Heavy Mountain
Fortress before turning into more than ten immemorial soul beasts.

These immemorial soul beasts crashed down onto Peaceful Soil Heavy
Mountain Fortress, their mountain-like bodies completely burying the
Immortal Gu House.

At the next moment, boom!

A terrifying explosion killed these immemorial soul beasts on the spot, their
sacrifices resulted in this intense explosion resembling a giant black ball.

The black ball rapidly expanded, in a few breaths of time, it grew to over the
size of a hundred li!

The earth and mountains shook, the entire battlefield started to shake
intensely.

Lu Wei Yin’s expression changed, he immediately went away to defend the

battlefield. If this battlefield broke, even if one corner of it was destroyed,
the entire situation would aggravate.

“Spectral Soul is so crafty, he actually had such a terrifying move!” Demon

Immortal Qi Jue squinted, retreating to a safe distance: “Soul explosion is not
uncommon, it is expected that he would detonate the immemorial soul beasts,
but how could he perfectly fuse the detonation of more than ten immemorial
soul beasts together like this?”

“Oh no, I wonder how our main body is doing?” Wu Shuai and Qi Sea
Ancestor became worried.

“Roar!” Qing Chou was also implicated and got quite injured, the greater the
pain, the more maniacal it became.

It did not care about anything, it attacked Spectral Soul again.

Wu Shuai and Qi Sea Ancestor had to follow suit, they could not allow
Spectral Soul to absorb Qing Chou’s strength.

After using this move, Spectral Soul also turned pale. Against Qing Chou’s
assault, he focused on defense while trying to recover. It was evident that the
move earlier consumed a huge amount of his mental energy!

In truth, this soul explosion was very costly. Immemorial soul beasts had rank
eight battle strength, Spectral Soul expended more than ten of them at once!

“I wonder how Peaceful Soil Heavy Mountain Fortress is now?” Demon

Immortal Qi Jue approached Fang Yuan.

As the dust clouds faded away, Peaceful Soil Heavy Mountain Fortress
appeared in everyone’s vision again.

They saw that this earth path Immortal Gu House was thirty percent shorter,
the surface seemed damaged but no holes were created.

Demon Immortal Qi Jue squinted as he sighed internally: “This Immortal Gu

House’s defense is likely the highest of all Immortal Gu Houses that currently
exist!”

Immortal killer move — Accumulated Soil Mountain!

Within the Immortal Gu House, Fang Yuan injected immortal essence as he

activated the core killer move.

Countless earth path Gu worms flew up in sovereign immortal aperture,

entering the Immortal Gu House. After three breaths of time, not only did
Peaceful Soil Heavy Mountain Fortress recover fully, its appearance also
changed, instead of being round like before, it became more like a tower
now, there were edges and sharp corners.

“This?!” Even someone like Demon Immortal Qi Jue stared at this with wide
eyes, he felt a little empty internally.

This was too shameless.

Not only did Peaceful Soil Heavy Mountain Fortress have high defense, its
recovery speed was also this fast!

In the current world, most Immortal Gu Houses could not be easily repaired.
When replenishing Gu worms, those positions were usually fixed. It was also
not as easy as placing Gu worms into these specific positions, there was
usually a need to use special Gu worms or killer moves to achieve this.

Immortal Gu Houses were a type of mobile immortal formation, to repair

Immortal Gu Houses or immortal formations, one had to consider the
influence that these actions would have on the main structure.

But Peaceful Soil Heavy Mountain Fortress was different.

Looking at one example.

Repairing other Immortal Gu Houses was like stacking a Jenga tower, the Gu
Immortals had to put specific Gu worms into specific holes. During this
process, the Gu Immortal had to use methods to stabilize the tower while
placing the Gu worms to try to prevent it from toppling.

But Peaceful Soil Heavy Mountain Fortress was the opposite, because the
core was made of immortal killer moves, no matter how many earth path Gu
worms Fang Yuan put in, they could easily merge with the tower and have
great stability. In fact, they could even alter the properties of the tower.

Demon Immortal Qi Jue and Spectral Soul spent so long dealing with
Peaceful Soil Heavy Mountain Fortress, they had finally gotten some
information about it, yet after Fang Yuan’s modifications, the entire fortress
was different than before. Spectral Soul and Qi Jue’s probe had to start all
over again!

“How do we fight this?” Similar thoughts emerged in the minds of Demon

Immortal Qi Jue and Spectral Soul.
Chapter 2051: Giant Spectral Soul
Other Gu Immortals would feel despair at this moment.

“This rascal Fang Yuan is too good at turtling up, how can we kill him?”
Demon Immortal Qi Jue asked with a tone that contained anger and
frustration.

Spectral Soul also turned silent for a moment before he smiled coldly.

Instantly, a terrifying killing intent seemed to condense and solidify,

emanating from his body, everyone could feel their limbs turning cold as they
shook in their hearts.

After suffering a setback, Spectral Soul’s determination to kill Fang Yuan

became even firmer!

“I will dismantle his tortoise shell! Go and deal with the rest, guard me.”
Spectral Soul said as his soul flew out and devoured Lady Cold Ash’s body
in one mouthful.

A soul giant that was as large as a mountain appeared before everyone!

The giant’s body was black as ink, it had muscular limbs and bulging
muscles. There were two heads, one was scary while the other was cold and
aloof. The first pair of eyes had blood red light in them, shooting towards
heaven, the other pair of eyes was cold as ice, emitting a deep chill.

It also had six hundred pairs of arms that were raised up or lowered, some
were tucked in while others were straight, it showed the stance of grasping
the sun and moon, it had the potential to catch stars and whip up storms.

“Amazing giant!” Lu Wei Yin’s body shook as he praised, fighting spirit

surged in him as he shouted: “Then take this move!”

He used all his strength to activate illusory sand shifting shadow battlefield.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Intense winds blew as yellow sand flew, countless rocks moved along, they
slammed towards the black soul giant’s body like shooting stars.

The black soul giant only watched coldly as it raised its arms.

Two hundred pairs of arms stretched out and stabbed into the sandstorm. The
ghost hands stretched out their fingers as they grabbed towards the
sandstorm.

Unexpectedly, the formless sandstorm was grabbed onto like silk or threads
in the sky!

The black soul giant pulled, snapping sounds could be heard continuously.
The sandstorm was pulled apart, wind scattered as clear vision returned to
the battlefield.

Lu Wei Yin’s eyes were bulging, his expression turned pale, Spectral Soul
dealt with the battlefield so easily, he was deeply shocked!

“Let me.” Qi Sea Ancestor flew into the sky, staring at the black soul giant at
equal heights.

Immortal killer move — Qi Breath Mountain.

Rumble!

A huge translucent mountain created from air currents descended and pressed
down immediately.

This move was once used by Duke Long, it was part of Primordial Origin’s
true inheritance, it managed to send Purple Mountain True Monarch flying.
Right now, with Qi Sea Ancestor using it, the power was not to be
underestimated.

Giant Spectral Soul looked at the mountain but approached it instead, he

raised more than a hundred pairs of arms, at once, the entire battlefield
seemed to have hundreds of black trees, resembling a forest!
The hundred pairs of arms blocked the qi mountain, emitting a loud sound.

The five sharp fingers of each of the ghost hands grabbed, the qi current
mountain lasted for a breath of time before breaking apart.

Qi Sea Ancestor grunted, he was forced to retreat.

But Spectral Soul did not let him off, the angry head roared loudly and spat
out a grand soul river. The soul river was made of countless ghosts and
vengeful spirits, they cried out in agony and despair, causing the entire
battlefield to freeze up for a moment.

Seeing the power of this move, Qi Sea Ancestor understood that this move
was extraordinary, its might was many times higher than the self-detonation
of the immemorial soul beasts earlier!

At this moment, Spectral Soul had used his true strength. Not only did he turn
into a black soul giant, he even changed his killer moves, each attack became
much stronger, they were all vicious and terrifying.

Qi Sea Ancestor waved his hands, two hands flew out of his wide sleeves.
His index and middle fingers stretched out and drew a circle in the air,
causing wind and clouds to move along.

Immortal killer move — Qi Current Scissors!

A translucent qi current flew out of his sleeves, moving rapidly.

These qi currents seemed weak but they were extremely sharp, they drew an
arc in the sky before gathering to form a translucent qi current river.

With a loud sound, the qi current scissors river crashed into the vengeful
ghost river!

The qi current scissors was forced back but the soul river also suffered some
damage, it still managed to move as it quickly approached Qi Sea Ancestor.

Lu Wei Yin shouted as he activated the battlefield, creating a rock shield that
intercepted the soul river at its weak spot.
Qi Sea Ancestor’s face was already flushing red, it was a tough contest of
strength, he quickly used this chance to escape.

“Spectral Soul, why aren’t you going to die!!” At the same time, Qing Chou
shouted as it approached from the left.

At the right of Giant Spectral Soul, Wu Shuai wordlessly manipulated his

army ants that pressed down like a black cloud, attacking Giant Spectral
Soul’s head.

Attacked from the left and right!

Spectral Soul did not move, three hundred pairs of arms resisted Qing Chou
while a hundred pairs of arms attacked Wu Shuai.

Qing Chou was fighting without regard for its life, it advanced relentlessly.

Spectral Soul snickered as the fingers of his hands gathered into a sharp
spear form, this move countered soul beasts!

At the next instant, a hundred pairs of arms stabbed into Qing Chou’s body,
green-black blood oozed out and dyed the battlefield.

Seeing this blood, a bright light shined on the face of Spectral Soul’s angry
head, he snickered coldly: “Soul beasts have no blood, but your body seems
to have changed under the influence of hatred Gu’s refinement. Interesting!
After this battle, I will dissect your body before attempting good and
thorough research.”

In other words, Spectral Soul was completely confident in taking down Qing
Chou.

Qing Chou growled in pain, its snake-like neck struggled intensely, its roars
almost burst the immortals’ eardrums.

Its entire body emitted black smoke, almost the same as Spectral Soul. Not
just that, it opened its mouth and shot out more than ten human faced soul
balls that were covered in lightning!
All sorts of attacks landed on Giant Spectral Soul, it was like wind blowing
on a tree, even though the leaves were moving, the trunk remained still and
motionless.

Spectral Soul’s arms that were stabbed into Qing Chou pushed deeper, trying
to destroy its body from the inside.

Qing Chou cried out continuously, it was heavily injured by Spectral Soul,
unable to break free, its blood flowed like a river, this was a gruesome sight.

Seeing this, Wu Shuai who cultivated enslavement path and had a weak body
did not dare to take a risk, he quickly retreated. He decided that unless there
was no choice, he would only attack from afar.

The army ants were densely packed and moved like a cloud that could gather
and split at will, they rushed towards the black soul giant’s eyes, nose, and
ears.

Spectral Soul’s cold head snorted as he breathed out black smoke from his
nose. The smoke spread out, wherever it went, army ants died without
resistance, a large number of them fell at once.

“As expected of a former Demon Venerable!” Demon Immortal Qi Jue’s eyes

shined with bright light, he was full of praise.

Spectral Soul unleashed his true strength, it immediately changed the

situation!

Even though Lu Wei Yin and the rest had the territorial advantage as well as
more people, they still got suppressed by him.

Spectral Soul struck several times to completely block them, after that, he
went back and stared at Peaceful Soil Heavy Mountain Fortress. Four
hundred arms stretched out and clenched into fists, they punched at the rank
eight earth path Immortal Gu House with black qi covering the fists!

Bam bam bam…

Each punch caused Peaceful Soil Heavy Mountain Fortress to shake
intensely.

As countless fists rained down, black qi also invaded the Immortal Gu

House. Soon, the fragments began to fall off Peaceful Soil Heavy Mountain
Fortress’ surface, shattering into pieces.

Fang Yuan quickly used his killer move and added in earth path Gu worms to
replenish it.

But other trouble came at the same time, inside his sovereign immortal
aperture, the myriad tribulation transformed again!

Almost all of the heaven path dao marks gathered into a giant monstrous ball
of flesh.

The flesh ball floated in the air, it was large as a mountain, more than ten
times of Spectral Soul’s size, casting a shadow down onto the ground.

Countless black colored holes appeared on the flesh ball’s surface.

As the holes expanded, they emitted a huge suction force, soon, tornadoes
began to form from these holes.

As the tornadoes moved, countless resources in the sovereign immortal

aperture, even variant humans got swept away and sucked into the flesh ball.

At once, growling and crying could be heard as fatalities rose.

The flesh ball quickly digested them as it slowly expanded in size!

“Oh no, I have never seen this myriad tribulation before, it also seems to be
able to grow, it can get stronger and stronger!” Fang Yuan’s heart sank.

He needed to deal with Spectral Soul’s attacks and the myriad tribulation in
his immortal aperture.

Either one required his full attention and strength, nobody else could help
him with this.
Fang Yuan could not attend to both ends, he had to choose what to give up.

“Peaceful Soil Heavy Mountain Fortress can still last some time, but if I let
the myriad tribulation grow further, it will exceed the limit of my
capabilities!” Realizing the greater problem at hand, Fang Yuan chose to deal
with the myriad tribulation.

Most of his attention was placed in the sovereign immortal aperture, his
manipulation of Peaceful Soil Heavy Mountain Fortress became slightly
slower.

Combat Beast King had already awakened, he dragged his injured body and
stood up while gritting his teeth, listening to Fang Yuan’s orders.

Xue Er controlled the situation on the ground, using the ice crystal formation
to resist the suction of the tornadoes.

The flesh ball monster floated towards her slowly while being firm as a
mountain, there was a huge pressure placed on Xue Er.

Immortal killer move unrestrained heavenly mark was still active, Fang Yuan
had not stopped using it even for one moment! But now, its effect had fallen
to its lowest point.

Countless thoughts collided in Fang Yuan’s mind, it was like a turbulent sea,
the sight was spectacular.

Fang Yuan multitasked, he first activated a wisdom path killer move, the
quantity of his thoughts expanded abruptly, even his mind seemed small in
comparison!

A vast number of thoughts collided, allowing Fang Yuan to think acutely, he

was able to use other killer moves now.

There was no choice, Fang Yuan activated the human path formation to
interfere with the Heavenly Dao’s interference.

As the formation activated, it created a buzzing noise as it shined with a

brilliant light. At this step, over half of Fang Yuan’s thoughts were already
expended!

If this continued, the consumption of thoughts would exceed the production,

he would soon run out of thoughts and Fang Yuan would turn into an idiot
instantly.

Fang Yuan gritted his teeth but was not flustered, he was prepared for this,
there were many of his wills in the human path formation.

Fang Yuan’s wills took charge of the formation as it operated, allowing his
thoughts to accumulate again. Fang Yuan only had to do the first step of
activating the formation.

“Again!” Fang Yuan shouted internally as he activated the wisdom path killer
move again.

The thoughts in his mind burst out again like a tsunami, the quantity rose
continuously, almost filling up his entire mind!

For wisdom path Gu Immortals, having too many thoughts was a bad idea,
they would take up all the space in the mind and prevent any collisions from
happening, it was the worst case scenario.

Fang Yuan did not do something stupid, this was part of his expectations.

Seeing that these thoughts were about to fill up his mind, he placed his
concentration on the sea of clouds in the sky.

It was a huge and wide sea of clouds!

Chapter 2052: Eat Hear
Looming clouds spread out in the boundless sky, surging like tides as ripples
splashed, it seemed like the sea but it also resembled countless cloud
mountains, changing forms at will, having unlimited possibilities.

This was a killer move.

This killer move was Fang Yuan’s trump card, it was in fact his strongest
offensive method at this moment!

Immortal killer move — Unlimited Qi Sea!

This move was — mystical!

After Fang Yuan’s modifications, it not only used rank eight Immortal Gu Big
Qi as the core, it also had more than ten supplementary qi path Immortal Gu,
as well as hundreds of thousands of foundational mortal Gu. There were even
qi path immortal materials that could be expended to increase the power of
this move.

This move was — incredible!

It could use all of the kinds of qi in this world, life qi, death qi, sword qi,
blade qi, dusk qi, dawn qi… the more qi path immortal materials stored in it,
the more powerful this move would be. When used offensively, it would
expend immortal essence and immortal materials. When used defensively, it
would absorb external qi currents.

This move was — powerful and unstoppable!

Qi Xiang left this move behind, resulting in Qi Xiang grotto-heaven surviving

many myriad tribulations after his death. Myriad tribulations… most rank
eight Gu Immortals in this world did not even dare to challenge their first
myriad tribulation, they desperately delayed the time in their immortal
aperture. But Qi Xiang grotto-heaven’s heavenly spirit could use this move to
get past myriad tribulations time and time again.
After annexing this grotto-heaven, Fang Yuan used the light of wisdom to
modify unlimited qi sea before the fate war! After that, during this battle, he
used this move to break the primordial qi wall and shocked everyone,
including Gu Immortals, in the five regions.

The primordial qi wall was the creation of Primordial Origin, it not only had
qi path Immortal Gu but also qi path immortal materials. Qi path had one
trait, it was able to use qi path immortal materials in place of Gu worms to
execute killer moves.

Fang Yuan used unlimited qi sea to break the primordial qi wall, he also
absorbed the vast amount of qi path immortal materials inside the qi wall.

After the first time, Fang Yuan broke it again for a second time!

Not long ago in Heavenly Court, he used unlimited qi sea to absorb the
immortal material qi currents in the primordial qi wall, breaking it apart.

After absorbing two qi walls and with Fang Yuan’s exploration of Qi Sea
grotto-heaven, he gained a huge amount of immortal material qi currents, it
caused unlimited qi sea’s storage to rise to an unprecedented amount. Thus,
the power of this move reached a level that felt terrifying even for Fang
Yuan!

As Fang Yuan willed, he unleashed the killer move unlimited qi sea!

The sea of qi rumbled, a huge white qi pillar gathered in the sky and shot
down at the giant flesh ball monster.

The qi pillar was extremely thick, reaching a level that had never been seen
before, even Qi Xiang would gasp at its majesty now.

Not only that, the qi pillar was covered in a layer of shining golden light, it
gave off a tough feeling, it was extremely domineering!

Before the white qi pillar hit the flesh ball monster, a terrifying force acted
on it from all directions, immobilizing the flesh ball monster in the air.

Boom—!
The white qi pillar crashed into the flesh ball monster like a falling
monument, before rushing through it violently.

The huge sound created even deafened Xue Er, who was far away from the
battlefield.

The qi pillar had an intense white light, Xue Er, who was hiding in the ice
crystal formation had to shut her eyes to prevent them from being blinded.

The flesh ball monster could not resist the power of the qi pillar, it was
suppressed on the grassland of Mini Northern Plains.

The grass and soil of the grassland had already been sent flying long ago by
raging tornadoes before the qi pillar struck.

Thus, the flesh ball monster was pressed down on the barren grassland by the
unstoppable qi pillar!

As the earth shook, hundreds of cracks formed below the flesh ball monster,
resembling a spider web.

The white qi pillar was still continuing its assault, it had the power to
destroy mountains and split seas! The great flesh ball monster made from the
myriad tribulation got pressed on the ground like a defenseless chick, unable
to struggle.

Ten feet, twenty feet, thirty feet…

As the flesh ball monster sank into the ground, its body became smaller and
smaller. It continued to be disintegrated by the white qi pillar bit by bit!

The black holes all over the giant monster were shut, it tried to curl up, a
pitiful cry could be heard from within its body.

This was the cry of heaven’s will!

The white qi pillar lasted for twenty breaths of time before fading away.
Not only did the sea of clouds in the sky shrink by eighty percent, the
remaining clouds were sparse and thin. Fang Yuan quickly moved them away.

But the flesh ball monster was in a worse condition, its mountain-like body
had shrunk to the size of Dragon Palace.

The flesh ball monster did not move, it remained in the pit like a corpse. This
pit was over a thousand feet deep!

Fang Yuan’s main body breathed roughly, his brain was hurting along with
each breath. In order to use this move, he exerted his mind to its limit, he
used up too many thoughts, beyond the capabilities of his mind.

The myriad tribulation created from three thousand heaven path dao marks
finally paused for the first time.

It was as if it got beaten into shock by Fang Yuan!

The opportunity was rare, Fang Yuan quickly hastened his action and used
unrestrained heavenly mark to refine the heaven path dao marks.

In a short while, Fang Yuan refined more than a hundred heaven path dao
marks. Together with his earlier gains, he had already refined over a hundred
and sixty heaven path dao marks!

When Fang Yuan refine
